Negro Business League It is hoped that delegates intending to be present at the Atlanta meeting will bring their wives with them, as the social functions in connection with the coming session promise to be a feature of the meeting. Splendid preparations are made for the annual banquet which will, it is said surpass all former ones. The meeting should and will be made an occasion of rest and recreation as well as of business. The next session of the National Negro Business League will be held in Atlanta, Ga., August 29th, 30th, and 31st. The Executive Committee, with the officers of t.e. organization, will meet the day before, August 28th, for the purpose of canvassing the work of the year past, and to finally arrange matters of detail in connection with the Atlanta session. Plans are now being matured for some special coaches and trains to run into Atlanta for the meeting from Chicago, Indianapolis, New Orleans, and points in Mississippi and Kansas from Washington City, and from one or two other points. It is very important that those desiring information as to lodging and other comforts in Atlanta should correspond at once with Mr. G. M.

The Wit of Woman. Women are the inheritors of the oldest, most universal human wisdom. They have more sense than men, for the simple reason that a man has to be a specialist, and a specialist has to be a fanatic. The normal man all over the world is a hunter or a fisher a banker or a man of letters or some silly thing. If so, he has to be wise hunter or a wise banker. But nobody with the smallest knowledge of professional life would ever expect him to be a wise man. But his wife has to be a wise woman. She has to have an eye on everything.—G. K. Chesterton in the London Daily News. Indian Remedy for Coughs. A decoction of cherry bark and spruce bark, boiled and strained, is an old Indian remedy for coughs, which has been largely sold under various names for years by venders of medicines. The white trapper nowadays dissolves spruce gum in alcohol, adds a certain proportion of the spirits to the bark mixture and sweetens the whole with maple sugar. Perhaps the most experienced chemist could not prepare a better cough syrup than this makes. Shylock's Prized Turquoise We all remember reading of poor Shylock's despair and indignation upon learning that his turquoise ring had been exchanged by the gay young Jessica for a chattering monkey, when he tells us: "It was my turquoise; I had it of Loah when I was a bachelor; I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys." Which passage shows the antiquity of the turquoise as a love-pledge. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY EVENING, CURES DIPLOMATIC AMBITION A Short Term In the Zanzibar Coun- pulsin General Sufficient sulship Generally Sufficient. Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in attractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituents who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these venerousome individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was for nearly a year by "Bob" Mansfield, at one time private secretary to Senator Beveridge and now consul at Valparaiso. Mansfield came back, according to Indian descriptions, as 'as thin as a toothpick' and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billheimer, described as a husky Hoosier, with a large nose and frame pickeled in maleria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billheimer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate, which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he way. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency,' or Your Royal Highness," was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, the said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes that he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potate. Girard Was Considerate One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whittling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard event aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver hailed the vessel. "There must be some mistaken houted the captain. "Our bill of kiding doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver. "Mr. Girard, him- self, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whit- tel!"

Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. Moreover, the great palaces are shown to have been poor affairs after all, with wretchedly cramped apartments, and next to no pretensions to architectural style; and the temples were exceedingly crude buildings." Sugar a Universal Need "Sugar has modified the history of Europe and of the world in more ways than one," says a writer. "Used four centuries ago, almost exclusively in the preparation of medicines, and long afterward an article of luxury only accessible to the rich, it has by enlarged production and cheapened manufacture been brought within the reach of all. The universal use of this practically pure carbohydrate, which is not only a freely burning fuel and proteid sparer, but a muscle food, increasing the power of doing work and lessening fatigue, must have had widespread and beneficial effects on the general health. Especially in the case of children, whose greed of sugar is the expression of a physiological want, has that food been valuable in conducting to growth, contentment and well-being." Old-Time Controversies. Old-time controversies were often vigorous in language. In a controversy with Milton concerning the divine right of kings Salmasius called his opponent a puny piece of a man, a humunculus, a dwarf not having a human figure, a bloodless being, a creature of skin and bones, a contemptible pedagogue fit only to flog boys, a rhinoceros, a hangdog looking fellow. The great English poet not only answered in kind, but entered into an extensive correspondence with people in Holland to obtain petty gossip and scandalous anecdotes concerning his opponent. Costlier than Champagne. Although champagne is called the "wealthy water," there are few hotels in the country where one can pay more than $4 a quart for it, while, on the other hand, there are hundreds of places where Burgundy is sold as high as $35 a quart. At one hotel the menu advertises a special brand of this fine wine for $25 a bottle. There are any number of Rhine wines which cost above $$, and there is a big demand for them. Champagne does not improve with age as the other wines do and this probably accounts for the difference. First Paper Made in England The first English paper maker was John Tate, who founded a mill at Hertford at the close of the fifteenth century. Tate made a fine thin paper, having for a watermark an eight pointed star within a double circle. White coarse paper was made by Sir John Spelman, a German at Dartford in 1580, and here the first English paper mills on a large scale were erected. Till 1690, however, when William III. passed an act to encourage the home manufacture of white paper, all the best paper for writing and printing was imported from Holland and France. Wargrope for an Ocean Trip Wardrobe for an Ocean Cottage The day was not very long ago when the wardrobe necessary for crossing over to England was discussed with as great earnestness as to the preparation of a trousseau. Now with a couple of business suits, a heavy coat, a soft hat and a steamer trunk full of linen the regular traveler is ready for the voyage. There is always one man who wears his evening clothes at dinner and the curious thing about him is that he always looks as if he had never worn them before. But there is usually only one of this type, just as there is one of the man who appears on deck the last day out with a silk hat.-Outing. Why Du Chailleu Wrote a Bachelor. Why Du Chandu Vicki is bachelor. The late Paul du Caillu was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of 853 women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'if I should marry one of these beauties of yours there would be 852 gallous women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, 'that is easily settled. Take them all.' That was a little too strong for me, however, and, as I have never had such a field to choose from since, I am still a bachelor.'

The regulations are stringent throughout and are in line with the best authorities on the subjects of Sanitation, preservatives, dyes, chem- feals and condemnation of diseased carcasses, ‘The general regulations provide that the scope of the inspection shall cover all slaughtering, packing, meat can- ning, salting, rendering or similar establishments whose meats or meat food products, in whole or in part, in- terstate or foreign commerce, unless exempted from inspection by the Secretary of Argriculture.

