After the fourth of March Senator Thurston says he will forever retire from public life. Mrs. Nation, the heroes of Wichita, will speak at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium Saturday evening, and if the law will permit she may do some smashing while in the city. Now that the Titus biennial election law is declared void the people of Iowa will have an election next fall; so political aspirants will bob up in every county for different offices. PECULIAR DONATION Mr. A. L. Church, one of the wealthiest colored men in the United States, of Memphis, Tenn. has given his check for $1,000 for the entertainment of the confederate G. A. R., which meets in that city very soon. Mr. Church was a slave and was emancipated a poor boy who had worked on the steam boat with his master, Capt. Church. To-day he owns some of the most valuable property in Memphis. He recently bought a block in the heart of the city and has beautified it into a park for colored people. TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Training School for Nurses. The increasing demand for colored trained nurses throughout the South, and the very excellent opportunities offered to those who are well prepared for this calling, have caused the writing of this letter. There is no field of usefulness more inviting to young women in the South than the profession of Nursing. Those who have finished our course in Nurse Training are doing excellent work, most of them are holding responsible positions in Southern hospitals, schools, and infirmaries, and receiving splendid salaries. Our course of training covers three years of theoretical and practical work in the Hospital. We have plenty of patients the whole year. We want colored trained nurses in every town and we ask your help in this effort. Will you please kindly give this letter to some young woman of good character between twenty and thirty years of age, who desires such training? We shall also be grateful if you will send us her name and have her write to us. For further information address, A. H. KEMMIBRUE. M. D.. Counting Years in Japan. Mr. B. Mayehatake, a young Japanese who has been studying in Chicago, gives an explanation of the method by which time is reckoned in the chrysanthemum land. The Japanese year begins on our January 1, but instead of counting from the birth of Christ a reckoning is, made from the reign of Japan's first emperor, Zimu. Our 1901 is the year 2561 in Japan. When a new ruler mounts the throne a distinctive name is given to his reign and a sort of petty calendar is kept of the years of his government, just as we keep track of the age of our republic, writing in legal documents: "Year of our Lord 1901, and of the independence of the United States the 125th." The name for the present mikado's rule, which began thirty-three years ago, is Meiji. This word is pronounced Mayee, and means "peaceful government." Therefore, the current year in Japan is Meiji 34 as well as Zimu 2561. Subscribe for the Bystander BYSTANDER. EMERALD MINES. They Were Lost for Centuries, but Have Been Recovered. What are known as the emerald mines of Cleopatra lie in the mountain range that extends for a long distance parallel to the Red sea and a few leagues west of its coast, in a latitude rather south of Eofu, on the Nile, says the Geographical Journal. This, like some other parts of the region—such as the porphyry quarries of Jebel Dokhan—was far better known than it is now, and more thickly people'd, about twenty centuries ago, and only during the present one, so far as we know, have isolated explorers at long intervals found their way into the treasure house of ancient Egypt. When its rulers first used the emerald for personal adornment is uncertain. Whether the large, clear stones which, according to ancient authorities, ornamented the Egyptian temples were really emeralds is a matter of dispute, but as this gem —owing to its regular shape, which is commonly a six-sided prism—and its beautiful tint stands less in need of the lapidary's art than many others, it probably formed part of the regalia of princes at a very early period. That it was known to the Romans is certain, and the mines now revisited used to send their treasures to the gem cutters of the capital. Ever since then the stone has been highly esteemed. These mines of the northern Ethal seem to have remained untouched since the decline and fall of Rome caused them to be deserted. According to Mr. MacAllister, the workings are only small passages, hardly more than burrows, excavated in the emerald-bearing cyst and sometimes extending for a long distance. Many scattered ruins may also be seen—dwellings, watch towers and tombs, besides those of fen settlements. In these, no doubt, the mining population used to live, and the difference in style suggest they were occupied for a long time. Some are mere hovels, very roughly built; others show a more careful construction, while a third group are well finished. Mr. MacAllister also found three rock-cut temples, for the soft stone lends itself to that kind of architecture. He thinks that their pillars, though very primitive in style, indicate Egyptian designs, with traces of Greek influence. One, indeed, contains a crumbling inscription in that language. Broken pottery, sometimes ornamented, is abundant, but there is no evidence that the neighborhood attracted visitors for any but business purposes. Notwithstanding this, there was in those times a settled instead of a nomad population, and travelers once must have been rather frequent, for in one place many drawings of persons, animals and tribal marks are scratched upon the rocks. Some of the figures evidently are much older than others, but as a whole they recall to memory the Sinaitic inscriptions which some forty years ago were believed to be memories of the wanderings of the Israelites. TRICK OF VOICE. know One Lawyer Keeps the Judge From Sleeping. There is said to be a lawyer in Philadelphia who possesses a trick of the voice to which a certain measure of his success in United States Supreme court practice is due. The trick consists in waking a judge. Whether it is a common practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to indulge in a nap in the course of a long and tedious argument, such happenings are not unknown, and it is well for an able logician of the bar to be prepared for it. The trick of waking a sleepy judge would seem to be something in the nature of slamming a law book under his nose or connecting his personality with the current of an electric battery. But the trick is explained as purely a matter of sound involved in the skillful control of the voice. It is said that a barrister practiced in the art and rhetoric of addressing the bench can gather all the waves of sound from his throat into a focus and deposit it in the orifice of the judge's ear with the general effect of a bomb. The trick, however it is accomplished, is said to have been worked repeatedly with success on the late Judge McKennan, whose habit of going to sleep on the bench was once a notorious subject of comment in the litigation over the Berliner telephone patients. This queer trick of the voice, while it is said to be the peculiar property of one celebrated lawyer, is probably attempted often with varying success by others—Fulfilladelphia Record. What a Girl Did: A girl named Ackerman, aged 14, daughter of an English laborer, has just completed her education. She has never missed being present since the school was opened, and in completing her 3,451 attendances is said to have walked 6,000 miles. She has passed every standard successfully and in the three subjects on first grade drawing obtained "excellent" prizes in freehand and model, as also in the three stages of the specific subjects, literature, domestic economy and animal physiology, and in one stage in physical geography. She has also obtained 26 other prizes for good attendance, sculpture, sewing, knitting, etc. THE Beckwith Cash Grocery Co., Is now carrying a complete line of staple and fancy groceries and are prepared to sell them at the very lowest prices. 2 cans Corn, 15c; Cabbage, 2 1/2c; 2 lbs.

