On the Steamer Weare From

S 2O,OOO,OOO OUTPUT

Victoria, B. c., July 16.-Editor Shipey
of the Skaguay News who came down
on the Cottage City, says that this
years clean up at Dawson will be a
trif1e less than $40. O0O, 600, three-quarters
of this being in the custody of two big
trading companies who will send it
down by way of st. Michael. The May
West had $75OOOO and more and the
other boats which left June % and July
4, carry the balance of the output.
The Butler brothers, formerly of
Minnesota, say that the North Ameri-
can Trading and Transportation COM
pany has sent $5,OO0,0 900 down the river
by the steamer Weare, this being more
than the Alaska Commercial company
will forward by any single steamer and
possibly the largest Individual gold
shipment of the season
The Dawson newspapers do not ap-
proXimate the down river shipments
so highly, the Midnight Sun stating
that the Weare, Belle and Charles H.
Hamilton, do not carry to exceed four
millions
There is no longer any fear of a fam

GENUINELY HARD UP.

Out of Three Hundred Accepting Free
 Beds Only Five Had "the Price,"
 A short time ago a curious test was applied at the Lcndon Congregational Unions Free Shelter For Homeless Men at Medland hall, in the east of London. The object of the test was to ascertain If the men were really as penniless as they represented themselves to be-. The free shelter is intended for men who have not the fourpence necessary to pay for nights lodging elsewhere, and one night Edward Wilson Gates, the shrewd superintendent of the philanthropic work of the union, announced that he would give sixpence to each man present who could prove that he had some money, but less than fourpence. A chuo-- kling laugh passed over the 300, that being the maximum allowed in the hall
 "But how shall know that you have less than fourpence?" asked MT. Gates
 Search usp" cried the men. "You really mean it?"
 "Yes."
 "Very we'll, but if any one objects let him go to the gallery, and guarantee that he shall not be turned away"
 Only five of the 800 went up stairs and the others were thoroughly search ed by experienced men. Two hundred and forty y-nine had nothing, one had farthing, II had 8 halfpenry, one had three farthings, B had a penny, two had a penny farthing, four had three halfpence, nine twopence. three two pence halfpenny and two had threepence halfpenny. Thus out of the 300 men 295 had not the fourpence necessary for "fo'penny doss'' at lodging house. It seems pretty clear, therefore, that the men were genuinely "hard up. Lion don Culver.

A Mountain of sulphur.

The "Soufriere, or sulphurous mountain, is considered to be the great est natural curiosity of St. Lucia, and, in fact, of tho West Indies. It is situ- ated about half an hours ride from the town of Soufriere, to which it has given it's name, and nearly two miles to the east of the Pitons, and is at the foot of two small hills, both of which are quite bare of vegetation on the sides facing the crater.
 It covers a space of about three acres and is crusted over with sulphur and alum. There are several caldrons in a perpetual state of ebullitiOn. The water is quite black in the larger ones and boils up to the height of two or three feet, but i'll the smaller ones it is quite clear.
 Visitors never fail to boil some eggs in one of the smaller caldrons, obtain ing them from one of the creole guides, who keep supply on hand on purpose.

A Summer Evening i'm Morocco

From the little mosque of the village arises the watchword of Islam, and with long sustained musical notes the "mueddin" calls the faithful to prayer. In the gathering gloom one sees the Arabs congregating at the mosque, and a minute later the monotonous buzz of their prayers is heard.
 Then for a moment the sky is illum- ined, and the strange after-glow, gauzy mist of golden film, enwraps the whole scene. The plain becomes crim- son once again, and the heavens are ablaze with shafts of light. Black and gloomy against the glowing sky stands the outline of the stone village and its gardens. The owl ceases her already commenced hoot, hOot, and silence reignS.
 It is but for few moments, and then night falls so swiftly, so surely, that 1t seems as though veil were drawn over theNsce The cattle cease their low ing and the fiocks and herds their bleat- ing, and in their place the watchdogs bark. Where but a minute ago the tents were visible there is naught dis tinguishable now but the glow of the camp fires. The falling heavy dew brings forth the pent-up fragrance of the earth, and the night air is heavy with the scent of the orange blossom in the gardens near by.
 For an hour the stars reign over the world, the deep sapphire sky ablaze with their myriad fires; then they in turn fade before the moon as through the steamy mist of the plain she rises in the east.
 Then all the world Is silver, and si- lence reigns supreme except for the little owls in the olive trees.

BURNE-JoNEs.

Rossetti's Influence In Causing the
 Artist to Hyphenate His Name.
 It may or may not be true that it was Rossetti who urged Burne-Jones, when at the outset of his career, to connect with hyphen 'Burne" and "Jones, " says William Sharp in The Atlantic. " Jones' is nobody" Rossetti would declare. "only particle of vast null tiplel But ne-Jones-that is unmis- takabler'
 It was an amusing trait in Rossetti that he was won't to designate the good work of this or that friend as the work of-and be would mention the most distinctive name or part name of the person concerned. Thus he would say, ''Yes, that is Burne-J Jones, but this, this here, you know, is only Jones', or 'That now is the real Holman Hunt, but this here is only Hunt," or, "You can hear Tennyson in that, but Alfred wrote the other lines. '"
 recall two amusing instances where Burne-Jones more or less unconsciously adopted the same method. He was asked once if he thought William Bell Scott more eminent as a poet or as an artist. "I never thought very highly of Bell, :" he replied. Then, seeing look of sur prise, added, with a humorous twinkle, "I liked old Bell Scott-old Scotus, as we always called him-immensely, and I think William Bell Scott wrote some very fine verse, but always thought it was a pity that Bell took to paintingl"
 The other instance occurred when some one remarked to him that ''Par- nell was only an agitator. "Charles Stewart Parnell, he replied with em- phasis, "was one of the greatest public men of our day and far and away the ablest Irish leader" But Parnell, |" etc., resumed the objector, to be again corrected by the other disputaat, "Charles Stewart Parnell," etc.

