tamanamus man was 10 erect a large

tamanamus man was to erect large
and strong building. with but one open
ing or door in the same. He then
gathered all the disease, deformity, and
crime. placed it in the house, and Sc
cured the doors. Then he appointed a
certain family to take charge Of the
house, and said family and its descend
ants were ever to remain in charge Of
it. He gave strict orders that the
doors were never to be opened under
any circumstances whatever. What
the house contained was only revealed
to the head of the family, and thus it
became to the remainder of the tribe a
great ystery. In time this particular
family became reduced in numbers,
leaving but one old man with his wife
and daughter. One day the old man,
forgetting his duty and dignity. went
from the house to assist his wife to per-
form some labor, thus leaving the
daughter alone. Her curiosity had
long been aroused as to the contents
of the closed room, and this was an op-
portunity not to be neglected to satisfy
that curiosity. She undid the fasten-
ings to the door and pushed it back
but short distance. But that was
sufficient. The inmates got the advan-
tage and all rushed out, and so the
world was filled with disease, deform-
ity, crime, and woe. Thus is made
manifest what woman's curiosity has
brought upon mankind.
So offended became the Great Father
at the crime of this woman that he
created the Seatco. or mountain In
dams. who sleeps by day, and whose
homes are in the holes in the rocks in
the distant mountains. They have
wings, and in the night are constantly
flying about so as to seize or secure any
woman who may be found out of her
home at night, or away from her house
with strange men. And when the
Seatco discovers couple of this kind
he eats the man and carries the woman
| to the mountains and makes her either
a wife or slave.-St. Louis Republi-

A Specimen of Obituary Poetry.

SSAAAASAA y l. y
1t is amazing that after all that has
been written of the absurdity of GER
tain class of obituary poetry, there
should still appear specimens of the
worst sort in genuine death notices.
The following is no worse than many
other specimens, perhaps, but every
fresh instance of this sort of thing con-
veys a new sense of the absoluteness
with which many people lack the sense
of humor. The subject of this touch
ing poem was boy Of 8 years:
The one we loved
Has passed away.
We tried all We could to save him.
But God, it seems,
Wanted him the worst
And now he is safe in heaven.
This is far funnier than any imitation
could be.-B0ston Courier.

iol e1tcA udiA udy traVel nearer the
bear, until he had placed erect in a
straight line six arrows. Then, with
his seventh arrow in his hand, the
tamanamus man approached the bear,
who cast upon him the evil eve; but
his tamanamus was so strong that it
had no effect. He then shot the re-
naming arrow into the bear, and turn
ing, swiftly ran for the arrow last
placed in the ground. The beast fol-
lowed. When the tamanamus man
came to the arrow he seized it and shot
it into the animal. So he did with each
OF the other arrows until he arrived at
the last arrow, which he, with his great
est strength, shot through the heart of
the BEAST and thus killed it. The
tamanamus man, by his cunning, had
thus led the beast to the center of the
great Nisqually plains to die. Its death
caused great rejoicing, and then there
was gathering of the whole tribe.
After the skin was taken off the beasts
carcass it was divided equally between
the different branches of the tribe.
Aud so large was the beast that the
skin of one ear, which had been given
to the Tunwater branch of the tribe,
was taken to Mound prairie to dry. and
it covered that whole plain.

The girl in this base is innocent in exterior,
but her smooth skin is stuffed full of vile.
She motioned me to a chair In her parlor
when / called, and 10 a seat in it. The piece
Of furniture was handsome, but In no way
curious. simultaneously she settled into an
other chair which, though its upholstered
bottom seemed to be on a level with the one
l was on, let her down about a foot nearer to
the floor.
Seeing TINT 1 regarded the difference as
phenomenal, she said: "Ah, l don't mind
telling you all about it l call these my
trick chairs, but l don't care to work them
on you. When put to the use for which 1
planned them l assign the visitor TO the one

you ave. They are based on the principle
that a cool, composed person always has
a tremendous advantage over n frustrated,
awkward one, especially If the former be n
woman and the latter a man. Now, please
stand up a minute. Now let US change seats.
Down you drop ten OF twelve inches below
the point that you would expect to if you
had not already observed the deep mashiness
OF the upholstery.
"Were you an impressionable, bashful,
rather sentimental visitor, surprised and
startled by the impression that threatened
TO bump you on the carpet itself, you would
be utterly deprived Of equanimity, don't you

OF all the vast heritage of Spain the
one thing which she certainly has left to
her is picturesqueness. AS we read the
report Of King Alfonso's funeral we are
back in the depths of the middle ages.
At the Escurial, we are told, @the pro-
cession wound up the hill TO the mon
astery. When the funeral car reached
the principal door it was closed. The
lord chamberlain knocked for admit
lance. A voice inside asked, Who
wishes to enter ? The answer given
thrown open. No one de
scended to the vault except the prior,
the minister of grace and justice, and
the lord chamberlain. The coffin was
placed on a table in a magnificent black
marble vault, in which the kings of
Spain lie in huge marble tombs all
around.
The lord chamberlain unlocked the
coffin, which was covered with cloth of
gold, raised the glass covering from the
kings face, then, after requesting per-
feet silence, knelt down and shouted
three times in the dead monarch's ear:
Senior, senior, senor.' He her rose,
saying, according 10 the ritual, His
majesty does not answer. Then it is
true the king is dead He locked the
coffin, handed the keys to the prior, and
taking up his wand of office, broke it in
his hanA and flung the pieces at the
foot Of the table" What perfection of
mise en- sccnel In what other country
the modern world is such n function

WHITE SLAVERY IN CANADA.
A D~isgracefui State of Things-woinei
and Children Helpless Victims.

