Not FuH Yet.

The world is by no means full up
yet Queensland has still an area of
40, O0O, 900 acres to population of
about 100000 people. Its government
has lately been offering more tempting
conditions to settlers, who may now
hold ordinary land for 20 years at a
rental of threepence per acre, while
scrub land' may be selected in areas
up to 10000 acres and held for 30 years
at an average rental per acre of very
much less than a penny. This ought to
be good news for many struggling for
a bare living in the mother country.
OF course the climatic conditions in
many portions of the colony are trying,
but so they are in western Australia
which at the present time is adding $50
per week to its population, and the
revenue of which has been increasing
at rate far outstripping the calcula-
tons of its treasurer. But this may be
only temporary, and it may be that
Queensland will be the home of mil
lions of our fellow countrymen after

He was above all things else capa-
bic executive boy. He loved mastery,
and he reIished acquiring the most eff
fective means of mastery in all prac-
teal affairs. His very exercise books
used at school gave proof of it. They
were filled, not only with the rules,
formulate, diagrams and exercises of
surveying, which he was taking spe-
cial pains to learn, at the advice of his
friends, but also with careful copies of
legal and mercantile papers, bills of
exchange, bills of sale, bonds, linden
lures, land warrants, leases, deeds and
wills, as if he meant to be lawyers
or merchants clerk. 1t would
seem that, passionate and full of
blood as he was, he conned
these things as he studied the
use and structure of his fowling- piece,
the bride he used for his colts. his
saddle-girth, and the best ways of
mounting. He copied these forms of
business as he might have copied Bev-
erley's account of the way fox or pos
sum or beaver was to be taken or the
wild turkey trapped. The men he most
admired, his elder brothers, Mr.. Fair
fax, and the gentlemen planters who
were so much at their houses, were
most of them sound men of business,
who valued good surveying as much as
they admired good Craftsmanship and
skill in sport They were their own
merchants, and looked upon forms of
business paper as quite as useful as
plows and hogsheads. Careful exercise
in such matters might well enough
accompany practice in the equally
formal minuet in Virginia. And so this
boy learned to show in almost every
thing he did the careful precision Of the
perfect marksman.-Woodro Wilson.
in Harper's Magazine.

his obligation to the people and to the
law, but he was ever mindful of the
still higher obligation to the principles
of justice and humanity. To be truth
full, to be just, to be humane-these
were the bright jewels in his crown of
character. 1t is fact most interesting
and impressive now to recall, after all
our great troubles and conflict over the
slavery question, that he left his solemn
testimony against that institution in
words which ought to have been needed
by his countrymen. AS early as 1886,
just after the revolution, he wrote:
There is no man living who wishes
more sincerely than 1 do to see plan
adopted for the abolition of slavery.
But there is but one proper and eff
fectua1 mode by which it can be ac-
complished and that is by legislative
authority, and this, SO far as my suf-
frage will go, will never be wanting
And these noble words he put into
practical effect by the emancipation of
his own slaves by will, humanely pro-
viding for the support of the aged and
infirm among them, and giving the
most explicit and peremptory direc-
tons that those too young to support
themselves should "be taught to read
and write and brought up to some use
full occupation''-and this to be charge
upon his estate.-Hon. Charles S. May,
in Detroit Free Press.

A PRACTICAL STATESMAN.

George Washington Model Man of
business, Order and Law-Tru hfuI, j ust,
Humane.
Washington was eminently a prac-
teal statesman. His mind was of the
solid, practical order. In the Old South
church in Boston I have seen, in his
own bold and clear handwriting, the
expense accounts which he kept in the
revolution, down to the shillings and
the pence. He was no theorist, tho
author of no new idea or system in gov
eminent. He left to jefferson to
enunciate the great ideas of liberty in
the Declaration of independence and
to Hamilton to inaugurate our great
system of finance. But when it came
to practical administration and execus
tive duty he was a model of business,
of order and law. Here his great rule
and guide was the conscientious per-
Torrance of public duty. Naturally
conservative ia his ideas, the suprem-

Something of His Early Training, His
requirements and His Love of Mastery.
A boy who was much at Mount Yer
non and at Mr.. Fairfax's seat, Belvoir,
might expect to see not a little that
was worth seeing Of the life of the col
ony. George was kept at school until
he was close upon 16; but there was
ample vacation time for visiting. Mrs
Washington did not keep him at her
apron strings. He even lived, when it
was necessary, with his brother Angus
tine, at the old home on Bridges creek,
in order to be near the best school shat
was accessible, while the mother was
far away on the farm that lay upon the
Rappahannock. Mrs. Washington saw
to it, nevertheless, that she should not
lose sight of him altogether. When he
was IA it was proposed that he should
be sent to sea, as so many lads were,
no doubt, from that maritime province;
but the prudent mother preferred he
should not leave Virginia, and the
schooling went on as before = the
schooling Of books and manly sports.
Every lad learned to ride-to ride colt
or horse, regardless of training, gait or
temper-in that country, where no one
went afoot except to catch his mount In
the pasture. Every lad, black or w,nitc,
bond or free, knew where to find and
how to take the rowing game in the for
ests. And young Washington, robust
boy that he was, not to be daunted
while that strong spirit sat in him
which he got from his father and
mother alike, took his apprenticeship
on horseback and in the tangled woods
with characteristic zest and ardor.

