Stirring Up Strife.

Java, I was standing beside small
lake fed by ono Of tic rills from the
mountains. Stretching its limbs over
this pond was O gigantic teak tree, and
in its thick, shining, evergreen leaves
lay q huge boa, in an easy coil, evil
IDENTIFY taking his morning nap.
Above him was a powerful ape Of the
baboon species "a lecring race Of
scamps, always bent OIL mischief.
The ape, from his position, saw a
crocodile rise to the surface Of the
water, just beneath the teak limb
where lay the serpent. Quick as
thought ho jumped plump upon the
water just in front Of the crocodile.
The ape saved himself by clinging to
the limb of the tree; buta battle royal
Immediately began in tho water.
The crocodile had fixed its jaws in
the snake, which made tho water boil
by its furious contortions. Winding
its folds round and round the body Of
his antagonist, the boa disabled its
hinder legs, and by his contractions
made the scales and bones Of his
enemy crack.
Over aud over the combatants roll
ed, neither being able to obtain de-
cided advantage.
All this time the cause of the mis-
chief was in high glec. He lcaped up
aud down the branches, came several
times close to the scene of the fight,
uttered a yell, and again friskcd away.
Perhaps ten minutes passed, and the
noise of the conflict began to fade into
silence. Tho folds of the serpent were
relaxing, and though they trcmbled
along the back, the head hung life.
less III the water. The crocodile, also.
was dead.
Tho monkey now perchcd on a low
limb just above the dead bodies of his
two foes, and amused himself by max
ing faces at them. This seemed to be
adding insult to injury. picked up
a stone from the edge Of the lake and
hurled it at the ape. 1t struck him on
the head and down he fell, upon the
crocodilc's body. He was up again in
a moment, and sprang into the teak
tree, where he disappeared among the
thick branches.-Youths' Companion.

A purse was raised on Thursday to
assist Mrs. Patriquin to move into town
and pay q months rent. This woman
was by sudden death Of her husband last
summer, left destitute with four little
children one of whom was born the day
previous to the fathers death. We
would suggest to some of our charitable
ladies' that this is a deserving case and
it would no doubt be Of little trouble to
them to help Mrs. Patriquin good deal.

Miss Anna Schultz, young pianist. gave concert
last night in steinway Hall. which wellattended
in spite of the unpleasant weather. She had the as
sstance of Mr.. 5. b. Mills, Mrs. Sarah Baron Ander-
son, Mr.. Richard Arnold, and Mr.. F. Q. Quicken.
Miss Schutte's numbers were SOnate," op. SO,
Beethoven; Am Loreley Fels," Raft: Der Gnomen-
tanzn Seellng; Barcarole," Waltz Tyrolienne,' and
"Farantelle,' No. 3, Mills. With Mr.. Mills. Miss
Schuttc also played ChOpn's "Andantc Spianato ance
Polonase." Her performance, on the whole gave evil
dence to careful listeners that Miss Schultz Is player
of promise, although of her selections were plainly
beyond her powers, particularly the senate She has
IA retentive memory, considerable power for young
woman and confidence In herself The technique
which she has acquired IS, however far in advance,
parenty, of her conception of the composers mean
Ing and she also lacks expression. But II with ad-
vanclng years and experience her Judgment and
conception rpen to her standard of technique, she
will be heard with more pleasure by the critically dis
posed than she last night. In the Chopin number
She PLAYED well and the " Barcar0lle' rendered
with encouraging expression and forgetfulness OF the
loud pedal.
Mr.. Arnold gave electrical performance of
Hubays violin fantasic from Carmen Mrs Ander-
sons singing also pleased the audience.

comes il TO be now the source OF unspeahao'o
dangers and intoleraBe evils Must we not be-
Iieve that il is now as for centuries 1t undouDt-
edIv has been, immeasuaby preferable to any
If the forms OF monopoly or restriction which
cat on the world so long and blocked human
progress?
Re the evils resulting from unrestrained COM
petition what. they may, there is as yet no evi-
dence whatever that any kind of combination
or trust. designed to substitute total or partial
monopoly for free competition, would be better
for the public or for industries. Experience is
n blind guide to many here, for most men know
only the evils which they have to bear, with
competition unrestricted, but never knew or
have forgotten the greater evils from which
the human race escaped when exclusive priv
ileges went down and freedom was achieved
Here and there not often for long, combination
gets control in some direction, and then, in al
most every instance, it produces results which
the public considers intolerabe. But generally
the law of free competition resumes the mastery
quickly, and combination goes down in defeat
before the public has had time to apply legal
remedy.
The workings of free competition have
changed not little it may be granted with the
adoption of modern methods Forces having
been called into existence or use within the last
quarter of a century which many times surpass
the entire working force Of the world as it used
to be- the first struggle has been to attain the
utmost chcapncss, and so competition has heen
pushed about as far as it safely can be in,the
direction of cheapening products or services
perhaps, in some branches, much beyond the
limit of safety. But the correcting tendency al
ready begins to appear. limit reached as to
cheapness, competition instantly begins as to
quality. The store which sells the cheapest is
no longer the one which the shrewder buyers
prefer. 1t is not the cheapest cloth or carpet,
the cheapest iron or meat, the cheapest service,
whether in kitchen, on the railroad, or in the
professions, that now commands the surest re-
turn.
Presently, perhaps, there will come the Law
