A Strong Syndicate.

A syndicate composed Of Malcolm
L. Macdonald, the eminent mining
engineer OF this city, ]. F. Mitchell
and j.. t. Miller Of Goldfeld, and j..
C. Corners of Idaho Springs, have
purchased a number OF mining claims
at Bullfrog. The properties pur.
chased consist OF the New Hamp-
shire group, the Boston and Hennosa
claims and the Sunrise Fraction, con-
tanning approximately about l3O
acres. These claims were located
in November, 1904, by 7. A. Nc
Charles, associated with whom in
the location was j. f. Miller. The
New Hampshire group is about one
hundred yards distant from the
Shoshone property, owned by Mont

sidered very aristocratic territory.
The consideration was $50, 900 cash.

About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for
which such a varied and useless lot
Of remedies have been suggested, To
say that it can be cured is, therefore
a bold statement to make, but

JOYS an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment of
this disease. One application Of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hun
dreds Of sufferers have testified to
permanent cures by its use, Why

A Peculiar Animal,

Regarding some of the peculiar char.
acteristics of that strange link between
birds and beasts, the duck billed platy-
pus of Australia, writer says: ut
makes it's home like an otter IN bank,
tunneling up from the entrance under
water some thirty or forty feet,
which it's powerful forearm muscles
make nothing of, to place where it
can find dry and well drained bur-
row. Its food consists chiefly Of in
sects, crayfish or 'yabbess,' which it
bolts, hard shell and all 1t will stay
from ten to fourteen minutes at a
time under water, searching the mud
and stones for these delicacies with its
ducklike bill. 1t makes a most fas-
cinating little pet, becoming very tame
and squeaking with delight when fed.
Its antics are a constant source of
pleasure, though if care is not taken
it will overeat itself, seeming to have
in captivity difficulty in digesting the
hard crayfish shells. Its coat is like
the mole's, of an unusually silken and
glossy texture"

OF course reading may become mere
Indulgence and dissipation, habit to
be corrected; also it is very evident
that many great, resolute natures have
been built up with little reading or by
much reading of few books and much
bordering much reading of men, of
opinions, of events, rather than Of the
printed page. Men like Cromwell and
Lincoln and others who have changed
the course Of modern history have been
30 nurtured. We could even point to a
very great and effective modern scien-
tifc genius who, with an apparent aver
sion to scientific literature, gets his

from experiments and from the tween

piled to friendly experts-Century.

Carpenters stroke. to Drive = Nail.

Carpenters Strokes to Drive y Nail.
How many hammer strokes does a
carpenter use in driving nail2
Perhaps not one carpenter In thou
sand or one layman In ten times that
number can tell or ever think of it.
The truth Of the matter is this: The
carpenter takes seven strokes In driv-
ing a nail into ordinary wood and
twelve regular strokes and two finish
ing taps in driving nails into hard
wood.
These figures are furnished by man
who works at night and sleeps-or tries
to sleep-by day and whose bedroom
window opens out upon fiat building
In course Of erection. He figured the
average number of hammer strokes for
nine mornings and, having learned
them, moved to a hotel until the new
building is completed.
He discovered that the carpenter
drives an average Of three nails min
ute in soft wood and fraction under
three in hard wood. At this rate he
would drive LAO nails a day in soft
wood If he keeps up the gait steadily
and 1882 in hard wood. He would give
10,0SO hammer strokes in soft wood
and 20,160 In hard wood. Chicago Trib.

Miss Jennie M. Craig, daughter of the
late Miller and Nancy keenan, Craig
passed away last Wednesday morning
at the home of her sister, Mrs. F. R,
Mills in Wollastop, Mass. Miss Craig
was born in Ryegate in 1850, her early
life being spent there and in Topsham,
and later she made her home in Lowell
Mass, till about two years ago when
she went to live with her sister, and
since that time she has been a great
sufferer from rheumatism. Acute Bright's
disease finally terminated her life, after
an illness of two weeks. Her beautiful
unselhsh lite made her many friends and
no one knew her but to love. She was
tenderly cared for by her sister, who
with her husband accompanied the re-
mains to South Ryegate, where the
funeral was held Saturday at 2 O'Clock
at the home of Samuel Mills. Rev. w. S.
Wallace oficiated. The deceased leaves
two brothers, Albert of WoodsviIle, and
Rockwell of NARROW, N. H., and one
sister, Mrs. F. R. Mills of Wollaston, all
of whom were present at the funeral.
Among other relatives from out of town
were Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Craig and son
and Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Brown of
Woodsvilie. The floral tributes were
rare and beautiful, testifying to the high
esteem in which she was held. Inter
ment was in District No. 8, beside her
parents, brothers and sister.

The heart of England is a sturdy
member that throbs responsive to ev-
cry call Of duty. That, indeed, is not
common to England, but is a heritage
of every land where the love Of country

real heart Of England-its exact geo.
graphical center-is altogether another
proposition. So far from being occu-
pied by patriotic sentiment, tree ex'
actly fills the space. 1t is called Round
Tree and Is both a picturesque and dis
tinguished growth. Cold stone might
mark the spot, but this living monu'

associations attached to 1t thickly as

Numerous as are the members Of the
Smith family, they do not occupy as
prominent a place in European direc-
tories as they do IL those Of England
or at home, though they take up much
room in the Berlin directory, 5000
schmidts being registered. They have
to give room, however, to the Schultzes
and Mullers. In Brussels the Jansen
family is the most numerously repre-
scented, while the greater space in the
Paris directory is given over to the
Martinets.
Morelli and Vitelli are the names
most numerous in Naples, and here the
Smiths sink into significance; but, like
the word "helIo," the name Of Smith
is heard around the world and is repre-
scented in practically every directory
published, more than may be said OF
any other surname, whatever Its ma
