Rough on the General.

It was in the month of June and a company of the National Guard. of which Hyacinthe was a sergeant. Eas engaging a body of insurgents behind barricade at the other end of a .hort street. One of the insurgents in 3artieular, from a corner of the barri- .ade, was making remarkably effective practice on the assailants. At that mo- nept up cane a general. We must get him to expose himself" said the general. One of you must chamber up in top of the barricade; then, when our friend at the other end of the street lhows himself to take aim, two or .hree of you fetch him down. Up with rou, sergeant!" Beg your pardon. gen lra1, but, perhaps, you see, an insig- iificant non-commissioned officer like myself may have no attraction for lim But a handsome, distinguished nan like you, in that stylish and be- ,oming uniform-he'd be more than mortal if he could resist the tempta- ion!

The Trekking Wagon.

The South African wagon is a long, heavy cart mounted on four wheels. as rule, with a sort of canvas tent over the back half leaving the front clear to carry the miscellaneous furniture of it's owner, drawn by sixteen, eighteen or twenty oxen, curiously fieree-Iook- ing with their immense spread of horn sometimes as much as eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less than six. but in reality as patient and hard-working beasts as one could wish to find. Their mode of progression is certainly slow. but there Is strangeness and a fas- cination about 1t which may draw men to it almost as the Alps draw their devo,ees. In front there marches the "Voorlooper," generally a small boy leading the two foremost oxen by rein or rope passed through their nos trils. The driver walks alongside with the long and terrible whip he uses so unsparingly, or else sits on the front of the wagon and gets off occasionally to lash up the whole team with unfaf- ing impartiality. The travelling is all done at night, starting a little before sunset and marching until perhaps n or F o'clock; then there is a halt till little before the first signs of dawn. when they go on again till the sun be- gins to get hot overhead, md then they lie for the day.-Gentlemans MaSa- zine.

DESTINY OF THE NEoRo.
Booker T. Washington Tells His rde'

Booker T. Washington Tells His Tdes
 Of It.
 Booker T. Washington, principal oi the Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and h. dustrial institute, addressed the League for Political Education recently on the subject of Race Problems" says the New York Times. He said that the so- lution of the race problem might be summed up in the statement that in proportion as the negroes were i'm proved along educational, industrial and moral lines in that same propor- tion would the evils affecting the race be eliminated.
 You cannot, however" said the speaker, bring about these necessary reforms in a day or by any short cut. It is a matter of time and patience. Bring proper influence to bear upon the negro, make his environments con genial and uplifting, work on him not so much directly as unconsciously, and the matter will in time solve itself. For, let me say that we are not going to stay here in order to help you, our government and our country"
 The speaker then referred to the movement some years ago which sought to solve the race problem by transporting negroes to Liberia But that won't solve it, the speaker add ed. Those people who thought that sending 500 black men to Liberia would be the beginning Of a satisfac- 0odfnor oF ba foI. got that on the very morning that those negroes were transported 600 or more black babies were born. Nor will the problem be solved by putting the blacks in any territory in the west. For first, you would have to put up a wall about the territory to keep the negroes in, and then you would have to put up another wall to keep the white men out. No, there is a better and higher solution of the difficulty than that. The negroes ought to be taught to do as good work as the white man in agriculture and in all industrial lines The conditions with which they are surrounded should be studied care fully. They should be taught the dig nity, the beauty and the civilizing pow CT of labor and that there is no dis grace in any kind of work. Above all, they should be educated wherever and as fully as it is possible, and then their ignorance would not be made pretext for keeping them down.
 Let me remind you that there are nearly 10.0O0,O00 of us, and that wher- ever our life touches yours we either help or hurt you There can be no separation of our destinies. Let us then settle the problem in sensible and logical manner. Let us, in short, make the negro man so that he can do as much work as a white man and meet him with full confidence in q business way Make him a useful and an important member of the commun- ity in which he lives, and then, be- lieye me. he will work out his OWE /"

Tone Lightning Rods.

The reason why ships are not struck by lightning is attributed to the gen. eral use which is now made of wire rope for rigging purposes, as well as to the fact that the hulls of the ships are usually constructed of iron or steel. Thus the whole ship forms an excel lent and continuous conductor, by means of which the electricity is led away into the ocean before it has time to do any serious damage.

 A vast number of clay pipes have been found under conditions which seem to prove that they were deposited long before Raleighs birth; and q pipe of early date is so utterly unlike the modern form that these could not have been dropped by laborers of the present day At an antiquarian meet ing many years ago an old gentleman told how nis grandfather used to give him coppers for wading the Pool Dam at Newcastle-under-Ly to gather buck bane, which the veteran smok- ed to relieve asthma. That reminis- cenee carries us back a century and half. and it is probable that buckbane had been used for asthma time out of mind" If people were already fa- miliar with the practice of smoking herbs we should have an explanation of the astonishing rapidity with which they took to tobacco.
