Gold In the Snow.

1t is said that there arc some places
on the Copper River where the snow,
when melted and strained through n
cloth. leaves n small trace of gold de-
post. No perfectly satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of this has been given but
some scientists say that the gold ay
have been brought from the far North
by the heavy winter gales that sweep
over that part of the country. 1t is
possible that if all the snow in that re-
gion could be melted it would leave on
ground millions of dollars in gold
dust, and yet no artificial way has
been found of making it yield in pay
ing quantity. -

THE CARE OF CARPETS.

A good laye: of newspapers under
meath carpet will prevent all Danger
from moths, which have a strong OBJ

come anywhere near it to lay their
eggs.
Fresh papers should be used every
time the carpet Is taken up.
Tea leaves, damp salt or newspaper
that has been soaked in water Sld
then squeezed dry and torn into small
pieces ere ali very good for taking up
the dust when sweeping, but tea leaves
should always be rinsed in water be-
fore using, especially If the carpet Is
a light one.
Damp salt brightens the colors won
derfully If, they are at all faded OF
soiled.
Remeber that carpet should always
be swept the way of the nap. To brush
the other way Is to brush the dust In.
Attend to all stains as soon as pos
sible. If yeft, they gradually sink in:
to the carpet and are much more dlni-
cult to remove than if done at once. F:

CLEANING SILVER PLATE.

For cleaning silver plate the follow
mg mixture is recommended: To two
ounces of prepared French chalk add
one.ouarter ounce of ammonia, four
ounces of alcohol and two ounces OF
water: add to this when the chalk
and water are thoroughly incorporat-
ed ten grains of cynaide of potassium
dissolved in two ounces Of water. The
resulting mixture should be OF
creamy consistency. To give 1t a
pleasant odor add twenty drops OF OIL
of sassafras. The mixture should
be placed in bottle and thoroughly
shaken before used. Apply with
jewellers brush over the whole sur
face of the article. If this happens TO
be deeply engraved, use what painters
call stippling stroke, which consists
of jabbing the bristlcs into the re-
cesses and grooves Of the chasing.
If highly polished do not use q brush,
make n pad of cotton flannel flled
with cotton wool and apply the mix
ture. After the article has been re-
stored to its original brightness wash
thoroughly with CASTLE soap and wa

Precedence In Australia.

The recent distinction conferred by
the king on the cities of Melbourne
and Sydney in giving their chief mag
istrates the enhanced dignity of lord
mayor and the title of right honorable,
has raised some questions of etiquette
and precedence. 1t is contended in
some quarters that the title of right
honorable gives the lord mayor of Mel
bourne, the temporary capital of the
commonwealth, rank and precedence
over the president of the federal SEN
ate and the speaker of the house
of representatives who are only honor
ables. If at the next great viceregal
function the lord mayor of Melbourne
attempts to go in ahead Of the com.
lonwealth, complications may possibly
arise. But perhaps in the meantime
the Hcrald's college in London will be
consulted on this and kindred points,
and an amicable solution arrived at.
By the way, Montreal and Toronto,
the leading cities Of Canada, are in
quiring why they also should not have
lord mayors. Well, if they bestir them
selves and request in the right quarter,
doubtless their ambition will be graf
ificd. The Canadians are not so push
full in making representations as the
Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.

SIDE SLIP PREVENTED.
Non-Skidding Device For Automobile
Wheels.

An English invention to prevent "side
Slip in an automobile, is shown in the
accompanying cut. According to the
London Engineer. the device itself, al
though capable of construction iii num-
bcrless ways, consists in its p.esent
form of two flexible wire hoops, one
on either side Of the wheel--tlle hoops
being connected together by steel
chains passing zigzag from, one to the
other around the tire. The hoop on in
side of tho wheel is endless, while IT,:
hoop outside has right and left hand
coupling; affording means for adjusting
the device to the wheel. The diameter.
of the, hoops Is such that they cannots
pass over the per ryTery Of the wheel i'm
use, and the whole combination centres
itself in running, and cannot come Off
even in the case Of Debated tire. The
chains are each separate piece, and
after excessive wear any chain is easily
slipped out and replaced by n new one
without disturbing the householder.

