OGDEN. UTAH. Freight rates from Manila to Hong Kong, a distance of only 700 miles, are as much from San Francisco to Hong Kong, a distance of 8,000. The "abandoned farms of Massachusetts are. fast being taken up. Three years ,ago there were 330 thus classed in the state. A recent enumeration Shows there are now but 136. In Brittany and the lower Pyrenees fairs are held annually at which the peasant girls assemble to sell their hair. Parisian dealers are the chief custmers, purchasing many thousand pounds. The Philippines touch closely upon the gutta percha belt, yet the tree does not grow there indlgenuously, and It is at least very problematical whether it can be cultivated there. It will not grow in Cochin, China, likewise near the gutta percha belt, because the average temperature is too low and the changes too sudden. The emperor of Morocco has a very peculiar band. His private musicians are 80 in number and they all play clarionets, which were made by a London firm. Curiously enough they are all in one key. The emperor takes great delight in listening to the 80 clarionets being blown simultaneously, but he can not convince his court that "music hath charms. ' CTAf Seer Reconcentrado. Over 19,000 Boers are held as prisoners of war. This rather exceeds come estimates made prior to the beginning of the war of the total force the Boers could put in the field. Yet there are still at least 5,000 men fighting with energy, and sometimes with success, as at Wllmansrust last week. It is not improbable that a few more such sue cesses would about double .the Boer force. While so large a number of men are being cared for in prison camps, the British authorities are taking care, after a fastflon, of a much larger number of Boer women, children and old men. They have concentrated 40,229 of them in camps in the Transvaal and the Or- -, snge River Colony. There has been much destruction of farm buildings by the British troops. If these concen-tradhad been left among the ruins of their homes they might have starved there On the other hand, they have not gained much by going into camps. Judging by the rate of mortality that prevails in them. Last month 318 children and 98 men and women died In them. There are many old people in these camps. It is aot surprising that a number of them should die. The mortality among the children is painfully large.. able-bodi- ed Girt ...... That plenty but reproaches me Which leaves my brother bare.

I ' am Teddy McFarland. You have all known me since I was a child. Two years ago I went away to' seek' for gold in the Klondike. While there I worked with a man who once lived in New York. In telling him of the people here I mentioned this man, Hennessy. He asked for more concerning him and recognized him as a former acquaintance. He told me that Hennessy had a wife and children In New ' York, that he deserted them to come west; left them to starve. I can prove what I say. You know it is true. Look at the old rascal. He shows his guilt in his looks, fou don't1 deny It, do you Hennessy? They are all dead, long ago, stammered the old man groping blindly around for his cane. ' "Oh, no . theyre not Hennessy. Theres time enough, yet for you to make amends. Let me help you to your carriage. You seem rather feeble. Hennessy pushed aside the proferred assistance and staggered out of the church.

When five cadets were expelled from West Point for gross and persistent insubordination they invoked public sympathy for their blighted careers, and they have announced' that they intend to have Congress restore them ovef the heads of the authorities. But ten of their comrades have just been dropped for deficiency in their, studies, and nobody seems to have begun any agitation in their behalf, yet a failure in studies is a small matter in determining the quality of an officer compared with a failure in the prime military. of discipline. -essential Grant was not a distinguished scholar at West Point,' but he learned how to command by learning how to obey. Wnen a young man has been at the Military Academy for three, years without mastering that elementary condition of the military life it is plain that he has mistaken his profession. Go, to duty. He was "Just a good fellow-,but he spent an enormous fortune In making other men as drunken and worthless as himself, and in ruining the lives of unfortunate women. He was "just a good fellow. but knowing himself to be a worthless drunkard, he married a respectable girl, the friend of his childhood, broke her heart and drove her to despair. He was "Just a good fellow." but the result of his father's life of industry was wasted on the lowest class of men and women. He never did an honest day's-worknever deserved in any way the food, fresh air and the merciful kindness that permitted him to live for thirty-si- x years.

They caused the only friction in the first conference at Washington in 1890, and they threaten to cause the failure of the Becond one which was to have been held at the City of Mexico this year. Chile cannot agree with Peru and Bolivia on the question whether the Alsace-Lorraicreated In Tacna and Arica by the events of 1881 is a fit subject for arbitration or not.
