Mistakes.

1t is a mistake to labor when you
are not in a fit condition to do so
to think that the more person eats
the healthier and stronger he will
become; to go to bed at midnight
and rise at daybreak, and imagine
that every hour taken from sleep is
an hour gained; to imagine that, if
little work or exercise is good, a
violent or prolonged exercise is bet
ter; to conclude that the smallest
room in the house is large enough
to sleep in; to eat as if you had
only a minute to finish the meal in,
or to eat without an appetite, or to
continue after it has been satisfied,
merely to please the taste; to be-
lieve that children can do as much
work as grown people, and that the
more hours they study the more
they learn; to imagine that what
ever remedy causes one to feel
Immediately better Gas alcoholic
stimulants) is good for the system,
without regard to the after effects;
to take off proper clothing out of
season because you have become
heated; to sleep exposed to a direct
draft; to think any nostrum or
patent medicine is a specific for all
diseases.

Miners With Green Hair.

According to the Territorial En-
terprise contract has been let on
the Martin White mine at Ward,
New, and work is to be resumed
forthwith. A queer phenomenon
is connected with the working of
the Martin White ore. The ore is
very base, and it is necessary to
roast the whole Of it. During the
roasting process no disagreeable or
deleterious fumes are observable,
yet the hair and the boards of all
the men engaged about the works
are soon dyed bright and permanent
green. Even the eyebrows of the
working-men are as green as grass.
In scores of Nevada mines ores of
various kinds are smelted and roast
ed, but at none of them is either
the hair or boards of the workmen
changed from their natural hue.
It is said that there is less arsenic
in the ore of the Martin White than
in that of many other mines. Old
smelters say arsenic has no effect.

emerald hue impaired to the hair
is due to the presence OF some un-
known and mysterious metal or

Surgery Of the Lungs.

In recent months surgeons have
given astonishing proofs of the pos
sibility of saving life and restoring
health, in many cases, by removing
portions of such vital organs as the
brain and the liver. Prof. Tillmanns
of Leipsic, has found that surgical
treatment may be extended even
to the lungs, and to the arrest of
consumption. In a case of turber-
culosis of the left lung, an opening
was made and the diseased part of
the lung exposed, when that portion
shriveled andwas carefully removed.
The patient recovered, and is now
able to work. Prof. Tillmanns be-
lieves that this may prove desira-
BILE treatment when the disease is
localized, and states that two op-
erations would doubtless be neces-
sary-one to expose the affected
part Of the lung and bring about
atrophy and shriveling, and Sec
ond to remove the parts after being
disabled.

THE MYSTERIOUS NUMBER SEVEN.
Strange Things Accredited to It in
Olden Days.

Seven was considered a holy mum.
Der, and throughout the Scriptures
it is frequently used as such, says a
writer in Chambers Journal. The
seventh son of seventh son was
formerly looked upon as natural
doctor who possessed miraculous
powers of healing the sick, and
could, in fact, frequently effect a
cure by merely touching the suf-
ferer. Even at the present day this
piece Of superstition has not died
out, and occasionally one may still
meet with these so-called natural
doctors, who fully believe in the
marvellous powers ascribed to them.
Among the Gaboon tribes there is
superstition that on the seventh
day after the birth of child the
woman who is nursing the mother
is in danger Of being converted into
an animal by some evil spirit if the
necessary steps are not taken to pre-
vent her metamorphosis.
According to the popular super
stition seven years of bad luck may
be expected by the unfortunate per-
so n who chances to break mirror.
There is general belief with most
people that they undergo some
change every seven years; mans
life is popularly divided into seven
ages, and formerly it was supposed
that seven and nine were capable
of exerting much subtle influence
over men, the product of those two
numbers being particularly power
full in this respect. Thus sixty
three years was called the grand |
climacteric, and that age was con-
sidered very important crisis in a
mans life. Women, on the othsr
hand, were supposed to be more
susceptible TO the influence of six.
Probably it was this belief In the
influence Of nine and six !
on mems lives which originally gave
rise to the custom Of granting leases
for multiples of seven or nine years.
Long leases are granted for ninety
nine or nine hundred and ninety
nine years, instead of hundred or
a thousand years, and there is, we
believe, piece of superstition that
otherwise the hundredth or thous-
andth year would be under the in
huence of the evil one.

HOW TO TREAT A SWEETHEART.
Advice Probably From the Pen of
an Old Maid.

When he comes to Sc you lie
me give you few hints as to you
treatment of him, says very colo
) and unromantic writer in the HON,
: Journal.
First of all, my dear, don't LEI
him get an idea that your one OBJ
Iject in life is to get all you can out
of him.
Don't let him believe that you
think SO lightly of yourself that
whenever he has an idle moment
he can find you ready and willing
to listen to him.
Don't let him think that you are
going out driving with him alone.
even if your mother should be len
lent enough to permit this.
Don't let him think that you are
going to the dance or the frolic with
him; you are going with your
brother, or else you are going to
make up a party which will all go
together.
Don't let him spend his money
on you; when he goes away he may
bring you box of sweets, a book
or some music; but don't make him
feel that you expect anything but
courteous attention.
Don't let him call you by your
first name, at least not until you
are engaged to him, and then only
when you are by yourselves.
Don't let him put his arms around
you and kiss you; when he put the
pretty ring on your finger it meant
that you were to be his wife soon;
he gained a few rights, but not the
one of indiscriminate caressing.
When he placed it there he was
right to put a kiss on your lips; it
was the seal Of your love; but if
you give your kisses too freely they
will prove of little value. A maiden
fair is like beautiful, rich, purple
plum; it hangs high upon the tree
and is looked at with envy. He
who would get it must work for it,
and all the trying should be on his
side, so that when he gets it he ap-
preciates it. You know the story
of the man who saw a beautiful
plum on tree, which he very much
wanted. Next to it hung another
plum. 1t seemed as beautiful, and
it was apparently just as sweet as
the one he wanted. The seeker for
it stood under it for a moment,
looked at it with longing eyes, and,
behold, the plum dropped into his
OF what value was it then?
It was looked at and cast aside.
Now, take this little story and make
it point the moral I wish it to.
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1890-07-19

A PROMINENT medical writer says
that no intelligent person who loves
his children will allow them to sleep
with persons greatly older than
themselves. The nervous vitality
of a child should not be absorbed
by any diseased or aged relative or
friend. Children, compared with
adults, are electrically in a positive
condition. The rapid changes which
are going on in their little bodies
abundantly generate and as extern
sively work up vital neryo-electric
fluids. But when, by contact for
long nights with elder and negative
persons, the vitalizing electricity of
their tender organizations is alb.
sorbed, they soon pine, grow pale,
languid and dull, while their bed
companions feel a corresponding
invigoration. It is undeniable that
healthful influences are lost, and to
a fatal extent sometimes by this
ill-advised custom. A woman was
prostrated with incurable consump-
ton. Her infant occupied the same
bed with her almost constantly day
and night. The mother fingered
for months on the verge of the
grave, her demise being hourly ex-
pected. Still she fingered on, daily
disproving the predictions of her
medical attendants. The child,
meanwhile, pined without any ap-
parent disease. It's once fat little
cheeks fell away with singular ra-
pidtty till every bone in it's face was
visible. Finally it had impaired to
the mother it's last spark Of vitality
and simultaneously both died.
