How many yonng men and young
women are cut off just rs the future
seems brightest and fullest Of promise!
They are taken away by he disease
which causes over one sixth of all the
deaths in the WOrd--the disease which
doctors call consumption. There is alb
solutely no reason in the world why
consumption should be fatal-why it
should be even serious. 1t is dis
ease of the blood, and can be cured alb
solutely and always by purifying and
enriching the blood. The only excep
ton to this is the case where the dis
ease has been neglected and improp-
erly treated until it is stronger than
the body-until the body has become
so weak as to have lost the ability to
recuperate. Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery will cure 90 per cent of
all cases of consumption if used &C
cording to directions. 1t also cures
all lingering coughs, bronchial and
throat affections.

Seems as if consumption always picks
on the brightest and best. Fully one
sixth of all the deaths that occur i'll
the world are caused by consumption.
Many things were once considered i'm
possible. 1t would be strange if med
ical science did not make some prog
ress. The telegraph and telephone,
the photograph, the electric light-all
we're impossible, and once it was i'm.
possible to cure consumption. That
was before the time of DR.. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery. Taken &C
cording to directions this standard
remedy will cure 50 per cent of
all cases of consumption. Con
sumption is caused and fOstered by i'm
purity in the blood. 1t is cured by
purity and richness in the blood-sure-
ly, certainly cured by the "Medical DIS
cOvery." 1t builds up solid healthy
flesh and vigorous strength.

COPPER KING OF ARIZONA.
COPPER Is KING.

@. w. Blackburn, Supt., under date
December 18th, writes that on our Abe
Lincoln claim at Solomon Springs, they
had uncovered gold ledge CeTy rich
betaOee1a 12dnd 10 feet 1Ctde. Other of
our claims there are opening up rich
in Gold, Silver and Copper. In the 100
foot shaft on another claim there are on
a six-foot lode, assaying as high as $50.
in gold, 500 OF. silver and 10 per cent.
copper. With such ore and 480 acres of
it, the Copper King of Arizona will with
in a few months be dividend payer, as
smelling plant will soon be built. The
advance of price of shares from so cents
to 81. must come soon. This is poor
mans opportunity.
Remember! Peter Sauer, of Calumet,
Mich, who began buying shares in the
Calumet and Hecla Copper Mine, at
par now worth $40. for the 81. he in
vested. He now owns 600 S25. shares
worth 100000. his dividends this year
are 100000. yet he was not ''swelled up"
but continues as ever in his regular
dray business. There are over 1000
shareholders in the Calumet and Hecla,
all getting their quarterly dividends.
The company has paid over $51,000000.
in dividends.
Copper is good property to be in, es-
pecially with gold and silver added.

Office Of S. K WILLIAMS,
Justice of the Peace.

Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona,
November Is, 1897.
My Dear Sir:-Yours of the 9Th inst. re-
ceived and contents noted, and would
say in reply to your many questions
that everything about the Copper King
of Arizona is prospecting. People are
becoming more excited over its rapid
progress every day, and even though
shares of stocks have advanced from
20c to SOC. they are selling here in Bis
bee more rapidly than at 5, 10 or Zoe,
and can honestly say | think it one
of the best investments, with the oppor-
tunity of making large profit on a
small amount of money, that 7 have ev-
er known. The Kings No. shaft at
Bisbee is about 500 feet north of the
immense ore body that is now being
worked by the Copper Queen Consoli-
dated Mining Company from their 200
foot level drumming east) in the Holbrook
shaft, and the King shaft is now down
over $50 feet, and work is being pushed
night and day by three shifts of miners.
Now in black sulphides of copper, and
ore growing richer as depth is attained.
Drift No. l, starting at the 800 foot level,
is now over 40 feet in rich ore while the
main shaft is going down rapidly, and
at the 400 foot level it is expected that
the main ore bodies, extending from the
Fucker and Dividend claims OF the
Queen Company adjoining, on the west
will be struck. At the Soloman Springs
mine the King Company is making good
progress opening up a body of high
grade ore assaying as high as $50 in
gold, silver 500 ounces, and copper 10
per cent per ton. All the ore is being
piled up for smelter, which will no
doubt be under process of construction
by January l, '9S. Any man who hest
tates to buy Copper King stock now
will soon be too late, for it is only a
matter of few days before shares will
be worth par value, 81 or more, and
then it will be too late for the poor man.
/ will further state that all | have said
is from disinterested standpoint, as [
am the owner of only few shares of
stock, but wish I had lots of money to
invest in the Copper King. Hoping
what information l have hurriedly given
you may be of value, remain,
Yours most respectfully,
S. X. WILLIAMS.
The above letter and other very re-
cent reports justify the expectation that
the next advance of shares to 81, decided
upon by the directors November /, will
SOON be made. With the first 100,ton
smelter in blast, and bullion selling in
stead of stock, dividends will be paid,
and judging from mill tests made in
July and August, it will not take three
years to put Copper King stock to So
per 81 share, now selling for so cents.

