Grand Military Ball, Concert and Dress Parade by the Eighth Regiment Illinois Na tional Guards At the Seventh Regiment Armory-Presentations of Medals of Honor-A New Ambulance for the Eighth-In Every Respect It Was a Creditable Affair. Monday evening the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards gave its annual dress parade, grand concert and military ball at the 7th Regiment Armory, 16th and Dearborn street, and it was attended by more than two thousand people, and from the beginning to the end it was a very interesting affair. As it is well known in the past that the Eighth Regiment did not own an ambulance, and through the hard work and kindness of Rufus Estes a very fine ambulance was presented to it on the evening referred to, and Edward H. Wright had the honor of presenting it to the famous Eighth, and it will be drawn through the streets of Chicago with two large black mules on Decoration Day, Wednesday, May 30th. Major Franklin A. Denison presented the medals of long and honorable service, which were as follows: Eight years continuous service, field staff, non commissioned staff and band—Major Allen A. Wesley, Caped Edward S. Miller, Sergeant Major Loater J. Henderson, Color Sergeant Clarence Thompson, Battalion Trumpeter William H. Turner. Eight years continuous service Company A—First Lieutenant Walter Lipscomb, Second Lieutenant Walter J. Newman, Sergeant Lawrence Brewington, Lance Sergeant Samuel Chase Private Thomas Anderson. Company B—Sergeant Joseph Norris, Private Timothy Davis, Private Albert Payne. Company D—Second Lieutenant Floyd Lewis. Five years continuous service, not commissioned staff—Hospital Steward John W. Hall, Battalion Q. M. Sergeant Henry A. Graham, Commissary Sergeant Augustus C. Corbin. Company A—Musician Charles Walker. Company B—First Sergeant John J. Ingram, Corporal Harry J. Owens, Private Chas. J. Bailey. Company C—Sergeant Orin C. Thomas, Musician James Mack, Private Arthur Lennox, Private George Pope. Company D—Corporal Fred Blake, Musician Robert A. Ward, Private Gilmore Lindsay, Private C. D. Payne, Private Samuel Wright. Company E—Musician Edward J. Penn, Musician Eugene Bowles, Corporal Walter B. Mitchell, Private William A. Lawrence. Under the management of the following military men who composed the committee on arrangements: Colonel John R. Marshall, Major R. R. Jackson, Chairman. Capt. Robert F Ratcliffe, Lieut. Samuel McGowan, Lieut. C. L. Hill, Lieut. Walter Lipscomb, Lieut. Eugene Washington. Sergt. Maj. L. J. Henderson, Sergt. Charles A. Kinner, Sergt. Jas. F. Brewer, Sergt. Wm. Warfield, Sergt. P. D. Arnett, Sergt. David, Richardson. Sergt. Louis Wilson, Sergt. Wm. E. Berry, Sergt. Walter Pointe, Corporal E. H. Faulkner. Everything in connection with the orderly affair worked as smooth as a well oiled clock, and shortly after 10 o'clock both wings of the grand march was formed, which were led by Colonel and Mrs. John R. Marshall and Lieut. Col. and Mrs. James H. Johnson, who were followed by more than a thousand neatly and well dressed ladies and gentlemen who on the whole made a very fine appearance. Among the prominent citizens and leaders of the four hundred participating in the various dances throughout the evening and occupying seats in the boxes were: Mr. and Mrs. Adolph C. Harris, Col. and Mrs. B. F. Moseley, Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Wright, Dr. and Mrs. George C. Hall; Col. and Mrs. Edward H. Morris, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. White, Col. B. F. Johnson and Miss Buster, Mr. Noah D. Thompson and Mrs. Charles Jackson, Capt. and Mrs. Jamse S. Nelson, and their guest Miss Woods, Major and Mrs. R. R. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop, Col. and Mrs. James H. Johnson, and their box party, consisting of Miss S. Harris, Miss Roberts, Mrs. L. Knight and Mrs. C. Howard; Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Lange and daughters, Evanston, Ill., Mies Hattie Price and Miss Earl, Mr. J. H. Zedricks and Mrs. Mamie Granberry, Capt. and Mrs. Edward S. Miller, Major and Mrs. Theodore R. Van Pelt, Capt. and Mrs. Robert F. Ratcliffe, Mrs. John R. Marshall and Miss Essie Arnold, Capt. and Mrs. John W. Shreeves, Lieut. and Mrs. Eugene Howard, Capt. and Mrs. W. T. Jefferson, Lieut. and Mrs. Harold Ransom, Dr. Bert, Alfred Anderson and Miss Stokes, Lieut. S. McGowan and Miss Belle Loving, who, in our opinion, was the best and most richly gowned lady at the ball, Mrs. Mae Blake, Mrs. R. H. Harper, Mrs. Dan Bryant, Mrs. J. S. Seames, Assistant States Attorney F. L. Barnett, Prof. N. Clark Smith, Editors J. Hockley Smiley and C. H. Dyess, Dr. York, Jesse C. Binga, Arthur A. Wells, "Phil" Miller and John Fry. In no sense if the word was it a full dress affair, for very few evening gowns were in evidence, and it was more like an old fashioned Democratic ball but the vast majority of the ladies looked so lovely or bewitching in their white dresses, pink or white and other shades of shirt waists and silk skirts of many colors, and the only thing to detract from their loveliness was that many of them would persist in craming their pretty mouthes full of chewing gum and to the utter disgust of those who have within the past ten years blown into this town from the country and know nothing of the rules of what is called high-toned society, they kept chewing on their cuds of gum to beat the band. CHICAGO, MAY v6.1906 Who successfully commanded the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guards, during its military campaign in Cuba, who is ever ready