Of m a r
Bohemia Mining. District.
For moro than a quarter of a century
tho mines of this district have attracted
tho attention of the mining men, bat un
til the last few yearn bnt littlo perma
nent work, outside of prospecting, has
been done. The mineral belt is thirty
miles long by fifteen miles in width, and
contains mineral veins of largo size aud
great value, in gold and silver. At the
intersection of the Calapooia rango with
tho Cascade mountains, tho mines have
been worked with shafts and tunnels
and the fact is demonstrated that mil
lions of dollars of the precious metals are
here to be found and only need the magic
touch of capital to malce them the great
est producers of wealth on tho PaciGc
coast. The mountains are covered with
a heavy growth of valuable timber, and
tho water course, fed by perpetual
snows and never failing springs, famish
endless water power lor milling purposes.
A good wagon road leads to this most
promising camp, a distance of 33 miles
from Cottage Grove, a (own of commer
cial importance- on the Southern Pacific
railroad, and at no distance day a lino of
daily stages will bo running to this most
promising camp. The mineral bearing
veins carry cold and silver in pavinz
quantities, the gold value predominating
j in many- of llio properties. The veins
are large and well defined, and in every
instance the quality.'and quanlify'of the
ore increases as we go down, a facl most
' A. ,
i imping 10 interested parties. ltie
value of the ore is over twenty dollars in
gold to the ton and the silver value is
usually about ten dollars to the ton,
making tho average value of theso im
mense ledges thirty dollars to the ton of
ore. No section of the country offers
better inducements to capital, seeking
safe and profitable investment, and to
the prospector this is A regular paradise
as sections of this vast area, rich in
mineral, has never been visited by white
men. Eugene Register.
Care of One's Clothes.
Tho well-groomed young woman is she
who always looks well, and suitably
dressed for every occasion. Her hair is
always just right, and her shoei, gloves
and bonnets are always sightly. It is
because she is always in trim for any
thing that may turn up. She is perfect
is to detail, and has atjleast one gown
for every occasion. The woman who
lacks the first requisite may have 20
gowns for each occasion, and not loot as
well as Miss Well-Groomed does. This
is her secret:
She buys good things, expends a great
deal of thought on their selection, nnd
baa them well cut. She does not ap
prove of exaggerated styles, because
they make her conspicuous, which is bad
taste. She Las ono perfectly correct din
ner dress, a simple and beautiful bath
gown, a fancy waist for theater, a couple
of cloth street gowns, and either matinees
or jackets for tho house.
Her shoes for the ptrret are regular
walking shoes of calfskin, laced, with flat
heel and pointed toe. Every night they
are blacked, twice a week limbered up
with oil ; the heelsXare straightened as
eoon as they run down. Her slippers
are kept in like good condition.
Her buttons, hooks and eyes, "ribbons
or bows are always well atlended to, and
not hanging by threids. Her skirts
aro beautifully free from tuud; her coat
and hat never show a speck of dust.
Her gloves are dark'in color, with every
button intact. When she wears white
gloves they are clean. All this is man
aged by attending to things which need
attending to at once, an J at no other
time. When a skirt .is. Uken off, brush
it, put the -hat in its box, the gloves
away in their sachet, the shoes where
they will be attended to. and make up
your mind that no work is too much in
order to look well-groomed. It will repay
you.
"Honest Old Abe."
And here's another story of the mar
tyred president, as told by Secretary
Herbert at the Scotch-Irish Society ban
quet in 1'hilidelpliia last week: "I
heard recently an anecdote which I do
not remember to hare seen in print. It
is attributed to ex-Senator Hendersou.
Very early in the civil warestretnists be
gan to urgo President Lincoln to issue a
proclamation to abolish slaverv. Mr.
Lincoln was slow in making up his mind.
At first ho doubted tho exiediency of
taking such a step, then he doubted
whether public opinion was ripe for the
measure. While the matter was still
under i onsideration ex-Senator Hender
son wcut to see the president at the
Wnite Hou&e just as Mr. Summer was
leaving. t Mr. Lincoln said: 'Hender
son, did you meet Sumner out there at
tho door? 'Yes, sir.' 'Well, that man
comes here onco a day. There are three
of them who have entered a combina
tion to compel me'to issue a proclamation
emancipating tho slaves, They want it
done now, whether I think the time has
come or not. Ben Wode comes early in
the morning,.Sumner Comes at noon, and
Thad Stevens comes at night. I've got
ten soXhato the night of them. Every
time I lay eyes on oe of them I think
about the boy who was put to reading the
Bible at school and got Mumped when he
came to tho names of tho men. who
walked tho fiery furnace. He read along
gibly until lie'camo to tliuse names, tlien
ho halted. The teacher scolded him, but
it was of no use. Ho trounced him, and
still the boy could not get out tho names.
Then the teacher shouted: 'Shadrach,
Meshak and Abeduego, ou dunce; skip
them and go along,' and tho boy read
along very smoothly for a page, and then
all at once broke out crying. "What's
the matter?' soid tho teacher, aud the
boy blubbered out, 'Hero comes them
infernal three fellers anaiu.' "

