ELSEWHERE we nnblish an ex!

ELSEWHERE we publish an extract from the speech of Delegate Toole, O. Montana, before the committee of the whole of the House of Representatives on the condition of the Territories. There is no attempt made at eloquence or striking originality, and the merit of his effort lies in its terse summary of indisputable facts and his boldnes, in uttering them in the presence of the body responsible for them. His words are applicable to every Territory alike and each of his specific charges of injustice has been separately dis. cussed by the press until it has be- come notorious. We hope the brave words spoken by MT. Toole may awak. en in our national congress a sense of it's duty towards the Territories that will lead to needed reforms in then treatment by the general government and the granting of nearer approach to self-government.

The Poet Grax,s Unhappy Life.

Gray's was, in many ways, a melan- choly life. His vitality was low, and such happiness as he enjoyed was of languid kind. Physically and emotion ally he was unfit to cope with realities, and this though he never felt the touch of some of the most crushing evils that humanity sustains. He was never poor, he was never despised, he had many de- voted friends; but on the other hand he had wretched and diseased constitution, he suffered from all sorts of prostrating complaints, from imaginary insolences, violent antiquities and want of sym pathy. Fame such as is rarely accorded to man came to him. he was accepted as without doubt the first of living Eng fish poets; and he took no kind of pleas ure in it. He was mortified to find him. self celeIrity; he refused to be poet laureate; he refused honorary degrees; when at Cambridge the young scholars are said to have left their dinners to see him as he passed in the street; it was a sincere pain to him. Cooper counter balanced his fits of unutterable melan- choly by his hours of tranquil serenity over teacups and mullins and warm coal fires, with the curtains drawn close
 Johnson enlivened his boding depression by tyrannizing over an adoring circle
 But Gray's only compensations were his friends Any one who knows Gray's letters to and about his young friend Bonstetteten. knows how close and warm
 it is possible for friendship to be. Ar thur Benson in Macinilian's Magazine.

WHALE MEAT AS DIET.
It Is Not Only Wholesome but Also very
 Palatable.


 Palatable.
 Talk of butchers shops. A whale is whole meat market in itself It is float ing Smithtield, marine edition of Copen- hagen fields. an entire Billingsgate. Nobody need ever starve when whales are in season. A few of them would provision a city for long siege. Fortu- nately. as the world grows older, it learns to judge more fairly of neglected kinds of provisions. It is pity that the true value of whale flesh has not been dis covered long ago. How many poor families might have been amply fed if only whale extract had come into fashion years back. Gourmands should also show their gratitude for the gift of fresh flavor. It must be admitted, with regret, but without hesitation, that the list of ordinary articles of food is very limited, and that beef and mutton are apt to become nlOnotonous. even when varied with fish and poultry, and all the eat able fruits of the earth as we'll The edibility of the whale is, therefore, an exciting discovery"
 The only drawback to the pleasant picture which arises when the mind con- templates 50.000 people dining off one animal is contained in the thought that whales, when they are proved to be val uabIe for dietetic purposes, will be hunt ed until they become scarce and perhaps extinct. To guard against this danger we have no doubt that whale breeding would come into fashion. People who found other forms of food culture unre- munerative might remove to countries where the climate allowed whales to live in comfort and establish whale farms at the mouths of tidal rivers. There is, in fact, no end to the opening for enter prise and ingenuity which are available owing to this remarkable addition to the domestic larder Classics.

A correspondent of the Fl Paso Bullion gives the old prospectors the following spirited and by no means bad advice: Get off that candle box, stop scratching, throw out yoVr chest, hold up your chin, stop splitting on yourself, get move on you, buy a toothbrush, wash yourself, change your shirt, carry handkerchief, brace up, stop kicking and wishing and dreaming. Don't be content 10 call yourself an "old timer" don't put all your faith in that old horseshoe, which you nailed up over the door years ago and has never brought you a minute of luck yet; don't think that some tenderfoot IS coming along to bay you out until you can show pay enough 10 encourage the idea that there may be more; don't fool yourself with speci- men assays. You are getting older and meaner all the time remem CT, and don't have bit of fun Put in all tie time you can on your claim and then if 1t don't pay after reason able time, drop ii and not wait for a sucker to buy 1t, the fool-kliler has about cleaned out the mining suckers and the chances are that when you don't think the claim is worth work ing any more. no one else will.

Odd Devices for Photographs.

