KLONDYKE.

!, 1t now appears that there i
not so much suffering i'll Klon
dyke as was at first reported
and the report of Abraham E
Smith, United States Consul a
| Victoria, which was made pub
| lie Dec. 2S, announces that all
the adviccs that reach there in
dicate that the rush in IS40 to
California, and, later, to South
Africa, will be eclipsed by the
rush of gold~seekers headed for
the Yukon Ill the early months
of 1898.
Consequently we may look
for suffering that will be hard to
eclipse next winter.
The crowd is coming not
only from this continent" says.
Consul Smith, "but from the
Old World and the antipodes.
The steamship Warrimoo, two
weeks ago, brought nearly a
hundred from Australia to this
port, on their way to the Edo
rado. Agents from England
have been here and are now here
making contracts for housing
three or four thousand gold
seekers, and every hotel in Vic
toria has contracts for all its
rooms for portions Of several |
months"
Snow covers Klondyke region
for the larger part of the year,
though in July and August it is
sometimes quite hot. In these
months the thermometer some
times shows IS or 90 degrees
A prominent citizen of Nanai>
mo. whom Mr.. Smith quotes
says that last year, though so
hot, the sun did not thaw the
ground, which is protected by
thick moss under the snow,
which neutral1zes the suns rays.
This moss is now cut off with
the shovel. The miner then
builds a fire, thaws out the
ground or 3 inches, AMI digs,
and SO Oh by relays. Every
loot of ground has to be thaWcd
out in this way. The ground is
frozen 35 feet, down to bed rock,
and it is impossible to dig or
work a pick therein"

MIRAGE IN A CITY.
Curious Natural Phenomenon
Seen Recently in Oregon.

A curious phenomenon was
presented in the northern heav-
ems shortly before 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, says the morning
Oregonian. Looking out Of the
window in the law offices of
Snow & McCamant there app
peared, looming skyward above
the Kamn building, an exact
reproduction Of the Worcester
block. The picture was COM
plete in every detail, giving a
wonderful presentation of the
building, suspended in mid air.
Above it were ranged a series OF
floating clouds, to the left Mt.
St. Helena could be p.a1nly
seen, while to the distant right
Mt. Hood, in all the glory Of it
winter rainent, stood out boldly
against the horizon.
There seemed to be some pes
culiar atmospheric conditions
prevailing, and the mirage, as it
seemed to be, held its place for
twenty minutes, to the aston
ishnent and delight Of those
who were privileged to gaze
upon t. Had there been but

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruff, c1eanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
lust as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

HOW IT FEELS TO FIGHT.
Professor" kid" Mccoy Recouuts
His Ring Experiences.

Mr. Mccoy said that a fight
er's eyes must be trained also
as well as his fists Quickness
to see and comprehend the mean
ing of movement by an adver
sary, often saves defeat and some
times wins victory. Glow does
a man feel after he has com
nenced a .lght, when blow after
blow falls upon him and he is
giving as many? He feels that
he must win. AS long as he
can keep that feeling he is not
defeated. He may be knocked
down. but cares not as long as
he is not knocked out. He may
be covered with bruises and may
totter to hi, feet aud the odd,
may be largely against him, but
If his resolution to endure all
and win remain with him he
still has fighting chance. The
first solid blow is a stinger, aud
in some ways the most danger.

COLORED REVIVAL MEETING
An Illinois Gentleman Describes
a Typical Scene at a Negro
Church in the South.

A gentleman from Illinois
gives a brief description OF :
coiored revival meeting that he
attended III the South. accompa
MED by some friends. He says
"The church was surrounded bv
a dense mass of black beings,
but a way is made for rs through
the crowded street sidewalk and
yestibule to our seats. We wait
ed until 7:45; the sermon by
Rev. Spruill was over, the song
OF invitation had been sung, a
few straglers had asked for
prayers. Two brethren prayed,
a verse was sung, brother en-
horted a few minutes until his
voice began to take OH that sing
song tone, he clapped his hands
and began to sing. If religion
was to buy, the rich would live,
the poor would die Every
man arose, the bugle notes had
sounded the call, the battle was
on, the conflict was fierce. Their
bodies swayed back and forth,
while voices rose higher and
higher. Suddenly a brother
gives a shout, begins to pat ju
per, shouting. talking aud sing
ing. a sister steps forward and
begins to chant and dance. The
column forms down one aisle up
another, they halt before some
Well-knoWn sinner, the groans,
the exhortations, the lamenta>
tions, the shrieks Down goes
a convert ); he IS picked up,
carried into the body Of the
church. This is repeated until
"a are placed together. Then
the shouts Of exultation, the |
cries to Heaven for mercy, you
can almost see Abraham offering
his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Sud
denly the pastor steps forward |
and lines a hymn, while all sing.
Louder he lines and louder they
all sing, until you think Babel
has broken loose. A seeker
leaps into the air, falls prone OH
the floor. The shouts of victory
arise, the cries for mercy increase.
You look upon a sea Of black
faces turned to the ceiling, rolls
ing their eyes until they look
like eggs. They shout, sing,
pray, stamp, pat and dance
the entire congregation standing
swaylng back and forth.
Suddenly a sister rises above
the heads of all ard comes
down, looking like parachute,
into the arena. The shouts of
victory increase, the cries for
mercy are more intense. Some
seeking brother begins to pray,
the people again begin to move
up one aisle and down another,
shouting, singing, praying and
groaning. The women crone, a
brother cries out, jump on board
The train ) the shouts increase, a
sister calmly arises, walks around
and begins to shake hands. She

oilee begins.
We bow our heads and pass
out into the open air. The
black does not rub off, but you

1t may be difficult to govern
him, but be patient. He may

may surprise you some day,

his body grows larger and
stronger his mental and moral

Educate your boy. You may
think money spent in that way
is money spent in vain. There

If you cannot educate him,

lhe victory at Manila. although TAX
ing place after the signing of the pro-
tocol, places the occupation of the
philippines in an entirely different
light. When the protocol was signed
1t was supposed that the islands would
be under Spanish control when the
peace commission met. Before word
could reach our troops however, Manila
Was surrendered by the Spanish and as
Dewey sent out expeditions at once to
the other islands it appears that the
philippines are now the property of the
United States by right of conquest.
we cannot restore Spanish control
unless we voluntarily give the islands
back to them. The possession of the
islands is not therefore proper sub
Ject for consideration by the peace COM
mission as it is already our property.
The subject of what shall be done with
the Philippines is now more complex
than ever. To endeayor to replace
Spanish authority would cause an out
break of the natives and in Spain's
weakened condition it is doubtful if
she could maintain a peaceful govern
ment without the aid Of the United
States. Either state of anarchy would
ensue or the United States would be
forced into the unenviable position
OF compelling the natives by force of
arms to submit to Spanish rule.
The question is fraught with diff
culties and is one which should receive
the earnest thought of every American.
In order to stimulate the expression of
the thought OF our people the REVIEW
invites its readers to make use of its
