Nothing of late date has been learned
concerning the transfer oi the Shelden n
Shaier mine lease IL is expected, how
ever, that the mine will be wrought dur
ing the coming summer.
Contrary to expectation the placing oi
the orders oi steel rails, at $31 80, previ-
iously reported, has failed, up to date,
to induce further orders I'm that line, and
the dullness which for many weeks has
characterized the market, continues to
opprcss the ore interests. As a matter
oi iact the ore dealers do not, mt this
writing, expect to sell a pound of the
prospective output until the middle al
March, 80 that there appears to be no
chance Of immediate relief, while the out
look in generalis hardly encouraging Tor
big trade this year. II the rail order,
above referred to, was fore-runner Of
the two million or more tons to beplaced,
for replacement and new lines, IL N safe
to- say that by the time the main body
arrives the advance guard will have been
lost sight of completely. IL can not be
denied that the railways are holding OF.
IL does not, at this juncture, seem To be
question OF price--for the price IL GER
eainly low enough--but n general diff
dence on the part oi the railways which,
before long, viii find its punishment in a
falling off ofireight receipts. Indeed, the
cessation oi coke shipments from the
Connelsyillc district liz already having
it's effect, and as furnace after furnace
blows out, the result becomes more APP
parent. Vessel freights, under these
circumstances, are apt to he fairly
reasonable, while some of the brokers
talk Of 81 90 or SO Ashland rate, pro-
ducers viii find no difficulty in getting all
the bottoms they want tocarry ore from
the head of Lake Superior To Lake Erie
ports at 81 80, with corresponding rates
Tor Marquette and Escanaba charters.
The statement in "a recent issue of the
Mining Journal, that there is now Mt the
lower lakeports 200, 900 tons oi unsold
ore, is quite absurd, the unsold ore being
less than 200, 900 tons. There Is, how
ever, large quantity Of contract ore ON
the docks yet, which should long ago
have been converted into pig iron. The.
surplus Of ore, therefore, h liable 10 ex-
ert a hurtful influence upon the ore
market, the scope and extent of which
remains 10 be seen. Thus lar there have
been no sales oi 1888 ore, sensational
reports to the contrary Notwithstanding.

The Cossacks are closely connected with
Muscovite history They conquered Siberia
and kept the Turks in check in the south !;
they crossed the st. Gothard under Souvarof
and entered Paris with Platoff; they excited
the admiration of Napoleon l, and later on,
in the last war, they crossed the Balkans, led
by Gen Gourko, and performed wonders Of
valor and recklessness. As a reward for
their glorious services this heroic population
enjoys special privileges. In 1870 the Cos
sacks were declared proprietors Of the lands
they had cultivated and the "Black Coun-
try became their fatherland. The Cossack
is soldier at II and wears the uniform till
he Is 90. He is ever in readiness to obey any
order, to start as an escort on a reconnois-
sance or as the bearer of dispatches. When
he returns to his home he tills the land
raises cattle, breeds horses, works salt mines
or fishes The steppes Of the Don are the

The 50 called felon is an acute inaamma-
ton of the sneaths of the tendons or Of the
coverings of the bone 1t is accompanied
with very severe throbbing pain, great
tenderness, and often much constitutional
disturbance, as indicated by fever and rapid
pulse. This affection is not only very dis
tresing, but is also attended with some
danger In persons debilitated and sickly,
death has been known to result from poison
Gus absorption. The skin covering the
| fingers Is very thick, so also are the deeper
coverings, especially that which envelops

ton extends, the danger becomes intensified.
| The absceSs, if not checked, sometimes pro-
ceeds up the wrist, and even to the elbow.
In the meantime the suiferiugs are terrible,
the parts are enormously swollen, and the
skin seems bursting If a knife is not used
to make free incisions along the track of the
disease, the pus will probably at last struggle

doing so tho muscles will be broken down

NOT YET OvERcROWOED.


The Earth Should Not Be Called Over
populated-Resources.
In recent report of the German statisti-
ion that population has not overcrowded any
part of the empire, and that its resources,
properly husbanded, are adequate to the sup
port of an enormous addition to Germany's
45, ,000, 900 people. 1t is inaccurate to say that
any part of Europe is overpopulated. When
tho most Of Germany was a succession of
barren plains, and large part of Holland
was under water, those countries could have
supported only a small part of the people who
now inhabit them 1t would have been a
case, however, not of excessive population,
but almost wholly undeveloped resources.
So long as human ingenuity can add to the
productiveness of a country it should not be
called overpopulated.
Mr.. Cadell of the Geological Survey of
Scotland has recently shown that while the
British public complain of overpopulation,
and look with favor upon schemes of state
aided emigration, vast deal can yet be done
to enrich soils, reclaim waste lands, develop
new industries and improve methods OF hus-
bandry, all of which would add greatly to
the resources of their little corner Of the
globe and enlarge its capacity for supporting
its teeming population in comfort The
Dutch are still retaining from the sea an
average of 3 500 acres a year, and Hollands
resources are more than keeping pace with
its increase OF population. Though there are
343 people to the square mile, the Dutch live
in comfort and few emigrate
China proper has only little over one
third of our area, though her population il
six times as great as ours, and yet, though
the industrial knowledge of the Chinese is il
many respects extremely primitive, China il
far from being overpopulated. The Chimes
treat their fields like gardens, gather fertiliz
ers from every conceivable source, SOW theil
grain in fursws, and hoe it as we do corn
wasting nothing In the processes of SOWING
and harvesting. Give the Chinese modern
agricultural implements, enlarge their scien
tific aud technical knowledge, and with thei
consummate painstadng still greater popu
lation may live within their borders.
1t gives us a vivid sense Of the grandeur o
our own country when we reflect that W
have as yet merely scratched the surface o
its ipexhausthle resources, and that hundred
of millions may live here in comfort.-Nev
