WISHED TO BE POLITE.


She was a sumner, and as she swung
into the weu-dlled bridge car every
man in the car felt in duty bound to
keep his seat in order to have a bet
ter view Of her exceedingly attractive
face, says an exchange.
She moved on through the car until
she reached the center, then she paused
and glided gracefully into the space
occupied by the sliding doors in the
side, and, leaning her splendid self
languidly against the glass, gazed in
a dreamy, far-away fashion at the
grayish-blue river, with its ever-chang-
ing panorama OF moving vessels, with
their putting smokestacks and tapping
sails.
The car had begun to travel on its
way to New York, when a small man,
who looked as though he might have
been a very much married man and a
much more henpecked husband, and
who occupied the end seat near whore

door so gracefully, noticed the inter

Death Amid Flames.

Sad, sad is the news that reaches us of
the burning Of the house of John B.
Ritch, near kibbey, and his two infant
children. The deaths occurred on Sat
urday afternoon last while Mr.. Ritch
was absent, and is reported as follows:
Mrs. Ritch with the older child, a boy
four years old, was digging potatoes
away from sight of the house where the
babe lay sleeping. The boy complained
of being cold and was sent alone to the
house where was a fire. 1t is supposed
he played with the fire for when the first
alarm was given the mother found that
the house inside was all a blaze and her
two children were burned to death. The
funeral took place Sunday at the home
of H. W. Hutchinson, father Of Mrs.
Ritch. Hosts of friends join in the deep
affiictiOn.

Cards in History.

One Of our readers has asked us to
state the origin of cards and of the game
called "whist."
Cards are as old as England. Traditi-
ton claims that the illustriOus King
Arthur of Brittany, (since called England)
as early as the sixth century was a card
player. Edward l., king of England in
1890 was a heavy gambler at cards. 1t
was the sport of kings through the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries to stake
money on the turning of a card. In that
day cards were handpainted, the work of
women artists, and contained, instead
of the present symbols, a leaf, an corn, a
heart and a crown. 1t is not known
when the cards of to-day began to be
used. There are over 800 games to be
played at cards.
Whist is so called because the game is
to be played in silence. 1t is, with
slight modification, the same as the
game of trump, which began to be
played in England about 800 years ago.
sTrump" is a contraction of the word
"triumph." Properly the game of
Whist may be said to be at least 500
years old.

Nhy the Sky Is Blue.

The explanation Of the blue of the
"vaulted canopy above us" is not to be
sought in the fact that the air, or its
constituent particles, reflect the readily
refrangible rays of short waved length
aud let the less refrangible long waved
rays through. The short waves of light
the blue color-are much more strong
ly reflected than the long waved red
ones. Lord Raleigh has proven the blue
reflected in the light from the sky to be
four-fifths times stronger than the vel
low color and ~six-sevenths times strong
er than the red. The violet is six
eighths times stronger than the yellow,
or about nine-tenths times more intense
than the long waves of red light.
These relations of intensity must
therefore cause the reflected light tt
appear to be mostly blue. The blue Of
the sky is also connected with the phe
nomenon known as the polarization Of
light, that color in the colored waves al
ways being polarized in the same direc'
ton, which is quite Independent of the
nature of the turbid particles of the at
mosphere. AS long as present condi
tions exist the sky will be of blue colors
of varying intensity.-St. Louis Re

Living waxworks have long been

She affects a stony gaze, but that
most beautiful and mobile thing. the
human eye, can never initiate the
dullness of wax. Her eyes move in

Forms of Silver.

Silver and its ores appears in this
camp in a multitude of forms, the de-
scription and tabulation of which is such
a work as only a geologist and chemist
is able to undertake.. Yet once in a
table, any one with an English education
and a standard dictionary can be able to
learn a good many points in practical
geology chemistry and minerology. Prof.
Morrison has classified twenty of these
forms, %appending four others unclassi-
fed, and as the table will doubtless be

THE QUEEN MILL.
An Interview With Mr.. Conrad in Which
He Makes Some Interesting
Statements.

