An interesting story comes from Boston in regard to Greene Consoli- dated, which has been faring badly on the New York market. which it is said has sold d, low us sl0 -. It is as serted that the Greene company, while making a large outputof copper,
 is not making a rroport onate profit. Among other things it iS said that John A. Parish of Denver. the mining expert. ha, recently made an exhaust i've report d. to the condition and pros poets of the property. and that this report was understood To br unsatis- factory. It WAS also said that the Lewjsohn holding, of the stock about l5 GOO >hares-which were pur- chased around $25 per share, were all
 sold at from so down tu Sl7. As the Lewisohus, through the United Metal Selling company, sell the Greene com pany's output, it was argued that their selling of the stock was significant.
 It is further reported in this connec-
 tion-and officials do not deny it. budt Vhc NohIpaHS Has al HVoN'"S uSO' of oyer Sl,000, ,00J, but that with cop per selling above l2 cents, the com pany can make a clear profit Of over I cents a pound. Altogether, the situa- ton in connection with Greene Con- solidated affairs is not at the present
 time looking at all encouraging, and holders ut the stock have recently been selling the same very freely.

How she acquired It 1t does not really

Certain amiable friends told her It

Snakes.

There exists among many persons a
belief that snakes are creatures of
more or less defective organization.
Deprived of legs and reduced to effect
their movements by sinuous windings
of their elongated bodies and tails, they
have an appearance Of helplessness
which may by itself excite compassion.
Yet no mistake Of the kind could well
be greater. The principles Of evolu-
ton suffice to make 1t evident that the
structure Of serpents must be tolerably
good or else they could never have sur
vived natures many destructive
agencies. But, In fact, their structure
Is q marvel of admirable contrivances
and accurate adjustments, so that we
must affirm them to be as perfectly
adapted to their requirements and pc
culiar modes Of life as any other ami
mals.-Quarterly Review.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Large roosters with small hens is
very poor combination.
Scalded milk and cooked rice will
often stop diarrhea in fowls.
Indigestion, one of the worst diseases
among poultry, is often caused by sour.
moldy food.
Eggs intended to be hatched in an In
cubator should never be allowed to be-
come chilled.
In order to have poultry tender and
juicy they must be fattened quickly.
Two weeks of good feeding are usually
sufficient
Use plenty of lime in the poultry

Removing Tumors EARLY.

If 1t were generally known among In
telligent people that great numbers of
innocent tumOrs sooner or later be-
come malignant and that malignant tu-
mors often simulate benign tumors and
remain quiescent for great while, the
sufferers would unhesitatingly consent
to the removal OF these morbid growths
in their inception, long before the pos
sible advent of serious mischief, or
when the cure might be effected by mi
nor operations which would leave the
smallest scars, especially in such parts
as the face, neck, arms or hands.

FIRST VIEW OF WHITE MEN

The nifis and Burning Glass Fright

1t Is small wonder that the first view
of white man created terror among
the superstitious Indians. A striking
instance of this occurred when tho
Wallawalla Indians first saw Captain
Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
t!o', Thinking to propitiate the saw
ages and allay their fears of the white
men, he planned to visit village of
the Wallawallas before the arrival of
the rest of his party.
With this end In view, he set out to

taking three men with him. On the
way he shot a crane and duck. both
of which fell near him. He landed be-
fore five wigwams placed close to each
other, but not person was visible,
and the doors, which were of mat,
were closed. Holding his pipe In hand,
as an indication of good will, he push

again prevailed, and what might have
occurred but for the timely arrival OF
two chiefs who knew the white men
cannot be told.
1t seems that the Indians had not
seen Captain Clark, but they had seen
the white crane which he had shot
fall just before his appearance. They
had also seen the duck fall at his shot.
They connected the fall Of the birds
with his advent and thought he had
fallen from the clouds.
The sound of the rifle, which they
had never before heard, they believed
was a signal to announce the white
mans coming. Small wonder, then,
that their hardly allayed fears were
again aroused when he brought down
fire from heaven by means of his burn

Would You
Like to Feel
YoungAgain?

Old people certainly have bad
feelings that those below fifty
hardly understand.
1t is discouraging to find that
little tasks that once were easy
are now very hard.
Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all is that feeling of
languor, of inability to act, of
weariness at trifling exertion.
Nothing will make the old young
again, but Vinol will prevent
ninety-ninc out of one hundred old
people from jfsling SO old.
There is no humbug about it.
We found out about Vinol and tried
it every way before we decided to
put it on the market and guarantee
it. Now we believe that almost
any tired, discouraged old person
who will take bottle of Vinol will
feel better right away.
1t will increase their strength,
appetite, and brighten their spirits.
1t does this by nourishing. In
old people, the digestion be-
comes feeble. Vincl supplies quick
nourishment and helps the food to
nourish. Don't blame the old
folks for being blue and cross.
Take home bottle of Vinol.
Money back if it isn't helpful.
