Soon there were fifteen Of them out in
the open, in the full sweep Of the
American fire.
Some of them ran to head off the pig
and others pushed up behind to catch
him. The pig wheeled and lodged, and
the soldiers wheeled and lodged after
him. Their voices rose in chorus Of
Spanish shouts. Up and down went
the pig; when a soldiers hands were
on him he would make a twist and
wriggle himself away.
Once he made long straight run TO-
ward the American lines; it did not
help him, for the soldiers were after
him, entirely unregarding the battle
Some of them headed him off again.
and in another moment an athletic
young soldier had seized first his tall
and then his legs. Still another mo-
ment and the pig, firmly held, was Cd
his way back to the trenches, riding Oh
the shoulder Of this young man. hlS
forelegs gripped by one hand and hlS
hind legs by the other.
The soldiers resumed their places ID
the trench; the one who had the pig
put him back into the matched TOOL
building, and presently returned 10 LIZ
own place and took up his gun.
It is safe to say that during the chase
of the pig no American soldier "nV
saw the affair discharged his gun az
the coup. The Americans who sa" II
were too full of admiration ana as'oI
ishment to add to the dangers WnlVD
the audacious Spanirds were unuei,
but thousands Of Americans who cou'O
not see the incident were blazing ava!
in that direction, and the SpaDialu'
who were chasing the pig must nav
heard a great many bullets Wlllsoins
about their heads during their perlol~
ance.

The Mennonites select pastors by lot,
and the ceremonies by which the seIec-
ton is made are conducted with great
deliberation and solemnity. The people
meet in church, and after preliminary
religious services, committee retires
to an anteroom. 4 Bible for each can
didate for the pastoral Office is pro-
cured, and into one of the sacred vol
umes a slip of white paper is inserted.
The books are intermingled and placed
on table, when each candidate ad-
yances, selects Bible and seats him
self. The Bibles are then examined by
the bishop. and the possessor Of the one
in which the slip of paper is found be-
comes the apparently predestined pas
tor. Ordination follows; the congrega-
ton unite in praise and thanksgiving,
satisfied and happy in the belief that
the choice is by Divine appointment.

The eminent scientist, Prof. Koch, of
Berlin, who has achieved much fame
and brought great blessings to human
ity by running down microbes to their
native lair, has departed for the Orient
and the tropics on a still hunt for the
origin Of malaria. Naturally it occurred
to so clever man as the professor to
look for the origin Of malaria among
the Malays, from whom it unquestion-
ably derives it's name, and we have no
doubt that in a few weeks or months
we shall hear that the bacilli are In full
retreat, seeking refuge in the dense jun
giles or in the caves of ocean. When
the professor succeeded in capturing
the cholera bacillus fifteen years ago he
discovered that it was comma, and he
is inclined to believe that the same
description will be applicable to the
malaria bacillus. This, however, is Wig
orously disputed by scientists living in
the low and marshy districts Of the
Middle West, who maintain that mala-
ria is not comma, but period, and
who steadily contend that the only way

them out with whisky and quinine at
the ratio of 16 to 1. On account of the
popularity of this Interviewing remedy
the efforts of the professor to stamp out
malaria are surveyed with hostility in
malarial selections. Many excellent
verses have been written in delineation
of that phase of human suffering COM
monty termed ''fever and ager," and
we remember reading last fall very
beautiful contribution from poet, be-
ginning ''The chill of yester cen is with
me still,' thereby disproving the popu-
lar theory that a chill returns every
other or third day. Lord Byron's ia
nous poem, '"The Prisoner with Chill
On" is much inquired for in literary
circles in the swamp lands, and fairly
divides patronage with Chilled Har-
ODDS Pilgrimage" Naturally Prof.
Koch's Investigations will excite a de-
gree Of curiosity, but we advise him in
advance that he cannot sell any ma
laria lymph in the part of the world of
which we write. It's people are conserv-
ative and never desert a tried and
faithful household remedy for any new
tangled medicines.

patronesses have publicly objected, and
as the announcements said rather more
about them than about the entertain
ment 1t seems that they have some
right to feel aggrieved. 1t is difficult
to see what the "patronesses'' have to
do with this or a great many other en-
terprises which they are said to be pat
ronizing, anyway. Possibly it is COM
fort to some people who buy tickets to
the entertainment to know that they
are patronizing show which also en-
joys the patronage of some very
wealthy women; but it is difficult to see
how it makes the show any better.

Irish Love-Making.

A writer in Macmillan's Magazine,
treating of Making in Ireland"
relates the following anecdotes:
A bashful lover wished to make a
proposal of marriage, but his courage
failed him, and he induced his sister to
become an intermediary, he remaining
outside the half-closed door, hidden,
but within earshot, to learn the result.
It was not favorable. The fair one
saucily tossed her head, and replied:
Indeed, now, if I'm good enough to
be married, I'm good enough to be
axedv
Hearing this, the anxious swain
thrust his head inside the door, and
said, beseechingly:
'sNorah, darlin', will We do what Mag
gle axed ye?"

In New York. Among the bills passed

If the law enabled every person in
jured or the heirs of every person killed
by fire or in attempting to escape from
fire in a public inn or hotel to collect a
considerable fixed sum by a prompt
and approximately summary process,
the precautions against fires and
against fatal consequences from them
would be made very much more effec-
tive. The vigilance and ingenuity of
the innkeeper would be far more effec-
tive than any official supervision.

country and Canada for the Russian
sect called the DOukhobors, of whom
the total number is about 10000, gives
prominence to one of the most curious
religious bodies that are to be found
anywhere in the world. The real title
Of the body is the Universal Brother
hood Christians, and it was first heard
of in 1850. The leaders trace their orr
gin to the English quakers, although
there are now remaining few traces of
the parent religion. They are described
as "peaceable, simple and devout, and
they live the communal life" At one
time they numbered more than 10000,
but prosecutions and efforts to repress
them in Russia have reduced their num-
Der about one-half. Their form of be-
lief is peculiar and strange. They deny
the existence of a personal God, and
their doctrine of the Trinity is that
Memory is God the Father, Reason is
God the Son and Will is God the Holy
Ghost. They believe in the Immortality
of the soul, but hold that an infant is
soulless and that it does not possess a
soul until the fifteenth or sixteenth
year of it's life. They deny human au-
thority over them and denounce the
forcing of one man to do the bidding of
another, but they are in no sense revo-
lutionists and their only resistance to
the government is their refusal to take
up arms in it's behalf. Their domestic
affairs are as anomalous as their faith.
Their family ties are based entirely
upon mutual love and affection, but
their marriages, or unions, are binding
upon neither husband nor wife. They
have been most inhumanly prosecuted
in Russia. In August, 1899, the entire
body was banished to Siberia under
ukase that provided that they should be
kept for life at hard labor land that
they should never have the chains re-
moved from their hands and feet" In
1882 they were permitted to colonize
Siberian farm, but in 1889 their farm
was seized and the able bodied men
were all forced into the army. In 1860
they were permitted to return to Rus
STA, and about $4,000 OF them came
back, but they were driven from one
part of the country to the other and
were finally removed to the Caucasus.
About two years ago they were given
permission to emigrate at their own ex-
pense, and the cost of this movement
was, by the efforts of Count Tolstoi
contributed by the English Quakers. A
colony of about 1,1O0 was sent to Cy-
prus and another body is to be sent to
Western Canada. In this country there
is committee which has taken up the
cause of these refugees, at the head Of
which is William D. Howells, the novel
list, of New York. Jane Adams, of
Chicago is also an active member of
this board.
