Permanent Silver Mines.

In his treatise on silver mines Full
Ter says: Wherever in any part Of the
world silver mines have been worked,
they are worked now, unless from war,
invasion of Indians, etc. We know Of
no silver mining regions in the world
that have given out. Mexican mines
worked by the Aztecs before the con-
quest by Certez are still worked as
prOftably as ever; the old Spanish
mines opened long before uannibal's
time, are still worked with enormous
profits; the South American mines have
constantly yielded their wealth for more
than three hundred years, and are as
productive as ever; mines in Hungary
that were worked by the7Romans be-
fore the SaviOr's time, still yield abund-
ance Of ore; the silver mines Of Frei-
burg, opened in the eleventh century
and worked continually ever since,
yield their steady increase. So in Nor
way, Sweden and Russia, and indeed
wherever silver mines have been
opened, we believe without exception,
they continue to be worked at the pres
ent day, and generally are more pro-
ductiye than at any time in their past
history"

A Lively Visitor.

How do you do, Cornelia2 I heard
you were i'll, and stepped in to cheer
you UP little. My friends often say:
Its such a comfort to see you, Aunt
Doleful. You have such a flow Of con-
versation and are sOliveIy" Besides 1
said 10 myself, as I came up stairs:
Perhaps it's the last time I shall ever
see CorneIa Jane alive"
"You dOn'tmean to dieyet, eh? Well,
now, how do you know You can't
tell. You think you are getting better,
but there was poor Mrs. Jones sitting
up, and every one saying how much
better she was, and al Of sudden she
was taken i'll with spasms in the heart,
and went of like a flash. Jelnina is
young to bring up the baby 10y hand.
But you must be careful and not get
anxious and excited. Keep quite calm,
and don't fret about anything. Of
course, things can't go just as if you're
down stairs; and 1 wondered whether
you knew your little Billy was sailing
about in a tub on the mill-pond, and
that your little Sammy was letting your
little Jimmy down from the balcony in
a clothesbasket.

saw her talking to a man at the gate.

doubt she'll let him take the impression
of the door key in wax, and then he'll
get in and murder you all. There was
a family at Bobble Hill all killed last
week for few dollars. Now don't
fdget so. twill be bad for the baby
Poor little dearl How singular it is
to be sure that you can't tell whether a
child is blind, or deaf and dumb, or a
cripple at that age! 1t might be all and

make bad use of them though; that
ought to be your comfort, if it does turn

street as I came along.
Scarlet fever has broken out in the
town, COrneIia. Little Isaac Peter has
it, and I saw your little Jimmy playing
with him last Saturday.
Well, must be going now. I've got
another sick friend, and I shan't think
my duty done unless I cheer her up a
little before I sleep. GOod-by. How

From the annual statistics of the
trade and production of iron and steel,
some remarkable facts are apparent.
The price Of the metals has never be-
fore been so low in this country. The
decline of value since January, 1873,
has been SO per cent. on the price Of
pig iron, So per cent. as TO refined bars,
80 per cent. as to Bessemer steel rails,
and 56 per cent. on best iron rails. The
consumption Of these metals by the in
duslries of the country has not, hOwev-
ct, declined in any similar proportion.
The lowest point of depression in the
business of building railroads was
reached In the latter bali OF 1875 AL
the steel rails used in this country are
made here, and all the iron rails excerpt
an inconsiderable fraction-less than
one in three thousand. 1t is needless
10 say that times aIe hard in the iron
business; but cheap coal and cheap iron
have slved from ruin at least a hun
dred other domestic industries since
1873.

How Bank OF England Notes arc Made.
Bank of England notes are made
from new white linen cuttings, never
from anything that has been worn. SO
carefully is the paper prepared that
even the number of dips into the pulp
made by each workman is registered on
dial by machinery and the sheets are
counted and booked to each person
thrOUgl whose hand they passed.
They are made at Laverstroke on the
river Whit in Hampshire, by a family
named Portal, descended from a French
HuguenOt refugee, and have been made
by the same family more than 1dO
years. Some fifteen years ago a guam
tity of bank note paper was stolen
by The completely Of an employe,
and this occasioned great trouble, as
the printing is "a comparatively easy
mat,sr-the great difficulty with for
gers being the paper. The notes are
printed within the bank building, and
there is an elaborate arrangement fOT
securing that no note shall be exactly
like another.
