PlTH AND POINT.

Don't run to the doctor too often.
The average mistake will give you
less trouble if you come right out and
admit it.
Some people waste a lot Of the pres
ent in thinking what they would do if
they could live their lives over.
Good luck and merit always travel
together in one team and bad luck and
w~orthless1ess always in another.
When mother goes to visit her
daughter she takes no party dresses,
but you bet she takes her kitchen
aprons.
If a woman's voice is sweet depends
largely upon whether she is calling us
to dinner OF to get out Of bed in the
morning.
When q woman reads of a horse
"champing restively on it's bit" she
doesn't know exactly what it means.
but she feels that she often does it.

MATCHING THE LIilNE?S.
Odd Pastime and Busincss In the
SIumx OF London.

Odd Pastime and Business In thu
SIumx OF London.
In the little. swarlning streets OIL
ditch and Bethnal Green. linnet singing
is the pastime of thousands and the
business of scores Of men who will bet
themselves to Il standstill Owe the
sweet voiced riyalries Of two wee
brown birds Gagged or the wall Of some
public house whose reputation makes
responsibility timorous of intrusion.
The hard faced least endcr," whose
chief joy is a bloody Limited round
go" in the prize ring of Il resort in
Whitechapel, may be seen next night
in the back room of another pub" sit
ting in breathless silence and behind
locked doors, with Il hundred Of his
kind, while his linnet sings a match
for pleasant song and a stake Of 10
shillings a side.
When the referee says "Now!" the
watch is started, but this does not
mean that the birds are vet engaged
in any rivalry. They sit on their little
percles in silence, and the crowd sits
in silence watching them. Presently
one of the rivals pipes up his opening
lay. This is called the lead off," The
first note of a song is called the 'chuc-
kle." Perhaps the bird which makes
the lead OFF, may stop with this
'%'chuckle' and not finish his song. The
stimulus is enough to start the other
bird. however. and he in turn makes
his "chuck}e" and then without q
break performs the whole of his roper
toire of ten pleasant songs"
The sulky bird is frenzied at this su-
periority and to make up for lost time
sings as if it's heart would break. Both
scorers are busy now 'chalking the
scores" as fast as their pencils can fly.
To the untrained ear the torrent of pip
ing notes is hopelessly intermingled,
and even when one bird is singing
alone it is impossible to tell where one
song ends and another begins.
This sweet piping absorbs the atten-
ton of the audience, while just beyond
the closed door q horde of bloated men
and slatternly women are drinking
themselves more sodden. with BIAS
phemous and vulgar merriment.
The birds are all of purity and senti-
ment and sweetness that can be found
in this east end pub" and they sing
as gladly as if green fields We're their

Deaf an nm Adder.

The expression deaf as an adder" is
from the Psalms OF David. where it
appears in the following form: Their
poison is like the poison of serpents.
They are like the deaf adder that stop

US that there is Il widely prevailing su,
perstition in the east to the effect that
both the viper and the asp stop their

incantations or playing his music by
turning MI ear to the ground and
twisting the point of the tail into the

beneficial to u property.
/ can congratulate you on securing as
Mr.. Gilies' successor, Mr.. John A.
Kirby, a man well and f~avorably known
to the mining world, until a short time
ago superintendent Of the great DAILY
West mine, which has paid SIS, 900, 900
in dividends under his able supervision.
Prior to his connection with the DAILY
West he had contracted the dividend
habit" At the Bullion-Beck, from which
he extracted in dividends, 81, 200, 900.
What a glorious record SIS, 200, 900 Of
new money in ten years time. Mr..
Kirby is a very conservative man, if
possible over-conservative; therefore
the writer advocated not less than a
two years contract with him, but other
members Of the Board favored a con-
tract for one year only. I repeat, we
are fortunate in the acquisition Of j..
A. Kirby, and it is our belief that the
mine win be well managed, no differ
ence who the officers may be, if he is
given the support of the Board to
which he is entitled.
The matter of tonnage, values and
production for the past and ensuing
year is left to Messrs. Gillies and
Kirby.

bility of an entire change of officials

liked. On the 400, or first level, we
are developing both east and west in

vein and Ruby Alley.
We have a large quantity of mill ore
on dump, estimated to be 1900 tons;
value between $40 and $25 per ton.
There are now three lots of ore being
tested by as many different processes.
One lot in Denver, Colorado, one lot in
Reno, Nevada, and one lot in Salt Lake
City, Utah. Our assayer and chemist,
Mr.. Fred M. Field, has also been busy
testing our second class by fine crush
ing, concentration and cyanide without
roasting, and has demonstrated on a
small scale that he can saw more than
ninety per cent of silver and gold. The
same process will also treat u present
high grade shipping ore. AS soon as
we demonstrate which process is best
adapted to the ores, we will lose no
time in erecting a mill and treating all
our first and second-class ores here at
the mine.
