night. The bullion wagon which plies
between the bonanza from which it's
owner has already derived nearly H.
000,000S, and the station at Milford,
does not require as much "steam" to
propel it as in earlier days, when on
each trip it added over 20l,OJOs to the
gold of the universe, nor Is the hand
ling of it a very easy task at this time.
During all the time he has had charge
of the bullion train, Mr.. McKeon has
never been ordered to throw up his
hands, and while he has heard stories
of how the looting of it has at long in-
tervals been planned, he never heard
one in which he took any stock. How
ever, his vigilance has never been per-
mitted to relax, and it is not unlikely
that knowledge of this has induced
! the highwayman to allow him the road
while the bullion wagon was moving
Tribune.
Quite an excitement was raised at
Silver City this week by the discovery
of striuger Of ore just west of Leon
ards water tank and south of the end
line of the Potosi mine, which it is
asserted runs As high as 10, D0s per ton.
1t was not found by any one familiar
with the ground, but by couple of
"broke" prospectors who were strang-
ers there or they certainly would not
have gone to that locality to prospect.
They found some float in Long gulch
and followed up the indications until
they struck it. II is certainly one OF
the richest little finds ever made in
the district. 1t seems that the two
men bad been grubstaked at one time
by a couple of Boise gentlemen, in
whose name they located a half inter,
est in the discovery, and then, out OF
gratitude, located colored hostler in
a Murphy livery barn in with them
selves on the other half. The hostler

Regularity in Milking.

Regularity is important in any kind
of work. In handling cows it is
doubly important. They ought to be
MIXED at a certain hour mornings
and evenings; regularity in this re-
gard influences the habits of the ami
mails, induces the maximum milk flow
at the regular milking hour and
otherwise conduces to the profit of
handling mich cows. It is just as i'm
portant. too, to feed the cows at a
certain hour The most successful
way we know to diminish the milk
flow and ultimately to ''dry up" the
COW is to milk her irregularly and
h,:.-piiiazardly. Milking should be done
thoroughly, promptly, quietly and
above all regularly. and it is best for
one person always to do the work.

WORDS BORN IN THE WAR.
Some That Were Made Familiar by
the National Struggles of
Europe.

It will be interesting to note what
marks the present war will leave on
our manners, customs and language.
A big war has results of this kind, says
the London News. The wars with Ma
poleon gave us ''Wellingtons," "Bluch-
ers," and probably the long military
cloak. The Russian war supplied us
with a. new name for girls, alma, y
broke down the military lnoi1- if'eiiy OF
fringed upper lip, and made the long
familiar sight of his polished mahog-
any obsolete for the Englishman who
reached the stage of his dinner when
dessert is laid and the wine goes round
That war made mustaches common
and Coasters" a curiosity. The great
Franco-Prussian campaign had COM
,paratively little social influence on us
probably because we were not actual
belligerents. We learned to take inter
est in maneuvers, word which soon
superseded the old "sham fights" AS
yet the present war has Influenced
more our language than our customs
Trekking, outspanning, veldt, laagel
are slipping into use. Khaki has be-
come a familiar color, and Colonial
uniform familiar in our streets. We
may each note for ourselves these in
direct, unobtrusive, but probably last
ing influences of the war.

New Conden.inr Proces..

A patent has been issued in Ger
many covering a process of condens-
ing milk by freezing and thawing it
in centrifugal separator when in
motion. The work is said to be re'l-
dered easier by first separating the
cream and condensing the skim milk
after which it is mixed with the
cream. 1t is claimed for this kind Of
condensed milk that it can be again
diluted to its original volume, and
also that it does not have the sweet
taste to which some people object in
the condensed milk we now use. How
ever. the mere patenting of a process
does not prove its utility, and we may
have to wait Indefinitely for demon
stratiOn of its value.

