Bishop Walden, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, recently delivered a
lecture on "Africa." He sees brlgh-
ter future in store for the colored race.
He believes that God has a special
plan arranged for them to take an i'm
poriant part in evaugelizing the world
aud that Africa il the only part of the
globe open to them aud inviting their
iabors.
Said he: / do not mean colonization
| have no thoughts as to that, but the
colored people will in the next decade
be seized with burning desire to en-
ter the African fields and do something
for Gods word. The colored people
are the most religious people on the
globe, and they will become one ofthe
strongest races of people of the
world.

MILK FOR FOWLS,

We have often referred to the great
value of milk as food for fowls. Even
where there is not a large quantity of
sweet skim milk returned from the
creamery, on most farms even where
only two or three cows are MIXED there
is generally a surplus of milk which is
given to the pigs. This is all well enough
II there Is no poultry or if the chicks
first get their share; but to give it all to
the pigs and none to the poultry is not
profitable, for poultry meat and eggs are
more valuable than pork. Poultry of
all kinds are very found of milk in any
form; and il given judiciously it is good
for them and takes the place of water
nicely, keeping the fowls in good condi-
ton, imparting gloss to the plumage,
and increasing the productions of eggs.
( Milk is best given when thick or curdled,
although the chicks will not be likely to
refuse it in any form. Ii sweet, however,
1t should always be scalded before giving
1t to the fowls, as it is then, when sweet,
liable to give them diarrhna unless it is
so treated, and thus it would become
more OF an injury than benefit. With
this precaution, however, it will be
found to be invaluable for the breeding
and laying birds, while fattening fowls
not only relish it, but thrive wonder
fully on it when given in connection
with strong grain food in the most de-
sirable form. For growing chicks it is
one of the most healthy things that can
be given in connection with their regular
food, and seems to supply just the ma
terial they require to make rapid and
healthy growth. Those who have not
tried it should give it trial this season,
and we think they will be so well pleased
with the results as to continue it as long
as the supply holds out. In the absence
OF milk, pure water given every day is
an absolute necessity and it certainly
is cheap luxury, and one within the
reach of all.

The Color of Man,

The color of the skin in the various
races of man has never yet been scien-
titically accounted for, although numer-
Gus NEUROLOGICAL stories have been told
and senseleSs theories advanced as rea-
sons for the remarkable variations in
hue. Nor have we any certain data
concerning the color of the cuticle of
the primeval man. the original lord
of creation, - a pretty African legend
is that he was as black as the proven
bal ace of spades and that the present
pale color Of the Caucasian race is the
result of tie scare God gave Adam at
the time of the fall.
1t is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present black
race are descendants of one OF Adams
sons that was born and left Eden before
the great change IN color overlook our
first parents. The Chinese believe that
the original man was creature half
god and half man, and that his color
came about as a result of bathing in q
river Of liquid gold. The Mussulmans,
the American indians and several ORR
entail tribes and nations account for
their prevailing red or copper color by
telling the story of the great being Gre

THE MECCA OF LEISURE.
Place For Wealthy People Who Desire
Comfortable Incidence.

Washington is rapidly becoming a
favorite place Of residence for people
who have made fortunes elsewhere, and
who are devoting the remainder OF their
! lives to having a good time in a quiet
way. There is a large colony OF such
families, and they contribute enormous
" to the general stock of elegant and
comfortable incidence for which the
city IS noted. Then there are the re-
tired army and navy officers. Their
name is legion, and Washington Is their
favorite place to live. You see them IN
great numbers in the clubs, on the
thoroughfares, in society. Nor must
the widows be overlooked. There are
more widows in Washington than in
any other city III this country, size for
size. The widows of public men, OF
army and navy officers, of private cltl-
zens in all ranks Of life, gravitate to
the Capital City as the pleasantest place
they know of to pass the autumn of life.
The diplomatic corps comprises sever
al hundred more or less idle and fashion
able men and women. Literary and
scientific men, especially those enjoying
incomes and independence from inherit
ed or other sources, are numerous in
Washington. Always the city contains
thousands of visitors attracted by the
peculiar interest which attaches to the
seat of government.
Is itcany wonder that we have here an
ease loving and an ease enjoying popu-
latidn? Are you surprised that Wash
ington laziness has become proverbial
throughout the country? Do you mar
vel that our streets and avenues are rial
toes in which comfortableness fashion,
superhciality, even insincerity, are con-
stantly displayed?
The street life Of Washington is al
ways interesting. The good dressing
gives an air of elegance to the thorough
fares, which, with their famous shade
trees and pavements smooth and clean as
a floor, are themselves elegant The
number Of noted men and beautiful
women to be seen in any given walk or
drive adds to the charm of the scene.
The bicycles, numbered literally by thou
sands, add the spice of rapidity and
whirl to Il picture that might otherwise
lack somewhat of action.-W Washington

