BEAUTlFUL phRiS.

Paris, as seen through the apprc-
ciative eyes OF Prof. Maria Sanford
is full Of interest and beauty. Her
illustrated lecture at the Methodist
church last Friday evening, was .
treat to those who were fortunate
enough to be present. AS the lee
turer appeared upon the Invitation
and under the auspices OF the north
side teachers association, a large
representation of that body was in
the audience, and President Jones
manipulated the stegeopticon like
an old hand at the business.
The views exhibited took in a
wide range. Of subjects, beginning
with some Of the more famous streets
and public squares of Paris, after
wards showing one or two maps or
birdseye views to convey a proper
understanding Of the topography Of
the city, and finally giving interior
and exterior views of the more not
ed palaces. cathedrals, and public
buildings Of the great city. hides
cribing the Louvre. a number of
the famous paintings in that gal
lery were thrown upon the canvas.
Miss Sanford cleverly used these
views to enforce upon the audience
the value of the beautiful in our
buildings and homes. She said !
would be better if the American
people Would not strive so much to
enrich their pocket books as to en-
rich their lives, and she thought
that encouraging advancement had
been made in the right direction in
recent years, as instanced by such
beautiful buildings as the National
library at Washington, and the Bos-
ton public library. Miss Sanford
made an earnest plea to the teach
ers to do missionary work in having
trees planted about our school
houses.

Talking Of elephant fables. the ami

elephants hide runs from half an inch
to two inches deep. Now, imagine q
pin going through that thickness on On

rats thrive. convinces one Of this fact.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-11-14

A mouse will make an entire herd
noisy with fright, and rat will put
them in condition Of desperate fear.
An elephant may defend itself against
q lion. tiger or any other natural enc
my, but the Insignificant size Of q
mouse battles his conception Of often
sive or defensive warfare. The mouse
is too quick to be crushed underfoot
or to be caught by his trunk, and it
can scamper over his rough hide with
impunity. The elephant realizes his
helplessness against such diminutive
foe and learns to fear it as he fears no
other animal. Buffalo Express.

HAS RUSSIA FOOLED EN-.

Russia, who took the initiative in
suggesting that the foreign troops be
withdrawn from Chinese territory, has,
while the resulting pourparlers between
the powers were progressing, been
steadily pouring her troops into Man
churia, and pushing back the Chinese
forces, while her army, not content
with ordinary warfare, have burned
towns, pillaged, murdered and slaugh-
tered men, women and children indis-
criminately, while INDUCING freely in
other and unnamable excuses. Now
comes the more than interesting report
from Berlin and other European CEN
tiers that the government of the Gar
has or is about to formally annex
Manchuria to the Russian Empire, and
this is coupled with the intimation that
no one will care to protest
If this report be true, and the prob
ability Of such design and intention
on the part of Russia was pointed out
in these columns weeks ago. it will
probably mean the beginning of the
end for China. Japan will demand ter
ritorial compensation. and England and
France likewise. while Germany. Which
