Scarcity of Tin Ore.
From the Youths Companion.


The area Of the ore IielIs of tin has re-
Gently been examined. The extent is sur
prisingly small. To show this the area
nay be compared with that of the gold
fields of the world. The latter are over
130 times the extent of the tin fields. The
great source is in the East Indies the
Straits settlements. The Cornish tin mines
In Ems gland, while very much smale than
the Straits or Eanca mines. occupy a very
important place. 1t would seem as If the
rapid reduction in prjco Of alu1niriun
might go to diminish the need for tin IN
the near future.

Poor ma commenced to cry.
But when l told pa how it was
He clapped his hands for joy,
And told me I'd done bully, cause
Once he had been Il boy.
Boys will be boys l heard him saw:
They won't be otherwise
And the one that learns to fight his way
Is the one that wins the prize.
When ] was his age tightin' was

But ma, she kept on cryin', cause
She never was boy.

When ma was small | S pose she was
Red-cheeked and sweet and coy
But Oh the fun that missed her cause

For the Entire Family /.

Although the leading object of Farm and
Home, which our readers may procure in
connection with this paper, is, of course, to
acquaint the cutivator of the soil with the
best methods of farming, it realizes that the
success of the farm largely depends upon
the management of the household Accord
ingly, much valuable space in each issue is
devoted to the wife, mother and daughters,
not forgetting the boys and girls, who are
soon to become-at least we hope they are
farmers and farmers wives. Replete each
issue with great variety of original arti-
cles on the farm, garden and household, by
the leading rural writers of the day, Farm
and Home is not only Indispensable to the
farmer but meets the requirements of the
entire family. We cordially recommend it
as pure in tone and we'll devised to instruct
and entertain the farmer and his family.

A new "Gibson GIRL" drawn by the
famous society artist, c. d. Gibson, will
make her debut in print as the cover de-
sign for the February Ladies' Home Jour
nal. The new ''girr' is the artists own
little daughter who, at one year of age,
will be shown as drawn by her clever
father. The legend under the picture is
"My Valentine"
The January number of the Comso-
polltan, in an article on some society
tableaux, mentions several well known
Bar HarbOr summer residents. The tab
leaux referred to were those given in New
York in 1875 for tn. purpose of raising
money to defray the expense of enter
tanning celebrities who would be present
at the Centennial festivities. They were
gotten up by the members of the "foul
hundred. Among those whose portraits
in costume are given in the Cosmopolitan,
are Mrs. Mary Rawle Jones and Miss
Edith May, now Mrs. Wu. C. Whitney
The former represented Russia, the latter
Ireland, in tableau typifying the vari-
Gus countries of the world.
In series of articles on New England
cities and towns now appearing in the
New England Magazine, the three princi-
pal manufacturing centres-Lawrence
Lowell and Fall River-are included, and
IN the January number of the magazine
the city of Lawrence receives treatment.
The story Gifts founding, of the establish
lpent of the mills and the busy life there

Rev. George H. Young of Lawrence. He
shows the rapid growth of the city and
directs intelligent attention to its varying
industries. paying tribute to those who
have been prominent in the various
phases of its public life. The score or

consist of about fifteen or twenty fresh,
unpublished stories and anecdotes string
together, each anecdote showing some
characteristic trait or presenting a iif-
ferent side of the subject. The idea is to
show famous personalities through their
own doings and sayings, and to maze
these articles accurate the relatives aid
closest personal friends of the subiec;s

the best stories and anecdotes within their
own knowledge. Each article will thus
represent the closest view Of the one
sketched. No authorship will be attach
