THE AFRO=AMERICAN HIS EMOTIONAL RELIGION
And His Terrible or Appalling Horror of Death
THE AFRO HIS EMOTION And His Te palling De
Without the slightest exaggeration or misrepresentation of the truth, it can be reasonably asserted that there is not another human being or individual claiming to be thoroughly civilized on the face of the earth who spends as much valuable time preparing for death, and who entertains such a terrible or appalling horror of it, like unto the Afro-American. Since emerging from the house of bondage, the Afro-American has made remarkable progress in many directions, but up to the present time his progress in the religious or in the political world has been almost imperceptible; hence he entertains narrow or contracted ideas in regard to his politics, and he is full of crude or childish impressions as to his final destiny after death.
The religious and the political leaders of the Afro-American are largely responsible for his unprogressiveness in this respect, for his political representatives have simply used him to add to their wealth and to further their own political aspirations, without the least thought of improving his, and for years the vast majority of his religious teachers have plucked him of the greater portion of his hard-earned money, in order to maintain great religious institutions with out putting forth the slightest effort to improve his morals or to expand or enlarge his mental ideas pertaining to his moral obligations to his fellow-men and as to his existence in the future world.
Under the guidance of such religious leaders, who delight in tickling the vanity of the Afro-American for the sole purpose of wiggling him out of his money, it is therefore not strange that the highest ambition of the Afro-American is to expand the most of his valuable time in getting ready to die, or to fall asleep in the arms of Jesus, and that he entertains such an awful and appalling horror of death. His emotional religion leads him at all times to believe that he is amply prepared to die; that he knows that there is an ever-living God; that he will wear his golden crown, and dwell with him forever more in heaven, where the weary shall be at rest, free from all sin, sorrow and corruption, where they will sing and play upon golden strung harps, feast on sweet milk and honey, peramulate up and down the streets which are paved with gold and other precious stones, and bask in the warm sunshine to their hearts' content.
Eloquently he will paint the grandeur and the everlasting beauty of his imaginary or illusionary heaven to those who do not possess wisdom like himself; but let the Afro-American who is always easily swayed by his emotional religion accidentally cut his little finger or become indisposed, and he will summons all the doctors in town to pull him through, all the time exclaiming that he wants to live and that he is not ready to die and stand in the presence of his hand-made God. He will frankly tell you when he recovers form a slight spell of sickness that he was so afraid he would die, that he knows what this world is but he is not so sure how he will fare in the next world, which would seem to imply that his so-called religion is good enough to live
by, but that it is not good enough to die by, and that it utterly fails to console him or to guide him through the dark valley of death.
Finally, when the cold hand of death is laid upon him and there is no escaping it, his last request is that a big funeral be held over his remains in some church so that a half or a dozen preachers and as many leaders of the various secret societies to which he belonged may have the opportunity of lauding him to the heavens, dwelling at length on his last testimony. Then the preachers will at the same time admonish those under the sound of their voices that unless they then and there make up their minds to repent of their past sins, and give their hearts to God, that the devil and his hosts of fallen angels may in the twinkling of an eye grab them by the nape of the neck and drag them down to the lowest depths of an everlasting sheol where they will suffer indescribable turtles of every kind for as many billion years as there are grains of sand upon the seashore. Then after they have succeeded in causing the relatives and friends of the departed one to faint and scream out in agony and pain, and many other persons, mostly tight-laced women, to swoon away and moan or take on as though they had been stricken by the power of the Lord from on high, while the excitement and commotion is at high water mark in the church, the lid on the coffin is removed and the people are requested to march by it in single file and gaze on the face of the dead.
In many instances hundreds of people will join in these grand solemn processions who never knew or heard of the deceased, and many times some of them as they pass by the coffin place their hands on the forehead of the dead in order, so they say, that they may not see ghosts nor dream of the dead. In the majority of cases the funerals of the Afro-American are conducted in such a manner so as to inspire in him an appalling horror of death, which at the very best is merely the bursting of a cell.
In the far distant future, when the Afro-American becomes familiar with the solar system and with the laws which govern and regulate the movements of the heavenly bodies in their orderly procession around this planet, and the vast systems of other worlds which are far beyond our earthly vision, and the relation which they all sustain to the universe which is in constant motion or revolution, when he also familiarizes himself with the laws of nature, he will learn that they are immutable, that they are no respecters of persons, that they never have nor cannot be suspended in the interest of one single individual, that every species of the animal kingdom, and in fact everything that breathes the breath of life, meets with instant death if there is the slightest attempt made to ascend five thousand miles above the horizon line.
When the Afro-American drinks in enlarged ideas as to the immensity of the universe, then he will refrain from entertaining such an appalling horror of death. Then he will fully realize the fact—
