England and France.

The British political campaign, which
for weeks has been too dali to arouse
the slightest popular interest, has at
length suspended until midwinter. The
queens speech at the propagation is
much niore significant than usual 1t
contains an important intimation re-
garding the strained relations with the
French republic, which caused the great
est alarm in the foreign Office few
days previous
French aggression in west Africa had
recently become so threatening that
England was almost forced to the con-
clusion that it was intended to be an
open affront The news has at length
come that the French troops occupied
Kumassi, the capital of Ashanti, last
month, and it is believed that the Eng

of a still holder invasion of British ter

to thank the Marquis of Butte for both

AN AID TO MILKING.
The Co1Iegian's Advice to HIS Father Which
Resulted Disastr0dsly.

The ColIegian's Advice to HIS Father Which
Resulted DisastrOdsly.
A college student in one of our west
ern states returned home after his course
was finished to find that his father,
clergyman with a small salary, was
eking out his living by running small
farm. One Of the adjuncts of the farm
was COW, pretty good animal, which
however, had a strong aversion to being
MIXED
Here was an opportunity for display
of the lately acquired knowledge of the
Juvenile collegian.
Father, said he, Professor q. says
if one will place weight upon a cows
back it will make her give down the
milk.
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor g.,
decided to try the simple remedy. In
stead, however, of placing a weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it. But then he
answered the purpose. The COW, how
sver, was still obstinate.
''Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father to his son.
The son did so. But the COW, unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings, manifested her displeasures by
rearing and plunging, entirely unmind-
full of the dignity of the parsonage
astride her spinal column. It was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two bipeds concerned in tue transact
ton.
"Cut the rope, cut the ropel" shout
ed Mr.. V. to his dutiful son, meaning
rho rope by which he was attached to
che COW.
But the son, being somewhat excited,
cut the rope by which the COW was fas.
tened to the stanchion. At once avail
ing herself of the liberty thus offered,
the COW took an unceremonious exit
from the stable, and down through the
street she went. The minister accom-
panied the COW, but in manner not ex.
actly befitting the dignity of his profes,
sion.
AS it happened, one of the sisters Of
the congregation was on the street as
the race was in progress Surprised al
such sight, the good sister cried out,
"Why, Brother ", where are you go
ing?"
His sense of the ludlcrous coming tt
his aid, Brother " shouted back: THE
Lord and the COW only know don'tp
The clergyman was eventually rescued
from his awkward perch and never at
tempted the feat again. Voice.

SAG, ard Gould Are Out.

Russell Sage and George Gould ara
taid to have disagreed of late, and theiE
relations in a business way are so severe
~ strained that there may be an open
rupture ut any moment. The Gould
and Sage interests have always been
closely united. George Gould's wife
and his sister Helen, seconded by the
family physician, have, so runs the
story, induced him to give up working
as hard as he has been doing and to
take life easier. The purchase of the
Vigilant was in furtherance of this
plan. Sage, whose whole being is wrap

pathy with this programme and is much
displeased at young Gould's long abb

The latest acquisition of African Ter.
ritory rives Great Britain an unbroken
line across the length of Africa from
the Mediterranean and the Nile to the
extreme point of the continent. In all,
this territory, held in various ways,
from Cape Colony up to the ''occupa.
ton" of Egypt, is in extent abont 1, 400, {.
900 square miles and has population
of 80, 900, 900. In the Nile valley it in.
oludes incomparably the best Of north
Africa. In Uganda it holds the key to
the lakes of central Africa, nearly as
large as our own lake system. The new
treaty gives it the high land west Of
Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher
and healthier than the eastern, in Ger
man hands.
The new conquests of the British
South Africa company add the great ia
blelanGs Of the interior of subtropical
Africa, in much of which white men
live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the
only vital European settlement in all
Africa. As it stands this great high,
way holds two-thirds of all of Africa in
which Europeans can live and carry ON
efficient administration. 1t has the
most fertile tract in the continent in
Egypt, its healthiest in Cape Town, its
greatest gold mines and the only region
from which tropical Africa can be con-
trolled.
Still more important is its relation to
African water courses. A steamer can
start at Alexandria and run, when the
mahdi's successor is cleared away, to 3
point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 12E
miles from Lake Tanganyika. This runs
20 within 70 miles of Lake Nyassa. From
this lake the Shire river, broken at
Murchison falls, descends to the Fam
best and the Indian ocean. From nav.
igable point on the Congo is less than
100 miles to Lake Tanganyika. The
Aruwini runs as near the Nile It is
possible to start at the mouth Of the Fam
bezi and reach the mouth of the Kongu
OR Nile with less thar 200 miles of land
travel, and the key and center to this
great system is now in English hands
