THAT HUMILIATING BLUNDER. It is not that the Afro-Americans of Cleveland did not care to assist in tendering cordial welcome to the ex-soldiers and friends who attended the G. A. R. encampment a few weeks ago, but that they were unsuprisingly opposed to the action of the encampment executive committee in appointing a "Jim Crow" committee to look after the Afro-American soldiers and their friends. The citizens' executive committee was empowered to care for ALL soldiers and friends inciscriminately. They had not the authority or license to appoint a special committee of Irish, German, Afro-American or any other class of local citizens for any purpose whatever. They had no authority to draw class or color lines, or to make any such distinction in their preparations for the encampment. They may claim that "there was absolutely no thought of drawing a color line when the committee of colored citizens was appointed." But, contrary to the common sentiment of the people and the very fitness of things, they did that very thing and no amount of caviling can destroy the fact. It is now very clear that though the encampment committee may have been both aggressive and able they certainly betrayed a lack of judgment in dispensing some of the duties incumbent upon them. The committee's action should have been so broad, so liberal and just that our people in common with those of the various other classes of the community could have found no ground of complaint. The committee's business and duty was to afford general and complete satisfaction to all concerned and it could have been done. There should have been no ground for friction or complaint. But the committee seemed not to feel that warm and fair-minded concern for all. For, said a member of the encampment executive committee, in a newspaper interview: "If the colored people want to complain, they will have to complain." Thus spoke Secretary Doty, of the committee, if memory serves us correctly. The above statement implies a bold disregard of the wishes and claims of our old soldiers and friends and an unwillingness upon the part of some of the members of that committee to do their duty and to render satisfaction to all parties concerned. In other words, our soldiers were to be subjected to discrimination, and this was the case. Cleveland is eminently one of the greatest cities on the American continent. It is great in a thousand resources. It is great in magnanimity, great in its onward march to grander heights, and it is great in the ennobling Christian sentiment which it inculcates and fosters. It is pre-eminently a place where narrow and "prejudiced-minded" persons should not be placed in conspicuous and important public positions, especially those that bring them into contact with the masses or various classes of citizens of this community.* Especially is this true when it comes to the control and conduct of large affairs like the G. A. R. encampment. The object failure of the "Jim Crow" camp-fire, from a race standpoint, and of the "Jim Crow" committee, reflected anything but credit upon both the citizen's executive committee (white) and the city of Cleveland. Our people of this community repudiate both and are therefore not responsible for the ridiculous failures referred to. They predicted them and were in no wise responsible for the utter failure upon the part of the "Jim Crow" committee to provide proper care and entertainment for the members of the Woman's Relief Corps and old soldiers in attendance upon the encampment. A WHITE MINISTER BELIEVES PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S AS- SASSINATION ORDERED OF GOD. Rev. C. C. Cline, of the Johnson Ave. Christian church, Nashville, seeks to be sensational in his charge that President McKinley was a commercial president, harboring corporations to the detriment of the masses. We live in times of great commercial prosperity and corporations have grown powerful through the force and development of our country's resources. Our greatness and strength have come to the nation through its increasing wealth and industries. The inventive genius of mind has contributed to the spread of commercial enterprise, the result of which has led brainy men to combine and form corporations, thus affording employment to millions of the laboring masses. Corporations in America have contributed in the main to the growth and prosperity of all our home institutions, and though it is claimed that the masses have suffered largely from the hard oppression of corporations, yet it must be admitted that none more than the laboring classes have derived greater advantages to themselves and their families. Our country has felt the touch of their powerful influence and villages, towns and cities have been built as if in a day. Population has grown with the spread and growth of the country and the people everywhere have come to acknowledge the effect and influence of these institutions upon the destiny of the people. President McKinley as a philosopher and statesman recognized the wonderful possibilities of American corporations as directed under wise and generous management and as such he withheld not his influence to whatever might serve as a blessing and a help to the masses. He could ill afford to cast the force of his influence against those tendencies which warrant an actual good to the masses. The masses in their dealings and relations have to depend upon corporations for a livelihood and support, hence it is manifest that they are beneficial to those concerned. As the chief magistrate of the republic, President McKinley was bound to regard and treat corporations in the light of that wisdom dictated by the highest reason. He could not have consistently warred upon them; he could not have denied those advantages offered under the government. It was his duty then to foster every influence tending to the best interest of the people as a whole. Rev. Cline, then, is in serious error when he argues that the assassination of the president was in accordance with the design and will of God. He is guilty of a wicked and woful blunder, to reason in justification of the dastardly and red-handed deed of the murderer. The anarchist deserves no show of sympathy or protection under our government since he means the subversion of all lawful authority and the destruction of human governments. He is opposed to all government, both human and divine, and his crime admits of no excuse or palliation. It cannot appear that divine agency had any part in a death so unprovoked as that of President McKinley, and Rev. Cline is himself none less than an anarchist when he holds that the assassination of the president was a providential design. Our government has been all along too tolerant of traitors and mobs, too lenient toward those who would fling defiance in the teeth of the nation, and it is high time that stringent action be taken to quell violence, suppress mobs and dismiss from our land the last miscreant that would directly or indirectly lift a disloyal hand against the republic. "MAJOR" TAYLOR A WINNER. Defeats This Year's Champion, Kramer, in a One-Mile Heat Race at the Garden. New York City.