The town of Cooper Is in Washing
ton county, in theejtrcrue southeastern
part of Maine, anil is the fourth town
ship west of Calais Tbe nearest rail
road station is Marion, in the second
township south. Prospecting lor mo
lybdenite has been carried on at sev
eral points in Ibis locality, but the only
Important development thus far is 1 hat
on the property of the American Mo
lybdenum company.
The molybdenite occurs both in peg
matite dykes and in the granite cut by
these dykes A number of distinct peg
matite dykes were seen on this property,
varying in width from a few inches to
aoveral feel In these the molybdenite
occurs in lead-gray hcaugouaJ crystal*
of short prismatic habit or as lees reg
ular foliated masses often with radiate
structure The molybdenite is found
also In small flakes or larger nests of
disseminated throughout the
granite mass
Molybdenite occurs ai severnl other
IamIIMm in Maine, as well as in the
other New England states It Is usu
ally found In Bmall flakes disseminated
through the granite or gneiss, so that
the Cooper occurrence is of epeciaJ
Interest by reason of the light it
throwe on the origin of tbie mineral.
The pegmatite dykes are probably
approximately contemporaneous with
the granite intrusion, representing
the latest, crystallisation of the gran*
(tic magma, and therefore intruding
the consolidated granite In this
pegmatite magma molybdenum disul
phide appears to have been a promi

ite may he either the result of impreg
nation at the time of the pegmatitie
intrusion or it may be an original con
stituent. The former view is support
ed by the apparently larger amount in
s the granite near the dykse
The oree of molybdenum have been
In greater demand since molybdenum
has been used in the manufacture of
steel to increase its hardness and
toughness. Tbs comparative rarity and
htgb cost'of the oree, have, however,
Mmtted its use
The economic value of such a deposit
an the Coopet molybdenite is partly con
jectural. Tbe conditions for quarrying
and mining both the pegmatite and the
wail rock appear favorable, and con
siderable work of this kiud has been
done The rock lying on the dump
contained varying proportions of mo
lybdenite, but it seemed tbat most of
the crude ore could be isudily distin
guished and separated from the bar ten
rook by band picking The crucial test
Of the successful working of such a de
posit is doubtless connected with tbe
milling process, rather thus with the
mining methods A compact pluut for
treating the molybdenite ore has Iwcl
erected by tbie company but the de
tails as to cost of crushing the rock and

""Why do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of un
grammatical speech that will have to be
conquered In after-life?” asked a spin
ster of a mother,
“Because they hate to worry the poor
little tilings about such matters when
they arc young and should be care free.
It seems cruel to be all the tame cor
recting them and keeping them on their
good behavior, They will have to learn
the rules of our dreadful language ail
too soon as it Is.” v

laughing, "that there is much ridicule
of ‘old maids' children.,’ but I believe
ihat my theory in this' case is correct,
it is a positive unkjndness to Jet your
child double his negatives and say
"ain’t,” when several years from now- be
will be harshly reproved for such
lapses. The child must learn to talk,
anyway, and is it not as easy to teach
him to say 'It is .1ns ‘It's me?" And is

A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells (hnt they have some very
curious criminal laws down there. For
example, the statutes make it twice as
much of on offense to mutilate the face
of a woman as that of a man. While in
the City of Mexico he attended court
one day and saw a man sentenced to
om year in prison for cutting lus para
mom across the face with a knife. If
ills victim had bee a a man the sentence
woult; not have been m )re than four
month* <11 the outside. The law seems
tc. be based on the idea that a woman’s
best possession in her beauty, and that
to mu r it does her a great injury. There
s another curious law. If a persou
should b* wounded in an encounter the
punishment to the offender is fixed by
the number of days his victim,has to
stay in the hospital or under a doctor’*
care. A line is fixed at 40 days in t.hp
way of a general division. If the in
jured man occupies more than 40 days
in his recovery the penalty doubles up.

