Fair Proposition.

The citizens of Sedalia have made
a good, clean and gallant tight to
secure the removal of the capital
They made plain, fair and honest
proposition and they have given a
valid and sufficient bond to carry
out every promise made by their
representatives. Now the question
is with the voters and no intelligent
Missourian need be in the dark. Re
moval of the capital will not cost the
taxpayers of Missori cent; but, on
the other hand, in case the amend
ment is adopted the state will re-
ceive new buildings in place of the
old ones. If removal is defeated tax
payers will have to pay large sums
for repairing the old building now
in use It is for the voters to sa,
what is for the best interests of tht
state.-Warsaw Enterprise.

seat was located permanently at Sc.

The finest turquOises, and richest in
color, have been found for centuries in
small veins in a clay slate near Nisha-
poor, near Meshed Persia, but these
mines, long so prolific, have been rude
ly worked, and are now almost exhaust
ed. Many turquoises reach the market
from Egypt; they are really obtained
from Mount Sinai. This variety, though
generally dark blue when found, often
changes in n short time to milky
green. Very lately, also, turquOises,
have been announced in New South
Wales, Australia, but the yield thus far
has been trifiing and of very Inferior
quality. New Mexico is the principal
source of supply, near Santa, Fe, and
also in the Buno Mountains, in Grant
County; the rocks here are yellow and
gray Quartzite sandstone, with pOTphyry
dykes; the sandstOnes are, probably, Of
carbOniferous age, but so uplifted aud
metamorphosed that their sedimentary
character is obscured.
Companies are now working mines
near Los CerrillOs, and the Buno Noun
tain, New Mexico, and elsewhere in
that region. Much of the product is
pale in color; lit great quantity of
turquoise of robin's-egg blue, equal to
the finest Persian stones, are obtained,
and single piece sold for $4,000 is re-
ported. Many Of these gems have gone
to Europe, where their excellence is ac-
knowledged, and the total American
sales from 1890 to the beginning Of
1894 were not less than 100000. This
has proved the most profitable gem
mining in the United States.-Wash-
ington Star.

II you want to soften your face, try,
instead Of rubbers and unguents and
balms, little spiritual gymnastics.
Look at yourself in the glass. If the
corners of your mouth are down, and
you are an unhappy looking object,
elevate your expression. Think of
the pleasantest thing that ever hap
pened to you; the kindest thing that
was ever done for you; the merriest
time you ever had in your life; send
out the most generous, the sweetest,
the most helpful thought you can
think to your friends, and il your face
is not softened more charmingly than
ever a wrinkle rubber could make it,
then you have not thought strongly,
buoyantly, or generously enough.

The best bread is that made from a
-four whose granules are uniform in
size, or as nearly so as possible. This
statement is made by J. b. Allfree
(the American Miller), and the plaus-
ible line of reasoning bYwhich he sus-
tains it is given in the following para
graphs, which we quote from his arti-
Gle:
"Yeast being a plant OF the most
extraordinary and rapid growth, rap
idly setting up in any mass into which
it has been introduced conditions sim
liar to its own, it is evident that the
impalpable portion of -four will be
acted upon speedily, while only the
superficial layers of the larger gran
ules would be affected by the ferment.
Where such conditions exist-that is,
where -four granules vary in size-the
process cannot proceed uniformly.
The fine particles cannot wait upon
the coarse They will have passed
through the various stages, and too
often have reached the acid stage be-
fore the coarser or larger particles
will have been more than specifically
acted upon. Therefore, carbonic acid
gas that has been generated by the
smaller particles viii have been elim-
mated from the mass, and its useful
ness destroyed, while a portion of the
nutritive properties will be trans
formed into this gas and carried away
by it. This will materially affect the
size of the loaf as well as the favor
and dietetic value of the bread, and,
furthermore, from INSTRUMENTATION
other chemical conditions arise, re-
sulting in discoloration.
On the other hand, if the -four
globules be of even size this chemical
action will be uniform, the entire mass
will reach the alcoholic or bread stage
at the same time, and, when put in
the oven, the heat will stop further
fermentation, as we'll as serving to
cook the loaf and further enlarge it
by the expansion of the air and gas
contained in it. Thus the nutrient
properties are retained, raising the
