The DeLamar Miners Union, it is
said, has law fixing fine of $50 on its
members for plain drunk. From
present appearances that law is not
going to swell the treasury of the or
ganization sufficiently to make it very
proud. Although little excessive for
a plain variety of drunk, itwould be an
excellent thing if such law were en-
forced by the civil authorities.

IN THE WRONG PLACE.
Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings

Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
 Where Artists Place Them.
 Did you ever notice flying angel? I do not 1rean the animated article, but the winged and robed creatures you see occasionally in frescos and friezes.
 If so, you have doubtless marked the horizontal and unearthly position of the body.
 The hands are gracefully disposed along the sides, just as if flying were no particular effort, and the feet are trailed straight behind, though no man has ever found out just what holds them there.
 It has been so since the time of Michael Angelo and Raphael, says the New York World. Those old masters were probably among the first offenders against physical possibilities. They frescoed the wall and ceilings of an <ient cathedrals with ethereal beings with enormous wings sprouting from their shoulder blades and their feet trailing straight out behind.
 Since then every artistic Tom, Dick and Harry in the world has followed the impossible lines laid down by the old painters, and although science has been developed and human ideas have changed greatly since Athens was in it's prime, the absurd form of the ideal an- sgel has not changed a particle.
 Anybody can see at a glance at the pictures that this position in flight is an impossibility. Possibly at speed of a mile second, and with the wings beat ing at the rate of one hundred thou sand times minute, the position might be maintained.
 The point of support is the shoulder blades. The center of gravity is mo- where, apparently.
 It may be possible that painters de- sire to represent an angel doing some thing that human being would find impossible to do. At any rate, they have done so.
 With the wings at the shoulder blades the center of gravity would ex- tend directly downward from the points of support. It is not very graceful but it is true to science and the law of gray itation. It will be long time, howev- CT, before painters consent to paint angels in other than impossible posi- tions
 Everybody remembers how reluctant artists were to accept the positions of running horses developed by the cam era. They were so absurd that it was with difficulty that the negatives could be believed.
 In order to carry the body in hori- zontal position the wings of an angel should be placed in the small of the back and the vertebre stifened with board. Then, perhaps, there would be some sort of an agreement between art and physical possibility.

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive to
 Longevity.

Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive to
 Longevity.
 As factor in longevity the London Speaker calls attention to the fact that those people who have been accustomed to the continued disciplinary use of their brains daily and who have placed their nerve power under highly-de- veloped constitutional training are en- abled by these very means to escape the so-called early decay and to avoid those alarming accidents to health from which so many apparently healthy men succumb. People who use their brains and observe ordinary hygienic care of their bodies resist diseases in the first place; and when they are actually i'll they prolong their lives or recuperate sooner than do those who have lived less intellectual lives. Thus there is given new force to the asser- tion that you may kill man with anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult to kill him with work.
 Whether the brain can actually give power to the muscles is not certain, though the enormous strength some times developed in a last rally looks very much like it. That it can material ly affect vitality is quite certain, and has been acknowledged by the experi- enced in all ages.

wood, with wooden axle trees, all re- volving together. These machines, says the Scottish Review, were often so small that in a narrow passage the carter could lift them bodily, for they held little more than a wheelbarrow. They had wheels foot and half in diameter, made of three pieces of wood pinned together like a butter frkin, and which quickly wore out, and became utterly shapeless, so that load of six hundred pounds was enor- nous for the dwarfsh animals to drag. Yet even such vehicles were triumphs of civilization when they came into use, when the century was young.
 Carts are later invention still, and when one, in 1723, first carried it's tiny load of coals from East Kilbride to Cambuslang, crowds of people" it is reported, "went to see the wonderful machine; they looked with surprise, and returned with astonishment." In many parts of the lowlands they were not in ordinary use, even till 176o, while in the northern districts sledges, or creelS on the backs of women, were chiefly employed to the end of the cen tury. The wretched condition of the roads was the chief cause of the reluc- txnt adoption of carts.
 In the driest weather the roads were unfit for carriages, and in wet weather almost impossible, even for horses deep in ruts of mire, covered with stones, winding up heights and down hills to avoid swamps and bogs. It was this precarious state of the roads which obliged judges to ride on circuit, and a practice began as physical ne- cessity was retained as a dignifed habit, so that in 1744 Lord Dun re- signed his judgeship because he was no longer able to ride on circuit"

WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
Great Sum of Foreign Securities, Held in
 England and France.

England and France.
 The reported valuation of all proper ty in the I1"'-0a Gates by the census of 1890 was s65, ,O37, ,O91, ,197, or s1 ,O36 per capita for the entire population. This enumeration, however, dealt with prop erty in the United States and did not go into the question where it is owned. If the estimate of MT. Robert Giffen is correct that s5,OOO, 100000 in foreign capital was invested in this country in 1880, probably an even larger amount is so invested at the present time. De duction should also be made for the high value put upon waste public lands in the census, with the net re- suit that the per capita valuation of the United States would be reduced to about S950, or s4,75O for family of five. Estimates made by careful econ omists, who come pretty near agree ment among themselves, put the valua- tion of Great Britain about nine years ago at $50, ,000, 1000, ,O00 and that of France at $40, ,0O0, ,000,0 This, says the United States Investor, would afford a per capita valuation of S1,33S for Great Britain and S1 ,0S1 for France, making the valuation for family of five 6,690 in Great Britain and S5,4O5 in France. The figures of France are placed some what higher by some authors. and the total in both countries includos careful estimates of the large holdings of for eign securities, some of them covering property located in the United States.
 The great holdings of foreign securi- ties, estimated to amount in Great Brit ain to about SS,000, ,00O,O00, explain to a large extent the adverse bal ;ance of foreign trade constantly shown by the British statistics. Great Britain would long ago have been denuded of her gold and become bankrupt if the excess of imports over exports shown by her trade statistics were a true measure of her financial condition. The fact that about S400, ,0O0, 900 is due her annually in interest charges upon British capital placed abroad ex- plains how she can afford to import several hundred million pounds sterling Ol lOIclSA htICll dHllSt III GACeSS Ol the domestic merchandise which she ex- ports. France is estimated to hold S4,- 900, 100000 of foreign securities, largely Italian and Spanish, and she also has been able to show a large balance of imports of merchandise over exports during the last two decades, while pill ing up in the yaults of the Bank of France and distributing through her monetary circulation larger mass of coin than any other commercial coun- try.

NOCTURNAL FISHING.
Trout Caught When It Is Too Dark tt

Trout Caught When It Is Too Dark to
 See.
 In the clear streams of western New York Gncluding the celebrated Spring creek of Caledonia) in which 1 have fshed for several years, it is the custom to do great deal of night-fshing in July and August, as at that season the large fish seem to be moving and feed ing only at night, writes an angler in Forest and Stream. Many anglers there do not start for the stream till after dark during the hot weather, and though smaller trout will rise at dark as before, the largest ones are almost invariably taken much later, partic- ularly on warm nights.
 Of course the leaders and flies used at night are much larger than those used in the daytime, and long cast is not necessary. It is the custom to let the fly sink, and bit of worm on the fly is great help, though, of course, one does not dwell on that feature when telling about his catch the next day. The flies used are the red and brown hackles, grizzly king, white miller, etc.
 I have taken many trout when it was so dark I could not see the fly on the surface of the water for that matter. One pool in particular l remember that was entirely surrounded and overhung with large forest trees, and at ten o'clock at night was as dark as any place I ever saw, yet have taken trout there often at that hour during A11p,1St
