In a series of articles upon “The Woman Who Influenced Me Most,” pub- lished in the Ladies’ Home Journal, Rev. Robert Collyer, the blacksmith preacher, in paying tribute to his mother, says: “So she stands in the sunlight of the long ago, and she had also such a genius for doing well what she must take in. hand that I think still if it had fallen to her lot and her training to'govern a kingdom she would have made a noble , queen and governed it well, while what she did govern well was the house full of eager and outbreaking children with a good deal of the old Berserker blood in them, as I have reason to suspect—keep- ing us all well in hand and clearing the way for us into the world’s great life when our time came to go forth; seeing to it that we were well housed, well fed and well clad for weekday and Sunday, while the school wage was paid for us, so long as we could be spared to go there, out of the eighteen shillings a week my father earned in those days at his anvil, together with the pittance some of us could earn by and by in the factory.” Of his visit to the scenes of his child- hood in England, Dr. Collyer writes: “So I went about the valley, as they say, with my heart in my mouth, and seemed to be saying to the boy I saw through the mists of the many years: “ ‘Dear little fellow, you had a hard time then, but it was a good time also, wasn’t it now? Have any flowers in the world beside ever seemed so sweet to you as the snowdrop, the primrose and the cowslip you know so well where to find and bring home to mother, or have any singing birds ever 'matchod your memory of the Skylark and the throstle, or were there ever such Christmas-tides as those she made for us when her children and the world were all young together?’ “And there was the old home nest. It stood where the villa stands now, but I would not have exchanged the memory for the mansion. It was a cottage of two rooms and an attic fronting duc south, and there was a green dooryard with a clump of roses set about with wallflowers, pinks and sweet Williams. There was a plum tree also branching about the windows. Then I went with- in doors of the home which was, and is no more, to find the bright open fire that went out in 1830, but was still burning for me, and the walls of the living room were white as the driven snow. There was the famous bureau, also, shining like a dim mirror, and the tall clock which was always too fast at bedtime and too slow at meal times—it stands here in our dining room now. There was still the fine store of willow ware on the rack against the wall, but that was for Christmas and the summer feast; while all things were glorified by pictures Turner could not have done to save his soul. REV . ROBERT COLLYER. “There were six of us in the earlier years, also, to make good the old rune mother would croon over us now and then: Four is good company, five is a charge, Six is a family, seven’s too large, but I think she would have refitted the rhyme to the reason if there had been more. “And now how did she raise us so that her son must fain write down this memory? “There was fair white linen and calico first to wear and to sleep in. And until we could see to it ourselves, once aweek there was the tub where we had a good sound scrubbing, who were big enough for the sad solemnity, with yellow soap and things that got into your eyes. and a stout ‘harden’ towel to dry off withal, so that now, when I think of. our ‘Cot— ter’s Saturday night,’ the words of the wise man are apt to come back to me, ‘Who hath red eyes. who hath conten- tion, who hath strife?’ and I can answer, I know who had all these, say sixty-five years ago, when I was turned into that tub, while there was but scant comfort fer me in the words she would say as a sort of benediction, ‘There now, children, cleanliness‘is next to Godliness.’ “How did we fare, the six hearty children? There was‘oatmeal, and what we call mush who know no better, and skim milk in plenty, with oatcake, as mother would say, to fill in; also wheat en bread for more careful use. and some— times a trace of butter. Not much meat, for meat was dear, but soup with dump- lings, and what the old Yorkshire folk used to call ‘sikelike,’ a word with a wide meaning. And the tradition still remains of an early time of innocency when mother would sa - those who eat the most dumpling sha l have the most meat. So We would peg away until we‘ did not Want any meat._ and then mother would save it for the next’day’s dinner. There was fruit, also, when this was cheap, in the lovely guise of a pie, and then more oatmeal arfii ikim milk for supper.”