SMOKELESS POWDER.
Ita Advantage*** **??1 IMsawlvakritaarea For th
Sportanian Described.
According to n Sportsmen's ReviCN
writer, smokeless DOW dat is confusing!
varying. If the ride is used on a warr
day, it shoots with smokeless BO1T0B
With flat trajectory and groat penetni
th n. but ona cold day it BBBBB1 to h
frozen, stiff and shoots differently, tali
ing a high trajtvtory and giving les
penetration, and BO the smoke less pow
der user would do well BO take a thei
BBObbbSBB* along marked with the varin
tion of inches in the trajectory. Th
smokeless powder, would bc -worth th
trouble, evidently, rnrmnrft "the bulk
fired by IO grams of the smokeless tor.
a third larger hole than the bullet lire
by 75 grains of black powder." Thu
means that B deer shot in the paunc
with a 4f> caliber bullet driven b
smokeless would die in half the tim
that one shot with a black powder drn
en bullet would, because tho shock is I
much greater with the swifter snioki
oall. which literally flies BO piece;
Another thing about the smnkclc
DOWdd is not inconsiderable.
"It was as good a hold as over
made,'' tho experimenter writes, ".m
the antelope wilt?-d in his tracks. Ti
band bunched up and ran in a semiei

yards) from me, and I got in two 11101
smokeless shots, :uid thin hy Baistnl
one of black powder. I knew the latt*
immediately, for on firing it thc 2(
animals disappeared fan a cloud of BBBOl
that only dissipated as Bbs tail end i
the lot hObbsd over tho hill crest I hi
killed every ono that I shot at." Wh
all smokeless powder sholls, ho wou
have got two moro shots anyhow.
In tho woods more so than on tl
plains tho smoke of a gun is distressin
especially when the game ison tho hu
tiing jump. Moro than ono man li
jumped sideways after each shot to g
another bSOBjBBS of the smoke. A bi

ronduck runway jumped down a 10 fo
bank, striking in waist deepwater, th
be Blight get another shot at the dot
The last shot killed the doer as it lan

brush. It was a still day, with no win
and the live shots fired left a cloud
smoko in tho air for 15 minutes after.
Origin of Barber Poles.
An English gentleman of letters h
recently evolved from the musty ptuj
of history some new and exceeding
interesting data regarding the origin
tho gaudy barber polo. Its first bogi
nings, this geiitleiniui says, were in t
days of the barber surgeons. In eal
times, the tradition goos, both medici
and surgery wore in the hands of bi
bers, BB indeed they continued to be 1
many centuries afterward. Tho old tl
ory was that the men of the razor wt
the worthiest to handle the lancet, a
even in the middle ages the lancet w
tho one groat instrument of medicii
as blood letting was ono of tho cb
practices of the time.
In the days of old, during tho opel
tion of bleeding the patient used
grasp a stick whioh the barber surge
kept ready for use that the pain Bal]
be lessened, in just the same way as
tho days lief oro chloroform was inve:
ed people undergoing a severe operatJ
frequently chewed load bullets. Aron
this stick was twined a supply of bi
dagos for tying np the arm of tho patie;
When not in usc, tho polo was hung
the door as a sign. In the course of ti
a painted staff was displayed instead
the ono actually used during the ope

A MINER WHO PUT IN FIFTY YEARS
AT GOLD HUNTING.

and Finger*.
Cat herod in and around Butt? aro
mon -who have mined ni almost
country under tho sun: but, although
charming conversationalists in BBB sV>
f their friends, for some unac?
countable reason they become suddenly
dnmb when approached hy a newspaper
man. It was a reporter's luck
to run against one who talked in an in?
teresting way. He was a largo, rather
fine looking man, apparently ah>ut 70
?f ago, mitl a man who bB#] watch?
ed with elOBB interost the progress of
mining on tho Pacific coast since tho
historic days of 1849.
"Yes, [ was out in C'alifomyin tha
old days," he replied to a qwwtion, and
then added with a pleasant smile: "I
was thar from 1*40 to i.889 and look all
the courses, from pan to little giant and
from handmade black powder cartridges
BO diimymite.
"When gold was discovered hy Mar?
shall in that tail race mid Suttor van dig?
ging for his sawmill at Oolomn, not a
man in that country knew a tiling aliont
mining. Never heard how tiny knew
it was gold, hey? Well, thaws lias boon
a great many stories told about it, but
is the ri?ht ono: It was a. little
unawei tl picked up, worth $3 or
if 1 Each OBS of the gang looked at if,
bit it, tasted it, rubtx-d it, smelled it,
but none of them hod a clear Idas what
it w :us. Several thought it might bo
gold, but none was sure of it. A happy
thought struck Marshall. Mrs Weber
Im>urded the hands. She was making
soft soap from pine ashes lye. Marshall
proposed the buly should boil tho nug?
get in lye a day or two, mid if it didn't
change color or lose its substance in the
test it w;ls BBre enough gold. Well, it
stood the test. The world knows the
rest.
"Among BBS first on the ground was
a lot of greasers, a cross between Mex?
icans' and a lower claws of humans, God
knows they were all low enough, but
BBB cross was no improvement on the
general run of thc cattle. Thu greaser
brought his willow made pan and knife
as his mining tools. He cut andaVJBBJBBd
among crevice* of rocks at thc water's
edge for 'chispas.' or, as we c:ill thom,
'nuggets.' An enterprising white man
made a 'rocker.' That was a groat im?
provement over the willow pan and
knife. In the fall of 1849 picks, shovels,
iron pans and sheet iron for r<* ker
Bereena had boon shipped in from tho
outside. Rockers sold for taBBSt CQasBBBj
shovels half an ounce BJBBBBB, picks the
same; pans for a quarter of au ounce,
gum IxHits an ounce a pair mal whisky
a pinch a drink. That was thc price in
mining camps. A pinch was what a
hark(Mjsr eon ld take between his fore?
finger and thumb. They had l?ig fingers
aud thumbs in those tlays, ami a bar?
keeper's salary was measured by their
size. Wages was an ounce a day.
"Tho '(reorgia bunvjier' displaced tho
rocker. It was something like a nx'ker,
but much larger, and natl several 'rif
iles' to catch the gold. Tho ends of thc
rockers bump against blocks of wood
to jar the gravel in the w roon and bc
twivn riffles. A bumper c>?t *200, a
wheelbarrow two ounces, and a China
pump $25. That made a bumper min?
ing outfit. The bumper didn't BBB long,
for tho 'Long Tom' soon took its place.
That was a stationary affair, with a long
? in which the 'pay dirt' was
thrown. Water was conducted QB tho
scriH'n, the 'wash' falling through the
perforations while one of the hands
forked out the rocks or small stones.
"A sluice or two were added to the
Tom. These, as well as the Tem, were
supplied with riffles, which p norally
caught al Hint all the dust. Long Toms
irst used in Nevada City in 1850.
Improvements in modes of placer min?
ing rapidly followed. Sets of sluices
without the Toms wert usid, then
ground sluicing came BBSS, and hydrau?
lic mining, whore water and fill could
bs obtained, displaced tho rocker, bump?
er and Tom. Hydraulic mining is tui
old thing now."
"How about underground mining?"
inquired tho lepOCBBT,
"Gold bearing quartz was first dis
rovered by some miners in the beti of
Deer creek, IkIow Nevada City, in tho
summer of 1880. lt was found in a nar?
row vein, but the discovery ltd BO tho
opining up of the magnificent gold bear?
ing quartz minos of Grass valley in No
vada county. All the equipments' of tho
mines wore at first crude, but tho minot;
were rich and paid well. Black powder
was used in blasting whore blasting was
ary. Some years after nitroglyc?
erin was introduced in the state, but
an explosion of the stuff faa a Sail Francis?

