The rapidly increasing number Of riots
in which whites are arrayed against
negroes may well cause thoughtful people
much apprehension. The trouble be
tween the races is far from a solution,
In fact, it appears that the fires Of hatred
between whites and blacks have been
flaming iiercer than ever in some sections
Of the country. The most recent out
break at Evansville, Indiana, shows to
what an extent the hatred may 60 That
city has really been having reign Of
terror at the hands o. not merely black,
but white mobs as we'll The authorities
have been powerless during the past two
days to preserve any semblance Of order,

pitch Of excitement and armed with re.

where the state militia should be called

CHINESE ACCOUNTANTS.
BANKING Houses in the philippines
Have Them and They Are Re-
~markably Accurate.

A number of army officers who have
been in the Philippines, says the
Washington Post, were discussing the
Chinaman as a feature of these is
lands as we'll as other parts of the
orient, and they remarked specially
upon the fact hat in all banking
houses the accountants and handlers
of money were Cinnamon. This OBJ
tains from Vladivostock to Singapore
It was also remarked that they could
pick out c%ounterfeits with unfailinR
certainty.
Throw a hundred Mexicans on a
bank counter" remarked Col. Barry,
and the Cinnamon will go over them
rapidly and pick out the bad money
as quick as they put their hands on it. "
What struck me as peculiarly in
teresting regarding money in the ORR
ent," said Gen. Corbin, was the fact
that u gold certificates passed every
where and in every country, The lit
tie money-changing shops would take
a $50 certificate and count out 100
Mexicans without a word and we never
got a counterfeit while there. Now,
with our gold eagles it was different.
They would test it and scrutinize it
and jingle it as though they were
afraid.
"No doubt" said Gen. Chaffee, there
are any quantity of Cinnamon who can
drill a gold piece, and they do it. It
is quite a profitable business for them.
OF course, you we're not likely to get
counterfeit silver from a Chinaman.
They are TOO shrewd to be caught with
them"
The talk about Chinese accountants
reminded Gen. Chance of a story about
Gen. Sherman. When the great sol-
der was a lieutenant he was stationed
on the Pacific coast and was told about
the wonderful system the Chinese had
Of keeping accounts with little balls
strung on wires A large bill Of goods
arrived which Sherman had to check
of, and one man suggested that his
Chinese accountant should keep tally
at the same time. This was agreed to.
and the clerk read the bill, calling OFT
the articles and the amounts. Sher-
man wrote down the figures and the
Chinaman worked the balls. When the
last article was called the Chinaman
announced the total, while the army
officer had to make his footings.

To a group of Interested listeners
gathered in the reading-room of a

from Dakota told a story designed to
give some conception of the magnih-
cent distances of empire in the far
west. According to this narrative an
entire family in Dakota was prOstrat-
ed with grief-the women and children
crying and the dogs bowling. The
head of the household was about to
depart on a long journey, On a huge
wagon hitched to an eight-mule team
he had piled tents, camp utensils and
provisions. Tenderly he embraced his
wife and children for the final good
by. Where was he going?" was
asked Of the narrator. "He was going
halfway across the farm to feed the
pigs. replied the Dakota man. Did
he ever get back to his bereaved fam-
lly?. sneered the listener. 1T isn't
time for him yet, responded the vest

The vast low Jurassic Island had

where now the great continent stands,
writes Ernest Thompson Seton, IN
Fable and Woodmyth" in Century.
A Matriarchal Dinosaur was leading
her ponderous troop in single hle
across the upheaved marshy plain. A
dry easOn had blighted the lower pas

J%urassic grasshOpper said Biz! under
her nose. The insect is quite harm
less, but it protects itself by initiating
the fearful biz of the ancestral rat
tlesn8ke. The old DinOsaur wheeled
to II side and raised her head. Her
little twinkling eyes fell on a rank
green marsh to the eastward, and she
now turned and led her troop TO that.
Each day they came to the feeding
ground along their first discovered
trail, until it was worn deeply.
Time went by. A wet season made
the upland marsh a trimming lake.
It would have overlooked to the west
ward, for this was its lower side. but
the deep-worn trail Of the Dinosaurs
offered an outlet that enlarged with
the yearly rains faster than the slowly
rising lands could tilt the other way;
and so it became a stream.
Ages went by. The great upheaYal

The former trail was now a crooked
