KEEP OUT BOTH.

When we expel the Chinaman to pro-
tect American labor, We must, to be con-
sistent, keep out the product of his labor
when it is elsewhere applied. Our Demo-
cratic friends cannot consistently join with
the Republicans and drive the Chinese
from the vineyards of California, and then
refuse to put up barrier to prevent that
industrious race, when producing raisins
just over the Mexican line, from sending
them in to us at less than a living price
for the California vineyardist. Yet that is
precisely one instance of what the Demo-
cratic party proposes to do. It proposes to
delude the American producer into the
belief that he has limitless foreign mar

ALASKA CLIFF HOUSES.
Houses on the Face of Cliffs Seven Hun
bred Feet in Hight

In prehistoric times human beings often
dwelt in dens and caves Of the earth, as
much for safety from their numerous ene-
mics as for shelter. Cave towns were even
excavated in the sides of cliffs with what
must have been, considering the rude tools
employed, an enormous expenditure OF
labor. The evidences Of this custom are
numerous in Asia Minor, in Italy, and in
our Southwest Territories. To-day the
most notable instances of cave-houses, on
this hemisphere, at least, is to be seen on
what is termed Knights Island, to the
southeast of Cape Prince Of Wales in Ben
rings Sea, on the west coast Of Alaska.
This small island is an elevated table
land of basalt. Its shores consist of nearly
vertical cliffs, fronting the sea, and rang
ing in hight from 80 to 700 feet.
The island is inhabited by a tribal fam
lily of the Mahlemoots, or Eskimos, about
two hundred in number, who gain sub
sistence by walrus hunting, seal hunting
and whaling They pursue the creatures
in kyaeks or canoes, which they are very
expert in launching through the surf and
navigating in rough water.
The summer houses of the islanders are
50 many little platforms, attached to the
face Of the sea cliffs, and composed Of
whale rib bones or shoulder blade bones,
fastened by thongs of sinew to large pegs
Of bone driven into the interstices Of the
basalt. The platforms are guarded around
! the outer side by a rail, and are enough
for family to lodge upon. They thus
serve at once the purposes Of a habitation
and sentry box, from which the hunters
may keep lookout for walrus and seal.
Fires are kindled on them, and all the
ordinary affairs of life are pursued often
at a hight of $50 feet above the ocean
swells which thunder on the rocks beneath.
Not even q bird, bank swallow or an
eagle could have more airy habitation.
Like the eagle, the Kings Islanders have
| placed their eyries on the cliffs to serve as
lookouts for their prey
| The oddly Of these singular Indications
| does not end here, however, since these
| platform houses are but the summer abodes
| Of the hunters.
The winter houses are even more re
markable. To escape the winter storms
the islanders have excavated caves in the
shattered and scanned basalt-in many
cases Of considerable depth and size Dur
ing eight months of the year these cave
| dwellings constitute comfortable retreats
! from the inclement weather, and also
serve as storehouses for the rude wealth of
the family.
There are, it is stated, forty or fifty such
cave-houses corresponding to the number
of families, and to the platforms of sum
mer. In some cases the platform-house is
at the mouth Of the cave-house, so that the
shift from summer to winter quarters can
be easily and speedily effected
| 1t is difficult to conceive of the charac-
ter of such life, on the face of crag, with
the ocean surges beating far below, and the
open sky all around. What must be the
thoughts and ideas of child, born and
nurtured amid such strange surroundings

DAILY RECORD-UNION

The London "Times," having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editorially says: ut would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-fve years
ago, and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
Using them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right

what Kept the Doctor Out.

DR.. j. B. Luckie, prominent physician
and surgeon of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, was recently kept out at
night great deal by his large practice.
His wife suspected that he was out with
" the boys" more than he was with his
patients, and she would question him very
closely every time he came late. One
night, just as the Doctor was starting
home, he was called to see switchman,
whose hand had been mashed Off He did
not get home until A. AZ, and explained
10 his wife that he had been with a poor
railroad man who had lost his right hand.
The following night the Doctor played
poker with the master mechanic of the
road until "a. NJ. A jack pot was opened.
The Doctor held three aces, the master
mechanic three jacks. The Doctor won
$500, all the master mechanic had When
he reached home his wife Said:
Doctor, what kept you out SO late to-
night ?"
e" Another poor railroad man. He had
an awful bad hand"
"What did you do for the poor fellow,
Doctor ?''
He called me with iaeks-I had aces,
and won the-no, mean l cut it off, cui
off both hands, my dear, both hands; poor

Errors as to Snakes.

The Madras Mail contains a copy of a
paper by Lieut.. Ferguson on snakes King
solomon acknowledged that there were
three things which are too wonderful for
me, yea, for which I know not, and one
of these was the way of a serpent upon a
rock" and for years the mode of progree-
sion of a snake remained to men Of science
as much mystery as it was to Solomon. 1t
is thought that the absence of limbs is a
great disadvantage to snakes, but the fact
is their ribs take the place of limbs, so
that, instead of having two pairs, they
sometimes have over 200. Aristotle
thought they had as many ribs as there
are days in the month, but in fact the num-
Der varies and reaches 400 in pythons
Mr.. Ferguson once followed a large snake
and found smart walk sufficient to keep
up with it. Nor do snakes exercise any
fascination over their victims. Pepys
alleged that they elected poison on larks
in full fight so that they fell into their
mouths; but in fact chickens, rats, guinea
pigs, rabbits and hens show no fear of
snakes when given to the latter in cage
a hen has been known to roost on a py-
thon, and one has been known to peck at a
snakes tongue in motion, evidently taking
1t for an insect or worm. When it has
killed its prey, either by construction or
poison, the snake is supposed to salivate or
Intricate the meal by means of its tongue.
This is not the case, as the tongue is too
small to lubricate the tiniest bird The
snake moves its head about the prey, feel
ing with its tongue for the right part TO
begin upon, and when that is III its mouth,
but not till then, the salivary glands begin
TO aid deglutition. The functions of a
snakes tongue have also been the subjects
of popular error. JOB speaks Of the viper's
tongue staying one, and Shakespeare is full
Of similar remarks. The tongue IS really
very delicate organ of touch, for the eyes
are so placed that the snake cannot see in
front or below, and by means of its tongue
it literally feels Its way. The stories of
two-headed snakes owe their origin to the
existence Of a species-BungaraS JasciatsIs-
which possesses an abrupt rounded tail
that is sometimes mistaken for q second
head. The popular notion that every
snake is poisonous is, of course, absurd, but
the proportion of poisonous to harmless
snakes is much less than is generally sup
posed. In India only one genus in ten is
poisonous, and the same proportion is prob
ably accurate as to individuals also. In all
Southern India there are only twelve kinds
of poisonous snakes, the largest being the
hamadryad, which reaches fifteen feet in
length. A bite from one of these would
probably produce death in three minutes
it has the reputation of being fierce and
ready to attack on the slightest molesta-
ton. The cobra is timid the charmers
who play pipe in front of it do not at
tract it by the music, for it is nearly deaf,
but by the movement from side to side,
which is followed by the snake. The bites
of some species Of poisonous snakes are not
fatal at all, and merely produce little
pain and swelling of the injured member.
