j. Il. Hart, manager of the Silver Ca
Ole company, was in town during the
week and rumor has it that he is soon to
start operations on that property, which
mas been idle two years on account of
internal trouble and litigation. There is
now SO ton capacity concentrator on
the property. Trouble in the company
arose Just at the time this mill was com
pleted and the same has never been
tested.
The Snow Shoe company are now
working over 100 men in their mine mills.
Late reports from the mine are to the
effect that large bodies Of new ore have
been discovered in the outer tunnel.
The payroll of the camp now exceeds
$500 per month, paid to laborers. The
above is figured on basis Of $2 per day
to the man. No one receives less than
S2.5O and from that to Is per day, and
the estimate is based upon an average
with price for board and loss of time de-
Quoted.
The Fisher Creek company are said to
be making $40 per day net with five
stamps and are making arrangements to
increase the capacity of their mill. At
present they have about 25 men in their
employ.
The American kootenai company have
all their machinery in for u O-stamp
mill with bucket and cable tramway.
Their sawmill is in operation and ma
chinery for the mine is being put in
place by force Of carpenters and mill
wrights from Butte. There are at pres
ent 25 men working at the property. A
new lOO-foot tunnel has been run and
shows remarkable values in the face of
the tunnel.
1t is reported that A. v. Howard at
Howard's camp is finding gold nuggets
in surprising quantities. He is now
reaping the benefit of last year, when all
his time was spent in doing dead work.
Ross Bros. are taking out the usual
amount of gold on their Libby creek
placers this season. They have sifted
the sands of Libby creek with profit to
themselves for many years.
Parties who have the 2OO- foot contract
on the Buzz Saw group for Messrs. Lar
son and Grenough are making good
progress and are now working in ore the
best that has ever been encountered in
the mine.
Although this has been an unusually
early season old prospectors say there is
now more snow in the ranges than at
any previous season of even date
At the democratic primaries last Sat
urday there were 1O4 votes polled and
the following delegates elected: M. j.
Brown, j. d. Weir, w. II. Smith, John
Powell, B. p. Green. In the election of
these delegates it is limited that some
thing went over the transom.

Liquor In Russia.

The Russian government is expert
encing great difficulty in its efforts to
restrict the almost universal use Of
liquor among the laboring classes. The
minister of finance says the govern
ment Is anxious "to save the popula-
tion from the baneful influence of the
innkeepers, who, in order to make
large profits, adulterated their spirits
with noXious and deleterious sub
stances which were proving ruinous
to the lower classes. The average
peasant was not content with remain
ing in public house until he had
spent his last farthing, but often
pawned his clothes, furniture and fu-
ture crops. The public houses were
acknowledged to be the most powerful
agents Of ruin and disorganization in
the economic life of the Russian people
and threatened the impoverishment Of
the whole agricultural population"

Great Peach Year.

Four millions Of baskets of peaches
from little Delaware and the eastern
shore of Maryland! That is now the
estimate made, not by the growers nor
the commission men, but by the prac-
tical, unsentlmental and truthful spe-
cial agent of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company, which expects to han
die large part of the crop All
through the peach growing district in
that happy part of the country the
report is the same. Not only will the
peaches be plentiful, but they will be
large and luscious. The yellows, so
long the bane Of the grower, has al
most entirely disappeared, and the
small, kpotty fruit, which in years
past helped to ruin the price of the
good peaches, will not be seen this
season.-Baltimore American.

The appeals to fear have well nigh
ceased, and yet there is no fact which
we are so compelled to see as the fact
of retribution. The law of retribution
works in our present life. We become
aware of 1t in our earliest infancy, and
we never become developed in charac-
ter until we have learned to fear that
which is evil and to shun the conse-
Quences of sin. There Is sense Of
righteousness In all men, and all men
know that unrighteousness brings pun
ishment 1t is fair to assume that
what is part of mans very structure
here will continue hereafter. We may
give up entirely the notion of a mate
rial hell, but we cannot give up the
doctrine of retribution. Suffering must
follow sin, and therefore to appeal to
fear is not only legitimate, but it Is In
accordance with the structure of mans
nature.-North American Review.

Faith.

The faith that life earth is being shaped
To glorious ends. that order. justice, love,
Mean mans completeness, mean effect as sure
AS roundness in the dewdrop-that great faith
Is but the rushing and expanding stream
OF thought, of feeling, fed by all the past.
Our finest hope is finest memory,
As they who love in age think youth is blest
Because 1t has life to fill with love.
Full souls are double mirrors, making still
An endless vista OF fair things before
Repeating things behind. So faith is strong
Only when we are strong, shrinks when W,
shrink.
1t comes when music stirs us, and the chords,
Moving on some grand climax, shake our souls
With influx new that makes new energies.
1t comes in swelling of the heart and tears
That rise at noble and at gentle deeds
AT labors Of the master artists hand,
Which, trembling touches to finer end,
Trembling before an image seen within. +
1t comes in moments Of heroic love,
Unjcalous joy in Joy not made for US -
In conscious triumph OF the good within, =;
Making us worship goodness that rebukes.
Even our failures are prophecy,
Even our yearniBgs and our bitter tears d
After that :air and true cannot grasp, \
As patriots who seem to die in vain
Make liberty more sacred by their pangs

A Cure For the Morphine Habit.

