CAPTAIN WEBB.
who Still Believe He Succeeded
In His Reckless Experiment.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July 26.-There
are some who believe that Capt. Webb sue
ceeded in his foolish undertaking and tn al
he is coucealing himself to fan the fame of
excitement, when be will make his appear
snce 10 make a fresh trip. A great many
wsgers have been made on the American
side that he will be seen alive inside of five
days, and bets have been made at even and
two TO one that such will be the case, but the
general belief among the older residents is
that Capt. Webb is no more. The general
belief is that life was extinct before he had
cleared the rapids, and that when it had
reached the pool the ~lifeless body was swal-
lowed BY the immense eddy, and that il is
altogether likely his body will never be re-
covered.

If Capt. Cowdon will get three or more re-

the truth of his extract from pages 4l8 and

snow that the copies of the report are to
blame. But if he cannot or will not do 40.
then he or somebody else is to blame for
manufacturing a statement and issuing it

than a few incorrect averages.

THE A AFFAIR.
The wretched Poor Of London.

Manchester Eraminer: The fifth annua al
meetiD- of the Rochester Diocesan Society
was held on Monday at Lambeth Pa!ac..
under the presidency Of the Archb shop of
Canterbury. The primate, in the course OF a
long speech, said ii was mournful to think
that in the ministrations of the ninety-sighth
bithop Of Rochester the bishop should have
to confess that 1t was necessary TO "civilize
the temporarily degraded and 10 evangelize
the spiritually destitute, after the long labors
OF the Church. His grace said that he h lad
been himself around the houses OF the poor,
and be could but confess that the d fhculty
was increased by the social condition of the
people. He had found whole families max
ing match-boxes, working assiduously in
wreichsd homes, payment being at tae rate
OF two and a half pence for a gross OF boxes,
and The workers had to supply their own
paste in the making of these ia boxes for
two and a half pence. There was not much
cultivation in work like that, nor in the
making OF an u ster for four pence, or the
making Of s suit of boys clothes for three
pence. He hoped earnestly for some ameli-
Grafton OF these social difficulties, for which,
1t must be remembered, employers were not
10 blame. These people were not 10 be re-

not be overlooked. He hoped that some

but even emigration would not cure it, for
there was accumulating a large resIdsum be-
hind and emigration always took away the
best of the people.

The Specter Of the TOyabe.

Robert A. Mari, a member of the
Government Geological Survey, in a
recent letter gives an interesting ac-
count of an atmospheric phenomenon
which he lately witnessed in the Toy
abe Range southwest of Montana. Mr..
Mari says: Suddenly, as | stood
looking over the vast expanse beneath,
l saw myself confronted by a monster
figure of man standing in mid-air be-
fore me upon the top of clearly-de-
fined mountain peak, which had but the
thin air of the valley below for rest
ing-place. The figure was only short
distance from me. Around it two cir
cles of rainbow light and color, the
outer one family defined as compared
with the inner one, which was bright
and clear and distinctly irridescent.
Around the head of the figure was a
beautiful halo of light, and from the
figure itself shot rays of colors normal
to the body. The sight startled me
more than can now tell. | threw up
my hands in astonishment and perhaps
some little fear, and at this moment the
specter seemed to move toward me. In
a few minutes | got over my fright, and
then, after the figure had faded away,
l recognized the fact that had enjoyed
one of the most wonderful phenomena
of Nature. Since then | have seen it
once or twice from JEFF Davis Peak, but
it never created such an impression
upon me as it did that evening when l
was doing service as heliotroper all
along the top of Arc Dome.-HelenG

Western Ranch Life.

And here, think l may say, tina
you reach the climax of all the trials
you are to 90 through to become a
western man. You will not be sent
alone into camp with sheep until you
have ''herded' many months. All
through these "herding" months the
life has been getting harder and harder
to bear. One by one all your previous
hopes as to western life have faded
away; all the novelty of your work has
gone; everything that seemed worth
living for has departed from your life.
Your friends calmly say that no man
should expect any pleasure or holiday,
to speak of, for the first two years.
And you see the people around you
leading lives, freer perhaps, but hardly
more comfortable than your own.
And yet now, when things seem at
their worst, when you confess bitterly
to yourself that it is only because YOU
cannot face the idea of being beaten
that you still persevere-nOw you are
set to this camping ga task harder
than anything you have borne yet.
Camp life alone with flock of sheep to
take care of is, as far as my experience
and that of any one | ever knew out
West goes. the toughest thing of all,
even in that hard life. You have all to
bear that you had before. The same
food, the same hours out with the sheep
and in addition, this terrible sense or
loneliness, which, as we have said be-
fore, until you become used to it, nearly
overpowers any stamina that you have
left.
But now if you still determine not to
give in, but to struggle on to the end,
the tide has turned and from this mo-
ment your prospects will steadily i'm
prove.
The first indication of this you will
find in marked change of manner
toward you by the men around you.
This camping is considered a crucial
test, and if you bear it uncomplain-
ingly the neutrality-suspicious., conde-
scending way in which they have hith-
erto treated you changes to a rough,
but hearty and helpful sympathy which
true western men never fail to give to
man whom they consider has emerged
from the ''tenderfoot" or eastern
Hail Stage Ol eAlSJeHce, anu Is now
one of themselves.
Camp-life gives you something to
look forward to; you appreciate, as you
never did before, the comforts of the
home ranch, the social pipe rouIG
the fire before turning in, and the sup
per, not cooked by yourself, and eaten
in company with the ''boys, who now,
for the first time, listen respectfully to
what you have to say concerning the
state of the sheep, the goodness OF the
grass, etc.
You become hardened even to the
loneliness of camp, and have the sat
isfaction of knowing that you have gone
through the worst that will be ever
likely to happen to you.
And so the first twelve months of
Western life come to an end, and if you
have few hundred pounds procurable
either of your own or borrowed st
moderate interest-you will probably
be able to invest it advantageously in
sheep; perhaps run them with those
of the man you have hitherto worked
for. Macmillan Magazine.
