simply another chapter in the sombre
history of the determination of an in
telligent and heroic race, which would
not assimilate with our own. Whether
the Matabele or Zulu is a member of
the Ethiopian or black race, or of the
red, brown or Malay, he represents a
noble type of humanity. According to
their legands, they governed large
part of Africa not once, but several
times.
Under their great leader, Chaka, they
became the most formidable nation up
on the dark continent, but since then
they have been going steadily down.
The present revolt promises to be the
last Thirty thousand, fifty thousand,
a hundred thousand stalwart and fear
less warriors are a mere nothing
against battery of Maxim and Hotch-
kiss guns. 1t seems pitiful, but appar-
emily there is no other course. Two
other races so much like them as to
suggest the closest relationship. the
Maori of New Zealand and the Kanaka
of the Sandwich Islandh are under
going the same fate.
The Kanaka has dwindled in three
centuries from at least a half million
to about thirty seven thousand. The
Maori, in less than two centuries, has
sunk from two hundred thousand to
about fifty thousand The Zulus, in
Guiding the Matabeles, are going
through the same ordeal with more
greater rapidity. The women in all
three instances have long been praised
as the finest types of physical woman
hood upon the earth Physiologically
they are perfect models of what the sex
might be and ought to be. They possess
much of the heroism of their husbands
and brothers and are good wives and
admirable mothers. Uninfuenced by
civilization, they lead good lives and
are free from any vices, unless the prac-
tees of superstition be included under
TINS mead. But with the introduction
or civilization something goes wrong.
Many become drunken, many become
murderers and many acquire the worst
tendencies of our own race. 1t is a very
eloquent commentary upon our methods
and upon our ideas of humanity and
right doing.-New York Dispatch.

THE HARP OF THE WEST.

o cline of the sunset! more richly en-
dowed
Than Hispan the knightly or Gallia the
Where the lakes of old Scotia are lost in
the maze
OF thy thousands that mirror their heavy
fringed banks
OF mountain and crag; and the stateliest
ranks
That ever stood sentinel watch to the
gaze
OF a sky bending closer and breathing
more near
Than heart ever throbbed to the fall of
tear.
Though the soul be as barren as Cobi's
bleak health,
And the spirit of song in the cold throes
of death
Can humanity throttle the play of the
Ger the harp that old Nature unwittingly
strung
When the windows of heaven wide open
We're flung,
For thousands of years to thy masterful
trees?
Can the ear fail to hear or the eye fail to
Thy sweet song, thy rich crown. great
Yosemite?
Though the brow of Olympus was crowded
with thrones,
And the cliffs of Parnassus resounded the
tones
their god,
Not Apollo's great steeds nor the flame of
his car,
Nor Mars with the terrible glitter of war,
Could dazzle the face of thy sun and thy
Bright Star of the West, Thou art en-
pire's own idol
The steed of the lightning, untamed to the
bride.
What is history's wreath but the record
of death?
Time breathes on the tablet it fades with
his breath;
But Nature has written in language SO
strong
And stamp its own letters to fill up the
space.
Our castles are mountains, our history
long
So long that we simply write God on the
page,
And leave all the nations to guess at our
age.
Our song is the present; God fills up the
past
With His rock-written letters-a volume
so vast
No hand may transcribe what He leaves
as His own
From Sinai we come, with his prophet OF
To the valley where glitters the altar OF
gold.
Shall We break in our frenzy the tables
OF stone?
No, The letters are fresh and deer
craven the hand;
Far too sacred our charge; as He writ, lei
them stand.
When those tablets of Nature shall WELD
TO the brain,
And some bard shall interpret the words
they contain,
What song shall burst forth from the
prison of thought,
AS ms hand passes over the magica
1 strings,
| And each chord at his touch into unison
springs
As the wing of it's impulse is hastily
caught
NO harp more divine in the turn of the
earth
Shall throb to the measures of sorrow and
mirth,

Lopsided Laws.

