The presentation of this beautiful pin is a tangible expression of the popularity and esteem with which she is held by her chapter. Under her administration the chapter has shown a marked improvement along all lines, and already many of her members have expressed a desire to have her continue in office at least another term. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS It has indeed been so very long since we have been chronicling our observations that we are reluctant to begin again. Then, too, we are so far behind with the towns and cities that we visited it makes the news still more difficult to remember. However, we will do the best that we can. Chicago was our next stop. Here we are in the second largest city in the United States and the fourth largest city in the world. Here is the home of every civilized nationality in the world. Here every dialect and language is spoken, every religious creed also. Here lives 62,000 Negroes, scattered in this great city with her millions of people, some in every pro- fession, in every branch of industry, and even in the skilled trades, also as clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers and teachers. In the professions those whose names stand out prominent are Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Dr. J. Edward Hall; in the legal profession Atty Edward Morris, S. Lang Williams, Fred L. Barnett, Edward Wright and Dennison. In military honors, Col. John H. Marshall and Mal. Buckner and Mal. Jackson, and distinguished theologians we would suggest the name of Dr. D. P. Roberts, Dr. A. Larry, Dr. E. Lewis, Mr. Reeves, P. E. Reeves, Mr. Reeves and Rev. McCallis and Dr. Fisher. As financiers, Mr. Binga and Wm. Neighbors. I was informed that we had 284 employees in the United States postoffice, twenty in the court house, forty in the city government and about thirty different churches. Most of them are in a conquest to pay the old indebtedness or to make further improvements, so you can see that most all of our churches are still in a strained condition financially.

Timothy Reeves, presiding elder of the Chicago district of the A. M. E. church, is another Iowa man who is made good.

He had just completed his beautiful new home. Edward Martin is working; the same shop. Rev. Stanbary is the pastor for the A. M. E. church here.

George Mixter, another collaborator of the museum, also visited Siberia, where he collected certain mammals from the region about Lake Balkal, among them bear and seal. Of particular interest was a trip made by Dr. Alex Hrdlicka to Siberia and Mongolia, to study the physical anthropology of the natives. His particular object was a search for data concerning the race which is supposed to have popped America. He draws the conclusion that there exist in several places in Siberia, Mongolia and Tibet numerous remains of an ancient population, which was physically identical with and in all probability gave rise to the American Indian. The hunting trip carried on Paul J. Rainey, a professor of Indian studies, in which institution was represented by Edmund Heller, was terminated in December, 1911, and since then the collection has been received at the National museum. Allothed the trip was a remarkably successful one; nearly 4,000 mammals, 1,000 reptiles, and 400 birds were obtained. The astrophysical observatory of the Smithsonian Institution again sent an expedition to Bassour, Algeria, for the continuation of the observations relative to the heat of the sun, an investigation on which the observatory has been working for the past seven years, with observing stations on Mount Wilson, Cal., and during two seasons in Algeria. Mr. Abbot, the director of the observatory, states that the observations of the last year prove conclusively the supposed variability of the solar rays. SPONGES FOR FERTILIZING. The department of agriculture, through its bureau of soils, has recently completed analysis of the Loggerhead sponge, which grows abundantly in the waters of Southern Florida, to determine its value as a fertilizer. This sponge, according to Mr. Thomas B. Reedy of Key West, grows enormous size in shallow and unflooded enormous size in shallow water, where it is easy to procure. Mr. Reedy also states that the farmers of the Florida keys use the Loggerhead sponge with wonderful results and hardly ever use chemical fertilizers. Dr. H. F. Moore of the United States bureau of fisheries cities the use of this sponge by citrus fruit growers of the Florida mainland and states that he has seen that he has long thought it should be exploited. A specialist of the department recently made analyses of samples from Key West which verify the value of this sponge as a fertilizer. The analyses show that the approximate results on air dry material show four per cent. of nitrogen, three-quarter of one per cent. each of potash and phosphoric acid, five per cent. of lime and 40 per cent. of organic matter. The specialist states an evident from the description of this material and its demonstrated efficiency as a fertilizer that it has a valuable value to farmers and fruit growers who have easy access to it in the shallows of the sea. The department is conducting further investigations to determine the feasibility of extending the use of this sponge as a fertilizer. BEEKING INFORMATION. While strange letters are not a rarity in government departments, the secretary of agriculture recently received a letter which breaks all records for inquiry having to do with drugs and medicine. This letter, which is printed below, omitting the name and address of the writer, gives an insight into a certain type of people who think they can use all sorts of drugs and polio in making potent malicine. An exact copy of the letter follows: Mixed Metaphors. "Jones has certainly a bad way of mixing up things in his talk." "What's the matter now!" "He says at his house staining the bare floors is the topic just now on the carpet." Why? "Why do people speak of 'the human race' when men and women are always running after each other."