Lewis, who was confined to his bed at the last writing, has recovered and is again at his post as head cook on the Rock Island dining car, from here to toilet, Ill. Mr. Ben Berry. one of our popular barbers, is on the sick list and has been absent from the barber shop for three or four days. Mr. and Mrs. H. McGaw of 920 Harrison street, are the happiest couple in the city. Just ask them what occurred on their 28th wedding anniversary. Mrs. Mamie Ballard, who has been sick nearly every since her trip home in Missouri, is able to be out again, which will be pleasing to her friend. Mr. Eddie McGaw, who has been absent from the city for four years, has returned—possibly to stay. He is at home with his parents at 920 Harrison street. What is the matter with J. L. T? We scarcely hear from him since he married, Let us hear from you J. L. Revival meeting has closed at the Third Baptist church, but they were not fortunate enough to make any additions to the church. Mrs. A. O. Wilson (white) has wrote a book entitled "The White Man's Chances" and has dedicated it to the colored people of Davenport. Mrs. Wilson is a great christian woman, and believes God created all races alike. It is certainly a great book, and every colored person should purchase one. J. T. Mabry was possibly the first colored man to buy a copy. We had one of the greatest snow storms Sunday that has been here for years and every body who has a sleigh is enjoying themselves as they have not for some time. Rev. Wm. Bates of Springfield, Ill., who was here assisting Rev. Burton in the revival at the Third Baptist church, has gone to Streator, Ill. Rev. Bates made quite a number of friends here and also made quite an impression on the public in general. Davenport would be glad to see the name and address, in next week's issue, of every agent and correspondent of the Bystander. There was a reception tendered Mrs Ruth Richardson by some of her many friends Monday night. We could not learn the details, hence we can't say just what the nature of it was. Berry Warwick was on the sick list last week and was unable to attend school. CLINTON ITEMS Rev. P. P. Taylor arrived Monday for a visit with his family. The biggest snow of the season fell on Sunday. Presiding Elder Bundy stopped over in Clinton Monday. Owing to the inclement weather the quaterly meeting was postponed for two weeks. Little Hazel Clay who has been ill for the past few days, We are pleased to note is better. Mrs. Wm. Allen is convalescent from her illness, which is welcome news to her many friends. A. A. Bush has been appointed Quarter Master Sergeant of Gen. M. M.'Crocker camp Sons of Veterans. Maharas' Minstrel gave a very creditable performance on Thursday evening to a good sized audience. CEDAR RAPIDS BUDGETARIAN. Sunday reminded us of Whittier's poem, "Snow Round," as it stormed so much that church services hrd to be entirely abandoned in the evening, causing much disappointment to our people as it was quarterly meeting. Rev Bundy was present and he and the postor saw fit to postpond the quarterly meeting until the 17 inst. We have been informed that the District Conference and S. S. convention will be held in the "Rapids" the latter part of May, and we can safely say that Cedar Rapids will entertain the visitors royally. --- No.34.

Revival meetings are being carried on at the A. M. E. church this week. Mr Monroe Davis went to Hocking on Sunday to assist in taking care of Mr. J. Poston who has been very sick. A large snow storm visited our town Sunday; it is about two feet deep. A MILE A MINUTE. high Speed by a Trolley Car in Phillas delubile. In whatever other respects Philadelphia may be slow she has a trolley car which sweeps through the city in the gray hours of dawn and which, taken day by day, is swiffer than anything else of its kind or class in the world, says the New York Sun. It starts from the heart of the city just after the newspapers are out of press and tears away through the silent streets in a northerly and westerly direction, up and down hill and along valleys, with occasional stops to throw out bundles until twenty-seven minutes later it rests on the northern summit of Chestnut hill, fourteen and three-quarter miles away. This is at the average rate of thirty-five miles an hour, including at least one stop every three-fourths of a mile. Sometimes on its route it has run a mile in a minute and an eighth and it has made the distance in twenty-five minutes, including the stops, which is just the schedule time of the steam express trains for practically the same distance between the same places, though on neither the Reading nor the Pennsylvania railways do the trains make any stops. Sometimes, as on market day, there are interruptions, when sleepy teams get on the lines of metals, and occasionally another trolley car gets behind time and doesn't give it the right of way promptly, but despite the occasional delays, for two years, in all conditions of weather, facing rain or snow, with mechanical incidents adverse to its career, it has made on an average thirty-five trips out of thirty-five on time and only once it has longer than forty-five minutes in covering the distance. On that occasion the wreck of a hay wagon was on the road and for this the Eagle Flight trolley was not responsible. From the fact that this car carries the morning newspapers for distribution it might be thought to be a journalistic enterprise in Philadelphia, but this is not the case. It is an experiment by the Union Traction company to test the maintenance of high speed and the evenness of schedule time under conditions peculiarly favorable for securing exact factors for all the problems it is sought to solve. Every trip is observed by electrical experts, the induction is estimated, the power measured, the state of the metal, the thermometrical and barometrical conditions noted as well as the humidity and fog at the different elevations along the line, and when 1,000 trips have been made the data thus gathered will be considered with a view of formulating a result to be applied in such directions of economy and accelerated speeds as may be opened up.

Des Moines. Feb. 2.—The suprem court handed down an opinion in the ‘Titus ainendment case yesterday holding that the amendment is in valid because of the failure to recor’ it in full in the journal of the house of the Twenty-seventh general as sembly. ‘Owing to this slight technical error the people of Iowa cannot have bien- nial elections for at least four years, in spite of the fact that an amend- ment to the constitution to, secure them passed by an overwhelming ma- jority in November. ‘The supreme court follows the de- cision in the case of Koehler ¥s. Tange, holding that the issue was clearly raised then ana that in it, the prohibitory amendment case, it was held that an amendment must be reeorded in full in the journals of both houses. ‘Owing to this conclusion the ques- tion of the interpretation of the amendment is not considered. “The conclusion, therefore, | ex: pressed by this court in the Koehler case is not dictum, but is decision,” concludes the court, “and we must tither follow it or bverrule it, We consider that inasmuch as it involves the vonstruction, of our own consti- tution und has been recognized for many years as making definite and tertain the method to be pursued in amending the constitution, it should he followed. And in conclusion, with reference to that, ease, we consider that it is not for us to determine that of the two questions involved, relating to the method of amending the constitution, one only was: re- garded as deeided, while “she other was simply discussed. ‘The conelus- ion of the court as to either one of these two questions would have de- termined the case, and one con clusion is as binding pon us as the other. “Therefore, following the decision of the court in the Koeller ease, we hold that the proposed amendment not having been entered upon the journal of the house of the Twenty- Seventh general: assembly was nev proposed and adopted as required by our constitution and has not become a part thereof. “This conclusion makes it unneees- sury to discuss the interpretation of the language of the amentment, znd leads to the result that relator is en: Titled to the'oflice which he elaims.” ‘The case is entitled Slate of Tows ex rel) Marsh W.

