LTFE AND HOPE.

Those who have forgotten that Con-
vention are hereby reminded that they
have forgotten something whose last
days may be more important than its
first days. The action of the Conven-
ton yesterday was certainly important.
The one-and- sixty nlan was at least
temporarily, and perhaps permanently,
knocked out, in spite of hearty efforts
by those who favor it. 1t had only 81
votes in the Convention yesterday, and
a committee of conference consisting of
twenty-four members was appointed to
consider the subject of representation,
and the Convention adjourned until
next Wednesday,
While there's life there's hope, and il
is evident from yesterdays action that
there is life. The committee of confer
ence is well made up, and it will en-
deavor to do something. OF course
whatever is done, if anything is done,
will be compromise, but some of the
friends of reform feel that there is
than there was. There We're fourteen
absentees yesterday, and perhaps some
of them will be present next week to
aid in the good work or the bad work.

Bed thine.

The 'Braska Baby climbed on my knee
And called for stories, six, eight, free
SO ! told him the tales that used to know,
OF the Sparrow, so reckless with his bow,
OF Adam an Eve, that wouldn't mind,
Of Bo-Peep's sheep, with their tails behind
Or the Pawnee boy and the Old Dun Horse,
And Little Red Rim Hood, too, of course;
Gain! said the Braska Baby.
SO | told of the beasts in Noahs ark
How the old cat learned to see in the dark
OF the ring-tailed monk how he came that
way,
Why bats are ashamed to be seen by day,
Or the woodchuck, way deep down in the
ground,
And of old Brer Tarrypin, l0ungin' round,
told of the bear and the bumblebee,
And the great big whales that live in the
sea;
Why? said the 'Braska Baby,
Then ! told of the boy with the chopping
knife,
How he ran and stumbled and lost his life
How Giddy Miss Ellen fell In and was
drowned,
or Peter, who swung the hot poker around,
How Peggy and Polly had each new dolly,
And how Uncle John had to punish their
folly;
or Hezeklah who played with the fire
ana the boy who ran off and was lost in
the miro:
What foa? said the Braska Baby.

LIVING UP TO THE LETTER OF
CONTRACT

George w. Byng, who leads the Or
chestra and composes so many of the
ballets at the Alhambra, the London
music hall, is an lrishman by birth, the
son of an artist-Dayid Byng, He is one
of the most talented and experienced
conductors in London. Mr., Byng tells
an amusing story in reference to tour
he once made with an operate com,
pany. He was a musical conductor,
and an agreemnt was made by the
managers of provincial theaters that
an orchestra should always be provid-
ed of not less than thirty-two instru-
ments. Arriving in small town, Mr..
Byng went to the theater for the usual
rehearsal of the opera. All the men
were there; but he was astonished to
find that there were hardly half dozen
strings all told, Drums and flies
were abundant.
What is the meaning of this?" he ex-

Why HE VAS SLAIN.

Of course there We're reasons for the
ASA ssination of M. Sipiaguine, the
Russian Minister of the Interior, and
some of them are set forth by the spe-
cial correspondent of the London Times
in st. Petersburg. The assassination
did not create much of sensation in
the Russian capital. Something of the
kind. perhaps, had been expected.
Among the middle classes there was no
'pretence of horror or regret, but, in
deed, rather disposition to dwell adj
miringly upon the courage and resolu-
ton exhibited by the murderer. The
correspondent declares that it would
scarcely be too much to say that M.
Sipiaguine in the two years of his adj
ministration had succeeded in making
himself the best hated. man in Russia.
He was regarded as the embodiment of
the spirit of reaction which has been
all powerful since the death Of Alexan-
der H. His name was a synonym for
distrust of all liberal measures and for
belief in arbitrary government. Every
reactionary step taken in home policy,
whether in the sphere of local govern
ment or in the sphere of education, was
ascribed to his initiative. 1t was gem
orally believed that he used every
means in his power to thwart the lib
eral policy of General Vannovsky, the
Minister Of Education, and that
the period of disorder it was
he who advocated the most rigorous
methods of repression. Moreover, he
was regarded not as an intellectual
force, like Pobiedonostzeff but as
shallow man, without deep convictions,
who used to profess liberal principles
before he found himself in responsible
position. In private life he is said to
have been sufficiently amiable and
rather popular person.

