Mining For Rubies in IIsdia.

The system practiced for obtaining
rubies in the mining districts in Bur-
nah is of the most primitive de-
scription. The mining Shafts are sim
ply holes about two feet square, sunk
to a depth varying up to fifty or sixty
feet. The snoring up of the walls Of
the shaft is most crude, the sides being
supported by posts at the corners and
branches Of small trees secured care
fully against the sides by. means of
stout sticks.
The miner carries a tin pot similar
in shape to a blunt edged cone, on his
head. He squatS down in one corner
and digs between his knees in the oppo-
site corner. The earth or byon, as the
ruby-bearing earth is called, is con
veyed to the top as fast as it is eXca
waited, in small buckets let down from
above.
The apparatus for raising and lower
ing the buckets is simple in the e1-
IRENE. a stout bamboo post, about
twenty feet high, called q maungdine,
is fixed upright in the ground at a con
venient distance from the pit or dwin,
and a long. thinner bamboo. pivoted
horizontally into the upper end Of it so
as to project an eighth from the mine
and the long arm toward the mine

Partisan SwindIer's Ruse.

a traveller remarks that the Partisan
swindler is the subtlest and the most
indomitable one in the world. He was
the other day strolAng through a fash
ionable French shop.
A woman entered and proceeded to
purchase a costly set of silver dishes,
and meanwhile a we'll dressed man
fingered at the doorway as though
waiting for her.
The woman, her purchase concluded,
counted a number Of bank notes and
advanced to the cashiers desk, holding
them in her hand. Then, of a sudden,
the man rushed upon her.
"You wretch" he exclaimed; didn't
I tell you that you shouldn't have those
dishes?" And he slapped her upon the
cheek, tore the bank notes from her
hand, and stalkeu Indignantly out Of
the shop.
The woman tainted. 1t was ten min
utes before she was brought to. and
meanwhile those in the shop, believing
that a family quarrel was In progress,
did nothing. On her recovery the man
ager of the place said regretfuily:
'We are sorry, madam, for this oc-
currence.> Your husband"
"My husband! That was not my hus-
band" the woman cried. "He is a
thief"
She had never seen the man before

Teeth and Temperance.

81 don't suppose many people stop
to think that the formation of their
teeth is an Indication of their tempera-
ment." said q dentist the other day.
did you ever see 4 person with
long, narrow teeth who had not q ner-
vous, high-strung temperament? Did
you ever see a person with short. broad
teeth who was not somewhat phleg-
matte and cheerful? I often wonder
when the pretty girl opens her mouth
to show her ivory white teeth if she
realizes that some of us are sizing up
her disposition.
81 uncolsciously fall into the habit
of looking at the teeth of the people I
meet socially and choosing my &C
quaintances accordingly. That is one
of the reasons why false teeth ought
to be made exactly like the original set.
They have to fit the temperament of
the Observation-Disclosures Record.

Child Pensions in France,

At all times it has been an object
with French parents to teach a child
to be 'proyident and economical. A
child of three can become a member
of the Mutualite by giving only two
cents a week; one cent will entitle it
to getting ten cents a day when it is
ill, and the other goes toward getting
a pension when it is at a certain age.
No one knows how long a child can
live, but what does the contribution
amount to? There is hardly a child
in the world who does not spend that
for candy. Now, a boy at eighteen,
giving thirty-four cents q month to
the society, will when he is sixty have
a pension of seventy-two dollars a
year.-Brooklyn Eagle.

minute. 'No, no: something more

Although mamma missed the point
of his allusion, she was quite taken
with his idea. It seemed to her so
patriotic. and neither Piper nor Gra-

The minister, whom they walked,
feared 'twould be irregular to under

DYING BY THE HUNDRED
Horrible Scenes Encountered Along
Russian Line of Retreat.
Roads From Mukden Crowded F!ith
Two Wheeled Carts Carrying
Wounded Soldiers.

HEADQUARTERS of General Rennen-
kampff, near Oubenepusa, via Mukden.
The road northward was crowded as
far as the eye could reach by a con-
tinuous file of two-wheeled Chinese
carts full of Russian wounded, the
best testimony of the valor with which
the Army of the East. fighting contin-
uously for a fortnight, has defended
every inch of the ground over which
it has been compelled by superior
numbers to retire.
Each cart bore from three to FIVE
wounded men, whose exhaustion was
almost too utter for them to feel pain.
Scarcely a groan or cry was heard
not even the means of the dying. Only
the dismal creak Of the rude wheels
and the thud of the ponies hoofs were
audible.
Most of the wounded had their
heads covered with Chinese blankets
or dirty coats, stiff with cOagulated
blood. hiding wan and dirty faces dis
torted with pain, sunken eyes and eX-
banded nostrils. Here and there was
seen q cart with two wounded mea
between whom was q corpse. which
with every jolt pounded against the
helpless living comrades of the man on
whose face death had sealed the dis
tortion Of unbearable agony.

position has become a valley of death.
