KASPAR.

(The following account of the 4th o
July celebration at Kaspar was receiv
ed late, but we give it place in ou1
columns.)
A pleasant time was had at Kaspar
on Independence day. Exercise.
opened with singing "America.
After prayer by Rev. Scott, the "Sta1
Spangled Banner was sung, and th,
Decoration of Independence read. Mr.
Molten then gave us an grafton on the
patriotism of early days, 1t abounded
in interest and humor.
j. c. Bogard told us why we should
celebrate, and Mr.. Enoe gave us the
burning of st. Mlchael's, both very

A LAW has recently been enacted
covering technical defect, whereby
widows who filed application for pen
sions subsequent to July l, 1888, will
when the pension is allowed, receive
the rating from the date of the death
of the husband, in place of the date of
filing the claim. This rule does not
hold where the soldier died prior to

affected by this change in the law
should write the Commissioner of
Pensions, sending the number of their

whirl and High Pressure.

The children of this world having
within the last fifty years found some
new toys-to wit: eteam, electricity,
telegraphs, telephones, tickers and other
rapid transit apparatus for mind and
body-are playing too hard with them.
There is a species of mental intoxication
evolved out of all this rushing things"
which is even more subtle and deadly
than that coming of alcohol. In this
whirl and high pressure of business there
are those who, in mind as well as body,
are on the run from morning till night,
and every act of theirs, every epistle they
write, every letter they shape with the
pen is in the doing pushed and hurried in
mind by the thought of the next, of many
other pressing things which must be done
in given time.
There is no repose, no rest for the mind
from morning till night, no time or incl1-
nation to dismiss thought or care if for
ever so few minutes, and at last there is
no capacity for so doing. This habit of
mind grows into a fixed one. 1t leads
away from precision. 1t leads away from
exactness. 1t leads away from order OF
method It does lead even brilliant intel
lects into sort of heller skelter way OF
doing everything. 1t leads to fOrgetful
ress, for the memory cannot make &
clean record when so much is forced on it
This habit of mind goes with its owner
everywhere. 1t goes home with him. Il
| goes to bed with him. 1t keeps ava!
sleep. It gives only an unhealthy, fever
ish sleep at best to the body. 1t leads
and has led, to the insane asylum.

Amorioan Inrentions In nIadrid.

The Spaniard makes no distinction be-
tween Enghshmen and North Americans,
but labels them indiscriminately as In
gleses." American" here means South
American, and if you tell the natives you
are an American they are apt to express
surprise that you do not speak Spanish as
fiuently as they do. What is particularly
aggravating is to find Il number of Ameri-
can inventions utilized in Spain and in

New Circle of Kinsfolk.

What is this naturalization, however,
but a sort of parable of human life2 Are
we not always trying to adjust ourselves
to new relations, to get naturalized into
new family2 Does one ever do it entirely?
And how much of the lonesomeness of
life comes from the failure to do it, 1t
is a tremendous experiment, we all ad-
NIT, to separate a person from his race,
from his country, from his climate, and
the habits of his part of the country, by
marriage. It is only an experiment diff
fering in degree to introduce him by mar
riage into new circle of kinsfolk. Is he
ever anything but sort of tolerated,
criticised or admired alien? Does the
time ever come when the distinction
ceases between his family and hers?
They say love is stronger than death.
It may also be stronger than family
while it lasts; but was there ever a
woman yet whose most ineradicable feel
ing was not the sentiment of family and
blood, sort of base line in life upon
which trouble and disaster always throw
her back? Does she ever lose the instinct
of it? We used to say in jest that a
| patriotic man was always willing to sacrl-
| fee his wife's relations in war, but his
wife took different view of it; and when
| it becomes question of office is it not the
wife's relations who get them.2 To be
sure, Ruth said, thy people shall be my
people. and where thou goest l will go
and all that; and this beautiful sentiment
has touched all time, and man has got the
historic notion that he is the head Of
things. But is it true that a woman is
ever really naturalized? Is it in her ma
ture to be? Love will carry her a great
way, and to far countries, and to man!

fee is greater than mans; but would sh,

tions and interlacings of her family life

Lecturing the Natives.

