What the Government Lost On the Bond
Isaues,
In view of the closing of the syndicate
bond dzal, the following table, publisbed
by the New York World to show the
losses of the government on the American
end of the bond aeal, is of special ib
terest:
Face of bonds $3l 157,500
Preminm to 104 40 1,398,971
Syndicate got $35,052,186
Prm. to market value 1121 2 3,112,750
Government got $31,556,471
Premium to 1121 2 2,495,715
Value American half today $38167,936
American half value today $38,167,936
American government got 32,556,471
American government loss $5,411,465
Ditto on foreign half 5,411,465
. Govercment loss and
bankers’ gain A $10,822,930
A profit of pearly $11,000,000 on $63,-
000,000, or absut 17 per cent. in six
months is fat plucking for the bankers.
That 2 rich government whose bonds
are worth in the market 122} should be
<duped into giving a syndicate such
-enormous profits is incredible. *
But the question now to be determined
is, will the government be victimizedfi
“again” That the bankers want another‘
plucking of so rich a goose goes without |
#aying. and that the gold reserve is now
at their mercy is a patent fact. But will
‘the administration expose the people to
another raid by persisting in a policy of
imbecility ?
ANTS KILL SNAKES,
in Platoors and Battallons They Attack
the Reptiles.
That ants can actaally kill snakes is a
‘diard thing to believe, says K Pierson’s
Weekly. There is irrefutable evidence,
however, that they do, and scientisis
~ have discovered that the snake has hard-
Iy a more dangerous enemy. The large
red-brown forest ant is the sort that is
“ the most fatal to smakes, and a curious
, thing about the attack of these tiny
€reatures on this comparatively enor
‘mous reptile is that they kill it for food
and not on account of any natural apa
thy. When some of the ants catch sight
©f a snake they arouse the whole com
munity at once. In platoons and bat
‘ taliops the little fellows set upon the
reptile, striking their uippers into its
body and eyes at thousands of points at
once,. With such rapid movement and
"F splendid concentration is the at
jack made that the snake has no chance
~mscaping. It islike a ‘housaud elec
tvieedles piercing bim at once. The
snald "»(,E,suon besomes exhausted, and
dies "1 M@ominiously. ‘Then the auts set
tiarder a®g@ork. They begin to tear off
the flesh in small pieces, gradually strip
ping away tL¥gkin and working under
neath, Not unt¥ they have carried off
everything except™the skin and bones do
they retire. L

;WHEN THE TWILIGHT COMES.
A wee mother is carefully putting he:
tfavorite doil to bed. With tender solic
itude she removes each d«nty garment
Eand fastens the tiny night gown. Then,
twitn a fcod kiss, she hugs her treasure
' to ber and places it in its little cradle.
; After patting it for a moment gently,
she tiptoes out of the room and the twi
light peeps curiously into it.
A fair maiden stands before her look
| ing-glass addipg the last touches to her
!evening toilet. Her lover will soon be
‘bere! Her eyes are full of innocent love
light! She looks eager at her reflection
in the glass! How glad sheis that she
is pretty! She frowns a listle at a crimp
that will not stay just as itshould. A
ring comes at the door, and she hastens
away in the gathering twilight to meet
ber beloved.
A voung wife sits apxiously watching
for her husband. At each approaching
footstep her heart beats rapturously,
and then grows beavy with disappoint
ment. She will not go in doors; it is so
sweet out there! As she waits and
watches the shadows lengthen into dark
ened night.
A mother is rocking her baby to sleep.
He holds at her gravely while she moves
to and fro, as if asking why the bright
sunshine must leave and the ugly shad
ows hide her dear face from him. There
is a wealth of wisdom in his great sweet
eyes! He holds tightly to her dress as if
to keep her near him! When at last his
eyes are closed, she disengages the lov
ing kand, kisses him hghtly—he must
not be awakened—and arises to put him
into his crib. Then she sinks back into
her chair and begins to rock him again.
It is so pleasant to rest in the twilight,
and he is so sweet to nurse!
A woman kneels by a fresh-made
grave. The head-board stares coldly at
her and seems to say over and over again
the words ilnscribed upon it: ‘“He was
her only child and she was a widow.”
With tear-laden eyes she bends down
lower and lower, till her lips rest upon
the earth. She longsso to kiss the quiet
form in its hLiding from her! And the
twilight seems to hurry past her and
gladly lose itself in the darkness,
A care-worn old woman sits watching
the shadows come—they are friends to
her—frienls that she welzomes—for
they always sing the same song. 10 her:
“‘One day nearer home.”” And as she
smiles to them bher thanks she, too, 1e
peats, “*‘One day nearer home.”” |And so
life—woman’s life~-goes on in the twi
light till rest comes to her weary body
and joy to her waiting heart—till her
spirit reaches its home, where never a
shadow cau fall upon it.
