The Broad Ax

Last Sunday morning Rev. R. A. White, the eloquent pastor of the Stewart Avenue Universalist Church, Sixty-fifth and Stewart avenue, preached a powerful sermon on "The Modern Home." From the very beginning of his discourse to its close Rev. White dealt out many practical ideas pertaining to the "Modern Home." "You can't bring up men and women in barns and expect them to be refined and cultured," he declared. The "ideal American home must be a fixed place, there can be no ideal home without the family, for out of such ideal homes, which are enlivened by the laughter of beautiful children have come the highe st or the most exalted type of womanhood that the world has ever known." "The American people are fast becoming like Gipsies, who are continually roving from place to place, thus breaking assunder all family ties, and reafirming that old idea that after all we are nothing more than roving savages." Here in Chicago he maintained that "the ideal or the modern home of the great majority of its citizens are located in furniture vans, that the people are constantly moving from one section of the city to the other. This is ample proof that we have almost outgrown the old American idea of a fixed home, that such ideas are out of date." But he exclaimed "if a home means anything, it means this: Unity or harmony must exist therein, you cannot have an ideal home where the business life of the day is cutting into its unity," he scored both the men and the women for spending so much of their time at their clubs, and warned them that modern club life tends to break the unity of the home at its most vital points; that the child needs the masculine influence as well as it needs the sweet influence of a good mother, that it is deprived of such wholesome influence when its parents spend their evenings at their clubs, and turn their children over to someone who are not interested in their growth or moral development." In closeing Rev. White, gave some mighty good advice to married people. "Married life is a co-partnership in which the man and the wife are equal partners, and both of you must never get mad at the same time," and lastly he made an earnest plan for the ideal American home, with its old-time simplicity and freedom. It was our pleasure for the first time to listen to Rev. White, and we greatly admire him for possessing the courage to cut and slash into all things which tend to destroy the unity or the happiness of the home. They say that the old side-whiskered preacher who was cut in the jaw and run out of Jacksonville, Ill., for sleeping with another man's wife, lives all alone in a house on Dearborn St., near 22d St., with a kinky-haired widow, that many times this old side-whiskered preacher and the kinky-haired widow fight and quarrel like man and wife; that when the window blinds are drawn down and the doors are locked no one can tell how often they hug and kiss, or how close they rub up against each other, but this fact does not prevent this old rotten or immoral side-whiskered preacher from posing as the greatest moral saint in Chicago. George Guenther, a highly respectable and wealthy white farmer residing near Sandusky, Ohio, concluded last week to legally marry his colored cook, for he had learned to dearly love her, and shortly after marrying the woman of his choice his neighbors notified him that he could not reside in his own home with his wife, that they must move out of his house with in ten days, but before the expiration of that time a number of bloodthirsty white savages, who pass for civilized gentlemen, surrounded his house in the dark house of the eight and they riddled it with bullets. Mr. and Mrs. Guenther, while lying in bed, were wounded by the shots fired by those midnight murderers. It's too bad that Guenther did not kill on the spot every one of those red-handed assassins, who want to dictate to him whom he shall or shall not marry. Colored People in South Acquiring Farms and Other Property. Greatest Need of the Black Race is That Whites Set Good Example That Whites Set Good Example. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, of Jacksonville, Fla., spoke as follows last Sunday night in the First Congregational church this city on "The Needs of the Colored People of the South," and his words contain more truth than poetry: "By contrasting the present condition of the Negroes with that of 1865, their advancement in morals, education, etc., will readily appear and their needs will be obvious. "In 1865 there were about 4,000,000 colored people in America. Today they number nearly 10,000,000. 'When the colored people were freed they did not own a foot of land or a roof to cover their heads. In forty years they have accumulated 150,000 farms, valued at $350,000,000; 130,000 homes besides these farms, valued at $265,000,000 and $165,000,000 worth of personal property. "In 1863 not 1 per cent. of the adult colored people in the south could read or write, and none of their children were in school. Today 40 per cent. of the adults can read and write and 50 per cent. of their children are attending school. Negroes Practically Disfranchised. "The political condition of the colored people in the south is worse than in 1872. Five of the southern states have by constitutional enactments practically disfranchised all of their colored voters and most of the other states in the south, through corrupt election officials, intimidation and fraud, have accomplished the same results. "In many counties in several southern states neither the life, liberty nor property of black men is safe. The masses of Negroes in the south are morally only a little better off than they were at the close of the war. "The first need of this race is that the whites of this country shall set before them a proper kind of an example. If the white man carries a pistol and uses it on slight provocation the Negro will do the same. It's white men violate the law and regard manual labor as a disgrace the uneducated black man will do the same. I white men fail to respect and protect colored women the criminal Negro will not respect the person and virtue of women, white or black. "In the second place, the colored people of the south need to be assured that so long as they are law abiding their Liberty, life and property shall be safe. Should be Treated Humanely. "The colored people of the south need that they be looked upon and treated as human beings by their white brethren everywhere. "The better element among the Negroes need to join hands with the better element among the white in the south in the suppression of vice, crime and lawlessness on the part of both races in all parts of America and for the dignifying of common everyday work. "Lastly, the colored people need a Christian education, a better class of ministers and a more practical religion." A Valuable Book. Why has not some publisher continued the old American Almanac? It was abandoned several years ago. Nothing equal to it, in its line, has ever appeared. All the other almanacs like the worlds are very good, but none are anything like the American. It would be an easy matter to take its last issue and republish it with the additions for the years since. Every conceivable question of statistics is there answered. I suggest that "The Public" take it up. It had a large list of subscribers and purchasers. It is the most perfect Vade Mecum for politicians, editors, lectures