 The Butte, Mont, Western Mining World says: The signs of the times are very favorable for the mining in- terosts of Arizona, and it is very gen. orally believed that the year upon which we are now entering will witness great progress iD this line of industry. No intelligent observer can be blind to the evidence that interest in mining is on the increase. Eastern capital is being invested and New York is very likely to follow in such matters the ex. ample set by London.
 From reliable authority it was learned that the Anaconda Copper Company shipments during the year 1896 were: Copper, 125, $50, ,693 pounds; silver. 5,433, ,s26.74 ounces; gold, 17,411.33 ounces. Copper shipments show an increase of 25, 575,- 396 pounds over that of 1895. Silver shipments showed decrease of ST. O34.07 ounces and gold decrease of 2,81S.11 ounces. The output for 1897 will certainly show an appre- ciable gain over the year past, as the mines are better developed and equipped for the extraction of the ore. Western Mining World.
 News comes from the Pacific coast Co the effect that the big powder com panies operating in San Francisco have signed agreements whereby a man. moth powder trust has been perfected. For several years past there has been WAT raging between the different man. ufacturers, and it is said that the pow der consumers have profited thereby, and that the profits to the shareholders have been but slight. If this combina- ton carries out its designs the price of powder will be advanced two or three cents per pound. all of which will fall on the consumer.
 Copper production in the United States fsr the first month of 1897 con- tinued at high rate, tue total reported by MT. John Stanton, statistician for the producers, being 17,637 long tons, an increase of 2565 tons, or l7 per cent over January, 1896. It is evident that our mines have no intention at present of diminishing the output. The in. crease Is apparently all taken up and the market is very firm. European production for the month fell of slightly, the difference being 239 tons, or 3.5 per cent. The United States exports continued very large, the total for the month having been 9651 tons, a gain of 1883 tons, or 1S.l per cent over last year. The increase in exports was thus even greater in proportion than that in production.

A Negro COLONY In Maine.

Unlike most of the African settle
merits in Maine, the negro colony az
Warren did not originate from the IN
derground railroad or the anti-slavery
proclamation; it antedates Names adj
mission to the union, and sprung from
a single colored man named Amos Pc
ters, who came from Plymouth, Mass,
in 1887 or Whereabouts, and his wife
Sarah, slave from Guinea, brought to
Damariscotta by a sea captain. The
progeny of this pair had increased to 50
people in 1850, but their numbers have
since dwindled down to so. They be-
came successful farmers, their floclls
and herds increased, and one of them
accumulated fortune of $1,000 They

The beach grass is one of the most
wonderful of plants. There is no other
plant outside of the cactus family that
thriyes so on sand; planted deep in the
salt sands of the shore, the wind sweeps
the sand above and through it, and yet
it rises and sweeps its keen-pointed
blades over the packed surface, some
times three or four feet higher than its
roots. The people of the cape know it
as a device of nature to hold the shore
together. Bat even the beach grass,
sturdy and interchangeable as it is,
needs sturdier backing. 1t wants the
broad-rooted heath family behind it,
and the trees that break the force of the
wind. a good while ago the planting
of beach grass on the cape between
Provincctown and Trlro saved what
threatened to be a positive inroad of
the Atlantic into Cape Cod bay, which
would have cut the peninsula in two
where its level is very low as afore-
said. This result was due to the habit
of this precious member of the
gramineae of rising above obstacles.
Think of poor Provincetown as an
island and doomed island, more
over - of Cape Cod bay as a
toy of the great tides of the Atlantic
of quiet Plymouth as a recipient of
those tides-of all the other changes
that might Springfield (Mass.) Re-

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The greyhound seems to have been
developed in level, treeless and shrub
less countries, where moving object is
visible at a long distance, and great
speed is, therefore, necessary to enable
predaceous animal to overtake it's
prey.
Scarlet seems the color most con-
spicuous in bright sunshine, and scar
let flowers are commonest in dry and

1t has been a source of interest aud
wonder TO Arctic explorers to find such
quantities of singing birds within the
Arctic circle. They are abundant be-
yond belief. But the immense crop of
cranberries, crowberries and cloudber-

account for the presence of the birds.
An interesting series of expert

"A French physician has invented
method by which he says iron can be
given in large doses. Hens, he noticed,
have powerful internal organs. They
can digest considerable quantities of
iron, and then render it back, through
the albumen of their eggs, in a form
which is easily digested by the weaker
stomach of mankind. SO he feeds his
hens with what he calls "a very alb
sorbent salt of IRON mingled with
grains of wheat, and they lay eggs eX-
tremely rich in iron already digested.
The researches and experiments of
Messrs. Broca and Richet have led them
to the conclusion that the cerebral
nervous system is incapable of perceiv-
lngmore than an average of ten separate
impressions per second. After each
eNcitation of the nerves period of in
ertia follows, lasting about one-tenth of
a second, and during this period new
impression cannot be made. Accord
ing to the same authority, person can
not make more than ten, or at the most
a dozen, separate voluntary movements
OF any kind in a second although the
mucles, independent of the will. are
capable of making as many as 30 or 10.

OUTSIDE AND INSIDE WEATHER.

In the morning. when our eyes pop open
early. very early,
And we creep and peep to watch the sun
arise;
II he's hiding, and cloudy sky a-glower-
ing, grim and surly,
Has no streaming golden beaming for
our eyes
Why, then, lightly as a feather.
Must our spirits dance together,
And our faces must be sunny ali day
long;
For as fresh as highland heather
WE can make the inside weather
When the outside seems to be so very
wrong.
But If with the outdoor sunshine all the
happy birds are singing,
And the trees are budding in the glad
warm light
4 And the arbutus is peeping from it's brown
leaves tender keeping,
And the face of day is fresh and sweet
and bright
Why. then, why not all together
Make our faces match the weather?
Fresh and sweet and bright and sunny
all day longi
For as fragrant as the heather
Is the charming outside weather,
And the inside cannot be so very wrong

CLOSE CALCULATION.
The Very Small Margin of Profit in
Manufactures.

In calico printing One-tenth of cent
yard is fair profit. In paper manu-
facture three to five per cent upon the
product will yield ten per cent. upon the
capital invested. In sugar refining
one-siXteenth of a cent profit upon a
pound is more than satisfactory. In
making pianos the average wages of
the operatives are high, as compared to
cotton and shoes, and the capital in
rolved comparatively small. Wages in
tine piano factories of New York and
Boston average nearly $50 a week. TAX
ing the whole shop, but the profit upon
the product in good years runs as high
as Is per cent. In the manufacture of
locomotives the average wage is high
10 woman finding employment, while
in the manufacture of small arms it is
correspondingly low, women being
largely employed. Reviewing the
whole field, it will he found that the
product of factories is constantlr grow
ng in value and wages increasing, as COM
pared to the capital involved. Some
economists assert that capitals share
OF the prohts is constantly decreasing,
while that of labor increases, but this
is still mooted point. The difference
between the cost of manufacture and
the retail selling price, or the
share falling to the middleman or
men, varies according TO the class
Of product, the rule being that in
staple goods it is small and grow
ing smaller every year, while with
fancy goods and what are known as
novelties it is large. Common heavy
cotton cloth. costing eight cents to
make, sells at retail for about nine cents;
fancy calicoes may sell at retail for
double what they cost to produce. In
sugar, half cent a pound is the average
difference between cost and retail price.
Shoes costing two dollars to make, sell
at retail for three dollars.-Scribner's
