Natural TiIne-Keepers.

Clocks and watches are still rare
among the people of Madagascar.
Time is marked either by the more
regular incidents of daily life, OF by
the points reached by the suns rays in
different parts of the house through
the day, a method which reminds one
of the dial i'll use among the Greeks
and Romans. The other method has
all the charm of the Shepherds calen-
dars.
According to these the progress of
the year was marked by the appear
ance or the disappearance of birds
and blossoms. The following il. given
as the order of the day in Madagas-
car:
Daybreak about in the morning.
The dew is dry about in the morn
ing.
Feed cattle about in the morning.
Sunshine on the roof about in the
morning.
The day is wide open at 10 in the
morning.
Sun at doorstep about II in the
morning.
Sun over the ridge about II in the

ternoon.

A PLEA FOR CREMATION.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6.-There is a
strong movement on foot In favor of ap-
plying the torch to the wrecked build
ings in JOhnstown; and although the
suggestion meets with strong opposition
at this time there is little doubt the ulti-
mate solution of existing difficulties will
be by this method. An army of men has
been for two days employed in clearing
up the wreck In the city proper and al
though hundreds of bodies have been
discovered, not one-fifth the ground has
yet been gone over. In many places the
rubbish is piled twenty or thirty feet
high, and not infrequently these great
drifts cover an area of nearly an acre.
Narrow passages have been cut through
in every direction, but the herculean
labor of removing the rubbish has hardly
begun. At meeting of the central relief
committee this afternoon General Hast
ings suggested the advisability of draw
ing Gordon around the few houses that
are not in ruins and applying the torch
10 the remaining great sea of waste. He
explained briefly the great work yet to
be accomplished if it were hoped to
thoroughly overhaul every portion of the
debris and insisted that it would take
5000 men months to complete the task.
OF the hundreds of bodies buried beneath
the rubbish, sand and stones, the skeletons
or putrid remains of many were all that
could be hoped to be recovered. A mo-
ton was made that after forty-eight
hours further search the debris of the city
be consumed by fire, the engines 10 be on
hand to play upon any valuable building
that, despite previous precautions, might
become ignited by the general contagra-
ton. The motion was debated pro and
con for nearly half an hour. Those
whose relatives and friends still rest be-
meath the wreck demonstrated strongly
against any such summary action. They
insisted that all the talk OF threatened
epidemic was only the sensational gos-
sip of fertile brains, and taat the search
for bodies should only be abandoned as a
last extremity. The physicians in attend
ance warned the committee that the fur
ther exposure of putrid bodies IN the
valley could have but one result-the
thpus or some other epidemic equally
fatal to It's victims. 1t was question OF
whether the living should be sacrificed to
the dead, OF whether the sway of sentl-
ment or the mandate of science should
be the ruling impulse. Although the
proposition to burn the wreck was de-
feated 1t was evident that the movement
was gaining many adherents and the re-
suit will doubtless be that in a few days
the torch will be applied not only to the
field of waste IN Johnstown but also to
the avalanche of debris that chokes the
stream above the Pennsylvania bridge.
There is an unusual amount of sick
ness about Kernville. The physicians
claim that several hundred cases of pneu-
monia exist. The children are also af-
flicted with measles and kindred COM
plants. The reaction, now that the
shock has passed, in measure, has left
hundreds of survivors with their nervous
forces badly shattered and broken.

Primitive Cuban Farmhouses.

The farmhouse, with its palm-leaf
roof and earthen floor. is not so good
or so comfortable as the dugout which
preceded the shanty and the tent upon
the plains of Kansas, but it has been
occupied by generations past, as it
will be by generations to come, with
out murmur or suggestion that
existence could be improved. 1t is
ike the towel ct tue Country hotoI of
which the traveller complained. Five
hundred people had used it before him,
and he was the first to complain. On
plantations where $600.000 have been
expended for sugar machinery $40 of
the irredeemable currency which the
Cubans call money, and which is ac-
cepted in exchange for merchandise at
a discount of 250 per cent, would pur-
chase and replace all the provisions
for the comfort of the occupants or the
entertainment of the guests.
Not one of the many articles the
American farmer finds indispensable
is to be seen on the Cuban plantation,
and for to come here and endeavor to
run the place as he would find it would
be as absurd as plowing with cats in

Flights of Fancy in Maine.

"Oue winter said aman from Way
back. Il was numbering in the north
ern part of Maine and was at work on
the side of high mountain, around
which we hauled and lunched at noon
on the opposite side from where we
cut the logs. One day, at dinner time,
| thought it would be too much work
to walk all the way around the noun
tain. so | climbed to the top and, sit
ting on my broad double-bitted ak,
slid down to the bottom. The noun
tain was very steep and the ak grew so
hot on the way down that when l

NOTES OF THE DISASTER.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6.-An inspector
arrived from the Woodvale district re-
ports great destitution. There is nothing
IN the town but -four and bacon, and very
little of that.
They put twenty-five bodies in one
ditch at the Grandview Cemetery o-day
Pine boards were put over each body,
bearing the name and description.
Minute descriptions were posted over the
graves OF the unknown. There were very
few individual graves, the majority OF the
survivors being destitute. The remains
were followed to the grave by an average
OF two persons.
The Cambria iron works, the second
largest In the United States, were sup
posed to injured to the extent of $3,00O,-
900. A careful examination, however,
was completed by an expert to-day and
demonstrates that the real extent of the
damage will not exceed 100000.
A young lad named Eddie Fisher;
whose mother and five sisters and broth
ers had lost their live in the flood, to-day
committed suicide while in a fit of des-
pondency, by hurling himself from the
top of building.

