COPPER WAS USED BY
PREHISTORIC MAN
SCIENTIFIC MINING: Copper and
its alloy, bronze, were known before
the time of Menes, the first Egyptian
King, who reigned at a period pos
sibly as early as 6500 B. C. It is be
lieved that copper was used unalloy
ed for many centuries before the dis
covery of the use of tin as an alloy
for producing bronze, which came in
to use on account of its great hard
ness. At the beginning of the 18th
century, Great Britain was making
three-quarters of the world’s copper
—possibly 5000 tons. One hundred
years ago the mines of the United
States, Spain, Chili, Mexico, Oanada;
South Africa, Australia and Tasman
ia, which now produce 90 per cent
of the world’s copper, were undevel
oped. In the United States, copper
was discovered in Massachusetts ar
early as 1632, and in 1709 a com
pany was incorporated in Connecti
cut for the purpose of working cop
per ores. The copper deposits of New
Jersey were exploited in 1719. The
copper mines of Vermont date from
the 18the century. These were the
principal sources of American copper
until the opening of the Lake Super
ior mines in 1844. Really important
copper mining in the United State.'
dates from 1844 with the opening of
a vein near Copper Harbor, in Ke
weenaw county, Michigan. In 1882
Montana produced its first copper.
The copper industry of Arizona was
started a decade later.

CLAY FOR BRICKMAKING.
Tha Wealth That Lines the Shores of
the Hudson River.
Magnificent and inspiring as the
secenery is along the towering banks
of the lordly Hudson, it isn't any
where near as much of n money ranker
as the iowTy bricks which are made
along the shores of that favored
stream. In the ten years past some
11,:190,110,000 bricks, valued at $00.
407.258, bnve been fashioned out of the
clay close to the water’s edge. These
bricks, if laid-fiat, would make a side
walk that would reach around the
world. And it is estimated that there
Is still enough clay left on the bunks
of the Hudson to make 1,200,000,000
bricks a year for the next fifty years.
This stratum of clay extends along
botlk sides of the Hudson from New
York to Cohoes, above Troy, and takes
in (en counties, one of them in New
Jersey. It is the greatest brickmaking
district in all the world. For a cen
tury ihe industry has thrived, and,
strangely enough, the method of manu
facture has changed hardly any in the
lapse of years.
it was in 1817 when the industry be
gan to thrive. Janies Woods, an Eng
lishman. had learned the trade of
hrh-kmnking in his native land and
was infracted to Haverstraw, up the
west hank of the river a few miles
from New York. The vast quantities
of line brick clay there and the nbnn
dance of wood for fuel appealed to
him. and he started the first, successful
brickyard In Rockland county. To
Woods is given the credit, l'or discover
ing that coal dust made a fine ingredi
ent for good bricks. He also invented
tempering, mixing and molding ma
chines. and these, lint little modified,
are used even In these times of new
appliances for all forms of the indus
try. -New York World.
A MEMORY OF RACHEL
The Great Actrese After a Night of
Triumph on the Stag*.
Lord Ulenesk gave me an account of
ids first meeting with ltncbel. He had
gone io Pattis for the first time as a
youifr. and for the first time his father
had taken him- to the Francois to sec
Roche' act. The entire audience had
been stirred to the wildest pitch of en
thusiasm and excitement. The next
morning early he had ridden to the
Bois with his father, and on the way
Ills rather had said, ‘'We will turn out
of he avenue a moment, down this
street: 1 want to show you the house of
the marvelous womnn we saw act last
night."
II was barely sunrise, and as they
pulled their horses up outside a high
wall inclosing a small villa they were
astonished to hear, proceeding from
within, what appeared to be the react
ing of the very scenes they had wit
nessed tile night before at. the theater,
but. spoken in dead tones, as if by a
somnambulist. Dismounting from their
horses, they entered the garden. There
they found Rachel, elad in loose gar
ments. dull eyed, with disheveled hair
and wan face, utterly void of all the
darning magnetism that a few hours
earlier hail tilled her frame.
To tlie questions of Lord Glencsk's
father she answered wearily that she
had been rehearsing there under the
frees since it was scarce day. trying in
vain to find menus of expressing cer
tain passages in which she had “failed
at the night's performance"—that per
formance which had so thrilled those
who witnessed it. marking an epoch in
their lives.—Princess Lar-nrovieb in
Century.
The Daughter’s Idea.
Mrs. llrown >vas in the habit of In

At last the girl protested. "It’s mean

am. t could have a lot better time if
you didn’t."
•Perhaps you could. But I don’t pro
pose to have jieople saying after you’ve
been out in society a couple of seasons:
’Don’t tell me Jane Brown is only
twenty. Why. she waa a grown girl
years ago.’"
“Just the same," retorted the daugh