That we do not regret that we did not live before we were born,
HEW TO THE LINE.
CHICAGO, JULY 8, 1905.
NOAH DAVIS THOMPSON.
One of the Efficient and Painstaking Clerks of the United States Express Company.
Noah Davis Thompson is one of the most widely and favorably known Afro-American business men in this city. For many years he has held responsible clerical positions with the United States Express Company, and by his straightforward conduct he has amply proven that the Negro is an indispensable factor in the industrial progress of Chicago.
Asking no special favors or privileges because of his color, Mr. Thompson has for fifteen years worked most assiduously for his employer's interests, from messenger boy to confidential clerk. Thousands of Chicago's shipping public readily recall the polite and efficient service rendered them by this man, whose employer recommends as "a good worker in whatever he undertakes."
Some day our employers through out the country will find it to their best interest to put their employer under a form of "civil service." Engaging men of good character and intelligence, and to promote them according to their efficiency, irrespective of color or creed. Then we may safely depend upon the likes of Mr. Thompson to show that we have men who are capable of filling any position in the gift of the enterprising and progressive employer.
why should we regret that we will not live after we are dead? Still, many of us, like children, cry for the moon. Whence came we, and whither do we go? are questions that have engaged the thoughts of the best minus for all time, but as yet have received no satisfactory answer. Tracing our steps backward they are lost in the mist of the past; and looking forward, we behold an impenetrableell suspended from the portals of the bridge that spans the river of Death. When our loved ones pass away the somber gates swing on their hinges, and they pass out of our sight. We may cry out in anguish and beseech the grim watchman to give us a hint of their destiny, but no sign is given, and the veil is not lifted. The echo of no loving voice is wafted across the silent waters to fall like music on our waiting ears, and no angel forms gladden our eyes or stir the murky atmosphere of the tomb with the rustle of a wing. We turn to interrogate the elements, the earth, the sea, the air and the sky. These tell us that we came up from the depths, each a part of the one great whole, each a note in the grand choral symphony of the universe.
Therefore, it should be a pleasure to die! For life is but a shadow on the wall—a falling leaf toyed with by autumn winds—a flower—a star—and we are but breath whispering against the wind—sand in the desert—dew upon the sea!
John Hay, Secretary of State, who passed away last week, was laid to rest at Cleveland, O., Wednesday. Secretary Hay enjoyed the distinction of being in the public service longer than most any other man in this country; but with all that he was an honest man.
The Fourth of July has come and gone, and in celebrating it in Chicago a smaller number of people were killed and injured, and a smaller amount of property destroyed by fire than in previous years, thanks to Chief O'Neill and Mayor Dunne for insisting upon observing a sane Fourth of July.
recall the polite and efficient service rendered them by this man, whose employer recommends as "a good worker in whatever he undertakes." Some day our employers throughout the country will find it to their best interest to put their employees under a form of "civil service." Engaging men of good character and intelligence, and to promote them according to their efficiency, irrespective of color or creed. Then we may safely depend upon the likes of Mr. Thompson to show that we have men who are capable of filling any position in the gift of the enterprising and progressive employer.
TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.
The case of Mary Rogers of Vermont involves the important personal liberty principle embodied by Charles Sumner in the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution. Upon application of her lawyers before Judge Wheeler of the United States Circuit Court, the prisoner was taken out of the custody of the State of Vermont and remanded to the custody and protection of the United States. This was done under the contention of the prisoner's counsel, that because of the peculiar laws of Vermont and the procedures of its courts, she had been deprived of her constitutional rights in defending her personal liberty and her life, and had thereby, been deprived of a fair trial.
This is the assertion in the State of Vermont of the Supremacy of Federal Authority over State Authority in all that pertains to the defense of the liberty and life of the citizen. Gov. Bell recognized the principle laid down by Judge Wheeler by granting a reprieve for the condemned woman. This was done in order that the Supreme Court of the United States might reew and pass upon the case as the court of final resort. It appears from Judge Wheeler's decision, that Federal supremacy over State authority in all that pertains to the citizen's right to protection of liberty and life, forms an inherent part of the Constitutional structure of the United States. It will be remembered, that this was one of the issues of the American Slave Holders' Civil War of 1861-65. Mr. Sumner was not satisfied, however, with the settlement of this great issue by the sword. He demanded at the close of the War, that it should be settled by peaceful Constitutional procedure. Hence the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution, an amendment which I will analyze in a future letter. It is quite an unexpected turn, this in the wheel of Fate to have the statesmanship of Charles Sumner, antagonizing the "statesmanship"(?) of Ben Tillman, in other words, civilization through law and
liberty under law, against mere brute force and semi-barbarism and violation of law.
The Colored people of the country should employ the best legal talent to follow up the Mary Rogers case. It involves for them a vital principle.
Speaker Cannon of Illinois, and Ex-Governor Black, of New York, would be admirable selections, for such a purpose.

