Washington and throughout the coun-
try IN regard to pine and other land
entries. Corporations and private
svndicatcs have been charged with
hisingmcn TO make presumption entries

former. Its effect will be TO prevent
final proving up on all presumption,
homestead and timber culture entries
in fact ON all entries on public land
except where land has been offered for
sale, in which latter case one NAY

only in this manner. The object IS to

refuse to allow final proving up in
cases where fraudulentintent is evident.
1t will work no hardship to the actual
settler. as it will only defer his time
for final proving up.

The reply Of Russia to England's
proposals concerning the Afghan from
tier line dispute is very concilatory.
1t was game of bluff on the part of
Russia when England's military power
was Weekend by Egyptian complica-
tons. The ambition OF Russia is an
outlet to the south through the Arabian
Sea. She is gradually nearing the
goal, SO closely that England's Indian
possessions are in danger. II would
seem that if the Muscovitc power
expected to accomplish its purpose by
a resort to arms now is the time to
strike the blow.

Not long since an Austin lawyer was
appointed by the District Judge to exam.
inc candidate for admission to the bar
The young man was rathen deficient in
Blackstone and GreenleaE 1t looked
very much as though he lacked the REQ
uisite preparation.
"Do you know what fraud is in the
judicial sense of the word?' inquired the
examining attorney.
Il DON'T hardly think l do" was
the stammering reply.
"Well, fraud exists when a man takes
advantage of his superior knowledge to
injure an ignorant person"
so that's it is it? Then if you take
advantage of your superior knowledge of
law to ask me questions | can't answer,
owing to my ignorance, and, in conse-
quence thereby, am refused a license,
will be injured, and YOU will be guilty
of fraud. Won't you, Judge?''
The lawyer was very thoughtful for a
few moments, and then added, reflective
ly:
"My young friend, perceive you have
great natural qualifications for the bar,
and | shall recommend that a large,
handsomely engrossed and richly en-
graved license be granted you in spite Of
YOUR ignorance.

A Row Among the Insects.

A Hornet was washing his wings in

called out:
"How now, Useless You neither La
Dor nor Produce anything for the Benefit

"And your Industry, Mrs. Ant, is sim
ply an Annoyance to Mankind" put in
the Grasshopper.

The Potato-Bug, Mosquito, Wood-Tick
and Moth chimed in, and the Row had
become general when the Owl came along
and called the Convention to order and
said:

had the wide-open roll and eagerness of
panther. His expression seemed to say:
II could lap blood and deem it dainty
dish" he sat bolt upright, with a cap
upon his head, and glared full upon us l
have never seen just such face, and am
at loss how to describe it. 1t appears to
be a nature but bit above the brute,
and unconscious of its degradation. Ii
was a scene worthy of Dickens pen or
great painters brush If it was not hot
house of hades, am no judge.
When we had fully survived the scene
the inspector asked US, as a matter of
form, if We recognized any one," and
upon our responding in the negative We
filed out as We came in, the police parad-
ing with presented batons. A few jeers
aud guys" were fired at us as we de-
parted. The inspector always asked us
in these dens if 'we recognized any one"
as he was supposed to be in search of a
culprit. Had the thieves thought other
wise, there would have been a row at
once, as they are not fond OF visitors
chaperoned by bluecoats.
We were told that the proprietor of the
wretched den we had visited was wealthy,
pulled the reins over pair, and lived in
sumptuous style. He never sees the
place, but collects through and agent.
His father, it seems, gave his personal
supervision TO a similar rancho until he
got seven years for receiving stolen goods,
and his rookery was razed TO the ground,
by order of the city council. Our route
took us TO tenement structure down an
alley where 600 of these wretches, male
and female, are sheltered and fed as so
many swine.
The policeman on duty said the guests
were nearly all out at that hour, and that
many of them did not get in until after
midnight. We boarded the underground
railway and had look through east Lon
don, notorious in criminal annals. Hun
dreds OF abandoned people herd together
in that district, where they are fed and
housed by wholesale at small figure. A
man or woman superintendent has
charge, and sees that their meals, such as
they are, are served up satisfactorily.
The inspector told us that he had made
many of his most noted arrests in this
district.
In nearly all these places we could
hear the word wanted" softly passed as
soon as we crossed the threshold. That
meant warrant was out as they thought,
and it showed they were accustomed to
the appearance of such documents. Al
most invariably those we saw braced
themselves with a rigid would-be ex-
preston of innocence, which was pain
fully artificial from the suddenness with
which it had been masqued.

