A taste for sugar has been devel-
oped in time among all fruit-eating
and flower feeding species, says a
writer in the Cornhill Magazine. So,
also, has taste for bright hues and
an advanced color sense. Wherever
in the animal world you find high
decoration and splendid or expanded
ornamental adjuncts-as in the but
terfiies, the golden beetles, the hum
ming birds, the sun birds, the parrots,
you will almost invariably find the
species which display them confirmed
sugar eaters. The love for color and
the love for sugar go hand in hand
throughout the whole creation. The
birds of prey, the wolves, the carrion
beetles have none of either. They
are dull and dingy or else protect
lively colored. Strange as it may
sound at first hearing to say so,
sugar and the aesthetic sense are
bound up closely together. Bright
flowers are the colored expansions
which advertise honey TO insects;
bright fruits are the colored pulps
which advertise seeds and their
sugary coating to birds and man.
mails. The Importance of this con-
junction can hardly be overesti-
mated. And is it not even a signifi-
cant fact that our confections
themselves are rendered more attract

youth by streaks of red and blue and

Honey In the Butter.

The peculiar flavor observed in the
butter furnished at hotels i'm England
and at those on the Continent
patronized by English people is said
to be due to the presence of honey in
the butter. The proportion is one
ounce of honey to n pound of butter,
and the result is a decided improve
ment in flavor and the avoidance Of
all rancidity in the buttor,-L New

Mixed Up the Two Webstsrs.

During Daniel Webster's visit to
England he was taken one day to see
Lord Brougham. That eminent iu-
rist, however, received him with such
GOODNESS that Mr.. Webster was glad
TO get away, and took his leave ut the
first opportunity. The friend saw
him to his rooms and then returned
to Lord Brougham, and in some
anger said
My Lord, how could you behave
with such rudeness and discourtesy
to so great lawyer and statesman?

THE sRED FLAG.
Emma Goldman, the Anarchist, Again
Appears in Public.

Emma Goldman, the Anarchist, Again
Appears in Public.
New YORK, August pa reception
was given Emma Goldman tonight at
the Thalia theater, which nearly 5000
persons attended. The affair was gener-
ally tame, and the special force of de-
tectives had nothing to do. Charles
Wilfred Mowbray, the English anarch-
list, was also present, and preceded En-
ma Goldman with speech, in which he
eulogized her heroism and self-sacrifice.
Speaking of the police, he remarked:
"The police exist for Doodle. They are
here to protect the thieves of associated
society from the plumber of the poor
workers." When Emma Goldman came
on the platform there was a great burst
of applause. Her speech was chiefly de-
voted to rancorous attack upon all who
were concerned in her prosecution, con-
viction and impri- onment.
"Imagine the prosecution of woman
for talking" she began. Anarchy was
prosecuted October 5, 1898, in the Court
OF General Sessions. 1t was really the
right OF Tree speech InaC was pTosecuteu.
The country is to-day seeking the aid OF
the old continent to help them to get rid
of anarchy. What do they get to help
them? Those hateful Irish and the de-
ceitful English"
She then launched forth into invec-
tive. She called Assistant District At
torney Mcintyre a coward. In speaking
of the Judge before whom she was tried
che said:
"Judge MARITIME is not to be compared
with Santo or Henri, who were all de-
tenders of cause they believed in. l
am with you again under the flag of an
archy and freedom" she concluded.
The speech was received with enthu-
siastic plaudits by the minority portion
OF the audience, and the meeting soon
after was brought to close.

Grated by members of the Manufacture
ers' Association will be shut down in

establishment engaged in thesmanufact-

throws 22,645 men and women out of
employment. There at present about
$500 who have voluntarily quit work,
which swells the total number to 5000
operatives. The decision to close was
reached by the manufacturers at their
secret meeting yesterday, and is the re-
suit of an agreement to close the mills
at any time that three-fourths of the
looms were silent for any cause. The
shutdown will leave total of 8, 235 en-
ployes at work for the Barnable Manu-
featuring Company, the Fall River iron
works and the Connecticut and Seacania
mills. These establishments are engaged
in the manufacture of goods that do not

Myth of the Cliff Dwellers Exploded.

