DESVKit, Jim. "0. A special lo the
Newsfiom Cripplo Crook, Colo., says
of the recent strike in Isabella ground :
"Your correspondent saw chunks of
sylvanito that were three inches thick
and solid metal, and chunks of tho
oxidized ore of tho same width that
ho whittled with his pocket-knife. No
assays have been made on tho rock: it
is not necessary, but pieces of tho freo
gold run over $oH),000 per ton. The
Mollio Ciibson, near by, never pro
duced ore that carried more ounces in
silver per ton thau this Isabella ore
does in gold. With every hour's work
the streak is lengthening and widen
ing. Joininc this metallic body there
aro six feet of quartr. that will run
from $1,000 to $2,000 per ton. "
Manager Kilburn said to your cor
respondent: "I do not liKe to say any
thing that will excito the people any
more than they are at present. The
metallic oro body has doubled in size
both ways since yesterday morning-.
Some of the pieces of ore are 80 per
cent gold. I never saw such mineral
and I do not believe that its like was
ever mined in this or any other camp
in the world. We have had no assavs
taken on the rock. But a ton of it
could bo picked out that would run
anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 per
ton.
"Armed guards are watching the
property. 'J he strike was made in the
new ore body at a depth of 850 feet
below the surf tee. The chuto has
b en cut at the seventh level, 200 feet
above, and also at the fifth. At the
latter place an assay was obtained in
the breast of the drift yesterday on
two feet of ore that went better than
$1,0"0 per ton. There ia at least
blocked out between the ninth and
seventh levels i5,0o0,000 worth of
ore."
LEITER OUT OF WHEAT DEAL.

C'LKYJSLASD, Jan. 30. Joseph Lei
ter, tho Cnicigo speculator, in an in
terview here concerning the recent
rie in wheat ia quoted as saying: "I
am not paying any attention to wheat
now. I have dropped that and am
giving my whole attention to the busi
ness of formirg combinations. How
ever, it is no trouble to account for the
rise in wheal. The demand is i-imply
greater than the supply.'
Speaking of his work in forming

s-aid:
"My lat completed wo k was the

Power company. That i?, a company

pressed air is utilized as a motive

Mr. I-e'uer denied that the trusts

"Wtitn imo of these very largo com

DRINKINQ IN FRANCE.
Urowlnr Con.uuipc of Strong: HplrlU
on tlio Iiierr&.t..
The Income received by the 6tate
last year la France from wine. beer,
cider and spirits thows the amount
consumed and Indicates the drinking
habits of different parts of the country,
says the London St. James' Gazette.
While the total consumption ha3 in
creased, beer seems to be gaining on
wine, and spirits on beer. The south
ern departments and the wine-growing
districts still favor the national drink.
In Ilerault 277 liters of wine are drunk
by each inhabitant every year. The
Gironda comes next, with 210 liters. In
tome of the northern departments, on
the other hand, wine is a! a discount.
In the Nord the annual consumption
of bter Is 252 liters a head, and the
neighboring departments follow some
way behind. In ten southern depart
ments beer Is a quantite negllgeable.
Generally speaking the beer-drinking
departments In the north are also at
tlie top of the list for spirits. Each
arisian drinks 202 liters of wine and
seven liters of spirits annually. Cider
drinking is going out of fashion. The
average consumption per head for th?
whole population Is: Wine, eighty
nine liters; beer, twenty-four liters;
chitr, fourteen liters, and spirits, four
liters. Spirits bring most revenue 5
shillingo 8 pence per head, as compar
ed with 3 shillings 2 pence per head for
wine, 6 pence per head for beer, and 3
pence per head for cider. The growing
consumption of strong spirits and the
drunkenness which follows have led
the government to lower the octroi
duty on wine and increase the charge
on alcoholic liquors.

Not a Safe Swimming Pool.
An English officer whose ship was
stationed off the coast of Ceylon went
for a day's shooting along the coast,
accompanied by a native attendant
well acquainted with the country. Com
ing to a particularly Inviting river,
the officer resolved to have a bath,
and asked the native to show him a
place where there were no alligators.
The native took him to a pool close to
the estuary. The officer thoroughly
enjoyed his dip. and while drying him
self he asked his guide why there were
never any alligators in that pool. "Be

galese, "they plenty "fraid of shark."

GAMES OF CHINESE CHILDREN.
Muny itt Tli em the Same a Those
I'layed In America.
There are two theories In regard to
thoso children's games that are found
to be identical in different lands. One
Is that the games are borrowed by the
younger people from the older; the
other, that the games are of Independ
ent Invention. Some light Is shed on
this question by passage from "A
Coiner fJf Cathay." "A game called
the water demon seeking a den I?
played by five persons, precisely like
puss In the corner.' This Is a native
feame, not an Imported one, and no
one knows whether Chinese and Eu
ropean children invented it independ
ntly or whether the knowledge of it
was inherited by both from ancient,
common ancestors. The same may
Le said of 'the cat's cradle,' which is
iii:ide with a string and passed from
one pair of hands to another, precise
ly as anion.? children in America and
Kiiiope; hut the Chinese call It

act in the r-i forrnance. A game in

I.tttte Care Will Keep
Them
Looking Orderly.
j Winter is a difficult season of the
j year for the careful woman who Is
j particularly neat about her trimly
I shod feet. Snow is as disfiguring as
ni!!;l on nicely polished leather and
rubbers certainly do not add to their
cleanly appearance. But a little care
will keep them in orderly nlceness.
When you remove voiir heavv street
hoots, don't toss them awav in the
v loset all rumpled. Take time to
stretch the uppers a trifle to straight
en out the lacing wrinkles. Do the
same with the tongue. Brush off the
dust and if they are damp put them
where a current of air can thoroughly
dry them. Banana skins make an ex
cellent dressing and keep the leather
soft. They are especially nice for
cleaning enameled or patent leather.
If your feet perspire freely use a' good
antiseptic powder freely dusted in the
shoes; it will rest the feet and save
the stocMng. The grime and dust in
the shoestring are very hard on the
hands, as the dirt is ground into the
flesh where the strings are drawn up
tightly. Don't be stingy with shoe
strings. Your dealer will furnish
them free of charge, so change them
often. Besides being clean, they add
greatly to the appearance of the shoe.
Watch your heels and have them re
paired at the first indication of wear
ing off at one side. Nothing so dis
figures your gait or looks more untidy
than run-down heels, besides the shoe
soon loses its shape where the heel
turns and will break where the un
wonted strain is occasioned by the
twisted shoe.