A DIsgraccful State of Things-woinen
and Children Helpless Victims.
A correspondent has been calling at
tention recently to a most ~disgraceful
state OF things connected with the Lab
rador fishery. 1t may be remembered
that during the late disastrous gale on
the Labrador coast n singularly large
number of women and children were re-
ported a lost. At the time it was not
possible to account for this, but the cor
r~espondence referred to makes the whole
matter plain.
II has for many years been the Gus
tom 10 transport at the opening of the
fishing season several thousand women
and children to Labrador, where they
remain four months, engaged in curing
the fish caught by the men. They are
carried TO the scene of their labors
packed in the holds Of small vessels, and
the horrors of this passage, as described
by those familiar with the facts, rival
those Of the dreadful middle passage
in the old slave trade. Not only women
and children. but animals of several
kinds, dogs, sheep, goats, etc, are
slowed in the close and filthy hold, and
as the weather is generally rough the
matches are usually kept down all the
time.
The passage takes from ten days to
two weeks. On reaching Labrador the
passengers are exhausted and half
poisoned by four air filth. They are,
however, forced to go on shore Mt once
and clean out the turf huts, which have
been filled with ice and snow all the
winter. In these wretched novels,
which are always damp and dirty, the
poor creatures must live throughout the
season. The curing of the fish is n
laborious and incessant task, and Mt the
end of the season, having meanwhile
been illfed, worse lodged, and worn out
by hard work, the white slaves are once
more packed into the noisome holds of
the %schooners and consigned to another
hideous voyage. As storms are frequent
toward the close of the season, and as it
is almost impossible for the inmates of
the hold to get out in the event of an
emergency, the wrecks, which are
numerous in the fall of the year, too
often include the drowning Of whole
families like rats in a trap. This is how
it came TO pass that 30 many women
and children were lost in the late sevare
gale on the coast of Labrador.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact is
that this system of white slavery has
been in existence for half acentury, and
that it is only now beginning to attract
attention and to call forth the strong
condemnation it deserves.-St. Johns
Cor. Montreal Gazette.

An artesian well was recently bored at
Columbus, Miss, and the water therefrom is
very cold and possesses rare chemical proper
ties.
A town darkey, with cup in hand, was
standing at the well, a day or two ago, when
a country darkey jumped off his cotton
wagon and asked him to allow him 10 use
his cup 10 get a drink OF the water.
When the country darkey had swallowed
the water he smacked his lips and said;

away, leaving the country darkey shaking
his hcal and meditating. Finally the latter
remarked. "H1t do tase powerful OBJ der raw

ONE of the political agitations in the
near future in this country will be against
the system of grasping and oppressive
farm landlordism that is rapidly getting
control of the soil. OF the 5000, 900
farmers in this country a majority are
already mere tenants, who pay the
greater proportion of the proceeds of their
labor and their investment to the land
owner. In Illinois alone there are ut
present some 10000 farm tenants who
from year to year barely manage to sub
sist, the profits of their labor being swal-
lowed up by taxes and cxorbitant rent. 1t
is to be remarked also. that in Illinois, as
in many other states, the existing land
lord and tenant laws are altogether for
the protection of the land owner, the ten.
ant being entirely at his mercy. Ii is a
fact which will in time become startlingly
apparent, that the system Of landlordism
that is extending and roofing itself in all
sections OF the United Subsequently,
in the Vests more ~grasping, burden
some and mercilcss than that OF Ireland.
This state Of things cannot 10 on much
longer without a popular protest hat will
make itself felt in politics and legislation.

THERE Is a rumor that the movement
of Philip Callan. an Irish cx-member,
who was defeated by Parnell's influence,
and who will claim his seat on account OF
fraud and intimidation at the election,
threatens serious results to the National
League. If Callan, by the help of the
Tories and anti Gladstone Wings, should
carry his point, it would be the political
ruin of Parnell. Such interference in a
parliamentary election as amounts to in
umidation, or any mild form Of corrup-
ton, like paying the superfiuous expenses
Of candidates, or Tor political work at the
polls, is punishable under the British laws
by disfranchisement, and by seven years
ineligibility TO sit in parliament, If they
get Parnell into that hole ii will be the
last Of him. 1t is not probable, however,
that he has been 80 injudicious as to bring
himself within the criminal law as justly
administered, but justice is scarce. and
there is no mercy in political contests.
