The 13th annual session of the National Negro Business Men's League which convened at the Institutional Church, Chicago; Hll. Wednesday morning and Friday August 21st to 23rd and most enthusiastic meeting the league ever held. The attendance was large and interest was keener than ever before. On Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, N. Geo. C. Hall President of the Chicago Negro Business League was delivered in Napoleon's after a reception at the National League to order, prayer by Rev. E. J. Fisher, song America. Address of Welcome on be half of the Chicago Negro Business League was delivered in Napoleon's after a reception at the National Bank Ass'n. President of the Banker's Ass'n. President of the Agricultural Ass'n. Then Harry T. Pratt of Baltimore, Md. responded to the national press also. President Tenn. and then the regular Program as printed heretofore was carried out. There were many very interesting and instructive papers read and addresses delivered. It was, indeed, a revolutional attack that many of these men had to overcome in their various localities on account of small means and their colour. Of course, we cannot give a brief synopsis of each man that was presented, but a synopsis of a few of the leading men who appeared upon the program. Mr. E. H. Green of Fayette, Miss. delivered an address, subject of which was "Making a farm pay". Mr. Green was a man who owned $40 acres of land. The man wanted to sell and gave him the first chance. At that time cotton was only six cents per pound. He bought 180 acres in cash and a pair of mules. He then bought 280 acres of land two mules and two yoke of oxen and by the hard work of himself and wife he made 180 acres of land. He bought 180 acres of land and began raising horses, mules, hogs and sheep until today he has 1000 acres of land. 11 families in attendance, upon his purchase, have been employed. He sold last year 14 mules, $175.00 per head and 400 hogs. He is a married man with three children. This man said many other helpful words which I am unable to reproduce. Another interesting character was Mr. Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., who addressed the people. His subject was, "What I have accomplished for you." He came to this town 12 years ago with a capital of only $15. He worked as a coachman, then as janitor of the Y. M. C. A. leaving that to become the first real estate business. His this latter job and remained only one month. Returning to town he entered as a workman a new shoe factory at $2.00 per week. He continued in this employ until he received $18.00 per week. He now owns 22 large frame houses and large frame houses with 650 suits. He also has a lease of ten years in the U. S. Government for a building which he rents for Post Office, Public Library and has a monthly income of $250,000.00 all made within the last 10 years. He once served Farriee of Chicago called to deliver an address on "What I have accomplished as a Real Estate Dealer," which showed great development in Real Estate in Chicago. Mr. Andrew J. Offord of Chicago delivered an address subject "Managing a Motor Car Machine Shop" which was very interesting. Mr. J. Alexander McKenzie of Port Antoine, Jamaica told his 20 years experience in the job for the United States Fruit Company. Mrs. J. H. P. Coleman of Washington, D. C. read a very interesting paper on "The Manufacture of Hair Preparations and condemned fake preparations." Mr. J. Andrew of Gigar Manufacture.... He gave a history of the development his factor from nothing until today he has the largest Cigar Manufacture in the United States owned by colored people. Mr. W. F. Bledsoe of Marshall, Tex. spoke very interestingly upon the arrival of the widest D. H. Jenkins of Roxbury, Mass. "The Heavy Moving Business" was the subject of J. J. Johnson of Grand Rapids, Mich., as did Walter Jameson of Indianapolis, Ind., and W. H. Bell of Evansville, Ind., Joseph W. H. Bell of Ohio, Ohio, enthusiastically of his "Ten years in the Regalia Business"). Hunter C. Haynes of New York told the League about his experience in the Mail Order Business. Anthony P. Overton of Chicago, Ill., spoke on "The largest retailing Enterprise in the United States." Conducting a Retail and Wholesale Coal Business was a very interesting experience by Samuel Welch of Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. E. W. Chenault, Lexington, KY, one of the wealthiest men of that town, spoke on the subject of the Undertaking and Livery Business." Thursday evening session was perhaps [the largest attended session during the entire meeting. Thousands of people could not get glamis. An opportunity for Negro Business Men by Rt. Rev. I. B. Scott, Bishop for Africa, Monrovl Liberia. Dr Scott made a very fine plea for the many business opportunities offered the businessmen. A small capital would become successful business men. I onl wish it were possible to publish all of this helpful address. The next address was the climax of the evening. Julius C. W. H. H. H. & Company of Chicago, Ill, and who also is a milti-millionaire, who last --- WINESS week, upon his 50th birthday gave educational institutes into charitable and educational institutions to them Dr. B. T. Washington received $25,000,00 to distribute among institu- tional colleges and schools other than Tuskegee to assist them in bet- tle and expenditures that Dr. Washington may see fit.

Resolutions unanimously adopted by the National Negro Press Association (affiliated with the National Negro Business League) in convention held at Chicago, August 20-22, 1912. Whereas, the National Negro Press Association, in fourth annual meeting assembled recognizes with pride the contributions of national, religious and commercial lines and realizing that this advancement is due largely to the influence and power of the Press, we hereby set forth the following resolutions: we continue disregard for law and order in certain sections of our country where lynchings and other forms of lawlessness occur and believe that only through the maintenance and enforcement of law can our rights as American citizens be secured and respected; We also put ourselves on record as being opposed to segregation, disfranchisement and discrimination in every form that race color or previous condition of servitude; Resolved that the National Negro Press Association express its appreciation to the American Press Association for the cooperation of our services to the Negro Press of the country through the Afro-American Page, edited by Mr. N. Barnett Dodson of that city, and that we heartily endorse said Afro-American page and urge editors of race papers to use Resolved, that we favor a uniform rate for advertisement based on an accurate statement of circulation, and that we should not be blinded. Resolved, that we print the news without fear or favor, giving a true reflex of existing conditions without concealing evil or overlooking the construct. Resolved, that we urge greater advertisement is the life of business and we urge greater reciprocity between men and racial journals. John L. Thompson, Ia., Chairman Cotton Beverage, Inc. OMAHA. NEB.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "Have you a man to take charge of our farm?" We wish a young woman to teach domestic science in our city school. "We need skilled mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting and blacksmithing." "Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town." These are some of the many calls that assail the principal of Tuskegee Institute at all seasons of the year. It is reasonably so. The change of the trend is among adults black; the increase of wealth, and courage to venture into business among Negroes; the higher and higher esteem into which the skilled Negro workmen are rising all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some thirty old of these industries are taught. There are millinery, dressmaking, ladies tailoring, upholstering and mattress-making, domestic science, laundering and gymnasies for girls; there are shoemaking, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cubinetmaking, tainmithing, printing, dressmaking, mechanical and architectural steam engineering for boys; and there are dairying, swine raising, truck farming, poultry raising, stock raising, forticulture, landscape gardening, veterinary science, fruit growing, and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agricultural trades for both boys and girls. This again is the modern trend of things. Therefore let no one halt at the idea of young women entering the agricultural trades. Moreover, experience and experiments at Tuskegee Institute are demonstrating that the