Factors In Reform.
The gentlemen present were unani-
nous that the greatest factors OF
promise in Turkey were the schools
maintained by foreigners, and espe-
cially by the Americans. After the
beginnings of the public education
which have been made, there may
come general enlightenment.
There is great need for the improve
ment of agricultural conditions by the
government itself if people are to
wrest a bare living from the fields,
with prices rising on every hand.
Late at night the conference broke

men under the strain of the great fear
and great discomfort, who could be
patriots if given a chance, but whose
present sentiments are those of utter
antagonism TO the government of
which they are citizens.

scores of predictions that the out
come Of the present regime will be
utter failure. This state of mind on
the part of the principal foreigners
resident in Turkey must necessarily
be heavy drag on the wheels Of the
government.
Another ominous and allied fact Is
that the Christians in the Turkish en-
pire are emigrating by the thousands.
II anybody has the curiosity to exam
Inc the bulletins OF Ellis island during
the present six months he will find a
big percentage Of Turkish subjects
among the arrivals. These men have
fed from the prospect Of military serv-
ice. When put to the test, they show
that the Christian population of Tur
key is not loyal to the government.
Apparently Constantinople is willing
to let these people go, although, taken
as a class, the Christians are more
efficient members of the community
than the Moslems.'

Physical and PsychicaI.

Dr. Farill, lecturing before a social
service class in Chicago, said "the
character of the man as a citizen Oft
EN- was dependent on the physical
training he received" Yes, but his
character was more dependent upon
the moral training he had received.
His environment, his studies, his as
sociations, his methods of thought,
the books he reads, the things he likes
to talk about have more effect on his
character than all the physical exer-
cfses he can pursue. Because sound
muscles, nerves and organs are to be
desired, they should not monopolize
ones interest entirely. The vanity of
the flesh very often leads to the I'M
dermining of ones life.
Building up the physical at the ex-
pense of the psychical Is a disturb
ance Of that equilibrium which means
health. The tendency of the age is
to disturb that equilibrium-to make
the legs of a man the test of his
mightness, which was not the Lords
way, as the Psalms remark. The right
way, in the determination of those i'm
portant relations, is 10 keep the soul
just little ahead OF the body on
its upward march.

HOW TO AVOID MATRIM0NY
kind-Hearted Soul Offers Some Valu-
able Advice on the Matter,
Without Charge.

To avoid getting married is a very
easy matter, either for a man or a
woman. II you are a man, frequent
the dance, especially the coming-out
dance Stick to the debutante as
men of liberal views stick to their
opinions. Hang around Conservatives
when the music Is playing soft and
low, and where there are intoxicating
odors. Hang around summer resorts
and attend musical recitals. There
are other things to do, but this should
be enough.
For a woman to avoid matrimony
is quite as easy. She should live in
a college town, or Washington, d. c.
She should cultivate those young men
who wear yachting suits all Summer
and who know what to do with their
hats on a piazza; who are good at
buckling on skates. who ask If you
have heard this and that who would
just as soon act as ushers at we'd
ding as not, who are perfectly willing
to explain the game OF baseball, who
are willing to introduce other fell
lows.
That's all you have to do to avoid
matrimony But in order to cinch
the matter it may be we'll to add
few more words of advice.
Ladies! If a man comes along who
will not talk baseball with you; who
does not know anybody and does not
want to; who does not even play
bridge; who cannot even tell you who
are the richest girls at the summer
resort and just how rich they are;
who never was an usher at a wedding
and never will be-pass him the ice
pitcher! And do it quick! Then
go and hide,
Men! When you see a girl who
hasn't got crowd around her; who
wears no scalps upon her belt; who
subscribes to the Fome Lady; who
knows how to set a table for five in
a cottage that cost $1,000; who can
give an appropriate Halloween party.

In my opinion it will be better for us to ex- ert our energies in the direction of further developing our ore body and simply leave the ore lie in the mine for the time being. I shall also rec ommend the immediate building Of smelter of 359 tons daily capacity for the treatment of our ores on the ground. The saving in expense will well justify that action.

sLANDERING THE ARMY.

The more that men in and out of the army read the vaporings of so- cialists regarding the service, the more they must be convinced of the wisdom of our warning to all officers of the army. both active and retired
 against alying themselves with the propaganda of that movement. There must be something radically wrong in a case of alleged political reform when its leaders systematically make lying statements about the army One of the latest of these falsifica- tions is found in "The Socialist" :" published in Butte, Mont. where the recruiting officers are at their work Of getting soldiers for the United States army.

The new shaft on the property has reached a depth of within fifty nine feet of the level of the old shaft At the old shaft a drift IS being run off toward the west to connect with the new shaft. From the breast of this drift the pannings show greater values than at the shaft. where five feet of ore gave an aver age value of $50 gold to the ton.
