The question of 'war at home—To stamp or not to stamp? Madrid statisticians always set down the destruction of Spanish ships in danger of being captured as clear losses to the American navy. Sixty human lives were saved last year by the 114 stations of the Society for Saving the Shipwrecked. The number of lives saved in thirty-two years is 2414. By and by historians will say some thing fine of the age which produced statesmen and scholars so great, so wise, so pure in heart, as Lincoln, Tennyson, Gladstone, and their illus trious fellow-workers in state-craft and literatnre. Mr. Gladstone was the author of at le.ist one remarkable prophecy. A Lo.idon journal points out that it was to him and not to Cecil lihodes that • the idea of the Cape to Cairo connec tion first occurred—and occurred, too, before England bad occupied Egypt. In an article in the Nineteenth Cen tury of August, 1877—more than twenty years ago—Mr. Gladstone used these words: "Our first site in Egypt, be it by larceny or be it by emption, will be the almost certain egg of a North Africau empire that will grow and grow until another Victoaia and another Albert—titles of the lake sources of the White Nile—come within our borders, and till we finally join hands across the equator with Natal aucl Cape Town, to say nothing of the Transvaal and the Orange river on the south, or of Abyssinia or Zanzibar to be swallowed by way of viaticum on our journey." By one of those curious twists of irony of which fate is so fond, it was reserved for Spain to supply the first ocular demonstration of the established fact that the Maine was liot blown up by an internal explosion, comments the New York World. The experts easily proved it by the known laws governing the conduct of explosives. But there had never been a case of a warship blown up from the inside to which the experts could refer those who insisted on thinking that there "might be something in" Spain's lies. Now there are two such cases— the Maria Teresa and the Almiranta Oquendo. And each of them shows conclusively just how an internal ex plosion acts upon a warship and also how impossible and and preposterous is Spain's lying contention that the Maine blew herself up. This Spanish demonstration of Spanish treachery is not important, but it is interesting. » = — On what decent pretence, it is asked, could our government demand, as a condition of peace, the permanent surrender by Spain of the Philippines, or Porto Rico, or any other of her co lonial possessions? says the New York Tribune, and then answers the ques tion: On no mere pretence, but on the well-established ground of the vic tor's right to exact a war indemnity from the conquered foe, and to pre scribe the manner in which that in demnity shall be paid. Japan beat China and took Formosa. Turkey heat Greece, and took a strip of terri tory, with the of the Powers. Kussia beat Turkey, and took a slice of Armenia. Germany beat France, and took Alsace-Lorraine. Prussia beat Denmark and took Schleswig- Holstein. The United States beat Mexico, and took California and New Mexico. The rule may be a harsh one, but it is the law of nations. On what decent pretence could our government be asked to tight Spain, liberate Cuba, and pay all the bills without indemnity? It must be borne in mind that the test to which applicants for army en listment are subjected is very severe. Still a recent report of Adjutant Gen eral Corbin presents some surprising figures. This report refers only to enlistments for the regular army, of which the total for the mouth of Mny was 9540, the enlistments for general recruiting service numbering 5207, and the enlistments for special re cruiting service numbering 4333. The enlistments in cities were 7700 and the enlistments at military poets and in the field were 1750. In a list of tweilty-niue recruiting stations in cities some very interesting facts are stated, which show how difficult it is to maintain the high standard required in the army. At these stations there ■were 47,871 applicants for enlistment, and of the number of applicants 14,• 414 were rejected. In Boston, Cincin nati and Indianapolis only one ont of five applicants was accepted. In St. Ixruis the proportion was one out of tdur,in New York one oat of seven, in Phildelphia one out of twelve, and in Chicago one out of Ifr The Philippines will start in witi the Mervitt system and allow civil servica problems to follow at lei sure. The mercantile marine of the United States has been increased by the addi tion, in a lump, of fifty-three veßseli by the annexation of Hawaii. The raw silk industry of Japan in eludes an annual production of abon : 7,500,000 pounds. Of the averagt exports more than half are to th» United States.

