ST. LOUIS is counting up the cost of
the pending strike in that city on the
street car lines. The Republic notes
that the bank clesrings fell of In one
week 50, $50, 600; that the loss on busi-
ness during the first five days of the
strike amounted to g.. 600 600. Nearly
every mercantile activity In the city
has been crippled. The cost to indi-
viduals mounts up, for instead of five
cents to ride to their work, the wagons
charged individuals from 10 to so cents
for riding. Those who could afford it
paid still more for riding in carriages.
The only persons in st. Louis directly
or Indirectly benefited by the strike
were the livery stable people and the
team and wagon owners. The wealth
that has been destroyed, the Republic
urees, is as great as II q big fire had
swept the city, and it Is not at an end

Ell pASO'S 6RANDEST OppORIU
NIFTY.

Again arc again the HERALD has ur-
ged the importance of pushing Ell Paso
to the front as the undispused mining
center OF the Great Southwest. In con-
sidering the natural resources upon
which Ell Paso must build enduring
prosperity, the various mining inter
ests take such unquestioned prece-
dence that the line along Which Ell
Paso should work for quick and abun-
dant returns is clearly indicated.
1t is the mining interests that made
Denver great, and whether we get,the
international dam, cheap water sup
ply, electric cars, more trunk line rail-
roads, and good streets and side walks,
or do rot get these things, we can de-
pend upon the mining interests of the
surrounding country to make Ell Psso
q great city, provided our business naen
realize at once and realize fully the ur-
gent need for action.
We must work and work hard during
the next few years, to concentrate the
mir ing industry of the Great South v est
in the city of Ell Paso, and build foun
dations for future grow tn that nothing
can shake.
There are three divisions of this
work. Ell Psso must have q mint, q
mining exhibit, and q mining ex
change. Certain individuals are al
ready working hard In the inter est of
the mint project. Favorable responses
have been.received from a number of
senators and representatives, some of
which have already been published in
the HERALD. There is every indica-
ton that no opposition will be made TO
the establishment OF a puroh asing mint
here, and the probability is that such
An Institution would be followed soon-
of q coinage mint.
With q purchasing mint located in
this city all the gold from Mexico,
Arizona. and New Mexico would be
brought here for assay and conversion
into coin of the United States. This
city would become more and more of
q headquarters for the miners of the
surrounding country. 1t is said that If
We hsd purch asipg mint the Kansas
City Smelling and Refining company
would put in q refining plant at toeir
smelter here. Were this done all bull
lion resulting from the reduction of
ores throughout the Great Southwest
would come here to be refined and
marketed, instead of being sent to San
Francisco, Argentine, Denver or other
points.
Denver's fine new coinage mint,
which will soon be ready for business,
will employ not far from 400 men and
women. Ell Paso may expect such an
Institution as this when her domina.-

While work for the establishment OF
a purchasing mint here Ia going quiet
~ on through congressional channels,
there is something in which avery Ell
Paso business man can join most hear
tily. This is the project for great
mining exhibit, which shall have COM
prehensive collections of minerals from
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Old
Mexico. The project should be plan
ned on q broad scale. Our people
should not be content with small and
localized exhibit. A line of action ls
pointed outin letter from S. M. Davis
printed in today's HERALD. 1t is al
most certain that MEXICO and the ter
ritories will give their official support,
aud with hard work Ell Paso can
within a year or two accumulate the
finest mining exhibit In the west.
A mining exchange will newt
ably follow the consum-
nation of the plans above out
lined. The exchange should be run
from the first upon conservative and
honest business principles. Wild cat
schemes and private speculative ven
lures should be rigidly ruled out from
the first. For any stock to be listed on
the Ell Paso exchange ought to be
enough to guarantee It's stand
ing. There ia no reason
why Ell Paso should not become
within five years one of the great
market points of the world for bullion
and mining stocks.
Ell Paso has all this within her grasp
IL her business men will act at once,
act quickly, and act together along the
lines indicated.

why sultan Gave Up MIX.

