Its beginning was in 1909, when ranks high in the educational world. Because of the fact that it is largely supported and maintained by the government of the United States it has a national significance to Afro-Americans. The last session of congress added $00,000 to its annual appropriation for the university and appropriation for the department of science. There is also in course of construction a $00,000 library, the gift of Andrew Carnegie. Thirty-five states were represented by students during the session of 1908-9, which is an evidence of the national scope of the school. There were also 112 students from nine for- HOWARD UNIVERSITY eign countries. Here native Africans, East Indians, South Americans, West Indians and students of other nationalities come in quest of knowledge. With as much ardor as do the native American students. All fight for her honor on field and in forum. He who thinks that Howard is not a real university in every sense of the word should be better informed. He should have his attention called to the fact that there are ninety-seven members of the university faculty, that there are seven schools offering twenty-one different courses, that its professors are men of profound learning, that it is well equipped in buildings and with funds and that it is well supplied with an excellent student body to carry on the work of a real university. Besides increasing the number of her schools, she has increased the efficiency of her scholarship, which today compares favorably with that of any of the big schools of the east. Glancing at the student life, we find such organizations as the vested choir, the Young Men's Glee club, the orchestra and the brass band taking the lead in the musical side of university life. Student societies are the Alpha Phi Literary, the Kappa Sigma Debating club, the Young Ladies' Centric club, the Pestalozzi-Froebel society, the Theological Literary society, the Eureka Literary, the Young Men's Christian association and the Young Women's Christian association. The Presbyterian Thirldeck, whose zeal and passion have done so much to bring about the new era of progresa, believes in the encouragement of these student organizations and also in the development of college sports and games. Advance In Howard University. This year marks a great advance in Howard university. The foundation of the new $60,000 library is in, and the construction of the building will be continued as rapidly as practicable, so that, if possible, it may be ready for occupancy early this fall. It is the gift of Mr. Carnegie and is by 49 to 50 feet, constructed of red brick, trimmed with stone and terra cotta. It will be a beautiful building, well equipped with modern appliances. The new Science hall, which is to cost $30,000, will also be completed soon. It is by 60 to 125 feet, with three stories and a high basement, mostly above ground. It will have modern conveniences and first class equipment in all its laboratories and lecture rooms. There have been added a new professor of physics and instructor in biology, an expert cataloger and an online worker in the library. This gives in the force of instruction two men in chemistry, two in physics and two in biology. In 1908 two specialists were added to the faculty of the Teachers' college. This department has a great future. Though it has a growing attendance, it cannot prepare advanced teachers rapidly enough to meet the demand for them in the high schools, normal schools, industrial departments and colleges of the country. The College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences is devoted to higher academic and librarian studies. The standard in extent and variety of courses is fully abreast of the standard of American colleges. There are courses in English, mathematics, astronomy, Greek, Latin, history, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, French, German, psychology, philosophy, pedagogy, commercial law, international law and social science. Students of the College of Arts and Sciences share the knowledge offered by professional departments of university, Languages, history, science and psychology may be pursued as a basis of professional work in theology, law, medicine and teach- ing. Electives have been so arranged that students may hope to anticipate one year's work in the professional schools of the university. The new Science building, with its superior modern equipment and the provision for practical instruction and work in applied psychology, adds new impetus to the science and brings its practical courses up to the requirements of up to date college work. Professor Kelly Miller, who is widely known as a mathematician, sociologist, lecturer, author and educator, is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Teachers' College Professor Lewis B. Moore, Ph.D., is dean of the Teachers' college, which was established as a department of pedagogy in May, 1890. The aim is to supply a very definite demand for advanced professional training for teachers and a more serious study of educational problems. Its specific work is the training of teachers for kindergartens, elementary, high and normal schools and colleges. There are five courses offered in this department: has a college course for the training of teachers of high schools, normal schools and colleges. The two year manual training course for teachers of primary and grammar schools. The kindergarten training course. The courses in manual arts, domestic science and domestic art, offered by the combined facilities of the Teachers' college and the School of Manual Arts. Courses in vocal and instrumental music Students of the Teachers' college are sent into the public schools of Washington as assistants to the regular teachers, where they get into the real atmosphere of actual school conditions and are given opportunity to apply the principles of education under real conditions. The School of Medicine. The School of Medicine, of which Dr. Edward A. Balloch is dean and Dr. W. C. McNell M secretary, is the largest department of the university. During the past session 407 students were enrolled. In pursues the medical dental and pharmacic colleges and a postgraduate school and polyclinic. There are fifty-four members of the faculty. The new Freedman's hospital, which has 200 beds, furnishes unassigned clinical facilities for the students of this school. During the year ending June 20, 1900, the hospital cared for 2,500 in-patients and 3,238 out-patients. The clinic is for practitioners who are anxious to keep abreast of the latest advances in medicine, surgery and dentistry. The Law Department. The law department holds its sessions in a commodious building remodeled and fitted up for that purpose on Fifth street opposite the courthouse. It has a well equipped law library open daily for the accommodation of students. A member of the faculty is in daily attendance both to preserve order and to assist the students in any difficulty they may encounter in their reading. Most of the faculty are engaged in the active practice of law, and all of its members are devoted to the interests of the school. All of the courts of the District ex cap in the county throughout the school year, in addition to the school year. Students are privileged to attend the trin of all kinds of cases under forms of procedure which obtain in most of the states whenever it suits their convictions. B. F. Leighton, LL. B., is the dean of this department. The Commercial College. The Commercial college is one of the most important colleges in the university. Professor George W. Cook, A. M., LL. M., is dean of this college. Recognizing the growth of commercial interests in the United States, this col-lege was established to prepare young men and women for the business world. Here one is fitted for the management of property and for expert accountancy. It is expected of our graduates not only that they will prove capable of serving individual enterprises, but also that they will become significant factors in arousing entire communities to their obligations and privileges in the world of business. The course is also recommended for those who desire to prove the civil service examinations. Commercial law, government, industrial history of the United States, commercial geography, political economy, typewriting, stenography and bookkeeping are among some of the courses offered. Miss Bradford Takes Up Dentistry. We are always pleased to note the progress of our young women. Many of them have had a hard struggle to get an education and are unable to occupy employment in keeping with their education and aspirations. The success of Miss Gertrude E.

