TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 28. THE WEEKLY PRESS JEALOUSY TO BE OVERCOME|MAKES PRETTY TABLE COVER IN DUCH FREES FROM THE FURS TWENTY-NINTH Spring WHILE Indian summer days are beguiling us toward winter, the thrifty manufacturers must begin to get ready for far off spring. Since the demand comes with a great rush about Easter, thousands of hats must be in readiness for it, therefore, directly after the holidays things get very busy in the world of millinery. Those designs which have found favor with the wholesaler are placed in work rooms to be copied and to help inspire new designs. Children's millinery is not so subject to the caprices of fashion as that for grown women. Soft and pretty bonnet shapes are always worn, therefore the manufacturer takes fewer risks in beginning to make them early. It is by little novel touches. Unpleasant Temperament That Is Certain in the End to Destroy Friendship and Love. Jealousy epolls, pleasures and destroys friendships, therefore it is most necessary to overcome a jealous temperament. One frequently hears how to overcome sensitiveness, but how to fight against jealousy is seldom told us. It can manifest itself in numerous ugly ways and it is not an easy thing to fight. Who has not felt its painful prodding? But one must remember that neither friendship nor love can stand jealousy's eternal friction, so the sooner one eliminates it from one's character the more certain one is of keeping both love and friendship. Take what is yours and do not worry over what is given some one else. If there is to be any comfort in social life or in the life of those who must work, every twinge of jealousy must be crushed out. The personal element must be done away with at all times and we must all learn to make ourselves as efficient as possible in our various walks in life. To live for and think of others is always a help; and added to this we must forget ourselves except in our efforts to improve our minds and our lives. UTILIZING ODD BITS OF LACE Beautiful Table Cover May Be Evolved From Scraps That Otherwise Would Be Throw Away. A lovely, if somewhat costly, table cover recently seen in one of the shops suggested one of the numerous ingenious ways now in vogue of employing satisfactorily any scrap of lace or needlework one happens to have in the house. This table cover or tea cloth, about sixty inches square, in cocoa linen, was cut out round the edges into four blunt corners, lived by four vandykes. Between each peak was inserted, point upward, a three-cornered specimen of filet lace, while larger ones, peak downward, were sewn along the base of the blunt corners. A lace insertion framed the center, filled at the corners with a motif of broderle anglaise, crossed with bars and connected with powderings of the open work. Each of the four sides of the frame was tipped with a diamond medallion in filet lace, and round the outside edges of the linen square was a white linen fringe with spaced tassels. Spanish Lace Revived With the return to favor of the many old-time materials, such as broche velvets and golden woven tissues, there is the return to favor of Spanish lace. Many afternoon and evening toilettes, now being designed for the Casino on the Cote d'Azur, are showing graceful trimmings of heavily designed silk Spanish lace. Many Dalmatiques and clerical stoles are composed of the most beautiful lace. These long stoles fall in straight panel fashion down the front and back of the most gracefully draped robes. Colored Handkerchief The latest method of introducing a bright note of color is to be found in the handkerchief of the moment. A little square of lawn, with a border in some bright tint, is tucked into the fastening of the tailormade. Great care is necessary, however, to strike the correct note. The little accessory must match some part of the toilette. If the hat is trimmed with one of the new shaded dahilas in fuchsia tints, the handkerchief will be ornamented with French knots in the two shades. The shades of a green plume would be repeated tone for tone. THE GAZETTE rather than by departures from types with which we are familiar, that the first hats depend upon, to make them salable. Two little bonnets are shown here which cannot fail to please. One is made of a soft plaque of hair braid in light pink. A fine wire frame supports it and it is lined about the brim with Val lace. The edge is finished with side-plaited ruffles of lace. A collar of pink ribbon and a fascinating little bunch of rose buds make up the simple but effective trimming. A bonnet of light blue satin straw is faced with shirred chiffon. It is trimmed with a wide, soft message ribbon placed in a ruffle about the crown and a bunch of light blue forget-me-not ties of ribbon finish it. Monk's Cloth Appliqued With Linen Figures is One of the Best Forms Yet Devised. The woman who is interested in needlework as employment for the long winter evenings will enjoy making a table cover or scarf of monk's cloth appliqued with linen figures. Cut the cloth the size you desire of a very dark green shade and baste in a two-inch hem all around for a square cover—and at each end on a scarf—then cut out fancy figures from natural colored linen, using either flowers simple in design, leaves like the clover and oak, hearts, circles or small triangles. Baste these on the cloth just above the hem and sew them fast by button-holing around with rope floss in a burnt-orange shade. One clever girl made a table scarf, cushion cover and window curtain to correspond for her room at college of monk's cloth appliqued with figures representing books, dumbbells, Indian clubs and various things associated with college life. One advantage of the work is that it is quickly done and when finished is very attractive. NEAT STREET SUIT Plain street suit of plum colored ratine with loose sacque coat and turnover collar of black velvet. The witch's cap is of white ratine to match the white fur. Velvet Suits. The prettiest of the velvet suits are simply built, for this fabric is so rich in itself that it is a pity to break the lovely lines it forms by too much trimming, says the Indianapolis News. Velvet coats are rather loose and are cut in tunic style, to avoid marring seams. Much handsome braid is used on the coats, and the braid trimming, in band motifs and crochet buttons, is repeated on the skirts. Fairy Jewelry. They seem to have no support. They are lacy and supple in effect. Jewels need not be wholly expensive. Some semi-precious nues are lovely set this way. It's the thin dainty silver or platinum setting which does the work.

