The Supply ofBorax.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express.
"The price OF commercial borax has
greatly decreased during the past
three years." said d ealer to areport
er recently. "It can be bought now
for half what it cost in 1882. Then
the market rate was eleven cents g.
pound, while at the present time it is
but five an1 half cents pound.
The falling off in price has continued
notwithstanding the imposition OF a
tariff which virtually prohibits the
importation OF borax and boracic
acid. It has been due, therefore, to
consumption not keeping up with the
supply. The production of borax on
the Western coast, which is the only
part of the country where it is found,
has been steadily on the increase.
Last year 4,5OO tons were extracted
by the various borax mining compa-
nies in California and Nevada"
ITO what uses is borax applied?"
"Its use has not grown more limit
ed, but it has not kept pace with the
production. 1t is employed in weld
Ing, glazing, pottery and cleansing.
The iron trade consumes the largest
quantity, and with the increase OF
that industry the business of borax
mining will be benefited. New uses
are constantly being found for this
mineral. At first it was only used by
iron workers and blacksmiths. It's
defensive qualities were revealed after
ward. The manufacture OF glazed
iron and earthenware was begun after
other virtues had been discovered in
borax, and now it is used in packing
meats in Chicago. Notwithstanding
the supply from Italy, large quanti-
ties of borax are exported to Europe
from the Pacific Coast. Recently
5000 pounds were shipped to Liver
pool. Some OF the London illustrated
papers contain flaming advertise
ments, in true American style, lauding
the virtues of soap made from Califor-
MIA borax. Boracic soaps and borax
in the shape it comes from the mines
are admirable cleansers. A piece OF
borax dropped into the water renders
it pleasant to wash in"
'Is the supply in this country
large?"
"Practically inexhaustible, as when
crude borax is removed from the fields
where it is found a renewal oft comes.
Most OF the mineral deposits OF this
region carry borax in crude form,
and consequently there are many
sources from which pure borax is OBJ
tained. The crude borax of California
is of the highest quality. The largest
supply comes from Teel Marsh, in the
Candelaria district, Nevada. This
field has been worked the longest and
has given the greatest yield OF any on
that coast. There is q big marsh
twelve miles long in San Bernardino,
and several in Mono Lake and other
counties"

A Story of Some Kisses.

One of our most eminent stage he.
Goes, says the Berlin Tagblatt, WAS
travelling by train to Switzerland a few
weeks ago. Opposite him sat couple
OF handsome young ladies, who not
only fairly stared him out OF counte.
aance, but made him the topic Of their
whispered conversation. Flattered
at first by this delicate attention, the
actor good-humoredly submitted to
it, but in the long run began to grow
tired OF "this sort of thing" and de-
termined to put a stop to it. When
in the tunnel, before reaching Laus-
anne, he imprinted q few audible kiss
es on the back of his hand. After the
train emerged from the tunnel the
actor sat calm and impassive as ii
nothing had happened, while the ladies
hrst stared at each other and then be-
gan series of mutual recrimin ations
ON the enormity OF their conduct in
taking such liberties with the hero Of
the footlights. OF course each blamed
the other, and the dispute lasted until
the train stopped at Lausanne. Be.
lore leaving the car the actor bowed
to the ladies. hat in hand, and said:
Ladies, the great attention YOU be.
slowed on me during the Journey
makes me naturally anxious to learn
which OF you gave me in the tunnel so
striking a proof OF your affection"
re dld notwalt for q reply, but left
the ladies to their reflections.

A ssFind" in Ancient Egypt.
London Standard.

A correspondent kindly sends US the
following interesting extract from a
private letter which has just reached
him from Ramleh, near Alexandria,
containing short account of the un-
earthing of an ancient statue: "a
great red granite statue has been dis
covered ten miles away in the desert.
1t represents hefamous Pharaoh, who
was responsible for all the Egyptian
plaques, and on one side of it is a
statue OF little baby, said to be that
of the next Pharaoh, who perished in
his rash attempt to drive through the
Red Sea. The chief of the coast

