Every active and trusted worker in the

There is no question but what the

A HIGH PRICED PIANO.
one That Was Made for a Famous
Belgian Artist at a Cost
of SOS, 1000.

A wonderful piano has been made by
Jan Van Beers, the Belgian artist,
whose portraits of beautiful women are
famous. The painter owns one OF the
most remarkable houses in Paris and
has given years to the study of interior
decoration, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. He admits that
the exquisite instrument which he is
going 10 exhibit at the exposition next
summer is probably the most beauti-
full piano of ancient or modern times.
OF course, only the she'll or case is his
work; whose make. the instrument
shall be will be determined by the pur-
chaser. The body of the piano is of
natural wood, tinted green; the legs,
garlands, Cupids and all the ornamental
tions are of bronze, gilded and chiseled
by the .ablest sculptor of Louis Quinze
bronzes in Paris. The fine sketches
which appear on the sides and on the
front of the piano are paintings by the
artist himself and represent the four
seasons, and minuet danced in the
park in the days of Louis XIV, all after
the manner of Vatican.
The designer has tried as far as pos
sible to convert those parts of the piano
which are ordinarily ungraceful and
awkward into something decorative
and harmonious. The pedals, which
generally represent Tyre, are replaced
by the owners initials. One bronze
Cupid, at the touch of spring, offers
his violoncello as a support for the cover
when open. This cover is lined with
small plaques of ivory, each surround
ed by Louis Quinze frame of bronze,
where some day distinguished must
clans will write their names, using for
this purpose the sheath and arrow of
Cupid at the left, which have been in
geniously converted into inkstand and
pen. The music, resting on small
frame of bronze, which glides forward
upon spring, is lighted by two delicate
electric flowers, and the musician is
thus left in an agreeable half-light.
The total cost of the piano will not be
less than $4,000.

DAILY FRESHETs.
Regularity of Rising and Falling of
the Rivers and Streams in
Alaska

To most people who live in the tenn
perate zones, the annual freshets oc-
casioned by the melting of the winter
SHOWS and by the unusually heavy rains
of spring are matter of familiar OBJ
servation. Under higher latitude and
in the neighborhod of glaciers, other
phenomena are to be studied. An Eng
lish traveller in Alaska has the follow
ing to report about the rivers of that
country, says Youths Companion:
The Takheena, like most streams of
glacial origin, was subject to daily
rise and fall. The distance of It's
sources caused the water to increase
in volume and in swiftness from noon
to midnight, after which it continued
to decrease from midnight TO noon.
The daily rise measured from six to
ten inches, according to the heat of
the weather; the daily fall measured
from five to eight inches during the
time the fine weather lasted.
After few days of cloudy, rainy
weather, found the river falling from
day to day about as fast as it had risen
during the. fine weather.
It is worthy of remark that during
fine weather I invariably found the
wind during the day time in the Chilcat
valley blowing up from the sea. It
began in the forenoon with a gentle
breeze, which gradually increased to
smart gale, that died quite away by
sunset. During the night there was
either no wind, or else it blew in the
contrary direction. This regular move
ment OF the atmosphere no doubt has
much to do with producing the regular
daily rise and fall of the river.

LAZINESS OF KAFFIRS.
Natives Employed I'm Mines VIII
Not Work Unless Closely
Watched.

r. Ruoff, who left the Transvaal
last May for a tour of Europe and
America, in regard to labor conditions
In the Boer country, lately said to
reporter for the Detroit Tribune:
Zone of the miners in the copper
country will turn out as much work
rs five of our men. We have to en-
ploy Kafir labor. Kafirs are notori-
ously lazy, and they require constant
supervision or they will quit work al
together. With every five Kafirs one
white man is employed. One. hole
drilled with hand drill is considered
q days stint for Kaffir. Although
cur employees do not get as much pay
individually as the miners hereabouts,
yet labor costs us much more, because
one of the copper country miners will
do as much work as five Kaffirs.
''In Dom Paui's domain the natives
are restricted by stringent laws.
When a native is employed in the
Transvaal he is given a pass upon his
arrival, and he is legally compelled to
work for specified length of time.
If he deserts his employer he is ar
rested. When native is seen on the
streets or highways any white man
has a right to demand an inspection
of his pass IF he does not produce
It, or there is ground for believing
that he has not obtained permission
from the employer to leave his work,
he is taken into custody"
