1 flew out and down to the woods
for fear my mamma would find me,
and when I saw plant with nice
big leaf close to the ground 1 hoped
away under it, Then l tried to hide
more and tucked my head under my
wing, and there I stayed, for l was
afraid to go home for fear my man.
ma would smell me.
By and by it began to grow dark
and I knew it was my bedtime. l
could hear mamma calling and call
ing for me, but did not move. Then
there came a dreadful futtering and
noise, and something very big and
cross said, s'To eat, to eat y-oo-uu.
Oh, my heart beat, and how l
wished 1 had gone home, for knew
it was the terrible old owl that eats
little chickens up, and can see in the
dark as we'll as 1 can in the light.
1 thought of my little sisters in
our nest, and of the two little chill
dren in their beds, and then, oh, then,
| remembered about Jesus and how
He said not sparrow, even a cheap
ground without His knowing and
caring-and then l wasn't so much
afraid, and 1 didn't hear the old owl
any more. He must have flown away.
and the next thing I knew it was
morning, and who should fly right
down close to the big leaf but my
own dear mamma. / told her all
about it, and she just kissed me the
way mamma birds do, smoothed my
feathers with her bill and then
showed me a nice worm all ready for
my breakfast.

there is no one like my own dear

THE GAME OF GUESSING CAKE.
This is charming party idea and
easily arranged, as it does not require
elaborate preparation, but brings out
lot of ingenuity on the part of the
guests who are to strive to win
prize by giving the best idea OF the
| cake they are to represent.
Each guest must select the cake he
or she decides upon, and then wear
some ornament either on the shoul-
der or in the hair which has some
thing about it that will suggest the
name of the cake.
For instance, at a party given not
long since, one of the boys had toy
hen fastened to his coat sleeve, near
the shoulder. This was intended to
represent a layer cake. A young girl
had securely pinned to her hair
sawbucf made of light pasteboard,
across which a sheaf Of wheat was
| fastened This was for buckwheat
cake. An ear of corn stood for corn
cake; hoe, for the old fashioned
Southern hot bread called hoe cake;
a tiny muff in box, muffin; a pan
| with miniature turner, pancake; a
finely dressed doll with trailing gown,
represented a lady cake; a sponge
tied with gay ribbons, sponge cake.
When you put on your thinking
cap you can find so many things
which will represent the cakes famil-
lar to you that it will be easy to find
one you like The one who gets the
| prize is the one who finds something
that will not be guessed the moment
it is seen. yet is correct representa-
ton of the word that describes the
kind of cake it claims to represent

A SELF-EXTINGUISH CANDLE.
Here is an amusing little trick for
which you need only a candle, hair
pin, a small rubber band and half a
walnut shetland, oh. yes! I forgot
about half a match stick.
Bend the hairpin "a large and
strong one-into the shape shown in
the left-hand picture and the white
line diagram. That is to say, bend
about half an inch of the hoop end
down at right angle, and then bend
the tip of this up again to form
hook, and bend the ends of the hair
pin twice at right angles. spread the
bent parts and pinch the tips togeth-
er so that when the hairpin is put on
the candle, as in the picture, it will
hold on tightly.

hot wire or a very small gimlet two
little holes through the walnut shell,
near the pointed END and near the
edge, one on each side of the point.

On certain occasion an event
transpired which lent an interest
most thrilling to the military sense.
1t was at a review held in Vienna,
on the occasion of the fiftieth an
niversary of the establishment of
the military order of Maria Theresa.
Not far from 10000 cavalry were
in line. A little child, a girl of not
more than four years. standing in
the front row of spectators, either
from fright or some other cause,
rushed out into the open field just
as a squadron of hussars came sweep
ing around from the main body. They
had made the tietour for the purpose
of saluting the Empress, whose car
riage was drawn up in that part of
the parade ground.
Down came the flying squadron,
charging at mad gallop-down di-
rectly upon the child. The mother
was paralyzed, as were others, for
there could be no rescue from the
line of spectators. The Empress ut
tered cry of horror, for the child's
destruction seemed inevitable-and
such terrible destruction-the tramp
ing to death by a thousand iron
hoofs.
Directly under the feet of the
horses was the little one-another
instant must seal it's doom-when a
stalwart hussar, who was in the front
line, without stacking his speed or
loosening his hold, threw himself
over by the side of his horses neck,
seized and lifted the child, and placed
it in safety upon his saddle bow; and
this he did without changing his pace
or breaking the correct alignment
of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with
rapturous applause the gallant deed,
and other thousands applauded when
they knew. Two women there were
who could only sob forth their graf
itude in broken accents-the mother
and the Empress.
And proud and happy moment it
was for the hussar when his EN-
peror, taking from his own breast
the richly enameled cross of the or
der of Maria Theresa, hung it upon
the breast of the brave and gallant
trooper.-Philadel Ledger.

NEWS FROM THE MINES AND MILLS
A New SmeIter.

