Hearing at Santa Fe.

A Santa Fe dispatch of January 31stsays:

In the Kansas-Colorad- o water rightsuit, testimony was heard to-da- y inthe Supreme Court chamber by Com-missioner G. A. Richardson of theUnited States Supreme Court. The

Navajo reservation, could be Irrigatedfrom the San Juan river at a very rea-sonable cost. If the government wouldtake this matter up and furnish suff-icient money to take' out ditches tocover this land, it could at once beginto put the Navajo Indians on a self-sustaini- ng

basis."First, the building of these ditches

would furnish employment to the In-

dians, and to this class of work theyare well adapted. Then, after theditches were completed, enough landwould be brought under irrigation tofurnish practically every Indian on thereservation (of which there are sometwenty thousand) with a home, onwhich he could become an Independ-ent farmer. And, as CommissionerLeupp is more or less familiar with thecondition of the Navajos. I am inhopes he will take the matter up, andvigorously push it to completion."

buquerque, and W. S. Hopewell ofHillsboro, are contemplating a seriousmove in the way of building and thatbefore long. The next few months will

L develop the intentions of this company. Its lines are. to run from Albuquerque northwesterly to Durangoand from Torrance on the Santa FeCentral, southeasterly, to Ro3well.

This proposed new railroad mileageamounts to considerably over a thou-sand miles and it certainly looks as ifat least 500 miles of it will be underactual construction during the yearand be completed by January 1, 1906.The Albuquerque Eastern railroad, theextension of the Denver & Rio Grandefrom Durango to Farmington and theEastern railroad-o- f New-Mexic- o fromTexico to Puerco station, can safelybe put into that category. The build-ing and extensions of the other linesmentioned herein are more than prob-able, in one or two cases almost cer-tain. The indications that New Mex-ico will boom during the present yearand in 1906 are multiplying and areslowly crystalizing into agreeablefacts.

Bills Passed by House.

The lower branch of the Legislatureon February 1st passed the following:

An act providing for protectionagainst floods along the' Rio Grande atSan Marcial, Socorro and Hillsboro,which provides for an appropriation of$4,000; an act relating to registration,an act providing for the constructionof dams and dykes and the raising ofmoney therefor; an act creating coun-ties of the first class; an act to changethe name of the county of LeonardWood to Guadalupe.

About fifty bills were introduced, themost important being:

. An act to provide for a system ofpublic highways to be built by convictlabor; an act appropriating $10,000 forthe completion of the scenic highway;an act. fixing a levy of of a mill tobuild a road from Raton to El Paso;an act providing for the fixing of astandard scale of weights and measures; an act providing for the con-struction of a bridge over the Mimbresriver in Luna county.

New Mexico Weather Conditions.

Following is the weather bulletin, is-

sued February 1st, for New Mexico:"The month of January has been a

mild and rather wet one, the first halfespecially having much rain and snowover practically all of the territory.The soil is thoroughly soaked and inexcellent condition for early plowingand seeding, while tne outlook forearly and excellent range and abun-dant water was seldom better. A lit-

tle plowing has been done in the lowerRio Grande valley. "

"Alfalfa is . apparently winteringwell, also fruit. The mountains areheavy with snow, but the . valleys andsouthern slopes are generally bare.Range in northeast counties is poorand some loss of cattle and sheep isreported in that section,; but generallystock is in fair to good condition andfarmers and ranchmen appear .confi-

dent of a most favorable, season."

Robbed and Murdered.

An Albuquerque dispatch of Febru-ary 1st says: John M. McMann, an

r, who was employed at thegovernment's Fort Bayard sanitarium,got on a drunk yesterday and wan-

dered over to the mining camp of Cen-

tral, where he gambled. Last night hehad won considerable money and thismorning his dead body was found.

It is understood that after pocketinghis winnings he started to walk to FortBayard, where he was overtaken,robbed and a shot fired, through hishead. Sheriff Farnsworth may makean arrest to-nig-

Much New Building Is Scheduled forNew Mexico.

The New Mexican has made a care-ful survey of the railroad situation inNew Mexico and after due and diligentinquiry, finds it to be very favorableto the building of several hundreds ofmiles of track during the .present fis-

cal calendar year. Thia is not build-ing railroads on paper, but this infor-mation is based upon facts and lettersfrom first class sources. The Albu-querque eastern railroad is in courseof active construction between Mori-art-y

on the Santa Fe Central railwayand the city of Albuquerque. The linewhen completed will be forty-fiv- e milesin length and the branch to the Hagancoal fields, eighteen miles in length.thus will be added sixty-thre- e miles ofrailroad to the mileage now in opera-tion. The Eastern railroad of NewMexico, or "The Cut-Off- " as it is com-

monly called, from Texico through thecounties of Roosevelt, Chaves, Tor-

rance and Valencia to Puerco stationon the Santa Fe Pacific will also hebuilt during the year. It may not becompleted, but that part of it will boin running order by the 1st of Janu-ary, 1906, seems assujed.

Work will commence at an' earlydate from Texico west and from Heleneast. The line will be 212 miles inextent. It is not exactly known as yetwhere it will cross the El Paso &

Northeastern and the Santa Fe Cen-

tral on the eastern side of the RioGrande, but that it will cross the SantaFe at Belen is fixed.

The Denver & Rio Grande railroadhas made and is making several sur-veys in San Juan county and the NewMexican is informed by reliable au-

thority that it is very likely that grad-ing on the extension of that line fromDurango to Farmington along the Ani-

mas river, a distance of about sixtymiles, will commence about April 1st.It is said that grading contracts havebeen awarded to J. B. Orman of Pu-

eblo and Kirkpatrick Brothers of Wy-

oming. It is also said that this exten-sion fit the Denver & Rio Grande rail-road will be broad-gaug- e and will befinished in time to move the great andincreasing fruit crop of San Juancounty this fall. What the plans of theDenver & Rio Grande are as to ex-

tensions to the south, this paper hasnot as yet been enabled to learn, butit believes that the report it has re-

ceived as to a broad-gaug- e extensionto Farmington is correct and will soprove within a few weeks.

The Durango & El Paso railroad,which is backed by the Phelps-Dodg- e

& Company people and the El Paso &

Southwestern railroad, has severalcorps of surveyors in the field in SanJuan, McKinley and Valencia counties.As far as can be determined now, theDurango & El Paso will build and thatwithin the next twelve months fromDuarngo to some point on the SantaFe Pacific west of Grant station and

'past, nf Gallnn and will strike theQotiio Va. Popifle in that section. Itwill then, so this paper is informed,use the tracks of the Santa Fe Pacificand the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe

via Belen south to a connection with

the El Paso & Southwestern at ornear El Paso, Texas. The trackagefrom the New Mexico line to theSanta Fe Pacific is estimated at 140

to 170 miles.The Colorado & Arizona railroad

has also several corps of surveyors inthe field in western New Mexico andthe commencement of active work on

its proposed lines, may also be ex-

pected during the coming year.Thn Duraneo. Roswell & Gulf rail

Among the witnesses examined wereGovernor Otero, President LutherFoster of the College of Agricultureand Mechanic Arts at Las Cruces,M. W. Mills of Colfax county, W. S.Hopewell, general manager of the Al-

buquerque Eastern railway, R. E.Twitchell of Las Vegas, T. B. Catronof this city and Solomon Luna of LoSLunas. The testimony Introduced bythese witnesses went to show the Im-

portance of irrigation in the arid re-

gions and how land would be en-

hanced by the construction of irriga-tion systems and storage reservoirsunder the reclamation act.

The great benefit to agriculture andhorticulture due to irrigation was "tes-

tified to by the witnesses and it wasproved that from 3,000,000 to 15,000,-00- 0

acres of land could be irrigated inNew Mexico by the proper storage anduse of the waters from the streams inthe territory.

Irrigation in New Mexico.

A Santa Fe dispatch of February 1stsays: At the hearing before Commis-sioner G. A. Richardson in the aKnsas-Colorad- o

water case testimony wasgiven to-da- y by R. E. Twitch, T. B. Cat-

ron and Solomon Luna. Their testi-mony was in regard, to ancient meth-ods of irrigation in New Mexico andhow irrigation benefits the arid land.

Mr. aCtron estimated that under thereclamation act at least 15,000,000acres in this territory could be madeproductive, although only 250,000 acresare cultivated now. The commissioncompleted its sitting here this eveningand will proceed to Roswell for a cou-

ple of days. From there CommisisonerRichardson and the attorneys in thecase will go to Little Rock and FortSmith, Arkansas.

