what troublesome in rice culture, and
gives as his opinion that the best reme-

one, as this process will improve the
land for cultivation as well as driving
the eraw-fsh from it.

Lord LondaIe's Arctic Experience.

PORT ANGELES, N. W. T.. April TO-
The fishing schooner Cumberland arrived
from Kodiacks Island, Alaska, brings
news of Lord Lonsdale, who started about
a year ago on a trip to the north pole.
Lord Lonsdale and a number of Esqui-
maux and Indian guides reached Kodi-
ack about the middle of February in a
furnished and exhausted condition, from
the isolated mission near the mouth of
Kuskewin river, which ompties into Bris-
tol Bay. They suffered many hardships
and p%rivations during the journey of a
months duration across the Alaska PEN
insula. Lonsdale was severely injured by
a fall shortly after leaving the mission.
He was placed on a sled, and in that con-
dition reached Kodiack. Just before
reaching Cooks inlet two of the guides
died, and were buried in the snow. The
party was in the last stages of fatigue
when they reached Kodiack, and had not
food and shelter been found there Ions
dale would have died. He stated that he
might remain at Kodiack n month, per
haps longer. He stated positively that
he had enough of Arctic explorations and
would return to England soon.

The Great Rush to OkIohoma.

WASHINGTON, April lO.-No end of
trouble is anticipated from the enormo
rush of boomers to Oklahoma, There
are only about ten thousand quarter sec
tons, and about one hundred thousand
people have made arrangements for in
vading the promised land the moment the
president drops the hat. The most reas.
enable estimate that can be made puts
about five claimants to every quarter Sec
ton. For every well watered and well
situated quarter section there will be n
dozen claimants and they will all initiate
their claims so nearly simultaneously that
as the only witnesses will be rival claim
ants, it will be simply impossible to
determine who located first and hundreds
of disputes will have to be settled by the
primitive appeal to force. 1t is expected
that nine-tenths of those who fail to get
land will spread out over the land of the
civilized Indians, and nothing short ofthe
whole United States army can get them
off. The boomers probably will get the
land and the government will settle with
the Indians.

We Want Self Defense.

A New Yorker old enough to know
better is reported in The Tribune as hav-
ing uttered these terribly reasonable
protests against some modern improve
ments:
What with your murderous railroads,
your new tangled bridges, your ten story
buildings and electric currents over and
under and on all sides of you, your life
isn't worth a penny at any time or any
where. If you walk in the middle of the
street, the pavement is just as likely as
not to shoot up into the air and blow you
out of sight Talk about coast defenses
and harbor defenses, what we want is
self defense. Boston Transcript.

rabbits which had been inoculated with
the virus of chicken cholera or which ate
food which had been inflicted with the
virus, died. but the disease was not COM
municated from one animal to another.

Some amusing incidents happen at the
civil service examinations which the laws
now require to be passed by candidates
for official positions and clerkships. 1t
was at an examination here in Boston
that n young woman found herself con-
fronted with the question:
Are you of good moral character"
She vas very much amused at the
question and in doubt how to treat it.
Calling the examiner to her desk she said
about the question:
81 have tho reputation of being of
good moral character. But you know
reputation is what people think of us,
while character is what God and the
angels know of us, and that I don't want
to tell"
The examiner said she need not worry.

In Mr.. A. @. Gunter's new book, "That
Frenchman," the scene opens in Paris
during the last years of the second EN-
pire, changes to st. Petersburg and her
to the Russian frontier. The
tale is melodramatic In character, as are
Mr.. Gunter's other books, but the author
states that he has tried to develop more
comedy. The advance orders he reports
at 10000. He has introduced as one of
his characters 1.-THE wrestler in the mask"
q man who produced a great sensation in
Paris in 1867 and '6S. This person was
supposed to be some great nobleman who
was fond of wrestling. He was in the
habit of driving to the scene wrapped in
n long cloak, under which he wore his
wrestling dress. On his face he had a
small, black silk mask. He met all COM
ers and was never defeated. Naturally
he was the source of gossip, and the halls
or circus was crowded when it was an
nounced thathe was to appear.-Current

