On the island of Borneo has been
found certain race Of wild creatures
of which kindred varieties have been
discovered on the Philippine Islands,
in Terra del Fuego, and in South Amer
ioa. They walked unusually, almost
erect on two legs, and in that attitude
measure about four feet in hight. They
are dark, wrinkled and hairy. They
construct no habitations, form no fam
lilies, scarcely associate together, sleep
in caves and trees, feed on snakes and
vermin, on ants, eggs, and on each
other. They cannot be tanned or forced
to any labor, and are hunted and shot
among the trees like the gorilla, Of
which they are a stunted copy. When
they are captured alive, one finds with
surprise that their unoouth jabbering
sounds like ariieulate language. They
turn up a human face to gaze at their
captors, and females have instincts of
modesty.

Oh. colossal walls, as crowned
In one eternal thunder!
Sound sound sound
Oh, ye ocean overhead,
While we walk, subdued in wonder,
In the ferns and grasses under
And beside the swift Merced
Fret fret fret!
Oh, ye sounding banners, set
On the giant granite castles
In the clouds and in the snow

We are loyal, valiant vassals.
And we kiss the trailing tassels
Of the banners far below.

To the very valley blossom.

Yet the song bird builds a home,
And the mOssy branches cross them,
And the tasseled tree-tops toss them,
In the clouds of falling foam.
Sweep! sweep sweep!
Oh, ye heaven-born and deep,
In one dread. unbroken chorus!
We may wonder or may weep
We may wait on God before us;
We may shout or lift hand
We may bow down and deplore us,
But NAV never understand.
Beat beat beat
We advance, but would retreat
From this restless, broken breast
OF the earth in cOnvulsion.
We would rest, but dare not rest, ~
For spirit of expulsion 4
From this Paradise below

with ungloved hand- who employ girls tn do the
work Ot the office at beggarly wages, while they
draw their thousands to loaf upon. She makes the
true assertion that women only get half pay for the
same work done by men at double the price. and
tells the fathers they 10 blame. She ridicues
the idea Of States and churches layishing money
