She Supposed They Knew.

A story at the expense Of the Appa-
lachian Mountain club in Boston is re.
lated in Happy Thought. An excur.
sion party from the club, it appears,
had gone to a rural part of the state,
and in default of sufficient hotel accom-.
modations, some of the members were
obliged to seek quarters in a farm.
house. Simplicity was the order of the
day, Everything was scrupulously
clean, but there was a natural absence
OF some OF the luxuries of high-priced
city hotels. Some of the ladies of the
party discovered that there were No
keys in the locks of their rooms, and
waited upon the farmers wife. The
good lady was surprised. why" she
said, I'VE don't usually lock our doors
here, and there's no one here but Won.
But then, suppose you know your OWE
party best" The visitors did not N.

WOMEN rolLlNo IN IRON.

Nav Departure In Ptttsbufgn 0o"A.s
MIL.
Six sturdy women in this city are cut
%,ng ont n line of work for the sex tneS
NAV have interesting effects on tns
wage-earning opportunities 1or men,
saws Pittsburgh correspondent Oh ING
New York Press. Up to this time wnen
women have boldly entered fields MIN
erto monopolizcd by men those lines
of work have been chosen that called
for comparatively little physical effort.
Or. to put it in another way, the ampl.
tions of the new woman are intellectual
rather than physical. In the IRON MILLS
here intelligent women are doing work
which heretofore has been done ~
men or strong, growing young fellows
-"boys" they are called.
These six women are employed py
the Monongahela Tin-Plate company TO
manipulate the heavy iron sheets be-
fore the metal is trimmed.
Mrs. Hattie Williams WAS the first
woman to make the experiment. She is
the wife Of hard working Welshman,
a tinmaker by trade. She knew some
thing of the work before she began,
for she had seen women working in the
mills and mines in Wales. Her exam
pie was soon followed by Ave other
women.
The labor at which these women
spend their time is termed opening"
and the operatives are known as
''openers." The duties consist in sepa'
arating the sheets of thin, rolled iron,
after they leave the rolls, and preparing
them for the process of timing or being
soaked il molten tin. In rolling out
the iron sheets from which the tin
plate is made, the block plate, after
being given one pass through the
heavy rolls, is doubled and again sent
through, when it is once again doubled,
this being continued until, when the
plate is finished, it is made up OF eight
sheets. These sheets, after being
sheared and then gradually cooled, are
separated or ''opened." The work is
accomplished by blows from hammer
on an iron instrument, shaped like a
chisel. Once this is done the plates go
to the timing department.
This is the only known instance
where women have worked right in
among the heavy machinery OF the
sheet mills. To the women themselves
the labor is not disagreeable. Mrs,
Williams declares that she prefers the
work to scrubbing. 1t is not nearly sc
hard, she says, and. while it may seem
rough, it really is not, except on the
hands. In handling the thin tin the
fingers are often cut or torn by SHARP
points or ragged edges.

.NEWSOME IS A GREAT CAMP
50 Say Salt Lake Capitalists Vino Have
Invested Ia Quartz Mines.

