Copper DiVidends.

Each year makes new record OF profit
able results 10 stockholders in Boston's
copper mining enterprises. The smallest
total OF dividends paid OF late years was
10 1887, when with Lake copper ayerag-
ing III cents for the year six companies
1;sbursed a total Of 81, 100000. In 1890
tie average of copper was better than
15.4 cents, and nine companies paid a
tc5sl of 81, GAO, 600, while on 124 cents
Fpay pound average in 1891 eight CON-
sJSnies paid the same total OF dividends
as in 1890. From this aggregate the
panic and depression OF 1893 and follow
Jog years saw copper down to 9h cents
average in 1894 and but $3, $50, 900 was
paid in that year, i've companies partici-
psttng. The same number OF mines paid
dividends last year, but increased capital
stock by the Quincy and the Tamarack
ss well as larger payments by the Calu-
met end Hecla and the Boston 4 Mon.
tSna brought the 1896 total to the larg-
est On record, with copper averaging / l
cents for the year. Copper in 1897 bids
far 20 average fully IL cents per pound,
y il not more, and this years record of div.
idend disbursements will be far and away
the largest ever made. Indeed alre 3dy in
1897 81, 100000 more has been paid or
declared for payment than in the whole

Disonnfenfed Women.

Discontinued women arc always cyclists.
They view everything with regard to them
selves and have therefore the defective
sympathies that belong to low organiza-
ton. They never win confidence, for their
discomfort breeds distrust and doubt, and,
however clever they may naturally be, an
obtrusive self, with its train of likings and
dislikings, obscures their judgment, and
they take false views Of people and things
For this reason it is almost hopeless ef-
fort to show them how little people gener-
ally care about their grievances for they
have thought about themselves so long
and SO much that they cannot conceive of
any other subject interesting the rest Of
the world.-New York Ledger. m

for the Isle Royale mine, $l7 500 for the

EVADING THE ISSUE.

The issue involved in the enforced re-
tirement of President Andrews from
Brown University because of his support
of the doctrine of himetallism continues
TO occupy a prominent place in the dis
cussions of the Eastern press. 1t is alto
gether proper that this prominence should
be given it, for the question is one of
importance to the country and should not
moment.
The Providence Journal commenting
upon the affair says: "The whole Popu-
listic press and platform of the country
now have au opportunity, which they will
doubtless improve, to hurl their thunder
bolts against the old-fashioned but sound
ideas OF those responsible for the govern
ment of this institution of learning"
This is an evasion of the true issue at
stake and is dangerous because it implies
that the question is one Of party politics.
For that reason if for none other it should
be promptly refuted.
The Popocrats cannot as a party de-
nounce the action which drove Professor
Andrews from his position because in
several States they have com mitted SINH
Popu!ists of Kansas undertook to remove
professors from the university of that
State because they did not teach the
economic dogmas of Popuism. A similar
effort was made by the Democrats in
Texas to reform the teaching in the uni
versity there, and but few days ago the
president of the board of curators of the
University of Missouri announced in a
public letter that professor of that insti-
tuition would not be permitted to inocu-
late students with anv kind of political
doctrine he may wish to formulate"
This means of course that only Democratic
economics are to be taught in the Univer-
sity OF Missouri.
1t is not the Popocratic press that Brown
University will have to fear. Those who
have regretted the course pursued in fore
ing the retirement of President Andrews
are the men and women of all parties who
believe in intellectual liberty and desire
to see the fullest freedom of thought
maintained in our universities.
Unless some unforeseen and i'm pro ba BILE
war intervenes, the political questions of
the United States will turn upon .econo-
mics and sociology for the rest of this
generation. If therefore professors in
our universities are to be required to
teach the doctrine of the dominant party
on the board OF trustees we shall have a
shifting of professorships after almost
every election. The plea of the Journal
for ''old-fashioned and sound ideas is of
no avail. In the history OF the intellec-
tual development of our race it has not
infrequently happened that new ideas
were sounQer than the old.

TWO scULPToRs AT HOME.

