STRANGE RACE OF MEN.
Characteristics Of the Swamp Dwell

Characteristics Of the Swamp DWELL
ers Of New Guinea.
Recently the British government
published an interesting report on the
ape-like swamp dwellers OF New
Guinea. This strange race Of hui
man beings has dwelt IN the swamps
from times which antedate the Oldest
native traditions. and It is evidently
on the high road to becoming a dis
tinct variety OF animal The swamp
dwellers have lost three inches in
stature and. while retaining muscular
arms and a robust trunk, have short
and slender legs Walking always in
water or on moist ground they have
feet with long. fragile-looklng toes.
which they place on the ground like
wooden feet" Walking on hard
ground makes their feet bleed. and.
unlike the ordinary natives, whose
skin is everywhere tight and smooth.
the outline of their loins is obscured
by folds OF skin More apelike than
any human being that have seen, is
the concluding criticism Of the Brit
ish administrator. 1t Is probable. Of
course, that this effort OF nature to
create a new species OF amphihious
human being with nat swimming and
wading feet and degenerate physique
will be defeated by civillzing agencies.
Fifty years hence the last recogniE-
able specimens Of this queer race will
perhaps have incased their paddle-feet
In perhaps their women will
be wearing high-heeled shoes But the
record Of their existence is interest

taken to their main camp, twenty
miles distant. He was cautioned by
one Of his guard to keep quiet on the
identity OF his regiment. An oficer

beaten by Chase. The defeated Of.

The Debt the Country Owes.
During the recent session Of Con-
gress Senator N. B. Scott Of West
Virginia made a most eloquent speech
in the Senate In support Of his bill for
q service pension OF s12 a month for
every Union veteran. He began by
saying that the strength and stability
Of the Republic depended upon the
real and patriotism Of its citizen sol
diers. with marvellous judgment the
Fathers of this Government saw that
the defense Of the Republic must be
vested in all Of its citizens, and not
a standing army. Instead Of main
tanning a standing army at a large
expense to the people and always
a menace to their liberties, the wise
founders adopted a system Of mutual
self-dcfense. and in which the people
would reward the soldiers who risked
their lives, their health and their fu-
ture prospects IN the defense OF the
Republic by appropriate pensions and
certain emOluments. They adoVsed
the plan Of community Of interests,
by which the people were expected
to take care Of those who fought for
them Upon this have been based the
pension laws passed from the begin
ming Of the Government down to the
present time. He said:
Il beg to assure you, Mr.. President,
that | am moved by memories that
are sacred to me. memories OF by-gone
days, memories born amid scenes OF
carnage and strife. and, standing here
beneath the shadow of this noble
structure, every stone Of which rep
resents a human sacrifice. whose lofty
dome as it rises to meet the sun in its
coming speaks for those whose voices
are hushed in the silent chambers OF
the dead, to ask this people whose
country. whose Constitution and whose
Flag live by their heroism and their
blood, to hear the feeble voice of
comrade speaking for those who can
not be heard. Allow me to lay the
hand Of patriotism upon the busy
wheels-hush the mad thirst OF com
mercialism, and bid them be stil,
while our brothers blood cries out
from the ground, not for vengeance,
but for Justice
This measure. following the prece-
dent TO the Mexican war. is intended
to remove favoritism and to do equal
justice to all alike.

pears. mammoth as seems the aggre-

Yet however large that roll be. it is

mentous hour. a.-d having answered TO
the call that tried the souls OF men,
and to which call none but the true

HELEN GOULD THE BEST
LOVED WOMAN ON EARTH
Name Of the Great American Philsnthropist He'd IN
Reverence the World Over-Forced by III Health to
Lessen Her Labors IN the Cause Of Charity

Americas best loved womani The
best loved woman in the world The
titles are synonymous and belong to a
woman who has consecrated her life to
charity, and whose efforts In behalf Of
her less fortunate fellow beings have
sapped her limited strength TO the
verge Of a physical breakdown. Now
her physician has ordered her TO take
absolute rest not for a week. a
month or two months, but until her
health is fully restored.
When one considers the amount OF
work which has occupied Miss Gould's
attention, the wonder viii not be that
she was forced to lessen her labors,
but that she was not compelled to do
SO long ago. The scope Of her charity
has been worldwide II has been so
varied as to embrace practically every
branch of pbilanthropic work. No
hobby has confined her liberality TO
one or two lines of giving. No local
pride has limited her generosity TO a
particular section. Her charity has
been as unbounded In a geographical
sense as it has been unstlnted in the
sums expended
Two contradictory qualities have
united In making Helen Gould one Of
the most widely known and best loved
women in the world One is an ex-
quisite femininity. quick to respond to
the sufferings Of others, yet shrinking
to the point OF timidity. The other is a
sense Of right and wrong which is
Puritanlcal in It's inhexibility. making
no compromise for expediency's sake,
aud alert and militant when occasion
demands. This first quality is exem-
plifed in her love for children, IN heF
numerous gifts to the poor. The other
was manifested In her determination
to clear her fathers memory and the
unyielding refusal which met the com
promise rendered by the woman who
claimed to have been his wife. A
weaker spirit would have been glad 70
hush up a possible scandal. but she
waa strong enough to maintain her