The sultan was impressed with the
idea that fresh milk was an excellent
thing for the health, of which he Is
very careful. In fact, nearly always
when ambassadors have private audi
ences, the greater part OF the time is
taken up with questions Of hygiene.
One memorable occasion, when Sir
Philip, now Lord Currie, waited on the
sultan to discuss some momentous
question, his voice was almost lost, as
he had been waiting for some time in
a cold room. On the sultan perceiving
this he would not discuss politics, but
begged Sir Philip to go home and
drink hot milk. But this is DEPRESSING
from my story. To make sure of hav-
ing his milk fresh the sultan every
morning had the cows brought in
front of his windows to be MIXED,
and felt quite sure that no one could
tamper with the milk. Unfortunately,

Ways In Which They Are Rendered Pal
atabls In France.

The large French chestnuts are
again in market, and are beginning to
be used as one of the substantial lunch
or dinner dishes by many families. In
many French homes it is the practice
to roast them slowly until soft, then
send them to the table. where each
member bulls his own, then cuts them
in half and puts bit of butter be-
tween before eating, says the New
York Post. Another way is to hull
and throw them into boiling water
for a few minutes, so that the skins
can be easily removed, after which boil
for twenty or thirty minutes, until
soft; then put through one Of the pat
ent potato Washers, and they are ready
to eat as a porridge with cream or
rich milk. After boiling and MASKING
they can be seasoned with butter and
served in the place of mashed potatoes.

he would get from the housewife or.

This he would build a dam around the
place where he intended to put his

formed he poured the melted lead.
When the metal cooled. he would brush
away the dam of dough that had con-

the employment of a microbe which
will convert starch first into sugar and
next into alcohol. The whole operation
is carried on in closed watts, every ma
terial being sterilized, so that there
can be no microbes present except
those specially bred in the laboratory
for the purpose. These microbes were

DIRT EATERS.
Tho Grenadines in tho west Indies Have
Many of Them. - B

Tho Grenadines in tho West indies Have
Many of Them. B
You can't convince the coolie Of the
Grenadine Islands, West Indies, thai
there is any harm in eating dirt. His
own diseases ought to convince him
but they don't. The rest of their diet
is simple and meagre. For the most
part they are vegetarians. They eat
rice, peas, curry and ghee, specially
prepared butter in great use. Most
protesting vegetarians do not exclude
from their diet milk and eggs, but
these coolies will not touch either, ex-
cept when they are in hospital and
forced to do so. To hard workers in
the cane fields under a scorching tropi-
cal sun such frugal diet cannot be
supposed to be productive of health
Or robustness. And when to this sort
Of food is added the luxuries of dirt
eating, it Is no wonder that these cool
les are bloodless and stiff-jointed.
These ills are characteristic of the
race. t
Coolie patients in the English hos
pitfalls of Carriacou, one of the' Grena-
dine islands, frequently are found to
have gravel hidden in their clothing,
and they cry and beg for it like the
morphine eater for his dope. This
stuff which they eat is a SOFT slate
colored or grayish stone. Sometimes
the pulverized dirt is made into cakes.
II there isn't much of this to be had,
the coolies eat rags, paper and coke.
A coolie who is well along in the art
Of dirt eating is swollen all over the
body, and the muscles of his legs are
tense. His face is puffy and has dis
tressing look of WEAKNESS and prema-
ture age. He is short of breath, and is
unable to speak, so that he has to
make signs to indicate his condition.
His tongue Is swollen and flabby and
lies in the floor of his mouth, from
which he cannot raise it, from pure
weakness. 1t is marked strongly with
impressions of the teeth. He has Sc
we're headaches, dimness of sight and
pains in the abdomen. His skin IL
Thin, fiabby and lacking in firmnessi
and even in the case of children feels
like the skin of an aged person. The
complexion is pasty.
But to have the diseases incident to
dirt eating it is not necessary to eat
dirt Intentionally. Laborers in the
fields, who rarely wash their hands
nave been known to take enough dirt
INTO their stomach by handling their
God with their unwashed' hands to ac-
lujre all the ills which afflict those
WAC eat dirt because they like it.
