A Meeting of Races. A short time ago an anthropologist •f Now York City got a group of men of many races in his houso for a pur pose. In the group there were a North American Indian, a Chinaman, a ne gro, a Hawaiian, a Hebrew, an Arab, nn East Indian and Europeans of the Gothic, Celtic, Slavic and Latin races. AH of them were found in the city of New York, and all were able to use the English language well or other wise. Tko anthropologist who brought them together desired to get their notions upon certain questions of race, linguist,ic3 and religion, but he had great difficulty in getting them. He proposes to hold other conferences of the same kind, and to prosecute his investigations until his object has been attained. “All races of men are of one blood," according to the Scrip tures. ■ '■’> ‘Thar* la a Uhd at raopia Who are injured by the use of coffee.

Y acquaintance with Patsy began at a time when I had charge of the distributing bureau, of a Helping Hand Aid Socjety. Palsy i appeared at the , bureau one cold and snowy mid winter morning. —T™ He was so email that only his two shining blue eyes and his freckled pug nose were visible at the little opening in the door of the room in which I sat. A ragged cap rested lightly on the back of his eurly red head. Eight dirty little lingers clutched at the shelf in front of the window, and I knew that Patsy was standing on his tiptoes. Affairs had been going wrong all the morning in the bureaa, and I felt a little cross, but no one could feel cross long ih the light of Patsy’s laughing eyes, so I said pleasantly: “Well, what do you want, little fel low?" “Is It here ye give things?” he said. "Yes, we do have things to give away sometimes. What do you want?” • “Well, I do be wantin’ more iiitfl ye’ll be givln’ away,” he replied, with his eyes twinkling. “I want all thim Vanderbilts has, but if ye cauld lave me have a pair of breeches the day, sor, mebbe I could wait a bit for the rist." I opened the door and, told him to come In. He did so without any sign of embarrassment, and yet his manner was not bold. His need of the “bree ches” was evident. Thoge he had on were nothing but rags and patches. Hiu stockings had holes In them, and his shoes were on the point of dissolution. “Where do you live?” “In Finney’s coor-r-t, sor.” I knew the locality. Only the poor est of the poor live there. "What is your name?” “Patsy Noonan.” “Have you a father?” “Yes, sor.” Is he at work?” , “He is, sor—on the Islan’.’* I needed no further information re garding the character or occupation of Patsy’s father. On “the Island” wpre the city’s reformatory institutions, and if Mr. Noonan was there it was for a misdemeanor of some sort, and it was not necessary to embarrass Patsy by pressing him for further details, so I said: “And have you a mother, too?” “Indade I have.” "What does she do?” “She’s doin’ tolme on the Islan’ ilong wid me father, now, sor.” Patsy’s eyes caught sight, of a little plaster cast of Peter Cooper which stood upon the mantle. I told him "of Mr. Cooper’s kindness to the poor. “He looks it, sor,” said Patay. “It’s not the likes of him would be atther ^ /As. “SHE’S DEAD.” doing’ tolme on the Ulan', I’m thlnk in’.” “No," said I. “If all men and women were as good as he was the Island could be used for better purposes. See to It that you keep off the Island your self, my boy.” “I hates the Islan’,” was all he said In reply. “How do you get along while your father and mother are away?’’ “I shtay wld me gran'mother, sor. It’s she that owns the fruit-shtand for nlnst the bridge, between Kelly’s sa loon and the post-office. I sells papers an’ such lolke. Barrln’ the coal and the rlnt, sor, I’d not be cornin’ here at all, at all. I’ll not be afther cornin’ again, I don’t think.” But he did come again about six weeks later. I was again alone when he appeared at the little opening in the door. Instead of the cap, he wore a stiff black hat, probably found In some refuse barrel. There was a band of coarse black crape around the crown of the hat, and his eyes were not quite so bright as they had been before. “Well, Patsy,” I said, “you have been having trouble, haven’t you?” “Yis, sor.” He took off his hat and began smoothing out the crape wkh his finger. “v to iuc ayx: iui, r»l“,V ; "Me grandmother. It’s wan wake this day she's dead.” His blue eyes filled with tears and his lips trembled, as he added: "she was the best friend 1 iver had, granny was. She nlver bate me In me lolfc an' she’s saved me manny a batin’ from me father an’ mither.” “Have your father and your mother come home yet?” “No, sor, they bees on the Islan’ shtlll. Their tolme Is out in two wakes, an’ it’s that I’d be shpakin wld you about.” "What can I do for you or for them. Patsy?” “Well, it’s loike,this, sor: Whin they wint to the Islan* there was a mont's rint due, an’ ivery shtick av foorniturr was sowld out av the tinnymint. an' it Tinted to some wan else; but there’s me gran-mother’s tinnyment. wid de rlnt on it paid for a mont’ to come; but we had to