—Catalina Pelican. The federal authorities, however, have no legal power under the food and drugs act to prevent these people from making this medicine containing poisonous substances. While there is strict legal regulation over the practice of medicine and the filling of prescriptions, the same legal control does not extend to the manufacture of patient medicine, provided the makers of these patent medicines stake on label the presence of substances which the law says shall be so noted, and do not authorize or insult the purchaser as to its contents, and do not make any excessive or false claims as to its remedial powers, the federal authorities cannot stop the sale of the article in interstate commerce or otherwise. CALENDAR REFORMED. Thirty days hath September, April, June and November. All the last thirteen— You know the rest. Over in the office of the comptroller of the treasury they don't believe in the second line of this old saying, but they stick absolutely to the first. A case in point is that of Dr. Charles W. Richardson. He was ordered to active service once the war was to deliver an address to the graduating class of the army medical school. Doctor Richardson completed his active service by turning in his bill for one day's active service. When the matter came to the attention of Assistant Camptroller Warwick that official decided that in all cases where compensation is rated on a monthly basis each month, February included, the month is presumed to have thirty days and under the law the government does not pay for the thirty-first day. Therefore Doctor Richardson was refused pay for his labor on the 31st day of May. In further explaining the decision treasury officer said that Doctor Richardson had he delivered his address on February 28, would have received three days' pay. The only thing left is to figure it out for yourself. SENATOR WAS CURIOUS. Senator-elect Robert E. Broussard of Louisiana is a wiser man now. The geological survey made him so. Mr. Broussard was one of the first persons to venture out of his hotel after the severe storm that swept Washington a few days ago. On the sidewalks, where he travelled, he thousands of pebbles of various shapes and colors were found among others and reddish-tinted stones. Believing that the storm had blown such pebbles out of the air or some distant planet, he became curious to know where they came from and whether or not they contained precious metals. He saved a handful of them, and without saying anything about his find, took the little stones to the geological examination of the house, noting saying: "Pebbles, blown from the roof of a house that was being covered, some painted blue and others red." RED TAPE TANGLED. The red tape of the United States government simply gets tangled up until it costs the government a pretty penny. Recently an army officer seat in his gas and electric light bills, and these were tipped up in so much red tape in the department that the government was finally penalized for the amount, and had to lose the discount. The auditor for the army held the officer responsible and deducted the amount from his credit, but the controller relieved him and allowed him the amount of the difference. TO RESTORE PLATE. The bronze plate placed on the mainmast of the battleship Maine in 1910 by the Daughters of the American Revolution of Habana, Cuba, is to be restored to the historic old spar, when it is erected in Arlington cemetery to mark the graves of the unknown dead of the ill-fated battleship. The Habana chapter of the daughters recently won the consent of the navy department archives when the work of raising the vessel was begun. Overindulgence. "My wife will know I drank too much at the banquet." "Why, you are walking straight enough." "But look at the bum umbrella I picked out."

In the dictum that "party lines end at the water's edge" is confirmed by the approving attitude of prominent public men, regardless of their party affiliations. The somewhat disgruntled tone of much of the comment from the other Central American states—Costa Rica, Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras—is attributed to fear of "aggression" by their cherished dream of a federation of the lathman republics.

P That the return of Mrs. John Jacob Astor means a war for social supremacy to the utmost limits of cash and ingenuity between her and Mrs. Flush—the latter of whom has held rule with Mrs. Herman Oelrichs undisturbed these many days—no one in the smart set doubts. Bashin Mrs. Astor is her long record of leadership in London, where royalty has shared in her entertainments frequently and willingly. But more significant than anything else is the fact that she has swooped down on Newport and New York at the very time that King George and No one in the house of representatives dares to trifle with Representa- tive John J.

