Drama In Iceland.
In tts march to the Pole the drams ?
fias reached Iceland. It Is a recent
graft upon the intellectual life of tha
Island , according to the London Globe/
The first theater -was founded BO ref- *
cently as 1807 , and there is only on0
in the island at Reikjavlk but It has
taken firm root. The dramatic season
opens in October and closes at the end
of April , when the good folk go fisli
ing , and the theater Is open about three"
evenings a week. Bjornson and Ibsen
are mostly drawn upon , but during t
last season one or two native poets have
recited their own compositions , which
promise well. The municipality and
the Diet each subsidize the theater to
the extent of 500 crowns.

SPIDERS THAT CATCH BIRDS.
Cfatlve of Ceylon Mountains Snnri-j
Prey of Some Size.
Far up in the mountains of Cey ! - \
there Is a spider that spins a web 11.3
( bright , yellowish silk , the central ut
of which is five feet in diameter , while
the supporting lines , or guys , as thry
are called , measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet. The spider seldom bit < ' 3
or stings , but should any one try to
catch him bite he will and though not
venomous his jaws are as powerful as
a bird's beak.
The bodies of these spiders are hand-
gomely decorated , being bright gold or
scarlet underneath , while the upper
, part is covered with the most delicate
filate-colored fur.
So strong are the webs that birds the
size of larks are frequently caught
therein and even the small but power
ful scaly lizard falls a victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow monster measur
ing , when waiting for his prey with his
legs streiched out , fully six inches
striding across the middle of the net
find noted the rapid manner in which
lie winds his stout threads round the
unfortunate captive.
He usually throws the coils about the
bead until the wretched victim first
blinded and then choked. In many un
frequented dark nooks of the jungJe
you come across skeletons of small birds
caught in these terrible snares. Pear

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
THE VINDICATION OP DREYFUS.
jHE Dreyfus drama is closed at last with a
triumph of justice. To say that the triumph
was complete would be an error , because
there has been act after act in which ir
remediable injustice has been done. Drey
fus himself has suffered so terribly in mind
and body that no human tribunal could ever
rectify his wrongs. Men who rallied to his assistance
received injuries from which recovery was Impossible.
An unspeakable clique of rogues prospered far too long
while the innocent and the true were subjected to perse
cution.
These are facts that should not be overlooked when
the vindication of the accused is considered. Tbe restora
tion to his rank in the army is an insurance for the fu
ture , , his reputation and the reputations of his support
ers have finally overcome calumny , but atonement for the
crueltie of the past is Impossible.
The Impressive dlcision of that great court of forty-
nine fudges must be regarded as though it concerned an
other defendant , namely , the Republic of France , and in
this view It is a confession. The. judges say , in effect ,
that th'e 'French army was dominated by contemptible
scoundrels and criminals ; that ministry after ministry
aided or condoned the offenses of these villainous con
spirators ; that the legal trials' of Dreyfus were -a mock
ery , and that the infamous "affaire" was a stain upon
the honor of the nation. It is impossible to develop much
enthusiasm over such a retrospect. The most that can
be done is to dig up excuses out.of political conditions ,
( rnd these were long ago wasted on foreigners. But "bet
ter late than never , " and France will profit In reputa
tion by the action of the Supreme Court. Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
THE FALL OP THE FORESTS.
| N the very near future this country
be suffering a lumber famine. The once
mighty forests have gone , or are going , like
grass before a scythe.
The lumber cut in this country in 1005 Is
stated by the Department of Agriculture at
27,738,000,000 cubic feet. The vast proportions
tions of this slaughter of the forests may be appreciated
by Imagining the lumber to be all of inch thickness ,
making a "board walk" 2,000 feet wide from New York
to San Francisco.
Blade walnut has almost disappeared. Oak has be
come a rare wood. Georgia pine , once cheap , is costly.
There Is little more white pine , and one of the diffi
culties , of building now is that there is no substitute of
quite such versatile usefulness. Only 3.5 per cent of the
year's cut comes from this noble tree. The once despised
hemlock furnishes almost three times as much. * In the
scarcity of better lumber , poplar and basswood , which
the American of 1850 did not consider fit for firewood ,
furnish more than white pine.
Maine and Michigan are no longer the great dumber '
Slates. The Pacific slope and the gulf lead to-day , Wash
ington being the chief lumber State and Louisiana second.
