Senator Dubois, Senator Cannon

Now directly effeCting the act Of

of the public is called to a letter from
Earnest Seyd to Mr.. Hooper on the
subject Of his mint and coinage bill

The Eskimo Character.

We found the Innuits very quick-wit-
ted and intelligent; with unvarying
good nature and keen appreciation of
fun, they proved themselves compan-
ionahle in spite of their uncleanliness,
Their skill manifested itself in many
ways during these long excursions.
Later in the year it showed itself, on
one occasion, in particularly interest
ing way. Having found it necessary to
cross glacier on hunting trip, our
Innuits paused at the edge and halloed
to ascertain the direction of the echo.
On the return storm of snow and fog
had obliterated all landmarks, but the
Innuits easily found the way by means
of the echo.
There was always a charm in their
strange melodies, and particularly at
night, as they slowly rowed along the
black waters among ghostly, beautiful
icebergs, under the starless sky. And
such melodies! They were like the
signing Of the winds, low, contented,
full-breathed, yet with an undertone Of
sadness. But at times their songs are
vehement with joy and action.-Frant

EARTH's GIANT VALLEY.
Fierce Nativep Indulge In Strange ana
Disgusting CustomA

Dis8ustinB CuSCOmA
The greatest valley in the world, &C
cording to DR.. J. w. Gregory, an Eng
lish explorer, Is the Great Rift vaL-
ley, which is an immense depression or
trough which runs through eastern
Africa 1000 miles from the Lebanons
almost to the cape" "The Great Rift
Valley" is the title of DIR. Gregory's
book, which has just appeared in Lon
don, which is the newest, most compre-
hensive and important of the works
that have appeared on this region.
One of the most fascinating portions
of this record of travel is that relating
to the Nasal, the most ferocious of tho
African races. You never can be sure
of your Nasal, even when you have
spat upon him and he upon you. That
IL how they swear eternal friendship,
DR.. Gregory says-the harder one spits
the more the other feels fattered. How
it is done and what the Nasal equivalent
for handshaking is the traveller explains
in this wise:
"The chief came up, and for the first
time held out 'knobkerry' cut from u
rhinoceros horn for me to shake. /, of
course, shook it, glad of this expression
of friendliness, though quite aware that
il it stopped at this it meant nothing.
But as 1 walked down the slope from
the camp after the men he came up
again, and this time not only held out
lis knobkerry, but as / shook one end
he shook the other. After walking q
few yards he repeated this more Wig
orously. Then at last he held out his
hand; we shook hands, at first coldly,
and then more cordially. Finally, after
we had walked a couple of hundred
yards, he repeated the process and the
chief spat upon me, salutation which
l returned with perhaps unnecessary
vigor. / had been warned that when
ever Nasal retire from a conference
without splitting the spit of peace
squalls may be expected. Twas, there
fore, much relieved when the friendly
rite had been performed"
But all this meant nothing, for that
very night band of Nasal warriors,
led by this same chief, came crawling
snaltily through the grass, bent upon
massacring the camp. But the traveller
was ready for them and they crawled
back, leaving several of their dead upon
the field.
DR.. Gregory's botanical and zoolog-
zeal observations are full of interest.
He seems to have solved one of the prob
lens that have vexed African explorers
for a long time: Why there should be
in some places vast heaps Of bones Of
animals all mixed together. Some
writer's have attributed this to the ac>
ton of deluge, but DR.. Gregory says
the bones are the remains Of animals
that in season of drought have fought
around the water holes for their las
drop.-N. Y. Journal.

COLOR LINEN SOUTH AMERICA.
1t Is as strongly Drawn There as in ANY
Part of America.

Part of America.
1t rarely if ever happens that native,
whatever his rank, is received on any
social occasion inside a white house; in
deed, he would seldom be permitted, ex-
cept as domestic servant, to enter q
private house at all. When Khama, The
famous chief of the Ba-Mangwato, a
Christian, and man of admittedly
high character, who ruled his people
with singular wisdom and ability, was
in England last autumn, and was there
entertained at lunch by the duke of
Westminster and other persons of social
eminence, the news excited general an
noyance and disgust among the whites
in South Africa. A story was told me
of garden party given by the wife OF .
leading white ecclesiastic, the appear
ance at which of a native clergyman led
many of the white guests to withdraw
in dudgeon.
Once, when I was guest at a mission
station in Basutoland, was asked by
my host whether objected to his bring
ing in I o the family meal native pastor,
who had been preaching to the native
congregation. When 1 expressed some
surprise that he should think it neces-
sary to ask, he explained that race feel
ing was so strong among the colonists
that it would have been deemed i'm
proper, and, indeed, insulting to make
a white guest sit down at the same table
with black man, unless special permis-
sion had first been given. Thus one may
say that there is NO social intercourse
whatever between the races; their re-
lations are purely those of business.
Now and then black man gets ahead
of the white. but the latter's pride of
race remains. l was told of white
who condescended to be hired 10 work
by Katir, but stipulated that the Kafir
should address him as Boss"
Of intermarriage there is, of course,
no question. 1t is not forbidden by law
in the two British colonies, as it is in
most, If not all, of the southern states Of
America, but it is excessively rare; nor
does it appear that there are now other
irregular unions outside marriages, as
there constantly were in the old days
while slavery existed. In this respect
the case of South Africa remarkably
resembles the southern states, where
also there is now very little mixture of
blood, though there was great deal
so years ago. Probably in both cases it
is better that the races should not min
gle their blood; for the white race would
be likely to lose more than the black
race would gain.-James Bryce, M. p,
in Century.

