THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAN AND NEW MEXICO. STEWED IN OWN BROTH Bruce Grit Prophesies Failure of Thomas Dixon's Campaign of Villification VOL. XVI The Negro has taken up the cudgel in his own behalf and will make some of the apt liars take to the tall timber if they do not choose fitter subjects. Our good friend John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. T., better known as Bruce Grit, is out in a pamphlet answering some of our critics who aver that the Negro is a failure as a soldier. Persons who wish valuable data and good sound "thunder" to fight the enemy with, will do well to send him 15 cents for a copy. In his closing pages he takes a shy at Tom Dixon, whose play is now touring the Northern States, to the end that his fallacies may be accepted as truth. He is the sturdy gladiator of old, piercing the joints of his opponent's armor with as quick and light touch as a skilled fencer. In part he says: The denunciation of the Clansman by Negroes is the very best kind of an DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, MAR 2, 1906. advertisement of its scurrilities and historical distortions. It cannot hurt but will help it immeasurably. Criticism and denunciation of things we personally dislike are sometimes more helpful to their success than the eloquence of silence. The best protest and answer to Mr. Dixon's dramatic slanders will be for Negroes everywhere in this country where this play is to be shown to treat it and its author with silent contempt. The more we say about it, the more we denounce it, the longer it will last. We should always and in all places show ourselves to be the very opposite of what Mr. Dixon in this play alleges Negroes to have been, at the period of which it treats. If within forty years the Negroes have not been able to emerge from the condition which they did not create, and in which they are State Historian & Natural History Society pictured in this coarse and brutal play then they deserve to be pilloried by this reverened author-playright, who seems to live in the past, and to thrive and fatten on offal. The Negroe's truest and best white friends will not permit themselves to be influenced by this play. The Negroes' enemies, with whom the wish is father to the thought, will naturally attend each performance and applaud the performers. We would nt throw a straw in the way of Rev. Dixon, to hinder him in his cowardly and unrighteous pursuit of a race which has shown only kindness to his, which has suffered more, endured more, to make his race strong and powerful, than he perhaps is willing to admit. He believes that he is right; we who are the subjects of his clerical venom know that he is wrong. The true white Christians of America, who possess the spirit of the lowly Nazarene, know that he is no friend of either race who appeals to the lowest passions of both, in a mad desire to stir up strife and create bad feeling between them. We believe in liberty, and so believing, we would not curtail the right of Mr. Dixon to exercise the liberty which the constitution of our country gives to every man. "O Liberty, dream of theAges of Ages. When shall thy To-morrow become our To-day." We would not deny to any man, even Rev. Mr. Dixon, liberty to make an egregious ass of himself by discarding the holy robes of an ambassador of Christ to become an apostle of the devil, a sower of discord, a purveyor of the gospel of hate, a revolutionist, an enemy of peace and harmony, and an iconoclast. Mr. Dixon is clear- MAN. NEW MEXICO. NO. 38 ly within his rights, as an American citizen let him exercise his rights. The production of the Clansman, in New York or elsewhere, cannot in anyway injure the Negro who is determined not to be injured by methods so out of harmony with the truth, justice and fair play. Honest men of all creeds and all races are not particularly concerned about what the Negro did forty years ago, but with what he is and is achieving to-day—this is the vital question. Those who are familiar with history know that the civilization of the South is responsible for the Negro whom Mr. Dixon holds up to scorn and ridicule in his books and play. The South has had over a century to produce the kind of Negro it would like to see in this country, but its civilization, religion and morals do not seem to have been equal to a task so stupendous. In now holding the Negro up to the gaze of the world as an object to be hated and despised, Mr. Dixon fails wofully to even hint at the cause of all his alleged moral and political lapses during the stormy period of which he writes so volubly and dogmatically. There are worse people than Negros in the South, and Mr. Dixon is one of them. We are content to let the public do its own thinking about the Clansman. Personally, we are not afraid of the aftermath, for we still have lost neither their self-respect, their sense of honor nor their love of justice. The Clansman is not going to turn the world over this year. Written by Robert Burns. Lady Nairne has been credited with the authorship of the song. "The Land o' th Leal," for over a hundred years. It is now settled that Robert Burns wrote the song on his deathbed. Lady Nairne changed it, making it ridiculous. NO.38 J. E.BRUCE. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Colorado Springs.