Arkansas , Mississippi , North Carolina , Texas , Alabama ,
Georgia and Virginia make with Louisiana eight Southern
States , each of which leads Maine in the amount of lum
ber produced.
How the huge annual cut of lumber and the ravages of
forest fires as well shall be replaced is one'of the most
Important problems with which this country has to deal.
AUSTRALIAN MESSAGE - STICKS.
Served as Vouchers In Primi
tive Forms of Trade.
Considerable mystery has always at-
: acbed to the so-called "message-sticks"
used by natives of Australia , bearing
marks : that are often supposed to take
ie place of written characters in the
xansmission of information. There is
no doubt that these curiously marked
sticks are carried by messengers from
Dne ] body of natives to another , but it
s asserted by Walter Roth , who writes
OJ n the subject in one of the etimograph-
OJC bulletins of the Queensland gov-
srnment , that they do not serve in
themselves to convey information , but
ire : merely used for purposes of Iden-
Jfication. Says Mr. Roth , as quoted
n Knowledge and Scientific News :
"The limited quantity and portability
f a native's personal goods offer little
r no opportunity for the use of prop-
irtjy marks. If weapons are of the
ame cut , there are minute , yet suffi-
lient , differences which are recogniz-
ible l to the owner ; even if similarly
rnamented , no two are so alike that
hey cannot be distinguished. In a
jeneral way , each having sufficient for
ils own wants , and no person having
nore than another , there is nothing to
hleve and hence the lenity with which
heft , even when it occurs , Is regarded.
nly In cases of trade and barter ,
ihrough an intermediary , where it is
fssentlal that one individual's goods
hould be distinguished from another's ,
there a necessity for a definite prop
erty mark , this taking the form of a
o-called 'letter' or 'message-stick. ' Un-
ler such circumstances the 'stick' may
e put into use as follows : Charlie ,
eslding at Boulia , wants , we will say ,
ome pituri , but being prevented by
ickness < or some other qause from go
ng himself , sends some relative or
riond Peter to the nea'rest market on
he Mulligan River to get some for
ilm , and gives him a 'message-stick. '
"Arrived at last at f-zis destination ,
eter Is asked his business , tells who
las sent him , hands over tiie 'stick , '
nd establishes his bona fides. The
lagful of pituri being at last forth-
oming , the vender returns the 'stick'
Peter , but not before taking careful
lental < note of it , so as to be sure of
ecognizing it again. Peter returns at
tist ! to Charlie at Boulia , and deliv-
rs up both pituri and stick. It now
emains for Charlie to pay for the pi-
uri with spears , boomerangs , etc. If
can prevail on Peter to take a sec-
nd trip , all well and good , but If not ,
is usually the , case with so long a a
ourney , he either proceeds himself or
ends another messenger with the goods

THE COUNTRY TELEPHONE.
HE farmer's wife has a new resource. Her
lot has been improved in many ways in the
last ten years. The "separator" and the
creamery have relieved her of the severest
. toil of the dairy. The rural free delivery
brings magazines and newspapers to her
door. Lately the telephone has put her with
in visiting distance of her neighbors.
The nearest farmhouse may be half a mile away , and
the village three miles. The lines of poles and the wires ,
perhaps merely the wire fence , have suddenly drawn her
into an Intimate relation to both , unknown to her before.
To one who has never experienced the solitude of the
farm it is hard to realize the joy of the wife and mother
at being able to consult a friend about the cut of the
baby's coat , the recipe for mince pies , or the dose of cough
sirup.
The demand for the telephone in the country is imper
ative. "Everybody's got one , " said the village storekeeper
to a city visitor. "Why , there's three families that's being
helped by the * town , and every one of 'em has got a tele
phone. Old Mis' Bearce says she'd rather go without her
victuals than have the telephone taken out ! "
What a testimony to the desire for human companion

THE VULGAR RICH.
ANY years ago George William Curtis wrote
a little parable that now reads like a proph
ecy. Hfe represented himself as having been
asked to the house of a rich man , and when
asked by another whether he was going , he
said : "Will he give me any of his money ? "
The man to whom he spoke was astonished
at the question , and asked why he supposed that this
would be done. Curtis went on to say that when he went
to see a literary man or an artist or a distinguished so
cial leader or a reformer or a scholar , he got something
from his host information , pleasure , inspiration , the
charm of fine society , etc. In other words , every man
gave him of that of which he had most The rich man
had only money , therefore , so the essayist argued , he
should give it to those who visited him. There is , of
course , no flaw in the logic. For society exists that men
may give something to it and get something from it. If
this condition be not fulfilled there can be no society.
