 Presently somebody produces rope, which is instantly seized upon and tied round the neck of the dummy Judas. For hours after that the efigy is dragged up and down the deck, being constantly reviled, spurned and spat upon.
 Finally, when everybody has had enough of it, and is thoroughly winded. the dummy is hoisted to the masthead, being left there until the following morning.
 Whenever sailor comes on deck throughout the whole of Good Friday he looks up towards the swaying eff fgy, spits at it and utters curse.

At n recent meeting of the London
Geological Society a communication
was received in which the probable
discovery Of a new species of horse in
the great Congo forest was announced.
The description Of the animal was
furnished by Sir Harry Johnson, who
said that his attention had been d.
rected to the existence Of a horse-like
animal in this region from the fau
that Stanley had mentioned that the
Dwarfs had a name for the horse. He
had obtained portions of the skin
which are to be forwarded to Eng
land for critical examination. 1t is
clear that the skin does not belong to
any known zebra or wild ass. The
belly and leg stripes are Irregular
with a chestnut border, and they look
very much as if other parts Of the
skin We're either a uniform dun 0.

followed the presentation Of the let
ter it was suggested that the animal
in question was an undescrlbed ante

ending June, 1900, aggregated over
1881, 100000, or more than a million

the whole trade Of the Dominion is
something less per day than the daily

ME Kck THE eHAP THAr,s DOWN

This is a queer old world of ours, just as
it's always been,
Il is made up of hills and dales, Of women
and Of men;
And while a host is ever near the one that
wins the crown,
A goodly number are about to kick the
chap that's down.
Whoever strives IN any line and meets
with great success
The world will sit up half the night to
datter to excess;
But woe to him who tries and fails-he
gets a chilling frown,
Because so many still delight to Kick the
chap that's down.
And so ! fancy twill remain down to the
end of time
Since human natures bout the same in
every age and cline;
A man has always been man, clown
has been a clown,
So there will always be a crowd to kick

In Austria there IS a system OF in
surance against strikes. A company
has been formed which indemnifes it's
stockholders or patrons for all losses
sustained by them from strikes in
their establishments, whether volun.
tary, sympathetic or forced. The pre-
MUM is equal to three or four per
cent of the pay roll, and the indemnity
Is fifty per cent. Of the wages paid for
the week next preceding the suspen'
sion Of work. Just as ordinary insur.
ance companies will not pay for fires
that were due to the carelessness or
design Of the insured, it is provided,
however, that no indemnity can be de-
manded If an investigation by the
agents Of the insurance company
show that tie strike was justified, or
was due to bad faith, bad treatment
or the violation Of contracts or agree
ments between the employer and his
men.

Recently compiled statistics show
that both shippers and travellers in the
United States enjoy a lower average
rate from railroads than do those Of
any other part Of the world. The av-
erage rate per ton per mile received
by the railroads OF this country during
1893 was only 1850, and the average
rate per passenger mile was but 1.904c.
In Europe rates Of both kinds are very
much higher In this country some
classes Of freight are now carried at u
rate that would not have covered the

Xl Geminorum, which has long been
known rs q variable, is in reality dou-
bic, but its two components are so
close that no telescope is able to sep
arate Them and their existence is
proved by the shifting lines in the

Among North American birds the
grebe nests in and near the water. The
prairie hen, on the contrary nests on
the ground, being a terrestrial bird.
Some birds. like the meadow lark, are
partly arboreal, nesting near the
ground in trees. The indigo bird IS
neither arboreal nor terrestrial, nj.
though it nests in the trees. The
heron Is striking exception to the
theory that habit decides the nesting
site. Although a terrestrial bird, K
places its nest high in the trees, as
does the wood duck, which is an
aquatic bird Wood hawks nest in
bogs, as DO the marsh gulls.

an entire absence OF news at the state

10 have three ships on the way within

the battleship Iowa had arrived at
san Francisco and she was instructed
by telegraph % proceed as soon as
possible to Panama On the west coast.

some coal aboard, but the department
believes she will be able TO sail ON her
s,4oO-miles journey by Sunday morn
