THE "cAMPFIRE" IDIOT.

An absurd an reprehensibly destruc- tive practice is the building of fires beneath a tree "in order to get the draught." The fools that do this kill great trees for nothing but a campfire. There is no sense in that wretched practice. A fire for camp cooking should be built in the open, and noth- ing is easier. A bare rock is the best place, and if you are to cook by it put up a barrier of loose stones just exten- sive enough to make a fire as large as a kitchen stove would hold. put flat stone over these walls and you have all you want. You can fry bacon ana your corn cakes, and boil your coffee on that stone. This is as good for winter as for summer. And if you want a hot old campfire, clear place of all combustibles and begin small, grad ually adding a stick or two, and the heat beneath will soon grow so strong that you can keep it up for as many hours as you please. But be sure that you let it get down to the ashes before you leave. Nobody knows what may happen after you leave a blazing fire.- Springfield Republican.

GRACE BEFORE MEAT.
How the Theatrical Manager Escaped
 the Ordeal.

In paying a tribute to my distin guished partner and employer l can only say that few men were ever more devoted to their work than was Oliver Ditson. When I went west in the in terests of the firm in 1858. I was told Ia story that has fixed itself in my memory. When MT. Ditson was a young man he attended a church supper and was asked to say grace. He beganin the most graceful way, but concluded the prayer by opening his eyes and saying. Yours truly Oliver Ditson." The force of a lifelong habit was strong upon him. He was a modest letter writer noted for the breVity of his letters, and Yours truly, Oliver Ditson." has become almost a house. hold word.
 similar story is told of Jarrett, the famous theatrical manager, who was requested to say grace at a table where he was a guest but made pre- tense of being deaf; on being asked several times he exclaimed:
 "Pm so d-m deaf I can't hear what you say!" And amid roars of laughter the dinner went on.-Natioal Magazine.

and drag him down to the dissipating practices of the bath tub to undermine his health and wreck his constitution with soap and water.
 Prof. Robertson's theory may not gain many supporters, but it serves tc add to the confusion of the average individual who is trying to keep up with the scientific health promoting movements. What is the latter to do , On the one hand he is told to eat one meal a day and on the other he is told to eat sparingly but eat often. One theory holds that he should swallow moist and gruelly compounds and another insists that he should eat hard crackers and give his teeth exercise. One authority urges him to exercise briskly. as at tennis, and another ad- vises him to take his airings leisurely as at golf. If te follows one set of rules Ee Nill bundle up we'll in cold weather, and if he follows another set he will stop coddling himself and wear thin clothing. Just when he has be- come accustomed to the cold shower bath habit Prof. Robertson comes along and warns him that any kind of bathing is perilous.
 It is getting to be serious thing, this business of being alive. It is pos itively dangerous. One never knows but that when one is feeling physically hale and hearty one has been violating some of the rules and is constructively sick, if not already dead. If one tries to keep track of all the rules one is likely to succumb to worry alone. Still, with the exercise of common sense, all may yet be well.-Chicago News.

NOW FOR THE No-BATH FAD.

If the average citizen is not able to keep himself in a fair condition of physical health at this time it cannot because of a lack of advice. The age is prolific as to wise counsel as to tn" laws of healthful living. The good advice is not only abundant, hut in
 finitely varied. In addition to the mo-
 breakfast movement there have been the one-meal-a day fad and the raw food fad. There have been a propa .
 ganda to promote the wear of summer underclothing all the year around and a cult to encourage the practice of sleeping out of doors. There has been cold shower bath fad, and now, if the judgment of John Dill Robertson is to relied upon, there is to be no bath fad. Prof. Robertson is of the opinion that bathing is foolish and dangerous habit, tending to produce colds and grip and otherwise impair the health. Nothing could be more wicked, he thinks, than to take per son who has lived scientifically unbathed and enlightened all his life

NOT A TRAGEDY
But a Lively Incident and a Bloody
 Trail.

The screams and pleadings of a woman and the angry and profane lan- guage of two men, about 9 o'clock last night, in the alley beside the rear oi the Mohn & Doris undertaking estab- liShment called out a considerable number of people who thought a tragedy was being enacted. From a part of the colloquy they believed that a girl was being murdered. The po- flee were notified by telephone from the Hotel Adams drug store, but be- fore the officers arrived the party had passed in the rear of the Gooding block 10 Adams street. One man and the woman going east and the other to the Hoffman saloon. When the police reached the scene some one produced q candle and a woman'S side comb and a trail of blood were discovered add ing something to the theory of q tragedy.
 The man arriving at the Hoffman proved to be Abe Underhil and he was taken into custody at once by Sheriff Cook He had q severe wound on top of the head made, he said, by beer bottle with which he had been hit by George Klotzbach who, under ordinary circumstances is his best friend. IL appears that he and Klotzbach had been drinking previously and had fallen out over objectionable epithets that one had applied to the other. Then they mixed things and the woman who was with them interfered to stop the fight.
 Later Klotzbach and Underhill were both arrested on warrants issued by Justice Burnett and released to appea: in court Monday morning. The woman was unharmed.

silver ore. north of which was very rich. There have been great quanti- ties of high-grade silver bearing more or less gold shipped from the Galena, also from the Campbell, ad joining. From the Galena, S40,000 or S50.0OO has been netted from small patches of rich ore. The $40 ore was thrown over the dump, which. mixed with the waste and lower grade ores, will today average S25 per ton. and thousands of tons of it now lie there awaiting methods of reduction. It is to be hoped MT. Daniels will hurry along with his $500 Prospector' smelter. There is at present in sight in the Galena some high grade and let's of low grade ore. The silver weakened with depth. but the gold got richer.
 The Gold Belt carries immense quantities Of milling material. Cray ity will take it to Eagle river, in which is water sufficient to reduce all this material, and if any shortage oc- CUTS the mines themselves at depth will supply the deficiency. There are running springs all through the sec tion. The field possesses the requisites to induce large capital and it must be but a little while before smoke will cloud it's hills and steel rails fill the burro trails.
 Two 220 ton bins just completed on the Ajax near the foot of the Long fellow incline tell of the confidence the Arizona Copper Co. has in the re- cent strike on that claim. By some it is said to be the best made in the district in years. The four foot breast of rich ore with which it started has shrunk a little. but the fact has in no wise occasioned Encouragement A strike made in a drift this week has on the other hand, added enthusiasm. Jt is better than three feet of 22 per cent.
 N. l.. Lewis is preparing 10 put up a stock company on the Irish mine where there is TOW reason to expect an important strike of ore at any day 4 tunnel has been driven 115 feet un- der heavy outcrop and little furth- CT in the ledge must be caught. The property consists of seven claims and is within two thousand feet of the foot of the Longfellow incline. Sur face indications over the property are of excellent character and those ac- Guainted with it do not lack confidence. February first it is expected will see the second half of the Shannon con centrator running MT. Benny went into Los Angeles this week to inspect the final work or the plant at the llewellyn iron works. From there he goes into the Boston office of the 
 doubled caDa city at It's concentrator and more ore than it can handle then. while new strikes almost weekly are adding heavily to supply, the Shannon certainly has a great year ahead of it.

HINT FOR BusYBoDlEs:

There are occasional suggestions of a scheme for the deportation of the negroes of the south to some foreign country. Among the theorists the suggestion finds some favor. but among the planters. who need help on their farms, there is a rumpus made when ever an attempt is made to lure away any of the negro laborers. The south needs the negro as much as the negro needs the south, and if busybodies would let the negro alone he would get along very comfortably where he is.-- San Antonio Express.