And this means that a man who has nothing but his
money has no social value of any sort. When he steals
his money as many rich men do to-day we have only
another reason , for excluding him. A fortune based on
bribery and corruption , on bought franchises , on traffic
in foul food and drink , is a vulgar and detestable thing.
It is time that this truth were enforced on our people.
Indianapolis News.
riving at the Mulligan , finds the ven
der and gives him the spears , 'boomer
angs , etc. , together with the 'stick. '
Recognizing the latter , the seller ac
cepts the various articles in payment
for the bagful of pituri which he part
ed with some few weeks previously ,
knowing now that he has been paid by
the right person , probably personally
unknown to him 1. e. , the sender of
the original 'stick. ' "
Mr. Roth states his absolute convic-
tipn that the marks on the sticks do
not convey any communication , in the
ordinary sense of the term ; the same
message may accompany different
sticks , or the same stick different mes
sages , and the stick may bear no marks
at all. He goes on :
"I have been given a stick to take
with a certain message to another dis
trict , and purposely mislaid it tem
porarily , in order to secure another
specimen. Again , 'second-hand' sticks
may be used over and over again by
strangers , who certainly have had no
knowledge of the original manufactur
ers. Sometimes a broken twig is suf
ficient , -without any incisions whatever ,
and I have often seen a piece of tea-
tree bark , or even a rag , just tied
round and round with twine , to consti
tute the so-called letter. To put the
matter plainly , the message Is taken
verbally , the stick serving only to ac
centuate the bona fides of the messen
ger ; if the messenger is known to both
parties , no stick is sent "On the other
hand , there is more or less uniformity
recognizable In the shape-of the sticks
manufactured in different areas ; the
flat feather shape of the Boulia dis
trict bears a strong contrast to the
squared form of the letters met farther
north. Occasionally the stick may be
affixed with twine to a handle , carried
vertically in front , and the suggestion
has been offered that this expedient is
resorted to when the messenger is trav
eling through hostile country , so as
to give him immunity for trespassing ;
my experience is that , under such cir
cumstances , he would avoid any risk
of being seen by traveling only by
night I have often seen a .civilized
black boy on the road holding in front
of him a short twig , In the split ex

ONE BATH EACH YEAR.
To&Ic of Wnsliine : nn Elephant Is a
Serions Event in n Circa * .
Some folks object to the unclean ap
pearance of an elephant , but they prob
ably do not know that an elephant has
only one bath a year , and has to con-c
tent itself during the remainder of the
time with a dry rub of sand &e dust ts
The elephant's bath is a serious thing
not only for the elephant , but for the at
tendants as well. It takes from ten to
twelve weeks to wash thoroughly the
herd of forty elephants at the winter
quarters of a big circus. Thousands of
square feet of hide must be cleaned
and softened.
The skin is first prepared by a care
ful oiling , the ointment being rubbed
well into the hide by six or eight men
at work on each animal.
The oil is applied with swabs of cot
ton waste , some of the men attacking
the elephant's legs , while others climb
ladders and rub the upper regions of
the huge neck. A keeper stands beside
the animal's trunk with a hooked stick ,
ready for any emergency , for if a lad
der should be overturned by a kick the
oily back would be hard holding for
those on top. A course of massage [ !
completes the anointing and work is '
suspended for two weeks. The next
treatment consists of a thorough scrub
bing , which brings off heavy layers of
crust which have been loosened by the
oil.
Then the entire surface Is sandpa
pered a most tedious operation. As
many as ten men are detailed for each
animal , and they are scattered all over
the enormous body. The sandpapering
is a sort of beauty treatment , for It
eliminates all the deep wrinkles. On
its completion the elephant comes forth
to all appearances as good as new.
After it has had a steaming , somewhat
after the manner of a Turkish bath , Its
toilet Is completed and it Is ready for
public presentation.
The arduous season on the road gives
the animals plenty of exercise. Twen
ty of them are' performers in the ring
and their education has progressed to
; uch an extent that they are said to be
able to do almost anything except
"thread a needle or read Shakspeare. "
The other half of the herd does the
drudgery work of the show and is an
essential part of the working crew that
loads and unloads the train ? . One oc
cupies the position of a monitor and
maintains discipline in the herd : an
other is a sort of a maid who carries
hay and other food for baby oo and
lier mamma elephant. There are no
oafers in the herd , each having duties
which require daily attention.

