can work out in season with the
system of mining in vogue here at
present, and the men who work the
lays receive from so to rs per cent of
the output of the ground for the
season, the mine owner taking the
balance. This would seem to one
not familiar with the system of min
ing and its many difficulties, to be an
excellent chance to make money.
And yet every day lays are being
thrown up by those who were to have
worked them.
"What inducement is there, there
fore, for men to come to this country
with the intention Of doing this same
work in localities that are totally IN
known? And yet thus Is what they
must expect. 1t may seem incred-
IDLE, but it is true, nevertheless, that
over half the claims on both these
creeks still remain untouched, and
men who had been lured here by the
reports OF wealth on them have de-
chned offers of lays on them after
seeing for themselves how hard it was
to procure the gold that undoubtedly
lies hidden beneath that robe of
frozen earth.
at is hoped that some less expen-
sive method will have been found
soon for the working of these mines
In fact, that problem has, I think,
already been solved, but it offers no
inducement to the laborer. When
machinery, or hydraulic methods are
employed less men will be required
than now. and already the supply in
that iue if far in excess of the de.
mand. Besides, as soon as food be
comes more plentiful, wages will be
reduced, and man is better of
working at the smallest wages that
are paid for common labor at home
no matter where his home may be
than he is when drawing SIO per
day."

causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing; head
ache, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feel

There is often foul taste in the
month, coated tongue, and if the III.

gestlon is the one necessary thing to
DO, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson che SAT-

ally successful in the courts.
Of course the story told by
those officers was probably not
true. It could hardly be, for the
publication of it would have ru-
ined the credit of the securities of
the company everywhere. I only
tell it as a pleasant romance and
to point moral.
A man has no right to set a
spring-gun without giving notice
to the unwary. Neither has he a
right to place unusual temptations
in the way of his fellow man.
But a man who resists such
temptations successfully is a hero,
and he who falls and is punished
for it is less of criminal than of
martyr.

in his private letters asserts that
his officers are a lot of incompe-
tent prigs, which they are not.
But on the other hand there is lit
tie doubt that most volunteer off,
GERS become aristocrats the mo-
ment their shoulder straps are fas-
tened on. And this, to certain
extent, is necessary ''for the good
of the SERVICE" but the volunteer
soldier will never forget that the
oretically "all men are born free
and equal and he will most heart
lily resent what he considers an
effort to 'put on airs" by his Off
GERS, and this may perhaps account
for the straitened feelings be-
tween most volunteer soldiers and
their officers, in the present war,
and especially those never un-
der fire. For, strange to say, the
baptism of fire will almost invari-
ably entirely eradicate these feel
ings and instead establish and &C.
ment the true feelings of good
comradeship and confidence which
always exist in veteran commands.

Mr.. Brander Matthews, who
sets up to be the great literary
critic of the day, now comes for
ward and declares confidently that
the books which English readers
have for century regarded as lit
erary gems and standards of excel
lence are in fact, when weighed in
the balance of modern, super-sen-
sitive and Unprecedented literati,
gross in their language and lack
ing in the probability of plot. In
fact, if we are to believe Mr.. Mat
thews the stories Of our modern
American writer's, such as Mark
Twain, are to be preferred.
The opinion of the literary edi-
tor Of The MIRROR will only weigh
as a feather against the verdict of
this high tribunal of literary mer-
it, but nevertheless we will have
our little say in opposition. In
the first place, while the language
of Fielding is free, yet it is unde-
niably the language Of men and
women who lived and are still
alive. 1t is supposed by super
refined critics, that the language
put into the mouths of characters
in a book should be different from
that used by living aud breathing
beings, but in this they detract
from the truth Of their stories.
Fielding wrote his books like Rosa
Bonheur paints her horses they
are not emasculated. Then Mr..
Matthews tells us that the plot Of
the "Vicar Of Wakefield" is lack
ing in probability. That is only
true to certain extent. Gold
smith does bring quite a number
Of scattered threads together in a
sudden climax. However, it is
not the plot, but the central char
acter and his beautiful philosophy
which have made the Vicar of
Wakefield" a classic. And when
all is said and done, it is not the
fact that book is enjoyed by the
masses for brief period which
gives it standing. but the fact that
successive generations of cultured
minds have deemed them worthy
Of being classed among the great
works Of English literature.

CHINA is today the storm-center
around which the currents of the
worlds diplomacy and the greed
of Europe are revolving. 1t is
not too much to say that history
is being made very fast at present
in the Flowery Kingdom.
The abdication of the emperor
in favor of his mother has been
followed by edicts which will rev.
olutionize the entire complexion
Of the Chinese empire both social
ly and politically in short time.
It is said that these edicts will
open the way for speedy intro
duction into the empire Of Euro
pean institutions and modes of bus
mess. When this is done we may
reasonably expect the same kind
of social advancement in Chiua
that has been seen in Japan in
the last twenty-five years. And as
Japan has taken it's place among
the powers so will China also come
forward, and it's numberles inhab-
itants, once endowed with the
powers of our modern civilization,
will take their proper place among
the nations of the earth. The rap
id progress of the Japanese gives
us ample assurance of what may
be expected when the Chinese,
their blood relations are once seiz-
ed by the spirit of the West.
The modernized Chinaman has
proved himself in the United
States a competitor with whom
the Caucasian laborer is unable to
compete. Should European civil
ization gain foothold in China, as
it now bids fair to do, the world
will be confronted with a new
Chinese problem-the problem Of
industrial competition with a fru-
gal and industrious, as we'll as ar
tist1c, race, whose members are
able to subsist on less than the
most oppressed of European peas
ants.
The reader will probably infer
from the present status Of the
Chinese empire, that it is likely to
lose it's integrity by falling prey
to the various European powers
who now surround it like hungry
wolves around fallen OK. But
although this will probably hap
pen, the acquisition of this terri
tory will not be a source Of
strength, but rather Of weakness
to these powers, when the Chinese
nation once arrives at that point
of civilization where the Japnese
now are.
We have the testimony of such
eminent military authorities as

The United States volunteer
soldier takes kindly to fighting,
but he doesn't take kindly to sol
diering. He is republican and
democrat as long as he is a pri-
vate, for although these words are
used to designate great political
parties, they are happily united in
their true meaning in the person
Of the volunteer soldier.
But the construction of an army
is not republican and is not demo-
cratic in it's principles. Oh, no!
It is despotic, autocratic and arts
tocratic. And when the true cit
izen soldier once gets his eyes
fairly open to that fact he is apt to
become disconnected boy, who
will run the guard lines if he can,
and who, if he be not supplied
with a superior quality of officers
will soon discover that there are
privates in the regiment who are
better able to command it than
the officers, and if that discovery
is once confirmed then the citizen
soldier becomes a very much dis
gusted man, and is apt to circulate
petition that the regiment be
