AGAIN comes evidence from the

of anything in the nature of work is
we'll known, but his weakness for
carrying a gun led the War Depart
ment to believe that possibly he
might be made useful as frontier
soldier. The experiment of enlisting
a company of redskins was made, and
they were stationed at Fort Omaha.
Failure was the result. Lo was
pleased with the gun and the brass
buttons on his uniform, but he alb
horred the little work required in
drilling and the enforced use Of soap
nearly crazed him. The War De-
partment, in disgust, has discharged

YOUTHS COMPANION: A bill has
been introduced in Congress to make
it unlawful for any alien to work for
wages in the United States while re-
tanning his residence in another
country. The bill imposes as pen
atty fine upon the laborer, and a
larger fine for the employing person.
The proposed measure is aimed
chiefly at industrious men and women
who come daily or weekly, or at
longer intervals, across our borders to
labor in the United States, and give
dollars worth Of work for dollar
so long as they remain. The only
| farlt that can be found with them is
that they do not come TO stay. One
of the most serious objections to the
| immigrants whom we emphatically
| do not want is that too often they do
come to stay. They are assisted
hither by governments glad to be rid
of them, in the hope and almost with
the certainty that they will never be
able to return. They are the shift
| less improvident or vicious corners
who fill our almShOuses and prisons
with themselves and their progeny.
They are the unfortunates bred in
i the slums of the old world, and
shipped hither by padrones to swell
the number Of salaried beggars who
exhibit their deformities on the street
corners. Begin by keeping these out.
It will be early enough by and by to
think Of putting up the bars against
the few laborers who come across our
borders with their dinner-pails.

CHICAGO GRAPHIC: There is one
bit of "advice to young writer's" which
none of the erudite articles upon the
subject have given, and that is the
necessity of brevity in addressing the
editor. If there is anything to be
said let it be said in the most concise
manner possible. Do not .impart to
him a history of all the productions
of your pen, and plan of all you in
tend to do, and, above all, do not ex-
plain to him the gist of the article
submitted-he will probably see it
himself if it is there. Do not sug-
gest any change in the policy Of the
paper and try to convince him he
has made a mistake in rejecting your
articles, and never invade the sane
tum when you can avoid it, remem-
bering always that the postman can
be trusted with your manuscript, and
the only Influence" your presence
can have upon him is one that could
hardly benefit your cause.

CANINE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME.
Stories Which Seem to Prove Wonderful
Perception of This Kind.

Stories Which Seem to PrOVe WOnucriui
Perception of This Kind.
A cores ondent of the Boston
Transcript recently sent commun1-
cation asking if dogs know time, and
then related some stories showing
that they do. One Of these stories
is about collie which starts every
afternoon to meet his master, who
always comes on the $40 train.
Trains are continually coming and
going, and whistling and ringing,
but Pete pays no attention to any
but this one. AS soon as its whistle
is heard he begins to bark joyfully,
and never makes mistake. Another
dog became so much accustomed to
going to the schoo,house every morn
ing with his little master that, when
the boy was absent for several weeks,
the dog still went on going to school,
arriving punctually at 8 o'clock ev-
cry morning. Moreover, he never
went on Saturday or Sunday. With
regard to the first case it might be
replied, perhaps, by a skeptical per-
son that the dog was more likely to
be able to distinguish the special
whistle of the locomotive which drew
the $3.50 train than to know it by the
hour of the day. And yet there is
no doubt that dogs do know when a
certain hour arrives at which some
thing regular and accustomed takes
place. The second case seems to
prove this very thing. There is
case on record in which doctor who
was accustomed to visit certain
village at certain hour on certain
day each week, always found dog
of his acquaintance waiting for him
outside the town, and it was proved
that the dog never came to the place
at any other day or hour. Evidently
all that can be said in explanation OF
such cases is that animals are sus-
ceptible of having periods or circles
of time established in their intelli-
gence by use and that their ignorance
of timepieces only serves to make the
instinct the keener. 1t is we'll known
that men who have never possessed
watches and who work or hunt habit
ually at a distance from clocks are
very expert at estimating the lapse
of time Perception of this kind un-
doubtedly may be cultivated in an
intelligent animal as well as in man.

Produce Fine Cotton,

The full story of the horrors suf-
fered last summer from the hurri-
cane which desolated the islands
along our southern Atlantic coast
will never probably be fully told.
The newspapers were full at that
time with accounts of the misery OF
the people and the utter desolation
wrought. At least 1000 human
beings lost their lives, 1000 persisted
subsequently from exposure and dis
ease, and between 20, and 80, 900
were left homeless and helpless. In
Scribner's Magazine Joel Chandler
Harris, who has been in the South
visiting the scene of the disaster,
Gives an interesting account of the
present condition Of the islands, and
also tells something about the peo-
pie who live on them. 1t is from this
article that the following account is
summarized:
The Sea Islands, as these are called,
cover good deal Of territory alto
gether, for they reach down the
whole coast from Charleston to Sa-
vannah. Those lying between Sa-
vannah and Port Royal are not so
large, either in area or population, as

The Rich Mendicants of France.

