Newspapers.

Somebody if we knew who, we would
give due credit-writes thus tersely and
truthfully of newspapers and their
worth to the world 1.-The value OF
newspapers is not fully appreciated,
but the rapidity with which people are
waking up to their necessity and use
fulness is one of the significant signs of
the times. Few families are now con-
tent with single newspaper. The
thirst for knowledge is not easily sati-
ated, and books, though useful-yea,
absolutely necessary in their place
fail to meet the demands of youth or
age. The local newspaper is eagerly
sought for and its contents as eagerly
devoured.
Newspapers are also valuable to
material prosperity. They advertise the
village, county or locality. They spread
before the reader a map on which may
be traced character, design, progress.
If a stranger calls at hotel, he first in
quires for the local newspaper, and You
feel discounted if you are unable to find
late copy, and confounded if you are
compelled to say you do not take it.
"The newspaper is just as necessary
to fit man for his true position in life
as food or raiment. Show us ragged,
barefoot boy rather than an ignorant
one. His head will cover his feet in
after life if he is well supplied with
newspapers. Show us the child that is
eager for newspapers. He will make
the man of mark in after life il you
crafty that desire for knowledge. Other
things being equal, it is a rule thai
never fails. Give the children news
papers,.

of Norwich, and was born ir Aldsrley,
Cheshire, in 1916. He was educated at
Rugby under Dr.. Arnold, during that
period made familiar to all by the story
of the adventures of Tom Brown. At
Oxford, afterward, he distinguished
himself by his scholarship, and gradu-

took the Latin essay prize in 1889, and
in the year following won both the
English essay and the theological

and in 1851 was made Canon of Canter-
bury. He was successfully regius pro-
fessor of ecclesiastical history at Oxford,
Canon of Christ Church and chaplain to
the Bishop of London, until 1864, when
he was made Dean of Westminster. He
was leader of the broad church party.
His Life of DI. Arnold" published in
1874, was his first literary work to max @
him widely known. He also published
"Sermons and Essays on the Apostolic
cal Age" "Memoirs of Bishop Stanley, "
Historical Memorials of Canterbury, 4"
"Sermons on the Unity of Evangelical
and Apostolical Teaching" as well as a
large number of other sermons and
lectures. He has also contributed many
articles to the reviews and magazines,
and to the Dictionary of Classical Biog-
raphy and the Dictionary of the Bible,
as well as to the Transactions of the
Archaeological Institute. He was elect
ed Lord Rector of the University of
st. Andrews in 1874.

rowed twenty-five cents and worked un-

he started out prospecting, located a
claim, two-thirds of which he sold ont
a short time ago for $4,000. The
above information will no doubt render
uneasy the printing fraternity of the
country, who will HE them away to

Gen, Skohelef.

Lieut.. Green, in his interesting
sketches of army life in Russia, writes
thus of Gen. Skobeleif; In return for
his care of his men, he demanded of
them, first of all, unhesitating, I'M
flinching, unquestioning obedience to
all his orders, If he ordered q man to
do anything, where immediate death
was as certain as the sun in heaven, he
expected to be instantly obeyed, with
out so much as even look or question
of surprise. Himself man of wide
reading, speaking many languages, and
having travelled in many lands, he gath
cred about him in his personal staff as
rough and uncultured u lot of men as
ever | saw in officers uniforms hut
they answered his purpose to carry
orders, and, as he said if he ordered
one of them to ride his horse against
the muzzle of discharging cannon, he
would do so instantly.
His personal bravery was not only of
the most reckless character, but at
times it seemed to partake of the merest
bravado, in which only extraordinary
luck prevented him from reaping in death
the wei-earned reward of his foolishness.
! lie always wore "a wlite coat, white
| hat, ard rode u white horse In barrie
! simply BECAUSE other generals usuaTy
avoided these target-marks. He was
perpetually riding at break-neck
speed over some fence or ditch, leaving
half his staff and orderlies sprawling in
it, He never lost an opportunity OF dis
playing courage. He went into battle
in his cleanest uniform and fresh under
clothing, covered with perfume, and
wearing II diamond-hilied sword, in or
der as he said, that he might die with
his best clothes on
For long time he wore, with evident
affection, Il coat in which he had been
wounded, and which had conspicu-
Gus patch on the shoulder. Yet all this
was not mere bravado and nonsense,
but the result of thought and almost
coldblooded calculation, twas intended
to impress his men, and it did so, They
firmly believed that he could not be hit,
and whenever they saw white horse,
coat, and cap among them, they knew
that was Skobeleif, and so long as he
was there they felt sure that everything
was going well,