—"Major" Taylor, America's bicycle champion of last year, who was beaten this season in the N. A. C. point competition by the combination of white professional "bike" riders led by Frank L. Kramer, one evening last week defeated Kramer in two straight mile heats at Madison Square Garden. There was no pace and both times Taylor made the champion "show the way." Kramer had the pole in each heat and Taylor played French tactics on him and dropped in behind. In the first heat Kramer led for eight laps and at a time when Taylor was on the outside and abreast of him he ran off the track to the flat infield. Trying to regain the track he fell. Some thought he might have been crowded off by Taylor, but there was no howl from the crowd on the Madison avenue turn where the fall occurred and Kramer made no protest. In the second heat Kramer made a moderate pace with Taylor for six laps. Then the Afro-American lad made a jump and tried to run away. Kramer went to work for all he was worth and it became a glorious contest. Kramer, after being three lengths behind, succeeded in getting abreast of Taylor, but the "Major" bowed his curly head and would not let the blonde-haired boy get past him. Taylor's staying powers then began to count. He kept his head down and his pace up and won by a length. National Officers Elected. Buffalo, N. Y.—The headwaiters' convention, held here recently, was a success. Following are the names of the newly elected officers: E. W. Harper, Brooklyn, N. Y., vice president; E. C. Holland, Zanesville, O., corresponding secretary; W. C. Keys, Buffalo, treasurer; L. J. Rice, Dayton, O., recording secretary. W. Alonzi Locke, of Cairo, Ill., was re-elected president. Married an Afro-American. Wheeling, W. Va.—When Judge Hughes sentenced Frank Graves (white) to five months in jail and gave him a heavy fine for marrying an Afro-American, the prisoner fell in a dead faint, and was not resuscitated for some time. Later when the man revived the court reduced the sentence to four months. Graves pleaded guilty some weeks ago and has been in jail ever since. Still Another Winner. Sea Isle City, N. J.—Herbert C. Ferris, of the Danish West Indies, competed in a swimming match at Sea Isle City recently, with Albert Monierief (white) for the championship of New Jersey and a purse of $50. The distance was $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles straightaway out the ocean into shore. Mr. Ferris defeated the champion, covering the distance in 32 minutes, the champion making it in 37 minutes, and is now champion of New Jersey.

Displayed in Army Medical Museum at Washington. Famous Criminals Represented by Grewsome Mementoes - Where Gen. Sickles Keeps His Tibia and Fibula. [Special Washington Letter.] HE army medical museum is seldom seen by visiting sight- THE army medical museum is serdom seen by visiting sight-seers. For many years it was located on the third floor of the Old Ford's Theater building, in which President Lincoln was shot. Very few people knew of the existence of the museum. In 1890 it was removed to a new building which is hidden in the foliage of the vast park originally set apart for the Smithsonian institution. All of the interesting and instructive exhibits have been gathered by army surgeons and surgeons general. Near the main entrance there is a gigantic human skull as big as an elephant's, and a dozen bucketfuls of brains would hardly fill the cerebral cavity. The aspect is rather startling though it is only a model on a large scale in papier mache. The museum has thousands of real skulls, many of which are those of soldiers killed during the war between the states. Agents were sent out from Washington to collect them on the battle fields—the object being to illustrate the effects of gunshot wounds. One curiosity of this sort is a forearm and hand, shot off below the elbow, which the owner went back and recovered from the scene of conflict several months later. Even more interesting is a steel breast plate worn by a confederate officer at Gettysburg. It is pierced by two bullets, one of which killed him. In an out-of-the-way corner of the museum is the brain of Guiteau, the assassin, preserved in a glass jar filled with alcohol. In another receptacle is some of the arsenic that was in a bouquet which the murderer's sister took to him on the day before his execution. The attention of the guards was attracted by a white powder sprinkled upon the flowers, and they took them away before Guiteau could swallow any of the poison. John Wilkes Booth is likewise represented by grewsome memories. A piece of his spinal column is preserved, showing the injury it received from the fatal bullet. There is also a fragment of the wounded spinal cord in a bottle of alcohol. Another bottle holds six inches of the rope with which Capt. Henry Wirz was hanged on account of his flendish cruelty to union soldiers imprisoned at Andersonville. He murdered several of them. One of the most interesting relics is a square piece of tanned skin from the chest of a soldier. On it are tattooed a grouping of flags and a dagger. Close beneath the pictured dagger is a triangular hole made by a real dagger thrust into the victim's heart by an angry Mexican. Near by is a human skull with the left temple transfixed by an Indian arrow head. This has a strange history. On September 14, 1870, a stage was attacked by Comanches near Bellos river, Tex. There were two passengers; one was killed