Literary Partnerships.

In modern days the partnerships of
Rice and Besant has been considered one
of the most remarkable as well as one o,
The most congenial in literary history,
and it was only sundered by the death
of Mr.. Rice. The dozen or more novels
they wrote together have all proved sue
cessful, and are entitled to at least a
place in the second rank of modern Eng
ligh fiction. More wholesome or more
delightful stories have not been written.
Rise and Besant were the English coun-
terparts of still more famous twin pair
of French novelists, Frckmann and
Chatrain, who are Alsatians by birth,
but who reside in Paris. Their novels
have the same wholesome, moral and de.
lightful tone which characterize Rice
and Besant's, though often more melo-
dramatic and tragical. Whoever has
seen Henry Irving in 1.-THE Bells" has
seen one of Erckmann- Chatrain's most
powerful stories portrayed by one of the
best dramatic companies. 1t is trans.

Civilization Will Not Always Mean
Rum.

That the Indians are capable OF civilization
has been abun6antly proved by the Chero.
kess There are about $1,000 OF them, OF
whom half are full blood. Thirty-ive per
cent. of the national income is spent upon
schools, and fiftesn per cent. upon asylums.
They have a written language, and claim
that every citizen can read and write. Be
sides the common schools they have four ex.
cellert academies, and esch child is allowed
a large sum each year for its schooling.
Think of city among US with p, Ool tnhabit-
ants thus g. uippsd for education! They lack
one mark of civilization, however, they have
no saloons. and boast of less drinking among
them than among a like number IN any
osher community. By this sad lack sumo OF
our statesmen may be discouraged with re.
spect TO further attempts to civilize the red

MORE NEWS FROM STANLEY.
Story Told by Arabs Doubted b
Presidenty Of Relief Committee

Story Told by Arabs Doubled by
Presidentyo Of Relief Committee.
Advices received at Brussels from Stanley
Falls state that Arabs who have arrived
there report that Henry M. Stanley and
Emin Pasha were heard from in February.
They were then marching toward Zanzibar
with several thousand men, women and chill
dren. They also had 6000 tusks of ivory. The
Arabs who brought the news arrived at Stan
lev Falls in February. They claim ID to have
seen Stanley several months before that time
Sir Francis DeWinton, president of the Emin
Bey relief committee d ubts the truth of
this story. Surprising that Stanley reached
Emin at Christmas Sir Francis thinks that
the story brought by the Arabs has Travelled
too quickly to be fact. He considers it
more likely that it originated in discussion
of Emins projects.

Don't Toss the Baby.

The throwing baby into the air and
catching him again is always risky
practice, certain though the tosser may
be of his quickness of eye and sureness
of hand A sudden and unexpected
movement of the child in his mid-air
fight may result in cruel fall.
A gay young father snatched up his
baby boy one morning and tossed him
to the ceiling. Twice the little fellow
went flying through the air and came
down safely into the waiting arms. The
third time the excited child gave a
spring of delight as his fathers hands
released him; plunged forward, and,
pitching over the fathers shoulder, fell,
head downward, to the floor. When
the poor baby came out Of the stupor in
which he lay for hours, it was found
that, although no bones had been
broken, the brain had Sustained an in
jury that would, in all probability,
render the child an imbecile.
Another baby snatched from the floor
and tossed into the air received a fatal
wound in the top of the head from the
pointed ornament of a chandelier. Still
another child slipped between her
fathers hands as he caught at her in
ner downward flight, and although his
frenzied grasp on the baby's arm saved
her from falling to the ground, it
wrenched muscles and sinews so
cruelty that the girls arm was shrunken
and practically useless to her all her life.
These are extreme cases, but the fact OF
their occurring at all should be enough
to warn one from the habit of relin-
gushing ones hold on child when
tossing it.-Harpa's Bazar.
