nection with Japan, is not only dis
tressed. but likewise dismayed, FOR ne
realizes that the war in Manchurld
and Korea entails a temporary erIaee-
ment of Muscovite influence In the
Balkans. which rebounds to the ad-
vantage of Austria, and while the
Padishah dislikes the Russians, yet ne
hates and fears the Austrians far more
bitterly. This is due to the fact that
he realizes that the Gar and his peo-
pie now desire above everything else
the maintenance of the status quo IN
the Balkans. and are strongly averse
to either the creation of an independ-
ent Macedonia or the annexation Oh
the latter to Bulgaria.
Russia has found to her cost that
transformation of the Christian prov
inces of the Sublime Porte into more
or less independent states is not con-
ducive to her POLITICAL interests
Roumania, Servia and Bulgaria all owe
their liberation from Ottoman thrall-
dom to Russia, and in all three or
these countries she is regarded to-day
with sentiments of hostility, and ex-
periences difficulty in making her IN
f1uence felt in their capitals. The Car
is not in sympathy with Macedonian
nationalist aspiration He does not want
a Macedonia that Is independent or
the predominant factor in union be-
tween her and Bulgaria. Nor does he
want an independent Armenia. and 1t
was because he discovered that the
vast property of the Armenian church
in Russia was being employed to pro-
mote the nationalist aspirations of the
Armenians in favor of an independent
Armenia in Turkey that he seized the
entire estate in question, so as to as
sure himself that the revenue should
only be employed for strictly educa-
tional and ecclesiastical purposes and
not for political and revolutionary
| propaganda.

Il Female CrHSOe.

Off the coast of Newfoundland lies
a small island known as the Isle Of
Demons, which holds within its rocky
shores a romance as thrilling and a
tragedy as real as any told in fiction.
About 1910 Marguerite de ROberval,
niece of the French Viceroy, fell in
love with a young cavalier and prom
ised him her heart and hand. Her
uncle, the Viceroy, considered the
youth unworthy of his niece's proud
position and, angered by her refusal
to give up her lover, he passed a SEN
tence of exile upon both of them. A
vessel carried the couple to the Isle
of Demons, leaving them there alone,
with an old nurse who had attended
the lady Marguerite from her child
hood, and who wished to- share her
exile.
At first the Punishment did not seem
so dreadful a thing; the young mans
strength stood between his wife and
suffering, and for two years all went
well. A child was born, and the pa
rents began to plan for the establish
ment of a colony which might thrive
in this island home. Then came trou-
BILE, swift and terrible.
Disease smote the little family, and
the young wife and mother saw her
husband. child and faithful nurse all
sicken and die. With her own hands
she dug their graves and buried all that
was dear to her. And then began a life
alone-a life in which the mere ques-
| ton of existence became a problem
hard indeed for a frail woman to solve.
Ry means of the gun that had been
/ her husbands she kept herself pro-
vided with food and with skins for her
clothing.
For two years she lived Robinson
Crusoe life, this gently nurtured, highly
| bred girl. Once a boat filed with In
dians came near the shore, but the
painful faces and fierce aspect of the
savages frightened her, so that she
hid instead of hailing them. She spent
weeks of labor in making a crude ca
noe, but her hands were dnskiIled, and
when she LAUGHED her craft it would
only tip over.
At last she was rescued by some
fishermen who ventured on the island
half frightened at first by what they
thought was an evil apparition.
Marguerite was sent to France, bu
| her uncle discovered her whereabout.
| and continued to persecute her Sh,
finally found refuge in srrall French
village where she hid u41l the Vice
roys death After that she came int
| the world once more and lived to a gooS
old age.-Youths' Companion

TALK OF THE TOWN
ANDzHoR OF RHE
TIMES ~
The Helping Hand.

