Nor gan, orator of his class at Harvard, has served five terms in the city council and Board of Aldermen, and was barely defeated for a seat in the legislature. The Rev. J. H. Duckery is the colored member of the Board of Trustees of the Public Library. As far back as 1870 a colored man, Patrick Henry Raymond, became Chief of the Cambridge Fire Department, of which there was, at that time, no other negro member. A color ed policeman has served for nineteen years without ever receiving repri- mand or punishment, and in all seven colored men have held seats in the city council.
 Probably there is no other place in the country where ''the race problem has been dealt with as it has been in Cam bridge. And it is generally known that Cambridge is and has been about as good a place as there is In the country.

Another favorite method of torturing a prisoner is to place boiling eggs in his armpits. Deprivation of sleep is a pun ishment often put in force, with the in eyitable result of madness.

LARGELY PSYCHOLOGICAL,

Boston studies much, and finds out some things. It has been studying how 1t happens that the visiting English golf players so easily beat United States golf players. One of the Boston papers gives the result of this study. It points out that the players who have
 been competing with the best of our Americans have played golf from child
 hood, played it continually and sanely, as an exercise and a recreation, until their muscles have become so accus- toned to respond to the will that no ex- ercise of an unwonted character is nec-
 essary. Golf is largely psychological, and the more the sub-consciousness en- ters into the play the more accurate does the player become. It is notice able, to one who has carefully studied the play of the Englishmen, that there is certain automatism about their swing and handling of their clubs which can only be acquired by years of atten-
 tion, and, indeed, a part of it may be
 traceable to a former generation. Un-
 doubtedly, says Boston, the young schoolboys who are playing golf in this
 country to-day may in course of time
 reach the same general high standard
 of play which the Englishmen have al-
 ready acquired, but those who take up
 the game in later life. when their mus
 cles have become set and hardened,
 must expect to be beaten.
 These are very just conclusions, and
 Boston has done the golfers of this
 country, and indeed those of all coun-
 tries, an especial service in calling att
 tention to the fact that golf is largely psychological and the more the sub consciousness enters into the play the more accurate does the player become.

C4MBR fDGE'S RACE PHORL YrM.

Southern men and southern newspa- pers have done considerable sneering lately about the treatment of the negro in the sympathetic and philanthropic North, and it must be admitted that their sneering has some justification. But there is at least one place in the North where the negro has been able to get his rights and to add to his rights some substantial favors. This place is Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Bos- ton Herald shows what negroes have done there. The city bacteriologist is Dr. William c. Lane, colored physi- elan. William Henry Lewis, the liar ward football coach, is now Assistant District Attorney of the United States, after three terms in the city council and one in the legislature. Miss Maria l..

Prosperity must be contagious. Any
 how. Canada. which touches us, has
 been having prosperity just as we have,
 or even more in some ways. The meet
 ing of the Congress of Chambers of
 Commerce at Montreal is the occasion
 of the publication of some interesting figures showing the remarkable growth of the industries and trade of Canada in the last few years. Combined inn
 ports and exports. which in 1871 were $170, ,250, 900, had increased in in 1901 to
 $3S1, 100000. and in the last two years has grown from that figure to $467, ,0OO,-
 O00 In five years the percentage of in- crease has been 65 per cent. which is twice that of the United States and nearly two and one-half times that of Germany. This rapid growth is due to the development of hitherto neglected neglected natural resources, agricultur-
 al and mineral, consequent upon the in- troduction of foreign capital The chief
 means of promoting it has been the building of railroads and canals. upon
 which vast sums have been judiciously spent. In 1871 Canada's railroad mile age was but 2,5OO. The completion of 1 the Canadian Pacific ten years later
 brought it up to 14.O00 miles. and at
 present it is about 10000 miles. She
 has another transcontinenta railroad in the works and as she has still immense
 areas of virgin soil of productive
 character, vast forests of rnerchantable timber and great wealth of undeveloped l mineral resources, the expansion of her 1 industry and commerce may be expect ed to continue unchecked for many years. ..'....,

What is the origin of religion? asks Goldwin Smith in a letter to the Sun 5. t.The tendency appears to be almost universal. showing itself independently in every member of the human race saving perhaps the very lowest saw ages. There must be some rational &C., count of it, and it is difficult to see how that account could be found in evolu- ton or in anything disclosed by physi- cal science. Such an explanation of the origin of religion as the apparition ot dead chieftains in dreams seems to be totally inadequate. Let us be thor. oughly loyal to science and embrace all It's real discoveries, however subversive of our traditions. But let us ask for recognition of all the phenomena of hu- man nature, not only those which are demonstrably physical, but also those which appear to belong to another class t

The Congregationalis doubts if the time has come for any attempt to pre- pare a statement which shall compre- hensively represent the belief of Con- gregational churches to-day. In this transition perioS it gives the following:
 Churches preparing new manuals would do well to insert in them the his- ltoric creeds of Congregationalism, to attempt no more than brief summary of beliefs as representing what their members hold in common, and to place the chief emphasis in receiving new members on a covenant to obey the will of God, to seek faithfully to4un- derstand it, to live as loyal disciples of Christ ill fellowship with one another in united effort to make His kingdom supreme in all the world"

Nowhere is the woman doctor more in evidence than in Russia. Among the wild and scattered population of this immense country there is an inexhausti- ble field for women as doctors and teachers, and 1t is the knowledge of this Ais nt which has disarmed the opposition to then going through universities. In 1897 Russia had 997 women doctors, and the number constantly increases. In this profession Russian. women have made distinguished name. They have enormous practices in the great towns, and are largely employed by the munich palities.