young women just want a job and able with the machinery of the farm, with the science of feeds in the poultry yard, with packing and handling fruit in the orchard as she is with grammatical syntax in the classroom, and just as quick and aggressive as is her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto restricted these trades. There have been several failures of co-operative effort to do business of one sort and another in New York in the past few years, but that should not deter our men and women from such efforts. Failures are, in a measure, the necessary step to success, as it is by experience that we learn what is good and what is bad method. As we have few opportunities to learn business methods by growing up with business we have to get the experience of working in business be through the sort ordeal of failure after failure. It is said that Peter Cooper failed at a dozen things before he found the sign of success. Nearly every day we meet some man of the race who, having made a venture by himself, or in partnerships and failed has no disposition to try again. He thus loses the capital he lost and the experience he gained in the losing of it. There is nothing but death in discouragement of any sort. Three men, five men, ten men, with a hundred dollars of most any sort, and while letting one of them manage it, earn an independent wage while the business grows. Plenty of them are beginning to do so here in New York and in other parts of the country. Try it, you!—New York Age. Greenville, S. C., is a late addition to the list of southern cities that have passed segregation ordinances. The Greenville progress can be only temporary. The eighth biennial convention of the National Association of Colored Women, held at Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Va., was pronounced the largest and one of the best in the history of the organization. The convention began last week with a delegation of over four hundred women from various parts of the United States. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., was the presiding genius, and among many others seated on the platform with her were: Mrs. Booker T. Washington, vice-president-at-large; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Mrs. Lucy Thurman, honorary presidents; Mrs. Josephine B. Bruce, acting chairman of the auditing committee; Mrs. Rita R. Faucher, sponding secretary, and the various state presidents. Mrs. M. E. Steward of Louisville and Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley of St. Louis recorded the doings. Mrs. Eva T. Jenifer of Chicago was at her post in charge of the ways and means committee, owing to the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Katherine D. Tilman of California. Mrs. Mary Hardy, president of the Mite Missionary society, which is national in scope, were seated on the platform. We gather from the reports of 1911 the total valuation of property owned by negroes and who paid taxes thereon for the current year in the following states is as follows: Arkansas $20,500,000 Georgia $28,551,427 North Carolina $28,600,000 Virginia $27,000,000 Texas $80,000,000 Oklahoma $62,000,000 The total value of all the property owned by the negroes in the United States will cover more than $600,000. In a suit for separation, from her husband and Mrs. George H. Primrose allows that the former minister man is worth $760,000. He is remembered as a member of the firm of Primrose and West, who traveled over the length and breadth of this country with minstrels made up entirely of negro talent. His fortune has been accumulated largely by this means. Since the advent of short skirts and low-necked dresses no poet has had the courage to write about woman's lovely neck and ankles. Among the problems that the National Federation of Women's Clubs, soon to meet in Hampton, should take up for discussion and make a feature of Federation interest, is the work of domestic service as it affects our women. There are so many sides to the domestic service problem that it is necessary to indicate the special issue of the disclosing. The first phase is of course, so work of the wife in the home, and the work of the daughters as helpmates of the mother and as a preparation against the time when they as wives will have homes of their own. This is the highest call to domestic service. It is the foundation of the American state. It is susceptible of infinite discussion. Every woman has ideas of home education for domestic service and what should be done to help them. It beit the best people are coming to the sensible conclusion that the daughter, however wealthy, should have her education rounded out by a course in a domestic science school, like that of Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, and such as is included in the courses of our own Hampton, Tuskegee and other institutes. The Woman's Federation could do a good service by emphasizing the importance of domestic service education, the life of the negro which depends so much upon the wife and mother, is of vital moment. But the phase of domestic service as an occupation, as a livelihood, is also of great moment, as so many of our women, both young and old, have to take to it as a matter of necessity if not of choice. To all such the best domestic science education is of the greatest benefit and assures the best positions and wages. There are plenty of indications that negro women are not being attracted to domestic service and that they are not giving the satisfaction the service calls for. The reason for this condition could be considered and discussed to advantage by the Woman's Federation. --- A real race leader should be a useful man, able to arouse his people to become interested in his fellow men in making conditions better and in uplifting the human race, to see that each and every man enjoys the rights and privileges and blessings, as guaranteed by the state and national governments. We have been troubled too much by the lesser leaders men that were placed in the ledestest or and "sold out" for selfish interests. They have regarded self aggrandizement higher than general good. Such leaders ought to be relegated to the rear and place given to men of honor intelligence, integrity and character. It is a fact that the younger generation is no longer standing by the false leaders and the press and people are up in arms against him. With such a spirit of change that will work for the greatest good of the race. Let us keep up the fight for true leadership—Illinois Chronicle. At the recent commencement exercises at Wil伯force the following honorary degrees were awarded: Doctor of Laws-James C. Napler, register of the treasury; Bishop J. Albert Johnson and Bishop Levi J.

From a Pullman man to one of the biggest property owners in Brockton, Mass., in five years is the jump which Watt Terry, a negro, has made. When papers passed conveying to Terry the famous Checkerton and Cheston apartments, valued at $150,000, he became the owner of $500,000 worth of land. Terry had has a meteorite career, and where he once made a week he is now making hundreds. Coming to Massachusetts from his home in Virginia when a young man, he took a position as coachman for a well-known physician. Then he went to the Y. M. C. A. as assistant janitor and became interested in the evening school. He enrolled and studied diligently for a long time. Finally he met and was a Pullman porter for a while; then he returned to Brockton and went to work in a shoe factory, starting at $7 a week. He is superintendent of the Messiah Baptist Sunday school and is active in church work. There is no courage in the display of sorrow; but there is often real heroism in the control of it. In a recent editorial convention a minister was present and offered the following toast: "To save an editor from starvation, take his paper and pay for it promptly; to save him from despair, send him every item you can get hold of; to save him from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper liberally; to save him from profanity, write your correspondence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in as soon as possible; to save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only ones who never make mistakes." The colored Y. M. C. A. building for Chicago has been started, the cornerstone having been laid. The building is to cost $15,000, one-third of which was given by Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. N. W. Harris, wealthy white business men of Chicago. Prof. Kelly Miller is being strongly urged for the presidency of Howard university. Also the names of Roland P. Faulkner, assistant director of the census, and H. B. F.

