The Christian Scientists of Boston have
to the healing powers of their professions
and practices. few days ago a woman,
an adherent Of the cult. jumped from a
moving train. Her foot was caught I'M
der the wheels and crushed to a Jelly. A
bystander wished to call a surgeon. She
objected, and demanded to be taken to her
Christian Science leader, Mrs. Goodall.
When the latter had seen the hurt she
said IL was case for "a surgeon; that
Christian Science teachers are not pre-
pared TO treat surgical cases." 1t would
seem, however that 1t should be no hard
er to cure crushed foot by Christian
Science than to cure an acute case of diph-
theria.

There is talk of the erection in New
Jersey Of a great match factory, to rival
the match trust. This brings to mind the
incident. now some months old, of the
great antitrust match factory" that was
Gould boys, and which, after 1t had been
sold to the trust at several hundred per
cent. profit on the investment, turned ont
to be gigantic gold brick. The New Jer-
sey concern is probably not anything Of
the sort, but whenever antitrust match
factories are mentioned one cannot help
remembering how young Gould tackled the
octopus and won a fall out Of 1t.

of that city as saying that he went to
the presidents or cashiers Of twenty
banks and trust companies to get some
one of them to take charge of trust fund

and each one of them refused to accept
it unless all mention of the Beers or the

Finally he had to deposit the fund in his
own name as treasurer. The banks said
that if it were known in London that any
bank was carrying fund for the Beers
that banks interests in London would suf-

Should the Chicago City Council pass
the proposed ordinance Offering a bounty
for dead robbers, the business of man
slaughter might experience considerable
boom in the Windy City. Immunity from
punishment and bonus of $500 per cada-

The press agents for Liberia. whose job
seems to be to work up sentiment in
this country favorable to the establish
ment by the United States of a protecto-
rate over the little African republic, are
now getting printed some stories to the
effect that Germany as well as France
is making encroachments upon Liberian
territory, and that If they should be not
restrained the republic will shortly disap-
pear. Some three or four years ago, it
seems, German citizen residing in Nom
rovia was summoned to court. He refused
to go, and was carried by force. He COM
planned to the Berlin government, which
has since demanded that he be paid a
large sum as an indemnity. Should the de-
mand not be complied with it is intimat-
ed that the Liberian government will be

CURRENT COMMENT.

The bubonic plague has appeared in a
dozen new places, within the field of our
commerce, during the past few weeks.
The Birmingham Age-Herald discussing
the probability of it's reaching our shores,
says; THE chief danger seems to be over
confidence, on account of the comparative
cleanliness of the American people, quite
forgetting the fact that there are sections
in all American cities that are no more
clearly in any respect than the average
condition of an Oriental city Ii should
be remembered, too, in this section of the
couatry that there are crowded negro
quarters in every town, which are very
susceptible TO the disease. once lodged in
any of them. the germs would be scat
tered far and near, and their extinction
would be exceedingly difficult. Great Wig
ilancc is needed in all ports"
The Macon Telegraph Dem) says:
Senator Pettigrew is unluckyl in his
name, which bids fair to become an ad-
diuon to our stock of slang if those who
object to his political views continue their
present irrevereut handling of it. Out in
the Dakotas ii is already quite the thing
to say: He is the biggest pettigrew / ever
laid eyes on "a very pettigrew perform
ance;' don't pettigrew me- please he
looks very pettigrew,' etc. People are not
apt to do this sort of thing unless they
dislike a mans views very much indeed,
and Senator Pettigrow may therefore rest
assured that his attitude toward the Phil
ippine question is the reverse of popular
in the Northwest"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
THE Industrial Commission. on Saturday,
heard testimony of Connecticut white
man who is farming with negro assist
ants in Georgia. He said his negro la
borers were as cheap and efficient as, and
more faithful than the same class of white
labor in Connecticut that the negroes
made good farm hands, but needed intel
ligence. thrift and energy to make them
successful farmers on their own account.
AS The same thing can be said of many.
perhaps the majority, of white farmers at
the North the future of the negro
cultiyator Of the soil does not seem to be
utterly hopeless"

Childhood a self-destroying love, deser-
ton, motherhood, death, society's abhor-
renee and the church woman's distrust,
jealousy and the desire for vengeance,
suicide that seems SO like murder that
prison comes at 1ast-these are the steps
in this story. 1t cannot be called new
story, nor does there appear any very
definite suggestion of a solution for the
social question which this blank verse
tragedy touches. 1t is a cry, almost of

Life doth not compensate It's loss and

It's blessings few; it's crosses many,

A broken lily, dropping on the stem;

Farewell, my graves; shadow and sun.

History of Canada" ]: M. McIlwraith.
Appleton & Co., New York.
This brief history of Canada is written
for young readers, but will be found in
structiye for old ones as well. Canada is
an interesting country, and few histories
have been written about it as complete
as is the one from the pen of Mr.. Nc
Ilwraith The volume is In four parts;
the first is ITO the End Of the Sixteenth
Century;" the second, .To the End of the
Seventeenth Century" this third, ITO the
End Of the Eighteenth Century" and the
fourth, ITO the End Of the Nineteenth
Century" Thus it includes the history
Of Canada from the earliest days down to
1899. The chapters on The Northwest
and British Columbia" are timely, and
of special local interest. While the au-
thor does not go much into details, he does
not neglect essentials. The Riel rebellion
Of 1885 is treated extensively, and also the
Canadian Pacific railway and the Hudson
Bay company. In fact, 1t is a well writ
ten history, and one that should be found
on every book shelf.
