Edinburgh and It* Castle.
lu the fertile valley of the Forth
there rise two lofty, bold and pictur
esque rocks, noth of them looking up
the valley, and both facing the west.
On these two rocks stand the castles of
Edinburgh aud Stirling, a distance of
about thirty-six miles from each other.
These two crags are the ancient re
mains of extinct volcanoes which were
no doubt in active operation many
thousands of years ago.
The two castles were for long the
guardians of frontiers, Edinburgh Cas
tle guarding the Firth of Forth, or,
as it was formerly called, “The Scotch
Water,” and Sti.iing Castle standing
at the gate of the Scottish Highlands,
keeping watch and ward on the incur
sions of the hardy and warlike Gaelic
clans. But Edinburgh Castle was not
only a strong fortress; it was also the
germ and nucleus of the city of Edin
burgh, the most romantic and pictur
esque city in the whole of Europe.
The bold cliff on which the castle
stands Is a mass of hard trap rock, and
when In the lee Age Immense glaciers
came driving down against it, the cliff
broke them up and shed them off to the
right and to the left. The boulders,
rocks nnd mud carried on the glaciers
were deposited behind the rock, and
thus we have in the formation of Edin
burgh a very good example of what Is
known as the “crag and tall.” On tills
tall the old town of Edinburgh was
built, curiously built, after the remark
able model of a herring bone.
Couldn't Mate It.
The bull that tried to butt down a
bridge, and the goat that tackled an an
vil, couldn’t make It, and were knocked
out, bruised aud bleeding. From such
bruises down to pin-head blue spots
they are curable, easily and surely. The
men who get the worst bruises always
get the best cure. They make it every
time. There are right ways aud wrong
ways of doing things, as the bull and
the goat found out. The best eure lor
a bruise is St. Jacobs Oil. The right
way to cure Is to use it aud And out.
Glass Umbrellas.
It Is rumored that before long glass
umbrellas will be in general use—that
Is, umbrellas covered with tho new
spun glass cloth. These, of eourse, will
afford no proto* 'on from the rays of
the sun, but they will possess one ob
vious advantage, namely, that they can
be held in front of the face when meet
ing the wind and rain, and at the same
time the user will be able to see that
he does not run Into unoffending indi
viduals or lamp posts. But what say
lovers—the seaside holiday lovers—who
are to be seen on every beach round the
coast, wKii their backs to the cliff or a
handy boat, an unfurl' and old-style um
brella in front of them, leaving nothing
to the gaze of the inquisitive save the
soles of their four shoes? Surely they
will revolt against the innovation.—

Sustains Civil Service.
In tho Circuit Court nt Racine Judge
I ish handed down a decision virtually
holding the civil service reform law, pass
ed by the lust session of the Legislature,
constitutional. Mayor Graham and a ma
jority of the City Council have ignored
the Inw entirely ami policemen and tire
men now serving the city by appointment
of the fire and police commission in ac
cordance with provisions of tho law have
not received any pay since they have been
installed, over six months airo. Manda
mus proceedings were commenced against
the Mayor to compel him to sign the pay
rolls. The case will be taken to the Su
preme Court.
Accept Eight-Hour Day.
Hereafter the Bnyview mills of the
Illinois Steel Company, near Milwaukee,
will \\ ork on eight-hour shifts and the

proposition to have the mills adopt an
eight-hour day was laid before the mem-
Ikts of tlie Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers at a joint meeting
of the two Bayview lodges nnd was adopt
ed. There was some opposition to the
proposition from the high-priced men. The

It is estimated that the output of ore
from the Gogebic range next summer will
1 from 2,000,000 to 2,700,000 tons, and
that it will push toward 3,000,000 tons
more closely than in any previous season.
Tho stock piles ut Ironwood and Hurley
are smaller than they were last winter.
At the close of navigation last fall the
stock piles contained about 140,000 tons.

largely right from the mine without the
use of stock piles, using steam shovels.
This will insure continuous work during
the entire year.

