Mining News

The Jerome News gives the fol- lowing resume of the Jerome mining district for the last week.
 While there is nothing particu- larly of int crest to report from the Jerome copper belt this week. yet the splendid showing of confidence in this great mineral district made by the eastern investor during the late panic cannot be told too often. As through the days when the copper market was shaken from pillar to post. when the great copper producers of the world either reduced their output more than fifty per cent or closed down completely, the eastern investor was pouring money into this dis trict. not only to keep up develop ment work already started. but to start development work on new prospects. It IS still coming and in increased volume. All of Jerome's local companies have an abundance of money to develop their holdings.

MORBID JEALOUSY.
4 Disease That Unless lt Is Killed,
 Will Rr n Any Life.

4 Disease That. Unless lt Is Killed,
 Will Rrn Any Life.
 When a man is afraid to remark at the breakfast table, even mildly and casually, that, from what he had heard, Cleopatra was beauti- ful woman it is fair to assume that the specter of constant jealousy dwells in that household. When d wife fears to look at the moon be- cause she may be accused of admir- ing the man in it the husband needs to be gently reminded that he is taking very rapid short cut to kill ing the love he seems to hold so sacred. Love is fed by confidence, trust, faith and serene, restful reli- ance, but morbid jealousy is a poi son of doubt, suspicion and injus- tice that dulls the love it does not deaden.
 Jealousy is a disease that can be cured only by the object, not by any one else in all the world. No matter how gentle, kind, forbearing, forgiving and forgetting the object of it may be, this in itself will not cure the attacks. The subject whose heart is thus swayed by fierce gales of jealousy must first awaken to the folly of it, the injustice of it :; must be conscious of the trail of bitterness and unhappiness it brings to both, must realize the cruel con- tinued assault on the tolerance, love, loyalty and patience of the other and when the next attack comes seek by strength of will, by force of character, by every weapon in the armory of the soul, to kill the feeling. Jealousy must be killed in the thought. In the mind, the battle-ground of the soul, must the fight of extermination be waged. In the thought must the jealousy be neutralized by faith, conquered by justice and transformed by trust full love into restful, abiding confi- dence that only absolute proof and certainty of just cause for jealousy can ever reawaken. - William G. Jordan in Delineator.

LANGUAGE EVOLUTION.
Use of the sufix "Less" In Verbs,
 Nouns and AdJectiVes.

Many will remember that some years ago there went on violent contro- versy about the word tireless. The discovery had been made that less" was a sutiix which could properly be appended only to nouns: hence the form must be discarded, and we must all take pains 10 say untiring. The duty of so doing was preached from scores of professional and newspaper pulpits No one seemed to think or care for the various other adJectiyes similarly formed and therefore liable to the similar censure which they never received. Hostility was direct ed against it alone The actual flaw which yitiated the arguments against tIreless it's censors never knew or took Into consideration This was that the tancied rule covering the creation of such words had practically long ceased to be operative whenever a new forma- ton struck the sense of the users of language as being desirable.
 Unquestionably in our earliest speech the suffix "less" when employed to form adjectives was joined only with nouns. But the general sloughing of of nominal and verbal endlngs which went on in later centuries reduced a great proportion of substantiyes and verbs in the speech to precisely the same form. In consequence the sense of any fundamental distinction be tween the two broke down in many ways-in one way in particular. There is nothing easier in our speech than to convert q verb into noun or noun Into verb. It is process which has taken place constantly in the past and Is liable to take place at any time .n the future. either at the will or the whim of the writer or speaker.-- Thomas k. Lounsbury in Harper's,

His Pretty Thanks.

It is strange how differently chil- dren sometimes express their thanks. Alec, aged three, was given a coveted toy. He took it without a word and turned away and began to wind it up. 1 took it gently back again, and, bending over, l said, "Alec, what do you say to meT' He merely stared solemnly up at me and then at the toy, as though puzzling how to get it back. "What are you going to say for that nice toy, Alec?" l repeated. "Are you pleased?"
 Aye" he nodded, still staring wistfully up at the toy.
 "Well," l insisted, determined to teach him better manners, land what are you going to say to me 2"
 l had to bend to hear the shyly uttered answer:
 'I--love-ye," he whispered as he pleadingly held out a small, fat hand.-New York Globe.

