been noted Bev eral times within the past ten or fifteen years and the fact that that body of water occupies far less space than when the Americans first settled in tbe San Joaquin valley is very well known Where the water once covered the ground to a depth of several feet is now dry land upon which orchards and vineyards flourish and while there are occasions during heavy rainfall When a disposition to lncrease its bounds is shown yet the general tendency of the lake is continually toward contraction A writer in the Fresno J2rpotor points out the supposed origin of this contraction and the dangers attendant upon too great faith In its permanency The problem of what to do with thi basin oi Lake Tulare will soon be up for consideration before the people of that section of California It is a question of physical geography and a strong one et that yet it is not difficult to understand in one of its phases It is well known that the lake is drying up and in the course of time its bed will have no water in it At this time it is very low but not so low as it was a couple of years ago when it came so nearly dry in gup altogether that the fish died throneh the impurity of the water The reason why the lake contains so much less of water than it did many years ago is not hard to find A little knowledge of geography and of the history of irrigation in Fresno and Tulare counties will explain it all As is well known that lake receives its water from the rivers down from the Sierra Nevada and a little from the rivers ot the Coast ranee Formerly the water all flowed into the lake keeping it full nearly all the time The floods of winter and spring brought down more river water than the hot weather and the drought of summer and autumn could carry off by evaporation Thus while the water line might be a tew feet lower in the fall than in the spring yet the rains of winter would send in water enough to refill it again and thus tbe average was nearly the same from year to year The system of irrigation has cut off the apply The rivers coming from the Sierras have been led out through canals for watering the plains This has lessened the quantity in ihe rivers and as a consequence the lake received less very much less than formerly But all the while evaporation was going on the same as ever and the water began to falL The lake grew smaller and smaller the line of beach became lower and narrower and instead of a lake sixty miles long and some thirty wide with enough depth to float a small steamer the size of Lake Tulare has been decreased until of late years it has seemed inevitable that it must entirely dry up New canals are in contemplation and in course of construction The most notable of these is the large canal that will irrigate the West side This will take water from Kings river which otherwise would flow into Lake Tulare A large snpply will thus be cut off and a smaller quantity than ever will enter the lake Consequently it will sink lower than ever and will most likely become entirely dry in tbe summer Two years ago it was little more than a pond of mud and had the dry weather continued a little longer it would have become entirely dry and a wide waste of sediment would have marked the site of the former lake What will be the result when it does become dry is a question not hard to answer Much of tbe ground that formerly was covered many feet deep by water is now dry and for years has been and is laid out in farms and is thickly settled As the water bas receded of late years the settlers have followed the water line further and further and the re claimed land is nowthe homes of a prosperous people Houses stand nenr the present beach and when the beach goes still further down there is no doubt but that it will be taken by settlers and made into homes The physical geography which goes to explain the reason why Lke Tulare is there may be of interest although to many the fact is well known Formerly the San Joaquin valley had a regular incline from the souibern limit of Kern to San Francisco bay and the rivers all Bowed north into that bay Tulare river Kern Tule White Kaweah and Kings rivers all emptied into the bay of San Francisco But Kings river coming in from the east and a large creek from the Coast range on the west just opposite brought down in the course of ages debris and deposited it in the valley This accumulated Jrom year to year till a ridge was formed entirely across the vaiiey from side to side 1 his served as an embankment or dam to keep back the water in the southern end of the valley Kern river Tulare Tule and the others could not pass the high ridge running across the valley from the Coast Range to ihe Sierras and as a consequence the water formed in a lake south ot this ridge Thia was the origin of Lake Tulare There was no outlet to the sea unless the whole southern eud of the valley should fill up and overflow the ridge Kings river divided and one part passed to the south of this ridge into the lake while the other part took the northern side and emptied throneh Cole slough into the