British mounted police, under drec-

American citizens and aggressively
encroaching upon United States terri
tory on the Yukon river. According to
Carpenters story the British boundary
line has been extended 10 miles south

head tax or license fee of Sl5 per an
mum from all foreigners within this
territory. High duties are levied upon
all American imports to the Yukon

"Know Thyself "

The current cheap literature OF
the day is full of the experiences of
celebrities, and commentators fire.
quently present their methods of
work and their rules of life as exam
pies for the young. Everything is
taught to-day, and precept and ex-
ample are presented in many shapes
and many forms, sometimes too
7ariously for emulation. One man
lives to a hale and hearty old age,
and he has been teetotaler all his
life; another is equally we'll and
equally aged, and has never missed
a day without his wine and whiskey.
Examples Of smoking and non-smok-
ing abound, on both sides of life's
ledger. To apply the moral of these
experiences man has got to con-
slider his own constitution; some
men are born topers, and fitted for
it; others have no capacity for as
Stimulating alcohol. 1t is the same
with smokers and with everything
else; if at 40 you don't know exactly
what will promote your length OF
years and happiness you are a fool,
and it doesn't matter what you do;
otherwise you don't order your life
by other peoples experiences. l
know a betting man who has made
enough money on the turf to enable
him to indulge his taste as a biblio-
phile and student OF stage literature.
He has a wonderful collection of
books and manuscripts, knows the
entire history OF the stage, and has
a fine gallery of theatrical portraits,
lives in good style, is good hus-
band, a happy father, and all the
rest of it; but that is no reason why
one should take to betting and
spend ones working hours on race
courses, or sitting at the end of a
telegraph wire,-Cigarette Papers.

with view to successful prose-
cution of the advance from Dongola
to Khartoum was fully con sidered
some time back by the Cabinet, the
Horse Guards, and the War Office
authorities. Perfect uuanmity pre-
vailed, and still prevails, as to the
course to be pursued The result OF
these deliberations was that a COM
plete scheme was drawn up for
forwarding from 10000 to $4,000 men
to Egypt at short notice. Every de-
tail with regard to the regiments to
be drawn upon, the stores to be for
warded, and the transport arrange
ments is settled, and, though pigeon
holed for the moment at the War
Office, can be carried out with the
utmost rapidity and without the
possibility of the slightest hitch. 1t
is we'll understood that the financial
question is not to be allowed to
stand in the way of the recovery of
Khartoum.-The People.

Snakes Carried off a Calf.

A great den of snakes was dis
covered the other day in Hatton
cave, northeast OF Rocheport, Boons
county, Mo. Robert Hatton, farm
er living near the cave, was hunting
for a missing calf. While looking
around the bluffs in the vicinity of
the cave his attention was attracted
by huge black snake, which, upon
his approach, glided rapidly in the
direction of the caves mouth. Hat
ton pressed his way to the dark en-
trance of the cave and there, lying
on the ground, was his missing calf,
in the agonies Of death, while its
body was literally covered with
writhing, Kissing serpents. Hatton
fastened home for his gun. At each
shot he killed several reptiles, He
succeeded in driving the live ones
further back into the darkness Of
the cave. After rescuing his dying
calf he proceeded to count the num-
Der OF snakes killed. The number
was 1856. Hatton skinned one mon
ster reptile and brought the hide to
Columbia, where it has been stuffed
and is now on exhibition. 1t is IL