The reason is that "Fitz," as they call him, is possessed of one of the most marvelous memoirs on national legislation. PETER H. He can remember the name, date, page and line of every speech ever made in congress—so his friends say. This may be an exaggeration, of course, but Philip Campbell, the stalwart standup Republican from Kansas, has reason to regret "Pits's" memory. A few weeks ago the question of "tenure of office for government clerk" arose in the house. The Dem- Walter W. Vick, of New Jersey, has been appointed by President Wilson receiver general of the customs of the republic of Santo Domingo, thus continuing a novel experiment in national finance, inaugurated in 1905. It is the first case in which a bankrupt nation ascribed another nation to act as receiver of its revenues and stand between it and its creditors during the settlement of its outstanding obligations. At the 9 present time the Dominican republic has more money to spend for proper purposes than ever before, while ample provision is being made for *v*-ping out its indebtedness at an early date. The debt of $30,000,000 in 1905 has been reduced to $17,000,000, while customs dues have been reduced, trade increased, misrule brought to an end, and the blessings of peace established in the formerly turbulent country.

The purchase of the exclusive right to build a canal across the Caribbean from the Caribbean to the Pacific, represents a policy of insurance against competition with the Panama canal. The acquisition of a naval base on the Gulf of Fonseca is scarcely less important, according to the same paper, because "we shall have much need of a great harbor on the central west coast when the Panama canal is opened," and "we have need at present of a suitable place to which our country may be attached." Magdalena bay on the Mexican coast, having become unavailable even for target practice. But more significant than either of these features of the treaty, in the opinion of our press, is the proposed protectorate over the turbulent little nation of 600,000 souls, whose kaleidoscopic politics have caused Uncle Sam so much anxiety in the past. As the Washington correspondent of New York Sun points out in his "Maritime story" stretching from ocean to ocean, in which stability of government and industry will be effected." Queen Mary are said to be on the eve of a visit to the United States. Just what to do, with the British ruler and his consort when they land on these shores has Washington diplomat, statesmen and society sitting up nights trying to figure out the stage of almost nervous prostration trying to guess where it will get off on the same monetous occasion. Now that Mrs. Astor has arrived, the wise ones are up a tree, metaphorically. To desert Mrs. Flah and Mrs. Oelrichs and rally to the standard of Mrs. Astor with the chance of being included in the ceremony under circumstances where Mrs. Astor may play the leading role, is a temptation hard to resist. On the other hand, to flock too quickly to Mrs. Astor may put the elect in a bad way, for the return of Mrs. Astor may be only a temporary affair, and her departure for England, much beloved of the Astors, may leave them outside the bars when the Mrs. Oelrichs again step into power. That Mrs. Fish and Mrs. Oeirls will not give up leadership without a bitter struggle is only too apparent. In the meantime society is guessing and watching for the next move of these resourceful women. ocrate had a proposition to make government clerks' employment proceed in terms of six years. Representative Campbell made a most vigorous and fiery speech against it. He called it inquisitive; he called it tyrannical; he called it unfeeling, unsympathetic and smelling of graft and corruption, and made a request for himself on the Republican side. "While he was talking, Representative Fitzgerald called Marcellus Shields, assistant clerk to the house appropriations committee. "Get me the Record of about April 12, 1906," he said. Shields brought the volume and Fitzgerald turned to April 12. There was the speech of Campbell of Kansas in favor of a tenure of office—exactly in favor of the thing he was now denouncing. Fitzgerald wielded the chance to endorse Campbell's six years of speech—and Campbell nearly died of embarrassment. "John," he said to Fitzgerald in the chalkroom afterward, "how in the name of crime did you remember that speech. Why, I forgot that I ever!" entered into under the terms of a treaty between the United States and San Domingo, European intervention seemed a certainty. Now claims are being settled rapidly.

Pat could not find his watch, so he went to his friend, the lieutenant at the police station, and reported that he had lost it. The lieutenant assured him that he would not leave a stone in New York unturned until the watch had been found. Pat returned home much comforted by his friend's assurance, and a few hours later discovered the watch in the lining of his vest, so he set out immediately for the police station to inform the lieutenant of his find. As he was passing along his way he saw some men wearing were tearing up pipes, and going up to them he said: "Niver, mind lads, I've found the watch."