THE QUESTION OF RACE TRADITION THE QUESTION OF RACE TRADITION Society for Historical Research Hears Subject Discussed. LEARNED OPINION BY LOCKE IN PHILOSOPHIC ADDRESS SAYS THE DESIRE TO PRESERVE THE PAST CONNECTS US TO A RACIAL CONSCIOUSNESS—RACE STANDS BETWEEN TWO HERITAGES. Yonkers, N. Y.—The year-end meeting of the Negro Research society held recently at the residence of the president, Mr. John Edward Bruce, in this city, was made notable by the presence of Alain Le Roy Locke, who is a graduate of Oxford university. He bears the distinction of being the only member of the race to win one of the Rhodes scholarships. Mr. Locke was the principal speaker on this occasion, and a. reception was given in his honor by the society in view of the fact that he is to return to Berlin in January to complete his studies. Mr. Locke's subject was "The Negro and a Race Tradition." He spoke in part as follows: A historical society stands principally as the expression of a practical duty toward a corporate past, and a negro historical society stands there for an avowed duty toward a racial past. The negro has special duties and specific problems with regard to his past; but, however specific and special these duties and problems are, the duties and problems of any people in their acquisition of historical mindedness in the establishment of tradition. Although the American negro faces what all thoughtful observers must admit to be a historical dilemma, he can avoid it if he wishes. He has only to forget or repudiate his past or as much of it as he deems wise and consistent to forget and repudiate. As an american, indeed, he can claim the high but dangerous privilege of taking large liberties with his past both in the direction of adoption and that of repudiation. As an American he can exercise the rights of a mental republican. He can begin anywhere and claim anything. The question is therefore whether or not the negro wishes to have a separate history, apart from the general history of this country, or what justification there is other than the purely sentimental reasons he sometimes gives himself and the wholly justifiable reasons usually given him for having a separate tradition in contrast or addition to the tradition he can acquire and claim as an American, enjoying theoretically at least all of the benefits of free education and democratic institutions. For very different reasons and very diverse hopes, then, the speaker found himself forced to believe in a race history and a race culture. The desire to preserve our past commits us to a racial consciousness and requires of us the development of a sense for corporate interests and destinies. Indeed the tendencies and facts which treaten the solidarity and perpetuity of a distinct negro tradition in this country may prove the ultimate stumbling blocks in the way of our progress. The historical dilemma of the American negro is the painful position of standing between two heritages, one lost, the other not fully acquired; the one something for which we have as yet no definite use and the other something which may not have permanent satisfaction for us. This situation is both the price and the reward of the negro's unique history. Later he may be as anxious to take the advantages of the alternatives as he is at present to escape the disadvantages of this situation. Our intellectual and spiritual problems have a different point of origin from social or political economic issues we face, and they are as likely to have a different solution. History and culture, at all events, are known only as the attributes of nations and races. Any one who surveys at all closely the estate of culture or the field of history will find that it has its fences and proprietary rights, quite as material in their way as the fences and property deeds of any civilized community. They will see that no people has acquired a passport to culture, citizenship and the exchange civilities of civilization until it has cultivated its own land, its own tradition and evolved its own culture. A people that proceeds upon any other assumption is threatened under the present facts at least with the fate of mental parihs. Race is not only the key to history, as Disraeli said; it is the most legitimate and indisputable claim to education and culture. We as negrees need to distinguish sharply between the claim of education and the claim of mental birthright. It may even be that we shall have to choose between them on certain occasions. Certainly we must always bear the distinction in mind. The very accidents of our birth and history make for us a claim upon a civilization and a heritage of ideas which no amount of mental juggery and self-sought mystification can conceal from us as not ours in the same literal sense that it is the hereditary culture and history of Aryan people. This is the crux of the problem from the side of education and culture. Sooner or later he he persists in ignoring this distinction the Afro-American of culture finds he is an anomaly; finds that he is sharing and participating in a culture that is his only by right of acquisition and not by right of inheritance. To be mindful of the distinction does not necessarily make the civilization and culture we propose to claim and share any the less ours, but it does make it ours in a different way. This is the contention that with the proper approach and reservations the frank admission that we participate in an alien culture justifies us in a certain historic and actual pride of acquisition in having made our own what was in the beginning not ours. Further, such an admission should enable us by way of contrast to realize rationally our own position, our own derivations and allegiances, and to help us to build up in addition a tradition worthy of our united loyalties. Instead, therefore, of belittling us the great contrast of Aryan culture should make it more meaningful to be a negro. The negro's attitude toward his past has hitherto been a sentimental and mistaken one. There are grave dangers and difficulties in achieving a new attitude, but a new one must be achieved. We might in time succeed in getting the slave ship into a historical perspective, which would make it a spiritual Mayflower of freedom from the handicaps of a tropical climate, but better than this would be an attitude which would insist upon the full and remotest tradition of the race. As a patriot the American is satisfied to go back as far as the Mayflower, but as a scholar he is forced to go back a little farther. We have then the phenomenon of Anglo-Saxon tradition, Anglo Saxon civilization, Aryan culture! It should be—Indeed it must be—the same with us. The American negro must in time change his attitude toward the past. The stamp of the abolitionist experience and appeal is still upon us. It deserves to be an indelible memory. But the sentimental ties which bind us to the abolitionist period of our history must not be allowed to control our historical attitudes. A generation that has not lived through such a time can never be expected to care for race history in exactly the same way. Already the younger generation is lapsing from that sentimental attitude, and it is well, since the attitude which freed us physically will never free us mentally. It binds us fast to what is, after all, only one period in the race life. It keeps us from the dispassionate, the scholarly, attitude toward history. It chains us to remain in the vicious circle of early American isolation, the hopelessly Quixote whim of a people that wishes to begin history all over again. We cannot afford to let our regard for our immediate past blind us to the remote racial past, a past which stands in need of patient and painstaking scholarship to recover, but even more perhaps in need of a worthier historical attitude to accept it. American thought and scholarship are in process of broadening out in the name of culture, and for the sake of tradition a period of reconstructive scholarship is beginning, a period that will retrieve the necessary damage of the democratic secession. This is being done that the American of culture need not have to pay the high price of expatriation for his culture. Our situation is parallel. Our involuntary transportation is analogous to the colonial Americans' voluntary revolution. We must, like them, go back to claim as tradition and culture all we have broken with as government and authority. There is for us no alternative to turning back toward an African and racial past. But such a course need no more interfere with our entering into the full heritage of a liberal education than race loyalty to Anglo-Saxon civilization interferes with American patriotism. America, standing, as it does, for the common ownership of the utilities of civilization, cannot stand for the amalgamation of cultures. America, at all events, is not sure of her own mental nationality, and behind the traditional uniformities of American life and thought it is significant to find certain latent racial traits and traditions in process of development and assertion. The fear that the acknowledgment of the birth claim to ideas undermines the republican claims to free institutions, the fear that a sense of race history and tradition shuts one out from an impersonal and more inclusive participation in general history culture, can only be indulged by those who misunderstand the trend of American institutions. Indeed, freed from national responsibilities and governmental ambitions, racial pretensions are free in this country to develop without opposition. Certainly America has offered this to other races. Not only have certain Irish ambitions and hopes impossible of realization elsewhere been realized in this country, but their realization, while contributory largely and patriotically to the sum total of American achievement, has reacted upon the whole status and welfare of that race in its native home. The Jewish communism in this country further has contributed to its racial life the world over and stands today as the champion of some of its most significant reform movements. America affords the unique possibility of a race life and propaganda existing without contradicting national and patriotic loyalties and responsibilities. The historical dilemma of the American negro is a great culture problem. It is also a great American problem. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 5, 1883, SINCE. FRIUARY 10, 1912. Its solution will prove or disprove whether or not culture by adoption is possible and whether a race can exist within a nation without disrupting the nation or contradicting itself. If we accept the burden of being an experiment in this land of experiment it is because we have additional reasons. These additional reasons are the desire to solve our own problems, to convert invidious distinctions into others rational and respected. THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS That the negroes of America are making great progress and are going forward by leaps and bounds along all lines of human endeavor cannot be denied. But while he has been making progress the world about him has also been making progress, and having started in the lead, his white brother keeps the lead. Particularly is this true in the business world. The negro merchant, broker, banker, or whatnot is not only handicapped by lack of experience, and of capital and hampered by social prejudice, but greater than all these is the handicap he is under by reason of the lack of confidence in the ability of his own race to do big business and his lack of patriotism which would make him suffer present temporary inconveniences, and losses, if need be, in order that conditions may be made better for his posterity. The scarcity of large business enterprises among the negroes is not due so much to the lack of colored patronage of negro businesses, as to the lack of those negroes who have been patronized by the masses, to co-operate with one another in the production of larger businesses. The business and professional men are at fault for the lack of large corporations among the negroes, and the use by white corporations of most of the capital possessed by the race. There are among the negroes too many separate places of business doing the same kind of business. Both economy and efficiency demand that a large number of these small places be combined and one big business made instead of many small failures. The tendency among our professional men to look up a white corporation in which to invest the money they have made from colored people is top great. Those who can should think and having thought, should act. There is no good reason why the more than two millions of dollars possessed by the negroes of Chicago should not earn as much, or more, if invested so as to give the race full benefit of the fruits of their labor and loyalty, than is now being earned by investing in white institutions whose power, created in part by this very negro capital, is used against him and his children which will come after him. Colored men of brains and means, "it is up to you to make good."—Chicago Chronicle. CARBOLIC AGID ANTIDOTE TINCTURE OF IODINE, IT 18 CLAIMED, GIVES REMARK- ABLE RESULTS. Among cases of accidental poisoning those caused by carbolic acid are the most frequent. These generally arise through mistaking a solution of carbolic acid for some medicine or, as occurs very often, for some alcoholic liquor. The remedies generally employed in dealing with this kind of poisoning consist in washing the stomach with alkaline water or pure glycerin, followed by the ingestion of alkaline sulphates, oil and white of eggs beaten up. Some years ago, however, Dr. Mabler showed that tincture of iodine, administered in fairly large doses, may give much better results. On one occasion when called in to attend a young negro who, thinking he was drinking whisky, had swallowed a quantity of a strong solution of carbolic acid and who consequently was severely burned about the lips and throat, Dr. Mabler hurriedly made him swallow a teaspoonful of tincture of iodine in a cupful of water. A few minutes afterward the patient was able to swallow some milk without any difficulty, speaking became easier, and he very soon completely recovered. The same immediate and complete effect was obtained on administering tincture of iodine in dogs of five drops in water in the case of a three-year-old boy who had just swallowed some carbolic acid. Similar success was met with in a third case of carbolic acid poisoning, the victim being a child of two years of age. In this instance the iodine treatment could not be begun till 30 hours after the ingestion of the poison. The alarming symptoms soon disappeared under the influence of tincture of iodine given every four hours in doses of five drops in a teaspoonful of water. The little patient was cured. The tincture of iodine neutralizes the carbolic or phenic acid by forming with it an iodophenate, insipible and therefore harmless.—European Edition New York Herald.

