THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 23. The Fashions of the Day Some Ornaments for the Hair She Still Retains Her Figure An authority tells us the short sleeve for street wraps will last no longer than this season, but surely it is very much the thing this year. And surely Santa Claus this year brought many a maid and matron most welcome additions to their stocks of long gloves. It seems there never were so many calls PRINCESS OF APRICOT-COLORED CASHMERE for these gloves, and about as many white ones asked for as black ones. The dealers are offering a very good long black silk glove, so thick and of such excellent quality it is a strong rival to the more extravagant kid. The silk fits hand and arm so pretitiously, but a not a few is preferred for other than elegant. My such bargains as are tempting one now, many a good thing going for the proverbial song; if we were all musciat, how well dressed we should all be these January days! The wise woman buys now, if she is at all able; against next year's demands; and to add to this year's store, too, for real winter is now before us, for many long days yet we shall have to cling to coats and furs. And speaking of furs. A woman said to me the other day—to be sure it was a hairdresser—let a woman look to her hair dressing and her hat and she need not worry. And there is no little truth in the statement, though few there be of us than seem to profit by knowledge of the fact. This year especially the coiffure is something not to be neglected, and every woman should pay careful attention to this item—climax, rather of dress. While there is no one style which may be said absolutely to rule, yet there are certain things modish, certain others not. It is all very well to assert that a woman should not observe changing fashions in hairdressing, that she should keep to one style that has been found becoming; she should certainly never go in for a fashion that is not becoming to her individual face and form, but she may adopt certain little changes that will bespeak attention to the mode. As for instance, this season for full dress she may add some form of ornament to her coiffure. As a rule the hair ornaments are modest and pretty rather than obtrusive, though over in Paris they have gone in for long egrets and even birds of paradise feathers. A soft low pomp is decorative and becoming, also the single rose, and also the cluster of small blossoms. Sometimes from the half wreath there will arise a side a short ostrich feather, sometimes the wreath will terminate in butterfly bows. The single ostrich tip has been worn by generations of women, and is again in vogue: it is a sort of regal touch to the toilet, suggests court receptions, queen's drawing room—though worn by a very humble little girl at her first dance. The lace and jeweled butterfly has also had a long life, just why we cannot say. Newer modes are upstanding sprays of gold and silver wheatheads intermingled with grasses, and we should sneak of the use of other shimmering No one would believe how hard the queen of England works. No working woman toils more steadily than she. Her object is to preserve her figure, make her waist little, make her figure tall and slim and preserve, generally, the outlines of her body. Svelte is the only word to describe the queen of England's form. It is that of a girl of 19, mature, but not matronly, developed, yet by no means old; full of curves, yet not rounding; tall, classic and ideal, yet not stilted nor laced. And its price is eternal vigilance. The queen of late has been going in for out-of-door fads. She is a believer in outside exercises and her reduction methods take the form of out-of-door work. She rows upon the Thames; she fishes off the banks of Scotland; she drives an automobile in London and she works vigorously in the garden. The queen walks little, yet walking is fine for the figure. Her majesty is a firm believer in it, but being slightly lame, she seldom indulges in it. If you are walking for reduction, or if you are automobiling for that same purpose, be sure to dress for it. Let your In Union There is Strength. reminds us furs are among the real bargains. A gown of soft wool is a fine investment, the sort of dress one has call for the year round; and cashmeres and henriettas make up so satisfactorily. Our model pictures a princess of apricot-colored cashmere, that delicioides pinky fallows now so beloved; the skirt falls in softest folds, and is decidedly long; a boloer of lace fastens in the middle of the front with a big bow of black velvet drawn through a fancy buckle, the sleeves are edged with lace to correspond. If desired, undersleeves may be worn, perhaps it would be well to provide a pair and thus vary the gown as well as make it suitable for a cold day, a day when the bare arms might be rather chilly. The white shirt waist is worn by everybody in the mornings, we simply cannot give up this trim and dainty garment. Neckwear for the wash-waist