Let us briefly summarize the result of this
description and guide book which Miss Grad
dock has written as fully as may be from her
momentary glimpses, restraining our review
almost entirely to literal quotation. In the
first place. generally speaking, Heaven is a
city enclosed within garden" Paradise" is
plainly another name for il. The streets are
laid and the buildings are built of pure gold
beaten out thin SO as to be transparent. The
city rises in terraces, the walls whereof pro-
sent splendid show of at least twelve dis
tinct colorings, that of the foundation being
of dark green stone pierced 10y number Of
gates, each made of single pearl. Through
the midst of one of the streets flows n crystal
river. There is probably neither church
nor q temple among the buildings, mansions
constituting conspicuous and numerous part
of the architecture. ITO suppose that these
mansions have all been disposed Of" says the
writer, lin the nineteen centuries which have
elapsed since the days OF Jesus of Nazareth,
suggests faulty management In the munich
pality of Heaven that would put an earthly
municipality to the blush" 4" Even so, and she
points to the handling of the crowds that
focied to the Worlds Fair ss an example of
the ease with which erring human beings can
take care of an apparently Overwhelming
crowd-aud are angels to be credited with les
ser skill?
The Heavenly vegetation is luxuriant and
various. The tree Of life, to be sure, is noted
for its twelve annual crops of fruit, and to
satisfy the needs of the myriads Of beings the
tree evidently must be whole orchard at
least. There is Scriptural justification, ac-
cord.ug to the writer. for expecting TO find
grape vines and grapes in the garden sur
rounding the holy city Because the white
robed throng about the throne bear palms
there must be palm trees, since we cannot
imagine that the angelic beings do not have
at command an ample supply OF fresh palm
leaves. As the writer points out, nothing
could be more depressing than TO picture the
throngs bearing faded out palms perhaps
withered to the color OF palm-leaf fans. To
provide the white robes OF linen the fax plant
must grow lvxuriantly.

Two matters with respect to this years
Sedan day are of interest and significance.
The dtmnution of fervor in the celebra-
ton of the day in Germany was especially
noticeable. The Kaiser's assiduous adver-
tisement Of the superlatve Importance Of
his family in the achievement of German
greatness has apparently had an effect upon
the nation quite opposite 10 that which
intended 1t seems that the Ger
man people have realized that they have
had national heroes besides the members
of the house of Hohenzollern and that there
have been memorable events in the history
of Germany other than those with which
the Kaiser has so persistently associated
body else. Too much insistance upon a
single theme by the Kaiser has evidently
stalled the German appetite for military
glory.
But this lukewarmness towards the Kali
ser is not the only Sedan-day straw which
shows the way the wind blows. Germany $
decision to take nc official notice OF
Premier Meline's message sent to the
Alsace- Lorraine Society and expressing u
hope of reunion of the lost provinces with
the French Republic, emphasizes rather
than diminishes the significance of the
French prime minister's action. Germany
would not. without grave reason. permit
the prime minister of France without re-
age an association whose aspirations. from
the German view point. are reasonable and
seditious. Is it possible that the chancel-
lerie at Berlin knows that the hopes raised
by the Russian alliance in France are JUS
tilted. and that a policy in favor of the
restitution of the conquered provinces
would be supported by Russia?

Hundreds of Men Blasting Rock and

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 5.-The following
letter from ]. NJ Haggerty has been re-
ceived from Skaguay. Alaska, dated Aug.
2S: sylvester Scovel, New York corre-
spondeiit landed yesterday morning at
Skaguay by a specially chartered tug from
Juneau with two tons of blasting powder
and the necessary tools to equip seven
complete crews for rock work on the Ska
quay trail, and as fast as horses and men
could get away crews were started to the
front In the evening there was a meeting
at the foot of the first hill, attended by
over 500 miners who organized for the
work in front of them and elected an ex-
ecutive committee, consisting of James
Christie, of Portland, president; Philip
Adams, secretary; c. A. Cramer, of Seat
tie; Mr.. Heacock and Mr.. Day as super
intendents, who selected experienced men
for the work on the rock hills and veteran
loggers for the work of corduroying the
muddy places. There were thirty Cana
dian mounted police also on the trail. They
have pitched in with good will and say
building of this trail will now enable them

time to build and provision the mail
stations in their territory, so that they can
operate dog teams all winter, and they
agree TO deliver the mail every two weeks
from the Klondike 70 the American line
Work is in progress for fifteen miles along
the trail and all travel and packing has
been suspended until IL Is completed.
''There have been some kickerS as usual
but they are much in the minority that
they had to submit. While believe this
trail will be complete in ten days so that
travel can be resumed, don't start for this
point expecting to get over for at least
thirty days, as it wilt take that long after
the trail is completed to get all the miners
over who are now there Not nearly so
many discouraged prospectors are selling
their outfits for a song as has been. re-
ported but a good many who started for
the Klondike have given up that idea,
have turned TOWNSHIP buyers and are
erecting all kinds of buildings and estab-
fishing themselves for the winter as best
they can. one week ago lumber could be
got for $27 per thousand. Now it is $50
and none for sale at even that figure. Rub
Der boots, heavy shoes and oil clothing
are in demand and fetch big prices Hard
ware of all kinds sells well. The Alaska