_ A writer in “Blackwood’s” says that “priests cannot change their priestly countenance if they wished. For some mysterious reason the subcutaneous tis- sue over the ‘cheekbones and under the jaws of the cleric’s face gets an undue supply of nouris- uent, Which leaves distinctive “marks, hile the conscious - ness of a share in the Apostolic legacy gives a muscular set to the lips.” ‘_.,_. ‘ ~ 7 ‘ i, .3. -¥,;.',; . . p ’ as. s SUICIDE OF A BUCK ELK. A Chicago Beast That Chose D'éath Rather Than a Trip to Philadelphia. The keeper of the elks lost the most essential portions of his trousers. The elk lost his life in the melee by breaking his neck.’ Hence the keeper, who is a just man, feels that things are about even and holds no ill will toward the deceased animal. . ' It all came to pass one morning at Lincoln Park. The park commissioners having on hand a. supply of buffalo and elks larger than was needful for the en- tertainment of visitors had made favor— able terms with the proprietor of a wild beast show. _ The Wild West man, who wore his hair long and hinted that he had hunted buffalo on the plains with the Grand Duke Alexis, was to take two buffalo bulls of the Lincoln Park breed. paying therefore $400 each. The elks he was to get for $100 each. Keeper De Vry prepared to cage the animals for shipment to Philadelphia, where the Wild West show" is getting wilder every day in anticipation of the summer’s tour. The buffalo bulls were quiet and docile. They walked into the traveling cages With no undue or unexpected manifesta- tions with their hoofs or horns. The elk‘ cow, too, showed a lady like and tractable spirit and entered her travel- ing cage with a certain dignity resulting from long residence on the North side. But with the buck elk, which is a scientific term and implies many at- tributes, it was diiferent. Ie pawed the air wildly after being lassoed, and when finally choked into submission dis- played a. sulkiness of disposition which cut the keeper to the heart. When the entrance of the “shift-ing cage” was reached the innate viciousness of the elk’s nature, long dormant by the genial influences of North side culture, awoke in all its savagery. Opening wide his mouth and display- ing a double row of wicked teeth, he gathered the keeper by the slack of his trousers and shook him with a vigor worthy of a better cause. I-Ie slammed the tired German against either side of the cage, ate heartily of his trousers and rested only when he had removed the best portion of them. he keeper crawled out of the shifting cage, and told the elk that if the prospect of going to Philadelphia affected him that way he had better not go. The elk, moved to a greater frenzy by these remarks, continued to trash about the cage, and in a. final paroxysm of rage and wounded vanity drove his head against the heavy timbers at the far end of the narrow compartment. There the matter ended, for the elk, with a sharp agonized cry so very hu‘hian like as to make the spectators shiver, sank to his knees, dead. Keeper De Vry refused to believe that the elk committed suicide when it saw that it was doomed to go to Philadel- phia—Chicago Times-Herald. 'THE TRINIDAD COOLIES. A Species of Slavery Existing in a British Colony. Notwithstanding British criticism of the manner in which the colored people of the South are treated by the whites. there are some things about the treat- ment of the free labor problem in the British island colony of .Trinidad that seem curiously medieeval in principle. Soon after the negroes of Trinidad were freed, now more than sixty years ago, the planters, upon the plea, doubt- less just enough, that the freedmen would not work, obtained from the Government special legislation provid- ing for the importation of East Indian coolie laborers. When the importations of coolies began negroes were demand- ingr from 60 cents to 81.25 a day, accord- ing to the work they were employed to do. The law authorizing the importa- tion of coolies provided that they should contract to remain with their employers for a. term of years, working for 2-5 cents a day, and that they should meanwhile have medical attendance and be returned free of charge to their homes. A special export tax on the products of the planta- tions was laid to pay for the transporta- tion of the coolies between India and Trinidad. The importation of the coolies has been going on ever since that time, until now from that source and from natural increase there are 60,000 coolies in a. population of 200,000: The white population is small, so that by far the larger part of the inhabitants are negroes and coolies. The former, in competition with contract labor at 25 cents a. day, earn from 4‘5 to 60 cents a day. Negro mechanics earn as high as 81 a day. The negroes are a stronger race than the coolies, and the heavier work still falls upon them. They are the mechanics of the island. Mistaken Identity. “Have your hair out?” asked the bar- ber, as he worked away at the lather. “Does it need cutting?” replied the man in the chair. “Very much. last?” “Yesterday afternoon.” “I thought it hadn’t been cut lately.
