says the Youths Companion.
From the moment when the destruc-
tion of the town was menaeed by the
rapidly advancing wave Of fame, he
ceased to think Of himself and devoted
all his energies Of mind and body to the
protection and rescue of others.
He went from house to house, warn
ing the inmates of their peril, and beg
ging them to take refuge in sand pits
where there was water. While panic
stricken men were harnessing horses
and frantically seeking to escape into
the burning woods, he was calm and
collected, reassuring everyone whom
he met, yet pointing out the only
chance of safety.
He led one group after another to the
sandpits when they were beside them
selves from fear and excitement. When
one place of refuge was overcrowded
he found another, and begged the strag-
glers to follow him.
The woods were flaming on every
side, and the refugees standing in the
water felt in their faces the scorching
breath of the storm of fire. The good
priest had words of encouragement for
all. He held children in his arms; he
supported fainting women when they
were falling from fright and fatigue;
he put the stoutest-hearted man to
shame by his GOODNESS, cheerfulness and
energy.
With his hat he poured water on the
heads of women and children in that
fiery furnace. He took the coat from
his back and tore it in half. One frag-
ment he dipped in water and bandaged
the forehead of woman with child
elinging to her. The other half he
wound around the heads of two help
less children whose faces were scorched
with the heat of the burning forest.
Bareheaded and in shirt-sleeves he
stood among the dying and ministered
to them while he had strength to
stand, eyes to see and voice to utter
words of comfort and hope His was
the spirit of self-saerifice and Of minis
try to the needy, and whether shown
in Catholic'or in Protestant it is worthy
of high commentator.
The fight of the train through the
burning forest was the more stirring
story in print, but what could have
been nobler or more heroic than this
devoted mans work among his flockl
There were deeds Of valor and chiy-
airy before the walls of Zutphen in
4 Flanders, but one act of self-sacrifice
alone is remembered. Sir Philip Sid
ney, wounded, dying and burning with
thirst, put away from his own lips the
bottle of water which had been brought
to him in his agony and gave it to a
common soldier covered with gore who
had glanced at him wistfully,

THE NEGRO VOICE.


1t Is Not Adapted to the Singing Of White
Mans Music.
Owing to personal idiosyncrasies the
vocal apparatus of the negro differs
from that of the white man. The arch
of the roof of the mouth, the nasal
sounding board of the colored man, has
another conformation. If true col
ored man were to paint his face like
white mans and sing an English, ltal-
ian or German aria it is his voice which
would at once give him away, says an
exchange. The initiative faculty is,
however, very strong in the negro So
he cannot help himself in following the
white mans music and the white mans
words. The true, pure African song is
probably the ''Juba."
1t is hardly song, but chant,
abounding in spoken words. AS to
rhythm, the native negro, or the one
born in the United States, has that to
marked degree. If now and then
there has been an occasional negro
vocalist of merit since their period of
freedom, why has there not been an in
strumentalistP The reason is plain. To
have a fine voice is an accident of
nature. To play an instrument well,
so as to gain a reputation as violinist
or pianist, means, in addition to natural
talent, to devote to the violin or piano
many years of study. The race instinct
in the negro does not incline toward
persistency of purpose. With rhythm
alone, as Wallaschek shows, primitive
music began.

when it occurs treatment should be

where the trouble will end; and while
complete recovery is the rule, eXcep-
