coke there are pyramids of quality
which is nowhere eXcelled and
which comes from measures
whose depth no man can fathom. OF
timber there are specimens of all sorts
and sizes from forests that have no
equal on the globe. OF grasses, fruits
and cereals there are marvellous dis
plays from lands that have been I'M
rivalled in productiveness since the

sluggish waters were lost in the blue
depths of the Mediterranean ruled the

depths of the grandest of all the inlets
of the seas and from the clear waters of
the streams that drain the fertile val
leys there are specimens of as great a
variety Of food fishes as any locality on
the globe can boast. Add to all these
material resources climate which has

Washington In the language of
Julian Ralph, in his admirable article
in the September number of Harper's
Magazine, 1t would seem to share
with all the others many of their
greatest resources, as if it were the es-
sence and epitome of them all. If it is
not the last which shall be first it is
the one in which we see the summing
up of all the rest. A sweeping glance
over it, in the minds eye of one who
knows it well, is like the transforma-
ton scene at the end of a Christmas
pantomime, wherein we see gloriously
some hint of all that went before-of all
the climates, forests, metals, fruits,
cereals, and vegetables of our entire
country; of the men of all the world,
the fishes of both oceans. But the
scenes that are hurried along the
grooves were never hung before paint
bridge. They are real"

MARE SERENlTATlS.

There all is waste and wild and dark and
drear,
The deepest silence-stili in death;
No flying wing, no winding cull-the ear
Hears not the slightest breath.
All, all is wild; no sunshine falls. Alone,
The very mountains seem 20 sleep.
No pine trees rock in wavy breeze. No moan
Comes from that silence of the deep.
From Tycho's broad chaotic waste to where
Gassendi's crater spreaCr,
There lurid, darksome mountains catch the
glare
Eternal DER their heads.
Where are the souls that once those wales did
fill
That poured their hearts above
Once gushing stream, now dried up, wasted
rill,
Once music soft as lover
Oh, that deserted world above who knows
What hand hath made it so?
What epic strain could sweep in song its woes,
Divine what cause hath laid it low?
Oh, nay, tits not for human art to soar
That vast chaotic deepl
When time and place and art shall be no
more,
Twill rouse from mystic sleep.

A Spanish bullfght was held yester-
day afternoon at Mines, in the Roman
circus, and was regarded as a great sue
cess. Six horses and two bulls were
killed amid wild enthusiasm and excite
ment. Upward of 10000 persons wit
messed the sight. Bullfghts are pop
ular amusement in the south of France,
although unknown and indeed prohib-
tied in the north, Paris alone being since
1889 an exception. This sport is toll
Grated by the French police on the I'M
derstanGing that the bull is not to be in
jured, and that the horses are to be pro-
tected by body guards and by tipping
the bulls horns. Every year attempts
are being made in defiance of police reg
ulations and northern opinion to intro
duce Spanish bullfghts in the south of
France.
The other day at Mont de Marsan,
near Pau, several horses were killed by
bulls in one of these fights, the bulls be-
ing killed in their turn by Spanish mata-
dores. The project stopped this cruelty
with great difficulty. and only in obedi-
ence to positive orders from Paris, so
strongly was local opinion in favor of it.
Yesterday afternoon at Avignon torero
named Metodo was wounded in the
course of bull fight.-Cor. London

The English sparrow is not liked in
Kalamazoo, and the decided feeling
against him is indicated by the fact that
the people would rather by three cents
see a dead sparrow than a live one.
The liDeman who looks after the lights
of the city is now availing himself dill
gently of the benefits of this bounty and
he has so supplemented his ordinary pay
by the destruction of "Englishmen" that
he is inclined to think that the very best
sparrow trap in existence is an arc lamp
The birds make their nests in the lamps,
and after the eggs are laid the hneman
keeps close watch ON it. Just before
the young birds are fully hedged he
pinches their heads and realizes on them.
One day he brought in l41, and last year
his "side line" brought him seventy dol
lars.-New York Telegram.

What is the age limit beyond which
no amount of judicious training will en-
able fairly athletic man to run mile
within the space of five minutes? The
question has been raised at west end
club, where one of its members, whose
years number eight and thirty, proposes
to make practical demonstration of the
fact that the limit has not been reached
in his case. Whether he is destined to
succeed in his attempt or not, the gen.
tleman in question has at any rate the
courage of his opinions, for he has ven
tured the stake Of e40O upon his accom-
plishment of the feat. Should he win
the wager he will receive a sum of
81 200, his opponents rating their chance
of witnessing the runners downfall at
three to one on.-London Telegraph.

Cholera DOn'fs.

