been in their family many years. It

These two men conducted a pottery

ter's Hill" in New York city, about
where the Hall of Records now stands
Here they manufactured their quaint
pieces out Of rough native clay. throw
ing them all upon the wheel as the
fashion of pottery making was in those
days. no casts or molds were used,
and SO the individuality Of the maker
was apparent in every piece.
This old Jug is rich olive brown in
color with decorations in dark blue.
The decorating and old-fashioned let
tering was all done by hand. It Is

The jug came into the family In the

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In oIden Days, Among Other Accom-
Ilshments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the. part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress Of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for II she
gave a dinner of several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests. seated expectantly. what was
due to appear at table. A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua.
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles Of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire "if he would please to have
something more"
In the art Of carving. of course.
the mistress of any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
ton under the wing OF a professional
carving master: she took three les
sons a week. that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, in
order to- perform her functions with
out interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
SO beforehand"

Sir Edwin's proposal is amazingly un-

like, especially in an Englishman, the

Of fair play in sport. What folly to

Pure oxygen has before been used
in athletics. but all that kind Of thing
is altogether cheap and Improbable

They should not stand: they do not in
the minds OF the sporting aristocracy
And the reason why is that they are
not tests of Drawn and endurance un-

human life must ordinarily be lived.
An oxygen drunk might make an un-

The only safe and sane way to
breathe oxygen is in combination with
nitrogen as 1t exists In the circumam-

has become adapted. Normal living is

How utterly purposeless is today this

Shipment Yields
 Pleasing Returns.

Born Brothers and associates in the Hobson mine, feel very much elated over the returns received yesterday from the Consolidated smelters at Humboldt. a sixteen.ton batch of ore giving value of r per cent in copper and oneh half ounce per ton in gold. This was the first shipment made from the mine, and was intended as a gener- al sample of recent development per formed in a tunnel.
 It was taken from a depth of less than forty feet from the surface, in the performance of annual assessment work Chas. Born states that the re. turns are so gratifying that extensive development will begin this fall the summer weather being extremely warm in that section. A permanent camp is to be built to accommodate an ample force of men and regular ship. ments will follow to the above shelter. The Hobson has been owned for several years by MT. Born and other relatives, and adjoins the properties of the Interior Mining company in Black Rock district.-Prescott Jour. pal-Miner.

Wonderful Transformation.

The recent discoveries of free gold ore on Winnemucca mountain has brought about a wonderful transfor- nation of the old district, which is now one of tine most active sections of northern Nevada. Every day new dis coveries are reported and number of the new finds have promise of making into paying mines. possibly equal to the famous Adamson. Turner estate and the wonderful holdings owned by the Bonanza Mining company. which is known locally as the Shively strike and which is opening into an excep- tionally big mine.
 The ledge that traverses the BOnan- ga Mining company's property, at a depth of 80 feet, is l6 feet wide and pans gold for the full width, with a showing of high-g grade ore that is al- most astonishing At the present time Superintendent Shively has two shifts of miners drifting in the lower work ings, both east and west, on the big vein. and so far there is no dminu- tion of the values in the ore, but, on the contrary, richer ore is being en- counlered in the drifts than was un- covered along the surface where the ledge has been exposed along its strike for distance of POO feet.
 As the outcrop of this big lode is traceable along the contour of the mountain for long distance there is every reason to believe that this es- tate is in the making of one of the big gest milling propositions in the state, and that opinion is openly expressed by the many mining men who are visiting the property daily.
 As development progresses in run ming the drifts large tonnage of ore is being piled on the dumps, which un- doubtedll means the installation of large milling plant at this place in the near iu ure. The next important development at this property will be the sinking of the main working shaft to another level In the meantime drifting will continue and an upraise made to the surface workings for ven- tilatlon.
 At the Adamson- Turner property at ReXall, only short distance west of the Bonanza company's property, the little pan arrastra mill keeps steadily grinding out bullion from extremely high. grade ore and the dumps are be- ing piled high with good milling grade of ore. This Rexall estate is not prospect any more, but a paying mine with substantial record as producer. Recent development on this estate has proven the existence of good grade of ore at least 100 feet farther to the north eno on the same lead. This part of the property is now undergoing development. The Adam. son Turner estate is not a small proposition. but one of great magni- tude. for the dyke or ledge in which the rich ore occurs shows a width in places of 30 feet, the extremely rich gold ore occurring in continuous shoots in the big vein. This property is another mine capable of producing a large tonnage of milling ore and even- tually big reduction plant will be necessary to handle the output of this roperty.-Humbolt Star.

GARDEN ON VALUABLE LAND
Small Patch in Heart of City of Lon
don Is One of Capitals
Curiosities.

There are many curious things
about the Bank Of England, but among
them how many know that it posses
SEES respectable garden? 1t Is to be
found just inside the Threadneedle
street entrance, on the left-hand side.
This old-fashioned garden has
fountain in the center, graveled paths
and couple of trees, the whole form
ing quadrangle with the bank build
ing running all round.
Its history is a curious one. In real
ity this garden is the churchyard of
the vanished Church Of St. Christie
pher-le-Stock, which used to stand
where the Mansion House now Is.
One reason why the church was
pulled down was because its tower
completely overlooked the bank, and
1t was feared that it would be a dam
ger to the "Old Lady" IL the church
was occupied by rioters.
AS the bank occupies the site of the
entire parish of St. Christopher-le-
Stock, 1t is said that any freeman Of
the city can claim admission to the
old garden. But, as matter of fact,
any one who cares to see It may do so
during business hours. and 1t is well
worth visit, II only for the fact that
it Is the most valuable garden in the
world.

town clerk of Centerville for not
levying the tax, raised by the district,
and by an order of the court, the town

Gus illness or a death advertises the

royal parsonage gets something wrong
with his throat, or has pain in his

the least notice of him. But II he

hovers in pain and fever between life
and death, his fortune Is made. Ev-
