This mine, owned by the Phila-
delphia Company, is now working
twenty men and is showing up well.
A shipment of ore was received at

value of over $3.50 to the ton. The
ore is gray copper and is the highest
grade ever brought from the Smoky
district.
THE YANKEE BLADE.
During the past week new shaft
was commenced on this claim, and
twelve feet from the surface vein
of solid ore one foot in width was
found. 1t promises to be a rich
strike.
THE CARRIE LEONARD.
The machinery and concentration
is expected to be in running order
so that active work will be COM

MINING NOTES.
Marlatt's teams are busy haul
ing ore from the Tyrolese mine, in
Germania Basin. Fifteen tons are
now on the way here. The new
road is not as yet sufficiently
hardened for good hauling, and one
portion of the grade gave way un-
der the weight of team and
wagons passing over it.
The Blackhorse mine, on Boyle
Mountain, has been leased by the
Company to William Wilcox, who
has superintendent the property for
the owners for sometime.

The Seal Fishery.

The zeal fishery has been unusually
successful this year. Many steamers
have returned from the sealing grounds
loaded down almost to the waters edge.
Steamer Ranger with over two hun
dred men on board, returned to St.
Johns with $500 prime young harp
seals, the largest catch for her tonnage
ever taken into any port in the world,
every nook and corner of the ship being
jammed full. She was compelled to
steam slowly from the time of leaving
the ice, to prevent upsetting, and had to
creep home inch by inch. Fortunately
the sea was calm all the way. Her deck
covered to the top of her rails with 7,100
seals, vas sight never before seen in
st. Johns. The companion.way was
covered in. only room enough being left
for man to squeeze himself into the
doorway. The.lazaret contained 720, and
$50 were slowed under the hunks in
which the men slept. Eight puncheons
were filled with oil, and the rest was
slowed in the hold.-Island Press.

The First Bank in Europe.

The bank of Venice, the first of its
kind established in Europe, was founded
in 1171. 1t owed its existence to the
long wars between the Guelphs and the
Ghibcllincs, and the governments need
of money for conducting them. Having
exhausted every other resource, the state
was obliged to resort to forced loans
from its wealthy citizens. Then was cr-
ganized The chamber of loans, which by
degrees assumed the form of bank. 1t
is said of this institution that sit was
for many ages the admiration of Eu-
rope, the chief instrument of Venetian
finance, and the chief facility of COM
merce not surpassed by that of any Eu-
ropean nation" Funds once deposited
in the bank could not be withdrawn,
but were transferable at the pleasure of
the owners upon its books. So thor
oughly did the bank credits become the
means through and by which the fnan-
cial operations of the people were con-
Quoted, that with scarcely an exception
during its entire existence, these credits
were at premium over coin, the latter
being often clipped and worn, as we'll as
being of various countries and uncer-
tain values. We may infer that the peo-
pie were we'll satisfied with the workings
Of the bank from the statement Of a
we'll known economical writer that "no
book. speech, or pamphlet has been
found in which any merchant or dweller
in Venice ever put forth any condemna-
ton of it's theory or its practices. The
bank of Venice continued without in
tcrruption until the Venetian republic
was overthrown by the revolutionary
army of France in 1897.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The seeds OF love can never grow out
under the warm and genial influence OK
kind feelings and affectionate manhers'
We spend half our lives in making
mistakes, and waste the poor remainder
in thinking how we might have avoided
them.
True friendship increases as life's emo
approaches, just as the shadows lengthen
every degree the sun declines toward
setting.
If one only wished to be happy, this
could readily be accomplished; but we
wish to be happier than other people,
and this is almost always difficult, for we
believe others to be happier than they
are.
The love of singularity proceeds from
o restless mind, possessing some portion
of genius and large portion OF Tarlty;
it prefers novelties to truths, and aims at
being distinguished for its talents rather
than its deserts.
Always try to be of use in any erner-
gcncy, and keep your nerves as steady
and your wits as bright as you can; ana,
if there is nothing actually for you to
do, avoid hindering those who do some
thing, and dc not distract their attention
by restless folly.
A great number of our wants are
special wants of the imagination; VIC
want them simply because we think that
we want then; they give US no enjoy.
msnt when we obtain them the want OF
them is only known by disagFeeable
feeling that We are without them.
The way to make yourself pleasing to
others is to show them those small cour-
tesies in which there is no parade, whose
voice is too still to tease, and which man
ifest themselves by tender and affection:
ate looks, an1 little acts of attention and
kindness, giviny others the preference in
every little enjoyment, at the table, III
the field, walking, sitting and standing
Man has various nature which re-
quires variety of occupation and dis
cipline for its growth. Study, medita
ton, society, and relaxation should be
mixed up with his physical tolls. He
has intellect, heart, imagination, taste,
as we'll as bones and muscles; and he ls
grievously wronged when compelled ex-
clusively to drudgery for bodily sub
sistence.

