GERMANY IN AFRICI.

Dr. Kayser, the retiring German Colonial secretary, was able to make a good showing for himself in his fare well speech which he delivered before the Colonial Council He said that he had been worn out in the struggle against obstacles and selfish opponents, and was especially emphatic in his re- marks about Dr. Peters and his sup porters. When he took office in 1890, the treaty with England had occa- stoned widespread depression through out colonial circles in Germany. The German East African company, though but recently reconstructed, was on the point of liquidating it's affairs. The means of the Southwest African com pany were almost exhausted, while the settlements in Togo and in the Came

One essayist argued that these government offices should be established because during the war with France in 1884 the com manders of the French fleet were ac- customed to receive letters of great im- portance to them through the foreign offices in China and the Chinese were unable to intercept them, as they might have done had they then had an impe- rial government postoffice.
 Another writer thought branch Chi nese postoffices should be established at San Francisco, New York, London, Sim gapore Australia, etc, where many Chinese live, just as those countries have their branch offices in every open port in China. Another proposed rates varying with distance and with the value of letters. He also recommended the use of an imperial stamp which should have the symbol of a circling dragon, corresponding with that of the coins now issued in the Kwangtung province, and the words Chung Kwo Yin Cheng Chu"--i e., Imperial Chinese Postoffice-and the value of each stamp expressed in Chinese and Manchu char acters Some of these proposals are unavoidable, but all betray very sem sible appreciation of the advantages of thorough and comprehensive postal system.

TyYO SCAEES DyspOsED OF

Not very long ago this country was agitated by lively and ominous talk about war with England over the Venezuelan question. The scare was a large one, so large that it caused many great and good men to say some i'm pressive or ridiculous things. The scare was soon over, and it is pleasant to learn, as we do from Lord Salisbury. that the matter has been satisfactorily fixed up, and to feel that we can love our English brethren again as much as they love us. In Lord Salisbury $ speech at the lord mayors banquet last night he called the great scare rather unimportant," and gave this country full credit for it's share in making it rather unimportant"
 With the rather unimportant" Ven- ezuelan scare thoroughly out of the way and the very important Bryan scare ditto there is no reason why the people of the United States should not enjoy their Thanksgiving, happy in the thought that they can respect them selves and are respected and beloved by their English brethren,

rooms could barely maintain an exist enoe. The sum due by treaty to the Sultan of Zanzibar as indemnity for the evacuation of the East African much less the capital requisite for the development of the newly acquired ter ritory. The majority of the Imperial Diet, too, was hostile to the colonial policy. Nevertheless, all difficulties, he said, had been overcome. At the be- ginning of his administration the rev. enue of the Cameroons was only 278, 900 marks; now it is 640,000 marks Simi- larly in Togo the returns had risen from 93,500 marks in 1S90-9l to 380, 900 marks in the present financial year. Tn German Southwest Africa the increase had been still more striking--namely, from 1900 marks in 1S9O-91 to the pres- ent total of 3S6,000 marks The net rev. enue of German East Africa had re- mained almost stationary, although the loss occasioned by the fall in the value of the rupee denotes gross increase of nearly 25 per cent Six years ago only four German stations were to be found in East Africa; now there are nineteen. Within the same period the number of stations in the Cameroons had been in- creased from two to ten, in Togo from two to five, and in German Southwest Africa from one to twenty-six. The white population has grown in similar proportions In 1890 there were but 105 white men in the Cameroons, now there are 2S0; in Togo the increase has been from 35 to 96; in German Southwest Africa from 450 to 2025.

BEYOND THE SEA.

Among the illusions which are hard to give up none is more strongly cherished
 than that which imputes to forgeign travel and European residence and study peculiar virtues which alone impart the very quintessence of refine ment and culture. To receive this stamp of perfection sacrifices are sometimes made, the hardest but not most uncom- mon being the breaking up of homes when wives leave their husbands and take the children abroad. There they settle down in one of the great capitals or in some humber but educationally attractive town; new languages are learned and old habits forgotten, while the young people grow up amid alien customs and influences; but let us hope that not many are so forlorn as Miss Woolson's "Transplanted Boy" who,

 Hawthorne has well said that "the years, after all, have a kind of empti- ness when we spend too many of them on a foreign shore; and he elaborates the thought, showing that prolonged residence away from the native air tends to destroy the reality of exist ence, and that eventually, "between two countries, we have none at all" This was found to be literally true by at least one returned wanderer, who thus expressed her feelings of the dis advantages of such exile; Mama took us to Switzerland when I was only twelve years old, and I made many friends among my schoolmates there, but had to leave them when I was eighteen, came back to find my child ish companions grown and caring noth- ing for me, so that am a stranger at home, and looked on as 0 bird ofpas sage abroad" This young girl spoke fluently three foreign tongues, but there was lacking that familiar Ian guage of every day life which glances from theme to theme, sure of mutual understanding, and which touches lightly on topics of common interest. There was a time when the conditions of this country were such that only for eign study could give that completeness for which bright minds sighed, but the last few decades have changed all that. Our dear native land has grown in every direction, and notably in that of educational advantages. Facilities for the requirement of foreign languages abound, and we can learn as many as time and brain-power permit. and find within our borders countless oppor- tunities to practise the accomplish ments with our adopted fellow citizens. Still, the belief in the wondrous virtues of foreign travel continues in full force. Perhaps 1t is the longing for the mother country which stirs the blood of the de-
 scendants of Pilgrim and Cavalier, and makes the heart thrill with the thought of that new world which is the old" and which we of the really new must ever long to behold, -Har- per's Bazar.

