PRISONER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
j. r. williams Tried to End His
Life in the COIfaX Jail.

Colfax. Oct 26-J. +. Williams, better
known as ''Slick-eye," who is confined in
the county jail on a charge of burglary,
made desperate attempt upon his life
last night. Sheriff Sims sleeps in an outer
corridor of the jail, and when he was
preparing to retire at 1890 he heard a
strange noise and groans from the in
side of the Jail. Entering, he found Will
Jams hanging from the upper part of the
cell door by a rope made of his under
clothing. His head was thrust through
small opening in the door, stretching
the rope tight. Life was all but extinct.
With the aid of the other prisoners the
sheriff cut him down. For two hours he
raved, struggled and bawled like per-
feet maniac, requiring all the strength of
five strong men to hold him. At first it
was thought that he had taken poison.

returned to his cell, though his neck and
throat were too severely swollen to al

to the secretary of the interior. 1t estl-
mates the present population at 3,ooO ma
tiyes and 10000 whites, predicts that with
reindeer transportation mails can be sent
all over Alaska during the winters, and
recommends that 100000 be appropriate
ed for government buildings and $4,000
for schools. 1t says nothing has so retard-
ed Alaskas substantial growth as the
helplessness of settlers to obtain titles to
their homes on account of failure OF con
gress to extend the general land laws, and
urges to create a commission OF tive-one
senator. one representative, and three
bona fde Alaska residents-to codify laws
for Alaska.

to confine the hunting of the sea offers

TAN AND SUNBURN.


While it was formerly believed that
the suns heat was responsible for tan
and sunburn, it has now been proven
that it is the light of the sun which
colors the skin. Persons exposed to
sunlight on mountain tops, at low tenn
perature, are burned as if they had
undergone heat as well. Painful burns
often result from light reflected from
snow and water. Persons exposed 10
severe heat in mines, firerooms of steam
ere and rolling mills do not become
tanned in the same manner as those
working in the sun. The present the
DRY is that the actinic rays of sunlight
produce tan or sunburn. These rays
affect chemically certain substances
upon which they fall Blue or violet
rays have much greater effect upon
sensitive plate than red rays, and
this is also true of the human skin.
Red glass allows red light rays to pass
through it freely and rejects the COM
Elementary blue rays. Blue glass adj
mits blue or violet rays and excludes
red A red fabric would be the most
effective protection against sunburn.
Blue is a most undesirable color for
wells. A woman, a member of party
Of tourists, wore a strip ped red and white
waist during a long exposure to suns
rays. She found herself burned in
stripes, the white affording no protec-
ton, as all rays pass through it. The
pigment or cOloring matter of the skin
is the portion which receives the chem
zeal action of the sunlight 1t is not
definitely known why some people
burn red, while others freckle or tan
The darkening of the skin is an effort of
nature to protect the sensitive parts
beneath. The darker the surface upon
which sunlight falls, the more difficult
it is for it to penetrate. Wind and
heat by irritating the skin sometimes
produce congestion which predisposes
to the effect of the suns rays.-Chicago

WOMAN AND HOME.
HEALTH-GIVING BATHS.
Dips in Water Made Fragrant by
Flowers and Herbs.


For hardening and strengthening the
muscles of neck, shoulders, arms and
limbs nothing is more efficacious than
g bath of flowers or herbs ANY woman
aspiring to resemble the heroine in
"Daniel Deronda," who always emerged
from her bath looking like a freshly
dipped swan" is becoming initiated in
the mysteries of these refreshing and
fragrant dips.
Rose leaves, crushed violets, hay flow
ers, Oat straw, shave grass and pine
sprig- these form the foundation of
the flower or herb bath, and conse-
quently excursions TO the garden, the
field or the hay rack will be in order
in summer. The flower bath is taken
warm, followed by cold shower and
q vigorous rubbing until arms and
neck shine like glistening marble. are
firm of texture and smooth as satin.
All these baths are prepared in the
same manner. Boiling water should
be poured upon bags of the different
blossoms or herbs, each bag contain
ing from one-half to one pound of mate
rial and the whole allowed to boil for
ten minutes; the vessel is then taken
from the fire and allowed to partly
cool, when it is added to the prepared
bath.
Hay flowers consist of the remains of
stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds. even
the hay itself. An oat-straw bath is
made by boiling the stalks and heads
of oats for one-half hour in kettle and
then pouring the decoction into the
tub. Shave grass is prepared in the
same manner by boiling the stem, cone
and spore. Equisetum arvesne is the
botanical name of shave grass. which
is a medicinal herb of great value.
Taken internally in form of tea it
purities the stomach; externally in the
bath it washes away and dissolves all
that is injurious. The uses of the herb
are manifold; for instance. in cases of
violent bleeding at the nose a decoc-
ton of shave grass drawn up into the
nostrils gives immediate relief. A sup
ply of shave grass should be kept in
every home dispensary, that in time of
need it may be quickly at hand.
For the pine-sprig bath gather the
sprigs, the fresher the better, small
branches, even resinous pine cones, cut
them in bits, put into a bag and boil for
one-half hour. The chief effect of a
pine-sprig bath is on the skin, which is
brought into activity by it, and on the
blood vessels, which it strengthens.
Moreover, it is fragrant and delightful.
For the mixed bath herbs and flowers
OF various kinds are used; this is in
case the due quantity of any one can
not be procured.
A word apropos of the duration of
such tubbings. A warm flower bath
may last onc-quarter hour, followed by
a cold shower lasting possibly one
minute, no longer. Flower and herb
baths may be taken two or three times
a weell.-Eleanor Lexington, in Amer
lean Queen.

