DRADWOOD , S. D.t Feb. 1C. ( Special. )
The yar 1S06 has opened very auspiciously
for the mining Ir.teroits of the Ulack Hills ,
rind everything points to Its being a record
breaker so far as the production of precious
metals IK concerned. Last year the produc
tion more than met the estimates of the
most eanKtili.e friends of the country , and
while It IM known that the output of gold
elono will approximate nearly $14,000,000 for
IVj.'i , no thought has been given to what the
silver product has betn lor that time. Few
people outside of the Black Hills have any
Idea of the magnitude of the mining opera
tions now being carried on here , as but very
llttlo attention lias been paid to this section
Tiy the world at large , nnd the owners of
Kcod properly and paying reduction plants
seem to have contented themselves with
the golden results of their labors and Invest
ments without hoartlng.
The remarkable occurrence of cold In the
later Cambrian formation , with the uniform
richness which the ore fustalns. has .not
a parallel In any country , and the claims ,
covering an arcs of several square miles ,
nlitre the quarlrlte has not been disturbed
1iy subsequent upheavals of Igneous rocks , Is
fast betcomlng as valuable a tract of real
estate as any In North America. The deep
mining recently Inaugurated In the IJald
mountain and Green mountain districts em-
phaslzea this assertion. It Is the opinion
of many mining men that thcto mines for
A generation to como will bea source of
revenue aud profit tn their owners , grow
ing richer as the work of exploration and
EXPERIENCE ! OF COMPANIES.
One of the companies which ban had the
courage and faith to Invest hundreds of
thousands of dollars In the mining aud mill
ing business In the Ulack Hills during the
past few years , and which elnco Its opera
tions began , hai had In constant employ o
force of 1G5 men , has , during the year 1895 ,
mined and treated from 1U own properties
30,000 tons of ore , yielding a net value of
1800 000 besides treating the output ot oilier
mines. The output of gold from this corn-
piny would have been much larger for the
year wore it Jiot from thn fuel that for a
part of the tlmo Its reduction plants were
lorced to remain Idle while undergoing neces
sary repairs ami addition ? to lt capacity.
The company's mines were never In bettor
condition than now , nnd the ore In sight will
fliifflco to keep Its prewnt plants constantly
employed for many years to come.
The Gold and Silver Extraction , Mining
and Milliner company Is another concern
which for several years past haa contributed
to the successful working of the famous
olllclous ore belt. This company was one
of the first In the world to demonstrate
practically and successfully the adaptability
of the cyanide process to the work of saving
gold and stiver from enclosing ores , and ha *
wade a record In this direction that ha.aeycr
where tlic
licen equalled In any country
process Is In use. The company employ *
fifty men. and Its plant , a email one. dur
ing 1895 , although not In continuous opera
tion , treated 19.000 tons of ore carrying an
average value of $35 per ton. The company
will this year increase the capacity or us
plant , po It Is said , to 100 tons dally.

the company's output for the year at leant

ra MISWRR VENTURES.
Another venture which has alnce its start
ing up proved to bo a paying one Is the
Klldonan chlorlnatlon plant , at Fluma. with
a capacity of 1GO tons dally. It is one of the
most complete plants of its kind In the world.
The plant has been In operation , but a short
time and 'has proven Its excellent qualities as
a ld saver. The mill will be tuad to reduce -
duce ores from mines owned by the Horse
shoe "company , principally , but will treat
cuotom orea to a part of Its capacity. The
milt will treat from 40,000 to 60.000 tons of
ere yearly , which will return a not value
of from $800.000 to $1,200,000. The com
pany at present employes 125 men.
The Dsadbroke Mining company of Central
has bes-n pounding away for the past year on
a body of low grade ore 100 feet whle and
forty.elgbt feet thick with very satisfactory
rerults , milling during that time about 8.000
tons , which have given the company $48,000
" "
"in" the Bald Mountain and Ruby Basin
districts the development has progressed
steadily , and tlm workings have uncovered
nutrcrous veins of high grade slllclous ores ,
the deep workings bearing beyond any ques
tion the existence of Immense bodies. This
small dlitrlct has became famous for nu
merous rich properties , and although the
mines are , as a general thing ; , owned and
are. belnis developed by poor men , it Is n
modest estimate ! to put Its output ot gold
lor the past year nt $2.500,000.
"Yellow Creek. Carbonate , Dead Dog Hill ,
Ida Gray , the Key.stone and other districts
in the southern hills have all come to Uio
front to a wonderful extent , and In each
of the districts are many mines which , were
reduction works available , would be wealth
producers. Especially Is this true In the
Klk Creek and Main and North Dare Butte
creek districts , where during the past few
years very many mines liav& been opened up.
and In all of them good ore bodies have been
uncovered anil In not. a few the character ot
the ore Is ot very high grade.
Never bcfors In the hlitory ot the Black
11111.1 tins so much attention been given to
the opening and the developing of mines ,
and were the necessary means for treating
the orca at hand the demand for skilled
miners could not bo filled. Uut , as It Is ,
many of the mines will bo forced to He Idle
for years , unless capital can for a short
tlmo ha\o Its attention directed from Cripple
Creek , British Columbia and the Trmisv < tnl
and turned toward the Black Hills. Very
promising properties may be had cheaply ,
which by development may be turned Into
paying mines , while the business of reduc

