The biggest scales in the country
are in the navy yard at Wash.LstOu.
They outweigh the largest railway
scales by fifty tons. The latter are
not to be sneezed at, for they easily
weigh as much as a heavily loaded
car. The navy yard scales are SO ac-
curate that they come within a pound
of the exact weight. Railway scales
are considered good If they come
within fifty pounds. All the large
ordnance manufactured for the navy
is weighed upon this machine. winch
is some ten years old. The scales
look like ordinary hay scales.
The delicate mechanism is invis-
ible, the most Intricate parts being
in broad pit below the ground. Tne
platform is forty eight feet long aud
twelve feet wide. Beneath the pow
erful machinery is a cement base
laid upon long piles. A solid base
being one OF the prime requisites of
a powerful weighing machine. ii was
found necessary to use a pile driver
to secure stable foundation.
The machine is regarded as the
finest OF its kind IN the world. and ID
a splendid achievement OF American.
ingenuity. In order to show the ac-
curacy OF the scales. an official pick
ed up half brick and tossed it upon
the platform. He then consulted
long brass lever, and found that the
brick weighed just one pound.
The capacity Of the scales is one
hundred and fifty tons. Two twelve
inca guns lying on a forty eightfoot
truck car can be weighed in the ma
chine without taxing its capaity.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

In cooking potatoes 1t is useful to
recollet that. after the water has
been strained off, the pot shouli
have three or four sharp jerks, to
toss the potatoes up and down and
backward and forward.
This has the effect Of making them
white and mealy.
Tea leaves are Invaluable as a
means of cleaning vanished paint.
When enough have been laid aside
for the work, they should be put in
to basin Of water and left to steep
for half an hour.
The strained tea Is used instead
Of water to clean vanished surfaces.
The tannic acid left In tea leaves,
after all that is wholesome in them
has been extracted, acts quickly up
on CRIME and grease.
Put few drops of ammonia into
the water in which you mean to
wash flower vases, especially If they
are of the long-necked, spindllng
kind.
1t Is impossible to get your hand
down to the bottom. After rinslng
all the dirt the ammonia will bring
up, put In chopped potato parings as
you would in washing out glass bot
ties, and leave the parings in over
night
They will loosen the dirt effect
ually. Next day rinse with more
ammonia water.
1t Is untidy to leave the sediment
IL the vase and it will tend % rot
the stems of the next flowers placed
in 1t, thing of which few house
wives think.

The report Of the party who went
frcIn this country to study the mill
tary system of Switzerland will
doubtless be unanimous on one
po.nt-that we have much to learn
from the little republic. From the
age OF ten all boys &c through a cam
pulsory physical and gymnastic
course until they are sixteen. and
after this age for years they have
to take up rife shooting in addition
to gymnast,c training. Every Swiss
from his twentieth to his forty
fourth year is liable to military train
ing. Very useful work is accom-
plished in Switzerland by rifle clubs,
which are encouraged by the State
for the purpose of improving marks
manship. The population Is under
three and a half millions, yet there
are $500 such associations, with
over 100000 members. On this bas-
Is we should have over $500. 600
members of rifle clubs instead of
only 10000.

Curious Ants,

The large ants in Lapland are
three times as large as our common
ant. Their nests are hillocks or fire
sprigs and rubbish. often four feet
high, the inside a mass of eggs and
ants. Well beaten roads divergs
out.
Ont day naturalists was jumping
over brook and brushed with his
head and shoulders two willow
branches which met over the water.
In an instant he was covered with
ants, which were making their way
across the bridge which he had dis
urbed. There is a species Of large
ant, which has mandilbes that can
bite through almost anything. One
of the peculiarities of this ant is
that when 1t catches hold of any
thing with these jaws 1t cannot be
made to let go. Even If the rest of
the body is pulled off, the jaws will
keep their hold.
Ants know their friends after they
have been separated from them for
q long time. An Englishman took
half the ants from a nest, and after
six weeks marked one and put into
It's old home with a stranger. The
ants in the nest few at the stranger,
but took no notice OF their Old
friend, He did the same thing once
a week for a month, and every time
the stranger was killed or driven
from them In every direction, like
the lines of a railway, These ants
cross the little streams and brooks
by means Of natural bridges.

