Long before the time of the moon at proHent known, thin conn try : alive with uetive industry. .From the hotel im the one hide, you look over inex haustible veins of iron, nnd, on the other, over one thouhand mines where prehistoric luUrtrtj -dug out the mica that is found in the stone grave neat tTed all through th Jlississipjii yalley. There has never been a miott mine found that did not hear traees of having bwn worked by these jteiple. Tho mica is found in veins of feldspar from four to ten feet in width, between wulls of granite gneiss. Imagine a quantity of piaster of I'aris nnule into a tliin paste, tlu'n a supply of bricks and of wheat poured into a crevice in the gran ite, dipping au angle of teventy-live de grtH's; tliia would present a mica vin. The plaster of Paris is the feldspar, the bricks the mica, and the wheat the garnets and quartz crys tals. The largest blocks of mica are fourteen inche by eighteen: alout one tenth is merchantable, the rest rotten aad too small. These mines have been worked for thousands of years, and by skilled workmen with excellent tools. "A brief description of one of these prehistoric mines will not," remarks a oorresjiondent, "be uninteresting. It is about twelve mile from here and three miles southeast of Uakerville. The mine is in a hill or niounta.n spur; it was worked on ojen earth, cut seven teen feet long, and, in some places, eighty-live feet deep. At first, the Bines were evidently perpendicular, but it was worked for such a vast per iod of time that the rock sides disin tegrated and wore away until they as sumed a natural blope. As the sides wasted, the debris was carried out at the top and thrown over the side. This was carried on through so long a period that the bottom or under side of the dump has become crystalized to a thickness of nearly two feet At the bottom of the drift, when it was cleaned out a few years ago to work, the rubbish had accumulated to a depth of about ten feet, and on that was growing a white oak with live hundred and twenty-three rings of annual growth. Imagine the immense period of time all this shows to have elapsed since this mine was first opened." Midland Industrial Gazelle. GOOD . ,ORIES. A FUo-My-lalr (iaoic That Was Very Uiaaatroua. Several "sheep-men" from tbe Inland Empire were gathered around the stove at one of e hotels diw-ussiec tbe pros pects for mutton this winter and wool next spring and the profits to be made by driving sheep to the Willamette to winter, and at last they got to telling stories about sheep. One told about the captain of a schooner who had a band of sheep on the deck of but vessel. As he was turning and twisting the wheel to keep the schooner on her course the old ram, who beaded the flock, taking umbrage at his motions, came up behind him and at one ' fell swoop butted him over the wheel. The enraged captain seized his woolly assailant and threw him over board, when, presto! away went the whole flock, popping over the rail, one after another, iuto the sea. Iioata were lowered and with much labor a portion of the flock was saved. Another told a story which illustrated the same foilow-my-leader trait in the character of sheep. At a port on the sound one evening just after the deck hands bad got all the freight stowed away, there came down five hundred Hheep to be put on board. All hands were vexed because of tho delay and trouble connected with shipping tbem, but finally a pen was made of hurdles U-tween decks and a gangway rigged, and in tbe dusk all was read; to take the sheep on board, and they were start--d down the gangway. The first one, as struck the deck, saw an opening in the other side of tbe boat across which ahurdie had been placed. Instead of going along to the corral prepared, this Kbeep made a running jump, cleared the hurdle and landed iu the salt chuck iilungside. Every one of tlrt band fol lowed suit, and in a short time five hun dred sheep were struggling iu the water. The captain, having seen the last one go down the plank, yelled out: "All right down there?" An answer came back: "All right, sir; send thetn down." "Send them down," roared the captain, "haven't you the sheep down there?" ".Not a hep, sir," was the reply, and investi gation showed that there was not a sheep on the boat The captain could not delay any longer and so steamed ;. and only a small number of the hhep ever got ashore.

The Salisbury steak is made by taking jthe best slices of the round" on the. beef, and chopping it with dull knives. The object is not to cut but rather pound the meat By thus treating it, the pulp comes to the top, and the tough, fibrous portion remains Is-low. This pulp is scraped off and made into cakes, like sausage cakes, or into the shape like a gootl-i.d steak, and gently broiled on a gridiron. It has been ; ton ii(l tiMt meat gently cooked is more I digestible than raw. The fire must lit 1 good, so that the meat may be rapidly broiled, that is. be cooked on the out side and almost raw inside. A Jittle suit and pester and a small amount of butter added make a nut a all unpalatable dish, and one which cot tains all the strength of the beef, with the tough, indigestible portion entirely separated. This diet is used exclusively in chronic cases by physicians profess ing to treat according to the Salisbury mcthisl. They use but few drugs, and what they use are mainly tonics. The diet is used not only in diseased diges tion, but diseases of liver, kidney, stomach, bowels, nerves, etc., and re markable results are said to have been obtained. K. Y. Medical limes. ' THE BUSY BEE. The Peculiarities of the. Queen, I)rnt and lioiiey-liem. A swarm of bees contains one queen, thousand of workers, imd in the aunt- jmer season a limited numW of drones.' j The queen is the only fully-fl volwped ! female in the swarm, and usually lives from four to six years. The queen has ja sting, yet may Im; liu!ill"d with im jpunity, for, except in combat with a rival queen, she wiil not use it. Tin working b'M is much smaller than the queen, and on it devolves all the lalxir of the swarm. It possesses an instinct j which is but very little inferior to the I reason in the human family. The ! drone is the male bie, and .warms . ! should not Is; permitted to raise a large number of these iioii-proiliiccrs, as it t:;k' a great deal of honey to support them in idleness for several month. Tho natural increase of the honey-bee is very imoerfectly understood. The queen lays all the fertile eggs In the swrtrm. A high temperature will for ward, while low tciiioorattire will re tard the maturing of t!w brood. The controlling of swarming is -now per fectly understood, and it is important that the beekeeper should become iic qua'iite.l with the best method,-- " From Terminal or Interior Points Hi" Northern Pacific Railroad I the Due to take To All Points East aifl SontH.
