A Coughing Parrot.

In one New York family three chill.
dren were afflicted with whooping
cough. They coughed, and coughed
and coughed, and the family parrot
took it into his head to initiate them.
When any one of the children coughed
he would accompany it with cough
ing paroxysm so natural that it was
impossible to tell whether it was one
of the children or the parrot that
was coughing. The bird seemed to
enjoy having the whooping cough,
and after a while he clamored for
medicine whenever he saw that il
was being administered to the chill
dren.

| After a While ray Of light began to
/ dawn on Laura's mind. She saw that
a great mistake had been made by

of it had come about

you went away"
Lem opened his eyes wide and stared
blanlly at Laura. He understood it
all now. 1t was Laura's sister and
husband he had seen that night in
Judge Dagley'S parlor, and he thought

and what years of bitter suffering that
mistake had wrought for both him and
Laura! With very humble heart and
a very contrite spirit he told Laura
of his mistake and of everything at
tending it.
Il was a fool, Laura he added ''to
ever doubt you for an instant, but l
was SO sure it was you 1 saw that

l have suffered for it-suffered bitterly.
And l never ceased to love you. If
you can forgive me little, that is all

Laura laid her hand on LENS fore
head and lokoed down into his poor,
wasted face, saying softly:
Il forgive you everything, Lem. l
forgive you because I love YOU
Two months after Lem was well,
and then one day there was a quiet
wedding at Judge Dagley's house. The
bride and groom still bore some traces
of the trials through which they had
passed, but the light of a new happi-
ness Shone in their faces, showing that
the night was passed and that new
and glorious day was breaking over
over their lives.

Days passed, and the consciousness
returned to Lem, and he opened his
eyes and looked about him. His first
glance rested on a face familiar yet
strangely altered-a face that had been
with him in all his wanderings, in sick
ness and health. 1t was Laura's face
saddened and pale now, but Laura's
face still, and though for moment he
doubted her reality, he soon compre-
hended that she was still in the flesh.
For a long time he looked at her,
reading the story of her sufferings, then
he said softly, Laura

The Race Problem.

The race problem in the South has
furnished material for politicians to
create sensational feeling so long that
they hate to abandon it. Having been
raised in Texas and being thoroughly
acquainted with every section of that
state, l am at loss to see how the pub
lie opinion of some of the Northern
and Middle states have been led astray.
The sensational reports from other
Southern states, l am sure, are as mis-
leading as those from Texas. The revolt
ing crime of rape is frequently punished
by Infatuated mObS and the stake is fire.
quently the mode of punishment for
such crimes. AS the negro commits
ninety-nine out of a hundred of these
crimes, he suffers more in proportion.
1t is horrible punishment but one has
only to stop and think that were the
victim his own wife, sister, child or
mother, would he not say that justice
had been properly served to show other
human bruteS what must be expected
Virtue must be protected and by the
grace of God it will be protected as
long as the AnglO-SaXOn blood fills our
veins. During thirty years residence in
various portions of Texas. | have never
seen negro inundated and made
to vote any ticket, and not one election,
however unimportant, have failed to
attend. The public school fund fur
nishes alike, to white and black, eight
months in the year educational privil-
eyes, although the negro pays less
than one per cent. of said fund. Never
will social equality be achieved, and it
is useless to expect it. Those fully &C
quainted with the characteristics of the
two races, know that social equality
between them is an impossibility. The
best paying Office in the state-collec-
tor of customs at the port of Calves
ton-has been held, for the past four
years, by negro, w. w. Caney. He
has the good sense, however, not to
preach equality, an attribute almost
foreign to the race. TEXAS, No. 2.
[Our contributor seems to ignore the fact that
nine-tenths of the victims of lynch lawlessness
in civilized districts are uncOndemned Negroes
or Mongolians. THE MIRROR simply demands
that all men, Negro, AnglO-SaxOn, Italian, Sean
dinavian. Indian or what not, shall have fair
trial. 1t is the duty of our national government
to certify to every citizen that which the cOnSt-
tuition gives him. The reports of most of the
negrOcides, unless the act was accompanied by
special demoniac cruelties. are usually mere
paragraph; for, sad to say, these barbarisms
have become so common as to be mere incidents
on the tide of current events. Ed

dance. Had such hall, such music and
opportunities for dancing been accom-
panied by milk, tea, coffee and soda
fountain, it would have done as big if
not as profitable business. When men
and women are hardened by constant
contact with vice their tastes become
vitiated and they seek the low and vile.
But while the bloom of virtue yet re-
mains on Youth it would rather con-
sort with purity than with sin.
Let religious societies give little
heed to our small voice. It comes up
from the pit in which are thrown the
victims of Satan's cast-net. It expresses
the murmurings of many one whose
youth was blighted by too early, though
unwilling. contact with the frost of vice.

Do Fish Sleep?

Do fish sleep? No absolutely certain
answer can be given, says Medicus in
the Gazette. My own impression is that
they do, but when say this let it not
be supposed that confuse their slum-
Der, coma or rest-call it what you like
with the sleep of animals. 1t is the
same only in generic kind, inasmuch as
it relieves the function as analo-
gous slumber does in the higher ami
mails. TO understand the meaning |
wish to convey, it is necessary to bear
in mind that the fish is eminently en-
dowed with muscular and, cOnse-
quently, great locomotive power. More
over, as it consumes but little oxygen,
the waste of tissue is not great, hence
fish have been known to do without
food for a great length of time. SINH
larly the stress on the vital powers is
not great, compared with that produced
by the difficulties of movement in land
animals.
These facts, viz, great muscular pow
er, easy lOcomOtiOn and small cOnsump-
ton Of oxygen. being borne in mind,
we can understand why the necessity
for sleep is small, and are prepared to
find that fish sleep but little.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvcts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper; to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners; to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological infOrma-
ton, and to aid in dispellng that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.