to labor to make it the greatest organization of its kind in the world. The music rendered by the Eighth Regiment Band under the leadership of that great master of music, Prof. Berry, was simply enchanting, and the best church members and the most devout Christians could not resist from kicking up their heels while endeavoring to dance the new two or three step and the many other dances, the music of which was so delightfully rendered, which seemingly caused them to feel that they were right on the border land of heaven. No intoxicating liquors were sold in the building, and that was a very commendable act on the part of Col. Marshall, and the other members of his staff, and the result was that the best of order was maintained, and it was the finest and the most creditable function so far given by the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards. THE BANQUET AND RECEPTION GIVEN BY THE ST. JOHN LITER ARY SOCIETY WAS AN ENJOY ABLE FAIR. Tuesday evening the members of the St. John Literary Society, which holdforth in St. John's A. M. E. church, 63d and Throop streets, tendered its friends and well-wishers a most delightful banquet and reception, which was an enjoyable affair in every way. It was rather late before the affair got under full headway, but such a fine and interesting program was rendered and the eating was so good that the two combined more than made up for the unreadiness at the beginning in the shank of the evening. Col. B. F. Moseley was master of ceremonies, and in introducing the various speakers and the others who took part in the program he flooded the church with sparkling wit, humor and eloquence. The program was, first, music; second, invocation, Rev. D. H. Harris, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church; third piano solo, Prof. W. Alphonso Johnston, who is one of the most expert musical instructors in this country, and whose skillful and artistic performance on the piano brought forth hearty applause; fourth, duet, Dr. Marshall and L. R. Monroe; fifth, "The Importance of Organized Effort Among Our Women," Mrs. L. A. Davis, President of the Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club, who would make a live candidate for President of the National Association of Colored Woman, Mrs. Davis' instructive remarks, which were so eloquently expressed, were enthusiastically received and drank in by the audience; sixth, solo, Mr. Henry Davis; seventh, "The Press and the People," Julius F. Taylor; eighth, select reading, Miss Nellie A. Stone, who is an accomplished elocutionist of rare ability, and who will entertain you at your home at a reasonable compensation. Nine, "Our Literary Societies and Forums," S. Laing Williams, President of the Men's Sunday Forum Institutional church, D. A. Bethea, President St. Mark's Literary Society. The remarks of both speakers were timely and full of encouragement for the young men and women who belong to St. John's Literary, and they urged them to familiarize themselves with the literayar productions of the Afro-American authors, and to take an active part in everything which would redoub to the benefit of the good of the people at large which would enable them to become useful men and women in the communities in which they reside; tenth, plano solo, Miss Jennie Slater. Eleven, Mrs. Fannie B. Williams very briefly and graciously thanked the members of the St. John Literary Society for honoring her with an invitation to be present on such a pleasant occasion, and that she would reserve the many good things she had in store for it to some future date. Rev. D. H. Harris followed Mrs. Williams with a few pleasantries, and Rev. J. S. Woods, pastor of St. John, who is planning to build a new church this year, wound up the speaking by heartily thanking the distinguished ladies and gentlemen for being present and participating in the highly instructive exercises, which was a history-making epoch for the St. John Literary Society. Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks has started his Presidential boon, while swinging around the circle in the South in his speech at Atlanta Ga., last Saturday evening. He loudly praised the bravery of the Confederate soldiers, and contended that "the surviving members of the lost cause are honorable and patriotic citizens, and that the graves of those who fell fighting to maintain slavery should be cared for as well as those who fought to preserve the union," which is all bosh, and which simply shows that Vice-President Fairbanks is fishing for delegates to the Republican Convention in 1908. Mr. and Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins, 3632 Calumet avenue, gave a card and dancing party last Thursday evening in honor of Miss Bernice Paul of Buffalo, N. Y. The Progress of the Afro-American in the West and Northwest As Viewed by the Keen Eye of Mrs. W. A. Buckner—Interesting Observations Noted by Her on Her Journey to the Land of Sunshine and Flowers. