The Japanese are not as mixed a race as the modern Britons, but they have a very complex origin. It is cer tainly not correct to regard them as originally Chinamen, for while they do possess Chinese blood, there Is cer tnInly a Korean strain in them, as well as one derived from the Mnlayaus and another from the Aiuos or aboriginal Inhabitants of the Islands?the "sav ages" of Jnpanese historians.

They say in the army to-day that Tom Cruae can't pick np a ssmple shovel that soma contractor has sub ?kitted for Inspection without coming to an "advance carbine" with it. and later trying to cock the thing, erase for years was am officer In the Sixth Cavalry. Out at Fert Sheridan the other day a retired enlisted man who had served under Cruse some years ago. told the story of how the quarter master officer won the little bit of bronze which on certain occasions he wears pinned to his blouse. In the early summer of 1882 Cruse was s second lieutenant In "K" Troop of, the Sixth Cavalry. He waa out scooting after Apaches down in the very hotteat part of Arizona. The command hud trailed along till It came to the rocky baaln known as the Big Dry Waab. Cruse had something less than a corporal's guard with him. The little band had not seen a sign of an Indian since it set out, but then Apaches are not given to making signs, nor do they wait for formal In traduction before extending warm greetings to those who would cross the threshold of their rocky desert fastnesses. Beyond the baaln of the Big Dry Wash was a natural fortiflcatiou of rocks. Cruse sent a man by the right flank to take a peep behind the bowl ders before crossing. The trooper re turned and reported there was nothing there. Then the little command rushed down into the basin, and hades apened from behind the rocks to their front. The fire was concentrated and 1 terrific. Two of the six saddles were emptied and the mounted command gave way and sought the shelter of the rocks to the rear. Under the trumping hail of bnllets. Cruse lifted & wounded trooper to his saddle and bore him back to shelter, where the men ^dismounted and took what count they could of their hidden enemy across the basin.' It was supposed that the second trooper who had fallen in the open was dead. While looking out across the waste between him and the am bushed savages Cruse saw the fallen trooper move. Then there happened one of those things which a single line in the medal of honor list tells about, but to which a whole volume can not do justice. Cruse, carbine In hand, stood straight up, a fair and easy mark for a bullet. A tawny face showed beyond and an eye glanced along a rifle barrel. Before the weap on spoke, Cruse's carbine sent a bullet straight through the Apache's head. Then he rounded the rock In front and strode across the open towards the wounded soldier. At every stride be fired. He was one of the crack shots of the army and the bullets scared the rocks close to the heads of the lurk ing reds. They lind seen their comrade's head split clean at ir>0 yards. They dared not expose themselves enough to take careful aim. but they answered the officer's challenge with a scattering volley. He reached the moaning trooper. Behind him had come two of his men. "Pick him up. boys." said Cruse, "and I'll cover the retreat." lie stood ther<? facing the enemy's lurking place. A savage braver than the rest stood up and fired. The bul let scratched Cruse's arm. but an ounce of load crashed Into the Apache's head. Cruse walked backward, while behind him his two devoted men bore their stricken fellow. Bullets tore up the sand, but the magnificent nerve and courage of the soldier who sent back true a shot for every volley pslsled the Apaches' aim. Back to their breastworks the sol diers went with their burden. Cruse standing erect and sending one last shot before sinking to cover. Then re-enforcements came and eighteen savages were put to flight. To-day It Is nothing but two cents* worth of bronze and a bit of ribbon that re minds one of the gallantry on that July day In the basin of the Big Dry Wash. ?Edward B.

A plelghload of people In Cass County, Minnesota, were pursued by a pack of Solves the other day. The pur sued dropped doughnut* along the way, and the wolves fought so hard for the delicacies that the whole party got home In safety. Two lumbermen in the employ of Sara Simpson, a log ;er operating In the neighborhood of Dulutb, Minn., heard the howl of a wolf when they were about a mile ?rjm their cabin. The men hastened :cward camp, but did not apprehend iny real danger. In a few minutes a wolf was heard it much closer range. Then several tverc beard at various points.