matches, it too is trim and dainty. Washable stocks of various sorts are popular, and many linen ones have hand-made turn-over collars. It is to be hoped women will adhere to washable neckwear. It is the only really desirable kind. One reason men look neater than women after an all-day downtown is because of their daily fresh linen, because they display no soiled finery. We may affect the laundered collar later on, and again take up the Windsor tie, this year there is appearing a Windsor with embroidered ends. Both plain and plaid effects are in vogue in this tie, the favored width is five inches, the favored colors, white, navy and cardinal. For lingerie tie sleeves are exquisite self-embroidered lingerie stocks. Japanese embroidery on waists and in neckwear promises to be more than ever the rage; likewise chemisettes lose no jot of their popularity, but now preference is given those made of finest batiste rather than all-over embroidery and lace frills. Bits of silk picked up at to-day's bargain counters may be saved for the gray volle spring gown, for flowered silks go so prettily with certain soft tones of gray, and the combination is the extreme of style. Apricot cloth makes a lovely evening wrap, and the trimming to use for such a wrap is heavy lace. Not a few of the wraps are made without sleeves, just big capes, not unlike those we see in oud-fashioned fashion plates. adornments; the year has been marked by spangles and a subdued glitter of gold and silver trimmings in dress and coiffure decorations follow suit. There are silver and gold roses, silver and NEW STYLES OF HAIR ADORNMENT. gold foliage, and occasionally the tips of soft pompom will be touched with gold or silver. One of the prettiest and simplest modes is the use of a twist of tinsel gauze across the front of the coil. Good gauze should be employed, cheap tinsel is a thing to be avoided. It may be in place here to speak of the arrangement of the hair. The low coll and braid are not so much in fashion now as the hair drawn up well on the crown of the head. The pompadour, a nicely modified one, is the thing, although the part is seen quite frequently and when becoming is most attractive. A pompadour drawn up pretty well from the sides and falling over the middle of the forehead is affected, and there may be a little curl just at the middle. We recently noticed a pretty arrangement of roses across the back of a soft knot of hair piled high on the head. costume be warm. It is better to be too warm than too cool. Better to sweat a little than to shiver. And what is it all for? Why, for a little waist; for a tail, slender figure, for the admiration of the public, and for the name of being the youngest 60-year-old woman in the world. Her majesty has no sacs under her eyes. And this is unusual, for they begin to come at 40. Her majesty has no crow's feet around her mouth, and this is rare, for they begin to appear at 30; her majesty has none of those strange horizontal lines running across the forehead, and this is mavelous, for they appear long before one has reached 50; and her majesty has few of those old soft looking bags which are found at the tip of every chin and in the front of every throat—the brisket bags which are always present in middle age. A dozen women of middle age were all looking at their throats the other day. With collar off they were trying to see if the throat was pretty. All were over 40 and all had the brisket. It is the soft bag of flesh which hangs from the tip of the chin to the throat and sometimes down upon the neck. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1906. A. PROF. B. K. SAMPSON One of Our Leading Educators, Differences from Rev. Charles S. Morris. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I beg leave to offer a few comments touching that remarkable letter of Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris, the eminent divine of New York City. It is a high compliment paid Prof. B. T. Washington to be the speaker of the speeches made by President Roosevelt, cent tour at the Florida Baptist college and at Tuskegee. Mr. Washington has attained greatness, but the charge of Dr. Morris must seem to imply that Mr. Washington is a greater man than President Roosevelt, while in fact the president ranks among the greatest of the great men of our time. When President Roosevelt made his first visit to Memphis a noted Afro-American, intending him a welcome on behalf of his race, offered some very pertinent suggestions. The president assured his audience that to him it was a great pleasure to listen to such an address, as well as to cannoty consider it. We used not to care about the nature of his relations to the future as to matters perhaps contemplated by President Roosevelt. Addresses delivered in the south since that time have been lipped by some word that fell from the lips of the Negro orator; but none will believe that the president has used the manuscript of that colored man. If it were true that the