The oemerI.t and ono sauaw.

A Presbyterian divine recently visited
this city only TO have a somewhat star
Ting experience. While neal the Union
station no thought it would be a fine
thing to shoot his kodak at a Ute squaw;
but when the squaw saw the kodak
pointed toward her she thought she was
being bewitched, and pulling a large
knife from under her dress she made a
desperate lunge for the dominic. He saw
what was coming. and dropped the kodak
in his fright and made very undignifed
dive for the other side Of the street. The
squaw captured the witch instrument,
and after demolishing it replaced her
knife with a satisfactory grunt and
marched triumphantly away.-Denver

Water which is hot of course cannot
freeze until it has parted with it's heat;
but water that has been boiled will,
other things being equal, freeze sooner
than water which has not been boiled.
A slight disturbance Of water disposes
it to freeze moro rapidly, and this is the
cause which accelerates the freezing Of
boiled water. The water that has been
boiled has lost the air naturally con-
tanned in it, which on exposure to the
atmosphere it begins again to attract
and absorb. During this process of alb
sorption n motion is necessarily pro-
duced among its particles, slight GER
tainly and imperceptible, yet probably
sufficient to accelerate its congelation.
In unboiled water this disturbance does
not exist; indeed water when kept per-
fectly still "a be reduced several de-
grees below the freezing point without

HOlsteins VS.. Jerseys.

Now that the butter-m making bust
ness has reached such proportions in
this State, the dairymen are studying
which are the best breeds for them t.
invest in SO as to get the largest pos
sible profit out of the investment
Jerseys and Holsteins
These two breeds have long been
rivals in the butter making business,
and both of them have their admir-
ers.
1t is settled fact that the Jersey
milk is richer than the Holstein, as it
contains larger per cent. of the
fats which make butter.
The Holsteins, OH the other hand,
give much larger quantity of milk,
and their milk contains more of the
material for making cheese than the
Jerseys.
A good Holstier COW however Will
beat Jersey COW both in milk and
butter, one pitted squarely against
the other, because where Jersey
will give 30 pounds Of milk a day and
per cent, of it butter, Holstein
will give IS pounds of milk and 3 per
cent of it butter.
1t will be seen therefore that the
Holstein will beat the Jersey on but
ter. The case cited is but an average
one. The thoroughbred Cothild at
Camden, New Jersey, produced 1O4l
pounds of butter in 80 days.
This record was well authenticated,
No Jersey ever produced such a
butter yield as this, or came within
90 pounds OF it.
IS also worth considering that
when the Jersey is ready to 90 to
the butchers block there is not much
to weigh, while lIolstiens are much
larger.
The farmer selling to creamery
at a given rate per hundred pounds
will make the most profit off Hol-
stein mix, but the creamery Will
d. better purchasing Jersey mix,
as it gets more butter per hund'ed
pounds of milk.

THE SILVER BRICK CASE.

About a year ago several Colorado
silver men conceived the idea Of test,
ing the constitutional. Of the Act Of
Con ;ress prohibiting tie coinage of
silver for private citizens at the
United States mints, They prepared
bar Of silver bullion Of the weight
and fneness required BY tile Old law
and presented it to tie Superintend-
ent of the Mint at Philadelphia for
coinage into dollars The Superin-
tendcnt of the Mint refused to coin
the bullion and the Secretary Of the
Treasury sustained his action. The
Colorado men then instituted pro
ceedin9s against the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Superintendent of
the Mint in the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia. That
Court denied the petitioners writ
of mandamus to command Charles
Foster, Secretary Of the Treasury,
to instruct the proper officer of the
mint to receive and coin the silver
bullion. The Government demurred
to the pitition on the ground that the
Judicial Department has no right to
impose on an executive officer the
Interpretation of a law and compel
such officer to apply the law accord
ing to such Interpretation. The
Court sustained that view of the case
and the Colorado men appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
An effort is now being made to get
decision from the highest Court
before Secretary Foster retires from
the Treasury Department, as a writ
of mandamus, if ordered by the Court
would not be binding ON his sue
cessor and the proceeding would have
to be commenced over again. The
case is to be submitted to the Su-
preme Court upon brief and ceu-
ment prepared by ex-AttorneY Gen
eral Garland and Congressman
.Tere Wilson, who hope to secure
decision early in February before
roster goes out OF office.
