Emery comes from the island of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean.
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are in the northeast of the island, the
deposit descending into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found in lenticular masses, resting on
layers of schiSt in limestone, almost
Identical with Parian marble. the I'm
est marble known, which comes from
the island Of Paros, close by. There
are about 800 men engaged in the
trade, all Of whom have to be married
before they are admitted to the fra
ternity. The material is much too hard
to be dug out or even blasted. Great
fires are lighted round the blocks till
the natural cracks expand with the
heat and levers are then inserted to
pry them apart
This system is continued until the
blocks are reduced in size to masses Of
cubic foot or less, and they are then
shipped as if they were Goals. There
are said to be 100000 tons yet avail
able at Naxos. 1t is one of the hard
est substances yet known, coming next
to the diamond, and among its crystal
line forms known to the jewellers are
the ruby and the sapphire.

Raking Grass After MOVING.

Some persons advise raking after
each moving. l do not, because the
clippings drop down into the grass and
form a mulch, which 1 consider Of
great benefit. They also help to fer
tilize the soil. The lawn that is not
moved often enough will not look well
after you have been over it with the
mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward up-
on which it falls This will wither and
turn brown in day or two and great
" detract from the beauty of the lawn.
But if you keep your lawn well moved
and that means going over it at least
three times week in ordinary sea
sons-the amount clipped or at each
moving will be so slight that there
will not be enough OF it to show. Let
the knife blades be set high enough to
leave at least two inches of the foil
age.-Outing Magazine

Lighting a Pipe.

A smoker who started to light his
pipe on the street turned to his COM
panion and said: "a man told me the
other day how to light an ordinary
match in a high wind. Let me show
you"
There was a stiff breeze blowing.
The demonstration took from his pocket
an envelope, struck a parlor match on
a rail and shielded it inside of the en-
velope, facing the wind as he did SO.
The match burned with hardly a flick
er, and the man who held it pulled on
his pipe with great satisfaction.
That's a trick worth knowing" he
remarked. Here's another. Some
times you get a spark on top of your
pipe which the most vigorous putting
falls to spread over the surface of the
tobacco. In that case take a piece Of
paper of almost any kind and hold it
down in the spark This will spread
the fire and give you the sort of light
pipe smoker wants. = Providence

Patterson Pitches Great Game.

Patterson's pitching was the feat
ure of the first game between the
White Sox and the Senator'S. SO eff
fectiYe was it that it was the fourth
inning before q single Washington
man saw first base IN the whole
game only one man succeeded in
reaching third base The support
Pat received helped some of
course but there was never a time
when he was really in the hole.
Chicago got all Of its runs in the first
two innings and Washington was not
able to score at all until the eighth
when Schlafy got a three Dagger at
the beginning Of the inning and was
brought in by stahl. Chicago's runs
were due to IsbelI's effective hitting.
One two Dagger in the first inning
after Jones had walked and the
other in the second with Tannehill
and Patterson on bases.

Tailenders Trounced.

The game between Chicago and
Boston was so one sided that if was
really pitiful. Pfester's work was
SO easy that it grew tiresome and
there was no time in the game that
it was necessary for him to exert
himeslf- In the ninth inning the
Beaneaters took advantage of the
relaxed condition of the Spuds and
managed to evade a shutout. The
score was 8 to 1 at the end of the
game. Both Pittsburg and New
York won yesterday and so this vic
tory will not increase the Spuds' lead.

PREVENTING LAND FRAUDS.

Anybody having plans and speclfica-
tons for a law that will prevent the
public lands from falling into the hands
of spectators and capitalistic combines
can find a market for it in Washington.
The government is having another fit
of zeal in its laudable ambition to con
serve the public domain for those who
will make proper use of it and to pre-
vent it from falling into the hands of
those who already have enough. The
wanted law must be warranted sound,
unbreakable and impossible of evasion.
1t must possess & power no former law
has ever held-that of making men
honest.
The real nub of all this land business
lies in the fact that the people who
ought to be getting the lands are
asleep to the opportunities presented
by a liberal government in its desire
to get the ~unoccupied domain into the
hands of people who need land and
would live upon n make productive
that which is now lying faliow.
In this case. al in every other affect

When to Go Home.

From the Bluffton (Ind.) Pioneer:
When tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get ac-
Quainted with the fact. When you want
to show yourself at your best go home
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and
practice on your wife and children
first. When you want to shine with
extra brilliancy go home and light up
the whole household" To which we
would add, when you have a bad cold
go home and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy n a quick cur is certain.

Editor Deming of the Wyoming Tri-
bune has made a very strong case
against Uncle Ichabod of the Leader.
1t appears from the evidence at hand
that Mr.. Bartlett was the main insti-
gator of the articles against Senator
Warren published by the Denver Post
during the legislative session of two
years ago; that he gathered these to-
gether and also made a collection of
democratic assaults upon the senator
covering a period of many years, Ar
ticles from the democratic Leader of
early days were dug up. And upon
such eyidence-purely partisan cam
paign assaults written by himself and
without any backing of truth-he hopes
to have the president Of the United
States order an investigation of a sena-
tor. When Mr.. Bartlett took charge of
the Cheyenne Leader he asserted with
considerable vehemence that it was his
purpose to tell the truth. Up to date
he has used it with a great deal of
economy.

Merchants of South Dakota have
formed an association for the purpose
Of clipping the wings of the big mail
order houses. They decline to buy of
wholesale houses who sell to the mail
concerns. This action has caused

proceedings against the South Dakota
Retail Merchants and Hardware Deal

colt to prevent wholesalers, manufac-
turers and jobbers from selling their
goods to plaintiff. 1t is charged further
