My son, a man approaches. Focus
your observers on him; behold him.
Notice his pallid face, his lusterless
eyes, his slow steps and his stopped
shoulders.
See, his lips are set as if in pain and a
triphammer seems to beat at his tenn
pies.
His nights are sleepless, his days are
full Of condensed misery and life is one
long, dizzy old grind for him
Once he was happy and content-a
man among men-but now he is a
reckless wreck.
His friends avoid him, and when he
goes home his dog hunts a dark cor
ner His good wife returned to her
mother many moons ago.
Take a couple of more looks, my son.
Can YOU guess what has wrought all
this trouble?
Rum? The demon Rum, you say?
Not so, my son. Your guesser is
rusty.
Pie! Doughnuts! Hot breadl
That Is the answer, my boy. Those
six minute dinners did It,
The poor man is a dyspeptic-that's
all.
But, say, isn't that enough?-Chica-

THE NIMsLE RHINOCEROS.
Although Clumsy and UngainIy In
Captivity, Ii Is Lively Enough
I'm the Bush.

Or. T.. G.. Elliott, curator of zoology
| of the Field Columbian museum, Chr
cago, lately spent some days in Wash
ington reviewing and studying the
| large and valuable mass of geological
material in the Smithsonian institu-
| ton, National museum, department OF
agriculture and the National 100.
About a year agoDr. Elliot wrote and
published a work of great value on the
fauna Of North America north of the
Mexican boundary and the Gulf OF
Mexico, which proved great success,
reports the Washington Post.
During my trip through Africa eX-
perienced many surprises, and hardly
a day passed but what some of my pre-
conceived notions were dispelIed. For
instance, "A person contemplating a
rhinoceros behind the bars of stout
cage would very naturally suppose
that these animals were the most un-
wieldy. clumsy and awkward imagin-
able, yet nothing could he further
from the truth. On the high, rocky
and rolling ground of East Africa they
are as spry and nimble as goats, which
animals they very much resemble in
their actions They jump about from
place TO place with surprising agility
for an animal so bulky, and run with
a rapidity that is marvellous.
ain this they differ from the ele-
plant, for the latter, when alarmed,
moves off in a long. swinging trot.
The country that | explored, Somali-
land and the lands to the west
aboundS in the two-hOrned black rhi-
noceros The very large, white rhinuc-
eros Of South Africa of the days Of
Roualleyn GOrdon-Cumming. are al
most If not quite extinct, although the
natives told us that such animals were
10 be found TO the west of the country
that we traversed, The rhinoceros
does not see well, but is very keen Of
scent, and whenever he scents danger
he charges down the wind. They have
been known to charge right through
a caravan, upsetting things on every
hand, but continuing in n straight line
until out Of sight.
The hlppOpOtamuS was only found
In the Shebeyleh river, in the regions
that we visited, and was scarce there,
but wart hogs were everywhere in ev-
idence. They are pIucky animals, and
one that | killed tried his best to get
at me after | had wounded him so
badly that he could not use his hind
parts. He was magnificent animal
as he came out of the bush, with head
and tail erect, and shifting the air to
locate the seat Of danger. The open
country Of East Africa is the home Of
the large hamadryad baboon. Every
hill is full of them, and the way they
scold and chatter when a traveller
passes their way would be amusing if
it were not for the fact that they are
at times dangerous, and | believe they
would make things interesting for the
luckless hunter who should happen to
get caught among them without
proper means of defending himself"

GREEK MONASTERIES.
Interesting Facts About Some That
Dot the Various Mounts of
Their Country.

It is a firm belief of the eastern
monks Of the Greek church that God
will not allow q monastery to be
burned When the Russian monastery
of st. Pantelemon at Mount Athos was
burned few years ago the Greeks
who constitute the great majority OF
the 600 monks on the peninsula, main
tained that their Russian brethren had
brought the calamity on themselves
because they had fire engines and ex-
tinguishers and did nottrust wholly in
God. Now the neighboring Greek mon
astery at ST. Paul, which had no fire
engines, has recently been utterly de-
stroyed by fire, says the Chicago Daily
News.
The monastery Of st. Paul was one
Of the more modern and less populous
Of the 90 monasteries which dot Mount
AthOs. II was erected in the four
teeuth century and had less than GO
inmates But its reliquary possessed
many byzantine objects Of great in

Byzantine model of IIerod's temple
and a silver cross three feet one inch
in length, covered with jewels and ex-
quisite miniature portraits Of the
saints in enamel The library consist
ed Of about 1870 manuscripts, the ma
iority in Slavic and few in Greek.
Most Of the monks came from the
Tonian islands, and, though those is

Great Britain In 1869, were commonly
called "Euglishmen" by their core

ON IRRIGATION.

ON IRRIGATION.
Some Pointers Made by Senator Hans
brough in His Speech on the Irri-
cation Bill.
Washington, Feb. H. Senator
Hansbrough's speech on the bill
presented by him providing for the
government appropriation of
and the sale of certain
lands, for the benefit of irrigation,
is regarded by the friends of the
bill as the strongest argument yet
made for the reclamation of arid
lands.
Among the arguments Mr.. Hans.
brough contended that "to say that
we shall not use the vast waters
that:pour down from the mountain
heights and by applying these
waters to land that would other
wise be worthless, and making two
blades of grass grow where none
grew before, is to say that national
progress and development has
reached it's end, and we are hence
forth doomed to decay. By the
terms Of this bill, it proposes to de-
vote the receipts from the sale of
the public lands, to the improve
ment of the arid lands, by convey
ing that which is now deserts into
fine and fertile lands and making
homes for a multitude of people.
Presidet Roosevelt in his message
said, and very truly said: "The
storing of the food in reservoirs
at the head of waters of our rivers,
is an enlargement of our present
policy of river control under which
levees are built on the lower
branches of the same spring" We
are not asking any appropriation
to improve rivers or to construct
railroads or anything of that kind,
private capital will do all of that
Branch railroad lines in most in.
stances go ahead of the settler
towns will spring up in advance Of
the ripening of the first crop. New
England shall become a party in
interest as well as the west, fol
there will be increased demands
for manufacturing products. Pen.
nsylvania and Ohio will also Sc.
cure their share of the new waters
by steel and iron. The southern
cities will have additional markets
for their cotton and tobacco.
Mr.. Hansbrough produces
statistics and had figures to show
that the population equaled about
one-half of the total population Of
the country, which one-half could
find homes among the vast do
mains of the west, which, if irri-
gated, about 100000 acres could
be reclaimed and made profitable
Mr.. Hansbrough in answer to
the arguments devised by some
that the opening up of this vast
tract of land would tend to de.
crease the value of farm products,
produced figures to show that
during the last ten years more than
100000 acres has been added to
the public dom ain and farm pro.
ducts instead Of going. down have
gone up. He also. showed great
benefits would accrue by opening
up mines and forests adjacent to
the arid region.
