We have seen a small pig stuck in a
paling through which it had tried to
squeeze assisted by an elder one inside.
Attracted by its cries, it took the small
pigs head in its mouth and tried to
pull it through, in doing which it al
most pulled the sufferers head off. In
another case a cat deliberately fetched
its owner to assist another cat which
was lying helpless in a fit. Moreover,
domesticated animals are to some ex-
tent progressive, and have realized
the notion Of common good among other
creatures than their W stock.
There are a good deal Of service and
benevolenoe among very different do
mesticated animals, especially in the
form of protection, sharing Of food and
forbearance. Specialized instances in
which dogs or cats have taken food to
others could doubtless be authenticated,
though the writer has not witnessed a
case. But there is the strongest of all
evidence that they have q tendency to
perform these and other services to other
animals, because the domesticated crea-
lures voluntarily offer these services of
benevolence to nan How oan any one
doubt that animals lin domestication)
are willing to feed each other. when
there are cats all over England and
Scotland which delight in bringing food
as presents to their owners? We need
not go back to the historic cat which
caught IA pigeon every day and brought
it to its master when u prisoner in the
Tower.-Spectator.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE.

When tho naples flame with crimson
And the nights are still with frost,
Ere the summers Turing beauty
Is in autumn glory lost,
Through the marshes and the forests
An imperious summons flies,
And from all the dreaming northland
The wild birds flock and rise.
From streams no oar hath rippled
And lakes that watt no sail,
From reaches vast and lonely
That know no hunters trail,
The clamor of their calling
And the whistling of their flight
Fill all the day with marvel
And with mystery the night.
As ebb along the ocean
The great obedient tides,
30 wave on wave they journey
Where an ancient wisdom guides.
Although the haze of autumn
They vanish down the wind,
With the summer world before them
And the crowding storms behind.

my fate comes along
"That time is not yet, of course?, said
she.
Oh, anxious, despairing heart!
NO" l cried, and shuddered in
dread expectation of some tragic sign
from her. But she was strangely calm.
1t almost seemed to me that q light of
relief leaped into her eyes-the relief
OF the tortured soul at hearing sentence
of death!
A great silence fell on us. She unused,
looking at me with strange intentuess.

"They were mistaken p l cried, still

calmly.

"They told me, said she, THAT you

A bitterness of humiliation flooded
my soul.

"Oh, there is no doubt of thatp' 1

"Perhaps they thought they might
make a match between us that way.

She smiled. i felt too sick to smile.

at all hurt by this revelation of truth"
Then / saw the absurdity of my posi-

to the rescue. 1t was not possible to re.

OF true education is the training which
1t gives to the mind, and this training Is
not lost because II may not be applied
In practical life in the precise direction
that IL has been In college. True educa-
ton Is never O waste Of time, though
much that passes for education is. No

oally waste the four years they spend In

boy can waste four years at college and
he can waste 1t in a counting room or at
q work bench too. 1t is the time spent In
the pretense of getting an advanced edu-
cation that is wasted, and not the time
spent in really getting It. To show that
the time spent in acquiring an advanced
ed ucation is misspent, MIR. Huntington
must show that there is greater per cent
of failures to become self supporting citi-
gems among this class than among those
who have not acquired such an education
and we do not believe he can do 1t. 1t
is no doubt true that larger per cent of
the "frivolous genteel" are college gradu-
ates than men that have not been at col.
lege, but this is by no means due to the
college, it is wealth, or the expected
inheritance of 1t, that accounts for this
class, and the only reason more members
of 1t are college graduates is because the
possession of money facilitates going to
college. AS for caste that is attributable
far more to money than to education.

