COPPER OUTPUT
FOR THIS YEAR
What Newer Properties Are
Expected to Do in Matter of
Production and Costs.

1t is figured in the east that the new
copper production of the present year will
amount to 100000 pounds; that such an
amount will meet all the requirements of
consumers when added to the production
of all older properties, without counting
the Amalgamated mines of Butte and the
independent producers of that camp. 1t is
figured, therefore, that if the Butte mines
are going to add their 150000,000 pounds to
the output the price of the metal can not
be expected to advance nor the mines of
Butte make a profit. On the subject the
Boston News Bureau has the following:

TOOK THEIR MATES ON TRIAL
One-Year Marriages Once Common
Thing in Scotland.

They who talk glibly of short-term
marriages and affinities do not know
that in Scotland a one-year marriage,
termed a handfasting, was once legal
and fairly common. 1t was abandoned
on account of its injustice to the wo-
man.
Scott, in The Monastery mentions
this one-year marriage, making Sir
Julian Avenal say:
I'VE take our wives, like our horses,
upon trial When we are handfasted
as we term it, we are man and wife for
year and day; that space gone by
each may choose another mate, or at
their pleasure, may call the priest to
marry them for life.
There was no disgrace attached to
handfasting. 1t was, indeed, more
often practiced among the great than
the lowly. But the poor girl whose
trial husband rejected her at the
years end rarely found it possible to
secure permanent mate.

The Malacca Wildcats.

In the forests of Malacca and other
islands in the Indian ocean may still
be found the animal known as wild
cat. The upper parts of it ale gener-
ally of clear yellow color, with black
spots; the lower parts are white with
black spots also. On the back the
spots lengthen almost into lines or
rings, black on yellow.
The average length of the animal,
excluding the tail. is almost two feet;
the tail averages nine inches. Its
height when standing erect is about
~ inches at the shoulder and IS
inches at the headquarters. Its tenn
per is mild aid gentle, it plays al
most like a domestic cat, or rather
kitten, chasing its tail and amusing
itself with anything that it can roll
with its paws.

A panaerous Roll

Fl. Engels, an Oakland, Cal, boiler
maker, met with an experience which
nearly cost him his life, while at work
inside 2S-inch water pipe. The line
of pipe ran along a steep hillside and
was held in position by wooden sup
ports. While Engel was riveting two
sections together the supports gave
way and the section in which he was
working started down the hill at ter
rite speed. 1t rolled several hundred
feet and finally dropped into q ditch in
which stream Of water was running.
Engels' companion supposed. of course,
that he had been killed, but rushed to
the ditch. The in-pired man was
taken out alive, but seriously cut and
bruised and almost drowned detroit

Philanthropic Women Disappointed in
Their Proteae.

The late Mrs Clara Dewey How of

work among immigrants made her

one afternoon in Philadelphia, dis

you men are all alike You all re-
semble the orphan that Mrs. Stanton
and her friends brought up. Mrs.
Stanton and body of ladies from her
church, all interested in woman suf-
frage, once took a little newsboy from
the gutter and educated him superbly.
They sent him through school and
college and finally made minister of
him.

Sunday morning for the good ladies'.
They thought they had at last firmly
planted among the male sex strong

best bonnets, they filled the church
that Sunday morning. They We're on
tiptoe with expectation. Who could
tell but that their young charge might
preach in their honor woman suf-

Joke or jest lies not in the tongue of

The doctor on his rounds and the

1t must be admitted that the blum

reason pre-eminent both in number
and in mirth producing qualities. The
reason, of course is not far to seek
the very surroundings, in which they
occur-the very upsetting of ones
