More Encouraging News.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 24.-The food
situation to-day is more encouraging.
Good news continues to pour in, and at
this writing it looks as if the worst
was over. Rescue steamers are an
chored in port with nothing to do. the
work of the citizens committee being
now confined to the care of the
thousands of refugees in the city. The
Mississippi river is falling, the gauge
showing drop of OIL in Is hours.
The sun is shining brightly. and re-
ports from all levee telegraph stations
declare that the land protectors are in
ship-shape. Memphians in consequence
are more cheerful than for weeks.

Still Unassuaged.
MEMPHIS is FILLED WITH REFUGEES.
Relief Boats Extend Their Trips to Re-
mote Localities-Paducah, KY, an
Island - The Northern and
Western Rivers Rising.
Southern River Summary.

ST. Louis, March % .-Advices from
Memphis say the city is filed with des-
titute food refugees. The relief boats
have extended their trips daily. and the
relief committee feels certain that all
human beings in imminent danger
have been removed to the city. Re-
mote localities in Crittenden county,
however. are yet to be covered, and sew
eral families there may be watching
with straining eyes and sinking hearts
for the appearance of rcscurers.
Confidence in the levees on the Ten
nessee and Mississippi side south of
Memphis has increased. This conf
dence is based upon the knowledge
that the water is rushing through new
breaks upon helpless residents of states
across the river.
Australians levee. reported broken,
still holds, but it is becoming soft and
the water is within a foot of the top.
Green Grove. Miss. reports fall of
three inches, "due to a break some
where"
The river at Memphis is stationary,
due, also, to breaks that have allowed
the torrent to spread over bottom land
farms. \ new rise is inevitable.
A strong wind at Vicksburg made
work on the levees difficult but it was
continued.
Train service has been resumed on
several roads in Tennessee and Missis-
sippi.
The Cumberland and Tennessee riv-
ers are causing destruction along their
banks and are pouring mighty torrents
into the Ohio. Paducah is on an island
steadily decreasing in size.
Great suffering is reported from the
Illinois side of the Ohio.

The Northern and Western Rivers

ST. LOUIS, March 24.-The rivers to
the north and west are rising rapidly.
No serious damage has been done thus
far, but the water is approaching the
danger line in many places. Farmers
along the banks of the Illinois. Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi are prepar-
ing to move their families, stock and
household effects.
The dyke at Pekin, H.. is threatened
with destruction. Alton, H., reports
serious situation, owing to the rush
of water from the Illinois and the back
water from the Missouri. The danger
line at Quincy, ILL.,. is at IA feet. The
river is up IL feet and rising.
The outlook is grave along these up
per rivers, and the danger TO southern
points is increased greatly.

ZULU JINRlklSHA MEN.
Head Decorations That Are as Grotesque
as They Are Ingenious.

The Zulu jinrikisha men are COM
PEELED by the English authorities to
wear uniform-a white linen tunic
and loose white trousers cut off above
the knee. They were like children play
ing at horse in the nursery, and they
uttered continuous native gurgllngs,
partly like turtledoves and partly like
the halleluliah CALCULATIONS at one OF our
African Methodist camp meetings. They
all appeared very happy during this
performance, which continued so long
that | calculated the amount of energy
expended to represent about ten miles
Of unpaid travel. Though the body
dress was uniform, there was magnifi-
cent diversity regarding head decora-
ton. One would wear common straw
hat hung around the brim with tassels
suggestive of pagoda, and the chief
delight of the wearer was IN shaking
his head for the pleasure of making the
tassels dance. Another had fastened a
pair of COW horns on either side of his
head Immediately above the ears, and
he grinned at me so effusively that
concluded he must have taken great
pains with the construction OF this
hideous headpiece. The kinky top of q
third had been interlaced with an enor-
nous profusion of long strings of wool.
to which small fluffy balls were at
tached at short intervals.
The head of negro so decorated
looked like huge black mop or one
of those Skye terrier dogs about whom
one is never safe in saying which is the
other end In repose it is uncanny, but
when your jinrilSisha Zulu springs
about in the shafts and throws his head
up and down like colt inpatient OF
the bit the effect upon the newly ar
rived is akin to what | once experienced
when long black log of wood upon
which / proposed to rest myself turned
out to be a huge black snake resting
from his gastronomic exercises. -Poult-

THE LOBSTER TANK.
An Aquarium Exhibit That Many View
With Lively Interest.

