We are never made better by our giv- trig until voe give enough. Some men are born rich, some achieve richness and some marry American heiresees at the expense of very little effort. There may be a change in public opinion about the brutality of prize- fighting after the Thanksgiving day football games. A train on the Chicago and West Michigan railway tim as stalled by a sand- storm one day last week. That's the road that's got the and. As near as can be made out at this distance Lord Dunraven is dissatisfied with Mr. Iselin because he offered him another chance to be defeated. If the bloomer girl had lived in St. Paul's day there would have been some uncomplimentary remarks about her in the First Epistle to the Corinthians. Whether or not there is anything in Physiognomy, there is no doubt that some men's characteristics are betrayed by their faces. For example, if a men bas a bottle nose you may know he is fond of liquor. Chicago has 11,000 children too many for her schools slid twenty new build, inga have been erected during the past year. This gives one an idea how Chi- cago is getting there. The number of pupils enrolled this year exceèds 175,- 000. The Olympian games are to be re- vived at Athens, in Greece, next April,. and it is time for the winners of the American events in athletics this year to put themselves in communication with the director of the games. The American universities ought to be well represented. In addition to taking part in the games they can brush up their Greek in conversation and reading the daily papers. One thing may frankly and truthfully be said—in no part of this country to- day is the old-fashioned American Sun- day—a day of cessation from secular labor, respectful quiet, and worship for all who aro inclined—so generally ob- served as In the south. This fact is noted with extreme gratification by northern visitors, already unhappily familiar with current practices throughout this section and the west particularly. A young man shot a young woman because she would not love him any more. It seems that some people will never learn that what may appear very romantic when enacted on the stage :with subdued lights, soft music and !blank cartridges is nothing more than the silliest sort of foolishness in every- day life. If our young people would be a little more careful about their diet they would not be so liable to lose the little brains with Which they were en- dowed. A Pittsburg dispatch says the boom In structural iron IS so great the manu- facturers are unable to supply the de- mands. For two months the Carnegie structural mills have been running to the limit. The company put a time limit on the delivery of cofor all kinds of material structural work. It was announced two weeks ago that no orders for material to be de- livered within sixty daym would be ac- cepted. This week the limit has been raised, and orders• for delivery under three months are refused. The name conditions apply to other large struc- tural mills. It Is estimated that the Carnegie Company has contracts on hand at present aggregating almost 1,000,000 tona of structural material. The limit of production for the re- mainder of the year will not go much beyond 100,000 tone, and the contracts on hand will run well into 1896. The International Co-operative Con- gress at Gondon was attended by dele- gates from Italy, from the peopleai banks of Itetgliim, the French Agri- cultural Syndicates, from British Co- operative Stores, and from ‚dinner and other cooperative organizations in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Auetria- Hungary. Roumania, Resale, Servia and Australia, the primary purpose be- ing to ascertain how far the Co-opera- tive principle had been or wee eapable of being applied to industrial enter- prise in their reapective countries. The discussion on the co-operative store movement, particularly in the United Ki ng d om , seemed to evoke great en- thmilasin. most Fa tlafactory resulte at en -operation having apparently been achieved in that direetion.