So near was the train to the fire that the heat was insufferable—the faces of the men wore almost skinned. “Warm work, my hearties, this!” the stranger sald, almost cheerfully, as he beat the hot alr slowly with way- Ing hands, and pressed his face closer to the scorched visages on the engine “You get off this engine, mister!” furlously began the driver. “I'll brain any man who tries to boss—" ‘The wrathful words ended in a sud- den sigh, and the driver's arms fell softly at his sides as the iavader of the engiue turned to the stoker, a power- fully built man, “You heard what my mate said, didn’t yer?” struck in the man. “You git off, or 'l—I'll—" There was the same singular collapse, the came lamb-like attitude, Both grimy men stood motionless and meck facing the intruder, “Just 50,” observed tho last equably. ‘Then, leaning over, his strident voice ‘clanged harshly along the snow shod: | “Every soul aboard? Keep all win- dows and doors fast for your lives!” “What Is it, Gervis? Are we safe yet?" faintly whispered Gladdy. The girl, who had only seemed to shake off her curious attack of insensibility within the last few minutes, was star- ‘Ing vaguely round the car, She wondered Idly why most of the women were on thelr knees, and why the little children were clasped sc frantically to their mothers. Surely the tiny creatures would be smothered in such embraces. And why was Gervis, her husband. breathing In that curiously labored fashion, as if he had been running hard? Then she became aware, as he laid his cheeks against ‘her own, that his face was wet and cold, clammy per- spiration, “Gervis!" she cried, a vague alarm awakening her at last, ‘speak to me!” “Can't you pray, Gladdy?” whispered Gervis, and the clasp of his arms tight- ened round his wife, “Pray, Gervis? What do you mean?” wonderingly said Gladdy, And Gervis drew his brows together, And yet was it not better that she should know, poor little Gladdy in her newly wedded happiness? Outside the cars, now tightly closed, the meu on the engine, who were golnz to fight the flames doggedly. were grimly and rapidly making ready. ‘The heat had become Intolerable, and redly glowing sparks were shower- ing down the blazing roof. The peril was already so deadly that there was no choice, A dash for dear lifo must be made! Suddenly a great tongue of flame darted along the roof with a hissing sound, The haggard, white faces in the cars could distingaish every tim- ber In the shed’s wooden walls in the new glare, The fire was gaining with a deadly sureness, “Quick, men! We are taking our lives in our hands! Here, reach me that bale of waterproofing! We must divide it between us to cover as much of our persons as we can!” It was a sharp, vibrating voice, with ‘a note of command, that hastily or- dered. ‘Then came the hoarse order for which the cowed enginemen were meekly waiting, “Ready? Then go! Top speed!” ‘The long train, with Its large cars, creaked and groaned; the tongues of flame darted upward hissingly; the burning rafters crackled and snapped; the smoke rolled along in heavy clouds that cioked all who rode on the ill. fated train. “God in His mercy, help us! We're om” The train was cutting its way through the shect of flame that had walled it in, -— CHAPTER Iv. It was over—this ?aring venture— ja) eee ee Tt was over—this daring venture— and over safely! Outside In the open, In the clear so'd air of the starless night, the long train drew up under the eoftly falling flakes of feathery snow. Half-paralyzed men and taint'ng women in the cars knew they were safe, and there was a brief hush, while sobbing thankagivings broke from lips rush to examine the cars, which had Providentially, not caught fire, “So far as we know, wo are all saved,” was the thankful chorus that went round, as the passengers stood about on the snow stamping their feet “How on earth did we get our here, mate?” was the hoarse whisper from one of the blackened, smoked figures wrapped in waterproof on the en- gine, “T don't know!” was the answer, “! thought we was bound to mast in the fire, but bere wo are! Beats all!” “That's 60; but we're safe; that’s good enough for me, anyhow!” “The sooner you people get aboard the cars again the better.” It was a courteous, almost concilla- tory voice, but it was the same that a short time before bad given the word of command that saved the trainful of human beings, Instantly the speaker was surrounded and a torrent of thanks assailed his cars, “Pray, don’t overwhelm me!" He raised his long, lean hands deprecat- ingly. “What have I done? Merely suggested a way out of the difficulty.” But his modesty was overruled. The overwrought passengors found an out- let for their agitation in demanding the name of their preserver, in order, they said, “to add it to our prayers, and teach it to our little ones,” “My name is Paul Ansdell,” politely sald the stranger. Then he added hur- riedly, as if to choke off any further questions: “I am a scientist by pro- fession, and am at present traveling for material regarding a subject sug- gested by the society to which I have the honor to belong. I hope I have explained to your satisfaction, ladies and gentlemen.” Under the courteous tones there was & distinct clement of mockery, which served to chill the warm gratitude of the passengers. In twos and threes they dispersed, some to get aboard the train into the shelter and comfort and warmth; others to stand in the snow and watch with awe the roaring flames now mercifully behind them, “The weather tonight is so dry-cold, even for the time o’ year, that the firo has get a firm hold. The whole shed's doorned,” said the guard. “It’s bin a wonderful deliverance from an awful death, gentlemen. We've need to thank God on our knees.” ‘The man looked round on the groups huddled together on the snow, which the roaring fire lighted up arouad them, And, indeed, the delivewed passen- gers were, each in his or her own way, thanking God. Here @ young mother, her soft arms round a little child, knelt in the snow murmuring. Near her a clergyman was, with lips rapidly moving, thank- ing God for his safety. Here, again, an iron gray-halred man stood bowed for a few seconds to of- fer up his thanks for the frail invalid wife, the love of his youth, whom he had just lifted back into the car. It was indeed a solenin sight, the little thanksgiving service cut on the snowy plains, upon which the grim mountains frowned down through the small, dry flakes of falling snow. “Now it strikes me wo should do well to be getting ahead. The nigit is upon us, and I can tell you it will take us all we can to stand the colds of midnight and early morning.” It was the voice of Paul Ansdel!l that “broke the spell. He was standing w.th arms folded on the rear platform of the cars, looking down with half-shut eyes upon the reverently bowed heads of his fellow travelers. No meaning for him had this communing with the Divine Creator, who hai stretched out a helping hand in the grave peril, Had any ery broken from his lips to ascend on high it would have been the exceeding bitter one of the Psalmist: “Lord, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?” But it was many a year since this man had abandoned prayer. He was not an unbelievor in one sense, for no man knew better than Paul Ansdell that there exists an over-ruling Power, who moves and shapes humanity at His will. Otherwise it would have been the worse for his fellow men, seeing that Paul Ansdell held certa‘n {gotten secrets that would have en- dowed himself with an ilimitable do- minion over the lives and the fortunes of others. But as it was he gnashed his teeth over the checkmates that blocked his wicked way and protected his victims. So far the man had faith in his larger and bolder flights. The two aims he lived for were to win a colossal fortune, and to preserve his fe as long as possible. To die, to crumble into dust, was to him a hideous prospect, and he had no other —his creed forbade all such. To save himscif more than his companions he had put forth his utmost strength of will, He had succeeded strangely, even marvelously. Paul Ansdell smiled contentedly as he leaned, tle shrinking figure’ behind’ Cervis, ‘Then his eyes turned away to the flame-reddenod snow, “Come, Gladdy, this is the hero of the hour, Haven’t you a word to give him?” Gladdy must have heard her hue Dand’s urgent whisper, and yet she spoko not a syllable, Silently: and wist- fully the girlish bride was gazing’ up into the dark face of Paul Ansdell, It was as though her soul was dumbly questioning that of the man who had saved her life, “Dear, say something!" In the low- ered voice of Gervis there was a per- emptory note. He was annoyed at his wife's extraordinary awkwardness as much as he was puzzled. What could the man think of her? The thought crossed his mind as he took Gladdy's cold, small fingers in his to encour- age her. But Paul's attention as well as Paul's eyes were being given to the outside world. “I fear we're going to have a night of it, perhaps another chapter of ac- cidents—who knows?—for the snow will be tremendously deep at certain curves I know of ahead,” he sald. And, under cover of his words, Gladdy drew her hand from that of her hus- band, and slipped back into the draw- ing-room car. She was the only one of the passengers who had failed to offer thanks to the rescuer of the train, The cars were moving off on their Journey once again, and the men were chatting to one another. eee “Not so bad for the first. move in the game!"’ The triumphant words whisperingly from the lips of Paul Ansdell as he sat alone in the smoking compartment, leaning back in hls chalr, his dark, baleful eyes watching the smoke wreaths lazily rising over his head.