LYDE ON ORIGINAL COLOR London Scientist Says the First Color of Man Was a Brownish-Yellow. ONCE ALL OF ONE HUE THE INFLUENCE OF LIGHT—ENGLISHMAN THINKS THAT LIGHT HAS MORE EFFECT DETERMINING COLOR THAN HEAT. Prof. Lyonel, Lyde, who teaches economic geography in the University college, London, has attracted a deal of attention recently with his remarks on the subject of skin color. Prof. Lyde's theory is that whatever the color of primitive man in the beginning, the conditions of life during the glacial period were such that uniformity of results must have been produced. Where man originated is not known—very likely in southern Asia, possibly in Africa, certainly not in Europe, anthropologists say. His original color is supposed to have been a sort of brownish-yellow, not like any of the colors of mankind today and scientists call him for the sake of calling him something, a Condwana. He lived in southern latitudes—this, anthropologists think, is certain. Then came the migrations and then, Prof. Lyde believes, the varieties in color began. Some turned black, others brown and others yellow, all according to the climate in which they found themselves. Climatic influences work directly and indirectly. In the tropics the skin and the intestines perform work which in temperate zones is thrown on the lungs. So when man found himself in cooler lands the increased activity of the lungs, together with the lessened light and heat favored lightening of the skin. When he found himself in hotter climates the increased activity of the liver and the presence of great light favored a dark skin. The old theories of race are pretty well discarded, for men of the same race, under differing conditions, would come to be outwardly very different. Thus, even in Africa, which everybody thinks of as the land of the blacks, black is not at all the universal color. In the Soudan, where there is great light and little humidity and no shade, the men are very black. Elsewhere in Africa, where there is forest, more humidity and less light, though about equal heat, the color is brown, and even yellow. As primitive man went on his way over the globe he adapted himself to the conditions he found. Prof. Lyde thinks that it is light, and not heat, which is injurious. There are in the tropics dangerous Xilike rays which must be stopped, and they were stopped by the darkening of the skin. Since lack of moisture also tends to give a tawny color, it is foun' that in rainy countries the people are farer than in places where there are long and frequent droughts. The race, then, that found a home in moderate and damp climates turned whiter and whiter. It is only in such climates that white skins can endure; and presumably, if the present white race were turned into a different part of the world for many hundreds of years the whiteness of the skin would be gradually lost. Perhaps, since the white man is spreading over the world today, it would be fair to say it will, in such cases, be lost, the whiteness being retained only in climates that have the conditions under which the race was first bleached. Intensity of light and little humidity made black. Trade winds and little humidity gave the tinge of brown to the subtropical Mediterranean people. Then comes yellow, which Prof. Lyde puts down as the result of "vast dessicating grass lands" in temperate latitudes. It is the hen of vigor that lays, without constitutional vitality she will not lay. That is undoubtedly true. A hen may have egg-laying capacity, but without vigor she will not produce eggs. On the other hand, the hen may have vigor without egg-laying capacity. She may have constitutional vitality and lay less than 20 eggs a year. The point is that by selecting vigor alone will not make rapid progress in breeding up a strain of heavy layers. Although vigor is one of the main things, we must select both vigor and egg capacity. The hen that lays 200 eggs a year has good vitality, so that a good egg record is an indication of high vitality. It is possible that the 200-egg hen will not produce chicks of good vigor. It is also possible that her eggs may not be fertile. This is also possible in the poor layer. It is also possible that heavy laying may injure her breeding qualities. That is a debatable point, but the fact remains that the hen that lays 50 eggs or more a year has good vitality, and it is such hens that one must depend upon to increase egg production and make poultry keeping more profitable. A high egg record indicates constitutional vitality and stamina. The trap nest, therefore, selects for vigor as well as egg-laying capacity. If each state would take hold of this in a practical way, without doubt in a few years it would add millions of dollars to the profits of poultry keepers; and at the same time help solve the nation's food supply. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE HEN THAT LAYS. IN MILITIA HONORUM SUSPENDENT WHAT THE NEGRO PROBLEM IS NOT Subject Considered From an Impersonal Point of View. FACTS ABOUT ILLITERACY PROF. R. R. WRIGHT IN SOCIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF THE GREAT QUESTION SAYS IT IS NOT A NEGRO PROBLEM IF THE MALADJUSTMENT IS NOT COMMON TO THE WHOLE GROUP. Philadelphia.—Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., has recently issued in book form extracts from his two lectures on the sociological attitude in the study of negro problems, which he prepared for and delivered to the social study class at the University of Pennsylvania. The first part tells of the attitude which social students ought to have in the study of race problems and the difficulties involved. The second part consists of an analysis of the negro problem. The lectures attracted considerable attention, being regarded as among the most philosophic and logical ever delivered on the subject at any of the leading colleges. Under the caption the "Study of Race Problems" Professor Wright says: "In the study of the facts in human activity the very condition of scientific value must be the accuracy and impartiality of the observation of students. For accurate observation the student must be tolerant and open-minded. He must be widely acquainted with the history and condition of peoples in different parts of the world in order to be entirely rid of national, sectional, racial, religious and political bias. "In spite of his race, religion and early education, he ought to be able to look at the facts of society entirely from an impersonal point of view. This is especially necessary in the study of nationalities and races different from our own. We are very liable to underrate these peoples—to consider their mental and physical differences and mental and physical inferiorities; to call their religion heathenish; to look upon their racial tendencies as downward if they are not as ours. This will give us a provincial philosophy, but nothing of real scientific value. "In what consists the particular and peculiar race problem of which we hear so much? A social problem may be said to exist with reference to any particular group when there is in any way maladjustment of that group with respect to its environment. Then the negro problem must be a social problem of maladjustment between the negro group and its American environment. A social problem is a negro problem in so far as the social maladjustment is, first, common to the great mass of the negro group and, second, peculiar to it. It is not a negro problem if the maladjustment is not common to the entire negro group—that is, only negroes suffer it. This we must get clearly in our minds if we are to understand the problem of the negro. "Much confusion already exists as to just what this maladjustment is, and to avoid further confusion careful analysis is necessary. The average person with whom I have come in contact identifies in some way the negro problem with the problem of ignorance and vice, or with poverty and immorality, or with industrial inefficiency, unemployment or some other pathological social condition. One says if it were not for the ignorance of the negro there would be no problem. But let us examine this and we will see that the negro problem is not a problem of illiteracy or ignorance. In the first place, illiteracy is not common to the negro race, for the majority of them can read and write. "In the second place, illiteracy is not peculiar to them as a race, for there are more white illiterates in this country than negro illiterates. In 1900 the census gave 3,200,069 as the number of white illiterates and 2,653,194 as the number of negro illiterates in the United States. There are, according to the same census, fourteen times as many white illiterates in the state of Pennsylvania as negro illiterates. "By the same authority in proportion to population there is less illiteracy among the younger generation of negroes living in the north than in the same class of whites living in the south. The throngs which come to our great cities have a great deal more ignorance among the foreign white element than among the negroes. It is plain, therefore, that ignorance and illiteracy are not the negro problem, although many negroes as well as whites are involved in the general problem of ignorance, which has no color whatever." TRIED TO AVOID HIM. "I am sorry to see you here again," sailed the judge. "You're not half as sorry as I am, judge," sailed the prisoner. "Bad company, my man, as I told you before, is sure to bring you back," sailed the judge. "Yes, judge," sailed the prisoner. "But I can't help myself. I tried to avoid this vulgax cop, but he just reg'larly thrust hisself upon me."—Harper's Weekly.

