eastern men in abe country seeking
mining investments at present than at
any other time in the history of the
Hills, and by reason Of the phenomen-

received, all BlacR Hills property of any
merit whatever has risen materially in
commercial fervor. If the "pluggers'

OUR WORK.

Since the world began nothing great
or good was ever accomplished without
labOr-ceaseless, untiring labor. And
not through our limited scope of vision,
gazing from the standpoint of human
probabilities, can we see the results of
our work. The greatest problems in
nature and in human life are often
wrought silently and unseen. To the
eye of man the agency may seem weak
and futile, the projects the chimera Of
some fanciful brain; but the work Is
none the less done, for it is Gods work
and the results are in his hands. His
tory points us to noble men who have
unflinchinglv borne the cross till victory
was won. Luther, strong in the con
victions of his iron soul. after weary
struggle of years stood up in his sublime
manhood and hurled to the winds the
dOgmas and penances of the Papal
church and uttered to the Christian
heart these immortal words. "The just
shall live by faith" Thompson, CARR

The church maid is the latest addi-
dition to the working force OF up-to-
date churches. When you enter the
COOL dimly-lghted sanctuary, you may
see a slender figure in a plain black
gown with white cap and apron NOV
ing around among the pews. She is
perhaps busting the hymnals, arrang-
ing the hassocks, or putting notices in
the racks. She will, however, come
forward answer your questions, direct
you to the sexton, tell you the minis
ter's hours, or advise you to whom
you should apply for other informa-
ton other than she may be able to
give. 1t is a part of her duty to re-
main respectfully near persons in
speeding the building, for low be it
spoken. there are those who take adj
vantage of an open church to carry off
anything they may fancy. The maid
has the care of the minister's study.
She gives it those womanly touches
of which the ianitor is incapable. She
removes faded flowers from chancel or
pulpit and takes care of the choir mu-
sic in the absence of librarian or
other appointed person. 1t will be
seen. therefore, that the church maid
must be a person of some intelligence,
refinement and tact. Barring the
scru bling, which is not a necessary
part of the duties. the position is a
pleasant one which may be filled by
woman superior to the rank and file
of maids.

DANGER OF ANTHRAX.
Its Supposed Appearance in This Country
Excites Alarm.


Excites Alarm.
The supposed appearance of anthrax
in Pennsylvania has naturally reopen
ed interest in the disease throughout
this country. Cattle, sheep, goats and
once in awhile the horse is attacked by
the disease, which manifests itself as
a splenic fever in those animals. I'm
fortunately the disease is easily con-
veyed to man in any climate, but only
through incubation. The medium
through which man may be afflicted is
the hair, wool or hides of an animal
which has died of the disease. If
mans hand should have an abrasion
and he should be among infected hides
the specific bacillus of anthrax may in
oculate him where the abrasion is. In
man it's manifestation is variously de-
scribed as malignant postule, conta-
gious carbuncle, wool sorters and hair
combers' disease.
1t is therefore known in the human
subject as a wound disease" Unless
the treatment is speedy, the inOcula-
ton is rapidly followed by virulent
form of local inflammation, attended
with sloughing and speedy systematic
poisoning" The dust of infected wool
or hair invades the throat and wind
pipe in wool sorters' disease, causing
Inflammation, poisoning all the sur
rounding tissues, and ending life by
most distressing symptoms. After the
incubation there is great prostration,
and death follows in a day or two from
exhaustion.
On the subject of anthrax a reporter
for the New York Herald had a talk
with Dr. II. Nj. Biggs, the chief bac-
teriologist of the city.
"In the human subject" explained
DR.. Biggs, the disease is not necessari-
ly fatal. If there is rapid treatment
after incubation the patient generally
RECEIVERS. The treatment is excision
or the cutting out of the diseased flesh,
There are few cases. and the element
of danger is extremely small.
Anthrax is found in southern Eu-
rope and the Oriental countries. There
are not marked external indications OF
the disease in cattle. Once started it
may go through whole pastures. 1t is
therefore greatly dreaded by owners of
cattle, sheep, goats and horses.
among the earliest of Pasteur's
works was the preparation OF an an
thrax vaccine to prevent the spread OF
the disease in animals and extermi'
nate it from the face of the earth as
far as possible. Perhaps from 100000
to 1000, 900 animals are vaccinated In
Europe every year. The vaccination
has resulted in an inestimable amount
of benefits, and the human race has
been saved from a serious danger. 1t
is one of the monuments to the name
of Pasteur.
THE disease in cattle may originate
fr afNert Anr
sistent. There is no time limit to its
existence in hides. hair and wool. It
/, will offer danger for years. For this
3 reason the spores of the baccili are
5 used as tests of disinfectants. If there
is a preparation that can kill anthrax

