The erection of smelling plant at Los Angeles may seem a wild scheme 10 many miners in this part of Arizo- na. To give an idea, however, of the success of one similarly situated it may be ststed that at Tacoma there is not a pound of ore within 800 miles of it capable of being work ed profitably but sll the supply comes from Mon- tana. Alaska, Idaho and eastern Washington and some even from Peru. The smelter has been running four gears, and has been a source of profit, not only to the smelier men but to the miners also. It has been enlarged until it represents capital of quarter million of dollars.

The MapIe sugar Induatrv.

! 1t may not be known 60 all our
readers that we owe the munuinc
ture of maple sugar on a large seal,
to the non-importation times befort
| the Revolution, when the austerC
colonists drank Liberty tea" and
wore homespun garments. The
| Pennsylvania Gazette of July Is,
! 1765, had letter from Boston dat
ed July 4, which mentions the pro-
cess as a new discovery. The cores
pondent got his information from a
gentleman of Athol," who described
the "sugar-making business" at Ber-
nardston. "Having chosen out a
large maple tree" he said, "they
with an axe box il, much after the
manner OF the fir from which turpen-
tine is obtained; this being done,
kind of trough is prepared, extend
ing from the trunk of the tree on
each side. in order to retain the sap
as it runs down. BY this means up
wards of 30 gallons can be obtained
in a day; which, being manufactured
after the manner of syrup of the sug-
ar cane, produces n grain Of which is
equal in firmness to the Jamaica;
and the treacle is extracted from the
pressure of the sugar is very little,
if anything, inferior to our West In
dia molasses. OF this sugar." the
gentleman says, upwards of 600
pounds were made by one man the
last season, that is from February
to April inclusive. A tree will be ser
viceable for this purpose 12 or 10
years, with proper usage. 1t is said
that one family near No. Four(Char-
lestown, n. III. the last season made
upwards of 1000 pounds. 1t is as
pleasant to the taste as iany other
sugar, and very proper TO give 20
children for the chin cough, at this
time very prevalent in Bos-
ton. ."-Springfield Reporter.

The Monument at oettysbure

The Monument erected by the
states of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania.
West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, and
Minnesota to commemorate the re-
pulse of Longstreet's grand assault
at Gettysburg, July 3, 1863, effected
by the troops of those states, is to
be dedicated June 2 next. The mon
ument is an immense open book of
bronze, resting upon a pedestal of
stone. It's open pages bear the
names of the various reg iments which
participated in the repulse of the
charge, which has been known as Z"
the pivotal movement of the war"
and the 'high tide of the rebellion" :"
Two Vermont regiments-the 18th
and 16th-of Stannard's brigade are
in the list. A large gathering is eX-
pected, including the president oi
| the United States and the Governors
of eighteen northern states; and tn,
exercises will be of high interest. 4
circular of information, issued by
the Battlefield Memorial association,
says that arrangements have been
made for half fare or round trip rates
from Boston and New York; and
tents and straw will be supplied,
free, to veterans who apply therefor,
in advance, to N. G. Nelson, of Get

Bad schools for Girls.

As to bad schools-schools that in
stretching after the mint and anise
and cumin lose all that might have
given successfully are many. IL
seems sometimes that there is nopro-
fession in which there is so much hum
bug as in that of education, and the
utter inability of the parent TO de-
termiae what kind of a school il is in
to which he decides to put his little
girl, has, TO those who stand behind
the scenes, very much Of the pitiful.
When, however, we think of one or
two professions, we doubt and are
silent. One is reminded of the nurse
maid who never stood in need of a
Thermometer for the water for the
baby's bath, becauseif the baby came
out red, she knew it had been too hot
and il it came out blue, she knew IL
had been too cold. Too manya faith
er finds, when it is too late, that he
has made mistake in the school TO
which he trusted the training of his
girl. But how could he have known
before?
For girl TO have been at some
schools for any length of time is a
certificate of frivolity, lack of purpose
and thoroughness, and, what is of
more consequence, of any real rever-
ence for truth or her own woman
hood.-Anna G. Brackett in Harper's s,

