Shrieis of wrath and pain came SO

There was not moment to be lost
and the fat policeman grasped his club
with the air of man determined TO

waddled over and painted:

Legs and arms were slowly unlocked
and grimy hands relaxed their hold OF
hair, ears and noses and to the officers
surprise he saw ten of the very tough

him.

the author of a somewhat rare book
entitled THE Dialogue of Devils
Duncan was a young man who had

it was ordained that his head should
wag in the pulpit. To further this OBJ
ject he proceeded to London, C. W.. to
attend school and get his head
stuffed with the unl1nowable. While
there he was struck with the pangs of
love by a young lady, who possessed
good sense and cultivated under

him that Duncan had said that he

An Old-New Land.

It would be difficult to find any 9TH
n territory in the western hemisphere
which has been SO long in process of
development, with so little actually ac-
complished, as the peninsula of lower
California. Three hundred and sixty
years have passed since Cortez first
visited it, and. true to the instincts of
the early Spanish adventures, tempted
his fellow-countrymen with apocryphal
tales of the treasures that he found.
This was the beginning of the roman
tic stories about this land, which since
then have increasingly been told, but
which have oftener been the romance
of depreciation than solid fact. No
greater misfortune can befall a, country
than that it should become known as
treasure land" where adventures
who will hazard much may hope to
gain much, rather than as one where
moderate rewards will recompense
honest toll. Such reputation at
tracts reckless men who. failing in that
which they seek, having no mind for
honest and prosaic. methods of life,
readily turn to crime in order to quick
ly achieve the fortune which eluded
them.-Lippincott's. al

Annihilat:on Seems to be the Only Safe

"These shoes will drive me crazy"
said my friend Craggs to me as he put
forward in evidence a foot clad in a
brand new and decidedly neat-looking,
cork-soled shoe.

same form of insanity myself said I,
looking disparagingly at the pair
which incased my own feet.
perhaps not, but just listen" My
friend arose from his chair and walked
there ensued tumult of squeaking
and shrieking from the soles of his
shoes that much resent led the groan-
ing of a prairie wagon crossing the
plains.
Il bought these Shoes continued
Craggs, because they had cork soles
and would keep my feet dry. When 1
found them possessed of this Internal
squeak I was willing to try anything
to stop it that offered chance of sue
cess. One of my friends told me to
place the shoes overnight on a sheet of
wet plotting paper and in the morning
the squeak would be gone did So
When put them on the next morning
they were soaking wet and had to
wear them that way all day. The re-
suit was 1 caught cold, and not only
did it fail to stop the squeaking of the
shoes. but every time / drew u long
breath for the next week my chest
squeaked nearly as loud as the shoes
''Acting upon the advice of other
friends, have variously filled the soles
full of pegs till they look like anything
but hand-sewed shoes, oiled them,
soaked them, hammered them and
cursed them. The only salts faction l
have derived is from the latter-but
the shoes bid fair to squeak on forever.
eff I'm late to church l go home
again rather than walk down the aisle.
If I'm late to theater I-ahem!-I
squeak my way shamefacedly to my
seat. When / walk along the street
the newsboys yell at me and take a
iiendish delight in my embarrassment.
Finally, when my business keeps me
out late at night. as it often does, ac-
tually have to sit down on the front
stoop and take my shoes off before
enter the house rather than wake the
occupants of the entire fiat.
II have learned one thing, to my sor-
row. Total humiliation is the sole and
only cure for squeaking shoes. IN. 7.

AN ANGlOMANIAC.

MY lady fair went over the sea-
Anu Wnen she came back TO her own countree,
Sne scorned the land of the brave and free
Ana sighed for An aristocracee
She said that we had no leisure class,
1nAt our com pany manners were green as

Our society only o vulgar mass,
which had certainly come to shocking pass.
On our uncouth speech she laid great stress.
AND ner horror she couldn't at all express
When she heard Us repeatedly say ST guess" I
And constantly call o gown a "dress"
Our civilization was sadly new,
AND our men Of culture decidedly few
And almost completely lost to view
because OF the work they needs mus. do
It was wretched form to be all in trade.
And put US down on o lower grade
Where true nobility wouldn't have stayed,
Unless II had been handsomely paid
She shuddered to see coronet

On the brow OF some duchess deep in debit
Hunting was out OF the question here.
And we hadn't park to contain our deer
NOR could We boast of O single peer
And our season was quite the wrong time of
year.