Who Was Enabled to Draw the Pensions of Two Soldier. A regular personiticatit n of de- ceased pensioners has boon discovered at the station of Dapoolie. This is a delightful, healthy place in the dis- trict of Ratnagiri. about five miles from the sea, at an elevation of 600 feet. It was the residence of veteran sepoys who had been pensioned after doing good service in 1857-5. An anonymous potition brought to light the distressing fact that pensions had been drawn long after the decease of the real incumbents, and that there was, besides an original scheme by which pensions still due to survivors had been intercepted and were in the main enjoyed by money lenders in the bazaar and by the native clerks of the department,saya the Saturday Review. A long investigation followed, in which the military authorities were all but baffled. But by the skill of as Englishman in the ordnance depart ment and of an intelligent Parsee books were seized, rolls were in- spected, and it was found that one Tannak, who had originally been in- tended for the army, had been in the habit of dressing himself up as a pen- sioner and drawing the allowances. 'This enterprising individual, from his photograph and from the letter press, must have had a lively sense of humor. He was sagacious enough not to per- sonate more than two pensioners on the same day, One in the morning and one in the evening, except on special occasions, when he appeared Ilse) times. His military salute was admirably given and he subsequently related, with just pride, how he had managed to draw the allowance of the suhbadar major and of Si -dar Ramnak Bahadus mfor four years. Of course this gifted actor had got his own \commission\ every time. The sharptiess of the English superintendent in detecting a series of interpolations in the native aecount-books would have done credit to the best officers in Scotland yard. Ragging Trousers. A genius, who has devoted a great leal of his time to the question, has, he says, discovered how to prevent trousers from bagging at the knee. This is a piece of news which should send the public, or at least the male portion of it, into transports of joy. It will be no longer necessary for the poverty stricken dude to put hie trousers under the mattress at night, nor for wives, who are proud of their husbands, to iron their trousers—the husband's trousers—after they have gone to bed. The theory which has been evolved Is that all trousers are cut from cloth In which the thread runs up and down and straight across the leg. Hence, when the strain comes on the knee of the trousers, those threads stretch, because the strain is directed upon them, and the trousers bag. A tailor has made a pair of trousers 80 that the threads run diagonally across the leg. and the result is said to be highly satisfactory. The strain is distributed Indirectly upon the threads of the cloth, and the tromiers fall back into their proper shape /IS soon as the strain has been removed—N. Y. Sun. Insuring Consumptive*. Cincinnati, Oct. 21.—Special.—Re ports say that a leading life insurance company is accepting risks to the aumount of $300.000 on lives — of con. sumptives taking the Amick Chemical Treatment for lung disease The Amuck Chemical Co. of Cincinnati is actually paying the premiums ou Units insurance and presenting policies to their pa- tients. This company claims to have the most complete statistics on con- sumption in the world, and that these risks are good, providing the patients take a course of the Amick treatment. Veda' Grip. An English device for enabling cyclists to obtain a firm grip on the pedal is now in use. It consists of steel plate. with leather blocks for fastening to the sole of the shoe, with the object of affording cycliste a firm grip on the pedals. It is claimed that by using this appliance the shoe can- not slip, and the rider is able to -claw\ the nodal round, no to speak, new method of riding recommended, we understand, by well-known cyclists as the correct way of pedaling, since, to a great extent, it overcomes the \dead center.\ A great advantage in connection with these blocks is that, when not, re- quired for riding purposes, they can be readily removed, thus making walking easier and more pleasant than when the blocks are nailed to the shoe, at in the old system.

There certainly never was a time lti Moult/Ms Wlii.iI so many really good mining distrieV were demanding the attention of prospectors anti mine pro- moters as ut nod preeent * time. It Is equally true there never was a time whip mines could be operated as eco- nomically. Scattered all over the state new camps have sprung up dur- ing the past two seasons, and old ones have taken on a new lease of life, and among them are a number wideli under development promise to make really great produeers. At the same time there has been a decrease In the (east of producing and milling all kinds of ores, but In the face of all this some of the districts lag behind and their mineral deposits are allowed to lie in the ground. This condition can not be laid to the merits of the camps presented to the attention of investors, and the real cause must be looked for elsewhere. It is not because the mining fraternity, have no desire to mine or have no : faith in the new districts. The recog- nized mining linen of the state prob-: ably never had so many enterprises in hand ,as %Millie 'present time. They' tire working o the limit of safe bus- iness in Ilistiiiets wide apart and are forced to refuse many propositions, which if presented at other would receive at tent ion. The regret is that there Is not more capital available to engage in the bus- iness. Mining, conducted with the same care, attention and perseverance needs, sary to success in all other lines, is a* safe and legitimnte a business as any,: and its profits call not be disputed. It is question If the minera have not avIthstood the business depres- sion of the past two years better than any «here. Certainly the miners have come from under the general wreck earlier and in immensely better condition than the Industrial encll trust concerns. Certainly the demonetization of sin . ver and its present -extremely low' price is discouraging to the novice in mining, who, but for this condition, might invest his capital in mining enterprises. But the novice in the min- ing business need not enter into the silver branch of the business. Since: the time mentioned Montanians have discovered resources of gold greater than ever dreamed of before. The re- turws from Montana's gold properties: have been growing since then with such a rapidity as to surprise even the. men who raised the cry, \if its gold, you want, gold you shall have.\ The districts now awaiting Inten- tion are largely fold producing ones.' It was never dreamed that this great state would have more gold to mine than men to mine it; but such seems to be the case. Thousands of local- ities in Montana are awaiting the prospector . and mine operator, and they contain more and richer deposits of the yellow metal than the present population can fully exploit in the next decade, and there are but few to give them attention. All this offers much for congratula- tion in pointing out the boundless re- sources of the state, but It would be more satisfactory to see the new camps receiving the attention they de- serve from this generation and allow- ing those who come after to explore the vast stretches of the state as yet untouched by the prospector. It can not•be denied that on the raining in- dustry largely rests the prosperity of the state and all its lines of business, and It would contribute much to the present condition It these districts could be entered at once and their rich ere deposits be Made - available.— Western Mining World. AN ELECTRIC AMALGAMATOR. The Ontario Company of Utah has for a long time claimed that under its pres- ent methods of amalgamation it was losing a very small per cent. of quick- silver and other metals. but F. M.