president does not prepare his own speeches, Dr. Morris might have ground upon which to base his charge, but the ripe and varied knowledge that the president has with the race and the country absolutely refutes the charge made by the excellent divine of America's great metropolis. Prof. Washington may have asked the president to invite the attention the president of the country to the matters of certain matters in which the two races are concerned, and the executive may have as an act of courtesy asked the opinion of Prof. Washington in writing. But that the president had to depend upon Prof. Washington for thoughts best suited for the occasion is simply unreasonable. At a banquet once given to Senator B. K. Bruce while in Memphis, he casually remarked to a friend who was to speak, "I hope you will remember the matter of which we were speaking." The suggestion was electrical and the speaker before concluding his remarks won a round of applause. Does it follow that the speaker was speaking? Speeches written by Senator Bruce" By no means. The truth of the charge made by Dr. Morris, if sustained at all, must be corroborated by the secretary of one of the two great men in question, and until this is done we are compelled to believe that our honored friend, Dr. Morris, is mistaken. GORDON OUT! Resignation Accepted by Trustees- Take a Stand that rejects a "LEAVE OF ABSENCE." Washington, D. C.—Without a disingesting vote, the trustees of Howard university accepted the resignation of President John Gordon last week Wednesday to take effect in June, 1906, and granted him leave of absence dating from Monday last until the school term expires. Dean Frederick D. Fairfield, of the collegiate department, was designated as acting president, and will assume his new duties at once. Gordon tendered his resignation after a demonstration made against him several weeks ago. He students of the university. At that time he his sister, Amy, as he entered the chapel, and to show their further disrespect the students filed out of the chapel. This outbreak was the culmination of grievances which date back to the time he came to the university from Tabor college Iowa, two years ago. Gordon did not show proper respect for the race Seventeen trustees of the university, including G. O. O. Howard, of New York, attended the meeting and accepted the resignation. Gordon's usefulness in the school was at an end. His salary will continue until the end of the present school year, and he will occupy the president's house at the university until that time. Dean Fairfield, of the university, faculty for many years, and on two occasions has acted as president. Dr. Tennis S. Hamlin, president of the board of trustees and a brother in law of Gordon, stated that he did not know who would be the permanent president of the university, as the subject had not been brought under discussion. There was a silly rumor about the effect that several other professors would offer their resignations if that of Dr. Gordon was accepted. BUXTON WANTS PROTECTION Grand Jury Asks that the Town be Incorporated and Officers Named. Des Moines, Ia.—The grand jury of Mahaska county has petitioned Gov. Cummins to recommend incorporation GAZETTE. of the town of Buxton to the state legislature. In its petition to the governor, Senator W. G. Jones and Representative A. R. N. Hambleton, the Mahaska grand jury says: "They have carefully and thoroughly investigated the conditions existing in and around the town of Buxton for the year 1905, and state that they find and believe the frequency of crime there committed is due to the fact that the town of Buxton is not incorporated and has no city government and that the blame for such condition so existing is not due to certain county officials not doing their duty as is the case, but is due to the fact that there exists no government for such community." A further recommendation is made by the Mahaska grand jury that all villages and towns in the state of over 600 population should be required to incorporate. Daughter Born 116 Days After a Son. Young, Mother, Says. Albany, N. Y.—Mrs. Alfred Wiltse (white) of 81st Central avenue, is the mother of a 10-days-old daughter, which she insists was born 116 days, or less than four months, after she had given birth to a son. Her story is partially vceached for by Dr. Geo. T. Moson, a reputable physician, who attended her. Both parents a few months over 20 years of age. Dr. Moson said tonight that he believed the woman's story. "The child is normal," he said, and I saw the other child, who is apparently not more than four months old showing as yet no sign of a tooth. Mrs. Wiltse told me that no physician attended the other birth, though one was sent for, and her only attendant was a woman with whom she boarded, but whose present address she does not know. Mrs. Wiltse's mother and family touch for the truth of her story and share in the surprise occasioned by the phenomenon." PAUL DUNBAR VERY ILL. Bishop B. W.

