For "a number of years there was great
waste from the cotton mills of the coun-

lating IN each plant. which We're of no

Of goods. There are now two mills in

the thick thread they spin cheap grades
Of socks and underwear are made.
Forty years ago member OF the
Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, grew
concerned over the waste from white
metals, such as silver, tin. zinc, lead,
mercury, anthony and bismuth. He
experimental with the scrap heaps of va
rious factories, and found that from
scraps Of galvanized iron he could get
good iron that sold for SO a ton, and zinc
chloride that sold for $50 a barrel and
was useful for disinfecting purposes. He
gathered the zinc from the skimmings
and sold 10 at from $l5 90 $50 ton. He
bought up all the old silver-plated pewter
in his locality and Immersed it in a nitric
acid bath to get the silver, then sold the
melted pewter TO typesetters and stereO-
typers. He gathered the skmmings from
the solder pots for the Standard Oil Com
pany and used it again. saving that cor
poration many thousands Of dollars yearly.

with a solvent, are melted and nodded

from bear and badger skins are saved by
furriers for the long hairs that are made
into paint brushes. The jewel-like lining
of mother-of-pearl shells is shaved off
when buttons are made, and made into
fine dust, that has a market among
makers of novelties and souvenirs. The

Some statistician. with an aptitude for

wasted in the United States every year
would pay over half The interest on the
national debt However, like John Gil

Miss Guinan was returning home from
the factory where she has worked for
eighteen years. She supports an aged
mother and a little niece and nephew.
When On that eventful evening she
: saw old Mr.. RunyOn waiting between
the railroad tracks as a westbOund
train flew past him and an eastbound
ono rushed UP from the other direc
ton, her habit of meeting emergencies
coolly and quickly stood her in good
stead. She saw that space of about
three feet would remain between the
two trains, and. knowing that she could
not drag the feeble old man elsewhere,
she darted to his side and held him
there firmly as the two trains whirled
past. Very few persons would have
! had the alertness to see and take adj
| vantage Of the only chance, and that
! a perilous one, of saving Mr.. Runyons
| life. It Is also we'll to add that In

very few would have had the courage.

From all accounts silk manufacture

has it that the Emperor Fob Ii taught
his people the art Of cultfvating the
silkworm as early as 5000 B. c. Spain

ors introducing them about the tenth
century. probably from their home on

Of the silk industry in France dates

In both instances perfect good faith
may be proven. The one is satisfied
with a poor house for his home and
the other is not. But the man who
builds a good substantial log or other
kind of a house and keeps his fami-
" in it, strengthens and strongly
appeals to the judgment and discre-
ton of the land office authorities
when the question of Improvement OF
the land is considered. The man with
makeshift building must make a
good showing when the cultivation
of the land is considered.
Absence from his claim Of man
who has built good house and who
has shown by his work definite in
tent to improve the land for the pur-
poses of cultivation is viewed with
more favor than in the case Of a man
whose buildings are poor and whose
work on the land is manifestedly
prefunctory. The law considers the
necessities of the poor man. He
must live until his land becomes pro-
ductive, and he may have to. leave
his claim for periods to make money
to keep him and to buy necessary an
mals and implements. Good faith
rests on the circumstances all taken
together. Witnesses are inclined to
testify with a liberal sense of appre-
citation of homesteader' work and
rights. This renders it difficult in
many instances to base the exercise
of discretion on the testimony of
homesteaders' witnesses alone.
THE general result was that
many abuses were practiced, especial
| ly under the provisions of the COM
mutation privilege. But the practice
| has stiffened. If man wants to
commute his claim he would better
be sure that he has strictly complied
with the law And in all cases he
will discover that the government is
more than ever determined to scru-
tinize exactly the character of the
claimed compliance with the law
'The practice now is to seek not
only detailed evidence of residence on
and Improvement of the land, but
also affirmative evidence of the in
tention of the homesteader when he
filed on the land and if he has been
all over his claim to learn it's char
acter with respect to probable pro-
ductiveness The claimants knowl-
edge of the land must be pretty COM
plete if he is able to furnish all the
information asked of him. Evidence
of his intentions is secured by ask
ing questions as to his occupation
his wages, where he has been and is
employed, whether or not he borrow
ed money to aid him in proving his
claim If so, where he got it, and
everything that tends to enlighter
the Judgment of the authorities In
weighing the testimony and in laying
a safe foundation for the exercise OF
discretionary power. An honest
claimant will have no trouble salts
factorily answering all these ques
tions, but if man is trying to sliT
a faulty claim through he will fine
himself in trouble in short time
Then it must be remembered that the
testimony of government inspectors
may throw a flood of light on q
doubtful case. The fact is that it Is
impossible now for a fraudulent
claim to win in the land office"

Care Than Formerly. Object is
Protection of Bona Eide Settlers,
Who Are Making Homes.

Receiver Frank Twitchell of the
says that the enforcement of the pro-
visions of the land laws in respect
to proofs is much more ci~cumSpect
than formerly. 1t is not SO easy fer
persons wishing to use their home
stead or other rights under the law
merely to gain title to the land to
accomplish their purpose.
'In the Interpretation Of the land
laws" said Mr.. Twichell, "a great
deal has been left to the judgment
and discretion of the officers of the
land office. This is as true now as
at any time heretofore. But in the
exercise of their judgment and dis
erection the true intent and spirit of
the law is kept in view probably
much more distinctly than it ever
has been in the history of the land
office The tendency is in the direc-
tion of requiring the homesteader to
be a homesteader in the genuine
sense and not the mere occupant of
the land according to the require
ments of the law.
at has always seemed a compare

who wanted to secure title to lG0
acres of government land to &C
through the notions SO to speak
and after fourteen months commute
by paying $1.25 an acre for it, or tc
barely keep inside the limitations OF
the law as to residence and improve
ments for five years and then &C
through the forms of proving up and
get a patent from the government.
1.-The result in such cases is that
after securing title the homesteadel
left the land and stopped making
improvements. He then either solo
the land after time or held it fOl
Of others, who filed on their claims
in absolute good faith and made then
their homes. 1t is not difficult tC
understand that in such cases the
true spirit and intent of the law wa.
evaded, and in way that was hare
to defeat.
THE original contemplation Of the
government was, and now is, tha'
unproductive land would be made
productive and thus add to the
wealth and resources of the country
and that persons of no means or onl.
small means would be aided in secur
ing homes for themselves and theil
families of kind that would fur
nish support for themselves and con
tribute to the solid development O.
the country. But this was defeated
by men who were really only specu
lators on a small scale in individual
instances, but when the larger view
was taken of this abuse it meant il
the aggregate thousands of acre!
scattered nearly all over the West.
Formerly the improvements were
of the flimsiest and most perfume
tory character. One man will want
substantial log house. Another
man will be satisfied with a shake
