THIS GIRL DID NOT FAINT.
Her Heartiess Young brother Cured
Her Of Her Desire TO
Collapse.

There was an incident Of Easter Sum
gramme of one Of the prominent
churches of the city, but which caused
considerable amusement 10 some and
satisfaction 10 others Of the worship
ers, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Among the attendants were a young
man and his sister. The youth was
aged perhaps IS years and he was,
when faintness in ones womanlxind is
regarded merely as a beastly bore and
not as an occasion for sympathy. The
young woman was perhaps three years
his senior. The services were long
and before they were half over the
girl swayed as she stood listening to
the Gospel, turned deadly pale and
clutched at her brothers arm.
I'm going 10 faint said.
"No, you're not, either" replied that
youth in an energetic whisper. Here

the time he was uttering these tender
directions he was poking his compan-
ion in the ribs as only a lusty, healthy
l5-year-old boy can poke.
The effect was magical. Half a
dozen vinaigrettes and host Of palm

young woman 10 herself as quickly

STRANGE MOUNTAIN TRIBE.
Aborigincs In the wiIds
of Borneo.

A strange tribe has just been dis
covered in Borneo by Or. a. w. Nieu-
wenhuis, the distinguished Dutch eX-
plorer. As he was travelling through
the district of Sarawak he heard from
his guides that at little distance
there was a mountain tribe which no
European or America had ever visit
ed, and straightway he went thither,
and in a day or two found himself at
the headquarters of these unknown
aborigines. At once he saw that they
differed from all other ratiYes OF
Borneo, and he spent some weeks in
acquainting himself with their Curl
Gus customs and also in studying
their country, which is entirely un-
known to foreign travellers. In this
way he accumulated a mass Of new
material. which he intends 20 give 10
the world at an early date in the
form Of a book.
This is the second journey which
DIR. Nieuwenhuis has taken 20 Central
Borneo. He first went there in 1895
and explored the sources OF the Ka-
puas and Mahakkam rivers, after
which he returned 20 Europe where
he at once obtained an appointment
as director Of the Botanical garden
at Buitenzorg. In 1899 he went again
20 Borneo, intending 10 thoroughly
explore the interior OF the country,
and IL is claimed that in this task he
has succeeded better than any pre-
vious traveller.

FOOD FOR ALLIGATORS.
Children of the Natives Are Dcvoured
by the Cnmians Of CoIom-
bia Rivers.

THE Magdalena river in Colombia"
said j. f. Macarthur. of Buffalo, re-
ports the New York Tribune, "is much
infested by alligators, or camians, as
the natives call them. They grow TO
enormous size. and are bloodthirsty.
These alligators will kill child read
lily, and in consequence of the danger
from them the natives are accus-
toned TO build in front of their VIII
lagos protective breakwaters. This
is done by driving piles into the bed
Of the river, short distances apart.
The heads of the piles protrude
above the water and run in semi
circle from the bank out into the
stream and back again. The camians
cannot get into this space, and all
the washing and bathing of the viii
lage is done therein with absolute
safety. Some years ago | was as
cending the Magdalena, when we
came 10 small village. Wanting
something, l landed, but could find
no one in the huts, save a solitary
native woman, who was weeping Bit
terly. Upon inquiring the reason. she
said II was because the camians had
that afternoon destroyed child Of
hers. The village was without the
necessary protective breakwater, and
therefore asked why they didn't
build one. We're thinking Of IL, she
answered, as this is the second child
we have lost within three weeks
Children, il is perhaps needless 10
explain, are cheap i'm Colombia"

ACTED JUST LIKE SOME MEN,
when This Monkey Got Drunk He
began 10 Throw AWAY His
Money.

