A Close Study Of the Habits and Customs of Our People. The Social and Domestic Relations of the Colored People, Peculiarly Among Themselves. VOL. XII. A Close Of the Habits and Customs and Domestic Relations Peculiarly Amo A close study of the habits and customs of our people with the language and institutions from which the conclusion may be drawn as to the status of our civilization is indeed a great question. First of all there are many lines of differences among us, and the reasons for such differences are obvious. Many of our better classes have been driven to themselves by the criminal prosecution of others along the line of gossip criminal arraignment and unfounded charges, which tend to scandalize and weaken their influences in the community in which they live. We say for this reason, many of the people have been driven so to speak, to themselves. The ministers in all the pulpits should take a stand against the cheap gush which is so prevalent among our people by showing the inconsistency of such people with the christianity they profess to have, that going from house to house on their wicked mission of gossip is not only unchristian, but is criminal, and is a great drawback to the progress of our people. Some of them seem to take great delight in being the originators of something new, even though it may be a lie of their own make, they seem to glory in telling it, and if brought to account they stand convicted of the most heinous crime that can be committed in the civilized land. The remedy for such habits is that every family should carefully study the character of those whom they would admit as their associates, or invite into their company. False friends are our worse enemies they in sheep's clothing enter our confidence, and like wolves destroy us if trusted. This is a condition that is apalling among us. It is found to exist in our best churches and is a menace to the progress of our social and domestic life. We very often rush to secular papers with damaging charges against ourselves and our own interests, which tend to varify the opinion of others about us, and helps lower the general public to understand that we are in any way defending crime doers among us, but that those who feel called upon to go to the secular presses should name their man or men, and not make --- Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRO RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL e Study of Our People.

We believe that any man or woman who is guilty of crime should be apprehended and punished, but we believe that we should learn to see good in others and believe them to be gentlemen and ladies until they are proven guilty of some crime by their peers. Just in proportion as we respect ourselves, we are apt to respect others. The rule is: "Do unto others as you would have them do to you." The Church has lost its power, it seems. If it has, it can be largely traced to the habit of gossip. The man or woman who scours the town with inflamed tongues, firing every home and every person against the other home and the other person, and then stand up in love feast or in general class, telling the church that they are Christians and that they are doing the bidding of their Master in heaven, destroys the confidence of the outside world in the religion of Christ, and hence the church looses its power as a moral institution. The truth is, that Christians are disgusted with such practices and many of them sit in wonder with their mouths closed while these gossipers are ranting and shouting the praise of themselves; for certainly they are not praising God, but are astounding many of the humble Christians who are trying to live upright lives. The churches about Nashville, many of them, have grown cold, lost as it were their first love, and hence are drags—a struggle for existence, while others through the efforts of their pastors, hard preaching, house to house canvass, are forging forward, but the work is tedious and is beset with great danger. It is not that the grace of God in instruments of clay has lost its power, but the grace is not in them, and hence the instrument has no power and is ineffective. God himself is powerless with unbelievers and liars, and hence, there is nothing to work through. Let us therefore lay aside every weight and the sins which doth so easily beset us and run the race with patience which set before us, looking unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith.—Sunday School Monitor. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1906. Stephen Bates, an Afro-American, has been chief of police and sheriff of Vergennes, Vermont for twenty-six consecutive years. He is a Virginian by birth and is sixty-four years of age. Dr. Booker T. Washington took lunch last week with Earl Grey, Governor General of Canada, in Ottawa, and on his return to New York City was the guest of Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, the wife of the multi-millionaire, at tea. Cape Town, Cape Colony, Feb. 9th. The demands of the colored inhabitants of the transvaal and Orange River colonies for full political rights are becoming more insistent. The African Colored Political Association, representing all South Africa, is preparing a monster petition to King Edward, asking for all the political rights enjoyed by whites, which will be presented in London by a deputation of colored men from South Africa. Warhington, Feb. 19.—The supreme court of the United States to-day affirmed the decision of the court of criminal appeals of Texas. Martin, who is a Negro, is under sentence of death upon the charge of murdering C. L. Swackhammer at Fort Worth in 1903. He appealed his case to the supreme court upon the charge of murdering C. L. Swackhammer at Fort Worth in 1903. He appealed his case to the supreme court upon the charge that he was discriminated against in his trial and that no men of his race were summoned to sit upon the jury. Justice Harlon, who delivered the opinion of the court, said there was no evidence to sustain the charge of race discrimination. Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 16. David Jones, a Negro, entered a clothing store in this city and bought a pair of suspenders for 25c. He made the purchase just as the cashier was wrapping up the day's cash receipts to take to the bank. She used the same kind of paper to wrap up the money and the suspenders and got the two packages mixed. As a result the Negro got $1,600 and the girl gave the suspenders to the manager to take to the bank. After the mistake was discovered the whole store force turned out to watch trains and depots, but to no avail. At 5 o'clock Jones walked into the store with the money, his wife having discovered the mistake on opening the package. Howdy, Honey, Howdy. BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR.

Let your work be fine; each stroke you make With mallet and chisel, be true and firm, And remember that all in life have a stake And must work to win and with patience learn. By working hard in Life's great fight, And having a purpose firm and true, Though downcast at morning, you're up at night. 'Tis the only way this world to get through. Be a man!

Parkers chef on the Santa Fe is in the La Junta private hospital under treatment. He no doubt will go through a slight operation. The Bachelor's den is much grieved over the loss of their father and it is much feared by the community that the oldest son will leave for the ranch. Mr. and Mrs. George Gross of Rocky Ford were agreeably surprised by Mesdames Scott, Badgett, Marshall, Johnson and Davis who took their lunch and spent the day. Mesdames Scott and Badgett were so enthused over the little city until they have decided to invest in property there, they will leave for that city next week. Cardonzo Collins of La Junta, left for Pueblo Tuesday morning where he will start in business of his own. He is 73 years of age and a more generous, kindhearted old gentleman, one could not wish to find. When Mr. Collins left this city we feel as though we have lost our purest gem, for he has not only been a father to us all but he has lived a constant christian and was for peace, happiness and prosperity which is an exemplary life that all should follow. He has been the life of whatever he mingled in. As a singer, his melodious voice was always admired. The people of La Junta wish him joy and success in his new location.

