THE SCOTS GREYs.

The fuss made in America over the
discharge Of the negro troops is not a
fea-bite to what is going on in Scot
land over the withdrawal of the Scots
Greys from Edinburgh. All Scotland
is ready to do what South Carolina was
a little hasty in doing, namely, secede.
There are a million Scotchmen in Amer
lea ready to go back home to fight for
the Greys Here we have the Oldest
dragon regiment in the British do
minions being toyed with by a mere
war secretary. The Greys were organ
lied in 1858, and have a most honor
able record. The colonel-in-c chief of
the regiment is His Majesty the Car
Nicholas II. Possibly there is deep,
dangerous politics in the new order.
Here is a regiment of heavy armed
cavalry 223 years old being unneces-
sarily molested, as it looks to us on
the surface. But there is ever at hand
the same old excuse-'for the good of
the service The banner bears the this
tie within the circle, and the motto of
the order of the Thistle-"Second to
None" On it you will also see such
names as Blenheim, Families, Ouden-
arde. Malplaquet, Dettingen, Waterloo,
BaIakIava and Sebastopol. An eagle
hovers over all. The uniform is a
bright scarlet, with blue facings and
white plumes. The horses are big fell
lows and always gray. The regiment
took its name from their color, and
has retained the old spelling-"Grey

HiE her Salaries.

The New York Herald thinks it al
together proper in view of the in
creased cost of living. that the salaries
of Federal officers, including members
of congress should be increased. But
1t insists that the beginning should be
with the judiciary Of the United States.
1t proceeds:
The salary Of the chief justice Of
the highest tribunal in the land is
$4,000; that of an associate justice Of
the same court is $4,000. The pay Of
the United States circuit judge IS So
600; that Of a district judge is but So,
O00 In this city the compensation Of a
Judge who tries the ordinary lawsuit
upon which the supreme court of the
United States may later pass is ST. 500.
The supreme court is the bull
wark of the country against radical
and intlamed congresses, against knav-
ish and predatory corporations. against
states which alarm the executive by
their Indifference to the federation and
against executives who might alarm
the states by extreme views as to the
use of federal power. This great trib-
unal rises above political. racial and
sectarian considerations. It is the
most powerful and important as we'll
as the most respected court in the
world The expenses Of its members
IN maintaining their positions leave
them little of their salaries at the end
Of the year. 1t is high time that con
gress took cognizanee of this condition
of affairs. in Washington, and in
large cities especially, every considera-
tion requires that the federal judges
should be given a compensation fitting
their station and the demands made
upon them by the expenses of modern
life.

woman Suffrage in Australia.

The argument that women viii not
vote IS completely disproved BY Aus
tralian experience. They not only
vote. but they vote in continually In
creasing numbers as time goes on and
they become educated up TO a sense
Of their political responsibilities and
all that these imply. Not all the states
discriminate in their returns between
men and women voters, but those that
do show something like the following
In South Australia at the last general
election, SO per cent Of the men on
the rolls voted and ~ per cent OF the
women; In Western Australia, 80 per
cent Of the men and Al per cent of the
women voted, at the last federal cleo
ton SIS per cent Of the men voted and
40 per cent Of the women. None Of
the Australian states has yet reached
the extraordinary record Of New Zea-
land. where IN 1902 nearly rs per cent
Of the women electors recorded their
votes as against 76 per cent of their
brothers.-From the North American
Review.

TIMBER FOR WINE CASKS.

The following scarcity of timber
suitable for the manufacture of slaves
is a problem that confronts two con
tinents and in which all the wine drink
ing work, and therefore the civilized
world, is concerned" said I. B. Cold
man, stave grower and shipper Of
Hope. Ark
Timber best suited for manufacture
into slaves comes from Arkansas and
small portions of Louisiana, Texas Ala
bama and Tennessee. The timber has
been cut in larger amounts every year
to meet the growing demand. Prices
have advanced, of course but the de-
mand still advances, for no other wood
can take the place Of that produced in
our section.
Most Of the slaves are shipped to
Barcelona, Spain, where they are used
In the manufacture Of wine casks.
Both Europeans and Americans have
tried to invent something to take the
place of the stave, but so far without
success. Glass and earthen casks have
been tried, but wine does not age the
same in these receptacles and it has
quite a different favor-Washingt

appeared SO long that the sleeves of a
store" coat could hardly have been
expected to cover them all the way
down to the wrists. His black trousers,
too, permitted a very fun view of his
large feet. On his left arm he carried
gray woollen shawl which evidently
served him for an overcoat in chilly
weather. His left hand held a cotton
umbrella Of the bulging kind, and also
a black satchel that bore the marks
of long and hard usage. His right

Advancement of Science.-New York
Dispatch.
The passing Of the blonde? All, yes,
A lot of chaps have noticed that.
And sighted with pangs of near-distress
To hearts that went all pit-a-pat.
The passing of the blonde? All, yes.
With admiration's eyes they stared
Not that they loved brunettes the less,

cared.

AS every fellow makes a guess
At who the charming creature was.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-WHEAT-A new
low record for the May option today
with a little more activity than for
some time in the wheat pit. There
were a good many resting orders dis
lodged to buy the May at TN, after
their execution the market eased OFF an
other half a cent, selling at Il cents
or a break of three-quarters of cent
for the day. The news was quite bear
ish, Liverpool markets being quoted
one-Quarter of q penny lower; receipts
in the Northwest almost double that OF
last year. The selling pressure on the
market seemed to emanate from houses
with Northwestern connections.
The market closed weak al fraction
higher than the lowest prices of the
day.

him in the most familiar style: Hello,

responded in the same manner: Good

laughter at some things he said, which

active speculation for either bull or

sympathetic decline with the weakness
in wheat. Cash business was very dull

WEALTH OF BLACK HILLS.
Annual Output of Gold Mines Alone
Over $IO,OOO,OOO Mark.

Deadwood. S. D.. Dec 2S.-The fame
of the Black Hills of South Dakota has
spread all over this country and into
foreign lands. and the wealth pro-
duced annually from it's gold mines
alone is rapidly approaching the $1O.-
100000 mark, but the future undoubt-
eddy holds still greater fame ard
wealth for this district.
According to recent estimates, based
on United States government surveys
and reports there still remains unmined
in the Black Hills district more than
billion dollars worth Of gold and sill
yer. Tin. copper, lead, coal and mica
have been found in various sections,
and have yielded good results to those
who have worked them. Gypsum in
enormous quantities tops hundreds OF
buttes and ridges; extensive deposits
of limestone. much Of ii of a high
grade, insure an ample supply OF
decorative building material and beau
tiful sandstone, in apparently mex
haustible beds, adds each year an In
creasingly large quota to the riches Of
this western part Of the state.
Ignite and granite are found in
large quantities. The amethyst. the
garnet, tho topaz, the sardonyx and
many other gems and beautiful rare
crystals and quartz of several colors.
all are TO be counted in estimating the
wonderful mineral resources OF the
Black Hills, but when they are all
enumerated other sources of natural
wealth present themselves for eonsid-
Grafton in this marvellous country.

ORDER OF THE GARTER.

1t is incorrect to say. as many his

Garter was confined to men. Queen
Victoria was and Queen Alexandria is
(since 1S9) a member of the order;
and other ladies have been enrolled at
various times, wearing the badge on
the left arm. Once the ribbon was
black as in Queen Elizabeth's time;
now it Is a beautiful dark blue.
Amongst our beloved Queens other
