The preparation of work for next
year brings many calls for year books
and for Information on different sub
jects pertaining to our work. One club
has asked for suggestions in Domestic
Science This brought on a search,
which revealed the fact that out of all
the year books on hand, only three
contained even scattering topics on this
subject. This is a good place to sug-
gest that more Of Kansas. and her in

THE CIvTLrzING SOAP

England is agitated over the soap
question. A trust has been formed
there to monopolize the soap industry.
The man at the head of it told the
people that soap was an agent of civili-
cation and ought to be cheap, and that
is what his trust would do--make 1t
almost as cheap as the dirt. He won
his way; got his trust established:
gathered in all the outlying manufac-
turers; reduced expense Of advertising
and cost of commercial travelling; and.
when this was done, he reduced pound
bars 10 fifteen ounces and raised the
price of the bars. The lesson is, don't
trust trust TO do the just and gener-
Gus thing 1t has no other purpose
than to rake in the money. 1t doesn't
care fig for justice, or law, or moral
ity. 1t is essentially selfish. This is
the reason this country has legislated
against the trusts. AS matter of
form, they are not to be opposed, but
are inseparable with them. The people
of England are learning the lesson
through practical experience Soap,
the angel of civilization, bedraggled its
pinions just as soon as it got into the
market. It raised the price and low
cred the size of the bars in one fell
swoop. Civilization began to tremble
as soon the trust became its friend
Now the merchants are combining and
declaring they will not sell any of this
civiIizing soap. So dirt is to be the
habit of the people, which is the fate
that corporate monopoly alwIys in
ficts.-Ohio State Journal.

TEARS OF THE RED SULTAN

Few people know anything about Abb
dul Hamid and why he was surnamed
the Red Sultan" Nero and Caligula
were humane compared with him. The
list of people put to death. imprisoned
and exiled by that monarch is appaIl-
Ing. He reigns through fear. But the
terror he has spread around him has
rebounded on himself. A despot is
necessarily a coward, and in the Turk
ish empire no man trembles more for
his life than the mighty tyrant In the
imperial palace there are innumerable
bedrooms for his own private use, and
not even his most trusted servants
know beforehand in which of the rooms
he will pass the night. Even this pre-
caution does not allay the Sultan s
fears. Every two hours he rises and,
with a revolver in each hand, goes to
another room.
VIII the mysteries of the imperial
palace ever be disclosed? Who will
describe the torture chamber in all its
CHASTITY details? For, horrible as it
may read, there is a torture chamber
not be told here. The Sultan's dread of
sees danger everywhere and at once
fires at g supposed enemy. One day,
meetfng-as he thought person with
a huge knife, he drew his revolver and
killed a child that held a pair of scis-
sors IN its hand. Ugly stories are also
told Of other murders committed
through the same cause But who will
ever write them THE Bystander.

EVENING DRESS AS COCKTAIL

The London Lancet is out with an
article advocating dressing for din
ner" on moral and hygienic grounds.
The custom, according to this eminent
medical authority, sweetens the tenn
per, improves the digestion, and gen.
orally braces the system Evening
clothes as a "bracer' before dinner
puts these formal and somber garments
in rather more attractive light than
they have heretofore been regarded,
and IL all that the Lancet says in their
favor is true. they should be a formid-
able rival to the ante-prandial cock
tail. The Lancet pleads the cause of
evening clothes with what would ap-
pear to be unnecessary warmth. for
really liberal minded people have long
regarded dressing for dinner-unless
the man were running for political
office-as at most venial sin and
such strenuous advocacy of the dress
suit" as "bracer" is likely to do more
harm than good by exciting the appre-
tensions and arousing the antagonism
of the Womans Christian Temperance
Union.-New York Press.

MINES OF MANHATTAN
discoveries Made That Are Reported
Locally to BE important

The Manhattan News publishes the
following concerning Manhattan mines:
Gold values ranging from $45 to $115
the ton and averaging $50 the ton
across eight feet of ore is the present
record at a depth of 100 feet in the
Broncho mine. The ledge is in the
breast of the 175-foot crosscut run out
at that level and is one of the import
ant gold discoveries.
Al j. Lye, superintendent of the
Broncho mine, has been crosscutting to
the southeast for THIS ledge for a num-
Der of weeks and states that now it is
tapped. The vein is identical with the
one showing at surface and from
whose outcrop some OF the richest gold
specimens in the district have been
broken.
An unfortunate similarity in names
whereby the Manhattan Mohawk Min
ing Company and the Manhattan Mo-
hawk Mining Syndicate were confused
in the minds of the public has led the
first mentioned company to reincorpor-
ate under the name of the Manhattan
Pine Nut Extension Mining Company.
For some weeks development of the
latter company's ground has proceeded
under very encouraging mineral con-
ditions and it seems very probable that
the ledge system crossing the acreage
will make good at depth.
Four feet of ore that assays from
$1,000 to $1,000 in gold the ton was
opened up few days ago on the prop
erty of the Manhattan Consolidated
Extension Company. The average
break" of the deposit is $3.50 in gold

District Likely to BE Active With the
Opening of New Year
Howard Ish, who went to Wonder a
few weeks ago with commission from
Marvin Ish for anything good which he
might find, has bought the Jim claim,
adjoining the Spider and Wasp, and
has opened up vein of $3.50 ore close
to the surface. That is the word
brought down from camp by John Nc
Dewitt, who, with his brother George,
owns a number of choice locations
there. Howard found the ore while
prospecting the ground before the pur-
chase was made, but kept the infor-
nation until the deed was turned over
to him. Then he commenced to dig