A German's Account of a Wonderful Fisl
Found In tba Nile.
In an article in Heber Land uni
Moor on "Electrical Phenomena In th
Animal World," Dr. Frolich tells abou
a sucker first found in the Nile and it
tributaries by modern scientiflo men i
1881, but well known to the anciou
Egyptians as the "sucker thunder*
god," being worshiped as such in
sucker god temple in the city of th
thunder sucker, or Oryrrhyncaos. Th
n they called it the thunder encl
or, instead of the "thunder Ash, "wt
because they know of another fis!
known to the English speaking peon]
as the electric cat (fish), to theGermai
as the zitterwels, or the shad thi
makes one tremble. It grows to a longt
of about a foot, of whieh thc head an
nose take up a quarter, and at tho doe]
est part measures more than a quart
of its length.
Just why the modern scientific m<
did not know of this fish before ia
question a layman finds it hard to ai
swer except that the sucker is a bottoii
fi sli. The obi Egyptians probably learnt
of tho animal after a Nile flood, win
some philosopher was meditating ov
a mud puddle left by the receding w
tor. He saw a funny fish struggling
tho water, and, out of a desire f
knowledge, reached for the fish ai
touched it. If there were any discipl
of tbe philosopher hard by, they prob
bly saw the philosopher act surprisin
ly?as the stoic Indian did when he g
hold of a galvanic battery. Thcreaft
the fish was worshiped, having a nar.
which associated it with the "thund
god of the skies," although the aneiei
knew nothing of electricity according
the learned of today.
A peculiar thing about tho vario
electrical fish is that should one swh
even at a considerable distance from
human bathfsr, the bather would knt
of its proximity by an ' 'electrical se
aation," while many of them have bi
tories actually flt to kill a horse on Ot
tact These fish are far ahead of the 1
man beings in the matter nt wea poi
"for they stun their prey at a great d
tancs In the water''_

about their sweethearts or intended
husband. Do not keep company, mar?
ry or go into business until you know
all. do uot let silly religious scruples
prevent your consulting.
Madame is the only one in the world
who can tell you the FULL NAME of
your future husband, with age and
date of marriage, and tells whether
the one you love is true or false.
There are some persons who believe
that there is no truth to be gained
from consulting a Medium, but such
beliefs are contrary to the truth. Ii ia
only from the lack of discrimination
that such a conclusion can be reached.
lt is not every one who placards him?
self or herself as a medium that can
stand a test of what he or she claims.
And a person of an enquiring mind
may ask the reason why. It is simply
that these advisers do not take the
trouble to study human nature. They
do not spend their thoughts for a mo?
ment with acquiring the art of phrenol
ogy and kindred branches that will
have a tendency to make the pathway
to the road of the business clear and
devoid of all obstacles.
It is an undeniable fact that persons
will come for ad vice-in full knowledge
of what they want to know, and yet as
soon as they confront a Medium they
try their utmost endeavor to dispel
from their minds what they know so
as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the
Medium. To get the secret oat of a
person by "pumping" in no few eases
is the art used by many unprincipled
mediums, but to take hold of the head
and gain control of the mind thereby is
a matter of impossibility to most of
them. And yet this can be done and
by consulting MRS. MARTH the seem
ing mystery becomes a realization.
This subject has received no little
attention by eminent men and even
college professors. So it proves eon*
elusively that although there are in*
f ringers in our midst with'oily tongues'
perhaps the gates of wisdom have not
been closed to the entire profession.
It takes a great deal of study to be?
come an accomplished medium and by
a continuous and untiring effort, the
key to the well of apparently unfa?
thomable mysteries has been secured
by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of
humanity.