C.—Notwithstanding repeated denials, it is well established that Gov. Gen. Luke E. Wright will not return to the Philippines. The administration will interpose no objection to his resignation, but will rather welcome it. Gen. Wright has not, according to members of the Taft party, which recently visited the archipelago, been a great success as governor.

Lee, of the Florida district, neither of whom have an Afro-American deputy, although the Afro-American republicans of New York may only one thousand those of Florida and Georgia make up about 90 per cent. of the republican party in those states.

Will Build Panama Canal. Washington, D. C.—The Panama canal will be built by the labor of West Indian Negroes, chiefly because of the objection of labor unions. Chairman Shouts has abandoned the proposed employment of foreign laborers and will make no contract for the delivery on the isthmus of large numbers of Chinese, Japanese and Italian work. The labor complained a few weeks ago. It has been found that enough strong, husky West Indians voluntarily drift into Panama in search of work to provide all laborers required on the canal. The Civil Rights Law Good Pittsburgh, Pa.—Attorney James J. O'Malley, referee in the case of Thos. Hundley against Edward and Lewis Jifkins, proprietors of the "White House." rendered a decision that the civil rights law gives equal rights to all citizens.

Santo Domingo is in the midst of one of its more or less regular "love feasts." When they are discontinued in all of the South American countries, we may expect Haiti and Santo Domingo to "follow suit." The Cumberland Valley railroad has abandoned "Jim Crow" cars in Maryland on the ground that its lines pass through Maryland from one state to another and therefore the company is not amenable to the Maryland "Jim Crow" car law. Good! The Gazette is indebted to Mrs. Ida Gibbs Hunt, the daughter of Judge M. W. Gibbs, of Arkansas, ex-consul to Tamatave, Madagascar, for a very pretty souvenir card from that far off island. She is the wife of the present United States consul to Tamatave. Many thanks. Gov. Myron T. Herrick's strong advocacy of popular vote primaries in his biennial message to the Ohio legislature, which convened the first of the week was an agreeable surprise to thousands of the best citizens in the state regardless of party affiliations. If there is one thing the press assembly should do, it is to enact such a law as outlined by the governor. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Hon. Cyrus F. Adams, assistant register of the United States treasury, Washington, D. C., for a note on "The Bank of Prosperity" for 365 happy days, beginning January 1, 1906; and to Editor W. H. Stewart, of the Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist, for a similar note, but on "The Bank of Goose Island, Gander Bay Branch." Many thanks, dear friends, for the kind remembrances. We are given to understand that the Washington, D. C., Post, a rabid anti-Negro paper heretofore, has become fair since Jno. R. McLean, formerly of Cincinnati, secured a controlling interest in it. Well, there was certainly room for great improvement along this line. Beriah Wilkins and his heirs, at least in their conduct of the Post, from a race viewpoint were not credits to Ohio. Ex-Congressman Wilkins was a democrat. So is McLean. Negroes love their country, they love their Christ; they may believe in a little too much, and there may be a rather wide margin between their practise and their profession, but who ever saw a Negro atheist?-Bishop Galloway, of Mississippi, in a recent sneech. And there are others, many thousands of them (white), Bishop, who "believe in a little too much" and that show clearly that there is "a rather wide margin between their practice and their profession." In these two things, proportionately, your race makes, an excellent showing, dear bishop, when comparison is made. Think it over carefully and see if we are not right. Senator Foraker of Ohio is said to have presidential aspirations. There's nothing the matter with Foraker.—Mobile (Ala.) Press. Right you are brother Johnson. There is nothing the matter with Ohio's brilliantly able senior United States senator, and he is the race's true and tried friend, too. We know also that there are many thousands of leading republicans throughout the north and south, outside of this state, who will insist upon Senator Foraker's nomination in the next national republican convention, and be successful too. The foundation of this effort will not only be a solid Ohio delegation but others from states both north and south. The far-seeking editor of the Mobile Press has named President Roosevelt's successor. More power to our esteemed friend and confrere. EDITOR WARREN IS RIGHT It is about time that publishers and book agents should understand that books libelling the race are not to be received by Afro-Americans in the face of gross misrepresentation of THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1906. themselves. The world wants light and truth, and we of all races, in the face of the constant effort to depreciate the merits of the Negro, can little afford to patronize publications which do not justly represent us. The evil tendency of detraction among Americans, whether through prejudice or presumption, is the one thing especially that is working widespread and incalculable mischief against Afro-Americans in this country. It is an unfair deal and nothing less than robbery to attempt to despoll the humble assets of the poor struggling to worthy life and better conditions. The thing which is most revolting is, those who malign the race and depreciate whatever of simple worth that has been attained by the better class of our people, know quite well that they have not spoken truthfully. Afraid perhaps of giving the truth, they cater to a pernicious public sentiment in order to find a more ready sale for their books. Such was the motive of Tom Dixon when he published that disgraced volume of falsehoods against the Negro. Possessed of a designing villainy to realize a handsome revenue, he conceived a plan and executed it. Publishers are large concerned in these practices to day, and agents will engage in the canvass of such books that will feed the prejudices and passions of those who favor the restriction of liberty and their manhood rights. So when Francis H. Warren, editor of The Detroit (Mich.) Informer declined to receive from Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co. the new Chambers Encyclopedia he was fully justified in doing so when he discovered in the book so much unreliable data touching the Negro as is contained in that volume. He sensibly realized that facts gleaned from prejudiced newspapers and emanating from southern writers, prejudging the Negro, were not only unfair, but hurtful to the race and damaging to the cause of truth and humanity. We commend the brave stand taken by Mr. Warren. We commend the pure and manly spirit which nerved his soul and prompted him to repudiate a work which with no regard for truth and honor is intended as an imposition upon Negro manhood "As it is," says he, "I do not care to have a book in my library that so grossly misrepresents us as your book does, and if you misrepresent the Negro in your description of him, how am I to know that your other descriptions are any more accurate?" STILL TAMPERING WITH HIS PEOPLE. Stanley Mitchell, the Negro agitator of ex-slave pensions, now figures as editor of the Memphis (Tenn.) Southern Sentiment. He announces that a bill for the pensioning of ex-slaves is being considered by thousands of intelligent American citizens. To gull the ignorant and illiterate of the race he calls on them to send them one dollar for the paper and get general information. But Mitchell knows nothing of ex-slave pensions beyond what has already been considered by the public. Already has this man be beguiled the poor ex-slaves and cheated them out of their quarters. He calls for the names of ex-slaves and that of their ex-master, and thus hits upon a plan now as in other instances to flick the ex-slave out of his money. He talks about his three-mile petition to congress. But what does that amount to and what does Mitchell care, only that he replenishes his own purse at the expense of the ignorant. It is very natural for these unfortunate people to allow themselves to be imposed upon, from the fact that they hopefully desire to realize their heart's fondest prayer. Of course Mitchell, too, may desire the consumption of such a measure allowing pensions to ex-slaves. But Mitchell himself does not believe that such a law will ever be enacted. At least if he has the common sense accredited to him, it has never entered into his mind that the American congress means to make such a proffer to the race who during all these years of freedom have depended upon themselves. This very matter was vigorously considered at the time of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. The measure was defeated then and it is not reasonable to suppose that under present conditions pensions will be granted to those once known as slaves. At the time of emancipation, the Negro had nothing. Today he has his millions, and unwilling minds and hearts of the nation will forever forestall any action looking to such a donation. It is a shame before God and man that this man Mitchell has been so long tolerated in relieving the unsuspecting of their just and hard earned money. Let Mitchell go to work and labor as the freedmen de and quit this fraudulent game which he has so successfully played upon his people. There is a measure before congress in the form of a proposition to enhance the material interest of the Afro-American and any petition of the kind from Mitchell will be piggen-holed. Our people of the south should protest against this unsavory procedure of Stanley Mitchell. They should keep their money in their pockets.