And presently the two men, wrapped up to the eyes, were tramping over the shining, snowy expanso beyond the lit- tle station, “Are you going to make any stay at Montreal?” asked Paul carelessly, “Not over a few days, to see the place,” was the answer. “I am taking my wife to England to spond Christ- mas in the old home, so our time {s Umited. Otherwise there’s nothing I should like better than to winter in the Dominion, It's a glorious land, and Gladdy, my wife, would have rev- eled in the ice carnival and all the ather delights of a Montreal winter. But it can't be helpted. My people are eager to see and know her. We have not been long married, you see,” he added, a little lamely. “I know,” curtly said Paul Anedell “1 was in 'Friseo when your wedding took place: and I knew old Hiram Fairweather, your wife's father—per- sonally, | mean.

Thousands of night workers will testify that eight hours of sleep from 10 to 6 is worth ten hours taken after retiring at 6 o'clock in the morning. Darkness is the proper time for the sleep that does the most good. It is not well to sleep in a room in which plants are growing. Their food is carbonic acid gas. If they can live there the room is a bad place for you to sleep in. Besides, plants use up a good deal of oxygen and give off effluva and pollen irritating to the human system. The soundest sleep is during the first three or four hours after going to bed. This has been ascertained by scientific experiment, though most people think they sleep soundest just before the time when conscience tells them to get up. Insomnia often comes from overeating. A little dieting may do more good than a lot of doctors' prescriptions. More persons suffer from overeating than from overworking. Long, deep breath kept up as long as possible by will power is the most generally recommended remedy for occasional sleeplessness. The main aim in such cases is to keep the mind from thinking. This is sometimes accomplished by the strain of keeping the eye fixed on some point in the ceiling or keeping the will fixed on the effort not to move even the smallest muscle. Monotony will put any man to sleep in spite of himself. Most psychologists acknowledge that deep study of any subject just before going to sleep may result in something like a revelation as to some phase of the subject, the mind through unconscious cerebration accomplishing wonders without the assistance of the will. Passages to be memorized should be repeated several times before going to bed. Sometimes the sleeplessness of children is owing to excitation of the digestive organs. In that case it is a good plan to allow only vegetable foods at the evening meal. LIVING EXPENSES Prevailons Are Cheaper Now Then They Were Titty Years Ago. The interesting disclosure is made that the cost of living is less in the United States today than it was in the 1860. Carefully compiled statistics show that articles cost $100 then cost $15 now. It is true that a few things are more expensive, but commodities consumed generally by families, such as breadstuffs, sugar, rice, salt, woolen and cotton goods, boots and shoes, and silk and rubber goods, are considerably cheaper now than they were thirty years ago. All manufactured goods, with hardly an exception, are cheaper, mainly because of improved processes of manufacture which enable the maker to reduce the cost to the lowest point, says Leslie's Weekly. The development of our vast arable territory in the west, northwest and southwest, and the striking results of irrigation, when applied to what were formerly considered desert lands, have increased our crop supplies more rapidly than the increase of population. Despite the dire predictions that prices of wheat, corn and cotton must inertibly advance because little land remained to be cultivated in the west and south, the fact is that millions of acres are still awaiting tillage. In Texas alone an area almost as extensive as that of the original thirteen states is virgin soil. The emigrant may have to go farther and work harder to establish a homestead in the United States, but Uncle Sam is still rich enough to give every able-bodied, industrious newcomer a chance to own a farm. Here's a Worried Citizen This is an age of hustle, bustle and sweat. A man husties from early dawn until the katyldies sing in the twilight for three meals a day and a place in which to lie awake at night and worry about it. If he doesn't overwork he is called lazy, and if he does overwork he goes crazy. He toils and saves through the days of his youth so that when he grows old he can wear a silk hat and sit on the knee of luxury, but when his hair turns to snow and his whiskers grow thin and gray in life's late afternoon, he finds he has been victimized and grievously bunked by his own calculations, and that rheumatism and poor relations have shattered all his dreams and punctured his long hopes.—Dallas City (ill.) Review. Making of Watch Glasses Watch glasses ought not to be expensive, and are not. In the production of common watch glasses, the glass is blown into a sphere about a meter in diameter, sufficient material being taken to give the desired thickness, as the case may be. Disks are then cut out from the sphere with the aid of a pair of compasses, having a diamond at the extremity of one leg. There is a knack of detaching the disc after it has been cut. A good workman will, it is said, cut 6,000 glasses in a day. Had Handled $50,000,000 A remarkable record was that which had been gained by the late John Lancombe, for 33 years cashier of the government printing office at Washington and an employee of the institution in some capacity since its establishment.

Variations in children's gowns blossom out from time to time, even though they are very slight, and small girls rival their mothers in their ambition to keep up to date. Soft wool materials make up very prettily in this way. In figured French flannel the collar may be made of the same and trimmed with rows of narrow braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the small gowns are usually plain, but the older girls have some sort of trimming, either tucks, stitched bands, ruffles or velvet folds, stitched on. The long-waisted mode, in which the waist line rounds down low in front, is conspicuously evident among the gowns for girls over 10 years of age, and the small gowns for dainty little girls of 6 imitate this fashion as much as possible by having the long waist all around. Guimpe dresses, which never seem to go out of style, are suitable for all ages, from 6 to the more mature years of middle age. Bolero jackets are very popular, in the kingdom of small costumes, and the attempt to produce the effect of stole ends is seen in one little gown, where narrow lace reverses are carried down the entire length of the front, as shown in the illustration. Another pretty effect is made by two box plaits in front, one at either side from the yoke to the hem, and two in the back, giving a long effect to the waist, which is defined with a narrow velvet belt ending in small velvet rosettes at either side of the front on the plaits. The skirt gathers on to the waist between the plaits, which apparently are a continuation of those in the waist. A sailor collar of lace covers the shoulders in the back and opens in front over a roke of tucked white silk or batiste. Thin gowns of point d'esprit for party wear are variously trimmed with ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feature of the small girl's costume is the coat and hat to match—New York Sun.

