It takes an Arizona sheriff to give hanging with proper eclat. Sheriff Scott White of Tombstone is in the city and has favored several of his friends with formal invitations to the choking of the Halderman boys. The invita- tions are on cards printed in fancy type and bordered with a mourning stripe. Wouldn't this send cold chills down your spine?

Blue Danube a DelusiOn,

A German gentleman of an inquisitive
turn OF mind has been watching the
waters of the Danube tor several months
says the New York Herald, with the OBJ.
ject of determining their exact colors.
Hesays, indeed, that he studied them for
year, and with the following result
During l 1 days they were brown, during
46 yellow, during Is of dirty green
hue, during As bright green, during SO
dark green, during 46 of an emerald
color, during 81 of a grayish yellow, and
during some other days ofno distinctive
color. He insists, however, that they
were never blue, a statement which
will seem strange to the many who re-
member that the most celebrated dance
of the "Waltz King" derives it's title
from the "blue" waters OF the Danube.
Matter of fact people will say that this
is only another proof of the carelessness
ofpoets and composers in regard to fact.
On the other hand, as the German in
vestigator's own figures show that he
only spent 331 days studying the Dan
ube, and, as there are 365 days in
year, it was rather premature of him to
make such bold statement, for how
does he know that the waves were not
blue on some, if not all, of the remaining
"a days?

Rip Van Wrinkles Land.

The Portuguese colonies in Africa are
the Rip Van Wrinkles land OF reality.
After three centuries of white dominion
they remain much in the condition in
which Da Cana and his bold successors
left them.
In the years report of our consul for
Angola these Portuguese peculiarities
stand out strongly.
Thus, from Loanda, the capital, to
Cape Town is about sixteen hundred
miles, and the journey should take about
six days. What actually happens is
this: You first take trip of three
thousand miles to Madeira, where you
waylay the next mail steamer, and then
complete the excursion by another Jour
ney of 1890 miles to Cape Town. In
short, 1900 miles have to be travelled to
to cover distance OF l 600 miles. A let
ter between Cape Town and Loanda
takes about two months.
Here is picture of what trade means
in the favored region of Cabnda Bay,
where there is single white trader, who
occupies house of three rooms, with
shop" of 20 feet by 8 feet attached.
The place is stocked with puncheons of
some vile stuff called rum" which are
exchanged for palm kernels.
Knots OF natives from the interior vii
lagos with loads of kernels begin to pre-
sent themselves at the shop by 6 a. M,
and when the trader at last makes his
appearance there is noisy crowd of ker-
mel sellers and thirsty hangers no.
The exchange of rum for kernels is
quickly effected and by 9 o'clock in the
morning the entire population may be
seen lying under the shelter of the cocoa
nut palms, either stupidity drunk or nois-
lily qnarrelling.
The mingled uproar and snoring lasts
till about noon, when there is a sudden
return to sobriety, and the crowds clear
away to the villages to collect the means
for another carousal.
On good" day, whichis often enough
Sunday, the trader at Cabinda Bay gets
rid of about 100 gallons of rum. And he
AYERS that the scene described is repeated
every day in the year.

Next to rum and Civilization, the
greatest curses of West Africa are small
pox and the sleeping sickness. From
this last no case of recovery has ever
been known, and so contagious is it that
in the native Christian communities every
COMMUNICATE has a separate vessel from
which to partake of the sacramental
wine.
1t is true there are labor arrangements
which look uncommonly like slavery
but then, so there are in Rhodesia, and
some are gleefully anticipating the time

it. Steel is the only thing that will out
last it. 1t is so hard that the fashioning
of it is very difficult but the excellent re-
suits obtained make it worthy of the
effort. The art of wood carving has
long been taught to the Filipinos, and
the traveller in their islands sees many
samples of their work 1t has reached
it's greatest perfection at the Jesuit
College at Manila, and the work in the
Jesuit Church is comparably the best so
far done. Twenty-three years ago the
students of the college sent an elaborate
piece of carving to the Centennial Ex-
position at Philadelphia, and with it
won first prize San Francisco Chron-

Woodworking by FiIipinos.

There stands in the old walled city of
Manila church whose rare beauty
should win it place among the famed
temples of the world. 1t is the Church
OF st. lgnatius of Loyola, and, as the
name would indicate, was erected by the
Jesuit fathers. The ten years that elapsed
between 1879 and 1889 were consumed
in its construction, and a success that
was truly artistic crowned the effort of
a decade. The exterior is neither i'm
posing nor artistic, but it was upon the
interior that effort was centred, and few
structures in the world can boast of the
perfect harmony of effect there attained.
Practically the entire interior is done in
the native hardwoods of the Philippine
Islands, that have been carved by master
hands. A remarkable fact in connection
with the work is that it is all done by
natives. The designs were all made in
Europe, and every credit is due the work
men who so closely followed their models.
This illustrates a peculiar trait in the
Filipinos. They lack originality, but
they are wonderful imitators. Give their
carvers a model and they will duplicate
to perfection. Let their painters see a
picture and they will reproduce it on
their own instruments.
Probably the most artistic piece of
carving in the church is the pulpit. 1t is
a massive affair, affixed to one of the
giant columns close to the altar rail.
On its sides are series of panels, upon
which have been carved scenes depicting
important scriptural events. The pulpit
has beautiful carved base, and upon
the outer side of the balustrade are the
figures OF saints. The figures have all
been perfectly carved, and there has been
wonderful regard for detail. Proper
tions are perfect, and the effect is at once
harmonious and artistic. A prodigious
amount of labor was expended upon the
pulpit. The Rev. Father Francisco, one
of the rectors of the church, under whose
direction most of the work has been
done, relates that the carving of the
base of the pulpit consumed two years,
and that the balustrade occupied nearly
as much time. Next to the pulpit, the
ceiling, which is entirely of carved wood,
attracts the most attention.
There are series of intricate designs
that show the genius of art and the skill
OF the carver, and the effect is admirable.
The columns, capitals and arches have
also been done in wood, and they. too.
enhance the beauty of the church. The
altars-one main and two side-are also
of wood, and show splendid specimens of
the skill of the carvers. The floor is also
of wood, and the sheen of its polish
serves to heighten the general effect.
Most of the wood used is malove, best of
all the fifty varieties Of hard woods that
grow in the Philippines. 1t is capable of
resisting any of the insects that attack
wood, and neither heat nor water affects
