rNFORTUNATE COMBINATION.

lt Is unfortunate for Americans and those interested in the repeal of the alien exclusion act, that the motion made by Mir. Clifford and urgently sec ouded by Capt John Irving, the other Cassiar member, coupled with a denun. citation Of the act the condemnation of the government for its passage. The motion, as offered, and which was de- featcd was as follows:
 That in view Of the nasty legis'a- ton by the government last session. in amending the placer mining act, by which aliens are deprived of the right to acquire placer mines in this province, having proved highly detrimental to the mining industry by obstructing the introduction of capital, creating a dis trust in titles to mining claims and by hampering the development of such in dustries, the government has forfeited the confidence of the people of this pro- vince"
 It will readily be seen that its word- ing cOmprchended th, downfall of the ministry in the event of its adoption, There were, doubtless, members who would have supported the motion had not the life of the Semlin administra- ton been at stake In fact there were a number Of government members who voted against the Clifford motion who had frequently expressed themselves in strong terms as in favor of tee repeal of the alien act. The premeditated ab- sence Of Joe Martin and Mir. Higgins, both desertcrS and opponents of the government, both of whom were strong supporters of the alien exclusion act, at the time the vote was taken, proves that there was greater interest taken in the fate Of the ministry than in the mining law.
 There seems good ground yet to be- lieve that the sentiment Of the parlia- ment Is opposed to the bill.

The Juneau peple complain that Gov crnor Brady is preventing the building of a court house at that city. IfJuneau Is in earnest in it's desire to secure this pubic building, we suggest that it offer sufficient induccment to secure the removal of Governor Brady's saw mill from Sitka to that place. Or per haps they could induce the federal gov ernmeut to do 60. It would certainly profit the national government to move the Governors saw mill to a market, rather than to e'ect government i'm provements at Sitka for the sole pur- pose Of keeping it supplied with work.

Whale a Disturber.

Last year the sardine fishery on the Biscayan coasts was a good deal spoilt by the presence of a large whale, which seemed to have got itself cor nered9 i'll the wedge of the bay of which the Bidassoa's estuary makes the apex. All the sea here. for some thing like 200 miles out, is shallow, so one can imagine the eommotion that g rather badly fIustered whale would make on finding himself threat ened by stranding among the sardine population. Naturally enough the fishery did not prosper with such a large disturbing influence about. But it is not little singular that this year again, so far as the season has gone, little has been doing, and surely this cannot be occasioned by fear of last years whale. But whatever the reason, the fact is too true that the sound of the lookout mans horn has been seldom heard (they post a man on watch for sardlnes in the bay, whose duty it is to sound his horn on their appearance, to summon the fish ermen to the boats), even though the ceremony of the "tInterlo de los sar- dinos9 has taken place, with all it's childish pageantry, in all the Biscayan villages that the sardine fishery con- cerns. Luckily the Basques are not wholly dependent upon their fisher ies; but of course, their degree of suc- cess makes a difference to them Chicago News.

TURKISH BOYS IN SCHOOL
Some Astonishing Yarns Taught tho
 Young Students.

The beginning of a Mahommedan boys school life is always made an occasion for a festival. It oesurs on his seventh birthday. The entire school goes to the new scholars home leading richly caparisoned and flower bedecked donkey The new pupil is placed on this little beast, and with his hodJa, or teacher, leading the children form a double file and escort him to the schoolhouse, singing joyous hyr'ns. To stranger the common Turkish school presents a singular scene, The pupils are seated cross-legged on the bare marble pavement in the porch of the mosque, forming a semicircle about hedJa, who is, as rule, an old fat man. He holds in his hand a stick long enough to reach every student. By means of this rod he is enabled not only to preserve order among the mis- ehfeFoUs, but to urge on the boy whose recitation is not satisfactory. But as a rule, hodjas are lazy and often fall asleep. A half-grown boy, in the pres enee of missionary who tells the story, asked the hodja: What makes it rain ?9 up in the clouds.,' an swered this wise teacher, "our prophet Mahomet and the one who belongs to the Christians went into business to- gethef, the profits to be divided. One night Mahomet stole all the profits and ran away.

 Smoke. Perfume,

One day at Versailles, during the Franco-German war, Lord 0do Russell went to call on Bismarck, but found him eloseted with Count Henry Arnim, who was known as the Ape, from his fantastieal ways. Before long Arnim came out, flaming himself with his handkerchief and looking as if about to choke. Well" he gasped, T can not understand how Bismarck can bear that-smoking the strongest Ha- vana in a stuffy little room. I had to beg him to open the window" When Lord Russell entered the room he found the chaeellor flaming himself beside an open easement What strange tastes some people have!'' he exclaimed. .Arnim has just left me, and he was so overpoweringly per- fumed that I had to open the win. dow.

Some Points About rretata.

Extreme cold increases the tenacity of pure metals and alloys, and the higher the melting point of metal the stronger it is likely to be. This is accounted for by the statement that metals with high melting points must necessarily be coherent and tenacious. Metals are composed of molecules, and high-melting point metals require an enormous amount of heat to drive the molecules apart,

Smoke Shells Suggested.

The great loss of life incurred by the English troops is mainly attributable to the charges they have had to make across open spaces in order to dislodge the enemy from the sheltering kopje. In order to minimize the death roll it has been suggested that just before a charge takes place smoke shells should be fired, which would temporarily hide the English soldiers.