NEW FIELDS FOR NOVELISTS.
Why Does Not Some Writer Use an Eskimo
as Heroine?
Tho division of the earth among con
temporary novelists has not as yot in
cluded Greenland, where somo new
writer can lay tho scene of a story in
which tho heroine will wear sealskin
trousers and calm her troubled heart
with mighty drafts of train oiL
Neither has any novelist seized upon
China, whero great things may yet be
dono by a story teller who really knows
tomothing of that modern and multitudi
nous sphinx, the Chinaman.
But with these exceptions thero is
very littlo desirable territory which is
not pre-empted. This of course greatly
hampers now novelists who are com
pelled towrito novels dealing only with
English men and women at home.
England is tho common possession of
evory body; and oven tho American writer
who does not wish to imitato either Mr.
Harto or Mr. Howells is compelled to
lay the sceno of his stories in London
or in some one of the many littlo Eng
lish colonies to bo found in continental
cities.
Tho English novelist who wishes to
writo a story characterized by some little
novelty is reduced to inventing Dodos or
other fabulous creatures, an attempt
which fails moro frequently than it suc
ceeds. This state of things is so plain to ev
ery writer that I wonder that no ono has
rushed in to occupy tho Greenland or
tho Chlneso field.
A Greenland story would at onco at
tract attention because of its novelty,
and wo who have never been to Green
land could warmly recognize tho truth
of its local color, and tho profound
knowledge of Eskimo character shown
by tho writer.
An advanced Eskimo maiden with a
wild desire to wear petticoats instead
of trousers and to drink tea instead of
train oil could hardly fail to charm the
reader.
I am afraid, however, that the ad
vanced Eskimo maid would not survive
beyond tho first four or five chapters,
for I understand that whenever an Es
kimo woman exhibits symptoms of, ad
vanced thinking sho is immediately sot
adrift on an ico floe W. L. Alden in

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
Aa Easy Matter to Float on the Surface or
tho Thick Water.
Tho Dead sea, or moro properly tho
Salt sea, is also called in Scrip rnro the
sea of tho Arabah; in tho Apocrypa, the
Sodomitish sea;in tho Talmudical books,
eea of Salt and sea of Sodom. The
namo Dead sea seems to have been first
used in Greek, and tho Arabic namo 13
Bar Lut, or tho sea of Lot It has a
length varying from 40 to 46 miles and
is only about threo miles across at its
broadest port.
From the analysis of tho United States
expedition it appears that each gallon
of tho water, weighing 12 pounds,
contains nearly 3 pounds (3.319) of
matter in solution, an immense quantity
in view of the fact that sea water,
weighing 10J pounds per gallon, con
tains less than one-half pound. Of this
32 pounds nearly a pound is common
salt (chloride of sodium), about two
pounds chloride of magnesium and less,
than ono-baif pound chloride of calcium
(muriato of lime). Thero does not ap
pear to bo anything about it inimical to
life, and tho story of a recent tourist
confirms this. Ho says:
"As for tho Dead sea, it will, in con
tradiction of the name, forever preservo
a green and living memory in my mind.
No fish can survive in it, wo all know,
but for a place for a swim, or, above all,
for a float, commend mo to it beyond all
tho Winnepesaukees in tbo world. How
it bears you up in arms! How it annihi
lates tho tiresomo ponderosity and dig
nity of tho laws of gravitation! How it
introduces you into tho inner conscious
ness of dainty ariel and thistledom and
all otherairy, fairy creatures! Tho moro
you weigh tho less yon weigh. Thero is
tho real hydrostatic paradox. An ele
phant in tho Dead sea would feel him
self a gazelle. Then what a mirror its
steely surface was that morning, and
how beautiful its reflections of the moun
tains of Falestino on tho ono hand aud
of Moab on tho other!" Brooklyn

Electric IJshts.
A Vienna professor gives it as his
opinion, after much research on the
subject, that all delicato persons and
thoso who suffer from nervousness
should never remain long in a room
lighted by electric lights, its effect on
tho nervous system being such that aft
er awbilo they generally become uneasy
and depressed and find it impossible
to concentrate the attention for any
length of time. Young persons, on tho
contrary, and thoso with strong nerves
find tho influence of tho light extremely
beneficial, especially when tho brain is
overworked and tired, tho effect being
much tho same as that of strong coffeo
L a, increased activity of tho nerv
ous system.

