terence on "Wednesday rext. Davis
suggested that 4 subcommittee be ap

report that there is nothing impracti-
cable nor visionary IN tie construction
Of the road nr the :lo;at'tn Of the ne-
cessary stock. He remarks that each
of such systems as the Pennsylvania,
the New York Central, the Atchison,
the Northern Pacific. the Union Pacific,
the Southern Pacific, the Southern
Railway and others have a greater
mileage than is now necessary to as
sure the realization Of the intercon-

mated as necessary for the construc-
ton Of the railroad In question.
The Russian Government has Just

through Siberia at cost considerably
In excess of the amount estimated as
necessary for the completion of an Am
erican intercontinental railroad and In
doing so has overcome greater natural
difficulties than are to be looked for
In the construction OF the latter.
Davis estimates the mileage OF the
intercontinental railroad to be con-
structed at 5000 miles, In order to link
existing systems, and calculates the
cost at 100000, or at the rate OF
$4,000 per mile.
The report terminates with the fol-
lowing recommendations: First, that
railroad connecting all, or the great
er part of the nations represented In
fully to the development of the mater

Second, that the said railroad ought,
connect the principal cities situated
along its route.
Third, that II the direction Of the
railroad cannot be changed for the OBJ

THE PRIDE OF THE cEc1Ls.
Comments Brought Forth by Sails
bury's Recent Speech.
(From the Paris Temps.

The English people, enlightened by the
difficulties and rebuffs of the South Afrf-
can campaign, have recently been brought
to reflection. Those who do reflect and
read and those who know history have
been beginning for more than year TO
ask themselves whether their nation has
not committed a serious mistake in
Vealing its weak or Vulnerable points and
for a long time exhausting it's active
forces. Lord Salisbury, even if ne thought
this would not say so. He would main
tain the contrary opinion precisely he
cause he is Prime Minister and head OF
party.
this point like many of his cOuntrymen.
He does not believe that the war has been
difficult or that Englands 5 star has paled.
He could not, indeed, believe 1t even II
he fried. The fact is that Lord Salisbury
does not represent English opinion He
represents the English ariStocracy, which
is quite another thing. He is the con-
sCious descendant of the Cecils. For three
centuries the shadow OF the Crown mas
never been seen without the name Of
Cecil inscribed on 1t.
Three hundred years ago the other great
Queen of England died. Then, as now, a
Cecil governed England. Then, now.
his nephew, a philosopher and statesman,
was the second parsonage in the realm.
Three hundred years have passed, and
England has not ceased to expand or the
Cecils more or less, to govern Their
descendant has just closed great reign,
buried great Queen, and opened the
twentieth century how can you expect
such man to read contemporary history.
And how can you expect his equals, all
the blue blood of the British arstocracy
or even of the upper middle class which
has reigned so long, to see things with
clearnesS.
Historic pride, English pride. the in
veterate pride of those who have been
too long supreme and solated. the pride
of Louis XIV, and a Napoleon. which
belongs to their caste and has passed into
their blood, this pride distorts their Wis
ion. Lord Salisbury's invincible optim-
ism, even if it were not polite, would
from a national and English standpoint
have a good influence in the PRESENT mo-
ment 1t must be noted. indeed, that in
spite of prejudices too easily accepted the
mode of thought of the so-cailed govern
ing classes is in England much nearer
than il is with us to the opinion of the
populaCe. II is always simple. frequently
brutal, and invariably flattering for ma
tional pride.

the manager, lit is Just as if one were

The contrasts presented by Paris and

Paris does most things with the right
hand or at the right side; London follows
the left.

expansion.
Paris is built of stone. London of brick
Paris has high houses and narrow
streets, LOndons buildings are low and

The windows of Paris open like doors,
those of London a la guiilotine.
Paris Is cOllectivistic. IL dwellS in hOuS-

don is individualistic, each family having
its own house.
Paris has its PORTER, London its night
Paris gets up early from its bed which
is against the wall; London arises late
from its bed which is in the centre Of

Paris dimes. London eats.

and but one cause; Paris has lD0 causes
and no religion at all
Paris is gay. London sad
London has too few soldiers, Paris too
many. The soldier in Paris wears a blue

ANIMALS MAN HAS DESTROYED.
The Giraffe May Soon Go the Way of
the AUX and the Dodo.
(From the London Chronicle.) }

