A REMARK ABOUT SAM JONES.

REMARK ABOUT SAM JONES.
A celebrated doctor, at the head
of a seminary, had wife who com.
planned about an old cook, saying:
Husband we must dispose of Aunt
Mary. Her temper is too bad, she
has gotten so she talks back a" This
husband knew when and where to
answer his wife and said nothing.
Next morning at break fast his wife
handed him cup of coffee, he
looked up smilingly and said:
"Wife, this is an elegant cup of
coffee, has a splendid aroma, and is
really delicious. Didn't Aunt
Mary make this coffee?" Then the
doctor took up nice light roll,
broke it open and said: "What a
nice roll this is, so productive of
digestion and health, simply
SPLENDID. Didn't Aunt Mary
make these roils?" His wife re.
piled, "Yes, husband. "Will you
have piece of steak?" said he to
his wife, 'It ia so we'll cooked, and
juicy and nice? By the.way, wife,
didn't Aunt Mary cook this
steak?" To which she re.
piled, eyes" "By-the.way said
the wife, "husband, we will keep
Aunt May, she scolds at times,
and shows bad temper, but it will
be hard to get cook who will make
as nice coffee, as good biscuits, and
cook as good steak. Do you "get

hard things, digs the ground up,
and makes the far fly; but, after
all, does he not tell the truth? Sam

said that "we trade in everything"
and this fellow, doubtless living in

badly needed, thought we could ship

to have people write to US about
anything, and would be more than
glad to ship college, but the fellow
failed to state whether he wanted a

whether he wants to pay cash, or

The result of the analyses of the SO samples
of finished syrup are given in table VII. It
will be noticed that in Series 2, 3, & 4 the
amount Of inversion is small and in 3 is par
t~icularly uniform in Series 5. the inversion
is very great in this case The manufacture
was admittedly defective If we omit Series
8 and take the average of the remaining -
samples we find the inversion TO average 1852
per cent of the sugar in the juice. And this
may be taken as afigure which should not be
exceeded in the manufacture Of muScovado
sugar with an open battery for conc@l rating
and steam pan for completing the evaporation.
, 1894-04-07

It is hoped that these figures will throw
considerable light on the manufacture of mus
covado sugar from a scientific point of view;
they will prove useful in judging the
efficiency of any particular boiling Ihouse and
assist in tracing and curing defects; making
a liberal allowance it may be conceded that
the inversion of the muscovado process should
be below 4 per cent Of the sucrose in the juice
and that in practice in well managed houses
it probably lies between 3 and 4 per cent,
when dealing with juice Of good quality.

We bow with humble snbnlis-
sion to the Gold Miner, in nc
cepting ths beautiful titles with
which It SO gracionsly crowned
the people Of Cottonwood, who
cannot see things in the Light of
it's own wise self; but we do
most respectfully beg to remind
the brother that the people
have not yet surrendered the
right of judging for themselves
to the very superior intelligence
of our contemporary, We would
ask the G. NJ. to tell us if the
proposed Kendrick road is not in
the interest Of town or two on
the PrairieY Tell Us how we
are going to build road through
the reserve without the grant OF
a right OF way, and if fhe right
of way is granted, how can the
road be laid so as to not run
d:agonally through almost every
section Of land on the entire
route, Please state to the pro-
moters OF this scheme that, as
soon as the reserve is surveyed,
the largest portion of the road
will have to be relaid at the ex-
pense of Idaho and Nez Perce
counties. We are "Mossbacks
and soreheads," but are willing
to be taught, provided that the
teaching is not so expensive that
we cannot measure up to the
demand. Indeed, we cannot but
feel that this county has burdens
enough to be borne by the tax
payers, without taxing the peo-
pie by subscription and assess
ment to build up individual and
corporate interests.

Criaig's Mt. Libeled.

Some parties, with more i'm
agination than forethought, have
been trying to make it appear
that the people in the vicinity of
Mason were poverty stricken,
and attempted to raise petition
to the County Commissioners for
an appropriation for road work,
thereby furnishing assistance to
the suffering. The petition fail
ed for the reason that there were
no sufferers to sign it.
Such selfish chicanery is a
disgrace to the instigators and a
stigma on the community, CON
sidering the fact that there is no
suffering. People generally are
living more economical and
there are some who have not yet
got their ranches under cultiva-
ton that will want work, which
is a usual thing with them.
The community is really in as
good condition as at any time
since the first settling, and if the
road supervisor and a few politi-
cal aspirants can manage to pull
through the rest will not be far
behind. Morever, if the scheme
had carried nothing could have
been realized for road work be-
fore the meeting of the County
Board in July, which would be
a long time for starving person
to wait. While we welcome any
thing in the way of improve
ment and mutual benefit, there
is no desire to be enrolled on the
pauper list.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1894,
The excitement in Congress
over the veto of the Bland coin
age bill is not SO evident to the
casual observer as it was a day
or two ago, but it is there all
the same. The silver men are
doing more thinking than talk
ing; that's why the excitement
is not SO apparent. To say
what they will do is mere guess
work; they have not decided
themselves yet. The talk ofput-
ting a free coinage amendment
on the tariff bill is premature.