In the State Oratorical Association NEW FOOD LAW TALKING BY MAIL. Phonograph Records Shaped Like Pos. tal Garde, Instead of sending a cold and more or less formal written letter to a dis- tant loved one, it is now possible to send by mail a verbal message, which may be as warm and thrilling as the sender desires, says a writer in the March number of the Technical World Magazine. ‘This has been made possible by the invention of three Frenchmen, MM. Bucherloux, Marotte and Tocnow, who People now ¢emand the right to know exactiy what they eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food is “pare” is not satisfactory. Candy may contain “pure” white clay or “pure” dyes and yet be very harmful. Syrups may contain “pure” glucose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or doracie acid as a necessary preserva- tive, which may agree with one and be harmful to another. ‘Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn flour and really be improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious, ‘The person who buys and eats must protect himself and family, and he has a right to, and now demands, a law under_which he can make intelligent Selection of food. Many pure food bills have been in- troduced and some passed by State leg- islatures; many have been offered to Congress, but all thus far seem objec- tionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble to retailers. No gov't commission or officer has the right to fix “food standards,” to define what the people shall and shall not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another, and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal Uberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors (the re- tail grocer), and, guided by this experi- ence have prepared a bili for submis- sion to Congress which is intended to accomplish the desired ends, and inas- Much as a citizen of the U. 8. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State, it is deemed proper that the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national Jaw to govern all the states. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced. See. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other- wise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also inclose c printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg., and inasmuch as the retailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as a guarantee of his selling the food as it is represented to him, which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly be- longs. ‘The remaining sections explain them- selves. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., for ex- ample, have from the beginning of its existence printed on the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum:and Grape- Nuts food a truthful and exact state- ment of what the contents were made of in order that the consumer might know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy, for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost, but a further right to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he may be will- ing to buy at less cost a jelly made part of fruit juices, sugar and a por- tion of glucose. But he must be sup- plied _with truthful information of the ingredients and be nermitted to nse Re paren ot Mrasse 6 olanh hth. food accurately.

Yon may not be able to go personally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent you Remember the Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district and {f a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he secures a very sure guide to duty, Re- member also that the safety of the people is assured by insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for selfish interests. This pure food legislation ts a pure movement of the people for public pro- tection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by de- ceiving and injuring the people, There- fore, if your M2presentative in Con- gress evades his patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability, and if necessary demand equitable and hon- est service, This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legislation of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interes!) of the country demanded legislation to kill the oleomargarine industry ‘and by power of organization forced class lez- islation really unworthy of a free yeo- ple. Work people wanted beef suet butter becauso it was cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation. ‘The law should have provided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear the statement of ingredients und then let people who desire purchase it have perfected a phonograph record of sifficient hardness to go through the mails, withstand the hard usage of the post, ‘and be ready to voice the mes- sage it contains upon delivery at its destination. A material ‘called “sonorine,” which has all the advantages of wax, and the added quality of being indestructible, is spread upon cards, which conform to postoffice regulations and require- ments. ‘Then the chemically prepared card is laid flat, and the voice is thrown into a small funnel, through which it passes to the registering nee- dle. The record {s made by a spiral, for just what it is, and not try to kill {t by a heavy tax. Manufacturers some- times try to force measures in their own interests, but contrary to the in- terests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary to the in- terests of the people as a whole. Wit- ness the anti-injunction bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or de- stroying property. Such a bill is per- haps the most infamous insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress and the Represen- tatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acts re- lating thereto. But when bills come before Congress that are drawn in the interests of all the people they should Teceive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens, The Sena- tors also should be written to and in- structed.