Providence, R. I., July 3, 1905.
MR. AND MRS. S. C. TYLER TO LEAVE FOR PANAMA.
Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Tyler, 5026 Armour avenue, are making preparations to leave for Panama Monday evening. Mr. Tyler will journey to New York City, with Mr. John F. Stevens, late Second Vice-President of the Rock Island Road, who is one of the best railroad men in this country, who will have charge of constructing the Panama canal, and they will without delay depart from New York for Panama. Mr. Tyler will be Mr. Stevens' confidential man. He will have charge of the U. S. building at that point, and more than twenty natives will be subject to his orders. He will receive one hundred dollars per month, and a house to live in and provisions for Mrs. Tyler.
Monday evening Mrs. Tyler will leave the city for St. Paul, Minn., where she will spend one month visiting with her bosom friend, Mrs. Toby; from that city she will go to St. Louis, Mo., and spend one month with her dear mother, and in the early part of September she will sail from New York City to join her husband at Panama.
They expect to be absent three or five years and with the rest of their numerous friends, we wish them good health and unbounded success at Panama, and a safe return to the United States.
Sees Many Things.
We clip the following from an exchange:
"Editors are the first to hear of gossip, indiscretion of men and women, things unfit for publication intrigues, clandestine meetings, night buggy rides, young girls gone astray, flirtations with married women, amours of married men—and in fact all neighborhood scandals. Editors generally know all the naughty doings in a community, no matter how secret. If one-half they hear was published, divorce suits would follow in some cases, social ostracism in others, shotguns and gore, desolate homes, imprisonment, lynching, humiliation, shame and misery. The editor learns much of the shame and hypocrisy of life, and it is a wonder that he believes in anything on earth or in the hereafter. People who abuse the editor the loudest sometimes owe their standing in society to his forbearance."—Ex.

