MINES AND MINING.

SUNDAY. Aug. 21-P. NJ
At the Mining Stock Exchanges during the last
week there has been large increase in the volume
OF business and yesterday, although Saturdays III
midsummer are broken days. the transactions were
larger than on Friday, and only slightly less than
on Thursday. Coupled with this increased activity
was constant appreciation in values generally.
These indications point to increase in inter
est IN mining enterprises and still more
active markets in the near future In the
last week the Comstocl1 shares have boon
prominent in activity and strength. Sierra Nevada
rose to 10 from below 10 n week ago, Consolidated
Virginia from 30 to 2.45, and California from 06
to 1.05. Bode closed with small loss ut 9s4, and
the other Bodie stocks sympathized with it. Stor-
mont advanced to 3l2. Robinson Consolidated was
active and strong rising to 12ls. a large body
has been struck on the 7O0-foot level, which is
ported to assay very high. The strength Of this
stock is indication OF greater activity in the Lead
vile properties generally.
But the conspicuous feature of the week was the
decline Ill State Lines and Oriental and Miller on
Friday. State Line Nos 2 and 3 dropped from 57s
tai and Miller from 1.40 10 1.05. They ended the
week at about the lowest figures Miner Boy was
active and higher, advancing from 40 cents to 81
cents
Yesterday the market was unusually active.
Prices were higher for all the active stocks except
the 5 ate Lines and Oriental and Miller, which con-
tlnued depressed. Besides these shares StOrmont
was particularly active between $40 and $50,
was done IN Miner Boy, but from its opening price
at 63 it fell to 81 and closed barely steady at that
price. RObinSon Consolidated rose to 1893, but
closed dull ut l2lS. Bradshaw was weak at |. In
general the market ended firm and fairly active.

Cremation i'm Chicapo.

The subject for discussion before the last meet
ing oil the Chicago Medical Society was crema-
uoh' and numerous opinions. for and against
were put forward One doctor favored II on tho
ground that it prevented the spread of disease
germs, while another thought it excellent on
this ground for large cities. but in country places
there was little danger of contagion ANYWAY
Another advocate held that, although public
sentiment was adverse to it, yet it was best
from sanitary point of view. Still another
considered cremation as more aesthetic and re-
fined than inhuman-a novel plea The onin;on
was expressed by one doctOrt that the preferences
OF every one should be consulted and that no
law could be enacted to compel the cremation
of bodies. 1t was also held that public senti-
ment was veering in the direction OF cremation
and 1t should be educated In that direction
The last speaker of all advanced the idea that
cremation was an excellent thing in these DAYS
when it Was perfectly DONE whereas the old
Romans and Greeks roasted. fried and sent up
the remains Of their dead In smoke The dis
cussion by these doctors will not probably have
any marked effect upon the country at large; but
the fact that the matter was discussed at all is an
other evidence that, in spite Of very general
opposition. the idea Of cremation ia spreading
and that the physicians feel bound to consider
the subject In Its various lghta