Beauteous star in the depths of night, Say whence cometh thy wondrous light. Is it a spark from the great unknown, Does thy radiance come from the great white throne? I have gazed on thee oft from this world below As in the blue depths you sparkle and glow. And thought, could the fancy of childhood be true. Stars were small holes where heaven's glory shone through. Sometimes as I've gazed on the gem-studded sky My thoughts like a meteor swiftly would fly And a species of awe o'er me suddenly creeps As I think of the eye that ne'er slumbers nor sleeps. And again as in childhood there cometh to me A hope or a phantom, whate'er it may be. That the friends who have left us and gone on before Are waiting for us on the opposite shore. And myth though it may be 'twill always be sweet. To think that once more our kind friends we may meet. That each star is a soul with a bright taper given To lighten our pathway and guide us to heaven. Necessary Use of Consonants. In a recent book on his adventures in Tibet, Col. L. A. Waddell writes: "One curious result of the cold should be mentioned here—namely, its effect upon the speech of the people. A peculiarity of the language of the Tibetans, in common with the Russians and most arctic nations, is the remarkably few vowels in their words and the extraordinarily large number of consonants. For example, the Tibetan name for Sikhim is Hbrasljongs. Indeed, so full of consonants are Tibetan words that most of them could be articulated with almost semicclosed mouth, evidently from the enforced necessity to keep the lips closed as far as possible against the cutting cold when speaking." He Showed How It Happened. J. Weston of Oxford county, Maine, tells the following story of a neighbor of his who had the misfortune to fall from a scaffold in his barn and fractured several ribs: After a long and tedious illness he was able to walk around, and he wanted to show a friend how he met with the accident. They went to the barn, and he laboriously climbed to the scaffold. "I was standing right here and started to cross, at just this place," he said, "and when I put my foot on this board, down I went, and—hellity blazes, here I go again." It is needless to say that the "last state of that man was worse than the first." Much More Serious. He—What? You can't go to the opera with me to-night? You promised to. She—I know, but it is impossible. "Ha! I see it all. You love another." "O, no—no, indeed." "Then you have determined to trample on your own heart and marry some man for his money. Aha! You shrink! You expect him to call this evening. Perfidious—" "Please, please, don't. It is not so." "Then why won't you go?" "I—I can't get my coat on over the sleeves of my new dress."—Stray Stories.

Fat Man Had Remedy He Knew by Experience Was Good. "It is the funniest thing in the world" remarked the dejected looking man as he sat opposite the fat man in the smoking compartment. "Can I take it that you refer to politics?" asked the other. "You can." "And that you have lately been a candidate for office?" "That is the case. I was a candidate for the mayoralty in my town." "Shake," said the other as he reached out a hand. "I've been there. First came a delegation of citizens looking for an honest man. I was the man. They begged of me to take the nomination. I took it. Next came a hurrah in the papers about 'Honest Dan,' as they called me. Then the wheelhorses gathered about me and set the ball to rolling. Then the popular enthusiasm was aroused. Then came predictions that I would run the other fellow thirty miles into the woods. Then came my little campaign contribution of $3,000. Then followed the—" "The election," said the dejected man. "Yes, the election. I had press and pulpit and the people with me, but—" "You were snowed under?" "Ten feet deep. I was thrown down. I was pulverized. I was paralyzed. I was knocked out. I looked just like you do, and I felt just like you do, and—" "And how did you get over it?" The fat man leaned forward and put his hand on the other's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Took cod liver oil! Try it once and you will use nothing else."—Baltimore American. Occasionally a man sheds tears at the loss of his wife's pug dog—but they are tears of love. When a man begins to shoot off his mouth at a social function his wife proceeds to look daggers.

It is rather odd, too, seeing how many charming women do in real life wear them, and are not debarred by them from the most dramatic careers and the most poignant emotions. But while the modern novelist has bestowed eye-glasses on everybody else he has not yet had the hardihood to put them on the nose of his heroine. Why?—By Mrs. John Lane in the London Outlook.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst our much beloved sister, Jane Smith, who has been a good, faithful, and true Ruth for the period of 20 years. Be it resolved, that we, the House Hold, do deeply feel her lost, as the "vacant chair" can never be filled. As this is the second golden link that has been broken in three weeks in our order, we must look to, and ask our heavenly father to heal a double sorrow as he has always answered a Ruth prayer. Be it further resolved, that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, and especially her niece, who so tenderly cared for her during the long and weary months of her illness which nothing but love can give us the strength and patience to do for each other.

