The wife Of member of the cabinet

an old fashioned colored nanny who Is

A Troublesome Heroine.

Lady Hester Stanhope was appalling to
wait upon. Everything she required had
to be done three or four times over before
1t pleased her, and the moment her sorry
ants left her room they were rung back
again. The bedroom, in which she spent
so much of her time, was n chaos, being
also her study, library and toolroom. Ma
tcrials for necdlcwork and pieces of stuff
intended for presents were scattered over
the floor in bundles, and u little table by
her bedside generally contained saucer OF
preserves, II bottle of water, n cup of cold
tea, lemonade, wine ipccacuanha lozongcs,
cloves, camomilc tea and u pill box. Sho
had neither clock nor watch, saying that
she could not bear anything unnatural.
"Thc sun is for the day, and the moon
and the stars are for the night, and by
them / like to measure time"
Worn out with ringing, talking and
scolding, Lady Hester would sleep Cor u
few hours, and then all would begin
again, each member of her household be-
ing summoned to her bedroom to receive
orders.
She would sec one after the other, her
steward, her secretary, the cook, tho
groom, the gardener the doctor and on some
occasions the whole household. Few cs-
capped without q rcproof and u scolding.
Quiet was an element in which n spirit Sc
restless and elastic could not exist. Secret
plans, expresses with letters, messengers
on distant journeys orders for goods, sue
cor and relief afforded to the poor and op
ITcsscd-these We're the aliment of her ac
tive and benevolent mind.
Her bcdstead rcscmblc,l n sloping couch
covered with u fur cloak. Her pillows were
OF Turkish silk. The turban jacket and pc
lissc in which she slept closely rcsemblet
those she wore when up. Her servant:

Mcryon, sometimes for whole hour
undergoing cross examination worst

A Big Enterprise.

One of the largest undertakings in
the lumber business which has been
inaugurated in recent years is o be-
ing prosecuted by the Sierra Nevada
Wood and Lumber Company, which
is owned by the Hobart estate, under
the superintendency Of Captain J. B
Overton OF this city. Preparations are
going forward to clear over $4,000
acres of virgin timber land near Tru-
ckee, in Nevada county, California.
This timber laad comprises the cream
80 to speak of the Sierra Nevada Wood
and Lumber Company, a portion Of
which. situated on The shores OF Lake
Tahoe, was sold to the Tahoe Lumber
and Flume Company last season.
Should the market be active in the
future, and the demand for lumber
continue, it would take 25 years to dis
pose Of the product Of these $4,000
acres.

Cheap God.

A stock argument used by h OF
ponents Of h~imetallism is that 1t does
not cost 81 80 to produce ar ounce of
silver, says the Western Mining
World. If these astute people would
step to think a minute they wonli see
that if it costs $40 to produce an ounce
of gold none would be produced, be-
cause a business must be profitable or
no one will engage in it. AS a mat
ter of fact "a rich strike in a gold mine
was made in Granite county last
week and a body Of ore encountered
which will enable the owners to pro-
duce gold al the ratio of l6 cents an
ounce. The opponents Of free silver
would probably be paralyzed to know
this. In fact, the East is not posted
on the question. Eastern people have
no conception of the mining industry.
They should be taught that gold and
silver exist in a certain ratio, and car
in the grand aggregate be produced
for a propOrtiOnate cost Of about Is to
l, and hal it is impossible to produce
unlimited quantities of either. They
are ''precious" because they are
scarce, and the product Of the entire
world under the old value of 16 to l
will be nearly equal, in spite OF the
"strikes'' and isolated examples to
the contrary.