Paris Dispatch to the London Times
M Matthew Bodet. who filled the post of
minister of finance from July, 1874. to March,
1919, and whose name is thus associated with
one OF the most critical epochs of French iinan-
| clai history, has just published two portly vol
umes on lies Finances Franchises de 1870
1878" (Hachette>. The subject is inter-
esting In the highest degree The war and
| the instruction had left France almost crushed
under a total additional debt of no less than
ESQ, 100000. f9.240OOO being the amount
of the burden added by the vagares of
| the Commune. The invasions of 1914 and
| 1915 left the country legacy of no small
dimensions, viz: $50 300 co., but this
was not a fifth part of the charges which re-
| suited directly from the war of 1870 without
| reckoning the increase of the ordinary army
and navy estimates. which, after the nyasions
| OF 1914 and 1915. were even reduced from 500
| co., OOf, to 2OS 600 0O0f The meeting Of the
vast increment of expenditure entaiied by the
event OF 1871 was one of the most marvellous
OO0f. was contracted in 1871 and another of
5000, OOO.O 0Of in 1872. Notwithstanding the
enormous increase of taxation about to become
necessary. French and foreign capitalists offered
for the first 5000 900 OO0f. and for the second
upward of IS. O00. 900. OON. The Government
had at the same time, and without delay. to
create new taxes to meet the new burdens con-
sequent upon these loans, and upon the re-
organization OF the vast military material and
service which had been shattered by the war.
Twenty-eight million pounds sterling of new
revenue were needed to do this.
nj. Matthew BOdet describes how. with
heavy heart, yet resoIutely, the government set
about this ungrateful and painful task. For
four years they labored at it without fiinching.
Year after year came dispiriting deficits. The
long discussions on the tax on raw materials
proposed by NJ. Theirs and rejected by the
National Assembly will still be remembered.
The scheme of new taxes was at length COM
peted in 1875. The ease with which they have
been borne, the ever-increaSng SURPRISES which
have made the post of minister of finance such
grateful one to NJ. Matthew BOdet's successors,
have since then been the wonder of Europe
Although the ordinary expenditure has been in
creasing, taxes have been RENTED, and already

be added to the burdens of the country. have

w HAT TO EAT.

WHAT TO EAT.
Some Useful Hints from an Experienced
Physician.
Two good hearty meals in the day are suffi-
cient for health-one before going to work and
the other after work is over: that is, breakfast
and supper, or what is the same, late dinner.
Some lunch Is needed between these meals.
but this should be light A heavy meal in the
middle of the day may suit children, but if hard
work has to be resumed. it interferes with the
work. and the work with digestion. Hot heavy
suppers taken shortly before going to bed pre-
vent refreshin sleep, and are among the most
frequent causes of attacks of indigestion. At the
same time an empty stomach is to be avoided; q
few biscuits, or something equally light is all
that is required. Variety Of diet is of i'm
portance to health; the stomach gets weary
of a repetition of the same every day. Hurry at
meals Is to be avOided-eat slowly and chew
we'll. Bodily toll and manual labor can be best
supported by vegetable diet, as bread. por-
ridge, &c. with the addition of milk, eggs, but
ter. and cheese; meat is much inferior to these
as supplier of strength. But it is very differ
ent with mental labor; here mixed diet. with
animal food in moderation, is best. Fermenting
drinks will always have place among articles
OF diet. though health can be maintained best
without them. The most wholesome are those
which contain the least amount of alcohol, such

The practice of drinking stinulants as aids to
work is a serious mistake; it checks the desire
for wholesome food. leads to excess. and
sooner or later Injuries the health. Tobacco
should not be smoked just Immediately be-
fore or after meals as it weakens digestion
Too much smoking is a harmful habit, causing
nervousness, shaky hands, papitation of tne
heart. want of appetite and seeplessness; when
any of these occur, tobacco should be left Off, or
used very seldom. The practice of boys learn
ing to smoke cannot be too strongly condemned.
They think it manly, while they are readily in
lnring the health and growth, so preventing
themselves from becoming manly. Excessive
tea drinking Is an evil not unusual among work
ing women. producing ill-nourished mothers,
and weekly babes. Tea should not be taken
more than once or twice day, and should
never take the place of substantial meal.
Health depends greatly on good cooking; tho
object of cooking is to render food digesti-
bic and attractive, and to give at the same time
the greatest amount of nOurishment with the
least amount OF waste. Every opportunity of
learning and improving in this art should be
eagerly seized.--J. Sinclair Holden, A. D.

What 1t Costs in Cleveland.

A Cleveland newspaper gives detailed esti-
mate OF the cost of matrimony in that city to a
young man Of fairly good position in the social
world The wedding itself, calculated on the
basis of $40 to the minister is 1892 Is and then
there is $500 for journey and $3.50 for furni-
ture after the return. Family expenses-for
the ante-addtiOn period-are estimated at
1880 year, and altogether it is concluded
that no young man can venture without g., 600
in pocket and an income of 81 500 per year 1t

mony can be had of the proper officials for