This il lustrates the spirit of our whole navy, On top of the news that the Chi nese Emperor has ordered the estab lishment of universities on the Euro pean model comes the report that th# younger Mandarins have established a reform society: and, though theii meetings were for a time forbidden bj authority, they have been resumed under £he presidency of the Emper or's tutor. The financial supplement to thi Street Railway Journal recently is sued, devotes some space to a com parison of gross receipts by leading street railway lines in the United States in the years 1897 and 1896. Ii shows that in 1897 the tweuty-sij properties earning more than $1,000,- 000 gross per annum increased theii income 2.20 per cent.; those earning from $500,000 to $1,000,000 lost .11 per cent., and those earning frore SIOO,OOO to $500,000 gained 1.87 pel cent. The aggregate gain showed l>y all of the 175 roads included iu tli» summary was 1.9 per cent. Mr. George B. Waldron, in an arti cle iu McClnre's Magazine shows thai iu the twenty-years following 1793, Napoleon cost the British and French not less than $6,500,000,000 in monej and 1,900,000 lives—the latter num ber equal to the entire adult maW population now living in Greater Lon don and Paris. In the one battle ol Waterloo 51,000 men we*e 105t,29,00G of whom were British. The Crimean war of two years cost the nations en gaged iu it $1,500,000,000 in wealtb and over 000,000 of their citizens. The France-German war cost ovei 200,000 lives aud required an expendi ture of $1,500,000,000. France had in addition topsy an indemnity of 1,000,- 000,000 and to give Alsace-Lorraine,a total loss, it is estimated, of not less than $3,000,000,000. While the soil of the Hawaiian group of islands is prolific in fruits ol almost every kind, the manufacture of sugar is the chief industry of tin 1 inhabitants. In 1896 the exports ol sugar amounted iu value to $14,932,- 000 out of $15,436,000, the value of tlij entire exports. For the same yeai the total imports aggregated in valu« j $7,165,000. Most of the trade of tha islands for some time past has been carried on with the United States. I The public debt of the islands on January 1, 1896, aggregated $3,754,- 335; while the yearly income from di rect taxes, customs and licenses ia approximately $1,740,000. In spita of the wealth of the islands, the chiel attractiveness which they possess for the United States grows solely out ol their strategic position, says the Atlanta Constitution. Statistics translated from the Archiv fur Eisenbahnwesen, a publication ol the Prussian ministry, show that in tha five years 1891-5 America has built more miles of railway than any of the other continents, the increase for that period being 16,998 miles, making a total of 229,722, as against an increase of 13,732 and a total of 155,284 for Europe, an increase of -1867 and a to tal of 26,890 for Asia, an increase of 1647 and a total of 8169 for Africa, and an increase of 1566 and a total of 13,888 for Australia. When putin percentages, however, the additions to the African lines head the list, foi the record of that country is 25.2, with Asia second, 22.1, aud Australia, Eu rope, aud America following in order with 12.7, 9.7, and 8 respectively. At the close of 1895 the railways of the world, if joined together, would have gone around it at the equator more than seventeen times, for the aggre gate mileage was 433,953. Of this nearly a tenth was built between the end of 1891 and the beginning of 1896. This is the first four years in railway history that construction hat not advanced proportionally as well as absolutely more rapidly on this continent than elsewhere, but we still have more miles of railway than oil the rest of the world united.

