Mo. last it up time for the horse and reach out after the things which tend to lift the race up instead of degrading it. Let each intelligent man and woman think of the origin of the cake walk and "Buck dance" and then see if you would like to have your sons and daughters in his time for us as a race to give the other fellow an opportunity to be the monkey, that we through his performance might get a few dollars, and not expect to always be the monkey and the "Buck" to dance. "Give to the world the best you have and best you will come back to you," should be our motto. Rev. H. W. Porter. Des Moines, Iowa. WE ARE SOWING. Everyone will receive their own reward according to their own labor, according to the use made of their talents and opportunities; not according to the harvest that is reaped, but as to the seeds that are sown; not according to the gifts they may make; not according to worldly applause they may receive; not according to the great riches they may gain; not according to the high station they may fill, but according to the seed they have sown. The good book says, "What soever a man soweth that shall he also reap." This will apply to all, the rich as well as the poor, the great as well as the small, the servant with one talent as well as the servant with five—everyone have their field. Are all conscious of what they are sowing? Are you sowing so that you will be satisfied when the harvest comes? Let us examine at the close of each day what we have sown. Sow love of country, sow love of race, sow love for God, sow love for humanity, sow love for all that is good and elevating, sow love in your home, sow love in your neighborhood, sow love in your lodge, sow love in your church. When all shall use their talent aright, there will be no problems to solve. The cause of so much wrong and sin is because too many are sowing the wrong seed. Remember that the harvest depend on the seed that are sown. We cannot see why the newspapers of the state should not have as much interest in the state fair as any other state enterprise. It has done its part in making the state what it is. The former law partner of ex- Governor Shaw is being brought forward as a candidate in the coming gubernatorial race. Will the standpatters get together? There are almost 6,000 idle actors in Chicago this summer, while many of the states are suffering for want of harvest hands. Who are supporting these idlers? In many places Senator Tillman received cheers when he assailed the Nogro, but when he stepped on the old soldiers and the Republican party cries went up from every direction. The renegade will soon be as unpopular in the North as he is in the South. A Chicago professor says the world will eventually be governed by the Chinese. He surely has not taken into consideration the progress the Negro is making. ALBIA NEWS. Miss Maggie J. Nelson left Thursday for home in Chicago, after several weeks visit at the parental home.

New the Naval Officer Recovered His Lost Buttons. it happened on one of the United States cruisers now at Hampton road, away the Washington Herald. A lieutenant, having met two very charming ladies while ashore, invited them on board for lunch. They came and were shown over the ship. They lingered, having met which was daintily furnished, and they admired his photographs of home. When he was summoned on deck he left them there. Returning, he took them to lunchoon, and having to go on duty in the afternoon, he excused himself so as to get into uniform. Alas! he found that every button on his best coat had been cut off and then he remembered that one of his fair great nieces was in the souvenir question. He got her alone after lunchoon and accused her of the theft and after some prevarication she confessed that the buttons were in her corsage. With some firmness the lieutenant led the culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to the denuded coat on the bunk, produced needle and thread and, going out, locked the door on the outside. In half an hour, the door, found that his coat, was once more in excellent order and then, with great galantry, bowed the lady over the side. She has not been invited to lunchoon on the same ship since. A FASHION FROM WAR. New Flat Watches Took Place of the Old-Time "Turnips." When the neat man takes upp himself a watch as thin as parchment he little thinks that that thin watch results from army regulations. Up to the time of the Allies taking Paris the ordinary watch was convex in shape and called from its outline a "turpin." The officers of the Russian and other armies objected to this because its bulbons form made the uniform of a man on parade look untidy, and because the watch fob. Here in Paris, however, they found that the watchmasters of the Palais Royal had contrived a chronometer who got over the difficulty. Flat watches were the fashion in Paris. The English when they appeared in the streets of the French capital marched in not in gala dress such as the others wore, but in the raiment which they had worn on campaign. Great was the impression that the watchmakers crested they at once adopted the smart flat watch and brought it back to England for our own manufacturers to copy—London Standard. Paddy and Taxes. A voice from the jungle of Burma is heard in the following letter from a missionary correspondent to the Christian Herald: "The Lord has sent me $10 from a friend in New York, which will buy thatch for the three native houses and an addition to this one I live in and pay for its transport here besides. Another gift also came and with it I have paid this new man's wages for one week, bought a small supply of dried fish, paid for a fresh supply of stamps and left a little for daily needs. Our store of rice is helping a woman daily the prayer is offered at morning and evening worship; before the children and heathen visitors, that the Lord will send money for more rice, for paddy and for the taxes, which are now due."

In every family, in every town and every cage, from tigers to doves, the strong bully and oppress the weak and drive them to the wall. Of all quadrupedes, deer are the *greatest fools, wolves are the meest, apes the most cunning, bears the most consistent and open-minded, and elephants the most intellectual. Of birds, the parrots and cockatoos are the most intelligent, the orangutans are the most domineering, the darters are the most treacherous, the gallinaceous birds have the least common sense, and the swimming birds are by far the quickest to recognize protection and accept it."—N.