II your horse has had a particularly
hard drive or has been worked until
ne is very tired, give him little rest
before he is fed
Every farmer should raise a few car
rots. You can feed at least third less
oats and the horse will do better.
They cost less TO raise than oats,
and you will nave the satisfaction OF
having your houses in better condition
at less cost.
If your horse bolts his feed put a
few cobblestones in his manger or a
handful of shelled corn well mixed
with the oats.
Go slowly with the colts. Do not
expect them to do as much work as the
old horses. Give them time to learn
and develop.
Never lose patience with the colt, he
will know it in one second, and your
mastery over him will be gone, and a
trick or bad habit may he the result.
Use only the tirst-class thoroughbred
sire of the very best type. Don't lose

reach.

in cold water around the hoof. 1t is

business by the introduction of the BIZ

The modern woman, when she is laced
in her new-fangled corset, is a carica-
ture upon the form her creator vOCch-
safed her. Since the days of the early
Greeks there has always been a dis
position for women to tighten them
selves about the waist-line. The
Greek matrons were censured for
tightening their girdles, but the Greek
waist of the average woman measured
about twenty-eight inches. This is
very near the natural and correct size.
The new corset is constructed with
the intention of making a woman's
waist smaller than it ever has been
before. 1t stands to reason that If the
waist is laced in beyond its natural
size, the bust and the stomach must
find a place elsewhere, and the result,
of course, is to force the bust up out
of all lines of grace, and on the other
hand, to produce a pressure down.
ward on the stomach and abdomen is
almost certain to induce internal trou-
bles.
The modern corset has always had
great capacities in this line. The new
corset is merely an eXaggeration in
its defects of the old one, and will hold
its victim in a vice-like grasp just
about that portion of her body where
she should have the greatest freedom.
The new corset will find favor, and it
will be accountable for more red noses,
bad headaches, attacks of congestion
and general destruction of the beauty
of womanhood than any agent hitherto
devised Laced in her new garment OF
torture l defy any living woman to
take full, deep breath-and upon full,
deep breathing the health and beauty

THE FASHIONABLE GAME.
some of the Clubs One Needs to

So much interest," has lately devel-
oped in golf that links are being laid
out in increasing number and people
are beginning to ask themselves how
the game is played. Girls and boys

elaborate outfit. But this is not the
case.

GUS fads and fancies, and you can have
fifty of them if you fall into the hands

and "cleek" There are to be had nib
licks," and "brassies' and so forth, of
tempting Scotch nomenclature, but
the golf clubs first mentioned are the
corner-stones of the fabric.
In selecting clubs it is well to speci-
fy whether you wish a ladies' golf
club or not. The mems sizes are too
heavy for a girl to handle. Golf re-
commends itself to the many people
who love walking and gentle exercise,
yet have no taste for scampering about
a tennis field, reaching and leaping
with their racquet in hand. With per
severance and opportunities for out-ol
door exercise there seems to be nc
reason why an average person cannot
develop into a fair golf-player, and
share the enjoyment of game which
fascinates upon acquaintance.
Once a golf-player always one seems
to be the rule.

sists the club by organizing sheep dog
shows. with prizes for excellence in
various competitions. The show this
year at Augerville was highly success
full. There were flocks of sheep upon
a broad meadow, where they were put
through many strange eyolutions by
the wonderfully intelligent and we'll
trained dogs. The way in which the
dogs apply physical force to the refrac-
tory sheep without injuring them in
any way is a remarkable example OF
animal self-control. The picture
shows the way in which the dog brings
the sheep into line, Selling it by the
thick wool on the back of its neck. The
ideal sheep dog is patient, good tenn
pered animal, holding his charges in
something approaching affectionate
contempt. He knows it is no use to
hurry them, but seizes the psyche
