Eternal Peace,

If our God and Father dwells in
eternal peace IT, himself, he must also
be the God Of peace in all dealings
with his creatures, even the worst OF
them. He must long to make them
like himself. both in character and in
blessedness; and to this idea agrees
the whole teaching OF the New Testa-
ment and of the Old Testament also.
This peace OF God breathed into the
soul by God himself. and becoming a
bond OF good will between man and
man, constitutes a bond between ma
ton and nation. and brings the a0orld
into unity and peace.-Christian
Union.

Bear Your Burden.

Il can't bear this affection" said q
weeping father who had just buried a
dear son whom he tenderly loved.
Eyes, you can, and you must, and you
will" said godly woman in reply
to him. you love God. and he loves
you, and he will help you to bear it,
and you will in this world or the next
see that it was best that you should
bear it." That idea brought comfort
to his stricken soul, aud he did bear
the affection in the sweet thought
that God "doe,h all things WE'LL"
even when he afflicts those he loves
and means to save.-Signs Of the

A Smile.

Who can tell the value of a smile?
1t costs the giver nothing. but is be-
yond price to the erring and unrelent-
ing. the sad and cherries, the lost
and forsaken. 1t disarms malice. SUBJ
dues temper, and turns hatred to love,
revenge to kindness, and paves the
darkest path with gems Of sunlight. A
smile on the brow betrays kind
heart, . pleasant friend, an affection
ate brother, a dutiful son and happy
husband. 1t adds q charm to beauty,
decorates the face OF the deformed,
and makes a lovely woman resemble
an angel in paradise.-Farm and

Sound Logic.

When we expect of any Individual
more than he can perform, and let
him feel that we do. we do him a seri-
Gus injury and weaken our whole in
fluence over him. 1t is a species Of
oppression which produces discour-
agement, and often leads the one who
has depended on this stimulus to give
up his efforts in despair. ''Of what
use is it to try to satisfy one who de-
mands impossibilities?" he says. and
the endeavor ceases.-N. Y. Ledger.

OCOWE DWARFS.
Description Of q Diminutive People
Dwelling In Africa.

Dwelling In Africa.
At q recent meeting OF the Paris
Geographical society letter was read
from NJ. Paul Crampel, the explorer of
the Ogowe basin, giving an account OF
the Bayagas. a diminutive people who
inhabit the great forests extending to
the north of the Ogowe and are proba-
bly, nearly related to the Wambuttis
described by Stanley.
The Bayagas live scattered among
the M'fangs, to whom their relation is
one Of semi-servitude. When M'fang
chief becomes powerful enough he sur
rounds himself with band Of these
'bohemians" of the forest. They be-
come his hunters and ivory-seekers.
In return he supplies them with manioc
and bananas. Changing their places
of abode every four or five days the
Bayagas are not able to cultivate the
soil. They are great hunters; the ele-
plant is their principal game, their
sole weapon of attack being very
sharp two-edged spear about 81 feet in
length. Physically there is a great
contrast between the Bayagas and the
M fangs. The former are dwarfs COM
pared with the latter, whose height is
often from 5 feet 9 inches to feet IL
inches or more. The average height
of the Bayagas is feet Z inches.
They are stout well proportional and
muscular The color of their skin is a
yellowish brown. What strikes the
observer most at first sight are the
prominence of the superciliary arches.
the great thickness of eyebrows, which
are continuous, and the projection of
the cheekbones. The neck is very
short, the head set into the shoulders,
chest broad and well developed, the
arm strong and wrist stout; the legs
crooked. The dominating character
istic of their physiognomy is an ex-
preston of fear.
The traveller had not much oppor-
tunlty of studying the women. He
noticed, however, especially the mutt
lation of their ears, the lobe of which
is pierced by pieces of wood or ivory,
and in this way is gradually enlarged
until it touches the shoulder. The
Bayagas, although polygamists, do not
initiate their neighbors or masters,
among whom a large number of wives
is considered to be the greatest evil
dence OF wealth. Among the Bayagas
there is a paucity Of married women
owing largely to the family organiza
ton, which tends to prevent marriages
A man has often only one wife; thu
chief two or three. The family il
"patriarchal." The chief (the patri
arch) lives with his children an(
grandchildren; sometimes, but rarely
one of his brothers joins the commu'
nifty, which never contains any bu
blood relations. A young Bayags
when married stays with his wife
family, and he only has the right II
return to his original community ant
remove his wife thither when he has I
son and when that son has killed al
elephant. The son always remain
with the mothers group to replac
her. A Bayaga woman never marie
any one of another tribe. Their Ian
guage is utterly incomprehensible to
stranger, even to the M'fangs.

Chrlstlanitv and Art.

TIE chief inspiration of the great
painters has come from the Christian
religion. The successive scenes in
the life OF its divine founder which
are described in the Holy Book-the
Babe in His mothers arms, the wise
men visiting Him, the entry into Jeru-
salem, Christ with His disciples
these have enlisted the almost in
spired enthusiasm OF the Raphaels,
the Murillos. the Da Vincis, and have
thus enkindled the devotional ardor OF
successive generations of saints and
martyrs. II the world owed no other
debt to the Christian religion than for
the art which it has stimulated, thii
alone would have indicated its righ
to be.-Harper's Bazaar.

Faith the Mai inspiring.