FEET AND INTELLECT.
Petplr with Small Fetal Be treat It lea
Are Hat Alwaye Possess#* at »■*
yerlar Meatal Ae« el re wests.
Small feet are considered by many ta
be a mark of ariBtocracy, but they cer
tainly do not indicate anperiority of
Intellect, for many women of aupreme
intelligence have bad very large feet,
George Eliot, for instance, who re
aorted to all kinds of devices to make
her big, broad, flat feVlt appear less
enormous. Mmt. De Stael, the most bril
liant woman Intellectually of her day,
had such immense and uugainly feet
that she was made miserable by tbe
consciousness of their undue propor
tions. and knew that she was the sub
ject of many a joke on their account.
Her face was not beautiful, but her
figure was handsome and statuesque,
and she once ventured to assume the
role of a Greek statue in some tableaux
vivants which were given before an au
dienc e composed of clever and distin
guished people, among whom was the
w itty Talleyrand. Mme. De Stael was
grievously offended at hearing that her
brilliant friend had invented a bon mot
at her expense by remarking that he
had recognized tiie impersonator of the
Greek character at once by the "pied
de Stael.”
The Germans and Scotch are credited
with having the largest feet in Europe,
and Spanish women, particularly An
dalusians, the smallest. The queen re
gent, who is Austrian and of as aristo
cratic a descent as the most fastidious
could desire, is not blessed with small
feet ; they are laree and broad, and al
though, of course, she has the beet of
uhausseurs that money can procure,
they never look neat. This is one ol
the grievances that tbe Spaniards have
against her, for they have a horror of
big feet on a woman, and look upon
such a defect akin to crime.
1 know a Spanish lady who went to
Berlin, and a few days after her arrival,
on dressing for a ball she discovered
that her maid bad forgotten to pack the
case containing her evening shoes. She
sent out. for a pair, giving one of he;
walking shoes as a sample, and after a
prolonged absence the messenger re
turned saying that no shoemaker bad
anything so small on his premises ex
?ept for very young children. Thv
ivholt city was searched, with the same
result, ana she was obliged to wear bei
walking shoes until some could be madt
for her. The shoemaker did not hart
a last small enough, and a special onr
oad to be made, which fact gives elo
quent if not altogether flattering proof
concerning the truth of what we heat
scent the size of the German ladies
feet. Such a size and ahape as 5 A
would. I think, not be found in any oth
er country, yet it is commonly asked
for here. English women are great
walkers, and wear wide, comfortable
boots for their long rambles through
muddy country lanes—they scorn rub
bers—and in consequence their feet
have become broad, but compared to
those of their Scotch sisters they are
fairylike. '
French women have short, thick feet
ond their shoes made rather to increase
this appearance than otherwise. They
wear their high heels almost in the mid
dle of the foot, the inBtep Is padded to
arch it. and she w hose foot is long and
narrow will use every art to take ofl
about half its length, the result be
ing that as she gets older she is so
troubled with corns and bunions that
a pair of good old felt slippers—‘her
husband's preferably—are the only
things she can endure with comfort,
and in these she will shuffle about the
house, an eyesore to everyone who sees
her. donning the high heels, however,
for outdoor wear religiously, for a true
French woman will suffer the tortures
of the inquisition every day of her life
with ail the fortitude of a saint rather
that w-ear a sensible, low-heeled shoe
tLat would give any idea of the real
shape of her foot.—N. Y. Telegram.

A year bgv»a utucngo woman was vis
Itiug In b New York village. She went
with her nostess to make a call on the
next-door neighbor. The woman on
whom she was culling incidentally men
tioned that she expected a niece who
was just graduating at some college.
'Her name was not mentioned. A few
days later the Chicago woman 'eft. On
tier way to the station site stopped next
loot to get a parcel. it was handed to
tu by n young woman. That is all
there was H. that end of the slory.
One day lately the Chicago woman j
went on a la he trip. On the boat she
met a young woman trout a neighbor
ing state. Fa»-n thought the other's
luce was'familiar, hot neither said any
! thing about it. Finally a common
l friend happened to mention a Miehi
i gan summer resort to the Chicago wont
I an. The Chicago woman had never
: been there, but had relatives who went
there every year. This led to a men
tion of the Mew York village. In »
flash the Chicagq woman knew that the
girl with the familiar face was the one
who gave her the parcel 1 he day she
left. The minute the name of the vil
nge was mentioned to the girl she ree
| ognized the Chicago woman as 1be one l
I to whom she had handed the parcel,
