AN FLpoBADo OF GOLD.
Near the Summit Of the Lofty Casca des
where Two Counties Lock Hands, the
Treasure Lies.

Near the Summit Of the Lofty Casca des
Whore Two Counties Lock Hands, the
Treasure Lies.
Among the tip top of the Cascades,
where Whatcom and Okanogan coun-
ties join hands amid rugged peaks and
glaciered rocks; neaf what is known
as Slate creek, two young men from
Anacortes have discovered one Of the
richest gold mines in the state, says
the Spokane Chronicle. Their names
are Baron and Gerrish, their initials
and lineage yet unknown, for they have
made the mountain wilderness their
home since finding their fort me there.
Wandering up the beautiful and
picturesque Methow valley, near Ne
~valtree and the Great Northern rail-
way, about six months ago, these young
men and a companion, keeping close to
the foot hills, now and then pros
pecting a deep rugged gulch that
dropped from the summit of the
mountains, tapped many projecting
lodges Of rock in search for gold and
silver. When they had reached a
point high up the valley, almost at
the summit of a snow capped peak
their search ended in the discovery OF
n veritable Eldorado. They found a
ledge of gold rock which, for richness
and quantity has few equals. At least
this is the tale told by persons who
have seen 1t and have come to Spokane
to spend the winter.
When the find was made no time
was lost in getting to work on H. The
ledge was stripped thirty-two feet and
a cross cut was made. The rock
throughout was found to be richly i'm
pregnated with gold. Portions of the
ledge was found to be decomposed and
the boys put in an old-fashioned rock
err which they kept going all summer,
Notwithstanding they had to carry
water in buckets from a spring far
down the mountain side.
But they were bountifully paid for
their trouble. In this way alone when
last heard from they had washed out
over $4,000 in gold and had scarcely
made an impression on the bed Of
golden ashes.
This tale seems almost incredible,
but Michael Shuman, who has sIpNnt
two or three years in the lower Meth
ow and IN Squaw creek says he saw
it ard it is considered among mining
men to be the finest property ever dis
covered anywhere in the country.
Already SHOW has covered the rocks
and peaks around the Eureka, for that
the claim is called, to the depth of sew
eral feet and ingress and egrcss can
be accomplished only on snow shoes.
But down at the head of the Methow
valley, where the high walls of the
mountain shut out the bleakness OF
winter and the air is full Of warmth
and moisture, a little town has com
menced to grow, a-dozen people have
built log cabins there and are domicil'
ed for the winter. When again the
summer solstice comes round and
snow and ice turn to laughing brooks
and rushing rivers and the blue sides
of the mountains are bare again, this
little village, of miners, yet without. q
home, will disband and 60 out to fine
their fortunes in companions to the
great Eureka.

The Icewafer Treatment

Certain French physicians cure colds
by applying ice to the spine. Prof.
Pictet last week put before the Acade-
my of Medicine the whole system of
frigotheraupeutics. He began by eX-
perimenting on dogs, and found that
when they We're plunged into a bath
of low temperature and We're kept
there for some time they became raw
enously hungry. Being himself a suf-
ferer from stomach disease he had for
gotten what it was to have an appe-
tite. So he descended into the refrig-
Grating tank at 81 temperature many
degrees below zero. He wrapped il
thick pelisse and other warn clothes
about him, but after four minutes he
began to feel hungry. At the end of
eight minutes he climbed out of the
tank with a painfully keen appetite.
Many such experiments were made.
All meals taken, after a short stay i'll
the refrigerator, agreed with him.
He found that his dyspepsia was cur
ed after the tenth descent.

Hoods i;%::;;s'fii' Cures
Girls Who Attract Men.

The girls who attract the best men
are almost always a source of surprise
to their feminine friends, who are often
lost in wonder as to why so many
more patent charms should have been
passed over in such selections, writes
Mrs. Burton Harrison In the January
Ladies' Home Journal. 1t is the little
nous Of a woman, the shrinking, shy
creature left in the background by her
holder sisters, we constantly see
brought to the front by the
man who has won her
love. And men prefer to any such
coquettish invitation as tnat extended
by Mrs. Bond of the Nursery rhyme to
her ducks whGm decueing them to come

around a b'ting to VII IN they have to
sue.
Every 'Man's ideal of a wife-I mean
the ]" fmal, honest citizen Of our
Repur ic, who looks forward to making
port its hu1wark-is a girl who may be
Tfetty, who might be brilliant, but
who must he god. He also recognizes
hnstinctively that her grace should not
be too costly to wear every day. That
she shall be cheerful of temper, in
,clined to take short views of human
infrmity, and sound Of health, he is
apt gravely to consider, within himself,
as essential. If all those who, before
marrying, as essential. If all those
who, before marrying. omitted to think
about these things had done so, it is
possible we should hear less to-day OF
the incompatibility Of man and WON

CLERK WAS TOO ABRUPT,

Unknowingly Spoke to President Gle We
land In u Very Impertin"nt tanner.
Once In awhile President Cleveland
gets by Mr.. Thurber and invades the
room occupied by the subordinate
clerks in the white house. On one Of
these occasions recently he went and
stood looking down at the work which
one of the clerks was doing. The man
at work never looked up. He thought
1t was one Of the other clerks who oc-
c~asionally bothered him. What the
devil do you want?" he asked. There
was no response. The other clerks
gasped for breath. A deathlike stiffness
prevailed. and the working clerk looked
up to meet a smile on the countenance
Of the president. In time an explana-
ton followed. but 1t will be a long time
before that white house clerk will ask
a like question until he Is dead sur Of

VENTILATION OF MILLS.

