WHEN TEA AND COFFEE WERa
LJJXJURIFS.


Social history shows how the luxury
Of one generation has become the ne
cezsity Of the next. simply because in
diyiduals were bold enough to defy the
judgments passed on their luxurious
expenditure. These pioneers decided,
and as the event showed rightly that
the article in question satisfied some
permanent and deep-rooted desire.
They may have been animated by no
lofty motive of promoting civilization,
but. as Adam Smith said, men are Of
ten led by an invisible hand to promote
an end which was no part of their in
|tention.' The desire which the article
satisfied, with what appeared to be a
dlsproportionate sacrifice, turned out
10 be a widespread desire and machin-
cry Of production was adapted accord
ingly On the other hand, experience
has shown and common sense teaches
that certain luxuries satisfy no wide
spread desire that ought to be salts
fed.
The Roman epicure who entertained
his friends with dish Of the tongues
OF birds which had been taught tc
speak was criminally luxurious, be-
cause no qualification Of vanity cou,d
justify such an expenditure and con-
sumption of human energy. The socia'
conscience must condemn such ex-
penditures at all times, and the mere
fact that they have become more com
mon does not detract from their culpa'
bility. 1t is. perhaps, the exception fol
luxury to become a necessity. In 81
far as the consumption panders only tC
vanity and a desire for ostentaticn Il
cannot become a necessary Of life, al
though vanity may remain one of tn
strongest human motives. Yet the frs
tea drinkers and the first Tobacco
smokers have. perhaps, proved them
selves benefacsors Of their species, b.
cause they braved the ignorant con
demnation of their own generation

GOLD MINING in SIBERIA.

Our correspondent at Odesea sends
some notes Of a conversation with a
wealth from Tomsk, the chief centre
wwealth from Tomsz, the chief centre
Of the gold producing district.
He predicts great future for gold
mining in Siberia, as he AYERS the sur
face has SO far only been scratched.
Prospecting has increased with such
remarkable rapidity that towns are
springing up like mushrooms and the
population Is increasing by leaps and
bounds.
The government sipu.ates that all
gold gathered be assayed at It's Of
hces, placed at convenient centres, and
that 10 per cent, Of the net proceeds
go to the crown, but otherwise every
one, including foreigners, has abso-
lutte freedom TO work his claim just as
1t pleases him.
Up TO the present only very primi-
tive methods have been employed by
the majorlty of prospectors, but now
THANKS to the energetic action and
laudable enterprise OF the Russion gov
ernment. a new gold mining era has
begun.
In South Siberia, my Informant told
me, gold digging is carried on under
most favorable conditions The cli
mate, as compared with the northern
provinces. Is mild, and operations may
be pursued all the year around.
The Khlrghese, who roam about OF
the boundless steppes there. living II
tents and subsisting on the mos
scanty fare. make first-class worlhmen
They are content with very small pay
often not more than Cd. per dayl
On the ether hand, in Northern 81
beria the requirements Of the work
people are infinitely greater. In eH
treme northern latltudes 1t is Gu:
tomary to light big bonhres and THAI
the ground in the Winter The wor
is very hborious with the antiquate
implements at the disposal OF IN
miners. It is only when Spring come
round that the great heaps of eari
which have accumulated during tn
Winters operations are washed and tn
precious metal extracted.
Foreigners" said my friend, "as
rule succeed better than the Russians
because they bring technical knowl
edge to bear upon their work, wherea
the Russian is ignorant Of the mos
elementary principles of god mining
and Is at a great disavantage com
pared with the Belgians and German
there, who do their work systematical

mated II any Republican county ticket
had been brought out IN which he de-
clares that under no circumstances Will
he be q candidate. He also says that
under existing conditions no Republic

The present indication is that there

county officers, though there IS q sus-
picion that the present negro register
Of deeds may be an Individual condi-
date, but that his ticket win not be
made until the morning of the election.

next Tuesday should be over 200. As
these 200 votes would probably elect Il
Democratic state senators and the
