Mr.. Booker T Washington who is
parading himself through the country
advising the educated Afro American
to retire from politics and not to aspire
for Office, but take the plow, ought to
go and dig his grave, fall into it and
pull it in after him. If there ever was
a Negro who likes to show his inferior

natural that he would not aspire to

The Sabbath day. Oh WnaG
blessed, sacred and hallowed day.
Did you ever think of the import
ance of such a day 10 the Well
being of mankind? The proper
observance of the Sabbath day is
very beneficial to us intellectuall'
morally and physically. The mech
aEism of man is so constructed
that it needs rest. The various vo-
cations of life demand more exer-
else of cerr ain parts of our bodies
than others, consequently unless
we have certnin amount OF rest
from our daily toll that portion
| the machine will soon wear out.
Each piece of the machine is de,
pendent. If one piece is broken,
It will cause he machine to move
slower or to stop if one piece oil
the machine is allowed IT, rust from
want of use or oil, 1t will prevent
it from d, ing its work smoothly.
The laborer, who tolls six oayi
every eek, should thank God that
he has one day To spend with hi'
family that he has one day to ad
wise his children, to teach then
! the truth, and that he has day t.
study himself and think Of immor
tai things. Oh how lofty our i'm
agination can soar. Indeed, th'
Master Mech mic knows what th'
machine needs. The lawyer, wh'
tells falsehoods all the week, need
the Sabbath day. If he did no
have day to think of pure thing
Of life, his moral nature would b
!, 80 dwarfed that he would not b
able to tell the truth hat he woul
not be able to discriminate th
right from the wrong, and that h
would not able to detect justic

Yerkes eclipsed it, and while we have
been talking about the Yerkes news
comes from Germany that increased
skill in casting great masses of glass
has enabled the managers of the In
dustrial exhibition recently opened in
Berlin to announce as one of their at
fractions a still larger celestial spy
glass.
But, after all, this is hardly real pro-
gress in astronomy. A bigger telescope
is not necessarily a better telescope. 1t
gathers more light with its large OBJ
tect glass, but increased light does not
always mean greater clearness of out
line. Hence the real advance in teles-
copy must come rather from improve
ment in the interior arrangement and
detail of the big optical instruments
than from mere increase in dimensions.
More than this-the very increase in
size must be accompanied by increased
delicacy in all these interior arrange
ments, or else IL is an injury to obser-
walton, not an aid.
This is why the whole astronomical
world has felt a thrill of interest at the
announcement that an American-Prof
Charles S. Hastings of the Yale scien-
tific school-has invented an important
Improvement in lenses which will add
fully 10 per cent to the efficacy of any
telescope that is equipped with the new
glasses. Ten per cent seems not a great
deal at first thought; but when we re-