There are various ways for providing surprising results in photography, things that in one age would have 6een called magic, but in ours recognized as scicn- tific tricks. The ghost picture. for in stance, in which shadowy ghost through which material objects are visi- ble-is seen between natural attitudes and occupations. This is produced by an almost instantaneous exposure of the figure that is to do duty as the ghost. followed by full exposure of the figures and properties that are to appear nat ural. Another novel trick was shown recently in a photograph reproduced by a prominent trade journal, which pre- sented the photographer, seated st a table, playing chess with himself sitting on the opposite side of the table, while he himself stood up in the background looking at his two selves playing.
 The figures were all on the negative, which was produced by three successive exposures of the plate, parts thereof being masked each time by black vel vet shutter. Still another trick is that by which person who likes that sort of thing may appear to be photographed riding upon flying goose, or a fish, or any other desired style of ridiculous To- comotion. This is done by the subject holding upon his lap a huge piece oi white or sky tinted card with the fanci ful figure drawn upon it. His face ap pears above the upper edge of the carc and seems, in the picture, joined to the funny little body mounted on the goose or fish. The statue picture is made by about the same device.-Photographit Review

The Secretary of War in his report, recently made public, speaking of the removal of the Chiricahua Apaches to the East and the efforts made to have them returned to Arizona, says: "The short term of Imprisonment which was suggested as sufficient by the military commander to whom they surrendered was disapproved by the President and by General Sheridan, and no terms but removal for an indefinite period was contemplate by those on whom the responsibility rested for the peace of these Territories and the lives of their people. Not only is 1t necessary that they should be kept away from Arizona, but General Howard, in com mand of that division, Is of the opin- ion that other branches of the Apache tribe now in Arizona should also be removed, and says there is but one relief from the Indians located near san Carlos, and that is their entire removal from the Terri ory"

Tricks Of Indian .JuggIers.

Some of the tricks are performed by every juggler you meet; others again are of such an astonishing nature, and bor- der so nearly on the miraculous as to be beyond the capacity of an ordinary per- former. Of this character are the orange tree trick and the burial trick. If, after having witnessed these feats performed in broad daylight, one is of the opinion that it was an optical delusion produced by the mesmeric power of the operator, 1 can only say that the ability to obtain an absolute mastery over every faculty of the observer is no less astonishing than would be the actual performance of an apparently impossible feat.
 The most noticeable feature in the per formance of the Indian juggIer is the entire absence of any kind Of apparatus His scanty clothing affords no oppor- tunity for conceament, and every feat is performed simply by manual dexterity or is delusion effected by mesIneric in- f1uances. The famous wizards of Europe and America were nothing without ap- paratus, and great deal of the effect of their performances was due to their mag nifcent and costly paraphernalia In genious mechanisms and expert assist ants were absolutely essential to the success of their delusiOns. As an illustra- ton of this may mention that Anderson who, by the way, was the poorest wizard ever saw, considering his repu- tation-made oath some thirty years ago in an English bankruptcy court that his apparatus. destroyed by the burning oi Covent Garden theatre, London. was worth over S80,G00. and that the effort to replace it was the cause of his insol vency. This amount, of course, included stage properties and everything neces gary in his business. A 75 cent carpet bag would hold all the appliances deemed necessary by Hindoo juggler Even I the beautiful butterfly trick he manu factures his paper butterflies as occasion requires. E. Romain in The Cos mopolitan.

A Birdseye View of ftl.e World.

There is @ wide spread demand by all readers and students for work that shall furnish compactly and attractively, all the essential facts and statistics of the different regions of the world, and the races that inhabit them. All this information has been industriously sought, carefully tested and proved, and is brilliantly told in one handy and handsome volume by Onesime Reclus, the famous French Geographer and Savant
 The author has really succeeded to surprising degree in accomplishing his purpose. It is justa what It's title represents 1t to be---a look all around the world-but 1t is the world seen through eyes of the largest intelligence and described with inimitable vigor, freshness and picturesque grace, com bined with studious and painstaking accuracy. The result is the story of he world The more the volume is looked into the greater is ibe sense Of it's wide scope and it's masterly prepar- ation. Attractive reading for the fam fly gathered around the evening lamp, it Is also a handy book for immediate reference for the busy man who would illuminate his daily news with more accurate information.
 In brief, great deal of hard work, painstaking and skill have gone into | the preparation of this volume which is no catch-penny concern, presenting a huddled mass of pitch-forked facts to the innocent reader under the pre- tense of encyclopedia information. It is what it professes to be, a short view of all the countries under the sun, SC arranged and digeSted that great deal of interesting and useful knowl edge is packed handily in a limited space. While child would never tire of the fascination of the facts illumi mated by 375 illustrations of which SG are full page, the most thoroughly read man will find on every page something, the importance of which he never so fully realized as when z geographical expert presents it witt scientific effect in attractive phraseo logy. The man who prepared thii work is a genius in such effort. There are no weak spots in it. The pub fishers have done their best for tht mechanical part of the work and thei enterprise leaves nothing to be de sired in that respect.

An incident happening at Santa Cruz proves that even as corrupt and bribe- taking set as it is frequently asserte these officials are, that not all are the same. It seems that for the past few months 1t has been the habit for resi- dents of Sonora to come across the line and procure such supplies as potatoes, etc., smuggle them home during the night, the guards whose province it was to prevent such pro- ceedings, shutting their eyes to the same.
