THE CORNISH TIN DEPOSITS.
Great English Industry Still Capable
of Big Production.
Though the Cornish tin deposits
have been worked from the dawn of
history, experts hold that vast quan
tities are still to be found in this
metalliferous soil. In the past twenty
years Cornwall has been badly hit by
the development of tin mining in the
Straits Settlement. The fall in the
price of the metal caused the closing
of many of the Cornish mines, and
incidentally led to the migration of
“Cousin Jacky,” as the Cornish miner
is known, to every quarter of the
globe. It seemed indeed as if mining,
in the duchy had received a blow
from which it could by no possibility
recover. A few mines managed to
survive, notably Dolcoatli, which
earned a modest profit even in the
lean years when tin varied between
£60 and £70 per ton. With the
metal nearly treble that price, it is
not surprising that speculators and
prospectors are turning avid eyes to
this westernmost county.
The ouhanced price of tin is likely
to be permanent, for it is due to
natural, not artificial, causes. Tin is
the rarest of all the metals, and the
world's consumption has now out
grown the supply. The world's pro
duction has averaged, in recent years,
75,000 Ions, of which more than one
half has come from the Straits Set
tlements. About 15,000 tons per an
num come from the Dutch East In
dies; 5,000 tons from Cornwall; 5,
WO tons from Australasia, and a
similar quantity from Bolivia. Tin is
scarcely found at ail in Europe or in
the L’nited States.
Rather Rough.
Above the stairway there flickered a
candle and then a deep voice called
from the shadows:
1 Katherine, Katherine. Who is
that sandpapering the wall this hour
«f the night?”
A long stillness and then:
"No one down here, father, dear.
I guess it must be next door.”
The candle vanished and then from
the gloom of the parlor:
“George, you big goose, I told you
never to call on me unless you had
been shaved.”
Subject for Another Lecture.
"Oh, dear,” exclaimed Mrs. Slap
dash, when they were finally seated
in the carriage, ‘Tve only got one of
my earrings on. I left the other ou
my dressing table.”
“Huh!” grunted her husband, “just
like my lectures on your carelessness
—in one ear and out the other.”
No Fear.
“Bridget,” said Mrs. Hiram Offer,
sternly, “on my way home just now I
saw that policeman who was in the
IriTchen with you so long last evening,
and I took occasion to speak to him—”
“Oh! shure. that’s all roight, ma'am,”
Interrupted Bridget. “Oi’m not jealous.
Oi hov him cinched.”

“There’s a reason,” as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that Avork not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums so necessary in the
primary work of digestion.

