After the transaction of business, the program for the evening, which consisted of quotations from William Cullen Bryant; Debate: "Should the American Negro colonize and segregate himself from the white American;" and resitiatian, Miss Tahla Mash, was rendered. Owing to the absence of Mr. Dellinger, one of the affirmative speakers, and Mr. Mason Hall, one of the negative speakers, it was decided to have a general discussion of the subject for debate, Atty S. Joe Brown speaking on the affirmative side and Mr. George Mason speaking on the negative side; each speaker presenting a strong argument. Original ideas were introduced by various members, which were interesting and instructive. Resolutions of condolence were unanimously adopted out of respect for the death of Mr. Cary, father of Miss Letta Cary, an esteemed member of the Lyceum. Mr. Harrison Gauld was present and made a few interesting remarks. The club then adjourned to meet on next Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. Geo. Mason.

Longwell of the Highland Park College, on the recent color line drawn in that institution, and the only reason that was given for the action was that he President Longwell wanted to relieve the Negro student of the embarrassment which he had noted from time to time, and that a few southern whites objected to being in an institution with Negroes. Rev. Porter made a plea for the worthy young men and young women who were struggling against the closed doors and endeavoring to show to President Longwell if he and other representative men did not aid the Negro in his endeavor to rise, to what source must he turn. President Longwell admitted that he had never once thought of the very great injury his actions would do the Negro, and he said that the matter would be reconsidered. Rev. Porter though modest in his actions is doing much to aid the young men and women of their race in procuring their right. Post Cards, Cabinets, Penny Pictures When at Enterprise, stop at W. F.

This salve is also unequaled for chapped hands, sore nipples and diseases of the skin. Price 25 cents. For sale by all druggists. A. Strong Appeal: Almost modern is the Persian story of the man whose disagreeable voice in reciting his prayers in the mosque was annoying to everyone. One day some one asked him how much he was paid for reciting. "Paid!" he replied, "I am not paid. I recite for the sake of Allian!" "Then," replied the other, "for Allah's sake don't!" Highland Park College Closed Against Negro. It was rumored to us last week and confirmed this week that Highland Park Normal College of this city has refused to admit Colored students this fall to the college. Prof. H. O Longwell stated that as they draw a large number of their students from the south, these students objected to go with Colored students and they lost those southern students. The young Colored man who applied was Archie Alexander, the son of Price Alexander of Highland Park, who is one of our choice young men a graduate of the Des Moines High school and had entered Highland Park College last year in the engineers department and would have been a sophmore this year. We are indeed surprised at the College action. It is perfectly outrageous to have allowed the young man to have spent one year there, and then cut him off without a reason. We have nothing but condemnation for such a so-called College and even less respect for such a so-called president that would for a moment think of such a thing in Iowa, this school ought to be boycotted by the educated of the entire north. It is a blot upon our state a sham to civilization and outrage upon education, the very idea of closing the door of hope the door of liberal education, the door of equal opportunity to a boy, because of color is rediculous, and the utopian spirit of modern times should laugh this spirit into shame.

The good people of Springfield, Ill., are going to make some of those drunken rioters suffer for their acts of a few weeks ago. Already the woman who led the mob in destroying Mr. Loper's cafe and in killing innocent colored men has killed herself. This last week the special grand jury that was summoned has indicted 117 of those guilty parties, and among them are 4 police officers who disobeyed orders and failed to do their sworn duty. Below we print a part of the jury's report. It is good and we indorse every word: Sheriff Warner, Chief of Police Wilbur Morris, Captain Charles Walsh of Troop D, Springfield, and other officers are commended by the grand jury. The report condemns alleged "cowards" among the officers and says: After the most diligent inquiry we condemn in unmeasured terms the cowardly, contemptuous action of those members of the police force who, having taken the oath of office, failed to do their duty. "Men who were paid from the money obtained from the pockets of the people of this city to protect life and property; men who were ordered by the heads of departments of police to go out and disperse the mob, not only failed to use a club, handle a pistol or raise a voice against the mob and on the side of law and order, but some are shown to have assisted in doing the work that has wrought destruction to thousands of dollars worth of property and has brought the blush of shame to every law abiding citizen of this city. Men, who, under oath, were bound, and who, had they acted promptly, could have driven back to the obscurity from whence it came, the mob that for a time assumed to hold Spring-field in its bloody grasp. "We recommend that the civil service commission of the city of Springfield, without fear or favor and while evidence can easily be obtained, determine, by fair trial, who failed to prove himself a worthy member of the force and deal with him accordingly. "We further recommend that the civil service commission inquire diligently into the so-called 'third degree' or 'sweating' process said to be carried on in various cases at the city prison and if it is found that after an arrest a prisoner is struck by hand or club, or otherwise mistreated the same be stopped."

