cial condition of the society, and appeal
ing to members to pay up.
Another terror to Mr.. O'Rell is the
chairman who opens the evening with
prayer. 81 would as soon think of say
ing grace over glass of toddy as of
opening one of my lectures with prayer"
Once after the prayer Il hymn of ten or
twelve verses was sung, which made
matters worse vet. Maxs lectures are
humorous, and sad indeed was the effect
of his fun after that hymn and prayer.
"You may easily imagine that my first
joke fell dead flat"
Then there is the chairman who wishes
to show off his own knowledge of the
speakers topic. He will deliver whole
lecture himself before Introducing the
speaker. 1t wearies the audience and
disgusts the real lecturer. Again, when
the chairman is wit it is not much
better. He is apt to take away the ap'
plause that the lecturer thinks belongs
to him, and make him feel small indeed
when he rises to follow the brilliant
chairman.
Far above all the rest, lecturers prefer
the silent chairman, him who simply an
nounces the speakers name and topic
and sits down. He is very rare" says
Max O'Rell, "but when met with is ex.
ceedingly precious. We all love him.
To the nervous he is Il kind of support

England and Canada.

Sir Julius Vogel, X. c. NJ. G., writes
in The Nineteenth Century English) a
long paper to show that England will
not allow her colonies to secede. Her
interest is the federation of the empire.
At the same time it seems likely that
the greater colonies, Australia and Can
ada, will in course of not too long time
ask for separation, so as to form indie
pendent states.
One thing or another must happen.
Either the colonies of England will be
Joined to her in closer union, with repre-
sentation in the British parliament and
a share in the home government, thus
forming the most powerful empire on
the globe, or they will secede and set
up governments for themselves. Great
Britain will prefer the former, the colo
MES probably the latter, and the result
will be serious trouble. The question is
one whose solution cannot be put off
much longer.
Certainly so far as Canada is con-
cerned, perhaps also in the settlement OF
the matter in Australia, the United States
is warmly interested. Erastus Wiman
gave some significant testimony before
the United States committee on Cana.
dian affairs, holding its sessions in New
York. He said the Canadians showed a
desire for close intercourse with us, and
should be recognized, if not commercial
ly, then politically. Said Mr.. Wiman:
ga political union with Canada would
increase the property value of Canada {
hundredfold."

A Crn0IS,S Wisdom,

Milton Allen considers himself COM
missioned to found a new religion. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to him
that, as Brillat-Savarin said, we have al
ready in America a hundred religions
and only one gravy. At any rate Milton
has been reading Revelations till he sees
in the New Jerusalem of st. John the
United States of America and no place
else.
Some of his notions have solemn
good sense in them that is refreshing.
For instance he says:
In my new cosmogony insist upon the estab
Ishment of industrial schools in place of the col
leges which grind out mental dyspeptics. Iwoult
likewise teach the convict trade and change hi;
cell into decent living room.
Then again he is way off, even for
crank. He tells us:
The heavenly Jerusalem, which John describes
in Revelations, was nearly square in shape and
measured 1900 furlongs both in length and
breadth. Much cattle and horses should abide
therein, silver and gold should be plentiful and al
nations shall enter in and walk In the institutions
thereof
God rolled back the mists enveloping future
centuries and permitted John to gaze on the
United States of America
So our country corresponds in shape, size
and in all other respects with the prophecies con
corning the New Jerusalem.
Milton Allen, go to! If an attempt
were made to start the New Jerusa
lem in this country a company o.
spectators would speedily get hold o.
the twelve sacred entrances, and form
q trust in pearly gates and freeze out St
Peter himself if he didn't join the com
pany. What sort of figure would oul
successful business men cut in New
Jerusalem full Of angels, Milton?

A reaction against book stufing has
started in England. A society composed
of men who have spent a great part of
their lives in reading, among them men
distinguished in art, literature and the
learned professions, have formed an anti
reading society. They pledge themselves
to discourage public libraries and not to
read more than six books a year. They
frown on newspapers except those de-
voted to agriculture and sporting mat
tiers. Having read all they care to al
ready, it is easy for these distinguished
gentlemen to set their faces against the
reading habit. At any rate they will
save their eyesight.

twill be good stroke for our govern.
ment to have it understood that she will
stand by Great Britain in the trouble
with Portugal. Our four new cruisers,
"the squadron of evolution" are now OF
Lisbon in company with number OF

of interests of all the English speaking
peoples of the globe is an ideal whose
practicabilty cannot be too much in
sisted on The Pail Mall Gazette says of
the proposed agreement of the United
States to stand by Great Britain in the
Portuguese matter: every thing which
reminds the world that the republic and
the empire regard the English speaking

ests and common objects, is good" The

The Race Problem Again.

