The wrist bag which the bridge expert carries is becoming a very splenid affair of silk or satin, embroidered with floss or closely encrusted with tiny beads of crystal, pearl or metal. Not infrequently it is of heavy lace, lined with a silken material or with a metallic gauze. One model is a very long and slender affair of illac appilqued with genuine Irish lace motifs. About its mouth is a narrow edging of the lace and below that is a pocket through which runs a cording of mauve silk and silver threads, which, the ha cepture ring, the tersal model, broidered die bag under Edging sides of pea bafis COAT Very W SMART COSTUME Silk and wool fancy mixture is used here, the color of a soft shade of green. The skirt is trimmed at foot with wide band of black satin, standing up in deep taps each side; two rows of fine silk braid edge the satin. The smart little coat is cut Magyar, it joins in front to waist and is trimmed each side with satin which is carried round the basque. A satin band about 1½ inches wide finishes the waist. Hat of Tagel to match dress, trimmed with ribbon bows and a wreath of small flowers. Materials required for the dress: 4½ yards 46 inches wide, 1½ yards satin 22 inches wide. THE GAZETTE which, when drawn taut, firmly closes the bag. At its base, where the receptacle is gathered over a 'small ring, is a long tassel of the same materials as the hanger. The other model, of rose velvet elaborately embroidered with seed pearls, is in a sand bag shape and has mouths opening under huge rings of mother of pearl. Edging both ends and running up the sides as far as the rings is a fringe of pearl beads and at the corners are balls of seed pearls. COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN Very Smart Are Those of Crash Which Have Suddenly Become So Popular. Ultra smart are the coat sets in heavy crash. While a few of them are entirely of a creamy hue, the most effective are in old rose, deft blue, pastel green or khaki, emboldened with white or black linen floss. This needlework, which is in a bold design and done in a close, solid stitch, runs from the inner to the outer edge of both collar and cuffs, where the hem-stitched border is very coarse and effective. The collars are five pointed and so extremely broad that one Van Dyke terminates at the center of the back, two Van Dykes fall over the top of the arm, and the remaining pair extend almost half way to the waist line. The cuffs have three sharp Van Dykes, a deep one running backward to the elbow, and two shorter ones pointing, toward the inner side of the arm. These coat sets are now worn with plainly tailored sleeves of dark hue, but they will be equally smart looking with the tailored frocks in white, gray or tan. INGERGLOW POPULAR. As the sun advances and outdoor functions become general, some delightful lingerie dresses will be seen; for in the warmer weather there is always a great wave in favor of white. It will not be unreliable purity, however, for the note of color will occur in sunshade, shoe and waist belt, while in the silk or ninon frock the lingerie collar and the flounce will give it the simple touch and charm which is so characteristic of the artistic creations of the moment. Hats of real panama with contrasting underbrims are the most appropriate and delightful for wear with dainty muslin frocks, and they are quite smart enough for most functions. For the Sick Room. To sweeten the air of a sick room for a patient who is tired of the usual perfumes, burn a few drops of oil of sandalwood on a shovel. Eau de Cologne dropped on a hot shovel also gives a most agreeable odor. If perfumes are not at hand an admirable substitute may be found in camphor, a piece of which may be burned by the application of a hot poker. The strong smell of the camphor quickly disappears, taking with it all the close and disagreeable odors of the sick room. Summer Luncheon Sets. For summer luncheon tables especially there are cream crash centerpiece, napkin and dolly sets embroidered in black and blue, black and red, or black and green. The pieces are all scalloped. MAJOR WRIGHT'S EFFECTIVE PLEA Bill Appropriating Funds For Exposition May Pass. LEADERS FAVOR MOVEMENT—NOTED EDUCATOR AND ORGANIZER OF MANY SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENTS FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE RACE MAKES CONVINCING ARGUMENT BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE—HIS ACHIEVEMENTS. Washington.—Maj. R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial college and the president of the American emancipation exposition, scored another victory for the race in its recent address before the house appropriation committee of congress. He made a strong and convincing argument in behalf of the $250,000 appropriation for the negro semi-centennial exposition. The special committee co-operating with Major Wright consisted of the following persons: Messrs. J. J. Fitzgerald, chairman; Charles L. Bartlett, Thomas U. Sisson, Joseph G. Cannon, Frederick H. Gillett. Major Wright seems to have again made a very favorable impression upon the house committee. The report of his hearing before the committee contains 16 pages. The committee decided to report the bill favorably to congress. The general belief is that it will need without much difficulty. Bishop Alexander Walters, who is interested in the bill, wrote Major Wright that he had been Speaker Champ Clark, House Leader Underwood and Chairman Fitzgerald and that all had agreed to the passage of the bill. It has the indorsement of some of the leading white philanthropists, such as R. C. Ogden, George Poste Peabody, William J. Schieffeln and others. It also has the indorsement of the leading periodicals. Dr. Lyman Abbott and William Hayes Ward have also indorsed the movement. It is gratifying to know that a number of the governors of southern states, such as of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia and Kentucky, have indorsed the idea of holding such an exposition. Major Wright and his friends began the matter in its second stage last April and have been successful in getting it through the senate and halfway through the house, where it now occupies a favorable position. One of the members of the committee on appropriations asked Professor Wright to tell something about himself. This is quite satisfactorily answered in that famous publication known as "Who Is Who in America." This notable biographical dictionary contains the names of a very large number of America's notable men. It speaks of Major Wright as follows: "Richard Robert Wright, college president. Born in Dalton, Ga., May 18, 1656, son of Robert Wadell and Harriet (Lynch) Wright; A. B. 1876, A. M. 1879, Atlanta university; LL. D. Wilberforce university, Ohio, 1892; married L. Elizabeth Howard of Columbus, Ga., June 7, 1877; began teaching Augusta, Ga., 1880; president Georgia State Industrial college (colored), Savannah, 1891; organizer and president Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial association 1907; president Georgia State Agricultural and Industrial fair 1908. "Major Wright served as additional paymaster, with rank of major, volunteers, August 3 to December 1, 1989; trustee Atlanta university, delegate to four Republican conventions, declined appointment E. E. and M. P. to Liberia, tendered by President McKinley; Congregationalist, Mason, member American Historical association, National Educational association, etc. author historical and other papers and articles in periodical press; address Savannah, Ga." COLORED WOMAN, ONCE A SLAVE, LEAVES $6,000 ST. MONICA'S HOME, OLD COLOR-ED WOMEN'S HOME, ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH, BOSTON, AND WOODLAWN CEMETERY, BOSTON, GET BEQUESTS. Middletown, Conn.—By the will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman who spent most of her life as a cook, several Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of $6,000. The will leaves $500 to St. Monica's Home for Sick Colored Women and Children of Boston; $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in this city. There are small bequests—$500 to the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston, $500 to St. Augustine's church, Boston, $500 to Woodlawn cemetery in Everett, Mass, and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks of this city, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for many years in the homes of Middletown families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making a contest on the ground that she was of unsound mind. NEGRO WOMEN OF ATLANTA ORGANIZE FOR THE UPLIFT AND PROTECTION OF THE RACE. Atlanta.—The negro women of Atlanta, realizing that something must be done, and that quickly, have united with the Prison Mission Settlement Workers for the uplift and protection of their young people from crimes that lead to prison; also to devise ways to help the police to protect their women and girls who are in domestic service from the murder flends. The kind words, encouragement and genuine interest in this movement by the white people in this movement by the white people of Atlanta has given renewed strength to the workers. The negro women of our city have faith. They believe that all the women acting as one will influence their young people to be good and true, and also put to flight for all time the slayers of their women. Cocaine is another flend more dangerous, but not so quick, as it is said to require about five years for its victims to overtake death. One authority says: "This new vice, the cocaine vice, the most serious that has to be dealt with, has proved to be a creator of criminals and unusual forms of violence." Yet neither our national nor state government restricts the importation of this soul-destroying drug. Through Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational church, the negro women of this city have in that church a place to meet at all times to discuss and plan ways to better their condition. As a result of these meetings during the fall of 1911 we are doing foundation work, which is the keynote to all our endeavors. We have a class in domestic science under an experienced instructor. All women and girls who are unable to pay for lessons will be taught free, provided they are fitting themselves to make