Devices of Defense: What could be more perfect defense than the device of the moorhen? She sinks herself in the water beneath an overhanging root or bank, leaving only her bill in sight. And that looks like a fallen leaf. You may stand wighin six feet of her and she will not move, so sure is she that her ruse will succeed.—London evening Standay. IMPROVED FORM OF INCUBATOR. Operated by Electricity, Better Results Are Secured. An electric incubator has been introduced in Europe, the operation of which is said to be attended by surer results than other methods, for the reason that it is capable of finer adjustment as far as heating and ventilation are concerned. One of the most difficult features of artificial poultry breeding is a proper supply of fresh air. In the electrical incubator air is supplied from underneath, the entering fresh air coming in contact with the eggs after being properly preheated by special radiators. This ventilation is controlled by opening to a variable extent the lateral slides fixed at the top of the apparatus. It should be remembered that ventilation plays the role of maintaining the life of the germ. While an ample supply of fresh air, therefore, is extremely valuable for the development of the germ, any excess of ventilation will prove detrimental; in fact, the surplus air will exert a drying action on the contents of the eggs. In this incubator the matter of ventilation and heating is looked after automatically. HAVE SURPLUS OF FURNITURE. Writer Criticizes Modern Methods of House Adornment. Most people have far too much furniture in their houses, and certainly the majority indulge in too much textile fabric. Too many curtains, too many antimacassars, too many mats and cushions, says a writer in Good Health. All these things collect and hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh air and sunshine. Carpets, especially in the rooms we sleep in, I would abolish. The bedroom carpet is a snare, and the sooner it makes its final exit the better for the family health. That great artist and critic, William Morris, once said: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. This is counsel many women might take to heart, thereby making their homes more beautiful, and undoubtedly far easier to keep clean and orderly." A Friend. What is the best thing in life? I queried recently. I have raised the same question aforetime, and found the majority of responses leaned to "human affection." Surely there is nothing that comes to us by the grace of God so helpful as this "friend," who may be a husband, a wife, a sister or a brother, who knows the best of us and the worst of us, and who can love us still, ready to stand by us till the morning when our craft has grounded in the shallows or is helplessly stationary in maelstrom vortex, when we need all the strength our God can give simply to live, my friend, simply to live! How rare friends are one soon realizes, and how priceless no words can duly say.—Home Chat. Clinched His Statement They were cross-examining, in a Chicago court recently, a bookmaker who had been caught in the toils for playing some other game than his own. The third sub-assistant district attorney was intent upon a conviction, however, and was doing his best, none too successfully, to shake the testmony of the defendant. "You're sure of that?" he yelled, as the bookmaker stuck to an assertion that, did not suit the case of the state. "Sure, I am certain," came the answer. "You remember that you are under oath?" "I do that." "And you'd swear to this statement of yours?" "Swear to it? Why, Mr. Lawyer, and judge, your honor, I'd bet a hundred on it any day." How Coal Grows It takes a prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal, it being estimated that the present growth of the world would make a layer less than one-eighth of an inch in thickness, and that it would take a million years of vegetable growth to form a coal-bed ten feet in thickness. The United States has an area of more than 440,000 square miles of coal-fields, and more than 100,000,000 tons of coal were mined in this country last year—enough to run a ring around the earth at the center $5\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide and $5\frac{1}{2}$ feet thick. Competent scientists say that there is enough coal in the United States to supply the world for the next 2,000 years. In the Same Boat: An old couple in Glasgow were in a very depressed state owing to dull trade. Thinking their son in America would help them, they wrote stating their trouble, and that if he did not help them they would have to go to the poorhouse. Three weeks passed, and then came a letter from their son, saying: "Dear Mither and Falther—Just wait another fortnight an' I'll come hame an' gang wi' ye. Your affectionate son." Boiled Down. "Tired of hearing my 'sugary words,' are you, Pulsatilla Torkell! howled the indignant Orlando. "Perhaps you will be kind enough to tell me, Miss Corkins, what a sugary word is! What is it made of?" "It is made, Mr. Spoonamore," answered the fair Pulsatilla, "of verbum sap." Without word of any description Orlando Spoonamore grabbed his hat and groped his way out into the darksome night. The blow had crushed him. MURDER CHARGED HEARING WILL BE GIVEN IN A FEW DAYS. CHARLES E. DAVIS IS ACCUSED Dr. Lord Met a Man near the Rustin Home Soon after the Shooting. