CHICAGO FACES.


 Probably in no city in the country do the masses show by their countenances less traces of Anglo-Saxon blood than they do in Chicago. On the thorough fares in the street cars, in the parks, in the public libraries, in the city hall, in the cour~ house, in railway stations, on excursione boats there is the un- mistakable universal foreign cast of physiognomy, These are not SO con- spicuouely the raw countenance5 of new arrivals, but they are those vari- ously modified by longer or shorter identification with our social customs. Only the faces tell the general truth, for of course, here, as everywhere else in this country where these exiles have settled, all national distinction of dress, all individuality and picturesqueness of costume, is oIblterated in a dull and cheap conformity to American stan dards. Yet in this multitude the obser- yer sees the donder of the evolution of minds and souls in all stages, from the vacuity of anlmalism to a maturity of the higher faculties. Chicago's great mission Of uplifting the lower strata of its masses. Of course, only by viewing the multitude as a whole is the effect recognizable. The observer can know nothing of individuals, but looking into the countenances of hundreds of Teu- tons, Jews, Celts, Scandnavians, and Slavs, the prevailing types seen daily on the streets, he discerns the Amen- can quality in varying degrees creep ing in to supplant some of the more marked native lineaments. A distin- guished homogeneousness is working ous of the heterogeneous human com pound. Even two or three years as janitor, teamster, gardner, junk dealer or hod-carrier in g. large American city have an effect in moulding away the aboriginal inertness and depression from the features of an aIien.--Loren H. B. Knox in the Atlantic Monthly.

NELSON'S FIGHTERS.


 Had Few Pleasures and Faced Death
 With a Jest,
 or the wooden walls of England" " the great sailing ships in which Admi- ral Nelson won his victories and of the men who worked them, critic Writes Though beautiful to behold and terri ble to fight with, those old men-of-war were more often than not abodes of tyranny and wretchedness. The vio- lence of the press gangs, which seized men of all ages and occupations, was but a prelude to the oppression that followed Decent men were herded in- discriminatory with rutfians, the rights of free born Englishmen were rudely snatched from them-for them thence forward there was no law save the will of the captain and the dread articles of war Shore going leave was non-eXist- ent, the food was atrocious and scanty, punishments were barbarous, and the only thing served out with any liberal ity was rum on which the men got drunk and then were flogged for that offense at the gratings next morning.
 In Nclsons time the seaman had few pleasures save the prospect of a hot fight and his daily pint of rum. But to these must be added the vain- glorious satisfaction he took in his clothes. When rigged out in his best he frequently wore rings in his ears and silver buckles on his low shoes, his short blue jacket would be decorated with gold buttons and colored ribbons sewed down the seams to give an addi- tional gayety, his waistcoat might be red or canary, and a black silk hand kerchief would be knotted loosely round his throat As the finishing touch his hair would be hanging in a cue down his back. The broad collars were were first worn as a protection against the grease and pomatum used in dressing the pigtail
 But all these friperies were discard ed when the guns were cast loose from their lashlngs and the linstocks were lighted. It was the custom of the men when going into action to strip to the waist. They took their black silk handkerchiefs and bound them very tightly round their heads over their ears, so that tho roar of the guns might not deafen them for life. It was remarked that men going into action always wore a stlllen frown, however merry they were in their talk.
 Methods followed in that day were curiousy primitive and toilsome, but the results were Undoubtedly satisfac- tory save to the nameless and number less sailors who met grim death on the black and blood-stained decks or in the dark horror of the cockpit. That those hardy and careless men often faced death or disablement with a jest or a cheer only renders their uncon- scious heriosm the more impressive. " Chicago News.

IS TT THE TIME TO DESERT?

The Rev. Dr. Charles Wesley Spicer, of Cincinnati, who has left the Episco- pal Church to practice law says the ministry is the most discouraging pro- fession possible. "The men don't care" he said, "the women are too busy with euchre parties, souls will not stay saved and the minister has to work all alone. I want results, and I cannot get them in the ministry"
 There is more truth than poetry in Brother Spicers description of the sit uation, but perhaps a minister who has Charles Wesley for part of his name, or one who hasn't, doesn't show the highest Christian fortitude and courage in deserting the ministry because peo- pie are not properly concerned about their souls Isn't such time as Broth CT Spicer describes just the time for a true servant of God to hang on and work all the harder to bring the ire ligious to a realizing sense of their blindness and stupidity? What can Brother spicer say if he is examined at the last great day as to his per- formances on earth? And what can he say when he comes to his own judg- ment? Wont he be obliged to confess to himself that he deserted just when he was most needed?

