Early in the night the long corridor was so completely filled it was al- most impossible to walk from one entrance to another without treading on an out itretched leg or arm. By 10 o'clock it was found necessary to open the basement to the homeless wanderers, and 300 were soon crowded just as near to the furnaces as it was possible for them to get. They were not all tramps, the proportion of "laboring men out of a job " to the professional idler jemg three to one. They were hungry, too, and when a few of them entered the place with sandwiches there was a rush for the food and the sand wiches were passed from one hand to an- other. In an instant there were J K) men on their feet and blows were struck in al direction*. No sides were taken.

There wis a small amount of mone among a few of those in the north end o the hall. While some could not have bought a single sandwich the entire amoun was enough to purchase three or fou dozen. A collection wai taken up an- some twenty had combined their mone; for the purpose of buying food. Whil, two went out to make ihe purchase th others cleared away a place large enong to accommodate them and spread clea papers on the floor. Here they intendec to eat. All around them, however, wer hungry men, and when they heard thei companions talk of sandwiches they were even more hungry. When the two returned with the foo< each carried a *ell filled box. They ha no sooner placed it on the floor in front o their companions lhau olhers rushed in an s- /cd liie food. There was scarcely a cms left for those who had furnished the mone to buy it. The skirmish aroused others and soon every one along tbe line in i end of the cc rridor was attempting to c. a portion of the food. Iu their e*g<-rne<> the men trampled the sandwiches im .n foot ami hut few succeeded in getting any thing at all. Those who had purchased the food resented the steal by striking several blows, and more than one in the hall re csived a bruited face.

Savonarola and John Knox are charac ter* m ire or leu medi.eval whose work an<i character nvist men would pronounce im possible in a -nodern city, ami the more micli men k.iew of the world tne more certain they would have been that moral earnestness might be a good thing in Judea and Jerusalem bat was like y lo weig'i little in New York city. Yet Dr. Park- hurst, a Piesbyterian clergyman, who not only looks but acts like John Knox, has surprised New York by lifting the New York police force out of its old ruts wilh no lever but moral resolution and no ful- crum but publicity. Kveryhody ha* always known that the hideous social evil which stains modern life paid toll to New York policemen, from patrolman to commissioner. No sane man has probably ever doubted it, and most men would add that no sane man would ever try to prove it. In this, as in all other phae*of prostitution the great mass of men of moral purpose psss by on the other side. perfectly satisfied if vice does nat in trinle its'lt on private live* lint carelessof its extirpation or reform. Dr. Parkhurst began several years ago a systematic effort to prove that the New York police was levy ing blackmail on this evil and practically licensing il. He has made innumerable mist* es. He has laid himself open lo t 1 e worst misconceptions. Police aud courts have united to " railroad" his agents to State's prison. Failure dcgged all his early effort*. He has faced such public abuse as is rarely poured on the most con temptible scoundrel. The newspapers have (.en for the most part against him and m-r,-lv any one publicly for him. But nothing in this world makes its way like moral perseverance. Two police cap- tains in New York city have been indicted for levying blackmail, the Police Com- missioners have been forced to shift cap- tains through the city, and orders for a wholesale closing of haunts of evil resort have gone forth and are being ruthlessly executed. In fact, the Police Comiasioners seem to have decided that Ihe only way to get rid of Dr. Para- hurst is to do what he demsnds and give the community an object lesson of the results. New York has never had such a moral or immoral house-cleaning as in the past fortnight. In the end, l)r t'arkhurst, like all reformers who have preceded him, will be borne down. On th< comfortable theory that a certain illinium ol evil is necessary In a wioksc world, and the less said about it the better he is all wrong. On the other theory that itis every man's duty to fight stn wherever he find* it, he is all right, and whatever the final result, he has proved to all the world that it u t ill jusl as possible as evsr for i man of moral convictions, as was first sr.,d of the founders of the church to "turn the world upside down."

It is difficult for mothers, particularly the young, or those who have not overcome the waywu.rd tendencies of their youthful nature, to properly eattmite tbe influence they exert over their little ones, for they are constantly surrounded by critical mothers or grandmothers, who are ever giving wholesome advice ; who copy the shortcomings, morals and manners, or meth- of the young .nother in the difficult task, as atiny-bender, in bringing up her little ones, and then make them the subject of scandalous criticism in thf neighborhood, where she may reside. If she is all she should be those loving criticisms will only make her the stronger and better woman and mother. It is almost always true; as the mother is, so are her sons aud daughters. If a family of children be blessed with an intelligent mother, who is delicate and re- fined in her manners and all she may have to do in her household affairs, and does not com idcr it necessary to be one woman in the parlor, and an entirely different person in ivery other room of her house, but who is a true mother and always a tender, charm- ing woman she will invariably see her halnt of ruling over her children, in love, evenness of temper and speech, and perfect manners, reproduced in her children, (jreat rough men aud noisy boyi, that are seldom still, will always tone down their voices and step lighter and try to be more " manner- ly" whon she stops to give them a kind word or a pleasant smile. A tr'ie mother will never tail to say or do all the pleasant things -lie can that will in any way help to lift up and cheer those whose|lives are shad- ed with care and toil. Tbe mother of to-day rules ihe world of to- morrow. How essential is il, then, that they rule it with that love which is bcrn of the sensibility of the affec- tions, and the rightly cultured e rotions of the heart. Then they become s grace unto themselves and thsir children after them. A i ri mi n.il Art.