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 11.—Late yesterday afternoon County Attorney English filed a complaint against Charles E. Davis, charging him with murder in the first degree in connection with the shooting of Dr. Frederick Rustin. The time of the hearing was not set, but probably will be before the end of the week. An important development was brought to the attention of the county attorney on the yesterday afternoon of the shooting. P. Lorraine physician called by Mrs. Rustin to attend her husband immediately following the shooting, told the police that on his way to the Rustin home the morning of the shooting he met a man answering the description of Davis two blocks from where Dr. Rustin was shot and coming from the direction of the dying physician's home. This ficture was not brought out at the inquest, although Dr. Lord was one of the witnesses. Chief Justice It was the most significant bit of evidence thus far secured. Dr. Lord gave a very minute description of the man, which follows very closely in detail that of Charles E. Davis. LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS. Primary Law Perfected and a Senator Will be Elected Nov. 24. Des Moines, Sept. 11—In pursuance of an agreement signed by nearly all of the republicans of the general assembly, the legislature adjourned until Nov. 24 to reconvene for a single day without expense to the state for the purpose of electing the republican who is nominated for United States senator at a special primary on Nov. 3. This action was taken following a second ballot on senator in the joint session of the house at noon yesterday and in which Governor Cummins was again defeated. By an almost unanimous vote in the house and by a party vote in the senate the programme was carried out, and at 5 o'clock last night the extra session came to a close. The net result of the extra session was the message of an act, which gives the republican voters of the state an opportunity to vote for their choice for United States senator to succeed Senator Allison and an agreement among republicans to abide by the result of the primary in the state at large. Japan Poor. Says Katsura. Tokio, Sept. 11.—Marquis Katsura, the new premier and minister of finance, outlined a policy of rigid economy for Japan in an address before the Bankers' club. He declared that the patriotism of the people of Japan was as necessary now, when economy was necessary to restore credit and confidence as during the Russian-Japanese war, when he was foreign minister. Upon returning to office the marquis declared that he had found the economic and financial condition of the government as yet unrestored, and it was therefore absolutely necessary that the government and people unite in a common effort in the national interest. Omaha Banquets Harriman Omaha, Neh., Sept. 11—President E H Harriman of the Union Pacific and other western railroad properties, was banqueted by the Omaha Commercial club at the field club. Informal speeches were made at the banquet. Harriman's special train came through Nebraska, but no effort was made to make a record run. Leisure marks the course of the magnate across his greatest railroad, and he is inspecting the road bed, depot properties and terminals as he comes east. Eltzgerald Is Discharged. Chicago, Sept. 11—George W. Fitzgerald, accused by the state authorities of the theft of $173,000 from the United States sub-treasurer here, was freed by Judge Chelain yesterday. United States Sub-treasurer Boldenweek, acting on instruction tool to dislodge the defendant from the official authorities, took the stand and refused to testify. Judge Chelain thereupon dismissed the case. Locomotive Dividend. New York, Sept. 11.—The directors of the American Locomotive company passed the quarterly dividend on the common stock. The last quarterly dividend was $10\frac{1}{4}$ per cent. The regal quarterly dividend of $1\frac{1}{4}$ per cent on preferred stock was declared as usual. Davis Once Insane *Boston, Mass.*, Sept. 11—Charles Edward Davis, who was arrested in connection with the Rustin murder case in Omaha, was a resident of this city from 1900 to 1902, and for several months in 1902 was an inmate of the McLean hospital for the insane at Waverly.

