our actions are interdependent. Altru-
ism lubricates the wheels Of Progress
the moral machinery of the world cam
not run without it. And the spirit of
Altruism is constantly gathering
strengths it moves on it gains both
breadth and depth. The hindrances in
its way are overcome; it overleaps
barriers that seem insurmountable.
VIM. L. Garrison was dragged through
the streets of Boston; but the avalanche
of altruism set a-rolling by him and
his co-laborers overwhelmed all oppo-
sition. "John Browns body lies
a-mouldering in the grave;" but the
principle for which he died goes
marching on" To decry sltruism will
not stifle it; like Banquo's ghost it will
not stay down. It contains the living
germ of Truth; and the germ will bud,
and blossom, and bring forth fruit in
spite of carping deprecators. The eth
ical progress of mankind in the future
is only possible along lines of ever in
creasing and spreading altruistic senti-
ments. ii. s., JR.

barber Sunset.

Beyond the bar the sun has set -.
And there the wind may chant its runes,
All mythical and sad at sea, =.
But here the high sky over me
Is one pure dome of violet
Winnowed of cloud above the dunes.
Over the Druid pine and FIR
That crown the westering hills is seen
The young moons golden barge afloat
Like some adventurous fairy boat,
With one white star to pilot her
Through seas of pearl and lucent green.
Afar the islets still and dim,
That gem the harb0r's FURNISHED zone,
Hold yet the twilight that must soon
Fall over sea and reef and dune,
As from some goblet's crystal rim
A misty purple wine is blown.
The boats that sailed at break of day
Are homeward bound, and on the shore
A joyous welcome waits each one,
For toll is past and work is done,
When o'er the hushed and placid bay
The veil of darkness falls once more.

.El Paso, Texas.

THERE is no border city in the
United States of greater note
than the city of Ell Paso, Tex
as, the Gate City. It is situated
on the north shore of that famous
river, the Rio Grande, that separates
our country from Old Mexico. eai
Ell Paso is city of 1000 inhabitants
and one-half of this number is COM
posed of Greasers-a name given to the
lawless element of Mexico who come
over the border to escape punishment
for some breach of the law for
which their own government will not
trouble them so long as they remain
away from that country. But for all
that, Ell Paso is quiet and orderly city.
The white portion consists OF people
who have gone there for their health,
found the city to their liking and re-
mained, some going into business,
others living life of ease. Then there
is the floating population, which comes
for the winter season to escape the cold
climate Of the north. Ell Paso is noted
for its fine climate. There is nothing
very attractive about the city proper.
AS you leave the Southern Pacific
station to 60 down town (as the natives
say) the first building you see is large,
four-story wooden structure which was
the finest hotel in the city, but was
lately partly destroyed by fire. Then
you pass through small but beautiful
park that has for an attraction an
alligator pond. And the gators, by the
way, are very fond of dogs. was an
eye witness to sad but amusing incl
dent while looking at the gators
one Sunday morning. A lady was
showing her friends the city, and, upon
arriving at the gator pond stopped TO
admire the "men from Texas" as they
call them. One of the big fellows was
summing himself on the stone slab in
front of the small gate to the basin.
The little dog the lady had with her
started at once to investigate Mr.. Ga
tor, but he had no sooner got in front
of our friend from Texas than the lat
ter opened wide that great mouth of
his, and poor doggiel not q thing left
but the silk cord that he was tied to.

One for the Gbip,nMnk.

The little chipmunk has no soul
Such as resides In noble man;
Poor little thing, its home is just hole
No architect was called to plan.
Its richer brothers will not peed,
When winter dims the distant sun,
To take things from their stores to feed
Its cold and hungry little one.
Ere billiards howl across the hill
The soulless chipmunk takes good care
To stock its larder and to fill
The home with all that gladdens there.
Nor does the chipmunk pile away
More than it needs ten thousand fold,
Or fight its brothers so that they
Must starve when nights are long and cold.
Poor soulless chipmunk! All, how wide
The gulf 'twixt it and noble man!
With what it needs tits satisfied,
And quits at last where it began.

After leaving the park you are in the
heart of the city. There you see all
there is to see. Gambling of all kinds.
Keno and monte are the leading games,
for a Greaser is very fond Of these
games and they support the sporting
class Of the city. Everything is wide
open there. Saloons and gambling
houses never close night or day. They
say that at one time Mr.. Thomas, the
proprietor Of the Gem Hall, the largest
in the city, wished to close his place be-
cause Of the death of dear friend, but
could not find the key and was obliged
to place man on guard at the door
while he attended the obsequies.
One of the disgraces of the city is the
street car system. The line that runs
to Jaurez, pronounced wares) Mexico,
consists of six small bob-tailed cars
and one poor little mule to drag them
along the dusty two miles you are COM
PEELED to ride. On arriving at the
bridge, (if you call it that, a rickety old
thing about 30 feet long with 6x6 on
each side for hand rally you see on the
right the United States custom office.
There the car stops, suppose to let the
mule breathe, for the custom inspector
will stop yeu only to inquire about
your health paper. It's very good,
plan to get your papers before leaving
Ell Paso. Any, doctor will give them to
you without charge. After crossing
the bridge you are stopped at the Mex
lean customhouse, and the dark skin
ned gentlemen can do q good job in
going through belongings. Everything
being o. K, you get started again, for
you still have one mile to 60. There is
not thing to admire. All you can do is
to think how suddenly you have arrived
in foreign land. The very air you
breathe seems to be unlike the air in
your own country. You have at last
arrived in the quaintest of Mexican
cities, which will describe at some
future time. C. E. B.