ever constructed. Miss Grace Kington, who stands ace high with The Broad Ax, hade her Chicago friends farewell Friday night and left for New York City, and the first of the week she will sail for Naples, Italy, where she will spend the next two or three years. HEW TO THE LINE. ```markdown ``` Alderman Charles Werno, the upright and honorable Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the City Council, who has in the past been untiring in his efforts to establish public baths during the summer season, at various points along the Lake Front. Editor The Guardian, Sent to Jail For Thirty Days for Opposing Booker Washington. Old Drunken Tom Fortune and his godfather, Prof. Booker T. Washington, landed in Bcston, Mass., the latter part of last July for the purpose of holding a political meeting in one of the A. M. E. churches, which was presided over by Drunken Tom, whose brutal acts caused a row or commotion to be started in the main body of the church. Then at that point in the excitement Wm. H. Lewis, who has recently become one of Booker Washington's slaves, owing to the fact that Washington secured for him his present job, sneaked out of the church and brought back with him two officers and ordered them to arrest Wm. M. Trotter, editor of The Guardian, and his friend, Granville Martin, who did not do one thing to disturb the meeting, and after a long and bitter fight in the courts Judge Bennett on Thursday, Oct. 2, sentenced Messrs. Trotter and Martin to jail for thirty days o appease the anger of Lewis, Washington and Drunken Tom Fortune. Their term of imprisonment expires November 7th, and their loyal friends are making arrangements to give a memorable demonstration in their behalf. Here and there Booker T. Washington and his supporters may succeed by trickery in imprisoning an editor who is bitterly opposed to his unsound doctrine respecting the manhood rights of the Negro, but the tide of opposition to his damnable methods will continue to grow and swell as long as slavery or peonage exists in Alabama, and as long as he favors the disfranchisement of the Negro in the South. No Cinch for Poor Smith. Chas. Smith is in Jail for 20 days, he says as the result of his wife insisting on playing progressive cinch. When the couple were married a couple of months ago, Smith, of a religious nature, asked his wife to refrain from dancing and card playing. She promised too, he says, and then began her social dissertions. He objected strenuously to no avail. When Mrs. Smith refused a few days ago to spend her summer vacation of a week at a religious camp meeting, there was a real domestic war cloud over the Smith cottage. He went to the camp meeting alone and was arrested for wife dessertion. He will repent in jail. Mrs. S. Laing Williams would like to have us arrested for using her name in connection with that of Rev. or Col. D. R. Wilkins, who was dead anxious to assist Rev. Abraham Lincoln Murray to send us to jail, in the last issue of The Broad Ax. If this good and saintly lady, who has lately wrote many long-winded articles for the Old Church Organ, does not want her name mixed up with bad or immoral preachers, she should not permit them to hang around the office of the United Brotherhood. Gems of Wisdom. Catholicism was at one time the friend of education—of an education sufficient to make a Catholic out of a barbarian. Protestantism was also in favor of education—of an education sufficient to make a protestant out of a Catholic. But now it having been demonstrated that real education will make free-thinkers, Catholics and Protestants both, are the enemies of true (scientific) learning. Ingersol. Organism and inorganic phenomena are only various products of one and the same original force; various combinations of one and the same primitive matter.—Haeskel. In all countries where human beings are held in bondage it is a crime to teach the slave to read and write. Masters know that Education is an abolitionist, and theologians know that Science is the deadly foe of every creed in Chrisindom—Ingersol. By reason only can we attain to a correct knowledge of the world, and a solution of its great problems. Reason is man's highest gift, the only pregoative that essentially distinguishes him from the lower animals. Nevertheless, it has reached this high position only by the progress of culture and education, by the development of knowledge.—Haeskel. With the telescope we penetrate space and establishes its infinity—Geology demonstrations the elements of time—with the microscope we discover a world of life, which we can not see with the naked eye. Children in school know what we mean when we refer to the Laws of Nature and tell us that they are unchangeable. Bright girls and boys assure us that all organisms are but combinations of substance operated by innate energy or force.—Hans Hangel. A little man said to his papa the other day, after hearing Prof. C. lecture, "I am certain that time has no beginning nor end, that there is no limit to space, that all animals, plants and even the planets and stars of the universe are born, grow decay and die."—Hans Hansel. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Johnston, 3238 Wabash Ave., gave a grand reception Thursday evening from 8 to 12 in honor of the eighteenth birthday anniversary of their highly accomplished daughter, Miss Elizabeth Viva Johnston. More than two hundred members of the four. hundred—the cream of the Afro-American society of Chicago were present to welcome Miss Johnston into the fold, who sings like a nightengale and who is pretty as a fairy angel. All in all it was by far the swellest function on the bill-boards for this season. Miss Johnston received many rare and beautiful flowers from her friends. Mrs. Louise. Montgomery, 4731 Shields Ave, is confined to her bed with a severe spell of sickness, and her many friends earnestly hope she will be speedily restored to perfect health. G. M. Green, a Negro, is the only bill poster in Uniontown, Pa. He has charge of all the opera houses. Mrs. E. McDonald, 3032 Dearborn St., was recently made a member of the executive committee of the Child's Saving Conference. It is asserted that the Afro-Americans of this city will erect a monument of Frederick Douglass in one of the south side parks. Mrs. J. Gray Lucas 5840 Lowe Ave. is home again from her extensive visit with friends in Nashville, Tenn. and other sections of the south. A false religion is always known by its feeding one on promises of a blissful heaven hereafter, while doing nothing to create it here.—World's Advance Thought, Portland, Ore. The Krell Piano Company of Springfield, Ohio, also employs 175 colored men, and will put 100 more to work as soon as their new building is completed. Rev. Archibald James Carey and the writer rode together in the same elevator in the Ashland Block a few days ago and Rev. Archibald did not attempt to stab or shoot us to death. Father Burke of the Catholic church of St. Benedict, the Moor, of New York City, brings back from Rome a special benediction from the new Pope, Pius the tenth for all colored people of this country.—Ex. Mr. James E. Porter, a prominent labor leader, has been elected as a representative to the International Federation of Labor which meets in Boston. This is the first Negro ever elected from the south and we dare say in the country.