TIE GOLDEN tFI1URE 9

Among the mag .clans and sooths iyers
Of ancient times both the figures nine
and three had q certain amount Of mys-
tsry and sacrsdness attached to them.
and volumes have hesn written In expla-
nation Of their meaning In connection
with the history Of men and the world.
Apropos of this, curious coincidence II
noted In the fact that nearly all the great
mining discoveries Of recent times have
been made in years ending with the
magic figure nine. Thus the famous gold
find In California fell In the year 1919.
Ten years later, In 1859, remarkable dis
ooveries OF the same metal were made ST.
multaneously In Australia and British
Columbia, causing y great rush OF for
tune-hunters to these points. ln 1853 the
famous Comstonk lods find became
known to the world; In 1879 the gold
bearing region around Lesdvflle, and
Tom bstone, Arizona, began to attract at
tsptloH, and In 1859 the diggings al
Glover creek and In 10 yer California be-
came the objective points Of great multi
tudes of excited and anxious seekers
after sudden wealth. And now again, at
the end Of another decade. history repeats
itsslf once more. The remarkable gold
tinds recently made at Caps Nome, sur
passing In richness and extent anything
yet discovered in the Yukon district, bid
fair to make this year 1899 as notable a.
any In the annals Of gold mining.

AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Formed BY the High school Girls OF a
Chicago suburb.


Good things can come out OF Evsnston /,
as we might naturally expect of that Chi
cago suburb which was the home Of Miss
Willard Tor many years, and one OF the
more re cent good things is the formation
BY Evanston high school girls Of an anti
Cigarette league, to discourage the use OF
cigarettes among the boys of their 40
quaintsnce. This league has the entire
sympathy of Prof. Boitwood Of the high
school. for be Is fully convinced that tie
cigarette Is the enemy Of education and
manhood. He said, at Sunday evening
meeting held not long ago for the con-
sideration Of this subjsct, that Evanst,n
used to have one Of the best football
teams Of any high school In the country.
but that this year the football team Is q
complete failure, and 10 lie largely because
Of cigarettes. 81 have noticed" he said,
"boys who have come into the school
bright, INTELLIGENT pupils. and have seen
them begin to fail until finally they were
unable TO carry their work and have left
school complete failures. Nine out Of
tan of these cases have found have had
their origin in cigarettes Their USE dulls
the powers of perception, weaksns the
faculties and d,aily underminss their
bodily strength also. A physician told
me lately that he had this year attended
IL Evanston boys under 10 years Of age
who are afflicted with heart trouble, and
that every case was due to the excessive
use Of these white coffin nails, as they
have been called. There are also thrss
times a. many high school pupils who
use tobacco now rs there were few
ears ago.
Rev. Wallace R. Strubls made an sd-
DIRE So at the same meeting. and he said
that there Ia firm on Jefferson street

seen THESE little gutter snipes dodging
along tins sidewalks and searching in the
cutters for cigar stubs, and as We looked
at the doubly -defiled remnants Of NATL
ness which they pouncsd on here and
there, and dropped into little baskets
hanging on their arms, We have
wondered what disrsputsbls uss could be
name OF such oastaway and trodden-un-
der-foot tobacco. Mir. Struble says that
IL Is ground up and made into cigarsttes.
and he holds that tobacco which has been
In the mouths of others and has lain In
tbs filth Of cutters and cuspidors Is re-
| sponsibis, IN part. for the SPREAD Of dis
eases such as cancer and consumption.
But. however this may be. even new
tobacco when made into cigArsttes and
used by boys has u very bad effect, nd
high school girls and all other self-re-
spscting girls do well to sst themselves
against its use. They should not admit
n liking for the odor OF tobacco, they
should net give presents which are con-
nectsd with its use, and IN ways which
girls know very we'll how to employ they
should discountenanos the use Of n weed
