300 men to work the mines and smelting
works when they get into proper shape
for steady work. This 20 tons per diy
means a large sum of money to be paid

It is reported that a more than usual
number of snakes of the rattle-attacm-

Is that there are po more rattlesnakes

are throwing themselves in sight iwlth
greater frequency and activity on ac
count of tfle warm,' dry weather. This
theory is probably as good as any, since
It Is a well known fact that a rattle

DANGER OF ORIENTAL COMPJ3T
HON.
Chicago Times-Herald.
The Times-Herald has commented at
length upon too danger that may be ap
prehended by American manufacturers
from competition in-the Orient In the
event of tho free admissun of Its manu
factured products to our ports. The phe
nomenal progress made by China ana
Japan In the manufacture of silk and cot
ton -fabrics has been but recently com
mented upon and the grave concern of
American and English manufacturers Is
not allnyed In the least by. the recent
revelations of American travelers who
have 'availed themselves of the oppor
tunity to personally .Investigate these
fa-ctories in tha Orient.
Mr. William E. Curtis, a reliable and
painstaking correspondent of the Record,
ow in Japan adds confirmatory testi
mony to the statements already adduced,
and brings out come additional facts that
are Invested with -more than ordinary
significance. He shows that Japan not
only has the advantage ot both English'
and American manufacturers in the mat
ter of wages and cheap raw material,
but as she is doing business on a silver
basis the wages she pays for "operatives
are even much smaller than would at
first appear. The Japanese w"l pay 1J
and 20 cents a day for maie labor and
8 to 10 cents a day for woman. From an
American standpoint, however,, the Jap
anese pay in silver, America and England
4 and 6 cents for women, while from a
Japanese standpoint the Americans pay
f3 and $1 tfor men and about Si. DO and
$2 for women, which is double tho wages
paid from an American standpoint. The
fabrics they produce sell for the same
price tho world over, but while the Jap
anese pay in Silver England and America
pay in currency that is on a gold basis.
Therefore, while the outlay of one rus
doubled that of the other has been di
minished one-half. The Japanese manu
facturer has suffered no Increase Iu fixed
charges' or in the cost of labor, nn-1 gets
double prices for his products. An Idea
of the increase of the cotton mill Industry
of Japan may be gained from tha fact
that In 1883 there were 16 mills with
43,700 spindles, while in 1894 there were
46 mills with 600,419 spindles, it is
thought there will foe 711.000 spinlles In
operation by January 1, 1896.
It Is thus very apparent that the Ameri
can wage earner without a protective
tariff would have to compete not only
with cheap labor but With a cheap and
debased currency.
COUNTRY GIRLS' BORIAlP BOOKS.
There la more to 'be had from the sys
tem of clipping pictures than Is general
ly supposed. An ambltloU3 girl Who lived
in a remote rural district, where books
and pictures and! means of education
were very scarce, trained! herself to an
excellent knowledge of many things by
this means. She formed quite a library
by 'filling blank books with pictures of
every historical and eminent person
whose portrait she could .procure.. The
picture waj pasted at the top of the page,
and she never rented until she was able
to write the hitsory of that person upon
the rest of the paje. Copies of famous
pictures were treated in the same way,
and the date of its painting, the name of
the artist, and a -little sketch of the
subject of the picture treated was written
beneath by her own pen. Companions to
her art book, as she called it, were her
sculpture book; her botany book; full1 of
flowers; her. book of blrdj and insects,
and her book of costumes- of different
periods, as well as a similar volume on
architecture and furniture. By the time
these booka were finished! by this woman,
who was apparently absolutely cut oft
from all sources of refinement and culti
vation, had acquired' a knowledge and de
veloped! an amount of taste and discrim
ination that might well have Ibeen envied
by any one. A chance encounter with
Ruskin's "Modern Painters" set her off
again on a new road by their revelation
of the laws of order and beauty that un
derlie all growth of plants, movement of
water, and form of clouds. At once the
lonely scene about her became full of In
terest. Never a drifting cumulus of curd
ed cirrus shadowed the sun but it set
her busy mind at work upon the laiwatof
Ifs being. Never a green bough- bent over
her head or a brook flowed across her
path that she did not stop to trace Its
history and origin written plainly in Its
form and course. (Ladles' Home Journal
WHILE IN PARIS "DO" EUROPE.
An artful and ingenious Frenchman In
Paris, with a well developed and subtle
knowledge of the frailties and vanities ot
tho traveling public, has hit upon a plan
that will place many American dollars In
his pocket and at the same time permit
-those who go abroad this summer to prac
tice Innocent Impositions upon their cred
ulous friends and neighbors on their re
turn. His method Is a simple one, and yet,
when adopted In connection with a care
ful reading of Baedeker or some other
guide book. Is one that 1s almost certain
to mislead the "folks at hone," and give
one an appearance of having travelled
much, although he may not have gone
to any other place on the continent than
Paris.
This thoughtful, provident Frenchman
has laid in an excellent stock of those
Innocent and therefore truthful teli-tale
pasters that all travelers cherish and
delight in having stuck upon their ti unks
and boxes In places far from home. They
are exact reproductions of the palters or
labels most In use at railway stations
and h'ostelries in the various countries
abroad, and these, for a mild onslde-a-tlon
he will apply to any article of bag
gage.that a traveler may have. Th-3 tour
ist selects the Labels and he does the
rest.
With enough of these jtuck about in
discriminately to be used In evidence and
a slight knowledge of the olac;s thereby
Indicated, gleaned from a guidebook, de
ception is made easy and a reputation
for having "done" Europe can be cheaply
gained.
This industry Is a new one and bl.la
fair to meet with great success, as tales
of foreign travels like those .if fishing
adventures are eldom confined to the
niceties of truth, and It Is not simldered
any more Improper to stretch a point
in telling about one than it Is in telling
about the other.
The scheme was fir.it made known on
this side on the arrival of the V'hlte
Star steamship Teutonic the other .lay.
A vivacious young woman who h il been
abroad with some friends was met kl
the steamer by her brother, who looked
after her baggage.
After the customs officials had tumble 1
the things In her trunk about as the law
tequlres her brother noticed the many
pasters upon It. -
He expressed surprise that he had been
Jn so many places during her rhort ab
sence, and remarked that she had mil
nothing of many of them In her letter.
She laughed heartily at this remark and
told him that they Dai nearly all beei
put on in Paris. "It only cost me 4 franc 1 1
and lots of others had done It, too." she
said. S.ie then stated that she could have
had plenty more had she deslr td, as the
man had all that any one could with.
The Frenchman hi -ind wM?dly fillet
"a long-felt want," and hereafter doing
Europe on a dollar a day will be con
