The heaviest are the best The cock lob

higher flavor, the flesh is flrmer, and its
color when boiled, is of deeper red

also from the condition of the two up

One of the most interesting sights in
the great mining town of Butte is the
process by which copper il caught from
the emerald colored water that flows
from the Anaconda and St Lawrence
mines 1t is estimated that this water.
which for four or five years went to
waste, is now bringing the Anaconda
company $50, 600 "a month at "a cost of
about 81, 600 month.
At the present time several acres of
ground are covered with wooden watts.
These are filled with all the old scrap
iron they can hold. 1t has proved spleen
did scheme for disposing Of the tons and
tons of old iron the company has accu-
INFLATED for years. Old hosting cages
water pipe. wheelbarrows, railroad iron
in fact any old thing that consists of
tin or iron-is appropriated to this serv-
ice
1t is said for every pound of iron put
into vat pound Of copper is produced.
Where the water first attacks the iron,
the copper absorbs the iron completely
within three weeks. After the precipi-
tation is effected the water is drawn off
and the Shiny copper is transferred to
another tank, where the water is further
drained off These latter watts hold
about 10 tons Of the copper, which now
has the appearance Of clayish sub
stance. This is sacked into packages of
about 100 pounds When i'll this shape,
it is sent to the smelters in this city
The product carries an average of Sc
per cent pure copper. The iron remain
ing in it makes fine flux, and when
mixed with other smelling ore it is
said to bring the ore up to value Of
about $500 ton.
The water from the mines is the most
profitable product of the Anaconda Cop

The Unicorn.

The unicorn was one of the tabled
monsters of antiquity 1t was, accord
ing to summary of the opinions of
several of the old time writers, beast
about the size Of common horse, but
with very short legs. The people of the
middle ages believed i'll the existence of
three kinds of unioorns-the magnificent
white unicorn, which had purple face
and blue eyes and a single horn "a yard
in length; the eglisserion, which re-
sembled "a gigantic deer and had IA very
sharp horn growing from the middle of
the forehead, and the monoceros, or com
mon unicorn. The white unicorn's horn
was of three different colors-white at
the lower part, black as ebony in the
middle and red at the point, Common
uniforms We're said to have had horns
about ] 8 inches in length, but so strong
that they could easily kill an elephant.

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
His Most Unexpected Recovery of n Long
Lost Dog.

Speaking of watchdogs, said the
retired burglar, Il never owned a
watchdog, but | did once own a jolly
little mongrel dog that we called some
times Nibs, but mostly Nibsy, lively,
sensitive little fellow, but no watchdog.
You might have played brass band
outside, and he d never hear 1t, but let
anybody that he knew walk across the
floor, and he d wag his tail in his sleep
We'll, after we'd had Missy "a num-
Der of years we lost him. He Just disap-
peared one day and didn't come back,
and we didn't know whether he d been
run over by train of cars or strayed
away and got lost, or whether somebody
had picked him up and carried him of,
or what was the matter, but he didn t
come back, and we missed him very
much because we all liked Missy.
''Now maybe you can guess what
happened. One morning early. about 2
or half past 2, some months after that,
as | was moving slowly III the dark
across room ON the second floor of a
house that | had called at some 80 miles
from where | lived, | felt the legs of a
small dog thrown against mine.
couldn't see the dog at all, but il was
standing on its hind legs and resting its
fore legs against me, and could tell by
the movement Of them that he was wag
ging his tail violently. 1t was Nibsy,
of course. He'd known my tread, soft
as it was, and woke up to receive me.
"Well, you know, glad as | was to
find missy, I'd rather not have found
him right there, because he was almost
certain to make trouble for me He be-
gan to whine with joy the first thing,
and then he gave "a little yelp. That
was just what was afraid Of He didn t
want to make any trouble for me, but
that one yelp was enough man in

turns on light and says
Now, what the mattor2'
"And [ puts up great polar bluff
and says, You swiped my dog, and I've
come to get him
Swiped nothing, he says I'll
swipe you in minute, and he WASH t
slow in getting at it either He was
getting out of bed and coming for me all
the time he was talking, and a good
healthy, powerful looking man he was
too. But Nibsy was bright. Nibsy
made just ole dive at the mans feet
but that was enough to stop him until
I'd got turned and started, and "a minute
later | was going down the road, with
Nibsy coming on behind. New York
