 ''Did you ever notice, said a veteran tonsorial artist, who had shaved New Hayeners since 1873, to a New Haven Register man, ''that you only see few old barbers?"
 t'Why is it9"
 There are a good many reasons, IT answered the veteran knight of the blade ''I suppose the chief one is that a harber's hand becomes unsteady after he gets to be about 40 years old and he has to give up 4 good many barbers drink hard, and that makes their nerves and hands unfit for service, and they retire before they cut their customers throats. Still, will say that in all my experience of S7 years I never saw 8 man badly cut by barber, not even by an accident for which the barber was not responsible y
 What becomes of the barbers after they retire?'

Actual Christian Life.

Literary and dramatic Christianity will never be truly descriptive of tho actual Christian life because there is so much of 1t that is beyond the power of human portraiture. The human sele. ments may be given with reasonable ac- curacy, but what makes tho Christian life Christian is the infusion of tho di- vine, and that is beyond tho power of man to reveal except by suggestion. - Dr 4.

Dignity of Ma.

It is in the moral and spiritual nature that the dignity of man appears to pos sess an advantage of his kinship with divinity based upon his immortal na- ture. This links him to the chain of endless being. Possessed of Cod s own nature man has power to grasp the in- tangible and see the invisible. pr. Kerr Boyee Tuppor, Baptist, Chicago.

The general prosperity Of 1896 has
been increased by the first six months
of 1897. Measured by production in tons
the output for 1897 as compared for
like time in 1896, mas been nearly dou-
bled. Measured by value per ton, the
output for 1897 is somewhat lower than
that of 1896. Measured oy aggregate
values produced, the output Of '97, In
dollars, is about 26 per cent above that
of 1896 for the same time. There were
5,124 more men employed in mining the
first half Of '97 than in the first half
of '96. Wages remain practically the
same and there has been a marked de-
crease in the number of mine opera
tors who fail to remunerate their en-
ployes.
The output from the silver producing
camps has been greater than ever be-
fore. This statement Is in direct con-
fiict with the general belief. viz: "The
low price Of silver reduces production -
The low price of silver reduces profits
to the owners, curtails production from
the small and intermittent producers
and practically stops prospecting for
silver mines, but observation leads to
the belief that in the large mines the
market conditions can only be and are
met by Increased prOQuCllOn.
The successful reduction Of low grade
gold ores by cyanide, chlorination and
other chemical processes, together with
the improved mechanical devices for
concentration, is opening field to flu
ture possibilities little thought OF a
few years ago. Mills are being erected
in various districts and from the care
being exercised in choosing process II
is safe to assert that the large majority
will be successful, and thereby trans.
form heretofore worthless ores into a
marketable product.
The continued low price of silver is
constantly adding numbers to the corps
of gold prospectors in the field. Reports
from outlying districts from the north
to the southern boundary of the state
are most encouraging and furnish good
ground for the belief that ere the close
of '97 several new districts will develop
into producing camps.
1t is gratifying to be able to repor,
that In general the mining districts OF
the state are the most prosperous In
their history. The people OF these dis
tricts are wide awake, energetic and
satisfied in the knowledge that mining
under existing conditions, is almost the
only industry from which profitable re-
turns are received and may be conf
IDENTIFY expected. HARRY A. LEE.

Since the Arst legislative assembly Of
Colorado passed the school law, In 1861,
the state has wisely devoted generous
share Of her abundant wealth to the
cause Of education.
According to the last census reported
to the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton, there are 13O,362 children of school
age in Colorado. For the purpose Of in
stilling knowledge into .his great army
of young folks. 5000 teachers are en-
ployed These teachers draw salaries
aggregating $1,31s ,s21.3s.
The total number Of school buildings
in the state Is 1854. These buildings are
divided into 2,692 rooms, containing 103.-
$50 sittings. The valuation Of the build
ings is $5,S59, ,476.95. In addition to the
costly structures provided for the
grades, the state possesses some Of the
handsomest college buildings in the
West.
There are f1fty-six counties in Colo
rado. and the ffty-six county superin-
tendents have under their supervision
1900 districts. The school law, amend
ed many times since 1t was framed
three dozen years ago, provides for the
instruction Of every child within the
boundary lines Of Colorado. 1t impair
TALLY scatters schoolhouses on the
plains and among the mountains wher-
I ever there are ten children Of school
! age. Good salaries are paid, and the
most efficient teachers are employed.
The standard in the districts is high
| and at the last meeting of the National
Educational association the rural
| schools Of Colorado were acknowledged
to lead those OF all the other states Of
| the Union. -
Teachers come to Colorado from every
part Of the country, and the best talent
| of the land has been employed in the
Institutions of higher education. while
| only the most thoroughly trained in

| The spirit of progress that distinguishes
| those engaged In other vocations is con-
| spicuous among the teachers. The Nor
NAL institutes of Colorado are famous

| lectures and the enthusiasm displayed
| among those who attend
| In the cities much attention is now
being given to kindergarten work. Pro-
| fessor Grace Espy Patton, superintend-

ciple OF primary training, and she is re-
ceiving cordial support. The law passed
| in 1893 providing for the establishment
| and maintenance of kindergartens in
connection with tha public schools gave
immediate proof ief the educational
value Of Froeber stem when used as
a preparation for grades.

The output for 1894 is practically the
output Of the last six months of that
year. From January l to July l the
miners strike was on. and the camp
practically tied up.
Cripple Creek was in 1891 twenty
miles distant, by difficult mountain
wagon road. from the nearest railroad
station. The first railroad was COM
pleted In July. 1894
Previously there had been numerous
sporadic mining excitements in the re-
gion. and though the existence of gold
was proven, 1t was believed to be in
such small and uncertain quantities
that no proht-paying ore bodies would
ever be found.
For the first two years Of the new
era ore under $50 ton could not be for
warded to smelters with profit Today a
s30-ore is fair smelling proposition
At the close of 1891 there were less
than dozen producing mines. Last
month, October, there were 155, and the
number is constantly being added to.
Today the output is at the rate of
l6, 900 tons a month, of an average val
ue of $65 ton. No other. gold field can
show such a record.