The fable of the so called cliff builders
and cave jewellers as a distinct race or
races has been absolutely exploded in sci
ence. The fact is that the cliff jewellers
and the cave jewellers of the southwest
were Pueblo Indians, pure and simple.
Even a careless eye can find the proof in
every corner of the southwest. 1t was
question not of race, but of physical geog
raphy.
The Pueblo cut his garment according to
his cloth, and whether he burrowed his
house or built it of mud bricks or stone
bricks or cleft stone, atop a cliff or in caves
or shelves of its face, depended simply upon
his town site. The one infexible rule was
security, and to gain that he took the
shortest" cut offered by his surroundings.
When he found himself-as he sometimes
did in this volcanic range-in region of
tufa cliffs he simply whitfield out his res
idence. In the commoner hard rock canyons
he built stone houses in whatever safest
place. In the valleys he made and laid
adobes. He sometimes even dovetailed all
these varieties of architecture in one and
the same settlement.-C. F. Lummis in

Beers AND KAFFIRS.
The Rebellion Of the Latter Assuming
Large Proportions.

Large Proportions.
PETRoRIA, South Africa, August 21.-
The rebellion of the Kaffirs is assuming
an alarming condition. The Transvaal
police detachment which has been at
tempting to relieve the garrison at Aga.
tina has been repulsed with serious loss.
Emboldened by their success, the Kaffirs
pursued the retreating troops and at
tackled the main column of the Boer
forces. The Kafirs were driven back,
but the advance of the column was re-
tarded. From the Boer settlements all
along the Letaha river come reports
of severe fighting between isolated par
ties of retreating Beers and Kaffirs who
are burning Boer homesteads all along
the river The Beers are fleeing before
the Kafirs' advance, taking all their
portable property, but large quantities
of provisions and cattle have necessarily
fallen into the hands of the Kaffirs. The
latter have murdered number of Beers
and their wives and children, and the
fiercest feelings of the Beers have been
aroused against the rebels. In all the
disturbed districts mail and passenger
coaches have been stopped, the passen-
gers killed, coaches looted and destroyed,
and mules stolen. The Murchison road
is entirely closed. The Kaffirs are re-
ported having erected strong barbados
across it at point where it passes be-
tween two hills, and they are said to
have prepared to defend an attack. The
government is reinforcing it's troops as
rapidly as possible, and it is expected
an advance in force will be made upon
the Kaffirs Immediately.

SAN Francisco, August 21.-Charles
L. Fair, the surviving son of ex-senator

Court to-day to secure 81 100000 of his
mothers estate, the amount being the

er James and himself. Mrs. Fair left
$500, 900 to each of her sons, James to
receive his at So and Charles when sc
years old. 1t was provided that, in case
either son died before attaining the age
specified without wife or lawful children
his share would revert to his brother.
James Fair died two years ago, when he
was 80. Charles claimed his legacy, but
both the Superior and Supreme Courts
decided that Charles must wait for
James legacy until such time as the lat
ter would have been IS years of age.
Since that decis on Charles has married,
and he claims the ceremony has altered
the case, emitting him to immediate
possession of both legacies. If he should
die, he claims his wife would receive half
of his inheritance and his father one
half, and as his sisters cannot secure
either legacy now, there is no use in
fighting to keep the money out of his
hands longer. Mrs. Herman Oelrichs is
now entitled to her share, amounting to
81 500, 600. Charles new contest will
probably tie up the property for another
year.

HEALTH OF ENGLAND.
Regulating the Importation OF
Dominion Cattle.
THE PROHIBITION MUST STAND.

Stock From the Canadian Shore Must
Hereafter be Slaughtered at the Port
of Landing-Next Step Rests With
Canadian Veterinarians.
LONDON, August 21.-The Board OF
Agriculture has published the official
documents concerning the importation
of Canadian cattle. Mr.. Gardner, the
President of the board, decided that the
prohibition must stand. The documents
comprise the evidence of seventeen ex-
perts and a minute containing the
boards deductions. No one testified
positively that the carcasses examined
were not cases of contagious pleuro-
pneumonia. Many confirmed the deci-
sions of the officers of the board. The
board considers that the evidence mega
tives the suggestion that the disease is
eroupous pneumonia. Messrs. Hunting
and Macqueen favored the theory that it
is disease hitherto unobserved. The
board expresses the opinion that the
next step rests with the Canadian vete-
rinarians, and in consequence says:
cit is beyond question that disease
occurs in Canadian cattle which many
of the ablest and qualified veterinarians
in Great Britain declare to be contagious
plenro- pneumonia, and which even those
holding the opinion that it is a new dis
ease pronounced bacterial, and that the
disease could not have developed to the
extent shown when the animals are
killed, three weeks after shipment, un-
less contracted before leaving Canada.
The matters deserve and will doubtless
receive the serious attention of the Do
minion government. In the meantime
it is clearly the boards duty to maintain
the regulation requiring slaughter at the
port of landing"

