The Odd Fellows of Rocky Mountain Lodge gave the first entertainment of the year at East Turner Hall Tuesday night. The feature of the evening was the reproduction of the "Darling of the Regiment." The cast was substantially the same as before. Col. Reynolds.....Mr. Pearl Porter Lieut. Gregory.....Mr. Daniel Williams Lord Merrifield.....Mr. B. W. Fields Sergt. Major Steele.....Mr. N.

Dancing was a feat of strategy at the annual entertainment of the Masons of Rocky Mountain Lodge No.1. The crowd was a record-breaker. Both in numbers and in deportment and enjoyment it rivaled anything ever in the city. The popularity of the order and of this lodge could not have been better shown. The committee, under the chairmanship of J. R. Contee, can congratulate themselves, for the patrons heaped praise upon them unstinted. The feature that pleased many was the keeping of the entertainment free from contact with the bar which is usually run by the management of the hall. Harris' Orchestra played for the occasion.

DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 4, 1907.
Rice Lodge of Elks held its installation of officers Wednesday night. The position of exalted ruler for the next year will be held by H. J. M. Brown, who is one of Denver's best citizens, a taxpayer and a progressive man who is interested in various business ventures. W. A. Rice, who was the organizer of this lodge, and who is the West's representative on the roster of grand officers, will be secretary. Other officers have been equally well chosen. With practical unanimity the lodge is pushing on for the greatest year in its history. The retiring officers have made a good record, yet with more knowledge of themselves and the order, it is hoped to add new members to the glory of the local members.
Campbell Church is making a great fight to get ahead of its indebtedness. This is the down-town church of its denomination and will receive the sympathy of all people in its efforts. The series of entertainments which will be given there next week will receive a greater patronage. The struggles of a congregation to erect a house of worship deserve encouragement. The pastor and people through this paper wish to thank all for what has already been done and solicit a further support during this coming week.
For the faithful services which he has rendered the firm of Stearns-Roger, dealers in mining machinery, Wm. Sprague was the recipient of a check for $175 as a Christmas reminder.
A new organization that has prospect of wide usefulness is the Soda Dispensers Mutual Benefit Association. It is a beneficial society and will assist in finding employment as well. Its members comprise the best soda men in this western country. Already thirty have joined and as time goes on it will spread to surrounding cities. The organization will come before the public next Tuesday with an entertainment to strengthen its treasury for its laudable purpose. Before the soda dispensers perfected their organization, their entertainments were such as to be eagerly looked forward to and now they will be better than ever before.
Mrs. Chas. Miller, who was the guest of Mrs. Nannie W. Welsh, has returned home. While here she was royally entertained by the lady Masons, of which her host is a member. The various auxiliaries of Shorter Church remembered the pastor and his esteemed wife with a beautiful jardaniere as a holiday token. The children also were remembered by friends.
The Bon Vivants gave their dinner to their ladies last Thursday night at the hall of 1712 Curtis street. This club is composed of the celebrated reconteurs of the city and is catered for in the swellest style. This is the largest and most formal dinner of the year. The spread included the rarest delicacies, costly wines and viands. To do justice to a description of the dinner would be difficult. Suffice it to say that the Bon Vivants gave it and that they and their ladies know the right thing to do in the way of entertaining and do it.
Rev. L. J. Jones of Denver has organized a colored Baptist church in Boise. The congregation has taken the name of the St. Paul Baptist church. They will hold services each Sabbath in the G. A. R. hall. This is the first church organization in the city composed of colored people.
The legislature is in session. J. Jennings of Pueblo and Mr. Fox are the lucky ones to make their way into the legislative halls and have their names enrolled on the pay roll. They are both employed in the House of Representatives.
NO.25
There was a good audience at Shorter Church last Sunday to hear and participate in the emancipation celebration exercises under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance. Dr. Westbrook presided and Rev. Ford delivered an address. Musical numbers enlivened the program. It was such a gathering as indicates the lively interest that thinking members of the race have in its progress.
One of the prettiest and best things that has come out this holiday season is the calendar of the Ideal Drug Store. It is new and original. It represents the product of the brain of the proprietors in designing. Instead of the stereotyped designs so often seen, they show four colored children engaged in playing surgeon. Three of them are Dr. Spratlin's and the fourth Dr. Faulkner's, and they bear the very appropriate label, "Our Ideals."
The Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Circle of Central Baptist Church will give, on Thursday, January 10, at the church, a grand musical. Some of the best talent in the city will take part. The public is invited to take part. Admission, 10 cents.
CANON CITY. COLO.

