Habits Of the Ducks.

Men whose lives have been spent in
the care of domestic birds tell me that
there are none more nervous than the
duck. Although it is apparently an
easy-goiug, dull and seasuous orea-
ture, the duck is said to be the most
easily excited Of all the feathered onee
which comprise 80 much Of our food
supply. AND this is accounted for by
the fact that duck is q light sleeper.
It never retires for rest until mid
night, and by 4 o'clock or it 10 ont

Thanksgiving Day Legends.

We suppose that Thank sgiving Day
originated with Americans, and that,
prior to the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers, the world did not know the
day. This is untrue. 1t is the ma
ture of those who are generous and
Thoughtful to be thankful.
All the ancient nations celebrate d
special days for the giving of thanks.
The early people from Phunician
times had days Of thankfulness, which
marked the harvest period, the return
of sunshine to the earth after the
longest night of each year, Dec. 81,
changes in the tide which made the
hshermen's work more profitable, free
dom from q plauge, victories in battle
over enemies, triumphs in school or
educational work.
Thanksgiving Day in the United
States is only one special occasion of
certain nation. Other nations have
other days for their thank offerings
But the spirit Of all is the samoan
effort an the part of the people to be
gra .eful fer favors which have cope
directly through human endeavor to
encouragement of the right.
At the best the world is not very
large, not one-half as large as human
ambition, and the best of this ambi-
ton is that which strives for thank.
fulness through having helped an.
other on the way to true life.

PLENTY OF MEAN LIQUOR.
Much of it Rank Poison, Says Chemis
Wiley.

''lf the man who said there was no
such thing as bad whiskcy, but that
there was good whiskey and better
whiskey, could sec and taste some of
the stuff that we arc analyzipg every
day he would admit that there is stuff
sold under the name of whiskey that
1T least is bad. In fact, it is little
bettcr than rank poison and we Occa-
sionally do run across stuff that it is
no eXaggcration to call poison
These remarks were made few days
ago by DR.. II. W. Wiley, chief Of the
bureau Of chemistry Of the agriculture
al department, when he was in New
York arranging for the installation of
the bureau of analysis for imported
food and liquors at tho appraisers
stores. They arc particularly timely
now in view of the investigation being
carried on by the city authorities into
the deaths of several persons in the
"Strykcr' $ Farm ncighborhood which
have been attributed to the drinking
of poison sold as whiskey.
OF course the cases now under invcs
tigation are extreme ones. The stuff
which the victims Of the saloon keep
crs greed drank and from which they
died, has been found to have contain
ed large percentage Of wood alcohol,
put i'll no doubt to give the liquor the
bite which is so much desired by
some drinkers. Wood alcohol il dead
1y poison and only the most ignorant
would use it to fortfy whiskey. This
stuff was doubtless manufactured in
quantities as required in the saloon
keepers cellar, and has never entered
into the markets as a:commcrcial COM
modify. 1t is fact, though, that
hundreds of thousands of gallons OF
stuff, less poisonous only in degree,
are sold over the bars in this country
and in England as whiskcy. and arc
drunk by persons who think they arc
getting the pure juice of the grain.
DIR. Wiley's Investigations in this
country and those Of The London
Lancet in England have shown that
many of the popular brands are not
whiskey at all.
In order to understand what il
meant by this statement it is neccs
sary to understand what true whiskey
is. DR.. Wiley has laid down deini
tion for his food standards depart
ment which is generally accepted, both
by scientists and the trade, as the
true one. 1t is as follows:
"Whiskey is the distilled product
OF fermented cereal grains, properly
aged in wood, in order to remove the
greater part of the fuisl oils, etc.,
produced during the distillation
Whiskey should not contain less thar
As or more than 55 volume per cent, Of
alcohol, and not more than O25 pei
cent. Of total solids (extracts). The
content Of fusel oil should not exceed
0.25 per cent. No artificial color 9th
er than that revived from the wood in
which it is stored is admitted in whis

Nearly 200 representative citizens of

its purpose the overthrowing of the
Mormon Church as temporal power.
The meeting was the result of a few
conferences held during the week. In

to be suggested to larger meeting was

TALKS OF GOLDFIELD.
Assayer Il. l.. Fletcher Gives Some
of the Figures of His Tests.

E. l.. Fletcher, the Tonopah Mining
Company's chemist and assayer, and
one of the owners of the Great Bend
Company's property, at Goldfield, came
in from the West yesterday on his way
to Joplin, NO., says the Salt Lake
Herald of Sept. IL. When seen yester-
day and questioned on results being at
tanned at Goldfield, Mr.. Fletcher said I:
81 am almost ashamed to talk about
the camp, for l realize that it is impos-
sible to tell the truth without convinc.
ing the uninitiated that am, to put it
mildly, gross exaggerator. There is
only one satisfaction to be derived from
saying anything and that is that no one
has yet been tempted to personally in.
vestigate the district who has left it
with a report that he has been fooled.
ITO talk Of the strikes that are being
made and to give assay values of the
ores is to talk Of things that are being
retailed every day, but it may be inter-
esting to say word or two ON the sub
ject. The Sandstorm strike has caused
much comment and, as have been do
ing most Of the assaying and test-mak-
ing on the rock, l probably know as
much about it as any one. In that
property there are over ten feet of ore
that will average better than $50 per
ton; there are two or three feet that go
from $400 up to several thousands,
while there is a five or six.inch streak
that the last sampling made showed to
contain $84, 900 per ton. Nuggets as
big as the end of your finger, many of
them, are found in this streak, which s
unquestionably the richest ever dis.
covered in that camp.
"At the Jumbo. 200 feet beneath the
surface, there is one shoot of ore eight
feet thick which runs $4,000 per ton. and
many other properties in the district
have phenomenally rich ore.
eat the Great Bend we have not
done enough work yet to say that we
have mine, but no one can see the
property and say other than that we
shall have one to rank with the top
notchers.''
