There has been hardly a shading Of rates
charged by the government-owned rail-
ways in Germany during he last twenty
years. From Breslau TO Berlin, 222 miles,
the rate is a little over IS cents per 100
pounds on grain. From Chicago 70 New
York, nearly 1000 miles, the rate on the
same class OF freight is but 10 or y cents
per 100 pounds. This may be taken as
Illustrating the difference, to the patron,
between government and private railroads.

own in the maintenance of law and
order This begins at once the work
of a provincial war department. And
the experience of the British occupa-
ton gives few more noticeable exam
pies of the benefits of the white mans
training for native troops. The fell
lab soldier in the days of Ismail was
just about as bad as possible to bear
the name at all. He was maltreated,
impressed, and discharged indiscrimi-
nately; seldom paid, and more seldom
pensioned. His name became such a
byword for cowardice and incapacity
that he grew to believe in his own bad
reputation; for when, under Arab, he
rose against the government in 1882,
he was as worthless as when serving it.
In the early days of the occupation the
mere talk of plans for reconstructing
the Egyptian army was subject for
international jesting. And even when
it was begun, when British officers led
the fellah in the tragic Soudan cam
paign of 1884, he threw down his gun
and ran, before the smallest force Of the
enemy, in spite often of his double and
treble strength. He submitted to
death rather than fight. The result
of training, shown by the record made
by Egyptian troops in the Soudan since
$780, is too well known to require
specification. For patient, steady,
quietly brave service the fellah now
has few superiors. H. has neither the
dash of his black Soudanese comrade
nor the intelligent quickness Of his as
sociate Tommy Atkins But he stands

feet in diameter, its walls being nearly

six hundred feet.
That remarkable traveller among
women, Isabella Bird Bishop, made an
ascent of Mauna Loa, and thus de-
scribes its wonderful crater:
by day the cooled crust of the lake
had looked black and even sooty, with
fountain of molten gold playing up
ward from it; by night it was all in
candescent, with black blotches of coll
ored scum upon it, which were per-
petually being devoured The center
of the lake was at white heat, and
waves of white hot lava appeared to
be wallowing there as in a whirlpool,
and from this center the fountain
rose, solid at its base, which is esti-
mated at one hundred and fifty feet in
diameter, but quivering and frittering
as it rose into the air, and falling from
the great altitude to which it attained,
in fiery spray, which made a very
distinct clatter on the fiery surface
below. When one jet was about half
high, another rose so as to keep up
the action without intermission, and
in the lower part of the fountain two
subsidiary curved jets of great vol
ume continually crossed each other
-. 1t is probable that the whole
interior of this large dome is fluid, for
the eruptions from the summit crater
do not proceed from its filling up and
running over, but from the mountain
sides being unable to bear the enorm-
Gus pressure, when they give way high

FLOWING ICE AND IT'S EFFECTS
Tremendous Energies Exerted In silence
~ ri

Tremendous Energies Exerted In silence
and Darkness.
An interesting article on the subject
of the action of flowing ice appears in
the Atlantic Monthly. 1t says: 1.-THE
action of flowing ice, whether in the
form of riyer-like glaciers or broad
lnantling folds, is but little understood
as compared with that of other sculp-
turing agents. Rivers work openly
where people dwell, and so do the rain,
and the sea laundering on all the
shores of the world, and the universal
ocean of air, though invisible, speaks
aloud in thousand voices and ex-
plains its modes of working and its
power. But glaciers back in their cold
solitudes work apart from men, exert
ing their tremendous energies in ST.
lence and darkness. Coming in vapor
from the sea, flying invisible on the
wind, descending in snow. changing to
ice, white, spirit-like, they brood out
spread over the predestined landscapes.
working on unwearied through un-
measured ages, until in the fullness Of
time the mountains and valleys are
brought forth, channels furrowed for
the rivers, basins made for meadows
and lakes, and soil beds spread for the
forests and fields that man and beast
may be fed. Then vanishing like
clouds, they melt into streams and go
singing back home to the sea. Stand
ing on this adamantine old monument
in the midst of such energy, getting
glimpses Of the thoughts of God, the
day seems endless; the sun stands still.
Much faithless fuss is made over the
passage in the Bible telling the stand
ing still Of the sun for Joshua. Here
you may learn that the sun stands still
for every devout mountaineering
everybody doing anything worth doing,
seeing anything worth seeing. One
day is as a thousand years, thousand
years one day, and while yet in the
flesh you enjoy Immortality.

ufacturing interests, the big army and
city contracts, the tramways, and pref
ty much all other properties of high
value, and also the small businesses
were in the hands of the Jews. He
said the Jew was pushing the Chris
tan to the wall all along the line:
that it was all a Christian could do to
scrape together living, and that the
Jew must be banished, and soon-there
was no other way of saving the Chris
tan. Here in Vienna, last autumn,
an agitator said that all these disas-
trous details were true of Austria
Hungary also, and in fierce language
he demanded the expulsion of the
Jews. When politicians come out
without blush and read the baby act
in this frank way, unrebuked, 1t is a
very good indication that they have a
market back of them, and know where
to fish for votes.-Mark Twain, in

