Mr.. Major, the famous cement man,
OF New York, explains some very int
eresting facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this stand
ard article know that it is many hun
dred per cent. better than other ce-
ments for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials eyer
discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too
expensive and do not allow large
profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one
of the Elements of his cement costs
So. 20 pOnnd, and another costs 81. 65
a gallon, while large share of the
sO-called cements and liquid glue up
on the market are nothing more than
sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water
or citric acid, and, in some cases, alt
cred slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap and useless mate
rails,
Majors cement retails at fifteen
cents and twenty-five cents a bottle,
and when a dealer tries to sell q sub
stitute yOu can depend upon it thai
his only object is to make larger
profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this Is doubly true
In viewsof the fact each dealer gets
his share Of the benett-of Ms, Majors

over 5000 . month. throughout the

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITIES.

One almost forgets how long ago it is since the muZzling order was first is- sued; but shortly after the inception of that order a housemaid "attached' to a fereign legation took a pug dog, also attached" to the same legation, out for a walk. She was stopped by consta- be, who asked her why the dog was not wearing muzzle. The housemaid re- piled that the dog did not possess a muzzle, because it was diplomatic dog. The constable responded that the dog was a pug, and that he was not a fool. The constable took the name and address of the housemaid. A few days later a summons arrived at the legation. The housemaid did not present herself at the court, and the magistrate i'm posed a fine on her. At last the for eign minister went to the Marquis of Salisbury about the matter. The result was that all the officials connected with the case were reprimanded; and a mote" was addressed from Lord Salis- bury to all the legations in London, in which note Lord Salisbury said he had the honor to call attention to certain order, entitled the muzzlng order, by which 1t was enacted that all dogs, when taken into public places should wear muzzle over the head. Taking into consideration the present friendly relations existing between Her Britain mic Majestic and the other powers migh he suggest that. as favor, all dogs belonging to the different lega- tions should be rnuzzler when taken into the streets, or, if not muzzled, should be led on least?-Chambers' Journal.

AN EXPERIENCE WITH RATS.

The Travellers Sleep Was Broken, But the Landlord was Complacent. Recently I had an experience with
 rats that will not soon forget" said D. l B. Purks, of Fredericksburg, Va, at the Hotel Johnson last night.
 Tt happened in this way: I was | travelling through Alabama and landed
 in small town worn out after days | overland travel in a broken-down bug
 BY. and sought the only tavern the town
 boasted After I had been in bed about | fifteen minutes I was startled to hear
 strange and curious noises--the most
 unnatural in sound I had ever heard.
 immediately proceeded to investigate the cause of this midnight disturbance and lit the candle, the only Hluminant procurable, and, to my surprise, beheld ten of the largest rats, in my opinion,
 ever seen They ranged in size from an
 average squirrel to an ordinary dog. Ntt the least fear was manifested by
 These rats. They deliberately surveyed
 me and continued the work of eating
 my shoes. One large fellow, evidently
 master of ceremonies, was bold enough
 to attempt to bite me. This affront

 back into bed, I screamed for the land lord, who, after being awakened from
 drunken sleep. slowly shufTled up to
 this chamber of horrors dignified as a room, and contemptuousy inquired the cause of the racket. After stating the nature of the trouble, he allowed he would settle it i'll short order. In about ten minutes rats poured into the room in droves, to the number of about one hundred and fifty all sizes and condi- tions, large and small, lean and fat, all squeaking and apparently frightened. I thought something unusual must have transpired, when my suspicious were confirmed by the arrival of several fer rets, whose eyes sparkled with glee at the slaughter they proceeded to insti- tute.
 ''As soon as collected myself after the execution, I hastened out of the room and made myself as comfortable as possible in chair, waiting for day to break, so that I could shake the town Although I made my escape in carpet slippers, it was one of the hap piest incidents of my life. The land- lord evidently thought nothing of the occurrence. He said 1t happened very often, and he always kept supply of ferrets to clean the rats out when they became unmanageable and too annoy- ing to his guests. Washington Post.

southern people are doing more for
 their colleges than ever before, the mu-
 niticent sums steadily given to institu-
 tions of learning at the north from the immense accumulated wealth there, will continue to increase the already too great disparity between the endow- ments of southern and northern col leges, unless such appeals as those of Dr. Curry and the Capron Springs con- ference are heard by philanthropic peo- pie interested in the welfare of all parts of our common country. As southern colleges are not conducted on so expen- sive scale as those at the north, gifts to the former go much further than to
 the latter It is impossible, too, for stu dents to attend the better class of southern colleges at moderate ex- pense, ranging from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars. At R4anoke, which may justly claim to have ~one of the ablest faculties and largest libraries among southern col leges Gf not among universities), a student by boarding in a club may pay his expenses for year Gncluding col lege fees, board, lodging, fuel, lights and washing) for one hundred and fifty dol lars, which is simply the tuition fee in the collegiate department of number of leading northern universities Talk ing Roanoke, then simply as an exam pie, 1t may be seen that the strengthen ing of southern colleges will enable them to reach with improved facilities students of limited means as well as those in better circumstances. Money given to such institutions would yield large dividends for the public good Roanoke Collegian

