Der one fact, namely, faintinR is caused by the

though the blood is propelled to all parts of

that people who never see the inside of church

The Wonderful Telluride.

Professor Jaldin Smith, state geologist
of Colorado, lately telegraphed that the
most remarkable "strike" :" made since
1875 in the wonderfully rich telluride
belt of Colorado had just been made in
the cross cut from the American to the
Ajax lode, in the American consolidated
company's property. The mail brings
full description of the new vein ard
samples of the ore, which prove to be as
rich telluride and free gold ore as the
famous samples from the American. some
of which have yielded at the United
States assay Office here at the rate of
$40, 600 per ton, and others ran up as
high as 100000 per ton. The workings
in the American itself continue to show
increase of ore with depth and increase
in average value. The DEVELOPMENTS
continue to increase the reserves of ore.
Notwithstanding the increase of OUTPUT.
Workings on the "slide," the newly
acquired property of the American, are
being pushed in that shaft and leves.

The Trade in BONwood.

1t sppeaIs that, in consequence of the
continued increased cost of lockwood and
its rapid decrease in quality, one of the
principal importers OF this and other
hard woods into this country has sue
ceeded in introducing two American
woods to be used instead ef box in the
manufacture of shuttles, q purpose for
which immense quantities of lockwood
have hitherto been used. The woods so
substituted are those of the cornel and
persimmon. The first IS apparently the
cOrnus florida, deciduoUs tree, about
thirty feet high, growing abundantly in
woods in various parts of North Amer
lea. The wosd, though of small size, is
! hard, heavy and close grained, and is
used chiefly in America for the handles
Of tools and for shuttle making, and, when
properly seasoned, is much superior to
Persian lockwood. The same may be
said Of the persimmon (diospyros virgin
iana), a tree belonging to the ebony fam
lily, a native of the United States, where
it grows to a height of from fifty feet to
sixty feet, and diameter OF a foot or
eighteen inches. The heartwood is of a
dark brown color and very hard. The
trunk is covered with very thick, hard
and rugged bark. One great point to be
particularly remembered in the prepara-
ton of these woods for shuttlemaking is
the very gradual drying by artificial
means; this is more particularly recon-
mended in the case of the cornell, undue
haste in seasoning, it IS said, having in
some cases created q prejudice against
the wood. AS an illustration to some
extent Of the effects of the war, it may
be stated that while in 1876 over 10, 600
tons of lockwood were imported, the year
just passed shows return of only be-
tween 1000 and 5000 tons. A large
proportion of this is the produce of the
forests on the Caspian sea. Though the
supply from the Black sea provinces has
for some years past been decreasing, it is
well known that untouched forests of
wood exist in Russian territory, and it is
hoped and expected that at the close of
the present disastrous war these forests
may be opened up, so that we may get
abundant supplies of good wood for some
time to come.

The general rule that an humble trust
in God is never sighted is not founded
on miraculous examples; but cases of
straugely-relieved want come to light
every yea which can only suggest a di-
vine intelligence of human prayer. The
question, Who regulates the proportion
of suffering and kindness, and overrules
the mystery of identical thoughts in dis
tant minds could have been answered
in but one way by all the parties con-
cerned in this true story. Says the New
York Tribune:
q A winter or two ago the director of
little orphan asylum near this city
Issued statement of her receipts and ex-
penditures, for the satisfaction of those
who had given help to it doing the year.
1t fell into the hands of a wealthy man
living some miles, from the home,
who glanced over it and threw it aside.
No help was asked, and it did not occur
to him to offer any.
Z" a month or two later, one bitter
night, the manager found herself abso-
lutely without morsel of food to give
the children for breakfast. There was
not even -four nor bread in the house.
Institutions of similar kind have their
settled funds from which to draw, OF
friends TO whom to appeal. These women
had no money, and but the one friend to
whom to turn.
The night was stormy, it was late,
the children would waken hungry
their hearts almost failed them. But
they went to their friend. Before they
rose from their knees a carriage drove tc
the door, from which, when they went
out, the coachman, without word, be
gan 20 unpack meat, bread, provisions
of every kind. Bundles OF clothing fol
lowed.
' 1t was like fairy tale, or one {
Dickens Christmas stories. at last s
lady held out an envelope, in which wal
bank note for substantial sum, and
the carriage drove away through the
snow without word being spoken.
