will ever be associated with great
measure which, right or wrong, made
for him an international reputation.
Good politicians say his career IS at
an end.
: Perhaps no man whose name Is so
familiar to the American voter as Is
that of Mr.. Mills is so little known.
He came as a sort of free trade Nc
Kinley, and, as the present president
of the United States is known as the
APOSTLE of protection" so was Mr..
Mills known as the apostle OF free
trade"-save in this: That whereas
the hooks of biography published IN
European countries all contain the lie
and work Of William Mckinley, not
one contains the name and lifeWorK
OF Roger @. Mills. Perhaps Mr.. Mills
Is not to blame for this. He was con-
sistent and self-sacrifcing, but he had
not that singleness Of purpose that
makes presidents. Mr.. Mills might have
been president had the people believed
him as they believed the Ohio man
who now sits in the White house. But
thew did not. In these four words Is
the whole story told.
Politically dead, Roger @. Mills may
he described in this wise: He was born
sixty-six years ago in Salem, Todd
county, Kentucky. president McKtn-

he removed to Palestine, Texas, ana
studied law. In 1852 we find him at
Corsicana, which has since been his
home where in that year he began the
nractice of law. He was a Texan leg
islator in 1859. He was confederate
soldier-a colonel in the Tenth Texas
infantry. When peace was declared
ba returned to Corsicana and went
hack to the law. In 1872 Mr.. Mills was

not so important as is the age Of the
diver. At depth of $50 feet there was
not much inconvenience, but every
two or three feet lower makes a diff
ference. When diving at great depths
the men always have sense of full
ness in the head buzztng in the ears
and flashes of light before the eyes. On
coming up there is often bleeding from
the mouth, nose and ears. The patient
also referred to the condition known
to the men as bends Is, wrist
drop and foot drop. This usually lasts
from two hours to twenty-four hours,
when it completely passes off, unless
1t is an exceptionally bad attack. This
condition was ascribed by the patient
to the bands applied round the ankles
and wrists to make the diving sui
water-tight.

HE LOOKS DIFFERENT.

slatin Pasha has had experiences
such as fall to few. BY birth an Aus
trian. no made his first journey to the
snudan twenty years ago. He was
governor of Dara when Gordon was IN

a little later, when Gordon was COVER
nor-general of the Soudan. He had
RESPONSIBILITIES and perils by night and
day and bore them so braVely that he
was appointed encouragement OF
Darfur. The mahdi about this time
discovered his divine mission" and
thenceforth the life of Slatin Pasha
was one of conflicts, imprisonments,
escapes, crowned by the final triumph
of Kitchener's forces. His foes at one
time were they of his own household,
for when the mahdi took Ell Obeldr
Slatin Pashas men began to ascribe
his misfortunes to the fact that he was
a Christian. A nominal adoption oil

sult-a ruse of warfare. While Cor
don was besieged at Khartum, Slatin
Pasha had an interview with the nah.
di, to whom he made the oath of allie
glance. Moreover, he wrote to Cor
don asking him to surrender. These
things did not save him from being
thrown into prison and having Cor

Eccentric Tides,

Owing to the effects of shore-lines
and other influences which are more
or less obscure, 1t is very difficult to
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts of the
world. Interfering waves cause one. a.
day tides at Tahiti, and in some other
places, while on the other hand, In the
harbors back Of the Isle of Wight, ana
in the Tay in Scotland, there are three
tides day. The latter have recently
been ascrlbed to "overtides," produced
by the modification Of tidal waves rum
ming ashore and resembling the "over-
tones" Of musical sounds.

An Indian sherlock Holmes.

The traveller CharleVoix, who died in
1861, tells a story Of an Indian who
riyaled Sherlock Holmes" One day
a piece of meat was stolen from his
wigwam, and he started in pursuit Of
the thief. He had not proceeded far
before he met with some persons, Of
whom he inquired whether they had
seen a little old white man with short
gun, accompanied by small dog with
a short tail. Asked how he could thus
infinitely describe man whom he had
never seen, the Indian answered: "The
thief l know is a little man by his
having made pile Of stones to stand
upon in order to reach the yenison;
that he is an old man l know by his
short steps, which | have traced over
the leaves In the woods; and that he
is a white man know by his turning
out his toes when he walks, which an
Indian never does. His gun l know to
be short by the mark the muzzle made
in rubbing the bark off the tree on
which it leaned; that his dog is small
know by his tracks, and that he has
a short tail I discovered by the mark
It made in the dust where he was sit
ting at the time his master was taking
down the meat"
