Miners on the Corner.

"Those men," said Sherlock Holmes,
fare colliers. You can tell 1t by their
attitude"
The men, very clean In white shirts
and black overcoats, squatted on their
heels on sunny corner.
"Any other men," continued Holmes,
would stand. They would lean against
the lamppost or the wooden Indian OF
the tobacconist, But these men, In the
low galleries or tunnels of coal mines,
for lack Of space must work seated
on their heels-squatting, as we say.
And this position, which would be-
come torture to you or me In FIVE
minutes, Is to them, from long usage,
comfortable and customary. 1t is their
favorite position at all times.
"Hence when you see men idling on
their heels on the street corners you
can always set them down us miners.
If they are bowlegged the case against
them is doubly strong Buffalo Ex-

Queer Effects That Are Puzzle to the

AS regards drink, writes DR.. Beverly
Robinson in the Medical Record, have
known d tumblerful Of milk to bring
on an attack of asthma with hives in
an otherwise healthy child. When the
milk was taken and piece OF bread
eaten at the same time there was no
asthma and no hives. l could explain
this by saying that the bread helped
break up curd and that stomachal d.
gestion was not interfered with. But
why and precisely in what manner and
for what reason asthma and hives
were occasioned are certainly matters
largely of thought and conjecture. 1
have known mushrooms in good condi-
tion and on repeated occasions to cause
most distressing oedema Of the uvula
and palate. Prior to these attacks the
same Individual had eaten mushrooms
repeatedly with no bad or unpleasant
effects at all and had thoroughly en-
loved them. / have known an individ-
ual In whom single strawberry would
give neuralgia Of the teeth which last
ed twelve to twenty-four hours. Again,
prior to the attacks Of neuralgia OF
the dental branches Of thl fifth nerve
the same individual had eaten repeat
edly and abundantly Of strawberries
without pain, ache or unpleasant symp-
toms of any kind. In this case II
seemed as though the only plausible
though not entirely satisfactory expla-
nation was that with increasing years
strawberries had become inimical to
that patient.

Mr.. Ward, the American envoy to
China, who tried to secure an inter-
view with the emperor, Hieng Fung, IN
1859, tells how he was entertained at
dinner that lasted from noon one day
until 6 o'clock on the evening Of the

courses is not given, but Ward men
tions that he had to give in after par

Probably, however, the Eskimo BAN
duets last longer than any others and
the quantity of food swallowed Is also
proportionately greater. Ross records
that seven of his party of natives once

during which time they consumed 200
pounds Of seal meat. Europeans ex:s

even then he was still hungry.

Civil Service In England and America,

The difference between the civil
service examination In England and
In America is important and to the
advantage Of the English. In the
United States the object Is almost en-
tirely to discover the immediate flt-
ness OF the candidates for the work
they are expected to do. In England
the object In most cases is to measure
what their ability to do the work will
be after they have learned it.-From

FARMS FOR WORKING WOMEN.

FARMS FOR WORKING WOMEN.
A group OF enterprising Chicago
Beamstresses. calling themselves the
Idalis Guild have bought fruit
farm OF one hundred acres In that
State. There they will make a com
mon home and win their livelihood
from the soil and the weather. This
Is not an isolated sign Of the turn oil
the tide from the city back TO the
farm. II has found almost duplica-
ton in New York, where number
Of working women, for the sake OF
GUNNER vacations, began by leasing
a farm In New England on shares,
and found their experiment so sue
cessful and profitable, in both health
and money, that they finally bought
the property and went there to live.
OF course, there was a mortgage In
volved, but the profits were enough
both for their livelihood and for IN
terest and a sinking fund.
There is more in these recorded
undertakings than the mere desire for
a change. 1t indicates that the form
er ambition OF women and girls TO
earn what seemed to them high
wages in factories or in shops has
been diverted in a more wholesome
and natural direction. The history
OF Industrial conditions in such man
ufacturlng centers as Lowell afforis
an illustration. There the daughters
Of New England farmers were the
first operatives, making their homes
in boarding houses that were under
more or less austere supervision. But
immigration and the tremendous de-
velopment OF the cotton industry
have made that experience a tradi'
ton. There may be something IN
this movement toward rural life CT
interest to women's trade unions.
Such organizations might find it
worth while to look into the posi-
bilities of feminine cooperative farm
ing, not as a substitute for wage
earning in cities, but as a desirable
outlet for those workers who are
fond of life in the country.-Wash-
ington Herald.

pageant. There were the flowing, fur

light, graceful draperies brought in
by the Roman invaders; the flower

from France; the rude dresses oil

wealth-its soil and it's mines-ahd
the former will probably outstrip the
latter when fully developed by irci-

practically dead unless good ore 10

mines are now being put In working
shape which will pay good DIVIDENDS
for years The new camps around
Tonopah and Goldfield have been hurt
by wildcat manipulatOrs, but the
new district Is too rich to be injured
permanently. The financial strin-
gency seriously hurt the develop
ment OF the mines, but this year
promises great progress.
The Truckee-Carson irrigation pro-
ject, on which the Government VII!

for Nevada than It's mines, The soil
Is very rich and when water IS
brought upon it any crop may be
grown prohtaIbly. More than 100000
acres are brought under irrigation by
canals from the Truckee River. FL
lngs are now being made on this
land. In addition to irrigation the
canals, which drop 1000 feet from
the Truckee source, will furnish enor'
nous electric power. Reno Is the
commercial centre OF Nevada and
has more than doubled In population
in two years. The Southern Pacific
Railroad shops at Sparks employ 600
men all the time. The Western Pa
