 The first real change therefore, in the Constitution came with the Civil War The thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth amendments adopted 1865 and 1S7O abolished sav ry Negroes citizens and conferred the elective ranche upon the coored citizens.
 The second change has begun with the sixteenth eenh amendments The first of these provides for the income tax and the second for the direct election of Senator's Both are the result of the progressive movement that was fairly launched the campaign of 1896 Whether more will come be- fore the tide of that begins ebb not only time will tell.

YUKON NAVIGATION WILL
 BE LATE IN STARTING

Word received at Juneau is that the ice probably will not move out Of Lake LaBarge for more than a-week vet. It is solid at the present time and gives no promise of breaking up soon. At Skagway it is not believed that the first boat will sail from White horse for Dawson until June 10th, and possibly later than that.
 Those in Juneau that contemplate going down the river are advised by those that left this place early in the week to catch the first boat that they had as we'll remain where they are for another week.

COOK WITHOUT FIRE.
New Zealand Maoris Prepare Their
 Food In Natures Kitchens.

New Zealand Maoris Prepare Their
 Food In Natures Kitchens.
 The Muoris of northern New Zea' land enjoy cooked food to a far great CT extent than other natives. but they ueyer bother with fire. They build their huts on tue edge of some friend. ly" geyser. where they may cook in natures kitchen. The methods of thls primitive people living in so strange a neighborhood are described by Max Hcrz in New Zealand" ."
 On a spot which superstition would associate with death and the devil the huts of about POO Maoris lie scattered the remnant of the once warlike tribe of Tuhourangi It is lucky that these simple folk need no kitchen. for na- ture has built for them the best of all cooking appliances and saved them endless trouble with the stove, gas company or coal merchant
 A pond of boiling water lies in the middle of the settlement. In this the Maori woman puts her water kettle to boil or hangs the wide meshed flax bag filled with potatoes and waits un- til they are cooked. True, the potatoes cooked in their skins taste a little of sulphur but that is the right flavor for a Maori paate-the haut gOut for the brown gourmet.
 For the cooking of meats the fuma- roles. or holes through which steam escapes from the ground, are used. A box with a wooden grating for Q bot ton is placed on the ground over the hole. In this the Maori woman places the meat. well covered with tin or iron pots. An old sugar bag is then spread over the box, and the crude apparatus is left until the imprisoned steam has completely cooked the joint.

1 PIONEER MINING WOMAN
 TAKING IN SUPPLIES

Mrs. Rose Johnson, the pioneer mining woman of Valdez, left this morning with more supplies for her property near the Valdez Glacier Mrs. Johnson has spent five thous- and dollars installing mill which is now completed and with the wa ter power near the property harm essed, will in few weeks be at work grinding the high grade ore taken out during the summer.
 Mrs. Johnson has worked without attracting much attention and few people knew of the property being opened and of the erection of the mill. She has taken up the great est part of the machinery herself with the aid of a team of big trail dogs and has had a crew of from two to eight men on the claims for the past many months.-Valdez Prospector.

 ABANDON HERSCHELL IS.

Vancouver, Nov. 29-The mounte police post at HerscheI island has been abandoned for this winter, and the detachment of four men and fiv dogs may be compelled to drop back on Fort McPherson. The steamer Belvedere, winch sailed from Nome last July with provisions for Her schell, never reached its destina- ton, and 1t is feared it has met with disaste, or is frozen in the ice. Efforts are being made to locate the missing vessel. The police patrol will leave Dawson about Christmas wth a dog team and the mail for Fort McPherson. It will stay ten days a0d return to Daw- son ill in March. It is scarcely probable the patrol will be able to communicate with any of the Stef- ansson's party.

ECCENTRIClTY OF GENIUS.
In the Days That Are Gone It May
 Have Been Duo to Eye Strain.

In the Days That Are Gone It May
 Have Been Duo to Eye Strain. It seems ,..at at last genius is dis covered not t2 be allied to insanity, but that rather all it's eccentricites are due to eye strain.
 Brain specialists. for instance, are as sertlng that if Carlyle had had proper Iy adjusted glasses and good electric light to work by instead of a skylight over his desk. and that illumlned by a London fog much of the time, he would not have been such a grumbler and dyspeptic. In fact, eye strain was the cause Of all his eccentrlcites.
 All geniuSos in fact, would have been optimistic. says science now, If they had only had bifOcal glasses at the right time. The same unnormal eyesight ls given as the cause of many tragic paintings. That famous artist Turner. would never have painted the slave ship in a storm. but would rather have depicted the peaceful landscapes that so many artists panta awhen their eyes are properly fitted with glasses.
 Wagner. too. if he had worn the cor rect spectucIes and had had that decid- ed tilt to one eye remedied. probably would never have written about Wal kyrie and dragons. but would have written pleasant dances and even ragtime instead.
 Darwin also was another victim of eye strain. Doubtless be would never have given to the world his theory of evolution which stirred society up if his eyes had been normal.
 De Quincey suffered from bad eyes Surely he would never have taken opium if he had had glasses. But then. on the other hand. the world would hava missed his opium dreams And. after all is considered. scientists conclude society could better dispense with spectacIes than with genluses.- London Tit-Bits.