T. BRUCE MARY E. HOLMES Origin of Modern Home. In the Middle Ages there were two forms of house, the castle, built on stone and designed especially for defense, and the miserable hut of the peasant, built of timber and stucco and thatch. When feudalism fell and the world became more secure, the modern home, designed for residence and not for defense, replaced the fortress. Value of Elephants. An African elephant is of value only for its ivory, of which a full grown animal yields from $250 to $300 worth. On the other hand, a working Indian elephant can not be bought for less than $2,500 to $3,000. This is because of the greater intelligence of the Asiatic animal, which makes him valuable as a servant. Some Doctors Are So Finicky.

Structure Still Standing at Mercersburg, Pa., in Which Was Born the Only Chief Executive Pennsylvania Has Given to the Nation. How few Pennsylvanians ever stop to reflect that the Keystone State has given birth to but one president of the United States - James Buchanan. Franklin county claims the distinction of being the birthplace of this notable executive. He was born in a gorge in the mountains just off the turnpike which leads from Mercersburg to McConnellsburg on April 23, 1791. The house in which he first saw the light of day (considering that there were but two tiny windows to admit the light, the expression seems rather paradoxical) was a little log cabin. In late years this cabin has been moved to Mercersburg where it still stands, in Fayette street, and is now occupied by a colored family. Think of the policies for which Buchanan stood touching the negro race, add the fact that negroes now live in the edifice of that president's nativity, and surely you have the irony of fate in one of its most startling twentieth century exemplifications! A few of the foundation stones are left to mark the place where the Buchanan cabin stood in the mountains, but most of them have been used for the foundation of a school house near by. At the time of his birth the turnpike had not been made, but there are still traces of a packer's path which ran on one side of the house, and of a wagon road on the other side. Stony Batter, as his birthplace is called, was one of the few places in those days where farmers from the western counties came with pack horses laden with the produce of their lands which they exchanged for the necessaries of life brought there from the city of Baltimore. Near where the cabin stood flows a little stream called Trout Run and all around the mountain peaks tower aloft in surpassing grandeur and sublimity. These mountains were and are even at the present time infested with bears, panthers and wildcats, and there is a tradition that the solicitous mother of Buchanan was wont to tie around little Johnny's neck a bell so that she might know in the midst of her household cares that her boy was safe. In the year 1796 Mr. Buchanan removed with his family to the village of Mercersburg, where he sought a wider field for his business career that of a country merchant. At this time young James was about 5 years of age, and here he attended school until the year 1807, when he was sent to Dickson college, Carlisle, from which institution he was graduated with honor in 1809. An amusing incident is told regarding his trip to Carlisle, which he made on horseback behind his father. As they left the town a neighbor woman ran out of her house crying: "If you take James to that bad school he will be ruined and come home good for nothing." Mariner's Compass. The Chinese invented the mariner's compass 3,000 years ago. It appears that there are many female Shylocks in London.

Daniel Webster once dined with an old Boston merchant, and when they came to the wine a dusty old bottle was carefully opened by the servant and passed to the host. Taking the bottle, he filled Webster's glass and handed it to him. Then, pouring out another for himself he held it to the light and said: "Tow do you like it, Mr. Webster." "I think it is a fine specimen of old port." "Now, can you guess what it cost me?" asked the host. "Surely not," said Webster. "I only know that it is excellent." "Well, now, I can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the other day. When I add the interest to the first price, I find that it costs me the sum of just $1.25 per glass." "Good gracious! You don't say so?" cried Webster. And then, draining his glass, says a biographer, he presented it again, with the remark: "Fill it up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that confounded interest!"

