Here is a place that is attractively and appropriately fitted. The surroundings will please the most captious and yet are so homelike that the most humble may enjoy anything from a plain soda water to a palatable meal or light refreshment. There is the absence of tinsel and the place has the sturdy yet dainty bearing of a practical need in a city where there is an encroachment upon the privileges of a certain class of people.

All that is needed is the continued and growing support of the people for whom it was intended. So long as the management continues in the same high class service, the success of the enterprise will depend on the loyalty with which support is given. There is nothing lacking. An elegant fountain, chairs, tables, fans, music and utensils being of taste selection. We hope that the responsibility of success will rest with those who seek liquid and solid refreshments. To let an enterprise of this character fail will be less a reflection upon those whose money and time have been invested than upon the civic pride. It is an inspiration to younger people and a faith binder for those who think we ought to do things. To help this young man is to help the tone of all business here. Our feeling must be "All for each, each for all." GREAT EMANCIPATION EXHIBIT In Connection With the National Baptist Convention, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17-22. There will be an exhibit at Nashville, Tenn., in connection with the national Baptist convention of the special achievements of the colored people in the last fifty years. This exhibit will not in any wise be confined to the Baptists. All the states will have a special exhibit. The Negroes of Iowa should be represented in this exhibit. As representative of the association in the convention I am taking the liberty to ask all the pastors of the state in general and Mrs. J. B. Rush in particular to lock after these exhibits. Works of art, needle work, inventions—anything representing progress—should be collected and sent to the association. They will be cared for and returned to the owners. I wish to urge every pastor to do the same. In this writer, and st I wish to urge every pastor to do what he "can in this matter and attend to it without delay. T. L. Griffith. I approve this letter. S. Bates, Moderator. Selma, Ala., Aug. 10, 1913. My Dear Brother Pastor: It is the intention of the officers of the National Baptist Convention to get in touch with every Negro Baptist in the United States, and I am seeking, through you, to have a short talk with every true missionary Baptist and race loving person in your congregation by asking you to read this letter to them. It is pretty generally known by this time that the National Baptist Convention has planned to hold an exposition in connection with the next meeting of the convention, September 17 to 22, 1913, which will be in the nature of a jubilee celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the race. It is expected that many thousands of people will attend that celebration, and all others cannot attend, and those millions will rejoice with the thousands that will be there at what God has wrought for the race in these fifty years. We are desirous that all shall at least be heard from, and we are sending out a large number of addressed envelopes to be used by persons and organizations, who can't be present in person, and would be glad to have a few words from each one, and a donation in money to help forward the work of the Baptists in this and other lands. Every person who sends as much as one dollar will be given a souvenir of this, the greatest celebration ever held by Negroes of the United States, for $2.00 will receive the badge of the convention and minutes of the jubilee session. Use the enclosed envelope and it will insure prompt delivery and the souvenir and badge. It is needless to say that no Baptist organization can afford not to be represented at this forthcoming jubilee. Very truly yours, R. B. Hudson, Secretary National Baptist Convention. Attest: E. C. Morris, Pres. National Baptist Convention. OTTUMWA, IOWA. George Downey of Chicago is in Ottumwa visiting his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Downey. Blanche Bell of Chicago is in Ottumwa visiting friends.

IOWA WOKE TO NEED OF EDUCATION Pathos in Story of Man of Forty-Five Who Realized What He Had Missed in His Youth. "Can I get something for you?" The girl rested her hands on the counter and looked across at the customer. He was a middle-aged man. His hair was beginning to turn gray, his hands were work hardened, and the nails were scared and broken. His clothes were shabby and he wore a short, unkempt beard. "I want a 'rithmetic please." "What kind?" The girl turned toward the shelves. The man did not answer. "What kind of use?" I "I don't know." The girl turned back. "We have two kinds, you know," she explained, "one to the town and one for the country schools. Is the child going to school in town or in the country, and what grade will he be in?" "He—he ain't going to school." The man flushed, then looked into the eyes. What he saw there caused him to lean across the counter toward her. "I'll tell you the truth. I'm going to study it myself. I ain't got an education, and I'm going to get one. When I was a boy I didn't think learning amounted to nothing, and I wouldn't go to school what little chance I had. But when I grew up I seen what a fool I was, and how could be nothing more. I thought it was too late then, and so I took along for 20 years more. Now I know it ain't never too late and I am going on forty-five I'm going to have a education if it can be got. I don't have much time to learn, for I have to keep hustling to make a living for six children; but work or no work, I'm going to learn something. So if you'll tell me what 'rithmetic to get, and what other books I will need to start on, I'll be thankful.' Girl, with a little lump in her throat and her eyes smarting, turned back to the shelves—Youth's Companion. Not Liable. Senor Travieso Jr. of Porto Rico was visiting a few days ago in the office of his friend, Senor Rivera, who represents that island in congress. Travieso is a young lawyer and tells a story of a client in San Juan who was thrown out of the window of a trancar during an accident and so badly smashed up generally that he looked as if he had been to an Irish wake. Travieso sued the company for damages. Imagine his surprise when the verdict was rendered that no damages could be awarded, on the grounds that "the law allowed competition for hurts received by being thrown off the platform, but did not mention anything about damages when a passenger was projected through a window." Needed Rest. Harry Maynard used to be a member of the house of representatives until political misfortune overtook him. The last time he was in the national capital he was explaining in a jocular manner, that an extra secretary, the Secretary, Congress reminded him, he said, of a planola of which he had heard.

