The GRACE OF sELE CONTROL.

There is no greater grace than that
! of Self-control. They are few indeed
who do not need this virtue. Some
are in greater need of it than others;
| to all who are aiming at perfection 1T
| is indispensable. Self-control is a
| spiritual brake by which we regulate
our conduct. The word brake is a
! common mechanical device for arrest
ing or retarding the motion of d car
or vehicle by means of friction: con-
tinuous brake with which trainmen
are familiar is a series of car brakes
so arranged that all can be controlled
from one point on the train. Now, we
all know what is likely to happen if the
brakes are not working properly; or II
control of them is lost before some
serious obstacle on the track; or
broken bridge or WashOut: or train
coming right against another OH the
same track at a speed of forty or
fifty miles an hour. Every railroad
man understands the necessity of hav-
ing the brakes all right and under per-
feet control. Thus only can collisions
and wrecks be avoided, and passengers
and property be brought in safety to
the end of the run
The great business of the brakeman
in the spiritual, as we'll as in the ply
steal order is to carry out his orders,
keep a clear head and alert vision, and
see that the brakes are all right, in
good working condition. In what state
are his brakes who ignores the rules
of the road, or who has begun to take
them lightly: whose head is muddled
with strong drink, whose eyes are mist
ed with passion. What is there for
him but imminent disaster and dis
grace and the final dread accounting
at the Terminal?
The grace of self-control-that mas
terry, spoken of by the apostle, and
promised only to him who refraineth
himself-is the grace of a holy. Then
the man-and equally the woman-self-
disciplined by penance, prayer and
almsdeeds. and strengthened by the
sacraments. has the brakes in order
and able to apply them. to foresee the
broken bridge, the-eugine run amuck
and every danger and obstacle which
can impede its progress over the long
and winding road which we call life,
and to go safely through the fearsome
tunnel of death, which is the only
passage to the Light and Peace of God |

OIL FOR THE HANDS.

A woman whose hands were blue
and gray-all colors except flesh color
went to a manicure to have her
hands treated. The manicure. who
was a very wise woman. took bowl
of pure oil of sweet almonds and i'm
mersed the hands of iler patient in the
oil. Keeping them there for some
minutes, she took them out and gently
massaged them until there was not a
particle of oil on the surface. 1t is
astonishing how much oil can be
absorbed by the hands and amazing to
see ii disappear almost as fast as it
is applied. If this is done patiently
and intelligently and for fifteen min
utes at a time the hands will begin to
plump out and the skin to be pretty
again. The hands should not be
washed afterward. for the oil will
surely sink in if well massaged

A MARRIED MANS SONG OF

Some fetching headdress for the day,
A rich and elegant affair.

How dear to me was Betty's bonnet.

At Eastertide she still is seen
In some creation much the same

SALT AND SORE THROAT.

Salt. it is said by a we'll known
physician, would be one of the most
used remedies were it only more cost
~, but, being so very inexpensive and
likewise always within reach, it is
usually overlooked. As "a preventive of
sore throat, a gargle of salt and water
night and morning is highly recon-
mended: this should be especially used
by all members of family in which
there is a case of tonsilitiies or diphth-
eria. The addition of a few drops of
alsohol makes this gargle one which
should be used by any person who
desires to strengthen a naturally weak
throat.

AN OUTSIDERS
OPINION.
What a Salt Lake Man Thinks of
Mason Valley Copper Prospects.

The Salt Lake Herald of a recent
date publishes the following inter
view with Fred A. Flindt, of the
Goldfeld Exploration Company,
who returned to Salt Lake from
Mason Valley some days ago:
With news of vital interest to his
associates in the local syndicate
known as the Goldfeld Exploration
Company, Fred A. Flindt returned
yesterday morning from prospect
ing trip which has lasted since early
in December of last year. He was
not willing during the afternoon to
go into detail concerning what had
been accomplished, arguing that his
business associates had not then
heard his report and that it would
be unseemly to speak of things
that they might nor countenance.
~ can tell you this much" said Mr..
Flindt, land that is that while we
have been a long time in the field
and have been very deliberate about
our Investigations, we feel that the
time has been well spent and that
our little company will be gamer
from the course we have persued.
We have landed some of the very
best copper propositions that 1T was
ever my good fortune to see, and,
after not little work, some waiting
and hard bargain driving, we have
secured them right. We have six
teen claims in one group and five
in another in the Mason Valley
district, between Virginia City and
Bodie, and almost on the California
line. Capt. Q. A. Tibbetts has in
augurated work on some of the
properties with small force of men
for the purpose of making a more
perfect sampling of the ore bodies
and groupings in some of the veins
possible. Other than that / do not
care to talk about our own ground
at this time.
OF the district itself, can say
that it is all right and large ton
mage of ore is bound to come from it.
1t is here that NJ. J. Heller, Capt. J.
X. DeLamar's expert representative
recently closed a deal for fne
property, making final payment.
Power plant, mills and an eight-mile
railroad spur are among the things

Sunset for June.

There IS no question that the Sun
set Magazine is the best of western
periodicals., and the June number,
which is just off the press, proves
the claim which is made for it. This
number contains an abundance of
interesting matter, in which may be
mentioned 1.-The Fate of Play" by
Chester Bailey Fernald, the clever
Californian who wrote the Scat and
the Cherub," which achieved such a
success for its author in London and
New York. Lowell Otus Reese
sings song of appreciation for the
hills in a two-page rhapsody enti-
tied, "In the heart of the Sierra"
William Clark Crittendon, the first
Scholarship at Oxford, describes life
in the oldest university in a new
and delightful way. Katharine
Chandler tells the story of "Sacaja-
wea," the Shoshone Indian girl who
acted as interpreter to Lewis and
Clark, and served as guide to them
on their memorial journey a hund-
red years ago. Z. J. Wickson, un-
der the perennial head of "Califor-
MAS Garden Calendar" tells how
best to keep the garden well watered
during the dry summers on the Pa
cific slope, and the first chapter of a
new serial story by Flora Haines
Loughead, "When the Price Came"
is begun in this number.

planned for this property during the
year and there is no doubt they will
be carried out, as there is a world of
ore exposed in the ground.
Another property close by, is that
owned by H. K. Miller. 1t is produc-
ing at the rate of about 400 tons of
ore per month and the rock which
goes to the United States Smelling
& Milling Company's works aver
ages better than IS per cent. copper.
Every conceivable variety of copper
ore is found in the mines of this
district and most of it, particularly
near the surface, is high grade.
Some of the ground we have secured
is ready to produce at any time and
it is almost entirely hemmed in with
mines of such merit that were they
located in any of the camps close to
Salt Lake they would cause all
kinds of excitement"
While the gold camps have their
attractions and are bound to cause
excitment, Mr.. Flindt is sanguine
that the Mason Valley region will
command more attention than any
of them within year or two.

Because the liver is
neglected people suffer


4 with constipation, biliousness, Y
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. 1t is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford's Black-Draught is 30
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con-
stipation and may be taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. 1t has an in
vigorating effect ON the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
ford's Black -Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
25o. package of Thedford's Black
Draught.