San Joaquin in times of high water it is possible for a small steamer to pass np Cole slongh into Kings river and down Kings river into 1 uiaee lake In the future there is liable to be some interesting history in that section of the countrv foutb of the dividing ridge that ibutt in Tuiare lake Tbe water taken out for irrigation has caused the lake to grow smaller and people now have homes where ibrmerly were many feet of water The old lake bed is settled with people A time may come and almost certainly wil come when the iakewili fill again to a size something likeit was formerly It is well known that the distrlctsthat have been long under irrigation are tilled with water almost to the surface of the eround No irrigation or at least tery little irrigi i uon it neeaea mere now i no water passes on into new districts to fill their thrifty soils In course of time the whole country will have beeomefilled with water and there wilt be ho need of further irrigation or verylittleu Then ihe water will not be taken oulnbon the plains bat will be lowed tofoliow the

Jivinteraporardy in Paris receive frequently from friends and ae quainianees and Sometimes from strangers inquiries about the cost of living and the best way of Enjoying life cm a small income Some of the inquiries are curious A young and vain Englishwoman wrote to an acquaintance that she teit that she had cenius but it could not be ripened in England the surroundings being too unsympathetic for a sensitive nature She wanted the brightness of Paris to bring out her natural colors To be conscious of having most of the qualities that make a woman famous on the stage or in society and yet be in obscurity was too bard for her to bear and she desired to know whether sucn a woman as aha professed to be could become a celebrity in Paris on an income of T550 a year Another woman with Whom marrkge had been a failure wrote that she Was buried in a country parsonage with a husband to whom she could not look up and as she could not lead the life of a hypocrite she desired to live in Paris a city of life and liberty rand seek her fortune as a musician An impression prevails that the cost of living in lodgings in genteel parts of Paris is not very large but the fact is that some of the items amount to considerable in tbe course of a month This is an account of the experiences of a resident My coal wood coke and charcoal bill for the kitchen one sitting room where the Are goes out when liro put with a fire one day the week in the salon comes to 9 and 10 a month for about six months in addition 1 pay about 3 a month for a small gas stove lor heating water quicsly for tea orAhasty cooking at night I believe I am cheated in weights and measures as I must buy at retail One can get rooms for two servants only in very costly flats I have paid 1000 rent and had only a room for one servant A fairly good servant asks for from 9 to a month gets at least 60 cents a week for wine receives a dozen linen aprons and has the washing of her underclothes and caps paid for One fresh from the country wants broth and a big lump of bread for her first breakfast The French servant requires a meat and vegetable lunch and dinner but she hardly ever asks for a holiday 8he prefers to sleep in the sixth story the whole of which is for servants instead of in her employers flat No servant in Paris will attend to five children and adelicate woman The baby must be sent out to nurse or a nurse must be brought in A nurse gts high wages and she must be petted and provided with dainty food Tea and sugar are luxuries Good tea costs from 11 to 2 a pound Rib beef costs about 32 cents a pound and fillet 50 cents Sometimes families living in the same house club together for meals Where the household including servants numbers about twenty five persons the cook gets 20 a month and 1 cent in 20 on all grocers and butchers bills The families are in many instances ofishools irom common parents and they live in peace harmony and economy Aiw York Sun A MCE Fast Run of a Sledge and Dog Team Ten

proper thing to say that the progressive spirit of the ace is leaving the barbarism of war behind and that as civilization advances it will learn less of war Arbitration is now the sovereign panacea for that national ilL But as a matter of fact war has never been so carefully and so systematically studied as at the present time The genius of invention has never been so prolific as now in devising and improving implements of war That man is honored and enriched who contrives means of destroying the greatest number of human beings in the shortest space of time As the conduct of war becomes more scientific and the art be comes refined and tbe implements more destructive the recurrence of war is lessened the duration shortened and the loss of human life diminished This is the direction the spirit of the ago is taking a direction in the interests of humanity These humane conditions however involve an advanced stage of preparation As a science war should be sedulously cultivated by tbe few qualified to undertake