New Colonial Competition.

There is to be new competition In
the great colonial scramble. The Swiss
are no longer content to stay behind
their mountains, or if they emigrate to
leave the Federal flag behind them. An
influential committee has been formed,
including prominent members of all
political parties, to bring the advantages
of colonization before the public. and
to institute inquiries as 10 available
territories. A large sum of money has
been subscribed, but in any case it will
be some years before any actual start
can be- made, and by then the leavings
of Germany Will hardly be very eligible.
There can be no doubt. however, tfat
the Swiss will make exceptionally good
colonists. Pail Mall Gazette,

the diggers in the face, so to say. Large
portions of the colony of Victoria were
then a veritable Tom Tiddler's Ground,
where gold was to be had for the pick
ing up, for the scooping out, for the
shoveling together. The consequence
was that everybody, from all parts of
the world, who had little money
and a great deal more energy and
pluck, started for the diggings. There
was a proportion of weakened breth-
rem, whose pluck vanished as quickly as
their money did, and it soon became a
case of the survival of the tittest. There
was left q residuum of real ''live men,"
as the Americans say. and those live
men and their sons have made Mel
bourne what she is-magnificent and
marvellous. George augustus Sala, in

The Universal Demand For Smoke and
Odor- Consuming Lamp.
The world is very slow about light,
though it wants light above everything.
There is no reason why japanese or q
Hindoo should not have invented de-
cent lamp three thousand years ago.
There is no new principle in modern
lamps, and indeed no principle at all
except the law of capillary attraction.
which the Assyrian knew just as we'll
as we do. 1t took the world hundreds
of years to get id of shutters; and at
this moment, with millions dependent
on the trade, nobody will rid rs of the
grand drawback to the use of mineral
oils-their sickening and abomin-
able stencil. Purify the oil as you
willard some of the prepared oil
look as pure and limpid rs water-and
still whenever the housemaid is care
less-and every housemaid is always
careless about lamps-the oil gives forth
its poisonous odor. Is it really beyond
the reach of mechanical science to
make lamp which, by burning its own
smoke or other device, literally can not
smell? We do not believe it. but, new
ertheless, though smokeless lamp
would yield fortune to the inventor,
and though every house wants lamps,
and though all men have keen dislike
of the smell of burning oil, the neces-
sary improvement will not be made:
We still burn oil in machines identical
in principle with the Assyrian lamp,
though we have learnt to be intolerant
of the incense and perfumes with which
Sardanapalus kept down, OF, so to
speak, drowned the abomiIable stencil.

and he paused little anxiously, to see
how his uncle would regard this ar
rangement.
"My dear boy" his uncle began in
his old pompous manner, but quickly
broke down into natural tears Of re-
lief and gratitude. "This is more than

retreated.

after him, and a very low but a very
sweet voice said, "Sam," arresting his
fight abruptly on the steps, and then
Argyle's hand stole into his.
"You thought you could steal away
without my saying a word? Oh, you

fully.
"Argyle-I didn't wantyouto know.

and he broke down rather in

endowed with so great a talent for
words as for deeds.

sweetly, her hand still in his.

promise he was making.
"Well, Sam, if you really won't ask

Fox Stories.

Among the Moosic Highlands, Penn.
sylvania, foxes are uncommonly nu.
merous this fall. Several Scranton
sportsmen have shot a number of
them, but the TT fifty farmers whose
fat poultry the foxes prey on almost
nightly have had poor luck trapping
them. Farmer Gideon Fairchilds, of
Madison Township, who has missed
chickens, ducks or turkeys nearly
every morning for the past, has
baen the maddest man in that neigh.
borhood. He set a steel trap back OF
his big barn and baited it with a piece
of chicken. AT break ofday he walked
on his tiptoe into the barn and peeped
out of the little window to see if there
was a fox in the trap. No
fox had been caught, but at
that very moment the farmer
saw a full-grown fox scamper across
the meadow directly toward the barn.
When he came neal the trap he stop
ped and shifted the air. Then he ran
around the trap two or three times
and looked at the spot su~spiciously.
Then he touched the bait lightly with
his paw, hoped to the other side of
the trap, pulled the bait off without
springing the trap, and a with his
prize to the woods. Farmer Fairchilds
said to his neighbors later in the day:
"Tain't no use tryin' to ketch them
yaller devils with a trap. They're so
cunnin' that the only way to git red of
'em is to u 'em down with hounds
and shoot 'em onsthe run, er else to
dig 'em out o. their holes. But who's
got time to do that? I'll never set
'nuther trap fur a fox"
Farmer Jonas Seaver. of Bloomington,
has also been troubled with foxes.
About dusk one of his little boys ran
into the house and yelled:
'Fatier, a fox ez got into the hen
coop n / guess he's maxim the feath-
ers fly. Git tn ole gun N go out quick
an see!"
Farmer Seaver seized his rifle and
ran out, but couldn't see any fox.
q Think / see his head sticking up
over that log out there in the lot"
observed Henry Beckwith, who was
with the farmer.
"If you're so sartin," said Farmer
Seaver, "that you see a f1ox's head.
take this gun au' fire at it ez quick's
we cam"
Young Beckwith took the rifle, aimed
it carefully at the log, at least one
hundred yards distant, and fired.
81 knowed there want any fox
there all the time, but / thought I'd
let We fire at the log s'long as we was
so sartin," said the farmer.
Beckwith ran over to the log. When
he returned he laid q dead fox with q
bullet hole in it's head at the feet OF
Farmer Seaver. The farmer looked
it over carefully, and then, staring
at Beckwith, he shouted:
Thunder an blazesl what've you
done? You've killed Squire Dedrick's
tame fox, an when hefinds it out he'll
be madder'n a. hoe. Come to think
ont, I'm glad he'sdead, though. He's
the pesky critter that's been Robin
my hen coop, an he's wuth more
dead m he would be alive. Beckwith,
we fired fine shot, an yedone a good
deed when We killed that critter there,
an eff Dedrick wants to make a fuss
about it I'll stand him a lawsuit"
Everybody in the neighborhood was
pleased to learn that the tame fox
had met a tragic death, and the
Squire himself said that he wasn't
sorry, because the animal was a nui.
sance, anyhow.

GEN. 6reeDe,s Memorial.

The monument to Gen. Nathaniel
Grsehe, in johnson Square, Savannah,
Ga, is to be competed by placing
bronze tablets on the north and south
faces, with a relief figure Of Gen. Greene
and the inscription "Gcn. Nathaniel
Greene, q friend of Washington, a
soldier hero of the revolution" The
cost of the work will be about $1,000,
and the Georgia Histo-ica. Society has
undertaken the task of raising the mo.
ney. The corner stone of the 1nouu.
ment, which it is Intended now, aftsr a
lapse of sixty years, to complete, WAS
laid on March 81, 1925. by the MarqHis
de Lafay cite. The pedestal and shaft
were aftorward erected, with the under
standing that 1t should commemorate
not only Gen. Greene, but also Count
Pulaski, should the efforts to erect n
separate monument to tie brave and
ohtvalrous Pole fail of accomplishment.
The Greene monument was compl eted
as 1t now stands, awaiting tho res ult
of the efforts to erect the Pulaski mon IL
ment- When this latter was completed,
years afterwards, the projectors and
builders of the Greene monument were
either dead, dispersed, or lacked funds
and enterprise to complete their work.
For this reason the monument has re.
mained without al inscription TO mark
its purpose.
