Pat Wouldn't BE Cheated.

A Well-knOwn scientist. walking
along London street. came across an
itinerant astronomer. and applying his
eye to the instrument was astonished to
see a beautiful full moon, although at
the time the moon was only in her sec
ond quarter. The instrument was not q
telescope at all, but simply tube, with
a hole where the eye-piece should be
and a transparent photograph of full
moon with light behind it at the other
end. On the scientist asking the eXhib
itor how he could SO cheat the public the
man simply remarked: It's all right,
sir | used to have proper scope once
but | turned it up for this after an Irish
man pitched into me for showing him
only arr 4 moon. This way pays better
and gives more satisfaction.

HOW ABOUT THIS. MP. BUNNER2

An Englishman Says that He Designed
The Best American Poster"
But" asked the interviewer OF Mr..
A. Morrow, the English poster designer,
who had been discoursing enthusiastic
ally on the developments of his art, do
you think that we in England can COM
pete with the Americans in this re-
spect,'s says the Pail Mall Gazette.
IF you really insist upon an opin-
ion" said Mr.. Morrow, 4 could give
you one. But | would much rather
not"
But why?"
well, l have sort Of personal asso-
citation with the American poster which
makes it rather difficult for me to pre-
serve a proper impartiality.
How is that?''
well, month or two ago an Ameri
can magazine published a finely illus
trated article on the American poster.
It pointed out how highly the art of the
poster has developed in America; il
gave a number of examples of Ameri-
can poster work, new and old, and it
picked out from among them enc which
it said was an eXquisitely clever and
amusing design, that would take the
blue ribbon, judged by the points OF
artistic poster making"
Indeed, Which was it,"
ut was the poster for the play of The
New Woman, when that piece was put
on at Palmer's theater. New York. 1t
was drawn the article said, by Mr. Rob
ert Joste'
Well Where does the personal IN
terest come in that prevents your eX-
pressing an opinion Did you write
the article?"
NO, but | designed the poster"
Il thought you said it was drawn by
Mr.. Robert Joste?"
The magazine said so. | only know
that it was my design, my drawing, and
nay poster. | made the design when
Mr. Comyns Carr produced The New
Woman at the Comedy theater in Lon
don. The poster was printed in Eng
land and exhibited on the boardings
throughout the run OF the play in Lon
don and the provinces. 50 you see
am rather interested TO hear that it was
drawn by Robert Josie. and as it takes
the blue ribbon of American poster
making me feel some diffidence i'll an

INDIA'S FATHER DAMIEN.
Work Among the Lepers That Has AL
ready Produced Good Results.

Work Among the Lepers That Has Al
ready Produced Good Results.
Valuable work is being done by de-
voted Catholic priests among the lepers
OF Burman, says the London Times.
The annexation of Upper Burmah in
1886 revealed n terrible need for succOr
to this unhappy class. Bishop Simon,
r. c., addressed the officials on the
subject within two years after the coun-
try passed under British rule but it
was not until 1891 that Father Johann
Wehinger was able to found the st.
Johns Leper asylum on grant of six
acres near Mandalay.
In Burmah lepers are not forbidden to
frequent public places and are not sep
Grated from their families. as in India
They lie at the gates Of the temples, in
the food baZars and on the sides of the
bridges. where they expose their hid
eously mutilated limbs to excite COM
passion and obtain aims. An asylum
foT these miserable objects was hailed
with gratitude. In two days after it
was opened the wards were crowded
and new buildings had to be COM
menced
Father Wehinger has made the insti-
tuition a model for all leper asylums-
with n perfect system of hygiene and
measures for the alienation or even
curative treatment Of the disease. sep
arate wards for the unaffected children
of leprous parents and Il yernacular
school for their education. During last
year 600 lepers We're on the rolls and
the demand for fresh wards grew ur-
gent. Father Wchinger came to the
end of his resources. All that self
denial and devotion could achieve he
has accomplished.
He is now. we believe. in England,
seeking aid to enable him to go on with
hi work. II is work which can most
effectively be done by celibate breth-
rcn, without the responsibility of wife
or possible children TO whom the dis
ease might be communicated Johann
Wehinger is the Father Damien of
India.

All visitors from this country to the
festivities of the Baltic ship canal may
cast Il look about the country there.
Agriculture there is at the highest
point. Woodlands abound from the
tiny seedlings to ten and twenty year
old trees-mOstly pines. Lakes and
rivers are unpolluted but full of fish
and one can get swarm by dipping
a basket under the water and then
drawing it up suddenly when they
swim over it. There the storks build
nests of immense size on the roofs. in
city and country. Swallows every.
where are seen on the buildings, their
nests stone-hard and are used by many
generations of them, one built over the

ONE SERIOUS EFFECT.

or the Recent Republican Victory in tho
Commonw ealth of Kentucky.
1t was somewhat early in the morning
when the Washington Star reporter
dropped into the wet-goods department
OF a popular downtown hotel, where
there is always TO be found a southern
contingent-in the hotel. not the W.
q. department-and standing at the
counter there he saw a well-known
kentuckian of the older school. 1t was
about ten days after the election news
had been received from Kentucky, and
the Kentuckian's brow was not crown
ed with sunlight or laurels. On the con-
trary. il was swathed in heavy gray
clouds. Ii may be explained here that
the reporter was not in that locality
after a drink, but after a man who was
after a drink. As he stood talking to
him. his attention was attracted by the
Kentuckian's talk to the barkeeper, who
had showed a well-worn black bottle
out in front of his customer.
Take it away" said the Kentuck-
ian, gloomily, with funereal wave of
his hand.
Whats the matter with it?" asked
the surprised barkeeper. It's the
same Kentucky brand you've been
using for years.
Il know it," he said, regretfully,
but ever since Kentucky went repub
lican it doesn't seem to taste natural,
and I've got to try something else.
Suppose you give NE a little of that
Maryland rye"
Certainly. sir" said the barkeeper,
deferentially. and turned TO get it, but
stopped half way.
Excuse me, sir" he ventured but
didn't Maryland &c that way, too"
The Kentuckian thrummed on the
counter with his knuckles neryously.
That so, that's so" he unused; then
he broke out fiercely: u wonder if I've
got to drink water" nd walked out of
the place Indignantly.

We know what we ask our friends
