Energy and Young Men. A Lesson that Young Men Should Heed as they Journey Through Life. Live a Life that will gain Worthy Commendation. VOL. XII. Energy and A Lesson that Young Men S Through Life. Live Worthy Con Science teaches us that man is endowed with a given amount of energy; that this energy is divided into certain kinds, kinetic, potential and others. To this class may well have been added wasted energy and misdirected energy. We know that though God is the divine cause of all things, nothing happens contrary to His will or purpose. We are confident of the fact that man is master of his own fate and to him is given the use and direction of that energy. That it is his privilege to use it wisely to his own developments and progress, the glory of his manhood, or that it may be used to his nondevelopment, retrogression and the blighting and loss of his manhood, are facts obvious to all. As obvious though as his may be it seems never to have entered the minds of some of thg Negroes we see in the streets, meet on the trains and everywhere where we are forced to take observation lessons in psychology. This does not apply to Negroes especially or in fact to any special class. It is true of human nature, but in Negroes are we at present especially interested. How often is the Negro youth the expender of wasted energy, the best energy of his life lost in a few years in overwork and reckless haste? Did you ever stop to consider that the greatest reformer the world has ever known, whose reformations have stood the test of time and who is to-day as bright and fresh as ever, whose teachings civilization has failed to shake, is the great Christ, the carpenter's son. He was in no hurry; it took him thirty and three years to prepare for his life work and he did but three years of active work. Why then this breathless, pell-mell haste, this mere cramming, which ends in the loss of energy? Another ill of the youthful Negro in the expenditure of energy is useless labor commonly known as destructive dissipation. It often grates upon our finer feeling to admit even to ourselves that our fast living is dissipation, destructive dissipation. We rather say it is somewhat the "strenuous life" or the "demands of society" that keeps us continually on the go, compels us to take a friendly sip of wine or a social glass with a friend; but, my son. it is nothing more or less than dissipation—call it by whatever name that suits your fancy, and more, it is a dis- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL Young Men. should Heed as they Journey a Life that will gain commendation. sipation that kills, that ends in bell. We may as well acknowledge it to ourselves as such, the sooner the better, for sins that men have a right to know sting and do harm as long as they are hid, and not until acknowledged will they cease to gnaw our very vitals. Unless they are admitted is there any hope of change? Then, again, there is that all too prevalent means of wasting energy by idly loafing, supporting the lamp-posts and corners of stores, frequently those of Negro enterprise, with our bodies. Have your daughters, young, virtuous girls, not said to you, "I wouldn't mind going to Mr. Jone's store to trade, but there is such a gang of boys hanging around that I hate to pass them." These young men consider themselves very wise, but what do they accomplish? What are they but a public nuisance, not only harming themselves, wasting their own energy, but missing the opportunities of others. There is no use to mince words; this is too important a subject, too grave a question. This loss of energy is most too common and must cease or produce weaker men. It will undermine the strongest constitution. Young men may as well realize now the fact that his vitality can be used but once, his energy squandered but once. The force and strength consumed in the frivolities and vices of youth can never be regained regardless of how essential it may be to our success in middle life. Just that time and energy wasted in youth in carousing, irregular sleep or dissipation in any form is so much horse-power, the working force taken out of the sum and total of any life, man or woman. Try as you may, it is as utterly impossible to safely crowd the duties and pleasures of sixty years into ten as it is to walk across the Pacific ocean. The age of fable has passed, the miracles has had its sway; this is a common, everyday, practical age. No one man can do the work of two men and maintain the high condition of physical and mental health. Do you doubt this? Look at the rank and file of your churchmen, your scholars and professors, see the prematurely gray hair, the continual frown, the lines and furrows of care and responsibility upon the face of those who should look otherwise in the prime of life. Note, too, the sudden deaths, the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1906. nervous wrecks in after life, the break-down in old age. It is criminal to devote that power of man's life to the production of evil, or waste them in the study and formation of plans to the aggrandizement of self and selfish ends. Life is too short to rush, the responsibilities too great, the hope of the future too bright to waste our precious opportunities of power to meet in after life these responsibilities with flagged-out energy. We pass through this life but once. If there is any desire to accomplish anything to the betterment of our fellowman let us do it now, not defer or neglect—not waste and fritter that energy away, but do it while we can, for we pass this way but once. Then, it is the duty, the God-imposed duty of man, to consecrate and dedicate his power and energy to the building of vigorous, spiritual manhood with the enlargement of the soul, the keenness of sympathy as our years enfold and our nature matures. Preserve and fortify that energy given by a loving Father for the beauty of a good old age that our lives "may serve as an inspiration" as a preservation of youth, its vigor and energy and thus our old age may not be so embittered with thought of repentence for youthful follies, so soured by disease that those who know us wish the good Lord would take us to His keeping.—maurice C.

Tuskegee, Ala., April 3.—In an address to the students of the institute here to-day Secretary of State Taft said: "It now is the habit of many contemplating the condition of the two races in the Southern states to shake their heads and say that the Negro problem is far from solved, and that the future in this respect is dark. Plans have been suggested of a migration of the Negro race to some other country where they would live by themselves and grow up by themselves and have a society by themselves and create a nation by themselves. Such a suggestion is most chimerical. The Negro has no desire to go and the men of the South would seriously object to his going. It makes no difference how the Negro came here; it makes no difference how impossible and objectionable the amalgamation of the two races may be; it makes no difference how impossible it may be for them to come together socially; the Negroes are here in this country, as a part of our people and are bound to continue to be a part of our people. They are entitled to the unceasing effort of our whole people in their struggle for better things both because it is our duty and our interest." Mr. Taft said the Negro had made great progress since the civil war and continued: "The white men who can do the most good for the Negro; who can aid him in his toilsome march to better material and intellectual conditions, are the Southern white men who are his neighbors. It is one of the encouraging signs of the time that there is growing up in the South a body of leading white men who feel that the future of the Negro race affects the future of the South and that both self interest and humanity require them to lead all the aid they can to this people in the throes of a burdensome effort. "In the first place, if he continues to increase in intelligence by the acceptance of the educational opportunities which are being offered him under the influence of Mr. Washington in great institutions like this, and if, industrially, he becomes a power and this gradually increases the number of his race who are eligible to vote in accordance with law, he introduces into the electorate a body of individuals well qualified to act with common sense and judgment, and who, by their very position in the community, give weight to the vote they cast. Coming to the ballot box in small numbers as compared with the total fear that an ignorant majority will take over the government, their votes and their support will ultimately prove attractive to the parties into which the white race must inevitably divide. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Ed Turner, who killed his mother; Coots May, who killed his wife, and Robert McGrew, for murdering a man, are to be hanged at Indianola, Miss., April 24. Henry Johnson of Washington, D. C., has been appointed traveling, inspector of chefs on the Pennsylvania R. R. system, a position never before filled by a colored man.

Francis, one of the most popular attorneys of the Northwest and connected with the legal department of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, at St. Paul, Minn., was successfully nominated as a member of the City Assembly on the Republican ticket at the primary election a few days ago.

Thirty-three years ago David Henry, a Negro of Concordia, Kan., sold a piece of town property for $2800, and loaned the sum to John NO. 28. Hollis, of Mommouth, Ill., taking a deed to a farm as security. He never collected or attempted to collect his interest, and last winter, when Hollis died, and his family went to settle up his estate, it was found the farm was in Henry's name and it would require nearly $10,000 to secure it to the heirs. It has become very valuable property, and Henry has been notified that his money awaits his orders at Mammouth as soon as the property is deeded back to the estate. He will send the deed at once and collect his fortune. A colored man named Daniel Webster, for thirty years a member of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry, is on his way to the White House from the Philippines bearing costly wedding presents, valued at $4,000, from Major General Wood to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.

