Buff Lester comes to the front with the smartest dog named one that can count It has been tbe custom with the eook for tho family to make old Wade (that the dog's name) catch the chick ens three in number each aay for the ible. Tho other day it was decided that two ohickens would be sufficient for that day, aud when the dog had caught that number the cook took them In. When she reached the kitchen Wade was not far behind her with an other fowl in his mouth, making the number that he had been accustomed to catch each day.

Tho camera is becoming, as no doubt the phonograph will soon become, a recognized accessory of any historic ecene, The crowning incident of th3 Moltke celebration was a presentation to bim by the emperor, standing amidst a galaxy of fellow-sovereigns, generals and statesmen. The emperor concluded by asking the count to accept a new marshal's baton of silver magnificently inlaid with star's and crowns of rubies and diamonds. Count Molkte oould only find a few brief and incoherent words of reply, but ho took the emner-or's hand and imprinted on it a long and fervent kiss. A photographer in attendance seized the moment and tho negative will be developed by Professor von Werner's brush into a grand historic picture.

Another of the idols of the past has been shattered. J. Guthrie Watson, an Englisnman, denies the beauty of Circassian women. They have long been traditionally the most beautiful women of the world, but their beauty, he declares, from long acquaintance with their land, to be only for the native eye. What are called Circassian beauties are to be found not far from Batoum, in the small towns and villages and in the north of the Caucasus, but.

they are not beauties at all, and nine men out of ten would travel tbrougn those districts without noticing them. They are mostly poor peasant girls. They have lovely eyes, but without expression. Up to the age of fourteen they have nice features but after that age they become very coarse looking. He Looked Thin.

Johnny Harrington and Clinton King (who have strayed over from the Surf House, on the Point) Did you ever see a pirate or a sea serpen Skeeners, the Clam Man Pirates, you says? Many's the time I seen em. Once, when we was off Jibber-ralter, we was captured by ole Cap'n Kidd himself, an' Johnny Harrington I thought he was hung over a hundred and fifty years ago.

Skeeners, tbe Clam Man That's tbe story, but he wasn't, though; he got away the day before the execution, an went right at it ag'in. He must 'a'been pnrty old, though, when he caught us. He had a crutch in one hand an' his speakin' trumpet in the other, an' his belt was all stuck full of swords and horse-pistols. He says through his speakin' trumpet: "Make 'em all walk the plank!" he says. They aU had to do it till it came my turn; I says to him "Look 'ere, cap'n, live an' let live is my motter let's call this thing square.

says to him. He said he didn't have no hard feelin's, and he put me ashore at the next place we oome to. He was a good-hearted ole feller, when you got on the right side o' him. He told me tbe reason he got to bein' a pirate was on aooount o' goin' roun' the hotels when he was a boy, playin' pool for drinks, and so on. You was askin' me 'bout sea serpents, I bTieve.

W'y, I've seen 'em all sizes, from little ones to larger 'n that house o' mine up to great big fel lers twice as long as the hotel over yen-der. We got used to seein' 'em round tho ship, an' after awhile we didn't pay much attention to 'em. One of 'em got so tame he'd come up close an' git fed every mornin'. We al ways fed him two barrels crackers an' bundle o' salt codfish; we named him Billy, an' wo had an iron collar round his neck with a padlock on it Once we played a joke on him, an' only give him one barrel crackers. He was so mad, he rared right up out o' the 6KEEN3ERS SPINNING HIS TABN.

Poor ole Billy; he was the most sensitive critter I ever see. Clinton King Did you ever see a mermaid? Skeeners, the Clam Man Lots of 'em but I dnnno's I oughter tell you boys any thing about them gals; they don't dress nor act accordin' to the way folks is brought up round here. We used to pass right close to the rocks they was a-layin' on often, an it took me some time to git used to their ways; but after awhile I got to know some of 'em by sight, an' used to bow an' say "Good morning" to 'em. There was one of 'em in pertie'ler, a kinder sandy complected gal; she always used to kiss her hand to me when we was a-goin' by, and smile.

A man like you, thet's never hed tho gumption, to go more 'n two mile away from this place in his life, oughter at least be willin' to 'tend to the chores around the house without bein' drove! I'm gittin' clean out o' patienoe, an Skeeners, the Clam Man Wa-al, I'll hov to leave ye now.

