What Rsst.

IL seems odd to add the study of the noble ga ne of poker to the curriculum of a young Iady's education, but it is never. theless true that an up to-date and fash ionable matron has actually engaged an expert poker player to teach her daugh- ter how to play.
 "Of course they are bound to gamble and they might as we'll play we'll az badly," argued their mother, so, by the way of lighter accomplishment. the lit tie blonde angels with their flying golden hair and highbred faces. may be seen seated at a table with the professional, intent upon the intricacies of the gs me.
 Ore cannot help wondering who the "exper" poker player may be who is engaged to teach the aristocracy. Is he one of Bret Harte's dangerous iascina- tors with soft voice and perfect man. ner, or is he one of the fashy gentlemen of the profession who wear diamond studs and conspicuous neckties ;or simp- ly a "tough," accu toned to pluck pigeons in rhe B)wery? It would be in teresting to know the sort of man that would be selected to teach young ladies to gamble with the best results.
 Another new Idea which has obtained vogue is to engage real "nlgger mIn- strel" dancer to teach clog dancing to the children of the elite of New York. We'll, indeed may the old fashioned mothers whose daughters, like them. selves in their girlhood, have been brought up on the conventional lines of lady like propriety, hold up their hands in amazement and exclaIm, "Whst nextv'-N.

Seattle is making tremendous effort to establish her supremacy as an out fitting point for the Klondike argonauts. The Post IntelIigencer of that city lately issued fine special edition illustrating the advantages of Seattle. While it is commeHdable stroke of journalistic en- terprise it is nevertheless open to some criticism. A correspondent some weeks since addressed letter to ths editor of this paper, asking him to warn the Klondikers against buying supplies in Seattle because the English tariff there
 on adds so materially to the cost Tn Alaska as to work an injury to the min CTS. The writer in question stated that supplies bought in Victoria were not sub iected to that duty, and consequently those going into the Klondike would save money by giving Seattle the go,by and purchasing in Victoria.

HeIilln, in C Mine.

Helium, it will be recollected, is a chemical element which was known to exist in the sun and some of the stars long before it had been discovered on the earth. When found on our globe, two years ago, it was discovered in a rare mineral of Norway named cleveite. Since then cIeveite has been in demand in chemical laboratories, and it's rarity has made It costly. Recently mine was opened near Ryfylke, Norway, con taining an abundance of clevei,e, to- vether with several other rare minerals. The cleveite from this mine, examined in London, has been found rich 1T. hellum, and it sells for about five dol lars pound.

Mininy by Stoek Companies.

The time is coming when mining will be mining and rot stock j,bbing. Then it will be in better favor. IL is true that stock investments have developed and helped to develop many mines, but to injudicious investments in stocks real inning owes the only odium attached to it. Every man interested in mining views it's inclination to drift into legiti- maie channels with particular satisiac- iion Alma Bulletin.
 Qlite true, neighbor; but did it ever occur to you that "irjndicions invest. men,s" in real estate or anything else are very apt 10 cast odlum on the par. ticular commodity involved. Stock com. panies. properly mar aged, represent an ideal form of development of mines. The magnitude of the undertaking is in majority of cases quite beyond indi' vidual resources A thousand men com bining can do easily and without incon- venience what one man is undertaking and failing to do casts discredlt on real mining. So that it is a common saying that mining is gamble and such man is rot lucky. Mining can be made the occasion for gambling and frequently is, but not any more so than dealing in wheat, corn cr oats. The difference be. tween he two is that the mining "gam- ole" frequently develops great wealth. producing industry; whereas, gambling m wheat futures simply emphasizes the ifference in the clevsrDess of men h Transferring ti.e possessions of some one else 70 their own pockets.

She Public Responsible.

Boss Tweed, the original Tammany leader. once said he didn't care what the newspapers said about him, few of his fellows could read. The fact didn't save him, however; the other fellow could read and he was landed in the peniten. tIary. So 1t is not so much the facts a mans friends didn't know about him as it is the fact his enemies do know about him that determine the results of a mans career. An ignorant man casts just as potent ballot as the shre Tdest political student and citizen and his prejudices more frequently lead him astray and to holst into position and power such men as "Little Steve," Fred G. Hughes and that strip pe of men who depend on and use an ignorant franchise to get into place. If there is any one thing that suggests an educational qual- iication for citizenship it is such incl. dents as has just happened in Tucson and has occasionally cropped out all over the territory. Ii the taxpay CTS of Arizona desire to be protected they must place themselves behind law that will cut out the ignorant vote which protects nobody's rights. The great body of cit. izens have rights that are far more vital to the public than the personal rights oi an individual ignorant of our system of government and thelr duties under it, who demand an equal use of the suffer age with the citizen who conscientiously casts his ballot for the public welfare, and is we'll enough informed to do that without material error. Another and perhaps far ID ore potent cause of bad government in the hands of bad men by the suffrage of the people is the matter of prejudice. How many men who re- gard themselves as reputable, we'll in- formed citizens, exercise the power oi suffrage without prejudice ?-Herald.
