The New York Society for the Protec-

School Journal, has taken steps to es-
tablish schools among the Italian labor
camps of New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey The intention is to inter-
est local authorities so that they will
support the schools when once eStab-
lished.
A movement has been started by tho
Japanese in Vancouver to provide
schools in which their own language

Henriette Goldschmidt is called the
mother of the kindergarten system in
Germany. Of course, the Froebel meth

An article in the London Graphic
says terror is the key to the admins
tration of the Congo Free State and
gives definition of the administrator
or this dark region in darkest Africa
In nutshell the Congo adminiStra-
ton is this: The farming out of goE-
eminent taxation to commercial mo-
nopolies to which the right OF their
claim is conceded, and the enforcing of
an ever increasing tax from the people,
from which the government itself
draws 80 per cent. of the profits. The
white agents carrying out this system
are permitted by the government to
employ large bands of 'levieS' or SEN
tries, and also arm the 'irregular.s.
These companies have also tie right of
cOntrait de corps, or the capturing and
holding of hostages until the demand
Of rubber is satisfactory. These armed
sentries carry out the captures and
bring in to the white man the hostages.
The raids for these hostages are Sc
dom free from bloodshed and are often
accompanied by nameless tortureS on
the defenselesS people"
When we understand that the sea-
tries and levies and irregulars are ma
tves of the country, perhaps as de-
graded and cruel people as it is pos
sible to find on this earth, we realize
something of what ii means to put this
power into their hands, to put these

BETTER THAN A CASCADE.
Something More Picturesque Than
a Mess of Water Running
Over Rocks.

Several years age. William L. Douglas
spent short vacation with some friends
IN New Hampshire, relates the Boston
Herald; The first morning there found
hun taking his usual long walk. He had
heard his friend talking of Wilson's cas-
cade, Just four miles from there. so he
decided to walk in that direction. He
had gone about two miles, when he saw
an Old man summing himself in the door
way OF great barn which stood near the
road.
Can you direct me to Wilson's cas-
cade! he inquired of the old man.
The old man squinted his eyes and took
an exhaustive survey of the questioner
before he spoke, lake your first right
and follow it till you come to fork
where there's a elump o blackberry
bushes, he said, slowly, then strike Of

on that road you'll come to Abe Sim

he wears plaid overalls, green and blue

Books as Medicine.

DR.. C. w. Brandenburg, of the New
York Medical college. declares that he
regularly prescribes humorous books
to certain class of patients. When
he was a student in Ohio some 80 years
ago he was a roommate with John NJ.
Pattison, now governor of that state.
The latter, law student, was ill and
blue one night and the doctor says:
Il read one of Mark Twain's books to
him and he laughed himself we'll.
Laughter is one OF the best, most nat
ural forms of exercise know of. The
idea that side-spiitting laughter may
retard the healing OF wounds is, l am
afraid. a trifle far fetched. | really
think that granulation might be gently
stimulated instead. OF course, people
have burst their hearts by laughing.
but the instances were most excep-
tional."

FOOD AND STUDY.
A College Mans Experience.

'All through my high school course
and first year in college," writes an
ambitious young man, Il struggled
with my studies on diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond Of
cakes and fried things. My system
got into a state of general disorder
and it was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any degree
of satisfaction. l tried different med
icines and food preparations, but did
not seem able TO correct the difficulty.
Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and l sampled it. l
had to do something, so just buckled
down to a rigid observance of the d.
rections on the package, and in less
than no time began to feel better. In
q few weeks my strength was restored,
my weight had increased, had a
clearer head and felt better in every
particular. My work was simply sport
TO what it was formerly.
My sisters health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her mu-
sic. She went on Grape-Nuts and had
the same remarkable experience that
/ had. Then my brother, Frank, who
is in the post Office department at
Washington city, and had been trying
to do brain work on greasy foods,
cakes and all that, Joined the Grape
Nuts army. showed him what it was
and could do, and from broken-down
condition he has developed into a
hearty and efficient man.

Disappear When Or. Williams Pink
Pills Purify the Blood and
Heal Inflamed Tissues.

Rheumatism is disease of the blood,
caused by the failure of the body to cast
of certain poisons. External applica-
tlons are of use only in securing tempo
rary relief from pain-the cure for
rheumatism lies in purifying and en-
riching the blood.
Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter
street, Sandy Hill, NY, was a sufferer
from infammatory rheumatism from
the time she was sixteen. She says
1t first appeared in my knee joints,
then i'll my hips and waist. 1t became

all winter. The rheumatism affected
mostly my hands, hips, feet and
shoulders. My hands were all pulled
up and my feet became deformed. /

sometimes l was compelled to cry out,

cure. was confined to my bed, off and
on, for weeks at a time. My limbs
swelled dreadfully at times and was
reduced almost to nothing.

arms into their possession. And who
is it gives the blooGthirsty, irrespon-
Slble creatures such dangerous power?
The white man, sO-called Christian
so-called highly civilized The Be-
gians, at the head of whom stands
King Leopold-whose title reads the
opposite of GladstOne's. .(But we have
read what Mark Twain thinks of Leo
pold, and after that flaying it would
be weak to attempt anything in the
way of denunciation.)
How came Leopold to have control
of that very considerable region nom
mated the Congo Free State? In 1876
King Leopold, in furtherance of AT
rican exploration and colonization, or
ganized, with the cooperation of lead
ing African explorers, and supported
by several European governments, the
International African association The
following year Stanley was sent out to
the Congo country by the association
Leopold defraying the expenses. Trea-
ties were made with the Congo chiefs
and posts established The Interna-
tional Association Of the Congo now
took charge of the work, and the sew
eral small territories were combined
into one state, for which recoenition
was asked of the civilized govern
ments. This recognition was given
and the Congo Free State came into
being. At an international conference
on African affairs, 1885, an act was
passed concerning the rights of the
several nations in the Congo. humane
treatment of the natives, the abolition
of the slave trade, etc. The state was
placed under the personal sovereignty
of Leopold leopold. by will made
in 1889, bequeaths the state to Bel
gium) Other matters calling away
from this region the attention of the
several powers, Leopold strengthened
the Belgian interests. And the Bel
gians have stoutiy upheld their king
in his exploitation of the Congo.
Congo Free State is rich country
and while it could not be said the
Belsians have developed it, they
have exploited ii as commercial en-
terprise. Give, give, give, say the
agents of the white man, the sen
tries" and 'irregulars;" and the ma
tives make desperate effort to procure
and hand over that which the white
man demands. Rubber is by far the
most important article of commerce
forming nearly 80 per cent. of the spe-
cial exports. The general export trade
rose in the four years succeeding 1896
from 100000 to nearly $4,000 900
Belgium has about So per cent of the
total special commerce.
We are told that since Leopold as
sumed sovereign power over this ter
ritory the slave trade has been sup
pressed. If not entirely abolished; that
inter-tribal wars and cannibalism. as
well as abuses arising from the liquor
traffic, have been largely reduced. But

remove the entire scales by bathing or

be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of

scaly crust would form again in twenty
four hours. 1t was worse on my arms
and limbs, although it was in spots all
over my body, also on my scalp. If 1
let the scales remain too long without
