From Japan comes a story that sets
one thinking. An old lady, so years Of
age. was attacked by disease which
was curalle only by severe Surgical
operation. which she professed herself
willing TO undergo. When the operation
was to take place the operators assist
ant prepared to administer chloroPorm
The old lady asked what was the uss Of
this medicine. and on learning that it's
function was only to deaden pain, she
resolutely refused to have anything to
do with it To evsde pain was In her
estimation despicable and oowardly, un-
worthy of the old Japanese spirit which
enabled man 10 oomposeSa poem in the
agonies of the "happy Dispatch She
would undergo the operation, but with
out chloroform So she lay down on the
operating table and had four deep seated
Assesses removed and twenty stitches
put in, without making movement Or
uttering groan-
When all was over, and the doctor
asked her If she had suffered much
pain, she opened her eyes and answered
quietly that the cutting of live flesh was
never without suffering. That was her
only comment on what she had under
gone. and she wished there and then to
write letters to reassure her anxious
friends. From the point of view of mar.
row common sense, this old lady was
very foolish to insist on enduring pain
she could have avoided; but the idea on
which her refusal to take the anas.
thetic was based-that to evade pain
that comes for good reason is cowardly
has something noble about it.
Perhaps we who have ether every time
tooth is extracted err on the other side.
We are so used to evading pain that we
look on it not merely as misfortune,
but as an injustice; and the habit of thus
regarding physical suffering may affect
our views on mental distress as well, and
teach US that it is legitimate to get out of
every sort Of trouble
Mrs Lynn Linton has lately argued
that our indulgence in anasthetics had
an enervating effect, and not without at
least show of reason. The idea of
Sinking pain of any kind is apt to weak
en- the moral fiber Without setting I'M
the ascetic ideal or meeting trouble half
way, it is sometimes necessary to accept
the fact that pain is thing to be under
gone without any anodyne, and to teach
ourselves to bear it as quietly as may be-.

AT Decatur, ILL.,, Wood Brothers,
purveyors of candies and ice cream,
had no ice scream to sell to Rev. Ed
ward Wilson. He was a negro. He
now arrests the puryeyors by virtue
of the civil rights law and the case
will be holly contested. Of course
it will. And the jury will discharge
the confectioners. The black man
will get no ice cream. The people
of Decatur love the negro in the
south, not in the north. The civil
rights bill was prepared tor the
south, where the colored man can
get all the ice cream he may pay
tor. To apply reconstruction to the
north-is not that oppressive? The
same northerner who will endure
arrest before he will sell ice cream
to black man will tell you conf
dentially that the determination of
the southerners to prevent black
home rule is the vilest conspiracy of
modern imes.-Chicago Herald.

A COL0RED ROMULUS.

says, some twenty months ago a
woman, living on the banks of the
Brazos missed her three months old
baby from the pallet where she left
1t lying during an absence of few
minutes. Search was made for the
infant, but no trace of it could be
discovered, and the whole affair
was wrapped in profound mystery
until a few days ago. A party of
gentlemen were riding through a
somewhat unfrequented portion of
the thick woods that border the riv-
er, when they were started by seeing
a strange object run across the road.
Thinking at first sight that it was a
Wild animal, several Of the party
were about to fire on it, when the
one who had been nearest to it call
ed to them not to shoot, but to ride
itIdown instead. This was done
with difficulty, for the underbrush
was thick, but at last the creature
was overtaken in dense copse. 1t
was half running, half leaping, first
on all tours and then nearly up
right.
The gentlemen dismounted and
attempted to lay hands upon it, but
chattering frightfully and savagely
biting and scratching, it broke away
from them. They could see that 1t
had human face, though the brown
body was covered with long, tangled
hair, and the nails of the feet and
hands so long and curved as to be
claws. 1t ran with incredible swift
ness, getting over fallen trees and
dense masses of creepers at rate
that obliged its pursuers to exert
themselves to the utmost to keep it
in view. 1t finally ran into an i'm
mense oak tree that lay uprooted in
the ground, and the hollow root of
which formed a yawning cavern.
By the dint Of poking in the tree
with sticks the party succeeded in
driving out an old wolf, which i'm
mediately look to its heels. 1t was
not pursed, as it was not the object
sought. This, too, was finally dis
lodged and lassoed with a lariat
made ofhides. 1t bit and scratched
so fercely that it was thought ad-
visable not to approach it, as it was
halt dragged, half led home with the
lariat about it's neck, bowling and
yelping like wolf.
The fact of the negro woman's
child having disappeared was we'll
known to all, and it was decided
that this must be the child. The
wolf had evidently stolen it and for
some reason had adopted as her
own. The mother declared that
this conjecture was correct, claiming
that her child had had malforma-
ton of one ear, which popularity
was found in the monster. 1t is
kept tied up in her cabin, suffering
no one to lay hands on it, and is fed
on raw meat, as it refuses to touch
any other food. The woman has
hopes that she may yet reawaken
the human in it, but in the mean
time she is reaping harvest from
the crowds who come daily from a IL
parts Of the country to inspect the
strange creature. -Pittsburg Dis

THE DIcaking of the embankmeut
of an immense reservoir above Johns
town, Pennsylvania, last week. led to
the most appalling loss of life by acct
dent that has eyer happened to the Ens
glish speaking race since the world
began. The body of water, several
miles long, half mile wide and in
places from one to two hundred feet
deen, was located in the hills eighteen
miles above Johnstown about 200 feet
above the level of the town. The va
body of water coursed down the mar
row valley, which was its only outlet,
sweeping everything before it. In the
valley were a number of small towns,
all OF which were more or less exposed,
aud all suffered, Johustown being the
largest and most exposed. The water
reached Johnstown at 6 O'Clock in the
evening, and the people, though
warned few minutes before, had not
time TO escape the on-rushlng ffood.
Many were drowned, many were
crushed in the grinding debris, and
hundreds were burned on a railroad
bridge to which they fled from the
flood TO be consumed by the flames ct
the bridge, which was accidentally set
fire The loss of lite is now estimated
at 5000, and the damage to piaper,y
is placed at Fifty million dollars.
And how terrible is this picture
After the subsidence of the flood at
Jonstown,a party of Hungarians were
found robbing the dead bodies In
the pockets of these inhuman n onsters
were found the fingers of women and
children which had been cut oil in
haste to gel the rings they wore. With
their knives they cut off parts OF the
ears of dead women and little girls for
their earrings When discovered at
their horrible work they showed fl Jht,
aud so:nc were drowned and some
hanged. but many ESCAPED.
