citizens Of Colorado, and they receive the

One is curiosity; that is gift. a ca
pacity of pleasure in knowing. which if
you destroy you make yourselves cold
and dali. Another is sympathy; the
power of sharing in the feelings of living
creatures, which if you destroy you make
yourselves hard and cruel. Another of
your limbs of minG is admiration: the
power of enjoying beauty or ingenuity,
which ii you destroy you make your
selves base and irrcverent. Another is
wit, or the power of playing with The
lights on the many sides of truth, which
if you destroy you make yourselves
gloomy, and less useful and cheering tG
others than you might he. So that in
choosing your way of work it should be
your aim, as far as possible, to bring out
all these faculties, rs far as they exist in
you, not one merely, nor another. but all
of them. And the way to bring them out
is simply to concern yourselves atten-
lively with the subject of each faculty. To
cultivate sympathy you must be among
living creatures, and thinking about
them; and to cultivate admiration you
must be among beautiful things, and
looking at them.-J. Ruskin.

In Nordhausen there is cafe IN which
one room is specially reserved for the
eabmen belonging to the rank outside
The other evening the large hall Of the
cafe was hired for a fete, and after
supper. when dancing began, those
fathers and mothers who had brought
their babies with them found that the
latter interfered with their enjoyment.
The perambulators containing the sleep
ing infants were accordingly pushed into
the adjoining cabmen's room to be out

infantile invasion, demonstrated, but, as
no notice was taken of their objections,
they hit upon plan Of revenge. Wait
ing till the pleasure seekers were COM

they secretly changed the babies When

The population of Serapit turned out
to see us. The women were a strange
contrast to the men in appearance.
While the latter were as lean as whip
ping posts and uglier than most monkeys,
the former-at least those under 90 or
so-were plump, solidly built, full bos-
omed creatures, and there were at least
half dozen in the crowd before us who
might fairly be termed good looking.
But the older members of the com
munity, the women especially, almost
pass my powers of description to give an
idea of their weird ugliness. X. tersely

1T Is COMING.

Yes, coming it is coming soon, coming
with force, coming with virulence, coM-
ing ms it came upon all Europe. Don't
say, "well, let it come" But come to
think of it, your saying it. will not hasten
its coming, and nothing could be said or
done would prevents its coming. We re-
fer to the widespread scourge of influenza
that is prevailing in Russia, Italy, France,
England and Germany Many of the
more aged people of thus country have
reason TO remember its visitation back in
the winter of 1912 g. 1t was popularity
called G. The Tyler Grip" While its
victims ran up into multiplied thousands,
fatal terminations were exceptionally rare
But all the same, ii caused intense suffer
ings, partaking as it did of all the aggra-
waited features of the worst kind of
Catarrh. From reports coming across the
watar our medical men think it is the
same kind of a malady now.
What produces it is an unsolved
problem. Among other theories ad-
vanced the one most generally believed is
that il Is produced b. iufinitesimally
small atmospheric insects. This
opinion, however, is at best, only a
conjecture, and while its o,igin
is a my stery, we can say with Waits in
one of his hymns, that it moves in a
mysterious way, its wonders to, performs"
but, in The meantime in a most astonish-
ingly accelerated manner. l.. ten hours
after reaching London, it is sold seventy
thousand well defined cases of it were re-
ported.
The extent of its prevalence in Europe
is something truly marvellous. In Berlin
the number of persons suffering from it
al latest advices is put at fifteen thou
sand, with no signs of abatement. While
there is no known preventive, physicians
say its attacks can he greatly modified
by proper and timely treatment.
There seems to be no doubt of its pres
ence in this country already. A number
of cases were reported in Boston on last
Mouday; and New York dispatch of
the 18th inst. says eight cases in that
city have been reported to the Board of
Health. The first vsctim was a y young
lady WHO it is thought contracted the
disease from family just returned from
Europe Her first symtom was vertigo,
followed by some chills. Then she,became
deaihly sick with pains IN her limbs
aad muscles. This was succeeded
by bronchial catarrh, soreness of throat
and a high fever causing the pulse to
run up TO l2O in a Minute. Seven other
members OF the family are down with the
maludy. Such is the dread OF it that the
Board of Health is in favor OF quarautn-
ing all cases from abroad
The treatment recommended is, tie

The Bid Was withdrawn.

