The Broad Ax

BROAD AX President Woodrow Wilson Will Not Attend the Fifty Years of Freedom and the Lincoln Grand Jubilee Celebration Which Opens Up at the Coliseum Sunday Afternoon, August 22nd THE HON. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN CALLED AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON HIS VISIT TO WASHINGTON LAST WEEK FROM WHICH POINT HE SENT A SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS STATING THAT PRESIDENT WILSON WOULD POSITIVELY ATTEND THE LINCOLN JUBILEE CELEBRATION IN CHICAGO. THE DAY FOLLOWING PRESIDENT WILSON SENT A DISPATCH TO MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON SCATING THAT HE WOULD NOT HONOR THIS CITY WITH HIS PRESENCE ON THAT OCCASION; THAT HE DID NOT WANT THE IMPRESSION TO GO ABROAD THAT HE WAS WILLING TO PERMIT SCHMERES AND PROMOTERS TO BAKE IN THE MONEY AND EXPLOIT THE PUBLIC ON HIS POPULARITY. THE GRAND JUBILEE CELEBRATION IS BILLED TO OPEN UP AT THE COLISEUM SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SOME CONTEND THAT FOUR OR PORTY CARLOADS OF EXHIBITS FROM PORTY-TWO STATES, LEIBRIA AND THE WEST INDIES, WILL BE IN EVIDENCE FOR THE INSPECTION OF THE FIVE OR EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPECTED TO VISIT THE EXPOSITION. MONDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 23, THE CITY HALL AND THE COUNTY BUILDING WILL BE CLOSED UP TIGHT AND ALL OF THE CITY AND COUNTY EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE A HALF HOLIDAY IN HONOR OF THE COLORED FOLKS RESIDING IN THIS COMMUNITY. For the past two years the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann and his side pal or friend the sainted Bishop Samuel Fallows, who feels that as a White gentlemen he has been called from on high to boss an exposition or the fifty years of freedom celebration for Colored folks, have been proclaiming it aloud that President Woodrow Wilson would be the leading patron, that the President and many of his head Southern Democratic chiefs and other distinguished gentlemen who entertain no special love for the Colored folks if they attempt to aspire to anything outside or being bootblacks, hotel waiters, coachman and so on, would be on hand to unlock the doors and give their show a great big send off, that when he would strike the Coliseum arm in arm with the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann who boastingly claims that he discovered the President down in the swamps of New Jersey and made him what he is from a political standpoint, that more than a million people would be on hand to great them. As stated above that was the kind of dope or noise that Bishop Fallows and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann have been engaged in dealing or handing out for the past two years and a whole lot of White and Colored fools honestly felt and believed that they were telling the truth and that President Wilson would be here, and last week the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann made another trip to Washington, D.C., at the expense of all the taxpayers throughout this state, for be it remembered that the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann does not pay ten cents worth of any kind of taxes in Illinois, and while in Washington he called on President Wilson, at the White House and MRS. SHADRACK BAILEY TURNER AT ONE TIME THOUGHT THAT HER DISTINGUISHED HUSBAND THE HON. SHADRACK BAILEY TURNER WOULD LAND IN JAIL Mrs. Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner, who always looks as though she has not one true friend on the face of this broad earth, who claims to be the so- called editor and owner of the no or the false Idea, was at one time fearful that her distinguished husband the Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner would land in jail for it will be recalled that only a few years ago he was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury for being mixed up with forty or fifty thousand dollars worth of notes or bonds belong- ing to the Ford Roofing Company; that Brother Turner endeavored to sell them for forty thousand dollars in real money, that the money was supposed to be divided up between himself and one or two White gentlemen who were from there he sent a telegram to Bishop Fallows, that President Wilson would attend their fifty years of freedom celebration, that he knew his friend Woodrow, better than any man in Chicago, that he knew what he was talking about, and without delay Bishop Fallows handed that batch of false dope out to the daily newspapers in this city and strange to say without the least investigation as to its truthfulness they bit and fell for it, and here it where the huge joke comes in. The day after the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann's lieing telegram to Bishop Fallows, stating that President Wilson would positively attend the Lincoln Jubilee celebration in Chicago, the President sent a dispatch to Mayor William Hale Thompson, stating that he would not honor this city with his presence on that occasion, that he did not want the impression to go abroad that he was willing to permit promoters and schemers to rake in the money on his popularity, so President Wilson has settled it once and for all time to come in relation to coming to Chicago to attend the Lincoln Jubilee celebration. The grand fifty years of freedom celebration is billed to open up this coming Sunday afternoon and some contend that four or forty car loads of exhibits from forty two states, Liberia and the West Indies will be in evidence for the inspection of the five or eight hundred thousand who are expected to visit the grand exposition and on Monday, August 23, will be a half holiday and in the afternoon of that day the City Hall and the County Building will be closed up tight in honor of the Colored folks residing in this community. That after the Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner had stood trial and had been found guilty by a jury consisting of 12 upright citizens that one able White lawyer in this city, so they say, intimated to Judge K. M. Landis that the Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner for sometime had rested up in some crazy house, that like many of the Colored people he was ignorant and was not responsible for his acts and it is said that on the strength of that letter, that a now trial was granted unto the Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner, which easily enabled him to secure his freedom or liberty, that Mrs. Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner felt ever so happy when it fully dawned on her No Idea mind that her distinguished husband would not be forced to serve four or five years time behind the bars in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. CHICAGO, AUGUST 21, 1915 MEETING OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NEGRO AUTHORS. The National Association of Negro Authors convenes in this city Aug. 27th and 28th. The local committee that has the matter in hand reports to The Broad Ax the possibility of a record breaker in the massing of the races greatest intellectuals. The Authors and writers who will meet in our city represent the various walks of life. At the present period of our race growth, it is only natural that some will be teachers, ministers, doctors, etc., standing for all that is noble and good the proud accomplishment of a race long oppressed. The Broad Ax wishes them every success. Too long has many of the questions affecting our people been juggled by men and women but poorly prepared to defend us. Luckily the exhaustive program which covers a wide range of subjects will embody almost all if not all of the very abstruse problems affecting us, and will be scholarly handled by our own great writers and distinguished authors. The citizens of Chicago can be depended upon to give them a rousing welcome and extend to them a hospitality excelled only by their noble natures. Indeed, we have made great progress along all lines, the man of the intellect with pen mightier than the sword is doubtless one of our proudest achievements. Let us mention a few names of those distinguished men and women whose mortal remains lie beneath the sod but whose lives are the proud heritage of a proud people: Price, Langston, Dunbar, Whitman, Douglass, Payne, Turner, McCune Smith, Delaney and a host of minor beacon lights along the great intellectual spheres of Negro activity. The men and women of today who are sounding the tocsin are following in the footsteps of those great souls who years ago blazed the forests: Wm. Still, Henry Hyland Garnett, Cass. L. Beason, Bishop Campbell, C. C. Petty, R. C. O. Benjamin and dozens of others whose patent pens help to give us place and prominence in the realm of eloquent thought. Today a new era is upon us. These brave men who fought and died for the principles they thought were right can not be measured in the scales of petty selfishness. What they hope for and fought for, we are today the proud recipients. We believe we cannot live better, than by seeking to become better, and while some have mapped out for us roads that are divergent, it can never be amiss that holding a torch of intellectual light the ambitious and aspiring manhood be led astray. Remember The Great Authors meeting, Aug. 27th and 28th. BAD LEADERS OF THE AFRO- AMERICAN RACE We have never taken any stock in Giles B. Jackson or anything he has had in hand or control of. Just such blatherskites, who run in where angels fear to tread are our mildewed chaps that spoil and make offensive our moral linen. So long as men will endorse such fellows, just so long will we lack for a ruling standard of the highest recognition of the powers of this nation. The folly of being afraid of hurting low Negroes' feelings is nothing less than servility in Negro blood.

