Oscar Stephens made a trip to the
city on Friday. Mr. Stephens is
heavily interested in mining property
at the mouth of the Collar gulch at
Maiden and is confident that his
property is one of the best in the dis
trict. Pete Rosseau is interested
with Mr. Stephens^in thh venture
and a considerable amount of devel
opement work has been accomplished
on the ground with the most flatter
ing results,
Adam Sager, one of the mining
pioneers of this section was in Lewis
town on Friday last' Mr. Sager was

intimately acquainted with its work
ings. Mr. Sager has unlimited faith
in the old mine yet and is of the
opinion that it is one of the best
propositions in the Maiden district.
J. J. Bullard returned from the east

with the Democrat reporter stated
that he had sold a large interest in

the Barnes-King in the Kendall dis
trict. The interest was sold to St.
Paul capitalists for $10,000, of which
amount $5,000 was paid in cash with
the remainder subject to a time stip
ulation. The purchasers are under
agreement to expend $5,000 in diamond
drill work and to later put a mill on
the property. Stone & Co. drill con
tractors of Spokane will conduct the
drill work which will be pushed rap
idly. Mr. Bullard still retains a con
siderable interest in the property.
Real Self Control.
To most people self control means the
control of appearances and not the con
trol of realities. This is a radical mis
take and must be corrected if we are
to get a clear idea of self control and if
we are to trial;» a fair start in acquir
ing it as a permanent habit.
If a man is ugly to me and I want to
knock him down and refrain from do
ing so simply because it wouldn't ap
pear well and is not the habit of the
habit of the people about me, my de
sire to knock him down is still a part
of myself, and I have not controlled
myself until I am absolutely free from
that interior desire. So long ns I am in
hatred to another I am in bondage to
my hatred; and if, for the sake of ap
pearances, I do not net or speak from it
I am none the less at Its mercy, and it
will find an outlet wherever it can do
so without debasing me in the eyes of
other men more willing than I am to be
debased. My selfish desire to injure the
man I hate is counterbalanced by my
selfish desire to stand well in the eyes
of other men. There can be no true self
control so long as either form of selfish
ness dominates my actions. The control
of appearances is merely outward re
pression, and a very common instance
of this may be observed in the effort to
control a laugh.—Annie Fayson Call in
Leslie's Monthly.
Halcyon Days.
The seven days preceding and the
seven days following the winter sol
stice were called by the ancients "hal
cyon days." This phrase is derived
from a fable which sets forth that Hal
cyone, a princess who grieved so deep
ly for the loss at sea of her spouse, was
sent thither in pity In the form of a
halcyon bird or kingfisher.
According to the legend, the halcyon
bird had during the time of breeding
the power of lulling the waves, and it
was believed at this time the sea was
always calm and might be navigated
In perfect security. Experience, of
course, dispelled this fable; but, like
many another old world story, it has
left behind it a distorted meaning.
In this case the connection between
the old and the new significance is
clear, for the term, once expressive of
peace and calm upon the waters, is
equally expressive of tranquillity upon
the sea of life.
Danger of Hypnotism.
Even with the best understanding of
the subject now possible, there is dan
ger in originating anything that puts
a hypnotized person under his own
control—in other words, that originates
automatism, writes Dr. M. A. Veeder
in the Medical Record. So long as
the subject Is under the control of the
hypnotizer absolutely there is not so
much danger, but let him go out under
his own control—and he runs without a
balance wheel. In this way auto sug
gestion, which fortunately is more dif
ficult and exceptional, may originate
exceedingly unpleasant experiences.
The writer has even come to the con
clusion that there may be causes of
insanity confined to institutions that, if
the truth were known, are really of
this type.
English Gardena and Oars.
There Is a fundamental difference be
tween the English and the American
garden. The Englishman's garden is
well nigh as essential as his house. It
Is like an extra room to the residence.
It is for the family rather than for the
public. It therefore works itself into
the developing consciousness of chil
dren, and garden love becomes as
much a part of the person as books
and furniture and music do. The
American garden is likely to be all in
the front yard. It Is usually of the
look-at-me kind. It Is made for the
public to see. This may contribute to
public spirit and civic betterment, but
it loses in originality and vitality.—L.
H. Bailey in Garden Magazine.
Cnrlonn Chinese Prejudice.
In the course of business certain
London banks have occasion to send
out large sums In gold coin to China.
No sovereigns, however, will be ac
cepted which have St. George and the
dragon on the reverse side. The drag
on plays a leading part in religious
matters in China, and its figure on the
coin is abhorrent to the Celestial mind.
The London consignees have therefore
to pick out the older coins, having a
shield on the reverse side, for trans
mission to the east.

