The ww-m had considerable trouble
with tlK-ir superintendent, a burly or

Ad otteaa happen in ((old mines the
vein was "pockety," lieing very rich
iu twme spots and liar-en in ether.
It was while running throng on.- of
these barren streaks that "l:ig Jim,"

a dispute with the owners as to the
proper course t- i.e to lind the pay

the owner, as wasai a ays tlie cast- hni

was that Jim received hisconge the day

"Look here," remarked one of the
puftuers to me one day, after our new
superintendent had Ix-en wit ii us about
a week, ''I don't think that that new
scientist milling expert of yours knows
any more about tniiiingthau a I'iuie In

myself had grave (Wtlbts on the subject.
Mr. Jackson obtained some remark
able assays from rock that wouldn't
show a "color" iu the pan, and when I
sought to pin hint dow n to any definite
ipiestioii as to the value of ores he gave
evasive answers. He was ecrtaiidy mi
expert at dodging questions if at noth
ing else.
In the meantime "Hig Jim"' had
begged hard to bo taken back, promis

"1 don't know nothin' about them air
assays," said he, "but yer kin la-t yer

Jim was rtartieimarly severe on our
new siicjii)tcndeirt, claiming that he
(Mr. Jackson) couldn't tell a gold mine
from a brass kettle. In (his Jim was
right, as the seo,ue4 will show.
Shortly after thin JTr. Jackson came
rushing over to the cabin one morning
with a number of bright pieces in his
hand. Was it possible, thought I, that
a rich pocket had been found:
"What's tho matter, Jackson'" 1
asked.
"Vou "ve got tho richest, mine in the
world, sir," said he. "Look at these

"Why, you tarnation fool," broke in
a voice over my shoulder, "that's brass.'
It was Jim w ho spoke. He had evi

A gentleman having a thorough
knowledge of the HritisR cattle market,
in writing from liverpool, furnishes
some interesting facts as to the Hril
ain's food supply, says an Ottawa uor
resM)tidelit of the New Vork Mm. He
says;
"In a recent address given In-fore 1he.
Croydon Fanners' ciub, Major Craigie,
w ho is invariably vvell informed upon
them- matters, said that of every loo
pounds of butchers' incut consumed in
the ("nit cd Kingdom nearly seventy
foiir pounds are produced from houie
grnwn stock, w hiie only seven poundu
are produced from live cattle which en
this country, the balance licing im
ported in the form of dead meat. The
dead meat trade is extremely expansive
as show n by the fact tiiat twenty years
ago the whole dead meat trade amoun
ted to only i;-J,imii tons, whereas last year
it had risen to :',,( i tons, or mai ly six
times the former amount. Outheoihir
hand, in lsiill the live stock from abroad
furnished only TT.mKi t.n.s of meat, and
lust year the supply from the same
vmrce was only I :".) tons. Speaking
of the prKluction of meat iu this coun
try. Major Cragiti calculates thai for
every thousand head of cattle produced
by the licit ish farmer, i'o tons of tn-ef or
veal is placed on the market. Iu a sim
ilar Wrty every l.fMisheep produced 12'..
tons of meat, and every l.nm pigs pi-educed
not fur short of Tntunsin one form
or another. I'pon this basis Major
Craiifie assutns that the total home.
made trade would amount to l,Ulu,taa
tons of which aiSSnjiJ would be beef.
We have already seen that tne foreign
live-meat trade is re)reseni-d by I.'iT.
r ) tons, and the dead-meat trade by
txio tons, so that the nation consumes
from all sources l,7vi,OnO tons of meat
in the year. And yet these figures may

"I recently met Henry l'almer, an oM
California friend and one of the Argo
nauts, who told me he had abandoned
the West and settled in St. Lawrence
county," says a w riter in the .New Vork
Slur. What are you doing up there?"
I asked. He excited my curiosity by re.
plying, "Working a paper mine."
"When I was a boy 1 worked in a pa,r
mill at Camden and became familiar
with the clays used for sizing and weigh
ting paper. 1 concluded a short time
ago to leave California and sjiend I ho
balance of my days in the Kast. While
on a visit to St. Lawrence county 1 was
riding one day along it new road which
had been cut for some distance through
a peculiar formation of soft white rock,
t examined it carefully under the micro
scope and found that it was llbrons, and
seemed peculiarly adapted to paier
making. I had tests mi deny manufac
tures, who reported favorably, so I
bought the land and began mining; we
are now shipping over a hundred t ons a
day, atid it is rapidly displacing the clays
formerly used, as its librous nature
makes it a part of the w arp and weft of
the paper, instead of sizing only. No
other such deposit is known in the country."

