How to Care for Rings.

Don't Wear Your rings under gloves
unless YOU remember to have them
thoroughly examined twice a year.
The constant friction wears out the
tiny gold points that hold the stones
in place, and unless strict attention
is paid to them they become loose in
Il very short time. Small purses of
suede leather are made on purpose
for rings. or any soft pouch of skin
or chamois may be used to place the
rings in when desiring to carry them
about They should never be put into
the ordinary pocletbook, as the rub
bling against coins is bad for them.
Diamonds can be cleaned at home to
look as we'll as when done by a jew
eler if only a little trouble is taken.
They should be thoroughly cleansed
in alcohol and then polished with box
wood sawdust. Pine s:.wdust is too
oily for this purpose-Chicago Daily

The Lost Mine.

Every mining section has its 'lost
mine" legend and the Grand Forks
district is no exception to the rule.
Pioneers of that section tell how a
young rancher of the valley, outlawed
because of murder, stayed for num-
Der OF months in hiding on Gelena
mountain, heavily timbered peak
which skirts the international boun-
Diary line four miles south of the city;
of how an intimate friend kept him
supplied with food, and was rewarded
by being given a description of rich
free gold finu which the outlaw had
made, and from which he had taken
enough of the yellow metal with such
crude appliances as he could construct
to pay his way to South America.
Interest in this romance has been
reviewed by the finding of free gold
ledge on this same mountain by a
miner named Bert Ring, who is now
working it with good results. Wheth-
er this is the same lead which created
a furry in the pioneers days will prob
ably never be known, but the recent
strike has convinced the doubters that
there is at least foundation of truth
in the story of Hogan.

London, Feb. 26-1. a. m.-The situa-
tion at Koodoosrand was virtually
unchanged Saturday afternoon, when
Gen. Roberts latest dispatch was sent
to the war Office.
Gen. Cronje was still holding his po-
sition under the concentrated fire of
fifty guns, and the Dutch relieving
forces outside the British lines had not
been massed in sufficient strength to eff
feet his deliverance.
The British outposts were attacked
in force on Saturday by Beers from
Natal and many We're killed and
wounded and nearly 100 prisoners were
taken by the British, including the
commandant.
The British casualties on Wednesday
and Friday were two killed and forty
eight wounded.
These figures indicated that Gen.
Roberts was besieging Cronjes be-
leaguered laager with artillery and
his infantry under cover and that the
Natal reinforcements had been beaten
back with slight British losses.
