Mines of Wax.

In several parts Of the world a resin
Gus substance, called ozocerite, and
bearing considerable resemblance to
beeswax, is found, usually in connec-
tion with rock salt and coal. There
are deposits in Austria, Russia, Rou-
mania, Egypt, Algeria. Canada and
Mexico, but ozocerite has, so far, not
been discovered in sufficient quantities
to pay for mining anywhere except in
the district of Roryslav, in Austrian
Galicia, and on an island on the west
coast of the Caspian sea. In mining
this mineral wax shafts are sunk until
a bed or NEST" of ozocerite is struck.
Then connecting galleries are driven.
There is considerable danger, and many
lives have been lost in consequence of
the sudden forcing up of the soft wax
into the shafts by the enormous press
ure to which it is subjected. 1t is
used largely for manufacturing cere-
sin, which is employed, together with
beeswaX, for making wax candles, as
well as in the manufacture of phono-
graphic cylinders, and for many sim
liar purposes.-Brooilyn Citizen.

The Beers have accepted British
sovereignty in good faith, and the Brit
ish have conceived an almost exag-
gerated respect and admiration for the
character of the Beers, whom they
frankly despised at the beginning of
the war. There is one remarkable his
torical paradox to be noted in the out
come of this lamentable struggle. In
the loss of their beloved independence,
In the defeat of their cause, and in
their seeming extinction or absorp-
ton, the Beers have really come into
new birth as n nationality. 1t is not
written that young people capable
of such heroism shall, after practical
ly debating terms to the greatest en-
pire in the world, permit themselves to
forget that they have had a great part
in the making of history. This is not
day when small nationalities are
nssimilntcd and yielG up their identi-
ty; and so, far from this being the
end of the Boer nation, the peace of
Pretoria is the beginning of 1t. These
Boer farmers were the most obscure
people of European stock in the whole
world They were far less known than
the 1celanders. To-day they are pas
sionately admired throughout every
nook and corner of the civilized world.

BIoomdaie Liquor Case.

Judge Melhorn rendered his decision
in the case of Charles F. Cross VS.. the
Village of Bloomdaie.
The case WAS heard during the last
term of court and Judge Melhorn took
1t under advisement. He has been
looking oyer the papers filed and ,o-
day sent in his decision confirming
the decision OF the lower court and as
sessing the costs 10 the plaintiff in
error, Charles e. Cross.
The case was brought by Cross to
test the legality OF special election
held at Bloomdale whereby the town
was voted dry. The plaintiff was
beaten in the Probate Court and APP
pealed the case TO the Common Pleas
Court, with like result.

Legs Can't Stnntl II.

The leg has it's own woes, to which
It falls heir from the lcgacies of ex-
ercise. Grooms and cavalry officers
are inclined to have bow legs and to
"toe in" parrot fashion, as is adj
mired in Japan and in Indianland.
Priests, magistrates, and all who
wear skirts drag their legs in walk

soldiers and correct pedestrians

suit of overstrain, fatigue, and pro-
longed muscular contraction. Another
instance of muscular trademarks is
found among file-cutters. They over
exert the right hand in their work

The pressure of the chisel against
their thumb stunts the growth of
that member and bends it backward.
