BRYAN AT GALVESTON.
William ]. Bryan, late aspirant for
presidential honOrs, spent the last days
of the nineteenth century hunting
ducks on lake Surprise, the fish ami
game preserve of Colonel William ].
Moody, near Galveston. He was in
Galveston on the 10Th ult., and was in
tervlewed on the letter of ex-President

had received more encouragement in
his journalistic venture than he had
anticipated. He was the picture Of

THE BELGIAN SHAKESPEARE ON
 JUSTICE.

We may affirm, therefore, that neith-
 CT above us, nor around us, nor be-
 heath us; neither in this life nor in the
 other life which is that of our child
 ren, is the least trace to be found of
 an intentional Justice, But. in the course of adapting ourselves to the
 laws of life, we have naturally, been
 jed to credit with our own moral ideas
 those principles of causality that we
 encounter most frequently, and we have in this fashion created a very
 plausible semblance of effective Justice, which rewards or punishes most of our actions in the degree that they ap- | proach, or deviate from, certain laws that are essential for the preservation of the race. It is evident that if l SOW my field I shall have an infinitely bet
 ter prospect of raaping harvest the following summer than my neighbor, who has neglected to SOW his, prefer ring a life of dissipation and idleness. In this case, therefore, work obtains it's admirable and certain reward, and as work is essential for the Dreserva- ton of our existence, we have declared it to be the moral act of all acts. the first of all our duties. Such instances
 might be indefinitely multiplied If
 bring up my children well, if l am good and just to those round about
 me, if I am honest, active, prudent.
 wise and sincere in all my dealings,
 l shall have a better chance of meet ing with nlial piety, with respect and affection, better chance of knowing moments of happiness than the man whose action and conduct have been the very reverse of mine. Let us not
 however lose sight of the fact that my neighbor. who is, let us say, a most dilligent and thrifty man, might be prevented hv the most admirable of reasons, such as an allness caught while nursing his wife or his friend, from sowing his ground at the proper time. and that he also would reap no harvest. Mutatis mutandis, similar re- suits would follow in the other instan- ces I have mentioned The cases, how ever. are exceptional where a worthy or respectable reason will hinder the accomplishment of a duty, and we shall find, as a rule, that sufficient harmony exists between cause and effect. be- tween the exaction of the necessary law and result of the complying effort, to enable our easuistry to keep alive within us the idea of the Justice of things.-Maurice Maeterlinck, in The Fortnightly,

A MIRACULOUS HORSE.

 Even more marvellous was it's behav- for on an occasion when it felt indis- posed to drag the buggy. The owner. who intended to drive to the city. ad- dressed the horse. telling it to fetch the harness. The sagacious brute which, by the way, could distinguish at a glance what was needed fer rid

THE SPANISH PEAsANTRY.

Those who have lived among the peo-
 pie and know something of their strug
 gle for existence are impressed by the
 hardness of their lot and the cheerful
 ness with which they bear 1t. They
 receive no encouragement to till the
 land. and have become quite hopeless,
 The Andalusian peasant has q reputa-
 ton for laziness, and 1t is more or less deserved. but when supervised the Spanish workman will do good work, There is no doubt the peasant would be more energetic in his field labor were he not ground by imposts He is usually sober, quiet and kindly, a good husband and father, inclined perhaps, to be too fond of siesta. and generally for taking life easily but he is content with very small wages, hardly ever drinks and is very good tempered. He is very moderate in his food. as two meals day suffice One Is often struck by the perfect harmony of life of the peasantry as the laborer sits smoking earthware bowl, dipping their bread into the gaspacho of bread, oil, garlic and tomatoes Gf in season., with various other condiments, washing it down with the win du pays, and finish ing up with his cigarette; then, after an hours rest this child of the soil will stroll back to his work, singing gayly to himself, and the wife and the little ones will return home carrying the dish
 It always. strikes the onlooker that the Spainard gets the most enjoyment out of his life that he can, and in way unknown to the more plodding English laborer. The Andalusian peas ant does not live half so well as the English agricultural laborer; he rarely tastes meat, though he oftens eats the coarser kinds of Ash. Near Heres the peasant who works on farm during the harvest gets sixpence day and loaf of bread, and with that pittance he must live and even support a family. His only bed while at harvest work is the cotton blanket he brings with him, in which he rolls himself .-(Chamber

