BELGIAN KonQo,

Belgian Kongo. founded thirty years
ago, is still in the early stage Of devel-
opment- So far practically no manu-
featuring industries have yet been es-
tablished, and, aside from the impor-
tant copper mines in the Katanga dis
trict, the only large industrial enter
prises are the railways and river trans
portation services. It may be said that
all business activities in the colony are
devoted to the collection of tropical
products rubber. ivory, gum copal,
palm oil and kernels, cacao, etc.-and
the railway and river services are in
reality only accessories to these activi-
ties, having been established primarily
to aid in the transportation Of these
products to the seaports. The gather
ing Of rubber in Kongo has never re-
covered its former activity, and in all
probability will never again be so rich

was previous to 1912

Ballads as Newspapers.

The ballad, or that form Of it which
Is associated with the broadside, was
one predecessor of the newspaper as a
commentator on events. 1t was writ
ten for the people and sold to the peo-
pie. Printed on poor paper and passed
from hand to hand. copies Of early bal
lads were seldom preserved. Fortu-
nately several men of the seventeenth
century began to make collections of
ballads, and the copies of broadsides
printed before 100 that are now In ex-
istence are supposed to number about
10000. Soon after 100 the printed
form Of the ballad was changed. the
"black letter" disappearing. but the
ballad continued as a chronicler Of hap
penings and a commentator on politi-
cal. military and other public events
until the middle of the nineteenth CEN
fury and in the United States as well
as England. The topical song Of to-
day perpetuates the satirical function
Of the ballad.-Springfeld Republican.

Geography.

Geography is the sum total Of an the
places In the map that we don't know
about Geography Is made up of
boundary lines, river lines. dots and
clashes like a telegraph system and
shaded places which represent the
nigh spots. 1t Is also colored to suit
the taste and in such a manner that 1t
takes a bacteriologist to make you
know the difference between the sea
ana the dry land Historical geogra-
ply is ordinary geography with what
ever you don't know about history
added to it Historical geography con-
s1sts OF migrations. ceilings and other
nora and fauna to suit. To make a
historical geography get a few races
and distribute them according to your
fancy over a pink area in various
shades to show how they spread out
As a matter Of fact, they did nothing
OF the sort But that makes the his
torical geography all the more inter-
estng. In the hands Of schoolteach-
ers Biographies are frequently believed
In for years by confiding pupils.-Life

HIs Little Lot.

There were some interesting episodes
in the life Of Sir Charles Euan-Smfth.
Once in the market place Of an Az
ghanistan town he was fired at by q
native. He lodged complaint with
the ameer, who appeared to take no
notice Of the incident, merely remark
ing, THAT'S all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than it deserv-
ed, but thought 1t advisable to say no
more on the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed gibbet after gibbet. At length
Sir Charles said, "Your highness has
been busy of late" "Oh, no." replied
the ameer; they are your little lot"
He had seized all the members Of the
would be assassin's family and hanged
every one Of them.

Ship Money.

Charles /. was badly in need of mon
ey, and his attorney general In the
course Of his antiquarian researches
discovered that in the dim ages Of the
past the crown had issued writs to the
cities and towns on the coast requiring
them to provide vessels for the royal
needs, and he suggested that this an
cient right might be brought into use
again. Instead Of the actual vessels a
money contribution might be exacted
instead. Thus the king would be able
to tax a larger part Of the realm while
theoretically observing the laws. Writs
for ship money were accordingly is
sued, but the patriot John Hampden
declared that they were illegal and
raised such a protest against them
that they were practically nullifed

Fortune In Earthinas.

Il Is well known that shopkeepefs
make pounds by ignoring farthings or
by giving something for them that Is
worth far less than a farthing, but
where shopkeepers make the pounds
banks and the English government
make their hundreds Of pounds. II a
farthing Il due from you in taxes you
are charged onepence. On the other
hand, you are never paid onepence for
q farthing.
The same principle Is applied to frae-
lions Of pounds. Banks in reckoning
interest for themselves call any part
Of Fl a full pound, whereas In reckon
ing interest for you odd shillings are
left out Of account Thus for a de-
posit Of eco ga 10 you would receive
interest ON 200 only.
II Is amazing how the state profits
by not paying fractions Of pence
The government has a special fund
IN which are placed the fractions OF
pence withheld In paying dividends on
government stock. This fund amount
ed to more than f150O0O In ten years
before being used for other purposes
As far as the government Is concern
ed, farthings mean q lot-London An

Be Natural.

Holmes says that there are six peo-
pie present whenever two meet In con-
versation-the real A, the real B, A as
he sees himself, B as he sees himself,
A as B sees him and B as A sees him.
The remark comes back when one
goes out upon the street and considers
himself and the other people who pass,
particularly those who seem on the
slippery road to success. 1t is not they
themselves who go by; it Is what they
would have other people think them
If they are young and inexperienced
they must tighten up their faces with
an artificial solemnity; If they are get
ting on In years they must affect an
artificial snappiness. They wear their
outward aspects like clothes.
One feels like crying I'm the ears Of
young men: "Be natural Live or die,
sink or swim, survive or perish, but be
yourselves."-New York Globe.

they can behold bold Phoebus In his

flower" should perish through ''unttme-
ly tempest" Milton laments the "rathe
primrose that forsaken, dies" and
many later poets have written of It In
similar strain. Why? For the prtm-
rose Is hardy plant and Will be found
