Additional News from Hump

In a special to the Tribune from the |
Hump, dated June 9, the correspondent |
says work was commenced yesterday at
the Crackerjack on the raise from the
sill floor to the upper workings This
raise will be all in ore and stopping will
be done both ways, and ore bins will be
placed as fast as needed. The mill has
beet running for some time making
tests for concentration and the cleanup
from the plates was surprise to those
on the inside, netting little more than
double the amount expected. The raise
will be almost directly under the mill

suits are confdentially expected. 1t

man in every hundred-not more.
This, to be sure, refers to times of
peace. In war times men enlist
through patriotism by the thousands.
IS near as | can get at it, about
third of the young men who enlist
today have for their motive discour-
agement. They can't get along. They
have miserable jobs, work hard and
long for nearly invisible salaries and
they see nothing to hope for la the
future. So, discouraged, almost in
despair, they enlist. Another third

Cod LOSING Their Iixers.

1t is said that wnen man finds he
has a.liver he has instant cause for
urhappiress. But the Norwegian cod
fish are losing their. livers, and there
is likely to be unhappiness in the
world unless they take some means
OF finding the organ. The scarcity of
cod liver oil, great tonic for persons
with weak lungs, is owing not to the
fact that fewer Goldfish are caught,
but that the fish have little or no
livers any more. This is thought to
be caused by lack of sufficient nour-
i3hment, as the tiny sea creatures on
witch the cod feed are disappearing
from the Norwegian waters. The liv-
ers of the fish when caught are found
TO be shriveled badly, and in some
cases totally lacking. Where formerly
it took only about $4,000 cod to make
a barrel of cod liver oil i. now re-
Qu.res at least 10000.

Aesop Revised.

Wilbur F. Wakeman, late appraiser
of the port of New York. received a
letter from Secretary Lyman J. Gage
one day, in which Mr.. Gage had the
honor to request Mr.. Wakeman's res
ignation.
That was about all, and wakeman,
who is of a combative disposition,
started to see what he could do. He
knew the resignation was demanded
for political reasons, and thought he
might make fight.
He went to see Senator Orville H
Platt of Connecticut, and told his
story. After he had finished Senator
Platt said: .'Wakeman. did you ever
see the Empire State express at full
speed?"
YES" wakeman replied; but
why?"
well. imagine that train running at
sixty miles an. hour. and imagine a fly
on the track"
"All right said Wakeman.
THE application is here: The ad-
ministration that demands your resi- I.
nation is the Empire State express,
and you are the fly. Do you see?"

HOLY AIR IN BOTTLES.
u Water from the Jordan, Why Not
Atmosphere OF Jerusalem,

There is quite large business
done in Jerusalem in the bottling of
water from the Jordan. 1t is sold in
TASKS all over the town, and pious
people take il home to Mizzouraw and
lrjyann to baptize their babies with.
have no doubt that the water they
carry With them sometimes comes
from The Jordan, but considering the
character for veracity of the drago-
mans and other Jerusalem gentlemen,
! doubt it, It is easier to use the
water from the Jerusalem tanks in
stead of the Jordan, and, as the old
song says, Jordan is hard road to
travel"
If it be profitable to bottle Jordan
water for export to distant Christian
lands. what is the matter with bot
Ting Jerusalem air? Nowadays, when
they can compress air so easily and
use it for commercial purposes. why
not compress the holy air of Jerusa-
'em and send it to the faithful at
home?
This idea strikes me as a valuable
one, but ! publish 1t to the world
without price. ! am convinced that
any man taking it up and working it
out practically could make a pot of
money with 1t.
The only possible objection I can
see to the scheme is the hygienic one.
If Jerusalem air, when compressed
and raised to the ninth power, would
smell nine times as bad as it does
at home on its native heath, | am
convinced that uncorking bottle of
Jerusalem air in an American city
would produce pestilerce.
Jerusalem is the filthiest city ever
saw inhabited by white men. Since l
have visited it l am not surprised that
the Creator once sent a deluge upon
the earth. 1t is my belief that it was
intended to wash Jerusalem and make
1t clean. But 1t must have been a
failure.-San Francisco Argonaut.

A Sweet lauuh.

There is no natural grace more be.
witching than a sweet laugh. How
much we owe to it! 1t turns the prose
of our everyday life into poetry and
sheds showers of sunshine over our

even our sleep, which is no more tie
image of death, but hemmed with
dreams that are the shadows of i'm
mortality. When this sweet sound
comes to US in the midst OF care or
sorrow we turn and listen to it: ring.

with power to scare away the evil

Were Afraid Of tire Canon.

Canon Horsley, an eminent English
divine, tells many stories Of his ex-
perience as prison chaplain. one of
his most amusing being at his own
expense. The canon has long beard
and usually wears voluminous cloak
and slouch hat, larger than the or
binary clergyman's hat. This com.
bination gives him somewhat mys-
terious appearance, and on one occa-
sion. when travelling by train. he was
aware that two ladies', his fellow pas
sengers, were eyeing him with dis
trustful looks. AS he alighted at his
station he overheard one of his COM
panions say to the other. What a
Misunderstanding man! shouldn't

During last winters snow storms
the road from Syracuse to Oswego
was, perhaps, more heavily obstructed
than almost any other. A train which
was blocked up on the road had to
offer its passengers the usual amount

place of progress. Among the passen-
gers was a lady, with little boy, for
whom she had paid half fare. The
conductor. on his tenth round, taken
probably for the purpose of passing
away the time, stopped In front of this
lady and looked at the tickets and
looked at the boy.