and the other escaped. Of the guard of three soldiers one was killed, another got away unhurt, and the third was wounded. The last, though wounded in the head, arm, leg and breast, made his way on foot 160 miles across the plains to Fort Conchas. There the poor fellow died, and the post-mortem examination showed that an arrow-head had pierced the left temporal bone, entering the brain. That it should not have killed him instantly was astonishing. The cranium was sent to the museum. Some of the accidents which happen to people's skulls are very remarkable. One of these on exhibition is a COFFIN ENTWINED IN ROOTS. complete wreck, the whole top of it being smashed to pieces as the result of an encounter between two negroes who fell to butting each other. One of them was young while the other was old. The old man's head was crushed in, killing him, the cranium being much thinner in old age than in youth, the bone wasting gradually, like the rest of the body. The same thing is true of all the bones. There are some Peruvian skulls in the museum obtained from ancient mummies, which show signs of trepanning during life and of subsequent recovery. These are of extraordinary interest, because it is thus known that a race which spread all over Europe in the prehistoric age of polished stone practiced such trepanning extensively. An object of historic importance is the fourth vertebra of the British general, Braddock. Eight vertebra, belonging to an unknown individual, are also shown strung on a tree root which grew through them, following the canal formerly occupied by the spinal cord. This odd freak recalls the experience of a gentleman who planted a young apple tree at the foot of his grandmother's grave. Years afterward, when the tree had got too old for bearing, he dug up the tree the roots of which were found to be wrapped closely about what remained of the old lady's coffin. Thus he was not able to escape the conviction that, while consuming the apples, he had in reality been eating his aged and respected relative. On a black stand, marked No. 1335, is a strong white bone shattered in the middle. The inscription reads: "The right tibia sad fibula, comminuted by a round shell. Maj. Gen. D. E. S., U. S. volunteers, Gettysburg, July 2. Amputated on the field." The former owner, Gen. Sickles, contributed this specimen to the museum, and occa- sionally he comes to look at it. Happily in future wars gunshot wounds will be far less fatal than hitherto. Thanks to the discovery of antiseptic methods, which prevent hostile bacteria from finding a lodgment in wounds and propagating their kind in them, blood poisoning and other complaints which killed thousands during the civil war can be effectually prevented. One of the strangest curiosities shown is the lung of a colored man preserved in a jar of alcohol. It is as black as the blackest coal. The former owner dwelt near Richmond, Va., in a log hut which was not well ventilated Burning pine wood to keep himself warm, he breathed the smoke for years. It is found that the substance which has blackened the lung is pure carbon. Another lung, likewise kept in a bottle, is black with iron rust. It once A man with a cane looks at a painting in a gallery. GEN. SICKLES IN MUSEUM. (Occasionally He Likes to Look at His Tibia and Fibula.) belonged to a nail maker. This is particularly a trade disease. Workers in steel and iron are generally apt to be inflicted with it. However, these are only a few of the odd things on exhibition at this museum. There is a man's breast bone that has a large gap in the middle of it. One could feel his heart beat by touching his chest, nothing covering that vital organ but a thin wall of flesh. On this account he wore a protector of black leather. He died, but not for that reason. A skull with a few vertebras attached to it is from the catacombs of Rome. The remarkable point about it is that they once belonged to an individual whose neck was broken and who recovered from the injury. Not the most attractive of the objects displayed are models representing monstrous births, such as those from which the ancients got their notions originally for their figures of demons and other malevolent spirits. By plunging an egg of a chicken or other fowl into cold water for a brief period during the process of incubation monstrous chicks with double heads and other deformities may be artificially produced, the integrity of the developing germ being disturbed. It is believed that accidents of a similar nature occurring without design in other animals produce such freaks as commonly find their way into dime museums. The first use of wax models to represent parts of the human body in disease is attributed to a Sicilian priest named Zambo, who lived in the latter part of the seventeenth century. He had been accustomed to making such counterfeit presentments of diseased or deformed hands and feet, to be used as votive offerings at the shrines, of saints, in behalf of the persons afflicted, who hoped for cure by supernatural agency. The fame of these works of art induced a surgeon of repute to go to the priest and employ him for the purpose of reproducing some pathological examples. Hence the original collection of this kind. One long case is filled with skeletons, suspended, and, inasmuch as there are more than three score of them, they look as if they were marching single file in a funeral or funereal procession. These skeletons were furnished by numerous races, but as the bony structure betrays no essential difference to untrained eyes, they are identified by labels. There are also in the museum many odd things in the way of bugs, snakes and other vermin which are used in medicine making. For example, here one learns that dropsy can be cured by the use of an antihydropin made of dried and powdered cockroaches. But we will visit the bug house and chat about it some other time. SMITH D. FRY. RARE STAMP OF CIVIL WAR. Chicago Man Possesses a Valuable One That Is of Interest to All Philatelists. While there are undoubtedly hundreds of specimens of rare stamps in the possession of Chicago philatelists, Robert Moeller, of 400 Austin avenue, thinks he has in his possession one of the rarest of all, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr. Moeller's curiosity is a United States