Little did Spain think that the Moors had any such war up their sleeves. Some one says that submarine vessels are safe. They are at least bur glar proof. Vicious dogs should be kept at home so they could practice upon their owners. The aeroplanes may need skypar lors or roosts. They certainly would be misfits in a garage. Our pole discoverers will find the exhilarating cup of glory more to the taste than an Eskimo bill of fare. In her friendly overtures, this country desires to inform China that she can go as far as she likes with us. New York and London still cherish horse cars, but the mule car has dis appeared from the face of the earth. The vagaries and queer happenings in Chicago are now fully accounted for. They believe in that city in pie for breakfast. A girl cashier has been poisoned through handling money. Her acidic breather, is hardly likely to make the practice unpopular. Since Berlin's population is increasing, London should listen carefully to see if German is crowding the English language at headquarters.

But King Alfonso will want his throne carefully examined for shaky foundations, at frequent in tarwals, for a long time to come. Returning from an unsuccessful effort to fly across the British channel a French aviator "was compelled to kiss several girls, who threw their arms around his neck." This is no way to teach aeronauts to be successful. A number of women in Massachusetts pleased with the police to give up a baseball umpire to the crowd that wanted to kill him. This removes the last doubt that women are fully capable of entering, like men, into the principles of popular government. The scar on his visit to England was more like a captive than a king guarded as he was with battleships and battalions of plain-clothes men it is safe to say the uncrowned American tourist gets a heap more fun out of his international jaunts than any European sovereign. Canada proposes a centennial celebration in recognition of the hundred years of peace that have followed the war of 1812. That is a happy idea and one that is likely to find hearty favor in this country. And why should there not be commemoration of a century of peace and neighbor lines as well as of bloody conflicts? The uniform of the United States army is to change its color again. A generation ago it was blue. This gave way to khaki, and now the brown of olive oil. But whatever color may cover the American soldier his heart, his loyalty, and his courage are the same as they were in '76, in '12, in '45, in '61, and in '88. Business closed July 31 with a cash balance of $258,437,000 on hand in the national treasury at Washington. There are to be economy and retrenchment, which indicates wise management of the people's money. But Uncle Sam has a considerable surplus on hand and his credit is pretty good. thank you. In theory, at least, we imprison criminals primarily to reform them. We can not conceive that whipping is conductive to that end. Most convicts imagine that they have been mistreated by the judge's sentence. It cultivates and strengthens their criminal instincts and fosters sociology when they are whipped and that feeling does not help them to reform when they leave the penitentiary. Moreover, whatever spark of self-respect may remain must be extinguished by the brutality of a whipping. "At Yale," replied President Haddad to a visiting clergyman who asked how long it was the custom to preach "there is a fixed belief that no conversions are made after the first half hour." It is a good thing to know when to stop talking, either in the pulpit or on the platform. It is easier to bore than to please, as most audiences will testify.