—The News, Shreveport, La. Mrs. Major Francis Tervalon, 2826 State St., is still on the sick list, but Dr. A. Beatrice Schultz has assured her that it will not be long before she will be able to forsake her bed during the day time and stick her feet under the trough nad get on the outside of her regular meals. Three hundred and fifty-seven patients have been granted to Negroes. One Negro, Granville T. Woods, has thirty-five patents to his credit. The Bell Telephone Company uses the telephone transmitter which he patented. The controller system on the Manhattan Elevated railway is his invention.—Ex. Mrs. L. E. Washington, 477 N. Wells St., has become seriously ill while in Memphis, Tenn., assisting to settle up her father's estate, and several of the best doctors in that city are of the impression that "she will not be able to return to her Chicago home before the first of November." Ex-Alderman J. J. McCormick is getting ready to put up a stiff fight throughout the Fifth ward next spring for the purpose of recapturing his former seat in the city council, and there seems to be a growing impression among the leading politicians in the ward that the ex-Alderman will win out in his fight for supremacy. The Baldwin Piano Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, have for some time employed 380 colored men in the various departments of its piano building plant. The great Baldwin Piano Company have adopted the only practical way to solve the "Race problem," and that is to permit the Afro-American to work at whatever he is capable of performing. Alderman John Burns of the 30th Ward, is making a splendid record in the city council, and he is also winning new laurels every day from his constituents for so ably assisting his colleague Alderman, John J. Bradley, to see that the ward is cleaned and improved. If Alderman Burns keeps up his present licks he can retain his seat in the council as long as he wants to. Prof. Booker T. Washington has arrived in New York City from his trip to Europe, and he has already begun to inform the Negro that "he is better off in this country than the laboring classes are in the old country, even if they are forced to ride in "Jim Crow" cars, are denied the right to vote and mobbed and lynched and are shot to death by the hundreds, simply to furnish amusement for their best friends in the South. No.51. Booker thoroughly understands how to draw comparisons to the disadvantage of the Negro, for that one act alone enables him to rake in the money so he can continue to educate his children in the best schools in the east and in Europe. Ex-President Grover Cleveland's talk on "Good Citizenship" before the Commercial Club of this city, Wednesday night was all right, but the Ex-President failed to say that it is absolutely wrong for one class of good citizens to disfranchise another class of good citizens and trample upon their civil and their political rights simply because they have the power to do so. There are now two kinds of Methodists, one kind called "Thomas Paine Methodists," who believe as he did, i. e., there is one god, but that he is good; the other kind believe the bible that there is a hell, and all the terrible and outlandish possibilities of creation, etc. It makes no difference to this class what or how glaring the contradictions are; they must "believe or be d——d."—Higher Science. Mrs. Fanny B. Williams and Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett hate each other like two she rattlesnakes, and it is said that "their enmity toward each other is so bitter that they never speak when they meet face to face." This is nothing strange, for no doubt both of these high-strung ladies who work for the elevation of the Afric-American race for revenue only, have a slight recollection of some unpleasant experience in their lives while residing in Washington, D. C., and Memphis, Tenn. Mr. J. V. Pierce, the capable credit man for the Fuller-Fuller Company, corner of Randolph and Franklin Sts., the largest and the leading wholesale druggists in the west, is one of the moving spirits in the Independent Religious Society of Chicago, which holds services every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock in the Grand Opera house, and Mr. Pierce says that Prof. M. M. Mangasarian will deliver many highly instructive and interesting lectures this season, which will be very edifying to those who attend its services. Mrs. Ophelia R. Bryant, 6432 Champlain avenue, has through her Attorney, Albert B. George, filed a bill in the Superior Court against her husband, James D. Bryant, for separate maintenance. The Bryants' have three daughters, and they will live at home with their mother, for a long time. James D. Bryant has been one of the leading members of Quinn Chapel, Superintendent of its Sunday School, and resigned in order to leave his family, who charge him with cruelty and being red hot after women of easy virtue. Rev. S. Timothy Tice, the presiding elder of a Methodist district on Long Island, has made a contract for a house on one of the most fashionable avenues on Richmond Hill, a fashionable suburb of Brooklyn. He paid $400 down and is to take title to the place, which he will occupy with his family. The residents of the neighborhood do not relish his presence among them and have endeavored to bribe him to make his home elsewhere, but he stubbornly refuses. The cause of the opposition to his occupancy of the house in question is that Mr. Tice is of African extraction. Brother Douglas, of The Independent, San Francisco, Cal., after very carfully pondreing upon our reply to his article criticising The Broad Ax for its hostility to Booker T. Washington and his unsound philosophy or doctrine respecting the manhool rights of the Negro, has now become convinced that in the past he has been groping his way in utter darkness, that we have been on the right track all the time, while he has been chasing after false gods. Thus, one by one the leaves begin to fall; thus one by one the Afro-American newspapers are boldly coming out on the side of liberty and justice for every man, woman and child—their civil and political rights, and are deserting Booker Washington and his "Jim Crow" ideas.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Doings of the National Capitol That Are of Timely Interest. Interesting Figures from the Morgue of the Post Office Department—Stupendous Tasks Performed by Some Government Officials. Washington.