"JOE."

This is a world of change. A few short moons ago the papers were dec- orated with the picture of a fine-look- ing young man named "Joe' for short. Joe was as rich as he was and is hand some. He had a rich father. "Joe" wasn't satisfied with being young, rich and handsome. He wanted more. He wanted to be king. He chose for his kingdom the Chicago wheat pit and it's appurtenances. Then he set out to conquer and possess his kingdom. He started with large flourish, so large that wise men of the East and West wagged their heads in solemn fore- boding. But all went well for time. The young man went cheerfully on conquering and to conquer, until it looked on the surface as if he might really establish his throne and himself.
 But the sun, the moon, the stars, the
 earth and some of the men of the earth llned up agalnst hlm. He felt the strength of the opposition and he call- ed on his father for help. His father helped him until it became plain that both of them couldn't buck the uni verse. Then they stopped. and now the papers that were decorated with the picture of the coming king are saddened by the picture of the young
 man who did not come into the king
 dom which he had picked out for his use and enjoyment.
 Such is life. Ye who think wheat, love. joy or glory can be cornered, con- template the story of "Joe." and re-
 member that the higher ye fly the fur ther ye must fall.

SAVAGE FOES,

Admiral Sampson reports that four and their bodies barbarously mutilated. Such report is nothing more than might have been expected The Span- iards have always had some of the traits which have come to perfection in the Apache Indians. Spanish honor Is fine and Q glorious thing, but it doesn't forbid such inhuman work as has been done for a long time in Cuba, and has now been begun against sol- diers of the United States. The Roch- ester Democrat points out that when our army was in Mexico in 1S46 it was obliged to meet the old Spanish meth ods of warfare. Men on outposts or en- gagged in the ordinary duties about camps and stragglers on the march were lassoed by guerrillas and dragged to death over the plains. Others were killed by enemies creeping upon them at night or in lonely places. It became necessary to adopt measures to end this kind of warfare as far as possible. Iso- lated pickets were no longer employed, and every effort was made to capture the skulking murderers of our troops. Many of these efforts were successful and prompt punishment was meted. Commanders of the Mexican forces were made to understand that this kind of warfare must stop, and our officers were able to give emphasis to their de- mands.
 War cannot be carried on tenderIy, but civilized people don't carry it on in a savage way. If the Spaniards act like bad Apache Indians they will be treated as such Indians were The forces of the United States will not only remember the Maine, but they will remember such villainy as that which has taken place at Guantanamo.

authority of God for what it docs." These men control abso- lutely the votes of their followers, and attain their ends by an adroit use of the balance of power wherever they hold or can create 1t. They aim at the combination of Church and State. Al ready" said MT. Young, "the Mormons have two representatives in the United States Senate. Already they show their power in Idaho to dictate who shall represent that State in the upper house of Congress. Already Wyoming politicians have found 1t convenient at times to call for the abitrament of the Church in Senatorial crises Colorado is feeling the first faint stirrings of the new force. Arizona and New Mex ico--future States-have learned to re- spect it. Nevada is fair field that offers as many opportunities as Utah to the hosts of Zion.'
 This is rather alarming. If we es- cape the Spaniards only to be captured by the Mormons our fate will be a sad one,

vioIets or pompon of bright blue chif-

fon.
 Since the awful flare Of last seasons cerise hats we are little shy of red, yet a very stunning hat was one mass of tulle presenting every shade of red from shell pink to geranium and back again. Green trundled through all it's variations and blending into blue is even more elaborate, yet is not too much for a really good sized hat to manage, especially If the straw be blue and lot of the trimming shaded gauge. A very recent development in the use of green trimmings has them on black hats. One of these is sketched here with. It's black fancy straw was turn ed up in back with a full wreath of roses. Lying on the brim in front was one large pink rose, several punches of buds and a lot of leaves, so the stylish profusion of trimming was gained. Be- sides this, four large loops of taffeta In as many shades of green were grace fully disposed at the back.
 The hat turned straight back from the face vies with the down. tipped one for popularity. It might seem that only the very young face should risk the straight-back hat, but that should also be remembered of the down-tipped brim. The girl Of eighteen whose pret- ty little nose appears in danger of be- ing scraped by the brim of her hat looks attractively saucy when she peeps under the brin, while a face hardened by few lines takes on tough aspect quite terrifying under the same brin1. If the hair is turned back in really pronounced pompadour, is soft and of pretty color, then the turn ed-back hat is really becoming to all most any one, and the running dowa- ger with handsome roll of white hair over her forehead has as much reason to be grateful to her back-turned hat as has the pretty girl. These hats should be simply trimmed, the line of the brim constituting the effect.

possessions, in a dug-out canoe, pad died ashore to be in at the harvest. The prize of the day was the big fish's head and as soon as it was detached by the choppers the Chinamen crowded eager ly towards it. The Indian, who, by one of the exceptions that beset all the laws of human conduct, was working, caught the prize with his hook, dragged it across the floor to the platform over the running water, and dropped it down in the mud, some fifteen feet below, close to where his red-faced brother had landed. The cloochman hooked her claw-like fingers in the elastic mouth and lugged 1t, heavy load, to the up- per bank. Then she waded to the stern of the canoe, being without such ob- stuctions as boots and stockings, and took out bark water basket. But the washing of the head was a mere form atty, as the water of the river was thick with sand and dirt. She poured some murky water on the upper sur- face of the head rubbed it with her hand, looked at it thoughtfully and then carried it to the canoe, her lord and master looking on in solemn conn posture. In the course of an hour the waiting Indians had their canoes com fortably loaded with surgeons heads, while the Chinamen were continually trotting away to their huts with vari- ous kinds of refuse.-Victoria Corre- spondence Toronto Globe.

sity of this. As soon as battle begins the officer in charge of the regimental dogs stands near the ammunition wagon. Each dog is loaded with 15O cartridges in @ double saddle bag and sent to the fighting soldiers. After having the cartridges removed he trots back. Each dog seems to know what company he belongs to, for he will never allow any one except member of his own company to touch the car tridges. The German army dogs are trained when they find dead body to set up a prolonged bowling. If no one comes they take the dead mans cap or some small article and with this in their teeth go on a hunt for their trainer, whom they lead to the spot. If the man is wounded he gives his cap to the dog and the same object is accomplished.

