sire and intention of the company to deal
absolutely fairly with all localities and he
would see to it tha full Justice was done

The question of freight rates to New
Mexico points was discussed at length
and it was pointed out that sugar from the
Pacific coast was laid down in st. Louis
at 65 cents per hundred whereas it cost 81
to ship it into New Mexico, about half the
distance. The secretary was directed to

The president was authorized to ap-
point one delegate from the board to the
trans Mississippi congress at Omaha.

The ID, g. II. G. President.


Z. 7. Jeffrey, the new president of the
D. & r. G., has been chatting with the
Chicago ln.er-Ocean. Among other
things he said
"I wish you would say for me that all
the stories about the Denver & Rio
Grande road and the Santa Fe road and
other lines are absolutely without founda-
ton. The Denver & Rio Grande road
will be operated as an independent road,
Just as independent as it has been since
the first rail was laid, and perhaps even
more so. 1t will be operated wholly for
the benefit of the public and the stock
holders. My headquarters, by the way,
will be at Denver, and l will be there
much of the time, or when not going over
the line Of the road.
"No changes will be made. If any are
found necessary at any time they will be
as few as possible. My policy is that all
the company's old and tried officers
should be retained. 1t is due to the Off
cials who have worked so efficiently for
the line. And if any change is made
will make it with much reluctance. The
line is at present in excellent physical
condition and splendidly equipped for
business, which promises we'll. I am
happy to say that have already received
the cordial encouragement OF Denver's
business men and press. 1t is extremely
gratifying to find oneself the subject
Of 30 much encouragement. The line
is now half standard and half narrow
gauge, and 1 can't say whether the entire
line will be made standard or not. No
extensions of any kind are talked of at
present."

test was made here yesterday of the new
process used by the Pittsburg Short
Method Smelling & Refining company for
the reduction of refractory gold and silver

much for the mining interests of the

result of operations shows that such as
have been considered of little value under
former processes can be reduced at a
handsome profit,

CALLS FOR AN EXPLANATION.

A Railroad Inquiry Concerning the Pro-
posed Extension of the Narrow
Gauge. -
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1891-09-11

English tourists in Norway are re-
ported to be not a little perplexed by the
eccentricities Of Norwegian time. At
home they are accustomed to uniform
time, calculated for the meridian of
Greenwich; but in Norway every town
adopts its own meridian, hence tourists
watches are perpetually appearing to be
wrong. The telegraph offices and the
railways that happen to be in connection
with Christiania regulate themselves, it
is true, by Christiania mean time, but
this only increases the confusion, for all
the other railways, together with the
steamers, start punctually by local time.
To add still further to his bewilderment,
no sooner does the traveller cross the
frontier than the Swedish railway time,
which is eighteen minutes different from
Christiania time, comes into use.
In Bergen unfortunate strangers who
have set their watches by the town or
postoffice clock are constantly rushing to
the telegraph Office only to find that it is
closed In accordance with Christiania
time. The unlucky British tourist who
spends SO much of his time and money
in Norway in these days might fairly
ask for little more consideration. The
Norwegians themselves are asking for
uniform time according to the meridian
of Christiania.-New York Recorder.

Often in the furthermost end of an
aisle or transcept, recessed into the wall,
or but slightly standing out of it, brack-
ct fashion, may be seen the small piscina
that was used in old times when there
was an altar there. Besides these, only
much more rarely, piscina upon the
ground may be seen. This is a small
hole upon the floor at the east end of the
church, south of the altar. II there were

A Live Package In the Dead Letter ONCE.

A Live Package In the Dead Letter Ofice.
Is it to be expected that an ordinary
clerk, without special remuneration,
shall expose himself to the dangers Incl
dent to the opening of the multitudinous
ana mysterious packages that are left as
metaphorical foundlings upon the fgura-
tive doorstep of the postmaster general?
Lest these perils be deemed imaginary, it
may be appropriate to refer to seventeen
snakes that arrived together ON one oc-
casion in parcel of the sort described,
although they were all very much alive,
especially rather, eight feet in length
and one of the biggest ever captured,
that ratified its nine rattles and showed
its fangs to the unaffected dismay of the
young gentleman who undid the bundle.
So great was his embarrassment that
he failed at the moment to keep accu-
rate count of the reptilian consignment,
and three weeks later the entire office
was set in stir by the unexpected ap-
pearance from beneath his desk of a
three foot adder speckled in yellow and
black. Owing to the fact that adders of
other than the arithmetical variety are
discouraged in government offices, this
particular serpent Is now enjoying q
perennial spree in bottle of alcohol on
a shelf in the postofice department.