gled tobacco, so he invited Mr.. Carver,
myself, and some others to 20 and see
the old fellow raised to the light OF
day once more. It has been lying
there three thousand years. About
eighteen of us met at the little station
a short mile off in the desert, and
after all hours crawl in the train,
were landed forlornly in the midst OF
the sand, nearly two miles from our
destination. We walked to the place
and found the statue surrounded by
about forty Arabs, and just to be
raised. AS it seemed likely to be
long business, we wandered about and
explored a small staircase leading
down into a diminutive chamber. We
had q well-known Egyptian with us,
AMIR. Wilbor, to explain all the hiero.
glyphics, ETC., and we discovered bits
OF mosaic pavements by scraping
away the sand. All the wiseacres
present were convinced it is the site oi
an ancient city, and that many inter-
esting discoveries will be made when
Middlemas Bey can~set his men to
work digging. About IL o'clock ru-
mors went about that the old
King was coming up out of his
grave, and we all hocked back to
welcome him to daylight again after
subterrestrial existence of 5000
years. OF course, one of the ubiqui-
tous tribe OF photographers were pres
ent, and before the resurrection ap-
paratus was taken away he took us
all hanging on to the ropes like stage
sailors, the statue in the middle stand
ing up in it's grave. There are no end
Of OF hieroglyphics written on his back
and up the sides. He is very we'll
carved, and almost perfect except for
the nose, which has succumbed to the
wear and tear of existence The mus
cles on the arms are well shaped, and
he is we'll shaped altogether, and con-
sidered by Mr.. Wilbor to be very
valuable find At 1890 we had
lunch in the fort which is close by.
There are a great many good English
cannon rusting away because no one
had energy enough to remove or pre-
serve them, and we found large guam
titles OF shells, loaded and unloaded,
in the ammunition vaults. The final
destination OF old Pharaoh is yet un-
decided"

There is movement on foot in
Rhode Island to extend to women the
same rights OF suffrage as the men en-
Joy, but no great effort is being made
to remove the restrictions which pre-
vent many OF the male residents of the
State from voting. The Constitution
has provision which requires that
naturalized citizens must own $1GO
worth of real estate before they can
enjoy the privilege of the ballot. If a
foreigner becomes a citizen by the ac-
QUESTION of real estate of suffi-
cient value, and then by sale or other
wise loses title to his real estate, he
loses his right of vote also.
The Hope pioneer., 1886-02-26

Before the late riot in London, it
was stated, on reliable authority,
that per cent. OF the skilled work
men i'll all mechanical departments
were out of employment, and many of
them for the first time compelled to
go upon the parish for support OF
themselves and their families. This
condition OF affairs-which had its
logical outcome in the greatest riot
seen in London in a hundred years
may or may not be within the reacl,
OF remedial legislation; but it certainly
sinks into insigni6cance all other ques-
tions with which the present parlia-
ment is expected to deal.

The "Early-Bird'' Error.

Socially speaking, early rising is an
error. II we go early to bed, well and
good. But our artificial nineteenth
century life will not permit much early

ties of the morning. We do not deny
it. Occasionally early rising is all
very we'll. But it is not healthy to- get
up early as rule-that is, very early

and in winter we are simply frozen.
Cui bono? ITO what advantage?)
Besides, your habitual early riser is a
nuisance. If he does not disturb you
he will come down OH you from his as

moralists, "by rising two hours earli-.

but you may not live forty years, and
the want of rest may shorten my life
too! Thomas Moore tells us: "The
best of all ways to lengthen our days
is to steal a few hours from night. my

5hority. But there is an application,
socially and individually, to the prov

overlooked. "The early bird picks up

Congress has been in session nearly
three months, but as yet not much
has been done, outside of the commit
tee work. Most of the daily sessions
have been consumed in tedious speech
es, which very few care to hear, and
which nobody will read. The long de.
bate on. the Fitz John Porter bill was
wholly a waste of time as every mem.
Der had made up his mind before they
were delivered. And now it is intimat
ed that we are to have flood OF sill
Yer speeches which are equally unnec
essary. The result will be to prolone
the session until the summer heat
forces an adjournment without action
on many measures OF great import
ance to the public.

What mi.hty changes can come to
men III u few years in this country.
The marriage of Miss Katie Bantz Da-
Wis, to Lieutenant Brown OF the navy,
illustrates this. The bright young
sirl who took husband in Baltimore
is the second daughter OF ex-senator
Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia.
She is an interesting young lady, In
heritins many of the traits OF her
mother for whom she is named. The
magnificent wedding and the number
of distinguished guests who were there
Illustrate one of the singular phases Of
American life. Not many years ago
her father was brakeman on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. the president OF
which stood at the marriage feast. He
is a plain, unassuming man, but saw
his second daughter welded hgreat
CSlCilIollf. llclilc, HIS clucSC Cllild, was
at her sisters nuptials. She is the
wife OF Stephen B. Ellllns, and
there are few more charming wom-
Ell in the country than Mrs. Elkins.
AS Senator Davis looked on at this
wedding cermony, with all its style
and richness, he must have thought
what change had come upon him
since he married Miss Katie Bantz, at
Frederick, Md, when he WAS a poor
man. Mr.. Blaine once told me that
Senator Davis was in prospective the
richest man in America, and he isnow
In actual possession OF many millions
of dollars. He has risen to a place
where he can command for his daugh-
ter's wedding the fashionable people
of the country, as we'll as men distin-
guished in every walk of life. YET l
remember that when he was first elect
ed to the United States Senate, in
which body he served twelve years
with great acceptability, those who
believe that booll-learning made up
the sum of education sneered at his
lack of rhetoric and good penmanship.
But Davis set al. these people aside
in the race, and, with his homely hab-
its, grew to be man of force in every
position which he occupied.