He was the echo—as it were—of himself, and a consummate echo at that, for time and time again he had watched to see whether he would not make some mistake or fall in his series of duplication, but whenever it was possible for an act to be duplicated he never had been known to fall in its duplication; and, indeed, he had grown so shrewd in the matter that he never did on one day what could not reasonably be duplicated upon the next—if that succeeding day was not the same of the preceding one, and not the beginning of a new series of action. Living his own life in his own reserved way, cultured and studious, troubling no one, offending none; doubly liberal in his expenditures and never pressed for means, steadfast in his chosen eccentricity—if such it were—and in his face and manner no questioning doubt of himself, perhaps in time Henry Hobart had been accepted like any other man, the curious had ceased to be curious, and his mysterious character, without any further or deeper scrutiny, had become one of the mysteries of human life, had not the man been suddenly struck down as by an invisible hand and the appalling mystery of his death heightened tenfold the mystery of his life. During at 15 minutes of ten o'clock, an attendant was summoned by the call-bell to room 63 of the Sumner house, and upon obeying the call found Henry Hobart struggling in the throes of a strange and unnatural death. The Man Who Did Things Twice, half dressed, standing in the center of his outer room, was battling with the invisible air about him for breath, or, as the attendant put it later, "Like he was fightin' with something that was killing him." The hotel was aroused, Dr. Thiel was hastily summoned from his office on the next floor, and everything was done that science could suggest or despair persuade, yet in less than ten minutes Henry Hobart lay dead on the floor, within his stillled brain hidden the profound mystery of his life, and he was still trying to one strangled cry are death sealed his blue lits—"To-morow!" It was a strange case, a questionable case, a frightful case, but beyond all it proved a baffling case, for the police came, removed the body to the morgue, intimating death by poison or other play, and examined the rooms and overhaul the possessions of the dead who shot the deceased who his kindred or what his former residence, or the cause of his death, they could not discover. The scholarly toms that filled his shelves bore no signatures or bookmarks, and private papers of any kind were none. The autopsy made the same day—after-noon—upon the body of the deceased failed to discover any poison, and Dr Thiel's belief that the man had been killed was not supported by no foreign substance or growth of any kind was found in the windpipe or air passages. One thing only seemed certain, one thing only was undisputed—The Man Who Did Things Twice, with severed windpipe and autopsy-married body, would not duplicate his own death upon theorrow. He had come to his death on a Tuesday, a Tuesday with which—had he lived—he would have begun a new course of action to be duplicated on Wednesday. But he had died, and now for once the Man Who Did Things Twice would fall in his eccentricity. Perhaps for that his spirit would be born the morning, while the attendant who had been first on the death scene of the previous day was holding forth at length on the tragedy with certain servant-bronies, the call-bell suddenly rang and the hand of the call dial palm around and pointed to number 63. The man hastened to obey the summons, not noticing that the hands of the hall clock pointed to 15 minutes of ten, nor delaying to recollect what guest occupied room 63. The tragedy of the preceding day had been the event of his life, and he had not as yet descended to the trifles of his daily room. As he tapped briskly at the door of room 63 and put his hand upon the knob to enter, it suddenly came over him that he had done precisely such a thing before. That at about that time of some other morning he had been summoned by the call-bell to room 63—had knocked, turned the knob, entered—and a loud cry, a shout thick with horror, broke from the man's lips, and he reeled back into the hallway. There before him, in the center of the room, half-dressed, battling with the invisible air, with blue lips and protruding eyes, stood The Man Who Did Things Twice. The ominous, ghostly hush that followed the frightened attendant's cry was quickly broken by the hurry of many feet, and soon again the hctel was aroused and again Dr. Thiel bent over the prostrate and dying Henry Hobart. Outside and distinctly could be heard the clang of the fire-bells, but in the room of death all was sudden silence, all were hushed by the frightful, ghostly thought that the scene before them had been