Major J. "W. Powell, the director of the
United States geological survey, contrib
utes an article to the March Century on
"The Irrigable Lands of the Arid Re
gion:" The. Snake or Shoshone river
heads in the great forest clad mountains
of Wyoming and runs across the line into
Idaho, then passes quite across the terri
tory until it, becomes the boundary line
liet ween Idaho and Oregon. Passing the
northeastern corner of the last men
tioned state, it enters the state of Wash
ington, and runs westward for a long
reach until it debouches into the Col
umbia. The Shoshone river is one of
great volume, aecond only to the Colo
rado. Reservoir sites along its course
in Wyoming and Idaho have already
been revealed by the surveys, and it is
already shown that in the upper region
w ater can be stored to au amount of
more than 2,MiO.0O0 acre feet. This
will irrigate at the first usago at least
2,01111,00(1 acres of land; and if they be
properly selected so that the waters can
be collected again and again after serv
ing the land, the area redeemed will be
more than 4,000,000 acres. . There, are
many other tributaries below that have
not yet been examined, and it is safe to
say that tho waters of the Shoshone
w ith its tributaries may tilt imately serve
from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 acres. Iu
its utilization three classes of problems
are involved. If the waters are taken
out in small canals near to the river,
and the lowlands served first, and prior
rights and interests established on such
lands, then but a small part of the stream
can be used, and the greater part will
run away to the Facilic ocean; and sub
sequently the region of irrigation can be
enlarged only by buying out vested
water rights scattered along the course
of the river. But if at the very begin
ning the water can be taken out high
up the river and carried in great canals
to either side and there distributed to
the higher lands, and used over and over
agiin on its return, a complete utiliza
tion can be, secured, and the cost of the
construction of the system of irrigation
by reservoirs and canals will be greatly
reduced per acre. To irrigate 2,000,000
acres of lattd near to the river by short
canals along its course here and there
will cost more than half as much as the
construction of hydraulic works that
will serve from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000;
while the scattered minor works will be
forever subject to destruction by the
floods, and the agriculture secured
will be of less value per acre, because
the best lands w ill not be served, and
only imperfect drainage will be secured.

mule of life size, supposed to have won
derf ul healing properties. Patients suf
fering from every imaginable disease
seek this temple to obtain a cure. Tho
method pursued is as follows: Suppos
ing you suffer from sciataca, you go
with all speed to this famous temple,
and having discovered the particular
part of the brass mule corresponding to
ths painful region of your own body,
you must rub the animal a certain num
ber of times and then with the same
hand shampoo your own disabled mem
ber, and then well, then the pain goes.
The special feature, of this method of
cure, is its delightful simplicity. Is your
tooth aching? -lust scrub the mule's
teeth and then your own, and voila!the
cure is complete. Have you an ulcer on
the cornea? Pass the tips of your lin
gers to and fro over the particular eye
ball of the mule, and then with well
regulated pressure, rub repeatedly the
aftlicted eye.
The mule has unhappily lost his sight
during the many years he has been en
gaged in his lienevolent work, the eye
balls, we are told, haveing been gradu
ally worn away, as the result of con
stant friction, until now you havo only
tho empty sockets to operate upon. -
The animal is patched in. all direc
tions with fresh pieces of brass put on
to cover holes produced by the constant
friction of eager patients, and a new,
perfectly whole mule stands ready at
hand, awaiting the day when his old
colleague, having fallen to pieces in
the temple, shall give him an opportu
nity ojf likewise benefitting posterity.

The following remedy is said to bo
the best known, at least it is worth try
ing, for physicians seem powerlei-s to
cope with the disease successfully. At
the first indication of diptheria in the
throat of a child make the room close;
then take a tin cup and pour into it a
quantity of tar and turpentine, equal
parts. Then hold the cup over a fire so
as to fill the room with fumes. The
little patient, on inhaling the fumes
will cough up and spit out all the mem
branous matter, and the diptheria will
pass off. The fumes of the turpentine
loosen the matter in the throat, and
thus afford the relief that has baffled
the skill of physicians- Scientific
