Pure Food.

Pure Food.
 Butterine is much abused product. As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building Is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution Is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: "The product is palatable and wholesome and 1 regard it as 8 most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. s. W. Arnold, Medical De. partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

CHAs. A. MERRITT NcANDEsCENT LAMP.
Something New Always Attracts Attention, More Especially When It Is of Gen.
 uine UtiIitY

This time Birmingham. steps to the front with the Merritt Incandescent Lamp, patented by Charles E. Merritt of this city and for many years connected with the postoffice.
 Though recognized as careful and painstaking employe of the government, he has used his spare time in perfecting his lamp of three or more filaments, which, of course. lasts three times as long as the ones now in general use.
 It should be noted that as soon as the single filament in the ordinary lamp has burned out, the whole construction for which the consumer has paid the regular price, becomes worthless, while, on the other hand, the Merritt lamp has three f1laments, and when one is exhausted, by simple contrivance, the current is switched to a fresh filament. and so on until all have been exhausted.
 But, again, should the consumer desire to increase the illumination for any spe- cial occasion, he can just as easily light all three of the filaments, or as many IS need be.
 The extra expense of these lamps is slight when economy Is considered. It was not surprising that the big factories in the north end east refused to make even a few samples at any price for Mir. Merritt, as they frankly told him that it would ruin their business. But their combine was not strong enough, and MT. Merritt presents for the inspection or the public an article invented in Birming- ham. and he would be glad to see an ex- tensive plant stablished here if the nec- essary capital can be interested.

Hardin's defeat alone might have shown only the treachery of those democrats who would not vote for free silver man under any circumstances, but the entire ticket and the legislature going republi- can shows where the trouble really was. In Mississippi. where a silver platform was adopted, the state went democratic by an increased majority; also in Virgin ia. where the question was the election of a legislature to choose a successor to Senator Daniel a free silver man, out and out, the state went democratic. and Senator Daniel, the silver advocate, will succeed himself.

MINES OF THE BLACK HILLS.
A Region of Puzzles, Such as Gold in Horn-
 bIende and Nuggets in Quartz.

No'NS Ns'N 'sABbSNS "' XAN' e-' Correspondence Philadelphia Times.
 The Black Hills of South Dakota are a region of anomalies and constant sur- prises. You can count upon nothing ab- solutely except, perhaps. that it is one of the greatest collaborating areas of the continent. The geology of the upheaval, particularly that of the auriferous forma- tlons, puzzled the early scientists sadly and the mining experts of the present epoch who visit the region for the first time, bringing with them reputation and & wealth of information. theoretical or acquired in other gold countries, are lia- ble to find accepted geological truths and past experiences equally at fault, Many a mining engineer whose contributions to the proceedings of the institute have gained him distinction, and the coin which rolls so literally behind success in that profession, has been surprised, puzzled and abashed by the rock enig- mas of these hills.
 One of these doctors of science, I am told after listening to the assertions by a Hills miner that hornblende from the ledge of his mine carried free gold, grave ly assured him that it was impossible. Gold never occurs in hornblende," said the scientist.
 But I catch it in the pan," insisted the man in a flannel shirt.
Birmingham state herald., 1895-11-10

'Well, sir" remarked the D. M. se- verely, "I should be glad to see aurifer- ous hornblendic rock. Science makes no mention of such a formation, and years of practical observation in a dozen min ing districts has left me ignorant of its existence"
 "I'd be glad to show you some," replied don't mind walking down to my ground I'll do it''
 The expert assented, a clod of the dark greenish rock was taken from the ledge, mortar and pan produced and at the mar gin of mountain stream the doctor saw in the "heeP' of the furnished gold pan train of free gold which completely overthrow the lore of books. The man who told me the story-an anti-seientist, by the way-dotes upon the experts fam conclusion It was something like this: Gold in hornblende? Impossblei Gold does not occur In rock of this order, but"-glancing at the pan-''it does in the Black Hills"
 Another geologist of national repute refused year or two ago tQ give a miner the favorable report which a mill test warranted, assigning as reason that the $30 or more in quartz nuggets found in the batteries did not come from the ton of rock crushed. There was little fine gold. and the professor, though he had personally conducted the test, announced that the dull. rough nuggets must have been introduced while his back was turned. He believed, in short, that he had been "salted." His report did cred it to his honesty. and his claim that nuggets rarely If ever occur in quarts' was in accord with general scientific ob- servation. The deal was declared off and the mine owner, who was probably as

 Many ranchmen in the Black Hills could tell similar story. Miners are born, and so are farmers. The spell of gold draws men from many natural voca- tiors only to delude and dtsappoint, per haps ruin them. Brawn and experience with pick, or capital comma nding both, 'are the successful miners

Railways and cheaper meth- ods of treatment are helping to solve mining problems that ten years ago were beyond solution. The outcome of the first two decades in Black Hills mining is not surprising. It is hard now to un- derstand how disgusted investors "threw up tbeir hands''e years ago with the Hamestake group producing from s2500, : coo to sS.00o000 annually.

stick to Your Opinions.

Too many folks lay awake
o'nights worrying over "what peo-
pie will say" says the Bolivar
Breeze. The man who has sense
enough to go about his business in
an honorable, straightforward way,
and attend strictly to it, need care
but little about "what people will
say" The world is old and wrinkled,
and men have chartered since father
Adam traversed the garden of Eden,
and the chances are that chin wag-
ging will continue for thousands of
years. The best Of men are bound
to be criticised now and then; in
fact no man can expect to have
many warm friends unless he has a
few live enemies. The fellow who
has no opinions of his own is never
criticised. Therefore, be aggressive;
get on the right track; have opinions
of your own, and stick to them like
bull pup to an old rubber boot.

Bat one Change Necessary.

We are informed that q bill has
been introduced in the Legislature
to give Lyon county five Commits
sioners instead of three, and to fix
the compensation at $25 per month.
There is no economy in the move
as we can see. Three Commission
ers are all that are necessary for
Lyon county, but they should re-
ceive fair compensation for their
services, which they now do not
get. Six hundred dollars per an
mum would not be too much to pay
each OF the three Commissioners
in this county, and it would be a
great deal better to pay a few men
good salaries than to pay a larger
number salaries that would not pay
their expenses. 1t is always poor
policy to hire cheap men. With a
change in official salaries in this
one respect the officials in Lyon
will be all right. The salaries are
low enough surely. And while on
the subject of what Lyon wants it
might be well enough to state that
as near as can be learned the peo-
pie are satisfied with the present
boundary lines. They desire to
take in no more territory nor to
give up any. Lyon is comfortably
fixed as she now stands, as to boun-
diaries, salaries, ETC., with the one
exception above named, and it
would seem that it were best to let
we'll enough alone.
