Monday afternoon and Monday and
Tuesday nights Barlow Brothers min
strels will hold the boards at the Los
Angeles thester. They everywhere pre-
sent an entertainment not less brilliant
than that which has so frequently
delighted the metropolis with its COM
pleteness. For years they have enjoyed
the enviable distinction OF being among
the beat, and their hold on public
estesm and confidence was never strong
or than st the present time, due to the
care they have always successfully exer-
cised in making their entertainment as
refined as it is clever and amusing.
Lovers of good music and wholesome
fun should avail themselves of this op-
portunity and see Americas representa-.
tive minetrels, as this will be their only
appearance here this season. The
Denver Tribune of last Monday
says of this company: Bar
low Brothers mammoth minstrels
opened at the Tabor last night with a
show which GOES through from start to
finish with most refreshing snap. Not
a moment is lost. The jokes are brief,
crisp and pointed, and great per-
centage of them are new. The music
is well selected and the soloists are
above the average. The programme is
long and could be handled only by
management which insists on vim and
''git up'' in its artists. The company
carries its own orchestra, which ap-
pears on the stage in its regulation first
part. The stage is handsomely hung
with silken drapery. There are 10 end
men, including Markham, the Ken
nards, the Morrisseys and James and
Billy Barlow. After this come many
novelties in the form of olios and
original specially ideas, funmakers and
acrobats. The house was large and ap-

Moses and His Horns,

Did Moses have horns? Certainly not,
but if you have ever had the pleasure of
examining II copy of Michael Angeles
great picture of 1.-THE Lawgiver" you
have wondered why the great painter
surmounted the patriarchal face, gra 7
beard and becoming priestly gown with
pair of horns much resembling those
of 2-year-old animal of the bovine
tribe. The reason is this: Jerome's BIZ
BILE, the Latin Vulgate, tells that when
Moses came down from the mountain
top his face was radiant" (raye0 with
the great light shining from his pure
soul. In the Greek Septuagint the trar
lation said it was "cornua," meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later ver-
sion in making his Latin Vulgate AMI
translated "cornua" as "cornuta," the
last meaning horned. Angelo made
his picture accordingly.-Philadelp

Fighting Among Amorous Animals.

Among the lower animals sexual Sc

end only with the death of the weaker
rival. Male black snakes are apt not
only to kill, but to swallow vanquish1d

charmer, and the champion bucks of the
oryx antelope use their sharp horns to
stab the pretenders who venture to chal-
lenge their supremacy. The males Of the
yellow breasted pine mink have been

in the blind fury of their courtship COM

Tho Fertilization of EYillor,s.

Some singular exceptions s.ro found TO
rules generally deemed absolute, and re-
markable ones have recently been noted
in connection with theories recently
established in regard to the relations
between flowers and insects. Flowers
have to be fortified by pollen before
they can be productive. Most flowers
have stamens or pollen bearing organ7
and pistils, the reproductive organs, in
the same flower, but these separate or
gans maturing at different times the
wind or insects are agents for carrying
the fertilizing pollen to other flowers
than those which bear it. This is known
as cross fcrt iizHH5ii.
Those fov ~, only which require the
aid of insects have color or fragrance.
This is said 20 be an arrangement for at
tracing insects and insuring cross fer
tilization by their aid. But the exception
comes in the case of willows which are
in bloom in early spring and often com
monty known as pussy cats" Though
in the class fertilized by the wind, they
have bright golden color and delight,
full fragrance, and the philosophers are
at q loss to understand what this excep-
ton means.-Philadelp Times.

THE LESSON OF YOUNG MILBURN'S
Suicide

There will be sympathy for the
blind preacher and chaplain OF the
United States house o. representa-
tives, the Rev. f. H, Milburn. on &C.
count of the suicide of his son, but
people generally will think his son
did about the only good thing he ever
did, when he freed the world of his
presence. His son, a gentleman (?) of
leisure and pleasure, hale, hearty
man, wrote to his father for money
which the old man pathetic
ally wrote him he could
not send as it takes "all
my pitiful income $4,000 to support
my family, who are with me at Jack
sonville, Ills.n What a miserable,
trifling fellow this son OF a
worthy man must have been to de-
pend upon his poor blind father for
money to squander in dissipation. His
weakness Is exhibited by his commit
ting suicide. If he had been man
he would have taken off his coat and
gone to work at anything rather than
resort either to dependence on his
father or to commit suicide. The
latter was more manly than the
former at any rate. In this land of
opportunities, where ifany man will
work he can live comfortably, it is so
cowardly to turn away from the du-
ties of life to plunge into ills that we
know not of. There is no man Sc de
graded in all the land who cannot re-
deem himself by work. The moment
he shows an earnest intention to be a
man, friends spring up everywhere
around him and before he knows it
his garments are washed
from the filth of the
slums and he stands respected and
honored, "a man among men,"
How much happier every weak and
degraded man would be if he would
free himself from evil associations and
habits of tritling away his life with.
