Path of Compassion" said the
Philosopher. Il will have to use
words from the lips Of one of the
Masters to illustrate what | wish to
say. IF thine enemy, cold and hun
CRY, seek thy dwelling place, asking
food and shelter, aud thou turnst
him away without supplying his
wants, for fear he may harm thee,
thou turnst away from the Path of
Compassion
so, my friend, if you turn ii deaf
ear to ANYTHING which comes to YOU
for help, no matter whether it is a
fellow being, "A serpent, or an animal,
you turn away from the Path of Com
passion, and to do that is to place
yourself beyond the reach of help
tie who does not help IA weaker or
poorer than himself; h. who does
not rise up in defensr of one who is
unjus;ly assailed he who does not
give freely of his ~sustenance to any
one, OF anything, that may need it,
Is no rheosophist, aud does not seek
to follow the Path of Compassion.
The compassionate man will not
knowingly harm IA worm if he can
avoid it. He respects lie in every
form aud will never give pain know
inSly, either by word, or thought, or
deed, foT you can harm IA man by
your thoughts as much-perhaps
more-than by any word or deed.
The mp~assionate man recognizes
that every man, and everything is
doing the best it can, aud has AS
much right to live as he has. Christ
was II of the most compassionate of
men, aud there is no record where
He ever did an uIkind act or
spoke an unkind word. In fact
His life was one contaut stream of
compassion toward all living things.
10 tread the Path of Compassion
is to be kind and gentle to every liv-
ing thing, giving it of your pity aud
sympathy, and to astain utterly from
cruelty or unkindness.

meant by the Path of Compassion"

you say Poor man. when the driver
was worthy of censure for his cruelty
to the horse2"
Because replied the Philoso-
pher," the man who does a cruel act

NAL he is cruel to; he is creating
trouble for himself by his ignorance
of the Law. He does moi know that
he is building ii future, where he will
have to suffer an hundred blows for
every one he lays on the back of that
innocent and half starved beast.
That is the Law and because he will
have to learn that the Law is stern
and ~implacable; beciuse he will have
to suffer until he learns to recognize
the fact, that to intict cruelty on
another is to invite the lash to be
laid on his own back, he is TO be pit

to understand the Law, help but pity
the man who, by being uukind and
brutal, thoughtlessly brings his own
back under the cruel lash. Pity the
poor beast, for it suffers, but pity the
poor ignorant man, because he will

BIG STRIKE ON ELK MOUNTAIN
covellite Ore Revealed by the Electric
Drill in the Elk Mine-Richest Strike
Made in the District and the Elk now
Shipper.

SAfSA
K. O.. Kaylor. the superintend-
ent of the Elk Mining Company
who came in from Elk Mountain
yesterday, brings word of a very
important strike in that mine
made last Monday.
The Elk people have lately put
in an electric plant ct their mine,
for the purpose of running cleo.
trio drills and other machinery
about the mine, and to furnish
lights. The company also Sc
cured a Boz Electric drill, a new
invention, something far ahead
of anything in its line that has
ever been brought out. They be
gan the operation of this drill
last Monday and 9 holes, from
three to four feet III depth, were
put down in H short time. When
they were shot out it was discov-
cred that a body of beautiful Co
v%ellite ore had been uncovered.
The value of this find can hard
ly be estimated. 1t means that
the values in and around Elk
Mountain have increased euor-
mously and that every prospect
hole will now take on importance.
inasmuch as 1T may become a
mine of rich copper ore.
AS soon as the blasts were put
off it was discovered that the i'm
mense quantity of smoke in the
shaft would preclude work for
several hours. To avoid the de-
lay consequent upon such a con
dition Mr.. kaylor Immediately
ordered an electric blower. When
this comes and is placed in posi-
ton, it will soon clear the shaft
of smoke, so that work can pro-
coed without interruption.
Mr.. Kaylor, when spoken to in
regard to the new find, said: I'VE
are all very much elated over the
new strike in the Elk and there
can be no question but what We
have a shipper We had, when
We start,d down on the present
shaft, just about four inches of a
lead. We are now down 100 feet,
aud have 6 feet Of lead, all Of
which is mineralized. 1t is II
contact, the vein matter of which
has been, up to this time, lime
quartz, with a lime-quartzite wall
on n side and a porphyry Oh
the other. We are below perman-
nent water o and the matter of
the vein has entirely changed.
This last strike of covellite is a
great surprise, and changes the
character of the mine immensely.
We knew We had a shipper before
for We have a large quantity of
high grade ore on the dump.
THE electric plant recently put
in at the Elk consists of an 80 h..
p. boiler, a steam hoist and "A IL
k. W. dynamo, which furnishes
power for the drills, and lights
for the mine and buildings. 1t
is the one of the completest plants
ever installed in this country and
we are now i'll shape to go down
on the Elk in a proper manner"
Mr.. Kaylor brought in with
him IA sketch of the mine and lis
surroundings, made by NJ. d.
Houphton. the landscape artist,
which shows ii scene of more than
passing interest. 4 cut of this
scene viii be made and published

ARE CITIES ONLY IN NAME.