UNCLE SAM’S LAND FORCES.
Ten Millions of Men Could I!e Mus
tered to Fight the Spaniards.
While a war with Spain would undoubt
edly be, in a large measure, a naval con
flict, it might extend to the land. Butcher
Weyler appears to Ihink that the Spanish
warships would quickly sweep the whole
American navy from the seas, and that
he or some other general would laic' an
army and march victoriously to the na
tional capital and there dictate terms of
peace. The Spanish people all seem to
think that our navy out of tho way, the
rest will be dead easy because the United
States has no standing army to speak of.
The Spaniards never made a greater mis
take in all their lives.
This country lias a standing army —not
the 25,000 regulars alone, but the 114,202
national guardsmen kept organized and
equipped by the several States. Of these
guardsmen Alabama maintains 2,488 offi
cers and men; Arkansas, 2,020; Califor
nia, 3,909; Colorado, 1,050; Connecticut,
2,739; Delaware, 458; Florida, 1,184;

ganized forces an avnty of 50,000 men
could quickly be assembled at any point
where the Spanish should land, and could
hold twice their number in check while a
greater army was being assembled.
Where is the greater army to come
from? The Secretary of War lias just re
ported to Congress the number of men
available for military service in each State
as follows:

NEARLY OUT OF MEAT.
Shortage of Beef Cattle Approaching;
a Famine in the West.
Strange ns it may seem, the country ly
ing west of the corn States is just now
confronted with the probabilities of a beef
famine. The reason for this is the short
age of beef cattle in the West. All of lust
year and so far this year the demand for
cattle to eat corn in the States east of
Colorado and the big prices offered, has
tempted the cattle men to sell every thing
fit to go, nnd in the Western country to
day, from which Denver usually draws
its supply of beef cattle, there are not
enough fat cattle to supply the local butch
ers’ demands.
Colorado is not the only State suffer
ing lor beef cattle. As far west as the
Pacific coast the same situation ex’sts.
California has usually drawn its beef oup
ply from home, Nevada and Arizona. Last
year Eastern California nnd Nevada were
practically denuded of cattle by specula
tors, who bought them for more than beef
buyers were willing to give and shipped
them out of the country. The recent
drought on the coast lms left the Califor
nia cattle in bad shape, and the coast is
now drawing almost its total supply from
the Salt river valley in Arizona, and the
supply there is limited. Up in Oregon
and Washington the same condition ex
ists. In Western Colorado there are a
few cattle on feed and some are left in
Wyoming, but they are held at such prices
that the Denver packers cannot reach
them.
JAPAN MAY HAVE AWORDTO SAY
Eight of the Mikado’s Subjects Were
on Board the Maine.
The State Department has ascertained,
at the instance of the Japanese legation,
that eight Japanese were on board the
Maine at the time of the disaster. While
the avowed purpose of the Japnnese lega
tion's inquiry is to assist friends and rela
tives in identifying those lost or saved
in the disaster, it is suggested that Japan
may have something to say to Spain in
ease the Maine shall be declared to have
keen destroyed by an external attack.
Japan has always jealously guarded her
citizens abroad, and might occupy the
same ground as the United States in seek
ing such redress as would bo appropriate
to the case as finally established. In this
connection it was recalled that Japan's
relation to the Philippines are somewhat
analogous to our relations to Cuba. Sim
ilar inquiries came to the Navy Depart
ment from the German and Swedish lega
tions. and it is expected that others will
follow. Nearly every nationality was rep
resented in the Maine’s big crew.
FAMED INDIAN HEAD BLOWN UP.
Fully 400,000 Tons of Rock Dislodged
by the Explosion.
With an explosion the noise of which re
verberated far up and down the cliffs of
the Hudson, the famous old Indian Head
of the Palisades above Fort Lee. N. J.,
was destroyed Friday. Topplir.g for a
second, as if loath to give up its lofty
l-c-cb. it finally pitched forward and went
crashing down u< fi-gmeuta 200 feet to
the base of the cliffs. One man, aided
by tons of dynamite, brought about the
destruction of this landmark. It is esti
mated that 400,000 tons of rock were dis
lodged by the explosion, which was sec
ond in extent only to that which destroyed
the rocks in Hell Gate some years ago.
Indian Head stood about three miles
above Fort Lee. Blasting has been going
on in that vicinity for a long time for the
production of broken stone for the mar
ket, and about two months ago it was de
cided to destroy Indian Head. The cliff
at this poifft is 200 feet high.
DISPUTE^OVER THE BOUNDARY.
Terms of the Treaty Under Which
Alaska Was Acquired.
The breaking out anew of the contro
versy over the boundary line between
Alaska and British Columbia has created
much interest among Washington officials
and calls attention to the necessity for a
final disposition of its boundary issue.
While n mutter whose adjudication rests
in the jurisdiction of the State Depart
ment, it is pointed out officially that the
maps and data prepared with the greatest
cars and precision by the coast and geo
detic survey authorities sustain in every
point the (Kisition assumed by the United
States with respect to its domain. There
is, however, an important question of con
struction of the terms of the Anglo-Rus
sian treaty, signed at St. Petersburg in
February, 1825, upon which our claims
rest. This Government fixes upon salt
water as the basis o' definition of the
ocean, while the Briti: ’ dispute this and
claim the islands as the ocean shore,
which would place the head of Lynn canal
in British territory, giving them the sev
eral important points like Taiya and Ska
guay.
Attention is called to the fact that the
treaty does not, as scorns to be believed,
prescribe a strip ten leagues wide as
American land, but it docs make the
boundary line tiio summit of tl.c mountain
range provided that range dues not in
volve a width of over ten leagues. Ac
cording to the reckoning of .he coast sur
vey authorities and the lines of detnark
ation in their publications the summit of
the White puss, over which the British
flag is reported to have been planted, is
tea miles on the United States side of its
tea leage w thirty-mile boundary line.

