driving them away. Some Of the Chi
nese prospectors are attracted to these
old mines, with the hope of finding hid
den treasure. In olden times, when
the only means of transportation was
by mule, miners buried their gold dust
and nuggets in their camps. Some of
them died suddenly, or were killed by
robbers, and the secret died with them.
Many large sums have been found in
these camps, and, strangely, this vain
hope leads many white prospectors to
explore these old abandoned camps.
The large deposits of mercury, or
quicksilver. in this state, and the re-
cent active development of these
mines, also add to the cheapness of re-
ducing gold and silver ores. The coast
range of California is very rich in
quicksilver mines, but they have not
been developed to any great extent I'M
til recently. 1t is as profitable as
gold mining, and the risks are less.
This valuable mineral is found In
small globes in porous rocks, but more
commonly in the ore known as red Gin
nabar. Hence, its discovery is much
easier for the prospector, yet this in
dustry, necessary to mining, has been
almost neglected. 1t was known to ex-
list before the discovery of gold-being
found in the mountain ridge near Sam
Jose. 1t was discovered by a Mex
lean, who named the mine New AL

produced millions of dollars worth of
quicksilver, of which the Mexican got
only few thousands of dollars. This is
the noted mine for the possession Of
which William McGarrahan contest
ed in the courts for quarter of a
century, and died penniless. American
prospectors also discovered quicksilver
mines along the coast range while look
ing for gold, and abandoned them.
though they were more valuable than
gold mines. Even when gold was dis
covered, little attention was given to
prospecting for quicksilver, or any 9TH
er mineral, though il was generally
known that immense beds of copper
existed in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, and that the San Bernardino
mountains on the south were rich in
tin. The prospectors for silver found
lead in these ores, also nickel. and In
the beds of streams the miners found
iron dust which had been washed down
from the mountains. But no attention
was given TO these minerais-fhe
miners were after gold and silver, aud

occurs in its virgin state, while sill
yer appears in various ores.
With silver are also found lead and
copper-the lead is used in its smelt-
ing. There is always found, also, a few
grains of gold with the silver, but so
few that they are not worth counting.
Biologists hold that the western
side, or gold-bearing part, Of the
Sierra Nevadas is of comparative re-
cent formation, and that the eastern,
or silver-bearing, side is of much older
formation. In proof Of this they cite
the fact that the eastern ridges where
silver is found consist of granite rocks
of harder formation than the states
of the western side where gold alone
exists.

REVILING THE FLAT.
Apartment Houses Properly Designed
Have Their Uses.

From the Chicago Tribune.
An architect rails vigorously against flats
He finds in them a cause of moral. social
and political degeneracy. In the large cities
one discovers much crime and corruption
There, too, one discovers flats. In the viii
lages one finds little crime and corruption
and no flats Therefore the nation which
contracts the fiat habit is doomed to swift
decay. Flats, says the architect under
mined the institutions of Rome and France
Paris which is said to rule France is noto-
riously for flats. Can Ii be that the devil
did not tempt Eve with apple, but that
1t was a steam-heated fat. with a gas
range anu nunt-in refrigerator for which
she gave up her garden home?
The fiat theory of human degeneracy is
simple, and therefore attractive, but does
not fit all cases. Philadelphia is a city of
separate homes. Flats have not met with
favor there. But if one seeks for political
degeneracy of the worst kind philadelphia
is the place 10 look for it. New York and
Chicago, in spite of their flats and their po-
litical vices, have not sunk so low as the
Quaker city.
The ideal city may be one where the rich
dwell in stately mansions. with ample
pleasure grounds, the tolerably well-to-do
in comforta able two or three-story red brick
houses, with back ana front yards, and the
workingTnen in vine-clad cottages with gar
dens, whence fresh vegetables can be had.
The IDEAL cannot be attained. The cottage
city has gone TO return no more. Every
block must provide house room for a larger
population than in the primitive days Peo-
pie of moderate means who find 1t neces-
Sary to live in the city or who prefer 10 do
so must be content without gardens except
such as there may be room for on window
sills. They can economize on rent and fuel
in a steam-heated fiat. AS taxes increase
the real estate owner must get more out of
his lot. The simplest way to do it is 10 put
up a building which will hold several fam
lilies instead of one.

Helpful Galactose.
From Scribner's Magazine.