The Christmas exercises by the little folks were fine and enjoyed by all. The Mission Circle raised $11.00 at their entertainment Friday night and at service Sunday evening they raised $8.00. The program rendered by the ladies on mission work was very good. Rev. J. Evans preached a very interesting sermon, which was enjoyed by all. The B. Y. P. U. had election of officers.
ALBUQUERQUE NEWS.
The Baptist Church held union services at A. M. E. Church last Monday evening, watching the old year out. Revival meetings are in progress at the churches and several new accessions have been made.
Mrs. A. E. Reynolds and her four children, Miss Cortie, Everet Leatha and Vernon left Sunday to join their husband and father, Rev. Reynolds, of Canon City, Colo. A reception was held in their honor Friday evening at the residence of Mrs. T. K. Lawers, W. M., matron of Ivy Eastern Star Chapter. Mrs. A. E. Reynolds and Miss Cortie were active members of this institution, which did them honor before their departure. The Reynolds family has lived in this city for the past two years and their many friends were sorry to have them leave.
There was a wedding at the African Episcopal church last evening. The bride and groom were Victor Stewart and Miss Lula Brown, both members of the congregation. Mr. Stewart is the porter at the Oak barber shop. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart are at home at 424 West Lead avenue.

Always Staunch And True
Always Staunch And True
The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing iast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education and the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, to his family, and to the community.
In no other way can the investment of 2 1/2 cents per day for that is all The Republican costs any subscriber-bring such rich results in that Knowledge which is both Power and Pleasure Information, instruction and entertainment fill its columns and it leaves a good taste in the mouth of the reader.
It stands for Law and Order in the State-for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness in the Home. If you are not already enrolled among its splendid list of Patrons send on your subscription and give it a fair trial at 75 cents per month for Daily and Sunday.

JAPANESE MAID IS REVENGEFUL
When Jilted She Systematically Prays for Death of the Traitor.
A Japanese woman when abandoned by her lover takes a peculiar and picturesque revenge.
When she no longer has any doubt as to his faithfulness, she gets up in the middle of the night and puts on a pleasing dress and wooden sandals. Attached to her headdress she carries three lighted candles, and suspended to her neck hangs a small mirror.
She takes in her left hand a small straw effigy of the faithless one, and in her right a hammer and nails.
Walking gravely to the sanctuary, she selects one of the sacred trees, and nails the effigy securely to the trunk. She then prays for the death of the traitor, vowing that if her wish is granted she will take out the nails which trouble her god, since they are fastened to a sacred tree. Night after night she comes to the tree, adding one or two nails, and repeating her prayers, persuaded that the god will not hesitate to sacrifice the man to save the tree.—London Mail.

WHY IT WASN'T LEGAL.
Students' Flippant Answer That Was the Actual Truth.
In the New York law school at a recent lecture on the making of wills the case of a woman in one of Rider Haggard's books was cited. The woman had a man's will inscribed in ink on her back. And the will was held regular and legal because it had been made in writing.
After giving this practical illustration the professor called on John Smith, saying:
"Is a will so inscribed regular and legal, in your opinion?"
"No," answered Smith.
"Why not?" asked the professor.
"Because it's a skin game," replied Smith. The professor felt angry enough to order Smith out of the room, but the class laughed so much that he decided to overlook the student's flippancy.—New York Press.