Messrs. Campbell & Mcleod,
who recently bought the group OF
five claims adjoining the Iron
Crown on the south, at Newsome
creek, are in town. Both gentle
men spoke in glowing terms OF
their new acquisition, and feel
very much encouraged since their
return. In a talk to Pass re-
porter, they said: ave immedi-
ately commenced to sink on taking
possession, putting on two shifts.
We have not as yet, in the main
shaft, encountered the vein-that
is the Iron Crown lead-but that
does not make any material differ
ence, as we did not anticipate that
we would meet it short of 40 feet,
and we are now only down % feet.
We are putting in double COM
partment shaft three and half by
seven feet. Of course we had the
lead in our assessment work on
our claims adjoining, and uncov-
cred it for about 20 feet. The as
says were very satisfactory and in
sinking the shaft we are encoun-
tering the same formation which
overhangs the Iron Crown lead.
This, of course, refers to the main
workings, and not to any prelimi-
nary work.
"While the formation of the sec
ton is a fiat one, it has been thor
oughly demonstrated that the the
DRY of underlying stratas or big
veins is indigenous with this Sec
ton, as for example, the Lookout
and Harry mines, upon which con-
siderable development work has
been done, and both show the con-
tinuity Of the veins, which still un-
derlie the Iron Crown vein to the
south Of our properties. Hence
the theory that the veins continue
through our property at depth
must be correct.
GAS yet there has been no dem
onstration made in the entire sec
ton to show conclusively that eli
Their the bedrock or footwall has
been attained. Our intentions are
to continue the shaft spoken of to
a depth to intersect these underly'
ing stratas or veins, and hence
reach the lower contacts. All thu
ore with which we have come il
contact is free-milling, as for ex.
ample, the Iron Crown saves 8!
per cent. Of their values. This il
being illustrated every day.
IT will leave for Salt Lake ant
other points where l have Interest,"
tomorrow, to perfect arrangement
for the purchasing of other proper
ties at Newsome creek. This thor
oughly proves my belief in the sec
tom, said Mr.. Mcleod. "Mr
Campbell will remain here to prose

ment of our properties.

The question as to whether massage
originated in Sweden or China has
been much discussed, and the latter
country is evidently a strong claim
ant. According to long time Chinese
ideas, life is entirely dependent on AIR
currents" which are designated as the
primary aura of the organism. SO long,
then, as the body is permeated by the
air current it is proof against disease,
and the object OF physical exercises is
to circulate the air current. TO effect
this the Chinese system is divided into
three periods, each period occupying
100 days, the first period commencing
at the time of the new moon. The pa
tient must rise at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing and walk outside his house, taking
seven deep inspirations, and immedi-
ately after this two youths who have
been specially trained commence gen
tie friction all over the body, starting
over the cardiac area. At the time of
full moon n further set of inSpiratory
exercises are taken. Later on, in the
second period, the various parts of the
body are rubbed with wooden plankS
uLtil the muscles are hardened, and it
Is not until this hardening takes place
that the real physical exercises are TAX
en-. Between the fifth and sixth month
Is the period of greatest activity, the
European dumbbell being replaced by
large sacks filled with stones. 1t is in
the third period that the back muscles
are chiefly exercised.

Mice to Warn Miners.

or great Importance to miners are
the recent Investigations of DIR. Hal
dane Of oxford regarding the cause of
death In mining accidents. He found
that at the TylorstOwn catastrophe -
men out of 81 were killed by gas and
only five by the conclusion. The gas
has no odor, and, owing to this and the
fact that per cent of it in the air suf-
fees to kill a man, it is extremely dan
gerous. 1t has been found, however,
that mice are even more easily affected
by it than men, showing the symptoms
nearly half an hour sooner-in three
minutes. 1t is therefore suggested that
miners should take along some mice in
a cage and keep their eyes on them

Laurence w. Miller, recently return
ed from Cuba, tells this story of how a
popular drink received a singular name
in a singular manner: Mayor Bacardi
of Santiago makes very fine brand of
rum, to which he has given his name"
said Mr.. Miller. Not long ago a party
of Spaniards and Americans was gath
cred together at the Cosmopolitan club,
which is the new name for the old
Anglo a merican club. When the time
came for Il drink all around, one of the
Spaniards ordered Bacardi rum and
settlers. The next man said, so mismO,
which, being translated, means the
same The Americans, not knowing
the Spanish names of their pet drinks,
all chimed in, 'MismO.' Evidently the
connection pleased them, for the next
day one of the Americans dropped in
with some companions and ordered
four 'miSmOS.' 1t happened that the
same waiter was on duty, and he had
intelligence enough to know what the
Americans meant. Accordingly the
and the waiter told the joke to all his
friends. 1t spread with remarkable
rapidity until now every barkeeper in
Santiago knows what you are after if
you ask for Il ''mismO. In fact, you
rarely ever hear Bacardi rum and sell
ters spoken of in any other way now"