Strange Inquests.
In England when hidden treasure te
found the law requires the coroner to
hold an inquest, over it. Formerly tt
| was a coroner's duty to hold an inquest
in case of a burglary. A statute of Bd-
ward I. decrees that “when coroners
are commanded by the king's bailiffs
or by the honest men of the county
they shall go to the places where any
be slain or suddenly dead or wounded
or where houses are broken or where
treasure is said to be found, and shall
forthwith command four of the next
towns, or five, or six, to appear before
‘him in such a place.”
Fooled the Censor.
During the South African: war the
censorship of soldiers’ letters home
‘was very strict. One soldier, who al-
way sent an account of the doings of
the regiment, which account was al-
‘ways blotted out by the censor, laid a
plan for revenge. At the foot of his
next letter he wrote:’ “Look under the
stamp.” The censor did 80, after
spending considerable time in steam-
ing the stamp from the envelope, And
he found these words: “Was it hard
to get off?”

College and Common Sense,
Prof. H. C. Annsling, in @ recent ad-
dress in London, said that school and
college education were mostly destruc-
‘tive of common sense. The classical
‘school was not a school of thought, but
of prejudice; and under the present
unfortunate system of education it was
chiefly the games which promoted
alertness, individuality and common
‘eense.
Poor Pay in the Pulpit.
Somebody has hunted up the figures
and found that the average salary of
a Harvard professor is $3.980, while
the average minister in the vicinity
of Boston draws $600. This may par-

schools are not turning away appli-
cants.—Minneapolis Journal.
Cheap Brides:
In one district near Uganda, East
Africa, most of the natives profess
Christianity, have formed parliaments

a law fixing the price of all brides at
$3.30, irrespective of their beauty and
accomplishments.
The Great Lesson of Life.
To accept the inevitable; neither to

SAY BRIDE CLINGS TO VEIL
Artists Declare Newly Married Wom-
an Loves Her Costume and
Always Wears It.
Artists say that only on rare occ®
sions will a bride take her veil from
her head and lay it aside when she is
photographed. They assert that prob-
ably once in a hundred times will such
a thing happen, for they want the veil
to show up prominently in the photo-
‘graph. .
HL W. Mills, of Wheaton, Ill., says a
bride and groom came into his studio
the other day, and he was surprised to
see the bride remote her veil and.
with the flowers she carried, arrange it
on a table. Then she drew the table
close beside her and told the artist she
was ready.
Nothing will tempt a bride to part
with a veil that she has once had pho-
tographed as a part of her wedding
dress. In Du Page county, Illinois, a
singular custom regarding the preser-
vation of the veil prevails. A large,
box-like frame is constructed and a

TIE IN BRITISH COMMONS
An Unusual Occurence in This Famous
Body—Has Happened Three
‘Times in a Century.
London journalists were reminded of
sn interesting bit of. political history
by a recent incident at the British
house of commons. A division in the
house upon a question relating to Lon-
don street railways resulted in a tie—
171 members on each side. Thereupon
the speaker gave the casting vote in
the negative. A tie in the house of
commons is unusual, for this was the
first time in many years that one had
occurred. The last important division
previously that called for the vote of
the speaker took piace in 1861. But
just a century ago, in April, 1805, a
resolution aimed at Lord Melville, a
leading member of the cabinet, re-
ceive 216 votes, and an equal number
‘was given in opposition. The speaker
gave the casting vote in favor of the
resolution. In consequence of this vote,
Lord Melville was impeached the next
year, 1806. He was accused of appro-
priating public funds, but was finally
acquitted. He was a great friend of
Mr. Pitt, the prime minister, who did
his utmost to prote him, and who
was greatly grieved at the vote of the
speaker.
WEAK CAN BEAR PAIN BEST
Physical Power Not Always Best in
Severe Operations, Declares
Famous Surgeon.
Dr. J. P. Lockart Mummery, the fa-
mous British surgeon, says it is often
extremely difficult to estimate the con-
dition of a patient with regard to his
power of standing a severe operation.
Often a weakly iooking individual, who
looks as if he would not stand a severe
operation well, stands it quite well, and
vice versa.
This is accounted for by the fact
‘that @ person of poor physique who
leads @ strenuous life has often much
more highly developed nerve centers
than one of robust physique who leads
‘a life of ease and indolence, which
makes but slight calls upon his nerve
centers for ‘great or sudden activity.
The mental condition of a patient
prior to operation has a considerable
influence upon the development of
shock. Patients who dread an opera-
tion and who are in a state of consid-
erable mental anxiety before the an-
aesthetic is administered are more lia-
ble, other things being equal, to devel-
op shock than those whose mental
equilibrium is undisturbed.
Color Treatment of Disease.
In long experimenting with grass so-
lutions, an English bidlogist. has no-
ticed that putrefaction does not occur
in strong red or blue light, is only sim-
ulated in clear yellow, but really takes
place in dirty yellow light or in dark-
ness. He has also seen that workers
behind dirty yellow screens are subject
to skin eruptions. This has suggested
te him the novel idea of color treat-
ment of disease, a dirty yellow of the
skin being assumed to indicate a de-
generation of the yellow fluids of the
body—the bile, ete—anf to require a
yellow restorative, lixe dandelion, lem-
on or sulphur, while lack of healthful
redness shows the need of a red tonte
and massage with a red stone. Blue is
needed for “black blood,” congestion,
chills and to destroy mold fungus.

