EIske's Admiration for Darwin.

The biography of John Fiske con.
tains this comment in one of his let
ters from England: Darwin is the
dearest, sweetest, loveliest old grand
pa that ever was. And, on the whole,
he impresses me with his strength
more than any man I have yet seen.
There is a charming kind of quiet
strength about him and about every
thing he does. He is not burning and
eager like Huxley. He has mild
blue eye and is the gentlest of gentle
old fellows. None of these men
seem to know how great they are. But
Darwin is one of the most truly mod
est men I ever saw"

For the protection of the aboriginal
Australian race there are institutions
under the supervision of aboriginal
boards, where the blacks are housed
and encouraged to work, the children
receiving elementary education. The
work is usually carried on at mission
stations, but many of the natives are
nomadic in habit of life, and receive
food and clothing when they call, while
others buvFarely come under the no.

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
Temperamentai Mountain Canary Not
Blamed for Planting Hoofs in Back
of Her Only Friend.

Thinking the animal made a mistake
in not knowing whom she was kicking
or 1t was his fault because he forgot
to give her the usual chew Of tobacco,
Fred Wales of Grass Valley, Cal, who
carried his arm in a sling for some
time as the result of a kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner of fourteen
years for injuring him.
The mule is known to every en-
ployee of the mine, 450 in all, and
while there is no affection for her
among 449 of them, they all have a
wholesome respect for her in spite of
her contrary disposition. 1t is mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, 1t Is diff
ferent. He has worked with Bessie
for fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal. He excuses her
yagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions Of spoiled child.
1t is merely matter of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily, but not for long.
In the physicians Office he took Of
fense at a suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account of her
vfciousness and rushed to her defense.
s'It was perhaps my fault; it certain
Iy was not hers. Bessie either did not
know who it was when she kicked or
| had forgotten to give her the usual
chew of tobacco. I am willing to take
all the blame"

United States seashore Cities.

Seashore cities-small and sleepy
villages in winter, great, bustling cities
in summer-are now so numerous that
they can hardly be counted. They dot

gulf coast has any number of pretty,
salubrious bathing spots, and the Pa
cific- coast, from Gray's Harbor to San
Diego, abounds in ocean resorts. The
gulf coast and the lower Pacific coast
have the advantage, however, of all
khe-year-round bathing; the Atlantic
coast season is about three months
