The Way a Mine is Developed.

They are not worth the labor making

They do not want to develop my property
for my benefit, and they become tired ami

and finally they sell out tor little or moth
ing, to get rid of it. The purchasers mus;
have my third, and l get all put in it, Or
may be more.
Then another company starts out, and it
winds up the same way. Finally a sue
cessor strikes it rich, and the stock he
comes very valuable, but it is only after
successive companies have been orga,.-
lied and gone to pieces. The presumption
is that all of these mines will be good. if
the persons at the head of them will only
stick together: but there's the rub, and
that is why an assay Of the men is of more

How They Drink beer in Spain.

cool accommodations The weather was
very warm, and Il cool spot as we'll as u
cool fatherland's draught was not to be
ttcspised. AS they entered they were con-
fronted by some Andalusian peasants in
their picturesque costume. They had evil
dently come in to the celebration of some
patron saints festival, and wished to
crafty their curiosity with regard to the
new strange drink styled "ccrveza' Two
hotties insecurity corked were brought,
large and small one, also soup dish,
into which l.aboisse poured the contents
OF the lager, which had u beer-like color
The contents OF the smaller bottle fol-
lowed, the fluid being of !. pale, lemonade
color Labolsse stirred up the mixture
before him with as much solicitude as
though connecting pineapple punch.
This was the custom Of the country. The
beverage, which savored more of flat LEM
onade than of beer, was then drunk out
of small glasses. --lsre Wer's Guardian.

The Sanitary Value Of Trees.


DR.. Stephen Smith recently read a
paper before the New York Academy OF
Sciences on the sanitary value of trees in
the city. 1t is a well-known fact that
during the intense heat of summer there
Is more suffering and death from sun
stroke and high temperature in the north
ern cities than in the south, result
which must he attributed to the absence
of suitable protection. From 5000 to
5000 people die every summer in the me-
tropolis from the effects of the heat.
In the arid, treeless streets and avenues
the temperature often runs from 1870 to
$50 degrees Fab, when under the branches
of a thrifty shade tree it will not exceed 70
OF SO degrees. In the absence of
sheltcring trees, the stone and brick
walls act ON the principle of
the regenerative furnace, ana absorb the
. heat Of the sun to yield it up again during
the night. If trees We're planted in the
streets, the pavenents and SUR
rounding walls would be much cooler.
and at the same time trees would
absorb the deleterious gases thrown
off from the lungs and from de-
composing matter, yielding in return Il
supply Of pure oxygen.
The value of Il systematic culture Of
trees in all of our large cities can hardly
lie estimated From both sanitary ana
artistic standpoint they are /; very desir-
able addition to any large city.-Scientific

believe it may be accepted as an axiom
that audiences make actors. An anecdote
Is related of Edwin Forres: to the effect
that upon one occasion, Thc.i playing in
Boston, he stepped to the footligEts and
said to one OF those woldrOuSly cultivated,
audiences which delight to exhibit their
culture by their silent solemnity: Ladies'
and gentlemen, il you don't applaud
can't act Irving says that applause is
rs necessary to the actor as air. But if
applause be essential us an incentive, and
US a momentary rest. how much. more
essential to careful and pal,staking act
ing is the presence of an audience su!ii-
GENTLY educated to understand at least
the general drift of what one is trying
to do.
1t takes brains to awake brains! Given
IN audience OF quick-witted, wcli-behavcd,
cultivated people, not afraid to express
their appreciation in applause, and any
actor who has a soul will reward their at
tention and enthusiasm by playing at his
best. Emerson never said a truer thing
than this, I'VE get out Of a thing just
what we take to it, and nowhere is this
more true than in IL theater. The law of
electrical reciprocity between auditor and
actor governs the character of

out ice, to the enthusiastic

If, fortunately, it burns within us. The
result of this extreme variation in audi
ences is singular and interesting Let an
actor play to succession Of phlegmatic
country audiences-though all country
audiences are not phlegmatic by any
means, and after while he will find IL
method growing upon him utterly insult
ed to the more experienced and refined
audiences of a city. So that u travelling

explosive, the other quiet and expressive.