No one has yet been able to make a
soap bubble that will not burst, but by
care we can make one that lasts for some
time. Its length of life will depend largely
upon the mixture used in blowing 1t, and
the care we take in protecting it from
drafts. Perhaps some of you do not know
how to make good soap bubble mixture
so l will give you directions for preparing
one.
Put into a pint bottle two ounces of best
white CASTLE soap, cut into thin shavngs.
and fill the bottle with cold water which
has been first boiled and then left to cool.
Shake well together. and allow the bottle
to stand until the upper part of the solu-
ton is clear. Decant now of this clear So
luton two parts and add one part of gly-
GERM and you will have a soap-bubble
mixture very much like one suggested by
Prof. p. j. Cook, of Harvard College.
Some of you may wonder why bubbles
cannot be blown from water alone. 1t is be-
cause the particles do not posses sufficient
attraction for one another to form film.
Mysteriously. the soap increases this at
traction, even If the quantity be as small
as one-hundredth part OF the solution. We
add the glycerin TO make the film more
gorgeous by bringing about greater play
of colors. Bear in mind that a carefully
prepared mixture will save you much dis
appointment.
The solution now being at hand we use
Always use new one, for one in which to-
bacco has been smoked is poisoned With
little practice. and a moderate amount OF
patience, bubbles measuring eight or ten
inches in diameter may be produced, and
even larger ones If the lungs be refilled.
The pipe of course, should be held steadily,
and the breath forced into the bubble
evenly. In order to watch a bubble care

Space in the Capitol.
Washington Letter.


Most visitors ask the question, what is
going to become of the space in the Capitol
hitherto occupied by the library? Three
projects have been preached. and Congress
at the coming session will probably act on
one of them. The first suggestion, which
is understood to be favored by the speaker
of the House of Representatives is to turn
the whole Of the old library quarters into
restaurant This would permit the now
separate restaurants of Senate and House
to be combined give the new concern a
pleasanter outlook from the windows, and
much more air and light at all seasons and
enable the quarters now used by the two
restaurants down stairs to be turned into
committee rooms for the two houses re-
spectively. 1t would have merit in the
saving of much space now wasted whether
it had any other or, not. The second plan
is to turn the two wings of the old library
into committee rooms, and use the main
room in the center for a common reading
and writing room. A third plan of which
Mr.. SpOffOrd the veteran librarian, is said
to be the protector, is to use the central
room as a room for members of both houses
to consult standard works of reference when
they do not care to go all the way to the
new library building for that purpose, and
to write their speeches and reports in
quiet atmosphere. the two wings to be de-
voted to the storage of the manuscript ar
chives of Congress-the north wing for
those of the Senate and the south wing for
those of the HouSe-theSe to be thoroughly
arranged and indexed so as to be capable of
instant reference. Mr.. French, the efficient
journal clerk of the House, has already
done much to preserve and put in order
the manuscripts in his care and with the
aid of a like friendly hand on the Senate
side much matter might become available
to the historian which is now of no more
use to him than If it were buried in the
DEPTHS of the sea.

Movements of Rritash Trnons.

