Wisconsin Lead and Zinc Mines.

Wisconsin Lead and Zinc Mines.
Madison.-The St Louis metal mar.
kets hold much Of encouragement to
lead and zinc mine operators and pro-
ducers, spelter hanging on tenaciously
at a point previously close to the six
cent mark, while pig lead remained at
the trust-fxed price of about $3.50 per
hundredweight earlier in the week,
showing a tendency to climb up a few
points.
There was an increased demand
from manufacturers for spelter, who
had about exhausted their reserve
stocks, and the hand-to-mouth buying
was not so much in evidence. Sellers
claim that they had little to offer for
prompt delivery. and there has been,
undoubtedly, a considerable decrease
in the output
Zinc ore brought very little more
than for the previous week, fact &C
counted for by the increased produc-
ton of all grades Of zinc ore, in both
the Wisconsin and Missouri fields.
Especially in the latter the valuation
OF blended shipments ran up close 10
100000, the largest since the month
Of April, while the aggregate value OF
all ores shipped from that section
amounted to s328,OOO; q splendid
weeks business.
Wisconsin, which usually contented
itself with weekly shipments of 2,000,'
900 pounds of zinc ore, has been ma
king an average record recently OF
double this amount. Shipments OF
lead ore are surprisingly strong. Much
carbonate zinc ore goes to market and
in the past year over 25,000,000 pounds
Of iron pyrites have been shipped to
market.
The shipments of ore from the differ
ent camps for the month Of October
with the production reported and de.
livered to the separating establish
ments, tell an interesting tale Of mining
operations in the Wisconsin field.

USE THE LEFTOVERS
TRIMMINGS AND DRIPPINGs MAKE
DELICIOUS SOUPS.
Stale Bread Should Be Saved and
Crushed for Poultry Dressing and
Other Purposes-Fish
Marinade.

A good housekeeper rarely buys
lard. She saves the trimmings from
all meats and the drippings from
roasts, except lamb and mutton, of
which the fat is too strong for other
use. The meat is boiled down for
bouillon and the fat clarified, and
both are put away for soups, graVies.
frying, etc. In Germany and France
the most delicious soups are made
with these kitchen Ieft-overs.
All stale bread should be saved IN
til it gets to the moldy point. Cut
it in one-inch squares, put these in
the oven and let them dry out and
brown slightly. Then take the bread
out, and when cold crush it with a
rolling pin as finely as possible. Pass
the crumbs through a coarse sieve
and keep them tied up in a muslin
bag. Old flour or salt bags, care
fully washed, are good for the pur-
pose, but they must be kept in very
dry place. The bread is used for
stuff1ng poultry, for patties, for bread
ing chops, sprinkling stuffed vegeta-
bles, and SO forth. 1t will keep in
definitely if away from all moisture.
A box with growing herbs, placed
at a sunny window in the kitchen,
will supply the most delicious sea
sonings. Parsley, tarragon, chiVes,
cherVil and sorrel, all of which are
needed some time or other by the
good cook, can be grown in this way
Tarragon vinegar may be made from
the fresh herb if it grows too abun-
dainty to be used up. The green
herb is put in a stone jar and boiling

A Transformed Bookcase.

A large, black walnut bookcase, five
and one-half feet high, which had
been in the family for many years,
was transformed into an attractive
and roOn1y China-closet. Six shelves
were used for the space in the case,
q narrow strip of wood nailed on each
shelf, two inches from the back, for
plates, ETC., and screw-hooks for cups
placed where they were desired. The
high doors Of plain glass needed some
thing, but the problem was solved by
the use of very dark brown, narrow
binding, used for passe-partout fra
ming. This binding pasted on the
outside of the glass, gave the appear
ance Of beaded glass in diamond
shaped panes. The effect was sur
prising, and the china-closet has been
greatly admired.

Record of Civil War Company.

