SALISBURY FOR PEACE.
EnglanIs Premier Speaks of Amer
ica's War With Spain.

ica's War With Spain.
Lord Salisbury, the premier, addressing
the United Club in London last evening,
said:
There is black cloud on the horizon,
one that does not affect US personally,
but which evokes the deepest sorrow and
our largest desire for it's removal 1t is
the war of two great states, between whom
we are neutral-one bound to us by every
tie of kindred and similarity of institutions
and religion; the other the state tha,
fought on our side when we struggled with
the threatening tyranny of the first Ma
rOleon.
watching this terrible war, we are
bound to abstain from expressing any
preference or any judgment on either side
We know that in both cases the motives
were of the highest character. We know
that the United States are animated by
elevated philanthropy, and that Spain
is inspired by that love of independence
which was the greatest pride of all an
Client nations.
Il can only say I earnestly wish the iay
may speedily arrive when this terrible
slaughter between two nations will cease
and the world be restored to peace.
With this exception, the world looks
smiling enough to Us politically. The con-
vention with France has removed the SUBJ
1ect OF conflict between us and our great
est and most cultivated neighbor The
Soutan expedition, IL successfully accom-
piished, will be the greatest work for
civilization that England has performed
for two or three generations.
The government's Chinese policy is to
prevent the Chinese empire from falling
into ruins. to invite into paths of reform,
to give 1t every assists nee in our power.
to perfect its deferses, and to increase its
commercial prosperity.
Thus. we should aid China and our
selves. 1t Is impossible that we should
have rhe same influence over China IS
over India and Egypt, but believe that
SO Tar as railways are concerned our ad-
ventages win be fully equal to those Of
other nations"

COLDER THAN YUKON REGION.
Ninety Degrees Below Zero Marked
Last Year in Siberia


There is as yet no positive record of
the lowest range of the thermometer in
the upper Yukon region, but it is safe
to assume that this range extends year
ly to the -50-degree or --6O-degree
line, with a not improbable occasional
descent to a somewhat lower level. This
would be approximately the low-level
temperature of the true Arctic regions,
and yet by no means the lowest that
has ever been recorded. Thus Kane. in
his Arctic service. has seen rs de-
grees, and the officers of the British
polar expedition of 1876 recorded an
almost equivalent temperature of 20
degrees. On the other hand, the loves:
registry of Mr.. Peary's thermometer
was only SO degrees. Compared with
regions lying to the further south, the
winter climate of the Klondike does
not differ in severity very materially
from that of many parts of the more
thickly inhabited portions of British
America, as Manitoba or Alberta, or
even from Dakota or northern and cen
trail Minnesota, where almost annually
the mercury freezes in its tube.
While possibly sufficiently low TO
meet all the requirements of human
happiness or discomfort, this freezing
cold is yet far from equaling what is
a regular occurrence in many parts of
Inhibited Siberia. AT the governmental
town of Yakutsk, which is situated n
short distance without the Arctic realm.
a spirit marking of -75 degrees is no
infrequent event, and even so degrees
is hardly sufficient TO disturb the equa-
nimity of the inhabitants. In the win
ter of 1s94-95 the low record of SO de-
grees was established. At Verkoiansk.
just beyond the Arctic circle, the ther-
mometer in a single day in January,
1896, marked go degrees. This is the
lowest natural cold that has ever been
recorded. but the region which it marks
has long been recognized as one of the
"poles of cold' of the earth. Incidental
reference to cold of so degrees has
been transmitted from the Klondike.
but there can be little question that this
is an exaggeration of the actual sever
fly of the climate, the result of careless
observation or of instruments whose
rating is imperfect. y Philadelphis

The general oninion and II is

The general opinion, and it is
probably correct, is that the crucial
period for the Curtis bill is yet TO
come. The senate will dissect it
and pick it to pieces, it will be
discussed in the cloak rooms by
senators and friends and enemies
of the measure and when itreaches
the conference committee there
may be nothing left of the original
bill but the title. Pending the
consideration of the bill by both
the house and senate is the time
when townsite delegates must ex-
ercise their discretion and vigil
ance. 1t is the time when all re-
sources available will be needed to
thwart those who are opposing it
and who have necessarily worked
against it. 1t is stated, on what
appears to be good authority. that
there are representatives and sena-
tors who have promised to use
every means in their power to de-
feat legislation inimical to the in.
terests of the boss Indians. That
some such scheme has been rati-
fed and agreed upon is evident
from the fact that there was less
opposition to the bill while it was
being considered by the sub COM
mitlee than has heretofore been
manifested by the Indians when
they supposed their interests were
in jeopardy. There is no disput-
ing the fact that the provision in
the bill as it now stands relating
to townsiles is not at all to the lik-
ing of the Indian and this fact must
be borne in mind until the Curtis
bill or something better becomes a
law.--Capital.

Coleman's Rural World, has the
following pertinent advice to offer
on the subject of taking and read
ing local newspapers, and it is
worthy of perusal:
"One of the duties of the good
citizen is to subscribe for and read
a local newspaper. This is true
not simply because 1t is the duty
of a good citizen to pa'ronize home
institutions and not because the
newspaper is special representa-
tive and champion of the commu-
nifty, but because the citizen will
himself be directly profited. The
weekly newspaper, in the news
that it furnishes, the suggestions
that it makes, the advertisements
that it prints, the good, clean read
ing that it supplies, is worth far
more than the price of subscription.
The married man owes it to his
family, and the single man to him
self to subscribe for a local news
paper. Reading it will inform
him, broaden his mind, enlarge
his sympathies and unconsciously
to himself perhaps, make him a
better citizen"

THE NOTE OF THANKS.
4 Word with Girls About the Art OF
writing 1t.

"
just. a word. girls. about the gentle
art of writing graceful note of thanks.
Don't be chary of such notes. Does
somebody send you pretty gift, il goes
without saying that you write cordial
note of appreciation, but if some act of
courtesy is done, or some small favor
rendered. the written word of thanks
is too often neglected.
It's an art. this art of writing brief
word of thanks, but il is one which
every gentlewoman should cultivate.
and it will, in the long run, be of far
more service to her than even the mys-
teries of china painting or mandolin
playing.
You 90 out of town. perhaps, and
STAY overnight with a friend. and if you
wish as pleasant memory of your visit
to linger with your hostess as with
yourself you should write line repeat
ing to her your spoken thanks. oh,
that's board and lodging letter" you
say. Very true. but it's always appre-
ciated by the woman whose hOspitali-
" you have accepted, and, presumably,
enjoyed. Then. again, if a man sends
you book or 4 clipping from news
paper. or a card for club reception on
ladies' day. write that word of thanks,
even if you have TO get up in the middle
of the night to do it. As matter of
policy, if nothing else. you will find the
habit an eXpedient one, for people are
much more apt TO DO kindness for n
person from whom the invariable word
of thanks comes quickly and spontane-
ously than for that unpleasant and
matter-of-fact member of society who
takes all such courtesies as her just due
and does not trouble herself to send the
slightest acknowledgment of small So
cial courtesies.-Pittshurg Dispatch.