Byron Wa$ Barred.

Many years ago some admirers of
Lord Byron raised subscription for
monument to the poet, to be placed in
Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re-
quested to execute it, but on account
of the smallness of the sum subscribed
he declined, and Thorwaldsen was
then applied to and cheerfully under
took the work.
In about 1888 the finished statue ar
rived at the customhouse in London,
but, to the establishment of the SUBJ
scribers, the dean of Westminster, DR..
Ireland, declined to give permission to
have it set up in the abbey, and, owing
to this difficulty, which proved insur-
mountable, for DR.. Ireland's successor
was of the same opinion, it remained
for upward of twelve years in the GUS
,tomhouse, when 1846) it was removed
to the library of Trinity college, Cam
bridge.
The poet is represented in the statue
of the size of life, seated on ruin,
with his left foot resting on the frag-
ment of a column. In his right hand
he holds style up to his mouth; in his
left book, inscribed "Child Harold"
He is dressed in frock coat and cloak.
Beside him on the left is skull, above
which is the Athenian owl. The likeness
is of course posthumous. Thorwaldsen
was born Nov. 10, ITO, and died on
March "a, 1844.-Newcastle Eng.)

HORSE WHlSPERERS.
Secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal Tanners.


Irish Animal Tanners.
Ireland, as well as the far north Of
Scotland, had-possibly still has-its
"horse whisperers," though the broth
erings' which give such permanence
and gcniality to the Scottish "plow-
mans whisper" never seem to have ex-
listed in the sister island. Irish "whis-
perers" have been lonely men, whose
secret has generally died with them,
says the Golden Penny.
The most famous ''whisperer' of
modern times was James Sullivan Of
Dunhallow. No horse was ever
brought to Sullivan which he did not
permanently tame. Ordinarily FESTIVE
animals he would master in few min
utes. For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour, during
which time he shut the stable door and
forbade any one to open 1t till he gave
the signal. When the door was opened
the horse was still lying down and
Sullivan by his side, playing with him
as child does with puppy. There
was no tying up Of the foreleg or any
other visible means Of coercion. How
his ascendency was obtained no one
could tell.
A successor of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous,
and was often urged to explain what
was the secret of his influence. But
O'Hara treated his questioners as Sam.
son did the Philistines, deluding them
with various and unsatisfactory an
swers. At one time, for instance, he
said the secret lay in rocking" the
horse-putting one hand firmly on his
crupper, and with the other grasping
his shoulder and then swaying him to
and fro, gently at first and gradually
increasing the motion till you throw
him. At another time he protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear
Both these are we'll known jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse, they
thrown twice or thrice, and If you can
get vicious horses ear between your
teeth and bite hard you are his master
and he your submissive slave from that
time forward. AS to the idea that the
''whisperer" works by kindness, it
stands to reason that that method sup
poses the entire education of the ami
NAL to be in your hands. If you have
only half an hour to do your work in,
you must show overmastering power
as well as kindly feelings. A horse
whose temper has been spoiled by
chronic bad treatment looks on all men
alike as tyrants and DULLES.

ing out of the assassination Of Count
Rostkowski, Russian consul at Mon
aston has been recalled to Sebastipol,

The recall followed on a notification
from the porte that the sultan had
ordered all the Russian demands to be
complied with.
The dispatch received from M. Zino-
vieff, Russian ambassador at Constan-
tinople, announcing that the sultan
had yielded completely to Russia's de-
mands was in part as follows:
1.-THE porte has taken the following
measures to fulfill the demands Of the
Russian government: In addition to
the condemnation and execution of M.
Rostkowski's murderers and the pun
ishment of their accomplices, those of.
necrs who made disrespectful allu-
sions to M. Rostkowski are dismissed
from the service. A careful search
is being made for the persons who
fired at the consul's carriage. All the
Officials, twenty-four in number, whose
names were handed to the porte as
objects Of unfavorable comment by the
Russian ambassador, are relieved of
their posts and handed over to justice
All private persons mentioned in the
same list as guilty Of various offenses
will likewise be tried.
Constantinople, Aug. 24.-The porte's
reply accepting the Russian demands
was delivered twelve hours after the
presentation Of the Russian note-a
promptitude most unusual in the his.
tory of Turkish diplomacy. Tewfik
Pasha, the foreign minister, and Naum
Pasha, thereupon called upon NJ Zino-
vieff, the Russian ambassador, and re-
quested the withdrawal of the Russian
squadron from Turkish waters on the
ground that its presence tended to en-.

