Cleaning Curtains.

It always pays to have a frame OF
light wooden strips to dry curtains
or. 1t should be the exact size Of
the curtains, so that they may be
stretched on it when wet and dried III
this way. Tack strip Of strong cloth
on all sides of the frame, and pin the
curtains evenly to this strip at the
bottom, top and sides. Or, if you
prefer, they may be basted to 1t,
though this is more trouble. Almost
any variety Of curtain can be washed
by the method given. Expensive Brus-
sells curtains had better be cleaned by
a regular French scourer, who under
stands how to handle real lace.
Before touching the curtains mako
a strong soapsuds of hot water in which
a tablespoonful of borax has been dis
solved for every gallon of water, and
half bar of soap shaved and melted
for every tubful Of water. Put the
curtains in this water. Souse them
up and down and let them soap we'll
covered over night. The next morn
ing examine them, put them through
q wringer and throw them into fresh
soapsuds. Souse them repeatedly and
scald them in a clothes boiler, and
rinse them as carefully as possible in
two OF three rinsing waters. If they
are white, blue them a little, but
bleach them by laying them on the
frames on the grass. If they are
creamy in color dry them in tue house,
and use a few tablespoonfuls of strong
coffee to preserve the yellow tint

Do Birds Eat Butterflies3

Natural1StS have as yet been uoaDle
to give decisive answer to the ques-
ton, Do birds eat butterflies or not?
Some unhes!tatingly answer 1t ~ the
negative, while others as positively
maintain that owing to lack Of suft1-
cient data 10 one is as yet warranted
in giving a decisive answer. In the
last number of the Revue Selentifque
there is an interesting article on the
subject which seems to show that
some birds certainly eat butterflies.
The writer, referring to the recent
Journey Of NJ. Katharinia through
Central Asiatic Turkey, says: "On one
occasion NJ. Katharinia saw a large
number Of butterflies hunted by birds.
In a short, time many butterflies were
killed. The survivors managed to con-
ceal themselves under some herbage
and the birds did not disturb them any
more. In spite, therefore, Of certain
assertions to the contrary, 1t can safely
be stated that birds do to some extent
prey upon butterflies. At the same
time it is worthy Of note that birds do
not pursue BUTTERFLIES except when the
latter are flying"

Railways and Roadways.

When a railway company undertakes
to extend it's tracks, or to put in a
switch, or do any other work of this
sort, the first thing done is to have
their engineer-an educated and
trained specialist-prepare the plans,
set the stakes, and superintend the
Job. They never trust BOBBY; they
do not trust even an experienced road
master, except with expert super
vision. When our county commits
sioners are charged with the care of a
road, they push the responsibility on
to some ignorant pike commissioner,
and apparently trust the devil to su-
perintend. He does usually, and very
effectively, with the result that we get
less for our money than any other

BLOOD FORETELLS DISEASE.
Remarkable Revolution Imminent ID Medical
Treatment

ITS0tmCuts
DR.. R. L. Watkins calls attention to
the remarkable revolution which ap-
pears imminent in the ordinary forms
of medical treatment Of the day. 1t IS
now possible to foretell the approach
of many subtle diseases months before
the ordinary symptoms appear. Inc
blood gives unmistakable signs OF the
approach Of disease, and all the pathoi-
ogist needs to read its warning IS
microscope. By doing this systemat-
ically doctors viii be able to detect
the disease in its premonitory stages
and have an infinitely better chance
of arrestlng CT curing IT, than If it had
had time to develop. Consumption can
now he suspected from the appearance
of the blood a year or more before any
cough sets in. At this early stage the
blood is seen to contain q number OF
small gray granules, which toat
around in the liquor of the blood. Col
lecting in patches they presently de-
velop into red cells and pervade the
lung tissue, forming tubercles. these
cells form the feeding ground of the
familiar bacilli of consumption. Inc
symptom of the incipient stages OF
apoplexy is the appearance OF long
line or rift sharply dividing the blood
corpuscles. Should this line be sharp
ly defined a fatal stroke Of paralysis
is probably near at hand, but other
wise there is no immediate danger. Al
though this indication can be often
observed before there is any other sign
of the disease, it is not entirely relia-
bic. a very curious harbinger OF par
alvsis is the web feet in the blovd. The
presence Of these in large number
shows that the heart is not strong
enough to pump the blood properly.
When the blood is in this state IN
marked degree the red corpuscles
often appear to be entangled in mass
of web. Then tendency then is to clog
the muscular veins, or those Of the
heart: The clogging Of the heart veins
is followed by paralysis. while If the
veins Of the brain are obstructed par
alysis of the limbs is to be expected.
The presence of certain other extrane-
! GUS matter in the blood leads to rheu-
matism of the heart, and the rupture
of blood vessels. When this matter ac-
cumulates beyond a certain degree it
! produces convulsion Of pain in pass
ing the heart and tends to stop the
action Of that vibrous organ. Blood
of this kind may be diagnosed when
seen under the microscope.

