Where Nickel Comes From.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
In the Cooper Cliff Mine near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said, more nickel
is being produced than the entire
market of the world calls for at cur
rent prices. A little branch railway
off the main line of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, four miles in length,
leads out to the mine, which opens
into the face of a crag of tNlObrown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, character
stics of this region. The miners are
now at work at depth of about 300
feet below the surface. AS fast as the
nickel and copper-bearing rock is
hoisted out it is broken up and piled
upon long beds or ricks ofpine wood,
to be calcined, or roatsed, for the pnr-
pase OF driving out the sulphur which
it contains. The roasting process is
of the nature of lime kilning or char
coal burning. Each great bed of ore
requires from one to two months to
roast. When roasted, the rock goes
to the principal smelter, Il powerful
blast furnace, '.jacketed"-in mining
phrase-with running water, to ena-
BILE it to sustain the great heat requi-
site to reduce the crude, obdurate
mineral to fuidity.
The dross of the molten mass is
first allowed to flow off, and after
ward the nearly pure nickle and cop
per, blended together in an alloy
called the "mat," or matte, is drawn
off at the base ofthe furnace vat into
the barrow-pots, and wheeled away,
still liquid and fiery hot, to cool in
the yard of the smelter. The mat
contains about 20 per cent. ofnickel,
the remainder 80 per cent being
mainly copper. When cold, the con-
zeal pot-loaves of mat can easily be
cracked in pieces by means of heavy
hamers. Tho fragments are then
packed in barrels and shipped to
Swansea, in Wales, and to Germany,
where the two constituent metals
are separated and refiLed by secret
processes which are very jealousy
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that
no one in America has yet been able
to learn the process, although one
young mettallurgist spent three
years in Swansea working MS a com.
] non laborer in the factories in order
10 procure it. At present there are
produced daily at the Copper Cliff
Mine about ninety pot-loaves ofmat,
each weighing near $50 pounds, an
output whinG yields an aggregate of
more than 1000 tons of nickle a
year.

"Tipping."

Humility is one of the marked char
acteristics of British serving people.
Nothing is more amazing to the
American than the hauteur and AFRO
gance of a typical London man, or
gentleman, since the distinction is
very sharp in the English metropolis.

He says, "Please do this" and
"lll thank you for that" because
it's the iargon of the town; but his
politeness is put forth with such an
indescribably arrogant air that it is
scarcely less offensive than a slap in
the face. 1t is accepted everywhere
with the inevitable THANK you, sir"
The old story is still told of the
Yankee who stood on the stern ofthe
steamer as she swung out OF Liver
pool, and, holding shilling aloft,
cried out:
If there's man, woman or child
on this blessed island I've not tipped,
come forward now, for this is your

A Practical Patriot.

The sleeping car porter of America
is national emblem. He will live
here, but when he attempts to cut a
wide swath abroad he is a failure.
1t is said that one of the guild once
thought Europe would be a fine field
for an attentive and experienced ser
Yant like himself. He went to France,
Russia, Germany, England and Italy,
but he found none of the libera1ity
of the traveller who rode with him in
America. After going all over the
countries named he at last brought
up at Genoa. He looked about the
town and in his walk came upon the
hall of the town council. He entered
the ante-room and while standing
there caught sight of bust at one
end of the apartment. He went
over and stood in front of it. Then
he got on his knees and, removing
his hat, raised his eyes to the bust
and said:
~ thank you for discovering
America" 1t was the bust ofCol-
umbus.-From the Kansas City Jour-
nal.

Everything in the country OF the River
Chat In Central Asia is described by Ca
oriel Bouvalot as covered with salt. 1t
Is seen In the walls of the houses and on
the banks OF the rivers, and the water
ono drinks is very salt. Travelling salt
peter makers go in summer from place
to place wherever they can find material
to work upon. Their mode of operation
is rough-and-ready one. Holes in the
earth serve as watts and boilers, and be-
low these are placed ovens. Abundance
OF brushwood supplies material for the
fires. The workers collect from the sur
face OF the earth heaps Of compost OF
salt and animal manure. This is soaked
for twenty-four hours in water, then FL
tered, and then boiled for twenty-four
hours, cleansed and placed in the sun, so
that the water may evaporate. An ordi-
nary workman can make about fifty
pounds in day, and this he sells at the
rate OF one penny pound.-Popular