Bockdeloger A sockdoger) is a slang word, at one time often used for a knock-down blow, a settler or coup-de-grace, or generally "that which does the business" effectually and once for all. According to Mr. Lowell, the United States people among whom it originated, have always taken it to be a conscious perversion of "doxooger," standing for doxology, the finale of a Psalm, and so a triumphant close or ascription of praise. The connection is not easily traced, but it is doubtless the sense of finality about the doxology, which led to this rather irreverent origin of the term.

NEW PLAN ADOPTED Department of Agriculture Revises System of Publications More Popular and Practical; Matters for Scientists to Be Circulated Only Through the Journal of Washington.—The secretary of agriculture announced the other day the new plan of publication work of that department. There has been an independent series of bulletins and circulations in each of the 13 publishing branches, divisions and offices of the department. These have been discontinued and will be superseded by the Journal of Research for printing scientific and technical matter, and by a departmental series of bulletins, written in popular language for selected and general discussion. By this time that has resulted from the multiplicity of series of publications will be avoided, and the saving of a considerable sum will annually be effected. Under the new plan the department will discontinue the general distribution of matter so scientific or technical as to be of little or no use to the lay reader. It will supply technical information that is interested and capable of using scientific analyses, and of understanding the results of research work couched in scientific terms. A larger amount of information in popular form which the average reader can immediately apply to his own direct advantage, and therefore the usefulness and the health of the nation, will hereafter be distributed. The highly scientific matter heretofore published indiscriminately in bulletins and circulars will hereafter be published only in the newly established Journal of Research, which will be issued about once a month. It will be royal octave, of the scientific magazine type, from 75 to 100 pages, 12 numbers to constitute a volume. Such of the matter in the Journal as seems to be published in the form of reprints or separates. The Journal, for the present at least, will be limited to the publication of the results of research made by the David F. Houston, Secretary of Agri culture. various bureaus, divisions and offices, but it may be extended to include the scientific research work of the state agricultural experiment stations, in which event two editors representing these stations will be added to the editorial committee. Exclusive scientific articles, embodying a complete report of research investigations, will be considered as monographs, and may be published as supplements to the Journal. Permission will be given to specialists to publish technical reports or even monographs in journals of scientific interest. The journalical magazines specializing in highly restricted field of scientific endeavor The Journal will be distributed free to agricultural colleges, technical schools, experiment stations, libraries of large universities, and certain government depositories and institutions making suitable exchanges; also to a restricted list of scientists. Copies of the Journal will be sold to miscellaneous institutions, government printers, ent of documents, government office, and possibly an annual subscription price will be affixed, as is done with the Experiment Station Record. The Monthly Crop Reporter will no longer be published. The crop statistics will be collected as heretofore, and telegraphic and news summaries of these statistics will continue to be issued to the press. The printed Crop Reporter was discontinued because it did not bring the information into the hands of the recipients until from 10 to 17 days after the really important news had been circulated by telegraph and printed in the daily press throughout the United States and Europe, the statistical information, therefore, reaching the actual crop correspondent and through him the local products too late to be of practical service. As a partial substitute for the printed Crop Reporter, a weekly News Letter to crop correspondents will be issued in typewritten or other form. This can be prepared and put into the mails sooner than was possible with the Reporter. The Experiment Station Record, the Weather Review and North American Fauna will continue to be issued with certain modifications. The Yearbook will be restricted to articles of the magazine type, which "Then your wife didn't enjoy her trip to Niagara." "No; the minute she saw that rushing water she began to wonder if she hadn't come away from home and left the bathhauc faucet running" Hence the Delay. "Why doesn't she sue for divorce if her husband is as bad as all that?" "She's going to. But He has just bought a 1913 model car and she wants to get some use out of that first." it is believed, will add greatly to the popularity and value of the volume, of which 500,000 copies are printed and distributed annually. The series of farmers' bulletins will be continued. The object of these bulletins is to tell the people how to do important things. The bulletins will contain practical, concise and specific and constructional statements with regard to matter relating to farming, including farming, etc. Under the new plan the bulletins will be reduced in size to from 15 to 20 pages, and will deal particularly with conditions in restricted sections, rather than attempt, as heretofore, to cover the entire country. Much of the information selling for immediate circulation will be issued hereafter in the form of statements to the press instead of being held back as heretofore for weeks until a bulletin could be printed and issued. The publication of bulletins selling with foreign crop sales will be discussed in detail of this character when deemed important will be furnished to the press for the information of the public. Consideration is being given to the discontinuance of certain annual reports of bureau now required by law to be printed, with the belief that much of the matter therein contained is unnecessary, while certain portions could be more advantageously and more promptly as bellesleys of department. All executive reports of chiefs are to be reduced with the object of confining them to business reports strictly. The secretary of agriculture has designated three experts in veterinary upon meat-packing establishments operating under federal supervision at various points in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Missouri and Illinois. It is the purpose of the secretary to extend this work, and to secure for these inspections the leading authorities in the country, with the idea that such action will foster confidence of the public in the meat-packing work. These already authorized are as follows: Dr. W. T. Sedgwick, professor of bacteriology and sanitary engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, to inspect the federally inspected establishments at Boston, Worcester and Brightwood, Mass., and New Haven, Conn. Dr. V. A. Moore, professor of pathology, New York State Veterinary college, Cornell University, to inspect the conditions in the meat-packing establishments at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and New York. Dr. J. W. Connaway, Missouri Agricultural college, Columbia, Mo, to inspect and report on conditions in the meat-packing establishments of Kansas City, St. Louis, and St. Joseph, Mo, and National Stockyards, Illinois. The secretary's instructions to each of these experts reads as follows: "With a view of safe guarding public health and maintaining the highest detection in the meat inspection service of this department, it is my desire that you report directly to me fully and frankly the conditions as you find them at the various packing establishments, together with such recommendations looking to the improvement of the service as in your judgment may seem best." This new inspection of meat-packing establishments by outside experts, under temporary assignment by the government, will in no way be done or lessen the time and done by the supervision of animal industry. The idea, according to the secretary, is simply to have the inspection and regulatory work checked up by competent authorities who will report directly to the secretary. turtured by the confessed and sur- rendered "conscience money" to the federal go- vernment d ur p j g This Fund a sense money” to Sacred Subject. the federal government during the fiscal year 1913 than for many years. the “conscience fund” received during the twelve months ending June 30 totaled only $8,141.44, the lowest amount since 1901 and comparable with a hundred-year average of $4,200. The fund is the only official index to scraps, but no treasury official attempts to explain the decrease in restitution of money received from the government by fraud or error. During the last hundred years the government has received conscience contributions aggregating nearly a half million dollars, the exact figures up to June 30 last being $43,415.69. The remarkable fund was established during President Madison's administration in 1811, when the first contribution of $5 was received. The largest amount ever received in one year was $385,868 in 1902, and the greatest individual contribution of $1,689,690 was made to the collector of customs in New York more than a year ago by an unidentified person, who presumably defrauded the government of tax takers. Treasury officials surround the fund with a certain degree of sacredness. Usually the penitent sends his contribution anonymously, but if he signs his name his secret is locked in the archives of the government. It is the one place in the federal establishment where a contrite sinner may make confession and amends without the slightest danger of prosecution.