There were cases in which even the captain had to do things of this kind, and that, too, in> narrow waters tra- versed by many vessels, Sometimes an Austrian, Italian, or Greek sailor had sole charge of the deck. One witness, Captain Crutchley, declared boldly that the whole evil of under-manning was attributable directly to unlimited in- surance," the suggestion being that a certain class of owners regard the prob- able loss of ships as a source of profit.

It isn't often that an election in this country makes so many people happy as the one last week did. It made everybody in this country happy except few who really can't see straight or think straight even under the most favorable circumstances. It caused the British lion to wag it's tail for joy. It pleased Germany and France. And now Mexico has been joyfully heard from Says the Mexican Herald: For Mexico the declaration of the American people in favor of the gold standard means continued prosperity here. It signifies large dividends for our mills and banks, thus carrying into effect many large and important undertak- ings, for which capital would not have been obtained in the United States had Bryan been elected. The result is for the general good of Mexico.
 As there can be no reasonable objec- tion to helping Mexico if we can do it without hurting ourselves it Is pleasant to think that Mexico feels that she is going to be helped by us By and by perhaps it will appear that the election was also good thing for the Hawaiian islands.

4 GREAT CAUSE SET BACK.

The main issue of the campaign which ended so gloriously last Tues day was so important and conspicuous that little attention has been paid to it's minor issues. But it is interesting to note that in the voting in California a great cause received a great set amendment to the constitution was be- fore the people The amendment pass ed the legislature in 1895 by vote of 46 to % The national association of the woman suffragists took charge of the campaign from that time, fully realiz- ing the magnitude of the victory they would win in carrying State like Cal ifornia, and feeling considerable assur- ance of success. They began public proceedings with a womans congress at San Francisco last summer. Then an Amendment association" was formed, the State association elected an active and efficient president, the State was mapped out and a cam paign was planned in detail. Every part of the State was covered. An enormous petition was presented to the Republican State convention, meetings were held in twenty or thirty of the principal towns of California, and scores of speeches were made all over the State by Susan B. Anthony, the Rev. Anna Shaw, Elizabeth N. Yates, Harriet May Mills, Mary Garrett Hay and other speakers of more or less rrominence Many well known men helped on the movement, and some of the largest newspapers gave it unqual- flied support. Up to the last moment the workers felt hopeful of success, but at the last moment the amendment was rejected by vote of about B, 900 to 13,00O.
 And what do you suppose is the rea- son given for this overwhelming action of the men of California? Why, it is that they became Frightened by the en- ergy of the women and turned against them

FASHION NOTES.
Narrow Skirts Impend.

Skirts are being trimmed, and it is likely that the narrow dragging skirt is on it's way here Meanwhile some of the very prettiest walking gowns im- ported are very full and swirly at the hem, and entirely escape the ground, being short enough, because of the full ness, to show a flash of the bright silk lining as the wearer walks. Some skirts are very heavy, but they are pretty, and give from their spring, and swing the effect of being carried easily, The trimmed skirt should be regarded as a possible economy, rather' than as a fashion settled enough to be adopted for new goods" One or two select imported models show silk skirt, with second skirt over. of wool. The sec ond skirt is narrow, is split to the knees in one or two places and 1t is also about two inches shorter than a silk skirt. At the hips the second skirt is slightly lifted into a few curved folds, the first distinct recognition of the panier.

the panieI

It takes but very little trimming on a skirt to make it conform to & quiet tastes interpretation of the new rule, and an ornamental trifie at the hem is often sufficient That was all that was used in the woman's skirt pictured here the trimming consisting of nar- row brown satin ruching, the dress goods being light brown woolen suit ing. The fitted bodice was of tailor finish with it's right side tapping over diagonally. Over it was an entirely novel jacket that combined serpentine sleeves with the comfortable box shape. As seen in the picture, one front only turned back, each side had pockets and the edges were machine stitched. The garment was double breasted and had a high sealskin collar.
 The little lady's skirt was untrim- med. The stripes of it's woollen suiting ran round and round, the skirt was simply gathered to a narrow band and the blouse waist was again gathered to the skirt as the dress hooked invisibly in back. The front had morrow plas- tron with two velvet straps and the large sailor collar was made of the same velvet which also gave belt and cuffs. It was the color of the darkest stripe in the goods-dark green.

How to keep the British sailor up to the standard that has been set for British sailors is disturbing some of the British. In @ recent speech before the British Shipmasters society, Sir Charles Dill<e quoted largely from the report of Sir Edward Reeds parliament tary committee on the various evils af- fiicting the English mercantile marine, especially the employment of foreign seamen and officers and under-man- ming. He said that he believed that the government would have to go far be- yond the recommendations of that com mittee and make equitable terms with the shipmasters to secure the proper education both of officers and seamen. A large proportion of the witnesses be- fore the committee testified that both officers and men on board considerable steamers often were taken from their proper work and set to do the work of laborers. Steamers had been met at sea without an officer on the bridge and with no one on deck but the steers man. In some cases officers had to paint, to scrub decks, to trim and re- fight lamps. or to work in the hold.