Males Always Buried with Instruments of the Chase in Their Cairns—Worn out Razors Put to Strange Use by the Survivors. Labrador's dreary waste is peopled, generally speaking, by a few scattered tribes of Montagnais Indians, while its seaboard in the north is occupied by about 3,000 Eskimos. Each race has its peculiar burial customs, interesting if awesome. When a member of a community dies the Eskimos carry the body to the top of a hill near their settlement and there lay it, in a sitting posture, on the surface of the hard, flinty ground. Heavy stones are piled about it in the form of a cairn, completely covering is so that the wolves and bears may be unable to disturb the body. The malé is buried with his weapons of the chase and the female with her domestic implements. After years, when the action of summer suns and winter snows has broken down the mount of stones, it is not uncommon for other natives to help themselves to the stone lamps, flint and ivory arrow and lance heads and other articles of value to them which are found lying beside the bodies. But in every case some substitute, even if less valuable, is placed there instead of what has been removed. It is the idea of the pagan Eskimos that though the spirit of the dead person has reached the other world and no longer needs the articles, the ghosts who attended on him in life have to be propitiated by keeping up the number of articles originally placed in the grave, even if the material of these is deported from. The Moravian missionaries humor the natives whom they have Christianized by practicing this habit of substitution, and a favorable article to place in the graves is a rusty razor. Many years ago some admirer of the mission sent out an enormous quantity of razors in the belief that they were in general use. But the last thing one would contemplate doing on this coast in winter would be to use a razor. As no other use could be found for the razors they have been devoted to this peculiar purpose, and so it is common to see in every Eskimo grave that has been opened an appliance which no old-time Eskimo ever heard of. These curious customs are transmitted from people to people. The Montagnais Indians have a somewhat similar practice. They bury their dead in a box or coffin made out of bark, and in this are placed a loaded gun, a horn of powder, a bag of shot, a pouch of tobacco, a flint and steel for striking fire, an ax and a pair of snowshoes. The burial place is likewise a hill-top, as it is impossible to dig underground in Labrador for eight months of the year, and stones are also used to cover the coffin. But they are so arranged that some can be removed after ten days when the relatives return and take out these valuable articles. It is held that by that time the dead one has reached the happy hunting grounds and has no further use for them. But even they, too, substitute wooden sticks for the gun, ax and snowshoes, and skins for other articles. Needed No Divine Aid. Ethel, one of New Hampshire's 7 year-old daughters, is devoted to the birds. She was enraged at her older brother; whose keenest enjoyment seemed to be to trap them. She pleaded with him and scolded him, but all to no effect. So Ethel took a new tack. When prayer time came the other evening her mother heard this final petition added to those which dealt directly with the spiritual and material welfare of the family: "An', dear God, please smash all Willie's nasty traps, for Jesus's sake. Amen." "Ethel, dear," said mother, seriously, do you really think that last is a nice thing to ask God to do? Do you expect Him to do such a thing as that?" Ethel smiled beamingly, and answered: "Oh, that'll be all right, muzzer. Jes' before I comed upstairs I smashed 'em all my own self."—Lippincott's. Brutal Man. Men say they cannot stand paint, powder, make-up, or cosmetics of any kind, yet they expect their womenkind to have an ever-youthful complexion and never to look fagged and worn out. They relegate to women all the petty cares of a household, and often leave the wife in the morning in a complete chaos of domestic afflictions, with the sage and stoic advice, "Not to worry."—London Woman. Royalty Incognito in London. The police of London can boast that their town entertains unknowingly more royal folk than any other in Europe, and without an accident befalling any of them. Once upon a time a German princess did sprain her ankle as she came down from the top of a bus, but that is the most serious casualty that ever befall a personage visiting the town unofficially. Somewhat Starting. The conversation had turned upon old-fashioned music. Smithson Jones who was not musical, was suddenly startled by the lady at his side. Mr Smithson Jones, did you ever attempt to play the lyre?" "The liar? Why bless my soul, madam, not that I know of; I mean, unless, of course positively compelled to do so."—Comic Life. Britain's Oldest Office. The oldest office under the crown is that of lord high steward, which was in existence before the time of Edward the Confessor; indeed, some authorities say that it was instituted by Offa in 757. For a long period this official was second only to the king, and the office was for some time hereditary in certain noble families. Monument to Clown. A well-supported movement is on foot to erect a handsome monument to Joe Grimaldi, the clown, who died in 1837, and whose tombstone in the graveyard of St. James', Pentonville, London, is in a diplapidated condition. Grimaldi was the originator of the clown's slogan, "Here we are again!" Lutherans in Honolulu. The Lutheran church in Honolulu, Hawaiian Territory, has 100 members who worship in the German language.

Don't fancy that all your friends are wondering why you never married —possibly their wonder would have been even greater had you married. Don't be continually talking about what a great beau you were in your younger days. That you are still unmarried is sufficient evidence that you were, at least, an unsuccessful one. Don't become cranky and notional and set in your ways. Of course you are minus your "better half"; but make the best of the half you have, and you can grow old lovably, even though you are a bachelor. Don't pose as being superior to woman's charms. You are not. It would be impossible for you to be superior to the charms of a good woman; but you might be inferior to them. Better remember this. Don't set yourself up as an authority on the cost of living, though married. Wait until you have bought a woman's Easter hat, or an opera dress, or a set of furs, or a winter cloak. The experience will prove to be a great educator. Don't become cynical and try to be wittily smart at the expense of others, especially the married. It only advertises your own discontent and envy. --- besides, cynicism is a friend-polsoner; and a bachelor needs to keep his friends.—Everett McNeil in The Sunday Magazine. LOVE AND MARRIAGE. Marriage is a safety pin that often comes unfastened. The man who marries at twenty is generally a pessimist at thirty-five. Many a man who wouldn't buy a pig in a poke is a victim of love at first sight. A married man either longs for some excitement to relieve the monotony, or some monotony to relieve the excitement. Happiness is a toss-up between a married man's warning and a bachelor's advice. PRESENT-DAY PHILOSOPHY. When a man or a woman doesn't care, the case is hopeless. Overeducated men are like overfed men, only the indigestion is intel etual. In America, the real imperialist is a child. Half the world struggles to straighten out what the other half does wrong. Add whiskers to self-esteem and the case is hopeless.—American Magazine. Personal Briefs, Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are.

