WHAT WE OWE SOCIETY.
Above All Things We should Be Agreea

For example, in declining an invita-
ton that we would not under any cir
cumstances accept. are we privileged
to say that we deeply regret that a
previous engagement prevents the
pleasure, etc. When we have been
greatly bored, and have SO expressed
ourselves to various persons in the
company, should we say to the host
and hostess, even If be tbs custom.
that we are indebted to them for a
very delightful evening? Is it quite
the thing, if we have asked our com
panion who that very plain woman
may be, and are presented to her, q
few moments later. by Mr.. Jones IS his
wife, to declare that we had been
wondering who that very pretty
woman was? Does our conscience feel
easy when we remember that after
being compelled to listen to sonata,
very i'll performed, which we pro-
nounced excruciating, we have 1eliber-
ately walked up to the performer and
praised him in superlatives? Is our
equanimity not disturbed a whit when
we say to our friend: Don't introduce
me to that cad!' and the next minute,
while shaking his hand, repeat the
formula: Charmed to meet you'll"
These and numberless other hypoc-
risies and falsehoods are almost the
current coin of social speech. Conse-
quently they are not considered what
they really are, and he.who objects to
them is regarded as over-scrupulous,
severely puritanic. What would you
have US say? some one may ask. Tell
the brutal truth, and be unpardon-
ably rude? If it be urged that rude
ness is preferable to lack of veracity,
it may be claimed that such fictions
really deceive nobody; that society
does not expect anyone to be truth
full, and that no harm is done. If SO,
the admission is sufficiently damaging
to society to give color to what cynics
say of it Is it indeed misera BILE
sham, a mere dance of death, mass
OF corruption under polished surface?
Society is nothing of tho kind here,

and Get UproariousIy Drunk.
A herd of Texas steers literally in,
toxicated on the fermented juice OF
decaying apples is an emergency not
contemplated by the authors Of the
Kansas prohibition law and its several
crucial amendments, yet such a
spectacle was recently witnessed by
the chief of the metropolitan police
force of Fort Scott, and the sheriff of
Bourbon county.

feeder, a few days ago shipped to his
ranch. ten miles northwest of Fort
Scott, herd of wild steers from the
plains of Texas. During their first
night on a Kansas ranch they STAN,
peded through the line fence of their
pasture into an orchard on the All
Cleal ranch. The prolific fruit season
had made it Improbable for Mr.. Cleal
to gather bnt small percentage of bis
early apples, and the encountered trees
had dropped their ripened fruit to the
ground, full three layers deep. The
apples had rotted and were in a state

Until the next morning the beasts glut,

condition of inebricty that caused them
TO conduct themselves with that bois,

Of forbidden Kansas apple jack" The
effect of the fermented apple juice
was as varied on the cattle as, it would
have been on as many men. Some be-.
lowed and contorted in drunken de,

and dangerously vicious, while sons
lay helpless and harmless.
Their demonstrations attracted the
neighbors for miles about and the peo

NATURES FREAKS.
The Devils Pump In California and Mo-

The Devils Pump in California and Mo-
Sweeney's Gun In Ireland,
One of the greatest combinations Of
natural ard artificial curiosities Oh the
coast of California is called the Devils
Pump. The. pholas, or shell miners,
species of mollusk which excavate i'm
mense cayerns in the very hardest
stone, have tunneled the entire coast
in the vicinity Of the pump. Water
,rushes into these9 caverns with each
succeeding tide flow. and in this partic-
ular case finds vent through a cylindri-
cal opening some distance from the
waters edge. 1t is estimated that this
hole, which connects with the sea cav
ern, is seventy-ive to one hundred feet
in depth. Every time the tide rushes
into the cavern beneath, the pump
throws water to the height of full one
hundred feet above the mouth of the
opening. The Indians formerly called
ar by a name which signified fairy
water gum but the irreverent white
men have given it the title of the Dew
lis Pump and by that name it viii he

There is similar curiosity near Horn

tions with submarine cavern. When
the north wind blows and the sea is at

Travellers who have visited Horn Head
