stitute the mass OF the Third regiment,
Wisconsin National Guard, and they
never looked better than when they
marched gaily into camp today from
Camp Douglas station, with colors flying
and much blaring OF martial music.
There are eleven companies in the regi-
ment this year, under the new militia
law, and about 400 men are in cam D.
Camp Douglas station is little village OF
| a few hundred inhabitants at the junction
of the Chicago i Northwestern and the
Milwaukee d st. Paul, and to its geo.
graphical situation, railroad connections
and topogra phical advantages is due its
selection as the location of the state
camp grounds. The Third regiment en-
campment is the first company by state
troops Of the rounds SO wisely provided
| by the last legislature. All encampments
of state troops will be held here, except
that of the Second regiment this summer,
which will be held in Oshkosh, in defer
ence to the wish OF the people of that
city TO have one more encampnent there.
has already bsen expended here to place
the camp grounds IN very good condition,
but the proposed assembly hall and the
hospital are yet to be erected. Every
necessary convenience, however, has been
provided, and there is fine, broad parade
ground, with good turf. The camp lies
about half a mile northwest of the station
and the white city of tents is fanked
on the east, and In the distance on the
west by gooded bluffs. chief feature is
the rife range, AGO feet broad and LOCO
yards in length, which is north of the
camp and at right angles with az abrupt
bluff which completely serves the pur
pose of bullet stop. The range-house
and the pit is connected by 9 telephone
line, and the range is in all other spects
equipped to perfection.
The great day of the week in camp
will be Thursday, when Gov. Hoard and
staff will arrive and the review will take
place. Special trains and excursion rate:
are being arranged for, and there will be

Material Resources of Japan.

Most remarkable statements are
those made by Prof. Rein, scientist
who has been investigating the ma
terial resources of Japan. They re-
veal national frugality and economy
of marvellous type. The aree Of
Japan is less than that of California
Its cultivated land is less than one
tenth of its total acreage, yet its pro-
ducts support about 38,000,000. The
United States has about 60, 900, 900 pop
ulation. In Japan $500 persons must
subsist from each square mile of titled
land. A people existing under such
circumstances must from necessity of
preservation be providenr, painstak-
ing, Woodworking, ingenious, and fru-
gal. The Japs appear TO deserve all
these adjectiVes. Agriculture with
them is literally market gardening,
because the soil is required to produce
more than any other place in the world.

A Silver Wagon Road.

"You may talk about nickel-plated
railroads." said Vice-President L. T.
Stanley, of Walnut street, "but what
do you think of a solid silver wagon
road? The Horseshoe Mine, in Colo
RADIO, has one, although when it was
built they didn't know it would pan
out that way. They had to have
road from their mine, a distance of
three miles, over which heavy loads
were to be drawn. They took the rock
that had been taken from the shafts
they were sinking, and which lay
around in the way, and macadamized
the road all the way through. The
wagons passing over the road ground
the rock down. One day they had
heavy rainstOrm, and when things got
dry again after the rain the wind blew
the dust off the road, and all through
the road-bed, every which way, they
could see big streaks of silver. Well,
maybe they didn't collar on to the rest
of that loose rock that lay around
those shafts.
They sent away lot of it to be as
sayed, and when the report came back
they found that their roadbed was
worth $500 a ton. 1t was a little ex-
pensive to drive over, but they had to
have the road, and | suppose they've
got it yet, if their mines have held
out. Philadelphia Press.

The Indians are Still CouneiIling.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY. OAK, via RUSH
VILE, Neb., June 13-The Sioux commits
toners arrived this afternoon. The In
dians are assembling at the agency from
the distant cam Dc on the rsservation, and
il is possible that general council will
not be held until Saturday. The
Indians are counoillirg at thei am s
this afternoon in orier TO deol-e upon
their speakers and their line of policy,
when they have their talk with the com
missioners. This agency Is second in
size Of TWO reservations, and contains
5 500 Indians, mainly OagIala Sioux, the
balance Northern Cheyennes, about 500
in number. On the agency list are 1888
names of men qualified TO vote on ques-
ton OF ass anting to the act of congress.
Large numbers of these are absent with
Buffalo Bills company or other similar
travelling combinations and 1t Is doubtful
whether the requisite three-fourths need
ed, are now present on the reservation.
The Indians are nearly all opposed TO dis
posing of any portion of their reserva-
ton and view with suspicion any offer on
the part of the government.

Danger Behind the Boards.

In many old country houses there
are wide-mouthed,d discarded fire-places
that have been walled in temporarily
or permanently, not with brick and
mortar, but with boards. The drop
pings of SCOT and ashes from the flues
of the chimney throat soon accumulate
in a combustible heap on the old
hearth, liable, any hour, when there
is fire in any stove leading into the
fue, to ignite by falling spark or Gin
der and set fire to this wooden parti-
ton of a, perhaps, unused room, and
the press has another mysterious in
cendiarism to report.
The only safe way is to brick such
fre-pIaces. or. if this is impracticable,
the old hearthstone to be spared for
occasional warming, its fire board
should often be removed and its walls
and base stones brushed clean of SCOT
and dust filled ashes, that are SO read
lily ignited else, some night may find
your home cremated. Good HOuSekeep-

MISCHIEVOUS MONKEYS.
Two of Them Create Havoc in San Fran
cisco Bird Store.

Joco and the MADAME" are two
Simian pets of a particularly lively
nature which inhabit wire cage In
the window of a Market street bird
store, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The monkeys made themselves the
sport of the street on Tuesday night,
and those who saw the show say that
1t would have been cheap at 81 head.
In some unknown manner the
monkeys conuived to slip open the
cage door when they scampered out
with rush and made themselves as
free as if they had been disporting in
their native wilds. The shop was
closed. and as there was no one inside
to stay the mad acts that followed they
were not longin presenting themselves
to the delighted audience that had
gathered outside the window and who
watched the Observation-Disclosures by the
light of an electric lamp which threw
its rays inside the place.
For a moment the monkeys were too
full of Joy over their freedom to make
any great demonstration, but they
soon climbed central support in the
store and then leaped suddenly into
the midst of a great tier of small
wicker cages containing several hun
dred canaries. The birds where quick
" awakened from their peaceful slum-
bers, and set up a frightened chirping
as their cages began to tumble to the
floor in confused mass.
Nov they're going for the parrots,
shrieked youth who wouldn't have
missed the fun for dozen tickets to
the walking-match.
Joco grinned, scratched his sides,
and then leaped suddenly upon roost
where a dozen parrots and several
cockatoos were doing peacefully.
There was a rude awakening, and the
parrots screamed, while the other
birds lent their hundreds of threats to
the wild chorus.
1.-The Madame made the acquaint-
ance of kennel of fancy dogs. who
growled and howled Economically as
she leaped over their backs and
scratched around among them. Mean
time the never-quiet joke was scram-
bling among bird-cages, scattering
them right and left, throwing soma in
to pool of goldfish and others among
the dogs.
Then the two leaped into the win
dow, where there were several cages of
fancy birds, on the top of which they
enjoyed a war dance, during which the
crowd outside nearly broke in the
glass pressing forward to get a good
| look.
The next act was to seize an armful
of the little cages and jump from one
show-c~-e to another, and then pelt
the cages at the dogs as they would
| have SHE'D cocoanuts at the heads of
the natives in the land of their ances-
| tors.
Finally someone communicated to the
proprietor the awful doings in his
place of business and he came in with
rush. The incarceration of the
monkeys speedily followed his entry,
and the crowd then dispersed.