How the Navajos Farm.

Mr. Pre witt of Aztec, San Juancounty, in an interview published inthe Satna Fe New Mexican, says:

"The Navajo Indians, whose reser-vation covers the entire western partof the county, have lately made won-

derful progress in agricultural pur-

suits under the guidance of W. T.Sheldon, the agent for the north halfof the Navajo reservation, and for-

merly of Santa Fe."Up to the present year the agricul-

ture of the Navajos have been confinedto small patches, easily irrigated alongthe streams, but in 1904. the matterwas taken hold of systematically, thegovernment having previously assistedthe Navajos in constructing smallditches along the lower lands of theSan Juan valley, and the results weremore than could have been expectedby the most sanguine. One Indian, be-

sides supplying his own needs, sold15,000 pounds of his wheat, and a care-ful estimate showed that the Navajosalong the San Juan river had raisedsome 250,000 pounds of grain, besidesother crops such as alfalfa, beans, po-

tatoes, and á variety of other vege-

tables."The wonderfull progress these In-

dians have made in agriculture shouldentitle them fto a great deal of consid-eration from the government. I shouldsay that from fifty to a hundred thou-sand acres of land along the San Juanvalley, within the boundaries of the

Reservoir for Las Vegas Grant.A Las Vegas dispatch of January

29th says: Las Vegas believes it iscertain to secure a government reservoir. So satisfactory have been theassurances from the engineers as tothe report that will be made upon theproposition that has been under con-sideration here for months, that acommittee of citizens is now disposing of the 10,000. acres of land to bebrought under irrigation.- - In less thanone day's work 4,000 acres were takenup by residents and contract forms arebeing sent outside.

The commissioners of the Las Vegasgrant will cede the land back to thegovernment, and each taker of the landobligates himself to pay ?5.70 an acrefor the land for ten years, at the expir-ation of which time the permanentwater rights and the deed to the landgo to the settler.

The land is deep and. rich and thewater would be sufficient to irrigate25,000 acres. However, the amountavailable will not amount to much,more than 10,000 acres. The smallamount of land for a time made therecommendation of the project doubt-ful, but now that it is certain thatevery acre will be subscribed for inadvance, and the government assuredof the repayment of the money, it isfelt that there will be no danger ofthe failure of the project.

In every respect, the statistics askedfor by the department regarding thehome markets, the kind of crops thatcan be raised, and the yield per acre,have been more than assuring.

Territorial Ranger Bill.

A Las Vegas dispatch says: Theofficers of the cattle sanitary boardare taking the greatest interest in thefate of the ranger bill that has beenprepared for introduction in the legis-lature. The general feeling of thecattlemen in this section is that themeasure hasj no chance of passing, asit seems to be regarded by many asserving a special interest. Therefore,it is argued, the territory should notbe put to the expense of paying for theranges.

Secretary Barnes of the TerritorialCattle Growers' association, suggestsa compromise measure, in case the billfails, that doubtless will go through.It is that the cattlemen of the terri-tory pay an additional mill taxes, andthat this amount go to the payment ofthe salaries of seven or eight rangersto be under the supervision of the cat-tle sanitary board and the CattleGrowers' association.

Smoke Cost Poor German Workmana Small Fortune.

Not many months ago in Berlin aworkingman stepped Into the shop ofa poor widow and asked permissionto light his pipe. Drawing a piece ofpaper from his pocket, he made aspill of it, lit his pipe, and throwingdown the charred paper walked awaywith a word of thanks.: On the fol-

lowing morning the "widow, whilesweeping her shop floor, picked upthe discarded and partly burnt paperand, recognizing it as a lottery ticket,put it in her pocket.

She had almost forgotten the Inci-

dent whep she chanced to see a listof the winning numbers in a great lot-tery drawing; then it flashed on herthat she hád somewhere part of aticket which might possibly be en-

titled to a prize. She discovered thecrumpled paper and to her amaze-ment found that it bore the numberto which the first prize of $50,000 hadbeen awarded. What the feelings ofthe workman must have been if everhe discovered how much that pipe hadcost him may be left to the

interesting peasant in all Europe. Inreligion he is an idealist. He has littleknowledge of the scriptures, althroughthe Russian government favors theircirculation, but when he studies theBible, the teaching of the brotherhoodof man is that which most appeals tohim. In many instances this idealteaching has been followed to whatwould in this country be consideredabsurd lengths.

The peasants believe most thor-oughly in their religion, and carry thatbelief to the extreme that they con-sider the Russian orthodox church theonly true Christian faith. It is arguedby them that the Christian religionwas first given to the Latin races, butthose races failed to extend It through-out the world. Then the Germanicraces received the mission, but they,too, in Russian opinion, have failed,Now, it is held, the time is ripe for theSlavonic races to take up the workand the true Slav confidently expectothat in order to carry out the mission,it will be his duty to conquer all

Farmer Willingly Admitted ThatShakespeare "Knowed Hoss."

Apropos of the appearance of JuliaMarlowe and E. H. Sothern in Shake-spearean plays this season, somebodyrevived this tale of a country editor,and a farmer whose specialty washorses. The tale is one of many toillustrate the universality of the bard'sknowledge. This old horseman lovedthe animals as they deserve to beloved, and their fine points were anopen book to him. This is the waythe country editor describes the inci-

dent:"One day I read to Loflin that was

the farmer's name this description ofa horse in 'Venus and Adonis':Round-hoofe- d, short-jointe- d, fetlocks

shag and long,Broad breast, full eye, small head, and

nostrils wide, ' '

Save a proud rider on so proud a back." 'Sol,' said I, 'what do you think of

that?'" 'You kin buy a horse from that

description if you didn't know onefrom a dod-blaste- d mule,' said he.'Who writ it?'

" 'Shakespeare.'" 'Who's Shakespeare?'" 'An English poet.'" 'Wall, I don't know who Shape-spear- o

was and don't go much onpoetry, but ef yoo ever see Shake-speare tell him fur Sol Loflin that heknowed hoss."'

First Burial at Rostock, but He WasFinally Laid in Delft, Holland.

The first burial place of Grotiu wasat Rostock near the German coast,and there, before the high altar of itsgreat church today, Is sacreuly pre-served, as an honor to Germany, thetomb in which his body was tempor-arily enshrined.

But his wish had been to rest In hisnative soil, says Andrew D. White inthe Atlantic, and, after a time, his re-

mains were conveyed to the Nether-lands. It is hard to believe, and yetit is recorded, that as his coffin wasborne through the city of Rotterdam,stones were thrown at it by the bigot-ed mob; finally it was laid in a cryptbeneath the church of Delft, his birth-place.

Few monuments are more suggest-ive to the thinking traveler than thatancient cathedral. There lie thebones of men who took the lead insaving the Dutch republic and civilliberty from the bigotry of Spain.Above all, in the apse, towers thecanopied tomb of William the Silent

sculptured marble and moltenbronze showing forth the majesty ofhis purpose and the gratitude of hispeople. Hard by, in a quiet side aisle,is the modest tomb of Grotius, its in-

scription simple and touching.Each of these two great men was a

leader in the service of liberty andjustice; each died a martyr to un-

reason. Both are risen from the dead,and live forevermore in modern lib-erty, civil and religious in modernlaw fatal to tyranny, in modern in-

stitutions destructive to intolerance,and, above all, in the heart and mindof every man who worthily under-takes to serve the nobler purposes ofbis country or the larger interests ofhis race.

"At last, however, I bought a pack-age of Postum, although I was sure Icould not drink it. I prepared it asdirected, and served it for breakfast.Well, bitter as I was against it, Imust say that never before had Itasted a more delicious cup of coffee!From that day to this (more than twoyears) I have never had a desire forthe old coffee.

Have to Share In Endless Struggle, for Existence With Men.

In the lower stratum of Hindu soci-ety women do not live the life of lux-ury and ease that is common amongthe upper classes, says the CalcuttaStatesman. The great masses of smallfarmers, artisans and coolies earnso meager a livelihood that their live?are merely an endless struggle forexistence, in which their wives haveof necessity to do their share.

Not only is this true in the domesticaffairs to which the women must at-

Quartered In Tents But the,

Washington Post Thinks Tents Pret-ty Good for Soldiers.

"A miltary member of the Inaugura-tion committee" has been quoted assaying that the weather in earlyMarch next will be 'loo cold to allowthe quartering of the troops in tents."Herein the gentleman refers to thequartering of such militia as may cometo Washington for the purpose of par-ticipating in the inauguration of Pres-ident' Roosevelt. It is a propositionwhich will interest survivors of theCivil War.

