THE BROWN WOMAN.
At distance of about 30 miles from
Harper's Ferry it situated one of the old
est and quaintest towns in Virginia. Not
only do its historic associations attra.
the traveler, but the picturesque charm
of its old time homes induces him to ling
er there, hunting curios or pluckin,
thyme and myrtle from the garden of
s jme ancient dame. Of all these homes,
none so invites ttie curious passerby as
that of Mi Tolly Waller. A etone wall
ivy grown and discolored, encloses the
ejtacious garden in the centre of which
stands, this lady's house. What delights
are revealed to those w ho can roam at
will in this garden on a sunny day ! The
inner side of the stone wall is a back
ground against which one sees a row of
twisted white lilac bushes, the blossoms
of which in rprin fill the whole neigh-
bjrhood with their delicious sweetness.
A carefully trimmed and regularly grown
border of box incloses the flower beds
and outlines the well trodden gravel
walks, along the sides of which grow
rofcemary and calacanthus, yellow jis
mine and syringa, citron, aljes and da
mask roses.
One evening in the month of Septem
ber several ladies were gathered about a
card table in Miss IVly's front parlor
The evening being cool and windy, the
huge fireplace was piled high with bias
ing logs. So enticing did the Ore prove
that very soon all the ladies threw down
their cards and grouped themselves close
to the hearth. The hign wind outside
caused an over-hanging maple bough to
la.-'h itself against the window pane. This
excited the nerves of some of the ladies,
and this with the social and expansive
element which a tire has always the pow
to awaken, turned the conversation upon
the weird and fantastic
I can tell you a genuine story
and, what's more, every word of it is
true," said Miss lllunt, a lady, who
though still unwedded, could own to
years and experience suilicient to expect
that her word would bs accepted.
"Tell us! Tell us!" clamored half
dozen female voices.
"Well," began Miss Blunt, who was a
frail, nervous little woman, with wide
open, startled eyes, w hich one could easi
ly believe had acquired their present ex
pression from frequent observations of
ghodts. Before continuing she drew
nearer to the, fire, clasped one knee about
with both hands .nd continued : "iSome
years ago I went to New York on a visit
tj a relative. This cousin was descend
ed on the paternal side from an old Dutch
family, which in days long gone by had
built a great house in Bleecker street and
there for three generations had lived in
the erjoyment of wealth and high socia!
position. At last, however, evil days
came, the house iu Bleecker street pass
ed into strange hands, and the old family
became scattered.
"This cousin had somewhat regained
the wealth and position which his fami
ly had lost. By a strange fretk he re
bought the old house in Bleecker street,
preferring it to an cp town residence.
After he had refitted it, it made a charm
ing home. It was after he and his fami
ly had been living there for some months
that I went to visit them. When look
ing out of the windows, it seemed queer
to be in this part of New York, but when
I gave myself up to the comfort and beau
ty of the rooms it was as delightful as
any house I ever saw at least I thought
so, though the family itself did not seem
quite certain concerning it.
"My cousin, I could see, was charmed
with the success of his scheme and had
the satisfied air of a man who has played
a bold game and won. The wife and
daughter did not appear to partake of his
content. They were restless at times.
and I was inclined to think them want
ing in gratitude.
"One day 1 was sitting in my room,
untying some embroidery silks, when
upon looking op I saw standing before
me a little old woman, all dressed in
brown, w ith white handkerchief cross
ed upon her breast. Her face was that
of a foreigner, and her eyes had that pa
thetic, appealing look in them which
goes straight to the heart. Finding this
strange woman in my room unannounc
ed, I felt some surprise and questioned
her Bbarply. S'ae gave me no reply, but
stood there, look.ng me through, as it
were, with those pathetic eyes. Think
ing her some foreign sewing woman who
waj possibly embarrassed at ber inabili
ty to use the English language, I told ber
to accompany me down stairs, where
some one no donbt could be found who
would understand what she wished.
We started together out of the rocm.
I preceded, but kept her in sight. Upon
the stairs she seemed to disappear sud
denly. I called to her. I ran back to
see if I had been mistaken and if she lin
gered still in my room. I did not see her
anywhere. Then I concluded that she
had disappeared into one of the other
room?, and that I had better descend and
send some one to seek her. I went down
into the libra -y, w here my cousin's wife
and daughters were occupied with their
embroideries. I told them about the lit
tle woman np stairs and requested that
they look after her. When I had finish
ed my story my cousin's wife shivered a
little and remarked in a strained voice,
'That is strange. She rose from her
chair. 'You said she had very pathetic
eyes 7 she asked. 'Yes, the most pathet
ic I ever saw,' I replied. The girls look
ed down at their work, but said nothing.
