So Easy to Go Down Hill.

A recent traveller, in giving a deserip-
ton of his climbing Mount P0pocate-
petI, in Mexico, and visiting its crater,
says that they were able TO return from
the top of the mountain to the snow
line in fifteen minutes, covering a dis
tance which had required them six
hours to ascend. One sees things like
that often in common life. A man
struggles for years to build up good
reputation for honesty and integrity
among his fellowmen, and then in an
unguarded hour he takes a fatal to-
boggan-slide that hurls him in a single
act below where he began to climb
twenty or thirty years ago. 1t is those
who persevere unto the end who win
the crown, and no one can afford to
grow careless or to cease to be watchful
against temptation.

"As Clean as n WHISTLE"

The origin of saying "as clean as a

tankard" Of olden times, in which the
whistle came into play when the tank
ard was emptied or cleared out" to
announce to the waiter that more Ii
quor was required.

An Inherited Secret.

In Nagasaki, Japan, there is a fire
works maker who manufactures pyro-
technic birds of great size that, when
exploded, sail in lifelike manner
through the air, and perform many
movements exactly like those of living
birds. The secret Of making these
wonderful things has been in the pos
session of the eldest child of the family
of each generation for more than four
hundred years.

PERHAPS YOU'RE A MATToID
Probability That You Are One and Don't
Know 1t.

Know 1t.
Perhaps you don't know what a
"mattoid" is. Shortly, he is a sane
man with claims to genius, but possess
ed of some marked popularity that in
clines one to doubt of his complete
sanity.
There have been sane men of genius
and mad men Of genius-the latter pre-
ponderate-but mattoid forms a link
between the two.
According to Lombrosso, the great
criminologist, mattoids are more fire.
uuent among men than women, and the
classes where they most abound are the
literary, artistic and religious.
Preference for colored inks, just as
also a fondness for special words or
phrases. marks man as a mattoid.
If such a sign is true it is perhaps a lit
tie fiattering to ones vanity to think
that such an eccentricity may be proof
of latent genius hitherto unsuspected.
The commonest variety of mattoid is
the "graphomaniac," otherwise the
confirmed scribblsr. The man who
spoils ream after ream of paper in
writing Of nothing in particular, who
showers marks of exclamation as from
a apepper1box-suchi is a mattoid. Many
women writer's and minor poets come
under this head.
1t is reassuring to know that the
"graphomaniac," however abnormal
his literary productions, is found to
have a normal Uranium and physiog-
nomy.
Personal preoccupation and agrees
i've egotism are bad signs. But because
Whitman, Rosseau, Musset and De-
Quincy wrote much Of themselves,
and did not always veil their various
personalities under the editorial I'VE, "
it seems little rude, not to say harsh
to call them mattoids. Wagner, under
the influence of a peculiar mood, af-
firmed that he could not work if he
did not have in his room a red fam
lingo mat. Could he have realized
without intention of punning) that
such a trait was mattoidal?
Peter the Great, when he was in
England, often sat up till 2 in the
morning with Lord Caermarthen
drinking brandy, and pepper! Never
theless, he invariably rose at f.
The fact that Napoleon could not
pass through a street without counting
all the windows would certainly earn
for him the esteem of most eccen-
tries.
But it is not necessary to go ON emu
merating historical instances of &C.
| centricity. Let the reader look around
among his or her circle of friends and
| show an exaggerated fondness for de-
| tail, passion for animals or an ir.
repressible fancy for punning. AL
these are in danger Of developing into
mattoids.
Collectors of stamps or old shoes, in.
ventors of weird drinks-such as gor.

ly inveterate ''scorchers," all are NOR.
bid subjects.
The man who went mad in his eff
forts to walk on the ceiling like a fly
was mattoid of the very deepest dye
In fact, any degree of excessive orig
inality is a dangerous thing in coun.
try where the eyes of the law look with
suspicion upon all who are not quite
ordinary, though in these days of self
advertisement it is hard to find people
who are ''ordinary"-everybody is Sc
clever.

is feasting during all this time, and the

WHO WILL HELP.

