The Worlds Principal Tin Mines.

The principal tin-producing country
is England. The Phpn clans traded
with England for tin LOO years before
the Christian era. There it reason to
believe that they got tin from Spain
also; but England was depended on for
nearly all the tin used in Europe until
this ore was discovered in Germany in
1910. 1t was discovered in Northern
Africa, in the Barbary States, in 1910;
in India in 174J; in New Spain in 1882.
Tin was mined in Mexico before the
Spanish conquest, and used in T-shaped
pieces for money, and in bronze COM
position for sharp tools; the principal
mines being at Tasco. Peru has valu-
able mines of this metal; so have New
South Wales, Australia and Banca, and
Malacca in the Malay peninsula. Tin
has been discovered in Pennsylvania,
Missouri, California and other States of
the Union, but not in quantities to
tempt capital to engage in mining it.
The chief tin-producing countries are
the following, arranged in the order OF
Importance: England, about 10, 900 tons
year; Malacca, about $500 tons; An.
siralia, about 5000 tons; Banca, abou,
4, ZOO tons, and Billion, about 5000
tons. Both of these last-named places
are islands of the Dutch East Indies.

WHILE Massachusetts man was abb

home by his mothers death. He start
ed from home once more and was again
recalled by the death of his brother.
A third time he started, when his
brothers wife died, and he was re-
called for the third time. An even
more-remarkable series of condolences

pened on a North Carolina railroad.
Just before the train arrived at Monroe
station one of party of young ladies
intending to take it hal picked up an
"unloaded" pistol and playfully put a

twenty miles further on lad of 10
years had accidentally shot colored
man few minutes before the train ar
rived. The medical passenger left the
train and bound up the wound. Ten
miles further on everybody was talking
about man who was dying from a
wound that he had just received in his
abdomen. A few miles further there
had been ball at which two men had
quarreled about pretty girl; one of
them was lying on the grass shot
through the thigh as the train came up.
1t was more Ike an artillery train than
