Last bight as I sat In the moonlight, i
I dreamed of you love far away ; I
A nd wondered if 3 on, too, were think- f
ing
Of me at the close of the day.
I rscalled the last blissful moments
That we spent 'neath its beauri'ul E
light,
To thee they are paps:d and forgotten,
But I'll always remember that night.
And now we are drifting-drifting,
Dawn through thi stream of life;
Never again will our ways cross,
'Til the ending of the strife.
But I'd have yen know my darllrg t
Tiat I have been faithful and true; <
Never forgetting the promise I
That I would always love you.
J.la', bow soon you have blighted
A life that was happy and bright,
When you went away dearest,
And left me o. that sad and beauti
ful night.
Whenever I see its beautiful beams,
My heart is filled with a longing
That com-s t> me oft in my dreams
To beh dd once again that dear
sweet face.
A face iaat is pictured in my heart,
Ani will be forever more,
Tbo' we lave drifted far apat t,
Since we pat ted long ago.
Good-bye, my love, may you never

HEALTH OF L HUNG CHANG.
A flatter of Grave Concern to Powers.
He Could Not be Replaced.
Pekin, March 17.-The health
of Li Hung Chang is again a
matter of grave consideration to
the ministers of the powers. Mr.
Rockbill, the American special
commissioner, who visited Earl
Li yesterday, says he is a wreck
an apparenty in a state of utter
collapse although mentally as
brilliant as ever. Mr. Rockhill
would not be surprised to hear
of his death at any moment.
The removal of Li Hung Chang
by death or any other cause at
the present moment would be very
unfortunate. M. de Giers, Rus
sian minister, said to-day:
"Li Hung Chang is a great
diplomat, and his influence with
the Chinese court is absolutely
unique. No other man approaches
him in this respect. His influence
is not temporary, but it is par
ticularly effective at important
moments in the history of China
powers object to his political
methiods and regard him as es
sentially a trimmer, nevertheless
they realize that he is the best e
possible man to represent, China
in the present emergency."
Orders have been received by
United States troops to depart
next month, leaving behind only
150 infantry.
The Germnan headquarters staff f
assert that their instrtections are I
"a great mistake," alleging that,
it is necessary to retain a large ti
body of foreign troops in the
a
country for at least two years.
Most of the ministers, however, -1
take a different view of the mat- e
ter, believing that the best course 1I
is to retain a few of the troops of '
eaeh nation and to withdraw the t
rest.

ENGLISHt PAPERS COMMENT. ~
Russia Reminded That Their Fleet is
as Potent as Ever.
London, March 18.-The Tien
Tsin correspondent of The Stan- g
dard says:
"The~ railway dispute here is
another* of the attempts of the b
Russian admiral, Alexieff, to e
create trouble and unless he is ti
renmoved .there will be constant j
friction, which will eventually ti
lead to hostilities. He loses no e
opportunity to thwart the Eng
lish."
Commenting editiorially upon b
its Tien Tsin advices The Stan
dard reminds Russia that "the r
British fleet is as potent as ever *
and Japan is burning to second ~
the efforts of any one ready to
oppose the annexation of Man- *
The morning papers recognize
the gravity of the situation at
Tien Tsin and counsel the govern- t
ment to be firm, but they express z
themselves less aggressively.
"A grievous blow has been in- I
flicted upon our reputation in the
far east," says The Daily Mail. ga
"Our weaknesses and unpre
paredness for war are well known
to our enemies and there is rea
son to expect further surprises i
in the diplomatic line. Before,
however, we can put our foot
down, the ex ire must be placed
in8h i o fer.o od ai

