The tail of the fish is his scullinc
oar. He moves it first on one side
and then the other, using his fins as
balances to guide his motion. If the
fish is moving fast, and wants to stop,
he strengthens out his fins just as the
rover of boat does his oars.

OZONE, on account of its powerful
oxidizing action on organic matter,
may play a considerable part in puri-
flying the air. 1t may not be generally
known, the London Lancet points out,
that a very simple and effectual way
of bringing ozone into the house con-
sists in first suspending moist linen
sheets in a keen, dry wind, and after
ward hanging them up in the house.
The air in the room will thus become
considerably charged with ozone, and
its presence will be easily detected by
its peculiar smell, while a moistened
starch iodide paper will instantly turn
blue. Why ozone Is accumulated in
wet clothes in this way is not quite
understood, but it may be due to the
rapid passage of the oxygen in the air
over a large wet surface. 1t is not
improbable that this interesting phe-
nomenon has much to do with the
cleansing OF our linen articles of cloth
ing. The smell of ozone in big
laundries on bringing not quite dry
linen in from cold dry air is almost
more than is agreeable.

Women And the Birds.

As there is no argument on the
side of bird killing for decorative pur-
poses, SO there is no excuse for its en-
enlargement by even the most frivolous
of women" The st. Paul Pioneer I es'

we'll as its reckless abuse OF the gifts
of nature, for it is asserted on good
authority that the destruction of field

effect on agriculture. Yet the killing

ton. Europe uses 30O,O0O,OO0 song

of cruelty andthe thing is done. 1t
does not even require strong-minded-
ness to do this. One would think
that n mere spark of humanity in the
heart would be the only requisite.
Women, young or old, rich or poor,
who think themselves anxious to help
along the cause of humanity can do it
no more easily or effectively than in
this way. 1t is agracious mission and
one in which the only sacrifice in

WAR TAXATION-AGAIN.

The work OF preparing to put the army
and navy on a war footing, and prepara-
tons for paying. or having paid. the bills
war would entail, go hand in hand. In
yesterdays issue of the Dispatch was a
Washington telegram giving some of the
articles ii had been practically agreed to
increase taxation upon in case Of war,
and also a number Of new subjects that
It had been decided 10 add to the list
The telegram stated that bill providing
for temporary loan OF 5000 0,0c0 and
a permanent loan of from S3O0.OoOO00 to
$500, 900 600 at 3 per cent. payable in coin.
had been prepared by the House Ways
and Means Committee and would be i'm
mediateiy introduced should war break
out.
A fuller telegram on this subject also
says an increase of from cents to 3
cents on letter postage, and a tax on gas
and electric light has also been suggested,
but these items have not yet been con-
sidered. The increase of ! cent an ounce
on letter postage probably would augment
the receipts by 10000 900 a year.
but it is well to keep such figures as
these before the public, especially as they
may be but mere suggestion of the
burden Of taxation war with Spain might
involve. The lowest estimate of the cost
Of war Is 500. ,0OO and that estimate
is based on the stpposition that the con-
fiict would be sharp, short, ana de-
ctsive." But. as we showed the other day,
it might be possible for Spain TO adopt
guerilla tactics at sea that would spin
hostfiitiss out for a long time.
We also showed in a recent article that
the civil war has already cost this coun-
try over ST. coo, and promises to cost
it some 5000, go 600 more before the ac-
count is settled; so granting that the
price of a clash of arms with Spain would
be only $50O,0OOCOO, the conclusion of
peace would leave us with war obliga-
tons, present and prospective, of $780,
OO0, OCO plus $5,COO,OOOOOO.
The truth is, however, that after all,
this $500 100000 estimate Is something en-
tirely arbitrary. We hazard nothing in
predicting that should war come, these
figures, and the articles named for in
crease of taxation, and, as probable new
subjects, would prove only starting points.
Yes, figures are dry, but sometimes they
open the eyes of the people and cause
them to think when nothing else will

THE SITUATION.

that whatever congressional action may
DO taken upon 1t will constitute an uiti-

cede to our demands respecting Cuba OF

has developed I'm Madrid that indicates
any purpose on the part OF Spain to pur-
sue the former course. Indeed. on the
surface It would appear that she Is firmly
determined to cast the die for war.
II is not expected however, that the
ultimatum or resolution OF Congress. on
which 90 much will hang. will be forth

the message. If 1t has not been fruitful
Of anything else has rendered 1t prob
able that the document instead Of being
acted upon preclpitatey and practically
without any consideration at all. will
take the regular course of being referred
to committees. thus giving this country
another breathing spell until Tuesday at
the least, and Spain a final opportunity
10 realize the wisdom OF reconsidering.

