Copper, Silver Which itIone:e Lost on the la Lerw and Sten and Gold Rings In Is Rapidly Won and ip of a Coin -How the gert4 Are Evaded, Among th.e lo -er classes a the north of England gambling has ceased to be a pastime. It hat become a mania. No matter -what race is to be run, evemif it be but a hen race, the colliers must have , their "bit on," and no game can be -played without the mimks. backing their fancy. 1 The favorite aunt:of the gambler ii the grounds where sparrow sweeps, pi- L geon shooting, r bbit coursing and other i similar sports ar held. There is nothing unlawful about the sporting, and matters , are generally so well arranged that al-, though the poll o are aware of the ex-- istence of the iambling, °yet they are powerless to preyent it. The presence of a stranger usuellly puts a check to pro- ceedings. As -al description a one of these pocket editions of Monte Carlo, which are so numerous in, the populous portions of the north, mig (t prove inter- esting, the writevisited one of the best known. The grounds are situated, on the out- skirts of one of the large Manufacturing towas of Lancashire and are much fre- quented by the inhabitants of the sur- rounding villages. The way is rather desolate, but he the lanes several men were lounging about. ' These -men are called the "scouts,". and their duty is to see that no suspicious person, police or otherwise, enters surreptitiously. The grounds consistof several large fields, which are well iscreened from -observa- tion.. Admission is gained by a very nar- row winding pnssage, which opens out 11) upon the pay x and pavilion. When the writer enter d, the place looked quite respectable. At, the bottom was a large number of spectators watehing a rabbit coursing roetch. A man ran some dis- tance down the ifield with two. rabbits in his hands, andl,when he released them twe dogs were1 sent after them. The dogs rapidly gained on the rabbits and soon eaught them, but two men in racing costume, who had run after them, caused the' dogs to drOp their trembling prey. The dogs were tplendid looking animals. It was quite evident that the visitor had created ty diversion, for the men crowded round the "stranger," eying him suspiciously. It took him some little time to convince them that he was not an agent of the police. When this was clone, the crowd surged away, and an altera- tion was soon effected in the scene. Some of the men wire now playing quoits, other a cards air various other gamee, m but the ajorit ' had formed themselves into groups or -1 -"rings." These "rings" are.called gold rings, silver rings or cep - per rings, according to the coins gambled for. There were 4ree large rings and sev- eral smaller ones. The writer looked at one of the large silver rings. Jt --consist- ed of about 40 persons, and in if center was• the man who did the tossing by :throeving up tako half pennies. . If they came down with tails up, :the men who had hacked tails won; if heads, then heads won. Two men armed with sticks kept the ring f enn decreasing in size by striking out rigl t and left and hitting the legs of the gen biers as they pressed in. The persons foi ming the ring were of all ages and sizes, some well dressed, ,me in rags and tat .ers, some laughing, s me swearing, but II with the same greedy, covetous look upon their faces. They all, young and old,pressed eagerly forward until the blows of the men at -id° drove them back. No one seemed to be angry at the blows received. The place became a pandemo- nium, the noise grew deafening. The dogs barked, howled and yelped, while the men shoutei,q themselves hoarse. The gambling itself was very shnple. One of the men would throw down on the gravel at his feet a 5 ehilliug piece and call out: "Heads a crown! Heads a crown! Heads a crown!" AMIalier man would drop an- other coin at his feet and say, "Tails a crowa!" The . cries were sometimes va- ried to "Heads a drown! Who'll take heads a, crow -u" • The man in the mid- dle, Who was a iiieutral, put two half pen- nies up n the palm of his hand and threw them U). Now all was nearly silent, and the gamblers' eves followed the spinning coins re, they went into the air andethen fell tinaling te 'see the faces of the half penhiea. Again the 4oise grew as the cry ."Tailsr was ehouted. The backers of tails stooped doWn and picked up the coins they had won. The losers either pulled ,more money out of their pockets, or, if they were nearly "blinked," went to the copper riag again to court fortune. Now the cries if "Heads a crown!".and 'rails a crown!" arose, and the same procedure was one through, and it was astonishing to See the amount of money W011 and lost at this simple game. Some oue caine up to the writer and said: "If tha wants to see brass (money) change hands, go and look at yon ring." - The ring pointed out was a large one, and the people !composing it were on the whole perhaps 'better dressed -than the others. The nude of procedure was the same as in t le silver ring, but the amounts staketj were much larger, five pounds being a moderate stake. In a few minutes the wr ter saw hundeeds of dole larglost and w n. Some of the men who threw their gol on the floor were most miserable lookieg beings,. and appeared as if they had not had a dinner for a week. Appare itly a sovereign would more than cove . the cost of all their Cos- gessiums, and y t they frequently drew a haujlful a gold out of their pockets. . S ddenly a t einsformation came over the 1 scene. The word "strangers" was pas. ed along. The money was hurriedly picked up and the rings broken. Most of the men crowd d round where the cours- ing was taking place and appeared as if the were inteiested in the proceedings. In ibout •five 4iinutes two well dressed entered. They were "strangers." ther they were detectives or not the ling was not resumed, and the nds- gradua ly thinned of people.• ch gnnibliijg places are distributed ver the ind strial north and are like - continue Jto exist., for it is almost ssible to c llect evidence to lead to And we are prepared to do repairing of all kinds Engine and bite Work a specialty.

