Wasted Lives.

Some people use their energies in a way that wastes the greater part of them. Hurry, worry, irritation, vexa- tion, determination, and foolish anxiety keeps them constantly wasting precious vitality This is foolishness. People do not want irritation and stimulation. When anyone is tired he wants rest, not stimulants. When any ones ener- gies begin to flag recuperation, not ir- ritation, is wanted
 "All tired out" some people say, q need a sjimulant." A very mistaken idea. No doubt such one is in need of invigoraton. recuperation, but not stimulants. Stimulants draw upon the vigor which one already possesses they produce no vigor. When one is tired out. nervous, weak and Respondent, Pe-ru-na is what is needed in the sys- tenn Pe-rfl-na invigorates, recuper- ates, builds up, vitalizes, enriches. re- inforces Unlike so many other re1ne- dies, it does not simply irritate and stimulate.

LARGE DIVIDEND PAYERS.

The last dividend paid by the calu-
met & Hecln Mining Company, making
its total distribution $5O,S50,0O0, is
worthy of special mention for the pass
ing of the half-hundred mark in mil

posessor OF the big Bonanza" there is
no record of any mining company re-
turning to its shareholders so much
money as the Calumet X Hccla has
done In the United States, the Onta-
rio has paid S13.445.000. and the Gran
lite Mountain $12. 100000. There are no
others with records of more than S1O.-
100000 In Australia, the Broken Hill
Proprietary Company has n record of
f6, ,002 600. or ES,136,OO0. including
shares of subsidiary companies which
have been distributed: and the Mount
Morgan one of "a 100000. The share
holders in FL Calluo, of Colombia, have
received S9,66G.4 .440. The Robinson. in

diamond mines fS,19l. 1l3 since the
consolidation. while several of the com
panies which entered this union had
paid large dividends before it was eff
fected. The Rio Tinto copper mines of
Spain have yielded their present own
ers f5, 757, 800 from 1879 to 1896, both
years inclusive); how much the an
clients got out of them we have no
means of knowing.
In referring to the above mines as
being the largest dividend payers, we
do not lose sight of the great bonnnZas
OF Mexico and South America-Guana-
juato, Zacatecas, Pnchuca, Cerro de
Pasco, Potosi and many others-Of
which the production was huge and
the profit must have been enormous.
The Spanish king received fifth of
the product as his royalty, and the nd
venturers, many of them at least be-
came rich. But of all this we have no
definite records. Nor have we of many
other famous mines of which the eX-
ploitation began long ago, like the
mines of Lnurium and Almaden, or
those OF the Harz and the EZebirge
Certain OF these mines have been
worked with fair continuity for nearly
800 years, and small dividend per an
mum for many years may exceed a
large one for IL few years. The Calu-
met & Hecla. however, has had the good
fortune to pay large dividend for a
good many years already, and the end

Grants Aversion to Liars.

In the Century, Gen. Horace Porter,
in his Campaigning With Grant"
dwells upon Grants aversion to liars.
He quotes the following remarks from
Gen. Rawlins:
THE general always likes to tell an
anecdote that points a moral on the
subject of lying. He hates only two
kinds of people, liars and towards. He
has no patience with them and never
fails to show his aversion for them"
ingalls, adds: "Such traits are so foreign
to his own nature that 1t is not sur
prising that he should not tolerate
them in others. AS a man and boy he
has always been the most absolutely
truthful person in the whole range of
my acquaintance. Inever knew him to
run into the slightest exaggeration or
to borrow in the least degree from his
imagination in relating an occurrence"
One of the party remarked: 81 was
amused one day to hear an officer say
that the general was 'tediously truth
full He explained that what he meant
by that was that the general. in men,
tioning something that had taken place,
would direct his mind so earnestly to
stating unimportant details with entire
accuracy that he would mar the inter-
est of the story.
For instance, after returning from
a walk around camp. he would say: I
was told so and so about the wounded
by DR.. - while we were talking this
morning inside the tent and half
hour afterward he would take the trou-
Bile to come back and say, as II 1t were
matter Of the greatest Importance: I
was mistaken when told you that my
conversation with DR.. - occurred in
side his tent; that was not correct; 1t
took place while we were standing in
front Of his tent"
There was much truth in this COM
ment. No one who had served any
time with the general could fail to be
struck with his excellent memory and
the pains he invariably took to state
occurrences with positive accuracy. even
in the most unimportant particulars.

The Price of L'nd and the Telegraph Quo
tatluus,

tatiOns.
The Silvcr-lcad miners in Colorado
and elsewhere in the West are again
making an uproar over the misleading
quotations of the lead market which
are furnished by the Western Union
Telegraph Company. That the quota
tiuns, which are thus furnished, are
misleading is hardly worth the time
of saying it. Last week the New
York quotation of lead was reported
in Denver aS 4c. when sales were be-
ing made here at S4.30 to $40 What
reason the telegraph company has for
making such reports we do not pre-
tend to say. OF course the producers
of silver-lead ores. which are generally
contracted to the smclters on sliding
scale per unit, according TO the New
York quotation, object strongly to what
they consider to be highly unfair deal
ing.
However, we do not see any reason
for this fresh outcry and excitement.
II is not a new wrong which h's been
sprung on them. On the cOulrar..', the
matter has been discussed repeatedly
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal OF previous years. In our issue of
October 20. 1894. we called attention
especially to it. Ever since that time
at least the sellers of lead ore have
made their bargains with their eyes
open. If they We're not satisfied with
the conditions they should not have

smelters make their rates on ores cor

tations. and If the miners should in
sst on settlement according to actual
market quotations the rates on ores
would be raised. The miner might not
realize any more than he does now. but
ii is nevertheless desirable that he
should feel that he has been treated

the articles they adorn are past usefulness.

work than that of keeping it in good order,
and only by doing it herself can the tasty
woman have her fancy linens kept bright
and pretty.
