One cannot look with anything
like regTet upon the ruin, and deso
lation that is making itself manifest
every year in the beautiful city of
KnotwelL says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. One hundred and twen-
ty-iour miles from St. Ixuls, on a
sunny southern slope of the
Ozarks, overlooking the picturesque
valley where the Beaver and Little
Piny ripple tranquilly through rich
farming lands, this decaying town
stands. Twenty-five neat little cot
tages, five pretentious dwellings, a
hotel, a mammoth storehouse, with
public hall; a splendid, smelting
works, with ore sheds, office buud
ing, coal houses, a j pretty s little
church all stand silent and tenant
less. The 'Frisco trains no longer
stop there; they ' do not even
stir the solitude with a whistle as
they rush past.
About twenty years ago "William
James, a wealthy and philanthropic
gentleman, for whom St. James,
Mo., is named, in company with
James Lunn, conceived the idea of
building a smelter and surrounding
it with a - little town, with all mod
ern conveniences, for the benefit of
their works. The work was pushed
and the smelter built at a large
outlay. The storehouse, publio halL
cottages and every building erected
were substantially done. - These res
idences were supplied with clear,
cold water, brought from a spring
one and a half miles - up the moun
tain into a brick and cement reser
voir, from which pipes were run Into
every house and regular hydrants
supplied. cnarcoai ranges were
placed in the kitchens of the cot
tages and everything done that could
be aevtsed lor the comfort ox em
ployes' families, not omitting a
church and scb.oolb.ouse, large store
house, public hall and free library,
The works started np in 1875 .with
two hundred men employed In
smelting, mining ore and 'cutting
wood and making it into charcoal.
for the works. Theore was taken from
the Criminous' ore bank, on Beaver
creek, and for a time things went on
swimmingly, ihe town was in a
healthy, happy and prosperous con
dition and was named" Ozark. The
smelter was known as the Ozark
Iron works. Fully fifteen thousand
acres of timber land were bought for
the plant and for nearly two miles
in three directions one can see where
the oaks -were cut away and find rel
ics of the coal pits in which the wood
was charred as fuel for the smelter
and cabins of the workmen.
When two years had passed and
t)zark began to be known In the
world and envied, the ore gave out
where an exhaustless deposit was
supposed to exist. This was a calam
ity unexpected by the proprietors,
but they went ahead prospecting and
rinding small deposits within a rea
sonable distance from the works,
but were soon compelled to go to
remote points, for ore. Most of It
was brought from a mine on the:
Cuba branch, a distance of forty-six
miles by rail, which added to the
cost of production of pig Iron to
such an extent that profits became
infinitesimal for a time and then dis
appeared, leaving the works-run-'
ning at a loss. During all this
time the proprietors of the
Ozark Iron works had experts
prospecting for ore in the locality of
tbeir plant, but without success.
After working and hoping for years,
sinking- money all the time,1 the seal
of doom was set upon the little city
on the mountain side' that started
out under promise of perpetual
prosperity, peace and plenty. Mr.
Jams was forced' into bankruptcy,
compelled to sacrifice his magnficenl
home and immense hay farms at St.
James and begin to look around to
save the remnants of his fortune,
while James Dunn struggled a little
onger with Ozark. Finally the fires
were put out, the works closed and
nothing was left to show for the
million expended except the plant.

respondents have asked for Informa
tion on the subject, says Maria
Parloa, in Ladies' Home Journal.
Suppose you have a bag in -some
closet where you put every scrap of
silk you come across, roch as trim
mings cut from dresses when dress
making; old ribbons which children
may Lve worn In their hair soiled
and faded it may be, yet serviceable
when washed; sash curtains, worn
1 and faded; covers of parasols; in
' fact, anything in the way of silk,
satin or velvet. Nothing Is too old
to be used. A miscellaneous lot
will give your portieres the Oriental
neck and arms, and strings of emer- j look you desire. But the sewing of
aids hang from his belt, while the
buttons oh this' wonderful garment
are pearls set in diamonds.
This extravagant monarch lives
for pleasure pnly, and his enormous
revenue, amounting to thirty million
dollars, Is nothing more than pin
money for his highness.
The laws of the land do not per
mit the nizam to marry, and this is
the only law to which he is forced to
submit, the other laws being made
for his subjects only. To compen
sate himself for the denial of Hy
men's bliss he keeps a harem of five
hundred women, wno come from
every corner of the globe, according
to the: St. i Louis Post-Dispatch.
When one of these women is dis
missed she receives a handsome com
petency. 1 i '
The capital of the territory of the
nizam is very striking in- appear
ance, the palace, the mosques and
the handsome pile of buildings erect
ed for the British residents tower
ing above the outer wall.
The nitam's principal palace is
situated In the heart of the city, and
Is guarded on all sides on account of
the fabulous' wealth which it con
tains, the value of which is estimat
ed at forty millions of dollars. It is
the largest collection of jewels in the
world. . (
The j crown contains the ' largest
diamond extant,-the Nizam, which
weighs four hundred and fifty car
ats, and is j worth four millions of
dollars'. The nizam of Hyderabad,
besides being an all-around sport, is
a very daring tiger hunter, ahd is
noted for some wonderful. feats in
that direction.

