Wall Sire cts Love for the Old
Soldier.

1t is passing strange, the interest
/ Wall street has in the old soldier.
1t is fairly frantic lest the old sol
der should have his pension paid in
a'dollar worth only 10 or 80 cents.
Figuratively speaking, Wall street
cliffs up it's voice, and cries aloud
and spares not" When the old
soldier was a young soldier, he took
a dollar worth only 3S cents, and it
was Wall street that fixed that dol
lar. But now, Wall street, since
the old soldier has become old, wants
him to have a 100-cent dollar; the
same that Wall street got, when the
young soldier got 3S cents. 1t is
evident that either Wall street, like
the thief on the cross, has repented,
or else the value Of the old soldier
has been enhanced by age. No one
acquainted with Wall street will
ever believe that Wall street is
entirely dlsinterested. Wall street
is sorry for the old soldier. It
wants him to take his 6 IA cents
per day and buy 6 IA cents worth
of goods, and live like Vanderbildt
OF course, the old soldier will take
Wall streets advice. HIe always
did. He always will. The old
soldier is loyal to his government.
Wall street is the government, as
sisted by Lombard street. The
will not be misplaced.

1T is currently reported that j. d.
Rockefeller, James North and John
w. Mackey, have formed syndi-
cate to control the price of wheat.
This report is not improbable, and
when it is considered that the re-
puted wealth of the three men
amounts to four hundred million
dollars. the magnitude of a ''deaP'
will be on a scale that, beside it,
Old Hutch's will seem insignificant.
For some reason the price of wheat
has been kept down to figure far
below what demand would seem to
justify, So it may be possible that
the big millionaires are holding the
price in check until the bulk
of the crop is secured, when
wheat will go up to any price the
syndicate may Seb Inc scneme, II
scheme there is, is to obtain pos
session of the worlds food supply,
and levy tribute upon the. bread
consumers of half the world. We
shall see what we shall see, but if
the above conjecture proves true,
God pity the poor, both of Europe
and America. North, the English
millionaire, is knswn to be as heart
less and hardened TO the cries of
the poor as Rockefeller and Mackey,
and to wrest from the poor bread
eater the last penny is, to such men,
a source of pleasure

The vt. Louis Conference.

Rnc We lLOu1S &OM1SGCACCs
The ST. Louis conference has
come and gone. 1t was one of the
most remarkable meetings of the
ages of man. Composed entirely OF
the middle classes, it's members
were men and women who know, by
actual experience, what it is to earn
their living by the sweat Of their
brow. Though laborers, there is
abundant evidence of large mental
capacity. Most of the delegates
were unknown to- fame, and none
are millionaires or ward politicians.
Calmness, deliberation and wis
dom mark the proceedings. Every
delegate seemed to feel the great
responsibility resting upon the body,
and there was a most perfect spirit
Of unanimity in things essential. ."
The meeting marks new era ia
the history of toilers in the work
shop and on the farm. From hence
forth, the worker in mine, factory OF
farm are to be brothers only in
name, but in deed. The wealth
producer and the wealth-distribute
are to share the benefits of wealth.
The millionaire anarchist and the
anarchist of the slums are mot in
it.

reward, even though the rubber be

The Importance Of the meeting,
and the steps taken, cannot be over
estimated. The battle of the ages
is on, and if laborers are true to
themselves, their wives and children
to humanity-the result cannot
be doubtful.

Chinese Characters tics.

It seems to make no particular
difference to a Chinese how long he
remains in one position. He will
write all day, like an automaton. If
he is handicraftsman, he will stand
in one place from dewy morn till
dusky eve, working away at his weav-
ing, his gold-beating, or whatever it
may be, and do it every day, without
any variation in the monotony, and
apparently no special consciousness
that there is any monotOny to be
varied.
In the same way Chinese school
children are subjected to an amount
of confinement, unrelieved by any
Jecesses or change of work, which
would soon drive Western pupils to
the verge of insanity.
The very infants in arms, instead
of sQuirming and wriggling as our
children begin to do as soon as they
are born, lie as impassive as SO many
mud gods. At more advanced age,
when Western children vie with the
monkey in his widest antics, Chinese
children will often stand, sit or squat
in the same posture for a great length
of time.
In the item Of sleep the Chinese
establishes the same differences be-
tween himself and the Occidental as
in the directions already specified.
Generally speaking, he is able to
sleep anywhere. None of the trifling
disturbances which drive us to de-
spair annoy him. With a brick for a
pillow he can lie down on his bed of
stalks, or mud bricks, or rattan, and
sleep the sleep of the just, with no
reference to the rest of creation. He
does not want his room darkened,
nor does he require others to be still.
The infant crying in the night" may
continue to cry for all he cares, for it
does not disturb him.
The same freedom from the tyranny
of nerves is exhibited in the Chinese
endurance of physical pain. Those
who have any acquaintance with the
operations in hospitals in China know
how common, or rather how almost
universal, it is for the patients to
bear without f1inching degree of
pain from which the stoutest of US
would shrink in terror.

