- Why does a dog walk roand in a lit

tbe grass or the snow to mate a com
fortable bed , Why does be lay his nose
on the pawsf Becunse his ancestors had
to keep their noses clear of tbe dust or
enow. says-. the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Why does a cat wash herself so carefnl
lyt Becanse her ancestors had to be
clean, or their prey wonld smell them
and escape.' Instances might te cited by
thousands of ancient habits preserved
I by animals long after they have ceased
ro ,ne nserni. ' isow, man noes exactly
the same : thing, withont knowing it
preserves innumerable habits for cen
turies after they have ceased to have any
meaning. - . . ..
Han as a street building . animal is
gnided - by instinct far more than by
reason. A. builder, is accustomed to
honses with windows all over. Suppose
he puts up a corner, house, where win
dows ore needed only on the front." Still
he makes Imitation windows on the
side wall.: vrith lintel, ledge and sills,
and in some cases actually paints sashes
and curtains -inside the frame. No mat
ter how hideous the result, he is accus
tomed to windows cn every wall, re
gardless of cost . ':' '
Posts are planted at street corners to
keep vehicles off the pavementi - Old
cannon were often need as being both
useful -and ornamental ships' -guns
sunk to the trunnions and'a round shot
lodged in tbe muzzle to keep out refuse.
The supply fell Short, but as . cannon
were popular they were made on pur
pose for corner posts. - ",f..-.,i.viv
Look at a corner . poet now, and yon
will see that it is shaped and banded
like an old gun, with a half ball on top
in memory of the round shot in the
muzzle. , Look at any iron railing.' The
poeta are shaped, like spears, shaft and
tip, in memory of some ancient, forgot
ten usage of weapons. Spears were used
for the fenciog of tiltyards in the tour
naments of the middlo agea
On gateposts yon will frequently find
a stone ball. Who wonld ever suppose
that the balls' on the gateposts were the
beads of tbe family enemies? It was
once the custom to stick your enemy's
gory head as a trophy on the gatepost
On the gates of towns were stuck tbe
beads of traitors, criminals and other
offensive persons. In old London, for
instance, the bridge, gate snd Temple
Bar were alwavs decorated with ghastly
relics of tbe kind, and the memory of
the custom survives on the gatepost of
modern suburban villas.
On the back of a man's coat there are
two buttons, becanse our ancestors
needed them as rests for their sword
belts. Now that women wear an irui
tation of men's coata, they have tbe
buttons, too, yet it never enters their
beads that they are only useful for the
-word belt And the modern dresa for
aword play has no tall buttons.
When railways first came into use,
road coaches were mounted on flanged
Lwheclsand hauled along tbe track by
the locomotive. Look at any Englinh
railway compartment today, and yon
will fk a tbat it ia molded and painted
in imitation of a stagecoach. Its scats,
shape, windows, doors and babacks are
imitations cf the forgotten mail car
riage. - The hairdresser's shop has a painted
r!e in front. That polotraa the sign uf
the old barber snrpeon and meant
"Hooilli'ttirg donobcro." How would
a modern snrgeon like such a sign in

. They tell the . tale even now among
the sal groves of the Berbulda hill And
for corroboration point to the roofless
and windowless mission bonse. The
great god Dnngara, the god of things as
they are, most terrible, one eyed, bear-,
ingthe' red elephant tusk,' did -it all,
and he who refuses to believe in Dun
gars will assuredly be smitten by the
madness of Vat the madness that fell
upon tbe sous B.nd the daughters of the
Bnris Kol when they turned aside from
Dungnra and put cn clothes. So says
Athon Daze, who is high priest of the
shrine, and warden of the red elephant
tusk. Bnt if yon ask tho assistant col-
lector and agent in charge of the Buria
Kol, be will langh not because he
bears any malice against missions, bnt
because be himself saw the vengeance
of Dnngara executed upon tbe spiritnal
children of the Bev. Justus Erenk, pas
tor of the Tubingen mission, and upon
LottS, Bis virtuous wife. .'' " h ': 7
Yet if ever a man merited good treat
ment cf tbe gods it was the reverend
Justus, one time of Heidelberg, who, on
tbe faith of a call, went into the wil
derness and took the blond, blue eyed
Lotta with him." ' "We will these hea
then now by idolatrous practices so dark
ened better make," said Justus in tbe
early days of his career. "Yes.- be add
ed, with conviction., "they shall be good
and shall with their bands to work
learn. For all good Christians must
work." And upon a stipend more mod
est even than that of an English lay
reader, Justus Erenk kept house beyond
Kamala and tbe gorge of Malair, be
yond the Berbnlda river close to the
foot ct tbe blue hill of Panth en whose
summit stands tho temple of Dnngara
in tbe heart of the country of tbe
Bnria Kol the naked, good tempered,
timid, shameless, lazy Buria Kol. i