John Daszkowski, a resident of
Winona since 1879, has just received
from i Jastrzembie, West Russia,
news that one thousand dollars was
recently dug up on his old home
plaoe In 1792 the Daszkowski
amlly was rich and powerful, own
ing the above named village in the
province of Berent-Danzlg. Lauren z
Daszkowski, ; brother of John
Daszkowskl's grandfather, was a
wealthy bachelor, drafted into the
Russian army, where he was killed.
Nothing was ever known as to the
whereabouts : of his wealth, which
was all in cash. - John Daszkowski,
with his three brothers, fell heir to
the estate, and twenty-five years ago
J$hn sold his portion to one John
Szalewski and emigrated to America,
settling in Winona.
He received word from the man 1 paper in lust the
who purchased his farm that in dig
ging.around the roots of an old pear
tree a badly-decayed half -bushel
measure, containing goioen aucais
and silver! thalers had been un

cient date, and aside from their in-
trinsic value about 1,000 are 1
valuable to numismatics. Daszkow- :
them will try .your patience. Cut I olution
all but the very, thin suk, the velvet I test
( and the satin, one-third of an Inch
wide, the velvet, satin and thin silk
' two-thirds of an inch wide. Do not
begin to sew until you have a big
basketful cut. Mix your colors well
, before sewing them. Lay the end
' of one piece flat on the end of an
other, lapping half an inch, and sew
all around the four sides of your
lap, using a number sixty thread
and a running stitch. Fasten firm
ly. As you sew the velvety satin
and thin silk, fold them so that both
sides may be the same. Do not dis
card the small pieces. It is tire
some to sew them, but if you use
them for this hit-or-miss stripe you
will have this fact to comfort you:
the smaller these pieces are the more
beautiful will this stripe be Inyour
portiere. - As soon as you nave
several yards sewed begin to wind
your ball and wind solidly. Make
the balls as large as you choose.
Now take out your old black silk, of
which very likely you have a good
many pieces; but before you begin
with these buy some gilt tinsel
braid about half an inch wide. It
costs about one dollar and a half for
a dozen pieces of ten yards each. At
every three or four yards of your
. blackcuttlng sew in a quarter of a
yard of the gilt braid. It will add
much beauty to the weaving. , Your.
bright silks come next. Cut them
separately. They may -not make
many yards, but wind them into a
little ball, even as small an amount
as six yards, especially If you have
some pretty colors. They will show
j well in your curtain. You may
have old white or faded silk. If it
: is soiled wash it and get a package
of good dye to color it. Excellent
1 success may be had with the yellows
and reds. You have old black silk
velvet. . It looks well as a strip from
six to nine inches from the top of
your curtain. Old silk stookings
weave in beautifully. You should
cut them from the top round and
round the leg, and you have it all
done without any sewing. Cut this
material a little wider than the plain
silk, because it will stretch. It will
take . one pound of silk for every
square yard of portiere. You want
them woven, say fifty-four inches
wide and three yards long.,. For a
pair o curtains of that size you
want nine pounds of ' silk. The
arrangement of the coloring in the
strips may be pretty safely left to
the weaver. You . can, if you
choose, take cut pieces of all your
colors and sew or paste them on
design you desire

Goethe, it must be remembered,

greatly rejoiced over the fact that
the youthful physicist, SL Hilaire,

the sashes are smashed in. The
steps have been torn away from the
cottages, while brush and scrub oak
almost hide them and the church

