A"ah Foes.

The Arab who is fighting with the
Turks in MesOpotamia has some curl.
Gus ways. tIe takes off his shoes
when he enters a house, but keeps on
his hat. He reads and writes from
right to left. He eats scarcely any
thing for breakfast or dinner, but in
the evening he sits down to hot meal
swimming in oil. His sors eat with
hiln, but the ladies of the household
wait till the males have finished.
The Arab rides q donkey when trav-
cling, his wife walking behind, and he
laughs at the idea OF giving up his
seat fGr a woman. The Arab has one
sirong virtue, and that is, he Is rarely
seen tfunk. He is not very affection
ate, is very ignorant, and has So little
Initiative that he rarely takes on any
thing worth doing, or attempts to
larry out any enterprise.

HOLDUP LAWS AIMED AT MINING

Every man OF wealth has has enc
m es, as has every successful man IN
every line of business. No matter
how square he has been, nor how
honestly he has made his money or
attained his success he has many de-
tractors--men and women whom he
has never seen, much less wronged.
And all of them will do him an in
jury when the opportunity is prese ent-
ed, if it can be done with safety to
themselves. The reason can be SUM
med up in one word-jealousy 1t is
the jealousy and dislike of the un-
successful for the successful.
Mining is an industry the very ma
ture of which causes jealousy among
certain kinds of people. You have
met the knockers and SO have We
hundreds OF them One direct result
of this is the detrimental legislation
which crops UP when a period Of
prosperity such as the present time,
is being enjoyed by mining. People

of dollars expended without an iota
of assistance from state or natiC1.

vote as unit against any such Laws,
and TO workstrenuously aga inst their
enactment ii the railroads, machin

west, the prosperity OF which is di-
rectly due to mining, will stand by

by having check on the smelters.
Smelter methods of sampling are
given in considerable detail, so that
the reader may determine for him
self, that, owing to the great change
in the routine and the large number
OF men who would be concerned in
any falsifying system, the smelters
could not afford to give incorrect
returns
1t must also be considered that
when the Copper Queen mine, for
instance, ships to the Copper Queen
smelter, the smelter purchases the
ore precisely the same as they do
the ore of the man who. ships l0tons.
and the samp1ing and umpires are
done under the same conditions.
Detils as to the smelter methods
of sampling are given in Bulletin No.

Financial authroities Who have
never before grown enthusiastic over
the greatness of the mining industry
are commenting upon the enormous
surpluses of the principal copper min
ing companies. They have discovered
that many of these companies have
accumulated financial assets suffi-
cient TO enable them to pay dividends
at the high rates of interest for from
two to three years ahead without pro
ducing another pound of copper dur
ing this period Isn't it a crime for
great western industry to make so
much money at the epxeense of Euro%
peans who insist upon cutting one
anothers throats? Surely the Amer
lean people had no part in the pro
gram OF patriotic murder which is
now occupying the attention OF the
world The financial authorities do
we'll to point out the tremendous pro
fits which are accruing to American
copper producers as result of the
Their fault lies in not having long
ago acknowledged and paraded the
greaster opportunities which the min
ing industry offers the investor The
west abounds with opportunities for
investment, and it is not necessary
to the mining industry that citizens
Of Europe should shed one anothers
blood Under normal conditions the
productivity of the men engaged in
western mining is from two to three
times greater than the productivity
Of the men engaged in any other in
dustry. The mining industry, and
the west as whole, invites SETTLE
menf and development Here lies a
fruitful field for capital, and it is mo
fault of western people if the east
ern brothers fail to appreciate the
great opportunities of this partly OK
plotted region. If 1t is a crime for
the copper companies to make SO
much money, it is within the power
of every American citizen to join
the ranks OF the Grimm ais Mining

NEW YORK IN THE TR0PICS7
Gulf Stream Some Day May Warm
the Icy Waters Of the
North. Z;