Some Aspiring Municipalities Are So
Small az to Be Ridiculous.
The recently completed census of
the United States reveals some singu-
cities that compose the nation at
large. There are quite a number of
so-called cities which are so ridicr
ulously small in population as to
make it a matter of wonder and
amazement that they are really cities.
The populations of few such cities
may be given as illustrations. The
city of Johnson, Kan, has a popula-
ton of only fifteen and the population
of the city of Coronado, in the same
state, is even less, being only ten.
There are several cities in Kansas
which have very diminutive popula-
tons, as follows: Bird, So; Brainerd,
20; Ford, 81; Freeport, SO; Horace,
90; Hugoton, 54; Richfield, 81; Trib-
une, 81; Ulysses, 40. The city of ST.
loan Springs, Mo-, has a population or
SO. The city of Brigantine, N j., has
a population of 80, but, small as is the
population of that city, it is nearly
five times as large as that of the city
of Lavallette, in the same state, which
has a population of only 81. The
city which exceeds all the others in
the diminutiveness of it's population
is the city of Rainy Lake, Mimi,
which has population of only z.

Skating on Water.

1t would seem that skating on water
may be successfully accomplished. A
German inventor has made a 1OO-mile
journey with water shoes on the sur
face of the River Danube. The shoes
are cylindrical in shape, and are made
of aluminium to give them extreme
lightness. They are several feet long.
and are propelled by a treading move
ment, which causes four oar-shaped
wings to revolve. The inventor claims
that he can travel on water three
times as fast as he can walk on land
and that locomotion is as safe OF
rough water as on smooth. He hopes
to have the shoes made a part of
every wel1-regulated 1ife-saving sta
ton.

After the announcement of the
British success at Tel-el-Kebir the
guns in St James park, London, were
not fired, and Mr. Gladstone, who was
prime minister at the time, wrote to
ask his war minister why the guns
were silent. He himself, Mr.. Gladstone
added, had had them fired for the In
dian victories in 1886. There was a
neat turning of the tables in the reply
Mr.. Gladstone had told the house of
commons that there was no legal
status of war with any recognized
state or power and his secretary for
war wrote back that the only excuse
the war Office had was that, relying on
the premier's statement, I'VE have
hitherto believed that we have not

POWER OF THE HvPNoTlsr.
ecientine Wonder Disconnected by
eubsequent Happening.


Subsequent Happening.
It was last Friday afternoon, while
was going up Columbus avenue il.
an electric car, that q man entered,
at Sixty-fifth street, and took a seat
directly opposite me- Al the next
corner another man entered, and, for
want of a seat. held to a strap
Fares!" cried the conductor as he
held his open hand in front of the
newcomer, who shook his head.
GIVE me a seat, and 1 will pay"
said the passenger.
PAY or 1 will put you Off, answer
ed the conductor.
TRY 1t and I will throw you
through the window" replied the pas
senger.
The usual talk INDUCED in under
such circumstances began, and the
other passengers took apparent inter
est in it The man who had entered
at Sixty-fifth street got into quite a
discussion with the passenger next to
him, and after minute it ended by
each of them displaying five dol
lar note.
Hold on, CONDUCTOR said the
Sixty-fifth street man. 1 can put that
brute OF without any trouble. Here
hold these bills, and if 1 get him to
go they are mine, and if 1 don't give
them to this man"
The conductor, glad to be relieved
took the money, and the Sixty-fifth
street man began to make gentle
passes with wiggling fingers in front
of the non-fare-paying passengers
face. Then he gently beckoned him
as he moved backward, and, much to
our establishment, the man who
wouldn't pay followed him to the
street. Leaving him standing there
in an apparently dazed condition, the
hypnotist boarded the car, got his
ten dollars, and away he went.
At the next corner 1 got on, and 50
did the hypnotist. He walked down
the street, met the man he had put
