Seattle Man Says $50, 000, 900 VIII be
Mined Next Year.

G.. M. Nettleton has arrived from
Seattle, Wash, and is staying with
relatives in Hinsdale, III. II believe
said Mr.. Nettleton, that without ques-
ton $50, 600, 600 of the yellow metal
will be taken from Alaska next year,
and it is confidently believed that the
steamer Portland, which Is due to ar
rive in Seattle Aug. 20, will bring to
the shores Of this country So, 600, 900 in
gold nuggets. One peculiar feature of
the gold seeking is that the miners
upon landing in this country seldom
ever are willing TO tell the truth in
reference to their success. Nearly
every one of them expect to return,
and for this reason they are r%eticent.
Their idea seems TO be that If they
underestimate the amount of gold thfy
have found it will have a tendency to
keep other people out"
Mr.. Nettleton said that only about
forty square miles of territory in
Alaska has been thoroughly prospected
and that there are hundreds Of square
miles of territory which contain gold
in large quantities. He said prospec-
tive miners should not attempt TO 80
to the gold fields this season, but
should postpone their trip until spring.

200 gallons of water. This years ex-
p~erience proves the fact, to my salts

a pound of green to fifty gallons of
water, and in some cases half a pound.
The green was tested as to its purity
and was of full strength. | have not
burned a leaf, but | have killed every
tent caterpillar, and doubtless with
them have gone a host of unseen
smaller insects. To prevent burning,
two things are necessary; first, plenty
or lime. We used four gallons Of
strong milk of lime to fifty gallons of
water and green. Second, plenty Of
agitation,-Eastern New York Horti-
culturist.
From the above it would seem that
General Parker's formula for the treat
ment of the elm tree beetle is not so
far wrong as Mr.. Egerton imagines.
London purple end paris green are of
the same nature and used for the same
purposes. The faculty with which
spraying can be accomplished depends
very much upon the plan Of mixing
the ingredients of the Bordeaux mix

all my work until last spring. | now

make a double bag. Into this place
Is pounds of graduated sulphate of
copper. The water entering my 15O-
gallon tank passes through this bag,
and by the time the tank is half full
the sulphate of copper is dissolved. ]
next dissolve n pound of spirits of
ammonia, not less than fifteen degrees

water as to be held in suspension,
leaving no deposit. Then | add the
four pals of milk of lime, and fill the
tank with water. Thus prepared, the
mixture, with proper agitation, will
give you an equal value to every tree
from first to last. Some chemist may
corner me here by saying that the am
monia will change the paris green to
free arsenic. I know nothing about
that, but I do know and positively as
sert that it is just as effectuala gainst
all bugs and worms as though no
ammonia was used, and that it does
not burn the leaves, even those on the
peach tree.-Albert Wood, in Horticul-
turist.

SMOKED GLASSES.

A British physician has discovered
that the ordinary smoked glasses com
monty used by tourists when exposed
to the glare of the sunlight at the sea-
shore or in snowy regions, or in sandy
areas, are harmful to the eyes. He
attributes this effect to the fact that
such glasses permit the red rays to
pass more easily than the other colors.
and that these rays have an irritating
effect upon the retina of the eve. He
also condemns the ordinary blue
glasses for the reason that they even
permit the red rays to reach the eve
to some degree. He recommends a
combination of dark blue-green. with
a number 6" blue glass, and this, he
finds, is most effective in resting the
eyes and preserving them from undue
strain. The facts are to be borne in
mind by travellers who are apt to nur-
chase Smoked glasses" at random
whenever they find the glare OF the
sun becoming unpleasant.

Il was not an unusual case. The soft
first shoes are often instruments of
torture for the tiny feet. Ii the shoe
fits snugly the hard bottoms press
into the sensitive flesh, and there are
ether evils TO be considered. II the
foot is compressed at this early and
formative period, painful deformities
will result, and the progress of the lit

modern bunion. The flesh is so yield

nurse does not observe that IL is be-

The same difficulty may be guarded
against when buying the merino
stockings. If they are too short the
baby's feet will be permanently in

larger than you think the baby should
wear, and let the same rule apply to
children OF a large growth.-Exchange.

THEORIES.

Intelligent men give theories in re-
gard to advertising respectful atten-
'ucn. They know that the most sue
cessful methods OF today are the result
OF the good theories OF certain ad-
yertisers. When Franklin promuI-
gated a clever scientific theory o one
OF his brother scientists, the latter
acknowledged its correctness, but
asked, "Of what use is it?" To which
poor Richard replied, "Of what use Is
a newly-born babe?" Theories are
the ne~wly-born babes out Of which
successful advertising Is developed.

ABOUT THE BABY

On a south-bound car the other day
a baby, held in its young mothers
arms, was crying pitifully and could
rot be comforted. It was evidently
about four months old, and had Just
been shortened" ard under the hem
of its petticoat peeped pretty bronze
shoes. An old lady opposite observed
a peculiar twitching Of the little feet,
and in a moment leaned forward to-
ward the embarrassed mother.
"Baby's shoes hurt her" she said.
"See how they girt in the fat ankles.
Let us unbutton them and see if she
does not stop crying"

there is a layer Of indicated mud about
two acres in extent and from ten TO

The strange medicinal value of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered b. an old sol

of using the mud was at first very
primitive, the patient merely sitting