God made the sexes to work togeth-
er. The country is half orphan with
the mother element dormant. They
should consult together about mutual
interests, and enact proper legislation.
The laws are all lopsided; women will
make them symmetrical. Note the
poor widower left with children to care
for. He struggles in vain for time,
and then either gives up the task or
calls in some good woman to do her
part and bring order out of chaos.
The country is in similar predica
mcnt and needs the aid of women.
The new woman will doubtless marry
when the new man asks her. Perhaps
it will be by contract framed to dea
justly with all parties. Then will
arise new race of beings. Peace and
prosperity will reign upon earth and
divorces will be unknown.

Daughters Of the Revolution.

Miss Mary F. Eastman said at
recent equal suffrage meeting:
We mean d revolution, because so me
things are upside down. No wheel is
progressing shat does not revolve.
Some people do not recognize them
selves as Daughters of the Revolution
until hundred years after the people
who made the revolution are dead.
Others are the daughters of revolu-
ton now going on.
A woman often thinks she has all
the rights she wants, because her hus-
band is better that the law. But is he
better than the law, if he is not trying
to make the law as good as he is?
What business has the law to be worse
than the best man in the country-or
than the best woman? Women are
often spoken of as u reserv, d force.
What is reserved force good for that
cannot be called in when we are los
ing the battle? What is a reserved
force good for if it is to stay reserved
There are things that need women all
along the line, and the reserved force
is coming-thank God!

Death Of Judge DennisOn.

Judge B. +. Dennison passed away
in Olympia, Friday. April II. Death
brought an end to a long and distress
ing illness, in which life was prolonged
to great extent by vigorous consti
tuition and an indomitable will power
Judge Dennison was one Of Wash
ington's leading figures in it's terrific
rial history. In 1868 he was appointed
associate justice, and in the year fol-
lowing President Grant elevated him
to the position of chief justice. He
served two terms in the territorial leg
islature, one as presiden of the council,
and the other as member OF the
lower house. He passed through all
the phases OF pioneer life, socially and
professionally, attending courts in
tents, without law books Or briefs, the
judge upon the bench bein armed with
bowie knife and derringer. His was
most varied career, surrounded by all
the dangers and experiences of an ex-
citing pioneer life
Deceased was one of the Argonauts
of California He was born in Burke,
Caledonia county, Vermont, in 1920,
and was consequently rs years of agr.
In 184S he was struck with the gold
fever, and after hard experience in
crossing the plains and ten years spent
roughing it, and in mercantile pursuits
in California. In 1858 he came to
Puget sound and located in Whatcom,
then city of three thousand people
living in tents and awaiting the open
ing of q trail to the Fraser river mines.
Later he went to Port Townsend where
he established his home and engaged
in practice. Tt was during his resi-
dence in that city that he was made
chief justice. In 1870 the Judge moved
to Olympia, subsequently, to Portland,
Oregon, in partnership with Governor
A. c. Gibbs for two years, and then to
Vancouver, Washington, where he fol
lowed a general practice until 1889,
from which place he came to Olympia.
The first suit ever brought in this
territory to establish the right of dover,
was brought by Judge Dennison, be-
fore Judge William Stong in behalf of
Mrs. Ebv, widow of Col Ely, collector
of customs, who was ma sacred on
WILDLY Island by the Northern In
dams The judge defended the
widows rights and established her
claim, and that decision has since
stood upon our stature books, never
having been called in question.
Commencing his political life as a
Wing, Judge Dennison afterwards
joined the republican party, and has
continued one of its most earnest and
faithful Observation-Disclosures,

DIR. FAY's statistics in regard to
marriages of the deaf bring out curl
Gus fact hich is directly contrary to
what people would ordinarily think.
When both partners were deaf, the per-
centage Of marriages resulting in deaf
offspring from 2,377 marriages was
1926, but when one partner was deaf
and the other hearing, in the case of
500 marriages 1882 per cent resulted
in deaf offspring. Of the children born
in marriages of the first kind 8.45S per
cent were deaf, of the second kind
1856 per cent were deaf Looking at
the facts in still another way we find
that of the children born to every hum
dred deaf persons married to deaf per-
sons 1891 per cent are deaf. while
25.812 per cent of those born to every
hundred deaf persons married to hear
ing persons are deaf. It seems that
foreign staticians have arrived at SINH
lar results. So far no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION has been given of these facts.
