Circus Bareback Riders.

The career of a bareback rider with
a circus is limited TO about ten years
1t is short not so much because these
men and women lose their agility, but
because they lose their nerve. The
tension and application are so strained
and marked that it is only few
riders who are able to perform their
startling featS more than a decade.

youth ripens into age, and as all riders,
as rule, marry young added response

Jack Robinson.

A. Foxton Ferguson of Oxford uni.
versity, speaking of the old time bal.
lads, said that as most Of the public
executions took place in some park or
market place, where everybody could
be present. the onlookers oftentimes
amused themselves by singing ballads
giving the entire history Of the victim,
and this is the reason why so many Of
the old songs are concerned with the
hangman and the gallows tree. Par
ticularly interesting also was his de-
scription of the origin Of the express
sion quicker than you can say Jack
Robinson" heard so often in both Eng
land and America. 1t came, he said,
from an old ballad about sailor nam
ed Jack Robinson, who returned to
Portsmouth, England, to find his old
sweetheart married to another. The
poor sailor vowed that he would roam
the seas forever. which he set out to
do hardly before his friends realized
what he was doing. They called after
him, but he had gone.

Maxine the cormorants Work,

The cormorants are among the most
interesting and useful birds in the
world. They are employed in the
fishing industry off the coast of Scot
land to a large extent. They are cas-
fly trained to work for their owners,
who place brass ring round each
Of their threats so as to prevent the
birds swallowing. They naturally feed
upon fish and soon learn to deposit
what they catch in their owners boats.
They display remarkable cleverness in
time, and good fisher is worth good
deal of money to fisherman.

that it was the remains of Mr.. Mar
tindale. After the~police had searched
several months for the missing man
without finding him his wife reluc-
family came to the conclusion that he

GIRLS AND WOMEN WORK
AT ENGLISH COAL MINES

The question Of the employment of
girls and women at English coal mines
is again the subject of discussion and
legislation. In England girls and wo-
men are not permitted to work in any
mine below ground, but women and girls
over l3 years of age are permitted to
work above ground unemployment at which
in the United States, would be consider
ed mems work only. The idea Of
girls and women at physical labor at
mines is repugnant to an American and
it is difficult to understand why there
should be any opposition to the move
ment to abolish the practice in England
and, further, why it should not have
been abolished years ago.
It may be largely sentiment on our
part, but questions of the moral and
physical welfare of the girls and women
employed in such work appeal also tc
US. For them to work side by side
with men in similar work would GER
tainly be demoralizing. AS for the worh
itself-sifting coal, pushing cars, ETC.
it NAV be no more unhealthy or injur.
ious than taking in washing or scrubbins
floors, and perhaps not so much so Al
sitting at typewriter, or standing be,
hind counter all day. Nevertheless
laboring at mines to earn living is al
unwomanly occupation, at least from
our point of view.

WILD FLOWERS
OF THIS COUNTY
Botanical Research in Owyhee
County Being Made by
J. Francis Macbride

While Owyhee county is being devel
oped in all lines Of commercial activity,
its botanical resources are also being
exploited. Mr.. ]. Francis Macbride,
field agent for the University Of Wyo-
ming at Laramie, is here to finish the
work which he began last year. He is
working under the direction of DIR. AVIAN
Nelson who ia making systematic
classification of western fora and is
authority on botanical subjecs regard
ing the Rocky mountain region.
The herbarium at Laramie is the
largest of the Rocky mountain region
and contains more than 10000 speci-
mems. New and strange species we're
discovered last year, Owyhee county
having furnished number that were
unknown to the botanical world, One
was given the name Owyheensis from
its habitat. No doubt otaer new
species win be found this gear as the
earlier ones had disappeared when the
field agent was here last year.
One new species, an evening prim-
rose, which was found in Twilight Gulch,
attracted considerable attention on ac-
count of its unusual size and beauty.
Its petals, which are of clear rich
yellow, fold together during the day but
open at nightfall. Its name, Onagra
Macbridiae was given in honor of Mrs.
Macbride the field agents mother who
was of so much assistance in preparing
the collection.
Mr.. Macbride lie making collections
not only for the University OF Wyoming
but also for twenty-four others includ
some great universities of Europe.

FEDERAL MINING a
SMELLING COMP ANY

Diaries Sweeney of New York, a
director of the Federal Mining & smelt-
ing company, Of which he was formerly
president, has announced that the
average monthly income for the COM
pany's mines in the Coeur d'Alene
district now placed at $l29, 900 will soon
exceed 100000, if the new mill at the
Morning mine proves as successful as
it's operation to date indicates. He said
also that to pay dividends on its pre-
ferred stock, the company requires $40
600 yearly, all earnings above that
being available, either for the payment
OF dividends on the common stock or
for the purchase OF machinery. With
earnings approximating $2,5OO,OO an
nually, there would be available fol-
dividends on the common stock enough
money to pay an annual return of more
than % per cent.
The report for the seven months of
the fetal year ended March, 1911. lust
issued by the Federal company, shows
gain of $S47, 900 over the correspond
ing period of year ago, which means
there was a surplus of $l94, 900 after
paying charges and dividends on per-
ferred stock, as against deficit of $158.
600 for the same period u months ago.
The earnings of March were $4,000. an
increase OF $4,000 over the same month
a year ago. AS perferred dividends call
for $4,000, the company already has
earned for the current year within $l56,
600 OF its needs in this respect. Taking
only the last four months earnings into
account the company is making profit
sufficient to pay $56O,OOO in dividends,
or more than 9 per cent on its common
stock If the present ratio is maintained
