LANpsEER,s LIONS.

Landseer had an extreme fondness for
studying and making pictures of lions;
and from the time when, as boy, he dis
sected one, he tried to obtain the body of
every lion that died in London. Dickens
was in the habit of relating that on one
occasion, when he and others were dining
with the artist, servant entered and
asked, "Did you order a lion, sir?" as if
it was the most natural thing in the
world. The guests feared that living
lion WAS about to enter, but it turned out
to be the body of the dead ''Nero" of the
geological Gardens, which had been sent
as gift to Sir Edwin.
His skill in drawing was marvellous,
and was once shown in a rare way at a
large evening party. Facility in drawing
had been the theme of conversation, when
a lady declsred that no one had yet drawn
two objects at the same moment. Land
seer would not allow that this could not
be done, and Immediately took two PEN

Zoa went to the door.

She entered shyly.
"Are you fond of music?" Zoa asked.

"And can you sing?"
"a little-some of the pretty songs you

Little Maggie commenced with trem-

and warbled like bird.
"Thank you," said Zoa. Would you
like to have me teach you to sing and

'Ohl OIL would you? But 1 have no

OUR great and worthy captain, John
B. Cough, has not been spared to see
the glory of the final victory. 1t has
been but few months since his voice
was hushed in the stiffness of death
since he ceased to proclaim the TRUTH
''That right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win,
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To fater would be SIM"
This man whom we all delight to call
our own, was not native of America,
but was born in 1917, in England, in
the county of Kent. His cradle was
rocked by poverty, and his youth was
one continuous struggle for bread. He,
his mother and little sister would often
CLEAN in the harvest fields and at night
were content with the few sheaves they
had gathered, as the reward of their
labors. The mother was also compelled
to do needle work, and once when she
had failed to sell the work of her fingers,
it was with feeling of pride that the
little boy, John Cough, as the English
people delight to call him, was able to
step forward and deposit in her lap five
shillings which he had earned by read
ing aloud to rich neighbor in his
library. This little incident in the life
of the boy was afterward remembered
with much pleasure by the man "whom
both sides of the Atlantic were glad to
honor"
When Cough arrived at the age of
twelve, he fell into the hands of family
coming to America, and after fifty-four
days of sailing, he entered New York
harbor. He soon found work on farm,
but after two years of this kind of toll
he returned to the metropolis, and was
engaged in book-binding establish
ment. Here he also procured work for
his sister, who came to this country
with her mother. All was going we'll
until dull season in the winter when
they both lost their positions. Then
came the old story of the poor during
times of business depression. "They
found refuge in garrett, and were for
days without food and fuel" The con-
stitution of the mother was not such as
to be able to withstand the ravages of
disease which was then wasting her al
ready emaciated form; and ere the win
ter was passed and gone, she had reached
the end of the walk of life, and was
gently laid to rest. The children toiled
on, and finally the boy through evil as
sociations, fell into the habits of in
temperance. His downward course was
rapid, and he soon drank himself into
delirium tremens. AS he lay on his
couch, seemingly falling through in
finite space, there seemed to come out
of the hollow darkness, demons bent on
his destruction.
But why have we given this dark and
cloudy part of his life2 Because these
were the days of his schooling these
were the experiences which were pre-
pairing him for his great work. David
could not have given expression to his
poems of praise and thanksgiving, had
he not felt the relnorse Of conscience
over wrong doing, had he not been de-
ivered out of the lowest shell" "Paul
never could have been Paul if he had
not once been Saul of Tarsus." So
John B. Cough would not have had
that intense sympathy for the down.

The latest thing about diphtheria
is that kerosine causes the disease
A Meridian, Connecticut, man has
observed that diphtheria takes hold
Ia houses where kerosine is used
for lightning. and that it never, al
hardly ever, takes place in houses
where candles or gas do the lighting
Moreover the Meridian man says
that 4 patient with diphtheria eet-
better right away when kerosine is
removed from the sick room and
candles are substituted.
Several leading medicos have ex-
perimented and found that this
theory Is a correct one and in most
of the hospitals and public build
ings of the East gas is being sub
stituted for kerosine with good eff
feet.

The Lottery Question.

The Sacramento Bee has The
following.
The question of lottery for The
benefit of the State of California
| first advanced by the Bee, together
with another scheme for a lottery
for the purpose of helping the city
Of Sacramento out of Its fnancia
difficulties. has eccasioncd much
comment, not only in this State but
in our sister State Of Nevada as well
Of course. in California there is q
constitutional inhibition agains;
these lotteries. But we are in
favor Of the passage by the Leeis-
.aturc of an amendment to the
Constitution, to be submitted to
the people. which shall repeal this
inhibition. Fully 100000 goes
out of this State every month iato
the Golfers Of the Louisiana Lottery
Why not have this money kept in
the State forthe benefit of the State.
We wonder how many of those too
truly good people who hold up their
hands in holy horror whenever a
Lottery for the benefit of the State
of California is mentioned, are
gambling every month IN this
Louisiana Lottery.
Speaking of lotteries, the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise says:
Of all forms of gambling this is
the most degrading and perniclous.
We will agree with the Enter
prise that it is degrading and that
it Is pernicious, We do not believe,
however, that it is one-tenth so
vicious in its nature nor so demon
alizing in its consequences as gamb-
ling in stocks, an exponent, advocate
and organ of which the Enterprise
has been for years. Safeguarding
is an interstate calamity. Yet it
is re cosnized by the law as legitimate
and numerous divines themselves
dabble therein. Why permit men
to commit the greater offense and
debar them the pleasure Of running
themselves financially at the lesser?
The law says gambling in a lottery
is a crime and gambling in stocks
is not, in which respect the law is
an ass.