The shooting to pieces of eight negroes
by a mob of 800 masked men in South
Carolina does not look as though the
race problem was near being solved yet.
In fact, the truth must be confessed that
it is far from being solved. In collec-
tions of prison statistics there is one
thing that cannot easily be explained,
and that is the relatively large number
of colored convicts in the state prisons,
even of the north. What that implies,
what is the reason of it, no one can as
yet explain.
In the middle, few points seem clear
to those who wish to examine the negro
question without prejudice and with a
sincere desire to do justice to both black
and white. 1t is certain the south is
overloaded with negro population.
They are poor and must live by working
for others. There is not work enough
to go around, consequently swarms of
them are idle, constant menace to
civilization in the southern cities.
To remedy this deplorable state, Sena-
tor Butler has introduced the negro emf
grafton bill. 1t proposes that the blacks
shall be assisted by government to scat
ter out among the northern states and
western territories, thus giving them
work and relieving the south. Senator
Call introduced a resolution that We
purchase Cuba, and deport our negro
population thither. Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, wants them to go to the great
free state of Congo, in Africa, and help
civilize the natives.
Ithas been proposed that one or more
of the southern states of the Union, in
which the blacks already preponderate,
be given up to them exclusively, white
people moving out 1t is said by those
who claim to be informed that there is
today far less miscegenation between

A Great Project.

The greatest transportation project OF
modern times is now in process of de-
velopment. 1t is a railway and steam
ship system which will bring all parts of
North and South America within easy
reach of each other.
Many thousand miles of railway which
viii connect different parts of the sys-
tenn are already finished. A road 400
miles long, connecting the cities of b.
gotta and Buenos Ayres, is in construc-
ton. More than 1 300 miles of this road
are already finished. Cross roads from
ports on the Pacific will tap the main
line and feed it from all the states of
South America. Some of these are al
ready completed, others are finishing
rapidly. ,
The great trunk road will pass through
the heart of the ancient kingdom of the
Incas. 1t is popularity believed in Peru
and Bolivia that there are mines and
treasures of fabulous richness hidden
away somewhere in the heart of the
Andes, and that the secret of their To-
cality is guarded by descendants of the
Incas to this day, who live with a few
faithful Indian attendants in forests and
caves safe enough from the eye of the
white man. Such is the tradition.
Be that as it may, it is certain that the
mountains of Peru and Bolivia contain
immensely rich mines, hitherto unde-
veloped by reason of the obstacles nature
has placed in the way to them. These
obstacles the white man now at last is
surmounting. One of the cross railroads
mentioned leads from Valparaiso, in
Chill, across the Andes to Mendoza, in
the Argentine Republic. It traverses
the mountains by tunnel over six miles
long.
To complete the great system in north
ern South America, the Colombia Rail-
way and Navigation company has been
incorporated in the United States. From
a port at the mouth of the Magdalena
river, on the northern coast of Colombia,
railroads will be completed to points in
Peru All will connect with the trunk
line at Bogota or elsewhere along the
route. From the port at the mouth of
the Magdalena powerful steamers will
carry freight and passengers with speed
and safety to New Orleans and the south
ern point of Florida, thence all over
North America they will go by rail.
Introducing a Lecturer.
Max O'Rell has published an amusing
letter about how the chairmen of lecture
committees introduced him in this coun-
try.
In general they are to be dreaded. One
of the most monstrous is the chairman
who persists in making speech at the
close of the lecture. The lecturer has
reserved particularly telling point with
which to close. He speaks it impress
lively, expecting its effect on his audi
ence. He waits for the applause that is
the pleasant due of every worthy lee
turer. But 10! at the moment when it
should come and sweeten the tired soul
of the speaker, up steps Mr.. Chairman
and announces to the audience the name
of the next lecturer, occasionally MAX