Some day the Gulf stream may
smash back the icy water Of the Lab
rador drift and make New York as
warm as European and Asiatic cities
of the same latitude. 1t may even
come to pass, as Father Odenbach OF
Cleveland suggests, that these parts
will be tropical. True, the Jesuit SCI
enlist treasures us by saying that q
great swerving Of the Gulf stream is
improbable, but even the slim posi-
bility fills the Imagination with exotic
pictures. Orange groves in northern
New Jersey, coffee plantations in place
of Suffolk county cabbage patches,
rubber forests in Connecticut, alliga-
tors devouring canal-hoat captains in
Newton creek and anacondas asleep
in Westchester jungles-it would all
be worth while living to see.
But the time Is not yet. This
months heat is only natural. And In
August, when seeming simeon comes
upon US, do not misjudge the Gulf
stream. The hot air will be from the
great wind stream that rises in the
campaign textbooks and flows until q
Monday evening in November, the New
York Sun observes.

Good WAY With Dishes.

Dishwashing for small family was
accomplished with the least possible
labor by q houseworker who managed
the operation as follows: She had
two large 'dishpans standing side by
side on a table on which the dishes
were piled in an orderly manner. The
first pan was filed with boiling hot
soapy water in which the dishes were
quickly washed. The other pan had
In the bottom a rack made to fit,
about three inches high. AS quickly
as the dishes we're washed in the first
pan they were stacked in the second
one, and when it was full clean boil
ing water was poured over them. This
drained through the rack at the bot
tom, and the dishes were left stand
ing until dry and ready to be put
away.

Tack Philosophy.

A thing is tragic or humorous &C.
cording to the point Of view. The
man who sits on tack does not share
the onlookers' amusement. In fact he
is not only panied at his own mis-
fortune, but he is panied because he
occasioned someone else to find de-
gree of pleasure in his unseemly plight.
Now it is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement in this connection:
The person who witnessed the others
unfortunate encounter with the tack
never deliberately sits on the same
tack himself; in fact. he is particu-
larry cautious about sitting down any
where soon thereafter without look
ing for a tack.
Nor is this an Indictment of tacks.
Tacks serve a very real and useful
purpose In this world, but they have
their place, which is not in localities
where they may be sat upon.-Wtl-
liam c. Lengel in the Hoggson Maga
zine.

"Rile" Rebuke.

The prince of Wales has endeared
himself to the British soldiers fighting
i'm the trenches.
There Is a story about regiment
that the prince recently reviewed. A
soldier in this regiment was noted
equally for his bravery and his untidi-
ness. The prince talked to him for .
few minutes, and the man in his confu-
sion could stammer nothing but "Your
rifle Ighness," "Yes. your rile Ugh
ness" mo, your rifle 'ighness."
At the end Of the interview the
prince said, with good-natured glance
at the soldiers accoutrements disor-
dered as usual:
Every good, my man. very good but.
in future, please, not SO much of the
rile 'ighness and little more of the
pipe clay"

BLIND PLEAD WITH INVENTOR
LiGuefied Radium Helps to Restore
Sight-May Be "Great
Discovery.

More than six thousand blind per-
sons, by deputy or directly through the
mails, have besieged Ethan 1. Dodds.
the Pittsburgh inventor of radium
screen "eyes," pleading piteously with
him to restore their sight.
Mr.. Dodds, with the aid Of liquefied
radium, did succeed some months ago
in improving if not restoring the vision
Of a man who suffered peculiar visual
ailment that had made him blind. Talk
Ing of that achievement, the inventor,
who already had spent two fortunes
experimenting along that line, said
he'd give all he could ever hope to pos
sess in this world If he could only
promise sight to few Of the blind who
had thus appealed to him. But, as yet,
he was "only on the edge of great
discovery" and could not, without
many added qualities, hope to apply it
in any general way to the restoration
Of sight. ~
Now Mr.. Dodds has received from
sightless sufferers more than six thou
sand pathetic appeals; some of them
accompanied by signed checks In blank,
saying: "Fill out for any amount you
choose, If you can give me back my
eyes" Post.