It Was Rule in Ancient Greek Church to Use Right-Hand Third Finger —Fashion Changed at Time of Reformation. No other finger than the third of the left hand is now ever considered for either an engagement or wedding ring, but it was not always so. At the time of the Reformation it was just coming into fashion, and the rule in the ancient Greek church was the use of the right-hand third finger. Wedding rings have been used as far back as we have any record, and the right hand was the favored one. There are no authentic reasons for the change save that, the right hand being in active use, the ring was more liable to wear and injury, as the gold used was exceedingly soft. A fifth century writer speaks very entertainingly of rings. It was then that a toon to ear greeted them of them, accompanied with jewels, carved, and sometimes of massive designs and proportions, so that the hands thus laden were scarcely fitted for heavy work. Then the rings began to be worn exclusively upon the left hand, leaving the right one free. The fanciful reason given by many for the use of the third left-hand finger is that it is nearest the heart, and, as an old chronicle says, this dight "hath especially the honor to bear rings." The story of the signet ring has an interest to all, for his honor in Greece was privileged to wear his signet ring, and it was a much-prized possession. The custom was evidently adopted from the Sabines, and free citizens of Rome made some of theirs of iron. Afterward, when Rome was luxuriating in her tremendous power and was in the height of glory, many a stanch old Roman displayed an token of his regard for the simple way in which they used to live. History does not tell us just when the custom of wedding rings originated, but it was long before the time of Christ. Some say that the ring is an emblem of eternity, as the circle has no beginning and no ending; and from the earliest time it was regarded as a symbol of constancy and fidelity, and exchanged in other transactions besides matrimony when evidences of faith and loyalty were solemnly sworn to and sealed with the sacred token. At first the signet rings were used in the marriage ceremony, and in sixteenth century "motto" rings came to be used in the plain golden circles inscribed with "Until death," "Semper fidelis," "Two hearts that beat as one," "Mizipah," "We two together go," "One faith, one love," etc. These were called "poys" rings. Another reason for selecting the third finger for the wedding ring is the fact that from the earliest time the bishops or heads of the churches wore the insignia of their office upon that finger; the "high priest of the temple" wore it as long as he retained the position, it being placed there in the consecration ceremony. We find the bishops of today wearing the church ring set with an amethyst. Signet rings are mentioned in the Bible, and we find the ring in those days to have been a sign of honor as it is with us. During the war a lover who wished to specially honor bride sent the gold money to the goldsmith with which to fashion the wedding ring, in those days the heavier brooder the band the girl and girls used to measure the width and "heft" the circles to see whose was the broadest and heaviest, and thereby establish a social standing, unimpeachable. Now the bride asks for a very narrow rounded circle with which to pledge her vows, one that will be as unobstructive as possible and not interfere with the wearing of her other much-beweiled rings, some of which "are almost as well as sixpences and as long as—well, as long as the fingers which they adorn." Urgent Business at the Postoffice. A man business at the Wellington postoffice on other day and asked for the postmaster. He was told by the clerk that the postmaster was not in. "When will he be in?" was asked. The postmaster would be in within half an hour. "Is there anything I can do for you?" the clerk asked. "No; I want to see the postmaster." After a while the man came back and asked again for the postmaster. "He's not back," the clerk told him anything I can do for you, or can I tell him something when he comes." "No, there ain't nuthin' you can do and I wiht the postmaster was here. I want to see if there's any mall for n.e, and I'm gettin' in a hurry."—Kansas City Star. Not What He Was Looking For. Farmer Crab's brook is noted for the number and size of its eels. Fishing therein is "strictly prohibited," which in itself is attraction enough for the small boy.

