North Star Strikes More Rich Ore
and Extension Is On Eve Of
Cutting Big Ledge.

The north crosscut from the 400
foot station is in 1856 feet, and during
the last few days has passed through
a heavily oxidized formation, in which
were number of quartz stringers,
carrying high values in gold and sill

more noticeably vertical than in the

K zas9 venge bore down slowly
upon the King and Queen, now lying
to and awaiting her. The stiff breeze
was growing sitter and the sea was
rising. The experienced eye of Paul
Bittern, the sailing-master of the
pirate, now told him that it would be
dangerous to approach the brig near
enough to make fast to her.

Paul to Bonnet, I'VE shall run too near

Capt. Bonnet did not Immediately

But before he could speak, there ap-
peared on the rail of the King and
Queen, holding fast to a shroud, the
figure Of young man, who put his
hand to his mouth and hailed:
Throw me line! Throw me a

Such an extraordinary request at

Filled with curiosity to know what

WHY THE FARM BOY WINS.
It Is Because His Early Life Has Made
Him Responsive to Every
Moral Suggestion.

No boy need ever regret that he was
born in the country and reared on farm.
He may lack the keenness and polish of
the city cousin. He may be en- barrassed
by his own awkwardness, and teel that
he is at hopeless disadvantage in the
race, but the country boy has wider
range of practical ideas. From the very
first his little services are in demand.
he becomes at once part of the force
prosperity, and feels the independence
OF one who is helping to support him-
self and add to the general store The
farm boy is likely to regard his life as
one of drudgery, and such it may be,
II he loses interest in his surroundings
or is pressed with a continual round OF
duty. There is something heroic in
the country boys struggle with the ele~
ments. Rain, snow and sleet only brace
his courage. The garnering of the crops,
the housing and feeding of the do.
nestle animals, the gathering and prep
aration of the winter fuel give purpose
and zeal to his toll. Then there is the
long tramp, sometimes of miles, to the
district school, lessons learned before and
after long hours of labor Is it any
wonder there are keen wits developing
all outside of graded systems and in de-
fiance of pedagogical order? 1t is the
intensity of purpose with which the
mind acts under the influence of vigor-
GUS health and the conscious value of
time that accounts for these results So
from the farm is being supplied a stream
OF active world-workers, men not afraid
to do their duty, and bubbling over with
energy and ambition. Touch the coun-
try-bred boy. now the merchant prince
or the successful professional man and
how responsive he becomes to every
suggestion of moral life! The same
canont be said of boys reared in the
midst of other surroundings 1t is the
contact with nature that makes the in.
delible impression upon life. No create
er gain can come to the country at large
than that which comes from the promo.
ton of the love and appreciation Of
rural life. Health, happiness. purity
and peace are the natural inheritance
of those who dwell surrounded by fresh
air, beautiful scenes, bright skies and
pure social es.-Agricultura1

INTOLERANCE OF THlBETANS
Natives Not Permitted to Perform
the Slightest Service for
Foreigners.

TO show the severity and tyranny of
the authorities over their subjects, l
will relate what happened to one of my
escort for complying with most harm
less request, which, unfortunately, I
had made to him, writes Capt. J. H.
Baldwin, in Chambers Journal.
One morning, when starting for the
hills, as usual, in search of game. we
happened to pass the spot where our es-
cort had spent the night. I noticed that
one of the party-the youngest and most
pleasing looking of the group-was
seated on the ground repairing the soles
of his boots with some narrow strips of
hide. Remembering that one of a pair
of my own shooting boots required
mending, I asked Dhun Singh to take
it over to the man when We returned in
The evening, and to try to get him to do
what was required. On the following
morning my boot was brought back to
me, roughly repaired, but once more fit
for use. I sent small present to my
Tartar friend, and thought no more
about it. Some days afterward, while
was in my tent about midday, Dhun
Singh called me outside. The poor fell
low who had mended my boots was
standing beside him. The other three
Of the Tartar guards were not in sight
CHANGING anxiously behind him, to make
sure that he was not being watched, the
man suddenly threw of his sheepskin
coat, exposing his back and shoulders
and showing the he had been recently
most cruelty and shamefully beaten with
the lash. TO my establishment, Dhun
Singh Informed me that this terrible
punishment was the result of the Tar
tar's having complied with the small
request had made of him to renair
my boot.

said Helen Bostwick to the cook, who
had come to the sitting-room door to
see what the young leddies" wished for
luncheon, relates Youths Companion.
"And, Molly" called Helen, as the
good-natured Irish girl was leaving the
room, "be sure to put little onion in
the soup. It's perfectly fiat without
it."
Sure, Miss Helen," answered Molly.
Laura Bostwick, who was visiting her
cousin Helen while their mothers were
in the south together, looked up as if
about to speak, and then suddenly
changing her mind, closed her lips.
An hour later the girls left their fancy
work and sat down at the luncheon-table.
Molly brought in the steaming soup. and
Helen began eating it with apparent
satisfaction, while Laura put her spoon
into her dish very gingerly, and took the
merest taste.