The "Dressing Up" Fad.

When IA boy turns his bulging pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety of articles he has slowed
away. Odd lengths of string, marbles,
a horse-chestnut, a top, brass nails,
hlckory-nuts, an apple, and many
more articles are garnered by this
snapper up of unconsdered trifles."
We think the collection must be hard
on boys pocket. And it is. But do
we ever think of the variety and mis-
cellany of the substances we put into
the pocket of our stomach? There's
the apple and the nuts, and things be-
sides quite as indigestible as brass nails
and with no more food value than SO
many marbles. And yet we wonder
that the stomach gives out.n When
the stomach breaks down under the
strain of careless eating and irregular
meals it can be perfectly and perma-
nently restored to health and strength
by the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The action of this
medicine on the stomach and other Or
gans of digestion and nutrition is SO
marked, that relief from disease is at
once experienced, and the headaches,
liver "troubles,o kidney disorders, skin
eruptions and other symptoms of dis
eased stomach are quickly cured. DIR.
Pierce's medicines are purely vegetable
no alcohol or habit-formiug drugs
enter into their composition.

FIRE LAST NIGHT
Half Dozen Little Shacks Occupied
by Italians Burned TO

There was quite big fire in pa
go" town last night shortly before
seven o'clock.
Across the railroad tracks, back OF
the round house is located settle
ment of Italians and this settlement
long ago was given the nickname,
''Dago town" A lot of little shacks
and cottages are punched up in that
section nearly every one of which is
occupied by a large family of Ital-
ians. Last night it seems that a
Iamp was overturned on a small oil
stove, in one of the little houses and
in a moments time the little build
ing was wrapped in flames The hre
department was notified, but owing
IN the long run necessary it did not
reach the scene of the fire until the
flames had spread to several adjourn
ing cabins. 1t would have been i'm
nossible to get water to the fire with
ont LAYING over 200 feet of hose, or
clear from a plug on Fifth street.
Chemicals were used but without
much effect, however the department
succeeded in keeping the flames from
wiping out the whole settlement.
Six of the little cabins were totally
destroyed.
The household effects were saved
from a few of the cabins but one or
two we're destroyed with all their
contente.
Some of the families fought he
roicaily to save their homes. The loss
will work many a hardship on some
of the poor families.
The fire created much excitement
and quite a large crowd gathered.

SENATOR DeLONG
THROWS THE LIE

Denver, March 2O.-(SpeciaD-
IF any man affirms that am a party
to or have any connection with, or
know anything about deal whereby
the bill providing three normal
schools is to be passed but that only
the bill establishing the school at
Grand Junction is to be signed by
the governor and the other two ve-
toed, he is liar" This declaration
was made yesterday afternoon on the
floor of the senate by Senator Horace
T. DeLong of Grand Junction. He
made it with intense feeling and the
word liar" rang out with sensa-
tional and emphatic earnestness. II
came as an exciting climax to II heat
ed debate. Senators and spectators
to follow but no violent denoument
occurred.
Senator Clayton, in discussing the
various bills providing these schools,
declared that he believed job to
kill two bills and make the third cf-
fective, had been put up and Senator
De La Vergne indirectly made the
same charge. Quick as IA flash De-
Long was on his feet and gave ut
terance to the above statement. 1t
was effective. No senator dared to
take up the issue with Senator De-
Long. Evidently no man could prove
that such a deal had been made and
Clayton and DE la Vergne kept quiet
1t was one of the sensational features
of the week.
Yesterday afternoon the Durango
school bill was practically killed and
it is feared now that all three of the
bills will yet be killed.
