1HA MULA BUslNass.

Some pretty solemn work is being done to find out whether the interna- tional laws of neutrality have been and are being violated in this country in the matter of selling mules to the British. MT o. H. Gentry, secretary to Cover nor Cookery, has visited Lathrop, Mis- souri, to gather information for the governor. MT. Gentry has found that Major Moore of the British army, is the purchasing agent in charge, and all animals shipped to Lathrop for South Africa-about 72,OOO head up to date are shipped in his name. Guyton x Harrington, the firm that owns or leases the land, takes charge of the stock as it arrives and keeps and feeds it at an agreed price per head until it is started for Africa or India. Sum marizing the whole natter says MT Gentry, T will say that from appear ances it looks very much as if the busi- ness were largely conducted under Brit ish auspices" Coincidently with this re- port comes the information that agents of the government have come to sinii- lar conclusion respecting the depot or camp at Port Chalmette, Louisiana. Chalmette is the point at which the mules and horses bought by the British agents are received and placed aboard transports for shipment, practically all of them coming from Lathrop.
 Of course if it is by and by discov- cred that the laws of neutrality are be- ing violated the hourishing business done in mules will have to stop or change it's form. But perhaps the war will stop before anything serious hap pens.

AN AFRICAN NIGHT.

From the bush rose the death scream of some animal in the grip of it's pur- suer, jaekals yelped in the distance, or the prolonged howl of a hyena broke out close at hand A wakeful boy" initiated it derisely the snores gave place to a renewd murmur of talk, the askari flung another log on the smold- ering fire. Not always did the land lie silent. I have known sleep made diff cult by the antics of hundreds of zebra, who thudded hither and thither on the plain like diminutive cavalry, and cried in succession of little barks, worried perhaps by finding the camp between them and their accustomed watering place. In some districts when on wet nights rain had swamped the fires, a geological garden of "questing beasts" was apt to foregather round the tents Thus hyenas, jackals, three lions and brace of hippopotami contributed inti- mately to one seance that I know of and as the darkness was to thick for vision, that night yielded but scanty peace. Hippo are at all times awkward things to get raveled up in the tent ropes.-The Cornhill

The Condor is known to have rolled tre- mendously. In his private letters her commander constantly referred to her rolling as a reason for the substitution of pencil for pen and ink. Referring to one occasion when he took her around Cape Horn on her way to Esquimalt, he spoke of the 'impossibility of sleep, owing to the lateral level of the boat altering every few seconds some thirty five degrees; and added that this was constant cause of complaint among the officers, despite the care he took in ap- portioning the weight so as to keep the ship on an even keel. It is also alleged that when the ship last put to sea she was badly undermanned, and was in sole charge of the commander and one the other officers being sick.

THE MEAT SITU.a4ION.

Whether the prices for meats are nat ural or forced the fact remains that they are getting beyond the means of many and there is serious talk in some quarters about abstaining from the eating of meats until prices come down. For instance, in Attleboro, Massachu- setts, the business men have held a meeting and decided to circulate papers among the residents of the town, pledg- ing each person who signs to abstain for two weeks from the use of meat And this, or something like it, is sug- gested in other places.
 Of course if the people stop eating meats the prices will have to come down, but it is not probable that two weeks of abstention would have much effect. If there is an actual scarcity of animals to eat as good judges of the situation say there is, it will be some time before the supply becomes ade- quate to the usual demand. Meantime It IS pfoDaDle that most or those Wno can afford to eat meat will continue to do so and some who cannot will also continue to do so, because they will not be persuaded that other things are just as good" It is an interesting condition of affairs, and one which is not so easily explained as some say. It will cure itself in time, perhaps about the time the government investigation is finished and the solemn report made.

LORD DUFFERIN'S GREAT MEM
 OPy

Lord Dufferin relates in his rectoral address delivered in 1891 to the students of St. Andrews university that he sat down and wrote out every word of his speech and learned it so carefully by heart that he knew that no untoward accident of Interruption could interfere with it's delivery. The speech lasted an hour and ah alf, and Lord Dufferin was able to go through 1t without once look ing al note. Lord Dufferin had cu- rious practice in Canada, where appar- ently in those days shorthand writers in many places were not plentiful. He frequently, at the request of reporters, rehearsed his speech previous to a meet ing. and he was surprised to find how this enabled him to clarify and con- dense what he intended to say an hour later when he addressed his audience.- London Spectator.

