A strike has just taken place on the

appear to be justfied. The full particu

his career by cutting down the wages of
the employees one half. There must be
a remarkable change in the economic
situation in New Mexico to warrant such
an astounding reduction as this.

Count divisionists are wasting a good
deal of their time, euergy, and money in
organizing for an aggressive campaign
next fall. Two years ago the proposition
was beaten by 500, and last fall, after a
very enthusiastic canvass, the majority
stood 1,000 against it. People less fanat
ical would see something very discourag
ing in there figures, but the divisionists
are totally blind to the probability that if
pushed to a vote again this year, it will bo

the admission of Dakota, Montana,

it should be the policy of congress to

Rumors of European wars continue to
be unreliable. The Russian troops were
withdrawn from the Bulgarian frontier a
day or two since, and the cable news
from abroad was that the troops were to
be transferred to the German frontier.
Now it appears that the movemt-nt was
wholly for sanitary reasons, Russia is
going to stay by Bulgaria until a new
tenant, one suited to her own wishes, goes
upon the throne. In the meantime, due
allowance must be made for the imagina
tion in all foreign war rumors.
The women, as in all heathen lands,
have all the heavy work of the family to
do. The men do the sewing for the
family, but the women do all the
farming, bring all the water and wood,
and do the cooking. They do the farm
work with the baby of the family tied on
their back, as a rule. It is wonderful
what cheering straits they develop even
in the face of all this. The husband is
often the husband of many among the
better class. A marVs wealth can easily
be known by the number of his wives.
They all believe in the ability of a "witch"
to take away life. I am told that it is
common to call an uganga (doctor; what
we would call in the south a -'witch doc
tor") for a sick parson to have the spirit
found. This doctor ofteu finds the spirit
in a tree, a piece of wood, or stone, and
sometimes in another person. If th. sick
die, then this person in whom the spirit
dwelt is ndoki (witch). Often a person
dies without an uganga. In this case the
uganga would be sent for to find out who
is ndoki. Congo Missionary in Ghristain

Dr. Asa Gray had a considerable fond
of humor. One summer not long ago he
was with his pupils looking at the Baby
lonian willows in the Botanical gardens.
The willows are very small, and Dr. Gray,
regarding them critically for a moment,
remarked: "Well, all I have to say is
that if the children of Israel hung their
harps on 'the willows of Babylon when
they sat down to weep, as the scriptures
tell us, then they must have been jews
harps."

Grantities had a jubilee last Friday
afternoon and evening in honor of the

citizens serenaded and carried through
the streets on the shoulders of happy
men, and at night a rousing dance was
given at Hull's Hall. Everybody was
supremely and recklessly jolly. The

We don't mean that she would like to

that their trials in life fitted them for a

Tom Potter was business. A few years
ago a young telegraph operator sent two
heavily-laden passenger trains into terri
ble collision near Tyrone, Iowa. 3Ir.
Potter soon arrived and found the opera
tor tremblingly trying to tell how it
happened. "Not a word," said Mr.
Potter. "The question is, can you still
send dispatches? If so, sit down at that
instrument." The operator complied,
and for ten hours did not leave his seat.
Another style of man than Mr. Potter,
might have scattered the remains of the
operator, metaphorically speaking, over
all Iowa, but neither so cold-blooded or
short-sighted was Tom Potter. He used
the terror stricken man, who had pre
viously done his best to remedy his
mistake with a special engine, and part of
the operators ten hours work was to send
out a truthful and succient account of the
calamity for- the press, prepared by Mr.
Potter himself. Business was Tom
