The News would like to know what
is the matter with the Mineral Di-
vision of the General Land Office?
This division is almost three years
behind with it's work, and yet some of
the new and most efficient clerks are
being transferred to other divisions
OF the office. What is this for? Did
they see too much? Would not a
change OF it's chief Potter be a good
thing? Why does he spend so much
time out of office borrowing money
and specializing in real estate with
his clerks, Barnes and Yonder?
How many old fossils are there in
this division who do noting but talk
and gossip around the building from
one weeks end to the other? What
right have clerks to take cases home
and do them in the evening, or to
get attorneys to assist them? Why
are cases taken out of their regular
order in this division? The News
would advise Secretary Noble to call
some of the clerks in the division and
ask them how things are managed
and why it is so far behind as three
years in it's work? He should also
ask how clerks can afford fine hors-
es, carriages, big houses, etc., on a
salary of only ST 200 and 1000
per year? He should be particular
to find out how many mineral claims
are railroaded through for money,
and what attorneys can get any
thing they ask for. This division
should be investigated at once

The Golden-Crested Wren.

This lovely little bird is so small and
light that it can cling suspended on
the end of a single narrow leaf, or
needle of pine, and it does not depress
the least branch on which it may
alight The gold crest frequents the
loneliest heath, the deepest pine wood
and the immediate neighborhood of
dwellings indifferently. A Scotch fir
or pine grew so near II house in which
| once lived that the boughs almost
brushed the window, and when con-
fined to my room by illness it gave me
much pleasure to watch pair of these
wrens who frequently visited the tree.
They are also fond of thick thorn
hedges and, like all birds, have their
favorite localities, SO that If you see
them once or twice in one place you
should mark the tree or bush, for they
are almost certain to return. 1t would
be quite possible for person to pass
several years in the country and never
see one of these birds. There is a
trick in finding birds nests and trick
in seeing birds. The first l noticed
was in an orchard: soon after | found

PRINCIPLES OF COLOR.
About Harmony and Contrast, Disoord
and Blen ding.


Color is something about which
most women would be better off il
they knew more. A recent writer
upon the topic says any two shades of
one color will always blend and be in
harmony. Any two or more colors
that will blend and not create a new
color are blending colors and are in
in harmony. Any two colors that
create a new color are in discord.
Contrasting colors are any two
colors set side by side that will steal
the hues from each other. Colors that
create new color at their joining,
look spotted and their surface movable
are in discord.
Colors in pure harmony are red and
green with tints and shades of red;
yellow and violet with tints and shades
of yellow; blue and orange with tints
and shades Of blue. Secondary har-
monies are green and russell with tints
and shades of red; violet and citrine
with tints and shades of yellow; orange
and olive with tints and shades of
blue. Neutral harmonies are russell
and grays with tints and shades of
blue; citrine and drabs with tints and
shades of yellow olive and browns
with tints and shades of red
Perfect discords are red violet and
orange; yellow, green and orange;
blue, green and violet. Secondary
discords are green. citrine and grays;
violet, orange and stone; orange, vio-
let and green. Kansas City journal.

A smoke and fumes annihilator is
now being manufactured in Leeds,
England, and is reported to have
worked satisfactorily under a variety
OF conditions. 1t consists OF an ex-
haust fan "a washing machine and
tank. The fan draws the smoke into
the tank where the water. beaten into
spray by paddle blades, washes out all
carbon and dust held in suspension, and
absoros the sulphur and other gases
soluable in water. leaving only a pure
white vapor to escape into the Chin
ney. The cost of the apparatus is not
great and it is calculated that the
residuum collected-which may be
used as a fertilizer or for electrical
and other purposes of higher grade
may be made to repay the expense.

turesqne and beautiful. 1t is where
the carriage road crosses n cut through
which the railway runs between nat
ural stone walls. The trains cannot
be seen by drivers because of the tall
rocks and great trees, until they are
just across the aperture.
Everyone is cautious here. Mrs.
Howard particularly so. She drove
so slowly down the hill that the man
she called tramp outwalked her.
The shrek OF the coming train was
a fearful one-a warning note desir-
able in a region where Ole residents
quietly drove their slow teams before
rushing express trains every day. and
where an accident to our esteemed
neighbor So-and-So" was one of the
regular items of the newspaper in con-
sequence.
But Mrs. Towards horse bethought
himself to be terribly alarmed at the
sound, and with a plunge and cry as
alarming in itself as that uttered by
the iron monster in the cut, the ami
NAL started off at full speed.
The man who watched him knew
that he would reach the track Just in
time to drag the wagon before the en-.
CINE. He saw the woman holding her
child fast and clinging to the light raif
which surrounded the seat.
They needed help and suddenly the
demon in his soul fled from it, The
angel OF pity took its place, and he
stood fit for Heaven. They needed
help, and he would give it-what help
he could. 1t might be of avail
Heaven grant it mayr' he prayed !;
and he sprang forward.
He was in time. He seized the mad
horses bride. He held it. feeling
most sorely that he had not his usual
strength.
Jump while you CAM" he shouted.
Il cannot hold the creature long!"
Mrs. Howard obeyed. Her foot was
light, her action swift or she had not
succeeded. AS it was, she tottered
and fell as she touched the ground,
and got to her feet giddy and faint
but holding her child's warm little
hand safe in hers.
But whore was the carriage, where
was the horse, where was the man who
had saved their lives-the man she
would reward with full heaped hands
as well as with thanks and blessings
the man she had turned hungry from
her door, and had paid her ilI-doing
with such a deed as this-where was
hep The whistle shrieked, the cars
backed slowed, stopped; passengers
alighted; her husband was there. His
arms were about her, his pale face
was covered with tears, as he sobbed, -
you are not hurt, darlingP 1t is
miracle!"
But still her eyes strained them
selves to see that shabby figure, dusty
and mud-stained, but such a hero to
her now-only to say to him
81 know you are not tramp. For
give me. Let me help you; let me pay
little OF my great debt to you"
She would never be happy in this
world unless this was given her. So
she stood, her head on her husbands
shoulder, waiting until he should come.
But the others gathered, slowly silent
ly, toward one spot. where up from
the cut come two men, bearing some
thing between them.
He is dead" they said. THE horse
threw him before the engine. "--Satur-