Mr. Webster expects to reach Washington early this week and deliver to Congressman Longworth the valuable gifts, three in number, consisting of a gold and silver hand-carved Chinese tea set of eighteen pieces, a shawl, woven of pure gold and silver threads, and a piano cover of the same material, with a hand-carved border of jade.

That a hen can live twenty-two days without food was proven by the liberating of two Plymouth Rock chickens entombed in a big snowdrift in the storm of March 1st, to which successive storms had added. When released they immediately began eating and seemed none the worse for their imprisonment, save that they were reduced almost to skeletons. Fifty sacks of high grade ore, aggregating 3,000 pounds, were confiscated in a raid made at Cripple Creek a few days ago by Secretary Floyd Thompson and Special Agent Harry Brown of the Mine Owners' association on an assay office conducted by Charles Ropp at the corner of Fifth and Bennett avenues.

ACCUSED AND THREATENED Once Powerful Prophet and Leader Shorn of His Possessions and Abandoned in Mexico—No One to Speak a Word in His Behalf. Chicago.—John Alexander Dowie, head of the "Christian Catholic Church in Zion," was to-day (Monday) deposed as a religious leader, suspended from membership in the church he founded, shorn of his temporal possessions so far as they are located in Zion City, the home of his church, and warned to accept the situation quietly lest worse things befall him. The active revolt against the leadership of Dowie was foreshadowed yesterday when Overseer Wilbur G. Volly, who had been placed by Dowie in charge of the church while he sought health in Jamaica and Mexico, announced that he would no longer accept the orders of Dowie who had, he declared, grossly mismanaged the affairs of the church. The members of the church, including the wife and son of Dowie, agreed to stand with Volly. The first movement looking to his overthrow was made early to-day by Overseer Voliva, who has a power of attorney from Dowie. In company with several other officers of the church, Voliva hastened to Waukegan, the county seat of Lake county, in which Zion City is situated, and filed for record a warranty deed transferring to Deacon Alexander Grainger all the real estate held by Dowie in Zion City. He also executed a bill of sale to Deacon Grainger putting him in possession of all the personal property of Dowie, including his horses and carriages, books, and even his bed. Later in the day Grainger conveyed these to Voliva, and at nightfall the overseer appointed by Dowie had not only succeeded him as the head of the church, but was the holder of all his property as well. The following message was sent to Dowie informing him of the change in the situation: "Dowie, Ocotian, Jalisco, Mexico—Telegram received here and Chicago. Practically all, including Cincinnati's reports, indorse Voliva's administration, Speicher's reinstatement, Grainger's retention, emphatically protesting against your extravagance, hypocracy, misrepresentations, exaggerations, tyranny and injustice. You are hereby suspended from office and membership for polygamous teaching and other grave charges. See letter. Quietly retire. Further interference will precipitate complete exposure, rebellion, legal proceedings. Your statement of stupendously magnificent financial outlook is extremely foolish in view of thousands suffering through your shameful mismanagement. Zion and creditors will be protected at all costs." The message was signed by W. G. Voliva, general overseer; William H. Piper, overseer for Chicago; H. E. Cante, overseer for United Kingdom; H. D. Brasfield, vice president Zion university; Overseer John Excell, general ecclesiastical secretary, and John G. Speicher, overseer for Zion City. After sending the cablegram to Dowie Overseer Voliva discussed the proceedings of the day. He said: "I have acted in this matter under the power of attorney which I possessed. What has been done I believe to be for the good of the church in Zion City and for its creditors. Legal counsel has been retained, and everything was carried out in accordance with their advice. We shall go ahead and put the affairs of Zion City in good order. If further steps are taken it will depend on what is done by Dowie. The situation is up to nim as it stands." Regarding the polygamous teachings mentioned in the message to Dowie, Overseer Voliva said he would issue a statement regarding them later when Dowie had been given an opportunity to reply. He said, however, that the teachings had not been of a public character. Deacon Speicher, who first became a convert to the faith of the Zion City church as a physician, declared to-day that Dowie is a very sick man, suffering from pulmonary trouble, paralysis and dropsy and occasional delirium. It is generally believed by the officers of the church that the deposed leader will make a fight to recover his lost power. If this is done, they as serted to-day, the matter would go to the courts. Dowie's project of the establishment of a colony in Mexico will be abandoned by the new administration. Dowie will be given an allowance, according to advices from Zion City to-night, sufficient to maintain a residence in Mexico, if he so desires, or he will be received by the new officers of the church as a common citizen, should he elect to return and take up his residence in Zion City. No action under the criminal laws will be taken against him on account of the funds he is alleged to have wasted, nor will any civil action be brought to recover. If the deposed leader becomes obstreperous, however, it was said that his son, Gladstone, was prepared to make revelations that "would startle the world." Russia and China May Clash. Moscow.—The Russkee Slovo has received a sensational telegram from its correspondent at Harbin, Manchuria, saying that hostilities are imminent between the Russian and Chinese troops. He intimated that the Chinese, influenced by Japanese, are moving forward, that the situation is so tense that the Russian demobilization of troops has been stopped and that General Groldoff, the Russian commander-in-chief, has issued instructions to prepare for eventualities. Representatives of eighty independent window glass manufacturers controlling 1,900 pots, met in Pittsburgh March 29th and voted to advance the price of their product nineteen per cent.

Not for the fun of the thing, like you; All that I merited, looked for, built on; Seemed to be doomed to a fatal slump; Mine was the mental complaint which Happily termed the Hump.