Thus writes Mr. Thomas Ellison in his "Cotton Trade of Great Britain": "Fabrics as fine as any that can be turned out at the present day by the most perfect machinery in Lancashire were produced by the nimble fingers of the Hindoo spinners, and the primitive looms of the Hindoo weavers, a thousand years before the invasion of Britain by the Romans."

"Of course I cannot help feeling just a little anxious about Mildred going away off to that cold country," said Mrs. Armour, "but I understand that the Cliuet is a very good vessel and they have very skillful officers and crew on board. "Mildred, you know, was in Smith college and Doctor Grenfel has always obtained proficiency teachers that they will teach a kindergarten class in the mission at Battle Harbor, which is attached to the big hospital Doctor Grenfel maintains there. I am sure she will enjoy the life and will get the best of care." The Cluett, it is said, will touch first at St. Anthony's, Newfoundland, where Baby Little was born, and then at Indian Harbor and Indian Harbor in Labrador. New England approached him. In tones of imperious authority she addressed the senator: "I want you to seat me over yonder in the corner by the window," she said, pointing to a vacant seat. "Certainly," responded Colonel Lewis with a courtesy and grave never equaled by the best trained head waiter. Detly through the maze of tables he conducted the lady to the seat she selected. Proudly menu, she demanded, addressing Colonel Lewis, still playing the role of head waiter, "Now what do you advise me to take?" "Well, madam, under ordinary circumstances," responded the smiling senator, "I would advise you to take; but as I am married that would cause both of us embarrassment under the law. The man who has just entered the room and is now standing at the door is the head waiter of this place, and I am certain he will demand you food. I will send him to you." Senator Lewis withdrew with several profound bows, not divulging his identity, but thoroughly enjoying the experience. The judge is dissatisfied with the present embassy, which he finds too small. "I could not invite my mother-in-law," he observed. "The president must have been aware of its size and therefore selected a childless ambassador." Being asked what he estimates it will cost him to suitably maintain the dignity of the United States, he answered: "Well, one American ambassador who has been in Europe less than a year told me that so far he has spent $128,000, and he did not seem to be making a sultur either." The judge have the talk about poor men for diplomats and about diplomatic simplicity a severe jolt in the interview, frankly declaring that he intends to conform to the customs and court of the country to which he has been sent, even to wearing a diplomatic uniform and that he purposes doing everything necessary to give Germans the right idea of the dignity, importance and greatness of America. from the jungle.