Adoption of the New Idea Will Bring an increase in the Efficiency, Bay Probs—No More Aching Feel. Washington.—"An army crawls on its belly, but it has to use its legs to do it." This seemingly paradoxical adaptation of the dictum of a famous general, officers of the United States army are today giving forcible expression to the vital importance of the matter of the soldiers' shoes. Napoleon himself once said that he made war not with the arms but with the legs of his soldiers, in expressing his identical view of the same question. Another grand commander, Marshal Bugead, declared that the two greatest problems of war are that will not injure horses and shoes that will not injure men. Bearing in mind these vigorous expressions from the mouths of men who were great generals when the United States was hardly born, officers of the American army have been wrestling with the shoe problem for a century. Next to the matter of food itself, it has been long recognized as of supreme importance, though this recognition has not always resulted in proportionate attention being paid to the problem. After many a weary and bitter struggle, during which investigating board succeeded investigating board, and shoe after shoe was tried on the long suffering shoe without much relief of his miseries, an army board has now produced a shoe which is generally pronounced as the most satisfactory yet devised for the United States army, and superior so far as is known to that in use in any other army. This board has presented its report after four years of experiment, and has been enabled to recommend a shoe which all its members feel sure is the best shoe the soldier could wear. This report is now in the hands of the war department, and will soon be taken up for final consideration by General Wood, chief of staff, and his military advisers. Should the report be accepted, as is generally anticipated, and the shoe recommended made the official shoe of the army, the American soldier will have a new experience in foot comfort, it is predicted. Indeed it is believed that the leaven of shoe reform spread among the soldier, and the shoe recommended influence upon the foot comfort of the general for, the defects of the present service shoe in the army are but slight indeed compared to those of the shoes worn by millions of Americans in civil life. TALE OF POSTAGE STAMPS. It is not often that Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock contributes a detective story to contemporaneous literature, but he did the other day when he forwarded to congress "The Trail of the Three Trunks; or, Who Got the Postage Stamps"? The story is in one volume and suitable for light summer reading. It is a string tale of the reasons why Edgar Allen, Jr., postmaster at Richmond, Va., should be relieved from accounting for $17,788 worth of two-cent stamps lost from his postoffice in March, 1910. The story is a thriller, and carries the reader over seven or eight states. Detectives disguised as baggage smashers and otherwise figure frequently. The late reviewer about the strange attempt of Edward Fay and Richard Harris to "get away with the swag" in three trunks, and the trail of the trunks, which led to the discovery of the culprits; the return of part of the body and prison cells for the burglars. The postmaster is technically responsible for the partial loss. It has been the custom of Congress to make good the losses of bonds in such SLEEP PRODUCING BULLET? Alexander F. Humphrey of Pittsburgh is endeavoring to impress the war department with the destruability of equipping the United States army with his new sleep producing bullet. According to the claims of the jacket manufacturer, the adaptive bullet is coated with a preparation of morphine which renders it painless after it has once entered a wound. Instantaneous pain at the moment of impact and then sweet dreamless sleep is promised for the enemy so fortunate as to stop one of the new projectiles. The war department it is stated that no officers or men of the army have yet volunteered their bodies for experiment as targets for Humphrey's soporific pellets. LAST OF THE OLD SANTEE. Another relic of the famous old wooden navy of the United States passed into private hands, probably to be reduced to junk, when the navy department accepted a bid of G. Hittner, of $3,610 for the Santee. She was an old sailoring laid, laid down in 1820, and was for nearly half a century on duty at the naval academy, where many admirals and high officers were stationed. The navy were confined on her when she was the midshipmen's brikin ship. "Does your wife ever object when you find it necessary to stay downtown late at night?" "Oh, no; she knows that I never stay away from home in the evening unless it is a matter of business that keeps me. Does your wife make a fuss when you get home late?" "Always. I congratulate you." "Thanks, old man. Yes. I think I'm to blame. My wife's life is a mighty sensible little woman, even if she isn't as beautiful as some who BIG SHOOT FOR CAMP PERRY Other Nations to Send Teams to Make It an International Event. Army officials say the international rifle match team at Camp Perry, O, next summer will be the greatest shooting tournament in the history of the world. It was announced that practically every civilized and some of the semi-civilized nations of the world have indicated their purpose to send a team to the match. The prospects are that there will be enough sharp shooters at Camp Perry to send a team to the match. The recent victory of the American team at Buenos Ayres, and in Stockholm in the Olympic games, has convinced the military authorities of other nations that the markmen of this country lead all others. The foreign military authorities say they are anxious to participate in the Camp Perry event and order become better acquainted with the American system of developing markmen. They are at a loss to understand how the American riflemen have been able to use peep signals in rapid firing. Military authorities of other nations have not considered peep sights suitable for service conditions. They did not think that rapid firing could be done with any degree of accuracy by the use of peep sights. But in the Pan-American match at Buenos Ayres, and the Olympic shoot at Stockholm, the American exploded by the American teams. The American marksmen, according to official records, received at the department here, not only made more hits, but fired more rapidly. The United States minister at Buenos Ayres in his latest report to the state department, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the American team. As the result of the team's remarkable record and its sportsmanlike conduct, the minister reports that Argentine, Brazilian, Chilean, and other decided to send teams to the Camp Perry international match. Reports of the same character come from the Olympic matches, which indicate that all of the nations of the Old World will be represented at the event. HYDROPHOBIA DEATH8 LESSEN Returns to the marine hospital service indicate that there were 98 deaths out of 4,625 human hydrophobia patients treated with serum in the United States last year. The number of rabid animals killed and examined was 3,393. New York and New Jersey each had 138 from hydrophobia and Pennsylvania 10. Every state except Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Vermont had hydrophobia infected areas, New York having 39, New Jersey 68, Ohio 91 and Pennsylvania 52. The total for all the states is 1,381, as against 534 infected localities in 1908. The figures show a spread of hydrophobia to the Pacific coast states, which were apparently entirely free from the disease at the time of the government's investigation in 1908. There was a decrease in the distribution in the lower areas there has been a decrease of 12 per cent. in human deaths. BEWARE OF "FRIED FROZEN EQG." The department of agriculture has issued a solemn warning to the American public to beware of "the fried frozen egg" and the "boiled dried egg." These dread species of hen fruit, according to the department flourish around localities where fresh eggs are hard to obtain. The department insists that the traffic in these unlouw eggs has increased greatly in the past few years. The warring states that there is no particular harm to a frying egg by boiling egg if the same is done under the proper sanitary conditions and before the egg obtains a to venerable age. It warns the public further that such eggs appear in cakes and ples, where their inferiority may be successfully concealed. ASKS SENATE TO NAME HER. Believing