case DIRECTLY m PoIsr.

The United States brought suit against
the Silver King Mining Company OF Arr
roma for cutting timber on the public do
main for mining purposes. The case was
tried before the United States Court at
Pheuix last week. and decided N f.scr
Of the mining company and against the
Government. Here is . precedent that
shoald be Of value 10 the Eureka timber
eases. The same identical questions are
involved here 90 were determined in Arr
zons. In fact every case that has ever
been tried, criminal or civil, involving
the doctrine Of trespass on the public
timber for mining or domestic purposes
has invariably gone against the Govern
ment and the prosecution. Under these
circumstances is 10 not time that the su-
thorities Of Washington put . stop to
harrassing litigation against individuals
and mining companies. clearly who have
infringed no Law. In the mineral States
and Territories We have an undouoted
right to the use Of timber for mining n
domestic purposes. and it rs meddiesome
impertinencs on the part Of the Govern
ment TO interfere with US in the free en-
ioyment Of that lawful right. The Law
is plain, and the rule Of decision IN all
cases thus far tried lie equally simple. A
halt should be called in these annoying
prosecutions. It is manifest that nothing
can come from them, and should not. IL
there is an ounce Of brains possessed BY
those in charge at Washington. these
timber suits will be dropped at once.

HINTS ABOUT SHAVING.

Never use warm water, which makes the
face lot shavers, tender.
The moment you leave your bed Tor BATH
isthe best time to shave.
A piece Of soft plate leather should always
be kept with razors to wipe them with.
In cold weather place your razor CLOSED OF
course, In your pocket, OF under your arm, to
warm it.
Always wipe your razor clean and strop 1t
before putting it away; and always put your
shaving brush away with the lather On it.
II you only once put away your razor with
out stropping it, or otherwise perfectly clean
ing the edge, you must no longer expect to
shave well and easy, the soap and damp so
soon rust the fine teeth and edge.
The razor, being only a fine saw, should be
moved in a sloping or saving direction, and
held nearly fat to the face, care being taken
to draw the skin as tight as possible with the
left hand, so as tospresent an even surface,
and to throw out the beard
The practice of pressing on the edge Of the
razor in stropping it soon rounds it; tie pres
sure should be directed to the back, which
should never be raised from the strop. If you
shave from heel to point of razor, strop it
from point to heel; but if you begin with the
point in shaving, then strop it from heel to
point

THOUGHTS OF A QUEEN.

We are always the martyrs of our own
faults.
The power of doing good action is happi-
ness enough.
Jealousy in lover is homage; in hus-
band an insult
does not come.
Misfortune may make US proud; suffering
makes Us humble.
One must indeed be unhappy to attempt
suicide second time.
Great misfortune lends greatness even to
an insignificant person.
Maternal love is an instinct; but there are
instincts of divine origin.
Seek consolation only in immortal things:
in nature and in thought.
Grief is hot spring; the more it is re-
pressed the more it spouts.
A beast in pain seeks solitude. Man alone
makes parade of his misery.
Forgiveness is almost indifference; who
really loves does not forgive.
Friendship based solely upon gratitude is
like photograph; in time it fades
A man in love is like an ostrich; he thinks
he is not seen because he does not see others.
Suffering is sensitive and clairvoyant.
Happiness has firmer nerves, but not so true
an eye
When we have a sorrow which we do not
wish to mention, we speak of others which
we hid formerly.
Friendship diminishess where there is too
much happiness on either side and too much
misery on the other.
There is bat one happiness-duty. There
is but one consolation-work- There Is but
one delight-the beautiful
A woman does not become a mother; she is
one from her birth. A numerous family sat-
isles her vocation; it does not create it.
A household without children is bell with
out clapper. The latent sound would DO
beautiful enough were there something 30
awaken it.
Happiness when at distance appears 50
great as to touch the sky. When it enters
our door it so dwindlee that very often we
no longer recognize it
The respect people show you in your mis-
fortune diminishes long before you have be-
gun 10 outlive 1t, and you are irritated at
being treated as before.
Suffering is our most faithful friend It
often returns Often it changes its garb and
even its face: but we soon recognize it by its
cordial and intimate embrace.
There is sort of instantaneous brother
hood between victims of misfortune. When
you have long been IN mourning you feel at
tracted by every black cloak you meet.
When you are Young grief is tempest
which prostrates You; at mature age II Is
simply north wind which adds a wrinkle to
your brow and one more white hair 70 your

What All Mexican Drinks.

