Mailing Flowers.

1t is a mistake to use cardboard
boxes iii packing flowers to be sent
by mail. Always use tin box, lining
it with a sheet of damp moss and
above this a sheet of florists paper, or
tissue paper if the other is not at
hand. taking care that it fits into the
corners and around the sides. The
flowers should be placed in, row after
row. until there is a layer of flowers
fitting one into the other all over the
bottom of the box. Never crowd nor
put one layer on the top of another.
The rows must be as close together as
possible; the flower heads of each row
should be on the stems of the row inn
mediately preceding it. SO that when
the box is finished only flowers are TO
be seen and no stems.

face was quite >lorless, long and thin,

garment looked well apon her, falling to
the graceful curves of her figure, and
throwing into relief the long white arms
and pretty nude feet: it seemed TO me
that a dress of modern cut would have
been less in character with her unnat-
urai beauty, and have pronounced her still
more pathetically not of our world. We
stood looking at each other in silent
amazement. for pity choked me-
Presently she lifted her hand slowly
and touched my moustache: then walking

the rise and dip of a gull on the wing,
she looked at my head. and finding that
my hair was cut short, she clapped her

Rest for the Mind.

There are various ways of resting the
mind According to a certain physi-
clan, the most effective position to
sleep, for obtaining intellectual rest. is
to keep the head low and the feet
slightly elevated.
Failing all this, the body should at
any rate be horizontal. so as to irri-
gate the brain well. The habit Of sleep
ing with the head low and the feet high
is also said to be remedy for brain
troubles and certain internal maladies.
This wise son of Aesculapius advises
sufferers to go in for his discovery grad
ually, which would seem but reasonable
to such decorous persons as have en-
deavored to keep their feet down In

be initiated into the more mature life
are placed in cages and kept there for
four or five years, according to Alfred

who has been lecturing In Boston.
They are not allowed to touch their
feet to the ground or let the sun shine
on them, and after the initiation is
over they are allowed to marry. The
females are taken more care of than
the males, and the girls do the pro

Senator Hale of Maine made the
declaration that two-thirds Of the rev.
enues of the government are now de-
voted to the payment of inheritances
from past wars and expenditures for
future wars. He called attention to
the arguments of the army promoters
that it was no use to have IN army
unless you have guns and Notifications,
and now that $100,000000 had been
appropriated for sea coast fortitiea-
tons, the argument was, what Is the
use of having guns and Notifications
unless you have men?' Thus, he said,
it was the constant pressure of the
army to aggrandize itself first for men,
then for guns and then guns and then
men. On account of this vast expense,
Senator Hale said it was impossible to
get appropriations for the marine, for
river and harbor Improvements and for
public buildings.

abolition of railway speed subsidies,
additional subsidies to South American

office, that of deputy postmaster gen
eral, with permanent tenure, who
would act as a sort of business man
ager for the entire service, besides GER
tain reforms in salaries and accounts.
The Postmaster General takes the high
ground that postmasters should not be
appointed as rewards for political ac-
tivity As to the deficit, he says he is
less concerned about that than about
efficiency of administration and thinks
it unreasonable to charge any one
branch of the service with responsible

RICH C0EUR D'ALENE MINES
Henry Bush Gives His Impressions of
North Idaho Country-Cheap
Mining Is Feature
Special to The Herald.

| Special to The Herald
SPOKANE, Wash, March 14.-The
uncovering of the fabulous wealth of
the Coeur dAlene mining district has
but begun, according to a statement
made by Henry Bush of Butte to the
Missoulian, who recently returned from
an inspection trip through this famous
district. Speaking of the exceptional
outlook of the district Mr.. Bush, has
been quoted as saying:
Little, wonder that the inevitable
has happened, and the worlds mining
community has received a severe but
an appreciative shock in knowing that
irrespective of Montana, and Butte in
particular, there exists a wide and ex-
tensive district known as the Coeur
d'Alenes, which is attracting attention
to such an extent that the sweeping
power of its future prosperity may be
accredited with upsetting the ideas and
changing the capital investment Of
many millions of dollars and Giverting
1t from the famous Butte mines, 50
well known, and now in favor through
out the known universe.
THE qualified mines of the whole of
the Occur d 'Alenes, comprising, as they
do, big percentages in copper hereto
fore unsuspected by the outside world.
and yet richer than the general run Of
verse, in addition to the richness of
its lead, silver and zinc, must tell. AL
though no fear of competition has ever
struck the great Butte as copper
producer, yet here it lies.
Exploitation makes the necessity
for Butte operators to extend their
operations and acquire properties
throughout the district. Wallace will
in the near future hold the position of
being one of the most wideawake and
progressive cities in the west, with a
great future before it. Investigation
shows that the uncovering of the Coeur
d 'Alenes has but begun, and a wave of
prosperity will sweep the district, car
rying with 1t hundreds of millions Of
outside capital furnished to open up
the vast vaults of treasure so much in
evidence and so accessible to the in
vestor who applies his funds to the
winning of greater wealth by extrac-
| ton, at moderate cost, of all these
materials necessary to the worlds en-
| hancement.
Here in the Coeur d'Alenes lies the
secret of success. You have here cheap
mining facilities, made by natures own
hand, and ground as solid as the devils
home, values in excess of most mining
camps and costing less than half to
produce the ore, and, again, a lower
percentage for treating it,
"The general outlook for mining is
exceptional the vast bodies being
opened up in every direction, and the
| assurance of future now unqueStioned
must be encouraging to all concerned"
