Of heavy tonnage Of ore. The shaft
vas a little over 200 feet deep and
the raise was carried up for over 800
feet, and there is row excellent ven
tiIatio. through all Df the mine work

extremely high grade ore was opened
up, such as was found in the
property IN the early days, when
it was known as the Blazing Star.
The Blazing star was one OF the ear.i-
est patented claims in that section Of
the district and had quite a reputation
as a producer in the late SOS The Al.
MAIDEN Mines company. which OWLS
and operates the property IS a semi
close corporation. whose stock has
nearly all been sold at par value. The
exploratory development work has
been carried on continuously for the
past couple Of yeas and the mines are
now in shape to yield handsome
revenue to its owners. Besides the
high grade ore there Is a large quantity
OF lower grade material which can be
shipped at good profit direct to the
smelters or to concentration works.

strons Ore Being Mile d.

Beginning the first Of this week, all
OF the material taken out in driving the
lateral west from the Central tunnel IN
the Strong VEN has been shipped di-
rect to the Hudson mill. The vein
where it was intersected by the tunnel
was % feeJ vide. but as no cross cut
ting has been done in the lateral. its
width several hundred feet to the west
is not known. The heading Of the lat
aral at this time is nearly 800 feet vest
Of the tunnel line, and the entire face
of the drift width of between four
and FIVE feet is being taken 10 the mill
just as It Is extracted. Repeated sam
pings have shown the creyicc matter
to carry from s., 20 to $l2 per ton,
nearly all in gold values, and all Of
which will pay with a reasonably close
saving at the mill.
No extra expense is entailed in hand

The Ocean Liner stswards.s.

1t appears that some stewardesses
on the best liners running between
Liverpool and New York make from
EGO to ESQ per month. The average tip
varies from 10 shillings to the modest
half crown, although occasionally five
pound notes change hands. 1T is quite
true" says a stewardess IN a London
paper, that ladies are not nearly so
generous as gentlemen. l worked like
a slave one trip, night and day, wait
ing upon an exacting millionaire's wife
and children, but they left the ship
without giving me even Thank you
1 know one stewardess, though, who
received f25 as a tip from one Of the
Vanderbilts, who had his servant
standing by him with satchel of SOW
ereigns, from which all the stewards
and other attendants received some
thing. The most generous people are
military and civil officers homeward
bound from India. Sometimes a rich
gentleman passenger falls In love with
a stewardess and marries her. But
fortunes from tips are rarely made, al
though a comfortable competency is
frequently secured in this way"

Ointment, and has found it thor
oughly reliable as is always the
case. Speaking of his experience
with this remedy, he says Il
learned the virtues of Doan's Oint-
ment by using it for eczema, and
itching hemorrhoids, from which l
had been a sufferer for many years.
1t was a constant torment, day and
night, and l could find no relief. 1t
is impossible for me to describe my
sufferings. l tried all kinds of
ointments and salves, but nothing
had any appreciate effect until
got Doan's Ointment and began
using it. 1t was more as an expert

OLD SOUTH EDUCATION.

more for Augusta

Women of the South's old day who
had the good fortune to be educated
We're, of course, not trained to ora
tory in mixed assemblages, to I'M
solicited activity in the concerns of
their neighbors, or to making spec
tacles of themselves in legislative
galleries, committee rooms or lob
bies. They looked naturally to their
fathers, their husbands, their bro
theirs or their sons to deal for them
in matters beyond the province of
the home, where they were the pre-
siding and effective elements and,
where without the blare of trumpets
or the blasting of tom-toms they
modestly and quietly performed their
arduOus tasks requiring the highest
kind of practical common-sense. That
their task was done well is proved
by the presence in the South in 1860
of hundreds of thousands of negroes,
many of them hardly removed a gem
Grafton from the naked savagery of
the jungle, become clean, decent,
Christian and efficient individuals The
results of the education of the ne
groes in the South before the war,
the thousands of negroes privileged
above all others of their race any
where, demonstrated in many ways
when contrasted with the results of
thei rtraining in this new day." with
its characterization of education, .
its trust that the South is rising out
of Saxonism into humanity" and
other such stuff of it's unofficial
statesmen" are the finest and most
eloquent sort of indications of the
practical and high education of the
women of the old South in enthu-
siasm for service as well as culture.
and in efficiency rather than in "ac-
complishments."

Why Safety Matches Strike on Glass.


There are two reasons why ordinary
safety matches can be struck on smooth
glass. The head of the safety match
is composed of a mixture of sulphide
Of antimony, chlorate of potassium and
powdered glass. A comparatively
small increase of temperature will
cause this to ignite. Now, glass is a
bad conductor of heat, and the rapid
passage of the substance over it raises
the temperature of that substance suffl-
GENTLY for that purpose. When the
glass is rough the friction crumbles
away the loosely combined mixture
before the temperature rises to the
point of ignition; hence, given the COM
position of the match head the two
circumstances which answer the ques.
ton are the comparative smoothness
of the glass and its imperfect conduc-
tivity of heat

PIaxthinas of Ancient Children,


The most primitive toy is the doll.
1t dates back to prehistoric times and
is found in every part of the world.
This one would naturally expect to
find. A child, seeing its mother nurs-
ing other younger children, would imi-
tate the example with an improvised
doll. Toy weapons, again, are older
than history. Many Of the other toys
at present in use date from the earli-
est times Of which we have any rec
ord. In the tombs Of the ancient Egyp-
tians, along with painted dolls having
movable limbs, have been found mar
bles, leather covered balls, elastic balls
and marionettes moved by strings
Ancient Greek tombs furnish clay
dolls, toy horses and wooden carts
and ships. In the Louvre there are
some Greco-Roman dolls Of terra Gotta
with movable joints fastened by wires.
Greek babies had rattles. Greek boys
played with whipping tops. So did the
boys in ancient Rome
