An Introduction.

1t is mortifying to note how many
persons pay little or no heed to what
may be styled the etiquette of introduc-
tions. To the lover of good form
there is something that sets ones teeth
on edge on hearing an Introduction so
worded that a woman is presented to a
man, or an elderly woman to a young
one. The rules with regard to intro
ductions are so simple and sensible
that it would seem that the way caring
man or woman, though a fool, could
scarcely err therein. A man is always
introduced to a woman, and it may be
we'll in passing to add that lady's
permission should usually be asked be-
fore such a presentation is made. 1t is
a simple matter to say, Miss Smith,
may 1 present you to Mr.. Jones?" be-
fore uttering the formal Miss Smith,
allow me to introduce Mr.. Jones"
The man is, of course, always
brought to the woman whom he is to
meet; the woman should never be led
to the man.
These rules might seem superfluous
We're it not that one so often observes
their infraction among people who
should know better At a tea ma
tron who years before had arrived at
the dignity Of a grandmother was pi-
loted by her hostess to young girl of
twenty, and they were made known to
each other in the well-meant words:
Mrs. Knight, want to present you to
my dear little friend Mabel Day. Ma
bel, dear, this is Mrs. Knight, of whom
you have so often heard me speak"
If the ladies were amused by the
speech, they were so we'll versed in
that knowledge of good form in which
their hostess was lacking that they
showed no consciousness of her error

Department Stores.
From an Article on Department
Stores.
"The modern department store
employs large numbers of women
in various capacities. 1t is in fact
the first great field outside of tex
tile mills and the manufacture of
certain lines of garments, dress
making, etc., that has been open
ed to them in this country, and
Judging from the way they have
rushed in to occupy it must be in
deed a most congenia1 one.
Before the day of the depart
ment store the only branches of dry
goods OF kindred trades in which
women found employment were in
the workrooms of the millinery
and mantle shops. The selling OF
millinery was the solitary line in
which they found employment In
the capacity of saleswomen. But
nowadays the department store
has changed all this, and not only
are women employed as salespeo-
pie and heads Of stocks, but as
cashiers, foor-wa1kers, etc., and
in a much larger number of in
stances than might be supposed in
the responsible and high-priced
positions of buyers. The writer
knows of many instances in the
city of New York where women
are in receipt of large salaries as
buyers and managers of depart
ments."

A correspondent recites the progress
of settlement of the late reservation
portion of Nez Perce county, from
which the following details are cleaned:
In less than two years 5000 people
have made their homes on the ceded
lands; two thousand eight hundred
quarter sections, or 44S,000 acres are
under fence; good country thorough
fares have replaced the old Indian trail;
the board shanties, thrown up hastily
the first year of occupancy, have been
turned into good barns at the rear of
residences costing all the way up to
$1,000; every settler has splendid gar
den and every cellar is overhowing with
vegetables; two hundred thousand fruit
trees have been planted, which will be
increased by 100000 next spring; three
hundred thousand bushels of grain
have been raised this year, which has
been hauled from twenty to sixty miles
to market.
In the light of the disposition shown
by these facts, the Nez Perce settler is
sure winner. People who apply
themselves with the energy, the ear
nestness and the intelligence that these
men have developed can safely defy
the uncertainties of seasons and the
disadvantages of politics. They are
making themselves known in convert
ing grand old Nez Perce into granary
and home land of gardens and orchards
and Nez Perce is proud OF them.-

Ventila,ing Mines.

The Importance of mining ventilation
is pretty well evidenced by the fact
that the Victorian government has
lately offered prize of $1,000 to anyone
who will devise an efficient and not too
costly method of ventilating mines.
This, too, in spite of the fact that there
has been an enormous amount of brain
tissue wasted in writing books on mine
ventilation. No one but the real miner
who has operated far below the earth's
surface, and sees what check to eff
cient labor poor ventilation is, can be-
gin to appreciate its Importance. 1t is
a subject new mine managers, and es-
pecially the gentlemen who run tun-
nels, never appreciate until they find
that want of good ventilation doubles
or quadruples, or maybe multiplies by
twenty, the cost of sinking, drifting,

The most titilating thing imaginable
is to post a letter on a dark night and
suddenly discover a wheelbarrow di-
rectly in front of the letter box. You
hit between the handles and shoot for
ward on horizontal plain at gait of
about 800 miles a minute. Whereupon
the barrow tips and the wheel strikes
on the back of your head and takes a
ride down the entire length of your an
atomy. You post your letter and turn
arovnd to go your way, when you hit
the old barrow in the same place again.
The wheel and adjacent appurtenances
rumble down the knuckles of your
backbone, or as a doctor would say,
bump over your cervical vertibre and
come down ker smash on your coccyx;
and the barrow is primed and mounted
at its old station in front of the letter
box, ready for the next victim. There
is no animal in the world with more
real humor and gurgling fun in it than
a wheelbarrow in front of letter box
on dark night. 1t is hoped the P. o.
Department at Washington will take
oaicial notice of this physical and met
aphysical fact and provide each post
Office with an active and energetic
barrow. Elk.