in the omnipotence of the United States senate, Miss Salila Rundles of Madison, Ala., has asked it to send her a real nice name, because she doesn't care for the one she had. Here is her letter: "Dear Sirs: I will ask a favor of your tity to send me a real nice name, which I and I don't like the name and decided to give me a nice name. I am a young lady of 17 years of age. Please do your best to send me a real nice name, the cost so let me hear from you by mail. Yours respect. Miss Salila Rundles" The senate regrets that it cannot oblige Miss Rundles. HOME SCHOOL8 FAVORED The navy department does not think much of "Naval Preparatory Schools." The regulations just issued governing the admission of candidates of the naval academy, just made public by the navy department, recommend that all candidates study at home schools near their homes, rather than at one of the "cramming" preparatory schools. DONATES NAVAL LIBRARY. The valuable naval library of the late Commander Theodore Mason, U. S. N., has been donated to the United States Naval academy by Mrs. Dulin James. She is a sister of the naval officer. might be mentioned. Give me an amitable, reasonable woman rather than a pretty one who can't listen to reason. "It isn't the amiability or the good sense of your wife that causes me to offer my congratulations." "No? What then?" "Your ability as a liar." It might be well for every hopeful graduate to remember that the man behind the hoe or the girl behind the mop can always earn a living. MISS MORGAN'S VIEWS ON ECONOMIC PROBLEMS Miss Mina Morgan, daughter of America's greatest financier, does not financier, does not believe any woman can be happy with the Mrs. Morris Morgan keeps reasonably busy. she was prominent in promoting the recent ball for the Vacation Savings fund for working girls. she explained some of her knowledge of conditions and views on econom- MARY ic problems in talking about it. "We all know," said Miss Morgan, "that the girl who makes from five to six dollars a week cannot possibly live on her own resources in New York and save money. I know that no young woman here can be really self supporting on less than eight dollars a week, but a great many young women are less courageous they are partially supported by their families. When any employer tells you that he pays his girls five or six dollars a week, and that he employs only young women who live at home, you can be sure that that employer who does not pay a living wage is practically subsidized by the families of his employees. "The Vacation Savings fund was organized primarily to help the poorly paid working girl to save money for a vacation, but we hope ultimately to convince employers that a girl who works only fifty weeks is of greater value than one who works 52 weeks. You must know that the greater number of girls making five and six dollars a week do not receive paid vacations, and those that do have little chance of enjoying them, because their two weeks' wages are mortgaged in advance to their families. The Vacation Savings fund was organized to help girls earn small wages to put aside sums ranging from five to twenty-five cents a week for the purpose of two two weeks vacation in the country. "The girls do not wish to feel that they were in any way the recipients of charity, and there is nothing that I detest more than charity myself. Charity solves no social problems—in fact, it retards their solution. So they conceive the idea of giving a ball." Miss Morgan said that she was strongly in favor of trades unions, but was not interested in suffrage. "I believe there are many things more immediately necessary for women," but "buffrage is certain to come." REV. A. B. IRWIN IN ONE PULP 25 YEARS The Presbyterian congregation in Highland, Kan., gave a reception a few nights ago to the pastor, Rev. A. B. Irwin, and Mrs. Irwin, upon the conclusion of his year of continuous ministry in the same church. PETER H. When Dr. Irwin came to Highland twenty-five years ago there was neither a Presbyterian church nor paronage. The congregation worshiped in the chapel of an old college building. Dr. Duncan Brown, now of St. Joseph, who preceded him, served as both pastor and president of Highland college. Dr. Irwin is a graduate of Koxn college and of the Yale Divinity学院. His first work was as principal of the Emerson institute in Mobile, Ala, then maintained by the American Missionary association as a normal school for freedmen. He entered the home mission field in Nebraska, where he served four churches at one time, driving 50 miles each week to do so. Afterwards he preached for six years in the Presbyterian church at Beatrice, Neb., from which place he went to Highland. Extract From Australian Diary About now it got too hot for anything and I took a well earned swim in a secluded creek, amid shoals of fish, large and small, who apparently resented my intrusion from the way they came and stared at me. I found on emerging from the water that a host of blue brown ants had taken possession of my clothes, and when they were shaken out they revenged themselves by biting my bare feet in a way which was exceedingly painful. There are thousands of ants everywhere. Some of the anthills are three feet high and six feet across—but except for a shallow nymph the time they were shaken up is blue and no noticeable. But if a bull ant or a bull ant or a greenhead (an ant about 1½ inches long with a green head) bites you, it is not to be forgotten because they take quite a big piece out. Then there are the white ants (not really ants, but termites), which cheerfully eat the insides out of the beams of the wooden houses, and recently have been eating the sheet lead on the top of the Sydney museum. The city fathers thought this was going a little too far, so now the ants are present inside the museum and are being led as a warning to all who would allow their appetites to run away with them.—The Gentlewoman. Great Writer's Queen Pets Robert Browning adopted queer pets. His pet owl was well known to his visitors, also his pet gese, which followed him about like dogs, and upon which, having suffered much from the abuse of his dog, he named the names of "Edinburgh" and "terly." As a boy he had a monkey and an eagle in the garden at Camberwell, and later in his life his pockets were often full of uncanny "portable creatures" to which he had taken a fancy—frogs, teads, lizards and eaves ONCE A MILLIONAIRE; CARRIES DINNER PAIL Edward Corrigan, former king of the american turf, has come back to former king has come back to City after thirty years to start life over again. With what little he could save from the wreck of his fortune after the final crash three years ago, the former millionaire has leased acre of land, up a land, crusher and settled down to do- er thirty years, to start life over again. With what little he could save from the wreck of his fortune after the final crash three years ago, the former millionaire has leased a few acres of land, set up a stone coucher and set-tled down to do vote himself to leveling limestone cliffs, the same sort of work he did as a railroad contractor before taking up the racing game. A few years ago Corrigan was the most spectacular figure on the American turf. His thirty years in the racing game were spent in continuous fighting. In 1891 he forced the Coney Island Jockey club to allow his horse, Huron, to start in the Futurity at Sheepshead Bay after the club had ruled that there was a defect in the entry. The horse came in second, but the judges wilfully overlooked him, so that no part of the $60,000 stake went to Corrigan. From that time on New York tracks were closed against Corrigan. Nothing daunted, he took a stable of horses to England. He was not welcomed, and it was said that it was only through the efforts of Mark Hanna and others that he was granted privileges at newmuseum. The scene of Corrigan's longest and most famous fight was the Hawthorne track in Chicago, which he managed in opposition to John Condon's Harlem track. Condon sent word that rather than compromise he would sink the Harlem track to the bottom of Lake Michigan. "Tell him," said Corrigan in reply, "that I'll put Hawthorne on top of it to keep it down." Corrigan eventually moved to the coast. He established the beautiful ingleside course on a site overlooking the Pacific. The authorities closed its gates. In New Orleans and Missouri his hard luck continued. He awoke one morning to find himself penniless, bankrupt. The former "master of Hawthorne" now goes out to his little quarry every morning carrying a dinner pail. MRS.

