Mr.. Charles Taylor, the well

Some Bisbee men were en-

that the Calumet & Hecla shaft
in Michigan, bears the palm
with a hole more than a mile in
depth, another insisting that
the Hartz Mountain mine in
Saxony, which has been worked
la thousand years heads the list,
while a third had one of re-
|markable depth somewhere else.
"Go off, you are all wrong" "
said a stalwart miner from
Miami. "The deepest mine in
the world is right here in
Arizona"
The others secuted the pro-
position.
"What's it's name?" asked
one.
"How deep is it?" inquired
another.
"Well," was the answer, 81

was the great hoist reeling up

gineer sat in his chair up on the

called out:
"Wake up! The cage is

" Get out of here, d--n you,

this opening is really not necessary if

arranged to form squares. In each

STRAWS MUST BE YELLED NOW
Covering of Hats With Organize or
Other Thin Fabrics Is the Idea of
the Hour.

When woman is making up her
mind about her millinery she should
fix her attention on the fact that the
yelling of straw by thin fabric is
the idea of the hour.
Straw is used because straw is
plentiful, but the milliners have taken
up the idea that this rough material
should not be used in it's nude state.
1t must be yelled.
The newest hats are covered with
white organdie, just as many of the
very smart frocks in foulard and crepe
are covered with organdie tunics and
serge and gaberdine skirts have or
candle peplums above them. A hat is
of blue straw, of the stovepipe shape
with visor brim, gets it's color from
an ornate and splendid design worked
out on the organdie in coral beads.

One of the justices of the Supreme
court tells of a young lawyer in the
West who was trying his first case be-
fore the late Justice Harlan. The
youthful attorney had evidently cOnned
his argument until he knew 1t by heart.
Before he had consumed ten minutes
in his oratorical effort the justice had
decided the case in his favor and told
him SO. Despite this, the young lawyer
would not cease. 1t seemed that he
had attained such momentum that he
could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned for
ward and in the politest Of tones, said:

the court has concluded to decide this
case in your favor."-Harper's Maya

Infant Foods Are Tested
On Little White Rodents
To Determine Their Value

1t is not. very widely known that in
FAINT foods are often tried out expert
mentally on baby white mice The
Scientific American Magazine states
that in various laboratories throughout
the country large numbers of white
mice are fed exclusively on infant
foods and infant milk notifications
The Inference cannot be drawn from
this that infant mice and human in
fants require the same foods; but
growth or lack of growth in the mouse
does indicate something of the growth
promoting properties of the food used.
Large numbers of the baby mice are
fed on each food, so that the individual
differences in the mice may be elm
mated. The food is judged by the av-
erage growth of all the mice in the
group.
The baby mice in the experiments
are as hygienically cared for as are
real babies. The wire cages in which
they are kept are sterilized twice a
week. In the bottom of each cage is
white crepe paper napkin TO protect
the little feet from the wires. A clean
napkin is given at least once a day
and often twice or three times The
infant food mixtures are given from
three To five times day from little
glass dishes resembling individual salt
dishes. The dishes are sterilized every
time they are used.
These aristocratic little pets must
have distilled water to drink This
is furnished from little glass bottle
having a stopper with a glass tube
Inverted in the top of the cage. A
drop always hangs at the end of the
glass tube and when a mouse is thirsty
Ii climbs up and ticks off the drop,
when another drop Immediately forms
In this way the purity of the water
ut all times is insured To be sure
these pets are never bathed but why
should they need it? They have no
chance to get dirty.
