It Is the rule for human hu-man life enunciated by the Author of Christianity. It is the basis of that brotherhood which the Gospel proclaims pro-claims and which it secures as fax as it prevails. And yet there are those who tell us that this . rule was not original with Christ that He found it in the writings of the religious teachers teach-ers who went before Him. But when we examine those older rules we find that they are radically different from those of our Lord. They are negative merely, while His is positive. They tell men what they should not do. while He tells them what they should do, as the following will show: Confucius Con-fucius fe. C 500): "What you do not like when done to yourself, do not do to ethers." Isocrates (B. C. 400): "Do not do to others that which would make you angry if done by others to you" Hillel (A. D. 1): "Do not unto another what thou wouldst not have another do unto thee." C-irizt (A. D. SI): nd as ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to tbem."

Locusts as Food. Ixmdon Poet: In Morocco at this time entire wagon loads of locusts are brought to the market in Fez. because they form a regular article of food for the Moors who inhabit this part of North Africa. Here, also, the locusts are eaten in every style, pickled.salted, simply dried, smoked, or in any other possible way, except raw. The negroes on the northern coast of Africa prefer locusts to pigeons, and they eat from 200 to 300 at a sitting. They remove head, wings and legs, boil them for half an hour in water, then add salt and pepper, and fry them in vinegar. In a similar way locusts are prepared at other points in Africa and Asia Preserved in salt pickle they form a staple article of commerce. Locusts in Africa are also compressed, when fresh, in barrels, and are then dished out like butter at meal times. New Dining Car Service.

Among the Insects whose proceedings proceed-ings sometimes BUggest the thought that they are guided by something closely akin to reason are the solitary wasps. These wasps kill caterpillars, spiders and other insects by stinging them, and then bury the victims In burrows containing their own eggs, thus furnishing food for their larvae as they hatch out. ' The operation of making and closing up the burrows, aa described by Dr. and Mrs. Peckham in Bulletin No. 2 of the "Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey," Sur-vey," is very interesting, and particularly partic-ularly the occasional use by the wasps of a small stone to pound down the earth.

There Are Really Only . Four of Them. There are only four simple taste sensations, sen-sations, namely sweet, bitter, soui and salt. It is said by some that ther are only two, sweet and bitter. All other sensations which are "commonly called tastes are complex results ol sensations of smell, touch, temperatur and sight. The means by which we distinguish almost all of our common food ai-d drinks is not the sense of taste so much as it is the sense of smell, touch, temperature and sight. All the fine differences by which we distinguish the various fruits, me-tts And drinks depend not upon taste at all nut upon these other senses. A proof of these facts may be given by merely blindfolding the eyes and closing the nose and taking various kinds of foods and drinks in the mouth without swallowing swal-lowing them. It will then be found that it is quite impossible to distinguish distin-guish many of the commonest foods and drinks. It is, of course, generally known that what Is popularly mistaken for the taste of coffee, tea and wine is only their aroma. Hall's Catarrh Cnre Is a constitutional cure.

There was an accident on a Portland street the other day, and this is how it happened: A tramp walking up the street saw a benevolent looking wheelman wheel-man riding down and started to head him off. Just then a dog on the same side of the street noticed a cat on the opposite side and made for it. "The dog didn't notice the tramp, and the wheelman took no account of the dog. The result was that the dog went between be-tween the legs of the tramp and rolled that individual over on his back. The wheelman struck dog and tramp and took a header over them. The wheelman wheel-man struck frantically at the dog and his blow landed on the nose of the tramp, whle the dog made an assault on the tramp, and, missing him, made life exciting for the wheelman. At last they untangled themselves, and the tramp and the wheelman trailed bad language, one up and one down the street, while the dog stood and growled at both. Meanwhile the cat emerged from a hole in the lumber pile where she had taken refuge and watched the three with evident interest. Lewiston Journal.

