During the eleven months, ending
Nov. 30th, 1901, 215 mining companies
paid in dividends over $145, 600, 900.
This is certainly a most excellent show
ing amid proves beyond a question OF
doubt that mining investments are
bringing better results than any other
form of investment. This excellent
showing should convince people who
have moneys lying in the bank at low
rate Of interest, that the investment OF
q small amount of money in a legiti.
mate mining security is not only safe
but will bring immense returns.
The day Of wildcat stocks is not en-
tirely over; however. if investors will
use the same care in investing their
moneys in mining stocks as they would
in purchasing real estate or merchan,
disc, there is absolutely no danger Of
loss.
Besides the immense dividends paid
by mining companies, a great prof.
can also be realized by the advance
ment Of teh stocks in value. ONLY
eleven months ago certain stock in
Nevada was promoted at $1OO pei
share. This is now in great demand a.
$22.50 per share, a profit of almost 2 ,2Ol
per cent in less than twelve months
and such profits as these are very com
mon in mining. If you will write up
we will tell you more about it, and viii

ment. Address,

MEN NOT THE ONLY DRUNKARDS.
Reports From London Show That In
temperance Among Women Is
Increasing.

AT meeting Of the Women's union
or the Church OF England Temperance
society, which was held recently in
London, there was a general agreement
among the speakers that intemperance
In the use both Of spirituous liquo-s
and drugs was increasing among wo-
men. All classes were affected, but the
drug habit is more prevalent among
the wealthy, while gross drunkenness
Is Shock1ngly common among the poor.
The bishop of London said that he
had statistics before him which showed
that out Of one thousand women IN
certain workhouse' One-half were there
for drink, and he told an astonishing
story of the abandonment of factory
girls to this vice. 1t was a custom
among them to form what were known
as spirit clubs, in which contributions
were accumulated for the purchase OF
liquor. These were regularly assessed
for grand celebration on Christmas
eve, when the money went for wine.
and spirits and cake.
The bishop was Of the opinion that
sheer poverty and it's attendant worries
was the cause Of so much of the intenl-
perance among women, and dwelt par
ticularly upon the influence Of environ
ment. cit was in the East end district
not So much the pig that made the sty
as the sty that made the pig, and there
fore ali this intemperance was very
much bound up with the question of
the better housing Of the working
classes
In that sentence and all that it i'm
plies will be found one OF the reasons,
for the spread of municipal socialism
in England and Scotland. The cleaning
out Of the slums of great cities ha9
been considered absolutely essential tt
the health and morals Of the cOmmun,
ity, but it was impossible to effect Iht
necessary changes so long as the sluInf
continued to be rich revenue producer
for grasping landlords.
Passing to the other extreme of So
ciety, the speaker indicated that UNDER
work, like overwork, was responsible
for am excessive indulgence in intCxi-
cants. Sir T. Barlow, physician to the
king, said that one of the special fea-
lures Of female intemDerance was Sc
cret drinking, and among the CHIEF
causes OF this secret drinking among:
women was lack of occupation, as well
as sorrow and worry, bodily weakness
and the various forms of pain which
were temporarily relieved by alcohol
It is interesting to note also that this
eminent physician thoroughly dis
countenanced the idea that drunken
ness should be treated primarily as q
disease or an inheritance. 1t shouldl be
treated, he said, as a sin.-Chicago he

BIG SNAKE OWNED THE SHIP.
It Drove the Crew Into Hiding and
Mounted the Bridge Of the Snip.

For two hours a great python had
full possession of the steamship Afrid1,
which arrived here yesterday from
Singapore with rare collection Of AMI
mails for the ZooIOgical Garden in The
Bronx. The beast, which was twenty
four feet long, active and feroc1ouS,
drove the terrified crew into hiding,
then mounted the bridge, which it he'd
against all efforts of the captain and
mate to- dislodge it. Finally, after
making an ugly fight, it was chopped
to pieces. with an axe.
Captain Golding of the Afridi is an
enthusiastic collector Of animals, and
when the steamship left Singapore he
had on board many rare specimens, in
GLIDING the python. The services OF
ten men were needed to get it on board,
and this, was done only after it had
been bound tightly.
The first night out was extremely
dark and still, which was a. fortunate
thing for those on board, as the steam
ship was practically left to her own
management after the python broke
loose. The first Captain GOlding knew
of the affair was when he heard great
uproar from the animals. Bears grCWi-
ed and tigers roared, while the mon
keys screamed with fright. When the
captain went to investigate he found
the pythons cage was empty.
Suddenly there came a yell of terror
from the bridge, and the officer in
charge there leaped over the railing &c
the main deck and darted below, white
with fear. The python was climbing
the ladder to the bridge, and had SHOW
ed it's ugly head almost into his face.
Members of the crew ran to the pace,
then kept on running, piling upon each
other as they tumbled below, pulling
the forecastle hatch after them.
They left only the captain and the
mate to fight the python, which bad
coiled itself on the bridge and Was
swaying its head and long neck from
side to side The mate would not essay
close quarters, but held the bull s-eye
lantern so that its light shone full ON
the spectacular fight that followed.
Cautiously climbing the ladder, the
captain tried to throw rope around
the snake, which was as quick as q
fash in eVading it. Twice the captain
was forced to sudden retreat, followed
by the scampering mate. Then he got
a long-handled broadax and slowly ap-
preached the snake, while the mate
tried to blind it by throwing the Ian
tern rays full in its eyes. After much
maneuvering the plucky seaman got a
sweeping whack at the snake, cutting
it completely in two about the middle.
Then he had two snakes to fight in
stead of one, the tail part thrashing
about wildly while the other part again
and again was thrown around him.
Not knowing that it had been cut in
two, apparently, the snake tried to use
its constructive powers, but failed, and
finally it was chopped into a dozen
pieces.-New York Press.

When President Roosevelt made his
flying trip to Chattanooga, one OF the
chief points Of interest included his en-
tertainment at Lookout mountain,
standing in solemn majesty above the

mountain the rushing Tennessee
