A Boston letter in the Copper Curb says: / The copper < metal market has shown" great improvement during the week, prices of all grades having advanced and the volume of business having, increased rapidly. At the moment transactions are somewhat smaller than they were earlier in the week, but this is because the big agencies are not anxious to sell at prevailing prices and consumers are hesitating about- paying the advanced prices. It is estimated that there were not less than 20,000,000 pounds sold for April and May delivery during the first two days, more than half of which went to domestic consumers. The foreign buying was on a very good scale,-a good part of it- going to London, where the demand for it is better than it has been for many months. ��������� The most important fact brought out during the sveek was that several of the large producers are sold up to June and they are not. offering metal very freely even for delivery in that- or later months. They will not'sell copper under any consideration under 13 cents and bids are very close to this figure nosv. Sales of electrolytic havo been made on a fairly large scale at 12J, while Like was sold over 13 and the demand is much better nosv than it has been for some time for this brand. As the fpeeifieations in the hands of the leading copper and brass rolling mills and electrical engineering concerns call for the consumption of 45.000,000 pounds of all grades for!goods to be finished before the first "of Jul}', it is highly probable that the consumers will be forced to advance their bids and a much lighter level of prices svill be the result in the near futuic. ��������� Taken as a whole then the outlook is much brighter nosv than it has been for a Jong time and a big improvement .is expected, and those svho shape*.their course accordingly svill be the winners during the next six months.

Ola Lofsrad and associates will start their big tunnel into the south belt as soon as they cau make arrangements svith the Garlands for a dumping ground. They have been negotiating for tsvo acres of land, for which the Garlands ask 8300 an acre. This price the syndicate consider excessive, and work .on the tunnel is therefore delayed. The tunnel should add materially to the value of the Garland holdings in the south end of the town and in Anaconda. Tho miues at Middlesboro aro shipping more ceal than ever at the present time.

Arizona's copper production for February of this year is estimated (o have been 26,500,000 pounds, which.is at the rate of 31S,000,000 pounds a year. The fact, assuming it to be such, is an interesting one. as it makes Arizona an easy first on the list of copper-producing regions���������not alone of the continent, but of the world. The chief contributors to the February output were : Copper Queen, with 9,150.000 pounds; Calumet aud Arizona, 4,000,000, and the United Verde, witliover 3,000,000 pounds. The remainder came from copper mines over the Territory. In 1907 the profits from precious metals exceeded all dividends paid by all banks in the United States.

" Pm-iiltMit LotiiH Hill of the Greiifc Northern railway recently svjote me nskiiig what amount of coal we could supply daily/to th' V., V. & E. . rail svay svhen ii roaches Princeton.' I replied tint we could ensure sufficient to meet every requirement," says Ernest Waterman of Princeton, ..ihauager of tlm'Vermillion Forks Mining an I Developineutcompany. This company osvns tsvo square miles of coal lands' adjacent to Princeton. Six seams of semi- bituminous coal described by the Dominion geological survey as excellent for domestic and steaming purposes, have been proved by ineftnaof diamond drilling operations, The company has iilroudy feet of under- 24-foofc seam, or slope has been driven in for a distance of ISO feet, and air shafts connecting svith the surface have been opened up. The main slope runs in on this big ������cam, thirteen feet of which is uu- derneath the lloor of tho working.. The various seams have a total thickness of fifty feet. Mr. Mc- Es'oy, late of the geological survey, and nosv operating the Brauzeau "coalfields in Alberta, estimated that the one measure nosv partially developed by the company, could maintain a daily output of 400 tons for 260 years. This coal is nosv being used at Princeton and at other points throughout the Similkatneen district for domestic purposes. It sells at th mines at $3 a ton. Further development work svill bo delayed until the V., V. & E. tracks nosv at Keremeos, reach Princeton, probably late next fall. Arrangements have been made for laying the rails shortly on the graded portion of the route betsveen Keremeos and Hedley. Mr. Waterman is (on fid en t that he will be able to furnish coil for all the tosvus easterly as far as | Spokane as soon as the rail svay is extended to Princeton. He also foresees possibilities for competing in Vancouver once tho same road has bi'en extended over the Hope in mutains. Coal from the Princeton property has been successfully used at the reduction plant of the D.dy Mining company, southeast of Princeton. President Hill on a former visit to Keremeos made a flying trip in his- automobile to Princeton in order co .examine the coal areas. The coal is said to run over 50 per sumption. On tho whole, then, the market is no worse oil than it svas at the first of the year, though a posverful element lias apparently gained control and pub prices losver than is warranted by conditions in general."