AFTER MANY YEARS Justice Sent in Her Bill, and, as Usual, It Was the Woman Justice Sent in Her Bill, and, as Usual, It Was the Woman Khiroda, at the tag end of her youth, woke up one morning to find that her lover had departed in the night, leaving her destitute. She found that, in all the thirty-eight years of her life she had not even made one person her own, nor earned the right even to the corner of a home in which to live and die. She realised that life had no pity upon her and would relax even to the corner of a house tended to down to the smallest detail, and she rolled on the floor beating its hardness with her forehead in an agony of despair. Evening came, and it grew dark. Khiroda had not the heart to tidy the room, nor to light the lamp. Her hungry child cried till it could cry no longer, and fell asleep. A knock came to the door and a man's voice called out "Khiro, Khiro." Khiroda fung open the door and rushes out at him who stood there with her broom hung. Then she convulsively clutching the child to her bosom, she went out of the house and jumped into the well. The splash brought the neighbors hurrying to the spot and the bodies were faked out. The mother was unconscious, but the child was dead. Khiroda was brought round in the hospital and was committed to the sessions by the magistrate. Mohit Datta was the sessions judge. He sent Khiroda to death. Her advocates tried their utmost to get some mitigation of the sentence, but without success. There was some reason for this severity of his attitude toward feminine abuse in his time to impose into his earlier history will disclose. Mohit in his undergraduate days lived near the house of an elderly couple with a young widowed daughter, Sasi. What little of the world Sasi used to see from behind the barrier of her lonely widowhood seemed to her like some golden land of mystery, where happiness stalked abroad. Her laughing cramped the beatages of her heart. In the intervals of her domestic duties Sasi sat at the window watching the crowd on the public road. She thought to herself how happy were the passers-by, how free were the hawkers in the comedy of life, and morning and evening saw the well groomed Mohit strutting past in the fulness of his self-concet. To her hawkers in the comedy of life she saw she saw around her. Perhaps Sasi could have cheerfully spent all her life playing with her demi-god in the heaven of her fancy had not her evil star made the demi-god smile upon her and materialize the heaven within her reach. It is needless to relate at length when Mohit's covetous glance first fell upon Sasi, how he began to write to her under the false name of Binode, when the first trembling, ill-speech reply threw him into a frenzy of the poor little wonders world was turned to topsy-topsy in the whirlwind of ecstatic surrender. Late one night Sasi left her father and mother and got into a carriage brought by Mohit, alias Blinode. When her demi-giud, with all his tinsel showing, got inside and sat close beside her, a sudden inrush of remorse bowed her to the dust. And when the carriage actually began to move she fell at his feet, crying: "For pity's sake, let me go back home." But the carriage rapidly drove away. To narrate all the episodes of Mohit's early career would grow monotonous. This will serve as a sample Today there was no one to remember the escapades of young "Bilnode." Mohit Datta was quite a reformed character. His reading of the sacred books was incessant; he even practiced austerities. A few days after passing sentence on Khriroda, Mohit happened to be in the prison garden, where he grew fresh vegetables for his own table. He heard from inside the jail the sound of high words, and entering, found Khriroda in the midst of vigorous bickering with the warder. Mohit smiled a superior smile. She would dispute, thought he, amused at his conceit, even with the doorkeeper of Hades. As he drew nearer Khriroda, with clapped hands, addressed him, saying: "Mr. Judge, for mercy's sake, tell him to give me back my ring." On inquiry he found that a ring had been hidden in the loops of Khriroda's hair, which the warden discovering had appropriated. Mohit was again amused. This desire for a baule on the steps of the prison garden, "Let me see the ring," said he to the warden, who handed it over to him. Mohit started as if it had been a piece of live coal. In the ring was set a miniature portrait on ivory of a young, beardless youth. In its gold rim was engraved the name "Binode," He raised his eyes from the ring, and for the first time looked Khrida roses. He looked at them there the fresh, fond, tear-beded countenance of 24 years ago. But, ah! what a difference. Literally.

An old she bear with her two tour-month-old cubs had snapped around the camp of a party of angels in the wayback trout region of Pike county, Pennsylvania, until the campers be mind that they would have to move out and the bear family more in to the law protected the bears against gun or trap. One evening the cubs came walking along on the edge of the camp alone, having evaded the watchers of their mother. The camp guide believed he knew enough about bear to get some fun out of the camp. There was New England rum as well as other snake bite anteaters in the camp commissary. The guide mined a quart of rum with a sufficient combination of molasses to make the combination effective, put the mixture in a big ground near where the two little bears were inspecting the possibilities of the camp. The cubs sniffed around a white, and then with some caution sampled the rum and molasses. The sample suited them so well that they instantly got busy sopping it up out of the basin by the pawful. By and by one of the cubs, evidently fearing the moving influence of the disorientation, sniffed off and swatted his mate across the sutton that roused the temper of the sutton cubs and be rose on his haunches with and be growl and fire in his eye, and a termination to pitch into his companion. But the rum and molasses had gone to his head, and over he went on the ground, in a heap. Then the cub that had started the fuss made a dab at the one on the ground and fell on top of him. The fun was on. The two tippy cub claw and scratched and pawed and clawed and tumbled around, snapping the fun was paying off a party war. The fun was paying off all the annoyance the basset had given them, when suddenly the old she bear appeared on the scene. For a few seconds she stared at the fighting cubs and then seemed to come to an understanding of the situation, for she dashed forward, grabbed the cubs each by the scaff of the neck, and ran with their teeth all but rattled. They sounded, while they whined and wigged under the chastisement, and, giving an ugly growl at the campers, were doubled up with illiteracy over the situation, she marched her inebriated offspring away from there on the double quick. Camping party remained there a week after that, but that bear family did not come near the camp again, again. Hla Oblituary. Sam Polk was editor of the Polkton Clarion. Horatius F.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS To serve and uplift the negro race by training girls and young women to be good cooks and good laundresses is the purpose of the National Training School for Women and Girls—an awkward title for one of the most interesting experiments in vocational education yet made in this country, says the Baltimore American. The primary object is not to train girls to be servants, but to train them so that if they do become servants they will be good ones, and if they become housewives in homes of their own they will be efficient there. To this end this school has subordinated the convention school to the unconventional three 's of this particular school. To quote from the school catalogue: "The aim is to make practical use of the three 's'—the Bible, the bathtub and the broom. The Bible is the text book for all students, and by daily study and teaching students will be brought to value it as the best guide for action. The positive power of the bathtub in refining and developing one's physical powers is dwelt upon; physical cleanliness is required. The broom holds third place in importance in the practical scheme. The negro home is suffering more than the lack of women who know how to make and maintain a home than anything else. This school is established to housekeeper, make and teach a student is taught how to work and must not be lacking in a disposition to do so. A clean life, a clean body and a clean home are all that the humblest member of the race needs to insure real advancement. We shall conform to the actual needs of the race regardless of present educational methods and notions." The Grand Imperial court of the Daughters of Isis closed its annual session at Indianapolis with the election of the following officers: Grand imperial 'commandress', Mrs. Cassie Melker, St. Paul, Minn.; grand imperial deputy commandress, Mrs. Prisila Smith, Baltimore, Md.; first grand imperial leutenant, Mrs. Anna D.

