The PuritanicaI Sunday.

From early childhood we were per-
picked with doubts about the things
which might or might not be lawfully
done ON Sunday, and We're hemmed in
by rules Of the "touch- taste not
handle-not" order, at variance with
many healthy instincts, quite uncon-
nected with any morality except that
of implicit obedience, and not COM
manding rational assent.
When l speak of a Puritanical Sun
day, am not using the term as one of
disparagement, bu. simply as presenting
historical fact. Irecognize the Puritan
creed as one that has influenced many
powerful and noble minds and has con-
tributed most valuable elements TO our
composite English character. Even the
Puritan Sunday, mistaken though /
think it, and Of strictness too narrow
and exaggerated for ordinary human
nature to bear, has SO excellent q side
to it, and has been so closely bound up
with customs and habits of great social
value, with definite times for general
rest and definite times for general wor-
ship, that l always think and speak
with great respect Of its supporters. l
only blame those Of them--now 1 think
few in number-who load with epithets
intended to excite odium, other men
who are striving to make the use of
Sunday more beneficial and more adapt
ed to varieties of human character and
conditions. Westminster Review.

The Russians Easy Existence,

Joined to exceedingly high living,
late hours and all sorts of enchanting
but enervating designations, the Russian
system of easy existence absolutely re-
fuses to admit of the necessity of bodily
exercise. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the well to do Russian never, to
use homely but expressive phrase,
walks yard. His person, moreover, is
nearly always loaded and incumbered
with furs, even in summer time, and as
he heats his house and restaurants to q
positively preposterous extent, the bad
effects on his health of the combination
of these evils may be easily imagined if
less readily described. The common
people, on the other hand, lead CON-
paratively healthy existence, because
from sheer poverty, and not by any
means from choice, they are forced to
be abstemious Though they heat their
houses to as high temperature as their
social superiors, yet they are of neces-
sity more in the open air than these
last. Their staple food, moreover, the
nutritious and easily digested black
bread of the country. is an excellent
means of preserving their health under
the very severe social and sanitary con-
ditions under which they live, and of
building up, rs it were, muscle and
bone.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Russian Methods.

Georg Brandcs, the Danish critic, re-
lates an amusing incident of his recent
travels through Russia in his "Indtryk
Fra Pollen" ("Impressions In Poland'),
published at Copenhagen. Passing the
German frontier, he relates, the first
thing which attracted the attention of the
Muscovite custom house officer was two
numbers Of the Paris Nouvelle Revue.
What is this?" asked the official in
German. "A French monthly. "what
are its contentsp" "It's impossible to
give them in minute" Every well,
then, it will go to the censor general at
Warsaw. "Is this review prohibited"
Prohibited is everything that do not
understand, replied the Russian, and
all Danish books of Herr Brandes even
his Chinese French dictionary, were
consequently confiscated.

Earrings have always been among the
most favorite ornaments of nearly all
the nations Of the world, certainly with
those which are called civilized Indeed
among the Persians, Babylonians and
Carthaginians they were worn by men
as well as women. They were always
worn by Greek women from Hera, in
the "Iliad" down TO the Venus de
Medici, whose ears are pierced for the
reception Of earrings. Pliny tells us that
there.was no part of dress upon which
greater expense was lavished among the
Romans. Many Egyptian earrings of
very beautiful design have been preserv-
ed, and these antique designs have been
initiated in modern times. All jewels
are, no doubt, of barbaric origin. and
earrings among the rest, so why discard
them on that groundP We preserve what
we admire, even If IL comes TO us
through this source. And IL piercing the
ears is barbarous what can we say of
shaving, which is done simply for fash
ion, and causes much more uneasiness
to the flesh than simply piercing the
ears once and for ull?
Few would venture to advocate the
abolition of shaving. Why, then, pro-
test against earrings ON this ground2
Care should, of course, be exercised that
ears are carefully pierced and allowed
to heal properly before ornamental ear
rings are worn. but when once this is
done they cause no further trouble.
They are now fashionable, and this with
the large majority of people is enough
to say for them, but some venture to
think, as they are essentially "a wom-
anly ornament and add grace and
charm to a true womanly face, they
should be preserved. Chicago Times

How Dnubisny studied Door All Day to

Paint Picture.
Charles Noel Flagg Of New York tells
interesting stories Of bohemian life in
Paris in the seventies.
IL was at Honfeur one summer,
said Mr. Flagg, "when the Daubignys---
father and son-were there. have al
ways thought Daubigny the strongest
and sanest landscape painter in the Bar
bizon group, and it was interesting to
see how he worked aud how he taught
mis- son. This son was man of brilliant
talent, who died soon after, unfortu-
nately. He would take an enormous
canvas out into the field and cover it in
an hour and half-this was TO get
composition, massing of light and shade,
etc.-and then his father would come
and criticise it Some Of these big swift
things were shown in the salon after
ward The painters used TO contribute
in one way or another TO the fine old inn
where we stopped, and the landlord
wanted young Daubigny TO paint the
panel Of certain door. AT last the
painter promised to do it the next morn
ing resolved TO see that thing done,
so got up before dawn, planted myself
in the old dining room at n good point
of view and pretended to sketch from
the window. Pretty soon young Dau-
bigny came down professed to be not in
the least disturbed by me, so staid.
He sat down in front Of the door and
looked at ii hard for an hour or So
Then he got up and viewed it from diff
ferent angles. Then he gazed at it from
the end of the room. Then he sat down
again. The hours came and went, and
still he was studying that door, with
scarcely pause for meals. By afternoon
was nearly wild; If he didn't t open his
paintbox soon, would smash the door,
At last, at the beginning of twilight,
presto!--I was too excited to see. All
in minute few lightnings flashed out
from him, and there was the miraclel
And breathlessly 1 realized that he had

MAKING A MINE.
In Some Instances It Costs Nothing-In
Others the Cost Ia Millions

~ cohhc hhrthn'tb ~ Sbtth NotntnE-In
Others the Cost Is Millions.
There are no hard and fast rules in
regard to making a mine from the time
it passes into the prospector's hands un-
til it becomes dividend payer. Many
mines are such, as the miners say,
from the grass roots" and turn out
large quantities of ore from the begin
ming.
j. B. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner, took SO. 900, 900 from the Custer
mine, in Lemhi county, Ida, before
it became necessary to use candle
(giant powder). This mine was known
as the Mineral mountain. A man came
along one day, and after looking at it
remarked, "Why, the hanging wall is
gone. " This was true. Nature had as
sisted the miner in this case; the noun
tain side had been eroded, leaving the
mineral standing there. Mr.. Haggin
also spent about 80, 900, 900 in develop
ing the Anaconda mine before il was on
a paying basis.
Mines have been discovered contain
ing fabulous wealth, although pros
pector would starve to death in trying
to work them. This was true in regard
to the Homestake, mine, in the Black
Hills. The prospectors who made the
discovery could do nothing with it, and
it passed into the hands of Senator
Hearst and other California capitalists.
They concluded that, unless it was
worked on large scale, it could not be
made profitable. An so stamp mill was
ordered and shipped in from Cheyenne,
at cost Of $135, 900, as an experiment
The mine has paid in dividends $37, 500
a month for II years.
1t requires a large amount of money
usually to put mine on dividend
paying basis, and, as rule, this the
prospector cannot do, although prospect
ors have made fortunes with their prop
critics. Spokane s. kesman- Review.
