The new postage stamps, to which
collectors have been looking forward,
will be put in circulation about Oct. /.
The only difference from the present
design will be in the corners above the
medallion. which are plain in the
present stamps, but which in the new
ones will contain a little triangular
decoration. The %colors, too, may pos
sibly be changed to green for the one
cent, red for the two cent and blue
the FIVE cent, in accordance with the
general recommendation of the inter-

Nothing is useless nowadays-not
even a defunct pauper. The poorhouse
guardians know better than to act
~recklessly often the pauper is the pos
SCISSOR OF a set OF artificial teeth which
contains a good deal of gold-last relic
Of mor prosperous times-and in the
interest of the ratepayers the precious
metal must be secured and turned into
C 8. d. Often, too, they are the own
ers of rings or tiny tinkets, not pawn
able, but still containing as much
auriferous value rs not q few modern
gold mines. These have to be collected
and also converted into cash by means
of a melting pot. In the Holborn
Union the melting process takes place
once a year, and has just been accom-
plished for the present season. The
jewelry dealt with is what is found on
paupers who died ~friendless and I'M
claimed in its various establish
ments. This week rings, chains,
brooches and trinkets have been
melted down, and produced a bar
Of gold, estimated as IL carat, and
worth about f40. A good proportion
of it was got from the plates of arti-
fetal teeth. Mr.. Walton said that on
one set of artificial teeth there was at
least "a worth Of gold. The proceeds
are paid into the common exchequer

Married Life fm India.

An educated Hindoo gentleman. a
graduate from one of the universities,
said to an English friend: "Your
government did not know what ii was
doing when it abolished the burning
of wives on their husbands funeral
pyre The fact is, We were obliged to
introduce that measure to prevent our
wives from poisoning u.s." This is a
beautiful side light on the condition of
things in India, and it is a sword that
cuts both ways, for it not only reveals
the cunning Of bad men for their own
safety, but shows the sort oil husbands
they rus, be whom wives would
poison il the penalty were not TO be
burnt aliye.-Boston Woman's Jour

WARSAW. Aug. 1.-THE coal mines
near Dombrowa. Poland. are burning
and several hundred miners are en-
tombed. All are reported beyond
hope of rescue. The fire started in
the mines yesterday afternoon from
an explosion Of gas. The main shaft
was wrecked. A full force was work

few miners escaped. The latest re-
port is that seven hundred men are
entombed and all hopes of saving them
have been abandoned. The Franco

CHEAP REDUCTION or ORES.

The present outlook convinces the
New Era that Kennedy will teach the
State a lesson in the cheap reduction
Of ores. The operators now in camp
are men who come with an experience
Of many years in the progressive min
ing fields Of Montana, Idaho, Dakota
and Colorado, and have even a knowl-
edge Of the modus operandi Of the
South African developers.
Nevadans have been in a rut Of de-
spond for q number Of years, and al
though in the earlier days they taught
the world lessons in milling, Of late
they have fallen behind the onward
march OF science and the chemistry Of
the successful reduction Of ores Of every
class.

advantages Of concentration the

Senator Murphy, who has been an
inveterate smoker for many years, has
"sworn off" for awhile and has not
lighted a cigar for several days. Dur
ing the protracted sessions of the Sem

bill was under consideration, Mr.. Muir
ply smoked as many as 81 cigars in
one day. This Of course vas above the
average, but the number consumed by
him daily was very large, as he often
smoked five or six in rapid succession.

The warmth OF Summer tends to
biliousness and %fevers. and the free
use Of fruits c~ounteracts this tendency.
This is because the acids OF the fruit
help to facilitate the separation Of the
bile from the blood, a process slack
ened by the approach Of hot weather.
Fruits are cooling" is an expression
often used. but why this is so very few
understand. They are 80 because the
acid OF the fruit stimulates the liver to
greater activity in separating the bile
from the blood. which is its proper
work, the result Of which is the bowels
become free, the pores Of the skin are
open. and under such conditions fever
and want Of appetite are impossible.

Il AT nAnILION.

The White Pine News Of August 1lth
says; From a letter received by A.
ID. Campton from J. b. Mathewson Of
Hamilton, we learn that the livery
barn and the Carbstein buchershop
between the barn and the Withing-
ton building burned to the ground last
Sunday morning about 5 O'Clock. The
fire burned all Of the Elko & White
Pine Transportation Company's hay
and barley, consisting Of about eight
tons Of barley, twenty tons Of hay,
n double harness, two single hsr-
nesses, and several other articles be-
longing TO their business. Mathewson
brothers delivery sleigh and q a be-
longing 10 J.. b. Mathewson were also
consumed. Doc. Holmes, who drives
stage between Ely and Hamilton,
states that the fire started in that por-
ton Of the barn In which the hay was
stored, and 1t spread so rapidly that
before help could be summoned the
fire was past control, leaving him
barely time to get the horses out Of
reach Of the fierce flames. The fire
swept everything before it, and il was
only with the greatest caution and
diligence on the part Of those present
that 1t was prevented from spreading
and reducing the town Of Hamilton to
ashes. The property destroyed, we
understand, was not insured, and is,
consequently, a total loss to the own
ers. The Elko & White Pine Transpor-
tation Company, is the greatest loser,
and unless business changes msteri-
ally for the better IL will require the
labor OF O years time 10 repair the loss.

old gentleman. land / am good for q

The clerk went on with the registra-
ton and the remainder Of the ques-
tons, but every once in awhile he
looked up as il doubling the age Of the
voter. Dimond was soon surrounded
by a crowd Of ne wspaper men, Mayor
Ebert and other city officials, who put
many questions to him.
He stated he was q railroad builder
and built the first road from
Worcester to Boston. He was an in
innate friend OF Governor Van Wyck
Of New York. He amused his hearers
by telling them what Governor Van
Wyck when the first steamer passed
up the Hudson river: "Get the chill
dren and 90 out into the hayfields; the
devil is coming up the river with q
sawmill on his back"
This created considerable laughter
and the old gentleman seemed to en-.
joyed il himself. He also stated that
he never smoked or drank liquor in
his life nor was he ever married. He
is proud Of the fact that he is still able
to walk long distances and can handle
a pistol with steadiness to send a jack
rabbit rolling down hill.
AS Mr.. Dimond left the registration
Office he was the center Of attraction
and was followed by an admiring

The Washington News says that
Senator Cockrell OF Missouri especially
prides himself upon never forgetting a
name or face, and SO marked is this
trait that his friends say he can visit
the house OF any OF his constituents
after an unlimited absence and speak
to each member Of the family by name.
But no man is Invaluable, and this
Senator Cockrell discovered on accost-
ing one OF his constituents while at
home recently, whose name he tried
every mean possible to remember,
but unsuccessfully. Finally he hit
upon what he considered a solution Of
the difficulty and under the guise Of
taking the constituents name down
for the purpose Of sending him some
documents he asked him to spell it.
He was almost staggered when he
received the reply, Jones'" Oh"
said the Senator, II mean your first
name"
Then again came another staggsr
when the constituent replied, VIII
