From the Butte Inter Mountain
In the western part of the town and near the
village OF Burlington there il a strange char
acter, who excites no end of comment by his
peculiar actions. He is the owner or leaser of
o mine, the shaft of which is about fifty feet
in depth. This strange individual works the
mine all by himself, andto the people whom he
meets he Is an enigma. He steadfastly refuses
to be interviewed, and although prospectors on
neighboring mines have made repeated efforts
to even get salutation from him they have
signally failed. Every morning as regular az.
clockwork he descends into the mine by means
Of q ladder, and remains there until evening
Occasionally he is seen to hoist q bucket of
waste, and it is presumed that this action is
made necessary bv the TACT that he is driving
crosscut single-handed and alone and gets
cramped for want of room.
But the most peculiar thing in connection
with this singular man Is his manner Of work
ing. Every two weeks he changes shifts and
change at the end Of that time to two weeks day

miner who has become accustomed to work.
ing two weeks night and two weeks day that he
cannot overcome the habit
How the old man manages to exist is another
mystery. To the knowledge Of his neighbors
he has not shipped pound Of ore for many
months. Many Of the miners believe that he
Is working under some delusfon, and that be
had dream in which he saw rich lodges of
high grade ore underneath the surface Of that
particular spot. His neigbbors hope he will be
successful, although they are confident he u Ear

Washing Paper Money.

Have you ever washed filthy lucre? I
never heard of such thing until recently, when
happened to be making a social call at the
home OF well-known physician In this CITY,
Pausing moment at the opon door of his
Office to give him friendly greeting noticed
a row of '.greenbacks" hanging on a string that
was stretched from the washstnnd to the chin.
ney piece. II am just washing some money"
he said. 'Have you ever seen it done? do it
because get money from all kinds Of people,
and it is often SO horribly dirty that know It is
breeding place for microbes, SO wash every
grmy and ragged bill that comes to me. Give
me one Of yours and will show you" With
some misgivings handed him SiO bill, which
was excessively dilapidated. The physician
lathered its face generously with soap, and
began vigorous rubbing. Then, rinsinR II of
in cold water, he squeezed it dry. and, smooth
ing it out again. hung it in the warm sunshine,
To my surprise in a few moments it stiffened
itself up and became q clean, crisp, new, self-

ury instead Of the limp Disgrace that had been
carrying about in my pocket book. II you don't
believe that this Is true try it.

KEEPER wALDEN'S CASE.
The Government Not Ready for Trial Till
the Forged Check Arrives.

Drs. Godding and Patterson came over from
st. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane this
morning TO appear witnesses in the case Of
Adam c. Walden, the attendant ut that institt-
ton who was charged with having assisted
convict patient to escape. When The case was
called MIR. Mu'iowney said he was not ready TO
proceed with the case because the forged check,
which played such an important part in the
case, had not been returned from the west
The question of the confinement Of the patient
referred to in the asylum was discussed and
Mr. Mullowney said thathe was sentenced for
forgery and obtaining pension fee illegally.
He forged his way in, " remarked the court,
land then forged his wav out"
That's exactly what he did," said counsel
Mr.. l. c. Taylor. counsel for Walden, objected
to a further continuance and argued that the
convict Howard wGs not in confinement in con-
temptation Of law. and therefore no offense was
charged against him.
After some discussion Judge Miller continued
the case until Saturday.

full bread could be made of @ mixture of rye

cred that the refuse left after the oil has been

made with an admixture Of peanuts or peanut
refuse would certainly be highly nutritious.

From Jenness Mtllers Magazine.
The first requisite for keeping the teeth and
gums sound and beautiful is to eschew the use
of dentrifices of whose component ingredients
nothing is known. An excellent recipe for a
harmless powder to be made at home is the fol-
lowing: Two ounces of prepared chalk, one
half ounce Of pulverized white CASTLE SOAP two
ounces Of powdered orris root, two tablespoon
fuls Of powdered sugar, few drops of oil of
wintergreen added us a havoring. powder Of
this sort can be used with safety twice each day.
Some women use charcoal from time to time to
whiten the teeth, but the practice cannot be
recommended. Any rough or gritty substance
naturally scratches the enamel which becomes
a repository in this abraded condition for tartar
spots. The great point is to keep the enamel
perfectly smooth. To remove the discoloratious
that will make their appearance on the best
cared for teeth use small twig of althea
cherry or other soft wood sharpened into a
pencil point and rub the surface Of the teeth
and the corners especially, with the same.
Don't encourage yourself in brushing the teeth
In warm water. Cold is better tonic for the
gums. Never brush sideways, which causes re-
cesslon of the gums, but always with an up-
and-dOwn movement. And avoid above all
things, very stiff tooth brushes and very large
ones. The medium sizes, with soft bristies, are
more healthy for the gums