CUBAN CONGRESS
CALLED TO MEET TO CONSIDER
CONDITION OF COUNTRY.
Fighting Still Goes On, and It’s Hard
to Tell Where Either Side
Is "At.”
Havana.—President Palma has is
sued a call for a special session of
Congress to convene September 14, in
order to consider the disturbed condi
tion of the country and measured for
ending the intolerable situation.
The recent principal features in the
revolt were attempts by the Western
Railway to get trains as far toward
Pinad del Rio as possible and the ad
vancement of an armored train with
machine guns and recruits to the
country now occupied by the insur
gents. Wire communication both by
railroad and government lines has
been cut repeatedly farther east, and
neither the railroad nor the govern
ment is enabled to communicate be
yond Paso Real, two miles south of
Pinar del Rio City.
Four hundred more reinforcements
have left Havana to co-operate with
machine gun corps in an effort to
reach Col. Avalos at Pinar del Rio,
and another machine gun battery
started for Santa Clara in an ar
mored train, which is taken to indi
cate that the government does not
over-seriously regard the unofficial
armistice.
The government is unwilling to ad
mit the question of cessation of hos
tilities or the use of the armistice. It
is considered that the use of the word
armistice would meant recognition of
belligerency.
The veterans who are seeking a
peaceful means of settlement profess
that the Santa Clara and Havana in
surrectionists are ready to quit and
turn against Guerra if he does not
show a similar tendency, but Guerras
conduct, and especially the attitude of
the Liberals in Havana, who supposed
ly are members and advisers of the
revolutionists, totally precludes the
probability that peace is at hand. A
permanent veterans' peace committee
has been constituted, and includes, be
sides Gen. Menocal, Gens. Nodarse,
Cedreco, Recio, Agramoute, Molinet
and Padro, and Col. Lazo.
The cigar and cigarette manufac
turers and the 25.000 employes in
those industries in Havana are awak
ening to an appreciation of the con
sequences of there being no crop of
Pinar del Rio tobacco. The number of
persons more or less directly employed
in the Havana factories, with their
departments, is estimated to approach
100,000.
The Havana factpries must, unless
the insurrection soon ends, suspend
work next summer for a year or more,
or until the crop planted a year hence
is available, cured and assorted.
Indications for the city are ex
tremely blue. It is claimed that the
best tobacco regions never before were
so tied up by an insurrection.
The Western Railroad has received
a telegram from Paso Real, saying
that the band commanded by the Pai/.
brothers was still holding up the ar
mored troop train between Herradara
and Consolacion del Sur, and that,
firing was continuing. The dispatch
adds that Col. Avalos’ troops in Pinar
del Rio undoubtedly are surrounded.
The mayor of Guabal, near Guana
jay, has joined the insurgents. He was
accompanied by 17 rural guards, who,
in anticipation of. an attack, deserted
the band of 300 rural guards at Guan
ajay. __
Irrigation Reservoir Breaks.
Durango, Mex.—The breaking of a
great irrigation reservoir on t?ie Santa
Catalina del Almo plantation, killing
one man, washed away four houses
and caused damage to crops and prop
erty which is estimated at a mini
mum of $500,000. But for the prompt
action of the manager of the plant,
who warned all of the probable dan
ger, the loss of life wwild have been
great, as a large number of laborers
are employed on the plantation.
Drowned in Bath Tub.
Fort Worth, Tex.—Mrs. J. A. Rog
ers, an elderly woman, was found
dead in a bath tub in her residence.
Justice Terrell pronounced her death
due to drowning from accidental
causes. It is thought she was seized
with some attack while bathing and
was unable to turn off the water,
which had overflowed the tub and the
house.
Conspirators' Cases Continued
Douglas. Ariz.—Hearings in the con
spiracy cases against seven Mexican
agitators have been continued until
September 17, by which time the au
thorities hope the unrest, will be set
tled. The prisoners have been re
moved to the jail at Tombstone for
safe keeping. The charge of viola
tion of the immigration laws was en
tered against Trevioco Salcida, Ham
ber and three others at the request
of the Mexisan government, which
will deal with them should their de
portation be ordered. These prison
ers will be confined at. Tucson.
Three Stars for Fairbanks.
Indianapolis.—The Star League of
Newspapers—the Indianapolis, Terre
Haute and Muncie Star—has edito
rially declared for Charles W. Fair
banks for president in 1908.
In Memory of Dead Cadets.
Mexico City.—Memorial services
were held September 8 at Chapultepec
in honor of six military cadets who
lost their lives at the battle of Cha
pultepec during the war of the North
American invasion. President Dias
presided at the memorial exercises.

SECOND HAND MAiL BOXES.
Why a Little Village May Have Big
Numbers in Its Post Office.
The man who was spending his
summer vacation in the country was
looking quizzically at the mail boxes
in the rural post office.
"I did not know this was such a
large place,” he said. “I thought it
had a population of only about 4,000,
but the mail box numbers run much
higher than that, and I don't suppose
every one in town rents a box either.”
The postmaster peered out of his
little barred window.
“I can explain that," he said. "You
see the country post offices never
get new boxes, but we have those
left over when the city establishments
make over their offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots of country
places are bound to have high num
ber boxes.
“Although our numbers run over
4.000, you won't find any less than
1.000, some other country post office
drew the lower ones. I myself would
rather get the big numbers, for it
makes us seem like a bustling little
slty.”
TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA,
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out—Cured by Cuticura.
“I had an eruption appear on my
Chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. I at first thought it was
prickly heat. But scon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to a physician I
purchased a complete treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies, iu which I had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap
peared again, only a little lower; but
before it had time to spread I pro
cured another supply of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use un
til the cure was complete. It is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of a return.
I have more faith in Cuticura Reme
dies for skiu diseases than anything
I know of. Emma E. Wilson, Lis
comb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905.”

He had crossed her and she was

“8ee!” she hissed, pointing her fin

Rut the young man only smiled.
“SO becoming,” he mused, softly.
"What is becoming, sir?"
"Why, the purple. It just matches
that purple waist you have on."
And the next moment she was all
smiles and telling her girl friends that
George was the cleverest chap in the
world.

Physicians Recommend Castoria
CASTORIA lias met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic,
and does not stupefy. * It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s1
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how-!
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by'
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information.—Hairs Journal of Health,

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher,
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed you#
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory "
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands
first In its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never hava
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent.” ,
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher’s.”
Dr.Wm.J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Caa.
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.”
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe it an excellent remedy.”
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castor .a my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will Join me in heartiest recon*
mendation of Castoria.”