Yon must be infinitely kind and pa

And Gnllio, the assistant collector of
the country side, "cared for ncno of

the diatrijitand the Buria. Kol Joved
him anii bronght him offerings cf
speared fish, crchids from "the dim,
inoibt heart of the forests and as much
game as he could eat In return he gave
them quinine, and with Athon Daze,
the high priest controlled their simple
policies.
- "When yon hove been some years in
tbe country,' said Qallio at the Krenks
table, "you grow to nnd one creed as
good as another, I'll give yon all the
assistance in my power, of course, bnt
don't hurt my Boris Ko!. : They are
good people, and they trust me. "
"I wjll : them the word of the Lord
teach," said Justus, bis round fnce
beaming with enthusiasm, "and I will
assuredly to their prejudices no wrong
hastily without thinking make. Bnt,
oh, my friend, this i& the mind impar
tiality of creed judgment belooking is
very bad.
"Heigli-hol'- said Gallio, i "I have
their bodies and the "district to see to,
but yon can try what yon can do for
their souls. ; Only don't behave as yon
predecessor did, or I'm afraid that I
can't gnarantee yenr life." ' . .

He went np to tho temple of Dnn-
gnra -to be snre he was new to the
country and began , hammering old
Dnngara oyer the head with an um
brella; so tbe Bnria Kol turned out nnd
hammered him rather savagely. I was
in the district and he sent a runner to
me with a note saying: 'Persecuted for
the Lord's- sake. Send wing of regi
ment' The nearest . troops were 200
miles off, but I guessed what he bad
been doing. I rode to Panth and talk
ed to old Athon Daze like a father, tell
ing him that a man of his wisdom ought
to have known tbat tbe sahib bad sun
stroke and was mad. You never saw a
people more sorry in your life. Athon
Daze' apologized, sent wood and milk
and fowls and all sorts of things, and I
gave 8 rupees to:: the shrdne ona told
Macnamara that he had been injudl-
ions, . He said that I had bowed down
!n the bouse of Rimmon, but if he bad
wily just gone over the brow of tbe bill
and insulted Palin Deo; the idol of tbe
Suria Krol, he would have been impaled
on a charred bamboo long before I could
have done anything, and then I should
have had to have banged Some of tbe
poor brutes. Be gentle with them, padri
-but I aoa't Itsnilt you'll do mucn,
"Not I," said Justus, "but my Mas
ter. -We will with the little children
begin. Many of them will be sick that
is so. After the children the mothers, j
and then the men. Bnt I would greatly
that you were in internal sympathies

Qallio departed to risk bis life in
mending tbe rotten bamboo bridges of
bis people, in killing too persistent
tiger here or there, in sleeping ont in
tbo reeking jangle or in tracking tbe
Suria Kol raiders who had taken a few
heads from their brethren of the Bnria j
clan. A knockkneed, shambling young
man was Qallio, naturally devoid of
creed or reverence, with a longing for
absolute power which bis undesirable
district gratified. " h;. "
No one wants my post be used to
say grimly, "and my collector oniy
pokes bis nose in when he's quite cer

Of all I survey, and Atbon Daze is my
viceroy."
Because Gallio prided himself on nis
supreme disregard oi nnman nie
though he never, extended the theory
beyond-his own he naturally rode 40
miles to tbe mission with a tiny brown
baby on bis saddlebow.
"Here is something for yon, pa an, '

Justus, and Lotta canght np tbe scream
inK morsel to her botoru and bushed it
craftily, while, as wolf bangs in the
field, Matui. wbo bad borne it and, in
accordance with tbe law of her tribe.
bad exposed it to die, panted wearily
and footsore in the bamboo-brake,
watching the bonse with hungry moth
er eyes. What wonld tbe omnipotent
assistant collector dot Wonld the little
man in the black coat eat ber daughter