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir—On leaving Chicago the 16th of July, 1905, on an extended trip through the northwest in search of health and rest, I thought I would write of what I saw and learned of the Colored people of the far west and their progress. The first city I visited was St. Paul, Minn. It has a population of 170,554; Colored 2,450. I arrived there on the 17th o. July, and was the guest of Mrs. Bettie Patterson, formerly of Chicago, and Mrs. O. D. Howard, wife of Dr. O. D. Howard, the only Colored osteopathist in St. Paul. Dr. Howard has a very lucrative practice, and his practice, I am proud to say, is not confined to members of his own race, but are of the wealthiest and best people of both races. They own the beautiful residence where they live, also other property. Mr. Geo. B. Lane, another of St. Paul's thriving citizens, owns several houses, and has a business worth several thousand dollars in the business district of the city manufacturing picture frames. Mr. Lane comes or sends his son, who is in the business with him, to Chicago for all of their supplies. Mr. Jas. Strong is in the loan business, and owns considerable property. Lack of space will not allow me to mention others. Among those that own their homes are J. Q. Adams, O. D. Charlston and several others. Mr. F. L. McGhee, St. Paul's most prominent Colored lawyer, owns the magnificent residence where he lives and other property. He has a fine practice St. Paul has one Colored physician, Dr. Valdo Turner. He has a very lucrative practice, and seems to be a favorite. There are four churches, Baptist, Methodist, Catholic and Episcopal. Father Lealted, formerly of Chicago, is now the present rector. I find in St. Paul a union among the churches seldom found in larger cities. The picnic given on the 18th of last July at Lake Minnetonka was a demonstration of what they could do. I had the pleasure of attending, and me many old Chicago friends. There is one Colored paper, The Appeal, published and edited by J. Q. Adams. It has a good circulation. My next stop was Minneapolis. It has a population of 228,340; Colored, 3,254. In my short stay I found the Colored people dolg well, and seem to be encouraged as to their future. There are three churches, two A. M. E. and Baptist. All are doing well. On the 26th of July I left Minneapolis for the far west. Some of the interesting points are the Indian reservations where I saw several old warriors dealing out their goods to the tourist. The Colored men were very conspicuous all along, and were employed. I next visited Yellowstone Park, a very picturesque place that one could not soon forget. The next city I visited was the greatest mining city in the west, Butte, Mont., as the guest of Mrs. M. A. Nelson. The blood-curdling stories told of this smoky and wild city city somewhat alarmed me, and I did not tarry long. Butte has a population of 47,635; Colored, 635. Just before reaching Butte City I No.31 of the Afro-Amer- e West and nwest the Keen Eye of Buckner—Inter- vations Noted by Journey to the shine and Flow- crossed the Great Rocky Mountains. It is a novel sight, and worth while any one seeing and crossing them to my surprise I saw a Colored man, he said he was employed by the railroad company and lived on the highest point with his family on these mountains which shows we are high minded and are trying to reach the highest point in life some of us. The Colored man is doing nicely in Butte and as money is plentiful he will get his. I was told their chances are good and could get employment in good positions when qualified. Mining is good; quite a number have been successful and are still trying. On the 3rd of August I left Butte. I then crossed the Bitter Root Mountains. Then came to the old Indian reservations, known as Flat Head, Big Timber, Big Horn, Still Water and Three Forks. Indmans are quite numerous and very interesting in their quail dress. My next stop was Spokane Falls. A very pretty city; population 57,572, Colored 995. The Colored people of Spokane while few in number are a high class. Several are in business and are progressing. I learn from the press that one of Calicogos young physicians in the person of Dr. Bert Anderson, has chosen one of Spokane's accomplished young ladies to be his future better two-thirds. I had the pleasure of meeting her. Our best wishes to the Dr. I found most all of the Colored people owning their homes. Like Butte, money is plentiful and they seem to take advantage of it. I left Spokane on the 8th of August. I then crossed the Cascade Mountains, going through what is called the longest tunnel in the United States, being 2½ miles in length, so I was told. My next stop was the city of Tacoma; it has a population of 55,515, Colored estimated at 1,322. In my short stay in Tacoma I met several members of the race. All seemed to be much encouraged and say for the Colored man to come west. In Tacoma there are two churches. Baptist and A. M. E. Rev. S. S. Freeman is pastor of the A. M. E. There is a Colored newspaper, known as the Searchlight, if I mistake not it is edited by Rev. Freeman. He is a Race man and has made wonderful progress. He is advocating the cause of the Negro at all times and has succeeded in getting recognition for members of his race in several instances, both in Tacoma and Seattle, where we recently held a charge. His estimable wife is quite a help to him in his every day work. My next stop was at Seattle. It has a population of 110,000, Colored 2,400. There is a good class of Colored citizens there; quite a number are in business for themselves. The Colored women are doing well; several are in business. Among them are one of my old Chicago friends, Madam J. A. Combs, formerly Miss Ethel Smith. She has a fine business, hair dressing and massage parls. Mr. I. F. Norris, one of our old friends has a business of expressing and storage worth several thousand (Continued on Page 2.) --- Sse j — 3 ‘PUBLISHED WEEKI YT. oe ntsc ain See fate =e ae Says Last cormmnntions wil rosa etention. wwiitoniy oo ce aso te paper” __Sahecrptions mest be paid tn arenes. a dere rte nade nora on epiiation.