Gold Ring Around a Potato.

A citizen of South Dartmouth,
Mass, shows potato encircled by q
gold ring. The larger part of the
tuber apparently had lain very neal
the surface, and a portion of it had
grown down through the ring, where
the protruding end had increased in
size until it became impossible to re-
move the potato without breaking it.
The ring is of genuine gold and is
valuable.

Remove the skin and eyes. Crate

pound OF pineapple thus prepared al
low three.fourths pound Of sugar.
Put the sugar on the fire, with one
cupful Of cold water to every two
pounds of sugar. Heat slowly and let

fruit, which should be made very hot

boiling water at the back of the stove.
Heating the fruit in this way before
adding to the sirup prevents that hard

gether slowly for fifteen minutes.
Then pour into jars and seal when
cold. Four medium-sized pineapp!es
will make five pints of preserves.

fighting in little cabin back of the

They at once hurried to the cabin and
found two men in mortal combat. The
hour was late and there was little light
in the room, but it was sufficient for the
officer to see two mon pretty we'll cut up,
one Of them aourishing revolver and
beating the other, the men were placed
under arrest and brought to the city
Jail.
DR.. Eldridge was summond and found
the men both suffering from severe
wounds about the head. The officer
shot, but after DIR. Eldridge had probed
for the bullet he found the man had had
a hole made in his head by the hammer
OF the revolver. The doctor dressed the
wounds Of both men and left them rest

A story was currant this morning that
the men were fighting because one OF
them desired to hold up E. P. Chester

at the depot. This could not be con-
firmed.

Shares in mines, per value SO are now
quoted and being sold for $780, per share.
The stock of the Calumet and Heckla
mines, par value OF shares $25. are be-
ing sold for $1,000. There is a great
boom on in all copper propositions.
The mines of the Unaweep are looked
upon solely with an eye to the values in
copper 1t is now nearly two years
since there began active work in the
Unaweep and il the camp has resources
it is about time the country is knowing
Of them.
Time and again assays have been re-
ported running 60 per cent copper. II
these assays are bona fide, and we have
every reason to believe they are, why
have not more results been obtained
from the Unaweep copper district?
1t is not necessary for copper proper
sition to run in good ore to exceed thirty
per cent, to mske it a first class mine,
but of course there must be mineral,
no dependency must be placed on picked
ore to secure the thirty per cent copper,
One drawback which theU naweep coun-
try has suffered from greatly, is lack Of
capital. But it does not seem reasona-
BILE. il what is claimed in copper ore ex-
lists in the Unaweep prospects, backed
up by the results OF the assays, there
should be any trouble whatever in &C.
curing abundant capital to make the
Unaweep a great and rich camp.
The men who have worked to bring
tho Unaweep to the fore have an ever
lasting faith in its ultimate outcome.
However, while faith is all right, capital
is prerequisite to develop infant in
dustries. II their faith has not been
built on sand and they really know that
copper in paying quantities exist, now:is
their time, when copper propositions are
largely sought throughout the whole
country, to present their claim for re-
cognition.
Men, unaccustomed to the financeriug
Of a mining proposition might have
the wealth Of the Indies in their mines,
yet never become awsre Of it's wealth or
profit therefrom, unless by the aid OF
capital, which securing the necessary
machinery. they could uncover the hid
den wealth.
Is it not possible for all interested par
ties to band together and send an agent
into the mining centres to proclaim for
them the value OF the Unaweep district?
Send some one who is convinced Of tho
value Of the deposits, some one whom
can readil, have access to mining men
OF wealth; some ono who will engender
confidence in those with whom he talks.
That much IL possible to do, that
much should be done. The time is ripe.