Extensive Weddings.

In India, and in the great cities OF
Central Asia, the expenses of wedding
are very great, and consequently some
parents excuse themselves in disposing
of their daughters on the score of ex.
pense-the difficulty they find in defray-
ing the expenses of the wedding. The
unnecessary expenses of their marriage
ceremonies, the dinners, the music, and
the marriage presents. often hamper Il
family through life. Parents, however
poor, think it absolutely necessary to Gel
ebrate the marriage of their daughters at
great expense.
For example, munshi, or clerk, re-
ceiving the modest salary of thirty shil-
lings q month, will spend hundred
pounds upon his daughters wedding,
especially if she should be fortunate
enough to secure the hand of husband
in nobler or bettcr-born family than
his own. The dearly-loved customs can.
not be passed over. And if parents find
it impossible to meet the pecuniary de-
mands of the marriage ceremonies, the
needless parade of music, the useless arti-
cles of finery for the girls person, and
the marriage portion in goods and chat
tells, the girl has no alternative but to
remain gle all the days Of her life.
There are many daughters in high
born but needy families in this position.
1t is this difficulty that in darker days
induced Mohammedan villages to follow
the example of the Rajputs and to de-
stroy their female children at their
birth.
1t is related by Mr.. Nicer Hason Ali,
an English lady who married
Mohammedan gentleman in Luck
now some fifty years ago, that Nawao
ASCOT nd Dowlah, hearing with horror
of the frequent occurrence of female in
fanticide amongst poor villagers, issued
O proclamation to his subjects in Dude,
commanding them to desist from this
barbarous custom, and as all inducement
to the wicked parents to preserve their
female offspring alive, offering grants
of land to every female as a. marriage
portion. 49,, !.
Even in the present day the birth of
q daughter casts temporary gloorn
over a Muslin family, while the birth
of boy is a season of rejoicing. Some
saw it is more honorable to have sons
than daughters, but others believe that
it is the expense and trouble of settling
the daughters is the real cauae of this
unnatural feeling. Tile Leisure Hour.

Concerning tho Cereals.

A German scientist presents some III
teresting information in paper on the
original habitat of some of the cerealN
Barley was cultivated before any of the
other cereals in Scandinavia, and to it
the generic name of "corn" was re-
stricted by the Mortimer from the eari-
est times. AS a proof of the high lati-
tude at which corn could be grown in
remote age the Egils Saga is cited where
mention is made of barn in Helgcland
(sixty-fve degrees north latitude) used
for storing it and capable of containing
tables sufficient 10 accommodate 800
guests at feast. Barley was cultivated
in Iceland from $40 to 400, and then
the inhabitants ceased to raise it and
became dependent upon the home coun
try for their supply. Lately the Danish
government and private individuals havc
introduced into Iceland with consider
able success not only barley but vcge-
tables and fruits. In Norway anything
like good barley cannot be grown much
further than seventy degrees north, and
in Sweden the polar limit is about sixty.
eight degrees. Rye came into use as a
breadstuff in Scandinavia at very early
time. The summer crops of rye are gen.
orally fit for cutting when tho barley
harvest is ready.

The Paper Age.

Since the discovery of paper from
rags, about 900 AID, we date the paper
age. Since then all has been easy enough.
Books took the lead, newspapers follow
ed. periodicals, magazines and trade
journals closed the triumphant march to-
ward complete happiness. Scientists,
always short-sighted folk. began to look
upon the paper age as nearing its close.
Poor souls! Paper bags and paper boxes
made them smile; paper boats, paper
barrels and paper wheels gave them a
chill in the dorssl region; paper collars
and paper handkerchlefs set them hem
ming and having; paper bottles, paper
tea caddies and paper chimneys created
quite futter in so.called scientific
circ!es;" paper timber and paper flooring
render them rather uneasy; paper shirt
fronts and paper slippers broke them
down entirely. But the end is not yet.
We are, in reality, only just entering
upon the border, 80 to speak OF the gen.
uinc paper age. In few short years,
in our paper shirts and paper trousers,
we shall set down to our paper tables,
upon our paper chairs, and drink our
coffee out of paper cups and eat our
eggs with paper spoons. When we 60
ont of q morning, we shall make ready
our paper shoes, paper overcoat, paper
gloves, paper umbrella or paper cane
and paper hat; kiss the baby, happy in
his paper pinafore, trip lightly down the
paper stairway, over the paper sidewalk
to our paper carriage, and start down
town, and continue our noiseless ride
over the paper pavement, stopping once
more, possibly, to order the latest paper
novelty for oar better-half. Oh, no, We
wise men, the end of the paper age is
not yet.- CQltirat0r.