THE LADIES OF DENVER.
Wise women know that an old established dressmaking business is founded on merit. For years Mrs. McGruder has conducted parlors in this city. Her references are her work. She is now conducting the Ideal Dressmaking parlors at 1811 Glenarm street. She solicits the continued patronage of her old customers and a trial from new. A visit from the general public is welcomed. Firstclass work only, whether in the simpler sewing or in designing.
Dr. Westbrook has installed a nebulizer with which he will treat the nose, ear and throat.
The Art of Burnt-Wood Workers. Burnt-wood workers are making beautiful things, and are certainly endeavoring to be original. Instead of simply making pipe and book racks, as they used to do, they are working along new lines. A jardiniere made of wood resembles green pottery, and is handsomely decorated with Chinese dragons in a burnt-work design. A nut bowl, which is about the size of a tall cracker jar, is full of tiny perforations. An artistic burnt design of wild roses and their leaves is applied on this surface.
In Our Own Writing.
There is a book where each must write
His faith in characters of light.
And leave an immemorial page
To that shrewd critic men call Age.
It is the book of daily life.
The human calendar of strife.
The fighting annals of mankind.
Which God will publish, angels bind.
No book shall live so long; no leaf
Shall bear so far its woe or grief.
And every hand must set therein

Could Not Get Married.
A young woman in Paris who recently became engaged to be married applied for her official papers and discovered to her horror that a mistake as to her sex had been made and she had been put down on the register as a boy. She also discovered that the police, believing her to be a boy, had a warrant for her arrest for not presenting herself for military service. She will now have to prove her identity, and it will take about six months to rectify matters.
Long Sitting of Parliament.
The longest recorded sitting of the British house of commons was in 1881. On Monday, January 31, 1881, the house, having met at 3:45, continued sitting until Wednesday at 9:30—a continuous sitting of upward of forty-one and a half hours. The next longest sitting occurred in 1877. On Tuesday, July 31, 1877, the house, having met at 3:45, continued sitting until Wednesday afternoon at 6:15, a period of twenty-six and a half hours.
Clerical Chess Players
"A considerable portion of chess players are clergymen," a minister said the other day. "If you doubt this consult in the newspapers and the weeklies the columns regarding the game and to chess tournaments. It will amaze you the number of Revs, and D. D.'s that you will come upon there. The seriousness of the game is what makes it so particularly attractive to ministers."
Millionaires in the Militia.
The Twelfth New York regiment, now in camp up the Hudson near Peekskill, has among its lieutenants Cornellius Vanderbilt and Henry Rogers Winthrop, who are worth, respectively, $7,500,000 and $6,000,000. The two young millionaires sleep on cots in tents, drink their coffee out of their tin cups in the morning and eat off tin plates and declare they enjoy it to the limit.

FORD'S
HAIR POMADE

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 known to us 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; 20 of the oils are usually sufficient for 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 continually since 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 matter how long you keep it. Be sure to get Ford's, 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 50 ct. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford Prest. on each package. Refuse all others. Full directives with every bottle. Price only 50 cts. Sold by drugstores and dealers. If your drugstrict or dealer can not supply you, he can procure it from his wholesale dealer or send us 50 cts. for your bottle postpaid, or 11.40 for three bottles or 12.50 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