The Montana mine owners have
formed an association for the express
purpose of building smelter to COM
pete with the A. s. & r. Co.'s plants.
Those who attended the Denver meet
ing of the American Mining Congress
will recall that John Dern of Utah ad-
vocated the same plan. 1t really seems
the most logical and sane method OF
solving the vexing smelter-trust prob
lem. II it is true, as claimed by the
smelter-trust managers, that the pre-
valent smelling rates are fair and rea-
sonable, then the rival smelter, being
relatively small concern, will not Sc
riously interfere with the smelter
trust business, but will serve the very
useful purpose of giving every dis
gruntled shipper the opportunity to
make a temporary change. Again, II
fair and reasonable, then the Ameri-
titled to the generous patronage of the
mining public and to freedom from the
harassment of state legislatures; and
the fact that handsome profit is
made by this company will be shown
to be the well-earned reward of skill
full management and will not arouse
further envy. II 1t is not true that the
prevalent rates are fair and reason
able, then the trust has been sailing
under false colors and the rival plants
will gradually get SO much of the busi-
ness that the water will be slowly
squeezed out of the smelter stock and
the smelling business reduced to a
normal plane. AS suggested by John
Dern, If the mine owners feel that they
have not teen treated fairly, let them
set aside two per cent of their gross
production for one year and they can
start rival plant. If the business is
good, it will grow of its own momen-
tum; If it is Improbable, it will at
least end the dissatisfaction. Colorado,
for instance, produced about $4,000
900 last year in the metals; two per
cent of this, or $S40, 900, would put up
very fair little smelling plant-Min-

Cost Of Mine Timbers,

Tho cost of every ton of anthracite
is increased eight cents by the ex-
pense of the mine timbers. To sup
ply sfese timbers, says the Vegeta-
rian Magazine, requires each year
the product of approximately 100000
acres Of forest.
Tin ber is used for cross ties for
tram roads in the main haulage ways,
as wtoden rollers and as props. A set
of gsngway timber consists of two
legs, commonly nine or ten feet long
and about 13 inches in diameter, and
a collar six or seven feet long. These
sets are placed on an average at in.
tervsls of five feet; one gangway fire.
queptly contains 1000 sets, and ten
gansways to colliery is not an un.
usual number.
TIE average life of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty-five
per cent. of the timbers are DESTROYED
by decay, while breakage, wear and
inserts destroy the remainder. BY

tailed vote from enough of the locals
in every district has been counted to
show that Lewis has carried every

A detailed vote from AZ out Of 800

Mininu Prosneritx.

In no state has the mining industry
and the mining market improved more
substantially than in Colorado, says
the Daily Mining Record. Previous
mention has been made in this review
relative to the reduction Of milling
and smelling charges and the lower
ing of railroad rates ON ore in the
Cripple Creek district. These reduc-
tons have made 1t possible to mine
and ship a lower grade and conse-
quently a larger tonnage of ore, the
effect of which has been to spur own
ing companies on to greater effort and
to throw open increased acreages Of
mineral territory to the leasers. These
desirable conditions have attracted
miners from other fields, some bent
on securing employment. and many
eager to secure leases on the excep-
tional ground that has been offered
for this purpose Of late.
The Golden Cycle mill is completed
and is now operating ut its full ca
pacity. handling the ore Of the district
in the same successful manner as be-
fore its destruction. The smelling and
milling trust having lowered its
charges. is also receiving an increased
tonnage from the district, while the
district mills are running to the full
extent Of their capacity. More Of these
mills will soon be completed and in
running order, and others which have
been operating merely as experimental
plants, Will be enlarged.

GREAT CULEBRA CUT
10 SCENE OF BATTLE between
MAN AND NATURE.
More Dirt Being Excavated Now
Daily Than During Entire Month
Of July, 1e04-conquest
Of lsthmian Jungle.

Observation-Disclosures are those who
have wondered whether, apart from
the tropical weather, the difficulties
of overcoming the engineering obsta-
cles of Culebra cut were not over
estimated
But when it is remembered that
this nine-mile strip, varying from $50
feet to the top Of Gold Hill, west of
Culebra, is composed of rock, slime,
gravel and tropical dirt; when it is
borne in mind that the existing prism
of this canal is subject to frequent
landslides, and when it is considered
rental rainfall which exceeds IL feet
yearly, some realization of the diff
culties presented will be possible.
1t is one thing to blast and shovel
million cubic yards out of Culebra,
but it is another problem so to place
the excavation that it will be out of
the way for all time or so to place it
that it will protect the canal channel
on the lowlands of the eastern portion
of the waterway.
The investigator at Culebra, as on
olHeT portiohs ol tHe uitch, ID iiH-
pressed at the outset with the fact
that the railroad is the key to the
situation both from an engineering
and sanitary standpoint. This canal
cannot be constructed upon trunk
sewer plan. All of us have intelligent
friends who seem to think that 1t is
only necessary to excavate and throw
the dirt along the banks of the water
way. But as the tourist obtains his
first view of the cut at Empire he OBJ
serves that the rapidity with which
the dirt trains are enabled to move
out is the measure of the days
achievement.
Through this region, in order to as
sure a prism of definite width, it has
