SATURDAY NAY 30. 1895.

In the course of discussion before
the Maryland Diocesan convention
now in session in Baltimore, on the
subject of a higher education of the
colOred people, Rev. DR.. Alexander
Crummell, rector of st. Luke's Church.
Washington city. and one of the old
est colored clergymen in the diocese
said that the education Of girls was
of more Importance than that of boys.
He looked forward to the time when
colored men should move through
all the correspondence ofnature and
all the avenues Of life. There Is a
necessity for colored lawyers and doc
tors, and | am willing that they
should come up from the dust But
there are hundreds and thousands Of
colored mothers who have not learned
to sew, who have not been trained in
morals. and who are likely, while IN.
der the influence of religious frenzy,
to throw themselves beyond restraint.
Such women can't train up their
daughters properly. The root Of the
new civilization which is to spring up
is the training Of the colored women.
| should like to see founded in the
centre Of the State school for girls
where they might learn to sew, to
sweep, to cook, little music, and the
catechism. Some colored families
have wealth and they are giving their
children higher education. The
committee spoke of the sensitiveness
of the race. It is the self-assertion Of
new race, aud we ought to be glad
Of this sensitiveness. Emancipa-
tiOn Is not good for one race alone.-
Let me coin word and say that we
should mainly the colord people
make them men. TIE needs Of the
race are pressing, the colored people
have suffered the demoralization Of
heathendom, of the slave trade. and Of
two hundred years of bondage, and
the large expectations about them are
unreasonable. Most Of the churches
have substituted the discipline Of sub.
jugation for that Of slavery. and from
some Of the churches they are drifting
away because Of this subjugation.
The CAPITAL entirely agrees with
the reverend speaker. There can be
no doubt that good mothers make
good men. Educate and prepare the
women for motherhood and IN time
the cOlOred race win be elevated to
the full standard Of good citizenship.

Hollands Underground Fences

fern thc boundary lines between the

the singular spectacle Of being the only
country in the world which has its fences
under tho ground.
Tho farmer takes his produce to his

boats in these canals. Some Of these
small crafts are propelled by paddles or

Organisin' In Ice.

Prot, Lei y relates that he had placed
in his han S for exam nation a vial of
water obtained from melting ice which
is used for cooling drinking water.
rom time to time, among some sadi-
mcnt taken from IA water cooler, his ln-
formant had ous rvei what he sup OSed
to be living worms. which he suspected
were intro Iucad with the water into the
cooler, not with the leo. Upon melting
some of the icc alone, the worms were
still Of served. and the water submitted
for examination was some that was thus
obtained.
rofessor eidy was surprised to find
a numher OF worms among some hoe
culent sediment, main y consisting of
vegetable hairs and other de riS. Be-
sides the worms, there were also imma-
ture AnSuillu,a. and number OF ROti-
Ter vulgaris, all living. 1t would an-
pear that these animals had all been
contained in the ice, and had been Lib
Grated on melting. 1t Was an unex
