Lead Mine, Lead Coins and of Some Queer People Who Wanted Wages Reduced. , There was once a dairyman who did a large and prosperous business. He was known and respected by a. large community, and nearly all the people who knew him did business with him. I do not know what his real name was, but they called him Uncle Sam. At the early day when these things happened there was very little money, and people used bar lead, bullets and tobacco for. change. Finally Uncle Sam, who wasa rather unusual character, read a pas- sage in one of Aristotle’s works in re- gard to the invention of money, that‘ was afterward determined in value by .men putting a. stamp on' it in o1der that it may save them the trouble of Weighing it. ” So Uncle Sam built a stamping ma- chine which would stamp out an Eng- lish penny’s worth of lead and was worth a pint of milk, as he was then sell- ing milk. These checks proved to be quite convenient. People found them all full weight, and Uncle Sam’s work- men and servants took their pay in them. People also sold him their cows for them, and Uncle Sam sold milk for them. SOmetimes the people used the lead coins for bullets and for weights, but Uncle Sam didn’t care very much. Although it did cost him something tb coin them, he had passed them at their lead value. In fact, Uncle Sam would exchange coins for bar lead at any time, weight for weight, as a matter of pub- lic convenience. Some other people made coins in a mold occasionally, but people generally weighed them in order to find whether they were as heavy as Uncle Sam’s coins. Uncle Sam said he didn’t care how many coins they made, and he would take them himself if they were full weight. A lead mine was discovered not very far from Uncle Sam’s, and lead went down in price to about half what it had been. A great many people who had some of Uncle Sam’s lead began to wonder what he was going to do about the matter. The checks 11 ere worth on- ly a halfpenny now. They discovered that Uncle Sam Was still receiving them for a penny ’s worth of milk and that he was continuing to pay them out to his workmen just as before. His business was enlarging, and he was stamping out these checks in larger numbers than ever. People sold him hay and cows for them at the same rate, for he had said that he intended to -maintuin the parity of his cheeks and the penny. People didn’t use his checks for bullets now, for bar lead cost only half as much. And Uncle Sam request- ed his friends not to make any of these checks out of bar lead, for he didn’t like to accept halfpenny checks for a penny unless he had passed them off on the public for a penny’s worth of labor. The next thing of note that happened to Uncle Sam was this: The people who owned the lead mine heard about his scheme, and they got up a convention in order to see if something couldn’t be done for lead. They wanted to get the good old prices. They proposed that Uncle Sam should coin the whole out- put of their mine free and let them cart away the checks, since they owned the lead. They tried to make Uncle Sam be- lieve that this would double the price of lead and he could go right on doing business .as if nothing had happened. There was also some talk to the effect that people couldn’t pay their debts un- less they could get some cheap money to pay with. The working people were getting a penny a day, and many of them thong bt these lead pennies they were getting were too good and would buy too much at the stores. They joined the free coinage movement in order to get a cheap penny which would buy 011- ly half as much as the present penny, with a view of restoring lead to its old price, so people could pay their debts in cheap money. They said they would trust to luck to get their wages doubled. Some of the wiser ones shook their heads and said Uncle Sam certainly couldn’t carry the whole lead output at twice its market value. They were confident that if he should attempt to do so the lead coins would soon pass at their junk value, This wimld upset credits and business and ruin the whole community. When I finish the translation of this story and learn how the tangle was set- tled, I will write again—Francis E, Nipher in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ' W'hich Is the Goose?

