II IS said that France and Germ

IT Is said that France and Germany
are, on small scale, fighting on the
Island of Hayti. France is backing
Legitime, so the report goes, while
Germany is bracing up Hippolyte. In
this condition of things it makes very
little difference 10 the Haytians them
selves which side wins. Indeed, as a
matter of fact, the people of the island
even if neither France nor Germany
are interested in the dispute, have
nothing to gain from the contest
whichever leader comes ont ahead. 1t
is simply struggle for power be-
tween ambitious chieftains, in which
no principle of any value whatever
to the country is involved.

UNDOUBTEDLY Germany has now,
and has previously had, spies in this
country inspecting its coast defenses,
navy and military system. 1t is part
of Germany's policy to learn all it can
of every other nations strength for
offensive or defensive operations, for
war between Germany and every other
nation, at some time in the future, is
deemed by the Government of that
country to be among the probabilities.
The United States has no spies abroad,
because both its traditions and its
sentiments are opposed to war Unless
in defense of its honor or the inter
ests of its citizens. A time may come,
however, when the United States will
be constrained to adopt some of the
deyices of European despotisms in
order to defeat their schemes.

Importance to the entire Territory
have been made laws. Some that

A Profitable Hand Shaking.

1t was some years since, in the Ozark
region of Missouri, where was riding a
circuit, that I saw minister enjoy most
substantial hand-shaking. Shaking
hands was his popularity. He believed
in the potency of cordial grasp to win
men to the church. And though success
full in winning souls, he was very unfor-
tunate in the matter of getting dollars.
In fact, poverty continually stared him in
the face. He owned little farm and
mortgagcd it as long as it would yield a
dollar. The mortgages were falling due,
but there was no prospect of paying them.
But it did not bother him bit. He
shook hands more heartier than ever. ~
have unbounded faith in hand-shaking to
bring everything out right, he often said,
until his penchant came to be the talk of
the town. At last came the day when
the mortgages must be foreclosed that
would deprive him Of the little home that
sheltered his family. On the eve of that
day knock at the door of his house,
which was little way from town, called
him. When he opened the door whole
crowd rushed in and, without saying a
word, commenced shaking hands. He
felt something cold in the hand of the
first man, and when the hand was with
drawn it stuck to his own. "That is the
st substantial shake | ever expert
enced, he said, as he held up $5 gold
piece. But the next man stepped up and
a silver dollar was left in the preachers
palm. No one would say word in ex-
planation, but pressed in on him as fast
as he could stick the metal and bills into
his pockets. The house was not large
enough for the visitors, each one of whom
deposited from 81 to SO in the out
stretched hand. Each left the moment
his little errand was accomplished, and
not word could be had il explanation,
except the last one, who, as he turned to
go, remarked: "We wanted to play a
little joke on you, and we have" The
several "jokes" netted just S7S1. His
home was saved and a neat balance was
left besides. The minister maintained
that he had contracted habit that night
that for a year afterward when he shook
hand prompted him to look into his
own palm, half expecting to see piece OF
metal there.-,St. Louis Globe Democrat.

brig had been boarded by boat from
one of the mail steamers plying between
the big island and New Zealand. My
explanations astonished and astounded
the men, and after had been taken off
to the steamer, and given all the details
to the Captain, he took the brig in tow
and continued his course for Sidney.
There the story was told and retold,
but with very little satisfaction to any
one. A craft was sent out in search OF
the lost yawl and the hulk, but neither
could be found. The general idea at
Sidney was that the Captain and sailor
both got drunk that night, and somehow
got overheard, but no one could even
guess the calamity which befell the
yawl.-NeU York Sun.

Battle With a Boa Constructor.

One of the most perilous battles be-
tween a woman and large boa con-
stricter occurred at Grand View re-
Gently, says the Kansas City 1roce'er.
About Z o'clock, as Mrs. H. n Strait, the
handsome and accomplished young wife
of Ii. N. Strait, of the Wyandotte
Plumbing Company, descended into the
cellar of their residence on Sixteenth
street, Grand View, she was startled by
loud hiss and two fiery red eyes looking
at her. Returning with lamp, the lady
discovered large snake coiled around
piece of wood. Taking coal shovel in
her hand, Mrs. Strait prepared to do
battle with the monster. The first blow
seemed to infuriate the reptile, and, with
a loud hiss, it sprang at the now
thoroughly alarmed but brave woman.
A blow from the shovel knocked the
thrust aside, and with the rapldity of
lightning the snake again prepared to
strike. Five consecutive times did the
huge monster retreat, and then plunge
through the dimly lighted air at the
woman who was so nobly defending her
self. At last we'll directed stroke
knocked the reptile to the floor and seemed
to stun it for moment. The glistening
eyes had become two fascinating balls of
flame, and the great fangs worked with
awful velocity. Following up the blow,
Mrs. Strait succeeded in killing the boa,
and with fast-failing strength she reached
the floor above, where help soon reached
her.
Mr.. Strait is in Wyoming Territory,
where he is largely interested in a newly
discovered mica mine, and his wife was
alone with the servants. A party of neigh
bors were summoned and the snake
carried into the woodshcd. 1t proved to
be a>boa constructor and measured eleven
feet and'eight inches from the head to the
tip offhe tail. 1t is supposed to have
escaped from some menagerie.