'he Daily News. "Russia is a
t object for graceful concessions,
nd not a small republic to be
ullied and provoked."
Iritsh Do no, Wish to Capture Gen.
Dewet.
London, March 16.-A special
ispatch from Durban, Natal,
ays the Boer commanders are
old g a meeting at Petersburg,
n nortlern Transvaal, to discus
he position and the advisability
f a continuation of the war.
Nhatever the result of the peace
egotiations between Gen. itch
er and Gen. Botha it is tolera
ly certain that the rumors of the
nelusion of Gen. DeWet in any
orm of amnesty are not based on
act. Gen. Kitchener's personal
-iews of the Boer leader are not
known in parliament but if the
war office was consulted the of
cials there would rather see
DeWet killed in action than taken
alive. One of the officials re
apnsible for the direction of the
Xirs-of the army said to a top
resentative of the AssociaMed
Piess; "I cannot see how Kitch
ener can possibly accept DeWet's
surrender. If he ever gets him
he will be obliged to try him for
his recent alleged murders of
prisoners. I have no doubt that
the verdict of either a military or
a civil court would be death and
if such a verdict was carried out
there would be a horrible howl
on the continent and in America.
And, indeed, one would be sorry
to see such a brave fighter meet
such an end. Therefore, we can
only hope DeWet will either got
out of the country or be shot in
battle."

The ease of J Owen who

Allowship at Pembroke college, c

he work done by the society for

go Mr. Owen was a mill hand at

,elf for the annual course of uni
rersity extension lectures, not
,hinking to attract any attention
o himself, but actuated simply
>y the love of learning. Two'of

by the exceptional aiility dis
played in the papers he wrote

& fund was raised amdpg their
friends and it was proposed to
Mr. Owen that he shodd go up
to Oxford as a matriculapd mem
ber of the university and\ should,
if possible, proceed to his degree.
The young mill hand witd his wife
settled in a mod age at
Oxford. Mr. Ow ew no
Greek and little L so that
"Smalls" were a fo e ob
stacle to him. After somf coach
ings, however, he was fairly
started on his academi'career.
Meanwhile he had entaed for
the Brackenbury scholaship in
modern history at Ball ~college.
The "field" for this aholarship
is always a large and sfong one.
From the Scotch uliversities,
sometimes from the provinical
universities in Englan , and al
ways from the publi schools,
great and small, come the best
youthful historians of the year.
Against such competit it was
hardly to be expect . that the
'extension scholar fro Dldham"
sould hold his own. B k to the
delight of his friends, - Owen
was elected.

During the spring of 189 he
ounty board of euainp
ropriated $230 for a circula~ng
;chool library. To hold ithe
rolumes County Supt. W.) 0.
Vright had constructed libiniy
oes, each strengthened with
ron braces and provided with
itout handles in addition toi a
ock and key. This cost only $25
Vith what remaind of the srna
ppropriated one thousand books
'ere purchased, making fity
rolumes to a bo!.
Twenty printed lists of booksi
'ere then gotten ready togetherl
ith rules to govern teachers in
he distribution of books. These ,
ere pasted on the inside lid of'
he boxes. Teachers were noti-I
jed that they could get boxes for
heir schools, could keep them
rom one to three months and
hen could secure a new' box in
~xchange.
Before the boxes were sent-out
ome statistics were gathered re
Lready done by the children. In
me school of sixty pupils only
ight had ever read a book other
han a text-book. In that same
;chool, three weeks after a box
iad been sent, it was reported
hat seventy-five books had been
ead. By the end of the school
erm of less than six months, up
wards of 970 books had been
ead by the pupils of this school.
[n the entire county over 10,000
were read in one term. Mr.
Wright contends that $230 in
vested in books was the best out
lay of money ever made in the
county. The average cost of the
books for the first year, including
freight and drayage, was only
twenty-three cents per volume.
For the second year the board of
education appropriated $275 in
addition to the original $230.
With this sum eighteen new
boxes, each containing thirty
books, were started on their way.
Observations on the preferences
of these Georgia children show
that they care for biography more
than for any other subject. Lives
of Washington, Lee, and Stone
wall Jackson are in special de
mand. Such books as Samuel
Smiles' "Self Help" are very pop

A Prize for Communication With
Other Planets.
"The sum of 100,000 francs
[$19,5001 was bequeathed to the
French Academy of Sciences in
1891," says The Scientijc Ameri
can, "to be awarded to the first
person who would be successful
in communicating with another
world. The Academy at first did
not care to accept such a curious
bequest, but finally it did so in
the following words: 'Madame
Veuve Guzmann, a friend of as
tronomy and a believer in the
plurality of inhabited worlds, ha
left to the Academy the sum ol
100,000 francs to be given as a
prize to the person who shall firsi
enter into communication of a'
astre other than the planet Mars.
The will wisely further stipulatef
that each time the prize has nol