lave most of the foornlture go to pay for de fun’ral, which was wan she'd no call to be ashamed of, nor. There’s three roonjs In the tlnnymint, an' the cook stove an’ a chair or two Is left, an’ I fought, sor, I fought”—he hesitated and said: : “What do you think, Patsy?” ■ “I fought If I could foornish the tln nymint up a bit more an' make it clane an’ shwate, loike, me father an' mother would have some place to come to whin they lave the Isian', an’ thin, mebbe, they’d thry to kape off the isian’.” “So they might, Patsy, and they, must have some place to go to when they come back to the city.” "If they don’t, they’ll soon be back to the Isian’,” said Patsy, stroking his finger and his head in solemn affirma tion, and emphasizing the statement by adding: Mark that, aor. An* so I fought I'd get the tinymlnt ready against the toime they’ll nade It. I’m goln’ to take me gran’mlther's place at the fruit sthand an’ sell papers, too! an’ it you know any way to help out a bit wld foornlshln’ me tinnymlnt I’d be obliged an’ I’d pay it all back when I could.” It happened that there was a quanti ty of very good second hand furniture in the distributing department of the Helping Hand. I made Patsy’s case known to the society, and was given permission to use anything necessary in refurnishing his grandmother’s de pleted tenement. Some of the young ladles belonging to the society become' Interested In the warm hearted Irish lad, and did much to make the tene ment neat and attractive. Patsy's delight knew no bounds. His laughing eyes grew brighter and l brighter, the color came back to. his ' cheeks. : “Sure, they’ll think this is better than the Islan’,” he said, as he walked from I one to the other of the clean and com | fortably furnished little rooms. “Coor talns to the winder! An’ a rocktn' chalr wld a cushion in it; An' a cloth on. the. table! It’s out o’sight!” He blackened the cook stove himself until it shone as brightly os a stove could shlne.and he scriibben the kitch en 'floor over and over again. At last the day came when Mr. and Mrs. Noonan were again free. I went down to the Wharf with Patsy to meet them wheh the city boat should arrive from the Island. Patsy, neat and clean, in a suit from the relief department of the Helping Hand, could hardly wait for the gang plank to be put down. His father and mothenWere the first to cross It. I was anxious to see them— anxious to see if there was anything in their appearance to strengthen the hope I had of their final reformation. They came down the gangplank to gether, a dejected but not entirely hopeless looking pair. Mrs. Noonan had evidently been quite a pretty girl, and even the hard life she had led had not deprived her entirely of her good looks. Mr. Noonan’s blue eyes had a twinkle in them like Patsy’s, and he had a remarkably youthful appearance. Patsy ran forward eagerly. Mother! father! he cried. They hardly knew him in his neat new clothes. “Why, Patsy, bye!” his mother said, and it pleased me to see that she kissed him. His father took Patsy's hand and said: , • „ , . “Well, well, me son, ye ain’t forgot us, thin?” “Did ye think 1 would?” asked Patsy, with a note of reproach in his voice. Their three months on the Island had been helpful to them. “It’s learned me wan thing,” said Mr. Noonan. "It’s learned mo that a man can live without whisky. Not a dhrop av the crather have I had in three mont’s.” “Nor I,” said MrB. Noonan, “an’ I’ve said good-by for good and all to the Islan’.” "And to whisky, too, I hope,” I said. "I have, lndade, sor.” Their delight over the little tenement was equal to Patsy’s. “We didn't know where we’d shlape this night,” said Mrs. Noonan, “an’ to think that—but Patsy knew. Arrah, Patsy!” she said, turning suddenly to the boy, and hugging htm to her breast. "He deserves a better mother than I’ve iver been, an’ a better mother he shall have.” A better mother he did have, and a better father, too. The Helping Hand society kept watch and ward over the little tenement and its occupants. There were times when the old evil influences tried to make themselves felt, and Pat sy was on guard to sound a note of warning to the society. He was a stanch and faithful little soldier for the right himself, and to him, more than to any one else, was due the final reformation of Mr. and Mrs. Noonan. Hire Dok from China. A real blooded Chinese dog. such as, it Is said, has never before been with out the walls of the palace of the em peror of China, arrived at Tacoma on the steamer Pelican from Tlen-tsin, China. The dog is of the species known as the Pekin pug, which is kept ex clusively within the emperor’s harem at Pekin. It was brought at Tlen-tsin several weeks ago from a Chinese serv ane, who stole it from the royal gar dens. The dog is a natural pet and an ideal house canine. Its body Is long in proportion to its legs. The legs ap pear to be double-jointed at the knees. It Is said that were it known where the dog has gone the man who stole It would surely lose his head.—San Fran cisco Chronicle.
