what should be done to meet the dan
ger, if there be any. In fact, there is
nothing better for an individual or
community than to stop and think We
rush along in our mad race, needless
of the future. To many people the
close Of the nineteenth century and
the opening of the twentieth is not full
Of promise for the higher ideals Of
life; it seems to them that every thing
Is being sacrificed to the desire of
getting rich; that religion, conscience,
truth and virtue are at discount, and
the world only thinks Of who will win
in the race of pil'ng up millions. 1t is
certainly time for serious thought
Heretofore we have been a nation in
fast ships, cables, the intercourse Of
people, the demands of commerce, cir
cumstnnces over which we had no con-
troll, have forced us from this position
and we stand forth to-day full-grown
and compelled to take our share of the
responsibilities of the world.
The crisis, Mr.. Ingalls, shows, is up
on us. Our fleets and armies are in
the Orient; we are in possession Of
new lands and countries; we stand,
as it were, sponsor for all the repub-
lies and nations of North and South
America. When President Cleveland
took his stand in the Venezuelan case
and the country supported him we
were committed to certain duties and
responsibilities in reference to all our
neighbors, and we cannot get away
from them. The Spanish war and sub.
sequent negotiations placed on us the
burden Of controlling and developing
other countries.
In connection with these imminent
and overwhelming international issues.
as Mr.. Ingalls, proceeds to show, we
are confronted with further serious
question, which is continually raised
and which must be considered-the
struggle between capital and labor.
The organization Of the most immense
trusts or corporations ever known has
brought this to the front Certainly
there are grave issues to be settled by
us as people and rs nation. Are
we prepared to assume all these re-
sponsibilities and can we successfully
manage them and still maintain our
republic, still preserve "a government
of the people, for the people and by the
people e?"-Louisyille Courier Journal.

VOLCANOES IN A LAKE,
A Remarkable Body of Water Near the
Mexican Boundary.

A Remarkable Body of Water Near the
Mexican Boundary.
Squire Redwine, who has been in
Phoenix for several days, yesterday
described smoking lake not far from
the country where he lives. The lake
is about forty miles from the town Of
Imperial, and twenty-one miles south
Of Mexico. 1t lies within the Cocopah
country at the base of the mountains,
even below the foothills, but it has not
been there very long. 1t is on the
Mexican side of the line 1t used to be
in California and was supplied with
water by the Chino River but the
MeXicans damned that stream and
the water was turned into the Cocopah
River, which feeds the new lake and
does little else
Within the boundaries Of the new
lake there has been for several years
what the Indians believed to be a vol
canO. Smoke was almost constantly
rising from the ground, but there had
been no other sign of an eruption The
water Of the lake now covers the vol
cano to a depth of from five to ten
feet. Ever since the water has been
there there has been trouble and it is
getting worse every day. The Indians
have moved from that neighborhood
and the whites in the settlement twen-
ty miles north are thinking of moving.
The lake is about fourteen miles long,
but not of great width.
At first the disturbance was confined
to that part of the water in the vicin-
ity of the Volcano but now the water
is boiling over a considerable part of
it's area and explosions are growing
more and more frequent. People liv-
ing in the neighborhood of TeXico are
often awakened by them in the night
time. Eruptions are going on all the
time but they are generally Of suffi-
cient force only to throw up the water
to a height of Il few feet That makes
great distance. But occasionally the
eruption breaks through the water and
shoots mud into the air at height of
forty feet. Whenever this happens the
noise can be heard and flame can be
seen for miles. 1t was such demon
strations as these that frightened the
Indians away. There are boats on the
lake and parties have started out to the
volcano, but they have always turned
back without completing the investiga-
ton. One party which came back re-
ported seeing an area of mud forty
feet square thrown fifty feet into the
air. The level of this lake is several
feet below sea level.
The whole Cocopah country has been
a volcanic region. The side of the
mountains and the country for con-
siderable distance around are covered
with sulphur. Within the memory of
some of the older residents of Arizona
one of the volcanoes in the mountain
range was active.-Arzona Republic

Feeding Pumpkins to Stock.

There is an idea among farmers that
pumpkin seeds are injurious to stock.
and especially to swine. There is no
good foundation for this belief, al
though, without doubt. if hog was
permitted to eat all the pumpkin seeds
IT could without eating any Of the flesh
they would make him ill. Pumpkins
should be freely fed to stock, using
them as other green crops, such as po-
tatoes, carrots and the like are used,
az appetizers and feeding them In
small quantities just before the regular
meal II given after the regular meal
the animals will not eat SO freely of
them. In feeding pumpkins to hogs,
horses and cows, simply cut them In
half and let the animal do the rest. In
feeding them to- sheep they must be
cut in smaller pieces, and it is a good
plan to sprinkle little salt over the
pieces until the sheep get used to the
taste. All crops of this nature are d.

ton. AS a rule, dairymen do not feed
cows enough succulent foods during
the winter. It does not seem to occur
to them that an animal that has been
on pasture all the summer through
should need anything other than plen-
ty of grain and hay. The writer once
paid as high as 50 bushel for carrots
for stock feeding, and considered that
the sum was made good by having
less trouble with indigestion among
the cows and especially saving annoy