Mother Matrons Grigsby, Mason, Lawson who with Mrs. Washington were in charge of the entertainment of the Golden Gate Juveniles, desire on behalf of the organization to thank the lodges and unions which assisted in making it a success, also Drill Master Logan and Lily Cadets, also Drill Master Williams, and Bro Jas. Mason. Father Guardian Lawson says the Juveniles will be a permanent team and will contet with any team. Mrs. Mary Allen is being visited by her daughters, Edna and Edith of Valentine, Nebr. Mesdames Lavender, Wilson, Maupin, Hicks, W. L Stone, and Paxton Boyer were the delighted guests of Mrs. DeMar of 1813 Clarkson St. at a nine course dinner Monday afternoon. Mrs. Rosa Sides' restaurant still keeps that home-like appearance which the patrons are ever glad to see. The good, substantial, a d wholesome food she prepares, is the standing advertisement she carries. Because of the many receptions given at the Country Club, Mr. Stell, the favorite headwaiter, was compelled to increase his working force to eleven. Mrs. Jennie Smith, aunt of Mi-s Cox, died last Friday morning and was buried Sunday from Shorter Rev. Dyett officiated. She was an old citizen and her presence will be greatly missed in the community. The Household of Ruth assisted in the ceremonies. Meodames Mary Brown and A.Hall are ill. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Sunday evening Dr. S. J. Wilson will occupy the pulpit at Scott M. E. Church. The morning service will be conducted by Rev. Randolph. Rev Williams left for Colorado Springs today where he conducts the Sabbath services. From there he goes to the annual conference at Ardmore, I. T. The last Sunday in February brought the Sunday Alliance another fine program. Each participant was alive to his subject and handled it with such cars and skill as to show their thoroughness in the preparation. A paper "The necessity of the mother training her children to think properly along political lines," by Mrs. Irene Fife, was a gem full of advice even to the slippery boss whose presence is so familiar in Denver. In presenting this paper she was fearless and independent in thought and her original way of putting hard and perplexing questions so ticklish in their nature were far reaching in effect. The talk made by J J. Manuel along the line of fairness, information and independent thinking, showed that he believed in high ideals. He also showed very clearly how the Negro was losing power politically. He arraigned the party bosses for their cowardice and inertness and warned the Negro that unlese he looked to his own interest the bosses would be bigger than the real cause he is seeking to better. Sunday will be a business meeting. A. J. Riley visited the Springs and Pueblo Sunday. It is well known that there are two laundries in the city run by our people who are doing a good business, the Gibb's laundry on Logan ave., and Mrs. Washington of Harman. Ward A. M. E. Church will hold its second quarterly meeting next Sunday. Rev. Hubbard will occupy the pulpit morning and evening and Rev. Goens will preach the communion sermon at 3 o'clock. Music will be furnished by the choir of Campbell Church. FOR RENT—Furnished rooms at 2443 Lawrence street. 39 FOR RENT—Furnishel front room suitable for man or lady.

