PROFITABLE ENTERPRIsE.

PROFITABLE ENTERPRISE.
Too long and too generally the
impression has prevailed that loss
was shadow that like vulture
followed the pathway Of mining en-
terprise. The untruth that 'two
dollars have been put into the
mines for every one taken out" has
almost crystalized into croaking
proverb, Notwithstanding the fact
that the metallic currency Of the
world came from the mines and is
largely absorbed in other industries
while the gold and silver mines of
this country are producing over
eighty-six million dollars annually.
If it be true that this product Of the
past year cost s172.Oo0,OoO, then
mining must be admitted to be an
Improbable business. The absurd
lty OF the charge, however, is suflic-
lent to prove its falsity. While it
is true that great amount Of mon
ey has been paid.that brought no
return, that the record Of losses
charged to the account of mining,
is appalling in its magnitude, it is
nevertheless true that the mining
industry can show larger and more
reliabls returns for the money in
vested in it than any other recog-
nized business that can be named.
1t must be understood that money
paid for stock certificates offered by
strangers, based upon location
stakes and an assay certificate, is
not money put into mine nor. into
mining. It bears no more resem-
blance to mining than wheat deals
on the Board of Trade do to farm
ing. Blindapurchases of interest in
mining claims, without examina-
ton of the character of the manage
ment or the ore, cannot upon any
reasonable basis be recognized as
mining, as no one would claim that
an unconsidered investment in any
direction was business.
The Chicago Mining Review as
serts that thorough investigation
of the available facts shows con-
clusively that a large majority OF
the business men of this country
have. almost universally found leg
itimate mining investment profita-
bic, when made upon business prin-
ciples, as they would make any
other investment. AS a matter of
fact majority of the heaviest cap
italists and millionaires of the ma
ton owe their vast Accommodations
of wealth to judieious mining in
vestment, and it would be difficult
to find in any Of the larger cities,
east or west, a prominent and lead
ing business man who is not largely
and protitably interested in mining.
These facts are well established and
so generally prevalent that now, in
this stage Of mining history, an ac-
acknowledgement Of repeated or scr
ious loss and failure is such re.
Election upon business ability,and
good judgment, that man may
well hesitate before he condemns
himself by such admission.

Monogram Stockings.
FASHION THAT ONLY GIRLS WITH PRETTY FEET
WILL ADOPT.

FASHION THAT ONLY GIRLS WITH PRETTY FEET
WILL ADOPT.
From the Philadelphia Record.
All the girls in upper tendon are wearing
stockings with their monograms embroidered
on them. Since the West Spruce street young
man conceived the idea Of sending a dozen
pairs Of this kind to his Bryn Mawr young lady,
and she exhibited them to host Of admiring
girl friends, all the embroidering establish
ments have been rushed with work. A re-
porter called at one of those places yesterday
shining needles, drawing fancy stitches in all
kinds of materials When questioned about
the stockings, the authenticated and hazel
eyed young girl who was in charge said the
story was true, and that they were unable to
fill the orders they have received lately.
'The monograms are worked in the stockings
in all colors and all kinds of materials" said
she. where are they placed? Why, what
silly question! They are worked on the instep,
OF course, where they may be seen. They GER
tainly would not be put on at the upper end Of
the stocking, where they would be hid. 1t costs
% to have two-letter monogram worked on a
pair Of stockings, and when the girls spend
that much money they want something to show
for it. The fad is going to be all the rage at
the fashionable gatherings this winter, because
the ladies will be wearing their low-cut slip
pers. 1t will be just as good as directory for
the young men, for if they want to know a
lady's name they need only to look at her feet
Ladies with big feet won't use the monographs,
because they would attract attention to the size
of their pedal extremities and all our work is
being done on small stockings"

VI. DE Lesseps' Difficulties.

HE RECEIVES GENERAL SYMPATHY. WHILE rHR
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES Is CONDEMNED.
All the anger Of the French shareholders In
the Panama canal company over the collapse Of
the enterprise seems to be directed against the
chamber of deputies for failing to extend aid
On the other hand, general sympathy is er-
tended to NJ. De Lesseps. The cabinet has de-
cided that when the committees report on the
bankruptcy bill is presented TO the senate on
Friday the president of that body shall ask
leave to interrupt the budget debate in order
to detach from the bankruptcy bill an article
applicable to the position Of the Panama canal
company, the object being to save il from bank
ruptcy.
The temporary directors of the company
share the opinion expressed by De Lesseps,
that stoppage of the operations on the canal
ought TO be specially avoided, and every legiti-
mate means resorted to to keep the work going.
M. De Lesseps says he will not accept foreign
aid in his difficulties. The work Is French,
and must remain So