stamp of the issue of 1862 and its especial value consists in the fact that it went through the war of the rebellion. The post office facilities were not always of the best with the armies in the field at that time, as many a Chicago man and woman can very clearly recall. When letters were mailed from the front in those times it often happened that the only canceling apparatus at hand for the stamp was a pen and ink. That was the way the stamp in Mr. Moeller's possession was canceled. Across its face is written "T. A. P., 23 Dec., 1863." The letters stand for "The Army of the Potomac." Mr. Moeller thinks that his stamp is very valuable, and in view of the prices that have prevailed for certain stamps in late years it probably is. Some of the English one and two cent stamps are now selling for as much as $100 and $200 apiece, and American stamps used by the army in Porto Rico and Cuba during the recent Spanish war are being sold at 25 cents each. Spiders That Spin Silk. In Rhodesia there have been discovered spiders which are silk spinners and, like Dr. Johnson's Scotchman, when caught young may be made something of. These little creatures are now to be made to spin silk in match-boxes and the silk will be carried to manufacturing centers, where it will be fashioned into ladies' dresses and gentlemen's ties and umbrellas. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. The people of the south think that is soon as they can have faster steamers and more of them they can keep all their cotton mills working full time making cloth for export. In the 18 years of its existence the Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to the grand army, has grown from 50 to 143,000 members, and disbursed $2,500,000 in aid to veterans and their families. In the time of Pliny silk was supposed to be a vegetable product and his "Natural History" contains a long story of the way in which it was picked from the trees in the East Indies and spun and woven into fabrics. Arioch, "the Lion King" of Assyria, was so called not only on account of his military achievements, but because his shock of curly hair and grizzled beard gave him something of the appearance of the king of beasts. The first spelling-book printed in this country was entitled "The American Spelling-Book," by Noah Webster. It was issued in 1783, and for considerably more than half a century was the standard work used in all American schools. The German railroads are slowly adopting modern ideas. Quite an innovation was inaugurated the other day, when the railroad authorities announced that excursion tickets to London would be good for 45 days, via the Hook of Holland or Antwerp. The "Alexandrian Era" is by some authorities begun with the death and by others with the birth of Alexander the Great. For a long time after the death of Alexander this era was in common use in Egypt and many of the countries which had been under his rule. It began November 12, 324 B. C. Birds are made to take their own pictures by the ingenious apparatus of O. G. Pike, an English photographer. A bait of fat is placed on an electrical wire which is so connected with a camera that, when the bait is removed, the camera shutter is released, giving an instantaneous exposure of the sensitive plate. DURING LUCID INTERVALS. Humorous Philosophy from the Editor of the Prison Paper, "Star of Hope." At county fairs, as in life, the side shows cost the most. No man should complain if measured with his own yardstick. One dressy woman in a block will run a dozen innocent men in debt. It's always surprising how much deeper a hole is after one gets into it. Men always speak of their better halves, simply because they "half" to People who have nothing to do lead a dog's life hunting entertainment. The man who is able to keep his mouth shut has a knack of appearing wise. Zeal and duty are now slow, but curiosity gets there before either of them. There are more things in some newspapers than heaven and earth can boast of. We are our own architects; ideas are the bricks and preseverance is the mortar. There are three ways of getting out of a scrape—push out, back out and keep out. The full meaning of executive ability is the faculty of getting some one to do your work. This checkered career, we call life, is full of mystery, measles and more or less malaria. It's the man without much mind who always "has a mind to do" something and never does it. We may not be able to read a Chinese laundry sign, but we know it is nothing but marks of irony. "All things come to him who waits," except political "pie;" a fellow has to go after that, and sometimes "tip" the waiter. Some people wear spectacles because they are almost blind; others to prevent themselves from becoming blind, others just for a blind. Some men, if thy had a chance, would spend a fortune every week, while others would almost starve if they had all the gold on earth in their possession. Old age brings experience, and some kinds of experience brings old age. Guess many of us in durance vile can testify to the truthfulness of the statement. One of our exchanges relates that when a farmer's prodigal son recently came home "busted" and hungry, all the old man's fat calves jumped a fence and fled from his ranch. We suppose, in that event, the lad had to take up with pancakes and sausage. Wanted Help. "The experiment of taking men from the interior states for service in the navy has, in the main, been a successful one," said the naval officer who is on leave of duty, "although it is exasperating work breaking them in. Many of them see salt water for the first time when they enter the service, and their greenness concerning everything pertaining to their duties makes them the butt of all the others, and although we try to protect them all we can, the old men often take advantage of their ignorance to amuse themselves at the expense of the new men. "Not long ago I was stationed on a receiving ship. One/day during my watch one of the new men came shuffling up, and, without going through the formality of saluting, blurted out: "I can't do it alone, mister!" "Can't do what?" I asked, taking in the situation. "Why, one of the chaps ordered me to weigh the anchor, an' I can't lift it alone! Durn it all, I don't even know where the scales are!"—Detroit Free Press.

