Deaiing with the Dead Past.

WASHINGTON, December 26.-The Am
erican Historical Association, recently
incorporated by Act of Congress, began
it's fifth annual meeting this evening in
the lecture room of the Columbia Uni
versity. William E. Pool. LII. d., Lib
rarian of the Newberry Library, Chicago,
as President of the Association, delivered
the opening address. He said the desid-
eratum of our time is history of the
United States, prepared on the princi-
pies taught in the historical department
of the John Hopkins University. Such a
history would recognize the fact that a
large number and important portion of
our country lies west of the Allegheny
mountains. Few of the Eastern his
torians, he said, had been tall enough to
look over the Appalachian range. The
Northwest abounded in unwritten his
torical material. DR.. Pool called atten-
tion to the fact that publications pur-
porting to be journals of the Continental
Congress were not what they professed
to be, but were selections made on some
capricious and incomprehensible prin-
ciple.
A new and revised edition of the
journals of the Continental Congress was
needed for the historical student. In
closing his address. DIR. Pool said there
were many manuscripts of great histori-
cal Importance to this country in
European archives. j. F. Stevens, an
officer of the State Department, residing
in London for twenty years, had
been engaged at his own ex-
pense at the work of copying and
arranging these records. Successive
Secretaries of State had recommended
Congress to make the appropriation for
the purchase and publication of Stevens
papers, but nothing has ever been done,
and Stevens now proposed to issue five
volumes of these papers at a cost to each
subscriber of $500. A great government
like ours should not require students Of
it's history to supply themselves with this
material at private expense. Professor
George Howard's work on local constitu.
tional history was described by his col
league, DR.. A. G. Warner, Of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.

Carriage Road to Pixies Peak.

A now attraction to Cascade canyon
is q carriage drive to the summit of
Pixies Peak, which was formally
opened month or SO ago. 1t is not
only safe and convenient route, and
not by any means a mere trail or wood
road, but it affords view superior in
III extent and grandeur TO all others
obtained from the old trails or roads.
1t is as much of roadway for car
riages as can be made in climbing the
Rocky mountains, and from Cascade
to the summit the drive is seventeen
miles ans .a a
through Glen co7c, an imposing am
phitheatre with grassy pit travcrsed
by two streams. Near by is the prccl-
pice, 9, 500 feet high, called the Devils
leap, and n balanced rock, which may
he swaycd by touch of the hand, yet
is twelve or fourteen feet in width and
four feet thick. The Hayden divide
and Grand View are twelve miles
from Cascade, and here the traveller is
stopped in his journey by the nagnl1-
cent prospect of the great plains
stretching eastward. Colorado Springs
lies at his feet; Pueblo, fifty miles to
the south, and Denver, seventy-fve
miles to the north. -Dcmorcst.

Hc,,rel,cnsiblo. Practices.

Gross and brutal as some of the GUS
toms have been in American colleges,
they are fast amcliorating, while the
bitter rivalry OF classes and of societies
has passed into reasonable good will
and courtesy. But recent reports from
German universities show that the
]udicrous but vicious entagonlsm OF
sscorps" is still about as strong as ever.
There arc at Heidelberg live OF these
corps that include each about 100
members. These arc distinguished by
the color of caps worn. The members
never recognize each other nor hold
any sort of communication. But they
fight ducls with q fcrocity that sllames
any stage of civilization. 1t must not
be understood TINT these arc sham
ducls, for Germans do not believe IN
shams of any sort. They arc genuine
and bloody. Tic combatants always
carry off wounds that give them lie
scars. not seldom ~ slash manning o
fighter by depriving him of an ear, q
piece of Ills nose or all eye. The duel
with beer is moro disgusting, but less
brutal, for no brute would drink more
than he needed; but these young fel-
lows gauge their manhood by the

Fires In Japan.

Tho fire department is under the
police, and japanese fires burn down
more houses than those of any other
nation in The world. The architecture
is such that when a fire breaks out
houses fall like they did in the Chicago
con1agration, and 1 saw statement
in newspaper last night of u fire in
tho interior of Japan which burnt
1900 houses. 1t is said that Toxic
burns down every seven years, and
fires of from 100 to 500 houses are
common. When fire breaks out in
one of the interior villages Of Japan,
if the wind is blowing, the town is
practically gone. The roofs are i'll
many cases of thatch. There are no
fire departments to speak Of outside of
the large cities, and tho six little
steam engines whicl' form Tokio's fro
would not weigh alto

COMPENSATION.

A great many jokes have been made
about the gloomy view that the far

EARLY last fall, when there had been
q good deal of croaking about the fail

was visiting town was asked: ;.

Dangerous Face Paints.

There arc dangerous cosmetics in the
market which ere frequently used by
the unwary or ignorant. Of these, the
preparations which contain lead mer-
curry and bismuth arc the most repre-
hensible and should be prohibited by
the board Of health. In many M
stances they have produced disease,
and in few have proved so poisonous
as to eventually cause fatal conse-
ouences. Every actor Of experience
knows which arc good and which are
bad, and every ono who may be ignor-
ant can gain the requisite knowledge
without trouble. Make up" is pro;
fessional affair, and should be removed
as soon as performance is over. No
sensible actor will use it ut any other
time, and no intelligent actress uses