NEW MONTANA STUIKE.
Marvels never cease , judging from the
story of a rich gold strike on Flint creek ,
In the lied Lion district of Deer Lodge
county , Montana , hlch Is confirmed by
later reports of men who visited the locality ,
says a Butte special to the Denver Ucpub-
Ilcan. The big discovery was made by Sam
Snyder , a ycung prospector , who has been
digging around the hills for eight years or
more. About ten weeks ago Snyder's credit
was not worth $5 , but today he Is good for
anything under $1,000,000. Ten weeks ago
he occupied fl cabin with another pros
pector near Phlllpsburg. Their supply of
provisions 'was exhausted ) and the isnow
was so deep that further prospecting for
the winter was out ot the question , and
Snyder's partner declared his friend was
a "hoodoo" and decided to "shako" him.
Snyder took his Hflo and snowshooa and
started out ( o find some game. He struck
the trail of n deer which led him Into
the Cable mountains , and followed It for
ten miles or more , until he reached the
summit of high buttc , where the wind
lind blown the ground bare and ho lost
the trail. He was nbout to turn back
when his eyes caught n yellow streak of
light reflected from some substance near
hla feet , lie had no thought of gold , but
stopped to pick It up. It wan a big nugget
of bright , virgin gold , and the B'ght
of.lt almost unhinged his mind. When he
realized what the find meant ho looked
about for the ledgs which ho knew could
uot bo far away , aud eight feet farther
up he found the outcropping.
"It was just as yellow as the piece I
beld In my hand , " tald Snyder. Ho went
to work , using his gun barrel ns an Im
plement and soon had several pounds more
of the virgin gold , and with It returned
to town and procured supplies and an outfit.
He recently returned to his discovery and
worked It alone for sixteen days , at the end
of which time ho filled his pockets with gold ,
burled the rest and came to IJutte to cele
brate. He gave away to friends several
thousand dollars' worth of specimens and
got $2,12C from a bank for a sack full , and
still had a lot left. Slnco then he returned
to Flint creek , taking some friends with
him , and their reports are that Snyder has
$1,000,000 In sight In ills 10-foot prospect hale
and that the country around there la rich in
gold.
NATURAL BIUDOH GOLD FIELDS.
Indications are "very favorable for the new
mineral district , known as the Natural
Bridge gold fields. It Is Jlkeljr to be one of
the great -wealth producing sections of Mon
tana , says a Livingston special to the Min
neapolis Journal. Minors and prospectors
arriving from there speak In the most ex
travagant terms of the prosperous future In
store for tbat locality. The Natural Bridge
district Is situated thirty-one miles south-
cant from Livingston and embraces a terri
tory about five miles wide and ten mill's
long. Slate mountain , on which all the min
ing locations have been made , extends north
and totitu through the district. At the foot
of tlil mountain and adjacent to the mines
is Froze-to-Dcath creek , a stream which ,
when utilized , will furnish ample water
power to run all mining machinery on the
mountain side.
It is less than two .years ago since tin
flrst location was made In the Natura
Bridge. A largo -portion of Elate mouiitali
has been located and during the past yeaj
extensive development wtrk has been pushed
on several of the properties. During the
winter the work of placing the mines on o
paying bas'o has gone steadily forward with
the most satisfactory results. The rock taken
from all the properties Is free milling and ul
a very rich quality. Several of the mining
companion , whoso properties are pufflclentlj
developed , arc preparing to put up stamp
mills soon.
Frank Drago , a prospector who came In.
from the mines recently , reports a most
Important discovery made In property at the
base of the mountain just below the Minnie
mine. A party of projectors engaged In

