Washington, Blaine and High school
classes OF the public schools were held
yesterday afternoon. The Washing
ton school class numbered 2s, the High

The rooms in which h exercises were
held were so small that only q few in
vited friends and relatives Of the grad

ginning Of the next school term.

One of the vexed questions which
brought about the recent Indian out
break was the encroachments Of the
white men on their timber. The Off
cial reports Of the superintendent OF
logging for that district show that
much of the dissatisfaction comes from
the sale Of timber by the half-breeds,
mixed bloods and squaw men. The
following figures are given: Number OF
feet sold by the quarter-bloods, To-
547, 7,820 feet; number Of feet sold by
half-breeds, 2,261, ,270; number of feet
sold by the "squaw men," 1,611, 1896;
numbe- Of feet sold by the full-blooded
Indians, S45,339. Naturally the mixed
bloods are better able to do business
from their knowledge Of the English
language, and they make contracts for
the sale of timber which the full-blood-
ed Indians do not understand and hence
resent. Often the mixed bloods obtain
the consent of the Indians by fraud and
then sell out his claims thus obtained.
Altogether it is more the timber Ques-
ton than the liquor question which is
to blame for the outbreak, though
doubtless whisky played it's part there
as well as elsewhere.

DR.. ]. B. Learned offers new cure
Tor insomnia-a cure which he has tried
on himself with success. After many
vain resorts to nostrums ana ffQtRd, he
invented series of movemeHtSswhich,
being carried on in bed and acompan-
led by slow, deep breathing, induce
muscular fatigue, redistribute nervous
force, and thus dispose the whole body
10 repose. Might 1t not be just as well
to take some orderly exercise before
going to bed, and in the open air? More
fortunate still are they who can distrib-
ute this exercise over their working
hours. Centuries ago it was observed
that ''the sleep Of iaboring man is

The supreme trouble which has visit
ed the Emperor Of Austria Hungary as
the result Of an assassin's act may stay
for time the fierceness Of race hatred
which distracts his composite empire;
but Slav, German and the rest will al
most certainly renew the struggle. The
controversy so far as it concerns lam
guage Is strikingly illustrated by the
fact that the jubilee medals instituted
by the Emperor, as for service in the
army, navy or gendarmerie, have en-
graved Latin inscriptions. All other
medals which have been issued during
the present reign have borne German
Inscriptions. The Latin tongue Is thus
the language of compromise when occa-
sion requires.

Even China knows that new CEN
tury is dawnfng. The poet Tennyson
wrote not many years ago that he
would prefer ten short years of Europe
to "a cycle Of Cathay," meaning that
changes were so slow in the Chinese
empire that ten years here meant more
than a thousand in the fcwery king
dom. But to-day there is no place in
the world where history will show more
sudden and Kaleidoscope changes than
that same empire of China. Since the
Japanese war shook the very founda-
tions of their capital, the Chinese have
wakened from the sleep of ages and are
showing signs Of marvellous activity.
Revolution and re-revolution follow
each other so rapidly that even the war
correspondents Of the daily papers have
hard work to keep track Of them. Con-
cessions to England for the building Of
railways, mining Of coal, gold, copper
and oil are granted and revoked. Rus

Guilty in keeping decently clothed dur
ing the operations. The Emperor has
been murdered and resuscitated Tin the
daily papers) a dozen times at least IN
the past three months. In fact, be-
papers old China is having the liyeliest
times in all it's mighty career. One fact
seems beyond dispute, and that is that
an American missionary has been ap-
pointed president Of the National UNI
versity Of China with unlimited means
and full authority to make all necessary
arrangements to give the young men
of China a modern up-to-date education,
including football. This will do more
to make China nation among the na-
tions than anything else she could do.

The remarkable woman who is now
the real ruler Of China by the abdica-
ton or assassination of the emperor has
played an important part in China in
recent years. She was the secondary
wife Of the Emperor Hien Feng, who
fed from Pekin in 1861 when that city
was occupied by the French and En-
glish. AS the mother Of Tung Chi, who
succeeded Hien Feng, she was raised
to the rank of empress, and has ever
since made the Chinese court a scene
of intrigue for power and place. The
principal wife and the secondary were
jointly appointed regents in the place
Of Tung Chi, who was but boy, and
these two ruled China for twelve
years, when the boy emperor ascended
the throne. He reigned but two years,
dying in 1875. His widow soon follow
ed him, whether by the decree Of heav-
en- or the will Of the ex-regents has al
ways been mooted point. When
Kuang Su, the recent ruler, was de-
clared emperor at the age Of years,
the two expresses again became re-
gents, the joint rule lasting six years,
when the elder empress died, leaving
the present dowager empress in sole
possession Of power. Kuang Su as
cended the throne In 1889, but owing
either to lack of ability or to the de-
signed course Of education to which
he had been subjected, he remained a
boy in intellect, and it is not surprising
that the abitious dowager empress has
once more come into power with Ii
Hung Chang as her favorite minister.

A New Woman's
 Very New Enterprise

It is phlanthropic woman, interested in the applicants at church employment agency, says an exchange, who has dis covered a profitable profession entirely novel on this side the water, that of serv- ing as private pages.
 Hitherto in New York women have been quite content to have a maid servant ans wer the bell, but in big cities every woman yearns after omething more ceremonious, and the philanthropic person, getting frantic note from a friend, suddenly de- serted by her walters, hustles one of her small poverty-stricken proteges into suit of livery gave him an hours lesson in tending a door and sent him to her af- flicted friends.
 The boy was promised a dollar for one afternoons work, and ably did he per- form his duties that, at the end of the lit- tie reception he was not only given his dol lar but a hearty dinner and told to come back in a week and open the door for the lady's second Friday at home in November.
 Out of this small beginning the philan- thropic person has built up sort of small boys agency, has kept all winter no less than one dozen little chaps In the most profitable employment, and says she Is so encouraged that next winter she will in- crease her force to double its present num- Der.
 Her method of procedure in finding occu- patton for her proteges was simple enough. She informed all the women she could of her idea for keeping the boys busy, asked them to call upon her at any time their en- tertainments required an honest, tidy, cara