AFTER WAKE AND FUNERAL "CORPSE" COMES HOME. All That Was Mortal of John Malone Was Lailed to Rest. But There Were Two Malones; Both Had Crooked Fingers. Chicago.—A few days ago, at Mount Olivet cemetery, all that was mortal of John Malone was laid to rest. Beh hind the hearse was laid to William Malone, mourning for his brother, and also John Malone, who was paying his last respect to a cousin, and other friends. Malone had died at the Oak Forest infirmary. The county officials had certified that Malone, who had lived in South Deering, was dead, his residents had identified the body, and his resident was closed. The day after the funeral John Malone walked into South Deering and met Con and John O'Keefe, both of whom had been pall bearers. "Hello, boys," said Malone. "How goes it?" "It's a ghost!" yelled Con O'Keefe, shrinking back from the outretched hand. "Sure it is," chattered John, "but I put Malone. See the crooked finger on his right hand. I saw that hand in the coffin." "Ghost! You're crazy!" sturdily retorted Malone. "I've been sick, but I'm no ghost. What's the matter with you fellowes?" Then when things were sifted down there came to light an unusual instance of resemblance, of a mistake by county officials, and a mistake by close relatives in identifying the body of a total stranger as that of their It appears that there were two John Malone as patients at the county hospital. One was from Michigan, the other from South Deering. The Chicago Malone grew better and told his friends he would soon leave the hospital. The Michigan Malone grew worse. Finally one of the Malones was dicharged as cured and the other was taken to Oak Forest. On March 20 relatives of John Malone of South Deering received word that he had died at the infirmary. They protested at first that he had left the county hospital. The county hospital records and those of the infirmary at the hospital were consulted. They believed that John Malone of South Deering had been removed from the hospital' the infirmary and had died there. William Malone, a brother, and John Malone, a cousin, went to Gak Forest. They looked the body over. It looked like John Malone, their relentless friend, who withheld the ravages of disease for months. On the right hand of the body was a crooked finger. John Malone had such a finger. They identified the body. After that came the funeral and the subsequent reappearance of John Malone in South Deering, looking for a job. But Then it's a Forty-Pound Bird All the Way From the Klondike. New York.—Many things have come to light in the Klondike, especially gold nuggets, but one of the latest is an owl named Bobo, which has been presented to the Central park manager by a family which returned from Europe to this art. Bobo weighs forty pounds, is the biggest owl ever seen by the menagerie officials and has an appetite, according to Donald Burns, the bird keeper, that is great as a young lion's. Bob has a cage to himself and is looked after by Burns. The persons who brought him from the Klondike mentioned only his weight and size as being of heric proportions, but did not mention his appetite. The other day when Burns sought the mannequin for his forty-pound charge "BILL" says the head keeper, who has charge of dolling out the provisions, said: "What do you want with such a big piece of meat, Donald?" Then Burns told him it was for the cowl. "Why, he吃 as much meat at one sitting as a lion," said Snyder. Bobo's hoots sound like a foghorn on an ocean liner. Fewer Second Marriage Fewer Second Marriages. London—The detailed vital statistics for 1910 show that both the birth and the death rate in England and Wales continue to decline, and that marriages are relatively fewer and less generally speaking, contracted in life than they used to be. Another interesting fact brought out is that the proportion of persons who make second venture in matrimony is steadily declining. Thus while in the years 1876-80 the number of widowers in 1,100 bridegrooms was 1890, in 1910 the figures had fallen to 62. The ratio of widows fell from 98 to 62. Drops Dead After Trade New Bright, Pa.—After making a horse trade by telephone and sending a boy for the horse, William Winters, gifted fifty-two, a former chief of police of this place, fell dead of apoplexy at his shoe repair shop in Third avenue. The deal for the horse made with John W. Brenner of Belver Falls, and when the boy returned with it Winters was dead. Mother Saves Her Boy Warren, Pa.-Elmer, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright, climbed an almost fatal electric clock at the Wright home here. The walls in the cellar, and groping in the dark, grasped the end of a live wire from the lighting circuit. He was unable to let go and the wire burned in the bone, rendering him unconscious. He was saved by his mother, with rare forethought, laid down planks and on that, released laid. EX-PRIEST POISONED? LEFT FORTUNE IN JEWELS VAL- UED A1 $75,000.

The police, who knew that he was interested in various commercial affairs, expressed the opinion that he had committed suicide by poison on account of financial difficulties, though they were unable to explain why the clergyman's housekeeper and her husband, who also had drunk some of the stuff in the bottle, hadicide theory has been promptly abandoned in view of the present astonishing discovery of the jewelry. The lawyer and police officials who were charged with examining the contents of the house found, besides diamond pins, studs and links, a dressing room safe containing a miniature golconda. There were dozens of pill boxes, numbered neatly and labeled diamonds. "Rubies" and "sapphires". When the boxes were opened they yielded up contents in accordance with the description, until the astonished searchers, who had accompanied Dr. Klebe's brother, had collected some hundreds of fine gems, including 230 sapphires, 218 diamonds, 164 turquoises and 50 rubies. In addition to these there was a magnificent gold communion chalice containing 100 rubies, gold emeralds and amethysts. The choice is estimated to be worth $15,000. It is believed that Dr. Liebe's passion for gems was due to his travels in the east. He went to India as a Catholic missionary thirty years ago. Thenhe he went to China and Japan. He returned some years ago and abandoned Catholicism to become a Protestant. Lately he had been talking of getting married. Apart from his love of gems Dr. Liebe was a lifelong lifelong life. He did not seem to be at all accentric. Other things found were bank books with considerable amounts and a collection of old porcelain. RAPID GROWTH OF RADISH Indian Neck Vegetable Develops so Fast that It Bursts and Causes Branford, Conn—W. A. Bryant's red dresses grew so fast that one burst open the other morning with a noise that made the guests of the Montowese house think one of the aerplanes from the Branford River hangars had struck the roof. H. J. Horme was so startled in his adjacent cottage that he jumped out of bed, thinking his fast motor boat had exploded. He landed with both bare feet on a large sheet of fipaper and rolled heels over head down the stairs and over the descending lawn into Long Island land, up to his neck, before he could tear loose.

An Italian melone de grase seed supplied by Artist Fred W. Kost of the Lotes club, New York, and planted by Electrical Editor Charles W. Price on his farm, Gray-Lee, spread its vines so fiercely and speedily that a wild gray squirrel was enmeshed in one of the blossoms. The animal was cued by the Coniferologist John J. Oso who saw its bushy tail waving in the garden hedge. He mistook it for a signal to come ashore and get his crab bait. LAKE LEAKS; ALL EAT FISH Town of Newstead, Ky., Ha Cheap Beast Water, Water Disappare. Hopkinsville, Ky. - Residents of Newestad, near here have forfeited all right to complain about the high cost of living since a 25-acre lake in the vicinity lost its waters through subterranean loss, leaving sands of fish underwater in the bed. Caravans of wagons are making pilgrimages to the scene of piscatorial bounty, bearing away stores of fish. Hue Odd Diverse Plea Trenton, N.

