It ls related that when the late James N Parton, historian and hl°$Il'lP|\¢l'» W5' ‘ reporter on a New York newspaper years ago, he was impressed with this fact, and was quite appalled by the record of crimes and casualties which made up\he sum of the days news.

Bs-was convinced that the number of

good deeds exceeded the number of the bad ones and that the many noble, heroin and charitable acts performed were more than equally worthy of record. So le procured a cigar' box and labelled it “Good Deeds Dons This Day." That dey and several more passed and still Ml' Parton tells that his “poor box contained only a few inslgnihcant items". He emptied the box and began again and followed on for several weeks when the task was abandoned. And yet he said his iaith was not shaken that in those weeks hundreds of goood deeds had been done and kind words spoken-more Hood than bad-and yet mostly the evil were record- ed because they were exceptional and the good uurecordedbecsuse they were usual.

This is the common experience of

newspaper publishers and of observant readers alike. And yet we believe there is not a respectable newspaper whose publisher would not rather record a irood deed than a crime. And there ls, we think more general recognition of good services than there was formerly. It may be that doing good is so frequent that its ` record would be thought commonplace.

Accuntry correspondent is puzzled to

know how the Government can have $2),- Oill of their own debentures in the

sinking fund, and wants it explained. Well, a Goverment debenture for, say, $541) is evidence that the Government

owes that much. `By buying up their own debentures one by one so much of the debt. would be paid at each purchase. Just likes farmer buying up his own notes of hand before they are due. Hs does not have to pay the prlncipalaseoond time, and he gets rid of paying interest. A sinking fund is a fund added to from year toyeai' in order to "sink" or extluii- uish adebt when the debt comes due. Because Government loans running for a long term of years cannot usually he paid until due. the sinking fund is formed togradually accumulate the sum when

due. It amounts to the same thing whether the fund is invested in Govern- ment securities or the securities of other bodies.

The death of Sir Henry M. Stanley, the

African explorer was arinounced yester- day. He was born in Wales of obscure parentags in1841. The fouudiing adopted the name of Stanley, which was that of a merchant who gave him employment in New Orleans, whither be had come a poor boy, alone ani friendless. In early life he served in the Confederate army, and afterwards in the United States navy. Thou he found congenial work on a newspaper. _The New York Herald sent him to Abyssiuia with the British expedition in l&B, and in the following year, sent him to Africa in search of Livingstone, whom he found ln 1871. Thereafter his explorations and adventures nlled the world with his fame. Since lill) he has lived in England and was for some time a member of Parliament.
