Part of his duty recently was to engago a number of workmen. In doing so ho astonished everybody by n radical departure from old-tlmo methods. After asking somo moro or less perfunctory questions regarding a candidate's ability as a miner he 'inquired: "Can you ploy tho flddlo or concertina? Do you danco or sing?" It was noticed that unless tho man could glvo nfllrmntlvo reply to nt least two ot these questions ho stood small chanco of getting work. Tho wisdom of Dr. Drummond's courso became apparent when it developed that nenr-ly nenr-ly all tho men ho engaged were good humored fellows whoso happy spirits kept tho mining camp In peace.
