And yet with all thi: bad luck he completed the job in 4 1 seconds.

MAN AND MULE.

The mule-he is a gentle beast
 And so is man. He's satisfied to be the least;
 And so is man. Like man he may be taught some tricks: He does his work from eight to six. The mule-when he gets mad, he kicks:
 And so does man. The mule-he he- . Io@I to pull; And so L--s man. He's happiest when he is full;
 And so is man. Like man, he holds a patient poise And when his works done will re-
 joice. The mule-he likes to hear his voice;
 And so does man. The mule-he has his faults, 'tis true;
 And so has man. He does some things he should not do
 And so does man. Like man, he doesn't yearn for style, But wants contentment all the while The mule-he has a lovely smile;
 And so has man. The mule is something kind and good;
 And so is man. He eats all kinds of breakfast food; And so does man. Like man he balks at gaudy dress, And oil sultanish foolishness. The mules accused of mulishness;
 And so is man.

AUSTRALIAN MINE 5000 FEET
 DEEP.

What is believed to be the deepest gold mine in the world is being worked
 at Bendigo, Australia. The mine in
 question, which is called the New Chum Railway mine, has sunk it's
 main shaft to a depth of 3,900 feet, or cnly 60 feet short of three-quarters of a mile. The chief problem is how to keep the tunnels and general workings cool enough for the miners to work in at such a depth. It is usually about los degrees, and, to enable the men to work at all, a spray Of cold water let down from above has to be kept con- stantly playing on their bodies-naked from the waist upward. Even then they cannot work hard, or they would faint from austion.-Leisure Hour.

would by that do the besieged little
good. The attack o n that fertilization
is from the land side. Open the port
and send in provisions and supplies OF
all kinds, still the attack from the land
forces of the Japanese will be pushed
with the same vigor- The garrison Of
the besefged is growing smaller and
smaller every day. while the enemy are
sending fresh troops to relieve n
strengthen the besiegers. The holding
OF the fertilization depends upon the
ability Of the Russian land forces to

DIR. Dix, of Trinity church, New
York, has taken the right step in the
crusade against the divorce evil. His
example should be followed by every
minister in the United States. In
Trinity church and it's eight or more
chapels no divorced person having hus-
band or wife living will DE married.
This is a move in the right direction.
AS long as the churches tolerate loose
marriage ties legislators will enact lax
divorce laws. DR.. Dix says: IF So
ciety people in New York should re-
fuse to receive persons who married
again while their original wives or
husbands were living, the whole dis
gushing tendency would be checked
within twelve months" The doctor is
right. AS long as society and the
churches condone it the law will per-
nit it.
