The De1nand for Mines.

We believe, says the Eureke Sen
 ti''eI, there is going to be a good de-
 mand for good silver mines in the
 near future. We have advices from
 New York and Boston which seem
 to point strongly that way. Eastern
 capitalists are tired of real estate and real estate booms. They are also tired of loaning on farm mortgages. Millions of New En- gland money has been invested in Kansas and other agriculteral States on real estate securities. On most of this money not dollar of interest has been paid in three years. The Chicago grain market and the New York cotton and railroad exchanges are considered too risky by the general run of conservative invest ors. What other field, then, is left except mining? With prudence, mining may be as safely followed as any other line of business. It is the most fascinating pursuit in the world. It awakens hopes and possibilities not realized in any other industry under the sun. It is the most independent occupation on earth. A man with a good min3 never has to drum for business. It is he who is drummed by the trades people for his business. Person. ally we would rather have a good ---i---4 : a-'@vvN1fr-vrrv . fhGOn. 4 mIne IS q cIean-cut proposition that yields up the hard cash, without troul lo with book accounts, time notes and slow collections. It is the business ter ani above all others, that stimulates all other branches. The great wonder Is that more men of ample means do net occupy them selves in this highest type of industry.

The Shermanites of Alabama.

In Leeds valley. in the vicinity of
 Birmingham, Ala, there is a colony
 composed of a religious sect known as
 the Shermanites. There are about one
 hundred families, and happier. more
 contented people can not be found in
 the world. Their religious rites and ceremonies are peculiar Who founded the society none of them seem to know.
 but 1t is old, as the fathers and grand fathers of the present generation were Shermanites. They claim to follow the teachings of the New Testament in spirit and letter. and they believe that only Shermanites will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. They have churches and preachers and worship in manner similar to many other sects. One of their peculiar rites is the washing of feet. A foot washino service is held once every month. at which the preacher washes the feet of every member of the church. The members then in turn wash the feet o1 the preacher and of each other They are industrious and scrupuIons,v honest. Divorce and drunkenness are unknown among them. The men never cut their hair or boards. Gin Annal Commercial-Gazette.

Ancient Iron and Steel.

The oldest pieces of wrought iron
 now known are probably the sickle
 blade found by Belzoni under the base
 or sphinx in Karnac. near Thebes; Ihe blade found by Colonel Vyse inn
 oedded in the masonry of the great pyramid, and the portion of cross cut saw eXhumed at Nimrod by Mr. Layard-al of which are now in the british Museum. A wrought bar of Damascus steel was presented by King Porus to Alexander the Great, and the razor steel of China for many cent urles surpassed all European steel in temper and durability of edge. The Hlndoos appear to have made wrought Iron directly from the ore, without passing it tn "ough the furnace, from time immemorial, and elaborateIy- masses are still found in India which date from the early cent tries of the Christian era

 tinued as il asserting wluu au ago ot i progress, the city of London is ver-

 banished from Arcadia.
 To begin with the city churches, to
 which just now more intelligent at

 enjoyed ever since the city ceased to be a place of residence, there are ser

 occasions for the origin of many of
 which we must go back long way in
 our history; and there are customs practiced in connection with them of which in many cases the origin is abso- lutely unknown.

Money was also provided for a dinner in the evening, at which the vicar, clergy, church-wardens and common councilmen of the precinct attended, but we believe this portion has been diverted.

RUSSIA'S OPPORTUNITY.
England's Wheat Fields Washed Ont nv
Disastrous Rains.

LONDON, July 22.-England has lust
experienced the heaviest rainfall known
IN any one week since 1878, and the
whole six weeks record is the worst
since 1913. The result has been disas-
trous to farmers. At Shepperton, some
twenty miles up the river, in hundred
acres of meadow the cooked hay is
iour-iifths under water The Thames
Is a swollen and muddy food, and all the
iow-lylng stretches of land in the valley
are swamped. Some grass counties.
like Cheshire, already report that prac-
sIcally the whole hay crop is DESTROYED.
I've blight, hot days in the middle of
the week revived hope that the wheat
might after all be saved in something
not too Tar below the average crop. but
everybody admits now that il is likely
to be the worst yield since the unprece-
.iented disaster of 1878.
The stock Of English wheat is now all
bnt exhausted, and under the influence
81 tins and the evil prospects the grow
sng crop prices have advanced about an
other shilling per quarter during the
week. Much the same stories continue

As to the real condition of the Russian
crop much uncertainty exists. The off
clal report of the month makes a very
gloomy showing but it is suspected inBer-
I'm that this Is done to fayarablv affect

IN A TENEMENT.

Four Lives Lost and Three Persons In
jured in Fire at Cincinnati.
A Cincinnati co. dispatch of the 22d
says: At about a quarter before II
tonight a double alarm called the fire
engine to A Front Street. 1t was
a four-story brick, known as the
John Christie tenement house. The
first story was occupied by Solomon
MensR as secondhand store. All
the other floors We're occupied as tene-
ments, and while the flames were eat
ing their way to the roof there were
thirty people in the building 4 great
crowd on the outside shouted to the
police, who arrived first, and to the
tiremen, who arrived later, that the
people inside were burning up. With
great bravery the police groped
ness and began the work of rescue.
Fire ladders and lanterns were brought
into requisition and the work of rescu-
ing the burning and recovering the dead
kept apace with that of extinguishing,
or rather checking, the fire. The build
ing was practically destroyed. In the
second story were two families of ten
persons; in the fourth were two families
also numbering ten persons.
The dead, as far as can be learned at
this time, are as follows: Solomon
Menski, Eva Menski his wife; Eva
Menski their 12-year-olh daughter; Err
ran Menski, their 7-year-old SON The
injured are: Gus Hitswell, Eva Misses,
Mary kassenuer. OF the injured the
first two are likely to die, and the last
named has chances of recovery.