Their mother left the room, but soon re
turned saying, 'It was nothing.' After
this we settled don to our work, and
the morning, though perceptibly chilled
by my little episode, passed quickly by.'
At this point in the narration all the
ladies drew closer together, and forming
a circle about the narrator urged her to
proceed.
".Some nights after this," continued
Miss Blunt, "I awoke suddenly from my
sleep, and there, standing by my bed.
almost bending oter me, I w clearlv
by thestreet light, which fell directly in
to my room, this si ns little woman, all
dressed in brown, with the white hand
kerchief crossed upon tier breast, and
looking earnestly at me as she had done
some days before. I sprang up quickly
and called to her aa I hastened to light
the gas, but she was not to be seen, nor
was there any sign of any one having en
tered my room. It is not necessary to
say that I bolted my door securely, wrap
ped myself in the blankets and sat up the
rest of night, This time I concluded that
my cousin's wife had some demented re
lative or friend confined in the house.
and that she had escaped accidentally
and made these excursions into mv room.
I determined to speak to my cousin in
the morning and obtain the truth from
him, and thus protect myself against
further alarm and fright. When I de
scended the next morning, I was so for
tunate as to meet my cousin alone in the
lower hall. 'Come into the library and
let me speak with yon,' I said. He led
me into the room, saying, laughingly,
'Have you, too, seen the ghost 7 Indeed
I have,' I replied, and then told him of
what had happened to me. He seemed
annoyed. 'It's very strange,' he said.
'No one is confined herein the house.
Soon after we came this same little brown
woman appeared to my wife. When she
told me of it I laughed at her. In a few
days, however, the thing repeated itself.
Both of the girls have seen her. I my
self have not yet been honored. Seri
outly, though, I begin to fear there is a
mystery. Something must be done. My
wife and daughters wished to give up the
house a month ago, but I felt that there
must be some mistake, and I determined
to remain and prove to them that either
it was their overwrought imaginations or
something which would in time explain
itself naturally."
"At breakfast my cousin related my
experience to the family. We discussed
the matter seriously. That same day
my cousin's wife heard low cries of dis
tress in one ofthe vacant bedrooms.
Summoned by ber, we went into the room
immediately, but found no one. On the
night of that day I was again awakened
from my sleep by the appearance at my
bedsiue of tnis same little woman as
silent and pathetic as ever.
"On the following day the cries of dis
tress were again heard in the vacant bed
room, but no clew to them could be dis
covered. Of course the whole household
was aroused and excited, and there was
little rest for any of us. Had it not been
for the ardent feeling of my cousin con
cerning the old family bouse nothing
could have held us there a day longer.
Appreciating his pride in the matter we
determined to wait awhile, and with the
assistance of skilled detectives see if the
mystery could be solved.
"A week passed, detectives came and
went, but they discovered nothing. In the
meantime, however, the little brown wo
man appeared twice to me in my room
and as often to my cousin's wife. When
we called or rang for some one, she dis
a( peared as suddenly and as mysterious
ly as she had come.
"I can give you no idea of the sensa
tion she produced upon those who saw
her. Above everything we saw at the
time and recalled afterward those pathet
ic eyes of hers, looking oeseechingly into
ours. Whoever she was, she was a wo
man of deep sorrow, and in some way,
we all felt, she represented some terrible
tragedy or nndying grief.
"One evening at the end of a week Mr.
Graves, a young detective, called and
asked to see the family. He was shown
into the Iibiary, and drawing a package
of papers from his pocket begged leave
to lay before us some information which
he had obtained. Somewhere in New
York, it seems, is kept a record of all the
old houses in the city. This enterprising
young detective, ba tiled by his investiga
tions at the house, was convinced from
what he had learned that the affair par
took of the supernatural ; consequently
consequently he had gone into these
records and hunting out that of this oi l
family in Bleecker street. What he told
Ui contained the only explanation of the
little brown woman which we have ever
had and as my cousin gave np the house
immediately none of us has ever seen
her since."