He was taken before Justice Arnold in Wilmette, where his hearing was continued to next Friday. He was then taken to the Evanston jail. ‘The above mild statement of the hor- rible crime which Hamilton is charg ‘with committing appeared in Tuesday morning's Record-Herald, but if he had been a Colored man charged witn committing the same crime all the daily papers would have contained blood and thunder headlines, and ‘would have been in favor of mobbing and lynching him.

In that statement he quoted what Senator Chandler had said that the president had said about Knox, Spooner and Foraker. SENATOR KNOX REMAINS COOL. Senator Knox, one of the trio named by ex- gj Senator Chandler as having been criticised by gry] the president, refused to get excited over the \ Teport as he said that the president knew him too well and knew his desire to enact consti- \ tutional legislation too well ever to have charged him even in private with having purpose to v defeat the bill. Mr. Knox is one of the well-tried ¢ friends of President Roosevelt who can talk «! to the latter like a “Dutch uncle,” and the pres- ident takes his lecture in good ‘part. It is re- membered that a year or two ago a fulsome magazine article was published by a wall- known writer in which the present Secretary Root was lauded to the skies and President Roosevelt quoted as saying that Mr. Root could fill any position in the cabinet and would make a better secretary of state than Mr. Hay or & better attorney general than Mr. Knox. _ ‘This article caused some comment and the eee a § Senator Chandler as ny) the’ president, refase XN) report as he said th too well and knew \ tutional legislation to him even in private 9 defeat the bill.

