The extent and diversity of the infor-
nation of such men are something as
tonishing. Some years ago l spent
couple of days with a gentleman who
is recognized as one of the foremost
connoisseurs of Paris. We visited sew
eral country places which contained
pictures said to be of great value, and
in all he inspected upward of two doz-
en- canvases.
"In every instance he settled the
questions of date, period and painter
beyond all reasonable doubt. The warp
and wool of the canvas, the wood
composing the backing, the nature of
the borings made by worms, the work
manship of the tacks, the character of
the pigment and certain minute pecul-
iahties in the mounting were all like
so many pages of print to him. He
was intimately acquainted with the
style of hundreds of different artists,
the models they used, the colors they
most affected, their tricks Of compost

pressing the effects of light and shade.

his profession and was just beginning

Some interesting figures as to the
proportion of farmers boys among
college students have been gathered
by the American Agriculturist. 1t
has returns from 17S universities and
colleges, reporting an attendance of
$4,000 students, out of total ot91-
900 in all the higher educational in-
stitutions of the country. In its
analysis of the figures the Agricultur-
list reduces the number OF students
considered to little under $4,000,
for some unexplained reason exclud-
ing, it says. a few city colleges, like
Harvard, Pratt Institute, University
of Rochester, Fisk University and
others. Out of this total Of about
$4,000 it finds that nearly 81 900
are from the agricultural classes or
a percentage of 40.2 from the farm.
This percentage varies largely in diff
erent sections of the country. 1t is

The day was one of great excitement in Balti-

as President Of the National Bank of Baltimore and
the news of the assignment of the Charles A. Voge-
Ter Company, druggists, consisting of Christian
Devries and his wife, formerly Mrs. Minnie A.
vogeler, had made general assignment for the
benefit of their creditors, Henry s Dulany, who
has been for many years the general manager of the
company, is the assignee. The firm were proprie-
tors, of ST. Jacobs oiland Bulls Cough Syrup, and
at one time were the most extravagant advertisers
in the world. Then came the announcement that
the Produce Exchange Trust Company of New
York had suspended.

led the downward movement with an extreme de-
cline of 10 points Mercantile Trust broke - points
Continental Trust points, Maryland Casualty 2
points, United States Fidelity and Guarantee Z

out.
On Tuesday the Columbian Iron Works and Dry
Dock Company consented to a receivership, as re-
suit of the failure of the Charles A. Vogeler Com
pany, of which Mr. Christian Devries is the presi-
dent and from the fact that Mr.. DeVries is an en-
dorser of the commercial paper of the company.
Mr.. Harry A. Parr, another endorser of the COM
pany's paper, filed the bill in court, and was ap-
pointed receiver nominal bond. The company,
in answer claims that with q proper allowance of

High Protection Scored.

Hon. John Wanamaker, the millionaire
merchant of Philadelphia, New York and
Paris, and once Postmaster General, recently
expressed some views before the Industrial
Commission, in session at Washington. He
severely criticised the high protection theory,
expressing the opinion that the worst blow
Philadelphia's carpet trade ever had was when
the high tariff shut out foreign goods. ''As
soon as possible, he said, every mill in this
country was working day and night. Mills
built for other purposes were adapted for
carpet weaving and the output soon became
enormous. The result was that the trade
was thoroughly demoralized aud it was FIVE
years before any profit was made, because
it took that length of time to catch up with
the overproduction. "

UNION BRIDGE, Dec. 16, 1S99.-As Super
intendent of the county temperance work in
our C. f. Societies, feel that at this season
of the year in which we commemorate the
wonderful love of God to man in the gift of
His Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ, for the
redemption of the world, it would not be out
of place, but eminently fitting for us, as Christ
ian Endeavorers, to make this anniversary Of
the birth of our Lord a time for aggressive
work along the lines of total abstinence from
intoxicating beverages. We, therefore, urge
all of our C.. E. members to use every hon
orable means to discourage the use of liquor
in the home or at the public house and es-
pecially both by word and deed to endeavor
to stamp out the treating curse, which has
been, and is, the open gateway of sorrow and
destruction to many of the young men of our
land. Let Us earnestly beseech all with whom
we come in contact to Touch not, taste not,
handle not the accused stuff, ''for at the last
it biteth like serpent and stingeth like an
adder" bringing misery, poverty, and de-
struction to all who "tarry at the cup"
Hoping, then, Endeavorers, that this will be
received in the same kindly spirit in which it
is sent, and that by awakening sleeping CON
sciences it may accomplish its object,

The War in Africa.

The British war in the southern part of
Africa is assuming very serious proportions.
The Beers have defeated four British armies
in successon-u White, Gatacre, Methuen
and Butler. The latter, with $4,000 men, met
a severe check on Friday of last week, losing
over one thousand men in killed, wounded
and missing, besides eleven guns and many
horses. Not only have the Beers been uni
formly successful, but Abyssinia is likely to
join the Transvaal and the Orange Free State
in opposition to British aggression.
The British have lost about eight thousand
men in the first month of the war, and the
British government has begun to realize that
it has a war on hand the most serious for
many years. All Europe, it may be said, is
sympathizing with the Beers, and it is further
said that the Beers are obtaining outside as
sistance of men and money.