On the receipt Of favorable reply
from st. Petersburg M. Zinovieff tele-
graphed the order of withdrawal TO

An extraordinary council of minister
assembled at Yildiz Kiosk Saturday TO
consider the situation in the interior
and discuss the military measures

EFFICACY OF THE ONION.
Apply II Outside and Inside and Cure
n Cold.


The idea Of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy Of the aesthetic. How.
ever, the experience Of those who have
tried it Is that 1t works wonders In re-
storing racked system to its normal
state again. There are three kinds OF
doses In the onion cure, or three onion
cures, as you choose to put 1t. One is q
diet Of onions, the other is onion plas.
tiers and the third is onion strip.
1t Is claimed by those who believe In
the onion cure that bad cold can be
broken up If the patient will stay in
doors and feed on a liberal diet of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but liberal one. For instance,
an onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg on toast, three tablespoon.
fuls of fried onions and a cup of coffee.
Luncheon Of sandwiches, made Of Bos-
ton brown bread, buttered and filled
with finely chopped raw onions, sea-
soned with salt and pepper, makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
breakfast and eaten with a chop and a
baked potato.
The strange efficacy of onions Is well
known to the singers Of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality of their voices and
keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs.
They are made of fried onions placed
between two pieces of old muslin. The
plaster is kept quite hot until the pa
tient is snugly in bed, when it is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onion
strip is a dose that can be bought of
any druggist and is claimed by some to
be unequaled as cure for a cold in the
chest
All this is probably quite true. For
to be done up with onions, both inside
and out, would be enough certainly to
chase out any self respecting cold

why Rest Is Necessary.

A belief lives strong in the hearts and
minds of the majority of mankind, in
Guiding persons of weak digestions,
that quick, brisk walk taken before
a meal gets up an appetite and helps
the stomach to digest the food. Now,
this is exactly what 1t doesn't do. Ex-
ercise spreads the blood throughout the
body. For the proper digestion of food
the blood is needed in the stomach.
Few realize this important fact. After
a long, exhausting walk, bicycle spin
or any severe physical or mental strain
take a good half hours rest in COM
Portable armchair or lying on sofa
before you eat substantial meal.

is she that she persistently keeps her

RESTING IN MlDAIR.

Faculty of Posing Possessed by
Some of the Largest Birds.
while I never have seen 1t explained
In print" said one of the archaeological
sharps of the zoo, sit is wonder TO
me persons should express amazement
at the ability of certain birds to hang
poised in the air without wing motion.
ut is a favorite trick of the great
condor. Away in the air, far beyond
the mountain tops, these birds hang
poised as motionless as If perched on
solid rock. True their wings are out
stretched, but even through glasses not
the slightest motion is perceptible.
They remain In this position for many
minutes, sometimes for an hour, max
ing careful scrutiny Of everything be-
low them in their search for prey.
Then, with a slight fitting Of the wings,
they flap slowly away, or, having
found what they were seeking, dart
like a bullet toward 1t. The eagle,
hawk and other species have this same
faculty Of posing apparently on moth
ing.
"These birds move about until they
meet an uprising current of air. 1t
may come from Immediately beneath
them, from wind DETECTED by striking
a cliff along the sea, or may come
from a great distance, where a rush.
ing wind struck the side Of a noun
tain and was turned upward. Being
on the wing most Of the time In search
of prey, they have learned to utilize
these uprushing air currents for their
own purposes. Coming to one of these
and heading to the wind, they fix their
pinions at an angle which will permit
them to rest there and scrutinize some
thing that has taken their attention
perhaps on the plain below. Thus,
while they seem poised on nothing, the
air current rushing upward buoys
them.
"You see the same thing in mid
ocean when ships are followed by
fiocks of gulls, in some rare case clear
across the ocean. When the ships start
out the gulls fly here and there, some
times away on high and again skim
ming the surface of the water In
search of food. AS the hours and days
pass they tire, and then you will see
them poise for rest on the air current
rising from the stern Of the ship. The
onrush Of an ocean greyhound creates
a swiftly rising air current in its wake.
This curls over like wave and rushes
into the vacuum made by the steamer,
and on it the gulls are carried along
without effort and at the same speed
at which the ship is traveling."-New

whittier and His Admirers.

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had, and this adj
miration frequently took personal form.
One day his sister, in her slow, Quaker
fashion, was describing these erup-
lions. "Thee hast no idea," she said,
"of the time Greenleaf spends in trying
to lose these people on the streets.
Sometimes he comes home and says,
We'll, sister, I had hard work to lose
him, but / have lost him." To this
Whittier pathetically added, "But 1 can
never lose q her."
