A Story of storey,

An English paper tells little anec-
dote of the distinguished painter Sto-
rey in his capacity Of teacher of per-
spective at the Royal academy: On one
occasion Mr.. Storey accepted an invita-
ton to dine with the wealthy-and
Philistine-father of one of his pupils.
Over the undeniable port the by no
means doting parent inquired how his
son was getting on, and, although the
kindliest of men. Mr.. Storey could not
bring himself to say much that was
favorable. "Humph!" grunted the man
of money. We'll, 1 hope he will turn
out an artist, for am quite sure he's
not fit to be anything else"

The Oak,

England won her supremacy on the
seas with her ships of British oak,
wood that is renowned for strength
and durability. When the Spanish ar
mada set sail for England its COM
mander had express orders from the
king of Spain to burn or otherwise de-
stroy every oak in the forest of Dean,
then the great source of shipbuilding
supplies. But, as blunt old Drake
prophesied, Philips beard was singed
instead. Admiral Nelson declared that
without heart of oak" the British
navy and empire would soon come to
IN end.
The oak is beautiful at all seasons.
From the time 1t opens its delicate
green buds, close pressed in their resin
Gus overcoat and emerging fame tip
ped with bronze or crimson, until they
come again an acorn bearing spray is
most artistic, and the ruddy hue Of the
tree in autumn combines we'll in ma

Presents In Japan,

The foreigner should beware of max
ing presents to any Japanese girl un-
less he is bent upon matrimony To
present her with any sort of gift,
even though it be only posy, will be
regarded as proposal of marriage,
and to accept the present, though not
a word Of love or matrimony be pass
ed, is a sign that she accepts you. Gal
liant Americans have got into serious
trouble and found it necessary to leave
the country at night to escape a bind
ing engagement which they thought
lessly incurred by giving to a maiden
some trihe.

Brides Priced.

To us 1t seems curious whim ON the
part of our ancestors of the eighteenth
century that in their marriage an
nouncements they should so often
choose and with such seeming compla-
cency to enlighten the world with re-
gard to the amount of fortune received
with the brides. Here are two cases i'll

To Make Red Ink

Red ink is easily made by amateurs
who follow this recipe: Get one ounce
bottle and see that it is perfectly clean
and dry. Place in it one teaspoonful
of aqua ammonia, gum arabic the size
of two peas, and add six grains of car
mine. Fill up the bottle with clear
soft water, and after standing little
while it will be fit for use.

Senator Hoar in his "Reminiscences
says that Daniel Webster had tire
some habit in his public speeches of
groping after the most suitable word
after this fashion: "Why is it, Mr..
Chairman, that there has gathered,
congregated; this great number of in
habitants, dwcllers, here; that these
roads, avenues, routes of travel, high
ways, converge, meet, come together
here!" When the speech was printed
all the synonyms but the best one
would be left out.

The Streets of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, in Holland, Il city of ten
miles in circumference, is mostly built
on piles driven into the sandy subsoil,
but the flowing of the tide and the
debris of the Ainstel river have made
ninety islands, and the city has more
canals than streets. The watery ways
are traversed by over 800 bridges, so
that Amsterdam has earned the desig-
nation of the Venice of the North.

Monster Project
for New Mexico

Present indications are that a IA
vOrable report will be made at once
on the proposition for a great irriga-
ton dam just below the site of the
Elephant butte project in the Mesil-
la valley and that II will be favora-
bly, considered by the government.
Not only are the reports OF the en-
gineers encouraging. but there has
been a sudden and remarkable
change of heart and front in Ell Paso
Texas, whence most OF the opposition
has come in the past. With the op-
position Of Mexico and the Texas
delegation in congress removed, there
is small doubt that the Elephant
butte site would be utilized at
very early date
of its feasibility the Denver News
gives the following interview with one
of the reclamation engineers who has
just come from survey of this and
other projects in New Mexico.
THE prospect for government con.
structiOn of the lower Rio Grande ir-
rigation project. the most stupendous
irrigation scheme in the world. is
very bright. Engineer Arthur Powell
Davis of the reclamation service. ac-
companied by Engineer Harry A.
storrs, returned to Denver last night
much pleased with their preliminary
investigation OF the immense project.
the largest yet undertaken by the
service.
The engineering features will con-
sist of dam $50 feet high and a
quarter of mile wide. located near
Engle. on the lower Rio Grande. This
will back up the water 40 miles be-
tween the rock walls of the canvon.
AT the dam the water will be 175
feet deep. This will make the lare-
est artificial reservoir in the world.
1t will conserve 1000. .0OO-acre feet
or zoo. 1000, 100000 gallons of water at
one time. This will make it twice as
large as the great Pathfinder dam on
the North Platte and much larger
than the immense Salt river reser-
voir in Arizona
In the dam itself there will be
$4,000 cubic feet of masonry. 10
times that to be used in the Pathfind-
er dam, and $4,000 barrels of ce-
ment- The work on the reservoir
alone will cost $500. 900. The re-
naming s2.O0O.0OO will be expended
on the canals and diversion dams.
Five years. it is estimated, will be
taken to construct this marvellous
piece of engineering.
The cost per acre for the construc-
tion will be $40. which would be con-
sidered high but for the excellent
character and general fertility of the
soil, which will bear fruit and alfal-
ia in abundance when sufficient
moisture can be secured.