It is one of our most loyal weekly publi cations, always ringing loud and true in matters of vital race concern. A QUESTION OF RIGHTS, NOT a see ae What the Southern daily newspa: | per refuses to even consider is the fact that the Afro-American in that section does not get anything near like the treatment, as regards his rights and privileges, a maw and cit- ven of this country is entitled to. ‘This latter is true in the North but fn no such aggfavating degree as in the South, It ls not a question of how many acres of land one owns, or how many plows he operates, or how many farm or other laborers he employs, or indeed, how often he has put the first bale of cotton on the market east of west of the Misslasippi, but It fs a Simple question of treatment as a man and citizen; less lynching, etc. When these selfsame Southern daily ‘papers like the Charlotte (X. C.) Ob- jsetver and Macon (Ga.) publications, ‘rocosnize this fact and start in to get fat least a little more of it for the Atro-American in that section, they will not be so terribly “worked up.” so often, as the result of righteous criticlsm of the South's worse than hellish treatment, too often, of its Colored citizens, as they were recent ly because of the insistance of one Dr. Holmes of N. Y. City’s Church of the Messian, that the Southern Negro be better protected in his rights. YOUNG, NOW A MAJOR. The Only One of Color in the U. S. | pall aie AH le Washington, D. C.—The U. S.

Major Young will be accompanied by three bright Young Afro-American college men, Who will bear military titles conferred by the Liberian Government, and wil draw good salaries, paid out of the Liberian customs, collections, over whieh an American receiver-general will have jurisdiction. Dr. Wilson Bal lard, of Louisville, Ky., will be a major at $2,000 per annum and quarters; Dr. Arthur Brown, of Chicago, and’ Mr. Richard Newton, of Washington, D. ©, will be captains at $1,600 per an- iim and quarters. ‘These young men have been selected by Major Young because of their exceptional fitness for the work in hand. CHARGES HATRED. Attorney Maintains Jurors Will Not Convict White Man. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—tin asking a change of venue Monday in the cases of seven defendants yet to be tried on murder charges growing out of the lynching of Zach Walker near Coates. ville, Pa., last August, J. E. B. Cun- ningham, deputy attorney general, de- ‘clared that "there is a deep seated ‘purpose on the part of the people of ‘Chester county not to convict a white man for the murder of a Negro.” A number of men have already been tried In connection with the lynching And all were acquitted. “Your petl- foners are convinced,” the state at sorney says, “that to try the cases re- maining before Juries selected from Chester county would only result in turning Justice into a travesty.” SUES FOR $70,000.

The 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not give this right or privilege, says the U. S. Supreme Court. I have talked to 9 number of socalled lending prozress- ive Negroes here within the week and all seem to be “hugging” that same old delusion “to their breasts”—that the white friends(?) in the Conven- tion will do for them what they seem ‘too Inzy or too indifferent to even ask for.

