The prediction is made in both
Democratic and Republican quar-
tiers that there will not be defec-
ton enough from the ranks of
either on account Of the free silver
heresy to cut any figure. This
may be true, but if it is there will
be some mighty fine engineering
done within the next eighteen
months. The people will only be
weaned from that fallacy by a
strong dose Of good times.

That monetary convention at
Memphis, next month this time,
will be in the nature Of test as to
how far the free silver movement
is likely to carry the Democratic
party in the Mississippi valley.
That it will not carry them to a
victory in the National councils of
the party is almost certain. That
convention is for the sound money
Democrats, but it will test the
question Just the same.

From the tone of the comments
on that deluge that swept the
Moody and Sankey tabernacle at
Fort Worth out of its mooring 5
it is evident that the prayers for
rain were a little too strong. This
is an exhibition of faith that is
not desired. Zeal without knowl-
edge is dangerous even in TeXas.

the opinion that having been in
vestigated by the City Council it is
in order for him to investigate the
City Council through the courts
The absolute Indifference with
which the Council has treated all
attempts of Mr.. Mackey to get
redress for the occupancy of his
grounds by the city, is enough to
provoke man of more Job-like
disposition than the Captain.

CHAMELEON FACES.

Ladies' Who Paint Should be Careful
About Attending Chemical Lectures.
The other week large and fashionable
audience assembled in Paris lecture
hall to heaF one of a series of lectures de-
liyered by a celebrated professor OF
chemistry. At the conclusion of the lect-
ure a lady and gentleman who were
among the first to leave the hall had
reached the open air, when the lady
caught her escort staring hard at her.
what is the matter?'' asked madame,
in surprise.
pardon me, but you are quite blue"'
The lady returned to the hall and ap-
preached a mirror. She started back in
horror. The rouge upon her cheeks had
been converted into BEAUTIFUL blue by
the chemical decomnosition which had
taken place under the influence of the
gases which had been generated during
the lecture.
The majority of the women in the audi
ence had suffered in a similar manner
There were all sorts of colors-blue, vel
low, violet and black. Some whose vani-
ty had induced them to put ivory on the
skin, coral on the lips, rouge on the
cheeks and black ON the eyebrows had
undergone ludicrous transformations

Consumption Of Champagne.

Lemon Hart, an Englishman now in
Washington, says: THE worlds con-
sumption of champagne amounts to
about 21,O0O,000 quart bottles per an
mum. England is the greatest buyer of
the sparkling fluid and the United States
comes next. Formerly Australians were
financial depression in in that hate corner Of the
globe they have bought very moderately.
The French care very little for cham
payne, and in Paris Americans and
Englishmen are about the oply people
who call for it. The French prefer their
cheap still wines from habit and from
motives of economy. They are too thrift
ty people to indulge in extravangance
in eating and drinking. Americans and
Britons drink wine, I think, mostly to
produce exhilaration of spirits, while
the French have so much natural gayety
of disposition that they don't need it."

GOLD IN ROTTEN QUARTZ.
Fortune Pounded Out in Hand Mortar
Within Two Months.

Fortune Pounded Out in Hand-Mortars
Within Two Months.
Michael O'Hearne, an old-time Com
stock miner, arrived on the last
steamer from Alaska on his way tc
New York, carrying with him $4,000
in Alaskan gold, pounded out of decom-
posed quartz in a hand mortar, says a
dispatch from Portland, Or, to the San
Francisco Call.
Eighteen months ago O'Hearne, his
brother Peter, formerly an underground
man in the Richmand mine at Eureka,
New, and Henry Morehouse of Plumas
county, Cal, went to Juneau, engaging
in prospecting throughout the gold-beaf-
ing country in that region, with anything
but success.
Early last June they started out on
what they resolved to be their last pros
pecting tour in the cold north unless
they struck something. On this trip,
however, great luck accompanied them.
In the mountains, some sixty miles from
Juneau, they stumbled upon a quantity
of decomposed quartz, glistening with
metal. Setting to work the three men
at a depth of fifteen feet, discovered q
well-defned ledge of possibly the richest
decomposed gold quartz that has ever
been found in that part of the earth.
O'Hearne said that in less than sixty
days he and his partners pounded out
100000 with two small hand mortars
He says the rock will run 100000 per
ton and that there are millions in sight
in that mine

Eyeless Fish from a Well.

