The ProspectOr.

The world owes debt of graft
tude to the prospector. He is a man
of muscle and determination mixed
with plenty Of courage His princi-
pal need is hard cash, and that is
why he is willing to sell out his claim
ofttimes at a nominal figure. Some
times he holds on with grim determi-
nation, borrows money from his
friends, develops his property, and
makes large fortune. More often
he sells out in time to see the other
fellow get rich. This explains why
so many prospective mines are for
sale, says Mines aud Investments.
If the the discoverer had the money
he would spend his last cent before
he would give up his chances. But
he lacks the money. Therefore he
is compelled to sell. Men unac-
quainteo with the facts wonld prob
ably conclude that he would not sell,
if his claim were worth anything,
but this is a mistake. 1t takes

Shafts must b e sunk. drifts run,

Eight-Hour Law or Not Law?

The Virginia Chronicle reports that
j. W. Phillips, manager of the Jack
son cyanide plant in Gold Canyon,
has been arrested on a charge of
violating the eight-hour law. His
hearing is set for the 4th of June.
This means that the constitutionality
of the eight-hour law. passed by the
late leglature, will be given the fire
test. The law was the work of both
political parties and no fight was
made against it during the hours of
the legislature. By arresting Pro
fessor Phillips, the law will be given
a chance to see if any loops were left
in it. The action in this case will be
watched with the keenest interest
by unions in this state and "a good
many investors on the outside will
also keep their eyes on the result.

A Test OF Refinement.

The truest test Of refinement is a
uniform regard for the welfare and
interests and feelings Of others. There
is 4 refinement which is by education,
but In each case the sure indications
of refinement are the same. You can
recognize the difference between those
who have and those who lack refine
ment by their bearing in a crowd. In
deed this difference is easier perceived
in q street car or in market or in a
thronged highway than in a drawing
room. A person Of true refinement
takes up the less room and claims the
less concession and IS reader to yield
position than an unrefned person. The
way in which man carries a cane or
umbrella in a crowd settles the ques-
ton in his case. And again the keeping
of ones market basket in the way, or
out of it, as at the busiest market hour,
is an infallible test Of the bearers ILL

matters. Philadelphia Ledger. .2y---sc,

POULTRY POINTERS.

Stale bread soaked in milk and
squeezed dry is a good feed for young
ducks.
Only medium sized eggs should be
set. Extra large or small ones are apt
to produce deformed chicks.
Turkeys are not so sure to come
home as other fowls: hence it is good
plan to mark them in some way.
Feed the young chicks often if you
would have them growing rapidly, but
do not feed more at a time than they
will eat up clean in few minutes.
Destroy the old nests as soon as the
hens come off with the chicks. The
safest and best plan is to burn all Of
the old material.
Healthy fowls pick up their food
quickly and relish it. When they so at
it lazily, pick up a grain or two and
then stop something is wrong.
Never shut the fowls up in such close
quarters that they cannot take enough
exercise to promote digestion. Hens
treated in this way will soon become
too fat to lay.

TRAINING A LION.
Daring Performance That Had
Very Simpke Exploration.

A Daring Performance That Had a
Very Simple ExpIanatton.
Not long ago lioal tanner who was
exhibiting in a German circus in Hol-
land attracted immense crowds at ev-
cry performance by doing what seemed
= to be the most daring Of acts in the
lions cage. He would climb into the
cage with great pieces of meat and
throw it to the roaring beasts. The
moment they had lcaped upon it he
would spring among them ard put his
foot on it. The animals would growl
furiously, and then. just as the specta-
tors We're all waiting breathleSsly. eN-
pecting that the beasts would tear him
to pieces, they would shrink back,
cowed. After be had repeated this eX-
citing act for many days an English
man made a wager with him for q big
sum Of money that he would not dare
to do it after the lions had been starved
for three days. The trainer considered
for moment and then accepted the
wager. making only the condition that
preparation.
At the end of three weeks the trainer
announced that he was ready. and the
process of starving the lions began.
The Englishman kept guards posted
around the cage day and night to make
certain that not u morsel of food should
be given to the animals. At the eXpira-
ton Of the three days all Amsterdam
rushed to the circus. The lions We're
maddened with hunger. as any one
continually. ard their attempts to
break through the bars showed how
angry they bad become. In the height
of the uproar the trainer entered the
cage with an immense piece of beef in
his arms. He tossed it on the floor Of
the cage raised his whip and. 10, not
one lion dared to approach it. The
mighty brutes lay crouchcd. roaring
and growing so hard that their great
frames shook. and each kept his ter
rife yellow eyes fixed hunSrily on the
meat. But not one of them stirred.
TIE trainer stopped: lifted the beef
and tossed it to them again, and in 4
moment the lions were in a great
tawny ball, rend!ng and snarling and
tearing, with blood from the mangled
beef squirting all over the cage. The
Englishman paid his bet and then tried
to find out how the lion tanner had ac-
0uired such wonderful control over his
beasts. At first the man would not
tell. but at last he consented to eX-
plain it. During the three weeks pc
riod Of preparation lie had always
starved the lions from the very begin
ming. Then. On the fourth day, he
would enter the cage with piece Of
beef which had been soaked in kero-

The Stens OF the Prickly Penr.

In most plants. to put it simply, the
haves are the mouths and stomachs OF
the organism: their thin und fatteped
blades are spread out horizontally IN
a wide expanse, covered with tiny
throats and lips which suck in carbonie
acid from the surrounding air and dis
integrate it in their own cells under
the influence of sunlight. In the prick
" pears, on the contrary. it IS the fiat
tened stem and branches which under
take this essential operation in the life
of the plant-the sucking in Of carbon
and giving o4lt of oxygen, which are to
the vegetable exactly what the eating
and digesting Of food are to the animal
organism. In their old age, however
the stems of the prickly pear display
their true character by becoming
woody in texture and losing their ar
ticulated, leaflike appearance.
