Answers to Correspondents.

From the Field aud Farm.
/ see in your issue of November 21st, q
process to wn gun barrels. Kindly
explain how to color the barrels q deep
blue. G. de f., Ration, N. M.
Auswer-Follow the same process as
in browning until the rust is formed.
Then place the barrel 10 boiling water
which is not bubbling and keep 1t at
that temperature until the iron turns
black. Then remove and polish with
linseed oil, as described in former re-
ply. Pistol barrels and tools are blued
by fire heat.
Is there any cement to use in repairing
shoes by use of patches2 e.. M. B., Sal
Marcial, N. M.
Answer-An excellent. cement for
this purpose is made from pure rubber
gum, cut into very small pieces, which
are put into a vessel and covered with
benzine. The rubber slowly d~Issolves
and makes a very thick and tenacious
cement. 1t is sometimes necessary to
add beuzine in qusntity before the gum
is all dissolved. When the entire mass
has become soft and evenly dissolved,
benzine may be added to reduce it to a
manageable consistency. The vessel
in which it is kept should be closely
corked, or the benzine will evhporate
and leave only the solid rubber.

An Early "Reminiscences.

From Denver Field and Farm.
He Took Forty Lives The discovery
of gold zeal Elizabethtown, N. NJ, in
1866, threw together 1900 men from
all sections Of the country. There
we're many hard characters In a CON-
munity of that sort, but the west prob
| ably never produced . more cruel and
| bloodthirsty villain than Charles Ken.
nedy, who arrived there In the latter
part of 1867. For a while he engaged
in the butcher business, but after q year
or so he took a Mexican wife and SET
tied zeal the foot OF the Taos noun
tains. on the road leading from the
Cimarron valley 10 Taos. Here he
cultivated a small piece Of land and
helped out his income by furnishing
meals and lodgings TO travellers over
the road.
When the body Of a man was found
shot to death on the prairie, half q mile
below Kennedy's ranch, the crime was
naturally laid to the Indians, who were
roaming over the country at the time;
and when later on another body was
found on the Taos side OF the oun
tains, the killing was also supposed to
have been done by the redskins. After
Kennedy had been on his ranch about
a year, his wife left him and went to
Der relatives, saying that her husband
had poisoned their ten-months-old
baby. She told how she was trying to
wean the child, and it being %fretful.
her husband had administered a dose
of arsenic to it, saying the child was
sick and needed medioIne.
Her American neighbors hearing the
story started an inquiry, and the wife
told them that her husband had MUIR
dered several travellers, and burned
their bodies, and had Quoted her Dy
threats of death. A posse from Eliza
BEETHOVEN arrested Kennedy and the
house was searched, Ia the dirt floor,
underneath the fire place, were found
the partly consumed bones Of three or
four men and a search Of the hills and
near the ranch disclosed the
of half q dozen more victims.
Kennedy was taken to Elizabethtown
for a hearing, and after being kept in
all three or four days, was taken out
at night by a party of v%igilantes and
lynched. Before death he confessed
be had killed thirteen travellers at and
near bis ranch but could remember the
names OF but few Of them. He also
stated that he had murdered twenty
sever men in California, before coming
TO New Mexico.

THE RUSH TO THE CITIES,

When Chicago asks aid for roc 0 desti-
tute people within its corporate limits. II
calls attention in a forcible way to the
evil OF attempting to grow too fast. And
Chicago is only one of the several AmerI-
can cities which are now called on to make
deferred payments for the population they
have been determined to get at any cost,
says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Among all the wise men, all the
clergymen, all the scholars of the east,
is there not some evangel that has a
voice sweet enough and inspiration
high enough to tell those people the
way they are driftingp The people
have not rushed from the country to
Chicago and other American cities, I'M
til there are thousands and tens OF
thousands Of them who are destitute in
the corporate limits of every city, be-
cause they wanted to 60. The reason
they are there is because they fed away
from intolerable burdens where thew
were. About ten years ago the farms
In the country ceased to pay. The
hired men and the hired girls were
turned away and they had to drift to
the cities to try to find employment
The boys and girls. the young men and
women, were brought home from the
schools and put to drudgery which paid
them nothing on the farms, and so soon
rs they reached maturity, they followed
the hired men and the hired girls to
the cities. The result has been that
the rural districts have remained al
most stationary in inhabitants; the
cities have aonormally increased in
population, and there are not places
there for all to earn an honest living,
Thousands of young men have become
l~oafers; thousands of young women
have gone to destruction, not by any
intention, but through sheer necessity.
And the work is still going on that
process which is undermining the very
integrity of the nation; the same pro.
cess which took all the manhood and
womanhood out of old Rome; that pro-
cess against which good intentions
avail naught; against which integrity
OF purpose finally has TO break down,
and, unless it can be arrested, 1t will
in a few years more, make our beauti-
fnl country unfit to live in. That
promised prosperity should not be de-
iayed q miru:e.

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex

The only blood purifier allowed an ex-

Manufacturers of other SarsaparilIas
sought by every means to obtain a

Of the rule %forbidding the entry OF

decision of the Worlds fair authorities
in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in

have no right to assume them. Titles
no longer exist in France, consequently