The president got worried over the article, and as Mr. Knox did not go to the White House for several days the president sent for him, and in an embarrassed sort of way denied that there had been any war rant for the quotation attributed to him in the magazine article. “Oh, Mr. President,” said Mr. Knox, “I never gave that matter a second thought, be- cause I knew that you were not fool enough to make such a remark.” The president, who is apt to be carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment, and who doubtless had spoken in most laudatory terms of Mr. Root, saw the point of his attorney general's remark at once. THE “GOLD-DUST TWINS.” Two new members in the senate are getting a large share of credit for securing 8 sane and constitutional measure through that body. These are Senators Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Crane, of Massachusetts. Mr. Knox has taken high place tm the senate during his first term because of the reputation he had when he entered that body. His advice has been sought and his opinion re- spected far beyond that which is accorded to new members. He has-made but one set speech, but his interruptions have been frequent and always on some vital point in the rate bill. Mr. Crane entered the same time that Mr. Knox did and brought with him the reputation of being a superb organizer. When it seemed imperative that an amend ment should be made to the rate bill to make it constitutional in the judgment of the majority of lawyers in the senate, Mr. Knox was given the task of convincing bis colleagues that the amend- Set ae a re a large share of cre constitutional measur are Senators Knor, < of Massachusetts.

They are both small men physically, and as they were seen together so much they were dubbed by some of their col leagues the “Gold Dust Twins of the Senate.” Senator Knox's prominence in his first term and the high position that has been accorded him, has brought unusual honor to his state of Pennsyl- vania so that there is strong talk of making him governor of that state. He will not listen to such a suggestion, as he does not care for a busy political life, but many of his friends are urging him to accept a nomination, believing that he would give such an ideal administration as governor as to force him to the forefront as a presidential candidate in 1908. Secretary Shaw, of the treasury department, who is himself a candidate for the presidency, stated the other day that if Pennsylvania elected an exceptionally able man for governor this year that mam would be a formidable dark horse in the presi- dential race.

WOMEN WHO LIKE TO STAND Street Car Conductor Says They Do ‘It to Keep Their Clothes ‘Unwrinkled. By the time the car reached For tleth street there were no fewer than & dozen vacant seats, but the girl in the new tailor-made gown refused to avail herself of their hospitality, re- lates the New York Press. The mes- genger boy pointed them out to her. So did the woman in blue and the man with the red-beard, but to. all invite. tions to make herself comfortable the taflored girl said: “No, I thank you. I get off soon,” and continued to lurch backward and forward in the middle of the car ‘The conductor watched her grimly. “I could have told those folks it was Ro use to try to make that girl sit down,” he said to passenger on the platform. “She never does. I used to try to get her to rest herself for a minute or two, just for a change, but I never could do it. She has been rid- img in my_car pretty regularly for about a year, and no matter whether the passengers are many or few sel- dom have I seen her sit down. I used t6 wonder why she chose to stand up and flop around that way, but I have come to the conclusion that she does it because her clothes fit so well. “I have seen lots of other people with the same trick.

Bemains of a Man Who Is Thought ‘to Have Lived at Least 5,000 B. C. ‘The oldest body of any human being ‘Row reposes in the Egyptian gallery of the British museum, says the Ameri- ean Antiquarian. It is the body of a man who was buried in a shallow grave hollowed out of the sandstone on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt. This man must have hunted along the banks of the Nile before the time of the earliest mummied king which the museum possesses—before the time of Menes, who was supposed ‘to have ruled Egypt at least 5,000 B. C. There were previous to that time two prehistoric races, one the con- querors, and the other the conquered, from which sprang the Egyptian race of the earliest dynasties. It ts with these remote stocks that this mam has ‘to do. Considering the condition tn which he was found, it is evident that he was associated with the late period of the mew stone age of Egypt. He was buried in a characteristic neolithic grave, with bis neolithic pots and in- struments of flint about him. There $s, of course, no inscription.of any kind om the pots, knives or grave, all having been made long before the in- vention of any written language. SKILL IN TYPEWRITING. Speed That Exceeds That of Many of the Most Expert Stenog- raphers. ‘The astonishing dexterity which the modern virtuos! of the typewriter pos- ‘sess was shown in the Chicago con- test In which the winner wrote 4,627 words in 30 minutes, an average speed of 154 words a minute, says the Spring- field Republican. This is a brisk pace even for shorthand work, and many professional —stenographers —_have worked years without attaining a 150- word speed. But the character of the test miakes a great difference, for it fs ‘one thing to rattle off a repeated sen- tence on a memorized passage and quite another to deal with new mat- ter, especially if the vocabulary is not very simple. ‘There are many kinds of type writ- ing where the fastest expert would bave to feel bis way along at a paltry 40 words a minute or so. It must be re membered, too, that the second half- hour must be slower than the first, and the second hour slower still. Rac- Ing speeds must not be taken as a basis for steady work. Moreover, th+ matter of accuracy is even more important than that of speed. There should have been a spe- cial medal for the young woman who, though she finished but fourth, made only 52 errors in 4,085 words. Waluable Glass, ‘When is glass worth more ,than gold?