ASHINGTON.—
President Roose-
velt in his sum-
mer home at Oy-
ster Bay is not an
fdte man. He per-
forms virtually the
y same routine du-
tles there that he
does in the execu-
tive offices here in
‘Washington. When
_ he leaves this city
he does not leave behind him the cares
of office nor does he lay aside con-
sideration of the great questions that
demand his attention. In one way he
gets relief at Oyster Bay, and that is
the restriction there naturally is upon
the number of his daily callers. The
executive offices are located in the
village of Oyster Bay, some two or
three miles away from the presideat’s
own home, In those offices Secretary
‘Loeb conducts the routine business,
‘and occasionally the president calls
and looks over some papers, but most
of the business is carrieg by the sec-
retary to Sagamore Hill, where the
president can attend to it untroubled
by persistent visitors.
‘This will be a very busy season with
Mr. Roosevelt, and he will have many
questions to determine before congress
meets. At his country home he will
take up the study of the tariff and
reach a decision as to whether he will
recommend that congress undertake a
remodeling of the schedules. In the
comfortable quarters of his summer
residence he will meet such men as
Senator Aldrich, Senator Burrows, Sen-
ator Allison, Congressman Payne, and
others who are admittedly experts on
this question, and will confer with
them upon‘the tariff. Between his
holiday diversions the president will
give attention to the railway rate ques-
tion. It is not unlikely that from the
humble village cf Oyster Bay will also
issue orders and decisions that will
have an important bearing upon inter-
national affairs.
‘With all the time he will devote to
public matters, however, the president
will still be able to enjoy a vacation
and the outdoor pastimes of which he
is so fond. His home at Sagamore
Hill offers full facilities for such in-
dulgences.

A FEW FASHION NOTES.
Soft Kid Waistcoats Remain in Fa-
vor and Velvet Collars and
Cuffs Again Return.
In making plaits of any kind for trim-
ming, the fact should be borne in mind
that it is good policy to leave the bast-
ings in the plaits until the garment is
entirely finished. Many home dress-
makers are in too big a hurry to take
out basting threads. In buying a ready
made box plaited or plaited skirt.
it will be noticed that when it
reaches home the garment still
has the plaits stitched ~down
with bastings, and that ought to
be hint enough to induce the amateur
to leave her bastings in place till she is
almost ready to wear the garment. Of
course, this does not apply in the case of
bastings for seams or hems, but just for
those which are put to hold certain
things in place and which can just as
well remain in the garment till such
time as it is completed. Plaits in waists
especially sleeves, can be left in, thoug
the temptation is strong in the amateur
to remove them and “see how it looks.”
But the exercise of a little patience in
this respect means added comeliness tc
the completed garment.
‘The soft kid waistcoat is as popular
as ever. It is generally made double
breasted, and cut away to take in a
chemisette of plaited muslin and Valen
ciennes lace, or one of coarse lace and
perhaps a rolled collar of some colored
velvet. A touch of velvet is always 2

‘The changes that have been made in
tailor mades are not so great as those
that have been made in other branches
of dress, because for some time past the
pioneers in the sartorial world have de-
termined that the tailor made frock
should be plain in cut, with sleeves of
small, neat dimensions, ard the note
of elaboration is struck by braidings and
similar trimmings.

