Growing Matches.

The Belgian artisan spends his lei
sure in very curious manner. He
keeps special cock for Growing, and
the bird which can outcrow its fellows
has reached the highest pinnacle of
perfection. The mode of operation is
to place the cages containing the roost-
ers in long rows, for it appears that
one bird sets the other off growing. A
marker appointed by the organizers Of
the show is told off for each bird, his
duty being to note carefully the num-
Der of crows for which it is responsible

airy duration of the match is one hour,
the winner being the bird which scores
the highest number of crows in the al

competitions have taken place in the
Liege district, and in some cases heavy
bets have been made on the result

Curious Mexican Laws.

They have some very curious crimi-
nal laws in Mexico. For instance, it is
twice as much of an offense to mutt
late the face of woman as that of
man. The law seems to be based on
the idea that a woman's best posses
sion is her beauty and that to mar it
does her great injury.
There is another curious law. If a
person should be wounded in an en-
counter, the punishment to the offend
err is fixed by the number of days his
victim has to stay in the hospital or
under Doctors care. A line is fixed
at 40 days in the way of general divi-
sion. If the injured man occupies more
than 40 days in his recovery, the pen
atty doubles up.

centuries and sometimes grow as big
as a mans head. In Germany the old

The North Star and st. Eugene mines
are preparing to ship over the new
Burlington branch which connects the
Great Northern with the Canadian Pa
cific. The North Star formerly ship
ped its ore by boat down the river, but
to do this it was necessary to have all
the ore sacked, as it had to be trans
ferred. Lately the mines have not
been shipping, but it is stated that
they will begin at once.
Reports from Franklin, the new camp
on the East fork of the North fork 60
miles from Grand Forks, are to the eff
feet that a great deal of development
work has been done during the winter
months. On the Banner, a rich gold
copper claim, bonded last fall by Henry
White, the locator of the Knob Hill and
Old Ironsides tunnel has been driven
$50 feet to catch the lead. The work
is still in progress. The assay values
obtained from Franklin camp are the
highest ever obtained in this district.
A big influx is expected there in the
spring.

Everybody Plays the Guitar.

In Portugal men play upon the guitar
as naturally as Yankees whistle. The
peasants are universally given to the
instrument. chiefly as an accompani-
ment to the voice. In towns and VIII
lagos the artisans are often eXpey
guitar players and walk In groups b
and from their work, enlivening thu
journey with music and song The can
penter who comes to your house to exc.
cute small job brings his guitar with
his tools and the blacksmith is a far
better performer on the guitar than the
anvil.
When Portuguese day laborer or
workman has finished his long days
toll he does not HE him to a wine shop
to squander the few cents he has
earned; he does not even lean against
a post and smoke, nor whittle a stick
while swapping yarns with his fellows,
If he did not bring his guitar with him
he goes straight home and gets it, rests
and comforts himself with the music
while supper is being prepared. After
ward he spends the evening singing
doggerel songs to a strumping accom-
paniment tilted back in chair against
his own house wall or on the doorstep
of a neighbor.

gentleman coming in late and making
IA great noise with his creaking boots.
The speaker stopped and stared as
usual at the intruder, who seemed not
to be in the least conscious that all
eyes were upon him.
At length, getting out Of patience,
the lecturer remarked, Jelly:

Apparently quite unmoved, the Of

down, he turned to the lecturer with a
charming smile, and said:

REPUBLIC.

The new Mountain Lion mill is now
fully equipped
Inc Princess Maude is fast proving
itself a great mine. Seventy feet the
drift has run through high grade ore.
The machinery for the Chico COM
pressor has not yet arrived and it is
uncertain when it will. The roads are
getting worse every day.
The Insurgent shaft is making good
progress. 1t has been sunk about so
feet under the new management. The
assay values are about $50 per ton.
In the Morning Glory indications of
wedge-shaped pay shoot, big end down
prevail, assays for four days as shown
at company's office average over 5000.
There is three and one half feet of
ore in the Wine of the San Poll
There is no perceptible change in val
ues. 1t goes about $50 per ton. Six
men are employed.
Big mine in Belcher, a district ten
miles east of Republic camp. Veins
said to be of great width, with ship
ping values plentiful in copper. gold.

showing up under steady work.
There is six feet of ore in the Black
Tail drift. 1t is rich. From a relia-
BILE source it is learned that the assays
of this ore body for 80 days past have
averaged $50 per ton. This is a con-
sentative estimate. There is pay
streak which goes much higher.
Excellent progress is being made on
the double compartment shaft on the
Tom Thumb. The ledge in the south
drift maintains it's width and the val
ues have not in any wise diminished.
Every foot of development confirms
the predictions that have been made
that it would become a great mine.
The development on the Quilp con-
tinues as rapidly as is possible with
out the aid of machinery. The mine
never looked better and at no time have
the average values been larger. There
is considerable porphyry scattered
through the quartz, but the quartz will
undoubtedly soon come in larger bodies
and will be less mixed through the por-
phyry.

Washington.-The war department has
received a report from the sanitary corps
which has been making census of Ma
Mia. 1t places the population actually
living in houses within the police district
at 100000. The territory included in this
census does not embrace the suburban
district or take into account people living
in bancos or those who are inmates of
converts and seminaries. The Chinese pop
ulation was turned in as 1852. This is
said to be far out of the way. 1t is esti-
mated that at least $4,000 Chinese live
in the city.

st. Patrick in London.

London, March l9.-Most of the gov
eminent offices hoisted the Irish flag Sat
mday and the clubs were similarly dec
grated, the officials all wearing the green,
in honor of st. Patrick.
In the churches the preachers referred
to the occasion, thanking Providence that
the English had learned to love and re-
spect their Irish fellows, just as if they
never knew them or respected them be-
fore. The lord chief justice Lord Russell,
set the example in the law courts and all
the judges followed his example of wearing
the shamrock below their ermine collars.
The theaters were all prepared to mark
the day in the same way tonight.
On the stock exchange great enthusi-
asm was shown in celebrating the day.
The shamrock was everywhere and there
was more toasting of healths than work.
AS result prices were better, though
nobody knows why.