Twelve hundred feet high is the sun-dial of the Lazy J Ranch and nearly as broad—that cliff of divers hues which stands out from the wall of the canon of the Grand river. The opposite precipice serves the cowboys as gnotnon or index to the hours of day, for its shadow sweeps over the stupendous, variegated face and marks the course of the sun through a sky that is always un clouded. A ledge of porphyry, fifty feet deep, crowns the dial; often it looks like a strip of piuk ribbon to the men below by the stream. But it was a glorious coronal, kindling in the first rays from the east, when Holden hailed it with uplifted eye aud hand as he quirted his horse through the barway of the corral. "Sunup!" cried Holden, the young foreman, filled with the joy of the morning. He is the son of the presi dent of the cattle company; he had come straight from college to the cow camp, and the old stroke of the 'var sity eight set a hot pace in saddle for the Lazy J riders. He rode that morning a big-boned, Roman-nosed, blue-roan "outlaw"—a horse pronounced irreclaimable by the boys; be had tied a bucking roll across the shoulders of his saddle to supplement the grip of his knees, and on top of that lay the big, loose coil of his fifty-foot cable line, for he was still young euough to disdain a lariat of lesser length and caliber. Behind Holden Navajo Jim lifted a light left foot to the stirrup; then his spurred right tripped clinkiug to the evasive dance of his young horse, and -o slipped inimitably into his saddle. To its right shoulder hung the trim coiled ring of his rope of braided raw hide, which, to that of the foreman, was as steel to iron and would hold anything on hoofs. Foreman and follower struck out through the greasewood over ground without grass; the grazing range lav high on the mesa, fenced by the lofty wall of the cauou. Its seemingly in accessible height was scaled by the sure-footed, agile range cattle at a break in the porphyry ledge not far up the cauou, and presently they took to the dizzy trail. With slack ciuches the blowing horses clawed up the loose footing at the top of the break aud moved out on a narrow projecting tongue of the mesa. Still higher the mesa broad ened and was set with sijnat cedars and pinons. Here the riders saw cat tle already chewing their cuds iu the shade. • "We're too low down. There's nothing here," said the young fore man, his eyes roving over the stock. "It's beef I'm after. I've got to get a train-road off by the first and not a hundred steers gathered yet!" "Quaking-asp putty good place for steer now," said Navajo Jim. "Water sweet there aud stampin'- ground close." "l'es, I know," Holden returned, impatiently. "The boys started twenty head down yesterday and had them pointed for the corral, wheu that blamed gray steer scattered the bunch, aud they broke back for the hills." "That gray steer like bull elk. Bet ter corral him with six-shooter," said Jim. "One steer not mnch worth." "Six-shooter nothing! What's our ropes forV" cried Holdeu. "That big grizzly brute will fetch up a whole carload to the top notch in the stock pens. He goes on hoof to Omaha. 1 told the boys I'd give a SSO-doll-ar ■addle to the first mau that 'twined' him and stayed with him." "I already got putty good saddle, Mr. Holden," said Jim, with a grin. "That steer seven,eight year old now, and all time run wild. Horns so long stink clean through horse." "Well, beef's up in the air; horses are down," returned the foremau. "Qnirt up, Jim. We'll strike up higher." On the loftier grnzing-ground they fouud the cattle still at feed. Through thickening hosts of deer-flies and horse-flies their horses strained up the steep oakbrush slopes. In banded resistance to like winged attacks, the cattle of the higher rauge were begin ning to "bunch" ou each open stamp ing-ground. Toward these trampled circles the scattered steers were one by their way. "The boys can run in all these steers tomorrow," said Holden. "You and I, Jim, are going to twine that gray steer today." "He got big scare yesterday: too sharp to show up on stainpiu'-ground today," Jim suggested. "Like enough," Holden assented, "but ve'll rustle him out. The boys lost him late yesterday in the long quaking-asp patch in that gulch up there, just below the rim-rock." He pointed to the rim-rock of the •pvuee ridge, rising yet loftily above them with innumerable aspen gulches aud brushy slopes draiuiug down into the side cauons. Quickening their horses, they pres ently rode into the green gloom of the gulch, where the quaking-aspens trembled over hidden springs. Here mighty hoofprints dinted deep the mud and the sodden trails. "Dere his track, fresh," said Jim, stooping from his saddle over a } rint like a post-hole. "He lie close, some where. " "We'll put him up," said Holden, confidently; "aud once he shows,stay with him, Jim." "You bet I stay!" said Jim, simply. They threaded the winding thicket on separate trails and met near its head without a sight of the gray