PARK STREET SCHOOL.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
In your paper of the 18th inst Was An
article in regard to the Park street school
house, signed by Taxpayer. in which he
advised the re-plumbing of the building
and putting on small annex. Is that
all that is required to give the children
in that district proper and comfortable
school accommodations
/ think those who advise this do not
fully understand the situation. On
Brackett street, but short distance
away, is another school building, and the
condition of that building on the inside
school building.
The plan as advised by the school COM
mittee, as I understand 1t, is to build a
new school house on Park street, large
enough to accommodate all of the primary
children in that district, and so do away
with the Bracket street school. Those
who could not be accommodated in the
new school building might be provided
for in the Mcclellan school.
Now If the city council vote to expend
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars in the
way of remodeling and re plumbing Park
street school house, within year or two
like amount would have to be expend-
ed on the Brackett street building, and
after this amount (sufficient to build a
new building) has been expended, you
still have two old school houses revamped
Taxpayer says that it would Icost
sixty thousand dollars to build new
building. 1 understand that the commit
tee on public buildings has an estimate
on the same, from foundation to finish,
and the cost will be inside of fifty thou
sand dollars, and the order now before
the city council expressly states that it
shall not exceed that amount.

Many, indeed most, of the huts had
been burned either by the insurgents

smoke marked the lines of advance of
our troops
In those left standing were evidences
of hasty tiight-partially cooked meals of
rice and occasionally little meat, with
now and then some puny tomatoes and
lunches of bananas. The furniture was
of the simplest, consisting usually of a
few mats and some bamboo chairs, with
an old chest or two filled with rags. But
in every house was a cruciflx or else a
picture of the Virgin, and many houses
contained several such pieces as the only
decoration of their walls. Occasionally

with consumption. Perhaps the cough
was partially affected. for these old fell
lows cannot be trusted, so each one had
to open his neager clothing to show he
had no weapons. Every house was rigid
ly searched until we came to one where
on the floor lay child of q or Z, with
the smallpox, and that house we hastily
left. Several similar cases were found,
for the disease Is very common. The
church WAS, of course, a stone structure
and had cost more time, labor and money
many times over than all the rest of the
village. Its altar held giided wooden
crucifixes and wax figures of the Virgin.
l had come out to look for and destroy
am munition and food supplies, and,
strange TO say, this old church was the
only place in which found anything of
importance. It contained quite a pile of
six FOUNDER shrapnel for field piece.
But 1t was growing late, ana as We
were mile and a half from our pickets
IL WAS necessary TO return TO camp. 10
ing down the street we met an old man
and woman returning to their home from
some place OF hiding. As we stopped
them to search their clothing and
bundles we must have frightened the
poor old things terribly, for while he
worked hard at his cough she Jabhered
and cried and apparently begged, expect
ing know what fate at our hands.
When l told them they might go the poor
old creature dropped on her knees beside
the road and cried and bowed her head
to the ground to me again and again,
and came away 1saving her there in the
desolation of bowling dogs and deserted
huts, hoping she might find her own
shelter still standinG.

passed, but the light had faded. Here

Correspondence of Chicago Record.

Correspondence OF CnlcARO RECORD. !
Manila, April GA few days ago I was
ordered to take out patrol for the purpose
Of finding and destroying any supplies
left by the Filipinos when they gave way
to our advancing line. The road we fol-
lowed was poor one, winding around
clumps of bamboo and up and down, the
ridges that marked successive lines of
resistance. All this country Is arranged
in paddy fields, where rice is grown, and
every slope is terracsd, for the water
must be held on the ground for RIGA At
the edge of each terrace is bank of earth
for that purpose, SO that very little work
10 required to erect defenses, few SHOW
eIfuls of earth Strengthening sufficiently
almost any of the banks already CON-
structed.
Along the road were here and there
trenches that had been thrown up and
held long enough to cause our forces a
loss, but not long snough to delay their
march, for our forces had no idea of
hating. Instead, whenever opposition
developed they rushed the place, and al
they did, and have learned to fight much
better than when they began two months
ago, yet they are no match for our men
Soon We found results of the morning 8

morning those same objects now lying

now man and beast turn aside involun-

Of smoldering bamboo marked the only
home this one had ever had, and its de-
struction was almost as quick to follow
the match AS was his poor souls flight
from the bullet. And this other hideous
thing, still roasting and suffering on
the EN- bers. had perhaps crawled into his
hut only to perish with it and leave no
trace ON earth of his life or it's accom-

what we are paid for; but l hope nobody
thinks we take pleasure In it, or imagine
we can get satisfaction out of death and
destruction. OF course, after entering a
fight there Is nothing to do but push 1t
as hard as possible. and the instinct of
self preservation actuates men in deeds
the results of which they deeply deplore.

about four feet from the ground and d

floors are of bamboo, with cracks be-