CHICKEN SERVED IN JELLY Always Something New In the Preparation of This Thoroughly Appreciated Summer Dish. Roast a plump tender fowl, basting to keep it tender. When cold remove the skin and cut in very thin small slices. Put the bones in a saucepan with three cups of water and cook for three hours, reduce to two and a half cups. Add one tablespoon each of chopped onion, celery and carrot, one sprig of parsley and thyme, a small sprig of savory, one half bay leaf, one clove and six pepper cups. Cook for ten minutes, strain through a cheese cloth. Cool. Soak one-half box of stock till soft. Warm the remainder of the stock and add the gelatin, stirring well. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice, heat to the boiling point, season with salt and cayenne. Beat the white of one egg till slightly foamy, add to it gradually one cup of the hot mixture, then add the egg and stock very gradually to the hot liquid; bring to the boiling point, stirring constantly. Remove to back of range, strain through a bag for half an hour, strain through a alynn bag for hour, Select a round pan and cook it. Add the jelly are added. Set the pan in ice water and pour in enough of the jelly to cover the bottom. When this is hard decorate the surface with hard cooked eggs sliced and cut in fancy shapes, pour in more jelly, a spoonful at a time, until the eggs are firmly fixed, then add enough to make the jelly three-fourths of an inch thick. When firm put in a layer of chicken, cut in small thin slices, first dipping in a little liquid gelatin, then add the jelly a little at a time until the mold is filled. Add two layers of chicken may be added. When the jelly is firm, turn from the mold on a fancy platter and garnish with parsley. It may be sliced and laid on lettuce or grape leaves for individual plates. A boiled fowl may be used in this way. FUDGE AND WHIPPED CREAM Delicacy Rich Enough to Tax the Di gesticive Powers of All but the Very Young. Fudge with whipped cream is a delicacy rich enough to appeal to the palate of the most exacting boarding-school girl. First, measure out a pound and a half of brown sugar—three cups—into a saucepan, and add to this a cup of salt and a half square of chocolate and cook the mixture till it hardens when tried in cold water. Take from the fire and beat with vigor for three minutes. Have ready a half pint of cream-beaten to a froth and add this to the mixture. Next add a little vanilla for flavoring and chopped walnut meat if desired. Proceed with the small fudge, beating it almost stiff and cooling on butter-ting For the Sewing Room. When scissors become dull, put a pin between the blades and rub it up and down, working the blades as in cutting. This will put a new edge on the scissors and takes but a moment's time. One likes to have her towels marked, but has not the time to embroider them nor the money to spend on handwork, the sewing machine shops, where one has machine hemstitching done will embroider a monogram or initials by machine for 10 or 15 cents each, and. as each letter is stuffed in the handwork, when carefully laundered and ironed on a blanket quite as good as of handwork. Of course the money may be marked before giving it to the shop. Mint Frappe. Boll together ten minutes the juice from one can of pineapples, one cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water. Remove from the fire, add one tablespoonful of gelatine which has been softened in a little cold water. Add a bunch of fresh mint, bruise it with a well and allow it to stand covered about ten minutes. Then strain and add the pineapple, which is obviously much thicker than the grinder. Freeze until it becomes like fresh mush. Then add the beaten whites of two eggs, continue to freeze, then pack with ice and salt. Decorate each glass with a spray of mint leaves. "Brula" With Pecans "Brula" is another name for caramel ice cream, and here is an unusually good recipe for making it: Make a custard, using a little less than a quart of milk to two eggs. Put one pound of dark sugar in a hot skillet and stir until it has become a rich, reddish brown. Then mix with milk and sugar, whisk until the mixture is hot. When it has cooled, add a pint of cream and a half cupful of finely crushed pecan meats. Freeze as usual. New Scrub Bucket The newest style in buckets is a great improvement over the old pail where a forgotten cake of soap sometimes dissolved and there was no place to lay the cloth. Now there is an improved pail, square in shape, with a handle that fits into the top. This tray has a compartment of of washing powder, soap, rag and brush, and is a great improvement over the old kind of house bucket. Snow Cake Without Eggs Two cups sugar, one half cup butter one cup sweet milk, two cups pastry flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon vanilla. Put ingredients together and add in the place of whites of four eggs two cups of snow, put in the last thing. Be sure and have a thick layer on the top, then quickly. This rule makes a three layer cake; also you can add chocolate to one layer and have in between white layers. To Keep the Pantry Cool. Fasten two thicknesses of muslin over the pantry window; keep the window open and the muslin wet with salt and water. This will keep the files out as well as cooling the pan. Fabulous Age. Many Pages of the Book Deal With the Setting of Shoes, Mending Axes and Tools, and the Transportation of Hay. John S. Cole of West Springfield, Mass., is the possessor of a very interesting and very old book—the account book of Eleazer Loomis of Partridge, born in 1786, or ten years before that signage of the Declaration of Independence. Loomis was a blacksmith, and many of the pages