Distinguished CoIored Men,

= Walking about the lobby arm in arm
with a white-haired and pale-faced old
Southern gentleman of great dignity is
a thick-set man of light coffee color,
medium in height, with round, good
natured face. The colored man is the
better known of the two. Perhaps he is
better dressed. His clothes are of fine
quality, but not snowy; shiny beaver
rests squarely on his head, and good
cigar is held between his teeth. He is
q United States ex-senator and a man
of work in his way. The group on the
wooden bench seek his influence, and
he is a frequent visitor at the White
House. is ex-senator, ex-Register
and present lecturer Blanche X. Bruce.
The shorter and fatter and darker man,
with much more serious expression
on his face, who is surrounded by sew
eral of his race, who are all trying to
engage him in talk at the same time, is
another active adviser of Southern pol
itics and appointments. He has a
grievance against the Solid South; in
ne Smalls-Elliott contested election
case in the House last session he was the
unsuccessful contestant, while Elliott
held the seat. These are the two most
active leaders of the group OF colored
politicians from the South that assemble
in the hard bench each day to talk,

AND EDUCATIONAL,

From New South Wales comes the
news of the establishment of strong
and vigorous societies on the American
plan.
There are schools for ounces in
Germany, at which dull children re-
ceive instructions suited to their ca
pacity.
The great work of education, re-
ligious and secular, is to enable men to
master the idea of time, and times
work. Essays on Social Subjects.
A fund is being raised in San Fran
cisco to found Memorial Garibaldi
school, where Italian history can be
taught to young Italian-Americans.
There are about 100000 Roman
Catholics in India, while the native
Protestants number only 100000; but
the Jesuits have been there three centu-
ries, the Protestants only one century
There are twenty persons whose
gifts to colleges in this country aggre-
gate over 1923, 600, OOO Three of these
men-Stephen Girard, Johns Hopkins
and Asa Packer-gave over $14,000,-
600.
Travellers tell us that even in Spain,
one of the last places, we should think,
where Professionalism could find the
least friendship, it is tolerated and
talked OF, and that Protestant churches
exist in some of the principal cities.
The same thing is true of Italy.
Tho highest end of education is not
to dictate truth, but to stimulate exer-
ton, since mind is not invigorated,
developed, in q word, educated, by the
mere possession of truths, but by the
energy determined in their quest and
contemplation. The primary principle
of education is the determination of
the pupil to self activity Sir VIM.
Hamilton.
"A number of members of the Ma
rine Engineers Association of Phila-
delphia recently formed themselves
into a class for the study of mathemat-
les, and the progress they have made is
inducing many other engineers to fol-
low their example. The science of
mathematics is such an essential part
of the practice Of steam engineering
that no engineer can fail to be benefit
ted by its pursuit.
Columbia College, in New York
City, will permit yong women to enter
an ''annex" by passing the same en-
trance examination as the young men.
The ladies who have the "annex" in
mind propose to furnish the money to
rent or build it. Columbia College has
nothing to do with the money, the dis
cipline or the manners of the new .'an-
mex" 1t has bargained to furnish
the learning only. The annex is to be
known as Barnard College. The young
ladies for the present will be tethered
to the course in arts. Young ladies
who want to be lawyers or chemists or
mining experts will still be barred out
Of the university.

SUNDAY IN BURMAH.
Worshipers and Spectators Around TIL
Famous Pagoda at Rangoon.

WOrshfpers and Spectators Around the
Famous Pagoda at Rangoon.
Perhaps one of the most wonderful
structures that the Orient can boast is
the pagoda at Rangoon. 'Shway" is
Burmese for gold or gilded, and, if the
reader can imagine an elongated bulb
ous dome drawn out to a height greater
than St. Paul's, and covered complete
ly with FURNISHED gold from base to
summit, he may get an idea of the
Shway Dugon pagoda. But stay, he
must not forget the Eastern sun blazing
on it in a clear atmosphere, causing
the eye to turn away from it, dazzled
by its supreme brilliance, for relief
among the deep-green foliage at its
feet At the very crown of the spire is
fixed canopy studded with rubies,
diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. and
this again is crowned by gilded flag,
in which all the choicest gems are set
in pure gold. This flag was recently
dislodged by an earthquake and was
taken down, and for three consecutive
Sundays all the pious Burmese focked
to contribute share toward the
expense of remodeling and enriching
this ornament There are two or three
layers of leaden alloy inside, while
outside these are covered with layer
OF pure gold about quarter of an inch
thick and densely encrusted with gems.
The remelting is a solemn ceremony
conducted by the ''poongyees" or Bur-
mese elders, a select committee of
whom gather and control the public
funds. Clad in flowing white garments
the ''poongyees" gather behind bam-
boo barrier inside kind of square
tent, and receive the offerings of the
people, which vary from a diamond
worth $500 rupees to a few pice &C
cording to the wealth of the donor
The high-caste Burmese lady comes
forward, and unclasping a costly bangle
set with gems, hands it over to the pre-
siding functionary; the magnate strips
his rings from his hands, and they,
too, go into the melting pot, where the
poorer people contribute small gold
rings, bangles, necklaces, pins, etc.,
down to rupees, annas and pices. In the
meantime, in the forepart of the inclos-
ure, which is richly hung with all the
native emblems, such as umbrellas,
feathers, vases, quantity -colored car
pets, long muslin leaves covered with
spangles and gold. and such like, two
charcoal fires are being kept alive
with blow-pipcs, in which are to be
seen crucibles full of molten gold. At
six o'clock tho gold is cast into ingots,
and the final melting takes place on
the last Sunday of the three.