Mendicancy would appear to be
almost as profitable in the outlying
suburbs of Paris as in the city ITSELF
where beggars sometimes die leaving
substantial legacies behind them for
their next Of kin. Victor Hayet,
aged 40, was supposed to be one of
the most destitute and almsworthy
inhabitants Of Joinville le- Pont,
where he dwelt in howell by night
and begged on the roads by day.
For the last week he had disappeared
from sight, and the police having
been communicated with went to the
hut, burst open the door, as there
was no answer to their knocks, and
found Hayet dead on the floor inside.
His body showed no marks Of foul
play, and it was clear that the man
had died suddenly from heart disease.
In dirty cupboard of his miserable
room was found parcel of bank
notes amounting in value to 972O.
The mendicant'sdog was heard howl
ing in the cellar. The animal was
half mad with hunger, and it choked
itself eating lump OF bread thrown
to it by the policemen. London

In one of the humblest cottages in
San Diego, Cal, lives an old man
whose tall form and distinguished
appearance have made him a familiar
figure on the streets Of that city. He
may be seen any day going from door

him, peddling notions. This venera-
BILE old man, who was one day in
fairly comfortable circumstances, is
named Cyprian Clay, aud his father
was brother of that brilliant potit-
ical leader of bygone days, Henry
Clay. He is now 81 years old, and
his career of over four score years has
been an eventful one. He can recall
many of the most stirring incidents

The Ancient Idea of God.

A specially interesting subject &C.
cupied the Victoria Institute re-
Gently. Mr.. It. G. Pinches, Of the
Oriental Department of the British
Museum, describes some results Of
his examination Of the Babylonian
tablets. He showed from one Of
these, Of about the period $50 B. c.,
that the king used the word God as
a monotheist would: and even so far
back as 1000 B. G. the tablets bore
the same expression in the same
sense Evidence has, indeed, ac-
cumulated of late which tends to
show that the Babylonian Pantheon,
supposed to include thirteen deities,
was really monotheistic In the dis
cussion which followed Mr.. Rassam,
Maj. Gender, and Canon Girdlestone
took part, and it was pointed out
that in the early Egyptian records
also there was evidence of primi-
tive faith in one God. London Telc-

The Most Sensible Thing to Do When a

when desperate gets the drop

says James Skaggs. of Coffeyville,

"To throw up your hands is no reflec-

Game to death for beinga - fool. ,
The most desperate man will throw
up his hands when he has the worst

THERE is the ever-present demand
for good roads A hundred million
dollars could be spent within year
by towns, counties, States and the
nation in road-making, which would
repay the cost by the added value
given to land, especially farm land.
OF course it will be said that many
of the unemployed are not physically
able to do hard manual work on roads
and aqueducts; but if only half OF
the unemployed were earning wages
the problem of caring for the suffer
ing would be just SO much reduced.
An impulse would be given to all in

CONSIDERING the scandalous and
brutal hazing episodes that have dis
graced several of our universities
within the last few months, it seems
that some of those institutions might
do worse than try the disciplinary
system which obtains at BOWdOin and
two or three other colleges. The Bow
doin method places the government
of the undergraduate in the hands
of the students themselves, beyond
the reach of faculty interference or
presidential veto. They have full
power in all matters relating to good
order and good manners in the COL
lege, and of course have the full re-
sponsibility. The governing body is
called the college Jury" and its sue
cess may be judged from the state
ment of President Hyde, who says
that "the government of the students
by themselves has been better than
the government Of them by the facul-
ty could have BEEN" There is certain
ly food for reflection in these words
for the faculties of Cornell and other
colleges nearer home which have
shown themselves utterly incapable
of enforcing discipline or even COM
mon decency AS the college authori-
ties have been found lacking, suppose
they let the students assume the
reins of government for while.
They can't, at least, make worse
mess of it than their preceptors have
done

PREHISTORIC SKULL skull, next to the
remarkable state of it's preservation,
is the fact that it has been reduced
to about one-third of skulls nat
ural size by the exercise of some art
or process now unknown. Apparent
ly all the bones were removed from
the head, and all that now remains
is the skin which has ossified and be-
come as hard as stone. Whatever
may have been the nature Of this
process the features of the being still
remain. A long growth Of luXuriant
black hair is still attached to the
scalp, and hair of the same color form
very distinct eyebrows. The appear

that it was made the subject of some
strange religious ceremony after
death. To the back of the head and

some sort Of hide, and showing by