Certain French papers have lately

Certain French papers have lately
been deyoting much space in the effort
to prove that Gibraltar is no longer
The key to the Mediterranean and that
modern steam-driven ships have de-
stroyed it's usefulness to England as
a fortress. On this account theysare
warning Europe to watch closely the
designs of perfide Albion on the op-
posite Moroccan coast. In reply to
this English papers are pointing out
that Gibraltar has never been the key
TO the Mediterranean save in the sense
of a point d'appui for the British caVy,
and particularly the Mediterranean
fleet. While it is true that modern
guns might carry across the strait the
chance of hitting warship in mo-
tion are all but nothing. 1t Is no
longer regarded as anything more than
a supply station for the navy, but as
such it is as important as ever. Eng.
land could not hope to command the
strait, even if she had fortresses on
the other side, without the help OF
her navy. There are thirteen miles
of water at the narrowest point and
no land guns could prevent a feet

A BIT OF GREEN.

"a bit Of green" for the living room
In winter has wonderfully trans
forming effect. The most simply fur
nished room looks lovable with the
addition of a growing plant. Among
vines that lend themselves easily to
this treatment the manettia is per-
haps the most desirable. 1t grows
freely and twines about any sort OF
support, even itself, if nothing else
offers. The pairs Of little tube
shaped blossoms, scarlet and lemon
yellow, show in CHEEKY contrast with
the masses of dark glossy green
leaves. 1t is 'Scompanionable,"
homelike sort of plant, and deserves
the epithet of "amiable" given IL by
one grower. 81 never have rubber
plants" said this home keeper. "They
are easy to care for and make good
showing, but they are such stolid, un-
sympathetic things. l like companl-
enable plants"
The manraudia vine is another
dainty plant for house culture, especi-
ally for hanging baskets and bracket
jars. The leaves FIRE ivy shaped and
translucent and the blossom tubelike,
sore two inches long and faring in
the face. White, pink and purple are
the commonest colors. This plant is
particularly hardy, resisting even
light frosts. The Kenilworth IVY,
with it's tiny leaves and dainty BIOS
SONS, Is always in order, making an
attractive covering for the large pots
Of other plants. Two or three seed
lings of this placed about the roots
of each plant will soon hide all pots
and boxes under a wealth of virlle

REPUBLICANS

HeavyiSIump in Democratic

The Republicans won the honors in
Freeland borough yesterday, electing
William E. Martin, candidate for bur
CESS, by rs majority, Anthony Ride
wick for tax collector by 81 and George
II. Hartman for auditor by l24. The
Republican candidates for poor district
offices also swept the town, Campbell
having majority OF 1866, White Ill and
Bleckley 1877. The vote as cast in each
ward is published in another column.
The total vote polled in the borough
was l,0l0, which is 25 less than was
cast at the preceding election for bur-
CESS and tax collector. Some of the
wards fell off heavily, while others in
creased slightly.
Thnee years ago the four Republican
wards gave Drasher, for burgess. 164

day gave Martin, for burgess, 15l over

Boyle, for burgess, led by 235 votes,
and Maloy, for tax collector, by 1914
These wards yesterday gave Oberrender,
for burgess, 73 majority, and McNels,
for tax collector, So majority.
The above brief analysis of the vote
proves conclusively that the Republican
victory was not due TO any gains in the
wards where the party is dominant, but
that they won because the Democratic
wards failed to respond to expectations.
The slump in the Democratic vote In
the Fifth and Sixth wards is said to be
due to the capture by the Republicans
of the Slavish and Polish voters in the
districts named, which, with lukewarm
interest shown by workers who were
heretofore active in fighting the party's
battle, cut heavily into the Democratic
vote.
In the Second and Fourth wards
Republican councilmen were elected to
seats which will be vacated by Repubi-
cans.
The Third ward elected a Republican
school director to succeed an outgoing
Republican.
The Fifth and Sixth wards returned
Democratic school directors to take the
place Of men of the same party, and the
new councilman from the Fifth will
succeed a Democrat.
The result was received very quietly
aud without any demonstration on the
part of the Republicans. However, the
"I-told- d-you-so" fellow was around today.
The present political complexion OF
the council is eight Democrats and four
Republicans, and that of the school
board is the same When the candi
dates-eect take their seats there will be
no change in the number on either side.