IT PASSES THROUGH CANADA.
Domestic Freight In Bond Aggregates
Over 5,000,000 I ons a Year.
In view of the numerous inquiries by
members of Congress and others and the
increased interest in the subject, the
Treasury Department lias prepared a com
prehensive statement showing the quan
tity of domestic merchandise of the Unit
ed States, which, during the calendar yeat
1807, passed through Canada in bond
from one point in the United States to
another. The statement shows that the
law authorizing these shipments is in no
sense local in its application to points on
the Canadian frontier. On the contrary,
it shows that every State and territory in
the Union has contributed to the total in
one or both directions.
The domestic merchandise of the United
States so shipped during the year is shown
to have been 5,351,350 tons, requiring for
its transportation 443,875 ears. The mer
chandise is classified ns follows: Agricul
tural products, 2,000,373 tons; animal
products, 1,174,150 tons; products oi
mines, 005,701 tons; products of forests,
295,087 tons; manufactures, 844,{KX> tone;
miscellaneous, 280,173 tons.
MORGAN BECOMES IMPATIENT.
Will Offer Another Resolution Calling
for Cuban Information.
Senator Morgan said Friday that il
was his purpose to introduce a resolution
at an early date making a second call up
on the President for the consular eorre
spomlenre bearing upon the condition c f
affairs in Cuba. “I think,” he said, “that
the Senate and the country are entitled
to know officially what the condition tb<
is and that the reports of the consuis
should not be withheld for an unusual
length of time. I do not, however, wish
to complicate this matter with the Maine
disaster and shall not Introduce the reso
lution while the court of inquiry is sitting
unless its report is unnecessarily delayed.
I have set no time for the presentation of
the matter, but will be guided as to the
time by circumstances ns they arise.” He
said in reply to a question that the reso
lution proposed by him would be couched
in terms demanding the submission of the
correspondence.
DEFEAT OF THE LOUD BILL.
Buried in the House by an Overwhelm
ing Majority.
The Loud bill, to correct alleged abuses
of the second-class mail matter privilege,
which Inst year passed the House by a
majority of 144 to 104, was buried by an
overwhelming majority by the House
Thursday. The rote was not taken di
rectly on the bill, but on motion to lay it
>n the table. By a vote of 1(12 to 119 the
motion wns carried. Forty-seven Republi
cans joined with the Democrats and Pop
ulists in accomplishing the result, and ten
Democrats voted with the mujority of the
Republicans. The refusal of Mr Loud to
permit a vote on an ameudmeot at the last
minute was responsible V. a measure for
the result, but the strength of the measure
undoubtedly waned throughout the three
days’ debate.
Proctor Is Appalled.
Senator Proctor, while at Havana gave
to Miss Clara Barton $1,500 for the re
lief of the reconcentrados. He was deep
ly impressed by the horrible spectacle of
misery which he saw during bis trip to
Mutanzas. lie found that the reports
sent to the American press concerning the
ravages of famiue and the destruction
caused by war have not been in the least
exaggerated. “The misery of the con
centrades,” he said, “is the most appalling
spectacle that human sight can endure.”
Everything seems to be moving along as
usual in Coata Itica; another revolution
is in full blast these.

