Honesty is not possession of any par
tiCuar class Ut society. The poor man and
the rich man is classified alike as good,
bad indifferent. When Mrs. O'Shaunesy
gives breakdown party no dete ,tives are
necessary for the protection OF her proper

haven't enough combined TO tempt the Gu
pidity Of even low.down thief. But
when Vanderbilt. an Astor or Goelet
gives ball or reception the presence of
half dozen OF PinkertOn's best in dress
suits is as much required provision of the
occasion as the corps Of walters or the mu-
sicians. Diamonds and bric.a-b -bac are rare
enough piunder. and there are said to be
persons of ''eminent respectability,
judged from their social standing, who
make away with these things ON every pos
sible opportunity. It is enough TO make a
society leader shudder to think that the

are sent may, and probably does, contain
the names of kleptomaniacs who will

The palsy Mine.

Thursday afternoon, says the Colville
Miner, the owners of the Daisy mine.
Messrs. Harry G. Bell. Pat d. Kearney
and Henry T. Msllon, came back from
their visit to the mine and depart in the
morning for Spokane Falls.
In conversation with reporter MIR.
Bell said it would require about thirty
days time TO complete the present con.
tract. when new force of larger mum.
bers will be put on and the work pusned
with all possible haste. They wish to
finish the tunnel and commence throwing
out ore as quickly as possible 90 that they,
with the Eagle and Old Dominion. can
furnish q sufficient quantity of ore 10
supply the smelter continuously.
These men are confident that this Daisy
mine contains very large quantity of ore
and can he worked without great difficulty
and with little expense and this makes
them anxious to roll out their treasure
and realize the anticipations of the pres-
ent and past. We heartily wish them sue
cess and impatiently await the result, al
most assured that their mine will prove
"a Daisy" both by name and realization.

Food For Reflection.

There is food for reflection in o couple ol
advertisements which appear side by side
in contemporary, which read. with the
omission of address, as follows:

It will be observed that the rate OF COM

in addition her board and lodging.

The Echo.

An echo is simply sound reflected by
an opposing surface, and repeated thereby
to the ear. Any substance that interferes
with the passage of the air wave OF sound
reflects or throws it back in q greater or
less degree, and II this reflected sound
reaches the observer 20 long after the
original sound as to produce IN itself
separate and distinct noise 1t is called
an echo. 1t is produced by.a wall: a
steep cliff, hill side, or any interferin
object. II the distance of the wall be
known, the time elapsing between the
sound and i's echo can be readily ascer.
tained. II the rejecting surface consists
of two or moie walls placed at an angle,
or q series OF mountain ridges. the effects
produced are sometimes very curious. In.
stances where the sound is repeated over
and over again, sometimes twenty times
or more. are not unknown. Much
more remarkable than these are
harmonic echoes, or those that
repeat the sound in different
key. There is said to be an echo in Fair
fax county. Virginia, which returns the
notes of u flute With perfect distinctness
fifth. or an octave. the effects varying with
the state of the atmosphere. 4 The echoes
of the shepherds horn in TIE Alps are
described as dying away In sNcceesiH r..
Elections, each softer and more h& NE
than the one preceding it. D<. Bf4ter,
in his work on Sound and its Ren'
omena," gives the following instaDke
Near Coblentz an echo is found that
makes seventeen repetitions at unequal
intervals, some low, some soft, some to
the right, others to the left of the observer;
some in unison with the direct sound,
others third. fifth or tenth Of the funda-
mental. At the lake of Killarney is an
echo that renders an excellent second to
any simple air played on the buRle. Some
distance from Glasgow there was formerly
remarkable case in which eight
or ten notes of trumpet
were repeated third lower, and again u
second and third time, each time lower
STILL The study of the laws of echoes
forms an interesting branch of acoustics,
but is too difficult for explanation in lin
tied space. The ancients personsied the
| echo as mountain nymph. She
is said to have been desperately
in love with Narcissus, son of tine
river god, and to have followed him
through the forests, and in the chase ever
repeating his name. Bot he seemed her
devotion, and in despair she p,ned away
until her bones were changed into rocks

Bismarck's Superstition

That was curious statement in the
Contemporary Reviews bitter attack on
Bismarck concerning his belief that he

not die before 1890, and will not be living
after 1894. IL throws a strange sidelight
on the character of the great man, who 10

pect of his nature Is matter OF comment
in certain circles in Germany. IL il re-
lated, for instance, that lady who was
invited TO birthday party OF Bismarck

that the iron man who controls the desti.

UNION OR ExTRADITION.

Evils OF the Canadian Refuge for Crimi-
nsls.
Ceaselessly, says the Tacoma Globe, the
telegraph brings information that levant-
ing bank cashiers and the like are skip
ping to Canada with other peoples money,
and the fact that defaulter can slide
over the line and go scot free. seems. some.
embezzlers and tortfeasers can live In
Canada on their ill.Rotten gains, 10 q con-
tinual scaudal in which there 10 more
shame TO the United States than TO Great
Britain.
An effort was made three or four years
ago TO secure such an amend ment 10 the
Ashburton treaty Of 1S42, between this
government and that of Great Britain Us
would permit the extradition Of persons
accused Of such violations OF fiscal trusts
as would render them .anenable to the
laws Of their own countries. This, it 10
evident, would be necessary, as q pri mary
procedure in the matter Of bringing such
fugitives 10 justice, because the treaty
mentioned did not include, among tho Of
fenses enumerated. those OF the character
suggested. The United States let the oc.
casion pass, and Canada continues TO be
the haven OF that class Of rascals who
have been making free with other peoples
money, and who generally are not lacking
of voodIy quantity Of it when they cross
the Dominion line.
1he colony which is living luxuriously
on the lower st. Lawrence, and scattering
members of the fugitive fraternity who
are dwelling in safety in other parts OF
the British American possessions, are re-
cruited, for the most part from the east,
though the vest has some mis.representa.
tives among them.
1t would seem that the continual exodus
of these fugitives, which has come to b.
standing stock for the paraxrapher and
which is shamefuly notorious. would
eventually effect a reasonable extradition
treaty with Great Britain.
Criminal breaches Of trust. which we're
rare at the time of the Ashburtou treaty.
have grown enormously in number since
indeed, within the last half Of the tlo,-
and the probabilities are that they have
been encouraged by n sense OF the safety,
among the criminally inclined. superin-
ouced by the close proximity OF so eecure
u haven a. that which lies beyond our
northern border.
Governments are seldom willing to sur
render political refugees. even when it IL
notorious that they have beeh making war
upon the governments from which they
have escaped, but they are generally un.
willing that criminas, the Nervousness Of
whose offending is-fecognized in all civil
ized lands, should secure advantage by
such change OF residence as is here con.
sideied. In this lies the assurance that
1t would be An easy matter to arrange an
extradition treaty with Great Britsin
which would include the offenses men
! toned, andwhich are becoming 80 very
common. That such treaty is needed Is
palpable, and that it W ould have u de-
cidedly prohibitory effectis also very plain.
