We Don't Want Them.

Lady Henry Somerset is a woman
who means well and who does a great
deal OF good, but she lets her philan-
thropy carry her too far when she adj
vocates a subscription in England TO

mans to the United States. The sum

erset's eoadjutor, Miss Frances Will

wanted here. We have too many

THouoHrFuL OBSERVATIONS

There is hope for the mar who does
Mt have to fall down more than once
10 learn how to stand UP.
Hard speech between those who have
loved is hideous in the memory, like
the sight of the greatness and beauty
sunk into vice and rags.
Never hold any one by the button or
the hand in order to be heard out; for
II people are unwilling to hear you, you
had better bold your tongue than them.
The difference between an enthusiast
and a crank is the difference between
great earnestness in sensible work and
great senselessness in advocating
much-needed reforms.
Close familiarity with a few great
books will do more than anything else
to enrich and discipline your mind. III
we walk day after day with some illus
trious writer We viii naturally fall into
his pace.
Real merit of any kind cannot be
concealed; it win be discovered. n
nothing can ~depreciate 1t but a mans
showing it himself. 1t may not always
be rewarded as 1t ought; but 1t will
always be known.
A man that only translates shall
never be a poet; nor a painter that only
copies; nor a swimmer that swims al
ways with bladders; so people that
trust wholly 70 others charity n
without industry of their own, will al
ways be poor.
To know how TO learn, SO that wnen
need arises knowledge may be quickly
obtained. Is a better provision for the
business OF life than Is afforded by the
largest or richest store Of information
packed away In the memory--pernaps

each candidate they voted for. Still
they voted with surprising rapidity.
sometimes the votes were at the aver
age rate Of two a minute. But sixty and
seventy votes an hour was the average.

In the French senate a day or two
ago during a discussion of the NADIA
gascar question, the minister of the col
onies. NJ. LeBon, said that the govern
ment hoped that the island before long
would be organized as a province and
with some kind OF autonomy. He add
ed that instructions had been given to
Gen. Gallieni, prescribing vigorous ac-
ton for the suppression Of the Hova
Hegemony; but he had been recon-
mended to avoid wholesale dragooning,
while at the same time he was author
lied to act and to threaten as he
thought fit, persons who are open TO
suspicion. The minister for the colon
les further stated that a bill providing
for a loan to convert the Madagascar
debt would shortly be presented. In
spite of the distress he explained the
deficit for the year would mo- exceed
$500. 900 francs, which would be COW
cred by the conversion. Continuing.
the minister for the colonies stated
that the French resident general in
Madagascar, NJ. La Roche, had not
granted any concessions for public
works to foreigners and he. M. LeBon,
did not favor concessions either to for
eigners or to the representatives OF a
foreign company. N. LeBon stated that
To deprecated pessimistie views regard
ing the future OF Madagascar, as he was
perfectly convinced that the rebellion
would soon be suppressed and that
Madagascar would become n OF the
most promising and prosperous Of the
