THE NEGRO AND HUMANITY.

How much the elevation, the highest
possible effectiveness, of the Negro
will affect white endeavor and the
general march of civilization is a point
that is steadily enforced at the meet
ings.
Yesterday Prof. Dubois of Atlanta,
emphasized the ignobIe fact that no
where in the world nowadays has the
black boy the chance to make the hest
of himself This, 1t was patent, was
not simply sn injustice and drawback
to the black, it hindered general hu
man evolution.
Mis-. Cooper, Of Washington, in her
pathetic paper on the Negro conditions
in America that Calls itself Christian
and democratic, had already shown
that the Negro as the most stable eIe
meat IN Trans atlantic energy and
labor; rightly treated and honored he
would be a splendid force in American
civilization.
Mr. Meyer spoke OF the striking Ne
gro progress in the universities, side by
side with the children of nineteen CEN
turies of civilization Mr.. Barnett said
that ,hey (the Negroes) were not fight

spirit was the broad spirit OF humanity;

world Though the ages wac there with
them as inspiration.

Why the British official Is sometimes 'ta

Mr. QuinIan and others spoke strongly
and earnestly On the attitude of the
Colonial Office to the Queens West
Indian subjects. How prompt English
funds for West Indian hurricane victims
were not given to the sufferers in st.

one salient point.

sation and made the young painter IA

wealthy patron and a start on the
road which brought Michael Lieb to the
rich and celebrated Count Mihaly de
Munkacsy, chevalier of the Legion of
Honor and Knight of the Austrian Or
der of the Iron Cross.
Munkacsy is said to have received
more than S1,000,000 for his work. His
Christ Before Pilate was purchased by
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia,
who still owns 1t, for 100000. Other
prominent paintings of his in this coun-
try are The Last Day of Man Con-
demned to Death and Milton Debating
Paradise Lost. His mind gave way as
he was putting the finishing touches
on his last great work in the Christ
series, Ecce Homo. In 1896, the mil
lennial year of Hungary, Munkacsy
left Paris, where he had lived for
many years, and returned to his native
land. In the autumn of that year he
was stricken with a spinal paralysis
and had done no work since. He sooR
afterward became demented and was
sent to the asylum at Bonn.

Mihaly Munkacsy, who died May in

The famous painters real name was

town of Munkacs, Hungary, fifty-four
years ago. Early in life he became
apprenticed as carpenters boy. He
showed taste for poetry and in lei

talent developed wonderfully and he
managed to get a studio in Dusseldorf.
In 1869 Mr.. and Mrs. Willstack, of

QUAIL-HUNTING IN EGYPT.
Half Million Year Ensnared by
Natives.

Half a Million n Year Ensnared by
Natives.
Much has been said lately Of the cap
ture Of quail in Egypt, touching the
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French terri
tory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt, but they do
by the millions. ,. ..... .,........
The passage Of bands of quail over
the coast Of the delta of the Nile, from
Port Said to Alexandria, begins in Sep
tember and lasts month and half,
the birds arriving in little groups and
alighting on the dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means
of nets of five meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened to
poles, in the fashion Of curtains glid-
ing on their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first
near the side of the sea is Of meshes
very large and loose, but on the back
is another net where the bird will real
ly come and perch itself in the folds
formed by this second net of small
meshes. There Is another method Of
capture which Is more picturesque.
Rows Of dried branches are placed on
the shore. At the foot of each branch
is disposed tuft of fresh herbs, in
the middle of which is arranged an
opening which ends in snare. The
quail, tired by its Journey, takes refuge
in the branch, without figuring to itself
that 1t is going to put itself into a trap
where a native will surprise 1t and kill
1t. With these perfected means of de-
structlon, 1t is not astonishing that each
year more than half million of these
poor little birds are taken.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

Dr.. Miles Nerv1ne.

LaGrippe is fatal disease. 1t has
taken front rank before the dreaded
small pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria,
etc, in that its fatalities outnumber
those Of all other forms of disease.
During the seasons when the grip is
prevalent, every man, woman and
child is exposed to its awful ravages.
The atmosphere is everywhere thor
oughly impregnated with the deadly
germs. 1t is contagious as well as
infectious, and may be contracted by
one person from another or taken
into the system in myriads of mi
crobes through inhalation. 1t strikes
straight to the very foundation upon
which life exists-the nerveS-and
tears asunder the vital framework
in remarkably short time.
To ward off attacks of LaGrippe,
