cally it has been the peace excitement
of the lowest brutes in human form
for ages past. Morally it is un-
chlvalrous and unchristian.
~. 1t gaius money by the lowest
and most unjust means, for it takes
money out of your neighbours
pocket without giving him anything
in return. 2. 1t tempts you TO use
what you fancy your superior know
ledge of II horses merits-or any
thing else-to your neighbours
harm. If you know better than
your neighbour you are bound TO
give him your advice. Instead,
you conceal your knowledge to win
from his ignorance; hence come all
sorts of concealmcnts, lodges,
deceits-I say the devil is the only
father of it. I'm sure, moreover,
that the head-master would object
seriously to anything like lottery
betting or gambling. l hope you
have not won. / should not be
sorry for you to lose Ii you have
won l shall not congratulate you.
If you wish to please me, you will
give back to its lawful owners the
money you have won. If you are
loser in gross thereby, l will gladly
reimburse your losses this time. As.
you had put in you could not in
honor draw back till after the event.
Now, you can give back your money,
saying you understand that the
head-master and your father dis.
approve of such thing, and so gain
a very great moral influence. Re-
collect always that the stock
is worthless. 1t is this:
My friend would win. from me if
he could, therefore have an equal
right to win from him. Nonsense. The
same argument would prove that
have a right to main or kill man
if only give him leave to MAIN or
kill me if lie can and will. 1 have
spoken my mind once and for all
on matter on which l have held
the same views for more than twenty
years, and trust in God you will not
forget my words in after life.
have seen many good fellow
ruined by finding himself one day
short of money, and trying to get a
little by play or betting-and then
the Lord have mercy on his simple
soul, for simple it will not remain
long. Mind, 1 am not the least
angry with you. Betting is the way
of the world. So are all the seven
deadly sins under certain rules and
petty names, but to the devil they
lead if INDUCED in, in spite of the
wise world and its way.-Your low

Another Great Lake i'm Africa.

The existence of another equatorial
lake in Central Africa, far to the west
of Albert Nyanza, rumors of which have
reached Europe from time to time since
Sir Samuel Bakers first journey, is
again reported this time in n much
more definite form. Mr.. +. Lupton.
Governor of the Egyptian province of
Bahr el Ghazal, writes To the London
Times from his station, Dehm Siber, on
the 9th of July, to the effect hat Rafai
Aga, an employee under his command,
on his return from an expedition toward
the Uelle, told him that he and some of
the members of the expedition had seen
great lake in the country of the Bar
boa. a powerful copper-colored tribe
clothed with peculiar grass cloth (of
which Mr. Lupton sends specimen in
his letter.. Mr.. Lupton gathered that
the position of the lake was in about 3
degrees 40 minutes north latitude and
% degrees east longitude, and that it
was quite as large as Victoria Nyanza.
When the weather permits, the Barboas
cross the lake in large open boats made
out of q single tree, the voyage taking
three days, and they obtain from the
people living on the western side (their
own country being east of the lake, ar
ticles of European manufacture, such as
blue beads and brass wire. Mr.. Lup-
ton adds Rafai Aga's own account of his
route to the lake: Started from Dehm
Bekeer, marched six representatives, to
Zeriba ell Douleb, then four days south
southwest to Bengier; four days south
west TO Zeriba Warendema; six DAYS
southwest by west to the Bahr ell Max
war, which he crossed after visiting
several very large islands inhabited by
people who call themselves Basango
The Makwar is called by the Arabs Bahr
ell MARSHAL, and joins the Uelle, but is
much larger stream; both flow in west
southwest direction. After crossing the
Makwar, Rafai marched ten days south
southwest and reached the residence of
the Sultan of Barboa, by whom he was
well received; the lake is situated four
days march to the southwest of the
Sultan's residence. Mr.. Lupton con-
cludes by saying: Il feel / should not
be doing right in keeping dark this in
formation, which, when looked into by
competent persons, may throw some
light on the famous Congo and Uelle
rivers. / believe that the Uelle flows
into the lake discovered by Rafai Aga.
and that the stream which is said to flow
out of the lake probably joins the Con-
GO" Mr.. Lupton further informs the
Times that he is engaged in preparing
n map of this province, and that he was
about to start in a few days OH jour
ney to country called Umbungu. some
fifteen days march TO the west of Dehm
Sibcr.

Sensible Words.

At the closing session of the State Teachers
Association held in lansing Prof. f. A. Strong
of Grand Rapids, in opening the discussion up
on the subject of Science in our Public Schools,
said; "The great defect of our public schools
of all kinds and grades seems TO me to consist
in the fact that the English language is so i'm
perfectly used and taught in them. / believe
most Of us are prepared to join in the cry which
is rising from every side-'Let us improve our
methods and set before ourselves higher ideal
of instruction in the right use OF our mother
tongue. Next in Importance is the teaching
of natural history. In the English language
there Is instruction, even some systematic in
truction, but with regard to natural history
there is not only no systematic instruction, but
there is no instruction at all. Great care must
be used in introducing the systematic study OF
the natural sciences 1t must be shown that
the ends sought in the old curriculum will he

science The introduction Of the study must
he gradual, and the character Of the work must
of necessity be elementary.

Two young ladies of my acquaintance.
writes New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record, pretty girls they

the other day, when they noticed Mrs.

Mrs. Labouchere. They hurried up, so
as to get good look at her. Mrs. Lang
try said to Mrs. Lab. do YOU call
those girls pretty" "No," replied Mrs.
Lab. in her loudest voice, III do not,
and haven't seen pretty girl since |
came to America" isn't it odd"
said Mrs. Langtry, "there doesn't seem
to be any pretty girls over here at all"
This was salt, in very low tones, evident
ly intended for the passers-by to hear.
American wit was her match, though
isn't that Mrs. Langtry?" said one of
these girls to the other, looking around
at her "Oh, dear no, that is not Mrs.
Langtry," was the reply, given in a
good clear voice; "Mrs. Langtry is
pretty, and this woman is not, and Mrs.
Langtry is well bred, and this woman
certainly is not To say that Mrs.

THE RUSSIAN COLONY IN ALTA CALL
FoRNIA.-Fully a century ago the pleas
ant wales leading up into the Coast
mountains had been penetrated by the
frontiersmen of Mexico, of which coun
try this whole great region was an ILL
defined province under the name of
Alta California. These men were
herdsmen or farmers. Early in the
present century a colony of Russians
and Indians from Alaska, under the
leadership of Alexander Koskoff. land
ed at Bodega Bay, and began farming
where now is the village of Bodega.
Not satisfied with this place alone, how
ever, they travelled northward some
forty miles, and established perma-
nent trading post and agricultural sta
ton near Salt Point, the site and many
OF the buildings of which are now occu-
pied as the village of Fort Ross-an an
glicized abbreviation of Fuerte de los
Rusos, as the post was called by the
Spaniards.
The occupancy of this strip of coast
for their hold extended all the way be-
tween Point Arenas on the north and
Point Ruges on the south-by the Mus
covites from 1871 until 1910, when thew
abandoned their station, left its impress