The Buckinq Horse.

Most persons who have witnessed the
vicious and acrobatic antics of the "buck
ing bronco" IN Buffalo Bills and other
wild Western shows have supposed that
the animals were merely acting a part to
which they had been trained, like the
trick-mule of the circus. The fact is
that these traits are in the nature of the
beast; and what the horses do on exhi-
bition is as nothing to the diabolical con-
tortions which they go through when
endeavoring to unseat a cowboy rider on
their native prairies. The broncos of the
Southwest, like the cross-bred Indian and
cayuse ponies of Montana, are not usually
broken until they are four or five years
old, and then their training is of the
rudest and most impromptu character.
Individual animals, like individual men,
exhibit tempers and idiosyncrasies of their
own; but even the best-tempered cow
ponies will sometimes buck on frosty
morning. Such ''mavericks" are turned
over to hands who make speciality Of
conquering horses that are determined
not to be ridden; for great many thor
ough cowboys who are good horsemen in
the sense of being able to get the bes1
work out of their string of steeds in o
roundup do not pretend to be able to sit
a hard pitching or vicious animal. Ths
horse tanner, with his wonderful lariat,
brings the rebellious horse to the ground by
a moose around one of the fore feet; then
he mounts, and pursues his daredevil,
anti-bucking tactics until the shaggy pony
is dazed and cowed into meek submission

Gold Plating the Human Body.

There is st. Louis gentleman engaged
in the silver and gold electroplating busi
ness, who has for five years been engaged
in private laboratory upon series OF
remarkable experiments, the object OF
which is to supplant the present art OF
embalming the dead by silver or gold
plating the human body. The electro
plating process would, of course, present
hermetic surface, and the body if pre-
pared as now for embalming and then put
through silver or gold bath would keep
forever. An egg electroplated seven
years ago, when recently opened was
found to be as fresh as the day when it
was laid. The experimenter had pro-
gressed a long way when he succeeded in
plating a chunk of cheese, and later on he
succeeded in preparing successfully the
human leg. His experiments are con-
ducscd with great secrecy. 1t is probable
that q really beautiful way of preserving
the bodies of the dead has been dis
covered The advantages of silver-plated
ancestors mounted on pedestals as statuary
are at once apparent Star Sayings,

Our Far Alaskan Citizens.

A writer familiar with the unciviliZed
Esquimaux of far Northern Alaska says
that they are the most abject beings he
ever saw. They neither wash nor comb
their hair, and they wear dirty, filthy
garments year in and year out. Esqui-
mau means ''raw flesh eater" their diet
is chiefly fish and game, kept until it's
in state of putrefaction, when to them
it is most delicious. Raw blubber of the
whale is great delicacy. Their man
ner of eating is dog-like. Fixing their
teeth in piece Of blubber, with dull
knife they saw off the-portion which the
mouth win not admit. The men hunt
alM fish, while all-other work is done by
the women. The old-time custom OF
tattooing the face, arms and breast is still
practised. The women wear ivory studs
in the lower lip, in which is inserted
their sewing needle for convenience
when not in use. The men also have
these apertures with hone or ivory studs
in their ears, in which rings are inserted,
This same fashion. prevails largely in
southeastern Alaska. ''Out of the
fashion, out Of the world" is as true OF
them lbs of us. There is much caste
among them, and it would be hard to
find more conservative and conven-
tional people e-Sitka alaskan.

OUR FLAG.

At the recent sinking of the war ships at
Apia the Captain of one of them ordered the
dag unfurled. The men on board another or
the doomed vessels greeted it with cheer,
which was responded to with their last breath
by the loyal Captain and his men.
Across the peach-blow sky of spring
The storm-dark clouds are looming;
With sullen voice the breakers ring,
The thunder loudly booming.
The huddled war ships ride apace,
Each at her anchor straining;
Black, black, is all of heavens face;
1t lightens 'twixt the raining.
Like crumpled rose leaves the mist edge
The hidden reef enwreathing,
But cruel as hell the jagged ledge
Beneath those waters seething.
On, on they come, the poor dumb things,
The storm winds fiercely driving;
AT her dread work each breaker sings,
For conquest madly striving.
eff we must dien-the leaders voice
Outswelled the roar of thunder
, sat is our own and solemn choice
! To die our dear flag under.
s.For us to-day the battle field
IS vshere the seas are lying.
. We claim right we cannot yield,
To glory in our dying"
He ceased; upon the topmost mast
The Stars and Stripes were floating.
The sight is like a trumpet blast,
And other ships quick noting.
Up to the sky hAr",sounds cheer
That starts bes flying.
Back comes fver, loud and clear,
, From GALL arts, though dying.
! A moments e, the waves in brine
Baptizet' Ag low lying,
And from ,.ie breakers comes no sign
OF living or of dying.
o flag, dear fag once more thy name,
As always in thy story,
Has set thousand hearts aflame
For thee and for thy glory
Annie b. King, in Harper's Bosor.
