With the character and extent Of Cal

are tolerably familiar, as a large por-

interior valleys, the traveller also get

redwood lands situated far from the
main lines Of travel and difficult of ap-
proach few persons have much accurate
information, and yet the tree growth
here presents more that is calculated to
interest and attract even the u~nscientifc
mind than anything found on the
mountains, a only the few scattered
groves Of the Sequoia gigantea, our
wonderful "big trees" With the ex-
ception Of the latter, the average size Of
the redwood, the Sequoia s~empervirens,

opinion as to the terms. of the. treaty.
This provides that the strip OF land ex-
tendlng southwark from Mount st. Elias
some 800 miles shall be ten marine
leagues Ia width. The Canadian
authorities claim that this means ten

and not from the coast line proper. The
claim ls too ridiculous to receive serious
consideration, and it will not. The other

In a letter dltr, i."H. winch has been
presented to the D.HNUtLeiUe Rationale
in Paris, a highly ingenious account is
given Of the origin of billiards. The
writer declares that billiards were in
vented in England about the middle Of
the sixteenth century by a p~awnbroker
named Bill Kew. This man, it is al
legged, used in his leisure moments to
play on his counter with the three brass
balls which he hung up as a sign. For a
cue he had a yard measure, whence the
term bill-yard, or Bills yard, corrupted
into billiards. This etymology will
hardly satisfy Mr.. Skeat, but it is at
least curious as showing to what length
the speculative e~tymologist is apt to go.
The los astonishing thing about it,
however, is the fact that it is the work
of a ~Frenchman, who might have seen
at a glance that billiards is merely a
corruption of his own word billiard, -
from "bille," a ball, the termination
lard" being perfectly regular and nat
ural in the composition Of a word in
tended to designate the table upon which
the balls are used. London Telegraph.

The Durham Rites.

The Durham Rites speak Of a great
store OF ancient manuscripts possessed
by the house to help the monks in their
study. The Rites" go OIL to say how
the store included 1.-The old ancient
written doctors of the church, as other
profane authors, with divers other hole
mems wourks, SO that every one dyd
studye what Doctor pleased them best,
havinge the Librairie at all times to go
and studye in, besydes their carrells."
From the same Rites we learn that
In the dOrmitory each monk had q little
chamber to himself with a window, o.
a bit of a window, and in the window a
desk for books, SO that he could study,
it he pleased, in the hours spent in the
dormitory. Special directions We're
given that the monks and novices were
not to be disturbed in their "carrells"
while they were studying.
In their care for education in days
when all training for the young. save
in arms and field sports, was compare
lively little thought Of. the record of
the monastic orders is an honorable one.
Besides maintaining "song school,
the more important houses regularly
trained their novices in other learning;
and again, 70 use the words of tho
Durham Rites, "''yf the Master dyd
see that any of them weare apte to

gence. Then streighteway after, he was

for education, which was sometimes
given freely and sometimes paid for.

pupils sen up from the abbey, ad-

The London Globe has received a dis
patch from Hong Kong which relates
that last fall Wong Chi Chuan was ap-
pointed 10y an imperial edict to go on a
special mission to Russia, ostensibly to
congratulate the new Gar Nicholas upon
his succession to the throne, but really to
convey to St. Petersburg a secret treaty
%conceding the right to Russia to carry
the Siberian railway through Manchuria
to Vladivostock and to construct a
branch railway from Tsitsikar and
Moukden to Eladivostock. The dispatch
in other respects confirms the Times
Hong Kong dispatch Of October %, as
g srting the existence Of a treaty between
Russia and China giving especial mill
tary and commercial advantages to the
former. The further information that a
feet OF fourteen Russian vessels arrived
at Port Arthur Monday is in contirma-
ton Of the secret treaty reports. Rus
STA appears at a decided advantage in the

De Smet News and Leader: The De
Smet creamery paid of last Monday for
September at the rate of 60 cents for 4
per cent milk. About eight thousand
pounds OF butter was made 10 Septem-
Der, and the patrons realized nearly thir-
teen hundred dollars net. All express
themselves as highly pleased with what
they are realizing, and intend getting
more COWS as fast rs pos, ible. We doubt
ifany country a show up as good record
for cows as can South Dakota. Very lit.
tie grain is being fed, and the COWS are
not we'll bred as a general thing. They
have no extra Care, the majority of them
picking a portion of their living on the
prairies. Notwithstanding this the com
post test for September at the De Smet
creamery was 49, for the cows Of ninety
seven patrons. The lowest test was 4
percent. This is a remarkably good rec
ord and proves concluslvely that this Is

DIAZ MAY AID THE CUBANS.
Mexico's President to END Troops to the
Island.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Private adj.
vices from Mexico Indicate that Mexico
may take a prominent part in the Cuban
insurrection. 1t is asserted that Presi-
dent Diaz is ready to extend materi.l
aid to the insurgents. Just IS soon as
he is asked to do so, it is reported, Diaz
will send several regiments of Mexican
troops to aid the Cubans. Cuba, the
advices assert, is ready to become a
state of the Mexican republic, and Diaz
sees an opportunity which he is ready
to seize. If this rumor is well founded
it is the most important chapter yet
added to the Cuban story.
