see there nature in the act Of undoing the

material are washing back into the channel
The wharves are falling into the water
Acres Of machinery are rusting into dissolu-

Reckoning TImc.

To ascertain the time at night the Apache
Indians employ gourd on which the stars of
the heavens are marked. AS the constella-
tions rise in the sky the Indian refers to
his gourd and finds out the hour. By turning
the gourd around he can tell the order in
which the consultations may be expected to
appear. The hill people Of Assam reckon
time and distance by the number of guilds of
betelnuts chewed. 1t will be remembered
how, according to Washington Irving, Gov
ernor Wouter van Twller dismissed the
Dutch colonial assembly invariably at the
last puff of his third pipe of tobacco. A
Montagnis Indian of Canada will set up a
tall stick in the snow, when travelling ahead
of friends who are to follow. He marks
with his foot the line of shadow cast, and by
the change in the angle of the shadow the
oncoming party can tell, on arriving at the
spot. how far ahead the leader is.

BURDENS OF PEACE.
The Idea Of Disarmament Hailed
With Great Delight.

LONDON, January 2l.-A moment
airy change in the political weather
vane has set Europe talking about q
new alternative for war. The gloomy
prophets Of the past few weeks
seem to find all the charm Of novelty
in the suggestion that the time has
come for a peaceful disarmament in
Europe. Mr.. Byles happened TO ask
Mr.. Gladstone a casual question in
Parliament the other day, cmbody-
ing the idea that the war burdens Of
peace have become almost as heavy
as those OF open hostilities, and that
therefore the moment is opportunc
for a general disarmament. Mr..
Gladstone's reply was rather uon.
committal.
The question and answer attracted
little attention in England, but
throughout the continent, except
France, the question is being vigor.
ously agitated. The strongest ex.
pressions Of sympathy with the idea
are coming from all classes. II is
strange with what eag.rness the
suggestion il being seized upon. II
has long been the universal convic.
ton Of Europe that disarmament is
only possible rs a result Of an ex-
hausting general war, aud that il is
impossible To postpon war after the
limit OF preparatory resources has
been reached. There is widespread
feeling that certain nations are al.
ready beginning To pay the penalty
Of entertaining, while Others have
attained their maximum fighting
power.
This is the real explanation Of the
prevalent war scare. II is not sur
prising, therefore, that the possibil.
ity Of the peaceful attainment Of
the desired object Is earnestly con.
sidered.
As regards the continental situa-
ton the talk OF the week most con.
Germs Italy. II is again reiterated
that she for some time has been
seeking friends oM side the Triple
Alliance. Crispi is even credited
with a desire Ia come To n better
understanding with France, with u
view To end the financial war.
The impression is strong in Lon
don that an Italian naval alliance
with England in the Mediterranean
may he had for the asking, and this
is regarded rs the greatest safeguard
against the penalties which the in
adequacy OF the British navy threat
ems,

JIM POWELL IN LUCK
After a Wait He Gets Little
Billet.

Jim Powell. a colored member Of
the Annexation Club, who has been
waiting for his reward for signing
the rolls, has got job at last, and
is happy in consequence. He has
been awarded the position of water
tender to vessels. The former in
cumbent was Dan Mahuka, a Hawai-
ian popular among both foreigners
and fellow-countrymen. Dan was
unfortunately taken down with I'LL.
ness about two months ago, and is
up to the present time confined to
his home. In his absence, John
Mahuka, a brother, undertook his
duties and until recent date filed
the position with satisfaction. One
day Captain Ashe Of the schooner
Bangor notified Mahuka that the
tanks on his vessel needed filling.
The substitute water tender went
down and requested the capta ain to
have man stationed at the tanks to
notify him (Mahuka) when each was
filed, so that he could turn the
water of. Captain Ashe answered
that his men were all busy, and he
could render no assistance. Mahuka
told him that il was impossible for
one man to attend to both duties.
the key to the water being some dis.
tance from the ship. II any of the
tanks were to overflow it would
cause some damage to the sugar
cargo, and this would fall on the
water tender. Anyhow, the tanks
were filed and few days later
Mahuka was told to turn over the
hose cart and keys to Jim Powell.
The latter like good many more
had been biding his time for whack
at the spells.