What was it?" asked in a whisper
the group of women.
"After this house had passed from my
ousins family," continued Miss Blunt,
it was occupied for some years, it seems,
by a M. Grovoche, a French wine merch
ant. He lived alone in Bleecker street
with his servants and was supposed to
have amassed a large fortune. When
some years bad gone by in this way, he
suddenly disappeared, and for many
years no explanation could be discover
ed. His mother, a peasant woman from
the Gironde, came to this country in the
hope of finding him. She spent the re-
maing years of her life in the search,
and the devotion and energy with which
she pursued her purpose made ber at one
time a familiar figure to the sol ice of
New York, and especially to the people
in Bleecker street, where she was fre
quently to be seen. The poor woman
died without obtaining any clew to the
fate of her son, and soon the whole mat
ter was lost sight of by those who had
taken an interest in ber. A few years
after her death a man died in New Jer
sey who left a confession to the effect
that the house of M. Grovoche in Bleeck
er street had been entered by him one
night with the intent to rob ; that M Gro
voche had discovered him concealed in
his bedroom and had attacked him ; that
forthwith he returned the attack and
murdered M. Grovoche by a thrust in
the side with a dagger. He knew the
house very well, for in planning the rob
bery he had been familiarizing himself
for some months with it, He dragged
the dead body below to a cellar, which
contained a drainage well, into which he
dropped it. He thea made his escape
noiselessly, leaving the treasures ofthe
house untouched. When search was
made fir the body, which w said to be
bur its 1 in tlie well, it was readily discov
ered aud identified as that of M. Gro
voche by a silver chain, anlcrujifix
which still hung about the skeleton's
neck. From that time until my cousin
bought and refitted the house it had re
mained vacant, and an air of my3tery
had clung about it. I have no doubt, un
less it has been pulled down to make
way for stores or warehouses, it is vacant
to-day and pointed at as a place where a
crime was enacted."
As Miss Blunt finished her story a very
handsome and stately ady entered the
room. She threw otf her wraps and drew
near the attentive group. As she did so
a blond young girl rose from her seat and
said to her in a husky voice :
"Mother, will you tell the-e ladies
what you saw in your room yesterday?"
"Oh, yes," exclaimed the lady. "Some
thing so strange, I must tell you. Yester
day morning as I was dressing, when I
had just lifted my face from its bath and
was about to give it its usual rubbing, I
saw bui ding before me the funniest little
old woman, all clad in brown, with a
white handkerchief crossed opon her
breast and with the most pathetic eyes I
ever beheld. They will haunt me to my
dying day. Just as I spoke to her, de
manding an explanation of this sudden
intrusion, she disappeared, and my
daughter there was awakened by my
running about the room calling: "Where
is she ? Where is she ?"
Mlas Blunt gave a scream of terror, ac
companied by the cry. "She has follow
ed me here!"
Everyone turned toward her in fright
With her face buried in her hand she fell
forward, sobbing convulsively. N. B.

Beef Tea For Roses.
All travelers agree, writes a Rome cor
respondent of the Buffalo Express, that
there are no where else roses so magni
ficent as those that cover the garden wall
ofthe old Roman palace in the Via Sisti
tini, in which once lived the famous
epicure, Lacullm.
Rome is a city of roses. They run riot ;
but those of the old palace have become
celebrated. Their odor is passionate in
its intensity. Their form, their every
petal, the way they hang upon their
stems, is picturelike. The color in some
is deep, deep crimson, almost black at
the heart, in others it is cameo pink,
changing to rich cream tints at the cen
tre ; others are the briuht yellow that
mellows into gold ; others are the white
that is like melted moonlight in the petal
cup.
I lived next door the house overlook
ing the palace garden, and I had fre
quently asked myself : "What has pro
duced these superb roses?"
One day I saw the gardener, whose
love for his roses is almost pagan, water
ing them carefully at the roots with
clear, dark liquid. I was sure that this
was the feeding that had to do with the
secret of their wonderful beauty.
On investigation I learned that tie
wealth of odor and coloring was there-
suit of animal food. That mysterious
libation which I had seen poured at their
roots was strong beef tea, made from
fresh cuts of beef and strained. The old
gardener himself invented the idea.
This reminded me how luxuriantly I
had seen ferns of every kind, even the
ruopt delicate, growing in several spotd
in Germany, where the brewers had be
stowed their refuse malt.
