Confederate objects, and many of them
would not have had it otherwise. They
have taken care OF the graves Of their
dead for many years, and can continue
to do so during the little time that is
now left them: and, when the children
in their own schools are taught that
they are "rebels," and traitors" it
makes no difference to them now their
enemies treat their sympathies and
memories. To them their glorious vic

soon be all the same, but there isn't one
of them who, under like conditions,
wouldn't do now as he did in the war
between the States, the hardships Of
which tried both his body and his soul.

Of any intelligent man who has read
the testimony in the embalmed beef
case, that that beet was not proper

the men responsible for the use of that

From Welsh to Spanish.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. AS result,
in 1865 a colony Of prosecuted Welsh
miners fled from the. British tyranny
and settled in the deserts of Patagonia
These men were heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in a desert where not plant would
grow, where the water was brackish
and the heat intolerable. They were
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savages and made them warm friends:
they were ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens.
Through long years of want and
famine they never despaired. They
have turned the desert into a beautiful
fertile country, have become rich. num-
Der 1000 people, have extended their
string of settlements right across South
America, own a paying railway and
ship large crops Of wheat. wool. ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyranny
of the English language and now, rather
than talk Welsh, they converse largely
of their freedom in excellent Spanish

THE EVILS OF FILTRATION.

Those Who Engage In 1t Grow Inca
pable of Steadfast, Enduring Love.
"In Irritation there is the same dis
sipated element of excitement SO be-
quilting in gambling-uncertainty-in
fact, we might add to the dictionary
definition a still later one, TO firt,
gambling in hearts," writes Frances
Evans, "About Men," in The Ladies'
Home Journal
1.-THE dirt, like the gambler, feeds
upon the intoxication of his passions
In few years he becomes incapable Of
steadfast, enduring love, that feeling
which in civilized man is separated
from the love of the barbarian by the
element of ideality, of spiritual sympa-
thy as distinct from merely the attrac-
ton of brute nature. The open minded,
open souled, manly man Is apt to ex-
press himself in abrupt praise Of what
he likes, but the firt knows better than
to take the edge off of compliment by
giving it publicity. The firt is invaria
bly, confidential in his manner. A hirt
becomes INSCRIPTIONS in his relations
with women, no matter how high a
code of honor he may abide by in other
matters. His conscience is calloused On
one side beyond remedy. There is no
germ which develops more rapidly than
the firtatious bacteria.
Given young man OF woman whose
pride is wounded more deeply than his
or her love by member Of the opposite
sex, then, if there be slight firtatious
tendency to begin with, it will be but
overnight before the weed has grown
to surprising proportions, choking out
conscience and kindness while 1t sup
ports and strengthens vanity, which
stands close by wounded affections in
the human heart. "

Famous Laughing Plant of Arabia.

The seeds Of the laughing plant OF
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons as laughing gas. The plant at
tains height of from two to four feet,
with woody stems, widespreading
branches and bright green foliage. Its
fruits are produced in clusters and are
of a yellow color. The seed pods are
soft and woolly in texture and contain
two or three black seeds of the size Of
Brazilian bean. Their flavor is a little
like opium, and their taste is sweet ;
the odor from them produces sicken-
ing sensation and is slightly offensive.
The seeds, when pulverized and taken
in small quantities, have peculiar
effect upon man. He begins to laugh
loudly, boisterously; then he sings,
dances and cuts all manner of fantastic
capers. Such extravaganza of gait and
manners was never produced by any
other kind of dosing.-Ladies' Home

Would Have Done the Same,

Rudyard Kipling undoubtedly got his
wit fro.n his maternal grandfather, the
Rev. George B. Macdonald, a Wesleyan
clergyman. 1t is related Of this bright
Macdonald that in the days when he
was counting the lady whom he after
ward married the father-in-law to be-
an aged Methodist with extremely strict
notions in regard to the proprieties-
was injudicious enough on one occasion
to enter the parlor without giving any
warning Of his approach. The conse-
quence was that he found the sweet
hearts occupying single chair.
Deeply shocked by this spectacle the
old man solemnly said: "Mr. Macdon-
aid. when l was counting Mrs Brown
she sat on one side Of the room and I
on the other"

I should have done if I had been court

"Yes, superstition broke me-, said
the ex-gambler, as, perceiving that the
next man to him had squint, he
crossed his fingers. 81 had heard of the
luck that humpback is certain to fur
nlsh, so I advertised for one. I got him
all right, and now I wish I hadn't. He
had hump that was wonder. It was
two feet high at least. I took him to
Europe, with the intention of cleaning
out the bank at Monte Carlo. Going
over on the steamer I made a little
money, and could see a glorious finish.
From London to Nice I nearly ruined
my bank roll constantly rubbing it
against my mascot's magnificent hump
ITO make long story short, I'll just
say that in spite of my humpbacked
friend dropped my roll at roulette be-
fore we had been in the Casino two
hours. had just thousand franc note
left, and my mascot, who was as badly
broken up as was, begged me to let
him play that in himself. I consented,
because didn't see how the luck could
be any worse The first crack that he
made was to put limit bet on the dou-
BILE zero, but when he Won it tainted.
By the time the doctors had brought me
to he was playing on velvet foot thick
and never turned hair or winked an
eye until the croupier announced stolid-
ly that the bank was broken.
II was the happiest man in the
world then, I guess, but not for long,

didn't lose it back. In fact, didn't get
chance, for when l asked my hump
back to divide he said Nit I remind
ed him of how we'll I had treated him
and begged him to at least tip me off to
the secret of his success. He unbut-
toned his coat, loosened a few straps
and tossed me over a most artistic ar

SaW HOW 1t Worked.

A scientific demonstration which
caused some amusement is described in
a recent number of The Criterion: "a
certain physician had large Toepler-
Holtz machine which gave spark like
a young streak of lightning. His wife
was much interested in it and watched
the doctor manipulate it until she fam
cied herself master of the apparatus.
One day a party of friends called when
the doctor was out, and the good wife
seized the opportunity of paraly ling
them with her knowledge Of science.
'She was a very dignified woman of
portly presence, and, after leading them
into the Office, she began her explana-
ton with all the impressiveness of a
lecturer. She spoke briefly of the pre-
liminary manipulation of the machine.
And them she said, laying her hand
upon one connection, the electricity
goes from here to here;' whereupon an
angry white spark leaped out from the
brass bali indicated with report like
horse pistol and smote her upon the
extended finger, causing her to sit upon
the floor with violence that shook the
window panes.
"The guests stood around in expectant
attitudes. looking at their fallen hostess
in pardonable surprise. Only for a mo-
ment did that capable woman leave
them in doubt 'There' said she, in
the most matter Of fact manner, as
though events had simply followed the
usual course. You see how it works.
Now let's 60 into the garden and look
at the chrysanthemums.
