An Ideal Young Woman.

A preacher in the mesquite grass
country preached sermon on the
Ideal Young Woman" and asked the
young men of the community to furnish
short descriptions of their conception
of the ''ideal' A western cowboy
said: my ideal young woman is a
native. She is well graded one too,
but not thoroughbred. They take too
much care and are not good rustlers.
She may not have been raised in the
saddle; but she knows enough to tell a
lariat from branding iron. and is the
kind of girl that can get on good
broncho and hold the cutout herd when
your extra COW boy goes back on you
at the last minute. She's got all the
book learning she needs, but don't go
around talking dead languages while
biscuits burn, nor let the chickens
scratch up good garden while she ex-
periments in botany. She knows how
to talk, andfdoes great deal of it, but
you don't have to put on a jerk line to
get a word in yourself occasionally.
She does not get locoed at the sight of
a cook stove, and it does not take lari-
ats and hobbies to keep her at home
part of the time. She dresses fairly
well, but doesn't blow in every cent
she can get hold of for jingle bobs and
other fixtures, and she does not spend
two hours doing her hair up to look like
water spaniel that !has been through
a cactus patch when you are in hurry
to go somewhere. That's our ideal
woman!" People IS. Press.

a New Phase of
the SilUer Question.

The American Mining congress holds
its twelfth annual session at Goldfeld,
Nevada, September 9th to October End.
and proposes to take up discussion of
the silver question, with view to
bringing about a greater use of the
white metal thereby increasing its
price and decreasing the rate of ex-
change with silver using countries.
This phase of the question is differ
ent from the free silver doctrine of a
few years ago, and becomes an i'm
portant issue at this time, by reason
Of the fact that American manufac-
tured products are in great peril of be-
ing excluded from the silver-using
countries of the Orient and South Amer
lea because of the high rate of ex-
change.
An adjustment of the silver question
therefore, becomes imperative. else
these very desirable markets will be
closed to American industries.

A Club for Dandy Dogs

There has just been opened in one
OF London's fashionable streets a
toilet club for dogs. Here the pets
OF the smart set can have their hair
dressed and their coats trimmed to
immaculate perfection. For three
shillings they can be bathed. If
their teeth are imperfect they can
be st opped or extracted, and If their
claws protrude too far they can be
daintily manicured. Thus groomed
according to the Mayfair mode, their
coats put on, and their goggles at
tached, these exquisite creatures are
taken for their afternoon ride.-Lon-

Clean Yeur Glasses.

You who wear spectacles must IN
derstand that you cannot See to ad-
vanage through greasy lenses. The
common habit is TO wipe eyeglasses
or spectacles with a silk handker-
chief carried in the pocket. The fln-
ger tips always exude a delicate oil.
This gets on the handkerchief and
from the handkerchief goes on to the
lenses. Presently there IS . smear Of
grease and people complain of dim
ness of vision. Drop the handker-
chief; get some very hne tissue
paper cut into small sections. wipe
your glasses with two or three pieces
and throw them away.

The Sneed of Sfeamsllins.

The immense advances recently
made in the power and speed OF
transatlantic steamships have not
yet, in the opinion of IIr. J. J. O'Neil,
a Scotch engineer, been carried to
the limit. Addressing the Institu-
tion Of Engineers and Shipbuilders
IN Scotland, Mr.. O'Neil said that the
lengths of the present liners warrant
the belief that greater power can be
obtained with the same dimensions,
the present speeds with shorter
lengths. Investigation shows that
the variations of form involve reIa-
lively small gains, and Mr.. O'Neil
thinks that If the same attention had
been devoted to the development Of
OF the screw propeller that has been
given to the form of vessels greater
advantages would have been secured.

THE MARINERS COMPASS
Influences That Draw 1t From It's
Allegiance to the Magnetic Pole.


Nothing in the navigation equip
ment Of a ship has been the subject
of more anxious scientific research
or receives more jealous care than
the mariners compass.
The popular notion Of the compass
needle always pointiHg north and
south is-well, more = ccurate than
even popular notioz tally are. No
more uRfayorable Position could be
found for a compass than on board
OF a modern steamship, which is 9
complicated mass Of steel, all tend
ing to draw the compass needle from
its allegiance to the magnetic pole OF
the earth, warning influences which
must needs be counteracted by all
sorts of devices which hedge round
the instrument by an invisible wall
of conflicting currents of magnet
Ism.
And as if this were not enough.
there are now huge dyamos to be
Feckoned with, producing electric
currents for all sorts of purposes on
board. In the midst of these mystic
currents the poor little compass
needle, upon which the mariner de-
pends for his guide across the track
less deep, hangs suspended like one
shrinking saint surrounded by leg
ions OF devils.-Windsor Magazine.

QUEER ANCIENT CUSTOMS
Touching = Suicides Hand Was
Thoaght 9 Cure for Sickness.

4hQGAAN = NUFC AUX SAChGC&os
In former times it was a common
notion that, If a sick person, could
only touch the hand of suicide, he
or she would be cured
This superstition was especially
common In the west of England; in
Cornwall. touching a suicides hand
vas gaid to have once cured a young
man who had been afflicted with
many tumors from his birth. 4
similar superstition regarding the
touch OF executed criminals has been
widely prevalent and has often been
recorded.
Robert Hunt. In his "Romances of
the West O. England" says that he
once saw a young woman led TO the
scaffold at Newgate to have . wen
touched by the hand of a man who
had just been executed.
At Northampton of old the hang
man is said to have had q regular
fee for according a similar "priVi-
lege" to the sufferers from like dis
orders. Even the coffin of a suicide
may have curative value.
There Is q Devonshire belief to
the effect that. If any one suffering
from disease can manage to throw a
white handkerchief on such a cOfan
at the time of its intermsnt, the
disease will vanish Ra the handker-
chief decays.
Much Superstitious value has been
attached to the knots OF the ropes
used either by a suicide or in the
execution OF q criminal.

How Coca Is Oultivated-Used az
Preventtve of gIeen and Eafiqua.

Preventive Of Sleep and Fatigue.
Coca is the South American in-
vigorant. The shrub from which
the coca leaves are obtained grows
under favorable conditions to q
height of about four meters. It Is
cultivatd in Peru and Boliva.
At the time the crop is gathered
the seeds are sown In beds, when
they germinate and grow, and in
two months the growing plants
reach q height Of about a foot. The
leaves, grown in the proper sunlight
and shade, are yellowish, small and
thick.
This is the kind OF leaf that Is
preferred for chewing by persons
using the leaf as a stimuIant, forti-
fer and preventive Of sleep and
fatigue in the performance of ardu-
Gus work, inasmuch as they prevent
rheumatism, from which miners
suffer when working in mines that
contain much water. Indians who
masticate the leaves of this plant
can work twenty-four hours without
eating or sleeping.
Coca leaves are used by the na-
tives when engaged in long and IA
tiguing Journeys and by soldiers
when subject to hardships and pri-
vations. They may be used with ali
kinds Of food and are said to cure
dyspepsia, either taken as an in
fusion in the shape Of tea or By
masticating the leaves. The life Of
the plant when perfect is eighty
years.
