PEARLS or THOUGHT.

The man is usually in the right who
swns himself in the wrong.
A kind heart is fountain of glad
ness, making everything in its vicinity
to freshen.
IT man is busy, and busy about
his duty, what more does he require
from time or eternity?
No matter how many mistakes you
may have made. The point is-what
have you learned by them !?
What men want is not talent, it ID
purpose; in other words, not the
power to achieve, but the will to labor.
The mind requires not, like an
earthen vessel, to be kept full !; con-
yenient food and aliment only will in
fame it with desire of knowledge
and an ardent love of truth.
Be resolutely and faithfully what
you are be humbly what You aspire
to be. Be sure you give men the best
of yonr wares, though they be poor
enough, and the gods will help you to
lay up q better store for the future.
Mans noblest gift to man is his sin
certify, for it embraces his integrity
also.

Captain sigsbee,. Lost Dinner.

Somebody aboard the auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul got fine dinner that
wasn't intended for him, and Captain
Sigsbee was the loser, says the Phila-
delphia Record. While the st. Paul
was making the run from Montauk
Point to New York, the captain s
cook prepared for him a fine pair of
mallard ducks, of which Captain Sigs-
bee is especially fond. Orders had
been given to the cook to be par
ticularly careful in the roasting of the
birds, and he brought them forth from
the oven nicely Drowned. The cap
tain, upon the bridge, had had his
mouth set for them all morning, and
occasionally fancied he could smell
them cooking. just few minutes
before dinner time, while the cook 8
back was turned, somebody whisked
those two luscious birds out of the
galley, and disappeared with them.
The st. Paul is big ship, and the
thief had ample opportunity to hide
himself while he got on the outside
of the roast duck. At any rate, he
was never caught, nor was there any
clew to identity. Captain Sigsbee was
obliged to content himself with can
of sardines.

Promotion for tho Enlisted Man.

The highest promotion to which an
enlisted man in the navy can aspire is
from petty rating to warrant rank.
In this way he may become . boat

penter, or, if the Navy Personnel bill
now before the Congress becomes law,
a warrant-machinist. Warrant-officers
have no army counterparts. They
are not commissioned officers, and
they are not enlisted men. They are
something like the baronets and
knights in the British scale of pre-
cedence, though the parallel is not
exact. They wear . uniform not nm
like that of the commissioned officers.

The summer logging camp ordina-
rily is not picturesque place. 1t is
built beside the railroad, in order that
supplies need not be carried far by
hand or by ''dray," and whatever
beauty it has is gained from its envi-
ronment of heavy forest. The vari-
GUS buildings, or ''shanties," as they
are always called, are clustered in q
compact little village. Nearest the
railroad-it may be-is the cook q
shanty;" next it, perhaps, is the
''men's shanty," or sleeping quarters
of the crew; near them, again, is the
office where the camp accounts are
kept and where the foreman and scaler
sleep. The barn or s'hovel," is ct
the end Of the camp, with the granary
beside it. The blacksmith's shop and
the workbench of the "handy man.
are near by. The ''root-cellar," which
is both pantry and cold storage room,
is built where the cook and his assist
ants have ready access to IT.
The cooks shanty is the dining
room as well as kitchen, while the Of
fee is also storehouse from which
the timber-iacks can OBJ ain tobacco
and such principal articles Of clothing
as they may need. All the chief
buildings are long and low, made Of
rough boards or logs, and rooted with
sheeting and tar paper. The sleeping
hunks in the mems shanty are along
the sides of the cabin in tier two
deep; this shanty is the loggers' rem
devious on cold evenings, and in it
the smell Of strong tobacco constant
~ fingers. Such is q summer logging
camp, and, rough and crude as it may
seem, it is no bad home for men
toughened by hard outdoor labor

sLoW.BURNINc POWDER.