C.McClure.] kELLOW Citizens of Blackberry Corners���������After a svulk of fifteen miles along the railroad tracks I arrives] here this afternoon and lot It be knosvn that 1 ss-oukl deliver my lecture' in this school- house this evening. There is present by actual count n large, intelligent and impulsive audience of seven persons, and I thank you for turning out en masse as you havo. It sliosvs the popularity of tho rostrum over tho husking bee. .. . , "The subject of my lecture is 'Niches ���������Find Your Niche and Kit into It.' This lecture has been delivered over "THE SV33JEOT OP MyiiECTUBE IS 'MCEXS. 1,000 times to vast audiences, and President Roosevelt said of it only two weeks ago, 'If 1 bad nothing else to do I should like tosit and hear it over and over again for a hundred consecutive nights.' '���������Ever since I svas old enough to oal pudding and milk I have contended that every human being born on this earth was born to fill a certain niche and-that thero aro always plenty of niches lying around loose. The longer 1 live the stronger grows my opinion that this is so. The only trouble is to find your particular niche and find your mark on it. "If I should ask this cultivated and expansive audience who Shakespeare ss-as it svould feel insulted. All the world knows of him. He svas the first man in the world tosli'ng the English language into such shape that a fellow could go to the grocery and make tlie grocer understand that he wanted two pounds of sugar instead of a bar of soap. Shakespeare was a long time iu finding his niche. He tried farming and poultry and gardening before he struck his gait, but svhen he finally did ho had the sense to stick to it and make a success. Literature ss-as his niche, and he filled it up to the neck. He also filled us up to the neck svith proper English. Until his time the husband who got up in the morning nnd found his collar button gone couldn't holler for his wife and do justice to the occasion. He had to staud and jump up and down and express himself in a conglomeration of languages, the only word of which the listening neighbors could catch on to was 'dammit.' "Napoleon svas also a long time in finding his niche. He sloshed around and tried his hand at half a dozeu things and then struck the right one and begau to make the splinters fly. If the.old man could have had his svay he would have made the boy a cob- . bier. Cai you imagine tlie great Bonaparte'pegging away at shoes or putting on cement patches? He came aloug.to his niche one day, found that it fitted him, and he went to work licking the whole world. His svas a fighting niche. -As a farmer he couldn't have raised enough buckwheat to get up a case of the scratches. As a poet lie couldn't have earned his salt. As a politician there are 10,000 men in this country today who could have sidetracked him as easy as grease Something told him this, and he stuck to bis niche. Concerning Diogenes. "I shall not ask you who Diogenes was. You never met him, but you ' have read all about him over aud over. ���������Never was there a denser child, never a bigger lunkhead of n youth, never a greater doughhead of a young man. ;It was said of him that ho didn't know enough to pound sand. Up lo twenty- five lie huug around betsveen his father's house and tho Idiot asylum, and he was