 We went up to the promenade after the first act and ate an ice together. The place was crowded, and Cecily soon became the center of atNaction.

At them all Cecily glanced from time to time with admirable non chalance. One would have sworn she had been reared in New York.

 As for Tremaine, I hesitate to say how utterly I fell under his spell. Yet this was not in the least to be wonder ed at.

Aged Morona County Voter

Onawa, Ia. Nov. l6.-Spec-
ial: Samuel G. Irish, of Whit
ing, who cast his ballot at the
poIl in Whiting, is probably one
jof the Oldest voters in the
county, if not in western Iowa.
Mr.. Irish has passed his 95th
birthday and cast his first vote
in 1882. He was carried to
the polls at Whiting in an auto,
his first ride i'm one, and says
transportation facilities have
greatly improved since he was
a young man, when OK teams
were in general use. Mr.. Irish
has lived in Monona county
since 1864, and enjoys fairly
good health. He lived for
some time at Bonhomme, S. D.,
in early days.

SALT METHODS,
In the Marshes Of the Ixoneo ana II
UtaIl's Great Lake.


| One Of the sights CT the Great Salt
/, take Of Utah, developed by the prog
ress of scientific industry, is the sys-
ten Of immense salt making ponds on
the shore of the lake. At Saltair the
lake water is pumped into great set
Ting basin, where the impurities fall
to the bottom and, containing much
iron, form reddish deposit. From
this basin the water Is drawn off into
harvesting ponds" averaging 10000
Equare yards in area and six inches in
depth. The ponds IRE kept supplied
with water, as the evaporation goes on
from May to September, wien the salt
harvest begins. The water having dis
appeared, dazzling layer of salt two
or three inches thick is found covering
the bottom of the ponds, which is bro
ken up with plows before being con-
veyed to the mills, where the final
crushing and winnowing are done.
In general the salt marshes of the
kongo region represent kind Of pock-
ct or rift In the soil.- They are to be
found in considerable numbers In the
OlSlFlCl vi SotlulDitll, anu lucfC are UlSO
many OF these marshea on the left
bank of the river Lufubu. The walls
Of the rift show first layer Of black
lsh clay mixed with sand and contain
ing numerous quartz and slick peb-
bles OF more exceptionally black and
white shells, fragments of oyster and
mussel. Then comes a layer of strait
fled and gray blue schist. The soil of
the depression ALSO contains schist as
the greater constituent and is covered
by Il layer Of sandy clay. In order to
collect the salt the natives dig fun
mel shaped hole from six to ten feet
deep. The cavity soon fills up with q
warm and clear water, which is
strongly charged with salt. 1t comes
up with considerable pressure, and the
liquid seems to boil. The salt is partly
prccipitated ut the bottom of the cav
lty and mixes with the soil to form a
blaclish mud. The latter is washed
out with hot water to extract the salt.
which is then clystallized from the So
luton. The product which is thus Oh
tanned is OLA salty gray color, and it's
taste is more alkaline than that Of su.

The report from San Fran
cisco that over S1,OO0,0CO OF
money sent there for the suf.
-ferers of the earthquake, has
been stolen, came as surprise
to most people. One would rot
believe people were so des-
Iperately fond of money to steal
funds sent for destitute citi-
zsns, but now that the bronze
tablet in memory of the dead in
the Slocum disaster in New
York, has been stolen, there is
nothing more to be said.
What will become of this coun-
try if things keep on as they
are? 1t would seem the de-
faulters of the relief fund
should be made to feel the
rough part of a rope, instead OF
perhaps giving them a few days
in Jail with all the comforts of
home.

end amoag the Cornish miners that

coverer His ancient church in the
parish of Perranzabuloc, in Cornwall,
laid bare of sand by the sea many
years ago, has recently been repaired.
Cornish miners still keep the feast Of
st. Piran, who, according to the fa-
bic, first found tin, forgetting that
their forefathe1s had long previously
sold it to the Phoenichns. Possibly the
legend points to the fact that this
Lrishman was skillful metallurglst.

The was the Privilege Has nee,
Abused In England.


Abused In EaElnnd.
American legislators are not the only
ones who abuse their franking rrivi-
leges. Recent history in England has
caused the London Chronicle to say:
"Franking had its birth, honestly
enough, in 1860, in the desire to relieve
members Of parliament of the expense
incurred In the discharge of their ma
tional duties, but the practice rapidly
widened until it became possible for
members to transmit their household
goods ut the public charge. as the fol-
lowing extract from old postofi;ce rec
ords testifies: Fifteen couple of bounds
going to the king of Romans with q
free pass, two maidseryants going as
laundresses to my Lord Ambassador
Methuen, DR.. Crichton, carrying With
him q COW and divers necessaries;
three suits of clothes for some noble
mans lady at the court of Portugal
two bales of stockings for The use OF
the ambassador to the crown of Portu-
gal, deal case with four fitches of
bacon for Mr.. Pennington of Rotter-
DAM
'This form Of abuse died when the
postofIice stable underwent purifica-
ton, but 1T speedily gave place to an
other variety. Members signed packets
Of letters wholesale, gave them away
to their friends and sometimes paid
their servants wages i'll franked en-
velopes. In fact, they became Il valua-
bic form of currency, subject to the art
Of The forger, who did roaring trade
In 1715 f24,00O worth Of free CORE
spondence passed through the postof-
Gee.
"F:fty years later the nation was
staggered to discover that the amount
had increased to $4,000, and strin.
gent laws were passed to mitigate the
immoral tendencies of the houses of
parliament. But all was in vain until
Sir Rowland Hill managed in 1880 to
abrogatc the privileges altogether"
