TelItale EnveInnes.

An envelope has been designed that
mail thieves cannot tamper with un.
detected. There are two ways In which
ordinary envelopes may be opened-one
by forcing the flap open with a thin
metal blade, and the other by steam
ing the envelope until the mucilage no
longer holds the flap. In either case
it is difficult for even the person to
whom the letter is addressed to ascer-
tain whether the envelope has been
opened unless something has been ex-
tracted. The improved envelope diff
fers from the ordinary kind only In
having a sheet of tissue paper attached
to the flap and extending down inside
the pocket. This sheet attaches itself
to the surface of the envelope with the
sealing Of the letter, and 1t is obvious
that any attempt to force the flap
would tear the tissue, In spite Of the
utmost caution, the torn tissue being
plainly seen when the envelope was
opened in the proper way. To detect
any subsection to the steaming process
the tissue is secured to the flap by a
colored mucilage, which liquifies in
stantly when brought into the pres
ence Of the hot steam, daubing the in
ner and outer surface OF the letter until
IT plainly indicates the use Of improper
methods 10 ascertain the contents.

Hound as Guiding Star.

A number of years ago, says con-
tributor to the Los Angeles Times,
three prospectors were working some
mining claims south of Prescott, Ariz.
When they left town they had ex-
pected to return In two days, but, find
ing more to do than they had antlci-
pated, worked a third day without grub
in order to finish up. They worked as
long as they could see, thinking they
should have no trouble In following the
trail after dark. The night, however,
was unusually dark and they could not
see the trail. Being fatigued and hun
cry, they were losing much valuable
time roofing about to no purpose. They
had a black-and-tan hound with them
and the idea occurred to one of the
boys to rub the phosphorus from a
bunch of matches on the dogs tail. 1t
was done accordingly, thus making a
sort Of pillar Of fire by night. The
scheme worked beautifully. The dog
found no difficulty In following the
trail; the men followed the phosphor-
lied narrative Of their canine guide and
reached Prescott in time for an early
breakfast.

Asked to Fit Glasses.

Asked to Fit Glasses.
Reference has been made more than
once, says the Youths Companion, to
the headaches resulting from eye-strain
either overwork with practically nor
NAL eyes, or any work with imperfect
eyes; but SO much suffering results
from the neglect or ignorance of this
fact that no apology is needed for fire.
quent return to the subject.
The causes of headache are legion
bad stomach, nasal disease, "urlc-acid
dlathesis," and other things; but it Is
not an exaggeration to say that eye
strain is more frequently the fault than
all the other causes combined, yet 1t Is
perhaps the most frequently overlook
ed not only by the sufferers themselves,
but also by their medical advisers.
Many and many person who had been
martyr for years to periodical sick
headaches, had consulted physician af-
ter physician, and had dieted, taken
headache cures" and done everything
but the right thing, has finally had his
eyes tested and fitted with proper
glasses and then found the headaches
disappear as If by a miracle.
Usually these sufferers are people
who use their eyes good deal-they
are students, seamstresses, watchmak-
ers, bookkeepers, literary workers, or
merely great readers or women given to
fine embroidery or lace work.
The eye-strain headache Is of no spe-
cial type, and perhaps this is why 1t Is
so often unrecognized. 1t may be only
an occasional dull pain in the forehead
or temples, 1t may be a general sore
ness, or 1t may be a throbblng, racking
headache which the slightest noise or
bright light makes unbearable. 1t
may be constant, 1t may be irregular,
or 1t may recur with the regularity Of
malarial attack. Sometimes the pain
is worse at night; sometimes the pa
tient wakes with headache, which dis
appears after a cup of coffee. The only
characteristic of eye-strain headache Is
that it Is persistent, and does not YIELD
at least permanently, to any course of
dieting, medication, or hygienic living
The only effective treatment is removal
of the strain by correction of any I'M
perfection in the eyes, and by reform
of bad eye habits, such as reading very
fine print or reading in a poor light or
on a railroad train.
But word of caution is most necess-
sary here. The glasses must be fitted
by skilled ocullst after careful ex-
animation of the eyes, for badly fitted
glasses will only make matters worse,
and by leading the patient to think that
the eyes are not in fault, cut off all hope
Of a cure by a competent oculist.

Few persons have any idea Of the
large number of oil springs in Wyo-
ming or the vast area over which they
are found. There are hundreds of them
scattered over the State, although they
are most common In Uintah County,
where the most notable Is the famous
Carter oil spring, located about ten
miles east of Evanston.
This spring was discovered in 1866 by
Judge Carter, from which it derives its
name.
Judge Carter was a post trader at old
Fort Bridger, who, upon making the
discovery, reported it to General Con-
nor, commander of the Federal garri-
son at Fort Douglas, Utah, who sent
John G. Ficre, an experienced well dig
ger, to Fort Bridger who dug a fifty
foot we'll, from which was obtained in
the neighborhood of 100 barrels of pc
troleum, which was sold to the Union
Pacific Railway and the Black Buttes
Coal Company for $25 per barrel, it
being used as a lubricant In the crude
state as taken from the well. How
ever, 1t had to be carted some distance
by team and was not found to be pay
ing proposition. The old pole derrick
and log house used by the operators
remained for years and is shown in the
Illustration, together with the modern
rig, which was placed there by Judge
Carriers heirs shortly after his demise.
They sank a new shaft about 100 feet,
at which point oil sand was encoun-
tered which produced an excellent
grade of oil, which was sold exclusive
ly to the Union Pacific Railway.
This well was in operation several
years, but was finally closed down on
account of the railway company pur-
chasing a refined lubricant at a lower
price from eastern concerns. The Car
ter company, not knowing the real val
ne Of their oil. made no further at
tempt to dispose of It. The derrieks
were removed and the buildings nnally
destroyed by fire and the well, being
uncased, caved in, and to-day there is
nothing to mark the spot but steady
ooZing of oil from a slight depression
In the ground.

varying depths. The Wyoming OH

DlNED IN THE KITCHEN


"When General Grant stopped at the
Palmer House in Chicago on his re-
turn from his tour of the world" said
a man who was there at the time, "the
steward was all but stuplfied one noon
at seeing the ex-president slide in at
the kitchen door as though escaping
from some one.
I'm sorry to trouble you,' he said,
as though asking a great favor, but

where the cook had been fixing the
meat was cleared, and Grant drew up
stool and set to, and the way he
got away with that corned beef and
cabbage was a caution. When he had
finished, he laid down his knife and
fork with funny sigh Of satisfaction,
put one hand on the stewards shoulder
and said:
"'Young man, l don't suppose you
care for that at all, but if you had had
to eat what have for the past few
months 1t would taste like dinner for
the gods. IT tastes hOmeV"
"The ex-presldent had dined with
everybody from the queen down, but
that cabbage and corhed beef doubt

he was not so well known, but proba-

carted into town to sell. l."-Ex.
