A FROGS LIFE.

Mr. Seton Thompson has remarked
that the end of the life Of evecy wild
animal is a tragedy. The statement is
rot true, but maybe he was thinking
about frogs. OF the batra chians the as
sertion is literally correct. No man
ever saw the cadaver of a bullfrog
that had died natural death. Indeed,
in some parts of the country they are
supposed, barring accident, to be i'm
mortal.
There have been instances Of bull
frogs discovered in old wells which
contained only a yard Or two Of water.
There was nothing in the wells to
harm them, SO they lived on year after
year, sometimes q pair Of them with
successive progenies, but most often a
solitary and bumpy male hermit, who
had sought out the retreat and enjoy
ed it in single peace.

The Last Of it's Race.

A strange bird recently found in Brit.
ish Guiana, South America, is the only
vouched for survivor of the hitherto
supposed extinct race. Several of them
are known among the fossil races, anG
are called by natural historians, opis-
hocOmus-cristatus.
The young hoatzins, as this species is
called, have, when hatched, four we'll
developed legs, the front pair being
somewhat of a reptilian character, with
strong claws. They possess the ability
TO leave the nest as soon as hatcned
and by using all four legs, climb over
branches, tWigs, and tree trunks. Thi:
biTd has also the power, even whi!c
Young, to swim, dive and remain for {

1.-The enemy in considerable strength
opposed Buffers and Pole. .Carew's ad-
vance. He brought three ''Long Toms"
and many other guns and pom poms
(quick-firing guns) into action. The
firing, until dark, was hot aud persist

:CHlNA and AMERICA.

BY Lord Charles Beresford.

The first necessity in China is law
and order, China must be helped to put
down her rebellions, to reform her in
stitutions and to enforce justice. 1t
is perhaps the most difficult problem
that the civilized nations have ever
had to face, but it must be done.
China has an effete and feeble gov
ernment. 1t has no army or police
force to prevent the continual riots and
disturbances that menace both human
life and commerce.
1t is fortunate that reform in China
will not be obstructed by hereditary
rights, feudal systems or vested rights,
as it was in Japan.
The four great countries trading with
China, to whom the open door is i'm
peratively necessary, are England,
America, Germany and Japan. This
unity of commercial interests should
preserve friendly relations between
these countries. It should create not
an alliance, but common understand
ing and spirit of cooperation.
We want China to help herself. She
must be put in a position to prevent
rebellions and piracy, to guard ports
and highways and to protect life and
property.
We have right to demand security
as traders. It is not a question of mil
itarism. Fleets and armies in these
modern days are not used to settle diff
ferences between monarchs, but to pro-
tect commerce. The budget for de-
fense is only the rate of insurance up
on our trade.
None of us want any more acres.
The great nations of the future will
be based on trade and not on territory
y e do not want to send fleets and ar
mics to China, but merely to assist her
to establish a n efficient government OF
her own.
Trade bewteen China and other ma
tions has only begun. In 1888 Il
amounted to about $4,000, ,000-Eng
land owning IS per cent. of it and
America Is per cent.
But America has a great advantage
over any European nation in being so
much nearer. The Pacific Ocean must
be the American ocean in the future.
In building up a Chinese trade we
need have no fear of the Chinese start
ing manufactures of their own and un-
derseling us in the markets of the
world. Even if China were smothered
in cotton mills it would not destroy
American and English trade, because
the Chinese manufacturer does not &c
cumulate surplus capital. He does not
lay by single penny for repairs Or inn
provements. He takes every available
asset and makes a dividend out Of it.
AS a result his one mill soon comes
| RI q st1r6Stil1
America and England have every
reason to cooperate in this grand
work of promoting peace and com
merce in China. We are. Of the sann
blood, with the same laws, literature
ideas and religion. We. have a big,
honest idea of What should be done in
matters Of trade and g chivalrous, no.
lie sentiment toward weaker nations.
l hope our intimacy will be cenlented
into an everlasting friendship, foI
nothing could do more to advance not
only the interests of commerce but Of
humanity and Christianity. 1t will
make for that greatest Of all interests
the peace Of the world.

Herman, the nine year old son of the
veteran Grand Trunk checker, III. II.
Brockmann, fell from a tree on Cumber-
land street Wednesday afternoon and
broke his left shoulder and collar bone.
The lad had climbed a Balm of Gilead
tree after the buds, which are used for a
variety of purposes. He missed his foot
ing and fell through the branches to the
ground a distance of about twelve feet.
The shoulder and collar bones both being
broken made the fractures difficult to set
and 1t is impossible to tell whether or not
they will knit in such manner that the
boy will again have the free use of his
arm, His general health and his age are
in his favor.