CATTLE DYING OF RABIES,
Farmers Killing Them to Prevent a Spread
of the Disease,
Some time since a mad dog attacked a
drove of cattie in the lower poition of
Sumter county, near the Terrell lice,
several of the animals aftewards dying.
Since that time, however, a number of
cows in that vicinity have developed un-~
mistakable signs of jhydrophobia, and,
according to jthe statement of a gentle
man in Americus yesterday, more than
twenty have been shot recently in order
to prevent a further spread of the dis
ease, Itis thought that these animals,
from eating grass where the cows bitten
by the dogs had grazed, absorbed the
poisoned saliva and hydrophobia result

THE AWFUL AVALANCHE.
ITS FIERCE RUSH BEST SEEN IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA.
With 2 Hissing, Rushing Sound [Rocks
Are Ground to Powder, Trees Are
Uprooted and-Logs are Smashed
to Splinters,
From the Victoria (B. C.) Colonist.
Imagine, 1f you can, the very roughest
bit of nature ever seen, ortakea newspa
per, crumple it into a ball, and placing
it on a table suppose all its raised parts
to be peaks and the hollow ravines; pict
ure the sharp edges as ridges more or
less timbered, the hollows bare, smooth,
or steep as the roof of the steepest house
you know of, and youn havg anidea of the
qountains and gorges of the Slopes.
Let us suppose we are standing near
the summit of one of the ridges on a
bright sunny day in January. It has
beon snowing continuously for days, and
the ‘*beautiful” lies in plenteous profus
ion everywhere, six to eight feet deep in
the timbered ridges and any depth you
like in the ravines: the sun get warmer;
up above you, near the crest of the
mountain, little bits of erystals detateh
themselves and go rollinz down the slope;
atiny crack opens ai your feet and
widens across the gulech; in an instant
the whole snowy mass is in motion and
with a hissing, rushing sound and an up
heavel along the edges goes hurling down
the gorge. Faster and faster it glides;
the air is filled with snowy spume: where
you stood it was a rivulet; 4,000 feet be
low it is a mad torrent: the noise increas
es as it gains momentum,
Rocks are torn loose, broken to atoms
or ground to powder, trees uprooted and
broken to pieces, logs smashed |to spin
ters. At half a mile on its path it presents
a crest of twenty or thirty feet in height
and moves faster than an express train:
woe betide any living thing in its way
now. Nothing made by man can stand
before it; the wind of its creation is a
hurricane, a clound of snow and dust
follows in its wak=: in a seething terrent
it pours over rock and precipices
and moving relentlessly on
leaves in its track broken and crushed
fragments of rocks and irees., The thun
der dies, is gone: and the avalanche
passed- Down at the foot of the slope,
a mile away, mountains of snow tossed
up in hopeless chaos, a wild tangle of
rocks, earth, trees and logs remain to
mark the slide, and often, alas, too often,
‘he bodies of brave mmen _caught in its
rush lie buried in its icy embrace,
All around yon can hear; day and
night, the distant, mutted roar of pass
ing avalauches. They come and go at
all tirnes and at all hours: each year a
new on< is created. They have claimed
their blood tribute; each has its record
of brave men done to death. These av
alanches are everywhere: there is not a
wagon road or “a mountain trail that
does not cross the path of several. On
the Kaslo-Slocan road to New-Denver
there are five or Bix; on the Winter road
to Sandon and Cody creek four: all trails
to the mines cross and re-cross these
destroyers: yet 1n all season of greatest
danger there is ‘more traffic on these
roads and trails thau on_many highways
in civilization. Marvelous Jescapes are
an everyday matter. No one hesitates
or delays on acconnt of the veril to be
incurred. Often, very often, the snow
slide passes a few feet from the ore-laden
pack team, but nct always with a warn
ing. In aninstant men and animals are
overwhelmed and tossed like straws in
the boil of seething snow. It is merciful
that death is instantaneous then.
The force of the wind created by one
of these large slides is well-nigh incredi
ble. In the Valley of ,the Illecillawaet,
on the line of the Canadian Pacific, tree
tops are cut off by the force of the wind
on ,the opposite side of the ravine
through which the avalanche descends.
The snow is pressed intn the hardness
ofgice, and literally tears or grinds tn;
powder everything in _its path. The
many {deplorable fatalities that have
lately occurred in the Slocan are partly ‘
due to the destruction of the timber on i
the wooded slopes byjtthe fearful fires
of last summer. trees holding up the snow
and preventing sliding. We read of
many brave and heroic acts, but surely
the patient courage that daily takes even
chances with death on the slopes and in
the mountains of the Slocan deserve
more than a passing tribute,
