4 CATHEO ORAL

The minister's mysti, walls uprear
 In times rich hues against the sky; Fair sentinels that year by year Have watched slow centuries go by. Within such perfect calm doth reign As by no word may be exprest; For, though without men war with pain. Here weary souls awhile may rest; And, resting, gather strength anew Mid dim memorials of the past; The faith our fathers held holds true Ger diverse ways loves light to cast.

LAST OF CHINA.

1t seems more than probable that the beginning of the end of the Chinese em pire is at hand, If, indeed, if did not begir with the Japanese war. For brief time just after that national calamity, ray of hope appeared on the horizon for the Ce- Iestial empire, but 1t soon faded from sight. When the young king decided tc give every opportunity for the injection Of Western ideas and the introduction of Western civilization, it seemed possible al least that China might be at the point of an awakening such as shook Japan from center to circumference quarter century ago. But the time had not come. His attempt only served to make his people more restless, and the empress-dowager made use of the opportunity to depose him.
 Since the empress-dowager again become absolute in China, she has secretly en couraged all of the old time secret soce ties which have resisted the encroach' ment of modern civilization. Chlei amongst these are the "Boxers," whose motto "China for the Chinese" has called forth an army, which in all probability would be irresistible were it not for the powers. The Boxers" have commenced a crusade on foreigners generally, burning their property and driving them from the confines of the country. They have, even in many instances, put missionaries to death.
 This is the excuse the powers - W hich have been looking upon China as band of hungry wolves upon flock of sheep have been awaiting that the division of the Fiowery kingdom might take place if China lasts until the end of the century 1t will only be the fear of the powers for each other that will save her.

Fixed For Her Photo.

Many refusal tO sit for picture has been given because of knowledge of advancing years and fading beauty. It remains for the Devonshire folk, however, to give a new point on "mak- ing up" for a sitting. $. Barring Gould's Book of the West" supplies the incident.
 The looks of Devonshire and Cornish lassles are proverbial. A complexion of peaches and cream, well proportioned body and well nodded features are the characteristics. West country women as they are called, cannot forget they were once comedy.
 A woman of 70 years was brought forward to be photographed by an am ateur. No words of address could in- duce her to speak until the operation was completed. Then she put her fin gers into her mouth. .-s.

Everyday Matters That Some People
 Seem Never to Notice.

 This is an example why some of the old men are pushed to the wall in the struggle for life and why 1t is not always the old practitioner who is the best" said the young man. For a man of apparently 70 to ask in the city of Washington such a question as that gentleman just addressed to me | Is little short of criminal and well ex- emplifies how woefully deficient some people are with reference to matters of common knowledge which ought to be in the possession of every schoolboy at the age of 10.
 There are certain wrinkles of met ropoltan life that some people seem never to grasp. The running leeway of the street cars, their termini, the streets through which they pass and the districts they tap, the running time between Washington and the principal cities of the railroads, thor ough knowledge of the environments of the city, the major questions of the mail service and thousand and one matters which, if not directly ac- quired by learning should be by ab- sorption, ought to be at the finger tips of every person who enjoys the priv ilege of metropolitan 1lfe."-Washing- | ton Star.

Not an Indian.

Mrs. H. S. Boal, a daughter of VII liam F. Cody Buffalo Bib, lives al a place in Wyoming which bears the strange name of B. x. Ranch, Slack Among the curious questions put tt her by visitors are these:
 q suppose you have a large collec ton of Indian scalps?"
 Have you ever been scalped your self?
 Do you keep buffaloes as domestic pets?"
 Once, on the ranch, while she was entertaining a foreign stranger, hel father rode by, and she said:
 "There goes Colonel Cody now"
 The man looked at the horseman long and anxiously.
 Are you sure about itr'

Battery Place.

