Military Maneuvers of the Criminals In
South Africa.
Man is not the only animal who car
ries on his warfare by means of organ
lied bands, and calls in the forces of
nature to assist him. The German nat
! uralist and traveller, Brehm, witnessed
in Central Africa fights hat were con-
Quoted in as orderly a manner as if the
warriors had been really men, instead of
only somewhat like them in form.
The actors in the play were balloons,
and their enemies We're in one case the
travellers dogs, though the balloons were
ready to fight with any creature that
attacked them, man only excepted; and
he owed his exemption solely to the fact
that the balloons could not often gain
n point of vantage.
The naturalist himself was once
stoned out of n pass in a very few min
utes by these creatures, who sprang
upon lodges and stones, looked down
for n few moments on the valley,
growing, %snarling, and then began to
roll down stones with so much vigor
and adroitness that the intruders took
to fight. The balloons evidently knew
the value of cooperation, for the nat
uraiist saw two of them combine their
efforts in order to set a particularly
heavy stone rolling. One monkey, bent
on making the most-of his missile, was
seen to carry a stone up a tree, that he
might hurl it with greater effect.
On the occasion when the dogs at
tackled the balloons, the balloons were
crossing a valley, and as usual dur
ing a march, the females and young were
in the center, the males heading the
column and bringing up the rear. As
the dogs rushed upon them, only the
females took to flight.
The males turned ant faced the en-
envy, growing, beating the ground with
their hands, and opening their mouths
wide, so as to show their glittering
teeth. They looked SO fierce and ma
licious chat the dogs-Arab greyhounds,
accustomed to fight successfully with
hyGnas and other beasts of prey-shrank
back. By the time they were encour-
aged to renew the attack, the whole
herd had made their way, covered by
the rearguard, to the rocks, one six
months-old monkey alone excepted.
This little monkey sat on a rock, sur
rounded by the dogs, but he was not
long left in his perilous position. An
old baboon stepped from a cliff near
by, advancing toward the dog. keep
ing them in check by threatening ges-
lures and sounds, picked up the baby
monkey and carried it to n place of safe
ty on the cliff. while the whole crowd
of balloons watched the act of heroism
and shouted their battle-cry.-Youth's
Communion.

My subject also impresses me with
the regal influence of woman When
/ see Eve with this powerful influence
over Adam and over the generations
hat have followed, it suggests to me
the great power all women have
for good or for evil. | have no
sympathy, nor have you, with
the hollow batteries showered up
on woman from the platform and
the stage. They mean nothing; they
are accepted as nothing. Woman's
nobility consists in h exercise of a
Christian influence; and when see this
powerful influence of Eve upon her
husband and upon the whole human
race I make up my mind hat the frail
arm of woman can strike a blow which
will resound through all eternity down
among the dungeons or up among the
thrones.
OF course, 1 am not speaking of rep
resentative women-of Eve, who
ruined the race by one fruit-picking;
of Joel. who drove a spike through the
head of Sisera the warrior; of Esther,
who overcame royalty; of Abigail, who
stopped a host by her own beautiful
prowess; of Mary, who nursed the
worlds Saviour; of Grandmother Lois,
immortalized in her grandson Tim
othy; of Charlotte .Corday, who drove
the dagger through the heart of the
assassin of her lover, or of Marie An
toinette, who by one look from the
balcony of her castle quieted a mob,
her own scaffold the throne of forgive
ness and womanly courage. l speak
not of these extraordinary persons, but
of those who, unambitious for political
power, as wives and mothers and sis
tiers and daughters, attend to the thou
sand sweet offices of home.
When 1t last we come to calculate
the forces hat decided the destiny of
nations it will be found that the
mightiest and grandest influence came
from home, where the wife cheered up
dependency and fatigue and sorrow
by her own sympathy, and h mother
trained her child for Heaven, starting
the little feet on the path to the celes-
tial city; and the sisters by their gem
tleness refined the manners of the
brother; and the daughters were dill
gent in their kindness to the aged,
throwing wreaths of blessing on the
road that leads father and mother down
the steep of years. God bless our honest
may the home on earth be the ves-
tibule of our home in Heaven, in
which place may we all meet-father,
mother, son, daughter, brother, sister,
grandfather and grandmother and
grandchild, and the entire group of
precious ones, of whom we must say in
the words of transporting Charles
Wesley:
One family we dwell in Rim,
One church above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream
The narrow stream of death;
One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the food.
And part are crossing now

Drinking Contnmipnted watc,

Water that is left standing in the
kitchen or bedroom, and, above all, in
the sick room, over night is liable to
contamination by the absorption of i'm
purities afloat in the air in such rooms
and to be rendered wholly unfit for
use. No matter that the water is cold,
even to near freezing; it is so much
more liable to absorb ond hold in solu-
zion the foul gases and organic particles
to which it has been exposed. 1t is dam
gerous to use such water. Water should
not be SO left, but if it should chance to
he it should be thrown away. Freshly
drawn water only should always be
used for culinary purposes as well as for
drinking whenever practicable. More
over, the faucets over sinks and wash
basins are always more or less liable
to contamination, hence the first water
that flows on opening them after they
have been left all night without use
should always be let flow AWAIT is

BROOKLYN BEATS UNIVERSITY

Chapel Hill, n. c., April 5.-(Special) J
The Brooklyn, National League base
ball team defeated the University of
North Carolina in a game of superb ball
playing to-day by Il score of 20 to 3.
The game had many beautiful features.
Among them Il beautiful catch and
throw home in the first inning by Whita-
ker; snappy double play in the sixth by
Mangum, Stanley, and Winston, and
Rogers home run, bringing in Mckee in
the ninth inning for the home team, and
the hard hitting of the Brooklyns. Man
gum seemed to be the puzzler to the
Brooklyns, striking out three men, among
them Lachance, who holds the third
battery average in the National League.
The Brooklyns leave tomorrow morn
ing for Durham, where they play two
games with Trinity College.
1t is certainly a credit to Brooklyn
composed as it is of a gentlemanly crowd
of clever ball players. The score by in
nings was as follows:
