WORK NEARLY OVER.

The work of the United States court
in the city is nearly over and Marshal
Haggart is paying off the witnesses
and jurors as they are preparing to
leave the city as soon as the blockade
is raised. The Murphy case is the last
one to be disposed of by the court, all
the other cases having been disposed
of. A number of indictments have
been returned, but the offenses are
triable in the other districts of the
state The term of court in the city
has lasted for more than two weeks
and during that time there have been
several hundred strangers in the city.
The members of the petit jury aside
from those who are ON the Murphy
case will probably be excused today.
The majority of the Indians who wer,
witnesses before the grand jury have
gone home, and only few of the wit
nesses in the Murphy case remain tic
await the completion of that trial.

BIG LOSS Of SHEEP
Report from the Western Part Of the
State of the Loss Of Band Of
5000 Sheep.
Were Unioaded from the Cars to Craze
and Caught in the Storm Herder
Dead Also.

A report from the western part of
the state received in the city this
morning stated that a band of 5000
sheep that were unloaded from train
to Craze between Sentinel Butte and
Wibar1. Mont, were caught in the
heavy storm of Saturday and Sunday
and persisted. 1t is stated that the
herder who was with the sheep perish
ed also. The reports state that many
cf the sheep could be seen from the
trains passing through after the storm,
lying dead on the prairie. This is the
heaviest single loss yet reported. 1t
is expected that other losses of sheep
will be reported, as any band that
was caught in the storm without shell
ter could not have survived. There
have not been many reports of cattle
losses, yet, but it is feared some severe
losses will be reported.
Several reports have been received
of home-seekers starting for outlying
points on the prairie shortly before
the storm, and fears are entertained for
their safety.

HARD TO GET STARTED.
Things Which Overcome Writer
When BEGINNING an Article

Things Which Overcome a Writer
When Beginning an Article.
There is a feeling of timidity that
beginning an article. AS in writing a
letter, it is getting started that puzzles.
1t is the custom to begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow of words is
free, and then the difficulty with some
of us is to find the brake valve. Again,
a writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is more fitting ending, and
vice versa. The newspaper style is to
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines, while the sermon
iZer reserves them until his final eli
max.
Thackeray remarked once that he
could never tell exactly what he was
going to say until his pen was in hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what he was saying until it
was written There is a subconscious-
ness that shapes writing as it does
speaking. This, know, disturbs some
well known theories of speaking and
writing-as to weighing everything and
then measuring it out as druggist
compounds prescription-but my OBJ
servations are that the preparation is
more in getting full of subject and
then letting the mind work free under
the impulse of the dominating idea.
There are as many ways and meth
DDS in writing and speaking as there
are individuals, and yet the fundamen-
tai law in the transmission of thought
and speech runs largely in the same
groove, whether it be the jargon Of the
Hottentot or the polished periods Of
the scholar. Human nature has its
own primitive impulses that defy all
rules of rhetoric and the power of ex-
pression--that is. the power, mind yon
lis deeper seated than any artificial
formula Of stylists. - National Maya

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPlN.
Formerly Despised. They Are Now
Cansidered Il DelfcSrT.

Formerly Despised. They Arc Now
Considered a DeIicacy.
Half century or SO ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the ra1est deli
cacy known to the cpicurian world,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 q barrel, ana
laborers, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice a week. To-
day barrel is cheap at $780, and mil
lionaires travel hundreds of miles for
a chance to feast on this most deli
cious of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
tions.
Every first class restaurant in the
country features 'terrapin la Mary
land" on it's menu, but in not one case
out of hundred is the real terrapin
served. The diner regales himself ON
choicest dish. Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles. 'sliders'' or
North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restanrateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex.
ceed $4,000 of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy monopoly, These three
cities get practically the entire output,
| but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or St
Louis must either come east or forego
the joys of terrapin.
To select a real diamond back anna.
teurs should be guided by these distin.
gushing and characteristic markings:

sometimes running to spotted gray
yellow on the plate which surrounds

CURIOSlTlES OF MICA.
Its Appearance Before 1t Is Split
4. ,a. Into Sheets.

Its Appearance Before 1t Is Split
@.. Into Sheets.
The mica as it comes from the mines
is in blocks which are theoretically
short rhombic prisms, but practically
are scarcely recognizable as such, hav-
ing very rough and uneven contour.
They have a very perfect cleavage
parallel to the base and may be split
into lamine thinner than the thinnest
tissue paper, and these lamina form
the familiar transparent stove panes
and lamp chimneys. The exterior por-
tions of these blocks are opaque, brittle
and worthless, presumably from the
penetration of water, for mica soon
decomposes when exposed to any con-
siderable weatheEing. A thick layer
of plates has therefore to be removed
from either face of the blocks before
any mica of commercial size or value
is reached, and the sheets split from
the remainder are surrounded by a
wide margin of worthless material.
But the difficulties and losses OF
mica mining are far from being all
enumerated. Even when occurring in
blocks of commercial size it is rem
dered .valueless, or comparatively so,
by one or more of series of defects,
which may be classed as color specks,
ruling, ribbing and wedge formation.
It sometimes occurs literally pied with
black dots, consisting in general of
black oxide of iron Or garnet, and
when even a few of these are present
its commercial value is DESTROYED, be-
cause such mica when used as an insu-
lator is peculiarly liable to puncrure,
the specks forming practically short
circuits for the electric current. The
same is true of streaks, which are
sometimes turned to red rust.
Some otherwise excellent mica is
found to be ruled OF cut, as it We're,
with a series of perfectly straight
lines. parallel to one side of the crys-
tai, so that on being split the mica
falls Immediately into strips; or, again,
instead Of being striped or ruled, the
mica is often deeply ribbed or CORFU
gated parallel to the adjacent edges of
ance of the letter A, or, rather, V,
whence it is termed "a mica" AS the
ribbed portion has to be cut away in
tho sheet, such mica is improbable
unless the blocks be large. Wedge
mica is that in which the block is
thicker at one end than the other, the
lamina partaking in the unevenness.
Such blocks are wholly worthless ex-
cept as scrap.-Engineering Magazine.