Electric Current Used to Induce Sleep —Sensation Felt.
Experiments on the brain of a living subject with electric currents have been comparatively rare, as there has prevailed among physicians and physiologists the idea that such a course of experimentation was extremely dangerous, says Harper's Weekly. There have recently been published, however, records of some experiments carried on by M. S. Leduc, with the object of using the electric current to produce sleep and of studying its effects on the brain generally.
In early experiments it was shown that the brain is the best conductor of electricity in the human body, being about 3,000 times more conducting than muscle. It was also observed that when a continuous current was passed through the head from one ear to the other the sensation of giddiness was produced and that objects appeared to revolve in the same direction as the current flowed. However, when the electrodes are placed on the forehead and neck and the current sent from back to front the effects are innocuous so long as a mild current is used and in some cases may be beneficial. According to M. Leduc, the most satisfactory current is one of four milliamperes at thirty volts, which is broken or interrupted 100 times a second for nine-tenths of the period of the interruption. The first effect noted was the disappearance of the faculty of speech, after which followed the loss of the motor faculties. Under ordinary conditions there is no affection of the respiration or pulse unless the current is increased, and then it may cease. The patient is said to awaken instantaneously from the electric sleep and to experience a feeling of refreshment.
WHERE CAT8 ARE VALUED.
Almost Indispensable to Farmers of Southern California.
In certain parts of Southern California it is absolutely necessary to have cats to successfully raise cattle. The cows feed on a red clover which makes a superior quality of beef. This clover grew very sparsely until it was discovered that one farmer, who had raised a large number of tabby cats, always had fine clover fields.
Investigation proved that the cats killed the field mice, who killed the wild bees who fertilized the clover seeds by carrying the pollen from flower to flower, thus causing the seeds to sprout thickly every year. Now all the farmers have many cats.
Twas such a saucy little brook
And had so beckoning a look
And had a wink so sly.
That off it follow'd where it led,
Caught by its roguish eye,
Caught by the dimpling laugh that sped
Ever ahead, ever ahead,
Amid the grasses growing;
And O the wind was blowing,
And O the wind was high!
It seemed to me I must chase
Forever at a charmed pace
Among the parting grasses;
Forever taunted by a sound
Of laughing-voiced lauses
Whom never any mortal found;
While all around and all around
Green grasses should be growing
And dreams be malty blowing
As a peril when it passes.
Fled is the wind I know not where?
There is a deadness in the air
And rain along the sky.
Where am I going that I run
Upon the muddy flats that lie
In squall toward a setting sun?
Can this same pathway have begun
Where there were grasses growing?
And O the wind was blowing,
And O the wind was high!
THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.
Viceroy Alexieff, the Russian soldier, visited America in 1878. A Washington official said of him the other day:
"Alexieff came here on the Cimbria with a number of Russians of high rank, and the quantity of wine these men could consume without being affected by it was the talk of the day. There were even editorials in the newspapers on this matter.
"I remember entering the Russians' suite in Washington one day with Alexieff, and coming upon a young colonel who sat at a table smoking with four empty champagne bottles before him.
Alexieff looked at the empty bottles and laughed.
"'Did you drink all that without assistance?' he asked.
"'No,' said the young officer, languidly, I had the assistance of a bottle of burgundy.'"
It Was a Close Call.
Mr. Shober told of a man who claimed to have shot a deer through the left hind foot and behind the left ear with the same bullet.
"Impossible!" said the man's friends.
"Ask Sambo, there," exclaimed the hunter, pointing to his servant.
"Yas, sir," answered the servant. He shore shot de deer in de lef' hin' foot and in de lef' year."
"But how?" asked the friends.
"Wel, suh, just as old massa shot, de deer stopped to scratch his lef' year with his lef' hin' foot. Dat's how."
The friends looked amazed, and after their departure the negro turned to his master and said: "'Deed, boss, nex' time yo' wants this niggha to tell deer stories, get yo pints closer together."—New York World.
Food of Japanese Soldier.
In the war with China the standard food of each Japanese soldier was two pounds of rice and five ounces of meat mixed with greens each day. While on the march, when the commissariat was not always perfect, the men ate boiled rice and pickled plums or passed a day on a gruel of rice mixed with Indian corn. When spoils were taken, however, they had meat three times a day. If Americans or Europeans had to make such a campaign it was calculated at the time that half their number would be lost from change of climate, food and habitation. Japanese being more or less similar to Chinese and Koreans in race, food and habits, the effect was not so disastrous, and the deaths from ordinary sickness were only at the rate of 2.9 per cent.
Wanted Her Share of Love.
George Francis Train sat one spring morning in Union square, as was his custom, surrounded by children to whom, contrary to his attitude toward adults, he was always affable and agreeable. On the outside of the group surrounding Mr. Train stood a small colored girl looking wistfully at the white children who were receiving all his attention and hearing his wonderful tales. After they had dispersed and Mr. Train was alone, the black child advanced timidly and said to him:
"Do you love children?"
Looking at his questioner in some surprise, he admitted that he did then in a low voice she said:
"I am a child."—New York Times

The Freemen Mining, Milling and Development Company of Colorado Springs, which has its offices in Room 1, McIntyre-Barnett block, and of which F. M. Roberts is secretary has the wonderful record of having disposed of the whole of the first block of shares which were put on the market at 5 cents. There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered, and though the price has been raised to 10 cents, 20,000 are already bargained for.