It is reported that people In and about
Mount Tauqultz are cottlng ready to leave
the vicinity , as the action of the mountain ,
to say the least , Is very threatening , and
there is no telling at what moment tome-
thins serious will happen , says a San Ber
nardino dlspntch to the San Franclsso Call.
A couple of Indians , who have lived In the
neighborhood of the mountain for some
years , say that for about a month the moun

The name Tauqultz , which Is of Indian

Indian In that valley can bs Induced to approach
preach the mountain. While It has nevw
been In a rtate > of active eruption during

LIKE CRIPPLE CREEK ORE.
Captain W. N. Freeman , a well known
mining man of this city , brought In from his
mine at Cajon mountain , sixty miles north
east , a sack of era that assayed $ I > 00 to the
ten , says n San Diego dispatch to the San
Francisco Examiner. , It was taken from the
bottom of a twenty-foot shaft , and Is a tcl-
lurltc , or calavcrite. abundantly supplied with
pyrites of Iron , The flrst assay from the
ore near the surface , by the cyanide process ,
gave $6.25 per ton , and .gradually grew richer
until It reached the $500 limit. There are
twenty-five tons on the dump that had been
tested In the ordinary way and cast aside
as worthless. The cyanide process shows U
ta bo valuable.
Assayer Anbury has just received camples
of the richest tollurlte ere from Cripple
Creek , and placing the San Diego county
rock alongside of It. experts are unable to
separate the two. The new strike Is about
ten miles from the recent rich developments
near Banner and Ranchlta , and mining men
claim that all thrco mince are on the mother
lead. The shaft In Freeman's mine Is five
and one-half feet wide , and the vein ghows
full across , no walls being discernible. Other
mines In he locality show porphyry and
granlto walls. Prospectors are being "grub

The Washington Mill company , at Port
Hadlock , has received orders for over 4,000-
000 feet of lumber , and expects to start up
the mill In a few days.
Estimates on the amount of wheat In tbe

