THE attempt upon the Presidents
life is athing to bring the flush OF shame
upon humanity. While the victim of
the assault seems to be on the way OF
recovery-and it is the earnest con-
slant prayer of every upright citizen
that his recovery may be speedy and
complete-the crime is none the less
revolving. l sometimes think the wolf
is less vicious and more merciful than
the biped whose boast it is that he
was created in Gods own image.

Sweet eyes OF blue, as greet you tonight,
Reading your love in its tenderest light,

A DOLL AND A MORAL.
BY BERNARD cAPEs.

Mary in the smallest Of voices so that
the botanist, Of whom she had wor
shipful dread, might not hear.
But he did hear.
''Now, child" he said, "put down

Mary laid her doll on the worn leath-

thetic pat on the back and reluctantly
crept to the side of the botanist as he
sat at his table.

"Now, now! Am I your uncle-re-

guardian. You should have learned
that in a week"
Mary looked at her black frock for
inspiration, failed to find it and whim-
pered.
81 won't have that, missw cried the
botanist angrily, but he should have
said ward to be consistent.
Mary's sprinkle of tears dried in her
eyes like wind blown drops of rain on
a easement The botanist's tone soften
ed. He felt almost as if he had knock
ed over delicate specimen.
"You must Iearn self reliance" he
said, with a stiff, kind smile. "You
are now an orphan, face to face with
the hard facts Of existence, and you
must learn to SOW early that your har-
vest may be full for the reaping."
81 can sew hems" said Mary.
'Hemy' echoed the botanist. ''Well,
well! Look at this specimen and tell
me what it is"
81 think
81 wish you to know"
''It's bit Of laburnum, then"
'"To what family does it belong"
Mary rubbed her left calf with her
right shoe buckle, felt an inclination to
giggle weakly, blushed, looked toward
the high, dusty window and into the
little sordid patch Of Brompton garden
beyond and frightened anxiously.

"It's-it's, like rows Of little yellow
bees hanging on"
cit is papilionaceous, certainly. We
can do without the fanciful descrip-
ton. notice tendency in you-are
you listening?-a tendency to cheap
picturesqueness, which is opposed to
that brevity Of language which is at
once the richness and economy of
| knowledge. Poets (who are on the
whole contemplate race) find their
efeminate inspiration in what they
! choose to consider the accidents Of life.
There are no accidents in life. The
red or yellow of a flower, it's scent, its
formation, are merely subscriptions to
condition and the natural incidents in
system. Give me your attention,
please / shall ring and have that doll
removed, otherwise. To compare a
flower with bee, an inanimate with
an animate object, is wanton and un-
necessary. Now, hear me read this:
The laburnum (of the genus cytisus)
has it's leaves on long stalks; leaflets
rather glaucous, ternate, nearly sessile,
oval, mucronulate. The petioles and
SIMULATE stipules downy. The seeds
are highly poisonous, containing the
principle known as cytisine and pos
, sessing narcotic acrid properties. This
description, which / have written
down, 1 wish you to now take to the
little black table, with your dictionary.
In the latter you will search for each
word whose significance is unknown to
you, and when you are perfect in your
task you will come and construe to
me-"
The botanist turned his head as he
finished and at once bounced to his feet
with positive yelp of rage. Mary
was hushing her doll, who was awake
and crying.
"This is outra geousw he shouted.
"You are a bad, ungrateful childY'
His fury" came with a clap. 1t was
part of system no doubt. But to ex-
pect him to be philosopher as well as
a botanist was to be ridiculously eX-
acting. So he snapped the doll out of
it's astonished mothers hands and in
an excess of indignation tore head and
body apart at the neck and threw the
mangled remnants on the floor.

and vibrating his clinched fists. you

murmured and went on with his work
which he found a little savorless.
Presently came tap at the door, a

