The Mongonlian Alliance.

The reports of an alliance between
China and Japan which it is under
stood will result in the reorganization
of the military affairs of China under
instructions from the latter goven-
ment, will no doubt cause the European
Powers that contemplate appropriating
portions of the Flowery kingdom to
make haste. An alliance of this nature
under the leadership of Japan is some
thing that may well be designated as
the yellow Terror" Under proper or
ganizatiOn and equipment an army of
100000 Mongolians could be muster
ed by the two countries. To compare
a well drilled army of these formidable
proportions under efficient leadership
to the undisciDlined hordes that fled
in confusion before the Japanese few
years ago would be absurd. The exper-
ience of the English with the army of
Egypt has demonstrated that discip-
line and able leadership will accom-
plish astonishing results in any local
ity. A few years ago the Egyptian
soldiers We're regarded as the most
cowardly upon earth. In the engage
ments with the followers of the Mahdi
they would scatter like sheep at the
approach Of the enemy, and were worse
than useless at all times. Under in
struction of British officers and Stimu-
lated by the example of British SOL
diers the Cowardly felalheen of the
Nile soon became valorous warriors and
! shared the honOrs with the white men
at the famous battles Of Omdurman.
Within the past few years Japan has
demonstrated her ability to deal with
the situation in an intelligent manner
/ If given the opportunity, and the Pow
ers of Europe may well feel uneasy at
the prospects Of an alliance of the
character above mentioned. The bar
| barian host, unOrganized, undisciplined
and armed with antique implements of
war is to be pitied rather than feared
| by the armies of civilization; but the
barbarians equipped with modern
fighting appliances, well-drilled and
under efficient leadership will be able
to make the approach of a yellow war
| cloud an occasion for general appre-
hension.

Decrease in Forest Fires.

The devastating forest fires in Cen
tire county are the subject Of renewed
discussion over the gravity of these
annual conhagrations, and the laws
aiming at their prevention are again
being brought to the front.
The fire laws passed in 1897 are two.
First, the act of March 80, making
constables of townships ex-officio fire
wardens for the extinction of forest
fires, and the protection of forests
from fires.
The second act makes it the duty of
the county commissioners to appoint
persons under oath, whose duty it
shall be to ferret out and bring to pun
ishment all persons or corporations
who either willfully or otherwise cause
the burning of timber land, and to take
measures to have such fires extin-
guished where it can be DONE and it
provides penalty for failure on part
Of the county commissioners to attend
to this duty.
AS is frequently the case with bills
which legislators introduce, the first
act made no provision for the payment
Of services rendered by the ex-officio
fire wardens, and Judge Lindsay, of
Warren county, has therefore decided
it to be unconstitutional. The Superior
court has, however, recently affirmed
the constitutionality of the act and
Forest Commissioner Rothrock pro-
poses to enforce the law.
Statistics show phenomenal de-
crease in losses from forest fires since
the passage of these bills. In 1896 the
loss to this state was s557 900; in 1898
the report shows but 5000. and in the
past ten years a decrease OF 81, 900, 900
is recorded, Whether this good show
ing can be entirely attributed to the
fire laws is doubtful. The chief reason
for the decrease in forest fires, If judg-
ment can be based on observations in
Lackawanna and adjoining counties, is
that there are no more forests to burn.
SO thoroughly and conscientiously
have these fires performed their fiend-
ish task each successive year that fuel
for the flames has been exhausted.
This fact, together with the persist
ence with which Pennsylvania land
owners are endeavoring to wipe out
the woodlands from the face of the
earth, is largely responsible for the en-

WHAT THE POETS OFFER.
The Flower of Fame.

He sought 1t before the billow of spring
on the meadow was seen.
When only the flush of the willow was
tracing the river with green;
He scanned to the edge of the fraying
SHOWS that dappled the mountain
slope,
And ever too late the March sun rose, for
he searched the world with hope.
and that was the favorite hour
To one who had hunted from March to
May and never had found a flower;
For the light was full as though the sun
We're aiding his eager quest,
And there was no warning shadows to

And still in September's purple and gold

If he stopped in his feVerish roaming,

Too early came the cleaning; he was

And while, for a chance of the rarest

He is blind to the charm of the fairest; !;
he Is crushing beneath his feet

ing to the core of army sentiment can
only give 60 fair minded people the
conviction that no matter how inno-
cent the prisoner may be. he is fight
ing the great battle of his>lfc agains,
tremendous odds.
SO twisted, 50 tortured has been the
patriotic spirit in France during the
centuries of her history that, slipping
forlornly from her desperate grasp on
one frail idol after anothcr--.from the
splendid mockery of kings and emper-
ors from the Commune and the Repub-
lie, she finally has nothing left but the
Army. the hollow, pretentious type Of
this she clings with frenzled fingers
and far better in her eyes Is the de-
struction of an innocent man, Of hun
dreds of inoCent persons. than that
the honor of the Army shall be
smirChed. 1t is not alone the racial
prejudice, menacing as is the omuous
cry of Mort aux Juif," which Dreyfus
must combat, it is something deeper
wider reaching and more significant,
extending far back to the well springs
that gave the French people the life
of their greatest glory. their bravery,
and their greatest weakness, emotional
unrcliability at times when cool, calm,
unbiased judgment is demanded.

Boil 1t Down.

Whatever you have to say, my friend
Whether witty, or grave, or gay,
COndense as much as ever you can,
And say It in the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs,
Or matters and things in town,
Just take a word of friendly advice,
Boil it down.
If YOU go spluttering over a page,
When "a couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread so thin, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through;
So, when you have a story to tell
And would like a little renown,
friend,
Boil 1t down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To settle your thoughts in the feWest
words,
And let them be crisp and dry.
And when it is finished and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again. and then
Boil 1t down.
For editors do not like to print
An article laZily long,
And the general reader does not care
For a couple of yards of song;
So gather your wits in the smallest
space,
If you want little renown,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil it down.
Anon.