The speaker was a well-knit, clean-shaven man, whose face, without HY DID I receive from the force?" The speaker was a well-knit, clean-shaven man, whose face, without being handsome, revealed the possession by its owner of intelligence and a sensitive nature. His eyes were frankly observant, and his demeanor was one of alertness and vigor. "Yes," proceeded ex-Detective Morrison, "I suppose it will ever be a bit of mystery to my late colleagues of the Criminal Investigation Department that I who had confessed some much excellent work should have renounced my career when my prospects were most promising. What! Going to resign?" exclaimed the Commissioner. 'You who largely assisted to secure the arrest of the authors of the De Mallincourt pasteel frauds, who discovered the lampshead prisoners, and who successfully traced the international banknote forgers to their den?' "It certainly did seem strange, and I dared not explain. Are you listening? Well, what mystified the criminal department shall be made clear to you. "Early in life I became enamored of the idea of a detective's career. I was eternally picturing myself as an avenging instrument of outraged justice, rescuing innocent beauty from the grasp of remorseless scoundrelism, winning the plaudits of the world and the smile of virtue—you know the kind of thing that springs from the imagination of sensitive youth. "My sister and myself had been left orphans. We had been given into the custody of a half-brother of my fathers, as good and generous a fellow as ever lived, considerate as a father, and naturally less exacting in checking any of our original sins. He had a daughter, Ethel; and it was Ethel, sweet Ethel"—here the narrator made an emotional pause—"who unconsciously weaved herself into all my imaginary acts of heroism. "I lived the ordinary life of a young man, helping my uncle in his business and taking part in no more escapades than do most fellows of twenty. I wasn't what's termed a mollycoddle—not at all; but the mere presence of Ethel and my sister Rose was a restraint upon any extravagant foolishness. "They were a strange contrast in appearance. Rose was as dark as any Egyptian, with heavily-arched brows, eyes that sparkled with vitality, hair that nestled low upon the forehead: she was impetuous, eager, a child of impulse. Ethel was as fair as the morning sun—a clinging, easily move! trusting maid, who seemd to lean for support or Rose. "Rose was my elder, and she lavished a passionate affection upon me. Ethel apparently reflected it in a less rehement and in a more regulated manner. "When I quitted Northington to join the force I little thought that Rose's passion must have another outlet, and that in its turbulance it might overwhelm my darling Ethel, now secretly half-plighted to me. "Yes, Morrison,' said my chief, these are the cutest and cleverest CRUEL SPORT. Hooher—Jones captured every fly that came his way. He didn't let one escape him. Miss Novisse—How cruel! Why weren't he playing ball instead of chasing harmless insects? The Land of Old Age. The Land of Old Age is an invisible country which is all about us. How- ever young you are, you have been near it and I should count you unfort- nately if in the heat of the day you had not burned into its shady by- pits and lingered a moment with its cold desiers. It is a very peaceful land there is not much work there to be done; duty is rarely even so sel- frauds we have had to deal with for some time. The notes are so accurately executed as to deceive even the smartest of bank clerks. Of course a thorough expert, if he were to examine them closely, would detect a variation in the water-mark and in the typographical peculiarities of a genuine note; but that variation is so slight that even he might be deceived. By the way, not a few of these notes have been in circulation at your native place, Northington. However, you have got charge of the case. "My heart leapt at the thought of Northington. My sister Rose had been suddenly married to a gentleman whom I had never seen, but whose name did not impress me. It was Hubert Featherstone Maitland. I had not been able to attend the wedding because I was in Paris inquiring into the De Mallincourt frands. Rose was wildly enthusiastic about her husband; she rhapsodized over his goodness, generosity, affection for her, and his unvarying devotion. How had she met him? He was staying at the county hotel and so ingratiated himself with some of the townsmen that he got invited to the annual bachelors' ball. Within five months he and Rose were married. Didn't I know something about his family? Well, Rose wrote enthusiastically about his brother, Hugh Featherstone Maitland, and somehow I began to fear for Ethel. "I did not go to Northington, for on arriving at my lodgings, after the interview with the chief, I had a wire from Rose—or rather from Mrs. Maitland—saying that I might expect a call from her at any moment. She was then in Boston. Besides, news had come of these notes having been given an increased circulation at several West End establishments. Rose's wire gave no address. It was a mild note announcing her arrival, and was despatched from Boston. "I was in Bond street, where as yet the forger had not commenced his depredations. I was persuaded that he would not relinquish so happy a hunting-ground, but was moody over my non-success. "Don't forget I shall want some change!" "These words fell on my ears. They had been uttered by a well-dressed handsome man who was just getting into a cab from which a lady had only a second before alighted. He drove