The rur,t and. the IrIshman.

Among the Turks employed on the
line Of the first Turkish railway was
an old man who had son who was q
soldier in one Of the regiments in the
garrison ut Rustchuk, whom no had
not seen for good many months.
Each day the regular through train
arrived and left, but the old Turk
never got the chance to run up to
Rustchuk TO see his son, for the train
lust came and went at the very mo-
ment when he was engaged at his mid
day prayer And SO the days and the
weeks passed, and the old man, be-
tween his devotion TO his religious
duties aud his love for his son, was
left lamenting the inconvenient ar
rangement of the railway timetable.
One day he confided his trouble to the
Irish foreman, whose name was Flynn.
"Ah! my friend, you do not know
how sore my heart is. v
well, baba father, what is the
matter with you now?" asked Flynn.
"well, you see," said the old Turk,
''my son, whom you know, is up at
Rustchuk, and / have not seen HIM
for so many months, and his mother
is longing to hear something about
him."
why don't you get leave, then,
and 90 to see him?" said the practical
Irishman.
"How can IL" replied the old man.
Doesn't the train come in and 60
away while am at prayers? Allah
Wills it that I should not see him."
And 80 the time continued to pass,
the old man telling Flynn how his
heart was weary to see his son. II
happened one day that, AZ the train
drew up at tho station, the old mar
was engaged at his devo,ions on his
prayer-carpet close to the line, al
empty truck with the door run back
had stopped just opposite where hi
was on his knees and his forehead te
the ground, and the Irishman came
along. Seized by sudden inspira
ton, he caught up the old Turk
prayer-carpet and all, and landed hin
| in the truck Just rs the train moved
of. Two days after the old man cam'
back by the down train, his face beam
ing with pleasure.
"Ah! my friend" he said, as he saw
Flynn on the platform, "only for yo'
1 should never have seen my son. l
must have been Allah who put it int
your heart TO throw me into the train
Nav he reward YOU for il. "-Harper'

Fever In Plants.

II appears from some curious eX
periments made by Mr.. II. Nj. Rich
ards that when plants are wounded
their respiration increases, and at the
same time their temperature percep-
tibly rises, Us if kind of fever had
been produced by the wound. A
thermo- electric apparatus, capable OF
registering a change of one four-hun-
dredth of degree, was employed.
When potato was wounded, the fever
manifested itself by an elevation OF
temperature which was greatest at the
end of q hours, when it began slowly
TO decline. An onion similarly treated
acquired an increase of temperature
many times greater than that shown
bv the potato, and the fever, instead
of being confined to the neighborhood
of the wound, affected the entire
onion. In fact, the onion proved to
he more readily affected III this way
than any other vegetable expert
mented with. The rise of temperature
is caused by increased absorption OF
oxygen. Youths Companion.

Polar Hears Clever Trick.

For dinner polar bear likes moth
ing better than good, fat young
walrus. But warus is not the
easiest thing to catch, especially II its
mother or father happens to be linger-
ing around in the neighborhood. An
old walrus is more than twice the size
Of n bear and q very hard fighter
when pressed. so Mr.. Bear calls
when the oil d walruses are ont ofsight,
and catches the young walrus as best
he can. Sometimes he crawls up on
a hiah cliff and lies for long time,
peeping over the edges. Presently
the young walrus comes up out OF the
water to bask on rock or cake OF
ice. This is Mr.. Bears chance. He
rolls heavy stone to the edge of the
cliff and tumbles it over. II it strikes
its mark the bear has his dinner ready
whenever he wants to eat it. Few
animals have found a shrewder way OF
killing their prey.

The Cane Penguin.

