AFTER A REWARD.

1t seems that gentleman residing in
the northwestern section of the city re-
gently lost :. hound which he priced very
highly and for which he offered reward.
The promised reward was quite an in
ducement for the various members of
the police force. who kept sharp looku
out for stray hounds. Officer Gee was
the first TO notice struggling dog which
he thought might fill the bill. He at
once arrested his dogship and had him
locked up. Yesterday morning he lost
several hours sieep in conveying the lost
canine to the party who had advertised a
liberal reward for his return. The party
Immediately acknowledged that he did
not recognize Officer Gees prisoner as
his own dear dog. Gee lost the promised
reward, but he will perhaps look for big
ger game in the future

Frishtfu1 Mortality Among the Re.
concentrates in Cuba.
1t appears now that nearly IS per cenr
of the 100000 helpless women, children
and non-comhatants in Cuba affected by
former Captain General Wcyler's policy
are dead. Despite the orders issued by
Gen. Blanco to feed the starving, the
daily mortality of the remaining 'rccon-
c%entrados" is frightful.
The rabid Spaniards, who believe that
only by determination of the race can the
Cuban war be won, openly challenge the
good faith Of Gen. Blanco's statements
as to his intention to feed and find work
for those whom Gen. Wcyler has not
killed.
They jubilantly claim that the new can
tain general is enforcing the %barbarous
Concentration" of the country people ex-
actly as his predecessor did. The Ha-
vana press no longer prints the news from
the small towns. In one of the last arti-
cles upon the hunger situation it was call.

in Africa.

When the river Nile is high eno,is.,
at the time of its annual overflow. dams
in its banks are cut. allowing the water
to flow in canals which carry it into
the country. From these canals bitches
and cutters distribute it among the
farms. which are divided into squares
by ridges of earth Il few inches high.
The peasant regulates the flow of
water with his feet. by IL skilful use,
of his toes he makes M opening in Il
ridge or closes it up. and thus causes
the water to go where it is needed. "

eating the land, and Moses probably re-
fers to it when lie contrasts the rains.

valleys, and drinketh water of the rain
of heaven" Duet. IL: 1O-12.-Mission