''No trait in the character of Edward Kem-
eys is more pronounced than his domestic
ity," writes Forest Crissey in his article,
1.-TWO Sculptors at Home" in the August
Woman's Home Companion. "His wife is his
chosen companion in all that claims his at;
tention or interest. She accompanies him to
the prairies and mountains of the Far West in
search of big game, and he confesses that her
presence gives him the stimulus of rivalry, for
she is a crack shot with a repeating rife, has
a splendid physique, which finds keenest ell
joyment in the hardshfps of hunters life,
and loves the excitements of the chase as
ardently as the sculptor himself
"1n the line of his work she is equally Fl tied
by nature to enter into his most intimate
thoughts and emotions. Her fine artistic
sense las already made itself felt in several
pieces OF sculpture, which have brought her
deserved recognition. But it is her true eye
tor things mechanical and her constructive
strength and resour cefulness which appeal
perhaps most strongly to. her husbands ad-
miration. Together they labored on the
'Kemeys groups of animal. figures in the
grounds of the Worlds Colum bian EXPOSE
tion, and he points with pride 10 the fact that
she built their 'skeletons,' or framework d
most difficult mech anical task. :.
although they are charming entertainers
and are always in demand as guests, Mr.. and
Mrs. kemeys accept few invitations and pre-
fer the quiet of their home to social life, save
when the latter is OF the most pronounced in
tellectual and artistic character. The greater
number of their evenings are spent within the
charmed walls OF Wolfden or their residence"

PROGRESS OF TELEGRAPHY.

The news received from London that
the young Italian electrician, Marconi,
has now SO far perfected his apparatus for
wireless telegraphlng that he can send a
message twelve miles will prepare the
world to believe in the proba bility of in
creasing this distance till poles and wires
can be dispensed with. 1t will be like the
cases of the Morse system and the tele-
phone. Increase of distance will develop
with further study and experiment.
The first efforts at wireless telegraphy
extended only a hundred yards, and at
that time it seemed a wild dream 10 ex-
pect messages could be sent more than
half mile. Later four miles was consid-
cred wonderful, and when the limit of
eight miles was reached, in trials on the
British Chann6, the instruments passed
from the toy stage to a mechanism capa-
bic OF much commercial and military use,
Now the inventor talks of the possibility
of sending messages across the ocean.
The wonderful ease and cheapness with
which communications can be trans
mitted when this method has had time to
develop will perhaps be nearly as great
stride in the progress of commerce as
tAae ihdoO W WIZ tciC6iaphys fIOu tu6
description of the invention it would see m
possible that every business house might
at slight cost have its private telegraph
service.
How a multiplicity of such instruments
could be prevented from a confusing in
reference with each other is a puzzle
but no DOUBT inventive genius will find a
way. at first the instruments would
send out their electric influences alike in
all directions, but now refectors have
been arranged so as to confine the radia-
ton of the current to any point desired.
We live in such an age Of wonders that
no new thing science brings forward is
able to surprise US. Marconi's discovery,
though, is great reach in mans mastery
over nature. 1t will doubles result in
benefit to the interests of both commerce
and peace.

DESTRUCTION OF OUR FORESTS.

suppose we need not go mourning the buff
faloes, says John Muir in The August Atantics
In the nature of things they had to give place
to better cattle, though the change might have
bsen made without barbarous wickedness.
Likewise many of natures five hundred kinds
of wild trees had to make way for orchards
and cornfelos. In the settlement and civili-
cation of the country, bread more than timber
or beauty was wan ted; and in the blindness
of hunger, the early settlers, claiming
heaven as their guide, regarded Gods trees as
only larger kind of pernicious weeds
tremely hard to get rid of. Accordingly, with
no eye to the future, these pious de-
stroyers waged intermina bic forest wars,
chips few thick and fast, trees
IN their beauty fell crashing by millions,
smashed to confusion, and the smoke of their
burning has been rising te heaven more than
200 years. After the Atlantic Coast from
Maine to Georgia had been mostly cleared and
scorched into melancholy ruins, the overflow
ing multitude of bread and money seekers
poured over the Alieghauies into the fertile
middle West, spreading ruthless devastatio
ever wider and farther over the rich valley of
the Mississippi and the vast shadowy pine re-
gion about the great lakes. Thence still west
ward the invading horde OF destroyers called
settlers made its fiery way over the broad
Rocky Mountains, telling and burning more
fercely than ever, un til at last it has reached
the wild side OF the continent, and entered the
last OF theI great aboriginal forests the
shores OF the Pacific.
