During the past week strikes have
multiplied. There are now nearly 100,

"With but one or two exceptions, these

The experience of the French troop3
in the Sahara has Ehown that dark
colored horses bear great atmospheric
heat much better than do these of a
light color. A writer in Nature re
marks that the same fact has been
demonstrated in India, and add3 that
tropical animals generally have darker
coats than are found upon those liv
ing In cold climates. Similarly the
darkest-hued races of mankind inhabit
the warmer countries.
"That is tho eighth boy," said the
matron of a city employment bureau
recently, "who has come today to en
gage a cook, laundres3 or parlor maid.
Moreover, each one has made a good
selection, stated his requirements
clearly, and finished in half the time
hi3 mother or sister would have occu
pied." The new boy is as distinct a
product of the age as the new woman.
He can make hi3 own bed, sew button'?
on his own clothes, manage a bachelor
establishment for his father and him
self, make out the menu3 and do chafing-dish
cookery, all without losing
his rank in school or hi3 prestige
among his boy mates.
"Puerto Rico" or 'Torto Itico?" Let
Tis hope that uniformity will a last
prevail. It is not the first case of a
vexatious variation and puzzle to those
who wish to spell It correctly. It took
years to get rid of "Dacotah" and to
establish the spelling "Dakota." The
situation with respect to our new is
land possession is that the board of
geographic names, which is supposed
to determine such matters, has deckled
strongly for Puerto Rico. The Presi
dent, it is understood, accepted the
authority of the board and adopted
its spelling. But congress has enact
ed a form of government for "Porto
Rico," which thus becomes the legal
name of the territory.
The mystery of the "wabbling" of
the earth's axis may be explained in
the opinion of Dr. J. Halm, a German
astronomer, by assuming that the ro
tation of our planet is affected by
changes in the magnetic influences of
the sun. He publishes a comparison
of observations on sun-spots and oa
the irregular motions of the north pole,
which appears to show a coincidence
between the two phenomena. During
a maximum of sunspots the magnetic
Influence of the sun seems to be great
est, and after the passage of such a
maximum the disturbance of the
earth's axis diminishes. The fact
that the earth's poles of magnetism do
not correspond in location with its
geographical poles may, Doctor Halm
suggests, indicate how tho sun's dis
turbing action is applied. When tho
magnetism of our globe Is most pow
erfully excited then the strain alons
Its magnetic axis may cause a distor
tion of tho figure of the earth, which
becomes less as tho strain diminishes.
A good man is a useful man. He

Displayed In tho most conspicuous
style in the London Daily Express of
the "lat is the following- dominant war
uews: -"We have the best reason for
statin; that in the last -4 hours a tele
gram has been received at the foreign
ollico, addressed personally to the prime
minister from President Kruger, pro
posing1 terms of peace. The exact
terms of the message cannot be stated;
but wo believe it is couched in an ex
ceedingly humble strain." lt is incon
ceivable, of course, that Lord Salisbur3
can have sent any reply, except the
one that stands ready on the lips of
every Briton unconditional surrender.
A special dispatch from Kroonstad
says that lien. IK-wet has sent word
that he is prepared to surrender condi
tionally with his entire commando. A
dispatch from Kitsoek, 14 miles north
of Kroonstad, dated the 50th and by
way of Kroonstad, Kays that Hen. Ham

dispatch from Mequatlinjj's nek, dated
May hi says: (Ion. Brabant is reported
to have captured 1,00 Boers at Cloco

dent, telegraphing on the l'Jth, says,
Recent arrivals from the Transvaal de
clare that the burghers have lost all
confidence in their ability to withstand
the British; that they are disheartened;
disgusted and sick, and that their pre
dominant de-ire is to return to their
homes. President Kruger is anxious
to prevent the war from lizlin; out, is

last heroic stand. The future tactics
of the Bjcrs ure a mystery. The for

Mafeking' has been relieved. The
long drawn out siege of the place has
finally been raised by the Boers. It is
believed that heavy lighting occurred
before the relief was affected. London
showed as much enthusiasm as when
news of the relief of Ladysmith was
received. A Pretoria dispatch says the
siege was abandoned after the laagers
had been heavily bombarded, but thus
far no ollicial report has been given
out in London. It is also announced
at London that Hen. Buller has occu
pied Newcastle.

