It is a perfection of a most difficult science. This paper is a patron of the arts and ‘industries and sciences.

We know not, nor do we care, whether Mrs. Lockwood made the discovery after years of patient thought, or whether, as Roentgen with his X ray, it flashed upoa her acciden- tally while half-carelessly experi» menting. The grand fact is e8- tablished that, when, in midnight hours, on midwinter nights, by fireless grates, the old man paces up and down with the high tem- pered tvrant of the cradle, he may have surcease from sorrow. It only remains: for him to “place the child in the cradle with gen- tle firmness, and leave it.” Then he may draw the drapery of his couch about him, and lie down to pleasant dreams, while the kid, daring not to misunderstand the emphatic way it was laid down, will lie still and self-control itself until it silently cries itself to sleep or its mother wakes up.-—-Char- lotte Observer.

The discipline will be Kept at its present standard, = ° Neither time nor attention nor work will be spared to make this schoo, al! that parents could wish. For further particulars see or ad- dress ore. In other words, there are 10,000 odd claims in the district that so far as developed are practically worth nothing at all. To put the matter in another way, upwards of 900 companies have been organized thus far to operate in the dis- trict, and dozens more xre being put in the field each week. Of these 900 or more companies about six per cent., of 50 or 60 in all, own producing mines. And of the latter but 12 of 15 are divi- | dend-payers. . Of course, in the clever and seductive circulars which the countless mining brokers scatter broadcast, you will read ) of this or that company which will be a dividend-payer the very next week, or the very next month, or something like that, and whose stock may be bought now for a song, and later be worth par. And they point to numer- ous instances—to such splendid mines as the Portland, for example. Just a _year ago stock in the Portland was sell- ing at 40 cents, and now it is some- where around 200, and paying a divi- dend of 12 per cent. on its value. There are a number of such instances as this, so that it is slight wonder that people should lose their senses and invest in all sorts of worthless and “wild-cat” schemes that are thrown on the market. But if. you will reeall to mind that the gold kings of California did not make their money mining in the hills, but by manipulation on the stock exchanges, you may perhaps conclude to keep your money in a safe place. I do not mean that all of the stocks of- fered on the exchanges of Colorado are worthless, but I do mean to say that most of the companies that are-being floated or offered in the east are the sort that have no standing, or will bring in Colorado nothing like the price asked for them east. It is @ fact that more money is always spent on the claims next adjoining a bonanza mine than -is ever taken out of the mine it- self. ; W.H.