Among other %absurdities we have well
meaning husbands and wives harassing
one another to death for no reason in the
world but the desire of conforming to
current notions regarding the proper
conduct of married people. These vic
tins are expected to go about perpetu-
ally together, as If they were a pair Of
carriage horses; to be forever holding
claims over one another, exacting or
making useless sacrifices, and generally
getting in one another's way. The man
who marries finds hat his liberty has
gone, and the woman exchanges one set
of restrictions for another. She thinks
herself neglected if the husband does not
always return to her in the evenings, and
the husband and society think her un-
dutiful, frivolous, and SO forth, if she
does not stay at home alone trying to
sigh him back again.
The luckless man finds his wife SO very
dutiful and domesticated, and so very
much confined to her proper sphere"
that she is, perchance, more exemplary
than entertaining. Still, she may look
injured and resigned, but she must not
seek society and occupation on her own
account, adding to the mental
store, bringing new interest and knowi-
edge into the joint existence, and becom-
ing thus n contented, cultivated and
agreeable being. No wonder that, while
all this is forbidden, we have so many
unhappy wives and bored husbands. The
more admirable the wives the more pro-
foundry bored the husbands.-Herald Of
Health.

The seeds of intermittent and bilious re-
mittcnt fever terminate and bear evil
fruit. No community has altogether es
capped it. In populous wards of large
cities bad sewage causes it. and IN their
suburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots
breed it. There is at once a remedy and
a means of prevention. Its name is Hos.
letters Stomach Bltters. which is, with
out peradventure, the most potent anti
dote in existence to the malarial virus.
Fortified with this Incompatible. saving
specific, m,iasmatic influences NAV be
encountered with absolute IMMUNITY. Dis
orders of the stomach, liver and bowels,
begotten by miasma tainted water, or any
other cause, succumb to. the bcneficent
corrective named. and rheumatic, kidney
and bladder troubles are surely removable
by its use when it is given a persistent
trial.

The American Flag Fired Upon.

New YORK, April l0.-Capt. Stubs,
of the schooner Carrie A. Bucknam,
which arrived to day from st. Domingo
city, reports that March 81, when off
Samoa islands, about noon. he sighted a
vessel steaming toward his vessel from
land, her distant six or eight miles.
The craft proved to be a Dominican war
vessel. She laid a course to intercept the
Buchanan. but could not do so owing to
a strong breeze then prevailing, and fell
astern half or three quarters of a mile.
When nearly in the schooners wake she
fired a shot which struck the water only a
few yards from the Bucknam's stern.
She then gave chase, but with a good
strong breeze the schooner soon distanced
her. After keeping up the chase two
hours she gave it mp. and putting about
steamed for the land. She was a low,
rakish, three-masted steamer, about 500
tons, apparently of French or Spanish
build. Her decks were crowded with
men. What her errand was can only be
coDjecturcd, as the Buchanan was far out
side their Jurisdiction and on the high
seas, where they could have no legitimate
right to overhaul her. The American
flag was flying at the schooner's peak all
the time. it having been hoisted as soon
as the steamer was made out to be a war
vessel.

War Between Two National Banks.

III bhhhN
PHILADELPHIA, April l0.-rhe refusal
of the City National bank of Salem. n.

offered by the Woodstown, N. j., Ma
tional bank has involved those %institu-

aspect. As the Salem hank receives on
deposit daily a large number of Woods
town checks, a messenger Is dispatched to
the latter place, eight miles away, twice a
week to receive the money for the same.
In order to punish the Salem people the
cashier imported from Philadelphia
thousands OF dollars in silver coin and
counted it out in bags to meet these
checks. The semi-weekly messenger,
Powell, whom the Salem bank sent down
last week protested, whereupon the cash
Ter, yesterday, when Powell appeared
with 81, 800 in checks. wheeled out the
money in q wheel barrow to the middle of
the bank and dumped the whole amount
loose or the floor, compelling Powell to
count out the entire amount. When bags
were asked for in which to carry the
money to Salem, the cashier politely re
spOnded thaeblnks were not in the habit

sent back for a wagon and armed guard to

wreck the same train was made last Tues.

covered the dastardly design Just in time
to Illustrate it. Upon investigation he
found several railroad ties were securely
strapped across the rails; knowing the
limited was almost due, and he would be
unable to remove the ties before the train
arrived, he ran eastward along the track
toward the approaching train. The engi
nccr saw the signal and applied brakes;
but the train did NOT come to II stand still
until it struck the obstruction on the

and then proceeded without any of the
