Ernest NJ Bowden in The Nineteenth
Century reports chat with Raja
Sivaprasad on Jainism. The jams
pay more regard to the feelings of the
lower animals than any other sect in
the world; will not kill them or injure
them; are careful to avoid destroying
even insects. sometimes wearing a
handkerchief over the mouth to pre-
vent any living creature being breath
ed in. 1t may be argued that this
tenderness will prove in the long run
fatal to its possessors, handicapping
them seriously in the struggle for life
with less scrupulous rivals. AS evil
dence to the contrary Mr.. Bowden
points to the jams:
Notwithstanding the opposition. if
not active prosecutions, Of bygone
times, the one small sect which, more
than any other in the world, has
taught and practiced the doctrine of
'ahimsa,' or 'noninjury,' to living crea-
lures, stands today, after some four
and twenty centuries, by far the most
prosperous community in population
verging on 300,0OO,000."

No Fear When Death Draws Nigh.
81 have seen thousands of persons
die under all sorts of circumstances,
and never yet have seen one display
the slightest fear of death This re-
markable statement was made the 9TH
er day by a physician who has prac-
ticed many years in Philadelphia and
who has seen Il great deal of hospital
service.
1T is a popular fallacy," he went on,
ito imagine that a deathbed scene is
ever terrible other than as a parting
between loved ones. The fear of the
unknown is never present at the last
Even amid ignorance and vice l have
never experienced such scenes as a
novelist who strives after realism will
sometimes picture.
"When a patient is told that he can
not recover and the end is near, he in
variably seems resigned to his fate,
and his only thought seems to be of
those who are to be left behind. This
is true alike of men and women.
''Those who become hysterical and
declare they are not fit to die are the
ones who are not as i'll as they think
they are They always get well.
"a psychological reason? Oh, don't
know that there is any. It's just hui
man trait" Philadelphia Record

sheen In spain.

In Spain there are some 100000 Of
migratory sheep, which every year
travel as much as 200 miles from the
plains to the "delectable mountains"
where the shepherds feed them till the
SHOWS descend. These sheep are known
as transhumantes, and their march,
resting places and behavior are regu-
lated by ancient and special laws and
tribunals dating from the fourteenth
century.
At certain times no one is allowed to
travel on the same route as the sheep,
which have right to Craze on all open
and common land on the way and for
which road 80 yards wide must be
left on all inclosed and private proper
ty. The shepherds lead the flocks, the
sheep follow, and the f1ocks are accom-
panied by mules carrying provisions
and large dogs which act as guards
against the wolves. The merino sheep
travel 400 miles to the mountains, and
the total time spent on the migration
there and back is Ia weeks.-Spectator

The word "ship" is masculine in

guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic
and Scandinavian. Perhaps it would
not be an error to trace the custom of
feminizing ships back to the Greeks,
who called them by feminine names.

goddess of the sea. But the English

LONGING.

Tell ms. ~ rocks or heavens arched skies,
Is there place where friendship never dieA
Where to our hearts
No knowledge comes Of piercing wrongs
Or sad tho'ts crowd in countless throngs
To deaden LIES bright dream,
Where doubts dwell not nor fears
Molest our happiness?
Oh, answer back, ye hills, and say
There is land where endless day
Claims one perpetual song,
Where friendships flowers live for aye
And hopes refreshing stream
Flows constantly, with loves sail
Furled upon It'll
No night ere comes to lead us where
The rocks lay hidden under
Or storms arise in friendships skies
To tear our barks asunder
Oh, may'st thou lead us quickly on
Ere tired we grow of waiting
Into that land of love and song
Where joys are unabating.

1t was the last ditch, and there was
plainly struggle going on within her,
for in spite of the cool Maine night her
blood coursed so fast that it was race
between her heart and pulse beats.
His purely animal instinct warned
him that she was winning a victory

The band was playing in Tompkins
square to the motley east side audi
ence who had poured out from the
reeking rooms of torrid tenements as
well as from homes of comparative
comfort. Decent poverty, squalid need,
relative wealth, rubbed shoulders here
upon ground of common equality.
But in remote corner of the square
the electric light played with rather
weird effect upon the strangely deter
mined face of woman-a refined look
ing, high bred woman, clearly not in
touch with her surroundings. Beside
her sat Sam Storrow, his eyes upon the
ground But his companion was keen
ly alert, and presently, when she saw
another woman approaching, she wait

surprised start of recognition, and then
she arose and spoke to the newcomer.

A week ago Mr.. Ralph Ralston, walk

there dumfounded, while the incandes-

DREAMS OF TWILIGHT.

When the windows fame at sunset
And the streets are sluiced with blood
And the dying day is sinking
In the nights advancing food,
Smoky volumes lightly trailing
Veil the housetops stark and high,
Hinged with purple that the moment
Deepens in the westssn sky.
When the shadows round us gather
And the darkness settles fast
And each flush of life conclusive
Seems but prelude to the last,
Dreams shall soften wasted faces,
Fraught with presage dark tonight,
Dreams that like the smoke shall vanish
At the coming Of the night.

STOPS ALL COMPETITION.

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-As a result of the
recent consultations and agreements
among the owners of the great trunk
railways east of Chicago, the entire
transportation system between the
mississippi river and the Atlantic sea-
BOARD is to be re-organized, involving
important changes. The plan includes
the abandonment of city ticket offices.
Inc discharge. of all city, general, trav-
ellng and district freight and passenger
agents and solicitors of the eastern
roads In all parts of the United States
Canada and Europe. This will affect
nearly $4,000 men. Also the abolition
OF commission on sales of tickets, the
discharge of all superfuous assistants to
the heads of departments of the indi-
Eldual roads; the abandonment of q
humber of fast passenger trains. which
were established as the result of COM
petition; the same concerning fast
freight trains; the establishing of
common schedules on competing lines;
the establishment in New York of a
board of control made of persons repre-
Senting theVanderbilts, Pennsylvania,
Morgan and Harrison properties, the
rulings of this board on all questions
to be final.
When all this is accomplished on
eastern roads then the west will be
treated in the same manner.
The failure of congress to legalize
pooling is given as the cause of the
consolidation, as tie owners are deter
mined to pool if the purchase of every
road in the country is necessary to OBJ
tain that end.
