SERVANTS ON INSTRUMENTS
It Takes Six in Guatemala to Do the Work
 of One Girl Here.

It Takes Six in Gu6temala to Do the Work
 of One Girl Here.
 The American woman, when she grumbles at the generality of servants, doesn't know when she is well off. If she could spend year at housekeeping in Guatemala she would come back to the United States and pass the rest of her life in peace and contentment. says the New York Journal.
 In Guatemala the servants are either Indians or half-breeds. They will live on black beans and tortillas. and as to wages, they are content for month with what servant girl receives here. But no American housekeeper would feel inclined to charge a servant board. You hire Guatemala woman, for in- stance, as cook. Then you must hire a man to keep the fire going. If he is away, the cook will let her fire go out sooner than debase her dignity by put ting on more fuel. A third servant must be furnished to put the crude articles of food into shape for handling by the cook. A fourth is needed to do all the carrying. Still another must do the dish washing.
 Altogether, half-dozen servants are needed to get an ordinary breakfast for three or four persons. A bright, in telligent, sturdy servant in this coun- try would accomplish the same feat all by herself in an hour or less. It is comparatively inexpensive to maintain a household of twelve or fifteen ser wants in Guatemala, but they are ter rible trial to an American woman.

THE NEWSPAPERS are having 8 good deal to say about Ingersoll's converts to the idea that man has the right to take his life when existence becomes burden. It IS doubtful whether suicide is more common now than it was before Pagan Bob" gave that method of quitting the world his open sanction. It was not wise nor brave thing for him to do to advise his fellow creatures to "quit the game" when the chances are against them, but is safe to say that the man who deliberately pro- jects himself into eternity has some reason for doing so which is a good deal more potent than the mere fact that MT. Ingersoll has decided that persons have right to cease living when they become tired of this world.

IF THE spread of cholera in Europe continues, it will be we'll for our au- thorities on this side of the ocean to keep sharp lookout for it's approach. It is said to have taken on an especially threatening phase in Galicia, and in other districts it has made alarming progress. And one of the most signif- cant facts regarding it's advance is that riots have occurred at several points where the authorities have undertaken to enforce proper sanitary measures. It is in such unenlightened and presuma- ply filthy localities that the malady thrives.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

. If 1t be true, as 1t seems to be, that the Japanese have beaten the Chinese in great battle in Corea and occupied the mountain passes leading into Man churia, it is quite probable that China will soon sue for peace. Japan controls the sea, so that China cannot land troops upon the coast, and If the noun tain passes are occupied and fortified Japan can hold Corea against China.
 It is not impossible that Japan might capture Peking; the English and French troops made easy work of cap- turing Peking in 1860, and it is not likely that Peking could relatively make any better defense today than it did thirty-five years ago against the European methods of warfare adopted by the Japanese.
 China is in great danger of domestic dissensions she is a country of mag nifcent distances; she has no railroads by which she can rapidly assemble sup plies and concentrate her military pop ulation. If the reported great victory by the Japanese proves to be authentic and the mountain passes leading into Mauchuria are in the hands of Japan. they can be quickly rendered impreg- nable by Notifications armed with can- non and defended by infantry.

A BENIGHTED CANDIDATE,

The Democrats have nominated for the legislature in Graham county, a candidate so benighted, so ignorant, and so far behind the times that it is hardly possible that progressive and wide-awake county will elect him. This is not said because he is 8 Democrat. Should the Republicans nominate a man so unfit for office, we should de- nounce him in terms equally severe.
 The following in this connection from the Globe iSiIuer Belt voices our views in the matter:
 "In nominating George Skinner for the assem ply the Democracy of Graham county has shown themselves either

A TERRIBLE HAWK.
An Enemy That Strikes Terror to Feath-
 cred Demizens of the Bush.


 cred Demizens of the Bush.
 The author of ''The Naturalist in La Plata gives an impressive description of the terror produced by the appear ance of rather small hawk, of spe- cies unknown to him, although he has seen it hundred times. It is marsh hawk. That is to say it seeks it's prey in marshes.
 I have frequently seen all the inhabi tants of marsh struck with panic, act ing as if demented and suddenly grown careless to all other dangers. On such occasions I have looked up, confident of seeing this particular hawk suspended above them in the sky.
 All birds that happen to be on the wing drop into the reeds or water as if shot. Ducks away from the shore stretch out their necks horizontally and drag their bodies, as if wounded, into closer cover. Not one bird is found bold enough to rise and wheel about the marauder-a usual proceeding in the case of other hawks; while at every sudden stoop of the falcon a low cry of terror rises from the birds underneath "a sound expressive of an emotion so contagious that it quickly runs like a murmur all over the marsh, as if a gust of wind had swept moaning through the rushes.
 As long as the falcon hangs overhead always at a height of about forty yards, threatening at intervals to dash down, this murmuring sound, made up of many hundreds of individual cries, is heard swelling and dying away, and occasionally, when he drops lower than usual. it rises to sharp scream of ter TOT.
 Sometimes, when have been riding over marshy ground, one of these hawks has placed himself directly over my head, within fifteen or twenty yards. It has perhaps acquired the habit of following horsemen in this way, in order to strike at any birds driven up.
 Once my horse almost trod on a couple of snipe squatting, terrified, in the short grass. The instant they rose the hawk struck at one of them, the end of his wing smiting my cheek vio- lently as he stopped. The snipe escaped by diving under the bridle, and inn mediately dropped on the other side of me; and the hawk, rising, flew away.

CHLOE ELIZABETH WALLER.

 Potted plants in bloom and cut flowers were tastefully arranged around the platform and desk. The floral trib- utes which lay on the casket, consisting of a wreath and several sprays of roses and other flowers, were uncommonly beautiful. The vacant chair of the de- ceased in the choir was covered with white flowers.
 The pail bearers were: Messrs George K. Lawrence, David H Lawrence, Ja, Lawrence, Willie D Lawrence, brothers of the decessed. David Lawrence, an uncle, and George Smith, nephew. The burial was in the lower cemetery.
