WORK OF PROSPEGTORS, Domain Equal to an Empire Developed Through Their Labor. The Virginia Chronicle emphasizes the fact that while the average prospector for mineral land is looked upon with a feeling akin to contempt by the dude element when he visits towns for the purpose of securing supplies, trudging along behind a burro or astride of a horse weighed down with camp equipage and mining tools, that it is this same contingent that has been the principal factor in developing a domain west of the Rocky mountains of the extent of an empire. The vast mineral wealth produced from this territory is dueto the labor of the prospector, who penetrated hitherto desert regions, subsisting on scanty food, poorly clad and facing hardships and dangers that would appal residents of cities like San Francisco, Denver and other Pacific slope metroplitan towns that were mainly built up through the discovery of mineral wealth by men usually looked upon as tramps when they visit those localitie.s Insure YourseEtF against the attacks of fevers, pneumonia and other serious ‘and. prostrating disease by taking a tew bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla now.

Testing Cornstalk Pith. The American consul general at St. Petersburg gives this account of a trial of cornstalk pith made by the Russian admiralty board on the proving grounds at Peligon, near St. Petersburg: ‘*A cofferdam 6 feet long, 6 feet deep and 8 feet broad was packed with blocks of cellulose made-from the pith of Indian corn stalks. The maferial was supplied by an American corporation. A 6 inch solid shot was fired through the dam, striking it about 20 inches from the bottom. The shot passed clear through both the iron walls and the cellulose packing. Less than half a pound of cellulose was carried out by the projectile. The water compartment of the dam was filled, giving a pressure of nearly five feet of water on the perforated surface. In just half an hour a moist spot began to show on the outer surface of the dam, but it was evident the moisture had come along the bottom of the packing and not along the path ofthe shot. In four hours no water had come through the shot’s path. “‘The experiment conclusively demonstrated that a ship provided with a sofferdam packed as was the one used in tbe experiment could be perforated five feet below the water line without the least danger of the entrance of water.”’ In the Museum. ‘*How mavy dollars a week does the fat lady get?’’ inquired the tattooed nan. ‘*H’m!"’ sniffed the snake charmer ‘She’s English, you.know, and get: paid by the pound.’”’ **Ils that su?’ put in the diving skele ton ‘'Thank goodness, ’m not English i’d stand a slim chatece.’’—Philadel. phia Bulletin Her View of Evolution, When the late Professor Henry Drdm mond was giving a course of lectures on ‘Evolution ’ ir the Lowell institute, he overheard two women, evidently much opposed to his views, discussing them Qne of them said, ‘‘Mary. if what he says is not true, we can stand it, but if it is true we must hush it up.’’ » Best In The County.

Weisenburger were appointed appraisers. The estate vonsists of realestate on Piety Hill and it is estimated to not exceed $300 in value. In the case of Frank Johns against L. J. Blundell judgment was given today by Judge Nilon in favor of the plaintiff, the defendaut failing to. appear. The suit was for~the possession of a water right, flume and quartz mill on Wolf creek. The decision is agreeable to all concerned, an amicable _settlement having been agreed upon between the contestants. A decree was entered showing that due notice to creditors had been given in the matter of the estate of the late Dr. Alien Chapman. f In the matter of the estate of John Oliver, deceased, an allowance of $50 a month was made for the support of the widow and minor children until such time as the estate is settled, Sowing Pansy Seed. During early October is a good time for sowing pansy seed for next spring’s supply of plants for bedding out. The reason for fall sowing out of doors is that the plants are not then subjected house; which are-so likely to bring on red spider and other troubles. ° Prepare a bed of very rich, porous loam on a well drained location. Place over it a frame to be filled with forest leaves asa protection to the little plants over winter. After sowing the seed in the bed sift a very light covering of soil over the seed, merely enough to hide them. During the process of germiuation never allow the bed to dry out, as moisture is essential ‘to perfect germination of any seed. As severe weather approaches cover the bed with a few inches of litter of some eort, forest leaves being preferable. At the proper time in the spring the seedlings may be pricked out of the soil in the seedbed and transferred to the bed in which they are to bloom.— Woman’s Home Companion. One Day ata Time.

Flogrcing Them Wus One of ‘the Dutics of the Police. Father will’ not be appeased, says Prince Kropetkin in The Atlantic. He callsin Makar, the piano tuner and subbutler, and reminds him of all his" recent sins. He was drunk last week and must have been drunk yesterday, for he broke half a dozen plates. In fact, the bréaking of these plates was the real cause of all the disturbance. Stepmother had reported the fact to father in the morning, and that was why. Uliana was received with more soolding than was usually the case, why the verification of the hay was undertaken and why father continued to shout that “this progeny of Ham”’ deserved all the punishments on earth. All of a sudden there isa lull in the storm. My father has taken his seat at the table and writes a note to the police station. ‘‘Take Makar with this note to the police station, and let 100 lashes with the birch rod be given to him.” Terror and absolute muteness reign in the house. The clock strikes 4, and we all go down to dinner, but no one has any appetite, and the soup remains in “the plates untouched.\ We are ten at table, and behind each one of us a violinist or a trombone player stands, with a clean plate in his left hand, but Makar is not among them. ‘Where is Makar?’ stepmother asks. ‘Call him in.” Makar does not appear, and the order is repeated. He enters at last, pale, with a distorted face,’ ashamed, his eyes cast down. Father looks into his plate, while stepmother, seeing that no one has touched the soup, tries to encourage us. ‘‘Don’t you find, children, ’’ she says, ‘that the soup is delicious?”’ Tears suffocate me, and immediately after dinner is over I run out, catch Makar in a dark passage and try to kiss his hand, but he tears it away and tion, ‘‘Let me alone. And you, too, when you are grown up, will be just the same?”’ ‘*No, no; never!’ Yet father was not of the worst of landowners. On the contrary, the servants and the peasants coneidered him to be one of the best. What we saw in our house was going on everywhere, often in much more cruel forms. The flogging of the serfs was a regular part of the duties of the police. Oe —_—_ Blankets. 1t or fever, cure all liver iils, sick headache, jaundice. constipation, ete. 25e.