Krebs has invented and will shortly bring out an extra light motor weighing hardly ten pounds, intended specially for aerial navigation. A Brunswick official named Nehrkoru has presented to the zoological department of the University of Berlin a collection of birds' eggs and nests—more than 4,000 varieties. A public automobile service has been inaugurated between two towns in the neighborhood of Vienna, Payerbach and Reichenau. The electric system is used, and the vehicles are of the large omnibus pattern, very comfortably arranged, and make good time. The eggs of a blue-bottle fly, if placed in the sun, will hatch in two or three hours. Linnaeus declares that the larvae of three blue-bottle flies will devour the carcass of a horse as quickly as would a lion, so rapidly do these insects increase, and so voracious do they become. Dr. Bizarro of Gorz has published a pamphlet in which he tries to prove that the Adriatic has for more than a thousand years been rising and encroaching on its shores. The lower parts of Trieste are experiencing trouble already, and in course of time Venice will be buried in the mud of the lagoon. The new Italian submarine vessel "Delfino" has proved very satisfactory. It is provided with an instrument which permits a submarine vessel navigating below the surface to have a view of the whole horizon while it is under water. It is called a cleptoscope, and was invented by two Italian engineers. A new product prepared from the cocoanut, and known as "vegetaline," is being manufactured by a Marseilles firm. The product is a kind of butter, and is stated to be particularly adapted for bakers and confectioners. It is much cheaper than butter, and is stated to be better adapted for pastry, and more especially biscuits. THE ABANDONED FARMS. New England Farmhouses That Have Become Summer Cottages and Residences. The evolution of the abandoned farms into something better and more profitable than they ever were before has become a noticeable feature in the rural sections of New England. The Boston Transcript calls attention to the change in Berkshire county, Mass., where abandoned farms a few years ago were so numerous that it was feared the western part of the state in some sections would soon be depopulated. In place of that "there has been a record-breaking period of construction of street railways. The erection of big and modern hotels has been noteworthy. A large number of new industries of a minor importance have been inaugurated. In many cases the former abandoned farms have become summer residences for those who have plenty of money to spend and who are anxious to spend it. The advent of the summer boarder has caused the desert of the last decade to bloom as a rose garden. The abandoned farm house has now become a summer cottage, whose picturesqueness delights the trained eye of an artist." All this, says the Chicago Tribune, is but the natural outcome of the movements of social summer life. Originally the season lasted only from June until September and the seashore was the favorite resort. Gradually the rush for investments became so great that nearly all available sites on the New England shore from Stonington to Eastport have been taken up, as well as the islands near shore. Those that are left are held at such high figures that only millionaires can purchase and improve them. Little by little the summer cottages have been pushed farther inland, and as the season has now been extended from September, when the seaside resorts clos, to Thanksgiving time, and the social locality changed from the shore to the hills, there has been a steadily increasing demand for these "abandoned farms" as autumn residences and summer residences alike. Not a few of them also have been bought for golf links and the old farm houses turned into clubhouses. Thus what was at one time a serious problem has been most happily solved, and those who have been lucky enough, after moving away to the cities or elsewhere, to hold on to their land will make handsome profits. The wornout old farm has more than once proved to be a bonanza. The immense number of bananas which have been sent into this country during recent years have been the means of introducing several different new kinds of flies, spiders and beetles, which have been inadvertently packed with them. The most formidable creature that comes over in banana cases is a new kind of rat. It is smaller than the ordinary sort, quite black in color, with round ears, and a head shaped somewhat like that of a bat. The little animal has a somewhat attractive appearance, and, in the early days of the banana trade, the salesmen were inclined to be kind to one of these rats if it was caught, and make a pet of it. Japan is certainly in earnest in demanding admission for her people to Australia. Britain, on the other hand, isn't in the least degree in earnest about facilitating the exclusion of the brown man who is rising in the east. Being safe herself from the curse of inferior peoples in her midst to undersell her artisans and mongrelize her race and lower her standard of civilization. Britain cares very little, or understands very little, what happens or may happen to Australia in these respects.—Sydney Bulletin. To Utilize St. Lawrence Rapids. Transmission of electric energy at Niagara Falls, a distance of 23 miles, has induced a company of English capitalists to engage in a plan to utilize the rapids of the St. Lawrence for electric power, and apply it over a distance of 90 miles. The extensive water power at Mysore, India, generates an electric current that operates gold fields 100 miles distant. Montreal and Ottawa are especially to be supplied by the Canadian plant.—N. Y.