4 DYING IF CT.

It has long been sadly known that
 the native race" in New Haven is dy- ing out, and now we are told that the native race in the United States is not
 holding it's own This conclusion has
 been reached by a German investigator, and a conclusion reached by German investigator is pretty apt to be a. con
 clusion. pr. R. R. Kuczynski, an at tache of one of the statistical bureaus of Germany, came to the United States
 to study our census work obtained a
 bureau, and from the material available in that great storehouse of informa ton extracted interesting and significant facts. It is recognized that in Massa- chusetts vital statistics are gathered with painstaking care, every effort be- ing made to insure accuracy. Dr. kuc- zynski assumes that the conditions pre- vailing in that State in respect to in crease of population prevail also in 
 of births in Massachusetts according to parentage from 1883 to 1897. In this period he found that the annual birth rate among native parents was 1703 per cent, as against 52.16 among the for eign born. The average number of chill dren born to every foreign-born mar ried woman was two-thirds higher than for the native. The proportion of sim gle persons among the adult natives is two-fifths: among the foreign born it is less than one-third. While nearly one half of the natives of Massachuse ts are single, only two-elevenths of the mmi- grant women born in Germany are un- married The average number of chill dren living for every married woman is three-fifths higher among the foreign born than among the natives, ''It is probable" concludes the German statis- tician, that the native population can- not hold it's own. It seems to be dying out"
 The native race in the United States has been pretty good race, but it is probable that it's successor will also amount to something. It is doing pret- ty we'll now, with every indication of doing better

LONG YEARS OF LINKED INTEGRITY IN THE FORD ARMOR
Attempts to Find a Vul- nerable Chin k Will F Fail-The Company Picks Up the Gage and Invites the Inspec- tion of Real Experts and Genuine Connois- seurs.

There is no flaw in the armor built of long years of linked integ- rity wof'n by the George H. Ford Co. Attempts to find a chink or vulnerable spot to stop the progress of this firm in it's sweeping control of the local and vicinity trade will fail.
 A word to the wise is all sufficient at this time to dispel any efforts to discredit what has always been claimed for this house-absolute re- liability.
 Insinuations and innuendo are one thing; proof is another. When it comes to proving true there is due triumphant vindication of the house and a chagrined discontinue for those who would like to see venal transaction made bar sinis- ter of the spotless esoutcheon.
 This, by way of preamble, is a note of caution to those who hear rumors calculated to effect the busi- ness of liquidation now in progress in the auction sale. The gage has been thrown and the house gladly picks it up ready for defense, if de- fence is ever required-which is doubtful
 The charming environments of the sale, it's real bargains, and it's ex- elusive and valuable character are plain as big print to the most skep- tical or sighted Don't be short sighted and miss this oppor- tunity. It comes in this town only once in a lifetime.
 Sale hours are daily from 10.30 to 12.30; 230 to 5.30. All articles can be thoroughly and leisurely in- spected, and the visits of experts and connoisseurs are particularly desired, because the better the ex- pert and the more experienced the connoisseur, the greater will be the glory of the stocks vindication.
 Remember the daily sale hours: TO- 30 to 12.30; 2.30 to 5.80.

Tine washerwoman,ssonG.
(By F, F. Ware ('Ironquill'0, Who Has
 Been Selected for Commissioner of Pen

By E. F. Ware ('Ironquil'), Who H Been Selected for Commissioner of Pen
 sions.)
 In a very humble cot,
 In rather quiet spot,
 In the suds and in the soap, Worked a woman full of hope; Working, singing, all alone, In sort of undertone. With d Savior for friend, He will keep me to the end. Sometimes happpening along, had heard the seniisong, And l often used to smile. More in sympathy than guile; But I never said word In regard to what l heard, As she sang about her friend Who would keep her to the end. Not ill sorrow nor in glee, Working all day long was she, As her children, three or four, Played around her on the hoor But in monotones the song She was hummlng all day long, With the Savior for friend, He will keep me to the end" It's song I do not sing, For l scarce believe q thing Of the stories that are told Of the miracles of old; But know that her belief Is the anodyne of grief, And will always be a friend That will keep her to the end. Just a trihe lonesome she, Just as poor as poor could be, But her spirits always rose Like ethe bubbles in the clothes; And, though widowed and alone, Cheered her with the monotone, Of Savior and a friend Who would keep her to the end. have seen her rub and scrub On the washboard i'll the tub, While the baby sopped in studs, Rolled and tumbled in the duds; Or was padding in the pools With old scissors stuck in spools; Sue still humming of her friend Who would keep her to the end. Human hands and human creeds Have their root in human needs; And 1 would not wish to strip From that washerwoman' lip Any song that she can sing, Any hope that song can brlng; For the woman has a friend Who will keep her to the end.

One million five hundred thousand Russian children every year receive their education in elementary schools maintained by the Orthodox Greek Church. This gives an average of less than forty pupils to each school, but even with this limited number the sum of 200 rubles, or about $105, year, which is the average amount devoted to the maintenance of a school, appears to be absurdly inadequate. Ninety four per cent. of the teachers are them- selves uneducated, and one-third re- ceives less than s25 year. The school houses are almost invaria bly, miserable huts, and many of the schools have neither books for the pupils to read nor pens and ink with which they can write. Nevertheless, the Russian government favors the schools maintained by the Orthodox Greek Church far more than the more efficient schools maintained by the local authorities.
