WORK AMONG THECOLORED Statement Made by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. for Betterment of the Race—A Comparative Statement. The American Baptist Home Mission So- ciety has issued a statement regarding its work amoag the colored peopie in the south. The aim of the society is declared to be to uplift the negro race, mentally and morally, so that its members may be het- ter men and women, and, consequently, better citizens. The plan adopted is to give pupils, primarily, a good English education; secondarily, to fit men and women to teach others of their race, and, thirdly, to give to competent persons a liberal industrial training. It is desired to turn out men and women fitted to be wise, aggressive lealers for the masses of their race. The schools of the society are scattered throughout all the southern states, the principal ones being at Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, Nasn ° and Marshall. Besides being seminaries cf learning, they are nurseries for the moral development of men and women, 3nd cen- ters of missionary influence. The society's schools are a great improvement on the ordinary public schools of the south. The buildings of the latter are usualiy small and CUBA must be directed “Per Seguranca.” | and mean.

The officers of the society believe It wise to encourage their proteges to assume charge of their own educational affairs as soon as possible. They appoint negroes as teachers, trustees and financial agents, and have laid upon them, so far as it seemed wise, the burden of responsibility, while sharing with them the honors of the work. More than half the negro schools aided by the society are under the exclusi con- trol of negroes. The society exercises no authority over them whatever, but it ex- tends financial. aid to them on condition that their work is satisfactory. While in the schools controlled still by the society it is sought to increase as much as possi- ble the negro representation on the boards of management, the officers believe that it would be an unkindness to the negroes in their present stage of advancement to turn over to them absolutely all of the schools that have been established and maintained for their benefit. The colored people are not vet prepared financially or otherwise for that responsibility. The Home Mission Society aims to de- velop strong characters among the pupils, to train the conscience and the will, so that the students may be able to resist temptation and to perform their obligations in any sphere of life; to impart to educa- tion a practical bent, so that students may go prepared to perform their common duties and earn their own living, and to be industrious, economical, thrifty and seif- reliant; to make them acquainted with the Bible, so that they may reverence it and be influenced practically by it in their thoughts, feedings and activities, and to awaken in them an abiding thirst for knowledge and aspiration after excellence in character and conduct. Work on Professional Lines. Attention is called to the fact that there is very inadequate provision in the south for giving members of the colored race a professional training as teachers, physi- cians and preachers, yet it is decided the liberal education of a class of men destined to have a powerful effect in guiding this great body of American ciuzens, and through them affecting the welfare of the repubiic, was surely a matier of the kighest importance to the nation. ‘To altow this mz of Afro-Americans to increase in numbers and influence, without affording them an opportunity fcr acquiring a competent ed- ucation, was regarded as a menace to our civilization. To endow Yale and Columbia universities magnificently, and neglect to srovide for some degree of culture for 8,- 900,000 colored citizens, it 1s asserted, was like building at the top and neglecting the foundation. All the educational facili , it is stated, “for white persons, male and female, in the north are immensely superior to what they were a generation ago. The youth of the negro race have not been favored in pro- portion. It is incontrovertiSle that the ne- groes are fallirg each year further behind their white compeiitors in mental develop- ment. This is ascribable to the fact that the many new educational institut! established in the last thirty years have been for use of white persons exclusively. No great university has been established for the negro. Changes in Conditions. “The changes witnessed in the condition of the negroes of the south since the so- ciety began its work emong them, some thirty years ago, have been great. At that time among the 4,000,000 negroes emerging from bondage very few could read or write. Now the vast majority have a fair English education. Thirty years ago there were no public schools for negroes in the south. Now every southern state contains a pub- Ne school system for their benefit. Then even the negro pastors were utterly ignor- ant of books; now there are very few pas- tors unable to read. Thousands of them are educated fairly well, while others are graduates of colleges or theological semi- varies. Then there was not a college nor professional school of any kind open to the negro anywhere in the south; now there ere academies, colleges, normal echools and theological seminaries, law schools and medical schools all over that region, Ccoing invaluable work. Then the — prejudice against negro education among the white people in the south was almost universal; now that prejudice is vanishing cvery- where, and in many parts of the south has been replaced by hearty sympathy and co- operation. ———— A New Death Machine. From the Chicago Chrontele. Whether or not the stroke of the guillo- tine causes instant death, it is more than likely that the raising of the question by Dr. Cinel will banish the machine which owes its origin to the reign of terror. For months past the French. government has had in its hands a machine superior to the guillotine in rapidity of action, which causes no distortion of visage and produces no sear. ‘The machine, which has been named “L'Executioner” by its inventor, Francois Esclangon, a well-known scientist and the editor of the Parisian Le Monde Scientif- ique, is like the helmet worn by a fourteenth century cavalier. From the top curves a long, hollow bar of steel, dividing near its end into two portions, which approximate closely two holes in the helmet near the up- per portion. é In the cavity of this bar are placed two cartridges, run on grooves made in the carved bar and attached to long, curved needles. In the helmet are two holes fitted with disks which can be made to revolve until they come into opposition with the eyes of the victim. The apparatus is in communication with a battery on a table volve and at the same time to plunge for- ward and bury themselves deep in the frontal lobes of the brain, destroying in- stantly a large portion of the white matter of the cerebrum. Death is instantaneous and painless, and only a simple prick at the angle of each eye shows how the dead man passed. BEE ES ES His Program.