away, and the lady entered a jeweler's shop. "I always act upon impulse. I was attired in fashionable clothes, and I too went into the shop. The lady bought a pair of links for her husband and gave a $50 bill in exchange. She received $25 from the cashier. I had completed my inquiries as to the price of a hunter watch which I did not want. When she left—her close veil had never been raised—her very movement was reminiscent. Who could she be? I saw her enter another shop eight or nine doors away. I returned to the jeweler's, called the manager, showed my authority, and asked to see the note. I was certainly unable to discover any flaw in it, but was not convinced of its genuineness. "In another minute I was standing outside the second shop which the lady had entered. I dared not gaze too intently at her as she left. However, by lounging near the cab I was able to learn the address/she gave the cabman. It was 61. Madison Square—one of the best-known suites of maisonettes in the West End. "I followed her cibsely in another cab. She had not entered the mansion ten seconds before I had resolved to make some inquiries at the office on the ground floor. "She was actually leaving the office as I approached. 'Yes, I heard an o-neousible clerk say, as she entered the lift, 'I can assure you that tomorrow a man will come and see what is the matter with your gas service. We cannot understand it.' "The lady still left an impression on my mind—an impression that her form and manner were not new. I imperatively dismissed the notion from my mind, for I had now a scheme in view. I hurried back to the jeweller's; he had in the meantime taken the note to the bank. After a very careful examination the expert had come to the conclusion that it was a flash note. I went to the other shop—a similar note had been passed shop—a similar note had been passed dom, in fact, that sometimes those of us who have gone there to live for good, feel that we have passed our our time of usefulness and has incumbs of hot resentment that we are not out in the world doing its work f it. I feel that way myself often, and at such times make excursions outside. Always the gentle hands of my children lead me back to my own country; and I sometimes feel that the Which he thought was not a genuine one. "The housemaid at 61 Madison Square was in a very unpleasant mood. "Ere's the Missus says as 'ow you wasn't comin' till tomorrer! It's most haggravatin!' An' master's bringin' some friends to dinner, and the missus's cousin is a-comin with 'er financy! Of course, what do it matter to you?" "However, she had to put up with the presence of the workmen—he assured her that he had been sent by the express instructions of her mistress to attend to the gas. "The leakage was in a pretty little dining-room. It was only divided by a thin partition from another room in which two persons were talking. " 'Ah, poor child, you are tired! Never mind now why I want so many notes changed and never allow you to spend gold and silver! Remember our dinner-party tonight!" "This was said in a low,soothing voice—the voice of a man born to cozen women. The workman was listening intently. " 'Well, well, dear!' the man went on. 'Don't you know that on the Continent we can't change notes easily? Why, what a time we shall have! We shall have to play the roles of an old staid couple in the presence of the bride and bridegroom!' " 'Whew,' whistled the workman—a marriage! "Really, now,' said the supercilious housemaid to him a minute later—'you cahn't finish the job tonight, eh? You must go and get some piping? Well, of all the haggravating creatures—' "And the angry little Cockney shut the door with a clang. "Tell the guv'nor we want to see him!" said the Inspector, in a quiet assuring tone, to the housemaid at No. 61. 'We sha'n't keep him a second. "We had followed the girl to the dining-room. The handsome man whom I had seen in the cab stood before us, framed by the doorway. "I arrest you," said the Inspector, 'on suspicion of having passed a number of forged notes on the National Exchange Bank! There was an exclamation from the inner room followed by a scuffling noise. Evidently a confederate was about to bolt. I bounded into the room, followed a retreating form into a second apartment, and caught him as he rushed into the passage leading to the lift. "I brought him to the Inspector. A woman confronted me like a tigress. "You liar and blackguard, Richard Morrison! That man never circulated forged notes! He is my husband—an honorable gentleman! If notes were passed, I passed them!" "Good heavens! The author of this self-accusation was my sister Rose! "Oh, Richard,' wailed a woman at my feet, 'don't hurt him—don't kill me! Let Hugh come with me! We were to be married the day after tomorrow!" "I staggered back. This was Ethel—my Ethel! The man I had caught was Hugh Maitland. He was to have been her husband. "They were two of the greatest scoundrels, sir, who ever played upon the credulity of women. They are now expatiating their