Another strike OF good ore is re-
ported in the Bagley tunnel, being
run between Mineral Point and Ami
mas Forks. They nave cut some very
good leads lately, but are not taking
out ore, being content to push ahead
with the tunnel and go back to mine
the ore later on. 1t is destined to
be one of the biggest and best paying
enterprises In the west, and the only
wonder is how Bagley has managed
to keep going with 1t all through the
panic of the past year. He must have
some good people behind him. 1t is

Gums of Horses Tattooed.

London Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean
 An electrical device by means of which Identification numbers may be tattooed upon the gums of army horses, is being experimented with at Woolwich and other military depots. If it proves satis- factory the system is destined entirely to replace that at present in vogue, by which reference numbers are burnt into the horses hoofs.
 Unless renewed every six months such a reference number disappears completely, owing to the natural growth of the horses hoof. which brings the number lower and lower until, in the process of shoeing, it is filed away.
 It is claimed that by the system which is being tried a number becomes abso- lutely indelble. and could only be re- moved by such a barbarous act as cutting away a portion of the horses gums. The operation which the horse has to undergo is briefly this:
 It's upper lip is drawn back and a DOT ton of the gum, above the incisor teeth, is deadened to pain by an injection of cocaine Then a metal pencil, attached to ar electrical battery, is employed
 In the pencil is a reservoir filled with indelible ink. At it's pointed end is tiny, hollow needle, which, under electrical impetus, shoots in and out with tremend- ous rapidity, making tiny punctures in the horses gums at the rate of many thousands a minute. and depositing a minute drop of ink in each. A number containing five numerals can be writ ten" by an expert in few seconds.

The Ideal Newspaper.

"A New York Editor" in the October
 Atlantic.
 What the public wants is an independ- ent newspaper. The reader will tolerate, and like, any amount of teaching tact fully and modestly offered. He will not [ be preached at or bullied. It is really rather a matter of directing public thought up right lines than of indicating new and experimental policies. The news paper, indeed, should be critical rather than constructive. Our constitution pro yides for three distinct functions of gov ernment-legislative, judicial and execu- tive and is is the duty of what is cor rectly called in England the fourth es- tate of the realm, to provide the fourth necessity, healthy criticism for all three.
 It follows that a newspaper may crit icse a verdict or decision of the courts, but must not meddle with the proper and lawful handling of a case on trial. In the same way the newspaper should watch where corrupt legislation can be defeated, in order to drag 1t out into that dry light where the air Is always too strong for it's lungs. The legislators must do the rest, and it is the business of the newspaper to hold them to their duty
 In like manner, the fullest publicity is one of the most valuable checks upon the acts of any executive officer We know that the balance was most deli cately adjusted by the farmers of the constitution, and in this department there is continual tendency to usurp the func- tions of the other two. Nothing could be better for political morals than the way in which newspapers have emphasized the correct attitude of Governor Hughes in confining himself strictly to his business. holding the other departments of our constitutional government strictly re- sponsible for theirs.

Bullets as CIeWs.

From Pearson's Weekly.
 A bullet is not a specially valuable clew in a criminal case, but that it is better than nothing has been abundantly proved upon several occasions.
 For instance, early in the spring of 1889 armed burglars broke into the residence of a gentleman at Buswell Hill, and, be- ing disturbed, shot him through the body.
 There was no clew but the bullet. Yet the police were able, by it's aid, to fix the crime upon one Lystre, a notorious ruff fan, who, with two companions named Burdett and Clarke, was sentenced to penal servitude for life, Contrary to all expectation the injured gentleman recov- cred from his terrible wound, and now wears the bullet attached as a charm to his watch charm.
 Even more remarkable was the case of the burglar Orrock. who shot and killed q policeman named Cole at Dal- ston on the night of December l. 1882. The fatal bullet was taken from the con- stables skull. and was found to be marked with a peculiar nick. It was, of course. carefully preserved
 year later it's possession was traced to the murderer. He was proved to have fired an identical bullet from the same revolver, for practice, at a tree on Tot tenham marches. This tree was cut down. and there, embodied in it's heart. was found the tell-tale piece of lead. It formed the last connecting link in one of the most remarkable chains of clrcum- stantial evidence ever forged against a criminal. and Orrock was duly convicted and hanged.
 Then, again, there was the famous case of the three Netherby Hall burglars, who were hanged together at Carlisle in February, 1886, mainly on the evidence supplied by a revolver bullet extracted from the body of a constable whom they murdered, which precisely corresponded with a number of ball cartridges found in the possession of one of the gang.

A Rat Story.

From the Bohemian Magazine.
 Even conservative women now draw the hair away from their faces in huge rolls and nobody attempts to deny the fact that she wears great quantities of false hair. Yet men do not admire the fashion. In a western city recently, in penal institution for girls, there was much discontent and the superintendent saw mutiny ahead He could not divine the cause, so he summoned to his aid a young juvenile court attached girl who had been extraordinarily successful in her dealings with incorrigible girls To her he told the situation and requested her to talk with the girls of the institu- tion for while and endeavor to learn in a roundabout way what was causing the trouble. A number of the girls were summoned to the reception room and she chatted with them amiably for time. without mentioning the impending trouble or it's possible cause. As she was about to leave, the superintendent entered and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-04

asked casually:
 Miss U.. what do you think of my or der forbidding the girls to wear rats in their hair?"
 She laughed. q think it hasn't been obeyed," she said 'as all these girls are wearing them"
 ''Impossible I have had every rat burned!'
 She called one of the girls to her and parting her hair, showed the astonished superintendent homemade rata black stocking twisted and sown to the hair. The girls were stockingless, though the weather was cold. And this in reform atory, where no man would see them except the superintendent, and he did not approve of rats. The juvenile court lady advised him to let them wear them-they might do much worse things than to wear rats-and once again peace and quietude reigned where before an outbreak had been imminent. Do women dress to please the men?
