with cumulative boasting.
I'VE had fifty callers on New Year day"
"Ohi but we had SiXty-five.'
This perfunctory performance grew very
tedious by the time that the calling hours
were ended, but apart from this the day
was one on which families We're greeted by
distant relatives rarely seen, while old
friends met and revived their pleasant
memories. In our house the rooms were all
thrown open, and bright fires burned in
the CRATES. l recall a New Year day, early
in the thirties, on which a yellow chariot
stopped before our door. A stout elderly
gentleman descended from it, and came in
to pay his compliments to my father. This
gentleman was John Jacob Astor who was
already known to be possessed of great
wealth.
The pleasant custom just desert
said to have originated with the .Jdtch
settlers of the olden time. AS the city
grew in size. it became difficult and well
nigh impossible for gentlemen to make the
necessary number of visits. Finally, a
number of young men of the city took it
upon themselves to call in squads at houses
which they had no right to molest, con-
Stunning the refreshments provided for other
guests, and making themselves disagree
able in various ways. This offense against
good manners led to the discontinuance, by
common consent, of the New Year recep-
tions.

HABITS OF THE HORSE.
Fear of wolves, Speed of Colts and
Habit of ShyinE.
From Our Animal Friends.

from Our Animal trlt nus.
Another animal which, when in a state of
rature, lives in droves is the horse. 1t is
almost as defenseless as the sheep, and
when herd of wild horses is attacked by
wolves there is no escape but in flight. In
its wild state the horses natural habitat is
on the open plains, not in mountainous re-
gions but on the steppes of Asia, and when
attacked by wolves its only safety lies i'll
its superior speed. If the young foal were
not as swift as its parents it would fall an
easy prey 10 the pursuer, and so, within a
few generations. the wild horse might be
utterly destroyed by its enemies. The cur
ious thing is that the foal is quite as swift
as its parents. When one looks at it, even
in its dOmesticated condition, ii seems to be
all legs. and one is surprised to see how
easily the slight body is borne along on
those long legs beside the mother even
when she is running at her swiftest rate.
In that fact lies the safety Of the wild horse
from destruction. and the thousands of gen
erations in which that useful animal has
been domesticated have brought no change
In the peculiar conformation of the foaIs
limbs, though il IS no longer needed for its
original purpose.
Another curious thing Is that one of the
faults of the horse of which we are
apt TO complain. we mean the habit

GREAT CLEAN UP.

Millions of Dust in Sight.

The big pack trains made several trips
from Prof. Lippey's claim on Eldorado,
which produced two tons of gold dust.
The largest nuggets yet found in the
Klondike were discovered during the clean
up. One from claim below Bonanza
weighed sixty and one-half ounces and
was valued at 1858. A still larger one, but
impregnated with quartz, was found on
Gold Hill. 1t weighed one hundred and
six ounces and is valued at 81, S04.

A DISTINCTION
Between Territory Which is Part
of the u. 6. and Thst Winch Is
Held by the U. S.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The In
sular Commission has prepared an ex-
haustive opinion by which they hold
that the islands in possession of the
Un-..ed States as a result of the war
with Spain are not part of the terri
tory of the United States. Copies or
this opinion have been furnished to
the secretary of war and the attorney
general, and it is surmised that the at
torney general will shortly prepare an
official opinion upon this important
question. The commission held that
that there is a radical difference be-
tween territory, part of the United
States, and territory in the possession
of the United States.
1t has been generally conceded, they
say, that we can do as we please with
the islands which we obtained from
Spain; that we can sell them, give
them away or turn them over to their
inhabitants who live upon them for the
establishment of Independent govern
ment. If this general admission Is
true, then they affirm the islands can
not be part of the territory of the I'm
tied States because no part OF the I'm
tied States can be alienated. The
United States can neither sell nor
ALLEVIATE any portion of its territory,
nor can any portion of the territory
ALLEVIATE itself from the United States.
This was we'll settled by the war OF
secession. The supreme court has held
that military occupation does not ex-
tend the boundaries of the United
States, and the commission claim that
the Spanish cession merely confirmed
our military occupation.

AIR POW Err
To be Given a Much Larger Place in
the Street Transportation of New
York.

NEW YORK, July S.-The Evening
Post says:
This morning a statement was au-
thOrized that a general consolidation
of the various air power interests is in
contemplation and that the American
Air Power Company of this city will
practically absorb all the other con-
Germs.
The w. C. Whitney syndicate has just
secured entire control of the American
Air Power Company. Upon the report
of President Vreeland, of the Metropol-
itan Railroad Company, in regard TO
the efficiency of the air power cars on
the Twenty-third street line which have
been in operation during the last four
months, it has been decided to equip
Immediately all the downtown cross
town lines with air as motive power,
and also the belt lines where it is i'm
possible to install a conduit for an I'M
derground circuit. The Whitney syn
dicate which controls the North and
West Side Chicago lines, is having
plans prepared and contracts drawn TO
equip the lines at present operated by
cable in Chicago with the Hoadley-
knight compressed air systems
The American Air Power Company,
it is said, has secured also from the
international Power Company, of Prov
idence, the right to use the latter S
plant in the manufacture of automo-
biles