The crowd OF spectators pressing

The crowd OF spectators pressing
round the bamboo barriers Is of a
very varied nature. Gayly-decked
Burmese girls, with faces plastered
over with white paint if of high rank,
the hair turned up over the head, and
clad in orange and brilliant colors;
naked children; Cinnamon In huge
hats and loose coats, with yellow, oily
compilations; Shans in black clothes;
Pathans of fine stature and appear
ance; Parsees from Bombay, Of Sem
itic cast of countenance; Hindus,
Sikhs, Punjabees, half-castes, and
Europeans of all nations are to be
found in this motley mass. The sur
roundings, too, are well worthy of re-
mark. Surrounding the base of the
pagoda are numerous shrines and
smaller pagodas, fitted with the
most wondrous carving; outside these
sit musicians playing on tom toms,
gongs, strange violins and string in
struments; you see two or three bands
assembled within few feet of each
other, each playing its own tune (if
tune it can be called) irrespective of
it's neighbours; there, too, are the
chiromancists or fortune-tellers, as.
biologists and provision mongers. If
you are inclined to be told your char
acter and future, you pay few annas
and find that you are going to be
blessed with ten sons and daughters,
that you are hospitable and kind
hearted. and. above all things, ex-
travagantly generous the latter quail
ity is never missing fromsthe catalogue,
for the willy Burman hopes in this way
to screw out another anna Or two, but,
perhaps, as rule, unsuccessfully.
When Burman goes to pray he can
do it most comfortably, as he break
fasts in church and puts in prayer be-
tween each mouthful, and if any thing
tickles him he stops to have hearty
laugh.-Chicago Times.

MACAULAY A ROBBER.

How the Famous Historia4 Secured a
Frightened Romans Watch.
Lord Macaulay, when young man,
was visiting Rome, and one night went
to see the Coliseum by moonlight.
While alone under the dark arches,
where it is as black as night, all of a
sudden man in large cloak brushed
past him rather rudely, as Macaulay
thought, and passed on into the dark
ness. Macaulay's first impulse was to
clap his hand to his watch-pocket, and
sure enough he found his watch was
not there. He looked after the man,
who, he doubted not, had stolen his
watch as he brushed past him, and
peering into the darkness, could just
distinguish the outline of a figure NOV
ing away. Macaulay rushed after him,
overlook him, and Selling him by the
collar, demanded his watch. Macau-
lay could speak very little Italian, and
understood none when spoken, so he
was obliged to limit his attack on the
thief to a violent shaking of him by
the collar, and an angry repetition of
the demand: "Orologio! Orologio!"
(''watch! watchr'). The man just at
tackled poured forth torrent of rapid
ly-spoken words, of which Macaulay
understood not a syllable, but once
again administered severe shaking to
his captive, stamping his foot angrily
on the ground. and again vociferating
'Orologio! Orologio!'' whereupon the
detected thief drew forth the watch
and handed it to the captor. Macau-
lay, satisfied with his prowess in hav-
ing thus recaptured his property, and
not caring for the trouble of pursuing
the matter any further, turned on his
heel as he pocketed the watch, and
saw nothing more of the man. But
when he returned to his apartment at
night his landlady met him at the
door, holding out something in her
hand, saying: "Oh, sir, you left your
watch on the table, so I thought it bet
ter to take care of it; here it is"
"Good gracious! what is it then; what
is the meaning of it?'' stammered
Macaulay, drawing from his pocket the
watch he had SO gallantly recovered in
the Coliseum. It was watch he had
never seen before. The truth was
plain-he was the thief. The poor
man he had so violently attacked and
apostrophized in the darkness and
solitude of the Coliseum arches had
been terrified into surrendering his
own watch to the ruffian who, as he
conceived, had pursued him to rob
him. The next morning Macaulay,
not a little crestfallen, fastened to the
office of the questor with the watch
and told his story. '.Ah! I see," said
the questor: ''You had better leave
the watch. will make your. excuses
to the owner of it; he has already been
here to denounce you. y It'd Bits.

Niagara Falls Receding.

1t is estimated that Niagara Falls
will recede two miles and then remain
stationary, their height at that point
being eighty feet, instead of 1854, as at
present. The superstition is supported
by an argument which appears reason
able. The present site is a limestone
formation some eighty or ninety feet
thick, with a shady foundation. AS the
shale is washed away, the limestone
breaks off, and the falls take step
backward. But the end of the shaly
deposit will be reached two miles from
the present falls, and then the rushing
water will have more than it can do to
wear away the solid precipice over
which it will be projected.

Stricken With Apoplexy.

An aged gentleman of our acquaintance
went out after a hearty meal to remove the
Ice from the sidewalk. He worked as an
old man naturally would with his head and
shoulders bent low. He suddenly fell, be-
came unconscious and soon died.
What was the cause of his deaths
Apoplexy-the physician would say apo
plexy of the brain.
In persons of good health, the coats of the
arteries throughout the entire body are
tough and elastic. In unhealthy persons,
particularly those whose kidneys are dis
eased. the walls of the arteries undergo
"degeneration''-due to the action of the
impurities in the blood which the kidneys
have been unable to remove
In these cases, when the action of the
heart is intensified by vigorous exercise,
or excitement, the pressure upon some
artery becomes too strong for it in it's
weakened state "a rupture occurs and a
stroke of apopiexy follows as matter of
course.

mon cause Of apopleXy.

moval of the waste matter in the blood, the

told the truth could hardly refrain from
apologizing to the old horse they had