The region we passed through is the
center of the pulque region of Mexico.
This road runs train called the
"pulque train" into tho City of Mexico

ties of pulquo. These bottles remind
one Of the bottles known in Scripture
time. They are made OF hogskins. The
skin is stripped from the hog almost
intact, turned inside out, and then with
the. legs, tail and throat tied up it is
filled with pulque. The baggage ear
of our train is nearly filled with these
uncouth objects, and until we knew
what they were we supposed it was o
load of hogs. AS the train stops at
the small stations on the way to Vera
Cruz boys and men rush up to tho bag

johns, which are filled from these hog
skins. In the cities the pulque shops
are frequent, and you can always see

A STissionary's Strange Stories About the
Hudson BAY Indians.

A Hissionnry's Strange Stories About the
Hudson Bay Indians.
Rev. Z. w. Young, OF Toronto. Cam
nda. has been in Washington for d
week telling large audiences about the
Indians of tho Hudson Bay region.
Having been u missionary among these
Indians tor twenty years, Mr.. Young
is competent to talk about them. The
Hudson Bay section is like n sealed
book to a great many people and Mr..
Young tells some interesting facts. He
penetrated the country fot hundreds of
miles. using a s5iff in summer and Il
dog team in winter.
1.-The Indians of Hudson Bay" said
Mr.. Young to reporter. 'are very
much like the American Indians in
general appearance. They are not at
all like the Esquimaux. They live in
wigwams and spend their lives hunting
and fishing. Many of them were can
nibals. 1t was their custom also to kill
the aged and decrepit as soon as they
got too old to spare a rabbit or catch a
fish.
''Were you ever attacked?"
THE medicine men and conjurers
were those from which 1 suffered
most. They made their living by
preying upon the superstitions OF the
Indians, and as my teachings neces-
sarily broke up their business they
wanted to kill me-"
How is the climate there"

Young removed from his trunks Il

beads. Attached to the coat vas q fire

and stone were carried. Pants and

is one reason why we have been sue

How to Keep Up the Muscle and Health in
Winter-Eim

How to Keep Up the Muscle and Hoalth In
Winter-Time.
Cold weather and stormy days pre-
vent most men from taking their ac-
customed exercise during the winter
months. Outdoor sports arc abandoned
from necessity. Baseball. cricket, ten
MIS- rowing and athletic sports OF track
and ring are impossible. and unless in
door exercise is taken up the muscles
become soft and Aabby, and tho general
health of the man suffers.
Young mon engaged in Office work
and other combining occupations spe-
cially fool the loss Of their summer
sports. How to keep the physical
man in condition from now until tho
warm days of spring mako outdoor
sports possible. is tho thought upper
most in many minds.
If one has room for suitable appara-
tus at home, he should dey0to half an
hour to vigorous exercise both morn
ing and evening. Lifting machines,
Indian clubs and dumb-bclls take up
very little room except when in use
then they should bo given wide range.
The variety of movements with the
clubs and Gumb-bells that may be
learned. with lit 10 instruction, is so
great that every muscle in tho body il
brought into play.
The lifting machine, which consists
of two weights attached to ropes run
ming over pulleys aad lifted by means
OF wooden handles al tho ends of tbs
ropes, affords excellent general eXea-
else. The motion OF rowing, striking.
pulling and lifting may be varied in ID
number of ways, and by sitting on a
low stool nj placing the foot in she
handles tho legs may be exercised.
Ii one is member of al athletic
cub where there is a good gymnasium
he will do woll to TAKE = regular coarse
ST gymnastics. devoting certain
amount of tire every day to tho work.
Bowling is good exercise for tho, mus
cles that it brings into use. but should
not be relied upon for general develop

An excellent plan for winter exer-
else is to go through courso'of box