"Tradition!" said another man, "are you aware how few lives it takes to bridge over the centuries? For instance, the discovery of America seems a long time ago, and I suppose traditions concerning Columbus and his crowd you would consider of no reliability; yet, do you know, that only four lives intervene between me and a sailor of Christopher Columbus? Yes, sir, I am in possession of a story told by a sailor of the Santa Maria, which passed through only four people before it got to me, and yet it spanned the centuries from 1492 to the present time. The story was told me by Christopher Harmsworth, who died in 1885, at the age of 95—a clear headed old man with an excellent memory, especially for things he had learned in youth—like most old people. "Now, Harmsworth was born, of course, in 1790, and when he was a boy 10 years old, in England—that is, in the year 1800—his great-grandfather, then a man of 85, used to take him on his knee and tell the story to him. The great-grandfather, 'as you will see, must have been born in 1715. Wash with tepid water and a small quantity of soap-powder. Rinse with clean water, and, when dry, rub with furniture polish. Country Has No Railways. The principality of Montenegro is the only country in Europe which possesses no railways whatsoever. The published statements of a number of coffee importers and roasters indicate a "waspy" feeling towards us for daring to say that coffee is harmful to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the subject is quite agreeable to us and can certainly do no harm; on the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question are spread before the people they can thereupon decide and act intelligently. Give the people plain facts and they will take care of themselves. We demand facts in this coffee discussion and propose to see that the facts are brought clearly before the people. A number of coffee importers and roasters have joined a movement to boom coffee and stop the use of Postum Food Coffee and in their newspaper statements undertake to deceive by false assertions. Their first is that coffee is not harmful. We assert that one in every three coffee users has some form of incipient or chronic disease; realize for one moment what a terrible menace to a nation of civilized people, when one kind of beverage cripples the energies and health of one-third the people who use it. We make the assertion advisedly and suggest that the reader secure his own proof by personal inquiry among coffee users. Ask your coffee drinking friends if they keep free from any sort of aches and ails. You will be startled at the percentage and will very naturally seek to place the cause of disorder on something aside from coffee, whether food, inherited tendencies or something else. Go deeper in your search for facts. If your friend admits occasional neuralgia, rheumatism, heart weakness, stomach or bowel trouble, kidney complaint, weak eyes or approaching nervous prostration induce him or her to make the experiment of leaving off coffee for 10 days and using Postum Food Coffee, and observe the result. It will startle you and give your friend something to think of. Of course, if the person is one of the weak ones --- Gazed for awhile on the raring gloom; Till, on a sudden, my awe-struck glances Fell on a sentinel's heav'n-sent form, Driven, by pressure of circumstances, Out in that beautly storm. High on a magazine, bleak and lonely, Nobly he paced his appointed beat (Nothern, in the midst of the storm That little horror complained of heat), Daring an enemy's foot to touch on his Windy preserves, he was hurled about, Getting his signe well iced, not to mention Gizzard glizzed inside cut. Long I gazed on the gusty fellow; Gazed, till mine uglier moods were spent; Gazed till my whole soul seemed to melow Into a chastened and bland content; And, as I blessed him, and drew the curtain. Leaving him on his wind-swept mounds Life, I remarked, though a bit uncertain, Wasn't so bad, all round. Grumbler, such is the Grand Idea: Surely the moral is plain to see; When you need a cup of tea Think of the sentinel—think of me! Turn to Philosophy's consolation; Doubtless the gods may have used you ill; But—by a Merciful Dispensation— Others are worse off still! —London Punch. And the great-grandfather used to tell my friend Harmsworth that the Columbus story had been told to him when he was a boy of 9—that is in the year 1724—by an aged great-uncle of his who was nearly a hundred at the time, having been born in 1624. This great-uncle used to tell Harmsworth's great-grandfather that he had first heard the story when he was about 10 years old from the lips of one William Sutcliffe, a retired sailor, who was then in his 98th year, having been born in 1536. Sutcliffe went to sea when he was a boy of 12, shipping as cabin boy in a brig bound for Vigo, Spain, and there he fell in with an old sailor, 72 years of age, one Marco Guzman, who, as a lad of 16, had sailed with Columbus to discover the new world. And Marco, the sailor, told Sutcliffe the story. "So you see, from the lips of that sailor of the Santa Maria, to my each the story came through only four persons—Sutcliffe, the great-uncle, the great-grandfather and my friend Harmsworth. A few years ago, when Harmsworth was living, he could have said that between him and a sailor of Columbus only three lives intervened. So, you see, after all tradition is a thing not to be lightly disregarded." "And what was the story?" asked one of the party. "Oh, I have forgotten just how it went now," said the statistician. Whales Once Land Animals. Professor Boyd Dawkins says that whales once lived on land, and by long usage to swimming had their claws converted to paddles. Only 75 per cent. as many children are born in England now as were born thirty years ago. Coffee D and says "I can't quit" you will have discovered one of the slaves of the coffee importer. Treat such kindly, for they seem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual but sure destruction of body and health. Nature has a way of destroying a part of the people to make room for the stronger. It is the old law of "the survival of the fittest" at work, and the victims are many. We repeat the assertion that coffee does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appal the investigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is their statement that Postum Food Coffee is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed with a low grade of coffee and that it contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager $100,000.00 with them that their statements are absolutely false. They have not accepted our wager and they will not. We will gladly make a present of $25,000.00 to any roaster or importer of old-fashioned coffee who will accept that wager. Free inspection of our factories and methods is made by thousands of people each month and the coffee importers themselves are cordially invited. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely pure and made exactly as stated. The formula of Postum and the analysis made by one of the foremost chemists of Boston has been printed on every package for many years and is absolutely accurate. Now as to the food value of Postum, It contains the parts of the wheat berry which carry the elemental salts, such as lime, iron, potash, silica, etc., etc., used by the life forces to rebuild the cellular tissue, and this is particularly true of the phosphate of potash, also found in Graps-Nuts, which combines in the human body with albumen and this combination, together with water, rebuilds the worn-out gray matter in the delicate nerve centers all over the body and throughout the brain and solar plexus. Ordinary coffee stimulates in an unnatural way, but with many people it slowly and surely destroys and does not rebuild this gray substance so vitally important to the well being of every human being. These are eternal facts, proven, well authenticated and known to every properly educated physician, chemist and food expert. --- Severe Congestion of the Kidneys Soon Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills. Richard M. Pearce, a prominent business man of 231 So. Orange St. Newark, N. J., says: "Working nights during bad weather brought on a heavy cold, aching of the limbs and pain in the back and kidneys. Severe congestion of the kidneys followed. Besides the terrific aching there were whirling headaches, and I became exceed ingly weak. My doc brought on a heavy cold, aching of the limbs and pain in the back and kidneys. Severe congestion of the kidneys followed. Besides the terrific aching there were whirling headaches, and I became exceedingly weak.

A brown collie dog which showed considerable intelligence and much devotion to his master was the center of attraction among attaches of the city hall yesterday, says the Denver Republican, and when its story became known the faithful animal held a veritable reception at the entrance to Mayor Speer's office. L. R. Johnson paid a visit to the jail at the city hall on Tuesday on a matter of business, accompanied by his dog, and later went up to the first floor of the city hall to call on one of the taxasters. The dog busied himself with satisfying his curiosity concerning the sights to be seen at the seat of the city government, and in the flurry of the moment lost track of his master, who had in the meantime departed, thinking his pet had gone into the street. All day long the dog stood at the spot where he had last seen his master, but no one paid any attention to him. The porters and janitors and elevator man coaxed him and cailed him to leave the building at night, but the canine refused to budge and there he stood all night. He frisked his tafl and looked with friendly eyes on Colonel John S. Irby, the mayor's secretary, yesterday morning, when the latter came to "work," but preferred to stay out in the corridor when invited into the sanctum. All day long he wistfully watched the front door, looking for the reappearance of Mr. Johnson. No one paid much attention to him until the elevator operator began telling how the dog refused to move from the place where he alternately lay down and paced slowly back and forth. Finally somebody got the dog something to eat and drink. Neither would the animal touch. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon callers in Mayor Speer's office and nearby city employees heard a gladsome chorus of barks and yelps and saw a dog shoot like a streak toward the front doors of the hall. L. R. Johnson had come back for his dog. Please remember we never say ordinary coffee hurts everyone. Some people use it regularly and seem strong enough to withstand its attacks, but there is misery and disease in store for the man or woman who persists in its use when nature protests, by heart weakness, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney disease, weak eyes or general nervous prostration. The remedy is obvious. The drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease will continue in spite of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old-fashioned coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot breakfast or dinner beverage that has the deep seal brown color, changing to a rich golden brown when good cream is added. When boiled long enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee but very like the milder, smooth and high-grade Java, but entirely lacking the drug effect of ordinary coffee. Anyone suffering from disorders set up by coffee drinking (and there is an extensive variety) can absolutely depend upon some measure of relief by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. If the disease has not become too strongly rooted, one can with good reason expect it to disappear entirely in a reasonable time after the active cause of the trouble is removed and the cellular tissue has time to naturally rebuild with the elements furnished by Postum and good food. It's only just plain old common sense. Now, with the exact facts before the reader, he or she can decide the wise course, looking to health and the power to do things. If you have any doubt as to the cause of any ache or all you may have, remember the far-reaching telegrams of a hurt nervous system travel from heel to head, and it may be well worth your while to make the experiment of leaving off coffee entirely for ten days and using Postum in its place. You will probably gather some good solid facts, worth more than a gold mine, for health can make gold and sickness lose it. Besides there's all the fun, for it's like a continuous internal frolle to be perfectly well. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Md. Shampoo, Cutting and Curling.

