AT various times during the past six
months reports have reached Seattle,
Wash, of the discovery of placer
gold field in Lower California. 1t was
reported to be situated 40 or so miles
south of Camp Companis and was said
to be of fabulous richness. some doubt
has existed regarding the authenticity
Of this report, and as a consequence
no attempt has been made by any con-
siderable number of minens to occupy
the field.
Early last week there arf ived in the
city three prospectors--Mart tin Hullen,
B. &. Gcddin and James Cr;IV ford, who
give substantial evidence that the re-

In battle it is not the number of
men who are disabled in the course OF
a days fight that tell uDon the morale
of troops, but it is the losses which
may be incurred within comparative
ly short time that tend to demoralize
and unnerve them. For example, d
corps of 10000 men may lose in day 5
fight O00-one-half its number
without being demoralized, but should
they lose one-fifth of their number
say from three to four thousand men
in the course of half an hour, their
morale would surely be destroyed. Tn,
British military operations, especially
their battle tactics, have been freely
and even virulently criticized by the
military experts of other European La
ns-especially the Germans. 1t is
not, however, at all assured that they
would not have suffered at first from
the indulgence in the same faulty
"shock" tactics by delivering front ii
attacks on intrenched troops.-Inter-

The Singhalese children are said t.

In the gay costumes of the stage we

the Woman's Home Companion. At

They are foreigners to their finger tips.

respectful language of our everyday

respectable and certainly very hard

There is no let-up on them, yet they
seem to enjoy their work and their

both, for they are inspired by a love
for the art which they serve ZealOusly,
though humbly. l have read SANDER

nation of the imagination. There is
really no vice about the operations
of this unfortunate victim of an OBJ
scure disease. She merely has a pas
sion for ordering things she doesn't
want and fixing matters so that they
cannot possibly be delivered Early in
the week well-known Nicollet ave-
nue. firm received a call from a we'll
dressed woman, who said she lived III
st. Paul. She particularly desired to
secure for her four nieces a quartet
of silk parasols with ornate jeweled
handles, which the firm happened to
have on hand The customer INDUCED
in well-bred ecstacies over the beauty
of the parasols and asked that they be
delivered to her temporary address in
St. Paul. She was not sure that she
would be there on the following day,
however, and would the firm be kind
enough to telephone 10S Dale for final
instructions before sending the goods
Certainly the firm would-the firm
would be too delighted. Four jewel
hilted parasols listed at 500 make a
pretty good mornings work for one
salesman, and the obliging young man
was so ready to meet the wishes of his
customer that, if necessary, he would
have carried the goods to st. Paul him
self. Unfortunately, when 10S Dale
responded to the telephone call on the
following morning, the story of the
parasols was received with derision;
but the lady who answered the phone
said, with some ascerbity, that she
had within a few days been accused
of buying all sorts Of things in all
sorts of places through the medium of
some mysterious woman who had CIV

GARNER PIGEONS.
Speculation ~ to Whether They Arr
Gifted with y Sixth Sense.

Speculation - to Whether They Are
Gifted with = Sixth sense.
! There has been much speculation as
to the nature Of the faculty which car
rier pigeons possess Of finding their
way back to places from which they
have been far removed. The mystery
may never be fully explained and
scientific men differ one from another
in their views on the question. The
gift possessed by carrier pigeons is
evidently identical in part with that
of migratory birds. 1t may be called
the faculty of orientation, or, in other
words, the ability to discern the di-
iection in which familiar place lies
taken away to another place. But there
is difference between carrier pigeons
and migratory birds in the exercise
of their gift, for the migratory bird
point and his landing place and he
may use his eyes in his outward jour-
ney to help keep the orientation in
view when he returns again to the
neighborhood Of his start. The pigeon
has no such advantage, for he is US
ually carried in baggage car. He is
trained for short distances at first I'M
til he can find his bearings even when
$50 to 300 miles from his home. After
this preliminary training the bird is
often transported a distance of 600
miles or more and during the journey
lie occupies a closed basket in bag
gage car. On arriving at his destina-
ton he may be detained there for
some time, but when finally freed he
is able to make the return journey
with little deviation from the itinerary
followed on the outward journey,
though he did not see rod OF the
country as he was being taken from
home. Mr.. E. De Cyon, who has been
writing on the flight OF carrier pigeons
in Revue Scientifque, says 1t is GER
tain that with all our five senses it
would not be possible for us to achieve
what the pigeon accomplishes. We
must therefore explain the pigeons
feat either by adopting the hypothesis
that a sixth sense is developed in the
pigeon and migratory birds, or we
must look for some little understood
external stimulus that is capabls OF
affecting in the bird the nerve extrem-
tiles of the organs Of sense with which
we are familiar. Most naturalists have
adopted the view that carrier pigeons
have a special faculty which we do not
possess Mr.. De Cyon regards the fac
lllty of orientation in these birds and
in some other animals as a complex
phenomenon and in his opinion, the
feats of the carrier pigeons are largely
the result of the acute sensitiveness Of
his nervous system to impressions
transmitted through the retina and
nasal mucous membranes. He adds
that extreme development Of the sense
of location and of the cerebral organs
in which the nerves center may help
considerably to perfect this remark
able faculty.-New York Sun.

TEXAS STORM SWEPT.

On last Saturday, the Sth, a viciou,
storm struck Galveston as centre anc
played havoc with a hundred miles O
Texas coast.
Galveston, located on an island and
a city of 10000 people, suffered the loss
of 5000 of her citizens and millions OF
property. The tidal wave swept over
the city and swept away well nigh
everything before it, Eight ocean
steamers persisted in the harbor and
leglons of smaller craft. Great dam
age was done to numbers of other
towns and farmers suffered fearful
losses. 1t is difficult even now to Is
innate the loss TO human life or prop
erty.
The Governor of .the State and the
mayor of Galveston unite i'm asking for
outside aid, and already strong, full.
flow of the charity stream is going that
way.
The Government was first to respond
with rations and tents, and all sections
of common country will take pleasure

Those who are well-infOrmed. pOliti-

That is why the accommodating evidence
that the bulk of the gold Democratic

Stevenson this year is so disturbing To
the Mckinley managers. They know
that the gold Democrats have it in
their power to elect the Democratic
ticket Until within the past week,
the Republicans have denied that Col.
Bryan would get the support of the
gold Democrats Of prominence, but
