In a letter of inquiry from a physician living in the vicinity, the following facts were given: The man was of inâ€" ferior intelligence, with a large physiâ€" cal frame, and inclined to follow very' methodical babits of living. While the effects of his drinking were noc! prominent in his appearance, they were evident in his children. Of three children by his first. wife, two died in ~infancy.

I ‘In her home life Mrs. Kidder conducts | . a houschold that is the ideal of hospitalâ€" ) ity. The house is elegantly furnished and |; is a mansion in size and costliness, yet there is not a miner or railroad employee t so humble that he does not receive the same eordial welcome at the threshold |â€" that is accorded to the most fashionable and wealthy callers. The Kidder home is also placed at the disposal of the disâ€" tinguished men and women of the day j who happen to come to Grass Valley to | view the mines of the historic little city. || Like her husband, when he was living, |â€" there is but one thing in which Mrs. Kidâ€" der takes more pride than in the Nevada County Narrow Gauge railroad, and that |, is in the home over which she presides. She says it is a fine place and a pleasant home, and she wants all her friends to share her enjoyment of it. Mrs. Kidder‘s sole companion is her adopted daughter, Miss Beatrice Kidder, whom she loves and cares for as tenderly as ever did a mother for her own.. Mrs. Kidder says she does not see how she is _going to pass the time while her daughter is finishing her education, and the only solution she can think of is to busy herâ€" self the more in her manifold daily duties. Mrs. Kidder‘s railroad is only 23 miles long, but it cost $650,000. It runs from Colfax, on the Central Pacific, through Grass Valley to Nevada City. It runs four passenger trains each way daily and a couple of freight trains. As the populaâ€" tion of the two principal towns is about $.000 and ©6,000 respectively, it may be well understood how well the road progâ€" pers in a business way. 3 The Canadian Engineer, Toronto, has issued a new chart of the metric system of weights and measures. â€" It is founded on our decimal system of notation, and its striking simplicity is exemplified by the fact that they have been able to give the entire s;stem of weights and measâ€" ures on this single chart, with a clue to the equivalent English measures and weights.
