W hen the Prince De Joinrille was at Bathurst many rears ago he was received by the Royal African Corps black troops officered by white men’ He attended a dinner party, wherein mulattoes appeared in full evening dross, low bodices, lace handkerchiefs, and fans. Afterward, dining at Washington with Charles Sumner, the great abolitionist, the Prince amused himself by telling about his Bathurst dinner. and asked Sumner whether he had ever given his arm to a negress. The Prince awaited his answer with some curiosity, to see whether he would dare answer in the affirmative before the American ladles, who were quite sensitive on the color question, but he got ont of it very adroitly. "My dear Prince," said he, “ in every religion each man has his own share of work. I preach and you practice. Don’t let us mil the two things up together.”

MANY WOMEN SUFFER FROM LACK OF 15FORMATION. Doctors Are Too Reserved. A Woman Should Be Dealt With Openly.

In the treatment of female diseases men work from theory: and it is not to be expected that they can treat as intelligently those complaints from which they have never suffered, as a woman can who has made the organism and diseases of her sex a life study. Women afflicted with female diseases are wise in communicating promptly with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Their distressed condition is due to womb trouble, and their symptoms tell the story. Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound is the one remedy that removes

the cause, and restores health, courage, an<l happiness. The druggists sell more of it than all other female medicines. Why ? The following short letter speaks for it-, self. Mrs. Parker is a very young wife; only twenty-one years old. She was suffering untold misery when she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham forad- ( vice, See tiie result.

the public schools. importance of commodious PLAYGROUNDS. Children Must Have Room in Which to Exercise— What Becomes of Woman Graduates-Practice of Giving College Degrees Is Denounced. Reform Is Needed. J he experience of older cities has been of incalculable value to the founders and managers of public schools in the west. We have profited by adopting what was best in the older sections of the country, and avoideu their errors to a large extent The result is school buildings of the most approved and convenient type, in the construction of which the health of the children is a prime consideration. As a rule commodious playground surrounds the buildings, thus combining two important elements in the physical well-being of pupils. After years of agitation Philadelphia has awakened to the importance of playgrounds around schools. "It lias always been difficult for the people in the closely built portions of the Quaker City," according to the Times, “to know what to do with their children in play hours. The parks are distant, the public squares infrequent, and the streets, the only place left for poor children to play, are practically forbidden to them by the necessities of rapid railway travel. Playgrounds of some sort have thus become an urgent necessity. The yards of the school houses are very inadequate, but they arc the only thing available for this purpose and their use is so obvious that every one who thinks about it must wonder that it was not thought of before. “The good people who have brought about this very simple provision for the comfort of the children, and have undertaken the necessary care of the school yards and of those using them, are entitled to gratitude and support. But the fact that there are so very few' school houses in the city surrounded by playgrounds of any considerable size calls attention to a very serious error or oversight that ought to be avoided In the future. It would be difficult and eostly uow to enlarge the spaces surrounding most of the existing school houses, but the new schools are usually in advance of the population, and wherever a public school house is to be built, care should be taken to secure sufficient space to provide an adequate playground, for use both during the school session and in the summer vacation.

“Our public schools have not kept pace with private schools iu the recognition of the importance of physical care aud recreation. With all the advance in methods of instruction, attention is fixed on the class room only, and the playground has been forgotten. Yet healthy bodies are essential to the formation of healthy minds, and a first step in this direction would be to give the children abundant breathing space and room In which to exercise when out of school.” College Decrees. The New York World, under the head of “Humbug College Degrees,” says: In again refusing to accept a college degree as doctor of laws President Cleveland has set a good example. It is also a badly needed example. The country has a large variety of humbugs. Some of them are more or less harmless, but the man who goes around pretending to be a master of all the arts, a teacher of all the laws and a laurelcrowned expert in all the sciences, when as a matter of fact he could not pass an honest examination for teacher in a primary school, is a very pernicious humbug indeed. The number of such humbugs is already large and it is increasing. Some of them never saw a college in their lives. More, however, are college graduates. Some of them are even college professors Soule are the authors of pretentious volumes on learned subjects in which profound ignorance is concealed by still more pro found, obscurity. But no matter where found they one and all set up for 22degree Brahmins, sole oracles of learning and sole keepers of the altar before which the profane must offer their sacrifices of ghee. Mr. Cleveland has done well not to become one of these. He has acted nobly in resisting the temptation to become a humbug doctor of laws. We Teach Them Cruelty. The Indian brings to his papoose a miniature bow and arrow that he may begin in infancy his training as a future hunter. The civilized man brings to his baby a whip; he doubtless could not say for what reason, but the lesson is one in cruelty. With this whip he is taught to strike the eat, the dog. his brothers, and even his parents. The person who is struck pretends to cry, and every one else laughs, and so he is taught to take pleasure in the sufferings of others; for he has no comprehension of the fact that' the manifestations of pain are only a pretense. If no whip is at hand, he perhaps is taught to pound with his fists, to strike with open palm, or to pull hair, stimulated to increase these demonstrations by the encouraging laughter of lookerson. It is “so cute” in the baby. By-and-by when, in a fit of angry disobedience, be strikes mamma in the face, he is surprised to be struck by her in turn, and no doubt wonders at her injustice, as well iie may. In the spirit of retaliation, which is a spirit of cruelty, children are taught to strike the chair or door against which they have fallen, and to say, “Naughty chair, to hurt baby.” The child does not distinguish, by reason, between revenging himself upon an inanimate object and upon a person; so it is not surprising that, when be is hurt by some otic, accidentally or not, he flies at the person in a fury and

