N. 7. Engineering and Mining journal
On another page our correspond
ent, Mr.. Benedict, calls attention to
the fact that, although the rates of
wages paid at the Cornish mines are,
rs Al average, from third to one
fourth those paid our miners in the
West, yet the cost of doing equal
work here is no greater and is often
less than there. This fact we did not
question; OH the contrary it is per.
fectly well.known to all who have
made themselves familiar with the
subject.
Some years ago we had occasion to
visit the Cornish tin mines, and at the
Dolcos'h-a magnificent body
the total cost OF mining, stamping and
concentrating the tin stone was in
round figures about IS a ton Of rock
raised. The output of the mine was
at that time about 200 tons a day,
and there was nearly 1850 names up
OIL the payroll, of which about one
half were underground" hands, at
an average wage Of about three
shillings, or IS cents q day, aud the
balance "surface" hands, mostly
women and girls, whose average pay
was about % cents day. The un.
dergrounl work in Cornwall, as here,
is done for tn, most part by contract,
ut SO much per fatho,n OF ground or
per foot Of drift.
Such a" expenditure Of labor for
such An output would bankrupt any
mine in America at our rate Of wages,

sociable In Death.

There was a well-to-do Irishman up on
O'Fallon street, near Biddle market, in St
Louis, who found himself about to pass
away. His name was Maloney. He sent for
his old friend OiConnor to come and mako
his will. Everything was In readiness and
the dying man said: "Put down $500 for
masses up at st. Laurence O'Toole's for the
repose Of mo soul" The pen scratched away,
and then Mr.. O'Connor said: "What MKT,
Mr.. Maloney7n "Put down $500 for the
Little Sisters of the Poor. Have ye that
down, Mr.. O'Connor2n ~ have Mr. Maloney.
What nixtf "Put down $3.50 for the st.
Louis Orphan asylum" "What MKT, Mr..
Maloneya" "Put down 81 ,0O) for me brother
Pat. He don't made it, but it's all the same;
can't carry 1t wild mo- "What MKT,
Mr.. Maloneya" So the work went on
solernnly and slowly, tho dying man
bringing himself up with an effort to the
task, and Mr.. o'Connor stopping now and
then to draw bis finger across his nose and
sniff sympathetically. Finally the dying
man said family; II think that's all have to
will" O'Connor footed up tho items, looked
at the balance in the little old bank book and
said; "No., Mr.. Maloney, there's tin dollars
yitn The dying man lay absorbed in thought
for few moments, and then said: "O'Con-
nor, put down that tin dollars to spend with
the byes at me funeral" Mr.. O'Connor be-
gan to write; then he stopped, looked toward
the bed with a puzzled expression, and asked
softly: "Mr. Maloney, shall put it down to
spind going to tho funeral or comm back
from itf' The dying man lay very quiet for
a few moments, as he studied the problem,
and then with an effort replied: "O'Connor,
put down tin dollars to spind goin' to the
funeral, for thin and only thin will DO wild
ye."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

contractor 20 supply Heaith.

Perhaps the most interesting suggestion in
Mr.. Edwin Chadwiclx's presidential address
to the Sanitary association was that about
"Health Contractors Mr.. Chadwick Is a
veteran in tho cause of public health, and
has the old mans privilege of looking into
the future. A time will come, he seems to
think, when communities will invite tenders
for the supply of public health just as they
do now for tho supply Of moro tangible COM
nodities. "Sanitationistsn will that be the
terrible wordD will contract to supply SO
much public health per 1000 for so much a
year. Even now, said Mr., Chadwick, ga
contractor with enlarged and commensurate
powers might contract for the reduction OF
tho death rate OF Manchester from % to 10
in 1,000.n No doubt he might-if no were
given commensurate powers II all turns
on that And as tho powers would be likely
TO trench on moneyed interests at every turn
it will be some time, we fear, before Mr.
Chadwicks dream is fulfilled.
Tho logical basis of Mr.. Chadwick's argu
ment was tho monetary value of saving {
human life. Every human being In the lnnt

The FRENCH woman,s STRICT Honesty.

