In all ages of the world the measure of a nation's prosperity has been gauged by the lurries with which the people surrounded themselves. This is as true now as it was in the days of Roman conquest, and it is shown particularly in a recent official statement concerning the importation into this country of South African diamonds. Last year $35,000; 600 of these precious stones found their way into the United States. When Speaker Cannon uttered his emphatic and unique declaration concerning this country's success he only declared a fact, says the Philadelphia Press. The past ten years, judged by the importation of diamonds alone, has been the most prosperous and successful this country has ever known. In 1897 the imports of diamonds in round numbers exceeded $1,900,000, although the price per carat was not nearly as high as it has been since. This wonderful increase shows that there is a demand for them, and the demand is an indication that the people have the money wherewith to purchase them. Diamonds are an unfailing indication of prosperity. The first thing the average man does when he gets a little ahead in the world is to buy a diamond shristud or diamond earrings for his wife. The more money he makes the more diamonds he buys, and that men have been making money and that the country is unusually prosperous is indicated by these figures on diamonds. As to Sieen and Study. Many a youth in school is condemned as a sleepy head because his parents neglect to see to it that he gets the proper amount of sleep. Mothers know that the new-born infant should sleep about 22 hours each day and that this need of sleep is lessened so slowly that the child demands 12 hours when it is about 12 years old. It is decided by experts that the normal amount of sleep is not reduced to ten hours until between the ages of 18 and 21 years, and that many persons require nine hours' sleep during most of life thereafter. Despite these facts that should be well known, how many boys of 12 to 14 years form the habit of sitting up until ten o'clock at night and are as regularly routed out by their parents at six o'clock in the morning? This is a crime, the evil of which is in no degree lessened because it is a long-established custom. Experience and observation have proved that those who retire in time to sleep at least nine hours get far more of permanent good out of their course of study than those who double their hours of work by robbing themselves of sleep, says the Chicago Sun. The child especially should be in bed regularly in time that it will awaken naturally at an early enough hour to be ready for school. If allowed to sit up late to be literally dragged from bed in the morning, the parent should expect the child to be in the sleepy-bead class. Women as Inventors In reply to the charge that women are lacking in mechanical ingenuity, it is asserted that many of the most valuable inventions patented by men in reality represent ideas conceived in the brains of their wives, their sisters and their daughters. Eli Whitney's famous cotton gin is said to have been merely the application of a device first thought out by a woman —the widow of Gen. Nathaniel Greene the "Coston light," which is used by our life-saving service, and by mar- iners all over the world, for signalling at night—it burns like red fire—is a woman's invention, says the Techinal World Magazine. So, likewise, is the paper bag with a satchel bottom which was the idea of Miss M. E Knight. The machine by which "comb foundation," as it is called, for bee hives, is made, was patented by Frances A. Dunham, in 1881. It saves bees half the labor of honeycomb con- struction by turning out wax sheets which, suspended in the hives, serves as a basis to build the combs upon. But the most wonderful point about the contrivance is that, the cells out lined in relief on the wax being all of "worker" size, those of them that are utilized by the insects for nur- ery purposes will produce only work bees, thus avoiding the propagation of idle drones. Prof. Frank A. Perret, an American who was with Prof. Mattucci in the royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius during its recent eruption, promises to perfect methods of predetermining outbursts of volcanoes. American genius has accomplished a great many things that appeared more difficult than this undertaking. It would be no surprise to hear that Prof. Perret has found a means of robbing Vesuvius of some of the terrors it has held for neighboring humanity since the days of the elder Pliny. The Parisians profess themselves unable to see any beauty in the delegation of Kentucky girls now visiting their capital, and are ungallant enough to say so. But what can one expect of a people who prefer absinthe to whisky? The Caldwell (Okla).

IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. Trouble at Two Places Near Boone Results Seriously. Boonce--As the result of alleged raids on two melon patches, one in Dodge township and the other near Fraser, three men and four boys were seriously wounded. One man and one boy are in critical condition. One arrest has been made and more will probably follow. The injured: Newton Phipps, leg, hip and back badly cut; also badly bruised and beaten. William Phipps, cut about the head and neck; badly bruised from being beaten with a club. James Moreland, badly cut about hip and face and stabbed in back four times. Oliver Wright, Fred Phipps, Fred Morrow, and George Webb seriously wounded by bird shot, Fred Phipps condition being critical. Newton and William Phipps are prominent farmers in Dodge township. They discovered a gang of six or eight in their mellon patch ruining a large number of melons. They went out and protested against the destruction of the melons but told the men they could take several large ones sufficient to supply all they desired to eat. The men did so and went away. The members of the gang, who were from what is known as "The Pralies," had been drinking. A short time after they returned near the Phipps home and asked the man said that they wanted to ray for the melons. After a short parley, it is charged that they drew knives and assaulted the Phipps brothers. While the fractas was at its height, Moreland happened to drive by. He at once went to the rescue of the Phipps brothers and was also attacked. Moreland was accompanied by his wife, who, seeing the turn affairs were taking hurried to another neighbor's home and secured his home, returned they found the gang had had but that the Phipps brothers and Moreland were in a serious condition, being so weakened by the attack, and from the loss of their children, they were or talk. Medical assistance was secured from Boone, but Newton Phipps is still in a critical condition, the wound in his chest being such that everytime he takes a full breath, bleeding follows. The shooting near Fraser has resulted in William Coleman, the owner of the melon patch, being placed in jail awaiting a hearing on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder which William Phipps, the father of one of the boys, filed. Coleman gave himself up. PROMINENT MEN INDICTED. Charged With Securing Money Under False Preferences Iowa Falls.—It has just leaked out that the Hardin county grand jury at the March session in Eldora returned true bills against Byron B. Bliss of Iowa Falls and Chas. T. Hancock of Dubuque on the charges of embezzlement and securing money under false pretenses. The charges were made by the new officers of the Iowa-Lillooet Mining and Dredging company of which Bliss was formerly secretary and treasurer and Hancock was president. The warrants were served on Bliss and the few days ago but both furnished ball for their appearance. The amount of the ball is not known. The county officials made every effort to keep the matter secret. It is charged that Bliss and Hancock while officers of the company paid $5,500 on a dreege that had been purchased on a contract for $65,000. It is this $20,000 that the two are accused of using wringfully. Mr. Bliss is still ill at his home in this city. He was taken ill when the upheaval in the company came several months ago and a guardian for him was appointed. Mr. Bliss was one of the wealthiest men in this section.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY IS INDICTED ON 6,428 COUNTS TWO SPECIAL GRAND JURIES AT CHICAGO RETURN TEN TRUE BILLS FOR VIOLATION OF ELKINS LAW. Chicago. — The first skirmish in the crusade of the government against the Standard Oil company to compel the concern to comply with the letter of the antifur and monopoly laws was ended Monday afternoon when the two special federal grand juries returned ten indictments against the oil company, containing a total number of 6,428 counts. In respect to the scope of the indictments the number of counts and the voluminous nature of the documents all records of the federal courts was broken and when the juries were dismissed by Judge Bettea after three weeks of continuous work they had the satisfaction of knowing that they had hung up a mark for future investigators. The charges named in the indictments are violations of the Elkins antirebate law, which prohibits the accepting or granting of rebates on oil and other products. The fine as fixed by the Elkins law is not less than $1,000 and not more than $20,000 on each count. At this rate the maximum fine which might be imposed upon the Standard Oil company would aggre gate $128,550,000. The railroads named in the indictments, but which for the present are not charged with guilt by a federal grand jury, are: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. Chicago & Alton. Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Evansville & Terre Haute. Illinois Central. Southern Railway. Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. The ten indictments very only in the name of the railroad involved and in the particular shipment alleged to have caused the illegal rebate. Liable to Heavy Fines. Practically the ten form one big indictment, under which the minimum fine of $1,000 on each count would be $6,428,000. If Standard Oil is found guilty under each count and the fine is New Rate Law Is Discussed by Shipers and Carriers. Washington.—To discuss certain phases of the railroad rate law which took effect Monday, there was a conference which lasted the greater part of Tuesday between the members of the interstate commerce commission and representatives of the railroads and shippers of the country. The railroad representatives uniformly gave assurance of their intention to fully comply with the new law, but presented their views as to the operation of certain provisions, among the points urged being extension of time in which carriers may file their tariffs with the commission. The shippers' representatives urged the protection of their interests, particularly against the railroads shifting classifications so as to put up gates and contending for the discretion of the commission in the export and import changes and for the publication of tariffs in the full acceptance of that term. The commission reserved decision of the questions brought up.

