To have echoed tho moan Of my seas,

When your great ones depart, will yo say;
All things havo suffered loss,

Race after race, man after man,
Have thought that my secret was theirs,
Have drcamd that lived but for them.
That they were my glory and Joy.
They are dust, they are changed, they are gonei
I remain.

DEXTEROUS DANCERS.
Sinuous Siamese Girls Who Pick Up
Straws with Their Eyelids.

sinuous Siamese Girls Who Pick Up
straws with Their Eyelids.
Poised on tiptoe, bending their arms
and limbs back as far as they will
reach and picking up bits of straw
with their eyelids, the dancing girls
of Bangkok are always exercising in
the royal gymnasium. The new vol

physical training Of these girls, whose
ages vary from to 20 years. The
curious and subtle feat of picking up
a bit of straw with the eyelids can be
learned only by the youngest of them,
who are made to practice it in order
to render them flexible In every part
of the body.
There are two long rows of benches,
one little higher than the other On
the lower is a row of little girls, and
on the upper bench are laid fine, pol
ished bits of straw. At the sound of
the drum the little girls all together
bend back the head and neck until
they touch the bits of straw, which,
with wonderful dexterity, they secure
between the corners of the eyelids.
The cup dance is the most graceful
and poetic of their dances. A row of
young women, with a tier of cups on
their heads, take their places in the
center of the gymnasium. A burst of
joyous music follows. On hearing
this they simultaneously, with milf
tary precision, kneel down, fold their
hands and bow their heads until their
foreheads almost touch the polished
marble floor, keeping the cups steadily
on their heads by some marvellous
jerk of the neck; then, suddenly
springing to their feet, they describe a
succession of rapid and intricate cir
cles, keeping time to the music with
their arms, head and feet.
Next follows a miracle of art such
as may be found only among people
of the highest physical training. The
music swells into a rapturous tumult.
The dancers raise their delicate feet,
curve their arms and fingers in SEEM
ing impossible f1exures, sway to and
fro like withes of willow, agitate all
the musles of the body like the futter
of leaves in a soft evening breeze, but
still keep the tier of cups on their
heads. At other times cup full of
some liquid is placed on the floor in
the center of the hall. A girl will
spring to her feet and dance about it
IN round wild eddies, and, suddenly
laying herself down, keeping her arms
the cup with her lips and drain the
liquid without spilling drop.-New

ROTHSCIIILD was once asked the secret
of success, by q young man, to which the
Baron replied: I'D rather tell you the
secret Of failure. Why they fail seems
to be the mystery with most young men.
Here is the receipt. One hour day with
your newspaper; one hour day with
your cigarettes; one hour day with
your toilet, and my word for it the first
position YOU get will be the best you will
ever obtain. Three hours a day over and
above Your routine duties; with less than
that Garfield became a classical scholar:
with less than that Gladstone has made
himself familiar dozen professions;
with less than that Arnold, a hurried
newspaper man, has given the thought
of the world a new impetus in his studies
and writings upon the land of Asia; with
less than that thousand business men
have become scholars and a thousand
scholors have conducted business. Prac-

In recognition OF the valuable service
rendered by King Maatafa in saving life
and property on the occasion of the
recent hurricane in Samoa, the navy
department, to show its appreciation Of
the Kings conduct, has decided upon
sending him a whale boat of the latest
improved model. 1t will be clinkcrbuilt,
of the finest material to be obtained, and
the fittings will be in keeping with the
rest of the boat. It will be built at the
navy yard at Mare island, Cal. When
completed, the boat will be sent to King
Maatafa, accompanied by an autograph
letter from President Harrison, testifying
IL the highest possible manner to the
bravery exhibited by King Maatafa and
his mon on March Is and 1G~in rescuing
so MANY of the American sailors. The
boat will be accompanied to Apia by a
committee of the surviving officers, and
it is expected that the party will leave
California about the middle of August.

