Trans. attd finnUh Motto.

In Chicago there are a great many Finns. They are becoming thoroughly Americanised and with an acquirement of the English language they would soon be completely merged into the conglomerated American people. The Chicago Finns are, like their friends at home, very pious, and recently held a bazar A nirinsH biixl for ths purpose of raising funds with which to erect a cboich on the corner of Thirty- first snd HaWted streets. Thia bazar was great success, and before long this interesting people will own the edifice in which they hold religious services. If it were not that the older folks and the newcomers find it difficult to acquire a suf ficient knowledge of the English language to be able to worship in this tongue, the Finns ould be content to join the English churches, but the majority of them love to come together and exchange tales of their icy Northland, the beloved boms of their child hood.

Most of the Finlsnders of Chicago were Bailors or peasants at home, and here nearly all of them are employed on ths lake. They are a strong and sturdy set, scrupulously honest, and open-hearted. Considering thst they bsil from a moat rigorous and extreme northern climate, one would expect to meet mostly blondes among them but the very lucr that so many nave aars eyes and black or dark-brown hair proves their Mongolian origin. Ibe women speak with great animation of the good old times in Finland, and how they were oun to aiacara we picturesque ana neglige costumes of the fatherland. There they wore the pretty headdress, which only Finlsnders know bow to fold tastefully, the large silver brooch and the easy fitting loose dresses so characteristic of the Karelian races.

There they know nothing of corsets. bangs, toilet rouge, long trails, si a. and the everlasting American rocker if introduced in Finland would raie a great commotion ia their old-fashioned homes. The interior of the -Finnish peasant cot tagee are a great contrast to the neat home which the Chicago Finlsnders the latter being much more comfortable and most luxurious in comparison with the former.

But it is erroneous to suppose that everybody ia capable of performing this work. In the first place it requires a woman, because it calls for endless patience. It requires gentleness, with a slow snd gradual transition to more rigorous applications, and considerable experience, and unless one possesses the robust constitution, powerful muscle and strong fingers of a Finnish woman like Elli, it will not pay to accept a masseuse apprenticeship.

It is said thst Elli was obliged to adopt her profession at home when lur husband had been bedridden fur years, crippled with rheumatism, and utterly unable to work the poor wife, horrified at the prospect of ruin and misery, tired of quacks and doctors, conceived ths thought of rubbing it out of him. After long and obstinate perseverance she succeeded beyond expectation. From abject povesty and obscurity she stepped into wealth and prominence, an unheard-of thing in Finland, where the rich and poor remain for generations in their station. She now owns a fins farm and has an interesting family, and is especially proud ot her two tall and robust young sons, who manage her farm. A Free-trade Pleture.

New York Sun: There are 40,000 little children ia London who go breakfastless to school every morning. This ia the saddest feature of the great unemployed problem which agitates the metropolis. The matter has been urgently- brought before ths school board this week by delegates from the idle workingmen with a request that the city the in a tbe FORTY-FOUR RAGES, should fill the stomachs as well as' the brains of the little ones whose attendance it com pels. The subject has already been semi officially investigated, and the appalling I figures, which are daily growing, were found to be substantially correct. It is also said that a wholesome porridge ean be provided at a cost of only a half-penny per child.

It ia argued that, unless such an expedient is adopted, the compulsory education law might as well be repealed, for hunger for knowledge and hunger for food can never oo-exiet ia the same body, least of all in a child's.

to his "previous condition of servitude." He is kind, attentive and obliging, in the hope of the prospective fee, possibly, or be ia in dolent, neglectful and insolent what bis own color contemptuously term a mean nigger. any event, he has much to try hia pa tience, as has any human creature woo must cater to the public and try to please those who never were pleased with anything in their lives. It is charged that the negro porter always much more obliging to men than to women knowing who has the full pocket- baok, and -who is on a limited alii -ianpartial observation does not prove this. On tbe contrary, it will be seen that it is for the women chiefly that lis opens and closes'the windows, lowsis the Shades, gets out pillows, arranges the foot rest, dashes out to a junction restaurant for a sup of tea knowing well that the limit of kia compensation will be 25 cents. For the latter fact, as has been hinted abovj, the women are not to blame, for they seldom have much to give, except the few the very few who control their own income and spend it as they please.