A young whale Is on exhibition at South
Bend , which was caught In the Willapa rlvor.
It measures fifteen feet and elx Inches. H
was first Ken by 031110 trap fishermen up
the river at Rlverdale , and thot at by them.
Tbe while afterward got vtranded on the
river bank Just above Soutb Bend , but w
still very much a live. U. Q. Norton and
John T. Harrlt went after It , and Norton
managed to get a rope around Its tall. Ho
tied the rope to the boat , and started to
pull the whale off the shore nnd across
the river. As soon as the whale reached
the water , he started down the river for
the ocean. There was a brief tug of war
between Norton nnd the whale , which re
sulted In the boat being nearly swamped
In Its mad career In tow ot the whale.
Fortun&tely the whale had been wounded
by the shots fired at It , and quickly became
exhausted. Prof. Hudson , who wa taxider
mist for the Washington state world's fair
commission , proposes to stuff the whale nnd
exhibit It throughout the state.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Some excitement has been created by the
recent strikeIn Tuner valley , twelve miles
from Nephl , Utah.
A now mine has been discovered near the
famous Colorado group In Sonora , Mexico.
The mine was sold for $25,000 In gold.
Old time placer miners at Juneau , Alaska ,
arc preparing for nn early start In the
spring to the Turnagaln Arm diggings , In
the Cook's Inlet country.
Some very good copper prospects are be
ing developed about twelve miles west of
the Vulture mine. Arizona. The veins are
wide , and carry about 20 per cent copper.
The tramway from the Hall mine to the
Brrolter at Nelson , B. C. , has been completed.
The smelter will have a capacity of 100 tons
a day. The line of the Canadian Pacific
railroad runs directly to the works.
The old Rising Sun mine , a mlle west of
Colfax , Placer county , Cal. , which has pro
duced hundreds of thousands ot dollars , but
has boon some tlmo IdleIs being worked
aqaln. A tunnel has been started to tap
the mine nt the 000-foot level. The starting
point Is near Bear river , and It will take
1,800 feet of tunntl to tap the old works.
Two Stocktonlans , S. A. Brown and Wil
liam Grlilcr , claim to have found a gold and
Eiivcr-ucaring icugo in me wirasi IIUUKU in
Marln county. Cal. , not far from Ballnas.
The assays , alleged to have been made , cliow
$125 to the ton In gold , $56 In silver and $15
In copper. The men pay they will ship In
a few days several tons ot the rock to a
smelter.
Considerable excitement has been created
by the discovery of large holies of high
erado gold and silver ere In Spring and
Eagle valleys , on the line between Utan and
Nevada , southwest of Desert Springs. A
district has been organized and a town laid
out , part of which Is In each state. People
are flocking In from every direction , nnd the
hills are covered with prospectors.
Reports from the oil discoveries on Butcher
creek in the northen part ot Montana , are
that the existence of a great oil field has
been thoroughly demonstrated by L. A.
Dente : , nn expert from Salt Lake , who has
been examining the ground. He eays be
Is satisfied the region will develop some of
the greatest oil wells In tbo world. Eastern
capitalists are negotiating for a bond on
some of the property.
Advices from the Alaskan gold fields re
ceived at Juneau state that a scarcity of
provisions Is again threatened before the
opening of spring. As the first supply that
can be looked for would not arrive before
about Juno 15 , and as no fresh1 supplies will
bo obtainable until a month later , much suf
fering may result for the 1,200 men now
wintering In the district. In case of accident
happening to the ocean vessel bringing tbe
supplies to St. Michael's , or to the river
steamer taking them to the dlggins , nothing
uliort of actual starvation would stare them
lu the face. On September 15 all the atores
were out ot potatoes , and it was feared
scurvey would harrass many lu consequence.
To ward off such danger , ono man , John
McGregor , paid $100 for a sack of potatoes ,
and moose meat was selling at GO cents per
pound.
RAILROAD MATT1211S.
The Vc of Creoaotrd CroHX 'Pica on
Rnllwuy Trnclcii.
The annual expense ot renewing cross-tics
on railway tracks Is so great , exceeding that
of rail renewals , that increased attention U
being paid to methods of preserving the wood
In tbe tics. One of the old processes for ac
compllshing this end has recently been
brought into 'some prominence by reason
of Its adoption by tbe Pennsylvania road for
such timber as it needs to have treated with
a preservative. The 'liquid ' employed for
the purpose Is called woodlllne , and has a
peculiar penetrating quality. In 1883 some
oak ties painted with It were laid In two
places on the Amboy division of tbe Penn
sylvania road , uupalntod ties being inter
spersed among them so as to afford a means
of determining the effect of the liquid. All
tba treated tics are said to be still in very
good condition , although the average life of
untreated oak ties at these places is abcut
eight years. While merely painting
the wood produced euch good ro-
eults , the railroad company now uses
a special tank for Impregnating the
timber with tbe woodlllne , although on ac
count of Its penetrating power it is un
necessary to use vacuum chambers and
largo appliances , such as are employed for
creosotlng timber. An Iron tank about 35
feet long. C feet wide and C feet deep IB
built with Its top about two feet above the
surface of tbe ground. A small power plant
Is located near this tank , and furnishes
steam fpr several heating cells In the tank
as well AB power for operating a small
crane by which the timber Is handled. The
crcss-tlis are well seasoned and moderately
dry wl.vn they are sent to be treated. They
are lifted by tbe crane In' bundles of six ant !
placed In the -woodlllno with which the tank
Is fined. The ties are left for ten to flf.
teen minutes In the bath , during which thnn
a hard white or black oak tic will absorb
a llttlo more than a gallon of tbo liquid.
This not only penetrates the pores and acts
as n. preservative , but Is said to coagulate
the albumen of the tup Into a hard , resin
ous substance. The cost of the process IB
abaut 15 cents a tie , but certain modifica
tions now bslng Introduced by the Pennsyl
vania road are expected to reduce the cost
to 12V& cents.
Oil llurnliiK Joooiii ( lvi' .
The oil burning locomotives on the An-
pelej Terminal railway continue to show'
a great saving in operating and fuel ex
penses , as compared with their records when
burning coal , which Is not ourprislng , In
view of the fact that coil costs $7.50 a ton
In that locality , whllo the oil costs but $1
to $1.30 a barrel. Six locomotives are fltteJ
with the Holden system of biri : < vs , fr&t
uaad on tbo Great Eastern railway of Eng
land , and two with tbo Baldwin system. The
oides and front of the firebox are lined with
flrabrlck. a 2-inch air space being left be
tween the brick and the metal to prevent
the later from being burnt. The grntea are
covered over with brick , except a space of
; 8x24 Incite * , which is left open In order to
dmlt air for thn combustion of the garoi.
Kioh of the burners consists of three concentric -
centric tubes. The Inilde tube admits air
to the flame , the annular l > aca between the
Inulilo and middle tube furnlshoj a passage
for the steam , and the annular space between
the middle and outDlde tube forms the pasr-
ago for the oil. Thene thrco openings load
to a mixing tube. In which tbe oil iteain and
ulr ar thoroughly mingled before they jiaes
to the firebox , where they are burned In it
jet thrown horizontally. across the box to
the opposite hrlckivor'c. About
twenty-threo and one-fourth barrels cf oil ,
equivalent to EOVCII tons of coal , Is carried
on a tender In a tank llttsJ with B tea in
boating no I If. Arrangements are als ) made
for maintaining a pressure of about seven or
eight poundon / the surface of the oil. Un
der the combined Influence of tha uteam
heat and tbo air presiuro It IB possible to
bum ollt ) go heavy that there lu practically
no use for them In a crude uUtJ. In f.rli'E
up a cold locomotive of tblf sort , the burn-
era have to bj supplied with steam from
other locomotive orfrom a holler In the
round houre.
Ciirx In
The way In which travelers are brought
to a comfortable dcgroj of heat In European
railway cars U from the feet upwards. Tbe
traveler , in fact , bu to ba wanned Instead
of the car , Tbe absurdity of tbe Inversion
of the cornmon-ien&e process strikes the
American quite as much as Its Inconvenience
and inefficiency , but the natives take It SB
a matter of couise that the only way to
keep a man from freezing in a railway car
In to clve him a foot-wanner. An Engllnh
paper complains that the antiquated and
troublesome system of warming with water
pans I * still employed , especially on local
and suburban lines , while on tb ether aide
of the channel , tbe French are becoming
actually scientific In their
car-heating meth
ods. It appears that an innovation has been
Introduced on many of the French lines , to
the great satisfaction ot the traveling pub *
lie. U has been found that hydrated baryta
Is a better retainer of heat than tha acetate
of soda , hitherto employed In the foot-warm
ers of railway trains and omnibuses on the
continent. The acetate of sodn can bo sup r-
fueed And remain liquid at a lower tempera
ture than Its fusing point , without rendering
back Its heat ; but the baryta never misbe
haves In this way , and weight for weight
with the acetate ot soda , It stores up A
larger quantity ot heat. Its pMnt ot fusion
Is , moreover , higher than that ot the acetate
ot sodn. The difference In the power ot
retaining heat between the English hot-water
pan , and the new French foot-warmer Is
shown by the fact that whereas a warmer
containing water cooled from 100 degrees to
SO degrees Fahrenheit , In about six hours ,
the hydrated baryta pan took fifteen hours.
In other words , the baryta pan remains hot
twice tbo tlmo that the water pan does. The
pan Is sltnply filled with the baryta once
for nil , and then seated alr-tlght. It Is
heated by plunging It In boiling water for
a time , nnd Is then ready for use ,

