p Plea for B0a8t8z Birds
tTenc ir Topic

bring about a change of affairs by re-
fusing to decorate their person with the
plumage of birds obtained by such cruel
| methods as / have mentioned, and save
! our sweet singing, beautiful birds for
the purpose for which God in his wis
| dom and goodness made them-to give
| delight and pleasure to mankind. lf
| feathers must be used in millinery dec
oration, there remains the wings ana
feathers OF birds and fowl that have to
be used for food. But in my humble
iud gment, it is not necessary. When the
cunning skill of man can initiate and
fashion with such perfection, the flow
ers of the earth, there is no need OF
resort to feathers, wings and bodies OF
birds. Woman can help i'll saving the
dumb creation from suffering and tor
ture by bringing her almost omnipo-
tent powers to bear upon the minds and
hearts of those under her tuition. in
cuicating those teachings of mercy and
kindness and gentleness toward animal
hfe, which the Scriptures and reason
declare to be right and just. Any OBJ
serving person can discover quite an
amount of cruelty TO the lower order of
creatures cropping out among children.
Much of it doubtless is due to Thought
eSsness. But / ann persuaded that with
the numerous examples of this abuse OF
dumb animals constantly before their
eyes. by older persons, we cannot expect
children to be paragons of perfection or
anything approaching it, in the drec-
ton of kindness to animals. In saying
what l have, ! am not unmindful or
what has been done for dumb beasts
by legislative acts and the establish
ment of societies for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals and hospitals for
treatment of the same. ] believe that
the gospel of Christ has done much for
the domestic animals wherever that
gospel has been received. But there is
much more that can be done. | am glad
to notice that law has this year been
enacted by the New York State Legis-
laturee, forbidding the sale Of bird-skins
with plumage attached. Let the good
work go on and every State follow this
example.
There is more to this question of
birds nests. We touch character here.
A man can never be greater than the
spirit that rules and controls him. If
he has the spirit of cruelty, that deter
mines his character. A man who would
wantonly, and with ruthless hand, de-
sUFOy Dlru nest, anu WISch tue HOLhe
of one of Gods creatures, has the spirit
that would wreck any home. | do not
say that he would do it; for men are
often restrained at points by fear of
consequences. But he has the spirit.
One has said: Men cannot be cruel to
birds nests and gentle to children's
cradles As a matter Of fact, they can.
have known men who made practice
of beating their horses and abusing
their cattle until they had to be com
planned of to the authorities: and yet
they were most tender toward their
children, as / had ample opportunity Of
knowing. Still, the statement in its
deepest and broadest meaning is true.
They were, after all, cruel men.

Human Ingenuity.

Certainly, for the mechanic, human
ingenuity has never produced a better
liniment than Salvation (which now
stands unexcelled for curing his sprains
and bruises caused by a fall; or cuts
and wounds the result of an accident
with his tool or saw. Salvation Oil al
ways kills pain. Recently, l fell
about twenty feet and was very much
bruised on my leg and side, but after
bathing them with Salvation Oil the
bruises soon disappeared. l think Sal
walton Oil is just the thing for sores
and bruises" A. Jacob Rice, $40

may be bought anywhere for Is cents.
Substitutes offered by dealers may cost
less; hence, do less. Salvation Oil,
however, never disappoints the user.

HE OWED HIS LIFE TOA CHRIST
IAN SONG.

Henry Drummond tells this beautiful
story which is now going the rounds of
the religious press:
Two Americans who were crossing the
Atlantic ocean, met in the cabin on Sun
day night to sing songs. AS they sung
the last hymn, Jesus, Lover of my
Soul" one of them heard a rich and ex-
ceedingly beautiful voice behind. He
looked around and although he did not
know the face he thought that he knew
the voice, so when the music ceased he
turned and asked the man if he had
not been in the civil war. The man re-
piled that he had been a Confederate
soldier.
"Were you at such place on such a
night?" asked the first.
Yes" he replied, land a curious thing
happened that night which this hymn has
recalled to my mind. l was posted on
sentry duty near the edge of a wood. 1t
was a dark night and very cold, and |
was a little frightened because the enc
my were supposed to be very near. About
midnight, when everything was very still
and | was feeling homesick and misera-
BILE and weary, / thought l would COM
fort myself by praying and singing a
hymn. / remember singing this hymn
"All my trust on Thee is stayed.
All my help from Thee l bring,
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing"
After singing, strange peace came
down upon me, and through the long
night | felt no more fear"
"Now," said the other, ''listen to my
story. I was a Union soldier and was
in the wood that night with a party OF
scouts. / saw you standing, although |
did not see your face. My men had
their rifles focused upon you waiting the
word to fire, but when you sang out
"'Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing
/ said, Boys, lower your rifles, we viii
20 home.'"

A rather prolonged spell of depres-
sion in the real estate market of this
CITY and vicinity, seems now about to
end.
There is healthy tone in the market
now. and all signs continue to indicate
that prices will never again be as low as
at present, while all good judges OF
present and future values say now Is
the time to buy. The strong tide OF
prosperity which is beginning to sweep
over the union, has sent some advance
ripples as far to the southwest as FL
Paso, and conditions are ripe here to
respond to the wave when it strikes us
with full force. which it promises to do
within the next six months. OF course
real estate suffered here during the past
four years. though not as severely, by
a long way as it did in many other cities
in the country. But all that is passed
now. The hard times is over and we
are on basis of permanent solldlty
again. in respect to real estate values
and improvements. Any man of Judge
ment and experience, who will invest
igate the market in this city now. Will
easily become convinced that 1t is at
the lowest ebb it will ever reach. and
that money put into FL Paso realty Will
prove paying investment.

estate and write insurance in this city
are named in the subjoined review:
