Human Monstrosity.

The last edition of the Weekly Star,
of Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, con.
tains an account of a human monstros.
ity, which was born in Koloa. The
freak was of japanese parentage and
was q male. It had no tongue, but
something like tusk projected In
front. in the lower jaw. 1t had seven
fingers on the left hand, eight on the
right and seven toes on each foot. It
was impossible for the infant to take
nourishment except when fed through
a rubber tube thrust down its throat.
The parents consented to have it
baptized by priest. The last words
of>the service had scarcely been ut7
tered when the freak expired.

The Spirit of Self.Surrender.

There are few temptations more common
to ardent spirits than that which leads them
to repine at the lot in which they are :ast,
believing that in some other situation they
could serve God better. If each such man
had the spirit Of self-surrender, the spirit
of the cross, it would not matter to him
whether he were dong the work of the
handspring or one Of the inferior parts. 1t
is his duty to try and be himself, simply to
try to do his own duty.-F. W. Robertson.

ONE-SIDED AFFAIR.
Western Roads Compelled to Meet
the 500 Cuts Alone.

CHICAGO, March SIT turns out that the
agreement reached by the roads in the Joint
association regarding the 500 line cut in rates
is a very sided affair The Joint Traffic
roads have graciously conceded to their West
connections the right of meeting the
cuts and having them shown in the joint rate
sheets, built on the distinct understanding
that the Western roads absorb all the cuts
themselves. This agreement is but a ratfhca-
ton of the policy pursued by the board of
managers of the association, since it's organ
ization, which has been under no circum-
stances to allow the meeting Of competition
by the cutting of rates so far as their own
lines are concerned.
At the monthly meeting Of the central pas
senger committee which has just closed, it
was decided to change the name of the or
ganization and it will hereafter be known as
