Living food. Carrion. Vegetarian.
1t must also be remembered that the
man who eats immense meals lacks
the excuse Of these heavier feeders IN
the wild life. The mole, the vulture,
the python and the shark have excel
lent reason for eating all they can
when a rare chance offers. They may
have gone long without a meal, and
there is no instinct TO tell them when
they viii get another, whereas a man
knows quite well at luncheon that
within six o. seven hours he will be
dining.
The mole. like the little shield tailed
snakes Of CeylOn. which hunt the same
food has TO work like slave, digging
and tunneling and undermining acres
OF surface soil in its pursuit Of tho
worms. and all this labor must breed
q hearty appetite.
The vulture and the python are SO
sluggish in their movements that the
latter more particularly. lacking the
birds taste for carrion. must often be
compelled TO so hungry for weeks TO-
gether.
Again, while greatness is q term OF
reproach among ourselves, if is impos-
sible TO glance down the preceding ia
bic with the same feeling of distaste.
for we know that some of the greedi-
est among these are natures appoint
ed agents for the resolution of matter.
which otherwise would faint the at
mosphere and poison mankind, into its
harmless elements.
There are other considerations which
distinguish the greed of the lower an
finals from the greed of man. In the
case Of the great python, for instance.
and, in fact, of all serpents. more or
less. the teeth are so stunted in tho
jaw that the reptile is bound to eat all
there is and is debarrcd from leaving
on when its victim is only half de-
voured.
Some years ago one OF the largest
serpents IN the geological gardens ate
another, almost as large, which had
previously shared its compartment.
Much was said and written at the time
Of the offensive "greediness" Of the
creature. but in point Of fact its incli-
nation had less TO say to the result
than its anatomy. If. for instance. tho
two started on the same rabbit one
Selling the head, the other tho stern.
the larger would have no choice when
they met halfway across but to swal-
low its smaller fellow.
So specialized are some animals in
their food that even the two sexes have
different views on the subject Of what
TO have for dinner. AS a curious con-
trast 10 the collaboration Of the male
and female hula may be cited that
OF the male mosquito. which sucks only
the juices Of plants, while the female
must feed on the blood Of animals.

But Mr.. Burns, although an ardent parti-
san. had no desire for Office and emphat-
ieally declined the honor. However, he

in sundry enterprises in that vicinity, but

An immense flow OF water was en-
countered early this week in the breast
of the Burns Moore tunnel, and as a con-
sequence the progress of that big bore
WAS retarded. The food of water is
still pouring forth, and whil- i, greatly
interferes with operations. it is consid-
cred the best indication of the near
approach of the Silver Cliff vein. which
is generally believed 10 carry the main
water course in that section Of the noun
tain, being large fssure with soft vein
filing. The Silver Cliff is the western
extension of the Silver Link, which
latter has good production to its credit.
The Burns Moore tunnel is now IL over
ALSO fee, and Two machines have been
used in the breas, by the contractors who
were making from FIVE to seven feet per
day up till the first of the week when
the heavy water flow was encountered.
After the Silver Cliff vein has been
reached the tunnel will intersect the
Kansas City and the Parnell veins with
in the next several hundred feet. and ii
may lie said that they are just entering
the mineral belt which travefses that
section, upon which the famous mines of
Ute creek are located. Were It not for
the enormous amount Of surface water
in all OF the Ute creek section. many
millions Of dollars would now be the
credited production of that district
Work is still progressing on the Mag
azine lode drift and a splendid medium
grade ore has been opened up. The en-
couraging showing in the development
20 far, will result in the work being con.
tinued and the large ore body will be
blocked out ready for mining a, such
time as the company may star, actual
mining operations. which at present
would not seem to be in the very dis
tant future. As soon as sufficient ore
bodies are opened in the tunnel it will be
necessary for the company to build a
mill at the tunnel mouth. after which
the ore may be reduced by concentration
to a marketable product, and it is GER
tain to yield handsome revenue.

wasn't a soul in the building except my
self. Suddenly on this stiffness came a
succession of stealthy sounds, like eau
tious footballs on the stairs.
Il dropped my pen and rushed out
into the hall. No sign of anything
there. I listened for a few minutes. My
heart was beating pretty hard, but that
was the only sound | could hear.

