Accustom yourself to the use of spong-
ing with cold water every morning on
first getting out of bed. 1t should be
followed by a good deal of rubbing with
a wet towel. This has considerable
effect in giving tone to the skin and
maintaining a proper action in it, and
thus proves a safeguard to the injurious
influence of cold and sudden changes of
temperature.

THE CHEYENNE LEADER put out a
large supplement on Sunday last, con-
tanning a second write-up OF Saratoga,
Gold Hill and the Upper Platte Valley.
Our e%itizent are highly pleased with Its
exposition of our resources and THE
LEADER is fast becoming the most popu-
lar daily taken 10 the valley. 1t is no
wonder that Mr.. Payton. after several
visits to this highly favored region, speaks
OF it as THE Proud Platte Valley" He
truly says that one year ago only a very
small proportion of the people, even in
Wyoming, knew anything about Saratoga.
Some had heard of the place but did not
know whether it was north or south of
the Union Pacific railroad, on the Platte
river or some other stream and were not
enough interested 10 look on the map.
Gold Hill, too. had been heard of only in
a vague sort OF a way. Now Saratoga
and Gold Hill are known to the entire
country and reports from this region are
eagerly read by thousands of people. = =
4 But it is manifestly impossible for us
to repeat all the good words THE LEADER
speaks Tor this region even had we a de-
sire to do so. Its tale Is plain and I'M
vanished, setting forth in a graphic man
ner the things which go to make the
Proud Platte Valley a veritable store
house for the state. Citizens OF the val
lev will do well to read the entire supple
ment and secure copies to send to friends
abroad.
: Although 900 copies of this special
edition were printed, not a single copy,
except those intended for filing. remains
in this office. An extra edition of THE
WEEKLY LEADER was also printed, but
every copy has also been sold. The peo-
pie of the section interested showed their
appreciation of the special edition in this
as well as every other respect and we have
every reason to feel gratified. En-.

Above a butchers stall on the west

from a block. of English oak, and the
craftsman who fashioned it was a mas

yer Miners Talk.
For Awhile Hundreds of Min
ers We're Alarmed,
And it Looked Like the Mines
Would Shut Down,
But Owners Say they Will
Run On if they Lose.
Miners Scared Up.

ASPEN, Colo, April 1.-Considerable
anxiety has beer caused to miners, bust
ness men and in fact all classes of people
in Aspen who are dependent solely on
the production of our mines on account
of the price Of silver. Rumors were rite
regarding the closing down of several
properties whereby hundreds of men
would be thrown out Of employment.
In view of these facts an Associated
press representative called upon various
mine managers and elicited from them
expressions upon this vital subject. Mr..
Fred Buckley, manager of the Aspen
mining and smelling company, was first
seen and said: No, we will not close
down for the present at any rate. A few
men were laid off but not many. Our
chief production at present is a high
grade lead ore carrying from ten to twenty
ounces of silver. OF course. so long as
lead keeps up we can ship this ore be-
cause it carries but little silver, being a
desirable smelling ore. The treatment
charge is light and therefore makes it
profitable to ship. You can state posi-
lively that there is no intention at present
of closing down"
DIR. Henry Paul, manager of the
Aspen mine said: The owners, or
rather those representing the owners of
the Aspen mine held a special meeting in
this city very recently and after carefully
looking over the situation and taking into
consideration the fact that to close down
meant idle men and the causing of want
in a great many families decided TO oper-
ate the mine and meet a loss rather than
lay off several hundred men, a
majority of whom are supporting families,
1 would say. however, that in case silver
continues at the present price any great
length OF time we would be compelled to
cease operations.
Manager G. E. Palmer of the Mollie
Gibson-Yes, work will 90 ahead on the
Mollie as usual. We realize fully
the great loss which will be in
Cured by continuing our production.
but we prefer shipping ore and keeping
the men in employment to closing down.
Still we will in case silver does not ad-
vance in the near future reduce the
working force. This | do not and GER
tainly trust will not be necessary as | am
confident silver will soon be considerably
higher.

AS to the size of the steamship of the
future, financial considerations must de-
termine it. Any addition to size means
greater displacement and greater power
to get a high rate of speed. A small
craft, similar perhaps to a torpedo boat
Of the Thornycroft or Yarrow build,
would give results satisfactory at least
on the debit side of the ledger. But what
Of the credit side, which, after all, is the
more important in q merchant ship of
the Atlantic greyhound type?
In the CASE of British ships there are
only two sources of revenue-from pas
sengers and for the transport of cargo
and mails. In a vessel Of the torpedo
type there is not room for either. So
also with high speed cruisers, where a
very large proportion of the length, in
some cases 40 per cent, is given up for
machinery. Indeed, only in exceptional
cases could a cruiser carry fuel to cross
h Atlantic at full speed, and certainly
no torpedo boat would essay to do so.
In the modern high speed passenger
steamer the cargo capacity of the vessel
is limited, and 30 valuable that only a
precious cargo is carried, and that at q
pretty high rate. The cause of the linn
itation is the weight of machinery and
the coal for consumption and the neces-
sity for minimizing the displacement.
As to speed, there is really no insur-
mountable~ difficulty in attaining forty
knots, but this would require something
like 160, 900 indicated horse power, sew
enty boilers to generate the steam for
the engines, and these would burn con-
siderably more than 1000 tons of coal
per day.-Elgineering.

women Are No. 1noon.t.nt.

The authors of the past seem to have
thought that they could not make a tale
in verse or prose romantic or interesting
unless they should introduce inconstant
heroines to their readers, and for this
purpose they were ready to defame the
whole sex at least by implication. Wo-
man Is constant on instinct, on principle,
by enlightened policy, by mere self in
terest. Her inward prompting and out
ward advantage conspire to the same
end. She is doubly guarded. Man is
differently constituted. Principle alone
must, as q rule, hold him steady, and
comparatively few of his sex, it must be
admitted, act on principle in this regard.
Woman is homogeneous; man n in
fact male animals generally are polyg-
amous. Monogamy is but another name
for constancy, as polygamy is for incon-
stancy.
Whatever man may assume, he does
not believe hat women, generally, are
unstable. His attitude and entire con-
duct toward them demonstrate this. If
such was his conviction, he would not
marry; he would not jeopardize his
honor, his peace of mind, his precious
self love. Marriage would, in time,
to be a custom; for marriage, So
ciety, civilization, depend absolutely on
woman's fidelity to the matrimonial
bond, not as a theory alone, but as a
sacred truth. Man thinks, with reason,
that some, perhaps many, women are
disloyal. But it always seems to sur
prise him; it is different from his expec-
tation, otherwise he would not raise
such a clamor about it. The incon-
stancy of women generally is a con-
scious and shallow pretext, more so to-
day than ever. Nature, society, science,
law, men, all demand the exact con-
trary, and their demand is fully met

Philo1oxx and Grammar.

There is motion abroad that philology
is superior to grammar; that it is in a
commanding position over grammar,
and that it has a natural right to super
wise the arrangements and terminoiogy
OF grammar. The consequence has been
that OF late years almost every author
who has come forward as a grsmmarian
has done so, more or less, in the guise
of a philologist, As if this character in
vested him with higher authority, and
gave him power to innovate upon the
time honored institutes of grammar.

brid doctrines have found their way
