A young woman, whose distinguished
carriage was hidden beneath her mack
intosh, and whose well kept locks were
crowned with a soft felt cap, came in to
engage a cook. An elderly woman with
a lorgnette had come for the same pur-
pose. The latter became a little impa-

subjected and began a little investiga-

Fire In Australia.

In wet weather it is usual for the
Australian ~aborigine to carry in the
hand, beneath the kangaroo skin, a
piece of smoldering wood, which COM
p~ensates the bearer in some sort for the
want of a haDnel waistcoat, and en-
ables him to light a fire at a moments
notice.
One of our men had also a plan on
cold nights of lying down, rolled up in
his furs, upon the ashes Of a raked ont
fire. He explained TO my husband that
the advantage Of thus going to bed was
twofold, being no less good for warmth
than for concealment, especially wheR
passing the night in a strange place,
where the keeping up Of a fire after dark
might attract the notice of unfriendly
natives.
Each tribe possesses a territory CT its
own, and each family Of the tribe has
its own especial tract of land within
that territory. Here a man can light
his fire and build his hut without fear

Scarf. That demand q Pin.

The ~scarfpin should always be worn
with the fiat, madeup scarf. There is
a place for its insertion, and by seeming
to hold it together it attains a utilita-
rian phase, in that it is an aid in gloss
ing over the percentage of madeup sug-
g~estiveness that is always more or less
associated with the initiative article.
The madeup fiat or puff scarf, if worn
without a scarfpin, discloses its arti-
6ciality in all the badness Of its me-
chanical inferiority. It is a curious
paradox in the fashions, therefore, that
the soaring that does not actually need
the scarfpin in reality requires it most

Many stories have been, written
about mirages and d~elusione, but
none have been more interesting
and curious than that of the Silent
City mirage, which makesits ap-
pearance near the Pacific glacier
in Alaska, says the Chicago Her
aid. The discovery of this Won
derful mirage was made by the
indians, who would tell of the
city which was built in the clouds.
The mirage can be seen in the
early part of July, from 5 to 6
o'clock p. m 1t rises from the
side of the Pacific glacier. 1t APP
pears first like a heavy mist and
soon becomes clearer, and one can
distinctly see the spectre city, well
defined streets and trees, tall spires,
huge and odd-shaped buildings
whichappea to be ancient mosques
or cathedrals. 1t is a city which,
would seem to contain at least
$4,000 or 10000 inhabitants. As
yet no one has been able to identl-
fly it, although several have claim
ed to recognize the place. There
is no city like it in Alaska, nor in
any country about it for thousands
of miles. Some claim it is a city in
Russia, others say it is a city in
England, but none can tell what or
where it is. The mirage was given
the name of "Silent City" as it
appears to one like a dead city;
there is nothing that would indi-
cate it is inhabited. Philadelphia

The collective system Of property
must have lasted among ants and bees
for many thousands Of years, for, apart
from cases Of Generalization such as
may, for example, be produced among
bees by giving them a taste for drunk
enness, these intelligent insects show
the most absolute Difference and devo-
ton TO social property. Their print
tive seldshness has broadened out into
a collective or patriotic egoism. But
these very social species, with their
more than Christian charity, have not
reached this high degree of civilization
at one bound. In the ant and bee
worlds, " in our own, there are saw
ages. There are still at the present
time certain species Of ants ignorant Of
the division Of labor carried so far
among their civilized congeners.-

PRESIDENT DAz is not the least con cerned about the alleged Gar2a revolu- ton. He declares the army, railroad and telegraph system go perfect, that a genuine uprising would not live long enough to cry" The president utterly discredits the rnmors that the Catholic church is fomenting the border troubles, assuming that the priests are too per spicacious Co engaSein so hare-brained a venture as Garza's has proven to be. In justice to all concerned, however, the specific charges against Bishop Monies d'Ooa are being thoroughly siited.

Why He Gave Away Overshoes.

"We have shoemaker in our town" !" says Quebec man, 'whose business in selling overshoes has been ruined by a hustling rubber house, and who, this winter, to get even, had great opening sale, at which he gave to every purchaser of shoes pair of rubber overshoes, upon the soles of which was his advertisement reversed so that at every step the wearers take through the snow they leave his advertisement neatly printed in their tracks.

SOME STRAIGHT questions asked by "a Republican" in last nights Herald are timely and to the point. There are plenty of competent Republicans to fill the places, ,snd no reason exists why Demo- crat should be appointed by Republi- can administration or allowed to hold over under one. When Democrats have been in power they have very promptly and properly removed such Republicans as did not resign, and the same rule should apply with Republicans in the saddle. The Republican party of Arizona demands that the Democrats now in office be removed and their places filled with competent Republicans. "TO the victors belong the spells" is just as good doctrine now as when uttered by Jackson.

Ir SEEMS that the Southern Pacific Railroad is about to construct line from Phoenix, Arizona, to Prescott, the former capital of that territory, says the Den yer Republican. If this line were built the Southern Pacific and the Atlantic X Pacific would be connected by rail, for there is already a road from the latter to Prescott. The proposed road ought to have been built long ago. There are no very serious natural obstacles in the way of its construction, and it would greatly stimulate the growth of Phoenix, Pres colt and the intermediate country.

IT Is STRANGE that any member oi
 congress should attempt, as Represent
 ative Miller of Wisconsin has, to secure a change in the Constitution which
 would give the statesan unequal repre- sentation in the United States senate.
 He proposes that each state shall have one senator and an additional one for each ,0O0, 900 inhabitants. This is rad ically wrong, because it proceeds on an
 entirely erroneous conception of the character of the American Union. This is a union of states, which in their re- lation to one another are perfectly equal. The senate is the body in which the states, as such, are represented, and therefore their representation must be equal. The house is the body in which the representation is based upon popu- lation. But apart from consideration of this sort, Mir. Milier's proposition is but little better than absurd, for iJ is the next thing too absurd to suppose that any state would consent 10 accept an unequal representation in the senate. Upon every point but this, the consti- tuition can be amended by the afiirma- tive vote of three-iourths of the states. But the constitution contains a provis- ion that no state shall be deprived of its equa! representation without it's con- sent. Little states like Vermont, Della ware and Rhods Island, would never consent. It would require the unani' nous vote of the states to make this change, and this could never be secured.

The United States will not force war on Chili. A conflict will be avoided if Chili does the right thing. An apology is due this country for the assault upon seamen of one of our vessels, who, at the time of the assault, were wearing the American uniform. The fact that the
 assaulting party was composed of a rough class of the population makes no difference as far as Chili's obligation to apologize and make reparation is con cerned. If either country should suffer from the existance of such people in Val paraiso it is Chi!i and not the United

have been pretty thoroughly con vinced for years that not one person in five knows when this century will close, but 1 was much surprised to find the statement that but about eight years of this century remain. This would make 1899 the last year of this decade and cen tury. The matter is important enough to correct, and is very easily mado clear. The First century closed with the last day of the year 100; the Second with the last day of the year 900, and the Nine teenth century will end with the last day of the year 1900, which is nine years from New Year Day, lS92.--J.
