CLIPPED AND PASTED.
AT a recent barbecue in southwest
Georgia, says the Atlantic Constitu-
tioB. seven strange and hungry looking
men were seen huddled together in a
corner Of the woods, remote from the
big crowd.

they were strangers to all and yet they
had the appearance Of farmers who had

With mad rush those hun5rylook-

were and that they had appctites.

Professor Garner's Monkey Mission.

Professor Garner, who is in Africa
inquiring and experimenting con-
cerning monkey speech, writes that
he has already gathered much valu-
able data and is making a beginning
of real work. He wrote from Libre-
vile, French Congo, and said he had
access there to fine young chin
panzee and had promise of two
young gorillas. The belief that the
monkeys talk is very general among
the natives and residents of the in
terror. He has also gathered much
quaint folk lore concerning the apes.
He was going on a trip up the Ga
boon River, and then to Chanon, a
town in the bush about three hours
journey from Libreville, on the
south side of the river. His contem-
plated route thence is overland via
Cape Lopez to the Settle Come and
Angovie, returning to Angovie River
and up that valley overland to the
Middle Congo Basin, down the north
side of the river to the coast. He
hoped to leave in January and COM
plete the journey by August or Sep
tember, 1898, and then return home
ward.

habit the retired volunteers will, no
doubt, generally be there and need
no second call to work with their
oldtime will.
There are two strong reasons for
having paid fire department. One
is that the obligation to turn out
under all circumstances resting on
volunteers is not so severely strict
as to ensure an adequate working
force without a muster roll large
enough to leave a wide. margin of
numbers. Therefore, the active
force of each company had been
placed at fifty men entitled to tax
exemption and any other existing
immunity of firemen, with as many
more not entitled to such privileges
or to vote at department elections
as any company chose to enroll. For
the purpose of having as many con
tributors as possible to the company
treasury and of having a large re-
serve from which to fill vacancies,
most of the companies have always
had an overAowing roll. Such large
companies necessarily entailed a
good deal of expense to the Govern
ment in providing suitable accom-
mediation and certain special equip
ments for the members. With the
improvements in the water-mains,
hydrants, ETC., gained within the past
eight years a much smaller force than
in previous times should be sufficient.
A half-dozen men to each engine
who are bound to be on hand in the
early critical five to fifteen minutes
are calculated to be more service
able than fifty men who have to run
from all over the city to the danger
point. The other reason to be noted
is that, as a common business propo
sition, the men who put out and re-
strain fires from spreading ought tc
be paid for that service. There i:
no justice in depending on volun
; teers to protect the property of pro
: prietors and the risks of insurance
4 corporations. While it is true tha
. property owners have been paying
/, for protection from fire, the pay
ment has been made to system ant
not to the actual workers, excepting
the skilled operators of the engines

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT..

The law to create a paid fire de-
partment has been published. Its
provisions for the main functions of
putting out fires are about the same
as those that have governed the re-
firing volunteer department. There
is no more popular selection of of
ficers, and the Board of Representa-
tives is thing of the past. The
immediate control is in the hands of
Board of Fire Commissioners.
Some action will now have to be
taken by the members of the old de-
partment for proper disposition of
the funds held in it's own right.
Two or three thousand dollars is in
the sick fund of the Board of Repre-
sentatives of the money being
invested on real estate security.
The fund has accumulated from
dues, fines, benefits from exhibitions,
etc. Some of the individual COM
panies, also, have respectable bal
ances in their treasures for which
they owe the Government nothing
Our suggestion is that the companies
throw their funds into the depart
ment's sick fund, and that this fund
be placed in the keeping of three
responsible trustees for investment,
for the benefit of sick or INDECENT
men who have done active service as
volunteer fremen. For the fair
carrying out of this purpose list of
members in good standing should
be placed in the hands of the trus-
tees. Perhaps it would only be
equitable to have scale of benefits
prepared, in proportion to the
amounts turned in by the respective
companies.
Regarding the policy of having
the volunteer superseded by paid
system at this juncture we have
little to say. AS one of a committee
from the old Board in conference
with the Judiciary Committee OF
the late Legislature, over certain
amendments to the old law, the
writer advocated the adoption of a
paid department as soon as could
be done. The unanimous opinion
of that conference was that the time
had not yet arrived for the change
This opinion, we believe, was based
on Investigations made by the cele
brated Ways and Means Committee
1t appears that a committee of the
Provisional Government arrived al
different conclusion: hence the
passage of the Act in question
There is one wise provision in the
new law, giving authority to the
Chief Engineer to summon the as
sistance OF bystanders when neces
sary at a fire, A fire will always
bring bystanders, and from force oI

The following choice bit of word painting
occurs III Hawthorne's Marble Faun:
women be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwork ready to fill
the tiny gap of every vacant moment. A
needle is familiar to the fingers of them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adroitly as her
pen; the woman's eye, that has discovered
Il new star, turns from its glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn casual
fray in her dress. And they have greatly
the advantage of us in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small, familiar, gentle in
terests of life the continually operating in
fluences Of which do so much for the health
OF the character, and carry Off what would
otherwise be a dangerous accumulation Of
morbid sensibility. A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line,
stretching from the throne to the wicker
chair of the hunIblest seamstress, and
keeping high and low in species of COM
munon with their kindred beings"
Housewives, while you ply the needle,
have you ever reflected on the vicisstudes
of life? See to it that your husbands pro-
vide for the future welfare of their families
by at once applying for Policy in the

Music.

Was it light that sparks from the dark
ness, or music that shone from the
word,
When the night was kindled with the
sound OF the sun or the tirst-born
bird2
Souls enthrelled and entrammeled in bond
age of seasons that fall and rise,
Bound fast round with the letters of flesh
and blinded with light that dies.
Lived not surely till music speaks and the
spirit of life was heard.
Music, sister of sunrise and herald of life
to be,
Smiled as dawn on the spirit of man, and
the thrall was free.
Slave of nature and serf of time, the bond
man of life and death.
Dumb with passionless patience that
breathed but forlorn and reluctant
breath.
Heard, beheld, and his soul made answer
and communed aloud with the sea.
Morning spake, and he heard; and the
passionate silent moon
Kept for him not silence; and soft from
. the mounting moon
Fell the sound of her splendor, heard as
dawn's in the breathless night,
Not of men, but of birds whose note bsdt
mans soul quicken and leap to light
And the song of it spake, and the light anc
the darkness of earth were as chords
in tune. A. Q. SwINBURNE.