a living. Any one that knows anything about domestic science can understand how valuable this training makes a person, not only in the kitchen, but in the sick room and among the children. A woman thoroughly trained in domestic science is a treasure in her own home or in the home of others. Children's classes in sewing, mending and darning are conducted every afternoon from 8 a.m. to 4 o'clock. These classes are taught by the women of the city who desire to give an hour of service once a week to God and humanity. These little people are taught to mend and darn their own clothing. This work is not a task, but very much like a kindergarten of older children. In this way all mending and darning is taken from the mother's hands, which is quite an item in a home where there are children, and the mother works for others every day in the week. Classes of small boys are taught street etiquette, electric car deportment and good behavior in general. The parents of all these children work for white families in this city. The only way to know a people is to go among them, not once, but often. Many of our good women live in alley and other sections of the city not so good. Some of these women are beautiful laundresses, others are cooks and housemails. These women are rearing their children as well as they can. Their children attend our public schools, also Sabbath school. As these women work for the white families of Atlanta, they must live near the heart of the city and the alley is the only place for these women to live, who would live in a more respectable locality if they could. Here one will find true philanthropy. They will divide the last bite of bread and give their clothing to those among them in need. All thoughtful negroes and those who keep up with current events appreciate the south's burden. The great work she is doing and is still planning and organizing to better conditions among white people. Payne Institute, at Augusta, for the education of preachers and teachers for the negro; the splendid public schools for our children, giving employment to thousands of our young women as teachers, are one of our greatest aids to race building. However, there are conditions existing in this city which are of vital importance to both races. We are working to help the women, but our progress is handicapped by the unsanitary conditions in a large number of their homes. Many negro families live in small houses close together, having a common yard. To get into these homes, whose yards are a network of clothes lines filled with snowy-white clothes, one has to stop, twist and dodge until a door is found. On entering you will sometimes find three women washing clothes in one room of a two-room house, the little children standing around, for it is too wet and cold for them to play outdoors. Three tubs of water and wet clothes in a small two-room house. When one takes into consideration that some of these women earn more than $5 a week by washing some idea can be gained as to the quantity of water used and the number of wet garments in one little home. Why should the world be amazed at the ravages of tuberculosis among negroes? In such surroundings the foundation for tuberculosis and other diseases are laid in the new-born babies. In these communities wash sheds should be built, having doors and windows and large brick or stone fireplaces where the clothes could be boiled. In this way the little children could be kept away from the damp and slush. We hope to establish a day nursery in these congested communities, but we are not able to do so without outside aid. We ask all lovers of God and humanity to invest a little money for him at the bottom of the ladder, where so many of his creatures dwell, who are never blessed with the glad sunlight of sweet, clean homes. Help us to save our children and we will save yours through our improved health and better sanitation in our homes. Respectfully. ANNA M. TATE, Chairman. ECONOMIC CONDITION OF NEGROES IN THE NORTH In an informing paper on "The Economic Condition of Negroes in the North," in the Southern Workman, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., the editor of the Christian Recorder, presents some statistics and conclusions worthy the thoughtful consideration of the readers of The Age, and especially the negro preachers, settlement workers and others engaged in negro uplift work in the North and Western states. Some of Dr. Wright's conclusions are very startling and disconcerting; such, for instance, as that "Until recently the negroes of the North did not reproduce themselves; the great increase of negroes in the large cities was due chiefly to immigration from the South. To an extent, it is true today that the chief source of increase of the northern negro population is the immigration of negroes. More than half the negroes in the cities of the North today were born in the South." He finds that records of births among negroes are very difficult to obtain, and "even now most of the cities would report an excess of deaths over births if they reported anything." In Philadelphia, where separate records of births and deaths have been kept since 1900, with a fair degree of accuracy, a table is given showing the results for nine years. In 1900, 1901 and 1902 there were 420, and again in 1908 144 more deaths than births. For the five other years the excess of births over deaths was only 1,823, the total excess for the nine years being 1,262 in favor of births. The bureau of vital statistics is of the opinion, however, that many negro births are not reported. However this may be, Wright concludes that "it is probable that the principal increase of the negro population is due to the births among the immigrant negroes from the South, rather than to the native-born northern negroes, and that in reality the native-born negro does not reproduce himself"; that is, does not perpetuate himself. Our observation in New York for 33 years is that families peter out in the male line, leaving one or two healthy members, or become lost in the third and fourth generations. In this way most of the family names of old New Yorkers have been wiped out. The same thing is true of Philadelphia, where in 1900 only some 40 percent of the 1,266 marriages were of Philadelphia, 37.7 per cent being born in Virginia, 13.9 in Maryland and 6.9 in North Carolina. In concluding the consideration of the birth and death rate, and the small number of marriages contracted, based in the main on the Philadelphia statistics, Mr. Wright says: "This much may be haphazard, that the negro in the northern city, handicapped by an increased cost of living and shut out of the fullest enjoyment of the community life, does not reproduce himself, but must be constantly reinforced by people from an environment sanctioning a lower standard of living, who are able and will consent to have children. If the migration from the South were cut off the northern negro population would probably slowly die out. For the population now maintains itself not only by immigration but by immigration of those who will have families. Their children, the second generation, born and reared under northern conditions, are those who do not reproduce themselves." That this condition is not brought about by the climatic conditions of the northern and western states is shown conclusively by statistics, the death rate of the negro population of 12 northern and western cities, for 1900, being greatly less than that of 12 southern cities, that of Savannah, Charleston and New Orleans being twice as great as that of New York and Chicago. "Nor is that the only indication," says Dr. Wright. "According to the census, the death rate of northern negroes is frequently lower than that of whites in southern cities." The reason for the condition that works against the perpetration or reproduction of the negro in the northern and western states must be sought for in some other causes than climate housing and high cost of living, as compared with southern conditions. The question is one of vital interest and could to advantage be made a special study by our physicians. In a thoughtful article in The Outlook for April 8 last, dealing with the decline of the birth rate in Great Britain, the Australian states, France and the United States, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt takes a dilleful view of the future, as failure of population and decadence of nationality go together. If the negro race is producing more females than males, if marriages are becoming fewer, if the death rate is exceeding the birth rate, and if the tendency not to perpetuate itself is gaining ground, the race is in a fair way of going to seed, and the causes making for it should be ascertained if possible and a remedy discovered and applied. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. MUSKINGUM COLLEGE HONORS DR. JAS. E. SHEPARD DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF DIVINITY CONFERRED UPON PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL. BY GEORGE F. KING. New Concord, Ohio. (Special).