THE ZINC FIELDS OF MISSOURI AND KANSAS.

In the early days Of the oil
field excitem ent Of Pennsylvania,
AN imaginary line was often called
the limits Of the productive area
The same imaginary line idea
takes possession almost invariably
OF mining men in new district.
Most Of US have known that but
little IL any prospecting has ever
been made east OF the Illinois Cen
trail railroad in Crittenden county.
Why we possibly never have in.
quirel, possibly the reason was
on account OF the Columbia mine
having been worked and ores ship
ped a decade since, and we natu.
rally concluded that the best and
perhaps the only productive pro-
perties should be in that section
which is west of the railroad. This
same idea obtained for several
years in Joplin. As prospectors
multiplied and the ground in the
immediate Joplin vicinity became
covered the area extended, and has
gone even beyond the Kansas
line.
East Of the railroad in this coun-
ty We have two faults or breaks
given us by the geologistS; the
Marion and the Crittsnden. Why
any possible reason exists why
this section Of country shall he

railroad the veins are many and
we'll filled, has always been puz-
Zle.
Within the past few days there
has been found in the limestone
near what is known as the Crit
tenden Fault" the highest grade
zinc blende OF Jack that is posi-
BILE TO conceive Of. 1t is rosin
Jack of virgin pureness, in large
crystals, and il is without doubt
the most promising ground in
which zinc has been found in the
western Kentucky district. In
next weeks Press we shall have
rather full report of some extern
sive prospecting being now car
ried on in that section with the
views of mining men.

TO cHRlsTEN A SHIP.

Three Ways the Girls Have Of SMASH
ing the Bottle.
Rear Admiral Bowles, chief con-
structor of the navy, who was an In
terested spectator at the recent launch
of the armored cruiser Colorado at
Philadelphia, has made some interest
ing comments on the general subject
of the methods practiced in christen
ing warships by breaking bottles of
champagne on their prows. According
to his experience there are three ways
of handling the bottle on such occa-
sions.
He describes one as the baseball
method, in which the bottle is held
like bat and hurled against the side
of the ship with a long, sweeping
swing, with energy enough for home
run or a three-bagger at least. An
other method is described as the ten
mis- blow, in which the bottle is
smashed against the PROV with full
arm serve. The admiral is quoted as
saying that this method was used by
the sponsor of the Colorado. The
third method is described as the ping
pong style, and is dainty little smash,
sufficiently vicious, however, to show
err the champagne on the hull, and
sometimes on the fair operator also.
1t is admitted that none of these
methods is perfect and that failure is
possible in each, through the nervous
ness or excitement of the operator,
who by bad aim, or lack of sufficient
force, may fail to break the bottle and
in that way spoil the whole proceed
ings. A failure of that kind might be
disastrous to ship, at least from a
sentimental viewpoint, and, as the
sailors say, would "hoodoo" that par
ticular vessel. In one case, the spon.
sor delayed the blow until the des
cending ship got beyond her reach !;
but she was equal to the occasion, and
by well-directed throw managed to
smash the bottle broadside on.
To avoid the possibility of such &C.
cidents, Admiral Bowles suggests the
use of device attached to the ship in
such way that when the young lady
releases the bottle it is bound to
strike against the PROV of the ship
with sufficient force to release it's con.
tents, and thus give the ship its maid
en- bath before it reaches its native
Washington Star.

Got Back at the Preacher.

President Dabney of the University
Of Tennessee, when in New York
told about the reply of sinner to a
clergyman of his acquaintance, who
was a Calvinist with the most severe
notions of future punishment. While
this Calvinist was walking along the
street of his native town he met a
man whose tongue had been loosened
by too liberal potentations. The fell
low seemed to be greatly displeased
with somebody, for in his stammering
talk the minister heard over and over
again the phrase, Damn you" Go
ing up to the man, he took him BY
the shoulder and said
my man, don't you know it's very
wrong to use such profanity"
Don't talk to me, sir" responded
the drunkard; 'I'm damning only one
man, and every Sunday you damn
two-thirds of the human race."-New
York Times.

A MARYLAND Wonder.

Upper Cross Roads, Nd, June 18th.
Never in the history Of medicine In
this state has anything created such
sensation by its marvellous cures OF
the most extreme cases as Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
This wonderful medicine seems to
know no limit in it's wonder working
power. Long-standing cases that
have defed the most expert medical
treatment seem to yield easily to this
new conqueror of disease.
Hundreds have testified to the vir-
tue of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They tell
of severe cases Of Rheumatism, Lum-
bago, Backache, Female Trouble, Ner-
vous Diseases and even Dropsy, Dia-
betes and Bright's Disease cured by
this medicine.
Among those who have been bene-
flied may be mentioned Mrs. John
Cooney of this place.
Mrs. Cooney says:
Il believe Dodd's Kidney Pills the
best remedy ever known for Kidney
Trouble and weak back
"They are without exception the
best medicine l have ever used.
81 will always praise them highly,
for I know that they are good"
Mrs. Cooney is only one of many
who say of Dodds Kidney Pills:

EXPRESSION IN THE HAND.

That Member Frequently More Flo.
quent Than the Tongue.
There is wealth of meaning in the
simple pressure of the hand. Not
infrequently a woman's nature and
breeding may be distinguished by the
manner in which she shakes friend 8
hand. 1t may be due to the fact that
there are more nerves between the
brain and the hand than between any
other two portions of the body, but
true it is that the hand is oftener
more eloquent than the tongue, a
Washington orator is quoted as say.

ciates the Importance Of this she will
Immediately begin the study of ex-
preston Of the hand. One human
touch of sympathy or grasp of the
hand can and frequently does mean
more than a volume of words, and to
possess this quality, particularly in a
woman, is no light charm and a thing
that lies within the reach Of every
woman. Should she not have it nat
urally she should speedily cultivate
expression Of the hand.
OF course there are certain hall
marks of a refined hand, beauty and
texture Of skin, whiteness of nails all
essential, but not half so important
as expression. Graceful gesture and
a touch of quick sympathy, these
never lose their charm or power.
