The Gateway of the Orient.

It was, l believe, Fromentin, the
eminent French scholar and art
critic, who remarked that the sud
den view of the orient through the
gateway of El-Kantara presented the
most contrasting picture of life and
nature that was to be found any
where on the surface of the earth.
How nearly true this statement may
be it is hardly possible to determine,
but it is certain that it would be diff
ficult to find elsewhere on the globe
a more striking closing of one world
and opening of another. Through
El-Kantara passes the solemn tread
of the camel trains, whose destina-
ton is the silent Sahara and the
deeper Sudan. In it are offered up
the fervent Moslem prayers for a
safe journey and return. The giant
buttresSes of the Atlas mountains,
red and purple with the glow of the
morning and twilight sun, look
down upon a tempestuous mountain
torrent which has cut its way
athwart their core, and grim and
crag eaten rocks, buried deep within
theft own bowler masses, wall off
with heights of 5000 to 5000 feet
the gray and yellow panorama of
shifting sands-the warm heart of
the southern Sahara.

Derivation of the Word Klondike.


THE River Trip to the Klondike'
is the title of an article by John Sid
ney Webb in The Century. Mr.. Webb
says:
From Dawson City the trail to the
mines leads over steep hill to the
creek made SO famous by its tribu-
taries, for there is not a single mine
on the principal stream, which in
the miners slang is called Klondike,
and yet this stream does in reality
bear a characteristic name given it
by the Indians, which is utterly
murdered by this pronunciation,
now SO common.
The Indians name the creeks
throughout the country from some
characteristic in connection with the
stream itself, and as this one ia so
swift that in order to set their salm-
on traps or nets they were obliged
to use hammer to drive the stakes
to anchor them the creek was named
by them Hammer creek, or, In their
language, Theoretically, Troan Dix
The spelling Klondike means abso-
lutely nothing, but has been accept
ed, so learn, by the board of geo.
graphical names of the United
States.

To be an editor is pleasant position
to occupy-for you know an editor
knows all things, sees all things, is all
wise and omnipresent. He has friends

thing, has his faults covered with Il
mantle broader than charity (?), is
smiled on by those who desire a write
up and if you chance to overlook the
fact that Miss So-and-So has visited
the city or the country your hide will

HOW WILD ANIMALS DIE.

Hunger Gees Them Even if They Esca,.e
the Hunters Gun.
What becomes of all the dead
birds and animalsi
Some of them, FASTENED in their
exits by villainous saltpeter, go into
cooking pots or yield up their blood
dabbled feathers for woman S adorn-
ment. But how about those who
die natural deaths
1t is the rarest thing to find the
bodies of wild animals, except such
as have plainly died in conflict or
by accident. AT salt hicks the ground
is often covered with the bones of
animals who have been killed in
fights with each other.
In tropical countries the bodies of
dead animals rapidly decay, and
their smaller bones are devoured
by greedy beasts of the pig and
hyena types. But the same scarcity
of animal remains is noted in the
arctic regions, where decay is al
most unknown. Here big beasts
hike the Siberian mammoth have
been "coad storaged" for many Gen.
turtles and actually eaten at the Last.
But each succeeding spring does,
as might be expected, disclose the
skeletons of birds or animals who
have died during the year and been
buried by the snow. Yet birds
swarm by the millions in summer
ON the arctic tundra, and seals, rein
deer, foxes. walruses and other land
and water animals are there. Nor
denskjoh notes this strange absence
of self dead" polar animals. Not
one did he see, though there were
plenty of traces of mans wanton
waste of life in creatures dead OF
gunshot wounds. 1.-The polar bear
and the reindeer" he writes, "are
found in hundreds, the seal, walrus
and white whale in thousands and
birds in millions These birds must
die natural death in untold nun
bers. What becomes of their bod
iesf"
It Is strange that on Spitzbergen
it is easier to find the vertebra of a
gigantic lizard of the trias than the
bones of seal, walrus or bird which
has met a natural death.
1t is probable that animals most
universally hide themselves when
they feel the pangs of approaching
death. Their chief foe is hunger
coupled with old age Distempel
kills foxes and wolves as well as do
nestle dogs and cats. Chills and
heart disease count animal as vel
as human victims. Old animals die
of indigestion, especially when theil
teeth become too poor to permit o.
chewing their food.
Tumors, diphtheria and consump
ton are frequent animal complaints
and anthrax, influenza, CHAMBERS ant
cholera claim their share. Rabies
comes IN epidemics among wild ami
mails as well as tame ones. 1t wai
50 common among foxes in 1880 tc
1888 in France and Switzerland that
fox hunts were organized for the
protection of domestic animals.
All this, however, doesn't explain
what becomes of the dead animals.
Perhaps that will cease to be mys.

pins and shoe buttons go.-New

The catastrophe was the most horrible
ever occurring In Victor, with the sin
gle exception of the Anna Lee mine
disaster Of some two years ago.
The firing of the Jail was the frcn-

But the maiden was as bashful ~ her
beauty was divine.
So now he sought to WOO her with =
dainty valentine.
Before him on the table lay rose Of
velvet red.
A fllet wrought of silver just to at her
curly head.
A string Of coral. rosy like her glow

And frosted sugar plums to melt like
kisses on her lips.
And yet he could not make choice,

Behind his gilded culver hid smile
that held a sneer;
Go WRITE" he said, "a pretty note, aud
ask her to be thine.
And seal 1t with kiss to send by old

The hover took a scented sheet, in hue
of palest pink.
And on 1t with slender quill he wrote
in blackest ink:
Dear Eveleen!-sweet Eveleen! thy
name is my delight.
It maketh music in my heart from

Oh, come to me. fair Eveleen. and be

Across the purple eventide, and over
hill and dale
The moon, a silver crescent, flung her
glory like veil.
And still he sat a-dreaming of the lips
he longed to kiss.
When inward swung the oaken door
what vision fair was this?
A slight and graceful figure all in ruby
velvet dressed.
With a tear upon her lashes. and lily
on her breast.
He felt her arms about him in their
snowy whiteness twine;
