LONDON MINING FIRMS.

A new development of mining man. |agement in England is attracting at |tention in this country The firm is rapidly becoming the main source of mine finance, managing in business like way a number of different enter Iprises in given territory and displac-
 ing the company" with it's dummy board of incompetent directors, and the promoter whose function is to sell stock, not to make it earn dividends. These London firms usually restrict themselves to specific regions.
 Wernher, Belt & Co.,, for example, have South Africa for the principal scene of their activity, making themselves re- sponstble for the honest and efficient management of numerous enterprises whose stock aggregates many scores of millions and is over three hundred above par. Bewick, Moreing t& Co. op- crate chiefly in Australia; John Taylor & Sons in India, and Tarbutt, Son & Jansen in West Africa and Rhodesia, each firm consisting of partners, who give their whole time to the business. They control the majority of stock in a. great number of companies and operate them by the best, up-to-date methods. The high market price of the shares of their companies places them in strong contrast with the ordinary individual company Firms of this kind have name to maintain, since it is upon their good reputation they rely to secure the vast sums of money they employ. They have been known at times, when a mine unexpectedly petered out, to supply a mine at their own cost-not for charity, but to keep alive the neces- sary confidence in their ability and in- tegrity. The continuity of the firm is a feature in it's favor. It's senior partners retire and younger men are brought from administrative positions in the field, and the firm goes on.

It is TO longer doubted that the Jap anese are too much for the Russians on the water. IT there are any Russian battleships that have not been blown up by the Japanese. or have not blown themselves up, they are keeping in the background, or backwater, and it is the popular belief in this country that if there are more. and they come out where the Japanese can get at them they will soon go to where the rest have gone. But there has been a rather prevalent theory that when the little Japanese met on land the terrible Cos sacks like those which Buffalo Bill im- ported, and the big. stolid and strong Russian soldiers of the infantry and artillerysthere might be different story from that which has been told of the sea battles. For the last few days the little Japanese have been meeting the terrible Cossacks and the big, stolid and strong Russians. and the meeting has not been pleasant or profitable for the Russians. Indeed, the Japanese seem to have been victorious all along the line. They have shown themselves to be as good fighters on land as on the water. and it is evident that they are well and definitely led. The news has greatly cheered all who are hoping that pagan Japan will overcome Chris tian'' Russia.

Sir Frederick Bridge recently told the members of the London Society of Arts a story about some women whom he found listening in country house to q mechanical piano player. By their en- raptured expression of countenance he became aware that he was hearing a classical piece of enormous worth. though it sounded so very abstruse that he felt himself hardly educated up to it. So in whisper he asked what it was, and received the reply that it was Bach's fugue in D minor. He still fail- ed to recognize it. and when the piece was finished proceeded to elucidate the mystery. He then found the fugue had been played backward, as the ladies had put in the perforated paper upside down.

He says that perhaps he will retire at the end of the present terms Grandchildren of former pupils are now in the schools.

The Best Ioke.

Somehow the joke that suits you best,
The story, smile compelling,
The brightest quip, the neatest Jest,
Is one of your own telling.
The incident is pat and bright,
The moral always fitting,
And all in all the thing is quite
Amusing-nay, side splitting.
Something that happened by the way
Reminds you of a story,
And you proceed without delay
To spring one old and hoary
That strikes you ON the funny bone
And seems so cute and witty
That when your hearers want to groan
They laugh, too, out of pity.
Alas, alack, the brightest tale
That seems to you killer
Is one that on the ark took sail
And antedates Joe Miller,
But still you fold it to your heart
AS though it took the money
And spring it when you would be smart
And wish TO be real funny.
But, oh, your punishment is swift,
Your hearer will not suffer
In silence, but his voice will lift
And tell you one that's tougher.
Straight faced, though laughing in his
sleeve,
The man his heart will harden
And tell one Adam told to Eve
While walking in the garden.