Keep Your Mouth Shut
Don't be offended. The admonition is
not meant as a reflection upon on your
talkativeness. Talk as much aa yen
please, but keep your mouth shut when
you are not talking.
People who keep their mouth closed,
except when they are talking, eating or
drinking, rarely contract colds or coughs.
Savages, even those living in northern
latitudes, seldom take cold. Scientists
say it is because they are close-mouthed.
Disease germs floating in the air find a
direct route into the lungs of a person
who breathes through his mouth. They
are arrested by the fine sieve-like net
work of hair in the nostrils of the indi
vidual who breathes through his note.
Keep your mouth shut and you defy pes
tilence,
The teeth suffer from too much and
too frequent exposure to the atmosphere.
Sudden changes of temperature, whether
liquid or atmospheric, are hurtful to
them. The best teeth in the world ate
those of .the savage tribes, whose mem
bers always keep their mouths shut ex
cept when talking or eating.
Throat and lung diseases are often con
tracted by persons who go round open-
mouthed. The frosty air ef winter, in
haled directly into the lungs through the
mouth, is a frequent cause of bronchial
disorders. Taken through the noee it is
modified and sifted of many of its dan
gers. Keep your month shut.
Water From a Tree.
There is a tree which grows in
Madagascar called the 'Travelers' tree"
which is ofthe greatest service to the
tired and thirsty travelers in that
tropical climate," said Professor Wilber
Stebbins, of Richmond, to a St. Louis
Gtobe-Dem'jcral reporter. "This wonder
ful tree has no branches, the leaves
growing from the trunk and spreading
out like the sections of a fan. These
leaves, of which there are generally not
more than twenty-four on each tree, are
from six to eight feet in length, and from
four to six feet broad. At the base of
each leaf ia a kind of cup containing
about a quart of cool, sweet water. The
natives save themselves the trouble of
climbing the tree by throwing a spear,
which pierces the leaf at the spot where
the water is stored. The water then
flows down into the vessel held beneath
it, and the traveler is enabled to continue
his journey, cheered and refreshed by
the precious liquid nature has so kindly
provided for his use."
Shall you go to the ball, Major?"

False Syntax for Economy.
The telegraph operators were telling
stories. The tall man, who has held a
key all over the country, had the floor.
"Yoa see a good many jukes in the pa

ton anil the habit people living there
have of using big words and correct
grammar and all that.
"Most of yoa think that these jokes
have no foundation. Now. I know bet

many years ago, and some of the mes
sages handed in to me were corkers.
"One summer I had the cable witdow.
One day two women dressed in black
and greatly agitated came in and inquir
ed the rate per word to London. I told
them it was 2S cents.
" They consulted for a minute, and
then one of them asked for a blank. I
told them where the blanks were, and
one of them wrote a message.
" The other took it and rea l it over
two or three times. Then sh c tma over
to the window and asked aain h ow

"'Twenty-eight cents,' I told her.
' She looked at the messaf? dubiously.
The other woman came np to her and
said :
''Don't you likeitr
- 'No,' she said, 'I don't like it. That
form is improper. You say that Charles
suicided this morning, when it should be
said that Charles committed suicide this
moruin.
"'But, said the other, 'if we put it in
that way we will stve twenty-eight
cents.'
" The woman who objected turned this
proposition over in her mind for a long
time. Finally she said :
"'I don't think suoh syntax is excusa
able.' " The other took the blank and read it
a few dozen times. AVre poor,' she
said decisive'y, after studying it in all its
phases, 'and we can't save twenty-eight
cents any easier.'
" This partially convinced the woman
who objected. 'But what will oar friends
think?' she asked, dubiously.
"'I futppose they will notice it, but we
ciu't help that.'
"Then the two women retired to one
corner and had a consultation.
"After talking earnestly for ten min
utes they wrote out another message.
So help me, this is the way I got :
"'Charles suicided this morning.
False syntax used because it is cheaper.'
And tbey paid me twenty-eight cent

the operator, " illustrates one of the cu

Setting a Hen.
Select the fmest hen for breeding.
Avoid those showing the slightest trace
of sickness or the effects of disease.
Fgs from fat hens, melting hens, imma
ture pullets or hens in a yard with a cock
having a frosted comb will not give
g'od results. Fowls having a strong,
bright eye and active are most desirable.