Helen, in few minutes. "Why, Laura,
you have eaten scarcely any of yours.
Why didn't you tell me you didn't like

something else"
II do like it, usually" replied Laura,
who never found it easy to dissemble.
Isn't it made the way you like it?

SO 1nconvenient not to like them. But
l seem absolutely unable to eat them in
any shape or manner"
"Well, they have such pronounced

as soon as crop is ready to be har-
vested, to secure it by storing under
shelter. There is but little doubt that
II the loss sustained from stacking
crops were accurately figured out,
there would be enough loss upon the
majority of farms in five years to pay
the cost of building barn sufficient
ly large to store all the crops raised
upon the farm.
The past two rainy seasons have, I
think, demonstrated that capital in
barns is good investment. There
are, however, a great many farmers
who are abundantly able to have con-
venient barns for storing their crops
who have not, simply because they do
not believe the above statement Upon
my own farm I have plenty of stor-
ing room for all the hay and grain. if
I had not, I would not hesitate mo-
ment to invest in more barn room.
But where the barn room is lin
tied, and it is necessary to stack hay.
a derrick similar to the one illus
trated in the cut can be erected that
will greatly lessen the labor involved
in stacking. The derrick shown in cut
requires three poles, two 40 feet long
and one 81 feet. The two longest poles
should be arranged in the shape of an in
verified V by boiling the ends together
with three-quarter-inchb bolt. The poles
should be set into the ground at least
four feet in order to help stay the
derrick. The derrick can be raised
by the use of rope and tackle, and
thus greatly lessen the heavy lifting
1t will be necessary to stay the poles
by running a No. 10 wire from the
top to the single pole over the top
of the other poles, and then down to
the ground about 30 feet from the
foot of the derrick. 1t will also be
necessary to stay the derrick in 9TH
er directions The manner in which
the fork is arranged is very clearly
shown in the cut This derrick has
now been in use five seasons, and has
proved very satisfactory.-LeoC C. Rey-
holds, in Ohio Farmer.

HOW TO BUILD A ClSTERN.
Ohio Man Describes a Method Which
Has Given Satisfaction for
Twenty Years.

will try to tell your readers how
to build cistern that will supply
good water for all purposes. Dig hole
ten feet in diameter and II feet deep
(smaller if you want). Make the bot
tom in shape of saucer or little
lower in the middle, for convenience
in cleaning. Commence in middle OF
the bottom to lay the wall with brick.
Soft brick will do. Lay the brick fat
wall, making a two-incn wall. Use
mortar the same as in any other brick
work Be sure to put the bricks against
the dirt wall solid Build the wall the
shape of jug.
After the outside wall is finished,
build a wall across the center, using
good line brick, and use cement in-
stead of mortar. Make the joints per-
fectly tight so the water will have to
soak through the bricks. This center
wall must be four inches thick, so lay
the bricks fiat. Make an inlet and OUT
let with three or fOur-inch sewer, or
gaspipe; or common drain tile, laid
in cement will do. Of course, they
want to be on the same side of the
center wall, and the pump on opposite
side. Leave opening at top large
enough to get down on either side Of
center wall.
Now the brick work being done,
cement the bottom and side walls
thoroughly with good cement Let
no water get into the pumps side ex-
cept that which goes through the CEN
ter wall, and if you don't have water
good enough for any purpose just let
me know. In 1883 we had one built
as above and it is working all right.
In 81 had the one put in where we
are living, and I know it is all right,
for we use water from the cistern for
cooking and drinking part of the time,
and have a splendid we'll, too.-T. J.

GERMAN SANITARY HOUSING
Much Is Being Done by Building So
cieties of Germany to Benefit
Working People.

According to United States CONNER
cial Agent Harris at Eibenstock,
great deal is being done in Germany for
the benefit of the working people, espe-
cially in the matter of providing them
with suitable dwellings. Large man
ufacturing establishments, municipal
bodies, charitable organizations and
private spectators, Mr.. Harris says,
have each and all done much toward
lettering the hygienic conditions and
general welfare of the skilled workman
and his family in every part of the en-
pire. Since 1912 the Prussian govern
ment has expended about 100000 in
dwelling houses for the coal miners in
the district of Saarbrucken and the min
ers repay the loan by monthly INSTALL
ments without interest Similar meth
DDS were adopted with success by the
royal munition factory at Spandau. The
building societies of Gladbach, Barmen,
Dresden and other cities of the empire
have also proved successful in that re-
spect. The Krupp establishment at Es-
sen takes the lead in providing COM
Portable houses and cottages for the la
boring classes. In 1901 the value of the
dwellings used exclusively by it's work
men was $3,875, 000 There were 1900
houses of two rooms each, 1859 houses
of three rooms each, 448 houses of four
rooms each, $50 houses of five rooms
each, 63 houses of six rooms each, and
"a houses of seven rooms each, making
total of 4,274 houses. During the past
ten years a great improvement has TAX
en- place in the conditions surrounding
the dwellings Of laborers, and the in
creased attention on the part Of munic-
1pal authorities to sanitary arrange
ments and the police laws against too
many persons occupying one room, Com
mercial Agent Harris says, have had a
salutary influence
