Curious Women.

The Soudanese women are a curios-
ity. Even on their natural soil, they
seem almost to have stepped off the
stage Of theatre, so unusual and over
drawn are their costumes. The hair is
braided up into hundreds of little
plaits. small as to be mere strings.
These braids have been soaked in cas-
tor oil and rubbed with dust until in
places they are perfectly solid. In the
middle OF the forehead dangle short
strings of beads, holding a fancy gold
pendant, and in the nostrils a large
ring. Around the neck are strings OF
onyx beads. as well as long strings OF
polished pebbles and amber, inter-
spersed with gay beads. OF bracelets
there are several, of coarse, dark
horn, upon one arm; upon the other,
the massive silver-work peculiar to the
Soudan. They wear wrapped around
them black shawl, and their feet are
decorated with anklets.

SiIyerIng Iron.

A new process for silvering articles
of iron is thus described: The article
is first plunged in a pickle ofhot dilute
hydrochloric acid, whence it is re-
moved to a solution of nitrate, and con-
nected with the zinc pole of n Bunsen
element. gas carbon or platinum serv-
ing as the other pole. 1t is rapidly
covered with layer of quicksilver,
when it is removed, washed, and trans
ferred to silver bath and silvered.
by heating to 800 degrees c. (572 de-
grees Fah.) the mercury is driven of,
and the silver firmly fixed on the
iron. To save silver the wire
can be first covered with layer of tin.
One part of cream of tartar is dissolved
in eight parts of boiling water, and one
or more tin anodes are Joined with the
carbone pole of Bunsen element. The
zinc pole communicates with we'll
cleaned piece of copper, and the battery
is made TO act till enough tin has depos-
tied on the copper, when this is taken
out and the ironware put in it's place.
The wire thus covered with tin 6hemic-
ally pure, and silvered, is said TO be
much cheaper than any other silvered
metals.

of the Rough Days of 40.
The early miner has never been truly
painted. protest against the flippant
style and eccentric rhetoric of those
writer's who have made him a terror,
or who. seizlng upon a spasmodic case
of extreme oddly, some drunken,
brawling wretch, have given carl
cature to the world as the typical
miner. The so-called literature that
treats OF the golden era is too eXtrava-
CANT in this direction. In OIL my per-
sonal experience in mining camps from
1S49 TO 1854 there was not case OF
bloodshed, robbery, theft or actual
violence. / doubt il a more orderly
society was over known. How could
it be otherwise? The pioneers were
young, ardent uncorrupted, most of
them well educated and from the best
families in the East. The early miner
was ambitious, energetic and enterpris-
ing. No undertaking was too great to
daunt him. The pluck and resi- urces
exhibited by him in attempting mighty
projects with nothing but his courage
and his brawny arms to carry them
out was phenomenal. His generosity
was profuse and his sympathy active,
knowing no distinction of race. His
sentiment that justice is sacred was
never dulled His services were at
command to settle differences peace
ably, or with pistol in hand to right a
grievous wrong to stranger. His
capacity for self government never
has been surpassed. OF glorious
epoch. he was of a glorious race. -

1T IS becoming quite the popular
thing to commit suicide. Probably
the increase in the number of deaths
that are brought about in this fashion
able manner is simply the result of
cause and effect. Men are living their
lives more intensely than did their
grandfathers. In those good old days
men went along on an easy, agreeable
'jog-trot," but to-day they assume the
pace that kills and rush pell-mell into
an untimely maturity. They see all
of life at an early age and are old

A THEORY is current among some
philosophers that person can gradu-
ally grow to look like his or her most
intimate companions. Thus husbands
and wives often grow to resemble each
other. girls not related TO each other
after years of intimate association by
dressing alike and thinking alike have
been known to grow to look alike.
Hunters and stockmen who have made
companions of their dogs or stock have
gradually grown to look like them. To
associate with the beautiful and employ
the mind with thoughts that are eleva-
ting are other means of changing feat
ures that may have been warped by
assembling nature.

THERE is q general impression pre-
valent that all gold is alike when re-
fined. but such is by no means the
case. An experienced man can tell at
a glance from what part of the world
a gold piece comes, and in some cases
from what part OF particular gold
district the metal was obtained. The
Australian gold, for instance, is dis
tinctly redder than the Californian,
and this difference in color is always
perceptible, even when the gold is
1000 fine. Again the gold obtained
from the placers is yellower than that
which is taken directly from quartz.

over an hour before another body was
found. The two injured men were then
gotten out. Semple was wedged be-
tween two upright timbers; that saved
his life. The bodies of LucIus and an
unknown man. evidently one of those
who took shelter in the Inflated build
ing, were found in the wreck of room
on the ground floor. Both bodies were
fattened out of all resemblance to hui
manity. While the work of rescue had
been gong on. rain and lightning and
high wind had set in, and the violence
of the storm became terrific, forcing
the men to leave work, which has not
been resumed. 1t is probable that all
the bodies will be recovered before
morning. Contractor Goss insists that
no more remain, but that is hardly
probable. Five of the number escaped
almost miraculOusly with slight Injuries.

ed for hotel, with eighty rooms, and
much feeling is manifested against Con-
tractor Gross and Proprietor Bedockeron
account of the evident unsafety of the

knowledge of its condition. In addition

counted for, and are believed to have