The board of health of New York city
has prepared three-quarters of a mil
lion printed circulars to be distributed
to the public. The most important of
the suggestions and points of informa.
ton contained in the circular are
summed up below:
Healthy persons catch" cholera by taking
into their systems through the mouth. as in
their food or drink, or from their hands,
knives, forks, plates, tumblers, clothing, ETC.,
the germs of the disease which are always
present in the discharges from the stomach
and bowels of those sick with cholera
Thorough cooking destroys the cholera
germs.
Don't eat or drink to excess. Use plain,
wholesome, digestible food. as indigestion and
diarrhea favor an attack of cholera.
Don't drink unboiled water.
Don't eat or drink articles unless they have
been thoroughly and recently cooked or
boiled, and the more recent and hotter they
are the safer.
Don't employ utensils in eating or drinking
unless they have been recently .,ut in boiling
water; the more recent the safer,
Don't eat or handle food or drink with I'M
washed hands, or receive it from the IN
washed hands of others.
Don't use the hands for any purpose when
soiled with cholera discharges: thoroughly
cleanse them at once.
Personal cleanliness. and cleanliness of the
living and sleeping rooms and their contents,
and thorough ventilation should be rigidly
enforced. Foul water closets. sinks, faucets,
cellars, etc, should be avoided, and when
present should be referred 10 the health board
at once and be remedied.
II taken III in the street seek the nearest
drug store, dispensa1'y or hospital
Don't permit vomit or diarrheal discharges
TO come in contact with food, drink OF cloth
ing. These discharges should be received in
proper vessels and kept covered until removed
under competent directions. Pour boiling wa
ter on them. put strong solution Of carbolic
acid In them mot less than one part of acid to
twenty of hot soapsuds or water).
Don't wear, handle or use any articles of
clothing or furniture that are soiled with
cholera discharges. Pour boiling water on
them or put them into 1t, and scrub them with
the carbolio acid solution mentioned above,
and promptly request the health board to re-
move them
Don't be frightened, but do be cautious and
avoid excuses and unnecessary exposures of
every kind.
When the cholera ragged in 1889 a
French chemist had a prescription
which was believed to save many lives
in a prominent western city. It has
been kept sixty years, and its efficacy is
still an article of faith in localities where
it has been used. 1t is the following:
Tincture opium. 2 drains; sulphuric ether, 2
drains, tincture red pepper, 3 drains; French
brandy, enough to make ounces. Dose, q tea

City Girls Water Their Horse.

W. w. Hall, young farmer near
Montpelier, enjoyed himself hugely a
few days back in watching a couple Of
city girls attempt to water their horses
at the trough at his place. The horses
were checked up, and of course could
not get their noses down to the water
This seemed to surprise the young ladies
at first, but finally realizing the trouble
they both got out of the buggy, and 60
ing behind lifted up on the hind axle
and after raising the hind wheels clear
off the ground peeped around the sides
Of the vehicle to see the horses drink.
Finding that the horses didn't seem to
know enough to stick their heads down
at the same time they raised the hind
wheels one girl remained behind to hold
the buggy up and the other went to the
horses heads and tried to pull their
noses down to the water.
After laughing till he shook several
boards off the side of the blacksmith
shop from where he watched the girls
lift on the buggy and pull on the horses
heads till they were red in the face and
almost ready to cry, Will went to their
assistance and unchecked the horses.
The young ladies gazed at first in be-
wilderment, and then with kind Of
a don't-you-ever-tell look at each other
calmly tucked the robe around them,
leaned back in their seats, and, after wait
ing for their horses to drink, drove off,
leaving Will to sit down on the corner of
the trough and ruminate over the city
gal and her way of doing things.-Mo-

How the Mosquito Does 1t.

A mosquitoes bill is an elaborate con-
trivance and consists of two sharp saws
and lance inclosed in a sheath which
is also employed as pump. The saws
are bony, but flexible, and the teeth are
near the end which is pointed. The
lance is perhaps the most perfect instru-
ment known in the world of minute
things. 1t is first thrust into the flesh
and the opening is enlarged by the saws,
which play beside it until the sheath can
be inserted. The saving is what causes
irritation when mosquito is biting

A Cigarette Burned Delmar.

Postmaster James H. Tyre was in the
Delmar postoffice talking to half dozen
men who had dropped in to see him.
The men were smoking, and boy had
lighted cigarette and was sitting on a
desk Uttered with papers. In few
minutes the whole party went out to
greet William L. Sirman, speaker of the
Delaware house of representatives, who
had just returned from Dover with news
of the Democratic state convention.
While they were talking flames burst
out inside the postoffice building and the
interior was all ablaze. 1t happened
too quickly to allow of any concerted
action. The cigarette had done the mis-
chief. The boy had gone out with the
others, but before going out had thrown
his cigarette carelessly away. The ciga-
rette fell on scrap of paper in corner
and caused the confagration. Whining

A Sad Meeting After Many Years.