P.-Harry Whitney, of New Haven, who arrived here from Labrador on the steamer Jansie, says he has no reason for doubling that both Cook and Peary reached the pole. Mr. Whitney was questioned regarding the statements made to him by Dr. Frederick A. Cook in Greenland. He said Cook answered at Annotok in April of this year and declared that he had reached the north pole a year before. He pledged Whitney, however, not to tell Commander Peary, who was to be informed only that Cook had gone farther north than Peary's previous record, 87 degrees 6 minutes. Continuing, Dr. Cook told Whitney that he had accomplished all he expected to, and more besides, and that he was through with the northern country. Whitney did not communicate the latter part of this statement to Commander Peary. Continuing, Mr. Whitney said that Dr. Cook had complained to him of Peary's taking over his house and stores, but declared that he had suffered no unfairness. Peary's steward, William Pritchard, was present when these statements were made; like Mr. Whitney, he was pledged to secrecy by Dr. Cook. Murphy, Peary's basktail, who was in charge of the house, was not present and did not hear Dr. Cook's communications. There were two houses on the Greenland shore, one at Annotok, holding Cook's stores, and another at Eath, holding Peary's stores. The three white men, Whitney, Murphy and Pritchard, sometimes occupied one and sometimes the other of these houses. Murphy is not able to read or write. He had written instructions from Peary which Whitney, at Peary's request, read over to him from time to time. Murphy was also stringent. They directed Murphy to use Cook's stores first and Peary's afterwards. Murphy was told in them that he was to give Dr. Cook every help if he came along in a needy condition, and furthermore the instruction implied that Murphy was to organize an expedition to search for Dr. Cook, but according to Mr. Whitney this part of the job was to search for the unseen, Mr. Whitney said that Cook had a copy of these instructions and would doubtless make them public. When Dr. Cook and his Eskimos arrived at the house they had no sledge; being too tired to drag it over the rough ice they had left it 20 miles from Etah. The following day some other Eskimos went out, recovered the sledge and brought it in. On it were Dr. Cook's instruments, clothes and food. After spending two days at Annotok, where Cook first met Whitney, Cook started for Etah. Whitney accompanied him. The doctor had figured out roughly the date the he would likely get to Upernavik, and when the Dundee whalers or the Danish store ships would reach there, and he argued that he had no time to lose. He planned originally to take two Eakimos and two sledges, but one Eakimo fell sick and this man is necessary for him to outwit the luggage he could take with him south. New York—Dr. Frederick A. Cook contemplates the bringing of a suit against Commander Peary to recover damages for slander and defamation, according to friends of the Brooklyn explorer. Dr. Cook himself had nothing to say regarding the proposed suit, but his secretary, Walter Lonsale, admitted Saturday that the idea was not a mistake. Cook and by John R. Bradley, Cook's backer. He said that addifavis had already been prepared in case it was definitely decided to bring the suit." New York—Friends of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, whose claim that he discovered the north pole has been challenged by Commander R. E. Peary, anticipate a bitter attack on his record. The announcement several days ago that a lawyer representing the North Pacific club has been retained at Seattle, Wash., to fully investigate all the details of Dr. Cook's reported ascent of Mount McKinley, is followed now by Dr. Cook's effort to have one of the guides who accompanied him on that expedition to come to New York. He has sent a telegram to this guide, Edward Burrill, at Hamilton, Mont. asking him to lose no time in getting here. Wallace's Statue in Capitol.

