IN THE ENEMY's STRONGHOLD.

The women Of the Salvation Army have
taken to visiting the liquor saloons Of New
York and Brooklyn in order to sell the War
C,y the newspaper of the army. Two Of the
very pretty army girls were In a notorious
saloon not thousand miles from the Sun
Office, on this mission the other night. Lean
ing against the bar were gamblers and pugi-
lists and one or two who have been jailed
for using their pistols too freely. They seemed
to be shocked at the appearance Of the girls
among them. The modest dress and red rib
bons on the ugly straw bonnets easily told
them who the visitors were. Several papers
were bought, when strapping pugilist strobe
up and said: "Young women, I'll buy the
whole bundle if you promise never to como
here again" The proposition was not con-
sidered for a second. They said they be-
lieved it to be their duty to visit such places,
adding that the nuns of the Roman Catholic
Church did so. 'But, don't you know that
somebody might insult you" the big IAN al
most pleaded. ''No, sir" replied the speaker
OF the two, and, in words touched with scorn,
she added: mo man will insult US; the re-
marks Of others would not hurt u.s." 1t was
only after persistent entreaty from the pro-
prietor that the Jealous women were induced
20 leave the place.-Ne,u York Sun.

THE home of the tarantula, which
from late accounts may have been
supposed to be in the banana
bunch, is made of mud and is about
fc-- inches long and an inch and q
half in diameter. The mud which
c2mposes it is cemented together by
the tarantula until it becomes almost
as hard as a brick. The interior is
lined with whitish colored substance.
and the only opening is one end, which
can be closed by means of door fit
ting the opening as nicely as car
penter could make it. The door is at
tached to the house by means of q
hinge, and here is the interesting
feature of the tarantula's house, the
hinge. No other insect can make q
hinge for door.

All of those hired were experienced
workmen, and the work of establishing a
permanent camp was quietly undertaken.
A down tree-one already lying on the,
ground-was selected as being straight
gained and of good size. 1t was about
ten feet through at the base and eight
feet in diameter at the other end of the
trunk, 100 feet away. There was al;
ready cabin on the site selected for the
camp, so the first thing done was to build
q corral for the horses. For this stakesi
were wanted. With the crosscut saw a
section of the trunk eight feet long was
cut off and quartered. These quarters
were then split into slabs three inches
thick and these slabs again split into
stakes three inches square. AS fast as
these were sharpencd they were driven!

A Very Dirty World.

MT. John Aitlen is very ingenious gentleman, but some of his discoveries have a tendency to make one feel creepy. He has invented an instru- ment by which he is able to take a number of calculations of the most uncomfortable kink. With the aid of this apparatus he is able to count ex- actly the particles of dust in 8 sum- beam. Ina cubic inch of dust near the ceiling of a room he found there ss, $40, 900 atoms of dust, and in the same space of a Bunsen fieme 489,000,- GOO. Such discoveries make us dread the air we breathe.
 Not long ago MT. Aitken proved that in the atmosphere of 8 room when the gases are lit in the evening there are as many particles in each cubic inch as there are inhabitants in Great Brit ain, and that in three inches from the gases of Bunsen flame the particles of dust are as numerous as the number of people in the world. It would re- quire more courage than is averasely possessed to state the quantity of dust we inhale with every breath.-Lon- don Globe.

machlne may pc ueemeu Dest suiteu for its concentration.
 The concentration of the coarser sizes is universally done by the use of machine known ss Zig" The prin- ciple on which this machine works, is the tendency that a mixture of ore particles of similar size, but of diff ferent specific gravities, has to arrange itself into separate layers, according to gravity, when acted upon by an up- ward alternating stream of water.
 The ordinary form of jig consists of wooden tank, having . hopper shap- ed bottom with an opening to permit the clean ore being removed. The up- per part of the tank is divided into two compartments by . vertical partition which reaches about half way to the bottom. In one of these compart- ments there is fixed 6 wooden frame, carrying . screen of heavy wire-cloth, while the other compartment contains a wooden plunger fitted SO as to work up and down, receiving it's motion from Q crank or eccentric fitted on shaft overhead.
 In operation, the jig is first filled with water from pipe which enters below the plunger, the plunger is put in motion, and the sized ore particles are then fed on to the screen. As water is constantly supplied by the pipe, there is consequently 6 stream flowing upward through tho material on the screen; but, as the plunger con- tinues to move up and down and act on the water beneath it, the stream passing through the screen is sltern- ately accelerated and retarded at each stroke made by the plunger, 30 dis turbing the ore particles on the screen that the heaviest particles sink to the screen, and the lightest rise to the top
 AS generally made, figs have two, three, and some times four screens, and the tank is made long enough to contain the required number. When two or more screens are used the tank is divided laterally by partitions into as many compartments as there are to be screens, and those partitions reach to the bottom of the tank; the longi- tudinal partitions which separate the plunger spaces from the screens only extend about half way down as al- ready described. In placing the screens care should be taken to sec that they sit perfectly level and rigid, and each succeeding screen should be set about two inches lower than the one before it. The depth of the bed of mixed ore and rock is arranged according to the size and nature of the ore particles to be treated, and varies from six or seven inches in the coars- est size, to three or four inches with the finest sizes; this depth is regulated by making the overflow at the end of the screen space the requisite height above the screen. Each screen should have its own plunger, and it's own sep arate water supply, and the water pipe should be furnished with valve or cock, so that the supply can be proper erly regulated.

How TO Enjoy the Long Evenings.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening can be
had with the new game called "1'he Race

folding board in brilliant colors, which Is
in itself beautiful as well as an instruct
i've thing. Portraits OF all our Presidents
from Washington to Harrison appear on
the borders OF the board and in the center
there are correct views of the United States
Senate chamber and of the White House,
surmounted by trophies of our national
flag. The list of the AZ states is printed in
the middle of the board and the electoral
vote of each is given opposite to its name.
The first stages Of the game are taken up
with competitive race for mayors chair
a governor chair and a congressman's
chair. Then follows a race for the United
States Senate, and the grand climax is
reached in struggle between the players
to carry each of the AZ states; the side
which first scores POS votes out OF the to-
tai Ala in the electoral college elects its
ma president and so wins the game. The
playing is done with a pack of As cards,
numbered variously from 1000 to 10000 and
bearing pictorial representations Of famil-
lar political scenes. II is decided novel;
ty in parlor games and has the merit of
being not only amusing and exciting, but