An affecting scene occurred at the Jail
Friday. 1t was the meeting Of Colonel
H. Clay King and Mrs. Hunter, his sis.
ter, who resides in Texas, and whom he
had not seen for thirty-five years. She
married at an early age, left Tennessee
for Texas with her husband, and has not
between that time and Friday set foot in
Memphis. Even members of the family
did not expect her, but it seems that she
was unable to endure the thought of her
brother being led to so awful punish
ment without at least bidding him good

The Value of Bran.

Although millers have succeeded in
taking from their bran every particle of
flour, bran still has value as horse and
cattle feed. AT first this was not under
stood and many thousand tons of it were
cast into the Mississippi from the mills
at Minneapolis. As now sold through
out the country it is delivered in two
brands, one very fine I'D light in color,
the other darker and aenost as coarse as
pine sawdust. The prices for these prod
ucts vary from fourteen dollars to six
teen dollars per ton. Because they are
light and chatfy they do not bear trans
portation to distance with profit. That
is, with bran compressors as costly in
operation as those of today.
Were cheap, quick bran press in
vented, effective enough to give its out
put low freight to Europe, American
flour milling would take a long stride
forward. 1t is because the European
miller can get good price near his door
for his bran and shorts" that he is able
to compete with his American rival.
Were that one remaining advantage
taken from him the United States would
very largely export -four instead of
wheat. - Cincinnati Commercial Ga

GREAT rs WASHINGTON

1t is not easy to conceive how any
person in any degree observant can
visit the Western Washington Indus
trial Exposition at Tacoma without
being profoundly impressed with the
present realities and future possibilities
of this great state. The name of the
exposition is to some degree misleading.
It is not an exhibit merely of the re-
sources and products of Western Wash
ington, vast and varied though they
are, but includes as well indisputable
proofs of the wonderful wealth of the
major portion of the state-the imperial
area lying between the rugged sum-
mits of the Cascades and the western
border line of the picturesque pam
handle of Idaho. Ores are there, OF
astonishing richness, from the exhaust
less treasure houses of the as yet
sparsely populated counties of Stevens
and Okanogan. There is granite from
Spokane as enduring as the ages, and
marble fit for the palace of king. The
wealth of the wonderful Palouse
country and the famed valley of Walla
Walla stands revealed in sheafs Of
golden grain and tempting displays of
luscious fruit. From the valley of the
Yakima choice specimens of nearly all
the products of the temperate zone
show that a most remarkable transfor-
nation is being wrought on our arid
lands by means of irrigation. From
the thinly settled and apparently bar
rem wastes of the extensive region
known as the Big Bend country there
are fruits and grains and grasses which
prove beyond doubt that that portion
of the great basin Of the Column
bia is as rich as was the now almost de-
serted valley of the Euphrates, when
irrigation made it yiold support for the
millions who dwelt within and with
out the walls of mighty Babylon, when
it was the glory of the Chaldean empire
and its rulers were the rulers of the
world.
So much for the products of Eastern
Washington, which are as attractively
and conspicuously displayed TT the ex-
position as are the choicest treasures OF
the wonderland lying between the ma
jestic peaks of the Cascades and the
blue waters Of the Pacific. If there are
any among our people who still give
harborage to doubts that are traitors to
the country, or any strangers within
our gates who seek ocular proof that
the Puget Sound basin is all that has
been claimed for 1t, let them visit the
exposition and faith based on the un-
improbable evidence Of the things
there seen will Danish all their doubts,
and they will be ready to admit that
the half has not been told.
Gold and silver ores are there from
lodges that rival in size and richness
the treasure houses of King Solomon in
the land of Ophir. OF lead and iron
and lime there are numerous speci-
mems from discoveries of wonderful ex-
tent. OF coal there are great blocks
from mines sufficient to furnish fuel
for the people of all nations and feed
the fires of all the industries Of the
world for years without number. OF

By reference to a communication
from Mayor Mckenzie published else
where in this paper it will be seen that
he is not disposed to shoulder all the
blame for Councilman Kingdoms
"pernicious activity" in sewer and
other matters. Clearly it is condi-
ton and not theory that confronts
him. He argues that he has done all
that could reasonably be expected of
him with the material at hand, and
very naturally he thinks the people
who furnished the material are more to
blame than he is. In the light of the
facts so far as they now appear his crit
icisim of Mr.. Donovan will not strike
many people as being undeserved. But
more light will doubtless be shed on
the whole matter. Just now it is
rather dark subject. AS for the gen.
eral reflection cast upon the Republic
can ticket as printed in the HERALD it
is not easy to find any reasonable ex-
cuse.
