VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
Commercial Importance of the Recently Located Black Hills Tin Mines.

The recent discovery of great deposits of tin in the Black Hills has been gener- ally noticed in the press, but does not seem to have attracted the attention it deserved. With the exception of iron there is no one metal which enters so largely into domestic manufacture as tin. Kitchen utensils without number are made from tin plate, or more properly timed plate; the substance. which we call tin being sheet iron coated with a tin wash. No articles are made4ef'pure or solid tin. Tin is Aalso constituent element in many other metals, ofwhich the principals bronze. The vast amount of timed plate used in roofing is ap- parent to every one. Its cheapness, du- rability and beauty has made tin an in- dispensable product and any discovery which will lead 10 a greater supply is an object of interest.
 Strangely enough, every known metal has heretofore been found in this coun- try except tin. There have been rumors at different times of the discovery of tin deposits, but they have lacked veri- fication. This time there seems to be no mistake. The deposits are not only very large, but the tin is of a superior quality, fully equal to the Cornwall product. At present we pay $50, 0O0,- 900 annually for the tin we buy from England, and if the Black Hills mines are all that they are represented to be nearly all. of this money will be retained at home.
 The extraction of the metal from the earth and it's conversion into commer- cial form will give employment to thousands of men, and the plate, which now largely comes from abroad, will henceforth be made in this country. Large capital will, doubtless, be needed to develop thls new industry, but there will be no difficulty in securing the n C. essary funds, as the mines, if properly worked, will be much more lucrative than quartz at s. 40 ton, as some of Black Hills mines are now assaylng. Altogether the discovery may justly be called a great step forward in our com- mercial march as a Nation. .-PhiiadeL- 5lItiG CGLL. g

Believed in Fortifying.

A tramp entered a Washington saloon the other day and blandly asked the bar tender:
 "Can you tell me, sir, if Congress has passed the Fertilization bill?"
 "Well, 'sposen it has or hasn't, what's that got to do with you?"
 ''Oh, nothing much, only 1 feel a good deal run down and would like to fortify little. thought mebbe, in case Con gress had made an appropriation, you might fortify me about ten cents worth and charge it to the Government. Your forty-rod will fortify as well as any thing else, so don't hand out the best bottle"
 The bartender was about to hand out his best bung-starter when the tramp made a hurried exit. Washington Critic

Don't, please don't try to commence with a dozen different breeds at once, but choose a variety that suits your taste, and devote your attention to that un- til you thoroughly understand the art of breeding it up to the desired stand ard.

EXIT THE BOOT,

An Article of Foot-Gear Not Affected by
 the Present Generation.
 ''Boots have gone almost entirely out of fashion," said Fulton street shoe dealer to reporter recently. ''ln former years, or about the time of the war, they were very popular. But one man out of hundred will now wear them, and this is owing, suppose, to the fact that shoes are much cheaper. And then good boots are costly. 1 could not make good pair for less than twelve dollars. Old men whose dad dies wore boots cling to their old asso- citations, and it is with the utmost diffi- culty that they are made to give them up. A boot in warm weather is an abomination. It not only causes the wearer great discomfort, but is not a thing of beauty. have not sold pair of boots in a month. I notice that the present generation have much smaller feet than their fathers or mothers and that they take great pains to have them covered. The boot precludeS all idea of neatness or symmetry, and in consequence it has been for many years boycotted by young and dressy men. It is only in the far West, where the 'greaser' roams at will and where the pistol and bowie knife play important parts in the settlement of difficulties, that the boot is popular and much af- fected. Notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, many cattle dealers and cowboys still retain the habit of placing their trousers in their boot legs and ex- posing firearms. A few boots are now sold to horsemen, but they are made up in the finest style and best quality of leather. Oh no. Boots are but the relics of by-gone age, and never, l think, will become popular again. '- Brooklyn Eagle