Colfax Av. Denver, Cola SCHOOL GARDENS URGENTLY RECOMMENDED BY STATE SUPERINTENDENT. THEIR EDUCATIONAL VALUE Miss Craig Wants Gardens in Connection With All Colorado Schools—Tells How to Begin the Work. Denver.—With a view of encouraging the interest of the school children of Colorado in gardening, Miss Katherine L. Craig, state superintendent of public instruction, has issued a letter to school superintendents, principals and teachers asking them to assist in this movement. Miss Craig's letter follows: "Superintendents, Principals and Teachers: "I urgently request that you manifest an interest in, and lend a helping hand toward the establishing of gardens in connection with the public schools of this state. "Plants are living things; they require what all living things need—air, water, food, protection. Like other living things they die if neglected. "There is no surer way to touch the fundamental principle of right living than by a garden. Incidentally, it is responsibility, the best physical exercise and the best manual training—all in the fresh air and sunlight. "Children should be taught to realize personal obligation. Of course, this should not be beyond the daily strength more than a task of any kind, but obligation they should feel. "Gardening as a subject to be taught is a science and as a method it is the most substantial and practical basis for reading, writing, language work, arithmetic and nature study. "It presents a series of arithmetical problems. Ordinary teaching of arithmetic is in the abstract, but working out the problem in the garden brings it into the concrete. There is the measurement of the land, the plotting, the calculating of time and labor, the estimating of income, from each hill, from a row, from an acre. The child is presented with living conditions, and he becomes alive with interest because the problems deal with the business of life. "School gardening is not an imposed task, but an up-to-date educational problem with which nearly every state in the Union, and many foreign counreign countries, are dealing. "It has come to stay. It may meet with reverses for a season, but it is an aesthetic, moral, intellectual and vitalizing factor in education and, as some one has said, 'Blessed be the garden with its influences.' "I believe school gardening work should continue throughout the school year in regular courses. The lessons during the winter and spring should consist of practical work in making straw hotbed mats, mixing soils, testing seeds, soil studies, potting and repotting, grafting, spading, care of lawns, walks, drives, etc. "As soon as the gardens are planted the principal weeds should be studied, root, stem, leaf and, where possible, flower and seed. The children should be taught not only the name, but the uses if there are any, and the best manner and time to kill it. They should also be taught the history of our common plants, evergreens, flowerless plants, etc. "The work should include frequent talks on nature, written essays on gardening and outdoor trips to the parks. If this method of instruction was closely adhered to the influence of the garden on the children would be remarkable. "Respectfully yours, "KATHERINE L. CRAIG, "Superintendent of Public Instruction." READY TO ARBITRATE. Overtures Made by Striking Anthra cite Miners. New York.—Having failed to come to an agreement among themselves, the hard coal miners of Pennsylvania, through their representatives, Thursday proposed to the operators that all matters in dispute be referred to a board of arbitration, the miners resuming work at once. It is not believed that the operators will consent. Reports from various sections of the soft coal regions show the conditions in those fields are improving. There was more coal mined in that territory than on any day since the strike was inaugurated. The production of coal, however, is not as large as was expected. The proposition of the anthracite miners is that the arbitration tribunal be composed of the board of conciliation which was created by the award of the anthracite strike commission in 1903, with Judge George Gray of Delaware, or any person he may appoint, as chairman and umpire. If the operators accept the proposition and a convention of mine workers approves the plan, the 160,000 men now idle in the anthracite fields will return to work at once. While it has been reported for several days that the miners might ask that the differences be arbitrated, the proposition made to the mine owners to-day came to them as a great surprise, as they did not believe the union leaders were ready to leave the controversy to a third party at this time. That the operators will accept the miners' proposal as submitted is not generally believed; in fact, it is intimated that they may flatly refuse the offer, on the ground that existing conditions are the result of arbitration. The employers have decided to consider the miners' latest proposition and make an answer Monday. Deadly Hurricane. Honolulu.—The steamer Mona, which arrived here Wednesday, reports that 121 persons were drowned during the hurricane which recently swept over Tahiti and the neighboring islands. Of these victims one perished on the Tahiti, ninety-one natives and four whites on the Poumotus and twenty-four natives and one white on the other islands. ANOTHER RESCUE MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM THE COURRIERES MINE. IMMURED TWENTY-FIVE DAYS Auguste Berton Found Alive in the Pit and Brought Out to Greet His Wife as One Arisen From the Dead. Lens, France.—Another living survivor of the mine disaster at Courieres March 10th, was discovered this (Wednesday) morning and brought out of the pit. The man was found in pit four, of the Sallau mine. He was in good condition. According to his first statements, this man, Auguste Berton, suffered less than the preceding rescued men. One of a party of salvage men was working in the mine this morning when he felt the touch of a hand on his shoulder, and a man who turned out to be Berton, said: "I am saved." An affecting meeting occurred between Berton and his wife. Berton, who was covered with a layer of coal dust, described his experience as follows: "I was working with my cousin when an explosion occurred, and we became separated. Afterward, alone, I groped about in the darkness, trying to find an outlet. I first found a dead horse, but was unable to eat any of its flesh. "Later I found some lunch bags which had belonged to men who had been killed by the explosion, and I lived on the food I found in them. I suffered from the cold and took clothing and shoes from the dead. I also found three watches and 24 sous. At one time I gave up hope and tried to commit suicide by opening a vein. I slept ten times and tried to count the days, estimating that eight days had passed since the explosion." As the news spread through the region it caused extreme exasperation against the engineers who have been directing the salvage work. M. Leon, the state engineer, when he arrived at the pit, was surrounded by a crowd of people, who cursed and swore at him. One woman went so far as to strike the engineer. When the engineers came up from the Courriers pit at noon to-day they were attacked by a crowd of women, crying: "Death to the murderers!" They were rescued by a squadron of dragoons. The people are intensely excited. They believed that there are other men alive in the mine and serious disorders are threatened. A thousand women are thronging about the pit mouth and are forcing the barriers. The troops and gendarmes are trying to control the situation. Five search parties went down this morning to explore pit four, but up to 10:30 p. m. they had not discovered any survivors. Other parties are searching the mines and the chief engineer will remain below all night. The crowd several times during the day broke through the cordon of troops surrounding pit No. 4, excitedly questioning the salvagers, who stated that no further traces of survivors had been found. Several bodies of miners, with the appearance of not having been long dead and a living horse were discovered. The latter was in good condition. The crowds dispersed at midnight except for a few women, who refused to leave the vicinity of the pit head. In pursuance of Premier Sarrien's instructions, a judicial inquiry was begun against the state engineers, who, it is alleged, took over the superintendence of the salvage work from the company's engineers. Should this examination establish a lack of celerity, neglect of duty or incapacity on the part of the state engineers, prosecution will ensue on the charge of involuntary homicide, the penalty of which may be two years' imprisonment. Would Save Niagara. Washington. — A remonstrance against the recommendations of the International Waterways Commission regarding the diversion of the waters of Niagara river at the Fall of Niagara was filed with President Roosevelt Wednesday by officers of the American Civic Federation and the Merchants' association of New York. The commission recommended that legislation be enacted authorizing the diversion of 60,000 cubic feet of water per second. The remonstrance urges that the diversion of that amount of water would divert forty-eight per cent. of the water going over the American falls and would materially diminish the beauty of the cataract. Although the President had approved the recommendations of the commission in a message to Congress, he regarded the remonstrance as important and promised his callers to refer the subject to Secretary Taft and the members of the commission. Vesuvius Threatening. Naples.—There has been a great recrudescence of the activity of Vesuvius. An aperture 200 metres wide on the east side of the mountain is emitting lava and scoria in the direction of Pompeii. The flow of lava, which is accompanied by incessant rumblings from the crater, threatens to cut the funicular railway. Dense masses of dust and ashes surmount the cone of the crater like a cloud, and the wind causing a rain of ashes to fall all over the surrounding country. Torre Del Portici has been greatly damaged. All Naples is sprinkled with a thick layer of ashes and the volcano presents a threatening appearance. Lava is moving toward Bosco Trecase at a speed of about 100 metres an hour. It threatens shortly to reach Trecase, where the villagers have abandoned their houses. THE B.L. JAMES M. & M. CO.

