There estate miner, wh lands without e Some curious results are reached by an wnalysis of the figures, In the petroleum industry, for example, 486 employees tarn out products to the value of $2,148,937, wnd get $279,930 in wages, or, roughly speaking, about an eighth of the value produced. The remaining sevenâ€"eighths go to the owners of the oil fields and the captains of commerce. .On the other hand, in the making of common brick and drain tile the value of which is set down at $970â€" 000, there are 2,375 employees, earning $389,000. In brickâ€"making 40 per cent. of the total value of the product goes to the worker, the raw material being of very little value. In the quarrying of stone even a greater proportion of the roduct goes to the laborer. The value or stone quarried by 854 persons was $554,000,and the amount paid in wages was $336,000, As Mr. Blue explains, much of the work done in the gold fields of the Province is in development and preparing for the erecâ€" tion of mills. _ The statistics show that in Ontario was .02 $32,776. To the 92 P eitit DN 20 Nes e $32,776. To the 92 men engaged in goldâ€" mining $38,032 were paid in wages Of the gmpecu of goldâ€"mining generally Mr. lue says :â€" "The gold fields of the Province are attracting greater notice, and during the past year the Rainy Lake region especially drew many explorers and capitalists toâ€" ward it. â€" Numerous discoveries of gold bearing ore are reported there, four or five locations are being nf:t.ivaly‘ dfvalopod, and one gold mill is nearly ready for operation. in the Lake of the Woods district the mine wod mill on Sultana Island have been workcd centinuously, and it is claimed that freeâ€"milling ore is obtained throughâ€" out the entire extent of the workings, now wbout 20 feet underground. Three other promising properties are in course of develâ€" opment with British, American | and Canadian capital, and it is proposed to put w mill on each of them this year, _ At the present time & milll is in course of erection at Harold Lake, near the upper waters of the Seine River. in Galbraith Township were operated only during a portion of the year, owing, it is said, to an insufficiency of capital ; but the engineer in charge claims that the work done in the mine has proved it to be a good property. The death of one of the principal shareâ€"holders, which occurred recently, will doubtless for a time leave the aTsirs of the company in &n unsettled state. _ The Creighton mine in the township of that name was idle the whole year, but towards the close of it fresh exploratory work was commenced with a diamond drill and it in reported that a strike of considerable promise has been made ; operations to more satisfactory prove the extent and quality of the ore body are now in progress. Mr. Blue gives some very interesting statistics as to the ratio of wages to ~alue of product in some of the leading branches of mining, and devotes a considerable amount of space to & demonstration of the growth of the cement and clay industries. The preesed brick and terra cotta departâ€" ments are developing rapidly. Six years only have passed since the introduction of this industry, and last yvear 200 workmen were engaged turning out product to the value of $286,230. There bas been steady improvement in the architecture of our t 22 a result of the introduction of only have passed since this industry, and last were engaged turning value of $286,230.

Not a little space is devoted to considâ€" eration of the effort of the Mcorehouse syndicate to introduce iron smelting in Ontario. â€" The last attempt to produce iron was made in 1854, and many subsequent projects have come to nothing. Anaccount is given of the works of the syndicate now «2l in process of construction Family Names of Koyalties Which Have Come to be Incorrectly Used. Not one person out of a thousand, if he had a fair day‘s start and the privilege of rummaging among encyclopedias, could trace out the real family names of the culers of Europe. Mistakes are very frequently maC¢ through ignorance, and these mistakes are l so frequently quoted they become acceptâ€" | ed as facts. The English royal family ure, known, for example, as Guelphs, the Rusâ€"| sian royal family as Romanoffs and the: Portuguese kingly house as Braganzas. | All of these, it now seems, are wrong. Queen Victoria was originally Mise Azon, or Miss Azon von Este. She was decendâ€" i ed, as were the other members of the | houses of Brunswickâ€"Luneburg and Hnn-i over, tron Azon, Margrave of Estc. The Prince of Wales, the son of Prince Alben‘ of Saxeâ€"Coburg, has naturally his fathor‘s | family name. He is spoken of more cor-‘ rectly than any other roysl personages of } Europe. Descended from the Wettin®, which line was founded in the tweégh century, his actual name is Mr. Albért Edward Wettin. Likewise the King of Portugal, strictly speaking, has the same fumily name. He was a grandson of another Prince of Coâ€" burg, who married the then Queen of Porâ€" tugal, and thereby became ruler of that country. Ferdinand of Buigaria comes from exactly the same stock and is Ferdinâ€" | and Wettiz. â€" A cousin of his, and of the same family name, is the present monarch of Belgium, Leopold I1., a prince of Saxeâ€" Cobury, having ascended the Belgiam | throne in 1831.

