Blowing sepoysfron a caunon's Mo nth

Professor Seelye, in a recent lecture,
gives 4 asdiferent explanation of this famous
mode Of punishment from that which is of
ten entertained. He. says z., sfa ii
!, It is well. for us to understand, when we.
see the papers, as they occasionally do
taking up the subject Of English barbarity,
what is the meaning of this 'barbarity." I
have found persons who supposed the PM
isllment9 of firing Sepoys from a cannon's
mouth meant that Sepoys were actually put.
inside the cannon and fired out. In reality
the victim was utabout six feet in front
of the cannon, which was heavily loaded
With powder alone, and I was told that no
person unfamiliar with artillery would have
any idea of the minuteness of the fragments
into which the body was scattered. This
was a great punishment, not on account of
the death, or the manner of death, but be-
cause the body was scattered and denied
the rites of burial. This is a terrible thing
for Hindoo, and the English report and
belief that rebellion was stopped there
just by the sturdy statement of an English
officer who said that if there were any signs
of mutiny he would subject all mutineers to
this punishment, and it cannot be doubted
that this punishment was the most salutary
one, SO far. as affected the success Of Eng
land. s.. s,s3 Il ssg.sf. 5.t, 81 fj.s..~ i'.

BUFFALO BONES.
One of the Resources of Starving Kan.
sas

Almost every day may be seen passing
through our streets huge wagons loaded
with bones, the most conspicuous of which
appear to be the skulls of cattle, with the
bony portion of the horns attached. The
skulls are most conspicuous because they
pack together better, and are used for top
| ping ont the load with and for forming an
outside barrier, bnt the inferior portion of
the load consists of ribs, leg bones, verte-
brte and all other osseous portions of the
animal frame. It has been taken for grant
ed that they came from the rendering hous-
es of the city, but in fact they are the re-
mains OF buffaloes, picked up on the plains
of Kansas. Quite commerce is carried on
IN them. Bones, as is well known, are
manufactured into bone black (animal car
bon), which, when ground, is used extern
sively in refining sugar and for other pur-
poses in the arts.
The principal sources of supply are the
immense deposits on the great plains,
where lay, bleaching in the air, the bones
of millions Of buffaloes, which have been
slain by Indians and by hunters, or have
died from natural causes. The flesh of
these huge animals formed the sustenance
OF myIiads Of coyotes, buzzards and other
rayenous animals and now the bones are,
by the Transforming hands of art and COM
merce, made to sustain human life. Since
the general destitution which prevails in
some of the outlying counties Of Kansas,
IN consequence Of the grasshopper plague,
thousands of the suffering inhabitants are
making business of picking up these bones
for sale.
Mr.. S. ". Richmond, soliciting agent,
now in the city on behalf of the suffering
poor of Sedgwick county, states that twen-
ty car loads of these bones have been sent
to St. Louis recently from that county
alone. Wichita, city Of 4, 900 inhabitants,
has many Of It's poor citizens engaged in the
business. Contractors pay five dollars per
wagon load, and it takes an industrious
picker to gather load in five days. The
average bone-pickcr therefore, earns dol
lar day and finds himself; certainly not a
very remunerative employment. He has to
go out thirty or forty miles to gather his
harvest, as the supply within that area is
almost exhausted. The buffalo itself is |
rapidly disappearing, and in the course of |
time the enterprising bone-picker will |
cause all vestiges to disappear likewisess
The bones sell for 800 Der ton III Pitts |
burg, and i'll Harrisburg, Pa. It costs $40 |
per car load of 10000 pounds to transport
them to St. Louis, and that amount brings |
here $85. The demand here is small, and |
the supply at present sufficient, and at the
prices paid in the other cities named they |
cennot be sent there except at loss of
nearly SO per carload. Mr. Richardson is
to secure a reduction III the
price of transportation, and unless he sue
3eeds the poor Kansas bone picker will have
very poor picking indeed.

And that dear old land of my youthfulloye may never

And the very joys that fill my breast must change
to woe,
For that dear Old land that Old land where the
beautiful rivers flow
But Ill sing of the lonely cid church yards where our
fathers bones are laid
Where c,olsters stand, those ruins grand that
tygant fues nave made;
And I'll strike the harp with mournful touch, till
the glistening tears will show.
For that dear old land that sweet old land where the

And ah how blcst and calm his rest tho his grave be

In that dear old aud that sweet Old land, where the

A Word of Comfort.

