THE suRRo AS AN ACTOR.


While making the ascent of Pixies peak,
before the completion of the cogwheel rail-
road, a traveller had an amusing expert
ence-amusing after it was over.
Speaking of that experience, the noun
| taineer said II hired burro at the Half
Way house, stating that l would not re-
turn until next day, as l was ambitious
| TO sleep, If just one night on the highest
| inhabited spot In the United States-the
summit of Pixies peak. The liveryman
assured me that the burro was all right.
All you've TO do is to hold on, and he'll
carry you through, he said.
"In about half mile the burro stopped
short, pulled out his sides as If he was very
tired, and looked around at me with such
a sorrowful expression that thought he
was surely broken down and sick near un-
to death. l dismounted and led him about
half a mile, sympathizing for him and re-
serving my opinion of the liveryman who
would with malice aforethought hire to
tourist broken down burro. Finally re-
mounted, and had not proceeded quarter
of a mile when the burro again stopped,
began blowing like bellows, and looked
around at me with his sleepy, blinking
eyes, mutely asking me if 1 was not
ashamed to impose upon a sick mule.

most level part of the road l remounted,
and in less than ], 100 yards he stopped
and gave me another mute appeal. / then
thought that the burro was really about to
yield up the ghost and was fearful that he
would not last until the summit was
reached. walked along up the remain
ing two miles of very steep grade, the
burro trudging along after me with appar-
ent difficulty. On arriving at the summit
/ gave the reins to the liveryman relat-
ing the circumstance, and after expressing
my opinion of the keeper who rented to
me the sick mule suggested that the burro
be not fed for at least few hours
THE liveryman's face wore a bread
grin, and he gave me a look which seemed
to express sympathy for my overkindness
or grecnness. He gave the burro thump
in the side, saying: That's one of his old
tricks. This burro amt no more sick than
you arc-not as much.

scampered away as if enjoying his bunko

Not a Vegetable. but a .Hextra.r

At an old fashioned hostelry two gentle
men were dining when dispute arose as
to what pineapple was.
One of the diners insisted that it was a
fruit. The other, with equal confidence,
gave 1t as his opinion that pineapple was
a vegetable. A wager was at once made,
and the friends determined to accept the
decision OF the waiter, who was called to
the table.
John, asked one of them, how do
you describe pineappleS Is it fruit or
is 1t vegetables"
The waiter rubbed his hands, placed his
head on one side, and with plying smile
replied:

Atmospheric Warmth.

The sun does not impart heat to the at
mosphere directly. II it did, 1t would be
nearly as warm on the top of high noun
tain as it is at tho sea level Its rays
warm the earth, and the earth radiates, or
throws off, the heat thus received into the
surrounding air. The density of the air
near the carth's surface prevents the heat
from escaping into space. The rarity of
the air at high attitudes permits it to
escape. That is why mountain peaks are
clothed in perpetual ice and snow while
the temperature at the foot of the noun
tain may be quite warm. The atmosphere,
by thus holding the heat radiated from
the earth, is Kept about 500 degrees f.
warmer than outer space.-Philadelph

STEERING BY ECHO.
An Incident of Travel on the Inla nd
Steamer Route to Alaska.

II believe the inland steamer route to
Alaska is the finest pleasure trip in tho
world, said Mr.. La Verne w. Moves the
other day, speaking of his own experiences.
1.-The scenery is indescribably beautiful,
and the water, separated from the Pacific
by chain of islands, is as smooth as any
harbor in the world. But at many points
along the route the channel is quite tortu-
Gus and full of rocks and whenever fog
is encountered every movement of the ship
is fraught with danger
Il was awakened about 3 O'Clock one
morning by long blast of the steamers
whistle. This struck me as unusual, for
vessels are rarely met on that trip and
there are comparatively no settlements
moment later | heard the captain and
the pilot on the bridge over my stateroom
engaged in "A very lively colloquy.
" i tell you it's right there said one of
them excitedly. 1t must be or We'll be
on the rocks in a minute!
THAT was enough for me- I tumbled
out of my berth and, half dressed rushed
out on deck just as the whistle gave an
other mccarthy screech 1t seemed to be
answered Immediately by another whistle
near by, and imagined we were meeting
a steamer.
NHaO uiu tcll you! crleu tne pllOt.
There she is all right
After waiting ten minutes or more,
hoping to be able to catch "a glimpse of the
strange craft, l accosted the captain and
asked him where the other steamer was
My question nearly gave him an epileptic
tit We had run into dense fog and our
pilot was guiding us in that crooked chan
mel and among those treacherous rocks by
the echoes sent back from the mountains
which here and there rise precipitously
from the waters edge. "-Chicago Times

NO MORE CHINESE
Final Action Taken by
Cabinet Yesterday.
avs Will Conform to Those
of United States - One
Year Permits.

