A man who had been q warm friend
Of Henry Ward Beecher tells this:
Almost the last time | sew Mr.. Deech-
er," he sid, Il was viii him in com
pany with a group of men, one of which
was Colonel IngersolL The colonel was
airing some Of lis well known religious
opinions, but ,Ir. Beecher for some time
took no notice of the half challenge of
his remarks.
He sat silent, with his head bowed.
Finally, in a pause after an especially
daring assertion from the colonel, he
spoke slowly:
Ion my way here he said, sat the
corner of Fulton street and Broadway,
where the press of vehicles is close
and dangerous, a man, cripple, was
trying to cross the street. A stout crutch
supported him, and be was making prog
ress when a fellow ran out and knocked
his crutch from under him, leaving him
helpless against the dangers bearing
down on every side.
" That cripple, SIR he went on, sud-
denly raising his voice and throwing
back his leonine head, is humanity; his
crutch is Christianity, and you are the
one who would push it away, offering
nothing in its stead. New York Times.

Prehistoric auins In AFRICA.

81 have just returned from Europe"
said Howard Hoffman, where / have
sojourned ever since my return from
Zanzibar six months ago. l have been
pursuing a course of investigation in the
British museum that had hoped would
throw some light on the recent discov-
cries that have been made in Africa.
Not far into the interior of Africa from
Zanzibar l in company with others re-
Gently discovered traces of prehistoric
city of no small dimensions. This city
that 1 speak of must have been capital
of some ancient province or kingdom.
1t was some five miles square and was
surrounded by vail of masonry, the
foundations, with a few projections, of
which still remain and indicate an ex-
cellent knowledge of masonry. The wall
was undoubtedly meant for protection
against enemies, for it was strongly
built and must have been at least 20 feet
high. 1t is now overgrown by great
tropical vines, and parts of it extend
through impenetrable morasses.
Inside few remains of houses still
exist, and the outlines of great temple
or palace on the highest ground within
the inclosure. Some excavations have
been made and a few relics brought TO
light, such as pottery of the Egyptian
type and broken bits of welded copper
that may have come from a suit of mail
Some idea of symmetry must have OBJ
tanned in that distant period, for the
houses were built along streets or wind
ing lanes, the precursor of our modern
thoroughfares. The whole is overgrown
at present by mass of tropical plants
and great old trees that have been stand
ing for hundreds of years. To what
nation those people belonged cannot be
told, but the ruins would indicate that
once Africa's shores were the seat of a
great civilization and a great COM
merce. st. Louis obe-Democrat.

They Had Never Seen Roses.

Two ladies. managers. came into q
school the other morning shortly after it
had opened. One of them wore beau
tiful jacquerinot rose, on which the
eyes of the whole school We're at once
turned admiringly. Noting this. the
owner of the flower gave it to one of the
teachers for the children.
Now, children, how many of you
know what this isl" asked the young
lady, holding up the flower. Nearly ev-
cry little one shook his head to indicate
ignorance.
One small boy and couple of little
girls piped ont with great importance:
Its a posie. please. ma'am."
But no one had ever heard of a rose.
Most of the children had never seen one
before. The flower was passed along
and small noses fingered longingly over
its fragrance, while dirty little palms
patted its velvet petals caressingly. No
one saw or thought of ANYTHING that
morning but the rose. The teacher put
it in glass of water to preserve it, and
when school was dismissed each child
was rendered supremely blissful by the
gift of tiny petal. As they filed out of
the door each little waif clutched his
treasure tightly in his small hand. while
he murmured softly to himself the name.

4 Discussion Over White Cats.

EYES," said the man by the window,
who overheard our conversation, cts
true every time, gentlemen, that white
eats are deaf"
Prove it," said one of the party who
mad BEEN disputing the theory.
Il can prove it as easy as rolling off a
log. Ny old aunt down in the state Of
Maine raised white cat. and she's alive
and kicking yet, fur's know-the cat,
not my aunt-and she told me-my aunt,
not the cat-that the animal was so deaf
she could not hear the clock strike
fact"
That's nothing" said a man on the
other side of the car who had been listen
ing intently. 1T don't prove that the
hull race of white cats is def. Why, we
had white cat in our family-raised it
myself-and it heard so well we had to
stop the clock"
There was a long silence; then some
one piped feebly:
WHY"
Because she thought every tick was a
mouse in the wall, and she tore all the
wall paper off trying to get at it.
No ore said word for about an hour;
then the man who knew white cats were
deaf spoke out:
Boys" he said solemnly, give him
the belt Detroit Free Press.

a Man Who Loves Flowers.