wav she handles that thing, you'd ex-
meet to see a swelling biceps under her
sleeves. but she doesn't look little
bit strong"
When the young woman passed IN
front of a big street department
store, the shopping women who were
coming out pulled up and stared after
the Young woman who was carrying
a cased typewriter as if it was half
pound box of candy.
.What a muscular creature that girl
must be!'' they exclaimed. did you
ever try to lift one of those typewrlt-
ers? Why, they are as heavy as lead
| couldn't more than carry one OF them
across a room. And she changes that
from one hand to the other without
even leaning over to one side as she
does it, and holds it out SO that it hard
w touches her dress. Now, aren't ap-
pearances deceptive? You wouldn't
think that girl strong enough to drive
a picture nail to look at her, would you?
This physical culture for women is
good thing, and l do wish l could be
ambitious enough to go to a woman's
gymnasium" etc. etc.
The young woman's entire progress
along F street was marked by such
talk as this by the astonished people
who saw her easy manner of handling
the cased typewriter. She seemed I'M
conscious of the attention she was at
tracing by her exhibition OF marvellous
| strength as they phrased it, but moved
along trippingly without looking eth
er to the right or left.
Finally half dozen or so young men,
| out for their noon airing, began to fol
| low the young woman at respectful
| distance to see how long she'd be able
to carry her heavy burden without
showing sign of distress. She swung
along until she reached typewriter
establishment across the way from the
patent office. Lightly changing the
cased thing to the other hand sht
walked down the steps and into the
typewriter store, and the young mer
who had been following her at re
spectful distance out of curiosity stood
outside and peered through the win
dows of the store.
They saw the young woman put hel
burden on a table, unlock the clasp!
of the case from the Dashboard serew!
and lift the cover. The mystery wa:
explained. There was no typewrltel
beneath the cover. The young woman
heavy burden had consisted of til
/ hoc
board for the absent typewriter.
The young men who followed tn
marvelously strong young woman a
respectful distance and had stoo
peering into the typewriter establish
ment grinned sheepishly at each Other
called each other "Rubber!" and wen
their ways.

HE WAS AMBIDEXTROUS.
An Operator Held Revolver In one
Hand and Telegraphed with
the Other.

Six tramps entered the telegraph Of
fee of the Southern railway at what IS
known as Alexandria and Fredericks-
burg crossing about three miles west OF
Alexandria, shortly before ten O'Clock
one night recently, says the Washing
ton Post, and threatened to kill the
telegraph operator, James Cox, unless
he agreed to flag the Chesapeake d
Ohio train, which leaves Alexandria
southbound at II O'Clock. This train
is through express, one OF the fastest
on the road, and the operator refused
to comply with the tramps' demands.
Two of them had come into the office
to make the demand, and when it was
refused they set upon Cox and the
other four entered the office to assist
in the attack upon the operator.
When the tramps srrang upon Cox
he drew a revolver and razor from the
drawer and held them at bay. At the
sight of the weapons all drew back and
four of the six fed from the office and
disappeared in the darkness. The
Others tried to follow suit, but Cox Gov
cred them with his revolver, made
them throw up their hands, and forced
them into a corner. Covering the
hemmed in men with the pistol held in
his loft hand, Cox used his right te
work his key, and telegraphed to the
railroad office at Alexandria, describ
ing the situation out in the little office
miles away from help.
The instant the message was re
ceived at Alexandria the police were In
formed and an engine was made ready
In a few minutes it started for the A.
F. crossing with trainmaster and OF
ficers on board. When they arrived
the telegraph office they found Opera
tor Cox, with both of his captive
| penned in a corner, still covered witt
his pistol and thoroughly cowed. Tn
prisoners were placed aboard the en-
| CINE and taken to Alexandria an
locked up. The country around tn
telegraph office was searched by tn
| officers, but no trace of the othe
tramps could be found.

the leaves of an orchid. In Peru
they drink mate, a tea made from a
native species Of holly. The Abys-

the Catha edulis, which has such
stimulating qualities that even leaf
or two of it chewed has all the re-
viving effects of "the cup that cheers"
