Quarrying Salt in Kansas.

Nearly 500 feet below the rolling prai-
res on which Lyons, Kan, stands we
are quarrylng rock salt. The supply is
simply inexhaustible, as drills have pen
etrated it to the depth of 800 to 400 feet
The salt is almost pure, the foreign ele.
ments not being more than s Per cent. of
any given bulk or quantity. We mine
the salt outright, while at Hutchinson
they get it out by pumping fresh water
on to the bed rock, pump out the salt
water and then evaporate it. Our method
Is cheaper and more satisfactory?-Inter

Your memory is as short as your
form is lanky," sarcastically remarked a
perky little barrister to tail Yorkshire
man, who was rather slow to remember
particular date.
''And the extreme length OF your

yourself, perhaps, compensates for your
legal insignifcance, was the retort of
the witness, taking instant vengeance

The BIarnev Stone

The village of Blarney is in the south
of Ireland, about four miles from Cork.
Blarney castle was built by Cormack
MacCarthy, the Strong, fourth lord of
Muskerry about the middle of the
Fifteenth century The ruins of the
famous old fortress are visited by thou
sands OF tourists every year This is
largely on account of tradition which
has been attached for some centuries to
one OF the stones used in building the
castle. This stone is said to communi-
cate to the tongue that touches it the
GIT OF gentle, insinuating speech, and
that has given rise to the accusation
when any one is of particularly sweet
accent that he or she has kissed the
Blarney stone. Detroit Free Press.

A clever adaptation Of electricity is
found in the magnetic button fastener.
The difficulty in the common machines
has been the absence of plan sufficient

a contemporary which f.vors free
coinage Of silver informs its readers
that free coinage will instantly stop
all purchases Of silver, and that instead
OF the Government buving the white
metal ~ IL does Rt present, 1t would
simply receive Il from owners and coin
1t into standard dollars, just as IL now

without making n profit ON the same. "
Our contemporary has stated the order
OF things correctly. but has not followed
this order 10 legitimate consequence.
There are now In the country about
S7Oo,oo0.cp in gold. and n little less
than s.JJO.GJI.UrO in silver. When the
min,s are open to the free coinage of
silver, the silver dollar being full legal
tender, as at present, the cheaper of the
two kinds of money will become the
dollar OF trade. Gold viii! only be paid
IN cases where n contract calls for gold.
The gold value Of u silver dollar ia now
about so cents; the gold value OF the
gold dollar Just 100 cents. Now. no one
will pay out u lO0.cent dollar when an
so cent dollar will answer the purpose
just MS we'll. The silver dollar will.
therefore, come into general use. and
people who must pay IN gold will have
to buy 1t. Gold, therefore. is certain to

silver, now worth about l03 cents. be.
comes worth l2J cents. Commodities
will adapt themselves to the less valu.
able currency. There will be rise in
prices about equal TO the difference be-
tween gold and silver, but the unfor-
tunate debtor who has contracted to
pay in gold will be forced TO pay the
premium. 1'hg alternative policy to
free coinage is the continued purchas.
of silver until it reaches parity with
gold. Then there will be no disturb

age, and no pinching of debtors through
the use of one kind of dollar for ordin-
airy purposes, and another kind in pay

Carpenters.


Carpenter.
aboriginal carpentry" says II. L.
Mcleod, of tic Smithsonian Institute,
was the chief trade of our predecessors
on this continent. The Indians and the
mound builders had very good idea of
wood working. You will see even now
some very pretty joining done by Sioux
Indians. Their tent poles make fit
which many n white carpenter would
not like to try to do better.
"Thc best carpenters, of course, were
the Aztecs. who had arrived at quite n
high stage of art, and whose tools, al
though they knew nothing of steel, are
really excellent. We have few OF their
tools at the Smithsonian, but the best
collection Is, OF course, in the City Of
Mexico. The material used wus almost
wholly glass, especially for the finer
parts of their wood cutting To chop
trees they used Clint axes, and for rough
hcwinr out Of logs the same, hgt when
IL came to the accurate Citing IN Of the
hcwn timber, they handled glass knives,
chiscls and saws very deity and with
beautiful results. There Is n ccgba
wood post in Washington w'th hero
rlyphcs and faces cut upon II, all with
glass. You can sec bits of the original
chiscl still sticking in n corner of the
wood. where il broke off three ccnturic,
ngo under the hand OF the workman.
The Aztccs know how TO make n very
good and manageable glass, and their
best cutting blades, swords, daggcrs
and spears, saws, chisels and axes were
made of it. When the edge dullcd they
broke 1t from the end instead of sharpen
ing il, and got new cutting line.
"lou can sec n great deal of aboripi-
nal carpentry still in use among the
Moqui Indians of the United States OF
course they use our tools now. but
they follow out their old patterns.
They know how TO mal;c ladders, and
they swing their doors on hinges from
the top, and they know how 10 mortise
timbcrs, knew how long before Column
bus landed in America. OF course they
use our tools differently from our way.
The chiscl they push rather than ham

results. The frame work in the Pucblos