The next meeting of the council will be held at Pittsburgh Pa., the first week in August, 1914. The State Colored Farmers' congress met recently at Prairie View, Texas. The subject of scientific farming is one that the colored people can address themselves to with the promise of benefits no less substantial than result from similar meetings on the part of the white people. The possibilities of Texas agriculture are unlimited, and intelligent co-operation in placing the industry on a higher plane of intelligence cannot be too strongly presented to the congress, who constitute so large a proportion of the working forces on the farms of South Texas, particularly. "The Negro Yearbook" is a r. utilization prepared by Monroe N. Work, a member of the staff of Tuskegee Institute, to summarize facts concerning the negroes. It ought to have a wide circulation, for it presents material of great interest, showing the really remarkable progress made by a race just out of slavery. Fifty years ago, for instance, the government ordered that dollars' worth of church property. Now their church holdings are valued at $75,000,000. In 1867 there were 800 schools for freedmen, with 2,000 teachers and 111,000 pupils. Last year there were 1,700,000 negro children enrolled in southern common schools, and 100,000 in normal schools and colleges, with 34,000 teachers. An official statistical review of the silk production of mulberry leaves and silk coconuts in Spain from 1901 to 1910 shows that this industry is confined to 12 provinces, which yielded in the decade 246,772 metric tons of leaves and 12,674 tons of coconuts. Manila is to have a new brewery, a plant being moved in from Hong Kong.

The present rate of timber cutting in this country is three times that of the growth. T. H. Seymour of Middleboro, Vt., says his horse knows the days of the week.

The trouble with the honey bee is that it doesn't carry honey at both Negroes in New York say they will boycott an exposition which will be held in that city in October to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of their freedom, unless the governor heeds hundreds of letters protests against the work of nine negro commissioners he appointed and orders the commission to change its course. Hunter C. Haynes, a negro who helped draft the bill passed by the legislature last April, appropriating $25,000 for an industrial exposition and celebration, says the commission is planning an exposition to consist of sociological congresses, charts and Afro-American others of the colored race are demanded. Others of the colored race are demanded. The progress of the negroes of New York state be portrayed, since the bill specifically states the exposition is to be for that purpose: "Fifty years of my races: most serious history," Haynes said, "have been connected with political degradation. Now, when we plan an exposition designed to do good, this commission makes a partisan affair of its work. It will be able to give a creditable exposition in such a short time. Nothing tangible has yet been done. More than $3,000 has been spent in salaries and in carrying out impractical ideas." In appointing Madison R. Smith minister to Haiti, President Wilson broke through a custom of giving this post to a colored man. Mr. Smith is a former member of congress, having served in the Sixteenth congress as representative from the Thirteenth Missouri district. The present minister to Haiti is a colored man, the colonel of Indianapolis. This is the most important post given to colored men in the last administration which has been filled by President Wilson with a man of another race. The register of the treasury, a position which has for years been held by a colored man, is to be filled now by a full-blooded Chocktaw Indian, Gabe E. Parker of Oklahoma. The president originally appointed Patterson, a colored man, as registrar, but became apparent that he could not be confirmed Patterson asked the president to withdraw his name. The United States bureau of education, in co-operation with the trustees of the Phelps-Stokes fund, has announced that it is making a study of private and higher schools for colored youths. A report of the equipment of the different schools, their work and the educational system with which they interact, will be publisher later. The Phelps-Stokes fund is the residuary estate, amounting to about $1,000,000, bequeathed by Miss Caroline Phelps-Stokes of New York for various philanthropic purposes, among which is the education of colored boys and girls. Gifts have been made to the University of Virginia, University of Georgia and to the beaody college course, with contributions of fellowships and a research work in the field of colored education. A number of smaller sums also have been given for related purposes. Emphasizing the importance of self-help among the negroes of the south leaders in the negro Methodist Episcopal church in Alabama have laid plans whereby it is hoped to raise at least $16,000 during the summer for the Miles Memorial college of the commercial school for negroes in this state. The election of officers of the Imperial Council of Colored Mystic Shriners was the most important incident of the closing of the fifteenth annual session at Indianapolis. John H. Murphy of Baltimore, for the last eight years imperial recorder, was unanimously elected to the office of imperial potentate. Mr. Murphy is a native of Baltimore, where he conducts a large job printing establishment, and has for the last 21 years been owner and publisher of the Afro-American Ledger. He has been identified with the co-ordination and the organization and has been prominent in colored Jasone circles for 38 years. The other officers are e-cuty imperial potentate, Joseph L. Sherwood, St. Paul, Minn.; imperial chief rabban, George McKing, St. Louis, Mo.; imperial assistant rabban, Clarence E. Dunlap, Indianapolis.

You can make use of the grape fruit skins in the following manner if the fruit is fresh and perfect. Remove it in four sections or quarters and cut it into strips about an inch wide. Weigh the peel; then weigh an equal quantity of sugar. Cover the peel with fresh cold water and let stand over a pan. Weigh the peel in this same water until it is very tender, easily pierced with a broom straw. Best to use a wide, rather shallow, pan or preserve kettle, so as not to crowd the peel, and allow it to cook uniformly and without breaking. When tender take from the fire and let stand until morning. Drain off the liquid, add more water if not sufficient to cover the peel, and allow it to be half that of sugar. Cook the sugar and water to a syrup but not too thick; add the peel and simmer slowly until it is nearly absorbed and peel comparatively clear. Let it get nearly cold, then pick out the peel, roll in granulated sugar and place on waxed paper to dry. Keep in wide-mouthed glass jars. If peel gets too hard you can use a mixture of sugar and water to try your desire for use in a little syrup until it softens, and again roll in sugar, or use at once. The syrup can also be used to sweeten and flavor. TRY THIS APPLE MINT JELLY No More Delicious Combination, for Those Who Like Flavor, Can Be Served With Mutton. Apple juice forms the basis of a great number of our conserves and jellies, and here is an idea that will be new and pleasing to those who dearly love their mutton served with mint and apple jelly, as it should be. Cut apples out without paring; simply cut out bruises and imperfect spots. Barely cover with cold water, put a cover over the kettle and let them simmer until soft throughout; then turn into cheese cloth and drain. Measure a quart of this juice and three cups of sugar. Set the sugar in the stove oven, spread on a shallow dish. Place the juice on to boll with the fresh, tender leaves from a bunch of mint. Cook 20 minutes at a low heat and boll with the hot sugar and boil until the syrup will joll when tested on a cold saucer. If you wish the pretty green color or the mint jelly served you at the tearoom table, use a little, as it must be a dainty tint. Pour into glasses same as other jelly. A pretty fancy is to use tint tumbers or glasses such as the imported bar-le-duce in. One of these can be served to each guest or member of the family. English. Pattles.