FRENCH INDUSTRIAL ARTS. ‘The Application of Higher Training te Trade Is Everywhere + - ™ gyearent. . | Consul Goldschmidt, of Nantes, con- tributes an extended article on indus- trial art education in France and its influence upon French industries.

While leaving to each school the development of the line of art suffed to local needs, the state gives direction by annual visits of inspectors of drawing.

An iceberg that resembled a huge cathedral dazzled the passengers of the Scandinavian-Amegican steamship Hellig Olav when that vessel was pass- ing the Bank of Newfoundland re- cently, reports the New York Ameri- can. ‘The Hellig Olay at the time was cut- ting her way through a ealm sea un- der a cloudless sky. The sun shining on the domes, spires and pinnacles of the iceberg rendered it a marvelous spectacle. It appeared’ off the star- board bow, not more than a mile away. It was fully 200 feet long, but the main body of the great mass of crystal was not more than 50 feet high Above this rose what resembled dome of ice, what might be termed the roof of the berg. There were scores of spires and needle-like points pointing upward. So greatly did the form of the berg resemble a cathedral that one passen- ger remarked that he almost expected to hear the chimes sound. ‘The berg reflecting the rays of the setting sun in a thousand glittering points remained in sight until night- ‘fall, fading astern to a small dot thet was brought into relief through marine glasses.

Consul Harris, of Chemnitz, devel- ops another of the great practical methods Germany is using to give her future helmsmen the most thorough educational training. He writes: “A number of young assessors, who have practically completed their law studies, have-been delegated to spend from six months to a year in some of the large business and manufacturing establishments in Chemnitz, Leipzig and Plauen. The manufacturers are satisfled at the step and gladly wel- come the young men, for the reason that they are interested directly and indirectly in improving the state ser- vice, so that affairs pertaining to trade and industries will receive more ap- preciative attention in the future. My informant has one of these young men im bis office now. His duties are to learn the routine of trade work. The methods of manufacture will be taken up later on, and thereafter the man- ner in which goods are exported to foreign countries.” Sidewalks of France.

Globe. Tabooed by Moslema. The ulemas of the University of Al Azhar have decided as to the phonograph and insurance that there is nothing in Islamic doctrine to forbid Moeslems to listen to the phonograph, and that, if the verses of the koran are suitably intoned from the phonograph the listener may be justly considered to be performing an act of worship. Fire and life insurance are, however, condemned by the shelk as a gambling transaction contrary in spirit to the teaching of the koran. "Oooo!" Says the Iceman. The largest mass of ice in the world is probably the one which fills up nearly the whole of the interior of Greenland, where it has accumulated since before the dawn of history. It is believed now to form a block about 600,000 square miles in area, and averaging a mile and a half in thickness. According to these statistics the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean.

The growth of the church has been very rapid, 1,600 baptisms, two-thirds of them those of adults, having been recorded in a single year. Lace Makers' Complaint A singular complaint is made by 230 people employed in a lace factory at Long, Eaton, near Nottingham, England. Opposite the factory are a number of trees in a cemetery. The workmen say that whenever there is the slightest breeze the movement of the branches causes a blinking light, which seriously injures their eyes, the lace work demanding the closest attention. Use of Sugar in Arabia In Arabia the higher classes use sugar in tea and coffee in their houses, but in the coffee shops in the bazar, where hundreds of people gather in the evening to talk and drink coffee, a cheaper grade of coffee is generally consumed, made of coffee husks principally, and in this drink sugar is seldom used. Roast Reptile In Australia several kinds of snake$ are eaten roasted. They are said to be equal in delicacy and flavor to the finest stewed eels. An English traveler declares the steam from the roasting reptiles is by no means unsavory. Atlantic Fisheries The New England fisheries are the most important branch of the American fishing industry, the aggregate value of their annual catch being about $10,000,000, or one-fourth of the value of the total catch or the United States. African Delicacy The aborigines of South America and Africa consider the guana, a large lizard, a great delicacy. These lizards are not unlike a small crocodile, but are more unsightly than that creature. Swallowed by the Sea. Since the sixteenth century 12 churches, a convent, a hospital and many hundreds of acres of land have been swallowed by the sea in the vicinity of Aldeburgh, England. An Old Story. "Did you ever experience a change of heart?" asked the kind old lady. "Well, I should say!" laughed the girl. "I've been engaged four times." -Detroit Free Press.

