A Congo journal.

NOW OTk NtNS.
In the course of events a new period
ical has appeared whose sole mission
is TO picture life on the Congo, and
incidentally to show what great things
the Belgians are doing there. 1t rs no
weak and sickly affair, as might be
expected of Il sheet devoted to region
which Burton affirmed would always
be sure death to white men. On the
contrary, it is lusty infant. 1t has
eight pages little smaller than
IIarper's Weekly, uses a fine quality
of paper, is well printed, the pictures
are of excellent quality, and the paper
is to appear fortnightly. LIE Congo

THE FARMERS PAPER,

"Colman's Rural World" the paper
founded by Hon. Norman j. Colman, and
now published by his son, Chalmer ID.
Colman, at $40 Olive street, st. Louis, Mo-,
comes to us looking as fresh as morning
in May. Its heavy white paper is decked
in an entirely new dress of type, and new
title page, and the various departments
are full to overfiowing of the best OF good
reading on all timely topics, and especially
ON all that pertain to the breeding of
stock. 1t is evidently the intention of the
publisher to keep his paper in the front
rank of stock and agricultural journalism,
and to give no farmer an excuse for going
away from the west to get what he needs
in that direction. To get an idea of what
this paper really is one must see it, there
fore we suggest to our reader the proprie-
ty of sending postal card to the "Rural
World" st. Louis, Mo-, asking for sam
pie copy, or remitting one dollar, and thus
getting its weekly visits for a year.
The Intelligencer Company will furnish
It's subscribers the st. Louis Christian
Eyengelist in connection with this paper
Tor $50. The two for $3.

Dana on Watterson.

Our gifted and gallant friend, Colonel
Henry Watterson, has touched once
more the tangles of the star eyed ones
luciferous locks and has had the usual
shock:
I'VE war against protection, plutoc-
racy and agraTian pensionmonogery
And we propose TO carry the war into
Africa: 10 shake the rotten citadels Of
unholy greed 20 their foundations and
TO make the robbers howl. The black
flag is up against corruption in high
places. No dalliance with zealots; no
quarter 70 thieves If this be treason,
let the CALLED jade vince and make the
most of it, for when the battle is over
and the victory is won our withers will
be found to be as ever, stanch and true,
unworsted and unwrung."
Whoop. hooray! Away with plutoc-
racy. Away with 'pensionmonogery
whatever that may be. Shake the cita-
del, make Rome and the robbers howl,
carry the war into Africa, put spurs into
the fat TANKS of the pampered jades Of
Asia, pile Pelion on Ossa and both upon
the skyey top of old Olympus, take arms
against a sea of troubles, eat crocodile,
sit upon a monument, grin like the
young eyed cherubim. bite off your face
70 spite your nose. throw pity TO the
dogs, make the welkin ring, fear not a
painted devil, leave thy vain bibble
babble, be smart rs lizards stings.
speak startlingly and rash, environ with
wolves the trembling lamb, protection,
fight till your eyelids will no longer
wag, pour the sweet milk of concord
into hell. be as your old selves again
and let all split! Aye, let the pebbles on
the beach flip the stars and rainbows
kiss the starry eyes. The black flag is
mp and the jag is not. Hooray for poetry!
Nine cheers and a Tammany tiger for
the star eyed goddess, and the same
number for Henry Watterson, the gem
erous, intrepid and untiring leader Of

Etiquette and Moral Teaching.

Did you ever stop to think that II one
half the anxiety expended in teaching
child not to eat with its knife were directed
toward teaching it to be charitable and
pure, truthful and sweet hearted the
world would be better inn to tarry att
1t is horrid and vulgar and all that, OF
course, to put ones knife between ones
lips bot put it there and keep it there, say
|, to ali eternity, rather than give room to
scornful words and bits of scandal AS for
me, shall grow gray headed perhaps, and
decrepit if the Lord spares me; my chill
dren's children shall rise up and call ms
grandmother, the friends OF my youth shall
wane also as wanes the harvest moon, but
even down to and through the palsy OF
Efe's decline | shall protect my right TO
take up bit of elusive potato with what
ever utensiI it seemeth easiest to avail my
self of. | do not think the angel who
guards the celestial gate will stop to ask
SO much whether we used our knives In
eating as whether we slashed and stabbed
at each other with weapons of scandal and
indiscriminating hate.
There will be worse things charged
against us. | am thinking. than the breach
of social amenities or the failure In con
ventional usages The question pro
pounded will take hold of deeper matters,
and our entrance into the great company
of the elect shall depend on graver issues.
So let US spend less time in polishing the
externals; let us look to 1t that not only
the fabric of the character we weave grows
glistening and white, but also that the tex
ture is firm and there are no dropped
stitches and shoddy warp for the light OF
eternity to reveal.-Chicago Herald

How French Girls study.

In French private school there is one
thing to be borne in mind-the element OF
stability in a schoolgirls life She enters
at five years of age, sometimes at four, the
school where she will remain till her edu
cation is finished. Her teachers know her
from earliest childhood They watch her
character develop and her mind unfold.
They understand her capacities Perhaps
her mother has been trained in the same
school before her or She may have rela
tiyes among the nuns AT any rate, she Is
their child. They know and love her and
they Law the foundations OF her education
well. for they are responsible for the whole
structure
They have the end in view from the be
ginning. They lead her up gradually
from one thing to another. They calmly
Law out for her courses of study embracing
five. six, ten and even twelve years. There
ia ALWAYS plenty of time and no hurry
Things are taken quietly and gone into
deeply The school terms are longer and
school life is less broken into by vacations
than with US. The girls study more hours
a week and more weeks in the year than
we do.
School opens the last week in September,
and does not close til the second week 10
August There are no spring or winter
vacations and no saturday holidays. Six
weeks in the late summer, anu few days
each ut New Year and Easter all Sundays
and the principal church holidays, and
usually half holiday Cd Thursday, are
all the breaks made in school life, which
goes on almost interrupted in slow, health
full regularity for ten months and hall
out OF the twelve.-Atlantic Monthly.