crime in Portland. "And what of Rose and Ethel? Providence only knows. I am an outcast from their affection—a traitor, the ruiner of their happiness, the man who has wrecked the careers of two heroes. Do you wonder, sir, that crime investigation has no longer any romance for me?" A Substitute. Little Helen, aged four, was in a feightful predicament. The nurse, carrying the cherished two-weeks-old baby up and down before the house, had paused to show the new infant to the bishop, who had asked to look at it. And then the tall, grave bishop, of whom Helen stood greatly in awe, had unexpectedly asked the little girl to give him the baby. How in the world to refuse a request made by such an awe-inspiring person as the bishop the child did not know. But presently she wrinkled her small countenance shrewdly, moved closer to the petitioner, and said, ingratiatingly, "I'll let you have the next."-Harper's Weekly. When a baby is weaned, the entire neighborhood knows about it. reason we resist taking up our places there is this sense that we are not allowed to come out when we wish, that we are kept prisoners—not through our own weaknesses, but because there are certain conventions as to what is suitable or unsuitable for us old people.—Harper's Bazar. The secret of good nature is to constantly consider other people. TO MAKE HOUSEWIVES. New Course in Cookery for Chicago Schoolgirls. Every girl in the Chicago public schools is to learn how to feed a husband and three children on $5 a week and still have enough food left over to satisfy her own hunger. Those who hold themselves to be immune from the matrimonial germ are to learn how to keep bachelor quarters on what the sociologists call "starvation wages" without the danger of starving. In the schoolrooms, too, the homemakers of tomorrow are to be taught parlor and table manners, how a hostess should act under all circumstances, how to go marketing, how to discriminate between pure and adulterated foods, and a thousand and one other useful things which the school trustees believe every up-to-date housewife should know. Instruction in all of these different branches of household economies is provided for in a new course of domestic science, prepared by a committee of teachers and approved by the school management committee. Incidentally the course is calculated to make the man with the small income look a little better to susceptible femininity. Not only are girls to be taught how to feed a family on $5 per week, but they are to be taught relative nutritive values of inexpensive foods and the attractive preparation of cheap foods. "Each pupil," the prospectus says, "is to keep an account for the family of the size of the one to which the pupil belongs." The first year's work in the new course provides for the study of kitchen arrangement and care; the care, selection and use of cooking utensils, tables, sinks, refrigerators, etc. The digestive organs will be submitted to careful study with a view to ascertaining the effects of the various foods on them. The general study of foods during the first year is to be divided as follows: 1. Change produced by cooking. 2. Digestibility. 3. Meeting the needs of the body. 4. Nutritive value of different foods. 5. Inexpensive foods and their nutritive value. 6. Attractive preparation of foods, particularly inexpensive foods. 7. Methods of keeping foods fresh. 8. Methods of preserving foods. 9. Adulterations — harmless, harmful. In the second year a detailed study is to be made of dietaries. Then ideal dietaries are to be made for the infant, child, high school pupil, adult, day laborer, sedentary person and invalid. The problem of feeding a family of five is reserved for the last half of the course. The pupils will not only be taught how to feed a family of this size with an income of $5 a week, but they will be told how to apportion the family income, should it be greater than $5 a week, which is the amount which will be used for the more detailed study. The last semester of the course will be given up wholly to the study of house sanitation. Time for Rejoicing.

The graceful figures of Parisian women are said to be due mainly to diet and exercise. The French girl drinks a great deal of milk until about the age of 20, after which her repasts are of a light non-fattening kind. Where in other countries a woman would take a heavy meal, the Parisienne contents herself with a bowl of soup. Her outdoor exercise is mainly limited to shopping excursions or short strolls in the city. She is very active about her household tasks, both from motives of economy and also as a means of keeping down superfinous flesh. There is something wrong with a home where the mother, or grandmother, never appears on the front porch. Husband's Argument. The late Susan B. Anthony, relates the New York Tribune, once attended a wedding in Rochester, and at the reception she said to the bridegroom: "If you want this marriage to be a happy one, you must be as kind and tender always as you are now.