ABOUT A STRIKE IN WALES,
That Has Awakened Interest and Sym

That Has Awakened Interest and Sym pathy in the United States.
 One of the most interesting events
 prepared for Thanksgiving day is q
 concert to be given by the Welch choirs and singers of Pittsburg and vicinity i for the benefit of the striking quarry
 men of Bethesda, North Wales. This
 strike has been continued for over a
 year.
 l The struggle of the quarrymen is one ! of the most interesting of the century,
 and is being watched closely by the toiling masses throughout Great Bri-
 tain. It is not wage controversy, but
 is said to be a contest. against practi-
 cally impossible conditions sought to
 be imposed upon the quarrymen By
 their former employer, Lord Penryhn.
 whose edict restricted the personal and
 religious liberty of his employees. The quarrymen. for years, have been ac- customed to mingle during their dinner hour for social intercourse and to dis cuss matters pertaining to their chap els and their choirs, of which the quar- rymen are so proud. The pretext given for the inhibition was that such intercourse bred discussion. and dis cussion bred agitation. AS a matter of fact, the real ground of Lord Pen ryhn's displeasure, it is said, lay in the difference of religion which existed be- tween the majority of his employees and himself. The workmen adhered to the non-conformist denominations, while T A,.l Do,,r ;c ,,c state church of England. Accordingly they refused to obey his behest.
 A committee of the quarrymen sought modification of the unjust edict, and they were summarily discharged A mass-meeting followed and the thirty five hundred men employed in the quarries decided to strike What may be termed contributory cause of the strike was the fact that the officials of the quarry favored those of their own religious faith in awarding contracts, and these contractors imposed objec tionable conditions The strike has at tracted wide attention in Europe and the outcome is awaited with interest. With that stubbornness that character izes the Celtic race when their religious llpeIly IS al Stdhc, tHcy dit uslel iHHieN not to bend the knee to any earthly lord.
 The strike has been the theme of heated discussions on the floor of par liament. The national board of arbi- tration has appealed to Lord Penrhyn to arbitrate the dispute. but he has ig nored the appeal. The quarrymen who are among the best singers in Wales have recently organized three male choirs of one hundred voices each, and they are touring the continent on be- half of their cause. One of the choirs is now visiting Ireland and Scotland; another is in England, and the third is in the southern part of Wales. The liberal patronage and generous contri buttons bestowed by their fellow toilers has greatly encouraged the quarrymen in their struggles against the tyranny of feudallstic and arrogant power.
 A representative of the quarrymen is visiting this country, and has appealed to the Welch people of the United States for aid and relief.--Labor Tri- | bune.

If the eyes are weak, tired or in l famed temporarily, there are simple ! things that may relieve them. Just what benefits one most under such con- ditions one must learn by experience.
 For some people hot water bathing is a benefit. Other eyes are helped by cold water If one cannot go to an oc- | ulist and get his advice, one must merely experiment and find what gives relief. Except rarely neither the hot
 nor the cold water will harm the eye, For unimportant inflammation or fatigue, l usually advise washing out the eye with lukewarm salt water. i Plain lukewarm water would do as well. but it wouldn't be as convincing.
 People always want to feel they are using medicine. Two teaspoonfuls of salt to a pint of lukewa-m water makes a good clean wash. Half the time that's all one gets when one takes an ocu- pays good money for the medicine. Saturated solution of boracic acid is all right too and little witch hazel in lukewarm water isn't bad.
 After great exposure to dust and dirt it is a wise thing to wash the eyes out with a little dropper or syringe; but as rule the eye will take care of itself. It is built for that-n wink, a tear, and dust is disposed of by the natural method.
 One thing seems to be the particular bugaboo of many of my confreres That is the spotted veil. Now l think the spotted veil is ugly and makes a woman lilk like fright. hate to have my wife wear one, but it isn't because of her eyes.
 There might be conditions of the eye which would make the spotted veil harmful, but don't believe the eyes of one woman in a thousand are harmed by the thing'-New York Sun.

A PENNY WALK.
New Way of Killing Time Discovered
 by Travelling Man in Boston.

New Way of Killing Time Discovered | by a Travelling Man in Boston. You might think that travelling
 mans time was fully occupied, but there are occasions when he feels the need of relaxation and, although theaters are well in their way, they occasionally pall.' It was suggested that the travelling man might to to bed occasionally in order to catch the morning train, but this particular man would not listen to that.
 q was in Boston last week" said he, "and a man put me on to something new The idea is like this. It won't work in town where you're acquaint- ed, but, say you are in strange place. It has it's exciting elements. You go out of your hotel in the evening, either alone or with a man who Is equally ig- norant or localities and you walk two blocks in any direction. Then you halt and toss a cent. Heads, you turn to the right tails, you turn to the left The next two blocks you repeat the tossing up. and follow the indicator So you keep on until you have twisted and turned all over the town. For sa riety there is nothing to equal it; it brings you into the strangest quarters, and you see sights that you would oth- erwise miss. of course there Is a chance that you will double on your tracks, and come back to where you started but in that case 1t is allowable to cheat, or take another toss-up. Try 1t some time when you are in strange town and you'll have more fun than cat fight. ."-Chicago Tribune.

THE GIRL WHO GREW PRETTIER

 last night, and as a mark Of honor his eldes. daughter was assigned to me to take down to dinner. She's bright girl, and I got along very nicely with her and Lady Bletherington on the other side, until the ladies were on the eve of the retiring to the drawing room

What could she mean I did not dare answer her, so said, I beg your pardon What did you say? T said I think I get prettier every day There was no mistaking her words, so I answered, Yes, indeed, such fresh air, and - Just then she caught her mothers eye, and, with the other ladies, she left the room. As she went out she looked over her shoulder with such whitening scorn in her eyes that I knew I had put my foot in it somehow Then it flashed upon me that had misunderstood her; she had dropped an h. What she had said was not silly compliment to herself; the sentence really was, I think Highgate prettier every day. MT. Whynper's hair is quite gray now.-Chamber's Journal.