This requires work, not talk. Wake up, Mr. Ohio Negro! T find conditions here appalling, as far as our people are concerned. ‘The social, moral, financial and political ‘conditions are bad, very bad indeed. ‘This morning, I saw a well-known Ne- gro physician, waiting table in a ho- ‘tel: Medicine case in his overcoat ‘pocket, Robert Smith, a member of the race, 11 years in’charge of the Iavatories of the Southern hotel (no salary), Brass and nickel to polish, floors to mop, ete. He has kept them ‘apotlessly clean all these years. He ‘has been praised on all sides for so doing by public cqmment. Without eause and without any previous no- tice whatever, Mr. Smith has been discharged and Greeks given his and his assistant’s places. ‘The hotel man- agement made a statement that there had been no complaints and no dis- satisfaction as the result of Mr, ‘Smith's work. ‘A club, like some in Cleveland, known as “the Lincoln Sons & Daugh: ‘ters of Ham,” at 175 Maple St.. this -clty. was raided recently while a dance was in progress, as the result ‘of things told in the Juvenile Court Just previous to the raiding, by Nan- mle Day, 17, and Ruth Watkins, 16. John Aiexander and Nathan ‘Lee, young Negroes in charge of the place, were arrested and arraigned in the court, charged with contributing to the delinquency of young girls, Both received sentences of one year in the workhouse and $100 fine. Why can’t Central Ave. in Cleveland. be 0 blessed by Juvenile Court Judge Ad- dams of that city? Ask him, Cleve- Ind reader. ‘The Increase of the s0- called club system is a racial menace and detriment greater than 100 times as many saloons. With few excep- tions, they are little more than dives of the lowest and most immoral kind into which even innocent and well- meaning young girls are coaxed only to become easy victims. Cleveland, like Columbus, is rapidiy fling up with such hellish resorts and some- thing must be done to have the local and state laws enforced against this evil particularly, at once. ‘Then these clubs could not ‘exist in their present destructive form, to say the least.

"Twould take months of ceaseless: labor to write, The Gazette all in re-| gard to the real conditions here, Like in Cleveland, the work of years has | been ruined in months by a few “im. migrant” Negro “blockheads” who style themselves “leaders"—individu- als who will urge separate schools, ‘“jimcrow” Y.

C., whose home is in this city, even had the “nerve” and “gall” to write a let- ter recently to a local daily paper that has a “jim-crow" column in its Sunday ‘edition which his father writes, trying to make our people here believe a lie—that Taft was not al- most equally responsible with “Brownsville” Roosevelt for that dis- missal-without-honor and in disgrace of “The Black Battalion” which num- hered 167 as brave and manly sol diers as ever were in the U.S, Army And some of these very men were among those who saved’ Roosevelt's and his “Rough Riders” tives during the Spanish-American war, in.

It is presented in the form of recollections of Lincoln, told by Billy Brown, a Springfield, M., druggist, ‘who knew Lincoln intimately. Follow: ing is an extract from a talk Lincoln ‘once gave his old friend Brown. It 1s presented just as Brown told it: Then there's that pardoning bus!- negs.

At that time, as was the ease this “week, no Afro-American was admit- ted fo the banquet, and there are ‘over four thousand of these voters in this city. Four years ago, all the | Atroderican waiters, some fifty or sixty in number, were “chased” from ‘the hall while William Howard Taft |spoke (something unheard of at a po- fitical banquet in this city, up to that |time).

Editor. GEORGIA POPULATION BY RACES ANNOUNCED BY CENSUS BUREAU Georgia Has 1,431,836 White People, 1,176,987 Negroes, and 318 From All Other Races of World. NEGRO POPULATION IS 45.1 PER CENT., AGAINST 46.7 IN 1900—STATISTICS FOR PRINCIPAL CITIES OF STATE AND COUNTIES. Washington.—The population of Georgia by color was announced by the census bureau, subdivided as follows: White, 1,431,836; negro, 1,176,987; all others, 318, including Indians, Chineze, Japanese, etc. The negro population constitutes 45.1 per cent., as against 46.7 in 1900 There are 102,860 white persons in the city of Atlanta and 51,902 negroes, with 77 Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc. The negro population constitutes 33.5 per cent. of the whole as against 39.8 per cent. in 1900 and 42.9 per cent. in 1890. It is therefore apparent that the white population of the city is fast outstripping that of the negro. The rate of increase in the white population from 1900 to 1910 more than doubled that for the increasing decade, the increase being, respectively, 45,770 or 90.2 per cent., as against 16,674 or 44.6 per cent. The increase in the negro population since 1900 has likewise been considerable, namely, 16,175 or 45.3 per cent., as compared with an increase of 7,629 or 27.2 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. The population of other Georgia cities is subdivided as follows: White. Negro. Athens . 2,593 . 6,316 Augusta . 22,648 . 18,344 Brunswick . 4,608 . 5,676 Columbus . 12,902 . 7,644 Macon . 22,510 . 18,150 Rome . 8,338 . 3,758 Savannah . 3,784 . 33,246 Waycross . 7,754 . 6,729 The rate of increase in the negro population in the state as a whole since 1900 has fallen of considerably, as compared with that of the preceding decade the increase from 1900 to 1910 being 142,174 or 13.7 per cent., as against 175,938 or 20.5 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. There was not much change between the two decades in the rate of increase in the white population of the increase from 1900 to 1910, being 250,002 or 21.2 per cent, as compared with 202,937 or 20 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. Population by Counties. The population of the several counties of the state by color follows: County. White. Negro.

