G. G. Mccoy showed us yesterday q
photo of n mining scene. We notice
there a lone miners cabin and in front
of it stands a female prospector, with an
AK in hand and smiling. Mack, when
showing us the photograph, smiled, too.
Perhaps she was his sweetheart in the
days of old. perhaps not; but here is
what it says back of that unique picture:
'This strange woman has become motor
ious throughout Colorado for her queer
manner of living. The cabin is situated
on the summit of Gold Hill, opposite
Buena Visto, at an %eleuation of 10000
feet. or about 5000 feet higher than than
the town. 1t is very difficult to APP
proach, so that few have been close
enough TO inspect it. The cabin was
built mostly by herself, she also making
all the furniture alone. Mrs. Mallen
has lived in this odd place for two years,
going out in the neighboring town and
country to work, and when she had
earned few dollars, retreating to her
mountain cabin to prospect for mineral,
OF which she has some very promising
claims. She carries water q mile for
cooking, and provisions from town often
carrying a sack of tlour up the steep hill
for three or four miles, where others
can scarcely follow empty-handed."
American Women I'm Europe.
Chicago News: 1t is estimated that
10000 American women were IN Europe
last summer and autumn. Twenty
thousand American men went along
with the majority to pay their expenses,
and those who were not with this ma
jority left husbands and fathers at home
to keep them supplied with funds. They
went everywhere-the. women-eXcept
to Spain and Russia. A few even
penetrated those countries. But they
didn't affect them much. There was SO
little chance to shop there. But they
tarried in London, Paris, Venice Berlin,
and they shopped continuously. When
they went to any other place where
there was a chance to shop they set
themselves at work buying things.
Sightseeing was Of secondary impor-
lance; it was even overlooked in the
pursuit of this fascinating pastime. One
ingenious Chicago woman fingered in
the European capitals until after. the
holidays. She landed upon the soil of
her own country in a novel costume for
winter weather. Every article except
her boots were of costliest lace. eff it
hadn't been so cold I'd had those of
lace, too" she declared to her friends.
AS she personally wore 1.-THE customs
regulations couldn't take it from her.
The value of the material in which she
was draped was So, 900.

AS Smart as a Man.

"After all women and girls seem to
be a brave lot. In the burning of a
hospital in New York two girls showed
that in an emergency their heads were
as clear and their hearts as strong as a
man's."-Omaha Daily.
Strange, thatl Remarkable! A
woman's heartas strong as a mans, and
her head MS clear? Itseems impossible,
but there's the word Of an editor for it
and it must be true.
Will the time ever come when BRAY
cry, fortitude and an exercise of COM
mon sen Sc on the part of women will
cease to astonish the public, especially
the male portion of it? many of whom
seem to entertain as vague an i'm
preston of the sex as did the great
sculptor to whom
SAL woman have been as if they were not;
Or, at most, a sudden rush of pigeons in the
A flutter of wings, a sound and then a
silence.''
To be sure, a woman will scream at a
mouse, but then a mouse is not an
emergency. 1t is a pity it takes such
dire eXtremities to convince the general
masculine mind that women are not
fools. Toe bad the daily lives of thous-

living but often that OF some male rela-
tive who is not clear-headed or strong
hearted enough to earn his own is not
enough to make her ability and bravery
an established fact. Although h may
never be called upon to carry the object
of her care from a burning building, or
to show her better sense by forgetting
him, or to risk her life for drowning
sailors, or to freeze her limbs off in a
prairie blizzard in trying to save the
lives OF little one who have been placed
in her charge.
Did any one ever hear Of a woman
turning coward in any greatemergency?
Did Marie Antionette finch or falter as
they cut of her long locks and robed
her, ''The Bride of DEATH" for the
gu~illotine? Did Jeanne Dare weep as
she was being jolted through the streets
on the way to a cruel place of execution?
No, even IA girls heart though she had
it, never faltered at death, though she
clasped her hands sadly rs she passed
through familiar places and sighed.
"Ohl Rouen, Rouen Must / die herel"
And so it really does seem that the
women and girls are a brave lot after
all. Well, yes, after all, it really does
seem to be SO. Men will sometimes be
surprised into an acknowledgement of
the fact, much as it may go against the
grain. And when they admit that a
women is as clear-headed as a man one
may know they are fully reused, for
that is the highest compliment they can
bestow.
One was heard to exclaim on hearing
the story of Miss Freeman: Tiled the
children together! My! wasn't she

thought of that" A man, indeed.

As saccharine may be used to adult
crate sugar, a method of separating and
Identifying may not prove unintel est
ing to some Of your readers, Icing a
sulphur compound, and soluble In
ether, the writer employed the method
suggested by Fl. Reischauer and finds
1T the rest in actual practice. All that
IS necessary is to treat the sugar with
about three times its volume Of ether in
closed vessel for twelve hours, with
frequent agitatluns. The ETHEREAL So
luton is drawn off and evaporated, and
the residue is carefully ignited in a
crccible with carbonate and nitrate Of
sodium, whereby the saccharne will be
converted into sulphate Of sodium and
can be estimated as barium sulphate.
Care must be used in igniting, as explo.
sons occur from too intense heat.

IA peculiar Erlendshi

A gentleman residing in the western
part OF New York State, who was fond
OF cats, one day discovered 9 stray puss
at his door, anu kindly gave her shelter.
The cat soon settled down In her new
home, but not until slle had made q
ycarful survey Of the premises, inolud-
ing the stable, where one horse was
kept.
Remarkable to say, between these
two incongruous animals a strong at
fectlon soon sprung UP. Pussie refused
a bed III the kitchen and passed every
night mounted on the broad back of
her friend, who, In his turn, never
seemed completely happy until the cat
appeared. On one occasion the horse
was not brought home until o late hour
at night, the puss ever faithful, how
ever, was waiting for him, sitting IN
the manger, from whence she at once
leaped on his back, purring out her
satisfaction, to the amusement of the
gentleman and the stable boy who wit
messed the performance.