She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she tells you when you will have, and his name, his design, his maintenance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult a lawyer. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

CURIOSITY and a love of travel combined caused me to take an combined caused me to take an extensive trip through the agricultural sections of Western Canada during the past summer, and while there I was given the best of opportunities of studying and judging for myself of the conditions that exist in that extensive section of our continent. After I had traveled over a few million acres of Western Canada, and watched and studied what at first seemed to me an extravagant waste of land on the part of the farmers, I became better acquainted with conditions and the very good reasons for this seeming wastage. I had been used to the farming operations of the more thickly populated States, where to make farming pay it was necessary to cultivate practically every foot of ground; where it was the rule rather than the exception to go to the length of blasting out, if necessary, heavily rooted trees or large bowlers; where much of the farm land was secured by clearing it of timber and stones, which had been accomplished only after years of toil and privation on the part of the first settlers. There traveled with me over these millions of acres of Canadian soil a gentleman who had been reared upon just this sort of a farm in Michigan, and, as he expressed it, "land was so scarce and so valuable because of its scarcity that we had to cultivate even the corners of the rail fences." But in my journey through the agricultural section of Western Canada, ranging from Winnipeg on the east to the Rocky Mountains on the west, and from the international boundary on the south to the Saskatchewan river and beyond on the north, I saw nothing that savored of our method of "fence corner farming," and in time I learned the reason for the little uncultivated tracts. Time, rather than land, is the valuable commodity in Western Canada. In a country where the soil is sufficiently ```markdown ``` "The Western Canada Farmer Cultivates His Land Upon Wholesale Methods." fertile to produce thirty and forty bushels of wheat to the acre from less than a bushel of seed; where the government gives everyone desiring it a free homestead of 160 acres of this land, and where more may be bought at from $3 to $5 per acre; where one year's crop will much more than pay for the land upon which it is grown, it is a wicked waste of time to cultivate the "fence corners." Before I had acquired this information I was on one farm where a roadway cut off a small corner of land from the remainder of a field of wheat. There was, I should say, nearly an acre in this little plat of neglected ground, and I asked the owner of the farm why it had not been put under cultivation. "To undertake to plow that little three-cornered strip of land would take far more time than the land is worth, giving both the present market value. To add it to the remainder of the field would necessitate a longer way around from the main road to the house. Lying just across the road there is 160 acres of as good land as this upon which I have this year grown more than 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, and I can buy that land of the railroad for $4 an acre. It would take as much time to plow that small piece, in its present shape, as it would to plow two acres of the land across the road, and so would be what we in this country consider a waste of valuable time." Straight furrows and long ones is the plowing rule in Western Canada, and the gang plow is the favorite method of turning the soil. The Western Canada farmer, I found, cultivates his land upon wholesale methods. No matter where he may come from, no matter what the methods in vogue in his native place may move been, the farmer in Canada soon learns that it is wholesale methods that pay best there, and for this reason it is Western Canada that is the home of every improved agricultural machine that tends to the speedy handling of great harvests or the production of them. These machines are not always the product of Western Canadian inventors, but the Western Canadian farmers are among the heaviest buyers of this class of agricultural machinery in the world. The Canadian farmer never becomes land poor as does the farmer in the States. When he buys land he knows that it will bring him adequate returns upon his investment, and that his government will not put a burden of taxes upon it. As a sample of what is possible with the progressive farmers in Western Canada let me cite the case of one living near White Plains, in Manitoba, a Mr. Winslow by name. During the past season this one man had 2,700 acres of land planted in wheat, and harvested 67,500 bushels. He makes farming on these fertile lands immensely profitable by going about it in a wholesale way. Do not, however, imagine that it is only the wholesale methods that pay well in Western Canada. I saw men who owned only the 160 acres of land the government had given them as a homestead who claimed to be making better livings for themselves and their families and saving more money than they had ever been able to do in the States on the same amount of land. Practically every one of these comparatively small farmers whom I met assured me that it was their ambition to purchase more land as rapidly as they could accumulate the means with which to buy. They fully realized that they could not get too much of what they knew was a good thing. There is a vast amount of difference in buying productive land at $3 to $5 an acre and at $30 to $40 an acre. The straight furrows and the long ones are possible in Western Canada, where, as I know from my own investigations made during the past summer, farming pays and pays well. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

A Changed Career By JULIA TRUITT BISHOP (Copyright, 1901, by Authors Syndicate.) The milkman had just driven away from the gate. The rattle of his wheels was still audible; and the eldest of the three, the one with the apron and the bunch of keys, faced the others with a countenance that was still pale from the conflict. "To think of his impudence!" she cried. "Did I ever imagine that a milkman would dare to sit in his wagon and shout at us—absolutely shout—and ask if we were ever going to pay that bill?" "Oh, it was awful!" moaned the girl with her elbows on the table and the pen in her clasped hands. "But still, you know," said the curly-haired girl, with an air of conviction, "we really do owe him the money—and maybe he doesn't like to wait. You never can tell what milkmen think on those subjects. What did you tell him, Marian?" "I told him we expected to have the money in a few days," said Marian, of the apron and keys. "And so we do, if—if any of Madge's stories sell." A general groan went around the group, and Madge sat with a frown on her brow, biting the end of the pen-staff. "And surely some of them must sell!" cried she of the curly locks, returning to her sewing. "They can't all miss!" "And suppose they sell as 'The Derelict' did?" said Madge, in her most pessimistic tones. "That was accepted more than a year ago, you remember, to be paid for on publication—and it hasn't been published yet." "I hate these old magazines that don't pay for a story till the author is dead from starvation," grumbled Kate, threading her needle with a jerk. "They'd feel nice if they had to bring out that story some day, 'By the Late Margaret Bertram'—but then just as likely as not they'd publish a lot of praise of 'the promising young author, whose career was cut short in the very beginning,' and so on. But I'd rather have enough money to pay the milkman than to have columns of post-mortem praise." "But, oh, Madge, that last story was so good!" cried Marian, the hopeful. "Somehow, I feel almost sure it will be accepted." "I know it was a good story," replied Madge, half musing. "I felt as though my very life were going into that story. It seemed almost to write itself. There was strength in it, and courage, and inspiration. And yet—I think it will come back." And even while the others protested came the postman's whistle, and there were four large envelopes for Miss Margaret Bertram, enclosing four rejected manuscripts; and among them was the story which had written itself. The three shrinking girls sat and looked at one another, and seemed to hear again