THE Bulletin OF last week, in its
frantic efforts to defeat county division,
states that the proposed new county
would depend almost entirely upon its
mines for support, and intimates, in
fact states, that the mines are not per-
manent, and when they are exhausted
the county would be abandoned, etc.
1t likens the eastern section to poor old
Nevada. Possibly Mr.. Kelly is correct.
In several centuries it may be that the
mineral wealth Of this section will have
been exhausted. But why worry about

SHE SAT DOWN FOR. A COLD.
Bold Conduct of an Independent Maid
Of Honor to Queen -.
Victoria.
.CHAPTER3VI.

- The strictness of Queen Victoria in
all matters of etiquette and the ceres
monies observed in the royal presence
was well known to the members of the
COURT the slightest deviationfrom the
proprieties would Invariably bring q
frown and a reproof. So thoroughly
had she impressed the obligation Of
court etiquette on those by whom she
was surrounded that cases of offense
were extremely infrequent, says
Youths Companion.
Occasionally, however, a maid of
honor of unusual vivacity would break
over the barriers, and bring upon her
self the indignant rebuke of the SOW
ereign. It is related of one of these
young women that she was asked by
the queen to play the piano. Forget
ting that royal request is equivalent
to a command, the maid of honor
coolly declined, and when the queen
insisted that she should sing, she ex.
planned that she had cold. !. ..@>
In that case" said the queen, net.
tied by the young woman's obstinacy,
''syou had better 60: to bed 81
ooh, no, thank you," replied the
maid Of honor, airily, .'but il you don't
mind I will sit down,
+ And down she pumped, to the hor-
ror Of the queen and the ill-concealed
delight Of the courtiers in attendance.
B There. is no record Of the fact that
the young woman, who was in after
life q distinguished peeress, ever had
another bad cold or q tired feeling il
the presence Of royalty.

SAFETY FOR TELEPHONES.
Companies i'm Vermont Are Com
PEELED to Provide Suitable
Lightning Conductors.

An interesting and somewhat
unique case, involving the use of light.
ming arresters on telephone lines, has
recently been decided by the supreme
court of Vermont. A physician while
sitting in his library near telephone
instrument was instantly killed by an
electrical discharge from the wire
and the plaintiff commended that, in
not having provided suitable appara-
tus or appliance to conduct the light
ming to the earth. or at least out of
the house, the telephone company was
guilty of culpable negligence. In the
lower court Judgment was rendered in
favor of the heirs ofthe physician, and
the supreme court, to which the case
was appealed, affirmed the decision,
says the New York Sun.
It appearsthat the fatal bolt struck
one of the company's~ poles about a
quarter of mile from the doctors
house, that it scattered and went int
1.-The ground by various routes, and tina
only a small fraction of the original
charge could have entered the resi-
aence. However, in the absence OF
proof that lightning had struck else
where in that .neighborhood at the
time, it appeared to be established
conclusively that the discharge from
the telephones wire, small, as it was
caused the trouble, The province OF
the jury, therefore, was to determine
whether, if there existed devices fol-
diverting or controlling the forces OF
the lightning, the company was liable
for not having employed one of prac.
teal value in the house of the physi.
clan. ....
The evidence showed that on top OF
the house there was an arrangement
intended to insure, the desired protec.
ton, consisting of two metal plates
one of which was attached to the tele.
phone wire. The other plate, in order
to make the arrester operative by the
insertion of plug between the two
should have had a metallic connection
with the ground; but there was nc
such connection, and, consequently,
although the plug had been carefully
placed between the plates shortly
before the accident, the device was in
effective.

HOW AMERICANS GIVE.
Gifts to Educational Institutions In
This Country Are Larger Than
Those to Charities.

Rev. C. r. Ward, who has for many
years compiled statistics of the gifts
for educational and charitable pur-
poses which are made by the people
OF this country, was quoted recently
as saying that the gifts for educa-
tional purposes have been far larger
than those for charities, while the
gifts for charitable work have been
more numerous than those to educa-
tional projects. The great endow.
ments of universities by Carnegie,
Rockefeller, Leland Stanford and 9TH
ers are in the main responsible for
the large aggregate of the education

"When people leave their money to
charities" said Mr., Ward, "they usd-
ally leave them to such. charities as
they know something about, and give
smaller sums than if they felt III.

but never effect cure. Remedies for