The Women's Club Question,

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
1T has been suggested" said lady in dis
cussing the club question in its relation to
women. that the seductiveness and freedom
OF club life may be reason why bachelors
cling with such tenacity to their freedom. In
deed, many are heard to declare that they find
1t impossible to conceive why man should
want home when he can live at his club in
much more elegance and luxury for not more
than half the expense.
Why should not this be a case of tweedle-
dee and tweedle-dum? Would not the life of
an unmarried woman that poor specimen of
forlornity generally pitied as an old maid. be
a thousand times more agreeable if she were a
member of a club, whose clubhouse YVES situ-

independent way for single women and widows

OF living alone in ones home, or doubly alone

Theater Visiting.


Visiting around at the theater has become
quite a fad here in Chicago with the young man
who sports dress suit when he goes TO the
playhouse. Have you ever noticed him visit
around? No? Well, il would be worth your
while TO watch him. While the play is going
on he does the ''ennui act" and gazes about the
house in search OF some lady friend. Before
the curtain falls he usually discovers her. and
while the under stratum is sliding out after
cloves and cigarettes he takes the longest aisle
route to the seat of the fair one. She NAV be
three seats from the end of a row. but that
makes no difference. Teetering down the aisle
on the toes of patent leather pumps, and with
arms properly akimboed, he at last psuses be-
fore her. bends his body at the belt and awaits
her recognition. When she gives il. accom-
panied by smile, he bends again and again with
that mstchless grace possessed only by the
dude and the foot-rule and fires the usual airy
nothings at her over the heads of the inter-
mediate auditors. His thumbs probe his
breeches pockets and the scene-shifter of facial
expression shoyes ON a time-worn smile which
has done duty on numberless occasions. IL the
lady's brother is with her and has left his seat
lit is a safe bet that he has-the caller plsnks
himself down by her side and has his chat, re-
naming there until the brother returns to
claim his seat by murmured Good evening"

ventilating Our Homes.

MEN WHO LIVE IN HOUSES OF REEDS HAVE con-
sTIrUTIoNs OF OAK AND VICE VERSA.
From the n. Y. Fashion Bazaar
An old writer says: when men lived in
houses of reeds they had constitutions of oak;
when they live in houses of oak they have con-
situations Of reeds" Evidently the truth incul-
Gated is that the better the air and more boun-
tiful its supply the healthier is the inmate of a
house, be it palace or cottage. Too often the
very wealth of a householder initiates
against his splendid mansion becoming that
ideal home Of comfort that il should be, and
the inmate of some wretched, leaky little howell
perched on rocky hillside. will have every
advantage over such one as regards vigor of
body and elasticity of spirits.
Science tells us that there is a needed respi-
ration for the walls of our houses, and that for
tunately for us, whether conscious of it or not,
the materials of which our modern houses are
made admit OF the passage of air in a greater
or less degree. Brick, stone. wood. and NOR
tar, solid as they look to us, are easily pierced
by that volatile fluid which we call air Such
Is the elasticity of air that fortunately for us
slight force only is needed to put and keep it in
motion. The difference Of 20 degrees Fahren-
heit in temperature between outdoor air and
indoor air will cause the passage of about 8
cubic feet of air each hour through every
square yard of wall surface made of brick. A
plastered wall also admits of the free passage
Of air, and actually serves as as efficient filter
by arresting the progress of dust or any of
those particles-often injurious-with which
the atmosphere is laden.
Heat Is the great motor for ventilation,
whether natural or artificial. and the great
problem in winter is to introduce sufficient
quantity Of pure warmed air TO make ones
room comfortable without attendant draughts
that shall imperil the health of their occupants
Open fireplaces. whether the fuel consumed in
them be wood or coal, are among the very best
ventilators that we have, and yet the question
OF expense is bringing them more and more
into disuse. But there is no need to be dis
couraged on that score, because the ewes of all
practical people are being opened to the i'm
portance of combining the twin forces of heat
and ventilation in such a manner as shall tend,
in the future, TO prolong life as well as render
itmore comfortable and enjoyable.