JOHN CLARK RIDPATH'S STUDY OF THE "IWESSIANSC INSANITY." A Ielasim Prevalent Among: Opxiressed Peoples anil Races Resemblance of the Soudanese Agitation to the Ferment at the Sionx Reservations. Copyright by American Press Association. How sad are the delusions of the human race Among these none is sadder, none more fatal, than that form of ethnic insanity which expects a Messianic deliverer. It is a kiild of tribal or race disease which afflicts the mind, just as a physical malady EL. MAHDI.

attacks the body and destroys life. The tvild craze of the Indians of the western plains and mountains furnishes a striking example of the character and effects of this fearful disease. The law of hurnan history is that when any tribes or races of men are hard driven by a certain kind of distress an excited and highly morbid expectation of a Messiah appears among them. When it ha3 once appeared it runs its course like a contagion. The delusion seizes all classes, and all are insane together.

The iirst tiling to be noted about such a fact is that it requires certain peculiar forms of distress to produce it. It cannot be doubted tJiat the principal antecedent of the Messianic insanity is the oppression of ono race by another. This cause is always requisite to bring on the ethnic paroxysm. Without thi3 condition the belief in a phenomenal deliverance by a savior never arises. No ether kind 'of distress wiil produce it.

There may be earthquake and pestilence, ravages by Are and deluge, but these things are not sufficient of themselves to engender the delusion. The Messiah is ahvays expected in the character of a r.ice deliverer. It is the heavy hand of one race pressing upon the breast of another, with the consequent sense of sufi'ocation and despair, that produces the delirious dream of a raculous salvation. But while the oppression of one race by another is the prime cause of the debisiou, hanger and famine, either present or expected, are the occasion. Famine alone is not sufficient to brinj; on the fever.

Men may die of starvation; whole tribes and kindreds may suffer or even perish from hunger and thirst, and yet rivo no sitm of the Messianic delusion. It is only when the sense of race degradation is present that famine cries out for the Christ. The second thing to be observed is tho Messiah is always one of the suffering nice. He is not a deliverer from abroad, but one of the oppressed. Moses and the Christ are ever of the down trodden tribe.

No other than the pure seed of slaves is worthy to lift them up; noalien can he the swift coming avenger, the warringevangel of hope and restoration to tho tribes about, to perish. Thero is all tins a kind of loic the logic of insanity. "Tho broken syllogisms run thu3 through the fevered brain. We are oppressed by the strong and the wicked. They are invaders and aliens, for the laud was ours aforetime, and our fathers'.

It is ours yet, aud wiil be ever. Ve tried to free ourselves by battle to save ourselves by war but the oppressor vras strong and slew our people. Therefore is ho unjust. But there must be a deliver ance, and Hence a deliverer, lo, be comes quickly, and his vengeance and his reward are with him. The good Christ wiil lie one of us.

He will be on our side. Ho will love us and hate our enemies. He will fight our battles and the proud shall 1 ie low before him. Bahold wo starve. The children of our people are dying for food, but the deliverer will bring us plenty.

Ho will take from the haughty who have do-spoiled us their storehouses full of wheat, their vineyards and their cattle. Let us watch for his coming, for he will appear to-morrow. In this form and with this feverish dreaming, the delusive hope of a Messiah has returned in many ages and among many peoples. It is one of those misconceived phenomena which have led men to believe and say in the language of the aphorism that history repeats itself. The saying is not true; but it is truo in part.

That is, it. seems to be true just as tho retrctrrade movement among the planets A scorns to be retrogression. It is not true that human events ever como around aanin to whore they started. That were indeed impossible. It is not true that our race "runs in a circlo," returning ever into its old track.

It is not true thai the general aspect of history in any is the aspect that existed hi any former age. It is cot true, iu a word, that a given form of man life on the earth will recur again. Hut it is true that when certain special conditions are present in a given ae anil among a given people these conditions will be attended with consequences which may always be expected with the certainty of the calculus when tho samo conditions arise in other centuries and among other races. This it is that gives to history the principia of science. The oxnootiiT-PV of Messiah has hpen ene or tneso roourrmg phenomena, and taa delusion has oost mankind a considerable fraction of its sorrow.

In the last decade-we have had two notable instances of this strange race delirium. Ono of theje has been witnessed on the scene of the oldest nf mankind, and the other on our own western plains tho one in Egypt find the other in America. Tho reader may well he to note the anah oi tae the Indian Messiah. It was about the year 1SS0 that the name of the is, the Arabic Chri i of upper I began to be seer, in the Bevspapowof the wc-lern nations. But who wa lite Mahdi? The historical notes of the cart abound with references to his name.

