CONGRESSMAN MCCALL OF Mass

CONGRESSMAN MCCALL OF Massa-
chusetts. who is serving his first term
In the House, declares that the life
OF a statesman is not one OF unal-
loyed JOY. He says that Congress re-
minds him OF his first days in college,
when he was thrown among strangers
who made merry at his expense. Even
in the matter OF hazing Mr.. Mccall
says that Congress is no better than
a big school. New members are in
terrupted, misinformed and other
wise despitefully used. He has not
yet deciped TO resign. however.

The series of official reports setting
forth the material and educational
progress of the country, recently is
sued by the Mexican Government,
though not marking 80 great an adj
vance as expected, is still very encour-
aging. During the past twenty years,
the period covered by the comparisons,
the railway mileage has increased
twentyfold, and the telegraph mileage
eightfold, followed in each case by
proportionate increase of business.
Exports and imports have largely in
creased, rs have also manufactures and
agriculture, and the appropriations OF
the Federal and State Governments
and municipalities for educational
purposes has advanced from g.! $780,
900 to $3, 800, 900. Peace and pros
perity have been secured, especially
during the Presidency of General
Diaz, who holds the reins OF Govern
ment with firm hand, and who is not
afraid TO suppress the tendency to
revolutionary movement by the prompt
application of military force. The
country still suffers, however, from
the lack of esteem for productive in
dustry on the part of the upper classes,
whose chief ambition is to hold public
offices, initiating in this respect the
Argentines, and the absence of trained
habits of industry on the part of the
Indian and mixed races, which consti-
tute four-ffths of the population.
What is most needed is Industrious i'm
Migrants to develop the vast natural
resources of the Republic, n fact clear
ly perceived by the Government, which
has already permitted the establish.
ment of Mormon colonies in Chihua-
hua and Sonora, and bid for immigra-
tion from northern Europe.

Madam Ruskin.

The mother OF John Ruskin was a
woman who, though she lived to the
age Of 80 years and was nearly blind.
ruled her household and her son, with
severe kindness, to the last Her
old servant Anne. who had lived with
the family almost from the time since
1t had become family, somtimes
proved a troublous dispensation to
her, a fact which Mrs. Ruskin was
not slow in acknowledging. John
Ruskin writes OF her:
"She had very creditable and re-
publican aversion TO doing immedi-
ately or in set terms, as she was bid;
so that when my mother and she got
old together and my mother got very
imperative and particular about hav-
ing her tea cup set on one side OF the
little round table, Anne would OBJ
servantly and punctiliously put 1t on
the other; which caused my mother
to state to me every m Jrning after
breakfast, gravely, that II ever a wo-
man in this world was possessed by a
devil, Anne was that womanw
Mrs. Ruskin never had any hesita-
tion in speaking her mind. A GER
tain clever young man was in the
habit OF regaling the company with
extravagant tales, after dinner, but
the old lady would throw down her
netting and exclaim:
"How can you two sit there and
listen To such pack OF liesP"
When this lady 'Of the old school,
died, her son was left with sur
Srising sense OF loneliness" He had
lovei her truly, obeyed her strictly,
and tended her faithfully. He buried
her in his fathers grave, and wrote
upon it,
Here, beside my fathers body, /
have laid my mothers; nor was dearer
earth ever returned TO earth, nor
purer life recorded in Heaven"

THE "faith curists" continue TO
announce their miracles" and to
make converts in all classes OF society.
But 1t is to be remarked the victims
OF the faith without works" upon
which they insist are nearly always
from the lowest and most unlettered
class Ought not these poor and
honest persons to be protected against
the mistaken enthusiasts who lead
them astray?

Arab Horsrmanship.

The Arab, when he Is a horseman,
Is a superb one, even though he does
not come within our cannonS OF the
art. When the hor e is only means
OF transportation or beast Of burden,
the Arab is no better than his ilk
elsewhere. When, as in the desert,
the horse is his pet, his companion,
his dream by day and night, the Arab
Is in a sense Incompatible. No master
can be more kind. No dog is more
intelligent than the dark, liquid-eyed
steed he has bred and trained. whose
ancestor. hundred generations back,
his ancestors. have loved and trusted.
This horse-wuuld that we human
beings had not been civilized out Of
so many OF our animal qualities!-
will follow him day and night He
would fret out his soul at being
hitched TO post aud his master
would scorn 10 tie him. He would
stand immovable In the midst OF
danger and fright which would make
any civilized horse frantic. He will
carry his master through fire and
water lie will unninchingly face
wounds and death, so long as the
hand which has fed him is placed
upon his neck. He will stand over
his disabled lord till help arrives OF

Burros.

