Passing of a Type.

The hard contemporary fact is that
the gloriously named authors are be-
coming sadly rare, even rarer than
long-haired actors. The long-haired
musician is still with us, though one
of the most eminent masters of the
pianoforte has yielded something to
the modern spirit by submitting briefly
to the shears. Individual age has
here a potent infuence-age, or the
getting through with things. What a
wonderfully picturesque person Dick.
ems was at twenty-five! And how
matter-of-fact at forty! Browning suf-
fered a similarly SOLDERING and averag-
ing effect. The same thing is true of
many other figures in that period, and
it is not easy to guess whether the
changing fashion set in during their
middle years, or whether advancing
age would have effected the same
1ge in any case.-Alexander Black,

Mushroom ouarrles of Paris.

To the south of Paris, the country is
hOneycOmbed with abandoned quarries,
some of which are of enormous extent,
resembling the shafts of great mines,
being from 300 yards to half a mile in
length and lying from 80 to $50 feet
beneath the surface of the ground.
In these old quarries are grown
nearly all the mushrooms consumed in
the French capital. Mushrooms flour
ish in these caverns at all seasons, and
they have, in Paris, the reputation of
being superior in flavor to those grown
elsewhere. The worst enemy of the
mushroom growers is a species of fly
that swarms through the dark passages
in such numbers as sometimes to ex-
tinguish the candles of the wOrkmen
The larvae of this fly destroy the beds
before the shoots have emerged above
the ground.

Queer LAWS.

There are in force in Switzerland
certain laws which, in the hands of
the INSCRIPTIONS, may work great
havoc with personal rights and liber-
ties. This is a point concerning which
there can be no dispute. For instance,
in most cantons men and women may
be punished not only for what they
have actually done in the past, but al
so for what may possibly result in the
future from what they have done.
Suppose a man is spending week by
week all he earns. Then the local au-
thorities, acting in conjunction with
the police, may send him to a penal
workhouse, on the pretext that his
conduct is such that he may later be.

James L and Mnnnnofv.

Soap, which the manufacturers have
advanced in price by 5 shillings a
hundredweight, used to provide James
/. with a comfortable addition to his
income, says the London Chronicle.
That canny monarch granted the
Company of Soapmakers of Westmin-
ster the monopoly for the making OF
soap in England in return for pay
ment of G6 per ton on all soap pro-
duced The importation of soap was
forbidden, and officers were appointed
to deal with illicit soap boiling, its
manufacture, even in private houses
for domestic purposes, being punish
able by heavy penalties. Moreover, a
proclamation was issued that "the
soap made by the company is good,
sweet and serviceable for our people.
The annual revenue derived by the
king from this source amounted to
about 100000.

SOME ORE DEPOSITS YOUNG
Newly Formed Veins Have Produced
Such Famous Mining Camps as
GoIdfieId and Tonopah.

Ore deposits ranging in age from the
time when the most complex living
thing on the earth was a crablike crea-
ture down to the time when mammals
were highly developed have been found
in this country. Among the younger
deposits is a group known to geOlO-
gists as the late tertiary veins.
These veins are widely distributed
and are of particular interest not only
because they have given rise to famous
mining camps such as TOnOpah, Gold
field and COmstOck, but because, owing
to their comparative youth, the surface
on which they crop out is not greatly
below that whOch existed at the time
of their origin. Thus by considering
the surface conditions and by labOra-
tory experiments the phenomena they
present can be interpreted more accu-
rately than those of older deposits
which are at greater depths and are
more deeply cut by erosion.
Many Of the late tertiary veins in
this country, all inclosed in lava rocks
or closely associated with them, are
found in Nevada.

It's not Catching.

A four-year-old boy in Columbus has
been having lots or fun the last few
months playing with a neighbor's dog.
The friendship seemed to be mutual.
The boy was interested in everything
that pertained to BOwser. Recently
there has been considerable agitation
to require the dog owners to pay the
city license fee. Announcement was
made that the police would soon be-
gin to kill all unlicensed dogs. So
there was a rush to the city clerks Of
flee to get licenses.
Mother, o mother! I'm not going
to play with Bowser any MORE" the
little fellow told his mother, as he
ran into his home.