The newly selected Judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, who has always occupied a warm spot in the hearts of the majority of the people throughout the great State of Illinois, as he came up from the ranks of the Common people and is proud of that fact and is still one of them, and it goes without saying, that President Wilson deserves to be highly commended and congratulated for permitting the judicial mantle of one of the highest courts in the land to gracefully fall on the shoulders of the Hon. Samuel Alschuler, who possesses the legal attainments to fill that exalted position in an eminent degree. D. D. D., and Mrs. Hon. Shadrack Bailey Turner would stand up and lead us in prayer!—Editor.

The Book Consists of Almost Five Hundred Pages Elegantly Bound In Green Cloth and Ornamented With Gold Letters. The latter part of last week, Captain Francis O'Neill, 5448 Drexel Blvd., who was superintendent of the Chicago Police under the administration of Mayor Edward F. Dunne and who has been one of our steadfast friends for a number of years, forwarded to the writer a copy of his new highly interesting book, entitled "Irish Minstrels and Musicians," with the following inscription written on the fly leaf, "To Julius F. Taylor, Esteemed Editor of The Brond Ax, compliments of the author, Captain Francis O'Neill." The book consists, of almost five hundred pages, and it is the most complete history of Irish Minstrels and Musicians so far produced. It contains numerous dissertations, on related subjects. Irish Folk music. "The Music of Ireland," "The dance music of Ireland," O'Neill's "Irish music for piano or violin." "Popular selections from the dance music of Ireland harmonized." It is profusely illustrated with minstrels and musicians of ancient and modern times, who have made Ireland famous the world over. It is printed on the best of Aberdeen book paper with large bold faced type, which makes it very easy to read. It is bound in very heavy rich green cloth binding, ornamented with large heavy gold letters and any true Irish- HON. SAMUEL ALSCHULER. Judge of the United States Circuit Court occupied a warm spot in the hearts of the city at the great State of Illinois, as he came on people and is proud of that fact and without saying, that President Wilson deed and congratulated for permitting the judicature in the land to gracefully fall on the scler, who possesses the legal attainments eminent degree. American, or an Irishman wherever he lives, should feel proud and fortunate to own a copy of it. For it is undoubtedly the most valuable publication and at the same time the most highly interesting one that has so far been evolved in that direction. The book is for sale by Lyon and Healy, of this city and by M. H. Gill & Son, Dublin, Ireland. It is "dedicated to the venerated memory of his parents, whose tuneful tastes and memorized melodies are cherished as the most precious heritage." Captain O'Neill, has done himself proud and covered himself over with everlasting glory in the production of his new book and we wish to heartily thank him for numbering us among his numerous friends who are entitled to receive a complimentary copy of it. THE MOEBING AND LYNCHING OF LEO M. FRANK The papers throughout the country are setting up a great hue and cry, over the mobbing and lynching of Leo M. Frank at Marietta, Ga., this week. For more than thirty years these same newspapers with a few honorable exceptions, have been silent and winked at the mobbing and lynching of Colored men women and children thousands of them being innocent of committing any crime whatever. But just as soon as a White gentlemen has been mobbed and lynched, a great crime has been committed, against humanity and civilization. It seems that after all, it all depends upon whose ox is gored. Mrs. John B. Marshall, 3630 Calumet Avenue and her niece, Miss Essie Arnold, will entertain some of their many friends, who will be visiting this city during the next month. Mrs. Marshall continues to improve in health and she is feeling quite herself again.

Popular prices, 10, 20 and 25 cents, will prevail and with Harrison Stewart as the star actor and the leading headliner. It is expected that the old Pekin will regain much of its lost prestige. H. C. Jenkins, who was for a long time connected with the Grand Theater and who is wide-awake and up-to-snuff, has assumed the duties of manager of the Pekin Theater and he is rapidly getting everything in apple pie order for the opening night.

