Honesty is their motto, whereby
they make legitimate business and
small margin in smelling and re-

rule. BY this provision, the miner
cannot be defrauded. Let us COM
pare this straightforward business
style with that in vogue at sampling
works. The sampling works pay
the day Of sampling, which means
that you wait their option, and
when silver is tiuctuating, they
always manage to quote you the
lowest figures Of the week, the mar

Chicago Fire.

The most remarkable art produc
ton of modern times is said to be
the new Cyclorama of the Chicago
Fire located on Michigan Avenue,
in that enterprising city. The great
work Is reported to have cost nearly
a quarter Of a million OF dollars, and
shows in very realistic and wonder
ful manner the great fire Of 1871.
The observer IS placed in an ele
vated position on the site Of old Fort
Dearborn, immediately SOU of the
Rush St. Bridge, and from this his
toric spot views this grand and awe
inspiring scene. To the southwest
Ii s the business portion of the city,
a smouldering mass of red hot ruins,
the great north side is sea OF
flames, while along the lake shore
are two Or three streets that are
doomed, but not yet destroyed, Civ.
ing here a glimpse Of the old Chi
cago Of ante-fre days. The scene
along the lake shore in and about
the old U. S. Marine Hospital and
the Rush Street Bridge is one OF in
describable coniusion-thousands Of
helpless and homeless in a wild and
furious fight for safety. The whole
effect is sublime and awful in the
extreme.
Unusual care was taken to make
this grand work worthy of the sub
ject, and above all, to have it his
toncally correct. Professor David
Swing and other eminent authorities
pronounce the whole faithful por.
trayal Of this great historic event. l,
will remain as one OF the sights Of
the city until after the Worlds Fair.

Estimating Distances.

It constantly happens that men de-
tached from the main body Of an army
are called upon to determine for them
selves their distance from an object to
be fired at. Experience abundantly
proves that soldiers, by continued
practice, may learn to estimate dis
tancesup to 600 to 800 yards with con-
siderable accuracy by simple, rapid
observation. Every soldier is supposed
to have good eyesight; he, therefore,
after little practice in sight estimat-
ing, learns the following facts:
At thirty yards the white Of q mans
eye is plainly seen, and the eyes them
selves up to eighty yards.
At 100 yards all parts Of the body are
seen distinctly slight movements are
perceptible, and the minute details Of
the uniforms can be distinguished.
At $50 yards the brass buttons on the
blouse can still be separately distingu-
ished.
At 200 yards the outlines of the face
are confused, and the rows of brass
buttons look like yellow stripes.
At 800 yards the buttons are nos
longer visible.
At 400 yards the face isa mere dot,
but movements Of legs and arms are
distinct
At 800 yards details can no longer be
distinguished though the files Of q
squad, if the light be strong, can be
counted.
At 500 yards the men in q squad can
not always be counted, nor their in-s
dividual movements distinguished.
Att 900 yards q line Of men simply
resembles broad belt; the direction OF
their march can however be readily de-
termined.
At 1920 yards infantry can be dis
tinguished from calvarly.
At 1000 yards mounted man looks
like q mere speck or dot.

come more indulgent, and when one
by one the children grow up and leave
the family freside the parents cling
the closer to those who are left and rule

I laughed the other day at an old
man until I was tired. It was on the
train and there was a nice little apart
nent at the end of the car and water
cooler and a wash place and towel and
a sofa. There was long narrow mir
rori in the partition next to the cooler
and as was reclining on the sofa the
old gentleman came in to get some
water. The cup had been carried away
to sick lady at the other end of the
car. The old man looked around for it,
then turned the faucet and satisfied
himself that there was water there.
It was little dark in there and as
be was looking around for the cup he
thought he saw another man standing
at another cooler close by and so he ad-
dressed him very politely and said:
"Will you please lend me your cup?
The one that belongs here seems to be
gone." Not receiving any reply he
bowed to him and said in alouder tone:
~ say, my friend, will you let me have
your cup moment?' Just then I dis
covered that he was talking to his own
shadow, and rose forward laughing