NEW YORK'S BIG PARADE Hudson-Fulton Pageant Witnessed by Two Million People — Epoch-Making Scenes Reviewed. New York. — Through streets ablaze with bunting and lined with the greatest crowd ever gathered in New York thoroughfares, a parade of 20,000 men and 54 floats passed before the envoys of 21 nations participating in the Hudson-Fulton celebration. And in its passing, which occupied two hours' time, the epoch-maker scenes of two large sculptures sent in gigantic figures of wood, plaster, paint and tinsel, were reviewed.

DESCENDS MONTANA COPPER MINE AT BUTTE President Greeted by a Great Crowd at Ancendona—Prescena in Mormon Tabernacle. Helena, Monti—President Taft had the rare experience of seeing miners at work 1,200 feet below the surface at the famous Old Leonard copper mine at Butte. Attired in a Huan duster, an old black slouch hat and swinging an electric lantern at his side the chief executive was locked in a narrow iron cage and dropped through midnight darkness into the depths of the earth. When he had ascended with a whip, after half an hour under ground, the president, blinking in the glare of the noonday sun, was cheered to the echo by the crowd of curious people gathered at the holst. He declared: "I would not have missed it for the world." It was the president's first visit to the Montana copper district and between the smelters at Anaconda and the mines at Butte he had a series of interesting experiences. Not the least of these was a thrilling automobile ride over the mountains from Butte to the mouth of the Leonard mine. The grades were steep and winding but the chaffeurs were experienced men, and while there was a sigh of relief when Mr. Taft had once more been placed safely aboard the Mayflower for the run to Helena. Arriving here, he went directly to the state fair grounds where, after viewing a portion of the exhibits he made an open-air address and witnessed a race of cowboys. Returning to the city Mr. Taft reviewed a parade of horses. Leaving he headed direct for Spokane where he delivered his formal speech on the subject of the conservation of the natural resources and the reclamation of arid lands. President Taft walked with a limp when he first got off the train at Anaconda, the result of a sprained tendon in his right foot. The sprain was serious about the sprain and Mr. Taft did not let it interfere in any way with his plans. The president made a flying trip through the Washoe smoker of the Amalgamated Copper Company at Anaconda, then proceeded into the city and after a brief address took the train for Butte. The crowds which grazed him on the streets that the largest he had seen since leaving Chicago. Salt Lake City—President Taft from the pulpit of the famous Mormon tabernacle in this city on Sunday preached a sermon on amity between people to a vast audience. He said the assemblage inspired him to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, theodore Roosevelt, who four years later became a same platform on the duties of good citizenship and right living. Mr. Taft did preach a sermon—text and all. The immense audience in the flag-draped edifice, the splendid musical program of operatic and patriotic selections, the enthusiastic cheering as President Taft appeared and the quick response of the audience to points which he endeavored to impress upon his hearers, inspired him, the president declared, with higher thoughts of country and patriotism. The president's sermon was an appeal for amity between the people, for virtue, the best rather than the worst motives to the action of others when possible to do so and not to harbor hatred or animosity. "A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger" was the text Mr. Taft, selected from the book of Proverbs. The sermon was a homely utterance, largely made up of a relation of stories to give emphasis to the points. 1.000 CHILDREN TERRIFIED "Black Hand" Stories—Gause Panic in a School—Fourteen Youngsters Are Injured. New York—Terrified by "Black Hand" stories, 1,000 children stamped in a Polish parochial school in Jersey City, when fireworks were set off in the street, and made a mad rush for the doors, 14 were crushed, one so seriously that death will result. The fatally injured child is Marianna Zelackeyh, seven years old; the others comprise five little girls and eight boys, all ranging from seven to ten years in age. All are in Jersey City hospitals, but it is believed that all will recover.

FAVORED DOGS IN GERMANY Dachahund is the Most Popular Variety, the English Bulldog Being Second Choice. The dachahund is the favorite dog in Germany, and a very useful and pleasant companion he seems to be. The English bulldog is a good second in popularity, and the nearer he is to our street the more he is liked. The fox terrier varies a good deal in size and marking and is evidently not so well known in Germany as he deserves to be. The ladies there are as fond of their little Poms and their King Charleses as are their English sisters of their pet dogs at home.

