MINING GOLD IN IRELAND.


Company Developing Lead First
Worked I'm 1870.
Gold is being mined in Ireland, incl
dental to the development of a mine
of lead sulphide. commonly known as
yalena. The mine is in the Glentogher
valley, a few miles from the market
town of Carndonagh. County Donegal,
says the New York Tribune. There is
no indication, however. that the min
ing of the gold will interfere In the
slightest degree with the emigration
from Ireland, which has been so gen.
eral for the last few years or that II
will relieve the labor situation Of the
Emerald Isle.
The locality Of the mine is near the
northern extremity of Ireland. on the
peninsula of I~nnishowen. The galeHa
deposit was worked in 1870 for silver
and lead, but for some reason the en-
terprise was abandoned. Another at
tempt was made to work the mine In
1860, but this also was unsuccessful
for lack of capital. Some months ago
a Belfast man, who had practical ex-
perience in silver and lead mining in
the United States. examined tie local.
ty. A number of assays were made oil
samples from the mine. which showed
an average of al ounce of gold a ton,
60 per cent OF metallic lead and a vari-
able quantity of silver.

Of his acquaintance with European
civilization. Not long g the story
runs, he visited his private menagerie
with q camera In order to photograph

the beast by the ear while he photo

minister approached the cage and.
thrusting his hand between the bars,
grasped the animal by the ear. With
a fierce growl the animal sprang to its
feet, while the minister chung grimly
to it, divided between fear of the tiger
and dread of the sultan. At that mo-
ment, t. his inexpressible relief, the
camera clicked, and his ordeal was
over. His courage did not go unre-
warded. The sultan has distributed
numerous copies Of his photograph as
an evidence of his skill as a photogra-

Consul Haynes Of Marking, writing
about female education in China, says,
according to the Washington Star:
The viceroy of Liang-Kiang province.
Choufu, one of the most progressive OF
the higher Chinese officials, has recent
ly founded a school for girls In Nan
king. 1t is supported by subscription
from a number Of leading Taotais Of
Marking, who have raised $4,296, and
the viceroy has subscribed $1,432 an
nually. The school is located In a
quiet place with spacious buildings.
Six women teachers have been engaged,
three to teach English sne three Chin
csc.
"The opening of this chool is an i'm
portant thing in Marking" says Con-
sui Haynes, sas 1t is really the birth of
female education In this ancient city.
for, as has been remarked, in essry new
undertaking for the advance Sut of
China, unless the Chinese THEMSELVES
feel the need and assume the respon-
sibility, 1t cannot be said to have taken
root in Chinese soil. The interest taken
in this school by the leading officials
Of Marking indicates the dawning Of
freedom for China's girls and women.
For the last few years the missionary
girl schools have been doing good work.
but this is the first school established
under the patronage Of the viceroy.
China Is awakening to realize that o
nations strength and prosperity lie In
the education Of her daughters"

the grating began. The man who holds a term policy Is
likely to realize more on lit when 1t natures than du
those whose policies expired in recent times. The ex-
penses of running the companies are being lowered. The
absurdly large salaries of the heads of the companies And
the big commissions allowed to favorites of the insurance
chiefs have all been abolished, so far as the general pub
lie has learned. The steals of various sorts which seem
to have been perpetrated with considerable freedom In
the past few years have ended. In the absence of all
these drains much larger sums will necessarily be left
for division among the policy holders. Pay up your pre-

CONCERNING THE CLOCK.
some of the Peculiar Things About
a Tfmekeeper.