THE DISASTER.
EXHAUSTED UNDERTAKES.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6.-The forces
caring for the dead are about exhausted.
Several of the undertakers were obliged
to give up to-day. Lack of sleeping ac-
commodations and consequent broken
rest, and the toughest of army fare, con-
slstlng largely of salt pork, bread and
black coffee has had the usual effect when
coupled with hard work and damp
weather. Notices were posted in all the
morgues to-day stating that after to-day
bodies would be held only twenty-four
hours for Identification If at the expir-
alton of that time they are not recog-
nlzed they are photographed, the photo
graph bearing the same number as the
morgue number of the corpse Recogni-
ton is difficult matter, as the bodies are
most terribly bruised and discolored
when taken out and in most cases the
features are so distorted that recognition
IS rendered much more difficult than
simply the blanched and shriveled ap-
pearance given by laying in the water.

Wild Horses.

We have all read of wild horses on
the plains, says the Eureka Sentinel,
but there are not many people who
know that there are several bands in
the mountains of Nevada. Such is
nevertheless the case, and at least
three bands have been seen in this
country along the high range near the
Lander line. There is one group of
seven or eight animals that is seen
every summer on the very top of
Shacknasty mountain, southwest of
Cortez. An old stallion seems to be
the kingpin of the herd. He is es-
sentially polygamous brute, as moth
ing but mares are ever see in his COM
pany, and he is said to guard them
with a fatherly care. Last summer
some Of the cowboys out in that Sec
ton gave chase to the band for two or
three days. When hotly pursued the
old stallion was seen to drop to the
rear aud vigorously bite the others to
make them accelerate their speed. he
allows none to escape, and if a tame
animal falls in his way 1t is taken along
also. In remarkable short time a
domestic animal becomes as wild as
the rest. Several are known to have
been lost in this way. These wild
horses look especially large and fine
when climbing the preeipitous mount
aims. They can 60 anywhere mount
ain sheep will go. But they do not
bear close investigation. When caught
they are found to be not much larger
than a big greyhound. The boys out
on the old Shed Wells ranch corraled
one last season after two days hard
drive over the hills. The poor little
thing was not worth the effort 1t
completely broke his heart and con-
stitution to be brought under the rules
of civilization. As the boys expressed
it, He wasn't worth short bit," and
they now pay no attention whatever to
the wild horses of Shacknasty mount
ain.

DANGER OF AN Epidemic.

WASHINGTON, June 6-Surgeon Gener-
nj Hamilton on the Marine Hospital SER
Johnstown, Pa, concerning the situation
there. One of them is from Past Assist
ant Surgeon Darlington, in which he
says that he had conferred with DR.. Lee
the Secretary of the State Board of
Health of Pennsylvania, and had looked
the situation over. He further says:
''Ihere IS danger of sickness un-
less sanitary measures are taken.
Corps are now being organized.
Dead animals are being burned as rapid
ly as possible, and disinfectants used
freely. The work will require consider
able time" Another from DR.. Lee, dated
Johnstown, Pa, says: "The situation
here is very serious. A large sanitary
corps will be needed with Darlington to
remain as long as his services are needed.
Make arrangements for at least month"
DR.. Hamilton sent telegram to DR.. Lee
to-day saying that Darlington can remain
as long AS his services are necessary, and
that disinfectants had been shipped. Dr.
Lee acknowledged the receipt of this
telegram, and says further that "tempor-
airy depopulation is being urged. Car
rington is very useful"

Improving khe Sidewalks.

There is nothing which our thriving
little town reeds now worse than good
dry sidewalks. Everybody are ensag-
ed about clearing up and repairing
their houses aud premises, but the side
wal, . TINS far, save in u few instances,
have been sadly neglected. We think
a different plan should be devised. As
it lis, each property owner is REQUIRED
to keep in repair aud good condition,
tho sidewalks fronting his property
This plan, as every citizen in Homer
knows, has proven failure, and we
are inclined to think that it is not q
good on The bullsn aud expense of
keeping the streets and sidewalks in re-
pair should be borne by every cite in
proportion TO he amount OF taxes "a d
by each. As it ~, the c.ycpse is not so
iv',lsd, Tor il many cases there ar3
parties whose assessments arc laIg: and
there is not us much as fifty feet side
walk fronting their property required
to be kept in :rpa =. Again there are 9th
er persons whose assessments are small
and have from Que hundred feet to one
hundred yards sidewalk 10 repair. This
burden thea is not pn torm, and in SOL Q
cases ope' aces ba dship Oh the proper
ty Owne.
IN az much as the repair'ng of the
streets is Under the management and
tont:.l Of tue town council, We see no
reason WY the sidewalks should not 90
hent mp in the same way. We are sat.
istied Il ,his was done there would be
more general satisfaction and We would
have infinitely better wallis. There
could be y small tax levied for This ppr-
pose as well as g repair tho streets.
When we remember that all are inter-
ested in having good walks whether
ley BIZ in front of their property or
not, there could certainly be no obiec-
zion in each one contributing in pro.
pO. lion to his tax. There aro very few
loves bnt what have better KEEP; side
walks than Homer. and as we arc i'm
proving AID building up in every re-.
spect, let us fall upon some plan at ouce
to improve our streets and walks.