"What horse was that I heard galloping gal-loping about in the night?" inquired Mr. Hall on the following morning. "Did any break out of the paddock?" "No, sir; it was Baynes," replied one of the hands. "He rode up in the night." "Baynes? What did he come back for?" "He said they were all drunk and fighting down at Sullivan's, and he could find no place to sleep in, so he rode home." "He must go back at once then; I can't have those pack-horses hanging about down there for days together." "He has gone, sir. He started off at daylight." "That's all righ then," said Mr. Hall. When the men who slept in Bob Luke's hut got up that morning, they noticed that he had already gone out. "I wonder what made Luke turn out so early?" one of them remarked; but no further notice was taken of his absence ab-sence until breakfast time. "What's become of Luke?" asked. a stockman, as there was no sign of him when that meal was nearly finished. "You had better put that stew on the fire to keep hot for him. Maybe he is out after some of the horses." Dinner-time came, but no Luke; and shortly afterwards Mr. Hall happened to want him. "No one has seen him this morning, sir," was the answer he received. "We can't think what's become of him." "No one has seen him?" repeated Mr. Hall. "What do you mean? He slept on the station last night, I suppose?" sup-pose?" "He slept in my hut," replied the man, "and turned In as usual last night. I noticed that in particular, because be-cause he was the last in bed. and had to put out the light. When we awoke this morning, he was already up and out, but we didn't take much notice of that." "Had his bed been slept in?" "I suppose so, sir. 1 never looked. He went to bed, I am sure, as I lay awake for a good ten minutes after I turned In, and I never heard him go out." "Come with me to the hut and show me his bunk," continued Mr. Hill. The bunk that Luke was in the habit f sleeping in had evidently been used, but the blankets had not been turned down. "There is his hat," cried a man, "and there are his boots on the ground! That's odd anyhow!" "Perhaps he put on another pair," suggested the squatter. "No, sir. Bob Luke had only this one pair, which, as you see, are pretty wen worn tnrougn. lie was saying only the other day that he' wished the drays would hurry up, as he wanted a new pair." "It certainly Is very singular." mused Mr. Hall. "He hadn't been drinking, had he?" "No, sir. He's never had a drop of anything since he's been on the station that I know of." "Did he ever seem queer In his head or strange in any way?" "Never a bit, sir. Rather the ether way on. There's nothing wrong with Bob. He's no more chancy than I am." "Well, some of the men hr.d better go out at once and have a look for him. If we do not find him by sundown, sun-down, I will send over to Mount Gipps and Inform the police-sergeant. There are black trackers there who will soon trace him." Men were accordingly sent out in every direction, and the country was scoured for several milps around; but no sign of Bob Luke could be discovered. discov-ered. Mr. Hall began to feel uneayy, wondering won-dering what could have become of the man, and, -when evening approached, Jack Hall started off to inform the police at Mount Gipps, eoma forty miles away". Towards nightfall the pack-horses arrived with Tom Baynes from Sullivan's Sulli-van's public-house. Mr. Hall met them as they pulled up at the store. "This is a very strange affair about Bob Luke, isn't it, Tom?" he remarked. re-marked. "Yes, sir," replied Baynes, busying himself In taking off some of the packs. "I heard of it down at Sullivan'sfrom Sulli-van'sfrom one of the chaps. I wonder won-der where he can have got to?" "You came back to the station in the night. I Buppose you saw nothing of him?" "No, sir; but I didn't look about me much, as it was all I could do to see the track." "You galloped fast enough up past the huts. I heard you from the house, and thought it was a horse broken loose from the paddock." "Yes, sir; the old mare started off with me-when she got near home, and I couldn't hold her in." "And you saw nothing of Luke?" his master again asked. "No, sir nothing!" "What made vyou come back from Sullivan's?" Mr. Hall had already been told the reason, and Baynes' reply was simply a confirmation of what he had heard. The men at the public-house were all more or less drunk and fighting, and he could find no place to sleep In. The old mare was handy, as he had left her in the stock-yard with a good feed, and he thought he would be able to fr..i hi way back to the station, and retv.rn early to the drays the , next morning. Mr. Hall became more and more perplexed per-plexed about Luke's disappearance. "If he had been drinking heavily." he said to his wife, "no one would feel in the least surprised. But the man was sober enough, and showed no signs of eccentricity, so far as I can find out. It beats anything I ever ex-.' perienced. Perhaps