—A signal honor has been bestowed upon one of the leading negroes in the country. Because of his eminent fitness for the ministry and the effective work he is accomplishing as founder and president of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C. Muskulgum college of this place, which has among its graduates some of the most noted theologs, scholars and missionaries in the world and has just finished the celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary, has conferred upon Rev. James E. Shepard the degree of doctor of divinity. Although this institution is one of the smaller colleges its standard is so high and its graduates such eminent characters that it is recognised throughout Christendom as a great institution of learning. This act of the college is quite significant because Doctor Shepard is the only negro ever honored by this college. Among the host of graduates who are rendering their share for the true uplift of humanity are the late Doctor Harper, president of the Chicago university; Doctor Morehead, dean of Xenla Theological seminary, Xenla, Ohio; Doctor Lawrence, Hon. W. J. Bryan's pastor; Doctor McCleenahan, a pastor of the great Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Dr. Jesse Johnson, an authority on church history and apologetics, and such men as Rev. J. Walter Liggitt, who are contributing to the spiritual and educational development of the negro. Graduates of this noted college will be found in every section of the world giving service for the true development of man and the redemption of heathens. It boasts of the fact that 55 per cent. of its male graduates are either in the ministry or the missionary work of the world. Because of the far-reaching influence of the school of Doctor Shepard and meeting the peculiar religious exigencies of the negro people the above honors were largely won by this progressive Afro-American. Doctor Shepard, some years ago, gave up his profession as pharmacist, at which time he was registered under the laws of his state, to enter active Christian work and today he is filling the place of his father, the late Rev. Dr. Augustus Shepard, who is regarded as one of the ablest ministers in the race and who has accomplished great work for the religious, educational, social, economic uplift of his race in North Carolina and states contiguous to same. BECKETT MADE PRESIDENT FORMER SECRETARY OF FOREIGN MISSIONS OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH ELECTION AS UNIVERSITY HEAD A POPULAR ONE. Manning, S. C.—The new president of Allen university is the Rev. W. W. Beckett, D. D., former secretary of missions of the A. M. E. church. Dr. Beckett was elected to this position by the board of trustees at its annual session. His election meets the beary approval of laymen and ministers everywhere. In the race for this position were four other prominent and well known candidates. They were the Rev. R. W. Mance, presiding elder of the Beaufort district; the Rev. D. T. McDaniel of Spartansburg, one of the first college graduates of the school; the Rev. Sandy Simmons, D. D., presiding elder of the Georgetown district, an alumnus of the University of Michigan, and the Rev. J. E. Beard, an alumnus of the Georgia State University for Negroes. Dr. Beckett's election was made unanimous after the first ballot, the other candidates withdrawing in his favor. The concensus of opinion among the leaders of the church is that the administration of Dr. Beckett will be fruitful and that all forces in the state will be coupled for successful work. The Allen university is the pride of the negro people in South Carolina and is doing a great work. Connected with it is a board of 100 trustees, among whom are some of the many great preachers, school men and most substantial citizens of the state. The trustee's annual fee is $5 each. The school is conducted by church funds. Dr. Beckey being a man well known and popular with the masses throughout the United States, it is believed that his election will be the means of bringing additional funds to the school. He is an eloquent speaker, a man of great personality. Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta presided at the recent meeting. Bishop Turner has been recently appointed to South Carolina and was elected chancellor of Allen university. He gave 100 books to the library of Allen, and is laying plans for the erection of another building on the campus. Odds and Ends The man with a sense of humor is generally an all-round sensible fellow. To unravel an entangling alliance requires diplomacy of the highest order. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA East and west met at the Holborn restaurant in London, Eng., for the first reception held by members of the Nobodies club. Every nationality was to be found among the hundreds of nobodies and greetings were exchanged in a dozen languages. There are Hindoo nobodies, as well as Japanese, and negroes from Virginia, but each one is interested in art or literature, or some kindred occupation, so there is plenty to talk about. "Our object is to hasten the death of race hatred," said Mr. Charles Roshen, the secretary. "Another object is to promote friendships among interesting people who have slender means and few friends in London. "We have already about 500 members and are going to have suitable clubrooms somewhere in the West end as soon as we can." A very large amount of the lawlessness among us in the towns, cities, and country, grows not only out of the idleness of many of our young man and women, but also out of that "spare-the-rod" home training. Many adult yet today mistake mannishness in boys for manliness, and womanishness in girls for womanliness, and go on ignorantly praising them for the wrong virtues until it is too late. Hence the Saturday night and Sunday sussing, gambling, cutting, shooting, and all the killing scraps that are about us are prevalent as ever. You must respect the law or suffer the consequences—Allendale Advocate. It is very gratifying to learn that Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., a Savannah, Ga., boy, was elected at this session of the general conference of the A. M. E. church, assembled at Kansas City, Mo., by a large majority over his two opponents. His strongest opponent, Rev. A. L. Gaines, D. D., received 127 votes; his second opponent, Rev. C. M. Tanner, D. D., received one vote. Rev. Wright received 275 votes and was declared elected by the general conference. Rev. Wright succeeded also in electing the man he desired for manager, Rev. J. I. Lowe, of Hot Springs, Ark. The lesson which is probably difficult for the great majority of men to learn and the one failure to, learn which is a most fruitful source of discontent and dissatisfaction with life as we meet is in the lesson of self-dial. To relinquish at times the desire for present gratification to the end that we may be more able to satisfy future desires more abundantly is a distasteful engagement, and yet this is what must be done if we wish to attain to the envied standard of real independence.—The Demonstrator. How many young men in your community can you depend upon to take the places of the men who are managing the affairs of the church and the school and the state when these older men have passed away? The nation must have men of character and ability to rule in its affairs. Can we point to the boys and young men about us and say they will meet the requirements?—The Torchlight. The man who manufactures a falsehood to injure his neighbor, or who circulates the falsehood after it is made, is blacker at heart than the assassin who hurks in the dark to strike town the unsuspecting passbyer. There is no character so vile as the liar and the slanderer.—The Torch Light. The striking improvement our women are making in the art of caring for their "crowning glory," has been commented on thuswise by Uncle Rucker: "The colored folks have to fight foes from without, foes from within, and they also have to keep fighting their hair." The M. E. general conference did not elect a negro bishop, but it did elect President W. P. Thirkeld of Howard university to the bishopric, Dr. Thirkeld has spent the greater part of his life in uplift work for the negro. Did you ever stop to think that the opinion that you have of yourself may not be shared by any one else? You may be the only one who thinks about yourself that way.—Interstate Reporter. Saul strode among his fellows taul by many cubits, but he was deprive of the crown of Israel. A drought of cold water will often prove effective in restoring a drunk man to sobriety. The tightest place in which an individual can get is that from which he can't escape. In drawing threads for Mexican work or hematitching it saves much time and trouble to draw the thread from the middle of the space first; after this two threads, one on each side of the drawn one, may be pulled out at once. The very best remedy for a bruise is butter. Whenever one of the children has a fall or knock of any kind, apply butter. This relieves the pain, prevents swelling and keeps the hurt place from turning black and blue. It is a very simple salve and one that is always in the house. Editor and proprietor, THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, O. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The Gazette is thirty years old, to day! Tell your friends to subscribe for a true race paper and advocate— "the old reliable." "The dean of the Afro-American editorial corps" thanks Henry A. Boyd, recording secretary of the National Afro-American Press Association, for an invitation to serve as one of the speakers on the program for the annual meeting to be held in Chicago, Ill., August 21, 22 and 23, 1912. The national Republican party ought to be great and powerful enough to force the retirement of Candidates Taft and Roosevelt, and not simply give the presidency to the Democrats at this fall's election as the direct result of a "multiplicity" of candidates. More and worse still is the fact that southern Democracy is dominating the national Democratic party, and has named Woodrow Wilson, a southerner, as the latter's candidate, this year, the first time since the war of the rebellion. The editor of The Gazette in indebted to Frederick L. Taft, Esq., of this city, president of the State Bar Association, for a copy of his address to that body at its annual meeting, July 9, 1912, on the work of the Ohio Constitutional Convention. We are also indebted to the Hon. Chas. H. Graves, secretary of state, for a bound copy of his annual statistical report to the Governor and the General Assembly of Ohio. And to the National Republican Committee for a printed copy of the platform adopted at the recent Chicago convention. Thanks, gentlemen, for the remembrance. Our people of Cleveland ought not to forget for a moment the fact that there is a principle, vital to the progress of the race in this community, involved in the fight on that Luna Park, August 1, "celebration," our best people in this city are making. Show your manhood and womanhood, self and race respect by not only remaining away from the Park that day but by getting every other member of the race you can, to do likewise, and keep it up until the Park management stops drawing color-lines, or is made to do so by some of our people through the medium of the courts. Be MEN AND WOMEN! OUR THIRTIETH YEAR! With this issue, "the old reliable' Gazette enters upon the thirtieth year of its continuous publication; every week on time. From the beginning, it has been edited and managed by the writer who can hardly realize that so long a time "in the saddle" has elapsed. The Gazette's successful efforts to wipe out the remnants of Ohio's "Black Laws", years ago; to enact Ohio's Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, are well-known to all of our people, particularly those here in Ohio. What it has also done, in hundreds of instances, to help and defend and encourage our people, is also well known. Personal interests have always been subordinated to those of our people. Its call to Afro-Americans, in season and, is never to accept anything in the way of treatment, less than that due all citizens, and too, without reference to class or color. