The Prince of WaIe., Income

The truth is that from the moment
of his birth the prince of Wales has
been splendidly rich. He was born,
as the Irishman would say, with
100000 a year in his pocket, and
from that day to this the duchy of
Cornwall has yielded him that mag
nificent sum. At 90 the prince mar
ried, and parliament gave him Marl-
borough house and wedding present
of 100000 a year. That, too, has
come to him regularly since 1863,
year in and year out. In 1889, when
the princes family ran away with
his money, parliament once more
came to his aid and nearly doubled
the grant he had received since 1869.
From 1889 the prince has been re-
lieved of the anxieties of father
for the financial welfare of his chill
dren by a special grant of 6 10000 q
year, which comes to him in quarter
ly installments of 10000. So that the
public income of the prince is $780,
0O0 a year. That is what it is worth
to be prince of Wales.-Temple Mapa~

DRAINING A MEXICAN MINE,
American Enterprise Completing q
Work Planned by Humboldt
Many Years Ago.

An interesting mining opera ton is
being completed in the Guanjuate dis.
trict, famous as the richest mining ter.
ritory in Mexico, in unwatering the
Sirena gold mine, which. after being
worked by the Mexicans since the year
1850, has been flooded and abandoned
ever since the Mexican war of inde.
pendence in 1922. There are at least
nine miles of workings in the old mine
and it has taken two years labor with
powerful electric pumps to remove the
water already in the workings and to
fight the incoming flow. 1t was /. .OpG
feet deep when the work began. Now
it is less than 400 feet, says the New
York Sun.
Just how much of the workings re.
mains to be uncovered and what there
is in and beyond them no one knows,
Record-keeping and chart-makine
were done in very primitive fashion by
the old Mexican miners. As the clear.
ing of the mine has prospered curious
relics have come to light. In one place,
far below the water level, the explorers
came upon stable half full of skeie.
tons of mules and men who had been
caught there by the rising flood. Life
is cheap in Mexico. and no one could b,
found who remembered ever having
heard that anybody had been missed in
the mine.
The Sirenafis the first of the old mines
in the district to be unwatered, The
project is carried out by New York
company. and it indicates that the new
channel in which modern mining meth.
DDS in the old district run. The com.
pany counts on making an immediate
profit by going over the old working.
and treating the ore out of which the
Mexican miners with their mule power
and hand labor could obtain no paving
results. Electricityis being used where
mule power failed, and when the water
is all out of the mine the workings will
be driven deeper than the Mexicans
could ever have dreamed of operating
them.
The same method is now being un.
dertaken in other parts of the district.
A German syndicate has acquired the
famous Valenciana mine in the same
vein, out of which many millions have
been taken by the Mexicans. Another
mine in the Veta Madre vein, which
runs through the district, yielded the
king of Spain $17,oOo,Ooo in royalties.
The unwatering of the mines has been
discussed since the time of Humboldt,
who had project for doing it by driv-
ing tunnel 12 miles long into the vein,
but it is only now that American enter
prise has given start to the work.

The London Pail Mall Gazette'a
Paris correspondent writes: "a mo-
mentous decision-in appearance-has
been taken by the chamber in a casual
kind Of way. The manufacture and
sale OF absinthe and the other decoc-
lions that go by the name OF appetite
ers are to be forbidden in France. Such,
at any rate. is the purport of an
amendment tackled on to the Drink
bill that has just been voted. The
government is invited to issue a de-
cree tabooing all drink of which the
consumption, IL the opinion of the
Academy of Medicine, Is a danger to
the public health. The realization OF
this revolutionary measure, of which
the author was. very fttingly, a So
ciaiist. is, of course. impracticable. The
government will quietly ignore the in
vitation they have received, and the
chamber will have sufficient sense to
forget Its bootless vote. Not. indeed,
that there is not much to be said for
the measure in itself, but to suppress
the practice of drinking aperitifs by
stroke of the pen is az feasible as It
wouSi be to abolish smoking by royal
proclamation. During the past
twenty years the habit has attained to
appalling proportions In France. 1t Is
calculated that in Paris alone some
100000 persons consider 1t impossible
to dine until after they have swallowed
a so-called appetizer. Many people in
dulge in the habit before lunch as well
as before dinner, and needless to say
that the number of those who are not
content with a single drink is legion.
The consumption of aperitifs in Paris
after increasing for many years at the
rate OF 10000 hectolitres year, has OF
late gone up by leaps and bounds, and
the annual increase is now q, 900 hec-
tolitres. There are no two opinions
as to the fact that these aperitifs,
among which absinthe is no worse than
the many varieties of bitters, Represents
the very direst form of alcoholic pol
soning. The healthiest persons can
not swallow these lethal decoctions
with impunity; they are a sure cause
OF nervous disease and physical degen-
Grafton. The ravages they are causing