BALLOON SPIDERS.
Thas Float Through the Air in Baske
They Have Tovan

Thas Float Through the Air In Baskets
They Have Woven.
The ordinary California buzzard, and
the singular ravens OF Santa Catalina
Island, often give marvellous exhibi-
tons of soaring or rising in the air
without moving their wings, and when
it is remembered that their bodies are
reduced to a minimum weight, and
that even the bones are filled with air,
it is almost scientific and literally true
that they are living balloons. As
stroller who had descended the bank
by little trail crouched low in the
shadow Of wild lilac, he saw against
the dark-green bank of the opposite
canyon cobweb afioat; then another,
drifting down the aereal channel on
the wind. Others followed--a process
sion of webs was passing; some were
long and formed of a single thread of
silk; others had a delicate mass OF
fabric attached. Presently one Of them
came so near that he put out his hand
and caught it. 1t was a perfect bal
loon, and the aeronaut-a small spider
sat complacently on its basket, a
fluffy mass Of web half an inch in
length, light as a feather, and sup
ported by long thread which reached
away, undulating and curving upward.
Scores of these aeronauts passed by,
drifting up the little canyon, borne
aloft by the upward current of the air.
The stroller noticed a number of spi-
ders on the leaves and branches in sin
gular attitudes, and then it occurred to
him that there was spider migration
and that instead Of walking or crawl
ing away, the insects were going, like
Andree, by balloon. More on the
leaves Of the wild lilac were preparing
for the journey across the chasm, form
ing. building and launching their bal
looms. A spider that had been actively
climbing UP branch of neighboring
oak now stood on an outer leaf and
prepared to make its balloon. 1t had
a wonderful arrangement of spinner
cts in which the balloon-making ma
terial, which is also employed to con-
struct nets and traps, is stored. Some
Of the spiders have an additional spin
ming organ and comb-like implement
upon the hind legs, by which they
comb out the silk, making tangle OF
fine webs Thus they are well pre-
pared to make cables for balloons, guy
ropes, net, and, by the aid of the
comb, fluffy platform web Some Of
the spiders made little platforms of
fluffy web as they went; Others merely
chung to the thread; but, in one way or
the other, scores Of them crossed the
canyons and Travelled through the air,
aeronauts in all the name implies.

MILK FOR DEWEY.
Beautiful Belle of Manila Secured It
for Him When Badly Wanted.

Beautiful Belle of Manila Secured 1t
for Him When Badly Wanted.
There is a pretty little tale about a
beautiful mestiza, who. they whisper
in Manila, saved the admiral's life.
Last summer, so the story runs, the ad-
miral's health was much impaired and
the Olympia's doctor prescribed diet
Of fresh cows milk. One might as well
recommend dissolved pearls to beg
gar as to prescribe cows milk at that
time in Manila. The admiral was tell
ing, as a good story, the incident, one
day, to party of his friends
from Manila, one of whom hap
pened to be the pretty young
mestiza, whose father is prom
inent Britisher. They all laugh
ed heartily at the American Doctors
absurdity-that is, all except one. As
in all fairy tales 1t SO happened that
this pretty young lady's father was the
possessor of a number of splendid Aus
tralian cows, who gave real milk" ev-
cry day. This was a treasure that few
were able to indulge in in Manila.
Therefore it happened that the next
day, and the next, and
manana indefinitely, as long as the
Olympia lay in the harbor of Manila,
there was sent every day aboard ship
a nice, fresh bottle of Australian cows
milk, and so our Indebtedness to Eng
land continues to increase. Whether
the story is true or not there is, at any
rate, or was, in conspicuous pace on
the dresser in the admiral's cabin.
when the Olympia sailed from Manila,
a picture of the very celebrated Manila
beauty, and, unless the seas get too
heavy, I'll wager that it is still there.

LARGE APPErIrES.

They Produce Heart Trouble and Death
from Over Eating.
New York World: In their way OF
living and way of dying Ingersoll and
Roswell P. Flower were typical Of
very large class. Both led sedentary
lives. Both had a great deal of sup r.
fious flesh. Both had large appetites
and apparently superb digestions. Both
died of "heart trouble" Almost in
variably in men of this sort heart
trouble" means simply stomach trcub e,
the results of Indifference to or un-
belief in the simple laws as to eating
and drinking. The fallacy that ma
ture knows what she wants, and by
giving man huge appetite signifies
that he must eat hugely" numbers its
victims by the tens of thousands. Liv-
ing up to this fallacy produces what
appears to be and in some cases may
be heart trouble. Then the man with
the big appetite attributes all his suf-
ferings from indulgence in food and
drink not to his robust appetite" but
to his weak heart" He takes care
of his heart, but continues to overload
his stomach. And if any one, even
his physician, tries to warn him
against indulgence Of his hearty,
healthy appetite" he laughs or gets
angry. 1t takes little food to provide
all the nourishment the body needs.
All above that little is superfuity, and
man must constantly guard against
the tendency to increase this super
fuity. When age approaches the
amount of nourishment necessary
tends to decrease, but appetite tends
to increase. Hence these untimely
deaths of men in their physical and
mental prime. Always leave the tab Q
hungry. And when you do not feel
well do not eat at all.

WHY JEWS ARE PROSECUTED.
In Germany So Per Cent OF Successful
Men Are Hebrews.

In Berlin, a few years ago, read
speech which frankly urged the expul-
sion of the Jews from Germany, and

his proposition. 1t was this: That So
per cent of the successful lawyers of
Berlin were Jews. and that about the
same percentage Of the great and lu-
crative business of all sorts in Ger
many were in the hands Of the Jewish
race! Isn't it an amazing confession?
1t was but another way of saying that
in population Of 100000, Of whom
only 100000 were registered as Jews,
SIS per cent of the brains and honesty
of the whole was lodged in the Jews.

working rule, nevertheless. The
