What Ruskin Says.

If eny animal deserves. as reward for
for days, weeks, and years of abuse-lf
any animal deserves tranquil future-a
glorious pasturage traversed by never
failing crystal streams of water-surely
that animal must be the horse.
These views of animal pain and suffer
ing, and doctrine of animal soul, are
deeply mingled with that of future retri-
button to man for cruelty to the lower
creation. Ruskin has eloquently said,
"Can any man account for all that hap
pens TO cab-horsef Has he ever fairly
looked at the fate of one of those beasts
as he is dying? Has he measured the
work it has done, and the re ward it has
gotf Has he ever put his hands on the
bloody sores through which its bones are
piercing and so looked to Heaven with an
entire understanding of Heavens ways
about the horsef Yet the fate of the
horse is no dream; no revelation among
the myrtle trees by night. And yonder
happy person who owned the horse until
it's knees we're broken over the hurdles
who sold it to a cab owner as soon as Il
was blemished; yonder happy person
with an immortal soul. with peace and
wealth on earth, shall this happy person
have no stripes? If other things are, in
deed, reserved for him, Heavens kind
ness or Justice might be in question
| therefrom."

The Atrocities of a Slave March.
Prof. Henry Drummond, in June Scribne

Prof. Henry Drummond in June Scribner's.
No one who understands how human
life is estimated by savage peoples will
doubt the shocking and revolving &C.
counts of travellers regarding this phase
of the traffic; and no one who knows
what an Arabs heart is made of will make
any discount even for the exaggeration of
an orator, as he listens to the following
citation from q speech delivered the other
day in London by Cardinal Lavigerie.
"The men who appear the strongest,
and whose escape is to be feared, have
their hands tied, and sometimes their
feet, in such fashion that walking be-
comes torture to them; and on their
necks are placed yokes which attach sew
sral of them together. They march ali
day; at night, when they stop to rest, q
few handfuls of raw 'sorgho' are distrib-
uted among the captives. This is all
their food. Next morning they must
start again. But after the first day Or
or two the fatigue, the sufferings and the
privations have weakened great many.
The women and the aged are the first to
halt. Then, in order to strike terror into
this miserable mass of human beings,
their conductors, armed with a wooden
bar to eeonomize powder, approach those
who appear to be the most exhausted and
deal them terrible blow on the nape of
the neck. The unfortunate victims utter
a cry, and fall 20 the ground N the con-
WILSON'S of death. The terrified troop
Immediately resumes its march. Terror
has imbued even the weakest with Few
strength. Each time someone breaks
down the same horrible scene is repeated.

place, after the first days of such life, a

THE OLD CLOCK.

OH the old old clock of the household stock,
Was the brightest thing and the neatest;
It's hands though old, had a touch of gold,
And its chime ran still the sweetest:
Twas monitor too. though its words were few
Yet they live, through nations altered;
And its voice still strong, warned old anC
When the voice of friendship faltered;l
.'Ticki tick - it said-"quick, quick to bed
For ten I've given a warning;
Upl upl and go, or else you know
You'll never rise soon in the morningf"
friendly voice was that old, old clock
As il stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed the time with merry chime,
The winter hours beguiling;
But cross old voice was that tiresome clock,
As it called at daybreak boldly,
When the dawn looked gray DER the misty way,
And the early air blew coIdly;
Tick! ticki' it said-'quick out of bed,
For five I've given warning;
You'll never have health, you'll never have
wealth,
Unless you're up soon in the morningl''
Still hourly the sound goes round and round
With 8 tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for bright days fed,
And the old friends lost forever
Its heart beats on-though hearts are gone,
Its hands still move-though hands We love
Are ciasped on earth no longerl
Tick! tick!h it said-"to the church yard bed.
The grave hath given warning;
Upl up! and rise, and look at the skies,
And prepare for heavenly morningl"

The King of Dogs.

A dispatch from Boston announces the
death from heart disease of mastiff dog
owned by Mr.. E. II. Moore, of Melrose,
Mass.
The owners of the thousand and one
mongrels which masquerade under the
noble name of dog in this part of the
country, will be at a loss to understand
why the Associated Press should burden
the wires with SO insignificant matter
as the death of dog. But few if any of
the numerous items which are printed
from the various parts or the compass
today are of more Importance.
The dog in question says an exchange,
was the noted champion, Mlntirg, four
years old, purchased in England by Mr..
Moore for fabulous sum. He hiss re-
fused an offer of $4,000 cash for him,
aud valued him at $4,000. Another
mastiff, which also recently died at Mr..
Moore's place in Melrose, was famous
among lovers of the dog as Ilford eau
ton, and was valued at $4,000.
These superb animals, when we'll bred,
are some thirty-two or thirty-four
inches high at the fore shoulder and
weigh in the neighborhoodo OF $50 pounds.
Trained for centuries to guard the life
property of man, they seem to have ac-
quire6 sense OF property. They have
the faculty of Distinguishing between
mime and thine" occupying in the ami
NAL kingdom the place an honest man is
supposed to fill in the higher sphere, that
of "the noblest work of Goa" Conscious
of their vast strength, they are not
tyrants, "to use it like giant" thus dis
playing another noble quality SO much
esteemed yet SO seldom found in map
Gentle with weak, yet never cruel even in
combat, except under great provocatlon,
the mastiff is the king of his kind and
not a bad model for his masters. It is a
pity they are not better known and more
generally bred.

