Letter. Five Hundred Years old.

Ancient specimens of letters are shown in the Hof museum at Vienna. One is dated 1896. It consists of large sheet of ribbed white paper folded in three. A band of paper was passed round the outside and through a slit in one edge. being then fastened with soft wax. A small piece of thin paper was laid on the wax and the seal pressed on the paper, not directly on the wax. A somewhat similar arrangement is found in letter of the year l446, which was written by the town counselor of Mu- nich to the burgomaster of Rastenburg in the Tyrol, i'll order to obtain informa- tion concerning man accused of big amy. In the sixteenth century people in the Tyrol and Bavaria used bands oi vellum or cords, fastened with wax. Later came separate round and oblong waters. The use of the encircling band continued in Austria generally to 175O, or thereabout, and probably reached this century among conservative people, The first envelope of the modern type in this collection belongs to the year 1715

QUEEN OF THE OUTLAWS.
STORY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BANDIT
 WITH THE COOK GANG.
Daring as the Brasest-A Tale that geads
 Like Dime Novel stun

The Mnldrow II. Fl Register has the following story which has Il say or of romance about 1t:
 There accompanies the Cook gang of outlaws, who are now terrerizing this territory by their deeds of pillage and robbery, q young woman who may be justly entitled "Queen oi the Outlaws" She is said to be hand some, flashing and possessed of Il reckless, daredevil bravery rivaline that of the notorious Belle Starr l whom she is said to resemble in sev. eral ways. She is q dead sure shot with Winchester or six-shooter, cool and collected i'll time of danger, fond of adventure and even more daring and reckless than male members of the band. Her wearing apparel Is of silk and the finest material, made in common sense style 80 as not to in- terfere with physical movements. She carries q six-shooter and a large knife, and knows how to usc both. She rides a horse man fashion and goes with tlle gang everywhere, and even leads in deeds of daring.
 The gang were camped not far from Sallisaw WI two stations west of Muldrow, not long since, when she came into town, accompanied by two of the boys, who stayed on the outskirts. Attired in short silk dress close-fitting jacket and felt hat, she boldly walked into town and en- quired at the post office for mail, after which she visited several stores where she did some trading. carrying six-shooter all the while. In one of the stores she picked up large onion, reached her hand into the bosom of her dress and whipped out a large knife with which she carved the fruit, which she ate with appar- ent relish, being the object of much curiosity to the by-standtrs
 Near the edge of town she held up three men, taking from one a gold watch and from the others q small sum of money, then cooly walked up the railroad track where she was joined by the outlaws.
 This woman Is about P years oi age, well educated and said to be 0i good family, whose name she will not divulge. She joined the Cook gang simply because she liked that kind of life, the ordinary kind being
 too tame for her. She goes by the name of Dolly and is almost idol. ized by the whole gang.

A FINE SAMPLE OF NERVE.
The Means by Which Tutor Inspired Hid
 Pupils With Courage.

Pupils With Courage.
 An instance of remarkable nerve oc- cured few years ago when the school for flremen i'll this city was established and tho men of the fro department were being trained ill the use of the scaling ladders and the fire nets. The man who trained the firemen told tho incident without apparently thinking it an act much out of the common.
 We began to use tho fire nets, he said. from the first story windows. There IS knaek i'll jumping into them so as not to get hurt led off by stand ing on tho window sill, telling the men how to hold the net, and then jumping into it. Each man ill turn would come up and follow nle iii the jump. It was very simple at that height, and also from the second and third story win dows. We went up flight each day. When we had all got used to jumping into the net from the fourth story, as found out afterward, the men thought that would do. We'll take the fifth to- morrow, had said to them when we quit that night They thought l was q little off, and that was guying them. So the next day, when we got ready to begin, and set eight of them holding the net, they got nervous. saw that when said Hold her strong, boys. I'm going to come down from the fifth. : I began to get afraid of them as went up stairs. Igot to the fifth floor and peep ed out of the window to see if every thing was all right. The men were all in their places. didn't dare to get upon the window sill, as had done on the floors below. It might make them nervous. So just took ono more peep to sec if everything was still all right, put one hand on the sill and vaulted out came down all right, and every man made tho jump after me.
 Tho nets ain much good to the gen. eral public" continued the trainer, ''but you have no idea of how much value they are to the discipline of the force. Firemen. you know. are mostly married men, with families, and it takes nerve for man to plunge into a house full of flame and smoke when he has wife and children dependent upoL him, but the net gives him confidence of safety. He knows now that if his re- treat is cut off his comrades have the net below, and that he knows how to jump into it safely even from the top of . house. It's great thing. Nov York Herald