he will turn up in the morning, and we shall find a very simple solution to the puzzle after all." The morning came and went, and day after day passed by,; but no Robert Rob-ert Luke appeared. , The mounted police, with the black trackers, scoured the dountry for over thirty miles around, and left hardly a rock or a patch of scrub onsearched. Every building on the' station had been examine", and there only re- ! mained Tom Baynea' hut to TisiL Baynes was the first to suggest that it honld he searched. , Th -' oaea a lot of talk, I -know. sir," he said, "about my wife's shutting herself up so. Poor thing, she can't help that I wish she. could get about so I should like the sergeant to satisfy himself that Luke isn't in hiding there!" "Nobody would be foolish enough to suppose he was, Baynes," replied Mr. Hall, smiling at the young man's anxiety; anxi-ety; "but we had better, as you say, look everywhere while we are about it." Mr. Hall had really a secret desire to behold this hidden treasure in the way of a wife, who was so persistently sheltered shel-tered from the vulgar gaze. Accordingly Accord-ingly he made one of the party to examine ex-amine the hut. When the troopers knocked at the door, it was standing a little way open. "Come in," said a low voice. Half-sitting, half-reclining upon the" bed which occupied one corner of the one room the hut possessed, dressed In the ordinary printed calico gown of a working-woman, a shawl over her feet, and some needlework on which she was engaged upon her lap, was Mrs. Baynes. Her jet-black hair was neatly smoothed in front and braided at the back, and her rale face ajid nervous manner denoted the invalid. She wore colored spectacles. "Very sorry to intrude, Mrs. Baynes, I am sure," said Mr. Hall, "but we are compelled to search everywhere for this lost man. Your hur-band has no doubt to'.d you s ut it?" "Yes, yes," replied Mrs. Baynes. "It seems very strange that he should have gone on like that!" "What a nice -voman," thought Mr. Hall, "and a Oood-looking one, too! It's a thousand pities that she should be broken down. No wonder Baynes is careful of her." Then he said aloud. "If we were only certain that he had gone off somewhere, it would be satisfactory, sat-isfactory, but we can find no traces of him anywhere. Besides, a man does not run off in the middle of the night without his boots, leaving two or three months' wages behind him, unless un-less he has a very important reason for doing so." There was 'very little for the sergeant to inspect in the hut a deal table, two rough benches, the bed upon which Mrs. Baynes reclined, and which had no hangings or drapery upon it that could conceal anything, and one or two small boxes containing clothes. These articles made up the entire furniture of the apartment. The walls, which were of roughly-hewn slabs nailed to the frame the hut, were carefully papered over with old Sydney Morning Heralds, while the two small window-frames window-frames were covered with calico. A hut which is built for the dual purpose pur-pose of cooking and sleeping in generally gen-erally has a large fireplace which entirely en-tirely occupies one end of It. Such a one had this, and upon the hearth there blazed a log-fire, beneath a kettle ket-tle which hung from an iron bar. Altogether the visit to the hut did not occupy above five minutes. The sergeant declared himself satis fled, and Mrs. Baynes, rising from the bed, begged Mr. Hall to stay and accept ac-cept of some tea. "The kettle is already on the boil, sir," she said. "Pray do not disturb yourself, Mrs. Baynes," the squatter answered, as she stood up. "We are too sorry for having hav-ing had to come at all!" When the search-party had withdrawn, with-drawn, the sergeant remarked to Mr. Hall "That's the woman, I suppose, I've heard so much talk about the one people said was mad and shut up here!" "I dare say," replied Mr. Hall. "People "Peo-ple say all sorts of things. She's the cook's wife, and is a hopeless invalid, but she is very good at her needle, and my wife is uncommonly glad to have her here. Poor thing, she looks very white and ill!" The disappearance of Bob Luke remained re-mained a complete enigma. The colonial papers, under the heading head-ing of "The Mysterious Disappearance on rhe Barrier Ranges," suggested all sorts of solutions to the riddle, and penny-a-liners found in it a large scope for their imaginations. All the remarkable disappearances that had ever been recorded were brought to light again, and, as a last loophole out of the difficulty, it was suggested that the man had for some urgent reason determined to lose his identity, and so had gone off, leaving his boots behind him in order to throw people off the scent. Like most other mysteries, this soon became a thing of the past. The subject sub-ject at last grew monotonous, and in a very few months pepple had ceased to think any more about It. What, after all, was a bushman more