Out in front of the hospital half dozen

der the great oak beside the gate and
whitfield pieces Of board listlessly while
waiting for the supper bell to ring. A
stumbling old fellow under a torn straw
hat was watering the lawn. The good
mother superior directed his work.
Across the mesa glanced duskily the
slanting rays of the sun. which, ball of
fame, was slowly dropping down behind
the Spanish peaks. South of the square
building stretched a wide expanse Of
brown prairie over which wandered the
sisters cows in search of stray grass
blades. In the southeast corner room on
the second floor an emaciated figure re-
clined on a bed as fresh and aromatic as
the shrubs in the garden below.
The patients eyes looked longingly
through the eastern window at the lolling
paupers under the tree. He gazed visit

Every line of her pretty face, every
dimple on her satiny cheek appeared be-

over her dainty head like pillows of per-

he reached up his arms with a faint cry

thirty paintings by Bartram Hiles, an
artist who, while quite a boy. met with
an accident by which he lost both arms.
Having from childhood shown strong
disposition and love for drawing, he was
taken in hand by some artistic friends
and taught to draw, holding the pencil IN
his mouth. After a time he became
student at the Merchant Venturers
Schools, and studied so assiduously that
he won a national scholarship. value

having won these honOrs, the authorizes
at South Kensington sent him to PARIS
for some months to study at the museums,
paying all his expenses. The ARMIES

Slaves of Their own Signatures.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Much of the Presidents business CON
sists in signing his name, which must be
attached to all appointments, commits
sions, promotions and thousand and one
other documents. So exacting is this
part Of his duty that he cannot perform
the whole of it. One employe of the gov
eminent gets 81 200 year for writing Mr.
Cleveland's name on land warrants. He
does nothing else but that.
There are other officials in Uncle Sans
employ, by the way, who do nothing else
practically but sign their own names.
This is almost the sole duty of the regis
ter of the treasury, who is kept hard at
work signing documents from a. m. TO 4
p. m. every day. The assistant treasurer
of the United States is another slave to
his own signature, which he Is perpetu-
ally engaged in affixing to warrants for
money.
Mr.. Cleveland's messages to congress
are all written in autograph originally.
He does all his writing with his own
hand. Such documents he produces on
foolscap with pen and ink, turning of
sheet after sheet with scarcely "a correc-
tion. An Interpolation is rare in his
manuscript. In this fashion his most fin

The little clock upon the mantel licked
its way into the night The wandering
wind slipped out and, in the gathering
gloom, there stood before the window,
like a giant sentinel or the shadow of a

One quart of the best -four, half tesspoonful
of SALT four tablespoonful Of lard chopped fine

with it. Put 1t on board, and knead until 1t Is
perfectly pliable and makes . popping sound
under your hands from the air bubbles breaking
in 1t, and until you can pull 1t down in long
strips. These tests are infallible, but you have
to knead hard and long before the dough will
answer to them. When 1t does, you can make
the biscuit. Break eff pieces about the size OF
an egg, mold them into round balls and roll
three uarters of an inch thick with rolling PIN

did not seem to affect him more than to
make him lurch a bit, for he went on just
the same; indeed, if anything, faster, and

trouble, at no little expense to my hunt

fridge in.
In the meantime the giraffe had made
good use of his remaining powers and
was fully mile ahead. l felt certain
however, that he must come to a stand
before long, and, anyway, would take
back as much meat as l could load up on
the horse and walk back myself So
once again I started in pursuit, and hav-
ing at last come up with the now almost
exhausted beast rode right alongside,
and holding up my carbine so as to almost
touch him, fired and almost smashed his
shoulder, rolling him over. l then speed

meat should be left to be devoured by
hyenas, which would assuredly happen
before morning | rode hastily back to
camp and babe the boys take couple of
oxen and haul the giraffe right back to
our skerm, which was accordingly done.
During the night the hyenas made a
great fuss over the Offal, which we had
taken the precaUtion to drag some dis
lance from camp, and kept us awake till
early morning. A lion also roared sew
eral times and necessitated a watch being
kept. We were, however, not molested
in any way, although it was evidently
quite close, and the oxen were almost
frantic, as also was my horse.
Next day | shot the lion, a very old one,
with fangs all worn down, and just such
a one as would be dangerous on accO unit
of its incapacity to hunt in the ordinary
way.