If an eight hour law is enacted, its
indifference, not its advantage, falls on
him. The milking hour and the harvest
will not be postponed in obedience to any
legislature. So far as it makes the days
labor brief, so certainly it extends his
own labor from twelve hours to four
teen. Notice, too, how every tax sys-
tenn now uppermost puts the heavy end
OF Its incidence on the farmer. In the
state, county and township allotment Of
fiscal burdens, the tax is direct. 1t falls
upon what can be seen and discove1ed
with greatest weight. But 1t never fails
to discover the farmer. His broad
acres cannot be hidden or sworn away,
while his neighbor, rich in personal
holdings, can cunningly suspend his own
tax by evasion-and sometimes by an
artful change or confusion Of residence
so as too add his tax, too, to the tax of
the bedridden farmer. But worse than
all this is his relation to the national
tax system, which exploits away his
hard-earded profits, small In percentage,
almost invisibly, and then adds abuse to
injury by successfully persuading him
that it exists for his supreme advantage.

a Joke that Ended in Death.

Entertaining are come anecdotes
told of Gonella, jester to Borso
Duke of Ferrara, in the fifteenth cen
fury. AS Gonella was on his way to
mass three blind beggars implored
aims of him. Here is n form for
you" He gave nothing and passed
on. The beggars invoked blessings
on him, each supposing that one Of
his fellows was in possession of the
coin. When they wished to divide
the gift not one OF them would allow
that he held it, and they mutually
accused each other of cheating, and
from words proceeded to blows. Go.
nella watched the fray with great
complacency, and when the beggars
were all bruised and bleeding he went
to church with n clear and calm con-
science. The Duke of Ferrara fell i'll,
and the doctors declared that only a
sudden fright would restore him to
health. He was too great man for
anyone to play tricks on except his
fool. Gonella was with him in a boat,
and cleverly pushed the Duke into
the water. Aid had been previously
provided, and the Prince was drawn
ashore and put to bed The fright
and the bath and the bed cured the
invalid, but he was so enraged with
Gonella that he exiled the man who
was both a fool and a physician.
Gonella returned in cart filled with
Padunn soil; an evasion of the edict
of Punishment said to have been
practiced by many jester. The
Duke ordered him to be beheaded.
but saying privately that he would
only repay fright with fright he di-
rected the eXecutioner not to use the
axe, but to let fall single drop OF
water on the culprit's neck. Gonela
was led to the scaffold; all the usual
gloomy preparations were made. He
was blindfolded and made to lay his
head on block. The executioner,
from vial, let fall drop of water
on Gonella's neck. Then amid shouts
and laughter the jester, silent now,
was hidden to rise and thank the
Duke for his clemency But Gonella
never moved; he was dead-killed by
his masters jest.-From the Cornhill
Magazine.

now seems that any statement to
the effect that the number of our
Indian population is slowly decreas-
ing is not in accord with the truth.
The lnGian is not dying off and van
ishing from the earth any more than
the Caucasian is. They have, for the
most part, adopted semi-civilized
habits and quiet lives. They are in
creasing rather than decreasing. In
the quiet, orderly communities ofthe
Indian Territory, in the reservation
of Dakota and in the pueblos of New
Mexico and Arizona, the Indian is
encamped peacefully. and his children
are being educated. He is fairly
prosperous, provided the Indian
agents and the contractor do not
try to starve him, and he is raising
his family and increasing in the land.

What can we say Of prejudices against
the stage, billiards and cards? We can
truly assert that evil is not by any means
necessarially attached to them, but at the
same time we must in honesty admit that
great deal Of harm has been wrought by
them. They may be made splendid
methods Of recreation and they may be
made very potent instruments of degra-
ton. How these are used will in a great
measure reflect the taste of the age or of
the indivual, and we may admit that
their use ought to be strictly regulated
so that they cannot be abused. But it
seems to SAVIOR little of cant to talk of
the stage being great means Of instruc-
ton. In our day there are abundant OPP
portunities OF instructions; let us keep
the theatre for amusement and honestly
confess that we like being amused.
Amusement may not instruct, but II need
not degrade nor reflect degraded taste,
as it sometimes does.-All the Year