As the first of may approaches and business changes are adjusting themselves for the New Year the regular annual labor troubles arise. The great National labor question this year resolves itself into the coal miners strike which began last monday April 2nd. How it is to terminate none are just able to predict but it is hoped arbitration will get in its perfect work and that both operators and miners will agree to a suitable wage scale. The local strike is inaugerated by the painters union, resolves itself on the question of open shop. While there may be some just reasons for complaint of the action of the octopus corporations toward the labor unions. The latter is not without fault in withholding the right to every man without regard to race to enter the open field of service and work for a living. As a race the Negro while sympathizing with the labor must line up with the capitalist in this struggle for it is the latter that makes it possible for him to find employment at any price. SECRETARY TAFT. On the front page of this paper will be found extracts of Secretary of War Tafts excellent address delivered to the student body at Tuskegee. In this address will be found sane, logical and prophetic truth and that optimism that every student of economic and political conditions must sanction. The evolution of the Negro as a citizen must proceed along normal and scientific lines. To vote undeveloped Negroes in great multitudes unrestricted was a menace both to the state and the voters themselves; while a gradual acquisition of political power accompanied by intelligence will be a blessing. This doctrine would be a benefit to the cities and local committees as well as in state and national elections. Such a vote will ultimately prove attractive to every political party and the Negro instead of being feared by one party and unappreciated by another will be desired and courted by both. This is the doctrine the COLORADO STATESMAN has been endeavoring to set before its readers in articles, "The A. B. C. of Politics." Now that an Independent and stalwart Republican high up in political circles has said it let us heed. Secretary Taft in this message has voiced sentiments that should be read and echoed from the house tops until every Negro voter in America shall see and feel the dignity of the franchise and use it as the most sacred obligation entrusted to his keeping. The Southern Demagogue who profess to have as much fear for the educated Negro as he does for the ignorant and vicious will find little comfort in the fearless words of Secretary Taft. NO PLACE FOR PICNICS. What is life without a picnic? and what is a picnic without a good grove? But where will you find the grove in or about Denver, that is the question that is troubling the people in Denver just now. This week the crack picnic manager of one of our "Biggest excursion lodges" moanfully reported to the fraternity which is always the "First of the season" that the lodge had no place to hold a picnic in the future and that one of its biggest sources of revenue was now cut off. Rocky mountain lake the rendezuous of "hot times" in the cool evenings of the past is now to be converted into a city park where there will be no more quarter of a dollar at the gate and a picnic without pasteboard fixings is not to be considered for a moment. All this but brings to our mind the words spoken two or three years ago by some of our far seeing men on the duty of providing a suitable place for summer gatherings for our people. messrs Cooper, Henry Pinn and others tried hard to interest individuals, clubs and lodges in the purchase of suitable grounds for such purposes and had at that time splendid options on good sites but the Negroes of the city were having so much fun on the "merry-go-round" at that time that he did not have time to consider it—now the fun is over, the band has stopped but the place for picnics is "nit." Poor Denverites. What shall we do? No more moonlight trips to Rocky mountain Lake. No more swell gate receipts and rake offs. What will we do? Buy some land and have a park of your own. NEGROES ATTITUDE TO CAPITAL. The Negro is the friend of capitalist. The race has always been with the people of wealth and will nodoubt always be with them, not out of sentimentality but because our salvation and protection are more safe in their hand, but it is hard to convince capitalist of this fact. They either do not understand our attitude toward them or to say the least do not appreciate it, except when their person or property is in danger then they fall back on the Negro for help. If capital could be made to see our loyalty to their interest they would open more doors for our boys and girls in the time of peace in order that the Negro could better protect them in the time of war. The Negro finds but few friends with the middle class as they do not have money to organize and promote great enterprises or build factories or construct railroads and street car system, which are a benefit to the public and the poor especially as these utility corporations furnish him cheap and rapid transportation to the suberbs where the poor can buy property reasonable and watch it grow in value and convenience because of the advantages of good street car system. The Tramway has done more for Denver's prosperity than perhaps any other agency in the city of Denver and for this ought to have not only extension of franchise but new ones to lay tracks in neglected portions of the city where small property holders will be greatly benefited. Colored voters have no argument or fight against the extension of these franchises, which means a larger Denver. The Negroes only plea is that the corporations shall remember that the colored brother is a friend and not a foe and that they ought to be suitably rewarded for their services and loyalty to their interests.

