1h not widely different from other
big itien of the world. The greater
the crowd the greater the rash, and
the greater the rush the lean time we
Jiave to luquire into the condition of
our fellow man. We are mora like
ly to take him as ho appears to be.
If a man he well dressed and clean
and hears upon his oxtorior the man
ners of a gontleman well, we call
him a gentleman, and let him go at
that If he looks like a loufor or
acts like a loafer, weset him down as
loafer. In eithor case we may be
mistaken, but it goes. We haven't
time to investigate closely. If we
hod, life is so awfully short we
would probably devote the time to
something more cougoniul.
Knowing this, I always feel an un
usual interest (n the little knot of
my follow creatures in front of the
William street Burgeons' supplies
window. There is always about the
name uuralier of people there men
and boys very seldom personsof the
opposite sex. Business mon, clerks,
messenger boys, vagrants all en

kindman. It is barely possible the
poet dirtn't have this particular les
son in bis mind when he wrote.
It consists of the white and disor
ganized bones of some individual
whose usefulness on eurth closed not
with the end of the thing men call
life. Arranged in a New York show
window with an artistic hand these
relics of one who was horn, lived,
had a career and died appeal to the
ye of the living by way of instruc
tion, curiosity und entertainment
No fashionable garments from the
skilled bund of the London tailor
proclaim this a gentleman. No foul
smelling rugs call upon us to despise
him. He neither patronizes nor
commands, is neither a beggar nor a
borrower. He claims our passing
attention by neither dirt nor dia
monds. He neither articulates nor
is articulated.
Yot there isacertian fascination
In his very disorder. You find it dif
ficult to pass without counting up
his various particles, just to Bee if
they are afl there, although you
know it could make no possible dif

the same want of reason you feel as
If you must object to the arrange

by conventionality. And when you
join the great pushing throng still

serve so useful a turn, and if so,

A Stimuli Bird.
The old fable of the selfish dog
was admirably illustrated theothor
Sunday in the little "zoo" in Central
park. Only it wasn tadog. It was
a thing which is commonly supposed
to be a bird, and a remarkably funny
looking bird at that This ornitho
logical specimen bos a very long and
flat bill, from which 1 suppose it de
rives its name, if, by the way, that
is its name, of which fact I am not
exactly sure, but it fits him anyway.
To roturn to the story, this "spoon
bill, or "pelican, or dodo, or
whatever it was, had taken its seat
on the only box of food in one of the
large aviaiios.
The cage contained, besides this
creature, half a dozen pheasants, a
seagull, and some other specimens of
bird life, names unknown. The ef
forts of these to obtain some food
without the spoonbill seeing them
were ludicrous in the extreme. The
spoonbill bad a long, very long cork
screw neck, and no matter from
which point the uuf ortuate occupants
of the cage approached the box be
always saw them and went for them
with his enormous beak. .
He didn't eat anything himself, nor
did he appear to want to, but he sat
steadily on the spot, and the others
went hungry. I would have given
something to have bundled him off,
but he was too far from the edge of
the cage, and there were no keepers
to be seen. New York Horald.

I'lety and Fresh Air. .
It is not ulways the dullest or the
most immoral people who nod in
church or who fail to get anything
out of the sonnon. very often it is
those who are Busceptible to atmos'
pheric conditions. It sometimes seems
m if there had been some idea of in
consistency between piety and fresh
air when the most of our churches
were built. Scarcely a church in this
city can be properly ventilated when
it is filled with a large congregation.
Either there is intense heat and foul
air or windows are opened in such a
way as to produce a draft and send
cold chills creeping up and down one's
back.
After services are concluded, at the
time when all doors and windows
should be thrown wide on, every
thing is closed, and the stale and
polluted air is shut up for the next
meeting. A man or woman may be
moved by a powerful discourse, made
penitent by fervent prayer or up
lifted by btiautiful music in such an
atmosphere, but it iB deadly difficult,
and in nine easea out of ten there will
beno such result. It is easier to be
good when one is healthy and vital,
and there is no condition so essential
to health and vigor as pure, untainted
fresh air. Ohio State Journal.

Allcock's Fobocb Plasters were first In

not only continues, but steadily increases.
No other plasters have been produced which
train so many testimonials of high value as
those continuously acoorded to Ali.oock's

these exceptional tributes lies in the fact of
their being a medicinal and pharmaceutical

iB a most remarkable natural phe
nomenona groat, shallow salt lake
in a bowllike depression, the sink it

and three miles across. The basin
. all that portion of it not tulton up by
the lake is darling white with mil
lions upon millions of suit crystals.
In the center of the lake rises what
appears to he a cone shaped volcanic
peak. Should you take the trouble
to ford the lake and explore this peak

"I wasn't timing the horse, your

who will swear they passed me with