White Muslim Makes Attractive Dress for Summer Bride—Brides Usually Prettier Without Veils—Married in Her "Going Away" Gown—Multiplying Gowns Which Will Only Grow Old-Fashioned—Underclothing Hand-Made or Ready-Made—Advantages of Bride Who Does Her Own Work.
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER
(Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Polly, bless her dear heart, is getting ready to be married. It will be the first wedding in the family, and the family current sets strongly and swiftly toward the happy event. Naturally Polly, her mother and her sisters are much occupied over the trousseau. "Spare no expense," says the father, whose pride in this dear girl knows no bounds.
Notwithstanding this liberal carte blanche on his part, the mother is aware that too lavish outlay now will mean a reckoning day hereafter, with most undesirable pinching and skimping. Still, the family is a unit, as to the necessity that Polly shall have a creditable outfit, and her brothers and sisters are not reluctant to practice economy that she may have everything she needs.
What does an intending bride really need? This is a closer inquiry than it would be were it differently worded. We are not considering what an intending bride may wish. There is a wide distance between need and want Polly, if she is as we suppose a sensible American girl, with a wise head on her shoulders, means to conform to her circumstances with perfect contentment. She is going to marry a young fellow whose home is in a small inland town, whose business prospects are good, and whose habits are steady. As yet, he is only living on a salary which warrants him in setting up a simple home, but which leaves no margin for display. Looking forward with brave hearts to their blended future, John and Polly are dwelling in one of those charming dreams that come true for self-respecting young people like themselves.
Put the emphasis on the adjective. The younger they are, the more years they will have to be happy together, the more courage and enthusiasm they will have, the more spontaneity of enjoyment. The rose-colored days are before them in which to climb the hill together.
. . .
To return to the trousseau, let us take the gowns first, though they are not the most important. They are, rather, the most conspicuous.
A summer bride should, if possible, be married in white, and in white attire there is a great variety of fabrics from which to choose. A bride looks as lovely in white muslin, white wool or white net, as in brocade, silk or satin, and her white wedding gown, of whatever material it be fashioned, will furnish her prettiest evening dress for any occasion which may arise during the next year or two.
A bride need not wear a veil unless she chooses. If she does choose, it may be of inexpensive net, and will then be as becoming as if it were point lace. Bridal veils are heirlooms in some families. A girl likes to be married in a veil that her mother and her grandmother wore on their respective wedding days. Veils are, however, not in themselves especially attractive adjuncts. A girl usually looks prettier without one.
Some brides prefer to be married in what is now called the going away gown. We used to call it the traveling dress. When this is chosen, the bride who, like Polly, must study economy, will select a soft gray or brown stuff, which will serve later for church or visiting, or an afternoon reception. It must include a skirt, jacket and waist, should be tailor-made and very smart in every detail. To relieve and save this costume, a short black walking skirt and a jacket of either black or covert cloth are desirable for second best. The bride should have one black silk of etamine gown, beautifully made, in her trousseau as this will be suitable for functions of every kind, both in winter and summer. If in addition to this, she can have a simple gown of gray wool she will be beautifully fitted out. One or two plique or linen skirts, a supply of cotton shirt waists sufficient to enable the wearer to be always fresh, cool and dainty in appearance, and two or three print or gingham frocks for working about the house, are requisite. If Polly can manage it, she should have a raincoat and a golf cap, and she will need two hats—one for best and one for every day. Of course, there are brides and brides; some will get on with much less than the bride which I have indicated. Others will provide much more, but for many reasons a too elaborate tousseau is a great mistake. There is no sense or use in multiplying gowns which only grow old-fashioned.
For underclothing, let Polly provide a half dozen of each piece. It is well to have the underclothing made at home, and very fastidious brides like it made by hand. But it may be bought ready-made in the shops and be quite as satisfactory. Stockings, shoes, gloves and handkerchiefs, belts and stocks are to be considered as the finishings of the bride's wearing apparel. As Polly will supply the household linen, she must consider how many beds she will have and think over the requisites for her table. If her mother is of a provident turn, the household
linen, was ready some little time ago. Two pairs of sheets and four pairs of pillow slips must be allowed for each bed, but as company or illness make extra demands on the linen closet, it is best not to be thus limited. To have as many sheets and pillow slips as one can afford, is the best rule. They need not actually be of linen, which is a term used by courtesy. Linen sheets are very nice, but fine cotton ones answer every purpose, and are preferred by many people. Four dozen towels inclusive of those for hands, face and bath are not too many. Beside these, there must be three dozen of different kinds of towels for kitchen use. Blankets, comfortables and spreads are also provided by the bride.
Polly's girl friends sometimes get together before the wedding and give her a linen shower. Nothing in the line of dainty linen comes amiss at such a time, and it is much better for a group of friends to combine and thus fully furnish a linen chest, than to scatter their gifts over many costly articles of ornament that give a passing pleasure, but are of little use. Exquisite center pieces and dollies, tray cloths, carving cloths and luncheon cloths, napkins of different sizes and everything that belongs to delicate napery fill a bride's heart with pleasure. Polly's trousseau should have only sweet thoughts associated with it. It is the most beautiful time of her young life.
Let us hope that our bride will for awhile do her own work. Unless she does, it is likely that her beautiful linens and dalinity underclothing will suffer many things at the hands of incompetent and careless women, who work devastation when fine linen comes to the wash board and the tub. If Polly is going to employ a maid, let us hope that she will begin by being mistress in her kitchen. A girl who is about to marry should not let her color fade or her health wane over her trousseau. But she will do well to learn some of those simple arts of housekeeping which save money and bring comfort in the new home. No matter how rich she may be, her personal supervision will be needful, and if she is comfortably poor, she will have the greater independence.

