Gold Mining In San Francisco.

For over II years a gold mine has
been worked right in the city of San
Francisco. How much gold has been
taken ont none but the two miners
themselves can say. One of them is sup
posed to be on his deathbed, and the
other one disappeared ON the day that
his partner had to be taken to the hos
pital and the secret of their mine be-
came generally known to the commu-
nifty.
Nelson Shoots, the discoverer of the
lead, found the mine over II years ago
while trying to locate the fountain OF
the gold dust found along the beach.
He was practical miner at the time
and well versed in all the secrets of get
ting all the gold possible out of refrac-
tory ores.
That he succeeded in doing this in
his Ingleside mine there is no question,
for not only did ne make good living
during the II years, but he paid IS, 000
damages once for injuring the Spring
valley water main while blasting He
and his partner lost large sums of money
at the race tracks, and they were known
as "spenders" among the resorts in the
western side of the city. All the while
they passed as hermits, with barely
enough to live on.-San Francisco Call.

Blk sleepg IN q sleeper from Montreal
And moon or go from the end of the line,
And you stand at the foot Of the great white
wall
That is, white with the SHOWS that fall and fall
DER the cedar dwarfed and the dropping pine
That grow at the feet Of Alaska.
Old and wrinkled and cold and gray.
With her white pail pulled Ger her stony
breast,
browning and frigid and far away,
She has ever stood, az she stands today,
In the desolate wastes Of the wide northwest
Stands this hoary old woman, Alaska.
Unmolested for thousands Of years,
Isolated, remote and lone,
Her hard face glacial with frozen tears
While over her shoulders and in her ears
The winds Of the north land wall and moan
In the ears Of old Mother Alaska.
party Of prospectors passed that way,
And they thought the old face had forgotten
its frown,
And, pausing they pulled her white robe away
And found her treasure. 'Ah, q est que G. est p

At the feet Of old Mother Alaska.
They told their story, and men went wild
And pawned their chattels and Joined the

And the gold mad men of the world beguiled
With promise of fortune in that far place
At the feet of old Mother Alaska.
But, oh, the rivers are wide and deep,
And the north wind breathes with a killing

Does Baby
hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
ASK yoar doctor # this is not true.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

The calf ought to be fed three times
day.
Unless the dam was good one, don't
try to raise heifer calf.
The separator saves labor in setting
milk, saves room and waste.
Rapid change from new to skim milk
may injure the delicate stomach of the
calf.
Barley is highly recommended as
food for cattle, ranking nearly as high
as wheat.
Unless the person and his clothes are
clean it will tainr the milk if he milks
the COWS.
1t would seem timely to suggest
again that the playful dog ought to
be kept away from the cows.
If heifer is fed upon fat-forming
food constantly you will spoil her as a
mixer. She will learn to take on fat.
Separators should be bought only of
the most reliable manufacturers, for
unless made of the very best material
serious accidents may occur.-Western
PlOwman.

ly sucking, as if with her own mother.
Other lambs then followed suit, until
there were six in all. Six, however,
proved to be too many for the affec-
tionate foster-parent, and the number
was reduced to four. These are thriv-
ing wonderfully we'll, apparently as
we'll as with their natural mother, and
all the drawbacks which are inevita-
BILE in rearing lambs with the bottle
are absent. The COW fulfills the duty
of a mother in every way, and re-
fuses to be separated from her charges.
In fact, when taken away to Craze in
an adjoining field she bellows and
frets until allowed to come back to
her little family. Pretty it is to see
her lick the lambs, when, having had
their fill of milk, they come around to
her head. The incident is the more
remarkable as the COW has not had a
calf for 1s months. The photograph,
which shows the lambs eagerly talk
ing their fill of milk, while the COW is
patiently waiting their pleasure, was
taken some minutes after the reunion
of the family, after few hours CON-
pulsory separation, which is necessary
for the welfare of the mother.-St.
Paul's.

England. College of Arms.