MISS MAUDE ADAMS. You have seen her—seen her from "the front," as they say in stageland—and perhaps as a little lad in green hreeches, with a charming, wistful face, in his right hand Pandean pipes and whom the members of his band called Peter Pan, or, perchance, as a gypsy girl with mischief in her eyes and rowan berries in her hair, yclept Lady Babble, or, again, it may have been as one called Phoebe—Phoebe of the ringlets—whose home was in Quality street. Or was it as the patient Maggle Wylie trying—oh, so hard—to implant just one little spark or humor in the hopelessly humorless John Shand? Besides all these names and more which were thought out by a little man of Thryms and sent across the Atlantic to be made into very real people, she who created those characters so dear to playgoers has still another name. It's Maude Adams. Maude Adams and James Matthew Barrie—they are a unique and joyous combination. It scarcely seems that either could get along without the other. To interpret Barrie's subtle and delicious humor, with its ever present strain of tenderness, needs just such a winsome personality as the "little lady," as those who sit "in front" love to call her. And, without the Scotch playwright to build for her the most fascinating roles in the world, what, indeed, would Maude Adams do? But, though it is Barrie who builds the roles and writes the whimsical dialogue of those who people his plays, it is Maude Adams who sees to it that these characters speak those lines and do those things which make them fully as real and quite as human as they were in the mind's eye of the man who conceived them. And this is not an easy task. "It is my contemptible weakness," writes Barrie of himself, "that if I say a character smiled vacuously I must smile vacuously; if he frowns or leers, I frown or leer; if he is a coward or given to contortions, I cringe or twist my legs until I have to stop writing to undo the knot. I bow with him, eat with him and gnaw my mustache with him. If the character be a lady with an exquisite laugh I suddenly terrify you by laughing exquisitely. One reads of the astounding versatility of an actor who is stout and lean on the same evening, but what is he to the author who is a dozen persons within the hour? Morally, I fear, we deteriorate. But this is a subject I may wisely edge away from." And so after Mr. Barrie has played his part as dramatist Miss Adams' work has begun. How she works about her task is best told by the director of her stage: "When Miss Adams first receives a new play from Mr. Barrie she reads it over many times. She commits it to memory in its entirety. When this is accomplished she begins to visualize its characters from the most important to the most insignificant. Mentally she pictures first the segregated situations and then the entire action of the play. Her conception is always subject to subsequent changes, but, as a rule, she addresses to her original ideas. When she has mastered the play in the manner described the rehearsals are got under way. But these are conducted along lines quite different from the usual method pursued in stage work. Instead of dealing with the cast as a whole Miss Adams rehearses the principal characters individually. While this work is going on the minor characters are being taken care of by stage directors, who, for the sake of coherency, impersonate the more important, yet absent characters. Then comes the day when a complete rehearsal is called and the remarkable part of this performance is that every detail of action and every part of the action fits together as splendidly as though the complete cast had been working side by side for a month. And the satisfying result is that enthusiasm has not been dulled nor illusion dispelled by long and tiresome sessions where a more apt individual would often be made to wait upon one not so quick to perceive a given direction." To preserve books from becoming musty and possibly moldy in moist weather place a few drops of oil of lavender and Canadian beaum in a back corner of each shelf. This will not injure the bindings of leather books as sulphur compounds do, but helps to preserve the bindings. Cookery Points Don't Cry Over Sour Milk. At this season sour milk is often a source of unnecessary household waste. Though sour milk has not as many uses as sweet milk there is no good reason for throwing it away, since there are at least one hundred delicious dishes in the making of which sour milk is better than the sweet. When these dishes are wanted, if there is no sour milk on hand, sweet milk is often soured by the use of rennet. In the southern states, where hot biscuits are found on every breakfast table, only families who keep no cow or are unable to get sour milk use baking powder. These sour milk biscuits, when made by a good cook who knows how to handle soda, are not only lighter, flakier and more tasty when hot than those made with baking powder, but when cold there is an even greater difference. A baking powder biscuit will be dried and more tasteless two hours after getting cold than the sour milk biscuit in two days. Besides, the biscuit made with sour milk may be split and toasted and so made to taste just as good as when first taken from the oven. Besides biscuits there are numerous kinds of griddle cakes and batter breads, including those utilizing cold hominy or cold rice, for which sour milk and the proper proportion of soda is to be preferred to sweet milk and any brand of baking powder. There are also two varieties of sour milk pies and two kinds of sour milk raised bread. In one of these cornmeal is used, and it is called corn light bread. Doughnuts and gingerbread are almost exclusively made with sour milk. In the genuine johnnycake baking powder is not to be thought of. Only sour milk with the cream well beaten in should be used for mixing the meal before the beaten eggs are stirred in. Such a johnnycake will be eatable at the end of seven days if kept in a dry receptacle. Of course it must be thoroughly cooled before being set away. For waffles the southern cook refuses any substitute for sour milk with a pinch of soda, which, being measured, means an even teaspoonful of soda to each pint of thick sour milk. To get the best results waffles, both light and crisp, the eggs must first be beaten light, then the milk in which the soda has been thoroughly dissolved beaten in. After this comes the flour, also beaten in until the batter is light both in color and weight. Sour milk salad dressing when properly mixed and cooked cannot be distinguished from that in which sweet milk is used. The same is the case with sour milk ice cream and of fruit cake. Chocolate gingerbread, chocolate crullers and coffee squares are all improved by the use of sour milk. So are sugar cookies and all of the fruit breads in which graham flour is used. The one and only secret of using sour milk in cooking is getting the soda in the right proportion. For thick sour milk an even teaspoonful of soda is sufficient for a pint of milk. Where the milk is thin, which means that more of the curd has been eaten up by the whey, slightly more soda should be allowed. For whitening the hands and face there is nothing better than milk sufficiently sour to bite the tongue. This applied to the face, hands or neck with a soft cloth every three or five minutes is a sure cure for tan and for sunburn where the skin is not blistered. For removing tan and for cleaning silver the milk should have the cream removed. Chicken Shortcake. This very unusual dish must be put together at the last possible moment and served immediately. Make a good shortcake of biscuit dough. When done, split the cake and butter it. Have ready a plate of thinly sliced boiled chicken which has been cooled, but not iceed. Fill the shortcake with the chicken and spread thickly with a good mayonnaise, lay on the upper half, lightly butter the top, then spread it with a small bottle of macedone vegetables that have been drained, chopped and marinated in French dressing for one hour, then drained again and mixed with mayonnaise. Serve the shortcake hot and as quickly as possible garnish with sprays of parsley drawn through thin slices of lemon. This is a rich, but most satisfying dinner dish. Potato Dumplings. Scrape small new potatoes and stew with a small piece of meat. When done drop in dumplings made of one cupful of flour to which has been added one teaspoonful of baking powder and one teaspoonful of salt, with enough sweet milk added to make a stiff batter. Add one cupful of sweet milk and a little butter and cook fifteen minutes longer without raising the coover in order that the dumplings may be light. Baked Pea Soup. Baked pea soup is recommended as very rich in flavor. Cut fine one pound of shin of beef, add half a pound of veal trimmings, a pint of split pens, two carrots, diced; two onions, sliced thin, and one ounce of rice. Season with pepper and salt, adding four quarts of water and one finely chopped stalk of celery. Put the whole in a jar, cover closely and bake for four 1 AN AUTUNN COSTUME. The gowns for autumn show many ripples. The coat is rippled and also the skirt, though by no means is it overdone. In fact, the autumn tailleur is nothing if not conservative. This suit is developed in navy blue gaberdine. The shoes are black and white and also the hat, while this magnificent set of red fox completes a very nobby and fashionable costume. SUMMER NOVELTIES. Hit "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" With These Bags. Pine needle bags are a splendid reminder when autumn and winter come of the healthful days spent in the mountains where the pines rear their towering heads to the skies. THE TRAD OF THE LONESON PINE TWO PINE BAGS AND A ROSE LEAF BAG. These bags and also the bag of rose leaves pictured are splendid in their medicinal effect upon the tired nerves of the dweller in towns. These pine bags are hand embroidered, and the rose leaf bag has an appropriate covering of rose figured cretonne. To Clean Feather Pillows. Open one corner of the ticking cover and pour boiling water in. This renders the feathers a kind of pulpy wet mass, which can be easily handled. Take them out and wash in soap and water thoroughly. Put back into the washed cover and hang out in the hot sun, where the feathers will swell to fill the cover and be wonderfully light and perfectly clean without having been scattered at all, as is bound to happen when dry. FIG FANCIES. Beat to a cream one cupful butter and two cupfuls white sugar. Add two eggs well beaten and one teaspoonful of baking powder sifted with enough flour to permit easy oilling. Roll thin and stamp in any desired shape. Wet the edges, place a teaspoonful of fig filling on one side of the shape, turn out the other half, press the edges together and bake about ten minutes in a hot oven. To make the filling add to two cupfuls of figs, chopped fine, one cupful white sugar and one-half cupful water. Bake thirty minutes, cool and use. THE FASHION WEEKLY FOR THE AUTUMN MAID. Why has ultra modish femininity worn furs all summer? No one will ever know, and now the fox has slyly crept into the fashionable picture for autumn, and we see him everywhere—in the shop windows and prowling about milady's neck and hanging over her arm in the shape of a muff. Shown here the beautiful color of the fur is an excellent foll against the background of golden brown fallie silk, of which the one piece frock is built. WHO PAYS HER SALARY? Miss Charlotte Rumbold's Request Refused Because She is Not a Voter. Miss Charlotte Rumbold, supervisor of recreation in St. Louis, has been refused a salary by the St. Louis city fathers, has rejected the offer of the women to have her salary made up by donations from the City club and has resigned her position. She believes the workman is worthy of his hire. She believes that a workwoman is worthy of her hire—also that is, she thinks that salaries should be paid according to the task and not according to the sex of the worker. She brought the municipal playground and recreation facilities of St Louis up to their present standard, which is the boast of St. Louis. The work has grown from one playground—instituted, by the way, by the Wednesday club (of women)—to many playgrounds. The first was given on the condition that some woman approved by the Wednesday club be put in charge of it. Now there is an entire system of recreation grounds serving nearly every part of the city. Miss Rumbold has not taken a vacation since she began work. Recently, however, she asked that her salary "be raised to what it is reasonably worth as measured by salaries paid for similar work in other cities." This the board of aldermen decided it could not do because "Miss Rumbold is not a voter. The taxes of the city are paid by men, not women," said the board, and that fact governed it in refusing Miss Rumbold's request. The women of St. Louis sat up then and began to take notice. They asked each other: "How about this question of taxes? Do we not pay them?" These are some of the things they have found out about themselves: The state of Missouri has between a third and one-half as many single women paying an income tax as it has single men. "Of the 9,500 married men who pay income taxes, do not their wives share in this payment?" they asked the wives. The wives uttered just one word—"Yes." St. Louis out of its 350,000 women permits nearly 78,000 to work as wage earners for the increase of its wealth. "Where do these women belong in the city's economic development?" asked the roused St. Louis women. Out of all the great number of housekeepers in the city who pay taxes indirectly on everything their household's eat and wear, who save out of their household budgets for the tax collector's demands, only 947 receive wages—that is, less than 1,000 housekeepers are counted self supporting. Now the women of St. Louis are gathering themselves into a Woman Voter league, and it is said that some of St. Louis' biggest women taxpayers will rally to its banner. Before Miss Rumbold left for New York the Town club gathered to bid her farewell. The president of the club, Alma Gibson Robb, called upon all her members to come and assure Miss Rumbold of their unqualified approval of her stand on the woman question. "As a woman of whom we are all proud we bid her godsend." Care of the Baby In Summer Baby's Worries. [Prepared by the children's bureau, United States department of labor.] ed States department of labor. People are often exasperated at the freewellness of some baby, and even mothers lose patience when a baby persistently worries, forgetting that it is only in this way that the baby can express his discomfort. Babies do not cry without cause, and when a baby cries a great deal it is a pretty good sign that something is the matter. The cause of the crying may be a very slight in itself. A baby compelled to wear knitted work bootes on a hot day may be utterly miserable, and another may be tormented beyond endurance by a woolen shirt or starched cap strings. Very thin, lightweight cotton garments and the lowest possible number are all the baby needs on hot days. Other sources of worry are: Prickly Heat.—This appears as a fine red rash usually on the neck and shoulders and gradually spreads to the head, face and arms. It is caused by overheating, due either to the hot weather or to the fact that the baby is too warmly dressed. The rash comes and goes with the heat and causes intense itching. The remedy for it is to take off all the clothing and give the baby a sponge bath in tepid water in which common baking soda has been dissolved. Use a tablespoonful of soda to two quarts of water. Use no soap and do not rub the skin, but pat it dry with a soft towel. After the skin is thoroughly dry dust the inflamed surfaces with a plain talcum powder. This aliment, like all others, is more readily prevented than cured. Frequent cool baths, very little clothing, simple food and living in cool rooms or in the open air will probably save the summer baby from much of the annoyance of prickly heat and other more serious ills. Chafing.-Fat babies are very apt to suffer from chafing, especially in hot I THIS BABY IS COOL. weather. It appears as a redness of the skin in the buttocks or in the armpits or wherever two skin surfaces persistently rub together. Much the same treatment is required as in prickly heat. Never use soap on an inflamed skin. Instead use a soda, bran or starch bath, as advised in a former article. Directions for these baths are given in a publication called Infant Care, which may be had free of charge by addressing a request to the chief of the children's bureau, United States department of labor, Washington. Great care should be taken not to let the baby scratch the skin when it is irritated. Sift together two parts powdered cornstarch and one part boric acid and use it freely on the chafed places. Remove wet or dry diapers at once. Wash and dry the flesh thoroughly, then dust and powder freely between the lees. Milk Crust—This is a skin disease affecting the scalp, in which yellowish scaly patches appear on the baby's head. These patches should be softened by anointing them with olive oil or vaseline at night and the head washed with warm water and castile soap in the morning. If the crust does not readily come away repeat the process until the scalp is clean. Never use a fine comb or the finger nails to remove the crust, as the slightest irritation of the skin will cause the disease to spread further. The scales will usually disappear after a few days' careful treatment. Constipation.—If the baby does not have at least one full bowel movement in twenty-four hours or in thirty-six at the outside he is in need of such care as will bring about this result. Breast fed babies often respond to an increased supply of laxative food in the mother's diet. If this is not sufficient a six-months-old baby may have a table-spoonful of strained orange juice between two of his morning feedings. Perhaps the best preventive of constipation is to teach the baby to move the bowels at the same hour every day. This training should be begun when the baby is three months old and should be faithfully continued until the habit is firmly established. Directions for carrying out this training are given in the pamphlet on infant care, already mentioned. Do not use enemas for the relief of constipation save in emergencies and do not resort to purgative medicines except with the doctor's advice. For the Children Herman Miller Healthiest Baby on Staten Island. 1910 Photo by American Press Association. The rather solemn young gentleman here pictured is quite distinguished in a way—and a very good way it is. He is Master Herman Miller, aged about one year, and his distinction comes from good health. Herman won a prize recently because he was declared by a competent committee of doctors to be the healthiest baby exhibited at a recent baby show held on Staten Island, New York city. While a fairly good looking youngster, Herman did not win the beauty prize. That went to a girl. But good health in itself is something to be proud of, and Herman no doubt is perfectly content that a girl won the beauty prize. Game of Initials.

