instruction have something to do with the number of bad spoilers among fairly educated people. The old spelling bee spstern insured repetition. In recent years the writing of the spelling Ies- sons has in many schools taken the place of the oral system. The men and women who had gone through the dis tTict school of a half century or more ago were almost invariably good spell CTS. If, as the Evanston councilmen maintain, spelling be a gift, it is ap- parent that it is not bestowed on man as liberally as formerly.-Philadelphia Record.

| BIG NCHn0L SYSTEM.

London has a school system which is worth talking about, for size at least. She sends eight hundred thousand chil- dren to school, her ability to do so re- sulting from the efforts of her school board proceeding under the recently adopted Education act. It has erected five hundred new public buildings. cov- ering a square mile of valuable land, distributing them in every one of Lon don's fifty-eight electoral divisions, four to every square mile of the citys surface. The outlay was about $70,00O,- GOO, and they are by far the most i'm portant of the municipal assets. The work has been going on for thirty years, with constantly improving edu- cational conditions, and seems now to be pretty thoroughly equal to the ser- vice required of it. It gives more than elementary instructions; pupils find classes open to them in literature, sci- ence, art, technology and the like, with lecturers and teachers who are expert in their respective branches. At six of the polytechnics the highest classes have been included in the faculties of the reorganizsd London university, with it's six hundred professors and it's twenty-five constituent colleges, con- stituting a centre of academic teaching
 and research not unworthy of the great city which it serves. By it's inspec- tion of schools and it's new school leav- ing r1atriculation examination it stretches down it's roots to the second- ary schools, from which it is attract ing steadily increasing number of un-
 dergraduates.
 If the London school system is fad
 dish according to it's size it is sad. We hope it isn't.

There is only one genuine silver fox robe in New York, said a furrier of that city, "and am not at liberty to tell you the name of the lady who owns it. It is a complete cloak, being made of thirty-two pelts, each worth S30O
 You couldn't buy it for $20,oo0, yet it cost only about half that sum. Most people have an idea that the silver fox is of siIvery, or light gray, color, where as tie fur is nearly or entirely black with the exception of the tip of the tail, which is white. The name silver fox comes from the delicate gray rings that mark the black hairs of the hinder half of the body, the back of the head and the thighs. These rings give a silvery luster to the fur which is very beautf- ful. The lady owning the cloak in question is intensely American in everything, and chose the silver fox on that account, 1t being an American fur. Oh. I suppose the cloak might be du- plicated. The foxes are not all dead yet; but not many women care to pay $1o,000 for single garment that can be worn only a few times in season."

The fact that there are very few ap- plicants for vacant commissions in the infantry regiments of the German ar- my, and that there are at present eight hundred vacancies for the place of sub aItern, is said to be due to the enor- m1ously increased cost of living in the army. A German who has not private means cannot afford to be an officer. For example he is not permitted to marry unless he is rich or unless his fiancee is rich.

doubtful whether It would pay its run

IN THE DESERT.
Today all travel across the desert Is
by camels. The beasts are raised es-
pecially for freighting and there is a
regular business of breeding them for
caravan travel. There are freight ami
mails ana passenger animals, the latter
having gait as easy as that of a good
saddle horse a good riding camel Is
worth $780, and a good freight animal
can be bought for $50. Many of the
caravans have FIVE hundred camels, tif-
ty thousand camels coming every year
across the Sahara to Timhuktu. These
caravan routes are as well laid out as
railroad routes. There are no special
tracks, but the guides understand just
where to go and they aim to take In

| priaes about 100000 OF whom 100000
are French
The natives are Berbers and Arabs,
with an Admixture OF Eoors, Turks
and negroes, The Berbers belong TO
the same race as our own. They are
farmers and very Industrious, The
French use them as laborers, and with
their aid are setting out vineyards,
olive groves and orange orchards
They also cultivate the soil for them
selves, raising rich crops OF wheat and
other cereals
one Of the chief exports Of Algeria is
figs, Of which 210000O0 pounds are ex-
ported in year and another is dates,
which come from the date palms scat
tored over the country, and especially
throughout the GASES OF the Sahara.
In Algeria the French have materially
Improved the condition OF the people.
They have established primary schools
In every part Of the country, and also
schools Of higher education and COM