M RRIA LICENSES I SUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, 8E.A.PoRTH, ONTARIO. NO WITNOSES REQUIRED THE 111JRON EXPOSITOR. INDIAN DANCERS FEAR A CAMERA. It Requires Coaxing to Photograph Redskin Terpsiehoreans. To the untutered eye of the paleface Indian dances have a sameness about them that is distressing, but the red brethren who inhabit the desolate mesas of New Mexico or the awe inspiring can- yons of Colorado will explain with an air of pity for the dullness of their civilized visitors that there is a vast difference be- tween all the various social and semi- religious functions known as the "bear dance," "eagle dance," "sun dance," "corn dance" and innumerable othefa; also that each tribe has its own peculiar dances. There is therefore nothing to do i but accept the red man'explanation- with reservations. !I • The "stick" or "town" dance Of t4e1 Pueblos is a purely social functionopen; to both sexes. The men carry theia highe ly decorated. shields and spears, orna-1 mented with feathers. The women carry; nothing, but keep their tan& w upped' up in their blankets. There is no ort of . figure, no taking hold of hands no any- thing else resembling the dance 1 the paleface. The dancers merely hop around in a circle, keeping time to the music with their feet. None but men -may take part in the "eagle" dance. Thi g is more acrebatie than the "stick" dance. In this the dan4 cers try to imitate the movements of the eagle, gliding slowly about at times on tiptoe to indicate that they are soaring ; among the clouds, again crouching with ' outstretched arms and moving swiftly over the ground as an explanation hi pantomime that the king of birds is swooping down upon his prey. , To photograph an Indian dance is not so easy as it might appeai to the unso- phisticated observer. Long familiarity with the camera has made the noble red man sadly mercenary. Whenever he sees a lens pointed in his direction he imme- diately covers his face with his hands and, running up to the photographer, de - mends half a dollar for the privilege of taking his picture. A short time ago it occurred to the manager of a moving picture machine company that an Indian dance would be a splendid subject for a biograph pic- ture. Accordingly a man with the nec- essary apparatus was sent out to New Mexico to photograph a Pueblo dance. I After a week of negotiations the Pueb- los agreed to go through a dance for the benefit of the photographer in considera- tion of the sum of $10, to be paid in ad- vance. Indians do not entertain a very high opinion of the commercial integrity , of the white man. They take no chances. I The money was paid, the machine ad - I justed, and the dance began, but the in- stant the operator begian turning the crank of his machine the clatter of the apparatus caused a wild panic among the dancers. Eyery one fled in mortal terror to safe refuges behind rocks and houses, leaving the photographer transfixed with astonishment. He tried to explain that the machine, though noisy, was perfectly harmless, he entreated the dancers to re- turn, he offered bribes, but to no purpose. Not a Pueblo would risk his life again in front of the infernal machine for love or money. The biograph man was at last obliged to go away without any pictures; also without his $10. -Cleveland Plain Dealer. Time to Change the Subject. "It Is the strangest thing in the world," said one -of a group Of gentlemen a few days ago, "that these migratory swin- dlers we are continually -reading about , ever mantag-e to find victims in the busi- ness community. I can't understand how an intelligent man of affairs will allow himself to be taken in by one of the ras- ,cals. It is due every time to an amusing lack of ordinary precaution." "But one can't go on the theory that everybody is a scoundrel," protested a koker who happens to have been bitten lately for a small amount. "Well, I come pretty near going on that theory iti regard to strangers," replied the first speaker. "I simply take no chances. That's the only way to do business nowadays. Always be on your guard.' 'Why, I'll tell you what it is," he :added!, warming to the subject, "I would : not cash a foreign check for my own brother!" - i;Very likely you are correct," said the L.other dryly. "You know your brother bet- ter than I do." The prudent man chang- ed the subject. -New Orleans Times - Democrat. A Stone For a Throne. The throne of England, splendid in its trappings of silk, velvet and gold wire, lace and tassels, is simply an old fashion - led high backed. chair. It has been in use for more than 600 years, but its early history and the name of its maker are unknown. The wood is very hard. The back and sides .were for- merly painted in various colors. The ; seat is made of rough Sandstone. This stone, which is believed to possess - talismanic powers, is 26 inches in -length, ,17 inches in breadth and 191/2 inehes in thickness. Legends are told in connec- tion with it, but the truth probably is that it was originally used in Scotland as a coronation stone upon which the Scot- tish kings were seated while undergoing the ceremonies connected with being king of Scotland. . Fatigue Prom Mental Work. Dr. Edward Thorndike of the Western Reserve university has made some inter- esting experiments on mental fatigue. We are used to think of the mind as a machine, and our inability to work as a sign of its loss of energy.Sleep is sup- posed to restore the energy, as an accu- mulator is recharged with electricity. The. incorrectness of this view might be questioned by the fact that mental action is too complex for such simplicity, arid that some minds do not tire with large amounts of work. Dr. Thorndike's ex- periments show that certain persons are as fit for hard mental work after a day of it as in the morning, and seem to have ao analogy with a charged accumulator. Insult to Injury.

