following, and having executed some
preliminary movements they went
through drill and series Of calisthenic
exercises with the easy, natural, simple,
supple grace Of healthy childhood, and a
precision of time and movement that a
company of the guards could not equal.
Tue little things looked so sweet in
their lovely frocks and their simple, Sc
rious little faces, and their drill was so
exquisi.ely done that the finest and most
gorgeous ballet ever invented would
have seemed common in comparison with
their performance. The princes face
beamed with the delight Of it, and the
patriarch Aundella. leaning forward in
his scat, followed the spectacle like a
schoolboy at his first pantomime. When
it was over. the prince called Miss ALI

thanked her and congratulated her upon
the efficiency Of her instruction. Pail

STUDY THE STAMP.

The great money monopoly dOeSn't
admire the stamp system. The rev.
enue law called stamp act was soon
abolished with the income tax. Both
are disliked by those who live off the
needs of the nation. The postoffice of
Uncle Sam is a big concern 1t is
larger than all the business of some
nations. 1t requires a large army Of
men to conduct it's affairs. Formerly
government hired these men for cash
direct, but depended on them to col
lect large part of their salaries di-
rect off the people. Later, about 1852,
it fell on the splendid labor saving
device known to US as the stamp.
What is the stamp in reality? 1t is
an order on any postmaster to collect
so much off any person who employs
him to transmit letter or paper, or
any other mailable article. You pay
your two cents, for example, re-
ceive the stamp and attach it to your
letter, delivering it to the postmaster,
who does his part. This postoffice
business is one of many things Uncle
you and you are daily paying him
Uncle Sam is paying out to a great
old army of pensioners nearly a half
million dollars per day orders on you
to do your part towards subsisting
them. Why then should he not give
his orders direct to them on you as he
does to his army of postmasters? He
Doesn't do it, but instead he goes to the
jewelers., Jews, money brokers and
hires of them at great expense all this
money-making you really pay several
millions more every year than nee
essary. He also hires a large army of
soldiers and sailors and others and
gives them orders on you for all, but
in the same roundab bout way. So he
pays the Indians and all his officers
In fact his expense for interest must
be twenty-five or thirty millions and
it could all be saved in the same way
Now why do you allow him to do so?
Can you think? Have you any'sense?
Or are you so green as to let those
Jews and jewelers. mock you out of
your wits?

That this theory is tenable there can

some of the most brilliant thinkers of

In European countries. in Asia and
Australia, as well as in the greater
portion of the United. States, all of the
smaller streams have disappeared
and the larger ones are rapidly dWin-
ding to mere rivulets. The waters of
the Great Lakes of America as well
as of the so-caIled Seas of Europe
and Asia, are fast receding from the
banks which formerly circumscribed
their boundaries. Between the years
1889 and 1891, according to the report
of government inspectors, the water
level of lakes Michigan, Huron and
Erie was reduced two feet, causing
the marginal line to recede hundreds
of feet along some of the shelving
banks. During the three years which
have elapsed since the date last above
given the retrOeession has been COM
paratively much greater. This being

Widest PART OF THE UNITED
STATES.

Assistant Chief Goode, of the United
States Geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the
widest region of the entire United
States is in an area of 1000 square
miles lying in the mountains between
Roseburg and Coquille, in Douglass
and Coos counties. He describes it
as mysterious, undiscovered country,
in which wild game roams undis-
turbed, and whose brooks and rivers
are filled with wild fowl. 1t is nearly
|all covered with a dense growth of
pine, fir, hemlock, and other trees
Many of the trees are of enormous
size, and stand so closely that it is
difficult for men to make their way
between them. Where the trees are
not so thick the heavy growth of
bushes of various kinds takes their
place. 1t is country that is filed
with all kinds of wild game, including,
as reported to him, elk, different kinds
of bear, mountain lions, deer, and
other animals, including lynXes. The
streams also have an abundance of
trout and other kinds of fish. He pen
etrated into the wilds a dozen miles
and saw things that filled him with
wonder at the vastness of the forest,
and that anyone should attempt to
live in it.-Northwest Magazine.