DOGS WEAR SHOES. Alaskan animals hold Up Feet to Have Shoes Fat Fq. In Alaska shoes for dogs have been introduced. The use of shoes for animals in the far north country is not merely out of kindness to the dogs. It is a matter of necessity, for one of the greatest dangers to travelers in Alaska is that the dogs which draw sledges or transport goods freeze their feet by contact with the ice. This sometimes renders the animals practically useless and leaves the traveler without means of transit over the fields of ice. Before the introduction of the shoes it was the custom to wrap the feet of the dogs in cloth, but this was a poor measure at best, as the cloths often came off, leaving the poor beasts unprotected. The cloths also interfered with the free locomotion of the dogs. Since the gold fields opened more dogs have been used and great speed in travel has become necessary. The dog's shoe was invented to meet the requirements. The lacings are at the back to give free play to the dog's legs. The wonderful intelligence of these faithful animals is shown by their readiness in taking to the shoes. They become so accustomed to them that they are uneasy without them. On the trail the dogs have frequently been known to come to the driver in the morning and hold out their legs to have their shoes put on. If the shoes happen to be laced too tight, they will whine and make their discomfort manifest, wagging their tails for joy when the laces are fixed to their liking. A Newaboy Evangelist St. Louis has a newsboy evangelist. His name is Earl Jamison and he is 11 years old. Several weeks ago young Earl went to one of his neighbors and asked him if he could not use his barn for religious services. His request was granted and every evening since meetings have been held by the young evangelist, except on Sunday nights. Earl does the preaching and praying and leads the singing. His service continues about an hour and he generally has a fair-sized congregation. Those who attend, both young and old, are impressed by the fervor of the youthful preacher. Earl is a sturdily built little fellow, with light hair and frank, fearless manner. His serious men is like that of a white-haired judge. He is a good talker and can quote the scriptures freely. He has collected money during his evangelistic career for the famine-stricken people of India. Honored as an Essayist. Carolyn King, daughter of General Charles King, has been accorded an unusual honor. Miss King finished her course at the Sorbonne in June, and then entered for competition in the Alliance Francaise, which meets every summer and confers its diplomas on such foreigners as can pass its rigid examinations after attending lectures and submitting essays on several of the standard authors and dramatists. Mollere, Racine, Corneille, La Rochefoucauld, and J. Rousseau were assigned to Miss King, and it was her essay on Corneille which was given first place unanimously by the judgea PRACTICAL ADVICE. A stitch in time saves nine. Never let a child sit itself to sleep. An egg beaten up in milk is a good pick-me-up. Sponge black silk with spirits to revive it. Soot covered with salt is easily brushed up. If broken wash the bruise and apply vaseline. Apply arnica to a bruise if the skin is unbroken. A hot bath taken at night aff.rds refreshing sleep. Lemons stowed separately in dry sand keep fresh. Dry hair turns gray sooner than moist tresses do. If your clothes catch fire instantly roll on the floor.

D. del H. McMillan The birthplace of Col. D. H. McMillan, the new Ileutenant governor of Manitoba, was in the county of Ontario, near the town of Whitby, in the Province of Ontario. The years of his boyhood and early manhood, however, were spent in the town of Collingwood. He received his education in the public schools and the collegiate institute of that town and in the city of Toronto. His early ambitions were largely towards military life; and it was his cherished desire to enter the British army. He took a course of training in the military schools of Toronto, where he was eminently successful, obtaining first class certificates in both the infantry and the cavalry schools. He was identified with military organizations in Ontario for a number of years, and served there during the Fenian raids at Nisgara in 1864, and at Port Colborne in March and Fort Erie in June, 1866. In 1870 he was selected for the position of captain in the first Red River expedition under Colonel Wollseley. The young captain remained in Winnipeg with the force for a year, and returned to Ontario in the summer of 1871. Coming to Manitoba again in 1874, Mr. McMillan engaged in Winnipeg in the milling and grain business, with which he remained connected from 1875 until three or four years ago. He built, in the first flour mill ever erected in the province; and, in the following year, exported to Napolis the first shipment, as a commercial transaction, of Manitoba's wheat. He did not, meanwhile, lose his interest in military matters, but was ready for active service whenever troops were required. He was major of the Ninetieth Battalion until just before the Northwest rebellion in 1885, when he resigned, intending to give up military affairs; but when the trouble broke out, the old martial spirit was revived, and he organized, along with Col. Scott, the Ninety-fifth Battalion, and went with that force to the Northwest. He was then senior major, but was afterwards in command of the battallion. -Montreal Herald and Star. Pneumonia Can be Prevented. This disease always results from a cold or an attack of the grip and may be prevented by the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. That remedy was extensively used during the epidemics of La Gripe of the past few years, and not a single case has been reported that did not recover or that resulted in pneumonia, which shows it to be a certain preventive of that dangerous diseases. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has gained a world wide reputation for its cures of colds and grip. For sale by all Druggists. CAUSES SURPRISE. Connecticut Man Declares His Assessment In New York Law ment Is Much Too Low. Robert M. Bruce, one of the millionaires of Greenwich, Conn., a former cotton broker and a friend of E. C. Benedict, has caused surprise by appearing before the board of assessors of the town and asking them to have his assessment raised 50 per cent, says the New York Sun. He said that he had never paid any attention to the making out of his list of taxable property, leaving it with the assessors. He had looked the matter up recently and had decided that he was not paying all that he should into the town treasury and he asked for the raise. The assessors promised to comply with his wishes and it is understood that they will raise the taxes of all other millionaires there to some extent. Mr. Bruce's example is the subject of much comment. For many years past Greenwich has raised $30,000 more than it raised. The debt has rolled up to nearly $140,000. The town appointed an investigating committee and the members reported that more money must be raised by taxation. Fixing up the taxes but fall was put over until next spring. The assessors figured up the amount of taxable property and an increase of the tax rate seemed probable. Persons who have looked up the matter say that there appears to be one law for the poor man and another for the rich man. The law says that each property owner must put in a true list of the real value of all property, real and personal, but the general rule among persons of moderate means has been to pay on 10 per cent of the value. The millionaires in some instances have not paid on 10 per cent of the property.

