THE DEEPEST NINE.
America Now Has Penetrated the
Worlds ernst Furtkest.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
The United States has now, we believe
the deepest metal mine in the world. Eor
some time that claim has been made for
the Maria shaft at the mines of Przibrar1
in Austria, which was 3,615 feet below the
surface at the time Of the great fire in
1892; and nothing, we believe, has been
done upon it since that time. It has now
been surpassed in depth by the No. 3 shaft
of the Tamarack Copper Mining Company.
in Michigan which, on December l. was
500 feet deep, and is now more than 3, 200
feet, the average rate of sinking being
about 20 feet a month. This makes il be-
yond question the deepest metal mine in
existence, and only one other shaft has
reached a greater depth, that of a coal
mine in Belgium, for which $500 feet are
claimed
For the attainment of this distinction
we have to congratulate Capt. John DAN
ieis, the general manager of the company
for the skill and success with which the
work has been carried on. In Germany
the completion of the AdaiDcrt shaft to a
depth of 1000 meters Gi,2Sl feeO was
thought worthy to be the occasion of a
public festival; and though the Tamarack
shaft has been carried down to the pres
ent great depth entirely as a matter of
business, and no especial formalities have
marked its progress, the remarkable
achievement certainly deserves recognition.
for not only has it been sunk to a greater
sunk with much greater rapidity and at
less cost than probably any European shaft
of any kind like its depth or in ground as
hard.

At Forty the MatrOn's Family Cares
HIVE Generally Been Much Reduced.

At Forty the MatrOn's Family Cares
Have Generally Been Much Reduced.
At forty, or after forty. begins woman
time for real living, says a writer in the
New York Press Her children are beyond
the need of constant care, and she can, If
she heroically will, reserve hours and hours
for her own use and profit. 1t is pretty
much matter of personal choice whether
one shall be old after any number of years.
Age is largely a state of mind. At forty a
woman has learned patience and has prac-
teal sense of the value of all those wise
saws that are meaningless words to the
young. About the only thing she needs to
learn is that not at any age is anybody old
except from choice. Wifehood motherhood,
womanhood is. like Journalism, a training
for anything; and the woman of forty. with
leisure, for which she must struggle but
which she can gain, with discipline of ex-
perience that is better than all book study,
with the struggle for a mere living about
ended, can begin with radiant hopes a con-
test for culture in almost any direction her
choice may point. She Is apt to deplore the
loss of earlier advantages, to exaggerat e
the narrowing influence of years absorbed
in purely domestic interests. to lack conf
dence in her ability to acquire much in the
years remaining to her. Particularly, she is
abashed before husband and children when
she considers the question of going in for
something" Yet, when she does enter an
art class, a language or a history class or
joins a HomanS club. or takes up a course
of reading with home study club, or any
thing of the kind, she is as surprised as the
man who survived his own wake to find
herself still very much alive, very deeply in
terested and very determined to enlarge her
ambitions. Even outside of purely society
and domestic matters, the woman over forty
can find tremendous interest in life and
an enjoyment deep and serene.

SOME PERFUMES EASILY MADE.
Dainty Chemistry Which Women May
Practice and Save "a Little Nopex

Although strong perfumes are considered
vulgar, faint suggestion on the other
hand Is indicative of refinement We all
know how delightful is the delicately pun-
gent smell OF the pot-pourri of rose leaves
In fresh, well-aired drawing room, or the
breath of violets which is just apparent.
and no more. about the person of a Femme
bien soignee. In olden times ladies them
selves were wont to prepare their own per-
fumes: and to judge by the recipes handed
down from our grandmothers the fair danes
of those days had Il much more pronounced
taste for musk and patchouli than would be
deemed consistent with refined taste and
good form in these days. Ii is a pretty
dainty chemistry for woman to ACQUIRE.
however, and as sachet powder in small
quantities is more or less expensive, ard
the result, besides being really better if the
ingredients are purchased separately and
then mixed together many ladies, accord
ing to the New York Tribune prefer to
make their own sachet powder themselves
A good recipe for violet sachet is to mix
two pounds of powdered Florentine orris
root with pound of rose petals, a pound of
cassia flower heads, a pound of black cur
rant leaves. a fourth of a dram of altar
of almonds and half a pound of powdered
gum benzoin. Mix well and sift and let the
powder stand in tight glass jar for a week
before using. Pot-pourri of lavender is a
delicious scent for linen closet. For this
allow a pound of dried lavender the same
of rose leaves, half a pound of coarsely
crushed orrts root. two ounces of brok en-
cloves, two ounces of cinnamon, two ounces
of allSpice and pound of dry table salt
Keep in an alright jar couple of weeks
before using. Rose sachet powder is also
very easy TO make, consisting of a pound
of rose petals, half pound of ground SAN
dalwood and a fourth OF an ounce of altar
of roses; this, too. must be kept a week or
two in the covered jar before being ready

JUST LIKE POOR LO.
Native Australians Shiftless, AimIess
and Fond of Liquor.

For many years there has been an an
rual distribution of blankets and other nee
essaries, says writer in Chambers Jour-
nal Mission stations have also been es-
tablished by government and private funds
IN Inherent parts of the country. where as
many or the blacks as are willing to con-
form to the mild rules laid down for the
conduct of the establishment are housed
fed and taught. Their want of constraint
ana tnelr instinct for free, roaming life,
however, generally weigh more heavily
than does even their liking for regular RAJ
tons and lazy life. The majority prefer
10 become hangers-on about the towns hips
ana stations, eking out existence by beg
ging and doing odd Jobs. Every station
ana township has its little band of black
fellows and their gins" who wander about
In wonderful assortments of the CASTOR
clothing OF the whites begging from every
one and not always clearly Distinguishing
between meum" and 'tuum" "Bacca"
and sixpenceS are what they most favor
Dut nothing at all comes wrong The men
and women are alike lnordinately fond of
tobacco and intoxicants. This fondness
Tor drink has had not a little to do with
their downfall. 1t is a pitiable sight to see
the poor creatures loafing about the hotels
begging and praying for the maddening
poison which they know too well is fast
destroying them. Once having acquired the
vices of the whites, their ruin is swift A
rev, but not many, are employed as cattle
men, shepherds and general help about the
stations. They are also drafted into the
police force as mounted troopers and track
ers, ard have done and are doing some
splendid service in hunting down criminals
who escape to the bush. Many are fine
runners and athletes, but since abandoning
the old wild life their prowess in these re-
spects is waning. Mission work among
the blacks cannot be said to have been sue
cessful. Undoubtedly good work has been
done by the devoted missionaries who have
spent their lives trying TO raise and en-
lghten the native tribes. The low type of
intellect, the shiftless, aimless life the
wandering habits. the traditional instincts
OF the aborigines and the too often evil ex-
ample set them by the rough settlers have
been hard to overcome
