are unequal in size, British Columbia

only 2,133 square miles. Quebec has
l93,3 800 square miles, Ontario has 107, $50,
Nova Scotia 81, 731, New Brunswick e.

Tho nn1boards, Decline.

Theatrical managers have lately been
discussing the question of the most
profitable name of advertising their
shows. A few years ago the billboard
was the only recognized Method of COM
munication between the manager and
his patrons. Spaces upon every fence
and corner were eagerly bought up by
the enterprising advance agent; saloon
windows were utilized to hold the litho-
graphs, and q free pass accompanied
each picture displayed. What was the
result? After the agent had gone his
rounds and papered the town the ticket
scalper also began his pilgrimage. He
bought up the free passes at a small cost
and sold them afterward at a good profit
to himself and filed the house at a direct
loss to the original management. The
scheme was a complete failure.
Later another plan was adopted and
with similar results. Season tickets, adj
hitting tho holder to -four performances
a month U not transferable, were
issued, and on each performance the
door keeper was obliged TO punch out
n of the dates. as in n railroad ticket.
The result was that the holders of these
passes held off until they had accumu-
lated a dozen or so of admissions to their
credit, and then swooped down upon the
theatre in their might and owned the
house. In Buffalo last season one man
ager was forced to give away LOO free
admissions in n week, and only saved
himself from ruin by getting the differ
ences in the prices of those of his pa
irons who wished to obtain better seats
than their passes admitted them to.
1t Is generally conceded among adj
vanced theatrical managers that the
newspaper is at once the cheapest and
the best way of reaching tho great
theatre going public. Such is the condi-
ton of Philadelphia at present that upon
the principal streets there are no places
for the billboard and the Autograph.
They must be exiled to the suburbs,
where the theatrical patron never ven
lures, and the small boy who cannot
read unites with the equally illiterate
goat for their speedy destruction. An
afternoons shower will erase tho work
of days, batter down the signs, blur the
%colors, and generally destroy the most
ambitious bill posted. The newspaper
Is, in truth, the only reliable means of
theatrical as it is of other advertisement.
1t is cheaper, further reaching and APP
peals TO a better clientele, and tho con-
slant increase in the space occupied by
thet theatre advertisements in the leading
papers shows that this facti is understood.

Imagine n city with most of its streets
narrow, muddy and crowded, where the
seller of lottery tickets takes the place of
the n~ewsboy, where the PAYERS of the
street, the conductors of tho cars, the
CLERKS In tho stores, the policemen on
their beats, the soldier with his musket,
the barefooted men and women who
peddle their wares and the very beggars
at the doorways all smoke cigarettes or
cigars. The street cars carry the cof-
lined dead to the cemetery, with the
mourners in the cars that follow. Men,
women and children, half naked and
without shoes, bear the burdens that we
put upon drays and wagons; water car
riers peddle the limpid fluid from the
~a9ueducts from house to house. Every
other woman has n baby dangling con
tentedly from o sack upon her back.
imagine the picture and you get a
glimpse of tho street scenes that you
look upon about the great plaza, facing
the costly palace and the magnificent
cathedral of tho City of Mexico.-City

He who would make progress for him
self, or who would help others Upward
must have clearly before his mind the
ideal of the best conceivable attainment.
But while n man must perceive that ideal
for himself, 1t is not always wise for him
TO disclose it TO others. If he would be
to others n means of inspiration or of in
~struction all his words and acts must
point in the direction of his ideal; but
they are not necessarily to point it out
in its explicitness. When Moses would
reform the Hebrew view of the marriage
relation he made regulations in the di-
rection of the ideal standard of marriage
in its pristine purity; but because of the
hardness of the peoples hearts, through
their wrong education up to that
time, he refrained from exacting of them
all that would have been their duty had
they been capable of perceiving it as
such. So, again, Jesus withheld some
truths from his disciples which they
were not yet able to bear, while all that
he said to them was in the direction of
the greatest truths known TO himself.
And so IL must be with every wise
teacher and leader. 10 needs to have
his highest ideal ever before himself; but
1t may not be expedient to bring its daz-
cling brilliancy Immediately before the
dull eyes of those whose gaze upward
he Is lovingly directing.-Sunday School
Times.

A Story OF Bismarck.

The second volume of the memoirs of
the Duke of Gotha, which has made such
o stir in the social ard political world OF
Germany, contains another anecdote of
Bismarck-the latest accession to the
ranks of doctors of divinity. When
secretary. of the Prussian legation
at Frankfort, he was asked by a
lady why he objected to the ap-
pointment of Count Thun to the
position of ambassador. He replied that
it was lot n fit place for n man of his
extraordinary talents, there being SO
little to do. Then" continued the lady,
why do you retain your officer "Ohi
madam, it is another thing with me. I
have always been a lazy, good for moth
my gun. Here i can hunt as well as on
my farm and enjoy my Fiesta" The
years have changed Bismarck and his
ideas.-San Francisco Argonaut. .i1o0

S. r. Roger and his brother left their
homes near Hastings, Mich, about four
years ago and went to breckenridge,
Colo, where they worked In n stamp
mill. They got possession of two claims,
the Iron Mask" and the "Kewanee,' and
worked them during spare hours, putting
considerable time and money into them.
The Claims had been worked previously
for six years by an old miner, who failed
to find paying ore. Roger recently put a
man in the lower one, and went to work
himself. In less than half an hour, after
digging about two feet, he struck gold
and silver bearing carbonate of silver,
said to be the most valuable and easily
worked deposit in that state. The vein
was followed to the surface, when it was
found that all the previous years work
had been within eighteen inches of the
vein. Tho Roger brothers have been
Offered 500, 900 for the two mines, but
want 5000, 200. Within a week after
this find 5000 men were on the spot
establishing claims, but tho Rogers had
secured many of the most desirable. The
mine is on the east side of the mountain,
and the snow necessitates keeping it
rooted over.-Chicago Tribune.

Tho Majors Whisky Shot.

Some interesting things are remem-
bered by Sherman's Atlanta campaipn
veterans in connection with Lieut..
Bundy, commanding a battery of artil-
lery, now known as Maj. Bundy, and
one of tho editorial writers on Deacon
Shepard's New York Mail and Express.
Lieut.. Bundy had q tooth for a good
toddy, and ono morning ut Kennesaw
Mountain had sampled some Diamond
B" commissary with some other officers,
and reached his battery in excellent
spirits. Soon Col. Geary rode that way,
and, observing the lieutenant, grufily ad-
dressed him thus:
"Lieut. Bundy, you are drunk"
Bundy answered back, Is quick as a
flash:
mCol. Geary, you are a id liari"
Here was a situation. Geary was
about to put Bundy under arrest, saying
to him: You are so drunk you don't
know that gun from q hollow log"
Il don't, eh? I'll show you whether 1
do or not. See that bunch of rebs over
thereg' pointing to a group of Confeder-
ate officers taking an observation from
an eminence half a milo away. "Just
watch me scatter EN-"
Selling the tail of a gun, he jerked 1t

thing to his liking, gave the order to fire,

midst of the group of Confederates, who
hastily, retired to cover, carrying with
them their wounded.
Col. Geary withdrew his offensive re-
marks, ,complimented Bundy on his skill
and rode away.

and could land a shell about where he
