PiOus Chinese.
(FrOm Leslie's MOnthly,)

Nrfui Lc-liS MoHlnit)
Independence day reminds me-" said
the missionary from China, "of the most
encouraging and the most disillusionizing
experience in my life. 1 had Iabored
hard in the work of converting the Chi
nese TO Christianity, and there was un-
feigned rejoicing among all the missions
of China and the churches in America
when the demand for Bibles on the part
of our converts eliminated in orders for
81 900 Bibles in one shipment.
"The remarkable number of new Chris
tians thus indicated. while it oecasioned
much thankfulness in America, caused
the heads of the missionary associations
to set on foot an enquiry as to the methods
employed in saving the souls OF such an
unusual number of Celestials. and the uses
to which they put the Bibles sent them.
You may not know that in China the
majority OF the firecrackers with which we
celebrate our day of national independence
are made by the Chinese in their homes.
Contractors for fireworks give each man
certain amount of powder and that must
be made into a given number of crackers.
The paper used in the manufacture he buys
himself-and paper is not cheap COM
modify in China. The powder furnished
seldom fills the required number of crack
ers, but that does not disturb the Celes-
tial in the least; he turns In his quota all
the same, and the American boy in con-
sequence invariably finds in each pack
age of fireerackers a few that won't go
off,
81 discovered that Yankee thrift had
been absorbed by the heather Chinee with
much more readiness than Yankee morals
In contributing his labor toward our festi-
val occasions he hit upon an expedfent
whereby a considerable profit accrued to
himself. In other words, our great ship
ment of s4.000 Bibles had literally gone
up in smoke. They We're to be had for
the asking and the Celestial conscience
seems never to have suffered a pang as
to their disposal for firecracker wrappers.

The present situation of Metropolitan

ground that its charter does not authorize
1t 1t has been understood that the COM
pany would have an immense surplus OF
power with its new power house, and that
it expected to make the sale of the electric
current yield large revenue. Whatever
the outcome of the suit is to be, its pen
dency seems likely to have bad effect on

are not of a nature to fill spectators with

 That had big umbrella. She took my arm. The rain come Sich floods as I'd seen never. q wished it wuz ten miles to town, Am rainin' 50 for6ver!) I think she wondered that ere day How she had lived without me! a I thanked the blizzard all the way That blewed her curls about me. An when we landed at the door, The talk-she did begin it: ''I wish," says she, 'twOuld rain some
 more,
 An you an me wuz in it!' I didn't need no hint but that
 In any sort O weather! I knocked the rain from off my hat An in we walked together. An fore left I said the word Fer I'm hustlin' feller- She1 be my wife. We'll go through life Beneath one dear umbrella. -F. L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution.

in Arizona are many copper properties
 which only require development to
 make them producers
 The demand for copper mines in the east and in England is something ex-
 traordinary as compafsd with two years ago. The explanation of it lies in the simple fact that the consumption of copper continues to be in excess of the supply, and to meet this increased demand it will be necessary to increase the production of the producing mines and to open up new ones. It will be found that Arizona, more than any other section of this country, will be called upon to meet the demand, and | there is every reason to believe that it will be able to do sO-to some extent at least.
 James Douglas, president of the Cop per Queen Mining company of Arizona, in fable furnished an eastern paper, shows that Arizona has increased it's copper production from 43773, CTS pounds in 1893, to III ,183, 1g9 pounds in 1898. On this subject he says: ''Ari- zOna'S great prominence among the three great producing sections of this country is due to the utilization in, her principal mines during late years of sulphide ores. As long as operations were confined to the treatment of oXi- QIZeQ ores they were limited. not only by the comparatively scanty supply of that class of ores, and their inevitable exhaustion at no very distant date. but by reluctance to incur the waste Of 11a to 21a per cent of copper in the slags, which loss seemed to be unavoidable under the most expert management when making copper direct by one fu- sion in the cupola. The oxidized ores were most plentiful in the southern groups of mines, where the ore oc- CUTS ill limestone or associated with limestone
 The net profits Of the Copper Queen company last year are reported to have been over $2,000,0 GOO.
 Another instance of the demand for copper properties can be cited in the case of the Black Warrior mines, near Globe, Ariz. James A. Fleming, the principal owner of them, wanted more money for development work and went | to New York. to get it. He was offered $75O,000 for the entire property and is | credited with saying that he could | easily have got $1,000, GOO for it, but he would only sell one-fourth inter- est.