Some OF the Peculiar Things About
a Tfmekceeper.
Did you aver take time to consider
the clock? You Should have done so,
If you have not, seeing the clock gives
you the time whenever you ask it.
The clock Is so sensitive that it con-
stantly keeps Is hands before Its face.
This is due to the fact h a through no
fault of Its own it has been doing time
for many years In the most public man.
ner, says the New York Herald. 1t may
be that as the face of the clock has no
eyes, nor mouth, nor. nose, nor chin, nor
cheeks, nor any OF the usual facial APP
purtenances, it keeps its hands over 1t to
hide these defects. But this can scarce
~ be, we fancy, because its hands have
no fingers nor thumbs, nor has it any
arms, and any attempt to conceal one
defect would only expose another.
Most clocks have only two hands, but
many have three. and 1t is somewhat
remarkable, anatomicaliy as well as
numerically, that the third hand is the
second hand. 1t may also be remarked
that the minute, hand Is not the minute
hand, for it is longer than the hour
hand
The clock has neither feet mol legs.
but it runs just the anne 1t may be
fast or slow. but 1t does not walk. 1t
always runs and 1t never runs up. 1t
runs down unless 1t is kept running
round. Providence wisely did not give
feet to the clock.
The clock has a key but nc lock, and
for that reason even the most ignorant
person never tries to open a clock with
the key.
Some clocks strike and some do not.
but no clock ever strikes with Its hands
Just why a clock should be 50 peculiar
is no affair of ours
(Of course this is no joke. The strik-
Ing Of a clock may be an affair Of hours,
but 1t is not spelled the same way. We
are not trying to be funny. This is a
dignified article. Please do not inter-
rupt us again.
That passage in Scripture which says
'sBy their works shall We know them"
does not refer to clocks, but 1t might
we'll have done so, because that Is the
way a good clock is known.
The clock speaks a universal Ian
guage. and no matter whether 1t Is a
German clock, or French, or Spanish. or
Italian, 1t can tell you the time just as
distinctly as IL 1t were plain Yankee.
This clock differs from all other hu-
man affairs In that while their opera
tons end when they are wound up, the
clocks do not begin until they are
wound up
There are 10 clocks In heaven, be-
cause there is no time there. Neither
is there n night, and an eight-day
clock wouldn't know when to stop.

h SCHOOLGIRL Ii Pampered.
An interesting picture Of a young
girls life In the palaces of the very
rich Is offered by Emily Harrington in
her article, Housekeeping on Half a
Million a Year." In Everybody's. She
says:
'sThe luxuries t. which these chill
dren, particularly the young girls, are
early accustomed, are, it seems to an
outsider, of dubious advantage. The
~14-year-old daughter Of such a home
remarked one day, I was looking for

one of these brooches was studded with
gems. This girls private suite of
rooms was luxurious, although the ap-
pointments were appropriate to her
age. Her sitting-room was furnished
in white enamel, covered with roses
and morning glories. Her fireplace
fender and firedogs were of silver as
we'll as the fire irons and the stand.
When she chose to take a meal In her
own apartments she INDUCED her Ian
guor on a brocaded couch, propped up
with embroidered pillows, and as her
youthful appetite was unimpaired, a
servant was detailed to take each
course to her as 1t was served in the
dining-room. And yet she Is still only
a schoolgirl, with no part in her moth

Many people have heard the "Marche

that it had its origin In q rather ghast-
ly after-dinner frolic.
The painter Ziem, still living In hale
old age. relates how, some ffty-six
years ago, be had given a little Bohe-
milan dinner In his studio, which was
divided by hangings into three sections.
In one Of these was q skeleton some-
times used by Ziem for "draping" and
an old plano covered with a sheet.
During the after-dfnner fun Ziem
and the painter Ricard crept into this
section, and wrapping the old sheet like
a pail around the skeleton carried it
among their comrades, where Polignac
seized it, and wrapping himself with
the skeleton in the sheet sat down to
play a queer dance OF death at the
wheezy old piano.
In the midst Of 1t all, Chopin, who
was OF the party, was seized with an
inspiration, and, seating himself at the
piano with an exclamation that
brought h roysterers to their senses.