Almost complete field records of
Company A, Fifth Wisconsin regi-
ment, in which he served during the
Civil war, are in possession of Judge
James Anderson Of this city, and
after Mr. Anderson has made dupli-
Gates of the records for preservation,
he will forward the papers to Madison
| to become a part of the records Of
the State Historical society.
Aaron Gibson, Robinson, Kan, a.
former Manitowoc man, who was g
lieutenant in Company A, forwarded
the records to Mr.. Anderson. There
| is a register Of the command with
many names which are familiar here,
Company A having been recruited
from this county almost entirely, and
| other papers.
The documents are well preserved,
though age has faded the ink and on
some Of the papers it is hard to make
out the entries
One of the most interesting of the
documents is that showing the last
assembly in the field before Company
A started for home to be mustered
| out. This record bears date of June,
1864, and gives facts relative to the
company's work on the battlefield, the
dead and wounded in the engagement,
etc. The report shows that the COM
pany had thirty-tive prfvates, a lieu
tenant, three sergeants, six cOrpOrals
and one wagon on the field and there
were four i'll and seventeen wounded
in the hospital
The papers mention the death Of
several members of the command and
tell of the wounding of Judge Ander-
son by the explosion of a shell.
During the campaign Of less than
two months, in May and June, 1864,
Company A used $3.50 rounds of am
munitiUn on the field, according to

HOW TO WARD OFF WRINKLES
Women Should Begin the Fight In
Youth, and the Best Safeguard
Is Control of Self.

Youth is the time when woman
should begin her fight against that
arch enemy to beauty-tha wrinkle.
If she waits until middle life to COM
bat this stealtby foe 1t is too late;
the wrinkle has established its cob
web of lines across the face. It has
a spidery cunning and persistence that
will require all the self-control a
woman can muster to outwit it.
Few women realize how early this
enemy begins its work of undermfn-
ing beauty The child who Is encour-
aged to make an ugly face because it
is amusing soon develops funny
trick into an ugly habit, and the first
toothold is given the wrinkle.
One cannot begin too early to guard
against this habit, and the best safe
guard is self-control The woman
who uses her face to give emphasis
to a shaft of sarcasm is harming her
self The girl who gushes and &C.

Pure Drug Show to Be Instructive.


From Rn educational viewpoint
the Pure Drug show, which will
be given by the Wisconsin and
Milwaukee druggists at Milwaukee in
the Auditorium this week, will be a
most interesting event. It will be-
conducted in the main hall, and will
use all the space in the arena and
stage for exhibits and educational
features.
The druggists of the city and state
are going to take the public into their
confidence during the exposition and
will show some tricks of the trade that
will abolish much Of the mystery per-
tanning to the drug business. They
will show a great quantity of crude
drugs in the original packages, and
these viii be contrasted with the
manufactured products. The vast diff
ference between the crude and the
manufactured product, according to
President Widule of the show COM
mittee, VIE prove interesting to the
druggists as well as the public.
The government exhibit, which will
include 12S authentic drugs, has at
tracted the attention of the University
of Wisconsin and Marquette univer-
sity pharmacy students, and arrange
ments are being made for the students
of both colleges to attend the show.

OIL LOCOMOTIVES
CAN NOT BE USED
Plan to Avoid Forest Fires by U.s.
ing Regular Engine.
STATE BOARD HOLDS MEETING
{. M. Griffith, State Forestes, Says
That Many Forest Fires In the
Dry Season Are Caused by
Sparks From Engines.

Observation-Disclosures state board Of
forestry held conference ii the gov
ernOTg Office with representatives Of
the principal railroads of tie state.
The conference was for the purpose
Of determining what methods would
be best to minimize forest fires in the
state forest reserves.
The commission believes that some
steps should be taken and suggested
that the roads place oil burning loco
motives on those divisions running
through the forests.
This plan was declared to be i'm
practicable by the representatives of
the road by reason of the fact that
the supply of fuel oil is limited and
even can hardly be secured in suffi-
eient quantities in those sections of
the country where oil burners are
used and where the cost of oil is
eQualed by that of coal.
AS an alternative they suggested
that everything inf1ammable on the
roads right of way and fifty feet on
each side be burned over, as it has
been shown that sparks from engines
seldom fly more than 100 feet to
either side of the track.
w III. Hall, chief of the forest re
serve laboratory at the University of
Wisconsin, was the principal speaker
at the conference.
Z. M. Griffith, state forester of Wis
osnsin, also spoke. He declared that
more than % per cent. of forest fires
AZ the state during the dry season
were caused by sparks from engines
Griffith recommended that freight
ers be equipped with railroad motor
cars and patrol the tracks for fires.
He declared that several men last
year were able to quench hundreds of
incipient blazes in this way.