steer. " It's no use looking for him down in here," said Holden. "He's gone up higher. Let's try in the spruce below the rim-rock." He led the way upward along tho steep, brushy side of the gulch until., stopped by the rim-rock, they sat iu their saddles and looked down and back iu disappointment. Below them the gulch enclosed the fastness of the deer, a space darkened to twilight by a growth of young spruce and aspen sapliugs. ".Maybe he down in those," paid Jim, wifh it drop alike of voice and hand. "Hide hisself in daytime like blncktail buck." "But we can't get iuto that 'pocket' on horses," Holdeu replied loudly, in vexation. "Wait! I'll try for him!" As he spoke he dismounted to act on a boyish inspiration. He had noticed a big block fallen from the rim-rock and lyiug tilted up on the slope. With mighty heaving he overturned it, and down the slope it crashed iu smashing leaps through the brush and swaying timber to the very heart of thegsprnce thicket. Snorts came up from below; Holdeu marked the course of startled, hurry ing creatures by the lines of swaying tops furrowing the still, greeu sur face, aud three grand bucks sprang out,their horns showing brown in the velvet as they topped the lower brush; but a bearer of mightier horns was breaking through the pliant young trees,and a glimpse of a grizzly hide was exultantly caught by the young foremau. "Ah, he show up now!" shouted Navajo Jim, erect in the stirrups, us the great steer came out below. Bred from the finest of the Lazy J stock, he would have weighed near 2000 pounds; but such speed aud bot tom were his "rustling" on that rough rauge that the big body rose over the brush with the wild grace of a bu< k, aud with deer-like ease his froutlet, l.lack and threatening, was thrown back over his grizzly shoulder as he stopped aud eyed his hunters for an instant. One defiaut shake of his per fect horns, then he raced onward,aud only bending brush marked his path. Holden was already galloping after him. smashing the undergrowth in a straight course down the slope to in tercept him below,shouting as he ran. Jim, with Indian circumspection, ran his horse in au easier descent along the slope, keeping lii.s eyes on the swaying brush beneath aud waiting for au opportunity of closing in more open ground. Now Holden's horse, the blue out law, showed once more his spirit and brought Holden close behind the game. Navajo Jim emerged from the thicket to see the young foreman in full career, swinging his big rope, while the haltered head of the horse and the huge-horned frontlet of the steer reached out in an even race across the little open space beyond. The loop of Holden's cable lit fairly over the widespread horns; but his baud was hardly quick enough in closing it. While it hung slack the steer leaped with both front legs through it, and then Holden's tardy jerk brought it tight around the grizzly flanks. The beast bellowed as th 9 plunge of hi- great gray body drew the turn of the rope swiftly from the saddle born. Vainly Holden tried to stay it. Recklessly he threw the slack end in a hitch around the steel horn and clapping his baud over it braced his horse for the shock. With forelegs ontplanted and quar ters lowered, the stubborn blue out law stanchly set himself to the tight ening rope. For au instant he was jerked along, stiff-legged, then over they went, dragged down, fierce horse and reckless roper. Clearing his legs, hanging at the side of his struggling horse, Holden still held the saddle-horn with power ful grasp. Another bawl, a plunge that no ciuches could withstand—aud, 10, the saddle was stripped from the outlaw aud jerked high and far from Holden's hand! Navajo Jim checked his horse, but "Onl" roared the young foreman. »ud on the obedient Indian spnrred after the wild steer and the flying saddle. Tlie great steer seemed scarcely to feel the 50-ponnd drag of the bump ing saddle. Yet it tightened the ropa about loin and flanks, and by making it harder for him to breathe so lessened his speed that Jim easily kept him in sight. Through yielding brush and swaying thicket, through bunches of frightened cattle that split to let him pass and came stringing after,bucking and bawling in sympathy, the brute plunged on. Each bawling bunch in turn was distanced. The brushy Hlopes broke away. As the mesa, sprinkled witb pinons, began to offer to Jim smooth spaces for handling his horse, he un buckled the strap that held the coil ol his rope, but still, as every leap ol the steer took him the nearer to th« corral, the wise Indian only held the rawhide ringed ready in his hand. Down the rapidly narrowing tongue of the mesa—the mesa which tipped precipitously out into the river-gorge aud w as bounded on either side by an abyss—the trapped steer sped. He must soon be at a standstill or at tempt to return on his tracks. The Indian's eyes had already kin dled with anticipation of triumph, when at the last of the pinons the bumping, hurtling saddle caught fast between projecting