In the year 1500 the Zollern tamily. had two male descerdants, the Count of Zollern and the Burgrave of Nuremburg. From the latter comes the present royal houxe of the Gerâ€" man Empire. So William II, is William Zollerp.

Sharpe, with m crew of forty men including engineers and stokers, to man the Nerito, went to her and found ‘ that she had been forced across two bars by f the winterstorms and was fast on the beach ‘ of the island. Canals were dredged through the two bars; and anchors, attached to tour fifteenâ€"inch manilia hawsers were dropped astern of the Nerito. Steam winches, to which the inboard ends of the bawsers were made fast, were set going on the Nerito, and, inch, by inch the ship made sternway down the canals though the inner and outer bars. ‘The berritt assisted in the work by pulling on & heavy . hawser made fast to « big bitt on the Nerito, Twentyâ€"one days were spent preparing for the job cf hauling and towing the ship into deep water. The actual work of moving the ship was finished in ten days. She was damaged about $50.000, There are nearly 500 tons of coal in her bunkers. The Merritt Compary did the job for $20,000.

There may be some trath in that view of marksmanship, but there have been cases in which the services of crack shots have ;hcen invaluable, the following instances will prove. P 1 2 ul oagovias PC obtes At the time of the Indian Mutiny, l young Hercules Ross, son of the famous sportsman and marksman, Capi, Horati® Ro:s, and brother of Edward loss, the winner of the Queen‘s Prize at W imbledon» was the crack rifleâ€"shot of India, He subâ€" sequently won the Indian Championship three years in succession, and on the third occasion put on ten consecutive bull‘s eyes at 1,0 0 yards,. He was also a mighty tigerâ€"slayer . But he proved the value of his deadly skill with the rifle agaicst more formidable foes than the jungle could produce. His greatost and most memorable feat was the following:â€"â€" _ He had ridden nearly 100 miles to a fon} I i anett o N nga that a large to cross. It was 0 until the women and children and the sick and wounded could be removed from an English station close by. Hercules Koss hervically undertook the task, â€" He bad a p‘t dug on the bank of the river commandâ€" ing the ford, Here he took his post, with w dozen good rifles by his side and four attendants to load for him. The heavy PM ic reae o ooap mnletonierwertand the ford EORUCCK Armed only with the old Brown . es:, the Sepoys could not touch the occupant of the rifle pit. For three hours, with ‘unfuiling skill and nerve, Hercules Ross | shot dowa the rebel rowers whenever they ‘;ttempu:d to cross, till at last a body of English troops with three guns came up,â€" and the Sepoys sullenly retired. By bis splendid markemansh:p, coupled with un» | flinching steadiness and courage, yOung | Ross uedoubtedly saved the lives of those iEnghsh women and children with their helpless sick and wounded companions. Anothor and even more rémarkable inâ€" wtance of the practical value of marksimanship ’m action occurred at Lucknow, during the |long and terrible siege, The Sepoys had :)muled a couple of eighteenâ€"pounders on to w flat roof of one of the palaces which surâ€" lrounded the Residency in which the | English were at bay, 1t they could only ! mount these guns they would be able to raing bad swollsn the river, and the iord was impassable ; but the enemy had & large boat, and with this proceeded to make the passage <f the stream. But Rows, from his rifleâ€"pit, picked off the rowers one by one with marvelious skill, Time after time the boat put back, time maiter time