A Novel Investment for British Cap

Mr.. Charles Reade writes to The
Daily Telegraph to suggest that the
Jews should be helped to return to
the Holy Land. He says: "The proph-
ecies We receive, though obscure in
matters of detail, are clear as day or
two points: That the Jews are to re-
possess Palestine, and indeed, to rule
from Lebanon to Euphrates; and that
this event is to be the first of a great
series of changes, leading to a vast
improvement in the condition of poor
suffering mankind and of creation in
general. Now We have here in pros
pect a glorious event as sure as that
the sun will rise tomorrow. Palestine
can be colonized effectually from Rus
STA alone, where there are three million
Jews trembling for life and property !;
and the rest would follow. Should
they seem to require help at starting
from any other nation, blessed win be
the nation that proffers il, and the ma
ton that persecutes them win be made
an example of in some way or other.

Ancient Mining.

Mining aud Scientific Press.
The methods in vogue among the
ancients for the development of mines
were IN many respects far different
from those in use at the present time.
In the country to the south of us the
descent and ascent of shafts were made
by means Of notched logs. These logs
were from twenty to thirty feet long,
extending from level to level. The
logs or ladders were climbed by the
sure footed miners, the AZtecs, and
more recently by the Indians, who
were engaged in the dislOdgment of
the precious mineral. The ore was
placed in rawhide bags containing
about half bushel, this same being
rested upon the back, while it was held
in position by straps extending across
the shoulders, united in front and fas.
tened through its own weight upon the
forehead.
eff mine was oyerhowed with wa
ter, the troublesome fluid was removed
in these bags in the same manner as
the ore, by the miners, who tediously
climbed the notched poles, and whose
notches answered the place of wider
steps. The ore was removed in a man
neT almost as tedious. Fires were
built against the walls of the mine, and
as their surface became calcined, the
incinerated portions were dislodged by
stone hammers. The melting was
equally cumbersome, being effected
with charcoal and bellows. Yet min
ing was profitable under these crude
methods. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that wonderful reports continue
to reach us as the richness of the aban.
doned old mines of Sonora, which, with
the introduction of modern machinery,
worked by energetic and experienced
Americans, will soon astonish the
world with their rich productions"
In the early days of the Comstocb
we have seen these notched poles in
use in the Mexican mine in this city
also the rawhide sacks. However
they used picks and shOvels and blast

The ore was worked in arastras, AID

Tony Pastor in Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York, who is
now with his inimitable variety COM
bination, making tour of the princi-
pal cities of the Union, is recognized as
the leading character vocalist
and variety performer of the
United States. He owns and runs a
first-class theatre on Broadway. New
York City, and has gathered about him
the best troupe of variety artists that
could be obtained. The company has
just completed brilliant engagement
at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadel-
phia, and after the present tour they
will reappear in Tony Pastors own
theatre in New York. Mr.. Pastor is
the originator of his peculiar school of
character singing, and has made him.
self Immediately popular, having real
lied by his talents a large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr..
Pastor recently at the Bingham House.
in Philadelphia, and found him as ge-
NAL in private as he is amusing before
the public. During our conversation
L inquired as to his physical health,
and he replied that, Notwithstanding
the strain upon him in the discharge
of his professional duties, it was excel
lent. He had occasionally severe pains,
either the result of rheumatic attacks
or colds, but any complaints of that
character Eever troubled him long, as
he had found out remedy for all such
annoying affections. Iasked him what
the remedy was, and he replied "St.
Jacobs Oil" 1 then learned from MI.
Pastor that he considered the Great
German Remedy an excellent prepare
ton for the cure or relief of rhumatism,
and that it was about the only thing
used among professional people for
that distressing complaint. He took
bottles of it with him whenever he
went travelling, and would not be
without it, and knew that it was very
popular with number of members of
his own company. A conversation
held subsequently with various mem
bers of the organization revealed the
fact that st. Jacobs Oil had been per-
forming most invaluable service for
them in the way of curing them of
rheumatism. Nearly every artist in
the trOup used it, and was enthusiastic
in its praise, and the writer was really
forced to the conclusion that Tony
Pastor was certainly in luck in having
so valuable an article known and EN-.
ployed by his inimitably good company
OF performers, for it enabled every one
to be always in his place, thus insur
ing comfort to the management and
genuine satisfaction to the public
Tony Pastor would certainly be in
trouble without st. Jacobs Oil. Al
least, other managers whose artists
have been temporarily unsupplied
have noticed the difference between St
Jacobs Oil in stock and st. Jacobs Oh
out of stock-among the members OF
their cOmpanies.-N. Y. Clipper.

A Coal Deposit,

Biologists believe that a coal de-
posit exists under London, and one of
their number has suggested that BY the
expenditure of a few thousand pounds
in boring the problem might be prac-
ticaly solved at once. 1t is held that
coal exists there because the coal-feld
in Bristol is geologically identical with
that of eastern Belgium and West

a paleozoic ridge connected the two
districts. Already it has been shown

Training Shepherd Dogs.

Darwin thus describes the training
of shepherd dogs: "When riding it is
common thing to meet n large flock
of sheep guarded by one er two dogs at
distance of some miles from any
house or man. 1 often wondered how
so firm a friendship had been estab-
lished. The method of education con-
sists in separating the puppy while
very Young from its mother and in &C
customing IL IN its future companion.
A eve Is held three or four times day
for the little thing TO suck, and a nest
of wool Is made for It in the sheep pen.
At no time is 1t allowed to associate
with other dogs. or with the children
of the family. From this education it
has no wish to leave the flock, and just
as another dog will defend its master,
man, so will these dogs defend sheep.
IL is amusing to observe when ap-
proacring a flock, how the dog imme-
diately advances barking and the sheep
all close in his rear. as If round the
Oldest ram. These dogs are also easily
taught to bring home the sheep at a
certain hour in the evening. Their
most troublesome fault when young is
their desire to play with the sheep for
in their sport they sometimes gallop
the poor things most numerically.
The shepherd dog comes to the house
every day for his meat, and as soon as
it is given him skulks away as il
ashamed of himself. On this occasion
the house dogs are very tyranical, and
the least of them will attack and pur-
sue a stranger. The minute, however
the latter has reached the flock he
turns round and begins to bark and
then all the house dogs take quickly to
their heels. In a similar manner a
whole pack OF hungry wild dogs win
scarcely ever venture TO attack q flock
guarded by one Of these faithful shep-
herds. In this case the shepherd dog
seems to regard the sheep as his fell
low brethren and thus gains confidence:

The cause of her abnormal condition

rapidity. For some time the woman