Denmark is prominently the land of
steady habits and uniformity. In the
list of kings of the house of Oldenb burg
Christians and Fredericks follow each
other as regularly as treads and risers
in staircase. Every King Christian
named his oldest son after his royal
father Frederick, and every King Fred
ericl reverted to his own fathers name,
Christian, when a new crown prince
was born and christened There was
only one break in the alternate line of
Christians and Fredericks during five
centuries One King Hans came be-
tween two Christians, That was about
the time of the discovery of America,
when the unexpected was likely to
happen. Since the reformation every
king has named his eldest son after his
father, and by force of habit Chris
tians and Fredericks have followed
each other with perfection of method.
Royalty has set the style, and the
humblest subject has respected the
time-honored custom until Denmark
has been filled with alternating crops
of Christians and Fredericks.-N y.

Cloth Dyed on Both Sides.

In England a new method is being
employed for dyeing cloth a different
color on each side, doing away with
the necessity for a lining. At first it
is dyed through in the usual manner.
1t is then taken to a printing machine
provided with roller engraved with
deeply cut diagonal lines, running in
one direction over its surface, and with
diagonal lines cut less deeply running
in an opposite direction. This roller is
dipped in a bath of thickened color
and carried up to the cloth. 1t is so
adjusted that the second color is kept
from penetrating the piece more than
half way. After it is applied the cloth
is finished in the ordinary way.-Chi-

THE TERM Gel DORADO"
Stories of Spanish Conquest Days Put 1t In
Adventurers' Mouths.


Ell Dorado is the term now heard on
every side in connection with the
placer mines of Alaska and the north
west territory of Canada. Its derlva-
ton is of interest. In the fifteenth
century it was rumOred that there ex-
listed in the northern part of South
America city of great wealth called
Manoa, whose king, by name Ell Do
RADIO, was periodically smeared with
oil of balsam and was then powdered
with gold dust, until his whole body
had gilded appearance. 1t was SAID
that on these occasions he threw gold,
emeralds and other precious metals
and gems into sacred lake, in which
he afterward bathed.
Beginning in 1882 the Spaniards sent
many large expeditions to search for
ended disastrously, hundreds of lives
being lost. One explorer, Orellano,
averred that he found Ell Dorado in his
voyage down the Amazon in 1910. This
was disproved, but the search was con-
tinued down to the eighteenth CEN
fury. Some of the results were the
conquest and settlement of New Ora
NADIA, the making known to the world
of the mountain region of Venezuela,
the discovery of the noble rivers, the
Oronoco and the Amazon, and the ex-
plOration of the vast forests west of
the Andes. About the end of the six
teenth century an English expedition
either sent out by or under the per-
sonal leadership of Raleigh penetrated
into Guiana, thereby obtaining claim
on that country which has resulted in
requirement of the modern British
colony of that name.
1t has been supposed that the origin
of the fable arose from the yearly cele-
bration of tribe of Indians near Be-
| gotta, whose chief was on these occa-
sions gilded with gold dust, but this
ceremony was never witnessed by the
Spaniards and the story may simply
be another version of the Ell Dorado
myth.
The name FL Dorado was commonly
used to describe the city or country
which was the object of the search, but
a later usage of the term has been its
fgurative application with regard to
any region of more than common rich
ness Ell Dorado county, in California,
was the scene of the famous gold fields
of 40, and since then the expression
has been used to describe many gold
camps.
These facts are taken from the Cen.
fury dictionary and encyclopedia, and
may be accordingly accepted as quite
authentic. -Pittsburg Commercial Ga,
