County Superintendents'
Convention.

The work accomplished by the con
vention of the county superintendents
of public instruction in Boise last week
will undoubtedly prove benefit to
every school in the state
1t was a matter of regret to all that
the meeting could not have been ex
tended over three or four days, but
this was i'm ossible, as many superin-
tendents were obliged to hurry home
TO attend their institutes.
Miss Scott will offer prize OF $3.50
to the schools showing the most hand
somely arranged and decorated
grounds. This will be divided into
five prizes-two for the city schools
and three for the rural. In each
county committee of three. consist
ing of the county superintendent, one
trustee and one teacher will select the
school having the prettiest ground as
. competitor. The photographs OF
schools SO selected will be sent to Miss
Scott, who will refer them to com
mittee of architects and authorities on
landscape decoration.
Most OF the county superintendents
rep rted difficulty in securing the at.
tendance of teachers at the institute
County superintendents have the
power TO revoke certificates OF teech,
era who fail to attend the institute
without valid excuse, and this power
will be more freely exercised in the
future
A number of changes were suggest
ed with regard to the course OF study
All teachers intending TO teach. and
holding state certificates or life diplo
mas must file copy of the same in
the office of the county superintend-
eut in the county in which he is en-
gagged to teach.
Wherever the travelling library car
be used to advantage books will hs
sent
Regarding the enforcement of th,
compulsory education law, Miss Scot
suggested that the teachers in eaci
county should make monthly report
on the subject to the county snperin
tendent and the latter should see to i
that the law is properly enforced ant

ATLANTA
Atlanta, Aug, 81.

Walter S. Brown, who is operat-
ing the very promising Minerva
mine, has been joined by his wife
and two sons, who will probably
spend the winter with him in
camp.
The operations at the Minerva
mine will be on an extensive scale.
A ten-stamp mill is being erected
on the Yuba River, at the foot of
the hill, and this will be connected
with the tunnel by an aerial tram,
which will admit of the ore being
delivered at the mill quickly and
cheaply.
The Monarch mine continues to
show up better every day, and there
is no doubt of its being one of the
best mining properties in the state
1t is being Systematically developed
and when the owners commence
taking out ore it will be big divi-
dend-payer from the start.
Between thirty and forty men are
steadily employed on the Petit, and
it is expected that this mine will
add materially to the fame and
wealth of the camp.
Mr.. Alex Callow, who is interest
ed in the Minerva and who has
spent several weeks in camp during
the preliminary work on the mine,
has left for his home in Pittsburg
where he will spend the winter.
c. R. Ewing of the Monarch has
returned from Colorado, accompa
MED by his bride.
Daniel Kirby, superintendent o
the Monarch, left Friday for Colo
rado, where he will visit his family
for fortnight.
Atlanta gives promise of being g
lively camp this winter. Prepara
tions of comprehensive nature ar
afoot for the systematic exploitation
OF the various mines, and this viii
not only give employ ment to thos
directly engaged in mining, bu
will necessarily give impetus to ev

that he had just succeeded, after
three months of honest toll, in cor

but he is diplomat, and took this
method to remove the differences
heretofore existing between himself
and poultry strikers at the ranch.
From this time forth he expects
more goodwill and eggs than have
been shown him for a long time.

The ProMess Of Miss KELLOGG.

Miss Emma Kellogg, who is seek
ing an appointment as game warden
for Routt and Rio Blanco counties, in
Colorado is young, a hunter OF big
game and has had many exciting eX-
periences. She lassoed a young bear
once and took it home alive. She WAS
hunted mountain lion, deer and elk
and is we'll versed in woodcraft.
The young woman's most daring
adventure was a ride On the back Of
an elk which had attacked her in the
forest. Her gun being out OF reach,
she promptly climbed a tree. The
elk butted the tree with such force
that she fell. alighting on the ami
mails back. She grasped the antlers
and held on while the angry brute ran
through the thick underbrush. Its
antiers finally became entangled in
the low hanging branches Of a tree,
and while the animal struggled Miss
kellogg cut its throat with her hunt.

Air Brake on the Auto.