During the midwinter campaigns ofthe early '60s, in the Ozarks, the Ap-

palachian ranges, among the snowsand storms of Virginia, Kentucky, Ten-nessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Ar-kansas and Mississippi, the soldierwho had a tent, thought himself espe-cially fortunate. Although he had topitch it in a blizzard, and to digthrough frozen crusts for the materialof his camp fire, the right to use a tentfor purposes of sleep appealed to himas the accomplished dream of happi-ness. Now, however, we are told thathere, in Washington, after every lei-

surely preparation, with all conceiva-ble equipment of comfort and security,a tent will be "too cold" for the reservesoldiery of the United States and InMarch at that!

It may be so. But in that case, ei-

ther the tents of to-da- y are miserabletravesties on the tents of forty yearsago' or the soldiers of 1905 are infi-

nitely more deserving of solicitudethan were their grandfathers, whofought and bled and shivered andstarved on every storm-swep- t moun-tain side within the sphere of war. Justhow this is, we do not undertake tosay. Indeed, we fear the worst.Washington Post.

Baby Covered With Sores and ScalesCould Not Tell What SheLooked Like Marvelous

' Cure by Cuticura.

"At four months old my baby's faceand body were so covered with soresand large scales you could not telltwhat she looked like. No child everihad a worse case.

Army Service for Women., A military man, writing for the'Washington Post, says that EmperorWilliam of Germany has devised amost remarkable scheme, of profoundinterest to women throughout the civ-ilized world, the ultimate aim of whichlis nothing more nor less than render-ing the fair sex liable to compulsoryservice in ' the, army. True, he doesnot propose that they should swell theranks of his mounted body of Amazonswhich he is alone among Europeansovereigns to possess; nor does he in-

tend that they should be called uponto shoulder the rifle, to wield the sa-- ;

ber, or to serve the guns. But he hasin view the fulfillment of those partic-ular duties in connection with the non-combata-

departments of the army,such as, for instance, hospital work,clerical work, the preparation of sup-plies, etc., for all of which a training,to be furnished by the government, Isrequired.

FEARFUL SIGHT AT LIAOYANG.

Horrors of the Battlefield Depicted in

True Colors.Never will the few foreigners who

saw the battlefield of Liaoyang on themorning of September 4 be able todismiss from their memories the fear-ful sights they witnessed. Already,in the mists of early morning, hun-

dreds and hundreds of crematory firesdotted the plain. Just a layer of fire-

wood, then a layer of dead bodies, andabove them another covering of fuel.As the flames crackled the dead shrankand shriveled and rose up, tortured,to sink back in ashes, while hideousskulls, with empty sockets, grinnedthrough the quivering heat. The airreeked with the . fumes of burningflesh, and the smoke blew scaldinginto one's eyes. Fuel was scarce andthe dead numbered thousands, so asmany more of the stiffened corpseswere thrown thudding into the hollowtrenches, in rows a hundred yardslong, and covered from sight with ablanket of earth. The living, gauntand tired, shuffled stumbllngly as theywearily dragged in the dead to pyreand pit, or piled up the rifles and am-

munition belts of comrades who hadserved their country for the last timeluto huge stacks. Poor chaps!Eleven days of a carnival of war, and,after all, they had failed to accom-plish their great purpose the forcingof Kouropatkin into a decisive battle.

The hours are flying;Each one some treasure takes.Each one some , blossom breaks.

And leaves it dying; ,

The chill dark night draws ,near,Thy sun will soon depart,

And leave thee sighing;Then mourn, rejoicing heartThe hours are flying.

Rejoice. O grieving heart!The hours fly fast!

With each some sorrow dies.With each some shadow flies.

Bids weary "night depart.And pain is past.

Rejoice, then, grieving heart.The hours fly fast.

This was allowed, and Nlccolo wasgrowing wealthy, ""to the scandal ofthe Venetians. Yet' their word hadbeen given, so, instead of annullingthe privilege, it was ordered thathenceforth all executions should takeplace between the columns. That de-

stroyed the gambling monopoly, forhenceforth it was considered a placeof ill omen. '

The treasures in St. Mark's itselfwould require a very considerable cat-

alogue to merely suggest their vari-ety and value. Begun in the year 830,

the first church was destroyed byfire in 97C. Subsequently it was re-

built, and the building as we know itwas consecrated in 1085. During itsbuilding every vessel that sailed tothe East was obliged to bring a con-

tribution for St. Mark's. Within itare more than 500 pillars of rare Ori-

ental marbles and some of the finestByzantine mosaics. Within the bap-

tistry the mass of granite which forms

on as many triuniphal arches in theEternal City. That Constantine tookthem off to Constantinople to gracehis hippodrome. It is definitely known',however, that when the Venetianssacked Constantinople, after the siegein the year 1203, the four horses weretransported to Venice and set up onSt. Mark's. When Napoleon was con-

quering Italy he, with his Dark Agesideas, packed off the horses with suchother treasures as his artistic tastedictated to Paris. From 1797 until1815 the horses were In Paris, forwith the eclipse of the first emperorthe various countries he had plun-dered requested the return of the loot,and the king of France, whom theyhad restored to his throne, could notvery well refuse.

Familiar for Centuries.The three cedar pili, or flagstaffs,

which rise from the pavement of, thesquare in front of the church to abovethe bronze horses, have been familiarobjects for centuries. In the old daysthe banners of Cyprus, Candia and theMorea floated from them, recallingthe victories of the Venetians, butnow on Sundays and festivals the Ital-ian colors float from them.

Another interesting object of thesquare is the clock of the Torreo dell'Orologio, on the top of which twobronze figures of Moors strike a bellwith each hour. The legend has itthat one of these tollers of the houris a murderer. Once upon a time apoor workman, unconscious that hourwas about to be tolled, got withinreach of one of the figures, and being

KILLED BEAR WITH A ROCK.

Two Nevada Indians Had an Un-

pleasant Experience.Two Indians were attacked by a

large black bear on Berry creek inWhite Pine county, Nevada, yesterday,and after a desperate fight they suc-ceeded in killing the enraged animalwith a rock. The fight was unequaland the Indians were torn and cut ina terrible manner by the claws of thehuge beast. ,

The bear was sleeping in the wil-

lows along the bank of the streamwhen the Indians, who were fishing,came upon it. The animal rushed atthem with an angry growl and suc-ceeded In knocking one of the Indianasenseless with a blow of its paw.

The beast then closed with the oth-er redskin and endeavored to drawhim within reach of .Its open jaws.The Indian fought with great bravery,but was about to surrender to thebeast when his companion regainedconsciousness and rushed to

, his aidwith a large rock., He struck the bear at the base of

the skull and stunned it, and beforeit could recover crushed its skull wltbthe rock. San Francisco Call.

Clock Tower.heyday of its power, is found to be indanger of collapse.

The report of Prof. Manfred! andSignor Marangoni, recently submitted,save some alarming information aboutUie condition of St. Mark's. Thegreatest danger to this basilica is inthe foundations, which have been con-

stantly giving way in divers direc-

tions. All the walls show such crack-

ing and weakening that it leads to theconclusion that under the magnificentdress of marble and mosaic is con-

cealed the most alarming decrepitude.So bad is the condition of the vaults

called the Paradise and Apocalypsethat their complete and definite res-

toration is absolutely necessary. It isa miracle that they maintain theirequilibrium.

That St. Mark's be preserved is nolonger merely a question for Veniceto answer, for artistically that glori-

ous treasure belongs to the world.Who can conceive of a Venice withoutthis grand old basilica, under whichlie buried the remains of the lion-hearte- d

saint in whose honor the ed-

ifice was raised? It is the loadstoneof the Place or Piazza of St Mark,and the Place of St. Mark, as Mr. How-ell- s

has told those of us who did notknow it, is the heart of Venice.

Treasury of Art.St. Mark's is more than, a church; It

is a treasury of art, for in the MiddleAges, when the fleets of the Venetiansruled the seas, in the days whenTurks were to be fought in those re-

ligious wars known as Crusades, whenthe shores of the eastern Mediterran-ean were kept' in order by the repub-

lic of the Adriatic, the choicest spoils

from every sacked city or town werebrought to Venice and added to theart treasures of St. Mark's.' Of these,perhaps the most notable are the fourantique bronze horses which ornamentthe facade. Each of them weighs aton, and their origin is still unknown.

