Gently stopped a street car after pay
ing her fare, and took a return car
home to get forgotten trading card
before making some trifiing purchases.
The price of the extra fares exactly
balanced the value of the "gift" on five
dollars worth of goods. The law
against trading-stamps may be un-
constitutional, but 1t is moral protest
against the habit of trying to get some
thing for nothing. Moreover, consid-
ering the real value Of the gifts" the
something is usually less than nothing.

Rest in Change.

The next best thing to taking sum-
mer or winter trip is to change the as
pect of ones home twice year. Such
change does not imply domestic up
heaval involving great work, family
discomfort and general wretchedness
for week or more. 1t simply means
what any woman can accomplish with
ease, taste and tactfulness, supplement-
ed by ordinary general cleaning day"
effort on the part Of the housemaid or
aid-of-all-work.
No woman who has not tried 1t can
conceive of the rest and pleasure re-
sulting from such changes. Monotony
is deadly to bodily and mental health;
possibly to spiritual well-being also. A
change of environments, even IL to 9th
ers less attractive, is beneficial, simply
because 1t is a change.-Wom

We are. apt to laugh at Russia for SO
long persisting in the use of. the an
tiQuated calendar which was pre-
scribed by Julius Caesar, and which
is now twelve days behind the calen-
dar In use by other civilized nations,
but Russia is now going not only to fall
In line with the rest Of the world In
her mode of reckoning time, but to take
another important step in advance--a
step from which America, progressive
in most other things, shrinks with all
the timidity Of child urged to take his
first dip in the ocean. Russia has de-
cided to adopt the metric system OF
weights and measures, thus leaving the
United States and Great Britain the
last of civilized nations to retain the
old-fashioned arbitrary method of
weight and mensuration. It has taken
Russia 316 years to adopt the Grego-
rian calendar; let us hope it will not be
quite so long before the United States
adopts the metric system.

TIMES AND MINING.
EAGLE MOUNTAIN.

A correspondent writes to the Times
in regard to Eagle mountain district,
which is second in Importance among
the desert camps to Randsburg. This
district contains an immense amount
Of magnetic and hematite iron, in
Lodges, which is considered good in
dication of gold in large quantities.
The Lodges are large, well-defned, and
in most cases crop out for a great dis
tance. The area embraced in the dis
trict is of volcanic origin, though the
contracts are regular and distinct. The
entire mountain is network of
mineraliZed veins and ore bodies. The
deepest shaft on any of these lodges
is on the Iron Chief, which is now
down something over 200 feet, and all
in ore of high grade. Besides the
main shaft, several drifts and cross
cuts have been run, though no waste
has yet been taken from the mine
About twenty men are at present en-
ployed in the mine. In addition to
those at the mine, small crew of
men are developing water several
miles away. Five eight horse and two
six-horse teams are busy hauling ma
chinery, lumber and water pipe for
this one mine. Twelve carloads of
machinery mad supplies are at Walters
and more coming A sixty-ton cyan
ide plant will be erected at once, and If
sufficient water can be developed a.
larger plant will be added.
The Iron Chief is the only one of the
many iron ledges of the district that
Is being developed, though more work
has been done on it than on any of the
others. Yet the indications on many
are similar to those of the Iron Chief.

The railroads Of the United States
sxpend in a year sum more than $780,
100000 In excess Of the total expendi-
lures of the United States Government,
and this computation does not include
nearly $3.50, 100000 paid In the form Of
interest upon railroad bonds or guar
anteed stock and from $4,000 900 to
800, 100000 paid In the form Of divi-
dends to stockholders. The railroads,
indeed, are the great disbursing agen-
cies OF the country, handling never less
than billion dollars In year and dis
bursting it all. or practically all. for
railroads as a rule do not keep large
bank accounts, and do practically
ash business, turning money rapidly.

The candldAture or Prince George OF
Greece for the governorship of Crete
is striking illustration Of the personal
relations of the reigning houses in
Europe. He wrote letter to his cous-
in. the Emperor Of Russia, asking him
to support his claims. The Emperor
at once adopted him as the Russian
candidate. They are not only cousins,
each being grandson of King Chris
tian TX. Of Denmark. but are also in
innate friends Of nearly the same age.
They were companions in journey
around the world, and Prince George.
by his GOODNESS and courage, had saved
llis cousins life from an assassin's at
tack in Japan. A personal appeal for
support could not be disregarded. The
governorship Of Crete has remained an
unsettled question since the war be-
tween Turkey and Greece. The Euro
pean powers, while pledged to protect
the island, and to reform Its govern
rnent, had been unable to agree upon a
candidate for governor. One name after
another had been proposed, only to be
rejected. The willy Sultan objected on
general principles to every candidate.
When Nicholas III. ordered his minis
ters to propose Prince Georges name,
the significance of the nomination as
the personal choice Of the sovereign
was perceived throughout Europe.
France, as Russia's closest ally, at once
supported the candidature. Lord Sails
bury seconded it gladly, especially as
the Prince was the nephew Of the Prin-
cess of Wales. Italy acquiesced. The
attitude of the Kaiser Is not yet fully
known. Greece had plunged into war
In order to liberate and annex Crete,
and had been disastrously defeated.
The appointment of a son of the King
Of Greece as governor Of Crete would
be considerable victory for the pros
trate little kingdom. The Sultan re-
fused to consent to it, and appealed
to the German Emperor. Russia at
once applied pressure by demanding
the payment of arrears Of interest on
the unpaid war indemnity contracted
by Turkey in the campaigns Of 1878.
Whenever the Sultan is obstinate, he
is forcibly reminded that Turkey owes
Russia a great deal Of money. This
candidature, which will at once do
much to retrieve the fortunes Of
Greece, and will offer practical solu-
ton of troublesome question Of Euro
pean diplomacy, is the outcome of the
intimate relations Of the two cousins,
who were together In the far East. In
the Same way the German Emperor,
in entering upon diplomatic and ma
val campaign in China, commissioned
his brother to visit Queen Victoria at
Osborne. Prince Henry is favorite
among the Queens grandsons, and in
consequence Of his visit more friendly
relations between England and Ger
many have been established. What
eyer may be the rival policies Of Rus
sia and England in China, the family
relations of the two courts tend to pro-
mote compromise and peace. Nicholas
II. has married granddaughter Of the
Queen, and is strongly Influenced by
his mother, who is sister Of the Prin.
cess Of Wales.