Battery place is the traditional spot where, on May 6, 1926, the Indian own CTS of Manhattan bartered 1t to the Dutch for baubles worth 60 guilders.
 As early as 1893, there being war with the French, "a platform upon the outmost point of rocks under the fort was designated as suitable place for a battery, and the council was called upon by Governor Fletcher to furnish "S6 cords of stockades, 12 feet ir length, for the purpose of building same"
 In 1735 q really imposing battery with a no less imposing title, '"The George Augustus Royal battery" was erected by Governor Cosby. and "The Battery" has remained on our city map ever since, associated though 1t has been with the pleasures of peace to q much greater extent than with the ar1 or the practice of warfare.-New York Sun

A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.
The Case of . Man Who Swallowed
 Hia suspendeHs.

h1o SubPehoGHSs
 A case recorded in the Boston Med Ical and Surgical Journal by Dr. M. H. Richardson Is remarkable exam ple of the extraordinary feats In swal- lowing foreign bodies sometimes per formed by men.
 A man, aged % years, was admitted to the hospital. He said that two weeks previously, while he was in Respondent state, he had C: leavored to swallow his suspenders and had sue ceeded in getting down certain DOT tions, but how much he had swallowed he could not tell. He did not complain of pain, but rather of discomfort un- der the breast while eating. The food at times passed easily into the stom- ach. At other times it was regurgitat- ed immediately. Nothing could be seen in the throat. With probe some ob- struction was felt
 A skagram showed a suspender buckle at the middle of the chest and possibly another higher up. As the chief danger in esophageal impaction is from alteration into the great ves- sels, especially when the foreign body has sharp edges, and as fatal erosion usually takes place in two weeks or less, 1t was concluded that If there was any erosion 1t was Sufficiently ad- vanced to make even the most careful manipulation dangerous. The problem was how to perform extraction with out producing fatal hemorrhage.
 The throat was opened, and with a pair of forceps, string attached to a brass ring and then half suspender with two buckles and finally third buckle were removed. A probang was passed into the stomach without meet ing with further obstruction.
 The wound was closed with silk sutures, and recovery ensued.

Don't Borrow.

Only the other day a Boston firm of sharks charged q man $5 for making out the mortgage on a loan of $l0 and then charged him interest. A Lowell shark recently loaned man $20 and charged him $3 for making out the mortgage. and every month he causes the man to sign new mortgage and charges him $3 each time, besides the regular rate of interest, thus bringing the interest up to $lOO per cent per annum. The several mortgages are not recorded since the first one, and every $3 the borrower pays goes into the lenders pocket.-Boston Traveller.

SUNDAY SOCIAL.
THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The efforts of the chamber of commerce committee and fire department to ge. up a first-class Fourth of July p celebration should receive from the community the support such an undertaking deserves. Everywhere in the United States it is re- garded as a patriotic duty to properly ob- serve the nations birthday and Skagway should let it be known that they are pat rioto Americans. M
 Then, were it known that a flrst-class program had been arranged for that day in Skagway with a good list of field sports and good prizes hung out for the victors' there would be attracted to our city many people from Bennett and other nearby in terior points. It is a ususl thing that Americans living near the Canadian line spend the Queens birthday under the St. George cross. while the Canadians recip' rocate bv coming over the line to hear the eagle scream on Independence day. On the zAth of last month hundreds of Skag' wayans crossed the summit of White Pass and yied with the Britshers in paying homage to their good queen. No doubt, ii our citizens arrange a creditable celebra- tion of the Fourth of July, the Bennettites and perhaps many from towns farther away, will reciprocate by patronizlng the excursion that will be run to Skagway or that occasion. Such things promote good feeling, and leave favorable impress or business as well.

This ivory is placed in large ware houses from which 1t is either sold at once or else held therein for a better market The pan In charge of these warehouses MS very interesting character an expert in ivory. He told me many curious things about 1t and among others propounded tho following theory as an explanation of why ele- plants go mad and occasionally run Rmuck.
 "In the warehouse were a pair of magnificent tusks, measuring fully IA feet from tip to tip, which In life must have been carried by veritable Go liah among elephants. The expert in showing me these tusks pointed out the fact that while one was complete and fawless the other was broken of at the point and showed deep scratches and abrasions throughout it's length.
 "'Now,' said he, if you will look near the base you will find hole made by decay that had struck Into the nerves and given that elephant a toothache. And think what tooth ache of toothaches IA foot tooth must have held. In his effort to relieve this pain the elephant rubbed his tusk against rocks and trees and drove It into the earth, which mutilated 1t in the manner you see here. have ire quentl come across places where an elephant has ripped up great spaces in the forest and torn down the trees, and am positive that toothache was the cause of this frenzy.
 "An elephant in a circus going sud denly mad and killing his keeper Is not an uncommon thing, but I'll wager that in nine cases out of ten if they would properly investigate the matter they would find that the brute's sudden frenzy sprung from so ordinary cause as common, everyday toothache.'