Wells, one of the first civil engineers employed by the Burlington railway, and a friend of Abraham Lincoln, when both lived in Springfield, Ill., died at his home here aged 73 years. at the minimum of $20,000, the total of the fines would reach the astounding figure of $128,560,000. John S. Miller, who has been retained as special counsel by Standard Oil, will resent the plea for bond. Mr. Miller said: On the earlier indictment Judge Pethea fixed the bond of the Standard oil company at $25,000, which has not been given as yet. If the same ratio is pursued the total demanded would exceed $8,000,000. Laughs at Bond Plea. "The Standard Oil company does not propose to resort to obstructive tactics and will not unnecessarily delay the hearing of the cases. It is ridiculous, however, to ask the Standard Oil company to give bond for its appearance in court. The company cannot run away. I have never heard of a corporation being compelled to give bail in a criminal prosecution." The indictments returned far exceed any advance estimate of what the two grand juries have been doing in their secret sessions, yet it is declared to be apparent that the reports are but the beginnings of the government's battle against Standard Oil. The indictments referred simply to rebate giving and receiving, and were returned as under the Elkins interstate commerce law of 1887. The vastly more important phase of the proceedings which are now the uppermost endeavors of the Roosevelt administration as betokened by the policy which has been mapped out by the president and Attorney General Moody is to bring Standard Oil to an accounting as violating the Sherman ant-trust law, as a corporation acting in resaint of trade. Two Killed in a Collision Pittsburgh, Pa.—Two trainmen were killed and three injured in a head-on collision of heavy ore trains near Milton, on the Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad. Lines Have Been Unable to File Schedules for Switching. New York.—The new railroad rate law which applies to all railroads doing an interstate business went into effect at midnight Monday. It will be enforced by the interstate commerce commission. According to the new law the roads were to have filed with the commission by midnight all their tariffs and charges, showing not only the full cost of transportation from point to point, but also what items go to the making up of this cost. From now on there can be no "extras," but the shipper is expected to be able to obtain in advance a final statement of the charge he has to meet. It was stated that not a single company has been able to fully comply with the provisions of the law requiring them to have all their schedules on file by midnight. The schedule of switching charges was the most difficult of completion, and it is said that no road has been able to finish it in time to file as the law directed.

CHURCH FUNDS LOST PRESBYTERIAN CASH TIED UP IN TRUST FAILURE. Big Philadelphia Institution, With Liabilities of $10,000,000, Closed When Death of President Reveals Its Condition. Philadelphia—Unable to meet its obligations because of the large amount of money loaned on insufficient security by its president, now dead, the Real Estate Trust company of Philadelphia, which up to last Saturday, was considered one of the strongest financial institutions in the city, closed its doors Tuesday. Soon after the doors closed George H. Earle, Jr., a prominent financier, was appointed receiver. The liabilities of the company are placed at $10,000,000 against which there are quick assets of about $5,500,000 and collateral of about $5,000,000 which is not negotiable or readily convertible. This doubtful collateral is held mostly as security for loans of about $3,300,000 made to Adolf Segal, a promoter of this city. The man responsible for the failure was Frank K. Hipple, one of Philadelphia's best known citizens, who died suddenly last Friday morning in his country home at Bryn Mawr, near here, under circumstances which, in the light of developments lead to the suspicion that he may have committed suicide. Mr. Hipple, in addition to being president of the Real Estate Trust company was the treasurer of the board of trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States and of several other church funds, and was a director of the Franklin National bank. In addition to the deposits of the General Assembly, the Real Estate Trust also had about $25,000 of funds placed there by Dr. Roberts as stated clerk. The Presbyterian hospital of Philadelphia and the Presbyterian board of relief, also had sums of money in the failed institution. For the loans to Adolf Segal Hipple accepted as collateral security of the Majestic hotel, a big new apartment house, operated by Segal; the Swedish Steel company of Lancaster, Pa, and the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company of this city. The steel company and the sugar refining concern have never been placed in operation. Segal claims the collateral he gave is good and that he will meet all his obligations. There are others to whom Hippie loaned money on insufficient security but their names have not been made public and the sums are not believed to be large. How far Hipple benefitted in the loans made or whether he was merely the tool of others is yet to be determined. Philadelphia.—Receiver George H. Earle, Jr. Wednesday took charge of the affairs of the Real Estate Trust company which failed Tuesday because of the heavy loans made by Frank K. Hipple, late president, to Adolf Segal, a promoter, upon insufficient security. John H. Converse, a director of the company, and one of the foremost Presbyterian laymen in the country, upon whose petition the receiver was appointed, said he was satisfied that the securities of the various Presbyterian church boards are safe. The presbyterian hospital, of which Mr. Hipple was treasurer, elected the Judicial Trust company as his successor and through that concern learned that the institution's securities, amounting to $1,500,000 are intact. Hollidaysburg, Pa.