Marked Is the Improvement which has
taken place Of late In the relations be-
tween France and Germany, striking
Illustration of which has just been ar
forded by the refusal Of the mayor of
Munich to permit tho erection on one of
the public squares Of the city OF u
fountain destined to commemorate the
battle of Woerth. The mayor declared
that he was strongly opposed to every
thing OF character calculated to
wound the susceptibillties of Ger
many's western neighbor The worthy
burgomaster has evidently taken his
cue from Emperor William, who won
for himself 80 much goodwill in
France by the noble language of his
message OF coincidence 10 Nine, Carnot,

1t was certainly touching scene en-
acted at Greenwood Friday afternoon,
when the little band of Salvationists
knelt by the side Of the newly made
grave Of their late comrade, II. P. Jen-
son, and paid the last sad rites to the
dear Departed. The tears they shed
came from hearts overburdened with
sorrow at the loss of a brother, and
the beautiful sun-kissed flowers that
were laid on the mound of earth that
hid from view the loved form of their
late companion and worker, were no
more pure and grand and beautiful
than were the thoughts that prompted
the kindly deed.

REMINISCENT OF A GIANT"

What has befallen the American peo-
pie since the days of the Cardiff
giant?"
Only few days ago petri1ed giant
In every way equalling for show pur-
poses the Cardiff monster, was dug up
in an Indiana swamp hard by Goshen.
There were the same traces of incalcu-
liable age, the same interesting symp-
toms OF petrifaction, the same bewil-
dering suggestlveness of a prehistoric
race which showmen turned SO nobly to
account Yet here, before q week has
passed, and before the Hoosier discov-
erer has had time to realize first cost
on his discovery" experts have taken
his find under observation and pro-
noulcd It humbug The giant is so
quickly done for, he may we'll wonder
what he was begun for.
That other petrifed fraud was dis
covered also, but not until 1t had en-
rlched the showmen and those incorrig-
ibles had enjoyed the fun of fooling
all the world
What allied the Hoosier giant? Have
the American people grown sharper or
lost their earlier relish for being i'm
posed upon? Or did the genius of hum
bug die when Phineas Taylor Barnum
died?

that time is now herr. We might have
been better off If we had left the dogs in
Europe and devoted the space which they
have occupied in the ship to coal. 1t would
also have been better had we had larger
steamer, with greater coal endurance, but
one cannot have everything in this world
We had and still have reasonable expecta-
tions that this dogs will be found useful,
especially if we are able quickly to reach
the polar pack, where the surface of the
foes may be expected to be comparatively
level. AS to the size of the steamer, she
Is as costly vessel as we could afford. In
this world, in arctic work, as in everything
else, one has to do what he can and not
what he likes, and it must be remembered
that steamers fit for ice work are not plen
tiful, even in Norway, and the few big
sealing steamers that were adapted to the
purpose cost too much for private arctic
enterprise to afford.
Instead of putting many more thousands
into a larger steamer, we prefer to give
our skipper and his crew something to
work for, knowing that skill and courage
work wonders in the arctics more than big
ships or coal power. So we today adj

Laying Cable.

It may not be generally known that,
when o ship is laying telegraph cable,
constant communication is maintained be-
tween the ship and the cable station on
shore where the first end Of the cable has
been landed.
Primarily this is for the purpose of as
certaining that the portion of cable already
paid out" is in perfect condition. The
end of the cable on board is kept attached
to testing instruments, which indicate
the existence Of the slightest fault in the
cable between the ship and the shore. By
replacing the testing" instruments with
signaling" Instruments, messages can
be transmitted from and to the ship. Ad-
vantage is taken of this to keep the people
on hoard well posted in what Is going on
in the world, summary Of news being
sent them as occasion offers.-Liverpool