By burrowing in the earth the earth worm brings up subsol and mixes it with top soil; opens the particles and permits sit, water and organic matter to enter, and this causes chemical and physical changes that produce plant food. A pretty face always gives illusion; and illusions are creative of lots of expanded material. BOXERS ARE BEST H. C. B. Fry, publisher of the new Fry's Magazine, London, England, thinks that the negro is constitutionally a better scraper than the Caucasian, and says: We in England have no anti-collar feeling, and we do not excite ourselves much about Jack Johnson having beaten J. J. Jeffries in America; and as to the more recent boxing event at home we do not take sentimental sides over Langford's defeat over Lang. But as a nation we have recently rediscovered our latent and deep-rooted interest in the ring—which I, for my part, consider a wholesome interest—and we do not much like not having a man who is either champion of the world or thereabouts. One of our own blood, I mean—a white man. I did not see the Langford-Lang fight, but I have met dozens of men who did, and they saw an exhibition of eminent superiority on the part of the colored man. One of them came away with the settled conviction that it is all U-P with the white man against the colored man in boxing. He tells me that he made up his mind (and he has seen much fighting) that the black man has it over the white man in two vital points—quickness and nervous insensibility. Quickness, of course, means hitting power, not only in frequency, but in force, for speed is a main component in the force of a blow, and nervous insensibility means natural capacity for not being affected by punishment. Other things being equal, the man who can hit harder than his opponent, and be less affected by the blows he receives must in general be the winner. Few people recognize what quickness in athletics means, and that in many forms of athletics it is what they miscall strength. This is particularly noticeable in cricket. Indian, Malay and West Indian negro. All three were quite distinctly quicker with a cricket bat than any white man I have ever seen. The Indian was the quickest, the Malay and the West Indian negro about equal. But we must remember that the Indian is quite closely allied by distant descent with the same forefathers. The negro is of a different stock. As to nervous insensibility, I doubt whether the best white man is inferior by race to the best negro in natural endurance under punishment; and I am strongly of the opinion that he is superior in the will-made endurance we call pluck. But I have seen some remarkable examples of the physical endurance of the black man. I saw a Kaffir in the Aranskel district in South Africa, with his foot literally cut in half, and calmly hobbling off, after casually tying it up with a rag. He reminded me of a feline animal—his insensibility was inhuman—he hadn't even winced. It is, of course, a curious fact that one black man will survive wounds that would kill five white men. A surgeon who served in the Zulu war once related to me some notable instances; but a black man will die of an attack of measles which a white child would not be very ill with. IRON IN WATER IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FLAVORING AGENTS KNOWN. What would you consider one of the most powerful agents with which to flavor water? Would it be iron? *A half part per million of iron in water is detectable by taste, and more than four or five parts make a water unpalatable. In some mineral springs iron is the constituent which imparts a medicinal value to the water, but ordinarily it is undesirable. More than 2.5 parts per million in water and for laundering makes a stain on clothes. Iron must be removed from water from which ice is made or a cloudy discolored product will result. An iron content of over two or three parts per million in water used in the manufacture of paper will stain the paper. Iron is harmful in water used for steaming, for it is in equilibrium with acids, which inside the boiler become dissociated with the result that the free acids corrode the boiler plates, but the amount of iron carried in solution by most waters is so small that the damage it does to steam boilers generally amounts to little. Waters having high iron content have in some places caused an immense amount of trouble and expense when used as city supplies, for they favor the growth of cremothrix to such a degree that the water pipes become clogged with the iron sheaths of the organism. The removal or iron from water is sometimes easy and sometimes very difficult.—Geological Survey Bulletin. NOT DOING WELL. "How did you come on with your study of the Russian language?" "Not well.

BISHOP GAINES IS DEAD AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS Atlanta—W. J. Gaines, bishop of the First Episcopal district of the A. M. E. church, south, and one of the most conservative leaders of his race, is dead, the end coming at the residence, 360 Houston street. Bishop Gaines was seventy-one years of age. He was born in Washington, Ga. For about 30 years he had been a bishop of his church and was highly esteemed by white and black for his work along educative lines and for his safe and sane advice to the members of his race. He was responsible for the establishment of Morris Brown college and much of his time and attention was given to the needs of this institution. About a year ago he suffered from a severe attack of the grip and had never fully recovered. The immediate illness that caused his death, however, was a short one. He leaves a wife and daughter. SOUTH CAROLINA TEACHERS. Manning, S. C.—The twelfth annual session of the State Colored Teachers association met in Orangeburg, with a large enrollment of educators representing the teaching fraternity of the race, and the leading schools in the public system of negro education, also the leading colleges and universities for negroes in this state. The meeting was one of great importance, as its effect upon the life and working of the school in South Carolina is felt. There were able discussions by some of the strongest men and women of the profession. "School Improvement," "School Needs," "Teachers Associations," "Supervision of Negro Schools" and "Negro High Schools" were some of the subjects discussed in a manner that meant information and inspiration to the body of teachers gathered. The officers of the associations for South Carolina are: Prof. N. J. Fredrick, superintendent of the Howard Graded school at Columbia, president; Prof. S. L. Finley, principal Chester school, secretary; Mrs. C. D. Saxon of Columbia, treasurer. A committee, consisting of Dr. W. D. Chappelle, president of Allen university; J. B. Beck, principal of the Georgetown public schools, and Prof. J. E. Wallace, dean of languages in Claflin university at Orangeburg, issued an address to the country, setting forth in a masterly way the wants of the negroes in their desire for more funds, better buildings and more equipment for their schools. The sessions of the association were held in the chapel of the state University for Negroes. A royal reception was given the teachers of the state by the president and faculty of this great school. Prof. R. Shaw Wilkinson of Charleston, S. C., is president of the state university. He succeeded Dr. Thomas E. Miller, who held the position for 15 years. WHERE WATER GOES. All the rain that percolates down into the earth comes to the surface again somewhere. It goes down until it meets rock, through which it cannot pass, and as more water is coming down all pressing upon it, it has to find a way to escape to the surface. In this underground trip it takes up from the salts that are useful to the life of plants and animals. PHYSICAL SYMPATHY WANTED.

