Bonded for Twenty-Four Thousand.
Martin Curran, superintendent of the
Morning mine, has bonded the Paymaster
from its owners, George Craddock, George
Woolevine and others, for $4,000. The
of the bonding price was paid in cash. This
Nullan Tribune says the Paymastsr is one
OF the most promising of the undevelopsd
mines existing around the great Morning
and Lucrstia mines. Whether Mr.. Curran
is alone in the bond or not has not been
learned, but certain it is that he has good
backing. The Gold Hunter people were
also after the Paymastcr but were not will
ing to pay the price asked for il. Several
thousand dollars have already been ex-
pended on the property by the original To-
Gators.

Nicaragua Canal Project $40 fcarS oi'

Nicaragua Canal Project $40 Years Old.
A Mexican gentleman gave n bit OF
curious history with regard to the pro
posed Nicaragua canal. lie said that
in the early days Of the Spanish occu-
milton there was talk of II canal across
the isth,nus, and n Spanish explorer
named Gomara, in 1851, indicated the
Nicaragua route as tile most feasible
between the two seas. The Spanish
government did not at the time give
the matter attention, but in 1881, de-
string quicker communication between
the ean sent out an officer named
Gaiistco to make a survey of three diff
fercnt routes, and among them that
through Nicaragua.
He also reported in favor of the lat
ter, but Spain could not raise the funds
for construction. In 1888 the route
was again surveyed, this time by an
Englislnman named Bailey, who was
employed by the state of Nicaragua,
and again III 1851 by Colonel Childs
for o company which proposed to I'M
dertake the canal. Nothing came of it,
but in 1873 an officer of the United
States navy made the surveys whici,
resulted in the choice of the route by
the company which is now engaged ON

Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of ammonia in the manufac.
lures has greatly increased of late. and
it is unquestionably used as an adul-
terant in certain food preparations.
Official analyses have plainly showed
it's use even in such cheap articles of
every day consumption as baking pow
ders. The continued asorptiono of am
monia in oven minute quantities as an
adulterant in food is injurious not
merely from it's effect upon the COM
plexion, but because it destroys the
coating of the stomach and causes dys-
pepsia and kindred evils.

thority for the statement that if to fifty
million parts of water there is one part

him by private courier II few hours
before it came to the knowledge of the

his porter, to whom he communicated

lie bought up all the lamps he could
find in St. Petersburg, sc that in the
evening, when the whole city was max

Ancient Chimney and Fireplace.

The first chimney was built in Il house
in the Fourteenth century. 1t was the
fireplace of today, with scarcely a varia-
ton. In some cases the halls and
lodges of the great lords wcro provided
with a banqueting room in which one
whole end of the apartment was taken
up by the chimney. This was largely
for the purpose of cooking, and a whole
OK was often roasted in sight of the
table on which it vas later served. Dis
tant portions of the room were cold,
but, as the people were warriors and
r%ouShened in fiber by constant expos
urc, they were supposed to get along
with an occasional turn in the warm
end of the room while the feast was
preparing.
But if a pilgrim, a palmer, a man
WHO had been to the Holy Land, should
come along, he was a favored guest
and was allowed to sit in the place OF
honor at the side of the great fireplace
and to regale himself on the choicest
of the viands and the best of wine, re-
paying the host for the entertainment
later by singing or chanting an account
Of his experiences in the land VI the
Saracens.-Chicago Herald.

For those who use their brains the

phorous than any other known fruit

admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter Of the brain

pie are also of signal use for those per-

When eating meats richly cooked one
should accompany such dishes with
plenty of apple sauce, rs it will neu

Conversation in France.

Relish for conversation has always
been shown among the Greeks and the
Frencli-that is to say, among the races
which have produced the most refined
society. Aristotle, when writing on
morals, found it necessary to de-
scribe yer the voice and speech
of his ideal ''high minded man."
1t is indeed almost droll to read
how far the Greeks in their best
age carried it. They appear to have
expected a doctor first to persuade and
then to prescribe for the patient. Nay,
we are told of one most persuasive rhe-
torician who was taken round by the
physicians to persuade the patients to
adopt the prescriptions.
AS to France, if Nine. de Stacl is to
be believed, conversation exists only
there. De Quincy, who is one Of the
few who have written upon c
ton, says truly enough that the French,
by temperament and qualities of their
language. are prompted to rapid and vi
vacious exchanges of thought. Mon
taigne, the most gossiping of French.
men, confesses to his love Of the socie-
ty of ''sincere and able men," 1.-THE