At the West Milwaukee shops ot the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway n fcinall
rolling mill has recently been built for the
purpose of utilizing scrap nmteTlnl to better
advantage than selling It as Junk. At this
mill large sizes of round Iron are rolled
down Into rods ot such sizes ns are tiled
In the cir nnd locomotive' works. The old
material consists of bridge rods from Hone
trusses that have been replaced by more
substantial structures , old car links , which
are cut nt each end before being boated , nnd
similar scrap of good quality. The new ma
terial Is produced at nn average cost of > 4 n
cent n pound , and Is said to be of better
quality than the grade of Iron which would
bo bought for the purposes to which It Is
applied. The plant consists of a furnace
fourteen fret lone outside * nnd two feet ten
tnches wide Inside , a rod mill with a pair
of rolls twelve Inches In diameter and thirty
Inches long , and a twenty-nlnc-horse power
olectrlo motor , which drives tne mill. The
motor is belted to a countershaft attached
to a timber frame , csnltvl on tbo lower
chcrtis of the roof trusses , and n boll from
this countershaft drives the fly wheel of the
mill at a epeed of ISli revolutions a minute.
Although the rolls now In use are but thirty
Indies long , the bed of the mill Is designed
to allow the use of Forty-four-lnch rolls ,
should such lengths bo desired , The current
for the electric motor Is furnished by a
dynamo In ono of the engine rooms ot the
elop , which supplies curirnt for other pur
poses also. By usluir electricity It was un
necessary to provide a special mill steam
engine , and the furnace and rolls could bo
located In the most advantageous place ,
without regard to the arrangement of the
steam piping. The motor Is cared for by the
rolling mill hands , who have merely to start
and stop it and to sec that It is oiled.