Faith, which is the source OF SO
much human happiness, is the main
spring of human activity. 1t moves
more than half the machinery OF life.
What leads the husbandman, for
example, to yoke his horses, when, no
bud bursting to clothe the naked
trees, no bird singing in the hedge
rows or frosty skies, Nature seems
dead? With faith in the regularity of
her laws, in the ordinance Of her God,
he believes that she is not dead but
sleepeth; and so he plows and sows in
the certain expectation that he shall
reap, and that these bare fields shall
be green in summer with waving corn,
and be merry in autumn with SUM-
Drowned reapers. The farmer is a
man of faith. So is the seaman. No
drawer man than he who goes down to
see Gods wonders in the deep.
Venturing his frail bark on a sea
ploughed by so many keels, but wear
ing on its bosom the burrows of
none, with neither path to fol-
low nor star to guide, the mariner
knows no fear. When the last blue
hill has dipped beneath the wave, and
he is alone on the shoreless sea, he is
calm and confident - his faith in the
compass-needle, which, however his
ship may turn, or roll, or plunge, over
points true to the north. An example
his to be followed by the Christian
with his Bible; on that faith ventur-
ing his all, life, crew and cargo, he
steers his way boldly through darkest
nights and stormiest oceans, with
nothing but a thin plank between
him and the grave. And though
metaphysicians and divines have in
volved this matter Of faith in mystery,
be assured there is nothing more
needed for your salvation or mine,
than that God would inspire US with
a belief in the declaration OF his
Word, as real, heartfelt. and practical
as that which we put in the laws of
PrOvidence-in the due return of day
and night, summer and winter, seed
time and harvest.-Thomas Guthrie.

Aid the Discharged Prisoner.

The Prison Association of New York
has been before the public for nearly
half century. 1t has helped thou
sands Of discharged prisoners; intro
duced improvements into our penal

such institutions as the Elmira Re-
formatory and the Burnham Indus
trial Farm; and is to-day doing the
largest special work of any prison
ASSOCIATION in the world, with the ex-
-ception, perhaps, OF the National
Prison Association OF the United
States, which was an outgrowth Of its
own work. Its work has increased
vastly during the last two years. and,
although its old friends have been
staunch in supplying its needs, its in
come is not large enough to meet the
demands upon it. The Association is
already somewhat in debt. and must
modify its work unless it receives aid
from the public. Since occupying its
own building it has been tradition
OF the Association to turn away no
worthy man who gave evidence of a
wish to reform. 1t has furnished
thousands Of days work; has clothed
hundreds of men; has furnished books
70 prison and jail libraries; and has
Instituted careful inspection OF penal
institutions. Its work is OF economic
value; every criminal who Is helped
to reform through its agency ceases
to be menace to society. The Pris-
on Association knows no creed, no
race; its work is one OF the broades,
complexion, and, as such, it appeals
to all classes.-Christian Union.

EDITORS HERALD: 1 owe you an
apology for again writing in reply to the
letter of Mr.. Rees of today. What led
to the offensive remark which he adroit-
ly tries to shoulder on me, was the fact
that when he proposed to raise the
salaries of those whom the police COM
missioners recommended, except one,
Iwarned him the time had gone by when
he could do 80 by putting on them party
collar, as you would pet dog, and SO
increase taxes under such guise. can
not see how man can consistently pose
as champion of Taxpayers and tax-eaters
at the same time. 1 am in favor of good
pay for good service, irrespective of
party or nationality, in municipal mat
ters. Very respectfully,

HANNA COLLEGE MUSICALE.
An Enjoyable Event Given on Yester-
day Afternoon.

Friends, parents and pupils were
present in the assembly hall at Hanna
college yesterday afternoon in goodly
numbers to listen to one of the delight
ful entertainments prepared by the
instructors of that institution. The
pupils had brought quantities of flowers,
and these with pepper branches were
used to decorate the hall very prettily.
AT l 80 the scholars assembled in the
school hall and marched to music into
the assembly hall, where seats were pro-
vided. Prof. Wilhartitz, of the musi-
cal department, under whose direction
the entertainment was given, presided.
The programme was as follows:
Piano, Sonatine Clement, Estelle
Heart; vocal trio, Mendelsohn, Maud
Reese, Lillian Lewis, Estelle Heartt;
Alpine song, Willhartitz, Miss M. A.
Brown; recitation, Daily News, Clara
German; piano, The Swallows, Joyous

Smith; lecture, Modern Education,
Prof. G. G. Swafford; vocal, Long Ago,
(from the Merry Monarchy Lillian
Lewis; vocal, Waltz Song, Arditti, Maud
Reese; Hunting Song, Mendelsohn,
Fannie Dodd.
The selections were all rendered most
acceptably, and showed that the pupils
had put much preparation upon them.
The recitations of both Miss Henderson
and Miss Smith, were much enjoyed.
The Alpine song, the music to which
was composed by Professor Wilhartitz,
and which was sung by Miss M. Adele
Brown, who has charge of the vocal de-
partment, was very pleasingly rendered,
as hearty applause testified. The lee
ture by Professor Swafford, director of
the manual training department, was
an informal explanation of this work,
and OF the need which existed for it in
every complete system of education.
He said that Cain and Abel were the
first TO be trained in this work, and ever
since that time the world had need of
such instruction.
He described the growth of this
method of educating the hand as we'll as
the head, and told what excellent work
had been done by graduates of these
schools. The entertainment was very
enjoyable one.

A Republican Feast Knocked Out by a

An example of the way Republicans
regard the legislators of their party was
recently shown in peculiar way. A
well known Republican, who has con-
gressional aspirations, suggested to a
city official that it would be good plan
to invite the members of the delegation
to banquet, and get them to talk about
their work, explain the new laws they
had passed, and hold a political love
feast.
The city official fell right in with the
plan, and set to work to carry it through,
by going to see prominent members of
the party and getting their signatures to
call for the affair, as we'll as an agree
ment from each OF them to contribute
seven dollars and a half towards pay
ing the bills. All went we'll until
