ANOTHER CHICKEN STORY.
Quartz and Gold Found In the Di-
gestive Organs OF a Fowl.

Quartz and Gold Found In the Di-
gestive Organs OF a Fowl.
A few days ago The Herald made
mention of the finding of a gold mug
get in the crop of a chicken by a man
by the name of Brown, and the news
of the discovery has evidently had a
stimulating effect on the owners of
poultry, as now every time that
chicken is sacrificed on the chopping
block its interior workings are carefully
examined in the hope of finding clean
up of gold, ready for the retort or the
mint.
1t is an old saving that labor will
have its own reward" or words to that
effect, and word was received yester-
day that a resident of Sugar House
ward had not made Investigations in
this direction in vain, as he is able to
show q piece Of quartz three-eighths
Of an inch long and an eighth of an
inch thick, One-third of which is pure
gold, and this he took out of the craW
of a chicken which Sraced his table for
Sundays dinner.
The gentleman in question has been
hauling gravel from two places, and he
is satisfied that he knows where the
auriferous stuff comes from. and he
viii not rest until satisfied as to the
source of the gold.
Part OF the gravel came from Emil
grafton canyon, and it is believed that
the formation there is not only favor
able to gold, but that extensive placer
deposits viii eventually be found there,
and it is stated on good authority that
colors can be found all the way from
the canyon as far south as Draper.
1t is barely more than a year ago
since there was considerable excitement
over the alleged discovery of gold and
silver placer diggings in Mill Creek
canyon, several miles south of Salt
Lake, and While Investigations in that
direction We're not pushed as they
should have been, the impression pre-
walls that with more thorough examin-
alton and the expenditure of a little
labor and money a second Klondike
would be disclosed almost at our very
doors"
In the crops of other chickens exam
ined by the resident of Sugar House
ward above referred to, pieces of the
same character of quartz were found,
hut no gold.

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste of
His Customers.


Two men in Keokuk were discussing the
various food products now being supplied
in such variety and abundance. One,
grocer, said Il frequently try a package
or so of any certain article before Offering
it to my trade and in that way some
times form a different idea than my
customers have. For instance about
three weeks ago, | thought l would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such call for 1t.
At breakfast | didn't like it and supper
proved the same, SO / naturally con-
that of the customers who bought it right
along; a day or two after, | waited on
lady who was buying a 29c package and
told her / couldn't understand how one
could fancy the taste of Postum. I know
just what is the matter, she said, you
put the coffee boiler on the stove for just
fifteen minutes and ten minutes of that
time it sirnmerad, and perhaps five min
utes it boiled, now If you will have it left
to boil full fifteen minutes after it COM
mences to boil, you will find a delicious
Java like beverage, rich in food value of
gluten and phosphates, so choice that you
Will never abandon it, particularly when
you see the great gain in health Well.
/ took another trial and sure enough l
have joined the Postum army for good,
and life seems worth living since 1 have
gotten rid of my old time stomach and
kidney troubles.
Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure
food, and this. together with a relief from
coffee, has worked the change.
Postum is the only cereal coffee yet dis
covered, with coffee taste that is pure
and free from low grade coffee or other
drugs

Apples as Food.

BY careful analysis it has been
found that apples contain larger
amount of phosphorus, or brain
food than any other fruit or vege-
table, and on this account they are
very important to sedentary men,
who work their brains rather than
their muscles. They also contain
the acids which are needed especial-
ly for sedentary men, the action of
whose liver is sluggish, to eliminate
the etfete matters, which, if retained
in the system, produce inaction Of
the brain, and, indeed, of the whole
system, causing jaundice, sleepiness,
scurvy and troublesome diseases of

The queerest freak of nature ever

what is said to be the queerest bird ever
discovered, few into a tree on Jesse
Branthoover's farm, six miles from
Apollo, Pa, several days ago and has
since been in captivity. That il is q
bird seems certain, because it has wings
which are certainly more than three
feet long, but in other respects it is
difficult to classify. Its face is that of
cat, its feet resemble those of dog
and its tail is similar to those of the
turkey. Its beak and talons are as
sharp as those of an eagle, and it has
great spurs like gamecock.
From all the country miles around
people have come to look at the mon
strosity, but no one has been able to
identify it. Farmer Branthoover was
blowing his field when he saw the bird
in tree. He fired at il, and. one of

Good Substitute for Ivorv.

The inventor, an Englishman, and then

stance is as hard as celluloid and may
be shaped in any way. For seven years
the inventor has been trying to produce
this material of uniform shade and
has oNly just succeeded. If coloring
matter is introduced before it is hard
ened any desired color may be obtained,
1t forms a good substitute for ivory in
the manufacture of billiard balls. For
combs it is superior to celluloid, being
less brittle and liable to chip. 1t has
creamy, glossy surface. 1t is expected
that it will be especially used in the
manufacture of buttons