Bucks the Indian. The captains are chosen, and each captain then chooses alternately the remaining company until two long lines are formed. They face each other, holding hands tightly. One captain calls the name of one of his strongest boys, and this boy runs and hurls himself between two boys of the opposing side. If he succeeds in breaking through he takes back with him to his own side all the boys on the line below the place he broke through. If he is unsuccessful he must join the enemy's side. This is kept up, each side taking a turn until all the boys are on one side, the captain included. The strongest boys should be stationed near the top of the line, near the captain, and stratagam is shown in trying to catch the strong boys off their guard by pretending to tackle the boys at the bottom of the line.

It often happens that a certain disease will show but little evidence in the first stage. It is possible for the first stage to show no symptoms of any description, yet the disease is of a fatal character. It is so fatal that it has a mortality that is startling. It has been called the modern plague, notwithstanding the fact that it's record extends from time immemorial. It is a disease of slow evolution and hence does not reveal it's deadly action early. It is insidious in it's nature but decidedly destructive ultimately. No other disease has such a variety of symptoms in the late stages. It has been commonly supposed to have three stages; some writers claim that four stages exist. What has been called the fourth stage by some writers is called General Paralysis of the Insane and Locomotor Ataxia or other significant name by others. All authorities admit that when the disease does not receive proper and sufficient treatment the logical conclusion is that it will manifest itself by disastrous symptoms that often mislead the most careful physicians. The disease has been called the greatest actor on account of it's multiplicity of manifestations. It has been mistaken for all the various well known diseases; such a mistake in diagnosis is fatal for obvious reasons. The moral is: Do not take the opinion of any one except a duly qualified physician, for even he will often need the aid of the pathologist to differentiate it from other diseases. If a mistake is made in diagnosis in the first stage the disease gains a comfortable lead over the treatment. It is possible to cure the disease if it is discovered early but if the fact of it's presence in the body is not known until it has developed certain pathological phenomena, it cannot be eradicated. The patient will have certain manifestations, few or many, which may deceive the best diagnosticians. It is not wise to let the disease reach a state that will prevent it's recognition and hence lead Meat In Middle Ages. Much of the medieval meat, which Cobbett says was plentiful and cheap, must have been poor stuff. Until the introduction of root crops in the eighteenth century cattle and sheep did not become even moderately plump till the end of summer, while lack of fodder made it impossible to keep much live stock during the winter. On St. Martin's day (Nov. 11) arrangements were usually made for slaughtering on a large scale, and for the next six months fresh meat worth eating was practically unobtainable. Until the spring grass was again ready there was a run on salted beef and salted mutton. Salted beef is excellent—for a change. But have you ever tried salted mutton?—London Graphic. Futility of Flattery. Nothing is ever gained by flattery. To the serious man flattery in the form of sincere praise makes him more responsible and only sadder because he knows how much he falls below what is expected of him and what he expects of himself. Lip flattery makes a real man feel as though his sex had been mistaken. He feels as though he had been given curling tongs instead of a razor for his morning toilet—New York Telegram.

