Enorr,ous Profits of Shelters.

1.-The mining industry has paid more dividends, compared with other indus tries, than any other business known" is a statement recently made by the New York Tribune, supplementing this positive statement with the following: Compare the profits of mining with 1h6, GOO odd miles of railway, With az gregate liabilities of S10,000, ,000, ,000, and you will see which is the more profitable. Under the wing of mining there exist some of the safest and and most profitable businesses. Take, for instance, the twelve great smelting companieS-the mineral pawnbrokers. The smelting companies that do a strictly custom business show absO- lutely and unquestionably larger prof. its than any other industry in America. There are many instances where capi- tai invested in smelling companies has been turned over five times a year, and each time the margin of profit has been over twenty per cent of the en- tire amount handled. They take no risk, simply buying the raw material of gold, silver and copper at reduced price, extracting their cost of treat ment and paying the miner the residue" {"

FINGERING HELPED STATUES
Museums Abolishes the "Hands or" Signs.

Until short time ago, says the New York Times, the bronze statuary in some of the Berlin museums was most carefully labeled: Hands off, just as it is in many American museums What happened in Berlin, however, may cause the curators of some of our museums to take down their signs. Ii was observed in Berlin that those parts of the bronze statues which were sur reptitiously handled by the public re- tained a good surface. This led to the conclusion that fat had something to do with it. An experiment was there fore tried for some years with four bronzes. One was coated every day with oil and wiped with cloth; another was washed every day with water; the third was similarly washed. but was oiled twice year; and the fourth was left untouched, just as our bronzes re- main isolated behind the notices, Hands off" The first looked beauti- ful; the third, which had been oiled twice a year, was passable; the second looked dead; and the fourth was dull and black. It is probably fact not generally known that the ancient Greeks polished their statues by con stant hand rubbing. Perhaps the cnrators above mentioned, who have charge of statues and other adorn- ments, will profit by the experiment here described.

Immense Profits in Copper Mining.

No wonder the ordinary prospector
 and mining man thinks he is rich i when his ore assays from 10 to 10 per cent in copper, when he reads the profits made by the big copper com l panies. Take, for instance, the last report of the Anaconda company of Butte. The report shows that the net cost for mining its ores for the year averaged S3I7, and for treatment, smelting, etc, si. l2 per ton. The aver age value of this ore was 5.73 per cent copper, 4.23 ounces in silver and .O14 ounces of gold per ton.
 Among the different items of ex- pense for mining we mention the fol- lowing; Candles, sil, 76l; coal, s207, ,S6l:
 freight on ore, s452, ,0Sl; fuse and caps, s27 7,OO4; labor, s3,s76, ,5O2; powder, sl47,- 296; salaries, including management, ss6, 2s0; taxes, s70,9S0, timber, si29, ,SS6; machinery and repairs, s46l,6l2. The total expenditures for mining for the year amounted to s5,5O3, ,923.
 The report shewS that total sum of s6,00S,00S was paid out at the smell ter and retineries, making total for mining and smelting of Sll, ,5ll ,9sO.
 The company for the same year re- ceiyed from sales of product, profits of subsidiary departments, royalties, rents and dividends received, SlS,- Sl7,957.
 All this vast sum from such low grade of ore is enough to open the eyes of any one, let alone the poor prospector, and all this from only one year.
 The total quantity of ore treated up to this year by this company, and since the year 1880, has been 9,6l4, 263 tons. From this tonnage there was produced 550, ,962 tons of copper, 10, ,65S, l03 ounces of silver, and 135,244 ounces of gold,
 The coinage value of the gold and silver amounts to S55, ,363, 793. The value of the coper at an average sell ing price of l2l cents pound, was S193, l04, 293.
 Thus the total value of the yield of this one company since 1880, amounts to s24S 46S, ,096. The present year will add fully S6,000,00O to the above total. Mining World.

A CANCER MYSTERY.
Pbysicians Unable to Discover the Cause or Cure of the
 Disease.

In the daily press we find full ac- counts of another discovery of the can ger bacillus, the investigator in this in stance being Dr. Bra. of Paris, says inc Medical Review of Reviews. II is not surprising to learn that the medical men of the French capital do not unani- mously or even in small numbers in dorse the validity of the claims made nor do they express complete confi- dence in the source from which the claims emanate.
 The answer to the question of the ex istence of cancer bacillus is still to be reckoned among the mysteries of bac- teriological research. One striking an alogy to recognized microbe disease is lacking in the clinical history of can

Inc Best Religion.

Plain, homely goodness is the only orthodoxy l know anything about. No man can be wrong with God when he does Gods work, and the best re- ligion in the world is that which straightens out the crooked things of daily life. You may believe that you are a prince, and your belief may be of service to you, but prince must behave like a prince, or his ancestry counts for nothing. It is not enough to recite your genealogy to your neighbors, for the peasant who is princely is worth more than the prince who in his heart is a peasant. It is the life which tells the story and de- cides your fate. The crown of dogma is one thing, and very poor thing, but the crown of a holy and self-sac- rificing life, a life which spurns the mean, life which is set to the music of brotherhood, life which bases its hopes of the future on the knigktly and chivalrous deeds of the present. that alone makes heaven out of to- days experiences and insures the heaven of a glorious immortality. Be worthy of yourself at any cost, and you will be reckoned worthy in the hereafter. GEORGE II. HEPwoRTH.

PREPARING ANNUAL REPORT.
Recommendation Which Maj. Sylves-
ter is Expected to Make.

Which Maj. Sy1ves-
ter is Expected to Make.
Major Sylvester, superintendent Of police.
is engaged In preparing his annual report.
which will be submitted to the District
Commissioners within a short time The
report will contain many recommendations
important to the police force, the adoption
of which will, it Is believed, rebound great
ly to the benefit Of the organization. Chief
among these recommendations Is one re-
lating to the adoption of the city magis-
trate system Of trying police cases, which
is practiced in many other important cities
Of the country Major Sylvester will point
out the advantages to be gained by the
adoption of this method and will strongly
urge that 1t be inaugurated in Washington.
He will also ask for an increased general
appropriation for the year and warrant for
increasing the numerical strength of the
force by about ten men.
Another important recommendation which
the report will contain will be that per-
tanning to a proposed change in the pay
Of prfvates of class one. Major Sylvester
thinks that privates Of this class, who now
receive SIS month. should be paid 800
month. which is the present compensation
for policemen Of class two. The difficulty
now presented by the law is that men In
class one usually serve in the neighbOrhood
of ten years before receiving an increase
Ii pay OVeI $oOu d } edE OuCH d. IOuS pc
riod without increase Is held to have
dfscOuraging effect on many Jealous and
proficient men on the force.
Major Sylvester will ask for an increase
In the appropriation for the maintenance Of
the house Of detention, the business Of that
institution having greatly expanded during
the past year. He will also ask for the
erection of q new station house for the
fifth precinct. located near 5th and e
streets southeast. The government now
owns the ground where this station is 10
Gated. but not the building.
