Nothing Doing in the Mines.

The mines have teen closed down
four weeks to-day and there is as yet
no chance for settlement of the
wage question. The mine superin-
tendents are taking things easy and
say they have nothing to offer except
the old scale of wages. This the
miners refuse to accept, so that the
whole situation may be summed up in
the phrase, Nothing doing"
During the past week about $50 OF
the miners have left town, many
going to Vallecito. Goldheld ard
wherever they could find employment,
out many are still here, just waiting
for something to turn up. In the
meantime, what had promised to be a
busy year will no doubt prove very
dull one, as outside capital will fight
shy of this town as place for invest
ment. t.-Angels Record.

16 oandle-power, with a glass OF
intense blue, is the source of the light
in practice. The lamp is placed five

patient, screen of blue cloth being

iDsensibility without sleep results in
two or three minutes. The condition
lasts only about 80 seconds. This is
sufficient time tor extracting a tooth,
but careful watching for the critical
moment is required, with prompt
ness of action. There is no danger.
CavaIie has tried the method In about
40 cases, with very few failures, and
Bernard has been successful in IS per
cent of his reported cases. All
failures have been attributed to the
patients lack of the necessary con-
fidence or Insufficient fixing of the
attention on the light.
In preserving process that has
come into use in England and is now
being introduced into France. fruits
are immersed for ten minutes in cold

cherries, plums, etc., are then dipped
five minutes in pure water, but hard
pulped fruit which are pared before
eating, like apples and pears, are
placed on screens to dry without this

unique in the annals of medicine. So
pronounced is the relief and cure fol-
lowing the use IF this treatment that 1t
has been publicly recommended by
leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every state and town in the
country, with the result that last years
sales were larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete, and that it cures by
breathing medicated air and not takiLn
drugs into the stomach, no doubt has
helped to create this widespread and
rapidly increasing army Of friends.
The way in which it has been sold
by Bowditch, Webster & Co, has
undoubtedly aided greatly its introduce
ton in Augusta. They are such firm
believers in the power Of Hyomei to
cure all catarrhal troubles, that they
urge people to use it with the UNDER
standing that the cost will be refunded
to anyone who is not benefited by the
treatment You do not risk cent in
testing the healing virtues of Hyomei,
for Bowditch, Webster & Co. take all
the risk Of its giving satisfaction and

If you have catarrh, give Hyomei a
trial and you, too, Will become it's
friend and recommend it to others.

THE WEST POINT CHAIN.

It Was Nearly Mile In Length and
Weighed Almost 200 Tons.
From an ironmaker's point Of view
the greatest achievement during the
Revolutionary period was the making
Of the great West Point chain. This
massive chain, which has probably
never had IN equal since the first ham.
mer struck upon the first anvil, was
stretched across the Hudson river at
West Point to prevent the British feet
from making a second attack upon
Kingston and Albany. 1t was nearly
mile in length and weighed almost
200 tons, many single links being as
heavy as an ordinary sized man. To
complete it in six weeks sixty men
hammered day and night at seventeen
forges, and the cost CT it was placed
at 100000. "The great chain is buoy
ed up writes Dr. Tacher, "by very
large logs, pointed at the ends to less
en- their opposition to the force Of the
current The logs are placed at short
distances from each other, the chain
carried over them and made fast to
each by staples. There are also a
number Of anchors dropped at proper
distances, with cables made fast to
the chain, to give it greater stability. y
No British ship passed this iron bar.
rier. With its aid West Point became
the strongest military post in America
so strong that treachery was tried
where force of arms had failed. When
Benedict Arnold was plotting the sur
render of West Point he wrote Andre
and said, u have ordered that link
be removed from the great chain and
taken to the smith for repair" The
chain, however, remained in place till
the end Of the war, and links Of it are
still to be seen in the museums Of Al
bany, West Point, NewDurg and New
York.-Exchange