THE MODERN MANGLE.
ironing Machines With a Daily Capacity
OF Msny Thousands of Pieces.


Mangles in one form and another have
been used for hundreds of years, but the
steam mangle of the present day is es-
sentially modern machine Steam man
giles are made of various sizes, with rolls
ranging in length from As inches to 100
inches One of the rolls is Of hollow
steel and heated with steam The auxil-
larry rolls are of iron, covered with cot
ton cloth ard blankets or felting. Steam
mangles are made also with two hot
rolls. In ironing such things as sheets
and tablecloths by hand, it is customary
to iron one side only. Steam mangles
with single hot roll iron in that man
ner With two hot rolls the steam man
gle irons with smooth finish on both
sides.
Mangles are used only for fiat articles;
for things without buttons or buckles;
for sheets and pillow cases, tablecloths
and napkins, towels and handkerchiefs,
and SO on. Mangles of the largest size
will iron of hotels washing, taken
just as it comes IA, 900 pieces in day;
of small pieces, such as napkins they
will iron four times as many pieces in a
day.
From the washing machine the things
go to an extractor to be dried The ex-
tractor revolves at high speed, and the
moisture is whirled out by centrifugal
action From the extractor, just damp
enough to work well, the things 60 to
the mangle. Such things as sheets are
fed into the great ironing machine by
two men, each holding corner. There
is a fixed table, as long as the rolls, at
tached to the machine on the other side.
Two men receive the sheet there and
fold it. In ironing small pieces like
napkins and towels ON such /. machine
they would be fed in by row of girls
standing ON one side and be received by
another row of girls on the other side.
On the largest machines there would
be six or eight girls on each side. Amer
ican steam mangles are used not only in
this country, but they are sold in all the
countries of Europe as well.
A great many mangles are made with
wood rolls of polished maple. Such
mangles are sometimes operated by
power, but commonly by hand. They
are used in hotels and laundries and res
taurants and for household work. Man
giles with wood rolls are exported to the
various countries of Spanish America
and to South Africa and Australia. -

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY.
Ex-Minister Terrell Pays Tribute to His
Charm of Manner.


Hon. A. w. Terrell, formerly United
States minister at Constantinople, con-
tributes Gan Interview With the Sui
tan" to The Century. Mr.. Terrell says:
The sultan is over 80 years old, Of
medium height, with clear olive COM
plexion, dark hair, high forehead and
large dark brown eyes. The habitual
expression of his face is one of extreme
sadness Though the pashas who attend
his palace when ministers or embassa-
doris are entertained are decorated with
regal splendor, he always appears in
plain garb, wearing Il REQ tn, frccli
coat and trousers Of dark blGu sfcli ard