it as an art it should be constantly practiced by the entire body set apart for that purpose and with the implements actually to be used in war It is to this state of preparation that we owe the peace of Europe to day The mere presence of the American army on our southern frontier in 1866 was sufficient to cause ihecolispse of Louis Napoleons scheme for a Mexican empire By a perfect state of preparation a collision of arms was avoided and the shedding of blood spared To be unprepared is wicked It Invites aggression and a useless effusion of blood Tbe question of an empire in Mexico supported by French bayonets was not one lor arbitration We simply would not have it There is a certain class of international questions for which arbitration is admirably suited there is another class for which it is not suited at all for which it is totally inadmissible It is the htmb thai advocates arbitration even though the life and honor of the fold be involved while the wolf maintains a lofty indifference to ull sucii methods of proceeding Venezuela has been for years past supplicating for arbitration on tbe question of boundary between her own territory and that claimed by England but it is only within the last lew months that the latter ppwerhas according to report tormaily declined the good offices of the United States in that controversy Arbitration was inadmissable in 1660 61 when so sorely needed War which had been in the course of preparation for thirty years preceding its outbreak was the only solution of the great problem It had

had taken their dogs and sledges as it was easier to follow a trail on foot arid as a consequence nearly all the dogs were scattered around through the tnow Tillage near the ships andthe best sledges were leaning against the snow houses tays Frederick Schwatka in St Xicholat In half an hour it would be so dark that they could do little and the missing man must be reached before thai tims Instantly orders were given to bring together all the best dogs of the village with their harness on while four or five men hastily iced the runners of one of the best sledges Twenty dogs to a single sledge is about the greatest number ever used by these natives and this large number is uncommon eight or nine being the usual team This team however increased to a score of dogs before it was really known bow strong it had grown and there were yet some twenty in harness in the hands of tbe men women and boys who had scurried around and picked them Up and were now waiting to have them hitched to the sledge Fortunately the very best dog driver of the village was present and having made a long ltading hne of strong sledge lashing reaching from the sledge ten or twelve feet beyond the team already hitched be fastened on a new and second team of twenty dogs This doubling of teams is not very unusual wnenever two or more sledges are together on a journey and a short bard pull has to be made but never in the history of that region had a double team of perhaps forty fine dogs been known and especially to draw only aa unloaded sledge It seemed impossible to foretell how rapidly the swift dog would go with the mere leather of a light sledge fastened behind them It would be like fastening two huge locomotives to a handcar and tnrning on ail tne steam The sledge was kept turned upside down to prevent tbe dogs irom mating a Doit lor ward which they are prone to do when first hitched whenever anything ahead attracts their attention and to assist the drivers in this restraint of their animals a great circle of sailors and Esquimaux men women and children formed in front of the teams The best driver of the Village turned the ice sledge over carefully and took his position on the right side of tbe slats about the middle of the sledges length stretched out with his feet to the rear His companion driver took a similar position on the left side The best drivers can use the whip as well in the left as in the right hand These whips are very long the lash often being fifteen to twenty feet in length A strong lashing of seal thongs woven diagonally across the slats gave the dog drivers something to hold on by in their perilous flight across the icy fields and hummocks to the other side of the bay Over the front ot the sledge lay one of the drivers with a sharp knife in his hand It was his duty to cut the trace of any dog that snould fall or of any whose aar ness was entangled in a projecting hummock of ice forin such a wild flight there would be no timtf to unharness it and it would be draggid to death beiore the sledge could be stopoed In fact it was very doubtful whether such a team going at a wild excited gait could be stopped at all until it had ran some five or six miles enough to take some of the ardor out of the high spirited animals When all was ready the principal dog driver gave a signal to the crowd in front of his team and from the center they parted in both ways to the sides Tbe dogs jumped on their feet at the well known warning sound and started at a trot which with a few cuts from the