It Is said that they were treasuresof Alexandria, and were carried toRome by Augustus after he defeatedMarc Antony in SO B. C. It is also saidtitt five Romas emperors placed tfcezn

struck with the swinging hammer.was thrown to his death in the squarebelow. The clock is not only a workof art, but gives a variety of informa-tion. Its dial is of blue and gold,' andupon it are told not only the Italianhours, which run from One to twenty-fou- r,

but the quarters of the moonand the position of the twelve signs ofthe zodiac. On the upper story, abovethe dial, is a gigantic lion, and be-

neath it a gilded statue' of the VirginMary. During the month of May, atcertain hours, a door near this figureopens and the Magi appear, pass be-

fore her, salute her with their crownsand disappear by another door.

History of the Columns.The columns of St. Mark's, like

everything about the square, havetheir history. They form a sort ofopen door from the molo, and are thefirst objects which attract thestranger who enters Venice from thesea. There were originally three col-

umns, brought from the islands ofthe archipelago in 1127, but one sankentirely out of sight and has neverbeen recovered. For half a centurythe two laid on the shore, for no one

Pulpit, Cathedral of St. Mark.the altar is said to be the stone onwhich Christ stood when he preachedto the people of Tyre. The altarscreen dates back to 1105, when it wasbrought from Constantinople. Thehigh altar, with-it- s bronze gates andmarble columns, once adorned theChurch of St. Sophia in Constantino-ple. There will also, be found in St.Mark's the famous picture of the Vir-

gin believed to have been painted bySt. Luke.

Theological Criticism.The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott's pro-

nouncement as to tLe First Causecontinues to be the leading theme oftheological dispute, and no two ofhis critics agree in their interpreta-tion of its exact meaning and signifi-cance. All of which recalls the oldScotch toast: "The new meenis-ter- .

plied:"By being old when I was

young. I find myself young nowthat I am old." He did not meanby the phrase "being old when Iwas old," that he deprived himselfof the plasures of youth. The hi-

A few days ago the proprietor pur-chased a hornet's nest from a farmerand hung it over the bar. The en-trance hole in the nest was closed bya piece of paper being pasted over it.It was much ádmired, and everythingwent well until to-da- y.

The heat in the room brought thenest to life. The hornets thought itwas summer again, and, being hun-gry, began to get busy. They burstthe paper closing the exit and, in afew minutes the room was full of hor-nets.

The bartender ran but, covered withthe insects, and a number of otherpersons followed suit, yelling like In-

dians. The hornets held possessionuntil a big policeman, covered withnetting and heavily gloved, carried outthe nest. The bartender was taken tothe hospital with both eyes closed.

World's Largest Store.The honor of possessing the great-

est store in the world belongs to Rus-sia.

It is situated in Moscow, coverstwenty acres and embraces a thou-sand different establishments, each ofwhich has its own proprietor. Theplace is, in fact, a sort of bazaar, con-- ,

sisting not only of shops on theground floor, but also on three flcorsabove it.

The merchandise offered for sale i?described as of fabulous value--- itamounts, in fact, to millions of dol-

lars.The prices of the wares are not

marked. The Russians are much giv-en to bargaining for and cheapeningthe .'goods they buy, and in buyingat the bazaar most of them "negotiate"with the tradesman much in the Ori-

ental fashion.

Presently he spoke.

"Millie," he said, wistfully, "are yousoing to keep me waiting much long-er?"

The eyes she turned upon him werefilled with compassion.

"I know you have been good andídnd and patient with me, Ned," shesaid. "But I cannot say what youwould like just yet."

"I have everything that you coulddesire, and I could make you as hap-py as the day is long if only youwould let me try, dear," he said,pleadingly. "Tell me, what is itwhat mystery stands between us andhappiness? I think you owe me thatmuch."

She was silent for a time."I suppose I should tell you," she

said at last, with a shadow of painon her face. "It is right that youshould know. It is a long story, butI could condense it into three words:There is another!"

The Century' Call.Deep unto deep, it calleth.

The century's dominant cry;Over the desert and over the plain,Ovr the peak and mountain chain,

Under the thrilling sky.The-voic- e of mighty peoples,

And the tocsin of war and woe,From East to West 'tis sounding,

And a man must rise and go.

He must' leave the hearth of his mother,He must ride like the knights of old;

To tourney and tilt, with a good righthand,

That cleaves to the hilt for tho love oíthe land,

And here's to the soldier bold!Who is pure of thought and action.

Who Is ready to serve his age,Who cares for the thing he doeth.

And not for the soldier's wage.

Deep unto deep, it calleth,The century's urgent cry,

Splendid and strong is the century's sonsValor and love to the battle throng,

And It may not pass you by.From East to West 'tis sounding,

The call for the brave and true,O lads with pulses bounding,

That cry is meant for you.

Wherever the need Is greatest,Wherever the ill is worst.

Over the city's thousands thick.Over the deserts of stone and brick,

Over the lands accurst.The cry for help is pealing,

Bitter with want and woe,O brother, if you hear it,

A man must arise and go.Margaret E. Sangster, in Youth's Com-

"One night there was a fight infront of the house in which I lived anda man was killed. The body was notremoved and lay where it fell. Atdaybreak the next morning I lookedout to see if the body was still there.Just then a man came down the streetand stopped by the body. He careful-ly searched the pockets, of the deadman;' but did not find a single cent.This' so angered him thát he gave thedead- - man a vigorous . kick.

The Remedy That Makes New BloodBanishes Weakness, Headaches, lu--'

. digestion and Nervous Troubles.Hundreds of women suffer from head-

aches, dizziness, restlessness, languorand timidity. Few realize that theirmisery all comes from the bad state oftheir blood. They take one thing fortheir head, another for their stomach,a third for their nerves, and yet all thewhile it is simply their poor blood thaiis the cause of their discomfort.

If one sure remedy for making good,rich blood were used every one of theirdistressing ailments would disappear, asthey did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.Stone, who had been ailing for years andwas completely run down before she re-

alized the nature of her trouble.For several years," said Mrs. Stone,

I suffered from general debility. Itbegan about 1896 with indigestion, ner-vousness and steady headaches. Up to1900 1 hadn't been able to find any relieffrom this condition. I was then veiythin and bloodless. An enthusiastiafriend, who had used Dr. Williams' PinkPills, urged me to give them a trial andI finally bought a box.

' I did not notice any marked changefrom the use of the first box, but I ed

to give them a fair trial and Ikept on. When I had finished thesecond box I could see very decided signsof improvement in my condition. I be-

gan to feel better all over and to havehopes of a complete cure.

' I used in all eight or ten boxes, andwhen I stopped I had got back my regu-lar weight and a good healthy color andthe gain has lasted. I can eat what Iplease without discomfort. My nervons-nes- s

is entirely gone, and, while I hadconstant headaches before, I very rarelyhave one now. I cheerfully recom mendDr. Williams' Pink Pills to women whosuffer as I did."

Farmer Willingly Admitted ThatShakespeare "Knowed Hoss."

Apropos of the appearance of JuliaMarlowe and E. H. Sothern in Shake-spearean plays this season, somebodyrevived this tale of a country editor,and a farmer whose specialty washorses. The tale is. one of many toillustrate the universality of the bard'sknowledge. This old horseman lovedtho animals as they deserve to beloved, and their fine points were anopen book to him. This is the waythe country editor describes the inci-

dent: .

"One day I read to Loflin that wasthe farmer's name this description ofa horse in 'Venus and Adonis':

Round-hoofe- d, short-jointe- d, fetlocksshag and long,

Broad breast, full eye, small head, andnostrils wide,

High crest, short ears, straight legs, andpassing strong.

Thick mane, thick tail, broad buttock,tender hide,

Look, what a horse should have, he didnot lack.

Save a proud rider on so proud a back." 'Sol,' said I, 'what do you think of

that?'"'You kin buy a horse from that

description if you didn't know onefrom a dod-blaste- d mule,' said he.'Who writ it?'

" 'Shakespeare.'" 'Who's Shakespeare?'" 'An English poet.'"'Wall, I don't know who Shape-spear- e

,was and don't go much onpoetry, but ef yoo ever see Shake-speare tell Tiim fur Sol Loflin that heknowed hoss." ,

Enigmatical But True.Visitors to the old cemeteries in

New England often meet with queerepitaphs as they i)ass among the de-

cayed and crumbling headstones.Here is one to be,seen on one in thecemetery or "burying hill," as theguides call the spot in Plymouth,Mass:

Here's to the memory of Mary Trextori,Who married many a man but' never

vexed one, .

