Historic Copper Mines Of Sinai.

k1b0SOEhO OOpRGE ID olU8Is
Recent examination Of the coppe,
mines of Mount Sinai reveals that tn,
ore is poor and difficult to work, which,
accounts for the fact that they were
abandoned 1000 years ago, though in
the days when copper was the only
available substitute for wood and stone
these mines were the cause Of frequent
war An interesting point brought to
light Is that the ancients practiced pre-
cisely the methods Of extraction used
at the present day-namely, reduction
with charcoal combined with silicious
and ~calcareous duxes.

A CoUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police Of Syracuse Make an I'm.
portant Capture.

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, n. u, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the DR.. Viii
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited photo-engraver in Syracuse, say.
ing he was the representative of the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making of full set of plates for the direc
ton sheets, labels, ETC., of the famous DR.,
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People News
of this reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates He returned
en- the 10Th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plunder, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
search of his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing Of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, charcoal furnace. and several plas-
ter-of-pars molds. The United States mar
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long pc
riod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge Of the proprietary medicine busi.
ness for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at discount of FROM 2percent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at discount from dealers who were
overst ocked. By working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds Of dollars in a short time The
proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be.
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market.

Beware Of An Cotton.

Every indication now points to the
fact that larger acreage of cotton will
be put in this spring than has ever be.
fore been known in the history Of this
country. Statistics show that the acre
age planted last year was unusually
large, and but for unfavorable weather
conditions-droughts in some sections
and superabundance of rains in others
the crop would have been the largest,
and the price perhaps the lowest, ON
record. As it was the crop was cut
very short, and the price went up corrc-
spondingly, to the great satisfaction Of
such as had made crops. The result of
these good prices, and the phenomenal
yield obtained in those sections where
the crop did succeed, have enthused
cotton planters all over the south, and
they are preparing now for the open
ing of the farming season with more
enthusiasm than they have displayed
in many previols years The result,
we fear, will be that they will overdo
the matter and effectually knock the
bottom out of the market next fall.
So long Is our farmers live at home
they can raise five-cent cotton, or even
two-cent cotton, provided they grow
it rs purely IS . surplus crop, but
when they make the mistaac Of
attempting to buy dollar wheat
or ten-cent beef with fivc-cent
cotton. they are doomed to immediate
failure from the start. Corn, cattle,
hogs and sheep can be raised cheaper
than cotton, and the advantage with
them is that If the market docs not suit
the farmer can convert his corn into
stock, and then salt the latter down
''for future reference" by adoptirg z
such . policy he can always live, even
though he may not sport as much money
~ the ''bloated bondholder" may do on
occasions. Farming, Is an eminently
practical vocation. and the farmer who
goes at Il in a practical manner will
succeed and gradually grow rich-R.R.

It is one thing to be cleanly in ordi-

ent matter to be cleanly from the stand
point of dairyman. Milk rot only
absorbs bad Odors with the greatest
facility, but it decomposes very readily
and any particles left in dairy utensils
serve as a means of contaminating the
new milk. A pail or q bucket may be
carlessly washed in the ordinary course
of things and nothing come of it, but an
improperly washed pail or can in the
dairy is q source of trouble always. 1t is
safe to say that much Of the milk and
butter ON the farm is of inferior quality
through this one neglected point The
average farmers wife or attendant Of
the farm dairy would resent the insin-
uation that cleanliness was not prac-
ticed at her particular place; but rs q
matter of fact most of the milk and but
terat these farms is unfit for consump-

matter of washing the dairy utensils,
filthy milking. and unsuitable places for
storing the milk. II milk or butter has

have resulted from contamination after
the milk was drawn than from any
thing the cows may have eaten. Again,
If the milk sours too quickly it is most
likely to be the result of small parti.

through faulty washing than tc any

Above all things do not store the milk

TO COTTON PLANTERS.

Address to Texas Farmers Which Will Ap-
ply with Equal Force to Others.
The following is the address to Texas
farmers, reported by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose by the Amer
lean Cotton Growers Protective asso-
citation, recently in session Mt Waco,
Tex:
ITO the Farmers of Texas: The un-
dersigned members of the American
Cotton Growers Protective association,
who were appointed a committee by
the convention at Waco, March 8, to
formulate an address to all cotton
growers, submit the following and urge
careful consideration:
''The tendency to plant heavily of
the money crop requires the earnest
thought and cooperation of all cotton
growers in the interest of remunerative
prices. 1t is we'll known that a heavy
yield of cotton is used to bear the cot
ton market. The reports of acreage
even months in advance of the harvest
arc used to hold down the price, and it
behoovcs every cotton grower to join
with his neighbor and co-laborcr in an
effort to protect himself against the
manipulators of the cotton market We
recognize the fact that it is absolutely
necessary for most of us 70 plant cot
ton. 1t is necessary in this country be-
cause it is almost the only certain
money crop. But we submit that If all
of us were to devote our time and en-
ergics to the raising of those products
consumed at home first, and give the
balance to cotton, we would necessarily
reduce the acreage of cotton, and there
BY reduce the yield. BY SO doing we not
only create q demand for our cotton by
reducing the supply, but by raising at
home the things we formerly purchased
from abroad with our cotton money,
we destroy the necessity for . big crop,
and strike from our limbs the shaclSles
of q commercial slavery that has af-
fiicted and burdened us SO long.
1--WE recommend that every cotton
grower plant enough of those products
consumed at home to supply his wants,
and IN addition to that raise all the
cotton he can.
I'VE arc in favor of patronizing home
industries, and earnestly urge the farm
ers of Texas to purchase the goods,
wares and merchandise manufactured
in Texas in preference to those manu-
factured elsewhere, when the quality
and price of the article are the same.
The first stimulus ever received by our
American manufacturing industries
were the laws enacted by Great Britain
le-ying an import tax on goods shipped
to the colonies The colonies rebelled,
joined in . combination to purchase
only goods made In the colonies, and
thus was formed the greatest maEnfac-
tnring country in the world. We do
not recommend boycott. but We do
reeommend and urge that where the
price and quality are equal, the prefer
ence b given to home manufactured
goods and encouragement be given al
