shown, or attempted to show, the
possibility that her heavy buildings
might sink out of sight, and one
wild-eyed negro preacher has had a
vision In which the waters Of Lake
Michigan were holding riotous dance

cordlng to his theory, Chicago Is to
be sunk by the weight OF her OVID
wickedness. None OF these prophe
cies have as yet come true. On the
contrary, Chicago real estate is going

JOHN is ponting. Deep down be-
meath the impenetrable mask of the
stolid Asiatic peasant Is pride Of
race which has been deeply wounded.
1t is dimly dawning upon John that
the Caucasian whom he inwardly de-
spises has told him to get opt.' AS
he seeks the reason for this-pout-
ing meantime most tremendously
he discovers that he is not wanted
because he comes here to get and
carry away, and not to contribute
anything to the general wealth. He
Is neither useful as citizen, nor as
an investor of moneys, nor as any
thing save laborer. Alien and
pagan, he is marked IN. G. Return

now hear him clamoring for citizen
ship, and abjuring his false gods and
vile habits.

PIRATES seem to have sprung up in
the Mediterranean again. A Span
ish sailing vessel was recently looted
by them of the Morocco coast, and
within hailing distance of the ocean
lane on which steamships are plying
night and day from the Mediterranean
ports to New York. Is the old free
booting which so fourished at the be-
ginning Of this century to be revived?
II so, the United States, which
cleaned the Barbary pirates out of
their nests and swept the coast of
the Tripolitaine with the bosom of
destruction, must call out new De-
caturs, Prebles and Bainbridges and
do the good work over again. But is
It just possible that the cry about
pirates is raised by John Bull, who is
anxious for a chance to interfere in
Morocco?

INTERESTING RUINa.
whore Vast wealth Once Flowed from
the Earth


Next, perhaps, to the remains Of a
past civilization to be found In Egypt,
the ruins at Zimbabye, in Mashona-
land, are the most interesting OF any
on the African continent. They
truthfully reflect the lives OF the peo-
pie who erected the now crumblipg
piles, and we are allowed to presume
that from the same region was i'm
ported much OF the vast wealth that
made Jerusalem under Solomon the
most gorgeous seat Of empire that
man has ever known. There are not
wanting those who identify Zimbabye
with Ophir, whence the fleets of Sol
ONION carried to Edom the gold and
silver, the peacocks, spices, and ivory
that contributed to spread the fame
OF David's successor throughout the
world, attracting the wisest and
greatest Of men TO go to Jerusalem
and lay tributes at Solopon's feet.

The protection which British juries
afford to men who abuse their wives
is extraordinary, and this is a strlk-

Knight. whose wife had deserted him
on account of his violence and intem-

return home, and because she refused
he fired three shots at her, hitting
her each time, wounding her in the
arm, back and ear. The jury found
that the prisoner fired only with the
intent to brighten his wife," and the
man had to be discharged.