Avoid Stiffness.
Beware of allowing your joints to grow stiff. Take enough exercise outside of housework to keep yourself supple, or take such pains to move lightly about the house that the suppleness will last without other aid. In bending or rising do not allow yourself to feel or appear stiff. If your work is really so hard that you go to bed aching, get some one to rub you, and if this is impossible, rub yourself. This is less restful, but it is, nevertheless, of some use. Pour out a little alcohol into the palm of the hand, then rub briskly, repeating until the skin glows. Finish with the flesh brush, and go to bed with the determination to sleep—or rather, that sleep will come of itself, for this is a more restful mood.
A Cure for Colds
Here is a cure for colds of any kind. It has been tested repeatedly and has never failed, and as I used to catch cold, which resulted in a bad attack of bronchitis, I can speak from experience, says a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. In cases of pneumonia it will not fail to cure if taken in time. Make a ball of cotton batting about the size of a small marble, saturate it well with alcohol, then drop on to it six drops of chloroform; cover it lightly with a thin piece of cotton batting, hold to the mouth, and inhale the fumes, inflating the lungs well. It will open and expand every lung cell instantly.
A. Harsh Skin.
A dry, harsh skin needs a cold cream and almond oil. If the skin is red and chapped leave all creams alone and first apply a paste of almond meal mixed with oil.
In High Favor.

TOO RICH AND RECKLESS
Butler Gives Reason Why Wealthy People's Servants Go the Wrong Road.
"You see, sir," began the old butler, according to Everybody's Magazine, "my son took service with Mr. Lingard. As honest and well-meaning a young man he was as ever lived when he started, and that's why I want to speak out now and tell you gentlefolks that it ain't altogether a servant's fault when he goes wrong. You don't mean it, but you're careless in your talk, and it's all heard and repeated and set store by in a way you'd hardly believe. Your fathers and mothers, gentlemen and ladies, they were different, and looked after their servants and their houses different. But you don't care what we are like if things run smooth and give you no trouble. The tradesmen, maybe, bld to the butler and cook for your custom, and the higher the bills are the better it is for them both, and half the time you don't take no notice, and it gets kind of easy to pick up things in little ways. Everybody's too rich and too reckless and that's the whole trouble. What do these young men that's waiting on the table hear talked at all the time? Why, money, and how much you can do with it, and how mean you look without it. That's not just what you say, but that's how they hear it. They see extravagance all round them, and hear it talked all the time, and they go and do the same. If you boast of how much you've made playing cards and betting on the races, why they'll think it's a grand thing to do, and they'll do it once too often and be catched like my poor boy. I ain't defending William, but, if you will excuse me, you stole his conscience, sir, before he stole his silver. You'll get back your property, but he'll never get back what he's lost—and if you send him to prison, he—he'll come out worse than he went in. He was a good lad when he went to you, but you do keep a rather fast house, sir, and it's hard for an ignorant man to see higher than his betters. If you'd give him a chance—if you'd let him off—"
CHINA A POULTRY COUNTRY
Farmers of the Orient Handle Enormous Consignments of Eggs at One Time.
The keenest of poultry farmers is, as Mr. Chamberlain once said of himself in another connection, "a child in these matters" as compared with the poultry farmers of China. A traveler passing through the province of Chekiang a few weeks ago was struck with the enormous number of young chickens carried in the farmers' carts he met in the T'intal country. He made inquiries on the subject, and at length he was asked by a poultry farmer to go and inspect his rearing arrangements. The plant deals with 10,000 eggs at a time and the average product is 5,000 chicks. The arrangements are simple and inexpensive, but they include opportunities for the scientific examination of the eggs in the course of incubation, and it is amusing to hear that where the eggs on examination through the testing holes do not show signs of fertilization at the end of the fourth day, "they are immediately discarded to be sold cheap."
FISH BANK IS INTERESTING
Discovered Four Hundred Years Ago by Cabot, St. John's Is Base of World Industry.
St. John's is a place seeming with interest. It is over 400 years old, having been discovered by Cabot in 1497 and settled by Devon fisherfolk a few years later, since when it has been always the base for the world's greatest fishing industry, that for "cod on the bank," says P. T. McGrath, in Four-Track News. In its harbor will be found argosies from France, Spain, Portugal, New England and Nova Scotia, all engaged in reaping the harvest from the ocean, while the British industry was permanently transferred there as the colony, the oldest in the empire, became settled. Along the water front, on each side of the spacious land-locked harbor, which opens through a gap in the beating cliffs, are stores and warehouses filled with cod, while at every wharf steamers and sailors are loading this staple commodity for transport to the markets of the world.
Graze of the "Improver."
GRACE OF THE IMPROVED
One of the employees of a small manufacturing concern in Gotham, says the New York Sun, has a craze for taking apart new bits of machinery and seeing the "how" of their operation. As a rule, he assembles them again without much difficulty. The other day, however, he assisted in taking down a small electric motor. He overhauled it and laboriously put it together and then gravely announced that the blamed thing won't run." His employer and the rest of the force worked for the better part of the day in a vain attempt to get the motor to work, and then began to quiz the "improver," as he is known. "What did I do to it?" he replied. "I didn't do a blame thing to it but improve it. I got it all together again the first try, and saved these two pieces out of it."
His Weather Eve.
"Now," said the employer, "you will have to keep your weather eye on our competitors."
"I'm afraid I can't," answered the new man. "My weather eye has been poked out by an umbrella rib."—Judge.

