PRACTICAL KINDNESS.

One Hundred Thousand Grateful Soldiers. These war times have tried men’s souls in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud of privation and endurance has been the work that The Americar. Tobacco Co. has done among the U. S. soldiers and sailors ever since the wr.r began—for when discovered that the camps and hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they decided to provide them, free of cost, with enough for every maa, and have already given outright to our soldiers and sailors over one hundred thousand pounds of “Battle Ax Plug” and “Duke’s Mixture” Smoking Tobacco, and have bought and distributed fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a total cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. This work has been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquarters in each camp so that every camp and every hospital of the United States army has been supplied with enough tobacco for every man and the sailors on thirty United States ships in Cuban waters have •shared with the soldiers this most welcome of all “rations.” Perhaps it will be only fair to remember when we hear the remark again that “corporations have no souls,” that there is one American corporation whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting in “practical kinduess.”

Revolutionary Scholars.

Rev. George Channing wrote an account of the school of Iris youth, which he attended just after the revolution. Girls and boys attended together the primary school, and sat on seats made of round blocks of wood of various heights, which were furnished by the parents. Children bowed and kissed the teacher’s hand on leaving the room. The teaching of spelling was peculiar. It was the last lesson of the day. The master gave out a long word, say multiplication, with a blow of his strap on <hds desk as a signal for all to start together, and in chorus the whole class spelled out the word in syllables. The teacher’s ear was so trained and acute that he at once'detected any misspelling. if this happened he demanded the name of the scholar who made the mistake. If there was any hesitancy or refusal in acknowledgment he kept the whole class until, by repeated trials of long words, accuracy was obtained. The roar of the many voices in different keys, could be heard on summer days for a long distance. —The Chautauquau.

EMPEROR OF CHINA AND HIS MOTHER.

EMPEROR KUAN'G HSU.

CHINESE EMPEROR ABDICATES.

Dowager Empress Supreme and Proposed Reforms Are Impossible. An imperial edict issued at Pekin announces that the Emperor has abdicated in favor of the dowager empress. The latter has ordered that henceforth the ministers shall deliver their official reports to her. The edict says the Emperor three times requested the Empress to reassume the government, and that she yielded at the third request. It is difficult to learn accurately what is happening iu the palace. There is little doubt that the reform edicts led to the deposition of the Emperor. The Dowager Empress was content to let the Emperor alone so long as he was merely a figurehead, but when he initiated or sanctioned a policy that was opposed to her views she compelled him to abdicate. Numerous rumors are in circulation, some of which are alarming. One report has it that the Dowager Empress is actuated by the determination to ba tile Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman, who, it was understood, visited Pekin for the purpose of arranging an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan. When the Emperor received Marquis Ito in audience the other day hi’ showed him great honor, and expressed the hope that he would give advice respecting the proposed reforms. Another report says that violent scenes occurred between the Dowager Empress and the Emperor in the Tsung-li-Ynmen. The Empress is believed to be greatly incensed by Russia's passivity and by the degradation of Li Hung Chang, and is now courting Russia with all her might.

Large Party Reaches Seattle with About SIOO,OOO in Dust. The steamer Humboldt arrived at Seattle, twelve days from St. Michael’s, Alaska, with 230 passengers from Dawson City.

THE TEMPLE DOESN’T PAY.

Mrs. Steven* of the W. C. T. U. Spcaka of the Chicano Knterpriae. Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, acting national presrideikt of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of America, ami State president of the Maine organization, delivered an address at the State convention in Bangor, Me. The important portion of her remarks related to the situation of the union relative to the Woman’s Temple in Chicago. She raid: “The building has never brought revenue to the society; on the contrary, morn than $200,000, mostly from white-ribboners, has been speDt in floating the enterprise, while the National W. T, U. has paid and is paying to-day regular rent for its offices in the Temple. Hence, in giving up the Temple the W. <’. T. U. has nothing to lose, but much to gain."

ITALY THREATENS COLOMBIA.

Complain* to the United State* of Colombia’* Bad Faith. The Italian Government has called the attention of the Government of the United States to the incorrect attitude of the Government of Colombia and demanded that the latter respect its treaties; otherwise Italy reserves to herself the right to adopt the energetic measures toward Colombia which were recently abandoned in deference to the United States. Advices received at Colon from Bogota, the capital of Colombia, say that all relations between Colombia and Italy have been severed owing to the action of the Italian Government in the Cerruti affair, which the Colombian officials considered arbitrary and in violation of the treaty of 1892, which was thereby annulled.
