Women of Africa.

The women in Africa lead n somewhat
secluded life, seldom joining in CONVEX
sation with men unless they are rela-
tlves, writes Prince Momou Masaquoi
of Ghendimah, Africa, in an article con-
tributed to The Century. The girls grow
up to fear and honor men, to be digni-
fed and feminine. thereby helping men
to feel their own Importance as well as
that of the women, whose secluSion is a
result of the esteem in which they are
held
The respect paid to a woman soon to
become a mother is on n purely Chris
tian basis. She seldom wants for any
thing; whatever she asks for is given to
her. Everyone considers it Il duty to
minister to her comfort.
Even III war women retCn their hon
orahle position They are seldom killed
in warfare, although often taken cap
tive, in which case they become slaves
so-called, or wives; but even in cap
tivity they marry only the man they love-
and AS slaves they are entitled to all
the respect belonging tO free women. The
labors which they perform. ana which
civilized men consider degrade ton

Bismarck"

of Tyras who lost his life while drag

a restless puppy who got into disputes
with strange dogs, and then bismarck
stood between Kaiser and trouble; ANA
Kaiser. being only dog, repaid him
with gratitude ana danced around him i'm

The Value of Ideals.

Consciously or unconsciouSly i'll our Sc
cret places we set ZIP our ideals. There
are our standards which we begin to
crow toward while we are yet unaware
Of the process. 1t is like tiny seedlings
To which the child who plants it gives
the support of ii string which leads it
toward the pole it is not yet strong
enough to climb around. And as we
grow we change these standards, sup
planting them by better ones as we APP
proach them nearly and find them in
adequate to our needs. We must do
this. Our little vine has grown. This
little string which was sufficient while
il was weak is not enough for the sturdy
vine. We must continue to do this. as
we must give our vine a taller and vet
taller pole to climb upon when we find
it has arrived nearly at the top Of the
pole we set up last year.
And as it is the straightness of the
pole. its height and direction which de-
termine the size. the shape and the
beauty Of the vine whose guide
and help and pattern it was. SO
it is the slow adaptation of years of
growth toward this ideal which we are
trying to copy which creates the whole
character, inevitably forming it, we'll or
Ill, higher or lower. according to the
character of the standards we have set
up in our hearts. Aspiration toward the
best is possible for us all.-Selected

Tie rector Of Hampshire parish pos
sesses n most wonderful parrot Though
the rector lives two miles from the
church, the bird invariably accompanies
him to the sacred building. While the
service is proceeding the bird recognizes
his masters voice. and when he reads Il
lesson or breaches one can hear the bird
outside chattering away. The parrot Also
joins in the "Amens,' aud il evidently
quite conyersant with all church service
routine. The service over. the parrot
screams with delight, circles about its
masters head perches on his shoulder.
and finally accompanies him home, The
attachment of the master to the bird is
only equalled by the parrots evident
pride in and affection for its master. --