DuRUM HAS COVE TO STAY

Durum wheat has come to the front
as one of the future great crops for
senlf-arfd lands. 1t is estimated that
the crop for 1906 viii approximate
$4,000. 900 bushels. The future is so
brilliant that company of experienced
farmers has purchased a tract of co.
600 acres ia Texas and Will plant the
entire area to durum wheat The De-
partment of Agriculture has found a
market for all the durum wheat our
country can produce. 1t goes to Eu-
rope for the manufacture of macaroni
and for nour 10 make different food
products The dealers in all sections
are anxious TO get the grain TO handle.
II brings good returns to the farmer
and supplies a new shipping product
for the buyer. Every district where
dry farming can be practiced offers a
field for the production of durum. It
makes possible the cultivation Of acre
age once regarded as worthless. Here
is another of the many opportunities
for farming today.-Seattle Post-In-

COMSTOCkP PRAISED
BY CORTELYOU

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou made the following
statement today:
Reports that have been published
that Inspector Anthony Comstock' s
commission had been cancelled and that
he was compelled to sever his connec-
ton with the Postoffice Department are
entirely without foundation. Inspec-
tor Comstock. has been recommissioned
for the year 1907 and he has been for
every year since 1873.
There may have been a few cases in
which Comstock's methods have been
open to criticism, but any man who
wages war upon impurity and obscen-
ity cannot hope to avoid criticism He
has stood as a barrier between the
youth of the land and frightfully de-
moralizing traffic, and / want him to
know that, looking at his work in it's
larger aspect, he has had and will con-
tinue to have the hearty support of
this department"

STRIKE NEW LEDGE
Of RICH ORE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 29.-The shaft of
the Jumbo Extension Leasing Com
pany, which is operating a lease on
the Palo Verde claim in the Jumbo
Extension territory, has dropped into
a ledge Of ore which is identical with
the Mohawk and Jumbo sulphides and
which is of shipping grade.
I'VE cut the ledge at a depth Of 155
feet" said William B. Nichols, man
ager of the company. 'Tt dipped into
the shaft, but is standing so nearly
straight that we have but about two
feet in the shaft, although we have
passed through ten feet of it.''
Nichols said that some of the as
says returned were very high, and
that the entire ore body, which is
the full length of the shaft-eight
feet-is of shipping grade. The fis-
sure was cut on the hanging wall
side, and when the foot is reached
it is expected that the values will be
still better, as the best ore generally
lies on the wall A station is being
cut at the 165-foot mark, and when
1t is completed the vein will be cut
to the opposite wall

WOMEN WAGE FARMERS

According to Census Bureau report
issued today, women wage earners are
increasing steadily and are engaged in
GIG of 339 industries. The greatest in
crease is shown for the manufacture
of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. New
York State leads in the employment
of women, with garment making most
prominent.
The American factory women, includ-
ing girls more than 16, earned in 1905
the sum of $317, ,279.00s. or a per capita
of almost $29S. against an average an
nua1 wage for men 16 years or older
of about 1894, though the limitations
of this census prevent fixing these
wage means as accurate. Pennsylvania
ranks first and Massachusetts second in
the number of children employed

THIRD STOCK MART
FOR NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Dec. pa third stock
market in New York City may be the
outcome of a movement on foot among
Produce Exchange members which. the
Times says. is tofcome before the board
Of managers on Monday.
The project contemplates the organi-
Eation of new branch of the exchange
for dealing in securities. AS far as
the plans have gone this branch of the
Produce Exchange will differ from the
Consolidated Exchange in that 1T will
trade in stocks, and will differ from
the curb market in having an official
list of securities to which no stocks
will be admitted until after careful
investigation by the proper authorities.
There are q large number of stocks
OF well-known industrial corporations,
chief among them the Standard Oil,
which are not listed on the Stock Ex-
change and which are traded in only
on the curb market. This market has
grown to large proportions.

FAULTLEss CLOCK PENDULUM

A clock pendulum made from invar
needs no compensation, since its length
is unaffected by variations of tempera-
ture. 1t is found that a rod of invar
very slowly increases in length when
kept at constant temperature. This
change extends over many years, but
is not Of sufficiently large magnitude
to form a drawback to the use of invar
in ordinary Instruments of precision,
although it renders this substance un-
suitable for the construction of ultf-
mate standards of length. Invas is
destined to play an important part in
ordinary geodetical measurements. Here
the small progressive expansion men
toned above is of little consequence
since the standards of length can be
periodically compared with an ultimate
Standard on the other hand, the in
crease in accuracy is very marked.-St.
Louis Post Dispatch.

THE MIssING NoTE

One of the leading tenors in Moscow
was called upon to sing an opera in
which one note was much too high for
him, but he got man in the orchestra
to come in just at the right time and
supply the note. In exchange the
tenor was to take him to supper The
plan answered well, the applause was
loud, but the tenor forgot all about the
supper. Next time he sang the opera
he went to the front OF the stage, put
his hand on his heart and opened his
mouth as wide as he could His dis
comfiture was great when the expect
ant hush was broken by a voice from
the orchestra saying: Where's my
supper?"-Iskra.