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the north, we have always been unalterably opposed to a "doctrine of surrender" or conciliatory policy, and shall continue to be so. The Gazette believes in demanding for the people, in this section to fight for the unsecured, all that is due all American citizens under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! The Gazette's firm adherence to principle, through all these years, is its best recommendation for a larger support. The lack of sufficient patronage is the only thing that has prevented the doubling of the size of the paper and making other improvements, we have greatly desired for years. Here is where our faithful following, thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the great lakes to the gulf, can afford us material assistance, if they will. Urge your friends and acquaintances to subscribe for The Gazette and by the first of the year double our circulation. For all you have done in past years, we thank you and assure you of our thorough appreciation. TAFT AND "THE BLACK BATTALION." In a speech, in the east room of the White House, on July 19th, to a delegation of Afro-Americans representing the National Independent Political League, President Taft said in referring to the Afro-American delegates to the recent National Republican convention at Chicago: "I want to say to you delegates how much I appreciate your standing firm in my be- half at a time when it was intimated to the country that we could not depend upon you. You demonstrated there your appreciation of the accomplishments of the Republican party for your race in the past and your abiding faith in its future friendships; they stood like a solid rock." The delegates asked the President for the restoration of "The Black Battalion," and urged the president to recommend a federal statute against lynching. Mr. Taft said in reply that he had done everything possible under the law in regard to the Twenty-fifth infantry. He deplored lynchings, he said, but did not believe the federal government could interfere in the states with criminal cases. President Taft's public expression of gratitude to the Afro-American delegates to the recent National Republican Convention, "pledged and instructed for him," who stood with the Taft forces through the fight, FALLS FLAT, and mighty flat at that, when in the very next breath, he says he has done everything possible under the law in regard to "The Black Batallion." Ex-President Roosevelt said in a recent Ohio speech what every one knows, and that is that "under the law" President Taft has the right and the power to restore every one of those 167 innocent Roosevelt-Taft "lynch-murdered" men whenever he sees fit to do so. WHO IS LYING—ROOSEVELT OR TAFT? The support of those Afro-American delegates at Chicago, in the face of his "new southern policy" and the vitally injurious precedent it established also in many other avenues of the public service and treatment of our people here in the north as well as the south; and his southern-rebel Democratic (majority) appointments to the U. S. Supreme Court, is enough to make President Taft or most any one else in his position believe that Afro-Americans are a race of "mutton-heads," or "mutts" for short. Those delegates had the opportunity of their lives to render the race lasting service of the most valuable kind, and failed utterly to rise to the occasion, so busy were they doing the bidding of their white political bosses (federal office-holders), all the time hugging the same old forlorn hope and delusion that some time, in the dim misty future, political "crumbs" in the shape of petty jobs would fall their way as a result of their loyalty to Taft instead of to the race they were members of and ought to be ashamed ever to face. The following is pertinent: In an interview, Dr. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia, recently said: "As we look over this country, we can see the many manifestations of color prejudice. In the North it is becoming rampant, and it is requiring all our energies to keep the virus from spreading too far. In the South we are disfranchised and many acquiesce. Even some of our own leaders seemingly temperate with race prejudice. I attended the recent Republican National Convention at Chicago, and now where have I noticed more regretfully the impotence of the race. Not only in the exciting times there did the Colored delegates exact anything for the general welfare of the race, they appear to be doing the same. During the lull in the convention white men were called upon to deliver addresses but not a Colored man. I thought of the days of Frederick Douglass, N. Wright Cuney, Blanche K. Bruce, Robert B. Elliott and John R. Lynch, and reflected that not one of the old-time conventions would have met without asking at least one of those who attended. All of the delegates would have listened to with respect and profit. What we need now is the development of this type of men who will not only demand respect, but who will contend for the highest interests of the race." Taft is right, however, in what he says anent the federal government's lack of will or power to interfere in the states with criminal cases, the result of lynchings. The Gazette has repeatedly, in recent years and months, called attention to the fact that our people who are seeking legislation against mob violence and lynching, must follow our lead in Ohio as Illinois has done and get STATE legislation against this evil, and stop wasting time and energy "howling" at the Congress for something the President, and others, know full well they will never get. THE CUBAN REVOLUTION. At the present outlook the insurrection in Cuba seems to have succumbed. Some American papers profess to believe, that "this is the last attempt" in the matter. The Westliche Post of St. Louis, a leading German-American journal, doubts the correctness of this view, while the Chicago Abenpost (German) sees the "beginning of the end of the Cuban Republic", in these struggles. This paper points out, that "the warful acts of the Cuban Negroes were not so dangerous as to warrant the sending of warships by the United States to the scene", nor were the properties of "foreigners" (mainly Americans) really in such danger of destruction, or the lives of these foreigners in such danger as to warrant the action of our Government." This paper rather assumes, that the "jingo" press made much of the matter in order to prepare the American people for anexation later on, and that the island is to be made a "white man's" Government. "This the Cuban Negroes do not like, as one can readily understand; but they will have to submit eventually", it says. The Abenpost evidently does not approve of such an immoral procedure of "this" American republic, if we read correctly between its lines. But neither "our" government nor our "people" seem to have any scruples in this "problem's game." Perhaps the Cuban revolutionists will spoil the game. Wait! The contention of certain Spanish-Cuban papers, edited by American tools of avaricious trusts, that the American Republic, when forming in 1775, guarded against allowing its Negro population—not insignificant in some states—any share in the war for independence, is either based upon falsification of history or the result of ignorance of those making it. Crispus Attucks, who shed the first blood in that war, had many Colored com- patriots and some "fine fellows among them", as Baron Schloezer, the Prussian statesman on our shores, wrote home (See Bancroft History of the United States.) It is true Washington was at first loth to employ slaves — or enlist free Negroes—in the cause, but he later on changed his opinion and did receive black men into his army. So did, later on, General Jackson in the Seminole War, and we all know the conspicuous part played in the Civil War by Negroes, of whom 186,017 were employed as soldiers in the Union Army, taking part in some 449 engagements, a number of which were battles of importance. They always acquitted themselves well—this part of the Spanish ("American") argument is weaker than a reed in the wind! BUCKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIEABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

Make the tising they are It is rather difficult at this distance to prognosticate the trend of affairs, or rather the shape they will assume in Cuba. But the American people, of course mainly Afro-Americans, will do well to keep their eyes on the hands of Washington, D. C. The result of the present Presidential campaign will have a bearing on this question also—both in Cuba itself as in its reaction in our country. What strikes the writer as strange is that the socialists who made such a noise about the Mexican revolutionists whose aims hardly touched our politics as much as the Cuban revolution does, are so quiet—so "mum" on this question. Their only representative in Congress, Mr. Berger, who has made himself a figure in the "limelight" on so many "questions" of the "hour", is so reticent on this question, that is not a momentary one but one of principle and far-reaching result, as to prompt the view that Negroes do not concern much the "white" socialistic party particularly, although it is the real socialistic party I mean—the party of the proletariat de facto in the United States and Cuba, it is the Colored proletariat preeminently! In the next Congressional session this matter must come up. Then the parties will have to show their hands. EDITORIAL / RON M. AN EDITORIAL "BON MOT."