of the book deal with the setting of shoes, mending axes and tools, and the transportation of hay. All the "scupms" in the first part of the book are reckoned in pounds, but toward the and the present system we have come into general use and the hearts are then kept in dollars and cents. The accounts, which are carried on through a long period of years that were in themselves hazardous areas, show a painstaking care and an exactness that might well be followed today. That Loomis was a careful business man is shown by the fact that he kept all his receipts in the account book. The book at frequent intervals was audited by Loomis and an assistant and is so signed. Besides being his assistant, the accountary days, it affords an excellent means of comparing the cost of living and the price of labor then and now. So much is heard today of the increased cost of living, of the increased price demanded by manufacturers and of the ever increasing demand for labor by both skilled and unskilled labor, that it would be interesting to note the difference in the values of Loomis time and the values of today. In the beginning of his "accomp" he values his hired labor at 62 cents daily. This suddenly jumps to 75 cents daily. Today the laborer, with a pick and above, is getting from $2 to $2.50 daily or more. This is a comparison of Loomis paid his assistants in black smithing. This is really a comparison between skilled and unskilled labor. The difference in the price of food stuffs is also very marked. Loomis bought 403 pounds of beef for an amount slightly over $21, or at about five cents a pound. Today he would have bought three pounds that amount a pound for it. He got butter at 18 cents a pound, now it is 30. Potatoes came at $23 a bushel or less than one-third of what they are today. Since the west opened up there has been but little change in the price of oats, for our blacksmith paid 50 cents a bushel for them, while they were selling them for $1. In the rental of his horse and teams it looks as if Loomis used very poor judgment or else the ruling prices were very low, for he took a load of hay to Pittsfield for 50 cents, a distance of 40 miles each way. At another time he rented his "hos" to man for a day for a $25 cent bill, but he just hit 74 about fourth of what it is today. There are a number of amusing entries in the book, such as 3,200 pounds of coal for $2 and a day's work for a bushel of potatoes. He shed a "hosse," mended a "handel," made ferrel and mended a shovel, all for $2 cents. The spelling of a great book, the birds, sleigh, slight, moving, moving; full, fool, kettle, kettle. The only are instances from many hundreds in the account and they go to show what a remarkable change has taken place since revolutionary days. The book is in a remarkable state of preservation for each old one. It is bound in calf. The paper is good quality and the ink has been employed and in some places almost faded, but for the part one is able to read all the items. There are only in few persons today who would have the patience to keep such an exact account of receipts and expenditures as Loomis did, especially through such a long period of Everything is seen done on the ground, and the whole at frequent intervals is balanced. At the bottom of each balance is the receipt of the debtor or creditor, whichever he was, usually signed by a witness. Rich Hermit Starved to Death. A rich hermit, John Kirkpatrick, better known as the "Hairy Man" of the "Vale of Leven Hermit", died starvation at Jamestown, Dumbarton, Scotland, a few days ago. Kirkpatrick lived alone in a wooden but near the Forth of Clyde railway. He was about fifty years of age. Although possessed of considerable wealth, he did not take the necessaries of life. He had long hair like that of a woman, and he wore aunt dress. The but, which was previously used as a henhouse, was infested with rats and in fifth condition. Kirkpatrick is supposed to have belonged to Ameri- cans, although he had resided in Jamestown about ten years. The police found that he had a considerable amount of money in the bank Top Sensitive. Too Sensitive. "There is absolutely no use to talk to me about woman suffrage." "Really, old man. I cannot understand why you oppose it so strongly." "Well, I'll tell you.

The books of travel he then wrote are prized by historians as on the whole the best material we have concerning the economic condition of the south during the 19th century. A dozen years ago another traveler, with Olmsted's books in his bag, toured the entire south with much the same general inquiry in his mind. He wanted to learn how much the labor system of the south had improved. He came back rather discouraged about the Negroes, but rather enthusiastic about the growing disposition of the South to use more and more labor. Perhaps his judgment was somewhat influenced by the feeling of the southerners round him, and particularly by their eagerness to attract immigration. At that time this eagerness was not only very great, but rather undiscriminating. Apparently, the south wanted all the white men it could get, from whatever quarter. Today there are sigas that the attitude of the south on this important matter has some similarity to the attitude of the grants from the north is, indeed, still undiminished. There is also a hearty welcome for European immigrants of races known to be readily assimilable by the southern native stocks—which are mainly English, Scotch and Scottish, with a smaller admixture of French and German. But the south does not seem so keen as it was for all sorts of immigrants. So much may perhaps be inferred from the resemblance of the greens, particularly Representative Burnett of