If the tribe grows smaller there will be more reservation lands to be sold to the government and fewer Indians among whom to di- Vlde the proceeds. There are members or the tribe, however, who declare that IL will not decrease and that the edu- cation and the comforts which the government promises them will cause gradual increase, but that will be against all Indian precedent.

CHANGES.

You were once so sunny and bright" he said coinplainingly, "a regular ray Of sunshine. What has changed you?''
 "Yes, replied she, T suppose I am what might be termed an ex-ray of sun- shine, but it is your constantly coming home cross that has spoiled my cheer fulness."
 What" exclaimed he angrily, If it is a woman's place to dispel her hus- bands gloom, isn't it the husband s business to furnish something for her to dispel?"

4 JAPANESE QUESTION.

Russia has found 1t impossible to handle the Japanese question, but we in this country may have better luck if we begin in time. A prominent busi- ness man of San Francisco says: The Japanese are landing on our shores at the rate of from 1000 to 2,000 every week, and with their coming our people do not rejoice so freely over Japanese victories as those who do not realize the new problems with which We have to deal. We do not like the Japanese. We are frank about it. We do not like them because we have found them not to be relied upon and because they take the bread out of the mouths of our own people. So great has become the storm against the Japanese that two big mass meetings have been held to protest against their coming and to indorse a law similar to that which excluded the Chinese, Of the higher class we have nothing to complain, but as it is almost wholly the lower classes that come, we think we have good grievance.
 The Japanese question here will be complicated. Recently the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury department prepared 8 statement showing that the trade of the United States with Japan has assumed considerable proportions and gives promise Of steadily increas- ing. That is fact which must be con- sidered when steps are taken by Con gress to restrict Japanese immigration to this country. Another fact of equal significance is the eagerness displayed by American capitalists and investors to buy Japanese bonds on the two oc- casions on which these securities have been offered for sale in this market. Last week the bonds offered in this country were oversubscribed many

What is the future of acetylene? asks Professor Lefevre of Nantes. ''Is it destined, as certain of it's champions affirm, to supplant all other illuminants and become the one source of light? It is difficult to foresee the future, but a compfete triumph does not seem to be probable. Moreover, the cost will cer- iainly play an important role: The de- welopnnent of illumination by means of acetylene gas is subordinate to the sell Ing price of calcium carbide. Acetylene has to fight against two powerful rivals. Coal gas, thanks to it's numerous by products, often permits of the estab- Iishment of prices so low as to defy competition. Electric illumination has also numerous advantages, even when more expensive, as for example, inten- sity, security, preservation of the purity Of the atmosphere, suppression of smoke, odor, etc.,

A Lancashire (England) mechanic, Dennis Flanagan, it is reported, has invented what has long been needed but unsuccessfully attempted-a ma- chine which will sew direct from two reels of thread, thus obviating the winding of spools and threading of the shuttles. Experts are quoted to the effect that if the inveneion is put on the market in a thorough manner it will revolutionize the sewing machine trade of the world. The sewing ma chine has been perfected in successive steps from the crude ideas of Weisen- thai in 1755; Stone and Henderson worked on 1t in 1894; Madersburg at Vienna adopted their ideas and im- proved on them in 1874, and finally our own Elias Howe completed the ma chine,

The late John W. Mackay was at- tending to business at the great Com stock mine one day when a party of tourists approached and asked if he knew of a guide who would take them around. Evidently none of them knew him. Mackay offered to escort them and did so, explaining the. whole mys- .tery of gold and silver quartz mining When they emerged the visitors club bed together and made up a small sum for the guide. Among them was Am drew D. White, recently ambassador to Germany, and at that time president of Cornell University. "Here, my man, take tfis," he said.

Chorus.

When father took his glass eye out at
 night His countenance was such a funny
 Peeals of laughter filled the place,
 For he had an open face When father took his glass eye out at
 night. My hair is getting thinner than it used
 to be, l know, And though I've travelled over many
 lands, Remembrance waits me backward to
 the dear old long ago, Once more feel the touch of mothers
 hands! The house is gone--Tll never lie be-
 heath it's roof again, They've built big skyscraper on the
 site. But still my thoughts keep turning to
 my happy childhood when Dear father took his glass eye out at
 night The sod is green above them, but I
 never shall forget As mother washed the dishes after sup
 per had been ate In fancy I can see her standing therei Her manner was so gentle and she was
 so fair to see That thinking of her fills me with de-
 light. But things, alas. can never be the way they used to be When father took his glass eye out at
 night!