Rettar Roacia-

The movement TO- better public
roads is exciting discussion all over
the United States, which for n civil
lied country has probably the worst
roads in the world. A distinguished
resident of Minnesota in a letter to
the Minneapolis Journal calls upon
the people TO improve their highways
without considering the preliminary
expense. He tells them that i'm many
counties in the Eastern states. where
systems of Teleford or Macadam
roads have been built, the value OF
farm property has been increased 30
per cent. A poor road, he says, costs
more than a good one, since the loss
TO the inhabitants of the country in
damaged wagons and wear and tear
OF horses far exceeds the expense in
keeping the roads in good repair.
what are our common roads any,
way?" he asks. In Minnesota they
are simply ''strips Of country, about
four rods wide, thrown open for the
public to travel upon. In places
where they would otherwise be inn
passable, they are worked that is,
a body of men who know nothing of
building roads make just as little inn
provement in them as possible, and,
considering the result. in n most ex-
pensive manner. In spring our COM
mon roads are lakes of mud. in sum
mer long stretches Of dust, then,
after the autumn rains they are mud
again. This mud freezes, after hav-
ing been cut by narrow-tired wheels
into the toughest possible surface,
and then one cannot travel twenty
miles over a country road without
having the wagon broken TO pieces"
In that state theroads are maintained
by the districts through which they
run, each family furnishing so much
labor or an equivalent in money
every year. The work is done as
quickly as possible, no attention be-
ing paid TO drainage or even TO the
question of what is the most dura-
ble material TO build with. The re-
suit is eXasperating. Only sound
legislation and an aroused public
spirit will afford n remedy.

ADAM HOLCOMB'S WILL.

Adam Holcomb was dead at last
dead after seventy years of money
getting, and the grave had closed
over him. He had no children, for
he had led single life, induced, so it
was said, though nothing was GER
tainly known, by an early disap-
pointment which had warped his ma
ture and made him lead a solitary
and selfish life, given up to mammon
alone.
Adam Holcomb was dead, and as
yet no one knew what disposition he
had made of his money.
Three days after the funeral the
next of kin and possible heirs were
collected in the office of the lawyer
who was the custodian of the will
and private papers of the deceased.
They were few in numbers, for the
family was not a large one. There
were but three, and these three may
be briefly described.
First came James Holcomb, a
nephew of the deceased, vain self
ish, worldly man, all his thoughts
centered upon himself and his own
family. who had never been known
to give a penny for any charitable
purpose.
Next came Harvey HolcOmb, a
cousin of the last named and about
the same age. He was tall, thin and
angular He belonged to the legal
profession, in which he had managed
to pick up cOnsideraDlem money though
his reputation was none of the best.
He was considerable tricky, willing
to undertake any cause, however dis
reputable, for money. He was mar
ried and had family, for whom he
provided in a grudging manner. He,
too, had nourished sanguine hopes
of finding himself much better off af-
ter his uncle's death.
Last a young man, presenting q
strong contrast to the other two.
He was of light complexion, brown
hair, clear blue eyes and an attrac-
tive face. He was barely twenty
years of age, very plainly dressed,
and with modest manner which
prepossessed one in his favor. He
was the son of old Adam Holcomb's
Youngest sister, who had married a
poor minister, and her son, Alfred
Graves. was studying medicine, for
which he had a decided prediction.
But he had been cramped by narrow
means, and was even now teaching
in a country school, hoping to OBJ

the elder men, turning wrathful faces
toFard Alfred Graves.
fsNot a word, said the young
man. 81 am as much astonished as
you can be-

But there was no helpfor it. The
deed was done. The two disappoint-
ed men left the house, feeling any
thing but grateful to the uncle who |
they persuaded themselves had cruel
ly wronged them.
But there was a modest little home |
that was made glad by the news of
Alfred's good fortune, and in his
hands the money has brought a
blessing with it, for it has made a
fountain of good deeds and charita-

Domestic Science Lends a Hand.


There is another new and impor-
tant factor in cooking Many arti-
cles need a crisp touch, or something
to make the other ingredients more
harmonious, and it is not every cook
who can use butter of the best quail
tv for all cooking. 1t is right here
that the danger lies. The housekeep-
er thinks she cannot afford the best
grade of an article at all hazards.
Lard and pork have been stand-bys
so long, and there are so many places
where tney seem to be enecessary, that
their quality is important. Still
under the very best possible condi-
tions the grease is unhealthy, and its
faults cannot be overlooked; in fact
people who are at all sensitive can
not eat food containing these ingre-
dents.
Cottolene is a preparation which
comes into the market to meet just
this need. The product is made of
cotton seed oil and beef suet, is the
same consistency as lard, and looks
like in color, which is creamy.

is used in place of lard or butter in
cooking. For frying it is unsurpass-
ed, as rich brown color is easily Sc
cured. There is not the least sugges-
ton of extra fat, but a crisp fine fin
ish, very pleasing in fish, cakes, fried
cereals, oysters, or clans.
A popularity of this preparation is
that while food seems rich there is nc
fatty tast to disturb the digestion,
and for this reason it has been very
popular wherever used. The popu
larity of Cottolene is due TO the skill
full handling and presentation of a
new element in kitchen economy, by
a firm of large resources, which offers
only the purest and best for home
consumption. This firm is determin
ed to maintain a high standard in