Four native carriers were missing
They had got homesick, and run away in
the night. l knew well that as soon as
the other three men of their tribe heard
the news, they would go and do likewise,
so l ordered them to be told what had
happened, and then sent to my tent.
Their dialect was quite unknown to me,
and yet must impress them somehow.
They appeared, and. like the judge put
ting on the black cap, drew my revolver
from under my pillow, laid it before me,
and proceeded to address them. Begin
ming with a few general remarks on the
weather, first briefly sketched the geol-
ogy of Africa and then broke into an i'm
passioned defense of the British constitu-
tion.
The three miserable sinners-they had
done nothing in the world-quakedl like as
pens. l then followed up my advantage by
intoning, in voice of awful solemnity, tho
enunciation of the forty seventh PROPOSE
ton of Euclid, and threw all my energy
into a blood curdling 'quod erat demon
strandum."
Scene two followed when l was alone
I turned on my pillow and wept fo,
shame. 1t was prodigious piece of ras
cality, but it succeeded perfectly.
These men were, to the end, the mos
faithful had. They felt that they owe'
me their lives, for, according to Africal
custom, the sins of their fellow tribesmel
should have been visited upon them, an,
they never forgot my clemency.-"Tropi

Right Doing FROM Inclination.

Contemplate now the doings of one
whose acts according to Kant have no
moral worth. He goes through his daily
work not thinking of duty to wife and
child, but having in his thought the
pleasure of witnessing their welfare; and
on reaching home he delights to see his
little girl with rosy cheeks and laughing
eyes eating heartily. When he hands
back to a shopkeeper the shilling given in
excess of right change, he does not stop
to ask what the moral law requires: the
thought of profting by the mans mis-
take is intrinsically repugnant to him.
One who is drowning he plunges in to
rescue without any idea of duty, but be-
cause he cannot contemplate without
horror the death which threatens. If for
a worthy man who is out of employment
he takes much trouble to find a place, he
| does it because the consciousness of the
mans difficulties IS painful to him, and
because he knows that he will benefit not
only him but the employer who engages
| him; no moral maxim enters his mind.
When he goes to see q sick friend the
| gentle tones of his voice and the kindly
| expression of his face show that he is
| come not from any sense of obligation,
but because pity and a desire to raise his
friends spirits have moved him. If he
aids in some public measure which helps
men to help themselves, it is not in pur
suance of the admonition "do as yoJ
would be done by, but because the dis
tresses around him make him unhapp.
and the thought of mitigating them give
him pleasure. And so throughout; h
ever does the right thing, not in obedienc
to any injunction, but because he love
the right thing i'll and for itself. An

Cannibals of the Niger.

Mr.. H. II. Johnston, the British consul
at CAMERON, recently made a trip up the
Cross river, which empties into the
Gulf of Guinea, about $50 miles east of
the main branch of the Niger. Mr.. john
ston is we'll known by his geographical
work on the Congo and his book on Mount
Kilima- Marc He had not ascended the
river more than fifty miles before the
people he met began to be very wild and
excitable. In communication Just pub
lished in the Proceedings of the Royal
Geographical Society, Mr.. Johnston says
the people are all inveterate cannihals.
They are continually fighting with each
other in order to supply their larders with
fresh food. In one hut which he entered
a smoked human ham was hanging from
! the smoke blackened rafters, and above a
| hundred skulls were ranged around the
! upper part of the clay walls. One old
chief who wished to convince Johnston
of his very friendly feeling took neck
lace from his neck and presented it to the
white man. The ornament was made of
human knuckle bones.
At one point on the river where the
traveller was received with great apparent
friendship, he learned that the natives
were debating the question whether tC
treat the visitors as honored guests or tC
eat them, or at any rate to eat the KrOC
boys who had padded Mr.. Johnston VI
