Broke Up the Game.

An Elk Grove wife has hit upon
a most effective plan for curing her
husband of the staying-out-at-night-
and-card-playing habit. 1t beats
the Kelley business out of sight.
Her husband had a craving for
gambling, and preferred sitting up
all night in saloon playing cards
to keeping his wife's company at
home. The worst of it all was he
couldn't win anything, and all the
money that should have gone to
his family went to his gambling
friends.
His wife, finding all her entreaties
unavailing, took a six-pound can
of powder and pistol and sur
prised her "hubby" in the back
room of a saloon at 4 o'clock in the
morning. She set the powder down
near the table where he and half
dozen others were playing cards.
and, covering the group with her
pistol to prevent interference and
hold the crowd while she made .
speech, she made her recreant hus-
band take solemn oath that he
would never again gamble.
Then she made him repeat it
under penalty of blowing up the
whole outfit by dropping lighted
match into the can of powder.
The plucky and desperate little
woman efectually broke up the
oame.-Sacramento Record Union.

The Red River Mining Company.

Some idea of the magnitude Of
the operations of this company
have been gained by the people in
the last few days by the arrival of
the various teams with the $4,000
pounds of machinery for this
equipment. Owing to the diff
culties of transportation on mule
back over mountain trail
the machinery had to be made to
order in sections, and the weight of
the heaviest pieces are under 400
pounds. The boiler is immense and
each section completely hid from
sight the unhappy mule who had
to tote it in. These sections had
to be fitted up with substantial car
penter work to adjust the load to
the aparajos. The engine is Of 300
horse power, and among the freight
was two pumps, each designed to
pump l50 inches Of water per
minute. Several mechanics came
from Chicago with the freight and
will l-superintend it's erection. All
the Chinese and Indian teams have
been pressed into service, and it is
hoped that enough may be got IN
to enable them to put the plant to-
gether this fall and winter. Idaho

The Coming Race.

II have never felt any but good
effects from my experiment." said
DR.. III. S. Tanner, whose fast of forty
days some years ago made him fa-
nous. ''In fact, I am firmly con-
vinced that if man should fast for
forty days every ten years in his life
there is no reason why he should
not live to be hundred years old.
He renews his youth every time he
does it. The truth is that the Amer

meals day and eat nothing at all
after noon. | do not blame Euro
peans for refusing our pork. Meat
eating is expensive at best. You
feed an animal ten pounds of grain
to get part of one pound of meat.
It is like putting ten good gold dol
lars in the bank and then year
afterward giving the bank receipt
for SO cents"
DR.. Tanner is now engaged in New
Mexico upon decidedly novel plan
of making future generations OF
absolutely perfect men and women.

near La Cruces" he said, in ex-
planning this plan, ;'and on it built
home for 100 poor orphans. We
bring these children up in absolute
ignorance Of the existence of alco.
hol, tobacco or narcotics of any
kind. We give them a good edu-
cation and plenty of exercise. When
any of them reach a manageable
age we shall bring them to some
city and allow them to see the world
They can remain in and of the
world if they wish, but if they pre-.
fer our colony life they can return
to us, but with the understanding
that they can marry only among
themselves. Is it not reasonable
to suppose that in time their de-
scendants, free from any hereditary
taint, will be as near perfect mer
and women as can be made on this
earth? It is simply the plan which
the breeders of fine horses or cattle
carry out successfully. In man il
will result in physical, mental
moral and spiritual betterment. p

and why We Should Bathe

Among all the appliances for
health and comfort to mankind, we
may safely say there is nothing 80
we'll known, so useful, and withal 50
comforting, and yet so little prac-
ticed, SO carelessly and thought
lessly reelected, as judicious bath
ing. The skin Of the human body,
from heand to foot, is network OF
pores, which ought always to be
kept free and clear of distractions.
These pores are the openings into
minute tubes or channels, which
lead through unseen meanderings
into the sanctum of life within.
To those blessed with good health
a bath, as a common appliance,
gives thrift and growth to healthy
functions, a brightness and delight
full serenity, a clearness of mind
and buoyancy of spirit. 1t is GER
tainly blessing to both mind and
body. For the mental worker, it is
nerve tonic. A thorough INNER
sion in water of proper temperature
will calm and give strength and
tone to his whole system. The in
door laborer who gets but scanty
supply of fresh air, needs bath to
obtain those invigorating elements
SO common in the open air.
The outdoor laborer-especially
the farmer-who works with heroic
energy all day long, unavoidably
gathers on the entire surface of his
body a complete prison-wall of dust
and thickening, gummy perspira-
ton, and when his days work is
done, he needs then, more than any
other thing, not only a wash, but
good, luscious "full BATH" to fit
him for a clean bed and refresh.
ing sleep.
The glutinous mass of perspira-
ton, dust and filth, which gathers
on the surface of the body, natu-
rally covers and clogs the pores
and often enters them and poisons
the system. To remove that filth

A Lesson From Jay Gould.

A favorite general officer of one
of Gould's Western railroads was
called to New York a few years ago
and jumped on by the Little Wiz
zard as follows:
"They tell me you are broke and
and don't pay your debts. What
is the matter !"
The officer sputtered and STAN
mered.
.It costs me great deal to live, y
he replied. "My family is large,
rents are high and doctors bills
have been considerable, but things
are not so bad as you seem to think.
"I'll see, said Gould, handing out
check for 81 900. Take this over
to Connor and tell him to put this
in the market as he sees fit; come
back here when he tells you to-"
The man obeyed. It was an ex-
citing day in Wabash and he re-
turned to Gould with $4,000.
$50 you've been speculating," ex-
claimed Gould. Don't do it again.
That's what ails you fellows who
don't know what you are about.
You better 60 home nows
The unfortunate speculator bade
Gould good-by with profuse thanks
and started.
Haven't you forgotten some
thing?" called Gould.
II don't know"
"Where's that 81 900 / lent you
this morning. It seems to. be true
that you don't pay your debts. Re
member, my boy, the essential thing

credit"
