millionaire Philanthropy.

It is said that in the City of New York
there are over one hundred and twenty-five
men worth a million or more of dollars apiece,
and forty women who are millionaires. II
this calculation be true, the question arises,
What benevolence do these men and women
support, and especially the women3 How in
frequently do we hear of the benefactions of
wealthy women as compared with the philan-
thropies of the rich men Of our great cities.
Is the benevOlence Of women prOPortionate
to the number Of those who have WEALTH.
This is an interesting thought, and the OBJ
servant mind may study it in the light Of

old Phillips school, used to ask his pupils.
The good man had a way of his own III
Coaching geography His text book was the
morning newspaper, out of which he read the
list of incoming vessels, together with the
names Of the ports from which they had
sailed. Then the pupils were expected to tell
him what were the probable cargoes..
At other times the boys were hidden &c
visit the wharves, and find out what craft
were in port, and what cargo they had
brought or were taking away.
One morning a boy reported that he had
found vessel rerdy to sail with a load of
grain and gun carriages. The combination
was peculiar, and quite discussion arose as
to what the ships destination could be.
One member of the class mentioned slight
disturbance then in progress in northern AT

received. Algeria itself was great cerea!

500 years
THE FIRST HORNED MAN
The first of these rare specimens of the
genus homo of whom an authentic written
account has been preserved, one Piet Darnelo,
was up before tine town tribunal of Lisbon in
1906 on charge of being an offspring of the
devil When born Pet had two horns grow
ing from his head, one over his left ear about
one and one-half inches in length, the other
almost exactly in the center of his forehead
nearly three inches long.
At first, both were covered with a soft
downy fur like that on the new horns of ami
mails of the deer species, but this soon cracked
and peeled off, leaving horny excrescences
which in the quaint language of the account
did much resemble the spurs of We male
barne yarde fowle."
The horn near the ear was immovable
from the first, being firmly attached to the
skull The larger one on the forehead seemed
only in the skin and could be pressed down
until the point touched the nose without
causing the owner the least apparent pain.
At the age of years the larger horn was
removed. During that short time it had
grown from less than three inches to nearly
seven inches in length, and had given evi

Cancer Treated by Electricity.

Several cases of cancer have been success
fully treated by DR.. Parsons by passing a
powerfully interrupted voltaic current
through the tumors The growth as a whole
does not entirely disappear, but remains as an
inert mass, probably composed of fibrous
tissue This, the doctor thinks, could not be
absorbed, but the remains of the growth
could always Be removed subsequently, by

THE BOSS UMPIRE.

One of the FRANK LESLIE publica-
lions that has the name of RUSSELL
HARRISON at the head of its columns as
one OF the proprietors, has an elaborate
apology for the president and eXplana-
ton of his unpOpularity with his party.
The article is given typographical dis
play as an indication of its authorita-
tive character. The defense is that all
his time in the ten months of his official
life has been absorbed by the frantic
ofllceseekcrs. In the pathOs of aspersed
integrity the fiial defender says: "a
constant clamor for Office has greeted
his ears as he arose. and almost dis
turbed his slumber when he took scant
time for sleep. Not even the table has
been free from the voice of Importantly,
and the church is not always too sacred
TO escape the footsteps of the officeseek-
eT." The article states that the presi-
dent has never uttered word of COM
plant of this. He is credited with no
other conception of the character of his
Office than to umpire the claims of the
greedy officeSeekers.

POSTAL SAYINGS BANK.

1t is suggested by Mr.. DEPEw that
mobilization Of WANAMAKER' savings
bank scheme in connection with the
postal department might be made use
full. The Limitation proposed IS to fourth
class offices in the South. This would
be for the beuefit of the c0lored people.
Those in that part of the country have
mostly been raised in slavery or by those
who were slaves. They don't know
much about saving small sums. and few
of them have enough to open bank ac-
counts even where opportunities are
afforded. AS rule they are shiftless
and mprovident. The responsibilities
of citizenship are largely measured by
possessions, As one begins to save and
the comforts of life grow about him, he
becomes safer factor in society. Con-
venient postal banks would no doubt
induce the industrious to put away the
niekels and dimes they have been ac-
customed t0 waste. The ambition to be
depositors in the secure bank of the
government would spread among the ne
grOes, and no doubt be an agency in
making them more useful citizens.