—Over at the post office department there is a place called the Morgue. That is the eminently appropriate name commonly applied to the dead letter office—the destination of all the letters that go astray in the mails. THE WORLD'S MOST FOLLOWING NEWSPAPER Few people have an adequate conception of the amount of business that is transacted in this establishment; but the annual report of First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne. A Race for Life. Assistant Postmaster General Wynne, the official keeper of the Morgue, contains some interesting information. It appears that during the year just closed no less than 10,155,146 pieces of mail found their way into the dead house. That was 854,795 more pieces than were reported during the previous year—35,000 a day year in and year out, and the number constantly increasing. A little over one-thirtieth of this number was delivered unopened. That means that the skilled clerks in the office succeeded in deciphering more than 300,000 apparently unintelligible addresses and starting them safely on their way again. The clerks found $48,634 in money in misdirected letters which were opened, and drafts, checks and money orders representing a face value of $1,493,563. Some of this money was finally delivered to the persons for whom it was intended, but the larger portion went to swell the postal receipts. To handle this business there are 135 clerks, and some of them are marvels in the skill with which they can decipher writing that apparently has no meaning. The most skillful of all of them is a woman who draws a salary of $1,800 a year. There are few chirographical enigmas which she cannot master. Mourns the Loss of Herbert. In the unexpected death of Sir Michael Herbert Washington loses the most charming diplomat who has ever been detailed to represent a foreign country here as an ambassador. A. B. Sir Michael had been in Washington as the British ambassador less than a year, and yet he had won a popularity that amounted to affection. He was gentle, cultured, mag- netic, and fascinating in manner. Although an Englishman to the finger tips, he had yet an instinctive understanding of American ways and a sympathy with Yankee idiosyncrasies which gained for him a cordial regard everywhere he went. Perhaps the fact that he was married to an American wife had something to do with it, but that was not all, Sir Michael was genuinely, heartily, spontaneously, sympathetic and kindly. It is hardly conceivable that Great Britain can send another ambassador here who can win so high a place in so short a time. It is only a little more than a year since Sir Julian Pauncefote disappeared from the scene after thirteen years of service in Washington, and there were many men who thought that sturdy old English squire had made a record which could never be equalled; but Sir Michael was already on the road to winning a place in Washington which even Sir Julian never occupied. The British ambassador in America is a far more important personage now than the British minister was 20 years ago. Great Britain now feels it incumbent upon her to send her very best man, and the Washington embassy is regarded as the prize assignment in the entire diplomatic service. It is not so very long ago that it was regarded as something of a humiliation for a British diplomat to be sent here; but things have changed mightily of late. Diplomatic Washington is also to lose Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. A Diplomat of Distinction. Count Cassini has been here several years, and he has the reputation of being one of the most accomplished diplomats in Europe; but somehow or other he has always had the ill fortune to be mixed up in a fuss in every capital to which he is assigned. At Peking he is credited with having stirred up the troubles which Finally resulted in the grievous diplomatic tangle of three years ago in connection with the Roxer uprising. He is held responsible also for much or use in feeling which grew out of the Kishineff affair last summer. The count is a man of striking personal appearance and of great accomplishments, but it is no secret that the state department would not grieve greatly if the Russian government were to decide that his services would be of greater value to the empire elsewhere. It is of great importance that Russia should be represented here during the next few years by an ambassador who thoroughly understands the United States, and who can make himself personally acceptable to the powers with whom he is forced to come in contact. Our relations with Russia are becoming year by year more complicated, and they contain possibilities of international trouble unless they are handled with consummate skill. The Russian ministers of the czar realize this as well as our own secretary of state, and we may expect to see Count Cassini succeeded by somebody of infinite tact and diplomatic astuteness. One of the most notable things in Washington recently has been the suc Washington recent cess with which Secretary Cortelyou has managed to get the new department of commerce and labor into effective running order. J. B. It was a far more complicated task than it could have seemed to an outsider who was not familiar with the routine of administration in ministration in Frank H. Hitchcock, government departments, and for that reason Mr. Cortelyou will probably never receive the full credit which belongs to him for what he has done. He has taken a great many bureaus and independent divisions belonging to various departments or perhaps standing by themselves, and he has amalgamated them into the new department, lopping off superfluities, adjusting jurisdictions and fixing relative responsibilities. It is doubtful whether anybody could have come in from the outside and succeeded in this. It is due to Secretary Cortelyou's intimate acquaintance with all government departments and with administrative routine gained while in the post office department and at the white house that it has been possible to bring order out of chaos. It is doubtful, too, whether he could have done it if he had not been fortunate enough to select at the very beginning a chief clerk who is almost as much a master of administrative detail as Cortelyou himself. Frank H. Hitchcock, who has been the secretary's right hand man in this preliminary work, and who has been compelled to attend to the greater part of the detail of the reorganization, is a young Harvard graduate, who made a great reputation as a statistician in the agricultural department before Cortelyou picked him up. He is one of the most promising young men in the entire government service to-day. A quiet, modest, keen-witted army officer who is doing a great work with- out fuss or feathers is Lieut. Col. Clarence R. Edwards, the chief of the bureau of insular affairs in the war, department. DWV Col. Edwards has been at the head of the bureau of insular affairs ever since it was created as an outgrowth of the war with Spain, and under him it has Col. Edwards. under him it has developed into one of the most important bureaus of the government. There are times when the work that falls to his lot would be worthy of a cabinet officer, and he has never yet failed to meet every emergency as it arose. Col. Edwards is a young man. He was graduated at West Point in 1883, and he has seen service in Cuba and the Philippines. He has the head of a veteran and the manners of a prince of the blood. To see him at work one would not imagine that he had a serious problem to consider or any task of consequence to complete, and yet he is continually deciding knotty questions and accomplishing important results. He has to be familiar with problems of currency and the tariff as related to the Philippine islands and with every other detail of colonial administration. He is in effect a secretary of the treasury, a secretary of state, a secretary of agriculture and attorney general for the Philippines rolled into one. All the publications for the Philippines pass through his hands. He presides over a bureau of statistics and a general information bureau. He has charge of the records and the archives containing the papers which have been brought from the Philippines from time to time. In short, he is the representative in Washington of the Philippine government, and he goes about it all with the modest unobtrusiveness of a looker on. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE. Care of Table Idnen.

