TIN PLATE FINDS.

Chicago Has Small Boom, Loaded Down
With Contingencies.
RAPID CITY, D. T., May 19.-The prob
lem of separating the mica in the tin ores
of the Black Hills has been solved. At
least Professor Carpenter, dean of the Da-
kOta School of Mines, so declares. 1t is
claimed that Professor Carpenters process
is simple, effective and so cheap that the
ore can be reduced at a handsome profit
If these claims are true and the deposits
of tin ore in the Black fills prove any
thing like as extensive as they have been
represented it cannot be long before a vast
tin plate industry will be established in
Chicago.

made this possible.

AT the poor girls home the scenes were

She wept. and when her swollen eyes were

with a strange light. She cried hysteri-

The Roumanian villages are by no
means as picturesque Us the Bulgarian,
which derive most of their beauty from
the trees and gardens by which they are
surrounded, for every Bulgarian Is by
natural instinct q gardener. In south
eastern Wallachia and nlong the shores
of the Danube the peasants live in holes
dug in the ground and rooted over with
o rude thatch, but nea Bucharest the
houses are fairly built, whitewashed and
covered with q thick thatcb of cane,
which extends beyond the walls and
forms a shady veranda supported by
poles. / noticed that the walls Of
come of the houses were embel-
llshed with gayly painted pictures Of
flowers. The object of these adornments
was not aesthetic, but strictly business
like. 1t was practically the same as If a
card were hung In the window bearing
the inscription: Young lady of mar
riageable age to be disposed of. Excel
lent references and adequate dowry.
Inquire within" The convenience of this
method of advertisement is indisputable.
A young Roumanian In search of a wife
has only to take a stroll through his ma
tive village. In a quarter Of an hour he
nscertains how many eligible damsels
are furnished by the community; inqui-
ries follow, and very probably before
evening he is suited to his fancy. En-
glish people who are Shocked by this
practical system ought to form a society
for the suppression of our own matrimo-

rain, What was my establishment upon
passing a prominent clothing store to see
o blue flag waving in front of the build
ing, with ''clear and fair weather. on it
In large white letters. l thought, how
ever, that the proprietor had forgotten
to take 1t down, and passed on. It was
still raining when 1 approached the
place the next day. The same flag was
fluttering merrily in the breeze in spite
of the terrible falsehood it had written
on It's face. My curiosity was aroused,
and 1 decided to learn, If possible, what
object the proprietor could have In al
lowing 1t to remain there. 1 entered the
store and asked him the question plainly.
AT first he gave me ~evasfve answers, but
finally he became confidential and said:
THAT Is one of the very best advertise
ments 1 ever had. When 1t rains / put
out the clear flag, and when it Is clear
vice versa. People passing along the
street and noticing the apparent mistake
como into the store and tell me about it.
That is when my clerks get In their work,
and there are few days when they do
not sell from one to five moro suits than
they otherwise would. You know the
difficult thing Is to get customers inside
the door. Why, 1 wouldn't give those
flags for q half dozen 'barkers,' and they
don't make half the noise. "-Philadef-

of a rather strange marriage which took

tho northwest there was a double we'd
ding. One Of the couples were elderly
and staid and the bride had been divorced
for other than scriptural causes. Her
son was the bridegroom in the younger
pair. A Methodist minister, whom
won't name, but of whose church the old
couple were members, was invited to
perform the ceremonies.
HE promptly declined to oflciate for
the divorced woman, but he would have
no objection to joining the young folks
together. The old people made no com
plant; they engaged the services of a
Methodist local preacher, whose views
on tho subject of divorce were more
liberal than those Of their pastor. A few
evenings since the two couples and the
two preachers stood up together In the
same room. The two services were read
and the six souls were made happy; foul

of them because they had been presented

Tho following is n little girls essay on
tho COW: "a COW is an animal with four
legs on the under side. The tail Is longer
than tho lcgs, but is not used to stand on.
The COW kills flies with her tail. The
COW has big cars that wigglo on hinges;
60 docs her tail. The cow Is bigger than
the calf, but not so big as nm elephant.
She Is made SO small that she can go
into the barn when nobody is looking.
Some COWS are black and some hook. A
dog was hooked once. She tossed the
dog that killed the cat that wor-
ried the rat. Black cows give white
milk; &c do other cows. Milk mon sell
milk to buy their little girls dresses, which
they put water in and chalk. Cows chew
cuds, and each finds its own chew. That