The first stage lasts about a month. The second stage begins after an intermission of from six to twelve weeks. It is possible for this stage to fail of manifestation. The disease can be transmitted in this stage as well as in the initial stage. The evidence of this stage is generally greater than that of any stage but it may be so meager that the disease is not recognized. That is unfortunate because it leaves the way open for the more deadly third stage or the most unfortunate disasters called by various names, such as mentioned in the early part of this article. The whole body is the field of attack of this terror; but the central nervous system is attacked more than any other part of the anatomy. Of four thousand cases the brain was affected in two thousand individuals, while the lungs, the heart, the eye, the throat, the liver and other organs showed late manifestations. Late manifestations in the lungs are easily mistaken for pulmonary tuberculosis, commonly called consumption. Certain late manifestations when located in the joints are erroneously called rheumatism; the consequences are awful. Hereditary types of the disease show in many children. The eyes and the teeth bear unmistakeable evidence to the trained eye of the doctor. It is very evident to those who are thoughtful that the doctor is powerless in this disease, often unless he can obtain a trustworthy history. Since much history is false, the reliance must be symptoms, which are often misleading, combined with laboratory findings, which are not conclusive. Treatment sometimes proves the diagnosis; it is called the therapeutic test. But how useless this must be in the latest manifestations is evident. When chronic incurable degenerations have sealed the doom of the unfortunate sufferer confinement in a mad-house or some other fatal syndrome has made it's appearance it is too late. "A stitch in time saves nine." What Is a Placer? A placer is an unconsolidated deposits accumulated by mechanical processes, carrying one or more minerals in commercial quantities. All placer are secondary deposits—that is, the material of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bedrock. Although it is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity in placer. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sorting, but more commonly are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richest placer are those formed by the erosion of older placer and the reconcentration of their gold. George's Father Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged in 1732 in making pig iron at Atacockeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va., about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Principio company, composed of English capitalists, as early as 1726 on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,600 acres and containing iron ore, Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace property in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company. A Chinese Gutenberg There is pretty good evidence of a Chinese Gutenberg, one Pi Ching, who in 1041 carved cubes of porcelain paste with Chinese characters, afterward baked them and "set" the porcelain type by help of parallel wires on a plate of iron in a cement bed.

Coriat answers the question thus in “The Meaning of Dreams:” It can be shown through dream anal- ysis that dreams subserve a definite function in our mental life in that they really act as protectors and not as dis. turbers of sleep. This guardianship of sleep by means of dreams is due to the persistent dynamic action of the cen- sor. In sleep the censor is exceeding- ly active, and its function is to protect sleep from the mass of repressed emo tions which threaten to overwhelm the sleeper in the shape of a dream. This is done by means of the dream mecha- nisms, in which the dream thoughts are fused and displayed, thus under- going such disguise and symbolization as to be unrecognizable to the sleeper and consequently not disturbing to him. When the censor nods or is evad- ed, when the literal dream thoughts bombard and invade consciousness in an undisguised form, sleep is disturbed and insomnia results.

Portage and Ash- tabula and became known as the west- era reserve. It was settled chiefly by emigrants from Connecticut and was sometimes called New Connecticut. Im promoting the settlement of the lap@ Connecticut reserved half a mil- lion acres from the Western end of the tract for bestowal upon her citizens who had suffered losses during the war, and the lands embraced in this special reserve were called “sufferers? lands” and later “fire lands,” because most of the sufferers had been losers by fire.

It is only @ means of getting things that can be enjoyed, and so greed for money is not a direct greed, but indirect.

To the sea the Dutch owe most of their wealth. The art of curing herring was discovered by a poor Dutch fisherman, William Bekkens, in 1830, who found that the fish which they caught in great abundance could be smoked and salted away in kegs and then transported to the ends of the world in good condition. Such a trade resulted that it was said that "Amsterdam is built on herring bones." Several hundred years after the death of Bekkens the emperor, Charles V., went to the tomb of the fisherman and there ate a herring in gratitude for the invention. And in a church in Biervillet today may be seen a stained glass window in honor of this man. Herring have been one of the chief means of trade to the Hollanders, so that even at the present day the first catch is taken to the royal palace in a coach and six. The fact that the two dominant political parties of Holland for hundreds of years were called the "Cods" and the "Fishhooks" shows that maritime matters were the uppermost in the people's thoughts.—Exchange. Concerning the Delemites. The fairyland about Cortina is familiar to thousands of tourists as "The Dolomites." Dolomite, a rock compound of carbonate of lime and carbonate of magnesia, takes its name from the French geologist Deodat de Gratet, Marquis de Dolomieu, who spent his time in 1789 and the following years, while his countrymen were busy with revolution and war, in visiting this and other Alpine districts. He first mentions this kind of rock in 1791, and the word "Dolomite" first occurs in a pamphlet of 1802 describing a tour of his in the Alps about the St. Gothard and the Simplon. The curious point, noted by Mr. Coolidge, is that the marquis seems to have paid no attention to the dolomite rocks in the neighborhood of his own home. Dolomieu, near Grenoble.—London Mirror.

The Rise of Newfoundland. Newfoundland has had a curious history. Cabot, sailing from Eustol, discovered it in 1497, and in 1583 Sir Humphrey Gilbert annexed its wild and rocky shores for Queen Elizabeth. Yet until 130 years ago it was illegal to build a permanent house there. The island was held by "merchant adventurers" for the sake of the fisheries. They hired their fishermen in England, took them across the Atlantic each spring and brought them back at the commencement of winter. Newfoundland's importance in the cod fishery arises to a great extent from the fact that it is only within her waters that the small fish desirable as bait can be obtained in the necessary quantities—London Telegraph. A Curious Royal Custom. When any Spanish sovereign dies the body is at once submitted to the process of fossilization, nor can it be placed in the royal pantheon until the body has been absolutely turned into stone. Curiously enough, the period required for fossilization varies considerably. Some royal bodies have become solidified in a very short period, while others have taken years before the fossilization took place. Net Much. "Is it true, mamma," asked Ethel, "that the ostrich hides its head in the sand?" "Yes, dear; they say that is the case."