The fish were caught while the vessel was engaged in trawling in the North sea. Fish-curers and experts state that they have never seen this species before. It has the appearance of a herring, but the head is pointed and the tail forked, while the eye covers the whole side of the head. Being Practical. Practical people are wise people. Genius may create brilliant ideas, and be of a very active turn of mind, but money makes the mare go, and what practical people really wish is to have a pot, to have that full of potatoes, and to have fire enough to make the pot boil.

One man was seriously hurt late Tuesday in a riot at the Luna park ball grounds which started when a policeman tried to compel a spectator to climb down off his perch on the fence. Several of the man's friends came to his rescue. A half dozen officers, park policemen and city patrolmen.

Our people should turn out en masse to this meeting, and we will speak to speeches and gain much valuable information. Rev. E. H. Smith, pres., and Rev. G. A. Sissle, sec. The Citizens' Rights league executive committee heartily endorses this mass meeting and urges all the members of the organization to attend. The opening is 7:30 p. m. you should standard. Remember — MONDAY EVENING! Before the July 1 color-line-discriminations at Luna Park, the management of the place, had posted a sign with large letters near the exit gate announcing that COLORED PEOPLE were to use the park on that date. The sign was in case the Irish, German and other classes. And in the face of THAT announcement our people were treated shamefully, as we have repeatedly shown, at the dance-hall and roller-skating rink, that day. How can you go to such a place and spend your hard-earned money? Stay away! There was a sign on the wall at Luna Park, Saturday, which announced that Negroes have the use of it August 1, thus notifying whites to "sidestep" the park that "jimcrow" day. Do not be "jimcrowed" after any such fashion, that day, even to please Negroes—the Cleveland Association for Negroes—meet them and white individuals. Tell your friends to stay away from Luna Park, August 1. The Ministers' Alliance meeting, Tuesday morning, at Cory M. E. church study, was another very interesting one. Rev. J. C. Patton of indianapolis; Rev. T. F. Harper of Newberry, S. C., Dr. J. K. Nickens, Geo. W. Johnson, Rev. D. A. Walker of Mt. Sterling, Ky., Rev. Bailey, Smith, Shille and Snelson addressed the Alliance. All except the first named, denounced the Luna Park August organization in the past, saying that the hundreds of 'dollars the Association had made, was used to employ celebration speakers, and to hold "lyceums" where white men were the speakers who could further the personal or business or professional interests of the few individuals who really constitute the organization for social affairs, entertaining speakers &c., who came here from the city and who would return this social treatment whenever any of the few members of the Association visited their cities; he showed the churches, other organizations and the Old Folk's home! were "worked" with the August 1 celebrations (each year) instead of helping the organization for social affairs. Much other information along these lines was given by him, and he wound up his long and interesting talk with comment on the individuals, who pose as leaders of the alleged organization, that made the ministers "sit up and take notice". He pleaded for a higher moral tone of leadership in all local racial affairs, particularly of a public nature, and said that it was high time our ministers and all of our good people should put help to the organization for a certain few individuals who are continually forcing themselves into the public "lime-light" through the medium of public entertainments, some of the lodges, and even a church or a mass. The mass meeting for Monday evening was decided upon and all the ministers urged to see that their congregations were in attendance. The visiting ministers and all of the ministers united in the nunciation of the much advertised Luna Park August 1 affair. Preserve your self and race respect, and stay away from that celebration, was their and all of the ministers' slogan, Tuesday morning. DO NOT GO TO LUNA PARK, AUGUST 1. This public place of amusement has been drawing color-lines for many months. Only recently three or four hundred of our people were grossly insulted and humiliated before hundreds of whites in that park. There is hardly a member of the race, in this city, who does not know this. Then how in the name of common-sense, self and race respect can the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, supposedly intelligent members of the race, justify their action in attempting to hold an "emancipation celebration" in Luna Park on August 1? It is not enough to say that on that day our people will be granted all the privileges of the place, except possibly the bathing or swimming pool, because on the other three hundred or more days of the year the park is open, they are barred from the dance floor, roller-skating rink, and possibly other places, when whites, matters not how low or degraded they may be, are using them. What makes this all the more irritating and aggravating is the knowledge of the fact that our people have it in their power—because they have the law—to put a stop to all such unlawful discrimination in this city and state, and are making absolutely no effort to do so in, at least, this Luna Park case. We here and now call on all of our local ministers who have the race's vital interests at heart and who have the courage to do so, to do their CLEAR DUTY, and that is to advise their congregations and all of our people they can reach, to retain their self and race respect by staying away from Luna Park on August 1, 1912. It does seem strange, passing strange, that any people, under such circumstances, could be found outside of an asylum, who would carry hundreds of dollars of their hard-earned money and lay it in the laps of people, on any one day of the year, when they are so unlucky, unw lawfully and insultingly discriminated against on all other days of the year the place is open. Every other class, citizen or foreigner, low or otherwise, is welcomed in that park and permitted to enjoy all of its pleasures &c., if they but pay the price, and too, every day in the year that the park is open,—except ours. and there are Nerges who would submit to all of this and then go to that park, August 1, and spend their hard-earned money.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the lactic scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of the "Poro" it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons.

