CLOCKS REPAIRED. troublesome: ¥ 8ST. X.| Seon ANIMAL COLONIES How England Has Distributed Live Stock and Game, THRIFT AND SPORT WORK TOGETHER The United States is Full of Eng- lish Cattle. THEIR HORSES HERE From the London Spectator. There are in Australia 111,000,000 of sheep, 9,000,000 of cattle and 1,300,000 horses. Except the merino sheep and the camel, recently introduced into west Aus- tralia, we believe that there is no domesti- cated animal in Australia which is not of English steck. Numbers must be consid- ered first if justice is to be done to the Magnitude of this animal movement from west to east; but apart from counting heads, the list of British species entirely omitted from the totals given above, but now firmly established in the new world, is no less striking. All other domesticated fcrms—pigs, all breeds of English dogs, prize poultry and pigeons, in as great va- riety and perfection as they attain in this country—are equally established in Austra- last: and with them the red deer, the Ph int, the trout and, unfortunately, the rabbit and the sparrow. In Australia, and still more noticeably in New Zealand, the new comers, the most vigorous representa- tives of the later types of animal, had a clear advantage over the ancient marsupial forms and the wirgless birds. The pheas- ant, which could both run and fly, dis- places the New Zealand apteryx, and the rabbit gets the better of the wallaby and smaller kangaroos. South America. But while the British animals, with the aid of their owners, were displacing the native creatures of Australasia, they were achieving a parallel success in another continent, and among a population who cannot be suspected of any preferential leanings toward the animals of these is- lands. The Spanish republics of South America were rapidly “Anglicising” their flocks and herds, originally descended and inherited from pure Spanish stock. In Ar- gentina the demand for British-bred ani- mals first arose among the flock masters, though cattle raising was the earlier and national occupation. But the improvement in wool effected by introducing the best English breeds was rapid and obvious, while that in the form and quantity of the cattle was a slower process. But during the last few years the demand for pedigree English cattle for Argentina has been enor- mous. Shorthorns, Herefords and Devons have been imported weekly, and a cross- bred English stock now fills the “corrals” of the great beef and bovril companies of the River Plate. In North America this Anglicising process has spread to all the states of the Union. Half-bred cattle of the states on nearly all the ranches of the beef-producing districts, and the colonizing capacity of different English breeds, is re- commending them for special districts. Thus the Devon bulls are purchased for ranches where the search for pasture and water needs special activity and endur- ance, and red “polled” or hornless Suffolks are used where cattle are being bred for transit by rail or ship, because the ab- sence of horns is then convenient. Jerseys in Brazil. Even tropical Brazil follows the fashion, and English Jersey cows are seen demurely walking through the forest paths by the coffee plantations, and English terriers and pug dogs si: on the laps of Brazilian ladjes. Whether the Jersey cattle will multiply on the planters’ estates time will show; but the spread of our colonizing animals, which are now invading simultaneously the plains of Patagonia anl the North Canadian territory, does not lmit its progress to the direction of the poles. In India the English horse becomes a colonist by second intention, in the form of the “waler,” a sounder and strunger animal than the majority of British hackneys. His Yalue, as compared with the native breeds ef Asia, is still undetermined, but we must accept his presence and survival as a fact. Close on the heels of the purely useful British domesticated animals follow those carrie@ across seas and deserts from mo- tives of sentiment and love of sport. Every week brings news of fresh and suc- cessful enterprises of this kind. In Con- necticut the beginnings of a most anti- republican system of game-preserving are !scen in the success with which pheasants are now being reared. The Connecticut woods are being stocked with these birds, and the state legislature has passed an act protecting them for three years. In Texas, according to the American Field, there is a Texas state pheasantry, and, in uddition, private pheasant rearing es- tablishments are being opened, “with a view to the firm establishment of the pheasant as an American game bird.” Dissemination of Fish. Fish are usually the last British crea- tures to be established in new countries; the means of transport of the ova is a comparatively modern discovery. But a “new country” must be already in process of becoming an old one if such a contem- plative pursuit as §shing is desired. The most recent “state-aided migration” of English fish has been to Cape