Why the BARRIER Mas silent.

A distinctive feature of one of the lux
urious barber shops in the dry goods
district is razor wielder who can out
talk the traditional talkative barber.
His tongue is seldom idle when he is vt
work, and We're it not for the fact that
he is barber of uncommon skill and
neatness he would have been banished
from the shop long ago. As it is, most
of the customers put up with his chatter
good naturally, and some of them en-
courage him to talk out Of pure mischief.
One day last week an overworked and
weary "head of a department" in large
dry goods house hurried into this par
ticular shop for a quick shave. An in
voluntary shudder shook his frame when
he saw that the only vacant chair be-
longed to the talkative barber.
He nerved himself for the ordeal and
was greatly surprised when the barber
said nothing to him as he took his seat.
His astonishment increased when he
found that the usually loquacious artist
was actually shaving him without say
ing word. The job was done quickly
and neatly, and when the barber had
finished the customer jumped up and ex-
claimed enthusiastically: by Jove, that
is the most restful shave l ever had.
Here's quarter for you. You seem to
have turned over new leaf"
The knight of the razor shook his head
gloomily and muttered: Cant talk.

Peculiar Plant Lice.

Livingstone tells of a species Of aphis,
or plant louise. which inhabits the fig
trees of Africa, which constantly distil
water until it forms in great puddles on
the ground underneath. There seems to
be some contention among naturalists
as to whether this insect distils its wa.
ter from the sap Of the plant which 1t
infests or the atmosphere. Livingstone
found some of them at work on a castor
bean plant and set about making an ex-
pertinent. When first surprised at their
work, distillation was going ON at the
rate of one drop every 81 seconds, or
about 81 tablespoonfuls every "a hours.
He destroyed the bark of the plant be-
low them, and although 1t is known that
sap must come from the earth they were
actually distilling a drop every five sec
onds, the flow being 10 times greater
Ran it was the day before. He then CIR
dled the plant so deeply that it dried and
broke off. Still the little colony Of insect
wonder kept at work, regularly distill-
ing one drop every five seconds, while
another colony on green twig only
managed to distil a drop every II Sec
onds.-St. Louis Republic.

Forming Squares.

1t is remarkable that recent tactics in
the Soudan, when we formed squares to
resist the rush of our fanatical oppo-
nents, are simply copy of those which
Napoleon was compelled to adoptin that
part of the world nearly century ago.
The Mamelukes, who were his most dan
gerous antagonists, were better trained
and better mounted than any cavalry he
had to bring against them, and. more
over, greatly outnunbered the French
squadrons. He was obliged, therefore,
to rely entirely on his artillery and in
fantry, and these were formed into
squares, with the guns at the angles, just
as our troops We're drawn up to stem the
rushes at Ell Teb and lanai
At Ulundi our formation was the same,
and, like us on that occasion, we read
that Napoleon placed his baggage and
cavalry in the center of the square, and
when the foe was beaten launched the
horsemen to the pursuit just as we loose
our squadrons on the Zulus. -Saturday

Queen viO.s Unfortunate Poem.

The first number Of the new weekly,
The Magazine Journal, containing a
humorous poem attributed to her maj.
esty before her marriage, has suddenly
been withdrawn from circulation. Upon
inquiry it appears that high govern.
ment official called upon the editor, Mr..
Stuart Robertson, and that gentleman,
in company with the subeditor, attended
later on.
Mr.. Stuart Robertson is naturally
somewhat retieent as to what took place
,at the interview. but he states that he
was most courteously received and that
sas an intimation was conveyed to him
that the publication of the lines would
be distasteful to the highest quarters he
unhesitatingly withdrew the number
from circulation. The poem in question
is simply skit on the peculiarities Of
the ministers of the day.-Irish Times.

that body should meet. the Necessity ex-

indeed, he intends to convert the extra

REFERRING to the communication oil

on Friday-we wish to say that it was
not our intention or desire to do Mr..
Bachelor an injustice by the publica-
ton. that we deplored the necessity that
was forced upon the newspaper of hav-
ing to make the publication. and that in
the performance of this unpleasant duty
we refrained from any comments except
those that were friendly to Mr.. Batchel-
or, and instead of attempting to say that
Mr.. Bachelor had done certain things
confined ourselves to a relation of what
he was charged with doing. useing and
quoting the language of the complaint.
In all the turmoil of accusation
and criminatton hat followed the clos
ing of the Stock Growers bank of this
city. this paper has never printed a line
that could De construed as an accusa-
ton, expressed or implied. against the
honesty If the manager of that bank.
We did rot believe. nor do we believe
now.t that the affairs of the bank were
other than honestly administered. and
as a bank had no reason for an exis-
tence. we believe its business transac-
fions were honest, and its patrons ex.
posed to no greater danger than that at
tending an institution that was finan-
cially weak. Mr.. Middleton's explana-
ton of the transactions on which the
complaints is based will il sustained. free

and SO w believe will be the result,
when a rigid investigation is applied to
all transactions of the bank that appear

High Grade Ore.

Three and one-half tons of ore
from the Buffalo mine, owned BY
Chas. Cooper and Frank Cooper, Jr.,
were crushed in the Blaine mill last
Friday and yielded over 500 per
ton, running higher than the esti-
mate of the owners. The Buffalo
Ledge is over three feet wide and all
carries gold, with from three to eight
inches of this high grade ore. The
great drawback in working it is in
asserting the higher grade ore, the
rich vein not continuing to follow
down on one wall, and besides the
character of the rich rock changes
and too much time has to be put in
with hand mortar in order to keep
track of the kigh grade rock. The
entire vein would hardly pay with
the long distance the ore has to be
hauled, and much of this distance up
hill, and then paying the cost of mill
ing. If the owners had a mill of
their own near the mine they could
make the entire ledge pay, and pay
well. The Buffalo is an exception
ally good gold mine, with finely de-
fined walls, and has long pay chute
Considerable prospecting has been
done along the vein, and neither end
of the chute has been reached, Nine
hundred feet east of their east in
cline good pay ore has been struck,
and it is probable that the ground
between, which has not yet been
prospected, is also good. The own
ers will continue work all winter. A
yulch runs between their east incline
and the pay streak 900 ieet east, af-
furding 6rst-class opportunity fol
drifting into either hill, and drifting
on the vein.
