THE future danger OF the republic is not
from foreign foes, as during the first two

a later period of our history, but with the

unrest that follow as the night the day,
with the rapid Increase In every field of en-

and with population pressing upon the
means of support-who can doubt that from
all these may spring dangers to society. to
the state. unknown to the first century OF
our history?

soon close. All that has been wrought out
by its thought, its sacrifice. it's endeavor,
will pass to the domain of history. Stand

FIRE CAUSES HEAVY LOSS.
Great Lumber Yards In Ashland, Wis.
Are Burned - Damage Esti-
mated at $1,OOO,OOO.

Ashland, Wis, Aug Ga million
dollars Is the loss occasioned by Sat-
urday afternoons fire. The property
destroyed includes about 2,O00,00 feet

il had leaped over to the Keystone
docks and big fires started simultane-
ously on the east and west Keystone
tramways and on the lime, salt and
cement dock. Efforts were made to
save the Keystone and Barker g. Stew
art mills. Four hundred pounds of dy-
Mantle were used on the West Key
stone tramway, blowing up the lum-
Der. and several hundred men worked
like beavers throwing the lumber piles
in the bay. Fortunately the wind
was partially off shore. otherwise both
mills would have gone up in smoke
and probably part of the city of Ash
land. The lumber on the Barker &
Stewart dock belonged to the Hines

w. II. Gilbert, of Ashland. All of the
Keystone Lumber company's output
was sold to the Hines Lumber COM

chandise was in the warehouse where

Chang Yen Hoon, the Chinese states
man the reports of whose execution by
order of the Empress dowager have Just
been confirmed, was well known to one
Honolulu man, Clinton j. Hutchins, the
Pacific Mutual manager. Hutchins
says that the unfortunate man was one
of the most learned and advanced of his
race, being an enlightened statesman
and man whose influence was for
progress.

porter of the reform party. 1t was
Chang who secured for K'ang Yu Wei
his famous interview with the Emperor
Kwang Hsu, and Chang also secured
for Kang his appointment as secretary
of the Board of Revenue at Peking"
Chang was the Chinese minister TO
Washington during the first term of
President Cleveland He was in Picking
when the emperor was dethroned, and
was arrested. But for the intervention
of the British and American ministers
he would have been beheaded at that
time. His life was spared, but he was
banished ia. Chinese Turkestan. Now
taking advantage of the recent up
heaval, the empress dowager, who evil
IDENTIFY did not forget the exile, ordered
his head cut off and he is one more
reformer victim. Hoon was Ga years

SHAKESPEARE.

The Shakespeare Festival this year at
Stratford- on-Avon was celebrated by a
large number of visitors and by the
principal residents of the town. After
banquet at the town hall the party
proceeded to Trinity church, where,
after an address by the vicar, many
wreaths and garlands were placed on
Shakespeare grave. Miss Marie Cor
ELI, who for the past two years has
been a resident of Stratford, laid upon
the grave a wreath gathered from
Dantes garden in Italy. The town was
gay with flags and bunting, and the
grammar school which the board at
tended was profusely decorated. At a
meeting of the Memorial Association
several gifts were announced, including
seven valuable paintings by old masters
for the gallery. The London Standard
mentions the interesting fact that
among the literary pilgrims was del
egation from the Shakespeare Club of
the University of North Dakota, who
had come almost six thousand miles to
pay their tribute of homage to the IL
lustrious poet.

1t is not unlikely that some of the
curious alterations in the distribution
Of forest trees which biologists have
recognized may have been due to the
development in former ages of the
gypsy moth or other like destructive
species of insect. Thus in the early
Miocent Tertiary Europe was tenanted
by a host of species closely akin to
those that now form our admirable
American broad-leaved forests. The
magnolias, the gums and the tulip
trees were then as well developed in
Europe as they are in this country
Suddenly all these species disappeared
from the Old World. There is no rea-
son to believe that the change was due
to an alteration in climate. There are
many evidences indeed that such was
not the case. 1t is a very reasonable
conjecture that that alteration was
brought about by the invasion of an
insect enemy which may have been
the ancestor of the gypsy moth.--Pro-
fessor N. S. Shaler, in The Forester.

FLOWERS in ENGLAND.
The Average Enslishwoman Is Not
Artistic.

Tbs Average Englishwoman Is Not
Artistic.
This is without doubt the month of
flowers in England and this year they
seem more abundant than ever. The
observer knows this by the flowers he
sees for sale in the shops and streets.
Those who are fortunate enough to
possess gardens Of their own and al
ways have prOfusion of flowers will
scarcely notice the more than usually
gorgeous display in the florists and
the baskets of the flower girls. But,
notwithstanding the fact that flowers
are nov almost universally in vogue
for decoration and that of late years
people have made great strides in the
direction of the more skillful arrange
ment and blending of colors, they have
yet great deal to learn.
The average Englishwoman is not
artistic and she is apt to rely too much
upon the efforts of her florist to
achieve anything at all striking or
perfectly satisfactory in the way of
decoration. The florist is, as O. rule,
a painstaking person, possessed of a
few good decorative schemes, but ori-
ginality seldom, if ever. Wherever
you go in London you see the same
arrangements" and can almost tell
at a glance to which of the various es-
Establishments in Bond street or Regent
street the hostess has handed over the
floral dressing of her dinner table or
ballroom. In Japan, where the ar
ranging of flowers is undertaken in the
most serious manner and considered an
indispensable branch of art they could
teach westerners many things in the
direction Of greater simplicity and OBJ
servation of natures methods. Flow
er arrangement is taught there Just as
cookery is in England and some won
derful and beautiful books are pub
lished on the subjects, illustrated by a
famous japanese artist, setting forth
the different methods, the appropriate
kind OF vase for each arrangement be-
ing specified. This book is published
in England and is revelation of the
possibilities of flowers as decorative

The Galveston disaster ought to
serve as warning that the sand ISL
ands fringing our gulf coast, from
Florida to the Rio Grande, are not
safe in their present condition for hui
man habitation, and in great and con-
stant danger from the violent hurri-
canes which arise, from time to time,
in the West Indies. Some better pro-
lection must be assured before these
islands can be settled without great
risk of life. What that protection
should be it will be for the engineers
to say, whether breakwaters, raising
the grade OF the islands, or whether
some other better means of protection
can be found. There have been so
many disasters, too great a loss of life
and property, to continue the risk,
as we have done for years.-New Or
