THE GRANGE PICNIC.

Kinder thort we'd have picnick
Now tibet haydn times most dun,
So we hunted up ther baskets
For a pleasure trip an fun.
Thort they'd halt at Brother Sheehan's
As they'd make ther chowder there,
Jest this side Their pond where lilies
Blossom fragrant like an fair.
Underneath Their biggest maple
Spread Their lushus hahes an pies,
With Their chowder hot an steamin',
Jest enuf to skare the flies.
Oh, thes Changers relish picnicks,
Specially duz Risin' Sun
Never tole you much about Him,
But will before I'm dun.
Onct this Grange waz strong an nifty,
Bout theT time tibet we came in,
Tut fl TN tibet time st emed to weaken,
Til its ranks got down so thin
Let it kuuldn't kaSt a shadder
As thel best Of EN- will due.

so at last ther spark so feeble
Forth agin has bust i'll flame,
Now tIeS NUN uel ILL HtlHUela
All so thankful tibet they kane.
Gut an organ and their meetin'
Once week in McGray's hall.
Risin' Sun kno doubt will welcome
County Grange sum time this fall.
Sumtimes when McGray has dances
Lushus suppers sisters git,
Nhen Their rent homes dew | reckon
Now this change helps out bit.
Soon They've goin' to have konsert
An a kOntest it will be,
For each side il almos' surtin'

POSTCARDS AS SCHOOL AIDS
Many of London's Pupils Are Edu-
Gated by Foreign Correspond
ent's Letters.

Much success has attended the inter.
change of letters and postcards bel
tween pupils in the London county
council schools and those in schools
in the colonies.
London boys and girls are put in
communication with children in the
elementary schools in any part of his
majesty's dominions from which an
plications are received. Already tgeSe
have been many cases of interesting
and instructive correspondence. The
county council pays the postage on
the letters. Canadian and New Zea-
land school boys and girls are the
most prolific correspondents.
One feature is the interchange of
pictorial postcards which invariably
results. The scholars engage in this
on their own initiative. suggestion
is thrown out that the postcards might
be made as instructive as the letters.
There is nothing in the regulations to
prevent London teachers from adopt!
ing this course if they see fit.
At the Ostend public schools COL
lections of all postcards of instructive
value, such as views of towns and
| districts and photographs of national
costumes and scenes of current events
are exhibited in the classrooms and
are discussed between the children aI1i
the teacher. Two or three times a.
week the selection is changed and
when during the lessons any topic
arises related to views in the school
| collection these are shown and ex-
| plantations given.

ton a new order of things from
the throne. The message was in
reality less a throne speech than a
greeting and requirad only three
minutes for delivery; but it means
that absolute monarchy is at an
end and that constitutional liberty
has set its face toward the East.
The opening of the Parliament
was celebrated everywhere through
out the Empire.
The Russian people have made
several attempts before to establish
their constitutional rights but the
Emperor's forces were always able
to crush uprisings and discourage
discussion by banishing political
leaders to Liberia. 1t was not un-
til the war with Japan which an
initiated the Navy and inflicted
injury and havoc upon Russian
troops that liberal leaders saw a
chance of demanding their rights
with any serious hopes of securing
them. But now that the the work
of liberty has actually begun it
viii be impossible for the Nobility
to stop ii and thus another chapter
is added to the history of self-gov-
eminent and step made toward ma
tional progress.
1t remains now for China, India
and other Eastern nations to learn
from Russia their first lessons in
national and constitutional devel-
opment and fall into line of raising
the world standard of religious and
personal liberty until no class of
men shall be mere serfs and hire
lings but all men be free and equ-
al. The Negro in America can
rejoice with the down-trodden pea
SAINTS in Russia even at this late
day in securing their emancipation
and freedom.

THE PRESIDENTS VICTORY.

The passage of the Railroad
Rate bill by a decisive vote of II
to in the United States Senate is
a marked tribute to President
Roosevelt's popularity before the
people. OF the majority voting
with the ADMINISTRATION 26 were
Democrats. On the opposition
were two Democrats and one Re-
publican. Among those who alb
sented themselves when the vote
was taken were eleven Republicans
and four Democrats. There vas a
strong feeling among the Senators
against the bill. They preferred
to favor the railroads even though
offending the party and disagree
ing with the President and the bill
could never have passed the Sen
ate were it not for the overwhelm-
ing public sentiment in its favor.
Whether the bill proves blessing
or not, one thing is certain. Pres
ident Roosevelt has made the gil
gantic and combined railroad in
terests and through them all other
corporate interests understand,
that the people are the masters and
not the servants of any corporation
however powerful they may be
financially.
The opponents to the measure
were among the strongest men in
the Senate; Morgan, Peters and
Foraker. They voted on conscien-
tious grounds and are not to be
condemned for their actions. Pres
ident Roosevelt has again won a
signal victory which makes a tow
er of strength among the people.

RUSSIA'S NEW PARLIAMENT.

What this new century has been is
the reality of new political and
religious freedom in the establish
ment and actually opening of the
two houses of law-making powers
of the Russian people. May 10th
marked this new epoch. That de-
cree will be the 4th of July of
Russian Independence. The open
ing session was inaueurated amid
cheers both omnious and patriotic
as each side looked upon the great
event. Emperor Nicholas surren-
dered by courtiers and all of the
pomp and panoply of power deliv-
cred the speech that set into mo-