HUNDREDS OF PETITIONS
for Reinstatement OF Old Kali

Asking for Reinstatement OF Old Rail-
road Employees.
OMAHA, August 26.-General Manager
Dickinson of the Union Pacific is receiv-
ing hundreds of petitions for the REIN
statement of old employees who went out
ON the strike. The letters do not come
from the men themselves, but from mer-
chants, bankers, real estate agents,
board of trade associations and others.
They are all of the same temper, asking
that work be resumed in the shops and
that the old employees be given the prefer
ence over imported help. So urgent are
some of the demands that Mr.. Dickerson
has about decided to 60 West and per-
sonally interview business men OF the
communities clamoring for relief and
asking for the reinstatement of the men.
The petitions declare many of the mems
families are in want.
THE ATCHIsoN's POLICY.
KANSAS CITY, August 26.-Receiver
Wilson of the Atchison system passed
through here on his return trip to To-
peka from New York to-day. To a re-
porter he said there would be no more
developments in the affairs of the road
till after the arrival of the new receiver,
Mr.. Walker, in New York. Walker is
due in New York September 2, and soon
thereafter the three receivers, General
Solicitor Peck, ID. B. Robinson, First
Vice President, and others will have
consultation. Wilson declined to state
in advance what nOlicv the receivers
would adopt, but was willing to say that
he believed an entirely new policy would
be inaugurated both in the management
of the company's finances and in the
operation of the road. D. B. Robinson,
he said would remain at the head of the
auditing department. Whether there
would be changes in any of the other
departments he could not say, but left
the impression that there would. Re-
ceiver Walker, he thought, would make
his official headquarters at Chicago, that
being his home.
THE TRANsCoNTINENTAL ASSOCIATION.
Chicago, August 26--The Atchison
has announced positively that it will not
become a member of the Transconti-
mental Association, which the Southern
Pacific is making an effort to revive. 1t
will throw no obstacles in the way of re-
organization except that it will not be-
come member. This one thing, how
ever, is sufficient to kill the association.
The Southern Pacific will not join the
Atchison on the outside, and unless
these two roads can get together, it will
be impossible by any pretense to organ
ize transcOntinental association.

Testing an Inland Route.

PHILADELPHIA, August 20.-The tor
pedo boat Ericsson shot up the Delaware
river to-day, and attracted general atten-
tention along the wharves; and such
boats as noticed her saluted the new
conner. She is bound to the Brooklyn
navy yard, and is about completing a
trip from St. Louis down the Mississippi.
The object of the trip was to test an in
land route as far as possible to the Brook
lyn navy yard. After her arrival at the
mouth of the Mississippi she made the
interior water passage via Briton, Chan
deleur, Mississippi Sound and Miami
Pass to Mobile Bay. From Mobile Bay
to Pensacola there was an outside water
route of $50 miles. With the exception
of the trip around Florida the boat kept
inside all the time.

SPECULATING SHIP BUILDERS.
They Are Making Use of the Idle Ton
mage of England.

LONDON, August 22.-Government of
fcers have gone aboard another vessel
in the Tyne, because they were con-
WINGED that she was fitting for service in
the Chinese-Japanese war. The work
on the vessel has been pushed with the
greatest haste since the declaration of
war, and recently materials of war have
been placed aboard her. AS far as can
be ascertained, neither China nor Japan
ordered tho vessel. 1t is thought that
she may have been fitting merely for
speculative purposes, her owners in
tending to offer her to China or Japan
after getting away from English waters.
Work on the vessel has been stopped.
More seizures of vessels are expected.
The steamer Alaska, which China
bought before the war through the
Thames Iron Company, now lies in the
Thames. She is an ironclad, carrying
rapid-fring guns. She is understood to
be shipping her crew. A dispatch from
Vienna says that 10000 M@nnlicher
rifles made in Austria have been shipped
to China.