or less of whom no one "knew anything and for whom nobody cared? CHAPTER IX. Sullivan's public-house, the thorn In every squatter's side for thirty miles around, was a small wooden shanty consisting of four or five rooms. At the back .was a building containing ten or twelve sleeping bunks. This was called the dead-house, as it was used chiefly for putting customers Into when they were dead drunk. Outside the house, facing the mail-track, was a verandah, if a continuation of the shingled roof supported by rough posti stuck into the bare earth could he dignified by the name. Beneath the shade of this rough verandah, one hot afternoon, lay two or three drunken wretches overcome by the fumes of the lightning rum. Inside In-side the bar were five or six bushmen busily engaged in throwing .dice for drinks. "Odd man out" was the game, and at the rate of one shilling per nobbier the amusement could hardly be considered a cheap one, especially when the" after-effects of the "lightning" "light-ning" upon the consumer were taken-into taken-into consideration. Very few station hands on their way down to town ever succeeded in getting past 'Sullivan's; fbme had attempted it a score of times and failed. Even before the unhappy pigeon had arrived the news was brought that "Long Jim" was "going down to Sydney with a big cheque." "Let me see Jim must have been over, two years now on the station since he had his last burst," the bloated-looking ruffian of a landlord would remark. "I dare Bay he's got over a hundred pounds!" And when Long Jim hove in sight he was sure to he hailed by half a score of loafers and pressed to stop the night. No he had determined to push on tc the neitt stage. His horse was fresh, and he was anxious to get on. Well, he would stop and have a plate of soup and a bite? No he had got some "tucker" with him. "At any rate you'll have a drink?" some one would cry. No, he was "on the teetotal tack. "Well, you ain't a-goin' off like that without shoutin', Jim!" one of the loafers would suggest. "Shout?" the pigeon would cry, thns probed in his weakest part. "Of course I'll shout! There's nothing mean about me, anyhow. What are you all going to have? Drinks all round, and one for yourself, Sullivan." "You must have a small drain, too, Jim, Just to show -that there's no ill will, you know," the landlord would suggest. "Oh, not for me, Sullivan! I know your game of old. Weil, Just to show there ain't no animosity, give me a small drop of what you've got. Here's better luck!" (To be Continued.) POKER PLAYING WARRIORS. A Former Police Captain Recalls ' Some Kiparteucrs. Former Police -Captain Thomas Reilly was an inveterate poker player, and, according to his antagonists in the many games in which he played a small hand, he was a particularly good one, too. Captain Reilly tells many amusing s'.ories - of the poker games in which' he had been a participant,, partici-pant,, and dwells particularly upon the natural bent of the rank and file of the United States Army to "dally with the cards" when finance will permit. Captain Reilly was a veteran of the war, having been in the regular army for many years. He served against the Indians on the Western frontier, and when the North and South began their little unpleasantness he went with his regiment to the South and fought through the war. Talking with a party of friends the other evening, the conversation drifted around to poker and poker players, and Captain Reilly surprised his auditors by the many stories he told about his experiences exper-iences when in the army. "The main pastime in the army," he said, "was poker playing, and so long as the money lasted so long was the game continued. I have seen an army paid off and iromediatedly thereafter form groups of six and seven and start playing play-ing poker. The men were only drawing draw-ing $12 a month, but they had no expenses, ex-penses, and were perfectly satisfied, after providing themselves Nvith tobacco, to-bacco, to , devote tbe balance to wooing the fickle goddess. "These men would play, every few minutes one or two 'going broke' and stepping down and out, until finally only one or two men in each group would have any money. Then they would move over to some other game where the circle was incomplete and would Join in, and finally the entire pay of the regiment would be in the hands of five or six successful players, who would be betting bet-ting thousands on a hand. In the end two or three men would have the entire en-tire amount paid to the regiment, and they would hold the money until they neared some city where, with leave for a few hours, they would veniure away from camp and in nine cases out of ten leave the money in the city against faro, roulette or keno. "I left the regiment reg-iment once on a furlough to come North and carried a great portion of the monthly payroll in a belt under my uniform, but I was lucky. Our greatest difficulty was to secure playing play-ing