WHAT OLD PEOPLE SHOULD EA,

I WHAT OLD PEOPLE SHOULD EAT.
Sir Henry Thompson, one of the
greatest living authorities on foods and
Feelings, states, in recent publication.
That what is called Indigestion does
not depend upon any fault of the diges-
tive apparatus, but solely upon it's be-
Ing called upon 10 accomplish work
which is beyond its powers; so that the
remedy is not to be found in the gas
lfic juices of the pig, or in the inges-
ton of the various chemically prepared
messes advertised as being digestibe."
He (Sir Henry would leave the pep
SIN and the messes to be appl ed, if at
all, by skilled physicians in cases OF
illness which may possibly require them
and lays down, as of practically uni
Versal application, the principle that
the elderly person neither requires nor
can digest as much food as the young
person, and that this principle should
govern the arrangement of his life. The
total amount of food should be steadily
diminished as age advances, and this
total amount should be divided among
a larger number of meals than were
sufficient for his wants in former days
In other words, not only should the en-
tire daily demand upon the digestion be
diminished but the demand made at
one time should be diminished also
1t is commonly asserted and is by
many believed that the average dura-
ton of human life has been increased
by dentistry, but Sir Henry inclines to
the opinion that the loss or failure of
teeth is one of natures kindly warn
ings, that the use of them, and by inn
pIicati9n the use of foods which require
their active exercise, should be dimin-
ished in corresponding proportion The
principle which he applies to food he
applies also to all the forms of alcohol
and he contemptuously rejects the idea
that wine is the milk of old age

A new development is the trouble on
the Nile, where by treaty with Eng
land the Congo Free State was per-
mtted to occupy for time a strip OF
territory reaching to the river at Lado
and to fortify it. Friction between the
Belgans and English occurred some
time ago, the former, it is alleged, haV-
ing acted in excess of their rights UNI
der the lease, but now rebel natives
from Uganda, a British province, nave
attacked several Belgian posts. Brit
ish troops have appeared and estap-
lished themselves ION Belgian terri
tory and the leased strip is now the
scene of strife between the British and
Belgians. This is only what has long
been expected. when LORD ROSeOeFy
leased the strip to King Leopold, the
dervishes were still strong on the up
per Nile, and it was desired to pit the
Belgians against them. Since Kitchen
er's victory at Omdurman the situation
is altered and the .Belgians are no
longer needed To be added to this is
the fact that the Belgians have used
their position on the Nile in an unex-
peeted manner to divert trade from the
British territory. Cruelty to the ma
tives has also had a bad effect on

1t Isl recorded that a Chicago woman
has declined a proffered nomination for
school trustee on the ground that her
two-year-old baby requires all her time.

it may be a good thing for her baby and
her family that she is willing to devote
all her time to them, but what about

LITTLE BELGIUM'S BIG COLONY.

Belgium Is a little country, but it has
big colony in Africa, and it has
big Job on it's hands there. There is
talk that an international conference
will be assembled to consider means of
preventing the continued infringement
by the Government of the Congo Free
State of the General Act of Berlin, 1885.
The state" or rather the Belgians who
run it, have been establishing priVi-
leges and monopolies which, it is held,
are an infringement of Articles | and
v of the Berlin Act. since according to
this, the Congo State has no right to
establish privileges and monopolies
which relate to foreign trade. The es-
sence of the contention is that the
Congo States policy of destroying all
amounts to something like
fraud, and is mere
mockeTy of the Berlin act There is a
system of absolute monopolies, and no
one dares to enter Free State territory.
OF late the situation has grown worse.
The Congo State has now got into its
own hands three fourths of the com
merce. AT the same time the condition
