SIAM. Grea? Britain has lately been taking a great ccsal of interest is Siam and its King. It is pointed out that the interests of the Conntry lie in Siam being a sturdy and , that the King ix personally aman worthy of oon- siderati.n. The Manchester Guardian remarks that, born into an atmosphere of Court which Siam unusuaily dense even for the East, the young King—he was only fifteen when he eame to the throne—had the penetration, almost from the first, to distinguish be-
and ind: pendent kingdom

power. He ceased to be a palace poten- tate, aud became @ king of his country. In the old days the bridges in Siam were 80 constructed that they could be raised on Occasion tosave kings the indignity of “passing beneath them, The new Kivg thought jess about the sacredness of his head and more about the length of his sceptre. He broke down the power of the old nobles, and gathered all political power into his own hands and those of his Cabinet. The main politica] inspiration of his life seems to have been furnished by his visit to India in 1872. Thenceforward he begun to read the Times and follow European politics. He made an intelligent study of European political systems, and he has succeeded in introducing the more showy elemenis of Western civilizaticn into Bangkok. It would hardly be safe to say more of the results of his policy as yet. It would be the easiest of taeks to decry tLe hybrid civilization of Bangkok to argue that money spent in introducing electric tramways and building palaces and roval yachts might perhaps have been betier «pent in making roads or improving the bar of the Menam, and so on. But it is unreasonable to expect immediate or com- plete success from political institutions which are not an indigenous growth, but a mere graft on one of of the most un- promising of stocks. The King of Siam, whatever his shortcomings, has risen far above the level of his neighbors—Thee- baw, for example, and Norodom, who never went further than Offenbach and champagne in his appreciation of the West,—and in so doing has saved Siam from the fate of Burmah and Cambodia.
Tie Government of Quebee intends to open negotiations for the purchase of the Indiau reserve on Lake Temiscamingue. The colonization movement in that direc - tion is very active. Mr. L. E. Carufel,

In Indiana the Governor has proclaimed a dat- in October as Arbor Day. There are ma: y who think the fall the best time fer transplanting treesyand who claim that most of the trees planted on spring Arbor Days die. This latter may be the fault of the planters, however, more than the day. Still the working ofthe Indiana idea will be watclied with interest by the growing number of people who like to see a tree growing wherever nothing more immedia— tely useful can be be set out. _ Itis reported the famous Spanish mines in Arkensas, which have existed for years largely in tradition, heve been discovered. For the last two years the Peal Silver Mining Company have been engaged in searching for the hidden mine. ~ At the end of a drift eleven feet from the main shaft an opening was made into another shaft, which is said to be chat Opera‘ed by the Spanish pioneers in the latter part of the seventeenth century.

Vancevver, B. C., August 12.—Accord- ing to Manilla exchanges, received by the Empress of Japan, the rebellion continues as briskly as ever, and reports are given of some serious skirmishes between the Spanish soldiers and the rebels in various provinces,
A report has been informed circles in Governor General has

The Chamber of Commerce in Manila, alarmed at the serious fall in exchange, due to the introduction of the new Philip pine dollar, has, with the permissioa of the Governor-General, sent the followiog telegram to the Minister of the Colonies in
new loan, to attend to the grave question of exchange, which has not improved with the arrival of the new insular mony.

Wasuincrox, D. C., August, 12.—Sec- retary Bliss, of the Departmentof the Interior, has issued the following warning
to the general public : To Whom it may concern :
In view of information received at this department that 3,000 persons with 2,000 tons of baggage and freight are now wait- ing at the entrange to White Pass, Alaska, for an opportunity to cross the mounteins to the Yukon river, and that many more are preparing to join them, I deem it proper vo cal] the attention ofall who contemplate making that trip to the exposure, privation, suffering and danger incident thereto at this advanced period or the Season, even if they shou'd succeed in crossing the mountains. To reach Daw- son City when over the pass, seven hun- dred miles of ditficult navigation on the Yukon river, without adequate means of transportateon, wil) still be before them, and it is doubtfal if the journey can be completed before the river is closed by ice.
Iam moved to draw public notice to these conditious by the gravity of the pos- sible consequences to people detained in the mountainous wilderness during five or six months of an Artic winter, where no relief can reach them, however great the need,
SHEAF OATS AND STOCK RAISING.
It has been an open question with us for a good many years whether it pays to thresh oats or feed them in the sheaf. It is one that must be determined by the circumatances of the individual ‘farmer. Where & man is growing oats as a direct market crop, they must be threshed of course. Where afman is growing oats for feedSfor sheep or dairy cows we do not believe it will pay him to thresh them. Threshing gives no feeding value to oats whatever. The only point to be gained is convenience in handling the feed. Where a man is feeding sheep or dairy cattle, or even hops, we do not see that they are any more convenient, couniing the whole crops, straw and oats, when. threshed. Farmers do not begin to understand the value of sheaf oats as a stock food. In our boybood days we never thought of threshing oats fer sheep or tor dairy cows. It is simply a waste of time and money. If our readers who wish a first-class feed for dairy cows would cut their oate a trifle green, just as greea as they dare to with our modern methods, and stack them well, and feed them direct to dairy cows and sheep, they will savea threshing bill anda good deal of labor besides, and in addition will get more out of the whole crop than they will in any other way.— Wallace’s Farmer.