Situated about .1 .0 yards from his main dwelling house U a roofed -in told, where are placed at night the sheep haxing little ones), and this fold is intrusted to tne care of a boy named Xekiel. Rut it happened that Xekie'.'s young affections are placed on a neighbors buxom daughter, and it was while thinking deeply of the fascinating damsel, enjoying in anticipation the even- ing wilh her, that Xekie' forgot to secure the door to this pla>-e. He was still absent when Mr. Buliertield was awakened by his wife, who declared that '.here was some one in the "Iambs' house," as it is called. The ranchman was prepared to dispute his with the lady, when a series of suspici- us sounds caused him to spring quickly rom his be J. These sounds were of everal heep, and the young being <-.u <;HT BY THE THROAT, h* cry s'.illed nd choked, as if a cruel clutch killed it before it was well given birth to. Mr. Uutterfield threw open the window and called for Xekiel, and, receiv- ng no answer, dressed himself hurriedly and seizing his revolver, made for the spot There was a moon just going down, but t gave sufficient light to show that the door was partly open, and on approaching still nearer, tbat the sheep were huddled together iu terror of a score of dark objects almost u large as month-old ctlves which were running about the fold, pulling down mother sheep here or devouring some ten- der lambling there. At first Mr. Butter- field could not distinguish what these creatures were, but took them for dogs. Convinced, however, that whatever they were, he was justified in preventing the slaughter of his poor sheep, he drew his pistol and discharged it at the nearest, when his shrill yelp told him thai these marauders were wolves, and wolves of the large ferocious gray variety. He fired again and again, a wolf falling at every shot, The robbers then tried to run out of the door, bat the ranchman determined on re- venge and closed the only exit and con- tinued firing. But finding themselves tpped the animals seemed to grow frantic. ,| before Mr. Butterfield could suspect what was about to happen, flew at him with such force as to cause him to stagger back against the wall. His pistol was now empty and h was only able to defend him- from hi bloodthirsty foes by knocking about him with the butt of his weapon.

One of his ideas of happiness is to lie on his back, and let his wife drop pieces of fnt or spoonfuls of oil into his mouth until he. can hardly stir. But we must remember the awful climate. Much fat is a necessary food in such cold. Then ihey lead such a hard life ; hunting the seal and the reindeer over ice fields, and harpooning whales on stormy sea* in thsir little canoes, and netting ice-traps of slabs of ice for the wolve*. Food is often scarce and hard to get -. it is not to be won- dered at that they make a feast when they oan. But the Kskimos are a wonderfully honest people ; stealing is unknown. They are so hospitable, too, to strangers, and so soldiers that is, if ths Spanish t.overn.ent would pay him five million pesetas for his un ention. It has been tested, we are told. in the presence of a numborof military offi- cers and journalists, who were immensely pleased wilh it. The military authorities, however, do not seem to have availed them- lelves of Mr. Cheaters services. Beiodeer- M. Nordenskjold, in his voyage- in th Vega to the Asiatic shore of llehring sea noticed a market difference netween the Dog Clink, -hv the inhabitant* oi the shore, and the Reindeer Chukchs of the interior. The Utter were better clothed und in bet- ter circumstances. Both showed a kind- ness to their animals unusual in semi- savage peoples. The Coast Chukchs always carried dog shoes, neatly made ol bag* of soft leather. with straps attached, to put on their dog*' feet if cut by the sharp snow. leg* were soon bleeding free!}, while the sharp fangs of the animal* found the bone itaelt under the lacerated flesh. Mr. liutterfield shouted loudly to li.j-.v-fe to bring Him help, but such wa the yelp- ing, snarling, and howling in the fold that he doubled that his voioe would reach her. Hat she heard t he pistol shots and the iioise nt the struggle, ami screamed for /ckiel, who, by this time, was ap ing the house, whittling merrily. Butterfield flew out to meet him and in- formed him what had happened, and gave him hit master's gun to go to the rescue. Searing the fold then Xekiel heard his em- ployer's cries for assistance anil reached him just in time to see an RVHMnrs MAI.K ViOLr leap upon the exhausted man and seize hisn by the throat. Mr. Butterheld fell, with this monster clinging to him, and gave himself up for lost.but the boy, placing the muzzle ol the gun to the wolfs head, blew oat his brains. The door being left open by the newcom- er, most of the caged creatures escaped by it, but Xekitl continued to pursue them with a running fire, managing to kill halt a doxen himself. Bnt one old fellow, engaged in tutting a lamb he had slain, d*,-laro,l war to the knife and refused to be routed, but turned on Xekiel with a determination to kill or he killed right there.

Xekiel fired again, but the ball went far over the creature's head, and before he could aim again the wolf had pinned him down. In falling, the boy struck his head against tho doorsili, and for several minutes was too da/ed to take any further part in the <oinli.it. The wolf bent his head to worry the remains, an he thought, but Mr. Rutter- field, crawling toward the two, secured Xekiel's gun and put a couple of shots in i he snimal's body, but did not kill him, as he had hoped to do. The wolf whirled sharply about and, still standing ovir Xekiel, made a snap at the other man, which Mr. Rutterfield parried by getting to one side. He then brought the gun down upon THE CKKATfKK's SKI I I.. breaking the weapon short off in the bar- rel, and without seeming to daze the wolf at all.