sidered an unnecessary extravagance.
Truly Paris 1s the center of the uni
verse. New York Times.
THE ASTORS' HOLDINGS.
Largest Owners of Real Estate in New
York City.
There is no doubt that William Wal
dorf Astor and John Jacab Aator are the
largest individual owners of real' estate in
Now York city. Like John-Jacob Astor,
the elder, they have always regarded real
estate the safest investment. Oid- John
Jacob Astor first became a real estate
owner In 1789, when he bought for $25 a
lot of land on the Bowery near Elizabeth
street. Twenty-one years later he was
the largest holder of real estate In Now
York, and his descendants have ever
since kept the lead-In thU respect. In
1K15 he sold the Astor house for $1.
William B. Astor had expressed, a desire
to own It, whereupon John Jacob told
him that he would sell it to him for the
amount named. The bargain was con
cluded on the spot. The greatest care
has always been taken to keep the exact
value of the Astoc estate from the public.
When John Jacob A3tor, the first, died he
was said to be worth $20,000,000. At
William Astor's death It was reported
that he -was worth $50,000,000, but this
estimate has been declared to be too loty.
The -Astor family have been acquiring
real estate In New York since 1811, no
matter who has been nt its head. Rents
which accrued were reinvested with' a
particular view to the location of the
property. John Jacob and William Wal
dorf Astor have continued to make real
estate investments with land bought In
Harlm and the annexed district within
a few years. One real estate authority
in speaking about the Astor land holdings
said that south of Eighty-sixth street it
Included' twenty-five acres of land solidly
built up. Yet this large amount of prop
erty does not amount to more than half
of the Astor estate, which owns lands
and buildings around Jerome park and
alongside Riverside drive and the Boule
vard. It is the business custom of the
Astors to give leaseholds for 21 years,
on which the lessees build, the lease be
ing sirbjecl to renewal at the end of 21
years on a reappralsement. The ground
rent for these properties goes to the es
tate, but on the assessment books the
property does not appear In the name ot
the Astors.
. THE BOND SYNDICATE.
A. B. 'Hepburn, president of the Third
National Bank of New York, contributes
to the Forumi an article on "The Bond
Syndicate and' Its Excellent Work." He
says that at first the national treasury
was not so much In need ot gold as it
was In need of funds, and If the secretary
of the treasury had' possessed power to
issue exchequer notes or to negotiate a
popular loan he could easily have met
the deficit In the revenues and main
tained his gold. Being denied the power
to borrow money to meet current ex
penses, the secretary resorted to the act
of 1875 and borrowed to strengthen his
gold reserve. The borrowing was done
ostensibly to strengthen the reserve but
really to provide funds for current ex
penses. Thus the government was forced
to attack its own credit, to fix the atten
tion its own citizens and of the world
upon Its vanishing gold, emphasizing and
thus aggravating the danger of. going
upon a silver basis. The only relief con
gress offered was a bill to coin the
seigniorage bullion, which would have
-been Inflation, pure and simple.
The president vetoed this bllO and ex
erted all the power of his great office to
prevent the debasement of our currency
and maintain our commercial honor. In
the fact of the recalcitrant attitude ot
congress was all the more alarming and
Induced foreign holders of American se
curities to liquidate' the same lest In
future they be compelled' to receive pay
ment on a sliver basis. Carlisle's re
quest to congress last December, supple
mented by a special message to congress
by the president, failed to obtain author
ity to borrow money in a way most ad
vantageous to the government. The re
fusal of congress ,to co-operate "was the
result of the deliberate purpose on the
ptit of the silver Interests. to afford no
relief to the government's necessities ex
cept through the use of silver, the logi
cal result of which, would be to force
the country upon a silver basis." It
looked a if the free silver extremists
would succeed. The export ot 25 millions
of gold In January and the withdrawal
from the treasury of nearly 20 millions
more than was exported allowed that it
was withdrawn In anticipation of a profit
from the expected premium. The gold
in the treasury went down to Jess than
43 millions, against over 415 millions ot
greenbacks and treasury notes which.
were redeemable In gold. -
The president and his secretary were
equal to the emergency, and those who
have criticisms to offer - because of the
high rate of Interest the government ts
compelled to pay should bestow them
upon the dominant Influence on congress,
which refused to save In the taxpayers
this extra Interest. The banking house
of J. 8. Morgan & Co. and the Roths
chllds became the sponsors for American
credit, not by word of mouth, but by the
investment of 32 millions of their money
In United States bonds, "payable in coin,"
thus proclaiming their faith that tha
gold standard would be maintained. For-
eign criticism vanished in the light of
tangible action like this. Liquidation
ceased and Investment began. Withdraw,
als from the treasury ceased and eev
era! Harge sums already withdrawn were
returned as soon as the terms of the
contract were made known.
Mr. (Hepburn then tells how stock ex
change prices and the quotations for
wheat and cotton were strengthened by
this action and says ws cannot expect
the business interests of the country to
reallze the obligations they owe to the
boml syndicate for protecting them from
a panic and commercial crash upon the
brink of which they were trembling. He
adds that the sliver Interests have dom
inated currency legislation for many
years; that silver hardly Is "demonet
ized" when we have 648 millions of It
In circulation; that the great decline In
the price of silver is due to cheapened
production, etc.; that "silver has ceased
to serve the convenience of men"; that
the free coinage of sl.ver dollars con
taining only 371Vi grains of silver each
would mean silver monometallism, the
driving out of our gold, and resulting In
money stringency, currency famine, and
commercial crisis. "For protection
against such a calamity we are Indebted
to the bond Issue," and "iwe must com
mend the wisdom and statesmanship
of the president In rescuing the country
from such serious danger.
ADJUSTABLE CALIPERS.
Improved Form of Tool With Movable
Regulating Oar.
A Western engineer sends to the Ameri
can Machinist illustrations of a new ad
justable calipers deviBed by him. The
calipers are of the familiar form, the
heavy central rivet being countersunk at
both ends, and by means of notches In
the back countersink, being held from
turning In one of the legs, the other being
movalble for setting. Upon this central
rivet and outside the movable leg Is
an "adjustable bar" movable about the
rivet and clamped In any position by
tightening the large thumb nut covering
the upper end of it, which is split. Upon
the movable leg of the caliper there. Is
plvott'J a stud. In which la shouldered
a milled headed adjusting screw the
threaded end of which works in-a pivoted
"ud upon the adjusting bar. The adjust--
bir being movable, as described, a
1 -rt screw Is suflicient for any adjus:
mo t within the range of the calipers
either inM-1? or outside.