The Voice Of Missions mournfully
remarks:-" here are no advocates of
human rights in the United States to-
dav Charles Sumner is dead, Abra
ham Lincoln is gone, Wendell Phillips,
VIM. LLOYD Garrison, Frederick Dou-
elas and Harriet Beecher Stowe have
all passed away; and with them went
the last great advocates OF human
rights" This complaint IS, however,
too pessimistic
Yet even the Society OF Friends
(Quakers) in America, once the fore
most champions of the negro, through
their J. G. Whittier, Thomas Garrett,
Isaac B. Hopper, Levi Coffin, Francis
T. King and other good men, have of
late years, become strangely silent
and apparently apath ctiC, as to the
oppressed race.
SELF HELP.
However, a people of twelve million
ought no longer TO be mainly depend
ent upon or looking to others for their
own protection. They must now chief
ly turn to schemes of self-help-or re-
main oppressed
THE PROBLEM.
An American correspondent of the
Howard Ass ociation wires (ISoo):-
THE negro trouble has become so
great that, fear, the difficulty can
never be settled but with blood"
The problem is indeed a vast one,
and of pressing import to the United
States, both North and South. Is the
Christianity of that great nation to re-
main impotent for the solution? Are
the colord people to be driven to what
now appears to be their only means OF
relief-by self-help, through imitat-
ing the methods Of their adversaries
in the formation of Secret Societies
and powerful and compact, Organized
Unions, for defence and offence 1t
is only thus, that they can make them
selves what they must be, somehow
respected and feared as a race? But
what else are they to do, unless the
white race bestirs itself for other eff.
forts than continuing oppression?

BRUTAL CAPTAINS. T"

Fearful brutalities are perpetrated
by these captains" in the lonely, re
mote places where many OF the gangs
are located, as in forests and mines.
Sometimes convictS have been flayed
alive! On one prisoners corpse forty
injury were found. He had been
literally beaten to pieces. Another
had been disgustingly dismembered
by kicks, and there was a great hole
gaping in his side. A young white girl
of seventeen wears, after being repeat
edly outraged by the officers of the
camp, fled TO the woods. She was
overtaken by bloodhounds, her
clothes stripped off. and she was then
fiogged in the presence of jeering
men. Another poor girl, similar treat
ed, gave birth TO a child, but both
mother and offspring were speedily
relieved by death. Women and girls
are habitually subjected to the gross
est indecencies and exposures. In
one camp was found a woman who
had had seven children whilst there,
and another had had six there. And
such cases are legion!

| en- as April of that year, namely, before
| Colonel Jeannel lent the firing manual.
The prisoner said that in 1894 he in
sisted at both the preliminary examina-
| ton and at the court martial that Colo
mel Jeannel should be examined.
IT obtained no satisfaction" Dreyfus
added. IT was, however, sure of my
| facts. Colonel Jeannels memory must
| be playing him false. Perhaps the con-
! fusion arises from the fact that ask
ed him to lend me the German firing
] manual"
Colonel Jouaust-Do you remember
that. Colonel Jeannel?
Jeannel-No.
At this point M. Labor expressed
surprise that it was not thought neces-
sary in 1894 to examine a witness, who,
to-day, out of pure caprice, and for the
convenience Of the prosecution" had
become an excellent witness. The court,
counsel added, would deduct its own
opinion.
During the course Of the subsequent
proceedings a letter written by Cap
tain Lemonier was read, repeating an
alleged conversation with Dreyfus when
the latter is said to have stated that
he followed the German manoeuvres at
Mulhouse.
The prisoner briefly controverted some
of the witness statements, but said
that he would NOS condescend to reply
to Captain Lemonier's assertions nor to
M. Beaurepaires, but, he was extremely
sorry to see an officer utilize the utter
.ances of a witness whose immortality
was acknowledged.
The court then adjourned.