Something About the New Discovery For Curing Dyspepsia. : The Rev. I.-Bell,a highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga Oo., N. Y, in a recent letter writés lieved the Dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them I have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years CAN SLEEP WELL. Rev. F. I. Beil, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly Idalia, Colo.” : Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is a remarkable remedy, not only because 1t is'a certain cure for all forms of indigestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach less, vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest. — . This the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may be, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the stomach but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will 'sonvince:the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich., but so-popular_ has the remedy become that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can now be obtained at any drug store at 50 cents per package.

In four hours no water had come through the shot’s path. “‘The experiment conclusively demonstrated that a ship provided with a sofferdam packed as was the one used in tbe experiment could be perforated five feet below the water line without the least danger of the entrance of water.”’ In the Museum. ‘*How mavy dollars a week does the fat lady get?’’ inquired the tattooed nan. ‘*H’m!"’ sniffed the snake charmer ‘She’s English, you.know, and get: paid by the pound.’”’ **Ils that su?’ put in the diving skele ton ‘'Thank goodness, ’m not English i’d stand a slim chatece.’’—Philadel. phia Bulletin Her View of Evolution, When the late Professor Henry Drdm mond was giving a course of lectures on ‘Evolution ’ ir the Lowell institute, he overheard two women, evidently much opposed to his views, discussing them Qne of them said, ‘‘Mary. if what he says is not true, we can stand it, but if it is true we must hush it up.’’ » Best In The County.

During early October is a good time for sowing pansy seed for next spring’s supply of plants for bedding out. The reason for fall sowing out of doors is that the plants are not then subjected house; which are-so likely to bring on red spider and other troubles. ° Prepare a bed of very rich, porous

loam on a well drained location. Place over it a frame to be filled with forest leaves asa protection to the little plants over winter. After sowing the seed in the bed sift a very light covering of soil over the seed, merely enough to hide them. During the process of germiuation never allow the bed to dry out, as moisture is essential ‘to perfect germination of any seed. As severe weather approaches cover the bed with a few inches of litter of some eort, forest leaves being preferable. At the proper time in the spring the seedlings may be pricked out of the soil in the seedbed and transferred to the bed in which they are to bloom.— Woman’s Home Companion. One Day ata Time.

Flogrcing Them Wus One of ‘the Dutics of the Police. Father will’ not be appeased, says Prince Kropetkin in The Atlantic. He callsin Makar, the piano tuner and subbutler, and reminds him of all his" recent sins. He was drunk last week and must have been drunk yesterday, for he broke half a dozen plates. In fact, the bréaking of these plates was the real cause of all the disturbance. Stepmother had reported the fact to father in the morning, and that was why. Uliana was received with more soolding than was usually the case, why the verification of the hay was undertaken and why father continued to shout that “this progeny of Ham”’ deserved all the punishments on earth. All of a sudden there isa lull in the storm. My father has taken his seat at the table and writes a note to the police station. ‘‘Take Makar with this note to the police station, and let 100 lashes with the birch rod be given to him.” Terror and absolute muteness reign in the house. The clock strikes 4, and we all go down to dinner, but no one has any appetite, and the soup remains in “the plates untouched.\ We are ten at table, and behind each one of us a violinist or a trombone player stands, with a clean plate in his left hand, but Makar is not among them. ‘Where is Makar?’ stepmother asks. ‘Call him in.” Makar does not appear, and the order is repeated. He enters at last, pale, with a distorted face,’ ashamed, his eyes cast down. Father looks into his plate, while stepmother, seeing that no one has touched the soup, tries to encourage us. ‘‘Don’t you find, children, ’’ she says, ‘that the soup is delicious?”’ Tears suffocate me, and immediately after dinner is over I run out, catch Makar in a dark passage and try to kiss his hand, but he tears it away and tion, ‘‘Let me alone. And you, too, when you are grown up, will be just the same?”’ ‘*No, no; never!’ Yet father was not of the worst of landowners. On the contrary, the servants and the peasants coneidered him to be one of the best. What we saw in our house was going on everywhere, often in much more cruel forms. The flogging of the serfs was a regular part of the duties of the police. Oe —_—_ Blankets. 1t or fever, cure all liver iils, sick headache, jaundice. constipation, ete. 25e.
