One hundred thousand men will
probably go to the Klondike this sea-
son. Five hundred dollars will be q
low estimate for the cost to each indi-
vidual, making an aggregate of $780,
900, 900 expended. We shall see how
long it will take Alaska to turn out
that much gold. There is, however,
one consolation: Should the mines
prove failure, the money invested
will not be lost to the world, it will
still exist, but in the hands of differ
ent individuals. The sad, sad part of
the story will be as to the innumerable
lives that will be laid down in the in
hospitable regions of the North.

Cool Under an Enemy's Fire.

A very young officer, who had gone
almost straight from school to the
army and thence to India, was lead
ing his company through q rocky
pass, on returning from scouting
expedition. They were beset by the
enemy, who fired at them from be-
hind the rocks, and the men were
growing very unsteady. Those in the
rear began to be impatient, and
shouted to the men in front, "Hurry
upl What are you waiting for there?''
The young officer answered quite
coolly: ''Hold on minute! I'm
lighting my pipe"
And he struck match and lit it,.
There was roar of laughter, and a
soldier called out, "Well, since you're
so pressin', think I'll have a pipe
myself" :" And he, too, struck a match
and began to smoke. This bit of fun
steadied the men, and they came
through in good order. Rudy

Pilcncrs In Plants.

Professor S. H. Vines gives usefm
resume of the present state of our
knowledge OF the structure and func-
ton of pitchers in plants. In the
great majority of cases these struc-
lures are traps for insects; while eth
ers have apparently no such function.
Among insect traps, the greater num-
ber appear to be incapable of digest
ing the insects which they capture,
absorbing only the products of dc.
composition caused by micro-orgar
isms; these therefore are not correctly
termed carnivorous plants. The
pitcher Of the various species of Ne.
penthes, and possibly also that OF
Cephalotus undoubtedly secretes a
digestive enzymo. When pitchers are
not insect traps, they have some fupc-
ton in connection with the supply of
water Co the plant; either relieving it
OF an excess of water which it may
have absorbed, or storing it up for
future use.

The African Lion and the Buffalo Bull.

The large horns of these buffalo are
significant of their immense strength;
their legs are very short and powerful.
Though the lions make prey of them,
it takes two or three to pull down a
bull. The African lion of this section
is the largest species of its kind, but
unless in packs will not attack an
African buffalo bull. When fighting,
the bulls are very quick on their feet,
and they use not only their horns,
but their front feet also, which often
prove the more dangerous weapon.
My guide, who has lived in this coun-
try for the past ten years, relates
many stories of men who have been
mauled by lions, and who have escaped
death, but he knows of no instance
where the African buffalo has left q
human being until the life was, ,,trampled
out Of him. .--Harper's Magazine.

JAPANESE CHIVALRY.

After the capture of the Chinese
feet at Wai-hai-wai, during the late
Chinese-Japanese war, the Chinese Ad-
miral Ting, after surrendering, com
mitted suicide on his battIeship, rather
than face trial and death at home
Admiral Ito, who had received his sur
render, was an old friend of his, and
desired to give him the honor of mill
tary burial at his home in China.
He resorted to this extraordinary and
chivalrOus method of doing it.
The Chinese war ships that had
surrendered and were in possession of
the Japanese forces, had become the
property of the Japanese Government,
and Admiral Ito could not dispose of
them. But the warship on which Adj
miral Ting had killed himself had not
been taken possession of. Admiral Ito
thereupon said to the Chinese officers:
Il do not accept the surrender Of
your vessel. Take her, and go to China
with the body of your Admiral, and
give him all the naval hOnOrs."
This is in it's noble sympathy, and
the enormous sacrifice of a valuable
war ship, perhaps the most chival-
rous incident recorded in authentic
history.

In the hystericaI patriotism of the
crowd injustice is done, and much dis
tress is inflicted upon women and
children. We hear of young men, in
the troops which passed through this
place recently, that have left their
families practically destitute. During
the great war in America such cases
were common and fragrant. After the
hysterical period passed off, volunteer
ing stopped, to a large extent, and the
armies were recruited by CONSUMPTION,
which treated all alike.
In war for the sake of humanity,
or suffering should not be
an incident on the side of its defend
ers. War is sayagery. Its miseries must
be strictly bounded. Those who should
go to the front are those who can be
spared, with the least suffering.

two years of the American Civil War

THE PACIFIC


The British papers continue to com
ment on Mr. Chamberlain's speech, in
which he openly, and emphaticalIy
suggested an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States. His
suggestion is cordially approved Of
with the exception of some Of the more
conservative journals. These suggest
that there have already been some
epidemics Of good viii between the
two countries, followed by equally Sc
we're epidemics Of bad temper.
The proposed alliance must have a
sound business basis or it can not last.
No mere sentiment will sustain it.
AS a rule, the Anglo-Saxons and the
Latins do not make successful business
partnerships. The racial traits pre-
vent it. Even the Anglo-Saxons do not
work well in harness with the Ger
mans or the Russians. Temperament
and habit tend to separate them. Poll
tical institutions and thought prevent
them from becoming congenial COM
panions.
Between the British and Americans
there is a strong similarity in racial
instincts, in their political institutions,
in the construction of their laws aDd
the administration of them. Their
business and industrial methods are
also alike, and a common language
brings them Closely together The
separation Of the countries by an
tho I'm frrf,r,oro I2p,rDI,,t;Cr,
have kept them apart Chauncey De-
pew said last year, that if there was
war between Great Britain and the
United States, it would be largely due
to the histories furnished the American
school children that perpeUuate1 tie
original grievances of the Americans
and even misrepresented facts. But
the new histories are less frantic now,
and the Jingoes of the two nations
don't make such dreadful faces at
each other
The British understand the value of
foreign trade, and have built up an
enormous shipping. The Americans
have permitted their commercial flag
to be virtually driven from
the seas. The British desire
to hold their enormous foreign trade
as against the continental nations, and
they need strong and healthy part
ner. The Americans begin to see the |
absolute need of foreign trade, and |
that it may be secured through a |
partnership with the only nation that |
has points in common with them.
There is no sentiment in the propos-
ed union. 1t is a matter Of self inter
est in which racial resemblances and
ideas on political government
make the union easy. 1t is give and
take ON both sides. And it is es-
pecially convenient in the state of
present Christian civilization where
the merchant marine must trade under
cover of the guns of the cruisers.
In the period of the early part of the
century, the merchantmen
were conveyed by ships of war. At
the end of the nineteenth century, the
world seems to be no better off.
If Great Britain will throw into the
dicker with America, her great fleet,
and a share in her foreign trade, and
America promises to throw in her COM
ing navy, and her growing strength,