Go to the cellar and get a hod of coal. You should have a slow fire going in the kitchen range during the afternoon. Rake the coals down to a level bed and pour in the hod of coal and open the drafts. When the stovepipe shows red to the ceiling and the top of the range is a cream yellow, and is so hot that a drop of water will evaporate when within two inches of the surface, close the damper and wait until the range cools down to 365 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have no thermometer, borrow one from the neighbor. (It is a small courtesy, but one that will be appreciated if you suggest to your neighbor to bring her husband's slippers over and warm them on your range.) Put the slippers in the oven, close the door and go through the house, singing merrily to yourself. From time to time look at the slippers, turning them occasionally so that the heat may reach all sides of them. They are well warmed when the toes begin to curl. When this occurs, place them on the back of the range, covering them with a boiler lid. This will retain the heat. When you hear your husband coming up the steps, take up the slippers on a toasting fork and carry them to his den. Some practical housewives garnish with parsley, but this is a matter of choice.—Cleveland Leader. Pointed Out Contingency. Francois, head coachman to James Hazen Hyde, is of herculean proportions, for it is fashionable to have imposing, gigantic men for this office. Francois, who has worked for W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. O. P. Belmont and who, by request, led the coronation procession of the Russian czar, was recently the guest of honor at a dinner of racing men. The herculean Frenchman told at this dinner a story about a girl and a bookmaker. “There was a girl,” he said, “who went to the races and was attracted by the betting. “She mingled in the crowd about the bookmakers. The excitement prevailing there communicated itself to her spirit. She approached a bookmaker and said: “If I put a dollar on a horse and it wins how much do I get?” "If the horse starts at 60 to 1,' the bookmaker answered,'you get $61. If it starts at 20 to 1 you get $21. If it starts at 10 to 1 you get $11." "The girl still looed puzzled." "But,' she said,'suppose it starts at 1 o'clock?" I try my best to worry 'bout the troubles that they say Is loomin' in the future, lookin' bigger every day. I sure do love my country an' I know I ought to think Of the warnin' we've been gettin' that it's lingerin' on the brink Of every kind of smashup that is known to mortal man. I try to grieve and be as apprehensive as I can. But the sun comes out a-shinin' an' the bells begin to chime And there's so much good a-goin' that I haven't got the time. I try jay best to listen with a melancholy jirr An' offer some suggestions to pile up the load of care. The greed for gold, the lust for power and all that sort of thing I know is mighty serious if you'll jest make out to bring Your mind to bear upon 'em; but the laughter In the sky An' the swayin' of the branches as the wind goes dancin' by Sort o' keep the days n-steppin' to a light and careless rhyme. I try my best to worry, but I haven't got the time Maud Consented. An absent-minded clergyman tells how once he was unconsciously responsible for helping a bashful lover. His mind was filled with a subtle theological problem when a neighbor's daughter passed in company with a diffident youth. His thoughts were interrupted as she called out to him: "Oh, doctor, we are just going for a ramble. Won't you join us?" "With pleasure. Do you want the ceremony in a church?" The bashful lover was suddenly fired with an enthusiasm that four years of gnawing at his heartstrings had failed to arouse, and he fairly shouted: "Yes, yes, and if Maud consents, the sooner the better."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Forcing Nature Perhaps Every autumn the papers of the larger cities are much concerned over the inadequate school facilities and publish dreadful statistics of the thousands of pupils who must be placed on half time, yet it has long been known that in London schools the half-timers who work half of each day really progress faster than those who go to school all day. Have we not upset nature too quickly in our schools also?—American Medicine. Would Have Women Police. Mrs. Charles Goldzier of Bayonne, N. J., gravely suggests to Mayor Garven of that city that women be employed on the police force. With equal gravity his honor promises to give the matter his careful attention. Mrs. Goldzier's enthusiasm on behalf of her sex is well known. She is a member of half a dozen clubs in New York, believes in the single tax idea and is prominent in equal suffrage circles.

Mr. Johnson's chief made a desperate attempt to have him removed on two occasions, but the timely intercession of Booker T. Washington, who was petitioned by the Afro-Americans, saved him. The district attorney got mad, fighting mad, at this turn of affairs and moved to another burg. Mr. Johnson being the ranking assistant, immediately assumed charge of the office. JOSEPH H.

Chicago.—It was decided to-day (Wednesday) by Overseer Voliva of Zion City that in view of the announced return of John Alexander Dowie from Mexico and his declared intention of making a fight against the action of suspending him from office, that the present overseer shall be appointed receiver of the church of Zion and of all the public property standing in the name of the church. The courts will probably be asked to name Voliva as receiver within the next few days. It was also asserted by the officers of Zion City that if Dowie returns and commences legal action against the present officers of the church, or attempts to oust them, they will cause his arrest and prosecution on the charge of misuse of funds. Voliva to-day, acting under the power of attorney he holds from Dowie, filed in the office of the county recorder of Lake county an assignment to Deacon Alexander Grainger of all the annuities and bequests that have been made to Dowie and are still unpaid. A message was to-day received by Deacon Alexander Grainger from Dowie reading as follows: "You are hereby removed from your office as general financial manager, and all your offices. I warn you, should you undertake to exercise any authority as financial manager, it will be regarded as criminal." Deacon Grainger, after reading the message, declared that he would pay no attention to it, but would continue to discharge his duties as financial manager of Zion City. Overseer Voliva and other officers of Zion City, to-day called upon Deacon Wilhite, the newly appointed representative of Dowie, who was named yesterday as Voliva's successor in a message sent by Dowie from Mexico, to say whether he proposed to act with them or in behalf of Dowie. He however, sent a message to Dowie saying that legal counsel had advised him that Dowie's revocation of Voliva's power of attorney was illegal. The message sent to Dowie by Deacon Wilhite to-day is as follows: "Am advised that telegraphic powers of attorney are not effective. Titles to all real estate and personal property passed on Monday. Instruments conveying the same executed by your attorneys in favor of Grainger. Am powerless to assume control. Recommend that you stay there and consider particulars and full report from me before you return. Feeling very strong against you here. Wire reply." FATAL BALLOON VOYAGE. French Aeronaut Meets Death on Long Island. New York—Death in the waters of Bass creek, a small stream winding through the meadows along the south shore of Long Island, between Jones beach and Amityville, ended the daring balloon ascent Tuesday afternoon of Paul Nocquet, a French sculptor of note and an enthusiastic amateur aeronaut. The body was found Wednesday night on the muddy shore of the creek, where the tide had left it, and not a great distance from where Nocquet collapsed balloon was discovered late last night by the life saver of Jones beach. The discovery of the body put an end to a search which had included ocean, land and marshes and which had been begun under the direction of Nocquet's associates of the Aero club of New York as soon as word was received early to-day that the balloon had been found, with no trace of its missing occupant. Nocquet apparently landed safely with his car and in fighting his way out of the meadows in the darkness had traversed about two-fifths of the distance from Jones beach to Amityville, several miles, when he died. He had crossed thirteen or fourteen different islands and had swam or waded through the runnels between them. That Nocquet traveled as far as he did is considered wonderful. He must have struggled the last mile of the two he traveled under fearful difficulties. He essayed a trip that few men could possibly complete in daylight. The valve controlling ropes of the balloon when found indicated that the descent had been started by Norquet's action and that it must have been gradual. Pan American Congress. Washington.—The program of subjects to be considered by the Pan-American congress, which meets at Rio Janeiro in July, was unanimously approved by the Bureau of American Republics to-day. This program was prepared by a committee of which Secretary Root was chairman, and include the ambassadors from Brazil, and Mexico, and the ministers from Costa Rica, Chile and the Argentine Republic. Probably the most interesting of the subjects are embraced in resolutions affirming the adherence of the American republics to the principle of arbitration for the settlement of disputes arising between them with the expression of hope that the coming Hague conference will agree upon a general arbitration convention. Fears President's Power. Washington.—The House Wednesday listened to a criticism of the President on the part of Mr. Fitzgerald of New York for the failure of that executive properly to advise the House as to the objections he had to a certain bill so that it could be amended. Mr. Fitzgerald, in the course of the structures on the President, said: "This is not Russia. The President is not like the Czar, who originates and enacts legislation. The President may recommend, but he can never originate nor enact legislation. Somebody may say this is trivial. The history of all governments which have parliamentary institutions shows that the failure to resist trivial encroachments on the part of the chief executive has led to vast encroachments, until the legislative branch of the government existed in name only." WOULD YOU PLEASE HUSBAND? If You Would, Hesitate About Taking Following Advice. Young Wife writes: "I am very fond of reading advice to newly married folks. Recently I saw a hint that every husband is gratified if he finds his slippers ready warmed for him when he comes home evenings. Please advise me as to the proper way to warm slippers." Go to the cellar and get a hod of coal. You should have a slow fire going in the kitchen range during the afternoon. Rake the coals down to a level bed and pour in the hod of coal and open the drafts. When the stovepipe shows red to the ceiling and the top of the range is a cream yellow, and is so hot that a drop of water will evaporate when within two inches of the surface, close the damper and wait until the range cools down to 365 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have no thermometer, borrow one from the neighbor. (It is a small courtesy, but one that will be appreciated if you suggest to your neighbor to bring her husband's slippers over and warm them on your range.) Put the slippers in the oven, close the door and go through the house, singing merrily to yourself. From time to time look at the slippers, turning them occasionally so that the heat may reach all sides of them. They are well warmed when the toes begin to curl. When this occurs, place them on the back of the range, covering them with a boiler lid. This will retain the heat. When you hear your husband coming up the steps, take up the slippers on a toasting fork and carry them to his den. Some practical housewives garnish with parsley, but this is a matter of choice.—Cleveland Leader. Pointed Out Contingency. Francois, head coachman to James Hazen Hyde, is of herculean proportions, for it is fashionable to have imposing, gigantic men for this office. Francois, who has worked for W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. O. P. Belmont and who, by request, led the coronation procession of the Russian czar, was recently the guest of honor at a dinner of racing men. The herculean Frenchman told at this dinner a story about a girl and a bookmaker. "There was a girl," he said, "who went to the races and was attracted by the betting. "She mingled in the crowd about the bookmakers. The excitement prevailing there communicated itself to her spirit. She approached a bookmaker and said: "If I put a dollar on a horse and it wins how much do I get?" "If the horse starts at 60 to 1,' the bookmaker answered, 'you get $61. If it starts at 20 to 1 you get $21. If it starts at 10 to 1 you get $11." "The girl still looked puzzled. "But,' she said, 'suppose it starts at 1 o'clock?" High Winds Rare in Rome. Gales are very rare in Rome and never blow with extreme violence. The most striking peculiarity of the Roman climate is the absence of high winds. The air is pure and clear owing to the almost complete absence of smoke even in the winter months. The average yearly movement of the air is only five miles an hour. This is of enormous advantage in winter, since the "tramontana" (north wind), which is the prevailing wind in this season, is if strong, decidedly cold and bracing, but when under eight miles an hour is delightful for most people, including invalids. The south winds are essentially sea breezes. They frequently alternate with the tramontana. The sirocco (southeast wind), which fortunately does not often blow, is moist and enervating. It gives rise to languor in most individuals. Maud Consented. An absent-minded clergyman tells how once he was unconsciously responsible for helping a bashful lover. His mind was filled with a subtle theological problem when a neighbor's daughter passed in company with a diffident youth. His thoughts were interrupted as she called out to him: "Oh, doctor, we are just going for a ramble. Won't you join us?" "With pleasure. Do you want the ceremony in a church?" The bashful lover was suddenly fired with an enthusiasm that four years of gnawing at his heartstrings had failed to arouse, and he fairly shouted: "Yes, yes, and if Maud consents, the sooner the better."—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