Gave To Morh. Not long ago one of the latter fortunate. at the end of a lengthy Journey, handed the emissary of the Pullman car a coin of more than customary value. 'Don't do that," remonstrated a fellow traveler, a man of wealth and an old. expe- rienced worldling.

That's slwsys the wsy with women. hen they give with sny thing like liberality they give too much. The story may go for what it is worth, but it certainly, in thia connection, serves to "point a moral." if not adorn a tale. President Harrison, it is said, gives 25 cents, no matter how long hia journey, and no more. Chauncey Depew and Robert Ingersoll have the reputation of being liberal givers of fees.

When Vice President Morton visited President Harris in Indianapolis four years ago. he save both the engineer and conductor of the "special" that brought him to the Hoosier capital 100 bright, ne gold dollars, while it may be taken for granted that the fireman and the porter were remem bered with equal liberality. Individually and collectively, porters are of many types, rantrinar all the way' from grave to gay, from lively to serene. There bars been instances where they have helped unlawfully to the valuables of I I 7 ths "yscsr" posts. -their passengers, and hsve paid the penalty and there have 'been other cases where they hsve been the embodiment of honesty and fidelity.

Ths Bostoa Masu Soma time ago a Chicago woman an roots to Boston had an experience with one of the latter class. He was a big, raw-boned fellow, with a flat nose, thick lips, and black as Erebus. Hs had a long zig-zag scar down one side of his face. To add to his general un-canay appearance, he wore over his uniform a big ulster with a scarlet-lined hood, which lie drew over bis ears, the peak standing up like a threatening horn. But he belied his looks.

Free Silver Vote, Buffalo Ejqprcst: by the States they represent, there would appear to be 174 free-silver votes in the next House, supposing that all the Democrats from Illinois, Mich igan, uaio, Pennsylvania, xorx, sn New Jersey are for sound money. Soma ot the Representatives from these States voted for free silver last winter, but, on the other hand, a few members from Southern and Western brates voted against it. A majority will consist of 179 votes. The next House is dangerously close to free silver, if it has not complete majority lor it, A combination of the Democrats of tbe sound-money East- counting Ohio as such, with all the Repub licans, can muster 182 votes.

There are still. however, a few who will prob ably vote with the Democrats on the silver question. Eastern Supremacy Gone.

Kansas City Journal: It is aaid that when a man strives long and earnestly for snythins and success crowns his efforts he hss a feeU ing of regret that be has no more work to do. A vague feeling of unrest sit open him and he goes sbout with the idea that he should be working.

If this is true, then Professor lVDycbe, of the Kansas University, mass feel that his tims for regret his come. For f.urte!n months hs has been working, almost night and day, to make aa exhibit of the mammals ef North America at the World's Fair that will be an honor to the university and a credit to himself. To those who know Dyche and his methods it is unnecessary to ssy thst he hss succeeded in his undertaking. To those who do not know him the facta ma ccme somewhat of a surprise. From boyhood his life has been devoted to tbe study of animated nature, and aa hs grew in years so did bis smbition grow until now bis whole being is engrossed in the great work to which be has set his life.

Not content with, taking what was to be found in boks, and not true: ing the judgment of others, he has gone into the deepest wilds of tbe mountains from New Mexico to the far Northern British Columbia, and in their homes hss found the animals which he wished to study. Seeking them out dsy after day and month after month, hs has amassed a fund of knowledge poaccjeed by but lew men, and to-day prob ably knowa more about the home life of the larger mammals of the continent than any man living. The Journal has given space ia former editions to tbe work ot Professor Dyche, and has foretold what he intended do ing in the way of an exhibit, but as his work progressed it wss enlarged in scope and casaged in plan until now, that it is fiuished, the whole is far beyond any conception ak ths beginning. With the reiult of fourteen trips into the wildest part of the country at hand, the Pro. festor was enabled lo do the work that is im.

pusai ble snywbere elae in tbe whole world nd has accomplished that which no other maa or institution in the whole world can accomplish to-day. With over 3.0U0 speci mens to select from, the Professor hss tin. ished the tsxidermio work of an exhibit which will undoubtedly be one of the great est features of the World's When tbe work began in the summer of isst year he Profess or had a crude outline of what be in. tended to do, and as be worked with the ani mals be worked out in bis mind tbe general plan of tbe exhibit, until, when the mounting was finished, be had drawn a pi.tnra in his mind that will be one of ibe masterpieces of tbe gret Columbian Exhibition. Ca.etre War Horse.

