The Circus Kitchen.

AT five minutes past 4 shout from
the crowd indicates the approach of the
three huge cook wagons, each weighing
20 tons and drawn by six horses From
the first of them rise three chimneys,
out of which black smoke is pouring.
This wagon carries the 10 foot cooking
range whore fires were started the mo-
ment the wagon was unloaded from the
train. Already, while rolling toward the
circus grounds, the ten cooks have been
making active preparations for the break
fast which must be served within two
hours to 700 hungry people.
When the three wagons have drawn
up on the site of the still unraised cook
tent, three butchers with heavy cleavers
at once begin work upon tho sides of
beef, legs of mutton and loins of pork
600 pounds in ALL that must forthwith
be changed into steaming steaks, chops
and outlets. A boiler is set up and
steam pipes are connected from it with
tho big urn which must furnish 1000
cups of coffee shortly, and with the
warming pans ON the tables where the
meats are served. While this is doing by
one set Of men, others are raising the
tent, building IL long tables and unpack-
ing 20 large green boxes that contain
5000 dishes and countless kitchen uten-
sils Mcclure Magazine.

Rnhert Cnllxer.s Father.

And now about my father, writes the
Rev. Robert Collyer, d. D., in The La
dies Home Journal / think still he
was as good smith as / have ever
known, man who would forge no lie
in iron Or steel, with soft, steadfast
brown eyes, strong and sinewy arms to
labor and never sick day can re-
member, always at his work until he
fell dead that day with the hammer in
his hand. Blacksmiths, think, are usu-
ally silent men. The old Beechers were,
as have heard, who were Of this craft,
silent men who left the pent up speech to
their sons and grandsons. This was my
father also. He was silent man, while
both father and mother were as free
from contagious and infections as the
sound oaks arc and the stars, SO that the
microbes, when they came in tho dread
full form of fevers, found nothing in
them for prey.

EueIlsh rrampy and Their babies.

On arriving at York we went at once
to Warmgate, tho kiphouse district, and
picked out the filthiest one we could find.

Each moocher had his July (wife), and
each little kid had his little Moll isis
teri These children are the very off
spring Of the road, and they remind me
very much Of monkeys. Yet one has to
feel sorry for them, since they did not
ask for life and yet are compelled to see
it's meanest and dirtiest side. Their moth
ers love them, when they are not drunk,
and when they are their fathers have to
play mothers, if they are not drunk
themselves. Never in my life have /
seen more serio comic situation than
In that York kiphouse, where two tramps
were rocking their babies to sleep.

voice ringing out clearly through the
still air. "You have tracked me up here
you, n hundred against one man. Yet,
even now, you should not have taken
me calmly thus, even though l stand
alone--you should not have taken me
thus, but for the little one. +"
He glanced up for moment at the
baby on his shoulder and drew one lit
tie hand down to his lips, and then faced
the soldiery again, speaking directly for
the first time to the old officer:
"You are brave man, captain, " he
added almost appeahngly, land such
men do not make war on infants. What
do you do with the little one, my cap
tain?''
The captain shrugged his shoulders.
1.-THE child is nothing, Andreano," he
said sternly. "She may die with you. "
With bound the bandit had sprung
back from them, and in an instant the
child was off his shoulder and behind
him, and he knelt there with his car
bine leveled, fercely facing them.
BEASTS p he cried 81 come to you
under the white flag, we'll knowing that
must die, and asking nothing for my
self. l crave only that you should spare
the innocent little one. Know this, then,
since you will not--I will kill the child
rather than she shall fall beneath your
murderous blows, and will die such Il
death as few men have died, with q
dozen coward souls to bear mine own to

He lnelt there quite calmly, with his
carbine leveled and with the child
thrust behind him. But the old captain
had stepped forward and raised his hand.
Stop, Andreanop' he cried. "You
are right We make not war on babes.
This hunting down Of one man is but
little to my liking, and I will not foul
it more The child is safe.
The man rose and laid down his car
bine and took up the child again.
'And the little one shall owith you
down into the valley in safety?" he
asked slowly.

then moved quickly toward the captain,

gravely. "And now you are to shoot

"Such are our orders, Andreano.
The other shrugged his shoulders.
$50 be it, he said softly, "only cover

The captain passed tho child into the
hands of tho little soldier of the swarthy
face, mud they took it quickly out Of his
sight. Then came an order rapidly given
and another; volley rang out startling
the echoes ON those lonely hills for a
moment; there was half sobbing cry
and Andreano's course was run.