From ScribnerS Magazine
A hitherto unknown element in milk,
new ferment, has been discovered at this
station, called galactose, which is proving
of value in the ripening of cheese. The
properties of this ferment are similar to
the secretion of the pancreatic organ in the
human body. Old cheese is a predigested
food, and the digestion is wrought by the
galactose 1t was found that the galactose
would go on working at very low tempera-
ture temperatures at which bacteria were
practically inert Cheese was put into refrig-
orators and kept frozen for months. Other
cheese was kept just above the freezing
point. 1t was found that the finest cheese
is cured at from 40 degrees to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. Practical cheese manufac-
turers had maintained that so degrees was
the lowest temperature at which cheese
could be worked without becoming bitter
and worthless. The new discovery will il
is believed, revolutionize cheese manufac-
ture, doing away with all curing rooms the
cheese being sent directly to the refrig-'
orator.

AS to the Asparagus.
From the Boston Transcript

ANA" '"e A'"S'oh Aiahscrlpt
In these days of more or less successful
attempts at artistic and elegant dining at
home 1t becomes a real ISSUE in many
families to settle the mahner of serving
asparagus. Many there ars who still stick
to the old plan of having it boiled, served
on toast and broughtit to table along with
the roast and perhaps one or two other
vegetables. A few of these it is possible
might be converted to better and more
tasteful things If they would look at the
vegetable from all its standpo:nts.
First. there is the important one that it
does not stay with US long, which seems
to argue that it deserves more dstin-
guished consideration than is accorded to
turn1pS and potatoes A second uuaiifica-
tion is that 1T is of distinct individuality
and when ranged alongside of roast of
beef or lamb, or sfrloin steak with bear
naise sauce, you get a contrasted harmony
whereas, as all thoughtful diners know, a
complimentary harmony is the dinner table
harmony par excellence. In company with
other asserttve viands asparagus cannot
therefore be at its best; neither is II pos
slb!e for the other edibles to be as delecta-
bie in Its presence assin it's absence. Clear
ly, then, asparagus is of the vegetables
which deserve to have one course all to
themselves.

A Scattered Sermon,


From the Philadelphia Times
When the Rev. Madison c. Peters at one
time popular Philadelphia divine, was
very young man he was invited to deliver
the sermon in a rural church on a Sunday
in June. The day was extremely warm.
and a window behind the pulpit had been
raised in the interests of ventilation. Mr..
Peters laid the rather voluminous manu-
script of the sermon he had prepared on the
desk of the pulpit and began; but the third
word had not passed his lips when a breeze
from the window caught the manuscript
and blew its hundred-odd pages of note
size paper scatteringly over the expectant
congregation. Mr.. Peters looked fustered
for moment; then, recovering himself
he smiled and said:
well, perhaps that sermon has reached
more of you than if it. had gone from the
pulpit in the usual manner"

uteS. Serve not.
Tomato and Spaghetti.-Break one-half
pound Italian spaghetti into inch pieces,
and boil from twenty-five to thirty minutes
in two quarts of boiling water to which
teaspoonful of salt has been added.
Melt one ounce of butter in a saucepan,
add one finely chopped onion and one-half
fine green pepper without the seeds. Cook
five minutes add one-half can of tomatoes,
teaspoonful each of salt and sugar, a
dash of pepper, and a quarter of cupful
of finely chopped mushrooms, if desired.
When the spaghetti is tender, drain in a
colander. Take quarter pound of Parme-
san cheese or crate the same amount of
American cheese, and put the spaghetti in
alternate layers in a dish with the tomatoes
and cheese. Place the dish in the oven for
a few minutes to brown and serve. If the
cheese is objected to, it may be omitted.
Macaroni may be prepared in the same
way.
The food value of the lentl, which until
a few years ago could only be found in our
large cities, is now becoming widely recog-
nized. While the taste of the lentil has to
be cultivated to some extent, its value to
the one who wants to get the worth of her
money makes it eXpedient to get accus-
toned to 1t as soon as possible. The Rev.
DR.. McNutt, in advising its use in a recent
address before the Association of Neigh
borhood Workers. said that his own family
enjoyed them cooked in either of the fol-
lowing ways:
Boil the lentilS three or four hours. A
quarter of an hour before removing them

lemon juice and some canned tomato
A good lentil sausage was made by mix

or baked.
Never place meat directly on the ice Al
ways put on plate or lay a heavy cloth
over the ice so that the meat does not come
in direct contact with it, to avoid extra citing
the juice. Fish. on the other hand are bet
ter laid directly on the ice, if natural. When
the ice is artificial a chemical action takes
place that is most injurious to the fish
Connoisseurs in cheese declare that Still
ton or any of the potted cheeses are vastly
improved by the addition of a little port
sherry or beer. AS the cheese is scooped
out, the wine, part of glassful at a time
is poured in. This gives the cheese richness
and tang" which many enjoy. 1t is an
old English custom much in vogue among
the gentry.
