TWO CLASSES OF OAKS.

One Notable For Its Wood, the Other
 For It's BriIlinncy of COlOring.
 The great oak family might be divid- ed into two Classes-those that ripen their aCOrns in one season, such as the white, post and messy cup oaks, and those which require two full years, such as the red, scarlet and black oaks. To the first class belong the chestnut oak and the live oak of the south. This latter tree for generations played an important part in shipbuilding, but has now been superseded by iron and steel. The leaf which is an evergreen, is en. tirely without fluctuations and is thick and ieathery. The wood Is very heavy and strong, has a beautiful grain and Is susceptible of taking a high polish. At one time this wood was so valuable that our government paid S2OO,O0O for large tracts of land in the south, that our navy might be sure of a supply of live oak timber.
 To the second class of oaks we are largely indebted for the gorgeous col ors of our autumn leaves. The red, scarlet and pin oaks, with their bril- liant reds, scarlets and browns are close competitors with the maple in giving our American landscapes the most wonderful autumn COlOrlngs to be found anywhere in the world. These three trees have leaves which at first glance are quite similar, but by care ful examination may always be dis tinguished.-St. Nicholas.

When Leather was Money.

Leather was very early used as a currency, the Romans employing 1t for this purpose before 0lther gold, silver or brass came into common use. His tory is full of references showing that leather was used by the ancients as a sort of circulating medium of e1- change. It is said on good authority that 80 late as during the reign of Louis XII. of France the country be- came so impoverished and as a con sequence money was so scarce that little pieces of leather with a small silver nall driven through each were in general use as money. Some few specimens of this leather money are stiu In existence, but are only to be found in the possession of numls- matists, by whom they are highly priZed.

EXPENSIVE FLOWERS.
The Tulip Craze In Holland Tn tho
 Nineteenth Century.


 During the tulip craze in Holland In the last century in one year the sales aggregated lO,OOOOOG forlns. Holland went tulip mad. The bulbs were quot ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership in them was divided into shares. Spec ulatOrs sold them short. At one time more tulips were sold than existed. At Lille a brewer sold his trade and good will in exchange for a bulb, which was thereafter known as the brewery tulip. In Amsterdam q father gave one by way of dover with his child. There after the variety was known as the marrlage-of-my-daughter. At ROtter- dam a hungry sailor, happening on a few, mistoOk them for onions and ate them. The repGst became as fa- nous as CleOpatra's pearls and prob ably exceeded it In cost. At The Hague q poor fellow managed to raise a black tulip. The rumor of that vegetable marvel spread. Presently he was visit ed by a dcputation from q syndicate. For that eve lamb of his the deputa- ton offered 1000 horins, which he re- fused. He was offered 10000 lorins. Still he refused. Cascades of gold were poured before his resisting eyes. Finally, tormented and tempted, he succumbed. There and then the depu- tation trampled that tulip under their feet. Afterward it appeared that the syndicate had already grown a gem precisely similar and, unable to bear the idea that a rival existed, had au- thorized the deputation, If needful, to offer ten times the amount which 1t D1id

Cultivate Your wife's FriendShip.

Cultivate Your wife's FriendShip.
 If man has a good wife he has the best friend 1t Is possible to have. "A mans best friend" says Bulwer Lyt- ton, "ls q wife of good sense and good heart whom he loves and who loves him. In woman there are at once a subtle dellcacy of tact and a plain soundness of judgment which are rare ly combined to an equal degree in a man. A woman, If she be really your friend, will have Q sensitive regard for your character, honor and repute. She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing, for a woman always desires to be proud of you. At the same time her constitutional timldity makes her more cautious than your male friend. She therefore seldom counsels you to do an imprudent deed"

DON'T BE BUNCOED!
Buy Your Diamonds at the Globe
 JeweIry Company

Because we carry exactly what the people of Globe wish and that is the best of everything especially in the diamond line.
 If you want full value for your money in a diamond, call on us. If you want more than your moneys worth you want to be buncoed, so do not call or us.
 We carry only perfect diamonds and i there cannot be different degrees of perfection any more than there can be different degrees of honesty. A person is not honest because he hides his crooked work, neither is a diamond perfect if flaw in the stone is covered over by prong. If dia- mond is perfect it is perfect because it is perfectly cut, perfectly polished and free from flaws. It is the perfect gem that can be found at the Globe Jewelry Co. and can be bought as reasonable as any where in the United States, and cheaper than in great many places.
 Now is the time to buy your diamonds as diamonds are advancing in price. When we tell you that diamonds are advancing in price we not only giveyo an opinion, but are ready to back it up in this offer:
 We will buy back any diamond we sell for 10 per cent less than was paid for it, within one year, or at the expira- ton of two years from date of pur- chase, we will allow the full amount paid for it if the purchaser wishes 10 return the stone.

GOLD STRIKE ExClTES
 PEOPLE OF KlNGMAN

This week Kingman awoke to the realization that big strike of gold ore had been made in Buck Mountain, a detached part of the Chemehuevis, and all the available teams and vehicles to be had in the town were pressed into use. Needles also furnished its quota to the rush into the new colorado.
 Although the strike was made a month or more ago, nothing was thought of it until the discoverer came to Kingman and had number of the assays of the ore made. The find was made by Joe Brittan, who had been grubstaked by Mrs. Mary Sweeney. Assays from the find ran from one ounce to eighteen ounces gold to the ton. The vein is situated in the north end of the Buck Mountain. about fif- teen miles south of Franconia and almost the same distance from Havi- land. The ore was capped with ande- site and the good ore was not found until this cap was cut through. The vein is porphyritic and the gold is free. It is stated that the ledge is quite large, but the streak of rich ore is small.
 About one hundred people have gone to She mines and many locations have been made. Mrs. Sweeney, $. k. Porter and Lew Sother, of the Gold Road company, have gone to the dis covery and it is rumor.d that the Gold Road company has taken an option on the mines. The location of the new find is in the low, rolling hills to the east of the Chemehuevis range and below the placer diggings, where SC much placer gold was extracted from the conglonerate ground some years ago.

NEW ADVERTISERS E..

It has very pleasant To- cation with hills and dales for land scape, and perfect light and shade. Mrs. Skelly's fame as a photographer has followed her to her new studio, and she already has nearly all she can do. While in her studio the other day the reporter found the key to her sue cess, and it belonged to no door of mys- tery. It simply fitted the lock of her perfect finishing department.
 Louis Trojanovich X Co.,, the big general merchants near Bankers Gar den, try a little printers ink this week and we feel sure the experi. ment will prove highly satisfactory, as the fact is the stuff is really ar investment rather than an expense. Printers ink, handled judiciously, will prove dividend payer every time. es- pecially in paper of as wide circu- lation as the SILVER BELT. Louis Trojanovich X Co. carry a fine gen. eral stock, and their new liquor, cigar and tobacco store-room is about ready for the goods.
 Jack Ross, from Fl Paso, opens his elegant new gentlemen's resort on Broadway-known as the Coney Island on next Saturday.

He can mix drinks without mixing you, and has just enough of the witty old Emerald Isle about him to make you laugh.
 Through our advertising columns we sell goods for the Globe Grocery Co. today, whose announcements have more circulation among the people than any that can be placed on rocks or adobe walls. P. L. Glumac is the wide-awake proprietor, and his stock is complete and up-to-date.
 Sassoe & Co.,, the North Globe gen. eral merchants, are new advertisers in our columns and have come to stay. The firm is composed of three of the most enterprising business men of that section, and their monthly sales would surprise you.