Attempting Too Much.The worst energy-destroy- er is he

who attempts too many tasks and doesnot properly perform any one of them.At the close of day if such an onewould look back and exercise a littl-- a

reason he would soon discover why hewas not called higher in. his occur n.

It is the employer who finisheshis task properly that is valued tiiemost. Incomplete work is the bane ofmany .establishments. Many expenda tremendous amount , of energy andftír tho lack of proper training m thefirst place they waste, their time anddo not satisfy an employer. The hard-working competent employes mustoften drag their companions along onthe pay roll.

Power cf Mother's Example.The cheerfulness that should be one

of the leading characteristics of homelife is often of a very chastened or-

der, solely because the example of acheery disposition is not set by thewife and mother. One glimpse of herface as she begins the duties of theday is enough to set the tone tor thefamily. If she be bright and cheery,with a kindly word and a smile foreverybody, she will have the gladden-

ing effect of sunshine, and do muchto make the day a happy and success-ful one to her husband and children.

It required two days and a night tocook it properly. Then it was liftedout and placed in a specially madebowl cut from the trunk of an enor-mous cypress tree, and round it wereplaced 114 dumplings of the usual size.A band of music and fifty wagonswere sent to Dumpling Town, and inthese wagons were taken to ScotlandNeck the 114 true blue Harrison menand their families.

There was great cheering when theyarrived at Scotland Neck, and theguests cheered themselves when theysaw the feast prepared for them, forbesides the dumplings no end of goodthings filled many tables in the spacious warehouse, and the feasting andfun lasted the rest of the day andnearly all night.

A barrel of the best molasses wasused as sauce for the big dumplingand the hungry people ate It all.Youth's Companion.

BEGGS' CHERRY COUGHSYRUP cures coughs and colds,'

An aged citizen of North Carolinatells the story of the greatest, appledumpling ever made. His home Is inHalifax countyt where, prior to 1840,there was a voting precinct known bythe odd name of "Dumpling Town." In1840, when William Henry Harrisonwas elected president, after a most ex-

citing campaign, Dumpling Town hadexactly 114 voters, and every man ofthem cast his ballot for Harrison.

The people of the small but prosper-ous town of Scotland Neck, in thecounty, also showed their appreciationof the unanimous vote of DumplingTown by a generous and whimsicalgift. Two days and a night were con-

sumed in building a big dumpling,which weighed 114 pounds, one poundfor each vote cast at Dumpling Town.This monster of a dumpling was putln a sack, supported by a tripod, andlowered into an immense iron kettle. v

GENEEAL DEBILITY EESULT3 PBOMIMPOVERISHED BLOOD.

The Remedy That Makes New BloodVanishes Weakness, Headaches, In-

digestion and Nervous Troubles.Hundreds of women suffer from head-ache- s,

dizziness, restlessness, lauguorand timidity. Few realize that theirmisery all comes from the bad state oftheir blood. They take one thing fortheir head, another for their stomach,a third for their nerves, and yet all thewhile it is simply their poor blood thatis the cause of their discomfort.

If one sure remedy for making good,rich blood were used every one of theirdistressing ailments would disappear, asthey did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.Stone, who had been ailing for years andwas completely run down before she re-

alized the nature of her trouble.11 For several years," said Mrs. Stone,

"I suffered from general debility.' Itbegan about 1896 with indigestion, ner-vousness and steady headaches. Up to1900 1 hadn't been able to find any relieffrom this condition. I was then verythin and bloodless. An, enthusiasticfriend, who had used Dr. Williams' PinkPills, urged me to give them a trial andI finally bought a box.

" I did not notice any marked changefrom the use of the first box, but I de-

termined to give them a fair trial and Ikept on. When I had finished thesecond box I could see very decided signsof improvement in my condition. I be-

gan to feel better all over and to havehopes of a complete cure.

" I used in all eight or ten boxes, andwhen I stopped I had got back my regu-lar weight and a good healthy color andthe gain has lasted. I can eat what Iplease without discomfort. My nervous-ness is entirely gone, and, while I hadconstant headaches before, I very rarelyhave one now. I cheerfully reconi mendDr. Williams Pink Pills to women whosuffer as I did." '

Mrs. Stone was 6een at her prettyhome in Lakewood, E. I., where, as thoresult of her experience, Dr. Williams'Pink Pills are very popular. These fa-

mous pills are sold by all druggists. Abook that every woman needs is pub-lished by the Dr. Williams MedicineCompany, Schenectadv, N. Y. It is en-

titled "Plain Talks to Women, "and willbe sent free ou request.

"PUSS" GOT A SCALDING.

Humorous to the Audience But Pain-

ful to Actor. ,

O. E. Lennon, one of the noted"animal actors" of England, has someinteresting stories to tell of his experi-ences on the stage. Seeing an adver-tisement for a man to play the Spiderin "The Silver King" young Lennonwrote to the manager offering his ser-

vices. Of course, he had heard of thepopular melodrama, but having noidea of the character of Capt. Skinner,he explained that he had just made asuccess as a cat in pantomime, andfelt "perfectly sure he could act aspider to everybody's satisfaction."

Apropos of cats at Christmas, Mr.Lennon has a vivid recollection of in-

troducing a most realistic and painfulfrom his own point of view piece

of acting into "Dick Whittington," atthe old Adelphi, London, some yearsago. One of the comedians had tocarry, a tub of hot water onto thestage. The property man, determin-ed that there should be plenty ofsteam, heated it to boiling point. Thecomedian, believing it to be only com-

fortably warm, purposely tipped halfpint over the cat as he ran past. Thechildren in the audience 'shriekedwith laughter, and when the poorpuss, severely scalded, executed afrenzied dance round the stage all thegrown-up- s Joined in. Mr. Lennon wasthe only person who could not see thejoke.

Wh'y They Moved On.Two Irishmen, evidently laborers

with a day off, were peering throughthe iron fence into Trinity churchyardthe other morning. They were on theBroadway side where the big sky-scraper under erection overhangs thequiet of the graves.

A concealed steam pipe runs outfrom the foundation excavations, andwith a hissing, sizzling sound lets outthe steam in such a way that thevapor seems to rise from the earthand curl cloudily around the monu-ments. All this must have visualizedsomething to one of the laborers. Halffascinated, he turned to his compan-ion and said:

At the time the two were standingclose to a window that was open tolet in the delicious afternoon air,which was refreshing, though a triflewarm. The sun was just coming outfrom a bank of clouds. The weatherwas as spring-lik- e as it has been forsome days.

"Ah, if this weather keeps up," re-

plied Mr. Hay, "blackberries will soonbe ripe, and you then can pick yourway back home."

"The meanest man I ever knew,"said Representative Ryan of Buffalo,"was a chap who ohe night came tothe house of a doctor, who is tryingto build up a practice on the east sidein Buffalo, during the Christmas holi-days. It war snowing and very cold.

" 'Doctor,' he said, 'what are yourterms?'

" 'Have you a horse?'"'Yes.''"Well, hitch up and I'll go along

with you. I need you out in WestSeneca a ways.'

"The doctor had his horse broughtaround and the man got in the buggywith him. They drove about fourmiles out Into the country.

" 'Here's the place,' said the man,as they reached a farmhouse. Then hehanded the doctor $2.

" 'You needn't go in,' he said. 'Aliveryman wanted to charge me $5 tobring me out here, but I thought I

would rather give you $2."

Former Senator Henry G. Davis ofWTest Virginia, recently Democraticcandidate for the vice presidency,called on the president to pay hisrespects. The president greeted Mr.Davis cordially, saying:

"I ara glad to see you, Mr. Davis.Walk right into my office. You areentitled to precedence over allothers."

The president and Mr. Davis had apleasant chat about matters of mu-

tual personal interest.

Judge Bartlett of Georgia, illustrat-ing the way in which the Hill curren-cy, bill was framed, told the story ofhow the master and his former slavesettled up after the war. The oldslave was faiyning on shares. At theend of the; season he was settling upfor his provisions, implements andsupplies. The master took down a

'big book and showed the darky thedebits and credits.

"Now, you understand, Mose, don'tyou," he asked, "your share is small,but everything is plain?"

"Yas, sir, des as plain as day," an-swered the old darky, looking at thecolumns of figures, "des as plain asday--

"Nought is a nought, tFigger is a figger, ... ?All for de white man """And none for de nigger."

"That's the way it is with the Hillbill," said Dr. Bartlett.