All Bridges, 310 Centre Mayor of Philadelphia Resents interference in His Efforts to Get Rid of Them. Mayor Reyburn, who considers the city hall pigeons a nuisance, and would rid the buildings of them if he could, considers the efforts of the anticleruity to animals societies to prevent the pigeons being driven out as meddlesome, and sometimes waxes sarcastic in referring to the societies. Recently, the mayor was holding his daily chat with the newspaper men, several fire engines with clanging gongs, a crowd thundering down Broad street of around the city hall. The pigeons, evidently frightened by the gongs, flew excitedly around and around outside of the mayor's office on the north side of the building. As the whir of wings swpt through the room, the mayor excalled, half sailing, but with an attempt at seriousness: "My! The fire engines are disturbing the pigeons. Where is the Society, for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals? Such a trifle as saving citizens' property from burning should not be allowed to interfere with the peace of the pigeons."-Philadelphia Times. "Mustn't Work Like Roebottom, F. W.

FOR KILLING CAPT. RAYMOND Chief of Staff of United States Army, at Washington, Sends Message to Col. Frank West at Des Moines. Des Moines, Oct. 1.—Lisle Crabtree, former corporal of the Second cavalry at Fort Des Moines, convicted of the murder of his superior officer, Capt. John C. Raymond at Fort Des Moines three months ago, must serve a life sentence in federal prison for his act. Confirmation of the sentence passed by the general court-martial court at Fork Crook, Omaha, where Crabtree was tried has been received by Col. Frank West, in command at Fort Des Moines. The court martial inflicted a life sentence in federal prison. The message confirming the sentence, which will send Crabtree within the walls of the big jail at Fort Leavenworth within a month, was short. "Crabtree sentence confirmed," are the words flashed over the wires from the pen of the chief of staff, Gen. J. F. Bell, of Washington, D. C. Since his return from the trial at Fort Crook, Crabtree has been confined under double guard, in the good house at Fort Des Moines. He has resigned to his fate, and has made no attempts to harm himself. It is also understood that he shows no signs of violent temper, nor the symptoms of insanity which caused the officer of the guard so much trouble in keeping him from taking his own life previous to the trial. His mother and brother returned to their home in Virginia some time ago. Attorney James M. Parsons said the confirmation of the sentence was the only thing to be expected. Crabtre will not begin his sentence in federal prison until a period of thirty days has elapsed. BARLOW SHOE FITS TRACK Des Moines, Oct. 1—Sheriff Niss, and his posse took the shoes from the feet of William and Charles Barlow and went to the trail found by the bloodhounds' leading from the house where Charles Murrow was murdered Tuesday night. William Barlow's shoes fit the tracks. No tracks could be found to fit Charles' shoes. William's shoes were the same kind as those stolen by the Adelphi robbers, who have been terrorizing that community, since Sunday. A farmer living cast of the Murrow farm, says he heard dogs barking at 12 o'clock Tuesday near his home. It was at this point the blood hounds picked up the Barlow trail. Corner Newen said that the bullet found in the head of the murdered man was a 38 caliber ball. The sheerl and posse yesterday set off on a trail hoping to find the cave or secret hiding place of the suspected murderer of robbers believed to have been implicated in the crime. Ben Murrow, brother of the murdered man and only witness who heard two shots, was sleeping in an adjoining room with his wife. He was business partner of the dead man and is named as beneficiary in a $2,000 life insurance policy left by Charles. Murrow stated that he does not tell in the Barlow theory. Third Arrest Made in Murder Inquiry. Bert Ash, a farm hand, who is said to have been at the state fair grounds at 11 o'clock Tuesday night in company with William and Charles Barlow, as arraigned in jail pending the thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Charles Murrow, the dairy farmer who was murdered at his home three miles southeast of the fair grounds. Shortly after the arrest of the third prisoner, new evidence was furnished by Officer Jesse Kimes, who patrols the eastern limits of the city on horse back at night. Kimes notified the police headquarters that he recognized the pictures of the Barlow brothers as the likenesses of two of the three men whom he had ordered away from the fair grounds at 11 o'clock Tuesday night, three hours before the murder of Murrow. Ash was with them, according to Kimes, and the officer said he compelled the three to take a fourth comrade to his home in East Des Moines. All were intoxicated the officer said. Fatal Train Wreck.

