In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
OF the world calls for at current prices.
little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length, leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of this region. The miners arenow at
work at depth of about 800 feet below
the surface. AS fast as the nickel and
topper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or
roasted, for the purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
Ing process is of the nature of lime kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast. When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smelter, powerful blast
furnace "jacketed"-in mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to sus-
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obdurate mineral to fuidity.
The dross of the molten mass Is first
allowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper. blended
together in an alloy called the mat" or
matte, is drawn off at the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in the yard Of the smelter. The mat cor
tains about 70 per cent of nickel the re-
naming so per cent. being mainly cop
per. When cold, the conicai pot loaves
of mat can easily be cracked in pieces
by means of heavy hammers The frag-
ments are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined 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 metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as
common laborer in the factories in order
to obtain it, AT present there are pro-
duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near 450 pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
1000 tons of nickel Manufac-

THE DREAD TOMORROW.

No echo Of its football fling before.
But steals adown the corridor until

The tempest sends chill breezes through the

Its harbingers; on mans disasters shock
Swoops all too suddenly.
The bark, through rapids piloted with care,
sails smooth course, forgetting dangers

But strikes the hidden reef-edge unaware

No sign forctells the near approach of sorrow
No note, no breath of warning In the air;

At Sandringham

The Rev. John Russell, q clergy
man Of Devon, was as simple in man

1874 he was invited to visit the Prince
of Wales and enjoyed his visit with
such unfeigned zest that it proved IL
genuine pleasure to his entertainers.
His honest simplicity never forso0l1
him, and it is said that in talking
with tho princess he innocently con
tradicted some remark of hers.
mo, no, my dear, said he. as he
often had said before to other women
as far removed from him in point of
years; no, no, my dear, It's not SO /"
Nc one knew whether the princess
noticed the slip, but if she did it
merely amused her. But this little
infornality must have been amply
atoned for by q frankly gallant
speech which the old clergyman
made to her on the last night of the
old year. when he had the honor of
her hand in the dance.
Now said he, as the clock struck

There is absolutely 10 protection thrown
about the matter of arranging pairs in the
house. The only rule upon the subject
says that after the first call of the day all
pairs shall be announced by the clerk The
practice is for members making the pairs
to hand the announcement of them to the
clerk, who sees they are printed in The
Record. No questions are asked, and the
members fix up the pairs to suit them
selves. Thus, when n member is absent
and is not paired, he can telegraph to n
colleague and find some member on the
other side in the same situation, when it is
arranged that The Record shall state that
these two absent members were paired.
One member who went to Europe with
out taking the precaution to get u pair was
used to protect half dozen members in
one day. 1t was also found that he was
paired with a member who never knew the
other man WAS absent from Washington

Professor Frank II. Snow, of the Kan
ago: But the fact that thousands of
new comers, from ignorance of the cli-
mate, have attempted to introduce ordi-
nary agricultural operations upon the so
called plains, and have disastrously failed
in the attempt, has placed an undeserved
stigma upon the good name of Kansas in
many far distant communities, and has
undoubtedly somewhat retarded immi-
grafton during the past few years. 1t is
time for the general recognition of the
fact that, except in exceedingly limited
area where irrigation is possible, the
western third of Kansas is beyond the
limit of successful agriculture"
The severe seasons of drought which
have occurred since the above conserva-
tive statement was written show the
whole truth of the matter to be that the
westward advancing line of settlement
is by no means an isohyetai one, but that
it is merely line representing in way
the overflow of the population of our
eastern states. 1t needs but slight
acquaintance among the old settlers
in central Kansas to know that they
fear nowadays excessively dry weather
as much as they did twenty-five years
ago. The people who live farther west
are losing faith in the idea of an in
creased rainfall, as is evidenced by the
fact that over two hundred linear miles
of main canals have lately been con-
structed for irrigation purposes nearly
as far east as Kinsley, in the Arkansas
valley of Western Kansas. In the Platte
valley, in Nebraska, large irrigating sys-

A TIN.Pi,ATE TRUTH.

There are tin-plate truths as well as tin
plate lies. An examination of the prices
of tin in Liverpool and the United States
during the period of low tariffs shows that
the English tin-plate manufacturer con-
trolled absolutely the price of his goods,
debating to the American consumer. The
price during these years was lowered or
raised in Liverpool at will, and of course
the American price had to follow. The
Mckinley law changed this. The fact that
the construction of numbers of plants for
the manufacture of tin plate was at once
commenced, and that several were put in
operation, opened the eyes of the English
manufacturer. When the Mckinley bill
passed congress Melyn grade tin was selling
in Liverpool at $5.O4 per box of 10S pounds
The duty of one cent per pound added
81. .OS to the cost in New York or Philadel-
phia, and made the total cost, exclusive of
freight, Sc 10 per box. The same tin is
now selling in Liverpool at So go per box,
and the duty at 2 2-10 cents per pound,
which amounts to $2.37 and makes the
cost in New York or Philadelphia So 81
per box. The foreign manufacturer has
been compelled by the passage of the Nc
Kinley law to reduce the price of his
product to 80 low rate that with the
higher rate of duty the price would be
lower than it was under the previous
tariff. This is what the Republicans
claimed would be the result This has al
ways been the tactics adopted by the
foreign manufacturer, as the first effort to
stop the development of any manufactur-

NOMINATIONS
RUM AND MURDER.

Among the well established theories is
that rum is responsible for most murders
By means of temperance lectures, temper
ance tracts, etc., the public has been edu-
Gated into the belief that there is a very
close and intimate relation between drink
ing and murder. And without doubt the
imflammatory inspiration of alcohol, act
ing on hot-blooded and ungoverned ma
ture, is responsible for large proportion
of the crimes of violence that come up
for adjudication in our courts. But the
census returns do not wholly bear out
this view. OF 6,37S murderers in prison
whose habits could be ascertained, 1889,
or 20 per cent. of the whole, are returned
as total abstsiners, $500 as mod
crate or occasional drinkers
and 1887 as habitual drunkards.
This is a remarkably poor showing for the
total abstainers. Nobody will pretend that
they comprise twenty per cent. of the pop
ulation, and their addiction to the crime of
murder is out of all proportion to their
numbers. And further, it is curious to
hoCo tuc PioShlOhSo Va tSloi noStlucASc
principles among murderers belonging to
the gentler sex. OF 393 women in prison
charged with homicide on the census date,
147, or more than SO per cent. of the en-
tire number, avowed themselves total alb
stainers.
This is an interesting and rather sur
prising showing, but there is no argument
for rum drinking in the fact that good
many total abstainers commit murder.