A New Yorker was once referring to the stolidity and literal mindedness of the British shopkeeper, when he was reminded of an amusing experience of a friend in London. The American had been making several purchases in a jewelry establishment, among others a silver set, and finding that he had with him insufficient funds to defray the entire cost, he desired the clerk to send the set to his hotel, marked "C. O. D." Due note was made by the clerk; but when the articles arrived at the hotel the purchaser was surprised to find that no charges had been collected. Opening the package the American was dumbfounded to discover that each piece of silver had been carefully engraved, in a beautiful monogram, "C. O. D."—Success Magazine.

Eleven years ago, while on board the yacht Eliba at Gosport, he accidentally drank some detergent in mistake for porter, with the result that his gullet and other internal organs were destroyed. He was placed in the hands of an able surgeon, who not only saved his life, but also enabled him to live for more than ten years in comparative comfort by means of feeding through a tube in the side, leading directly to his stomach. It is remarkable that though unable to eat he could always enjoy a smoke. He was about forty years of age. Important to Mothers.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a powerful, invigorating tonic, imparting health and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak and slicky women who are "worn-out," "run-down" women, and especially for women who work in store, office, schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or serving chair, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has proven a priceless benefit because of its health-restoring and strength-giving powers. As a soothing and strengthening nervine, "Favorite Prescription" is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, St. John's wounds, and other distressing nervous symptoms and upon functional and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Cures obstinate cases. "Favorite Prescription" is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of "female weakness," painful periods, irregularities, prolapse or falling of the pelvic organs, back, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration. Dr. Pierce's medicines are made from harmless but efficient medical roots found growing in our American forests. The Indians knew of the marvelous curative value of some of these roots and imparted that knowledge to some of the friendlier whites, and gradually some of the more progressive physicians came to test and use them, and ever since they have grown in favor by reason of their superior curative virtues and their safe and business qualities. Your drugstore sell the "FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION" and also that famous alternative, blood purifier and stomach tonic, the "GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY." Write to Dr. Pierce about your case. He is an experienced physician and will treat your case as confidential and without charge for correspondence. Address him at the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.

There is a vital connection between amliability and digestion—between good cheer and assimilation. Laughter is the best friend the liver has, and depression, or melancholia, its worst enemy. Numerous experiments have shown that mirth and cheerfulness stimulate the secretion of the gastric juices, and are powerful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing this, many of us sit as gloomy and absorbed at the table as at a funeral. In many homes, scarcely a word is spoken at meals, outside of requests for an article of food. The meal hour ought to mean something besides supplying a mere animal function. The bell which calls the family to the table ought to be the signal for a good time generally, when all cares should be thrown off and everybody appear at his best. It ought to signalize the time for mirth and laughter. It ought to be looked forward to by the members of the family as the recess or nooning is looked forward to by pupils in school, as a let-up from the strenuous life.—Success Magazine Census of Newspapers.

The Doctor Named Them Correctly. Some one said "Coffee never hurts any one." Enquire of your friends and note their experiences. A Phila, woman says "During the last 2 or 3 years I became subject to what the doctor called 'coffee jags' and felt like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. It nauseated me, and I felt as though there was nothing but coffee flowing through my veins. "Coffee agreed well enough for a time, but for a number of years I have known that it was doing me great harm, but, like the rum toper, I thought I could not get along without it. It made me nervous, disordered my digestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distressing headaches. "When I got what the doctor called a 'coffee jag' on, I would give up drinking it for a few days till my stomach regained a little strength, but I was always fretful and worried and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug. "About a year ago I was persuaded to try Postum, but as I got it in restaurants it was nothing but a sloppy mess, sometimes cold, and always weak, and of course I didn't like it. Finally I prepared some myself, at home, following the directions carefully, and found it delicious. I persevered in its use, quitting the old coffee entirely, and feeling better and better each day, till I found at last, to my great joy, that my alliments had all disappeared and my longing for coffee had come to an end. "I have heretofore suffered intensely from utter exhaustion, besides the other ailments and troubles, but this summer, using Postum, I have felt fine." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Restaurant cooks rarely prepare Postum Coffee properly. They do not let it boll long enough.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY A CURE FOR DEBILITY Dr. Williams' Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Alling and Bloodless. When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless a wasting illness has preceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the verge of womanhood. Obscure influences, something unhealthful in one's surroundings or work, may lead to a slow impoverishment of the blood and an enfeeblement of the whole body. When a serious stage has been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it. Mr. C. E. Legg, of Tipton, W. Va., has found a successful method of treating weakness and bloodlessness. He says: "I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that began in the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indigestion and a bad state of my blood. I was anemic, as the doctors say. People generally would say that I didn't have blood enough, or that I didn't have the right kind of blood; mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of order. I was badly annoyed by sour risings from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and under my right shoulder blade." "How long did these troubles last?" "For over two years. For four months of that time I was under the care of a physician, but his medicine did me no good. Meanwhile I learned of the cures that had been wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "You owe your cure to these pills?" "I certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others to whom I have recommended them. They have real merit and I know of nothing that would take their place." For further information and valuable booklet address the Dr. Willhaus Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

I was greatly troubled; understood it was eczema. Tried various remedies so called, without effect. Saw your Cuticura advertisement, and got the Cuticura Remedies at once. Applied them as to directions, etc., and after two weeks I think, of use, was clear as a whistle. I have to state also that late last fall, October and November, 1904. I was suddenly afflicted with a bad eruption, painful and itching pustules over the lower part of the body. I suffered dreadfully. in two months, under the skillful treatment of my doctor, conjoined with Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, I found myself cured H. M. F.