recently Mrs. Fannio C Barbour, the
writer and traveler, gave a description
of her visit to somo Algerian ladies.
Through tho interpreting friend who ac
companied her the hostesses convoyed
thoir polite pity at her extraordinary
costume. "Where,'" they asked in
plaintivo pity for tho unfortunate
American, "aro her Turkish troasers?"
When told that she came from Amer
ica, they asked whero that was, and on
bearing that it was across a great sea
complacently remarked: "Not so great
as our Mediterranean. Thero is no sea
like that''

NO DOG IN HER HOUSE.
A Boarding: House Keeper Tells Whyjfta
Has Made This Rule.
Persons with dogs and other -pets
meet with a cold and clammy reception
in Now York boarding houses. 'They
may occasionally steal into fashionable
flats, whero tho landlord or agent .has
no direct mean3 of circumventing them,
but when it comes to tho boarding'henso
things aro a little moro definite.
A nice-looking married couple went
into a Twenty-third street boarding
bouse the other day and were made com
fortable. After tho first dinner the lady
was observed scraping together some
dainties from tho board to take to her
room. The landlady, who is a woman
of great decision of character, heard of
it, and her knock was shortly afterward
heard at tho door of tho new boarders.
Tho latter were immediately notified
that cither they or tho dog must vacate
at once.
"If I cannot keep my darling Xeno
phon, we'll move," protested the owner
of tho dog, who practiced tho principle
of "Love me, love my dog."
"Then you'll havo to move, " said the
landlady firmly. "I'm not keeping a
dog kennel."
"How in the world they ever got that
dog in hero without my seeing it," said
she, after tho obnoxious Xcnophon had
been disposed of, "is moro than I can
understand. I've had all I want of dogs.
A gentleman nsed to keep a small but
ferocious bulldog in his room where I
once lived. Ho was tho ugliest brute I
ever laid my eye3 on the dog, not the
man. That dog wouldn't let anybody
but his owner tamper with him. The
man used to lug him around with him
everywhere he went One night when
tho man camo in, he was feeling so ob
livious to earthly things that he left his
dog locked in the vestibule. The next
boarder who came ingot no farther than
the vestibule and landed down the steps
with a square yard of trousers missing.
He was soon joined by another boarder,
who wanted to come to bed. They rang
the bell until several of us came down
to see what was the matter. On opening
tho door the dog sprang for us as if he
hadn't been fed for a week and wanted
anything that came bandy, bnt we
slammed tho door to again just in time.
As we could not awaken the owner we
had to leave the dog there till morning,
and thoso who wero outside had to go to
a hotoL In tho morning everybody had
to go and como by the servant's entrance
until tho owner of tho animal came
down and got us out of tho fix."
"What did ho say?"
"Say! Why, ho abused us all as a Ect
of brutes for keeping his dog locked np
there and gathered it np under his arm
and took it up stairs as if had been a
piece of Dresden china! And the board
ers who had been locked out left the
house for good the next day. We got rid
of the dog, but not until it had half de
populated tho establishments" Chi
cago Tribune.
The Awakening TIser.
Between tho drowsy sleep of the noc
turnal animals and tho hypersensitive
sleep of those which spend their lives in
constant fear of their enemies a place
must bo found for tho form of slumber
enjoyed by the large carnivora and that
of domestic animals. Tho former havo
no enemies to fear except man, and tho
latter, protected by man, enjoy to the
full the blessing of natural rest
Tigers aro freqnently found fast
asleep in the daytime. Native hunters
have been known to track them after a
"kill" to the place in which they were
lying fast asleep and gorged with food
and to shoot them as they lie. When
taking bis midday repose in districts
whero it is littlo disturbed, the tiger
does not always retire to a place of se
curity, like tho bear, or oven the leop
ard, which nsually sleeps on the branch
of a tree. It just lies down in some con
venient spot, either shady or warm, ac
cording to tho weather, and there sleeps
almost regardless of danger. They have
been found lying in dry nullahs, under
trees and oven in the grass cf tho hill
sides unobserved until their disturber
camo within a few yards of them.
General Douglas Hamilton, When
shooting in theDandilly forest, came
upon a tigress, and two cubs lying fast
asleep on their backs, with their paws
sticking up in the air, under a clump of
bamboos. When ho was within a fow
yards of tho group, one raised its head
and without moving its body quietly
looked at him along tho lice of its body
between its paws. Tigers kept in cap
tivity awaken gradually, stretching and
yawning like a dog. London Spectator.
Ct lea's Cnlqne Tollsate.
Utica enjoys tho doubtful distinction
of being probably tho only city a the
United States which has a 'tollgate
within its boundaries or anywhere near
it, for that matter. Tho old days of toll
roads and tollgates havo passed away,
and it is well that they have. Tho com
pany which maintains tho Deerfield gate
has a legal status that cannot bo done
away with without tho consent of thoso
who own the property. The last legisla
ture passed an enabling act which makes
it possible for tho parties interested to,
do away with tho tollgate, and it Is
something to which tho attention of the
authorities may properly be directed.