Some Important Factors Necessary to
Successful Effort.
Attention has lately been called to
the necessity. in arrangements for the
ventilation Of mills. Of a careful study
OF the meteorology Of the district-the
extreme range Of temperature and O.
relative humidity being important fac
tors both In dry and wet easons The
maximum range on any day Is impor-
the rate at which humidity In the air
may vary In q working day, the fact
being that there are scarcely two con-
secutive half hours in the day when
the atmosphere Is In the same condi-
ton; that Is. II may be in a perfect
state for spinning and weaving at n
time, and four hours later may have
only one-third Of the necessary amount
Of moisture required for the purpose OF
manufacture. Again. the difference In
the readings Of two thermometers. wet
and dry, is due to the rate Of evapora-
ton OF water from muslin tied around
one bulb; II the air Is very dry, the
evaporation Is rapid and the cooling Is
In proportion, or. II the air is moist.
evaporation Is retarded. and when the
air Is saturated. as during a fog. evap-
grafton stops. and, as there is no COOL
Ing effect on the wet bulb. both Their
mometers will read alike. 1t appears
that some "humidifers" that have done
we'll In England have been failures In
India. The mean differences OF tenn
perature Of the air In India and in Eng
land Is. roughly. 80 degrees F.. SO thai.
comparing the amount Of water re-
quired to saturate air at 62 and at so.
at the higher temperature 1t takes just
2.65 times as much water for the pur-
pose In India as In England.

Why, Fanny. I thought you were so
sick that you could not leave your bed"
said Mrs. Tate to Fanny's sister. She
was assured that Fanny was sick.
After this episode the two sisters,
who had dressed alike, wore different
colors. Amelia chose white and Fanny
pink. and thereafter they were known
as Miss White and Miss Pink. This did
not help matters much. SO far as the
true identity Of the young ladies was
concerned. for It was necessary to re-
member the color Miss Fanny wore and
that adopted by her sister. Mrs. Tate
told a World reporter yesterday that
the resemblance between the two young
ladies was as great mentally as 1t was
physically. They not only had the
same likes and dislikes. but their intel.
lectual capacity was the same. When

TITLES ARE OFTEN CLOUDY.

london world" Explains ths origin Of
Bogus Noblemen
The London World In an article on
foreign mobility" says: In France It
is extremely dificult to draw a hard.
and-fast line between those titles which
are genuine and those which are not.
The utmost which can be done Is to
classify them as odd" new" and
doubtful" This uncertainty clearly
opens a road to the adventurer. He
must take care not to assume too high a
rank or to adopt a name which is too
well known or already belongs to some
historic family. But II he Is content to
name himself after some orchard In
Perigord or Anjou and to style himself
no more than Baron or Vicomte he may
almost defy exposure. even though he
do not escape suspicion. In Italy there
Is a well-defined list of old Roman. Nea-
politan. Piedmontese. and Tuscan fam
lilies. But there Is also the considera-
ton that 1t Is not 30 many years ago
that the minor grades Of nobility might
be obtained by purchase. The republic
OF San Marino raises a regular revenue
by the sale OF titles which possess q
very apparent Italian origin. In AUS
tria up to quite recently the rank of
Baron was sold to all who would pay
the price. In the minor states OF Ger
many and In Prussia. before the for
nation OF the German empire, a very
considerable proportion Of the crea-
lions OF the present century were pur-
chased. The innumerable Jewish baron
les. with curious hybrid names, which
are found all over Western Europe. are
the result Of transfers by needy mon
archs to wealthy %f1nanciers. In Bel
GUM and Holland the same practice
has prevailed to a greater or smaller ex-
tent. and the little republic Of Andorra
still drives a continuous trade in pat
ents OF nobility. Even the g~randeeship
OF Spain has been recruited with self
made men by this means. In order,
therefore, to differentiate the real head
Of an existing family from his needy
cousin who lives by his wits, and both
from the adventurer who has made a
fortune by successful swindling and
adopted a title of his own free will as a
social passport. It might be necessary
to search through many ponderous
tones which only a skilled genealogist
would know where to find and how to
use.

One OF the worst hailstorms this Sec

passed through a portion Of San Pat

day night about 9 o'clock, says the Cor

followed by a heavy rain, lasted only a
few minutes. and while 1t covered a

wide. commencing In San Particle

a good portion of his crop. The worst
report of all comes from Meanwhile.
about seventeen miles from this city,

stones fell as large as goose eggs and

Moore, X. A. Anthony and A. Wilin-
son. Mr.. Moore, who arrived In Corpus
Christi last night. gives a very sorry
account OF the terrible storm, which
completely ruined him. He a he Is
left without a dollar. Last Wednesday
he had growing nicely between ninety
and n hundred acres Of cotton, be-
sides several acres in melons and other
products. He had a good home and
felt easy. That night the hail came
and swept all his crop away except two
acres Of potatoes and one-half acre Of
ribbon corn. The hailstones came down
through the roof OF his house, making
holes large enough to throw a cat
through them. His wife and children
had to take refuge under the bed. His
mother, aged ninety-eight years. saved
her life by getting under the bed also.
The family were nearly frightened to
death, and his wife Is laid up In bed
from the effects OF her experience,
though his mother stood 1t we'll. The
large hailstones. which were Of all
shapes, tore the roof of his kitchen.

Ing. Mr.. Moore says that after the
storm was yer the hail could be seen
banked up In the yard like snow. When
he left home yesterday at II o'clock a
mass Of hail was seen at the corner
OF his house as large as a bucket. His
animals suffered the least: the storm
blew his fences and pig pens down
and his stock ran among the timber
and escaped with little injury.