That the Pilgrim Fathers were low and coarse,
And only prevailed by unmannerly force,
When they came over here as q last resource.
And they left to succeed them a rude, wild
race.
Devoid Of gentility, ease and grace,
Whose only goal is o metal base
Which they madly pursue at o reckless pace

Though ImprovIdent, He Endures Hunger
Bravelv for His Children.
The Indians are patient and clan
nish people; their love for one another
is stronger than that of any civilized
people / know. If this were not SO, I
believe there would have been tribes Of
cannibals among them. White people
have been known to kill and eat their
companions in preference to starving;
but Indians-never! In times of fam
inc the adults denied themselves fair
meal in order to make the food last as.
long as possible for the children, who
were not able to bear hunger as well.
as the old. AS people they can GO
without food much longer than any
other nation.
once passed through one Of those
hard springs when we had nothing to
eat for several days. well remember
the six small birds which constituted
the breakfast for six families one
morning, and then we had no
dinner or supper to follow it.
What a relief that was to me
although had only small
wing of small bird for my share!
Soon after this we came to q region
wner0 DOHalOcS were plenty, ana we
soon forgot all the suffering we had
just gone through. +!
Such was the Indians wild lifei
When game Was plenty and the sun
shone graciously upon them they for
got the bitter experiences Of the win
ter before. Little preparation was
made for the future. They are chill
dren Of nature, and occasionally she
whips them with the lashes of expert
ence; yet they are forgetful and care
less. Much Of their suffering might
have been prevented by little calcu-
luton. During the summer, when ma
ture was at her best and provided
abundantly for the savage, it seemed
to me that no life was happier than
his! Food was free; lodging free;
everything free! All were alike rich
in the summer; and again, all were
alike poor in, the winter and early
spring. Their diseases were fewer
and were not so destructive as now.
and the Indians health was generally
good. Nicholas

NATURES uPHEAvALS.


Mankind Meets Them With the Calm Con.
fidence In the Future.
Many are half-inclined to accuse
Providence for allowing great loss OF
human life. forgetting that we are all
under capital sentence. and that the
occurrence Of deaths wholesale instead
of in detail can not make much differ
ence in the great scheme, and many
more doubt, il Providence does not
leave the world to go its own way and
provide for its own needs-a theory
which can not be strengthened by any
individual occurrence. Our reflection
would be a different one-the wonder
full rarity and comparative smallness of
the cataclysms which affect man. Out
side the effects of huge wars, like the
barbarian invasion of Rome, or the
Mohammedan conquests, audible his
tory does not record one, not even the
burning of Rome, which has much af-
fected the course of events in the hap
piness of mankind.
Behind history, If Sir FL. Howorth is
right, such cataclysms may have oc-
CURED, but within history we know of
none. The very biggest was probably
the outbreak of the black death. which
in 134S-51 destroyed third of our own
population, and certainly DETECTED the
course of it's social history. The vol
canic outbursts have usually occurred
in thinly-populated districts; among
capitals Lisbon only has been heavily
struck. and it revived, while. though
there have been mberless famines,
no famine has ever destroyed a race.
Wild tribes have passed away, there
is reason to believe, under the attack
epidemic-the people of FIJI nearly
persisted in our own time-and locali-
ties have been desolated, but no civil
lied people has died out through dis
ease. Yet there seems no absolute
reason why an epidemic should not
gather strength for months, as it
usually does for weeks, until it's raw
ages destroyed nation; why a
storm wave should not overwhelm a
country like Holland, or why a city or
port, or for that matter a vast reach
of inhabit territory in harvest time,
should not perish in a fire.
Think what masses of inf1amma BILE
material we gather together. and how
few are the great fires! How much
dynamite is there stored in London or
Liverpool, or, perhaps, unloading at
this very moment in Cardiff There
is hardly limit to what fire or
flood Or the cholera might do. and yet
men live on, full of a reasonable Sc
curity born in all of long experience,
and strengthened in a few by con-
fidence, not quite SO reasonable, that
Providence will not suffer a huge
calamity. Providence has probably
suffered the humiliation of worlds.
Every now and then the security is
broken by an event like the explosion
of Krakatoa, which has never been suf-
ficiently described, and which might
have altered the face of the world

Directions to the Amateur How to Prepare
for Work.
The sketch for water color should
be light and made with hard pencil.
A soft pencil leaves black dust which
will darken the washes. To avoid this
a silver pencil is sometimes used; the
soft gray mark is easily covered. Any
erasures may be made with small par
ticles Of bread. Do not use a rubber.
as it will either glaze or roughen the
paper and thus prevent the washes from
flowing evenly.
Flower studies will be the most in
teresting and the most easily managed
for the first attempts. 1t is good
plan to arrange few flowers which
are to be skctched in small-necked
bottle filed with fresh water.
A small piece of charcoal dropped
into the water will keep the
giving ample time to study them. Frail
blossoms, that are apt to drop their Pc
tails If disturbed, may be made to last
for several days by applying little
liquid glue to the base of the flower
with small, soft brush.
When q sketch of flowers has been
made, and carefully corrected until
satisfactory, give the surface of the pa.
per light wash of clean water, being
careful to exactly follow the penciled
outline, for the color, when applied
will extend over the same surface a.
the wash. As one can not always con-
troll the washes until after great deal
of practice it win be best not to at