Mound Bayou, Miss.—Representative men and women were in Mount Bayou from all parts of the state, and many from Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana, attending a conference which was called by Hon. Chas Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mount Bayou, and first vice-president of the National Negro Business league. In this he was backed by some of the leading citizens of the state. Mount Bayou is the oldest negro town in the United States, and has a population of nearly 1,000 industrious citizens. The growth and progress of the city has caused many of the leading colored people in various parts of the country to invest their money in land and the business enterprises. There are many groceries, mercantile establishments, meat markets, shoe stores, 2 drug stores, 1 photograph gallery, 1 newspaper and plant, 3 insurance agencies, 1 bank, 3 schools, headquarters for the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, headquarters for the Masonic Benefit association, 4 public library and assembly hall, four churches, and many other enterprises are being conducted in Mound Bayou. The people have erected some good homes and public buildings, and within a short time an ice plant and lightning plant is to be launched. Employment is furnished hundreds of young men and women who have graduated from various schools and colleges. The meeting was held in the assembly room of the Carnegie library, and was presided over by Rev. A. A. Cosey, D. D., pastor of the Green Grove Baptist church, and the opening prayer was made by Rev. J. H. Greer Hon. Chas. Banks made an address in which he stated the object of the meeting, and this was followed by a number of other short addresses. In his opening remarks Mr. Banks called attention to the fact that the race was about to enter a new field, by establishing an oil mill at a cost of $95,000. The buildings were complete and machinery was being installed. The main building is a two-story brick structure 50x220, and the seed house and ware-room was a large frame structure 50x344. The modern improved machinery had been installed, and the promoters had been so careful in constructing the buildings and purchasing the machinery that the first year would pay a dividend. They were only $12,000 in debt. After the address of Mr. Banks several others spoke, and Dr. W. A. Attaway started the ball to rolling by subscribing $250 additional to the stock which he had already, and issued his check to pay for the same. Others fell in line. A number of short addresses were delivered at night. HOW TO DESTROY YOUR RAGE PONDER WELL THE THINGS ENUMERATED BELOW AND SEE HOW MANY OF THE WEAPONS MENTIONED ARE YOU USING IN RACE DESTRUCTION. Disobey God. Throw your money away. Don't read books and papers. Be a coward. Be a pimp. Be afraid to read no newspapers. Be a tattler. Be a backbiter. Be a liar. Say yes for no and for yes. Be dishonest. Be immoral. Be a drunkard or tolerate drinking. Be a gambler or conceal gambling. Be too busy to read. Let your Sunday school run down, and don't read the Bible. Try to give advice in everything without learning something to enable you to give advice. Pay off notes without getting receipts or without getting an attorney or some sensible person to look over or examine your receipt. Let other people induce you to help prostitute your women. Allow your children to associate with bad children. Tolerate and encourage ranting for preaching. Don't stick together in business matters. Oppose your leaders. Don't contend for your rights. Don't patronize one another in business. Carry one another to law at every chance. Patronize every excursion in your reach. Eat unnecessarily. Drink and be rowdy. Spend your money on your back instead of your head and in a home. Have more confidence in other races than in your own. Idle your wet and cold days away instead of studying, chopping wood or doing something that needs your attention. Don't save your fodder and hay. Sell your corn at 50 cents a bushel and buy it back at $1.25 per bushel. Keep a lot of white people's newspapers in your home for your children and never place any negro papers and negro books in their hands. Just keep on telling your children that they are bad. Stop courting your wife as soon as you marry her. Keep on opposing and fighting your young men. Neglect bathing often and keep filth homes. Don't associate with good or wise people. Don't be careful about how you entertain strangers. Don't be kind, courteous and polite. Don't respect your parent nor other aged people. Allow a few or no babes in the homes. Which one of these weapons are you using to destroy your race? If you are clear, God and your race will bless you; if you are guilty, you shall reap what you sow, in time and in eternity unless you change and repent. Ethiopian Observer. WOULDN'T LOOK WELL. A slight accident had happened in repairing the track, and Murphy was sent to the office to report it. He was handed a blank to fill out and going along all right till he came to the section headed: Remarks. "If you plaque, sore," he said, beckoning to the clerk. "What's the trouble Murphy?" he was asked, "Well, y' see, sorr, it was Bill's big toe he crushed wild the hammer, an' Old just as soon not put down the raymarks Bill made."—Boston Transcript. Accidents in all forms come as a shock to everyone. Almost every man, woman and child has read or has been told what to do in case of fire, or drowning or the hundred and one other accidents that are likely to occur any day in the year. But when it comes to putting into practice the theories that have been studied the average person is totally at sea. Mothers especially are apt to lose their presence of mind in case of danger to their dear ones and forget all the essential reliefs that should be administered without delay. If every mother confronted with an accident that may prove fatal to her child could retain her senses more children would live to reach an age of self-reliance. Of course, knowing just what to do that all-important thing, and next comes the ability to keep one's head. In case of burning, if it be serious, the first thing to do is to send one for a physician while the child is being place in a tub of warm water. The temperature should be at blood heat (98 degrees Fahrenheit), and there the child should be kept until the arrival of the doctor. The greatest care should be taken in dressing the burns when they have started to heal and the discharge has stopped. One teaspoonful of sterile or clean boric acid ointment, mixed with an ounce of vaseline, should be spread on antiseptic gauze or old soft linen, and the whole bandage should be fastened tight with a few twists of the cloth. This dressing should be changed daily. When the burn is slight the most soothing treatment is to keep on the tender places bandages moistened in a solution of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to a pint of water, or in boric acid solution. The mother should see to it that the bandages are always wet. A very common accident among little children is the swallowing of pins, buttons, coins, etc. In cases like this do not give the child a cathartic, as it may result in serious injury. If left alone the article will gradually work its way out of the body, doing no harm. Do not change the baby's diet in any way, unless it be an older child. In that case let the little one eat as much cereal and mashed potatoes as possible for a few days. When the baby is to be choking while eating, or if he has "swallowed the wrong way," setze him by the feet and let him hang head downward while two or three smart slaps are given the back with the palm of the hand. This will relieve the trouble. In case of bleeding nose let the child suffice ice cold water up his nostrils. Ice packages, at the back of the neck and at the top of the nose sometimes help to stop the bleeding. If it continues in spite of this, put little wads of cotton up the nostrils or press the lower part of the nose be tween the fingers for a few moments. Do not allow the child to touch its nose for some hours after the bleeding has ceased. The mother should never try to remove any object which has fallen into the child's ear. The thing to do in such a case is to call a doctor immediately. Serious trouble has resulted from ill-advised attempts on the part of mothers to doctor their children's ears without professional aid. Any cut or scratch from a rusty nail, broken glass, splinters or jagged bits of tin should receive immediate medical attention. The only thing the mother can do is to wash the spot carefully with peroxide of hydrogen and put wet bandages over it. Do not neglect to call a physician, no matter how slight the wound may be, as lockwag has often resulted from negligence. When a cut bleeds too freely press cotton firmly over the spot until it ceases. For the minor accidents, such as insect stings, bruises, sunburn, etc., where some little momentary pain is felt, the relief is simple and will allay the sting of the moment. For the bite of any insect wash it with alcohol or drop a little ammonia on it, or put on a bandage with wazel. If the little one's finger has been caught in a door or otherwise badly jammed, put on an leed or very hot compress and tie the fingers tightly. If the child is badly burned, alcohol, diluted half and half with water will bring relief, or compresses of witch hazel are an excellent remedy. ALL ABOUT HEADGEAR. Now that we are all so eastern for the time being, Oriental effects are greatly in request, and our heads are wrapped up in turbans which closely resemble the Indian puggeree, while a center jeweled ornament rests upon the brow. Again, Juliet gem-studded caps are much in vogue, from which a fringe falls all round on to the neck and over the ears, leaving the forehead and eyes only uncovered. This is varied by side tassels which fall at each ear. Indeed, the vagaries of these head adornments are endless, and in some cases we might dispense with the possession of any hair at all, and for these close-fitting, helmet-like caps completely cover it up. SOME NOVELTIES Enamel mandarin pendants are among the eastern novelties. Notable among the enamels of the season there are long pearl earrings in various dainty shades with pearl pendant drops, and there are enamel watches on flexible chain bracelets set in pearls. For the writing table there are perpetual calendars in silver and enamel with ivory tables, and menu holders are produced in enamel in the form of butterflies. USE OF FUR AND LACE ON MIDWINTER HATS Trimmings of fur on hats are noted almost without limit. Both the long and short haired varieties are in use. Skunk is, perhaps, the most popular imitation seal is frequently seen, and ermine and mole are much used, in addition to real seal on high-class models. Skunk and opossum are employed in wide and narrow bands, the narrower bands being used like a fringe on the edge of the brim and to outline the edges of loops or donkey ears of velvet, lace, maline, etc. Frequently use is made of a narrow roll of skunk, opossum, mole or ermine around the crown, with a flat bow of the same fur at one side of the crown. Not only are small turbans and close-fitting hats shown in fur of all kinds, but large trimmed models are noted entirely covered with one of the short-haired furs. In the very large picture shapes the crown and upper brim are covered with seal, moleskin or rermine, while the under brim is faced with velvet, silk maline, lace or such material. A French model with broad brim and low, round crown had the crown and upper side of the brim covered with imitation seal, while the under brim was faced with cerise-colored velvet. Gold roses with cerise velvet hearts formed the only trimming. Many models are shown with crown of fur and a flange of the same edging the brim. In addition to such furs as seal, mole, beaver,ermine, skunk, opossum, fox, lynx, etc., the more novel furs like raccoon, leopard skin and clvet cat are also being employed. One has but to visit the theaters to witness the popularity of laces in millinery and to learn what chic effects may be produced by a bit of lace deftly disposed here and there on velvet, beaver or satin hats, with perhaps no other ornamentation. Fur, combined with gold or silver lace, is an attractive combination. Velvet hats show the crown covered with gold lace, or an edge of lace will be appliqued on either the upper or under side of the brim, while a band of fur may be passed around the crown and edge loops of velvet ribbon or ears of heavy lace, velvet, satin or other material. The white or ecrut lace which is used for hats is usually of the heaviest variety, such as macrame, Venise, Irish, etc., while the black laces are favored in the lightest varieties, such as Chantilly and the shadow laces. A large French model in black velvet had a flounce of black shadow lace gathered around the base of the crown, permitting the edge to fall over the brim. Around the base of the crown was a narrow strip of skunk, while a second strip encircled the upper side of the brim midway between the crown and edge. At the side was a bunch of black paradise algettes. A HINT ABOUT SPRING FASHIONS A lingerie gown which forecasts a fashion for summer is extreme in its simplicity. In English embroidery on fine lawn, the foundation of silk and dress material proper have an interlining of deep pansy, purple chiffon, which give a pretty gray note to the dress. Folds of the chiffon encircle the waist above a tabler of embroidery held down with tiny white buttons, and chiffon is again used for sleeves and yoke, where the embroidered material is lashed up from neck to elbows, and looped together with strands of purple ribbon velvet. A pretty idea of a summer gown is a dress made of white open-work embroidery over white satin. The dress has a dainty little coat of daffodil-yellow ninon, belted at the waist with royal blue Ottoman, and finished with hemsstitched edges of yellow satin with yellow satin with gold threads near the clasp of black velvet which has rows of yellow and blue buttons, and the collar, with frill down one side of the front, is of the embroidery edged with Valenclennes. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Unless apples are very juicy it is not necessary to dredge them with flour before frying. Apples and bacon are particularly tasty at this time of year. Apples, cored, the cavities filled with chopped nuts and raisins, and baked, are delicious molded with lemon jelly. Put each apple into a mold, or custard cup, and pour over it lemon jelly. When cold, turn out and serve with sweetened whipped cream. Gloves will last longer is they are taken off, wrong side out, then turned and pulled into shape. Do not put them away folded. Mayonnaise will keep for many days, especially in cool weather. A jar of mayonnaise and a jar of boiled salad dressing on hand in the refrigerator fortifies the housekeeper against an unexpected guest. By means of these a salad for lunch is quickly prepared. Vells should be rolled when not in use, but there is a right and wrong way to do this. Always roll them in the opposite direction from which they have been worn. An excellent use to make of the discarded felt hat is this: Cut small disks of the felt and glue them to the chair legs, in that way preventing noise when the chair is moved. Tables and other movable furniture, not provided with casters, should be similarly treated if one would avoid unnecessary noise about the house. GIRL'S DRESS. S668 The dainty little dress here pictured is made in the popular Gibson style which is always a favorite one for the small girl. The shoulder plains extend to the wrist line, front and back. The plain skirt is attached to the waist by a narrow belt. A feature of this garment is the applied yoke, which to me effective is made of contrasting goods. Plaid wool material with plain yoke of the same color as predominates in the plaid would be nice, or the same idea can be carried, out equally as well with cotton fabric. The pattern (No. 5668) is cut in sizes from 6 to 12 years. To make the dress in the medium size will require 3½ yards of 36 inch material. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department, of this paper, sure to give size and number of pattern. NO. 5668. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN..... STREET AND NO.....

