styria's IRON CITY.

otyf1A'e ATOR CITY
One Of the busiest places In the Aus.
tro-Hungarian empire is a little town
in Styria-Eisenevz. Eisenevz Is, as
the name itself says (eisenevz means
iron ore). immensely rich in iron ore,
and It's mountains have been worked
for centuries. The deposits are said to
be almost inexhaustible. 1t is stated
on good authority that iron ore was
hrst worked there in the year TIP. A
stone column erected in 1882 gives data
on the first working OF the ore. The
Syrian iron is world renowned and
finds it's way all oyer Europe. For the
Manufacture OF steel Il iS. unrlyaled.
Syrian steel is largely used In Austria
Hungary, Germany, France. Belgium
and England for the manufacture of
swords, cutlery and Ana instruments
and tools. The output OF the mines Of
EisenevS amounts to over 5000, COO
quintals, or 500. 0.O00 tons, a year.

effort she lifted him up, for she was
strong from much outdoor work, and
staggered with him from the lost
trenches to the shelter OF the great
rock which had previously hid the
cart. Her soul was full Of bitterness
because the trench was taken, but yet
her heart was glad when the prince
opened his eyes and smiled on her. At
least she had saved him from the fren-
zied demons with the bayonets.
The Scots, however. could not hold
the position for long. Boer artillery
from ether hopjes was trained on
them. They In turn retreated, and
night fell upon the battle.
Behind the rock Marie gave the cor
net water and eused his agony Us best
she could while waiting for the sur
geon and ambulance. Hausmann's
eyes were always on her face.

He Aimed High.

President Lincoln once had q singu.
lar interview with persevering stran-
ger. This was a man who had been
noticed banging about the White
House in Washington. Asked his busl-
ness, lie said he wanted to see Mr.. Lin
coin and was not going away until he
had seen him. Ultimately the presi-
dent granted the visitor an interview.
"Say, Mr.. Lincoln" he began, "do
you want secretary Of war? For, IL
you do, I'm your man."
The president Informed him that at
that moment he was not In need of
such an article.
With that the stranger withdrew, but
as he was leaving the room he turned
and said. "Say, Mr.. Lincoln, have you
such thing as pair of old trousersY'
After hearty laugh, Lincoln told his
visitor he almost deserved the secre-
taryship, because" he added, "you
aim high"

Alfalfa.

Wherever alfalfa will grow there it
ought to be planted, and the true test
of where it will thrive can only be de-
termined by experimenting, and these
experiments should be carefully and
intelligently made.
An enthusiastic writer on alfalfa
says: "It is weather proof, for cold
does not kill it, and heat makes it grow
all the better. A food will not drown
it and fire will not burn it. It bores
like we'll digger, and, unlike we'll
digger, don't stop till it reaches water.
Cattle love it, hogs fatten upon it and
hungry horse wants nothing else.
Once started it stays like Canada
thistle or an iron bound mortgage, but
euriches instead Of impoverishing the
farmer
Probably the writer painted little
TOO vivid, but there is no question that
alfalfa is profitable, easy cared for
crop when once planted. Fields Of it
twenty and thirty years old are not
rare, and there is said to be field Of
alfalfa in Mexico which is nearly three
hundred years old. 1t will be safe to
try planting it on good corn land. pro-
vided that said land is, Mt no time,
covered with water for over forty
eight hours.

Irish Potatoes and Bots.

Sc far as known the juice Of Irish
potatoes is better calculated to cause
the bot to let go the lining Of the
stomach than any remedy that can,
with safety, be given the horse. The
Juice docs not kill the bots, but causes
them TO become numb. Hence they
curl up and let 60, and the horse is re-
lieved from his bots. Six to twelve
tubers will furnish enough Juice,
when scraped, to relieve the worst
oase.-D. T.. StephensoM.

How TO be Beautiful.

What shall do to be Lcautiful?"
How can preserve my good |
looks?"
"What is good for poor complex
ion?"
Have sou simple receipt for the
care Of the hair?"
These and countless other questions
on the subject Of beauty, which are
being constantly propounded, have
become annoying in the extreme, and
equally unanswerable. 1t is disagree
bic to degree.
Beauty is not material something
that can be obtained at bargcin- coun-
ter prices. 1t is Nature own handi-
work, wrought in her own mysterious
and inimitable way. It's possession
is not an unmixed pleasure and a JOY
forever. 1t is only attractive accord
ing to the temperament of the behold
er. Those who seek it most ardu-
ously most frequently lose it in the
chase.
If there is formula by which
beauty can be acquired, its ingredi-
ents havc yet to be revealed.
If there are any rules for the preser-
vation of beauty, they are as simple
as the routine Of well-regulated life
1t is the woman who is constantly
striving to be beautiful who never
gains the prize.
1t is the woman who works hardest
to keep her beauty who fades earliest.
This is because she constantly wor-
ries about her looks. If there are any
rules applicable, this is Of first i'm
portance. Don't worry.
Beauty is. after all. but the mere
externals. II you haven't it it cannot
be acquired. Talent, on the other
hand, is inherent, but you can only
reach your dramatic fulfllment by
ceaseless effort and hard work. Work
tells in everything. In this day. the
law of the survival of the fttest rules
supreme, and the law operates equita.
bly, for the most beautiful and the
very plainest. This is especially true
Of the stage. Those who can act are
given instant preference over those
who cannot, and beauty cuts but q
small figure in the selection. We like
our friends best for what they are, and
not for their beauty.
Always DO the best you are capable
of, no matter what you may under
take. There is beauty inothat. A
clear brain aud an active body is the
first step toward beauty. Lndolence
breeds cynicism, and cynicism soon
shows the imprint on the face. A
sure sign of fading beauty is harden
ing of the lines of the mouth. Think
good thoughts, read only good books,
and preserve your tender expression
which you can do only by preserving
your tenderness of nature.
Don't dissipate. If you do you will
surely pay the penalty. Dissipation
and good looks never go hand in hand.
Lack Of sleep or anevsn hours Of rest
play sad havoc with all of US. ''Be
good and you will be lonely" is not SO
true as it sounds.
If you must exercise, dom { overdo
it. If your work itself does not keep
your body in perfect trim, cycling,
swimming, and walking in moderation
are excellent forms Of exercise.
If beauty can be preserved these
suggestions may help, but as fol
beauty itself, like genius, it is born,
not made.
