A CHANCE FOR YOUNG M EN-.

| Some of our young men who don't
quite know what to do with themselves
might find profit in turning their atten-
ton to learning how to be good horse
doctors. The chief examiner of the civ
IL service commission says that never
in the history of the United States gov
eminent has there been such a demand
for veterinary surgeons of good stand
ing and thorough experience as at pres
ent. Since the Spanish-American and
the Boer wars it has been exceedingly
difficult to get veterinarians qualified to
do the work of food and animal inspec-
ton for the bureau of animal industry
in the agricultural department. There
Z is an excellent opportunity for young
men in this service of the government.
The next general examination will be
held on October 26 Other examinat lions
will be held from time to time through
out the country in the hope of satisfy
ing the demand for capable veterinari-
ans.
Such an opportunity should not be
neglected by sensible and ambitious
young men. 1t is better to be a good
horse doctor than a poor doctor of hu-
man beings, or even poor doctor of
divinity

STEALING A GREAT PICTURE.
A Romantic Fancy Concerning a Col
lector.

A Romantic Fancy Concerning Col
lector.
| The announcement that another i'm
portant picture has been stolen sug-
gests some curious reflections. If you
lose by theft gold chronometer that
cost hundred guineas you may at
least console yourself with the reflection
that the actual thief gets very few
pounds for his booty. Yet watch can
quickly be turned into a lump of sala-
BILE bullion. The man who steals a
great picture has by him a thing that
cannot be reduced to Its elements in
this way, and that is known to every
body who is likely to regard 1t as pos
sessing any value at all. 1t cannot be
denied that the mere lust Of possession
is one of the motives that most strongly
actuate the ardent collector He may
be thoroughly alive to the artistic mer-
it, and may--though this Is unusual
possess nothing that is merely rare.
Yet he gets pleasure from the knowl-
edge that he is owner, until the time of
his death, of objects desirable to us.
We do not hesitate to say that the Eu-
ropean who collected, and was content
never to show his treasures, or to let
it be known that he had them, would
be very rare bird indeed. Yet expert
thieves, with banks and jewelers. shops
on every hand, do now and again steal
pictures, valuable in the open market,
but quite worthless Gone might mag
incl to the biggest of fences" For, be
1t noted the stolen pictures rarely
come back as the result of the owners
paying blackmail.
1t is a romantic thought that there
may exist somewhere a collector who
does not care for other collectors; that
perhaps he is even the representative of
generations who have held similar
views, Suppose, in short, there should
be discovered in some quite
ordinary mansion or CASTLE a collection
of the worlds unaccountably lost mas
terpieces! For surely it is moderately
certain that expert thieves only covet
what is not theirs when they know
some one who desires to make it his,

AMUSING TELEGRAPH MISTAKES.
A good deal has been heard of late of
the Postal Telegraph department of the
post-office, but although most people
have occasion to send a sixpenny tele-
gram, few people have more than the
vaguest notion as to how that great
branch of the public service is man
aged.
The conduct of the Central Telegraph
office (writes one Of our correspondents
who has been inquiring into the sub
jecD is a matter of so much intricacy
that no one could imagine it who has
not actually seen the details of it's
workings.
The employees in the service of~the Of
flee amount to about five thousand;
they consist of men clerks, women
clerks, and messengers. To see how
they live, it is enough to say that men
clerks receive somewhere about one
hundred and fifty pounds a year. more
or less-not so bad in these days Wo-
men get less, but still their posts are
delatively quite as desirable. Indeed,
there are hundreds of promising girls
who are now in special training for
post office examinations.
IT is interesting to note the sums
which these busy workers spend annu-
ally in food. The office provides tea
gratis-so | understand-and of this the
annual cost is only three thousand
pounds a year for five thousand people.
This is truly marvellous, and amounts
to about a half-penny a head per day
But tea and bread and butter are not
expensive articles.

LENGTH or DAYS.

Massachusetts, is a good State to live
in, and there are those who think that
it would add to ones chances to be
buried in Massac husetts and be resur-
rected from there. Be this as it may,
it is interesting to notice that a recent
life table prepared for that State shows
that one may reasonably hope to live
hundred years in Massachusetts, if he
gets a good start. DR.. S. W. Abbott
years 1S93-97 that out of 10000 born in
that State nine persons may be expect
who attain this age may expect to live
one and two-tenths years longer IL
males and one and five tenths years
longer If females. A comparative table
for the year 1855 shows that half CEN
fury ago very few indeed had a chance
to reach the extreme age of one hum
dred since by table prepared by Eli
oft only nine out of 100000 would sur
vive to that age. In other words, the
chance of attaining the age of one hun
dred in Massachusetts is to-day ten
times what it was half century ago.
Perhaps similar condition of things
would be found to exist in some other
parts of the country. 1t is charged that
the young in this country don't honor
their fathers and mothers as they ought
to, but their days seem to be getting
longer. And it is asserted by an au-
thority that ut is certain that our
American men at sixty are not broken
up as badly as our fathers were at
forty"

THE GREATNESS OF MIR. SMITH

| II1E bHtAINESS OF' MIX. SMITH
A man from Georgia. one of the dele
gates to the Industrial convention, was
talking about Hoke Smith.
| Down in our state" said the dele
gate, the name of Hoke Smith is held
! in veneration. ApFopos of this they
tell story about a couple of crack
ers' who were sitting on a fence talk
ing politics. 1t was when Hoke Smith
was serving as secretary of the interior
in Cleveland's cabinet.
Hoke Smiths a great man, sub,

Yes, sub, Hoke Smiths a greatah
man than Jeff son Davis
"A long pause followed, and each
chewed meditatively.
Hoke Smith amt es great as God,'
remarked the doubling cracker.
This argument seemed cincher,
but the other cracker proved equal to
it. He spat copiously and then drawled
out: 'Mebbe not-mebbe not. Hoke

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.


