One of the officers who was
with the North Dakota regiment
in the Philippines recently ex-
planned why his sympathy was
with England in the South
African matter. He said:
'When the American forces
were preparing to attack Manila
our regiment was stationed
where we had a good view of
the bay. There was consider
able doubt amongst the men as
to the outcome of the struggle.
We saw the French and German
fleets move off by themselves
and it was believed that they
we're hostile. For all we knew
to the contrary they We're going
to take a hand in the battle.
just at this time, when every
thing was looking black for our
side, the big English flag ship
the largest ship in the bay,
steamed up alongside Admiral
Dewey's fleet. She was
stripped for action and her
bands were playing columbia. ;"
1t put q different feeling into the
men and we had no further fear
of the result. My sympathy is
with Great Britain now because
see was our friend when we
needed one. Times Record.

the Beers are suppose to be small
and peacable people and OF course it
was the meanest thing in the world
for England to jump onto such a
little fellow as the Transvaal. Peo-
have becme croseyed from gazing up
en- very minute thing, we most look
upon a larger surface to enable US to
form correct opinion of the whole.
When the Beers migrated from
Cape Colony and settled in the
Transvaal. they placed themselves
under British protection. Now why
should they do this? Why should a
nice, honest, pious, religious, God
fearing people need to appeal to such
bri gand as Britain tor carnal aid?
Because and because only, they were
robbing the true owners of the soil OF
Their rightful heritage. But still it
was step in the right right direction.
The natives, the negro 8, could not
make proper use of the land and a
higher grade of civilization flowed in.
Still, the capabilities Of the Beers
were limited. farming and hunting
/ was the extent of their ambition, they
had no use for jewels and gold or at
least they did not know enough TO
make use OF them and as the treasures
Of the earth belong to whom they
can be valued, it was not right that
the world should ;:e deprived of its
own.
1t is claimed by tine advocates of
Boerdom that it is no persons bust
ness what there was in the 'rransvaal
| The Transvaal belonged to the Beers
and to no one else. This is incor-
| ect.
Ii tree beareth not fruit it is cut
down. If nation hath not leaven OF
progress within its soul, it must fall
before the mad, onward rush of that
all conquer1ng genius, civilization.
China was hermetically sealed
within herself, England opened her
ports to the commerce of the world.
Japan was asleep to all external in
fluence, the roar Of American guns
rolled the stone away from the door
of the Sepulchre, and the dead came
forth alive for evermore. The
American Indians have vanished be
fore the light of a brighter day. But
/ the Sioux and the Oj;buays, the
Creeks, the Seminoles and the Choc-
taws were not the original tenants Of
! American soil. Wave after wave of
life has flowed and ebbed across the
mountains, the prairies and through
the forest of our own tair land and
the ceaseless surge is rolling still.
The great African continent is the
last to receive the attention of the
adventurous white A handful of IL
literate, bigoted Beers cannot stop
the star of empire and hurl 1t from its
lofty course. Forty centuries looked
down upon the arms of France &,
the battle of the Pyramids. Millions
Of years have met in the trenches OF
the lranvaal. Bigotry, ignorance
superstition and fraud have arrayed
themselves against the inalienable
rights of man rnd just SO truly as the
hosts of darkness do vanish before
the rays of the rising sun, SO shall
mental degradation fall before the
powers of justice and the eternal
rights.

railway officials all over the country.

How to Pack Eggs for Long Keeping.


The yolk of the eggs spoils much
quicker than the white. For this
reason it is important that the volk
should be surrounded with layer
OF the white. If the egg is placed
on the side or large end the heavy
yolk will settle to the bottom and
come in contact with the she'll,
which admits the air. If it is plac-
ed on the small end 1t will always
have layer of white between it
and the shell. Eggs absorb odors
easily, therefore only odorless ma
terials should be used when packing
them. -Ladies' Home Journal.