A Stupendous Work

It is claimed that the the recently con-
structed San Diego fume is the most
stupendous ever constructed in the world
being only little short of 26 miles long.
An idea of the gigantic character of the
work may be obtained from the fact that
the amount of lumber consumed was
more than 100000 feet, or allowing the
very considerable yield of 1000 feet to
each tree, or not less than 5000 trees were
required. In the course of fume there
are some 315 trestles, the longest of these
being ZOO feet in length, IS feet high
and containing one quarter of million
feet of lumber. Another trestle is of
the same height and 1900 feet long, the
main timbers used ia both of these being
1Ox10 and SIS, being put together on the
ground and raised TO their position by
horse power. The number of tunnels in
the course of the fume is eight, the long
est of which is 2, 100 feet, the tunnels be-
ing in size 6x6 feet, with convex shaped
roofing; each mile of the fume required
an average of one-fourth of a million
feet of lumber for its construction, and
the redwood used entirely in the box is
two inches in thickness throughout.

Vagaries of Etiquette.

In Sweden, if you address the poorest
person on the street, you must lift your
hat. The same courtesy Is insisted apor
if you pass a lady on the stair way. TIC
place your hand on the arm of lady, in
Italy, is ia grave end Objectionable
familiarity.
In Holland lady is expected to retire
precipitately if she should enter a store
or restaurant where men are congregated
She waits until they have transacted their
business and departed. Ladies seldom
rise in Spain to receive male visitor, and
they rarely accompany him to the door.
a gentleman does not .ffer to shake a
Spanish lady's hand. For him to give a
lady .(even his wife) his arm when out
walking is looked upon as decided vio-
lation of propriety. If q Spaniard says,
when you retire after a visit, 'sThis house
is entirely at your disposal whenever you
please to favor it," he wishes you to know
that he regards you as one of the fami
ly-uno de nosotros Zone of usl as they
express it. If the words are not spoken
you can conclude that you are not well
come to call again.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, q
visitor sends notice an hour or two before
calling, and gives days notice if the visit
Is of great importance. He is met by
servants before he reaches the house, and
other considerations are shown him &C.
cording to relative rank. The left, and
not the right, is considered the position
of honor.
No Turk will enter sitting room with
dirty shoes. The upper classes wear
tight fitting shoes with goloshes over
them The latter which receive all the
dirt and dust. are left outside the door.
The Turk never washes in dirty water.
Water is poured over his hands, SO that
when polluted it runs away. In Syria the
people never take off their caps or tur-
bans when entering the house or visiting
friend, but they always leave their
scapers outside and the floors inside are
covered with expensive rugs, kept very
clean in Moslem houses and used to kneel
upon while saying prayers. In China
grief is associated with white dress, in
Ethiopia with bro En, in Turkey with vio-
let, in Egypt with yellow.
Etiquette requires, in Chinese CONVEX
sation, that each should compliment the
other and depreciate himself and all his
belongings. It is affirmed that the fol-
lowing is not an exaggeration: what
is your honorable name?" "My in
significant appellation is Chang"
"Where is Your magnificent palace ?"
"My contemplate hut is at Luchan."
"How many are your illustrious chill
dren?" "My vile, worthless brats are
five" GLOW is the health of your dis
tingulshed spouse?" "My mean, good
for-nothing old woman is WE'LL"

cred negro attendant to take nail

ment four per cent. bonds. Hilton has

The Pumpkin Marquis
Youths Cnnnaninn

Literature has amusing stories of peas
ants and workingmen who. suddenly
raised to wealth and position, imagined
themselves mad or dreaming. Doubtless
their feelings under such circumstances
might resemble those of Bottom, the
weaver, when he found himself beloved
by Titanla, the fairy queen. There are
persons, however, who can bear off unac-
customed honoys with credit to them
selves and their new positions.
On the accession of the present
Manchu dynasty in China, in 1914, the
heir of the last Ming Emperor was made
Marquis. During the reign of the last
Emperor but one, the holder of the mar
quisate died without sons, and reference
was at once made to the family records
to ascertain who was the next heir.
1t was found that he was an obscure
person, who had been entirely lost sight
of by his family, and for a long time it
was impossible to trace his whereabouts.
Finally, however, he was discovered SELL
ing pumpkins outside the gates of Pekin,
and was with difficulty convinced that
he had become heir to large fortune and
title. He was a rustic in manners, and
quite destitute of education, though an
honest man, who had always done his
best to support himself and his family
without mourning debt.
The officials by whom he was discover
ed at once hurried him away, washed,
shaved and combed him, exchanged his
rags for costly raiment. For several days
they devoted themselves to polishing his
manners, and teaching him the phrases
needful for presentation at court, and
he was then brought before the Emperor
as the new Ming Marquis. His claims
were allowed, and he at once took posses
sion of his palace and estates.
He is described as kind hearted man,
who has done his best to educate him
self and thus fulfill the duties of his high
position, and as he has sons, SO that the
succession is secured, his family is now
in as strong position as ever.
He is popularity known as the "Pump
kin Marquis" and one would be interest
ed in knowing whether he writhes in
hearing the sobriquet, or enjoys it as
one unbroken link between the present
and his former humble life.

days curious substance was observed on

to be the essence of the roses, which the
heat of the sun had caused TO gather on

A Serpentine Problem
Notes and Queries.

An astronomer from Harvard observa-
tory some time ago pronounced this
problem to number Of fellow savants:
Suppose that three snakes, each two feet
in length, should catch each other by the
tip of the tail, thu. making a circle six
feet in circumference. Suppose that each
snake should begin to swallow the one in
front of him. In what way would the re-
sultaut figure, after each snake had swal-
lowed the one in front of him, differ
from the original circle? There were
many diverse opinions upon the subje
some of them entering the consideration
of the fourth dimension of space, be-
cause any one of them would have swal-
lowed the two in front of him and yet
have been swallowed by the two back of
him and. therefore, would be both inside
and outside of his two fellows.