An Indian’s Opinion.
Some Indians from the southwest

devoted to that purpose. They listened
gravely to the man with the meg-

places of interest. At the end ef the
journey one of the travelers summed
it all up thus: “Heap ride, heap talk,
heap smell”—the last referring to the
whiff of gasoline which occasionally
reached him.

Joke on the Inquisitor.
During the South African war the
censorship of saldiers’ letters home
was very strict. One soldier, who al-
‘ways sent an account of the doings of
the regiment, which account was al-
ways blotted eut by the censor, laid
@ plan for revenge. At the foot of
his next letter he wrote: “Look under
the stamp.” The censor did so, after
spending considerable time in steam-
ing the stamp from the envelope. And
he found these words: “Was it hard

In most of the dog hospitals in New
York there is a rule against admitting
women to the wards. No small part of
the scienee of doctoring dogs Hes in
keeping them cheerful away from home.
‘The sight of a woman seems to make
them think of home and the fireside;
they get excited when a skirt blows in
sight, and correspondingly depressed
‘when it disappears. So no dog doctor
who understands dog psychology lets
his patients see a woman if he can
help it.

the productive uses of coal, though it
seems to have more of it than ex-
ists in any other country.

Success in Music.
Caruso, the celebrated Italian opers
tenor, is the son of an engineer in
Naples. His father, on finding thal
the lad preferred music to mechanics
turned him out of doors, remarking:
“Follow your fancy, and when i
brings you to grief do not count ot
me.” When he entered upon his tern!
of military service an officer with
musical taste took him in hand and he
was allowed to practice in peace. At
that time he could barely read and
write. Now he is the most famous
tenor of the day, never singing for
less than $500 a performance.
The Truthful Guide,
It ts told of a lady that while tour
tng in the Scottish highlands one
summer she was taken to a cave in
which Macbeth was said to have beer
dorm. She examined the cave atten
tively, and listened to the eloquent
speech of her guide. At the end she
said to the man: “Comm, now, tell
me truly, is this really thé place where
Macbeth was born?”
‘The guide smiled awkwardly. He
shifted about a little. “Well,” he said,
“it's one of the places.”—Glasgow
Herald.
Quite “Slancy.”
In 8 recent article on politcal condi-

quotes the expression: “By the skin of
his teeth,” and parenthetically apolo-
gizes for using what he calls “such a
vulgar expression.” Humorous writers
are enjoying a laugh at Mr. McCarthy's
expense, calling his attention to the
nineteenth chapter of Job, twentieth
verse, where he may find the words: “I
‘ami escaped with the skin of my teeth.”

In Evanston, Ill., the other evening
the parents of a bright little girl had

‘high—water is always used for toasting
purposes in Evanston—@nd said:
“Here's to the auto. May we hear its

Built Nest on a Drawbar.
‘Wabash car inspectors of Peru, Ind.
