On recent Sunday morning, while
services were going on, little Jack
Conant, aged six years, saw n tiny
lame issuing from the roof OF the
Methodist Episcopal church at Osce-
ola. He ran TO the church to give the
alarm. When he entered, the preacher
was praying. Being too reverent to
interrupt prayer. the little man step
ped outside the door and waited until
he heard the minister say amen"
Then he ran in and yelled "Firer'
The grownup people were not so
deliberate or reverent as little Jack.
They leaped from their knees, forget
ting all about the solemnity or the oc-
casion, and ran for their lives.
BY hard work the church was saved,
but II the parsons prayer had been a
little longer it would have burned to
the ground.-Kansas City Journal.

1t is said that during his journalistic
life the late Sir Edwin Arnold wrote
10000 leaders. About the perora ton
or leader he was as careful as an
orator over his maiden speech.
Concerning his poedcal powers his
countrymen are becoming frank, now
that he Is no longer where his feelings

the rush OF obligations that flow from

the natural conclusion Is that the leaser
has encountered IL below.
While Jesse Knight was manager Of
the mine he took good many
thousands Of dollars out of this shoot;
but when the fault was encountered the
conclusion was reached that this was
the end OF the ore. Mr. Chapman says
the leager has from three TO four feet Of

to be as productive OF riches as Il
was above the tunnel.

The total Increase shown last year
was 1885 tons, or 40 per cent Nearly
one-half OF this was from the mines Of
North America outside OF the United
States that Is, from Mexico and Can
ada, South American mines showed
some gain, chiefly owing TO more ac-
tive working In Chile, and not 10 the
opening of new mines, The European
increase was nearly all from Russia;
while that of Asia was from Japan Tho
gain in Africa was due to the recovery
of the mines In Namaqualand from the
| injuries inflicted In the Beer war The
| output Of Australasia was stationary,
and we do not see the promised gain
| from new mines I'm New South Wales
| and Queensland. AS for several years
past. the greater part Of the production
was from the pyrlte deposits of Mount
Lyell IN Tasmania.
In fact the new sources or copper
supply opened In the past two or three
years are all in North America, The
new mines OF the Lake Superior region
| and Of the Bisbee district in Arizona,
| IN the United States; the Cananea and
+, Nacozari deposits IN Mexico. and the

In Rhodesla but very little has been
| done there; no proof Of their value
| in the form Of actual shipments of met
| al has been recorded.

| Is believed that there Is some copper
| mined I'm China IL Is impossible, how
J ever, to ascertain any facts with regard

! In any OF the reports.
| We have reason TO anticipate a some

where the conditions are favorable for
growth. Some falling off may be looked
for IN Japan. but the loss viii not be
important In relation 10 the total.
The worlds consumption Of copper
seems to increase about as fast as the
! production. Lower consumption In the
United States this year Is met by more
active demand abroad; and II seems
quite likely that our own consumption
will improve later in the year.
