BONOS OF THE NATION.
OAHDH of education In three Western cities
have required that every pupil who enters
tho high school must be able to repent tho
words of several patriotic songs, such as
"My Country "J'ls of Thee," "Hnll Colum
bia" and "Tho Star Spangled Ilnnner." Ex
cellentl It Is a crying sliniiio that not one
In ten of the average Amcrlcnn audleneo Is nblo to re
peat or sing all of the stanzas of "America." An ex
change tells of a patriotic Sunday school superintendent
who was surprised to find that tho national hymn was
not contained In tho book used In bis school. Ho request
ed the children to sing It from memory. They got
through the first stnnza and then faltered. And the
adults present were unable to lend them much assistance.
This Incident Is typical. Do you supposo any company of
GermniiH would fall to sing every lino of "Dlo Wncht
Am Ublno?" Or could you Imnglne any audience of tho
French that would fall to remember a single word of
the "Marseillaise?" The fault Is with tho schools. Youth
Is tho time to lenru the songs that arc to abide In mem
ory and the school Is the place to tench them. It In
possible to be patriotic without knowing cither words or
tuuu of the national songs. It Is nlso posslblo to be
patriotic without the flag. Rut tho Aug symbolizes pat
riotism. And tho dearest traditions of tho nation aro
forever wedded to both song nnd flag. "Old Olory" ought
to bo rained over every school house nnd tho national
hours should bo taught In every public Khool. Kausai

American people are u grent people as
great In noble Impulses and humnno sym
pathy as In Industrial and commercial en
ergy, Wo often hear It, and more often rend It, that
this Is a land of mammon worshipers. We nro told that
the llcrcc, remorseless battle for gain has absorbed our
mental faculties and made us sot did and unfeeling. Yet
when a city far out on the 1'ncltlc coast Is suddenly
stricken and blighted wo see these callouffed and cold
hearted AinerlraiH rushing from every quarter to lay
their savings at the feet of the sufferer. Tho Atlnutlc

hundreds of ears of provisions and other necessaries will
soon be speeding acrosn tho continent bearing relief to
the unfortunates.
It Is grand, splendid, glorious I It given the lie to tho
calumnies of the critics. It shows that however fast

Probably ninety per cent of these deaths could be pre
vented by the liberal uso of fresh sir. Tho other ten
per cent could bo prevented by the proper care of those
suffering with tho disease. Consumption Is purely con

would follow the simple rules of health as laid down by

THE REVOLT IN SOUTH AFRICA.
imrn.su mounted troops in conflict with the fierce zui.us.
Some time ago Kaiubaatn, u native Zulu chief uud
formerly regent under the llrltlsh for the Oreytown dis
trict, lit Natal, South Africa, revolted, and Ugau a
bush warfnro ngalust the whites. Many members of the
Ilrltlsh mounted Hllce hnvo Uhmi murdered uud other
native chiefs Joined Itambaatn's forces. A tax collecting
party, headed by .Magistrate Stnluhuuk and supported by
a mounted column, was attacked at Mahhibltlul, In Zulu
land, nnd the muglMrnto and one of tho mounted men
were killed, the others of the party narrowly escaping
with their lles. Ever hluco the revolt of Ilnmbnntn tho
mounted jwlloo have been In nlnnM dnlly conflict with
bands of Zulus who after delivering n sudden attack will
disappear In the forests or hide In tho tall katllr corn.
All of South Africa Is now seething with unrest, not only
In English but In (ierinaii territory, and the doctrine
of Africa for the Africans Is being preached among tho
blacks. The agitation Is oven extending to tho far north
and agents are busily engaged lu stirring up revolt
against the whlto man's rulo.
Tho Zulus, n considerable number of whom nro now In
revolt, are tho tlcrcest uatlvo lighters In South Afrtcu
and nro clone seconds to the Arabs of tho Soudan In
fanaticism. In tho past they have waged mnny desper
ate wars agnlust tho English. It was In one of these
struggles. In the 80's, that tho Prince Imperial of Franco,
tho son of the last Napoleou, fell. In former wars the
Zulus deluded mainly upon their assegai, or spears, but
now many of them nre nrmed with rifles, which renders
the situation even more grave. If the disaffection lie
comes general, affecting the nathe races, there will be
much bloodshed In the dark continent In the near future.

Ui-riiiun City Contractu for Klt-olrlo
Current Mt n l.uw Unto.
Ono of tho problems confronting tho
city otllclals of ('refold, Oennany, lu
providing luvewsnry Improvements lu
tho now harbor territory and the sub
urb Crefeld-Llnu, adjoining, was tho
problem of furnishing these places
with cheat) electric light and power.
Tho direct current generated nt tho
city power houoo could not bo utilized
on account of tho distance; hence the
city would bo compelled either to build
and equip n new power house or to set
up tin alternating current machine, and
conduct tho current to tho placo of
consumption, about tlvo miles away,
Tho cost to the city would be great
to adopt either plan. Tho cotuutup
Uon of current for tho first few years
would bo small, and lu order to se
cure as llttlo loss as possible from this
condition tho city closed n contract with
tho railway directors to furnish tho
yards and deHts of several stations
along the Hues of tho road with light
and iH)wer for ten years.
One of tho coal mine companies op
erating In tho district manufactures
coko nnd tins almost completed tlio
erection of n lnrge electric iier plant
to delher electric current to cities and
Hinges within reach. This company
purposes to utilize the hot gases formed
Mil tho manufacture of coke to drive
the dynamos of Its plant. Tho conl and
coko company can produce by this plan
electric current for commercial pur
poses cheaply, and, as tho plant will bo
an alternating current system, the Arm
U contracting to deliver It to Impor
tant placed at a distance.
The city of Crefold hns completed n
contract with this company to hno an
electric current delivered supplying nil
Its needs at a price much lower than
tho city could supply It and the city
otllclals tiro rejoicing that the occasion
presented Itself to them at such an op
portune time. Tho distance from the
electric light plant to Crefeld-Lluu nnd
tho harbor territory Is alout ten miles,
but the contract with tho city Is mado
to cover a largo additional district,
which Is to get electric current cheaer
than the plants In operation can make
It under the old system.