WAR NOTES.
A proclamation, purporting to have
been issued by Aguinaldo, and dated
May 4, from Polillo island, one of the
Philippine group, east of Luzon, is cir
culating in Manila. Is says the com
mission appointed by President Mc
Kinley was appointed without the au
thorization of congress, and that, hence,
it cannot treat oflicially. It urges the
Filipinos not to surrender their arms
at the instigation of the commission
and on promises which congress may
not ratify, and also urges the Filipinos
to enthusiastically welcome the com
mission when it arrives in the towns
and provinces, asking boldly for the
form of government they most desire,
us the Americans permit freedom of
speech. The proclamation closes with
asking the Filipinos to still strive for
liberty and independence, und again
warns the commission against decep
tion. The transport Logan sailed from San
Francisco on the llith for Manila via
Honolulu. Among the passengers on
board were a number of army ollicers,
assistant surgeons, 10 postal clerks.
TO recruits. 37 hospital men and 7 con
tract nurses, as well as a number of
civilian employes and the wives and
children of ollicera now serving in the
islands.
No Nrc'y System In Hawaii.
There will be no Nccly business in
the Hawaiian islands. The U. S. pos
tal system will be installed there June
14, but at the close of business on the
13th every one of the 78 postmasters
will be required to give a full account
of all Hawaiian stamps, postal cards,
etc., on hand, and the whole caboodle
will be sent to headquarters in Wash
ington for destruction in the regular
government furnace, and by men un
der bonds to let no guilty btamp es
cape. A Daring: Kobliery.
A lone highwayman entered the cor
ridor of the Coatc.s hotel, one of the
leading hotels at Kansas City, Mo., on
the night of the 50th and forcing the
strong box of the cigar stand escaped.
The box contained diamonds valued at
SI. 500, S5.i0 in gold, currency, silver,
and checks to the amount of $100. - He
held the night cleric and another em
ploye of the hotel off at the point of a
revolver, and escaped on a horse that
he had tied to the curbing.
Turkey Disturbed.
The Russian embassy has consider
ably perturbed governmental and di
plomatic circles at Constantinople by
inviting the immediate attention of the
porte to deplorable situations of many
districts of Armenia, resulting from
brutal methods of collecting taxes and
from persecutions which has driven
many to embrace Islamism while whole
communities arc preparing to emigrate
to Russia.
A stock company has been organized
at Plainwell with a capital stock of
S'JO.OOO to operate an electric lighting
plant in connection with the old Mer
rill mill; also to manufacture shirt
waists, skirts, shirts, etc One hun
dred people will find employment.
It is estimated that 40,000,000 feet of
logs have been burned at points along
the Alpena t Northern railroad.
All the departments of the American
Steel fc Wire Company's mill in De-
Kalb, 111., has leen reopened and are
running with a doable shift of men irw
nearlv all of them.
A Ilad Wreck at Iluehanen.
A bad wreck occurred on the Michi
gan Central at Buchanan on the morn
ing of the 50th. The fast freight side
tracked for the early westbound ex
press, backing on to the spur track
which runs to Lee & Porter's axle
works, two miles distant from the de
pot. After the express passed, the
freight pulled on to the main track.
Six rear cars broke from the train, the
drawbar pulling out, but the conduc
tor stopped thein with the brakes. The
train parted a second time, and 11 cars
started down the track, which is down
grade i.ll the way, btriking six other
ears. All control of them was lost,
and on they dashed at 7. miles an hour.
At the axle works four cars and a way
ear ran oh? the end of the track, plow
ing up the ground 500 feet, striking a
house occupied by Wm. Muoks, almost
destroying it. The way car forced its
way into the parlor, next to the room
in which the family of live were bleep
ing, and it was by a miracle that they
escaped. The furniture in the house
was demolished, but the contents of
the cars were practically uninjured.
J'ort Huron's Canal.
The Port Huron canal commissioners
held an important meeting on the 1.1th.
Three routes were submitted by the
city engineer. The route which seems
to meet with most approval is 0,545 feet
long and the average excavation will
be 30 feet. The general impression
prevailed that the canal should be 55
feet wide at the bottom, allowing a
stream of water six feet deep. This
would make the surface of the water
37 feet wide. It will be necessary to
build four bridges, each 1,000 feet long.
It is further proposed to secure a right
of way for 500 feet, giving room for a
driveway on each side of the canal.
OvlI Will le Dry This Yeur.
The village council of Ovid some time
ago rejected the liquors bonds of one
MeCarty, who wished to engage in the
business at that place. The bond that
was required was to be for 0,000, and
at the time the council gave no reasons
for its rejection. MeCarty then brought
mandamus proceedings to compel the
acceptance of the bond. Judge Stone
on the 11th held against MeCarty, and
Ovid will be a dry town this year.
Since rejecting the bond the village
has decided not to have any saloons
there.
CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
The house accomplished little on the
10th besides passing the senate bill to
incorporate the American National Red
Cross. No progress was made with the
Alaskan code bill, owing to the inabil
ity of the two sides to agree as to the
time to be allowed for general debate.
The conference report on the District
of Columbia appropriation bill was re
jected after extended debate.
Not a little stir was caused in con
gress by the first veto message of the
session, which was sent to the house
on May 4. It was the Navajo Indian
bill, which congress proposed to open
to the operation of the mineral land
laws a certain strip of land in the res
ervation in Arizon a.
The house on the 17th passed a spe
cial river and harlor bill carrying ?lou,
000 for surveys and emergency work,
and devoted the remainder of the day
to the Alaskan code bill. Four pages
of the 017 pages of the bill were dis
posed of before adjournment.
A larger acreage than ever is being
planted to chicory on the muck lands
of Ui-lle River flats, near Capac.

