A Touching Story.

Congressman Blackburn of Kentucky
is quoted as telling this story: -Four
days before | went TO the front with my
regiment we had little girl baby.
She is now grown and you always see
her with me at any social gathering.
Well, in our army the furloughs came
very rarely. When we got into line
there was no great chance for a man to
get home. 1t was about three years
afterward that few of us were one
night going down the Mississippi on
river steamer. | had been sick and
was returning to my command, but
pretty well broken up even then. AS
for money, we did not have any; and
the night was hot as | lay down on the
deck, my throat almost parched with
thirst. Pretty soon little girl came
along with big glass of lemonade. |
tell you it looked good to me. She
saw me cycling it, stopped minute,
looked doubtfully at me and finally
came up to my side. You look as if
you wanted something to drink, she
said, and offered me the glass. 1t
wasn't quite the square thing to do, but
| took it and handed it back to her
empty. 1t was like nectar to me.
Then thanked the little creature and
sent her away. Soon after, just like
every child, she came back leading her
mother to see the poor soldier. 1t was
my wife and the little girl was the baby
whom | had last seen as baby just
born. You can imagine the reunion.
They were with my brothers family and
happened to be going down the river.
That was the only time during the four
years fighting that | saw my wife and
baby, and under these circumstances
what man would ever forget it?"-Free
Methodist.

or open timber channels, whera the clay
was dissolved away or carefully examined
for the stones. No attempt had been made
to wash the hillsides by water under pressure.
The third and, at present, the most important
class of mines was found in the fatter lands
OF the valleys, where, whatever be the abso-
lutte height Of the ground, or whether in the
n~eighbourhood OF Mogok, or Yay,Boo, or
Kathay, or Kyatpyen, at depths varying
from loft. to 30ft. there was found q layer of
corundum from a few inches to a few feet in
thickness. 1t was difficult to account for
the existence of this layer of nearly pure CO.
rundum lying on 4 bed Of earth in which no
stones were found, and covered by a similar
layer Of porous earth. 1t was premature to
forecast the future of the Ruby region, but
with the careful handling which it was sure
to receive from the new governing powers
we might fairly expect a rapid development
Of the mineral wealth.
Subsequently Mr.. Streeter stated that in
formation had reached him that the Mogok
town contained 1892 inhabitants, Kathav
1925 inhabitants, and Kyatpyer 1868 inha-
bitants AMI that the Government, in not

parts are evidently covered with steep
and magnificent mountain RACES. More
over, Captain Strachan is convinced that
the peninsula which extends south
WeStWardS on the south side of M'CIuer
Gulf is also an island that Arogone
Bay extends nOrlhwardS to the head of
M'Cluel Gulf, where are numerous islands
and water channels. Indeed, recent
Dutch explorations on the north coast
have shown that the country is deeply cut
into in many places 10y CULTS and river
eStuarleS while further sOuthWards the
Germans have discovered several fine
harbOurS.
AS to the products of New Guinea, Cap
tain Strachan is convinced of their rich
ness, and already the sawmills that have
been erected in British New Guinea are
doing very considerable business. But
we doubt if wild tropical products alone
viii ever be the making Of a country, and
so much is being done in our own and other
tropical c%o.onieS in the planting of tot accO,
coffee, cotton, Sc, that we suspect the
mari ct viii soon b, glutted. OF one thing
Captain Strachau is convinced-that the
native population of New Guinea has been
much exaggerated he believes the interior
to be almost uuimhabited. A recent Lord
Chancellor once referred to New Guinea
as containing a population Of some ten
mi ions. The fac! is the total population
of this great island probably does not
exceed u mil ion, and 500 900 may be
nearer the mark. Why This should be
whether II is due to the fact that the coun-
try VIII not support more people, or to
their constant wars among themSelveS-We
cannot at present say. Certainly the
animal life is abundant enough ; the grass
covered interior teens with life ofa kinds.
On the other hand, Mr.. CuthbertsOn in
his recent expedition to the Owen Stanley
Range saw little game OF any kind. Cap
tain Suachdu states that the Dutch Gov
eminent would be qUite wiling to pnrt
with their share Of New Guinea for a tri1e
but only to England, for they have a
strong aversion to German cOlonizing
schemes.
Captain Strachau's papers and journals
are in the hands of the Colonial Office. He
claims certain land on the coast as his by
purchase before the b. itish protectOrate
was declared. He would also like to go
out again, and go right across the interior
in Il southeastern direction, in it's broad
est part. This would, indeed, be a most
desirable thing to do, as our knowledge of
the interior IS lfdcllcatIy M, ana inc III
ture OF the island greatly depends upon
what it's character may be.
Captain Strachan visited many Of the
islands off the northwest Of New Guinea
and saw much Of The natives in the latter
region. He considers north west New
Guinea to be much finer, more productive,
more healthy, and certainly more pic

NEW GUINEA.

has visited ut intervals during the last ~
years, bgingS with him "A good deal of in

west OF British New Guinea, which he eX-
pl0rpd to a considerable extent, are very
remarkable and if confirmed would make
it one OF The most extensive deltaS in the

river divided mo many branches, but west

which. according to Captain strachan, is n

terror, and he is persuaded that this also
is a branch of The Fly river, which strikes
off from the latter far up its course. Cap
tain SIrachan penetrated for a conSi-
derable distance into the interior
along the border Of Dutch New Guinea,
and eastwaIdS and southwardS towards
the Fly River. These rivers, like most
other New Guinca rivers, are denSely
wooded along their banks, but Cap
tain Strachan states that when the
bush is penetrated, it may be only 100
yards or it may be five miles, q fine, open,
undulating country is reached, covered
with grass, scattered forest trees, and here
and there patches of scrub. 1t is only the
coast districts, according to Captain
Strachan, that are unhealthy, the interior
hills, mountain sides, and plateauS, accord
ing to his experience, being perfectly
healthy for Europeans. Captain Strachan
was also a good deal about the northwest
part of the island, and believes that the
so.called M'Cluer Inlet is really connected
by a narrow strait with Geelvink Bay, on
the opposite coast. He himself sailed for
some distance up an inlet from Geelvink
Bay, where he found the flow of the tide
so strong, corresponding TO an equally
strong ebb Oh the other side, that he was
convinced he was on a strait, but unfor-
t|unately he was not able to prove his con
viction. If his belief is correct, then the
northeast corner of New GuineB must be
an island, and as a matter of fact it has a
distinct native name. 1t is called by the
natives Berau, and its central and northern

A Bright Scheme.

Hartford Courant.
For the last few days bright little
hoOdlums of both sexes, in knots of
about half dozen, have been making
raids into business offices, each holding
a little blank book. "Say, mister, won't
you put stamp into this?" is the in
variable request. Investigation shows
that they are not after defunct postage
stamps, but impressions from whatever
Office stamps, rubber or other, may be
in use. Any stamp that will leave
mark is thankfully accepted, but where,
as is often the case, the impression
gives the picture of an animal or any
thing else there is great delight, and
such offices become as popular as the in
surance Offices where calendars are
given away. Whether the business
men will regard the benefits of this sort
of advertising as a sufficient return for
the nuisance involved remains to be seen.
But while good nature prevails the
youngsters are having good time.