(Montaigne) has large experience in this
matter. Montaigne must have had n
pleasant time, for if he were put to it
he would, as he tells us, sooner lose his
sight than his hearing and speech. The
study of books he holds a 'languislling
and feeble motion that heats not,
whereas conversation teaches and ex-
ercises at once"
Who. too, that has read Mr.. John
Morley's brilliant sketch of the social
life of Didcrot and the Encyclopedias
doubts the high place that conversation
held in France in the last c%entury2

4 fire of Il strange nature appeared
in Wales in 1903. According to the
most ineligible account concerning it
in existence, it came up from the
sea near IIarlech. At several places
near that place and all over Merioneth-
shire it did much damage, burning hay,
houses, barns, etc. A person writing
OF it said: The grass over which it
moves kills all M of cattle that
feed upon it. But what is most re-
markable is that any great noise, such
as the beating of a drum Or sounding a
horn, etfcctually repels it from any
llouse."-St. Louis Republic.

PRINCE AND PRINCESS MURAT.

Story of the Royal Couple Whose Bodies
Arc Buried in Florida.
In the well kept little cemetery in
the quiet little city Of Tallahassee, the
capital of Florida, side by side beneath
the shade of the trees, rests all that was
mortal of n once well known prince of
royal blood and his American bride,
their graves turfed over and marked
by plain marble shafts. One of these
stones bears the following inscription:
departed this life April IS, 1917,
Charles Louis Napoleon Achille Murat,
son of the king of Naples and Caroline
Murat, aged forty-sevcn. This monu-
ment is dedicated by his wife Catherine
in perpetual memory OF her love"
Upon the other shaft is cut these
words.
Sacred to the memory of Princess
c. A. Murat, widow of Colonel Charles
Louis Napoleon Achille Murat and
daughter of the late Colonel Bird G..
Willis, of Virginia. She departed this
life on the 9th day of August. 1867, in
the siSty-fourth year of her age. A
kind and afTcctionate wife and sister.
A sincere and devoted friend. None
knew her but to love her. None named
her but to praise. This monument is
erected to her memory by her bereaved
brother and sisters"
The Prince and Princess Murat re-
sided upon their plantation in Jctfer-
on county, cast Of Tallahassee, and
owned numerous slaves. They lived
in grand style, and pictures of their
royal robes and magnificent jewels are
yet fresh in the memories of old resi-.
dents.

Simple Questions That puzz1e.

An exceedingly wise man has some
times been caught by a very simple
question of this sort. The following
for examples:
How many days would it take to cut
up a piece of cloth fifty yards long, one
yard being cut of every day?
Or this:
a snail climbing up a post twenty
feet high ascends five feet every day
and slips down four feet every night.
How long will it take the snail to reach
the top of the post2
These are simple questions in arith-
metic, and yet how many persons
would answer fifty days, instead of forty
nine to the first one and twenty instead
of sixteen to the last one. 1t is perhaps
scarcely necessary to point out that the
snail would gain one foot a day for fif-
teen days, and on the sixteenth day
reach the top of the pole, and there, Of
course, remain. New York Tribune.

Tho majority of the very rich men
live in comparative simplicity. ! was
chatting with one the other day-a
man whose estate, to use the colo.
quialisln of the bank, would probably
''cut up not less than ST, 00O, 600, and
he asserted hat almost all of the busy
men who had accumulated enormous
fortunes were so exhausted by the ef-
fort which was required to get pos
session of SO great an amount that in
their private life they courted nothing
but rcpose.
The strain of social entertainment on
a large scale is very great, and there are
few men who r equal to it unless
they give up entirely their business re-
lations. 1t is 4 marvel to many bust
ness men how Cornelius Vanderbilt, for
instance, a attend as steadily and
faithfully as he does to the business of
the New York Central railway system,
and to the very great demands made
upon him to secure a satisfactory rein
vestment of his income, and yet devote
so much time as he does to social enter
tainment.
The only explanation which occurs to
busy men is that Mr.. Vanderbilt is still
young, and that he finds some recrea-
ton in giving elaborate dinners and in
dancing until the small hours of the
morning. He will not continue this,
however, very long. AS the years
weigh upon him and the care of his
enormous estate increases he will be
compelled either to abandon active
daily business OF to give up his social
recreation New York Cor. Philadel-