THE EDITOR MEANT WELL.
A Western Alabama, editor was writ
ing up a local theatrical entertainment
recently and he wanted to be particularly
nice about It, so he mentioned the names
cf several young ladles of the town and
wrote, ''they all filled their parts to per
fection." Then he went home. When the
paper appeared It was found! that the
printer had put an "n" In the place ot
an "r" in the word "parts."-iAtlanta

INDIAN WAY O PCATOHTNG SALMON
The Indian manner at catching salmon
on the upper reaches ot the rivers Fraser
and Thompson Is Interesting.
A pole Is notched on the end and then
slit sufficiently to allow of a sharpened
tcggle telng tightly fitted In the cut, a
string being run through a hole before
placing It through the groove.
When the salmon, passing thickly, close
to the bank, on their way to the spawn
ing grounds, are running up the creek,
these Improved means of capture are
Jabbed Into them, the togg'.os remaining
In their bodies, when the strings are used
to whip- thorn- out, landing the fish on
the bank, where the Klootchmen tthe
Chinook Indian term for women), deftly
split them open along the back and ex
tract the bones. Ex.
k LAUGHABLE MISTAKE.
Two ladles entered a book store recent
ly and the younger asked the clerk for
a book called "Favorite Prescription."
The puzzled attendant was unable to
comply with her request and she left the
store disappointed. Inquiry elicited the
fact that she had overheard a conversa
tion between two literary ladles In which
"Favorite Prescription," was mentioned
with extravagant praise, and had Jumped
to the conclusion that .It was a book.
She now knows that Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription Is a sovereign cure for
the Ills and "weaknesses" peculiar to
women, for she has been cured by Its
use. Send for a free panphlet, or remit
10 cents in stamps for Book, (168 pages) on
"Woman and Her Diseases." Address
