A great deal of interest was CEN

of the Mining Exchange yesterday, and
quite a number of the stocks displayed
considerable activity and transfers

sides which there were decided gains
all along the line. and at the close
the market developed an upward ten
dency.
A noticeable inquiry for good silver
stocks was observed throughout the
call. and a large portion of the sales
made We're confined 10 this class OF Sc
curities Anchor took the lead in this
direction and chronicled transfers at
80 cents, and al the close the stock
was wanted al a higher figure even
than this. Ajax was also very strong,
and made some good advances, but no
sales Bullion-Beck was wanted at ad-
vancing figures, and was firm at the
quotations given below. DAILY seemed
a little weak and remained stationary.
Daly-West, however, made good ad-
vances and changed hands at $500,
while at the close holders refused to let
go of any more at this price. Four
Aces was also in good demand, and at
an advance over the figures of the
previous day. both in the bidding and
in the offerings. Mercur was Slumpy,
and suffered 4 decline in the bids,
while in the offerings it was held at
lower quotations than those of a few
days ago. Mammoth is getting back
to the popular side of the pit again.
and is gradually recovering from its
recent losses. Silver King was firm,
and especially so in the offerings.
The unlisted stocks made a favorable
showing, and also figured in the sell
ing. Dalton made the greatest bust
ness in the way of the number of
shares. and this at a slight advance
over previous quotations.. Rex came
to the front with the first sale that it
mas made since this stock began to be
called on the board, and Little Pitts
burg was knocked down at the low
price Of ! cent a share. Swansea and
South Swansea were called, but re-
manned unchanged at the quotations of
the day before. and at these both
stocks We're firm. Buckeye was also
strong. but failed 70 reach the mark in
the bidding that it did on Monday.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

Showing Ones Affection.

J. T. E. is evidently an attentive
reader and has good memory. He re-
fers to a bit of correspondence pub
lished some time during last winter, in
which Mercedes complained that her
best young man bestowed tender CLAN
ces on other young women, whereby
her heart was made sorrowful. ]. T. E.
thinks Mercedes could not have CIV
en- her said young man enough smiles
and evidences of her affection for him,
else he would not have sought them in
other directions. He continues "A
young man likes to have a young lady
show some regard for him, if she cares
for him at ALL And if she fails to do
this, she naturally must accuse her
self of considerable selfishness in not
giving him these longedfor evidences
of affection and regard, especially if
he has given her evidence of his love.

thence is sometimes severely tried by
the carelessness and inattention of her
young pupil, and her mother to whom
she appeals, gives her permission to
punish the delinquent. This she does,
but scarcely feels comfortable about,
and writes to ask if she did right In
furnishing by using school rule on tho
child's hands. Answer: Under ordin-
airy circumstances, it is much better to
leave all such punishment to the
child's mother There must not be two
authorities in the house over one child.
In case the elder sister is the only
guardian and caretaker OF the younger,
it IS well to insist upon obedience; but
the less punishment the better, under
any circumstances, and especially II

Stocping Shoulders, Etc.

Argentine and Truly have been Tor
some time troubled with tendency to
stoop. They declare that they try to
sit up erect, but efforts are of no ac-
count, for they drop back at once into
the Objectionable form. They want to
know some remedy, as they are threat
ened with shoulder braces and straight
jackets if they do not stop the habit
of stopping. Answer: Shoulder braces
and all kindred appliances are Of but
little value as aids to an erect position
or an elegant carriage. 1t would be
far better to take course in physical
training of some sort, or to row, or
ride the wheel, provided the correct
posture was maintained. 1t Is often the
case with young persons who grow
rapidly that their muscles do not grow
strong as fast as their size increases.
They therefore feel weak and some
times languid, and lack the spirit and
elasticity that should characterize
youth and fairly good health. Corns
and warts are said to be forms Of dis
ease-at least are abnormal growths.
There are many alleged cures for both,
but a real, genuine, permanent cure
would make the fortune of its inventor.

