The Bting of the scorpion is precisely like the fang of the rattlesnake, and performs its deadly work on the same mechanical principles.

The great majority of journeymen tailors, it should be noted, are allowed a certain number of hours for the making up of a garment, and are paid in good shops at the rate of seven pence an hour.

This is the key to the system upon which ithe log is arranged. According to the time stipulated for the making up of each garment, so is the workmen to be paid. The work under consideration is generally alluded to as "the log," but, as a matter of fact it consists of several logs. There is, among others, a coat log, a trousers log, a vest log, a machine log and also a log for ladies' riding habits and other tailor-made clothing, which is now being revised. But it would be ungenerous to expose the secrets that underlie the manufacture of these more exquisite garments, even if the process of revision did not check us.

lloston Courier. AMONG THE DALMATIANS, A. Mountain Land Where the Male In "the Lord of Creation." Dalmatla is a Btrlp of country on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, comprising also soveral hundred islands off the coast lino. The country does not exceed four thousand square miles in extent and has had perhaps five hundred thousand population. It is one of the byways of Europe, little known, but well worth the trouble of visiting to him who is willing to dispense with the luxury of a good hotel and to brave the dangers which' must he Incurred by visiting a half-savage people.

Even under the Austrian dominion, as it has been since the first years of the present century, the Dalmatians have not learned the arts of peace and it is perilous in certain districts to venture outside the walls of the princi- pal towns. Notwithstanding the fact that an Austrian garrison is stationed in almost every village, brigands are common, and their favorite bit of enterprise is to capture the traveler and hold him for ransom; nor are they scrupulous for his life, for unless the ransom be paid, and that with reasona ble promptitude, ho will suffer for the remissness of his friends. Not until very recent years has much attention been paid them by the Austrian government. They were formerly regarded as a turbulent, troublesome, riotous set, who needed an occasional severe example to keep them in order. Less than thirty years have elapsed since an Austrian oillcial gravely advised, in the case of a village riot, that tho entire population bo decimated.

They are considered lazy and Pittsburg-Mexican MINING COMPANY. sufficiently troublesome to make the community conspire against him. In Ireland they singe the hair off a rat which has been caught, but is otherwise unharmed. In Germany they let one loose with a small bell attached to his neck. The tinkling of this as the belled rat chases his friends produces a panic among them and causes them to flee the premises.

Many stories told of the crafty fox are doubtless incidents of the imagination. But a recent writer tells an anecdote which, though taxing belief, he says is vouched for by an eye-witness of the affair. Some fishermen on the west coast of Ireland were in the habit of going to a small island a few hundred yards from the mainland in miPKt, nf bn.it,. Th island wn.s inlinhitftil Now oraganized under the laws of Kansas, with a capital stock of $300,000 rivided into 300,000 shares of each, fully paid up and non-assessable, with 25,000 shares setaside for charitable and enterprising purposes, and 75,000 shares reserved for treasury stock, of which 25,000 shares are now offered the public, funds to be spent in operatingand placing of machinery on a valuable, developed Gold Mine, now be ing purchased by this company, estimated to be worth up by large number of rabbits, and could be reached at low tide by wading, the there being only a few inches deep. One morning they went in their boat quite early, it being high tide, and on lauding saw a dead fox lying on the beach.

The fur of the animal was all bedraggled and he seemed to have been drowned. One of the men, remarking that his skin was worth something, pitched him into the boat Procuring their bait they returned to the mainland, and the man who had possessed himself of the fox wards of $1,000,000.00.

This company has deviated from the accustomed rule of hard; when their boats are their own property, they are industrious fisher men. capitalizing a mine at a ficticious value, by doing so on basis ot cost wheh is only 1-4 of its real value, thereby offering to the investor an opportunity on the same basis as Of recent years the Austrian govern ment has ascertained their value, and they are now being employed in large numbers in the Austrian navy; as sail show a want of chivalry. Nobody will be angry with us, perhaps, if we dive into the mysterious of the "frock-coat log," except the'gentle-man who occasionally advertises in the matrimonial papers his possession of "nice square shoulders." Such shoulders are often made to order. When made of haircloth or extra canvas the journeyman charges one hour for them that is, if they do not exceed nine inches and one hour more if they exceed that measurement or part of it For "padding or wadding basted on canvas in shoulder" the log specifies half an hour extra, with one hour for "wadding flash basted through sides," and two hours for built with from two to three piles of wadding canvas or cloth." An ordinary coat that does not conceal ine-jualitics of the figure can be made up in thirty-five and a half hours.

Yet anyone putting on a coat of this simple manufacture would be surprised to hear the mysterious processes that are involved in the manufacture of it. Here are some of them, with the time to each, all duly set down in the coat log: "Putting in the thread marks and fitting up, one hour; seaming side body, one-half hour; waists, three-fourths of an hour; lapels, three-fourths of an hour; seaming side seams, three-fourths of an hour; making up plaits, including hip stay, one hour; first press, three-fourths of an hour; plait pockets, one hour; basting in canvas and button stay, one hour." But there are many other things to be done with a stylishly-made garment of this kind to suit the fastidious, and the log provides for seven distinct "cuts and puffs," for twelve special kinds of edges, ten sorts of seams, five different pockets, eight original owners, who have taken all the chances, spending their own money, proving value of mine before offering stock to the public. By this plan the company hopes to scatter the first 25,000 shares among 2000 to 5000 stock holders who will become co-operators in building the stock up to a value of $5. per share. We believe that it is a far better plan to have an honest mining stock atapremium, than a dishonest one at a discount.

As soon as the animal struck the beach he picked himself up with considerable agility for a dead fox and shot off like a flash up among the cliffs, while the men stood staring at each other in mute astonishment.

