FAMOUS GOLD MINES.

A mine to be good company
mine" should be a large one scale. In
order to pay dividends on shares num-
boring from 100, 900, to 100000, the
profits have to be considerable as the
dividend per share becomes insignif-
cant and disappointing. 1t is seldom
for instance that tho California corpO-
rations, operating mines mainly in
Nevada, offer their shareholders less
than 25c dividends, which on the
usual capitalization of SIC, 200, 600 in
10000 shares would mean the very
respectable sum of $25,OG0. One such
dividend year would be creditable

To remove mildew stains, soak in

To stone raisins, throw them into a
bowl of boiling water. AS soon as
they are cool enough to handle, stem
them in the water and throw them

Cistern water, that has become oily

To keep glassware bright, wipe di-

used for milk should be thoroughly
rinsed in cold water before being i'm
mersed in hot suds, as hot water seems
to drive the milk into the glass and
give them dingy appearance.

Fruit stains of long standing on
white goods, or fresh stains that refuse
TO yield to ordinary treatment, may be
removed by dipping into very weak
solution of chloride of lime, and

Use soap bark for cleansing wooden

over night in pail of warm-not hot

add two-thirds of it to the water in
which the goods are to be washed,
and, if very much soiled, teaspoon
full of ammonia, also. Pour the rest
of the water in which the soap bark
was soaked, into the rinsing water,
wiring well and hang out-of-doors
where they will dry rapidly. When
nearly dry, iron on the wrong side.

Oliver, a little surprised. What do
you want for it?" "A dollar, SIR" said
the farmer. .All right, said Walton,

OF his money in his pocket, then step

MAKING GLOBES.
Description Of How Geographical
Spheres Are Constructed.


The first process Is to cover the
model with q thick layer of pasteboard
In a moist state. When it Is dry a
sharp knife Is passed around IL 20 as
to separate the pasteboard coat into
two hemispherical shells. which are
then taken of the model and united al
the cut edges with glue. The hollow
sphere thus formed is the skeleton o
the globe that Is to De.
The next thing is to cover 1t with
coating Of white enamel about one
eighth Of an inch in thickness. Whei
this Is done the ball Is turned into /,
perfect ropndness with q machine.
The iron rod running through the con-
tire OF the original model and project
ing at both ends through the surface
has left holes in the new globe, which
serve for the north and south poles
and through these metal axis Is
run to represent tho axis of the earth.
Then the surface is marked of with
pencil lines into mathematical seq
ments corresponding precisely in shape
with the sections OF map that are to be
pasted on. These map sections are
made from copper plates in just the
sizes and shapes required 10 fit the
globe they are made for, one set, of
course, covering the entire surface of
sphere. They are printed. many Of
them. like dress patterns, on sheets OF
the finest linen paper. and are cut out
carefully with sharp-pointed knife.
Whom they have been pasted on. the
different countries are tinted by hand
with water colors. There is no special
rule for this. except that contrasts are
sought to help the eye. Finally the
whole Is overlaid with brilliant white
varnish. which Is Of almost metallic
hardness. and it will wear indefinitely
without scratching and without losing
Its brightness. Boston Transcript

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy real
ly cures Catarrh, whether
the disease be recent or of
long standing, because the
makers of it clinch their
faith in it with a $500 guar
antee, which isn't a mere
newspaper guarantee, but
"on call in a moment.
That moment is when you
prove that it's makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's Remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety-nine out of one
hundred cases Of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Assoc
citation can afford to take
the risk of your being the
one hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk ?
If so, the rest IS easy.
You pay your druggist so
cents and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the
$500 you'll get something
better-G cure !