Bring to the boiling point and let simmer ten minutes. Season with one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth teaspoonful of cayenne, and one-eighth teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. Beat one egg slightly, dilute with a little water and add to hot mixture. Stir until blended, and fill patty cases.—Woman's Home Companion. Before Mayonnaise. In the days before the art of mayonnaise dressing was known to every good cook the English had a very fair substitute for it which they used with their salads. It was called "an artful mixture", and doubled as much in volume as the sauce. The modern cook uses in making mayonnaise. It consisted of mustard, oil and vinegar, "artfully" mixed to a smooth dressing. At her discretion the cook might add the hard-boiled yolks of new-lad eggs, if before adding them she carefully rubbed them to a powder, and then poured them into vague, suggests a dressing with claims of attention to the lover of good salads. Delicious Vegetable Boast One-half cup bolt boiled corn, either canned or cut from the cob, one-half cup of baked beans mashed to a pulp one-half cup boiled rice, one-half cup strained stewed tomatoes, half a tea spoonful of minced onion, two table spoons melted butter, one-quarter cup sweet milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix together and add enough stale bread crumbs to make a stiff dough, roll, and bake in greased pan. Serve with tomato sauce. Roasted Tomatoes Peel the tomatoes as directed, cut a piece off the top and remove a little of the pulp. Put a piece of butter or a few drops of oil in each one, dust with salt and pepper, replace the top, sprinkle with fine crumbs moistened with butter, salt and pepper. Place each one on a slice of bread, buttered; and put a little piece of butter or tiny square of fat bacon on top of each. Bake for about fifteen minutes, or until they are tender. Dainty Dessert. A dalynty dessert can be made with a fig paste basis. Put a pound of dried figs through a meat grinder, add a quart of warm water, and let it simmer on the back of the stove for two hours. Then remove and place in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. When ready for use, put in a glass and pile high with chopped marshmallows mixed with whipped cream. Garnish with whole walnut meats. Nut Muffins. Mix and quarters 1 1/2 cups of bread flour into three-quarters teaspoon salt, one tablespoon sugar and two tablespoons baking powder. Beat the eggs until light. Add three-quarters cup of milk and stir it into the flour mixture. Beat well and add one-ball cup of broken walnut nutmeat, then stir in three tablespoons melted butter. Fill buttered muffins pans two-thirds full and bake in a hot oven 15 or 20 minutes. BASEBALL "Quigley looks like a joke umpire," says Fred Clarke. Vic Saler has made himself a factor with the willow. The work of Tommy Leach is the wonder of the season. King Cole expects to be back in the big show next season. Cactus Cravath, Philadelphia, is approaching a home-run record. Umpire Bill Dineen says a player is never at his best until after thirty. Congo is the new name of Arnold Hauser, the Cardinal's tiny infielder. Art Shafer is being picked up to do a lot of batting in the coming world's series. Baltimore expects to get something close to a record for Third Baseman Maisel. Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson are running neck and neck for the slugging honors. Manager McGraw declares the Senators will beat out the Naps in the American league. Old Otto Hess is way down in the averages and is losing his grip as a major leaguer. The New York Highlanders are trying to land Gilhooley, the bear cat of the Montreal outfield. Bill Klem says Chief Wilson of the Pirates is one of the squares ball players in the game. Many major league teams have sent scouts to Kewanee to look over a young twirler named House. Manager George Stallings believes he has, the two best finds of the season in Maranville and Myers. Ivy Wingo, the Cardinals' backstop, in a recent game stole second, third and home after being walked. Roy Mitchell, the young St. Louis twirler, has been relieved but three times in 20 games for the Brownies. Bill Brennan, the umpire, is a former football star. He used to play fullback on a Minnesota college team. Pitcher Yingling of the Dodgers is some clouter. National league figures show that he hit for .378 in 21 games. Fletcher of the Giants is hitting as he did in 1911. He batted over .300 that year, and is batting at that clip now. --- George Burns, the Giants' young outfielder, is making the critics sit up and take notice of his sensational work. . . . Bill Dahleen feels he has been very lucky in getting hold of Pitcher Brown of the Birmingham team for whom $7,000 was paid. Larry Lajole has been beamed four times this season by the New York pitchers. Larry was hit recently twice in one day. Jack Graney is the steadiest player of the big leagues. His consistent work day after day makes him indispensable to the Naps. Manager Stallings believes that in Fred Smith he has a future star of brilliance. Smith has been filling in at third base for the Braves. It is reported that Artie Hofman will try to come back. Reports emanating from New York state that he will join the Highlanders in 1914. Tom Chivington, president of the American association, is being grilled all over the country for his decision forbidding players to slide into first. Lavan, the little shortstop of the Browns and former Michigan university star, is a brilliant fielder and is constantly showing improvement at --- Griffith is leading the fight against paying high prices for ball players, according to an exchange, but it is recalled he was willing to pay almost any old price for the release for Chick Gandil. --- Joe Jackson is a veritable demon with the stick on his home grounds. It is on the road that he skimpa, whereas Ty Cobb does his best hitting when the Tigers are away from Detroit. Jack Knight seems to have at last made good with the Highlanders. The man the fans abused roundly on the hilltop a season or so back is putting up a spectacular exhibition on first for Chance and rapping the ball hard. . . . The Birmingham club has made a lot of money selling players this year. Pitcher Elmer Brown has been sold to the Brooklyn club for $7,000. Outfielder Walker has been sold to St. Louis for $4,000 and Pitcher Manning will bring $2,500 from the same club. The release of Cy Seymour still leaves Boston with the oldest outfielders in the major leagues. Veterans John Titus, Bris Lord and Otis Clymer are prancing like youngsters in the garden. ST LOUIS ```markdown ``` Pitcher Leverenz of St. Louis The 1913 season uncovered seven new pitchers. The Naps and Red Sox are the only teams which failed to profit by 1913's bounty. The seven finds are Joe Boehling and Joe Engel, Washington; Leslie Bush, Athletics; Reb. Russell, Sox; George Daus, Tigers; Leverenz Brown, and Ray Keating, Highlanders. Everett Booe, who was released by the Pittsburgh team to the St. Paul club some weeks ago, has been playing grand ball in the American as sociation. . . . Manager Frank Chance of the Highland denies emphatically the report he would resign as leader of the Yankees at the close of the press . . . Jimmy Callahan would do well to study Griffin's plan in handling his star pitcher. Instead of working Walter Johnson to death, Griff gives him plenty of rest between games. Many basebil scribes believe the Giants will give the hitters a tough fight for the 'world's championship. Many go as far as saying the McGrawites will beat the Philadelphians. The remarkable improvement of Steve O'Neill behind the bat is the talk of the Nap camp. Last year this catcher was figured an ivory head, but he has surprised them all. Jack Doyle, the old-time player, who had a brief career on President Lynch's umple staff, has been named as one of the umpires to accompany the Giants and White Sox on their globe-gliding tour. The Tigers may not win the penant this season, but they have ac complished something that other American league teams were unable to do. They defeated the Athletics three times in two days.

