recently to spend the Fall and Winter
in the new gold fields of Nevada. sends
the following communication to the
Herald under date of Goldfield. Sept. 90,
though it was written from his camp,
several miles on the road to Golden
Crater, for which camp the writer is
headed. Mr.. Havenor said:
II arrived here 0. K. and found a
booming camp. There are about 5000
people here and they are coming in at
the rate of so or more a day. The
town has about $50 stores, saloons, bust
ness places, offices, etc., and new build
ings are going up as fast as stone,
adobes, lumber and other material can
be secured. Lots sell at from $500 to
$4,000, and rents are high. An office on
Main street. one room, costs 500 per
month. A. two-room adobe rents for
$50 per month. Saloons never close
and one of them has a record of taking
in $l9, 900 in one month"; fair mine in
itself.

1t requires at least four weeks to COM

The operation Is very expensive. The

1t is generally supposed that the
stalencss of bread arises from its be-
coming actually drier by the gradual
loss of water, but this is not the
case. Stale bread contains almost ex-
actly the same proportion Of water as
new bread after it has become COM
pletely cold. The change is merely in
the internal arrangements of the mole
cules of the bread. a proof of this is
that if we put stale loaf into 4 close
~ covered tin, expose it for half an
hour or an hour to IL heat not exceeding
that of boiling water and then allow
1t to cool, it will be restored in appear
ance and properties to the state Of the
new bread.

ENGLAND'S PATRON SAINT.
lie Was Born In Palestine and Was
Echendel In 3O2.

st. George, the patron saint of Eng
land, was born at LYDIA, but brought
up in Cappadocia. He was a tribune
in the reign of Diocletian and, being
a man Of great courage, was favorite,
but as he complained to the emperor
of his seventies toward the Christians
and argued in their defense he was
put in prison and beheaded April ",
800. st. Jerome mentions him in one
Of his "Martyrologics," and in the fol-
lowing century there were many
churches named to his honor. In re-
gard to his connection with England,
Ashmole, in his "IIistor. Of the Order
of the Garter" says that King Arthur
in the sixth century placed the picture
Of st. George Oh his banners, and
Selden tells us he was patron saint OF
England in the Saxon times.
1t is quite certain that the council
Of Oxford in 1000 commanded his fes-
tival to be observed in England as
holiday Of lesser rank, and in 1880 he
was adopted as the patron Of the or-
der of the Garter. The dragon slain
by st. George is simply a common al
legory to express the triumph OF the
Christian hero over evil, which John
the Evangelist beheld under the im-
age Of the dragon.
Gibbon, in his Decline and Fail"
asserts that the patron saint Of Eng
land was George of Cappadocia, the
turbulent Arian bishop Of alexandria
but the character of this ASSERTION has
been fully disproved by Papebroch'
Miner and others.-Exchange

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
1t Cam Be Used Not Only for Cisterns
and Floors But for Fence
Posts Also.

There is little excuse for up to date
farmers wading around in the mud,
when concrete walks may be had around
house and barn with very small outlay
of money, provided the man is handy and
can do the work himself after little in
struction, says Rural New Yorker. Be-
sides the making of walks concrete is
being used in many other ways advan-
tageously and economically. During the
past season we have seen fence posts
made from stone and concrete that are
much cheaper than the cut stone post,
and just as durable. The plan of making
the posts was to dig down two feet into
the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft
ground, and then make box the size
Of post wanted which was filled with the
concrete and topped out according to
fancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted
for hanging gates holes were bored in
he box and the eyes inserted before the
filing was Gone, taking care to have
same anchored we'll in the post A con-
crete fiooris easily made in houses built
Of stone or brick, and renders residence
practically freproof. We saw floors of
this kind made last season that seem to
)e perfection. A wooden floor is first
made of rough lumber and on this is
laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete
is spread six inches thick. When it
dries the wooden floor is removed and
the concrete is self-sustaining. The
conycrete is made by mixing together
Portland cement, sand and coal cinders
It is said to cost but little more than
srst-class floor made of wood, including
the joists. We have seen number of
cisterns made out of concrete, no brick
being used for walling up. In making
cistern of this kind it is necessary to
have rough wooden wall made about
three inches all around from the dirt
and fill in space with concrete. After
the wood wall is removed one coat of
cement completes the cistern, and it is
there for all time to come. The greatest
objection to iron fence posts is that they
are not solid in the ground, being so
small. BY using bed of concrete and
the base of all iron posts set in it will
be found that they will stand as well as
any other post.

an operation performed in January,
1902? At that time DR.. Washburn,
who had undergone previous opera

came to Chicago and again entering
the hospital, underwent second oper-
alton for the removal of a growth on
the liver
After returning to his homo. when
the wound had healed DR.. Washburn
frequently complained of the sensation
of a metallic substance in his body. His
health gradually failed, and upon his
death the other day in a private hos
pital in Valparaiso, Ind, an autopsy
was performed. which revealed for

A BLESSING
IN DISGUISE
BY HEBER FOUNTAIN

THE blow had come so late in life
that it was almost impossible for
Homer Warfield to stand under 1T.
Then. too. the whole life of the man had
been such an unbroken series OF sue
cesseg, and his character so dominant,
withal. that it was like pulling up the
very roots to bow down in defeat and
humiliation. Then, too, there was
purely the physical side. For more than
40 years the mere matter of living for
himself and his family had been an in
cident with him. Even the vast sums
it had cost him in the later years figured
so triyially as matter OF percentage
of the vast sums he handled and the i'm
mense profits he accrued, that they ap-
pealed to his mind in much the same
relation to his general affairs that Of
fee rents, messenger service or other in
cidentals did.
But it was all over now. He had been
securely caught in the mighty machin-
cry in which he so long had been a
controlling factor and had been mangled
to a pulp-all in financial way, Of
course. Personally he was a rugged,
white-haired gentleman of Ct, or there
abouts, still in full possession of his
faculties, mental and physical. He had
aged more in the four weeks after the
collapse of the Brokers' national bank
than he had in any 20 years of his life.
AS was natural, his wife, although
shocked no less, recovered her balance
first in accordance with that law of
nature which gives women the greatest
power Of resistance and the greatest