POWER OF MIND.
AlvvAyu a Valuable Asset In Prss-
 ence of Danger.

ence OF DHnker.
 Presence of mind is always an as- set. It is especially valuable in pres ence of danger such as springs from the presence of men intent upon mur- der. This was never better exempli- fed than when a gang of men set out to take the life of Mazzini. He got to hear of their project All the precau- tiOns he took was to get ready store of very excellent cigars. The ruffians presently appeared at his address. Come in, gentlemen" he said and produced his cigars To each man he handed one. Taken aback at their reception, they seemed abashed and confused "I know that you came to kill me-" he said Why do you not proceed to your taskT' This was too much for even this bloodthirsty depu- tation. They could not kill the man whose cigars they were smoking and who invited them to carry out their task. Muttering some excuse for hay ing interrupted his studies, they shut fed out of the room and troubled him no more.
 Each man has his own method with would be assasslns. With Napoleon 1t was the eye which counted. While he was visiting the Duke of Saxe-Co burg Gotha one of the dukes retainers made up his mind to slay nim. He had so frequently heard the great man denounced as the curse of Europe that he felt impelled to seize the chance to destroy him. He was common sol dier at the time and had to do sentry duty in one of the corridors of the pal ace along which Napoleon passed. He put his finger to the trigger as the duke. accompanied by Napoleon, drew ln sight He aimed for Napoleons heart Napoleon saw him. He said nothing, but simply fixed his eagle eye upon the youth. The latter seemed spellb0und. He let the musket fall with crash 10 the floor of the stone corridor He felt. he said, as if he must have swooned.

soILED BOOKS.
Methods by Which Grease and Crime
 May Be Removed.

"~J SS shS''SNSN'
 In removing grease spots from a bosk take a little powdered pipe clay or fuller's earth and mix it with water to the thickness of cream. Then apply it to the spot, laying it on a quarter of<an inch thick. Let it remain during four hours and then scrape it away. If the spot has not been absorbed by the clay, put the wet clay on it again and repeat as before.
 If oil or grease is on your best book, use this simple method. Ap- ply spirits of turpentine to the spot, smearing it on thin with a small swab. Let the turpentine dry; then moisten the spot with alcohol with clean swab, and the grease will disappear. The paper will not be discolored. If necessary, make a second application.
 Or lay plotting paper on the grease spot, then press the plotting paper with warm iron, repeating the process several times so as to absorb as much of the grease as pos sible. Then take a little essential oil of turpentine and heat it al- most to the boiling point. Have the greasy leaf warm, and then with a clean brush wet in the warm turpen- tine go over the grease spot on both sides of the paper. Repeat this process and the stain will soon dis appear. Lastly, apply the plotting paper and warm iron.
 A good book may be so thumbed by constant use as to become dirty on the margin or even on the en- tire pages. Such dirt may be re- moved easily without impairing the printing. Take the soft part of stale bread and with it rub off what dirt is loose. Then make saturat- ed solution of oxalic acid and water. Citric acid or tartaric acid may be used if preferred. None of them injures printing ink. They will re- move marginal notes if in writing ink, so care must be used in that re- spect. When the acid solution has been made, apply it with g small swab on the dirt. Let it evaporate and the dirt will also disappear. It might not be best to make the pa per too wet, as it may pucker when dry. Simply moisten the book leaf with the solution of acid.

o'clock of the Dead Kinas.y

The most peculiar clock in the world is that in a tower in the courtyard of the palace of Yer sailles. It has but single hand and is known as 'I'Horloge de la Mort du Roi'' to the French people and to all other Europeans by words which signify "clock of the dead kings" It has no works, but con sists merely of a face and single hand, the face being in imitation of the sun. Upon the death of king in any portion of Europe the hand is set at the moment of his demise and remains in that position until another king passes away. This curious custom is said to have orig mated in the time of Louis XIII. The clock of the dead kings is about the only relic of royalty in Yer sailles that escaped the furious mobs of the time of the French rev olution.
