MwANGA has recovered his throne
without Mr.. Stanley's aid. The mis-
sionaries whom he SO foully prosecuted
with acts of banishment, spoliation and
murder have forgiven him and restored
him to his old supremacy in Uganda.
The history of this unscrupulous savage
is exceedingly interesting. He sue
ceeded the noble Mtesa, but soon
showed himself to be a graceless tyrant.
The Arabs obtained control over him
and inspired him to all the atrocities
which have made his name SO infamous.
But he offended them also, and they de-
posed him. He sought refuge with the
Christians, professed their religion and
had partially recovered his vast empire
when Stanley was marching along the
Victoria Nyanza on his way home from
Emin's province. Mwanga sent to
Stanley and invited him to lead an ex-
pedition into Uganda, but Stanley re-
piled with curt refusal.

Something Masculine About Her.

isn't she an awful sweet and charm
ing girl ?" asked an uptown young man
of friend as the twain rode down to
business this morning. The remark
was called out by the passage of a young
lady across the street in the wake of the
car.
well, I'll admit now that she is.
Not because she's engaged to you, but I
really do think so, now"
"Wellp' said the first speaker in sur
prise, "did you ever think anything
else?"
"Yes, did. I saw her first at Mrs.
Blanks party and there seemed at times
during the evening to be something
masculine about her."
Masculine! Jennie?" disgustedly re-
peated the young man.
well, I saw you sitting with her in
the shadow of the stairs that night and
imagined your arm was around her
waist"

Iron Bars.

One of the buildings of the Centennial
Exhibition in Philadelphia, after the
great fair was over, was given up to the
plants which had been sent from Australia
and South America. Gigantic banana
plants, monstrous tree-ferns, palms and
orchids, grew rapidly year after year in
the warm, moist atmosphere of the huge
conservatory.
When, however, some of the palm
trees reached the roof, they bent their
distorted limbs, and began to fade. They
had touched the iron bars above them,
had tried vainly to thrust them aside, to
draw them down, to climb above them !;
but finding the distractions impossible,
they slowly bent under the pressure and
withered.
In how many human dwellings is an
iron bar set overhead, which prohibits
upward growth to some Of the inmates.
aThere are human @1lls, = says Dean
Mccoy, which are resolute and strong
in their grip as bulldogs They are usu-
ally found in men or women Of ignorant
minds and coarse natures ignorance and
coarseness but make them the more cruel
tyrants. Ialways know house in which
one of these bulldog wills is to be found
by the cowed and uneasy look Of its
other inmates
Every human plant has q right to its
own best development. A little firm re-
sistance to selfshness, an occasional ap-
peal to common sense and right feeling,
may be as helpful to the selfish as to the
unselfsh member Of the family. Sub
mission to vulgar, brutal selfshness isnot
proof either Of goodness or Of wisdom.
It is simple cowardice.- Youths Com

In the north of China the climate is
quite cold, and there are no stoves or
fireplaces in the wayside inns. In some
of the general rooms are small char
coal braziers, but the bedrooms, which
are very scantily furnished, contain
neither stove nor bed. In their place
is brick platform long enough for a
man to stretch himself at full length
upon and raised q foot or two from the
floor, with an opening in the side. Into
this aperture the servant pushes pan
of burning Goals, and when the bricks
are thoroughly heated the traveller
spreads out upon them the bedding he
has brought with him, and lies down to
rest on his stove.

freight for less than one-third Of cent
per ton per mile, at q speed Of fifteen
miles an hour, while ships can
carry it ct ten miles an hour for one
twentieth of q cent, and so he proposes
that the Canadian canals be enlarged

cost SO, 900, 900, but it would give them

is in danger of being as thoroughly ex-
terminated as has been the American
bison. Elephants not many years ago
roamed the dark continent in countless

caused them to be relentlessly hunted,
and they have become SO scarce that the
supply of ivory has greatly decreased,

Hon. M. M. EsTEE, delegate from this

formulated plan, which meets the sp-
proval of all the delegates except those
of the United States, for silver coin
that will circulate throughout the Ameri
can continent. The detail of the coinage
would be subject to the control of an
American Monetary Union, and the
coins should consist Of 4121a grains OF
silver, 900 fine, bearing uniform in.
scription. The United States should
coin not less than two nor more
than four million dollars per month,
and the Republics south of us,
including Hayti, issue an equal
amount. The Monetary Union, however,
would regulate the amount coined, and
have the power to suspend the coinage
when deemed necessary. No one doubts
the great advantage to trade and COM
merce in all parts of the continent that
would follow the adoption of coin that
would be received in all the Republics.
II would be an important step in inter
American states commerce, and would at
the same time establish silver as circu-
latiDg medium beyond the reach of dis
turbance by the monometalist power of
Wall street and London.