WHY THIS SHOWER OF GARTERS
An I'uiiMual Number of tlie Article
Int mil fcoucht.
Twice in the last week Chicago hqs
brtn startled by advertisements tov j
lost carters, mis breaks an known
records for one week. Now and then
a vagrant "lest" ad. setting forth that
a carter which was ouee the secret
pride and boast of some fair one has
slipped its moorings and fallen into
profane hand3 and that a suitable re
ward will be given for its return. But
two in one week seems to be excessive.
There must be something the matter.
It is not a question of locality, for tho
first garter thrust upon the public no
tice traveled south side streets and
boulevards in its proper station in life
and it was on the south side that it
burst all bounds and started forth into
the world alone, without its mate.
The latest claimant for public atten
tion in that line formerly resided on
Tower place, away over on the north
side. The latter one had something
of a bulge on its predecessor, inas
much a3 it boasted a gold buckle that
the lady owner is particularly anxious
to recuvcr. For the garter per se she
cares not one whit. But gold buckles
do not grow on every bush, not even
on Tower plocc. and therefore the lady
is anxious that tho honest person who
picked up the gold buckle should waive
all sentimental considerations and re
turn it. Why are garters dropping
right and left at this season of the
year? Is it superinduced by a falling
off in embonpoint on the part of tho
fair wearers of tho ornaments or Is a
trust manufacturing the elastic and
making it of such an inferior material
that the very necessary articles are
easily lost? These questions positively
shriek for a solution. At the same time
it might be remarked, honi soit qui mai
y penso. This remark, in fact, should
have been made at the outset, but It
is never too late to say it. Why should
garters have gold buckles? And why
should this be open season for garters?
Once more, honi soit qui mal y pen?c.

WELLINGTON IN INDIA.
The Importance of What He Achieved
In That Country.
The splendor of Wellington's serv
ices in European warfare has to a con
siderable extent obscured the import
ance of what he achieved in India, in
the field and in council; yet this gave
proof of his best qualities, and was
characteristic in the highest degree,
says the Fortnightly Review. IIe.be
camc the most prominent and distin
guished soldier in our army in India
at a grave crisis, when our empire was
endangered in no doubtful sense; hi3
conduct mainly contributed to the suc
cess of our arms. His first cssaya in
the field were not fortunate; he mado
a night attack in the campaign against
Tlppoo without reconnoitering, which
naturally failed; he was rather under a
cloud at the siege of Seringapatam.
But his administrative power and his
faculty of command were seen Li hi3
direction of the Nizam's army; and he
was rightly appointed to the head of
affairs at Mysore after the conquest
of that kingdom and the death of Tlp
poo, though his brother conferred tho
appointment upon him. His military
genius, however, was most conspicu
ous and exhibited itself with peculiar
clearness in h!3 great and decisive vic
tory of Assaye.
