Ostriches and Men.

Curious is the account of the camps
or little Kingdoms that the ostriches
mark out for themselves with invisi-
BILE but never to be encroached upon
boundaries. Inside that camp it will
bear no intrusion. but outside it in the
domain of its neighbor it is profoundly
Indifferent to the strangers wander
ings. Nor is it safe for the farmer to
presume upon his former acquaintance
with any bird, for the ostrich has not
wit enough to distinguish an old
friend from a new intruder nor suf-
fcient respect for his owner to except
him from his suspicious hostilities.

Mosre's Greatest Poem.

Morris, MINI.

Italia Rookh" was read universally
and translated into several European
languages. The poem has no lofty Mil
tonic flights, no hall Of Eblis reaching
the height of the sublime, but it is cal
culated to suit the taste of every order
Of the mind. Young and old, educated
and uneducated, comprehend its luxu-
rious imagery, sweet passages, fasci-
mating descriptions and gorgeous volup-
tuousness; hence the uncommon popu-
larity Of the poem. Those who have
hearts for the deeper things Of human
ity-what enjoyments come not from
external color, orient hues ana tyrian
purpleLwill prefer the heart which is
shown in many Of Moore's other pro-
ductions. Westminster Gazette.

indetible Ink Tree.

An indelible ink tree, known to bota-
nists as Semecarpus anacardium, is
chiefly found in India, but grows also
in north Australia and the West Indies.
It's nut supplies the natural marking
fluid. When dried for commerce the
nut is heart shaped and nearly black
and contains a black viscid juice. For
marking linen or cotton this juice is
mixed with quicklime. 1t can be made
into marking ink by treating the nut
with a mixture of alcohol and sulphur
ac ether and is also used for black
Yarnish.

A very stout lady while out walking
in certain part of Edinburgh came to
a gateway which appeared to be the
entrance to private road. Not being

at the entrance whether she could get
through the gateway or not.
The boy looked her up and down and
across. Then, winking to his friend,

LETTERS FROM
TINES READERS

Editor Times: Rev. o. Ellison
in scoring socialism kicks the
stuffing out of a homemade
dummy which he calls socialism.
| ask the reverend to stop kicking
the dummy and tackle the real
thing.
Socialism is not antagonistic to
religion-capitalism Is.
Capitalism compels the masses
of the people to break the golden
rule every day; compels most OF
them to work for bare existence.
And capitalism, in its commercial
madness, devours its own Babes
by putting them in the factory,
mill, mine or store, in place OF
giving them time to develop their
spiritual natures. 1t deprives them
of the frame of mind necessary to
develop their spiritual natures.
This is sufficient to demon
strate that capitalism is antagon-
istic to religion. 1t throttles re-
ligion and uses religious institu-
lions for its own purposes. IL
uses the pulpit to attempt to per-
petuate itself.
The republican party is made up
of Christians, infidels, atheists
and every other phase of religious
thought. The same is true OF the
democratic party, and the social
list party.
Directly, we have nothing to DO
with religion. 1t would be Just
as out of place for us to take
stand on religious questions as IL
would be for the republican OF
democratic party to do so.
Yours for a complete religious
liberty, w. RANKE.

stand taken by Mrs. II. X. on the
subject Of the disappointment OF
the religious sect who lately
gathered together at Duxbury,
Mass. expecting the end of the
world.
IL one reads ones Bible with
any attention whatever, one must
be convinced that We are indeed
living in the last days. The
Prophecies have given us with
much detail what the condition OF
the world and its inhabitants will
be at that time which conditions
plainly confront us at this present
day. 1t certainly is wonderful
that only a few here and there
seem to give any heed to what Is
standing at our very doors.
The end of time and the Second
Coming of Christ to judge the
quick and the dead. If agreeable
to Mrs. H. X, / would be pleased
to know her name and address for
the purpose of exchanging further
views regarding this vital subject.
Very respectfully,

of a rose scented June night!
But, spite of the roses and the
moonlight, when the latest novel,
the plays, the weather, had ex-

moment intruded itself, bringing
silence. Then the skeleton of
that first meeting came from out