Volgi Volt, the English amateur athletic association mills and four-wheel chassis, will, it is announced, shortly return to England from Australia and continue his athlete career there. BELIEVE IN SIGNS SAYS LOT IS HARD Turk Superstitious Regarding Triumph of Christianity. Column of Black Marble or Basalt in Mosque, Shows Sympathy When Christian Enters, by Sweating or Wearing. Many superstitious beliefs are held by Mohammedans about the final triumph of Christianity over Mohammedanism. Such beliefs are very widespread throughout the Turkish empire as well as in Asia Minor. In Damascus tourists are shown a little tower, part of a great mosque which was destroyed by fire many years ago, in which there is believed by the Turks to be a copy of the gospel. They believe that when the tower is opened and the holy hook revealed Christianity will once more become the dominant feature of the tower, which could not be entered without the help of a ladder and which is said to be hermetically sealed, is guarded day and night by Turkish soldiers. At Jerusalem also the famous golden gate is built up so that none can pass it, because there is a belief that through it a Christian prince will enter and proclaim the trumph of the Christian religion. At Constantinople, when visitors to the mosque of St. Sophia were admitted to the church—which is not permitted now, as the building is said to be unsafe—they were shown a little fast locked door through which, it is said, a priest who was in the act of dispensing the sacred elements with him, on the news being brought to him that the Turks had succeeded in entering the city. There he is said to remain to this day, sitting foot in the doorway to power, when he will come forth and finish the sacred rite. At Balkh II, a place close to Constantinople, there is a miraculous healing fountain, to which every year on a certain day crowds of people suffering from horrible diseases resort for healing, either coming themselves or being brought by their friends. A great fair is held at the same time, at which thousands of people who do not require a cure gather to enjoy themselves with the games and shows, feasting and making merry. There is in the neighborhood both a Greek and an Armenian hospital and also an Armenian church, as well as a Greek church in which the healing fountain. The story is to the effect that a priest was in the act of grilling some fish for his dinner when word was brought to him that the Turks had captured Constantinople. The priest, instantly preparing to flee, tossed the fish from his gridiron into the fountain, with the command to remain there till the Turks were driven from the city. The fish, faithful to this charge, may be seen in the fountain to this day, with the marks of the gridiron on one side—for they were only half done when they were returned to the water. “On one of the two visits I paid to Balki-l,” writes Lady Ramsay in the Sunday School Times, “I certainly saw fish in the fountain, but the light was too dim for me to make out whether there were marks of the gridiron on them or not. “On the day of healing the water is drawn from the fountain by attendant priests and into two large casks, or which the people jake it or other vessels brought by themselves and pour it over their sores—heads, arms or legs, as the case may be. Often the water runs back into the casks as they bend over them, but they and the rest of the crowd go on dipping and drinking and laying all the same. "It is a disgusting sight, and the church is filled with steam from their wet clothes and bodies and stifling with evil edors. It is not only Christians who seek a cure in this Christian church—Turks, and I believe Jews also, frequent it. Of course, it is only the ignorant of any race who occupies the site of Thyattra, one of the seven churches of Asia, there is a mosque that was originally a church in Byzantine times. A minaret has been added to it to complete its transformation into a mosque. On the point of the minaret we noticed that there was a metal ornament in the form of a cross inclosed in a circle, the imch—the Mormon median priest—so much a thing came to be—there. "He replied that the mosque having 'been originally a Christian church. It was necessary to have the Christian symbol to protect the minaret, which had been in danger of falling. Inside the building was a column of black marble or basalt standing by itself, and the imam informed us that whenever a Christian entered the place the column showed its sympathy by sweating of weeping or at that moment, and that it was going at that moment and, rubbing it with his hand, asked me to observe that his palm was wet! It was. I can't deny it. Nor do I pretend to explain it." In 1933. "And so they have decided to get a divorce. What a pity." What can they do?

