Scenes In Siam.

In Siam they cut the tails of the cats 80
as to leave each tail an inch long. Then
they dye the animals a bright yellow,
which makes them look very gay. The
ten-inch lizards OF Siam crawl on the CELL
ings and eat flies and mosquitoes. Siamese
princes of royal blood wear less clothes
than New York street arab. The doctors
in Siam prescribe such queer things as
serpents, bones, scrapings of the horns of
wild goats, stays and rhinoceroses, and the
scales of fishes and insects. How much
better to tell their patients to take Browns
Iron Bitters and be well.

SENTENCE PRONOUNCED.


Ward, you have been convicted by an
intelligent and conscientious jury of the
crime OF which you have been charged"
began the judge, directing his gaze upon
the prisoner, who stood before him. "You
have certainly had fair and impartial
trial. The Jurors were most carefully Sc
lected, and came to the trial of your case
with apparently unprejudiced minds. The
Court guarded all your rights and privi-
leges from infringement to tie heat oi his
ability. YoT wsra sonyiGted because you
h6d no ae(ense. You offered no defense
to the facts. 1t is only Q matter for con-
lecture why so i:itelligent a jury should
have taken so long time to decide your
case. Ii your case had been that of a
person wholly unknown, the Jury needed
not to have left their seats; on the con-
trary, your case has had the benefit of a
more than careful consideration. You
have been most ably defended by your
counsel, and an address as brilliant and
scholarly as any ever heard in this court
room was made in your defense. You
We're not convicted on popular clamor.
The Jury probably delayed in
its judgment because they were
afraid that in some way they might
be accused OF being influenced by popular
clamor, which tended to make that con-
viction doubtful. | have nothing to say
to you in the way of homily, because |
thiuk it would be wholly useless. You
have shown yourself to be Who'll
ly Indifferent throughout this trial
| of the charges which have been
brought against you. You seem to
| experience no remorse whatever over
the ruin and sorrow which you have
brought to hundreds of people in this
| country. You have done more to unsettle
public confidence in moneyed institutions
than any other man of this generation, ,apd
| yet, throughout this entire trial, you have
shown yourself to be wholly unrepentant

Memorandum by Moore, January Is, 1851

and on the following day tl6th), Secretary MeCul

the President and Gen. Grant was read to- day to
Gen. Sherman, and he tSherman) corroborated
the statement made by Gen. Grant in his letter of
tho 2Sth re specting the conversation which took
place on Saturday, the llth of May between tho
GeserSl, Lieutenant General and some members
of Grants staff, in which the latter expressed
his views as to his duty under the tenure of Office
law, and said he would at once see the President
upon the subject. Gen. Sherman told the Presi-
dent that Gen. Grant seemed to have made up
his mind to await Mr.. Stanton's written demand
for the office, and then to have referred the sub
ject to the President, thus, the President held,
oonelpsiyely showing that the General did con-
template holding on to the onice for the PIesi-

Sherman further said that Gen. Grant was very
much angered at the course of Mr.. Stanton, and
seemed 10 have been thwarted in his plans by the
action of the Secretary in taking such early pos
session of the War Office. Gen. Sherman also
said that Gen. Grant had told him that Tuesday
morning when Mr.. Stanton took possession of the
War Department the secretary had sent for him
in the usual manner, by an orderly; that Gen.
he would never again enter the department
while Mr. Stanton was at its head unless sent for,
and thai Gen. Grant was deepiy humbled By ths
condition which affairs had now assumed, and
had become very obstinate in reference to the
matter.

THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.

A somewhat remarkable article has
appeared in the RusSiche ReUue, by Prince
DermidOff de San Donate, i'll which he
shows the very oppressive legislation
under which the Jews exist in that
country. Except in exceptional cases,
they are not allowed to live where they
like, but are forced to reside in certain
provinces, and then only in the towns.
By the law of 1868 this position was
somewhat ameliorated, and the Jewish
workman was permitted to quit his
birthplace and settle in another but
practically he cannot move without a
passport, which has to be renewed
every year, and this may be refused on
very slight pretense. Even if he was
allowed to Co. he would have to obtain
a permit of sOiOurn from the municipal
authorities of the town of his choice,
which would probably be refused, and
if this difficulty were surmounted,
another permit would have to be OBJ
tanned for carrying on his trade. His
wife and children may accompany him,
but no other relatives and if he dies in
his new abode, his family are obliged to
return to their original residence.
Should he himself grow old or incapa.
BILE of getting his livelihood, he has to
do the same, even though it was thirty
years since he made the change. In al
most all parts of Russia, Jews are for
hidden to buy or to cultivate land, and
there are also restrictions on their en-
tering certain trades and professions.