the loud taunts of the milkman, and the landlord's rude comments on tenants who allowed their rent to fall into arrears. They had all grown pale with disappointment and with fear of the future; and the young writer arose and tossed her rejected stories into a drawer and shut them up with a bitter laugh. "I wonder whatever made me think I could write?" she said. "It was all a mistake. I have no talent. I am a mere scribbler. I have been taking myself too seriously. Don't look so woe-begone, Marian. And go on with your work, both of you. I am going to write something after my kind." And that evening she read them a new story; a story at which Kate laughed in a half frightened way, and of which Marian said candidly: "It doesn't sound like you, Madge. Of course it's bright and funny, and all that—but your last story was beautiful!" "And didn't sell," said Madge. "What is the use of writing beautiful things? I have a drawer full of them, and every one of them has traveled all over the country. Now I'll try to amuse the public instead." And less than three weeks afterwards came the reply, notifying Miss Bertram that the story was accepted, inclosing a check for $50 and inviting further contributions. Fifty dollars! Oh, impossible! It must be five, or, at the most, fifteen. But no—the three heads bent over the check, and there it was, too plain to be mistaken. And then the three sisters embraced one another and cried and laughed, and did more absurd things than they had ever done since the struggle for a living had begun with them; and Kate ran around the room, waving the slip of paper as though it were a banner. But after the first gush of gladness was over the pale young author sat down and looked at them wistfully. "It is so discouraging," she said, "to think that all this money has been paid for the lightest and most inconsequential thing I ever wrote." "It would be much more discouraging if it hadn't been paid at all," said Kate; and presently the author was dancing gayly around the room. "Hurrah for the reign of the frivolous!" she cried. "The die is cast. I will never be serious again." And so it came to pass that when the milkman drove up to make sarcastic remarks to them-ladies-as-they-call-themselves-what-don't-pay-their-bills, he found his bill paid and himself dismissed with a celerity that gave him much room for painful thought; and the landlord's little-matter-of-rent was settled so graciously that he voluntarily put a new lock on the back door and mended the front steps. There was really no limit to the wonders worked by that check. It smoothed away more asperities and restored good-humored smiles to more frowning faces than any similar amount of money was ever able to do before. And it was made so easily, and it would be so easy to make more! Then for some bewildering months Madge found herself going irresistibly along with the current. She wrote in the new style with a fatal facility, and her work found a market so readily that there was no time for thought. There were no longer any small irritating debts to vex the souls of the young gentlewomen, and all three of them were able to have wraps as the cold weather came on. How long they had gone without! and had pretended with airy laughter that they found the weather really oppressive when they were half frozen. Tradesmen who had been rude became respectful—such a promoter of courtesy is the reputation of being in easy circumstances. And Madge had letters from this and that magazine, asking for her picture and a sketch of her life. Critics commented on the amusing character of her work, and even found in it a wonderful depth of philosophy and a surprising knowledge of human nature. She was invited to become a member of literary societies and press clubs. Young editors of new-fledged magazines besought her to furnish articles for the opening numbers—something bright and catchy—something in the style of "Ma' Jane's Quiltin'," or "The Ghost Jim Saw." "Oh, how my ambitions have all been wrecked!" she cried, piteously, one day. "I know I am capable of better work than this. I feel ashamed of all this notoriety. I have degenerated into a mere scribbler of comic sketches—a kind of clown, whose business it is to grin and prance and make funny speeches, to keep the people on the benches amused." "Still, we paid the milkman," said Kate, succinctly, looking up from her work. "And after awhile you will be able to go on with your real work," added Marian, hopefully. "I wonder if I ever can?" she mused, wistfully. "I wonder if the world will let me do it? Somehow, I am afraid they will refuse to let me wash off the paint and be my real self." "I do believe Madge is growing morbid," Kate announced, gayly. "She isn't 'thankful for her mercies,' as Aunt Patsy used to say. She forgets how she used to write beautiful stories that went down to the very heart of things, while the irate milkman camped on the front steps and the grocer charged us three prices on his books for his meanest little old potatoes. If she wants to keep happy, let her keep those people in mind, and go on writing pot-boilers. It is better to be merely 'funny' than not to be at all." And so they all laughed and two And so they all laughed and two of them did not realize that there was a kind of heart-hunger about her for something she had missed. One evening she was tempted out to some social function at the house of a friend and there she met a certain great editor. For one awful moment she wondered if he had ever heard of her—if he knew that she was living. It appeared presently that he had taken cognizance of her existence some time before, and had followed her career with interest; that he had even, on his own confession, been somewhat anxious to meet her. "Can you call it a career?" she asked, with a touch of bitterness in her voice. "I have drifted into it almost unconsciously—but it is not what I once thought my lifework would be." "Since you have been so frank," said the great man, unbending, "I will admit that I have thought you carable of a higher class of work." Madge lifted a pale face and looked at him. He was the editor who had sent back the beautiful story that wrote itself. "What would you do," she asked, with a thrill in her young voice, "if you were poor, and could not wait; if there were others depending on you—if anxieties were crushing your very soul—?" He had caught the look that flashed over her face. "Well," he said, carefully, "there are higher duties, perhaps, than merely writing what one likes to write. Perhaps we are too quick to judge what is our lifework. If we only knew, it may be that our lifework is keeping the pot boiling, and paying debts, and taking care of those dependent on us. It seems a pity that—that we cannot all work out our dreams. You see, having once established a reputation of this kind, one becomes its slave instead of its master. I regret that I did not have the opportunity to examine some of your serious work before you started out on this line. There might have been great power in it. I judge that you would have written with strength—and no doubt with wonderful pathos"—for he had seen the glance she turned on him. She read it over again that night after she went home—the story that he had returned—the story that wrote itself. Her pen was going until long after the morning star had risen, and the story which she sent him that day, and which he published soon after, was pronounced by competent judges to be far more amusing than anything else she had written. Kate shrieked with laughter over it—the editor in that story was so droll, and the country girl with her inconsequent dreams of greatness and her absurd little ambitions—was there ever anything so amusing? But Marian read the story in silence and looked up at Madge with a little wistful anxiety. "Madge, are you giving up the old dreams?" she asked. "Yes," was the gay reply—or was her voice altogether gay?—and what new tone was thrilling through it? "I have discovered at last where my genius lies. I have the most undoubted talent for pot-boiling, and from this time on there will be peace between us and the tribe of milkmen, and we will have winter wraps and cool things for summer, and the larder will be always full. What are beautiful stories that write themselves, compared with that?" And because Marian was looking at her, not understanding, she sung a snatch of some merry little song as she folded the manuscript and put it into its envelope. She had accepted her life as it was.