BRAZILIAN POLITICAL METHODS
The Notes of Scientist Who Went to
Observe an Eclipse.
From the Boston Globe

IToHu but bOSlOH NfiObS-
Sir Benjamin Stone was a member Of
the expedition to Brazil to observe the
late eclipse of the sun. Being a scientist
whose views are wholly divorced from
politics, and quite impartial, he was
requested by tine British foreign office
in sort of unofficial way, to gather all
the facts he could relating to the revolu-
tions which so frequently occur in that
country.
Sir Benjamin reports that the two
great banes" of Brazi~are politics and
gambling" To fire out the governor"
in the inland towns and provinces by way
of a local uprising, is not unfrequently the
pastime of an evening.
But the Brazilian politicians do not stop
to fire out" with the ballot. They form
their combinations stealthiiy until local
revolution is in pickle. Then, with the
aid of such soldiers as have quietly been
induced to join the revolution,
raid is made upon the individual sought
to be Outsed and the affair may last a
day, a week a month, or longer, accord
ing to the amount Of resis lance involved
Sir Benjamin amusingly relates that
the British consul was aroused from
sleep one morning by terrible commo-
ton. On inquiring the cause he was told
that 1t was revolution. 20,
is that ALL" said he II was
afraid it was my men out on
strike" and he went to sleep again Up
ward of 1850 people were killed in this
particular revolution, however, which
occurred on Sunday, the great day for
such affairs.
With gambling as popular and univer-
sal as revolution Brazil would seem to
have a long course of political and moral
training ahead of her before things will
become permanently Strengthened out.

The Nominations Call is Fighting.
From Che washington Post.

An intimate friend of Senator Call de-
declares that the Florida senator has been
grossly misrepresented in the reports of
his alleged hostilities to the federal nomi-
nations in his state, and declares that Mr..
Call is making a fight on but three APP
pointees, whose confirmation is now pend
ing before the Senate. They are: Perry,
postmaster at Lake City; Long, register
of the land Office, and Wilson, collector of
internal revenue for the state. Long's
confirmation is opposed by Senator Call
on strictly personal grounds, as this man
has gone out Of his way to speak in dis
courteous Eterms Of the senator, and is
known TO be an avowed enemy. The ap-
pointment was made over his pro-
test. and his confirmation is pushed by
Senator Pasco, against Senator Calls per-
sOnal appeal. MIR. Call also sets up the plea
that it has always been customary to APP
point the register from one district and
the receiver from another, but because
Congressman Cooper, OF Florida, is an ad-
ministration man, both these appoint
ments have been made from Cooper's dis
trict, and the first district has been ig-
nored The delay of the Senate to take
action in the matter is understood TO be
due not TO any indisposition 10 consider
it in executive session, but to the fact
that the friends of the appointees, have
asked for further time in which TO pre-
pare for Senator Calls argument why
they should not be confirmed.

SECRETS OF MECHANIC ARTS.
How Several Important Discoveries
Became Public Property.
From the Manufacturer's Gazette.

From the Manufacturers Gazette.
In the early working on arts and me-
chanics workmen were put on oath never
to reveal the process used in their manu-
facture. Doors were kept closed, artisans
going out were searched, visitors were rig
orously excluded from admission, and
false operations blinded the workmen
themselves. The mysteries OF every
craft were hedged in by quickest fences
of empirical pretcnsIOn and judicial
affirmation. There used to be close by
Temple Bar in London an old CHEMISTS
shop, the proprietor of which, in days
gone by. enjoyed the monopoly of making
citric acid. More favorably circumstance
than other secret manufacturers, his
was q process that required no assistance.
