FIFTY thousand pilgrams from all
parts of Poland assembled at Gietrzwald
on September s, and the Virgin appeared,
as in former years, at the A. NJ. service,
but instead Of four seeing her, as last
year, there were only two, widow and
and girl. The details they separately
gave perfectly agreed. q .-.
JOHN STUART MILL, standing at his
desk in the India House in 1912, has been
picturesquely described by Professor
Balm, who saw him there. Mills tall,
slender figure, his youthful face and bald
head, fair hair and ruddy complexion, and
the twitchlng of his eyebrows when he
spoke, first arrested the attention; then
the vivacity OF his manner, his thin voice,
approaching to sharpness, but with moth,
ing shrill or painful about it, his comedy
features and sweet expression completed
the picture. He always, at that time,
wore the same dress-a black dress suit
with silk necktie. Many years after that
he changed his dress coat for sur
tout; but black cloth was his choice to
the end.
A COON has the best of dog when the
fight is in deep water, as citizen of
Portland, Oregon, has learned to his scr-
row. A valuable dog belonging to him
went out last week into field and found
the track Of coon, which he followed to
the animals hiding-place. There he be.
gan to dig and bark, making the dirt
fly into the air, until the coon cunningly
escaped, and ran into little pond near
by, the dog following him. A hard fight
then began. The coon sliced the dog by
the nose and pnlled him under the water
Again and again the dog rose to the sur
face, and again and again he was pulled
below it, until at last he had had too
much of the business, and sank for the
last time from view. The coon went
quietly ashore, and disappeared in his
hole, unframed.
III. RoQUEs DE FILHOT, ex-Mayor of
Putneaux, was the most arlstocratic of
the recently returned Communists he
belongs to one of the oldest families in
France. His crime was the Christian
tendency to the wounded Communists
whom he picked up in the street where
they were dying from gun-shot wounds.
He was as poor in New Caledonia as any
Of the other exiles, though he had left
behind him an estate and hourishing
business, which his wife carried on sue
cesstully in his absence. He might have
donned CT othes by the best tailor in
France when he arrived at Port Veudres.
But having so far drunk of the cup of
misery, he was determined to drain it to
the last drop, and so wore on the journey
the felon's canvas suit, and travelled in a
third-class carriage with those of his com
