The "Black Gladstone"

From the London News.
An Irish correspondent sends us the .oi-
lowing:
A visitor to Roxborough demesne at Moy.
County Tyrone, Ireland. will notice on the
front OF the castle a black head" Looking
more closely at the grim stone figure he will
discern the well-known features of Mr. Glad
stone. Upward of thirty years ago the late
Earl OF Charlemont was enlarging his
demesne. and in order to do so found IL
necessary TO acquire the lands occupied by
several of his tenantry. AS was common
In those days with Irish landlords. he SIM
ply turned the occupiers- out with very
scanty compensation. Just before hts
demesne extension was completed Mr. Glad
stone passed the Irish land act of 1870. I'M
der which 1t became difficult to ejec. a
teEant farmer without giving compenSa-
ton So eXasperated was the earl with this
legislation that he determined to show his
feelings toward the distinguished author Of
it. Climbing ladder he reached the stone
bust. and with his own hands covered il
with tar. and so had his revenge. There ST
remains standing memorial OF the noble
mans childish folly. and a landmark of
short-sighted landlordism in this country

Mines Of Wax.


rrom the Brooklyn Citizen.
In several parts OF the world resinous
substance, called ozocerite. and bearing
considerable resemblance to beeswax, is
found, usually in connection with rock salt
and coal. There are deposits in Austria,
Russia, Roumania, Egypt, Algeria. Canada
and Mexico, but oz6cerite has, so far, not
been discovered In Sufficient quantities to
pay for mining anywhere except in the
district OF Roryslav. In Austrian Galicia,
ana on an island on the west coast of the
caspian sea. In, mining this mineral wax

S ozaeerite Is struck. Then connecting gal
ier1es are driven. There is considerable
danger and many lives have been lost In
consequence Of the sudden forcing up of
the SOFT wax into the shafts by the enor-
nous pressure to which 1t is subjected. It
Is used largely for manufacturing ceresin,
Wh1ch Is employed, together with beeswax,
Ior making wax candles, as well as In the
manufacture Of Photographic cylinders,

Reverential Mental State.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Devoutness rather than the gentle man
ner or punctual habits would seem to have
developed in a Kensington young man of
whom correspondent tells. He is coaxed
from his bed with difficulty each morning
by patient mother. who long ago taught
him to begin the day with an invocation
for divine mercy. The whistle of a neigh
boring factory is a signal by which he gem
orally guides himself In his matutinal
progress toward the down town office in
which he Is employed. A recent morning
was marked by more than the usual num-
Der of maternal applications that he
awake and arise. She tried again-this
time her voice full Of concern lest he be
late.
John! J-o-h-np' she called. "When are
you coming down? The Z o'clock whistle
has blown"
Certainly her bosom must have swelled
with pride as this reply was waited down
to her:
ITO H. with the whistle! I'm saving
my prayers, mother!"

be derived from the awful story Of con-
fessed crime related by Jane Toppan. the
Boston woman, is the need of exercising
great care in the selection of nurses for
sick, feeble and helpless people. By the
very conditions and circumstances under
which their service is rendered, such per-
sons can do an infinite amount Of mischief
and positive injury with the slightest pos
sible chance of detection. In the case of
infants, imbecile people and persons re-
duced to general helplessness by disease,
maltreatment of the worst sort many be
secretly practlced with little or no danger
Of exposure and no retaliation from the
Victims Injuries occurring to such unfor-
tunates, when discovered. can easily be ex-
planned away as the result Of natural
causes.

Highland Pride.
From Vanity Fair

From Vanity Fair.
Why is 1t that a Scotchman Is so often
ashamed of being called Scotchman? He
must be Scot, or a Scotsman, or a North
Briton. or Caledonian or ''brither
Scot" or anything. forsooth. except what
he really is-a Scotchman. An Englishman
does not mind being described as an Eng
lishman. Welshman has no objection to
the style; and, with all his manifold and
manifest shortcomings, an Irishman is
rather proud of being so called
