Cost of Living Abroad.

An investigation into the compara-
tive cost of living at the various Eu-
ropean capitals resulted in the follow
ing facts: At Vienna the prices of most
articles of food are lowest At Madrid
they are dearer than in any other CAPT
tai, and such things as bread, meat,
sugar and coal are very expensive in
deed At st. Petersburg also the price
of bread is still considered luxury
above the means of the working class.

expensive city; Paris is little higher
In the scale, while London is still more
expensive.
An American spends on an average
$50 a year for food, a Ffenehman $48

old Handles on New UmbreIIa.

ut is not unusual" said an umbrella
dealer, ''for a person to use the same
handle on more than one umbrella,
having it shifted from a wOrnOut um-
brella to a new one. The handle thus
shifted might be a valuable one. too
costly to throw away, or it might be an
inexpensive one that just suited the
carrier. Many people are particular
about the handle of an umbrella, as to
its size and shape. and thus want one
that just suits them if they can get it.
They may run across such an umbrella
and buy it, or they may search for il
aRd find it, and when the umbrella 20
which it is attached wears out then
very likely they have the handle of the
new umbrella that they buy taken of
and the old handle. that they like. sub,

Left In the Cars.

I once heard Artemus Ward tell an
audience that he had gifts of oratory.
but didn't happen to have them with
him that evening. suppose most peo-
pie flatter themselves that they have
fairly good memories. Perhaps they
have, but the lost parcel room of tho
elevated railroad goes far to indicate
that they don't have their memories
with them when they travel. l asked
the lost parcel clerk yesterday how
many things were left in the cars: He
said that the average is about 1J0
pieces a day, of one sort and another.
While l was talking to him a gentle
man was waiting to see if a pair of
roller skates, which his little girl had
left in the cars last week. had turned
up. 1t turned out that they had turned
up.-New York Mail and Express

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Mass, Aug 23.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow: Although the tone of the wool
market is somewhat Guleter, there has
been fair business in progress during
the past week, with indications at this
writing of an improved demand in the i'm
mediate future. A few houses report
large sales, and those who 90 not state
that there has been considerable looking
around, the result of which has been the
taking of quite number of sample bags,
which will very likely materalize into
considerable business in the course of the
next week or two.
Stocks of foreign goods have been pref
ty well worked UP and with a practical
cessation of importatons manufacturers
have got the market to themselves better
than at any time since 1892 and at no
time since then has the outlook seemed
better. Prices continue steady. The
sales of the week in Boston amounted to
44i5,000 pounds domestic and AS, 900
pounds foreign, making a total of 4,490 900
pounds against a total of 5,946,O 900 pounds
for the previous week and a total of g.
62i6o0 pounds for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since January l. 1899
amount to $50, 100000 pounds against H.
0lS,olo pounds last year at this time.

Rings Are Always the Same.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Although many jewelers. advertise
something new in rings" the fact re-
mains that they are but slight varia-
tons of the styles in vogue at the time
Moses piloted the children of Israel
out of the bondage of Egypt. Rings are
alluded to in the Bible. in the book of
Genesis and Exodus. They have been
found among the relics of prehistoric
races, the stone age, the bronze age
and the age of the mound builders.
Herodotus mentions that the Babylon
ians wore them, and from Asia they
probably were introduced into Greece.
The rings worn in early times were
not purely ornamental, but had their
significance as signet rings. A king $
messenger delivering a message and
exhibiting the kings signet authority
was obeyed implicitly. The Romans
had a marriage ring of iron with jewel
of adamant, signifying eternity and
COnstancy. History mentions a magic
ring possessed by King Solomon, of
which the Jews and Mohammedans
have abundant traditions. 1t was by
means of this ring as a tailsman Of
wisdom and power that Solomon was
enabled to perform those wonderful
acts and accomplish those vast enter
prises that have made his name so cele-
brated as the wisest monarch of the
earth The later Romans wore pro-
fusion of rings, and the more effemin-
ate had rings for winter and summer.

BURIED UNDER A FALL
Simon T. Morse Killed in a Mis-
soula Gulch Placer Pit.
DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION
His Daughter Was With Him When the
Accident Occurred-Life Was Ex-
tinct When the Body Was
Recovered.

simon T. Morse, aged 50 years, was
buried under a cave of loose earth in a
placer pit in Mssoula gulch yesterday.
Morse had been working for some time
drifting and stripping" in the old Dig
gings, and in this way managed to
make living for his family. Yester-
day his 4-year-old daughter was with
him. She was standing at a point about
40 feet from the bank of earth under
which her father was working The
bank was about Il feet high and it is
supposed that the recent rains had
loosened the ordinarily we'll packed and
secure embankment. Tie cirl saw the
ground give way and her father buried
under great weight. She screamed,
and at once started to shovel the earth
away, but made slow progress.
man, whose name was not learned
last evening. happened along that way
and, attracted by the girls screams,
ran to her assistance. Before he reached
tie scene the girl said she heard her
father say: Hurry up, | am almost
gone" He said no more. After a few
minutes another came along and he as
sisted in the work of rescue. When the
body was recovered life was extinct. In
the meantime DIR. Schwartz had been
telephoned for, but his services were not
required. The little girl was so agi-
tated that she was unable to say about
how long her father had been under the
cave before assistance arrived, but it is
probable that 10 or u minutes elapsed
between the time the bank fell and that
of recovery.
The man was evidently suffocated.
There We're no marks or bruises on the
body. The remains were removed to
Richards undertaking rooms, where
the inquest will be held this afternoon
at 8 O'Clock.
Mr. Morse's wife, a son and two
daughters came to Butte two years ago
from Iowa. For a time he operated a
large telescope on street corners and in
this way made few dollars by charg-
ing small sum for looking at the
stars. He also worked at painting and
paper hanging. 1t is understood that
the family is left in straitened circum-
stances,

EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS.
No Warship Could Have Lived in Range
of This shell.

of This she'll.
New York, Aug. 23.-At the Sandy
Hook proving grounds to-day an ex-
pertinent was made with a dynamite
shell, which tended to prove that if 1t
had struck battleship the latter
would have been sunk. The expert
ment was one of those ordered by the
board of ordnance and Notifications,
and took place in the presence of the
members of the board, Major Heath,
who is in charge Of the defenses at
Sandy Hook, and Willard s. Isham,
the inventor of the projectile. The
shell, made from about 900 pounds of
cast iron carrying a bursting charge
OF l2912 pounds of explosive gelatine,
was fired from an ordinary 12-inch
rifle mounted on an improvised car
riage behind a shield. The charge used
for firing it was composed of common
brown prismatic powder.
About geo feet in front of the gun a
piece of Harveyized sttel, IL inches
thick and specially treated, was placed
at an angle of As degrees to the line OF
fire. Behind it was a thick backing of
oak and behind the oak was a small
mountain of sand. the whole calculated
to be stronger than a battleship's side.
The shell struck and exploded with a
terrific report. The steel target was
blown clear off the oak backing and
lay 700 feet to one side and at right
angles to the line the shot had fol-
lowed. Part of the oak backing and
the sand behind it were blown away.
Only about four pounds of steel frag
ments of the shell were found.
Members of the board expressed sat-
isfaction with the experiment. The
most destructive explosive known was
used in the shell. 1t was composed OF
so per cent nitro lycerine, s per cent
of gun cotton and 4 per cent of cam
phor. 1t is estimated to be % per cent
more powerful than No. 1 dynamite.