Twelve miles north OF Norwich
Conn. is one of the most wonderful
lily ponds in all America. 1t is lake
one mile in diameter, so closely grown
with lilies that during blossoming
time it is hard to get a glimpse of the
water. When the wind is strong and
the lilies are open the perfume OF
them is perceptible a quarter of a
mile from the brink of the pond. So
thick are the lilies and in such tangled
masses that it is almost impossible to
propel boat in the pond, and the
lily gatherers have to wade for them
in hip rubber boots. Not only are the
lilies extraordinarily plentiful. but the
blossoms are moro regal, perfect lus-
trous and OF deeper hue than in other
ponds

Two Warm Friends.

When General Hampton and the
late General Logan were in the senate
together they made picturesque and
interesting couple. They served on
the military committee together and
became fast friends. Never were two
men in the lighter characteristics
more wholly unlike. General Logan
was all of Roundhead except as to
piety, and General Hampton is the
nearest approach surviving to-day of
the accepted Cavalier. What drew
the two men together was the superb
personal courage and the unimpeach-
able integrity each possessed They
were much together, both in the com
mittee room and on the floor of the
senate. Visitors to the galleries of
the senate chamber indeed often saw
those two men sitting on sofa to-
gether on the floor of the chamber,
chatting like two brothers.

BURNED FOR LYING.
Inhuman Method OF Punishment Adopted
by n London Mother.

Recently. in one OF the London po-
charged with cruelty ill-treating her
son, aged seven. by placing a hot
poker in his mouth. A ledger in the
same house as the prisoner stated that
one afternoon the prisoner sent her
boy on an errand to bakers shop,
and that the child returned and said
that he had lost the money, pence.
Shortly afterward the prisoner went
out. and on her return she told witness
that she did not believe her sons
story, and that she had gone to see
the woman at the bakers shop. who
told her the best way of curing child
of'telling falsehoods was to burn its
tongue with hot curling irons. The
prisoner added that she had not the
irons, but she would use poker and
then went upstairs to her rooms.
Witness did not believe that prisoner
would do such thing but soon after
ward she heard the boy screaming.
and running upstairs to the prisoners
sitting room she saw q small poker in
the fire. The prisoner admitted that
she had used it the way she had threat
ened to do and witness. on examining
the child, found the tongue and the
side of his mouth were burned. She
was amazed at the cruel conduct of the
mother and communicated with the
police. The prisoner was taken into
custody soon afterward.
A doctor who had examined the
child said that the front of his tongue
was burned, though not very seriously,
and also the side of his mouth. The
prisoner, in defense, said that her son
had on two or three occasions. when
sent on errands stolen some of the
money and afterward told lies about it.
He had also told lies about other mat
tiers, and in consequence of the advice
given her by the woman at the baker,
shop, she determined to break him
once for all of the habit. The woman
told her that il she used pair of hot
curling irons or skewer it would cure
the boy of lying instantly, adding that
she must not make the instrument too
hot but hot enough to make the child
feel it. The woman said she had
known two or three children to be
cured in this way.

An elec.rolytic process OF manufac-
turing chlorate OF potash. yielding a
by-product of sufficient value TO paw
the whole cost OF working, has been
devised by NJ. Jobard OF Vincennes.
A solution of chloride of sodium (com-
mon salD is placed in cemented vat
and the electric current passed through
it. Metallic tin is deposited in a
crystalline state and free chlorine is
liberated, the latter being passed into
an ordinary chlorate of potash appa-
ratus. The loss OF metal does not ex-
coed 10 per cent, while tho yield OF
clorate OF potash is about % per cent
lower than that corresponding to the
theoretical weight OF the chlorine
A variety OF substances may be pre-
pared by this electrolytic method, and
other metals besides tin may be pre-
cipilated.
