Perhaps the most curious salvage case
on record is that of the ship Two Friends
which stranded ON the coast of Cuba and
was abandoned by her crew. Another
ship, the John Blake, met similar fate
and her crew, in attempting to find a
landing place, came across the Two
Friends, which they managed to get off

case decided that salvage services had

Quartz Mining In California.

So far as productiveness and extent OF
operations go, quartz or vein mining is the
leading branch of the business in Califor
mia, fully two-thirds of the gold product Of
the state being obtained from auriferous
ores This branch of mining is spread over
the entire length and nearly the entire
breadth of California, being pursued to
some extent in three-fourths of the coun
ties of the state. This industry employs
about 1900 stamps or their equivalent,
some of the crushing being performed by
arrastras, roller mills and similar devices.
OF the above number it may be calcu-
lated that $500 stamps are constantly in
active service. Estimating that these
stamps crush ten tons of ore per day for
200 days in the year, there results an an
nual total of 2, 100000 tons of ore crushed.
AS this ore will average nearly seven dol
lars per ton the yield amounts, at the low
est calculation, to $13,000,000 per annum.
That this product will be steadily increased
for many years to come there is good rear
son to believe. Nevada, Amador and ST
ezra remain the leading quartz mining
counties of the state, their annual output
amounting to 100000, s2,0O00O0 and ST.

Powerful Indian Air Guns.

The Indians along the Mirida river
hunt with blow guns made out of the
young stalks of a certain kind of palm,
from which the pith is removed. The
arrows employed as projectiles are sim
ply splinters Of reed. sharpened at one
end, the other end being wrapped with
enough silk cotton obtained from another
kind of palm to fill up the bore of the
blow gun. The arrows are about ten
inches long and very light. They are
tipped with the famous and deadly
"woorari" poison.
Used by one of these naked sayages

Educate Children to High Ideals.


We are tos ready to impart instruc-
ton to children from low moods and on
low plane, because we do not ourselves
habitually dwell in the latitude of the
uplands. Motives of policy. of vanity,
of seeming instead of being right, enter
into our own lives and, alas! poison the
lives of the little ones at the fountain.
A grand life, brave example, a splen-
did instance of fortitude, of self abnega
ton, of courage against odds is never in
vain. 1t is an object lesson that flames
out from the sky, as the planet amid the
host of lesser stars. Whether it be an
arctic or an African explorer, the leader
of a forlorn hope, the missionary living
among the island lepers, or the army
nurse, leaving home and luxury to min
lister to the wounded and soothe the
dying, the noble ideal is uplifted before
the eyes of those who are yet in the in
itial stages, and whose characters are
not yet in the mold of destiny.
This thought of the lofty ideal gives
the chief value of our annual Decoration
Day, giving us pause amid the pomp and
ease of peace, that we may think not of
the pageantry of war, but of its suffer
ings, its fever and thirst, its rigors of
cold and furnace heats, its weary
marches, fierce battles and the patriot
ism which alone condones its bitter woe
and the mourning that follows in its
track. -Harpers Bazaar.

Writers on the history of table manners
have great deal to say respecting the use
OF the spoon and fork, and the habit of
eating from common dish, illustrating
their narrative with numerous anecdotes,
In 1850 Montaigne visited Switzerland and
was surprised to remark that at table they
gave always as many spoons as there were
guests Plates began gradually to replace
porringers after the year 1900, but were
used only for the solid food. The SOUPS
were still placed in large vessel in the
center of the table, and every guest ate
from it with his own SPOON
Some writers do not wish to believe that
such want of refinement was possible as
late as the reign of Louis XIV. but the
proof is against them.-Golden Days.

valuable source of convenience and wealth.

dominates everything In the field of light
and power. The entire town, containing
800 or 600 houses, two hotels, many stores
and over dozen factories, is profusely
lighted with inoandeseent lamps supplied
by power from the Pemigewasset river,
which tumbles in series OF cascades
through the picturesque settlement.
The power is so cheap as to be used with
great economy of labor and expense in the

Re that MS IL may, II Is the men OF ms CLASS
who object to so called improvements anu
who stand ready to give the new io,s
state forest commission all possible alu
in perpetuating huge park that shail DC

veur ago, is worthy of reproduction De
cause of the facts and suggestions CON-
tanned therein. Say these gentlemen
.The gross area of the Adirondack Will
derness is about 5000 square miles, or
d. coo. 900 acres, including lakes, ponds ana
rivers. overfowed lands, clearings, farms
and some villages or settlements. Of TINS
area the state has acquired title, under
sundry tax sales, to 765036 acres only, IN
clusive of water and overlooked lands.
This area is in widely separated parcels,
VARYING in extent from one-quarter Oh an
ac,e To 700 acres, interspersed among
tracts owned By individuals and corpora
tions and an unknown number Of clubs.
"There must be some scheme adopted ny
which an area could he consolidated sum
GENTLY large to make a park. oniy Two
methods have ever been suggested-one'
that the state should condemn the land by
the right OF emlneut uoiii"ih, "no oV"S.'
that the state should purchase the land.
The first method Is looked upon by the
commission as at present impracticable.
The other could be easily carried out pro
vided that the present owners OF the land
were willing to sell them and the state
would provide the necessary money.
"Under the plan suggested by chapter 40,
laws OF 1887, it is bound that the state may
gradually acquire large areas OF land at
low prices, and so much Of the land needed
for a park can be obtained by these meth
DDS that comparatively small appropria-
lions will be required from the state treas
ury. From the figures thus far ascertained
1t Is thought that the cost of the park will
not exceed 90, 600. 600 to s3,50o,000."
But whatever happens to the grand old
Northwoods there are some charms OF
which Nineteenth century vandals cannot
despoil them. Deer and bear, trout and
birds may disappear, but the hills are eter-

Through all the years since Hendrick

plored this region where somber beauty
and dainty loveliness blend and shade from
one to other with quick transition and
capricious grace. He has fshed and hunt

| search for gold and iron, he has chopped
down whole forests OF spruce and hemlock
and burdened the rivers with rich freight

has built summer cottages and hotels at
every available point and filed them with
the weary and wealthy city people who
find renewed health and outdoor diversion