HOW GUNPOWDER is MADE.
The Part That Each of the Three Ingre-
dients Plays.

dients Plays.
Gunpowder then steadily developed
as mechanical skill constructed better
and better weapons in which to use it,
until to-day it has reached q perfection
of manufacture for various purposes
which allows it's effects to be foretold
in any weapon, even to the time it
takes o grain to burn, and to the dis
lance it will drive shot.
Roger Bacon's gunpowder was made
of saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal. Salt
peter is chemically called inter. and is
a natural product found bedded in the
earth in different parts of the world,
chiefly in India and China. Sulphur,
too, is found in a natural state in many
volcanic countries. like Sicily, while, as
is well known, charcoal is made from
wood or woody substances by heating
them almost to burning heat in an
alright vessel, thus driving off every
thing in them but carbon.
Saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal are
still the only ingredients of the gun-
powder in common use, although a new
gunpowder made of different materials.
Is undergoing successful experiment. A
mixture of saltpeter and charcoal alono
would form an explosive, and sulphur
is added chiefly to make it plastic, or
capable of being pressed into cakes and
shapes. All three ingredients have to be
purified by the most careful chemical
skill before they are combined. Then
an exact proportion of each has to be
b. l., .
powder to be made.
For the gunpowder generally used
you would find in every 100 pounds, il
you could separate the ingredients, rs
pounds of saltpeter, IS pounds Of char.
coal and ten pounds of sulphur: but it
would be almost impossible to separate
the ingredients, for they are not merely
mixed together as you might mix pep.
per and salt, but they are ground and
rolled and stirred and pressed together
by special machines until they are al
most sufficiently united to form single
new substance.
This mixing process is called "tritu-
ration" and the powder is thus made
into the form of big cakes, called press
cake, and then broken up, and screened
into grains of special sizes, or ground
to the fine powder used for shotguns
and revolvers. The rge-grained pow
ders are still further stirred together
until the grains become highly glazed,
and these are called cannon powders. A
lighted match may be held to a grain of
cannon powder and it will be found al
most impossible TO set it on fire but
once ignited it flashes off very suddenly
and violently.-Lieut. John M. Ellicott,
in st. Nicholas. 49, .... .. ,.... .,-...... ....

WHERE ARE THE BOYS

Where are tie boys that used to know?
Some Of their temples arc white with snow
And some have crossed over the river wide
And reached the home on the other side!
Tho meadow blossoms-the lilies blow
But where are the boys that used to
knew?
I have never written a song for fame;
have said to my soul: IF win a name,
Let it minglc still with the friends love-
If they sink balow-if they soar above!'
But the spring IS here, with her grace and
glow,
And where are the boys that I used to
know?
Where are the boys? &" Through the
lonely years
The world hath laughter-the world hath
tears,
And kiss from a woman's lips is sweet
But 1 never trample the stony street
But I think: There are hearts meath the
rocks; and oh,
Where are the boys Of long ago?"
God in the blue skies, and God in the sod!
And the world with one chorus that's echo
ing "God!'
And / whisper in sorrow, and moan in my
woe:
"Does God keep the lives of the boys long
ago?"
know not; but well remember the sweet
And wonderful roses that doomed at our
feet:
The sky that bent over us-rainbowed and
blue
The hands that were strong and the hearts
that were truel
Has life no real lilies? Is winter all snow
For the boys-for the boys Of the long ago?
Some died In battle. But 10! the storms
cease!
Ger the flash Of the fight smiles the Angel
of Peace;
And some, where the brave ships were
wrecked on the foam,
Died in sight of the lights In the harbor at
home!
How sadly my heart beats-how fast my
tears flow
When I think Of the boys that used to
know!
Here's health to them all IN q simple
rhyme:
When my song shall fail. may the sweet
bells chime
Welcomely over the deserts lone,
Jubllant after the grief and moan;
While over the wearisome winter snow
I drift-to the boys that used to knowl
