THE VIRGINIA ORE BANK.

A mile northeast of Bakerton, on
continuation of the branch railroad,
is another busy scene at the Virginia
ore bank. The books at Antietam
Furnace show that over hundred
years ago the deposit of iron ore at
this place had attracted the atten-
ton of manufacturers, who had
worked even before that upon this
valuable vein. But it has never
yielded as much ore as it does now,
one reason being because the methods
of digging and handling 1t are so
greatly improved. For fourteen
years this property was lying idle. A
year or two ago, after it had become
the property of Mr.. Thomas w. Ali,
it was again opened up, and now that
the railroad has reached it there is no
question as to its future. Mr.. ALL
owns 90 acres of land here, and it is
estimated that 55 acres of it contain
the iron ore. The vein is practically
ine9haustible.
Mr.. w. G. Foreman, an experienced
miner, is superintendent of the works.
Under his management everything
moves along smoothly and systemat-
ically. About 25 men are employed.
The ore, which comprises almost the
entire hill, is easily mined. 1t is load
ed into small cars, drawn by steam
up an inclined plane, dumped into the
big washer, the dirt and refuge cleaned
out, then drawn again into cars,
which are pulled up to a platform
along the railroad, and the ore is
finally dumped into the cars. In
former years the ore was raked out
from the earth with iron rakes, and
only about half Of it was secured,
while the rest went into the dump
heap.
About fifty-fve tons of ore is ship
ped daily-some days two cars and
some days thres. 1t goes mostly to
Baltimore, but also supplies a FUR
mace at Dunbar, Pa. The ore is a
neutral hematite, and Mr.. Foreman,
who has had "a years experience in
this business, says that it is the best
he has ever handled. The demand IL
greater than the present capacity OF
the works, and Mr.. Foreman told the
REGISTER man that plans are being
arranged for vast improvement and
enlargement Of machinery. A new
inclined plane will be built, and ii Is
hoped that work will be found for
two hundred men, There's no doubt
that there is plenty OF ore there for
any number OF MEN TO work at for
any number of years. One breast of
the vein has been worked up to a
height of ss feet, and there's no tell
ing how much deeper it goes. Most

REBuKEp BY JACKSON.
How the Southern General Taught One

How the Southern General Taught One
of His Colonies % Valuable Lesson.
An old soldier at the Capitol told this
story of Stonewall jackson:
1t was during his valley campaign, and
battle was expected within a day or
two. though Jackson's plans were so
carefully guarded that not even his
Adjutanteould guess them intelligently.
This self-reliance was characteristic of
jackson, and his aversion to telling his
plans was well known among his officers
and men. In fact, it was his policy to
surprise his own men no less than to
surprise the enemy.
General jackson was one of the group
of officers, and another OF the group was
a Georgia Colonel who is still living.
Conversation was dragging. Jackson
was thoughtful and had little to say,
and the effect was dampening. Finally,
just to revive the conversation, the
Georgia Colonel asked abruptly:
General, will we have a fight to-
morrow"
Every body knew in an instant that
the blunder was irreparable, and nobody
realized this more than the Colonel.
jackson turned quickly and stared
full in the speakers face. Then he
slowly surveyed the Colonel from head
to foot, and back again.
The silence was painful
Colonel" said the General slowly,
but not in an unkind tone, ''can you keep
a secret?"

barrassed, assurance. ~ know / can,

The Colonels face flushed crimson, and
there was deathly silence for half a
minute or more.

lesson. II we do have a fight tomorrow,

How to Find the Dates Of New Moons In
ANY Year Of This Century.
The Golden Number is the place OF a
given year in the lunar cycle, which is
10 years; that is, every 10 years the new
moons come around on the same dates.
To find the Golden Number: Add to
the date, and divide the same by 10; the
remainder is the Golden Number for
that year. When there is no remainder
the year is the last of the lunar cycle,
and of course its Golden Number is 10.
Example: To find the Golden Num-
Der for 1890: Add /, and we have 1891;
divide by 10, and the remainder is TO-
Hence 10 is the Golden Number for
1890.
To use the table: Find the Golden
Number for the given year; then when
ever it occurs in the table it gives the
date of a new moon. The first column
is the days of the month. Each OF the

The question of the administration OF
alcohol in our hospitals continues TO en-
gage attention. The success of the
London Temperance Hospital, which for
sixteen years has carried on its work
successfully without having once pre-
scribed alcohol in any form or for any
purpose, has arrested the attention of
those conducting our hospitals as well
as that of those who literally support
them; and it is seen that the faith in
alcohol as an essential in the mitiga-
ton or cure of disease is becoming a
rapidly vanishing quantity. Even med
ical men are not so enthusiastic in its
favor as they once were. Alcohol is as
much mocler in disease as it is in
social life. The physician who deems
it essential should just be held as being

cred too much of aquack to be entrusted