THE BOYS MAGAZINE MAY EXHIBIT DI WALTER CAMP Our Father's Teraphim 'A Sermon And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.—Genesis, 21:19. In her sudden flight Rachel had stolen her father's teraphy, images, or gods. The act was in itself dishonest and necessitated falsehood and deception to conceal it. And yet we must recognize, though the end sought for never justifies the use of unlawful means, that the theft proceeded from a landable desire. It might be said that her craftiness induced her to deprive her father of this important aid in divining the fugitives' whereabouts and effecting a successful pursuit. Her cupidity may have suggested that through the possession of her father's images she might secure the accompanying prosperity. But along with and over and above such base motives must have been the thought that in the new home in the strange land to which she was going there might be the need of something to keep her in touch with the old religious life—some outward and visible sign or symbol of the god or gods she had worshipped and served. After all she was but half heathen, saturated with superstition, and these teraphy were the very signs and symbols of her spiritual life and the means of strength and guidance, and she longed to possess them. Our heavenly father, it is true, seeketh such as will worship him in spirit and in truth. Not in Jerusalem in Gerazim is God to be worshipped, but is to be found of all who seek him. He dwelleth not in temples made with hands, but in the believer's heart. Sacraments are but means of grace. Signs and symbols are only valuable and helpful because of what they represent. But so long as man is man there will be the need for these outward and visible forms of the deeper spiritual verities. We are so constituted that we will, until this mortal puts on immortality, need our houses of God, our sacraments and other means of grace. Rites and ceremonies, signs and symbols will ever have their place in the religious life of man. These things mean much to us and we do well to value them highly. When James I. of England sought the hand of the infanta of Spain for his son Charles, being of different households of faith, the consent of the pope was refused until satisfactory assurance was given that she would be allowed to worship God according to the customs of her fathers—that she be permitted to carry with her priest, altar, mass and all that represented and made up her religious life. The puritan fleeing to the land of liberty carried with him his open Bible and distinctive religious beliefs and is today usually portrayed with that Bible under his arm or the psalter in his hand. In the days of the commonwealth, when the Puritan was in the ascendancy, the churchman was proscribed and forced into hiding. But he carried with him his prayer book and, forbidden though it was, worshiped God according to its formularies. Men do not lightly forsake their beliefs and traditions and we are what we are largely because we have inherited "our fathers' gods." Church and incarnations, rites and ceremonies, signs and symbols, creeds and confessions of faith, all have a part, and a very large one, in our religious life, and for all they represent to us, for the help they impart, for the love we bear them and the veneration we feel for them, we do well to take with us through life these our fathers' teraphim. It may be possible for one to become so spiritual, so superior to the material that no need is felt for ritual or ceremonial to appeal to the eye or ear. But most of us need these teraphim—outward and visible agencies through which we both learn of God and receive strength from him. The ministry of the old church in the new land, the familiar sights and sounds of ritual and ceremonial have saved many an immigrant from the homesickness which was proving well-night unendurable. Though far from home and surrounded by strangers, he is not alone—he has found his household of faith, he has not left his father's God behind. The developer of real estate recognizes this desire to carry one's religious life to the new home and offers favorable terms to the congregation seeking a site for a church building, while the homeseeker looks favorably upon the development which offers him a spiritual home after the manner of his fathers. During these summer months, when thousands seeklearning pleasure and rest for mind and body will turn to the mountains, the seashore or country, how many will carry their teraphy to these temporary homes? Will the necessity to church be taken into consideration in the making of plans? Is it not true that many leave behind the accomodated alds to their religious life and neglect the outward manifestations of the faith that is within them? The Bible is forgotten, or if taken is left in the trunk. All devotional reading is neglected. Diversions are many, and the ordinary routine of life is changed. Consequently family prayers are practically impossible, that the individual morning prayers are omitted or hurried through. And we make no secret of the fact that we desire a "rest" from the accustomed spiritual life. Attendance upon divine THE PRICE OF "SALAMMBO." It is exactly fifty years since the publication of Flaubert's "Salambo" and some correspondence has been disinterested showing what were the great novelist's emoluments for his masterpiece. He sold it for 10,000 francs, but he wrote to the correspondent to whom he gave the information: "Dell no one. Levy is going to boom 'Salambo', and send paragraphs to all the papers to the effect that he sold 10,000 francs for it." But 10,000 service, a pleasure and means of grace at home, becomes a "duty" when on a vacation, and we have promised ourselves that during our holiday we shall be free to do only what we desire. And more than that, "we are away from home seeking recreation, amusement and diversion—the old manner of life is laid aside and many things are done and left undone at variance with our accustomed habits. "No or we will notice it." "I am only a stranger here and my actions can influence no one." The professional man can lay aside all thought of client or patient and after a month or two return to his work the better for the rest, but it is not so with religion. "There is no discharge in that war." It is always "watch and fight and pray." The Christian is always on duty. Failure to attend church, the neglect of prayer and the various means of grace, the doing of things inexpedient (even if not unlawful), the lowering of the standard even for a few weeks, must prove harmful to the best of us. The vacation will prove as helpful; we will derive as much real enjoyment if we carry our teraphym with us and give an hour for church on Sunday, a few minutes daily for our devotions, make some effort to help others, and always strive to remember that our religious life should be as real away from as at home. It is the experience of many a country minister that "summer boarders" are frequently a positive injury to church work. Many will not attend service (they are in the country for a "rest"), and meeting their needs and demands make it impossible for their hosts to do so. So it is with many summer residents in country or suburbs. Though regular attendants at church the rest of the year, though zealous in good works at other times, late rising, Sunday guests, amusements of various kinds effectually prevent church-going, and the country church, the chapel in mountain or by the seashore lose the help and stimulus that could be given and also suffer positive injury from the example of indifference to things spiritual. The manner of life of the men and women who stand high in the professional, literary or social world at home is noted and commented upon and has an influence far beyond what is realized. The habit of imitation is great, footsteps are being followed, although the one who made them hears not nor sees behind. We do not need to take our terapim with us on our vacations to enable us to so live that while seeking rest and health for mind and body we do not injure or weaken our own souls nor cast stumbling blocks in the pathway of others.—Edward T. Helfenstein, Rector St. John's Church, Howard county, Maryland. RACE SINCE FREEDOM Forty-seven years ago, the colored people of Texas received news of their emancipation. At that time they hardly possessed their own clothes to wear. Today in Texas the colored people's holdings represent in value close to thirty millions of dollars. Forty-seven years ago there were hardly 5,000 colored people in Texas; today their population is over 800,000 (eight hundred thousand), having nearly 200,000 children of scholastic age, twenty institutions of learning, representing a value of about two million of dollars, with a total yearly attendance of over 6,000. Over two-thirds of the colored people in Texas live in the country, where the farms are productive. Nearly 100,000 farms are owned by colored people in Texas, with a value of over eleven million dollars. Colored labor is also a great factor in the state's progress, from the Red river to the gulf and from the Sabine to the Río Grande. The above are some things for which the race in Texas should feel proud of on the nineteenth of June; and it is to be hoped that all over this state the celebration be elevated to the occasion. In the whole United States the race has grown from four millions of people to tens of millions, representing a total wealth of nearly one billion dollars. In Galveston the population is close to 3,000, the total wealth being estimated now at over $800,000. There are about 100 colored people engaged in various business enterprises, etc., representing about $75,000 in investment. Over 200 homes owned in Galveston, three public schools and one Catholic school. Close to 2,000 colored men work on the Galveston wharf front during the busy season. RICHEST SODA DEPOSITS. Soda lake, situated at Magadil, British East Africa, is one of the richest soda deposits in the world, covering an area of more than 18 square miles and containing a quantity of soda estimated at 300,000,000 tons. As fast as the blocks of soda are removed from the surface the places fill again, and the natives claim that it is possible to work continually the same position for several consecutive years. With the primitive tools at hand the lake has been sounded to a depth of about nine feet and nothing but crystallized soda found. It is said that an English company with a capital of £1,000,000 will begin to exploit the deposit as soon as the Uganda railway reaches the district. HERRINGS AS FERTILIZER IN JAPAN. In Japan about 4,000,000 tons of hearings are caught every year. This enormous quantity is not by any means entirely used for human consumption. In fact, about four-fifths of the entire quantity is used as organic fertilizer for the rice fields. france is only £40, and "Salammabo" took Flaubert five years to write. His literary income, therefore, worked out at £80 a year, so that it was very fortunate for him that he possessed private means.—Westminster Gazette. BARRED FROM PRAISE.