The English seem to be afraid of the
extension of Russian influence in Per-
STA, and the Russians seem to be no
less afraid of the extension of English
influence in Persia. The Russians are
just now particularly excited over the
danger to Russian interests involved in
the establishment of line of Brit ish
telegraphs between Beluchistan and
Kashan, which is only two hundred
versts (about one hundred and thirty
three miles) distant from Teheran. A
numerous staff of British telegraphers
is, it is said, to be distributed over east
and central Persia. These telegraph
ers are all described as subordinate po-
litical agents of the British Govern
ment, under the immediate control of
the British Ambassador at Teheran,
and Lord Curzon is credited with the
conception of this deep-laid scheme.
The Persians, it is declared, treat the
British telegraphers with as much re-
spect as if they were consular officials
In Persia the telegraph system plays
an important political part, and the
foreign power which cont rolls it holds
a very decided advantage, say the Rus
sian newspapers. Moreover, the Cars
at Teheran has no safe
means of Geographic communication
with the home authorities in case of
his being unable to use the British line.

AS it is he is obliged to send important
dispatches by courier. Therefore, it is
argued, Russia must hasten to secure
a Geographic line of her own, and see
that it is properly guarded.

THE belief entertained by many per-

shall not be in dress goods or other
articles of dress more than one one
hundredth of a grain to the square
yard, or In other materials or articles
more than one tenth of a grain to the
square yard. The Board, after an in

FOR invoking the power of this law, only

lain more than the statutory allowance

tions existing ten years ago, there is

of arsenic in dyeing or in coloring wall

that the wealth of Mr. Richards was
very large and he thought the marriage
settlement would consequently be high.

KIND HEARTS.

The tendency of some people to Sc
verely criticise others leads to nothing
but sadness. How much better it is to
look on the bright side, and search for
the spark of divinity that still remains
Often where you least expect to find it,
springs the little blossom of love, that
illustrates the truism, "a little touch
of nature makes the whole world kim"
AS a case in point, our attention was
recently arrested by an incident that
will never be recorded upon the pages
of history, nor heralded from the
housetops, but as drop of cold water
on the parched tongue, it brought re-
lief to a needy one at time when hope
was almost crushed to earth.
A mother gazed upon the cold, still
face of her dead babe; her only one.
Added to the pangs of separation was
the thought that in this hour of Attic
ton she lacked the funds to pay for the
little coffin that would contain the lit
tie form she loved so we'll. And, while
the cold world looked on, apparently
'unmoved, there came band of women,
whose lives might indeed be criticized,
and at whom there are many who would
cast the first stone; quietly and gently,
with tears of real sympathy, they did
what they could do and went on their
way. And the little white coffin was
paid for while from the dim past came
the words of the sage: "Let him that
is without sin, cast the first stone"

PASTOR COLES FAREWELL.

Rev. H.. Hammond Cole, of the Con-
gregational church, preached his fare
we'll sermon last Sunday evening.
As he concluded his remarks on this
occasion he pathetically alluded to the
fact that never again would he be priv
ileged to address the audience before
him, but, as a last exhortation, he pre-
sented to them, as he had done so many
times before, the story of Christ.
The audience was visibly affected
and many shed tears.
Rev. Cole has been stationed on
Douglas Island for the past two years.
He and his excellent wife have made
many friends, and few enemies. Bro.
Cole is one of the few preachers who
can boast of any real business ability.
He is an exception among professional
men, being always prompt and accu-
rate. The principal, and we believe his
only reason for leaving Douglas, is his
failing health.
Mr.. Cole is possessed in large de-
gree, of the instinct of poet, and dur
ing his stay in Alaska, has positively
reveled in the beautiful scenes which
abound so plentifully. a man humbly
sensible of his own faults and short
comings; ever strong to overcome them,
and hence lenient in his attitude toward
the faults of others.
The influence of his work on Douglas
Island will be felt even after he shall
have left for another field of labor.

health to sever his connection with the
said pastorate to seek more healthful
climate; and
WHEREAS, The church and commun-
ity have felt deeply the Christian influ-

and consider their loss to our commu-
nifty one which will be we'll nigh ire
parable. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the thanks and heart
felt appreciation of the members and
congregation of this church are hereby
extended to the Rev. and Mrs. Cole for
their untiring zeal and loving ministry
among us. Be it further
Resolved, That we heartily recon-
mend the Rev. Cole to any church or
congregation to whom he shall minis