an object of p.";- to all. He married a woman that trii'il tn wiio������������i- some sense Into his noddle svith the broomstick, hii*. It svas a failure, nnd she returned to her father. I'm n-tell- ing you that Diogenes didn't amount to molasses svhen his niche finally came.glldlng by and lie fell Into It. lie s.tnrted out at being a philosopher The world had never had tiny philosophy up .to that time, and It took to It like a coon to n cornfield. "Diogenes, without straining Ills bad; at nil. went around one day svith n lighted lantern. When asked svhy he did It lie had n chance to reply thnt he was looking for an honest m,m. Thnt tickled the public, and deadhead' tickets to the circus came , pouring in. Then lie came to passing most of his time In a tub and to get- ��������� ting off such philosophy as Tay to- 'day and trust tomorrosv1 and' 'Birds ' of a "feather flock together.' It was Diogenes that consoled a man with a boll on his leg by saying that he might have had a carbunclo on his licck.- "ITe . turued (the world upside dosvn' !n- lite/wpy''find died .n grand success. ������������������'���������'��������� "Let as come down nearer to our own times. What did George Washington amount to at the ago of twenty-one or even three or four years later? He could do a little land hot- reylng, but nothing to brag of. Thu old man let him run the farm, and he ran things Into tho ground. Ho tried to leach school and made a failure of It. He never traded horses but what he got stuck. Even after lie married Iho Widow Cnstls he wasn't considered any great shakes. It was a question whether he'd ever be worth as much as'the average hired man svhen his niche carne sailing along. It was marked, 'To llio Father of IIis Country ���������handle gently.' George slipped Into It nnd nailed himself in, and history tells you what followed. Ho kicked up a rumpus I hat lasted seven or eight years, and ho made a mighty king glad to go out of tbe American business. Had he skipped his niche and gone to keeping books for some merchant he'd never have been board of outside of his village homo. "Go buck to Columbus for a - moment. Al the age of forty he had tried tailoring, coopering, the snsv- 'inlll business and half n dozen other things and had made dismal failures at nil and svas teetotally busted for cash. I don't depend altogether on history for my facts. I have been told on lhe outside that Mr. Columbus svas so hard up at the crisis of bis life that the question of raising fried eggs and bacon for breakfast svas a serious problem for him. Ho svas ready to go out cutting cord svood for 3o cents a cord svhen his niche came along. All nt'Oiicc he got the idea that there might be some more svorld to grab on to, and he began to talk. He svasn't a failure svith his mouth. lie kept at It until he got the king and queen of Spain interested, and they fitted him nut and gave him Horace Greeley's advice to go svest. He svent svest, and here sve are. A vast continent has been redeemed from the Indians nnd given over to the grafters. His Own Case. "Take my osvu case. My friends, nt fifteen I couldn't chew gum without swallowing the cud inside of two minutes. At tsvenly 1 planted dried applies to grow an orchard. 1 had the inner consciousness that soniosvhcre ss-as a niche for me, but I couldn't find it.

