seized it and the sheik, crushing both.
On another occasion a man had entered
the water to battle, when hippopo-
tamus, which had been in concealment
near by, rushed at him, biting him in
two as shark might have done. The
action of the animal is simply wild
rage, which causes them to attack any
thing without regard to the size. A
well-known official reported that all his
boats had been damaged by these ami
mails during three years experience on
the Nile.
One instance was somewhat singu-
lar. The diahbeeah was towing large
boat containing a load of live sheep.
For some reason a hippopotamus be-
came enraged and rose beneath it,
smashing a large hole in the bottom
and drowning every one of the ami
mails. Another time the officer was
travelling in a large dug-out twenty
seven feet long and at least three or
four feet through. In passing through
some high grass a hippOpotamus
charged the boat, actually lifting the
heavy craft bodily out of the water.
Several years ago a British officer
was proceeding up the Nile in a diah-
beeah, towed by a steamer, when hip
popotamus charged the latter in broad
daylight, evidently protesting against
It's passage over its domain. It seized
the paddle wheels in it's huge jaws,
crushing them, then sank to reappear
at the stern of the vessel, where
it seized the keel and, though
it was iron-plated, perforated the bot
tom in two places. The leaks were
so large that the steamer threatened to
sink, and was only saved after vast
amount of trouble and labor.
Probably the most ferocious hippo
potamus known was one killed by Sir
Samuel Baker at Bahr Giraffe. He
was engaged in cutting away the leaves
which had stopped the channel and SO
disturbed the animal, which during the
night charged the diahbeeah, destroying
the small boat that was towing astern
1t then attacked seventeen-foot boat,
biting the side completely out of it,
after which it charged the large vessel,
and in the opinion of Sir Samuel it
would have sunk it. despite the iron
sheathing, had he not fortunately killed

HORACE GREELEY ON DEBT.
A Life Of Slavery Preferable to Pecuniary
Obligations.

A Life Of Slavery Preferable to Pecuniary
Obligations.
Among the many good things which
Horace Greeley wrote is the following
vivid article on the misery of being in
debt:
ITO be hungry, ragged and penni-
less, is not pleasant; but this is nothing
to the horror of bankruptcy. All the
wealth of the Rothschilds would be
poor recompense for five years strug-
gle, with the consciousness that you
had taken the money or property of
trusting friends-promising to return
or pay for it when required, and had
betrayed their confidence through in
solvency.
81 dwell on this point, for would de-
ter others from entering that place of
torment. Half the young men in the
country, with many old enough to know
better, would go into business'-that
is, into debt-to-morrow, if they could.
Most poor men are so ignorant as to en-
Wy the merchant or manufacturer whose
life is an incessant struggle with pc
cuniarY difficulties, who is driven to
constant shining" and who, from
month to month, barely evades that in
solvency which sooner or later over
takes most men in business; so that it
has been computed that but one in
twenty of them achieves a pecuniary
success.
"For my own part-and speak from
sad experienced would rather be a
convict in state prison, a slave in a rice
swamp, than to pass through life un-
der the harrow of debt. Let no young
man misjudge himself unfortunate, or
truly poor, so long as he has the full
use of his limbs and faculties and is
substantially free from debt.
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con-
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are
disagreeable; but debt is infinitely
worse than them all. And, if 1t had
pleased God to spare either or all of my
sons to be the support and solace of
my declining years, the lesson which
| should have most earnestly
sought to impress upon them is:
Never run into debit Avoid pecuniary
obligations as you would pestilence or

peck of corn, parch it and live on it,

WELL-CLAD SAINTS.
How the Spanish Incubation Enforced Pr,
urletY In Art.

How the Spanish InquIsltiOn Enforced Pro-
prlety In Art.
The indulgence in "libertine fancies"
by those who WELD the chisel, brush,
dry-point and other p:cture-producing
implements Is by no means q peculiar
ity of the present century, although it
may, and probably does, prevail to a
greater extent now, and In many smaller
ways than formerly.
When the Holy Inquisition existed in
Spain artists were under its surveil-
lance and dominion, and those who Of
Tended against modesty and propriety
were treated with the severity which
that secret and terrible society knew so
well how to inflict.
A decree was issued forbidding the
making, exposing for sale or possess
ing immodest pictures, prints or sculp-
lures" under pain of accommodation,
a fine of fifteen hundred ducats and
years exile; and inspectors or censors
were appointed to see that the decree
was obeyed.
In 1915 Francisco Pacheco, an artist
Of some renown, and q brother of a
member of the Inquisition, was COM
missioned to this office of censor,
He confessed that he found it very
difficult to reconcile his duty as in
spector with his knowledge as an artist
in the matter of study from life. The
advice he finally gave was to paint the
faees and hands from nature, having
women of good character for models;
and for the other parts to make copies
from drawings, designs and engravings.

Especial care was commanded in the
case of paintings of sacred subjects, and
even Improperly of costume brought
upon the offender rigid penance, as
happened TO an artist at Cordova who
represented the Virgin at the foot of the
cross dressed in a hOoped petticoat, a
pointed bodice and > saffron-colored
head-dress. ST. John had on panta-
looms and a doublet with points.
Another artist in his Marriage OF
the Virgin painted her without any
mantle, in q Venetian petticoat fitting
very close at the waist and covered
with knots of colored ribbon, and with
wide, round sleeves-a dress that Pach-
eco declared to be. in his opinion. very
nnbecoming the dignity Of this Our
Sovereign Lady"
"What, too" he says, ''can be more
foreign from the respect which we owe
to the purity of Our Lady the Virgin,
than to paint her sitting down with one
of her knees placed over the other, and
often with her sacred feet uncovered?
Let thanks. therefore, be given 70 the
Holy Inquisition which commands that
this liberty should be corrected"
This is the reason why, in Spanish
pictures, we rarely ever see the feet Of
the Virgin.

Badly Laid Out, However.
A young Englishman had been stop
ping at the Richelieu for three days. He
drawled about the corridor with his
hands stuffed into his pockets and
drawled an occasional answer to
question in a way familiar to readers of
the comic weekly. He looked the typic-
al stage English noodle at first glance,
but his neck and face were trife too
brown to warrant the same conclusion
after a second glance. The smart
drummer didn't look twice. however
The smart drummer never does except
when pretty girl is across the dinner
table from him, when he looks five or
ten times at least. He winked at his
friends, who were sitting in their big
leather chairs at the window and walked
over to where the young English
man stood. The young Englishman
had his hands stuffed in his pockets,
and he was apparently watching the
procession of smart turnouts on the
boulevard. His eyes, at least, were
turned in that direction, although there
was really no expression on his face to
indicate that he saw across the street
"Just over?" the drummer asked.
"Yaas," yawned the EnRlishman.
Beautiful street, amt it?"
"Chawm'n, sah."
''Going out weSt?'
''Yaas"
Rough country out there" said the
drummer, winking again. Hope you're
well armed. May have a scrap on your
hands before you get to the city limits.
The Indians are swarming all over the

sort of thing"

The Englishman drew a package of
cigarettes from his pocket and selected
one which he lit. Then he turned
rather abruptly on the drummer and
laid one large brown paw on the young
mans shoulder. Son." he said, you
give me bad pain. If you have any
more fairy stories to tell about this
neck of country pick out a tenderfoot.

stare and the drummer went away
