Beauty I'm America.

Thanks to n more generous diet, frecr
outdoor life, and a larger outlook, the pre-
sent generation will leave a rich heritage to
posterity. 1t is astonishing to see the i'm
provement in the human form that has ac-
companied the increase of wealth in this
country. Poverty may be, and often is, re-
spectacle, but il is the ruin of many a fine
physique; and it is matter for jubilation that
we have within our borders n large and grow
ing class who can afford to be comfortable.
OF course there is danger of running to the
other extreme. The sleek and well. fed bust
ness man is sometimes suggestive of a gouty
old age, as is the buNom and rohustious
beauty of the waddling dowager; but on the
whole. there is "A most decided betterme..t
And, although it may not be in our times, we
may indulge a reasonable hope for not far
distant future when the toiling race of New
England farmers wives, that sallow, skinny,
saleratus-fcd sisterhood. shall be extinct:
and in their places shall stand hale. hearty
| and happy following. who shall live the
fat of the land, and sell only that which they
cannot use themselves; who have time
and taste to array themselves in some
thing beside skimp cotton gown,
and gladly make concessions to
fashion in the matter of coifiure; who read
something beside the Bible, and, on the
the whole, have almost as easy time as their
spouses beast of burden.
Take it all in all, we believe we have good
right to felisitatc ourselves in the face of the
world, over our fair women. The great and
| overwhelming advantage that la belle 1mert-
came possesses over her foreign compeers is
that. although she revels. a girl, in what
the French call la beaufe de diabie, her charm
does not fade with the feeting years Of youth
and we are spared the horror Of seeing the
English transformation Of delicate, high
bred loveliness into the semblance of big,
| habby, and somewhat intempcrate cook, or
the frightful spectacle afforded by our con-
| tnental sisters, of the shrinking and changing
of pretty, piquant face to the woazened fea-
| lures Of an elderly female monkey. Ofcourse
| innocent, unconscious beauty is thing Of
the past, that We cannot hope to regain. The
young woman of the present day knows her
good points as well as she does the contents
| of her pocketbook. and what they will buy in
the market good deal better; but what she
| has lost in ingeniousness, she has probably
gained in practical common-sense .--Boston

OF his conversion. The earliest discovered
mention of cricket by name is in legal pro-
ccedings in 1893. John Parrish had inclosed

Manns, cricket became an instrument
of gambling. Matches were made for
$500. and. naturally, were often sold by
the players. Book. makers were as busy
on cricket grounds as on races. Fortunately,
though, the boar race has got into the 'books"
of spectators. cricket has escaped from the
taint of gambling. There are no quotations
publicly made even on the university match.

about a hundred runs and innings in every

not on their day, and that day may shine on
the universities at Lords. But this is di-
grcssion. The Court of Kings bench. in

A Splendid Publication.

After carefully examining the Mining
News Of last Monday, we are inclined to
award the highest praise to James E. An
derson, for his tact and enterprise. The
publication Is q mammoth one, being twice
the usual size OF the weekly, and must
have taxed the Office TO its utmost capacity.
a greater part OF the reading matter is in
nonpareil type, and is crowded in with fine
typographical effect. The issue 10 princi-
pally devoted to the mining interests OF
the district, and describes los mines in a
graphic and intelligent manner, which in
oiudes about all the properties worth men-
tioning. The information furnished is OF
more than ordinary Importance. and is not
only OF value to every mine owner. but to
every resident OF the district. Il is the
nrst attempt to give a comprehensive his
tory OF our mines, and the work has been
aohe In q most creditable manner, and
should be fully appreciated by those whom
" concerns the most. Mr.. Anderson was
assisted in the compilation work by Geo.
". bayiess, formerly editor Of the News.
both are deserving of flattering encomi-
ams Tor their labor. We are sorry. how
sver, TO note that such excellent work
mould be so poorly paid for. The extra
expense attached to the publication was
necessarily great, and we are informed
taat Mr.. Anderson is directly $3.50 on
.ne enterprise. In a camp Of the nature
OF Eureka this should not transpire. Mine
owners and the public generally should en-
courage such well directed work. Certain
~ one-half Of the 1855 mines described by
M. Anderson's paper are in a condition to
ouy up his edition and scatter it broad
east over the land. This is what should be
done, as the publication warrants it.

Killed by q Grizzly.

A prospector who came into HALEY from
smoky on the 18th, tells the following bear
story; Last week q miner while on his
way down to camp from the mine In which
hs was employed, discovered a grizzly in Q
little thicket, and at once opened fire on
him. The bear turned at the 6rst shot
and made direct for his assailant. The
miner succeeded in making Ave good shots
before the bear reached him, when they
oiinched and went rolling down the hill
side. They brought up in some bushes,
and the miner discovered his game was
dead. He now learned Of his own inju-
ffies, which we're chiefly from bites on the
legs. He was unable to move, and called
ior help, knowing friends were in hailing
distance. They came and attempted to re-
move him, but IL was too late. After re-
counting the particulars Of the affair, he
expired from loss Of blood in consequence
OF o rupture Of the femoral artery.

the tunnel, and a boarding house for the
miners, of which there are now six en-
ployed by day and contract, is located a
short distance down the canyon. To the
latter the party repaired, and after a hear
ty miners meal, dished up by the jolly
Hartnett brothers, they returned to town,
firmly convinced that the Eureka Tunnel
is one Of the most promising properties in
the district. The ore so far extracted,
about eight tons, will be shipped to one
of the furnaces in a few days, when the
value will be fully demonstrated. AT the
superintendent office, in the SENTINEL
building, a big chunk Of the new develop
ment is on exhibition, and is exciting gen.
eral attention. 1t is particularly cheering
to the shareholders, and they will no doubt
take a more lively interest in the future
workings OF the tunnel.