There is no place in the world where money is under less supervision than in Canada. The coins in circulation there are not confined to the Dominion. British halfpennies and pennies circulate as freely as the cents, and United States coins of all descriptions are accepted as equal in value to the Canadian coins, though the United States refuses to handle the coins of the Dominion on its own side of the border. In the course of a busy day in Canada you are not surprised to meet coinage of many nations. Sometimes you get finds. A correspondent who is an amateur coin collector tells me he got among his change a beautiful specimen of a farthing of the reign of George III., and an hour or two afterward he became the possessor of an old Irish halfpenny over 100 years old, with the harp on one side. Probably these two coins had been carefully preserved, but poverty induced the proprietors to part with them.—London Chronicle. Then There Was a Shakeup. Some years ago the Italian minister of foreign affairs, Signor Primetti, asked his majesty King Victor Emmanuel to sign a decree for the augmentation of the staff of the foreign office. The king promised to think the matter over and the next morning set out alone on foot to pay a visit to the office. Arriving at 9 o'clock, he found no one there. A long search unearthed a solitary clerk who was smoking cigarettes. "What are the hours of this office?" asked the king. "From 8 to 12," was the reply. "And when may I expect to see your colleagues?" "They generally turn up about 11." "Very well. When your chief comes tell him the king has been here." And then his majesty sent for Signor Prinetti and suggested that instead of asking for more clerks he should make it his business to see that those already on the staff attended to their duties. The Inguitive Japan The Japanese have a lively desire to know all about you. They are actively interested in your health, your business, your habits, your wealth, your personal affairs, how you like your eggs for breakfast, what your clothes cost, where you are going, when you are going and why you are going; what you intend to do after you get there, what your excuse for existing is, how often you get your hair cut, how many children you have or have not and why, what your watch cost, who is your tailor, how often you wash your teeth, how much you owe, whether you have any birthmarks and what was the occupation of your grandfather. These and all other topics that are personal to you they are anxious to discover. Their curiosity is unbounded; but, my sakes, how polite they are about it!-Samuel G. Blythe in Saturday Evening Post. Hunting Trouble. When a man just naturally wants trouble it is mighty easy to find an excuse for making it. According to Mike Hogan, Casey and O'Brien were having a personal argument of their own. It had progressed to the extent that each had forgotten what it was about originally, and they were wholly oblivious of the gathering crowd until an urbane and genteel person in a frock coat put in. "Come, come, my man," he said, gently plucking Casey by the sleeve. "You don't want to fight. I can tell it by your looks. Your face is too bengn"—"Two be nine! Two be nine, is ut, ye scut?" bellowed Casey. "Me face is two be nine, is ut?" And there was where the real trouble began—Louisville Times. Longings. A well known essayist and connolseur of New York attended recently an artistic tea in Washington square. Near artists of all sorts—near poets, near sculptors, near painters and near novelists—attended the tea. The ladies wore djibbals of green burlap. The gentlemen wore sandals. The collation was vegetarian. Lovely calm, at that moment. Looking calmly at that mass of freaks, he said, with a smile: "Artistic longings consist invariably, it seems, of long hair, long teeth and long faces—everything but long purses, in fact."—Washington Star. Trenches in War. The Romans, who were the first to make war a real art (if one forgets a certain Alexander), were in consequence the first to use trenches. Their main line of infrenchment ran across southern Germany from the east bank of the Rhine to near the present Stuttgart. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. AUGUST 21, 1915. At Balaklava. The total Russian forces, infantry, cavalry and artillery, at Balaklava has been variously estimated at from 30,000 to 50,000 men, while the English force was much smaller in numbers. The two famous charges of that day were that of the heavy brigade of about 900 men against 3,000 Russians and the still more renowned charge of the light brigade of about 600 men against the Russian guns. No accurate figures seem to be recorded, as those given by various authorities differ greatly. The result of the first charge was the break of the Russian cavalry, which fed back to the protection of their artillery and were not pursued very far by the British. The second charge was unsuccessful as a military measure, for, though the Russian gunners were momentarily driven from their guns, they returned and fired upon friend and foe alike, while a superior force of cavalry engaged the British. It is said that evening parade saw only ten men mounted out of the 600 who had ridden in the charge. Sights in Italian Cities Sights in Italian Cities Genoa and Rome are the most beautifully lighted cities in Europe because their streets are narrow enough to allow of the slinging of white electric globes across from house to house. There are no disfiguring lampposts, but at intervals down the middle of the street swing the globes of light of the tint of moonlight. Venice, on the contrary, is terribly overlighted and glitters distressingly and inappropriately. Ruskin complained that the gas in the great plaza had grown so dazzling in his day that walking or sitting there he could no longer see moon or stars. What would he have thought of the horrid exaggeration of the clusters of electric lights? Without being a Ruskin one longed to switch off nine out of every ten.—London Globe. How Very Annexing! Just as the young man raised his hat in response to a bow and a smile from the beautiful girl who was passing by his foot struck a banana peel and flew out from under him. He landed on the back of his neck, his hat flying in one direction and his cane in another. "Are you hurt?" asked a friendly policeman as the victim of the accident sat up and began to swear volubly. "Hurt!" he exclaimed. "No, I'm not hurt. I'm dead sore; that's what I am. That bonehead camera man across the street forgot to turn the crank, and now I've got to do that fall all over again." Then the policeman realized that he had been privileged to see a moving picture comedy in the making. — St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Putting Off. When the ship Central America sprung aleak in midocean a steamer, seeing her signal, drew near and asked, "What is amiss?" "We are in bad repair. Lie by till morning," was the answer. "Better let me take your passengers on board now." "No," said the captain; "He by till morning." In an hour the lights of the ill faded steamer were not visible. She had gone down, and all had perished. Mr. Moody once closed a meeting in Chicago, saying, "Think this matter over till next Sunday." On their way home from church that evening a light suddenly flashed across the sky. It was the beginning of the great Chicago fire. That congregation never assembled again—Christian Herald. Melancholy Aunt Clara from the country had the habit of listening to the big clock on the town hall in the village where she was visiting and exclaiming every time it struck: "Eternity draws one hour nearer." Clarence was very much impressed with that solemn reflection. One day the big clock got out of order. While repairing it the workmen made it strike every few minutes. Clarence heard it with bulging eyes. His Excuse. Justice of Peace—Your wife says you struck her. Have you any excuse to offer, uncle? The Prisoner—Ah suitily has, judge.

