the children, in the features of the aged, in the
looks of the youths and maidens, in the eyes Of
fathers and matrons. But the surest sign is in
the big bundles in the arms of the smiling,
contented looking people who dodge in and out
the doors of shops and steer their way through
the swift moving crowds on the pavements.
Again you see it in the anxious gaze OF the
groups standing before the big window filed
with the handiwork of the men and women who
ply the tools and the looms, stir the fires and
feed the machines the world over. How they
do look through the big frost-streaked plate
glass windows, to be sure. Some, many, more's

of gold stands between their eyes and the
glass. Still their faces seem pleased enough to
warrant the hope tnat they are satisfied.
Others go inside and crafty their every wish.
That's all right, too. The dollars they spend
keep the tools bright, the shuttles flying,
the machines oiled, the fires bright and
the fingers busy. The heavier the

SCORPIONS FOUND IN CANADA.
The Scientists Are Strangely Contradicted
by This Anomaly.

Messrs. Bullock and Webster have, through
Mr. Ashdown Green. presented to the British
Columbia Natural History Society, says the
Victoria Times a specimen of scorpion, the
first of its kind ever found in Canada. 1t was
taken at their place at Sheep creek. Simil-
kameen, and is nearly two inches long. Its
sting is a vicious looking instrument. The
society will consider what species II Is. but as
Sir William Dawson, the eminent naturalist
says that there has never been discovered in
this country any such species, it Is expected
that the B. c. society have secured curiosity.

Goodness Under Fire.

THE night of the big fire on Liberty street one
of the guests of the Seventh Avenue Hotel
was awakened by the arrival of the fire engines.
He did not lose any time in getting up, and
running to the window from which he could
look into the burning building opposite. The
fire looked very threatening even then and he
called to his wife to get up and dress. In few
minutes they had donned their clothes, and she
was preparing to 90 down stairs when she OBJ
served that her husband was coolly taking of
his coat and vest again.
why, Henry" she said, "what are you
doingf'
Il guess may as well save my best clothes,
If they're all I can carry away" he replied,
land I'm going to put on that new suit 1 got
last week" and there and then he made the
change.
This suggested another idea to her, and she
proceeded to put on over the walking dress she
had first donned couple of fine silk dresses, a
sealskfn coat ard valuable Indian shawl.
Thus attired, and it took but minute or two,
they descended to the office where they happily
discovered that the hotel was not in danger
after all.

Knee Breeches Are Not Popular.

THE English fashion of wearing knee
breeches at court found fewer adherents
than the Emperor had wished for. Only four
gentlemen of civilian character among the
wedding guests appeared in the proper cos
tune. Profs. Anton Won Werner, Becker and
Menzel, the great artists who ought to have
known better, especially distinguished them
selves by appearing in the same costume which
they are wont to wear at funeral taking place
at 10 o'clock in the morning or at luncheon.
This seems to be particularly unfortunate in
cident, as the Emperor, in his memorial on the
proper court dress, made direct appeal to
and the gracefulness of the Englist court
dress But then German genius has always
been the companion Of boorishness and lack
of saVoir faire.

the Kaiser is of his English relations. The
Queens Lancers were ordered to act as the
bodyguard of the young and lovely fair sex,
though a detachment of Hussars from the
bridegroom's own regiment would have been
more appropriate, but the Emperor evidently
desired to pay compliment to the Queen and
the many English princes present, and so other
considerations had to remain in the back
ground.

After rollIcking thro' the glen.

Put there by hard, honest toll;
They can be washed until nothing remains
But traces OF CRIME and oil.
The heart can be light tho the hands hard grow,
Muslc's writ with an inky pen,
The muddiest water runs clear, you know,
After rollicking thro' the glen.
Don't worry because your coat is threadbare,
And your shoes don't hold shine;
Let your step be as light as those who wear
Clothes cut from cloth superine.
Contentment robs life of sorrow and woe,
Past shadows can't come again;
The muddiest water runs clear you know,
After rollicking thro' the glen.
Then whistle and sing when the day is dark,
Partake of what joys you can;
The rain doesn't silence the singing lark,
Why should it the song of mani
Look square at the world with your face aglow,
Dismiss the wherefore and when;
The muddiest water runs clear, you know.
After rollicking thro' the glen.

The African Disputes,

THE week has brought us among other things
a temporary settlement of the affairs of
the East African Society and the Government,
by which it was settled that the company
should pay the Sultan of Zanzibar 10500, 900
marks, while the Government collects the Gus
tom House duties, paying to the company
600, 600 marks per annum. This, of course,
means the public must again put its hand in its
pocket and fish out II 900 COO or 15 900. 900 marks
to enable the East African Society to fulfill Its
contracts with the Government, for the society
is perpetualIy bankrupt. and wit once truth
fully said: THE only money the company ever
made was from the sale of its queer coins by
peddlers on Frederick strasse and Unter den
Linden"
But the African humbug doesn't stop there.
A company calling itself, German Colonial
Society," petitioned the Government for slice
of land in Damara country, situated between
the possessions of the Herreros and Namas,
which it proposed tn populate with 80 German
families including 20 men able to wear arms
and butcher the natives as occasion demands

The senate to-day passed bill which
will, if it becomes law, make a number of
the northwestern states richer by several
hundred Thousand dollars each. It provides
that the act which settled certain accounts
between the United States and Mississippi
shall be made applicable to the states of Min
nesota, Oregon, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada,
Colorado. North add South Dakota, Mon
tana and Washington. This act gave the
state of Mississ ppi five per cent of the pro-
ceeds Of all present and former Indian
reservations as if sold at $1.25 per acre.
The effect of the act is to put Indian
reservations in the same class as "public''
lands, 80 far as this per cent donation is
concerned.
