A PUNC9 EAL COUNT.

They have made considerable fun of
the Count Montesquiou, who has come
to New York from Paris with many
curious clothes and some soulful lee
lures to the select, to whom he has, il
appears, excellent introductions. But
the Count has his merits. He can talk
well, and has succeeded in interesting
his small but appreciative audiences.
He also has fine manners. And he has
been so well brought up that, in spite
of all temptations, he is punctual. He
seems to think that he has not the
| right to impose on people by keeping
them waiting when he has agreed to
meet them at certain time. And be-
ing punctual himself he has the curious
notion that other people ought to be as
punctual as he is. The other day he
received an invitation to dance at 10.
Not knowing New York we'll he sup
posed that 10 meant 10. So he went to
the house in accordance with his invit-
| alton. Nobody was there to receive
him. The mistress of the establishment
was in the hands of her maid and could
not be seen for two hours, so she sent
bunch of daily papers to be read
while he waited. 1t was IL o'clock
when the dancers appeared, and the
disguised Count took his departure
early, remarking that in Paris it was
good manners to accept invitations at
the hour when one was invited.
We don't suppose that the elegant
French Count who has come over here
to teach the fine New Workers some
things can teach them punctuality.
But it would be a good thing if he
could. They are much in need of such
teaching, as are many fine people in
other places than New York.

the slave trade, the Enlir Of Kano has
bade the English defiance, ana has col
lected about him a force of ten thou
sand men for the purpose of defending
his city against attack. AS this resist
ance on the part Of the Enir would be
likely TO cause other native potentates
to assume an independent attitude face
to face with the English. and as there
are only one hundred and sixty-flve
English officials in this dependency,
which numbers many millions Of ma
tives. it has been considered necessary
to proceed forthwith in the work Of es-
tabIishing British supremacy in this
Mahometan stronghold.
By the time the Emir of Kano is
''pacified' somebody else whom the
English are civilizing may make a dis

high intellectual brow, and there was
the inexpressible and uneXpiainabie
spiritual expression that he could not
create in wood or stone. Ahsent-mind-
eddy the master granted the young
mans request, and thought continually
how would this face appear in the
hour of death?''
The master could not resist these
thoughts; they buried themselves deep
in his soul; he embraced them and held
them fast; and while his mouth instruc-
ted the young man, his spirit turned,
as if in an never-endirg magical circle,
constantly toward one thought, one
; wish: IF l could only once see this
face in the agonies Of death!' So
weeks and months passed away and the
master wandered about like dreamer,
like person TRANSPORTED.
One day he requested the young man
to come to the studio at sunrise on the
following morning. To this the unsus-
pecting young man gladly a6sented.
The master on this day did not re-
turn to his home at the usual time.
Hour after hour passed in vain waiting,
and the wife of the artist, full of fear,
fastened to the isolated studio. Before
the entrance, however, she remained as
if rooted to the spot as she heard an
indistinct, agonized moaning from
within. She stepped into the room and
her heart stood still. Opposite her.
with outstretched arms fast nailed to
the wall, was the young man. Two
long streams of coagulated blood
reached to the floor. The head was in
clined to one side, the eyes rolled anX-
iously up and down, here and there,
and the mouth groaned family and i'm
ploringly. The master however, stood
there bathed in perspiration, staring
with CLASSY eyes as he carved eagerly
| on his head of Christ. Even though the
wife shrieked with wild horror her hus~
band stood like a somnambullst ana
| did not move. Then the unhappy wo-
man ran to the city to make known the
horrible thing and to bring help.
In the meantime the master had COM
pleted his work. AS soon as he became
conscious of the extent Of his horrible
and insane deed he gave himself to
Death. His wife and the people who
fastened with her on hearing the terri
BILE news found two lifeless bodies be-
| fore them.
That image of Christ hangs now in
the Church of Saint Mary in Danzig.
Because of it's beauty, and on account
of it's natural expression, it makes
deep impression on every beholder.

