his jealous labors and his uniform kind

A Queer Rainbow Superstition

The Kurds and Armenians, whose
many folklore stories and tales OF super
stitioiis fancies far exceed those of the
gypsies, have some rainbow beliefs which
are perhaps not duplicated in the popular
notions of any others among the races of
mankind. They hoot at the idea of its
being witness to Gods covenant with
man that the earth will no more undergo
tile ordeal OF food and declare that it was
made for the express purpose of letting
the first man and woman down from
heaven, the man securely fastened to
one end of the great variegated band, the
woman at the other. The end Of time
according to the Kurds, will be ushered
IN by the appearance of four rainbows,
which will cross at the zenith, furnishing
eight pasaageways for God and his hosts.

DO ANIMALS REALLY THINK

eve SO habitually impute thought to
animals that we come unconsciously to
look upon them as possessing this power -
writes John Burroughs in Harper's Maga-
zine. "Thus the dog seems to think
about his dinner when prompted by
hunger or about his home and his master
when separated from them. The birds
seems to think about its mate, its nest, its
young, its enemies. The fox seems to
think about the hound that it hears bay
ing upon its track and tries to elude it;
the beaver seems to think about its dam,
the muskrat about its house in the fall,
the woodpecker about the cell in the
dozy limb which it will need as a lodg-
ing place in the winter-that is, all these
creatures act as if they thought. We
know that under similar conditions We
think, and therefore we impute thought
to them. But of mental images, concepts,
processes like our own, they probably
have none. Innate or inherited impulse,
which we call instinct, and outward
stimuli explain most Of the actions of the
animals"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 11th, 1905.
THERE is no doubt that San Domin-
gan treaty will be confirmed by the
Senate but it will be so little like the
original treaty first submitted as to be
unrecognized by its authors. The his
tory of this treaty is somewhat curious.
The Secretary of State who has during
his eight years management of the de-
partment achieved such big reputation
as diplomatist was i'll and away from the
department during the San DOMINICAN
negotiations. An Assistant Secretary or
shall we say journeyman in diplomacy
bungled the job. The President who
thinks more of results than of verbiage
and whose time was much occupied with
other matters permitted the paper to go
to the Senate as presented and it is prob
able that he is as grateful as he should be
for the careful scrutiny and amendment
that it has received from that body of
lawyers and strict constructionists.

in the Corcoran Art Gallery over two
hundred and fifty OF the Chefs d'oeurves

The death after three days illness of
the venerable Senator Bate of Tennessee
is so far the most conspici u; fatality of
Inauguration day exposure. There are
many other less notable victims 1t is
impossible under usual Fourth of March
Weather conditions that there shall n, t
be many deaths from grippe, pneumonia
and other diseases from exposure. When
one remembers that simple vote of
Congress might change the day of Inaug-
uration from chilly and boisterous March
the Fourth to sunny April the thirtieth,
the day on which the first President was
sworn in it is impossible to regard Con-
gress as other than guilty of man slangh-
ter through laches. On every fourth of
March at the Inauguration ceremonies
hundreds of thousands of people unac-
customed to exposure are in the weather
from five to ten hours, often without
food and it cannot be otherwise than
that many OF them must succumb

There is much interest in Washington
and there will be more or less interest in
the Country in the enterprise of building
great Convention Hall in the National
Capital. There is no city in the country
more eligible or desirable for great con-
ventions than Washington. The Capitol,
the National Library, the National
Museum, the great Department buildings,
the White House, Mount Vernon, Ar
lington, the Washington Monument are
only some of the attractions of interest
to patriotic Americans but there is no
great meeting house. Congress at the
session which has just closed voted to
present to the city of Washington the
United States exhibit building which now
stands in the St. Louis Fair grounds.
The frame work is of iron and it is calcu-
lated that it can be transported to Wash
ington at an expense of not more than
$4,000, and completely rebuilt at an
estimated expense of less than half a
million dollars. 1t will make an admir-
able place for Inaugural balls and for
other great assemblies.

Baptist preachers, humble and OBJ
scure, living on very meagre sala-

born to pe fearful and to confide their

may vary; but there can be no two
opinions as to the existence Of con-

difference in a mans own soul be-

in our opipion Mr.. Dixon has done a
distinct evil and is likely to do more.
