statement of the strike leaders, espe-
cially in the lower end of the coal field
that the wages of strikers will be re-
duced II they do not win the strike, is

went on strike Will be continued until

ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS.
What Constitutes Legitimate Expenditure on .
 Mining Claim.

An interesting question has recently
 been broached regarding what consti. tutes legitimate expenditure Tn doing the assessment work on prospect, says Ores and Metals. A prospector who lives in Denver has claim in the
 La Sal mountains upon which he re. gently completed his assessment work.
 He sunk ten-foot hole and was about to susperd operations when he learned that if he left bis claim without fur ther work it would be jumped, on the ground that it had taken him no more
 than a week, which at the current wages of the camp amounted to but S2l. As the claim was promising one. he submitted the matter to the lead ing miners of the district, before whom he exhibited the account of act ual expenditure, which included nearly s60 for railroad and stage fare. This was thrown out by the arbitrators, among whom was the man suspected of coveting the claim. the decision be- ing that the claim owner was supposed to reside in the district, but every oth- CT item of expense was allowed. These included three days work in building a rough cabin for shelter, $l0; lumber, Sl0; packing provisions and lumber eight miles, Sl5: provisions, $50; erec- tion of windlass, s; tools, bucket, rope, etc, $s; seven days work, s2l, total of $S5 50 The 6ual verdict was that upon doing five days work in the permanent improvement of the prop erty he would be justified in filing his certificate of the annual assessment done. This decision seems reasonable All the items mentioned may be just ly regarded as legitimate expenditures for the improvement of the property. There are a few mining districts in the state where man can sink a hole from ten to fifteen feet at cost to him of less than sl00 and all the ma. terial should be counted, as in the event of abandonment it rarely pays t0 haul this material any distance if the time is taken into account.

Department of Mining.

Mining organizations in the west are manifesting much interest in a bill in- troduced by Representative Wood of California, creating a department of mining under cabinet officer. Large gatherings of the mining interests, held at Cripple Creek, Colo, and Boise City, saho, have urged the adoption of the measure. The California Min ing association also is interested and the mine workers are expected to speak through their organization, the United Mine Workers. The members of the California delegation and those of otE- CT mining states are seconding the ef forts of Mir. Wood, who expects to have the house committee on mines and mining take up the question at an early day.

Noted French scientists Gives some
Reasons why They Are Needed
by Modern Women.

In an article on ''Women's Clothing
and Hygiene" contributed to the
Revue Scientifque by n. Frantz Glen
ard, the author controverts popular
ideas on the subject of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
81. The corset has its raison d'etre
from the esthetic point of view.
''2. Esthetics and hygiene may be
reconciled in women's clothing, even
in the corset.
SO. The corset may be of use in GER
tain maladies''
These statements, which he ac-
knowledges are somewhat audacious
on the part of a hygienist, he attempts
to justify in the course of his article.
AS to the first, he remarks that the
adoption of clothing by man is the re-
suit neither of modesty nor of a desire
to protect the body against the wealth
er; it is a result, he asserts, wholly of
a desire for adornment-thesam that

Mems costume has tended more and
more to straight lines, signifying ac-
ton; women's to curved lines, signify
ing, according to the author, that they
are "made to please ''Rigidity and
strength for man." he says, supple
ness and fascination for woman" The
corset, then, is an attempt to preserve
and accentuate the curved outline of
the waist.

what some people would call ricketts,"

could not sleep, he had a dull pain over
his left kidney, was continually rest

up through the night several times
and was also troubled in this way dur
ing the day.
He used few boxes of Dodd's Kid

completely restored to vigorous, good
health. He is very grateful to Dodd's

A HINT FROM PARIS.
washing Blue Is Said to Remove the
UnweIcOme Yellow Tint from
Locks Turning Gray.

Gray hair is an ordeal to the average
woman under the most favorable cir
cumstances and she proba bly, finds in it
little that is to be palliated. On the
other hand most women would prob
ably not mind it so much if they were
certain that all their hair would be-
come white Immediately and not re-
main for several years in the yellowish,
mixed stage that comes to all women
who have not black hair. It is the
problem of getting their hair white all
at once that troubles most women.
Some of the Paris hairdressers are
said to be able to make the hair quite
white when once it begins to turn. The
process is expensive under any circum.
stances.
A remedy has been found which has
been successful in the case of most OF
the women who have tried it. 1t is not
expensive, for the process consists in
giving the hair bath of washing blue.
The blue must not be too strong but
must be literally mixed with water. If
one bath does not have the effect of
taking all the yellow out of the hair,
the operation should be repeated.
In a day or two after the bath of
blue has been given the yellow will be-
gin to fade from the hair and in a
short time it will be quite white.-N. Y.

AMERICAN BOY AT OXFORD.
He Needs a Lively Imagination to
Reap the Full Benefit of the
Old College.

