THE confidence in Arizona mines
was recent! demonstrated in Calumet,
Michigan. when Sl,0l0,000 worth OF
stock of Calumet and Arizona was
taken and paid for in one day. Tel,
grams were received from many sec.

way and asking that stock be held
until it arri we'd. which requests were
not compiled with. and twenty-four
hours Later people were offering Sl3

Novel Enjoyment.

There; was commander on British

perSonifed.. He was the man who
never slept He was the bugbear. of
the crew, all and sundry, hence the
point of McAlister's tale.
McAlister was boatswain who I'm
eXpectedly came into small fortune,
whereupon, quitting the service, he
bought snug little cottage as many
miles away from salt water as it is
possible for a man to get in England.
When he was comfortably settled he
employed boy to come to his door
every morning at half past s, knock
and say: .. sE

Whereupon every morning the now

as he never brought hat into the

row a hat. 1t happened that the hat
which he borrowed belonged to his
then solicitor general, Sir F. HerschelI

proved to be far too small for Mr..
Gladstone's head. He was unable for
some time to address the house owing

Your Canary.

Don't forget to give your canary the
best of water and seed every day. See
that he has a good fish bone. Clean
his cage every day. Keep him out of
the hot sun and the glare of night
Lights and yet let him have sunshine.
Talk to him; talk to him with a kind
voice. Let him out of the cage occa-
sionally. We give crumbs Of bread
soaked in milk, lettuce, chickweed, a
little piece Of egg, sometimes a little
fruit, a nut and lots of good things and
let him eat or reject as he pleases.
Remember he is a prisoner in con-
fnement, dependent on you every day
for health and life, and constantly
strive to make him happy. A little 10
cent looking glass will add greatly to
his happiness. Take care that neither
sun nor other light reflected shall daz-
Zle him.

Where E1oquence Is Wasted.

It might have been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer of
our Augustan, age; that Burke: with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquence;; that Macintosh, with his
almost encyclopedia learning, or that
Jekyll who had set hundred dinner
tables in roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success in
the house Of commons.
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case. Their
speeches produced no effect. They
wearied and bewildered their audience.
And their rising to speak was too often
the signal for general exodus; in fact,
as was said of Burke, they acted as a
dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself,
though on two occasions his speeches
changed the fate Of division, was in
no sense Of the word an orator or even
a great debater. His voice was too
shrill and monotonous, and he poured
out a torrent of words with such head
long fuency as to confuse his hearers
as we'll as to battle the quickest Of par
liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton,
again, could recite an admirable essay,
but his delivery was bad. and the see
saw gestures which accompanied his
speech were as "grotesque as those of
an old fashioned postboy."
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly cult
waited minds than John Stuart Mill and
Mr.. John Morley, but as far as their
parliamentary utterances 60 their
names are writ in water."-Black-

4 CIVIL ENGINEER

One morning in my bachelor apart

Just then out Of employment I was
man who could keep a secret. l was
therefore naturally interested in the
advertisement. 1t might possibly be
some job which would get me into
trouble with the law, but if so l had
only to decline to take hold Of it after
an interview. I was inclined to be-
1ieve that some land or mine owner
wanted a private and secret survey
made for his own satisfaction, as is
often the case. 1t is sometimes the
@sse that where two neighbors quarrel
one Of them builds house or barn on
what he believes to be his line, but
which is found to trespass by a few
inches. I could see a dozen good rea-
sons why the person should advertise
as he did, and fastened to answer
him aud post the letter. He gave his

I felt that he had some sinister de-
signs in Turing me to the lonely old
house. 1 put a bold face on the mat

at that he attacked me and threw me
to the floor. From his savage manner

throat like a wolf he lifted me up and
showed me into a closet and bolted the
stout door on me. Of course protest