-Adolf Segal, of Philadelphia, Wednesday sold the town of South Altoona to Borland & Waddell, of Pittsburg. Thi town had been developed by the Knickerbocker Contracting company, of which Segal is the head, at a reputed outlay of $1,800,000. The price paid by the purchasers was $500,000. Mr. Segal is the promoter who figure in the failure of the Real Estate Trust company. ARMOUR AFFIDAVIT QUALIFIED Annual Report to State of Missouri Is Thrown Out. Jefferson City, Mo.-Pursuant to the Missouri statute requiring each corporation doing business in the state to file an affidavit once a year with the secretary of state, that it is not a member of any trust or combine, attorneys for Armour & Co., and the Armour Packing company, of Chicago, asked permission of Secretary of State Swager to file affidavits for their companies that "they were not members of a trust or combine subject to the decision of the courts in the antitrust proceedings now pending against them."

BADY COVERED WITH SOREL Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Less Hands Were Tied—"Would Have Died But for Cuticura." "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have some out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so hard I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a call of the Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only in your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

Patterson, mycologist of the agricultural department, is a graduate of Harvard Annex, now known as Radcliffe college. Her brother is a professor in Harvard university. Mrs. Patterson worked in Harvard in connection with the Grey herbarium or seventh edition of the agricultural department at Washington. That was ten years ago, and since that time Mrs. Patterson has done an immense amount of good for the people of this country. Nothing in the line of plants can be imported into the United States unless it has first passed through the land and be cultivated absolutely free from all fungus growth or disease. If such a case of disease is discovered on a certain plant the latter may be sent to quarantine, when an effort will be made to cure the disease; or if it is too far gone the plant is immediately destroyed. The most important of Mrs. Patterson's connection with mushrooms. Under her direction are propagated by the agricultural department and try, and if anybody has a specimen of fungus while edible he can send it to he department and Mr. it microscopically and pronounce upon its safety. She also does a great deal of work in connection with fungus disease of insects. Amon discover something which will do more toward extent in Massachusetts than any other single agency has. Mrs. Patterson was born in Ohio. She handle fungus diseases of plants and animals every year, a agricultural department can be distributed until it by her. Mrs. Flora W. Patterson, mycologist of the agricultural department, is a graduate of Harvard Annex, now known as Radcliffe college. Her brother is a professor in Harvard university. Her sister worked in Harvard in connection with the Grey herbaria for several years before coming to the agricultural department at Washington. That was ten years ago, and since that time Mrs. Patterson has done an immense amount of good for the people of this country. A large number of them can be imported into the United States unless it has first passed her inspection, and been pronounced absolutely free from all fungus growth or disease. If such a case of disease is discovered on a certain plant the latter may be sent to quarantine, where an effort will be made to cure the disease. Or if it is too far gone the plant is immediately destroyed. Not the least important of Mrs. Patterson's work is what she does in connection with mushrooms. Under her direction good, sound mushrooms are propagated by the agricultural department and distributed over the country, and if anybody has a specimen of fungus which he is doubtful about beating, it will be sent to her handler much as it microscopically and pronounce its safety as an article of food. She also does a great deal of work in connection with the diseases of plants and with fungus disease of insects. Among the latter she may yet discover something which will do more toward exterminating the gypsy moth in Massachusetts than any other single agency has yet performed. Mrs. Patterson was in charge of the many cases of cancer of plants and beaten every year, and no plant grown by the agricultural department can be distributed until it has been pronounced O. K. her. The interstate commerce commission is becoming a rival of the interstate man canal commission in the matter of paying high salaries. Prof. Henry C. Adams, of the Michigan State university, who has just definitely accepted the position of commissioner, will be paid $10,000 a year. He will devise a system of bookkeeping for the railroads. He will be permitted to retain his place with the university. Prof. Adams will be the highest-salaried employee the commission has ever had, but it is the determination of the body, now that it will have an effective law, to make no mistake on the score of undue economy. The commission has in mind several other jobs that will pay about as well, and the right man could likely get two or three times $10,000 as general counsel for the commission if he could only be found. The commissioners do not want he do intend to have as good brains here as only be found. The co to seem extravagant, but they do intend to have as even the railroads get if it is possible. The commission has employed a special field a the grist to make investigation under the La Folle resolution.

