While these exercises cannot fail TO
inspire us anew with reverence for Amer
lean motherhood. we viii remember that
we are here 10 do honor to the woman
who gave 10 our nation it's greatest and
best citizen, and that we have the privi-
lege OF participating in the dedication
OF a monument erected by the women OF
our land in loving and enduring testl-
mony 10 virtues OF the mother OF Wash
ington. Let US be proud to-day that the
nobility OF this woman exacted from

the value Of American citizenship. and
with the prayer 10 God that our people
may hold fast to sentiment that grows

others Endurance.
The strangest test of will power and
endurance ever made, said a resident
of the City of Mexico to a Globe
Democrat man, was. in Mexico, the
characters participating being Mex
lean girl and an American man. They
were lovers, and the girls parents re-
fused their consent to any union, in
sisting that she should marry wealthy
Mexican suitor- At the suggestion of
the girl they agreed to die together.
and to test the strength and endurance
of each others love they chose means
of suicide unlike any ever dreamed of
before. Food and fruit were placed on
a table in the center of q room occu-
pied by both, the girl having escaped
from her home, but being unwilling to
elope with her lover. It was agreed
that they should starve to death with
plenty before them, and should either
succumb to nature and partake of the
food then both were. released from the
bond of death, but there should be an
everlasting separation. For twelve
days they endured the pangs of hun
ger without a murmur or a thought Of
wavering from their purpose to die to-
gether. The twelfth day the father of
the girl discovered her whereabouts,
and, breaking the door, they were car
ried out, too faint to stand alone. 1t
took them several days to recover their
strength, and when they did they were

FRoM the ORE,
Some of the Processes in steel and IRON
Manufacture.


Manufacture.
Iron-making is a kind of cookery on
huge scale. The earthly impurities
must be roasted" or melted out from
the iron ore; the necessary carbon
must then be properly mixed in from
the fuel. or the unnecessary carbon
burned out. This is of manufacture,
says r. r. Bowker in Harper's Maga-
zine. A wrought-iron bar or plate is
always obtained from puddle ball, an
aggregation of grains of iron in a
pasty, semi-fused condition, inter
spersed with a greater or lesser
amount of cinder OF Stag. Under the
powerful action of the rolls the grains
are welded together, and a large
part of the cinder is squeezed out, but
enough remains interposed between
the iron granules to prevent them
from welding thoroughly and forming
a homogeneous mass. The welded
Jumps elongate under the process of
rolling, and the resulting bar resem-
bles bunch of iron fibers or sinews
with minute particles of Stag inter
spersed here and there. Such iron
varies in. resistance according to
whether the power is applied with or
against the fiber. Steel is the result of
fusing process. It may be crucible,
Bessemer, or open-hearth steel, but in
all cases it has been cast from thor
oughly melted and fluid state into an
ingot mold, where it solidifes and is
ready for subsequent treatment, such
as hammering or rolling. The Stag
being lighter than the steel, it rises on
top of the melted bath, and does not
mingle with the metal, which remains
clean and unobstructed, and, after be-
ing cast into the mold, cools into a
crystalline homogeneous mass in
which no amount-of rolling can devel-
op a fiber. Thus steel possesses a
structure more regular and compact
than wrought iron. Its resistance to
strains and stresses is more equal in
all directions. and its adaptabihty to
structural use is vastly increased.

Modern Ruths, the Damsels of the
Judean Hills.
A correspondent of the Washington
Star has been doing the Holy land,
and is filed with admiration for the
damsels of Bethlehem. In a recent
letter he writes: 81 don't wonder that
Boaz fell in love with Ruth. The
Bethlehem girls are among the beau
ties of the east and you will find more
pretty girls in the hills of Judea than
in the same amount of territory any
where else the world over. A ship
load of these Bethlehem maidens, if
they could be transported to the great
northwest, would capture the bonanza
farmers of. the Dakotas just as Ruth
captured this great land owner, Boaz

lehem maidens are fair skinned and
bright eyed. They have straight, we'll
rounded forms, which they clothe in
long dresses of white linen SO beauti-
fully embroidered in silk that single
gown requires many months of work.
This dress is much like an American
woman's nightgown, without the frills
and laces. 1t falls from the neck to
the feet, and is open at the front in a
narrow slit as far down as modest
decollette dress. Over this gown they
wear sleeveless cloaks of dark red
stripes, and the head they cover with
a long shawl of linen embroidered
with silk. Each girl wears her dover
on her person in the shape of a neck
lace of coins, and the forehead of each
maiden is decorated with crown of
coins, some of which are silver and
others gold .

uTAH.s lNpIAN LANDS.
Immense Reservations Which Citizens of
the Territory Want Opened.

Immense Reservations which citizens of
the Territory Want Opened.
The Wintah and Uncompahgre In
dian reservations, which Delegate Raw
lins is endeavoring to have opened for
settlement this winter, comprise some
of the richest agricultural and mineral
lands in the territory. There are
about five million acres, probably one
fourth of which is available for agri-
cultural and grazing purposes, and
two hundred and fifty thousand acres
for agricultural purposes alone. There
is an abundance of good water availa-
bic for irrigation and for mining.
The reservations are owned by about
two thousand Indians, who have never
attempted to cultivate those portions
that are tillable and who still live in
state of sayagery. So far their pos
sessions have not been encroached
upon, though they have long been COW
eted. The miners and prospectors can
not long be withheld, for rich minerals
are known to abound there, and neither
fear of Indians nor the power of the
federal government will prevent the
prospectors from examining and sam
pling the mountains.
The citizens of Utah reason that this
clusively to few well fed, lazy In
dians, when it is capable of being
made rich in farms, villages, railroads.
factories and mills. They hold that,
with allotted lands, surrounded by
civilizing influences, these Indians may
become good citizens of the United
States, which they certainly are not
now. They claim that the theory of
capdinu n few white men anlOncr them
to teach them how to farm and read
and tend stock is false one; that only
by contact with the whites and with
different surroundings can they ever
be reclaimed.
There is no attempt to rob the In
dians or to drive them out. The prop
osition is to give them farms in sever
atty, which will all be under bitches
constructed by white men, and thus
they will have practical teaching and
ready markets. Mornons and gentiles
are unit upon the question of utiliz-
ing these reservations.
