When flying, the wings of this ill-omen-
ed beast measured from tip to tip. at least
FIVE times the diameter of its body. 1t is
of deep jet black color, the body being
covered with a heavy fur. 1t is very
savage, being constantly on the alert to
attack. Whether this animal is full and
perfect vampire, whose feats of lulling
man to sleep with the waving fan-motions
of its wings, while sucking IN the victims
very heart-blood, is yet question. for as
yet it has not been examined BY any
scientific man. Its appearance is, how
ever, enough to suggest the truth OF such
horrible surmise. Be- it as it may, the
little NIicronasan Island has always borne
a weird and frightful reputation among the
native inha bitants of the adjoining islands.
Strange stories of cannibalism, tales OF
savage, idolatrous practices, poison valleys.
and the ike are constantly connected IN
their minds with its name, aud in the small
matter of being possessed of blood-imbib
ing vampires in addition to all the other
horrors, few of them would think the mat
ter extraordinary"

CLEAN HANDs-The world moves. 1t
is not so respectable as it was a few years
ago to be rascal. People are learning
the lesson that clean hands are desirable.
both for personal comfort and pleasant
social intercourse. Tney really seem to
De learning that purity pays, and that per-
sonal honor and incorruptibeness are
good Investment. Rogues and rings are
having tough time of it, and it is their
own fault if the young and ambitious men
who are now coming upon the stage of ac-
tiOn do not learn to place so high price
upon themselves that neither wealth nor
power can buy them. The rascalities of
the New York Ring are all exposed, and
the members OF that Ring have either run
away, or are staggering before public opin-
ion and the law, disgraced and degraded
men. Bribery in Congress stands exposed
and rebuked, while naCes that were pure
have received a tarnish that can never be
polished away. Men who have held their
heads high in the nation, bow those heads
in shame over hands which are soiled be-
yond cleansing. We call no names, hut,
scattered up and down the land, gre t
regulations lie in ruins. Men who had
wealth which they stole, and men who had
positions which they bought, and men
who used their public Office to push their
private schemes. are thrown high and dry
out of influence, and lie all exposed upon
the rocks of disgrace, where they are sure
to rot or 90 to pieces.
If the young politicians of the country
will learn the lesson that the facts which
we have recounted are so well calculated
to teach, better times for the country lie
in the future. Personal advantage is
mean motive to appeal to, where so vital
question as personal purity is concerned,
but, as there is no danger to morals from
any other appeal. it is we'll to meet temp
tation on its own ground and fight it with
its own weapons. The lesson of the recent
exposure is really needed by none but
those who fancy that they can compass
their ends best by base means and ii
these shall learn from it that, in the long
run, nothing pays 50 well in wealth and
power and safety and comfort as virtue,
they will learn that which will be of in
calculable benefit to them and to the coun-
try. No money was ever won by treach-
cry to trust, that did not harm the winner.
No power was ever achieved by bribery
or retained By falsehood that did not
scorch the palm of him who held it. The
consciousness of ill-desert, the loss Of self
respect, the fear of exposure aud the self
commitment to life of deception, which
60 always with possessions unworthily
won, are poison in the blood, and the ex-
posure, sooner or later, is as sure to come
as death.-F G. Holland ScribRer's for

Like fragments of an uncompleted world,
From icy bleak Alaska white with spray,
To where the peak of Darien lie curled
In clouds, the broken lands loom bold and gray
The seamen nearing San Francisco bay,
Forget the compass here; with sturdy hand
They seize the wheel, look up, then bravely lay
The ship to shore by snowy peaks that stand,
The stern and proud patrican fathers of the land.
They stand, white stairs of Heavcn-stand, a line
OF climbing, endless and eternal white.
They look upon the far and flashing brine,
Upon the boundless plains, the broken hight
OF fKamakin's battlements. The flight
Oftime is underneath their untopped towers.
They seem TO push aside the moon at nj ght,
To jostle and unloose the stars. The flowers
OF Heaven fall about their brows In shining
showers.
They stand, a line Of lifted snowy isles,
High held above a tossed and tumbled sea-
sea of wood in wild unmeasured miles;
White pyramids of Faith, where man is free;
White monuments of Hope that yet shall be
The mounts of matchess and immortal song
1 look far down the hollow days; see
The bearded prophe Is, simplesouled and strong,
That fill the hills and thrill with song the needing
throng.
Serene and satisfied supreme white, lone
AS God, they loom above clond-banners furled
They look as cold as kings upon throne;
The mantling wings of night are crushed and
curled
As feathers curl. The elements are hurled
From off their bosoms, aud are hidden so,
Like evil spirits, to an underworld.
They stretch from Cariboo to Mexico,
A line of battle tents in everlasting snow.