Each one stood evenly within the circle of his own clear-cut shadow on the ground, at that moment of the moon's transit, and the bore was due; but it was a calm night, and it was three-quarters of an hour after our unaccustomed ears had caught the first far-distant, muttering undertone before the white thing was seen, a ghastly line advancing as evenly over the water, and as quickly, as the dark shadow of an eclipse sweeps over a landscape. Nearer and nearer it roared, growing greater and whiter, until we could see the whole cascading, bubbling, frothing front, with spray-drops showering from the crest higher up in the moonlight. With the roar of awful waters the dread thing came on, raising its white crest higher and higher as it licked the edges of the piles beyond which the junks lay. There were shouts and yells, and the usual boatmen's pandemonium let loose on the junks as the roaring wave approached. A rocket sizzed, some fire-crackers sputtered and gongs resounded, but all small sound of earth's creatures were drowned as the fearful white thing crashed past, and a frightful blasting, a seething, lashing and swirling of still higher billows succeeded—the most sinister sound of water ever heard—al speeding, rushing, whirling madly, irresistibly on. As the ten-foot wall of foam reached the edge of the piling and the junk platform, it floated the junk loose at the instant. Each junk rode to the flood's fury bow on, and continued to rise, to lift itself bodily up, up, along the sea wall before one's fascinated gaze. In the fierce after-rush, the water went swifter and more swiftly by, until one had a dizzying sense of danger to come, but past fleeing from. Something held one fascinated to the spot, although in the fewest minutes, barely a quarter of an hour, two-thirds of the whole body and mass of the flood-tide had flung itself against the wall, and, it seemed, might continue to rise with the same force for hours. A salt, fresh smell of the sea, the breath of the ocean's coolest, deepest underworld, came in with the awful tide. A ghastly mist succeeded. Shreds of vapor scudded over the triniphant moon, and the sea's curtain fell on one of the most sensational, spectacular performances the Pacific ocean d the moon ever make together. OOM PAUL'S HUMOR. How He Fooled a Lobbyist at a Hotel Many years ago, when President Kruger was in England, he was approached concerning some concession, railway or otherwise, by a business man here in London. The negotiations lasted for some time. One evening at the Londoner, who was staying at the same hotel, having spent many hours with Mr. Kruger and his companion, went to bed much exhausted, and feeling he had not got quite all he wanted. Next morning he arose at 9 and went along the corridor to Mr. Kruger's bedroom. To his astonishment it was empty and all the luggage was gone. "Oh, sir," said the chambermaid, "Mr. Kruger and his friend left at 6 this morning." Then, with a giggle of amused reminiscence, the girl added: "They was a queer couple, sir, and no mistake. When 'e passed your door, sir, Mr. Kruger, 'e started dancy' right outside your door, sir, 'e and his friend. They didn't know as any one saw them, sir, but Bessie and I see them, unbeknown, from the top of the stairs. Then they went downstairs, sir, fairly splittin' their sides with laughin', though they didn't say a word."—London Daily News. A New Idea in Rat Traps A rat and mouse trap which has been patented in all the countries throughout the civilized world issuing patents, the invention of Heinrich Benserel, of Beinrnode, Germany, is really an ingenious arrangement, as the animal never gets a chance even to nibble at the bait, and when it once gets into the trap it is automatically locked there without a possible chance of escape. A modified form of this bottle-shaped trap, however, is employed for catching rats and vermin in the house. The small end of the field trap is inserted in the mouse hole, the tubular passageway forming a continuation of the underground passages. The animal in trying to get the bait naturally enters the hole and is thus induced to enter the tubular passage from which it cannot escape. A Bad In Entertaining. An ingenious woman in Cincinnati has inaugurated a "luncheon day." She has sent out cards to her most intimate friends reading "Tuesdays in April. Luncheon from 1 till 3 p. m." The table is to be set with extra places, and at 1 o'clock the hostess will take her seat with those who may be present. As friends drop in they will go directly to the dining-room, and, after greeting the hostess, will sit where they please at table. The affairs promise to be delightfully informal. The menu will never be elaborate, and those who have had the good fortune to receive cards will not fall to drop in between the hours named, for they are doubly sure of congen al company. Sleep Protects Them A medical paper says that in railway collisions nearly all the passengers who are asleep escape the bad effects of shaking and concussion, nature's own anaesthetic preserving them. Honor to When Hester Is Done The railroads have been greatly abused as soulless corporations that were grinding the life blood out of the people. The great Galveston disaster has, however, revealed the fact that the managers of these corporations have hearts which are susceptible of being touched by the cries of distress. Their trains were placed at the disposal of all those engaged in relief work on the coast. Provisions and supplies were carried forward free of charge, committees from every section of the state were furnished transportation, and when the refugees from Galveston began to pour into Houston and it became a serious question what was to be done with them the railroads solved the problem by furnishing transportation without charge to all who wished to leave and to any point they wished to go. Grand Master Anderson informs us that but for this fact Houston would have been overrun with people who had to be cared for, and that suffering and distress would have been largely increased as well as the cost of meeting conditions which would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson desires us, through these columns, to thank the different roads for the great service rendered his committee at Houston. If it were possible we would be glad to see parallel columns, in one of which should appear the acts of these railroad corporations in a time of great calamity and distress, and in the other the amount contributed by the little two-by-four demagogues who are always trying to array the prejudices of the masses against any and every kind of enterprise.—From the Texas Odd Fellow.

