Concerning the poorer students of
Russia the Saturday Review says:
Their mendacity is passive rather than
active. Unlike the mendicant friars.
they never ask, but they know much
will be given them. They know, too
strange fact in strange country-that
the university is open to all, irrespec-
tive of means or position. Thus the
university becomes the poor Russians
golden opportunity, for here, as else
where, there are many posts, for which
graduates alone arc eligible. A stroll
through the streets of Moscow during
term time furnishes abundant evidence
Of the popularity OF the university. The
uncompromising military blue and
green uniform which stamps the stu
dent, and which he can never, save
under dire penalties, exchange for
plain clothes. is to be met. with at
every turn. A few rich students are
caught sight Of driving; the many are

Dispatch: How f.r can a cat Jump
without hurting itself was partially
exemplified in Brooklyn. A pretty
white cat ran up-a tree to get away
from dog, and at last crawled out on
small branch at least sixty feet above
the ground. The branch was not much
more than a twig, and the cat could
not turn around. She sat up there on
the swaying limb and meowed. At last
the twis rrcke. and down came the
cat. She alighted IN the ground on
her feet, looked around for moment,
and then bouxded away. Which shows
that sixty-foot drop does not hurt
a Brooklyn cat, whatever it might do

AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY

derful TrAnsf ormstion.

derful TRANSIT Ormat i0n. .
From the Forum: The twentieth
century Africa promises startling con-
trasts when compared with the Africa
of the nineteenth century. With an
area four times as great as that Of the
United States, population of $50, 000,-
600, a soil and climate capable of in
finite variety of production, a rapidly
expanding commerce, and the greatest
known supplies Of ivory, gold and dia-
monds, it's development under the mod
ern methods which are now being APP
piled to it is practically assured. The
home of the Oldest civilization, it is
the last of the continents to yield to
the touch Of the newest civilization.
But yesterday enveloped in darkness
Of mystery without and ignorance
within, it is today Illuminated by the
searchlight of modern methods, and as
Its Importance and attractions are be-
ing recognized, with this recognition
must come development. With 2,000,-
900 Europeans scattered over its vast
area, acquainting themselves with its
natural conditions and requirements,
with the steamer, the railroad, the tele-
graph and the telephone carrying light
and knowledge and civilization to its
darkest corner. Africa cannot long re-
main unknown or unknowirg. 1t was
only after the xplorers-Livingston
Spoke, Stanley and others-had dis
covered, through persistent and heroic
effects, that there existed vast navig-
able water ways above the falls near
the mouths of the great streams which
flow from the interior that European
nations awoke to the physical and
commercial possibilities of Africa and
then, in a twinkling, the dark continent
was seized upon and divided up and
became, as by magic, vast European
"hinterland." Between 1884 and 1898
an area two and half times the size
Of the United States, and containing a
population Of 1O0OOO,O0O, was par

Just year ago some manufacturers
Of artistic textiles touring in Donegal

ity of this fabric Is that from its ma
ture it must be hand production. The
tufts are tied by the fingers in knots
in longitudinal warps, which are
stretched between two long parallel
beams. The carpets are made to the
size and shape of any room. The de-
sign is placed in front and the girls
from three to dozen, according to
the size Of the carpet, select the colors
indicated row by row, which are tied.

and beaten firm by small iron-toothed

and pleasure in the work, and 1t Is
such that individual skill and work
manship come largely into play. Alto.
gether, it is just such an industry as
Is suited to the rural districts Of Ire-$
land. No steam power is required and
there is therefore no handicap on the
commercial side by the absence Of COAL !.
The first years experiment with the
Irish girls has proved that they are adj
mirably adapted for the work. The
girls show a nimblcness Of fingers and
sharpness of eye for color and form
that have quite astonished their teach
ers and they take to the work with a
spirit and cheerfulness quite refresh
ing. So convinced are the promoters
of its ultimate success that they have
planned out broad scheme that will
spread the work all over the west of
Ireland and give employment to many
hundreds of girls and boys.-London