From a very early period the Cheyennes and Arapahoes have been more or less associated with each other, says the Arapahoe Bee. They seemed to have lived more or less in the same localities, moving from time to time from the same general causes. Their language is essentially different, so they do not understand each other, except as they have learned each other's language. This, in many cases, they have done, largely through the sign language, which is common to western Indians. These two tribes have largely intermarried. These intermarriages have existed for many years. There are many cases of men 50 years old and more, speaking both languages, who can say that they are half Cheyenne and half Arapahoe. Like the Cheyennes, the Arapahoes have been divided, a portion of the Arapahoes now being on a reservation in Wyoming, while others associated with the Cheyennes are now in Oklahoma. The Arapahoes are more submissive to the white man's rule and obey more readily the government orders. Under wise and beneficent management on the part of the white man they are capable of being made an industrious and self-supporting people. They are, in their way, a religious people. The Arapahoes have a large number of songs more or less religious. They are also now very much diseased. Tuberculosis in its various forms abounds. The death rate in recent years from various causes is large. TRUE, BUT NOT BIBLICAL Many Proverbs Credited to Good Book Which Are Not in It—Some Notable Instances. There are scores of wise saws, all containing more or less of truth, which are almost universally supposed to be in the Bible which cannot be found in its pages. One of the chief of these sentences is: "He tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." You would search the Bible pretty thoroughly before you would find that sentence in it. Where you would find it would be in Sterne's "Sentimental Journey." Sterne gets a good deal of praise for the origination of this sentence, says the Chicago Chronicle, but it was originated, as a matter of fact, before he was born. In a collection of French proverbs published in 1594 we find: "Dieu mesure le vent a la brebis tondue." That convicts Sterne of plagiarism. "In the midst of life we are in death"—everybody thinks that is in the Bible. It isn't, though; it is in the burial service. "That he who runs may read." This is another sentence supposed, wrongly, to be Biblical. It is not Biblical, though the Bible has something very like it—namely: "That he may run that readeth." "Prone to sin as the sparks fly upward." The Bible nowhere contains those words. "A nation shall be born in a day." The nearest thing to that in the good book is: "Shall a nation be born at once?" OPIUM IN DIVERSE FORMS. Devotes of Drug Choose Various Ways Of Obtaining Its Effects, Such Customers of opium are not all of the same kind. There are slaves of the pipe, slaves of the syringe and slaves of the powder, that is swallowed to give surcease of pain or of mental worry. There are those who take the drug in the form of a medicinal preparation, such as laudanum, paregoric and the extract of laudanum; those who smoke it and inhale the fumes into the lungs, and those who take hypodermic injections of morphia. The second class—the smokers—comprises the largest number of victims. Dr. Jeliffe, of the New York city hospital, estimates that fully 30,000 people in that city are addicted to the opium habit in some form. The annual sale of opium in Vermont is equivalent, according to the doctor, to a grain for every adult in the state, an amount obviously far greater than can be accounted for by its consumption for medicinal purposes. Some slaves to the drug take it regularly every day; others have periodical sprees similar to those of the alcohol drinker. A recent sea-serpent story coming from England tells how a marine monster apparently tried to swallow the good ship Glengrant, of Fraserburgh. At the first onslaught it lifted the vessel "at least six feet" as it dived underneath her; but, fortunately, when it came on again the only sailor man who kept his head dashed below and got a gun. It is not known whether he hit it; at any rate, the monster had had enough and cleared off. The sailors say this serpent was nearly 200 feet in length, with a head like a seahorse, a long mane, great green, glistening eyes and an enormous mouth and teeth. Positions' for Sharphooting. Standing, kneeling, sitting and lying down are the four positions prescribed for firing by the army regulations. The lying position alone is prescribed for the 800 and 1,000-yard ranges, while at all other ranges up to 200 yards the lying and sitting positions are used. At 100 and 200 yards the sitting and standing positions are prescribed. Wherever the sitting position is prescribed the kneeling may be substituted, but for the majority of persons the sitting is by far the better position of the two. HOW HE LEARNED TO SHOOT Baw Kentucky Recruit Could Bear Best of Army Markamen—Secret of His Knack. "Among a big batch of recruits assigned to my company a while ago," said a captain of infantry stationed at a far western post, according to the Washington Post, "was a gaunt, gawky Kentucky lad, of the mountaineer class, and not much above 20 years of age. He was growing so fast that he was as clumsy as a St. Bernard pup, and he fell all over himself in drill. Notwithstanding his perfect willingness, he was so inapt a soldier that I attached him to my quarters in the capacity of dog-robber or striker. Soon afterward my company was sent out for target practice on the ranges. My striker from Kentucky beat out every man in my company, some of them veterans wearing the 'distinguished marksman' medals, in a common canter. He was as crackerjack a rifle shot as I ever saw in the army and I'd be willing to bet that there's not a shootist in that team that lately won the Palma trophy in England that could outshoot him. The gawky Kentucky boy's performance on the range filled me with amazement, as it did everybody else who watched his marvelous shooting, and when he was through I said to him: "Look here, boy, where did you ever get a chance to practice such fine shooting?" "Pinkin' rev'noo officehs, suh,' he replied with a grin. 