HOW ANIMALS PLAY. They Are as Sportive as the Children of Men. The sense of humor in animals awakens very early. A ferret will play with her kittens, a cat with hers, a dog with her puppies. A mare will play with her foal, though perhaps seldom or never has any one seen a cow trying to amuse her calf nor any birds their young. If their mothers do not amuse them the young ones invent games of their own. A flock of ewes and lambs was once observed in adjoining fields, separated by a fence with several gaps in it, "Follow, my leader" was the game most in favor with this flock, the biggest lamb leading around the field and then jumping the gap, with all the others following in single file; any lamb that took the leap unusually well would give two or three more enthusiasts jumps or exuberant happiness when it reached the other side. Fawns play a sort of cross touch from one side to the other, the "touch" in each case being by the nose. Little pigs are also great at combined play, which generally takes the form of races. Emulation seems to form part of their amusement, for their races always seem to have the winning of the first place for their object, and are quite different from those combined rushes for food or causeless stampedes in which little pigs are wont to indulge. Racing is an amusement natural to some animals, and, being soon taught by others, becomes one of the most exciting pastimes. Many horses and all racing dogs learn to be as keen at winning as schoolboys. Birds delight in the free and fanciful use of their wings. There is all the difference possible between the flight of birds for "business" and pleasure, and many kinds on fine days will soar to vast heights for pleasure alone.

The public may rely on Where Life Is Held Cheap A New York contractor of prominence, according to Josiah Strong, recently told him that the killing of working men was cheaper than protecting them. The statement created a stir when made by Dr. Strong, who is president of the American Institute of Social Service, at the municipal art dinner. "Nine men are killed every day in New York," he continued, "in accidents which are for the most part avoidable. Our city is becoming a veritable human shambles." Coal mines and railroads, he said, were slaughter houses for the laboring men. Last year there were 2,500 accidents to laboring men that the public knew nothing about. Peruna Is Exempt. The internal revenue commissioner has decided that Pe-ru-na as now manufactured is exempt from internal revenue license. The highest medical and pharmaceutical authorities in the United States have passed upon the product. It must be highly gratifying to the many friends of Pe-ru-na and the local commercial world that the product which has carried Columbus' name into all continents, again enjoys the same fixed status as any other recognized medicine.—Columbus Dispatch.

How many women realize that it is not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Miss Irene Crosby Thousands of American women, however, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It eures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs these periods of their terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton Street, East Savannah, Ga., writes: "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a true friend to woman. It has been of great value to women in many and painful periods when everything else had failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, backache, bloating (or flatulence), displacement of organs, inflammation or ulceration, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for further free advice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising women free of charge. Thousands have been cured by so doing.

Atlas Centuries Old Probably Largest Book in World. Bigger than any other book in the world—that is, bigger in height and breadth—is a curiously unique atlas in the British museum. It contains a collection of the finest engraved Dutch maps of the Stuart period, and is bound in red leather, beautifully ornamented with gold designs, and is secured by three massive gilt clasps. This mighty volume measures five feet ten inches high, and is proportionately broad, being nearly square. The dedication page is hand drawn and richly illuminated. It was presented to King Charles II. immediately before he left Holland on his restoration to the throne in 1660. The only known contemporary reference to this volume is given by John Evelyn in his diary, under date 1660. "November 1 I went with some of my relations to court." says John Evelyn, "to show them his majesty's cabinet and closet of varieties. There I saw a vast book of mappings in a volume neere four yards large." The book came into the possession of the nation when King George III, bequeathed his library to the British museum. Here the great book is most tenderly guarded, for it is accounted one of the library's chief treasures. KEPT UNLIGHTED CIGAR WHOLE Stout Man Had Found Novel Use for Rubber Bands. The stout man stood puffing at an unlighted cigar, bandaged tightly with a series of rubber bands. Wrapped in this manner, the cigar gave the appearance of a fractured limb fresh from the hands of a surgeon. "I see you getting ready to ask the question," said the stout man. "You want to know what I have my cigar done up in these rubber bands for. Well, I'll tell you. It is a little trick of my own invention. I was a cigar fiend for several years, but I have now broken off the habit—haven't smoked one for several years. I am now trying to break myself of the chewing habit. This cigar, you see, gives me a dry smoke and an imitation chew at the same time. If something does not happen to it this cigar will last me two weeks. Those rubber bands keep it from falling to pieces." As to Clippings Some wise men go about with diminutive scissors in their vest pockets. Such may be used for ripping cloth when a customer wants a yard or two, or for clipping good things out of the newspapers. "Old Hickory" wants everybody to know that a clipping can be cut from a paper much better with the point of a common pin than with anything else. I believe him. For many years he has carried in his waistcoat pocket a large bank pin. Some men use the point of a knife blade, but not one man in 100 caries a sharp knife. The pin's the thing. Ask your banker for one—about $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches long. Just scratch the paper with it and the clipping will fall out.—Exchange. Vegetable Animals of Great Beauty. The car jelly fish, an habitue of the northern shores of Europe, has four lips, veined and curled like fern fronds, surrounding the velled mouth. The root mouth jelly fish is so called because, instead of one central mouth, it has a host of little mouths placed at the end of its eight large lips. This often swims in immense shoals, gleaming blue, pink, or yellow on the sunlit sea surfaces. Piazzli Smyth, an astronomer, once sailed through a stool forty miles broad near the Canary islands. He estimated that the superficial layer alone had a population of 225,000,000. At night they glow with a yellow green phosphorescent light. Nose Rings of Indian Women. Nose Rings or Indian Women. It is considered an insult and extremely indelicate in India to refer to a woman's nose ring. It is the badge of wifehood, even more sacred than our gedding ring, set always with the costliest and most beautiful jewels a woman possesses and the last she will part with. Every orthodox Hindoo woman has her pak chabi, or "nose key," as it is also called, usually two, one of precious jewels and costly pearls; the other a little plain gold safety pin, which is slipped in just as the great circle is being drawn out, for the nose must never for a moe be left free. All Things Necessary. A friend of mine who was very enthusiastic about things Irish, herself being an Englishwoman, was driving on an outside car in Dublin. She was praising everything to the carman and among the rest the famous Dublin stout with which she had just become acquainted. "What an excellent drink it is," she said, "why, it's meat and drink, too." "Thrue for you, ma'am," replied the cardriver, "an' a night's lodgin' too, if you drink enough of it." —Katherine Tynan in New York Sun Strong Words Come Handy. In America we will fight the swear- ing habit. We will admit that it is immoral and unwise to cuss, but there is a heap of comfort in the fact that when the jelly refuses to jell and the stepladder falls and the door closes on two fingers and a boll finds its rest ing place on the end of one's nose there are words, codles of them. In this good English language that might be used if a victim was so minded There is nothing like having a thing handy, even if you do not want it.