"Nought is a nought,Figger is a figger,All for the banks,And nothing for the government."

When Representative "Birdie"Adams of Pennsylvania was makinghis impassioned plea, in the. House aday. or two ago demanding the whip-ping post for wife beaters in the Dis-

trict of Columbia, a group of membersdiscussed the orator.

"You wouldn't think,' said one ofthem, "that Adams is the man who,singlo handed and alone, declared waron Spain."

"Who says so?" asked a new mem-ber.

"He says so himself," the other re-plied, and he got the congressionaldirectory and read from the biogra-phy prepared by Adams himself theselines:

"In the Fifty-fift- h Congress, as act--.ing chairman of the committee onforeign affairs, Mr. Adams reported,conducted through the . House, andhad charge of (in conference with thesenate) the Cuban resolutions, anddrafted, introduced, reported, andpassed through the House of Repre-sentatives, in one hour, the declara-tion of war against Spain."

recurring periodically, a physicianmust, of course, be consulted, that hemay find the cause eye strain, dis-

ease of the ears, nose, stomach orother distant organs and removeit if possible. But the separate at-

tacks of headache have to '.o relievedif severe, and in these cases it is bet-ter not to resort to drugs unless thedrugs are taken under the specialguidance' of a physician.

In the congestive headache, markedby throbbing and made worse bystooping or lying down, a cold towelor an Ice bag applied to the head, ahot water bag to the spine, a mustardfoot bath one or more will oftengive relief when many drugs fail.

In the anaemic form of headachemarked by pallor, In which the painis made less severe by lying down,massage of the head or the applica-tion of warm cloths to the head andface will often be found grateful. Athreatened bilious headache maysometimes be warded oif by a dose ofepsom salts, as may other headachesdue to "autointoxication," and one duoto overuse of the eyes or eye strainwill usually, if taken at. the momentof the first warning, be arrested ormitigated by closing the book andgoing for a walk.

It may be said, with little fear ofcontradiction from those who knowthe facts, that if a cast Iron law for-bidding the use of any drug whateverin the treatment of headache could boenacted and enforced there would bemuch less misery for the coming gen-eration than there is for this.

A sufferer from repeated headacheswho has found a means of relief in"headache powders" or other even

less harmful drugs may dispute thisassertion, but the victims of somedrug habit or the friends of onewhose heart, poisoned by acetanilidor antipyrin, has oUdenly ceased tobeat before its time will look at thematter from another point of view en-tirely.

During the Spanish war numbers ofwould-b- e recruits were rejected be-cause of a weak heart, and In theepidemic of pneumonia which ravagedthe country last winter an unusualnumber of deaths occurred from fail-ure of the heart to meet the addedstrain.

Although various causes have doubt-less been at work to weaken thehearts of the present generation,there can be no question that one po-

tent influence has been the indiscrimi-nate use of headache powders.

The report of Trof. Manfredi andSignor Marangoni, recently submitted,gave some alarming information aboutthe condition of St. Mark's. Thegreatest danger to this basilica is inthe foundations, which have been con-

stantly giving way in divers direc-tions. All the walls show such crack-ing and weakening that it leads to theconclusion that under the magnificentdress of marble and mosaic is con-

cealed the most alarming decrepitude.So bad Is the condition of the vaults"

called the Paradise and Apocalypsethat their complete and definite res-

toration is absolutely necessary. It isa miracle that they maintain theirequilibrium.

ous treasure belongs to the world.Who can conceive of a Venice .withoutthis grand old basilica, under whichlie buried the remains of the lion-heart- ed

saint in whose honor the ed-

Dying Rich.'Andrew Carnegie, at a reception,

was asked by a young girl if he reallybelieved that it was a disgrace to dierich.

Mr. Carnegie parried the questiongracefully.

VWell," he said, "I should hate,after my death, to have such a speechmade about me as an old cobbler oncemade about a millionaire.

"This millionaire had been notori-ously close-fiste- d all his life. Histomb was a magnificent one, and onit was carved the Biblical verse:

" 'He that giveth to the poor lend-et- h

to the Lord.'"The cobbler, having known the

millionaire, took occasion to visit histomb as soon as it was completed.; Heexamined the monument carefully.Then he read aloud the verse upon it.Afterward he commented on theverse like this:

"True, very true. But when thatman died the Lord didn't owe him arent." s

The Tiger.Now listen to a tiger tale,

The tiger Is a beast.Who would consider a Wee boy

Or girl or horse a feast.He's just a cat grown awful big.

He wears a striped skin.A cat la not a tiger skin,

But it's a tiger's kin.

There are so many tiger skinsMade up In rugs, I vow

I think the jungle must be fullOf skinless tigers now.

The tiger has two feet behindAnd also two before,

Most all the rest Is tooth and lungsYou ought to hear him roar!

He's nocturnal marauderWlUx black bars on his hide

And fellow bars. He hunts by night,Ami "poe, ah. woe betldo

Poor luckless man! He goes to sleepBeyoath the twinkling stars.

The tiger carries him away;Ho wakes behind the bars.

Peterson eat, lazily sketching in theoutline of the distant ruin,-an- d tryingto make up his mind whether tó set-

tle down in dead earnest at his bit oflandscape or give it up and go off ona spree with Mrs. Peterson. Hestopped a moment, to refill his pipe,and then leaned back against the treeand crossed his legs.

"Matilda," he said finally, after gaz-

ing at the little cottage to the rightfor some short space of time, "justlook at that girl work. I never sawsuch industry. And she's the pink ofneatness, too."

"And," commented Mrs. Peterson,"she works all day and almost allnight, too. Twice I woke up lastnight and heard her in the buttery,working away." , ','

"She's worth two of our Maggie-o- ver

home," sighed Peterson."Six," returned his young wife, In

a determined tone of voice.Peterson was an art leaguer and

an artist. His specialty was land-scapes of a very particular kind. And'he had to go to very particular placesto get his particular kind of land-scape. It happened therefore thathe was summering in Hungary realHungary and at a farm house wherehe could wear what he pleased anddo what he pleased,

"Nothing to do," he told his wife,"but paint away like mad. But I

don't know," he continued reflective-ly, "why I couldn't do this back inJersey. I could, if it weren't for thatbig blank wall of mountain over there,and the ruin, and the funny littlecots "

"And Olga," added young Mrs. Pe-terson.

"Olga to be sure," returned Peter-son, his glance once more returnnggratefully to the girl who was working

"Ten dollar," she repeated. "Howmuch l's she?"

away in the cottage garden.. He raisedhis voice.

"Oh, Olga!" he exclaimed. The girlrose, answered . his call and came trip-ping blithely toward him.

"Olga," he said, speaking to her inher native tongue, "you could FrauOllendorf to tell, our dinner out hereunder this big tree to have. If so beit too much trouble is "

But the girl laughingly shook herhead, and replied vivaciously that itwould be no trouble at all. She wouldbe pleased to comply with the re-

quest. So, that being settled, Peter-son informed her gravely, that in hisroom were two pairs of shoes thatneeded cleaning, that he wanted ex

tra washing done at once, and that hedesired that the large bathtub be halffilled with warm water, as he wantedto take a bath before his dinner, hav-ing been too lazy to take one whenhe rose. Mrs. Peterson followed witha ' few . Injunctions. : And Olga onlysmiled and, nodded. '

"All these things," she answered,"already have I done."

Peterson rose, as she left. "What agirl, Matilda!" he reiterated. Seizinga piece of paper, he hastily sketchedtwo faces one a bédraggled Irishgirl; the other, Olga.

"Look on this picture and on that,"he said. "Oh, for an Olga in NewJersey." He glanced at the ruin foran instant and then slapped his thigh."Suppose," he ventured, "suppose,Matilda, we should take her backhome with us, and forget Maggie.Think of it." '

"But the expense," protested Mrs.Peterson. "It wouldn't pay."

Peterson frowned, "The expense,"he mused. "Hang it!' There's thetrouble. It wouldn't pay. That'strue."

He . strode lazily toward the houseand disappeared" and took his bath.When he reappearedlooking fresh asa man does who has had a bath andknows it, the dinner was ready,spread daintily, under the tree andwaiting for him.

Peterson had his hands full of mail.For Olga had found time while herdinner was preparing to run down tothe little village and back again.

