Gently the minister OF agriculture, the Hon5 A.
Herholdt, returned from tour of the purely
native districts Of thes colony beyond the Kei
River. 1t was his first official visit, and Mr.
Herholdt, who is himself practical farmer
speaks of what he saw among the natives in
language which will surprise those who assert
that the Kafflr is only fitted to be newer of
wood and drawer of water. The minister says
that one of the native agricultural shows ne
saw was much superior to show by Europeans
in the same district. II Moreover, he found the
natives expert at keeping their focks clean and
healthy. Altogether, the minister has come back
greatly impressed, with the possibilities of ma

Novel scheme to Reach the Pole.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

Seattle, WASH, June 30.-The latest and most
novel scheme for getting to the North Pole has
been suggested by A. C. Jackson, president OF
the Alaska Geographical Society, and he says that
the proposition is going to be presented by him.
self to the International Geographical Congress
that meets in Berlin the latter part of Septem-
ber.
His idea is to start from some point on the
north coast of Alaska with three ships, loaded
and provisoned for fve-years cruise, sail as
far north possible and then tie the vessels fast
possible. Then he proposes to unload herd of
reindeer that is aboard the ships and start over
land for the Arctic mecca, unreeling a spool OF
copper wire for the purpose of keeping in con-
slant telephone communication with the men
aboard the vessels and to serve as guide to re-
turn after the pole is reached.

CARPET MILLS
WILL COMBINE

New York, May 10.-It is reported chat
negotiations are in progress with an tx-
cellent prospect OF soon reaching a sue
ccssful conclusion for a combination Of
manufacturers of all grades of carpets
of a corporation which will be known as
the National Carpet company. and will
be capitalized at between Si0,eoo, 900 and
$50, cGo. G0o. The consolidation is being
promoted by New York and Boston cap
italists. 1t is said the Ma .ioual Carpet
company will buy a plant for a sum
agreed upon, paying one-half cash, to
represent the investment in real estate
and machinery, and one-haif in olnmon
stock of the new company. 1t will also
pay cash for material on hand, manufac-
tured and unmanufa ctured. In particu-
lar cases the book accounts will also be
purchased, if guaranteed. The cash to
make the purchases will be raised by the
sale of a I per cent cumulative preferred
stock, which will be offered to the con-
Germs going into the movement. This
carries a bonus of one share of common
stock for each two shares of preferred,
so that each concern can become an UNI
derwriter. There are no commissions to
be paid to any underwriting syndicate.

ANOTHER PROTEST.
AGAINST DR.. BRIGGS

New York., May 1O.-Another formal
protest, presenting the views of a large
number of Protestant Episcopal clergy
men against the proposed ordination of
the Rev. DR.. Briggs, has been forwarded
to Bishop Potter. The protest was the
outcome of a largely attended meeting
of the New York Catholic club. held at
ST. Ignatius church. and was unani-
mously adopted. 1t was decided by the.
members of the club not to give out the
protest for publication until after it had
reached Bishop Potter's hands. 1t is I'M
derstood, however. that the protest calls
attention to the religious principles of DR..
Briggs, as evidenced by his writings and
by his sermons. points Out that doubt as
to his eligibility has existed in many
quarters, notes that a strong demand for
an investigation as to his standing and
regularity has bee made, suggests the
improperly of a secret ordination, and
asks for the appointment of a committee
to investigate the charge. Otherwise, it
IS stated, the danger Of further dissen-
sion in the church will be great and a
rupture may follow.
Bishop Potter still maintains his silence
in the matter and no sign whatever has
come from him as to his intention and
purpose. When asked If he had any,
thing to say about the case he replied: :.
Nothing whatever. I have been try
ing for several years to get reporters TO
understand that I do not talk about my
affairs through the newspapers, but you
Oh seem to be unable to grasp the sig
nidcance Of my declaration"

LIKE WASHINGTON.

There was once a little boy born in
Persia who was called Cyrus. His grand
father, who was a king, thought that
when, the boy grew up he would want to
be q king himself, so he had the poor lit
tie baby carried out into the forest and
left there to be eaten by the wild beasts.
But a kind-hearted woman was looking
after her sheep thai day and she found
the little baby, which she took home with
her.
As Cyrus grew into boyhood he seemed
in some way different from the other boys
around him; and so, whenever they play
ed at soldiers, it was always Cyrus who
was general, and whenever they played
at kings. it was always Cyrus who was
King, and they We're his subjects.
One day, when he was pla aging king. he
led the other boys out on what we should
call an apple-stealing expedition; only, in
stead Of apples, they were pomegranates:
They went into the ground belonging to a
poor man, picked a great many pomegran-
ates ard ran away before the owner could
catch them. But the next morning the
man went to their schoolmaster and told
him how much fruit he had lost, begging
him to find out which of the boys had
stolen it and to punish them severely.
One by one the boys were called before
the master. but each of them said he
knew nothing about the pomegranates.
At last Cyrus appeared n was asked
whether he knew anything of the robbery.
II did it," he said at once. Let me be
punished. I was the leader. I can break
into an orchard and steal a pomegran-
ate, but l cannot tell a lie. 1t was all my
fault, and I am ready to bear the punish
ment which I deserve for being a thief. AS
for the others, you must not ask me to
name them. I was their king, and am re-
sponsible for them"