cards, and I have sat and played for hours, half of the deck being torn or marked,-but it was as fair for one aa for the other, and as they were the only ones we could get nobody objected. ob-jected. It was strange, -however, to sit next to the dealer and want a diamond dia-mond to fill a flush and see the marked Jack of spades on the top of the deck. Those were great days for poker playing play-ing and I have never seen anything since to compare with it, although I have played in some pretty stiff games myself." RUSSIA AND PAX VOBISCUM. In Its Policy of Spoliation There Has Been No Sign of Peace. The bishops and the Salvationists and all the sentimentalists are still busy with their hosannas, of course, but there is not a man in England who has to deal practically with affairs who believes that the scheme is honest. hon-est. Why, he asks, was the moment chosen by Russia to declare in favor of peace? Has not her policy for years past, in the far east especially, made directly for war? She has been aggressive, unscrupulous, untruthful In her dealings with China, with Japan and with England; she scared Japan out of the Llaotung peninsula, and claimed it for herself; she bluffed England Eng-land out of Manchuria, and she now claims it for her sphere of influence. In all this policy of spoliation thero was no sign of peace, nothing that suggested the temper of conciliation. If we had had a statesman with grit at our foreign office the czar's government gov-ernment would have received an ultimatum ulti-matum months ago, and even Lord Salisbury could not have withstood the indignation of the country many weeks longer. At an early date there must have been war between this country and Russia, with the alternative that Russia should give up her pretensions In northern China and her sinister policy at Pekin. The issue was clear, but Count Mouravleff evades It by coming com-ing forward smilingly with thia evangel evan-gel from his august master. "Let ns forget all the past," he seems to say, "all the lies I have told you, all the tricks I have played upon you. Think no more cf the fortifications at Batoum or Port Arthur, trouble no more about the huge navy Russia is building. "We have worried each other a great deal lately. Let us have peace now that I hare got tbe spoil." It Is all very pretty and very pleasing, but this form of repentance at the eleventh hour is not likely to deceive any 'man of sense In England. From the patriotic Eng lish point of view this rescript is "a fraud. Saturday Review. Contacted. dis eemman Dewey reg'larly con nected wif de navy depahtment?" asked one colored 'citizen.

The first thing that a human being should rec7 ognize about himself is that his character char-acter is his distinguishing feature. It is not the amount of money, the amount of power, the amount of brains that a man has that is his distinguishing feature, but his character. Whatever fellow-men may temporarily say or do to the contrary, this i3 a fact that what separates him from others and gives him his individuality is his goodness good-ness or lack of goodness, according to its degree. Money, power and brains have their place, and they do exert an influence in temporarily deciding a man's position and recognition. But the standard of the ages, by which any one and everyone is tried, is character; and in God's sight, which Is the final and determining sight, men are what they are in their wishes and purposes. It is not, then, too much to say that the supreme ambition of a person's life should be to secure a worthy character. char-acter. Everything else, however important, im-portant, is merely subsidiary. Beauty of person, brilliant achievements, acuteness of intellect, sway of authority, author-ity, are secondary, while goodness is primary. J. G. K. McClure. Fertile Ijsnds of Colorado. The traveler who visits Colorado for the first time is surprised and impressed with the opiortunities the state affords in agrl- cultural pursuits. Tho mineral wealth of I the state, with its many famous mines, Beems to have become fixed in the minds of strangers, crowding out all knowledge of her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought is ever given to the 12.000 miles of lrriga-gation lrriga-gation cauals that have been constructed, and the 2.000,000 acres of land which have thus far been made productive. Yet, out out of 371 exhibits from Colorado at the world's fair, eighty -one special premiums were awarded, covering all kinds of fruit and produce. Tbe wheat exhibit attracted wide attention, and twenty-five awards were given it alone, the largest number received by any one state in the Union. The fruit industry has reached $4,000,000 a year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet culture is a profitable industry. The min eral wealth of tbe state, which leads all other states in the Union in the output of gold aud silver, does not compare with he agricultural wealth.