A LONG DEBATE. It Followed the Introduction of a Resolution in New York's Senate Asking Senator Depew to Resign. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 4.—The New York legislature started off with a rush yesterday. Aside from the reading in both houses of the annual message of the governor, the most important developments were the election of Speaker James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston, thus finally closing one of the most sensational speakership campaigns of recent years, and a long debate in the senate over Senator Brackett's resolution requesting the resignation of United States Senator Chaucey M. Depew, on the ground of disclosures in connection with the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which ended in Senator Brackett's withdrawal of the resolution for the time being. The debate on this resolution attracted the most attention. Senators Raines, Malby and Cogshall led the defense of Senator Depew, but joined Senator Brackett in the desire for prompt action upon the resolution. They eulogized the junior senator on the score of many great public services, and urgently pleaded for the immediate defeat of the resolution. Senator Raines described Senator Depew as a sick man and objected to any delay in the matter, declaring that it was brutal to keep such a threat hanging over his head for even a week. Senator Brackett disclaimed any personal feeling against Senator Depew, and declared that his resolution was in no way consequent upon his former opposition to Mr. Depew's rejection as senator. He insisted that he should be a by-sense of public duty, to the end, however, he asked leave to withdraw his resolution. Senator Raines objected to this, but the withdrawal was sustained by a vote of 75 to 19. McCALL IS OUT. The President of the New York Life Insurance Co. Resigns and His Successor Is Elected.

It is uncertain whether Mr. Orr will retain the presidency beyond April 1 next, when Mr. McCall's term would have expired. The new president is a retired merchant of this city, president of the rapid transit commission, a former president of the chamber of commerce and a director in many financial and philanthropic institutions. WAR IN SAN DOMINGO. Rival Factions Battle for Possession of Puerto Plata.

GAINING ON THE FAIR SEX According to This Report Man Will Soon Outnumber the Frau Gaunck-Kuehne is one of the greatest German Sultanists on the modern jenniest movement, and after mature years she has come to the conclusion that the superfluity of women in so many European countries is a fact which in the first place is in no sense an evil, and in the second place is a sign of the present position that women immeasely predominate. Some of her statistics are most interesting. In Luxembourg, for example, in 1890 there were only 999 women, and now only 999. In Australia the proportion has been reduced in the same time from 1.044 to 1.035, in Hungary from 1.015 to 1.012, in New Zealand from 1.009 in Sweden from 1.055 to 1.049, in Germany from 1.049 to 1.032, in England from 1.055 to 1.042. She does not believe that any European country must expeditiously in proportion England has begun to follow the example of France and Germany will certainly follow. England's footsteps. Just Wonderful Vestry, Miss. Jan., 14 (Special)—The case of Mrs. C. W. Pearson, who resides here is a painter interested one more time in a story told her husband, in his own words. He says—"My wife's health was bad for a long time. Lost July she was taken terrible bad with pains. I sent for the doctor, and after making a thorough examination of her, he said undoubtedly the cause of the trouble was a disordered state of the Kidneys. I was told to do her much good, so as I heard about Dodd's Kidney Pills. I got her a just to get to know a trial, and when we finished it, I saw that they were the right medicine and I got two more boxes. When she had taken these she was so much better that she had increased five pounds in weight. I now know quite well, how it owed it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills." EMBARRASSED BRIDEGROOM John Was Nervous, and the Mistakes He Made Were More Than Enough. He was embarrassed, ill at ease; he was calm, self-possessed, relies the Baltimore Sun: "Here were only over," he whispered, excited; "I know I'll do it wrong." "It won't take long, John," she answered, consolingly. "You haven't much to say. The minister was speaking: "Kindly change places with the bride." John attempted to do so, stepped on the toe of her shoe, and raising his arm caught his cuffbutton in her veil. "Do be careful," she implored. "Give her ground," "before all these staring people, too." "Sh-h-h-" The minister began the ceremony. John grew more embarrassed, and tumbled with his hand in his pocket and pulled out his handkerchief and excitedly mopped his brow. The church was quiet save for the voice of the minister. The minister knows any just reason, he was saying, "why these two should not be joined together, let him now speak, or forever." Knew Her Grammar The judge's little daughter, although she had talked several times through the telephone to her father, had never gone through the formalities necessary in calling him up. The first time she tried it, she had seen others do, placed her lips to the transmitter and said: "Hello! I want to talk to papa." "Number, please," said Central.

