q short period in lS46'4D up to his final re-
tirement from public life as member OF
parliament and premier Of the British en-
pire at IS years Of age in 1894.
Endowed by nature with splendid con-
sttution and a powerful physique, Mr..
Gladstone was gifted with mind OF re-
magkable clearness and Vigor, which his
regular ha bits Of life enabled him to retain

Beatty's Organs ana Pianos.

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty,of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer, is building ana shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penniless
pIow- boy, and by his indoElitable will
he has worked his way up SO as to sell so
far, over 100000 Of Beatly's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his
way, that would have wrecked an ordi-
nary man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out OF 1t brighter
than ever. He Was mavor of Washing
ton, New Jersey from 1879 to 1888, five
terms, and recently declined renomi-
nation for the sixth term. His instru-
ments, as is well known, are very popu-
lar and are to be found in all parts of
the world. We are informed that dur
ing the next ten years he intends to sell
200 900 more of his make; that means a
business Of S20000,O00, if we average
them at $500 each. 1t is already the

why the Queen had attended to 1t
herself.

Copper supply of newfoundland.

The copper supply Of Newfoundland
Is said to be practically ineXhaustiblc.
The island is now the sixth copper pro-
ducing country in the world. This in
dustry was first established In New
foundland in 1854, when Tilt Cove
began to occupy the attention of cap
italists. During recent years very sat
lsfactory results have been achieved
In that district. These mines pro-
duced last year over seventy thousand
tons of ore at a profit of more than
S115,000 The records for 1896 are
somewhat incomplete, but they show
an export from Newfoundland of 46O,-
311 tons of copper ore, 0,730 tons Of
regulus, and 5,240 of ingots, valued at
about S11, 100000 1t is estimated that
the country has produced fifty thou
sand tons of fine copper, worth fifteen
million dollars, the greater part of this
being turned out during the past
twenty-five years.

The introduction of freight cars OF
10000 pounds to 10000 pounds car.
rying capacity renewed the large
car" question, which is always fruit
full subject for discussion among rail
way officials of the operating and car
departments. The G0,00O-pound car
which has been practically the stand.
ard, dates back only to 1885. In 1875
the normal capacity was from 10000
to $4,000 pounds, and in 1885 this nor.
NAL capacity had grown to 10000 and
10000. In that year q committee of
the Master Car Builders Association
made a report recommending certain
standard dimensions for G0,000-pound
cars, but such cars were then quite
exceptional.
Few cars Of less than G0,00O pounds
capacity are now built for ordinary
freight service, but on the other hand
there IS n decided tendency to increase
the capacity to 10000 and $4,000
pounds. Even this Is not the limit,
however, for several hundred steel
cars of 100000 pounds, and even no..
900 pounds capacity, are in service.

Need of Covering During sleep.

The reason 1t is necessary to be well
covered while sleeping is that when
the body lies down 1t is the intention
of nature that 1t should rest, and the
heart especially should be relieved Of
its regular work temporarily. So that
organ makes ten strokes q minute less
than when the body is In an upright
position. This means 600 strokes in
sixty minutes. Therefore, in the
eight hours that man usually spends
In taking his nights rest, the heart Is
saved nearly 5000 strokes. AS it
pumps six ounces of blood with each
stroke ii lifts 10000 ounces less of
blood in this nights session than it
would during the day, when a man
Is usually in an upright position. Now,
the body is dependent for its warmth
on the vigor of the circulation, and as
the blood flows SO much more slowly
through the veins when one is lying
down, the warmth lost in the reduced
circulation is supplied by extra cov-
erings.

WEALTH IN MINE DEBRIS.
Old Prospeotor Makes Fortune Out OF
the "Tailings."

Old Prospeotor Makes Fortune Out of
the "TaiIings.'
There are some men In this world
who have to toll for mere apology
of living-and then there are others.
One of these latter is Mr.. Luce of the
Cargo Muchacho. Luce's experience
reads like a romance. For twenty
years he had knocked about the coast,
On the desert, in the mountains, pros
pecting and mining, and had finally,
by hard work and the closest economy,
managed to scrape together a few
hundred dollars.
One day on the shores Of the Colo
rado some twenty miles north of Yu-
rna, he met an old Mexican, who told
him of deserted mine some ten miles
back from the river and seven miles
north of Hedges. Luce's interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine, to
find there an abandoned twenty-stamp
mill which had pounded away for
many years and finally shut down.
Luce examined the property and dis
covered that there was a small noun
tain OF tailings, the accumulation Of
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tailings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly
and estimated there was over 100000
tons Of the stuff there. That night he
wrote to the president Of the COM
pany IN New York City Offering ten
cents per ton for the taillngs on
basis of 100000 tons. The president
read the letter, looked surprised, and
called the directors together. They
read the letter, looked wise, tapped
their foreheads significantly and
laughed to each other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one.
'Desert's proved too much for him
probably gone daft" observed an
other.
Not one of them thought these tail
ings were worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert. But
they answered the letter. telling Luce
to go ahead.
On receipt of the letter Luce imme-
diately erected a cyanide plant, costing
him about 500 of his own and his
friends money. Then he hired fifteen
MeXicans and Indians and began
work on these tailings. One day some
representatives of the mine company
were returning from San Francisco.
and passing through the desert they
thought they would visit the mine.
How are your said Luce. "Glad
to see you. By the way, we might as
well fix up our little accounts now
as at any time" and 80 saying he
threw the astonished Gothamites q
check for $4,000. Then he explained
that in the nine months he had been
running the cyanide plant he had
cleaned up $4,000, and that there was
plenty Of failing in sight to net him
100000 within three years.
