The Mind and the Legs

from tie Denrer Tribune Republican.
Men generally cross their legs when
there is the least pressure on their minds.
You will never find man actually en-
reed in business with his legs crossed.
Tue limbs at those times are stlaighter
than at any other, because the mind and
body work together. A man engaged in
auditing accounts will never cross his
legs; neither will man who is writing
az article, or who is employed in any
manner where bis brain is actively en-
G iged; when at work in sitting posture
the limbs naturally extend to the floor in
perfectly straight line. A man may
cross his legs if he is sitting in an Office
Chair discussing some business PROPOSE
ton with another man, but the instant
he becomes really IN earnest and per-
caves something to be gained, his limbs
rncross quick as flash, he bends for
ward toward his neighbor, and begins to
use his hands. That is a phase that |
believe you will always observe.
Men oftencross their legs at public
lettings because they so there to listen,
to be entertained; they are not tie
actors in the performance, and they
naturally place themselves in the NEST
comfortable position known to them,
II mely, that of leaning we'll back in
heir chairs and crossing their legs. A
2.n always crosses his legs when lie
. IDS a newspaper, but is more apt to lie
Il Nn when he reads a book. He reads
re paper, of course, to inform himself,
b It at the same time the perusal of its
atents is recreation for him, and his
iy again seeks its position of relaxa-
n.
When man is reading newspaper
: d waiting for his breakfast his legs
irs always crossed, but so soon as tie
breakfast is brought to him he puts tie
paper aside, straightens out his legs. ard
goes to work; that is, begins to eat, his
mind now turning OH the duties of the
iIy before him. Men cross their legs in
:. ballroom, but it is far from an elegant
thing to do, and is not done by tho e
w,!o have been brought up in good Sc
CT ". 1t is your "thre e-penny- yourg
m,.u' who crosses his legs at ball, AMI,
would you believe it, have seen young
la'iies do the sam, thing?

Copper Mines.

A correspondent of the L. r.
Gazette speaking of the various
mining enterprises of our neigh
boring county Of Ssarey says;
The Copper Mountain Mining
Company is composed of resident
citizens Of the county, of two resi-
dent at Harrison, Ark, and one
resident in Florida. OF course,
what has been done is only an in
oeption, The gentleman in charge
Is a cautious miner, and having
been compelled to grope his way
until from experience there was
derived judgment to guide him in
new field, the consequences is
that developments have progress
ed slowly, but at the same time
with the best results possible.
With their present openings their
output is ten tons of ore per day
with five hands. This can be
readily increased; and in addition,
to say nothing Of an arrangement
with other parties leasing them,
other lodes for 10 per cent. of the
ore, MINERS rule, Mr.. Mills has
developed a lode, disconnected
from the one now worked, which
in the quality and quantity of the
ore promises to show up as a real
bonanza to his company. 1t is
not their expectation to attempt
the reduction of their oars, but
otherwise, have contracted with
the Eureka Smelter Company
the Smelter Company to take the
ore from the dump and to receive
one-third of the ores that run over
80 per cent, and one-half when I'M
der that per cent, the contract to
continue five years from the LIST Of
September last. The smelter will
be III six sections and will have Il
capacity of twelve tons to the shift
twelve hours), the company to in
crease the capacity according to
the output of the mines.

Don't Want to take His Own
Medicine.

The other day an old friend of
the President from Buffalo called
at the White House. The Presi-
dent was much pleased with
him, and they discussed many top
les. In relating part of the inter
view the Buffalo friend said that
Mr.. Cleveland had expressed him
self quite freely ON the second
term question.
"When / came here at fiji st [ did
not care particularly about the
place" the President is quoted as
saying. But after | was here Il
short time the life became more
agreeable, and | began to like it.
This feeling has increased"
"And you want to come back
again?" the Buffalo friend said he
asked.
yes, | think / would not mind
another term" was the reply.
The Buffalo friend made no SEE
cret of the fact that the PresideG,
talked this way, and perhaps the
President wants the impression to
get abroad.

The Frisco train which left st.
Louis last night was stopped at
Pacific, station some thirty miles
west Of st. Louis, and the Adams
express car robbed of $4,000 In
cash. An entrance was effected by
one Of the gang who presented to
the messenger q forged letter from
Superintendent Barrel saying that
the bearer was messenger on his
way to take n station in the Intian
Territory. Stones had been piled
on the track at the point named,
and this caused the engineer to
stop the train when confederates
entered and with the aid of a man
inside gagged the regular messen-
ger and made off with their plum
der. Three sacks of silver dol
lars were left untouched, the rob
bers probably finding these too
heavy to carry away. None of the
gang were captured Eureka
