TEXAN HOSPITALITY.

1.-THE latchstring hangs out" ex-
pressed the hospitality of the southern
frontier in the days ''before the war"
II tray eler rode up before the fence
that separated the log cabin from the
road, he was greeted by, '"Light,
stranger, light - Without this salu-
tation no one dismounted, but it was
rarely withheld. Mr.. Williams, in his
book, ''Sam Houston" thus describes
the impulse of hospitality, which
made every traveller a guest, during
the early settlement of Texas:
The traveller who rode up to the front
fence was instantly invited to alight.
His horse was staked out or hobbled
to feed on the prairie grass, and the
visitor sat down to exchange the news
with his host. The coffee mill was set
going, if there were any of the precious
grains in the house, and the hopper in
the hollow log to grinding the corn.
The venison or bear meat was put on
the Goals, and the ash cake baked.
After the meal and the evening pipe,
the visitor stretched himself on a buff
falo robe on the floor with the MEN,
beers of the family and slept the sleep
of health and fatigue. In the morning
the response to any inquiry as to the
charge was, You can pay me by COM
ing again"
The story that certain hospitable
settler used to waylay travellers on
the road and compel them to visit him
at the muzzle of double barreled
shotgun was only a humorous exagera-
ton of the instinct for hospitality
which characterized the community.
The visitor was living newspaper,
who brought the only news obtain
able, and was welcome relief to the
monotony and loneliness of the will
derness.

man turned and tip-toed into the
house, and replaced the battered old
pewter sugar-bowl in the little cup
board beside the chimney.
When the rest of the family awoke
with the coming of the sun, the hus-
band and father was sleeping as
soundly as any of the white heads
had slept. The frugal breakfast was
kept waiting for him as he slept
on, and the clamor of the white heads
was hushed-Poppy was sleeping
A goodly part of the forenoon had
slipped away before he awoke.
Il dunno but you ought to have
walked me sooner,n he said to his wife,
in ahalf-shamefaced way. I'm goin'
to work today. I've been thinkin'
about-wal, if we're goin' East we've
got to work. I-er-you don't need
to take that washin' from the hotel,
Marthy. You'd better rest-I'm
goin' to work"
And he worked that day and for
many days hereafter-worked with a
zeal and faithfulness all the more
marked because of his idleness of
many day before.
If there was any touch of heroism
in this, | think it was augmented by
the fact that Lyman Tarsney never
knew what he had escaped by keep
ing out of the clutches of the "green
goods" men.

Immense irrigating canals are now
under construction in Colorado. Ex-
Governor Eaton is just completing a
great reservoir, the waters of which
will cover eight hundred acres of land,
and are expected to irrigate a whole
township. The largest canals and re-
servoirs in Colorado are on the Arkan-
sas River. The La Junta and Lamar
canal reservoir system is vast irriga-
ton enterprise. The canal has a bot
tom width at headgate of thirty feet,
and carries water seven feet deep. 1t
is one hundred and fourteen miles
long-the longest in the United States
and has a combined lateral length
of seven hundred and fifty miles. 1t
has several reservoirs, two of which are
named the King and the Prince. The
former has an area of one thousand
acres, gross depth of forty feet, and
holds eight hundred and sixteen mil
lion cubic feet of water. The Prince
reservoir covers an area of three hum
dred and fifty acres, with a gross
depth of water of seventeen feet. Its
total capacity at one filling is fifty
million cubic feet The system cost
three hundred thousand dollars.
Reservoir No 1, ON the Colorado
Canal, has an area of six hundred
acres, with capacity of one hundred
and thirty-three million eight hundred
and ninety thousand cubic feet of
water. No. has an area of two
thousand five hundred acres and a
capacity of six hundred and sixty-five
million eight hundred and eighteen
thousand six hundred and twenty
cubic feet. Reservoir No. 3, projected,
but not completed, has the greatest
capacity of any reservoir site yet re-
corded in Colorado. Its area is twenty
square miles, and its capacity sixteen
billion three hundred and twenty mil
lion cubic feet. Lake Lolita, natural
depression under the same grand sys-
tenn, has a capacity of seventy-five
million four hundred and sixty-seven
thousand seven hundred cubic feet.
The other reservoir sites of this scheme
have areas from four hundred to five
thousand acres 1t is the most gi-
gantic storage system in the State. 1t
cost upward of four hundred thousand
dollars.-McCIure'S Magazine.