AN INTERESTING TRANSACTION.
The last week of the year witnessed a transaction in insurance circles in which our readers will be interested, as one of the companies concerned has, we believe, more people insured here than any other company operating in this city.
We refer to the consolidation of The American Life and Accident Co. and The Commonwealth Life. The American Life needs no introduction as scarcely a week passes in which we do not give space to two or three letters of thanks from pleased claimants. The Commonwealth operates to a greater extent in the East and South.
The American Life has been after the Commonwealth for some time, but the deal was only consummated last Saturday. After a lengthy discussion at the policy-holders' meeting it was voted to adopt the name Commonwealth Life, as in the territory in which the latter company operated there are fourteen companies bearing the name American, and as most of them are small concerns it was feared that some of the business transferred would be lost owing to the confusion of names.
This is the second concern that has been absorbed by the American Life.
THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.
Our readers will recall the account of their taking over the German-American Indemnity Co. in October of last year. This gives the consolidated concerns a surplus to policy-holders of over $23,000. While many of the old policy-holders will miss the name American, yet as they all know Mr. Ira G. Harris, the president of the Commonwealth, who was president of the American Life, they will not feel lost.
Mr. Harris has grown up in the insurance business in Denver. He acted first as agent, then assistant superintendent, city superintendent, state manager and finally president and general manager. Last year was the most prosperous the American has ever known, but under the name of Commonwealth Life this year is looked for as a still more prosperous one.

OH NEW YEAR!
Katherine D. Tillman, in Colorado Springs "Telegraph."
New Year, oh, beautiful New Year,
As Time with the Old Year doth flee
What portion of joy and of grief, I ask,
Doth the New Year bring unto me
New Year, oh, radiant New Year,
What is it you whisper to me
"Enter the New Year's untried path,
There patiently wait and see."
"Joys and griefs for ye all I bear,
But our God doth them all bestow.
And what His love hath marked for
thee,
As yet thou mayst not know."
Oh, New Year, young New Year,
Since God doth thy gifts all bestow,
With courage I'll venture upon thy
path,
Caring naught else to know.
I shall cross the line of thy boundary From every forboding free.

Information Given to the Seekers of Hidden Treasure.
The Egyptian Gazette of Cairo publishes the following. The subjoined translation of a part of the Kitab el Kanoor will be of considerable interest for and may perhaps encourage those of our readers who propose to uncover the sphinx. The Kitab el Kanoor is a book compiled certainly several hundred years back and very highly valued by Maghrabi treasure seekers. Not many copies of the work are known to exist.
"Go to the sphinx and measure from its face southeast twelve maliki cubits—that is to say, each a cubit and a half of the greatest cubit. Search there and you will find two mastabas of stone and stones scattered around them. Dig between the two mastabas about a man's height and you will find a plate (? flagstone). Clear it from sand well and raise it and pass to the door which is the door of the great pyramid. Cross the threshold of the door and beware of the wells on the right and left, which are closed wells (sic). Pass straight on and take no notice of the wells and you will find in the breast (front) of the wall a great stone (? turning). Open it and pass on and you will see many cells on the right and left and before your face a great cell with the (great) king of the former kings of Egypt and kings with him and his son around him, wearing their kingly robes adorned with gold and silver, and you will see their treasures and their emeralds and pearls and ornaments of gold and silver.
British Smuggler Planned Submarine Boat for the Purpose.
One of the earliest suggestions of the submarine was that of a British smuggler, Johnson, who invented a boat that was to travel under or above water. With this vessel he proposed to carry Napoleon from St. Helena, but the emperor died while the boat was under construction. The adherents of the emperor promised Johnson $200,000 on the day the boat was ready to start and an immense sum if it proved successful. Some years later Johnson built a boat with which he experimented in the Thames for the British admiralty. In this connection it may be mentioned that one of Napoleon's marshals, Massena, began life as a smuggler on a large scale and Commodore Thurot of the French navy of that time obtained his knowledge of the British coast while in the employ of a smuggler.
Seeing Where You Go.
A bookkeeper lost one of his eyes by walking against a clothesline in the dark in an attic.
Will it pay us to remember that and use his experience for the one chance in a million there is of its being useful to us?
How many people have had their eyes injured in that way? How many things can we afford to keep in our memory for the sake of accuracy?
A few minutes ago a pedestrian ran into the rope on a sled on which was a boy pulled by another boy. The puller passed him and he turned and walked in front of the sled because he did not see the rope because he

