rsn Queer Old world.

Thh Queer Old world.
II is queer how things go by contraries
'Tis always TOO cold or too hot.
And the prizes We miss. you know. al
ways appear
To be better than those that we've
got:
II is always too wet. or too dusty and
dry.
And the land is too rough or too nat.
There's nothing that's perfec; beneath
the blue sky.
But
It's a pretty good world for all that.
Some people are born to dig in the soil.
And sweat for the bread that they
eat
While some never learn the hard
meaning OF toll.
And live or the things tha, are
sweet:
A few are too rich and a lot are too
poor.
And some are too lean or too fat
All, the harships are many that men
must endure.
But
It's pretty good world for all that
The man who must think envies them
that must be
Ever pounding and digging for men.
And the man with the pick would be
happy II he
Might play with the brush or the
pen!
All things 90 by contraries here upon
earth
Life is empty and sterile and fat:
Man begins TO complain on the day Of
his birth.
But
It's pretty good world for all that

The London Daily News calls atten-
ton to an amusing instance Of Russian
censorship. Christmas eve the Daily
News published an editorial dealing
fiatteringly with the peace proposal of
the Car. When the issue reached Rus
sia the whole article. with the excep-
ton of the first few lines, was blacked
out. which seems to prove that the
censor holds views widely different
from those of the Gar. -.

A NEW EXPERIENCE.
over the Actions OF the
Trees and Houses.

She 10 only a little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under a dozen
years in age and until a short time ago had
passed all Of her life on a rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew Of anything outside Of that plantation
would not make the beginning OF primer.
She was being educated for a house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along in the season, for some good rea.
son, II became necessary for the family to
move into a city. The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates.
So II was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in a state Of suppressed ex.
: element. She sat beside Mise Amy" as
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took in all that passed without com.
ment
When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat gin
gerly on the cushions, looked out Of the w.n-
dow and generally seemed uncertain con-
corning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her aud
her eyes filled, her lip quivered and she
smiled audiby.

End of the Century,

The opening of the year 1899 causes a re-
currence of the dispute as to whether the
nineteenth century ends with this year or
with 1900. This controversy has ragged at
times with more or less vigor but the drift
at present seems to be that the century
does not end for two years namely. with
the last day OF the year 1900. This propo-
sition is based upon the assumption that
the Christian era began with the birth Of
Christ The first year after Christ's birth.
according TO this reckoning, was the year
1, A. d. A century was not completed until
one hundred years had passed, or until the
end OF the hundredth year, or 100 4. D.
Consequently each successive century
closed with the end of the hundredth wear.
or 300. 800. 1900. 1900. 1900 etc. There
fore, while there may be some disposition
to welcome the twentieth century year
hence the mathematical calculation will
not be satisfied on this point until a year
later, or 1901.
A certain peculiar sentiment attaches to
the passing of one and the birth of a new

1t was denounced as THE Billion Dollar
Congress" The people Were asked to be-
lieve that their representatives had thrown
economy and prudence to the winds and
entered upon a veritable debauch. very
apt reply, that this was now "A Billion
Dollar Country" failed to meet the issue,
and this charge of extravaganza entered
largely into the election of a democratic
majority to the next House. And yet the
new Congress proved to be a billion dollar
Congress Democrats as we'll republi-
cans were brought to realize that the coun-
try had grown to be billion dollar coun-
try.
The new cry is imperialism" The word
has a large, round ring to it, and much is
expected of ii. There are thrown upon the
canvas pictures of armed and tramping ie-
gions with banners; booted and spurred
commanders riding rough-shod over all civil
regulations corruption honey-combing
every department of the government; a
complete surrender to all that is sordid and
displayfui and demoralizing. Will the new
cry work even for a season? Will orators
with a srnattering of badly arranged his
torfcal data be able to lash public sentiment
into alarm this subject? Is Mr.. Carne-
gle, who knew well the hollowness of the
old cry about "Robber Barons," to help
spread this equally hollow and misleading
cry about Imperialism"