Whatever you can do best and svith the most satisfaction in your heart is your niche, svhether it be poetry or pumpkin pie. oratory, chopping wood, preaching tlie gospel or running a sideshosv.

Mr. Frank Scudamore, the famous svar correspondent, who has gone through twenty-nine battles, and svhose dispatches during the Boer War wore so eagerly read from coast to coast in Canada, says:���������"Owing to the poisonous dye from an undergarment penetrating a slight scratch, my legs broke out in ulcers.

When a champion rifle Bhot fires blindfolded at a wedding ring or a .penny held betsveen his wife's thumb arid finger or seated back to her shoots, by means of a mirror, at an apple upon her head or on a fork held in her teeth, the danger oi using a'bullet is obvious. None, of course, is needed. The explosion is enough. The apple is already prepared, having been cut into pieces, and stuck together svith an adhesive substance, and a thread svith a knot at the end, pulled through it from the "svings," so that it flies to bits svhen the gun is fired, is "hosv it, is done." Generally the more dangerous a feat appears tho more carefully is all danger guarded against. In the "William Tell" act the thread is often tied to the assistant's foot. When, again, the ash is shot off a cigar svhich the assistant is smoking a piece of wire is pushed by his tongue through a hollow passage in tho cigar, thus thrusting off the ash at the moment of firing. A favorite but simple trick is the shooting from some distance at nn orange hold in a lady's hand. Groat applause is invariably forthcoming svhen the bullet drops out on her cutting open- the fruit, it is inserted by hand earlier in the evening. Another popular trick is that of snuffing out lighted candles. Half a dozen are placed in front of a screen, in svhich as many small holes are bored, one against each candle wick.' At the moment of firing a confederate behind the screen sharply blosvs out each candle svith a pair of bellows. In most instances svhere a ball or other''object has to be broken on a living person's head blank cartridge is used and the effect produced by other means. A special svig with a spring conceal in it worked by a ss-ire under the clothes is generally used, the confederate manipulating the spring simultaneously with the firing of the rifle. As tho ball is of extremely thin glass, a mere touch suffices to shatter it. _ : In these exhibitions some of the rifle "experts" invite gentlemen from the audience to testify that the ss-capon is indeed loaded. The cartridge shown looks very well, but it is a shell of thin wax blackened to resemble a leaden bullet. It would not hurt a fly. London Graphic'on the G.T.P. ' A descriptive article of more than passing-interest, and svhich should prove of inestimable .value, appears, in ithe London Graphic of December 19, '1908. Under the caption, "Girdling the Earth with an All-Red Route," some salient facts and features of the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway are depicted with pen and camera. Touching on the importance of the All-Canadian Transcontinental as a connecting, land link in the all-red scheme, the svriter' proceeds to show the important part the nesv road is taking in the opening up and development of ��������� a nesv and immense area oi country, rich .in natural resources. What svould probably' be of, oven' more interest to the readei* of The Graphic across the seas, arc the excellent viesvs svhich accompany the article, which shosv the first land- seekers' excursion train, a glimpse of the tosvn of Rivers and.of Nokomis, and several interesting scenes in and around Prince Rupert. Tho viesvs of Prince Rupert and harbor aro particularly good, showing the svestern terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific to be most charmingly situated and already making a pretentious shosv of becoming the important centre svhich it is destined to be. The article which The Graphic produces svill no doubt bring a clearer realization to many distant readers of the immense strides in railway building that is taking place in Canada today and of the unlimited possibilities of capital and labor , in producing svoalth in this great country of ours.

At the time of his-inarriage four years ago to a penniless beauty, Mr. Robert Goelct, the only brother of the Duchess of Roxburghe, svho has purchased an estate in France, as a permanent residence in Europe, was the richest bachelor in America. His nesv residence is situate by Meru Oise, and is knosvn as Sanricourt, the compact old feudal domain of the de Beauvoir -family. The price paid to the mortgagees was $300,000. For nearly twenty years the late ossmer, Mar-, quise Ludovic de Beauvoir, existed in a state of penury. He was knosvn to borrosv from his tenants, who secured their advances by allocating to themselves portions of the land. The consequence was that, through the. non-repayal, the tenants became the holders.of large tracts, and it is expected that to buy out the tenants Mr. Goelet svill have to pay an enormous figure. As soon as it svas decided to sell Sandricourt a debtor, who ! had a bill of sale on tho Louis XVI. furniture there, covered svith gorgeous Bcauvais tapestry, belonging to the grand salon, removed the costly suite from the house, and threatened to sell it up, as well as many of the (���������ther historical treasures of the princely dwelling. Wood as Food. In one quarter of the earth, at least, wood, in a certain form, serves as a common and constant article of diet, and that is the northern coast of Siberia.' At several points the natives eat wood, and'eat it because they like it. Even when fish: is plentiful, svond usually forms part of the evening meal of these natives, as testified by numerous travelers. Cleanly-stripped larch logs near every hut in that re-1 gion are silent witnesses to the general fondness for ss-ood diet. The dish is prepared by scraping off thick layers' immediately under the bark of the log.: These are chopped fine and mixed svith snow, the whole being boiled in a kettle. Sometimes a little fish roe, milk, or butter is mixed svith the wood. WHAT IS HERBAGEUM. Herbageum (Registered) is a vitalizing vegetable tonic and blood purifier free from all drugs.

