From charmed bays and fairy shores.

The total value OF mineral products
Of this country In 1887 was ofiicially
reported at t542. 66O. 5S5. From the
above statement 1t is seen that there Is
an apparent increase Of sly, $50, 4O7
over 1857. But this does not represent
the actual increase, for there is long
list Of minor mineral products In the
1887 report which are not included In
the preliminary statement for 1883.
The exhibit for last year shows con-
siderable nuctuation. In domestic
iron for instance, there was an increase
of760, 900 tons in quantity, but ! de-
crease Of n, 956. 900 il value. In pie
iron there was an increase Of 1880
tons In quantity, but owing to low
prices the value Of the output was e16.

The figures giving the worlds min.

dressing the assembled group. They
pressed forward and beheld the lion
enveloped in rope with q moose about
its neck-struggling and choking and
madly striving to disentangle its bonds,
but only making matters worse-the
rope was actually tied to stout beam
above the lions head. At sight of the
company the animal covered in sullen
anger. Then while preparations went
forward Fitton explained to those who
stood by how he had silently crept out
and assembled to the roof-rafters by
means of the wall ladder to place
where he had, only two days before,
coiled quantity OF rope; that he had
formed a moose of the strongest and
successfully dangled it over the sleep
ing animals nose, and each time 1t
moved its head to be free from the
tickling sensation he had contrived to
get the moose with its running slip-knot

paw and its head were tightly secured
by one rope, while another long rope
impeded its freedom. having got twisted
around its body during the struggles Of

quietly sitting on the man-hole while
the preparations progressed, and Jenny
watching from behind him.

to haul the animal into the small cage
that had been brought on the handcart,
still the thing was done; and when the
show opened that morning at ten