The giraffe is now one of the rarest of
quadrupeds. a fact due TO the persistence
with which it has been hunted, and but
for the care with which the Indian ele-
plant has been domestcated and bred, it,
too. might have declined with its African
cOmpeer.
one of the most typical illustrations
which we have of the short and sharp
determination Of an animal race is that
of a big, unwiedy animal called the
rhytina a near relative of the sca-cOw,
one species of which, the manatec is not
uncommon in geological collections.
These animals have no hind limbs; their
forelimDs exist as fiippers, and their tail
is set horizontally, as in the whale. The
rhytina was discovered about the middle
Of the eighteenth century on a small ISL
and off the Kamtchat tllan coast called
Behring'S Island II was here Bering him
self was wrecked.
The animals were easily killed, and af-
forded good eating, the latter an aii-suffi-
cient reason for their slaughter. The last
of this race dates frem the year l76S.
As for birds, and eseCially heavy bodied
ones we have n long list of eXtinctious
as the result Of mans Interference. Not
to speak Of the great aux, we have the
dOdo and the solitaire.
The second-named was found in Maurf-
thus. 1t was killed off at the end OF the
seventeenth century. The solitaire in

from the middle of the eighteenth cen

Major General Otis. Commander of the
Department of the Lakes. states that he
Will not oppose the landing of the Indians
on the Illinois shore unless so ordered by
the War Department.:
There IS little probability of the Gov
ernments taking any hand in the contro-
versy." General Otis said. "aS it seems to
be altogether a local issue between the
Pottawatomic Indians and the city of Chi
cago. However. if the Indians should be-
come refractory, it is possible that the
Secretary OF the Interior might call on
the War Department, and we would then
be ordered to look after them"

COUSIN TO THE GUINEA PIG.
The Cavy becoming Pet in Ameri-
Households.
From the Kansas city Journal.)

An enterprising woman out in Wood
stock. ILL.,. Mrs. Edith Kingman Poyer.
has demonstrated what one Of her sex
can do as breeder of pet stock. She has
been but three years in the business and
her success has been phenomenal
1t was she who introduced a novelty in
domestic pets called the caVy. This curl
Gus little creature has long been a favor
ite in England, but in America was, until
q few years ago, practically unknown. She
imported some fine specimens and began
breeding them.
Most readers will ask, What IS
cavy?" He is a sort of a second cousin
to the guinea pig and his sole mission in
life is that of pet. Utility is not one Of
his attributes; he cannot catch the nim-
bic mouse like the family cat nor guard
the household like faithful towser. He
is, however, quite as useful as the fash
ionable toy dog, whose beauty is his only
| recommendation.
The finer kinds are exquisite little play
things. There are several distinctive va
rieties. The English, which are the best
known, may be classed among the
smooth-Coated animalsi their hair is short
and glossy and is easily kept clean They
come in several color combinations.
among which black and white and red and
white are the most usual. The tri-cOlOred,
or tortoise shell. cavy, in red, white, and
black is in much demand. To be correct
the color should be laid on in distinct
patches and not mottled. The seif-cOlOred
species in luStrOus black or red are eX-
tremely attractive; the white ones are
more common.
The Peruvian breed IS so different from
the English that one would scarcely rec
ognize IL as beiongings to the same family.
They have a coat as sleek and fine as
spun silk and their abundant names trail
upon the ground in a fluffy fringe over
their heads and faces In fact the Peru
Wan cavy reminds one of an extremely
diminutive Yorkshire terrier and Is quite
as pretty. Mixed coloTiugs are the rule,
white is the only solid color and the pure
white ones have lovely rose pink eyes and
delicate pink paws; they are, in fact, the
albinos Of the race.
The cavy Is not eyaCtng as to his bed
and board; he is quite content with a box
on the lawn or lodging I'm the barn, and
viii nibble such kitchen refuse as the par
ing Of vegetables and fruit. He viii also
eat milk and bread He is inordinately
fond Of bananas and apples. which may
be given him occasionally as dessert.
The cavy cuts number Of amusing an
ties and Is a neVer-failing source of amuse-
children. He expresses his appreciati ton
by twitteTing Ike a canary or WhStling
like a mocking bird.
The American Cayy Club is doing all in
its power to keep the breed up to the
standard Of excellence Besides being
pretty pets they may be a source of in
come, as they are not difficult to raise
In England purely bred specimens com
mand from $40 TO $50 while some Of the
prize stock brings fabulous prices. Two
hundred and fifty dollars was offered for
the famous Rob Roy, the finest Abyssini-
an in existence. Orange Peel, Mrs Poyer's
celebrated Peruvian, IS the haudsomest
cayy in America.