IRISH BULLS.

A recent number of London Truth
has compiled the following specimens
of Irish bulls Irish Professor in
Chemistry-"The substance you see
in this vial is the most deadly of all
poisons. A single drop placed upon
the tongue of IL cat is enough to kill
the strongest man" A lady, invited
to very recherche musical party had
met with an accident to her front
teeth which there was no time to re-
pair. She said Il will come, and as
dare not open my mouth, you must
tell your friends am deaf and dumb,
but appreciate music" A young
lieutenant going out to India with his
regiment, writing home about the
country, says: 1.-THE climate is mag
nifcent, but lot of young fellows
come out here and drink and eat and
eat and drink, and die, and then write
home and say it was the climate that

FOR THE TEACHERS.

The following is referred to the next Teacf
ers' Institute:
Stand up, We teachers, now and spell.
Spell phenakiStoscope and knell;
Or take some simple word, as chilly,
Or gauger, or the garden lily,
TO spell such word as syllogism,
And lachrymose and synchrOnism,
And pentateuch and saccharine,
Apocrypha and celandine,
LactiferouS and cecity.
Jejune and homeopathy,
Paralysis and Chloroform,
Rhiuoceros and pachyderm,
MetempSychosis, gherkins, basque,
1t certainly no easy task.
Kaleidoscope and Tennessee,
Kamtschatka and dispensary,
Diphthong and erysipelas,
And etiquette and Sassafras,
1nfallible and ptyalism,
AllOpathy and rheumatism,
And cataclysm and beleaguer.
Twelfth, eighteenth, rendezvous, intriguer
And hosts of other words are found
On English and on classic ground.
Thus Behring's Straits and Michaelmas,
Thermopylae, Cordileras,
Suite, Hemorrhage, Jalap and Havana,
Cinuuefoil and Ipecacuanha,
And Rappahannock, Shenandoah,
And Schuylkill and thousand more,
Are words that some good spoilers miss
In Dictionary lands like this.
Nor need one think himself a scroyle
If some of these his efforts foil,
Nor deem himself undone forever
To miss the name of either river
The Dneiper, Seine, or Guadalquivir.

army this she refused to do. japan,
in return. said she had come to Kor-
ea to reform, regenerate and re-
organize her, and asked China to CO.
operate in this work. This was ig-
nored by China and really consider
ed an insult. japan proceeded with
her work of reformation. Upon this
China began sending troops to 10
rea.
THE CONFLICT BEGINS.
The first great movement OF the
conflict was the sinking of the Kow-
shing, an English transport in the
service of the Chinese, carrying
troops to Korea. As she was APP
preaching the Korean port, with
some 100 troops on board, three
Japanese men-of-war suddenly came
before her and signaled her to stop.
This she did. A boat was sent out
by one of the Japanese men of-war
to get the particulars of the trans
port. Having learned that the trans
port was full of Chinese soldiers,
she Immediately ordered her to sur
render, follow the Japanese men-of-
war or take the consequences. The
Chinese declared that they would
all die before they would surrender.
The Japanese then told the for
eigners. But the Chinese said they
would shoot the first man who at
tempted to leave the ship. A Japan
ese man.of-war Immediately dis
charged torpedo and opened a
broadside on the transport. In a
few minutes she began to sink wit h
ell on board. The captain, who is
English, and two other foreigners
escaped by swimming, and then be-
ing picked up. 1t is said that the
Japanese fired on the men in the
water. II they did, it will add much
to the crime, and was contrary to
the rules of civilized G) warfare.
This was done before war was de-
clared. Upon the sinking of the
Kowshing, China declared war, and
the Japanese did likewise.
THE JAPANESE VICTORIOUS.
The japanese have been victorious
thus far. They have capt ured Asan
which was held by the Chinese, also
Seoul, the capital, and are in pos
session of many other points in
Korea. A great battle is expected
daily. The Japanese men of-war are
in possession of Korean waters and
seem to be master of the situation.
THE CONDITION OF THE TWO ARMIES.
Japan is prepared for war. She
has an excellent army and navy.
Everything about her war equip
| ment is st,ictly modern. Her kill