Its Use and Objections to tts Use in Batlding Warships. From Cassier's Magazine. “Apropos of non-inflammable wood, one variety of which is now being very strong- ly advocated for use in United States naval vessels, it would seem pertinent to add to what was recently said on the subsect in these pages, that, according to official re- ports of such trials as have been made of the material on American warships, the wood was liable to dampness and rot, and the decks consisting of it wore down, show- ing that it was soft and had no life. It was believed, also, that it was friable, and would splinter badly when under fire, and this last mentioned defect, if existent, would alone constitute a very serious draw- back to its use. It would, indeed, empha- size the desirability, not of fire-proof wood, but of no wood at all. What would appear to be more preferable in many respects is asbestos, or some similar material, either as cardboard for lining metal surfaces, or built up in a grooved or cellular form for bulkheads. Such material would, of course, be absolutely uninflanimable, and a shot through it would make a clean hole, with no splinters whatever. “With the later report that all wood to be used in the new vessels of the United States navy will be fire-proofed, comes also a daily newspaper interview with Chief Constructor Philip Hichborn, United States navy—the only one, by the way, of the four members of the United States board of naval construction who advocates the use of such fire-proofed wood—according to which he says that the process to be fol- lowed of rendering wood non-inflammable, simply stated, consists of withdrawing all sap and moisture from the lumber in vacuum, and then filling the pores with phosphate of ammonium. But this is sub- stantially the Pepper process, doubtlesss with valuable improvements in detail, while adhering to the phosphate of ammonium, which was found, on the whole, to give the best results in making wood non-in- flammable. This particular virtue of phos- phate of ammonium has been known for years to chemists, yet the British, French and German navies have been able to make little or no use of it, though all three have spent considerable amounts of money in trying to discover an efficient non-inflam- mable wood for their warships. It might be urged that its practicai rejection hither- to for warships was due altogether to the fact that these navies wanted a non- splintering, as well as a non-inflammable, wood. But this contention falls to the ground when it is remembered that the British mercantile marine, which need have no fear of wood splinters from shell fire, has been equally ardent in its search for | a satisfactory non-inflammable wood, with- out, apparently, finding it. Moreover, so far as is known, ali the salts of ammo- nium are soluble in water—most of them extremely so—and if phosphate of ammo- nium is an exception to the rule, Rosc forgets to mention it. Nothing could be more calculated to set the minds of a ship's officers and men at rest during a battle than the consciousness that, happen what might, their ship could not take fire; but nothing could be more expressly planned to start a panic among men engaged in action than the sudden discovery that the so-called non-inflammabie wood was on “ire, owing to its chemical constituents having become leached out by washings and evap- oration.” os ENGLISH PIPE A MYTH. It is British in Name, bat is of Ameri- can Manufacture. From the New York ‘Tribune. “Bring me a nice pipe from London.” An American line steamer was moving gracefully away from her berth, people on board and others on shore were waving handkerchiefs and hats, “good-bye” and “pleasant journey” were shouted a!l along the line, and above the din could be heard the order, haif pleading, half imperative, “Don’t forget the pipe.” As the crowd turned back a man who had witnessed the inspiring spectacle and heard the order said: “Isn't it strange that lish pipe’ should be one of the that a man thinks of bringing country from abroad, when, is no such thing as an Eng- ck in fact, the lish pipe?” It is true that the pipe is more popular Sngland than it is in this country, and that the shops keep large supplies and a great assortment of the goods, but neither the English people nor their visitors from the United States know that the pipes of the purest English pattern are made in France. The dealers in the United States are better posted than the consumers, and to them the term English pipe has long been known to apply to the French article, and of recent years to the superior home- made pipe. An English trade journal of recent date says: “Another of our indus- tries is practically threatened with extinc- tion on the other side of the Atlantic. This is the trade in brierwood pipes, which used to be imported to a very large extent into the United States, either from England or France. Now, however, the brierwood pipes used throughout the states are al- most entirely made there, and that not only in the cheapest but in the best qual- ities.’ Before the large pipe manufacturing con- cerns were established in this country Vienna was the mgfket for meerschaum and Paris for brierwood gcods. The pipes were made in small shops and in the homes of the pipemakers, and delivered to central offices and warerooms, where th were assorted, packed and shipped. This method is still in vogue to a great extent in Euro- pean manufacturing towns. Women and children do the work, which is finished later by skilled workmen and mounted with tips, rretal, ete. The brier root which is used in the man- ufacture of the goods comes from France in crude blocks. These blocks are cut in pipe-outline shapes, and are made into plain and goods. Of these blanks” about fifty thousand gross are used in the United States every year. In scientific circles the materia! from which the pipes are made is known ay the root of Erica arborea, or white heath. This is a shrub usually of stunted growth, but often growing to a large size. It is found in the south of France and in Corsica. After the earth has been removed from the roots and they have been sawed into pipe blanks they are placed in a vat and jected to a gentle simmering for about twelve hours. This precess makes the wood perfectly clean, and also gives it the yellowish brown hue which is most de- sirable in good pipes. xt ——— The Travels of a Bottle. From the Johannesburg (Africa) New: When the Natal volunteers were return- ing from England after having taken part in the jubilee celebrations, Sergt. T. M. Owens of the Natal Carabineers, in the presence of the rest of the company, scrib- bled a note, inclosed it in a bottle, sealed the bottle and threw it over the shi This incident took place on June 5 while Umfuli was off the coast of Spain. The other day Mr. Owen recelved a copy of “The Barbados Advocate” of June 1%. 1898, ccntaining the following paragraph under the heading of “Adrift: “This is from Lighthourner’s mail notes, St. Thomas: ‘A bottle containing the fol- lowing was picked up by James Pen on May 12 at the Island of Great Guawanas, northeast of Eortola: “June 5, 1897—This paper is thrown into the sea by the Natal volunteers, about 16 degrees longitude, 30 degrees latitude, with the curiosity to learn if it will ever reach land.—T. M. Owen, Maritzburg, Natal.”"" The bottle, it ealculated, traveled over 3,000 miles be- tween the time it was consigned to the Waves and when it was picked up in the West Indies. It would seem to have taken almost a straight course across the North Atlantic ocean, following the trade route from England to South America. ‘The time occupied was nearly twelve months. Lions on the Increase. From the Birmingham Post. In several letters received by the last mail from East Central Africa mention is made, I am told, of the unusual number of lions that have made their appearance in the country. One well-known hunter, whose experience of Bast Africa ranges over many years, says that these anima-s are a per- tect terror, not a night passing without one or more of the brutes breaking into a Masai village and carrying off people or live stock. On one occasion recently a lion stalked into a camp, and, in spite of ali that could be cone. carried off a Swahili porter from withiff a few feet of a bright watch fire, where there were men awake on guard. Masailand is otherwise de- scribed gs a magnificent country, teeming with of all kinds, and as healthy as can be for Europeans. <a If you want work read the want columns of The Star. ; Nor, it must be confessed, TRAVELING FOR HEALTH Counsel for Those Making Plans for the Winter.

But it shows that no amount of civilization can shut out superstition. ‘The faith in mere change of country and of scene, which will m sending ro many of our countrymen and countryw men, like the swallows, to warmer climes, has, no doubt, much to justify it. For the weak constitutions that ar? always on the verge of breaking down there is undoubt- edly less risk in the constant sunshine and baimy air of southern Eurove than in the severe and changeable climate of our own islands, and it often happens that a threat- ened breakdown is averted, and an imp i: constitution re-established, by a winter two spent abroad.

From the Fishing Gazette. Now that the sardine canning season fs drawing vo a close, we are able to make a pretty correct estimate of the season's work. At nesrly every sardine station on the New England coast the pack has been tnusually good. In the early part of the year there were Indications that pointed to a scanty supply of fish. This continued for only a short time, and then the supply came unasally plentiful, and continued so til! the fish suddenly became scarce. This eve rise to all sorts of wild reports being sent out to the effect that sardines would b+ short, and the price of the raw fish was {run up to $10 a hogshead in some cases. This shortage proved only temporary. The fish began running again in ample abun dance, and the season will close with an aggregate pack of unusual size. It is also believed the quality will be above the aver- age. No doubt there has been a great deal of poor stuff put up, it the leading fac- tories have been striving efter better grades and better prices. Eastport, Me., contains probably the most extensive sardine industry in the world 1t has tweaty large sardine factories, and the total pay roll will sometimes reach as hign as $20,000 a week. The Broad Cove Packing Company (burned several days ago) wa: rot 2s large as some factories in that city, yet the weekly pay roll was often from $1,000 to $1,599, and _ $2,000 has been paid out in more than one Eastport factory for help during a week. The facilities for shipping Sardines from Eastport have also improved very materially. The steamer City of Phil- adelpnia has been on the route between that city and New York for several months. making weekly trips, and each time she has carried from 10,000 to 16,000 cases to New York. The steamers of the I. 8. 8. Company buve carried many thousand cases of sardines to Boston during ihe year, and recently engine No. 3 of the W. C. R.R. havled out 2,600 cases, which were shipped west. Besides the sardines, a quantity of mackerel has been canned by the packers, ee aaver ce on the market un- the name of trout,” “blue fis
