girls are trained to become thorough
practical gardeners. The society's
fees of tuition are very low and Ut the
end of the three years course the
graduates find ready employment at
fairly good wages for the first year or
two, increasing to $50 to $25 Il week
afterWard. As the gardens are
beautiful and gardening one Of the
most healthful occupations in the
world. a good many young women
take the course mainly for the sake
of their health
Miss Martha Van Rensselaer, SUPER
visor of the reading course for
farmers wives conducted by the
agricultural college of Cornell uni
versity, believes that there should be
woman judge in Juvenile courts
where girls are tried. She bases her
opinion on personal observation of
various juvenile courts, notably those
in New York city. She believes that
there are many questions which girls
would answer truthfully if there was
woman on the bench, but which they
now invariably lie about when
questioned by a man, This is one OF
the very few instances in which Miss
Van Rensselaer, believes segregation OF
the two sexes would be beneficial

A woman in Boston has at last sue
ceeded in obtaining from the municipal
government official sanction for
systematic clearinghouse inspection.
Miss Mary Boyle O'Reilly, daughter of
the late John Boyle OReilly, has pro-
cured from Mayor Hubbard the APP
pointment of a commission to investi-
gate and control clearinghouse con-
ditions in Boston. The commission
will consist of five members, I'M
salaried, and a paid secretary. The
ordinance defines what a lodging
house is and will require from keep
ers and owners the observance Of GER
tain regulations in regard to ventila-
ton, sanitation. occupancy Of base
nent rooms, number of occupants to a
room in proportion to the amount of air
space and the maintenance of fire es-
capes. Every proprietor of a lodging
house must obtain license and a
copy Of this license must be posted
conspicuously near the entrance Of the
house. The ordinance has already
aroused considerable opposition and is
expected to be unpopular in several
sections of the city, especially, per-
haps. in the arstocratic Back Bay
district, where there are number of
select and highly lucrative lodging
houses.

Balanced Diet.

A balanced ration will contain due
proportions Of each of the following
classes Of foods every day, although
not necessarily at every meal. The
object is to safeguard digestion from
undue strain, by combining and par
taking of food according to the real
needs of bodily health. Reason and
judgement are better guides than
mere custom or habit.
In American cookery the Proteids,
notably in the form of meats, and the
Carbohydrates, especially white flour
and sugar, are used habitually in
gross excess, while the "Organic Salts

tually neglected, or mis- combined.

In balanced dietary two foods of

This principle excludes all pastry
cakes and buildings, although simple
sponge cake or plain custards might
be used by well people in great
moderation.
The foods in Glass III (Fats) may
be combined with most others, but

A Handsome Portiere.

Take a piece of serge or linen the
required size, make two-inch hem
at the top, and fasten to wooden
harness rings which have been gilded,
stained or painted to harmonic with
the room. Make a two-inch hem on
each side and ravel the bottom for
about six inches and knot into fringe.
This last, however, is quite optional.
Next outline in colors a bold, con-
ventional design. either in bands a
little way from the top and bottom, or
up one side and over the top To out
line use linen floss or Peri-Lusta, US
ing the ordinary outline stitch.
Now prepare some aniline dyes OF
the required colors, and with a COM
mon bristle brush stain the design in
side the outline, and your portiere is
ready, says "Woman's Life"
Take a piece of one and one-half
inch rope. and, after passing it through
the rings, stretch across the top Of the
door and fasten firmly to each side; tie
loops at each end and ravel the rope
to make tassels. The rope as well as
the design may be touched up with
different colored bronzes if desired. If
you will dip the rope in strong tar
water you will not be troubled with
moths. This method Of decoration
would be very effective for curtains.

Boas Of marabou or cocks feathers
can be cleaned as efficaciously by
means of soap and water as by any
more expensive methods.
A lather of good soap should be pre-
pared with a little warm water; the
boa immersed in this and left to soak
for a few minutes, when it should be
worked gently in the fingers and
rinsed in several clean, lukewarm
waters until all soil is eliminated.
The effect is hardly encouraging
when it is removed from the water, for
it does suggest drowned rat more
than ever, but if shaken gently out of
doors in the wind it will regain all it's
original fluffiness.

If the coarse salt and chopped ice
needed to freeze ice cream are mixed
together in a separate vessel and the
mixture then packed around the freez-

freeze much more evenly. The pro-

two thirds ice.

ALICE f. WHITAKER.
Mohave County miner., 1908-04-18

ordered immediate work to begin on their Copper River (Alaska) railroad and 15,OOO men are wanted there at once. This last is an assurance that the Guggenheims believe that there will be an advancing market for cop- per, so much so that they feel justified in building no miles of railroad in a country as far northwest of San Fran cisco as Boston is to the northeast.
 Both items are indications that the raveled ends of disturbed industries are being picked and woven anew. If it were not for the coming presiden- tial nomination things would be nor mal within a month, for there are no reasons why this spring should not carry as much confidence to men as last spring did. Business slowed down with the crisis in October, and thousands of people have denied them selves many comforts and luxuries since, but that is only an evidence that they will want more than ever when business takes on its old momentum. There is no other land like ours.
Mohave County miner., 1908-04-18
Win Work Old Placer Ground.

Deadwood, s. D., April S.-For a consideration named in the instrument of transfer as 2O,OO0$, John H. O'Brien, the well-known local mining man, has just sold to J. Franklin Bradley of Chi cago the Blue Belle group of claims, comprising 100 acres of we'll developed and valuable mining ground in the Custor Peak district adjoining the Merritt strike of some months ago. It was located by MT. O'Brien some 10 years ago, and shows large amount of free gold. It contains a true Assure vein that cuts across the property, and is from 30 to 50 feet in width. A shaft sunk over 50 feet is entirely in ore. MT. Bradley and his associates intend commencing active operations on the property at once, and will, before long, e 'ect some sort of a treatment plant when the ore is more fully developed.
 With the announcement of T. J. Ormsby of Mystic, that after many at tempts he has at last succeeded in in- teresting combination of Colorado and Pittsburg capitalists in the placer mining proposition of Castle creek, it is expected that work there will be- gin within few weeks. For some time past extensive sampling of the placer beds has been going on, and the results have warranted the expenditure of sum of money sufficient to equip a hydraulic process that will work on a large scale. The company has several hundred acres under option, part pay ments on which have been made, and it is planned to work a considerable distance along the creek bed. Some 25 years ago these beds in Rapid creek yielded handsomely through methods that were much more expensive than the present day methods. It was esti- mated that between the confluence of Little Rapid and Castle creek, of which Rapid creek is continuation, there was l5,OOO, ,OOOS in gold in placer deposits in the canyon. Present day work on a small scale shows that the gravel contains 10 cents in gold to the wheelbarrow load in coarse material alone. The new equipment will han dle several thousand tons of gravel a day at a cost of fraction of a cent a cubic yard, which leaves good profits.