The unusual spectacle OF an intoxi-
Gated monkey, eaudily dressed ia red
and gold, throwing nickels and pennies
at a crowd Of children almost resulted
in 4 tragedy on Chestnut street the
other morning, says the Louisville Cou-
rier-Jougnal. --------
The monkey was more intelligent
than most OF his race. He wasn't
young, and his queer behavior could
not be attrib-ted to his inexperience.
OF course, he was the property Of an
organ grinder. Up beyond First the
musician stopped and ground out
I'D Leave Ny Happy Home fer You,
always q favorite with the neighbor-
hood students.
At second-story window the little
beast saw a man standing. The stran-
ger beckoned and the monkey quickly
climbed 10 him. The window was
opened, and The little climber disap-
peared within. Five minutes later he
climbed down the lightning rod. Aft
er that the whole monkey family would
have been scandalized could they have
witnessed his actions. For a block he
was unruly. Then he began TO sep
arate himself from the money which
he had collected. Nickels flew in ev-
cry direction.
But the animal kept on iabbering.
1t was not his fault that he was drunk.
When he went 10 that second-story
window the young man offered him
whisky-soaked bread, and the animal
ate HEARTILY.

REPORTS or WESTWARD
Newport Brings Several Good Things
 About Mining Conditions

Mr. Lloyd Hill returned on the steamer Newport Tuesday night from a mine surveying trip at Boulder Bay, says the Juneau Mining Record. There are eleven claims that were sold by Charles Rua to a Mir Hines who is preparing to put in an necessary ma chinery to thoroughly develop the mine. It is copper with small gold bearings and the indications are very good for a paying mine.
 He says Mir. Williams is at work on Land Lock Bay putting up a cable by which his copper prospect IS reached which is quite we'll up on the side oi the mountain.
 Al Virgin Bay Mir. J. D. Murrots who owns a good prospect is pushing his development work by sinking shafts and running tunnels by which he has opened ledge of copper On feet wide.

Change In African Policy

There is a general agreement among those who have come recently from South Africa that there will be a change of policy as soon as Lord Mil ncr returns and conicrs with General Kitchener. says the London cor pondent of the Tribune. This change will be effected by the resumption of work on a large scale at Che Johannes burg mines.
 Dr. Jameson considers that a mis- take has been made m keeping thc miners out oi Johannesburg and that this will be rccti6cd as soon as Lord Miner reaches South Africa He as- scrts that thc true policy Is Co com ceutratc an adequate garrison there. and Co facilitate m every possible way the return of the mininp population and the transportation of supplies needed for it
 When thc way has been opened for thc resumption oi ordinary mining op- crations in that quarter the Bocrs will begin to settle down and carry their farm produce into market li thc shooting goes on for a while in the Eastern or Western Transvaal or m Che Orange River Colony it will not offset the moral effect oi the rcsump- tion of business in thc chief mining centre. Johannesburg will again be fully populated and employed and this win bc practical evidence that the war ha, ended and peace restored Gucr ilIa operations will gradually disappear with adequate police work Dr. Jam. csou believes that peace in this sense is close at hand and that Lord Milner fully understands the situation This view is shared by the best informed South Africans m London.

GREAT
A Big Showing Made In
 AlaSka's Marine

According Co figures obiainable at the custom house Seattlc's and Puget Sounds trade with Alaska is increas- ing. despite the fact that this is what is known as the dull season. Practi- cally all oi the mcrchandise. supplies etc. which are shipped to Alaska go via Seattle and the figures are fairly representative of the Alaska business of this port. says the Times. So far this season over seventy vessels have cleared from Seattle under special per init for Alaska. that is. taken out pa pers authorizing a call at ports which have not been created by law as special ports of entry.
 Of the steamers and other craft taf- gin out special permits all have been loaded with heavy cargoes Of such sup plies as are needed by the miners m Alaska. This is not representative O! the entire business of the Sound with Alaska. Steamers sailing to such ports as are already designated ports of en- try are not included in the above fig ures These added to the number of vessels taking ont special permits would astonish even the most sanguine of the steamship officials and the ciii- zens who take an active interest in the tremendous increase of Puget Sounds marine business.
 As to the Sounds share of the Alas. ka business the number of vessels clearing from here under special per mits for the north is double that of the number of vessels clearing from all the other ports on the Pacific 'ois., including San Francisco.
 Six years ago there were two steam CTS leaving Seattle each month for Alaskan ports In the summer the steamer Queen ran on the excursion route north. Now there are SO many steamers plying to Alaska that many times from four to six leave on one day It is a usual thing for as many as three steamers to sail for the north on one evening. There are at least half a dog en steamers which advertise regular departures every seven or eight '4ys.