Capt. j. C.. Voss Ends adventurous
Voyage OF Five Years.
How politics "and, incidentally,
luticns," are run in Ecuador, is told by
Capt. j. G. voss, f. r. G. s., who left
here in 1901 to circumnavigate the
globe I'm the Indian canoe Tillikum.
hewn rom a single tree trunk, says the
Victoria (B. c. correspondent of the
New York Herald. The adventurous
cruise was successful and the Tillikum
is now on exhibition In London.
Capt. voss returned to New York
shortly before Christmas and became
interested In an Ecuadorian mining ven-
ture that looked well ON paper, where
allowance need not be made for the
revolutionary eccentricities OF the
South American temperament. Arriy-
Ing at Guayaquil on Jan. 10, the cap
tain found revolution In the air, fever
rampant and business the last thing
thought of.
ION Jan. 49," he Gays, 81 witnessed
the battle in which the Ecuadorian rev.
olutIonists overthrow the government
The reyolutionists, who, I afterward
learned, had been planning for some
time, went OF to the Guayaquil police
station, rushed the place, grabbed their
rifles from the guardsmen, broke open
the doors and took a supply Of arms
ahd ammunition. With the captured
munitions they began shooting up the
town promiscuously. firing In the air
and up and down the streets, making it
decidedly unsafe for the innocent by
standers-
Then, as they gained recruits, led by
a man named Ofarrel, they marched to
the government barracks, eight or nine
blocks away, and attacked the troops.
The latter met them and they had a
fierce battle In the wide street, all being
packed pretty solid 1t was bad fight
ing, for In the two hours no fewer than
253 were killed and more than 300
wounded.
This battle ended the revolution.
The government troops surrendered to
the revolutionists. Next morning the
government at Quito followed suit. The
revolutionists took charge Of things and
our mining concession was not worth
the paper 1t was written on l left
Guayaquil, crossed to Colon and came
home"
Capt. voss' cruise began at Victoria
on May 81, 1901, with N K. Luxton as
his companion. He sailed first to Suva
FIJI, where Luxton left him, being re-
| placed by a sailor named Begene. The
latter fell overheard when 1900 miles
of Sydney, taking the compass with
him, and voss made the journey to New
South Wales without compass, ~navigat-
Ing by dead reckoning and the set Of
the ocean swell.
Fierce electric storms, a series Of
bad waterspouts and the difficulties Of
navigation without a compass saved
him from madness. He subsequently
went with the canoe to Melbourne, Ho-
bart (Tasmania), New Zealand, the
| New Hebrides (where he was captured
by cannibals and barely missed being
e~aten), Thursday island and Durham.
The canoe was thence taken overland
and exhibited at johannesburg and Pre-
toria. R~e-embarking at East London,
Voss voyaged around the Cape of Good
Hope to Port Elizabeth and Capetown,
afterward sailing to st. Helena, Per-
nambuco, the Azores and London.

consistent? Is there any good and suffcing reason why
the doctor should spell teacher with an "a" and feed
ing with a double "e"? Why should the "a be pre-
served in rinstead' and dropped from pleasure" and
"read?v What necessity or advantage in spelling it
come" when 'kum" will serve the purpose, or backed
when "backt" or "bakt' would seem to fit any emergency?
These are the puzzling questions that come up to con-
found and perplex the skeptic who is willing to be con-
WINGED.
The trouble seems TO be that phonetic spelling as at
present urged is a hit-and-miss, a go-asyou-please, affair.
Johnny has his own idea of the way a word sounds,
Jimmy has his and the good DR.. Andrews his; and so it
goes down the line that stretches out to the crack Of
doom.
1t may be that phonetic spelling is coming as surely In
the future as the air ship and the eight-hour journey to
New York but meanwhile its advocates should get to-
gether and settle on a few plain and easily absorbed rules
which will give the p%roverbial verisimilitude to an other
wise bald and unconvincing method.
DR. Andrews is an able man and capable scholar. Let
him perfect his system and give it to US for consideration
otherwise we must consider it what Artemus Ward, that
great master Of the phonetic school, called a COAX
Chicago Post.