chariot. On high platform at the
back of this is a figure of Fortune.
In front Of Fortune, on revolving
platform, is a Spanish gentleman, a
lady, a Swiss soldier, banker, a
peasant carrying a chicken, and a
lawyer with a pocketful Of docu-
ments. AS this platform reyolves, it
keeps the position of an inclined
plane, first one end and then the other
being raised to the height of Fortune.
This illustrates, as the Song of the
Gayants" explains, that fortune
changes, and every one, from the
gentleman to the peasant, has his
vicissitudes.
The origin of the festival is not
known. In 1745, company of gun
ners from Douai, who were encamped
at Journal, suddenly deserted in a
body, with their arms and baggage.
The provost wished to search for
them and was very indignant, but
their captain said:
"Be calm. I know where they are.
They had to 60 and see their grand.
father Gayant at Douai. They will

bringing with them large number OF

Ancient Dogs.

A paleontologist says that in that
part of this country which is now
called Colorado and Dakota there
were several kinds Of dog-like ami
mails, about the size of foxes, which
were nocturnal in their habits, having
very large eyes with which to see in
the nighttime. They had great ears
also, and long, sharp noses. All
these things can be told from their
skulls. There was a huge species OF
true dog in Nebraska, but compar-
atively little is known about it, be-
cause only very incomplete remains
have been discovered up to the pres
ent time. Another true dog was the
;elurodon, which had some of the
characteristics of the cat. 1t was
abundant in Nebraska, had powerful
crushing teeth, and is supposed to
have been the ancestor Of the hyenas
of to-day Probably it was a scavenger
in its habits, devouring the small
bodies Of the antelopes and small
camels which then browsed numer-
ously on the plains and in the valleys
of this country.

of which they can get hold. They
never by any chance look as if they
were happy, but they always look
wise, and you know, probably, that
in olden times the Greeks considered
the owl sacred bird and it was said
to be a special favorite of the god
dess of wisdom, Athene. There is
something attractively mysterious
about an owl, and when one of the
big ones, known as barn owls or
screech owls, flies noiselessly through
the air on warm summer night,
uttering weird and mournful cry,
one has almost the feeling, as one
stands and watches it, as if one had
suddenly got into quite a strange
world. In the woods after dark one
may often hear owls call to each
other, or listen to the queer little at
tempts at shrieking by the owlets.
One of the most curious of North
American species is the burrowing
owl, which inhabits a hole in the
ground. If necessary it will make
its own burrow, but prefers to take
possession of that of the prairie dog.

A Mosquitoes Bill.

The bill of a mosquito is complex
institution. 1t has a blunt fork at
the head and is apparently grooyed.
Working through the groove and
projecting from the angle of the fork
is lance of perfect form, sharpened
with fine beyel. Beside it the most
perfect lance looks like a hand-saw.
On either side of the lance two saws
are arranged, with points fine and
sharp and the teeth well defined and
keen. The backs of these saws play
against the lance.
When the mosquito alights with
its peculiar hum, it thrusts its keen
lance, and then enlarges the aperture
with the two saws which play beside
the lance until the forked bill with
its capillary arrangement for pump
ing the blood can be inserted. The
saving process is what CRATES upon
the nerves of the victim and causes
him to strike wildly at the sawyer.

trotted brindle bulldog of large

he had taken leading part. He
was evidently looking for trouble
for a "scrap"-and he found it,
Across the street, sneaking demurely
along, was small black dog of the
cur species, with decrepit tail, a
liberal crop of "whiskers" and that
air of careless abandon so often seen
in the tramp species Of both the hui
man and the brute family. The bull.
dog spied him. "Aha!" said he,
there's an easy game. I'll just take
a fall out of that fellow" And with
out more ado Bully leaped across the
street, fell on the other dog like a
thousand of brick, and, cheered on by
his master, he proceeded to do up
that little dog in just the way
Mitchell says he'll do Sullivan. And
then that little dog with the whiskers
and the air of abandon woke up. He
grabbed Bully by the throat and
downed him, bit hunk out of his
neck, and then a large portion of
Bully's nose disappeared in the fracas.
By that time Bully's master interfered
and saved his pet from total annihila-
tion. The little dog, still demure,
licked his chops, smiled broadly and
trotted on off up the street, while
his opponent was taken home for re-
pairs. And the moral is plain:
