The Home Leasing company, a local
pool composed of business men, has
opened up streak Of from Is to n inches
of solid lead ore in the east drift on tie
Edgar vein, from the Central tunnel.
The company has driven 75o feet west
and 37s feet east from the Central tunnel
level. and had only encountered medium
grade Of ore, which did not give them
much encouragement to prosecute the
work further, and we're on the point of
abandoning the lease, when the streak
was uncovered in the breast, and in the
stope started q short ways back in the
level. With the present streak they will
be able to take out large tonnage, aad

A traveller thus describes a per-
formance of "othello" in a Malay
theater: ut was all in Malay, of
course, but where they had got the
European costumes from cannot
imagine. They were of all kinds and
descriptions. Othello was dressed as
a toreador, with tennis shoes on;
Cassie. as Henry VIII; Iago in a
black velvet court suit, with a bar
rister's wig well down over his nose;
Desdemona. in short Spanish dane
ing girls dress; Roderigo. a green
druid's gown, with pink stockings and
tanned boots. But the joke of the
whole thing was the music. There
was Malay orchestra of banjos,
mandolins, etc, but they played
scarcely any native music. They all
simply love European music. to which
they set their own Malayan words.
The play was interspersed with songs.

The IconocIasts.

lconoclasts were image breakers. The
controversy respecting images, which
had been introduced into churches for
popular instruction about A. d. 300.
was begun about A. d. T26 and occa-
stoned much disturbance and loss of
life in the eastern empire. Leo Isau-
rlcus published two edicts for demol-
lshing images in churches in that year
and enforced them with great, vigor in
1856. The controversy was carried ON
in the church, and the schism was the
occasion of the second council of Nice,
A. ID. 1877. The icopoclasts were finally
communicated at the eighth general
council held later at Constantinople.
and this controversy led to the separa.
ton of the Greek and Latin churches.
Many images were destroyed in Eng
land and Scotland during the reforma-
ton and in the civil war-l641- 4S-and
on each occasion the destroyers as
sumed the name of iconoclasts.

When Golf Was Serious.

Golf players complain that their ia
vorite game is not taken seriously
enough by the people, and they protest
against the tone of levity in which
newspaper photographers discuss the
game. There was a time when golf
was taken seriously enough, as this ex-
cerpt from an ancient law document
attests:
On September o, 1887, Francis Broune,
some to John Broune, wabster in Banff,
was convicted by the borrow or justice
court Of the burgh of breaking into the
buithe of Patrick Shand and stealing
therefrom "sume golf ballis," and the
judges ordainit the said Francis to be

lowshill Of this burghe, and hangit on

1t is curious fact that as late as the

existed-indeed there may still exist
among the good people of Cavan and

charmed away by rhymes and other
magical means. One of my acquaint-
ances was told by an Irishman OF a
case of "billeting" rats-that is, of
clearing them out of one place and
lodging them in another. No pipe was
played. Indeed the method was a mys-
terry, but the rats came fiocking out of

A Story Once Told by Lowell.

Something happened one day in
James Russell L0welps Office which
suggested the following: There was q
time when the fastest sailing ships in
the world were built in the shipyards
Of New England. About that time an
American clipper and an English yacht
were entering the harbor of Genoa to-
gether, and there was a race between
the clipper and the yacht, and the clip
per won in the race. When the two
vessels Were. in port the owner of the
English yacht, person of polished
manners, came on board the American
and very handsomely congratulated the
captain of the clipper upon his achieve
ment, which he said was all the more
remarkable in view of the fact that it
was the first time that his yacht had
ever been beaten. The liberal minded
old Yankee captain replied: well,
now, that's curious. It's the first time
the Polly Ann ever beat anything"

WheIks as Money.

Dewarra, a currency of New Britain,
is an instance of how the spoils of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the
shells of a dog whelk upon the ribs Of
palm leaves. These strings may be
retailed at so much fathom-usually
the price is equivalent to about three
shillings fathom length-or they may
be made into various articles of per-
sonal adornment to be worn on great
occasions. In New Britain the de-
warra boarded up by a rich man is
produced at his funeral and divided
among his heirs in much the same
kind Of way as personal property Is
divided among us.
