Ed. Messenger the tonsorial artist
for the colored department in town. is
building a comfortable dwelling OF
the west side of Hood street opposite
the church. Such efforts towards the
improvement of Providence on the
part of the colored folks are highly
commendable and well worthy of
favorable mention. Indeed there has
of late been several residences put up
by colored people in the Davis addi-
ton and Mcclure portion of the lands
below town.

First Annexation of Canada.

In our day, when talk about the annex
alton OF Canada to the United States has
been so freely revived, it is interesting to
remember that it is question of Ameri-
can politics almost as old as American
history.
More interesting still is it to recall that
lust one hundred years before the election
of Abraham Lincoln to be President of
the United States Canada was actually
annexed to the American colonies under
the sovereignty OF England. This was
brought about by decisive military con-
quest, after stubborn and bloody war Of
seven years duration, ending in the capt.
ulation by its governor at Montreal (176o)
and its surrender of all Canadian posses
sions and military posts John g. Nico-
Law in the Chautauquan.

Decorations for women.

Prussia has several decorations for WOO
men. The oldest is the Order Of the Swan,
founded in 1440, allowed to lapse during
the Reformation and revived in lS4S. The
Order of Louise, named after Prussia's
most beautiful Queen, was founded In 1914
by Frederick William III. Its decoration
of the first class is given to women for
meritorious service in nursing the wound
ed in war; Of the second class, to women
distinguished for phiianthropic work
generally. The Cross OF Merit was insti-
tuted by Emperor William !. on his fifth
eth birthday, 'tas q recognition OF the
grand self sacrifice which the women OF
Germany showed for the soldiers in the
last war;" Special medals for women
also were struck In 1907 IA and 1S70-1.

All Kinds Of "Americans., ;.

The Mexican hotel only furnishes
rooms and one has to forage for the ma
teriaI needs of life. So we went to the
American restaurant. This was kept by
an Englishman and a German, the cooks
were Chinese, who gave us delicious
French cooking, the walters were Mexi-
can, and the patrons were largely Ameri-
can, with generous sprinkling of Ger
mans, Frenchmen and bull-fghters.
These last, with their gorgeous suits,
their rich hats with the odd little braid
of hair tucked nnder them, and their
proud swagger and eager talk, made quite
an interesting study for us.-Letter in

Darwin and the Deadly Cobra.

There is a story about Darwin and the
snakes. He used to go into the Zoologi-
cal Gardens in London and, standing by
the glass case containing the cobra de
capello, put his forehead against the
glass while the cobra struck out at him.
The glass was between them; Darwin's
mind was perfectly convinced as to the
inability Of the snake to harm him, yet
he would always dodge. Time after time
he tried it, his will and reason keeping
him there, his instinct making him
dodge. The instinct was stronger than
both will and reason.
