Journalism In Guatemala.

"Publishing paper in San Francisco
is a different proposition from publish

The gentleman who made this remark
was Francisco Moncayo, late editor Of La
Semana, journal of Guatemala, who re-

he was formerly resident, on a recent
steamer.

"Ths Gssse Honks nigh.

A mistake that is very generally made,
is the popular phrase, "everything is

this is entirely wrong. 1t should read,

FASHION NOTEs.

Combinations are made Of gold and
English rose.
Black velvet and ivory satin are the
latest combination.
Dark red is to be worn with almost
every color and style Of costume.
Gold shoe buttons, set with Jewels,
are the latest caprice Of the very rich.
A pretty trimming for cotton gowns is
of white cambria, with dainty cord and
scalloped upon each edge in colors.
Most of the bodices for slender, youth
full women are sharply pointed, and are
still made to fasten under the arm or
else at the back.
One stylish bonnet is almost in the
shape of skull-cap. 1t is worn we'll
back on the head, is very fat, aud has
little trimming other than full bunch
OF plumes exactly at the back.
The pretty capcs to be worn at the
seaside and in the mountains this summer
are as a rule made of French camers
hair, very light and soft to the touch,
but slightly rough in appearance.
Bonnets made of jeweled gimp are
pretty and stylish. They are very plain,
that is have little il any trimming other
than the material OF which they are made.
This, however, is so elegant that nothing
further is required.

A Game Girl.

One Of the little incidents which
tend to explain why life insurance
companies will not accept a risk upon
the life of a circus performer occurred
at the Madison Square Garden yes
terday afternoon.
One of the features Of the show Is
a race between six thoroughbreds rid
den by lady jockeys, which calls for
large and imposing amount OF ilrSt-
class grit.
The short turns of the garden track
are extremely difficult to negotiate
and when the girls fly around them
they exhibit fixedness of counte-
nance which shows that they appre-
clate the danger.
Yesterday afternoon the racers
struck one OF the corners in bunch.
There was thump, an eruption OF
sawdust, and when the mass of KICK

rider Of the leader was found beneath
her steed.

Remarkable Ice Shaft.

There is a remarkable ice shaft not far
from York, Montana. 1t is freak OF
nature formed in an abandoned shaft
sunk by miners in old New York gulch,
in Meagher county.
This gulch was very rich for drift dig
gers in early days. 1t paid as high as
$500 to a four foot set of tlmbers, which
two miners could easily put in with
days WORK. Several years ago two
miners sunk a shaft along one side OF the
gulch, about three miles above its mouth,
or where the gulch empties into Trout
creek. The shaft was put down about
t[ty-6ye feet below the surface of the
gulch, and 1t was we'll timbered from the
bottom to the top, with a good, stout
ladder to go down on.
The miners struck the run of the
gulch, and missing the pay streak they
abandoned the shaft, as it was of no
more use TO them.
There has SINCE formed about midway
Of the shaft solid mass OF ice clear
around the shaft, with the exception of
a small air hole in its center. 1t is frozen
to the timbers of the shaft. There is no
water dripping from the sides and none
in the bottom of the shaft. But there is
a solid body of ice at the bottom. WHAT
seems very strange is that the ice in the
shaft is more abundant and forms faster
in the warmest summer weather than it
does in the winter months.
The mass of ice in the center of the
shaft, or about halfway down from the
surface, is about six feet thick, with an
air. hole through the center that will per-
nit the passage of man's body. By
putting down rope one eau go to the
bottom easily.
A strong, cold current of air contin-
ually comes up from below. 1t is so cold
in the shaft that person can stay in it
but short time aud even then he must
be dressed in his winter hsnnels to keep
fro freezing. The ice in the shaft
melts away great deal in the coolest
winter weather, while in the summer
months it keeps forming and does not
melt at all.
In the summer the ice freezes on the
rounds of the latter clear to the top Of
the shaft. Observers have seen the SUI
shine on the ice on the top rounds OF the
ladder three or four hours in the middle
of the warmest summer days without
melting any of it. In the winter the ice
will all melt off the top rounds.
Though the shaft was of no use to the
miners who put it down, it is of great
use to the families around the town Of
York iu the warm summer months. For
there is where they get their supply Of
ice. Many gallons of ice cream are made
in the town daily in the warm weather
by the aid of ice taken from the shaft
For se5erIl year; past there has never
been time where there was not enough
ice in the shaft to supply town twice
the size of York. Any resident of York
can verify the statement in regard to this
singular ice shaft. Chicago News.

How the Blind Tell Time.

A blind man possessing a watch can,
by certain amount of calculation, al
WAYS ascertain the time. For instance,
he asks the time of some one who IS
not afflicted by the loss of eyesight,
and finding that it is twenty minutes
past three he Immediately winds his
watch up as far as it will go. In the
evening, wishing to know the time, he
rewinds, counting the clicks as he
turns the key. There are forty-fve
clicks. for example. Calculating that
nine correspond to 100 minutes, eight
hours twenty minutes have elapsed
since the time he had asked, and that
consequently is 1920 added to 500, or
twenty minutes to twelve. In the
morning again. in counting the clicks
when rewinding, he finds there are
twenty-seven, or that 800 minutes have
passed. which, added to the time last
ascertained gives the hour as 4;4O in
the morning.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Never allow the hens to drink from
;tagnant pools.
1t rarely pays to hatch out ducks late;
the early ones pay.
Plenty of grass is necessity IN rails
ing ducks aud geese.
The goose eggs set under hens should
be turned every other day.
Having the yards and pens dry is an
important item in raising turkeys profit
ably.
When given free range it is rarely
necessary to feed animal food to the
poultry.
Young turkeys are 50 tender that they
should be removed from the nest when
few hours old.
Generally it will be best to sprinkle
both duck and goose eggs a day
before they are to hatch.
Young fowls need crushed bone in
some form in order to develop good
blood, bone, flesh and feathers.
Lime is one Of the best purifiers that
car be used. The nest-boxes, percles
and the inside of the houses should be
washed with IT,
Coal ashes upon heavy clay soil will
help very much to bring it into good
condition. Plow and harrow them in
until we'll mixed.
When the hens are we'll fed and com
fortably housed and yet do not lay, lit

stimulant will often be benefit.
If you are growing poultry for profit
it will pay to study caPonizing. Capon'

Poultry pays we'll in orchards. The
shade is good for the fowls, and they
pick up large number of insect pests.

STING A HORSE FOR LAMExEss

TESTING HORSE FOR LAMENEss.
When examining a horse with view
to purchasing, says a contemporary,
always hare him led down steep or
stony descent at the end of halter and
with no whip near him. MarJ horses
when brought out of the stable are ex-
cited by the presence of strangers, and
become still more so at the sight of q
whip. A slight lameness may therefore
be momentarily overlooked by the horse
himself, Just as a man, under strong ex-
citement, will sometimes forget a sore
foot. Leading the horse down a slope
will show any defect in his fore quarters,
and running him back will develop any
weakness that may exist in his hind legs.