The cowbells used in Switzerland have a peculiar sound, rather mournful in its dringing prolongation. It has been discovered that tigers fear it and run when they hear it. Therefore Swiss cowbells have been introduced into the Himalayas as a protection for cattle. An old, steady going farmer was accustomed to ride to the market town upon a rather bad tempered horse. One day his man Bob brought the animal, which was especially vicious that morning, to the door, the horse trying to bite and kick and giving a good deal of trouble. The farmer mounted the horse with some difficulty and began to walk it out of the yard when Bob, who still entertained ill feeling against the animal, picked up a stone and dung it at him with all his force; but, alas, his alm was erratic, and the missile struck his master on the head. Half dazed for a moment, the farmer turned slowly in his saddle, and not suspecting the real cause of the blow, he measured with his eye the horse's hind hoofs and his own head and, settling himself in the saddle again, started off with the remark, "Well, he alus was an okard beggar."—London Mail. Karlsruhe's First Family. Sleepy Karlsruhe is amusingly depicted by Sir Horace Rumbold, who passed a dull part of his diplomatic career there. He found Karlsruhe society entirely composed of half a dozen families of long descent and small means, who had intermarried for generations. Whoever was not a Gemmingen was a Hardenberg or a Duerckheim or an Amenongen. Talleyrand had a tale of his first visit to the Karlsruhe theater. "Who is that lady in the third box on the first tier?" "That is a Gemmingen," said the young native who accompanied him. "And that general in the stalls?" "Also a Gemmingen." At last Talleyrand exclaimed, "Why, you all seem to be Gemmingens!" "Yes," said the youth in German-French, "but all are not good Gemmingens. I am a good Gemmingen—Gemmingen-Gemmingen-Gutenberl!" -London Standard. Ben Franklin's Chair In his old age Benjamin Franklin's health failed him to a considerable extent. He suffered from gout and the stone, which, with complications, eventually carried him off. But he was always exceedingly cheerful, even when suffering, and, as one of his friends has recorded, "full of anecdotes and learning." Even at this time in his life he added to the already extensive list of his inventions, contriving among other things a most curious chair which, when desired, could be converted into a stepladder for the purpose of reaching the higher shelves in a library. As far as known, only one of these chairs was ever actually constructed for his own particular use, and this is owned at present by the Philosophical society of Philadelphia. Rain. There are so many things worse than rain that we refuse to fret about it. If we had the toothache every other day for two months straight we might growl. If an amateur cornetist lived next door and practiced regularly we should complain; if bills were sent in once a week instead of once a month; if bores never went home; if all friendship were mercenary and false in adversity; if sickness visited us oftener and stayed longer than health; if malicious people were many and the kind few we might justifiably be miserable and remain so. But so long as so many worse things that could be don't arrive it can rain every day if it wants to. Most of our joy is weather proof.—Detroit Free Press. Copernicus. Nicholas Copernicus was the founder of modern astronomy. He was born in Poland in 1473. His father was a Pole, and his mother was a German. He went to the university at Cracow, where he studied medicine, theology, mathematics and astronomy. Later he devoted his whole attention to astronomy and developed the "Copernican" system, which is the one now universally accepted. It regards the sun as the center of the solar system and the planets, of which the earth is one, as revolving around it, while around the majority of these primary, one or more secondary orbs, known as moons, revolve. The first stars are regarded as suns, each with its own planetary system. The Vatican. The Vatican was not originally intended as a place of residence. Comparatively a small-part of it is now residential; the remainder serves the purposes of science, art and the administration of the Catholic church. Of the 1,000 rooms in the great palace 200 serve as residences for the pope, secretary of state and the other high officials of the church. Among the most inaccessible of decorations is the Grand Cross of the Russian Order of St. George, founded by Catherine the Great in 1769. In all its history of more than 150 years there have been but four Russians to receive the grand cross. The first was the Empress Catherine herself, who assumed it ex officio. The late Grand Duke Michael Nicholaevitch, having received the inferior grades in the Crimean and Caucasus wars, was awarded the grand cross for his achievements as commander in chief of the Russian army in Asia Minor during the war with Turkey in 1877. His brother, Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaevitch, was on the same occasion elected a knight grand cross of the order for his victorious leadership of the Russian forces in Europe to San Stefano, within sight of the walls of Constantinople, while Ozar Alexander II. was persuaded by the knights of the order to don its grand cross on the occasion of the celebration of the centennial of its foundation. Giraffes and Telephone Wires. At a recent meeting of the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London W. L. Preece told of the damage done to telephone systems in the tropics by animals. The giraffes in East Africa, he said, have not sense enough to duck their heads when they find a telephone or telegraph wire across their tracks, but push on and carry the wires and sometimes the poles with them. White ants eat the telegraph poles if these are of any wood but teak. He showed a telephone instrument that had been used as a hive by bees, which entered by the slot for the switch hook and formed inside a comb that was renewed as often as it was cleared away by the engineers. Sipiders also destroy the insulation by spinning over the wires webs that when saturated by dew reduce the insulation resistance to a few ohms. Ancient Iceland. Iceland was founded A. D. 874 by men from Norway. In the words of John Fiske, "it was such a wholesale colonization of picked men as had not been seen since ancient Greek times and was not to be seen again until Winthrop sailed into Massachusetts bay. It was not long before the population of Iceland was 50,000. Their sheep and cattle flourished, hay crops were heavy, a lively trade—with fish, oil, butter and skins in exchange for meal and malt—was up with Norway, Denmark and the British isles. Political freedom was unimpaired, justice was fairly well administered, naval superiority kept all foes at a distance, and under such conditions the growth of the new community—in wealth and culture was surprisingly rapid." Disliked Egotism. "What's the matter with you?" asked his wife. "I'm feeling lonely," was the reply. "Don't you like this town?" "People are too egotistical. If there is anything I hate it's egotism. And when I see kings going about confidently and doing things wrong, and diplomats trying all sorts of insincore tricks with complete effrontery, and lawyers seeking applause for arguing on the wrong side of a case, and everybody displaying utter selfishness without a blush, I am forced to the conviction that I am the only consistently moral gentleman on this globe. And it makes me feel lonely."—Exchange Ebony. Ebony of the best quality comes from India, Ceylon and other tropical countries, where it is obtained in logs sometimes fifteen and twenty feet long.

Their average wages did not run over 8 shillings (about $2) a week. "It seemed," wrote Samuel Smiles, "a very unlikely place in which to establish a bank for savings, where the poor people were already obliged to strain every nerve to earn a bare living, to provide the means of educating their children—for, however small his income, the Scottish peasant almost invariably contrives to save something wherewith to send his children to school—and to pay their little control buttons to the friendly society of the parish." In four years this unpromising field yielded to the Rev. Henry Duncan's bank at Ruthwell nearly $5,000. The bank became self sustaining, and all over Scotland and England the new savings bank idea spread. - Chicago News. England's First Scientist The first great English scientist was Roger Bacon, who died in 1294. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed that this year marks the seven hundredth anniversary. He was persecuted and condemned and much of his work destroyed, so that the extent of his discoveries cannot be definitely known. It is certain that he was centuries ahead of his ignorant and credulous times in chemistry, mechanics and mathematics. Branded as a magician, he was thrown into prison. From 1277 until a short time before his death Bacon was immured in a fithy cell. He is said to have invented the camera obscura, the air pump and the diving bell, and he was acquainted with the uses of optical lenses and the nature of gunpowder, although the projectile power of gunpowder appears not to have been discovered until the following century. It is said that during a war Bacon set fire to the chief buildings in a town by using burning lenses. Flexible Stone. Ihacolumite is a peculiar stone which is found in Brazil. When flexible ihacolumite is cut into thin plates, and when examined with a microscope it is found to be composed almost entirely of fine grains of sand of peculiar shape, with indented edges which interlock like the fingers of clasped hands. The flexibility of the material results from this interlocking of the grains of sand, of which it is chiefly composed. Although but few persons know that this stone can be anything but hard, the flexible stone is not so much of a curiosity as it seems, for it is found in North Carolina, and there are specimens of it in a case at the Philadelphia collection. The sensation of handling a piece of stone which bends like a piece of rubber is a strange experience. If handled too roughly the stone breaks--Indian apolis News. A Museum's Worst Enemy. One of the worst enemies curators of museums have to contend with is a tiny beetle, which works so neatly that there is no evidence of its woeful work until the specimen is found dismembered or otherwise ruined. Neither in America or England has any effectual remedy been found. The tiny mischief worker is the Anthrenus museorum. The adult measures only or even less than one-eighth of an inch in length and is convex in form. The female lays eggs in specimens, and the larvae feed on them—the valued butterfly and the magnificent beetle—brought from afar. These larvae are small, plump, hairy grubs, and the sole sign of their presence, likely to be overlooked by the amateur, is a few specks of brown dust in the case—Scientific American. Next Door to It. An acquaintance of the late Josh Billings was one day talking with him about the remarkable increase of imitations and substitutes for original articles, as oleomargarine for butter, celluloid for ivory, and so forth, "and," said he "many of the substitutes go ahead of the real thing. I guess in time there will be a substitute for everything, though I don't know about wisdom." "No," replied the humorist, "up to the present time at least there is no really good substitute for wisdom. But silence is the best that has so far been discovered." Slow Fathers. "Mamma, I'm afraid papa was pret slow, when he was a young man." "Perhaps he was. He always paid his debts and used good English, and knew nothing about cigarettes, and never saw a taxcab, and hadn't any clubs, and was able to support a wife before he married. I guess he was pretty slow." -Cleveland Plain Dealer. His Handicap. "My most disturbing thought is that I may die and leave my son unprovided for." "But won't he be able to make his own living?"