BRYAN ARRIVES IN SAFETY BRYAN ARRIVES IN SAFETY POPULACE CHEERS NOTED DEM- OCRAT ON RETURN. Delegations from Nebraska Enthusiastically Hail Their Well-Known Neighbor as Next President of the United States. New York—Under gray skies but in exuberant spirits and bronzed by the suns of many climes during a year of travel completely around the world, William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, wice the nominee of the Democratic nomination, the States and already indorsed as the candidate of 1906, steamed up New York bay Wednesday afternoon on the steamer Princess Irene and received an ovation from large welcoming parties which went down to quarrel to meet and cheer the incoming vessel and its distinguished passenger. Mr. Bryan did not enjoy his usual health during the voyage, but he was much better. Wednesday and said that he felt sure he would be able to carry out the plans which have been made for him few days. He was very much fatigued when he boarded the steamer and during the entire voyage suffered from indigestion and severe headache his illness was not serious enough to interfere with his work, however, and he devoted a large portion of his days at sea in preparing his speeches and in keeping his correspondence. Mr. Bryan did not land in New York city proper until Thursday afternoon when he was received at the Battery by delegations of prominent Democrats from all parts of the country and escorted to the hotel where he will make his headquarters while here. He was taken off the Princess frene by special permission of President Roosevelt shortly after the vessel had anchored in quarantine. First he alled off two tugs which had been chartered by "bryan's Nebraska Home Folks," where he was exultantly greeted and hailed as the next president. He then went aboard the trim little yacht "Illin," owned by his long time friend and schoolmate, Edward F. Goltra, of St. Louis, and where such well known Democrats as Norman E. Mack, national committeeman for New York, and Daniel J. Campau, national committeeman for Michigan, were awaiting him. In the "Illin" Mr. Bryan was taken to the landing of the Ocean Yacht club at the dock and was landed and was whale, away in an automobile to the home of Lewis Nixon, "Ben Braw," on the heights of Tompkinsville and overlooking the harbor. VICTIMS NUMBER 32. Daughter of Premier Stolypin Not Killed by Bomb. St. Petersburg—The daughter of Premier Stolypin, who was injured by the bomb explosion in the premier's summer home Saturday and who was erroneously reported to have died, was still alive Sunday, having passed a quiet night under the effects of an opiate. The premier's son, who also was hurt, is better. Two more persons injured by the explosion died Saturday night, bringing the total number of deaths up to 32. Twenty-six persons were killed instantly. Saturday's unsuccessful attempt on the life of Premier Stolypin with his sickening, useless slaughter of 32 persons, was followed Sunday night by another revolutionary outrage in which Gen. Min, commander of the army, was killed since his promotion to be a general has been attached as a personal adjutant to the suite of the emperor, was killed on the station platform at Peterhof by a young woman, who fired five shots into his body from an automatic revolver and then, without resistance, substituted to arrest. The capture of the man effected by Gen. Min wife, who held her until the arrival of an officer. DECIDES BOYCOTT IS ILLEGAL Racine Judge Holds Unions Liable for Damages to Employer. Racine, Wls.-Union labor was dealt a heavy blow by the decision of Judge Chester A. Fowler in the boycott suit for $2,500 damages brought by Baker Otto B. Schultz. By the decision the contract exacted by the boss bakers by the union men, which the workmen sought to enforce the closed shop, is held illegal, the trades council and the individual members are enjoined from using the "unfair list"; the boycott is declared an actionable conspiracy to accomplish a criminal or unlawful purpose; Baker Schultz is allowed to recover damages of $2,500 for the loss of profits from the time of the commencement of the trial, to the time of the trial, and $2,500 in damages for the amount of injury to his business and property in relation to its selling value.

