perience in silver and lead mining in
the United States, examined the To-

made of smaples from the mine, which
showed an average of an ounce of gold

variable quantity of silver.
A mining lease was obtained from
the earl of Shaftesbury, the owner of
the property, and force of men was

GEIsHAS OF KYOTO. =
How Their Dainty Dancing Impressed
an American Visitor.

When we arrived at Kyoto, we
drove from the station to the hotel

a coachman in indigo tights and dres,
sing-jacket, white gloves, straw san
dals, and mushroom hat. Just ahead
of the stubby, peevish horse ran
nimbly another man, literally foot.

what sounded like "Git!" to the
crowds, and now and then dexter.
ously swinging an over-trustful baby
out of harms way, just like a Central
Park policeman.
But that night, when I had sewed
princessy-edges of ruching into my
economy gown, and we went to the
grand performance at the Geisha
School, we trundled along as usual
in our beloved 'richshaws, each with
its glow-worm lantern swinging
cheerily on the handle-bars.
On the floor, in little four-by-four
boxes, people squatted on their
heels, as at any Japanese theatre.

ed people were marvellously clean.
On each side, a narrow, polished
boardwalk (called the Flower Path)
led from the rear of the theatre to
the stage.
On one side sat the orchestra,
consisting of from two to six girls
according to the dance), playing
their samisens, with plaintive disre.

and low, but made certain throb,
curiously persistent, and-after
time-more suggestive to me than any
"low music" | ever heard. Sometimes
one of the girls recited, in a voice so
strangely unnatural as to suggest
caterwaulng; but I'm told this is the
acme of art.
Just as the Japanese "supes' per
form their tasks on the stage in a
naively obvious manner, trusting as
ostriches, in their black, cOwled
gowns, SO here certain old women
squatted calmly on the stage. helping

There were many dances, of which
we, alas. saw but three. Still
though | am a poor, ignorant foreign

they gave me intense pleasure. The
subtle symbolism passed innocently
over my stupid head, but there was
seductive ileXibility, especially OF the
hands and wrists, and finish extra

with an alluring, SinuOuS motion,
snapped open and manipulated their
fans in a dozen bewildering ways,

fallen petals of the peach-blossom,

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING.

The partisan attempt of the bureau
of labor in its last report to show that
wages have advanced more than the
cost of living is not meeting with
the approval OF the workingmen or
those with limited incomes. The ques'
ton is one that can be settled at once
by each individual without taking
counsel of the paid Republican statis-
ticians on the eve of an election for
congress. A dispatch from Pittsburg
to the New York World effectually
di:poses of the bureau figures. when
it says: Despite the assurance of the
bureau figures, that the advance in
wages has outsrriped the advance in
the cost of living. it would be difficult
TO convince Pittsburg families of this
fact The Pittsburg workingman can
not believe it. The men who have no

those whose salaries are fixed and do