Generally That Is Not the Trouble. Persons with a susceptibility to malarial influences should beware of coffee, which has a tendency to load up the liver with bile. A lady writes from Denver that she suffered for years from chills and fever which at last she learned were mainly produced by the coffee she drank. "I was also grievously afflicted with headaches and indigestion," she says, "which I became satisfied were likewise largely due to the coffee I drank. Six months ago I quit its use altogether and began to drink Postum Food Coffee, with the gratifying result that my headaches have disappeared, my digestion has been restored and I have not had a recurrence of chills and fever for more than three months. I have no doubt that it was Postum that brought me this relief, for I have used no medicine while this improvement has been going on." (It was really relief from congestion of the liver caused by coffee.) "My daughter has been as great a coffee drinker as I, and for years was amused with terrible sick headaches, which often lasted for a week at a time. She is a brain worker and excessive application together with the headaches began to affect her memory most seriously. She found no help in medicines and the doctor frankly advised her to quit coffee and use Postum. "For more than four months she has not had a headache—her mental faculties have grown more active and vigorous and her memory has been restored. "No more tea, coffee or drugs for us, so long as we can get Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book "The Road to Wellyville" in pkrs.

Sir Roger de Coverier obliged his chaplain to deliver sermons written by famous old divines in lieu of original preachments, and Addison assures us that many clergymen would do well to adopt the plan. But most congregations prefer a minister who speaks his own thoughts, however mediocre they may be. The New Orleans States says that a bishop, commenting on the aversion of congregations to sermon reading, tells this story: A sermon reading clergyman, a friend of mine, called one day on a humble parishioner, a cobbler. He sat mending a pair of boots and reading his Bible at the same time. "What are you doing, Giles?" asked my friend, with a benevolent smile. "Prophysiin," Giles answered. "Prophesying? Nonsense!" "Well," said the cobbler, curtly, "if readin' a sermon is preachin', isn't readin' a prophecy prophesiesin.'?" Low of Contraries "Does your wife belong to any clubs?" "Not one." "How do you keep her home? My wife belongs to half a dozen and goes to them all, though I have forbidden her time and again." "You went to work the wrong way.