In the opinion of one who has travelled much and observed closely, the most truly and rightfully contented people in the United States to day are the small landowners in what is known as the Upper White River Country, anywhere from Newport, Ark., to Cartage, Mo. They are contented because their surroundings are ideal and until recently, the great, uneasy, disliking world, with its artificial needs and the need to be seen to them but little more tangible than a dream. Here, still existent, and by reason of their very rarity at this day and time more detectable than in the past, are the conditions which have ever appealed with irresistible force to the independent-spirited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the ruler of his very little principality; acknowledging no master save the law—and possibly his female helpmeet; cringing to no emperor; crying to no world, save those that his neighbor freely extend and expect as freely in return. He lives in a latitude where the extremes of heat or cold are never known, and at an altitude that insures perfect health. The richest bounty of Nature has been showered upon him with unsparing hand, but it is a question whether he more than realizes the fact. He accepts as a matter of course the fertile soil which produces in abundance every cultivable wood and in the forests of valuable woods and the forests of precious minerals, the springs and streams of the translucent purity on every hand, the wealth of fish and game at his very door, such as favored mortals annually treasured hundreds of miles to find. He is interested, but small credit is his for that, for how could he well be otherwise that contented, but it is written that such idealistic conditions may not continue, but it is written that the possessors of this favored land must soon give place to others more comfortable with the lands and forests. A railroad has recently cut its way through the best of this region, and the unacustomed rustle of banks notes and knink of coin will eventually tempt the hill-dweller to part with his birthright. So it has always been in the world's history—the good things that are ours without price invariably pass from our hands before we come to understand their value. The White River country will shortly be discovered anew by a class of immigrants better capable of judging its possible homes where the "lay of the land" will effectively prevent crowding by too close neighbors, where their cattle can fatten on free range, where the wealth of forest and mine awaits development by intelligent workers, and where the game and fish offer enjoyable recreation to all who have leisure and inclination for sport. B schools Spreading In China. A few years ago the foreign missionary schools were practically the only institutions in Foochow offering facilities for the acquisition of western learning. There are now at least 10,000 foreign students in the foreign model. Foochow is a city of 600,000 inhabitants, and these schools embrace about 2,000 students. Posters placarded all over the city advertise the opening of various modern schools, which are springing up in every nook and corner of the place. They are presenting the announcement of the opening of a new school. Immense Leaves of Palm. The palm family bears longer leaves than any other known tree. The Inagala palm, growing on the banks of the Amazon, has leaves which reach from $5 to 50 feet in length, and 10 to 12 feet in breadth. Specimens of the talepat tree, a native of Ceylon, has been met with 20 feet long and 18 feet broad. These leaves are used by the natives to make tents, and thus employed, they make very efficient shelters from rain. The leaves of the double coconut palm are often 30 feet long and several wide. The leaves of the cannibal tree of Australia resemble broad planks and are frequently 15 feet long, 20 inches broad and 1½ feet thick at the base. These boardlike leaves all shoot out at the top and hang down so that they are surrounded the stem. The umbrella tree of Ceylon has leaves of such enormous size that a single one will cover from 15 to 20 men, and often serves as a canopy to a boat, or a tent for soldiers. A specimen leaf taken to England measured 36 feet round. DUBIOUS About What Her Husband Would Say A Mich. woman tried Postum Food Coffee because ordinary coffee disagged with her and her husband. She writes: "Hy husband was sick for three years with cataract of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed at the time. "I had stomach trouble, was work hard and so I could not attend to my housework—both of us using coffee all the time, and realizing it was harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather dubious about what my husband would say—he was fond of coffee. "But I took coffee right off the table, and we haven't used a cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. In two weeks after I began Postum. My children love it and it does them good, which can't be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was always half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless少烫, but she watched me make it taste better. When done she said it was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavor and food quality." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book "The Road to Welly'le," in pkgs. "There's a reason." ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE. To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently—I would not say positively that it was in your columns—an article on the White House which contained several misstatements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809 and that its first occupant was President Adams, but the fact is, his first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1800. The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1814 it was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the article referred to was the statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used considerable paint myself and wondered that "canned" paint should be used on such an important painting all painters know that pure white lead and lined oil make the best paint. It so happened also that I knew white lead and lined oil—not ready-mixed paint—were used on the White house, because I had just read a booklet published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers who also manufacture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White house nothing but "the paint could be used," and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people, those who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material. GIANT RADISHES OF THE EAST There the Vegetable Grows to an Enormous Size. Radishes in North China and in Japan are as important and ubiquitous a part of every meal as is bread in America. In both countries many millions of bushels of this vegetable are grown every year, and it is hard to imagine it. It is thus easy to understand why these parts of the world grow the strangest and biggest radishes known. The giants beside the Little French Breakfast, our favorite American variety, are but babies beside the monsters they grow under the warm, moist influences of the oriental climate. These radishes are grown on American soil from seeds imported by the United States department of agriculture from China. They also well to the world climate, and probably will be weighed five pounds when grown. When these fellows are grown in China they rapidly form a great brilliant red globe eight to ten inches in diameter and weighing sometimes 20 pounds. Another kind is snow white and grows a foot long, and still another is a brilliant green on the outside and a beautiful wine red when the skin is cut. Some of these strange vegetables are exceedingly delicate in flavor and texture when grown under favorable conditions. Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called cream of tartar powders. It contains the quantity of contained in a sufficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm. On the contrary, alum is wholesome in proper quantities. This is undoubtedly the reason the State of Missouri quickly repeated the recommendation of the most wholesome of all baking powders. So much for Alum Baking Powders. England Mourne Dairy Butter The London Times asserts that genuine dairy butter is a thing past praying for. Four-fifths of the population of London, the Times asserts, have never seen it in their lives. Those who know what it is have great difficulty in procuring it, and cannot obtain it in many cases at any price. What is called genuine butter in London, the Times says, is blended and reworked butter. **Buperb Service, Splendid Scenery** en route to Niagara Falls, Muskoka and Kawartha Falls, Georgian Bay and Temegamali Region, St. Lawrence River and Rapids, Thousand Islands, Algonquin National Park, White Mountains and Atlantic Sea Coast resorts, via Grand Trunk Railway System.

Abraham Lincoln DeMond, pastor First Congregational church, Buxton, Iowa.) There are at the present time 185 Negro Congregational churches in the United States, located in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, California and Iowa, nineteen states and the District of Columbia. Nine of the Negro Congregational churches have each a membership of more than 200. They are as follows: First Atlanta, Fa: People's, Washington, D.C.: Lincoln Memorial Temple, Washington, D.C.: Dixwell Avenue, New Haven, Conn.: Haywood, N.C.: Savannah, Ga.: Plymouth, Charleston, S.C.: Mt. Zion, Cleveland, Ohio: Plymouth, Washington, D.C. The Negro Congregational churches of America have a total membership of 10,000 with 7,000 children in the Sunday Schools and 4,000 young people in Chri-tian Endeavor Society. These churches raise $40,000 a year for home expenses aside from benevolent contributions made by them. The church buildings occupied by these congregations are valued at $300,000 and the parsonages at $25,000, while they have $25,000 in invested funds. Beautiful new churches with modern improvements have just been completed at Birmingham, Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee. The history of our church organizations have been more accurately kept than that of our early mini-try. Rev. Samuel Harrison, who was ordained in 1550 and for twenty-nine years pastored the Second church of Pittsfield, Mass, stands as one of our early pilgrims in the ministry. Rev. I. H. Hall, pastor of Morris Brown church, New Orleans, La, having served that church for thirty-one years has held the longest continuous pastorate of any of our living ministers. Some of the other long pastorates are Rev. J. E. Smith, Chattanooga; twenty-seven years; Rev. Y. B. Sims, Little Rock, twenty-five years. The Negro Congregational ministry has furnished one chaple in the United States Army. Rev. J. J. Scott of the Third Alabama Regiment Volunteers a United States Consul at St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, Rev Mahlon Van Horne; two chapleins at the Tuskegee Industrial Institute, Revs. J. W. Whitaker and E J. Panny; three chapleins of the State Normal School at Normal, Ala., Revs. G. M. McCella, B. A. Imes and J. J. Scott; two teachers in the State Normal School at Montgomery, Ala., Revs. J. S. Jackson and Abraham Lincoln DeMond; two secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Association, Revs. J. E. Moorland and T. J. Bell; two professors in the Theological Department of Howard University, Revs. G. W. Moore and S. N Brown; the dean of the Theological Department in Straight University, Rev. G. W. Henderson, D. D. It was once said of the Emeral Isle that it had given to the world more than its share of genius and greatness, so I believe that this little body of worshippers known as Colored Congregationalist have given to our race their full share of great and accomplishment in every line of work, for we must take into account the pev as well as the pulpit and the women as well as the men.