Alabama. Perhaps the best explanation is that the south, although it has received few immigrants, has been prospering mightily during the last decade. Undoubtedly, too, the troubles of the north with foreign labor have made an impression on thoughtful southern. Perhaps we can hope, also, that a grove ourselves has a little more content than we have more content with things as they are—although probably that is not the view of most southern white people. The Negroes themselves seem to be agreeing more and more with Booker Washington that the south offers them their best industrial opportunity. In that opinion Principal Washington finds himself strengthened by a close study of the poorest classes in Europe, whose condition he is constantly comparing with that of the Negroes in the south. He declares that the colored farmer, even in the most backward parts of the southern states in America, is incomparably better than the condition and opportunities of the agricultural population in Sicily." He has reached the same conclusion about other parts of Europe. For that and for other reasons he would not welcome a great miscellaneous immigration into the south. No doubt in that he truly represents the mass of his people. No such unanimity on the subject can, however, be attributed to southern whites. Many complain that their labor-supply is both scant and inefficient, and many desire more settlers in order to hasten the development of the country. But it does seem true that concerning these great matters both the white and the black south are today in a haplier and more hopeful mood than at any other time since the war—Youth's Companion. The last battle in which a British sovereign personally led his troops on the battlefield was in 1742 when George II, at the head of his army, defeated the French at the battle of Dettingen. The first day's session of the National Negro Business league convention was devoted to a discussion of general merchandising, the development of insurance business among negroes, the negro inventor, and the forward to the country movement among the members of the race. Statistick were presented to show that the negro is crowding into the large city in the detachment of his material advancement and health. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York were mentioned as having an excess negro population measured by the opportunities the colored man has in those cities. The coal production of the Transvaal for 1912 showed an increase over the previous year, the figures being 4,751,550 tons, valued at $5,086,424, compared with $4,943,600 tons; of $4,966,453 value in 1911. Many worked out* coal mines in Pennsylvania are being filled in with sand and other waste material to prevent their surfaces caving and damaging valuable property. Any individual rejoicing in the name of Mr. Earwig may be proud in the fact that originally the name meant the "boar of battle." According to the Canadian Forestry association 50 per cent of Canada is capable of growing nothing but timber crops. The entire 1912-13 opium crop of European and Asiatic Turkey is placed at 7,000 cases of 150 pounds net each. In Lyons, France, all perambulating signs are subject to the traffic regulations. Home gave away corn to the poor, but that did not save her from destruction. Massachusetts now has nearly 61,000 registered automobiles. First and foremost, I call the attention of the race through this league to the fact that there are at least 200,000,444 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the southern states. This means a territory as large as Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. I am glad to say that we already own and occupy 20,000,000 acres, but this is only about two acres for each individual. All this means one thing: That the time has come when the business league and other organizations should send forth a voice which can be heard everywhere and can not be misunderstood. For a larger proportion of race fields, the land will be planted and plant themselves in the country districts on the soil before it is too late. Verily it is true that here in the United States the words of the prophet of old are fulfilled, when he said there was a land awaiting the occupation of the people, that was "flowing with milk and honey." In our case as a race, the milk will come from our own jersey cows and the honey from our own well kept bees. Forward to the land! should be our motto everywhere, instead or owning 20,000,000 acres, we should within the next quarter of a century own 40,000,000 acres. To the man or the race who owns the soil all things come in time. But we leave the fleeing and often stolen land on God's green earth. I want to see members of my race that are now in too large numbers flocking to the cities, join the great world movement "back to the land," or better still, "forward to the land."