''noyades" alone One of the most tragic pict-
ures Of the time is Of an orphan girl only four
years old being tried by court martial, while
blood besmeared ruffians stood around impa-
uent for the farcical proceedings to come to an
death by bullet and bayonet. 1t will be seen
that the republican forces never dreamed Of con-
fning their operations to purely military
fields. Three-qUarters of the deadly work went
on in the foul courtrooms and fouler prisons, and
on top Of the deviIish crueties of the fights in
the woods and in the streets there went on the
fairly demoniacaI orgies of Carrier, Tureau,
Francastel, Robin, Lamberty. Goullin and all the
other ingenious scoundrels who seemed bent on
turning the fair provinces of France into lurid
hells. Hundreds of innocent men, women and
children died from disease and starvation in the
terrible prisons, but greater hundreds were
brought out TO be shot, 70 be sabred, and. worst
Of ali, perhaps, to be drowned. Mr. JephsOn has
some thrilling passages the 'noyades," as
witness the following:
Humanity itself is stained by such an appal-
ling atrocity. Eight hundred men and women,

ARE YOU GOING TO PARIsq

Margaret e. Caldwell In the April 81.
Nicholas gives some a0gnd advice TO
girls intending to visit Paris during the
Exposition. But Il is good enough for
boys. too and can be applied profita-
bly, at other times than when taking In
the sights OF a big show The advice
first relates TO reading. To quote;
Read the story books OF travel But
read them inteIlgently When you see
In one something about poor Marie
Louise, whose history was one Of lite's
riddles" n you do not know why her
history was one Of life's riddles look
IL uo Find out an that you can about
her strange career When you read
something about Marie Antolnette'
Swiss Cottage" and the trouble that
II caused DO YOU not feel interested 10
know what the trouble was, and why a
Swiss cottage caused IL? Then, about
Marie Autoinette herself. Are you
familiar enough with her story TO make
your visit to the Tulleries double
pleasure because you can, IN fancy,
peopie II. as YOU walk, with the gay
throng who once made history there?
Unless you know the story o. the people
who made the history OF these places
YOU are seeing only wood and stone,
you are missing the best-the vital
breathing part, the lfe.'
The author further suggests that the
power Of observation be cultivated
diligently. Many persons have visited
exhibitions. but when asked after
wards for an intelligent account OF
what they saw, they would be unable
TO give Il. They know that they have
had a lovely time" and that they were
"dreadfully tired" but beyond that
they were not able to explain. The re-
marks on this point Of the writer
quoted are exceedingly sensible;
Make up your mind that you VIII

TO SEARCH FOR ANDREE.

There Is going 20 be another enort
made TO discover some clue TO the rate
OF Andree. the Swedish explorer a
Swedish Russian expedition viii leave
ON the ist Of June for spltzbergen' In
order 10 release the party now engaged
in measuring an arc Of the meridian IN
that latitude. And the plan Is for this
expedition 10 make q detour and search
carefully the entire nelghborhood Of ST.
Charles Land.
AS viii ba remembered a buoy was
picked up last year on the north coast
OF ST. Charles Land, and this proved
on examination to be the very buoy
which the explorers were TO drop as
they passed the North Pole, But as no
message was enclosed IN the buoy. the
conclusion was drawn that 1t had been
lost In the general wreckage Of the
balloon. and that probably other rem-
nants may be found where this buoy
was picked up. II the expedition Is sue
cessful, some clue may be found TO the
fate Of the unfortunate explorers.

THE MACEDoNIANs,

Among the many rumors Of war now
circulating. is that Of probable revolt
IN Macedonia. This rumor comes as
regularly as the birds In spring.
A correspondent Of the Boston Tran
script evidently OF Russian nationality
paws some attention TO this subject and
asserts that Macedonia IS always ready
for revolt. whenever IL shall appear TO
the patriots that the time has come.
But they will not undertake the yen-
ture alone. To do so would be suicide.
They have no military organization and
no arms except a few which they have
hidden at great risk to Themselves. But
they are confidently looking 90 Russia,
10 Bulgaria and TO England for some
signal that the hour Of liberation from
Mohammendan rule has come, ana
when they see the signal, they are
ready TO rise as a man FOR liberty or
death.
The correspondent further points out
that IL Is a mistake 70 suppose that any

are political agitators in Macedonia
but unless the discomfort existed. there
would be no field Tor such agitators

POST CHECK NOTES.

A bill has been introduced in Con-

The passage Of such law would be
a vast Improvement on the present
method Of sending money through the
mails. whether by registered letter or
by money order Il would be similar
to sending a check from bank as to
safety. and the cost would be so triiling
as to recommend It to people every

any purpose.
II may be argued that the small Zee

not bring IN sufficient revenue to pay
the expenses attending its issuance but
We believe that the system would be-
come so popular. that the business Of
sending money through the mails would
be wonderfully increased. and therefore,
would not create any deficit in the
postal department; and, after all, the
postal system has been established un-

the public ought 70 be established even
n Il costs something out OF the public
funds.
The present method Is too costly and
cumbersome TO meet the growing de-
msuds Of trade. and the requirement.
for personal interchange In monetary
transactions. It should be urged upor
