vitality, while women cannot remain
there at all and he healthy. He
therefore advocates the emigration of
Southern negroes to the Congo section,
for to them the climate is not particu-
larry Objectionable. Land, he says,
can be had for the asking. and even
the slightest cultivation results in won
derful production. With negroes popu-
lating this country, he believes its
great resources would be rapidly dcvel-
oped and it would soon take its place
AS nation.
The arming of the French infantry
with the Lebel rifle is now going on
rapidly. st. Etienne and Tulle are the
chief centers of the manufacture, and
the government works at the former
place have of late been nearly doubled
in size. For some weeks past The
weapons have been finished and de-
livered at the rate of 500 Il day, and
1000 are already in the hands of the
troops. The anxiety of the French
government to keep secret the details
of the invention is still extraordinary.
Soldiers are not allowed to touch their
rifles save in the presence of commits
stoned officer, and the cartridges that
are from time to time served out are
counted, receipts are given for them,
and those which are not expended have
to be inspected every three hours dur
ing the period that elapscs before they
that the regulations have been SO
strictly enforced that not n private in
the French army knows even the color

Prince Bismarck was one day pass
ing through the royal palace at Berlin,
when he entered room in which the
young princes were nerrfly rompine
and dancing to the music Of II barre
organ. The youngsters insisted that
Prince Bismarck should stay and
dance with them. 81 am to old,
said the stiff and stately scptuagenar
: ian, "and really cannot dance, bu
if TIE crown prince will dance will
o grind the organ.' The bargain wa
at once struck. The crown prince
joined his two brothers, and Prime
Bismarck ground away merrily at tin
e organ while the children danced OF
d in high glee. In the midst of thei
!, mirth the door opened and the youn
, kaiser entered. He smiled to see tn
redoubtable Reichskanzler grindin
- the barrel organ, and, after word {
v greeting to his sons, he observed j
}. mock displeasure to Prince Bismarck
"You begin in good time to make tn
= heir apparent dance to your piping
f Why, this is the fourth generation {
T. Hohenzollerns to whom you devo1
yourself"'-St. James Gazette.

in regard to the treatment of the Jew

the movement is the fear of the Engli'
