the reception room. Once and again I
saw his eye search out this soiled and
despatched soldier with the most ten
der look. Then came more vacant
space between the two. At length Mr..
Lincoln, with an enormous stride and
long outreaching arm, advanced,
grasped this soldier by the hand, with
greeting that must have been seen and

PREDICT WAR WITH AMERICA.
Venezuelan Officials See Only One
Outcome of Asphalt Row.


Outcome of Asphalt aOw.
War with the United States over
fifty miles of swamp land is predicted
by leading Venezuelan officials. The
strip was under control of the asphalt
trust until the beginning of the long
series Of difficulties that now may end
in contest with America.
All the turmoil, bloodshed. revolution
and international controversies have
their origin in this speck of territory.
Upon its proper development depends
the wealth Of the nation; for it is the
natural outlet for all the resources Of a
country SO rich in the earth's treasures
realized. 1T was granted to the as
phalt trust with the agreement that it
would be developed. Canals were to be
dug so that the boats could sail up the
river to the gold mines, the silver
mines, the oil wells and the rich coffee
plantations Railroads were to have
been built. One Of the Venezuelan gov
ernment's principal complaints against
the American asphalt trust is that it
never fulfilled any of these promises.
All the trust did was to push it's own
boats into the pitch lakes load them
and take away the valuable natural
product.
The district has remained impover-
ished because undeveloped. It's 3,OOO,-
900 people were poor because they could
not get their wealth Sold The rail-
roads and the canals promised never
materialized into anything better than
mule caravans and canoes. The Gus
toms which composed the chief income
to the national treasury fell off, for the
asphalt was free of duty.
Then the temper of this mixed race
of Spanish, negroes, and natives reach
ed the boiling point. They hated these
1000 white men and their trust greed.
They made life dangerous for the for
eigners. Suits were filed in the shaky
courts Of the country to try to get back
the asphalt wealth given away Castro
found he was fighting the most expert
trust lawyers, men who knew other
tricks besides those of the courts Revo-
lutionary leaders took advantage of the
turmoil to start internal troubles. Ev-
erybody in Venezuela believes that the
Matas rebellion was financed by the
trust-and all VeneZuelans insist that
it was Castros duty to the people to
dispossess the trust.
Meanwhile this land of wonderful
wealth lies like shining diamond in a
hill Of sand. It's Brazil wood, coral
trees, indigo, rubber, bananas remain
in the forest. Its gold and silver and
copper and marble and granite are still
in the earth, valueless to Venezuela and
the commercial world

Defective designing was the cause of
the collapse Of the cantilever bridge
across the st. Lawrence River at Que
bee several months ago, according to
the report Of the royal commission ap.
pointed to make an investigation. The
designer used the standard formulas in
computing the strains, but in the opin-
ion of the commission he should have
modified them, as the bridge was larger
than any that had hitherto been at
tempted ON the cantiIever principle 1t Is
easy to say this now, for all engineers
know more about the subject than be-
fore the falling bridge demonstra ted
that the old formulas were incorrect.
But 1t is important to future bridge
builders, as well as to the public, that
an adequate explanation of the Quebec
accident has been found.

ZUNI INDIAN BASKETS.
Made by Expert Women and CO1Ored
to Suit Intended Use.


to Suit Intended Use.
The Zuni Indians make great use of
baskets, especially in connection with
grinding -four. They commonly employ
for this purpose coiled baskets which
they obtain by trade from the Apache
and Piute, and value highly. They,
themselves, manufacture wicker bas-
kets which are not much esteemed. The
industry is entirely confined to women.
They employ an awl of deer bone, and
use some six kinds Of willow, which
they make into circular trays and
used for baskets to hold paper bread in
the house, the willow giving it a salt
favor, and another kind, smooth"
willow, for baskets to hold bread at
meals; white and yellow willow bas-
kets are used for corn meal; those of
red willow as colanders for washing
wheat and hominy, and those Of max
tsu-tsi as sieves for wheat and beans.
White willow baskets are painted with
white clay, stained red, yellow or black
with native dyes or now dyed with
aniline dyes, for use In dances. Either
white willow, or all the different kinds
of willow mixed together, are employed
for this purpose. Sacred baskets, tha-
li-nai, are used to hold plume sticks
and masks.
The women have a dance in the fall
called Ahyuna, in which they use bas-
kets painted with different colors. It
is said that the name is Pima, and that
the dance, which is to secure rain. was
brought to Zuni not many years ago by
two old men who visited the Pima with
Mr.. Gushing. An inverted painted bas-
ket, corresponding with the box or
gourd resonator of the HOpi, is put
under the notched stick, ki-wi-a-nan-
mai, which is scraped with a stick as
an accompaniment to dances.
The Zuni also manufacture small
globular baskets Of salt willow in
which they collect locusts used as food.
Painters to carry peaches. melons. GU
cumbers and other fruit are made Of
red willow. Twilled baskets of Yucca.
similar to those seen at other pueblos.
are used to dip up salt from the Salt
lake. The art of making these bas-
kets, which are called ho- tsi-lai, was
learned from Acoma. The Zuni also
make rectangular twilled tray of the
same material, with an edge of cedar
or oak, which they use to put paper
bread on, or to lay long plume sticks
or images upon at the yellow and blue
corn dances. Swallowing sticks were
formerly placed upon such trays at the
stick-swallowing dance.
The Zuni formerly had a number Of
old coiled globular and jar-shaped bas-
kets the origin of which is not def
nltely known. The pitch-covered water
bottles, which they use come from the
White Mountain Apache or the Navajo