The EDUCATION OF GIRLs-The Lesson of
the Atlantic Disaster.-The Independent,
aludIng to the TACT that not WOMAN was
saved from the wreck Of the Atlantic, at
tributes 1t to their lack of strength, and
SAYS:
1t is one of the saddest bluuders of our
modern civilization that it dIscrimin ties
against women's health, while assuming to
spare them 1t should be the aim in the
culture of the human race to secure to our
men all the best qualities of women, aud to
our women all the best qualities OF men.
Physical strength is one of the graudest
possessions of man, because it is the foun-
dation of mental and moral powers. The
education which disparages 1t in women is
radically wrong. Our boys are growing up
to be athletes and our girls to be inval;ds.
4 young me1 who cannot march from twenty
to forty miles In a day l. regarded with
disdain. y young wuman who can do it is
prodigy. These things ought not 50 to be-
TIE trouble is in a vicious public sentiment,
which thinks it degrading for girl to run
barefoot, ike a boy; to be colored by the
sun; to ride and shoot and fish and swim; in
short. to live out of doors aud ieel as friends
the wind and the raI8, the sunshine and the
frost. Uuless the present vicious culture Of
girls be corrected, we shall have in gener-
alton or two, if we have it not already, in
the civilized variety Of the human race, the
dedicate" health of its females developed As
a genuine ins. lnce of what Darwin calls
secondary sexual characters, as constant as
the name in the male lion or the peneIlled
feathers in the female Hamburg fowl. The
strength of women at the crisis of their life
depends on their physical culture while
children. Let parents be no more ashamed
of their girls brown faces and fists than of
their BOYS Let them train and clothe them
so that they can run and climb and care
for and protect themselves. Let them take
them with their brothers into the harvest
field. 4 hoy IS not ashamed of work; no
more shJuld be a girl. The refinement that
shut q girl out of Gods sunshine, and
allows her no rougher work in-doJrs than to
embrOider worsteds, or tap ivory keys. or
dust marble mantel is refining her off of
the face of the earth to give place to the
daughters OF the servants In the kitchen.
Their coarse work is healthy and honorable.
We honor it; and among our occasional
contributors there is hardy one of whom
we feel more proud than OF a woman-a
lady-who is not ashamed to earn DER living
as cook and hOusemaId, working Tor months
wages.

A CALIFORNIA VAMPIRE-The San Fran
cisco Alta has description of a vampire
recently caught by the second mate Of the
steamship Nevada
"While the steamship Nevada was
about eighty miles off one Of the minor
isles of Micronesia, on its way up from
Australia to this port at about six o'clock
in the morning, strange animal of dark
figure was observed to light on the highest
peak of the forward mast Attracted by
its peculiar appearance, the officer Of the
deck, Mr.. Burns, the second mate, offered
one of the sailors small sum to secure it.
The man cambered up the mast with
heavy cloth in his hand, and after slight
struggle, in which be was severely bitten
on the hand, it was secured. Bringing it
to the deck for examination, the beast
proved to be fine specimen of species
of the vampire tribe. This animal closely
resembles the terrodactyle of the antedilu.
Wan ages. In appearance it is like
huge bat, on hasty examination. 1t is in
the head of the animal, however. that the
main distinction is found. That of the pres
ent one is perfect counterpart of the
black -and-tan terrier dog. Its teeth are
very long. and are called in constant re-
quisition to discountenance all attempts at
familiarity,

The doctrine of evolution, broadly consid-

One OF THE STRANGssT CARERRs OF Mod
ERN TINES has lately terminated in the death
of Lady Ellenborough at Damascus. Forty
wears ago she was one of the most noted
women in Europe. and her residence in the
East has long been a sort of scandalous rc-
nance. The daughter Of the lats Admiral
Sir Henry Digby, beautiful, witty and rich,
she married in 1924 the earl of Ellenborough,
who was aiterward governor-general of In
dia, and who at that time was one of the
most brilliant men of the day. She WAS
about II years of age at the time of her
marriage, and marlborough, who was a wild

wears, and her dissolute conduct was a cause
of scandal for some time previous to the
catastrophe of her elopement with Prince
Felix Schwarz berg, a celebrated roue, then
Austrian minister IN London. Tue event
caused an immense sensation IN the world of
aristocracy and fashion. Elleuborough pro-

An unmistakable disbelief in Senator Pom

The Cincinnati Gazette 50 Pomeroy tried to
get out of his serape by attempting to show
that the money handed to York was intend
ed for Page, TO enable the latter to establish
a national bank. This was very thin, and
it has been made more transparent by the
fact that Page has not sinee exhibited dis
position TO go into the banking business
under the national authority. Pomeroy was
