 Principals of Chicago's public schools are opposed to the giving of prizes and medals to pupils. They do not deny that prizes are an incentive to effort on the part of the children, but prize giving develops the immoral traits of envy and jealousy, and where the prizes are offered for competition in an essay. to be written out of the school room. there is a likelihood of assistance from older heads, and consequent deceit on the part of the children.

WOULD BECOME A SLAVE
2 Young Man Who Was willing to Seerinee His Liberty In 0sder
 W Preach.

Many men in this country have sac riiced property. happiness G.'6 even life itself in the struggle 10 make them selves or others freemeI.; but we know of but one man who, from the highest motives, STer sought to become slave.
 Abraham Bininger, Swiss hoy from Zurich, came with bis parents to this country on the same brig that brought John Wesley. Tke father and mother of the lad both died on the voyage and were buried at sea, and ne stepped alone from the Gangway on ts strange con- tiuent, where there was not a single familiar face.
 The solitude of his childhood drove him closer to the friend in whom re- ligion had early taught him to trust.
 The orphaned condition of the gen. tie boy must have appealed strongly to the sympathy of Mir. Wesley. and it was probably the great preacher him. self who took him from the ship to the Methodist orphan school in Georgia, where he was educated.
 In his youth Bininger gave proof of singularly devout and tender feeling, and this character was intensified with added years. When he had grown to manhood, he asked to be sent to tell the story of the Cross to the negroes of the island of St. Thomas, having heard of their great misery and deg radiation.
 When he arrived at the island, he learned that it was against the law for any person but a slave to preach to the slaves. It was the policy of the planters to keep the blacks in ig- norance and superstition.
 Shortly after this the governor of St. Thomas received a letter signed Abraham Bininger, in which the writer begged urgently to become slave for the rest of his life. promising to serve as slave faithfully, provided he could give his leisure time to preaching to his fellow-slaves. The governor sent the letter to the king of Denmark, who was so touched by it that he sent an edict empowering Abraham Bininger to tell the story of the Messiah when and where he chose-to black or white, bond or free.
 It is an easy, comfortable thing now to profess Christianity. There was a time when it brought persecution and contempt. The Christian then had a reward for his self-sacrifce which we have lost in our easy religious lives. Following the Divine Master in fowery paths is not final proof of Christian worth. Thomas Kempis felt this and prayed that he might be counted wor- thy to suffer something for Him-and sacrifices may be made upon home al- tars as truly as under persecution and in the flames and agonies of the stake.

YANKEE INVENTION TO WIN.
Vast Territory in Asia, Africa and South America Lies FnllOw for
 American Machinery.

It is happy fact that Yankees are so quick to invent and so skillful to use machinery of all kinds, says Aipslee's Magazine. Within the next few years there will be tremendous opportunities for civil, mechanical and electrical en- gineers in Asia. When the Chinese cast the first railway from Shanghai to Woo sung into the river they were only preparing themselves for network of railways over the whole of China. When the Coreans in Seoul destroyed the new electric line and burned the cars, they exhausted the forces of conservatism. and before long concluded that the elec-- tric railway was the best scheme for saving extra exertion in walking that had ever been devised. Large portions of South America and South Africa may be undeveloped and possessed of great material resources, but nowhere else does such combination of human and natural conditions tempt indus trial activity as in China. Nowhere else are so many hardworking and tenn perate men and women, waiting only to be taught, such wealth of coal and other minerals, such fertile soil, such splen- did rivers and harbors. Were the field small, it would not be so tempting. But China is in area larger than the United States. and has a population four or five times as large. For the last quar- ter of a century prospectors have been studying the provinces of the interior. and yet "ur knowledge still seems to be most limited. <.ySss~e&

BONES OF MAsTODoN FOUND.
A Farmer i'm Indiana Who Has
 Peculiar Frame for l. His Clock.

Some excellently preserved masto- don bones have been discoyertd in the vicinity of Hagerstown, Ind, Several years ago workmen digging ditch found the remains of mastodon, but the nature of the animal was not known to them. The only reason they were interested was because of the great size of the bones. All that were found were divided among the party of workmen, who took them to their homes andhave since permitted nearly all of them to become lost or 6e- stroyed. Henry Gwinn, farmer near Hagerstown, made circular opening in a vertebrac and placed therein clock with a face eight inches across. The clock needed repairing and he brought it into town, where the unique frame attracted much attention.
 The vertebra is one of the largest specimens ever discovered. It is Is nches from the spinous process to the lower edge of the centrum and 16 inches between the transverse processes. MT. Gwinn also has a rib from the same animal more than four feet long. Parts of two other mastodon skeletons have been found within a few miles of Ha- gerstown. From the two the splendid skeleton in Earlham college was con- structed said to be one of the finest in the world.