Complains Because Their Brothers Wad Actresses and Rich American Girls, While They Are Limited to Professional Men. A well-known, but unnamed countess, writing in a London publication, burndess her mind as follows: Social tendencies of today make it a handicap for a girl to be the daughter of a peer—unless he is enormously rich. What do you see? Most of our young men of today they are not choosing their wives from the variety stage or from musical comedy, are going to America for them. But does one ever hear of an actor marrying a girl of title? Does one ever hear of an American gentleman marrying an English girl of title? I know of only one instance. She is a girl of title, and had the misfortune to lose her American husband a few years after marriage. Occasionally a self-made English man shows a tendency to marry into the aristocracy, but it frequently happens in such cases that the wooer is not acceptable to the young lady at whom he sets his cap. He is generally very much older, perhaps old enough to be a gentleman, but his best years in making his "pile." The English girl accepts the rivalry of the American girl with the best grace possible. The American certainly brings money with her, and money has always been a recognized weapon in the fight for marriage. But she is, to put it quite frankly, just a little resentful of these stage marriages. Of course we have always had peers marrying actresses since actresses first made their appearance on the boards in the time of Charles II. There was the marriage of the twelfth Lord Derby to Eliza Farren, from whom Lord Wilton is descended. Later on the first earl of Craven, to whom he married, married Louis Brunton, the great-grand-mother of the present Lord Craven. But in all these instances the actress was famous in her profession quite apart from her marriage to a peer. Nowadays, however, it is not always absolutely necessary to be a first-rate or even a second-rate actress to catch an old title. No wonder our girls, my own among them, are willing that the surest way to matrimony is to go on the stage. What a commotion there would be if one morning it were announced that Lady Rose — the daughter of the earl of — were engaged to Mr. Brown, the third-rate actor? Yet why, for if her brother put a coronet on the head of Miss Brown, the third-rate actress, nobody is shocked? It will come to this, that our girls, many of them, will have to make up their minds to accept middle-class professional men. Already a fair number of them are married to doctors, solicitors, architects and parsons. At one time they were supposed upon as a dreadful misalliance for the daughter of an earl to wed a solicitor or a doctor. Officers of the army and navy, barristers and clergymen were regarded as of a higher social rank, but even with the clergy, at least those of the lower grade, there was a time when they were held to be suitably matched if they paired off with the lady's. Because our young men of title will have their own way and marry out of their order, their sisters will be compelled to look lower for their own husbands. Many of my peacock friends have found no difficulty in marrying their daughters in their own station of life, but I know other cases where whole families of five, six or seven girls are "on the shelf." Some turn to nursing, some take up philanthropic work, some are ardent suffragists. But if they quite frank about it they confess that they would sooner be wives. Associations of Leadenhall Street. Leadenhall street, which the city fathers of London are widening, is popularly associated with poultry, but possesses many literary and political theories. On the South side, near the River Thames, John Company's East India house, the two austere Mills and their spiritual antithesis, Charles Lamb were once clerks. In this street Gibbon's great-greatfather won the wealth that gave the historian leisure for his task, and here Peter Mottexu the translator of "Don Quixote," kept a tea-shop. Nos. 156 and 157 stand partly on the site where the little midshipman in "Dombey and Son" used to hang out. It was at the old Almshouse in Leadenhall street that General Monk dined on theateful day he finally broke with parliament; and at a vanished hostelry called the King's Head the Jacobites plotted for the restoration of the Old Pretender. Strange Effect. "Brother Steadman, you mustn't mind my telling you that I didn't think your sermon last Sunday was anywhere near up to your mark. It seemed kind o' thin and wishy-wishy like. But think, Sister Millap, what a hot day it was! The heads of my sermon just wilted and couldn't hold themselves up, and my ideas all melted and ran together." Between the Two. "I was so glad when my musical neighbor on one side *gw* rid of his baby grand." "I suppose so." "But I have no relief from that, for my neighbor on the other side has a grand baby." Her Measure.

Any child old enough to go to school has intelligence sufficient to be taught the absolute necessity of cleanliness. Civilization and refinement are based on oral righteousness—the use of the tooth brush. Every child should brush its teeth and rinse the mouth after eating by holding water in the mouth and forcing it through the teeth. If one will take time to explain, take time to reason, in a calm, reasonable way to point out the advantages of oral cleanliness, children will respond. A prominent physician said a few days ago that he had observed infections of the glands about the mouth more frequently in Negro than other children. This was not said in a reflecting nor unkind spirit. There is a reason. School children should be taught again the necessity of visiting the toilet at regular periods. The bowels should be regularly and naturally evacuated. This should be done as home before the hustle and bustle of school work begins. Many ailments of later life, especially among girls, date from negligence of this important matter. It takes more than commands and a mere telling; sit down and reason with a child. Do not depend upon frightening a child—no one is justified in lying and surely never to a child. Keep the mouth clean; it is germs, not candy, that cause can lie. Instruct children to care for themselves. Time must and will be taken somewhere along the route and it is better to take the time before the doctor comes and bad habits are firmly established. It is pitiable to see young growing children taking up the cathartic habit, suffering from headache and other illnesses that a few moments a day would prevent. CLINTON, IOWA.