it came. on again ; but the quick and deadly fire which that swift rifleâ€" man kept up prevented the oaremen from ever getting more than a third of the way across. ® e sw m NN OUANeNew moul pour down upon the defenders of the Residency, which would soon have made the place untenable and compelied the Englisn to surreader. . It was imperntlve. therefore, that those guns should not be mounted. Sergeant Halliwel}, of the 32nd Foot, was the crack shot of the litt‘e garrison, He was supplied with the best rifles that the officers possessed, and he was posted in an angie of the Residency, with orders to prevent the Sepoys from mounting those g\lgl EO es cus Aparne Navne s noninpen w 0t ie up, and Sergeant Halliwell‘s long and painful vigil wes at an end. ACCIDENT INSURANCE FOR CYC LISTS. Companies Perplexed Over a New Element in Their susiness. The bicycle is a revolutionist ; it over= turns one thing after another with the ease of a young Sameon, Horses have to go, not on the streets,but from them. Farmers find their markets for oats cut down ; new trades are created and huge factories built; new interpretations of the law have to be made ; ladies alter the fasbions that have resisted reform for a generation ; modes of recreation are modified ; languago receives @dditions ; the values of real estate are upset ; new diseases are noted ; roads are reconstructed ; and now the accident inâ€" surance companies arerattled. _ They find that their old calculations for risk will not do. They have discovered that injuries from bicycle accidents are more serious than the average and that riding exposes a greater number to risk than formerly, so they think of raising the rates. It also wppears that in the West, where it is generally level, the risks are much less than . in the billy and mountainousregions. â€" The subject, with foot and base ball risks, was referred to a committee for investigation, It is probable that the great number of adults learning to ride has much to do with both the number and the serious character of the accidents. _ Most of the learners are grown up. . When the riders learn as childâ€" ren the risk will be less. 1f the risks were based only on those who have learned they would probably not be above the average. U The New Maxim Gun. The new Maxim un is one of the most terrible weapons known to man. In appearâ€" ance it is a mere toy. â€" It can fire 600 shots per n.inute, so that if every man of a regiâ€" ment were supplied with it 36,000,000 shots could be fired in an hour, each builet being capable of piercing 40 inches of ouk. 1: even a small percentage of the bullets did their deadly work, war on a large scale would be impossible, and armies would cease to meet, So long as the trigger is held back the gun will fire automatically as long as armm»nition is supplied, When the trigger is relsased the firing ceases. The gun can be unlimbered and firing withâ€" in 5% seconds of the giving of the word of command. 1t will prove of special value in a mountainous country, where a fe x wellâ€" placed guns would wipe out an army. It is no exaggeration to say that 100 men armed 'itg the gun could mow down 10,000 cavairymen with ease, . The possibilities of the machine seem unlimited, and its extraâ€" orainary effectiveners is well conveyed by a military expert, who was present at the last test of the gun. . He says : " It is the most deadly instrument of war I have ever seen. I have been told it was only a toy, whereas its accuracy and reliability are simply appalling." Each bullet will pierce the bodies of six men, and its muzzle : be moved like the ond of a gardenâ€"hose.

