creek six miles above . Hope, which
are turning out somo fabulously rich
ore. Mr. Logan has specimens taken
from bis claims that look as though

says he sent some picked samples of
his ore to AssayCr Bogardus of Seat

ton.
Mr. Logan has already done con
siderable work on his claims. He has
run a tunnel twenty feet long. The
vein of quartz now shows thr?e feet
thick. Mr. Revelle, who visited Mr.
Logan says the quartz is so rich that
he did not ask him for a specimen of

ing the man for money. He intends,
however, when he sees him again to
ask a loan of a specimen for which
he will give a receipt, and vouch for
its return. He wishes to place the
sample of ore in the Band of Seward
where it may be necli and examined

DANTE'S LAMP.
Florence Does Penance For Her Perse
cution of the Great Poet.
The city of Florence has Just done
penance for a crime committed nearly
COO years ago. It has placed an ever
burning lamp Ui the tomb of Dante at
Ravenna.
Florence banished Dante, proscribed
him, confiscated his property, sentenc
ed him to death, rejected with scorn
his plea to be allowed to return to the
city he never ceased to love In spite of
Its cruelty to him. Ravenna gave him
a home In life and sepulcher when he
died. Florence repented of her bitter
ness when too late. She prayed Ra
venna to allow the body of the poet to
return to her, but Ravenna refused.
Florence appealed to the pope, aud he
ordered Ravenna to surrender the
bones of Dante, but Ravenna prized
these bones like those of a saint, detled
tho pope and built over the body she
had cherished a simple but stately
tomb. To wljie out the stain upou iter
reputation proud Florence hired Boc
caccio to give readings of the "Dtvlno
Comedy" from a rostrum In her mar
ket place, but she has ever been jeal
ous of the privilege of Ravenna In pos
sessing the bones of the great poet.
Florence has at last humbled herself,
and her uct of penance was performed
the other day lu the presence of a vast
assemblage from all the cities of Italy.
A hanging lamp of silver severely sim
ple In Its desigu was made by a fa
mous artist and paid for by popular
subscription of the Florentines. This
was borne to Ravenna with great cere
mony and suspended from the vaulted
Toof of Dante's tomb, where It was
tilled with oil and solemnly lighted by
the mayor of Florence. As a voluntary
votive offering the city of Trlest? Ital
ian at heart though In Austrian terri
tory? gave a silver Jug In which to
keep the oil for the ever burning lamp.
Other cities gave the wicks and burn
ers ami lamplighters, and there were
speakers representing many towns,
but all of these were accessories. The
event which Italy was celebrating was
the long delayed penance of Florence.
Henceforth, Just as the lamp burns
forever before the sanctuary In which
tlie blessed sacrament reposes, so will
the Florentine light shine before the
grave where Dante sleeps, day and
nlglit, century after century, so long
as men road the poems that have been
called "divine."? Arthur Bennington in
Sew York World.
Army Slippers.
To call a man "a warrior In dressing
gown and slippers" Is now orfly half
as opprobrious as It used to be. The
French war department has decided to
equip the cavalry with felt slippers as
part of the Held kit. It Is only neces
sary to supply the dressing gowns to
make the old terms of stigma accu
rately descriptive of the men who do
the lighting. The war department has
proved by experiment that nothing
rests the soldiers so quickly after a
hard drill as to take off their boots
and go about lu loose slippers. As
many a man grown to honorable ma
turity can testify to the value of the
slipper as an Instrument of reform/It
may happen that the slipper will be as
potential as Red Cross conferences in
diminishing the horrors of war.?
Youth's Companion.
Red Tspe and Fire Fighting.
Conflagrations are hard to tight In
Constantinople because of the excess
of red tape. As recently as ten years
ago inueh time was wasted In getting
the lire brigade to work because leave
from Yildtz kiosk had to be obtained
before the signal could be tired. Fur
ther time was frequently wasted on
the spot because the Turkish tlromen
had a way before beginning operations
of making a leisurely oriental bargain
with the people whose property was to
bo saved. In one case when a village
caught lire In the winter the entire
place was destroyed aud many lives
lost through cold and privation owing
to this chaffering.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Winter Caro of Ram#.^
l>urlug tin* winter time If the mm be
young be should l>e kept lu a contlnu
ally lmprovlug condition. In ease be
bas matured bis body growth tbe ob
ject should be to keep him in a thrifty,
normal condition, never feeding heav
ily of fattening food. Nothing baa a
more injurious effect upon bis vitality
?than to overfeed, getting lilin too
fleshy, and then be forced by scant
feeding to reduce him for service. The
bulk of bis ration should be bright
clover hay, bean pods, straw aud an
occasional feed of corn fodder, never
feeding any of the above to excess.
We believe It a good plan to feed one
of each kind of ration at a time and
never enough of any one to cause a
stinted appetite. For grain we feed
quite liberally of oats and bran, not at
any time crowding him with fattening
grain, such as corn. We have fed en
silage to our ratus with entire success,
and we believe that for a part ration
as a succulent food there Is nothing
better. It Is a good plan to pick all the
corn out before feeding. Much care
must be exercised not to feed ensilage
so liberally as to cause the bowels to
become too loose.? C. I- C. Reynolds In
Ohio Farmer.
Feeding Alfalfa to Horses.
In a recent Issue of the Breeder's
Gafcette of Chicago Joseph E. Wing
says of feeding alfalfa to horses:
Wheu alfalfa hay Is first fed to
horses or mules not accustomed to It
and fed In large amounts It sometimes,
not always, makes them urinate more
freely than Is their wont. This Is
nearly always a very temporary effect,
and In a short time they eat alfalfa
hay with no other noticeable effect
than that they are in better flesh than
when eating other forajro, work better
and feel better.
Alfalfa hay for hor es or mules
should be allowed to get fairly mature
before cut, should be well cured and
have no mold on It. The last cutting of
alfalfa Is usually too late to nwk* ?he
best horse feed, the coarser <? i
growu earlier In the season se \i
better. Neither horses nor m;;!ei'
should be fed all the alfalfa hay tliey
will consume. It Is too rkh a IciJ,
and they do not need so much of It,
though It is ordinarily fed In limitless
amounts with no perceptible Injury.
Better Cows For the Dairy.
The dairyman with tbe unproductive
cow must make room for the better
animal and set himself to work (o get
better ones. How shall he do It? If
he ^vnnts to start In the right path
with least waste of time and money,
he must breed them. Get a bull of one
of the four dairy breeds and stick to
that breed. A general purpose breed
may be cheaper at first, but more ex
pensive In the end. A beef bull will
only lead him still further from the
straight and narrow dairy path. Milk
he must have, aud the sooner be yokes
up with a good dairy aulmal the sooner
will he get bis milk and consequent
butter fat. The animal that will sup
ply both beef and butter fat equally
well may exist, but the present out
look is that she Is too scarce for any
dairyman to look for with hopes of
success.? Hoard's Dairyman.
A Monkey Doctor.
A monkey In the zoo at De Soto park
Is entitled to the degree of M. D., ac
cording to Its keeper.
One of the monkeys In the cage
swallowed a marble. It had presence
of mind enough to suspend Itself by
the tall and hang bead down In an ef
fort to let tbe marblo drop from Its
throat, and, falling, It called In the
slmiap language, and ono of Its broth
ers responded.
The doctor monkey rammed its slen
der arm down the aflllcted one's
throat and extracted the marble. The
relieved sufferer seized the marble
from the doctor and threw It from the
cage with all Its strength.? Rome (Ga.)