Presence ol Mind.
The following is a true story of an
Incident that happened in an English
village;
A husband had gone out for the even
ing aud left his wife and child at home.
The woman was about to retire for the
night wImm, to her amazement, she per
ceived the foot of a man beneath the
bed. Instead of calling for assistance,
as some would have done, she coolly
went to the child's cot and sat and
sang till the child went to sleep. Two
hours then remained before her hus
band came in. He was surprised to
find her waiting up, but when his wife
handed him an envelope, saying, "You
might run and post this," the cause of
her waiting was revealed. Instead of
a letter the following was written on
the envelope: "A burglar is under our
bed. Run; fetch police." The husband
returned in a minute with a policeman,
and the man was arrested. The bur
glar when brought up before the mag
istrate remarked that he had come
across a few brave women in his time,
but this one must have had a nerve
like iron, for she sat there for three
solid hours. He had the impression
that she didn't know he was there till
the policeman pulled him out.
Tile Time to Charge.
At the taking of Moscow while the
troops sat in their saddles under a mur
derous fire Murat, Napoleon's dashing
chief of cavalry, received a dispatch to
which an answer was required. Though
his mettlesome horse was trembling,
Murat laid the reins upon the horn of
the saddle, took his notebook in one
band and a pencil in the other and be
gan to write a response. Suddenly a
shell fell and exploded on the ground
close by. The horse leaped into the air
and swung wildly around. Murat sim
ply transferred the pencil to the hand
that held the notebook, calmed the
horse with the other hand and then
went on writing his dispatch as if
nothing bad happened. A shout of ad
miration went up along the line. Murat
saw that the enthusiasm aroused by his
trifling act had created a favorable mo
ment for a charge. He gave the order,
and his men swept clear through the
enemy's line.
Burke and His Associates.
The free and easy manners of the
political and literary friends with
whom Burke associated are exhibited
by a personal anecdote. He often ask
ed his friends to sup on beefsteak or
a leg of mutton. One night the house
sat late, and Burke brought home to
supper Fox and two or three more of
the Whig politicians. Mrs. Burke's
face told of the ill provided larder.
"Surely," said the host, answering his
wife's look of annoyance, "there's beef
enough!"
Fox and another gentleman, seeing
the state of affairs, hurried off to a
tavern, where they obtained such
dishes as could be purchased. Amid
much laughter, they returned and set
the table with the food they had for
aged. Burke called them the most
skillful of waiters, aud there was an
amusing, satisfactory supper.
A Bible Legend of the Panther.
One of the oddest stories in the "Bes
tiaries," or stories of Bible animals
written by the monks, is the legend of
the panther. "The panther," so the
homily runs, "is the most beautiful of
all beasts. More ttyan this, when it
goes abroad it diffuses a marvelous
sweet perfume. This odor is so sweet
that all the other beasts aud birds fol
low the p°nther wherever it goes.
Wherefore the panther is a type of vir
tue." Perhaps the old monks who bor
rowed and embellished this story had
heard of and misunderstood the strong
love of sweet scents which the panther
and its relations, the lions and leop
ards, often show.—London Spectator.
Meals and Weight.
It lias been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter nfter a meal, and they have
even gone the length of explaining this
by the amount of gas that is developed
from the food. Average observations,
however, show that we lose 3 pounds 0
ounces lietween night and morning;
that we gain 1 pound 12 ounces by
breakfast; that we again lose about 14
ounces before lunch; that lunch puts
on an average of a pound; that we
again lose 10 ounces, but that an ordi
nary dinner to healthy persons adds 2
pounds 2 ounces to their weight.
Resisting Temptation.
The joy of resisting temptation is the
highest joy men can feel. It is a mo
ment when our little life here grows
larger aud we feel ourselves lifted into
a wider sphere. We have a sense of
fellowship with higher beings and are
somehow conscious of their sympathy.
All God's creation smiles upon us and
appears made for our Joy.—A. B. Da
vidson.
The Average Is All Right.
"Their pay is shockingly small for
some of our public officials," said the
broadminded man.
"Yes," answered the cynic, "but it
averages up. Some of the public offi
cials arc shockingly small for their
pay.''—Washington Star.
Reformed.
"What a fault finder Jones is! And
he used to have such a contented dis
position before he was married."
"Yes. I heard his wife say she had
married him to reform him."—Houston
Post.
Right Mao.
She—The man I marry must be "only
a little lower than the angels." He (sud
denly flopping)—Here I am on my
knees, a little lower than one of them.
(He got her.)—New York Weekly.