enacted before—the dying man with his discolored face and struggling hands, the physician bending over him, the alarmed, pitying faces of the gathered guests, and the frightened servants huddled in the background. And the man must die—did he have did it? They looked on, and waited. Then the end came, and Dr. Thiel, arising, said: "He is dead!" He had uttered those words once before and under like conditions. And the guests and the servants spoke together in horrified whispers, as they had done before; then the assembly broke up and the hall way was cleared as before! There was something immeasurably painful about it all, to live a thing over in that frightful way, to be, as it were, mere puppets at a show, and one day to be to another day as a reflection in a mirror. For a time those who had witnessed both tragedies seemed to live in a kind of trance, and moved about and whispered together like beings in a dream; but finally the natural reasserted itself, and then curiosity seized them. What was the meaning of it? Henry Hobart had died and his body had been mutilated by the surgeon's knife. How. S. H. There in the Middle of the Room Was the Man Who Did Things Twice. then, had he died a second time and his body shown no marks of the knife? Had they been deceived by a ghost? No; there in room 63 lay the dead man—fish and blood—and seven blocks away, resting on a marble slab, with the water dripping continually it, lay the other body of Henry Hobart—The Man Who Did Things Twice. A sudden doubt came into the mind of Dr. Thiel, a misgiving that frightened him. Was that body—that autopsy-married body—sill resting quietly on its slab at the morgue? Or— Hastily quitting the hotel, he hurried towards the morgue, and suddenly came up against an insurmountable blank wall of mystery. The morgue was a heap of charred ruin and smoldering, steaming ashes, and a thick layer of blood. Hobart had been lying on its slab during the period of the fire, then it had been totally consumed, and that other body up at the hotel was that of a second Henry Hobart; but, if the autopsy-married body of Henry Hobart had not been lying quietly on its slab during the raging of the fire, then, in God's name, who and what was he who had died up at the Summer house that The Attractions of Pearl "Occasionally I have run across girls like Pearl in the pages of the have run across the pages of the comic weekly," wrote the girl her friend, "but I honestly never treated them they really existed until this living representative of the type burst upon ally at the hotel. C. P. "Pearl came to California from the east. I never chanced to meet anything like her in Chicago, for the very good reason that she would not last long there, but wizened and the conversational jolts which certainly would come her way. The first evening I met her I gathered the interesting facts that she had attended boarding school, that father was in constant terror lest she marry some of the young ones hovering around her and that she had traveled in Europe and had been offered a live prince in marriage, and, moreover, that she was in society. "When she came down the following morning dressed for church and confided with a bored air as she flicked a speck of dust from her velvet suit that it really was quite impossible to wear velvet without one's maid and she should never again be so foolish as to travel without hers, it was the finishing blow. "I looked as impressed as I could. 'It must be lovely to have a maid,' I said. "Carl regarded me in gentle condescension. 'Really, one cannot be properly gowned without one,' she said, looking me over critically. 'I don't wonder that most girls look so—so unfinished! Who is the man at the writing desk?' "A great joy stole into my soul as I followed her glance and saw Mr. Hamilton Neill srowling over a letter. I really owed Mr. Neill a blow or two anyhow and besides I instantly saw that Pearl would be the precise infiltration good for the development or weakness. What he needed most was meekness of spirit and a subduing of that assertiveness which during my brief acquaintance with him I have tried to overcome, with results which, while varied, have always been entertaining. "He glanced up on me and my meditative expression must have worried him, for he hastily ended his letter and came across to us. "Did you want me? he inquired. I never saw a man his equal for saying what he means regardless of tact and all that. " "Always, I assured him, sweetly, at which he looked furious. "Then I presented him to Pearl and escaped. I say her gaze up into his face in a way which I knew meant that she had her clutches on him for the next hour or two and that nothing could save him unless help came from outside. After dinner that night he cornered me." "Look here, he