man covered with Gluta CT gold, to re-
ccive the cGnara crllations of his civil
and military cLISts, vino are all radiant
in uniforms and decorations the con-
trast is very striking. No Christians
but those Of the diplomatic corps ever
witness this impressive ceremony, which
is conducted with the order that distin-
guishes military review, but with an
oriental servility that an American finds
it difficult to understand. On such occa-
sions Osman Pasha stands at the sui
tan's left, holding a cloth of gold scarf,
which all reverently kiss after saluting
their ruler
No sovereign in Europe is more court
ly or refined in entertaining his guests,
and few can be more agreeable in con-
versation. In his personal intercourse
with foreign representatives he is alike
free from that stilted dignity which re-
pels confidence and from that absence of
real dignity which invites familiarity.
When | first dined at the palace, the
sultan sat at the head of the table, with
Mrs Terrell at his right and myself at
his left. Osman Pasha, Ismael Pasha,
the former khedive of Egypt, the grand
vizier and other ministers of state were
the other guests.
Nothing could excel the excellence of
the cuisine of which he partook with
his guests, the table service and decora-
tions the magnificence of the dining
room or the excellence Of his wines,
which always remain untasted except
by Christian guests. Each pasha wore
the insignia Of his rank, blazing with
stars and decorations, while the plain
costume of the sultan was alone in har-
mony with my own. No armed men
stood guard at the palace doors, and ex-
ccpt detail from the imperial guard,
who always salute foreign representa-
tive ON his arrival, no soldiers have ever
been seen by me within the palace walls
on any of the occasions when have
dined there.

fare. do you think I'm dishonest
asked the conductor. II don't know, F"
replied the eccentric man "I've never
been ON your car when 1t was crowded. "
After making many sarcastic remarks
the conductor signed his name to the
piece Of paper handed him by the pas
senger. The receipt was worded as fol-
lows: Received cents for fare from
passenger riding from Elm street to
Union station. On being asked why he
wanted q receipt, the man said he was
getting tired quarreling with absent
minded conductors, who frequently
asked for the necessary nickel after it
had been paid He also said that few
nights ago in Boston he had to get two
passengers to prove that he had paid his
fare As the man was always placed in
an embarrassing position on such occa-
sions, he adopted the receipt method in
order to save further trouble in the fu-

At rare intervals along the mountain
roads of West Virginia and Kentucky
the traveller may come upon a black
smith shop, but he is much safer in the
shooting of his horse if he will carry
few nails and tools in the bottom of his

half dozen or more men sitting around
it in the shade Ny turnout needed
some repairs, and as the smith was pot
tering about it inside made talk with
the men outside One Of them wanted
to sell me mule which he had hung
up on the fence, and started in for
dicker After we had been talking for
perhaps quarter of an hour the smith
asked me to step inside and show him
something about the work he was do
ing. AS soon as he got me away from
the crowd he came close and grew con-
fidential

A FEW .DON'TS.



Health and Happiness.
Perhaps you have all heard or read
the advice contained in the following
don It's" but it is good enough to be
repeated over and over again. We take
them from paper that seems to think
as we do about it:
Don't catch cold. Catching cold is
much more preventable than it is gen.
orally supposed to be. Keep your feet
warm and dry, your head cool, your
chest we'll protected. Avoid exposure
with an empty stomach. Take care not
to cool off suddenly when you are heat
I'd. Keep out Of drafts. wear f1annels
and be careful generally.
Don't sleep in the same dannels that
you wear during the day,
Don't wear thin stockings or light
soled shoes in cold or in wet weather
Don't neglect personal cleanliness,
but use the bath with moderation and
in accordance with your general health.
The daily cold bath is all right for the
rugged, but it is a great tax upon the
vitality of weak persons and should not
be INDUCED in If the results are at all
doubtful. Tepid water is always better
for those that are not in robust health
Judge for yourself
Don't keep the sun out of your living
rooms and your sleeping rooms Sun
light is absolutely necessary to put in
proper condition the air that we breathe
Don't neglect your house drainage
The first condition Of the family's
heath is dry, sweet atmosphere.
Don't forget that Dr. Good Habits,
DR.. Diet and DR.. Exercise are the best
doctors in the world. philadelphia
