A Tree of Many Powers.

The ash tree is rich with super
stition. The old eharlatans Of the
middle ages used it in their love
potions, and the damsels of ancient
times believed that it would enable
them to make their sweethesrts
true and help them to discover their
future husbands. The inhabitants
of Iceland still look with dread
upon the use of mountain ash as
fuel. Their belief that it will make
enemies of all who gather round a
hearthstone on which it burns is
deep seated and was once almost
universal in Europe.

A PLOT THAT FAILED.
The Scheme to Blow Up Napoleon 10.
With Gunpowdsr.

With Gunpowdsr.
An interesting story is that Of a
frustrated plot against Napoleon
III. which has never got into the
history book.
In 1900, when the frontage of
the Theatre Francois was rebuilt
after the disastrous fire in which
one Of the most charming actresses
of the Maison de Moliere lost her
life, several shops disappeared,
among them being that of the ia
nous restaurant Chevet. 1t was
not properly speaking a restaurant.
CheVet used to sell liqueurs, gro
c%eries, smoked meats, ETC., and in a
couple Of low ceilinged rooms on
the first floor he would serve a meal
or two to connoisseurs. One day
in 1865 or 1866 two young men Of
fashion, Russians both Of them,
came in and called for dinner in
one of the little rooms which were
above the shop. They asked for
caviar, but when they got it they
protested loudly that the caviar
a of inferior quality and called
for the owner Of the shop. He
came, apologized and was met with
the remark, rendered laughingly by
one Of the diners, that next time
they came they would bring their
own caviar. They came again and
brought it in a little white wooden
barrel, and when they left they had
it put on one side for them. From
time to time the two young Rus
slams came and dined chez Chevet,
dined invariably in the same room
and always began their dinner with
their own caviar. One day they
finished the barrel, and a few days
later, in the afternoon, one of them
brought another one. "Put it in
the little cupboard in the room we
always dine in" he said TO the
waiter, land do not let anybody
touch it until we come to dine"
The waiter took it. but on his way
upstairs something peculiar struck
him.
Look at this barrel" he said to
the restaurant keeper. "Thcre is
something queer about it,"
THAT is no business of ours"
said the master Of the establish
ment, "and | am not going to look
at it anyhow. What will our Gus
toners say if they find We have
opened it,"
"Oh," said the waiter, "we can
open it and close it again, and they
will never know. 1t is certainly
different from the last barrel. It is
heavier, TO begin with"
His insistence prevailed, and the
barrel was opened. The restaurant
keeper and the waiter started back
in fright. There was no caviar,
but %gunpowder in that little barrel,
which was an Internal machine.
The little dining room was exactly
underneath the imperial box, and
there is little doubt that the en-
peror's next visit to the Coincide
Franchise would have been his last
had the carefully laid plot not been
discovered, The plotters never
we're caught, although the secret of
the plot was carefully guarded and
traps were laid for them in Chevet's
restaurant for several days. - st.

The importance of uncon-
scious personal influence is
better shown by Illustration
than by argument. A profess
sor was once walking
through the streets at night
when he heard a boy in a
back yard drumming. Being
naturally fond of rhythm, he
fell into step and marched up
the hill to the little fellows
drumbeat. Then the thought
came to him, ''He doesn't
know what | am doing, yet l
am keeping step to his mu-
sic" And SO our lives may
be setting the pace" to lives
we know little about.

THE FRENCH IDEA OF A TAILORED SUIT

.ftORED SUIT
Paris, April 24.-Here is
the latest French idea of a
tailored suit.
The coat is the latest fash
ion idea taken from the Chin
ese. These short bobbed-off
mandarin coats, as they
are called-are one of the
smartest notes of the spring
season. This saucy little
jacket, with it's crossed ties
of Chinese embroidery, is
made of brilliant red cloth
with trimmings of white
braid and colored buttons.
The draped skirt of white
serge material is managed
most skillfully, the pleats at
the hip giving an effect of
fullness while at the foot all
this fullness miraculously
fades away. Buttoned boots
of patent leather with gray
suede tops accompany this
costume.
A black and white parasoI
and a white hat lined with
black velvet and trimmed
with a brush of ostrich feath-
ers makes this costume par
ticularIy chic.

MINING AT BUTTE

! ! BUTTE, Mont, July 12.-The fu- fure of the Butte Central Copper com
 bany is as yet of an unknown quan- hty so far as can be ascertained at lthe o1iices in this city. The coneen- Frator sS conceded to be among the !best in the whole country. but the Trouble is it has not any ore of q ishipping grade to be treated. While ithe great majority of the stock is jheld in Boston and parts of Canada, there is a lot held in this city and all this was purchased under the i'm pression the company had mine
 which could supply. ore of a grade
 which would return something. It now
 transpires that the ore in the mine is
 not Of sufficient grade to produce any
 prosit. Such a condition of affairs
 must have been known to some of the
 directors and officials and the only
 conclusion to be drawn is that the
 mill was constructed for the purpose of boosting the stock and giving cer- tain persons an opportunity to unload | their holdings. Prom SS.5O a share the stock has dwindled down to a | few cents. Within a few days after ] the concentrator was started up one T rying isabell of Boston was in this 4 ity selling stock and there is the q .llegation that he offered all kinds of Il inducements for the people to buy. Il here is at least one case known Fhere on the recommendation of this g lan lsabell Brady was induced to ! ell some AnSconda company hold ags and purchase Butte Central Cop !

 They are then ready to commence slicing the ore. This consists of un- derhsnd stovipg in which slices are taken off the top of the core and al lowed to run to the chutes by gravity. Alter the mining of the core contin- ues the work is carried on rapidly and the ore is completely extracted in from eight to ten days In sul- phide ores 10 to 15 tons per man per shift is broken, while in oxide ores 25 tons are not unusual This is very rapid as compared with to 6 tons per man per shift in square methods.
 AS the slices of ore are taken off stulls i5 feet long are placed to sup fPort the two parallel erosscut timbers. Angle braces or segments are used on the top sets but not below. The saving the timber is that in the ores neither posts onr grists are required. This method has proven very ef- fective as substitute for square set ting as the arrangements allow or greater capacity besides reducing the cost.

 Finity was the first to be over come by the gas. Experience of Cap tain Hodgson in various mine fires and observation in these of the ef. feet upon men of fire gases, enabled him to gauge the condition of Finity quickly. He also saw that Moon was beginning Co feel the gas and that Ihghes was not exempt. Neither was lIodgson. though evidently feeling it less than the others. They had lo- eated the trouble and further inves- tigation at that time was out of the question. The superintendent sounded the retreat, starting Finity up the lad der first. Four sets below the top, i Finity gave out and hung himself over the ladder, about his own length below the landing. Hughes reached and tried to shake Finity into cor sciousness and effort; then climbe, around him and onto the top 0 .ge; the aid that he knew there was nr l timeto delay about. Moon reached Finity and tried to stir him. with n, i better success. Reaching the platforr he endeavored to pull Finity up. bu
 Moon was too near all in himself, am when he finally gave it up he was abl, oniy to make the next landing befor succumbing.
