You will find it less easy. to unroot faults
than to choke them by gaining virtues. Do
not think of your faults, still less of others
faults; in every person who comes near you
look for what is good and strong; honor
that; rejoice in it; and your faults will
drop off, like dead leaves, when their time
comes.-John Ruskin.

EUROPE'S COLONIES.
or All the Powers Spain IL Falling
Steadily behind.

Steadily Dehind.
The only one of the European coun-
tries having colonial possessions which
are failing in respect of number.
wealth and population is Spain, once
the chief colonial power of the Euro
peau continent. While other govern
ments have been extending tLcir ini.u-
ence and possessions, Spain has been
railing in the rear, and the cason fer
this is seen clearly in Cuba an the Phil
ippines. Wasteful, Oppressive, mer-
cenary and Inefficient government is
the direct cause.
In a census of the colonial posses
sions of governments made 20 years
ago, it appeared that the total colonial
possessions of Great Britain covered =
GOO,O00 square miles, or more than CO
times the extent of the United Kingdom,
and had a population of about 100000
900. France had foreign colonies, cx-

Q A Musical SO,ietY.

A number of musical people interest
e1 in organizing a musical society in
this CITY, was held last night n Chopin
hall. After considering several propO-
sitions it was unanimously decided that
the success of the proposed society
would BE- best insured by Professor
Joseph Smith being made sole mauag-
er and conductor; the society to be es-
tablished on lines somewhat similar to
those of the musical societies SD sue
cessfully carried on by the professor In
England.
The object Of the society will be
to practice the works OF Distinguish
composers and to give public perfor-
mauces of the same, with a view 10 the
cultivation of taste for gh ca 5
sacred and secular music. me qu Al :
fications for membership in the society
will be: UD correct musical ear: =
a knowledge of the rudiments of music
and musical notation: (3) voice APP
proved by the conductor. No person
will be admitted to membership II ntll
their voice has been approved by the
conductor; ne ther will person De
made member without havipg been
passed upon by the membership COM
mittee.
Practice meetings will be held IN
Chopin hall every Monday at $50 p
M, the first meeting to be held on
Monday, September 20. Professor
Smith will BE- a resilient OF this city Tor
several years at least, and 1t is hoped
that his efforts for the cause of music
will be heartily supported. The pro-
lessor has had many years
of experience in cOnd uctlD
and managing large choral and orches-
trial societle 5, andhis acquaintance with
ali the standard writings OF the first
composers will insure the members OF
the society something to work upon
which will not only interest them in
musical composition. but will very
materially benefit their musical know
ledge and skill generally.

Our English Cousins.

Captai in Mahan, the historian of sea
power,in Harper's Monthly for Sept
ember elOquently urges more fra5er-
nal attitude on the part of the United
States to the English nation. Writing
as an American, he maintains that
there is an undeniable disposition on
the part of the British people aud
British state smen to cultivate the good
will of the United States, and he
adds:
That there is lukewarm response in
the United States is due to that narrow
conception which grew up with the
middle of the century, whose analogue
in Grea st Britain IS the Little England
party, and which in our own country
would turn all eyes inward, aud see no
duty save to ourselves. How shall two
walk together except they be agreed?
How shall there be true sympathy be-
tween a nation whose political activi-
ties are worldwide, and one that eats
out its heart in merely internal pOliti-
cal strife? When we begin really to
look abroad, and to busy ourselves with
cur duties to the world at large in our
geDeration-and not befOre-we shall
stretch out our hands to Great Brita n,
real zing that in unity If heart among
the Eng disappearing races lies the best

ahead -

Cuba Will Eluctate.

A sentence in one of Secretary Oh
ney's letters to the Spanish Minister,
contained in the Cuban correspondence
which was recently printed, has at.
tracted attention, writes A. J. Hal.
ford in the International Magazine
He wrote of 1.-THE inelucta bic and lawful
sovereignty of Spain" That sounds
quite like state document in the
Cleveland administration. The strange
word that gives it significance, scholars
say, comes from the Latin luc,ari, ito
struggle: eluctari to struggle out of:
and ineluctari, not to struggle out of.
The auttor of the phrase will not find
himself sustained by history in the
use of it. Holland, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, San Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras. Venezuela, Colombia, Peru
EQUATOR, Chilli, Argentine, Paraguay
and Uruguay, have all at one time OR
another 'eluctated" out of the severe.
ign grasp of Spain, aud if Secretary
Sherman be accepted as authority.

ONLY short time since Millionaire
Rockefeller drew his check in favor o
the missionary fund for S25O,OOO and
almost before the ink was dry on the
check Rev. F. c. Tyrell said in ser
mon before the New York Missionary
Society convention at Rochester: "We

mercial brigand stands not on the
highway to flch the passers by, but
behind an oil faucet, levying toll Oh

The smell of Rockefellers millions will
not i'm pregnate the air with one-half

leges and universities of the land, for

religion" That looks like gross in
gratitude, to say the least, however
much truth there may be in the state
ment.