> Other influences than the merely
intellectual will be sure to affect the
student in his soiourn. He will walk
daily through historic halls, peopled
with shadowy forms continuously
stimulant to his imagination. He
will find cultivated nature in it's
most attractive guise. Most of the
colleges have gardens; some of them,
as those of Wadham, Worcester, New
college and st. Johns, exquisite in
beauty. He can watch the swans on
the water at Worcester, can dream
under the window of Charles I. at
st. Johns, or can, with the Spec
tator," stroll down the Addison's
walk at Magdalen.
Yet beautiful and historic as are
it's gardens and its architecture, and
much as they create the leisure and
calm of scholarships, if his ina gina
ton be not dormant, he may live in u
spiritual and not merely in a natural
Oxford, writes Francis Hovey Stod-
dard, in Review of Reviews. Many
centuries are about him, and many
minds have there ripened to varied
fruitage. In some sort he can help
his age if he brings back something
of corrective for its lack of balance,
of patience, of serenity. In this an
cient home of scholars he may, if he
be wise, find the mental attitude and
the moral quality which our time
most lacks and most needs. He will
have had an opportunity to compare
two civilizations, foremost in the
worlds work to-day. He will have
been a fortunate youth, and should
return, if not a profounder scholar,
at least a better citizen and a truer
American.

most universal vogue. In England the
temperance movement is almost if not
quite as strong as it is in America.
During the last few years the bar
maid has been the cause of numerous
skirmishes between the so-called
liquor element and British blue-rib-
bOners, yet she always has come out
of each individual attack with little
more popularity added to her occu-
patton, and as far removed from sup
preston as when the agitation began.
British innkeepers look upon the
lassie behind the bar as stock in
trade more productive, in fact, than
the liquors they sell, for it il admit
ted that without her much of the pa
trOnage of public houses would melt
away. The barmaid is, in fact,
great drawing card for the public
house. If she happens to be pretty,
possessed of an attractive face and be-
witching manners, she is a greater
drawing card than if nature had been
less liberal with her, but at any event,
she is more valuable from the inn
keepers point of view than bar boys
or men, and that is why each attempt
met with such vigorous and concerted
opposition.
Now, however, it is believed by both
factions that the grand climax of the
years of effort on the barmaid ques-
ton is near at hand. The agitation
recently begun in Glasgow is regard
ed as the opening skirmish of a
mighty struggle that has been prepar-
ing for the last two years between the
temperance folk and the liquor sell
ers of the United Kingdom. If the
movement succeeds in Scotland it is
considered altogether probable that
| it may cross the Tweed and envelop
England.
In selecting Glasgow as the place in
which to launch the crusade against
the barmaid. those composing the
ANTI faction did not act without dis
| playing wisdom and keen foresight.
The Scots are strongly religious peo-
| pie, and it is for this reason that the
blue-ribboners expect to create SUI
| ficient amount of we'll directed senti-
ment to place their cause on substan-
/ tial and effective basis. There are in
| Glasgow more than 200 barmaids. and

ing, and the issue may be carried tc
the highest court.
Great Britain is the only part of the
British empire where the barmaid is
an institution. There are hardly any
in Ireland, and none in Australia, New
Zealand, Canada or the Cape. In Eng
land there are about 10000 barmaids
while in London alone the number
reaches 1000.

Chicken paprika may be used as

Boil two chickens until they are
tender, and the bones can be re-
moved readily. Make a sauce of
half eupful of strained tomato juice,
one cupful of cream, two tablespoon
fuls of butter and two tablespoon
fuls of flour. Heat the tomato juice
and add the butter. When the latter
is melted stir in the -four and cook
for five minutes, stirring constantly
until smooth. If there are any
Jumps, strain the sauce. While hot
add the cream. and when hot again
season with paprika to taste; turn in
the chicken, and when heated
through serve. In place of the to-
matoes all cream may be used, and
just before removing from the fire
the yclks of two eggs may be beaten

trimmed and skewered together,

only a short time to cook-just
enough to brown properly. The CEN
ter may be filed with riced potato
or green peas.
In household where fruits appear
at every meal and in many guises, a
favorite way of preparing prunes,
dates, figs and raisins is soaking
them in cold water until all the lost
moisture has been restored. They are
then drained, rolled in graduated
sugar and placed in a single layer on
a board to dry. They are used in
place of bonbons. The stones are
removed from the dates and prunes
after the soaking, but before they
are sugared. The prunes need a
longer soaking than the other
fruits. The centers may be filed
with nuts or with fondant.
This is the season when the lover
of green peas not infrequently finds
his hopes turned to ashes because
the deliciously fresh green peas that
he has anticipated with delight have
been spoiled with soda. Too few
cooks, not to mention the house
wives, know that atnaturaI green
color may be preserved in green
vegetables by simply leaving off the
covers of the kettles in which they
are boiling. Soda should never be
used with green vegetables. The
green color that it gives is unnatural,
and so, repulsive, and the flavor OF
the vegetable is always destroyed by
it's use. If vegetable is so tough
that soda is needed to soften it, it
would be better not to use the vege.
table.
During the months of fresh fruits
the table linen should never be sent
to the laundress until it has been
carefully inspected for stains. The
method of removal before they are
set with soap and washing fluids
is simple. Stretch the cloth con
tanning the stain over a bowl
and, holding a tea kettle as high
as possible, slowly pour boiling
water through the spot. 1t will
quickly disappear. The sooner the
stain is removed the more easy will
be the process. If fruit stain is OF
long standing and does not yield tc
the hot water treatment it can be
taken out by soaking it in a solution
| of chloride of line.

Moral Enect nf Dior.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism. Beef, if perse-
vered in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious, saws
Pearson's Weekly. A mutton dietcon-
tinued for any length of time tends to
melancholia, while veal eaters gradu-
ally lose energy and gayety. The free
use of eggs and milk tend to make
women healthy and vivacious. Butter
used in excess. renders its users phieg-
matte and lazy. Apples are excellent
for brain workers, and everybody who
has much intellectual work to do
should eat them freely. Potatoes, on
the contrary, render one dull, invidious
and lazy, when eaten constantly and in
excess. To preserve the memory, even
to an advanced age, nothing is better
than mustard.