Government Cigarette Works, Seville, EN-
pIoy 1000 Women and Girls.
One of the sights of Seville which no
tourist misses is the cigarette factory,
in which the government employs near
ly 1900 women and girls. The showing
about Of visitors is accordingly looked
upon us n regular source of income by
the porter and natrons. After getting
permission to enter you are placed in
charge of matron, who shows you
through her own department and then
passes you ON to another, and so on, UNI
til Your stock of pesetas and half pesetas,
put aside for fees, is exhausted.
These matrons accompany the visitors,
not in order to prevent the girls from
flirting with them-nothing could do
that--but TO 500 that no tobacco, pioa-
dura or cigarettes may disappear. Be-
fore entering each room Il bell is rung
to warn the girls, who are in great dis
habillo on account of the sun, to put on
their wrappers, and as the door opens
scores of round arms and pretty shoul-
ders are seen disappearing, while several
hundred pairs Of coal black eyes are
fastened on you.
The passages arc lined with cradles,
and the young girl mothers to whom
they belong implore you with eyes and
hands for penny for the Murillos of
the future lying in them. These girls
are more frank than subtle in their fir
tations. There isnot one in the crowd
who will not be Immediately conscious
of mans gaze fixed on her, nor will
she be the first to turn her eyes away.

They are merry lot on tho whole,
these poor girls, the quickest of whom
mako only shillings day, for which
they have to toll 10 to 10 hours. They
are allowed to smoke If they wish, and
they make use Of this privilege. They
are remarkably deft at rolling the cigar
cites, but not all seem eager to make MS
many as possible, for some are idling
and others are asleep, but no one cares,
as each one is paid according to the
number she twists up, aided only by a
piece of specially made cartridge paper
and small tin affair on her little finger.

A Poor Likeness.

Here is good story illustrative Of tho
prosaio nature ON which art makes no
impression:
In Westminster abbey there is large
marble tablet in memory of q famous
bishop. 1t is u basrelief, representing
the bishop--a portrait-in the agony of
death, sinking into the arms Of an al
legorical female figure, presumably in
tended for the angel of death.
It is said that an aged couple from the
country were being shown round the
abbey, and pausing long before the tab
let the old lady remarked to her hus-
band:
"That's good likness Of the bishop,
but, " regarding the angelic parsonage
attentively, otis a very poor one of Mrs.

live. " 81 don't get mellow tempered

Things that require steady labor, he
writes to the same correspondent, there

to be done with a slow step and bent

trying to beat our brother coal beavers,

which require genius to do are done

THE "oevIL's Moose.D
A Gigantic Flesh Eating Plant That Is
Found In Nicaragua.

Carnivorous plants are certainly
world Tho poetical and religious Lin
nBus, who had occasion to study the fly
catching peony, found, in his astonish-
ment, no other name to bestow upon it
than this-Miraculum nature prodigy
of nature). Since the illustrious Swedish
botanist, the mechanism of carnivorous
plants has been well studied, and par
ticularly by Darwin, who has devoted to
these plants remarkable work. They
are usually of small dimensions, and do
not attain the size of one described in
the "Bolletino del Naturalist. :"
NJ. Fabiano Carlo tells there of n gil
gantic carnivorous plant that has been
discovered on the shores of Lake Mica
ragua by naturalist named Dunstan
He discovered this curious plant in the
following manner: Travelling with his
dog he heard the animal give vent to
cries of pain. He advanced and found
his dog held by three black, sticky bands,
under which the skin was ehafed till it
bled. These bands were the branches of
a new carnivorous plant, which Dunstan
calls the land octopus" The branches
are flexible, polished, black, without
leaves, secreting viscous fluid and fur
nished with great number of suckers
by which they attach themselves to their
victims. 1t might almost be believed to
be an octopus transformed into plant
To extricate his dog Dunstan tried to
cut the branches, and succeeded, though
not without difficulty, and after having
his hands severely injured by the ten
tacles of the "land octopus. AS may
be realized, observations under these con-
ditions were not convenient to make,
and the naturalist was able to get few
facts concerning this odd plant. He
proved the presence of numerous suckers,
and found that the fetid odor of the
black sticky fluid that covers the branch
es serves to attract prey TO tho plant. He
also was able to note similarity of char
acter with other carnivorous plants.
For instance, the "land octopus" aban-
dons its prey after having sucked out the
nutritiye elements. Tho natives of Cen
trail America call this singular plant by
the appropriate name of "the DEVILS

AGAIN the enemies of Terrific
rial legislation have triumphed by
the refusal of the senate commit
tee to attach the Morgan amend
msnt to the bill for Indian appro-
priations. The reason given for
this action seems quite unsatis-
factory, and to say the least, is
evasive of the real and prompting
cause, the Indian lobby and the
threats of the Paris and Fort
Smith pap suckers. 1t is the
veriest rot to contend that in Civ
ing TO the Territory courts full
and exclusive jurisdiction ovel
all offenses committed against the
laws of the government within it
bounds, would be to violate the
Indian treaties. To urge such oQ
position is a sham on its very
face unworthy, the intelligence
of a body of national law-mak
ers. The friends of such legis
lation have not, we are proud Il