Matui waited among the bamboos
through tbo long night and in the
mom in ir there came forth a fair, white
woman, the like of whom Matui had
never seen, and in ber arms was Matni

meditated revenge fofthe" tribal neglect
of Dnngara.' With Bavage cunning be
feigned friendship toward Justus, even
hinting at bis own conversion, bnt to
the congregation of Dnngara he said
darkly: "They of tbe padri 'a flock have
put on clothes and worship a busy god.
Therefore Dnngara will afflict them
grievously till they throw themselves
howling into the waters of the Berbul
do?" At night the red elephant tusk
boomed and groaned among the bills,
and the faithful waked and said: "Tbe
god of. things as tbey are , matures re
venge against the backsliders. Be mer
riful, Dnngara, to us, thy children, Snd
give us all their crops I"
Late in the cold weather the collector
and bis wife came into tho Buria Kol
country. "Go and look at Krenk's mis
sion," said Gallio. "He ia doing good
work in his own way. and I think he'd
be-pleased if yon opened the bamboo
chapel that be has managed to run up.
At any rate, you 11 aee a civilized Bnria
Kol."
Great was tbe stir in the mission.
Now he and the gracious lady will
that we have done good work with their
own eyes see, and yes we will bim
our converts in all their new clothes by
their own hands constructed exhibit. It
will a great day be for the Lord al
ways," said Justus, and Lotta said
Amen."
Justus had, . in hlaaaiet way felt
jealoua of the Basel weaving mission,
his own converts being unhandy, bnt
Athon Daze bad latterly induced some
of them to hackle the glossy silky fibers
of a plant that grew plenteonsly on tbe
Panth bill, It yielded a cloth white and
smooth almost as the tappa of the south
seas, and that day tbe converts were to
wear for the first time clothes made
therefrom.' Justus was proud of his
work. '
' "Tbey shall in white clothes clothed
to meet the collector and his well born
lady come down singing 'Now tbank
we all our God.' -Then he will tbe
cbapel open, and, yes, even Qallio to
believe will begin." Stand so, my chil
dren, two by two, and Lotta, why do
tbey thus themselves scratch t It is not
seemly to wriggle, Nala, my child. The
collector wiU be here ami be pained."
Tbe collector, bis wife and Gallio
climbed tbe hill to the mission station.
The converts were drswn np in two
lines, shining band nearly 40 strong.
"Hah I" said tbe collector, whose ac
quisitive bent of mind led bim to be
lieve that he bad fostered tbe institu
tion from the first
"Advancing, I see, by leaps and
bounds."
Never was truer word spoken. . Tbe
mission was advancing exactly as be
bad said at first by little bops and
shuffles of shamefaced uneasiness, bnt
soon by the leaps, of fly stung . horses
and the bounds of maddened kangaroos.
From tbe hill of Panth tbo red elephant
tusk delivered a dry and anguished
blare, Tbe ranks of tbs converts wav
eted, broke and scattered with yells and
shrieks of pain, while Justus and Lotta
stood horror stricken... "
"It is tbe judgment of Dnngara I"
shouted a voice. "I burnt I burnt To
the river or we diel"
The mob wheeled and beaded for the
rocks tbat overhung tbe Berbnlda,
writhing, stamping, twisting and shed
ding its garments as it ran, pursued by
tbe thunder of the trumpet of Dnngara.
Jnstns and Lotta fled to tbe collector
almost in tears.' "
"I cannot understand I Yesterday,"
panted Justus, "they bad tbe Ten Com
mandments What is this t Praise the
Lord, all good spirits by land or by sea.
Nala I Ob, shame I" - .
With a bound and scream there
alighted on tbe rocks above their beads
Nala. once the pride of tbs mission,
maiden of 14 summers, good, docile snd
virtuous now naked as the dawn and
pitting like wildcat
"Was it for this I" she raved, barl
ing ber petticoat at Justus. . "Was It
for this I left my people and Dnngara
for tbe fires of your bad placet Blind
ape. little earthworm, dried fish tbat
yon are, yon aaid tbat I should never
burn! Oh. Duncan. I burn now I
burn now I Have mercy, God of things
as tbev arel" -
She turned snd flung herself into tbe
Berbulda. and tbe trumpet of Dnngara
bellowed jubilantly. Tbe last of the
converts of tbe Tubingen' mission bad

If any one is anxious to convert tbe
Buria Kol afresh, there lies at least the
core of, a mission bouse under tbe bill
of Panth. But the chapel and school
have long since fallen back into jangle.