One thing should be Impressed apon

Her Financiering.
“Just my luck,” said the pretty little
wife with snapping black eyes as die
finished a letter just received, “But
Henry knows everything, just like
other husbands. Instead of saving and
denying ourselves to pay bills, we might
have all the money we wanted. If there
be anything under the sun more ag
gravating than a man, I have failed to
discover it.”
“That’s a nice way for a young wife
to be talking,” said her mother, who
generally takes sides with her daughter
in everything. “Very few women have
as good a husband as you have, and
you should be ashamed of yourself for
talking that way. What’s Henry been
doing now?”
“Exercising bis superior judgment,
that’s all. A month ago I had a little
money saved up and I told him to buy
wheat. I knew it would go up, and
there was a chance to make thousands.
But no, he doesn't believe in speculat
ing. ‘Slow and sure,’ is his motto. Did
you ever hear such nonsense? We had
a perfect right to buy when wheat was
low and sell when it had advanced.
I don’t believe in running away from
fortune when it’s coming right at you.
I’m going down this very afternoon and
have Slicker buy for every cent we
have in the bank. I guess Henry will
forgive me when he finds thousands
Instead of tons. Slicker’s a broker, and
he says there’s plenty of money in
wheat yet.”
“I wouldn’t, dear.”
“Oh, of course, not. Caution will
starve some people yet. But I will.”
And she did. Wheat took a slump.
There isn't a cent in the bank. The
little wife is down with nervous pros

ANECDOTE OF ABDUL HAMID.
lie Thinks His People Ought to Drink
More Wine.
The Sultan understands French, but
of course the official lanyage of the
palace is Turkish, says an exchange.
Many strange stories tiro hoard of his
conference with the foreign ambassa
dors. On one occasion the Duteli min
ister was going on board ship to make
a visit home when a messenger came
desiring his presence at the palace.
The Dutch ambassador explained his
case and said that h<> would prefer to
be excused unless an immediate audi
ence was given, so that he might catch
his boat. Tills was arranged.
“I have noticed,” began the Sultan,
when the formalities of the greeting
were over, “that in the other countries
of Europe there is progress. Tilings im
prove. Here iu Turkey we are tlie
same, year after year. What is the
reason?”
Now this may have been an Instance
of Abdul Hamid’s childishness; or he
may have been resolved, in a sudden tit
o' pessimism, to seek real help from
the envoy of a small and non-combative
nation. At any rate, the Dutchman
hedged.
“Truly, your majesty," said he; “I
have not given the subject such close
attention as your majesty must have
done. Indeed, I was not aware that the
case was as stated, but I cannot doubt
the accuracy of your information and
would greatly like to know what you
yourself consider the reason for the
difference.’”
“I fancy,” said the Sultan, “that It is
because my people drink too much
water. In Western Europe men drink
wine.”
“Your majesty is doubtless righ,"
agreed the man from schnapps-land.
Here the interview terminated and lie
made a dignified ministerial bee lino for
Ills boat. Asa matter of fact, drunken
ness Is rapidly increasing among the
Turks.

AX OVERWORKED BRAIN,
From the Ftcord, Pimelon, Ini.
Dcicnnitied to rise ns nn educator, Ef*
nest Kemper,of Piereeton, lud., overtaxed
hiuisclf mentally and physically. He was
ambitious; his mind was on his
work. From early motu until late nt night
In' continually pored over his hooks.
Few persons, even with the strongest
constitutions, can keep up under such a
strain.
In addition to his studies, Mr. Kemper
v.as teaching a school some three miles
from Ins homo. Finally, his excessio
sLu.y and the exposure of going to and
from school in all kinds of weather under
mined his health.
He was taken to his bed with pneu
monia and his overworked brain almost
collapsed, ror several weeks he was se
riously ill.

without benefit. Finally his physician
recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink l’iils
for Palo People, and from the first box
he began to improve. When he had
taken nine boxes lie was completely cured.
This famous bloou and nerve medicine
accomplished what former expensive
treament failed to do. Mr. Kemper says
his catarrh lias entirely left him; he is
strong again and weighs nine pounds
more than he ever did. He gives the pills
the entire credit. He is starting teaching
again and feels abundantly able to con
tinue the work. To prove that the above
is tone Mr. Kemper's affidavit foil nvs:
Subscribed and sworn to before mu thia

We doubt if those pills have an equal

A Pocu!i sr Fabric.
A peculiar fabric, which may find a
use lor many purposes, is made in
Brussels. It is flexible, transparent
and impervious to water. This textile
material can be washed off with cold
water, like a glass pane, by means * a
sponge, and is mainly to be used for
portieres, window shades, umbrellas,
et cetera. The patented process for the
production of this tissue consists In
filling the meshes of a wide-meshed
fabric, such as muslin, with chrome
gelatine or with a similar material, and
then rendering the chrome gelatine lu
soluble by exposure to light. The fab
ric is then coated on both sides with
boiled oil or fat varnish; the treatment
with chrome gelatine and linseed oil is
repeated several times and the fabric
is ornamented by printing.