 are illegal and an outrage upon the public. The pavements are public property, and so in a large and true sense are the subways the street cars

4 STIR IN SPAIN.

Spain Is stirred by another agitation having for it's object the abolition of the unpopular excise duties. The cab met of Senor Maura made an effort in this direction in 1904, by lessening the duties on wheat and flour, but only suc- ceeded in decreasing the revenue with out benefiting the consumers. Now the whole subject is to be investigated at the instigation of the present premier, Senor Moret, by a royal commission, composed of six senators, six deputies, selected from all parties in the Cortes, including republicans, besides repre- sentati in the Madrid Town Council Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, associations of merchants and propri- etors, industrial guilds, Working Mems Centre, Institute of Social Reforms, and five high officials of the Finance and Home departments.
 The royal decree gives extraordinary powers to the Commission for investi- gating and for devising the most ade- quate means to create taxa ton in lieu of the excise duties, and fixes a period of three months, expiring March 9l, 1906, for drawing up and handing to the government 8 report embodying the results of it's labors. Some important statements are made in the preamble of the decree, wherein it. is admitted that the excise duties are levied in a vexatious and costly way, the average cost of collecting other taxes being , per cent, whereas it rises to 27 per cent. for the excise duties, and leads to chronic frauds that have to be ex- amined by the courts of justice. The preamble sums up the case thus: No body can deny the expediency of suppressing a tax so odious and so im- moral, but nobody can assume the re- sponsibility of depriving the Treasury of 15 per cent. of it's revenue and the municipalities of their only means of covering their budget"

LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ADVERTIS-
 ING

A Brooklyn business man conceived and tried to carry Into execution the other day unique and brilliant adver- Using scheme. He had his advertising sign affixed in raised letters to the tire of an automobile, so that when the let ters were coated over with white paint the machine painted his advertisement on the asphalt wherever it was driven. But the Brooklyn street-oleaning com missioner, being an irresponsible soul who did not appreciate stroke of genius like this, on the pavement, threatened the advertiser with the po- lice and promptly squelched the whole scheme. We cannot see why this pro- posed method of advertising was any more offensive or objectionable than

 However when Bonnai day or two later fell into the hands of justice Ler- tot sought out the young woman, of whom he had no previous knowledge, with the result that his susceptibls heart was so touched that he entered into the fulfllment of his promise with surprising zeal. So well, indeed, did he enact the role of Bonnat that he in 8 short while espoused the latters fiancee.

The origin of the phrase "getting in- to a serape' is receiving some atten- ton. A learned gentleman who in- dulges in the sport of golf claims that it is shis game which has given the language such 8 graphic expression. He goes on to say: In the north of England and Scotland this game Is played for the most part upon downs Cor links) near the sea, where there is usually an abundance of rabbits. One of the troubles of the golf player is the little hole which the rabbit makes in the sward, in it's first efforts at burrow: this is commonly called rabbits scrape, or simply scrape. When the ball gets into a scrape, it can scarcely be played. The rules of most golfng fraternities, accordingly, include one indicating what is allowable to the player when he gets into a scrape. It seems, therefore, allowable to surmise that this phrase has originated with the golfers.

Gas hasn't been knocked out by elec- tricity. According to good English au- thority, there are now more than $50, 900 gas stoves in London, and it is said that by substituting gas of low candle power for coal as the household fuel of London the smoke problem of that city is being solved in a practical way. This last assertion rests on the authority of statement in the house of commons by John Burns.

and coworker In her lifetime Of the
late Helen P. Blavatsky. has been Sc
riously injured in a railway wreck in
Italy. according to private advices Just
received here by member of the So
ciety In this city. Beyond stating that
he had been placed In a hospital and
is ''ln bad way" no details OF the
wreck are given. Because Of his id
vanccd years fears for his recovery
are entertained.
Colonel Olcott at the time was on his
way to India from Chicago. where he
had presided at the annual conven-
tion of the American section OF the
Theosophical society held In that city
in September.
Col. Henry Steele Olcott received
his title In the Civil War. He is sew.

Colonel Olcott was a newspaper man
and at the execution of John Brown

sophical society. For years these two
worked together with Colonel Olcott
as the organizer.
After tie woman's death he went to
India and from there has, in conjunc-
tion with Mrs. Annie Besant, directed
the entire movement. His authority In
the Theosophical society is supreme.