Wild rabbits saved the lives of Bishop Peter E. Howe, Episcopal Bish op of Alaska, and his companions. In March, while they were en route over the new mall trail .from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Valdez. Bishop Rowe made the Journey with a mall carrier named Karstens and John Chilson. They went through Ciolcona Valley to Copper River. At the top of the divide they were to meet and obtain provisions from a mail carrier named Frayne, bound from Valdez to Fairbanks. Either Bishop Rowe's party or Frayne missed the trail and they passed each other miles apart. Their food was exhausted, compelling the Bishop and his comrades to depend upon their gun for sustenance. Rabbits formed their sole diet for three days until they reached a mining camp and obtained food. The trip was very hard, tiriug both dogs and drivers. Bishop Rowe seemingly enjoyed the hardships, hav ing become Inured through thousands of miles of arctic winter travel while visiting his widely separated missions. Each day he steamed rabbits while 1*' tired companions rested. ALONE, MET CHARGE OF 700. A dispatch from Gynngtse, Tibet, gives the details of the Tibetan attack oxt Kangma post, in which one Sepoy killed and six wounded formed the total British losses. The onslaught of Tibetans began at dawn. They de scended a hill In two solid masses. A part of the troops had already started to march from the post, but those out* side the fortifications Immediately ran back to cover, save one Sepoy. He re fused to budge and received the charge of the whole 700 Tibetans. After shooting five of them he was cut down, despite a heavy fire from the post The Tibetans reached the walls and attempted to climb over, hacking at the men at the loopholes with their swords, and even seizing the muzzles of the protruding rides. Meanwhile those behind kept up a furious lire with matchlocks and Lhasa rifles. The Tibetans kept up the. attack for half an hour with the utmost ferocity. They then withdrew, the garrison pursuing them. Kindly "Dogs of War." The latest movement of the F.ussians to provide further aid for their wound* eii. which Is badly needed, is the util ization of dogs. The German Emperor has presented three Scotch dogs which have been trained In ambulance work to the Russian Dog Breeders' Association, and after they have been tested they will be ?ent to the Far East.

President Bumstead has announced that he Is In receipt of a letter from Mr. Cacnfigle in which he states that he will donate $25,000 for a library building. The Atlanta University Is located on Tattnall and Vine streets. In the extreme western portion of the city, and is one of the foremost Negri* colleges in the south.

It is said that the donation of Mr. Carnegie will doubt less be accepted, as the library can easily make assurance of as liberal pport as required. ? ? ? ? A Chance for Colored Teachers. The Florida state superintendent has located summer schools, all to be gin on July 11th, at the following places: Tltusvllle, for whites alono Palatka, for both races. Monticello, for both races.

The school at Palatka. besides the usual instructions for teachers holding county cortIflcates. will contain de partments giving teachers the oppor tunity to review, who are preparing for examination for state certificates, as well as for primary certificates. ? ? ? * Colored Military Not Wanted. The Atlanta (Ga.) Journal in a re cent Issue contained the following: Announcement that. Colonel William O. Obear, the Inspector general of state troops, had recommended the dis bandment of the Negro troops of the state has aroused widespread Interest in military circles, and it may be that several bills will be introduced at this session of the legislature to carry out the recommendations of the in spector general. The officers' asso ciation has already made a similar rec ommendation. The following is what Colonel Obear says about tho disbandmcnt In his re- ! port: "Tho passage of this law (Dick bill). requires serious consideration of the question whether the colored troop* should be retained in the service or not. The law templates that they be put on the same equality in every way with other troops and require* the repeal of section :*4 of the mili tary code, which discriminates against them to the extent that it makes the colored officers always Junior to tho white officers regardless of their rela tive If these troops are to be re tained and their status is to be the same as that of tho white troops, it will certainly decrease the enlistment of desirable men in the white organiza tions, for no matter how remote the chance may be men will not desire to put themselves in a position where a colored officer may command them or demand their salutes in recognition of his rank. In addition to this it Is not seen how tho colored troops can be of any practical benefit to the state as they could not bo used to suppress not where white men were engaged without aggravating the affair, and it would be a doubtful experiment to use them on a mob composed of their own race. To equip and arm the seven oompanles of Infantry It will require the expenditure of about $20,000, ap proximately, not taking Into consider ation the colored battery of artillery, and besides this coat they absorb an nually $1,200 In cash of the state milt* tary fund, all of which It is thought by many could ba put to better use on troops that can and would be of ser vice to the state when needed. In Justice to the colored troops. It Is but fair to state that they are now at their highest state of efficiency as re* cards drill, discipline and organization and are composed mostly of well-so lected officers and men of their race but In the very nature of things were they even better than they now are and fully equipped they would be use less as a military unit to the state and a detriment to the other and larger branch of the service." ? ? ? ?