"Send me a word to comfort me for the
death of my baby writes broken-hearted
mother to me.
Ny dear friend, I might tell you that
there are thousands of childless mothers all
over the land, who. like you, are looking for
comfort here and there, and find none, but
that would not help yom. might tell you,
too, that lfyou knsw all the sad stories that
have been told me by tongue and pen, for
many years, you would be glad that your
baby has gone where there is ''no more
pain;" but that would not cause you to
shed one tear the less, or keep you from
telling that yo@r sorrow was harder than
theirs. could tell you that God was good
even in this affliction; but your vision is so
dimmed that time only can enable you to
see it. It is because / know that nature
must have her way, or you could not live
and bear it, that I can only say to you asoso,
that l am so sorry for lyou. i know just
how you go about listening for the little
appealing cry that you may never more
hear; touching listlessly the little clothes
that You fashioned with your heart SO full
of love and hope. ], too, have done all this.
i have lain with nay cheek close to the grass
upon my baby's grave, lest she should be
lonely without me, though know she was
not there. And yet have tried to thank
Him who took her SO early, that the storms
of life which afterward overlook me, did
not burst over her little head. So, as / say,
/ shall not reason with you now, for that
were worse than useless. / only reach out
my woinan's hand and clasp yours in SYM
pathy, although we never may meet in this
world. ar I'D feyartaE8 s,fris.,fsgs
ss But one thing I know, that in the other
world your baby and mine Will know us,
their mothers, else God we're not God. BY
the strong love that came with them, this
must be; we could not be SO. cruelty mock
ed if this were to be the end.
Now, do not sit down and brood over
your grief, is you, can helpit. Do not close
your blinds and shut out the sunshine. Let
it warm you, though your baby is cold.
You would rather have felt its little warm
clasp even for that brief time, than not to
have known the bliss motherhood, would
you not? Well, then warm your poor heart
with that bit of comfort Non, there is
ladder reaching to heaven, only seen by
you, only used by you. Heaven is not now
to You the misty land it used to be. You
see it clearly. By-and-bye you win hear its
music, and ono little voice your mothers
ear viii detect; and none who see the peace
which illumines your face will know W1ere-
fore, save /" He who doeth all things we'll"
And SO, with my love, leave you.-Fanny

colored Nuns in Baltimore.
Flom the Catholic Standard.

FIom the Catholic Standard.
Among the other instrumentalities in
tended to benefit the colored people are the
institutions Of the Oblate Sisters of Provi-
dence in Baltimore. They have under their
charge in Baltimore an efficient and flour
islling academy for colored girls, situated at
the corner Of Chase and Forest streets. The
Order was established in 1929 by the Rev.
Father ,joubert, S. j. Having obtained the
year before from his superiors permission
to teach Catholic doctrine to, and hold Sun
day schools for, the colored people in the
basement Of his church, he found that most
of the children forgot one Sunday what they
learned the Sunday before. So he thought
1t proper to establish school where at least
they could learn to read, and for that work
he engaged two colored women who were
capable of doing it. But fearing that his
schools might be broken up, either by the
death of one of those teachers, or otherwise,
he thought it necessary to form them into
a religious community.
Having obtained a third to join them, and
the permission of the diocese they were
formed into II community and made their
vows July /, 1929. They were solemnly ap-
proved by lis Holiness, Gregory XVI, in
33,and aggregated by the Oulates Of Rome.
They were first established ON Richard
street, and in course of time removed to
their present location, Chase street, corner
Of Forest place, where they own more than
half u sqnare Of ground and q very large
and well-arrauged building. About eight
years they also opened an orphan asylum,
which has already done a..great deal of good
and now contains thirty three orphans.
4 pupil who received her education at
their academy is now in Rome studying
sculpture. AS evidence of hel proficiency
and artistic talent, We may say that she
both modelled and executed statues of the
Blessed Virgin and Holy Child, which she
presented 10 the institution in Baltimore as
mark Of her gratitude. They were SO
highly approved by the Marquis of Butte
that he paid $500 for two copies Of them,
which she also executed.
