One of these is to the effect that some of the drifts be tween Loup City and St. Paul were from 25 to 35 feet high in some of the cuts, and the rotary cut tunnels through some of them, which finally caved in only after the snow had melted from succeed ing warm weather, .lust where the snow went that the rotary cut loose and fired upwards and on either side, the truthful liars say npt; probably carried it through the enforced tunnel and deposited it beyond. Accommodating ro tary, eh ? Fewer Women Than Men Color Blind. "Where one. in thirty women is slightly color blind one in five men is •o.” The physician continued his experi ments with the testing machine. "You.” he said, "can't tell green from blue pud are therefore defective, sir. but you are not absolutely color blUrd. Absolutely color blind persons are very, very rare. 1 l ave met but one.

From Shasta to San Diego, all the way along the shores of the Pacific bcean there is gold in the black sand which, for the greater part of the length of the state, underlies the gra> and yellow sand of the beach. This hqs been known to mining men for a tcore of years or more, but ever since they found it out they have been coni pletely baffled in all efforts to get it. The values in the sand are low. not more than 25 cents per ton. and the sea washes heavily over all manner of structures which are set up on the beach to separate the sand from its sold. These were the two principal jbstacles to be overcome: To find a machine which would withstand th«* itorms of winter and the tides of •umraer and at the same time be deli :ate enough to draw the gold from the black mass of the beach. At last, however, the riddle has been tolved. despite the wrecking of one if the plants with which the work was commenced, and a recent, clean-up >f one day's run of 1,000 tons of black • and paid $200 over and above all ex oenses. The full value of the gold in he sand, could jt have been entl-oly ■emoved, would have been $250, the tctual amount taken out was about $225 worth, making the cost of hand ing that 1.000 tons of sand a trifle nore than three cents a ton, the .•beapest mining yet known to man.— Technical World Magazine. SOME LARGE FRENCH FAMILIES. Official Statiatica Give Figure* That Are Rather Surprieing. Small families are the rule in France, but there are some striking exceptions. The following data were taken by Consul Chapman Coleman of Roubalx from the latest official sta tistics of the pop .ation of France. According to these statistics the total population of France is 38,350,788. The female sex exceeds the masculine in numbers, the figures being, respec tively, 19,533,899 and 18,816,889. On the other hand, an excess in the num ber of unmarried is shown on the mas culine side, the res: jctlve figures be 9.917,178 and 9.114.356. There are 2, 384,897 widows and divorced women, As against 1,005,884 widowers and di vorced men. The number of French families Is 9.781,117, of which 1,?14.778 are with out children: 2,249,"’7 have but one child; 2,018,665 have two; 1,246,264 have three; 748,841 have four; 429.799 have five; 248,159 have six; 138.769 have seven; 71,841 have eight, and 33,917 have nine children. These fig ures represent, In a rapidly decreasing proportion, the number of families having a large num' r of children. For about two-thirds of the families of France the average number of chil dren does not exceed three; while for About 1% per cent, of them the aver Age number is seven, and for less than one per cent of the families, eight chil dren. Twenty-four families are re corded, however, as possessing 17 and 84 as possessing 18 children. Wo received :i neat little birth [card last week announcing the ar rival of a bab.v girl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown at Friend, on the 7th of this month. The host of friends of Arthur in this city and county, where lie was born and grew up to manhood, will tender sincere congratulations over his first-born. W. L. Greenlee was down from Arcadia Monday on business matters. He has now graduated from the banking business into the insurance field. How are the mighty fallen. Bro. Greenlee used to be a glorious printer and Sir Knight of the Quill, from that downward in his mad flight into the banking business and now tumbles over that lower cleft into the awful abyss where he has at present landed. Pardon our emo tion, but how could ho? Frank Robbins was over from Greeley county last week, called by the death of his loved father. Frank had much difficulty in get ting here because of the big storm. He made the trip from his farm, nine miles northwest of Greeley to that town on horseback, being unable to make the distance by team, hence could not bring his family with him. From Greeley to St. Paul he made by train, and from St. Paul to Loup City, in I order to get here in time for the obsequies, he had to smuggle him j self through as one of a gang of workmen on a snow plow. Among the many good tilings connected with the court house proposition which was placed be fore the people last year, when the campaign for a new building was before the people of this coun ty, one of the many arguments favoring its building was that of a rest room for farmers’ wives. Here’s the way the Tribune s|ieaks of that important part of the court I house in Fremont: The farmers’ wives who come to Fremont to trade are finding a real convenience in the comfort able and commodious waiting room in the courthouse. It is also a good social clearing house for those from out of town. And yet the rest room was one of the greatest objections .of many of our farmer friends in the con temptation of a new court house. Urgent Notice Mothers should see to it, that the whole family take at least 3 or 4 doses of a thorough, purifying, system cleaning medicine this spring. * Now is the time. The family will be healthier, happier and get along bet ter if the blood is given a thorough purifying, the stomach and bowels cleaned out, and the germsof Winter, accumulated in the system, driven away. Hollister’s Ilockv Mountain Tea is tiie very best andsurest, Spring Remedy to take. Get it and see the difTeience in the whole family. Their color will be better, tliev’l feel fine and be well and happy. 35 ots. The best in the world ever.