The braking of high-powered cars is
one of the most important problems in
automobiling. The presence at the
recent Chicago show of what is prob
ably the first motor vehicle to be
equipped with air brakes is therefore
interesting. The machine in question
has a small air pump, driven by cam
on the crank shaft, which forces air
into a tank The pump is provided
with automatic mechanism that can
be adjusted to throw it into action
when the pressure in the tank falls
below given point, say 90 pounds,
and out of action when it reaches so
pounds per inch. Connected with the
air tank by tube is a small cylinder
on the rear axle having two opposite
ly acting pistons that when pushed
outwardly expand friction shoes in
brake drums on the rear wheel hubs.
Each stop Of the car uses about two
pounds of pressure, so that if the
pressure is up to so pounds ten
stops can be made before it falls to
60 and the pump is put into action
again.
The compressed air is also used for
blowing a whistle and for forcing
gasolene from large tank under the
rear of the body into a smaller tank
on the dash, which is provided with
guage glass so that the operator can
always see how much gasolene is in
the small tank, which feeds the car
bureter. BY connecting hose direct
to the air pump the tires can be in
f1ated to 100 pounds pressure.
On the dash is a double guage that
shows the air pressure in the tank
and the pressure in the water circula-
tory system, whereby if there is any
stoppage of the circulation the driv-
or will be promptly made aware Of it.

PRETTY HANDS.
How TO Care for Natures Attentive
Gift

There is a subtle fascination in
pretty hand, impossible to explain,
but so powerful that it has been able
to command love when there was
nothing else about the possessor to at
tract special attention. A naturally
beautiful hand is gift to the few; a
graceful, well-cared-for hand is pos
sible to the woman of humblest sta
ton.
No matter what the type OF your
hand may be-the delicate, artistic
hand; the square hand of the orderly
person: the comic hand of the emo
tional woman or the philosophic hand,
long and angular, with knotted
knuckles-to all grace of movement
and perfect grooming are possible.
Flexibility is the first step toward
beauty of movement. No grace is pos
sible with stiffened muscles, and in
such state more nerve force is vast
ed than in actual physical labor. With
perfect control of the muscles you will
use the hands naturally, and entirely
conceal the art by which you acquired
flexibility. 49,
There are a few rules which materi-
ally aid one in the struggle for grace
of movement. Drop every mannerism
in which the hands play an important
part. Do not fuss with the hair. pull
the ears. rub the nose, finger the face,
play with rings or other adornments,
or fiddle with any part of the wearing
apparel. DO not drum with the fin
gers, above everything, for that is
the most common habit and the hard
est to overcome. Bear these things in
mind when alone, and you will soon
find no necessity for remembering
them in company.

Barnum's "Wild Man Of Borneo."

Joaquin Miller the California poet
and naturalist was an intimate friend
of P. T. Barnum. They met abroad
many years ago and kept in touch until
the great Snowman died. Many are the
stories which the old poet likes to tell
of his friend. ''the great American
humbug," and one of them is the true
story Of the greatest "humbug" which
Barnum. ever perpetrated-"th Wild
Man of Borneo." 'r.s..3s.t
ut came about through Mr.. Bar
NUNS love of temperance and his
great kindness of heart" said the poet,
in telling the story recently to friends.
can old sailor who had been every
where and seen everything came to
Barnum one afternoon in Bridgeport,
Conn, and asked him to buy some
things which he had carved from
wood on his last voyage across the
Pacific. He was ragged, hairy, hun
cry, and altogether a terrible speci-
men.
"Where have you BEEN" asked the
Snowman.
Been to Borneo,' answered the old
sailor.
Wen, you look it! Come in and
sit down. We are just going to have
supper
THE sailor did come in, and after
the meal begged Barnum to lock him
up in a cage, a cage with iron bars,
that he might refrain from drinking.
Thus was the Wild Man of Borneo'
conceived. and every one who attend
ed a Barnum show remembers what
an object of interest he was to the
small boys"

White NEGROES.

Occasionally it happens that
negroes are white, but for all that
they are still negroes, since they pos
sess every characteristic, save one, or
their race. Linnnaeus long ago re-
marked that color was, after all,
merely a secondary character The
negroes of which we speak are OF
pure stock without any admixture or
white blood. A family of the sort has

descended from an albino grand
father who married a black woman
ind whose three sons were all normal

women, two of them had children who
we're perfectly normal in respect OF
color. The third married twice. BY
the first wife he had six children
five black and one albino; by the Sec

therefore, skipped an entire genera

children of the original parent, and
then only in certain cases.

An Irish Soldiers Ready Wit When
in Dancer,


At the dinner of the Friendly Sons
of st. Patrick, last Tuesday, Joseph

the cosmopolitan spirit in which the
Irishman becomes American:
There was an Irishman connected

on the battlefield after Bull Run. A
party of Confederate, scouts saw him,
and as he had no uniform, their leader
prodded him awake, and asked, Who
are you? Where do you belong?
What's your name"

All Of the Same Relation,

When the late Charles Godfrey lie,

There arose at one of these recep-
