the teeth but brings down the saliva

THE CORNISH TIN DEPOSITS.
Great English Industry Still Capable
of Big Production.

Though the Cornish tin deposits
have been worked from the dawn Of
history, experts hold that vast guam
titles are still to be found in this
metalliferous soil. In the past twenty
years Cornwall has been badly hit BY
the development of tin mining in the
Straits Settlement. The fall in the
price of the metal caused the closing
OF many of the Cornish mines, and
incidentally led to the migration of
Cousin Jacky," as the Cornish miner
is known, to every quarter of the
globe. 1t seemed indeed as IL mining
In the duchy had received a blow
from which 1t could by no possibility
recover. A few mines managed to
survive, notably Dolcoath, which
earned a modest profit ever in the
lean years when tin varied between
ESQ and $40 per ton. With the
metal nearly treble that price, it is
not surprising that SPECTATORS and
p~rospectors are turning avid eyes to
This westernmost county.
The enhanced price of tin is likely
to be permanent, for 1T is due to
natural, not artificial, causes. Tin is
the rarest of all the metals, and the

Certainly" 1 replied in my most
formal tones and then we turned to
go down the steps.
When we had reached the third step
or SO from the bottom the heavy
clouds broke away and the moonlight
streamed up the path and threw the
house and surroundings into the light
again. l turned my head to ltok at
Marjorie, and then started back with
a Cry of horror. Just a little to the
left of the stoop lying at full length
in the moonlight was a big black bear.
Marjorie must have seen the beast at
the same time as I, for she made no
sound and slowly we moved back into
the shadow Of the porch.
There had been a report in the town
of a big bear having escaped from a
travelling Snowman, and this was evi.
IDENTIFY the animal.
I looked around in terror. I had alb.
solutely no weapon but a nail file and
a pocket knife, and I was about to
suggest to Marjorie, who was shak-
ing with sobs that we make a bolt for
it, when in the corner of the porch
l spied a long pruning knife that some
OF the men had left about. I reached
out and grasped the knife, and as
made a move toward the edge of the
stoop, l heard a frightened little cry
from Marjorie. I Immediately re.
turned and gathered her up in my
arms for a moment.
I simply forgot all about the bear
and everything except that l was
holding the woman I loved the best in
the world. And would you believe it,
the habit had become so strong that
even there l proposed, and what is
more the slight affirmative of the head
showed me that I had been accepted.
With a parting injunction to Marjorie
to have no fear, l again moved toward
our enemy.
The beast was evidently asleep, or
something, for it had made no move
since we had discovered it, but lay
there full length. Slowly, and not
making a sound, I approached it and
when I was within four feet of the
furry thing I let him have the knife
as near in the heart as I could judge
in the uncertain light.
Five times I stabbed him, and then
as he made nj move, I approached
with a lighted match to examine his
wounds.

speak; for, instead of blood pouring
from the wounds, all I could see was
a little straw that the knife had pulled
out.
A Shrek of laughter greeted me
when l almost yelled: Marjorie!
Marjorie! This isn't a real bear; it's
only stuffed" ....
II know it." she managed to gasp.
"Papa's guide sent it ito him and the
m-moths got into it and-and w-we put

I was mad. "See here, young WON.

in Heavens name were you crying
about?"
II wasn't c-c-crying; I was ll-laugh'

Of laughter.
I waited until she Gained down and
then I said In my most eve tones:
Marjorie, you promised to marry me
I suppose"
II know I did, you silly boy; but
what has that to do with a stuffed
bear?"
And the little mink laughed again.

FLOOD OF MONEY
POURS FROM MINT
More Than 802,000,000
Coins Stamped in Five
Years.

PHILADELPHIA, July More coins
have been turned out from the Phila-
delphia mint during President Roose-
veIts administration than were made In
the combined terms of the two preceding
Chief Executives, and almost as many
rs during the three administrations from
1855 to 1897.
Superintendent Lands announced yes
terday that S02. 100000 pieces of money Of
all denominations had been coined IN
the past five years. Mr.. Lands ascribed
the increased coinage to the wonderful
activity in the retail trade of the coun-
try, which demands the largest minor
coin Issuance in the history of the mint.
With the money in actual circulation
now reaching $50 per capita the number
OF quarters, dimes, nickels and cents
needed continues to increase at a phe-
nOmenal rate.

the Philadelphia mint has done far bet

CHILDREN'S SUSPENDERS
INJURIOUS TO HEALTH

LONDON. July 2.-Suspenders for chill
cren are denounced by an eminent
physician. He says that this method OF
supporting the stockings is Injurious
when worn too tight, as the suspenders
frequently are. The growth of young
people IS retarded by them, and their
limbs contracted.
For a thoroughly healthy means OF
supporting the stockings, this doctor
would 60 back to the times OF our
grandmothers- The woolen knitted gar
ter. which was then in vogue, was
healthy and efficient. It was a ward
and half long, and was wound around
the leg below the knee, the end being
tucked inside the rest
Although rather cumbersome, grand
mothers gsrters, says the doctor, were
not open to the same objections as the
modern suspenders or elastic garters.
