old miners fair warning that they
may, it they like, 90 on producing
gold, but that it is not at all neces-
sary for them to do so. Hence
forth, Mr.. Hunter will attend to
the gold production by making it
out of silver. Well, anyway, this
will be nice for the silver miners.
We have sort of COTTON into tie
habit of shifting from gold mining
to silver mining and back again,
to suit the fancy Of our currency
controllers, so 1t won't sprain the
back of the mining industry to flop
once more. Mr.. Hunter, however.
~ his altrulstic way, says he will
protect the gold miners. He will
simply make up the deficit in pro-
duction. The world ought to have
abont go much gold per year. If
the miners don't get it out, Mr..
Huuter will As this deficit often
amounts to $1O0,OO0,000 in a sin
gle year, and as Mr. Hunter can
produce it for next to nothing, il
is evident that he won't have to
"work OUT during vacation, to
keep the wolf from the door, even
1T he does no more than even up
The gold production. There would
be some years, in fact, when be
would only need to turn out two
or three millions for pocket mon-
ey, and then go out camping, or
indulge in some other economical
amusement till deficit occurred,
when he could come hack and
grind out the necessary millions.
Mr.. Hunter says he has no stock
for sale, claiming that some pro-
minent bankers are backing the as
set currency movement and there
are people sufficiently credulous
to believe Mr. Hunters statements
and conclude that asset currency
is the only safeguard against this
food of gold. The
"plant," however, is probably one
designed principally to output
press bulletins. = Mining Science.

A very interesting bulletin has
been issued by the Department of
Commerce and Labor, entitled
Earnings of Wage-earners.
Among other things, it shows the
geographical distribution of high
and low wage scales. ALI wage
earners, men, women and children,
are,fare better in the western states
than anywhere else. Montana,
Wyoming, Nevada and Arizona
pay the highest wages OF all, aver
aging over SIS per week. Colora-
do, New Mexico, California, Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho come
next, with an average of $12 and
$15. Utah is the only low-wage
Western state, standing as il does
in the same class as most of the
Nothern and Middle West states,
The lowest wages of all are paid in
the southern states and in the
New England states. Utah's low
average is shown to be due to the
low wages paid women. The
Utah women, over 16 years of age,
get only So to IS per weeek, while
her men get from $l2 to SIS per
week. Whether it is because the
Norman mon dc 10. wish .o.en-
courage women to earn their own
living, or whether it is that the
women find the Mormon men SO
attractive that they are willing to
work for them for less money than
the average, the Department of
Commerce and Labor sayeth not.

to be very gallant. Women get

companied by three Mexicans
who We're working uader him
on the section 1T Victoria, for
the purpose ofpay ing up bills,

trains had passed and cleared

upon his crew and went to the

name, wanted to fight and or
dered Mr.. Randle and the
Mexicans not to put the hand
Car on the track. However,
the car was finally placed on
the track and Lopez persuad
ed to get on. When the car
arrived at point just above
the yards, Lopez started a
fight with the other two Mex
leans and at the same time
abused and cursed Mr.. Ran
die, finally driving the Mexi-
cans off the car, as they were
trying to avoid fighting him
The foreman succeeded in
getting all Of them back on
the car and went a short dis
tance when Lopez again ran
them off the car. This time
Randlc tried to make Lopez
quit and get on the car, but
Lopez called him all kinds of
names and knocked him down
and jumped on him. AS he
was a powerful Mexican, Mr..
Randle saw he could not
do anything with him and cal
led to the other Mexicans for
assistance. AS they failed to
answer, Randle grabbed for
his gun; at the same time Lo
PEI caught it and they rolled
up and down the track for
eight or ten steps, when K an
die, seeing he could not get
the gun away from Lopez and
that Lopez was about to
wrench it outof his hand, pull
led the hammer back and let
it go off, the shot taking effect
in the body Of Lopez; then
Lopez weakened and Randle
shot him again, at the same
time getting up and calling for
the other Mexicans, but they
failed to return. Then he
got on the hand car, came
back to Hachita and surren-
dered to the officers. The
justice of the peace had the
deputy summons six men as a
coroner's jury, who, upon ex-
animation, found that Randle
was justified in killing Lopez.

ket street east of Front. and were
made up of dry goods boxes laid in
the mud end to end. some high and
some low, the town was overrun with
rats of all colors-gray, white. brown
and black. At night they would
crawl out Of their holes and run along
the uneven walks. They were so thick
on the streets during the spring of the
year named that women were afraid
to go out after nightfall, and the
men who ventured forth on the poor.
ly lighted streets often stepped on a
dozen rodents in walking the distance
of a block. 1t was no uncommon thing
to see men with crooked canes ON the
sidewalk playing shinney, the rats be-
ing used in place Of knurs. In that
way many were killed.

Robber to Death.


This bit of local color ia from the
Japan Times: AT Shinokubo, . small
village In Soshu. consisting Of only
20 houses, several cases Of robbery
have lately occurred to the great
alarm Of the villagers A diiigent
search instituted by them for the Of
fender proved an utter failure. The
community consequently held mass.
meeting and unanimously agreed upon
cursing the robber to death. A vir-
tuous priest Of the locality was &C.
cordingly applied to for the purpose.
He, however. declined to curse the
robber to death, IN act too cruel for
holy man like him to resort to, but
promised that he would paralyze the
robber by his powerful prayers, SO as
to disable him and lead him to repent
ance. Thus the priest commenced his
lamentations. But, behold. the robber
continued his subtle operations to the
indignation of the entire community.
The priest has been condemned as q
worthless fellow, and the villagers
have taken upon themselves the task
OF repairing every day to the village
temple by twos and threes to offer
horrible prayers by which the robber
is doomed TO an early and fearful
DEATH"

be to patent some new sort of UNI

umbrella has existed for 10000 years
and yet in all that time 1t has not
once been improved. To-day, as 1t
did two or three hundred years ago.

The Life Plant.

Visitors to Bermuda often take
home as a souvenir of their trip the
leaves of an interesting plant of the
houseleek family 1t is known as the

to shrivel and fade they send out
little shoots which in turn bear leaves
that continue to grow and remain
fresh and green for months. The
leaves are ABOUT four inches long,
rich green in color and of waxen tex
ture. II one Of the leaves Is pinned to
the wall indoors 1t will begin to sprout
within three OF four days, be 1t winter
or summer. At first the top part Of
the leaf will begin to wither and
shrivel up, and this Is likely to con.

will sprout from the edges. and in
time diminutive green leaves will ap-

seems to depend on the amount Of
heat and light which they obtain.