A Boston neurologist of large repute
has advanced novel theory about
nervous collapse, based upon a case in
his own practice. He relates that a
wealthy business man consulted his
physician for relief from a nervous
breakdown. He was ordered to go to
Europe and rest. but it did him no
good. He was sent to rest cures and
santa RUINS, where he was ordered TO
do nothing which would tire him. He
was informed that rest was his only
salvation He rested week after week
and month after month, and all to no
purpose. At last he consulted this ply
stefan, who believed in doing some
thing. After studying the case he de
cided that his patient was not in need

1t is well enough known that fire.
quently human beings when bitten by
dogs have died agonizing deaths. Hy-
drophobia or rabies is the name for the
disease under which they have suffered,
but so great have been the uncertain
ties as to the course of the disease and
so poor the opportunities for expert
mentation that some medical authori-
ties have held there was no such dis
ease whatever, and that the victims
have really succumbed to self-hypno-
tism or hysteria. The bureau of ami
NAL industry in the Department of
Agriculture at Washington has had this
made many experiments at it's expert
ment station at Bethesda, Md. Its
chief, DR.. A. D. Melvin, now announces
that he has conclusive proof that such
disease exists and that it is germ-gen-
Grated and Infectious One of the In
stances which DR.. Melvin cites is that
Of dog bitten by another dog The
bitter died of rabies. The other dog
was taken away and kept under Obser-
walton for two months. 1t then de-
velOped a well-defned case of the dis
ease, ran amuck and bit q horse and
cow. The COW was attacked in sixty
days. the horse in about a hundred
days and both died after showing all
the typical symptoms DR.. Melvin states
that there are two forms of the dis
ease-one Of them dumb, the other fu-
rious. In the early stages of the dumb
type dog is dangerous, but in later
stages it is not, as it's jaws become
paralyzed A dog suffering with the fu-
rious type Of rabies is very dangerous.
The frothing at the mouth is not a fic-
ton but a real characteristic Of this
type. The experience of England,
which, through it's strictly enforced
quarantine law, has got entirely rid Of
rabies and kept free from it for many
years. has been sufficient to satisfy
most impartial observers that genu-
fne disease was in question. The proof
that Is now brought forward by DR..
Melvin's bureau should put an end to
all further quips and filings about the
imaginary nature Of the disease. Ra-
bies Is fortunately not common, but it
is terrible enough where it occurs to
justify full precautions against it.

Of rest and was not IN the least ia
tigued, but simply did not have enough
to do. He accordingly advised him to
90 to work and quit worrying. The pa
tient did so and was cured The rem
edy and its encouraging result only go
to prove the truth of the old axiom that
work is the panacea for all evils Cases
Of overwork, so often reported are Isu-
ally cases Of overworry. Care may even
kill the cat which has nine lives to
mans one, but hard work without wor-
ry never killed any one. Work with
worry may produce nervous collapse
and often leads to suicide, but good
honest hard work without excitement
or strain, and performed within rea-
sonable time, is the best of remedies
to guard against nervous breakdowns.
1t would be an excellent remedy in So
ciety, also. if society women, jaded and
worn out by the incessant excitement,
late hours imprudent eating and wor-
ries Of social functions and rivalrles,
instead Of going to rest cures, would
take the broom and fiatlron and put III
several hours of good hard work in the
house. They would be surprised to find
how rapidly they would recuperate and
restore their wasted energies.