Great interest has been aroused in
medical circles in Germany by the dis
covery by DR.. Otto Emmerich of Ba-
den-Baden Of specific against NOR
phia poisoning and that peculiar form
of disorder known in Germany as
"morphinismus."
The increasing use of morphia
among considerable section of society
has been lately exciting much atten-
tion, and medical men have been una
BILE to prescribe any efficient remedy
1t Is claimed for DR.. Emmerich's dis
covery that 1t has proved infallible in
the numerous cases in which it has
been applied. 1t is distilled vegetable
oil of intense acidity, two or three
drops Of which are taken internally
daily. After cure, extending from
three to six weeks, patients acquire an
intense loathing for the use of the
morphia needle.-Berlin Dispatch in
London Chronicle.

Country Fairs.

1t will be but short time until the
fair season will be upon us again, says
The National Stockman. These annual
exhibitions should be of great benefit
to the farmers and breeders, and in
most cases they are. 1t is too true,
however, that in many sections our
annual fairs are not what they should
be. Managers have made the mistake
of catering to the tastes of the greatest
available attendants, and where the
city population outnumbers that of the
country the attractions have been of a
kind that was not edifying or educat-
ing for those who live in rural dis
tricts. The original idea of country
fairs has been lost sight of by some as
sociations. The blame for this is not
so much to be placed upon those who
run the fairs in many places as it is up
on those who allow them to be run for
other than their legitimate purpose.
The way to make good exhibitions of
this kind is to put good men In as man
ayers and then stand by them with
your support and encouragement. This
country owes much of its progress and
advancement to the country fairs, and
they should be maintained and i'm
proved upon from year to year.

In postoflice transactions the lack of
ingenuity and even of ordinary COM

Irrigatins Gardens and Lawns

There are some people who are sup
piled with city water and, having hose,
think 1t duty to keep the water run
ming all the time, or just as much Of it
as the water companies rules allow,
notes The American Cultivator. They
never allow the soil to get dry or warm
IT they can help 1t. Then they wonder
why plants and shrubs do not grow
better and have more blossoms, and
they get up earlier or sit up later to
run little more water on the lawn
and garden. They do not know that
warmth and occasional dryness are as
necessary to plant growth as moisture
only water lily would stand such
continual soakings. 1t Is to be hoped
that those who have made arrange,
ments for the systematic Irrigation of
their fields are wiser and know that
their fields do not want water running
through them all of the time.

SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND.
An Immense Sum Expended Annual
ly In This Form of Sport

AS to the sums spent on shooting
in Scotland, so large is the total that
1t is difficult matter to arrive even
at an approximate estimate. In Perth
shire alone there are 465 shootings, of
which about four-fifths are let to ten
ants and bring in about E150,00O a
year, or an average of f4O0 n year,
which seems about n fair estimate IL
1t be borne in mind that this is an ex-
pensive country and that 80 of its best
shootings bring f35,000, or an average
of f700 year. In the whole of Scot
land there are about 1000 shootings,
and as each of them must at least en-
ploy one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season some estimate
may be formed of the money expended
in wages and the number of people
employed.
In the deer forests and ON the larger
shootings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to eight others working for
the shooting season only. In well
known forest where | once spent many
pleasant days there were three for
esters, three gillies and three pony men
out each day. On the grouse ground
there were three keepers, with three
underkeepers, kennel man and two
carriers going to and from the nearest
railway station, total of Is men and
five horses, not to mention the ponies
kept for riding into the forest and
those kept to carry grouse panniers.
On this property three rifles could stalk
each day, while three other parties of
two each could shoot grouse, or the
six could combine for driving.-Cham-
bers' Journal.

Many farmers who grow grain fol-
low the practice of pasturing their
grainfields. The benefit to the cows
or swine or other stock is decidedly
great; but If the pasturing be done
under certain conditions it may seri-
ously injure the grain plants. For in
stance, If the soil in the grainfield be
very soft, the stock will trample the
roots so deeply into the ground that
they will not be able to grow, or in
soft ground the roots will not keep
their hold when subject to a pull and
will come up with the blades. This is
quite as fatal to wheat and rye plants
as is the tramplng of them too deeply.
If early sowing and an open autumn
have brought u dense mat of rye or
wheat, 1t may be necessary to Craze it
off. In that case the farmer can, when
the frost hardens the ground, turn In
his stock and guide them over the
field, and no roots will be pulled out or
trampled to death. In any case the
stock should not be allowed to roam at
will over the field nor to pass more
than once over any one part of it. Re-
peated tramping by heavy cows will
certainly injure the young grain roots.