For several years past well known
gentleman has been in the ha every
morning Of standing in front of Fourth
street for SITS place for at least 10 min
utes. He is crank on flowers, and after
gazing into the window he enters the
store and purchases a 10-cent flower.
He tells the proprietor that he loves to
chew the flower, and nine mornings out of
ten he gets rose. The gentleman in
question is Tennesseean and is the pos
SCISSOR of one of the finest lighthouses in
the city.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Projecting rurnentine Fo-.sts

Turpentine farmers in South Carolina
and Georgia protect their property
against loss by fire in summer by burn
ing the grass and underbrush in mid
winter. The turpentine land is thus
protected by the destruction in advance
of such light material as feeds forest
fire, and the woodlands are made up Of
tall pine trees standing in tracts free
from small timber and underground
When spring opens the fresh young grass
puts forth from the ashes of the winter
fires, and The ground is soon covered with
a carpet of rich green.-New York Sun.

TIE Civic vnluc of the Teacher.

Since the days of Aristotle aud his
predecessor, Plato, there has, think.
been no great ethical or political writer
who has ignored what I may perhaps
call the civic value of education. Soc
rates himself Gf indeed the ''Theages"
is good authority, in passage which
is possibly familiar to you as it is quot
ed by Roger Aschami in The Scholemas-
ter" enunci&.es the opinion that mo one
goeth about more godlie purpose than
he that is mindful of the good bringing
up both of hys owne and other mems chill
dren." What greater or better serv-
ice says Cicero. ''can we render to the
state than by teaching and educating the
young"
st. Chrysostom, setting the seal of
Christian authority to the Judgment of
the refined pagan world, exclaims,
There is no greater art than this of
education, for what is equal to the pow
er of disciplining the character and
molding the understand of a YOUTH

Gifts For the Sick.

took jelly, fruit and wine to a desti-
tute consumptive whose appetite needed

confession that she was fond of flowers
with bunch of white hyacinths her
face gloyged with happiness. tried the
flowers on a cultured well to do blind

the ignorant girl had refused the lady

In the case of the consumptive, disease
had nsImed the vital nature past de-

Electricity In Photorranhr.

One of the greatest difficulties that the
photographer has to contend with is the
preservation of the natural expression of
the sitter for the period of exposure.
Notwithstanding that this period has
been greatly shortened in various ways,
particularly by the adoption of the mag
nesiun light in Photographic practice,
nervousness plays such large part in
the temperament of the great majority
of those who are anxious to hand down
their presentments to posterity that the
operator has often found the interval
even too prolonged for the accomplish
ment of his perfect work.
This difficulty has been overcome by
Herr Haag in Stuttgart by means of a
change in the management of the mag
nesium light. Herr Haag has made some
lightning cartridges, which cause tire
mendous development of light and are
set alight in one-tenth of a second by
means of electricity.-New York Tele-
gram.

Did Life Begin Mt the PoIeso

AS matter of fact this earth of ours
has long passed its youth. 1t is now
verging on old age, and with its poles
covered by everlasting ice it may be
hkened to body whose extremities are
bleached and paralyzed with years Even
in the geological period which imme-
diately preceded our own, and which is
known as the postpliocene, or quater-
nary, great changes took place, and man
has been a witness to them. The rivers
of today are mere brooks compared to
what they were then, and in North
America we can trace the shore lines of
immense quaternary lakes which no
longer exist.
But while this fact may interest and
perhaps surprise us little it does not
tax our credulity so much as when we
are TOLD that once instead of snow and
ice luxuriant vegetation fourished not
far from the poles. Indeed the French
naturalist Button believed that on our
planet, which was slowly cooled and
consolidated, life began at the poles, and
that from thence it spread in the direc-
ton of the tropics, where at first the heat
was too intense to admit of any kind of
life. But it is only within recent years
that we have been able to get a glimpse
of the ancient arctic zone. which IS r1uch
more accessible than the antarctic. ard
what has t-.as far been brcCZht to light
makes Button daring conjecture ap-
pear not SO very improb8ble-C-t holic

The house, by its action yesterday
in rejecting the Bland bill and kim
dred propositions and the adoption
of the Wilson repeal bill, showed
itself in full accord and sympathy
with the president on the vital sub
ject of national finance. The senate
will so record itself when it comes
ats turn to speak. On the subject of
tariff Legislation the law-making
bodies will so again declare them
selves. The very act of the house
will restore national confidence, bus
mess will again resume its natural

ened because there are several fugi-
tive murderers at large. Probably
the most harmless man possible is a
fleeing murderer. There is nothing
SO fearful to him as the sight of a

murder in their hearts, but which
they have not yet committed; and
have no fear of men whose murders
are accomplished and who are fleeing
from justice.

If the New York toadies to royalty
lose their silly heads over Princess
fulalie, what would they do if it
were Queen Victoria or Emperor
William? Perhaps it is just as well
that no royal European sovereign is
coming to the fair. II will prevent a
good many American sovereigns from
making themselves ridiculous.