Bowling Round the World.

Probably many readers will be sur prised to learn that cricket ball leaves the hand of fast bowler at speed equal to that of an express train.
 Some time ago a test was made by means of electric screens of the rate of bowling of Turner, the famous Austra- Han bowler. It was found, as the result of a series of trials, that the ball tra- versed the distance between the wick cts at the rate of over fifty miles an hour. As Richardson Is a still swifter bowler than Turner, it Is safe to esti- mate his highest speed at a mile a min- ute.
 If it were possible, therefore, to have a line of bowlers, placed at suitable in- tervals, and each one delivering his ball when his predecessors ball reached him, the distance between London and Leeds could be covered in four hours with ease, and the circuit of the earth at the equator in less than twenty-one days.

Go1d.mith,. Genero.itx.

A beggar once asked aims of Oliver Goldsmith as he walked with friend up Fleet street, and he gave her shil- ling. His companion, knowing some thing of the woman, censured the writer for his excess of humanity, saying that the shilling was misapplied, as she would spend it for liquor. "If it makes her happy in any way. my end is an swered, /" replied Goldsmith.
 Another proof that the doctors gen. erosity was not always regulated by dis cretion was at time when, after much delay, day was fixed to pay the $40 due his tailor. Goldsmith procured the money, but friend calling upon him and relating piteous tale of his goods being seized for rent, the thoughtless but benevolent author gave him all the money. The tailor called and was told that if he had come little sooner he could have had the money, but that he had just parted with every shilling of it to friend in distress, adding, "I would have been an unfeeling monster not to have relieved trouble when in my pow ar D

Heavily Taxed.

In the Philippine Islands man must pay license to sell cocoanuts from his own trees or indigo of his own raising. Every article of furniture that costs half a sovereign is taxed. The curtain never goes up at the theater unless two pounds Is paid to the Government, and for every act of slaughtering his own animals, clipping his own sheep or fell ing his own trees the Philippine farmer must pay a fee to the Government. There is exacted Government tributes for getting married and for being buried, and at every step and turn of his life the tax collector holds out his hand to him, and it is not a demand that can be refused.

WHY THE LATlNs CAN'T SHOOT.
One Theorist Declares It Is Because
 Their Eyes Are Dark.N

Their Eyes Are Dark
 Some physiological theorist has un- dertaken to prove that the reason that the Spanish and continental peoples generally cannot shoot well is because they have dark eyes, and points to the fact that the prize winners at rife con- tests, both in England and in this coun- try, are apt to have eyes of gray or blue or some other light shade. However, it takes a good many instances to prove case like this, and it is probable that the eye is of less consequence than what is behind it. For example, the Spaniards could see our ships perfectly well; the truth was that their big guns were not pointed at what they saw. It might be said, too, that on land the Spanish have shown that they are by no means despicable marksmen. Ger tainly the men who stood in front of their rifles at Fl Caney have not a word to say against them. And yet. 1t was not strictly f1rst-class work with the rife, or our men would never have been able to carry the intrenchments against all the rules of warfare. If the Span ish had shot with their Mausers as our fathers shot at Bunker Hill and New Orleans with their fiint-locks, we should have been beaten back.
 It is clear that in the future war on land as well as sea will depend on the "man behind the gun" Military dis cipline can be imparted in a few months or in year or two at most, but that instinctive hardness with the gun, that ability to judge distances and to shoot to kill, which is so differ ent thing from mere mechanical dis charge of a given number of shots ac- cording to rule, can be acquired only by habitual training from youth. Hith- erto we have been a frontier nation, and shooting has been practiced more by the people at large than by any other civilized people, except the Swiss and Boers. England is a land of ex- pert shooters, but the lower classes, from which the private soldiers are re- cruited, have comparatively little op- portunity to shoot, on account of the restriction of gun and game license laws.
 It may be that in the future we shall find it necessary to devise some means to stimulate rife practice, in order to keep up to our traditional standard. It is obvious that other things being equal a nation of marksmen must be fr1Ty yIT1n h lVA 4t2 war, and widely diffused skill with the rife is truly ''cheap defense of na- tions."-Springfield Republican.

Few Manufacturers.

The manufacturing industries of Spain are few and unimportant, and the entire number of operatives in the king dom is not larger than that of half dozen of the principal manufacturing cities in New England. Spain imports twice the cotton goods and four times the silk goods that she exports, and these exports are made chiefly to the Spanish colonies, in which the market has greatly fallen off. Spain Is rich in iron, lead, zinc, copper and quicksilver, and with her admirable commercial To- cation might supply the Mediterranean countries with manufactures and have little competition.

One of the finest specimens of a real Irish bull was perpetrated by that clever and witty but laundering Irish knight, Sir. R. Steele, when inviting an English nobleman to visit him. elf, sir, :" said he, 'you ever come within a mile of my home. I hope you will stay there.
