The American working Man.
Much comparison has been made be-
tween the endurance OF the Chinese
and the American working man. Those
with authority say that the average
working man Of America is as superior
to the Chinese as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is to any other dyspepsia cure.
The Bitters also cures constipation, in
digestion and prevents malaria.

In giant powder over year old
the glycerine in it is liable to crystal
lize after that time, and the presence
Of a crystal in stick Of powder
makes its handling dangerous. A
scratching of that crystal, a jar of
the stick, or rubbing of one stick
against another is likely to produce
an explosion. The best powder is
that about six months old. Before
that time the glycerine is liable to be
soft. There is also danger of getting
new powder too warm and melting
the glycerine. A drop falling an al
most imperceptible distance will at
once explode, and its concussion will
be enough to explode all. Giant
powder will sometimes burn without
exploding. but the starting of sim
gle drop of the glycerine it contains,
either by exciting the crystal when
it is too old, or the melted drop when
it is too new, is what does the mis-

The heavyweight list Of engineer

mining interests of Captain DeLamal

years. appears to be rapidly disinte-

nouncement that Duncan McVichie,
Superintendent of the Golden Gate
Mine, by whose knowledge of scien.

introduced with such signal success,
also wishes to be relieved.
But that is not the end, Frank P.
Swindler, general manager of the
captains DeLamar, Nevada, prop

BISHOP LEOHARD's STORY.

Bishop Abiel Leonard of the

following little story:
In the early days of Durango as q

Colorado went there, riding all the
way from Denver over the noun
tains and plains in stage coaches and
and on horseback. The Durango
clergyman laid great stress of this
self-sacri6ce at the meeting that fol-
lowed, and suggested that the con-
gregation show its appreciation by q
liberal contribution, the money to
be used TO help Christianize Colo

The man who came up to pass the
hat for the collection was an old
miner; the congregation was made
up Of miners. The first man to whom
the bat was presented dropped in a
silver quarter. The collector looked
at it. then very deliberately reached
back to his hip pocket and pulled
out his revolver. This he pointed
right at the mans eye, after cooking
it carefully.

said. This is no ordinary occasion;