Ada EXCELLENT WITH COLD MEAT Chow-Ghow One of the Least Expensive and Most Mildular of the Appetizers On cold meat days chow-cow comes in very handy, taking the place of a salad or more expensive appetizer. Enough of the pickle, too, can be made for one dollar to last all winter. Chop one peck of green tomatoes, one-half peck of ripe tomatoes, six onions, three small heads of cabbage, three small green peppers and red peppers, and one peck of each kind removed. Sprinkle with salt and put in a bag coarse enough for the liquid to drain through. Hang the bag over a wide tin pan and let the draining go on all night. In the morning put the drained vegetables into a porcelain-lined kettle with two pounds of brown sugar, one-half teacup of grated horseradish, and one teaspoonful each of ground black pepper, mustard, whole white mustard and good with clove oil, sugar and boll till clear. Seal hot in jars with tightly fitting covers. THAT LUNCH OUT OF DOORS A Little Forethought Will Do Much to Add to the Enrolment of Prepare everything you want chilled at your picnic lunch the night before. Do your sandwiches in oilled paper and pack in a box. Put your salad dressing in a can. Wet your prepared salad material very slightly with dressing in paraffine butter cases and put your hard boiled eggs in their shell in paper pails. Wrap in a box, ease, or pail, separately in several thicknesses of newspaper and set on ice till morning. Also lay in several newspapers. When packing the baskets in the morning have one exclusively for chilled foods. Lay half the chilled papers in the bottom of this basket. Pack all your chilled packages in as closely as possible and cover with the remainder of the papers. Prepare at the picnic grounds set in a steady place. Prepared in this way food will keep perfectly cold for at least six hours. Your egg pails make useful water pails. Frozen Peach Prailine. Put the yolks of five eggs into a granite saucepan. Beat them until light and foamy, then add three tablespoonfuls of thick sugar sirup and cook over the water only until the mixture coats the back of the spoon; then add the yolks of the water until it is light. Add two tablespoonfuls of praline powder, one pint of cream that has been beaten solid and just enough thick peach sirup to flavor (a very little will be required), turn it into a ring mold with a water light cover and bury in ice and rock salt for four hours. Serve unmolded with the center filled with illicated peaches that have been dusted with powdered sugar Everlast Yeast. A yeast that is always ready, in hot weather or cold; in town or on the farm, may be bad, if at each baking is saved a small quantity of the bread uponge, before any salt has been used; so this must be added about one-half the same amount of sugar for a preservative. I have used the same yeast in this way for two and one-half years now, and it is as good as ever. Freezing does not harm. No salt should be used in this way, it means to withhold life, try it with a little flour and water, and it will be all right. This makes the finest possible bread—Home Department, National Magazine. Peanut Balad To two quarts of peanuts, ground fine, add one cup of milk, two eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of flour, one teaspoonful of dry mustard and a little pepper. Cook about three minutes from stove and add a cup of vinegar. This makes excellent sandwiches for plenies or parties. Marshmallow Meringue. One-fourth pound marshmallows, quartered; one cup English walnuts, broken; one pint whipped cream; milk and set in ice box for three hours; serve with syrup, made as follows: One cup sugar, three-fourths cup water; boil until slightly thick, add one cup fruit jam, raspberry preferred; have syrup cold when served. A delicious dessert. Elah a la Bechamel. Any kind of fish may be used. I used haliad. Lay it in a saucepan containing cold water, salt and season with a little parsley, one onion, a few slices of carrot and thyme. Make a sauce of one tablespoonful of butter, one of flour, one pint of water in which the fish was cooked and a few drops of lemon juice. Serve hot. Waldorf Potatoes Pare, wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them round and round in curls in the same manner in which apples are pared, having the pieces as long as possible. Lay in cold water an hour. Wipe the potato skin and tender. Drain on soft paper, sprinkle with salt. Serve as a garnish for the fish. Coffee Cake. Take the yolks of two eggs and save the whites for frosting, take one one-half cup butter or part lard, one half-cup white sugar, one half-molasses, one half-cup strong coffee, one teaspoon vanilla extract, a cup pumpkin soda. Two cups or a little more of flour makes a three-layer cake. Peach Preserves. Pare, stone and quarter ripe free-stone peaches. To six pounds of peaches allow three pounds of brown sugar. Put the sugar over the peaches and let them stand over night. Next morning place them in a preserving kettle and boll for two hours. Keep it well skimmed. PUTTING HIM ON TO SECRET Dear Old Lady Meant Well, but She Wanted You to Think of Him The Times "The other day," said the dentist, "I was called out of town to extract an aching tooth for old Mrs. Exmouth. Mrs. Exmouth, you must know, is ninety-four years old and has lived in a remote little suburb for the last eight years. Her head was been what could be called a progressive woman. Well, I pulled out the old lady's tooth, which was very loose, without the least trouble to either of us and she was perfectly delighted to be rid of it and very much surprised that I hadn't hurt her more. She said I must be the finest dentist in the country and I would have some day acquire world-wide fame. "Westerday," pursued the dentist, "I had a long letter from her. She writes that she has just received a letter from her granddaughter, who lives in England, telling of an operation that had been performed on one of her teeth and that was made a certain gas which Mrs. Ermouth assures me must be a very recent discovery because she never heard of it before. Listen to what she writes," and the dentist read from the page of a neatly written letter: "I am going to tell you the name of this gas, because, think that any dentist who can pull that gas down deserves to be rewarded by being told about this marvelous discovery and I would like you to be the first in this country to use it. Perhaps you can send over to England and get some at once. It is called Nitrus Oxid Gas. Now you know the secret and I am glad to be able to tell you and I can share from its use. Quite a serious matter to Mrs. Ermouth—this laughing gas," concluded the dentist facetiously. Foundation of EczemaSorry Littoral, its ancient ruins have survived repeated conquests and pillages of Jerusalem by Assyrian, Persian, and Roman, except certain massive foundations, walls and passages, which may or may not be genuine relics of the first and most precious structure. To the skill and organization of these Tyrian masona many enthusiastic estuhlas possessed a foundation of their order, a claim which in a certain sense may perhaps not be utterly unenable. Undoubtedly the Phoenicians were very skillful, and did much to extend the knowledge and practice of operative masony into Crete, the islands of the Aegean, Greece, Sicily, Italy, France and Spain. Castain, her mighty offshore boat, was a strong strength and so wonderfully provided with fortified hammers and docks, aqueducts, sally-ports and salient towers and parapets, that even when Rome had apparently humbled her in the dust and deprived her of every engine of war, she was still able to hold her bestegers at bay for two long years, until her gold-bound treasure, added to gold their swords to her enemies—"Nobility of the Trades."

