Public attention ba» often been
drawn tu the alarming rate at which
the coal auppllea of the world and ea
peciaTly of Great Britain arc being «x
initiated. It I» not so generally realised
that Iron ore deposits are disappearing
at an equally If not even more rapid
rate. The leading manufacturing na
tlon» <>f Europe bave used up their
beat ore biallea and are casting i4»>ut
for foreign sources of supply. This
state of tilings exists also In the Unit
ed States. Not long ago Pennsylvania
■ lid the eastern portion of the state of
New York furnished a great part of
the ore used In the states. These de
posits are practically worked out. For
a number of years the Immense beds
on the southern shores of I.ake Supe
rlor have been worked, the output be
ing remarkably rich In the percentage
of metal, yet such Is the rate of ex
haustion that, according to recent com
putations, this vast store, so far as the
better qualities of ore are concerned,
will not last more than forty or fifty
years. It has been reckoned that there
are 1,000,000,000 tons of high quality.
Over 25,000,000 tons are taken out an
nually, so that after forty years what
Is left will be at depths which will
greatly Increase the coat of production.
In the northern states of the Union
manufacturers already foresee the time
when they may have to rely on the
Iron ores of the Dominion of Canada.—

examine the beautiful creations in

had this to say in regard to the new

frequently happens that some histori

also by men. But no particular style
lias been followed for this autumn and
winter season, the tendency having
been to take a little of the best from
various periods. Thus the fashions of
the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV and
Louis XVI will reappear in some new

Quay'« SlnnlHcnnt Visit.
The late Senator Quay was a secre

coinings and goings seemed mysterious
to the newspaper men and others who
were compelled to keep tali on his
movements, says the New York Trib
une. He frequently Journeyed from

friends lieing the wiser for it.
One morning he arrived at the Quak
er City early, and a reporter who
knew him intimately said, "Senator, is
there any signifleauce attadied to your
visit here today?"
“Yes," said tlie senator, lowering his
voice and looking shrewd; "there are
deep significance and Importance."
Tlie reporter'» Interest was aroused

"Certainly.” replied the senator. "1

E. It. Thomas, the millionaire owner
of race horses, was talking at Saratoga
about game losers.

He bet, of course, on the wrong horse.
L'Aigle Noir, as th« animal he picked

"But the St. Joseph mnn, with ruin
staring him in the face, watched the

laughter. From the beginning his horse
was last, nnd from the beginning lie
shouted:
