The Lyons and Liverpool Dams.

The two largest dams in Europe are
the e dam building for the Liver
pool ~waterworks, about fifty miles out
of the city. The other dam, which is
said to be the largest in the world, is
at Lyons, France, and after a quarter
of a century of labor is now nearly
completed. But even this will be
second in point of size, if not in en-
.gineering skill, to the new quaker
bridge dam in New York when it is
done. That big dam at Lyons is GER
tainly a wonderful bit of work." said
Mr.. Coleman. 81 don't remember the
exact figures now, but | think it is 175
feet high. The foundations are 100
feet deep. At the summit the wall is
about 200 feet long. though much mar
rover at the bottom, of course, be-
cause the dam is built across a valley,
betweon two steep hills. The body of
the dam is of concrete. with solid stone
facing. 1t is a substantial job, good
material, good workmanship, no
chances taken on anything. The
Liverpool dam is smaller, but in every
way as fine a bit of work. They have
utilized a new idea there by dropping
big powders into the bed of concrete.
Nothing short of a miracle is going
to make that dam give way. The
thoroughness and substantially of
works of this kind in England impress
an American, particularly a man who
has lived in the west as l have and
seen some of the hasty work thrown
together there. Labor is cheaper here.
The men a take longer time at their
work and be more thorough with it.
The laborers certainly do take their
time. In New York twenty-five men
would do as much work in a day as
any forty men whom | saw at work on
the Liverpool dam. But this is my
candid opinion: So far as skill in con-
struction goes British engineers and
contractors have nothing to teach u.s."

Rich Mems Wives at the Bank.

Confession of Dearborn street bank
cashier: "a man in a bank is not all

have just been saying prompts me to
tell you something under cover. There
isn't one depositor in 200 who will al
low his wife to check against his
money. Occasionally a man leaving
town will come in and ask us to honor
his wife's checks to a certain amount.
A woman doesn't seem to have any
sense about money in bank, unless she
is her own depositor, and then she is
apt to be a good deal of a nuisance.
She will come down shopping, for in
stance. She buys a bill at one house
for $3.50 and she gives a check for
that sum. She makes purchases at
another house to the amount of $3.50
and gives a check for that. And she
goes on shopping a half day. giving a
check for every purchase. And The
next day she comes to the bank and

The Red Yankees of the Northwest.

The Grows have got horses and cat
tie and show an ability to hold on to
them. There are on the reservation
80, 900 to 40, 600 head of cattle and 25,-
900 sheep belonging to the white men.
For the grazing privilege the white
men pay fifty cents a head on horses
and cattle and ten cents a head on
sheep. The money goes to the tribe.
The advantage of this privilege is that
it lets the stockmen out of paying taxes
to the county government.
The ability of the Grow to turn an
honest penny was illustrated recently,
when Troop K of the First cavalry was
crossing Pryor creek on the way to
Livingston. Quartermaster Edwards
was ahead of the command some dis
lance, looking for the best roads and
acting as pilot. He came to a place
where the water had spread out over
the road, making it almost impossible.
What made matters worse the road
was fenced in. Old Crooked Face. a
Grow, had his ranch at that point. He
made his appearance as the quarter
master was specializing how to get
around the slough. 1t was evident
that the horses would mire if the troops
attempted to cross. At length Old
Crooked Face pointed to his fence and
suggested that he take it down and let
the soldiers go through his field. He
concluded his proposition by saying
that it would cost the soldiers only
twenty-five cents apiece. The quarter
master declined without thanks and
set about plans to fix the road. 1t
wasn't but a few moments until the
discovery was made that the whole
trouble was caused by the damming of
a spring near by. That had been done
with the evident purpose of making
the water overflow and ruin the road.
Old Crooked Face looked on until he
saw the jig was up, and then an in
tensely disguised expression came over
his intelligent countenance.-St. Louis

Jade.

The jade:producing country, accord.
ing to a recent official report on Bur-
NAH, is partly inclosed by the Chinwin
and Uru rivers and lies between the
t~wenty-ffth and twenty-sixth parallels
of latitude. The most celebrated of all
jade deposits is reported to be in the
Myadaung district. The largest
quarries now being worked are situated
in the country of Merip Kachins. The
largest mine is about fifty yards long,
forty broad, and twenty deep. The
eason of jade operations begins in
November and lasts till May. In Feb
ruary and March, when the floor of
the pit can be kept dry by bailing, i'm
mense fires are lighted at the base of
the stone. A careful watch is then
kept in a tremendous heat to detect the
first signs of splitting. When this &C.
ours the kachins attack the stone with
pickaXes and hammers, or detach por-
tions by hauling on levers inserted in
the cracks. The heat is almost un-
~supportable, the labor severe, and the
mortality among the workers is high.