Story of Attack on Missionaries at Nanchang, China. Shanghai.—The following account of the recent attack on foreign missionaries at Nanchang, a city of 1,050,000 inhabitants, has been received: Fifteen Methodists, twelve English Protestants and fourteen French Catholic missionaries were in the city on last Thursday night when the French Catholics had a quarrel with an official over a suit for the possession of property. Great excitement prevailed on Friday. A mass meeting was held on Saturday and was followed on Sunday by a riot, during which the property of the Catholics was burned. The Protestants took refuge in the adjoining house of Mr. Kingman. The house was burned, and six priests and two of the Kingman family were killed. The Chinese governor attempted to check the riot and rescue the missionaries. The men of the Methodist mission, aided by Chinese soldiers, took their school girls to Chinese homes in the city and brought Misses Hoyt and Kahn from a hospital. All took refuge in mid-river, in a launch which was furnished by Chinese officials. The launch waited until Chinese soldiers brought the remaining missionaries at daylight on Monday. The launch reached Kiukiang on Tuesday. The wounded Kingman girl died on the way. Chinese could have blocked the passage of the launch during the twelve hours' journey down the narrow, shallow river, but they were friendly. Quirmbach, a Methodist, remained at Nanchang to care for property. He is under the protection of the governor and is probably safe. Lewis wired Consul General Rodgers at Shanghai on Sunday, warning of the disaster, and wired the facts to Bishop Bashford on Monday. Captain Fletcher, commanding the American ships, had the location of every American missionary in the Yanktse valley. After consultation on Monday, Captain Fletcher ordered the gunboat El Cano from Nanking to meet the fugitives at Kiukiang or Poyang lake. They were met at Kiukiang. The cause of the riot was local. Serious blame attaches to the French Catholics. Chinese friendly to the missionaries object to priests exercising civil functions. HEPBURN BILL SAFE. Prediction that the Senate Will Pass It Without Change. Washington.—That the railroad rate bill will be passed by the Senate practically as it came from the House is an admission that the opponents of the measure are almost ready to make. It has been admitted that they cannot hope for any assistance from the President in getting an amendment for judicial review of orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The President made this clear to Senators Crane and Spooner. The only hope left to the opponents of the measure is in the Democrats. They have not definitely determined what the party position will be toward such an amendment, but it is admitted that more than half of the minority favor passing the bill exactly as it came from the House. The railroad rate bill for several days has been regarded as the one measure standing in the way of an early adjournment of Congress. One of the leading Republican senators, a member of the steering committee, declares that "the Philippine tariff bill, the statehood bill and the Santo Domingo treaty are all dead." He qualified his statement concerning the statehood bill by saying that he meant that the friends of the bill could not pass it without the Foraker amendment providing for submission to the votes of the people of New Mexico and Arizona separately the question whether they should have joint statehood. Death of I. E. Blake. Denver.—I. *E. Blake*, formerly of Denver and well known for his numerous gifts to various institutions, died in San Francisco Wednesday night of apoplexy. Mr. Blake was the donor of the magnificent organ to Trinity Methodist church in this city. He was identified with a large number of proxperous concerns. From 1883 to 1893, while a resident of Denver, he was president of the Continental Oil Company. Later he was head of the Pacific Coast Oil Company, a strong concern which was absorbed by the Standard. Mr. Blake sank a fortune in the Nevada Southern road in the panic of 1893. At the time of his death, Mr. Blake was one of the leading spirits in the Consumers' Oil Company on the Coast. To Prosecute the Schiffers. Denver. — A Republican dispatch from Alamosa says: The committee appointed by the depositors of the defunct bank of Alamosa to arrange for a settlement with the Schiffers, has failed to get any satisfaction from the bankers' attorney other than that thirty-three and one-third per cent. is all the Schiffers will pay back. The committee has been given authority to act and is now collecting two per cent. from all the depositors interested. This money will be used to employ the best legal talent obtainable in Colorado to prosecute the Schiffers at the May term of the Conejos county District Court. The depositors are responding to the call. Trouble Is Feared. Washington.—Trouble is all that the State Department can see in the international conference at Algeciras. The officials are decidedly pessimistic in their comments on the situation, and the statement was made: "If no agreement is reached at Algeciras it will be because Germany desires war. France has made several concessions and the situation is now as if they were up against a stone wall and could not sidestep." It also has been said repeatedly that Morocco has but a small significance in the entire international discussion and that European politics constitute the paramount subject of discussion and of action.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. GEORGE WASHINGTON. The world will never weary celebrating the birthday of the first president of the United States. He set the standard which is the object and high purpose of every predecessor to follow. His name grows larger as the nation advances. His fame and character increases as the nation multiplies and his name is destined to remain at the head as long as great names are honored in America. Born in Westmoreland Co., Va. 1732. February 22, represented the 174th Anniversary of his birth. In all Public places of business and education his name and memory was held in the highest reverence and toasted at banquet and festive boards. Washington deserves a place in literature as well as history although he wrote nothing designed especially for publication except his "Farewell Address" to the American people yet his private and public letters including his correspondence and diaries form several volumes of colonial and historical value and set our high deal for public life today, when graff, wire pulling, intrigue and diplomacy mark the action of men in high places. Washington will always be looked upon as the ideal President who thought more of the welfare of the country than of his own success and immortality, but this very fact in itself will give him the first place in the hearts of his countryman. The world has moved forward since Washingtons day but not in producing a better model for President. WHITE HOUSE WEDDING. The White House Bridal event has come and gone and many brains and hearts have been set at ease. As long as it was before the public, many women and misses were in furor; what will she wear? who will be present? how will she act, and last but not least, what presents will she get? These and hundreds of other questions were constantly in the minds and on the tongues of millions of people who read every detail of the approaching nuptials of the belle of the White House. At the appointed day and hour the event passed off and thousands of tongues were set at rest. Mr. and Mrs. Nicolas Longworth are now in the South, perhaps in Cuba, quietly roaming through the gloaming and enjoying their honey moon like other mortals. While the wags and feeders on public gossip will look forward to a new object upon which to center their attention and direct their opinions. With this exception Mr. Longworth cannot be a true "Rooseveltian" until he comes to Colorado and levels a gun at the prettiest bear or finest bob cat that nature has produced and eats his fried bacon and drinks his coffee from a tin cup cooked on a camp fire in Colorado. This is the invitation extended by the West to Mr. and Mrs. Longworth and when they are through with the sights of the East then let them come and see the sight of sights, the great and growing West. TUSKEEGEE CONFERENCE. The fifteenth annual conference of farmers in the vicinity of Booker T. Washington's school brought together this year a larger number than at any time previous. Farmers from all over the Southern states and representatives from many of the colleges were present. This conference has assumed a national character now and is looked upon by the outside world as the one great event to get together on lines of permanent improvement. Mr. Washington presided and delivered one of the most helpful addresses at the opening in which he advised colored men, 1st, to stayout of courts in the settlement of their petty differences, second, to pay their honest debts, third, continue to buy land, fourth, as far as practicable to build comfortable homes. In the declarations adopted by the conference the colored preachers, teachers and leaders everywhere were requested to urge the colored people to buy land; discontinue the patronage of dispensaries and saloons, to educate their children. All of this is sound sense uttered by a practical man and is the seed corn from which a harvest of fruit will be produced in a few generations. When the already flowing springs of life are quickened by the watchful eye of those who are interested in us the progress of the race will be wonderfully accelerated. Mr. Washington aims to make each striving man of the race feel that the whole world is looking at him and debating whether he is a failure or not. If the Negro knows that his case is on trial he will be certain to successfully win out. The conference tends to bring before the race as a mirror the helps and hinderance to their success. IS THERE AN INNER CIRCLE IN OPERATION? Is there a clandestine order in Colorado set for murder and rapine? Is there a Mollie McGuire League or "Inner Circle" among the Western Federation of Miners? These are horrible questions to contemplate and yet we are assured by those in a position to know that the true exposures are withheld because the public is not prepared to believe the facts. When it is stated that the whole West from Colorado to the coast was placed under a government of brute force through the operations of the "Inner Circle" of the Federation. Strikes were to be done away with, they were too slow, cumberson, expensive and uncertain. Whenever trouble arose in a district the persons to be disposed of was singled out and watched, and the method of death chosen by bomb, knife, rifle or poison and a large amount of money set aside to pay agents and accomplices and thus those who incurred the ill will of "the circle" were destroyed as a warning to others. Can it be possible that such a state of things actually existed(?) and yet the facts seem to bear out the conclusion. What is worse is such papers as the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Times, that have upheld the Western Federation and fought its battles cannot consistently escape the odium of assisting in the conspiracy of this organization. Instead of exposing its hellish purposes and turning the light of investigation upon the inner workings. The News has seemed bent on giving the Federation and its executive heads a clean bill of health, thus diverting suspicion from the real dangers. But now that the matter is before the courts and the public eye, the whole organization will be on trial for its life and its real purpose and intent will be brought to the surface. A labor organization has its place but a murder organization should be known and watched. NATIVES OF SOUTH AFRICA INSURANCE OF OLDEN TIME A WIND-FALL FOR AUNTIE HONEY A VALVABLE FOOD LOVES THE MOTHER WEST LOVES THE MOTHER WEST A traveler in South Africa gives some interesting incidents about the women there. The mother gives her infant four or five hot baths a day, considering it necessary for the health and growth of the child. After the bath the baby is rubbed with a sort of paint prepared by mixing a soft clay with oil. Its toilet completed, it is fed and placed on its mat by the fire to sleep. "A mother does not leave her young child in her kraal when she goes out to gather wood, fetch water or work her farm, but carries it on her back in a sling, which, by the way, is made by the man of the household. The babies' principal food, as soon as they have learned to drink from a gourd, is the whey which their mother's draw from the clabbered milk prepared in great quantities for the men of the household. "You must not fancy that the women think of themselves in preparing the food for the family. A woman's taste is of too little importance. Indeed. I think such a thing is not known to exist. Food is prepared for the husband and his friends according to his orders, and if there should be anything left over, then the women and girls may eat it in another part of their little hut. If not, they At the October meeting of the Insurance Society of New York Morris P. Stevens, lecturer on insurance in the University of New York, gave an interesting review of the earliest forms of insurance. Life insurance lays claim to perhaps greater antiquity than marine insurance. In a paper written by M. N. Adler before the Institute of Actuaries in 1864 he mentions a Latin inscription on a marble slab found at Lanuvium an ancient town in Latium, a short distance from Rome, bearing date during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, A. D. 117-128, which inscription shows that a club had been formed ostensibly for the worship of Diana, in reality it was to provide a sum at the death of each member for his burial. It required an entrance fee and monthly payments and whoever omitted payment for a certain number of months had no claim on the society for his funeral rights. She got wearily up from the Central park bench and shambled aimlessly westward toward the Mall. She was an old colored woman with patched habilliments kept in place by strings and pins. But there was a certain dignity in her face which those who knew life could scarcely miss. Even the Gibson girl giving her Boston terrier its morning exercise, who did not know life, must have seen something of this dignity, for she paused to look after the weary figure. Then impulsively her daintily gloved hand went into her chatelaine bag and brought out a dollar bill. Despite the protests of the willful terrier the girl turned and followed the old woman; but as she came abreast of her her half-outstretched hand dropped. "She might feel insulted," she murmured to herself, catching sight of the patrician dignity again. Then she touched the colored woman on the arm. Honey, which is described as "one of nature's best foods," is the subject of a report by the Ontario department of agriculture. In this it is pointed out that it is only within the past few centuries that sugar has become known, and only within the last generation that refined sugars have become so low in price that they may be commonly used in the poorest families. Formerly honey was the principal sweet, and it was highly valued 3,000 years before the first sugar refinery was built. "It would add greatly to the health of the present generation," it is declared, "if honey could be at least partially restored to its former place as a common article of diet." Excessive use of sugar brings in its train a long list of ills. When sugar is taken into the stomach it cannot be assimilated until first changed by digestion into grape sugar. Only too I have lived too long with my Mother West To care for the eastern land For I drew life's milk from her mighty breast; She taught me to creep and stand; And my baby eyes looked out and saw Her spaces serene and vast. For Goose molded in the soul to awe. Plains that merge in a limless plain, Mountain on mountain hurled. In infinite leagues of an infinite world. These I have loved since my heart was heart. And ever I paid them toll, And their praise I breathed with a lisping tongue. For they were my life and soul. A' I hid my face on her great, warm breast And I loved right well my Mother West. The east has mountains, I hear them say, But the mountains are only hills— Wise hillocks that children might use in play— And that a hillock frick; And the ocean is only a stage effect, Or so it seemth to me; But what would you have or what expect? (My spirit from Pacific sea.) It's a tiny world and I've sometimes felt That its people grew tiny, too. must satisfy their hunger with whey or fruits, for which the men are known to care little. "The meals for the men usually consist of several courses of which boiled or broiled meat or fish is the first; then follow vegetables of several varieties, fruits, the clabber of which I have spoken and a sort of hasty pudding, made of corn meal with coarse brown sugar sprinkled over it. Cooking is one of the many duties performed by the women and most of it is done in the same vessel, an iron pot, with a second pot of the same size fitted over it as a cover. In these clumsy vessels they manage to do very creditable cooking. Besides boiling their meats, vegetables and puddings, they manage to steam a loaf of bread. "Their houses or huts—and each woman has one—are circular in shape. They are so low that she can stand erect only in the center. The Zulu woman keeps it remarkably clean, considering the fact that not only she and her family abide in it, but that when night comes the goats, dogs, calves and chickens come in and sleep in their respective corners. The door that people and animals creep through is only about two and one-half feet high." Marine insurance was a regular business during the Roman empire, being started in the form of loans on cargoes for which a varied rate of interest was charged according to the hazard. In explaining the origin of the term "underwriters" he said that when a ship was about to set out upon a voyage from England, it was the custom to pass around at Llqyds a paper upon which was written a description of the vessel and its cargo, with the name of the master and the character of the crew and the voyage contemplated. Those of the merchants and others present desiring to become insurers would write their names, together with the amount which each was willing to take or be liable for as an insurer. When the total amount of insurance desired had been underwritten the contract was complete. The term "underwriters" as now applied to insurers arose by reason of this custom of Lloyds. FOR AUNTIE "O auntie," she said, "I think you dropped this." And she held out the bill. Auntie gave a wistful look at the green bit of current specie, but shook her head decidedly: "No, chile; no, chile," she affirmed with much politeness, "dat dat warnn't nowhow. I didn't drop dat, chile." "I reckon you didn't know it," persisted the girl, struggling more with the Boston terrier than with the fib, "but you dropped it just the same," and pushing the bill into auntie's hand she allowed the impatient dog to lead her a run the turn of the path. The old colored woman stared in a dazed fashion at her hand for a full half-minute. Then she turned slowly toward a sympathetic woman onlooker: "Fo' de Lawd, I DID need dat money.