som proclaim Natures truce with winter.
The earth rejoices and puts on new
drapery. of cut and texture old as the
hills. vet new as the latest fashion-plate.
Everything IS fresh. fragrant, beautiful,
and appropriate.
And soon the church bells will be peal
ing; soon the houses of God Will be
th.onged with worshippers. There will be
psalms of THANKSGIVING there will be
paeans of joy. there will be anthems Of
praise. Tho PREACHERS will tell OF the
sacrifices, suGerngs. and resurrection Of
the Lord of Lords. The prayers will be
for all races and conditions Of men, and
will give thanks unto the Almighty for
the gift of His Son; for His life of self
sacrifice; for His triumphant death and
glorious resurrection. Song and sermon
prayer and petition will breathe of Death
conquered. of peace on earth and a
happy existence beyond the grave pro-
missed 10 all who love the Lord and keep
His commandments.
But whilst these worshippers are breath
Ing the incense OF tne affairs ana
kneeling in supplication. the forces of two
great nations are breaking the stiffness
Of this blessed day by preparations for
war. The two countries are preparing
to take one another by the throat; they
are arming for battles afloat and ashore;
they are ransacking the markets of the
world for the most murderous weapons
OF offence and defence. and wait but for
the signal to let loose all of their de-
structiye energies.
Alas, that II should be So
When war is begun-if it must be be-
gun-may all OF our people. all the world,
indeed, understand that nothing else was
left US to do. But on this day of hallowed
memories, on this day when we should be
basking in the sunshine OF happiness.
when gloom should be behind US and not
confronting us. what can we do but
throw ourselves upon the guidance and
mercy OF the Risen Lord?

THE NILE EXPEDITIONS.

The occupation Of Shendy about week
ago by the Anglo-Egyptian army mas
been quickly followed by that armys
achieving a signal victory over the Der
wishes at a point eighteen miles north OF
the junction of the Nile and the Atbara
rivers. General Kitchener's forces as
saulted the fortified camp Of Mahmud, the
Dervish commander, drove the Dervishes
out. and. pursuing them with cavalry and
artillery, killed and captured a great num-
Der of them. Mahmud himself Is report
ed as among the prisoners. Indeed, the
battle is said to have been so decisive as
TO amount to annihilation Of the Khali-
fa's first line Of defence.
II now seems to be taken for granted
that General Kitchener will delay no fur
Their moving on Khartoum and Omdur-
man. the Khalifa's capital, which towns
were. when the expedition was under
taken last fall, named as its objective
points. from which the work Of ''pacify-
ing the Soudan" would be carried on. Nor
is il expected that this movement will en-
counter any very serious opposition. In
every brush General Kitcheners army
has had with the followers Of the Kha-
lifa. the latter have shown that they do
not fight with their old-time fanaticism-
with the fanaticism that enabled them to
wipe out the Hicks Pasha expedition, and
with which Wolseley had to contend in his
heroic, but vain, effort 10 rescue Gordon.
Moreover, after every fight there have
been many deserters 10 the army Of oc-
cupation from the ranks Of the Dervishes.
These have reported a terrible condition
Of beggary, tyranny, and Generalization
in the Soudan. and claim 10 have
espoused the Khalifa's cause under COM
pulsion. Therefore, considering the num-
Der Of men at General Kitchener's COM
mand and the splendid equipment of the
expedition, the reconquest of the Sou
dan-the object of the expedition as origi-
naIly announced-may be looked upon as
practically accomplished.
However, as we have frequently said,
no one who has studied British policy on
the Dark Continent or appreciates Bri-
fish ambition in respect of Africa
imagines that the present Anglo Egyptian
army will stop at Khartoum and Omdur-
men, and that its mission will be con-
find to quoting the Soudan and reopen
ing that territory to trade. No one need
be surprised to hear in a week or so that
it has a new objective point, and that
that objective point is the 'wasp-waist"
connecting the spheres of British infu-
ence in Northern and Southern Africa,
and which recently has been threatened
with French embrace.

THE CLAY PIPE.

The Dispatch's recent account OF the
ptpe-makng-not ''pipo-laying"-ind
Of Appomattox county goes TO show that
the aboriginal method Of smoking tobac-
90 has votaries in this fair land Of ours,
notwithstanding the witchery OF the ci-
gazette and the seductveness Of the
cigar.
Clay and corpcpb pipes have been held
in high estimation in Virginia from the
time OF it's first settlement by Europeans

tho indians we have no means OF know

that Il was a tropical plant, and that the

found tobacco under cultivation and in
use here. as they had done long before
upon the banks of the Orinoco and in
the West Indies.

bacco being an exotic is plain TO every
investigating agriculturist, and that
Notwithstanding the fact that it has had
its home with us certainly for 300 years.

In this state. However that may be- II
IS indisputable that the Indians valued It
very highly; that the smoking habit ra-

that from the Virginia plantations the
leaf was shipped in great quantities to
England, and that thus the foundation
was laid for a trade which now concerns
every people upon the globe Tobacco is
nov cultN ated more or less In every
-ountry-even I'm Central Africa-and is
1mohcd by millions.
The common Indian pipe was made OF
soapstone; but others were made OF
shells, and yet others OF clay. Some Of
these pipes were deliberately. II not arts
