heated in the fire you pick up a Cloth to
hold the outer end, although it has not
been in the fire, because experience has
taught you that the heat is connected
through the metal from the fire to the
outer end This experiment with the fam
ing coal is based upon the principle and
the additional one that linen or cotton
are poor conductors of heat. Take a globe
of copper and draw a piece of Goth tight
ly over it, so that there is not a wrinkle
at the top. If the linen or cotton is closely
woven the trick is all the more certain.
Then holding the clothing tightly in place
you can safely put a glowing coal on top
of the cloth. and while 1t burns fiercely
the cloth will not even be scorched The
reason is that the great conductivity of
the copper draws the heat of the coal
before 1t can burn the cloth. Do not try
this experiment with a good handkerchief
first, for IL the cloth is not tightly drawn
ii may burn; but take some worthless
piece of linen or muslin, and after you
are certain of your experience you can
astonish your friends who do not know
the secret.

cans momentary hesitation together, he
at once suspected that both he and the
girl had a strong idea as to who was at
the bottom of this attempt. The sub
ject was not further alluded to, the con-
versation turning upon the United States
concerning which the Mexican asked Har-
land many questions. 1T is a pity so
great a distance divides us from them"
he said. 1T is more effectual than any
ocean. and yet perhaps If we were nearer
neighbors your people would disturb our
forever pushing forward, while we abhor
changes, and live as our fathers did 300
years ago. You see. the mountains act as
n barrier to us, and we have never even
tried to extend the territory we occupy
beyond the strip of land between the coast
and the mountains, and, indeed, that is
ample for us Our population has de-
creased rather than increased, since Mex

Does your father often come down here

He generally comes down once a year
to arrange for the disposal of the increase
of his cattle, that is to say of the talow
and hides, as to the meat it is practically
of no value OF course the bullocks are
killed on the estate, the daily consump-
ton is large for he has upwards of fifty
poems and vaqueros, but of course this
is a comparatively small item, for he gen
orally kills from 1900 to 5000 animals

about 200 miles"
Il should have thought it would have
been better to have them here"
mo, there is range of hills about
half way between his place and the coast,
across which 1t would be difficult to get
them. Another thing is that there Is
scarce any food by the way, rain seldom
falls here, and although the land is very
rich when irrigated, it affords but a
scanty growth in its wild state, and a
herd of $1,000 bullocks could scarcely ex~
list on the road, and even If they got here,
would have lost so much fat that they
would scarce pay for boiling down."
They sat smoking in the veranda until
nearly midnight, and Don Guzman then

All goats, however, will not eat the

GOAT AS DAIRY ANIMAL.
Easily Kept and Gives More Nutri-
triOus MILK Than the Cow.

FROM the EDitomlSt.
The usefulness of the goat in clearing
foul lands and the profitableHess of the
animal for its hair, skin and even carcass,
is becoming pretty well understood. But
the goat is valuable as a dairy animal. If
the cows, for instance, are being used
for supplying a city milk trade. the keep
ing of goats for the home milk supply
would be an excellent policy. The goat
will live where a COW would starve; and
while it, like every domestic animal, will
do best on good pasture, 1t viii live and
yield milk on astonishingly little food.
The animal and its milk are almost en-
tirely exempt from disease; the milk IS
more nutritious than that of the cow and
agrees with stomachs that cows milk
frequently offends. The animal requires
only the cheapest kind of shelter; but st
needs shelter from the storms and in win

Il was evident that a conflict was going

as he approached he made out four fig

and were evidently attacking some one
standing there. The inequality Of the
combat was sufficient to appeal to the

A Live Coal Trick.

No one would suppose that IL is pos
sible to hold a glowing coal on a piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an import
ant natural law. Every child knows that
the telephone and telegraph wires are
made of copper because that metal con-
ducts sound well. 1t is also a good con-
Guctor of heat and electricity which IS

Poor Rutland. How are the mighty
fallen. The census is worse than any
affection that has befallen the Marble
City in many moons. Her population
Ia 1890 was l1,760 and in 1900 only
11,449. A comparison Of the census
figule' Of the Marble City with those
Of the Granite City very accurately
.uages the difference in the demand
for marble and granite today. The
former is suitable only for cheap
work, while the latter is acknowledged
to be the only material to use If you
would build for time and eternity.