At ihe bottom lies a Mohammedan superstit ion which runs back almost to the dJM of the Prophet. The third caliph ol Jv present day somewhat similar to that of the German peasants who hold to the tra dition that Frederic Barbarossa still sits nodding iu the cave of Salzburg, and will come forth when Fatherland is endangered. From this superstitious germ the delusion spread, and throughout the Mohammedan empire the ignorant end infatuated are ever ready to say, "Lo, here!" or 'Lo, there!" Sometimes several eastern mahdis have appeared at once. In 1883 there were at least three pretenders of this character. The Mahdi El Senusi appeared in Tripoli, another led the ignorant in Aidin, and the third, namely, the Sheik Mohammed of Dongola appeitrwl in tho Egyptian Soudan as the true El Mahdi.

He it was who, when Arabi Pasha was leading what promised to be a successful national revolution in lower Egypt, headed the wild natives of the Soudan in a war for deliverance from foreign domination. The fanatical Soudanese gathered by thousands to his Messianic banner, and it was by the swords of his followers that "Chinese" Gordon was hacked to death in the streets of Khartoum. To the student of history it must seem strange, indeed, that such a personage as Mohammed El Mahdi, pretending to the Messianic leadership of his people and jagerly welcomed by them as such, marching from village to village across the waste t. a a- mm- "WHEW? BAliBAROESA SITS SODDING." places of the rainless Soudan, should have reappeared as the pseudo Clirist of the Sioux among the rocks of the Had Lands and in the ghost dances of the plains.

THE TUNNEL AT PORT HURON. Something Ahoat the Men IVho Uud Chaise of tho Work. Sir Joseph Hobson and T. E. Ilillman are two men who have accomplished a great engineering feat the building of a mile tunnel with four miles of approaches Tinder the St.

Clair river at Port Huron, ft. 1 SIR JOSEPH HOBSON T. E. H1LLMA5. Micb.

The work was commenced over a year agoaud is now completed. The tunnel has no counterpart in this country, being, in fact, simply an iron tube 6,000 feet long and 20 feet in diameter. It will be used by the railroads, and will be opened for traffic in a short time. Sir Joseph Hobson, the man who planned the tunnel, was a railroad builder in Can ada aud the United States until 1870. He was Uie resident engineer of the Interna tional bridge at Buffalo, and was responsible for its successful construction.

Follow ing that he was made chief engineer for the Grand Trunk railway of Canada, and, backed by that company and the government, he built the Port Huron tunnel. He is a Canadian by birth and is about 55 years old. To T. E. Hillman is due the credit of tho actual work of building tho tunnel.

He lives at Sarnia, and is 50 years old. The President and the Ittormons.

While churches and social orders throughout other sections of the country have inaugurated a day specially devoted to the children, and have studied to surround it with the associations of music and flowers and pleasing exercises, the people of Utah have turned their thought to the claims of the aged upon tieir consideration. Their annual old folks' festival was held recently, and the reports indicate that it was observed with more than tho usual thoughtfulness and care. The old people on these occasions are made the special guests of the younger generation. Every one over seventy is in some way or other specially remembered. For those who are able to go, excursions and entertainments are planned, and the feeble are remembered in some pleasant way at their homes.

Such a custom may well spread over the country. It is w. 11 that the children should bave their day, but it is also fitting that the aged should not be forgotten. At the best their joys are not so abundant that any means of giving them pleasure should be thoughtlessly overlooked. Among the ancients, the aged were held in high esteem and treated with marked consideration.

In our own time, we are somewhat too apt to satisfy our conscience by repeating didactio precepts which we do not wholly foeh Wo tender to the aged a somewhat too formal courtesy, and we are content, and are too apt to think they ought to be, if they have warmth and food, and a place in the chimney corner. In the hurry and bustle of active life they are too often made to feel that they no longer have a part in the activities and enjoyments of life. Perhaps in many cases it is partly their own fault Fer-daps they have not remained so young as they might in their sympathies with with the active present Perhaps they have grown somewhatcensorious, somewhat distrustful, and somewhat given to complaining. But it may be, too, that they would not so readily have made these mistakes if they had not been made to feel that they were getting to be in the way, if they had been thought lessly overlooked again and again plans, pursuits and pleasures of those who are hurrying on after them. An old folks' day would be good, not only lor them, but for tho younger generation.

Its influence would spread out over many another day of the too swift ly passing years, and the effect upon the young would bo feit a more general habit of It is a beautiful custom that have sug gested, ar.d it should sr. out as fur as the influence of Children's day baa tone.