ing of the fate of his advance party,
 wisely returned to the French Congo for
 relntorcements After securing the as-
 sistance he required from M de La
 mothe, Governor of the French Congo,
 he returned north, and it is he who now
 reporte great but dearly won victory
 over the conqueror of the Central Sou
 dan.
 M. Gentil is well remembered as the
 enterprislng traveller who in 1897 car- ried small steamer, the Leon Blot,
 across the Shari- Congo divide, launched 1 it in the Shari and steamed down the river into Lake Tchad, stroke of en- ] terprise, that won him much renown.
 At that time he stole march on Rabah
 and he and his steamer escaped to the
 south before that potentate got after
 him. At last, however, he has met
 Rabah at Kouna, some distance south of the lake where he found the Sultan strongly intrencl,ed, with 12, 000 men, D. | 300 rifles and three cannon. Gentil's party was only handful In comparison, but their superior skill in the use of | firearms won the day. The shells from Gentips field guns destroyed two of Ra- bahs cannon. The fight was long and hard Rabah himselfwas wounded and at laet his forces fled. He had conquer ed scores of native chiefs In his long fight for empire but his soldiers were no match for the trained sharpshooters Of of Senegal under European command.
 But Gentl's force was so badly crip- pied that he did not think it wise to venture further north. Forty-three of his men were killed and four Europeans and 106 eharpshootere were wounded. With only half of his force left for ser vice, Gentil decided to attempt nothing more than to hold his ground and at last accounts his party was in camp not far from the scene of the terrible fight. He reports that Rahah was completely demoralized by his losses which were between 2000 and 5000 killed. The gov- ernor of the French Congo has sent etrong endorsements to enable Gentil to continue his march north, and the Sultan of Bagirmi, over whom Rabah has onYs@tyrannized, has joined the cause of the whites. The prospects are that Rabah's reign of terror is about over and that Gentil will be able to car ry out his plan of marching north and joining forces with the Foureau-Lamy expedition which brought from Algeria a large supply of munitions and, in a military sense, is the strongest party | that ever crossed the Sahara.
 Rabah Is between 60 and 65 years of | age, For more than fifteen years he ! has played an important part in the | history of Central Africa. The Sun has already told all that Is known of the | conquests by which this son of slave | woman succeeded in founding in the i countries around Lake Tchad one of those powerful military empires that E appear and disappear with such rapidity in Africa.

the people, to the whole country" H' calls attention to the fact that the edu-
 cational conference at Capron Springs | which at its first meeting in July 1898 devoted the greater part of the time tc 1 the discussion of the education of ne groes, felt constrained last June "to de- clare that the education of the white race in the south was ar imperative need, and that the colleges and univer-
 sities of the south had a strong claim
 upon a generous share of that stream of
 private wealth in the United States en- ! richng and vitaliZing the higher edu-
 cation of the north and west" Dr. Cur 1 ny adds that "the welfare of the negro 1 is contingent upon the general and ! higher education of the white man; is, indeed, impossible without improved opportunities for the education of the
 whites The millions which have 1 been wisely and beneficently given, i have been devoted largely to schools and colleges in the north and west, and
 to building up schools for negroes in
 the south" Certainly pr. Curry and
 southern people generally are profound
 ly grateful for the generous aid extend
 ed to the negroes by the philanthropists
 of the north; but yet what he says of
 the importance of strengthening the col leges of the south deserve serious con-
 sideration: "Gifts made to erlbar- rassed and .nertorious institutions in the south, which have herolcally strug- gled to keep alive and to meet pressing
 wants would add immensely to the in- tellectual and industrial resources of 4I1o ,ho1D 4r;1 To small degrec to the settlement of ques- tions which now tax the capabilities of philanthropists and statesmen"
 pr. Curry emphasizes his position by showing from statistics collected by the National Bureau of Education how poorly equipped and endowed our southern colleges are when compared with educational institutions at the north. In view of all the facts adduced, his appeal ought to carry great weight, especially as it comes from one who, as general agent of the Slater fund has also shown 50 much intelligent interest in the education and elevation of the colored people.
 We have before us, as we write, the Chicago Tribune's list of benefactions IOT ItSL year. py SpulS CdItIully over the five columns of gifts and bequests, we find that of the $55,5S1, ,S17 given to institutions of learning last year, the | of the thirteen southern states received only $43S,S00, which is less l than one per cent of the total amount | It is gratifying to notice that MT. Car | negie gave more than half as much ($226, ,000) to build libraries in the south. their improved finan- cial condition, the southern states are still poor compared with the northern and eastern states. And although the !
