Two Remarkable Cures.

An old Irish woman's COW was sick
unto death, SO she turned to the priest
to save it. Il can't do anything to keep
your COW from dying" he said impa
tiently.
Faith an begorra it's you that can if
any one can." the answered in simple
faith.
Unwilling to have her reverence in
him shaken, the old man went to her
cabin. The sick COW was brought out
into the yard and propped up, then the
priest began a solemn march around it,
chanting monotonously, IF you die, you
die; if you live, you live" When at last
the tired priest sat down, the COW was
reviving, and it afterward lived to q
green old age. Some years later the
priest was at the point of death with a
terrible quinsy, when the old Irish wom-
an presented herself at the house and
told the doctor she could cure him.
She was laughed to scorn, but at last
had her own way. She insisted upon
having the dying mans bed brought out
into the middle of the floor, and around
it she slowly cantered, singing, IF you
live, you live, and il you die you die"
The humor Of the situation tickled the
suffering priest SO that hearty laugh
broke the quinsy. and he also ived-to
green old age.-Springfeld Homestead.

sHYLOCK,s FIRST LETTER.
A. A. Tanner in Farmers Tribune.

~
When the drums were loudly beat
ing,
And the cannon balls were flying,
And the rifle shots repeating,
And the wounded, dead and dying
Lay upon field of slaughter
Fallen for the cause of freedom
When the South were in rebellion
Came voice across the water
Came message DER the ocean
From the London city shylocks,
This message, this warning
From the London City shylocks
1--WE, your friends and brother shy
locks,
Seeing that the bloody struggle
May result in giving freedom
To the slaves now held in bondage,
Feel mighty inward prompting
Urging us to give the warning
CT a plan that's more effective
And in every way much better
Than the ownership of labor.
See to it, dear brother shylocks,
While the bloody wave is raging,
Look thou to the debt occurring
Fasten it upon the nation.
With the bonds that's interest bear
ing
Make the bonds banking basis,
Get control of money issues
Labor then will be your servant
You can master it with money;
This is the plan we shylocks favor
This we do in our own country,
Wherefore we are spared the
troubles
And the cares which are connected
With the ownership of labor
Do we likewise, brother shylocks.
We would give the further caution
'Gainst the use of greenback money:
1t must not long have existence
Must not be in circulation,
Since we shylocks cannot control
il"
This the message, this the warning,
From across the mighty ocean,
From the London city shylocks
To their brother Wall street shy
locks,
Who, with thankful hearts, received
it,
And by prompt and timely action
Have enslaved mighty nation,
And are much respected robbers.
Having legalized their stealing,
Sing, O muse, their praise hereafter!

As every exhibition by California artists
has been and will be the present is particu-
larry rich in its splendid scenic canvases.
Tom Hill's heroic conception Of mountain
scenery in the Yosemite Valley is a thing to
be remembered for all time. Keiih's oaks
and storms, Ieland's coast lines and Busl's
marines are only some of the excellent
things which cannot fail to win gold and

Progress of Women.


The year 1892 has been wonderful year
to the women of Great Britain. 1t greatest
triumphs are the opening of st. Andrews
University to women and the generosity of
the faculty in Offering to the women STU
dents a share of the bursaries or scholar
ships, one-half of which is reserved for
women students exclusively. The Council
of the Royal Geographical Society has
agreed to admit women as fellows on the
same terms as men; and the British Medi-
cal Association called general meeting for
the purpose of considering the admission
OF the 40 registered women physicians in
England. The important place assigned to
cision of the Foresters' Club to admit
women on the same terms as men are strik-
ing proofs of the tendency OF the times to
acknowledge on the one hand women's In
tellectual power and capacity for scientific
research and on the other their right to
mingle with men as equals in the more
practical affairs OF life.

WILLIAM KEITH IN OIL.
The Heroic Yosemite Scenery of Tom
Hill, Ludovici's Portraits and

Perhaps ii Is true. though the critics are
the authority for 1t, that American paint
ers are not heavy on figures and allegories
and such things, but they do toe the scratch
when it comes to landscapes. There is no
weakness in their scenery. And as for
portraits-well. it's no longer true that you
have to cross the Atlantic TO get creditabie
likeness of yourself in oil by q painter
whose name on the canvas adds pecuniary
value TO the portrait.
For truth, art in San Francisco mas long
since passed the stage Of provincialism, and
the product Of her painters is known and
admired wherever art is appreciated.
If you think this is putting it too strongly
and are anything of a critic yourself you
will be convinced that it is no more than
sober truth after you have visited the art
galleries at the exposition.
There are only very few pictures in the
lot about which the least said the better,
and this is more than compensated for by
the fact that Neal. Mathews, Lash. Hugo
and Fisher have not exhibited anything.

well executed pastel canvas of a female

their own among the oil paintings. In fact
they do more. In many cases the pastels
show TO better advantage than the oil
paintings. They are more brilliant in tone
and their execution seems more skillful
The lifelike flesh tnts ana vivid coloring
Of these pictures make one feel like waiting
to see II the figures are not really going to
step down and out of the frames. Another
picture by julius Ludovici that has at
tracted much attention here as well as In
Sacramento is the life-szed sitting portrait
IN oil OF Miss Maud Morgan with her harp.
The cOlOring Is rich and warm, but what
wins most In the picture is the inspired ex-
preston on the sklllfully executed face of
the fair harpist. There is also pastel por-
trait of the late Hall NcAllister by this
artist 1t makes striking contrast to the
portrait OF William Keith in oil. and the
two make the strongest pair Of portraits in
the exhibition. There are other creditable