California and kIOndikc.

1t is not likely that many aurlferous
quartz veins will be found in the valley
of the Yukon river, nor in the lmme-
date vicinity of the placer deposits, a
large portion of the placer gold OF
California was undoubtedly derived
from the wearing away OF the adjacent
quartz veins, while much of 1t came
down from the north through the now
dead rivers which at one time and
perhaps for many centuries flowed at
nearly right angles to the course OF
the present streams. The old rivers
from the north were overwhelmed Tor
long distances by lava flow and their
couten.s preserved until after the up
lift of the Sierra Nevada range and
the creation If a new system OF strea Us,
which, cutting down to the channels of
the dead rivers, picked up their pre-
.ious contents and distributed them
along their own beds. In the Yukon
basin the conditions were different. In
the latter the country is everywhere
glaciated. When the enormously thick
glaciers which brought the auriferOus
gravels of that region from the north
be an to re cede through melting In a
modified climate (even much warmer
than at present), they deposited their
morainal drift in that great basin, and
since that time, and with much greater
rapidly as the glaciers melted, streams
have carried away vast masses of the
lighter drift material and left the gold
cOncentra along the stream beds
and ao jacent flats over which the
streams once meandered. AS the true
source OF all this gold may BE-, and
probably is, much further north-far
up in the Arctic circle or about the
north pole-it might be well for those
| who contemplate during the frightful
climate of the Yukon to await the
report of DR.. Andree, and then strike
directly for the north pole itself, the
climate about which probably does not
differ perceptibly from that Of Yucon
country.

NIusketS,

While the introduction of portable
fire arms into Europe is of com parative-
ly rece1t d ate, their U.s. Was frequent
among the Mohammedans of eastern
Asia at very early period. La
B.ocquiere, who made journey to
.Jerus 4lem in the middle of the fl tteenth
century, and who travelled
extensively in the east, mentions the
firing of small harquebu5es at the great
festivals in Damascus.
The first use of muskets in Europe
was at the siege of Rhege in 1891, by
the Spanish soldiers. These arms
were so extremely heavy that they
could not be used without u rest. They
were provided with matchlJcks, and
we're effective at considerable DIS
lance. While on the march the SOL
diers themselves carried only the am
munition and the rests, and boys, bear
ing the muskets, followed after, like
caddies on a golf-course.
Loading these cumb ONE arms
was slow operation. Tney were
clumsy and awkward to handle, the
ball and powder were carried separate
ly. and the preparation and adjustment
of the match took long time.
Before long, however, improvements
began to be made. The guns became
lighter in construction, and the SOL
diers carried their ammunition in
br Dad shoulder-b belts called bandeliers
to which were suspended a number of
little leath 3r-covered wooden cases,
each of which held charge of powder,
a pouch, in which tie bullets were
carri ID loose land a priming-hOrn hung
at the sides of the soldier.
AS late as the time of Charles l.
muskets with rests were still in use,
it was not until the beginning of the
eighteenth century that frelOcks
were successfully employ .-Harper's

THE truth about the Cuban war will
crop out occasionally, even from Amer
lean correspondents who are doing and
saying all they can against the Span
iards. Such correspondent is Criten-
den Marriott, who admits that the truth
is, the war was not started by Cubaus,
but by foreigners-Central and South
Americans and naturalized citizens of
the United States. The former, soldiers
of fortune who had fought in every re-
volution from Mexico to Ratag onia,
scented the rich plumber that must fall
to their share if they could control the
government of Cuba, and hast ed to the
banquet; the latter, learning for the
first time what freedom was, aud there
by gifted with imagi nation-the fist
requisite in bottle for an idea-yearn-
ed to free their country from the yoke
of Spain. The home people of Cuba,
bovine, indolent, unimaginative, took
no part of the uprising G, take no interest
IN its progress, and will care little if it
falls"

The Big Brother.

1t was very small big big brother
of whom we read in the papers the oth-
err day that being five years old he
caught and saved from drowning his
little sister, aged two, who bad fallen
into the brook where both were play
ing. But small and young as he was,
to this brave wee man had come the
knowled ge of big brothers duty, the
duty of or tectipg and guarding the
child who was less experienced tina n
himself. One of the most beautiful re-
latiOrs in the world is that OF the older
brother. the one to whom the younger
ones turn in emergencies, the one on
whom the mother and father lean as
they feel the burden of years, the one
who becomes in a sense, alter the 1ath-
err, the he d of The house.
Children early learn to adopt the
manners and the speech OF the elder
brother: the small boy is educated by
the one who is at cole ge or in bus ness
much more than by his gOverness or
his tut,r. Said wise observer once;