A Sorrowful Legend Of Beautiful
Work-Translated From the German
by Rachel Rogers.
There once lived in Danzig a very
celebra ted artist who, in his youth for
many long years, sat at the feet of Mi
chael Angelo in Florence. Like the
great master himself, he was expert in
many arts. From his studio went car
wings, paintings, statues and monu-
ments to adorn palaces and churches,
market places and churchyards in all
the country roundabout. He was rich
and famous and highly honored, but he
was not satisfied and he was not happy,
because he had been unable to create
his ideal masterpiece which should be
the dying Christ.
He had indeed compelled admiration
from envious artists; he had indeed sat
isfied his benefactor and delighted the
great multitude. But in spite of the
adulation that he received he alone re-
manned miserable. In the depths of his
soul he cherished a. sublime image of
the Savior on the Cross. A hundred
times had he sought in color, stone or
wood to represent it visibly, tangib1y;
but he could not succeed in doing it.
The weak hands would not follow his
fancy, and every effort failed. In a
corner of his workshop stood life
sized, wooden image of Christ which
was completed except the expression Of
suffering Of the dying Son of God. His
heart contracted as often as he beheld
it.
One day a young man entered the
studio of the master. He had come
from the Rhine, great distance away,
to become his pupil. Absent-mindedly,
and breathing with difficulty the artist
gazed into the face of the young man.
At first he believed that Christ Him
self had appeared to help him in his
need For, actually, it was the Savior's
face, feature for feature, as his artist
heart had dreamed, as his artist hand
had sought to create. There were the
pale, tender. martyr face and the dark
silken beard; there were the mild, I'M
fashionable eyes; there were the ora
tors mouth, the nobly- turned nose, the

AFTER THE ENER or K1SO,

1t is q cold day, and warm one too,
when the English haven't a little or big
war on their hands. An English ex-
peditionary force, consisting of over
one thousand native African soldiers
and some~ sixty-four British officers
and civilians, has started for northern
Nigeria for the purpose of bringing to
terms the Emir of Kano, one of the
tributary sovereigns of the Sokoto Nj
ger territories, which came under the
direct control of the English govern
ment at the time of the dissolution of
the Royal Niger Company. This great
colonial possession, having it's water
front OH the Gulf of Guinea and extend
ing hundreds OF miles northward to the
Desert Of Sahara, has been by degrees
brought under the direct administration
of the representatives of the English
colonial Office, but in consequence of
certain disagreements, growing possibly
out of vigorous attempts to break up

EMEMBERE ED.

In the talk about the rights and
wrongs of labor and capital the non
union man has been called 1.-THE for
gotten man." There is another forgot
ten man. w. B. Gogle. one Of the large
est bituninous coal operators" in In
diana, calls attention to him. Mr..
Gogle thus remembers him: We grant
ed the miners an advance Of 12h per
cent. when we should not have granted
them anything, for they are better paid
now than any other class of employees,
considering all the conditions under
which they work. But we found by ex-
perience that the public takes the side
of the miners whether they are right
or wrong, and the knowledge of this
condition caused us to grant the in
crease in wages. Since it is to meet a
public demand that we pay more than
We ought, it is but fair that the public
should pay the increased cost, and it
will be made to do so. The increase in
wages means that so cents will be add
ed to the cost of every ton of coal
mined, and just that much will be add
ed to every ton we sell.
This is frank. Having paid for the
anthracite coal strike the public will
now enjoy paying for the increase in
the wages OF the bituminous coal min
ers. Verify these are gay old times,
and before they are over we may all
learn something.

The New York Board of Education
has laid down hard and fast rules for
the guidance of principals and teachers,
some of which are said to be annoying.
For example, one rule provides that
teachers shall be in their class-rooms
twenty minutes before the time of
opening the school, and another that a
record shall be kept of the absence or
lateness Of every member Of the super
vising or teaching force. When the
monthly payroll is made up the princi-
pal must certify as to the number of
days, hours and minutes a teacher has
been absent or late If a teacher re-
ceiving $500 year is five minutes late
three cents is deducted from his or her
monthly salary; if thirty minutes, four
teen cents is deducted. These rules are
strictly observed, even when teachers
are delayed on the cars by a storm, or
a fog, or a breakdown of the trolley.

1.-THE great labor question means the
struggle of humanity for a higher
standard of life. All men strive for it,;
all men are entitled to secure a higher
standard of living. The poor, and the
ignorant, and the dependent, and even
the defective, have right to desire
this; and the burden is on society to
see to it that economic adjustments
are good, with the moral end in view
of securing the best results, not only
from the point of view Of production,
but from the point of view of high cit