In the laboratory of the hive the honey has been fully prepared by the bees for prompt assimilation without taxing either the stomach or the kidneys, so that in eating honey the digestive machinery is saved work and health is maintained. Moreover, the same report says that "in many cases it will be a real economy to lessen the butter bill by letting honey in part take its place. One pound of honey will go as far as a pound of butter, and if both articles be of the same quality the honey will cost the less. Honey is strongly recommended for children, while for persons of all ages a pleasant and wholesome drink is called "German honey tea." This is made by pouring a teacupful of hot water on from one to two teaspoonfuls of honey." Content as they've still to the gold god knelt And muddled his will to do. For the soul needs depth and the soul needs height And it needs the spaces of God. And it smaller grows when it ceaselessly grows Where Mammon doth hold the rod. But here we are taught by our Mother West That the soul is all and vain is the rest. Unto him who was born where the world is great That days clear and stern To stand as the hein to a god's estate Nor e'er to the petty turn. He dare not walk with the shoddy crowd Whose lives are hollow pretense. Whose soul is so forever is loud. Whom glitter of gold contends; For the mountains murmur, "Stand straight and tall!" And wide plains whisper, "Be broad!" And the ocean mutters, "Be not the small Whom only the small applaud!" And he who doth turn from these regal To the folly and sham of life Shall never stand with the uncrowned kings Whose virtue the prize of stifle. Ay, a thankless heir is he, at best, To our mother of mothers, the great broad West. —San Francisco C. p.1. A GOOD COOK Might not need a good COOK BOOK to aid her in cooking a good meal.