This Man's Hands.
‘Talk about enthusiasm—there is a fel- low out my way who beats anything in that line you ever saw,’’ said Chief Des- mond to a few of his newspaper friends, “T won't tell you what his name is, but I will point hfm out to you any night you come out to see me,
“When be was a boy, he was crazy about le wrote, ad- yertised, hunted, and would have walked across the continent for a rarity in his line. Suddenly he switched to dogs and had evy- erything from a toy terrier to Great Danes. He hada canine herd that made the neigh- borhood in which he lived positively dan- gerous. The dog craze lasted until he fell in love. He was just as enthusiastic about the girl as he had been over the dogs and postage stamps. The girl married him at last to have peace.
‘When the honeymoon waned, he was seized with the basebail craze. He never missed a game for a whole summer. He yelled, jawed, bet, aad was a noisy bleageh- er even in his sleep.
‘‘Then came another turn of the crank, and he was an enthusiastic fisherman. He invented and suggested more things to jure fish into a net or on toa hook than he had fingers and toes, and he made them all himself in his back yard when the fish- ing season Was Over.
‘‘Now he is a singer, and every house within a block of him is vacant. He has no more music in him than a blackbird, but he is an enthusiast. He is a good ten- ant, or the landlord would have made him move longago. His wife went down to pay the rent the other day, and she asked the agent to just have a little more patience; that she was sure before long he would have switched on to something else over which he would go wild for awhile.’’—5t. Louis Republic.
A Patriotic Sacrifice.
The entrance of the man from rural re- moteness did not arouse much enthusiasm in the eminent politician. There was a certain gloom about his bearing which the visitor's best attempts at sociability could not dispel.
“Of course, Mr. Geehaw,’’ said the great man, ‘‘I am glad to hear all about your family and our friends at home and especially about how much you did to se- cure my election, but we may as well get down to business. I suppose you're no exception to the rule. What you want is an office.’’
‘‘Would it come jest as handy as not to gimme one?’’ ;
‘““To be very candid with you, it would inconvenience me a great deal.’’
‘Oh, well, then, ye needu’t bother yer- self,’’
‘*Do you mean that?’’
‘‘Certainly. I don’t want no office.’’
His host opened his eyes wide and ex- tended both hands in welcome.
‘“My friend and fellow citizen,’’ he said, ‘I’m glad to meet a genuine patriot face to face. The trouble with this country is that there are not more men like you. I had begun to fear we bad reached an era when no action and no declaration of priu- ciple was untinged by a hope of reward. I’m glad to boast the acquaintance of such a man.”’
“Thank ye; thank ye, kindly. I was kind o° gittin skeered fur fear ye had some notion o’ goin back on yer cld friends. As Iwas sayin, I don’t especially want no office. Of course I’d kind o’ like ter hev a place weth a desk into it whur the fel- lers could come in an set around an swap stories, but I’m new in the business, an I don’t wanter put on too much style. Mf it’ll be any convenience to ye, ye kin leave the office out of the question an do up ry salary in an even envellup an have it sent around to my house.’’-- Washing: ton Star.

A Stayer.
Colonel J. W. Barnett, in New Orleans, told a story of an unusually fine bird dog that he once owned, the best dog, he said, that ever was in his possession. He had trained the dog with great care to know a bird by the feathers it dropped. Did a partridge drop a feather, the dog would take the scent and find the bird’s retreat. One day the colonel hit a wild duck, but only knocked out a few wing feathers. The dog sniffed them and started away. After a little his master called him, but got no response, and at the end of an ex- haustive search of the neighborhood went home, expecting the dog would come along later. But the dog didn’t come home un- til a week afterward, when one day he ap- peared, thip and bedraggled, just able to trot slowly along the road, but carrying a dead duck. ‘The colonel had saved the wing feathers which he saw the dog last sniff, and upon comparison found that they had belonged to the duck the faithful brute brought home. Apparently the dog had followed the quarry until he found its roosting place and nabbed it asleep.
Evidences of Progress.
Two Washington county boys were dodg- ing bullets at Sharpsburg. The balls com- menced to shave off the bark of the pine treo which they were using for shelter. Finally an enfilading fire began to chip off the other side of the tree. One of the be- tieged Georgians remarked:
‘Bill, don’t you remember that General Yoombs said in his speech at Sandersville that Yankees couldn't shoot?’
‘*Yes, Tom,’’ said the other, ‘‘he certain- ly said so.’’
‘‘Well, Bill, they are learning —— fast, aren’t they?’’—Detroit Free Press,