A West Philadelphia family was at supper, one night, talking about the engagement of one of the daughters, whose wedding was soon to be. The negro servant, who acted as waitress, laundress, etc., had just brought into the dining room the dessert, when one of the girls asked: "Virginia, have you seen Edith's flance?" "Laws! I doan know, honey," she replied; "hitn't been in de was yit." Lucid as Mud. A woman canvasser in a recent British election campaign asked a laborer whether he was in favor of protection, and he replied by inquiring what it was. The question embarrassed the woman somewhat. She replied: "I cannot go into precise details at the moment, but it is a subject of vital importance to all who care for wild birds." An Odd Ad. The following advertisement comes from the London Times: "Man, K. C., M. P., well known professionally and called a good companion, over 61, destroys to be received as sociable guest. He wishes to be accepted genially by those who would not receive him entirely for gain, and as possibly a small contributor to expenses." Not an Easy Driver. An Atchison man. The Globe says, was showing a fine horse that attracted the attention of a man who was looking for a family horse. "Can a woman drive him?" inquired the would-be purchaser. "Yes, a woman might drive him," replied the owne, "but I would hate to live with the woman that can drive him." Lime Prevents Rust. Unslaked lime is useful in preventing rust because of its extraordinary capacity for absorbing moisture. Some careful workmen who take pains that their tools shall always be in the best condition, make a practice of keeping a piece of lime in their tool boxes to absorb any moisture which might otherwise cause rust. Horrible Recollections. Doctor—I am certain I could cure Smith of his indigestion if he would only live on bread and water for a while. But he positively refuses. Friend—You know why, don't you? "No." "He was arrested for fast driving once, and spent two weeks in jail."—Detroit Free Press. Sarasate's Treasure. Senor Sarasate's most precious possession is a Stradivari violin.

"Oh, yes; the ycung man submitted to the operation without a murmur."—Chicago Tribune. Bible from the Kaiser Kaiser William has presented- a Bible in a silver-mounted cabinet to the New German Lutheran church in New York city, with the inscription: "Wilhelm, I. R., Heb. 11:1.

Engine Hint The gasoline engine, like the steam engine, in fact, like all engines, is all the better for being run light for a few minutes before it is called upon to exert its full power, says the Automobile Magazine. No Checks in Erse. The Bank of Ireland declines to honor checks written in Erse. The Gaels are indignant. If, they say, the bank accepts checks in Japanese and Russian, why should it reject those in Erse? Bailway in Mocha Land A railway is to be built to the region where the Mocha coffee grows. It will extend from Hodeidah, on the Red sea, to Sannaa, the largest city in southern Arabia, with a population of 75,000. William. Bill and Will.

"Yes, his specialty now is burning designs on shirts."—Chicago Daily News. Buns Losing Favor. Only -5,000,000 "hot-cross buns" were consumed in London on Good Friday, indicating the dying out of the custom. The cross-bun is the modern equivalent of the cakes eaten, in honor of the Saxon goddess Eostre, from whose name the word Easter comes. Her worshipers became Christians, but, unwilling to give_up the buns, compromised by making them with a cross. Salmén in British Columbia All of the hatcheries of British Columbia have secured a full supply of salmon spawn and by the erection of fish ladders a very large district has been opened that had been cut off from the salmon for a number of years. The number of young salmon that will go to the ocean this year will be far greater than in any previous year, and an exceedingly large run may be expected in 1907. The Way It Looked "And what are you going to be when you grow up, my little man?" asked the caller. The unfortunate child shook his golden curls savagely and gazed in anger at his lace cuffs. "I want to be a man," he said, "out I think mamma's bringin' me up to be a lady."—Cleveland Leader. Rafputana Reservoir.

The Polish girl is said, as a rule, to have good taste, to know how to blend colors artistically, and make a graceful appearance. Lightning Flashes Recent efforts to measure the duration of flashes of lightning seem to show that it is often as brief as one forty-thousandth part of a second. A flash lasting the fiftieth part of a second is considered about the extreme duration. Benign Earthquake A New England newspaper of 1727 announced that "a considerable town in this province has been so awakened by the awful providence in the earthquake that the women have generally laid aside their hoop petticoats." Value of Elephants An African elephant is of value only for its ivory, of which a full-grown animal yields from $250 to $300 worth.