'Yo' all fuhgits, suh, that Ah'm f'om Kentucky.'" IMPORTS OF FRUITS. Vast Quantities of Lemons, Oranges and Bananas Reach New York Each Year. Mr. Frank W. Hawthorne, in an article on "Feeding a Great City," in Pearson's, gives some surprising statistics. He says that for the first six months in 1903 New York's lemon imports were 72,356,340 pounds, valued at $1,367,074 all from Italy. From all sources New York received in the year from July 1, 1902, to July 1, 1903, 1,875,000 boxes of lemons. Imports of oranges at New York during 1902 reached 24,412,424 pounds, valued at $411,307. More than half of them came from ports in the British West Indies, the bulk of the remainder from Italy; but in scattering lots Cuba, Mexico and Costa Rica figure, as well as Great Britain, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany, and Hong Hong sent us 3,418 pounds. For the first six months of 1903 New York's imports of oranges aggregated 7,328,074 pounds, valued at $123,264—nearly all from Italy. New York imported in 1892 a total of 5,329,711 bunches of bananas valued at $1,636,274. The British West Indies sent 2,862,728 bunches, Costa Rica 1,152,100 bunches, Colombia 877,249, San Domingo 82,455, and Cuba 355,179. For the first six months of 1903 the receipts at this port were 2,537,551 bunches, valued at $876,779. TERM HAD A OUEER ORIGIN. How a Quarter of a Dollar Came to Be Known as "Two Bits"— The "Thrip." "Did you ever hear the expression 'two bits' used as an equivalent for a quarter of a dollar?" asked a New Yorker of a reporter for the New York Mail and Express. "The term is commonly used in the south and west. Not one person in 1,000 even of those who habitually use the term knows its origin. "Even as late as the close of the eighteenth century the silver coinage of the United States had not superseded the Spanish 'milled' dollar in the west and south. Fractional currency was particularly scarce and to obtain this the Spanish 'milled' dollar was cut up to make change. Halves and quarters, of course, suggested their own names, but when the quarters were cut in two the word 'eighth' was discarded for 'bit,' a small slug having the value of 12½ cents. Many curio collectors have these slugs in their possession, although, of course, they have long since gone out of use as currency. "So with 'thrip,' used in New Orleans and the vicinity as an equivalent for the nickel or five-cent piece. 'Thrip' is merely an abreviation of 'threepence,' the coin of that value once in general use, representing about the same amount of money as a five-cent piece." BOTH WRONG. Missing Time Between Greenwich and Paris Found at Last After Painstaking Investigations. The investigations concerning the longitude differences between Greenwich and Paris have now been completed. The work has been of a particularly arduous and protracted nature, necessitating enormous calculations, says the Scientific American. Altogether, the English and French observers have carried out 230 observations, equivalent to 80 nights' work each. Two English and two French observers have been engaged upon the task. The observations were made at Greenwich and Paris simultaneously, and, in order to obtain similar results, the instruments were frequently interchanged. The results of these observations have proved both the Greenwich and Paris existent meridians to be erroneous, the calculations finally worked out just between the two. The discrepancy, however, is very minute, being only a small fraction of a second. Level Stretch of Ocean Bed. The bottom of the Pacific between Hawaii and California is said to be so level that a railway could be laid for 500 miles without any grading whatever. HEROIC LITTLE WOMAN. Clara Barton's History Is One of Devotion to Suffering Humanity Everywhere. An American woman who will never be forgotten is Miss Clara Barton, life president of the National Red Cross. A short distance from the nation's capital, in a charming location called Glen Echo, is her home. Here in a unique structure, which serves also as the headquarters for the National Red Cross, Miss Clara Barton resides with her stenographer and Red Cross staff. About 73 years ago, a soldier's home at Oxford, Mass., was brightened by the coming of a tiny daughter whom the parents called Clara Barton. She received her education in a private school at Clinton, N. Y., and when very young began teaching, founding a free school at Bordenton, N. J. Next she held a government position in the patent office at Washington. But she was destined for a wider sphere and when word came that our boys had been fired upon and wounded at Baltimore on their way to the capital, Miss Barton, among others, volunteered to go and care for them. There is no need to repeat the story of A. MISS CLARA BARTON. her faithful devotion to the sick and suffering during those long sad years of our country's strife. Wherever most needed, she was found laboring, and after peace was declared, still she toiled on for many months, identifying and marking the graves of the thousands of union men who had died at Andersonville and searching for the missing men from the north. The following two years were spent in giving lectures on her war experiences. But the strain upon her had been great and it was necessary to give heed to the claims of her own delicate organization. Accordingly, she crossed the waters and repaired to Switzerland to take her much-needed rest. While abroad she continued her charitable deeds, helping in the relief work of the Red Cross during the Franco-Russian war. It is to the efforts of Miss Barton that we owe the introduction of the Red Cross work into the United States. About 20 years ago this work with its effective methods of relief in case of national danger or disaster was founded. In the case of the Johnstown flood, the Michigan fires, the Galveston calamity and many minor misfortunes the Red Cross has been at the front. To prevent great and awful suffering, relief must be prompt, and so this organization has complete provision and preparation to lend a hand at a moment's warning. Many a dying soul has looked upon Clara Barton as an angel of mercy, as she has gone to its rescue, heedless of the danger in which she was placing herself, and thousands of living witnesses tell of her unselfish devotion to the lives of the needy. Miss Barton takes a great interest in the work of the public schools. Patriot that she is, she longs to see launched out upon life a noble, loyal generation. She feels that the effort being made to instill in children a love for country is producing the true type of citizen. Though now an elderly woman, she still possesses great vitality. Her face, almost stern when in repose, is marked with lines of strength; the soft, dark gray hair parts back from an intellectual forehead. The frail little figure, which has passed safely through so many dangers, is still as bravely active as when the Red Cross work first began. Fame came, but not at her seeking. She has simply done what seemed to her to lie at her right hand.