Records Of building associations-that

built depended upon the number of shares

lots, bid for by subscribers, and let to

A Miner who Made Twelve Millions.

Marysville, nearly thirty miles from

ance, but when one remembers the
wealth of the mines which have created
the town, he forgets the ugliness of
the streets, and ceases to notice the
dilapidation of the rudely built cabins.
Marysyille is chiefly famous as tho site
of the Drum Lummon, but does not
depend on this mine alone for its sup
port. The town is the chief seat of an
extremely rich district. already well
developed, and is an important suburb
of Helena. 1t is connected by rail with
the latter city. and will eventually he

The discoverer of the Drum Lum-

days before he sold his property and
returned to Helena much honored

known as "old Tommy" and was
looked upon as somewhat visionary

that his mine, where he lived and
labored alone, was valuable, but few

he turned away from the offer of

the miner was wiser than his friends,

POLICE SURVEILLANCE IN RUSSIA
The only shade of discomfort which an
American may meet in travelling in Rus
STA comes from their system of espion
age, and that is more in Imagination
than reality. Probably no country in
Europe has such a thorough system Of
police surveillance.
As soon as you reach their border your
passport Is given up and registered.
When you arrive at your hotel you give
it up again and it is at once sent to pol
ice headquarters, and you are again reg
istered. Whenever you change your 10
cation you do the same thing, and in
this way the landlord everywhere is made
responsible to the government for the
foreigners under his roof. Then, when
you wish to leave the country, you must
again send you passport to the police of
fee and obtain a permit, which is good
for only three days, and which is attach
ed to your passport and removed at the
last Russian station on the Austrian or
German frontier. So that your passport
contains complete record of when and
vhe .e You entered the country, JUS
VT re you have been and how long you
have remained. Yet with all this you
have no consciousness of being watched,
and you probablyHare not, when the au
thorities are once satisfied as regards
your nationality and good character.
And after all the plots that have been
formed against the government in for
eign countries, is it any wonder that
they should consider these precautions
necessary?-Henry NJ. Wright in Detroit

SOME FACTS ABOUT MoNEY.-Starch
and sugar when eaten undergo diges-
tive change Lefore they are assimilated.
In honey this change has been made to
considerable extent by the bees. 1t is
partly digested, easy of assimilation and
concentrated, aud furnishes the same
element of nutrition as sugar and starch
-imparts warmth and energy.
AS medicine honey has great value
and many uses. 1t is excellent in most
lung and throat affections, and is often
used with great benefit in place of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is person
with whom it does not agree, but most
people can learn to use it with beneficial
results. Children, who have more ma
tural appetites. generally prefer it to but
ter. Honey is laxative and sedative,
aud in diseases of the bladder and kid
neys it is an excellent remedy. 1t has
much the same effect as wine or stimu
lants, without their Injurious effects and
is unequaled in mead and harvest drinks.
AS an external application it is irritating
when clear and soothing when diluted.
In many places it is much appreciated as
remedy for Group and colds. La pre-
serving fruit, the formic acid it contains
makes a better pre- sentative than sugar
syrup, and it is also vsed in cooking and
confectionery.-Ame Bee Journal

A MendaciOus Mendicant.

General Washington, while visiting
New York in the fall of 1896. was ac-
costed one day on Broadway by a fif-
teen-year-old beggar, who asked the
General for aid, saying that he was an
orphan, with a paralytic father and a
dying mother to support.
Sir" said Washington, fixing his
eye sternly upon the beggar, you may
have judged from your reading in the
newspapers that l cannot tell lie.
Sometimes the papers mistake. l can
tell lie when hear it, especially one
so transparent as this. Had you
claimed to be so blind that you could
not see where your supper was to come
from, | might have been persuaded

came one of the best spies in the ser

A Japanese COlliery.

Among private enterprises the most
remarkable i'll Japan is unquestionably
the Takashima colliery which takes its
name from the rocky island on which
it stands. In its early days, and these
are but twenty years ago, it was petty
affair. producing a few hundred tons
annually for the use of japanese salt
manufacturers and occasional steam
ers. Now its yearly output is, says
the Japan Weekly Mail, about 100000
tons-the sales last March amounted
10 50,000-and its vicinity to Nagasaki
has the effect of bringing to that port
a large number of vessels. some to OBJ
tain supplies of fuel for themselves,
others to carry the mineral thence to
Shanghai, Hong-hong, and Singapore.
1t seems that 4 certain Mr.. Fuka kei-
kichi. who Is treated as the agent of
people recently dismissed from the
colhery, has been ''raving of the mine
as though it were an inferno of min
ers and suffering" and ''lamenting
over the work-people as though among
Gods creatures none were so wretched
and forlorn, and as a consequence the
Japan. Mall proceeded to give quiet and
comforting, though deeply interesting.
account of the great japanese colliery.
But first the writer affords a glimpse
of an extraordinary feature of the col
liery work at the port of Nagasaki, a
few miles distant from the mine. Not
less than five thousand women are
kept upon the staff of the enterprise
for the purpose of filing the bunkeIs
of vessels there arriving. The method
pursued is peculiar to Nagasaki.
Lighters carrying the coal come along
side the ship to be supplied, and with
each of them is a regiment of women
and girls. These form themselves into
the loop of chain connecting the hold
of the lighter with the deck of the
steamer. In moment the hands and
arms of this chain begin To move with
surprising rapidity and the precision
of long practice; aud little bags full of
coal pass up one side of the loop and
the same bags descend the other side
empty. There is not seconds delay.
The business goes on with lightning
like nimbleneSs, amid the laughter and
chatter of the cheerful workers. The
results achieved are most remarkable.
Under favorable circumstances as to
receiving capacity, a vessel can have
four hundred tons of coal put in her
bunkers in al hour, and the neatness
of the process is scarcely inferior to its
celebrity. Such an organization would
scarcely be possible outside of Japan.

Queer Customs of Jews.
Rending the upper garments is to
the Jews a sign of bereavement.

Rending the upper garments is to
the Jews a sign of bereavement.
The Semites seat themselves on the
ground seven days after a friends
death as a sign of mourning.

To comfort the departed soul of
Jew the memorial light is kindled.

prayer, the Jews think. helps the de-
ceased one step from purgatory.
The Jews exclude all relatives from
the chamber of a dying co-religionist.
''Only strangers should be present
when the soul leaves the body.
As soon as a Semitic death occurs, all
the vessels containing water in the
house are emptied.
The emptying of the water vessels
into the public roadway is the usual
mode Jews in Europe have ofannounc-
ing death.
In the interval between death and
interment the Jews lay the corpse on
the bare ground with the feet toward
the door.
just as near relatives are excluded
from the death chamber of a jew so
are females prohibited from attending
a funeral or interment.
On leaving a cemetery-which is
known as the bethclam, ''house of eter-
nity,n or bethhaim, ''house of life
it is customary for Jews to pluck some
of the grass growing there and throw
it over the shoulder without looking
back, repeating the words, Lila
moveth L netzack' Gle will destroy
death forever).
Two or three hours before Jewish
interment takes place the ceremonial
publication of the body, known as the
tahara, takes place. In consists mere

and that umbrella was as safe from theft
