Subterranean Recesses in New South
Wales That Contain Untold
Wealth in Precious Metals.

About II miles from Gouldbourn,
the metropolis of the southern portion
of New South Wales, is the somewhat
picturesque township of Bungonia,
pleasantly situated on the banks of a
wide creek, which with three others
the Yaequa, Spring Pond and Terrara
within a short distance of each
other, assist in making the district one
of an exceptionally fertile character.
Many parts of the district are aurifer-
Gus, and some day will be found richly
productive, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
The Marulan country, in which Bun
gonia is situated, has long been regard
ed as one of the future centers of
the gold-mining industry in the state.
In some places the limestone forma-
lions are of considerable extent, and

some points yielding marble equal to
any imported from Italy, that obtained

be taken from her and placed in
homemade brooder back under the
tank, which should be filled~with hot
water. Morning and night the tank
should be refilled, which will supply
sufficient warmth for the chicks hud-
died beneath it. They can be fed
in the front part of the box while
small, and later be placed where they
may enjoy little open runway, and
fed outside the brooder box.
With the chicks thus cared for, the
hen may be reset without any in
jury to her, and her utility thus
doubled. If she be a mature hen
of two years, she may be reset a
second time, making three broods
from her in nine weeks. This is a
good plan to pursue, either with the
ordinary flock or with thorough
bred stock. The chicks thrive in
close quarters in cold weather, and
with us the per cent. of loss among
chicks managed as suggested in the
single brooders is very small in

SOME OF THE WINTER BIRDS.
Nuthatches and Chickadee Are the
Best Known Among Those That
Make Snowy Days Merry.

There are three birds that at any
time, if it is not very stormy, will
help to make many winters day
merry. These are the two nut
matches and the chickadee. They are
often found together, and are as
much features of the season as with
cred leaves or snow and ice, writes
DR.. Charles c. Abbott, in ST. Mich
olas. Everybody knows the chick
adee. Emerson, in poem, has been
it's best biographer. But the lively
nuthatches have been too much neg
lected. Perhaps it is because they
do not sing; yet they are not mute,
and their querulous cries fit well
with many Wild winter day. But
what we can see is as much to be
considered as what we hear, and so
I wish to say word about sights at
this season so largely take the place
of sound. These three birds are al
ways busy, and this is significant. If
never idle, it behooves us to know
what is the meaning of their cease
less activity. Watching them closely,
Like ourselves, they must eat to live,
but the trunk of tree does not ap-
pear to be a promising field for
food. This is because our ewes are
not so sharp as theirs, and we get a
valuable hint from this simple fact.
If we looked at all objects more
closely than we are apt to do, we
would see more. In winter nature
does not display herself for our
ready recognition. Only in the glory
of summer days is she on dress
parade. With few exceptions, ma
lures bright uniforms have been laid
aside in midwinter. A palmer dress
BELTS the winter season, and it is one
so plain at times that sharp eyes are
needed to distinguish the moving
figures from the background.

REAL CHARITY WORK.
Boston Church Conducts a Pawn
shop for the Poor.
Fo1r Per Cent. a Year Is the Rate of
Interest Charged-Bright Young
Woman Manages the Unique
business.

In the heart of the exclusive Back
Bay of Boston, under the very caves
of aristocratic Trinity church, little
pawnshop fourishes, remarkable not
only for its environments, but in that
it undoubtedly is the cheapest in the
world, the only one conducted by
church and the only one that is run
solely on philanthropic basis.
Four per cent. year is its rate, so
cheap that every other pawnshop in the
city and in the world, in fact, would
be plunged into bankruptcy if run on
a similar plan.
One can raise money on anything,
from a tool to jewel, at Trinity Chap
ell pawnshop.
The sexton at the chapel door said:
"Yes, they do lend money here" and
he pointed out little room in the rear
of the church, where the money is lent
and jewels received.
1t is a plain, unexpected, bare little
room, big enough to hold a small book
case, desk, chair and a settee, and
a very few people at a time.

Mitchell to a woman who had just en-

She was away from home, her money

pure soldierly qualities. He was born
in Pennsylvania and enlisted as "a
private in the Seventeenth Pennsyl-
vania infantry in April, 1861, and was
soon appointed second lieutenant Of
the Fifth artillery. He was brevet-
ted captain in June, 1868, for gal
liant services in the defense of Win
chester, Va, and major in 1865, for
good conduct and gallant services
during the war. While in the field
in Virginia in 1863 his battery was
captured and he, being wounded, was
made prisoner and taken to Rich
mond.
In February, 1864, he effected his
escape and reached the federal lines
at Williamsburg. He was with his
regiment in Pennsylvania during the
labor strikes in 1877, and in October,
1880, he went abroad on the train
ing ship Saratoga, acquiring pro-
fessional information. During the
labor troubles in Chicago in 1894 he
had command of the artillery bat
talon ordered to that city. He be-
came colonel of the First artillery
by regular promotion in October,
1889, and served as a brigadier gem
eral of volunteers during the Span
ish-American war.
In the reorganization of the artil-
lery arm in March, 1901, he was
made chief of artillery and rendered
excellent service in improving the
efficiency of that branch of the serv-
ice. Notwithstanding his increased
command and possibilities, he was
continued in the rank of colonel I'M
til the passage of the act creating
the general staff of the army, which
provided among other things that
the chief of artillery should serve
as a member of that body and have
the rank, pay and allowances of
brigadier general.
The efficiency record shows him to
be an able and Jealous rl.llery of

"It doesn't" Miss Mitchell answered.
'Though l am very busy here, and
especially so on Saturdays, when many
come to redeem their pledges, the
profits barely pay my salary, but then
it's philanthropic, not money-mak-
ing scheme"
The business originated during an
extremely hard winter number Of
years ago, when there was great suf-
fering among Boston's poor. 1t was
the idea of several of the prominent
members of Trinity church, who ad-
vanced the money to open and carry on
the business until it might be self-sup-
porting.
''In its ten years CT existence" said
Miss Mitchell, hundreds of men and
women of all ages have been helped
out in and tided over their hour of
trouble by the Trinity Chapel pawn
shop.
persons who come here are almost
Invariably those who have known bet
ter days. Our own poor of the parish
we care for in secret way, and we
also provide coal for many who are
not of our parish and who, though in
actual need, are too proud to ask it
of the city, even when they get down
to their last shovelful.
"This, however, is for persons not
so badly off as the others, or only tenn
porarily inconvenience, perhaps, who
are sick, out of work, or hard up just
for the time being, who have some
thing which they can and which they
are glad as well to be able to offer as
security.
"We scarcely ever give more than
$40 as loan on any one object" said
Miss Mitchell, though in times past
we have.
"We used to advance money on sal
aries quite good deal, but now only
do it infrequently. If person is real
~ deserving, can furnish good recon-
mendations and will pay some of the
Joan back from week to week, money is
advanced on their salary, but, as have
said, we do not do much in this line
now"
Like all places Of the kind, it has its
drawer full of unclaimed articles, but
the number is small compared with
that of the shops where as much in

Trinity pawnshop for year,