A TRUE HEROINE. A Little California Girl Who Gave Her Life for Her Brother; She lived in Placer county, not fat from where the pretty town of Au. buru now stands. for it happened many years ago, in the early ’60’s. and I expect that but few‘now resid- ing there have any recollections of the affair. The family, consisting of her father, a miner, her mother and little brother, dwelt in a small shanty erected under cover of a convenient ledge. The shanty was a miserable1 structure of two rooms, but it held what many a grander dwelling failed to contain, a loving household. The mother lay sick with the fever, and Carmen, then a girl of twelve, per- formed the drudgery of the house. Her little brother, a curly-headed romp of five, was’Carmen’s great re- sponsibility. The father was away from early morning until late at night at his work, and so the little hands of twelve found plenty to do. In com- 111011 with the custom of miners, the father kept a store of giant powder in the house, which in the present case was contained in a sack placed in an old box that stood by the foot of the bed where lay the sick mother. The upper part of the shanty, under the sloping board roof, was utilized as a storage place for old dunnage and rubbish. One night the father was absent in the mine, on night vork. By some means the shanty took fire, probably from the cracked and defec- tive ado-be chimney. Carmen awoke to find that the roof was afirc and sparks dropping down. Springing up she loudly cried to awaken her mother and Tommy, but the little boy became frightened and hid his head beneath the covers of his bed. Carmen sprang to lift him from the bed, when she saw a shower of sparks falling upon the powder box. Recognizing the awful danger, she at- tempted to leave the child for the mo ment and carry out the powder, but in her excitement she caught her foot in the overhanging bed-clothes and fell to the floor, breaking her thigh bone. Unable to arise, the brave girl crawled to the box of powder, and drawing herself up, covered the box with her body. The mother had by this time succeeded in. getting out of bed and getting outside the now furiously burning shanty, and managed to take with her the little boy. The cries of Carmen: “Oh, take Tommy out, won't you!” turned for a time the mother’s thought from her daughter’s danger. The fire had aroused some of the neighbors, who speedily ran to the burning shanty and lent what aid they could. Carmen was discovered and removed. Her ‘l‘escuers found her almost hidden beneath a mass of burning Cinders, her back frightfully burned. Tender hands bore her to a neighboring shanty, where all that could be done to alleviate her suffer- ings was eagerly bestowed. But hu- man aid came too late. The brave little spirit lingered until the follow- ing day, and then departed for a brighter land. It was not known until after she had rccoveued consciousness a short time before she died that she had broken her leg. Her last words were: “Kiss me Tommy; I’ve saved mo, and ._I"n so happy.”—-Sa11 qu- cisco Call; A Bear Story. Having been requested to w1ite a composin on on “bears," Johnny pro- duced the following. “One day a hear he went among a flock of sheeps, and picked out a nice little labm, and cot it, and the labm it said, ‘Ba-ba-bal‘ ’cos it knowed it was a-goin' to be et, every little, teeny, tiny bit up. up in his fore poz, like it was a baby, and rocked it and sed, ‘There, there, never mine, my pneshus darlin’.

Minute. slender, -whiu grubs have been found boring into thz tubers, roots and rootstalks of the po tato during the growing season. Tht Pupae of these grubs have been found in connection with them. The grub: and pupae have been proven to he the early stages of the common on. cumber flea-beetle, a very injurious in- sect, the life history of which has here tofore been imperfectly known. The wound made by the boring of the grul results in the formation of a “sliver," but a. “pimple” may or may not be pro duced, depending, probably, upon the stage of growth of the tuber at the time the wound is made. The most practical method of pre- venting the “plmply” potato trouble is to protect the foliage against the at tacks of flea-beetles by thoroughll spraying with bordeaux mixture. Seedling plants of various kinds suf- fer se‘verely from the attacks of flea. beetles. Bordeaux mixture to which a small quantity of parls green has. been added is exceedingly efficient as a preventive of these attacks, provided that it is applied thoroughly and fro quently.—-New York Agricultural Ex- periment Station. Keeping Butter. The secret of success in packing but ter for‘long keeping is in making it right to begin with. It is the water. and especially the buttermilk left in the butter that are the most active agentsin spoiling it or causing it to become rancid. Butter for long keep- ing should be much drier than would be proper for butter to be immediately marketed. You want a dry, hard, waxy butter that will pack in a firkin perfectly solid. When the. firkin is filled within an inch of the top chime, loosen the hoops and put in the head. Bore a. hole in this head and pour in, until it runs over, a brine made strong enough to float a fresh egg. Let the firkin stand a day, then pour in all the brine it will take and plug the hole. The firkin should be kept in as cool a place as possible, a cellar, icehouse or other place, until wanted. If there is not butter enough to fill a. firkin, then use well-glazed stone jars. plaster of paris to keep the air out, but force all the air out first With brine. Butter made into rolls'and sunk in brine will not keep nearly as well. If you can bury the firki'ns or jars in the ice house, you had better do so. Canker in Fowls. The disease of which the first symp- toms is a sneeze, a white ulcer back of the tongue and in the Windpipe, and which rapidly grows larger, and the birds are dying in from two days to a week, is canker. The sick birds should be isolated, as the disease is conta- gious. Push the windpipe forward, re- move the ulcer with a sharp stick, and wash with kerosene. Watch the bird and repeat treatment as often as a new ulcer forms. The birds should be kept toned up.—J. B. F. Sick Sheep. There are sheep which are fected with What is called “Leech,” caused by the sheep drinking water in- tested with leeches. They get into the liver, the sheep swell at the neck and get very thin and die. This is a de- rangement which is easier to prevent than to cure. Give each sheep two—tea- spo-onfuls of turpentine in 2 oz of raw linseed oil twice a day for a week, skip a week and give again if neces- sary. Intelligence in Hens. It may not. seem to be of much im- portauce that hens should be intelli- gent; ‘ but it is. I find the best lay- ers are, as a rule, the most teachable and every way wisest. I have a lit- tle busybody which outlays all the rest of the flock; and she is nearly as intelligent as my Scotch collie. She speaks to a human friend in tones un- like those used to the flock. Another, in a flock of Plymouth Rocks crossed with Light Brahmas, proved to be a specially wise creature, and as com- panionable and affectionate as a cat. By some accident her leg was broken. We splintered it; put the leg through slits cut in a sack stretched over the top of a barrel. There she laid for three weeks, talking with us, and ap- parently fully comprehending the situ- ation. She too is an excellent hen for eggs, although the flock is bred for meat instead of eggs. .