An Old Seal Follows Her Captive
Offspring Eighty Miles.
Santa Barbara (Cal.) Press.l

An interesting incident, illustrating
the maternal affection of an animal for
its young, was brought to notice during
the visit of an excursion party to Ana
capa Island off the coast of California. A
young seal pup only few months old
was brought away from the island by
little Ernest Whitehead, who desired to
take it home for pet.
Shortly before sailing large seal was
noticed swimming around the slOop an
chored of the cave where the capture
was made, uttering loud barks and at
times bowling piteously. No particular
attention was paid to the animal at the
time or to the little captive, which at
times barked in response to the old dams
plants The boat sailed away, making
for the Ventura shore. When of San
Buenaventura a calm in the wind de-
creased the speed of the boat, when a
large seal was noticed near by.
On reaching the wharf at Santa Barba-
IA a seal was again discovered swimming
about the boat. To better secure the
pup until daylight he rope was taken
from its fin and it was tied up in a jute
sack and left loose on the deck. Soon
after coming to anchor the seal respond
ed to its mothers invitations by casting
itself overheard all tied up as it was
within a sack. Ii is asserted by the men
on deck that the seal mother seized the
sack and with her sharp teeth tore open
the prison of her offspring. This, how
ever, is q mere conjecture. II it did the
little pup was saved; otherwise it would
drown tied up in the sack. The incident
was the more interesting from the fact
that the old zeal had to follow the sloop
ut least eighty miles over the ocean in q
hopeful eadeavor to rescue its young.

had offended their father, it was FOUND,
was passed over in the will with a tri-
ding legacy. One of the daughters inter
rupted the reading of the will.
Father, am sure, is sorry for that,
by this time. A-should have child's
portion. We must make that right"
The other children assented, eagerly.
A widowed daughter with large fami-

other children. One of the sons spoke
now. "C-ought to have more than
we men who are in business and are able
to earn our living. / will add so much"
stating the sum-'tO her portion"
The two remaining brothers each agreed
to give the same amount.
When the will had been read, one of
the elder children said, There are some

The Bible is now criticised aud assaile6'
as never before. Yet there never was an
Era in which it was so generally read and
studied as it now is. Never was it more
influential than now, and those who.
study it he most carefully daily find in
its pages that which they have not mas
tered. An anecdote of the late Rev DR.
R. j. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, illus
trates this fact:
DR.. Breckenridge once said to friend.
&c. suppose that there is no book written
On any subject, OF in any language, that
could not master in one year, if should
set myself about it.
But have made the Bible a specia Z
study for thirty -four years, and / never
open il that | do not discover something
new. 1t reminds me of the great armament
Penetrate as far as you may, with the
most powerful glass that the ingenuity
of man has produced, aud still there i.
something beyond"
Another anecdote, in which DR.. Breck
erridge and the brilliant Tom Marshall
are associated, brings out the beauty of
the undefled English Of King James
version:
Tom did not believe in the inspiration
of the Scriptures, and was one day dis
cussing the literary merits of the Para
bles with DR.. Breckenridge. At last
Marshall, becoming excited, asserted that
any scholar could write as good parallels.
as those of the New Testament.
tom, said the doctor, IF you wills
write production equal in its ideas and
construction to the Parable Of the Prodi
gal son, will agree that you are right
and am wrong, and I will give you
three months in which to work. If it
can be done, you are as well qualified to,
do it as any body / Enow."
Marshall accepted the proposition, and
said he would do the work in twenty
four hours. In a week or two he return
ed, and said,-
doctor, that thing can't be done. Z
give it up."
