The Mining Stock Lottery

The just published inventory Of an
estate Of one Of Chicago's merchant
princes. who died not long ago, throws
an interesting slde1ight with a decid-
eddy human feature that will be read
lily appreciated far and wide, In adj
dition to a round one hundred thou
sand dollars OF life insurance and
threeyquarters Of, n million dollars in
vested in his own business, the per-
sonal property schedules these items:
1850 shares Of mining stock. par

board a millionaire, only to find that,
in realizing on his fortune, certificates
Of 81 par value which bring in 2 cents
a share are ~top-notchers on the mining
stock market. OF course, It is highly
improbable in this case, any more than
in the ordinary mining stock invest
ment, that the original purchase of
the shares called for anything like a
par value consideration, but no doubt
the inducement was held out, as It al
ways is, that a rich strike would soon
send the stock ~sky-rocketing to airship
levels. Getting rich by pouring money
into the holes in the ground is a game
that has long been played, and will
long continue to be played, but 1t is
also a lottery in which the prizes are
few and the blanks are many.

the following account of the abdica-
tion of Louis Philippe of France on the
day Of that remarkable occurrence:
IAN aid-de-camp of the minister of
war who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated gave me detailed
account Of this most signal piece of
cowardice. He had reviewed the
troops in the carrousel on horseback,
highly rouged, when cry was raised,
'Voiei les Faubourgsv No one had
any orders; no one gave any. The mob
rushed forward, shouting, fVive la
garde nationales-vivent' les troupesP
and shook hands with the outposts.
The king retreated precipitately with
his sons, and a sublieutenant of the
national guard rushed into the palace
asking to see him. He was admitted
and in the greatest agitation said,
Your majesty must abdicate.' Very
well,' says the king. In favor of my
grandson No, unconditionally,' says
the young and self elected mouthpiecs
of public opinion.
would you believe itfo OF all who
were congregated round the royal per-
son Piscatory alone said: Go down
and head your troops. Fight for your
crown and your dynasty He was
overruled, and they all marched out
Of the palace except the Duchesse

MAN AND THE RAT.

The Long Battle Between These Two
Conquering Forces.
The dominion of man over the beasts
of the field does not yet include the
rodents. Aurochs, cave bear and mann
moth we put down with stone headed
arrows. We have wiped out the buff
falo. The lion and the elephant will
soon be gone. But still the rabbit of
Australia cost the colonies millions a
year. Traps, ferrets and poison still
fail to make headway against the rats,
mice and gophers Of the United States.
While our animal enemies have be-
come smaller in size, they have grown
more numerous. 1t is as If nature
after trying vainly to chastise her in
surgent son with catapult had gone
after him with a shotgun.
The fact is that of all warm blooded
creatures there are just two that are
really dominant, successful, increasing
in numbers and range and able to
maintain themselves anywhere in the
world against all rivals. These two
are man and the rats The genus
homo and genus mus go everywhere
and eat everything. They are the two
creatures that dwell In houses and
travel in ships. Each drives its other
rivals to the wall, but neither except
locally and for brief periods has ever
come near to exterminating the other.
Civilized man has fought the common
rat for 200 years, and the battle is
still drawn.-McClure's Magazine.
