his wrath ON party of braves who hae
essayed to cross the waters. He had
called the god of the north wind to his
aid and engulfed the venturesome red
men by means of fierce storm. From
that on the Indian Lucifer had things his
own way until the arrival of the pale
face, who laughed his power toscorn and
set afloat small steamer.
AS the vessel met with no disaster, the
awe of the Sioux was finally changed to
contempt for his satanic majesty, and
they now paddle about the islands oil
swim at will in the shadows along the
beach. Yet the charm of mystery still
fingers, and even white residents tell
strange stories of spectral boats that go
gliding by at night from nowhere unto
nowhere, and assert that when the ice
breaks up in the spring it sinks at once
to the bottom. Devils lake is gradually
growing smaller in size, and its waters
are becoming slightly saline. The shores
are strewn with bowlders, agates ana
various sorts OF rocks, which, either be-
cause of glacial action or some convu!-
sion of nature, display curious shapes.
The lake has no visible outlet, and but
small apparent supply.
Pend d'Oreille lake in Montana shows
near its center point of rock which no
Indian, even to this day, can be induced
to pass, fearing that the Great Spirit in
such an event will create a commotion
and cause him to be swallowed up by
the waves. Near Pend d'Oreille the
aborigines say there is a never freezing
body of water surrounded by high and
precipitous rocks which no one has ever
been able to descend. Peering over the
cliffs one may see countless buffalo,
deer, elk and other game disporting
themselves in the depths of the trans
parent waters. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that no white man has ever viewed
this remarkable phenomenon.

The Mckinley bill lately passed by the
house of representatives, which is being
attacked so fercely before the senate
committee, contains three important
features One is the simplitication of
methods of collecting revenue, and to
that there is comparatively little objec-
ton. Another makes important distinc-
tions between goods sold by sample and
those sold in actuality, and to this there
is a great deal of objection, especially in
New York. The third settles some dis
putes as to the rates of duty to be charged
ON goods liable to different classifcations,
generally fixing the higher rate, and de-
prives the importer of the right to jury
trial of such issues, and to these provis-
ions there is very heated opposition.

tile fields, but there is nothing strange
about that, for the veriest school boy can
reason from the cause to the effect of the
flood. The thirteen colonies of the last
century are the United States of today,
but the progress from provinces to re-
public was along lines that, while indi-
eating gigantic development under great
trials, show nothing miraculous in the
outcome. But the occurrence of strange
events in strange localities is a matter
that can never fail to attract the atten-
tion as well of the busy citizen as the
contemplative philosopher.
On the islands of Lake Titicaca the re-
ligion of Nance Capac and the long sue
cession of the Incas had their origin. BY
the shores of the great Salt Lake of Utah
Brigham Young founded colony and
perfected creed. Each body of water
in its way is as peculiar as the people
who lived and planned and struggled
along its banks.
Lake Titicaca lies in Peru at a height
of nearly 1900 feet above the level of
the sea. Yet despite this unusual eleva-
ton and the cold of the surrounding
country, the large oval of waterloo
miles at its greatest length and 60 miles
wide-never freezes and diffuses over
the islands within it's circumference, and
the land coming Immediately under the
influence of its moisture, a warmth
which renders the soil capable of pro-
ducing crops naturally indigenous to a
much lower level. Enormous springs at
intervals bubble up iii steaming clouds
through the ordinarily placid waters,
and sometimes, while skies are clear and
no wind blows, vast waves roll from
shore to shore with mighty wrath.

NlGHTFALL.

Swiftly the shadows of the night around us fall,
Come, let us kneel before our God and pray,
And while on him for mercies new we call
Praise him whose love has kept us through the
day
Not more Of evil turks in mdnight's hour
Than stalks abroad at golden tide of noon;
In both alike we need his keeping power
Could he forget then i'll would come how soonl
But he doth net forget nor doth he sleep;
And we are safe in his all watchful care
By day, by night he condescends to keep
Those who commit themselves to him in prayer.
There is houe where shadows never fall
Nor sin nor danger ever enter there
Where wcariuess doth neer to slumber CALI
Ian Of praise that hath no need of prayer
Unto that ho;le, o Father, lead our way,
And while we lnger in this alien land,
In mercy hear us while to thee we pray
Still guard and gude us by thy loving hand.

Light and DARK Cigars.

In reference to the distinction between
light and dark cigars, smokers nearly al
ways express a preference for one CIR the
other, but they get practically the same
thing The difference lies only in the
wrapper, although the general impress

stronger. Nearly all brands of cigars
have two shades, but the filling is the
same in both. have told my customers

To this mysterious land, in the days
when the world was young, came Nance
Capac, the child of the sun. He looked
about him and saw the world buried in
ignorance and savage brutishness. He
founded the long line of Incas, made
Peru the treasure house of the western
world, and established a unique civiliza-
tion which gave way, after the lapse of
centuries, before the blows Of the Span
ish conqueror But to this hour the peon
remnant of the once ruling race looks to
the mysterious waters of the sacred lake
for the appearance of deliverer, and
views with eXpectant awe the unex-
plainable convulsions that agitate their
bosom.
Over tracklcss plains and through
uncounted pei'ils the Mormons of a
past generation made their way to
the territory now known as Utah, and
pitched their tents in a barren land by
the shores Of the great Salt lake. Their
environment was as singular as their be-
lief. Before them lay body of water
clear and green. in whose depths life be-
came death, and whose shores glittered
not with the varied hues of vegetation,
but with the white brilliance of innumer-
able crystals. Within the limit of the
lakes influence boiled and bubbled un-
counted pools; here one scalding hot,
and there one icy cold, and again an
other seething with carbonic acid gas.
Strange streams ran into the saline reser-
voir, whose waters were clear and taste
less, but which stained with brown
everything. they touched. Yet in this
locality, apparently cursed by nature
with barrenness and desolation, the pill
grims from the east set to work. How
they caused the desert to blossom like
the rose, and how they perfected The de-
tails of a spiritual despotism are matters
too well known to demand anything fur
ther than a passing reference.

Recent discussions on the Blair bill
to extend Federal aid to education in the
states have made prominent the facts
that there are now about / 100000 col
ored children in the common schools of
the south and nearly 100000 more in
private schools, academies and colleges.
Of the colored schools to which the lat
ter title is given, at least thirty rank as
high as the average college in the north.
Thirty colleges for colored students and
100000 colored children in school is
certainly a marvellous exhibit for a re-
Cion SO lately prostrated by war.

Speaking of transparent lakes, how
ever, there is one-not mythical, but ac-
tual-which is among the world is most
famous beauty spots. 1t is that dainty
gem in the Yosemite valley called Mirror
lake. Only mile in circumference, it
seems to have been placed there for the
encircling mountains to see their forms
and faces in. The remarkable clearness
of the water and of the surrounding at
mosphere makes the reflected images of
the rocks and trees almost as distinct
and sharply defined as the actual objects.
Arouad the most hideous thing that
receives the geographical name of lake
cluster the horrible traditions of the vilest
superstition that ever distorted the brain
of even barbarian man. The sheet of
water, so called, is Pitch lake, thirty-six
miles from Port of Spain, in Trinidad,
and its gloomy offensiveness has made
it a fit place for the celebration of
the awful rites of voudoo This
famous cesspool, for it can hardly

ported that the leyee had given way at
the foot of Fountain street. A general
alarm was sounded, and the people re-
sponded promptly to the call. This
break was closed, but on examination it
was found that the rising river was run

All that human effort could do had
been done, and then the confusion of
the people can be better imagined than