Accurate TunneIing,

In description Of the recently open
ed Central London railway The Builder
says the longest separate length of tun-
mel driven was from the Westbourne
shaft to the Marble Arch shaft, the dis
tance being over 1,200 yards, and the
work resulted in an error of only FIVE.
eighths Of an inch at the point where
a junction was effected with the tunnel
driven by another firm of contractors,
In two of the sections bore holes were
put down into the tunnel for the pur-
pose of testing the lines, but generally
the lengths were driven through so &C.
curately that no recourse to bore holes
was found necessary.

Kilt. Too Much For the canaries.

An officer of highland regiment ar
rayed in a kilt created sensation in
Las Palmas recently and narrowly es-
capped arrest for being improperly at
tired. He had landed from the trans
port Lake Erie, and on the promenade
and in the hotels the unusual sight Of
"man petticoat" caused a futter
among the ladies.
Girls turned their heads away on
seeing him pass" says Ell Tele-
grafo Of Las Palmas, "and screamed
as if they had seen a poisonous reptile.
We noticed that certain ones amused
themselves with an insane curiosity as
to his Scotch stockings"
After describing the highlander as
wearing garment which from the
waist downward was kind of loin
cloth that exposed half his thigh"

ell for allowing any one to appear in
such guise.-London Mail.

Unbelief.

There Is no unbelief.
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod (
And waits to see 1t push away the clod.
He trusts in God. T.
Whoever says, when clouds are In the sky,
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by and by,''
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees meath winters field Of snow
The silent harvest Of the future grow
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says Tomorrow" "the unknown"
"The FUTURE" trusts that Power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids close
And dares to live when life has only woes
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelef,
And day by day and night unconsciously
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny
God knoweth why.

lRONCLAD FEVER.
A Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by Ventilation.

A Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by Ventilation.
In the fight between the Monitor and
Merrimac 1t was found that there was
not sufficient air in the turreted steam
er for the crew and that the suffocating
gases generated by the explosion of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered 1t practically impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled the INTRODUCTION of some ap-
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition of direct inter
ference with fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through a system of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made in later ironclads of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out tilc NtnStl, iHuS lutln
more than ever liable to suffocate the
men below in battle, while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
1t was in the early ironclads that a
peculiar disease developed which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever In this af-
fection the initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but In a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed by complete aphonia and this
by coma and death. The Introduction
of ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance of this singular disease,
and in time these metal boxes, almost
entirely submerged, came to be regard
ed as probably the most salubrious ves-
sells afloat.-Cassier's Magazine.

Or. on that bank, feel the west wind
Breathe health and plenty. please my mind
To see sweet dewdrops kiss these flowers
And then washed of by April showers.
Hear, hear my kenna sing song,
There see blackbird feed her young.
Or see laverock build her nest.
Here give my weary spirit rest
And raise my low pitched thoughts above
Earth, or what poor mortals love.
Thus, free from lawsuits and the noise
OF princes court, | would rejoice. ~
Or, with my Bryan and a book,
Loiter long days near Shawford brook,
There sit by him and eat my meat, n
There see the sun both rise and set,
There bid good morning to next day,
There mediate my time away,
And angle on and beg to have
A quiet passage to a welcome grave.

!. FOR THE FARMER. 4:


The record of area of standing tim
Der in the United States compared
with decade ago will form one of the
most valuable items in the federal CEN
sus Just taken, says The American Ag-
riculturist. The serious depletion, par
ticularly In the northern and eastern
states, has been matter of much con-
cern for number of years. Between
the requirements for building purposes
and the paper mills we will be happily
disappointed If the census figures do
not show SO great q loss as to bear out
the earlier predictions of a positive
famine period generation hence.
Fortunately the subject of reforestra-
tion and the intelligent care of our
wooded area Is receiving more atten-
ton than ever before and should do
something to permanently check the
disappearance of the forests. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
the well wooded south, with It's infinite
variety of trees, is receiving the atten-
tion of paper makers, who will proba-
bly, enlarge their operations in that di-
rection. The south seems to be pecul-
iarly rich In the forms of vegetation
suitable for the manufacture of cheap
paper not only in her forest reserves,
but in other fibers, sorghum, cornstalk,
wheat and rye straw, etc. There Is
certainly opportunity in the southern
states to establish this large and prof
table industry which In recent years
has received so much attention in up
per New England, New York, Wiscon-
sin and other northern states. Not only
should there be growth in the home
trade, but also in exports of paper,
which last year amounted to So, $4,000

The shortest absence brings to every thought
OF those we love solemn tenderness.
1t is akin to death. Now we confess,
Seeing the loneliness their loss has brought
That they dearer far than we had taught
Ourselves to think. We see that nothing less
Than hope Of their return could cheer or bless
Our weary days. We wonder how, for aught
Or all Of fault in them, could heed
Or anger with their loving presence near,
Or wound them by the smallest word or deed.

Judging Canned Goods.

In buying canned goods see that the
ends of the cans are concave or sunk
en-. If they are convex, it is proof that
fermentation has taken place in the
contents, and the stuff is not only unfit
for food, but dangerous. When can
is opened, all the contents should be
removed, as rapid fermentation in con-
tact with cheap tin generates danger.