Frenchwomen are honest. There is a corn
market every Saturday at Chartres, the most
important In France, with tho exception of
Paris. 1t is worth visiting for the sake of
seeing the operations Of the women, to whom
the entire duty of measuring tho corn, deliv-
ering it to the buyers, receiving the price and
paying it over to the sellers Is confded. These
women are, more expressively than elegantly,
termed sleveuses de culs do poches,n poche
Simplifying in the dialect of La Beauce the
sack In which the grain Is brought TO mar
ket. These women form an organized cor
poration which has existed for several GEN.
turtles They enjoy a reputation for tho
strictest integrity, which Is, indeed, sufi-
GENTLY attested by the fact that the whole
transactions of the market, as above stated,
arc entrusted to them.
Nor are they under any surveillance what
soever. The buyer and seller alike put ex-
plicit confidence in them. The latter. when
he has pitched his corn, leaves 1t entirely in
their hands, goes about his business or pleas
ure in the town and returns in the evening
to receive the amount of the sale, without
making any inquiries or taking any further
trouble about it. The amount of confidence
placed in tho honesty of these women and the
Importance OF tho charge confded to them
may be estimated from the fact that 10000
quintals Of corn Is by no means an unusual
quantity to change hands In one market day
at Chartres, tho whole OF which is invariably
disposed OF for ready mdsey on the spot.

land or America.-Mrs. Frank Leslie.

salvation OF Engll.h Society.

There is reason to believe that the rich
Englishmnn finds for his children in the great
public schools the best antidote for the ener-
waiting influences OF wealth. II may DO a
schoolmaster's view, but have firm con-
viction that these schools have long been,
and are, tho real salvation of the upper
classes Of English society. Here boy drops
rank, wealth, luxury, and for eight or ten
years, and for the greater part of each OF
these years, lives among his equals In an at
mosphere Of steady discipline, which usually
compels simple and hardy life, and In a
community where tho prizes and applause
are divided about equally between mental
energy and physical vigor. Here respect and
obedience become habitual to him; he learns
TO regard the rights Of others and to defend
his own, to stand upon his feet in tho most
democratic Of all societies. boy republic.
Above all, he escapes the mental and moral
suffocation from which it is well nigh impos-
siblo TO guard boys In rich and luxurious
homes. George r. Parkin in The Century.

STOPPING RUNAWAY HORSES.
A Young Policeman Tells How It Il Done
Most Effectively.

A Boston correspondent tells how young
policeman, Charles Maynes, stops runaway
horse; "When you see a runaway coming,
do not try to check him by rush from the
opposite direction or the side, for you will be
Immediately knocked fat by the collision,
but instead prepare yourself for short run
with the horse. Measure with your eye the
distance, and start for the run while he is
yet some way off, perhaps ten feet in the
case of fair to medium runaways. You may
depend upon his keeping q straight line, for
a really frightened horse is half blind and
would not veer for steam engine He will
go straight ahead until he smashes into some
thing.
Sodo you get close to the line ON which he
is rushing and, as he passes you, grab the
reins near tho saddle. Gather the reins
firmly, and then, leaning backward as you
run, give them powerful yank. You may
DO able to brace yourself somewhat as you
give this yank, half sliding on your feet. The
strong jerk on the bit tells the horse that he
again has master, and prepares him for the
final struggle. A step or two forward after
tho first yank, do it again. This Is the
finishing stroke. 1t never fails when given
by determined man. The horse is ON its
launches. Keep ilrm pull on tho reins till
you grasp the horse by the nostrils, and hold
him so till he is pacifledn
In stopping span Of horses Maynes tries
to get ON the side of the wilder one, as, il
pulled to its senses, the other one can be
managed. Tho task Is easier IL the horse has
curb bit. A runaway may also be stopped
by the driver in tho same manner. ''If you
pull steadily with all your strength ON a
curb bit,n says Maynes, ''the effect on the
horses jaw is just what it is il you tie cord
tightly about your finger. The blood doesn't
flow, and the finger becomes numb. After O
firm pull has been maintained on the horses
mouth for while it ceases to have any Of
feet. You cannot then force him out Of a
run IL he is frightened. But give him his
head a little till the mouth RECEIVERS from its
numbness, lash him with the whip il you
have free road, and then give sudden
yank. He will come down. II the first
yank isn't enough, give him one more,

wholesale merchants in some Of tho east