The smallest thing yet reported of
Congressman Dingley, is his assertion
that "the price of wheat this year is a
refutation of Bryan's theory that silver
and wheat are linked together" For a
man in his position to use the catch
word of dishonest newspapers, catch
word which is meant to deceive igno-
rant people, is contemplate. But his
conclusion that the fight next year will
be fought out on the lines of 1896, is
certainly most sound unless in the
mean time President Mckinley seeing
the danger, is big enough to break his
environments and do the right thing
by his fellow countrymen.

stoping or other work. Then, for the
first time, he begins to appreciate that
mining engineering is a science, and
that perhaps some other plan of mine
attack would have largely reduced the
trouble which confronts him.
If the Victorian government ever
awards its premium, it will be worth
much to the mining world to know the
plan upon which it was awarded. We
cannot conceive how any general plan
can be adopted, because the conditions
affecting ventilation in different mines
are so different that what is best for
one may not be best for another, so
that there can be no universal best
method. All that any engineer can do
is to understand the laws of matter
which control ventilation problems,
and then use his best judgment in ad
opting such plans as those laws suggest.
1t is position which calls for all the
best knowledge and skill an engineer
can have In an important respect the
adoption of the best plan for ventila-
tion is analogous to adopting the best
method of working ore. There is no
universal method for Mining
Review.

Nelson Dingley, the author of the
tariff monstroslty bearing his name, is
reported as saying:
When state like Kentucky turns
its back on Carlisle to follow Bryan
and state like Nebraska, which sees
before its eyes in every market the
refutation of the Bryan theory that sill
yer and wheat are linked together by
the Almighty, still persists in bowling
down to the silver idol, it is useless for
sound money men to lose sight of the
certainty that the 16 to l silver fallacy
is only scorched, not burned. Business
men may as we'll prepare to make this
issue next year, when we hope it will
be settled forever.
There is no doubt whatever that the
battle next year and that of 1900, too,
will be fought out on financial lines.
We supposed that no one questioned
that, and we do not believe that Mr..
Dingley had the doubt that was i'm
piled in his words quoted. His inter
view is intended to arouse the bitter
ness of last years campaign, to array
the classes against each other and to
prepare the way for the Republican
campaign managers to do some more
fat frying" for corruption purposes
Why call upon "business men?" Are
business men supposed to have all the
honesty and patriotism in the country,
and is money instead of population to
control the destinies OF the country?
II sound money is so good thing, and
if protection is such blessing, what
need of organizing tremendous cam
paign machine to throw out millions
of money to carry elections? The peo-
pie are not slow to appreciate a good
thing in government when they see it.
Why not trust to their voting right and
not attempt to buy their votes?
Mr.. Dingley is clearly a believer in
Hanna campaign methods, and is paw
ing the way for their use in 1898 and
1900. We doubt if the country will toll
crate another S14 O0O,uO0 campaign. 1t
is doubtful, too, whether the trusts,
banks and corporations will again al
low themselves to be squeezed by the
Republican managers. OF course, they
have received about all the benefits
that accrued to any one from the Ding
ley bill, yet they are not any more
prosperous than they were under the
Wilson bill.
1t is some satisfaction to have such
eminent assurance that the Republicans
realize that the cause of silver is not
dead. 1t is not even scorched. The
six million voters who favored the
Chicago platform last year are still
more enthusiastically in its favor this
year. Before the congressional cleo
tions of next year the country will have
another harvest, and the conditions
then will not bring any loss to the
Democracy.-Fresno Expositor.

From the Seven Devils.

A letter from Lucien Eaves, of the
New York and Idaho Copper Co., states
that the smelter is now about ready to
blow in and that all preliminary con-
struction and exploitation work is
practically completed. The company
is now employing between sixty and
seventy men. The company has opened
an assay Office that does the work of all
the miners in the Seven Devils free of
charge. The copper ore has been
found deficient in iron for smelling
purposes, but an excellent grade of
hematite is being obtained from the
Cornucopia district that runs sS to 81
in gold, which the company is import
ing for flux.
Isaac E. Blake, the manager, has left
for the east to secure the machinery
for a 800 ton concentrator, and the
equipment for three and one half
miles of tramway and five miles of
railway that will be constructed this
fall.-Lewiston Tribune.

The most sensible and practical

the towns along the Short Line for the
purpose of working up business for the
city on the Willamette, was given them

ever any cities deserved to lose all the

places are Portland and San Francisco.
Portland never had very much of this
trade and still holds but little of it;
San Francisco had it nearly all at one
time but now only sells some cigars and
an occasional barrel of whisky in all
this vast mining region. The whisky
is the kind kept in Chinese joints and
the cigars are the product of Chinese