CONSUMPTION Lincoln's Early Life Lincoln's Early Life BIRTH PLACE STUDYING BEFORE OPEN FIREPLACE. Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin county, Ky., on Feb. 12, 1800. He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln and descended from Samuel Lincoln of Norwich, England, who emigrated to Hingham, Mass., in 1638. Some of the descendants moved to what is now Berks county, Pa., and subsequently to Virginia. Abchram L. Lincoln, father of Thomas, followed Daniel Boone to Kentucky, where he was killed by the Indians while clearing his farm in Jefferson county. Thomas Lincoln was shiftless. He subsisted in a precarious by doing odd jobs of carpentry; but he married Nancy Hanks and took her to a wretched cabin in Hardin county and tried to make a living at farming. In this novel the future president was born, and came up at haphazard until he was seven years old. By walking four miles to school he contrived to get a very little of such rudimentary education as the backwoods afforded; but his schooling did not include more than a year of desultory instruction, and he had no home encouragement. At this formative period, Lincoln owed nothing to home training or home atmosphere. His father was a shiftless creature with very ordinary intellectual gifts, and his mother, a frail woman, was broken by the ceaseless and hopeless struggle to keep body and soul together. In 1816 Thomas Lincoln pulled up stakes and started with his family and meager household effects for Ohio. He brought up in Posey county, Ind., sold his boat and took up land in the wilderness of Perry county. Here the wife gave up the unequal struggle and dled. Abraham was nine years old and was left without any care whatever. He was neglected, ill-clad and cuffed about when he got in his father's way. The elder Lincoln was not consciously brutal, but he was impatient and unregardless of the boy's interests. A more forlorn childhood, or one less likely to develop the qualities which Lincoln displayed in after life, it would be hard to imagine. But in the midst of this depressing life, the lad was giving himself the moral training for which he became so conspicuous. Within himself he was building a strong and solid foundation of moral character. He became what was called a "serious boy." This seriousness gave him an air of maturity and was quite as much the cause as the effect of his pondering upon such grave problems of life as his undeveloped mind could grasp. His education was limited, but he was of a studious turn, and pored over the few books which fell in his way. When Abraham was about twelve years old a new element entered into his life. His father took for a second wife a woman with whom it is said he was in love before he married Nancy Hanks. This woman had energy and soon wrought a revolution in the domestic economy of the Lincoln. She cleaned and clothed Abraham and his sister, and better still, took a real ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND SCENES OF HIS 'EARLY LIFE. (From Portrait. Taken in 1858.) motherly interest in them. She was especially fond of the boy, and seemed to discern in him qualities above the average. Probably she pitied the forlornness of the silent, awkward lad. At all events she was kind to him and won the heart unused to kindness. She encouraged him in his studies and gave him the warmth of sympathy which expanded his nature and for the first time made him feel that he was a human being and that somebody shared his hopes and aspirations. Lincoln always retained a loving remembrance of this woman, and in after life he referred to her as "saintly." Abraham grew with amazing rapidity, and before his seventeenth birthday was a strapping lad six feet four inches tall. He was strong and sinewy, with enormous hands and feet. He was described as having "disproportionate length of legs and arms, and over all a rather small head; his skin was yellow and shriveled, and his complexion swarthy. He wore coarse, home made clothes, and a coonskin cap; his trousers, owing to his rapid growth were nearly a foot too short." He attended school irregularly until he was 17 years old. At that age he quit school for good and all, but his studious habits remained with him and to them he owed an education self-acquired. After leaving school Lincoln earned money by working at odd jobs, and at the same time acquired a more or less deserved name for laziness. But what boy that had spindled up to six feet four inches in seventeen years would not be lazy at times? Even at that time he was noted for his propensities for story telling. He did not love work perhaps, but he loved reading and study. "He would lie under a tree or in the loft of the house, and at night sit in the firelight to read, cipher and scribble on the wooden fire shovel." He read everything he could get hold of. He had a retentive memory and a taste for speaking in public. He familiarized himself with grammar by the study of a borrowed book, and his first dip into the law was through reading the statutes of Indiana borrowed from a constable. The year he was 16 years old he worked on a ferry boat on the Ohio river for $6 a month. A couple of years later he went down the Ohio and Mississippi as first mate of a flat boat. This trip gave him some knowledge of the outside world and awakened in him a desire to do something for himself. But the Lincolnns had remained in Indiana as long as the restless Thomas could stand it, so in 1830 the family migrated to Illinois, settling at a point near Decatur. Shortly after arriving at the destination, young Lincoln came of age and launched out for himself. In 1832 he went into the Black Hawk war in a company enlisted at Sangamon. He served with credit, but without particular distinction, and ever afterward was disposed to speak jestingly of his military experience. Young Lincoln established considerable popularity soon after reaching his majority. His physical strength, quaint humor and inimitable stories appealed to the Westerners, and in 1832 he was a candidate for the state assembly. But he was not elected. His platform was straight Whig doctrine. To quote his own words in declaring himself a candidate: "I presume you all know who I am; I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance. I am in favor of a national bank; I am in favor of internal improvement and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles. If elected I shall be thankful; if not, it will be all the same." SCHOOL HOUSE SPLITTING RAILS Having been defeated in his canvass Lincoln embarked in a disastrous mercantile enterprise at New Salem with one Thomas Berry. His partner fleed and Lincoln assumed the debts of the firm, the last of which he paid off in 1839. In 1833 he was appointed postmaster at Salem, and served three years. The salary was almost nothing. The mails came but once a week and as Lincoln could not afford to hire a room he carried the letters around in his hat and delivered them. In 1834 Lincoln was an acknowledged Whig leader and was elected to the legislature, where he first met Stephen A. Douglass, the "Little Giant," who was to become his competitor for the senate and for the presidency. A Wrestling Match. A story is related of Lincoln when he was a clerk in the store of Denton Orfutt, at New Salem. Orfutt had a great opinion of Lincoln's mental ability, but a positive admiration for his feats of strength, and never tired of dilating upon the latter. It seems that a somewhat notorious gang of terror lived in a neighboring settlement. They prided themselves on their ability to wrestle and fight and put every newcomer to the test. They soon heard of Lincoln and were anxious to try his mettle. Lincoln was not a brawler and did not court contests of that character except as a means to an end; but Orfutt entered readily into the spirit of the thing and bragged so much about what Lincoln could do with the terrors that affairs reached a crisis and he had to yield to public clamor. A match was arranged with a chosen champion of the gang by the CORNER STREET CITY COURT (Where Lincoln and Douglas Met in Debate.) name of Armstrong. The latter is described as a perfect specimen of physical manhood, powerful and agile and versed in all the tricks of the wrestler. When the match came off, all business was suspended, and the partisans wagered their small possessions freely. The contest was a draw, as the men were so evenly matched that neither could throw the other. But when Armstrong found that he could not throw Abe he resorted to foul tactics. This angered Abe, who abhorred dishonesty in sports as in everything else, and he seized Armstrong by the neck and shook him until the breath almost left his body. Abe was net so expert a wrestler as Armstrong, but in strength the latter was an infant in the former's hands. Behind the Counter- An incident which occurred while he was in trade for himself gives additional insight to his character and shows that he was prompt to rectify errors for which he was responsible. Once he walked three miles after the store closed to return to a customer an over charge of six cents, and at another time when he discovered that he had given short weight of four ounces on a pound of tea, he hurried to put up the shortage and deliver it to his customer. It is far easier to form an impression than it is to destroy it.

It started with the discussion of Mr. Noho's bill prohibiting the issuing of free transportation to and the acceptance of the same by members of the General Assembly, which was a special order on second reading, and which finally was sent to the Railroad committee.

Among the more important bills introduced in the House were the following: By Bowles of Will-Providing that defendants in suits in justice courts who relied on three miles from the justice district affidavit of that fact, have their cases removed to a nearer justice if there be one. By Hammond of Coles-Repelling the act creating the State Board of Horseshoes. Also a bill repealing the act for the licensing of horses, and repealing the law in relation to local improvements.

The Republicans of the Senate will have a caucus on the Agnew anti-trust bill today, and it is expected that the Republican representatives will be called in for consultation. Every Republican senator has been deceived by telegrams and letters, urging him to vote against the bill in its present form. Senator Burns alone received thirty telegrams from South Bend against the bill. A number of party leaders from different parts of the State are demanding that the bill be not passed because, they say, to pass it would be "bad politics." The indications now are that the bill will not be passed in its present form and that that it became a caucus measure it will be so amended that little of the original will be left. WISCONSIN. Wednesday, February 6. The lower house of the legislature passed the anti-free pass amendment to the constitution on a vote of $2 to 12. The commission on it has passed the legislature will be submit to the people at the next general election. Three bills will be introduced by Mr. Hall to repeal the railway reorganization law of 1888, which allows the issue of fictitious bonds by railways. Manuel introduced a measure defining the railway excluding follows: "Wearing apparel, family portraits, private libraries, not exceeding in value $200; also growing crops; also two working horses or mules, with harness one gleam, one plow, one harrow, one greed, one plow, one harrow, one greed, one plow, one harrow, also the tools and implements of a workman, mechanic, or other person used in his business, not exceeding $200 in value."

