LOVE AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.
Constant as Lovers, Men Can by No
Means Be Described as Models
for Husbands. "a

as soon as the Spanish lover
attains the rank of fiance he is
allowed TO visit the fair one in
her home aud to walk by her
side in the streets instead of
trOtting behind. He never, how
ever, gets away from the inevi-
table chaperOn, and it is the
cOmmonest of sights to see a
poor mamma walking in melan-
choly silence behind couple
who entirely ignore her as they
gaze into one an6ther's eyes and
make undying prOtestations of
affection. Engagements often
last for years, owing to pecuDi-
airy considerations which were
lost sight of in the first moments
of infatuatiOn. 1t is interesting
to note that the result of this
free play of the inclination is
that few old bachelors are to be
found in Spain. The men marry
young, and generally for love.
In the professions a man has
generally a family of four or five
children at an age when here he
is barely beginning to think of
settling down. And the mar
riage? Does it lead to the hap
piness one would expect under
the conditions? Here is the an
swer, which / give as a final
word; One can say that in
Spain with marriage separa-
ton commences; the lovers
who could not bear to be
separated for a day, who
passed hours gazing at one an
other from the street and the
window. when they become man
and wife Immediately begin TO
live lives apart&the man has his
business or his pleasures, while
the wife manages the house,
which the husband seems to
avoid with the same persistency
he, as lover, put into watching
the balcony for hours in wind
and rain.-Frances, in T. P.'s

SNAKES ON RIFLE RANGE
Unwelcome Visitor Gave Expert
Marksmen Chance TO Show
Skill with Revolver.

An interesting though i'm
prOmptu exhibition Of skill with
the revolver was witnessed on
the state rifle range while the
members of the National Guard
and the Fort Pitt Rifle club were
practicing, says the Pittsburg
ChrOnicleTelegraph. A black
snake more than four feet long
has been making a speciality Of
appearing in various trees near
the 3OO-yard firing point and
causing some mild excitement
among the shooters. Repeated
attempts have been made to
take his scalp, but without sue
cess, leading some of the skilled
marksmen to believe that he
must have seen the bullets con-
ing.
A cry of '"The snake, the
snakew was raised about two p.
m. and Immediately every rife
man left his post and joined in
the chase. His snakeship was
found enscOnced in a knOthOle
near the top Of a dead walnut
tree, his head only being visible.
Capt. E. B. Riddle, inspector of
rife practice, who tOted along a
.3S calibre army revolver, took
up a good strategic position a
little way from the tree, while
the other marksmen rallied to
his support on either flank.
Capt. Riddle drew a bead on
the wicked-lOOking head prOtrud-
ing from the hole, the spectators
holding their breath in anxious
suspense, and fred. There was a
loud report, a cloud of dust from
flying bark, wild squirming in
the knotEOle and Mr.. Snake
dropped heavily to the ground.
He as shot, clean through the
neck.

INFANTS m HOT WEATHER
Medical Writer Gives Some valuable
Pointers as to Their Proper
81" Care and Treatment.

/. l.. POlOzker states that al
most invariably infantile trou-
bles are due to improper feeding.
Mothers milk should always be
examined by the physician from
time to time while she is nursing
the infant, according to Hollis
simple method. The ideal wet
nurse exists only in the magma
ton in this country. Laboratory
milk. properly prescribed, is one
of the most valuable resources Of
the physician. Infants cannot
an be fed alike.
Even those of the same age
and weight cannot always be fed
on the same formula. 1t is the
digestive capacity of the child
which should be the governing
factor. In speaking of the pre-
ventive measures in the treat
ment of summer diarrhea, the
writer advocates laboratory
milk or a good clean milk. The
mother ought to be educated in
the care of the child when diar-
rhea occurs.
AS soon as this condition APP
pears a teaspOOnful of castor oil
should be given to the patient,
but no food. Whisky in waterand
rice or barley water are also in
dicated. Only half the quantity
of milk that the child can take
in health should be fed to it.
The mothers should be taught
he Importance of various by
gienic measures, and should be
instructed in the value of fresh
air, water excursions, clothing
for the children, bathing, and
the proper care of the napkins.

LIVE LONGER IN COUNTRY.
Statistics Show That City jewellers
Fave Much Higher Mortality
Rate-some Healthy Spots.

The average annual death rate
in the registration states in the
years 10000 was IFS per 1000
in the cities of 5000 or more
population in 1900 and 1913 per
1000 in rural districts. which, as
the term is here used, includes
everything outside these cities.
Rhode Island is the only regis
tration state in which the rate
was as high.in the rural districts
as in the cities. In Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and New
Hampshire the urban rate ex.
ceeded the rural by less than one
per 1000. The excess was great
est in New Jersey, New York
and Maine.
The higher mortality for cities
is due largely to the fact that
residents Of rural districts when
critically i'll resort to the hos
pitfalls and institutions in the
cities for treatment, and that
the deaths occurring in such
cases are registered in the cities,
thus increasing the urban NOR
tally.