"Newspapers from home," said Pe-terson, drinking off a glass of richnew milk. "It's good to see them."Hastily he scanned their contents.Suddenly he sniffed with excitement."Look here, Matilda," he said, "there'sa rate war on among the steamshiplines. Just '

look. They are landingimmigrants in New York for ten,twelve, nine dollars anything, al-

most. And it used to cost thirty-five.- "

He paused. "By George," he contin-ued, passing over the paper, "it's ourvery chance to get Olga over to NewJersey, and to give Maggie the go-b-y.

Jove, it's the very thing. Olga." hecalled. Olga came. '

"Olga," he said, "how would you,to go back with us to the AmericanUnited States enjoy yourself?"

Olga gave a little scream. "Ohoh!" she gasped delightedly, "toAmerica." .'

"Assuredly," returned Peterson,"would it not you please? You couldthere work only one-hal-f the time.Half of two days in every week, toyourself you could then have."

"And you we should pay," addedMrs. Peterson, "so much as ten dol-

lars by the month."Olga's eyes glistened. "Ten dollar,"

she repeated. "How much is she?"They told her. .Again she screamed

with delight. It was fully four timeswhat she was getting at Frau Ollen-

dorff's."To go with you," she announced

solemnly, "I should so "iuch like."Only," she concluded, shaking herhead, "I fear it should be nothing buta dream."

In due time, back to New Jerseywent the Petersons. And back withthem went Olga their new ten-doll- ar

prize. And Peterson was lucky andsold all the pictures he had paintedwhile abroad.

Olga was transported. "Just think,"she told herself, up in the little' serv-ant's bedroom in the little Petersonhouse, "ten.dollars and for doingnothing almost. I am so glad soglad so glad."

Little by little Olga learned to talkafter the manner of Jerseymen. andlittle by little became accustomed tothe customs of the country.

"Olga." said Mrs. Peterson, "tou

"Swindlers und liars und thieves!"

For ten minutes Peterson and hiswife, after recovering from their sur-prise, argued with her. But to nopurpose. "Very well, Olga," they fin-

ally " announced, "we'll pay you six-

teen and send the washing out."Olga tossed her head. '

.

"To-morrow- ," she answered, con-vincingly, "to-morro- w you I leave. Ihave engaged already been by Mrs.Romaine next block at twenty-fiv- e

a month; she say everybody wantsHungarian girl and she give anythingto get one; she been watching me forsix month; she want me; she goingto have me; she. pay twenty-fiv- e toget me." Peterson looked at his wifesadly. "Send for Maggie, dear," hesaid.

Amenities of War.The amenities of war were being

observed recently in the far East.The outposts of the two armies wereso close together that they exchangedcigarettes, jack knives, and food withthe utmost civility, and by tacit agree-ment the troops on either side dis-

armed and drank water from thesame stream. Nothing disturbed thegeneral harmony except an occasionaldispute as to precedence at the riverbank. This is quite in accordancewith precedent. In several battles ofthe Franco-Prussia- n war the soldiersran down to the same watering-place- ,

and then returned to their positionsto recommence slaughtering one an-

other.

Sheep in Argentina.Argentina has the greatest number

of sheep of any country, but derivesrelatively the least benefit from them, j

This is due, in part, to the quality nothaving ''yet been sufficiently refined,due in part to negligence In the careof the sheep, and lastly to the preva-lence of scab, the curing of which hasnot been, made obligatory. In Australiacuring this disease was made corapvil-sor- v

The dog can't be 'accused of ''will-fully supplying a prohibited person,partly because the dog.; had receivedno legal notice that- - its' master wasprohibited, partly becaiisp the dogwasn't a vendor of liquor, partly, also,because it didn't take the cork outto see what was in the.-bottfe- .

"This conversation made no impres-sion on my mind. That night, vrhlloon my way to the offices of the Na-tional Intelligencer, I heard of the as-

sassination. Already there was a ru-

mor of a letter having been given byBooth to some one, who was instruct-ed to deliver it to me. The fact, too,of my having been seen with him thatmorning was generally known andcommented upon. It rendered me un-

pleasantly and dangerously conspicu-ous during the reign of terror.

"It was generally believed that Ihad received the letter. But that re-

mained a mystery until the winter of1865, when John Matthews, a well-know- n

actor and my friend, told mothat Booth nad given him a sealedpackage and requested him if he didnot hear from him to the contrary todeliver it to me on the following day.After the assassination Matthewsopened the letter and read it. Uponconsideration he burned it. Matthewsdid not remember the entire text, buthe told me that' the concluding lineswere these: 'I know I shall be con-

The death of John F. Coyle, once awell-know- newspaper man in NewYork, at the age of 84 years, recalls avaluable chapter in history which hedid not relate until 'twenty-fiv- e yearsafter the assassination of PresidentLincoln.

Coyle was editor of the famous Na-

tional Intelligencer at Washington dur-ing the civil war. He and Ford, whoowned the theater where Lincoln wasshot, were fast friends. Coyle wasarrested three times and badgeredmercilessly in an effort to make himtell about the plot, of which he knewnothing except that Booth was hisgood friend. His innocence of knowl-edge before the fact was clearly es-

tablished, and he was finally allowedto go free.

Coyle told this story, as he stated, tostop the falsehoods which were circu-lated about his meeting with WilkesBooth on the morning of the assassina-tion and about a letter which Boothwrote to him before he fired the fatalbullet.

"On the morning of April 14, 1863, Iwas conversing with Major ThomasDonoho, when Wilkes Booth joined us.Later Booth and I went into a near-by restaurant and there ho said tome:

'"Supposé Lincoln should be killedor die, what would be the result?'

'"Johnson would succeed him;there would be no change,' I replied.'Then Gov. Seward would come nextI believe. All that is provided for bylaw.'

flatulency, displacements of thewomb or irregularities. All of thesesymptoms are indications of an un-healthy condition of the ovaries orwomb, and if not heeded the penaltyhas to be paid by a dangerous operation.When these symptoms manifest them-selves, do not drag along until you areobliged to go to the hospital and sub-mit to an operation but rememberthat Lydia E.

Erosion ofA serious trouble that confronts the

modern artillerist is the tendency ofthe smokeless powders that are nowexclusively used to burn out the in-

terior lining of the gun, particularlynear the powder chamber. The pow-der itself is the cause of more orless anxiety, because of its chemicalinstability. The erosion or burningout of the interior tube of the gun,which is in immediate contact withthe powder gases, is due to the highpressure and intense heat of thegases. At the instant a charge is fireda great volume of gas is generatedand, being confined in the powderchamber by the projectile, its pres-sure rises to an enormous amount,which, in the caso of the servicecharges in the United States guns isas high as seventeen tons to thesquare inch. This is accompaniedby a proportionate rise in the tem-perature of the gases.

If it were possible to look into thepowder chamber at the instant of dis-

charge it would be found to be daz-zling white heat. As the projectilebegins-t- move down the bore of thegun these white-ho- t gases rush outof the powder chamber and theystream from the larger chamber into

British artillerists have had greattrouble from erosion because of thequality of powder which they use.The powder is known as cordite andthe erosion is the price which theBritish pay for certain desirablequalities which are absent from otherpowders that do not cause so mucherosion.

Breathing the air of crowded assem-blies, and the necessary exposure tonight air which many preachers mustface, makes catarrh especially prevalentamong their class.

Peruna has become justly popular'among them.

recurring periodically, a physicianmust, of course, be consulted, that hemay find the cause eye strain, dis-ease of the ears, nose, stomach orother distant organs and removeit if possible. But the separate at-

In the congestive headache, markedby throbbing and made worse bystooping or lying down, a cold towelor an ice bag applied to the head, ahot water bag to the spine, a mustardfoot bath one or more will oftengive relief when many drugs fail.

In the anaemic form of headachemarked by pallor, in which the painis made less severe by lying down,massage of the head or the applica-tion of warm cloths to the head andface will often be found grateful. Athreatened bilious headache maysometimes be warded oif by a doso ofepsom salts, as may other headachesdue to "autointoxication," and one dueto overuse of the eyes or eye strainwill usually, if taken at the momentof the first warning, be arrested ormitigated by closing the book andgoing for a walk.

It may be said, with little fear ofcontradiction from those who knowthe facts, that if a cast iron law for-bidding the use of any drug whateverin the treatment of headache could beenacted and enforced there would bemuch less misery for the coming gen-eration than there is for this.

During the Spanish war numbers ofwould-b-e recruits were rejected be-cause of a weak heart, and in theepidemic of pneumonia which ravagedthe country last winter an unusualnumber of deaths occurred from fail-ure of the heart to meet the addedstrain.