It an Ita Rich Shipment* Were Reported It Would Have a Bigger Doom. 'no cripple Creek milling district grows minore phenomenal daily. Parties who have visited this rich camp and made pers(nial examination us to tlie returns of the ore shipped und the lowi cost of mining this, IA many tames, very rich ore, stated they could not help look- ing with suspicion on these facts if they only knew the saine from hearsay. Many of the large mince of Cripple creek are owned by close corporations, consisting in many eneee of one or a few men, and the larger the output from these mines the inure adverse are the owners In letting the public know the tree retitle»; of the amount shipped. If the output and dividends paid by these close mining corporations were made knewn to the outside world, the interest in this rich gold camp would be much more awakened even than it Is, and the Cripple Creek mining dis- trict would stand out in the eyes of time world as a remark:tine phenomenon. The Meese, for illustration, is owned principally by three men, who have re - ('elved in the last three months at leatill F150,000 in dividends, and they can any day double their returns by drawing on the ore reserves. The Independence, us another exam- ple, Is owned by W. S. Stratton. Dur- ing the first four months of this year lho mine produced more than $650,000, , and prk,:1 to January 1, 1895, the out- put, while the mine was being opened up, exceeded $1,500,000. It Is estimated on a conservative basis that there are gold reserves blocked out of $2,500,000, and development in different directions Is adding daily to this total. The Victor paid nnother monthly div- idend this week of ten cents per share, or $20,000. • There are 125 men em- ployed on this mine. Never bas there been a better oppor- tunity for Investment In gold mining than Is presented to the people of this country now, nun the capital voluble; in/ for investment attests the faith exhib- ited in this camp.—From W. F. lieu. driek's Weekly Market Letters Colorado Mining Notes. The rite • on low grade ore from the Gunnison to Delayer have been reduced by the South Park road. There is plenty of ore rends' for ship- ment ail over the Alma districts. The Jack trains are packing in full force and the ore wagons; are getting in their work again. Fair weather is all that Is needed for heavy shipments. The Cqiumbus shaft, near La Pinta, has reached a depth of a little over 100 feet. They will now cut a station and run drifts both ways and also cross-cut to the foot wall. Mr. Wright intends to ship quite a quantity of ore yet this season. The Japan, one of San Miguel coun- ty's big producers, and in which David Swickheimer Is Interested, ships from four to five carloads of ore per week to the Rico smelter. Chas. Little looks after the's:ire at this end of the line. Messrs. George Kipp and associates, the new owners of the Holy Terror mine, were recently offered $.100.000 for the property by New York parties, who wanted an option for 'thirty days. The proposition was declined.--Lara- mk,:. Boomerang. The Troy, nenr itosita, Custer coun- ty. Is now one of the best showing mines in the country. It has a heavy streak of real metallic ore that is just plastered with native silver. The own- ers have already made big money out of it, and all appearances indicate that they have fortunes in sight. The leasers on the Tam Onnhetaiee and Montezuma mines, at Ashcroft, continue to ship high grade ore in largo quantities. Several elinuniente during the present week ehow that those prop- erties are on n better and more substan- tial paying basis than they have been for years. The output statement of the Moffat - Smith combination group of mines for lam month has just been auntie up and is as follows: Lower Henriett, 2,327 tons of corbonate; Maid of 'Erin, 6,900 tons of iron; Wolftone, 3,673 tons of sul- phide; Starr, 1,120 tons of carbonate; Bon Air, 170 tons of carbonate; Gray Eagle and Pocahontas, 300 tons of car- bonate.