PESHAWAR, Sept. 5-No fighting of inn
portance has yet occurred between the gov
eminent forces and the tribesmen who have
taken part in the uprising. The enemy is
concentrating at various points and it is
estimated that 1900 rebels are now on
the SANTANA range, but they appear loath
to attack the government troops. 1t is re-
ported that the followers of Haddah Null
lah in the Shabkadr district are deserving
him and the Afridis are returning to Khy-
Der pass The British troops are massing
along the disturbed line and several col
umns have been sent out in different d.
rections.
A slight skirmish has occurred near Han
gu, from which point a small column was
dispatched and secured the districts or
Atagmir, Nawimela and Turf. They found
the enemy's posts deserted. There was some
firing, but the enemy refused to be en-
gagged at close quarters.
The Subador commanding the Mullagori
levies and forty of his company, which
formed a part of the garrison at Fort Lun-
di-Kotal, arrived at Jamrud on Friday
and were given an enthusiastic reception,
the entire garrison turning out and cheering
as they entered the town. The Mullagoris
cut their way through the enemy after the
capture Oh Il OTl 1uICl-hOldl anu IudIC itU
to their own country where they buried
their dead and treasured their friends. They
then proceeded for Jamrud, which they
reached in safety with their arms.
Curious stories are afioat about the fanat-
ical methods which are employed to drive
the tribes to revolt. The so-called Mad
Mullah has been the chief meter of the
rebellion. This is a sample: Some days be-
fore the attack of Malakand the Mad Null
lah, who was at Brana, the principal town
in lower Swat, put one of the chiefs in q
trance and asked the man what he saw. He
replied II see the hills around crowded
with true believers and the hosts of heaven
are with them. Down below are the sahibs
Some are dead the ground and others
are being followed and slain by Mahomet's
followers. In the distance the Topkhana are
coming but soon they are flying and the
whole of the infidels are killed dying"
The Mad Mullah is a mesmerist of no mean
order, and the tribeSmen have followed the
mullah as a prophet. He does not doubt the
efficiency of pink rice, which he gave his
followers to insure invulnerability. A wound
which he received in the hand he got by

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 5.--Many of
the pulpits of the Protestant churches were
occupied to-day by delegates to the Indiana
Conference of the A. M. e. Church. Bishop
Arnett was at the colored church, where
there was great outpouring of the colored
population, hundreds being unable to gain
admission to the church. 1t is announced
that Prof. B. w. Arnett, jr., son of the
bishop has been transferred to the Indiana
Conference. Mrs Lucy Thurman, who is
national superintendent of the work among
the negroes of the w. c. I. T., addressed
the conference, and said among other
things that she was opposed to ot1icers of
the church using liquor. The following
elders were ordained to-day: w. II. Tay-
lor. B. W: Arnett, jr, J. H: Hardiman, Will
liam Kelly and L. E. Christy. Thomas
White was ordained deacon. At the meet
ing of the Women's Missionary Society it
reported that $204 had been collected
during the, year. The, several presiding
elders of the State made their reports last
night, showing that their districts were

Although we have faithfully endeavored
to study out the glorious plans of John
Brisben Walkers new university We must
confess our entire inability to put 1t on a
practical basis. We are told to-day That
DIR. Andrews has accepted the presidency,
and Mr.. Walker mysteriously assures US
that 1.-The headquarters of the university
will be wherever DR.. Andrews may be. =
This is interesting but puZzling. Are we to
infer that DR.. Andrews is going to carry
the university about with him? Is he to be
a second Socrates and are the students to
trail after him whether he discourses in the
agora or spends a social evening at the
hOSpitable mansion of Mrs. Aspasia? OF
course such university would be a novelty
in our generation and we can picture With
delight the students of the new university
sitting in a drawing room car on the Old
Colony Railroad listening to DIR. Andrews
as he unveils the sacred mysteries of is to
] and lectures on the Immortality of the
soul in conjunction with the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. We fancy that
under the new system tuition will be cheap.
but mileage will be somewhat expensive,
for when a man is carrying a university
around in his clothing it will tax the re-
sources of the seekers after truth to keep
up with the change of base. We have the
greatest confidence, however, in Mr. Walk
er's philanthropy and business wisdom, and
we presume that he will request DR.. An
dreWs to settle down and not carry the
university off to New York or Boston any
oftener than is absolutely necessary. We
await further particulars with interest.

ST. Louis Republic.
The population of Argentina has shown
a rapid decline from year to year. In order
TO check the decrease the government has
been considering all sorts of propositions
Finally a law was passed which is both
unique and forceful. This law has been in
operation since jan l, and under its provi-
sions offenders are severely punished:
Young men and women are not permitted
to refuse an offer of marriage, and, as
women may propose in Argentina as we'll
as men, the latter have as little excuse for
not marrying as the fair sex. The special
clause of the marriage paragraph reads. as
follows:
People of manageable age of either sex
who refuse an offer to wed without reasons
which are considered valid in law shall not
be permitted to marry thereafter without
the permission of the government They
shall moreover pay an indemnity sum of
not more than $500 to the person whose offer
they have refused"
Up to the twentieth year men and women
are allowed to dispose of themselves; after
that. if they have not chosen a state Of
celbacy, they come under the provisions OF
the new law and remain so up to their
twenty-eighth year. Men who are not mar
ried when they are twenty are required to
pay a heavy tax, and this tax does not
abate until the day of their marriage. 1t
does seem as If a handsome living could be
made in the republic of Argentina out Of
judicious proposing on the part of young
men and women who are shreWd enough to
pick out the proper parties.