At yesterdays Cabinet session the
only matter fully discussed was that
relating to Chinese immigration. The
expected arrival of the Doric made
prompt action by the Cabinet neces-
sary, as there were a number Of ap-
plicants for labor waiting approval.
1t is the intention of the Govern
ment to abide by the terms of the
representatives. The Government
wishes to act in extreme good faith in
keeping within the lines of the treaty.
In view of this, it was decided that no
applications for Chinese Iaborers
should be approved, and that there
shall be no general immigrations, ex-
cept by Japanese.
In connection with the matter, there
are many perplexing questions arising
which require settling, and it is the
wish of the Government in disposing
of them to keep within the emigration
laws of the United States. One of the
provisions in the law is that return
permits, when issued, are for one year
only. This part of the law was made
active in Honolulu yesterday, and
those permits issued to returning Chi
nese by the Doric allows them to re-
turn here within one year. Hereafter
the United States laws will be fully
complied with in respect to immi-
grants. There are many Hawaiian
born Chinese now abroad, who should
be allowed to return, and there is no
doubt permission will be granted them.
The great question with the Cabinet is
regarding future applicants.
Minister Cooper is reading up the
United States laws regarding immi-
grafton to ascertain which classes it
affects. The Government is determined
to conform, in this matter, with the
laws of the United States.

mo TRANSVAAL FOR ENGLAND.

While at this Jubilee season the Eng
lish authorities are naturally DESTROYS
of avoiding anything like clash with
any other nation, it is safe to say that
the recent display of pro-Transvaal
sentiment at Berlin has made the Brit
ish lion growl, even though under his
breath.
A Transvaal exhibition was opened
in the German capital the other day
with a banquet and other festivities.
Among the the speakers was Professor
Kirchoff, of Halle, who said:
GAS formerly, the cry went through
out Germany the French shall not
have the Rhine so now the English
shall not have the Transvaal."
The promoters sent a cable dispatch
to President Kruger, extending greet
ings to him, and perhaps Emperor
William added a few compliments of
his own. He is quite ready to kiss his
grandmother's hand on occasion, but
he's a strong siding companion of Dom
Paul in Africa, for all that.-Boston

scription therein contained of the
Southern plantation darkey is good and

sively that the writer is acquainted

said in praise of the plantation darkey.

in the South-a crime which alone in
enormity surpasses the punishment
meted out to the offender by an out
ragged community.

in disgust, so that out of 20 dogs that
had started only nine had threaded
their way across the boys. These came
trailing along through the underbrush,
led by Carlo, brindle hound, owned by
an Orland man, who was highly elated
to know that his dog led the pack.
Instead of quickening his pace on
gaining hard ground, the coon con-
tinued at jog trot, so that Carlo soon
overlook him. The hunters coming up
the gully heard Carlo give sharp, ugly
bark, followed by wild, prolonged
Xxi vi" which told of Carlos defeat.
While Carlo was scooting through the
brush and telling his woes to two
counties, and Carlos owner was frantic
with chargin and grief because of his
dogs defeat, another hound tackled the
coon and confessed he was sorry for
1t in agonizing yellS. The other dogs
coming up soon after this, the coon
broke into q run, and, doubling on his
tracks, went down to Long pond stream
and swan down toward the milldam.
The keen-scented dogs, skirting the
shore, had no trouble in following the
coon until it reached the sawmill. The
water having been drained off for
winter enabled the dogs to go down
on the bank to the entrance to the
fiume. where they stood yelling until
the men arrived. The dogs saw the
coon bad gone into the upper end of the
fiume. AS the box was too small to
allow dog to go in, pole was cut and
pushed through the fume several
times. Finding the fume empty of
coons the men led the dogs about the
dam and min for an hour or more. hop,
ing to pick up the lost track. The dogs
worked faithfully, but gave no sign OF

PAIR OF CLEVER COONS.
How They Fooled a Party of Hunt
ers Down in Maine.
One Took Safe Refuge in q Ledge and
the Other Escaped Through a Mill
F1ume After Having Had
Lots OF Fun.

The Bucksport Coon club, of Dedhan,
Me-, held it's last hunt for the season in
the woods back of Blocks mountain,
and while the two coons which the dogs
started escaped from the hunters, and
all the sportsmen got wet and stayed
wet for hours, the members learned
several interesting facts about natural
history, and are better informed about
the ways of coons than they were before
they took their long tramp. The first
coon was freed in hollow hemlock
stub after half hours brisk chase by
the dogs. As the man who assembled the
tree with climbers found the coon was
lodged in a hollow near the top, the
services of an aXman were needed. No
sooner had the tree fallen than the coon
shot out of the top, like a cannon ball,
and went off to hide himself in the
crevices of ledge, where a ton of
powder could not dislodge him.
In tramping home three members of
the club passed through the orchard of
"Shab" Hawimson and found big coon
up in tree making his supper on

of shooting, the coon had leaped from
the tree to the ground and was of
across lots with six of the best dogs in
Hancock county in close pursuit. The
hunters were highly elated, knowing
that an old coon will not take to tree,
but will fight the dogs upon terra firma
until he or the dogs or both contending
parties are dead or disabled. 1t was a
slow, hard hunt from the start. The
coon, fully conscious of his own powers,
struck out through a wide swamp at
the head of Long pond, leaping from
logs to tree roots when he could, and
swimming cheerfully whenever he
could find nothing to stand upon. Att