The men concluded that he had crossed over to the island during the night, when the tide was low, in search of rabbits, and, finding in the morning that he was cut off from the mainland, counterfeited death with the expectation of thereby procuring a passage to the shore in a boat, an expectation which was fully realized. They were too astonished to give pursuit, and the fox escaped. Rev. J. Murray, in his work on the relates that on one occasion an acquaintance oft his was shooting wild ducks.

On reaching a bend of the stream he saw six wild geese out of range. He crouched down, in the hope that they would presently come nearer. While thus concealed he observed a fox Btealing down to the bank, on reaching which he remained motionless, with one eye fixed on the geese. At length he retired, but presently reappeared, carrying in his mouth a very large bundle of moss. He entered the water silently, sunk himself, and then, keeping the moss above the water and himself concealed, he floated among the geese.

Suddenly one of them was drawn under the water, and the fox soon appeared on the bank with the goose on his back. Close to the water's edge he found a hole caused by the uprooting of a tree. This hole he cleared out and enlarged, placed the goose at the bottom of it and covered his prize with leaves and dry litter, of which there was abundance close at hand. The fox then took his departure, and the interested watcher went to the hole and removed the goose, taking care to restore things to their former appearance. Then he resolved to observe what followed.

In about half an hour the fox returned in company with another. They went straight to the place where the goose had been buried and removed the earth. No goose there. They stood looking at each other for some ors they are more reliable than as soldiers, but when drafted into the army they are usually not kept at home, but Bent into one of the northern provinces. It should not be forgotten that over fifty languages are spoken in Austria, and it is the policy of the Austrian government to send regiments into districts where they know nothing of the people or their language.

The Czech regiment is sent into a German province; the Dalmatian regiment into the Tyrol; the recruits from the Tyrol are quartered in Dalmatia or Bosnia. Notwithstanding their past, there is hope for the future Dalmatians. So noble a race of men must in time bo-come useful. It must be confessed that the vices among them are at present numerous. The men sleep all day while the women do the work, a sight repulsive to the natives of a civilized country.

But with education, foreign intercourse, and, above all, that peace which never can come while the Turkish frontier is so close at hand, Dalmatia will enter upon a future of prosperity. It is in the long journeys over the mountains that the men's laziness is shown the most strongly. There the women carry all the burdens, while the men swell around as if each were a king, instead of a subject mountaineer. The boats they use in their infrequent water voyages are very rude and primitive. They tip up at both ends worse than an Indian dug-out, and the oars are the most cumbersome things imaginable.

They develop but little speed, and frequently on the mountain lakes the wind rushes down a gorge, the tipsy boat is upset and for some days the women go around mourning their lost ones, N. Y. Journal. C. C.

LOCATION. Old Mexico, 45 miles from railroad, with branch line surveyed and under promise of completion by July 1 '5)2. An attractive camp, abundance of timber, water sullicient for mill capacity 100 tons per day.

VEIN. A bold, 90 foot, well defined vein in porphrey and granite, mineralized from wall to wall. A rotton red and yellow iron ore with streaks and pockets of hard, black iron ore, all carrying gold in paying quantities. DEVELOPMENT. Over one half mile of development work on vein, consisting of shaft 175 feet, with tunnels, levels, cross cuts, stops providing an immense body of ore.

With present development, 200 tons per day can be mined if desired. ORE. From grass roots to bottom of shaft, and from wall to wall ore assays from $2.00 to $105.00 per ton averaging by mill tests, saved on the plates, from $3.00 to $7.00 per ton, not taking into consideration the high grade ore now coming in at the bottom of shaft. COST. Ore can be mined and milled by a small plant, say 25 tons per day, for $1.25 to $1.50 per ton, and on a large scale of, say 300 to 500 tons per day, at 75 cents to ton.

VALUE. This has been estimated to be worth, by different parties who claimed to know tho value of such a mino at from $500,000.00 to $1,000,000.00. If ore increases in value for 100 feet additional depth, as it has for the last 50 feet, and the vein holds its present width, it would be the greatest gold mine on this continent.

Says an Asbury Park grocery clerk: "If a woman comes in with a basket and a tin bucket and asks for a print of butter, she's from Philadelphia. What's more, these Philadelphia people are the best judges of butter. No cheap or showy stock for them. They taste it always and can tell more about its manufacture than I can.

An idea that many Quaker City people have is in lugging a basketful of groceries and a 'butter kittle' home with them, when we have wagons to deliver it for them. They appear to be brought up that way. New Yorkers ain't particular about butter. They ask the price, tell me to put up a dollar's worth and that ends it. One of their give-aways is on eggs and sugar.

Always know them when they want a quarter's worth of eggs or three-and-a-half of Bugar. That's the way they buy at home so much for two shillin'.

The hot metal burns the core so that it can be shaken out, leaving the time, and then suddenly the second fox attacked the other most furiously, as if enraged by having a trick played upon him. In the island of Ceylon the people are very fond of elephant hunting. They begin by clearing an open space near a forest, part of which is strongly fenced in with trunks of trees, with open places for doors.

This is called a corral. When bo much of the work is done the natives get behind and around the elephants with blazing torches, shaking spears and rattling all kinds of noisy instruments in order to frighten the buge animals, while all the time driving them toward the open doors of the corral. At last with a rush the great herd enter, the entrances are barred and the poor giants of the woods find themselves hopelessly imprisoned. An elephant's rage is dreadful to witness, but the ingenuity of man has found a way of subduing it. One by one eaoh prisoner is freed again, and tame elephants, remarkable for their sagacity, come up to him, stroke him with their trunks, and otherwise cajole him until they lead him to a good, strong tree.
