manifested in the speech of Mr.. Plat

gued for expansion and ratification of

The following resolution was offered
by Mr.. Sullivan (dem., Miss.) who
asked that it lie on the table:
"That the ratification Of the pending
treaty with Spain shall in no wise 4e-
termine the policy to be pursued by ,.-e
United States in regard to the Philip

idea of providing directly for a regular
army Of 100000 men. He announced

plained by their belief that every
 thing burned at this time passes
 with the departing soul to the Spirit Land, and is used there the same as here. Even the pony eaten that night would carry it's master again in its new home.
 The scene of the burning that night was one long to be remem ber- ed. The blazing pile of logs, in little clearing, surrounded by low mesquite trees; the shadows of night pressing close around, but dispelled in the small circle containing the group of Indian mourners, a smaller group of whites, and the grewsome but hidden object fast turning to ashes; the doleful and unceaslng waillng, and the stentorian tones of the chief, all of these contributed to make the occasion one of profound solemnity.
 As the fire burned low, the spec 'ators and mourners slipped quietly away, leaving the clements to com- olete their work of destruction un-  yatched.-C. E. J. Tn l.. A. Times.

"MY turn for guard came at 2 a..
 m.," he writes, "and the man who
 woke me reported 'all quiet" so l
 perched myself on the breastwork and commenced to gaze down corn row.
 'Nothing was to be heard save the lizard and the night birds, who seemed to be discussing the pros and cons of national expansion.
 "The minutes wore on and the corn rows seemed to widen out and gradually disappeared from view, while in thelr place appeared the street of a peaceful little city in far-away Kansas. Things gradually took form and I could see the big maple tree in front of our neighbours gate, the long line of stone walls, the fence with roses hanging over to greet the passer, and the birds that seem to sing sweeter in Kansas than they do anywhere in the world.
 Suddenly there was a stir in the bamboo thicket at the end of the corn row, and I solved the problem of aerial transit on the moment by dropping over into the trench and leaving Kansas without even saying good-hy to the family cat. l raised the hammer of my Springfield and waited, without daring 10 breathe, for repetition of the noise.
 Suddenly there was a crack like stepping on a twig and grunted command. 1 strained my eyes and could discern a body that moved as though creeping toward me, while at the same time l heard a rustic in the brush, and the boys who were with me sprang to their feet and poured few volleysin the thicket. No more sleep that night, but the next morning we found that my aim had been only too true, and a Genus pork with a dozen pigs to mourn her loss, had gone to join 1 the vast majority.

IT is reported that the Kingman Mining Company has struck an eigbt-inch streak of 800 ounces silver ore in the old Echo mine, which they are operating in Cedrr district. The Echo mine, in early days, produced ore that paid to be hauled to the river, a distance of 60 miles, thence to Yuma by steam boat, and from there to San Fran cisco by rail.

ON WOMAN WAS THE JOKE?

A couple of ladies in Pana de- sired to play joke on the husband of one, and got things iuto a pretty mess before they got through. The husbands were absent from home when the ladies gave birth to child ren, twins being born to one and one to the other. The single baby was transferred to the bed of the twins in order to make the father of the twins think he was the father tf triplets. Then after the joke had been allowed to cause consternation for time in the mind of the sup posed father of the triplets, the whole thing was exposed, but the mothers were unable to identify the1r children, One woman took one and the other retained two, but neither is certain she has the right ones. Mysteries and other evid- ences of excitement are in order. but the complete identity of those children will never be established The mother of the twins will know that she has one of her children, but which one? While the mother of the one child will never be cer- tain that she hasn'eone of the other woman's babies.-From South Carolina Exchange.

ANY miner who has blow pipe, alcohol lamp and a few drops of sulphuric acid can, in few minutes determine whether tellurium is present in ores, All that is neces-. sary is to break off small piece of the ore, place it in small porcelain dish. previously warmed so as to avoid breaking, apply the blower until the ore is at an oxldizing heat, then put one or two droops of sul- phuric acid on the porcelain dish; allow to mix with the ore. The reaction will immediately follow if tellurium is present, by beautiful carmine and. purple colors.-Mining and Scientific Press.

UNION ARMY SURVIVORS.

An interesting table mas peer
 prepared by Gen. F. c. Ainsworth
 showing the probably number oi
 survivors of the Union army in
 each year from this time till 1910, and then at five-year intervals un- til 1945, when Gen. Ainsworth thinks it not unlikely that the last veteran of war for the Union may have passed away, This will be eighty years after the surrender ot Lee. A man to have enlisted at the age of IS in the last year of the war would be in about his 99 year in l945. That is the age of the oldest surviving soldier of the war of 1872, whose name the pension roll bears. In the case of the war of 1872, however, the number of widows on the pension roll is now 1898.
 If this ratio, practically 20O0 to one, were applied to Ainsworth's tables regarding the veterans them selves, it would appear that civil war pensions will by no means end in 1945. In 194O, he estimates that $40 veterans will be living. Does this mean that there will be 680,000 civil-war widows on the pension rolls? Obviously not. If however, Congress does not pass the law which has been many times recom- mended to make the young girls who are formally welded to old soldiers at the point of death in- eligible to a pension, the number may be surprisingly large. Four widows of the revolution still sur vive. Their average age is 84. Cornwallis surrended t18 years ago, or thirty-four years before these women were born. The average age of the daughters of the revolu- ton, of whom seven are on the pension roll, 86.
 It appears, from the best of cal culation, that can be made as to re-enlistments, that the actual nnm- Der of individual soldiers who served in the Union armies during the civil war was ?, 2,l28,948. Last year mark ed the the point where this number was more evenly divided between the living and the dead than at any other time. Now the survivors have become an actual minority of the great army of veterans, number ing 1,032,418, which is 32,000 less than half. The present number of survivors will be again divided by about 1912, when one-fourth of those who served in the Union armies may be expected to be liv- ing. An interesting comment upon the comparative proportions of the civil war and our recent Spanish war is found in the fact that in 1920, according to Gen. Ainsworth's statement, more men will be living who served in the civil war thanars now living who served as volunteers in the Spanish war. His estimate for 1920 is 251, ,727. In the five years following that time this num- Der will fail to 116,O73; in the next five years to 37,O33, and in the next half .decade-to I935-to 6296.-I Raltimore American.
