THE NEGRO EXHIBIT AT BUFF EAIO


 Big in significance, though infinitesi- mally small In compass, the exhibit of the American negro, in liberal arts att tracts not half the attention it deserves. A little bronze sttuette of Frederick Douglass, enshrined beneath the arch Of big maroon covered horseshoe, pre- sides over the negro corner of the edu- cational booth--the statuette nanked by portraits of Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. Washington. Over the horse shoe in letters of gold run the proud words, Grand PriX, Paris, 1900." A row of neat wall cabinets, framing in photographs and gay coored charts, a long row of books by negro authors ranged on a shelf above the cabinet, a set of funny papier- mache models set ting forth the negro's rise from slav- cry in the cases beneath them a group of ponderous tonnes embodying the whole black oode-these are all that meets the eye And yet compressed into this mere nutshell is the record of all that the negro has to be proud of.
 There is something most pathetic in the sight of people as old as the pyramids narading it's first potbools be- fore the world with the pride of nurs- ling in it's first tooth; something pitt ful in the meagreness of the array of achievements of ten millions of people; something almost ludicrous in the

Both the Presbyterian assemblies

Both the Presbyterian assemblies which recently met in Edinburgh dis cussed the question of non- -churchgo- ing. Statistics show that none of the churches in Scotland are increasing in membership in the same ratio as the population, and the Church reports de- plore a great decrease in church at tendance and in the number of Sunday school teachers and scholars. Dr. HoWie, of Glasgow, the convener of the Home Mission Committee of the Unit ed Free Church. states that the esti- mated best church attendance in all denominations in Glasgow per 10000 of population is 1,711, in Dundee 1885, and in Aberdeen 1,751. Applying this to the present population, Dr. HoWie brings out in his report that there are in Glasgow and it's suburbs at this time no fewer than 462 1000 people who do not go to church; in Dundee S2,OO0, and in Aberdeen 72,OO0. Figures of the same kind are not available for Edinburgh. but the proportions would probably be not very different from those of the other large towns of Scotland.

AN 1GII4TED FIR hNCHH4iN N

M. Germain Bapst is a Frenchman who is agitated by his notion of what England may do to France some day unless France is prepared to prevent her from doing it. He argues that 1t is the urgent duty of the government to make ready against an attack from French fleet, he admits, is much weaker than the British-in spite of the supe- riority of the French ships as indi- vidual units-but he does not think that the English men-of war could do much mischief by bombardment of the naval works at Marseilles, Havre, or Dunkirk, as the land defences are too strong, but they could easily, of course, if they chose, destroy such re- sorts as Nice or Cannes. It is not like ly, says M. Bapst, that the English would attempt to land either in France or Algeria, but the South African war has proved that they could transport to and maintain in any part of the world an army of 25o,0 men, and this was threat to all French colonies. Great Britain already has 60,000 colo nial troops in the Transvaal, and this force could be augmented indefinitely, if necessary. Now parliament has passed bill creating three army corps ready for immediate authorization, and it is Frances bounden duty, says M. Bapst, to be prepared for all eventual ities. Englands weak point is her commerce, and the true French policy, he believes, is to build large numbers of swift cruisers to prey upon it. He would cease the construction of battle ships on the ground that his country men have always been worsted by the British in great naval battles.
 As it is undoubtedly true that Eng land could make France much trouble if she were disposed to perhaps M Bapst is justified in worrying and warning.
