Old and New in Zululand.

From the Southern Workman.
The distance which lies between the old
pOlygamous homesteads of South Africa
and the pretty Christian homes. thou
sands of which can now be seen clustered
in little villages with the church and the
schoolhouse in their midst, is as great as
the change In our civilization from tallow
dips to lncandescent lights. 1t is even
greater. for it involves moral and social
changes far greater than any material
change. For a native man and wife to
live together faithfully in the monoga-
nous relationship. even when the mar
riage is unfruitful, as I have seen Chris
tian natives do: for people. who have
known only the debasing relationship of
polygamy. to develop, as they have done,
the love and mutual interests OF Christian
man and wife, surpasses the change from
hut to house; yes. it transcends all mate
rial advancement
In the old days it was almost a mark
OF conversion for "a man to don a shirt
over his mutya of skins. That action has
now lost its significance, for most of the
heather men adopt that much of cviIiza-
ton. and thousands who are not rich in
other marks Of spiritual growth dress in
full and often elaborate European cos
tune. Yet there is always some eccen-
tricity of style or some color combination
which distinguishes the surface-cultivated
from the really deep-soil cultivated type.
For instance. boys of this superficial class
delight In the high-heeled boots and wide
bottom trousers. with large triangles of
white set into the dark-colored cloth at
the bottom of the trouser legs. Beads in
the hair and safety pins for jewelry are
other favorite adornments of this type
But really well-dressed natives with In
tellieent interest in styles and becoming
effects are at least common enough to en-
able many educated native girls to earn
their living at dressmakins.

THE DECLINE OF SILVER.
The Effect Which It Has Had in
Mexico.

From the Mexican Herald.
It is difficult to believe that Two years
ago bar silver was quoted in London a,
thirty-three pence the ounce. Roughly
speaking. II has fallen on some eleven
pence. and this makes an immense diff
ference to a silver producing country like
Mexico. Where most other commodities
have, of late years, been advancing in
price. owing in large part to the cheap
ening of gold. mined In increasing guam
tity, bar silver has proved an exception
to that rule. The demand for silver for
coinage has not been heavy. and the en-
ployment Of the white metal in the arts
has not been az extensive as it had been
predicted it would be.
1t is now said that the orientals. who
have found out that gold is the better
metal for boarding, are quietly selling
their silver. This means much for the
silver market, and for silver miners. The
east has enormous amounts of buried
and boarded silver, and these great guam
titles thrown on the market must have
depressing effect. Eminent British au-
thorities have recently pointed out tina,
both Egypt and India are boarding great
quantities of the newly coined colo
money. literally burying it out OF sight
Silver is sold and gold bought.
The effect here Of the low price OF
silver will be gradually, of course. to
stimulate interest in tropical agriculture.
Mexico has more than one string to her
bow. and should. in ten years. become
very heavy exporter OF those character
istic tropical products for which the Unit
ed States, Canada and Europe offer a
continually growing market.
This way out is the apparent one.
Irrigation and the subdivision of great
estates. and the encouragement Of white
immigration, will economically transform
this country which needs a largely con-
Stunning population to make a basis for
its industries and commerce.
Consumers above all things, if the coun-
try is really to prosper. No stupid anti
foreignism, but progress on cosmopolitan
lines. in emulation Of Argentina, for ex-
ample. Peru makes bid for foreign i'm
migration, and especially wants Ameri-
cans and Bntons who know how to make
a country grow. German settlers are in
active demand also, and especially in
Chile. Races Of men too much given to
the Simple life or few wants, will not
push new country forward. Merchants
and manufacturers want buyers for their
wares. and finance ministers are of the
same mind, for the consumer incidentally
pays taxes and fills national treasures.
Mexico has some great problems to
solve, and they will be all the more cas-
lily solved if the foreigner and foreign
money are popularity welcomed

vIRIlE AND C0lORFUl WORK
PAINTINGS AND ETCHINGS OF
AUGUSTUS KooPMAN SHOWN.
Collection to Be on View in the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art Until
Next Saturday Afternoon.

An exhibition Of paintings and ceilings
by Augustus koopman opened yesterday
IN the hemicycle hall OF the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. and will continue to the
end of the week. Mr. koopman is one
Of the younger American artists who has
made a name for himself both in this
country and abroad. He was born in
Charlotte. n. c.. in 1859. and studied
first at the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts. in Philadelphia. and then
under Bouguerreau and Robert Fleury in
Paris. In exhibitions OF the American
Art Association In the latter city he
successfully won prizes given by former
Senator w. A. Clark and John Wanna
maker and in the various expeditions
the merit Of his work has been given
recognition.
The Exhibition.
The present exhibition includes thirty
two oil paintings and nineteen water col
ors, as well as seven etchings. the ma
jority Of which have been produced with
In the past two years. The greater NUM-
Der of these exhibits have been executed
abroad and represent foreign scenes. AL
most without exception the paintings are
virile and colorful. Their brush work is
sprightly and positive-their point OF
view engaging. They are to a degree inn
pressionistic but their impressionism is
that of the modern Spanish painter
SorolIa or Domingo. rather than that Of
the French. Lacking. perhaps, in sub
tlety. occasionally crude. they are au-
thoritative, individual and delightfully."-
audacious.
Some Of the Pictures.
There are in the collection an excellent
picture of Niagara, breezy view of the
sea. After the Storm; sunny beach
scenes pictures Of a circus and colorful
studies Of Venice and Chiogga. Light
motion and color are. in almost every
instance, the keynotes. 1t is good, sturdy
art and worth remarking.
The collection, as 1t stands, has just
been exhibited under the auspices of the
COpley Society in Boston. and a number
of the paintings were earlier shown at
Goupi's. in London, in both of which
cities they have received favorable COM
ment. The exhibition closes Saturday
afternoon. l.. NJ.

The Uptown Drift.
From the Homilctic Reviey

From the HomlletIc Review.
The constant moving of the Weather
and more cultured to the suburbs or up
town is increasing each year. In my
church we have fourteen deacons, nine Of
whom live in the suburbs: eleven trus-
tees. with a similar proportion In
membership of 1.12l. 30 per cent live
from two to twelve miles away. Shall
we give these officers to the suburban
churches? Ii so, who Will man our down
town churches: Shall we surrender every
family moving away from the churches?
Then who will support these downtown
ctadels? While there are more people in
most downtown sections filling in about
the churches, they represent less brain
and money. These are stern facts. and
nothing is gained from concealing them.
Here have one of the most serious
problems confronting the pastors and
active members of the downtown
churches Either must overcome this
mass of largely poor and uniettered peo-
pie, or they will overcome us.
