HELP FOR THE RICH UNFORTUNATE.

The daughter of a retireI millionaire
has au allowance of $1,000 year for pin
money. Out OF 1t she isexpected to pay
for her clothes aud other personal ex.
pcnses, such as gloves, candy, books and
matinee tickets. One would imagine
that she could manage to squeeze along
on her income, particularly as she had
no board to pay. But she didn't. In
fact, she found herself very heavily in
debt to her dressmaker one fine morning.
Sac struggled on for few months, keep.
ing her trouble to herself and trying to
economic. Finally crisis was reached.
Sue had "nothiny to wear" and could
not order any new dresses without pay
ing something on account. To make
the matter worse, the dressmaker beg
pressing her for her money.
She went to her father. He refused
to help her. She appealed to her brother.

arc that this output will be increased at
least SlO, 900, 900 \ year very shortly
and this amount of yellow metal aidel
to the worlds supply Since 1919 tue
total output of gold from California has
been 81 800, 900, 900.
"Many of tne old mines which were
supposed to have been wOrnUl out have
been rec pened and they are paying well.
Tuerc is also great deal of virgin gold
still awaiting the prosDectors discovery:
Most of the gold at present extracted
comes from quartz mines. This is be-
cause the Legislature passe An act pro-
hibiting hydraulic placer mining in navi-
gaze streams upon the demand OF the
farmers that the streams were becoming
filled up with debris. This law has,
however, been SO amended that WORK
may be resumed, and it ia estimated
that in one enterprise in Neya la County
with an expenditure of 100000 they
can take out 50, 900, O0J worth OF gold.
"There is enough land in California
for hydraulic mining to last hundred
years. The prohibitory law ave min

the amendment it may be resumed with
the Increased output have mentioned.
In the northern part OF the State on
streams which we're declared not TO be
navigablc the mining has been con
tinued and great quantities OF gold been
taken out. In fact, there is to be re-
vival of gold mining interests in the
golden state, but without any gold

A Woman Explorer.

Travel in the far north has hitherto
been attempted only by men, bus the year
1892 has witnessed the breaking up OF
this monopoly.
Mrs. Peary accompanied her husband
to point farther north than any white
woman had ever before penetrated and
early last summer Miss Elizabeth Taylor
started from Winnipeg for the Mackenzie
River Delta and from this expedition she
has just returned. Miss Taylor is BY
nature a traveller and by education an

Her Majesty then sent for a jewel case

Macaulay and Sir Richard Owen.

1t is not generally known that it was
through the unsolicited influence of Lord
Macauley that the late Sir Richard Owen
was appointed superintendent of the de-
partment of natural history at the British
museum-this department including, in
those days, geology and zoology. Lord
Macaulay, writing on this subject, said
that he was DESTROYS that something should
be done for Owen-that he hardly knew
him to speak to, and that, though his pur-
suits were different to his. Owens fame
was known all over Europe. lie also added
than he was m honor to his country, and
that it was painful to think that a man of
his merit should be approaching old age
amid anxieties and distress
Owen told Lord Macaulay the $500 a
year, without house in the museum
would be opulence TO him. Macaulay
further stated that IL seemed TO him TO be a
case for public patronage. Such patronage
was not needed by eminent literary men or
artists. A poet, novelist, a painter or a
sculptor who stood in his own line as high
as Owen stood among men of science could
never be in want except by his own fault,
but the greateDt natural philosopher might
starve while his countrymen were Boosting
of his discoveries, and while foreign acadia
mics were begging for the honor of being
allowed to add his name to their list Pro-
fessor Owen was eventually appointed su-
perintendent of the department of natural
history in 1850. with a salary of $500 per an

Narrowing the Redsteads,

Narrow houses and small rooms in fats
are necessitating many notifications of life
in New York. One result of present condi-
tons is the narrowing of the bedstead.
Time was when double bed must be at
least five feet wide. In New York today,
however, it is difficult to find a ready
made bedstead more than 4 feet 6 inches
wide, and the belongings of the bed are
narrowed correspondingly. In narrowing

been in print now and then because once
he held petty public Office was concerned
in an action at law by which his landlord
sought to recover arrears of rent. The petty
ex-oficial is a dapper little fellow of some
social pretensions. A reporter was sent to
him for particulars of the landlords action.
The doorbell at the brownstone where
the little ex-official lives was answered by a
boy in uniform, literally brass buttoned.
Young Buttons bore the reporters card to
inner regions at the rear of the hall, whence,
through an open door, came sounds of a
dinner party. Also the following, after
Buttons had brought in the card
"A reporteri What the deuce can the
fellow want?" This in the tones of the ex-
official, lord and master.
What! A horrid repUrter?" in a fem
mime voice, evidently that of the lady of
the house. Don't see him, dear. Send
the boy back to ask his business"
PLEASE say" observed the reporter quiet
ly when Buttons brought back the me-
sage, that | was sent to ask about the
landlords suit to recover rent
Buttons marched back, and an instant
later in voice that could be heard all over
the house as well as by all the guests came
the announcements:
He wants to know why yer haven't paid
yer rent and are bein sued fer it!''
In half the time it takes to write it the
ex-official little snOb, his face abnormally
red from contrast with his evening dress,
was out in the hall.

ally must beg your pardon; / didn't under

he explained that lit was all mistake"
about that suit for rent; merely misunder-
standing would be amicably adjusted"
and much more in the same strain When
the reporter, after listening courteously,
had obtained the necessary facts, he re-
turned to his office and wrote an insignifi-
cant paragraph about the matter, and of
course without reference to the comedy of

the boycott notice WAS served yesterday,
was seen by reporter this morning. He
said he was not bothered much about the
notice, and that be thought IL was a
pretty good advertisement for his trade.
When asked il he had any idea as TO
who the perpetrators were, he replied
that he bau an intimatiOn of it, but could
not say at present who they were, as it
might be to the detriment Of the boy
cotted undertakers.
He thinks that in about week the
criminals will have been traced and dealt
with as they deserve.
ut was probably the work of under
takers who are jealous of our business"
he said. "Controlling as we do,
nearly two-thirds of the funer-
ais of the Catholics of this city,
they are anxious to oust us al every
point. But they won't succeed in it.