New York correspondence :
William J. Bryan is home again.
Bronzed by travel by land and sea ,
cheerful , and apparently physically fit
for a campaign two years long , he lit
erally fell into the arms of huzzahing
hundreds of his fellow countrymen
when the steamship Prinzess Irene en
tered the harbor of New York Wednes
day afternoon. A band on one of the
welcoming tugs played "Hands Across
the Sea , " whistles and sirens screeched
and humans shouted. All this was pre
paratory to the big demonstration to
take place -Madison Square Garden
Thursday night , when thousands of
Democrats from all over the country
gathered to pay 'their ' homage to the
great commoner.
Clashes between rival welcoming
committees , composed respectively of
the New York "plan and scope" organ
ization and the Nebraska "home folks , "
each of which was determined to take
possession of the returning leader ,
were happily averted by the notion of
Mr. Bryan himself when the Prinzess
Irene reached quarantine. Instead of
choosing between the yacht of his
friend , Mr. Goltra of St. Louis , witb
the local committee on board , and the
government tug bearing the people of
;
his'own State , Mr. Bryan elected to j i
spend the night on land. I
| '
The do\vn the the Prin-
scene \ bay -us - |
zess Irene came to anchor in quarantine - !
j
tine established a precedent as a celefi ;
bration of the home-coming ofa plain '
American citizen. The news .that the
steamer bearing Mr. Bryan had been
sighted cCT Fire Island just before
noon , and that she would be at anchor
for the formal medical inspection by
3 o'clock , was the signal for a wild
rush of specially chartered boats and
pleasure craft down the harbor. The
lowering skies and frequent rain
squalls served to keep many away , but
those who were not deterred by the
adverse weather conditions gave an
enthusiastic spirit to the reception.
The "home folks" were the most enthusiastic -
thusiastic of all. On two big tugboats
which journeyed down the bay side by
side they went to welcome their distinguished -
tinguished neighbor. j |
There was a broad smile on Mr.
Bryan's face as he spied the foremost
of the Nebraska tugs , and a broader
one when he saw his old friend , Mayor j
"Jim" Dahlman of Omaha , standing on i i
the "nigger-head" of the tug , rope in
hand , ready to hurl it about the head
j
of Mr. Bryan if he refused to come
peacefully aboard the craft.
Mayor Dahlman , who was for ye.irs
a sheriff in Dawes County , Nebraska ,
when sheriffs wore two revolvers and
carried a cutlass and a "billy , " but
who had himself elected mayor of '
Omaha on an "open town" platform , '
headed the delegation , but with him
were many prominent men in Nebraska 'e '
business and professional circles and
others known throughout the State for
their oratory and political records.
On spying Maypr Dahlman Mr.
Bryan laughed heartily , shook his head
at the coil of rope which the "cowboy" e
mayor held in his hand , and said : "I *
guess you're going to get me , Jim. " f'fl
"You're right we are , Will. We've fi
come a long way and we won't leave
without you. " j
"You won't have to , " replied Mr.
Bryan. j "W
With tumultuous cheers the Nebraskans - '
braskans pulled up alongside the after D
gangway of the big steamer and called . *
their greetings to Mr. Bryan , who ni
stood on the deck just above them and
smiled and waved his hat. Big boxes !
of flowers were tossed on board for j
Mrs. Bryan. Thdn the Nebraska State fj
flag was flung to the breeze and the
cheering was renewed. | ( h
Usually indifferent to all situations , S
Mr. Bryan displayed much emotion
when the two tugs , bearing friends
and neighbors who had traveled more * *
than 1,500 miles to greet him , ranged
'
alongside the Prinzess Irene , with flags
flying , whistles tooting and crowds Pe
singing old-home melodies , and he spent BJE
a half hour among them , shaking hands '
and asking in an earnest manner about ®
their wives and children , about "the en
folks across the street" and the po- ta
litical situations in the various sections .bl
of the State. Mr. Bryan talked to his {
friends freely about his trip , which , he of
said , had been one continuous round of *
enjoyment and instruction. Songs CT
were sung and the cheering was
taken up , time and again , while Mr.re
