a distance of 30 feet with an excellent
quality of ore exposed throughout the
distance. Again it is the intention to
open up entirely new ground during
the winter and to expose all the ore
possible for shipment next spring"
According to the notice of the com

BRIGHTENS THE SITUATION.
The Capture of Tien Tsin Clcmrr Away Vast Amount of Ap-
 prehension at Washington.

Washington, July 1s.-The whole Chinese situation was materially brightened upon the receipt of Ad- miral Remey's cable report of the cap ture of Tien Tsin by the allies. The press dispatch showing that this was the native walled city, cleared up an ambiguity that was contained in the admira's dispatch and swept away the last doubt in the official mind as to the importance of the victory The hostile Chinese have been driven out of the shelter of the city into the open plain, and the allied force has quad rupled its efficiency in combat by placing the Chinese in this position. It is not doubted that the forward move ment on Pekin will begin as soon as the cavalry contingent has arrived from Japan, which should be within a day or two.
 The moral effect of the defeat of the allies at Tien Tsin would have been terrible, according to army officers, and would have been followed by the extension of the Boxers revolt to all parts of China. Even the Chinese min- ister now thinks that this blow has done much to crush the rebellion. He also talks of peace commissions in q most significant way.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Unbleached canton nannel makes good dish cloths.
 It is we'll to keep lamps about two thirds full of oil.
 Lamps are not so detrimenta. to house plants as gas.
 A very hot iron should never be used for fannels or woolens.
 The great majority of small fresh seed fruits are laxative.
 Caiicoes, ginghams and chintzes should be ironed on the wrong side.
 Apples supply the highest nerve and muscular food, but do not give stay. The cost of maintaining a lamp is one-eighth that of any other luminant. Don't think water should be added to spinach to cook 1t. It is a mistake.
 A lamp chimney should be as large in diameter as the brackets will per init.
 Flannel should be ironed as little as possible, with a moderately hot iron.
 Don't fail to add a drop or two of vanilla flavoring to a pot of chocolate. It Is a great improvement.
