THOUGHT GIRL WAS FLIRTING
Ticket Agent Fondly imagined He
Had Made dit" but lie Was
Mistaken.

A very handsome little sixteen
year-old girl was taking her first
trip with her mother from Canajo-
harie to Duluth. They arrived early
at the Canajoharie station and the
long dashed brown eyed little girl
looked in wonderment at all. AS
her eyes we're glancing from one OBJ
ject to another, they each time
passed the young ticket seller be-
hind the wicket. His eyes caught
hers and he thought that she, like
other girls, was probably flirting
with him.
The mamma pretty soon asked
her to go up and buy the tickets
and to this she protested, but her
mamma thought she could just as
well begin to learn how to travel. So
in her modesty she stepped up to the
window and said: "Toduluth." "
The ticket seller said in reply, "Tee-

RATS MAKE NEST OF BILLS
Experts at Washington Called Upon
to Redeem Much Mutilated
Greenbacks.

Chewed to small bits by rats, a
bundle of bank notes was so badly
mutilated that when the bills were
presented for redemption at the New

denomination and had to send them
TO Washington, where the govern

EVENTS THAT PASS US BY.

We can be but partially acquaint-
ed even with the events which actual
ly influence our course through life
and our final destiny. There are in
Vulnerable other events, if such they
may be called, which come close up
on us, yet pass away without actual
results, or even betraying their near
approach by the reflection of any
light or shadow across our minds.
Could we know all the vicissitudes
of our fortune, life would be too full
of hope and fear, exultation or dis
appointment, to afford us a single
hour of true serenity.-Hawthorne.

MOTION OF THE "DIPPER."

1t is explained that the rotation
of the earth upon its axis causes all
the stars of the sky to appear to
move around the north and south
poles of the sky each day. The
clipper" has this motion, with all
the other stars. The rotation of the
earth is from west to east, and the
stars appear to move from east to
west. Those stars near the north
pole with us do not set or rise, but
move toward the east in the lower
part of their motion and toward the
west in the upper.

Dolls and Artificial Flowers Which
Change Color.

The principal uses of cobalt in the
United States are in making glass and
pottery. A beautiful blue is given to
glass by the oxide of cobalt. Sympa-
thetic inks, according to report of the
United States Geological Survey, are
made from cobalt acetate, chloride,
and nitrate that are colored when
heated or colorless when cold, This
interesting phenomenon is due to the
change in color of the salts on the alb
sorption of water. When dry they are
blue and easily seen on paper; when
damp they are pink; and when dilute,
colorless. A puzzling application of
this principle may be in doll whose
dress IS blue in dry weather but changes
to pink when subjected to dampness,
as in wet weather or when the doll is
held in the steam of a tea kettle. Arti-
fetal flowers are made to show the
same effect.

IMPORTANCE OF LITTLE MILLS.

The Salt Lake Mining Review says:
In glancing over our exchanges it is
pleasing to note the large number of
small milling plants being installed and
operated in many parts of the mining
camps of the western states. A few
years ago it seemed to be the general
opinion and belief that there was but
little use in mill installation unless a
large and costly plant was built; and
these, as a general thing, were erected
for the treatment of ores from mines
which were bat little more than pros
poets; the result being that many fail
ures were recorded. Now, however.
common sense is gaining in ascendancy
and companies owning small mines,
claim-owners who have small tonnage
of good in sight, are beginning to real
ize the fact that the way to build up is
to begin in a small way, at the bottom,
and, with small reduction plant in
operation, lay the foundation fol-
greater things.
There are many cases where owners
of good little mines, of promising pros
poets with favorable orc showings, have
been unable to interest capital in mine
development and mill equipment, anC
who have almost lost hope of receiving
assistance from men of wealth anC
,,ooonc Il, a ,,,,,,oho,. IF oocnc b0vr
ever, such mine-owners have realized
the fact that they, themselves, are in
dependent of the investor, and hav,
equipped their properties with small
milling plants. Some have resorted tt
the old-time arrastra, while others hav,
put in ore and two-stamp mills O
small chilians; and now they are send
ing in small bars of gold bullion, ever
few weeks, and are in position so tina
they are immune from the effects O
hard times and are almost in ignoranc
of financial depression. at the sam
time, they are developing their mines
and paying for this development fror
the output of their little mills. The
are putting in needed mine equipmen
and when the condition of their PROF
critics will justify, they viii put
larger reduction plants until, at las
they will have attained a position