Hero la one Mr. Depew told to every for
eign statesman he met whllo abroad : "The
most curious person in the audience of a
story teller Is the literal-minded man. When
General Dlx ran for governor there was great
discussion regarding his age. It was one of
the controversies of the canvass. H's op
ponents claimed that he was too old to fulfill
tbe functions of the ofllee. Singularly enough ,
the blogiaphlcal dictionaries differed about
ten years. I was making a speech at Water-
town to a very big audience. I was running
at tbat time for lieutenant governor as a
liberal republican upon the same ticket with
Francis Kcrnan. It was an Immense out
door audience. In front of me stood n man
who watched me during the three hours of
that speech for the purpose of catching me
on some material point.
"I finally took up the question of General
Dlx's age , gave the dates of the various bio
graphical dictionaries and encyclopedias' and
based a theory on how old he must have been
in the wpr of 1812 , where ho was a lieutenant ,
and finally said that the only really authentic
date had been revealed by unme recent re
searches In the colonial records of Marea-
chusetts It had been discovered that whcu
tha pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth rock
they found General Dlx standing on that
historic spot and shouting that unless they
made him justice of the peace ho would go
over nnd join the Indians the point of which
waa that tbo general had changed politic ; '
many timep , and every time he got an ofllca.
"My critical friend saw his opportunity and
grasped It nt once. He sprang up with a
about that could be heard to the Canadian
border.
" 'Mr. Depew , that Is a He ! ' ho shouted.
"I looked at him a moment to see whether
no naa swaliowca tnc Dan , anil round tnat
be had taken It In , book , line , bob and sinker ,
pole and all. Then I stepped to the front
of the platform and said , with great emphasis
and Indignation :
" 'Sir , I have told that historic anecdote
from Montauk Point to Niagara FallJ , to
hundreds and thousands of educated people
of this great commonwealth , and you are the
only man who ever had the audacity to deny
It. '
" 'It ain't true. Mr. Depew , 'cause that
happened more than 250 years ago , ' returned
my critic.
"I was told when In Watertown last fall
that that man bad never been able to come
to town since. "

There is a eort of freemasonry nmong
people belonging to what Is known as the
"smart set , " aud they have almost an
"argot" of their own , with the shibboleths
and passwords that happen to bo in the
fashion for the moment , and which , before
they an even perceived by outsiders , pass
out of oxUlrnce.
One of the chief and most marked char
acteristics of the day , ono which up to a
certain point is certainly desirable nnd crm-
mendable , Is an entire want of affectation
In the majority of this "sot. " It seems to
bo "the thing" just now to bo quite genuine
and natural , and It Is considered bad form
tn ba otherwise. Anglomania , which was
rlfo a few years ago , seems to have disap
peared entirely , and tbe men and women of
the leisure class are today frankly and de
cidedly American. All this Is , as has been
raid , commendable , the drawback being that
this naturalness , If one may call it so , is apt
to go too far among Intimates , and become
a little too free and easy , wbllo mllacly'jj
"pretty oath by yea or nay" does not sound
well in modern larguogo for
so an up-to-
date woinau does not hesitate at "darn , " or
oven stronger expressions evoked by an un
successful "drive , " at golf , or some other
clrcumstanco equally trying
It Is also fablilonablo now to be rather en
thusiastic , not to say gushing , to thank pco-
plo profusely for an Invitation , or to regret ,
"les larmes aux ycux" If obliged to refuse.
Fablilonablo women call each other by their
Chrlutlan names on very short acquaintance ,
and drop the "Mm. " with these who are In
their set almost Immediately ; ciid even men
uro olten called "Jock" or "Billy , " as the
caoe may be , by their wives' friends. In fact ,
nil that U stilted and conventional Is out of
date , and everything Is charmingly friendly
and familiar within the "set , " but decidedly
stiff and arctic outside of it , for kindly caur-
teuy to a stranger Is not one of the character
