THE GUSHING PERSON

Many women have the impression
that to be charming they must sush
and make fuss over you; they must
agree with you in everything.
There is a certain class of people
with whom the gushing person Will
get a hearing but this is merely be-
cause that particular class enjoys flat
terry, an art in which the gusher Is
particularly skillful. But taken on
the whole, human nature appreciates
frankness and sincerity. And these
two qualities give to the eye an, ex.
preston which is not to be overlook
ed in the seeker after beauty.
Time was when empty headedness
was no detriment to woman's beauty

There is a lack of poise also about

Quicksilver In The
MazatzaI Range

An examination of the quicksilver
deposits of the Mazatzal Range, Ari.
zona, has been made by F. l.. Ran.
some of the United States Geologic
al Survey and his report has been
published as Bulletin go F. These
quicksilver deposits occur in a strip
OF country about miles icng which
extends northeastward across the
Mazatzal Range in the vicinity of
Pine. Butte, IL miles south of North
Peak. All of the claims are in the
Sunfiower mining district in which
cinnabar was discovered in October,
1911, by f.. II. Bowman Of Phoenix,
while prospecting for gold.
Not enough mining work had been
done at the time Of the visit of the
Survey geologist to determine wheth.
er the quicksilver deposits Of the Sun
flower district are susceptible of pro-
fitable exploitation. The geologic
facts of occurrence and some sam.
ping done by New England mir-
Ing engineer indicate that the parts
Of the lodes OF minable dimensions
now exposed to view carry no more
than 3 to per cent of quicksilver.
When 1t Is remembered that the New
Idria mine in California, the largest
PRODUCER of quicksilver in the United
States, has for some years been max.
ing substantial profits on ore from
which one half "a Que per cent of
quicksilver is obtained, II Is evident
that the Mazatzai deposits have con-
siderable promise.
Facts that indicate the likelihood
that the deposits will be productive
are the updoubted persistence Of the
lodes for long distances over the
surface and the lack Of any evidence
Of decrease OF ore with increase in
depth. Too little has been done to
prove that the lodes continue down
ward without diminution in content
OF quicksilver. The present trans
rortation facilities are very poor and
any plan for proftably working the
deposits will have to reckon with the
long wagon haul to Phoenix, Mesa.
or Globe.

STORING EGGS IN WATER GLASS

In storing eggs in water glass there
are a few points that must be kept
in mind. First, get a good grade of
water glass and mix 10 per cent
solution, using one quart of water
glass and nine quarts Of water that
has been boiled and allowed to cool
before 1t is mixed with the water
glass. Stir the water glass and wat.
er thoroughly. Water glass being
heavier than water will settle to the
bottom unless 1t is thoroughly mixed.
Allow the mixture to stand an hour
Or two and then stir again thorough.
ly. Store the eggs In a wooden, glass
Or crock vessel, but do not use metal
Of any kind.
Use only fist class eggs. Do not
use stale eggs, cracked eggs, dirty
eggs or eggs that have been washed.
Be sure the eggs are OF good quality
and in good condition when put in
the water glass.
Store in a good clean, well venti'
lated place, The eggs must be Gov
cred by at least an inch and a half
of water glass above the top OF
them. II the vessel In which they are
stored is not covered with lid, the
the water will evaporate and more
water will have to be added from
time to time. Do not use the mix
ture more than once.
