Fifteen of the young people of the
Baptist church will give beautiful
Easter concert entitled "The Gates

evening.
The payment of taxes on the INSTALL
ment plan is advocated i'm some quar-
ters. The piling up of great sums of
money in the treasures of the state,
county and city long before it is needed
is considered unnecessary and only
putting burden on the taxpayer in
compelling him to provide at one time
money which he could otherwise pro-
vide, say in two equal installments, six
months apart.
A Washington dispatch of Saturday
pays Congressman Thomas of this Dis
trict the following compliment: "Dr.
Thomas of Michigan made ringing
speech in the House Wednesday on the
pension question, and was frequently
applauded as he marshaled fact after
fact, showing the hostile attitude of the
present administration towards the
soldiers as contrasted with the friendly
attitude of the previous Republican
administration.
The village board, at an adjourned
meeting held Tuesday evening, trans
acted quite bit of important business
important to the taxpayers because it
saves to them exactly 81 100 per year in
the operating expenses of the electric
light plant. Mr. Geo. Kessler was hired
as superintendent at 1920 per year;
James Whelpley as assistant at S240 per
year, and w. III. Mason as secretary at
800 per year. The schedule goes into
effect April 1, 1894.
The supreme court Tuesday morning
rendered decision sustaining Gov.
Rich in removing Secretary of State
Jochim, State Treasurer Ham bitzer,
and Land Commissioner Berry for gross
neglect of duty in failing personally to
canvass the returns or the amendments
of 1898. A judgment of custer was
entered, to take immediate effect.
Within few minutes after the decision
was rendered, Gov. Rich announced
his appointments to succeed the remov-
ed officials. They are: Secretary of
state, Washington Gardner of Albion;
state treasurer, j. M. Wilkinson of
Marquette; land commissioner, w. A.
French of Presque Isle county.

Alma-Tadema's House.

In an article on Alma-Tadema, in
the Century, Mrs. Edmund Gosse thus
describes the destruction Of the artists
house and its rebuilding:
By the year 1874 the decorations of
Mr. AlmaTadema's house, at the
North Gate, Regents Park, were COM
pleted and the whole effect was Of q
palace of exotic beauty In moment
all this beauty was well-nigh destroyed
by the explosion of a barge laden with
gunpowder and benzolin, which was
passing along the canal in front of his
house. The walls were cracked, the
windows broken. the front door, even,
was torn off its hinges, so that the
open portal showed on it's threshold
the almost too hospitable greeting Of
'Salve' to the outside world. NJ. Tis-
sot, the French artist, who was at that
time living in London, said that the
terrace OF houses nearest to the scene
OF the accident had all the appearance
of the streets of Paris after the bonn
bardment during the Commune There
is pretty story of the behavior on
this occasion of the two young daugh-
ters of the house They had ALWAYS
been told that if they felt frightened
at night they were to ring their bed
room bell: so, when they awoke sud-
denly, in the utter darkness, to find
the window-frame lying on their bed,
the ceiling falling in fragments and
hundreds Of hazelnuts-part of the
boats cargo-showering down upon
them, the elder child remarked to her
sister, in the high calm voice of author
lty, Anna, ring the bellr'
The news of the explosion was a
terrible blow to Mr. and Mrs. Alma
Tadema, who were travelling in Scot
land at the time. But Mr.. Alma-Ta
dema's splendid energy was equal to
the occasion, and he at once saw
means for improving his house. The
outer walls were, first of all. firmly
clamped together with huge iron grid
ers; next, the inner house was consid
cred. New doorways were cut through
the side walls, arches were construct
ed, and here and there slim. support
ing column was added. The whole as
pect Of the place became, if possible.
more charming and fairy-like than be-
fore. The artist decorated the ceiling
of his studio in the Pompeiian style
with figures Of his own hand in dc.
sign of light floral festoons, dividing
the space into panels of different sizes
and shapes. For these Mr.. Alma-Ta.
dema made some charming sketches
of dancing nymphs and tootling satvrs

AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
And When it was All Over the Station
Agent Mended Things.

And When it was All Over the Station
Agent Iended Things.
At way station On the Louisville
and Nashville one winter the station
keeper had an exciting time. 1t was
midnight. and the station being in
deserted part of the country had been
left by the loafers. 1t began to rain.
The station keeper was not sleepy and
determined to sit up great part of
the night. especially as he had an un-
usual sum of money in his cash drawer
and he felt uneasy about 1t.
Robberies of stations and farm
houses down the line had been fire.
Quent. So he settled himself down 10
vigil. AS he felt hungry he took
can of cove oysters down from the
shelf and set it on the stove. A mo-
ment afterwards there was knock at
the door and he admitted cold,
drenched tramp, whom he allowed 10
lie down by the fire. Just then tram
came around the bend and the statlon
agent stepped outside to display the
go-ahead signal He felt dlstrustful
of the tramp and feared that he WOULD
fool with the money drawer. AS the
| train passed he hurried into the room
and had scarcely opened the door and
seen the tramp standing by the stove
with something glistening in his hand
when there was Il report and the agent
felt a stinging sensation over his eye.
Although blinded with blood from
the wound, he drew his pistol and
fired five times into the room. He
then dashed round to the rear of the
station and hid under the platform.
After an hours time he crawled out,
resigned to the loss of his money and
thankful that he had escaped with his
life. The room was dark; the fire was
out. The tramp had evidently es-
capped with his booty. Sorrowfully the
agent lit a match, but instantly drop
ped it when a startling sight met his
eyes. He lit another one, found
candle and gazed about at the scene of
desola ton
The lamp had been shattered by
bullet. A cheese had been perforated
with two bullets. The room was filed
with smoke from the stove-pipe, which
fourth bullet had perforated. Strang
est of all, the room was filled with
cinderS, and oysters frescoed every
thing. Oysters, oysters. oysters, cove
oysters. The agent graSped and real
lied it all. The can had remained in
the stove too long and being sealed
up had exploded from the steam when
the tramp poked the fire. Of course
the tramp skipped when the shooting
commenced. The cash drawer was in
tact. A piece of tin was found near
the door, where it had recoiled off the
agents face. The agent spent the re-
mainder of the night in mending the

RIGHTS OF ANIMALS.
Perhaps We Ought to Treat Them With
More Ciyility and Respect.

