The Mecca" Of the American Begzar.
Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.


Ten per cent. of all the human beings
who die in New York City are buried in
Potter's Field at public expense; but the
records of organized charity official and
semi-Official, show that less than one per
cent. of the living are paupers or depend
ent persons. There are two explanations
of the difference Between the number OF
living poor. and penniless dead. The
chief one is that abuse OF public charity
has grown to such proportions, that the
city has become the Mecca of the chronic
idlers and tramps of the entire country.
1t is easier for an industrious and shrewd
professional beggar to live in luxury in
New York than, to exist in any other city
in the world, No magic wand OF ancient
fable was ever more potent to unlock the
gates of castle or prison than the name OF
charity is to open a way to the public
treasury. The liberal and well-nigh in
discriminate giving OF the money Of the
taxpayers for the relief of sickness and
poverty has been commanded by law.
sanctioned by custom, and approved by
public opinion until the possibility OF
checking or reforming the abuse grows
more and more remote as the burden IN
creases and the evil results multiply.
The City OF New York gives annually to
public charity more than $1,000, 900, and
contributes indirectly 2,G00, 600 more. OF
the money raised by taxation for city
purposes proper state taxes, interest,
and County expenses eliminated), almost
~ per cent is properly chargeable to re-
lief of poverty and sickness. OF this ex-
penditure more than So ,000, GOO is paid to
private institutions and societies over
which the city authorities have no control
or supervision.

How Louisiana Was Purchased.
Self Culture.

On April 1s, 1902, President Jefferson
wrote to Livingston, our Minister to
France, that there was one spot on the
face OF the earth so important to the
United States that whoever held it was
for that reason naturally and forever our
enemy, and that spot was New Orleans.
Again he wrote to Livingstone: "The day
that France takes possession of New
Orleans fixes the sentence which is to
restrain her forever within her lOw-water
mark. 1t seals the union of two nations
which, in conjunction, can maintain ex-
elusive possession of the ocean. From
that moment we must marry ourselves
to the British fleet and nation" These
were the words of one of the most pro-
nounced lovers of France and haters of
all things British in the country. He de-
termined to buy the Island of New Orleans
and the FlOridas, and instructed Living
ston accordingly; in addition. he bade our
Minister negotiate also for all of Louisiana
north of the Arkansas River.
Bonaparte placed the negotiation in
the hands of Marbois, his Minister of FL

beauty of tropic nights. Dark, murmur-
ing forests waited mysterious messages
which fancy interpreted so as to delight
itself; even desert wastes, as they always
do for those who have vision and faculty,
spread their broad, changeful scenes of
silent, solitary loveliness or grandeur
around.
One evening when wild elephant spoor
had been reported, and an unusual chorus
of panther screenings during the previous
night excited hopes that we might soon
begin hunting in earnest, two of our party
happened to stroll out beyond the picket
lines. Lingering near a ciump of karinda
brush that stood close by, we heard curious
sounds produced by hammering, and fierce
though subdued vociferationS from some
human voice. Stealing softly up, care
fully parting the foliage, and looking into a
small sylvan dell, there sat Khudeck-
Bunwaree, one of our most reliable track

pecal idol. He always kept this manni-

yourselves might have attended to with
satisfactory results. Our humility pre-
vented us from believing that We could
transform the thoughts of savage into
enlightened theological views off hand; so
both of us made away without being dis
covered, and shortly after sent for the
sinner, who soon appeared, not looking
like one that had just committed sacri-
lege. How is this, Khudeck?' said Sey-
mour, with stern countenance. What

to see nothing except two great staring
eyes glaring before an indistinct yellow

for we had fresh guns by now, and at that
