Dunk, the big elephant that is one OF the
attractions at the Zoo, relieved the monot-
ony OF things Sunday afternoon by freeing
himself and wandering about the park for
short time. Recently Dunk. representing
nearly 10000 pounds of elephantine bulk,
has been chained, in company with OUCH

of New York, on the banks OF Rock creek.
down by the buffalo pens. About 4 o'clock
sunday afternoon Mr. Dunk. who is de-
spite MS great size, quite a gentle beast
pulled up stakes and very ungallantly left
MS companion. Keeper Charles Lewis at
once gave the alarm, and while one of the
attendants armed himself with a rife for
use in case Of emergency, Superintendent
Blackburn endeavored to induce Dunk to
return to the Enclosure by placing several
bushels of oats beside Duchesse who was
Iouuiy crying because of her desertion
DUNK soon repented his ungallant conduct
and, after enjoying himself by demolishinR
several trees, returned to the Enclosure and
meekly submitted to the additional chains
which Mr.. Blackburn quickly placed on his
huge feet.

And today this is being aroused as new
er before The impious reply of Cain to
the demand of God regarding the wei.
fare of his brother, Il know not; am I
my brothers keeper?' will no longer
suffice. Conscious existence is not ma.
terial. 1t belongs to another realm.
Thought is from an exterior source and
varies i'll power as related to that great
Oversoul that is all and in all. This is
the foundation and origin of the diyin-
ity OF man. This is why the brother
hood of man is true, and this is why
the curse OF almighty power will fol-
low the man or the nation that refuses

The first and greatest demand of
mans nature is to be free, the second is
opportunity to better his condition.
Freedom and opportunity make possible
the enlightened pursuit Of happiness,
and happiness is, after all, the aim and
object OF all men. One may seek it in
one direction and another in another.

thief steals in the belief that he can in
that way add to the sum of his enjoy.
ment, the enlightened philanthropist
spends his life in the endeavor to assist
and befriend for the reason chiefly that
otherwise he would be unhappy. Be-
tween these two may be found every
shade Of opinion and manner of life,
and yet the motive of all is in essence
the same. To state this proposition is
to prove it to the reflective mind. Man

God asks no man to do an impossible
thing, and wherever nature commands
she has made the way of obedience
clear. With freedom and opportunity
men are able to work out their own sal
walton; that is, they are able to follow
out the law of being, which is the law
OF advance. In this both revelation and
evolution agree. Without freedom and
opportunity nan is made miserable and
rendered incapable of following this
law. He can no longer advance. The
enlightened pursuit of happiness is i'm
possible. In slavery or under despotism
men are degraded. In freedom alone is

men have from nature-from God-an
absolute natural right to freedom and
opportunity Freedom necessitates the
absence Of CALLING and injurious con-
troll. 1t establishes among men an equal
ity of natural right to the gifts Of a
common Father. And by the law of free
dom whatever gifts of external nature
have been l.'ovided for the use of man
descend, like the rain and sunshine, up-
On all alike. To hold the contrary is to
sontend that some are brought into the
world beholLen to their brothers for the
right to live.
The right to the soil is mans first

Our HOSPITAL SHIPS.
The Floating Ambuiances on Which Wo-
men Are Angels of Mercy.

| hstt NAat <.hsct' VI HAthtys
Ambulance, or hospital, ships are now
q part of the United States navy, as they
are also of other navies. Superior as are
the facilities for caring for the wounded
on our war vessels, there are various
circumstances that tend to retard or
prevent recovery. Up to the present
time the quarters for the sick and
wounded aboard warship have prac-
tically occupied space in the bow,
where the cracking of the chain is heard
increasingly and the swaying motion of
the vessel is more keenly felt than any
where else. This operated against the
recovery of the patients to such an ex.
tent that Surgeon General Van Reypen
remarked that there would be 90 per
than if the patients had remained on
the war vessels.
The hospital ship Relief, one of sew
eral such attached to the navy, left
New York recently for Santiago with
full complement of nurses and all the
other requisites for the service in which
she will be engaged. The vessel flies
the Red Cross flag, with the stars and
stripes just little below. No land hos
pital has finer equipment than the Re-
lief. She is provided with all the APP
planes of modern surgery-operating
tables, antiseptics and the most recent
and approved instruments. In the GEN.
ter of each hospital ward is large bath
tub, which can be inclosed in q canvas
pnrfa i'm w hon m ne A ,NiyA
along the large standing pipe, from
which the water flows, and by peculiar
arrangement Of valves hot water can be
obtained at any time by merely turning
q valve.
Even more interesting than the ship
are the seven brave women who were
appointed by Surgeon General Stern
berg to accompany her in the capacity
of nurses. They are Mrs. Ellen NJ Gil
len and Mrs. Mary A. Birchfield of
Washington, Miss Elsie III. Lampe and
Miss Louisa Jones Block of New York
and Miss Amy Blanche Farquharsen,
Miss Lucy Ashbysharpe and Amanda ].
Armistead of Baltimore
When seen just previous to sailing,
all these ladies appeared to be delighted
that they had been appointed to such
arduous duties. They spoke as if they
thought they had been specially favored
in being permitted to serve their coun-
try and attend to the wounded who had
been fighting its battles
Though they were all brimful Of en-
thusiasm and eager to engage in their
duties, they yet displayed their fem
mime instincts by taking with them
more clothing and articles of bric-a. brac
than could be well disposed of in their
little staterooms.

The Wife of the Heroic Cuban Leader

ciationl
No woman in the Cuban colony in
New York is better known or more
popular than Mrs. Calixto Garcia, the
wife of that dauntless Cuban general
whose name has been so prominently
mentioned of late in connection with
the landing of the American troops at
Baiquiri.
Mrs. Garcia is tall and of imposing
presence, and, though still a handsome
woman, her expressive face shows
traces Of her severe experiences as the
wife of soldier who has passed through
a greater number of vicissitudes than
ordinarily fall to the lot of such, Like
most Cuban women, Mrs. Garcia is do
nestle in her tastes, devotes herself to
her children and waits anxiously for
the day, now seemingly near at hand,
when Cuba shall be free and her hus-
band restored to his home and family.
She married General Garcia when II
years old, and when the war broke out
in Cuba in 1868 she had three chill
dren, the eldest being then years. The
Garcia family group at that time COM

Conveniences Which Tighten the Work
OF Sweeping Day.
In ye olden time when cleaning day
came round the maid tied her apron or
a duster round the broom and swept
diligently till the cloth came off and
readJustment was necessary. This was
usually made with muttered grumblings
about 1.-THE tiresome old thing" and by
the time the grumblings were over the
cloth was retied, the sweeping again
commenced and was continued till all
was again loose and the tying had to be
repeated.
The broom cover does away with all
this difficulty. 1t washes admirably, can
be made singly or in sets of 2, 4, or
IL, according to the probabilities Of
changing required, and is equally desir-
able for walls or polished floors, which
1T sweeps much more easily than does
the uncovered broom. 1t forms a most
useful gift from thrifty housekeeper to
herself or to a friend.
There is so little work that the de.
scription takes almost as long as the &C.
tual making. The proper material is the
fuzziest canton flannel which can be
found. The shape is plain bag, with
drawstrings at top and double ruffle let
in at the bottom.
The bag part is cut 90 inches wide
by 20 inches deep, the ruff1e 9 inches

completed, the cover is IL inches wide
