MOOSE IN NEW BRUNSWICK.
There Is No Danger of Their Dimlnu-
ton There.

There Is No Danger of Their DimInu-
ton There.
The future Of the moose, oldest and
noblest of the game animals on this
continent, is matter that has inter-
ested good many people, says Scrib-
ner's. Mr.. Braithwaite, who has lived
among these animals all his life, says
there is no danger of their diminution
in New Brunswick. They shed their
antlers before the snow becomes deep
in winter, and the sportsman who en-
beavers to carry away hornless moose
is always roughly dealt with by the
magistrates down in the settlements.
The only relentless enemy of the moose
Is the lumberman, who in the depth of
winter can make good use of the meat.
But in the region which is the sub
ject of this article there is little lum-
Der, and so there are few lumbermen.
The degenerate Indians of the villages
seldom trouble themselves to hunt, and
the few moose killed by hunters are
as nothing compared with the young
ones destroyed by the bears. Bruin
gets trapped because his coat will aver
age $40 to his captor. There are no
wolves in this wilderness, so the pros
poets for the moose are getting better
instead of worse. And if there are
thousands of moose there are tens of
thousands of caribou.

Principal George H. Cliff of the girls
normal school has established unique
experimental class, consisting of little
boys of about the age Of 6 years, who
have thus far been taught only what is
right. They have no knowledge of the
wrong way of doing things. When they
do make mistake, it is not so called
by the teacher. No distinction between
right and wrong is drawn. Only the
best models of conduct and work are
persistently held before them. These
they are taught to follow. The chill
dren are conscious when they do not
attain to the standard they are taught
to strive more diligently to reach it;
but their failures are not called errors
or condemned as wrong Hence the
children have no consciousness of
wrongdoing, and having no fear Of
punishment for it they do not seek to
evade the results of their shortcom-
ings. In this way it is thought the
temptation to lie is eliminated. The
pupils are candid and straightforward,
free from the habit of evasion. The
old-fashioned idea was to teach the
child the nature of sin and its conse-
quences, with the idea that it would
avoid sin or wrongdoing because Of the
inevitable punishment. The new plan
consists in an ignoring of the existence
Of sin and the medication Of good and
wholesome concepts only. AS sin is
but comparative thing, after all, it
seems only reasonable to suppose that
the elimination of the comparisons
might do away with sin, or at least all
that is acquired by training and is not
innate. -Harper's Weekly.

The pestiferous climate offers one Of

fore a scientific society In Berlin He

declares, can only engage in planting,
trade, ranching or mining operations;
they cannot work with the ak. The
chief obstacles in the way of making
anIndlaoutof German East Africa were,
he said, the thinness of the population,
the low grade Of the native intelligence
and the fewness of their wants. With
Germany in control the population, he
argued, would increase, as wars and
slave-raiding would be stopped and
child-murder discouraged. He suggest
ed the possible introduction Of Indians
and coolies from the Malay peninsula
and expressed the opinion that England
would not object to immigration from
some Of the most densely populated
parts Of India, especially In times Of
famine. But agriculturists were want
ed, not traders. AS for the native AT
ricans, it was extremely difficult TO
turn them to account or devise any
method Of taxation which could be
proftably collected, for they had prac-
tically no wants and therefore had no
incentive to work.

BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Discriminating Estimate of the Founder

Discriminating Estimate OF the Founder

In studying Brigham Young | have
not sought to know the man as he lives
in Mormon literature, with a glowing
religious halo about his eminently
buslness-llke brow, writes William e.
Smyth in the November Atlantic. l
have sought rather to find him through
conversations with some of his favorite
captains and through the letters he
wrote them when they were engaged
In perilous missions to wild districts
in the unexplored west. These were
the men who lived near to him and
knew the thoughts that throbbed in his
active brain. None Of these men has
told me of any striking religious
thought which he uttered from the pull
pit, but all have said that he insisted
that II paid to pillow deep and plant
alfalfa. They have related with espe-
cial pride their talks with "the presi-
dent" at evening camp-fres, when he
would plan, with wonderful accuracy
irrigation canals and village sites to be
made in connection with the conquest
of some new valley they had explored.
The plans which he traced on the
ground with his cane by the freight
generally anticipated very closely the
later results of surveys. His letters to
these captains were full Of instructions
about provisions, coming emigrant par
ties and the treatment of the Indians.
They always closed with a devout ref
erenCe to divine Providence, but the
underlying spirit was that Of the sturdy
industrial chieftain aiming at the con-
quest Of the waste places.
This mans dreams were of empire.
In every fiber of his body, in every
beat of his brain and heart, he was
materiallst. All his buildings, like all
his philosophers, were fashioned on
strong and simple lines. They were
made not to look beautiful but to serve
useful purposes and to last long. That
he used the power of the church re-
lentlessly to accomplish his ends can
not be denied. But the church, how
ever much 1t may have meant to 9th
ers, was with him only one of the
means and not the great object of his
ambition. His first act in Utah was
to raise the American flag and pro-
claim himself governor of "the state
Of Deseret" of the working bee.