putß into practice ttie lesson be received in regard to the chair. < ruelty to animals is often taught by the acts of older people. The father kicks the cat or dog. and. when remonstrated with, replies angrily, “Let it keep out of my way, then;” and the child imbibes the idea that dumb creatures have no rights which creatures who can swear and scold are bound to respect; and. instigated by the former lessons of taking pleasure in the sufferings of others, amuses himself by tying tin cans to the dog’s tail, or swinging the cat by hers. A refinement of cruelty is often taught children by the unkind remarks of older persons concerning those who are unfortunate in birth or surroundings. The Small Boy on Essay Writing. I don t beiieve ’twas hard to do, When Homer wrote to Troy; There were no rules for him to watch, No grammars to annoy. He had no slang to guard against—lie spelt the easiest way; The subjects were not threadbear th-n Because he had first say. And Dante had it easy, too. In Florence when he wrote; He made each phrase as he went on; There were no words to quote. The common talk of every day Was good enough to use; "Too trite” was something never heard, There were no terms to choose. Old Chaucer had no task at all; He w rote what came along; He put down just what people said And couldn’t spell words wrong. You see no one had tried before To write this brand-new speech, Sa Chaucer fixed it his own way For all the schools to teach. It wasn’t bad when Shakspeare lived; The right no one could tell; There wer? no dictionaries then— No wonder he wrote well. Now’ it gets harder all the time; Each word must mean just so. The very turn you’d like the best Is one that will not go. —Journal of Education. Women Gradu item. An English review, mindful of the class curious to know what becomes of the women graduated from the universities of that country, finds that of the 720 who have been at Newnham between the years 1871 and 1893, 37 were foreigners, who have gone home, and whose subsequent career is unknown; 1G have died, 374 are engaged in teaching, 47 of this number being married, and 230 are living at home, 108 of the latter number having married. Os those who lr ,ve been at Girton since its foundation to the year 1893, 4G7 students in all. 335 have completed their course, 123 are teaching, and 45 are married. The Girton statistics show that while the young women who obtain the honor-degree certificates marry, not as many of them marry as of those who take the ordinary pass degrees. But that does not seem to prove anything, because the number of honor students is usually much smaller than the other class of students. Educational Notes, Eton, the most famous of British public schools, now has 1,019 students. Among them are four earls and seven eldest sons of peers. Miss Ida A. Morgan, a young woman of negro blood, has been rejected for a place in the schools of Providence solely on account of her color. Harvard has just given its diploma to 678 graduates, Yale to 575 and the University of Michigan to 691. Never before were there so many college-bred men and women in the world as to-day. The latest catalogue of Harvard University records the names of 19,335 graduates, of whom 10,179 are living, Dr. Furness of Philadelphia being the senior alumnus. Four classes, 1821, 1824, 1825 and 1830, are extinct. A count of all the degrees granted by the college since its foundation turns up 22.260 and one of the latest of them is hat of A. M. conferred upon Joseph Jefferson, the actor. Philadelphia recently honored the memory of Stephen Girard, and his name has many claims to be associated with those of Peun and Franklin. It was the old Quaker merchant w ho led the relief movement in the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, who advanced to the government in 1812 the $5,000,000 necessary to secure the treaty of Ghent, and who left for a college an endowment which now amounts to $14,000,000. An English educationalist of reputation proposes to introduce into the education of young women and girls the principles of chivalry toward the male sex. He maintains that this has been entirely neglected in the teaching of girls, and while boys have been taught to pay due deference to women, the girls have not been taught that they owed any consideration to any one, either of their own or the opposite sex. The result has been selfish and inconsiderate women who accept ail chivalrous attentions from men as a right, without a thought that they owe even the courtesy of a thank-you in return. At the recent commencement of Johns Hopkins University two gifts were announced iu memory of the late Prof. George Huntington Williams, who was a son of Robert S. Williams, of Utica. Mrs. Mary Wood Williams, his widow, gave a sum sufficient to establish a lectureship in commemoration of her husband, and the trustees of the university have invited as the first lecturer Sir Archibald Geike, of London, director of the Geological survey of Great Britain and Ireland, and one of the most eminent of living geologists. On the same occasion a tine oil portrait of Prof. Williams was presented to the university by a memorial committee, representing Dr. Williams’ former students and colleagues.

J. Meals of the City of Canton, Stark County, Ohio: "I had an attack of the Grippe four years ago this spring that left me in a bad way. My nervous system was broken down and my digestive apparatus in a condition that made me miserable for days. "While able to w ork at my trade, as shearman in a rolling mill, I suffered more or less all the time with my stomach. Bitters and tonics were literally taken by the gallon, and every variety of pills and potions that promised relief. I derived some benefit from the use of some of them if I continued taking them, but if I quit a few days myoid trouble would return. Noticing the advertisement of the Ripans Tabules. for impaired and bad digestion, I concluded to invest in a few of them, which I am pleased to inform you have proven all or more than I expected of them. While I have taken but a few of them, they have done me more good than aii the other remedies that I have tried. They relieve the belching and sour stomach almost at once, and I feel better in every way since I commenced taking them. The distressing headaches, which I always had preceding a fit of indigestion, have entirely left me. I will be glad to recommend the Tabules to anybody suffering from stomach troubles. (Signed) Thos.