Facts About Rainfall After a drought continuing for five weeks, rain fell on Saturday last generally throughout the country, and the opportunity was thus afforded of examining samples of rain with a view of ascertaining whether the long arid interval had affected its composition in any way. Clean samples of the rain were to the roof of the Lancee offices about an hour after the shower had begun were submitted to partial analysis with interesting results. A feature of the analysis was an unusual amount of ammonia in the water. This, of course, had been washed out of the air. The quantity found was equal to $25 grain of ammonia to a gallon of the rain water. This is an unusual volume for volume in rain in normal times of rainfall—London Lancee Higher Cost of Living George E. Roberta, director of the mint, prophesies higher cost of living in the future. He points out the fact that the population increased 21 per cent. during the past ten years while the farm land area increased only 4.2 per cent. The difficulty is not so much that the farm land area increased as it is the fact that the farm population is decreasing. This means less intensive cultivation, whereas we should have more thorough tilling of the soil. Farming is not as difficult as should become smaller and afford sustenance to more people, in turn, will produce more. If we solve the problem of keeping people in the country we shall have taken a long step toward the reduction of the cost of living—People's Popular Monthly. Proving an Allbl. If culture remains confined within the splendidly bound volumes of the new library that has just been bought by a rich man, it will not be the fault of the rich man's secretary. He is doing everything he can to let it loose. "I am cutting the leaves in all the books," he said. "The chances are that nobody belonging to the family will ever look inside these books, but the boss has friends who may go snooping around through the library sometimes. In case they do, they want them to gain the impression that literature is neglected in this house, so I am making sure that they will at least find the leaves out." Benefit of Contrast "I'll have to insist on that man's taking a vacation," said the employer. "Why, he isn't working very hard." "That's it. After he has gone away from home and played baseball and struggled with motor boats and carried water for pliances and fought mosquitoes for awhile, maybe ordinary work will seem interesting and easy." Not Always Workable. Bix-I always go by the motto: "If you'd have a thing done well, do it yourself." Dix-Yes, but suppose you want a haircut! WAY OF THE MODERN WOMAN Not a Great Deal of Bhrinking Violet About Mushrooms but Bhe "Gets Her" She was a quietly dressed woman of middle age, and she learned the name of the junior partner from the ground glass door. The young man looked at her rather doubtfully, trying to have her for, for from her. She might have felt a new of almost everybody sufficiently dead. She spoke with great earnestness. "Yes, I am Mrs. Jones, and I came to see you about something very interesting, for you see my husband before he died made a great invention, and I have it here with me and I will tell you about it." There was no break in her speech, but somehow her modest shopping bag had opened and a small tin box and a soiled cloth had come out. "—now this remarkable shoe polish is only a quarter of a dollar the box, and we call it The Polish of a Gentleman, and it goes on with truly manic rapidity, like this, and you see—" "Marvelous rapidity" was mild for what happened. While the young man was grasping the idea that the lady was not an old friend of his mother's she had gone down on her knees, smeared the olly stuff over his right shoe and fallen to rubbing his foot. She was stung by the stenographer at the side desk put on a burst of speed that made her machine talk like a gaiting gun. The clerk, coming in to report, stopped, looked and backed out stammering. The young man did his best to interrupt. The senior partner came in to find the modestly dressed woman folding a dollar bill the other day over a bill and the junior member of the firm the color of Cardinal Farley's new hat stowing shoe polish into his desk and trying to get his undaubed left foot out of the waste basket unobserved. "It really is good blacking," the young man said after he had told the story to show how little he really cared. "And I suppose she's worked office in the building the same way." Odd Value of a Passport "Until you go broke in a foreign country you never can realize just what a useful tool a 'passport is'." said the returned traveler. "It not only enables you to get into a country, it also helps you to get out, sometimes in a most unexpected way. Everybody abroad thinks well of a passport, but nobody sets quite so high a value on it as a pawnbroker. Owing to a delayed remittance I had to cancel my trip to Paris. The article I offered for security was worth many times the loan requested, but he refused an advance on account of satisfactory references. My temporary address in Paris and my permanent address in New York were not sufficient guarantee of my honesty. Just as the case assumed a desperate complexion the broker suggested a solution of the difficulty. "Have you a passport?" he asked. "I had at the hotel, he said. 'If that looks all right I'll go with you have the money.' "Up to that time my passport had been a useless piece of luggage; then I blessed the foresight that had bidden me secure it." No Time to Spell An old-fashioned woman who sometimes complains of fads in the public schools has an opera bag and a letter marked "Exhibits Nos. 1 and 2," which she shows without comment to defenders of the system. The opera bag is made of soft, burnt leather, elaborately monogrammed, and beringed with a fur Aunt. I had expected to get up to see you during the holidays, but was disspoilted. This is my second year in high school and am literally rushed to death. The opera bag I am sending you for a birthday present I made myself. I made it at school. We devote an hour every day to artistic work of this kind. It is extremely interesting. I hope you will find the bag useful as well as ornamental. On our a day," sighed the old-fashioned person, "to make opera bags and sometimes handcraft, and then a second year high school pupil produced an ill-spelled letter like that." In Navalo Land. When a Navajo dies he is buried on the desert, usually at the scene of some feat of valor or of the chase in which he attained fame. His last resting place is encircled by stones, and around him are placed the carcasses of seven horses slain in his honor, with all of their silver trappings, so that he shall have mounts to help him along to road to the happy hunting grounds. These shrieves of the dead are sacred, and any desecration of them is swiftly punished. Notwithstanding all warnings a youth with the desert party could not resist the temptation to help himself to a silver bridle lying beside one of the desert graves. For days before that, the party had seen no signs of the Indians, yet within twenty minutes a dozen Navazas appeared compelled the desecrator of the burial place to take back the headstall. The Indians, evidently superstitious, would not touch it themselves. Then they demanded food, and departed. Overland Monthly. Should Be Done.

