Rocky Mountain Frank Dead.
VIM. b. Franklin. better known as
Rocky Mountain Frank, died at his
home in Keystone, this county on
Thursday, November 18th OF hemorage
of the stomach.
Franklin was well known IN mining
circles in every part of the Hills. He
was the discoverer of the Holy Terror
mine and was still an owner in it at the
time OF his death. He was a character
peculiarly his own; wild and reckless
and in many things much to be admired.
He has lived and mined in all OF the
western states and territories and in his
death the Hills looses one OF the old
time p%rcspectors and a character pecu-
liar to the early frontier days. May the
weaknesses and follies of VIM. B. Frank
lin be forever buried in the grave where
il lies all that is earthly OIL i n and may
his many good qualities ever live in the
memories OF Il generous humanity.

to destroy these Obstructive pests.
I. M. Humphrey this week disposed OF
about 800 head Of Arizona cattle, in
small punches to the ranchers who are
able to feed and take care OF them; these
cattle require q little more attention
during the winter than native cattle.

How weGo to Sleep.


.'Order isheayen's first law" and
the truth is manifested even in the
process OF going TO sleep. When a
man drops off to slespy says the Gin
ainnati Medical journal, his body does
not do 30 all at once, SO to speak.
Some senses become dormant before
others, and always in The same order.
AS he becomes drowsy the. eyes close
and the sense of seeing is at rest. 1t is
quickly followed by the disappearance
of the sense of taste. He next loses
the sense of smell and then. after o
short interval, the tympanum becomes
insensible to sound, or rather the
nerves which run to the brain from it
foil to arouse any sense of hearing.
The last sense to leave is that of touch,
and In some hypersensitiye people 1t
is hardly ever dormant. Even in their
case, however, there is no discriminat-
ing power or sense OF what touched
them. This sense is also the first to
setnrn upon awakening. Then bearing
follows suit, after that taste, and then
the eyes become able to flash impress
sions back to the brain. The sense Of
smell, oddly enough, though it is by
no means the first to go, is the last to
come back. The same gradual loss OF
power is observed in tine muscles and
sinews as we'll as in the senses. Slum-
Der begins at the feet and slowly
spreads up the limbs and trunk until
it reaches the brain, when unconscious,
ness is complete and the whole body is
st rest. This is why sleep is impossi.
bic when the feet are cold.

Artificial Marble.

Nine-tenths of the handicapped
tables and so on-what I might call
furniture marble-seen in this coun-
try, are made of artificial marble, said
g man in the trade.
Thousands of tons of this mock mar
bic are made annually, and even men
in the trade can scarcely tell the aif-
ference between the real and the false
article, for the. markings, or mar
blings, go wholly through the block,
and arc not merely superficial. The
basis OF the whole is combination Of
limestone and chalk, which, chemical
ly treated, can be made of any shade
desired. The artificial marble in the
rough is placed in a water bath, and
upon This is sprinkled sort of warm
ish, consisting of sesquioxide of iron,
gum, and turpentine, and all manner
of marbled designs are produced when
the iurpentine is broken up by the ad-
dition of water.
Any pattern of marbling can be pro-
duced to order. Once such pattern
appears, the air is expelled from the
block, and the colors are fixed by the
immersion OF the stone in sulphate
and warm water baths, and then an
other bath OF sulphate and zinc SO
closes mp the pores and hardens the
stone that it acquires the density of
the natural article, and can be cut and
polished in the same mnnner.-Ex.

DORKINGS,

This variety of fowl has existed
practically unchanged for over two
thousand years, and is still the most
popular breed in England, where even
the most mongrel specimens of fowl
generally exhibit some traces of Dork.
ing blood and characteristics. In this
country they are but little known, as
they do not thrive well here, and the
chicks are delicate and difficult to rear.
This may be partly owing to ignorance
of their habits and peculiarities and
partly owing to the fact that they
have been closely inbred, owing to
the trouble and expense of procuring
fresh blood from abroad.
The secret OF the popularity of the
Dorking is her merits as table fowl.
The meat is very tender, juicy, of fine
flavor and grain, while the breadth,
depth, fulness and plumpness of the
breast make the birds unequalled as
producers of breast meat. The
peculiar build and characteristics of
the breed have called forth the re-
mark that this variety occupies the
same place among fowl that the short
horn does among cattle. The Dorking
would be at disadvantage in America
owing to its having white legs and
skin instead of the popular yellow
ones. The fowls are poor layers as a
rule. though there are some excep-
tions. There are three varieties of
Dorkings-the colored, the silver gray

When onions get ripe their tops
break down, and they should be pulled

Tho CluYe Tree.

