The Journal has received the 18th
annual report of Mr.. J. W. Poweii'
director of the bureau of ethnology, to
Hon. S. p. Langley, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution. The report Is
exeellently printed and finely Illus
trated This work contains a fund of
valuable information upon subject In
which the public of late years has be-
come mite interested. The obscCrity
surrounding the aborigines of this
country lends keen interest to those
who have taken up the work and the
systematic and scientific manner in
which it is being carried on under the
direction of the bureau of ethnology
is meeting with very gratifying results.
The report comprises a paper by w.
H. Holmes on prehistoric Textile

Gerard Fowke has one on stone Art,
Cosmos Mindeleff writes upon ABB
original Remains in Verde Valley, Ari-
IONA, j. Owen Dorsey upon Omaha

Mr.. Mindeleff also contributes and arti-
Gle upon Casa Grande Ruin" These
papers are unusually interesting for
treatises and the article, Out
lines of Zuni Creation Myths" is es-
pecially entertaining and instructive.
1t is from the pen of Frank Hamilton
Cushing, who made his home for sew
eral years with this remarkable tribe
in New Mexico. The report as
whole is one of the most valuable ever
issued from that department.

The Cost OF Free Lumber. y
(Boston Journal.)

Free lumber seems TO have had the
same unfortunate effect aS free wool
upon the prosperity Of the American pro-
ducers.
According to the returns of the COM
mcrclal agencies. free trade in lumber
has resulted In larger failures among
lumber manufacturers since the German
other industry except the manufacture of
wooden goods The American Economist
has received reports from 300 American
lumber mills. giving the number OF hands
they were employing last July and the
amount OF the wages they paid during the
month. as compared with July of 1892
the last year during which the Mckinley
act was in normal operation. These are
the figures summarized.

In other words. our experiment with
free lumber has resulted in reducing by
about IL per cent. the number of work
men in American lumber mills. and in re-
ducing the earnings of labor in like pro-
portion. 1t is obvious that the time had
not yet come when the American lumber
industry could safely dispense with tariff
protection.
Another and an incidental though inn
portant result OF this laundering exploit
of tariff reform is that by uncondition-
ally repeating our lumber duties we have
given away i'll advance one of the essen
lials of the negotiation of an equitable
reciprocity treaty with Canada.

Miss Retrousse is a pretty girl.
With a dimpled chin and her hair
a-whirl.
With a dainty foot in russell shoe
That leaves its print in the sand for YOU
Her nose is tilted the tinest bit.
Her eyes with azure fire are lit.
And on her head sits a jaunty hat
With a perky plume and the like of that
She moves with Il graceful elastic air
Her head erect, and never a care
To cloud the light of a sunny smile
That loaned to me its warmth erstwhile
This vision entranced me in July.
When the ar was soft and the moon
And every zephyr that fioated ashore
Bore a kiss to the cheek that bushes
wore.
She is still the angel I worshippesd then
And distantly see the hair a-whirl
And the stony stare of my summer girl

For the Venezuelan commission to
find that there is nothing for them to
find, might seem calculated to disap-
point them, but those who have never
seen in this question anything more
than the value of a little strip of
miasmatic swamp land are evidently
getting ready to rejoice in event of such
decision. One of these now advances
the theory that the commission will
discover that no true boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana
ever existed. We fail to see how such
an almost absurd result could avail the
peace-at- any-price party any solid
comfort. The need of establishing a
true boundary would be imperative and
the Venezuelan commission would have
the evidence upon which to establish
ii equitably if its work shall have been
well done. For England to refuse to
act justly under such conditions would
be as much of an insult to the United
States as for her to ignore true boun-
dairy which the commission might find