Mr. and Mrs. William Edwards who have been visiting in our city for the past two weeks returned to Telluride last Sunday morning. Edward Lockett of Silverton is expected to be here and sing in the quartet at the Jubilee concert, Thursday evening, March 8th. Extensive preparations are being made for the grand Jubilee concert which will be given at the opera house for the benefit of the A. M. E. church. The District court convenes about March 10th. There are a number of important cases on the docket; one which some of our colored citizens are interested in, namely the killing of Sheriff Thompson. A movement is in progress among the citizens of Durango to organize a Y. M. C. A. Over I30 young men have enrolled their names and as soon as the number reaches 200 the Association will be organized. A syndicate of leading business men of the city has been formed for the purpose of erecting the largest and most thoroughly equipped hoted with all modern improvement in this section of the state in Durango. The work will begin in the spring and is expected to be completed for the fall fair. What a great opportunity for the colored waiters who are loitering around our cities. More will be said latter. Beekeeper Hard Shrewd Scheme. A visit to a Hamden, Delaware county, farm this summer disclosed a get-rich-quick scheme. The farmer had a score of bee hives, from which he secured many pounds of honey during the season. The reason he was more successful than his neighbors was discovered by a newspaper man stopping near by. The hive owner bought many pounds of white sugar at the village store at six cents a pound. He scattered the sugar about so that the thrifty bees could pick it up and store it up in combs. The "honey" was disposed of at sixteen cents a pound. Of course, it did not have the real flavor, but it was made quicker by the bees and brought a quicker profit.—Brooklyn Eagle. Why We're Right Handed. "Our mothers make us right handed," said a young man. "They do it in our infancy. "How does a mother carry her baby? On her right arm, eh? Now putting yourself in that baby's place, which hand and arm have you got free? The right, of course. "Babies as they are carried about have the lef arm and hand cramped up and the right arm and hand free to swing about, to strike, with, to scratch with and to do everything with. "Therefore it is natural for all children to grow up right handed." Extends Rights of Women: The Court of Appeals of New York has just decided that a married woman who, while living with her husband, and with his consent and approval, goes outside of her own family and performs services as nurse and attendant for another, may maintain an action in her own name to recover for the value of such services. Good idea, but Unfortunately the Cradle Was Empty. A clock in a nearby tower had just tolled off the hour of 4 as he arose unsteadily from the card table, where he had sat for three hours, stretched his weary limbs, bade his comrades good night and started in the direction of his home. After a half-hour's walk in which all the lamp posts and telegraph poles insisted on getting in his way, he arrived at his home, took out his bunch of keys, at last found the elusive key-hole and softly opening the door and discarding his shoes at the foot of the stairs, climbed heavenward on all fours. With catlike footsteps he crept across the threshold of his bedroom and proceeded to undress. He heard his wife move restlessly, which made him hurry, and in doing so he up set a chair. Stepping quickly over to the cradle in the corner, he commenced to rock it violently. "Is that you, John?" came his wife's voice from the bed. "Yes, dear," he replied. "Well, what in the world are you doing?" she asked. "Why, I'm rocking this blamed kid to sleep." "How long have you been there?" "Since 11:30." 4 "Well, John, I think you had better get right into bed, as I have the child in here beside me; and, moreover, I've had him here ever since 11 o'clock last night."—Philadelphia Press. SOME TRICKS OF LIGHTNING Bolts, It Would Seem, Were Sent to Do Their Works. A man in Mississippi was cutting a chew of tobacco when a bolt of lightning struck his hands. They were so badly burned that they had to be amputated. Two quarrymen were preparing a fuse in a Georgia marble quarry when lightning struck the charge and they were blown to fragments. The mate of an Atlantic coasting schooner was drunkenly inviting a sailor aloft engaged in shortening sail to come down and be cut to pieces, when a bolt of lightning struck the mate dead. A boy seated in a small boat that was attached to and trailing from a sailing yacht of the South Carolina coast was killed by a bolt of lightning, while the yacht was not damaged. An unbelieving farmer in Indiana was engaged in a controversy with an itinerant minister when he was struck dead by lightning while making a blasphemous remark. NAKE AS A HYPNOTIST. Power Over Its Victims Now Explained on Occult Grounds Hypnotism has been advanced as an explanation of the peculiar fascination exercised by serpents over weak animals which become so influenced by the eyes and body movements of their charmer that they are easily captured. Birds, squirrels and mice are the readiest victims. According to the instances observed the doomed animals seem to realize their danger, but are powerless to resist the influence. Sometimes a diversion, such as a sudden noise, will break the spell. It may have been, in the instances observed, that the victim was a parent trying to distract the snake's attention from its young and approaching incautiously too near its enemy. Or there may have been an attraction by curiosity or antipathy, the victim becoming careless of its danger through anger or weak through terror. The explanation that a state of hypnosis is induced is reasonable. The common hen may be readily hypnotized and music renders some mammals incapable of movement. The first move of the snake's victim may be one of curiosity. Then the snake may, even without being aware of it, exert its hypnotic influence and, seeing its prey within reach, naturally avail itself of its opportunity. CITY NEWS.

