Metals as Medicines.

Another Frenchman has announc- ed what is considered an important discovery by well informed specialists, Time was when gold was credited with the power of prolonging life if taken as a medicine. Dr. Burg, a French chemist of eminence, asserts that this belief was not all error. For a.number of years he has been experi- menting to ascertain the influence of the various metals on the human or ganism. Some ten years ago be came forward with the proposition that cop per and the acids of copper were not injurious 10 the health, as commonly believed. After some discussion the majority of specialists in France and Germany agreed with him. He pur- sued his investigations and arrived at the conclusion that copper and its acids are powerful tonics. He ex- tended his field of investigation and became the founder of new system of healing diseases by means of met als, such as gold, silver, aluminium, copper, etc.
 He enumerates Q number of metal cures" in q report to the French Acad- emy of Science. Among them may be mentioned a case of a mysteries cured with aluminium case of a pe- culiar dizziness cured with gold and silver; and case of violent mysteries cured in ten minutes by means of sil- yer His own father suffered with di- abetes; he was cured with iron and died at the age of eighty six.
 Recently & number of remarkable cures have been performed in the hos pital of Moricourt, Paris. A journey man butcher was in a few days cured of violent cramps in one arm by means of copper The metal did not come in contact with the sick limb, yet its effects were so wonderfully strong that the experimenting physician could transplant the cramp from one arm to the other. Many similar cures are re ported by reliable scientists, A num- Der of well known medical authorities have endorsed the system" of Dr. Burg, and its sanguine advocates pre- dict that 1t will effect a complete revo- lution in the science of practical med icine-Minneapolis Tribune.

Alittle boy was passing through Riving- ton street the other afternoon with four new pairs of trousers slung across his shoulder.

Worked Out Ii lines.

The new and exceedingly rich strike made on the Cupel mine Is attracting a good deal of attention among min CTS. It has been taken for granted that the Cupel has been worked out and the mine was abandoned last year; but J. K Makenzie, the former super intendent, recently concluded to pros pect the old workings again, with the result of finding the largest body of ore yet found in this mine. It is prob able that like results would be found in other mines in this county, which are now called by many, worked out mines," if the proper amount of work was done on them. A number of these mines, since the first of the year, have again been made producers by the owners leasing them to competent miners, thing which they have here tofore been averse to doing. It would seem from the experience of the year, that it iszexccedingly doubtful if a Mo have county mine can be worked ut"-Mohave County Miner.

FROM WITHIN.
Not by the sea tide.

Not by the sea tide,
 Nor the swift river, Nor the stars that sweep thro' waste of heaven Side by side
 Forever and ever, Do we mark mans life with it's loss and gain. Not by the leafs fall,
 Nor by the spring rain, Nor the atoms that drift thro' endless storms Changing all
 Tho they changeless remain, Do we count mans life with it's hap and hane. Not by the strong things,
 Nor by things sweet, Nor by the fair light of sun that speeds far On swift wings,
 Nor the wild winds that meet, Do we time mans life with its dusk and day. But by the strong will,
 But by the souls grace, But by the yearnings that thread night and day Soft and still,
 Till they glow In his face, Do we tell mans life forever and aye. George Le Moine in Overland Monthly.

Lord Elgin civil secretary and superin tendent of Indian affairs In 1854 Mir Oliphant travelled in the southern Ameri can states, and Pierre Soule persuaded him to join Walkers Nicaragua expedi tion. He was arrested at the mouth of the San Juan river and taken on board an English ship, which WAS commanded by his own cousin, and carried back to England.
 In 1857 Mir Oliphant went with Lord Elgin to China. He was charge d affaires at Pekin, but was attacked and seriously wounded by persons hostile to Europeans and resigned his position. He returned to England and went to parliament, but soon left the house of commons to join a spirit ualistic society in Chautauqua county, N r., and became it's leader. The presidency of cable company followed in 1873, and after two years of service he went to Palestine, where he has been ever since
 Among his writings are Minnesota. or the Far West, published in 1855; 'Pa triots and Filibusters, or Incidents of Poli tical Explanatory and Travel" "The Land of Gilead;" Episodes in Life of Adven ture, or Moss from a Rolling Stone" Traits and Travesties;" "Sympneumata or Evolutionary Forces Now al Work in Man" published in 1885 His ''Atiora Peto' is best known to Americans, and is clever satire on American society.

mitted fatal errors, deceived, as is claimed, by bis subordinates.
 In 1887 he obtained a captaincy by con- spicuous gallantry at the "lron Gate of Algiers, the location of 0 desperate con fict in that war. In 1S40 he was again promoted for skillfully conducting a re- treat. In 1S42 he was made colonel. In 1854 he was sent to the Crimea as chief of the artillery staff, and did his duty so well that he was made major general. In the Italian war of 1859 he became a lieutenant general, and saved the day at Solferino by hurrying up his guns to bear on the Austrian right. In 1869 he was placed in command of the Sixth army corps, and early in 1870 he was named marshal and senator of the empire, with powers to inspect the condition of the French army. And here he committed the fatal error which, probably, had most to do with the downfall of Napoleon. He assured the emperor that the army was in a complete state of efficient organization and fully able to cope with the Prussians. The painful outcome is well known
 The real weakness of the French army was soon revealed; corruption and favor itism had completely demoralized it, though the outside show was fair. Cap Marshal Lob@uf felt his humiliation so keenly that after his captivity in Germany he retired to Switzerland and remained till the new govern ment was established in France. Then there arose between him and Bazaine one of those unhappy controversies with which our own civil war has made us too familiar. It ended in the ruin of Bazaine Frenchmen could not admit that they had rushed unprepared into great war, and therefore accepted Marshal Lebeuf's statement that the army was efficient in June, 1870, and promoted him to still higher honors.

How To Tell Good Beef.

For the benefit of a number of in quirers who, since the agitation of the matter of unwholesome meats was be- gun, have asked the Stock Grower how meats from the ice-box that arc affect ed with disease germs may be recog- nized, we give the rules lald down by Professor Y. C. Vaughn, of the Michi- gan University, and chairman of the Michigan state board of health. He says:
 Good beef has reddish brown col Well nourished beeYes furnish flesh which while raw is marked with spots of white fat it Is firm and compact. Old, lean animals furnish a flesh which is tough, dry and dark the fat is yellow
 Veal is slightly reddish, and has tender white flores, The fat is not distributed through the lean, as in beef. The same is true of mutton. In well nourished animals white fat accumulates along the borders of the muscles.
 Pork is rose red, and has fat dis tributed through the muscles. The lard is white and lies in heavy deposits under the sllin
 Good beef is not of pale pink col or, and such color indicates that the animal was diseased. Good beef does not have dark purple hue, for this color is evidence that the animal has not been slaughtered, but died with the blood i'll it's body, or has suffered 1 from acute febrile affection.
 Good beef has no or but little odor or, if any odor Is perceptible, it is not disagreeable. In judging the odor of meat pass clean knife, which has been dipped in hot water, through it and examine subsequently, as to the odor of the knife. Tainted meat often gives off plainly percep.ible and dis agreeable odor while being cooked.
 Good meat is elastic on the touch Meat that is wet and fabby should bc discarded, it should not become gela- tinous after being kept in a cool place for two days. but should remain dry on the surface and firm to the touch Las Vegas Stock Grower.