One of the largest Christmas trees that was ever had in the Falls was had in connection with the concert given at the A. M. E. Church on Christmas Eve. The tree was fairly loaded down, many presents being stacked at the foot of the tree. Every child, little or big, that had ever attended the Sunday School received a present. The concert was a grand success, especially the drama that was rendered by seven young people, entitled "The Men-Makers' Club," by Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman of Colorado Springs. Mrs. H. E. Redd, the wife of our pastor, deserves much credit in giving time and attention to the concert and raising money for the presents for the Sunday School.

Arthur Newsom has been appointed to a clerkship in the county treasurer's office. This is the third place to be filled by a person of our race in the county offices. Treasurer W. J. Fine has not merely talked; he has done. Such action on his part is grateful, indeed, to us. The door of hope is swinging further and further in this county and state, and he is doing his part. We are glad that his administration is reflecting credit on himself and the party he represents, and we are still more glad that he is allowing us a share in its work. We thank Mr. Fine in the name of the race for his handsome action.
Opportunity knocks at the door of the lodges of this city. For years there has been little short of insult awaiting persons who wished to hire halls for giving entertainments and other public purposes. Now it has come to pass that only one place can be secured and it has to be taken with a bar-room opening out upon it. To the clean all things are clean, yet it is a blow to our self respect to have to take our wives and daughters into such surroundings. It may do for foreigners but we have a different standard, and we owe it to ourselves to improve our surroundings where we can.
The lodges of this city have ample means if they would unite to build a hall for their own use as lodge halls, and for an entertainment hall. They are continually asking the public to support their efforts by patronizing their public entertainments. They do a wonderful charity work among us and deserve our best wishes and support. But at the same time they have a duty and where so much service can be rendered, it is indispensable that they act. The holdings in real estate and cash of the various lodges will aggregate $12,000. A hall will pay a good return on the money and deserves consideration simply as an investment. Then, too, it is the one way to exemplify the capabilities of our people and at the same time put a stop to an intolerable condition of affairs.

IN LAND OF "EVANGELINE."
Beautiful Bayou Teche Country Appeals to Every Visitor. The "Teche country." How often one hears the country of southern Louisiana spoken of and so few really have seen the beauties of it, and still it lies in a most convenient locality, with several important little cities and many magnificent plantations on its banks. Then again, Longfellow immortalized the ancient river in his "Evangeline." There is a certain something, say, dreaminess, which takes hold of one, and enchralled by the haze of the sunshine and mist you look upon the commonplace as sunshine.
At St. Martinsville the wide-spreading "Evangeline oak" is near the bridge, and one can almost see the cove into which the skiff was drawn as Gabriel passed up the stream, each wandering in search of the other, and the thick undergrowth of palms and vines obscuring the gaze from the passer-by. The town itself seems to have changed but little, a settlement, more or less. The creole French is spoken in shops and market. Narrow brick pavements, shaded by galleries, are built out to the curb, pavements always spoken of as "banquettes." The white chapel with its graveyard, with two brick oven graves, claimed to be those of the two romantic lovers, adds greatly to the impression that you have stepped out of the busy world for a time and cannot realize that somewhere electric cars are dashing through streets or imagine traffic stopped to allow some scurrying pedestrian to edge to a crossing.
Here the dust is undisturbed and the bayou flows peacefully on, on past some roomy, wide plantation house, on to the sugar house, with its towering chimneys, sheds and machinery. Then cabins, like rows of dusty sugar loaves, add to the characteristic panorama. The mammoth trees, with their drooping moss, hanging low to the water's edge, intermingled with shiny palms and luxuriant ferns, stamp the scene as tropical. If dropped from the clouds you would never hesitate to name the place as "way down south."
The thriving town of New Iberia is fast gaining prominence. Then Jeanerette, quite a lumber center, claims recognition. The timberland and lumbering facilities are fast developing interest and attracting speculative attention, all through the waters of the long neglected, sleepy, unused Teche.