HALF-ToN sruRaEoNs.

Isaw a sturgeon here on the cannery floor measuring twelve feet by the tape and weighing more than 500 pounds. Any one wishing to deceive the public by aid of a prevaricating camera should pose beside this twelve-foot fish. The man who skillfully and laboriously reduced it to sections with an axe said it was not an uncommon fish, though the biggest on the floor; that they often found them far larger and weighing as much as l200 pounds.
 Two men lifting a half-ton fish into their boat is the exciting feature of turgeon-tishing. The sturgeon if not fastened in his thick hide he is apt to resent it. He shakes his head in em- phatic dissent: and head three feet long and as big as a log, when vigor- ously shaken by a half-ton body, is a thing to be avoided. The tail, too, is d source of danger, for it not only slaps with energy, but can cover a large sur face with one application. The man new at the business is apt to get hurt the first time he helps to coax vrig- gling sturgeon of standard size over q gunwale.
 On the floor of the cannery the stur- geon is great, inert mass of fish. The first operation of the butchers is to chop off the head and tail with an axe, and for these free gifts of nature the Indians and Chinamen are eagerly waiting at the door. The fins are cut off with knife and these are not al- lowed to go to waste. As the refuse is shovelled along the blanks to the river there is little allowed to pass the coast native and his cousin of the braided hair. Chinamen potter around the place and help to clear away the refuse for the sake of what they can gleam and have weakness for taking parts not intended for the river. When such Mongolian tricks are discovered they are all driven out with more noise than ceremony, but they take their expul- sion with Oriental indifference, and in a few minutes are all back again.
 An Indian employed to help the butchers in turning over the big fish and hauling them there and there gave an amusing example of racial senti- ment, in throwing the most desirable refuse in the way of his red brethren, to the annoyance and loss of tlie Chi nese.

provincial capital-is so great that when it is stormy the waves render crossing in open boats a dangerous trip and the great tawny stream has it's full share of wrecks. When a steamer Is lost and the men on board have been saved from native savages on shore, the one thought is the opium and "sycee," or bar silver she had on board
 These are the topics that form the standard conversational themes in the treaty ports. The pilots are for the most part Chinese, under English or American command, and the vessels are chiefly of the American pattern.
 The triplet cities of Woo-chang, Han Yang and the Han-kow, with their united population of two millions, promise to become the most important center in China when connected with Picking by rail, and already they have assumed commanding importance Kin Kiang, behind which lies the great Tung-ting Lake, is the next treaty port ln descending the river, famous for it's porcelain. It is a. thriving industrial center. Wuhu, on the same bank, the right, is perhaps the least important or the treaty ports on the lower Yang tse, but Ching-K -Kiang, on the opposite shore, some distance below Nankin, derives importance from the neighbor- ing mouth of the great canal to Picking. Far up the river beyond Han-kow are Ichang and Chung King, only to be reached in smaller steamers. However, the journey up the gorges and rapids repays the pains, and few have return ed without glowing accounts, though the Whole of the three thousand miles Of the Yang-tse is not yet explored.
 Society in Chinese treaty ports is like that of Indian cantonmnts. There is a preponderance of English, small semi-circle of consuls and consular agents, the representatives of the all- powerful customs service-chosen so they say, as much because a man is a good fellow as because he knows his Work-and, of course, number of hard-working missionaries, English, Swedish, French Italian, German, Protestant and Romanist, who seldom meddle with society" Local postal ar engagements permit each port to issue it stamps, designed as often as not by the consul's wife, and of varying issues from time to time with an eye to busi- ness. And, though there is money yet to be made-plenty of it-there are few other attractions in life in the ports of the Yang-tse, even with the cosmo- politan civilization of Shanghai at hand to recoup.-From the Pail Mall Gazette.

LOOK OUT FOB THE MonMoNs.

Timid souls in this country who have ceased to fear the Spaniards can now enjoy themselves in fearing the Nor mons. It is probably the general opin- ion that the Mormons are now harm less, but Eugene Young, grandson of Brigham Young, told the Congrega- tional Home Missionary society at it's meeting in Cleveland the other day some things that do not support this opinion. Polygamy, he declared, was the least consequential feature of the movement which Joseph Smith had been brought to bear upon the practice, it's abandonment by the pres ent generation of Mormons was cer- tain, for it was thing of forced growth, and unable to stand the deter mined opposition which was manifest ed in the Church itself. The real dan- ger, according to this authority, lies in the political ambition of the Mormon leaders, which is, he says, ''as broad as the world and as deep as simple faith. It has a potent honesty that does not hesitate at dishonesty, and an honor that is honorable only in the sense that the end justifies the means Mormon ambition seeks only it's own ends, casting aside all other consider ations and defying human judgment by it's assertion that it has the

The half-depressed track Is essentially a
compromise. The viaduet system, IL prop

therefore to be welcomed heartily.