Chicks from 2 year old fowls grow faster,
mature earlier and feather more rapidly
than those from younger stock. If pul
lets are to be bred from, they should be
mated to a mature cock.
Begin to set hens as early in the sea
son as possible. The evening is the bert
time. Do not be in too great baste in
giving her the es. Try her first with a
few eggs to see if she is content in her
new quarters. Whatever receptacle is
uiel for the nest it should be painted
with tar or thoroughly soaked with ker
osene. Have the nest flat on the ground
if possible ; if not, place a sod or a layer
of soil threo or four inches deeo in the
box. Sprinkle wood ashes or air slacked
lime over this and put in clean fresh
s raw or hay. Dost the hen aul nest
thoroughly with fresh iosjet Ipowder.
Vermin multiply with great rapidity nn-
der a setting ben, and the warfare
against them must commence in the
stirt.
If possible, the settin j hens should
have a room to themselves while set
ting. The time a hen should be allowed
to be absent trocu the nest varies some
what, according to the weather. If very
cold a quarter of an hour is sufficient,
but in the summer half an hour is nut
too long. Provide a dust box well tup-
pi ied with hard coal ashes and dirt
Give fresh food and water every day.
A Pretty Face.
Take the case of a lovely human face,
says a writer in the Sunday .Vu'-ine.
It may be asked, "What can science say
about this without detracting from its
charm ?" If beauty were only skin deep,
we might dread her interference heie.
But science says that beauty is not skin
deep. She can tell you that half the
chirm of that face at least the ex
pression is a matter of little muscles
and a complex labyrinth of nerves. That
the curves of the lips, the glance of the
eyes, the droop of their lids, are a matter
of the prevalent use of certain small mus
cles in obedience to a prevalent aspect
ofthe mind. Moreover, that the use of
these organs of expression has come
down long ancestral lines, and that the
mould of the features themselves is a
question of heredity. "What U life?
is a question with which men have puz
zled themselves in vain from all time.
Religous, Not Pious.
Rev. Rowland Hill was a witty and
eccentric minister, and several inter
esting stories are told concerning him,
among them these :
A man was one day calling upon him
and setting forth some very peculiar
religious views.
"Do yoa hold the Ten Commandments
to be the rule of life for Christians V
asked Mr. Hill.
"Certainly not," was the reply.
The minister rang the bell, and when
the servant appeared he aaid to him :
'John, show this man to the door and
keep your eye on him nntil he is beyond
the reach of every article of wearing ap
parel in the hall."
One Sabbath several persons entered
his chapel to avoid the falling rain.
"Many persons are to be blamed for
making their religion a coat," said Mr.
Hill, "but I do not think those are much
better who make it an nmbrella." Ram'$

Dangers of Dancing.
The medical authority of the New
York croAr EurOHan edition argues
that modem dancing in close and crowd
ed parlors and ballroom is very unde
sirable in a hygienic point of view.
This authority says: "Physicians are
unanimous in condemning dancing as it
is understood at present ; but it might
be made a hygienic exercise if it were
executed in the open air and in the
daytime, and if the amount of the exer
cise was in proportion ti the strength
of the dancers."
After a bail it is quite common to find
that many delicate youag women show
signs of disturbed heart-action, or of
laryngitis, colds, bronchitis and some
timed pneumonia and pleurisy. In all
cases of consumption dancing should t e
rigidly forbidden, as it may cause the
disease to assume a rapid form of fatal
development. In cardiac troubles also
indulgence in dancing is likely to prove
very dangerous. The WrnltVi medical
correspondent says:
It is scarcely necessary to refer to tLe
dust of all kinds, to the innumerable
microbes that the dancers send flying
into the air, nor need we speak of the
untimely strain imposed on the organism
which at a time when it ought to lie at
rest is, on the contrary, overexcited.
What greater mistake than the midnight
supper, at which the most unwholesome
things are eaten and drunk ? The guests
bolt in a very short time food that is
generally heavy and washed down with
strung wines, and this is scarcely over
before the dancing is resumed against the
most elementary rules of common snse
and hygiene. Nor is this all ; it ia not
the body alone that is concerned, as the
niiud has its share in this fatigue by the
vivid emotions produced by the con
versation, music and flowers.
To Halp a Town
Kick.
