THE MINISTER'S WEAKNESS.

The lay and spiritual points Of view
are different, as is shown by this tale
Of q church in Ansdarko, Kas., which
was considering the availability of q
clergyman who had applied for the
pastorate. The deacons had been told
that a lawyer of the town had known
the pastor intimately. They went to
him and asked for a statement of the
qualifications of the candidate. "Yes,
l know Brother - very we'll, said
the lawyer. II went to college with
him and / attended his church after
he entered the ministry. He is
scholarly, able and eloquent and am
sure you will like him. The deacons
thanked the lawyer and were going
away, when he called to them in con-
sequence Of an sfterthought. 81
don't know as it makes any differ
ence," said he, apologetically; but
perhaps 1 should tell that he's as ugly

AMERICAN FLOUR
Its Popularity in China in
creases Rapidly.
Nearly Million Barrels More Ex'
ported in 1902 Than in 1901.

The popularity of American -four in
China is attracting attention on both
sides of the globe. The British con-
sui. general at Canton, in a report sent
from China to London and published
in that city, states that the demand
for -four among emigrants returned
from the United States is so great
that the quantity Of tiour imported in
1902 exceeded that Of 1901 by 95,S31,-
32s pounds, and was also some co.
400, 900 pounds in excess Of the aver
age for the past five years.
These figures of increase in Chinese
consumption Of -four are justified by
the figures of the treasury bureau of
statistics showing expectations Of flour
to China and adjacent ports. Indeed,
it is only when the shipments to the
ports djacent to China are considered
that the rapidity of increase in ex-
ports Of -four to that part Of the world
is realized. To China alone, the ex-
ports of American -four have grown
from 10, 71s barrels in 1892 to 1894
barrels in 1902. This increase Of S.
906 barrels is small, however, compar-
ed with the increase IN the shipments
to Hongkong, from which point most
Of the flour there received is distribut-
ed to the various ports of China. The
exports of American -four to Hong
kong in 1892 were 450, 800 barrels, and
in 1909, 1895, s93 barrels, an increase
of GAL, 203 barrels.

in generating mi horse power varies
greatly, depending on the kind and cor.

Another Fake Mining Scheme.

The method Of guaranteeing min

nearly every instance the guarantee

written upon. The assets Of a min
ing company undergoing the many
vicissitudes Of formation and develop
ment are largely neutrality-suspicious.

the investor from loss. Seldom il a
property mortgageable for sufficient
to develop 1t and equip IL with the
necessary machinery, stamp mill
Oh smelter. Then, wherein Is the
investor guaranteed from loss?
Seldom is a promoter in n position
to put up the bonds or other securi-
ties to protect the guarantee. Oc-
.asionally a method is adopted, where
a certain per cent of the funds OBJ
tanned from sale of shares, which
placed at interest for a certain period,
will guarantee the originalinvestment.
In this case the purchaser puts up
the guarantee. The business of

er eight pounds of coal consumed per
hour will require .4S square foot of CRATE
surface per horse power generated, and
forty pounds per hour will require but
% square foot of CRATE surface per horse
power generated. Thus it will be seer
that power will be generated much more
cheaply in a large boiler than in a small
one. The cost per horse power of cleo.
tricity depends entirely upon the power
employed in generating it. The cheap
est is undoubtedly that which is gener.
ated by the employment of free water
power, and the most expensive, that
generated in a plant having insufficient

Great Progress Made 10 'M~etalIurgy.

The advance along metallurgical
lines, in smelling and in mill prac-
tice within the past two or three
years, have made marketable a grade
Of ore so low as to give commercial
value to hundreds of mines having
large bodies Of deposits heretofore
considered worthless. The attractive
feature of this lies In the fact that
the heaviest dividend producers in
the entire country are the large bodies
Of low grade ore. The all absorbing
question of profitable treatment has
to be met and answered mt the very
threshold of the enterprise; and this
Is what up-to-date methods of reduc
ton have done. II Is now no longer
a question as to whether 80 ore can
be p%rofltably treated; but-how
much have you? With 800, 900
cash capital and Il corps of competent
men in charge of the mine, and the
business affairs, IL Is not a wild
prediction to state that the money
can he made to earn dividends of
% to so per cent a year.-Western
