SPEAKING of princely donations to
narious institutions and for various
purposes, the Southern Inventor sug-
gests that perhaps even greater good
might be accomplished by the lorna
ton thus of a home-purchasing funo
which should enable industrious people
of small means, or of no means but
their current wages or salary, to secure
homes in city, town or country at actual
cost and a small interest, say or 3 per
cent per annum. Such fund would
bring prosperity and happiness, and be
of great benefit to the country, If only
judiciously and honestly managed.

In the interest of temper anoe, the
Russian government nearly two years
ago took upon itself monopoly in the
sale of corn brandy, the national drink,
n four OF its eastern provinces. AL
though drunkenness i'stead OF temper
ance WAS greatly increased, it has been
found that the scheme pays over fifty
per cent, on the capital employed, and
therefore the monopoly is to be extended
over all the provinces of the empire.

The YaUui War.

The report that the hostile and re-
bellious Yaqui indians, who have been
causing so much trouble in the state of
Sonora, are about to be reduced to sub
lection, is of no little interest and i'm
portance. 1t is true that peace is not
yet an accomplished fact, but the va
quis are reduced to the last extremity
poorly armed, badly clothed and
wretchedly fed, and they are being
pursued so closely, that 1T is only a
question of time when they must sub
nit, if not willingly, then to superior
force.
Their conquest or submission will
mean much to Mexico. The war which
they have teen waging has removed
from settlement one of the most fer
tile regions in the whole republic, a
region that is capable of supporting
in comfort and plenty very large pop
ulation, which is not less rich in its
mineral than in its agricultural re
sources: and whose development will
add vastly to the wealth of this rapid
| 1y'grOwing country.
Mexico now is attracting the atten-
ton of investors and emigrants in al
most all parts OF the world. The press
is filled with glowing accounts of her
prosperity and advancement, and
| thousands are anxious to cast their
fortunes with the future of this wonder
full country. There is room for them,
and to spare, but it is well that so
fertile a region also should be in line
with the rest of the republic. MOI
part, but all, should be developed. Il
is matter for rejoicing, therefore
that not far distant is the end of the
war the of Yaquis.-Two Republics

Mr.. Sankey tells good story about
Mr.. Moody's experience in picture
gallery in Paris. The great evangelist
is not at all stuck on giving his pictur-
es out for publication, and never car
ries any around with him as some pub
lie men do to give reporters when they
call. While in the French capital, he
was persuaded by his wife to sit for his
picture in the gallery of a we'll known
artist who by the way had no idea who
his patient" was. The proof proved
satisfactory, and then Mr.. Moody ask
ed the artist his price for the negative
twas so much. The money was i'm
mediately paid over, and the photogra-
pher was astonished to see Mr.. Moody
deliberately smash the glass into
fragments. The evangelist did not
propose allowing any loop hole through
which his picture could be got through
for publication.

THE TOWN OF NooooD.

My friend. have you heard of the
town of Nogood,
On the banks of the River Slow.
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower
fair,
Where the Sometimeorother scents
the air,
And the soft Goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of What's theuse
In the province of Leterslde;
Misunderstanding is native there,
It's the home of the reckless Idont-
care.
Where the Giveitups abide
1t stands at the bottom of Lazy HILL
And is easy to reach, l declare;
You've only to fold up your hands and
glide
Down the slope Of Weakwills tobOg-
gan slide
The Town is as old as the human race,
And It grows with the flight of years.
1t is wrapped in the fog of idler's
dreams,
It's streets are paved with discarded
schemes.

The Collegebredfool and the Richman's
heir
Are plentiful there no doubt;
The rest Of its crowd ale motley
crew
With every class except one in view
The r'oolkiller is barred out
Tho town of Nogood is all hedged
about
BY the Mountains of Despair.
No sentinel stands on its bloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph
calls
For towards alone are there.
My friend, from the dead-alive town
Nogood
If You would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good
and i'll,
Take this for your motto, Il can.