A new exclamation is likely to come into vogue, according to Mr. James Platt, Jr., in "Notes and Queries." The word is "hooshtah," and it is an importation from Australia. Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducing the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines. Show yourself a race lover by patronizing them. Be a booster. Independence is a great thing, but it is not to be carried too far, and the quickest way to it is frequently found by putting our independence in our pocket for a while, and benefiting by the experience of others. Really Humorous "Bull." A correspondent of a weekly journal makes a curious bull. Of a certain plan he writes: "It sounded well but the seed of suspicion was planted in my mind's eye and I forced it on with surmise." Deaf-Mute Conversation. A deaf-mute who is fairly expert at finger language can speak about forty three words a minute. In the same space of time a person in possession of his speech will probably speak 150 words. Bird Builds Biggest Nest. The mound bird, found in Australia, builds the biggest nest in the world. It makes mounds sometimes as great as 150 feet in circumference, in which it buries its eggs five feet deep. FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" SO STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation to know that makes kinky or curly hair straight. As shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to 6 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmless, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") has been made and sold continuously about 1858, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW" was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1874. In all that long period of time there has never been a bottle returned from the hundreds of thousands we have sold. FORD'S HAIR POMADE remains sweet and effective, no master how long you keep it. Be sure to get Ford's, as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT, and PLIABLE. Beware of imitations. Remember that Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") is put up only in 20 cts. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford Frest. on each package. Refuse all others. Full directions with every bottle. Price only 20 cts. Sold by druggists and dealers. If your druggrist or dealer can not supply you, he can procure it from his jobber or wholesale dealer or send us 20 cts. for one bottle postpaid, or $1.45 for three bottles or $2.50 for six bottles, express paid. We pay postage and express charges to all points in U. S. A. When ordering send postal or express money order, and mention this paper. Write your name and address plainly to The Opened by JOS. H.

In Cyrus Field's original cable the weight of the ocean section was a ton for every nautical mile, 107 pounds being the weight of the copper conducting wire, the remainder being the weight of the insulating material and protecting sheaths of land iron wire. The French cable of 1898, typical of the modern cables, has a weight of 661 pounds of copper conductors and 400 pounds of gutta percha insulating material to the nautical mile. Flow of Rivers. The flow of rivers, as might be supposed, is the slowest at the bottom of the water and highest at the top. The average velocity of the entire stream is found, as a rule, at about six-tenths of the depth. The friction of the bottom which retards the movement of the deepest water is much greater, relatively to the whole volume of the stream, in a shallow river than in a deep one. Treasure in Russian Churches. The treasures of the various Russian churches are of fabulous value. St. Isaac's cathedral, in St. Petersburg, is said to have cost $50,000,000. Its copper roof is overlaid with pure gold. In the Cathedral of Kazan the name of the Almighty blazes in diamonds from a cloud of beaten gold under which are solid silver doors, twenty feet high. The drama embraces and applies all the beauties and decorations of poetry. The sister arts attend and adorn her; painting, architecture, and music are her handmaidens; the costliest lights of a people's intellects burn at her show, all ages welcome her.—Robert Willmot THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Deficient in Good Breeding. Not only at election times was kissing a curtesy, but up to the middle of the eighteenth century the male visitor who neglected to kiss all the ladies on entering a room was considered deficient in good breeding. Parasols and Sunshades. "I always thought," remarked an English judge, "that a parasol and a sunshade were the same." "No," replied the witness on the stand; "a sunshade is to keep the sun off; a parasol is to flirt with." Spider Builds Raft. The raft spider gets the name from its habit of building a raft of dry leaves and other light materials fastened together firmly by threads of silk, in order to pursue its prey in the water. Three Causes of Death. There are only three immediate causes of death: The stoppage of the functions of the cerebro-spinal nervous system, of the lungs, or of the heart. Willie Wanted His "Dad." When Willie Simmonds of McIndoes. Vt., was about 18, his folks moved to Boston, leaving Willie in McIndoes. After a while Willie decided to join them, so started out alone for the big city. He had never been in the city before, and thought every one should know every one else, as in the town where he came from. Arriving in Boston, he was rather surprised at the greatness of everything and at the number of people on the streets. After looking around for a while, and not seeing any one that he knew, he finally saw a man in uniform whom he thought must be a very important person, and would certainly know his father. So he walked up to the surprised officer and asked: "Say, mister, have you see anything of dad around here?"—Boston Herald. That's What He Is Paid For. The cares of state don't rest so heavily on Mr. Root's shoulders that they kill his love for a joke now and then, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The other day one of a crowd of newspaper men asked the Secretary for the latest news in the Venezuelan situation. "Venezuelan situation?" replied the Secretary with a bland smile. "I didn't know there was a Venezuelan situation." "According to reports Minister Russell is having a hard time—" "Well, that's what he is there for," said Secretary Root with another of his expansive smiles. "We can't pay our ministers big salaries, you know, without expecting them to Jo something to earn the money." Unreliable. Unreliable. "Martha," said a Westport woman to her negro cook, "when are you and Abe going to be married?" "Doan' know es Ah'll mahry da man," replied the cook. "What's the matter, now?" she was asked. "Well, ma'am," the cook said, shaking her head, "Ah hear Ab been runnin' around wif ernuthah woman.
