CBARACTBR OF THE DAILY.

1 know city in which, at one time,
the daily papers seemed to vie with each
other as to which could come the near
est to the line of jndecency which
would exclude them from the mails
The women of the city rose up in pro
test, and mass meetings were held to
denounce the offenses of the press.
At the height of the excitement q
| change of ownership took place in one
of these journals, and the new proprie-
tor, possibly as a matter of business,
took sides with the women, denounced
his contemporaries, and engaged to
and did run perfectly clean paper.
After a few months Of trial, and an
active canvass on that basis, the pro
prietor told me that he had not won
over q single subscriber whose sub
scription could be traced to the cause,
while his saloon and barber-shop pat
ronage fell off to nothing, and his sales
to mill hands were seriously impaired.
He said he presumed he did get some,
but he never knew them. At consid-
erable expense he had lists made of the
men and women prominent il the
"clean paper" agitation, including a
long list-many thousands-ot those
who had registered themselves in the
movement, compared his own carriers
books, and made deliberate set to
get the subscriptions of these people
who were taking the papers they de-
nounced. He got substantially none
of them; only the ordinary changes
took place which are constantly going
on. And yet his paper was as good as
the others, and clean. He was utterly
disgusted. He said these reformers
| were humbugs. Every one of them
really wanted the nasty stuff which
they were getting. He seemed to be
right, for in a few weeks more the
whole thing dropped.-[ The Arena,

ALL TWINS MURDERED.

Miss Scissor, CT the United PreSby
terian Mission at Old Calabar, who was
passenger il the Elder Demster liner
Oror, had with her four black children,
whose cases reveal painful part of
West African history.
Miss Siessor has now worked for
twenty-five years in Old Calabar. The
children are aged, respectively, Two,
three. FIVE and sixteen years, and each
is one OF twins appointed at one time to
die, in accordance with superstitious
custom prevailing in the Niger coast
protectcrate. In the course of an inter
view Miss Scissor said that all twins
born were, according to the native law,
to be put Immediately to death, and il
is only those who have been rescued by
the missionaries and placed beyond the
reach OF the native power who have so
far escaped. The children on the
/ Oron were four of these.
Altogether Miss Slessor has herself
saved the lives of fifty-one twins. When
the twins are born they are at once
taken from the mother, and, if no one
intercedes, they are taken by the feet
and head and have their backs broken
across native woman's knee, in the
sams way as one would break stick.
The bodies are then placed in an esst-
wand receptacle and taken to the bush,
wnere they ere devoured by the files,
Insects or apimsl5.
Sometimes the little victims are put
into these receptacles alive, and are
then eaten alive in the same way.
The mother becomes an outcaet. II
she does not at once take her own life,
she has to fee to the bush. If she ven-
lures near the town or village she must
see that she does not remain on the
path when aay other native is coming.
Her presence. according to their super
stition, would defile the place for others.
She must not drink from the same
spring, must not touch anything even
belonging to her own relations, and
there is little cause for wonder that she
takes away life which has become q
living dearh.
Miss Slassor was accompanied on the
Oron by Miss McIutosh, and together
they are going to establish home for
these native twins. The native super
stition is that the birth of twiLs il the
result OF witchcraft aad deviltry. For
merly the mother. as we'll as the child
ren, was put to death. The inerven
tion of tue white missionaries and ira
ders,has saved her.life, but she is des-
pissed Gu cast, whomuone of the natives
dare even speak to; her existence IS
simply prolonged agcny.-[London
