AN Augusta, Me-, clergyman walked
into the store of q merchant, wet to the

which he was proud. He offered the
dominic some as joke, not dreaming
that his guest would accept. The
minister not only took big drink, but
put the bottle in his pocket.

in the city of Odessa. The Russian

all that was necessary to end the strike
was for the City Governor to call upon
the police and drive the strikers back

we'll come up to the mark no doubt, in
the near sweet by-and-by. A long step
in that direction was made in the recent

Marion Crawford Writes "A Little Lecture
on Intolerance

on Intolerance
There are very good and devout men
and women who take the world-present
and to come--quite literally. as mere
fultilment of their own limitations; who
look upon what they know as being all
that need be known, and upon what
they believe of God and heaven as the
mechanical consequence of what they
know, rather than as the cause and goal,
respectively, of existence and action;
to whom the letter of the law Is arbitra-
ry expression of despotic power,
which, somehow. must be looked upon
as merciful; who answers all questions
concerning Gods logic with the trensD-
dous assertion of Gods will whose God
Is ii magnified man, and whose devil is
II malignant animal, second only to God
in understanding. while extreme from
God in disposition.
There are good men and women
vho-to use natural but not tlippant,
simile-takc it for granted that the
soul is cast into the troubled waters of
life without the power to swim, or even
the possibility Of learning to float
dependent upon the bare chance that
some one may throw it the life buoy
of ritual religion, as its only conceivable
means of salvation. And the opponents
of each particular form of faith inyara-
bly, take just such good men and
women, with all their limitations, AS the
only true opponents of that especial
creed, which they theE proceed to tear
in pieces with all the ease such an undue
advantage of false premise gives them.
None of them have thought of intellect
ual mercy as being, perhaps, an integral
part of Christian charity. Faith they
have in abundance, and hope also not a
little; but charity, though it be for
mems earthly ills, and theoretically, if
not always practically, for mems spirit
ual shortcomings, is rigidly forbidden
for the errors of mems minds. Why?
No thinking man can help asking the
little question which grows great in the
unanswering silence that follows it

IN A MEXICAN MARKET.


Parrots. Puppies, Scrap Iron and Boiled

filled with assorted fruits, including
oranges, lemons, lines, pineappies,
pears, peaches. plums, bananas, guinness
alligator pears, cocoanuts and many
other tropical fruits, most OF which,
owing to the high market tax and costly
transportation, sell at about New York
prices. The streets and sidewalks III tho
vicinity are lined with men, women and
children, who are seated on the ground
surrounded by their market products,
which include, besides the ordinary
vegetable market product, parrots, pi-
geons, unweaned puppies, game chickens,
pet lambs, battered pigs and kids. Then
there are heaps of old iron, birdcages,
cheap calico, brass jewelry, boiled corn,
potatoes stewed pumpkins, beans, pep
per- cooked and raw pigs feet, sheep
heads, hearts, lights and entrails. There
are also flints and finder for starting
fires, metal mounted stone for grinding
corn, roots, bark and medical herbs and
dye woods. Close by we see fried
shrimp and grasshoppers. Each are
cooked whole and eaten so. The latter
are about the size of our common grass
hopper, but are entirely red but as to

these the natives gather the eggs of tho
swamp fly and boil them into paste
and eat them with salt, chill (pepperl
and tortillas. The fly and its eggs are
each sold in the market. The former is
somewhat smaller than the house fly,
while the eggs are about the size and
color of a hayseed In fact, everything
is eaten here that the human stomach
will digest or anything that is capable
of being converted into soup.