roots. It scarcely checked the steer! Holden's cable tore loose from the saddle-horn, and its slack ened loop was speedily kicked from the steer's higli-pliiuging haunches. Once more the great gray brute was free. "Ah, he on the push now!" said Jim and looked to his lcopas the steel reversed his big body, gave a high, writhing leap over the spurned rope, confronted the herder with the threat ening cresceut of his sharp horns and plunged forward to the combat. The Navajo lifted his horse aside with the spurs, swung the loop open in his right hand and rose, half turned in the stirrups, in a quick underthrow for the front hoofs of the steer as he lunged by. Jim's eyes saw, for an instant, low ered horns and uplifted hoofs mingled together, and his throw was true. But so quick was the play of the ponder ous feet that the loop caught one fore leg only aud passed over the face and huug across the horns. The loop, drawn tight by the roper's instantaneous jerk and kept from slack ening by his nimble horse,bound horn and hoof together. Now the steei was in sad plight. With bead drawn sidewise, with tongue lolling front open jaws, bellowing, lie surged on three legs, but his spirit was un broken. The roper slowed his horse to the strain. From horn to cantle the sad die creaked as, trampling and tugging in a wild, wide waltz, straining horse and hauling steer made the mad cir cuit of the precipices. The Navajo, active in the saddle with rein,spur and rope, was, in spite of all his efforts, drugged past the break where the trail ran down the slope. His horse, always straining desperately, was tugged on and on until he circled along the perilous porphyry brink, and Jim glanced longingly from the saddle on the cor ral,seemingly almost directly beneath him, its great square shrunk to the measure of his sad.lle-blauket. Holdeu,pounding down bareback on the blue roan, had stopped to gathei up his rope, but now Jim heard his encouraging shout. The quickened tramp of his rushing horse, the whirr ing of his big rope as he swung it aloft, sounded close at baud, and the sweating roper relaxed his strain. The steer, alert to the slack, jerked his hoof from the loop. Heedless of the cutting rope, instantly tightened across face aud froutlet, his stated head was lifted, and he stood, wild eyed, quivering, cornered, caught bui not conquered. He was on four legs again. Conquered? Never! Witb resistless pull on the rope,he wheeled and broke for escape across the clifl that rises, red-bauded, above the cor ral. "Stay with him, Jim!" roared the young foreman, swinging his rope, sure the steer would stop at the edge. Stay with him? It meant death surely. Already under the plunging front hoofs of the desperate rebel the porphyry rim crumbled. Jim's obedi ence did not falter, although he wat fairly staring down on the corral. How would the falling feel? The Indian had a swift picture of it —the steer lowest in the air on the taut lariat, horse aud man whirling after —but Navajo Jim set his savage jaws. No foreman should dare hira to stay with a roped beast! He would not look on the faces of white ropers sneering. He was hired body and soul—he was obedient—he wouli' stay. Holden, for this mad second, watchec incredulously. The steer would not go over—surely not. What? Straight on! And Jim! Was the man alsc crazy? Then the Navajo heard ouce more his master's voice. "For God's sake, Jim—let go! 0 heavens!" Jim obeyed. He flung loose the rope, but on his horse staggered. Anc the black length of the lariat was stil l whipping out with the defiaut horuec" head that pitched off into space when the agile horse saved himself aud hit rider on the very brink. Holden dropped his useless rope a« the Navajo, skimming the porphyrj edge like a swallow, rode back anc sta-ed into the eyes of the white man. "He was brave, that steer," saiJ Jim,with a queer choke in his throat, "He saved himself from the stock pens." Holden held out his hand anj grasped the Indian's. "You beat mj time, Jim," was all he said, but some thing in the tone called a new pridi into the Navajo's stern face.—Franl Oa'iling, in Youth's Companion. THE MOVING SPIRIT.

Indian* Not K«*en Siglitfd. It is a deeply rooted conviction, rtat ing from our boyhood's reading of Feuimore Cooper,Mayne Reid,Gustav Aimard, and other authors who famili arized us with the red man, that the uoble savage had a keenness of vision BUoli as no pale-face could ever reach. And now comes Dr. Ranke of Munich, who has been submitting the eye-sight of several Indian braves to' scientific examination, to upset this theory. He comes to the conclusion that the alleged keenuess o' vision of the redskin is a sheer delusion. They see no further aud no more distinctly than does the average citizen of Lon don or Berlin. But they possess the odvautago of having been trained from infancy to observe with concentrated attention the objects around them, aud to draw deductions rapidly from this survey for the purposes of war or the chase.