In Jacksonville, Fla, in the winter of
fs4s, an auction sale of the personal
estate of deceased planter, comprising
Jome seventy or eighty slaves and other
"chattels," was held in the public market
place. was glad of the opportunity TO
see for myself how such things were
done On beginning the sale the auc-
tioneer announced that families would
not be separated, but would be sold in
"lots. After a number of "lots" had
been dCly brought TO the block and
knocked down to the highest bidder,
bright looking boy was brought forward
and placed upon the stand. The auctioneer
at the same time called an old colored
man among the crowd to come up and
stand beside the boy. He did so, and the
auctioneer then said:
"Gentlemcn. the old man is this boys
father; he lives in the West Indies, and
IS free man. He wants to buy the boy
and take him to his home and make him
free. He bids $400. which is all the
money he has"
The intent of this statement was evi-
IDENTIFY to discourage any advance on
that bid, and it touched a sympathetic
chord in his audience. The crowd
watched the proceedings for a minute
or two in silence, while the auctioneer
dwelt upon the bid of S4O0, and was
calling it for the third and last time,
when, from the outskirts of the crowd,
voice bid "Fifty," Every eye was at
once turned in the direction of the bid

ing fellow, 9 typical slave trader in

peated his previous statement concern

mark that S400 was all the money he
had. "And now," said he, Il am bid

voices came the cry: "Withdraw your
bid!" The auctioneer awaited the re-
suit. The bidder growled a surly refusal,
saying he wanted that boy, and had as
good right to bid as anybody" -Four

the lips of the auctioneer. The shouts
of ss'Withdraw your bidl' were repeated

In Italy, Turkey, Greece, Asia Minor,

that the traditional practice was intend

is meant that these images We're regarded

and the true explanation is that the
color of red was sacred. All pristine
creeds can, with probability be traced
ultimately to two origins. They are, in
different DISCUSSES, the worship of the
sun and the worship of humanity Red
became therefore an exceptionally odious
color when the ascetic temper gained
possession of religion.
The author of The Wisdom of Solo
mon berays a profound antipathy to
the color in the following: "Or make it
like some wild beast, laying it over with
vermilion, and with paint coloring it
red, and covering every spot therein.
The coloring was very offensive to him,
and he describes in another place the
voluptuary as crying; Let us crown
ourselves with rosebuds before they are

INTEMIERATE 1EMPERANCE.


Not by way Of hamily on moral
question, but simply to point moral, it
may be said that the action of the local
w. G. T. [. down at Nomistown, Pa,
the other day, in passing ii resolution of
censure upon Mrs. Harrison, our Presi-
dents wife, was not only hasty but ex-
ceedingly foolish. Without knowing the
facts in The case and evidently without
taking any pains 10 ascertain them, the
good ladies composing said organization
got themselves huTiedly together in order
to be first in the field, we suppose, and
resolved that they were not only sorry for
what Mrs. Harrison had done on public
occasion, but protested against it.
II is another case of much ado about
nothing. These very temperate ladies'
temperate as far as llcoholic liquors are
conccrned-intcmperately dld that for
of reason for doing. Under the
erroneous impression that Mrs. Harrison
had entertained the distinguished for
cigners composing the Pan-American
Congress, at "a ladies, tea party these ladies
were highly incensed over the assumed
fact that she served them with lemonade
with a stick init Hence they resoluted
as before stated. What will they do TO

intcmperately did do is the question of

STILL A MYSTERY.

The verdict in the DR.. Cronin case has
not cleared up the mystery of the doctors
murder. The most that can be said of
the verdict is that it was affected on a
compromise basis; and like all compro-
misses is not satisfactory to anybody. If
the jury believed that the three, 0'SuIli-
van, Coughlin and Burke, killed him,
which the sentence of life Imprisonment
| implies, then the sentence should have
been in the direction of the gallows.
Compromising on imprisonment for one
of the most fendsh murders of the age,
is nothing short of travesty upon justice,
cluson reached indicates doubts ia the
minds of the jury as to the guilt of the
prisoners, and while circumstantial evil
dence bore heavily upon them, the jury
may have thought that the future might
possibly develope something to exoRerate
them.
This theory is strengthened not only by
the acquital of Beggs, but, also, by the
comparatively slight sentence of three
years in the penitentiary in Kunze's case.
against whom the testimony was about as
strong as against the three who have a
lifetime sentence. The verdict has rot.
therefore, solved the mystery of the
brutal murder further than tracing it TO
the very doors of the oath-bound secret
society, to which all Of the five implicated
persons belonged,
If there were any truth in the old chest
nut that murder will out" we might
hope to see all the mystery hanging over
the case cleared away. But like many
other murders that have been enshrouded
in impenetrable darkness for ages, this
one may never have the light of day shed
upon il. The well-known murder Of the
beautiful cigar girl in New York, nearly
halls century ago, is as much OF a mys-
terry Today as it was on the morning her
lifecss body was found so of that rich
New York merchant who was murdered
over quarter Of a century ago in one of
the most prominent residences on Broad

murder will OUT comes to the frort

Rchind the Times.

We fear that DR.. Stevens, of Philadel-
phia, has been imposed upon. He tells
us that he has discovered the location of
the human soul; that it is situated in
the corpus callosum. We are con-
strained to think the doctor has been ex-
ploring in some old-fashioned cadaver,
for we are assured by many authorities
in the social world that it is no longer
deemed good form to wear souls in the
corpus callosum Indeed, the most
fashionable people, we are told, have
discarded the practice of wearing souls
