The New York Boy is Up in
History

A friend of mine who sometimes in
dulges in the luxury OF a Sunday
school class told me of an experience
of his in which his historical knowl-
edge was shown to be of very in
ferior brand.p In the course OF the
lesson at a mission school one Sun
day he had occasion, with what NOR
al intent know not, to refer to the
story of Capt. John Smith, and add
ed that after having been rescued
from a death of torture by Pocha-
hontas he had made her his wife.
This statement was in perfect accord
with his schoolday traditions, but it
did not suit one tow headed lad,
whose big toe was protruding from
his shoe, and whose trousers we're
patched in a dozen different places.
"She didn't never be his wife, teach
err he made haste to explain. ''Po-
cahontas married Capt. Rolfe, and
went to England to live with him"
Well aware that history is continu-
ally on the improve, and that the
New York boy is never wrong, my
friend was completely sifenced. New

Widows Inheritance.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The constant improvement in the
legal position of women is further
shown by the passage in England
recently of an act regulating the
inheritance of widows. 1t brings
them, in this respect, to a very sim
liar standing to that of their sisters
in the country, and provides that the
real and personal estate of every
man who shall die intestate, leaving
a widow but no issue, shall belong
to the widow absolutely and exclu-
sively,, when the net of such estates
does not exceed $4,000. 49,.
Where it exceeds this amount the
widow is entitled to this sum abso-
lutely, having claim for it upon the
whole estate with interest at 4 per
cent. from the date of her husbands
death until it is paid; this without
affecting her right to her further
share and interest in the residue of
the estate remaining after the pay
ment Of the $4,000. This law which
the English solons have thus tardily
adopted is, practically, the long
existing law OF this state.

Four "FreSh' Pittsburgers,

Four young men of Pittsburg have
planned an expedition into Africa at,
the head waters of the Congo kiver
with the object of securing proofs as,
to the truth of Stanley's reports in
regard to his explorations in that
region. These ambitious young en-
plorers expect to follow the path
which Mr.. Stanley says he hewed
from Yambuya to the province of
Equatorial, over which Emin reigned.
The Pittsburg method of giving
the lie to Mr.. Stanley is unique, to
say the least, but the fresh Young
Pittsburgers will find when they get
to Africa-if they ever make q start
that it takes something beside
mere bravado to equip men for the
work of exploration in Africa. .
African vegetation is not easily
discouraged, and the track made
by Mr.. Stanley on the way from
Yambuya to the East Coast of Africa.
didn't remain track very long. It.
has been shown that even the ll-fate1
rear column could not find the path
hewed out by Mr.. Stanley's sappers,
and was compelled to turn back to
its camp of brutality, discontent.
and starvation, where Barttelot died
a violent death at the hands OF an,
incensed native.
There is another thing that the:
Pittsburgers have overlooked. The,
world. at-large may not regard Pitts
burg veracity any more highly than,
the ambitious young Pittsburgers;
regard Mr.. Stanley word of honor.
Then another expedition would be,
necessary to prove the character of
the Pittsburg explorers; and after
the third expedition, perhaps another;
and SO on indefinitely.

FROM DAY TO DAY.

Only from day to day
We hold our way. ...s .a
Uncertain ever, II
Though hope and gay desire
Touch with their fire
Each fresh endeavor.
Only from day to day
We grope our way
Through hurryiny hours;
But still our castles fair
Lit to the air
Their glistening towers,
And still from day to day
Along the way
Beckon us ever,
To follow, follow. follow,
Der hill and hollow,
With fresh endeavor.
Sometimes, triumphant, gay,
The bugles play
And trunpets sound
From out those glistening towers,
And rainbow showers
Bedew the ground:
Then "sweet. oh, sweet the way"
We smiling say,
Anu FORWARD press
With swift. impatient feet
And hearts that beat
With eagerness.
Yet still beyond, the gay
Sweet bugles play,
The trumpets below,
Howe'er we flying haste,
Or tagging waste
The hours that go:
Still far and far away,
Till comes the day
We gain that peak
In Darien; then. blind
No more we find,
Perchance, what we do seek.

Eating Human Flesh.

The most repulsive food which human
beings could eat is man. Fortunately
cannibalism, although once very gen.
eral, is now mainly confined to the most
degraded tribes of the South Sea Islands,
and to some districts Of Australia and
central Africa Lindsay, Of Pitscottie,
relates that man, his wife and family
were burned to death on the east coast
of Scotland for eating children whom
they had stolen, and during the French
revolution the heart Of the unfortunate
Princess Lambelle was actually torn out
Of her body by one of the yelling saw
ages near, taken to restaurant and
there cooked and eaten.
Human flesh is said not to be unpala-
table, and this is confirmed by the horri-
BILE narrative given by Lindsay. He men
tions that as one of the girls was being
taken to execution she exclaimed
Wherefore chide ye with me, as if l
had committed an unworthy act? Give me
credence, and trow me, if ye had expert
ence of eating men and women's flesh ye
would never forebare it again" The
Tannese of our own day distribute hu-
man flesh in little bits to their friends as
delicious morsels, and say that the flesh
of black man is preferable to that of a
white one, for the latter tastes salt;
other cannibals hold the ame.-Scottish

q. 8. Judges and Railway Properties.

q. 8. Judges and Railway Propertles.
This effort to obtain receivership,
which means the temporary control of
the whole railway, generally results in a
violent struggle between different inter-
management through the receivership.
The determination of whether receiver
ship is to be had, and of the person or
persons to be such receivers, lies in the
hands Of single judge. This class Of
cases gives to the circuit judges of the
United States, by transferring to them
the management and operation of vast
railway properties, degree of response
bility and patronage never originally in
tended to be placed in their power.
The opportunities thus presented to q
court of justice for the exercise Of pat
ronage, the reward Of friends, the selec-
ton of counsel for receivers, the ap-
pointment of masters, and the manipu-
lation and adjustment Of large pecuniary
interests, are in themselves very much
to be deprecated. While no scandals Of
any magnitude have as yet arisen from
this power of appointment and the pat
ronage and pecuniary expenditure Incl
dent thereto, it is, after all said and
done, modern, and indeed much more
formidable, form Of judicial property
administration than that which corrupt
ed the court Of chancery in England in
the exercise of its jurisdiction over the
estates of wards in chancery.
In the western and southwestern dis
tricts Of our circuit courts Of the United
States properties larger in extent and
in pecuniary value than any that passed
under the control Of the English courts
of chancery between 1920 and 1920 in
the administration Of the estates Of
wards have thus passed under the con-
troll Of the individual circuit judges of
the United States.-Simon Sterne in

injury is liable to be done. Warm water
is the best possible, and about the only
safe, wash" Do not scratch the ears
with any metal; pin heads, hairpins or

scream If an insect enters the ear; warm
water will drown it, and wash out the
