The treatment accorded to the native Billions of the Congo Free Stat by ting Leopold's agents Is now a matter if spirited controversy. There is ap parently as much need of a "huuiaue society" among the nations as tuerti si of looking after the defenseless dashes of a great city. A light heart is a great help to work top hands. A New Orleans newspaper prints a talk with a man who Rays he kaa known a great many cotton-plant-ira who would not hire a negro cotton picker unless they were satisfied that the negro sang as he worked. The best pickers are generally the best singers. ' The grafter Is Indeed a traitor and sf the meanest kind. lie takes advan tage of a place, given hliu by the grace tf the people, to rob tue people. His philosophy that he is In public posi tion to levy toll oa public funds Is the philosophy of a traitor. Ilia practice f dividing up or taking money on the aide is the practice of a traitor. And this grafting strikes at the vitals of American principles. It makes a gov ernment of the grafters, by the graft era, and for the grafters. For some time trolley car bare been running out from Cairo to the pyra mids and we have become hardened to hearing the station agent at Joppa boat: "All aboard for Jerusalem!" to perhaps we ahould receive with stoicism the news that the City Coun cil of Venice has bought several elec tric launches for use on the Grand aanaL Did not the pope the other day remark that if ha were a little younger ua would bay a bicycle, and la not a London company threatening to et up Stamp mills at King Solomon's mines? We need Une upon line and precept epon precept as to what constitutes real success In life. Especially do we need this In our day when nearly rv cry thing is measured by dollars. And we may start out by saying that society's standard is wrong that thu narrowest, meanest, least satisfactory Ufa is the life devoted entirely to suc cessful money-ge'.tlng. The man whoa life is given up to the small aim? an ! mall strivings of accumulating d ill rj to to be pitied. He does not succenj in life. He ia the slave of low ideals.

He si-oaks of them as the "beaten meiu bers of beuteu breed." Th:s is much the Mine kind of talk that was btMrd when the Irish immigrant came to this country In such swarms as to alarm the 'thoughtful student" of race des tiny. It might have been heard when tialu lands of Scandinavians weie IKturint; Into the West. Now the com plaint is that they have ceased to come, and they are spoken of as t'.ie "human niM tnnt jnippirt onr clviliminn."

Carious Qunt of the Owner of Cor reutfio irauuteut, In a private house In the west of London Is a very beautiful picture, re puted to be by Correggio, and of such high quality that there Is every rea son to believe It to Le either by thai master or an excellent copy of one ol his lust original by Lodovico Carrac cL Although apparently a complete pic tnre iu Itself, this exquisitely painted figure of a beautiful woman, gazing intently at a ring, is only a third of the original picture, and the present owner is endeavoring to trace the mi.-s-Isg parts in order to re-sUire the work to Its original condition. A document attached to the back of the frame, and provided with a seal with the Inscription, "Quo Fata Vo cant," gives the curious hibtory of this picture. It reads: 'The Queen of Candaules, a King of Lydia, with the Magic I'.lng of Gyges, by Corre?fo. It is part of a larger picture which descended to three brothers of the name of Moore. la whose family It had long been, but not being able to agree as to Its pos session. It was cut into three parts. This portion was purchased by An thony I-ord Faversham, and from him It came into the possession of hi daughter, the Hon. Frances King, wife of John Bowater, esq., at whose de cease It was sold by auction In July, 1S10. to Mr. John Ing. of Woolwich!" Then follows In another handwrit ing: "It remained in Mr. Long's pos session till bis decease, and was pur chaand by me at his auction, 27th Au gust, 182&" The signature Is dlfflcull to decipher.

In the winter senfwi of the year, when most farm horses have rather tin ?nsy time of life, there Is likely to be more or less liver and kidney trouble ttuong them, due, to some extent, to .he liberal feeding nnd the inactive .ife. Oftentimes these troubles develop n au attack of acute indigestion, fre jnently mltttakcn for colic. The first ;hlng to do with a borse that is not ating well la to give a dose of mix vomica thr3 times dally until It re ver Its appetite. The dose Is twen y drops of the tincture given ou the ngue. Just before eating. The oatu flveu the animal ahould be ground !d In the ?rnin given in the morning ihonld be placed a Unlf ounce of pow lered nitrate of potash. Then prepare ;he following general condition pow ler, which acts well on both kidneys Hid liver, and give the nnlmul a benp iig tnblespoonful once a day, iireferu jly at noon. In two pounds of ground laxseed mix four ounces of powdered (eutlnn, five ounci-s of ginger, three itinceu of powdered sulphate of Iron md two ounces of powdered charcoal. se that all the Ingredients are mixed iiomtjghly. This jtowder will tone up 'lie system of the horse generally. Good General Fertilizer. One of the best general fertilizers for I soil rather satiety and loamy Is com- osed of IXlO pounds of acid phosphate, 500 pounds of nsh scrap, UK) pounds tt nitrate of soda and 4J0 pounds of nurlale of potash to the acre. For use )ii vegetables, where the crop is the top, such as cabbages, the potash is .educed one-half and the nitrate of jodii doubled, while 1,000 pounds of Kid phosphate is used. This plan of fertilizing Is followed after tbe plot has eceived a fair amount of stable ma ture tbe season before. It is as good is any complete fertiliser on the mar tet aud coats much leas by buying the jigredieota and mixing them ou the To tU t lluu in Winter, A success! ui puqilry r t! r wtis o:ict r.sked bow to u - -sfi!i'.y get egg i!'!rii;g the winter seavtl and bis r";dy was, "hatch winter t hickeus from win ter laid eggs."