Workmen engaged in putting down an
eight-inch artesian well on the ranch of
Bufford and Williams, near Ora Granda,
San Juan valley, Southern Colorado, had
been d:.illed to a depth of 1873 feet when
all Of a sudden their tools appeared to
penetrate cavern filed with water under
high pressure. Drills, rods, ropes and
pulleys were thrown high in the air and
scattered in all directions by the torrent
of water, which spouted from the opening.
The excitement was intense for some
minutes, but when quiet was again re
stored it was found that the ground was
literally covered with small, eyeless fish,
white lizards and clear-colored bugs that
had been forced from their homes in the
pent-up reservoir beneath On careful
examination it was found that the water
had temperature of SS degrees and was
strongly impregnated with medicinal
salts-St Louis Renublic

Bicycle Craze.

An enthusiast thus explains the bicycle
craze: What makes the bicycle so pop
ular with all classes of people? Cheap
ness? No; the trolley or cable is cheaper.
Speed? No. If one merely wants to
travel fast there is the railroad. Luxury
No. The brougham is far ahead of the
bicycle on that score. And yet people
with all these things at their command
have taken to bicycling with great fervor.
1t must be because Of the outdoor exer-

door comprehends infinite space, and as
for forms of exercise-Well, they are with

of the lack of either outdoor or methods
of exercise in it. The secret seems to lie

New use for Cottonseed ell.

An expert says that there is fine field
in the South for the establishment of
plants for making what he calls dressing
yolk." This is the technical name for the
dressing placed on cakes, pies, biscuits,
etc., to give them an attractive finish.
After a careful trial he is convinced that
the preparation which can be made from
cotton seed oil is far superior to that de-
rived from eggs alone The yolk made
from the oil will probably take the place
of the ordinary preparation, for besides
being better subst..Ice for the purposes
of pastry cooks, it can be put into the

the train at the station where the con
ductor knew the first passenger would
disembark. The conductor had pre-
viously sold the seat to third passen-
ger and oyerruled the claims Of the Sec

that the first passenger had paid a sum
sufficient to cover the rides of himself

for damages the jury found for the first
and second passenger. Railroad attorneys
doubt the legality of the decision, point
ing out the fact that it would allow a

to transfer his seat to succeeding pas

off as the other boarded the car.

InsoIes for Horses.

We saw a lot of old used up leather
day, and on inquiring as to their dispo-
sition were informed that good por-
ton of them would go to the farrier's
for insertion between the horses hoof
and the shoe. Any pieces of sufficient
thickness were used for making flexible
insoles, but the ordinary run of old belt
ing will not answer for the purpose.
One would not suppose, when he sees a
blacksmith put piece Of leather be-
tween the shoe and hoof, that the sup
plying of the leather material was a
regular branch of business. 1t is only
another illustration of how dependent we
are upon little things, the existence of
which we hardly think of.-Boston Com

A Paving Case.


That famous steer case of Penley VS..
Besse is now being tried for the third
time at the Supreme court in Auburn,
and it is estimated that each Of the liti-
giants has expended already a matter of
about $500 in centesting over the re-
mains of a bullock worth, at his best,
1920. Both are wealthy men, however,
and they are in it for the principle of
the thing. On Tuesday, during recess,
a brother attorney came and, speaking
to the two opposing counsel who were
sitting in the attorneys room, said,
Look out in there. Your clients are
having a talk together. If you don't
watch out they will be settling that case
between themselves" Each attorney
started in mock alarm and rushed into
the courtroom. The joke lasted the rest
of the forenoon. The first time the case
was tried the jury disagreed. The second
time the verdict was for the plaintiff,
but the law court set aside the verdict
and now they are trying for the best
two out of three, not including the dead
heat.-Lewiston Journal.

Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men rarely admire beautiful
invalid, but they do admire a woman in
whom is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
etc, keep it company.

surprised when Mr.. Roberts presently
opened a small trap-door in his bat,
which the ball had entered.

General KnowIedge.

hears of certain young woman who was
anxious to impress her friends with her
knowledge in general and her French
in particular. She sought and obtained
an interview with noted woman writer.

relating the story of the call, chow was
she dressed?" ooh, WE'LL" she an
swered "she wasn't dressed UP much in
the morning. She just wore her nom de

had been remiss in returning a neighbor-

"Well, really, you must excuse me, for
we have had sickness and death in the
family and vice versa"