gauntlet of whips they bad to run aided by those of the drivers they soon broke into a run and then the relief party whisked out of sight like a rocket Its further movements could be seen and reported only from the masthead The race for life or death was begun and the enemy to be contended against was the approaching darkness Away went the sledge bounding from the crest of one snow ridee to that of an other with not a sign of sledge truck between except ou a tew long almost level stretches In a few seconds more it had gone so far that even from the masthead only its general movements could be noted Meanwhile the drivers were alert to avoid striking small projecting hummocks of ice which would have ripped the covering or shoe of ice irom the sledge runners and materially lessened their rapid gait Anxiously the return of the parjy wa awaited for it was a long distance to go in the Short time before darkness It was nearly two hours before tbpy returned and great was the rejoicing otthe crew at seeing the lost sailor with them a re joicing only exceeded by his own ihe return naa oeen maao very leis urely compared with the splendid dash of ten miles out Tbe width of the channel was well known from accurate surveys Of course there was much

Slaughter of Big Game In Africa An article by Mr Bryden in the last Proceedings of the British Zoological Society says the days of the giraffe are numbered A few years ago herds of seventy or eighty of them were often met in various parts of Africa Mr Bryden says that nineteen giraffes are now a large herd They have been hunted so mercilessly both by natives and foreign sportsmen that they are rapidly becoming extinct Tbe intelligent African King Khama has however taken the giraffe under his nrotection and hones to save it from ex termination He has forbidden the hunt ing of tbe giraffe in his large domain and in this way he hopes they will multiply in bis country it is an interesting isct mat Russia bas preserved the European bison from extinction by setting apart a forest of Lithuania for them and permitting no one to molest them Recent explorers in Southwest Africa say that the ianna has changed greatly during the last thirty ot forty years Dr Henry Schlicbter in a paper he read

are no longer to be found in any part of Souhwest Africa on account of their ceaseless slaughter by European hunters fas well as by the natives since the latter have possessed breech loaning guns The most important among these animals the elephant has wholly disappeared from this part of Africa except in the neighborhood of Lake NgamL Anderson one of the early explorers of this region said that 1200 pounds of ivory could be bought at Lake Njrami for a musket According to Livingstone In three years not less than U00 elephants were killed near the little Zonga rive alone How much their numt er has diminished is shown by the present very small ivory export from Waltish bay which amonnts to about loOO pounds per annum while iu 1875 it Was as high as 37000 pounds The various kinds of animals would doubtless increase again if some protective measures Were taken in their behalf but there axe notmany Khamas amonY the impor tant men oiAtrica1wno nave snmcient foresight to endeavor in the interests of their own people to prevent the extermination of these valuable antanls AW Fort fiun FAST TGAVL1KG A ITlylng Trip Made From St Joseph to Council Bluffs The scene of record smltsUhg feats

Philadelphia 31bvw1 happened on a little town or jcblony of Holland Dutch one of jthe cleanest ahdfmost beantlfnliy situated villagesI had seen In all my wanderings I hadr rrfenirt tho saddle for seyer weeks and was needing rest and concluded I would stop oyer lor few days and recrnit my iosf energies before Uking the long and arduous JourV ney IhadJpianned for myselL to the uecesC cbunViry aome seventy miles distant trom UJhanis the yil laga at which was then stopping I found my surroundings very pleas int Indeediand stayed much llonger than I had first anticipatedas thai pec pie seemed so urgent and importunate In their desire ihatriahouldatjterja week as it jvns then about the time to take their annual hunt about the middle ot November and aside from that they Intended making the Nueces country their hunting grounds for this season andwere going right to tho very section lahticiV patetf travelingover In that section of theKueces country along themargin of the riverTin tit widespreadingand nar velouslv fertile bottoms on either side were some of the finest pecan orchards in the whole State I This- hunting excursion usually lasted from the middle of November to the first of Jaiiuarv Now the Dutch do rior do things by halves They were well equip ed botn lor tne camp ana tne nun hey took along a large road wagon drawn by a couple of span of stout sleek oxen with tents and all the necessary camp fixtures both for eating and sleep ing and there were as good marksmen among them as you will find anywhere I had as was my usual custom when traveling any distance alone in that wild conntrv besides mr ever present