Donkey is, in Spanish, burro. In
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and
in Arizona, where the donkey is as
we'll known as the horse, he Is always
called by his Spanish name, on ac-
count OF the fact that this section of
the United States so recently belonged
to the Mexicans, who. as everybody
knows, talk that language. The
Spaniards aud Mex cans also apply
the term "burro'' TO a stupid or ig.
norant person. Just as English-speak-
ing races use the word donkey"
The donkeys found in Kentucky
and Missouri are probably the largest
OF their race, because they are care
fully bred and looked after. But the
donkey OF the West-the burro-has
no "blood," no pedigree. Like Topsy
he "just growed." With ancestors
no better Off than himself, he has
been kicked and cufed and over
worked all his life and left to pick
up his living us he could. In conse'
quence he is stupid and lazy and
stubborn and dwarfed.
And yet, for all that, he Is patient
and ong-suTering, will grow fat on
rations that would scarcely keep a
nobler animal from starvation, and
is a most valuable aid to the progress
Of industry and civilization in the
West st. Nicholas

In the "Life and "reminiscences OF
Elkanah Watson" who was noted
philanthrophist and sturdy patriot Of
Philadelphia, the following incident
is related. 1t is OF interest, because
1t is probably the first authentic
painting OF the flag.
"At the close Of the revolutionary
struggle. having on the occasion Of
Lord Howe's relief OF Gibraltar re-
ceived 100 guineas as the result OF a
wager and the same day dining with
Copley the painter, he resolved TO de-
vote that sum TO portrait OF him.

but the background, that being re-
served by Copley TO represent a ship
bearing TO America the intelligence
OF the acknowledgements of lndepend-
ence-a rising sun gliding the stars
and stripes OF the newborn nation
streaming from her gait.
"All was completed but the flag,
which the painter did not esteem pru.
dent to insert, as his gallery was a
constant resort OF the royal family
and nobility. Il dined with the
artist, says Watson. on the glorious
5th OF December 1852, after listen
ing with him To the speech OF the
King formally receiving and recogniz-
ing the United States OF America as
one OF the nations OF the earth. Pre-
vious to dining, and Immediately
after our return from the House Of
Lords. Copley invited Us TO his studio,
and then and there, with a bold
hand and a master touch and Ameri-

Singleton Copley Of Boston-'at-
tached to the ship the stars and

Acknowledgement were still warm from
the Kings lips, the late rebel but

in his own kingdom and within few
rods OF his own palace. !"

A FRENCH physician who has
studied the habit or nail-biting care
fully and scientifically for some years,
announces that the practice, which
he dignifes with the name OF ony-
chophagy, prevails to deplorable ex.
tent among the school children Of
Paris. More than one.fourth OF the
boy pupils In the public schools are
confirmed nail-biters, and among the
girls the percentage is larger. The
habit the doctor said was due to nerv-
business, and ne proposes TO cure IL by
means OF hypnotic suggestion.

And He Kept Right on Praying.

Ludicrous incidents often happen in
even so solemn an affair as q funeral.
One of the old-school preachers wes
engaged to conduct a funeral service in
o Pennsy ylvania town. The interment
was to take place in Pittsburg, and
there was only one train going TO that
city in the afternoon. The hour for
the servics was arranged 30 that this
train could be easily made. The serv-
ice went along smoothly until the
preacher, who was slightly deaf, arose
and began to pray. He continued in .
fervcnt manner, with his eyes closed,
for forty minutes. Some one finally
suggested that they get the casket out
OF the house and take il down to the
station, which was near by. This was
done unknown to the preacher, who
stood with closed eyes. About that
time the train gave q long, loud whistle
for the station. Quickly ending his
prayer, the clergyman took in the sit
uation. and got to the station just in
time 10 catch the train.

A GANG Of boy bandits who called
themselves "The Red Rangers OF the
Passaic," has been dispersed by the
police at Park Ridge, N. J. The
young rascals, who had established
their headquarters in wood, from
which they had sailed forth In fine
bandit style on predatory excursions,
evidently took their cue from the
mock heroc, OF nickel novels, for tat
tered copies OF "Nat Woods Capture
OF Keno Clark, King OF the Diamond
Letters" and other choice works OF
fiction, were found In their retreat.
The "Red Rangers were arrested
and brought before a justice, who
lectured them soundly and then dis
missed them for interesting inter-
views with their parents 1t is pre-
sumablc that the reception accorded
them at home wounded their feel
ings, physically as well as morally.
1t is pity, however, that the au-
thors and publishers OF the sensa-
tional trash on which the "Rangers"
had been feeding their minds cannot
bc chastiSed in like fashion.

An old proverb has IL, 'there is
many a true word spoken in Jest;"
many false one is spoken in the

from a desire TO say piquant things,
and so exaggerate or even invent

THE Canadian Government has
decided not to sell for the present
the islands that 1t owns in famous
Thousand Island group on the st.
Lawrence, and one o. the main
reasons leading to this decision is
said to be its fear that Americans
would be the purchasers Inpecuni-
osity may, however, finally over
como this objection. Money is money.
even IL 1t comes from American
pockets, and money is what Canada
needs. III the wouldbe owners

THERE seems TO be some peculiar
attraction about criminals, which
makes other people fail In love with
them. Usually IL Is the case that
masculine scoundrels are admired by
women, and IL seems as though the
more debased and brutal their crimes
the more admirers they have, but 1t
was reversal OF the sexes In the
case OF "Blonde Mary" when she
was held for robbery in New York
the other day. Two letters came to
the prison for her from man who
said that he had fallen In love with
her picyure as published in the news
papers and begged her to marry him
out OF hand. When she was brought to
trial the man was in court, and when
she was discharged he walked away
arm in arm with her, openly begging
her to favorably consider his suit. 1t

The Japanese Government is said Il

The Japanese Government is said to
have demanded that the Hawaiian
Government extend the voting fran.
chise to Japanese on the islands, the
same as to Europeans and Americans.
In the opinion of the San Francisco
Chronicle "the demand has no legal
backing, for every Nation has an alb
solute right to regulate the elective
franchise for itself, but il Japan shall
insist Hawaii will be powerless to re-
sist, unless she be backed up by some
strong Nation"