Grangemouth is the name of a Mos cow editor. Evidently a farmer on the side. Waldorf Astor has become so thor- oughly anglicized that he is going to marry an American girl. A clergyman says that bridge whist leads to mental decline. Why doesn't he try poker for a change? Senator Pettus is declared to be a poor man and fond of poker. The last explains the first, possibly. Perhaps boys should be thankful for whippings, as somebody declares, but they seldom are before they are 45. Sweet Spring is now approaching, and Summer with the rose, so poetry's encroaching upon the field of prose. King Edward was "warmly received" in Paris, but not in the same way as when he used to be prince of Wales. The czar will reserve the right to wield the big stick over the Douma. according to the latest advices from St. Petersburg. We learn from the New York Mail that women are using garters to keep those long, arm-length gloves in place. But do they hold? Manchuria will be finally evacuated by the Japanese in a few days. It has taken them longer to get out than it did to get in. It is now believed that Anna Gould is going to give Boni one more chance, in spite of the fact that he has taken a great many already. Uruguay should not be blamed for having a revolution. A review of recent South American history shows that it is Uruguay's turn. Asks the editor of the Pittsfield Journal: "Are there four girls with gray eyes in Pittsfield?" Apparently y escribe means to get busy. Queen Maud of Norway is losing her health because she fears her husband will be killed. This queen business is not all pickles and pie. It was not long ago that all the "success" magazines were pointing to the Pittsburg millionaires as examples to the youth of the land. With 10,000 doctors in convention in Boston next summer, the rest of the country ought to have a good opportunity to get well.—Boston Globe. It is a pity that the great romancers of the sea did not live in a generation which affords such thrilling material as the log of the dry dock Dewey. A Minnesota man says he has discovered the cause of the aurora borealis. But what bearing will this have on the price of coal this year? Much to the surprise of everybody, some of the phenomenal ball players added to the leading nines as marvelous discoveries will probably make good. Cheer up, master! The president of the Dressmakers' National Protective Association says that women's dress will be less expensive this year than ever before. The Japanese, says one of their statesmen, should adopt chairs and develop their legs. Well, short legs did not prevent them from "getting there" in the late war. Portla, as quoted by the editor of a kind of society paper, is made to say: "How far that little scandal throws his beams! So shines a bad deed in this haughty world." News comes from the east that the seventeen-year locusts will devastate the land this year. How many times in the course of a decade do the seventeen-year locusts come, anyhow?

Adelina Pattl has made her final tour in the United States is found in her recent criticisms of the American people. This lady, who once lived down on Grand street West, but now dwells in a castle in Wales, largely owing to the generosity of the citizens of this city, has lately discovered that we haven't any appreciation of art, cookery, music or good manners. This is an ill return for all the complimentary words we have uttered about her, not to mention the dollars we have paid to hear her voice. Although she was born in Madrid in February, 1843, she came here with her parents as a child and grew up among the people of New York. Her brother, Carol, used to lead the orchestra at the Grand Opera House, during the Jim Fisk era of French opera-bouffe. Mme. Patti's last tour of this country was not financially successful—a circumstance that may account for her change of heart. The lady, however, insisted upon receiving her contract money to the last dollar. The im presario was almost ruined, although the fault was the diva's own. She couldn't sing! Her voice had lost its fine quality. She wasn't a "diva" any longer. The American people found this out and refused to assist in maintaining Craig y Nos castle.—Brooklyn Eagle. Jefferson said he thought he was one of the first men to black his face after the appearance and success of "Jim Crow" (T. D.) Rice. "I suppose," said Mrs. Drew, "there are very few men in this company who have not at one time or another been associated with minstrel performances." "I played Brudder Jones," said Mr. Jefferson. "Everybody knows I was in the minstrel business." Goodwin exclaimed. "Yes," I remarked, "because we were there together. "Well," joined in Crane, "I was on the tambourine end with Campbell's minstrels." I remember telling this at Lawrence Barrett's house at Cohasset, where the rest of the party consisted of Edwin Booth and Stuart Robson, Booth then told how he and J. S. Clarke were minstrels in their younger days, and he followed this up by declaring that he used to "plick a little on the banjo." I laughed, and Booth inquired the reason, and I added, "Oh, nothing much, only Booth and the banjo seemed such an odd combination."