The high moral value of boxing as an
exercise and of the boxing code to which
every boxer must submit is due to the
fact that they compel men to be just, to
accept equality, to respect the rights OF
others, to be fair to their opponents on
their feet and magnanimous to them
when they are down.
They take the golden rule down into
the gymnasiums of every first class coli
lege and school and say to the youth of
today, who is TO be the citizen Of to-
morrow, PUT ON the gloves, young
man, and learn that you positively shall
not, in the boxing ring at least, do any
thing unto others which they shall not
do unto YOU"
Quite apart, therefore, from Its phys
ical benefits, which + greater than
those OF any other form OF athletics,
quite apart, too, from its utility in mo.
ments Of personal peril, which il toe
obvious TO need pointing out, ] rejoice
mt the undoubted growth OF boxing in
the general favor as q distinct and val
liable moral advance. 1t is already
taught in nearly all our leading college,
and private schools. hope to live Il
see 1t taught In all our public higl
schools, and this more as o 9 o
moral discipline than OF physical i'm
provement.-Donahoe's Magazine.

TO HARNESS THE TIDES.

e"
The Colossal Idea Of Mr. Davies. which He
Has Demonstrated In . Small way.
Mi. Davies of Wood Green has nm
barked on a scheme which promises CO.
lossal returns. He intends utilizing
tidal energy for electric lighting, tram
ways and railways. The notion Is not
entirely new. In 1881 Professor Thomp-
son pointed out that no fewer than co..
900, 00O, 900 foot pounds of energy were
wasted each year at Bristol alone. One
tenth part of this energy would, 1t Is
stated, light the city with electricity.
while one-tenth part of the tidal force
of the Severn would be sufficient to IL
Illuminate every city in the empire. Sci
entifc men have all agreed that the only
possible mode is to have immense reser-
yoirs, which would fill at high tide and
ran out on the ebb into the tidal way
through turbines. To this there has al
ways been one disadvantage-no invent
or could show a greater length of eff
cient working power than six hours
daily.
Mr.. Davies claims, after an immense
amount of thought, a deal Of expert
ment and considerable outlay, to have
invented apparatus by which he can
work turbines from the rise and fall of
the tides every minute during the "a
hours at a saving Of 400 per cent over
steam engines of similar power. His
experiments on a small scale off the
Cheshire coast incline him to believe
that it will speedily become an immense
commercial success and an affair of ma.
tional importance.-London Figaro.

The FirstPhsnix.

Legend tells MS that the first phenix
was born in the garden Of Eden and
had its nest in a great red rose-the
FIRST rose that ever bloomed. When the
angel drove Adam and Eve out of para
disc, a spark of FIRE fell from the an
gels fiery sword and burned up the
phenix and his nest. Out Of the ashes
sprang a glorious bird, which also lived
500 years before mysteriously burning
itself, at every recurrence of which q
new phenix is said to arise.-New York

ne In S~NgheAded, Obstinate, Unsociabie
md Unmanageahle Brute.

Ma h NghGAdeds Oh@ftnAtes Unsociabae
and Unmanageahle Brute.
Camels are not like horses. If q horse
does not want to do anything, we make
him. If a camel does not want to do
ANYTHING, he leaves il undone. No
amount of coaxipg, no amount of cruel
ty, will mako him bulge. He has the
determination of q muio combined with
the strength OF an e~lcf,hant. A camel
ID one of those a~ggrayating brutes which
will drive a hot tempered man to distrac-
ton. Nothing will persuade him to lis
ten to reason. He will oppose your will
with a passive resistance that is abso-
lutely unconquerable.
The only way to treat q camel is to
humor if you cannot humbug him.
They will often lie down il you load
them with the ~proverbial last straw,
and you might beat them to death or
offer mp all the pleasures OF paradise be-
fore they would get up. They are pig
headed beasts. Sometimes when they
have quite a light load they turn nasty
and throw themselves to the ground.
But although they are obstinate they
are not cute, and an Arab, by pretend
ing to submit, can generally get the
better of the stubborn beasts. The driv-
ers will SYSTEMATICALLY remove three or
four packages from the load, and the
animal, with an inward chuckle OF
satisfaction, rises at n C without per-
ceiving that the parcels have meanwhile
been returned to their former place. AS
he ~flatters himself he has shirked some
of his duty he swings away with a light
heart, gratiHed beyond measure, like a
spoiled child, at having his wi way.
The camel is an unsociable beast. He
Ia also habitually dull, except when be is
shifting the salt air of the desert. When
he is treading the sands, with the burn
ing sun on his back and the boundless
waste before him, he feels himself at
home. The immense heat makes him
bubble over with pleasure and fills his
frame with a sublime intoxication. 1t
has been stated on the best authority
that he can go nine days without wa
ter. And If you had ever seen a camel
drink when he does get a chance Of
q~uenching his thirst You would not be
surprised at this. They have been
known to put away TX gallons at a
time.-Ashton Reporter.

Yankton Press, s.: An excellent arti-
Gle discussing the U. S. S~enatorship
question, will be found in the Huron
State Journal of the 3rd. 1t is published
in the Press Il Dakotan today, and cor
daily endorsed. Senator Pettlgrew is
in full accord with the soundest senti-
ment of the state on national questions
he does not radically differ from the
republican position on any question, and
where an apparent difference is alleged
it viii be found upon investigation that
the difference is about the same as a
question of residence between a pioneer
and a later conner. AS the State Journal
wisely and tersely says, referring TO the
financial question: 1.-The fact of the
matter really is, that the bi metallic
plank of recent republican platforms is
construed in its broadcast and most liber-
al sense by Mr.. Pettigrew, and in a mar.
and more conservative sense by
other republicans" This is a fact. The
republican party is in favor of the
double standard-with an international
agreement il possible-hut Il double
standard any way.

Sioux City Tribune, o: Under the
the present tariff law raw sugar comes
in free Of duty and = cent per pound is
LEVIED on refined sugar. Under the Viii
son bill, as it passed the house, all sugar,
both raw and refined, was to come in
free OF duty. Under the Senate bill, as
it was reported 10 the senate by the
finance committee, raw sugar was TO pay
a duty Of l cent per pound and refined
sugar was to paw more according to the
degree OF its refinement. Under the re-.
gised senate bill, as amended Monday,
raw.sugar is to pay 40 per cent. ad val
orem and refined sugar Is cent per
pound in addition. The difference in
these propositions, SO far as the payment
OF taxes it concerned, is shown by the
amount of revenue, actual and estimated,
under each. Under tho present tariff
the reyenue collected Mt the custom
house from sugar imports was $4,000.
Under the original Wilson bill the est.
mated sugar revenue was $l6,OOO,O00
Under original senate bill the estimated
sugar revenue was S42,OOO,OOO. Under
the senatebill as amended the estimated
sugar rsvenue Is $~50,Oo0.O0o. The mere
statement OF these figures is their sufi
cient calculation. The democratic par
ty went into power claiming that the,
would legislate in favor OF thu poor maj
and among the first thing they propos'
to do is to tax the breakfast table which
the republican party freed.