Applause for Colored Orator. At the republican national conven tion in Chicago, prolonged applause greeted the introduction of Harry 3. Cummings. a colored delegate from Maryland, who was one of tbe speak ers seconding the nomination of President Roosevelt. Mr. Cannon Introduced him as "an American citizen, whose people wore brought from slavery forty years ago and who have made more progress in one generation than any race ever made." Cummings made friends by his re mark that be had been admonished to be brief and intended to obey that advice. A real ovation was given Cum mings as he closed after a few mo ments. Mr. Cannon then advanced to the front of the rostrum and at 1:09 announced the roll call for nomina tions for president Another notable Incident of the convention was when a colored boy, James Blaine Castlun. of Georgia.with long curly hair, was hoisted upon the platform and waved in frantic fash ion a small national flag. ? ? ? ? Peonage in Old Mexico. Advices from Mexico City state that the higher courts have sustained tho decision of the lower court in tho famous peonage oases. Two men who were making a business of contracting poor m?n to go to work in the hot country on plantations, promising tliom high wages and ent.ire liberty to re turn to thc-ir homes on the table-land when their time was up. broke all their pledges. The laborers found that their liber ty was restricted and their wages cut down without causc. This kind of peonage has boen go ing on for some time, even poor street hawkers and peddlers being induced to go as laborers on hot country plan tations, only to And themselves re duced to serfdom. The authorities took up the matter with vigor, and tho practice Is fast being broken up. The government announces its de termination to suppress this crime against the liberty of citlsens.

"Fox after chickens," is a rather pood game. An older person Is tho lox, and her position is to run about pretending to pick up sticks. The ?hen," who Is the mother of the chick ens, should also be an "elder," and should have a long train of chirks behind her, all standing one behind the other, holding on to each other's frocks; tho one next the hen shotfld take hold of her. When tho hen sees the fox she asks him what h? is pick ing up sticks for. "To boll a pan," is the answer. "What Is going to be in the pan?" "A chicken." "Where will you get on??** "From you." Then the fox tries to capture one of the chickens, while the hen tries to dodge the fox and guard her chicks. If the fox catches a chick he takes It to his den. This Is continued until all the chickens are captured. Wonder Horse*. Recent discussions on the laws of heredity In scientific Journals refer to the "Oregon wonder horses," an oqul.fi* family which was famAus not many years ago, the last representative of which Is said to have been exported to Europe a few months ago. One of these horses, known as Lleus I., had, at 14 years of age, a mane 18 feet long and a tall of 21 feet. A son of this horse. Linus II., which was owned at Waddington, N. Y., In 1899. had at about Ave years of age a double mane trailing two feet on the ground on each side. His tall trailed six or eight feet, on th? ground. The mother and the paternal grandmother of Linus 11 were also remarkable for tho length and abundance of their hair. One of them was known as the "Oregon Beauty." These horses are said to have belonged to th* Morgan breed. Ponleg of Small Size. The two smallest ponies In th' world were recently exhibited In Ham burg.
