The RUMMAGE SALES.
Enterprise for Benefit of Hospital
Has q Good Start-Other Similar
Ventures,

The rummage sale, which is being
conducted in the Armory building. on
North Main street. under the patronage
of the ladies' auxiliary board of Emer-
gency hospital, was successfully opened
yesterday forenoon. The room was Wis
tied by scores of persons during the
day, who We're generous in their patron
age.
The sale comprises great collection
of articles ranging from llatpins to
stoves. Many of the articles are above
the class usually found ut rummage
sale. and may be purchased with de-
cided advantage: there's no question as
to the bargains they offer.
The worthiness, of the object need not
be dwelt upon, as the helpful factor
that Emergency hospital is in this COM
munity is quite patent. The proceeds
which may be realized from the sale
will go towards purchasing Il dressing
sterilizer. in order that the equipment
OF the hospital may be the more COM
plete, thereby increasing the efficiency
of the institution.
There was Il handicap yesterday.
which will no doubt be readily removed
when made known. Owing to the lack
of means of transportation, articles in
tended for the sale were not received
at the armory during the day. Now
that this need is made known. mer-

A saSnnn how

The unusual optical phenomenon OF
= rainbow produced by the sun shin
ing not on rain-drops but on particles
of sand suspended in the air by wind,
was witnessed over a part of the
Great Salt lake, recently, by Prof.
James L. Talmage, Of the University
of Utah. The colors were very brill
liant, and there was a secondary bow
visible The main bow was fully
double the width of an ordinary
rainbow. Only a segment of it was
seen. The sand was oolitic, cepsist-
ing of calcareous spherules Of fairly
uniform size, ranging between the
limits of No. and No. 10 shot, which
are polished and exhibit a pearly
luster. Prof. Talmage points out that
the production of the bow must be
due to reflection from the outer
surfaces of the spherules, and can
not be explained on the principle Of
refraetion and total reflection, gen.
orally applied to the explanation Of
the rainbow.-Youth's Companion.

SPEED OF OCEAN VESSELS.
During Recent Years Ii Has Been In-
creasing at "A Rapid
Rate.

The best Atlantic running of Ger
man mail steamer is now precisely IA
knots an hour swifter than the best
run of any British mail steamer, And
the best passage of the swiftest Brit
ish steamer was made more than six
years ago, in June, 1895, while the best
German steamer run was completed a
few days ago. Never before in the his
tory oSAtlantic steaming was the best
sailing made under any other flag.
The AMERICANS held the field from 1850
TO 1856, but their best boat was never
more than half knot swifter than the
bestof the Cunard line. Then from 1856
TO 1869 the Cunard liners were the swift
est, but their best was never more than
knot an hour swifter than the best
of the German steamers running dur
ing those days, says the London Chron-
icle.
From 1869 to 1879 the Inman and the
White Star lines held the first place as
regards speed, but the Germans were
still close behind them. Then from
1879 to 1884 the Guion line, which might
be called half American, held the first
place with vessels which were built in
Britain, but the Cunard was close upon
its best. Then the Cunard got its inn
ings till 1855, when the Inman again
came 10 the front with the swiftest
German about knot behind the best
Inman boat. Then the White Star got
a turn, and in 1898 the supremacy came
once again to the Cunard and finally
in 1897 the Germans triumphed, and
have held the post Of honor, as far 5
speed is concerned, ever since. But
never till now has the difference be-
tween the best German and the best
British been as much as a knot and
half an hour.

automobilism in Germany is indicated
by the fact that the minister Of war

He has also ordered a series Of auto

with tables. These breaks will be used
by the general staff and the officers

TorSon'S
Tobacco Pouch
BY H. 1. CLEVELAND.

T0RSON carried the mail between
Blue Duck, Hamar, the Mouse and
Cub Creek. The pay he received from
the government was comparatively
small, but the honors of his position
were many. BY custom he was al
lowed free feed for his horses at any
raneh-house. A plate was always put
on the table when he was seen APP
preaching. The best draught of mill
tary punch was always at his com
mand, and there was not a pretty girl
on the trail that would not go out of
her way to greet him. All this because
he carried the mail. Yet Torson cared
for neither horse feed, good food,
punch nor winsome smiles as he did for
his pipe and tobacco.
Torson never said much about his
pipe, but he loved ii, and the pipe re-
sponded TO all his moods with a con-
ISOLATION that was unfailing. There
were other mail carriers and there
were other pipes, all well known to
Blue Duck, but Torson and his pipe
were so conspicuously one that they
boldly stood out from all the rest,
Torson was industrious and prosper
Gus. He had an amiable wife and
thriving children, but even they were
never so conspicuous as the pipe.
Torson's tobacco pouch was made
from the inner and finer skin Of an.
antelope which had been well tanned
by an Indian woman and then worked
over with beads. Two long tassels
hung from it, and TO one Of these the
pipe was always attached when not in
use: that was when Torson was asleep.
The pouch carried four ounces of
clipped plug, or six ounces Of granu-
lated tobacco, which as smoking goes
Is lust twice the distance between Cub
Creek and Hamar.
The pipe was briar, with curved
stem of amber, the bowl carrying Just
enough tobacco so that gentle pulling
would not consume its contents in less
than 30 or 40 minutes. The wood OF
the bowl was from the white heath,
and in its manufacture had been so
well boiled and cooked that ii had
the richest kind of brown hue, to which
long smoking had added polished spots
ana rings of black. Consistent clean
inc had kept away from this bowl all
traces of sourness, and the smoke
never became offensive nor the Stem
heated. No sharp instrument was ever
mt into the bowl, but when it was
+ouched Il was softly swabbed.
II was Torsou's fashion never to
smoke on an empty stomach, but, as he
was never hungry, his pipe was never
ort Of his mouth while he was awake.
when he had long journeys to make he
a,,vavs carried a biscuit and dried
Inaat in his pocket and a bottle Of
so4,e mild drink, and by judicious use
"a tbese he found that his pipe was
always ready for fresh filling.

The ice man and the coal man are
often suspected Of giving short weights
maybe oftener suspected than guilty;
maybe oftener guilty than suspected.
The means Of testing the weight Of
from ten to thirty pounds Of ice are
not always a hand in the house but a
close estimate Of the weight can be
reached by multiplying together the
length. breadth and thickness of the
block in inches, and dividing the prod
uct by 30. This will give very closely
the weight in pounds. Thus if a block
is 1OxlOx9, the product is 900, and this
divided by 30 gives 80 pounds as the
correct weight. \ block 10x10x6 weighs
20 pounds. This simple method can be
easily applied, and it may serve to re-
move unjust suspicion, or to detect
short weights.-Detroit Free Press.