Colony. There Mr. E. Latour has been engaged since 1802 in hatching out-salmo fario, Loch Leven trout, and brook trout for stocking the Buffalo river and other South African streams. The work was begun at a large brewery, the cool spring which suited the manufacture of British beer being also adapted for the British fish. Later the work was carried on with great ‘$8 at the hatchery of the King Will- Town Acclimatization Society, six hundred miles from Cape Town. The eggs mainly came from Guildford and Hasle- mere, and hatched well, tens of thousands of fry being reared. The only doubt is whether the fish which can live as fry in the cool upper waters of these rivers wiil endure the higher temperature of -he lower reaches. CHILDREN OF THE SEA. The Family of Capt. Carson of the Manx Ship Manx King. From the Portland Oregonian. That cut of a family of four children three should be born at sea, and on one ship, is a remarkable cccurrence, which, taken into consideration with the fact that the only child of the family born ashore did not live to be a week old, makes it more so. The children are those of Cap- tain ard Mrs. Carson, and they first saw the light of day in the cabin of the Manx ship Manx King. Captain Carson's family consists of two sons and one daughter—Tom, Jack and Teresa. Tom, the eldest living child, was torn on the Pacific ocean, about 300 miles off the coast of Chile, but the exact lati- tude and longitude was never determined other than by approximation, as the sky had been overcast for several days prior to his birth. On May 3, 1888, the arrival of the young sailor was becomingly celebrated by the officers and crew of the ship. Teresa was born in the storm center of the most dreaded coast in the world, al- most off the peak of Cape Horn, on March 24, 1891, when the Manx King was in lati- tude 54.42.16 south, longitude 73.35.14 west. living gale’ the tte stranger: mado het is le ie litt 3 » When she AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS.

No matter at what angle the ship may ride, nor how much it may pitch and toss, the children of the Manx King play in ‘the ship's cabins.

Three Different Methods in Use at the. ‘ Same Time. J. G. Carlisle in the Fortin” ; 5 The electoral system, which, even accord-: ing to its original design, was never consist- ent with our theory ‘of government, is, in my opinion, the source of all the greatest dangers to which we are now subject. It was not only inconsistent with our theory of government, but inconsistent with itself; for, if the people were, in fact, incapable of selecting a President or Vice President by a direct vote, they were equally incapa- ble of selecting competent agents to per- form that duty for them. Under this system there is no uniform constitutional rule for the selection f elec- tors, and there have been frequent pericds in our history when three different methods were in actual operation at the same time; some states choosing by the votes of their legislatures, some by the votes of the peo- ple, on a general ticket, and others by the votes of the people in separate districts, each district choosing one elector. It is manifest that, in a inatter of so great and general concern as is the election of a chief executive for the whole country, there should be perfect uniformity in the pro- ceedings of the different states, in order that the people of each state may exercise their proper share of power in determining the result. If in one state the clectors are chosen by a vote of the icgislature— not elected for that purpose, and, perhaps, not representing the will of the people on that subject—and in another the whole electoral vote is given to a single person, simply because one set of electors received a majority or a mere plurality of the popular vote, while. in a third the. electoral vote is divided between two or more candidates, because the popu- lar vote was taken by districts, it is evi- dent that, as regards this important func- tion, the equality of the states ani people 1s destroyed, and that, consequently, great injustice must be done to one side or the other in the contest. The Constitution not only permits all these different methods, but there many other ways in whicn elec- tors might be constitutionally appointed, if the legislatures should see fit to adopt them. In times of great excitement, the temptation to resort to unfairness means— especially if such means be legal and con- stitutional—to secure advantages over po- litical opponents, may become too strong for successful resistance, and new methods may be found to prevent a just and equit- able distribution of political power among the people. There are now forty-five states in the Union; and yet, under the practice now pre- vailing, a President ani Vice President may be elected by a bare majority of the votes, or even by a pluarelity, in twelve states—being three less than one-third of the whole number—aithough sil the people in i the other states may vote for the viner persons.