More Civility and Respect.
Sir Arthur Heirs insisted on "cour-
tesy" to animals. Ne are to be civil
spoken to them, and not to bully where
we might persuade, Count Tolstoi
never uses the Y. nip; he simply talks
to his horse. Mr.. Bright long since fol-
lowed on the same side as Sir Arthur
Helps. He thought that kindness to
animals should be taught at school.
This is awkward, says a writer in the
London Daily News, for he loved to
hook some of them by the gills, for
sport. 1t is needless to say that every
form Of sport is barred by Mr.. Salt
and his school There is, Of course, no
] lack of champions on the other side.
Some writers argue that because ami
mails have mo souls" we are entitled
/ to do what we like with their bodies.
Mr.. Wood-the naturalist altogether
declined to accept the premises. What
do we know about their souls? he ask
ed; and it is clear enough that he hoped
his faithful dog would bear him COM
/ pany in the next world. The brutes,
he said, have reason, language, mem
Iory, a sense OF moral responsibility, un-
selfishness and love, and there are no
1higher qualities In the spiritual bag
1gage of man. If they have no hope of
a future life, argued Primatt, one of
their earliest champions, there Is all
the more reason for acknowledging
their right to good time In this one.

Snakes in the Home Circle.

One would hardly expect to find rep
tiles domesticated, but they are found
In that position at Para, not far from
the mouth Of the Amazon, says the
{ Pail Mall Budget. The stores and
warehouses Of that city are overrun
with vermin of all sorts, and more es-
pecially rats. To keep down this
plague young boas or jibolas are placed
in the cellars, and subsist comfortably
on the plentiful supply Of food thus af-
forded. The BraZilians say that they
keep down to reasonable limits the
/ rats, which would otherwise play havoc
! with any goods they could get at. The
Hong intervals accounts for the fact
sthat there always seem to be just rats
enough for their subsistence, while they
perform their catlike duties most salts
kfactorily. But, as we have said, they
falso act as very efficient watchdogS.
The skin Of the boa Is an article Of
commerce both in the Brazils and East
ern Asia In the latter its chief use is
to form the heads Of banjos and other
native musical instruments, it being
extremely tough and hard. In Brazil
it is also used at lines to make riding
boots, and forms an excellent substi-
Ltute for upper leather, that Of the
fanaconda being the best. AS to vital

track, except man and domestic ami

Ijaguar knows enough to flee before the
invading host, but the snake does not
Iappear to realize his danger until at

Curious Indian Games and Sports.

a We had some quiet plays which we
alternated with the more severe and
warlike ones. Among them were
throwing wands and snow-arrows. In
the winter we coasted much We had
no ''double-rippers'' nor toboggans. but
six or seven of the long ribs of buf-
falo, fastened together at the larger
end, answered all practical purposes.
Sometimes Il strip of Eastwood bark,
four feet long and half foot wide
was used with much skill. We stood
on one end and held the other, using
the inside of the bark for the outside
and thus coasted down long hills with
remarkable speed.
!, Sometimes we played "Medicine
Dance" This to us was almost what
playing church is among white chill
dren. Our people seemed to think it
an act of irreverence to initiate these
dances, but we children thought other
wise; therefore we quite frequently
enjoyed in secret one of these perform
ances. We used to observe all the i'm
portant ceremonies and customs at
tending it, and it required something
Of an actor to reproduce the dramatic
features of the dance. The real
dances usually occupied a day and a
night, and the programme was long
and varied, so that it was not easy to
execute all the details perfectly: but
the Indian children are born imitators.
/ was often selected as chOirmaSter
on these occasions, for l had happened
to learn many of the medicine songs,
and was quite an apt mimic. My
grandmother, who was a noted medi
cine woman, ON hearing Of these Sacri-
legious acts (as she called them, warn
ed me that if any of the medicine men
should learn of my conduct they would
punish me terribly by shrivelling my
limbs with slow disease
Occasionally we also played white
man." Our knowledge Of the pale-face
was limited, but we had learned that
he brought goods whenever he came,
and that our people exchanged furs
for his merchandise. We also knew,
somehow, that his complexion was
white that he wore short hair on his
head and long hair ON his face, and
that he had coat, trousers and hat, and
did not patrOniZe blankets in the day
time. This was the picture we had
formed of the white man. SO we paint
ed two or three of our number with
white clay, and put on them birchen
hats, which we sewed UP for the occa-
sion, fastened a piece of fur to their
chins for beard, and altered their
costume as much as lay within our
power The white Of the birch bark
was made to answer for their white
shirts Their merchandise consisted
of sand for sugar, wild beans for cof-
fee dried leaves for tea, pulverized
earth for gunpowder, pebbles for bull
lets, and clear water for dangerous

goods with skins of squirrels, rabbits
