PLAIN POINTERS

WRITTEN FOR TIE LIGHT. By OBSERVER
Some people brag of their hon
esty, while the fact is they never
had an opportunity to be dishonest,
as nobody would trust them with a
dollar.
Our ministers and preachers
seem to worry more for the welfare
of the people in the hereafter than
in the present world. They have
been trying to explain their theo-
ries on hell, unity Of different re-
ligious denomination, ETC., etc, but
neither, except the Rev. G. q. A.
Rose, seem to pay any attention to
the needs of many distressed fam
lilies, suffering for the necessities of
life.
One ounce of action is far better
than a pound of idle talk and use
less controversies.
Religion with an empty stomach
don't mix very well together. The
man who is compelled to comit an
offence to feed his hungry family,
should not be condemned by the
sour-faced clergy because he did
not satisfy them with sweet talk
about glory in the hereafter. The
stomach is a creditor who does not
like any stand-offs and the guar
dams of the souls could prevent
many unfortunates from digrace,
by extending to them material as
sistance instead of stuffing them
with dry sermons and useless dis
cussions in the newspapers.

A New Cereal.

A traveller in the Himalayan
mountain region has discovered
that the natives Of that country
cultivate a grain hitherto unknown
in civilized agricultural operations,
which has something the look of
wheat, but has very much longer
ears, and which has a peculiar in
ward curve. The shiny, brown
grain, unlike wheat, is, on the other
hand, much smaller than wheat
grains should be for so large an ear.
But the interest is that cereal of
this character should yield such
heavy crops in so high an altitude,
where the seasons are necessarily
short and the temperature low.
The natives call the grain kownee.

PANAMA, March IA new revolu-
ton has broken out in southern Hon
duras, which may lead 10 the over
throw Of President Pinciano Livi Levia
and possibly involve oil the Central
American republics in war.
Policarpe Bonilla is the leader Of the
new revolution, and he has started In
so well that he has sent word 10 his
friends in Panama that success Is al
ready assured. Gen. Terrencia Sierra
Is the chief of the revolutionary army
which Bonilla has organized, and to-
gether they make up the strongest com
bination that could be formed in south
ern Honduras.
Bonilla's first victory was won on the
plaza at Choluteca- That town was
protected by force of 1000 men COM
manded by Gen Martuo With an army
Of only 1000 Bonilla and Gen. Sierra
attacked the forces garrisoned at Cho-
luteca. They met n brave resistance
md holly contested battle was fought
on the plaza The loss on each side was
heavy and many buildings were de-
stroyed, but the details of the fatalities
have not yet reached this city.
After more than two hours OF de-
termined fighting, Gen. Martuo's bro
ken and shattered army was forced TO
retreat toward Rampola, leaving Cholu-
ceta and large amounts OF arms and
many prisoners in the hands Of Bonil-
las victorious army.
Excited by their victory and deter
mined to make the most of it. Bonilla
and Sierra are now pushing on toward
Tegucigalpa, hoping TO capture the
capital and proclaim the success OF the
revolution before the government has
had time TO recover from the
surprise occasioned by the victory OF
Choluceta- A decisive battle between
the army OF Levia and Bonilla's
forces is expected to take place within
few days Meanwhile complications
are arising which may bring about n
general war among the Central Ameri'
can republics President Levia accuses
the government of Nicaragua Of aiding
Bonilla in bringing about the revolu
ton. He has telegraphed President Sa
casea, ut Managua, demanding an eX
PLANTATION. President Levia expects u
have the aid of Guatemala, and should
Sacasea openly attempt TO reinforce
Bonila, both Costa Rica and San Saliva
dor may declare war against Nicaragua
and thus involve all the Central Amer
lean republics, save one, in bloodshed.