Golden Text—Gather ye together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. Matt. 13: 30. Lesson Text—Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43. Commit vs. 27-29. Time—Autumn A. D. 28. Place— By the Sea of Galilee, near Capernaum. II. Two Crops Growing Together, 26-29 There are just two classes of men: "Sons of the kingdom," or "children of God," and "sons of the evil one" (v. 38 R. V., or "children of the devil" (l Jno 3: 10). The two classes are not always distinguishable or separable at the outset (vs. 29, 30), but they will be distinguished and separated when they are ripe, the one for heaven and the other for hell. But it will fortunately be the angels and not men who do the separating (v. 41). History furnishes countless instances of the devil's sowing tares among Christ's wheat (e.g. Jno. 13: 2; Acts 5: 3; 20: 29). Both history and the Word of God warn us against declaring that all that appears "among the wheat" must itself be wheat. While the tares were not distinguishable from the wheat until they began to grow, they were tars from the very first. There were those who wished to root up the tars at once, but the time was not ripe, nor were they competent to d' the task. There are those who in haste long to extirpate "the sons of the evil one" at once from the world, but the Master says, "Let them both grow together until the harvest." Premature separation, by religious persecution, would mean injury to wheat as this has abundantly proven. This parable does not forbid church discipline. "The field is"—not the church, but "the world" (v. 38). Church discipline is the命 (1 Cor. 5: 3-5; 2 Ro. 16: 17; 2 Thess. 4: 39). In the delay in separating the cf. the farm of God's long suffering (cf. 2 Peter 3: 9). II. Two Harvests, 30, 35, 36-41. Separation comes at last. It is "in the end of the age" (v. 39 R. V., Marg). "The reapers are the angels." They are to be the ministers of God's boundless grace towards "the sons of the kingdom" and the executioners of His wrath towards "the sons of the evil one." The tares are to be "gathered" and the wheat is to be "gathered," but the one for burning in the "furnace of fire," where there is incomposable grief and impotent rage (v. 42), the other into God's storehouse, "the kingdom of their Father," where A BEAR THAT SKATES. One of the very funniest and most unusual sights to be witnessed in London is a huge black bear on skates. Bears, as you know, are commonly supposed to be among the most awkward of living animals, but this particular brain is not nearly so clumsy as the average fat man just learning to skate. Perhaps the fact that he has been practicing for a long time, however, has something to do with the matter of his skill. "they shall shine forth as the sun." Is the fire literal? It is in the interpretation of the parable as well as in the parable itself. Evil is not to gradually disappear from the world, but to grow side by side with the wheat "until the harvest." Leading Questions—What does this lesson teach about Jesus Christ? The devil? Angels? The destiny of the righteous? The wicked? What is the best lesson? POETRY of and by Our People YOU OR I? If we could know Which of us, darling, would be first to go? Who would be first to breast the swelling side? And step alone upon the other side— If we could know! If it were you Should I walk softly, keeping death in view? Should my love to you more oft ex- side? Should I improve the moments slipping by? Should I more closely follow God's great plan, Be filled with sweeter charity to man— If it were I? If we could know! We cannot, darling, and 'tis better so. I should forget, just as I do today. And walk along the same old stumbling Which of us, darling, will be first to go. I only wish the space may not be long Between the parting and the greeting song. But when or where or how we're called to go- I would not know. -Every Saturday. SWEETEST THOUGHT OF JESUS The sweetest thoughts of Jesus Come stealing 'er my soul, Both in the midnight watches And when the sun doth roll; The sky doth move, the sky By storm-tossed Galilee, And I see Time's greatest Teacher As he walks beside the sea. I see the throngs before him Hang breathless upon his word; For never truths, so golden Before on earth were heard; The dark shadows fleeing before his face. And sadden, sin-cursed people Are healed and saved by grace. O wondrous, living Presence, Forever by my side; I love thy precious promise, "With thee I'll ever abide. And thee shall always see These things I'll bring again. How I have wrought and suffered To save the race of men." O blessed Holy Spirit. Though dark waves round me roll, I feel thine inward presence In chambers of my soul; And always I am ready Easily down to lay For just that sweet abiding For ever and a day! SOLITUDE Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and weep alone. For sad old earth must borrow its mithr and its own. It its own. Sing and the hills will answer; Sigh and its lost on the air The echoes rebound to joyful sound. But shirk from voicing care. Hejoice and men will seek you; Grieve and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasures. But they do not want your woe. Be glad and your friends are many; Be sad and you lose them all. They must to decline your nectared wine. But alone you must drink the gall. Feast and your halls are crowded; Fast and the world goes by. Succeed and give and it helps you to live. But no man can help you to die. They must to measure. For a large and lordly train. But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow alms of man. DAWN. Into the darkness comes the day; But not with sudden burst of splendor; The shadows are slowly driven away By torches of light that are faint and tender; At first a flush on the eastern sky— the perfect day cometh by and by. So to soul-darkness comes the day; The shadows of doubt and uncertainty linger. But slowly and surely they pass away Under the touch of faith's gentle finger, O, walk with hope in the light thou hast— To the perfect day thou shalt come at last —Exchange. One of the most recent applications of electricity which has come to our notice is that for ripening cheese, says the Scientific American. The use of electricity for maturing various articles of consumption, such as wines and alcoholic liquors, is not new, but Mr. 'Gokkes' method of applying an alternating current of two amperes and 10,000 volts for the purpose of ripening cheese appears to be so. The treatment, as described in Cocos, is continued for 24 hours, and is said to effect in this short time a complete ripening of the cheese. TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH. The temperature increases about 1 degree for every 60 feet as we penetrate into the interior of the earth. He wears extremely strong leather boots on his hind feet, and it is to these that his specially made skates are fastened. SCREEN DOORS AND WINDOWS. Screen the doors and windows of your home, especially those of the kitchen, dining room and pantry. If you cannot do this, at least screen the food itself, especially the milk, in which germs multiply with more than ordinary raplidity. Of Interest to Our Women FASHION NOTES. A striking gown just exhibited is of silver-gray satin charmeuse. It has a beautiful overdress of ninen in Chelsea-china green edged with a flat ruche of green silk shot with lavender. The yoke and sleeves are of perfectly plain seamless gray satin. Round the body, beneath the green ninen, is a corsetel, shaped like medieval armor, of silk arranged in equal stripes of black and white. This is extremely effective. The yoke and sleeves are finished with frills of gray net edged with a narrow band of green. A gray straw hat accompanied the dress. It was in a becoming turned-up shape rather of the Cavalier period, and was lined with plaited green and lavender shot silk with a plain border, which gives almost the effect of a different shade. Black lace was never so fashionable as at present, and, combined with black satin chiffon, makes up most charmingly. The present fashion of putting white net or lace under the black is much more becoming than the all black, and is very cleverly done, because it is not necessary to have it excepting about the neck or in the sleeves, thus making it more practical, if the economy point of view is being considered. Black chiffon over white lace is one of the favorite trimmings for the black gown. An afternoon grown that can also do duty for theater if the yoke and collar are taken out of the sleeves, and the upper part of the waist of white lace covered with black. This, as can easily be understood, is becoming, and so new that an old gown can be quite remodeled if trimmed according to this style. Another new and effective trimming this season is the blas band of soft satin or chiffon or the hemstitched edge of the plain chiffon. At one time this was relegated to mourning, but it has proved so becoming that it has been taken as trimming for every gown, with the difference that when not intended for mourning the chiffon is put over white lace instead of over white chiffon. It is very interesting to notice how some little touch like this will change the gown entirely. The reversible satin wraps are stunning with their effective color contrasts, and these wraps, though less elaborate in trimming than the taffeta models, have a dignity and grace that commend them to conservative women. Black satin, with a reverse of gold, makes a very handsome wrap of this sort which may be worn through the street over a bridge gown in the afternoon, if the occasion requires, as well as serving as a correct evening wrap. These reversible satin wraps are usually black on the outer side, with cerise, malze, chamols, hyacinth, or oremalad as a lining color; and the wrap is draped so that the gray color on the reverse side shows in turned-back revers and at the lower edge as the draped or cutaway front of the wrap falls into graceful folds at every