Dehorning with Potash.

The Farm Journal says that dehorn-
ing with potash is. done by clipping
the hair away from around the buttons,
moistening the end OF the potash
slightly, and rubbing one embryo horn
for four or five seconds, then moisten-
ing the potash again and rubbing the
other horn in the same manner. Each
horn should be thus treated four or
five times. Four or FIVE minutes time
is required in dehsrning calf. Care
should be taken not to have too much
moisture about the potash, as it might
spread and remove the hair from too
large sur face. The calf should be
kept from getting wet during the mex,
few days for the same reason. Heal
ing soon follows the operation and
smooth polls result.

LONDON FROwNs ON BELMONrs

New YORK, May 5.-A London cable
to the World says: The Sloane di-
yorce and Mrs.. Sloane's rapid re-
marriage have excited amazement in
London society. The question has
been asked whether or not the Perry
Belmonts would be received here by
the set in which both were accustomed
to move on former visits. The answer
is emphatically no. English smart
society will 20 on for years receiving
women who notoriously are guilty with
members OF the same set. Not only
will 1t receive them, but hostesses
above question themselves will invite
these couples to their country-house
parties and give them every facility
for enjoying each others society, but
once an affair long winked at or even
connived at comes before q law court,
society absolutely closes its doors and
turns away its face from the woman.

NEW REFRACTORY ORE PROCESS,

Salt Lake Tribune, May 8: The
attention OF local mining men having
been called to a process by which the
refractory properties contained in the
ores OF Mercur and other camps may
be overcome at a cost of 10 cents ton,
party consisting Of Capt. DeLamar,
John Dern, David Keith and others
are scheduled to attend "demonstra-
ton" billed to take place at the prop
erty of the Magnolia mining company,
Boulder county, Colorado, about the
Goth of the present month. III ii
masters the ores of that locality. said
Capt. Ed. Richards, who has mined
there, yesterday, it can master any
proposition on earth. The process
consists of nothing more than the
elimination Of the base properties,
and this is done at cost of 10 cents,
the calcined product is treated either
by chlorine or cyanide of potassium,
the inventors guaranteeing an extrac-
ton of over 30 per cent with the use
OF the former. III. l.. Probert, the
well.known mechanical engineer who
is now in the city, has been inviting
the attention of the Utah mining men
to it. and quite an attendance is prom
ised at the demonstration. Ores OF the
Golden Gate mill at Mercur are being
successfully handled with the aid Of
heat. but not at 10 cents ton, and the
owner, convinced that the new process
is what has been represented, an ex-
perimental furnace will no doubt go up
at Mercur.

NEW CUBE FOR COSsUMPTION.

A late dispatch from Rome says
nearly all the Italian newspapers are
devotlng much space to the alleged
consumption cure which Prof. Vincent
Cervello OF the Palermo University
claims to have discovered.
His methods consist in making his
patients respire what he describes as a
specially prepared air, thoroughly inn
pregnated with healing vapor. Twenty
six consumptives who are gravely
affected by the dreadful disease, were
handed over to Professor Cervello for
treatment on January 18th, and last
week the following result was an
nounced:
Ten of the patients were perfectly
cured, nine were almost cured. five
showed great improvement in their
condition and two had died.
Professor Cervello presented the ten
cured patients to the Academy of Medi-
cine for examination. The most scruti-
nous diagnosis did not reveal single
remaining trace of tuberculosis.
Senior Florio, wealthy banker, had
placed one OF his estates at the dis
posal of Cervello for further expert
ments on a larger scale.

Salt Lake Tribune, May g.: Osceola,
Nevada, has brand-new, twenty
stamp free gold mill in operation, it
having been started on the Sd with
three large bins full OF ore and twelve
men breasting out ore. This new
enterprise belongs to Scranton, pa }
people. The ore is taken from the
mine formerly known as the Exchange,
the Eagle. Crescent and other mines
there. Under the new management
the property has not been given a
name. The name of the company will
be made public In few days, when
the complete incorporation is made
public. This new plant did not cost
less than $4,000. and it promises to
do much for that district. They have
ore in sight sufficient to keep this mill
running for many years. The ore is
delivered direct from the mine cars
into the bins in the mill. 1t is esti-
mated that this mill will crush forty
or more tons of ore per day, and the
ore will average well in production Of
gold.
The SHOWS on the Wheeler or JEFF
Davis range have commenced to melt,
much to the qualification Of the placer
miners, who hope for a good season.

The latest story of the fight near Apis,

cording to the story Of the marine who

Postage TO be Reduced TO One Cent
The enormous increase in the num-
Der of letters carried in the U. S. mails
makes it certain that the rate of post
age must eventually be reduced to one
cent an ounce. The President who
succeeds in getting such measure
through Congress will hold a high
place in the esteem of the people, but
no higher than the esteem in which
every ybody holds Hostetter's Stomach
