Bomb for Mime Foreman.

A mysterious attempt was made last
Saturday night to destroy with dyna-
mite the home Of Cornelius Green, a
foreman of the Homestake mine in
Lead, and to murder Mr.. Green ard his
family. The only member Of the house
ho'd not in bed at the time the outrage
was perpetrated was Edward Green, the
only son, who was reading in the front
room. He was hurled from his chair
across the room and was picked up un-
conscious. 1t was not long before he
recovered, however, and apart from the
few bruises he is none the worse. The
boys parents, and his little sister, and
the hired girl, who we're asleep were all
thrown from their beds, but none was
seriously hurt. The explosion awaken
cd the entire population in the neigh
borhood, and in a few moments the
house was surrounded by an excited
crowd Of people.
BIoodhounds were set on the trail by
the sheriff, but fall Of snow quickly ob
liberated the tracks and the hounds soon

GERTIE's TEST PUN.

Keystone Recorder: Although refer
ences have appeared from time to time
in this and other papers, few have rea
lied the extent or importance of the
work now being carried on at the old
Gerie tin mine near Iill City. A Re
corder man visited this mine Monday
and found the little single stamp test
mill running continuously The mine
has been overhauled, retimbered where
necessary, and the old pumps replaced
by new ones. New buildings have been
erected, with ore bins and water tanks
and the appearance of the place indi-
Gates that things are doing" The mill
had been running just ten shifts and NJ
J.. Meyer, who has entire charge Of the
work, said he was more than satisfied
with the showing that had been made
The rock is proving richer in tin than
was expected. Just as soon as it is fully
determined that tin is there in satisfac-
tory quantities and that the mode of
treatment is correct, ten stamps will be
installed and the mine will become
producer for already there is enough ore
broken in the slopes to insure a lengthy
run. Not to enlarge too much upon the
fact, there is no doubt but that the snc-
cess of this test run means much to the
southern Hills. The world needs tin
today, the price in the past year has
risen from % to SO cents pound. Our
tin ores are among the richest in the
world and had it not been for the "hor
rible example of the Harney Peak
fiasco they would long ago have been
developed.

In looking over a book Of travels In
France, written more than 100 years
ago, came across an interesting bit
about the way Of catching frogs for
market. The author mentions the
fact that frogs were sold by the hun
dred I'm the markets, that they were
classed as fish and that only the bind
quarters were eaten. But to come to
the main point he says: "To catch the
frogs the fisherman puts one Of them
In a glass vessel, which he dips into a
brook, on which the creature, finding 1t
self In so strange a situation confined
In the midst Of water In a transparent
machine, or. | may say, Invisible pris
on, begins to croak most melodlously,
and by his croaklng makes multtudes
Of other frogs come to him ON every
side, as II to rescue their companion,
when the frog fisher vallantly seizes
his prey."-London Chronicle.

The discovery Of platinum was long
thought to be quite modern. In the
first half Of the sixteenth century It
was noticed that gold ore from the
Spanish mines In Darien sometimes
included grains OF a white metal which
possessed the qualities Of what are
called the noble metals, but there were
no existing records to throw light upon
the matter. AS the SpaniSrds prohlD-
tied its export, 1t was another hun
bred years before the metal began to
find its way into Europe, and 1t was
not till about 1850 that its properties
were really Investigated. In 1901 NJ
Berthelot, the famous French savant,
made an astonishing discovery In
Egypt lie was examining a metal
box, once the property OF an Egyptian
queen Of the seventh century b.. c.,
and In it he found a plate which at
flrst sight he took TO be silver but
afterward turned out TO be made or
an alloy Of gold and platinum. Doubt
less the platinum came from the aliu-
vial deposits OF the upper Nile.

A competent waiter Is not a fool by a
long shot, and no man Is so liberal at
any other moment Of his life as when
he is feeding well. a first class serving
man at table can wheedle a quarter or
half dollar out Of even a stingy blather-
sklte by some delicate attention, by
showing Just the least bit OF interest in
his especial welfare. A German lieu
tenant in hard lines Is waiting In a
swell hotel here. His tips amount to
$40 u day. He Is lncognlto for the pres
ent. University graduates could do
quite as well. The principal trouble Is
that waiting is regarded as too scrvlle,
too mental. smacklng too much Of slav-
cry. But good walters make valuable
friends and earn several times as much
money as bank clerks and shop sales
men. And the calling might be digni-
fed.-New York Press

There are four classes Of persons
who should not drink large quantities
of hot water: First, people who have
irritabillty Of the heart. Hot water
will cause palpltation Of the heart in
such cases. Second, persons with dl.
lated stomachs. Third, persons af'
flcted with sour stomSchs. Fourth,
persons who have soreness Of the stom.
ach or pain induced by light pressure
These rules are not for those who take
hot water simply to relieve thirst, but
as means Of washing out the stom-
ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water and for that pur-
pose is not to be condemned. But hot
water Is an excltant and in cases In
which irritation Of the stomach exists
should be avoided.

The man eating BattRS Of North

make use Of hollow tree trunks at
cross roads. and these primitive letter

men and women, who read and write

In vertical lines that run upward and

In agriculture and in raising stock.
They form large communities, have
an organized government hereditary
chiefs, popular assemblies and a writ

esque dwellings have been compared to
Swiss chalets. and the ground floor Is
reserved for their live stock. For their
skill in ironwork, pottery and weaving
they are probably indebted to Hindoo
teaching, and their repulslVe habit is
combined with a belief In a trlune

Bed sores are sores that form on
those parts Of the body that are under
most in the position taken up by the
bed occupant. As a rule they never
form unless the sufferer Is confined 10

used as a lotion to the healthy skin
