The Husky Jamaican Didn't Care to
Work For Nothing.

The Husky jamaican Didn't Care to
Work For Nothing.
An English naval officer tells OF be-
fng on a war vessel which took pro-
visions to st. Kits, one Of the Brit
fish West India islands. A hurricane
had left many Of the inhabitants in a
destitute or even starving condition.
Hungry crowds gathered at the wharf
but refused to help unload the food
that was to be given to them unless
paid for their work.
A similar story sheds light on the
Jamaican negro. Some years ago n
hurricane devastated the island, and a
large relief sum was raised. much Of
It in England and the United States.
The committee having charge of this
fund sent a wagon load of lumber to
a husky black man whose house had
been scattered over the parish. He
and his family were living in a rude
shack. made out of odds and ends.

men who were unloading the material
in front Of his patch Of ground.
That's for your new house." was
the reply. Its from the relief fund
and won't cost you anything"

New York, Dec. 1O.-Politeness un-

Nagle and Miss Millicent Almy. Mr..
Nagle, a window cleaner, fell out of

Miss Almy's shoulders. Both sat
down upon the icy pavement.
Pardon me. Miss" said Mr.. Nagle,
rising with a courtly bow and extend

handsome young lady, smiling. She
accepted the proffered hand and rose
to her feet.

Almy as she adjusted her turban.
Mr. Maggie said that he very seldom
erred in that manner and that he
hoped she had not been alarmed. Pc
liceman Miller, who had seen from a
distance the old man caroming out OF
the window, arrived more out OF

He insisted upon taking brief cen

be persuaded that nothing had hap

Miss Almy assured Policeman Miller
that her own bones were in perfec'

Just at this moment a taxicab drove

A GROTESQUE BIRD.

Remarkable Assortment Of celors ~
the Brazilian Touean.
The very peculiar looking Brazilian
tird, the toucan, has body about az
big as that Of a good sized parrot, but
its beak Is very different and easily
its dominant feature, though this bird
is by no means lacking In bright and
striking colors. The toucan's beak IL
half as long as its body, and 1t is broad
and thin and set on edge vertically,
shaped something like blunted
scythe, with the slightly curving
rounded edge on top and ending with
q hook point turned downward-a re-
markable beak in size and shape-and
this beak is tinted with a remarkable
assortment Of colors. purple and red
and green and yellow, while around
the beak at the head runs a line OF
black.
The eyes Of the toucan are surround
ed by circles Of a bright light blue. and
on its breast, regularly outlined. is

RELIGION.

am neither preacher nor priest. burt
I never miss an opportunity to boost
religion.
As I meet men find those who re-
ject the claims of the religious life for
various reasons.
Some say:
When one takes the vows Of a re-
ugious life it is a mark of Intellectual
weakness.
Others say:
There is too much superstition in re-
ligion as taught by the churches.
And so on.
I do not argue with those who give
these reasons, because l know they
are not the real reasons they have in
mind. Indeed, syDpathize with the
mental point Of view of many of these
DIRECTORS.
Why?
Because believe that one Of the real
reasons why men reject religion Is that
a good deal that goes under that guise
does not ring true.
1t is safe to say generally that any
sort of religion which makes man
less a man. which narrows his intellect
or shrivels his heart, is not a religion
worth having.
But
Real religion. genuine religion. is ar
essential thing to one who wants Il
live full and rounded life
Without 1t he will lack that mastery
Of the spirit which gives one the full
conquest Of the art Of successful living
Because religion (from 'religio," t.
bind again Is simply the rebinding o.
ones soul to God, where ones soul be
longs.
So that. as I view it, he who reject
the religious life must accept mucl
mental unrest aud many moral doubt
tngs. I do not see how he can fine
| any good reason or motive for living.
The religious point Of view is tn
only one that satisfies the deepest ques
tionings and the highest longings.
| It sets things right. gives a correc
value to life and puts one in tune wit
| all things here and hereafter.
Religion rightly considered is not
question Of creeds or formulas or dc
nominations or of the failures of 9th
ers.
| Religion is life.
| And it IS life at its highest and best.

Glover Spiders.
A naturalist took q large spider from
his web under the basement Of mill.
put him on chip Of wood and Get him
anoat on the quiet waters Of the pond.
He walked all about the sides Of HE
bark, surveying the situation very care
fully. and when the fact that he was
really afloat and about 4 yard from
shore seemed to b fully comprehend.
ed he looked out for the nearest land.
This point fairly settled upon. he Inn
mediately began to cast web Tor It.
He threw 1t as far a. possible In the
air and with the wind. It soon reached
the shore and made fast to the spires
OF grass. Then he turned himself about
and In true sailor fashion began to
haul In hand over hand on his cable.
Carefully he drew upon it until his
bark began to move toward shore. As
1t moved the faster. he the faster drew
upon 1t to keep his hawser taut and
from touching the water. Very soon he
reached the shore and. quickly leaping
to terra firma. sped his way homewayd.
Thinking that he might be special
