had ruled the Grccnough household
for more than twenty years was
known to the tradesmen and the
world in general as Mrs. Washing

noighs and their friends to address
her us "Aunt Euphrasia."
She had flow of language which
has seldom been equaled, and de-
lighted in il more even than in her
skill in cooking. On one occasion
Mrs. Greenough overheard Aunt
Euphrasia berating tardy grocer's

the HUMAN EAR.
Its Range Of Hearing and Some Sounds

A careful observer writes: "ihe

posed to be some nine octaves--two
octaves more than the ordinary par

essary to watch a cat out on the

convinced that it hears many things
that we do not, and numbers OF in
sects we know make noises which
are far outside the compass of the
human ear. We can see certain in
sects possessed Of certain stridulat-
ing organs going through certain
motions. and we hear the sound
which they produce. We can also
observe Il G effect which that sound
has on Others of the same kind of
insect that are within earshot.
Then there are smaller insects al
lied to them gencrically, with the
same organs. which we can see going
through the same motions. Again,
we see precisely the same effect on
other insects of the same kind that
happen to be near. But no human
being has ever heard the noise they
make nor probably could any micro
phone make it audible-at all events
experiments have failed. The air
around us must be full of noises

a pair of pet pigeons from his aunt.

sauce and may be used for the same
purpose as oyster sauce. Care must
be exercised in the choice of the
snails for food purposes, as it is wei

A WHITE CARGO.
Il Looked Like Snow In the VssssPs
Hold, but II Was Not.

Looking down over the high
hatchway combing into the after
hold of steamer discharging at an
East river wharf, waterside stroll
Ter saw in the hold below what
seemed to be a cargo of snow-an
odd cargo for vessel to bring.
They had already got out the
bulk of it from Immediately under
the hatchway and almost down to
the vessels floor, but all around
still arose white banks Of it reaching
up almost to the vessels decks. And
half way up one of these steep snow
banks n man was at work with q
pick, dislodging masses of it to fall
to the open space at the center,
where stood men with scoop shovels,
piling this snow into great iron tip
buckets, which as fast as they were
filled were hoisted up to be dumped
into a shoot running down ever the
steamers side, this shoot emptying
into carts on the wharf.
From the steamers forward
hatch, at the same time and in like
manner, they were discharging from
the same snowy cargo, customs
officer at each point noting the
weights of it as the stuff was hoisted
out.
II was salt, the snowy white cargo
with which from stem to stern this
steamer was loaded; cargo of $500
tons of salt, brought from a place in
Sicily where they make salt by the
evaporation of sea water from arti-
licially made ponds of about twenty
inches in depth.
TO one whose ideas of salt were
confined to the triiling quantities of
it that he saw in shakers and salt
cellars on the table this cargo of
thousands of tons seemed like lot
Of salt; really like something curl
ous and interesting and remarkable.
As matter of fact, in the various
uses to which il is put salt is used
in enormous quantities, and to those
acquainted with salt and salt trade
salt in full cargocs, large and small,
is something quite familiar.-New

the general was so impressed by his

name on that list, which was after

less wonderful than those OF y.gor-

yet audacious tendrils reaching out
in blindness for something TO catch
hold of, The new vine may grow
five, seven, Ven feet, without support,
and the tendrils may grope for
weeks in search of something to tie
TO, but their cropping invariably sue
ceeds. They hitch on al last and
their grip is tenacity itself, No SOON

times around the newly discovered
support than they lose all their ten

At TINE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The Agricultural College at Fort Col
lins has completed arrangements Tor
the second annual short course for the
stock men and farmers in Colorado.
The course opens January 1b and con-
tinues until the 9th. The great inter-
est manifested and the large attend
ance at this course last year was q
surprise to all parties concerned and
the outlook is particularly bright for an
even larger attendance this year.
Some Of the brightest men in the live
stock business in the United States
have been engaged for lectures and
demonstrations during the course and
every minute of the time spent at Fort
Collins during these two weeks will be
interesting and instructive.

agriculture. Others claim that
the present emblem is right min
ing. They maintain that mining
has made this State great and
will make it greater. Maybe so.
But few of these miners would
open their eyes if they took a
trip over to the Western Slope
and saw and learned what was
going on in beets, fruit, etc.
Perhaps it is alright to keep the
seal as it is, but the fact must
not be overlooked that the agri-
culture is going to make Colorado
greater and bring more people
into her confines than mining
ever did or ever will. And peo-
pie are what count.

ENGINE TO BE USED
Contract on Hauling Ore
50 Provides.

Negotiations are in progress between
Allen and Bendix Of Hotchkiss and H.
H. Wolbert Of this city. whereby the
Hotchkiss men may take the sub-con-
tract to move and load the iron ore now
being mined at Peach Valley. The
closing Of the contract depends only on
the ability Of Allen and Bendix to pre-
pare for the work, which contemplates
Q heavy tonnage. Traction engine
power is expected to be used but It will
take about go days to get the same in
and in operation. It is understood that
= strong effort was made to get the
hauling done by teams, but owing to
the low value Of the ore, the price
which could be paid for the haul was
not thought sufficient by teamsters. al
though the price offered was as much
as is being paid in other localities for
the same work.