Evansville drove to Buffalo TO
buy bill of goods for his cOun-

stairs and waiting for his goods
to be packed, he noticed several
men using the speaking tube.
After awhile his curiosity got
the better of him and he asked
the proprietor what that thing
was.
"A speaking tube" said the
proprietor. "Speak to some one

withstanding the large increase
in receipts every piece of mail
received was opened and treated,
leaving no accumulation at the

A new record was made in the

Epochs of Chemistry.

The annals of chemistry are a
history with five grand epOchs,
according to Sir James Dewar.
The first includes what little was
known of chemistry as the In
dams. Egyptians, and Hebrews
taught it, and the technical arts
Of the Greeks and Romans. and
extends down to the time of the
later Alexandrian schools whei
chemistry appeared as branch
of occult training The second
period, that of alchemy. lasted
until about the sixteenth cen
fury, when it was superseded b.,
the epoch of Paracelsus and med
zeal chemistry. In the fourth,
iDaugurated by Boyle, chemistry
for the first time stood out as a
definite subject with a special
field of investigation apart from
application, and with a body of
ascertained facts and methods
while in the fifth, under the guild
ance of LavOisier, it entered on
it's modern phase, becoming an
exact science Of number, weight
and measure.

Metal Position Strong With Producers Striving to
 Increase.
CONSUMPTION NOW
 EXCEEDS OUTPUT.

BOSTON, May 9.-The sale of round lots of Lake Copper. June delivery at 19c a pound, and of spot at 19 l-4 to 19 1-2. directs attention to the produc- ing properties Tn regard to earnings. These are the highest prices seen .n many years. Copper producers here, in Spain and in Mexico, are deriving great profits owing to the hlgn level of prices. Every cent rise adds a clear profit of millions annually 10 tpe large producers. The Butte and Ari- zcna camps. however, are corbly ben efited for the reason that in addition to increased profits from Ghe higher prices, they are reaping a harvest from increased production. The Anal gamated mines are profitins nIUIe largely from this situation than any mines in the world. The recent agreement of contending interests re- leased valuable mines that had heen closed for years and the recent dis coveries of richer ores in the Ana conda also added to the production. Owing to increased deliveries of ore and to richer ore, the output of metal at the Washoe smelter is increasing 'ANA SANe@N IdPAuhey .IAPCItS lndt there is no doubt that Anaconda's production is going to be not only greater. but much greater than any mine in the world. This years pro drction promises to reach 130, ,0O0. 900 pounds. Its cost of production, owing to richer ore and higher percentages 2f geld and silver in the ore, it Is es- th.iated, Probably will not exceed s cents a pound. This means that Ana conda will have an earning power of between 40 and 50 per cent. on its stock. As the company now mas a cash surplus in it's treasury estimated to be about 50 per cent, an advance in the dividend to 20 per cent. per an- mum is looked for. Amalgamated will probably revert to its old per cent. dividend at the next dividend perou, in the opinion of many members of the trade. Its revenue from copper should exceed $23,OOO,O00 this year, while that from its lumber and coal mines win also be considerable.
 Spot copper has not been so scarce either here or in Europe for many years. The reason is fQuRd in the faet that while consumption has iu- creased throughout the world, produc- tion has increased in but few places.
 The great Rio Tinto mines in Spain will produce no more this year than last, according to official statements recently made Our Lake mines will show but a small increase this year. If Japanese production increases a; all, the increase will be needed al home in the reviving industries of that empire.

MITCHELL MINES IS
 FUTURE SOURCE OF SUPPLY

D. E. Elsoa, general manager of Geo Mitchell's La Dicha copper mines in the state of Guerrero, recently gave out an interview in Mexico City in which he spoke of this wonderful cop per deposit as follows:
 We have at least 12,000, 900 tons or copper ore blocked out for treatment. That was the case some weeks ago when I measured it up. Since then we have not Laid much attention to learning what we have, but have just kept up our work. We are now more concerned with the building of the furnace and mills and the construc- tion of our railroad into Acapulco. All these things are going on nicely and we will have our reverberatory fur naces in operation within short time.
 Even we do not know what the eSs tent of the La Dicha lode is, and as l say 1t will take some years yet to develop it's extent. We have prospect ed 1t extensively and in so doing have shown that there are 100000 tons in sight, and that is all we care about for the present We think that we have the greatest property of its kind in Mexico, and believe that it vii even eclipse the Cananea copper mines"
