HOW THE MONEY IS WASTED

Gouverneur felt jubilant last week
upon receiving word that the bill ap.
propriating $4,000 for site and $780,
600 for a new postofFice building had
been passed and only needed the sig
nature OF the president to make II a
law.
Canton's postofflce is in a building
costing 1000, not $4,000. 1t occupies
the ground floor. The basement and
upper floor are occupied by tenants
and the once has plenty OF room.
GonyeFneur is a little larger than
Canton, hnt the best business block in
the place could be bought for $4,000
Seventy thousand dollars for a post
office D. $4,000 too much. The tax
payers foot the bill. There is no rea-
son why any man with influence
should be able to pay political debts
or apply political poultices of such
magnltude.-St. Lawrence Plaindealer.

A VISION OF PEACE
ny HOWARD V. SUTHERLAND.

AS we'll as from the meadows rose a
shout
That Numbered upward to the outer
stars,
Even to God: 20 happy brotherhood!
o happy heirs of all that is to be.
Bent toiler and pale dreamer hand
in hand
Till comes the summons. West and
east are one,
And we are brothers. Let US war no
more,
But stand together till the horn Of
death
Winds softly through the mist"
Then gentle Peace
Re-blessed the world, and men were
glad again.
And where they toiled they sang and
were content;
And where they dreamed, their eyes
were wet with tears
The while their hearts were filled
with gratitude.
Then, ere I woke, heard again those
words
Those golden words: 20 happy
brotherhood!
All men are brothers; let US war no
more"
And, knowing why the dream was
granted me,
| bent above my harp OF ivory
And sang amid the silence of the
stars.

A NEW RACE OF PIGM1Es.

News has Just been received In Eng
land OF a remarkable discovery that
has been made by one OF the most IN
teresting and important scientific ex-
petitions that have over left these
shores. The expedition, which Is com
posed of party OF eminent Englisn
scientists and owes ITS inception ana
organization to w. r. Ogilvie-Grant,
was despatched by the British Orni-
biologists Union in October last to ex'
plore the Snow Mountains of New
Guinea, or Papua, which is the largest
unknown area on the surface or the
earth. The discovery is that of a
strange race of pigmies. The main
features of this marked type OF the
human race, apart from their small
size, are:
/. The extraordinarily dark color
of their skin, which approaches, as
one observer has remarked, the color
of a newly hlackleaded stove.
Q. The extremely broad nose, the
breadth of which is about equal to the
height.
9. The frizzy hair, which grows in
isolated peppercorn tufts all over the
scalp.
These people are in no sense dwarfs,
but convey rather the impression or
small but otherwise well-developed
men, the arms, however, being rela-
lively longer than those of Europeans
In habit they arc nomadic, nowhere
! filling the ground, but depending for
their living entirely on their skill III
hunting and fishing. Their chief wea-

generally poisoned either with the IA
nous 'upas" or some other analogous
vegetable poison, which Is In some
cases a species Of strychnlne. But by
far their most interesting weapon is
an ingenious variety OF "spring gun"
| This is formed by setting a flattened
| bamboo spear attached 10 a bent sap
ling, which Is fastened to a trigger In
such way that IL Is released by the
passer-by stumbling against an invisi.
| hle string stretched across a track.
These spears are in reality set for
game. In time of peace they are oh
! vious enough to the initiated, but their
presence is generally indicated by q
curious sign-namely, a broken-off
! twig placed In cleft stick. In war.
however, this and other warning signs
are removed. the removal correspond
ing to the moving Of buoys In a mined
channel. The wounds inflicted by these
! hardened bamboo spears are neces-
sarily extremely serious.
The mental qualities Of the Negrotis
are far from developed. Not one OF
them, for example, is able to express A
higher numerical idea than three.