HOW THE AMERICAN MAN-OF—WAR- MAN IS CARED FOR. Jack’s Fondness for His Ship —'—Scrub Days and Holidays—Lille Recreation and Blerit Blinks—Pay Withheld Until the End of the Cruise. The addition of new ships to the United States Navy makes imperative the enlistment of a. large number of new men for the service. The rate at which the White Squadron has been and is being strengthened of late has brought this fact into especial prominence, and the enrollment of seamen and marines for the new vessels is a task of the highest importance. It has been stated from time to time that good men were difficult to secure for the hundreds of places thus created, and that the class who would be desirable recruits did. not show an overwhelming eagerness to become men-of-war’s-men. ‘ The writer has never had occasion to meet with a man who appeared more thoroughly contented than did an old gunner’s mate seen not long ago on board the New-York. His affection for the ship and his pride in her good qualities were delightful things to see. He had spent his life in the Navy, had served through war and peace, and had nothing but good words for his of- ficers and his treatment. Yet the place of gunner’s mate would not be regard- ed by many men as the pick of the work aboard ship. The first incident of importance in the daily routine is the call to “quar< ters” at 9:30 for the regular morning inspection and drill. At inspection each man’s clothing comes under the officer’s scrutiny, and his general ap- pearance is criticised if necessary. Ample opportunities and facilities are given to the crew for the making. mending and washing of their clothes, so that a man who does not keep him- self neat has no excuse for it but his own laziness. The washing, by-the-way, is a most impressive function which takes place every Monday morning. No one is ex- cused from answering the boatswain’s whistle, which summons to this task except the men in the engine-room, who naturally cannot drop their work to rush to the call. They must ar— range, however, with obliging com- rades, so that the cleansing of their garments may take place just the same. The manner of performing the washing would no doubt be regarded by ordinary housekeepers with dis- trust. The garments, with the excep- tion of the flannels, are laid upon the deck and scrubbed with a “coy-a" brush, after which they are rinsed in the buckets or sluiced. with water as they lie on the deck. ' The drill which follows inspection may be with any or all of the various weapons of war. There is target prac- tice with the cannon and with the small-arms, and the sword exercise, at which the men are taught the seven. different styles of cuts which may most effectively disable or kill. The arrangement of the watches throughout the day, four hours on and four hours off, allows the men more time to themselves than they would receive if engaged in almost any other occupation for which they would be fitted. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are holiday times on board ship. To be sure, a certain amount of cleaning up is required on those days, the extent of which depends largely upon the cap- tain’s strictness- in this regard and his desire for a “spick-and-span” vessel. It was doubtless service under some of the severer m-artinets which gave rise to the old sailors’ saying that Sunday is devoted to “holystoning the deck and scraping the cable.” Jack’s chief amusement in his off hours, after he has finished up any necessary needlework which he may have on hand, are reading, writing let- ters home, playing cards or checkers, and, above all, smoking. The advantages attached to being in one of the upper classes comes in the shape of additional privileges of many kinds. If the ship is lying near a port, it means longer and more frequent shore leave than is granted to the men whose behavior has kept them in the lower classes. It also means. a more liberal allowance of money at the end of the month, for, as is perhaps not generally understood, it is not custom- ary to pay wages to the crew at sea. Each member of the crew receives a small part. of his money on payday— larger, as was mentioned, according. to his conduct rank—and thus has the main amount still coming to him at the end of the cruise.

Senator Forney, of the Kansas State Senate, has a young daughter who tells why her father introduced so many freak bills in the Senate. “Whenever pa ran up ' against any thing he didn’t like,” she says, “he would come home and write a bill against it. There is one of his rail- road bills, for instance. We drove to town to church one night, and there was a freight train on the crossing, and it kept us there for twenty. min- utes. It annoyed pa dreadfully, and he went home and wrote that bill to prohibit trains from obstructing cross- ings more than five minutes. Then, one night, somebody stole all our chickens. The next day pa wrote his chicken bill. But you will notice that the bill doesn’t protect ducks. It says 'cxcept ducks.’ Pa [don’t like ducks. And he said if anybody wanted to steal them it was all right—the ducks was punishment enough.

In a more recent paper I perceive a for. mal annunciation of ‘The Vampire,‘ with the addition of an account of my ‘residence in the island of Mitylenrel- an island which I have occasionally sailed by in the course of traveling some years ago through the Levant and where I should have no objections to reside, but where I have never yet resided.