Mistah Jackson is a Pullman car
porter who travels across the not
sands of Nevada in the pursuit OF his
vocation and a few honest dollars.
over in Nevada, where the wild wind
blows and the lone coyote howls' the
speedy atmosphere leaves behind IT
trail of parched throats. Stations are
few and far between and the stops so
brief that the colored gentlemen on
the cars get little chance to hit an
oasis.
Mistah Jackson, when he lays over
in San Francisco after tiresome rum
generally goes out to celebrate. The
peculiar thing about Jackson is that
on these times he becomes intensely
melancholy. One night somehow or
other Mistah Jackson was escorted 10
the Hall of Justice in a condition sim
liar to that of a wet sponge. me
prison-keeper placed him in a cell
along with another celebrity of the
same brand and left him TO repose In
the peaceful solitude of the pen.
Jackson seemed to take his forced
lodging much to heart and objected
strenuously at being placed in the lat
ticed room.
Prison-keeper Murphy was making
the rounds about a. m. and dlscoV-
cred the morose Jackson in the act OF
elevating himself from the floor by
means of a handkerchief tied one END
around his neck and the other to one
of the cell bars. Assisting him to his
elevated position was the other drunk,
never a smile and with the
philanthropic expression of Car
negie on his face. In response to the
prison guards question as to what he
was trying to do, the other inebrlate
responded calmly that the coon
wanted to hang himself and he was
helping him out" Prison-keeper Muir
ply does not believe in the helping
hand" policy in such an instance and,
lecturing the two inebriated gentle
men on "the evils of suicide as a
means of occupation" he departed
with a smile.

English Caricature.

Mr.. Gould. the English cartoonist, has
thus defined his method: ITO hit hard
without giving offense. Directly a car
toon- becomes abusive it fails in its
effect This is purely the English ideal.
In America the people like strong per-
sonal attack. An American caricatur-
list once expressed his surprise to me
at the mildness Of English caricature.
He could not understand it until he
came over here, when he soon found
that the American style would not be
tolerated. Our people do not like bur-
lesque." There is no doubt that this
difference in taste is a phenomenon
which goes right into the roots Of ma
tionaI character. 1t is worth the at
tention of psychologists and historians.
Why is American caricature cruel,
while English caricature is humane? ?
Doubtless American caricature has
been profoundly influenced by the Ger
man school, from Mast to Keppler, from
Keppler to Opper. But we must dig
deeper for the real explanation Cruel
caricature' is a mark of political imma-
turity, Of raw civilization. France,
Germany and the United States are
still in their political teens. We in
England have outgrown caricature and
other diseases Of political infancy. 1t
may be that we are senile; at any
rate, we are polite. 1t is true that we
are not yet so polite as the Chinese,
but we are creeping up.
Mr.. Gould is the politest caricaturist
who ever lived. His favorite victim is
Mr.. Chamberlain. lie has caricatured
Mr. Chamberlain at least a thousand
times. Yet he and Mr.. Chamberlain
are good friends. Indeed, after the
Iehard fought general election of 1895
MIR. Chamberlain wrote to him, saying
that he had been as much amused as
anybody, and sent him his photograph,
inscribed, From the real Chamberlain
to the talented creator Of the ficti-
tious." Mr.. Gould, not to be outdone,
sent q set of his caricatures TO Mr..
Chamberlain. Fancy Tnomas Mast and

Diplomatic Prayers.

The recent dry spell in the south
brings to mind a good story told on
Father Ubach, the venerable Spanish
priest in San Diego, and vouched for
by himself.
The Indians of Southern California
have a legend that there are alternat-
ing periods of seven years of drought
and seven years of plenty. In the
middle of one of these dry seasons a
delegation of Indians visited the faith
er and requested that the customary
prayers for rain be offered. Father
Ubach stepped out on his porch, look
ed at the parched earth and the cloud
less sky, then at the weather vane on
the church steeple and replied:
Not to-day, my friends, not to-
day. When the wind is from the
southeast then I will pray for rain"

Rapid Reading.

A Kansas City preacher has. pointed
out that it takes only sixty hours for
an ordinary reader, to read the New
Testament through. One hours read
ing a day for two months will com
plete the Book of Life. A business
man who did not believe these figures
tried for himself and reported to the
preacher that he had read the entire
New Testament in forty hours. More
important is the fact that a man may
read the New Testament for sixty
years and find ever new wisdom in it.