G Baker WAS FARMER'S LUCKY DAY WHY HE HAD REMEMBERED IRISHMAN OF THE PAST SAVED BY THE CONDITIONS THE HOLINESS OF TRUTH THE HOLINESS OF TRUTH Chris Hahn, of this county, whose postoffice address is Leseuer, had a great stroke of luck last week resulting from a serious accident. He was driving home, and, to shorten the journey, turned from the highway and took a short cut across Peanut Lake. Just before he reached the opposite shore, however, the ice broke and the team and sled were precipitated into the water, which, fortunately, was only about five feet deep where the sled went down and still shallower where the team was. The horses were quiet and did not plunge about, but were unable to climb out over the ice with the sled attached to them. Hahn promptly dove down into the water back of the horses, pulled out the pin that held the double-tree to the tongue, dove into the sleigh box and got an ax, with which he cut out some of the ice in front of the horses. The team then was able to climb out and were driven to Hahn to a neighbor's barn and well blanketed. After Hahn had changed his clothes and had taken a few drinks of hot home-made wine at his neighbor's, he borrowed a team, and, going back to the lake, cut a path through the ice to the shore, fastened a long chain to the end of the sled tongue and hauled the sled out on land. It is generally the unusual thing which is the easiest to remember—but it seldom happens that exactly the same elements in any situation are most unusual or most striking to any two onlockers. A man who has traveled many times up and down the Mississippi stood on the levee at Cape Girardeau, Mo., one noontime, waiting for the arrival of a downbound packet. Another prospective passenger stepped up and accosted him. "Pardon me, suh," he said. "You and I have met befo', but you do not remember me." "Doubtless if you will recall the circumstances I shall do so," said the other. "Well, suh, it was at Bahfield, Arkansas, one evening five years ago." "I remember Barfield and the evening perfectly," said the man accosted. "It was a frightfully stormy night. The mud at Barfield was deeper than I had ever seen before. I had moored by boat at the bank in front of town, but the bank was so soft I could not climb it. I shinned up a rope to the top, waded over my shoes in mud to a store, bought some groceries and returned to my cabin by sliding down a lumber chute. My wife cooked supper, and we spent an evening reading aloud from Mark Twain's 'Life on the At an election before the union, Dick Martin was opposed by Giles Eyre of Eyecourt, a territorial magnate and thorough sportsman, renowned alike for his reckless extravagances and dare-devil bravery, says Blackwood's Magazine. He was, however, totally illiterate, a circumstance less regarded then than at the present time. The hustings in those days used to be erected in Eyre square, in Galway, sufficiently close to each other to enable the rival candidates for popular favor to exchange banter and other sallies of wit. Advancing to the front of his booth with a folded paper in his hand, Dick Martin exclaimed: "I declare solemnly, before all here assembled, that I am willing this moment to retire from this contest and to allow Col. Eyre to be returned unopposed if he will only sign this declaration which I hold in my hand." This, however, it was not possible for Giles Eyre to do—not from any dissent to the views set forth in the document in question, but because, as Dick Martin was well aware, he was Last summer there was tried at Chicago a breach of promise suit that awakened much interest in legal circles by reason of the ingenious means taken by counsel for the defendant to secure a verdict for his client. Counsel for the plaintiff had begun to read what was alleged to be the proposal of marriage on the part of the defendant. This so-called proposal appeared on a telegraph blank. Turning to the jury counsel began with "My darling Marie." At this juncture counsel for the defendant interrupted his colleague at the bar. "May it please the court, this document, being partly printed and partly written, cannot, by the rules of evidence, be offered in part by plaintiff. Everything on the blank must be read." Notwithstanding the protests of What is truth that through the ages man should riffe earth and star. Seeking ever in the unknown where its mystic fountains are, What is truth that in the distance it *should blaze with holy light, Beating back the hosts of darkness in the world's enfolding night, When he did so a great and happy surprise was vouchsafed him, for the high, double sleigh box, weighted down as it fortunately had been with a couple of bundles of fence wire, had not floated off the runners but had remained submerged beneath the water, and, while in that position, had been filled almost completely full of fine pickerel, plike and black bass that had swarmed in from the deeper portions of the lake to get a breath of fresh air at the opening made when the team broke through. The weight of the load of fish exceeded a ton, and Hahn made a fine profit out of the accident the next day, which was Friday, for he brought the load into town and sold it all in a short time at 5 cents a pound, netting a profit to himself of over $100, after paying Paul F. Block and Herman Weckworth for their services as auctioneer and clerk respectively. Although the fish were caught in such a manner that it would have been unlawful to take them in that way if it had been done intentionally, the fact that the catch was made by accident took the case entirely out of the jurisdiction of the game warden, who promptly decided that he had nothing to do with it, and he was one of the heaviest buyers at the sale.—Lesuer (Minn.) Cor. St. Paul Pioneer-Press. Mississippi.' A raft of logs broke loose and went down stream, and as I had no skiff to follow them with, I shouted an alarm and others went. The rain turned to snow before morning, and the next morning, which was Sunday, the steamer Ferd Herold came in from Memphis at daybreak." "Yes, suh," said the man who remembered him. "Yes, suh, I reckon all those things ah so. I do not recall all those things ah so. I do not recall all those things ah so. Bahfield is always muddy when it rains, the Ferd Herold comes in every week, logs often break away, and none of those things is fastened into my memory. "But, suh, I was settin' in the sto' that evenin' when you entered. When you come f'om no one of us knew. You bought, suh, two pounds of rice and a can of tomatoes. Now, suh, I neveh knew a gentleman to buy just that combination of groceries at the same time befo', and not one of us could imagine, suh,jes' what a man who, so foh as we could see, didn't live theh and didn't have any home foh usin' them, was goin' to do with two pounds of rice and only one can of tomatoes.

Lord Clanricarde was at that time colonel of the Galway militia, and Giles Eyre filled the post of lieutenant colonel. He had, however, not much more acquaintance with drill than he had with reading and writing. A general officer having on one occasion come down from Dublin on a tour of inspection, Giles Eyre had to put the regiment through its facings before him. In five minutes he had reduced the regiment to absolute chaos, no man knowing which was his front nor in which direction he was expected to advance. "Devil take you, sir!" roared the inspecting officer, black with fury. "Who made you a lieutenant colonel?" "No one made me a lieutenant colonel," Giles Eyre returned, haughtily. "I should not allow myself to be made a lieutenant colonel by anyone. I was born so." Nor was this an idle boast, for children were frequently appointed to high military posts while still in their cradles. counsel for the plaintiff that the printed matter had no relevancy with the case—the fact being that the proposal was written on a telegraph blank by accident—the ruling of the court was that everything on the blank should be read. Accordingly the reluctant counsel for the plaintiff was forced to read the following: "There shall be no liability on account of this message unless the same shall be repeated, and then only on condition that the claim shall be made within thirty days in writing." Then after the signature followed: "Yours devotedly, Harry," together with this N. B.: "Read carefully the conditions at the top." To the great delight of counsel for the defendant the jury returned a verdict in his favor in twenty minutes—farmer's Weekly. Truth is simple as the sermons nature tells us on our way. Gentle as the thought of brothers who were parted yesterday; It is plain as honest faces that betoken hearts so kind It is beautiful as morning when the world awakes to joy And life's golden expectations thrill the eager heart of boy; It is lasting as the cliff rock that forever fronts the sea. Lasting as the ocean waters that shall wash the cliff rock free; by the Truth is ever what we make it in the light of love and peace. by the Help that is tolling who would give the soul increase! —Charles W.

