One good farmer who lives in a dairy

wonderful what an immense quantity

SEPARATION.

An Improvement in the process OF
separating gold and silver from the
ores has been devised by Henry
Rhodes of Denver. The preparatory
method is to grind the gold and silver
ores to the desired fineness and then
add a certain percentage of common
gypsum, also reduced to a certain
mesh. To the ground ores and gyp-
sum is added water. and the thorough
mixing or churning of the primal in
gradients begins. When this churn-
ing or mixing reduces the ore and gyp-
sum to the consistency of clay the
matter is taken out and nodded into
any desired form. and left to dry, which
requires but very short time. After
the bricks or slabs have become suffi-
GENTLY dry they are ready to be dump
ed into tanks or other receptacles and
a chemical solution is turned on; and,
the matrices being entirely porous, the
chemicals permeate the bricks, carry
ing away the solution from 95 to 80
per cent of all the gold in the ore

MORITURI TIE SALUTAMUS.

The Balearic islands which Spain
is fortifying got their name from the
Greeks. Literally it means The Isles
of the Pitchers. The inhabitants
were immemorialIy great, not at base
ball, but with the sling. In adopting
them Spain adopted too, the pastime.
She has been throwing stones inter-
mittently ever since. The adoption
occurred long time ago. Originally
Carthaginian they became Roman, in
the course of that dispute which is his
torically catalogued as the Second
Iunic war. Subsequently the vandals
passed that way and after them the
Moors. 1t was six or seven centuries
ago that they we're set jewel fashion in
the diadem where they glitter still.
A trifle out of the beat of Mr.. Cook,
neglected in consequence by the aver
age tourist, they are still primitive in
addition to being very beautiful, very
silent and very quaint. Chopin adore0
tiIem; so, too, did George Sand. The
Romans were very fond of them also.
The larger ones of the group are Ma
jorca, Minorca and Ivica. Majorca
used to be distinguished for the cut
and quality of its ready made clothes.
From Minorca, which in fair VIM
was but FIVE days sail from the II
bers mouth, came potted herring, fat
black grapes that stained the chin, and
wax yellow as amber. To Ivica the
Romans sent their togas. According to
Strabo there was a baphia there, a
dyeing establishment. No trace OF 1t
remains today. Yet if an archaeolog-
ical superstition be worth row OF

In the orphan asylum 1876 children
are sheltered who would otherwise be
thrown upon the state. These, as well
as the sixty poor old colored men and
women and many of the children in
the school, are dependent upon the
sisters for their daily bread. For
merly the sisters obtained a fair rev.
enue by going through the streets OF
New Orleans from door to door, and
into business houses and railroad Of
fees, soliciting aims for their charges.
So quietly did they labor that few out
side the city were even aware of the
existence of the order, the only colored
sisterhood in the United States. But
the yellow fever which broke out in
the south in August caused that sec

ed from one of the sisters says:

Answer.-In the year ending June

1,2S6,15c short tons of ore and shipped
53,51S short tons of copper, which
would be S3.9 pounds copper per ton,

1,425,749 short tons OF ore were treated
and sc, 1872 tons of copper were made
and shipped, that is 95.8 pounds per
ton, or asa per cent. There is NO rule
as to the percentage of copper in ore

In the old French quarter of New
Orleans with its narrow streets, lat
ticed windows and jealousy guarded
courts, where the fig and orange tree
grow, is a square of rather miscella-
neous architecture Its central build
ing, III Orleans street, is several hun
bred years old. 1t has a stately en-
trance, with great pillars and old fash
toned, ornately carved doors. 1t was
once the old Creole opera house and
ball room of the early days. Now it
is the home of the colored nuns. Yet
the order is not such a very modern
one, after all, for it was founded in
New Orleans over half century ago.
It's members are now we'll known fig
ures on the streets of the Crescent
city. The special object of its institu-
ton was the education and moral
training of young colored girls and the
care of orphans and aged infirm peo-
pie of the race.
One of the most interesting parts of
the convent is the orphan asylum,
where children ranging in age from
the wee tots beginning to walk to girls
of II and IA years are cared for. One