ONE WAY TO MAKE LIVING. Shells from the Red Sea Carved In- to Crosses by Bethlehem Workers. The chief industry of Bethlehem of Judea is that of the mother-of-pearl workers, writes Marion Harland, in Lippincott's. The shells are brought from the Red sea, and in the hands of native artisans are polished and carved, the larger into elaborate designs; the smaller are cut up for rosaries and crosses. The work is all done by hand, and the methods are amazingly primitive to a spectator from the home of steam and electric power. But the results are extraordinary. The largest shell we saw was carved in scenes from the birth of Christ, the Agony in the Garden, and the Crucifixion, and had the general effect of delicate frostwork. Under the magnifying glass every detail was seen to be perfect in outline and in finish. It was executed to order for a wealthy American, and was to cost $160. About 150 people make a living by this industry, which is 500 years old. In the shops the workmen sit upon the door, their benches in front of them; the air is full of whitish dust, and the light, admitted by the single window and the open door, so dim that the exquisite tracery of the gourd shells is a mystery; the visitor notes how few, simple and crude are the instruments employed. INCREASE OF INSANITY. Problem Which Confronts the Municipal Authorities of England's Capital London has 26,733 persons on its lists of lunettes. Of these 24,282 are supported by the rates. The county council is at its wits' end trying to devise accommodations for the rapidly increasing number of the city's insane, January 1, 1904, England and Wales, with about 32,000,000 inhabitants, had 117,139 insane persons—an increase of 3,234 over 1903. The ratio of the insane to every 10,000 of the population went up from 34.14 to 34.71 in 12 months. This almost incredible and dangerous increase is far beyond the recorded increase in the kingdom's population. Indeed, the decade 1894-1904 shows that the number of the insane was as 1 to 327 in 1894 and as 1 to 288 in 1904. At this rate of increase the end of England's supremacy in many lines is in sight Luckily, before it is too late, legislation may devise methods of meeting the matter and securing a remedy. Up to date all efforts at a successful explanation have been unavailing. The expense of fitting up quarters for these people has forced London and other places to a serious consideration and investigation of the whole problem and all points connected with. HUMAN THERMOMETERS. First Used in Edinburgh Hospitals Not More than Forty Years Ago. Pretty much every one has had occasion some time or other to handle, or at least see, the modern clinical thermometer used by physicians for finding the temperature of their patients' bodies. It is in its case somewhat smaller than an ordinary stylographic pen, says the New York Globe. The following description of the first clinical thermometers used in the Edinburgh hospitals 40 years ago was recently given by Sir Lander Brunton: "The use of the clinical thermometer had just been introduced into England by the late Prof. Alitken, of Netley, and the clinical wards of the Royal infirmary at Edinburgh, being set apart specially for the instruction of university students, were provided with two of these thermometers. To the best of my knowledge they were the only two in Edinburgh, perhaps in Scotland. One was bent and the other was straight; both were between a foot and 18 inches long, and I used to walk proudly about the ward with them contained in something resembling an ordinary gun case under my arm. But each observation required ten minutes, so that the number it was possible to make during a visit was every limited." ICE-PICK ART IMPLEMENT. Queer Tool That Was Used by Famous Sculptor in His Early Efforts. The career of Mr. Frederick MacMonnies as a sculptor began when, as a boy of five years, scarcely tall enough to reach up to the top of the kitchen table, he modeled little figures in dough. Two years later he discovered a better material for his purpose. At that time a white wax chewing gum was much in fashion among children. Young MacMonnies saved his old pennies until he could buy what he wanted of it, and then he made from it an equestrian statue of George Washington, which is still among the family treasures. When he was ten years old Barnum's circus came to town. He was an enthusiastic admirer of the parade, and when the elephant appeared he became intense. He watched every motion and studied every line of the strange beast. Then he rushed into the house and, working as fast as he could, modeled from memory a clay elephant of which he need not be ashamed to-day. At 13 he carved a likeness of a pet bullroof out of a Belgian paving block, with an ice pick for a chisel.

Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts —Hands Pinned Down—Miraculous Cure by Cucicura. "When my little boy was six months old, he had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at home had to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a hirst one. Matter became so bad that we had regular treatment, the checks, enough to put a finger into. The food he had to be given with a s oon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as wool, and regular treatment, the checks, mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body, was covered with crusts, and by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down; otherwise he would scratch his face, and make an open sore. I think his face must "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that she was to be put under good medical care there. But Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Curticaura. We went to her office, Ountment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had improved it also began to disappear, and with it we was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F. Hoehra, President of the L. L.