SLAVERY UNDER BRITISH FLAG.
A Dreadful Picture OF Helpless suffer-
ing at Zanzibar.

Dreadful Picture OF Helpless Suffer-
ing at Zanzibar
Great Britain's consul at Pemba,
near Zanzibar, tells, in his report to his
government, some strange facts about
the prevalence of slave trading under
the British flag. Pemba is an isolated de-
tendency of Zanzibar, lying some miles
north-northeast Of it, which pasesd un
der British protection with Zanzibar it.
self at the time when Heligoland was
coded to Germany as price for her
acquiescence in this arrangement. 1t is
indeed a picture of helpless suffering
that Consul O'Sullivan draws in de-
scribing the present condition of the
slave in Pemba. The Arab proprietors
are inexorably stern and exacting task
masters. The slave is a chattel, beast
of burden. He lives in what may by
courtesy be called hut. He Is allow
ed to till a small portion of land for
his own support on two days Of the
week. The remaining five he devotes
to work for his masters benefit. But
not all the year through. When the
harvesting of the staple product of the
island comes round, the picking Of
cloves, and labor is more than usually
valuable, the slave works for his mas
ter seven days in the week, being gen
erously allowed to retain for himself
the third part--in some cases two
thirds-of the fruits of his labor on
Thursday and Friday. And so this
miserable drudge lives his weary life,
until his strength is exhausted; and
then, when his arms are powerless to
labor and his legs refuse to carry him,
when his back Is bent and he is, though
young in years, decrepit old man, his
Arab master turns him out of his hut,
deprives him Of his plot of land and
discards him-a worn-Out instrument
for which he has no longer any use
Such is the picture-no fancy one or
highly colored--of the African slave
who lives in British protectorate
On the island the slaves die like flies
and yet there is always an abundant
supply of them. Where do they come
from? 1t will scarcely be asserted that
they voluntarily intrust their lives to
the tender mercies Of the Arab slave
master. In this part of the world the
slave trade is still, at any rate, -four

Emicrntlon From Sweden.

Swedish emigration is slowly increas-
ing. The total number of emigrants
for the three-quarters of the year is
1858. In 1896 the emigration was TO-
ISL, and in 1894, 7,O47, against 10000
during the years 1892 and 1898, respee-
lively. In connection with the Swe-
dish emigration to the United States
the report of the Swedish postmaster
general, just published, is interesting.
For the year 1895, $1,311 ,92O was re-
ceived in money orders from the United
States, while $277,S1O were sent from
Sweden, leaving balance in favor of
Sweden of $1,O34,61O. Probably an
equal amount was sent to Sweden
through the banks and emigrant agen-
cies.

A singular Delnsion.

While in small town in France, a
traveller saw an inn-keeper engaged in
saving apart tive-franc piece, and in
curing the reason, was told Of sin
gular delusion entertained by fully
half of the population. The story is
that Napoleon Bonaparte put check
for one hundred thousand francs in a
silver five-franc piece, and that the
coin is still in circulation. The people
did not want the five-franc piece, and
in order to create demand for it Ma
poleon resorted to the device men
toned, the check being written on as
bestos paper, and inclosed in the
metal at the time the coin was made.
Thousands of five-franc pieces are an
nually broken open and inspected since
this absurd story was first circulated,
and the credulous people are deaf to
all argument on the subject.

nIurder TO Avoid sniclde.

Perhaps the most curious murder on
record occurred in Philadelphia in 1850
when a Capt. Bruluman, a disgraced
officer Of the Royal American regiment,
shot man for no other reason than he
desired death and preferred to be
hanged by the state to taking his own
life. Having formed this design he
loaded his gun with a brace of balls,
and asked his landlord to go out shoot
ing with him, intending to STAY him
before his return, but the lucky land
lord, being particularly engaged at
home, escaped the danger. He then
went out alone, and on his way met a
man whom he was about to kill but
recollecting that there were no witness
es to prove him guilty, he suffered the
person to pass. Afterward going to a
tavern he engaged in a game of bill
lizards. Mr.. Scull, party engaged in
the game, having struck his antagon-
lists ball into one OF the pockets, Brulu-
man said to him, "Sir, you are a good
marksman; now I'll show you a fine
stroke" He Immediately took his gun,
levelled 1t deliberately, took aim at
Mr.. Scull (who imagined him in JEST.
and shot both the balls through his
Body. He then went up to the dying
man, who was still sensible, and said