Astrology and the War

,íL.Ji mmA Japanese newspaper recently re-

ceived in this city tells a remarkablestory of the part played by astrologyin the present war with Russia. Itstates that Japan has for many yearslooked forward to a war with Russia,and the Mikado got the opinions ofthe most noted astrologers' in hisrealm as to the most favorable timeto begin hostilities. It seems the oldscience ,of astrology is still regardedin Japan as a valuable aid in deter-mining the affairs of life, and thevarious aspects of the planets arestudied with grea.t care. In astrologyevery country is ruled by a certainsign of the zodiac, and the fortunesand misfortunes of any .country canbe determined by the beneficent ormalefic planets as they pass throughthe country's zodiacal sign.

The sign of Aquarius rules Russia,and when the Mikado's astrologerswere consulted about five years agothey at once gave it as their opinionthat the most opportune time to be-

gin war would be when the evilplanet Saturn passes through thatsign. Saturn's influence is Very male

Mayor Gibson Loses Memory.

A Santa Fe dispatch of January 3lstsays: A. R. Gi.bson, mayor of SantaFe, was picked up at El Paso, Texas,yesterday, suffering from less of niem-or- y.

He was unable to recall his name .'

or any circumstances connected withhis own life. Brother Elks took Wmin charge and found sufficient identi-fication papers on his person to locatehim as the mayor of Santa Fe. Hewas brought back to-nig- in a

condition.Gibson came to Santa Fe about six

years ago and has been prominent inlocal business circles since his arrival.He was president of tne ConsolidatedCopper Company, the failure of whichhe took greatly to heart. He becamemayor of Santa Fe last Aprn, being '

elected on the Democratic ticket. Heis proprietor of Sunmount, the tentcity for consumptives.

as the sharp nose of the boat cleavesthe water.

Little Excitement.On the whole the race is character-

ized by admirable discretion. Asidefrom the noisy band that ran with theboats the only case of excitement thatrefused to be suppressed was that ofan old man whose son was a memberof the victorious crew. He rushed upto a lady in his party and catchingher by the hands, danced as if hewere mad. Her bonnet was crushedand the flowers tumbled off her bos-

om. But she only smiled and wavedthe remnants of her headgear, anddanced furiously, giving herself quiteover to the spirit of the occasion.

The sister of the coxswain whoguided the winning boat to victorystood on the roof of one of the barges,looking very tall and stately. Assoon as he saw her he dashed up thestone coping and over the paintedrailing. Then he kissed her twice,while she blushed slightly and lookedout over the meadows, too proud tolet those around her see how muchshe cared for the victory. The la-

dies gathered around and smiled en-

couragement at him, and back of themthe college servants stood in unim-

peachable grimness.The whole scene was very English,

about as far removed from the bois-

terous excitement of an American re-

gatta as could be imagined. It wasan instance of British conservatism,yet it was picturesque.

At night a garden party was givenin' honor of the victorious crew. Thegarden was prettily situated amongthe hills. Colored lanterns winkedout of the trees, and quaint old punchbowls, flickering redly in the light,were set out on little tables.

As the evening advanced, some oneproposed that we drink the health ofthe victors, so we formed into a greatcircle that bent among the trees, andlifting our glasses we plighted ourgood will. Then, in honor of theAmericans who were present, I. sup-

pose, the orchestra struck into thatmad, glad, bad refrain, "There'll Be aHot Time in the Old Town To-night- ."

The circle unwound itself and pairedoff into couples and marched awayamong the trees, shouting that tu-

multuous, madcap, buoyant song 'as ifthe Anglo-Saxo- n alliance depended upon its vociferous rendition.

Oxford, England, Is never more In-

teresting to the stranger within itsgates than during eights' week, whenthe crews from the various collegesstruggle for supremacy on the river.The weather is usually all that canbe desired, the window gardens arefilled with flowers, and the quaint oldquadrangles are thronged with visit-ors. The unique loveliness of theplace is never more apparent. Thevenerable trees, the picturesquestreets, the walls smothered in ivy,and the presence of the great namesthat cluster around the university laya spell upon the imagination.

At no place else in England can thoeye gaze upon such a picturesque pro-

fusion of towers and spires and slen-

der shaftings. There is ivy every-where and the plash of Gothic foun-

tains, and, above all else, rich tradi-tions. One of the prettiest "bits" ofOxford, especially during eights' week,is the garden of Oriel college. It isa haunt of privacy and poetic solitude.

On the Rivor.The front of the building is falling todecay, but snapdragon winds about itbrilliantly.

The river during eights' week is al-

ways filled with boats. There is dan-ger of your punt striking the ones be-

fore, which sharpens your zest andadds greatly to the discomfiture of thefat gentleman in front, whose mys-

terious whiskers fairly bristle with dis-

approval. Here you see the Oxfordman at his best and envy him theopportunity of spending fo.ur years insuch surroundings. Here you meetthe strong-limbe- d young Briton, thelatest scion of a mighty stock, bear-ing his ruddy health with the mag-nificent ease of youth. When youthink, of the cluster of towers andturrets and spires you cannot helpcontrasting it with the austere bar-renness of certain college buildingsyou know of in the new. world.

First Day of Eights' Week.The first day of eights' week, which

may be considered typical of all, wasas beautiful as arching blue skiescould make it. A breeze flung out theflags above the houseboats and rip-

pled the river with silvery spray. Thestream overflowed with punts whichleft ribbons of foam in their wake.The sunlight threw big splashes ofcolor on their sides, and brought outthe tones of the ladies' parasols, anddid all sorts of fantastic things withlaces and muslins and pretty faces.The gowns are, perhaps, the moststriking effect of ."eights week." Tothe masculine eye there was nothingindividual about them. They fell intoan indistinguishable mass of whitesand pinks and blues, now one colordominating and now another, like theadvancing and retreating lines of the

ballet when the man in the wingsthrows the different lights upon them.

The course over which the races arerowed is a trifle less than a mile inlength. In the upper half of the riverlittle shells thrust their needlelikepoints through the crush of largercraft, and the houseboats line the crafton cither side, so that a lane of wateris left open for the racing shells.

For. a long time before the race theriver was blackened with scores ofcanoes and .punts that hurried frombank to bank or passed from onehouseboat to another. The crowdgrew restless and looked at itself forthe twentieth time and noted thetwinkle that the points of the sun-light brought to the water and thelong enfilading lines of. the buildings.

To an American it seemed strangethat there were no college yells. Hemissed the pushing and sliding ofyoung collegians with tin horns andwith megaphones mournfully askingwhat's thetf matter with such a one, orwho's all right, or repeating the rau-cous measures of the college cheer.These' were strangely absent. Thewhole affair was r decorously con-ducted as the installation of the vice-preside-

in our senate chamber.

Runners With the Boats.A strange silence settled over the

throng. Suddenly the report of a pis-

tol echoes in the still air, and theeager uncertainty (if the crowd breaksout into suppressed exclamations.Again tho pistol shot stirs the echoes,and then the silence deepens. Out onthe college meadows the cloves arecutting circles against the sky, andfrom one of the towers the half-hou- r

strikes lazily.Then you hear a dull sound, at first

scarcely distinguishable, but growingin volume until it breaks into a hol-

low roar. It is the clangorous, un-

even yelling of the "men who runwith the boats." They are the under-graduates from the different colleges,and each contingent tries to keepabreast of the crew. The cry theygive has not the measured cadence ofa college yell. It is as ragged andsputtering as a guerrilla fire. Thesharp, angry unmeasured chorus risesin bulk until the men along the tow-pat- h

break into view. Parallel withthem on the river you see the slendershells spurt into view, trailing whitewakes of foam.

The long, snake-lik- e shells sweepinto view, the oars tossing up littlegeysers of .water, and as they rise,dripping in the waning light, yoú can

Saw the President.A Santa Fe dispatch of February 2d

says: Superintendent Crandall of theUnited States Indian Industrial Schoolin this city and Samuel Eldodt ofChamita, accompanied by. the delega-tion from the different pueblos, whohave been in Washington for the pastthree weeks, returned to Santa Fe lastnight. The mission of the Indians wassuccessful, as they are to be exemptfrom taxation, something they havebeen striving for many years. Be-

sides accomplishing the purpose oftheir trip to the national capital theIndians had a royal time. They cre-

ated much interest in Washington bytheir native dress and quaint manners.

Mr. Eldodt acted as interpreter forthem and the Indians were taken tothe White House for a talk with thePresident. They thought the. GreatFather a wonderful man and could notget over tálking about him.