In the life of Henry Bradley Plant is
a story which shows tbat mercy may
sometimes temper justice to good effect
by awakening in an offender a loyalty
which he has never before shown.
Mr. Plant was one day traveling in a
baggage war when be saw an express
man, in handling a box marked
"Glass," turn it wrong sids up.
Herel" be celled to tbe man. "Tbat
box is marked 'Glass' and should be
kept glass aide np. as. Indicated."
"Ob, I know it's marked 'Glass, ' "
said the expressman, "bnt I never psy
any attention to that"
Mr. Plant said no more, but later.
wben the superintendent of tbe office
was alone with tbe man, he asked him:
'Do yoa know wbo that gentleman
was Who spoke to yon about tbs box
marked 'Glass!' " ,
"No, sir." ,
"Well, tbat was Mr. Plant"
"Then tbat means my dismissal"
"I think it does. I shall have to dis
miss you."
Later tbe superintendent said to Mr.
Plan, "I shall dismiss tbat man, of
course!"
No," said the president, "don't dis
charge bim. . Call bim into your office
and impress It upon him that tbat ia
not tbe way the company does its busi
ness. He won't forget it"
He did not forget it. No more loyal
employee was to be found in tbe com
psny. - --

"Please, sir," be aaid. "will yon give
me a nickel to get a cup of coffee I"
He waa given dime. The following
week tbe man was stopped again. This
time tbe beggar wanted "dime to get

Tha Skylark.". '
Need I say a word about tbs skylark
and its wholly jnyons song! It inspired
one of Jeremy Tsylor's most beautiful
and best known passages tbe lark ris
ing from bis bed of grass and soaring
upward, singing as be rises snd hoping
to get to besven and climb above tbe
clouds; singing "as if it bad learned
music from an angel as be passed some
times through tbe air about his minis
tering here below." And it inspired,
too, one of tbe finest odea in tbe Eng
lish language, Shelley's finest work, his
"supreme ode. But as may be said
of another ode, it la "not in tans with
the bird's song and tbs feeling it does
and ougbt to awaken. Tbe rapt ore with
which tbe strain springs npat first diet
down before the close into (Shelley's
ever hsnntlng melancholy."
Like Keata' "Ode to the Nightin
gale," it is no key to tbs bird's song.
It does not teach ns anything of tbe
thought and feeling which inspire tbat
quivering, ascending embodiment of
joyoasness, that pilgrim of tbe sky,
hiding itself in the glorious light of tbs
summer heavens Tbe skylark may be
beard as early as January I heard it
this year in November as msy also the
rarer wood lark, whose song, uttered
from trees or when flying, we recognize
from its likeness to tbat of tbe skylark.

Gambling is prohibited in every large
club in New York city, and in most of
them tbe members wbo live in the club
house find that it ie aewieo to give
poker parties la their rooms, One of the
charter members of a club wntca now
numbers more than a thousand mem'
hers said last week tbat this club wss
started by a lot of men wbo played
poker regularly for high takes." "Poker
for high stake hi still played in this
city." he said, "but not by the same
claas of men tbat started tbia dub, I
have sat la wben men at tbe table lost
fl 5.000 or $20,000 ia a night and on
the whole it was a very costly amuse
ment for me, ranch as I enjoyed it
"Tbe men in that little coterie wbo
played poker were either wealthy men
themselves wbo coufif afford it or tbe
sons of wealthy men, and from tbe lat
ter I received a good msny I O. U's,
which I still have. Tbe men wbo played
were supposed to be gentlemen. When
tbe club waa organised, ws . played
there, snd other member did not criti
cise as. That sort of gambling does not
exist ia any decent club in Xew York
bow It wotted oot lis owa a la.iau
dob. Men wbocoold not aQord to lose
lost heavily. Several disagreeable clot
scandals came of it and tbe game was
stopped. That sort of play is now ten
for the prof regional gambler, and tbe
elobs are free from It Jew lori