Not Black Hand Letter, as Nurse Feared, But Instructions to His Brother Not to Pay the Medical Man. In a New York hospital a cadaverous Spanish, with the aid of oxygen and a pump, was staving off the final moment of exit. Rallying temporarily, he stretched out a hand and clutched at the arm of the nurse, helping her to lean over and put her ear to his mouth. "My doctor go?" "Yes; he's gone." "Shut 'e door." "Lock him, he begged—it was the custom to humor the dying. He beckoned her closer and pulled her down to him again. "You make promise." "No indeed; what is it?" "Get paper, pencil, and—what you call—envelope." Shielding his writing with one hand he managed to scrawl a single line on the note paper and to address the message, but before loosening his hold on the paper he called her to him once more. "Now you promise for me again! You promise you not show this to doctor, not show it tonight, not to anybody? Just mail it—you promise?" She nodded. He slipped the sheet from the envelope once more, grinning with what and every appearance of flendish exultation. "That fix him," he muttered. "That fix him." An hour later, when the doctor returned, he found the nurse crying. "He died fifteen minutes ago, and I don't know what to do. I ought to mail this, but I'm afraid it's some Black Hand business or something. You be willing to look it over and see if it's all right to send? You read Spanish. She handed him the letter. He glanced at the one single line and shook his head. "Is it a Black Hand message?" she whispered. "No," he said plaintively, "It's to his brother. He just writes, 'Don't pay the doctor.'"—Lippincott's. Cause of Age and Death Everything points, it appears to me, to the essential correctness of the view which holds age and death to be the result of the greatly increased differentiation of larger organisms. Is there then any probability that we shall some time find that in the higher animals, as in the lower ones, death need not occur? Evidently not. If death is the price of differentiation, then the price of death must be paid. To prevent a higher organism from undergoing death would at the same time prevent him from becoming a higher organism. And the cell which remains in the embryonic condition—the cell of the germ glands—is even now as immortal as the cell of the infusorian. Death, as Minot says, is the price we pay for our complex life. Age and death are inherent in the self, are inherent in the differentiation that makes life worth living—Prof. H. S. Jennings in the Popular Science Monthly. Dangerous Exercise. Every person who has received gymnasium training is aware of the fact that an exercise which calls for painful effort on the part of the beginner is often performed almost without any conscious effort at all after a certain amount of training has been received. Again it is perfectly strong that brute strength alone does not make a gymnasium, and that a simple exercise may offer great difficulty to a muscular and well developed individual who has not been trained in the gymnasium. The explanation for this is made plain in an article by Prof. du Bois Reymond in Die Uschmau, who points out that one of essential exercises for training is not so much to build up muscle as to train nerves and nerve groups to work in proper unison and co-ordination. The Process Finding one of her pupils in peculiar distress over his lesson, a teacher in a primary school inquired as to the trouble. The boy stated this arduous problem: "If Richard has three red apples and she has four, how many have they both got together?" "Is that so very hard?" she asked. "Yes, ma'am." "But, surely," the teacher continued, "you know already that three and four make seven. There can be no trouble about that." "Know that," ma'am," was the path to response. "But the process! It's the process that wears me out!"—Lupincotts. Value of Buildings In France Value of buildings in the capital value of the buildings in France show that in the fiscal year 1909-10 there were, outside of public buildings, monuments, etc., 9,475,786 houses and 137,676 workshops and factories in the republic. The rental value of these structures is given in the returns as $708,723,431. The rental value in the department is $232,922,284, precisely one-third of the total rental value for the whole of France. Saving Old Trava. When a japaned tray becomes old and chipped, give it two coats of white paint and one of enamel, the bottom as well as the top. Stand it on the edge to dry after each coat. It will be found as good as new, as well as very pretty. The enamel is easily renewed.

Each Has Some of His Own for Household Work, but Allowance Is Reduced If His Savings Fall Below Mark. William Jones is a thrifty father with a plan of his own for teaching his four children the value of money. These children are 15, 11, 8 and 6 years old; the two oldest are girls, and the two youngest are boys. Father Jones is head of a branch of this house which he calls the "thrift department." To teach a child to save, Jones believes, it is essential to let him handle a little money of his own, and always to have some in his possession. "I believe," says Jones, "that the boy who can go through a store full of attractiveness, spend a small amount thoughtfully, come back with some loose change in his pocket is on the road to thrift." In carry out his duties as general manager of the thrift department Jones pays each child a certain amount for work done about the house. The 8-year-old boy earns twenty-five cents a week in this way. He is expected to work for ten hours in any way he pleases, but to have at least ten cents every Saturday night for the small metal "home bank" which is kept for him. If he brings only eight cents, the next week his allowance is cut to twenty-three cents, and fifteen cents of this is put into the bank by General Manager Jones before the boy can touch it. The amount he has hundred dollars is in a savings bank to the credit of the oldest girl; the other girl has $40. The 8-year-old boy has been "broke" a number of times, but he is learning that it doesn't pay to spend it all. Jones says that his 15-year-old daughter, has become a careful and successful shopper, that she always has money for whatever she wants, that so far as she is concerned his duty as overseer is about ended. I've never heard of a thrift plan that seemed more reasonable, interesting and likely to succeed. I believe it would do a lot to hold a family to trust, certainly, in Jones's case, it is going to ease the responsibilities of the future. World's Largest Index On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under the golden dome of the state house, is one of the largest indexes in the world. In fact, the Russian public index is the only one known to be larger. More than nine million names, giving births, marriages and deaths in Massachusetts from 1843, make a complete record, showing not only where babies were born, but also statistics which are vital in making up calculations. Before this time the records were kept in the different towns, but now they are all concentrated in the state house in Boston. In a relatively small space all these records are preserved, and as births, marriages and deaths come in, different forms of cards are used, and a great variety of names, Grecian, Greek and English, are recorded in a gleam with good old New England names that have been on the records since the landing of the Mayflower—"Afairs at Washington," Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine.

They vary as the landscape in its extreme of storm-terror and warm, autumn haze. And we vary with them, a very mirror of responsive emotion to all that surrounds us. The queet, then, is to learn so to live that we are content to make our way along a path we see but dimly, yet do so having no fear. Our faith must never waver in the security of the way; and each day's journey must find us enriched by what has been revealed—Thomas Tapper. Horseshoe Nails in South Africa. The demand for horseshoe nails is fairly good throughout South Africa. As the railway the railroad truck wagon, with five to eight pairs of bullocks, is still very much in evidence. Horses, mules and donkeys are used in more populated centers for drawing heavy loads. In the country horses are used chiefly for riding and driving. As the roads are usually quite rough all these animals require frequent shoeing. New University for Blam. The king of Siam has approved the scheme of establishing a "University of Bangkok."

PLEA POR SELF-RELIANCE Charles G. Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lead a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life first, to give always in proportion as your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them.

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 Lindon. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III. as it does the Father of His Country. Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this messotint he come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Insist on Yellow Flour. Charles Christadoro, an expert on flour and grains, 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 in stast 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 so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from $5 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 A Chance for a Gargain.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our own medicine has been used that the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease when it comes in contact with persons coming in contact with them.