Tt svas only the lucky intervention of a passenger, who caught him, that saved him from a watery grave. At the age of seven he was actually certified as dead by a doctor, whose verdict he disputed by an extraordinary 'recovery; and as a youth he had a narrosv escape from an infuriated bull in Chilham Park. ,As a young man he was seized by a madman "svho held him/suspended over tho svell of a deep staircase, and on another occasion, svhen climbing at St: Moritz, ho svent careering dosvn a slope tosvards a precipice svith a 500-yards drop, and only managed to pull up with a fesv feet of-tho edge.

The svriter heard a rather good story the other day concerning Miss Ella- line Terriss, svho, together svith her husband, Mr. Seymour Hicks, is appearing for the first time upon the varictv stage in a sketch by Mr. Paul Rubens, entitled "The Fly-by-Night," at the Palace Theatre, London, England. It was during.the run of "Bluebell in Fairyland" at the Vaudeville, svhen Miss Terriss was capturing the heart of every youngster who went to see her delightful creation of a modern Cinderella, - that a poorly- dressed boy went round to the stage door one dny and asked to see the popular actress. But the stage doorkeeper was obliged to refuse the re- _quest, on which the little fellow handed him a packet and asked that it should be given to Miss Terriss. When tlio popular actress opened it she found that it contained ��������� three acid drops and a halfpenny, together -svith a little note saying hosv sorry the boy svas for "dear little Bluebell." "It wn3 one of the most pathetic incidents of my life," Miss Terriss remarked svhen telling the story. Family of Church Workers. Rev.

There is no No. 13 in the Strand, in Hblborn, Threndneodle street, St. James' street, Woburn square, or Westbourne Grove.

Trees Producs Returns From Other- wise Waste Lands. The benighted notion is still occasionally encountered that forest preservation means a stoppage <fi svood cutting and lumbering. That is about as accurate and sensible as it svould be to suppose that the cultivation of corn meant that no more corn should be-cut ancl'husked. But even among those svho knosv better, and svho favor an enlightened forestry system, there is not alsvays a full appreciation of the pecuniary value of cultivated svoodland. . A sn-iter in The London Daily Mail takes up this phase of the question effectively. There aro in the United Kingdom about 3 000,000 acres of forests. He estimates that there are 7,000,000 acres more of land which is now svaste and which.could-profitably be planted with trees at a cost of $15 an acre, or $105,000,000 in all, With such an area .of 10,000.000 acres nearly 150,000 acres could be cut yearly for 70 years before all was cut over, by which time, of course, there would be a 70 years' old growth on the land svhich was first cut. The writpr reckons the minimum value of the product to be $350an acre in-70 years making a total revenue of $50,000,000 a year from the 10,000.000 acres. Tn addition, forests up to 60 years old should yield $200, or $3.75 yearly an acre, for "thinnings," which would mean $37,500,000 for the 10,000,000 acres, raising the total yearly income from that area of forests to $37,500,- 000, or $8.75 an aero. That is not a large income from land, though it is more than many farms average But it would be an income from land which otherwise would yield none at all. There are millions of acres of mountain and swamp in Great Britain which are incapable of being put to any other profitable use. On just that ground of direct returns from systematic tree culture and cutting, therefore, forestry is to be commended. On the other hand, on the ground of the utility of forest areas for the storage of rainfall and the regulation "of svater flow, such 1 system is so indispensable that it should bo established and maintained en an extensive scale, even if there was not a cent of nrofit, but an actnal loss yearly on each acre. Famous British Function Was Instituted by Lord Brougham. The customary breakfast given at the opening of the legal term by the Lord Chancellor in the House of Lords to about 300 guests is an institution which goes back to the days of the versatile Brougham. For the last 40 years it has been held.in the House of Lords, but at an earlier date it was given in the Lord Chancellor's 'residence. It is.a relic'of the times svhen breakfast svas a great social function. Many other great men had svhat may be termed (the breakfast habit. Thus Mr. Gladstone svas a regular giver of breakfasts and a constant attendant at them when given by others. .Of recent years, however, the breakfast has fallen into desuetude as a' social function, except at the universities, svhere' young men are still found who are capable of consuming three or four ��������� courses ��������� and the svhile maintaining a genial flow of elegant conversation. Recently an attempt has been made to -revive the breakfast. -Thus the King in 1907, * at Newmarket, issued sovoral invitations to breakfast parties. To our ancestors the meal ss-as a solid one, of many dishes of moat, qualified by sack .possets or small beer, the ancient equivalent of soda water. Tea svas not* known, ancl coffee svas only to be found in the mediaeval analogue of the modern museum." DO JUST WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM THAT'S WHAT JOSEPH MACKLIN - SAYS OF DODD'S KIDNEY' PILLS.