began, I didn't deserve it! She had her hat on and I kept thinking she would go until she said she was afraid church might make her head ache worse and then she talked one hour and 64 minutes! She was afraid of the clock! Do you realize that Pearl is a belle at home and has been out two years and is so popular that she actually has not had time yet to pay up all her debentuate calls? Are you aware that she refused a dozen or so letters of introduction for herself and her mother out here simply because she was not a citizen, and there really is no use of their plunging right into it again? Was it apparent to you that she is a sad flirt and that father often says: "Pearl! Pearl! Be careful, my child, for men have hearts?" There is a lot more, too: "She had bad as all that! I murmured intently. I had no idea she seemed a rather pretty girl and I thought-" "Yes, I know you thought," growled Mr. Hamilton Neill. "You are apt to be taken with those happy thoughts at almost any minute, I have learned. I'll pay you up for it, too! If you so much as dare leave me leaving here all alone when Pearl is artistically draped across one corner of that diving wall. You're holding on to the vacant seat beside her, determinedly expecting me to come. I'm lost. I'm only a helpless creature anyhow and since you got me into this it is your duty to see me through! Please don't leave me!" "He really was abject, and as that phase in him was quite new to me, of course," he said. "Everybody is particularly lovely to me these days. They are afraid if they aren't I will introduce them to Pearl."—Chicago Daily News. Squirrel Weather Prophets John Linn of Oll City has a pair of squirrels which he brought home from the Oklahoma oil fields a year or two ago, which he declares are infallible weather prophets. The other morning he went to feed the animals and they refused to be coaxed into the open.

The next day he viciously vined the incredulous Mrs. Linn that the squirrels were real weather prophets.—Philadelphia Record. Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless; Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food; Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Tatt, of Brooklyn, N.Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endurance of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.

She had refused him, and he stood twirling his mustache and looking perusal until she was in a tearing temper. "What are you standing there for?" she demanded, stamping her foot. "Well, I am wondering," he said, slowly; "whom are you going to marry, since you won't marry me." "It's none of your business," she flamed angrily. "Oh, yes, it is," he drew. "At any rate, I'm interested. I shouldn't like to marry a fellow I didn't think well of, you know, since I came near marrying you yourself." It seemed to her that she would falter with indignation. "You never came near marrying me, she at length managed to gasp. I didn't think even of marrying you, and as to whom I do marry, you have nothing to do with it. I shall marry anybody I please!" "That's just it," he returned, thoughtfully; "suppose you don't please anybody?" Then there was nothing left to her marry or raving hysteries. FISH A FRIEND OF HUMANITY. Australian Species That Feeds on Larvae of Mosquitoes. That most animals have some specific function to perform is well known. Now, scientists claim that a species of fish exists in Australian waters which feeds on the larvae of mosquitoes and so reduces the prospects of malaria. It belongs to a family of carnivorous, of flesh-eating, fish which is frequently found in the temperate and tropic zone, and usually in shallow water. Very small in size, being only about $1\frac{1}{2}$ or two inches in length, it has, in the male, yellow and black-striped fins, while the eye is of a bright blue. The fins during certain seasons of the year acquire great brilliancy.-London Answers. Glasgow for His "This orange marmalade comes from Scotland," said a grocer. "Nice on the Riviera, you know—also turns out a marmalade. "I visited the Riviera last winter. The sewage of Nice runs into the blue Mediterranean, and you can see it floating on the sunlit water, with galls swarming about it like great flies. "Sometimes it is washed ashore. You study it from the Promenade des Anglals—cabbage tops, bottle-wrappers of straw, orange skins, lemon skins, soft green masses of vegetable refuse. "And day by day Nice men patrol the shore, selecting from the garbage all the orange skins, which they thrust into large burlap bags. "Will you have the Nice or the Glasgow marmalade? The Glasgow marmalade? The Glasgow? Thank you, sir." Bringing Out the Best. Do you know those people who all ways bring out your best? You should not be ungenerous or spiteful in their presence.