STATE CONVICTS ARE TO BE ENTERTAINED AND INSTRUCTED. BY THE PRISON ASSOCIATION Course of Lectures to Be Provided—Will Hear Prominent Speakers and Listen to Music. Denver.—For the education and edification of the convicts in the Canon City penitentiary and the reformatory at Buena Vista, a series of lectures and entertainments has been prepared by W. E. Collett, secretary of the Colorado Prison Association. This society, of which Mr. Collett, is the active head, was organized to aid discharged prisoners and has done a great deal of valuable work. Its office upon the third floor of the capitol is visited daily by former prisoners. The course will run through March and April. Those whose services have been secured are Chancellor Henry A. Buchtel of the University of Denver, Rabbi W. S. Friedman of Temple Emmanuel, Rev. Frank T. Bayley, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church; Mrs. Scott Saxton and Mrs. Liska Stillman Churchill, both well known readers of Denver. The entertainments will be given mornings in the chapels of the two institutions. Both Warden Cleghorn and Warden Dutcher heartily approve of the plan, and are giving Mr. Collett every assistance. Chancellor Buchtel will begin the course with a lecture on "Theodore Roosevelt," at Buena Vista, on the morning of March 9th. A month later the chancellor will give the same lecture at the penitentiary. Mrs. Churchill will present a varied program of impersonations under the general theme, "The Human Interest." She will appear at the reformatory March 14th, and at Canon City the day following. Dr. Bayley's topic will be "Some of the Mysteries of Common Things." He will speak to the reformatory boys March 22d, and on the next day will address the prisoners at Canon City. Rabbi Friedman has chosen as his message to the wayward men and boys, "Our Associates." His dates are at Buena Vista March 26th, and at Canon City March 27th. In the program Mrs. Saxton will have the assistance of several of her pupils. She will give a general program of impersonations and readings at Buena Vista on April 20th. The next day they will go to the penitentiary, where, it is possible, a play will be put on. It is Mr. Collett's intention to make this course a permanent feature of the work of the association. Next year he will endeavor to start it earlier, so that the entertainments may be a part of the life at the two institutions during the winter months. Mr. and Mrs. Collett have just returned from a trip to the penitentiary. They gave audience to nearly 200 of the prisoners, with a view of learning what their needs would be when they were released on parole, assisting them in their efforts to be released, or assuring them of the help of the association at all times. AUDITORIUM SITE. Committee of Denver City Council Agrees on Location. Denver.—The joint committee of the City Council yesterday recommended to the Council and the mayor the ground on the west side of Fourteenth street, between Curtis and Champa streets, as a site for the proposed auditorium. The price to the city is $105,000, which would leave $295,000 for a building. A majority of the Council has signified its willingness to adopt the recommendation. As the selection narrowed to the one site, there is little else to be done, although the council and the mayor favored going further up town if property at a reasonable rate could be had, which was not possible, however. A number of property owners interested in property near at hand are understood to have gone to the rescue in the case of the site recommended and reduced the price to the figure named. Gould May Drop C. F. & I. New York.—George J. Gould, according to a Wall Street rumor, has practically decided to relinquish his control of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company to the United States Steel Corporation. In consideration of this, it was said, the steel combine and the Great Northern road will give the Gould Wabash and Pittsburg extension lines traffic between the ore properties or the Great Northern and Pittsburg. This would mean that ore shipments will be made over the Great Northern, the Burlington and the Wabash roads, into Pittsburg. Control of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company is said to be held by J. P. Morgan & Co. pending the closing of the deal. Archuleta Divorce Granted. Denver. After a week's trial, characterized by much bitterness, Mrs. Adaline Archuleta was last night granted a divorce from J. Presley Archuleta on the grounds of desertion and infidelity. The jury was out several hours when the verdict was reached. It is understood that if a new trial is not granted Archuleta's lawyers will appeal the case to the Supreme Court. Liquor Dealers Organize. Denver.—Retail liquor dealers of Colorado to th enumber of 150, met at the Adams hotel Wednesday, and effected an organization which they expect will result in much good generally. According to Secretary G. V. Richards, "it is an organization to elevate the business. Men will drink liquor and it is our business to see that only decent men sell it; that people who drink get pure liquor and that those who deal in 'doped' drinks are run out of the business." Nearly every town in the state was represented. A banquet was held in the evening. APPEAL FOR HORSES OFFICIAL INSPECTION NEEDED Abuse Altogether Too Common—Old Horses Overworked—They Suffer Keenily When Ill Treated. No one will question that, were the spirit of Christianity universally embodied in every-day living, all oppression of the weak and all cruelty to the lower animals would disappear. Nevertheless, it is a fact that, while we find in Proverbs the general statement that "the righteous man regardeth his beast," there is not in the New Testament any special teaching or injunction on the subject, and it is only comparatively recently that it has come to be thought worthy of attention and organized effort, directed to the prevention of the constant and shocking cruelty which for centuries had gone on unheeded. At an earlier period than the beginning of our era, the great teacher, Buddha, in his commandments to his disciples, laid down the principle that all life was sacred, and that the rule of kindness was to be extended to its lowest manifestation. While we are yet, as a people, far in the rear of this position, much has been done through societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals and for the regulation of vivisection to put a stop to the worst of the suffering which was so common in former years. The brutal abuse of overburdened animals in the public streets is no longer seen, but a great deal still goes on painful to the sensibilities of the observant and of a nature that should be prohibited. Horses that ought to have been retired from active service long ago, or put out of existence painlessly, are propped up between the thills of dilapidated carts and forced to toter along the streets with loads far out of proportion to their strength; poor bifind animals, with all the apprehension and distress that a human being would experience similarly situated, are driven about in the crowded thoroughafares, regardless of the dumb agony they must experience, and it is not uncommon to see drivers of vehicles lash their horses furiously without justification or to any good purpose, in a way that makes one wish the outraged animals could kick their assailants off the boxes. It is not necessary to accept the doubtless somewhat fanciful estimate of Seton Thompson in regard to the quite human intelligence and susceptibilities of the lower animals in order to believe that they suffer keenly, realize when they are well or ill-kept, resent cruelty and injustice, and respond to friendliness and kindness. RHEUMATIC PAINS Disappear When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Purify the Blood and Heal Inflamed Tissues. Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by the failure of the body to cast off certain poisons. External applications are of use only in securing temporary relief from pain—the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says: "It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet became deformed. I lost my appetite, couldn't sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. "For several winters I was under the doctor's care and while his medicine relieved the pain for a little while there soemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times and I was reduced almost to nothing. "In the spring of 1904, upon the advice of a friend, I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt a change for the heartily in about a month. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using care in my diet, and in about three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rheumatic poisons out of her blood. But you must get the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, sold by all druggists and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

The function strengthening and tissue building plan of treating chronic, lingering and obstinate cases of disease as pursued by Dr. Pierce, is following after Nature's plan of restoring health. He uses natural remedies, that is extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by processes wrought out by the expenditure of much time and money, about the use of alcohol, and by skillful combination in just the right proportions. Used as ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry bark, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert their influence in cases of lung, bronchial and throat troubles, and this "Discovery" is, therefore, a sovereign remedy for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindred ailments. The above native roots also have the strongest possible endorsement from the leading medical writers, of all the several ailments practiced, for the cure not only of the disease, but also of indigestion, torpor of liver, or blindness, obstinate constipation, kidney and bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter where located. You don't have to take Dr. Pierce's say-so alone as to this; what he claims for his "Discovery" is backed up by the writings of the most eminent men in the medical profession. A request by postal or mail address to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y., for a little book of extracts from eminent medical authorities endorsing the ingredients of his medicines, will bring a little book free that is worthy of your attention if needing a good, safe, reliable remedy of any compulsion, the cure of almost any old chronic, or lingering ailady. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are constipation. One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. The most valuable book for both men and women is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. A splendid 1008-page volume, with engravings and colored plates. A copy, paper-covered, will be sent to anyone sending 21 cents in one-cent stamps, to pay the cost of the book. Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y., Cloth-bound, 31 stamps.

