those of Great Britain. We have,
moreover, in China held much more
consistently to the idea OF the open
door than in any other part OF the
globe. PROFESSIONALLY we should
be glad, for the sake of the success
of the Exposition at St. Louis, to
have as good show as possible
from all countries, but we have only
ourselves to blame if we do not get
the samples of goods which We shut
out of our markets. Yet it is not i'm
probable that our British friends
might find advantage in the long
run if they should show their goods
distinctly labeled with the prices
at which they can sell them and
those at which they could sell them
were it not for the tariff tax. That
might be objected to by the au-
thorities, but it would be only fair
to our guests and to the consumers
at home.

WOLF HUNT IN
WEBB COUNTY.

A very successful wolf hunt took
place recently in Webb county, and
a large number of coyotes was
rounded up. An average wolf drive
takes in twenty square miles. Four
captains take charge, each on one
side of the big square. They set
their men in motion at $50 o'clock
in the morning, and all the hunters
simultaneously begin to push in
toward the center. As they 90 they
drive along in front of them all the
animals and birds in the square.
The hounds are let loose in the
center and drive the wolves to the
sides, where they are shot down.
Shot-guns only are used. The clos
ing scene is usually a large field,
where the game has small chance
to hide or escape.-Exchange.

TARIFF AND THE
THE
WORLDS FAIR.
New York Times.

New York Times.
We learn from the Tribune's
London correspondent, who is not
apt to forward news discouraging
to protectionists, that there is a
good deal of difficulty in inducing
British firms to exhibita at St. Louis.
The reason assigned is the belief
that the American tariff makes it
very hard if not impossible to sell
English goods in this country, and
there is no use in showing goods
that cannot be sold. 1t is pointed
out that the sum appropriated by
the Chinese Government to provide
for the part to be taken in the Ex
position by Chinese merchants and
manufacturers is S950,000. or twice
as much as the British Government
proposes to grant. This is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that our
tariff weighs less heavily on the
chief exports of China than on

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILLPAY

Mexican Herald.
1t is generally understood that
the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany Will settle the claims for the
wreck which resulted in the death
of Captain Treviho, Lieutenant San
tos and Senior Arispe without let
ting the matter reach the courts.
1t is said that the company is will
ing to pay the sum of $4,000 gold
to the heirs of the men who were
killed and it is thought that this
will be satisfactory to all concern
ed.
General Trevifio has benin San
Antonio ever since the terrible dis
aster, pushing the claims of the rel
atives of the deceased men. In the
cases of Captain Trevilo and Lieu
tenant Santos, the awards will go
to their heirs, but in the case of
Senior Arispe, the awards will go to
his parents, as he has no heirs.

BRIDGING n Chasm,

DR.. Alexander Mckenzie in one of
his sermons tells pretty anecdote of
the early life of Louis AgaSsiZ, the
great scientist. AS child Agassiz
lived in Switzerland, on the border Of
lake. He had younger brother,
and one day the two lads started to
cross the lake. 1t was frozen. and the
ice looked safe enough, but their moth
er watched them.
The boys got on very well till they
came to a crack in the ice, perhaps
foot wide. The mother could not call
to them, although her heart failed her
as she thought, Louis will get over
we'll enough, but his little brother will
try to step over and will fall in"
AS she watched she saw Louis get
down on the ice. his feet on one side
of the crack, his hands on the other
side. making a bridge.of his body, and
the little brother crept over him to the
other side. Then Louis got up and
they went on their way.

No Danger While the Men SwOre.

A story of his early days, when he
was a sailor before the mast, Is told
by United States Senator George Per
kins. of California. He recalls time
when tremendous storm made 1t look
as though the stanch ship would have
to surrender to the power Of King Nep-
tune. In the midst Of the excitement
a minister, who was one of the pas.
sengers, asked the captain If he could
have prayers.
"Oh, never mind about the prayers. ~
said the captain. "The men are swear
ing too hard to stop for prayers. and as
long as you hear them swearing" add
ed the captain. there is no danger"
The dominic returned to his state
room. A little while later. when the
storm grew worse, the preacher went
on deck to see what the sailors were
doing. Then he went back to his wife,
"Thank God" he calculated. fervent-
ly, those men are still swearing"

So they We're placed under a clucking
bantam hen. who proved to be a most
excellent mother. TIMER birds could
hardly be imagined than the little part
ridges, which Matched in three weeks.
They were no larger than Il good-slZed
bumblebee and just about the same
color. Yet three hours after Matching
they ran so fast that it was difficult
to catch them, and when cOrnered they
would crouch fiat. with head and body
pressed close to the sand. resembling
a little dried leaf or tiny clOd Of
earth. Their wings grew with aston
ishng rapidity. while for a week or
two their bodies remained as small as
ever. The bantam hen was Il particu-
larly small one. yet she looked gigantic
when compared with these tiny bun
dies Of down. One of them died when
about two weeks Old, and its body
Slipped easily into IL half-ounce Vial.
When about fifteen days old one cscap-
ed from It's runway and went straight
up into the air almost twenty feet. 1t
was found necessary. in order to recap
ture the little bird. to let the hen looSc
and wait until the mites of Il parlrid%"
crept under her
One very amusing thing happened
daily. The partrid.es would Siluygle
under the bantam and gradually work
up under her wings until close to her
shoulders. When she stood up to feed
she would naturally hold her wings
more closely to her body than when
broOdlng. and as a result the little
birds would be held prisoners in the
hollow under her wing. Their little
feet would dangle down and kick Wig
OrOusly as their owners tried to get
out. The hen could hear their peeping
and would look all around the runway
for them, ignorant of their where
abOuts. AS she walked about or
scratched she looked exactly as per-
son does who carries bundle under
each arm. Before long something
would cause her to flap or stretch her
wings, when the little fellows would
drop out. They were comfortable
enough in their unusual position, but
the movements and clucks of the hen
made them eager to get out.-Country