A few weeks ago there appeared some alluring advertisements which were especially attractive to those Parisians who love excitement and who had their appetite for such things tickled by the races of the Rue Pergolese, writes the Paris correspondent of the Baltimore American. The attraction this time was a woman, Donna Tancreda, who, made up to resemble a statue, was to await, motionless in the arena, the assault of the bull, and to conquer it by her immobility. At the last moment this performance, which was to have taken place at Enghion, was forbidden. It did, however, take place in Roubaix. Here is an account of what happened: At a signal given from the president, the doors of the arena opened, and a magnificent carriage appeared, all draped in red velvet fringed with gold. In this carriage sat Senorita Mercedes del Barte, alias Donna Tancreda. "The Queen of Valor" is dressed completely in white. Her face and her hair are powdered. The carriage stops just in front of the presiding party, and she gets out smiling and bowing, and throws off her mantle, talking with the ushers while the attendants arrange in the middle of the arena a pedestal of wood about two feet high. When all is ready the impressario addresses the public, and begs them to observe the most rigorous silence during the performance; this is indispensable. Then Donna Tancreda mounts the pedestal, helped by the matadors. She crosses her arms and faces the door from which the bull will emerge. The woman looks exactly like a marble statue. The arena is empty. All the ushers have disappeared behind the barriers and shelters. The deepest silence reigns in the vast amphitheater. Half a minute passes thus. Then the door opens, and one sees in the shadow the enormous head of the bull Gitano. The spectators hardly breathe. Many of the women cover their eyes with their hands. It is a terrible moment. The bull is a superb animal, with a powerful neck, and long straight horns. He raises his head looks around, and at once bounds upon the white statue. It is with the greatest difficulty that one can restrain a cry of horror, one's sensations are too painful, and a long endurance of such emotion would be unbearable. Donna Tancreda is as rigid as marble. The least movement would be fatal to her. The bull starts back, looks at his strange adversary, and then with a terrible bound rushes up to the pedestal. Anxiety is at its height. But once more the bull stops short without striking. He draws back a few feet, and, taking advantage of this, Donna Tancreda jumps down and rushes behind a screen, while the ushers draw off the bull. The people breathe again. A long sigh escapes from all, and then thunders of applause are heard, and "the Queen of Valor" gets a tremendous ovation. Donna Tancreda, who was born in Paris, has appeared with success at Barcelona, Valencia, Castile, Madrid, Seville, and for the first time in France at Roubaix. Will Paint Mme. Lonbet. Amalia Kussner, now the wife of Capt. Coudert, who has just arrived in Paris from Homburg, was presented the other day to Mme.

Philadelphia French A Philadelphia tells the story of a waiter at a restaurant in the Quaker city who has lately announced that he has begun to study French. "Do you find it necessary here?" asked the customer. "Not here, sir," said the waiter, "but I've been offered a steady job in Paris at one of the hotels if I can learn French." "But Paris is full of French waiters," said the gentleman. "I'm afraid you're being deceived." "Oh, no, sir!" said the man, with much earnestness and absolute simplicity. "It's a perfectly straight thing. The proprietor of the hotel says the waiters he can't understand French as we Philadelphia speak it, and that's what he wants me for, you see."-Youth's Companion. Fair Warning: Time, 11:45 p. m. A sound resembling a distant peal of thunder is heard distinctly overhead. "What was that?" asked the young man as he started up from the parlor sofa in alarm. "That!" echoed the fair pride of the household. "Oh, that was only papa dropping a hint." And hastily gathering the hint unto himself the young man carried it out into the gloomy night.—Chicago Daily News. A Doubtful Compliment. Lady—I always come out so plain in my photographs—plainer even than I am! Photographer (gallantly)—Oh, madam, that is impossible!—Moonshine.
