The Theatre Francais, at Paris,
which was burned the other day, was
in reality a national institution of
France, with centuries of venerated
traditions clustered around it It's

great company OF players attached to

sd the earnest efforts of both influen-
tial public officials and liberal private

three generations had been the inspir-
alton of dramatic art in the worlds

The rapid growth of cities is one of
the most serious problems the sociolo-
yist has to face, thinks the Christian
Register. Late in the history of the
world has come the hope of doing good
to people by simply awakening their
perceptions to duty, rendering them
q little less numb and Indifferent
to the pleasures of the eye, the new
conceptions that come with this wild
ening of the realm of soul, this open
ing of the closed shell of the brain
and heart to vision, to fancy, to ad-
miration and love. How sad the pic
ture of an ever-increasing concentra-
ton and crowding OF human beings
in towns, dwarfed and stunted more
in mind and body, accentuating the
coarse, callous, Indifferent urban type
of unfortunates and criminals, in
creasing and multiplying to fill our
almshouses, prisons, and idiot asy-
lums

Natal n Healthy Country.

While Natal is considered healthy
country, it experiences considerable
changes in it's climate, which is not
mike, in general conditions, the eli
mate of Italy, especially that of the
northern part.
Winter aud summer are the only
iwo seasons which are known to
Natal, the summer beginning in Oc-
;ober and ending in March, when the
winter season begins. As usual, in
tropical and sub-tropical countries.
he summer is the rainy season, and
in some parts, Durham, for instance,
the rainfall is about forty inches, the
average number of days on which rain
falls being 1875.
During December and January the
heat on tine coast is intense. Inland,
and in the higher regions, the fire.
1uent thunder storms afford relief to
greet extent, Severe hail storms
are also common and invariably do u
great deal of damage. But of all un-
pleasant things the hot, withering
winds which for days at time blow
from the north are the most disagree
able. Almost without fail they end in
thunder storm. With all these draw
backs, however, the country is
healthy. This is shown by the fact
that last years death rate i'll Durham
was very low one, considerably less
than two per cent.

Utilizing the wind as stump
puller is an Oregon innovation. L
was the idea of the farmer at the
state penitentiary, whose task was tt
clear the fir timber from a sixteen
acre tract. He was given the ntel
in which to clear six acres, but will
che aid of the wind he cl cared the
whole tract in six weeks, although th.
timber was of dense growth. the fri
measuring from one foot to four il
diameter. The winds in that quartz
blow strong from the south in the win
ter. The farmer put his men at worl
On the north side of the ir-trees, anc
then cut the surface-roots of the tree,
that were to be felled. These prepa
rations were made during the first day.
ana then the men went home ant
slept while the wind did the rest
During the night strong south WING
blew the trees down, and they in fall
ing across the logs pulled-up the tap
roots. The next day the men sawed
up the fallen trees. burned the brush,
and laid their logs for another lot ol
trees. They proceeded in this way
until the whole grove had disappeared.

Eskimo Mission at poin. \

AHo loukn anu picturesque
school and church at Point BA.
Alaska, has unusual interest from
fact that it stands on the most north
ern portion of land on the American
continent. and marks the end of
civilization in the Arctic region. The
site was selected by the United States
Bureau OF Education for school, the
funds for the establishment of which
were contributed by Mrs. Elliott
F. Shepard, of New York City, who
founded similar missions at Sitka and
other points in the Territory. This
station, next to Uppernavik, Green
land, is the most northern mission in
the world. tits securely built of huge
logs, having double walls to secure
against the intense Arctic cold.

So much has been done in recent
years to promote the convenience OF
all classes of riders nd'drivers that il
is pleasure to read decision which
asserts, negatively, at least the rela.
tive Importance and rights of the man
who walks. Bicycle-paths have been
built for the bicyclist, speedways for
the drivers, bridle-p paths for riders,
and trolley-cars roam almost at will
though the cities and over some of the
fairest stretches of country roads.
Meantime the man on foot has been
finding himselfmore and more crowded
in the city; and in the country he has
continued to stub his way through
gravel, asking and getting no special
privileges. Now comes a bicyclist,
in the person of Syracuse girl, and
asks the courts to declare that the city
must give the bicyclist better side
walk than it gives the pedestrian.
She claimed that depression in a
sidewalk in Syracuse caused her to
fall from her wheel. She sued and
got verdict for $500. The trial court
charged that the city was bound to
furnish "a reasonably safe sidewalk
for the purposes intended, that is.
bicycle-riding." The appellate divi-
sion of the supreme court has set
aside this judgment on the ground
that the city was bound merely to pro.
vide for the bicyclist "a walk reason
ably safe" for nedestrian

The price of $91, 900 paid for Fly
ing Fox at public sale of the Duke
of Westminster racehorses in Eng
land is said to be unexampled in the
history of the turf. Such price a.
time when the bicycle and automo
bile have reduced the usefulness Of
the horse and even suggested its elm
ination, is suggestive OF the enhanced
luxury of fine breeds. That may ex
plain the high price OF Flying Fox,
whose racing days cannot last much
longer. AS winner of the De by and
st. Leger he had the highest honors
Of the turf, but even among Derby
winners he was almost peerless. Still,
in this case the price was paid fo,
peligree more than speed.

The Philadelphia Record alludine
to the great destructive forest fires ir
the state Of Washington, says: "Tha'
such preventable destruction should
go on from year to year, so that in the
dry season the smoke from the burn
ing wood darkens the sky along the
whole Oregon and Washington coast,
without energetic effort on the part OF
the state and federal government to
stop it, furnishes sad proof of i'm.
providence"
