That is a prohlem lor me puiiosupimm historian to solve; we are here only con cerned with the fact that there was such a collapse, and that its consequences nave been fur-reaching. Scarcely any thing" is more stirring in the history of discovery than the series of advances along tho coast of Africa In itiated by Prince Henry soon after tho siege of Cents (the apex of tho west coast). We have such landmarks as the rounding of Cape Rojudor In 1434; Cape Rlancho, 1441; Cape Verde, 1445; Fer nando Po, 1471; the discovery of the Congo by Diego Cam, 1484; the cape rounded by DIas, 1487, but unseen by him till bis return voyage; followed by Vasco da Gama at Natal, Qiilllimann, Mozambique, Mombassa. and Mellnda 1407-8. The rest w as all detuil. "Thence it happened," to quoto the simple words of the English version of Osorlo, "by the activity of these brave men, and the concurrence ol some incay circum stances, that a great part of Africa to ward Ethiopia, as well as several Islands, bocamo subject to Portugal." Sofala and Qulloa (KUwa) were taken and fortified In 1505-0. Other places on the east eoant Inhambane, Mozam bique, Mombassa, Mellnda, Zan.ihar followed, until at certain points over nearly tho whole of the east coast of Por tugal became the dominant power. Rut, while considerable trade may have been attracted from tho Africun Interior be hind tho fortified coast stations, these were mainly regarded as halting places on the way to India. When the Portu guese reached the east coast of Africa they found tip and down nearly its whole length not tho savages they seem to have expected, but flourishing cities of wealthy Arabs, who for uenturios had been established there as traders, the remains of whose buildings are found tbore at the present day, and who were probably the successors of still earlier traders from Asia, taking us back far far beyond the Christian era. From the Jub to Inhumhane remains are found which are neither Arab nor Portuguese, though the latter would often like to claim them, as they havo recently been claiming "ruins" elsewhere. Far back aa we may go, let us say In passing, we find tbat ono of the principle articles of export from the heritage of Ham bus been slaves. This spurt of conquest and annexa tion and pseudo-colonization on tho part of Portugal is certainly a wonderful phenomenon. Possibly the fact that half the blood tn the veins of Prince Henry the Navigator was Knglish (his mother was a daughter ef John of Gaunt) had something to do with his enthusiasm for maratimo exploration; if so, It was only the first of a series of fa vors that England bas conferred on Por tugal. The Impulse of his initiative last ea snout one ounarea ana liny years. In 1580 Portugul chiuo under the domi nation of Spain, and when In 1040 she emerged from that thraldrom her spirit was broken. The Portuguese empire in India withered away as rapidly as it had sprung up, for the Dutch and Knglish had appeared in the Kastern seas. Grad ually, also, the old Arab sway won Its way back over much of the east coast of Africa, until Cape Delgado marked the northern limit of Portuguese power. tortnightly Review. HOLMES AT EIGHTY.

Is man less a man if ho can clean his siots better than his servant? Even at he tendor age of four or five, a little ask of usefulness within its power will make a prattling little one proud und, happy, and more satisfied than tho tear ing to pieces of twenty toys. It is from the age of five that the seri ousness of life begins with a child. Lessons (call them not tasks) have to Iw learned, and work, "Heaven's noblest ;'!fi," performed. But here this very seriousness should be made the joyous ness of an occupied life; each charac teristic of the ohlld developed and not crushed. Well has Goethe put it when, he sees in "self-will" future Aminos, and resolution; and yet, how many parents and teachers try to crush out self-will as an evil thing, Instead or di recting it into self-reliance and firm ness and resolution! Temper, too, is crushed; whereas, if guided it may mean immense power of purpose; un guided, it does moan awful misery and untold grief, Lessons to most children are a pleas ure; It U the teaching and the school that are Irksome, and some times bale ful.
