upon suffering only from the outside fail to

No monkish garb he wears, no beads he

In place OF missals or OF altar dreams
He cons the passloned book OF deeds and

Striving TO cast the comforting sweet beams
or charity on dark and uoisome ways.
Not hedged about By sacerdotal rule,
He walks fellow Of the SCARED and weak;
Liberal and wise his gifts; he goes to school

He looks not holy; simple is nis belief;
His creed, for mystic visions. do not scan;
His face shows lines cut there by others

Aud in his eyes is love of brother-man.
Not self nor self-salvation Is his care;
He yearns to make the world a SUMMER

FIRES COST EIGHT LIVES.
Two Disastrous Tenement BIazes in New
York City.


New YoEk CITY Especially Eight persons
mot death In two tenement house fires
which occurred In the city few days
ago. Several more persons were burned
and otherwise injured.
Six OF the dead and all OF the injured
were victims OF a fire which nearly gutted
the five-story double tenement house at the
southeast corner Of Third avenue and 102d
street, known as the Mentor.
That the loss OF life was not greater was
due to the splendid work OF the ilremen,
who we're on the scene in an Incredibly
short time and effected heroic rescues by
means Of their scaling and extension lad-
ders.
The list OF dead In the Third avenue fire
Is as follows: Patrick Barrett, thirty three
years old, laborer; Mrs. Patrick Barrett,
twenty-seven years old; Julia Barrett, six
years old; Mary Barrett, nine years old;
Richard Nlckerson, bricklaYer, and an un-
known woman.
The other fire occurred in Tenth ave.
nhe> tenement. It started in ash barrels
on the first floor, and quickly swept
through the entire building. The many
inmates OF tue place made their way to the
roof and to the rear fire, escapes, and,
though the confusloh%as great, 1t was be-
llevcd all had escaped u6rn-the flames had
been extinguished. Then tTss.azemen
found Mrs. Fox, with her child III ~
arms, on the stairway OF the third Hoor.
They had been smothered to death by the
smoke.

Thousands Of Volunteers EaE
For Service In South Afrtca|
don to Equip . Corps.

LONDON (By Cable) e).-Whatever may be
going on at the seat OF war, there Is IN out
burst OF patriotic enthusiasm in England
and Scotland worthy Of the noblest tradl-
lions OF the Ellzsbethan era. The Minis.
ters have appealed to the nation for men
to fight the battle OF the empire In South
Africa, and the response Is fairly electric.
Battalion after battalion OF militia is ol-
unteerln9 for foreign service.
Lord Chesham Is enltsting a body OF
three thousand yeomanry cavalry, and the
number can be doubled. London regl-
ments Of the volunteer force are ready to
provide fifty thousand trained citizen
soldiers at short notice, and from England,
Wales. Scotland and North Ireland come
offers by which that number OF volunteers
can be trebled.
The fibre Of British patriotism is as
strong and genuine as 1t was. In the time
OF the Spanish Armada. There are no
signs Of ainching In any quarter from the
defence OF the empire. The ministers have
put the nation on Its mettle, AMI Gun now
pick and choose the men they want and
hold immense reserves behind for future
drafts.
MIR. Goschen reports, that the Admiralty
has already provided sea transport for
12O, 900 troops of all arms to South Africa.
Another 1901 are available II the Minis
ters need them.
The War Office, while embarrassed by
the spirit an fervor Of this national upris-
ing, Is going methodIcally about the work
OF reinforcing the British army now under
fire. The Seventh and Eighth divisions
will be moblllzed like the previous divis-
ious, with army reservlsts. In this way
what remains Of the army reserve, nomin-
ally 70, 600 men, will be brought into active
service.
Nine battalions OF militia will be sent to
Africa out OF the twenty-four embodied,
the preference being shown for artillery
men. How large force OF volunteers will
be employed is not yet determined. but
artillerymen again will be specallyfavored,
and also the best marksmen among the rifle
men.
The yeomanry force barely exceeds ten
thousand, but the War Office will take all
these sturdy rural cayalrymen 1t can get.
It will also encourage enlistment OF the
mounted forces In Canada and other col
onies and avail itself fully OF assistance
from the loyalists OF Cape Colony, and
Natal. To what extent India will be al
lowed to cooperate in the defence OF the
empire is unknown.
At a meeting OF the Corporation Of the
City Of London $3.50, 900 was donated to-
ward equipping q special corps OF 1000
volunteers for service In South Africa. It
was resolved to confer the freedom OF the
city on each volunteer, following the
precedent OF 1859.

fusing to lcok at the corn-such O plain
creature, It ought to be ashamed OF itself.
And, the charlock laughs at the trembling

sun should waste his shining upon you. "
And here stands the naughty thistle. thrust.

and noddng its head iauntily to the big

thistle. "you can get something out Of me,

can sec to admire in the corn" ''Nor i,

the servant, quite satisfied that it is no

that Weeds come from not wedding. 1t is

But says the servant, ''they come OF

ter. 'The soil that grows such weeds ought
to grow good corn: and the rain and the
sunshine that have been spent upon them
would have brought In a good harvest. "
No. there is no excuse. You may talk OF
your peculiarities and circumstances and
difficulties. A man who does so much in the
world ought to be some good in the church.

at the captains place from time out

apparently lost every vestige of the
natural antipathy of their species for

ly through the shadows on the beach,
hunting for small fish, aud three or
four will actually swim out to nearby
luggsrs to get oysters. Like all cats
they are very fond of that kind OF
food, and when the captains lugger

I don't pretend to say. but it has
probably been a matter OF gradual
evolution. Captain Bosco doesn't re'
