THE BURNING OF SMOKY ROW.


The destruction Of GOOdland's
Smoky Row" by frebugs Wednesday
morning VIII certainly not IN any way
prove a benefit to the town just as
much liquor viii be sold next week as
last aud just as much gambling in
dulged in
While it may be said that the inten-
ton was only to wipe out the saloons,
only by hard work and favorable con-
ditiOns Of the elements was other pOr-
tions Of the city saved from destTuc-
ton.
The selling Of intoxicating liquor
has long ago ceased to be looked upon
by the general public as an unlawful
pursuit, although the prohibition law
still remains upon the statute books Of
the state, and it is just as well
when liquor is sure to be sold,
that the traffic should be carried on
in places recognized as saloons
and which pay some tribute to
the city, as to have the beverage dis
pensed under the guise Of other bust
ness and no benefit be derived by the
city.
Anyway the incendiary should be as
diligently sought for as If fire had
been started in any other portion Of
the town, the entire destruction Of
which was certainly not averted by the
mere wish Of the frebug.

square miles It's circuit is 1900 miles,
or over one-hsif the circumference Of
the globe. it comprises One-third Of
Asia and one-tenth Of the whole earth.
1t is inhabited almost exclusively by
Chinese. The foreigners are not yet
numerous. They are so few that the
hostility to them reminds Us Of the
Biblical prophecy that s'one shall chase
thousand and two put ten thousand

ousIy estimated to be from 134S,87O to
100000 square miles or nearly the

plain extends from the great wall
north Of Pekin to the junction Of the
Yangtse Kiang river with the Poyang

three provinces in which the boxer re-
volution now exists. Chill contains
nearly 100000 people. Pekin, the
seat Of government for the empire, is
supposed to contain from 100000 to
100000. Shantung has a population
of about 100000. Shansi has q pop
ulation of about 100000. Hence the
direct effects of the boxer revolution
concern thus far about 100000.
China's antiquity is a part of its cOlOs-
sal proportions, however the country
may be viewed-chronolog histo-
rioaIIy, politically, religiOusly, etc. Ma
tive writer's assign to their country
myraids of years. It's NEUROLOGICAL
history antedates 1852 B. c.
It's legendary history covers from
1852 to 22O5 B. G. Its ancient history
extends from 22O5 B. G. to 221 A. D. Its
mediaevaI history covers from 221 to
1863 A. D. The last native dynasty
was the Ming, and it extended from
1868 to 1914. The civilized nations of
the globe have the most formidable
task Of all time, if they undertake to
subdue China by force or by religion
or BY western civilization, or by all
eombined.-LesIie' Weekly.

IF NOT AN IsIPERATOR, WHAT


Cuba is still being run as an Ameri-
can satrapy. The car Of Russia is not
more absolute in Siberia than McKin-
ley is in Porto Rico. He Is the autOcrat
Of the Philippines in so far as his war
Of conquest has been successful.
No attribute Of imperial power is
wanting. He has dispensed with con-
gress and is going it alone. Practically
nothing but the absence Of a crown
differentiates him from any other
monarch now reigning.
Mr.. Mckinley protests against the
charge Of Imperialism in vain. He is
exercising imperial functions and if
that does not make him an imperatOr,
what does it make him?

Could Not he Fooled.

Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis, the
talented niece of United States Attor-
ney General Griggs, and one of the
latest versifiers of the Rubaiyat, has
a penchant for scientific pursuits, and
takes great pleasure in mountain
climbing, forest searching and geolo-
giving. says the Philadelphia Post.
Last summer, while rusticating at
Lake George, she went walking with
party of friends, chiefly college men
and women, and came across some OF
the beautiful minerals which abound
in that district. They picked out a
number of specimens which they car
ried back to the hotel. Here they ex-
hibited their treasure-trove to the
other guests, more especially a piece
of rose quartz, in which were many
flakes of plumbago. Miss Curtis, after
explaining, left the veranda, giving
the quartz to benevolent looking,
specialized old lady. She had scarcely
departed when the latter, who had
been scratching the specimen with her
scissors, broke out: THAT girl Is
either fooling us or else she is crazy.
Plumbago, indeed! 1t is nothing but
an old stone with some black pencil
lead in it!'

and blood could contain our love?
No; we belong to each other for al
ways, and Here comes our lunch.
and you will have to eat It."
And he did eat it, cheered by the
sunshine Of her eyes and the music
of her voice. And after lunch they
sat up in one of the balconies and
watched the boats go down the grimy
but sunlit bosom Of Mother Thames,
for the hotel looked out upon the river.
And Alan smoked, and they made
plans for the future. Where they
would 60, and what they would do,
and what they would see, together, to-
gether, together always. And they
talked of the folly Of married men and
women who go their separate ways.
not recognizing the divinely blessed
link between husband and wife. And
when they rose to go they knew that
they were nearer to each other than
they had ever been before. 1t had
been golden afternoon, although now
the sun had gone from the river. and
the mist was rising a little. Still, as
Joyce said, mo mist can blot the sun
out forever" She meant it as an alle-
cory, and as an allegory Alan under
stood it.
And then they drove home again to-
gether, and that evening Alan spent
quietly, doing little work which was
necessary, seeing that he had spent
good many hours doing nothing but
making love to Joyce. And on the
morrow he had forgotten the strange
turn that the woman had given him.
Nothing happened during the next
fortnight. which went all too slowly
for him, until his wedding day. On
the contrary, each day his heart be-
came lighter and he looked forward
each day to that which would see the
contamination of his dearest desires.
And so the wedding day came, and
Alan forgot everything but that the
sweetest woman in the world was go
ing to belong to him from that day
forward forevermore. His responses
rang out clear and fluent, as did hers.
He forgot Hutchinson and Hutchin-
sons enigmatic prophecy-that there
might be strange wedding guest
though he could not have known that
Hutchinson had changed his mind, and
that there would be no strange we'd
ding guest that day.
He forgot everything, save that the
time was coming nearer and nearer
when the carriage door would be closed
behind him and Joyce, and he would
whisk her off, his own dear bride. And
it is no exaggeration to say that the
sun had never shone on two happier
people than Alan and Joyce Macken-
zie.

Born Among tho Bullruslles.

There is variety Of grebe (colym-
bus minor) which matches it's young on
a regular raft. It's nest is a. mass Of
strong stems of aquatic plants closely
fastened together. These plants con-
tain considerable quantity of air in
their cells and set free gases in the
process of decaying. The air and the
gases imprisoned in the plant make
the nest lighter than water. The bird
usually sits quietly on its eggs, but If
any intruder approaches or any dan
ger is feared the mother plunges one
foot in the water, and. using it as a
paddle, transports her floating nest
to distance often dragging along with
it a sheet of water plants. A natur-
alist who frequently watched this re-
markable removal says: '"The whole
structure looks like a little floating is

curious, if less we'll known, echoes in
churches. In a Sussex church there
is said to be one of the most remark
able ever known, while in Hertford-
shire church the tick of a watch may
be heard from one end of the building
to the other. 1t is also stated that the

distinctness from the great western
door to the cornice behind the altar
a distance of about $50 feet.