The hunters sat up telling yarns at the chapel until nearly daybreak. At 4 o'clock the dogs were sent into the thicket, and an hour later they were in full cry after a gigantic lobo, which they overhauled in 1 hour and 20 minutes from the time he left his lair. The big wolf was overfed on fat pigs and lambs. His fangs were still bloody from the prey of the previous night. Although heavy and not pre- pared for a good run, he put up a savage fight and disabled two of the dogs. The hunters rode up and soon dispatched the great, shaggy monster. In the run_the wolf circled a mountain called “Potato Hill” and several times crossed the Cotton Belt track. Once he dashed through the town of South Bosque. A train of cars passed and the passengers could partly discern the chase in the early morning twilight. The dogs were watered after the first brush, their wounds attended to, and just before 7 o'clock they were sent back into the thicket, from which they quickly emerged with a gigantic wolf leading them, howling and snapping his jaws as he ran. The second wolf was in better trim for run- ning. He, too, made straight for Potato Hill with the dogs strung out behind hini, and after a fierce running fight and several recrossings of the Cotton Belt track, he rushed into ‘the midst of the hunters and offered hattle to the entire world. Seeing that his foes, human and canine, were mul- tiplying, he lost heart and again took to flight and went circling through the farms, arousing the entire settlement. The farm- ers and their families turned out and cheer- ed the hunters. Neighborhood dogs jeined the hounds in the chase, and when at length the weary, bleeding wolf turned to bay and died fighting, hundreds of people and dogs were around him. His skin shows that he was the largest wolf ever killed in McLennan county. He disabled three dogs in the fight. The hunt will be continued until the wolf kennels in the “lost league” are broken up. The King James Version is Still the One in Common Use. From Leslie's Weekly. A new Bible is being published. It is called the Polychrome, because it is print- ed in many colors in order to show the various manuscripts from which the text was derived and indicate the time when the book was written. Prof. Paul Haupt, who is one of the scholars engaged in the work, informs us that each part is in the hands of the most distinguished authority in that special work in the world. Tie ef- fort is to concentrate the best schdlarship of both hemispheres upon the production of a translation that shall be as absolutely accurate as it is possible to get. The alm is the correct translation of the Bible into the best of modern English. “We do not in- tend it to supersede the authorized ver- sion,” says Prof. Haupt, “preferring that it shall be in the nature of a commentary upon that; but we do desire it to supersede the revised version, for that simply de- stroys the beauty of the authorized version without making it much clearer.” It will comfort the faithful to know that none of the great facts or doctrines of the Bible is changed in this translation. The mozt exect scholarship does not materially af- fect the accuracy of the greatest book the world has ever known. Aside from its spiritual significance, the Bible seems to be a miracle in itself. It is now read in over 300 languages and dia- lects, and through the Bible societies alone during this century more than three hun- dred million copies have been distributed. The history of the translation may be found in any cyclopaedia, but the main point of interest is that the King James version of 1611 has been the Bible of the pulpit and the home. When the convocation of Can- terbury in 1870 appointed a committee to act with the scholars of other denomina- ticns on a revision of the Old and New Testaments it was thought that the pop- ularity of the King James version would be destroyed. Fifty-two of the ablest di- vines and scholars of Great Britain and twenty-seven of the leading clergymen of ‘The version of 1611 is the Bible the people read. The great cost of the Polychrome translation will preveut its general acceptance, even if other merits forced its superiority. Thus the decided probability is that the King James’ version will be the Bible not only of this gencra- tion, but of several generations to come. . Henry George as a Financier.