On the other hand, many men have perpetrated wholesale cruelties, have committed great crimes and left a lastingly bad mark on history because some woman, or an unhappy home has brought out their worst. After the Honeymoon. "Boo-hoo!" sobbed Cynthia under her blue bonnet. "I don't believe you love me any more." "Wall, I do declare," laughed Jason as he washed the milk pails, "what put that idea into your head, little gel?" "Why, before our marriage you user to honey me up and say I was an sweet as sweet cider and now you say I am sour." "Oh, don't worry, pet. Even the sweetest of sweet cider turns to vinegar after a time." Dorothy's Views. "Hush, child," hastened the mother, "Uncle Ben is what he call a 'wise old saw.'" Dorothy looked at the myriad of frowins on the old gentleman's face. "Declacious, mammal!" she whispered. "He looks so cross he must be one of those cross-cut saws like they saw big logs with." To Maintain Health. There is an erroneous idea in the minds of many as to what constitute a strong physique. A man can be strong physically without great stature and huge muscles. If he has a wiry frame, a body that resists disease, he can indulge in many hours of severe brain work. He will make it a rule however, to take sufficient physical exercise to keep his system in good working order. Mental Struggle "A great struggle takes place in a woman's mind when another woman asks what her new gown cost," remarked the thoughtful thinker. "What's the answer," queried the unsophisticated youth. "She's in doubt whether to cut the price in half and make the other woman envy her bargain, or double and make her envy her affluence," replied the t. t. His Discovery. Cholly—You remember I told you yesterday that Miss Perkyns told me the night before that she would marry me. Jack—Yes, Cholly—Well, I happened to think this morning that she said that she would marry me on the thirty-first of September, so I looked up the calendar to see what day of the week it would be, and, do you know, September has only 80 days. Ingenuity in Stealing. Ingenuity in stairway "What's all the row about?" the hungry man quarried as the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 15 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of catables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use the 15-cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm," muttered the hungry man; "mine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier. Citron Tree and the Bible. Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorized version of the Bible gives "apple." For instance, in the Proverbs, "A word fity spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again, "Stay me with dagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love."

"I must tell you my experience on an East bound O. R. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore," writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling man. "I was in the smoking department with some other traveling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, "There is a woman sick unto death in car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I never travel without it), ran to the water tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her' rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car.'

WUNN & Co. 301 Broadway, New York Street, F. P. B. Washington, New York --- EXAMPLES OF MEDIEVAL ART Fine Stained Glass Windows Recently Received at New York. The two German windows of stained glass among the recent acquisitions belong in period to the early sixteenth century, at the time when medievalism passes over into renaissance. The color is lighter and paler than that of the preceding century and is secondary in importance to the design. In the examples at the museum are certain tints of yellow that began to be used in the middle of the fifteenth century, as taste changed in favor of lighter rooms. The subjects of the windows are St. John and St. Maximine against a background of tapestry and architecture treated so as to appear on the same plane as the figures. The author of the note on the windows in the Museum Bulletin says that the drawing is undoubtedly the work of a painter—and a very good one—of the Ober-Rhein school, and that as St. Maximine was blissed of Trier, the supposition that the glass is from that source is probably correct. Very fine examples of the same period are those in the nave of Cologne cathedral—New York Times. APPLES ONLY ON APPLE TREES Small Girl a Humorist, Though Probably Unconscious. A Washington man, while visiting a friend's place in Virginia, became much interested in his experiments in fruit culture. One day the visitor was making the rounds of the place, being in charge of the friend's young daughter of ten, who acted as guide. "This tree seems to be loaded with apples," observed the Washingtonian, indicating a particularly fine specimen. "Yes, sir," assented the little girl; "father says this is a good year for apples." "I am glad to hear that," said the visitor. "Are all your trees as full of apples as this one?" "No, sir," explained the girl, "only the apple trees."—Harper's Weekly.