The cape penguin is very popular at
the Cape of Good Hope aud the Falk-
land Islands. From the extraordinary
sound it produces while on shore it is
called the jackass penguin. Darwin
gives the following interesting account
of this bird: "In diving, it's little

These birds feed their young in a
very singular manner. The parent
bird gets on a hillock, and apparently

lowers its head and opens its beak.
The young one, who has been a patient
auditor, thrusts its head into the oper
beak of the mother and seems to sucl
its subsistence from the throat of the
parent bird. Another speech Is i'm

In Alaska even the dogs are re-
1uired TO wear shoes-at least part OF
the time. II is not on account OF the
cold. for shaggy Eskimo dog will
live and be- risky where a man would
freeze to death The dog does oil OF
the work of dragging and carrying,
which in this country falls to the
horses. and in trotting over the rough
ice of the mountain passes his feet
become bruised and sore. Then his
driver makes him soft little moccasins
ont of buckskin or reindeer skin and
ties them on with stout throngs or
leather. In this way he will travel
easily until his feet are thoroughly
healed M: then he bites and tears his
shoes oil with his sharp, wolf.like
teeth and eats them up!
Wonderful animals are the dogs of
Alaska. Although they are only little
fellows-not more than half the size
of a big Newfoundland-they sell for
ats TO 5000 each, more than an ordi-
nary horse will bring in this country.
They will draw 200 pounds each ON
sled. and they are usually driven IN
teams of six. They neeu no lines 10
guide them, for they readily obey the
sound of their masters voice, turning
or stopping at word.
But the Eskimo dogs have their
faults. Like many boys they are ove'

THE CRIME OF RAPE.

The Warrenton Gazette ahhorlng
as it does the crime Of rape, holds that
Iynching IS justifiable in such cases.
We can we'll appreciate Brother Foote's
feelings and indorse much Of what he
says, bu, We think te should rather
admonish his rcaGeTo against taking
the law in their own hands-unless ii be
found inadequate - meet the ends OF
justice. Then there might be some
Justification fox i.
~, do not let US teach people TO
disregard the laws Of the Land. We
believe it bes, to let the law take It's
course. But The law must be vlf; and
certain in lis application and those
who commit this fiendish crime made
to 50 understand. The Gazette says:
The crime Of rape IS such an awful
one and 50 utterly without excuse he
who commits it IS beast, and should
be removed from this world as speedily
as possible. Therrlzng will not ut
such crime, and even if the people
were sure, and they cannot be, that
the courts would COnvlct and execute
such beasts, we are not sure mat 1t IS
either wise or expedieut TO await Ju-
dIcial trial. The punishment for rape
should be 50 certain, swift and terrible,
horrible if you will, as to deter the
brutes. Our wives and daughters
must be protected at all hazards, and
when they are assalIed, instant death
should be the result. AS a rule, the
men who lynch rapists are calm and
deliberate. They sr. not anarchists,
but they have sense enough to know
that there are some things higher
than law, the highest is female chas-
lIly.
If you were TO see tiger spring
from the undcrbrush and seize your
daughter and carry her off, you would
kill him then and there if you could,
would you not? If you were to see
the human beast do 50 would You not
Kill him? Would you not prefer your
loved ones to be eaten by the natural
tiger than 10 be deflo~ered by the
human one? Do you suppose there Is
virtuous woman that would not rath-
er be torn by wild beast than TO be
dishonored by brutes in human shape?
We have always tried to obey the law
and generally succeeded in the effort,
and we think we obey the best and
highest law when We say death to "a
pists, speedy and sure and without
Judge or jury. No, not without Judge
or Jury but with both, because out,
ragged womanhood and vlrginlty and
purity and outraged manhood make
Judge and jury in such cases. If there

Now are the Southern men to be
denounced for dealing with the brute as
the beast of prey he is? Is he entitled to
the laws delay and bubbles and hair

cent wOman's wrongs be doubled by a
public trial? Must she be twice outraged?
Do not Southern men show fOrbearance
in not discriminating the whole vicious
horde from which the rapidly increasing
swarm of rapists are recruited? Would
they be transSressing the bounds OF
righteous wrath in dealing summarily
with the large number of negroes who

by the commission of a crime which a
man cannot commit, thereby relinquishes
the right to be dealt with as man.

leaders exert against rape, against the
lasciviOus eyeings of white women by
negro men. the same influence Omni pO-

if it will, control him in the thicket.
When all sympathy with such mis-
creants is withdrawn their numbers will
decrease, and as the number of such
crimes decrease the public danger and
pari passu, the public alarm, will subsde.
Sporadic cases of rape will be dealt with
according to law. AS long as rape
remains epidemic, as it now unques-
tionably is, it will be dealt with as cpl
denies moral or physical perforce must