Origin of an Old Fad.

A practice was common about fifty
years ago of rubbing the eye In a peculiar
way from the outer to the inner corner,
the result being, as was supposed, to
strengthen the sight. The practice orig
mated with President John Quincy
Adams, who had what is called "a
weeping eye" disease having caused the
closing of some of the ducts, so that he
was forced to wipe away the overfowing
moisture about once in every five min
utes. He always wiped his eye from the
outer to the inner corner, and some one
noticing this peculiar action, and know
ing also that, although he had passed his
eightieth year, he never used spectacles,
connected the two facts and started the
theory that rubbing the eye in the way
indicated prevented the changes insep-
arabic from advancing years. For time
all the old people in the country spent
half their time rubbing their eyes, but
the fad soon died out, and is now scarce
ly remembered, save by some old man
who saw people practicing it when he
was boy. Interview in st. Louis

The Atmosphere and M.In.prtnr..

"Your handspring is broke" was the
positive declaration of jeweler to a
young man as he entered and walked up
to the counter, meanwhile probing for
his watch. The young man hadn't said
word. "How did you guess it," he
asked, when he recovered from his
amazement. @Didn't guess it; l knew
it, was the jewel..s reply. "That is,
could almost have sworn to it when l saw
you feeling for your watch. I guessed
then that something was the matter with
that article, and, having guessed that, I
was ready to bet $95 to 81 that it was the
handspring that was broken. And I'll
tell you why: There's a certain time of
the year-and this happens to be it this
year-when, if l have two or three per-
sons come to me with broken main.
springs, ! can make up my mind that
I'll have 20 or 80 more of the same kind
of customers within very short time.
Now its just week and day ago that
man came to have job of this kind
done, and up to to-day I've had no less
than 20 mainsprings to put in. They
break voluntarily; atmospheric condi-
tion has something to do with it. Now,
I'LL put new spring in your watch which
guarantee for year. 1t may last two
OF three years, and, again. it may not
last two days, one day, or an hour. You
can't tell they're liable to break any
time, no matter of how good quality
they are. I've had new springs break
right after have put them in. Buffalo

HIGH ooLons IN HOUSE PAINTING.

still Used, but Quieter Colors Are Rec
gariacd with Increastng Favor.
Every now and then, says q resident
of a suburban village, "a red wave strikes
US and half the houses are painted red.
With trimmings of darker shade of the
same color or of dark green, and with
red or green blinds, red house looks
well and the color is durable, but sooner
or later people tire of it, and then may
come yellow or a gray wave. A house
painted yellow of the right shade and
with white trimmings presents pleasing
appearance. just now there are many
houses so painted. Various shades of
brown are always regarded with favor,
and besides these standard colors others
that are more conspicuous are used. A
modern suburban Wage may present
great variety of colors.
Some houses that are shingled all over
are left in the natural color Of the wood
to acquire that shade of gray which
comes only from age and exposure; there
are a few houses which are finished out
side with tongued and grooved Georgia
pine put on horizontally; the smooth, fiat
surface is left of the natural color. A
few men have lately painted their houses
white with green blinds. At the present
moment the rising wa,e is gray. 1t APP
pears in various shades, and with a
variety of trimmings. The lighter shades
OF gray, with white trimmings and green
blinds not too dark, produce very agree
able effects.
Houses which at distance look like
sections of rainbows may still be seen.
but these riotous e. Stibitions of color are
decreasing in number, and the general
tendency is toward greater simplicity.
Some men when they paint house know
what they want; some experiment with
two or three colors or shades on one end
OF the house, and select the one that best
pleases them; some drive about in their
own and in neighboring villages until
they discover house that suits them,
and then call in the painter and say they
want their house to be like that.
Possibly you think that some OF your
neighbors have made rather queer selec-
tions of colors, and it may be that they
regard your own choice as odd; but
there is no doubt that every man thinks
uis own colors are the best.