HUMOR BURNED AND ITCHED. Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and Face—It Was Something Terrible. "About fifteen or eighteen years ago eczema developed on top of my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease and I finally concluded to try the Calcutra Remedies and found relief in the first trial I continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since. C. Burkhar, 236 W. Market St., Chambersburg, Pa. Sept. 19, 1968." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Propa., Boston. As St. Louis Lawyers Talk. Circuit Judge Reynolds had an nounced that he would hear jurors who had excuses to offer for not serving, and a dozen American citizens crowded up to the bench to tell their stories. Their excuses were as varied as those who were bidden to the feast that the Bible tells about. One had an important engagement and another could not hear very well, and another had sickness in his family, and another had duties to perform which nobody else on earth could perform, and another was going on a journey. And so it went. The last man in the line wanted to be let off because he was a German. He might have been excused if he had not presented his excuse end for itself. "Judge," he said, "I can't understand good English." "Oh, you'll do all right," said the judge. "There is no good English spoken in here." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch. They Didn't Have to Change During the years in which our pure food laws have been put into effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food manufacturers to change their methods to the way they pay. The Quaker Oats Company is a conspicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food. It was so cheap that any one can afford it and so nourishing that everyone needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker Oats has been adopted as their food which they rely for adding vigor and endurance of muscle and brain. The Quaker Oats Company meets all demands in the way it packs Quaker Oats; regulates their food family package; the latter, both with and without china. 4 Changed Farm Life. The dull silence that hung over that New England dinner table has been lifted of late. It is gone like the dew in the sunlight of the new social influences. The isolation of the farm was the chilling cause that drove men into the cities. Being, by telephone and free delivery, the money and currencies being carried to the country and are vitalizing the rural community into a life that is rich and abundant in the variety of its interests. A real heart hunger has been answered. Over hill and down dale flashes the impulse that electrifies existence with the thrill of human living, other human life.—Dedoestor. "Filthy Lucre." The expression "sithy lucre" is of Biblical origin, and is to be found in the third chapter of the first book of Timothy, where the qualifications necessary for the office of a bishop are thus set forth: "This is a true saying. If a man desireth the office of bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop must then be blameful of the hand of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous." Snake Story. "Before he went fishing," said the town story-seller, he swallowed 'bout a pint an' half of snakebite remedy, an' of course you know what that is? Well, after the snake bit him, the cuttle all sorts o' capers, kaze the remedy, went straight to its head.

An indictment to that effect was returned against her by the grand jury. It came just at the hour set or a hearing by the insane commission to determine the mental condition of the girl, and thereby robbed that body of any jurisdiction in the murder. It was a race between the grand jury and the insane commission, but the former won out easily. The latter would, however, have been the victor and it not been for the absence from the city of Dr. J. J. Flannery. Realizing that prompt action must be taken to prevent a hearing before the insane commission Judge Miller instructed Ed. Mahan, chief deputy clerk, to make out the warrant immediately after the returning of the indictment. This was done and rushed to Sheriff Hess. He read it to the insane commission, who sent the hospital apartment at the county jail. Of course she did not understand what was being said or done, but the procedure was necessary. When this is disposed of Mrs. Taylor will be taken to Anamosa, where she will be placed in the insane ward at the big reformatory. Polk county officials will give some attention to the man known as Everett Humble, charged with being the betrayer of the girl. Humble, and Des Molines are working hard to get evidence against him, and if they are successful they say they will file charges. Attorney Parsons presented an application to Judge Miller asking that bond be granted to the girl so that she can be moved to a hospital if she regains any strength. Col. Swain Sells His Farm. Oskalosa—United States Consul and Mrs. A. A. Swain have disposed of their Mahaska county farm at a good figure. They sold it to A. T. Van Wonhallerng for $27,000. The sale is significant of the cold rise in real estate in the shanks county during the last decade. The Swain bought the farm in 1801 from the estate of Charles Hutchinson, a former resident of Oskalosa and Dai. Moines for $16,500, or $5 per acre, and just nine years later have sold it for nearly double the price, or $90 per acre. In addition to the $1,000 per year rental which the property brings, the increase has been almost $2,000 per year, or, in other words, the investment has netted them about $2,000 per year. The original entry of the farm was made in 1846 by William Bovel. A Big Shipment of Hogs. Knoxville—There were probably more hogs in Knoxville a few days ago than in any other town of the equal size in the state.