AN ANCIENT AMERICAN CITY.

Tucson, Ari., is an ancient city. Ante
dating jamestown and Plymouth, and
visited first in 1910 by Coronado, it saw
its first European settlers in 1860, and
its first missionaries in 1881. But long
before the year 1910 there was an Indian
village established on the site of the
present city, 80 that the Tucsonians can,
II they please, claim an age for their
town as great as Sante Fe claims for
theirs. For all practical purposes, how
ever, 1910 Is date sufficiently far away,
and if Tucson only continues to improve
with age or becomes us good as she is
old, much may be expected of the place.
Built 10y the Spaniards, who brought so
much religion to the people whom they
conquered. San Xavier (San Havier) is
to-day one of the largest, rs it is one of
the best preserved, of all the churches
built during the years of the Spanish
occupancy of the Southwest Riding

of the Santa Cruz River, one has

this valley Of Santa Cruz, which is to-day
attracting so much attention as an agri-
cultural section, that Coronado marched
on his way from Old Mexico in 1910,
and before the advent of this intrepid
explorer and ever since, the valley has
been inhabited 10y the Papago Indians,

- Question.

When You are old and 1 am old,
And PASSIONS fires are burned to embsrf,
And life is as a tale that's told,
And only worth what lovO remembers,
II we should meet-Iwo quiet folk
And change opinions of the weather,
Could word or look again provoke
The heart and eyes to speak together.
The heart benumbed with so much ache,
The eyes bedimmed with so much cryiaR2
Do buds long blighted ever break,
And green the vine already dying2
What hand Of skill shall draw the line
'Twixt sordid love and holier passionl
What art shall FIX the unfailing sign,
And bring it's reading into fashioni
What is the meaning of it all,
The Christening woe, the vanished sweetnsEs
If dark oblivion's night shall fall
Forever on its incompleteness?
When you are dead and I am dead.
Our faces lost. our names unspoken,
Shall then the mystery be read?
Can heaven bind what earth has brokenP
In clearer light and fairer day,
With finer sense the impulse proving,
Unfettered Of this hindering clay,
Oh what must be the joy of loving!

DESTROY THAT SIGN.-One may feel that he's
getting old, but he naturally dislikes that any
thing about his appearance should advise others
of the fact. Yet nothing does this so efiectually
as thin and falling hair. No woman wants 10

plOy man, who shows this fatal sign. Parker's
Hair Balsam is worth 70 you in this regard more
than its weight in diamonds. Use il, and have

A California paper claims that a

of honey from thirty-three bee hives

busy bee improve each shining hour"
as the poet remarks, and especially is
this the case in California, which is

atmosphere puts energy into every
person and everything, and even the
little busy bee is buster there than
elsewhere, perhaps. The California

frowned upon by leading California

A LABOR PRO8LEM HINT.

There are many problems involved In
the relations which exist between employers
and their men, but that which is supreme
and vitality important among them Is that
which pertains to the question as to what
is right and just. There are many organi-
cations, Of both capital and labor, and Of
philanthropists too, which have for their
avowed purpose the settlement of the gen.
eral problem and the several or many
questions into which it can be rami6ed,
and much brain and heart work is now
given to this matter But it must be borne
in mind, in connection with the considera.
ton Of this problem, that we cannot classify
either labor or capital and apply general
rules, for we must accept as an important
factor in all cases the quality Of human
nature. And human nature is a variable
quality. 1t is sometimes human and quite
often inhuman. Humane men are some
times not themselves. Some employers are
Just at times and sometimes unjust, some
times courteous and reasonable and At
other times overbearing and unreasonable.
And the men who work Tor them are some
times faithful and honest and sometimes
unfsithful. The ideal state OF things can
only be realized when both the employer
and his men land women) are Just, rea-
sonable, courteous and do that which is
business'lke and right toward each other.
The employer should pay for the service
agreed upon and the man employed should
render precisely that service, in kind and
degree. And each party should recognize
in the other the qualities Of manhood and
citizenship, for, while it is true that
in America We have no servile class,
II is also true that every man, however
exalted his position, is servant, and let
it here be understood that the President
Of the United Ststeshss q larger number
Of masters than any other man in the
country The great manufacturer and
the wealthy capitslist are the servants of
the public and Of the State. The money
ssch has, has come st some time or other,
out Of the people and it should be used for
the benefit Of the people. We are told
