BIG COPPER SHELTER.
Likely 10 Be Put In Operation Soon by German
SYNDICATE In Shasta County, Cal.

Redding, Cal, June 2s.-It is stated
that capitalists intend to soon build a
great smelter In Shasta county. During
the last three years George Bayha, To-
cal representative of a German synds-
cate. has fled locations in 20 copper
claims on Saltwater creek, about 20
miles from Redding. Extensive devel-
opment work has been done on these
claims and the syndicate has secured
options on considerable adjacent lands.
Electricity generated by water power
will be used for motive power and for
other purposes. There seems every evil
dence that the German syndicate viii

A Single Flower.

A single flower is sometimes better
than two. One pansy has been known
to brighten whole house. A young
woman in town who takes delight in
giving flowers to her friends confines
herself as rule to just one. If the
friend is ill she gets one luscious rose,
q spray of lilies. one perfect chrysan-
themum, or some other such flower.
Of pansies, sweet peas, nasturtiums,
etc., she takes small bunch.
ct would not like to take SO few," q
friend remarked to her thoughtfully
one day.
MOP" she replied. "sometime I
am thought stingy, I suppose; but I
have learned that ordinarily I get
more enjoyment out of one flower or
few than many. THERE'S propriety in
all things. I would not think of send
ing single flower or tiny bunch to
q debutante, for instance; would get
the biggest my purse would afford, but
when it is merely token of remem-
brance, and Il think of you and wish
you well,' CT one woman to another, I
prefer O few. If it is formal affair
the many must rule. It is the informal
sweetness of it that I like for one
thing and for another the beauty Of
the flowers themselves. Ihave vase
at home that holds a single pansy. I
revel in that vase with it's posy. Two
would spoil it. Buffalo Express.

ing correctly, she can turn out a really
good waist.
But silk ones are another story,
with their endless number of tinv
tucks; the delicate hemstitching; the
rolled edges, with narrow embroidery
slipped in, and all the perplezing de-
tails. So much depends upon the set
at the back, the hang of the sleeve,
the way buttons are sewed. and, above
all, the cravat, that it is small wonder
that a woman prefers to be well
dressed in one expensive waist rather
than have several badly made or in
ferior in quality.
For silk waists, tucks and hem-
stitching are the proper mode. The
tucks may run lengthwise in groups,
may be tiny or large, or stitched IN
squares. So long as tucks are used
one cannot fail to be in the fashion.
For flannel combination of stripes

fort no design can be found which

An American Queen.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis
News says that when the town of
Boerne, near San Antonio, Tex, was
settled in 1S45, by colony of Ger.
mans, the settlers.were told they could
live as they wished, provided they
we're good, industrious citizens. They
selected from their number "a man
and his wife of mental as we'll as phys
ical weight" as their king and queen,
whose edicts and commands they
agreed to obey to the letter. They
were much astonished several months
later to learn that this state of things
would not do in this country, and the
king and queen were deposed. The
king is dead, but the ex.queen still
livee. She is worth 100000, and
owns one-third of the town, but tax es
in laundry work and bends over her
tub six days il the week. Her word
is still law with the older people, and
some of the younger ones.

Genius fs Industry.

observes, is. in original nature, moth.

full soil, upon which an art can never
properly thrive, except it be cultivated
with indefatigable pains. Genius,
says Music is term which is too
often mere precocity, or talent Of q
order early revealed. Precocity can
only develop into genius when it is
married to science and industry. In
dustry will improve the means of ca.
pacity, and kindle every latent spark Of
genius which would, as it were, have
remained in obscurity. In no in
stance where early talents have been
followed by success in maturer life has
there been lack of application. And
on the other hand, no. indolent gifted
one ever turned out an accomplished
character; but many who, in their
earlier years, promised nothing but
stupidity, have, by making good use
of their opportunities, acquired tai
ents that nature had not originally
bestowed on them. which, though
they may not rival the united efforts
of genius and application, will always
command respect.-London Globe.

Dark Lightning Flashes.

The other night, during thunder
storm of rare severity, in which bril-
liant hashes-single, double, triple or
quadruple-followed one another at
intervals often OF not more than few
seconds of time, I was surprised to
see with great vividness on sudden
ly illuminated sky two nearly vertical
lines of darkness, each of the ordinary
Jagged appearance of bright flash OF
lightning. I remembered to have
seen two real flashes of just the same
shapes and relative positions, and I
concluded that the black flashes were
due to their residual influence on the
setina.

dark sky outside to an illuminated
wall inside the house, and I again saw
the same double dark fash, which
verified my conclusion in an interest
ing manner. The fatigued part ofthe
eye failed to perceive the sudden
brightness of the sky in the one case
and Of the wall in the other.-Lord
Kelvin, in the Electrician.

Bicycle Not Perfected Yet.

Talk concerning the cycle having
arrived at perfection is simply silly
chatter. Positive statements of this
nature were peculiarly rife just before
the introduction Of pneumatic tires.
A modern high-grade cycle is indeed
work of art and skill, but no one,
not even its maker Except when con.
cocting his adrertisements), can call
it perfect. No one cycle combines in
itself all the best ideas, no two per.
sons quite agree as to what is best in
every particular, yet if the cycle were,
as alleged, perfect, it would not ex-
hibit such striking difference nor be
30 considerably argued about. It
would be accepted in its one perfect
form, as perfect, by everybody. This
Elysian state is not yet.-Bicycling

the length of the celebration in New. York,
which is still unsettled. The principal
features Of the reception in Washington,
as planned by the citizens, with the CO.
operation Of the President and Cabinet,
will be two In number-tbe presentation
of the sword voted by Congress and a

White House will be followed by dinner
to the Admiral by President Mckinley.
The sword will be presented by Secretary
Long, at the east front Of the Capitol, In
the presence Of Mr.. Mckinley and all the
members Of the Cabinet, late In the aft
ernoon, while the parade, consisting OF or
eanizations Of all kinds, will be acconpa-
MED by an illumination Of the city on
scale Of beauty never before witnessed IN
Washington.
The different features Of the prepara-
tions are in the hands Of central body
of citizens and eleven committees, en-
bracing in all over thousand people,
Preparations for the celebration have
been in hand for over month.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ana
other railroads entering Washington have

ton, and the committee expects that there
will be an outpouring of patriotic citizens

Prison Lite Conducive to Longevity.
For forty-two years George Knight,
who murdered his wife in Poland,
Androscoggin County, Maine, in 1856,
has been serving his life sentence in
the State prison at Thomaston. 1t is
a remarkable record, without an equal
in our State, and probably few equals
anywhere. OF all the men who took
q prominent part in the events which
led up to his conviction, he alone is
alive to-day. The Judge that SEN
fenced HIM is dead. His counsel is
dead. The County Attorney and the
Attorney General who conducted the
case against him are dead. Dead,
also. are the court officials and nearly
all the jurymen, and yet these men
lived life of freedom and his has
been passed within prison walls. He
is now eighty-two years old, and is
still in good health and clear of mind
and eye. He was first sentenced to
death, and we venture the opinion
that he has regretted many times that
this sentence was ever commuted.-

and weight. 1t is neither so long nor
so heavy as heretofore. There seems

waistband into which the watch was
tucked. Some of the newest chains
are quite fine, and extend about half
way to the waist, supporting a small