A medical man expresses the belief that a person could live for any length of time and take heavy exercise all the while on no other food than sweet milk. His conviction is the result of personal experiment. He wanted toestablish the fact that persons con â€" valescing from sickness may grow strongâ€" er with no other nutriment than sweet milk, and that they are obliged to take @omething solid" to eat,as so many people imagine. â€" He holds that many a convales> cent has gone into his grave as & result of overtaxing his weak stomach by putting "solid" food into it; and he maintains that the oid belief as to bread being the first osâ€" aantial of human life is shown by his experiâ€" "solid" food into it; and he mainCAINB® SUCC the oid belief as to bread being the first osâ€" sential of human life is shown by his experiâ€" ments to be erroneous, His test was to live for thirty days with only sweet milk as & nourishment, In the whole time he lost five and a half pounds in weight, but no strength. â€" He even wttributes the loss of weight to the warmth of the weather ‘ and to excessive exercise on the picycle and ‘ the daily manipulation of 16â€"pound dumb bells and other heavy weights. He took more exercise than usual in order to test the thing fairly, Onthe seventh day of the experiment he ran several foot races with askillful ruuner and was beaten in each race. On the thirtieth day he again pitted himself against vhe same runner and did the best of the racing, which certainly would tend to confirm his statement that he foat no strengeh during the thirty days‘ test.

In Darwin‘s *‘Voyage of he Beagle," writing of a heavy shower, wmounting to 1â€"6 inches in six hours, which occurred during his stay in the neighbour~ hood of Rio de Janeiro, the author deâ€" scribes the sound produced by the drops falling on the innumerable leaves of the forest as very temarkable, and says the noise was like the rushing of a great body of water, and could be heard at a distance Mis At the Government cinchona plantaâ€" tions in Jamacia, on Dec. 21, 1885, 11.80 inches of rain fell in twentyâ€"four. hours but this measurement does not indicate the total fall, as a gauge, when read at the usual hour of 7 a. m., was found full and overflowing. It is probable that unless care is taken to prevent this occarring, many very heavy falls are not fully measured. â€" On the crest of the blue Mounâ€" tairs, on the same plantations 31.50 inches fall ia one week of which three days were fine of a quarter of a mile. Dampler gives a lively pisture of the rain at Georgomia, off the comst of Panzma, where, he says when he and his men were drinking chocolate in the open air, it rained so heavily that some of them declared they could not empty their calabashes, for they could not drink up the water as fast as it fell into them. In many parts of the tropics rain is a remarkably regular phenomenon. At Rio ’ . ~ ) s en e advet enc it Sn n 2 omm Ens tC de Janeiro it is said that it used to be the faushicn in invitations for the afternoon to state whether the guests were to assemble before or after the thunderstorm, which came on regularly everyday at a particular hours2loo C * Customs Payment Made in Gold. The Customs Department at Ottawa bave received a most unique payment for Customs duties, being about 200 ounces of gold dust, valued at $4,000. This was collected for duties by the Northâ€"West mounted police cflicer at Fort Cubady, Â¥Yukon district, who also acts as collector of Customs, As there are neither bank notes nor coin in the district payment was made in ""the currency of the country," that is gold dust, which "* goes" at $20 per ounce, The dust was in a buckskin bag, packed in a small but very strong wooden box. It was shipped down the Yukon to St, Michael‘s, at the mouth of the river, thence by steamer to Vancouâ€" ver, B. C., and by expross to Ottawa. On its receipt Acting Commissioner of Cusâ€" toms Mcgdiohnl had it placed in the Bank of Montreal for sale and conversion into coin. / So far as is known this is the first instence in Canada of Custom duties being paid in "* duat," i HEALTH TROPICAL DOWNPOURS eÂ¥ The Precious Baby.

On the first day of its use I began to feel that it was doing what no other medicine had done. â€" The first dose relieved the distress completely. Before night I actually felt hungry and ate with an appetite such as I had not known for months. I began to pick up in strength with surprising rapidity, slept well nights, and before I knew it I was eating three square meals regularly every day, with as much relish as ever. I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the South American Nervine Tonic cured me when all other remedies failed. I have recovered my old weightâ€"over 200 poundsâ€"and never felt better in my life." CHARLGES LEAVENS Mr. Frank Bauers experience /s that of all others who have used o South American Nervine Tonic. Its instantaneous action in relieving disâ€" tress and pain is due to the direct effect of this great remedy upon the nerve centres, whose fagged vitality is energized instantly by the very first dose. â€" It is a great, a wondrous cure for all nervous diseases, as well as indigestion and dyspepsia.