—Francis Wilson in Scribner's Magazine. ❖ Thou Compassionate. How deeply comforting the tender phrase, Thy greater attribute seem merged in this Through all life's leng and dark and weary maze, Thou art Compassionate. To God of Justice-and of Power we turn When wrong or devastating blow cuts deep; And yet in daily struggle needs must yearn For one Compassionate. In limits of our souls we live, alone, And yet our nearest may not understated. But all "the household jar within" is known To thee, Compassionate. Thou knowst the many sorrows of the day; Wide longing, narrow opportunity— We bring life's broken toys, as children may, To one Compassionate. We may have blundered grievously and long, Darkened Thy world we might have made so bright, Still Thou dost heal the heartache and the worm, O Thou Compassionate! —May Ethelyn Bourne, in Overland Monthly. Of No Importance. Two men were standing together on an East River ferryboat when one pointed out a third man with the remark: "I can't recall his name at this moment, but he writes for a number of the magazines." His friend looked at the stranger with much interest. "Writes up trusts and things, then?" "Oh!" the friend exclaimed, the look of interest suddenly dying out of his face—New York Journal. True to His Promise. The other boy had called Tommy a liar, an' a fightin' liar, and told him he dassen't take it up. Tommy's fists were clinched and his eyes were blazing, but he stood there rapidly repeating something to himself, in accordance with a long standing promise he had made to his mother. "If you'll jist wait till I've finished sayin' it," he said, "I'll knock the tar out o' you, Dick Bunker, you ple faced slob! 'But children, you should never let your angry passions—'" The other boy, however, disappeared around the corner while Tommy's lips were still moving. Flying Wedge. "Great Scott!" exclaimed the drummer who had put up in the old farm house over night. "What was that down below? Football rush?" Norse than that, stranger," chuck the old farmer, as he snuffed out the candle. "Yeou see, I have eight darters each' one of them has a beau who calls on Thursday nights, the first couple that gets the can have it. That's why they LACE SCARF AS EAR TRUMPET. Elderly Lady Has Discovered It Acts as Sounding Board. With advancing years a dear old lady has found that her hearing has become somewhat affected. She has not found it necessary to use an ear trumpet as yet, but it is difficult at times to catch all that friends say. Anything said in an undertone is completely lost to her—that is, it was until she hit upon a novel idea. While visiting a friend recently the hostess had pitched her voice almost to the straining point and her vocal organs were getting tired, when "Aunt Sis," as she is affectionately termed, interrupted her by saying: "Please, dearie, hand me my lace head scarf." "Do you feel a draught?" anxiously inquired the hostess, handing over the mantilla. "Not the slightest," said "Aunt Sis" as she adjusted the head covering. "Then why do you wear it? It will make your head tender." "Oh, I think not. You see, the scarf acts as a sort of sounding board. It keeps out all other sounds except those of the human voice. When I wear this I can hear even a whisper I can't explain why it is, but it is so, nevertheless. I have had lots of fug over it, too. My boys have been taking advantage of my infirmity to whisper to each other. I didn't hear them before I began to wear this scarf, but now I know lots of their secrets and they don't know it. It's a good joke on them." Fish Know Colors. "Fish know colors," said a keeper at the New York Aquarium the other day. "They can distinguish between red and blue, or white and green, as well as you and I. Wait and I'll prove it." He led the way to a tank in which were some red and some yellow and some green fish, and in it were artificial grottoes painted respectively red and yellow and green. The keeper rolled the water with his hand, and the fish fled, the red ones to the red grotto, the yellow ones to the yellow grotto, and the green ones to the green grotto. "They know which color shields them from observation best," said he. "Now I'll change the grottoes, so as to prove my statement a second time." He moved the grottoes to different places in the tanks and again rolled the water. The same thing followed as before. Each