The money for the purpose, such as the improvement of London, the purchase of Tompkins' picture gallery, or the repair of various harbors.

The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdinham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in to the back of the sheep, they tell the story, wheel rounds, and disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that stormy period. Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of unsavory fame who once haunted the district of Maline. It is on the hunters' moon when the g鬼 rides abroad, and nervous people on the Lissabon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman—Lewiston Journal. A FEW OF LIFE'S PARADOXES All True, Though at First They Seem to Read Rather Odd. Peace we secure by armaments liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased and by lavish expence and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commercial system of credit; our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggars in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certain lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its unforgiving life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy—well, forgive him, and thereby heap coals of fire on his head; to realize your self, renounce yourself; to save your soul, first lose it; in short, die to life.—Prof. William James, in Hilbert Journal.

Rare Washington Portrait. a rare and curious messy portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass. was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as if it was a portrait of the Father of His Country, Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mezotzin has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Isolate on Yellow Flower Charles Christardo, an expert on flour and graing sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in no far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent, of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine. CHILDREN OF EXALTED TASTES Little Ones Used to Dignitaries of High Estate. A well-known family in Catholic circles, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the small daughters were sent to school. The family, being quite hospitably inclined, entertained quite lavishly some of the dignitaries of the Vatican. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to see the father. After awhile they came, the three little golden-haired girls; but they only stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such behavior, said to the eldest: "Come here, dear; don't you remember good Father — who used to come and see us from the cathedral?" there they stood, the three little blonde tots, and looking, most disapprovingly at good Father —, the eldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said—Philadelphia Public Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW. Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers. and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little imp if he belonged to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that boy had received them then he would be all the critics were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the generalbabel of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small (smest raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I'd make him mind, and to hold half kill him. Would you." "I don't know," said the little woman, mildly, "what I do." "You don't?" said the determined woman. "Well, I know. But maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never had any of your own?" "Oh, yes," said the little woman. "I don't know what I would do. I don't know what I would do." Concrete Not Modern. Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is secrely half a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that came to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumpy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Coigneet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings, at first for more useful buildings like conservatories. As early as 1874 a concrete villa was built on the north coast of Long Island sound, but it was many years before the idea "took" here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avidity-Smith's Magazine. Blindness. "There are various degrees and kinds of blindness, widow. There is the connubial blindness, ma'am, which perhaps you may have observed in the course of your own experience, and which is a kind of wilful and self-damaging blindness. There is the blindness of party, ma'am, and men, women, and a ball in the midst of a regiment of soldiers clothed in red. There is the blind confidence of youth, which is the blindness of young kittens, whose eyes have not yet opened on the world."—Cary Dickens. Curious Mexican Indians. Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for 300 years and have conrived to keep during all that time their national characteristics, their traditions and their individuality. If you seek them you will find them in Amstallan de los Reves, a village in the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico. They are the Amestecas. The Amestecas are perhaps the only people in the republic who have succeeded in retaining for themselves what is practically self-government. College Course in Politics. To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course designed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the college a degree from the study of the affairs of that city and the invitation has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a university course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haltiana a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Haliit, says the Haliitans were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Haliit: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days' sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complications and a greater diregard for human beings." The cities of the east. Situated in the very heart of the West Indies, where civilization exists in a high degree, Haliit alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forests have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not convicted of a crime differed from the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young man would have been sent to jail law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant. New York City alone consumes annually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. The milk is readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered." Being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter, and fermentation was soon well under way. The skin was undoubtedly none to cleanse from the vinegar day being left in it, which would act as a leaven. In the District Court of the State of lawn, in and around County, Novem- ber 1, 1890. D.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was posible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See you to name PORO is on every box, not gems without it. Prepared only by Mrs. of PORO.