—Prairie Farmer. Putting the Baby to Sleep. "I had tried everything to make my little one sleepy at the right time," said one of the progressive mothers, "and all to no avail. He simply would not sleep when I put him to bed. I had to forbid the 'romp with papa' after dinner, because it seemed to wake the boy up so thoroughly. I tried rubbing his feet and putting a hot water bag in the bed on cold nights. I tried feeding him just before taking off his clothes. Nothing had any effect on his excited nerves. Then the doctor suggested a remedy that worked like a charm. Taking off Jack's clothes, I sponged off his spine in hot water, beginning at the neck and passing down slowly and gently, and so over and over again. I kept the water as hot as could be borne, and continued the treatment until the skin was red. Then the back was dried gently and the child put into bed.

Mrs. Russell Sage Deplores the Growing Popularity of Flat and Apartment Life. "Are we becoming a nation without homes?" This is the vital question discussed by Mrs. Russell Sage in the Clubwoman. Mrs. Sage in a searching arraignment points out the various causes which are leading us to that much-dreaded reproach of homelessness. "Apartment life," she says, "which is really the solution of a knotty problem, brought about by the topographical formation of our metropolis and the enormous increase in the population, has come to be an accepted fact. It is, nevertheless, detrimental to family life, and makes real home life almost impossible. "When I first came to New York some years ago a schoolmate of mine was then living in one of the first apartment houses, where a breakfast of coffee and rolls was the only meal served for the guests. She met her husband after his business hours, and they dined at some fashionable restaurant. When I asked her where she went to church, she replied: 'Oh, I go to church on the same plan as I eat my dinner. I read over the notices in the Sunday papers, and if one minister is particularly attractive we go there. If none appeals to us, we read or go for a walk, and amuse ourselves in whatever way seems preferable at the time.' "There is certainly a growing desire on the part of women to free themselves from all household cares. Hotel life offers to many the easiest solution of the domestic question, and lazy women are really to blame for their trouble with servants, as the duties of the mistress toward the latter are not properly discharged. Three of my servants, the coachman and two maids, have been with me 30, 20 and 10 years, respectively, therefore I cannot say that the question has troubled me personally. A common interest blinds us together. Feeling that this is their home as well as mine, they do not refuse to do extra service whenever it is needed. "Club life to some extent is responsible for the desire on the part of so many women to get away from housekeeping and its attendant drudgery. "One evil of apartments is that it is difficult to find any of them at a moderate cost that are large enough from a sanitary and moral point of view. All rooms are on one floor. The child cannot be isolated from the mother, and the latter cannot obtain the necessary rest, which is imperative to her well-being. "The problem of space is not solved, even in the country. But the worst phase of all summer life is that spent at a large seaside or mountain hotel: Who can see without a feeling of pity the plight of the ```markdown ``` MRS. BUSSELL SAGE children? They are relegated more than ever to the care of servants. The mothers either stay in bed until noon, reading, or, upon getting up, sit in the parlor listening to the music and dawdling over fancy work. The children are sent away to spend the greater part of their time where it is most congenial for the nursemaids, leaving the mothers free to enjoy the pleasures of hotel life. I have known children to take their luncheons during a whole summer in the servants' dining-room. Evening comes while the children are having their tea. The mother is dressing for dinner. Then the children go to bed and the mother to the drawing-room or veranda to listen to the music and talk (I won't say gossip). "The desecration of the Sabbath which this restlessness has engendered grieves me greatly. I will not say 'there is no Sabbath,' but excessive entertaining draws people away from church attendance and produces the worst effect of all upon the home life. "The breakdown of many women is today due largely to too much excitement and no rest on Sunday. Entertaining to excess is transplanted from the city to the country. The children are left more and more to the care of servants. They receive no moral training. The child must have guidance, and no training, however scientific, can compete with that given by a loving and conscientious mother." It is impossible to tell whether a color is fast before washing, but by far the safest plan is to "set" the color before it goes to the tub for the first time. One of the best methods of settling delicate colors consists in simply making a strong brine of cold water and salt and soaking the garment from 12 to 24 hours. Of course this should be done just before going to the laundry, and the salt should not be allowed to dry in it. This is especially good for all shades of pink and green, and colors once set this way will be bright as long as it would be possible to expect it. A strong solution of alum and water is good, particularly with blue, and the more delicate shades of brown, but its effect is not so lasting as that of salt and it is sometimes necessary to renew the bath after the first three or four washings. Some people recommend solutions of lead and copperas, but as both of these are poisonous drugs, it is better to avoid them.—Chicago Daily News. It was our pleasure to spend a portion of last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Hardy, $800 Justine St., and in order to make us feel that life is worth living Mrs. Hardy feasted us on cake and homemade wine and the cake tasted mighty good. It may be interesting to state that Mr. Hardy has completed arrangements to erect a two-story pressed brick flat building consisting of six flats with all modern improvements on the front part of his lot, and when it is completed it will be one of the finest flat buildings in the city. This shows thrift and enterprise on the part of friend Hardy and his good wife.