SIRE TEST fOR TUBERCULOSIS.
| _
Tuberculin Is Used and the Raise of
Temperature Indicates Disease.
| 11 it'IV may be in a herd a large
number of animals that are infected
l)Ut that appear sound. In others the
disease may be far advanced and the
animals show that they are Infected,
flie reliable test of tubarculosisis is
the tuberculin test. Tuberculin is
harmless and does not contain the
germs of tuberculosis, but is a liquid
prepared from tuberculosis germs.
I "ice during its preparation it is
heated sufficiently to kill all germs,
so it cannot possibly cause cause tu
berculosis, and does not cause activity
hi a local tuberculous nodule in the
animal.
!l the animal is sound when tuber
culin is injected, there is no effect, no
reaction. But if the animal contains
an active tubercle, there is a rise of
temperature beginning from eight to
sixteen hours after the injection, and
continuing for from six to ten hours,
or longer. Cows in advanced preg
nancy give the tuberculin reaction
even when they are not tuberculous,
so in that condition they should not
lie tested with tuberculin, but should
be placed apart until a few weeks af
ter the calf is born.
Card of Thanks.

and neighbors, also the choir of the

SPIDER SILK.
Ml Wonderful Strength, Elasticity
and Lasting Quality.
The astronomer after the experience
of many years has found that the spi
der furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used in carrying
on his work, writes Ambrose Swazey
in the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are from
one-fifth to oue-seveuth of a thousandth
of an inch in diameter, nud, in addition
to their strength and elasticity, they
have the peculiar property of with
standing great changes of temperature,
and often when measuring the sun
spots, although the heat is so intense
ns to crack the lenses of the microme
ter eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not
in the least injured.
The threads of the silkworm, al
though of great value ns a commercial
product, are so coarse and rough com
pared with the silk of the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru
ments.
Spider lilies, although but a fraction
of a thousandth of an inch in diameter,
are made up of several thousands of
microscopic streams of flu/d, which
unite and form a single line, and it is
because of this that they remain true
and round under the highest magnify
ing power.
More Than Ponte.
She—I hope you were polite to papa,
dear? He—Indeed I was. I gave him a
cordial invitation to make his bouse
my home.
It often happens that the man who
pays the piper has nothing left for his
creditors.—Puck.
Cheated Death.
Kidney trouble often ends fatally,
but by choosing the light medicine,
E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Iowa,
cheated death. He says: "Two years
ago I had Kidney trouble, which
caused me great pain, suffering and
anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters,
whicli effected a complete cure. I
have also found them of great benefit
in general debility and nerve trouble,
and keep them constantly on hand,
since, as I find they have no equal."
Delzell Drug Co. guarantees them at