NEW ITEM IN STATEMENTS
Secretary Shaw Announces Changes
to Be Made in Treasury
Reports.

Secretary Shaw announces some
changes that will hereafter occur in the
regular daily Statement. OF the condi-
ton of the treasury. There will here
after appear in the classification of ex-
penditureS a new item known as pub
Tic works." This will be quite large,
probably exceedingly $50, 000, 900 per
annum. 1t will include expenditures for
Improvement of rivers and harbors, ir-
rigation, public buildings and Panama
canal. The construction of military
posts, a~rsenals, navy yards, ETC., will
continue to be included in the wal and
navy expenditures. The expenditures OF
the character above indicated for the
past year have been kept from Gay to
day, so that comparisons in the daily
statements between the expenditures
during the current anu the preceding
fiscal year will appear.
Another less important change Will
occur il civil and miscellaneous ex-
penditures. Heretofore salaries and
contingent expenses of the war and
navy departments have been carried
under the head civil and miscellaneous
expenses" They will hereafter be car
ried as expenses of the war and navy,
respectively. This may render COM
parsons between the several items
somewhat ~inconvenient, but it Will be
compensated by a more accurate state
ment of the actual expenses of the war
and navy departments.

Young Washingtonians Repeat the
Criticisms Caught from Their
Parents Lips.

A busy man sat down for a few min
utes on one of the park benches in
Judiciary square on the 14th day Of the
present month. 1t was the noon hour;
the day was June-like; a bird was sing
ing overhead; the grass and trees were
a glittering mass of golden green; and
in every direction flags were waving
with the warm glow of patriotism and
adding unconscious beauty to the color
scheme of nature, relates the Star. Affair
off the man heard st. Aloysius' chime
out the "Angelus;" nearer, st. Mary's
took up the falling notes of st. Aloysius'
dying bells and rang out the triad OF
measured echoes. The fountains were
musical, the flowers sweet, the sparrows
lively, the children joyous. He thought
if pay days could only go on and work
days stop, what a lovely world this
would be for man and beast as we'll as
for birds and kids. He felt happy and
dozy, like a bug in a rug, like a girl in
a coy corner, and in a few minutes
would have been lost to the worries of
the world as well as to its beauties, when
he was Jared by an excited, high
pitched little soprano in spirited discus
sion with an equally high-pitched, but
less emotional, little tenor.
eff you don't gimme the jacks | amt
goin' to play wiV you no more. My papa
said your papa is a time-saver, anyhow.
He telled my mamma so at breaktus."
He amt, neither" said the tenor.
HE is SO. My papa says he is a time
saver" repeated the soprano.
At this point the jacks fell out of the
child's hand, scattering over the gravel
with a clank and rolling under the
bushes; and until they were recovered
there was an armistice. ,
He amt a time-sayer; he amt"
"He is" !
"You don't know what you're talkin'
bout" insisted the tenor; my papa is a
doverment clerk
But he's a tlme-Saver, too. My papa
telled my mamma So"
"Wow!" thought the busy man; "this
is interesting. 1 guess I'll sit up and
take notice. I'd like to learn the art of
time-Saving."
HE amt a time-saver," the tenor
reiterated, manfully. Your papa don't
know everything"
MY papa says your papa is e dim
mickrat as we'll as him. He telled my
mamma so. He said your papa put a
flag on his house ~noggeration day and
didn't put non out to-day. My papa
says he has a apinion of that kind o.
man, and he's a t~ime-SaVer."
We'll" said the boy, defying the
feminine kidlet and public opinion, cts
my papa's flag, and he can put it out or
not, as he wants to-"
Il s'pose he's 'fraid O. gettin' his old
flag wet" said the soprano, scornfully.
Are you goin' to gimme them jacks?"
And then it slowly dawned upon the
busy mans lazy brain that the babies
were discussing a time-server and not a
time-saver.
