Phe Chances In Policy.

The retired poke" shopkeeper was
explaining to his interested hearers
some of the mysteries Of his former
business.
'The chances of winning at the pol
Icy game" he said. "are about like this:
You take a bushel basket and ill it
with small white beans. Then you
put one small black bean into the bas-
ket and shake the lot up. After that
go to some 'skyscraper' building. say
one about % stories high. and place a
penny on the sidewalk in front of it.
This done. shoulder your bushel of
beans and take the elevator to the roof
of the building. Then lean over the
edge Of the roof and, aiming at the
cent on the sidewalk below. dump out
the beans in the basket all together.
Then hurry down on the elevator and
rush out to the sidewalk. If you find
that the black bean has fallen upon the
penny, you win."-New York Times

W. A, ClARK'S WEALTH.
As Given by His Newspaper, the
Great Falls Tribune.

A special to the New York Sun from
Phoenix, Arizona gives some figures re-
earding the value of Senator Clarks
mine. the United Verde, that may be
true; and which, at any rate, are inter
esting from statistical point OF view
The dispatch is as follows:
1T has only lately come to light that
the average value of the ore taken from
the United Verde is s75 per ton in all
values silver and copper. This
mine, SO far as has been developed, in
Guiding explorations and diamond drill
ling below the present workings, shows
an immense ore chimney, 400 by 600 feet
across, that has been explored by shafts,
tunnels and drill holes to a depth of
| l, 400 feet. Just how far it will be possi-
BILE to work this mine before the heat
limit is reached is hard to say, but rea-
sonable estimate would be 5000 feet. An
estimate by one of the best mining engi-
neers in this country shows that the
mine to the depth of 1,4OO feet contains
1886 100000 cubic feet of ore, and estlmat
ing II cubic feet to the ton there IS
practically 100000 tons in sight. II
we carry these figures little further on
the present four values of the United
Verde, we have the average value OF the
ore equaling s25OOOOOoOO. The present
owner of the property has refused s5O,-
100000 for the mine"
Of course if these figures are correct
there need be no longer question as to
who is the richest man in the world.
Senator Clark is so far ahead of the
others in the race that there is no danger
of them catching up with him. How
ever. the figures may be little large

The SillieHt Birds.

Dodo is the Portuguese name for
simpletOn, and it Is given to the silliest
bird that ever lived. Three hundred
years ago, when the Portuguese first
visited the island Of Mauritius. they
found n large number of these birds.
They were about the size OF a large
swan, blackish gray in color and hav.
ing only a bunch of feathers in place
of tail and little. useless wings.
More stupid and foolish birds could
not be imagined. They ran about max.
ing silly, kissing noise like goose,
and the sailors easily knocked them
over with their paddles. They couldn't
fly, they couldn't swim. they couldn't
run mt any great speed, and, as for
fighting, they were the greatest cow.
ards in the world. They were much
too stupid to build a nest. and so they
dropped an egg and went off to let it
hatch as best it could.

Pipe Smoking.

There are many pipe smokers who do
not know how to get the best there is
out of their indulgence. The great
point in pipe smoking is to smoke slow
ly. Nervous smokers smoke too rapidly
and burn their tongues with hot smoke.
besides failing entirely to get the full
est and best flavor out of the tobacco.
1t Is all matter of habit. but slow
smoking is habit which it is hard
for some people to acquire. In some
cases pipe smokers have tried for years
to check their smoking speed without
success. They began too late. and the
habit of rapid smoking is shaken off
with difficulty when it is once acquired.
Rapid smoking is as bad as rapid
eating-or worse. 1t is also bad form"
Whether it is cigar, pipe or cigarette,
the smoking should be deliberate in or
der to get the fullest enjoyment. 1t is
especially SO with pipe.-New York

"GrOwinE Down."

Everybody has noticed that in ex-
treme old age people grow rapidly
shorter SO that person formerly OF
average height grows down" into
quite a diminutive man or woman. A
German contemporary points out that
this decrease of height begins as early
as the age Of So years. At 80, we are
told. the human body has reached its
full height. which is retained for few
years, after which the growing down"
process begins. At first and for many
years the process is so slow as to be
almost imperceptible, but at the age Of
about 60 it begins to be noticeable. and
after 10, even though a veteran does
not stoop at all, the fact that he is
growing down" becomes apparent to
one and all.