Kick hard.
Kick at everything.
Don't pay a cent under any ci renin -stances
adve tisiu or otherwise and
kick continually.
Refuse to enter any combination that
will be a bent!!', to anyone but yourself.
Always speak ill of your competitor in
business; kick at the merchants, school
teachers, doctors, newspapers, town board
aud everything else.
Always buy of peddlers, if possible,
and give your home merchants the go
by.
Speak of your own town as the most
immoral place on earth, and say a bad
word for it every chance yoa get.
If a stranger comes to town, tell him
that everything is overdone and that the
town is no good on general principles.
This will be a good drawing card to new
business and industries.
Stop your home paper,ask your friends
to do so, and insist that they take some
paper published elsewhere. This will
give your home paper a great boom, and
assist the editor materially, which you
must avoid above everything else..
If yoa are in business, don't advertise.
Buy a rubber stamp and use that It
may save you a few dime, and look so
much nicer than if printed by an artist.
Kick because yoa and your friends are
not permittl to run the ton, aud if
you run it kick anyway.

Information reached this city through
a southern detective yesterday that
Mallie Miller, the woman moonshiner, of
Polk county, Tennessee, died a few daya
ago at her home in the mountains.
Her operations at one time were car
ried on very extensively, and she was at
the headof a gicir which was involved
in more I I ly fiVi!: with revenue uf
licus than an y other i-rgan'ued ia the
south. Her tirst eiperence was in the
mountains of Sevier county, where she
assisted her fa'her, Saiu Miiler. Here
Deputy Marshal McPberson led a raid
under a uide who bad a grudge against
Miller. In an almost inaccessible gorge
the officer encountered the moon
shiners. A bloody fight followed, and three of
the revenue men were killed, the others
retreating. It was noticed that a young
girl was one of the party, and it has al
ways been believed that she killed one
of the officers. Another raid was made,
in which Miller was killed and bis as
sociates captured. About this time the
revenue officer received a box containing
tlie remains of the man who had inform
ed npoa the gang. There was nothing
to indicate from whom it came, and the
box must have been carried by a wagon
and left at the marshal's house.
The woman was not found, and ii was
soon known that she had fled. In a few
months Polk county, which had always
furnished onniJe-able illicit whisky, be
came the headquarters of the moonshin
ers throughout east Tennessee, and raid
followed raid until! there was scarcely a
cave on the Iiiawassee river that had not
been the scene of some bloody fight be
tween the moonshiners and revenue
men.
It became known that this woman w;us
a leader, but she was never arrested but
once, and then the proof was such that
she escaped with a light sentence. After
the Knoxville Southern railroad was
built the country became too easy of
access, and, with the exception of an
occasional petty offender, the gang was
broken up. The woman moonshiner
retired to a small firm where she re
mained undisturbed, except at two cr
three times, when she waa taken to Chat
tanooga as a witness, when she would
collect her fees and start on a walk over
the mountains, a distance of 0 miles to
her home.
It is supposed that the killing of three
revenue officers and four or five inform
ers can be charged to her directly, while,
thegnngof which she was a member
could be held accountable for several
others, but it was never possible to prove
these charges and she died without ever
having been tried for them." Ciwinnttti
Victims of Fool's Gold.
. Stretched flat on his stomach on the
gravelly walk in front of the eatit en
trance bo the Mining building, with hia
noee within one inch of the ground, lay
a small boy last Sunday. Around hi tu
were as subsequent investigation show
ed one brother, his mother, two siotern,
one cousin, one aunt and one grandmoth
er. The brother and bisters were scat
tered around in position somewhat
similar to the youthful hero of this story.
Their noses were equally close to the
ground. The olfactory appendages be
longing to the elder members of the
party were as near to mother earth as
theL half squatting, half-sitting posture
permitted. Each and every member of
this aggregation was busy busy scratch
ing gravel. With infiuite care every
inch of ground was inspected, and every
once in a while an exultant cry of "got
some" from one individual would spur
the others on to renewed exertions.
One bystander finally went to the small
boy and queried :
"What are you looking for, son ?"
"told," waa the sententious answer.
"Found any ?"
"Yep."
Slowly he opened his tightly closed
left hand and exhibited half a dozen
grains of iron pyrites, worth about T cents
a pound.
All of which is but history under a
mix lern guise. When the earth gave up
