The Women Of Langum.

Woman supreme-without the ballot.
And this feather which London An
swers sticks in the cap Of woman is no
less brilliant because she is allowed to
wear it only in the town Of Langum.
In that little Welsh village man
neither is nor pretends to be. In other
villages be sometimes pretends to be.
but in this sequestered nook on the
Pembrokeshire coast he is simply An.
ME Williams man or Mary Jones
man and recognizes himself as such.
In Langum woman is the dominating
force in the market; she is the house
hold financier, the family accountant,
and in fact fills all the positions which
in any other community, civilized or
barbaric. are established by precedent
given to man. Whether he Of LangUm
has resigned or been Invested Of all re-
sponsibilities Of life is no part Of this
story.
There is another important fact in
Langum life-oysters. The place is IA.
nous for them. But Langum oysters
are in no sense rivals Of Langum wo,

precludes that.

A. VAST SALT FIELD.
How the Product IL Obtained In tho
Middle ofthe Colorado Desert.

In the middle Of the Colorado desert,
little to the north or the Mexican
border and 2G4 feet below the level OF
the sea. lies a field of crystalliZed salt
more Than a thousand acres in extent,
presenting Il surface as white as snow
and beneath the monday glare OF the
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand its radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo. an ocean Of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work Cverturning the great de-
post with massive plows and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
10 putting it through the refining proc
ess. The salt plows used to secure the
harvest are great four wheeled nipple
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges; then laborers
with hoes work it 10 and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt prelim-
mary to stacking it in mounds to be
taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the plow has hardly
passed oh before q new crust has
formed in the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than O small portion of the vast de-
post.
AS may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the 9ost try
ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heart, and for this
reason the work is done wholly by
japanese and by Coahuila Indians. OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work, the Japanese per-
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped. The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti-
cles of salt, gives rise to painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from single well. 1t is
warm and i'll tasting.
Beautlful mlraSeS frequently appear
above the great salt field in the day
time, sky pictures Of magnificent cities
and flower dotted, tree shaded fields.
The moonlight, too, produces won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt. For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermome-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grees, and the reflection Of the sun
produces a glare like that from q fur
mace. The deposits vary in thickness
from ten to twenty inches and form
solid crust over the great marsh. 1t
Is estimated that about 700 tons are
now plowed up daily.-New York Trib-
une.

But they have been Caught IN the act.

they have been filling their columns

They have been pilfering from the

public scorn and contumely.
And this was done when the Daily

of late, however, probably owing to
the recent addition of a journalistic trav

SLAV SHOOTS

MEX SwENEKAFEw PROBABLY
FATALLY SHOT BY JOHN PEcI-
TELLo NEAR COLUMBIA
MINE THURSDAY.
MEN BECAME INVOLVED IN QUAR-.
REL OVER POSSESSION OF PET
DOG AND ONE SHOOTS THE
OTHER.
Wounded Man is in a Precarious condi.
tion and is Not Expected to Live.
Pecitello Has Fled the Country,
But Officers are After Him.

Aiejk Swenekafew, q Slav, living in
the neighborhood 70 the Columbia coal
mine, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded by John Pccitello, during n
quarrel near the mining camp Thurs
day morning. SwenelSafew was shot
in the right breast and in the right
thisht and is now at his home In pre-
earious condition. His death is expected
at any moment.
The two men we're companions, It
appears. They became involved in a
quarrel over the possession of pet dog,
while walking towards the mining camp,
and in heat of rage Pecitelro drew a
3e-calibre revolver from his pocket and
shot Swenelsafew twice. One built en-
tered the right breast, making an ugly
wound, and the other pierced the upper
part Of the right leg. The wound IN
the breast is serious one and win prob
ably prove fatal.
Pccitello made his escape after the
shooting and has not been seen around
the mining camp since. So far, no legal
action has been taken, but the ofiieers
are On tue outtoON loE tue man WIZ
did the shooting, and he win probably
be unprecedented in abort time.
Swenelafew Is single man and had
been working As laborer near the Co
lumbia mines for some time.
The ciarisburg Daily News thus pub
lieiy admits, and through It's own col.

This pilfering Of news from the col
