pened dearth of sjambolS hide, the
price of whips rose immensely, and .
giraffe skin sold readily for pounds and
more. Forthwith parties of Dutch and
H'stive hunters focked into the Kala-
Lari, and scores upon scores of giraffe
were slaughtered. On coming out with
their loads the hunters discovered that
they had overstocked the market and
that prices had rapidly fallen again.
Most up-country natives, especially
the Bechuanas, use the hide of
the giraffe for making the neat
sandals they habitually wear, prefer
ring it for its strength and toughness
to any other. 1t seems pity that for
the sake only of whips and sandals
and to furnish the hunter with meat
and an exciting form of sport, this
stately creature should be exterminated
from south-central Africa, as it bids
fair to soon be.

Something About a war-Ship That VIII
Defend tho Honor or the American
People----A Triumph of Mechanical
Skill.

The big armored cruiser, New York,
which was launched recently at the
Camp ship-yard in Philadelphia, is the
most powerful armored cruising war
ship yet built for the navy of the United
States. The New York will have a
cruising radius of $4,000 miles. The
ability of the New York to maintain
herself when at long distance away
from home has been secured chiefly by
her great size. The principal di-
mansions and characteristics of the
new vessel are: Length, $50 feet G l-2
inches; breadth, nodded, Ga feet;
draught, mean, % feet ga inches; dis
placement, $3.50 tons; maximum 90
knots; sustained sea speed, 1875 knots;
endurance on total coal capacity
ESTIMATED, $4,000 miles. The New
York's complement is set down at 457
officers and men. 1t is calculated that
the machinery of the new vessel will
developc 49, 600 indicated horse power.
The designed battery consists of six
eight-inch and twelve four-inch breech-
loading rifles, eight six-pounder and
four one-poundcr rapid-fre guns, and
four Cuttings. The armour belt
measures rs inches in thickness; that
OF the turret measurs 10 inches in
thickness. The protective deck plates
are inches thick
The new vessel has been designed
and constructed with the view of en-
gaging with the most powerful vessels
of her type abroad. In the list of
Great Britain's ships appear such arm
ored cruisers as the Aurora, with 5000
tons displacement, and cruising radius
at 10 knots, 5000 knots; Galatea, same
as the Aurora; Imperieuse, $500 tons
displacement, and cruising radius 1000
knots; Narcissus, 5000 tons, cruising
radius, 5000 knots; Nelson, 1850 tons
displacement, cruising radius, $3.50
knots; Northampton, 1880 tons dis
placement, cruising radius, 1850 knots;
Shannon, $500 tons displacement,
cruising radius, 1890 knots; Undaunted.
5000 tons displacement, cruising radius
5000 knots; Warsprite, $500 tons d.s-
placement, cruising radius, 1000 knots.

carry heavier armor than the New
York, and in many instances guns of
heavier caliber. 1t is a question,

In LA BELLE FRANCE.
SOME OF THE PICTURES WHICH
BELLE THE ADJECTIVE.
Jules simon's Great Work Of Liberating
Women and Girls From the
Chains. Of Slavery Worse Than
Death.

This law will probably soon be pro-
mulgated and will, as with one giant
stroke, deliver out of worse than Egyp-
tian bondage thousands upon thousands
OF poor, uneducated, toiling, brutalizcd
women and girls who at present hardly
dare to consider their souls their own,
and who decidedly consider themselves
slaves SO far as their bodies are con-
cerned.
Years ago Mr.. Simon tried to show
the nation the social perils involved in
the degradation of women to beasts of
burden; in the employment in the mines
of girls who wore mems clothes and did
mems work, and heard and used vile
speech, and became "filles-meres" al
most before they had ceased to be chill
dren themselves.
After the great tempests Of the war
and the commune had passed he took
up the work again. AS Senator he
has been able to do much. Yet the
Republic has been strangely backward
about undertaking real industrial re-
formation. NJ. Simon's adversaries
frequently remarked that the time was
not ripe for his reform. To which he
invariably replied that it was always a
proper time to save penshing souls.
This is indeed what he has done. In
protecting the bodies he is saving the
souls OF the poor women and girls of
the back country. Their helplessly
enslaved condition-they sometimes
toiled sixteen and even eighteen hours
daily-has made them hopeless. They
are drunken, immoral, fierce, deceitful,
and unwilling to assume social duties
M. Zola's picture Of them in "Gerrni-
nal" is not whit exaggerated.
The first thing to do in order to rev.
olutionize the character of these tens
of thousands of female workers was to
Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1892-01-15

enact that they should only work a
certain number Of hours per day. This
would muzzle the capitalists, who were
all against M. Simon; and it would
make it impossible for hard-hearted
and ignorant parents to ruin the lives
OF their offspring.
Year after year pissed and the law
could not be passed. Strikes occurred
in which the women and girls fought
so ferociously against soldiery and con-
stables that the public turned away
from them in disgust. and said; "They
are not human"
But M. Simon said '"They are human
and they have souls 30 be saved" And
he went at the work of saving them.
The liberator of thousands of women
and children. That is what they call
Jules Simon, the grand old man of
France.
Jules Simon has been within the last
thirty years q renowned orator on
whose words the public hung as if he
were god; chief of the Republican
party when the Second Empire was vi
cious, in its dying throes, and when it
was extremely dangerous to be Re-
publican; an earnest free trader in
land where protection is considered as
the eleventh commandment; Minister
of Fine Arts, which means a magnifi-
cent salary and the right to live in a
palace--yet he has never moved from
this simple domicile!
He has been more than all these. He
has been an important member OF the
political branch of the Ministry; is a
life Senator, and since 1875 has been
one of the Forty Immortals OF the
Academy, but he has never been will
ing to make change of residence.
An American or an Englishman who
had changed about in office, and had as
many distinguished honors as NJ. Simon
in the same number of years, would have
had at least half n dozen splendid resi-
dences and refurnished some OF them.
NJ. Simon's little sitting room has not
been refurnished since the exhibi
of 1867.
This little detail gives good idea OF
the simplicity OF the good man, who
has been necessary and salutary brake
on the wheel of the French Republic.
II. Simon has always stood for liberty,
not license; for freedom, not persecu-
ton. 1t has sometimes made him I'M
with the mass OF his own
as it did when he opposed
jules Ferry's plan for expelling the
non-authorized religious congregations
from France; but he has always been
true to his own high conception OF
liberty.
III. Simonis not tall, but was robust
In middle life, and even now is sinewy
and strong, although little bent He
is "a; he was born before Waterloo,
and has been famous for almost half n
century. He has large, massive
head, bright, sparkling eyes, and an
amount of facial expression which
many an actor must envy him. When
he talks, the eyes, the eyebrows, the,
wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, |
the very checks, seem to talk also He
can impress vast audiences by his
gestures when they cannot hear his /
voice. And those who are near do not !
reed TO hear what he says, forthey can