DOG AS A WITNESS.
Wag OF Canine's Tail Decides Sensa-
tional Robbery Case.

When jury in the superior court
of Trinity county, at Weaverville to-
day awarded All Get, a Chinaman, a
verdict of s5s7.+5 against Charles
Carr. it virtually decided that the
robbery committed at the Carr mine
on Trinity river. by a masked high
wayman on September 13, last, was
fake, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. In that robbery the China
man lost s5s7.45 under very peculiar
circumstances.
Carr had just had a settlement
with him and had stacked the coin
upon the table for All Get to take
All Get had just given a RECENT in
full for the money. when a masked
robber entered and with a revolver
held Carr and All Get at bay, took
the coin and made his escape.
The Carr mine is at a lonely spot
on Trinity river between Junction
and Douglas City, singular place
Tor bandit to appear at such an
opportune moment. The more All
Get thought about the incident. the
II httE d genuine rob-
berry. He brought a civil suit to re-
cover the money stolen. That was
the case decided today. The jury de-
cided that All Get was not only enti-
tied to s5s7.45, which the alleged
bandit took, but interest from the
date of the holdup.
The account of the actions of a
dog at the time of the robbery was
Importance evidence. All Get testi-
fled that the Carr dog always barked
viciously when strangers came upon
the premises, but when the supposed
bandit came the dog was friendly
and wagged his tail familiarly.
There will be no criminal prosecu.
tion for the holdup, as it is believed
that justice is satisfied by All Ge,
getting justice for the spoils of the
robbery with interest. The judgmen,
is as good as coin. for the Carr mine
Is valuable one.

PREVENTED A MASSACRE.
American Consul at Harput Turned
Aside Turkish Vengeance.

New York, Nov. 5.-A recent dis
turbance between Moslems and Ar
menians in Van, Turkey, would in all
likelihood have grown into a riot and
perhaps a massacre of Armenians.
had it not been for the presence of
the American consul from Harput,
DR.. Thomas II. Norton.
Details Of the trouble are learned
from advices just received by the
Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions- 1t seems that the trouble was
started by the deposition of four
Moslem officials by the Vail. and for
the purpose of avenging themselves
by making trouble for him, the four
and their friends started gun firing
in the streets. in which one Moslem
was killed.
The soldiers in the city, already in
half rebellious state, took up the
matter and marched through the
streets shooting at Christians The
whole place was thrown into an up
roar of fear and excitement and a
thousand Armenians fled to the mis-
sionary compound.
The English consul was absent, but
II happended that DR.. Norton was
there and the American flag was fly
ing over the mission compound. With
the French and Russian consuls and
several American missionaries. Dr.
Norton called on the Vail. The lat
ter assured them Of his ability to
control the situation, but there was
doubt as to whether he could do so.
especially as it seemed likely that the
revolutionists would become active.
All day the soldiers paraded the
streets, shooting, clubbing and stab
bing Christians wherever found. The
people had, however, shut themselves
up in houses or in mission premises,
SO but five were killed. although a
number were wounded.
The missionaries and the consuls
were able to secure a promise from
the leaders that they would leave the
city. This promise was kept and the
trouble died down. The resident of
Van who sent the advices to the Pres
byterian board says that the great
danger. and 1t is an ever present dan
ger. lay In the probable rising Of the
Kurds.
II they had come into the city. ac-
cording to this informant, nothing
could have prevented a massacre,
both In the city and the villages.
They had been waiting months for
an opportunity to strike. But IN re-
sponse to the frequent kilograms
sent by the consuls to Constantinople
strong orders came forbidding the
entrance into the city Of the Hamidia

Vienna. Nov. THE most talked OF
person throughout the dual empire
at the present time is Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, nephew OF En-
peror Francis Joseph and heir pre-
sumptive TO the throne. Attempts
are no longer made TO conceal the
fact that the venerable emperor is
fast sinking, and that it is only a
question of months and perhaps
weeks. before the Archduke will be
called upon to ascend the throne of
the Hapsburgs and take up the diff
ficult task of maintaining order in
the cOnglomerate empire and pre-
venting it from falling asunder.
The Archduke, though still far
from being popular. has succeeded
in rising in the public regard, espe-
cially since his morganatic marriage
four years ago to Countess Chotek.
From a rather wild and profligate
bachelor he has been transform
ed into a model husband The only
fear expressed as to his prospective
accession to the throne is that he
will be a reactionary ruler. He
lacks individuality and is known to
be under the clerical influence of
his wife. He is especially unpop-
ular with the Hungarians and on
more than one occasion he has
shown great want of tact by wound
ing their national pride. He may be
said to be popular only with the Bo-
hemians. who look to gaining their
autonomy under his rule, thanks to
the influence of his wife. who is by
birth a Czech.

Among the consequences of the
Russo-Japanese war there is one at
least which was not expected; it is
the rise in the price of paper. Since
the commencement Of the conflict
the American newspapers have in
creased their circulation to such
an enormous degree that the paper
industry cannot meet demands. Scan
dinavia, Germany and Finland have
parted with all their reserves of
pulp to American buyers. The Great
Northern Paper Company. which
had monopolized all the available
stocks Of pulp in Canada, has been
compelled to limit production owing
