DIR. Peters, tho Explorer"

DR.. Peters once wrote book entitled
"New Light Oh Dark Africa, in which
he shows us the sort Of light that his
work has thrown on that continent In
August, 1889, he started up the lana
river in British East Africa at the head
Of an armed force of Somali. Before the
end of that month, by tho capsizlng OF
a canoe, he lost, among some loads OF
ammunition and brandy, "the only load
of beads l possessed" He continued
his Journey, as he tells us, without
any articles of barter. y
He of course had not sufficient food
with him to last for the whole journey,
and could not have carried it if he had.
In consequence, as he explains, "the
determination to advance without the
requisite articles of barter once for all
decided the character tho expedition
was for the future to bear. " AS the car
AVIAN was obliged to get food and had
no money with which to buy it, food
had to be stolen.
The subsequent history of the expcdi.
ton is therefore ono long story of raid,
loot and massacre. No traveller has fol
lowed in Peters footsteps without feel
ing the i'll effects Of the distrust of Eu'
ropcans that has resulted from his &C
ton. The harm he did cannot be un.
done in less than q generation. -Satur-

The legislature for the state of Wash
ington has arranged for the submission
of an amendment to the people at the
election in 1898 authorizing cities and
towns to exempt manufacturing indus
tries from taxation for stated period of
time. a New England contemporary re-
fers to this as ga gratifying sign of an
appreciation of the benefits that come to
communities through encouraging indus
trial activity in part OF the country
where opposition to thrift has been a
leading principle"
This is the first intimation we have re-
ceived that 'opposition to thrift" was
ever "a leading prnciple' or settled
policy in any part of the country. We
have always supposed that every state,
every community and all parties, were in
favor OF thrift. The advocates OF every
school OF political economy and OF every
state of all political issues have always
protested a desire to promote industry
and thrift Each claims that his policy
is the best because it will best promote
industrial activity and afford the best
opportunities for individual prosperity.
The state OF Washington will, il the
proposed amendment is adopted, follow
the good example set by South Carolina
a year or SO ago. 1t is an adaptation OF
the bounty system; for exemption from
taxes is the same, in principle and
effect, as the paying OF bounty equiva-
lent to the surrendered tax. We have
little doubt that the amendment will be
approved by the people, and believe that
it's adoption will be of great assistance in
developing the resources and increasing
the taxable property CT that great and
richly endowed commonwealth.-W Wash

Chinese Treatment of Children.

However little liked the Chinaman
may be by his white neighbors, have
at all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praiscworthy quail
ity-the Kindness shown by all Of them
toward their children. The poorest
parents always seem able to save enough
money to array their little ones in gay
garments Oh New Years day or other
holidays The children in turn seem to
be remarkably well behaved and respect
full toward their elders, and rarely if
ever receive corporal punishment. They
seem very happy, and apparently enjoy
their childhood more than most Ameri-
can children. On almost any sunny day
the fond and proud father may be seen
at every turn in Chinatown carrying his
brightly attired youngstcr in his arms.
Other little tots, hardly old enough to
feel quite steady ON their legs, toddle
about with infants strapped on their
backs. They do not appear to mind this,
and it does not seem to interfere with
their childish pastimes. About the time
of the Chinese New Year Chinese chill
dren are particularly favored, and the
fond fathers deny them nothing The

FACTS FOR SMOKERS.

Tha tobacco plant has been
thoroughly naturalized in all parts of
the world.
Tobacco is named after the pipe used
by the West Indian islanders. and
was originally called ''tobago."
The oil of tobacco found in the
stems of the Iong-used pipes or OBJ
tanned by Oscillation at red heat is
enc Of the most active and powerful
poisOns known.
After the plant is cut down it must
be allowed to wilt so that it can be
handled without breaking. If left too
long, however, it becomes sunburnt,
and it's quality impaired.
The smoke Of burning tobacco con-
ta'ns nicCtia, nicotianie, salts of ON
moria, hydrCcyanic acid, sulphuretted
ny 6rogen, three or four volatile acids,
pIenOl, creosOte and several other
substances.
Molasses, licorice, fig juice, glycerin
and some other substances are used
to give sweetness to chewing tobacco
while in some brands salt is also en-
ployed and various aromatic essences
are used for their flavor.
"Worming' the tobacco is a steady
job on a tobacco farm. The worms
that feed on tobacco are not easily
killed by poisons. Young turkeys are
the best ''wormers," as, when accus-
toned to the job, they examine every
leaf and never miss worm.