Rapidly diminishing, svith their origin still unknosvn, the Masarsva, or bushmen of the Khalahari Desert, ss-ould appear to be a people svell svorthy of study by the ethnologist. A contribution, to their life story appears in the new number of The African Monthly," from the pen .of Mr. C. C. Clements Vialls, who has been trading,for some years past on the Bochuana border, and has often come into contact with these strange dwellers on the waterless . plain. Closely resembling the Hottentot in color and features, the bushmen are gifted svith an abnormal amount of instinct, but svith very little intellect. Their vocabulary is confined to some throe hundred svords. and is a serins of "clicks," like that of the Hottentot; but nol ������von the Hottentot can understand them. They have no rites or'-ceremonies, use no pots or-eookinc iilen- *ils, and possess no svoapons beyond a boss- and a shfaf of poisoned arrows. Their posvers of endurance are nmaz- incr: they can run dosvn giraffe, eland, wildebeeste, a^d duiker until their marry drops from sheer exhaustion. When'short of other food they eal rats, reptiKs. and insects of all sort? with a-relish; but they refuse to touch monkeys, saving they are "people," like themselves. Platypus Is Part Snake. It seems, on the authority of an Australian naturalist, that the duckbilled ornithorhynchus, not content with outraging most of the fixed lasvs of natural history, has to be classed in one respect with the order of venomous snakes . In a case at Kempsey. where a platypus ss-as caught by a small boy and promptly clawed his captor, Dr. Casement held that the poison which entered tho boy's arm ss-as identical ssvth snake poison. Unfortunately, however, ihere is no poison sac in the vicinity of the class-, nor is there any ejection orifice. But may not the platypus, asks the naturalist already referred to, be able fo transfer 'poison from its bill to its claw? That is the explanation some bushmen give of the intense virulence of a platypus wound. Tho saliva of enraged animals or birds is often poisonous. It is not retained in a sac, or carried along a duct, as the snake's poison is. but svhen it mingles svith human blood it produces many of the effects of snake bite.

"Acting on the instructions of the Aborigines' Protection Board, a local police officer visited the aborigines' camp, and seven youthful blacks of both sexes were transferred to the public school, where they proudly took their places among three or four score of svhite children. In a few moments the school was in an uproar, and as soon as it was realized that the nesv pupils had come to stay the ss-hite children, deaf to the master's protests, left thp building in a body.

History svas the subject. "Nosv, tell me," said the inspector, svho was the mother of our great Scottish hero, Robert Bruce?" He pointed to the top boy, then round the class. There was no an- ssver.

Specimen of a Fish That Is Both Queer and Rare.

The fish, 'which was brought to the city, is what is called "the sea bat," and It Is a perfect reproduction of n leather wing bat on a large scale. The fish is about fifteen Inches long and about thirty, inches across the back. . Strange to slate, it had a thin, threadlike tall about fifteen Inches in length, and on each side of the rear appendage were two perfectly formed gloved feet, with n smaller dimension having the exact appearance of a thumb svith the other part of the hand mlttcned. ��������� The mouth of the strange specimen was about five Inches across, and on each side of the tnoutb or the underside of the body there were five "strainers," or holes, through which the fish is said to rid Itself of refuse products resulting from the forage II picks up at the bottom of the sea.
