Trouble Possible When Jap*
Reach Atlio
It U tot impossible that there will be
trouble at Atlio when the Japanese
laboring men arrive there to begin
work to the mines. Recent arrlvtls
from the British Columbia camp say
that there was a good deal of talk about
the news ihat they were to he brought
In, and that there were not a few who
admitted freely that they were ready
to act with the miners la notifying the
men from the Orient to "move on."
But, ycorJlog to a well post man j
arriving from Atlio this wee?, the j
people had made up their minds that
trie report that Jap- were comlog In
was a mistake, and the excitement
over the first publication of the news ;
had died down to some extent.
On the other hand ther> are a good |
many of the miners over ;there, accord
ing to this authority who "re willing
that Japanese labor should be employed
to a llmiud extent, provided it Is at j
prevailing wages. These admit thsti
there is a scarcity of labor and ibey say
that tf white men cannot be secured
mine owners should be permitted to do
the best thry can. However, those j
who ma-ce this contention are just as!
strongly opposed to cheap labor as any
others, . nd they say that If the
Japs get oss pay than o'her miners,
there will be trouble with i big "T,"
Twice before now have the miners of I
thd Atlln district prevented the impor
tation of J tpjoese Ubor.
Gold Commissioner J. A. Fras.jr is
not favorable to Oriental labor. In

Promisn to the t ingr.
A clergyman, discuss! ; unhappy
love affairs, said:
"Many a love tragedy Is caused by
a husband's promise to a dying wife
that .he will n:tt marry again, lie
thinks when he makes this promise
that It will be easy to keep. "Whether
It Is easy or hard to keep. It Is a
promise rarely If ever broken. Time
and time again widowers have sought
me out for advice on this su >ject.
The.v are In love, but they promised
their dead wives not to marry again.
Shall they break or keep this promise'
1 can only advise them to do as their
<Yiiisclence dictates. At the same time
1 ihink it Is selfish of dying wives to
extract such promises from their bro
ken hearted husbands. Such prom
ises by the way. are rarely extracted
by dying busbauds from broken heart
ed wives. But then, when the dead
h'isband'9 will is rend It Is usually
found that if the widow marries agaiu
the money js all taken from her. So
It comes to the same thing In the eud,

Pomona Collwilon of Antler*.
Of the famous collections of antlers
formed In the seventeenth century only
two or three have escapcd the general
fate of conflagrations, sieves and pil
lage. One of these Is In Moritzburg,
the king of Saxony's historical hunting
castle, near Dresden, while in the cele
brated gun gallery In Dresden Itself
are to be seen In an unrivaled show
the wonderfully Inlaid arms used by
the elector. The u'reat banqueting ball
of the castle of Morltzburg is one of
the sights with which no doubt many
a traveled reader has be.-n charmed.
It Is a chamber of noble proportions,
sixtj -six feet long by thirty -four wide
and thirty-eight feet high. On Its oth

sevei ty-on? pairs of magulficeut ant

most famous of their kind In the world.
Not a single one carries less than
twenty-four tines or Is less than 200

this clock possesses the largest dials
that exist In the world. There are four
of them, one ou each side of the great
square tower, and their extreme diam

feet. The figures showing the hours
are nearly ?Ix and one-lialf feet high,
and the hands have a length of nearly

The wooden boards that had marked
the grave3 in a certain ruml cemetery
rotted off and were raked up In the

In doubt as to which grave belonged
to Captain Blodgett and which to

That afternoon Erlcson. the widower,

It Varied.
The late Judge Saunders of North
Carolina was noted as an angler, but
he had a poor memory as to the weight
of the fish he had taken. On one oc
casion a friend, trying to entrap him.
said, "Say, Judge, what was the weight
of that big catfish you caught the Cher
day?"
The Judge turned to his waiter and
said. "Bob, what did I say that catfish
weighed?"
"What time yesterday, boss? in de
mawiiin', at dinner or after suppah?"
The Moon.
Astronomers long since came to the
contusion that the moon's surface Is
very hot during the height of the lunar
day, which, as will be remembered,
lasts two weeks, and very cold during
the lunar night, which Is equally long.
These extremes of temperature reach
their height at the lunar noon and
midnight and are greater than any
natural temperatures on the earth.