"That is a picture of a mirage, or tata morgana," the traveler. "I took it in the Sahara, not far from Tombukouto. There was really rotting there but sand—wastes on wastes of sand, but my dazzled eyes saw that mirage and my camera saw it, too. This is a only mirage picture I have seen. I saw it in Egypt and in Morocco to photograph various mirages, but always in vain. There are scarcely six mirage photos in existence." Words and Deeds "There never was a time in my life, fellow citizens," exclaimed the candidate, "when I hadn't the courage to call a spade a spade!"

Twenty-Six Different Monetary Units Are in Use. Twenty-eight different monetary units are used by the 48 principal countries of the world. Thus, Great Britain uses the sovereign or pound sterling; France and six other countries of Europe use a unit equal to the franc; and Canada and the United States use the dollar, the dollar being different units raised from 4.4 to 194.3 cents of the United States. They are represented in their turn by coins the values of which are either multiples or are fractional parts of the value of their own chief units, and there are no doubt at least 200 such different coins, not one of which seems to have a value equal to any common known unit of weight, for example, or the ounce of gold, although 43 of these 48 countries have accepted gold as their standard measure of values. In the coinage of the world there seems, indeed, to be little that is logical or reasonable. Adoption of a single monetary unit or base, if not of an universal system of coinage be used in all commemorative coins of the magazine, W. Perry in Moody's Magazine, would be a long step in that evolution through the centuries, because there has been no concerted, well planned and persistent effort to remove the evils of the existing disorder. SPLENDID RACE OF MEN. Natives of the Friendly Islands of Magnificent Physique. "The natives of the Tonga, or Friendly islands, off the east coast of New Zealand, are the finest in physique of any on earth," said E. A. Powell, of Cleveland. Mr. Powell is returning from a business trip to Australia, where he visited several groups of the islands. The five feet in height of the islands is five feet ten inches. Many of them are over six feet. They weigh from 160 to 300 pounds and are very straight, being built in proportion. The women average a greater height than the women of America. They have fine, strong figures and average from 130 to 160 pounds in weight. The five feet straight haired and with features which made the Greeks famous. I firmly believe they are the original Maoris, while the natives of New Zealand are a smaller race—aparently a mixture with the Mongolian race. The islands are crescent shaped and mostly coral. There is, either wealth or poverty on the island, and the race is in evidence and the tribe is exceeding virtuous. The main article of food is the cocoa, and the only drink used is the milk of this nut." Hot or Cold Water. It is a debatable question whether it is a wise practice to drink a cupful of hot water immediately upon rising every morning. The hot-water fiends fancy that they cannot live without their morning drink, but there are reliable physicians who claim that this practice is debilitating to the stomach and that it cannot fall to do injury. The habitual use of cold water is an excellent habit to form. It is natural to drink cold water. Cold water is a tonic to the stomach, as it is to the skin. It gives tonicity to the mucous layer of the stomach. The practice of taking five or six glasses of cold water a day is a good one. It will help to clear the complexion, brighten the eyes, and is said to be almost a certain remedy for puffiness under the eyes. A Great Swimmer A remarkable swim by an eight-year-old horse, says a Kildysart telegram, is occupying the attention of the local inhabitants. It appears that a farmer named Morgan Macmahon, who lives on a small island in the estuary of the Shannon, took the horse by boat to the mainland, and after working it all day turned it loose in the evening with a number of other horses. What was his astonishment to find the faithful animal peacefully grazing near its stable. It was wet as from a swim, and there is not the slightest doubt that the horse had swum all the way from the mainland to the island, a distance of a little less than three miles.—Pall Mall Gazette. Terms of Latin Origin. In a legal sense an "innoendo" was originally an averment made by the plaintiff in a libel action, putting into plain words the injurious sense he detected in an insinulation published by the defendant. It is the obitative case of a common English noun substantive. Another English ablative with a similar modern history is "follo", which literally means "on page" and so. The English language absorbs all cases in this fashion at its pleasure. There is quorum (gentive plural) and omnibus (nominative or nominorum) as an English noun that was once a Latin verb in the first person plural. A farmer has made a discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows the onions, being so strong, bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such conditions. The onions are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of the drought. It is time to commence putting out your onion sets now.—Reed City (Minn.) Clarion. ____ For an Impaired Appetite.

Bean in her usual pleasing manner. Several splendid musical numbers were rendered by a male quartet who were passing through the city arcuate to Galesburg to fill a Chauquiqua engagement. Their presence was greatly appreciated by the society. The funeral of aunt Lucy Williams was held at the A. M. E. church last Friday. The church desires to thank friends for a donation of $43.20 to pay funeral expense. Aunt Lucy was doubtless the oldest person in Scott county.
