WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE o. 1891

man, ga man in England, who kept tav-
era, made use of the slot machine. This
was tin box containing tobacco. The
frequenters of his tavern dropped half
penny in the slot and 1t struck Q lever
which opened the box. Then the pur-
chaser took out a pinch of tobacco and
put in one of the pipes lying around on
tables in the barroom. This is the first
slot machine of which any record is
known. Nowadays they sell everything
in them, especially in England, where
they are used for postage stamps. In
Washington the other day saw a slot
machine into which you dropptd two nick
els, and from which you obtained q glass
of rock-and-rye. I do not think that any
of the machines colt over $50. and If only
one cent profit is made every day, this
means 10 per cent. interest ON the invest
ment. The month our company placed q
machine in the Hoffman House, in New
York city, it took in $40. A certain dry
goods firm has recently put around a lot
of slot machines which sell lead pencils.
You drop a penny in the slot and out
comes pencil nicely sharpened and cov-
erd with the advertisement of the firm.
The latter estimate that the advertisment
pays all expenses, and so the pennies
taken in are clear profit"
The report on the state of religion and
morals in Scotland submitted to the gen.
eral assembly is interesting. Football and
cricket have done great damage 'by the
Sabbath Incidence and neglect of ordi-
nances which exhausted nature exacts from
their votaries." In one county "the per-
nicious custom of visiting friends and
places of interest on the Lords Day Is
rapidly spreading" The preponderating
sin in Morayshire is frivolous and purely.
worldly conversation on the Lords Day."
In Banffshire "the churches are losing
the best and the most enterprising of their
people, and are left with the aged, the
lame, the blind, and the idiots, who could
do nothing but remain" In Forfarshire
'private baptism" has become very COM
mon, and in many rural districts "the
entire alienation of farm servants from
divine ordinances is painful feature"
In Fife "the high wages now received by
mere lads and girls tells against the morals
and reverence of the rising generation"
and many other causes "tend to the loosen
ing of the bonds of church connection"
while the licensed grocer's shop is
denounced as "a fountain of iniquity."
The sin of 'half day hearing" on Sunday
is increasing, and ga feeling of dissatisfac-
ton prevails nearly everywhere as to
attendance at prayer meetings." Yet 'tin
respect of the spiritual life there are really
evidences of its wide extension and of its
strength and fruitfulness."

The Fascination of Mining.

Nv. w. noWdTu III
''Look here" said man whose faith
sought to test; eff 1 did not feel dead
open-and-shut sure of making my fortune
here, all in good time, do you suppose L
would stayl Ny mine is worth good
million just as it stands"
"Why don't you sell and so put an end
to this pork and beans and hot biscuit ex-
istence of yours" suggested.
Because no one would pay that price,
in the first place, and because, in the sec
lion out of it when 1 get 1t properly de-
veloped. This developing is what costs.
A friend of mine has paid forty thousand
dollars for development work, and he
hasn't reached the mineral yet. He
wouldn't sell for any money. He would
be fool if he did, for he is right on top
of the stuff Now here is where eastern
people get fooled. They suppose, when
they buy stock in a mine, that they are
going to get their money back in divi-
dends without delay. They don't under
stand this unproductive work, and 40
when the stock is used up they call the
whole thing swindle and give it up. All
mining operations are not swindles by a
long way, although they do not turn out
we'll. There are swindles in every sort of
business, and perhaps mining has had its
| share. My idea about investing in mines
| is this: Don't invest in anything, not
even real estate, unless you can keep an
eye on it to see that you get honest treat
ment."
The mining regions of Colorado are pop
ulous with such men as this. The pluck
and patient endurance which these men
show are almost beyond belief. Many of
them make colossal fortunes eventually,
and many, many do not All, those many,
and wrecked and ruined lives lie hidden
there! Surely that is a strange and grim
| fatality which takes the morning and mid
day of a mans life, and in the afternoon
leaves only the ashes of unattained ambi'
ton. The rude cabins among the inhos
pitable mountain-pesks have their woful
stories of disappointment and despair tC
those who can read their mute language
In them the hsrd-worked miner has hat
his dream of wealth and power and reuni
ted love, while in his eastern home hi
mother and friends wondered year b,
year why he did not send the money Il
pay off the mortgage on the farm, snt
why q coolness seemed to come betweer
him and that neighbor's daughter whom
he had hoped to deck with the gold of thu
western mines His eastern friends can
not understand the hsrdships and chance
of miners life, end toe often they for
get him as one who somehow lacks tn
ability to make his way in the world
Thus, unnoticed by fortune and neglectet
by those friends who should cherish hin
most, he wears out his life in a mere hol
in the ground; yet through it all, an'
even unto bitter old age. he has his dream
of friends and home and love.
