"GERRY'S GARDEN"
FRANK II. SWEET.

IL was along in February before any one noticed
"errys tendency toward gardening. An odd time
mld-wlnter, you think? But it was this way:

glowing accounts of great fields and woods and of
planting seeds and growing things were put down as
natural enthusiasm that would wear off in a few
weeks. "
And apparently it had, for he alluded to it less and
less his mother was very busy with the "Fine Laun-

and on another occasion Will HAD reported him as

he had not returned until nearly dark
But this February afternoon all the old animation
and enthusiasm glowing in his face and he burst
into the room where his mother and John Henry were
ironing.
ooh, mother" he began, "Mr. Tefft is planting
seed!"
"Sh-er-wsh sh-wshl" sang the hot irons, as they
slpped across the innumerable wrinkles of the wet

"Well, who is Mr.. Tefft? And what if he is plant

Gerrys countenance fell OF course he had thought
OF that but had hoped there might be some way He
fingered few moments, then turned slowly and went
out, going directly to the backyard He had already

Latest Fad in "soeiety.r

The latest fad in certain eastern So
ciety circles is to be glum and cross.
One phase of this more than usually
absurd affectation takes the form of
ignoring letters of introduction and
this lack of consideration has reused
family feuds in several cases. One
wealthy young Italian, who is mem
ber of one of the best Roman families.
went to Newport this summer with
many letters from prominent persons.
But he has found it impossible to pre-
sent them. 1T is foolish to expect
anything from social leaders these
days and the stranger who asks to be
received by letter has a hard time of
IT," said young man whose letter to
society matron was ignored.

LITTLE THINGS AND BIG.
Oifferentiate Between the Essential
and the Non-Essentiai.

Little things are often of great i'm
portance. but when they are so they
are not little. The pinion OF a watch
wheel. for example, in one sense is
little. in another sense 1t Is not SO at
all; for when 1t is not perfectly ad-
justed, the watch is worthless for time
keeping. 1t is not size that makes a
thing little or great, but its relation to
the end for which number of things
are combined. II thing is essential
1t is important. Because SO many of
the people who are always preaching
the Importance of little things fail to
discriminate between the little and the
non-essential. they often make a
wretched mess of the management of
their own and other peoples affairs
Theoretically. II every factor that con-
tributes to result is perfect. the re-
suit will be perfect: but practically,
for want of time, strength and oppor-
tunity. the efficient man is compelled
to neglect some things for the sake OF
others; and, in order to do this and
yet secure the main end. he has to
discriminate between the essential and
the non-essential. The one who is
thoroughly imbued with the false doc
trine of the Importance of little things,
spends his strength without discrim-
nation, and usually succeeds in miss
Ing the main chance.-The Watchman.

Microbe of Gray Hair.

They have discovered a new mic
robe in New York and it is quite popu-
lar among actors and society women.
1t is called the chromophage, its spe-
cial function being to turn the hair
gray at a comparatively early age. The
handsome actor who has those white
hairs on his temple that the women
admire so is full of the chromophages
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes. He only attacks the hair.
and a man without hair need not wor
ry about the chromophage. For years
it was thought that process of the
blood killed the coloring matter of the
lir cells. but scalpologists in New
York combat that theory. They say
1t is the chromophage. The microbe
does not like heat and for that reason
the woman who uses the curling tongs
is less likely to have gray hair than
the one who puts her hair up in pa
pers.

NEVADA PEARL N. g L.
TO OPERATE IN GoLDFIELD

The Nevada Pearl Mining and Leas-
ing Company has recently been organ
lied to operate some 75 acres lying ad-
jacent to the Lady Elgin group of the
Red King company. A lease on the
Combination No. 3 of the Combination
Mines company and another on the
Rabbit Foot claim of the Palace Gold
field company adjoining the Great Bend
mine are also taken over by the new
corporation.
Those chiefly interested in the COM
pany are Col. Geo. w. Z. Dorsey, j. c.
Mccormack. Judge Fl. F. B~artine, Zeh
Kendall and f. NJ. Dorsey.
On the Combination lease the shaft
is down 100 feet, fully timbered and is
equipped with a whim.
The sulphide zone on this lease has
already been entered. The lease on the
Rabbit Foot is down 56 feet at which
level a crosscut was run to cut the out
cropping ledge. A good body of quartz
was encountered which carried in string
ers values up to 1892. The prospects of
the lease becoming a shipper are con-
sidered excellent, as the ground is on
the same vein system as the Great Bend
n Daisy mines.

Papers have been iled Incorporating
the Higginson Mining and Leasing
company, which is operating the Hig-
ginson lease on the Jumbo Extension
ground, situated in the heart of the
proven gold bearing zone between and
directly adjoining the Mohawk. Jumbo
and Red Top mines. The vein system
from the Mohawk to the Red Top trav-
erses diagonally the Higginson lease,
and it is calculated that this great ore
body will be at a depth
of $50 feet. A portion of the lead has
already been struck in Higginson lease,
there being a shaft, with a crosscut and
a winze, that gives a depth of 10 feet.
The winze is in ore, and total ship
made from the lease prior to the
new company's acquisition to
$685., being net returns from ore with
values of from $3.50 to 225 per ton.
There is now over $50 tons on the dump
that will pay to mill.

are very encouraging, none of the

ore exposed is a typical Goldfield sui

On the property of the Bullfrog West
Extension Mining company there has
been disclosed, by the development work
that has been progressing during the

ever made in the Bullfrog district with
a similar amount of work. The first
shaft sunk is located at the base of the
hill. In sinking rs feet. % feet of
quartz was passed through, all of which
carried good values in gold and silver.
From the seventy-five foot level more
than $50 feet of prosecuting and drift
ing has been done. all in ore of pay

has been run into the hill 161 feet, the
