Chinese Soldiers.

The following quotation from an
author who had experience with
General Gordon's lever victorious
army" shows Cinnamon are admira-
bly, suitable for soldiers:
1.-The old notion is pretty well got
rid of that they are at all cowardly
people when properly paid and eff
GENTLY led, while the regularity and
order of their habits, which dispose
them to peace in ordinary times, give
place to a daring bordering upon
recklessness in time of war. Their
intelligence and capacity for remem-
bering facts make them well fitted
for use in modern warfare, as do also
the GOODNESS and calmness of their
disposition.
Physically they are on the aver
age not so strong as Europeans, but
considerably more so than most Of
the other races of the east, and on a
cheap diet of rice, vegetables, salt
fish and pork they can go through a
vast amount of fatigue, whether in a
temperate climate or tropical one,
where Europeans are i'll fitted for ex-
ertion. Their wants are few, they
have no caste prejudices and hardly
any appetite for intoxicating liquors. "

Repairing Fences.

There is a great deal of work that
can be done on farm to good adj
vantage after farm work proper is
finished. There is no better time in
the year to put the fences in good
shape than when the ground is fro
zen. 1t is easy to get about the fields
with material, and the work has just
exercise enough about it to make it
pleasant. A fence that is gone over
every year seldom needs great deal
of repairing. Yearly attention keeps
it in good condition, but neglect it for
a few years, and it will require as
much labor to put it in good trim as
it takes to build new fence. De

HOW BLUE AND GRAY BLEND

oh, mother, what do they mean by bIue2
And do they mean by gray?'
l heard from the lips of little child
; AS she bounded in from her play.
The mothers eyes filed up with tears
She turned to her darling fair
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
The treasure of golden hair
why, mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpa's hair is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day."
But what did they meanY" persisted the child,
For saw two cripples today,
And one Of them said he had fought for the
blue,
The other had fought for the gray.
'The one of the blue had lost leg,
And the other had but one arm.
And both seemed worn and weary and sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told Of battles in days gone by
Till 1t made my blood grow chill.
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight
And the arm ON Malvern Hill.
They sat on the stone by the farmyard gate
And talked for an hour or more
TIL their eyes grew bright and their hearta
seemed warm
With fighting their battles DER.
And parting at last with friendly grasp.
In q kindly. brotherly way,
Each asking God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray"
Then the mother thoughtof other days,
Two stalwart boys from her riven:
How they'd knelt at her side. and. lisping,
prayed,
Our father which art in heaven"
How one wore the gray and the other the blue:
How they passed away from sight
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Merge in tints of celestial light.
And she answered her darling with golden
hair,
While her heart was sorely wrung
With the thoughts awakened in that sad hour
BY her innocent prattling tongue,
THE blue and the gray are the colors of God;
They are seen in the sky at even,
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven"

The Spokane coxeyites.

SPOKANE, May 10.-The Spokane Cox
eyites are very much disturbed. The
traitorous conduct of the leader, Dol
phin, and the vigilance of the autl.ori-
ties, have crushed their spirits. Deser-
tions are numerous. Deputy United
States Marshal Vihson went out to Hill
yard at noon today to serve papers of in.
junction issued by Judge Hanford, re-
straining the commonwealers from inter-
fering with the property of the Great
Northern railroad. A committee from
the Spokane trades council. with Jumbo
Cantwell, commander of the Tacoma
army, at the invitation of Dolphin, went
out TO Hillyard this morning to investi-
gate the charges of the attem pied deser-
tion OF Dolphin, to be in the form of a
court-martial. It is thought Dolphin
asked this far his own protection until
he can get out of town, as there are
threats of lynching. Part of the Spo
kane army will probably go to E. J. JEFF
tries, commander of the Seattles, and
part to Jumbo Cantwell. Dolphin can
no longer lead them.

sist him on reaching Washington, said
he knew him as a ball-player. He un-
derstood Kelley had petition which he
would present asking government aid
for the unemployed by irrigating the
arid lands. If Kelley brought such a
petition, Maguire sait he would not
only present it bnt urge its considera-
tion. Mcguire added that if the single
tax system was adopted there would be
no need of people resorting to arid lands
for homes. The only difficulty, he de-
clared. in the way of prosecuting the
scheme of irrigation was private mo-
nopoly'of the arid lands acquired under
the desert lands act.

STRANGE SIGHTS IN INDIA.

Peculiar Results of the Hindoo Belief Com
corning Animals.
stOf all the strange places we visited
none was more unique than Jeypore,'' -
said Mr.. Burditt of the Stoddard party,
according to the Washington Post
''This is a city in the north of India,
which is under native government. its
ruler being the maharajah of that dis
trict. Here, the sacredness of animal
life, SO carefully observed by the Hin
docs, gave us queer sights. Monkeys
ran along walls like dogs. Doves in
hocks of thousands filed the open
squares, or blackened the heavens in
their flight. Peacocks covered walls
and buildings. Elephants and camels
were always to be seen in the streets.
The maharajah had in his stables three
hundred horses, many of the finest
Arabian blood. And in the mud of a
sluggish pond in the rear of his palace
enormous and vicious-loolsing croco-
dilcs lazily rolled about. To get them
to move sufficiently to be able to dis
tinguish their black forms from the
surrounding mud we threw out bait in
the shape of big pieces of raw beef,
tied to a string, many pounds of which
they would syulp at one effort"

His Physician.
An amusing anecdote is told
illustrative of the simplicity of
life at the Palace of Annitchkoff. 1t
appears, says the London Standard,
that when the czar's illness began to
take serious turn, Count Verontzof
Dashlzoff telegraphed to Moscow to a
friend to summon Prof. Zacharin. The
professor was himself ill, and was
somewhat loath to go, having no idea
who was to be his patient, but think
ing it was probably one of the chill
dren. Consequently he wrapped him
self up in comfortable old clothes and
drew on a pair of long felt boots,
reaching to the thigh, and in this
plight alighted at the st. Petersburg
station. There he was met by a court
official who, in spite of his remon-
strances as to his dress, insisted on his
coming straight to the palace, and he
spent the whole night in company
with the empress at the cars bedside
in his travelling costume. The empress
has remarked to her friends that had
her imperial husband been an ordinary
individual no notice would have been
taken of his illness, which was never
at all serious, but, having summoned
Zacharin, it was necessary to issue
bulletins in order to quiet the rumors
which would otherwise have arisen.