How th Minors Ledge UghthouM
i Was Built. .
Wok could be carried on only
from April to September, the sea be
ing too rough at other times to ad
mit of the workmen gaining a foot
ing on the ledge, or even of ap
proaching it with safety. The first
blow was; struck Sunday morning,
July 1, 16UV The building of Mi
not's Ledge lighthouse was a work
for humanity, and therefore Sunday,
the first day the weather had been
propitious for beginning operations,
was utilized. The weather allowed
of only one hundred and thirty work
ing' hours at the ledge that entire
season, j Preparing a partly-submerged
rock to receive the founda
tions of a granite tower Is quite a
different matter from digging hole
in the ground on shore. Guards
in boats constantly plied around the
ledge to pick up workmen who
might be washed off into the sea,
and their services were frequently
required. .
Not until July 9, 1857, could the
first stone be laid. During that
season there were again only one
hundred and thirty working hours
at the ledge. Anticipating such a
contingency, CapL Alexander had
picked out a force of good all-round
workmen, so that when work had to
be suspended on the ledge tbe mor
ale of his force would be maintained
by keeping the ' men occupied on
shore in shaping the granite blocks
for the tower, and fitting tbe courses
on a model, so that no time would
be lost in correcting errors after
tbe blocks had been shipped to the
ledge. As a matter of fact, work on
the model disclosed several miscal
culations which would have caused
annoying delay had they not been
discovered In time to be rectified on
shore The tower was completed
September IS, 1860, in .1,103 hours
and 21 minutes, at a cost of $300,
000. In shape it is the f rostrum of
a cone, pne hundred and fourteen
feet and one inch in height, includ
ing the lantern. Gustav Kobbc, lo

The chief causes of decay in the
teeth are an accumulation of tartar
about their necks and the retention
of small portions of food In the in-
tersticee between the teeth, which
by decomposition, sets up an - acid
fermentation that reacts on the ele
ments of which the teeth are com
posed, disintegrating them and set
ting up decay. The great rhing is
then, by perfect cleanliness and oth
er means, to remove these deposits
before they have time to work mis
chief. First, as to the proper pow
der to be used. Many of the' adver
tised nostrums contain acid materi
als which, though they thoroughly
clean tbe teeth, do so at the expense
of the enameL which they tend to
dissolve. Astringent washes habit
ually used and strong alkaline
washes are injurious, as also' are
tooth powders containing grit
ty materials : which scratch and
roughen instead of polishing the
enamel, such as charcoal and as
tringent barks in powder. For or
dinary purposes any preparation
containing a gritty substance or a
bleach en agent to whiten the teeth
is decidedly injurious and should be
avoided. If a tooth wash Is pre
ferred it should be slightly alkaline,
soapy, aromatic, slightly astringent
and pleasant-' Good soap, unfortu
nately, is not pleasant, but it is very
efficient A little of the white Cas
tile soap taken upon the brush or a
saponaceous dentifrice may safely be
used. In addition to the soap, some
precipitated chalk or1 other non
gritty material is usefuL There is
nothing that will surpass the fol
lowing. It is saponaceous, deter
gent, odoriferous, aromatic and
withal safe and pleasant: Oss
Sepias Gevlgated), powtd Flor
entine orris root. powdered
starch, of each one ounce; pow
dered white Castile soap, three
ounces; otto of roses eight drops;
mix and keep in a covered jar
for use. It is not a bad plan to
wash out the mouth each time after
taking forxl with a little Rightly alka
line wash. As, for Instance, a few
grains of carboacte of soda in a wine
glass of water, to which may be add
ed half a tcasonful of sol-volatile.
Next as to the tooth brush. This
should be selects "with rare. It
should not bo too hard. . but rather
of a medium character, not too wide,
yet having proper regard to the for
maIon of the moiftb and teeth, and
the bristles should be long and elas
tic; preferably, they should b un
bleached. The movement of the
brush should be upward and down
ward (vertical), In order that the
Interstices should be well cleansed.
When acid medicines, fruit or drink
are taken, tbe teeth are "set on
edges," and the acid has a destruc
tive action on the teeth. To pre
vent this, acid medicines shou.d be
taken through a tube, and tbe mouth
rinsed by an alkaline wash, as be
fore mentioned. N. Y. Ledger.