India-Rubber Horse Shoes.

NEW DEVICE THAT WILL SHORTLY REPLACE IRON
IN THE sHoEING OF HORSES.
From the New York Mail and Express
1.-The proposed substitution of India rubber
for metal in the manufacture of horse shoes is
based upon various supposed advantages, says
a well-known authority, lone of these being
that the former enables a horse to go easier
over all kinds Of roads and rough and smooth
ground without slipping. The contrivance
brought forward for this purpose is such as to
obviate In one instance the necessity of using
an iron shoe, which can be moved momentarily
when the horse is shod with an iron shoe,
According to this design the shoe consists of
an India-rubber bottom piece nodded to fit
over and around the frog of the hoof. with
ledge or protecting rim rising up the front and
around the level where the nails are clamped,
the projection having an edge under which a
steel band or other appliance can be drawn and
nipped tight to retain the rubber shoe. The
band is connected by studs, which pass through
the heel part Of the hoof, this being cut away
from the inner side for the purpose, and the
stud or studs may work eccentrically to obtain
grip or fixing. II the rubber shoe is used with
an iron shoe the frog portion or pad has a
front plate and two side wings partially i'm
bedded in to hold the rubber shoe in Nlace. II
the rubber shoe be divided or made thin in the
center. a swivel or other bar can be contracted
from the rear to reduce the width of the pad
so that it enters easily and also expands 20 a.
to nix the rubber shoes in position.

The Surgeon and the Sentry.

From the Army and Navy Review.
An army surgeon was one night annoyed by
the coughing of the sentry outside his tent.
Unable to sleep, he decided that something
must be done for the man, and SO compounded
him strong and disagreeable dose of medi-
cine. Then. going out. he ordered the man to
take it. The sentry first refused politely. and
afterward angrily and emphaticaliy. But the
surgeon sternly insisted upon his rights, and
the man was finally induced TO swallow the
compound. The result was evidently satisfac-
tory. The sound of coughing ceased in the
camp, and the surgeon went to sleep with con-
sciousness Of having done good deed
The next morning he was summoned by the
officer in command, who said to him: '.How
is this sir? l hear serious complaints about
you in relation to the sentries One of them
has reported that in the middle of the night
you came out of your tent and abused him in
the most dreadful manner. He said you made
him swallow drink, which must have been
poison" The guard had been relieved while the
surgeon was compromising his mixture, and he
had cured the wrong man.

The Hero of "Robert Elsmere. F"

From the Chicago Times.
Rev. DR.. Robert Collyer preached sermon
on 'Robert Elsmere" recently, making use of
the words From faith to faith" as a text. In
the course of his discourse he said
Il cannot divest myself of the idea that I
have seen Robert Elsmere-at anv rate. the
perfect image of the man. Ten wears ago a
friend and L were wandering in Westmore-
land near a graveyard and we saw him; we
didn't speak to that tall, slender man with
gray eyes and holy face, although he looked
as II he desired to communicate with us. He
was evidently man born to wear the sacred
robes-a man in molly earnest to be about his
Masters business So he stands before us,
the noble and beautiful young priest He
married such woman as we all like to read
about, but as only Robert Elsmere married
She was not learned except in wholesome
household ways; not an angel but dipped in
angel instincts. Well, there comes into the
life OF the young priest a man who never had
any particular creed, and this man was to be-
come Elsmeres evil genius. The latter felt
that as minister he must keep his heart and
mind open to reasoning, and he found that be-
fore long he couldn't accept the Bible in the
DID, unquestioned way The result was peril
GUS. He no longer appeared at his work with
the old light in his eyes. His wife couldn't
follow in the search. She could not weep and
wait in sorrow. He was drifting away from
his old quiet moorings to an unknown sea.
Pleadings and prayers availed not. for there
was now spirit within the man that led him
on. The story is an old one. knew it thirty
years ago. There was only one thing for Rob-
ert Elslnere to dO-to throw up his hands and
on his robes and give up the sacred ministry.
