off my hat to the lumber camp cook of

region of Michigan one fall. We lived
at a lumber camp boarding shanty.
"There were signs of beaver at the
upper end of the lake, and a trapper
succeeded in trapping one of the willy.
dam builders.
when the beaver was brought into
camp, the camp cook went nearly wild,
and so did the lumbermen when they
heard the news. all because they had
been trying to trap beaver for weeks.

were pinlng, they said, for beaver tail
soup.
1.-THE cook took that broad appendage
of the beaver. mailed like an armadillo.
took from it the underlying bone and
meat, and from it made such a soup as
never came from any other stock at the
beck of the most expert and scientific
chef that ever put kettle on.

DprlaOS better on the Eastern Shore
but we lack one thing. We haven't got
the beavers to yield us their tails."-

"SHE BURNS GREEN"
The Discovery of Borax In Death
Valley by Aaron winters.


The greatest discovery of borax in
the United States was made in the ter.
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aa"on Winters lived with his
wife, Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth of
Death valley. He was so fond Of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him. although
their little hut on the side of the noun
tain was o hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor. in 8 wild. rugged.
forsaken country.
One day a desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits Of Nevada. When he
went away, Winters thought that he
had seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search, having pre-
viously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
bined with bor1x and ignited would
produce a green flame.
Having procured piece of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax.
Winters snd his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would it
burn?
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert. entirely without luXuries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties of life. Would the match change
ell that?
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with trembling hand then
shouted at the top Of his voice: "She
burns green. Rosie! We're rich! We're
richv
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.

that the foolish and wicked practice Of
profane cursing and swearing, vice
hitherto little known in an American

hopes the officers will. by example as
well as influence. endeavor to check it,
and that both they and the men will
reflect that we can have little hope Of
the blessing of heaven on our arms II
we insult it by our impiety and folly.
Added to this. it is a vice SO mean and
low. without any temptation, that ev.

Tho Tartars ana Their Horses.

The Tartars have q way Of living
with their animals which is truly as
tcnishing. They talk to them, and
when they wish to encourage them
they whistle to them as If they were
birds. If they do not travel well. they
address to them tender reproaches, and
when special effort is needed on their
part they say to them, "Come. my
doves, you know you must 60 up
there; courage, my pets; come, go on"
And when the difficulty is accomplish
ed they get down from their box and
praise and caress them, allowing them
to rest and breathe. patting them be-
tween the eyes. rubbing their noses,
stroking the hair on their foreheads
between their ears; indeed caressing
them in every way and treating them
like much loved pets.-Un Touriste au