Medicinal Value of Fish Oil. The Welsh consider the oil from the liver of the sting ray to be good for burns and other wounds, while the Norwegians use the oil from the liver of the king of herrings (chimacra monstrosa) for treating some disorders of the eyes. The latter is also said to be good for all wounds and bruises. The oil of the turbot is considered a good external remedy for swellings, while the ball is said to be excellent for affections of the eyes. The oil from the liver of many fishes is used medicinally, the more notable examples being the cod and the oolachan or candlefish, of the Pacific coast.
Gve, the cherry blossoms whiten all the way.
Locusta swing their censors, jonquils glow with light.
High the plumes of illac in the south wind sway.
Rosatec as the peach blossom comes the Day from Night.
See the tender oak leaves, weaving in the sun.
Lace work of their shadows on the sheep-cropped grass.
Can there be another when this day is done?
Hold, O, heart, and grasp it—do not let it pass!
Yet, O, love, you tell me: "All the days shall shine.
If we meet them loving; lilac, cherry, rose.
Have a constant message for your heart and mine.
Have a constant message for the heart that knows.
"To each heart that knows, love, in the kind earth lies
The force that tints the aster or turns the rose to fire.
A hidden flame and subtle which never dies.
A changeless flame that burns, love, for the world's desire."
—Maurice Francis Egan, in Smart Set.

Deep Mining.
The advance of engineering science is resulting in great advances in deeplevel mining. Some years ago 3,000 feet was deemed the lowest boring practicable, but this limit has now been greatly exceeded. At Flenu, in Belgium, 3,600 feet has been touched, while at Calumet, Hecla and Tamarack, in the United States, mines from 4,500 feet to 5,400 feet are being worked. Engineers look forward to reaching coal and other deposits at a depth of 7,500 feet. Temperature is the great difficulty to be overcome.
THREE ZONES IN ONE HOUR.
Two Regions in the World Where the People May Visit Them All.
Only two places exist on this globe where one can pass through three zones of temperature—the tropical, subtropical and temperate—within an hour's time. Hawaii is one of these places and Darjeeling, in northeastern India, is another. In both these places the trick is done by climbing up the high mountains. In Hawaii the traveler starts with the warm breath of the Pacific fanning him amid the smell of palm trees. He passes by great clusters of tropical fruit and as he mounts the trees change, until he is in the kind of scenery that may be found in the southern United States. Still he climbs, and soon he notices that it is much cooler and that the character of the scene has changed to one that reminds him of the temperate zone, with fields in which potatoes and other northern vegetables are growing.
In Darjeeling the change is still more wonderful. The entrance to the tableland on which the little mountain city stands is through a dark, somber tropical pass, full of mighty palms and hung with orchids and other jungle growth. After a while the trees change from palms to the wonderful tree ferns. These alternate with banana trees, until, after some more climbing, forests are reached of magnolias and similar trees. Through these magnolias the way leads ever up, and all at once, over an open pass, there came into view immense thickets of Himalayan rhododendrons and the evergreen of firs and cedars, and beyond stand the white, grim, snow-clad, frozen mountain peaks like arctic icebergs on land. In less than two hours a traveler can ascend from orchids through jungles to tea plantations and thence to a climate of northern roses and violets.
Wisdom of the Barber.
"It always makes me tired," said the old barber, "when a man tells me to quit wasting so much time rubbing in the lather and hurry along with his shave. If he only knew it, he is laying a sure foundation for a chapped and sore face. The reason for using soap in shaving is to remove the grease always close to the skin, and on the surface of the beard. This can not be done without rubbing it well in Many persons who shave themselves do not understand this, and wonder why they have sore faces. They blame the bay rum, and change off to witch hazel or something else. Rubbing the soap in well makes the beard soft and pliable. It also lessens the chances of the razor slipping. Always rub the lather well in with the fingers; never with the brush. What must one think of a man who has not time enough to let the barber shave him properly, but who spends ten minutes chatting with the girl at the cigar counter, or with the manicure girl, on his way out of the shop?"