All Irtztrirn Grants of 11 inIg Lands in On-, tarlo Shall Provide That the Output Must b. flofiui.d in the Province. The recently issued Order -in -Coun- cil defining the policy of the Ontario. Government with regard to our growing mining interests and the in- dustrial interests connected with them has naturally directed atten- tion to the valuable resources which the Province possesses in its nickel mines. The expansion of our nickel industry has hitherto been handi- capped by the adverse American tar- iff, which prevented our finding a . market for the finished metal, tliough the United States imports incr asing quantities of ore and nickel matite to be refined within their own bo ders. The policy laid down by the Hon. G. W. Ross is the develop'.ment of the nickel industry by providing that a,11 future grants of mining lands shall provide that copper and nickel ores mined shall be treated and refired hi the Province, so as to produce the finished metal instead of exporting the raw material, and it is also con- templated to request the Dominion .Government to put in operation an existing Act giving them the power to place an export duty on e!lickel and copper. ores and to reopen nego- tiations with the British Government with the view of inducing theiat to accept an interest in nickel mines to be operated for Imperial purposes. The impetus 'which such a measure will give to nickel production may be understood from a comparison of some of the statistics furnished by tho last report of the Bureau of Mines and the figures showing the nickel production and manufacture of the -United States. The figures, covering a period of seven years from 1892 to 1898 inclusive, ahow that the total quantity of ore smelted in the Sudbury district was 591,852 tons, gie mg a product of 29,705,000 pounds. of nickel and 34,570,500 pounds of copper. At the selling price of matte at the furnaces, which Is the form in which it is exported, the total value of the nickel product for the period in question has been. $3,294.060 and of copper $1,302,805, a total of $4,596,865. Last year the yield was 4,567,500 pounds in nickel and 8,373,500 in copper, having a total selling value of $782,300. The price of nickel per pound last year was 9.23 cents, showing a 'alight rise as compared with the three pre- vious years. Taking the statistics furnished con- cerning the nickel industry -ite the United States by a publication' en- titled "The Mineral Industry, Its Statistics, Technology and Trade," a recognized authority on the subject, we find that the total home pro- duction of nickel in that country was: 33,700 pounds in 1897, which had, diminished to 11,145 pounds in 1898,, all from Missouri, and whereas the Product of the manufactured metal from both domestic and imported ore during the latter- year amounted to 7,138,929 pounds. The average value of the refined nletal in New York dur- ing both years was over 34 cents per pound. A comparison of this figure' with the 9 cents per pound received by the Canadian exporter shows the benefit received by the American re- finer at .our expense, by working up the ore to an advanced stage of manufacture. The Canadian Manufacturer gives some further figures supplied by Mr. R. P. Rothwell of the above-men- tioned publication,. showing the ex- tent to which the American nickel market is supplied by the crude ma- terial from the Ontario mines. Ac- cording to this authority the amount of nickel contaired in. Canadian ores imported into the United States has increased from 2,267,661 pounds, valued at $594,504 in 1895 to 7,- 127,784 pounds,. of the value of $2,- 459,085, in 1898. The value of nickel in the construction of war- ships and the strong feeling now ex- isting among our neighbors in favor of greatly increasing their naval strength points to a still further augmentation of this demand in the future. • As the Americans possessso little nickel that it is, as has been shown, hardly an appreciable factor in the output of their refineries, Can- ada with her large deposits of this valuable metal practically controls the situation and can safely oppose the import tariff of the -United States on the refined metal, an ex- port duty on the .shipment of matte and ore, which will -result, in the transfer of the refining industry to our Province. The Americans mast come to Ontario for a supply, and it lies with the people of the Province to determine whether they shall have it in a crude form or as a finished product. The expansion of the nickel indus- try in all its branches would result in the distribution here of a very large amount in wages, which now goes to foreigners. Mr. Blue of the Bureau of Mines gives the amount of wages paid in the nickel and copper industries during the last seven years at $1,929,894, being an aver- age of $489.45 per year for each em- ploye. The total number of hands engaged last year was 637. Consid- ering the difference between the p -rice at which nickel and copPer matte were exported and the value of the refined metals at an average selling price it is estimated that as a result of final. stages of the manufna,ture be- ing carried on abroad instead of in Ontario the foreigners realizeel some $10,000,000 for wages, services and profits which should have gone to build up our . own community. Not iiia Kind of Talir. "I'll bet you it is," cried Spark. The argument has reached a most exciting point. "Put up or shut up," answered Mr. Snark, in a common vulgar way. "Put up or shut up. Money talks." "It does," he said sadly. "It speaks a language which I can un- derstand but in which I cannot con- verse." Quickly Framed.
