Half Bird, Half Fish.

Count Joachim Pfoll, the German Afri

IT mysterious creature seen on the coast
# the Ulanga district: "We often saw an
animal in the water which we first be-
iieved to be a serpent, from its move

and then it appeared on the surface for a
few second;. Once, when we shot at it,
we were suy yarised to see it rise out of the
water and AZ away. Afterward we sue

creatures. :. was about the size of large
tame ducx, with black plumage and
a metallic easter. On its wings we motto ed

in long gointed beak, at the edge Of

Thi.e swimming, only the long neck be-

PURPOSE OF PAIN.
How it Develops Mans Energy as Well as
His Moral Nature.

How it Develops Mans Energy as Well as
His Moral Nature.
1t is not conceivably possible-we Of
fer it as a suggestion to be considered,
and not as a theory to be accepted
that the object with which pain is sent
into the world is not the development
of mans moral nature so much as the
development of his energy. Man can
do one thing which God, from his very
perfectness, can not do, and that is,
make an effort; and whatever the
grand concealed purpose. a part of it
must be that man should strive. We
may not see what he can do by striv-
ing, or how he can add by striving to
the store of force in the universe; but
if we were not intended to strive, to
develop will, and display energy, and
make exertions, the world would sure
ly have been made a very different one
from what it is. 1t is always whipping
him up. him and the animals, too.
There are only two forms of pain
which are absolutely universal among
sentient creatures, which men feel as
strongly as women, and animals more
keenly than both, and which human
beings, whether refined or degraded,
absolutely refuse to endure; and those
two are hunger and thirst, the two
grand impelling forces of the world.
Without these two pains, there would
be no world such as we know it. The
wild animals would saunter away life
doing nothing; the useful beast. re-
leased alike from hunger and the
whip, would be worthless to man; and
man himself. though he might reflect
as we'll as saunter, would scarcely be
brought TO work.

Story or . Criminal Who Has Not Had q
/ Visitor in Many Years.
Says Kingston On. W dispatch: An
effort is being made to procure a pardon
for William Willis, who has been impris-
oned in the Clinton State Prison for twen-
ty-one years for murder, and who will
unless the Governor interferes, have to
spend the remainder of his days there.
Since his entrance to the prison he had
not been visited by a single relative or
friend up to a few weeks ago, and never
sent or received a message of any kind.
The visitor who went to see him was a
nephew from Illinois, who is doing all he
can to procure his relatives release. AL
though many who could have recalled the
| circumstances of the crime for which Will.
lis was sentenced to be hanged and after
ward reprieved and sent to prison are long
since dead, many old residents of this vi
| cinity express themselves as believing
that Willis has been sufficiently punished
| for the murder, which had many extenu-
| ating circumstances.
Willis was a veteran of the late war.
! He was a young blacksmith in Ell llenville
before he went to help settle the great
| question, and was engaged to be married
| to Jane Conyes, of Napanock, N. Y. near
| here. During the struggle the young peo-
| pie corresponded with each other, and
| letters produced at the trial showed that
| the young woman still made Willis believe
| that she was true to him and waiting for
| his return. He came home to find that she
| had been two years married, had little
| child, and had used the money he had
sent her to enrich another mans home.
This blow to the man who had tried to
Ii e.
| sufficient to arouse the most intense in.
| dgnation and rage in Willis heart.
| While still excited after hearing the news
] of her per1dy Willis went to the home of
| the woman, told her who he was and,
| snatching a carving-knife from the
| table, stabbed her to the heart. He
| then cut her throat and stabbed
| the body fifty or sixty times. Will
| lis went to the village where the hus-
| band worked, told him of what he had
done, and surrendered himself up to the
| authorities. He was lodged in Kingston
| jail, and at the next sitting of the grand
| jury was indicted for murder in the first
| degree, tried by the court, and sentenced
| to be hanged. A reprieve, however, was
| granted pending argument for new
| Trial, which was granted. The sentence
| Oh the court in the second trial was the
same as the first, that he should be
| hanged. Again he was reprieved, and
| through the efforts of the late Judge Theo-
| dore Westbrook, his counsel, who brought
| all the extenuating circumstances in the
| case before Governor Fenton, aft a
weary Imprisonment of over year in
| gloomy underground dungeon in Ulster
| County Jail, Willis sentence was commut
ed to Imprisonment at hard labor for life.
| Twice was the gallows erected at Kings
ton to hang Willis, and twice was he
reprieved on tho morning set for his exc
| cution.

Life and Weight of Americans.

Edward Atkinson has been examining
the records in ready -muae clothing estab-
lishments to discover whether the white
man in the United States is deteriorating
in size and weight. The general result is,
that the average height of New England
ers is found to be feet IL inches and
of Southerners 5 feet 10 inches. The
average weight of Americans is between
155 and 100 pounds. Mr.. Atkinson also
discovered that the average height and
weight of men in this country have in
creased perceptibly since the war He is
convinced that Americans are increasing
rather than decreasing in size.

No proper estimate Of the future economi-

that does not take into consideration an ele-
ment which may be termed ssthe woman in
business"
She is knocking at all the doors Of COM
mercial enterprise, and there are very few
into which she has not already forced an en-
trance The results seem to indicate that,
beyond doubt, she has come to stay
She can not perhaps often reach the
levers which move the great driving wheels
of business, but she proves most impor-
tant factor in the minor but scarcely less
important machinery of detail.
Phil A-mours private secretary is a
young lady who was first employed as a
stenographer and typewriter She proved
SO capable and efficient that her sphere of
usefulness has been gradually enlarged,
until she now has probably closer acquaint-
ance with Armour's extended business
than any other person connected with it.
1t used to be claimed that woman had
neither physical nor mental stamina to con-
duct a large business.
Mrs Frank Leslie has made success of
as complicated business enterprise as al
in this case IS that when she took the helm,
the Frank Leslie Publishing Company had
but short time previously failed.
Madam Demorest conducts very exten-
sive business, which includes the publish
ing of magazine. Mrs. Annie Jenness
Miller conducts famous dress reform
movement, and is also the editress of a
very successful magazine called "Dress." !"

that of any other woman in the United
States.

the only medicine I ever take or recon-
mend The safe cure has the effect to give
new energy and vitality to all my powers"

Moody st., desires to recommend st. Jacobs

Of Granville, Mass, boy Of IL years, came
to his house in the summer Of 1881 walking
upon crutches, his left leg having been bent
at the knee for over two months and could
not be bent back. He could not walk upon
it. Mr. Dennis had some st. Jacobs Oil in
the house and gave it to him to rub on his
knee. In six days he had no use for his
crutches and went home well without them,
and he has been well since st. Jacobs Oil cured
him" In July, 1887, inquiry was made OF thu.
