From the Novel of the Future.

There was a loud noise like the report of
an Cvercliarged cannon. the burst boiler sent
the splintered iron and sLeaming vapor high
in the air. Marianne, the engineers lovely
daughter, was carried with the debris, and as
cended with %frigltful velocity in the direc-
ton of the clouds. As she flew h~eavenward.
the employees held their breath and closed
their eyes--the spectacle was too agonizinc to
witness. Bu5 young John, the assistant, who
had admired Marianne from afar, was alive
TO the emergency. Selling a flying machine,
upon which he had just obtained a patent that
morning, he strapped ii to his broad, manly
back, and, spreading the wings of the mach
inc, vowed he would rescue the girl of his
heart or die. On he flew in the direction his
loved one had taken. He reached her Just as
her red head had plunged through "a cloud.
to his bosom. Saved came from the crowd
below, who had been watching the scene
through telescopes etc.

Among the checks received for the Herald
relief fund was one from John w. Mackay.
Of Virginia City, for $4,000. The Herald
says: The heart of Mackay can only be
compared to the famous g big bonanza" Of
which he is called g the boss" He has not
made this munificent gift because he is rich,
but because he is generous. The noblest
product of those celebrated mines is not their
fabulous amount of silver, but the large
souled men whose faculties they have devel-
oped and supplied with means OF exhibiting
them on the scale OH which nature formed
them. We commend Mackay's truly re-
splendent gift to the notice and emulation of
other men in Nevada and California, and
throughout the country whom Providence has
richly blessed in their enterprises. We would
fain hope that such an example will find
abundant imitators. Many and many are
the grateful hearts whose overlooking fullness
will find expression in the simple but touch
ing prayer, "God bless John Mackay." The
friends of suffering Ireland must not with
hold the recognition which is ST. justly his
due. 1t was at the instance of Dion Bouci-
cault that this princely gift has been made.
Boucicault telegrapbed to Mackay on Sa:ur-
day, asking: "Wnn't you give something
handsome to the Herald Irish famine fund.-
The answer come at once, and such ali an
swer as showed how correctly Boucicault
understood the character Of his friend.
Mr.. Mackay, who is of Irish birth, went to
California on one of the earliest waves of the
gold excitement, and for a long period was
not prosperous. In those days he was fire.
q~uently heard to express the wish that he
could get together $4,000 to make the de-
clining years of his dear Old mother comfort
able. The immense wealth he has since
acquired could not have fallen into more
deserving hands. Mr.. Mackav is only 4o
wears of age, and there will be many prayers
chat his life may long be spared for deeds of
kindness and mercy.

The Metal Output.

The reports from the various United States
minis and assay offices for the year 1919 show
that there was deposited therein duriuL that
year gold to tie amount OF 50 1,J3S. GGO.2l, and
silver to the amount Of So, 424,25l.GJ. The
reports of The express companies do not give
quite so lary" amounts of the precious metals
as passing through their hands from which
it would appear that considerable quantities
are sent directly to the minis without rail
road transportation. The largest amount of
gold mined in 1878 WIS i'll California, the
next largest in Colorado, the next largest in
Dakota the largest amount Ct silver mined
in that year was in Nevada, the next largest
in Utah. the next Largest in Colorado. Lead
to the value of S4,1S5, 100 vas prodaced last
wear. California shows a decrease iii gold
and silver of 73-9.4SS. Nevada shows a fall
hug of in the same metals Ct Sl3, IS4 235.
Eureka district shows Il falling oil of little
over 81, 600 200. Utah shows a falling off of
SJGJ .3j+. Colorado, on the other hand. shows
an increase Of S.. 100000, chiefly from the
Lealville District. Dakota shows an increase
of 1903 1S3. TIN gross yield of gold, silv,,s
and lead in 1879 WAS less than it was in 1873
by nearly $6,OOO,O0O. The bullion from the
ComstOck lode contains 4l.20 per cent. of
gold and $3.50 Of silver. OF the base bullion
from Nevada p per. cent. was gold. and of
the whole product of the State $50 per cent.
was gold.

Some Mistakes Of Most OF Us.

1t is a mistake to think Your inte:locutor is
listening to what you say. He is thinking of
what lie is going to say.
1t is a mistake to suppose that everybody is
thinking Of you. You do so much of that
kind of work yourself that You exhaust the
subject.
1t is a mistake to suppose that your Child
rem will profit by your experiences. You
lidn't accept your fathers, but preferred TAX
ing IA term in the same expensive school,.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the d~islnally
)ious man has had a change Of heart. The
:hange is in his digestion if anywhere.
1t is a mistake to suppose that your friend
IS consumedly interested in your eloquent
description of your liver troubles. On the
contrary, he is excessively anxious to tell you
of his ~catarrll.

The bog stood on the backyard fence,
whence all but him had fed the flames that
it his fathers barn showed just above the
he'd, One bunch of crackers in his hand,
wo others IN his hat, with piteous accents
'oud he cried, 81 never thought of that" A
lunch of crackers to the tail Of one small dog
,e tied the dog in anguish sought the barn,
nd, mid the ruins died. The sparks flew
eide and red and hot, they lit upon the brat :;
hey fired the crackers in his land and exc
hose IN his hat. Then came a burst or rat
ling sound-the boy !! were was he gone?
Ask of the winds that far round strewed bits
II meat and bone, and scraps Of clothes, and
lalls and tops and nails and hooks and yarn,
ne relics OF the dreadful boy that burned his
ather's barn.