To-day Professor Dyche will bgin the work of crating the mounted animals, which he has all ready for transportation, snd bv the last of December he will hsve seven ear. loads on tbe track an sd route to Chicago, where he-and his five- see slants wijl spend four or five months in placing them ia posi tion sad making the picture perfeo. Of the iui animals wnicn be takes, one is Comanche, the famous Custer wsr hoi se. which wss the sole survivor of tne maacre, and which died af Fort Riley last year. Tais animal has been mounted fur the Ijnited tstaus Government, but the university insisted thst it should remain ia the Kau.se exuibit at the fair and then it would be turned over to the govern ment.

The horse sands as natural aa in life and will be accoutered with the regulation saddle and bridle and draped in metnonana of tbe event of which ne i the sutvivor. In the immense semicircle on the north of the Kansas building. 8.1x60 feet, sill be grouped tbe other 100 animals. There will b3 twenty-three groups, each separated from the others bv a natural change in tba lay of tlie land. Tbe idea which tne Professor has orked out is at once unique and artist io.

Taere will be a vista of land embracing prairie, swamp, and mountain, and on thia will bj the various groups arranged in their natural habitats. Nine mooee. headed by the lordly bull, which stands 10 feet from the ground to the tip of hia broad antlers, will lorm two groups, and tbea will come the group of sis elk. with a regular World's Fsir king for a leader, five buffa oes, four caribou, nine male deer, five Virginia deer, seven Rocky Mountain goats, two grizzly bears, tea R.cky Mountain sneep. nine mountain lions ia three groups, sis antelopes, two wolverines, three immense buffalo wolves, two ocev.

two fishers, eight eovotea. ssven foxes. 7 two Canada lynxes, one Kansas wildcat, and. one jack rabbiC Tue enumeration of these irrouos and in dividuals gives little conception ot tbe work thst has ben dons or will be done in tbe Wv of mounting and arranging in groups. Eita -group will bs a picture taken from real life, as ths Professor has seen it during the many trips that be has taken after the -individuals that form the group.

Probably some of the more interesting groups msy be enumerated and described more in detail, without going oeyonu tae instructions oi toe i roresjor, who ia loth to let his plana be known until such time as tbe work is completed and in position lor exhibition. Moeae and Mcuntala Llona. The finest group by far is that of esvea mooes in their native swamns. This- s-roun is to be the most striking feature of tbe exhibit, and will be the first to strike the eye of the visitor when he enters the plans set apart fur the exhibit. The group of Rocky Mountain aoatt will be modeled something after the group as it is seen in the museum of tbe university.

The mountain 1. ons. in three srrouDs. will form three disiinet features in the lifs of that ferocious animal. Ths foreground of the ex.

hi bit will be occupied by two lions fighting over a deer that haa fallen prey to one of them. In contrast to this scene of contest ill be a croup of a lioness with her three young kittens playing about her. The liule animals, abowing the spots whioS tbe younar of all tbe cat tribe have, are frolicking about me motner just as tbe kittens of tbe bouse cat are seen every dsy. Then will be seen a mother lion, with two hslf grown kittens following her aa she wanders forth for food for tho family. Probably the group that will call forth the most ejaculation of surpnss will be ths group of buffalo wolves.

These three immense ani mals will give an idea of tbe wolf that few people have ever realised. The great, gaunt brutes are quarreling. over the carcass of a buffalo, and the expression that is on the faces of the animals is so savsga that it makes a shudder corns involuntarily to the spectator. Ths group of tuff.ilo will be worthy of cx- -amination, as being the finest group ot these lordly animate in the world. Not even the famed bull of the American museum can compare with tbe animals as they will be seen in the Ksnsss exhibit.

In Boozy Mountain sheep the Professor haa been peculiarly fortunate, and has aucaeaded ob.aining su jh a series of the auiina that was ab to form one of ths inndait groups in ths known world. Animals that areexeep ionally fine as to color and shape are to seen perched in natural positions abmt a craz that is ths exaot tsc simile of tne inouitu peaks from which they were ugh; doxn by tbe hunter naturalise.