Preliminary arrangements for a general merger of all the elevated roads in Chicago involving over $100,000,000 are said to be progressing favorably and the eventual consolidation is declared to be nearer realization now than at any former time. The grand jury of the United States District Court at Asheville, North Carolina, returned another true bill against Congressman Blackburn, charging him with practicing before the Treasury Department in violation of the federal statutes. Former Mayor Robert J. Black of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, received a letter from members of the "Black Hand" society, demanding $3,000 in coin before March 8th, or his life would pay the forfeit, his house be blown up and his family ruined. Plans for remodeling the Singer Manufacturing Company's building in New York City, which is now a fourteen-story sky scraper, propose to make it thirty-six stories high, surmounted by four more stories in the form of a tower, making it 593 feet in height. Prof. H. C. Ernst, bacteriologist of the Harvard Medical school, has evolved a process of photographing disease germs by means of the so-called ultra-violet rays of the spectrum, so that each germ stands out individually. Chemical coloration is not necessary. Pat Crowe's trial on the charge of holding up street cars at Council Bluffs, has been postponed and he has been admitted to bail on a bond of $1,500 signed by his brother, John Crowe, and the latter's wife and Joseph Nansel, a wealthy farmer of this county. The Dominion government, alarmed by the rapidly spreading use of American silver coins, has arranged with Canadian banks to collect this currency and ship it out of the country, so that the Dominion mints may have a chance.

A report of public and marine hospital service, which has just been issued, gives a summary of the quarantinable diseases reported for the city of Manila during the calendar year 1905, showing there were 254 cases and 225 deaths from cholera; 45 cases and 43 deaths from plague, and 27 cases and 23 deaths from smallpox. For forty years they have been lovers, but not until each had passed the century mark could Samuel Kuhns and Sarah Jackson, living near Marysville, Ohio, make up their minds to wed.

The realty board of San Diego, California, has begun raising by subscription a $1,000,000 subsidy for a railroad from San Diego across the desert to the eastward. The necessary amount must be raised by the end of the year, as under the conditions of the contract the work must begin on January 1, 1907. The route will be south of or through Warner's pass to Imperial valley. John Morley's first official act as secretary for India has been to intervene in the thorny dispute which led to the resignation of Lord Curzon of Kedleston, the former viceroy. His decision is strongly in favor of upholding the supremacy of the civil government in Indian military matters, which confirms the view taken by Lord Curzon as against Gen. Lord Kitchener. Consul Mansfield at Valparaiso, in a report to the State Department, says that out of a total of 17,000,000 annual tonnage of vessels entering Chilean ports, those flying the American flag represented only 115,000 tons. Great Britain's flag covered 8,000,000 tons and the German ships aggregated 3,000,000 tons. The trade of the United States fell back from $11,000,000 in 1903 to $10,000,000 in 1904, notwithstanding Chile greatly increased her purchases. American Student Life. Professor Wilhelm Ostwald of the University of Leipzig recently returned to Leipsiş from his course of lectures at Harvard. Giving his impressions of American student life, he says: "The personal interest of the students, next to their studies, is concentrated alone on sport, which draws their attention altogether from intellectual or aesthetic pursuits. Foot ball, above all, is loved uncommonly, and it is practiced in such a fashion that academic and state authority are near to forbidding it altogether. In the term of a single semester nineteen students fell victims to enraged, brutal handling. At all the American universities are open amphitheaters, in which many thousands of spectators view the periodic foot ball battles." Antelopes Choose the Open. The antelope lives always in open country, unlike members of the deer family, which invariably prefer a thick, dense forest. They cannot be driven into timber cover or thickets of brush, but will literally turn about and run over a pursuer, if necessary, rather than be forced into cover. If they are ever obliged to pass by or through such places for food and water, they take a great deal of time to do so, as if they were determined to see everything that could be seen en route.—H. H.

Vanilla Extract One of the Many Articles Made From It. "Do you know that a majority of the vanilla flavoring used in the world is not made from the vanilla bean, but is the product of tar? Do you also know that there are now between 500 and 1,000 articles of commerce sold in the markets that are the product of that same tar?" The questions were asked by Gardiner C. Crawford, an American, who has long been engaged in business in Tahiti, who is stopping at the Savoy hotel while en route east. Mr. Crawford was in the business of growing and extracting vanilla in the island, which was the principal product of the natives, but modern science put him, as well as the native growers, out of it. The German chemists discovered that a product commercially called "vaniline" could be produced from tar at one-tenth the cost of the natural vanilla flavor. It is as good as the natural product and there was no competing with that. Mr. Crawford says that tar is proving a productive field for the chemical with the various coal tar products that have been made for the cure of headache, but it will be surprising to know that the experiments have been so extensive as to now include over 500 articles. At the same time not one-fourth of the tar product of the world is consumed annually.—Denver Republican. "A Chicago professor says that vegetation has sensations the same as human beings." "Good gracious, he ought to tell that to the vegetarians!" FOOD AND STUDY A College Man's Experience. "All through my high school course and first year in college," writes an ambitious young man, "I struggled with my studies on a diet of greasy, pasty foods, being especially fond of cakes and fried things. My system got into a state of general disorder and it was difficult for me to apply myself to school work with any degree of satisfaction. I tried different medicines and food preparations but did not seem able to correct the difficulty. "Then my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I had to do something, so I just buckled down to a rigid observance of the directions on the package, and in less than no time began to feel better. In a few weeks my strength was restored, my weight had increased, I had a clearer head and felt better in every particular. My work was simply sport to what it was formerly. "My sister's health was badly run down and she had become so nervous that she could not attend to her music. She went on Grape-Nuts and had the same remarkable experience that I had. Then my brother, Frank, who is in the postoffice department at Washington city and had been trying to do brain work on greasy foods, cakes and all that, joined the Grape-Nuts army. I showed him what it was and could do and from a broken-down condition he has developed into a hearty and efficient man. "Besides these I could give account of numbers of my fellow-students who have made visible improvement mentally and physically by the use of this food." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. HIGH CLASS DRUGGISTS AND - OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor In Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would cooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed.
