Lots of Gold. Little Water.

Twelve gold mines, employing about
sixty men, are now being worked in the
northwestern part of Sonora. These
mines are owned by Mexican capitalists,
and one vein was recently sold in Tue
son for $50, 900. The ore which has
been extracted up to date is exceedingly
rich, the poorest yielding 5000 per ton.
Gold is percepfible everywhere, and one
of the miners, by very imperfect proc
ess, is said to have realized IA, 600 ounces
of the precious metal. The great diff
Guilty at the mines is the lack of water,
which at present has to be brought a
distance of eight to ten leagues over a
very sandy and tedious road. Wells are
now being dug. The mines are situated
about fifty leagues northwest of the
town of Altar, close to the American
frontier, and about three or four leagues
from the Pacific coast. Tucson, A. t.,
is about thirty leagues away.

HEATING GREENHOUSES.

comparative Merits of Steam and Hot
Water for horticultural Buildings.
One of the first comparative tests was
made by Peter Henderson about 1885
md the result was q saving Of 20 per
cent. of fuel in the house heated by
steam, while the plants thrived equally
well with those in the house heated by
hot water In a bulletin issued by the
Cornell station. Professor Bailey says:
"All our experience emphasizes the
greater value of steam, but it must be
understood that we do not condemn hot
water" The following are some OF the
conclusions reached after a trial of both
systems at Cornell station:
The heat from steam pipes is dis
tributed over a greater length of pipe,
and as steam is ordinarily carried at a
higher temperature than hot water it
has a distinct advantage for heating
long runs.
There is less loss of heat in the steam
risers than in the hot water risers, and
this means that more heat in the steam
system is carried to the farther end of
the house and more is spent in the re-
turns as bottom heat.
Steam is better than hot water for
long and crooked circuits and pressure
is of great utility in increasing the ra-
pidity of circulation of steam.
Hot water consumed more coal than
steam and was at the same time less
efficient, although this result would
probably be modified in a shorter and
straighter circuit with greater fall.

Several Strange Dreams.

A farmers wife dreamed that she was
walking near the house of a rejected
lover-one O'Flanagan-attended by a
beautiful hound, of which she was fond,
when raven dashed at him, killed him,
and tearing out his heart flew away
with it. She next imagined that she
was running home, and met funeral,
and from the coffin blood flowed upon
the ground. The bearers placed it at
her feet, opened the lid and exhibited
her husband, murdered and his heart
torn out. She awoke, as might be ex-
pected, in great terror. But here fol-
lows the most incomprehensible part of
the narrative. Her husband entertained
an idiot cousin in the house, and he in
doggeral rhyme repeated the very same
dream to gossip to whom the farm
er's wife had related hers.
That very night the farmer was MUIR
dered, and the next morning the poor
idiot, to the horror of all, exclaimed, as
he rose from his bed: "Ulick"-Ulick
Mcguire was the farmers name-"is
kilt! Shamus dhu More kilt him.
TShamus dhu More O'Flanagan-big
black james, land buried him I'M
der the new ditch at the back of the
garden. / dreamed it last night-every
word of it." Search was made at the
spot indicated by the dream, and the
body was found with the skull nearly
lleft in two. In the meantime O'Flan-
agan absconded and enlisted, but was
subsequently arrested, confessed his
crime and was executed. Mall

watering House Plants.

Amateurs, as a rule, are not judicious
when it comes to watering house plants.
In point of fact this is an important
matter-one that controls to great ex-
tent the thrift Of the plant. A good
plan with most plants is to wait until
the soil is quite dry, and then water
sufficiently to moisten the soil down to
the very bottom of the fowerpot. Foil
age plants ought to be often sponged or
syringed, SO as to keep the leaves free
from dust. Deprived of the rain, which
would naturally cleanse them, and not
often watered with a rose pot or syrlnged,
the plants kept in q room are apt gradu-
ally to loose their health. even it they do
not die. The remedy for this is the reg
rSar use Of small piece OF soft old
sponge with slightly warm water, and
in the case of 'blighted" plants a little
yellow soap, soft soap OF insectlclde.
Especially is this necessary III the WIN
ter, when dust is rife, and as "bilght is
then at its weakest point thorough
cleansing during the cold months will
result in freedom from it during the
summer.