Queer Indian Custnms.

The Mosquito Indians are not ac- quainted with the art of kissing, but they sniff or smell the skin of the cheeks, which answers the same pur- pose. The little child is lifted in the fathers arms, he buries his nose in it's stomach. Handshaking is as common as with Us, but there is always tinge of melancholy in the character of the Indains which breaks out where We would expect hilarity, Thus, after long absence, sisters and mothers sit down, and, throwing cloth over their heads, with their hands clasped on the head of the person who has returned, cry over him with their dirge-like song. On the part of the wives, it is supposed to be improper to show any emotion, consequently they take lit tie notice of the husband oil his return, but confne their attention to others and do their duties in the meantime Bells Tangowera.

Patti's Parrots.

The other par rot-Jumbo by name--is an oddity Patti bought him for $200 in New York, where he was reputed to be the finest talking parrot alive. Once in her possession he became dumb. In vain they tried to coax him to con verse. Months went by until one morning the prima donna woke with 2 bad sore throat. Send for the doctor, :" she cried, flor I have to sing tonighti3 The doctor duly arrived. As he entered the room the parrot uttered his first and last words. "Oh! doctor" he ex- claimed n strong Yankee accent, I'm 50 sick!" And since that day, now several years ago, he has not ut- tered a Baltimore News.
 Saved from the Enemy.
 From Rensburg, in Cape Colony, comes the news that train loaded with supplies and without any engine somehow got started on down grade within the British lines and was head ed for the Boer lines. It was seen to be impossible to stop the train, so, rather than have the supplies reach the Boers. the British gunners directed the guns on the cars and destroyed fbam and their contents.

 Prof. Francis E. Benedict of Wes- leyan college, describing the colori- meter recently. said: Its object is to measure with the smallest margin of error the total amount of excreta of all sorts from living man for an ex- tended period It is a living room. which is the inside of a nest of five. the spaces between the rooms, or boxes, as the outside ones would be thought of, being ayailed of as insulat- ing layers of air, while the material of different sorts is applied so that no heat shall escape except through the Y devices for measuring it. The inside living room is of copper, air-tight, and all the air admitted is measured, test ed for temperature, and cleared of water and Vapor to a small residue, and samples analysed at stated inter- yals. The same, or even greater, pre- cautions are taken with the outgoing air, in which are the results of the living processes going on in the man within. Provisions are made for a large number of precautions against error, suggested by experience and prompted by scientific caution. so that the entire plant is quite a machine shop, the appartus being generally of the expensive, specially designed or der, and built with as near an approach to mathematical accuracy. Elaborate freezing machines for removing the water vaDor to a constant percentage. nearly 400 electrical devices, a sort Of thermometer scattered over the room, designed to record electrical changes in direction induced by heat, measuring thus down to hundredtA Of degree Fahrenheit, and means for continuously analyzing all the air com ing from the room are examples of what is required. All that the subject eats or drinks must be weighed and sterilized, and means devised for pass ing them in without disturbing the conditions of observations.

COLORADO LYNcHING.
Calvin Kimblern. Negro Murderer,
Met Death at the Hands OF
Mob

CHICAGO. May 2S.-A special 10 the
Times Herald from Pueblo. Colo. says;
After being dragged through the
streets at the end OF a rope for 200
yards, and after the rope had broken
twice while the struggling and yelling
negro was being pulled up, Calvin Kim
bleru. murderer, was lynched at i:SS
o'clock this morning.
Three thousand people watched the
death struggles and hnaily the last
witches. and then the shouting and
yelling that at first drowned the ne
grcs voice. died away In silence.
Affairs had been at fever heat In
Pueblo all evening. II was pretty well
known when the officers we're going
to bring back the murderer from Den,
Yer. Their movements We're announced
from the telegraph office and frequent
bulletins kept everybody posted.
At 1880 o'clock last night. a report
was current that he officials Of the
Rio Grande railroad had issued or
ders to rush all trains past the Eighth
street station without stopping. A
pile Of ties twelve feet high was quick
~ placed on the tracks Just north OF
the depot and warming was sent to the
dlspatchers to notify the engineers OF
all trains that they must be brought
to a standstill and search permitted.
The first train dowh soon after was
freight. The red lanterns were
swung across the track and the train
stopped. A dozen men jumped on the
engine and asked II the prisoner had
heen brought in on the train. They
were assured that he had lot. The
crowd was. not satisfied, Insisting on
searching every car, but the negro was
not found
The ties were then removed and the
train allowed 10 proceed. This was
kept up until the arrival OF the Rio
Grande train at 1:15 o'clock. the mob
Of determined citizens being told that
Kimblern was on board. at once sur
rounded the train at the Eighth street
depot oyerpowered the officers and
took the negro from the train.
Putting rope around his neck, the
lynchers dragged him to the corner Of
Eighth and Santa Fe avenue, dis
tance OF about three blocks. The rope
was quickly put across telegraph
pole, diagonally opposite the Grand
hotel, and the negro was strung up.
The rope broke twice. but the third
attempt was successful. Then coun-
Gil Of the leaders was held and It was
decided to burn the body on the pile Of
railroad ties.
Kimblern's crime was the assaulting
and killing Of two little girls in Fries
Orphan Home in this city last Sunday
morning, when he also nearly MUIR
dered his wife.