There are few tanks at the aquarium
more interesting than that containing
the Holsters The Holsters there now are
not great, like some of the monsters
that have been exhibited, but they are
lively and in good condition, and the
display of their characteristics as they
move about or pause TO eat is almost
startling 10 one unfamiliar with the
lobster in life.
Whoever has picked up live lobster
in market and found the big claws
dropping, as they will if tho lobster
hasn't much life left in him, is sure to
be interested when he sees the lobster
here walking off briskly on his slender
legs, carrying his big claws in front Of
him clear of the ground and his heavy
tail clear likewise. His ordinary man
ner of progression is forward, and when
he turns he swings his heavily weighted
projecting ends with facility, but if he
meets an obstruction or an enemy his
usual way is to dart backward and per-
haps diagonally upward through the
water, which the lobster can do with
great suddenness.
The Holsters feeding apparatus is
wonderful. About the mouth there are
lots of little attachments, all the time
in motion when the lobster is feeding,
which slice the food off in little shreds
as the lobster holds it up to his mouth.
If another lobster should come up, this
lobster would know it, even though the
other came up behind or at the side, and
would turn to defend himself or to fight
or to flee or to warn the other away.
The Holsters long feelers he can pro-
ject one i'll one direction and the other
in another, and with these, as he moves
forward, back or sidewise, he guards
against danger.
There are perhaps dozen Holsters in
| the tank. In the center Of the tank there
is little rock There is likely to be
seen upon this rock little lobster, not
dull, old lobster lying down, but al
alert young lobster standing up and sup
| porting easily his big claws and his
powerful tail--a young lobster ready tC
eat, to fight or to run away. New Yorl

HELEN GOULD VISITS cHAuTAuouA
Donates $4,000 to. Bishop vincent's Pro-
posed Sacred Hall.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 26.-Miss Helen
Gould has been in Chautauqua for sew
eral days. Every effort was made to
guard the fact that the New York heir
ess was at the lake. Miss Gould's visit
to Chautauqua has made one man hap
py That man is Bishop Vincent. For
years he has desired to build what will
be called the Hall Of Christ. Twenty
thousand dollars was the sum necessary
to carry out the plan.
When Miss Gould arrived at the lake
the bishop had $4,000 of the money.
Now he has $4,000, and may begin the
erection Of the Hall of Christ as soon as
he wishes Miss Guold heard Of Bishop
Vincent's wish and learning that the
deficiency was $4,000, she sent a check
to him for that amount She made an
effort to keep the donation from the
press The building will be the finest
on the grounds, and it is to be of marble
1t will be used as gallery of sacred art
and a repository for sacred literature.

of the Malay Coast.

Sailing up the coast in native craft,
you may almost fancy yourself one %
the early explorers skirting the lovely
shores of some undiscovered country
AS you sprawl on the bamboo decking
under the shadow of the immense palm
leaf sail-which is so ingeniously rig
ged that, if taken aback, the boat must
turn turtle, unless, by the blessing of
the gods, the mast parts asunder-yon
look out through half closed eyelids at
a very beautiful coast. The waves
dance and glimmer and shine in the
sunlight, the long stretch of sand is as
yellow as buttercup, and the fringes
of graceful casuarina trees culver like
aspens in the breeze and simmer i'll
the heat haze. The wash of the waves
against the boats side and the ripple OF
the bow make music in your drowsy
ears, and as you glide through cluster
after cluster of thickly wooded islands
you lie in that delightful comatose state
in which you have all the pleasure OF
existence, with none Of the labor Of
living. -"In Court and Kampong, ,"
by Hugh Clifford.

THE ARTISTS PRIVILEGE.
No Phase of life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.

NOT
In defense of his literary methods
Arthur Morrison, the English novelist,
writes in The New Review:
~ have been asked, i'll print, IL /
think that there is no phase of life
which the artist may not touch. Most
certainly think this; more, know It,
1t il the artists privilege to seek his
material where he thinks we'll, and it
is no mans privilege to say him nay.
If the community has left horrible
places and horrible lives before his
ewes. then the fault is that of the COM
munity, and to picture these places and
these lives becomes not merely his priv
ilege. but his duty. 1t was my fate to
encounter place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared In cir
oumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance of living decent lives,
where they were born foredamned to a
criminal or semicriminal career. lt
was my experience to learn the ways OF
this place, to know its inhabitants, to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
For the existence of this place ana
for the evils it engendered the COM
munity was responsible and every
member of the community was and Is
responsible in his degree If had been
a rich man, might have attempted to
discharge my peculiar responsibility IN
one way; if ] had been statesman,
might have tried another. Being neither
of these things but cimple writer OF
fiction, | endeavored to do my duty by
writing "a tale wherein | hoped to bring
the condition of this place within the
comprehension of others. There are
those who say | should have turned
away my eyes and passed by ON the