In ap attempt to flustrate grapht- cally the relative valves for summer and winter wear of different colors tn dress materials an interesting expert- ment was recently conducted, says Popular Mechanics. Four strips of cloth made of the same material and weight, but of different colors, were placed on a cake of ice and exposed to the sun. The fabrics were white, yel- low, red and black. ‘The result show- ed in a striking way how white re fects the sun's rays, while black ab- sorbs them. ‘The ice covered by the plece of white cloth was not melted to any ap- preciable degree during the test, that under the yellow strip was slightly-de- pressed, a deep cut was formed be- neath the red cloth and # groove sp- proximately twice as deep as that cov- ered by the latter was melted under the black fabric. atime: | Perhaps the origin of our slang term “pinched,” meaning arrested, is in De ‘foe's poem “Hymn to the Pillory.” Im- mared in 1703 in Newgate, Defoe con soled himself with the reflection that. ‘having meant well, he suffered unjust ly.

In the ‘Manchester Guardian of June 14, 1872, ‘there is an account of a man enduring this form of punishment at Newbury. He was a rag and bone dealer of in- temperate habits and was fixed tn the stocks for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. “Twenty-six years had elape- €@ since the stocks were ast used,” ‘States this account, “and their reap- pearance created no little sensation and amusement, several hundreds of Dersons being attracted to the spot ‘where they were fixed.” ‘The “amuse- Ment” does not appear to have been shared by the prisoner, who was re Jeased after four hours and “seemed anything but pleased with the laughter and derision of the crowd.” ‘Truth Persists. The prejudices of one age are con- demmed even by the prejudiced of the succeeding ages. The truth haters of every future generation will call the trath haters of another generation by thetr true names—tfor even these the stream of time carries onward. In fine, truth. considered in itself and in the effects natural to it, may be con- sidered as a gentle spring or water course, warm fromthe genial earth and breathing up into the snowdrift that is piled up and around its outlet.

Gray of Newark, N. J., has been employed in one position with the same firm for the last fifty years. In recognition of the devotion of Lady Ralph Paget the municipality of Uskub, Servia, has decided to rename the finest street in that city after her. Much of the credit of the home relief work done in Philadelphia during the last winter is due to the hard work of Mrs. J. Willis Martin, wife of Judge Martin. Miss U. L. Poinkalszky has charge of the unique school maintained on Ellis island by the United States government to teach immigrant children quartered there. Miss Helen Lozonitch, who has come to this country to co-operate with the Servian agricultural relief committee, is the daughter of the former secretary of agriculture and commerce of Servia. She was decorated by her country for heroism and valor as a war nurse. She reads and speaks English well. maintants of the Americas have a perfectly good hemisphere with plenty of room on it, and they should stick to it. Hatred in plants kills men, says a scientist. A toadstool, then, must be a mushroom in a highly peeved state of mind. Europe lingered on the verge of war for many years; more by far, it is hoped, than will be necessary to bring about a preparedness for peace. Train and Track The International and Great North on railway, Texas, is about to spend $1,000,000 for improvements. In a new type of interurban car the engine runs at a constant rate, the speed of the car being governed by friction drive, which is applied to each of the eight wheels independently. Without stopping his train an engineer can move a lever in his cab and open a newly devised switch to enable him to enter a sitting, the switch automatically closing when the last car has passed over it. The Royal Box The Prince of Wales, it is said, after the war will give his attention to agriculture. The kaiser is entitled to wear the uniform of every regiment in the German army. Every year the king of Siam sends a contingent of Siamese scholars to England to be educated at his expense. King Victor Emanuel of Italy is a great numismatist and possesses a collection of over 20,000 coins, which is said to be the finest in Europe. English Etchings When you undertake to study human nature begin on yourself. Some people who ask for a crust invariably want it over a ple. A man can always find time to do a thing if he has the inclination. Hope is all right in its way, but men who try to live on it are hopeless. The Liberty bell has a crack in it, but fortunately its ring is no longer needed. The easiest way to commit suicide involuntarily is to walk upon a railroad track. "Safety first" is a good motto, but too many people wait until it's too late to be careful. A lot of men expect the bread they throw on the water to come back to them in the form of cake. During lulls in the fighting the belligerents ought to be able to think of some good excuse for quitting. If Uncle Sam ever has occasion to do so he will issue a red, white and blue book, and it is likely to be the final word. The changed national boundaries announced in Southwest Africa are manifestly subject to confirmation by the treaty of peace. When one notes how much food has been exported to Europe during the last eleven months one wonders what would have become of it all if there had been no war. The Royal Box. Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the German emperor, has just received a patent for an apparatus for cleaning the wind shields of automobiles. King George V. must be the most widely traveled monarch in history. Beginning with a trip to Ireland at the age of eight, his majesty has visited Canada, the United States, Palestine, Egypt, the Crimea, Constantinople, Russia, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Australasia, South Africa and India. The Empress Carlotta, as the Princess Charlotte was known after her husband was made emperor of Mexico, became insane after a mental breakdown in 1866. In 1879 she was pronounced incurable and confined by her family near Brussels, where she has been kept ever since. She is the aunt of King Albert of the Belgians. Educational Notes. There are 18,600,040 pupils in United States public schools. A million and a quarter of dollars is on deposit in school savings banks in the United States, according to the national bureau of education. This money is distributed among 217,000 pupils, who thereby learn lessons of thrift for use in later life. Two out of every thousand public high school boys receive military instruction in school as compared with five in every thousand fifteen years ago. While the total number of boys in public high schools has increased since 1900 from 216,207 to 541,486, the number of boys taking military drill has decreased from 10,455 to 9,532. Wireless Whispers. Regular wireless business is daily handled between Long Island and Germany and between Boston and Norway. Massachusetts students of wireless have had good success with experiments in sending and receiving messages with aerials laid on the ground. The United States navy will establish a wireless station on Cape Cod especially equipped to guide vessels along the Atlantic coast in time of fog. Within a few months wireless messages have been sent from a station in this country to Paris. They are sent direct and not relayed from ships at sea. Short Stories Biscuit comes from the Latin words "plis coctus" (twice cooked). Perfect eyebrows are found in no animals other than mankind. Of the 3,000 or more islands comprising the Philippines only about 400 are inhabited. Costa Rica is nominally on a gold basis, but nearly all its gold has either been collected by a few financiers or shipped out of the country. The Italian government has made strict regulations concerning the width of wheels on wagons and carriages. The breadth of its wheel depends on the gross weight of the vehicle. Shot and Shell. German soldiers carry small tin whistles to blow for medical aid should they be wounded. It is claimed that half an hour of the goose step does as much for the muscles of the legs as half a day's route marching. When shells are filled with shrapnel bullets there is poured in about a pint of boiling rain, which keeps all fixed until the discharge. Guns with a bore of twelve inches or more can only fire ninety full charges. They are then considered to be worn out and have to be sent to the foundry to have a new core inserted.

Emperor William possesses 324 decorations. King Constantine of Greece is known as Tine in his family. War is another thing that ought to be taken out of politics. Queen Mary of England, writing in a confession album, records that the quality she most admires in a man is that of modesty. The rule is that a good deal is taught and mighty little learned. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy as a youth was a weakling, but he has grown to be a fairly strong man, although he is the smallest living monarch, his height being five feet three inches in his boots. Of course blowing up the capitol would be an obvious way of ending the war. So far the submarines haven't put the floating national debts out of business. The successful man is one who is on the job when the main chance comes along. Comets will have to develop more than two tails to attract the notice of a world on fire. The railroads of the United States carry more than 1,000,000,000 passengers a year. An all steel caboose, the first of its kind ever built, has been put into use by the Pennsylvania railroad. China has almost 6,000 miles of railroads open to traffic and more than 2,000 miles under construction. limb up in the world, remain at the bottom visitor isn't running.