On Tuesday last VIM. G. Conrad came
here for the purpose of further %investi-
eating the workings of the Queen of the
Hills mine of which he is the largest
owner, and also to perfect arrangements
in reference to putting in a mill at this
place. He is very much pleased with
the mine as far as development work
has progressed, and predicts that Mel
hart will surely be a large and wonder
full mining camp. He has during his
visit, which lasted until Tuesday, re-
quested from the city council the guar
antee that the mill will be exempt from
taxation for a period of twenty years.
and also privilege to dump the tailings
of the mill into Belt creek. He sent a
car load of ore to Park City as a test to
be tried by the milling process at that
place. The trial was & grand success.
One stamp alone reducing three tons in
II day. This so encouraged the mill
men that they Immediately started for
Neihart to give the mine producing such
ore a special examination which proved
to be perfectly satisfactory. On leaving
NeiI,art the milling men assured Mr..
Conrad of their perfect satisfaction with
the mine, but stated that nothing would
definitely done until after election.
When asked if he considered that the
mill will surely be built, Mr.. Conrad re-
piled that he thought it was a sure thing.
Yet certain matters had to be arranged
before coming at a final decision, and
assured us that if the present company
did not put one in that he would find a
company that would. He is determined
that a mill will go in and will put forth
every effort with that end in view.
The mill under consideration will re-
duce 100 tons of ore daily and will con-
sist of 40 stamps. If everything is salts
factory when that mill gets to running
Mr.. Conrad says they will put in as
many more stamps as is required to re-
duce the ores of the camp. If the pres
ent milling company fully conclude to
put the mill in they will make the sur
vey about the latter part of next month
and commence shipping the machinery.
1t is expected the mill will be running
July 1st next.
This is the best news that has ever
been received in this camp for a long
time and its importance can not be fully
realized. Besides giving employment to
about 100 men in the mill it will be the
means of unlocking untold wealth, which
now lays in immense ore piles on the
of all our mines. Ore that will
not pay to ship away, but which with a
mill, can be reduced at a profit. This
money thus derived will give employ
ment to miners and hasten to make our
camp what she is destined to be, one of
the largest mining camps in the world.

The ''YeIlOw Day."

Sept. s., 1881, is well remembered
in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
and parts of New York and Pennsyl
vania as the yellow day" Canada
also took on some of the characters
tics noted in the states above men
toned, only that the yellow was of
a dull, greenish cast, which accounts
for the fact that the Canuckserefer
to it as the green day" In the
morning the sky had the appearance
of being clouded, but as the sun arose
it was plainly visible and OF the color
of furnished brass. About midday
the intense yellow was most appar-
ent-everything except leaves and
grass was of a well tinted dark vel
low color. The cause of the phenom-
enon has never been satisfactorily
explained. Philadelphia Press.

Pin Money from Raising Flowers.

u 0nOIty AAoHu hdASAhS oHC
1t is curious that when so many
women are asking what they can do
to earn money SO few think of be-
coming amateur gardeners. Violets,
pinks, chrysanthemums and many
other flowers are not difficult to raise,
and when carefully packed and sent
to a first class florist bring good
prices. It is said that a woman in
the south makes a good income fur
nishing real orange blossoms to a IA
nous florist, while five or six others
dress themselves on the dollars pro-
duced from the violets that grow with
so little care in the well preserved
violet pit. -EXchanoe.

HEREAFTER.

Canst picture, said a friend to me,
The Joy of what is yet to be?
Canst thou describe eternity?
Dost thou believe that when we take
That last long sleep a day shall break
The dreamless night? Shall we awake?
Tell me, with reason in thy rhyme,
Dost think there'll be no end of time
Nor end of bliss in that blest cline?
do not know, for sure, | said;
know not those whose light feet tread
lon shore: | know the dead are dead.
I've seen the summer birds take wing
When winter came, and in the spring
Come back again to soar and sing.
I've seen the red rose in the glen,
Hid meath the hoar frost, die, and then
In brighter moments bloom again.
I've seen the soul, freed from The y
That held it here, reach far away,
Take up it's harp and start TO play.
I've seen Il mother die, and she,
When came to her what. must to me.
Looked laughing toward eternity.
And | can see, while roses bloom
Where roses fade. through life's long gloom.
A CLEAN Of hope beyond the tomb.
But whatsoever the future be,
If there's Il life for you and me,
To last through all eternity,
'Twere well to keep this point in view
Do unto man yOur whole life through,

PROTECTION.

BLESSED is the nan WHO daily tries
To better his condition,
And does his best to keep his trade
From foreign competition.
Be it in iron, brass or tin,
1t should not be neglected,
AS home industry is a thing
Which ought to be protected.
Can it be right to p~atronizs
A nation that engages
To undersell another land
BY paying pauper wages?
And it will come to that at home
If there is no objection
Against it by the worklngman
Assisting for protection.
Protect your home and 1reside'
Protect a friendly neighbor.
But, above all, protect yourself,
Your country and its labor,
Or you will find when it's too late.
BY sad and sore reflection.
That you have made a grand mistake
BY giving up protection.