Probably every living plant has
some insect or animal that lives on it
or from it; somo creatures subsist on
the leaves of one plant, some on the
leaves of others, some gnaw the bark,
some the root, some eat the fruit, and
few make use of all parts; but man
consumes and destroys an immense
variety of vegetables aud vegetable
products. Fruit flowers, leaves,
roots, buds, bark and stems of differ
ent plants are selected in turn. The
Glove which we use as o spice is the
flower bud of tree that is native of
the Molucca Islands.
The Glove tree is one of the myrtle
family OF plants. 1t attains hight
of some forty feet, and in its native.
place lives to an age of from 100 to
200 years.
The Glove tree is now cultivated on
many of the islands OF the Indian
Ocean, but it no where grows so large
or lives so long as on the small group
Of islands where it was originally
found. 1t hos trunk quite straight,
with light, olive-colored bark, and
at about half its hight it puts out its
branches almost at right angles and
they bear heavy mass of foliage, the
leaves being narrow and resembling
those of the laurel. The general ap-
pearance of the tree Is quite formal,
being that of on almost perfect cone
supported by straight stem. The
trees in the plantation are set in reg
ular rows, from ten to fifteen feet
apart each way. The flowers aro
formed in terminal clusters OF dozen
or more. The flower buds are pickel
when fully formed and before they
open, and are spread out thinly in th,
shade and dried where no rain can fall
on them. They are dried partly by
the natural heat OF the air and partly
by wood fires. When first picked
they are of reddish, color, but turn
brown in drying.
The fruit is berry and is gathered
when green and then dried, after which
it is known as mother cloves and is
sent to some extent to this country
and Europe, but is principally used
in China and other Eastern countries.
The ripe fruit in size and shape re-
sembles small olive, and is OF o dark
red color and contains one or two
seeds. 1t hos the Glove flavor in
mild degree, as have also the bark,
the wood and the leaves, none of
them, however, being equal to the
bud in this respect.-Detroit Free

. Blcyclist Chased by a Cow,

Wheelman McAllister left Port Jer-
Wis, N. Y, for ride to Stroudsburg,
Penn. He had completed more than
three-quarters of his journey without
accident of any kind, aud was riding
leisurely toward Marshall's Greek,
when he came in sight Of three COWS.
In few seconds he had passed the
animals and was going along. He
heard the sound of hoofs behind him,
and turning around, saw cow COM
ing after him at a furious rate.
Tired with his long ride in the sun,
the wheelman could not squirt and the
beast soon caught up to him. Getting
alongside the bike, she let fly with her
leg, smashing the front wheel. She
then tried to push the rider off his
wheel, lacersting his leg in bad shape.
The man managed to break away and
get to place of safety, leaving the COW
with the wheel. The animal tried in
vain to get the machine up with her
horns. After several Intellectual at
tempts she gave contemptuous snort
and ran off after her companions, -.

THE MILK TESTER.

The English agriculturist is slow to
|. take advantage of modern scientific
discoveries aud inventions. Even
the cream separator, the principle
and utility of which are universally
understood, has not yet come into
general use in this country. AS for
the milk tester, Its very name is un.
known to thousands of British
farmers. Yet the value of this simple
and inexpensive appliance to every
one who owns milch cattle is incal-
culable, and its employment is doing
more to advance the dairying in
dustry in America and elsewhere than
perhaps even the separator itself.
Mere quantity of milk does not give
any clue as to the butter-producing
capability of COW. But by the tester
the percentage of butter fat in each
cows milk is ascertained, with hardly
any labor and with absolute accuracy,
before the milk is poured into the
common receptacle for butter-making
purposes.
The dairyman who has no tester
merely knows the quantity of butter
his COWS produce in the aggregate; he
has no clue as to the value of each in
dividual cow in the herd. With the
tester, on the other hand, he knows
exactly how much butter each indi-
vidual cow produces from every gallon
of it's milk. By this means he is en-
abled to Gull his herd, replacing poor
butter producers by good ones. The
poor COW costs just as much for food
and attention as the good ones, but
the annual monetary returns of the
two animals show wide margin of
difference. Moreover, a good butter
COW produces good butter stock, and
SO, from his knowledge acquired from
the use of the milk tester, the breeder
of dairy stock is enabled to select the
proper calves to rear and the proper
ones to reject.
In this way it becomes perfectly
possible, as has been actually done on
farms in Vermont and elsewhere in
the United States, to grade upa dairy
herd from On average production per
COW of $50 pounds of butter per
annum to an average OF 800 pounds
and over. With these figures before
him, even the layman will grasp the
value of such an invention to each in
dividual farmer who uses it. But let
US reflect what are the money adj
vantages of the system when spread
over the 1000 farms that contribute to
such o creamery as that of st. Albans,
Vt; what the gain to the whole of
that great dairying State; what the
enhanced profit to the vast dairying
industry of America. We're the milk
tester IN universal use throughout
Great Britain and Ireland the capital.
lied value of our dairy herds might
be.increased in few years time fully
twenty-five per cent. If, then, the
British farmer does not eagerly avail
himself of such an invention con he
fairly grumble at being ousted from
his own markets by his fo1eign COM
titor2-Westminster Review.
