Whare the Money Goes.

Very few people interested in Colorado
mines ever stop to think what becomes
of the money taken from them Who
gets the benefit of the millions taken an
nually from the rich producers of the
State? The Tin Cup Times says; 1t is
estimated that from an Investment Of
Sc, 900, 900 there has been SIT 900, 600 re-
turned to the already plethoric purses of
st. Louis capitalists. The results of the
lead and iron mines of Missouri are not
included in the above estimates. The
Granite Mountain mine in Montana re-
turns to its owners a steady income of
5000, 900 per month. The Bi-Metallic is
developed property, having begun the
reduction of ore, and will prove as lucra-
tive as the Granite Mountain mine. OF
the Colorado mines, the Kikado, of Lead
vile, has yielded $500, 900 to her st. Louis
owners. The American and Nettie, of
Ouray, the dividends are not ascertained
by the writer. The Silver Age, the Mary
Murphy, of st. Elmo, the Gold King of
Ophir, the Mickey Breen, of Ouray, and
the G. z of Tin Cup, are the promising
mines of the future. Mr.. Lewis, of Gum
nison, who is interested in the great strike
at this place, is also st. Louis man. The
fact is that back of her capital st. Louis
has trained mining intelligence, and
this makes it's presence doubly welcomed
in our City.

1t is asserted that the smallest screws
known are those used in the production
of watches. Thus, the fourth jewel
wheel screw comes very near being
visible to the naked eye, looking, when
viewed by person of ordinary gift of
evesght, like a small speck of dust
With glass it is seen to be small but
perfect screw, with threads so fine that
it would take 260 of them to wind
around the little speck of wire to the
distance of half an inch. These minute
mechanical atoms are but the forty -one
thousandth of an inch in diameter, and
less than the ten thousandth of an inch
in length A lady's thimb1e of the
ordinary size, say No. Z, would hold
100, 900 of these little but useful specks

How "A British Tourist Was Deceived by
an American Citizen.

How IA British Tourist Was Deceived by
an American Citizen.
81 just met Il very distinguished man
on Broadway" said an English tourist
lately land d to me the other day. "He
was member of some order or other.
I'm not sure whether it was French or
Italian. l think he belongs to more than
one
Ten minutes later l met this distin-
,cuished man, and his orders were neither
French nor German. He was member
of the BARRIERS Protective Association,
an east side athletic club, and dancing
coterie.
This mistake on the part of the British
tourist calls to mind the fact that one
man out of ten that are met on any of
the upper thoroughfares wears badges of
some sort or other. Most of the badges
are small and some are rich and costly
in design, and as a rule they are worn on
the left lapel of the coat where boutton-
nier usually appears.
When the reader remembers that there
are in this country over five thousand
secret societies, some large and prosper
Gus, but most of which are confined to
the town that gave them birth, and that
most of the members wear some dis
tinctive badge, this wonderful growth in
the badge wearing fad is not really 50
wonderful after ALL
Yesterday 1 met on 9th avenue a tall
man, with military air, who would
have been taken for field marshal at
least in any foreign city. Ianalyzed the
badges that covered his waiStcoat like
rounds of the Jacobs ladder" that
National GIardsmen wear. The list was
~ follows:
1Iasonic-Blue Lodge, Chapter, Coun-
Gil, Commandrry, Lodge of Perfection,
Temple of Mecca. Knights of Pythias
Order of Foresters. Ancient Order of
American Workmen. Legion of Honor.
Grand Army of the Republic Ninth reg
imnnt National Guards.
That was all, but as each order had its
badge and as eacl! badge was worn, the
waistcoat looked like the breast of the
Prince of Wales in his dress parade cos
tune.
OF course few badge wearers go to this
extreme, hut enough of them have their
special vanities to make the fad marked
one in this Zig city of fads. i New York

A Touching Discovery.

In May last the workmen who are dig
cling the foundation for the new law
courts in Rome discovered sarcophagus
buried 30 feet below the surface. I'M
mediately the telephone called to the
spot the members of the archaeological
commission, scientific and literary men,
who watch with jealous care all the eX-
cavations made in the Eternal City.
Under their direction it was carefully
raised and opened. Within lay the
skeleton of young girl, with the re-
mains of the linen i'll which she had Leen
wrapped, some brown leaves from the
myrtle wreath, with which, embematic
of her youth, she had been crowned in
DEATH On her hands were four rings,
of which one was the double bethrothal
ring of plain gold, and another with
Filetus, the name of her bethrothed,
engraved upon it. A large and most
exquisite All ethyst brooch, i'll Etruscan
setting of the finest work, carved amber
pins, and gold neclllet with white
small pendants were lying about. But
what is most strange, as being almost
unique, was doll of oak wood,
beautifully carved, the joints AZ
ticulated so that legs and arms
and hands move on sockets, the
hands and feet daintily cut with small
and delicate nails. The features and the
hair were carved out in the most minute
and careful way the hair waving low
on the forehead, and being bound with
a fillet. On the outside of the sarco-
phagus was sculptured her name, Try
phena Creperia, and touching scene,
doubtless faithfully representing her
parting with her parents. She is lying
on low bed, and striving to raise her
self on her left arm to speak to her
heart broken father, who stands leaning
on the bedstead, his head bowed with
grief, while her mother sits on the bed,
her head covered, weeping. 1t seems
but yesterday, 50 natural is the scene,
and yet it was nearly IS centuries ago
that these stricken parents laid so ten

To greet the rising day;
While oh, my heart is bowed with care,

For Laura's heart was mine.
And in my dreams see again
The bright hued Cuban skies;

And see my sweetheart's eyes.

No joy there's in its ray;
For then my golden dream is gone
And am far away.

The Influence of Telegraph on DictiOn.
Somewhere | read long ago that the
ever growing practice of telegraphing
was undermining the grammar and the
literature of America. Though l be-
lieve that the literature of America, es-
pecially of the United States, is but just
begun-barring, of course, some notable
instances in the earlier history of our
country, l can idly confess that in the
very nature of the brevity of the tele-
grams there is something which tells
against pure dcton and sound grammar.
l was in receipt only last week of letter
from a we'll known editorial writer on a
New York newspaper. The language of
telegraphy was as easily discerned as
though the epistle had been written on
a Western Union blank. "Goqrs re-
ceived," "will write again, IAN not
sure of phraseology, " Huxley mentions
same, are some of the expressions this
we'll trained writer allowed to slip from
his pen Jewish Tidings.

Man Likes to Eat.

Here is plea for epicureanism. That
subtle thinker, Guy de Maupassant, says:
"a man is a gourmet as he is a poet or
an artist, or simply learned. Taste is a
delicate organ, perfectible and worthy
of respect like the eye and the ear To
be wanting in the sense of taste is to be
deprived of an exquisite faculty-of the
faculty of discerning the quality of ali
ments just as one may be deprived Of
the faculty of discerning the qualities
of a book or of work of art; it is to
be deprived of an essential sense, of
part of human superiority; it is to be-
long to one of the innumerable classes
of cripples, infirm people, and fools of
which our race is composed; it is in a
word, to have stupid mouth, just as
we have stupid mind. A man who
does not distinguish between lam
gouste' and a lobster, between herring,
that admirable fish that carries within it
all the savors and aromas of the sea, and
mackerel or whiting, is comparable
only to man who could confound
Balzac with Eugene Sue, and a SYM
phony by Beethoven with a military
march composed by some regimental
bandmaSter
