Father Damien.


On the Isle of Moakai, one of the Sandwich
Islands, Father Damien devoted himself to his
suffering brethren and his God. As far back as
A. d. 1900 we learn of that scourge in The Sand
wich Islands known as leprosy. All infected were
banished to Molakai. The government, poor it.
self, could not help the exiles even to the extent
OF furnishing physician. In 1878 young priest
asked permission to work among the forsaken peo-
pie. When he landed on the rocky island 800
outcasts were there. He set to work to help them
in their bodily necessities. He succeeded in build
ing houses, making himself carpenter, mason, etc.
He was their physician, their undertaken, LAYING
them in their collins and carrying them to their
graves. lie built churches, hospitals and asylums.
A few years ago he had 1000 lepers in his care.
Finally he fell victim to the dread disease. after
seventeen years of toll.
Our readers cannot fail to recall the burst of
spontaneous admiration which this act of voluntary
self-sacrltice excited all over the civilized world.
Catholic priest, with every prospect of advance
ment in his church, with youth, culture and refine
ment to hold him back from the sacrifice, entered
this hldeous valley never to leave it again in life
or death. Since his residence he acted not only
as spiritual adviser, but had added to his other d,I
ties those ofa physician and nurse. Two churches
In different parts of the island were erected where
Father Damien preached to those who were able TO
attend. The reverend father escaped the disease
until within two or three years, and the first news
that he had been attacked was received with sor-
row wherever the sad story of his noble work was
known. Since then we have from time to time re-
celved accounts of his condition, which at first was
known to be hopeless. Some idea of the awful
exile to which he devoted himself may be obtained
from the following paragraph copied from recent
work on Hawaii "Kalaupapa, the leper VILLAGE.
may safely be pronounced one of the most horrible
spots on all the earth; home of hdeous disease
and slow-coming death, with which science in
despair has ceased to grapple; community of
doomed beings, socially dead, whose only bust
ness is to perish; wlfeless husbands husbandless
wives, children without parents and parents with
out children; men and women who have mo more
portion in anything that is done under the sun >
condemned to watch the repulsve steps bv which
each OF their doomed fellows goes down to loatb-
some death, knowing that by the same wav thew,
too, must pass ''
IL should be added that another young priest
mas already taken Father Damien's place on the
Island among the lepers, and is no doubt working
faithfully and cheerfully in that terrible place at

troupe arrested for posting obscene and indecent
pictures and this case will be tried at the Novem-

tracted State wide attention, as they are looked
upon as test cases under the new statute of Hi

indecent literature and pictures.
THE current number of the North American Re-
view devotes u pages to the summing up of the
Johnstown disaster. OF the three articles one
is contributed by Clara Barton, the noble worker
at the head of the Red Cross Association. This
disaster has been called the greatest that ever
befell the English speaking people at blow.
TO gain an idea of the work of the Red
Cross Association, careful perusal of Clara Bar
toms article must be made. How open were the
hearts and homes of humanity can be estimated by
the call for orphan children for adoption. Miss
Barton says:
"It is safe to say that applications for several
thousand of these little waits have been received in
the mails of the Red Cross alone which was known
not to be in any connection with this feature of
this work. What must it have been for those who
were? But there are no orphans in Johnstown-
certainly not more than in ordinary times, for the
same foe that swept the parents in full strength,
did not spare the children so the representatives
of these aid societies, and persons making private
application, were obliged to be answered on pages
blotted by tears day after day. There are no
orphans here; the children are dead save few
that have been carried through the waters of death
by miracle, whose friends cannot give them up
1t has been literally survival of the ittest -
Wonderful is Clara Rarton's picture of opening
for waiting starving, unclothed applicants unla-
beled, uncatalogued, uninvoiced boxes, to find
anything but the thing looked and waited for
work which men give up with shake of the head
saying, "this is work of which women should have
change; we men are wasteful.'
The donations of millions Of money and of pro-
visions and clothing from every part of the globe
constitute kind of worlds monument to our
common humanity.

The latest accusation against women in politics
is that they are mugwumps Henry B. Blackwell,
during his visit to Washington Territory, discoy-
cred that the political managers were dissatisfied
with the independent manner in which women vote,
and their total disregard of party lines. The
women showed disposition to vote for the best
man. irrespective of party, and thus upset the pre-
arranged plans of the party leaders. One politi-
clan frankly said to DR.. Blackwell, "Women are
mugwumps, and hate a mugwump."

Warmth In Old Tunnels.

Hubert, the old man lost in tie
snow recently, took refuge IN sn
old cabin near a mining tunnel. but
had he gone into the tunnel he
would have found the temperature
considerably higher.
One who has never entered one
of these tunnels in the Winter
scarcely realizes The amount of heat
in them. Last Winter the writer
went into the lower tunnel OF tive
North Carson mine. The thermom-
eter was at least ten degrees below
freezing at the time, yet the tunnel
was as warm as it ever was on a
Summer day. After going two hun
dred feet in, coat was an incum-
brance, and the air soon became
uncomfortably warm. The temper
allure OF long mining Tunnel is
alike all the year round.
