81 A Beauty of the Arctic.

There is a beautiful bird called the
rosy gull, very few specimens Of which
exist in any museum, and whose entire
life is spent in the immediate neigh
borhood of the eternal ice that sur
rounds the north pole. a paper de-
scribing these curious birds was read
at the recent meeting Of the American
Association in Boston by Mr.. John
Murdoch. They follow the advance Of
the ice towards the south as winter
comes on, keeping near the loose edge
Of the floating pack ice, and then re-
treat with it toward the north when
the summer sun begins to rise high
upon the Arctic circle. The bird is
small and Of deep rose color, whereas
all other gulls are white.

about it. The water spider shins down

OUR COLONIES.
,h,. writer Say. D.mocr.tlo

This Writer Says Democratic Govern
ment VIII Be Impossible.
To sum up, we find that Holland has
succeeded in Java, where thepopulatl0n
is composed of Malayans and forced
labor has been enacted; that she has
failed in Surinam, where the popula-
ton is largely negro, and where no
compulsion has been used; that Eng
land has failed wherever the popula-
ton is composed Of negroes and has at
tanned a moderate degree Of success
only where East Indian laborers form
a considerable proportion of the pop
ulation and a contract labor system is
in force; finally, that wherever, IN
these colonies which, have been dealt
with. any considerable industries exist
the East Indian indentured Immigrant
is found doing the work, says w. Al
LEVINE Ireland in the Atlantic Monthly.
Any attempt to govern the tropical
possessions of the United States on
democratic principles Is doomed to Ger
tain failure. It has been clearly shown
that without forced labor, or at least
some form OF luueu1uIeO ldOOl, &1dASSS
industries cannot be developed in
tropical colonies. The system under
which this country might hope to
achieve success with her tropical pos
sessions is one which the United States
is not likely to adopt. It is the sys-
tenn advocated by Froude for the ISL
and of Dominica surely the most
beautiful of all tropical islands: Find
a Rajah Brooke If you can, OF. Mr..
Smill of Seilly. $50 Send him out
with no more instructions than the
knight Of La Mancha gave Sancho-to
fear God and do his duty. Put him
on his mettle. Promise him the praise
of all good men if he does we'll; and
If he calls to his help intelligent per-
sons who understand the cultivation OF
soils and the management Of men. in
half 1 score years Dominica would be
the brightest gem Of the Antilles.
The leading Of the wise few, the will
ing obedience of the many, is the be-
ginning and the end Of all right action.
Secure this, and you secure every
thing. Fail to secure it, and, be your
liberties as wide as you can make them
NO success is possible.

SIOUX MEDICINE WOMAN
An Actress said TO Possess some vaiuaal
t38 Indian Secrets

An ACCrO0S SAID 60 H018O00 some V0lU33eO +
1ndisn Secrets.
Henrietta Crossman, the actress, ~
q full edged medicine woman Of the
Sioux tribe Of Indians, among whom
she is held In high esteem. It Is not
to be inferred from this that Miss
Crossman has Indian blood in her veins.
The story Of how she obtained the se-
crets she Is alleged to possess illustrates
the mortal hatred which one tribe Of
Indians may feel toward another, while
at the same time showing the graft
tude and appreciation of kindness thht
sometimes crop out from beneath the,
calm and reserve of the redskin. When
Miss Crossman was baby her father.
Major Crossman, well-known Indian
fighter of the regular army, was sta
toned In Minnesota. At that time the
Chippewas were almost continually
turbulent. During a brief period OF
peace one Of the Chippewa braves took
to- wife" Sioux maiden. This was
serious breach of Chippewa etiquette
and the new squaw had to face the
bitter jealousy and hatred Of several
other wives. While peace lasted she
was comparatively safe, but as soon as
hostilities broke out again and her hus-
band was called away to fight her life
was made miserable. About this time
Mrs. Crossman was deeply concerned
about her baby girl, who was SUFFERING
from pneumonia and lay lowering be-
tween life and death. One evening the
mother was sitting beside the cot of her
suffering little one when young
. squaw dashed into the house and
sought protection. It was the Sioux
girl who had been driven from her h1s-
bands tepee by the other wives. One
OF them had attempted to stab her,
but the Young Sioux seized the knife.
and thus saved her life, at the cost OF.
a terribly wounded hand. Mrs. Cross
man gave the poor creature such aid
! as was possible while the wounded
squaw told her story. Then the dusky
visitor asked to look at the sick baby,
and on learning the cause of sickness
declared her ability to relieve the little
one, adding that her father was the
great medicine man of the Sioux, and
that from him she had learned many
secrets. Mrs. Crossman, feeling that
the Indian girl would at least not harm
4 the child, gave permission for an ex-
pertinent to be made. The squaw at
once departed and in an hour returned
with some herbs which she combined
into medicine which actually seemed
to afford the child speedy relief. A
few days later the baby was as well as
ever Then the Sioux girl disappeared
and succeeded in reaching her Own
people. VIXEN Miss Crossman was old
enough she told the story. In after
years she met the Sioux woman and at
the latter's request was formally
chosen a medicine woman A number
of Indian secrets we're confided to her,
and now her fame is great among the
Sioux. Thus it happens that whenever,
with her company, she chances to be
playing near an Indian settlement she
is sure to be overwhelmed with dusky
visitors, bringing all sorts of offerings.
Il Sne has a smattering of the Sioux
language, and it seems strange to see
the big chiefs and warriors bow dowu
to this dainty little woman.

Boston, Nov. 15.-The American Wool

The wool market Is excited and advance

facturers are in competition with each
other in their eagerness to secure woods
and all grades are feeling the impetus
of the buying movement, which is rapidly
decreasing available stocks here and
elsewhere. A tremendous business has
been again transacted, the sales for the
past week aggregating more than Is, 00O,-
900 pounds. Large lines of fleeces. wash
ed and unwashed fine and medium terri
tory, Texas, California and Oregon woods,
as well as foreign woods, have been
moved. in most instances at the top fig
ures.
Foreigners have made still further pur-
chases of our woods for export. The mar
ket is so excited that it is not an easy
matter to quote prices, but tho tendency
is upward In most marked manner. A
wool famine Is threatened on account of
the depleted stocks at home and the re-
duced clip abroad.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 14,sSs.776 pounds domestic
and 1474.000 pounds foreign, making a
total of 16,3l7.776 pounds against total
of 900 pounds for the previous week
and total of 7,9250O0 pounds for the cor