acy and authority of law and govern
ment were ever uppermost in his mind
and purpose. When in his second term
that whisky insurrection broke out in
Pennsylvania and the misguided mall
contents, after fair warning by his
proclamation, continued to resist the
collection of the tax and to resort to
mob law and violence, he promptly
called out Is, 900 militia from the neigh
boring states and repaired to the scene
of action, ready TO take command and
crush the incipient rebellion with. a
strong hand. But this show of power
and purpose, with Washington behind
it, was enough, and the lawless ele-
ments retired abashed, as they always
will, when confronted by leader who
dares to shoot and to kill.
But Washington not only recognized

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

-Laborers are hocl1ing to Liberia to
work on the great Liberian railway.
This is the route that will play havoc
with the eastern question, destroy the
usefulness of Constantinople as the key
to Europe and enable Americans to go
to the Japan sea in Il days.
"A very low temperature, 400 de-
grees below zero, has been shown to
have remarkable effect upon the color
of many bodies. The brilliant scarlet
of vermi1lion and mercuric iodide is
reduced, under its influence, to a pale
orange, the original color returning
with the rise of the temperature. Blues
are unaffected by cold, and the effect is
comparatively small upon organic col
oring matters of all tints.
The movement for the industrial
education of the southern negroes Is
about to be advanced by the building
of cotton mill at Concord, n. c., for
the special employment and instruction
of negroes in this line of work. 1t is
being built by w. C. Coleman, wealthy
coiored man, and Will be the first cot
ton mill in the country to employ col
ored operatives, although there is
spinning mill at Columbia, S. c., where
they are employed.

liza frogs are found in fair numbers,
creeks and claypans "swarming" with
them. AS the waters dry up the frogs
disappear in their burrows, remaining
till the rains come again. Certain spe-
cies of Them" says Spencer, gorge
themselves with water before they go
into their retreats, and in times of
drought the natives dig them out and
obtain enough water from their bodies
to satisfy their thirst.
1t appears that as the earth be-
comes overpopulated all men must be-
come vegetarians. a recent estimate
shows that % acres of land are neces-
sary to sustain one man on fresh meat,
while the same area, if devoted to wheat
culture, would feed AZ people; if to
oats, IS; potatoes, Indian corn and rice,
176, and if to plantain or breadfruit,
over 5000 people. Ere the dire prophecy
of Nautilus is fulfilled, however, we may
reasonably expect the chemist to pro-
vide artificial food for the multitude.
AS to the age of the Niagara falls,
biologists differ widely in opinion. At
first it was estimated that the Niagara
river came into existence through
changes in the level of the land around
the great lakes. about $4,000 years ago.
Later this was reduced to only $4,000
years. The celebrated geologist, Sir
Charles Lyell, increased the estimate
again to $4,000 years; but more recent
ly others have lowered it to about 5000
years. The latest estimate is that of
DR.. J. w. Spencer, who, basing his con-
illusions on the most recent investiga-
tons, places the age of the river at 3d.

Hints OF Value to the COOK and House
keeper.
When Ioaves of bread are baked in
too hot an oven and the outside crust
gets too brown do not attempt to cut
it off, but as soon as the bread is cold
rub it over with coarse tin crater and
remove all the dark brown crust.
Always remember that one OF the best
appetizers is pleasant conversation.
1t is said that if each of the large pep
pers is rolled in paper and put in dark.
cold place it will keep green and may
be used for vegetable until midwinter.
When baking a custard pudding or
pie, as soon as the custard becomes
solid remove the dish from the oven, for
too long cooking will make cHstard
watery.
delicious sauce is made from grated
juice, little salt, and a suspicion of
white sugar. Served with cold meats, it
makes them much more inviting and
palatab1e. This sauce will retain its
flavor for some time if kept well COW
cred when not being used. Made with
the juice OF a lemon, the root does not
discolor so quickly as when made in the
old way with vinegar.
One of the best and quickest ways of
cleaning the isinglas windows in stove
is with vinegar and water. Dip soft
cloth in the vinegar and water, and
quickly rub the windows over, going
well into the corners. The windows will
remain clean for a long time.-N. Y. Sun.