AFRlCA's FRENCH METROPOLIS.
The capital Of Algeria ls Afrlca's
French metropolis, II Is the city OF
Algers containing about 100000 people,
being considerably smaller than Tunis,
but far more important In commerce
and trade. The French have spent
millions of dollars on the harbor and
In beautifying the city A long pier
has been built SO that the largest
steamers can come in without danger.
Great warehouses have been construct
ed, and there are fine hotels and good
business buildings. The town has
street cors and electric lights, and al
together the lower parts of II look
more like Paris than Africa. The same
condition prevails nj Oran. the chief
port Of western Algeria, and at Con-
stantine, thriving city In the east,
each having Its French quarter.
FRENCH TuNIsIA.
Adjoining Algeria Is Tunsla, which
Is now under the protection of France.
IT has an African hey as It's nominal
ruler, but II is the French governor
who tells him how to act and handles
the cash. A great many improvements
are being made there since the French
took charge OF the country, The canal
which has been built connecting the
city Of Tunis directly with the sea has
greatly improved commerce and today
there are large wharyes along the
banks of the canal equipped with mod
orn lifting engines, cranes and port rail-
ways. Tunis Is the biggest city on the
African seabnard. and its trade is with
all parts of the Mediterranean sea- and
especially Europe.' 1t is connected by
railway with Algers and .Oran and by
caravan with all parts of the Sahara
The population Of Tunlsa IL almost
100000, consisting chiefly OF Bedouln
Arabs, Berbers and about 10000 Jews.

Dakar that the French governor gen.
eral OF West Africa lives, and there
are the chief offices with secretaries
and clerks. Each province has lieu
tenant governor, but all report to the
governor general al Dakar.
Dakar Is noted for It's excellent har-
Dor which Is now being widened and
deepened by the French. The city lies
right under the shadow OF Cape Verde
and is connected with ST. Louis, the
capital OF Senegal, by railway. II has
four French steamship lines. which
make regular passages between II and
France, and there are British and Ger
man lines to Liverpool and Ham,
burg.
IMPROVING WEST AFRICA.
The French are Just beginning to de-
velop their West African provinces.
They are laying out railroads in French
Guinea and deepening the harbors.
They have built a jetty about thou
sand feet long at Conakry, the capital
and chief seaport, and they are cutting
wagon roads into the interior.
In Dahomey there are 5000 natives
now at work on a railroad which Will
eventually extend through the country
to Lake Chad, and there connect with
the line across the Sahara to Algiers.
Fifty miles of this road has already
been constructed. and the work Will
be steadily pushed. Railroads are being
built In the French Congo, and also
from st. Louis, In Senegal eastward.
AFRICAN COTTON FIELDS.
TheseNWest African colonies are UNI
healthy. Dahomey is hot and 'malarious,
and the French Congo is noted for its
feyers, The French can never develop
the country except by native labor.
They understand this, and are acting
accordingly They have set out PLAN
tatlons In Dahomey some distance back
from the coast, and are raising cotton
there for shipment to France. The cot
ton is better than the American, and
am told that 1t brings a higher price in
Europe. Cotton fields have been laid
out I'm the French Congo and elsewhere.
The labor Is cheap, costing not more
than 10 TO 20 cents a day. In some Of
the colonies the people are very indus
trious.
education goes on apace. There are
missionaries in nearly all the colonies
and mission schools, as well as govern
ment schools In the Congo colony
alone SO schools have been established,
and porportionate number In Dahom-
ely and on the Ivory coast. All these
colonies trade chiefly with Europe. They
buy bright-coored calcoes beads,
knives and notions, trading ivory, rub
Der, palm seeds and palm oil for them.
So far the only thing they get from
America ia our leaf tobacco, which IL
sent there In hogsheads being first
shipped to Liverpool The freight rate
from Liverpool to Dahomey is about
three-fourths OF cent a pound.
THE FRENCH IN MADAGASCAR.
The French have materially chang
ed the conditions In Madagascar. They
have claimed to own that island for
hundreds of years, but II Is only seven
or eight years ago that II was formally
declared a French colony, The queen
was then deposed and carried to the
French Island of Reunion, whence she
was afterward taken to Alglerx

train to reach II. The oasis Is three
miles long and not more than half
a mile wide mt its widest place. It Is
one of the largest Of the French GASES,
having population of about 10000, in
GLIDING 1000 French troops and about
1900 civil Europeans, mostly French
and Italians. The place is noted for
its dates, Of which It has $1,000 trees,
producing about 5000 tons Of dates eve
ny year The trees are carefully lrrl-
gated and each tree Is taxed by the
government
FRENCH SOUDAN AND TIMBUKTU.
The French have an enormous terri
tory known as the French Soudan, ly-
ing south of the western part of the
Sahara. This strin goes half way
across the continent, the British terri
tories of Nigeria the Gold Coast and
Sierra Leone, and also Liberia and the
Kameruns being cut out of II. II reach
es the Atlantic ocean In several places
and embraces the French Congo, Da-
honey and Senegal.
This territory Is practically unex-
plored but II is being rapidly opened
up. a military government has been
established at Tlmbuktu and along the
Niger. and the other provinces are gov
srned from Dakar In Senegal, 1t Is at