ACID FOR MAKING SUGAR.
4 Curious Process Which Has Met With
 some Success In France.

A Curious Process Which Has Met With
 some Success In France.
 A very novel method of making sug- ar has been patented ill France by M. Pellegrini. Sugar is chemically com pound of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen in such proportions that if carbonio acid, water and certain kinds of illumi- mating gas could be persuaded to unite in the proper quantities the composition of sugar would be exactly initiated. Hitherto no ono has been able to make sugar by mixing water with two kinds of gas, but M Pellegrini claims to have succeeded. The apparatus he uses con- sists of large block of pnInice stone, cleansed by soaking first in sulphurio acid and then i'll water, which is set in an iron box plated with nickel inside. The length of the box is three times that of the pumice stone block, which is tightly fitted ill the middle and pipes are arranged to convey tho ingredients to the empty ends of the box, as requir- ed. Two of them enter from the sides and serve to bring carbonic acid and hydrocarbon gas, while another pipe from above branches so as to reach both empty portions of the box and conveys steam. All the pipes are fitted with valve and pressure gauges
 Another pipe Ut the bottom of the box serves as an outlet At first this pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe from above, and carbonic acid is forced into one end of the box, while ethylene gas is forced into tho other under equal pressure and ill equal volumes A few minutes later tho steam valve above is opened and the steam forced in under the same pressure. As the gases unite the pressure falls, so that the supply of each must be kept constant. At the end of half an hour the supply of gas is shut off, the outlet pipe is opened and one of the chambers is found to Dc filled with sirup containing 25 per cent of sugar. The sirup is drawn off for refining, and as soon as tho apparatus is cool It is ready for fresh charge The ethy- lene gas can be obtained by roasting rosin or grease, but M. Pellegrini's pat ent covers other hydrocarbons, such as 1 petroleum products The explanation is that the three gases are condensed In the pores of the pumico stone and there unite American Architect.

give the people, either by special con
v%ention, or by Legislative vote, a chance
to no amend the Federal Constitution as
to permit and provide for such mode.
We are satisfied that if such an amend

suffragists in the Union, they would en-
dorse it by an overwhelming majority.
We wish therefore that Congress would
take the necessary action for q test vote

Nevada Az An OBJECT LESSON.

We assert what We know, and testify
that which We have seen, when We say
that the characterization Of silver in 1873
no matter how or BY whom compass
ed-was the greatest crime against the
masses OF the Uuited State that has beer
perpetrated since the late war; and that
in some respects it was rs reasonable.
Those who were the immediate agsn-
cies IN its consuhiation-Americsn asen-
cies We nieanAof t-ourse-went into the
job with more shacklss to fasten upon
their intended, white slaves, than the
war took eff the negroes of the South.
They did it Tor the gold it would bring
to them, regardless Of the consequences
1t would entail to the country, to civil
ization and sound morality!
The better element Of American Lit-
izenship sees the wrong more plainly
now than ever, and are surrounding
their hoae-altars and there registering
their osths before Almighty God, that
their liberties 30 remorselessiy struck
down, must and shall BE- reclaimed, re-
stored. secured, and that forever.
On this point, as looking to that end
and result, Nevada's political action in
1894 ha pointed, unambignous, en-
phatic object lesson. Not only so, but
it 10 q pronounced endorsement of the
rat.aut action of the GREATEST Trib,,na of
the people, the masses the Taxpayers.
the burden-bearers, the union-savers
who has come to their assistance since