The Hague, Feb. 8.—The marriage of Queen Wilhelmina to Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was solemnized here today. Everybody is merry, buoyant and blithe. Every face, however old, is lighted with young eyes. The gala costume, with all its brilliant colors, was today thrown against a background everywhere touched with J. H. QUEEN WILHELMINA. snow. As festoons of evergreen sprinkled with oranges were in very general use, the powdering of snow upon the dark green leaves produced a beautiful effect. The minister of justice and the witnesses of the marriage assembled in the white room of the palace at 11:15 o'clock this morning. At 11:30 a. m. the civil marriage took place in the presence of the nearest relatives. After that the royal party proceeded to the church, in procession. After the simple religious service the royal party returned in procession, to the palace, where Queen Wilhelmina held court and received the congratulations of others than members of the royal family and representatives of royal families.

While she lay at anchor outside Sandy Hook bar today warrants were issued for the arrest of the crew. Laden with 1,400,000 gallons of oil destined for Shanghai, China, the Astral was the first of the Standard Oil company's new fleet of sailing vessels to fly the American flag. Under Captain Dunham was a crew of twenty-three men. They refused to go to sea, but were willing to take the ship back. It is said that seven had never made a deep-water voyage. The rest consisted of stokers, beach combers and farmers. Uncle Sam Alms to buy the best of everything which is why he uses Carrier's ink. He knows what's good.

CARRIER PIGEONS. Increasing. Here is a new word for you, cohum- bophilism. It means raising and train. ing messenger pigeons. Within the last few years this industry has grown wonderfully. ‘The governments of Bel- gium, Germany, France and the United States aro training these birds to serve as messengers from army stations, ‘The United States makes use of them more especially from ships. Nearly every one of our big ships carries @ coop of homing pigeons, as they are called, which are released as aceasion demands, and almost without eacep- tion the birds go with unerring swift- ness to their home on shore, carrying a tiny tube fastened to one leg, which contains a message written on the thinnest of paper. ‘They can be de- pended upon to go a hundred miles at a speed of fifty miles an hour when they are three years old. Special at- tention has recently been paid in France to the use of carrier pigcons by the cavalry. The bird is placed in a wieker tube lined with halr to deaden the effect of the jolting. ‘Three such tubes can be carried in a basket, which le attached to the rider's shoulders in the same way as a knapsack. Tho bird's feet are drawn up and its wings are folded when it is placed In the tube, and a light form of folding cage 4s carried, in which the birds can rest and eat during a halt. Twelve men are sent every year from the Fronch ca¥- alry ranks to attend a course of In- struction in the treatment and han- ling of pigeons at the military pigeon station at Vangirard, ‘The sense that guldes the pigeon back to its home ir as much a mystery now as it ever was, When set at Iberty, it immediately rises In the alr in a spiral, higher an? higher, as if getting its bearings, th. away It goes in the right direction, A nightfall the bird goes into camp nez1 water, and early next morning resiire:: the journcy.—Little Chronicle.

Those who know Australia best will have the least doubt that she will find means ere long to use that influ- ence for purposes beneficial to herseit. Her people were far from pleased with what Was done in the case of Sa- moa; and it is safe to say that no such policy of concession will ever command the assent of united Anstra- lia, The sphere of her first Jaterests will, for the present, be confined main- ly to the Pacific and Indian oceans to the south of the equator. She will be interested In the Loyalty group, where France is established, and in the New Hebrides, where she is very anxious to establish herself, She will be solicit- ‘ous about the Solomon islands, part of which are at present recognized as German tevritory, and she will take a very decp interest in the future of New Guines, part of which belongs to Ger- many, and the rest, beyond the British section, is understood to form part of Hollands great but little used estate in the eastern archipelago. These will undoubtedly be Australia’s first cares, but she wil not be content with these for very tong. Siam, French and south- ern Chiya and Borneo are natural marts fer her trade, which in the next ten yea:s will be a rapidly increasing one, any, in relation to all these, she will expect to exercise large influence.

Last year st Yarmouth alone no fewer than 348,0C),000 herrings were landed, and as this year steam fishing boats have largely replaced ssiling vessels, it is expecied this great total will be far excee(ed, for in a single week 12,009 erans have been taken on the northern grounds, giving a return of over £11,- 090 to the fisheruien.

EARLY STEAMERS. Incidents Concerning Boginalag of Line of Boats. | ‘The Collins line of American steam ers was established in 1847, ‘Two years later, on April 27, 1849, its first ves- sel, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from New York. The line was withdrawn 1a 1857, soon after the government nad refused to renew the mail contract with it, ‘The history of its steamers briefly told, is as follows: On Septem- ber 27, 1854, the Arctic came into col lision with the French steamer Vesta and was sunk, only a few of her pas- sengers being’ saved; on January 28, 1856, the Pacific sailed trom Liverpool with 240 persons on board, including the wife of Mr, Collins, and was never heard of afterward; the Atlantic was broken up in New York in 1879; the Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, N. Y., by Steers, was sold to the Galway com- pany, and was afterward used as coal hulk In England; the Baltle was in the government service during the civil war as a supply vessel, and wae afterward sold at auction; her ma- chinery being removed and sold as o:¢ fron, she was converted into a sailing ship and used as a grain carrying ve:- sel between San Francisco and Great Britain until 1880, when she was bro- ken up. When the clvil war began the New York and Havre Steam Naviga- lon company, to which the Hulton and Arago were chartered, was with- drawn; the Arago was then sold to the Peruvian government, while the Ful- ton became a United States transport Vessel for awhile, but she soon became useless and was broken up.—New York Weekly. ‘Honjrmin Harrison's Luach. Ex-President Benjamin Harrison, one of the ablest men who has figured in our public life, has always been handicapped by his unresponsive, cold manner. When he was in the senate, at Washington, D, C., in the early ’80s, he always. brought his luncheon to the committee room. He carried it in his coat pocket and would eat It while he went on with his work. One day when he got it out as usual from his pocket he looked it all over ruefully, for It did look rather flat and dubious. He finally remarked to those near by that he guessed he must have sat on it ac- cidentally. One of his colleagues—one who had recently been ignored by Har- rison—spoke up impulsively: “Well, by Jove, Harrison, if you've sat on it, Til bet you a sixpence it is frozen solid,” and of course a shout went up from the whole committee. Harrison took the joke kindly and joined in the laugh, Mist be Redtilok Mactan: The British and the Boers at Pieters Hill were crouching behind bowlders seattered over a wide surface. ‘The moment a man on either side emerged from his cover he was at once the tar- get of the enemy's bullets.