through an algebraic formula and went
and opened it. Outside stood Mary,
bowed and repentant.
Please she said, 'T'm good now"
"Pm glad to hear it."
"Please may have EuniceY'
'"That barbarous fetch? Certainly
notp'
For an instant Mary's expression
seemed to forbode resumption Of the
old business. Then she sent piteous
glance in the direction Of the dismem-
bered idol, still lying where 1t had
fallen, and her throat swelled like a
widowed birds recalling, lovesick, the
tunefulness of the merry springtime.
'May do my task ~ she said, with a
weeping courage. =
'"You can try to make amends, but
won't have you here. I am very much
displeased."
Mary, pathetically forlorn, took book
and paper and retreated. At the door
she put up a trembling lip. "Will you
kiss me-"
The botanist expiated his blush with
a burnt offering of anger. $50 away"
he said. ''I am displeased, l tell you"
But when Mary had departed he felt
badly at ease. He was conscious Of a
maggot in his brain and likened his
head to an oak apple. After lunch he
went out for walk, and when he re-
turned Eunice had vanished, and the
house seemed cold and dull.
Toward evening rain drummed on
the windows, and after dinner. restless
and dissatisfied, he stood looking out
into the dreary garden. 1t was shad-
oWy no light there, and the black, wet
ground shone like eelskin But under
the laburnum in the far corner was a
broad splotch Of whiteness.
Suddenly Ills breath caught like a
kink in running reel. He stood
moment, then stole to the bell.
"God! God!'' he muttered as he rang
it in scared fashion.
''What is that?" he said to the serv.
ant who appeared.
The girl looked and gave a cry.
''It's Miss Maryw she said and ran
into the rain. pursued BY the botanist.
They found the child soaked, sitting |
in her nightdress and very drowsy.
'1Take her-you," whispered the bot |

The girl carried the child swiftly in |
to the sitting room.

ly and was meekly obeyed.
Then in a moment the botanist rush
ed at the child, slapped and shook her
and seemed to go mad.
"Let her. be, you devilP' cried the
girl, struggling to defend her charge,
but the botanist took no notice Of her,
for Mary opened her eyes.

Hard Times In Japan.

According to figures compiled by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics the
total exports Of the United States to
Japan during the nine months Of the
present fiscal year are nearly two
million dollars In excess Of the cor
responding months OF the fiscal year
1899, Notwithstanding the fact that
Japan that year laid In such a large
surplus of cotton that her importa-
tions In that line since have been
greatly reduced. The Swiss consul
general at Yokohama, who has Just
sent out a report on the commerce OF
Japan. says that owing to recent
political troubles and scarcity OF
money, Japan's foreign trade for 1900
shows a considerable falling of. Many
banks have suspended and japanese
merchants unable to find a market for
imported goods have been forced to
break their contracts on such orders.
II Is said that ordered goods to the
value Of $50. 000. 900 have been refused
by Japanese merchants and manufac-
turers. The total value of the foreign
trade In 1900 was $243, 79l, 900. an in
crease OF $27. 000. 900 over the figures
Of 1899. This increase 10 due chiefly
to the extraordinary demand for rails
and other iron products, wooden cloths,
sugar and petroleum. The exports
show a decrease Of $500. 900.

Fashion Notes.

Red linen promises to become a very
popular fabric.
Chiffon vcilings, somewhat heavy
and OF striking color are extremely
popular for hat trimmings. Bright
blues, pinks, white and black are used,
n some more novel are of several
colors. They are laid carelcssly over
the other trimmings on the hat.
One of tho latest fads In ornament
ing the large flexible trimmed leghorn
mats Is to set a huge bunch of flowers
close to the edge of the brim in front,
so that the weight bears down the
brim ut that point. The back OF the
hat Is finished with n bow of black
velvet.
Unique as garnitures to AID n finish
ing touch to simple thin muslin gowns
are roscttes Of baby ribbon matching
the color Of the gown and combined In
innumerable loops with black velvet
ribbon of the same width.

With a short skirt you have to be

AnImnis Must Work.

When you see the animals In the
park menageries pacing back and
forth restlessly In their cages do not
take II for granted that the creatures
are unhappy or even discontented. 1t
may be that the lion, or the tiger. or
the polar bear that moves about with
apparently ceascless activity Is only
taking his daily exercise, without
which he would pine and die soon.
When the wild creatures are in their
native jungles they are kept pretty
busy hunting food. Thus each day
they walk many miles, perhaps. In
their narrow cages In the parks they
are plentifully supplied with food. but
their brawny bodies still demand a
great amount of exercise. Mile after
mile Is paced Off daily by the uneasy
creatures. Usually they move with u
long. swinging stride, but when meal
time comes around then the step
quickens until, when the keeper ap-
pears with his baskets of meat, the
tigers and lions and other animals
leap against their bars and growl and
whine and lash their tails. In fact,
they act like great hungry boys do
after a long days tramp il they find
that supper Is late.