Inc pegglnS or marking of drinking

check the Incorporate habits of the
times by preventing one man from tax

But the device proved the means of in

remedy, for, refining upon st. Dunstan's
plan, the most abstemious were required

whether they could soberly take such
quantity of liquor or not. To the use
OF such cups may be traced the origin
OF many OF our popular phrases. When

WATER LOCATION SENSE.
The Strange Faculty Possessed by Some
REPTILES Even When Decapitated

The Strange Faculty Possessed by Soma
Reptiles Even when Decapitated.
REPTILES and batrachlans usually nos
sess what may be termed the water To-
, cation sense.
Nv attention was first called to this
by my brother who, while engaged in
natural history expedition in south
eastern Texas, had what at the time we
both considered unique experience
with large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised some
distance from the water, among the
sand dunes that line the gulf shore, and
On being overtaken had its head chop-
ped off preparatory to serving as very
tOothsome addition to our diet Much
to the surprise Of the party the behead-
ed animal continued on its way toward
the water.
Several times it was turned around,
entirely or part way, but every time it
was ablo to right its position perfectly
and again make directly for the water,
At the time this was narrated to me
was of the opinion that there must
have been something i'll the contour of
the land that enabled the tortoise to
regain the correct direction in each
case.
Since then | have had numerous
proofs that this ability belongs to a
number of species OF these animals in
the West Indies, and that the loss of
eyes and nasal organs, of the entire
head and neck, in fact, apparently
works no inconvenience to them in this
particular. This is a family character
istic which, SO far as | have been able
to find, is not alluded to in any work
concerning them.
The same singular ability may he OBJ
served in certain species of water fire.

MYSTERIOUS ELECTRICITY.

The Human Mind May Never Solve the
Problem of What 1t Is.
To the metaphysical mind on the one
hand an3t6 the confident ignoramus on
the other the mysterious nature of cleo
tricity offers fruitful subject of specu-
lation. To the latter especially it seems
a reproach that the true nature of cleo
tricity has not long before been made
manifest, and he is always prepared to
dash off an explanation with much more
confidence than Newton proposed his
theory of gravitation. 1t seems inexpli-
cable to the public at large that the mvs-
terry surrounding electricity is not dis
PEELED. 1t does not seem to occur to
those who are impatient to have the
great question, "What is electricity"
answered that we are in just as dense
ignorance as to the mechanism of other
phenomena. Gravitation, light, heat
and chemical action are in the same
category of scientific mysteries and have
had centuries more of thought bestowed
on them than has been devoted to the
new agent. While it now seems that
we may be on the threshold of one of
the greatest discoveries of the human
mind, yet it is possible, and even proba-
BILE, that the knowledge of man may
never be permitted to extend to the en-
tire solution of the problem, for it is the
very problem of the universe itself.
Assuming what seems to be unques-
toned, that electricity, electrical action
or whatever we may call it, has its seat
in the atoms or molecules of matter or
of the hypothetical matter, ether, we
are brought face to face with the same
conditions that confront the cosmical
philosopher. AS the latter can never
hope to have his material vision extend
to the bounds of the universe, neither
can the molecular physicist hope to ma
terially appreciate the ultimate elements
of matter. Lord Kelvin has shown that
If a drop of water were magnifed to the
size of the earth one of its constituent
molecules would only be magnified to
approximately the size of cricket
ball. Bearing this in mind, the i'm
mensity of the problem which is so often
fiippantly referred to is evident. True,
we may demonstrate the exact relation
between electricity and magnetism and
may satisfactorily connect these with
other phenomena and even obtain a
working hypothesis that will answer all
scientific needs, but the ultimate solu-
ton may forever evade the human mind.
Whatever we do learn, however, will
not be through the speculations of meta
physicians or the guesses of tyros, but
through the physical Investigations of
Hertzes and Teslas. While as mental
training metaphysical speculation may
have its use, the absolute lack of addi-
lions to our real knowledge during the
many centuries from Plato to Bacon,
when metaphysics held full sway, is con-
elusive that nothing can be expected
from this direction, and merely specula-
tive theories in regard to the nature of
electricity deserve as little considera
ton as is now given to the metaphysical
vagaries of the schoolmen of the middle
ages.-Electrical World.
