A Mine Chamber That Resembles
Picture Of FairyIand.
A blast In the Shattuck mine in Ari-
zona, set for the purpose Of bringing
down ore, was responsible for the dis
covery of a remarkable cavern, now
known as Shattuck cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens,
some of the finest Of which have been
added to the collection at the Michigan
College of Mines.
When the miner who had been work
ing in that part of the 300 foot level re-
turned with the night shift he found
great opening that reached farther
than his light could penetrate. Look
ing upward, he could see tiny lights
flashing, and, in the belief that they
were stars, he ran back to the shart
and declared that he had blasted a
hole clear through to the surface.
On investigating the mine official
found that the blast had opened a
great circular cavern 945 feet in diam
eter and It's feet high, which seemed
like piece of fairyland. On the roof
myriads of crystals reflected the
lights from the miners lamps. The
walls, the roof and the floor were COW
cred with great clusters of crystals,
and near the center Of the cavern a
mass Of stalactites, forty feet long,
hung from the ceiling like a great
chandelier.
For the most part the crystals were
pure white, but in places where the
altering waters had contained iron and
copper great transparent stalactites
and stalagmites, some ruby red, Others

Death Of Uncle Bill Taylor.

After many weeks of intense
suffering, Uncle Bill Taylor died
Wednesday afternoon at his home
several miles east OF Dresden.
The deceased was in his seventy
ninth year. He was born and
reared in that community, and
was one of the most popular
citizens Of the neighborhood. He
was man who attended strictly
to his own affairs, letting other
folks matters alone. He was an
exacting man, always wanted to
pay every cent he owed and re-
quired the. other fellow to do the
same by him. This does not
mean that Uncle Bill was not
charitable man, for he was
generous toward the poor and
needy. He was good farmer and
a hard worker.
His wife preceded him in death
some twelve years ago, leaving
three daughters-Mrs. E. W.
Parrott, of this county; Mrs. J. A.
Jones, near Trenton, and Mrs.
Fife Cooley, of Jackson, The
remains were laid to rest Thurs
day at the Taylor family burying
ground, appropriate services by
Elder W. F. Etheridge Of Dresden.

for opportunities to bid until the

Of town, got the free lot, which
sold at once for $50 to Jack Butts.
The lots brought good prices,
showing the high value placed on
Dresden real estate. The total
amount realized from the sale was

King sold this piece of land for

Mr.. Bishop thoroughly under

secret Of his phenomenal success
in land dealing. He knows how

him so, and he has host Of

Breeding Livestock.

1t is just as great an error to
suppose that a man can learn the
livestock business from his own
experience only as that he can
learn it from books alone. There
is no one thing which retards the
development Of the livestock bust
ness in the South more than the
failure to appreciate the necessity
for reading and study. Livestock
husbandry is the most difficult
and the highest type of farming
because it requires a knowledge
Of crop production and in addi-
ton a knowledge OF breeding and
feeding. The breeding and feed
ing Of livestock demands a wide
range Of knowledge. The idea
that anyone can do these or a
failure to appreciate just what
they do mean is responsible for
many failures. Study, hard study
OF books, and much actual
practice, are required-not one,
but both. Progressive Farmer.

SACRED JEWISH FRUIT.
Extreme Care Taken In Growing and
Protecting the Esrog.

Extreme Care Taken In Growing and
Protecting the Esrog.
The esrog or sacred Jewish ciSron Is
one Of the costliest and most interest
ing and yet one of the least known
fruits to be found in the markets OF
the world. 1t has been used by the
Jews in connection with the Feast Of
Tabernacles since the time Of the
Babylonian captivity and is still treas
ured by orthodox Hebrews in many
countries.
In appearance the fruit greatly re-
sembles the lemon, and it possesses a
strong and agreeable perfume. The
tree itself is a variety of citron and
belongs to the citrus family Of which
the orange and grapefruit are mem
bers.
Nearly all Of the esrogs, or Cedrats,
as they are sometimes called, are
grown in Palestine and on islands near
the coast of Greece. In these localities
the groves are planted in sheltered val
Jeys, where the trees will be safe from
frost and drying winds.
Great care is used to protect the
fruit from the time of blooming until
it is sold. The young fruit is tenderly
wrapped in soft lint, lest 1t be marred
by a scratch or blemish, and when ma
tured 1t is carefully packed in special
" constructed box with individual
lined compartments. For religious
purposes it is essential that the fruit
be free from blemishes. Even the deli
cate stamens must be preserved intact.

Great Yellowstone Trail.

The Yellowstone trail is one Of tho
wonders and one Of the curiosities OF
the west. 1t starts somewhere east Of
st. Paul, and 1t ends somewhere west
Of the Yellowstone National park. At
intervals along the route there arc
places where the trail forks and the
innocent wayfarer will have to do some
thinking and make some inquiries as
to which is "the really truly Yellow
stone" and which is the side track.
This uncertainty, however, is a part
of the Joy of the trail and adds greatly
to the attrachveness of trip over it.