The Brown Prismatic-Powder and the
Way 1t IL Loaded In Charges.
E. B. Rogers of the United States
Navy in an article on ''Big Guns and
Armor of our Navy" in the st Nicho-
las says:
Black powder, with its glistening
grains, is untitled for our modern
guns, because it explodes too quick
ly, and when the charge is fred it
turns almost instantaneousiy into gas,
exerting Immediately all its force,
which, of course, decreases when the
shot moves toward the muzzle, be-
cause the gas has more room THAT is,
the inside of the gun) to expand in.
But nowadays what is called s'slow-
burning powder is used. When it is
ignited the proiecti!e at first moves
slowly; but as the powder continues
burning, the quantity of gas, and con-
sequently the pressure, is constantly
increasing; thus the speed of the
shot becomes greater and greater as it
goes out of the gun. Someiim
grains of powder still burning are
thrown out when the gun is fred,
which shows how slowly it ignites.
This new powder is brown, and it
is made up into hexagonal, or six
sided, pieces. with holes through
their centres. A mass of it looks ex-
actly like a lot of rusty iron nuts.
Each of these grains or s.prisms. is
about the size of a large walnut, and
when the charge is made up the
prisms are nicely piled, and over the
pile is drawn white serge bag. The
white bag is powder section" and
contains one hundred and ten pounds
of brown powder; and five of these
make up the full or service" charge
for the great thirteen-inch rife, whose
projectile is two-thirds as tall as an
ordinary man, and is larger, and
weighs more than many of the very
cannons themselves with which ADJ
miral Nelson fought the battle of Ira
falgar in 1905.

Washing Streets for Diamonds.

Perhaps the most interesting fact
in connection with Kimberley, South
Africa, the diamond city, is the s'street
washing" which has been a recog-
nized industry for some time past.
With the exception of two or three of
the principal thoroughfares all the
streets have been subjected to the
washing process, and some of the de-
bris washers have done very we'll,
The washing" consists of overhaul
ing the earth for diamonds.
At nearly every meeting of the bor-
ough council applications for permits
sion to wash streets or portions of
streets are received. The would-be
washer has to obtain the consent of
persons resident in the street or road,
to put the latter into sound repair
again and pay 1.-THE to the municipal
ity in Ga shape of 10 per cent. on his
gross finds. Last year $4,000 was paid
to the municipality in that way good
proportion of which represented COM
mission on street finds.
In the early days of the diamond
fields the ground was washed in q very
primitive style, many diamonds being
thrown away in the debris, as it is
called. This debris was subsequently
used for street-making purposes, and
now, years after, with better machinery
at their disposal, people find it pays
to wash the Streets"
Many houses built on maiden" de-
bris are removed in order to wash the
latter, and stones of comparatively
large Asze are frequently found by the
energetic debris washer, who literally
works from morn to night, from sun
rise till sunset. Pearson Weekly.

One of the exhibits which attracted
widespread attention at an historical
exhibition given in Saugerties recent
ly was quilt, the property of Mrs.
Richard Lewis of that village, who is Z
descendant of the Rev. Thomas judi

THE BEAM PROCESS.

Saturdays adjourned meeting of the board of directors of the Prescott min ing exchange came together at p. m. yesterday in the mining exchange rooms, says the Courier. There was a fair attendance. MT. Best was on hand with written proposition as to what the Beam process people would do and what was expected by them of the people of this section. The proposition seemed to suit all pres ent, but F. M. Murphy thought the wording of the proposition rather am- biguous, that it did not convey to all the meaning which MT. Best expressed in explaining the proposition. MT. Best said he would be pleased to agree to any language expressing his inten- tions clearer than his written propcsi- tion. The outcome of the discussion was an agreement to have a committee assist MT. Best in couching the propo- sition in language suitable to all par ties; President Fredericks appointed as such committee F. l.. Wright, B. w. Wells, Morris Goldwater, w. O. O'Neill, Col. Brodie, F. M. Murphy and Sam Hill. While the committee was at work MT. Best said he would look up location for the plant There was little difference in his proposition to what has already been published. He proposed to have his plant in opera tion as soon as possible after the $1O,- 900 bonus had been raised and placed in the bank, the money to be turned over to him at the expiration of three months operation of the plant, which plant would be put up as near Pres colt as possible. There are no noXious fumes arising from treatment of ores by this process, such fumes as might be a public nuisance. Seventy-five thousand red brick would be used in the construction of the plant, 12,00O fire brick and 240 pieces of t1ling 12x24 inches and two and half inches thick and ten tons of fire clay.

values out of the ore found in the shaft, the copper being lost in this op- eration.
 These lodges carry gold and copper, and some handsome assay returns in both metals have been received by the owners.
 The Evans group will soon be ac- cessible by a wagon road, work upon which has been under way for some time. Messrs. Evans and Williams are now devoting their attention to placer operations on Banty creek and the wealth they find there will be lent towards the further development of their copper properties here. They have a more promising field for the requirement of wealth in the copper mine than in the gold diggings, but the former takes more capital than they can command to operate it.
