In no state Of the South have the
colored people shown more progress
and more power Of development than
in the city of Richmond, Va. Here
the race has shown in a most cOnspic-
uous way its possibilities. Here the
race has demonstrated beyond per ad-
venture its ability to conduct large
mercantile enterprises, and banking
institutions. With a population Of
about forty thousand, the cOlored peo-
pie of Richmond operate successfully
four banks, more than a dozen insur-
ance companies, many drug stores,
groceries, printing Offices; one steam
laundry, and five newspapers.
OF the many successful men in
Richmond, Va, Mr. w Isaac Johnson,
an undertaken, is an example. To the
manor born. he has grown up since

issued. and has won his success in his

Color aenaationa.

The three primary color sensations
are considered to be red, green and vio-
let. Certain mixtures of violet and
green produce u blue. Red and green
also give a yellow. but it is i'm
portant to observe that these are pri-
mary color sensations and not primary
colors, though the expression lights of
primary colors" is admissible, for it is
commonly imagined that the blue and
yellow mixed in certain proportions
produce various kinds of green. II
yellow and blue pigments be mixed to-
gether with water the green color
produced is not a mixture of blue and
yellow colors. 1t is the one color which
is not freely absorbed either by the
yellow or by the blue pigment. The
yellow pigment removes the greater
part of the blue, indigo and violet rays;
the blue pigment removes the greater
part of the red. orange and yellow.
Thus the light that finally escapes is
mainly green.-Longman's Magazine.

Clothes and Heat.

When we speak Of warm or cool
clothing we use as absolute metaphor
as when we talk of the sun going down
or the "rosy fingered dawn" Clothes
can communicate neither heat nor cold
to the body. Fur is not warm nor lin
en- cool, except as they serve as con-
ductors for the heat generated by the
body itself. Fur and wool are excel
lent nonconductors Of heat-that is.
they do not allow the heat Of the body
to escape SO easily as some other mate
rials-and the reason why fur is one
of the poorest conductors of heat is
not, as might be supposed, SO much be-
cause of its thickness aud weight as
because of the air which is mingled
with or confined between its fibers,
confined air being one Of the most ef-
fectual nonconductors of heat known.

A PIECE OF PINE.

"A piece of soft pine" breaks more
pocket knives than anything else in the
world. If what we are told is true,
every knife that is brought back broken
has come to grief by that same piece of
soft pine. We never heard of a knife
being broken in opening tin cans or
when used as a screw driver. They
stand such usage, but the true test Of
quality is the piece of soft pine. We
warrant our knives to cut pine. The

SAVING FRENCH BABIES.

The French and the Parisians in par- ticular-are becoming alive to the urg- ent necessity of arresting the destruc- tion of infant life. A hundred and fifty thousand infants of the age of twelve months or under die every year in France-a high proportion in a popula- tion of about 3S,000,000. The statistic clans, including the chiefs of the medi- cal profession, hold thatsrhe lives of at least hundred thousand of these Infants can be saved. Myriads of ba-
 bies die because their mothers belong | ing principlly to the working classes
 do not know how to take care of them,
 or because poverty prevents them from taking sufficient rest before and after
 birth. As remedy for this fast evil,
 the Senate has just given It's approval to proposal prohibiting the employ lment of laboring women during the two
 weeks preceding and the four weeks following the birth. The prefect of the
 Seine has just inaugurated in every one of the twenty arrondissements of
 Paris a permanent system of confer
 ences In maternity for the instruction
 of women of the working classes, or of
 any others in need of enlightenment.
 These conferences are to be held at the
 headquarters of every municipal divi-
 sion of the capital. They win be pre- sided over by the local mayors and by