movement of the wearer. Brocaded silks and crapes are much used for evening wraps by the French costumers this summer, one leader especially favoring this soft, brocaded stuff for his wonderful draped wraps. Tille, a golden mustard shade, peacock blue and dregs of wine are the favored colorings for such wraps, and the long lines, straight at the back from neck to heel and much draped up in front, are exceedingly graceful. The ratine weaves are also liked; and a khaki-colored ratine weave trimmed with black satin makes a most effective wrap. A wide range of colors is in vogue just now, to suit diverse tastes. Violet and pink alone and combined, blue gray in the same way, light charming greens, deep pinks for evening wear, any amount of black and white, much black alone, and much white alone, that is what we shall be wearing for months. Shot green is very popular with the young; it suits young faces. The chemisette appears, even though but an inch is seen under the collar. It is plain or gathered, and of contrasting material, and is generally becoming to models with or without collars. MODES FOR THE HAPPY. Every one knows how easy it is to look well—even distinguished—in mourning. Black, applied to the human being is a refiner; but the tints of the rainbow—which it seems, are to be in high favor this summer—are much more difficult to combine with the average countenance and the average form. High spirits are necessary to certain colors, such as rose, yellow or grass green; the more pensive puces and purples, lavenders and blues may be assumed when the vitality is lower and the outlook of life is a trifle pessimistic. The effect which has been almed at of late, of gorgeous sunsets dimmed by clouds, is a compromise of essentially modern origin. It synthesizes the ends we aim at in dress, to express moods and emotions, as well as the needs and activities of the hour. The prudent woman with the lean purse does not invest her all in a hat of so triumphantly gay a trimming that she cannot put it on when she is wearing it. The prudent woman that it must be sober of outline and suited to all mobs. There are many fash- A MARK OF DISTINCTION. "I attended a party last night where some of the most prominent society people in this town were present." "Oh, there's nothing so wonderful about that. I have often attended parties where prominent society people were present." "But this was a very exclusive affair. The young ladies were all beautiful debutantes." "That's nothing to boast about. I've attended such parties, too." ions for the young and happy, but it requires tact and experience to know when to seek their aid. Perhaps one of the greatest trials of the young and inexperienced housewife is the weekly struggle over the various tradesmen's bills, which almost without exception, seem to come to considerably more than the sum on which she had reckoned. The first great point is, whenever possible, to insist on the bills being settled weekly, for otherwise, if once the young mistress falls behind, it is almost impossible for her to extricate herself and get her accounts straight again. Besides, it is so very much more simple to keep a check on things if the bills are paid up weekly, for if a mistake has been allowed to run for a month unnoticed, it is much more difficult to prove it. Of course, in the case where a store cupboard is available, it is better to lay in a monthly supply of certain commodities which keep perfectly well; but, apart from that, it is best to begin with the principle of a weekly reckoning and adhere to it. Now, although the young housewife may start with a very tolerable knowledge of how meat can be cut up and the prices of the different parts, it by no means follows that she thoroughly realizes the average allowances of the different things required in the way of food for a household, and she would therefore do well to make a point of learning this, and then she can see for herself whether the weekly bills are fair or not. For instance, she must have some idea of the average amount of butter required for the ordinary kind of sauces, cakes, etc., and also see that dripping is properly clarified and used for frying. Unless she knows these things it will be difficult for her to put her finger on the extravagance, for the cook who sees her mistress has no knowledge of these points is very apt, being human, to put the consumption of extra butter and such like things down to these causes', and the mistress, knowing nothing of what is required in the way, will be unable to contradict her. The meat question is often a vexed one, for the amount consumed seems often so entirely out of proportion to the presumed appetites of the household, and yet apparently the meat is eaten. The housekeeper, however, may be quite certain that anything over one pound of meat daily a head is wanton waste, and for the most part half a pound to three-quarters of a pound a head daily is ample, especially if the household is composed of more than five people. All orders should be entered in a book kept by the mistress, and the bills sent by the various tradesmen carefully preserved and compared with the book when sent in at the beginning of the week. Some butchers are over fond of sending more meat than is desired, and if this little idiosyncrasy is allowed to pass unnoticed it may mount up at the end of the week. Then, too, the meat will often be badly cut and the inferior parts sent. Therefore when repeatedly more meat comes from the butcher than has been ordered the tradesman's attention should be called to this and the point made clear by the mistress that she knows what she wants and intends to have that sent, and not what the butcher chooses to send her. There is no doubt that it is the housekeeper who knows exactly what she requires, and shows that she intends having it, who invariably is the best treated, for the tradesman soon realizes when it is worth while giving his best attention to a customer. EMBROIDERED SASHES. With the return of the directore fashions comes the inevitable sash. Most women will welcome this fact, for sashes greatly improve any frocks with which they are worn. Black velvet or satin is the material most favored for the sash-girdle. The wide waist belt is formed of soft folds. The long sash ends are of odd lengths, falling from the side or back of the dress. These ends may be embroidered with plain black, or in colors, using an Arabian design. The corners may be rounded or cut diagonal. Fringe is sometimes used to border the ends. A charming sash to wear with sheer lingerie frocks was of palest pink satin, the first tint from the ivory-white. This was pleated in soft folds about the waist and caught at the left side by a garland of smallest pink and blue rose-buds and foliage fashioned of ribbon. NEW EFFECTS Transparent effects and semi-transparencies are the vogue of the moment, and in evening attire are somewhat daring in style, particularly when the ninon or chiffon bodice is cut with Maygar sleeves and worn over a very low, sleeveless slip closely fitted to the wearer. A gown of flesh colored charmeuse draped with chiffon arranged in this fashion is quite startling. The most exquisite pale colorings, both in taffetas and dull satin, are used with ninon, marquisette and embroidered net. "Yes, but there was another remarkable thing about it." "What was that?" "They didn't dance the grizzly bear or the bunny hug or any of the rest of the dances that the police have been suppressing." THAT'S NOT THE IDEA. The literature you find in a doctor's anteroom never makes you feel any better. 5828 The charming dress shown in this design is simplicity itself in fashioning. The waist is cut with body and sleeves in one and the skirt is a four-fored model. The stylish front-closing is featured. The design is excellent for development in pongee, tafetta, mobair, linen, plique, and other pretty wash materials. Insertion of orald may be used to trim the waist is pictured. The pattern (5528) is cut in sizes 12 to 16 inches, bust measure. Meilium size requires 5½ yards of 36 inch material and 2 yards of insertion. To procure this pattern, send 10 cents to 'Pattern Department' of this paper. Write note on envelope and be sure to give a number and number of pattern. FRONT Here is a corset cover designed for the miss and small woman that is quite simple to make, as it is cut in one piece. At the waist line a tape is inserted to regulate the fullness. The front edges of the corset-cover meet, and these are finished with underfascias for closing. Beading is sewed to the neck edge and ribbon is inserted to regulate the fullness or the edges may be scalloped and embroidered, as illustrated. Lawn, batiste, cambric nailsook or long cloth may be used. The pattern (5810) is cut in sizes 14, 16 and 18 years. Medium size requires $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards of 36 inch material, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards of beading for neck edge and $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards of ribbon.

A tall, thin man, with one eye, made his way into the office of Amos K. Klam, the prosperous banker. "Let me have $10,000 and I will repay you when you need it most." stated the visitor. With a sigh of benevolence, Amos K. Klam handed over the money. Ten years later Amos K. Klam was in distress. He needed just $10,000 to save him from disgrace. A tall, thin man, with one eye, appeared. "You are Amos K. Klam?" said the visitor. "Yes, yes," exclaimed the banker. "Heaven has sent you." "Correct," said the visitor, as he drew for a great wallet. "I have here a work that will interest you. It is the history of the world in 69 volumes—profusely illustrated—bound in morocco—edited by Prof. Highrow. Our terms—" But Amos K. Klam had fainted. Odious Comparison. "You have the greatest collection of animals since the one Noah put on the ark," said the admiring friend. "Noah!" repeated the circus magnate, scornfully.
