American girl is about to make a royal
match in that city. The young woman in
the case is Miss Florence X. Jewell, daugh-
ter Of a wealthy mining engineer, and the
lucky man is Lobengu a. South African
negro chief whose father some years ago
made himself a bloody record, and who
has himself gained enough notoriety to
warrant a dime museum keepers paying
him a small salary 10 exhibit himself in
connection with a show of savages in
Earles Court. The young woman is said
to have fallen in love with the negro in
South Africa. whence she followed him to
England. She will probably not receive
many congratulations from America.

The recent seditious speech of Gen. de
Negrier and his subsequent degradation
are said to have brought out more or less
prominently the fact that the whole
French army, and specially those mem
ber5 Of it who bear commissions, is flied
with discomfort with II not actual hatred
OF the republic. This S because the repub-
hc means peace, while he officers want
war. There is nothing in peace TO crafty
their ambition; they desire turmoil, an
upheavai, fighting. Minister of War de Gal
iifet seems 10 understand the situation. He
said the other day that the present army
system could not continue much longer,
that the army must he reduced or the re-
public succumb. for the army, or its Of
ficers, would refuse TO remain much long
er idle. The present situation, it is said, is
only Indirectly connected with the Drey-
fus case.

The announcement was officially made
some days ago that the tax rate OF New
York city would be a higher for 1893 than
it was for 1893. Later he Municipal Coun-
ell passed the tax budget which showed an
increase of more than S53 10000 over that
of the year before The World says this
enormous increase in taxation is due di-
rectiy to the greed Of the bosses who rule
New York. New jobs by the thousand

ries Of city Office holders have been in
creased in one year $l2 lS2,159 It is claimed
by the World that the city viii not have

en- cents on each 800 OF property simply

rule does for a city and any city which
permits itself to fall under boss rule may
expect to suffer in the same way.

President Mckinley to the Duluth School
Children.

Cali that we have seen about us this
morning typify and illustrate the gov
ernment of the United States 1t rests
in the hearts and consciences of the
people. 1t is defended, whenever it is
assailed, by it's citizen soldiery; ard 1t
furnishes education free to all, that
the young may take upon themselves
the great trust of carrying forward
without abatement of vigor this fabric
of government.
"No picture more beautiful was ever
presented to human vision than the
one we see before us today. The
schools of our country lie at the foun
dation of our institutions; they are the
citadel of our power. Every boy and
every girl in the United States can have
an education without money and with
out price. They can have an education
that equips them for every duty of life;
and 1 want to tell you, young people,
while you have an opportunity, draw
deeply from this fountain of learning,
for when you get older there is less time
for the pursuit of knowledge. And
see you are filling your little hearts brim
full of patriotism, as you hold the flag
of your country in your hands
''Side by side with education must be
character. Do not forget that. There
is nothing in this world which lasts so
long or wears so well as good character,
and it is something everybody can have.
1t is just as easy to get into the habit of
doing good as it is to get into the habit
of doing evil. With education and integ
rity every avenue of honor, every door
of usefulness, every pathway of fame
and favor, are open to to all of you.
II thank you more than / can find
words to express for this warm, gener-
Gus, heartful welcome, not to me, not
to the Chief Executive of the nation,
but to the nation itself, as embodying
your love, your faith and purpose"

A puny child is always an anxiety to the

why the little one should be weak when it

not matter how much food the child takes

meDt from it. No benefit can be derived
from just eating. That is the condition Of
many sickly child. The stomach and or
gans of digestion and nutrition are not do
ing their work and the body is really starv
ing. 1t Is little use to give fish foods, like
cod liver oil or emulsions, In such case be-

may tighten the stOmach's labor but they
don't strengthen it. Strength is what the

principles which should be thoroughly
impressed upon the mind of every child
If we can decrease the per cent. of alb
sence and increase the enthusiasm, these
are objects worthy of consideration.
There are many topics that may be
discussed to advantage in a mothers
club. Such topics as food, proper cloth
ing, amusement, proper reading, physi-
cal and mental growth, government,
temperaments, power of Imagination,
and signs of fatigue both mental and
physical. are subjects every mother and
teacher should understand.
There are many excellent books to be
had on each of these subjects. Some
which are especially recommended for
use in mothers meetings are, Teach
ing Truth, Almost Man" and Child
Confidence Rewarded" by Mary Wood
Allen, MD. also, Margaret w. Morley's
''The Song of Life" which was one of
the books in the Bay View Reading
Circle work two years ago.
We had outlines for the study of
temperaments, which were great aid
to teachers, anyway. have few of
them here to-day, if anyone cares to see
them. They were prepared by Mr..
Wright and presume he would prepare
some for anyone who wishes them.
1t is often question as to what Is to
be done with the little ones while the
mothers are attending these meetings.
They ought not to be allowed to do as
they like at home, nor do you care to
have them on the streets. What help
it would be if we were enabled to do as
one club did of which l read. They had
a separate room where the older girls
cared for and amused the little ones
while the mothers enjoyed the meetings.
This not only cared for the little folks
but kept the older ones busy as well.
We all know the inadvisability of taking
children, especially after they are two
years old, to places where they are to
be the subject of conversation, as they
understand the English language sutfici-
emily we'll to know when it is their faults
or virtues that are being discussed. And
I think we all know what influence it
has on most children to have their good
or bad qualities exposed.
Mrs Hughes says, Zone of the highest
aims of mothers clubs should be to
idealize the office of motherhood, so
that all may look beyond the narrow
limits of everyday duty and WEAKNESS
and, in the view from the hill top, find
the inter-relation of the light and
shadow of daily living"
