The new 3OO-ton furnace at Con- manche Mining & Smelling Co.'S. re- duction works was put into operation last week and is proving success be- yopd all expectations of it's designer, and the officials of the company. Up to the present time the new furnace has run thirty per cent. above its ca pacity with a fuel consumption no greater than the old furnace. This is attributed to its careful construction and the increased size, on the princi- pie that large fire is proportionally harder to put out than a smaller one. The new furnace was designed and in- stalled under the direction of J. ". Crowdus, until recently chief engineer for the Commanche company. Viewed from the top the furnace is an oblong opening in concrete floor into which is being constantly emp,ied large wheelbarrow loads of ore Aux and coke. The copper green flames that creep through the surface, and an oc- casional glimpse of the white hot mass below give some idea of the intense heat. Raised three or four feet above the top of the furnace is an immense hood, which tapers into tive-foot iron stack. This, after arising about 2( feet at an angle of 45 degrees takes a downward turn and disappears into the floor and from there enters the large chimney. This device saves the dust carried out of the furnace by the draught, and its mineral contents art
 saved.-Independent.

New Copper Queen Rules.

It is learned that Parker Woodman, who succeeded s. w. Clawson as su- perintendent of the Copper Queen mines in Bisbee, has been making number of changes in the rules Of that company. For number of years work has been given to youths, b to 20 years old, as tool nippers, wiping the hoisting engines, etc. An order has now been issued by him ordering the discharge of all youths less than 20 years old, which means that 4O or oo of them will be let out. Another rule is that there will be no more Sunday work, with the exception Of those whom it is absolutely necessary to keep at work. This rule is not new one, however, but was in force until a few years ago.-Tombst Prospector.

A FAMILY OF WAXWlNGs
The Industrious Tgso xsvings.

II was one day in midsummer Of last year
that some one succeeded in getting picture of
four little waxwlngs for The Tribune. They
were perched a branch of the old apple tree
in the New Jersey orchard in which they We're
born, and were just thinking Of starting out TO
seek their fortunes in the world Their clothes
Were still little ragged and disordery but all
who saw them a few weeks later say there were
then more elegant little birds than they
Being young people Of refined tastes their coats
were quiet in color, but very fine in texture. As
they liked a little ornament OF the right sort
their tails were tipped with yellow, and they
wore decorations on the tips of some Of their
wing feathers that looked Ike bits OF red seal
ing wax. One Of them who was more fond Of
dress than the others, had these red. waxlike ap-
pendages on his tail feather, too. Their crests,
which not very noticeable IN the picture
became ioftier with age and gave the Wearers
a most courty appearance.
The little waxwings lived almost entirely on
fruit last season. and they and their numerous
relatives ate 50 much of that kind OF food that
the fruit growers were not altogether pleased
about II. The WaXWingS and the fruit growers
have not all made satisfactory arrangements
about the question of fruit eating. because not
knowing each others language, II is hard for
them TO transact business together. But some
men and women have taken the trouble TO
study the ways of the waxwings most care
fully. and have decided that the fruit growers
can do nothing better than go into partnership
with them. IT IS quite true that the waXWings
nave In their day eaten a good deal Of fruit
that had been intended for the market but it
was found that there were a great many kinds

pale gray straw. The trimming makes a large
wreath about the crown, and side Is a
gray aigrette. Another use of gray occurs in a
white hat with the brim lined with gray straw
while the trimming consists Of lot Of soft gray
and white wings.
The present craze for kid trimming is going to
appear summer gowns. Several models IN
white and tinted toileS and piqueS show reverS
on boero front and sleeves of white kid. These
are generally ornamented with embroidery or
fancy buttons and buttonholes.
One of the useful items in the summer ward
robe is loose veste Of some bright colored CLOTH
lobster cardinal red, or green. made in CO.
quettish lines with short, pelerine or Japanese
sleeves. These are handsome with revers OF
white silk and trimmed with heavy, raised en-
broidery done in coarse white cotton. In some
cases these little garments have strange me-
Iange of Colors, but in this form they are less
servicea BILE as they can only be worn with a
white dress. a dashing one is in bright lobster
red with black collar and revers and an en-
broidery done in pale green and white cotton.

Of wild berries that they prefer TO the cultivated
sorts So the best thing for people TO do who
want 10 have plenty OF fruit TO eat TO sell is
TO plant few Of the wild kinds of berries that
they know the waXWings like and then they
VIII seldom touch the kinds that are more suited
TO the taste Of human beings
This may seem like a good deal of work to
those who do not know how well the little birds
pay for it in spring, when fruit is scarce and
all sorts of little creeping crawling and flying
things are plentiful. Then the waXWings cease
to be vegetarians, and as their appetites are
always excellent they swallow myriads Of small
caterpllars beetles canker worms and other
insects which would otherwise live 10 do great
injury TO the fruit crop.
The ways OF the waxwings are most interest
ing and when every learns what honest
Industrious and useful citizens they are they
should have many friends. They are noted for
their love of travel. and although they often
fly far South in winter it is more for the sake
OF a change and an abundant food supply than
because they afraid Of the cold. They often
stay In Pennsylvania and New Jersey all win
ter when winter berries happen 10 be plentiful
there
Perhaps. after their love Of travelling their
most marked characteristic il their sOciablty.
They often fly about in companies of a dozen
more in search Of food and these eXcur-
sions always exceedingly polite and even
affectiOnate to another Some one who has
had a chance to watch waxwings quietly sitting
together on branch. according to their custom
dgesting a good dinner, says that on one oc-
casion he noticed of them dart after an
insect. and when ii caught offer it to the
bird next to him on the branch. The first bird
10 whom it offered politely passed il on to
his neighbor, and it travelled back and forth
through the row for some time before one Of
them was induced TO appropriate the delicacy to
himself.

West Point IS the most beautiful spot that could

that most people, and particularly most women,
do go astray. The average woman is so lacking
in energy and originality that she can do moth

The hypnotic influence of some stronger per-

backsliding and folly than has any overplus Of
