SPANISH MINES IN TEXAS.
There Il Talk of Reopening some of the
Old Ones.


Old Ones
The earliest settlers of Bel county,
TEX. found along the mountains north
east Of Belton and near Nolan's creek
what appeared to be old mines that lad
probably been worked by the Spaniards,
Indians or Actecs. Since then every
once in awhile there has been talk of
trying to- open the mines and see what
was in them, says the Galveston News.
They presented the appearance of deep
holes i'm the ground, some of " hich had
been partially and others almost en-
tirely filled with dirt. In scme instances
bushes had grown in these places. In
ore or two cases large cedar logs had
been placed over these mine-holes aud
dirt thrown on them Som, people
nave always contended that il would
pay to reopen and work these Old mines,
but until now no one W no desired to put
time or money in them.
The recent discovery of gold four or
five miles from Bolton has given a new
interest in these old mines. in one of
these mines some men have begun work
in earnest, and are keeping NJ il from
day to day. They are not very cCnl-
municative about their prospects for
success, but this much they tell. hat
in a short time they are going TO ship
some of what they think is their best
paying ore to the smelter at eagle Pass.
After il has been smelted they will krow
more. Meanwhile there is Il good deal
of interest about it around town.

A REMARKABLE TOOTH.
Wonderful Relic In the Temple at YakA
DANA Japan

The temple al Nakadama, Japan, con-
tIins a wonderful relic in the shape of
tooth which. tradition says. one OF the
gods pulled from his jaw in order TO
have a weapon with which TO dispatch
an immense cobra. says the ST. Louis
Republic Years ago. according TO the
tradition. after the tooth had been
worshiped by heather devotees for
centuries. a change of sentiment took
place an regard To the relic. Ii WAS
declared To be a fraud and was. ac-
co-dingly, ground TO a powder and then
thrown into the river. But the particles
came together, 50 the priests say. and
again formed themselves into a per
feet tooth. which was found as per
feet as before the ordeal. quietly nePos-
ing in the bed OF the river. After this
miracle, the Temple of the Sacred
Tooth" which had also been destroyed
by the unbelieve-s. was rebuilt and the
tooth again enshriBed as an object OF
alteration. At present IL is kept in a
gold box wrapped in films from the
sacred white spiders web.

Taste and Smell.

FhysiologIsts have long known that
many sensations ordinarily aseribed TO
taste are in reality due to smell, but this
fact has lately been made clearer than
before by the Investigations of German
savants. Air enters the olfactory cham
ber, where the nerves connected with
the sense of smell are centered, both
through the nostrils and through an in
let leading from the mouth In conse-
quence. breath of perfuned air mani
tests its odor not only when it is
breathed in. but when it is breathed out.
For this reason we are sometimes de
ceived as TO the source of the pleasure
we derive from things taken into the
mouth, the agreeableness of the impress
sion being due, in some cases. rather 10
smell than 10 taste.-Youth's Com

John Calvin presents in his letter else
where published, the result of careful
study of the facts regarding fire losses and
the amount of insurance paid in Brattle-
boro during the past ten years. We think
his figures are conclusive as showing that,
so far as Brattleboro is concerned, the pre-
miums paid in excess of the losses incur
red have amounted to a handsome profit
on the business done here. The question
which he raises is to what extent Brat
tleboro, with its very complete and expen-
sive equipment for preventing fire losses,
ought to be assessed TO pay for losses in
the state at large. The year 1895 was I'M
profitable for the insurance companies.
According to the report of the insurance
amounted to S799,071 and the losses to
1851 ,534-a balance of $62, 1888 on the
wrong side. But if we understand the
figures correctly the Vermont business has
been profitable as a whole for long term
of years. The problem is difficult one,
but we believe some just solution of it can
be found which will prevent rates which
are practically prohibiJory from being
placed on some classes of Brattleboro prop
erty
Thomas II. Dugan, alias Otis Estes and
several other names, has been heard from
again. About two months ago it was re-
ported that he had victimized Grand Army
men at Montpelier, where he claimed that
he was a member of Sedgwick post of Brat
tleboro. 1t will be remembered that the
swindler worked many people in this county
and that he was arrested at Greenfield and
held for trial at Newfane, but escaped as
his victims neglected to appear against
him. Thomas ii. Dugan appeared in
North Adams, Mass, about two weeks
ago. He was arrested, but when he be-
came sober he told pitiful tale. He was
an old soldier who had lost wife and six
children and had been dragged down by
drink. He appeared to be a man of good
education and said that he had taught
school when young man. His case was
continued in court on condition that he
would leave town. He remained in North
Adams, however, and five days later was
arrested for drunkenness a second time.
He was sentenced to serve eight months at
the state farm at Bridgewater He had
been at the farm but short time when it
was discovered that he was the man who
had escaped from the institution five years
ago. At that time he was serving SEN
tence for drunkenness at Worcester, and
his name was known as Sheldon.

During the past 10 years the Brattleboro
hre department has responded to 50 alarms,
and its facilities for fighting fire today are
second to no department in New England,
taking the number of inhabitants and fire
risks into account. Its equipment is as
follows: Two Clapp & Jones steamers,
one hook and ladder truck, four hose COM
panles, one chemical engine with two 80
gallon tanks, II Babcock extinguishers.
~ water cisterns holding from 1900 to
100000 gallons each, 81 hydrants with wa
ter pressure varying from SO to 95 pounds.
400 feet of hose, four Callahan shut-off
MOBILES, two pairs of horses stabbed in the
central tre station at night, owned by the
town and worked on the streets in the dayI
time, hanging harness for one steamer and
two hose carts. A driver and two firemeIl
sleep in the station. There is also al
Gamewell fire-alarm system which includesI
~ boxes, one bell striker, one gong, and
one whistle machine.
Let me ask, with this equipment and
record of fire losses, why our insurance
rates are constantly increasing? Why
should l pay $1.90 with hydrant within
~ feet of my door, when a merchant in
Iownshend, with no fire protection, only
pays $1.75? Why should a substantial
brick building in Brattleboro pay S1.7O
when brick building in Putney, with no
hre department, pays only three-fourths
OF one per cent? If the Putney building
should catch fire tomorrow 1 dare say
they would call on our department again,
and we would gladly respond.
We have in addition to the above the
Estey Organ company's steamer company,
winch is always ready to respond to the
call of the department. Why should Brat
tleooro, with its department, pay for losses
III villages which have very little or no
protection? l will close by asking every
one to interest himself and see if we can
not secure better rates.
