He comes prepared to at once begin active developments, and IS backed by unlimited capital. The wonderful mines represented by Mr. Bivins will soon yield a steady flow of bullion, and the Gunsight camp will yet become a city of considerable importance, with its banks, hotels and newspapers, where the chatter of many hundred-stamp mills will be heard necessarily.

LORD AIRLIE, a very wealthy, liberal an1 intelligent Scottish peer, recently died at Denver, Colorado. The Airlie family is an ancient one and has many traditions and superstitiOns, one of which-relates to the warning which pre- cedes the death of a member of the family. In the Airhe family the death token is the beating of drum, and this signal has been frequently heard by respectable witnesses. The late Dr. Norman Mcleod lent the weight of his testimony to some extent to 1t. Others declare that just before the death of Lord Airhe's father. in lSi9, they were staying at Airlie Castle, in Forfarshire. and heard the mysterious music long before they were aware that he was dying in London. It is reported that the ghOstly drummer boy was again heard just before the death of the late Peer in Colorado. One of his servants heard it first in a corridor, and 1t Is said that the sounds also reached the ears of Lady Airlie, whose great prOstratiOn was partly caused by this dreaded visi- tor. The affair has given rise to cOnsid- erable correspondence on the subject of ghosts, wraiths and secOnd-sight.

WOMAN As A WORKER.

No one phase of American life has
undergone a greater change than that
regarding society in its connection
with woman's work, and perhaps
there is nothing which better shows
general progress. Time was when
to be employed in any duties outside
of those of home was social death to
her. II it was necessity that COM
PEELED 1t, there was simply the .ostra-
cism that poverty is apt to receive
from competency and wealth. 1t
inclination prompted the stepping
aside from the path that tradition
had made for womanhood, she was
set down as peculiar and strong
minded" the latter term OF re-
proach which was and is as much
dreaded by the majority as If it
implied personal degradation.
These things were hard to bear
and operated strongly to prevent
independence in action. Gradually,
however, has arisen the feeling that
Honest labor bears a lovely face,
and that as 6 It's no sin for man to
labor in his VOCATION neither is it
for woman. Accordingly many are
now found, even if possessed OF q
competence, or with friends able and
