% aIl right The money for their edu-
cation came from mp there. and we
can spare the whole turnout Just
emerged from bondage and Ignorance
and were a thousand years behind tho
white race when their shackles wero
knocked off, Oh. my countryl Where
Is my grlndstDne Before those ina.
glnary shackles were knocked OFF our
slaves were so obedlent and law-abld.
ing we did not need a prison. and now
there are 4,i00 IN the chain gangs Of
Georgia. Wonderful progress. With
all their education they are meaner,
lazier, dlrtier and ten times more i'm.
moral in their domestic relations than
ever before. And yet some southern
editors boast Of their acquisition OF
property and run It up in the millions.
OF course there axe some good and
some thrifty negroes who have made
money. but they are not per cent Of
the masses. One negro IN this town Is
worth more money than all the rest.
The cities are full Of yagabonds who
play craps and steal and snatch purses
from women and burglarize houses
and keep women and children in a
state of constant alarm. Stealing is
as much n race trait with them as It is
among the Bedouln Arabs Where are
my young pigeons and what becomes
Of my stove wood and coal?
No, our editors are too young t.
realize the difference between now and
then. Why, my faithful man servant
Tip could tell them more about slavery
than they all know. Did / ever whip
Tip? No, never. l never thought of
such a thing. never whipped but one
Of my negroes. My wife s father
Judge Hutchins, owned over hundred
and l never heard of him whipping one
Of them. He had one very bad negro
who got mad and run away and stayed
in the woods a month out Of spite, and
when he got tired and came home the
old judge drove him off again and told
him to stay in the WOODS, that ne didn't
want him any more, but he finally beg.
ged his way back and gave no more
trouble. Chains and shackles! Won
der where General Grant was when
Lincoln knocked them off of his?
There are many kinds Of chains, but
the chains Of slavery were not to be
compared with the chains Of the chain
gang or the chains of matrimony that
many a poor wife is suffering from.
Now let us hear no more about
shackles nor about the negro being a
thousand years behind the white man.
The truth is, the old-time negro was
morally a thousand years ahead Of the
rascals up north who brought them
here in slave ships and sold him to
us because they could not use them
at home. But the Lord is merciful
and we had rather endure the negro
than listen to northern SANDERS.
They have just found mares nest.
If it has taken them forty years to
realize their folly, how long will it
take them to pay us for what they
have swindled us out of? Where is
my grindstone? 1t was an unshackled
niger that stole it and the folks that
unshackled him ought to pay for it.

The latest indication Of the Kaiser's
versatility has just come to light. He
has illustrated the historical develop
ment of costume, with series Of
drawings. No doubt he has views on
the straight 'front.' and when he gets
time will lay down aesthetic rules for
the guidance of the dressmakers Of
Berlin.

A naturalist at Hanover, Cape Col.
ony, describes many remarkable small
animals which about there. Among
them is gecko, called by the Dutch
farmers "getje" whose large tail comes
off with a slight touch, and remains
jumping about on the ground, attract
ing the attention of an enemy, while
the animal itself sinks away, and
animals which abound there. Among
the solifugae is most extraordinary
animal resembling a spider, sometimes
nearly three inches long, and of which
Mr.. Cronwright Schreiner says that he
knows mo creature which for it's size
is so terribly armed" It's disproportion-
ately large head is made up mainly Of
double pair of nippers of great pow
er. The "jacht spinnekop," as the
Dutch call the animal hunts for it's
living and is fierce fighter. Sometimes
it will kill scorpion. There are many
tray-door spiders that display great in
genuity, and several poisonous species
Of dreadful appearance.

Doing Yyhnt We Can.

Doing what we have the power to do is
our highest privilege and duty. We often
feel that, if we had more money, or more
influence, or more power, we could do
something worth doing, but, as it is, our
possibilities are sadly limited, and we can
have no hope of greatly honoring God, or
helping our fellows Yet the one woman
in the world whose name stands highest
above her fellows for what she did in her
day and generation was not a woman Of
great wealth or of special power. OF her it
is said simply, "She hath done what she
could" She may have thought that her
sphere, and abilities, were limited, but God
blessed her simple doing with His blessing
and with her ever-growing fame An that
God would have US do is to do what we
can. That much we ought to be ready to
do gladly.-Sunday-School Times.

The signal corps Of the German army
has for a long time been seeking n
light that II could uso for signalling In
daytime as well as at night, and It has
found such a light In acetyleno gas
mixed with a certain proportion OF
oxygen, which Is three times as power
ful as llmelight Il can be used In day
time even when the sun IL shining. for
signalling a distance Of Eve miles. and
at night for fifteen miles.
Professors Haga and Wind Of Hol-
land, In 1899 announced that the X.rays
were subject to attraction. They have
recently repeated their experidents and
have again proved the existence OF diff
fraction phenomena and conclude that
there is no longer a doubt that the X
rays are, like light waves, perturba-
lions OF the equilibrium OF the ether.
They have sought to evaluate the wave
lengths Of the X-radiatlons. and con-
clude that these radiations have wave
lengths OF the same order Of magni-
luuS as uBnt waves.
We may have white oranges in the
United States within a few years. One
OF the explorers sent outby the agricul-
tural department discovered an orange
of that kind on the shores of the Medl-
terranean a few months ago, and
brought cuttings home with him. They
were carefully grated at the depart
ment grounds, and are now three feet
in height. A cutting from them was
sent to Santa Ana Cal, and the fruit
may be expected in two years. If the
flavor proves to be fine cuttings will
be scattered over the country.
Most people are aware Of the power
Of egg shells to resist external pressure
on the ends, but not many would cred
1t the results Of tests recently made,
which appear to be genuine. Eight or
binary hens eggs were submitted to
pressure applied externally all over
the surface of the she'll, and the break
ing pressures varied between 400
pounds and 675 pounds per square
inch. With the stresses applied intern
ally to twelve eggs, these gave way at
pressures varying between thirty-two
pounds and sixty-hve pounds per
square inch. The pressure required to
crush the eggs varied between forty
pounds and rs pounds The average
thickness Of the shells was $4,000 inch.
An ingenious process has lately been
devised which, by the use Of parafin,
furnishes a convenient smokeless fire.
The arrangement, which is very sim
pie and readily applicable to an ordin.
airy domestic stove, consists of a metal
tray for receiving an incombustible abb
sorbent soaked in parafin specially
prepared for the purpose. The advan-
tage of the process is that the paraffin
in it's preparation is freed of its ex-
plosive properties, so that no danger is
attached to its use. The oil can even
be poured directly on to the flames
without the contents of the feeding can
catching fire. The use Of the oil does
not produce any trace of evil odor. The
absorbent used is prepared by secret
process.