PERTINENT POINTERS. Any man who speaks nothing but the truth is never garrulous. The chronic kicker isn't even satisfied with his lot in the cemetery. The less a man knows the easier it is to convince him that he knows it all. When a wise man wants to call his wife down he calls her up by telephone. Lack of originality in some people's conversation displays their good judgment. Happy is the man who is married to a woman who did not take her cooking lessons at the piano.

FIRCHBERGER & CO. TELEPHONE AS WINE-TESTER. One hears of wonderful new applications or uses for the electric current—some of real value, others nonsensical, but probably one of the latest is the testing of wine by means of the telephone. According to the Paris correspondent of a London daily paper, a M. Maneuvrier, director of the laboratory of researches of the Paris Faculty of Sciences, has discovered an infallible method of ascertaining by means of the telephone how much a given quantity of wine has been watered. The principle on which the invention rests is the variable conductivity of different liquids, notably wine and water. The originality of M. Maneuvrier's ingenious application is his use of the telephone to determine to what degree the liquid under observation is a conductor. He has constructed an apparatus, the details of which are not given, which is said to achieve this object satisfactorily and accurately. The apparatus works as follows: Two vessels, one containing wine known to be pure, and the other the same quantity of the wine to be tested, are placed on an instrument outwardly resembling a pair of scales. The telephone is in contact with both liquids. If the sample of wine under observation is as pure as the standard used for comparison no sound is heard; if, on the contrary, it contains water, the tell-tale telephone "speaks," and the greater the proportion of water the louder the instrument complains. HOW JAPS PLAY KEN. Old Game Gives Belles of Far East Opportunity to Display Their Beautiful Hands. In its most widely practiced form the basis of the Japanese game of ken is that the fully outstretched hand signifies paper; the fully closed hand, a stone; and two fingers alone extended, the rest being closed, scissors. Each of the players, says the Japan Mail, counting one, two, three, throws out his hand, at the moment of pronuncing three, and the out whose manual symbol is superior to that of the others, according to the theory of the game, was the trial. Superiority is determined on the hypothesis that whereas scissors cannot cut a stone, they can cut paper, and whereas paper is cut by scissors, it can wrap up a stone. Consequently scissors is inferior to stone, but conquers paper; stone is inferior to paper, but conquers scissors, and paper is inferior to scissors, but conquers stone. There are innumerable varieties of the game—for it is not a mere method of determining a dispute of priority—and they are constantly added to by ingenious young ladies, the dancing-girl class especially, who play it with exquisite grace and judicious enhancement of beautiful hands and arms. X-RAY COLORS DIAMONDS. Chicagoan Discovers Method of Giving Stones Any Color Chosen, Also of Bleaching Them Again. From Chicago the following dispatch has been received: Predictions of a tim when the brown diamonds in the crown of Edward, the Hope diamond and other famous gems of the kind can be practically duplicated at will were made by W. G. Fuchs at a Chicago X-ray experiment station. Mr. Fuchs announced the discovery of a process by which he is able to change a diamond to any color chosen and make such coloration permanent by the use of the Roentgen days. The method consists in directing the X-ray through the substances from which the color is to be obtained before the rays touch and penetrate the diamond. Various metals and chemicals have been used to color the diamonds, and it has been found that by reversing the method, the color may also be removed. tI is thought by Mr. Fuchs that when he has completely perfected his experiments he will be able to bleach yellow diamonds with ease. Puzzling Fact. A puzzling fact is that the walls of the intestines and the parasites often living on them are never digested by the ferments that attack, destroy and transform the food. Frenzel, in 1891, suggested that protective anti-ferments are secreted by living tissues. In some late experiments M. Weinland, a French physiologist, sought to digest fibrine in trypsine or pepsin after first adding a little juice from intestinal worms, but the ferment had no effect upon the fibrine in the presence of the anti-ferment juice. It is thus proven that the juice secreted by and impregnating living tissues—instead of the tissues themselves—resist digestion. The anti-ferment extract is exceedingly powerful and retains its resisting power for months, but it loses its property on boiling. Population of Abyssinia. The population of Abyssinia is about 10,000,000. The products of the country, exclusive of cereals, are ivory, albeth or civet, wax, hides, coffee and gold, the latter abounding in the mountains, where the mines are merely scratched. In cotton, North Americans have captured the market against England, France and Germany. In spite of the high price of labor and the enormous cost of freight for such a distance, Americans have succeeded in capturing the trade by the low prices of their products. Different nations sell these goods, but they are all American made. Chrysanthus acaura.