And she cannot help being anxious
Am I right or not?" Answer: There
are so many opinions on what should
be the proper department Of young
lady who is receiving the attentions Of
one man that the idea will no doubt
conflict with the belief Of others on
this subject. In the first place, young
men and women are usually on their
company behavior when they are to-
gether, and, as matter Of fact, know
very little OF each other. Besides, there
is an idea prevailing in the minds Of
some men that woman should never
show her feelings for him. The mo-
ment she does so she loses her charm
for him. Too little demonstration
chills and disheartens. Too much
wearies and disgusts. The sum and
substance of the whole matter is that
it depends great deal upon the young
persons themselves whether they can
safely be demonstrative or not.

A Curious African Fly.

The most wonderful creature of the
insect family is a South African fly
called the tsetse. The bite of this fly
which is not larger than common
honey bee and of very much the same
general appearance, is certain death to
the horse, the OK and the dog. This be-
ing the case, it is almost impossible to
cross some of the South African des-
erts, because the animals used on such
journeys for carrying the water supply
OF the party belong almost invariably
to either the OK or horse species. Liv-
ingstone, the great traveller, lost forty
three oxen on one trip from the effect
of the tsetse's bite before he became
aware of the actual cause of the trou-
BILE in the herd. One remarkable fea-
ture of the tsetse is its perfect harm
lessness to the human family, probing
into mans flesh by the insects other
wise poisonous proboscis causing no
more inconvenience than would the

RUSSIA'S DISPENSARY SYSTEM.
Monopoly Of the Sale of Spirits by this
Crown.

Monopoly Of the Sale of Spirits by this
Crown.
The extent of the system of monop-
oily of the sale of spirits by the crown
in Russia Is described by our consul
general at St. Petersburg in his last
report, says the London Times.
The system was first introduced in 1898
in the provinces of Perm, Ufa, Oren-
burg and Samara, and was extended
from July 1, 1896, to Bessarabia, Vol
hynia, Ekaterinoslav, Kieff, Podolia,
Poltava, the Taurida, Kherson and
Tchernigov. To these provinces the
system has been applied, with some
notifications, which local peculiarities
and conditions have necessitated. The
notifications consist principally in the
acquisition by the government of corn
brandy from small brandy distilleries,
whereas in the four eastern provinces
such purchases were confined to large
distilleries. Moreover, brandy distilled
from grain and potatoes will be ac-
quired by the government in preference
to that obtained from the residue OF SUI
gar made of beet root, the brandy dis
titled from which has peculiar taste,
which renders it rather unpalatable.
1t would appear that the sale of Scotch
and Irish whisky, gin, rum, liquors and
other spirituous drinks, excepting wine,
beer, porter and mead, comes under
the operation of the new liquor sale
monopoly law and that it will rest with
the ministers of finance and interior
to issue or withhold licenses for the
sale of those to private individuals.
The ordinary corn brandy, or vodka,
of the country in it's various forms is,
under the new regulations, sold from
shops and depots maintained by the
government, which, however, as in the
case of spirituous drinks of foreign or

This proceeding occupied five min
utes, when she bowed gracefully, and
the groom led her back to the cabinet
which she entered and disappeared
DR.. Rush then bowed, and, going to
the cabinet, also disappeared. The
groom conversed pleasantly with those
present, and we then left.
DR.. Stevens was a strong, hale man
about sixty years old, of medium
height and white hair. The bride was
seemingly eighteen, slightly taller than
the bridegroom. Mrs. Fairchild left
the city shortly afterward. The mar
riage was not made public until re-

igin, reserves to itself the right of al.
lowing private dealers, such as grOcera
ETC., to sell vodka, and the right of do
ing so will be granted only to persons
who may be considered thoroughly
trustworthy. From July l, 1897, the
monopoly will be extended to the prov
inces of Wilma, Vitebsk, Kovno, Minsk,
Moghileff and Smolensk, and from Jan.
l, 1898, further extension of the sys-
TEN will embrace the provinces of st.
Petersburg, Novgorod, Pskov Olonetsk
and Kharkoff. at is too early yet to
form positive judgment whether the
monopoly of the sale of spirituous bev-
erages by the government has answered
financially all expectations. But the
first essay in its application to four Of
the eastern provinces of the empire
has proved so satisfactory in general
effect as to justify the gradual extern
sion of the system to other parts of the
empire. This gradual extension is now
in progress"
