College-Bred Negroes.

Atlanta University has commenced
an investigation into the careers OF
college-bred negroes. This has been
suggested in part by the speculation
extant in regard to what the young
negroes who have received a college
education do for living, and how
successful they are, and will answer
the queries as to the numbers Of ne
groes who have been given the higher
training. DR.. w. E. B. Dubois pro-
fessor Of Economics in Atlanta Uni
versity, is in charge Of the work, and
will make his complete report in the
annual negro conference in May 1900.
His inquiries, SO far, indicate between
1,200 and 1,500 living negro college
graduates. To these in all cases where
actresses could be obtained, he has sent
carefully prepared schedules of ques-
tions, covering family life, scholastic
life, occupation since graduation, lit
erary efforts, official positions, and
financial success. The answers are
coming in rapidly, and indicate full
and valuable returns.-Journal Of Ed

a Rsm.rk.bl. Discover.

A remarkable discovery has been
made by DR.. Peters, who has recently
been excavating at Nippur, an ancient
city of Babylonia. While the workmen
were clearing away the debris from
the walls of the temple Bel they dis
covered in hole which had been clos
ed up with sundried bricks a large
goose egg on a mat of reeds. Why
the egg was placed there is a mystery,
as it has no connection with any
known Babylonian custom. Dr. Pet
ers thinks that it may be looked upon
as joke on the part of one or more
of the ancient workmen, the object
OF which will probably never be known.
The temple was built at a very re-
mote time, probably in the reign OF
Akus-gal (B. C. 22OO). or even earlier
so that the egg is over 1000 years old.

Story of q Frenc.lman Who Had Lost

Louis Blanc, the eloquent French
man, lost his voice. not as Falstaff did
with halloing and singing Of an

aid of the welcome the audience gave
him, which was so hearty as to cast
out all fear Mr.. John Bigelow tells

Blanc. After the fall of the govern

English language. he was invited to
deliver lecture in English. On the
appointed day, he dined with Hep
worth Dixon. then editor Of the Lon
don Athenaeum. The prospect OF
meeting a distinguished London audi
ence, and attempting to talk to them
in what was to him foreign tongue,
made him so nervous that during the
dinner he suddenly lost his voice, and
could speak only in a whisper He was
in despair. The audience would be
made up Of the most distinguished in
London society. There seemed to be
but one course to pursue-to tell the
truth and dismiss them. 1t was de-
cided that he should show himself on
the stage and let the audience see, il
they could not hear. that he was un-
able to speak audibly. Dixon went
with him and made Blanc's excuses.
When he had done, Blanc stepped for
ward to verify his friends statement.
Dixon's remarks had been received
with sympathetic applause, but when
Blanc appeared the applause was deaf

without the least Inconvenience. The
applause with which he was received
had expelled the nervousness which
alone was responsible for his vocal
feebleness.-Youth's Companion.

were prepared to put forth into the
cause the whole soul of their country
and when they began none knew bet

win all or lose all. They made gal

experiences in recent years that have
caused him more sleepless nights and

it is all over now. The Boer cause is
ground to dust and it is probable that
it will never rise again, during this
