Drili Men In Demand.

diamond drill men been in such demand
as now. Many drills are being set at
work ,n explorations in all the iron

American Steel Il Wire company, are

many other mining companies nna
explorers are using drills in looking Tor
ore deposits Manufacturers OF drills
ntc crowded with orders and are no
longer able to supply them on short
notice. Orders placed two and three
mouths ago have not yet been filled IN
many eases. The increased use OF Il 0
diamond drill in this section lattctly
has caused many of the old-tilne drill
men to return. Sumo have come back
from South Africa while others have
returned from all parts of the western
country. No drill man need be idle and
il said they are in such demand just now
| that Inducements in the way oiaddition-

companies to secure them.

nIade Some Queer wagers.


Gen, Francis V. Greenes story OF
the queer bet made by officers at Get

troit, several years ago, bet he could
hold his head submerged in bathtub
for 125 seconds without taking air. He
won.
In Philadelphia some years ago a
gentleman made wager of 800 that
he could jump into water eight feet
deep and undress himself complete.

You need not so to Numidia to get
many lions. You all have them after
you--the lion OF financial distress, the
lion OF sickness, the lion of persecu-
ton. You saw that lion OF financial
panic putting his mouth down to the
earth, and he roared until all the
banks and all the insurance companies
quaked. With his nostril he scattered
the ashes ON the domestic hearth. You
have had trial after trial. misfortune
after misfortune, lion after lion, and
yet they have never hurt you The
Persians used to think that spring
rain falling into sea shells would
turn into pearls, and I have to tell
you that the tears OF sorrow turn into
precious gems when they drop into
Gods bottle. You need be afraid OF
nothing, putting your trust in God.
Even death, that monster lion, whose
den is the worlds sepulchor. and who
puts his paw down amid thousands OF
millions OF the dead. cannot alright
you. When in olden times n man was
to get the honors of knighthood, he
was compelled to go fully armed the
night before among the tombs of the
dead, carrying sort of spear. and
then when the day broke he would
como forth, and, amid the sound OF
cornet and great parade, he would get
the honors OF knighthood. And SO it
will be with the Christian in the night
before heaven, rs, fully armed with
spear and helmet of salvation, he will
wait and watch through the darkness
until the morning dawns and then he
will take the honors OF heaven amid
that great throng with snowy robes,
streaming over seas OF sapphire.

other things they collected $50 bull
frogs. They were unable to stand the
voyage to this country, and the seven
that survived are now at the univer-
sity in an emaciated condition. This
Jamaica product is not real bullfrog,
but toad. They were brought to
Jamaica from Barbados under the
impression that they would kill rats.
This was found to be a mistake, and
the toad remained and is now quite
common. They are of dark brown
color, with body the size of a large
bullfrog, but with short legs like q
toad and are not edible. Like all
toads, they are not aquatic. A hand

Contrasting earlier campaigns with
those Of more recent years, it is pos
sible to discern a decided Improvement
in the relative Importance of what
may be called the spectacular ele-
ments. The torchlight procession, the
wholesale illumination of the houses
of partisans on the occasions of such
a procession, the organization Of bod

these things are plainly less congen-
ial to our people at the end of the
century than they were in its middle.

the civil war. They are essentially
childish, and the nation is discarding
them as it grows older. Instead of
fuss and feathers" the influence of
serious and er-1ninded appeals to
the reason is evidently growing. The
masses still go TO ''see free show"
in fact, they go in greater numbers
than ever, as the growing facilities of
communication render the gathering
Of vast crowds easier, but they regard
it only in the light of performance

CHAPTER VI.

Who had killed Leonard BarloweI
For days Mollie pondered over this
question. aud another one that would
keep coming back to her-had the Du-
bois any private knowledged that mad

must have known more OF Mr.. Bar
lowe. his past life and enemies, than
any outsider could possibly do. Henri
had hated his uncle, she knew, YET
surely he had had no hand in sending
him out of the world; that could not
be the meaning of madame's wild
words! That he was co!d-bloodeo
and cynical to degree about every
thing save himself was clear; but 1t
was incredible that he could have COM
mitted such a crime undetected: De-
sides. Kate said that he had been in
London at the time.
She thrust the thought from her,
and determined to try and think no
evil-a good resolution put to very
hard test when she discovered that
her freedom was gone, and that mad
ame was always making sighting re-
marks upon the Anstruthers, implying
that Mrs. Anstruther was worloly
mother. who had engaged her daugh-
ter to a rich, man, and was now seek
ing an heiress for her son. ABOUT
this latter, indeed, she shook her head
ominously; she had heard tales OF nm
--he was a terrible fiirt. or worse.
1t was in vain Mollie protested hot
ly that the young naval officer to whom
Joyce was engaged was far from rlch;
that she had never heard a word
against Reggie, that Mrs. Anstruther
was kindness itself and had loved her
mother, Madame nodded her hand
some dark head mysteriously, and said
her dear Mollie was very young and
innocent, and all young men were not
like Henri, so good and wise and trust
worthy. Certainly she had plenty OF
opportunity of discovering these viz
tues in Henri, had they existed for he
spent the greater part OF his time
hanging about her, and she grew
heartily tired of him and the tales OF
his gay Partisan life.

thought YEARLY. Why did ho stay
on here, rolling his black eyes at her
sentimentally, and pretending that
Reverton was now more to him than
Paris?

thought wrathfully, when he had ac-
companied her to the Anstruthers, and
kept so close to her that she had been
unable to have the good grumble to
Joyce that would have relieved her
pent-up feelings. ooh, this hateful
money! My mothers life was ruined
for it, and they would ruin mine. But

DEATH OF w. G.. WAIT.
Weu-known Planter Passes Away
ii Mexico.

William G. Wait, formerly manager
pany Of Kona, Hawaii, died recently in
Mexico.
Mr.. Wait left the islands about three
years ago, and settled in Southern Cal
ifornia, but his - attention was soon
drawn to the possibilities of tropical
agriculture in Mexico. On going down
and looking the field over he was so
impressed with the outlook for the Gull
tivation of rubber, that he returned to
San Francisco, organized a company
for planting of rubber and other agri-
cultural products, and soon went back
to Mexico, and began active operation
of opening up a large plantation. BY
the end of six months he had accom-
plished so much, and given such gen
eral satisfaction, that he was appointed
general manager OF two adjoining plan
tations.
He had several attacks of the tropical
fever, but counted on his fine constitu-
ton to pull him through all right.
While planning for and looking for
ward to his summer vacation he was
stricken down with bilious fever and
died after an illness of six days.
He was a man of marked ability and
attainment in many lines; only SO
years of age, and had brilliant future
before him. He left a wife and one lit
tie boy, to whom his death was a sad
blow, as it was also to the companies
by whom he was employed.

Enormous INDEMNIFY Taken by the
Vlctors of 1879.

NEW YORK, July 10.-A despatch to
the Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Garland's new pamphlet, treating OF
the war indemnity collected by Chill
from Peru and Bolivia since 1879, has
made a deep impression here.
Figures are given which show that
by 1885 Chill will have received for nj
trate and iodine from the Peruvian
province of Tarapaca twentyrhree
hundred and fifty million CHILEAN dol
lars, and from Bolivia six hundred and
fifty million dollars.
Thus the war indemnity paid to Chill
will reach three thousand million dol
lars-a greater sum than France paid
to Germany.