Do you want coat of arms to en-
blazon upon your stationery or your
carriage ponels? Pay your stationer
fee and leave to him the task of
equipping you. He will find coat of
arms belonging to some one of similar
surname, will give it to you and you
will be elegant in the eyes of all who
don't know any better. In England
there is a college of arms or English
heralds' college, where arc kept the
records of the comforting of arms.
There only can the person of Eng
lish ancestry make himself quite sure
of the validity Of his bearings. The
earl marshars court has power to i'm
pose fines and penalties for unau-
thorized assumptions of arms. In the
college have been kept for centuries
the records of the great. The duties
of the officers OF arms consist in max

KEEPING BUTTER COOL.
A Plan That Works Well on Dairy
Farms Not Provided with
an Ice House.

Here is good plan for keeping but
ter cool in summer, says the Indiana
Farmer: In the middle of your cellar
floor dig hole or vault 3A feet deep
and 81. feet square. Wall it up with
brick laid in lime mortar and cement
and floor it with soft brick. Lay a
frame of good hard wood in mortar
upon the top of this vault. Hinge to
the frame trapdoor of plank two
inches thick, making it fit smoothly
over the top. Then after the cream is
separated and cooled put it down in
the vault to ripen. Butter may be kept
there in the agreeable GOODNESS also.
If you have no separator, put the
cream into your vault so soon as you
have skinned it, there to cool and
ripen. Once or twice week clear out
the vault and wash it thoroughly to
prevent its getting. moldy. Pour cold
water upon the soft brick of the floor.
They will absorb it and cool the air.
This is a very successful way to keep
milk, butter and cream cool in hot
weather on farms where there is no

The 1nexorable Sentinel.

Last week the Second Louisiana was
in a position where the most conven-
lent route to reach it was through the
camp of the First Alabama. One of
the members of the Louisiana camp
was out after hours, and as he came
to the line of the Alabama camp he
ran into sentinel, who promptly
brought his gun to a charge and shout
ed: Halt" The Louisianian prompt
ly halted, and the sentinel and he
stood peering at each other for some
time through the gloom. Finally the
sentinel, in tremulous tones, said:
"You can't get through this line un-
less you say Hobson."
"Hobson!" the Louisianian prompt-
ly said.
The sentinel brought his piece to q
present, the intruder saluted and the
line was passed.>,N. O. Times-Demo.

SAYINGS OF THE DARK1Es.
Secret Nature of the Flies-A Substi-
tute for Marriage-A Negroes
Illustration.

The southern darkies are a constant
source Of amusement, when they are
not the cause of unmitigated wrath
to the northern people who go down
there among them. The other day {;
young northern woman, living in
Washington and possessed of deel
and abiding antipathy for flies, com
planned to Lucinda, the colored serv-
ant, that there were good many OF
the pests in the house.
"Idon't see, Lucinda" she remarked
severely, show all these flies could get
in if you kept the screen doors closed;
"Well, dunno, eitheh, MISS" cheer
fully remarked Lucinda. "But you
know they is of Il secret nachuh, miss.
Down in Mississippi, in one of the
lumber towns, which is owned by
northcrners, the house servants and
some of the laborers are darkies. They
are not very strict in their notions oil
law and order, and they have theil
own and very lax ideas along the line
of matrlmony. Wives and husbands
are snapped off with such freedom
and frequency that it is rather hard
to keep track of the exact contempo
raneons combination among the ne.
groes at a given time. The coloreG
people have solved the delicate point
of expressing exact relationship by
avoiding the subject of matrimony al.
together.
'Lize she's cookin' fur Duke John.

The woman doesn't "marry" anybody
She ''cooks fur" him.
One of these darlsies was telling
about a woman on a steamboat. The
levee had caved so that the boat had
to land further up than usual. It was
at night and the searchlight. turned
on the bank, did not reveal ANYTHING
familiar to the woman. She hung
back, therefore, and the darlSy who
had been detailed to put her ashore
didn't know what to do.
''She stood thah like horse lookin'
at strange gate" he said.
1t was this same negro who was one
day listening to one of his acquaint.
ances dilate on experiences with the
Lord. From the darky's accounts
these experiences seemed to have
been extremely intimate, and withou,
word of comment the negro spoke
up and said:
Gwen you all seen de Lord, wah He o.
That is to say: When you saw the
Lord, where was He?
The boaster was quite taken aback
by this simple question and subsided.-