THE HUES CT THE BIRDS.
A Scientific Explanation of the Color 81
the Fra,he,ed SOngsters.

scientific Explanation OF the Color ~
the F-athrred Songsters.
Does light have an influence in
changing the color of those parts OF
animals that arc exposed 10 II gencr-
alton after generation? Evidence
showing that it does has been
adduced. SAYS the London Opiician.
The question is wide-reaching, be.
cause, If it is to be answered in the
affirmative. acquired qualities must be
Unbeatable, and the great point about
which biologists lave wrangled for
years is settled. The action Of light
on coors in general is we'll known. 1t
is observed in many cases with birds;
at least SO Messrs. Meyer and Wig
ellsworth concluded from their study
of the birds of Co!ebes. They have
observed several facts that support
their conclusion. For instance, in the
case where the wing rests on the
body there is change OF color with
almost all birds OIL the interior face
Of the wing feathers where these come
in contact with the body when the
wing is folded, and between the color
of this face and that of the outside
Of the same feathers there is diff
ference that is often very marked.
The part not subject to the constant
action of the light is white in some
birds. while exposed parts are black.
With one species of paroquet the
wing feathers are blue.green on the
side that touches the body and black
on the other side; and it is the same
with others. Another class of in.
stances is observed when the tail
feathers are partly covered by the
feathers that protect them; the
former are paler at their bases, and
tend toward white. This is seen very
clearly with several birds that have
the exposed part black. The base of
all feathers, where they are protected,
is paler and less brilliant in tint
Light has an evident influence on the
augmentation of the plumage. The
first birds mentioned arc quite black
when seen from above. while from be.
low they appear white. Wherever
their feathers are exposed to the sun
they are black; where protected they
are white. With cage birds the oppo
site is often seen: the plumage be.
comes dark when they are kept in the
shade and is more brightly colored
when they are exposed to light.

REClAlMINC ARID LANDS.
Likely to BE the Next Great Internal In
proveucnt of the United States.

Likely to BE the Next Great Internal I'm
provemcnt of the United States.
A discussion respecting the re.
claiming of arid lands of the United
States was taken M by the CONNER
cial club at it's banquet Saturday
night. says the Chicago Record. Prob.
ably no greater physical and eco.
nomic problem is before the people
of the United States at this time,
and there probably is no other prob.
/ lem which will bring about such far
reaching and beneficial results when
solved. A fair estimate that has been
made of the land that may be made
available for cultivation by impound
ing waters for irrigation purposes
places it's area at lOOOO.OOO acres. 1t
is now practically worthless. With
irrigation it is claimed this land would
be worth from S5OO,O0O.00O to per-
haps ten times that amount, and il
not sold it could be rented for from
81 to S. a year per acre. The necessity
for dealing promptly with the prob.
lem is accumulated by the fact that
companies arc now at work obtaining
control of vast tracts of land and of
the impOundng basins By means of
which they may be supplied with
water privileges and land are being
acquired by these companies that will
be used as the basis for making ex.
tortiOnate demands on the govern.
mcnt, should some plan for general
improvement be decided on. Some
idea of the importance of the matter
may be gathered from the fact that
the Republican national platform
strongly pronounces in favor of
system of arid land reclamation that
will leave the distribution of water on
such lands in the hands and under
the control Of the people of the states
and territories where the lands arc
situated
One of the important features of the
reclamation of arid lands by means
of impOunding reservoirs Is the fact
that It would be immensely helped to
the project of improving the great
rivers of tho wcst into commercial
waterways A system has been de.
vised by number of engineers we'll
posted in the subject which shows
that impending reservoirs built
along the Mississippi river would save
many acres of land from alternating
foods and drOushts and would make
possible a channel 20 feet in depth
from Lake Michigan. if desired, to the
Gulf of Mexico. Undoubtedly the next
general internal Improvement of the
United States will be a plan for the
reclamation of arid lands, which will
work tremendously with the improve.
ment Of the great rivers.