and trusty pistol and knife swung to my oelt mv wincnester During a residence of several years among the Mexicans I had contracted the habitof eating red pepper chili Colorado and had become so accustomed to the use of it in my food that like the use of to bacco 1 lei lost without it Alter coming back into the America settlements 1 found it very mc nvenientio provide niyselfwiihit so I procured a quantity ot wild pepper which grows spontanea onslv there in Sections a small round pod about the size of A cranberry and called by tbe Mexicans chilipotin This 1 had ground into very fine powder or dust and usually carried about a pound of it in my saddle pockets sealed in a tin perforated like an old fashioned penner box There were a great many wild turkeys in the section where we were going and some bears and deer were seen in herds of from one toow tney were pienmtu i had heard it stated that if vou would take this powderta cayenne pepper and float it on a tin creeze at nignt unaer tne tree where the turkeys roost you could easily catchall that were in that tree as they would verr soon sneeze themselves off the roost andbtagger about at your feet as if nrnne i Npw in that coonlry the limber is scafe taring and wide apart consequently the trees are generally low and spreading and the turkeys seem to roost together in flocks each flock on one tree has a hen and her brood and sometimes as many as twenty roost in one tree ine last day out before we went into camp we had saen a great many turkeys in the evening traveling toward the timber and water feed ing on grasshoppers as theyr went for the prairies sre iiierauy aiivewiin mat insect and at that time of the year they are as large as Egyptian locusts We went into camp about twenty four Of us all told about two hours before sunset and soon made up a company cf eight for a turkey shoot led by a burly Dntchrhan of about two hundred avoirdupois Who had the reputation among his owp people of out ripping iip van truutia oimieiu We arrived in due time at the roost which was not more than a mile from camn hut as the trees they had selected were the evergreen Jive oak which re tains its foliaee the year round and it neing rather dark in the early part of the evening we tounu we snouia nave to wait lor the moon to rise sofScientiy Jhigh to see anything among the timber I had selected a favorable looking tree for a roost and had settled myself with my back against the tree when looking hp I discovered to my great delight three large turkeys on one limb hot more than ten feet anove my head Itoccnrred to one in an instant that now was my lime to try the pepper experiment as I should hot dare to shoot till the eignal came 1 nnwraDPed rhr Deoner boi and mofed cautiously out from the tree immediately under the limn Where tne turkeys were sitting aU unconscious 6f the treat in store for them I lilted my box above my head and jiave it a shake to throw the light powder into the breeze at the same time giving it a watt upward byia vigorous pnft 1 stepped back from the place a few teet toavoia the pepper when 1 perceived something approaching me in on upright posture I BUpposedit tobeone ofoiny partyi and stood gazing at the object hatil retreat was Useless as it bad gotten in reach of me before discovered what it was a nil grown black beir 1 thought ihe hair of my head would leave the scalp Myf hat certainly rose to realms Of less danger Then It was that hepepperprovedjitsnselulnesslntmore ways tnan oue AsniSiioearsnipwBS pro ceedihe very affectionately to embrace bis new acqriaiutance snufang as though he was delighted to meet me with his mdnth partly open and his great muscular tongue lolling from one side of his mouth to the other I emptied the whole contents of the box into his benign but deceitful face Thentte fun began As I threw the pep peri jumped back from the bear to avoid bU em oraceand made fortny gun about ten steps a way which I had left leaning against the tree Themoonby this time had risen suf ficiently to send ifsrsyi througiithe interstices between the trees and you could see very plaiuly in one of those rays of iwat tne iunny amies oi tne oear xne turkeys by that time had Inhaled enough of the cayenne to make them restless and such a coughing and sneezirig arose a was a iin to Davy Crockett Xwas blessed with a itery ieenjsense of ihe ludicrous and that scene surpassed anything that I bad ever witnessed In deeditwas with great difficulty that 1 restrained myself front falliug prostrate on the rround and rolling over and over until my rlsibles were folly Satisfied Knowing that I had the hear as rood as chained to a post as he had almost rubbed hiseyes put and was so prostrated front the powerful exertions to rid himself of his terrible tormentor that lie was poweriesi IP 4k any mischief and imable even to see hSsiray out of it 1 felt safe in Just keeping out of his Teach and watching the fun Tbe turkeys by this time were getting in an equallybad fix and in a few minutes nine of the in had fallen from their perch and were flopping About On tbe