OUTLOOK IN UNITED STATES.
May Grave Issues to Be eettled b,
Ue az a Nation

May Grave Issues to Be eettled by
Us az a Nation.
The Social Service Magazine has an
essay upon the ruling conditions and
current outlook in the United States
from NJ. e. Ingalls,, president of the
Big -Four Railway System, which is so
suggestive, and drawn upon lines SO
JeNersonian, as to invite the serious
attention Of intelligent readers and to
justify more than passing comment
Born, like SO many successful Amer
leans, farmers boy, Mr.. Ingalls, merg-
ed tho man of affairs enough with the
man Of books to evolve in one and the
same personality both the thinker and
the actor upon the stage Of real life.
Whatever he says Is weighty, because
1t springs from mind richly endowed
and highly trained, and fortified by
varied experience.
In this latest contribution to the res
ervoir of contemporary thought, Mr..
ingalls, recognises the revolutionizcd
elements no less than the momentous
problems with which we have to deal.
Upon the very threshold of the new
century, as he clearly points out polit-
ical events and business conditions are
crowding each other SO fast that we
stop and wonder what is to happen
next. New developments, new meth
dds, new conditions, new obliga tions,
are upon us. To many the clouds in
the horizon have an angry look and
they fear for the future of the nation.
While Optimists, like Mr.. Ingalls,, may
not share their fears, they agree that
the national safety depends upon the
virtue and integrity Of our citizens,
and it is just as we'll to look the situa-
tion over and make up our minds as to

Critics allege that the modern En-

discriminate use. There is some truth
in the statement, for. when one comes
to think of it, almost any remark one
makes to the merest acquaintance,
even on a first introduction, is met by
a smile, writes a reporter for the Lon
don Graphic. There is no mirth in it
it is only muscular movement, made,
seemingly, to show polite interest. 1t
reminds one of the Japanese woman,
who must always smile, even in deep
est sorrow or distress of mind, and
who must never on any account show
a depressed countenance in public. or
even in the family circle, should she be
addressed by a relative to whom she
owes respect.
The effort to initiate the viyacity Of

SAINT AND JOSS in NEW YORK.
A Com mparison Of Christian and Bud.

Comparison OF Christian and Bud.

Long missionaries, whose chron-
ologic notions were q little bit con-
fused, declared that Buddhism was q
palpable imitation of, II not deliber-
ate steal from Christianity. Besides
the similarities in tenet were those in
ritual and ceremony. This likeness
may be seen by any New-Yorker for
himself. The heavy immigration Of
Neapolitans and Sicilians has produced
several celebrate Italys in New York,
which celebrate the festas of home
with more enthusiasm even than is OBJ
served in the fatherland. A feature Of
these celebrations is the presentation
of votive candles to patron saints and
to the Virgin.
On the other hand, in Chinatown
nearly every grocery store carries
stock Of Oriental vouve candles, which
are presented to Buddha; the goddess
of mercy, Qwang Yin; the god of war,
Qwang Ii, and the god of literature,
Man-Mo-Mew. These candles are
made to suit all tastes, as we'll as all
conditions Of the pocket book They
range from poor, cheap, little red af-
fairs like the Christmas tree candles
up to stately creations, four, five and
six feet in length. The Italians use
both red and white, while the Chi
nese confine themselves almost exclu-
sively to red. They use white and yell
low upon special occasions, white
candle being symbolic of death and a
yellow one of heaven, or the son of
heaven, who is the emperor of the
celestial kingdom.
Formerly both the Chinese and Ital-
!ans depended for their candies upon
importing merchants. In the last few
months the manufacture has sprung
up In New York and now attains fair
proportions. In many respects the
New York candles are better bits of
workmanship than the imported ones.
The latter are usually softer and
greasier than the former and produce
smoker light. The home made are

Both italian and Chinese, saws the

which is really shell within which
the candle itself is placed and held in
position by means Of a helical spring
at the bottom of the shell. These
shells are often profusely decorated
and are strikingly handsome. The
Italians prefer as ornamentation leaf
work and geometrical patterns, while
the Chinese like minute -reliefs Of

A Hard. Preferred.


There is striking analogy between
the shoulders of a horse and the hand
of man. Each is respectively the
lever by which the power is applied.
Broadly speaking. every implement de-
signed for the use of man is provided
with handle, and this handle is made
to fit the hand, not the hand for tie
handle. 1t is about certain size, is
rounded smooth and hard; at least it is
never made soft, with a view of being
easier on the hand.
The three qualifications last named
should be present in the horse collar
II the collar is the proper length and
fits the horse, and is stuffed full and
round, it may be hard as iron without
danger of calling the shoulder Ger
tainly the collar must fit the horse ex.
actly. OF course. the names must be
drawn up high enough so that the
draught will not center on the shoulder
joint. The logic Of this is simple. If
the handle of manual implement
gals the hand it is because of its
roughness or improper shape never
because 1t Is too hard. If it is to be
continuously used the man does not
put on mitten in warm weather to
overcome a defect in it: neither does
he demand that the handle be made Of
something soft. but simply that it be
properly shaped, smooth and hard. The
collar which is round and hard rolls on
