aCrevo and aGray.D

What is the difference. if any, be tween grey" and gray" aside from the matter of spelling?
 The editor of the Oxford Dictionary some years ago made extended inquiry as to usage and found that opinions in London varied. Replies to his ques- tions showed that in Great Britain the form grey is the more frequent in use, despite the authority of Dr. Johnson and later photographers, who give the preference to gray. Many correspond ents said that they used the two forms with a difference of meaning or appIi- cation. the distinction most generally recognized being that grey denotes a more delicate or lighter tint than gray. Others considered the difference to be that gray is a warmer color or that it has 8 mixture of red or brown. An other group held that grey has more of sentiment, gray more of color. which may mean that grey is a suggestion rather than a positive outline.-New York Press.

Hindu Juggling.

The Hindu jugglers and acrobats are the most skillful in the world. One of the latest stories told of them Is about a performer who went through many wonderful feats perched on the top of 2 single bamboo stick about fifteen feet in height. The top of the stick was tied 10 girdle around his waist. and a leg rest was provided by a cush- ion a few feet down the pole. Perch ed on tEis slender stick he hopped and danced about in the iiveliest way, ac- companicd by The tapping of a drum. It would be considered a skillful feat to walk about with ease on a pair of Stilts fifteen feet in height, but this Hindu showed marvellous power of equilibrium on single stick. He did other things even more wonderful For example. be balanced a light stick on his nose and a heavy one on his chin and then threw the heavy one into the air with his head and caught it on the end of a light one. While balancing the two sticks thus. end on end, he made one revolve in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.

They were a family of a mother and four daughters. The daughters worked in stores. The mother kept house for them, a tiny house, in a tiny street. Sometimes she thought of the big farmhouse of her girlhood days, with it's great fields about 1t, and wide stretches of sky overhead These thoughts came to her particu- larly on dark days. when it was very difficult for any light to struggle into the little home, and the little rooms seemed smaller and darker than ever. Sometimes in a reminiscent mood. she would tell her daughters about the farm. and if they had had ears to hear they would have heard the longing to see the old place speaking right out loud in her voice.
 But they hadn't ears for such things. 4 farmi Oh, fudgei One would be a hayseed 10 go to q farm. Besides, the only time they ever had to go anywhere was during vacation. And to spend vacation on farm! Perish the thought

There is good in everything, it is said. so, perhaps, after this one-room life the small house seems spacious to mother. One bed and three cots comprise the sleeping arrangements. Only one of the party can dress at a time. and the rest lie in bed during the per formance. A washstand is all else that the room will hold.

At the last accounts crosscutting from one. wall to the other was in progress 5n the Santa Fe, on which claim the'e are showings of great promise, and the work continues to show up well. The ore here, of which there was a full face not long ago, carries per cent copper and about s4 in gold. On the Donald D. a crosscut tunnel is beig run towards the contact, which has not yet been reached. On his Wood canyon property Capt Duncan is still running the lower drift tunnel, whcih was reported in ore somessme ago. The fact that operations have been continuous on his property for the past year is evidence taht things are looking good
 Work on the Horace, where a strike of 25 per cent. copper ore was made recently. is progressing favor ably, two men being employed.
 Annual work on G. A. Walkers Catherine claim, adjoining the Der moudy has just been completed. In ! one place on this claim there is about F feet of ore of low grade.

The Historic City of Delhi.

Delhi is the most historic city in all India. It may not be the oldest, al- though it lays claim to a respectable middle age. dating from 1000 B. C. At that time the master of Delhi called himself emperor of all the world, and enperors. at least of India. have ruled there almost ever since. Old Delhi, without the walls. is a city of pictur' esqze ruins. Imperial Delhi. the mod ern city. was created by Shah Jehan. a contemporary of Queen Elizabeth. From the date of the first Moham- medan incursion. A D. 715. perpetual warfare ragged round Delhi until at length she yielded to the irresistible power of the Moguls. The city was al- ternately Mohammedan and Hindu during a great many years and finally. in 1863. was made British by General Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest mosque in India. It took 5.oo0 men six years to build it. The noble tomb of the Emperor Humayan marks the change of creed which followed the NIoslem invasion. while the observa- tory of Jai singh and the deserted hall of the seventy columns recall the short triumph of Brahmanism.