"No safety-deposit-vault red tape for me!" declared the woman who cannot help being the wife of a very rich man. "I keep my jewels in a shabby old trunk in my own room. There isn't even a lock on it. I had to force it off one time." "Evidently you don't encourage enterprise in burglaries," observed one of her hearers. "All a man would have to do would be to raise the lid. You might at least make him a little trouble." "He'd have trouble enough," said the woman, mysteriously. "Our coachman's brother is an old sailor—a perfect artist in knots—and he showed me how to bind up the trunk in the most complicated way, and no burglar could possibly untie it." The only man in the group grinned, "Of course," he murmured, reflectively, "no mere second-story man would ever dream of cutting those anots." Animals That Count. There are human beings, such as inhabitants of the Murray islands in the Straits of Torres, that cannot count further than two. But, most surprising still, most animals possess calculating abilities, and several have a distinct appreciation of number. In certain mines of Hainaut the horses are so used to traversing the same road thirty times that after their last round they go to the stable of their own accord and refuse to take another step. Montaigne says that the oxen employed in the royal gardens of Susa for turning the wheels to which the water pals were attached absolutely refused to make more than 100 rounds, which constituted their daily task.

They extend the bereaved family heartfelt sympathy.

D, Ninth Battalion, O, N. G, entered Wednesday evening at the Armory. For the sixth symphony program of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra a unique and delightful treat has been arranged by the committee. Charles Heydler, cellist, will present Servals’ “Concert Miliaire,” and Fritz Fischer, a member of the orchestra, will be heard in a zither solo. While Charles Heydler, a member of national reputation, he has seldom been heard here except as a member of the Philharmonic Quartet. His concert tours have unfortunately not included Cleveland, a reason why he has not been more prominent in the local field. As a concert virtuoso and a teacher of cello he has a national reputation. It was a good business move on the part of the music committee to teach the cello to the series. Few Clevelanders know of the solitistic ability of Mr. Heydler. This will be an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the playing of Cleveland’s premier soloist. Fritz Fischer, who plays French horn and teaches zither, has been secured for a number. The zither is such a rare instrument and so few care to study it. Mr. Heydler heard Mr. Fischer as a solist of no mean calibre, hence his interpretation is looked for with great anticipation. Tickets are on sale every Saturday at Burrows Bros.' store. Bishop M. F. A. Fet-ton, who has returned from Africa, is convalescing. HE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1912. R. R.