Encourage the Boys,

The boy on the farm should be en-
couraged in a substantial way, says
the Farm, Field and Stockman. He
should be given pig, a calf or flock Of
hens to look after in his own right
The writer remembers his experience
as a farmer boy in the long ago. We
were given a little strip of corn ground
for our own. It became our duty to
raise that corn and enjoy the proceeds.
The prospect of husking and cribbing
the grain was not a cheerful one, and it
occurred to US that we ought to have
to feed it to. So We traded
the corn for a pig, only to be met by the
fact that while we were not exactly ''out
of meat" we had nothing to feed the
pig and was in as big dilemma as be-
fore. Then we traded the pig for a
cheap shot-g and the gun for a
cheaper fiddle, which we broke in two
trying to play seven eight tunos at one
time, and sold it for a dollar. With the
dollar we bought stationery and wrote a
school boy essay for the Friday afternoon
on How to Make Farming
Pay" Our decline as a farmer was
rapid but sure, and we snapped the
smell of onions for the odor of disabled
gas jets and became an agricultural
editor, making speciality of such
articles as corn, pigs, shotguns and
fddles. In the light Of memory, we say,
give the boys a start. If they will trade
themselves out in boyhood they will
learn lessons of observation and care
that will bear fruit when the responsible
tiles Of life cluster around them.

the junction Of tbs Spokane & Palouse

railroads. and is situated in the
center of the garden spot of
the famous Palouso county, which has
no equal IN the world as an agricultural
district The peculiar location Of Pull
man requires all railroads that wish to
tap this region to pass through it, which
in time will make it railroad center.
The town has grown in the past two
years from a hamlet to town Of 700
population, and now has a prosperous
and substantial growth. Over half a
million of dollars was paid last fall at
Pullman. to farmers Of the neighborhood
for their products, which is as much as
is paid in most towns Of 1000 people. As
business point Pullman has no equal,
and an invitation is extended to every
one seeking a new location to como and
investigate our resources and our future.

ity is 40 bushels per acre; of oats, from
70 to so; of flax, 90; barley, G5, and

graphs, which, he says, should be kept
constantly before the farmers until they
begin to have better realization of
their power:
They have ten votes to seven OF all
other occupations.
They have votes enough to carry any
election.
They can put-an end to the extortions
OF any corporation or combination that
affects them,
They can put ten farmers into Con
gress and their state Legislature fer eve
~ one now there.
They can make their own laws in all
states and territories.
They can secure the same payment
per hour for hard work that is demand
ed by brain work.
They can have all the comforts and
Injuries now enjoyed by the classes that
prey upon them.
They can combine themselves into a
compact body and ACr.
They can co-op0rato-they can stand
by one another, and thus rule the world

They can continue to be the quiet

Ex-Governor CHARLES FOSTER, of
Ohio, one of the Sioux commissioners,
has been made member OF the SlOuxs
By a unanimous vote of the chiefs and
head men now gathered at the agency,
and, barring his blood and habits, is as
much of an Indian as any of the thons-
and whose signatures the commission is
trying to obtain. The ceremony was
amusing as we'll interesting. At the
council the chiefs decided to mako an
indian of Calico Charlev,n and shortly
before noon thsM4 Seeded to put their
resolution into effect. A delegation of
twenty odd chiefs, led 10y Mrs. Arnold,
teacher of an Indian school on the rescr-
walton and an active member Of the In
dian defensive association, called upon
the commissioner. She carried an elab-
crate feathcred tail dress, an article Of
Indian fnery worn only By great chiefs.
Governor Foster was seated in the priv
ate Office of Agent Spencer when the
delegation arrived. AS soon as he looked
up from his work Mrs. Arnold began
her presentation speech, first in English
and then repeated it in the Sioux tongue
for the benefit of the assembled chiefs.
At the conclusion of her address, Mrs.
Arnold handed the trophy to the ex-
governor, who accepted it with the re-
mark that an Ohio man was never known
to refuse anything. As Foster received
the gaudy present, the feathers iii which
reveal the rainbow in the variety of their
colors, General Cook asked Chief Swift
Bear, the leading Indian, to give Gov.
Foster an Indian name. Swift Bear
quickly turned to his fellows and in
cultural tones told them that hereafter
Governor Foster would be known in the
Sioux nation as Young Man-Proud-of-
His Tail" This was interpreted by
Mira. Arnold and caused great merrimcnt
among the commissioners and the whites
who were spectators. General Warner
remarked that the Indian appellation
would follow Foster to the grave.

How is it that people will buy goods
of any description from strangers rather
than neighbors? Let a man who IS
known in community take an agency
for a steam engine; let a merchant well
established, introduce something new
and really worth something, and some
how people imagine that if they pnr-
chase from home acquaintance they are
purchasing at disadvantage. The
same way with people thinking
that dealers away off are the
most disinterested merchants on the
face of the earth and the result IS that
with their over-confdcnce in such people
they are often duped in their dealings;
stop at home, buy from those whose
interests arc your interests and who
have regulations at stake right where
they live. None of these mercantile
gushers will give you anything for
nothing. and as to the irresponsible
agent from afar, shun him.-Juliactta