fish darted like a shot to the grotto of its own color, where it knew it would be best concealed. To the Beloved. Everything that I made I used to bring you. Was it a song, why, then 'twas a song to sing to you. Was it a story, to you I was telling my story. Ah, my dear, could you hear 'mid the bliss and the glory? Did any one praise me, to you I said it all over? My laughter for you: how we laughed in the days past recover? My tears and my troubles were yours; did any one grieve me. I carried it straight to the love that was sure to relieve me. O my dear, when aught happens, to you I am turning. Forgetting how far you have traveled this day from my learning. There is nobody now to tell things to; your house is so lonely! And still I'm forgetting and bringing my tale to you only. The old days are over; how pleasant they were, the fine weather. When youth and my darling and I were home and together? And still I'm from phone, that no longer you're near me. And turn to you still with my tale, and there's no one to hear me. —Pall Mall Gazette. Fate of the Old Presidents In the autumn of 1901 Mrs. W. of Roxbury spent a few weeks with her daughter in Nova Scotia, returning home shortly before President McKinley was shot, bringing her niece, Bessie F., aged 6 years, home with her. Of course the child heard a good deal of talk in the house about the shooting of the president. One day Bessie said to her aunt: "Aunt Minnie, who is king of the United States?" Her aunt replied: "We have no kings in the United States like you do in your British country. We have presidents. We have an election every four years and elect a new one." "Oh, yes," the child replied; "and then they shoot the old ones, don't they?"—Boston Herald. New City for Egypt. Suakin, on the Red sea, has proved an unsatisfactory port and is to be superseded by a brand-new rival which has been built up out of coral work and desert sand by the Egyptian authorities. The rival is Port Sudan, the latest addition to the cities of the British empire, and an enthusiast says that it is destined to be a place of magnitude and importance in the days when cotton shall have made it the New Orleans of the east. The place has hitherto been called Mersa Sheikh Barud. It is about 680 miles south of Suez and is capable of holding a dozen vessels of moderate size. The entrance is 600 feet across, and the land around is six feet above sea level. Posers for Scholars. Twenty words submitted to a spelling bee in Springfield, Mass., in 1846 were given to the high school class at East Liverpool by Supt. Rayman, and it is reported not one in the class correctly spelled every word. Only ten had averages of over 90 per cent. The average of the 124 pupils was $73\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. The words submitted were accidental, accessible, baptism, chirography, characteristic, deceitful, descendant, eccentric evanescent, fierceness, feignedly, ghastliness, gnawed, heirs, hysterics, imbecility, inconceivable inconvenience inefficient, irresistible. Pittsburgh Dispatch. SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military. Writer. A writer in the Militar-Woenchenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Broad Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rife rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What Money Will Do What money Will Do.

For happiness? Well, money bought It bought this chair in which I tell, It bought this private car; It bought this cognac—and, I guess, If all this is not happiness, I don't know. Not a Good Advertisement A Welsh judge had before him a ease in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns — I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World. Building Up to Requirements A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract. "This little shack you are building," said the real estate man, "lacks a whole lot of being a $2,500 house such as you agreed to build." "Don't form too hasty judgment," replied the owner. "True, it hasn't cost that much yet, but I intend to put a solid gold brick in the claimney." —Kansas City Times Telephone Bell W. 32 W. B. R FUNERAL and Embalmer.

Because its employees were late a London house provided a book in which the tardy ones were to write excuses. Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp. The late judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." Think What a Family Then! "Well," said the first policyholder, throwing aside his paper, "there is at least one thing we can be thankful for concerning our Mutual friend, Mr. McCurdy." "What's that?" inquired the second policyholder. "That he isn't." 530 MINNESOTA AVE. 852 FREEMAN AVE Telephone Home Raymond DIRECTOR st of Service, Fine Carr s, at all Hours.
