cond.tIon of African Slaves.

In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are
very slow to take advantage of the
regulations that give them the right
to claim their freedom says trav-
eler They realize that so long as
they are well used their position is
superior to that of the man whose
freedom Is his sole asset. | have
found the same attitude in North AT.
RIGA. From Morocco to Tripoli one
sees most of the slaves well content
and fourishing. The famine, the To-
Gusts, the drought and the tax col.
lector have no terror for them; work
keeps them healthy. they have enough
to eat and drink and the future has
no meaning mt all There is promo.

to governors and friends that elevate
a slave. If only in the eyes of his fel-
lows, and there is always chance
of manumission when the owner dies
and wishes to have some good deeds

WiDI rare exceptions, the Russian
peasants are lacking in education, So
briefly, industry energy and honestv.
They have the characteristics OF
race of slaves. and my own o5serva-
ton leads me to class them on the
while as on lower stage than the
negroes in our Southern states. They
are so suspicious of any one asking
questions that frequently they will
lie when it is to Their interest to tell
the truth. and they will use the great
est ing nuity in stealing and covering
their tracks; but they so totally lack
perseverance, as rule that it Is
lifiicult to turn their cunning to ac-
count
Some of these characteristics OK
tend high up. At the time that the
Hetvisan and Variag were being built
at the Cramps another vessel was be-
ing built for the Japanese navy, and
naval officers were here from both
countries to supervise the work. An
engineer who was detailed by the
Cramps to look after the foreign Of
iiccrs told me that the Russians did
little but drink, and seldom went near
their vessels. while tine Japanese
watched every piece that went into
construction and knew just what it
was meant to accomplish 1t is only

NOTED EDITOR DEAD.
Chas. Emory Smith Passed Away
at His Home in Philadel.
pSia on Sunday.

Charles Emory Smith, editor Of
The Press, former minister to
Russia and postmaster general,
died suddenly at his home IN Phil
adelphia on Sunday, aged 65 years.
Death was caused by heart trouble
Mr.. Smith was born in Mans.
field, Conn, on February 12, 1912.
de ceceived his early education at
Albany, n. Y, academy and sub.
sequently graduated from Union
College. During the period when
troops were being organized at
Albany in 1861, Mr.. Smith was ap-
pointed military secretary by Gen
errl John L. Rathbone. Later he
was made judge advocate general

Subsequently he was attached to

editorial position on the Albany
Express in 1870 Mr.. Smith went
to the Albany Journal, of which
publication he later became editor
in-chief. In 1880 he was gwen the
post of editor of the Press
As the result of his services

spring of 1898 he was given the
portfolio of postmaster general in

his tenure of office as postmaster

maine Nichols, at Elberton, n. j.,

JACKIES IN BRAWL.
Admiral Evans Cancels All Shore
Liberty for Crew Follow
ing Fracas.

RIO De JANERo, Jan. IA
row occurred last night between
some of the sailors from the Amer
ican heet and a number of the city's
rougher element, but it did not
amount to much beyond the ordi-
nary.
Some of the Americans were in
Il saloon where two Brazilian ne
groes became involved in a quar-
rel. One of the negroes threw a
bottle at the other, but missed him
and the missile hit q sailor. The
latter chased the negro from the
place, and thought the matter end
ed.
The negro, however. thought
differently. He obtained u big
knife, and returned to the saloon,
seeking vengeance. He attacked
the first sailor he saw, and 1t was
right here that he made mistake.
The sailor, before the negro could
deal an effective blow with his
weapon, handed him good right
American jolt on the jaw, and the
colored man withdrew from the
game.
His friends in the place jumped
in to even up things with the Amer
lean, whose countrymen at once
rallied to his assistance. a gener-
al mix-up ensued, in which three
men were slightly injured.
As soon as information of the
fracas reached Rear Admiral Ev-
ans he ordered that all the liberty
men be recalled to their ships.
The matter was investigated today,
and it was decided that the Amer
leans were IN no wise to blame for
the trouble.
This decision was concurred in
by the Brazilian authorities, and,
as result double the number of
men were allowed to 90 ashore to-
day, there being 1000 of them.
The local police are slow in
preserving peace. The affair has
not had the slightest effect upon
the cordiality displayed toward the
Americans by the Brazilians.
Admiral Evans has cabled full
account of the row to the secre-
tary of the navy at Washington.

My Greed.

DO not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead
Fill their lives with sweetness.
Speak approving cheering words
while their ears can hear them, and
while their hearts can be thrilled
and made happier by them; the
kind things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they go.
The flowers that you may send for
their collins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have
alabaster boxes laid away full of
fragrant perfumes of sympathy
and affection, which they intend to
break over my dead body, /
would rather they would bring
them out in my weary and troubled
hours and open them, that | NAV
be refreshed and cheered by them
while need them. / would rath-
er have a PLAIN coffin without a
flower, a funeral without eulogy,
than a life without the sweetness
of love and sympathy. Let us
learn to annoint our friends be-
forehand for their burial. Post
mortem kindness does not cheer
the troubled spirit. Flowers on
the coffin cast no fragrance back
ward over life's weary way.

"Go to the grounding, thou
sluYgard CONSIDER his ways aud he
wise is the parrphruse of the old
proverb which Thomas Cochran,
of Elk township, Chester county,
claims led him to discover the Sc
cret of long life.
Mr.. Cochran has just passed his
lOoth birthday, aud is an active
man, with all his senses acute and
his mind and memory unimpaired.
He attributes both his long life
and good health to the fact that
during the winter season he re-
mains in bed, never coming down
stairs. He adopted this mode of
life many years ago upon learning
of the extreme age to which some
groundhogs I've.
Cochran argues that this could
only be the result of their habit of
sleeping all winter, and concluded
it would work equally we'll for
human beings. lie, therefore,
commenced the practice, and found
it so successful that he has never
been out of the house during the
winter season since.
With the first cold snap, he goes
to be- and stays there until the
second day of February, which is
"groundhog day" Even then he
does not venture out himself, but
watches the people going to CAN
dIemas service, and if he sees their
shadow goes back to bed again;
otherwise he remains up and re-
sumes his usual duties.
He contends that Information is
the secret of the long lives of an
cient biblical characters, and sees
no reason why the people of today
should not live to be as old as those
of ancient times.

Attend School.

BY careful observer it can be
seen that IA number of young boys
frequent our streets during the
day who should be in the public
schools. 1t seems some pupils are
anxious to give up their scholar
ship in our public schools as soon
as they pass the compulsory school
law age and parents seem willing
to allow them to do as they please
about this. Parents who have the
future welfare of their children at
heart should encourage them to ge
all Of the knowledge they can. A
little education Is of times a dang
erous thing. 1t places a man in a
position where he thinks he knows
too much for manual labor and his
lack of thorough education keeps
him from getting a position where
knowledge is required. Under our
present excellent educational fa-
cilities there is no reason why the
coming generations should not
have a good education.