—Booker Washington Such institutions as those at Tuskegee, Hampton and Prairie View are sending out thousands of young men and women imbued with good purposes and well equipped to render incalculable service to the negro people. These men and women live wholesome lives and set wholesome examples that are bringing year by year a heavy fruitage in the way of enlightenment and encouragement. As vast as is the problem here in the south, and as tremendous the mass of bein to honesty, virtue, self-reliance and thrift, there is no reason for discouragement and the south there can where through the whites a constantly growing sympathy for and interest in the negro population, and that sympathy and encouragement are accomplishing great things. We can see from the progress of the present how much better the future is going to be, and we have every reason to hope that the problem will be divested of its complexities as intelligence is disseminated among the negroes and the white people more fully realize that their own welfare depends upon making the negro a more intelligent and useful factor in our economic life. We believe the lynching record continues to diminish and is being radiated. The negro himself must help the good work along by abstaining from all forms of lawlessness and by ceasing to give shelter to those who commit crimes. A healthy public sentiment will accomplish the rest—Houston (Texas.) Post. The cotton industry of Italy has 4,575,000 spindles and 134,380 power looms, 48 per cent in Lombardy, 24 per cent in Piedmont and the remainder in Venetia, Liguria, and, in lesser degree, in central and southern Italy The industry employs 207,512 operatives. The first session of the Chautauqua at Lincoln, Md., was opened by Bishop John Hurat, the president J. C. Napier in his address paid a tribute to the state of Maryland, which produced a Frederick Doolglas. He said that the colored people are often referred to as a burden to the country, but how like the state of Adam and the state of that people this country were it not for the countryside of the cotton of the world that is raised by the enforced people of the south. Permanent organization of a state negro business league was effected, with the following officers: C. C. Fitzgerald, president; H. T. Pratt, vice president; Daniel H. Murphy, secretary, and J. F. Fageenden, treasurer. Consul David J. D. Myers reports that banana exports to the United States from Puerto Cortes, Honduras, during the first five months of 1973 aggregated 1,460,000 bunches. Dipsomaniacs are treated with bread soaked in wine in Sweden. At the end of a week the patient revolts at the taste of liquor. Andrew Kline of Dillsburg, Pa., has a barrel which, instead of being made of wood, is made of plaited straw, and in such way that it is perfectly watertight Barrels of this kind were frequently used in revolutionary times. France has spent $35,000,00 in planting trees on the watersheds of important streams. There are fewer suicides among miners than among the other class of workmen. People who grumble at a thirty- minute sermon will 'line up uncom- plainingly a block from the ticket window. To be a broker you first speculate in stocks and then on what became of your money. As a rule, tears do not accompany baby's cries until it is three months old. British postoffices handle 15,000,000 letters and 250,000 telegraphs a day. FOR WINDOW DRAPERY TIME TO GIVE THOUGHT TO CURTAINS IS NOW. Material Desired May Be Bought Cheaper at This Season Than Later—Suggestions as to the Best Color Schemes. Now that autumn is approaching it is time to think of new curtains. They may be purchased now at small cost. For a living or dining room nothing could be prettier than the green and yellow scheme. If the walls are green, brown or gray, have soft yellow, brown the window and green to cover the woodwork. Soft yellow silk muslin hemstitched in beautiful, but the same delicate shade of cheesecloth will give exactly the same effect. Cheesecloth may sound rather poor, but when hanging at a window wide light beams can illuminate it certainly nothing less expensive. Make the curtain perfectly straight with a wide hem. Put them on a brass rod and they will hang softly, giving a peculiar light that is unusually suggestive of mellow sunlight. Over the window frame a heavier mousse can cover all living rooms cretone or English chinns in yellow and brown tones is pretty but cotton poplin is no more expensive and much more elegant and artistic. Poplin can be purchased in all shades of green, brown or red, and is a good substitute for velours in winter. The same effect can be achieved with velours, it used not be made by an expert to look well. Outside 'drapes should be cut straight, the same as those next the window, using a width for each side. Hem across the bottom and attach the other end to a rod, or tock to either side of the window frame, as they will not be drawn, but left to hang plain of the window a valance is good. Cut the popin in half lengthwise, making a casing, with heading, and have it twice as wide as the window. Run the rod through the casing. For a bedroom white cheesecloth is advantageous. Cheesecloth washes like linen, always looks fresh, apparently never wears out and in colors never seems to fade. It is pretty for a bedroom, as the light has a way of shining through it which is very alluring, almost like a sunset glow. Inside curtains of cretonne may be made of a width of the material less the width that is taken off for the pleasing. Make box pleats about two inches wide and the same distance apart, stitch and put around the sides and bottom of curtains, also on the sides and bottom of curtains them the same as the other curtains. The best quality of cheesecloth in all colors can be bought for ten cents a yard, and silk muslin and cotton poplin at 25 cents. Golden Dream Cake Separate the yolks and white of four eggs, beat the whites with an egg-beater until you can turn the bowl wrong side up and the egg white will hold its position solidly. Then with the egg-beater beat the yolks for five minutes when they will be thick and creamy. Then beating all the time with beater, gradually pour in one cup granulated sugar. Beat until sugar and eggs form a cream, light and foamy. Then add one-half tea spoonful of lemon or vanilla. Last of all add one cup of pastry flour, stirred three times, with saltspoon of salt in it. Fold in the flour very carefully with a spoon. Turn into a buttered and well-floored tin and bake a pretty golden pastry. Then create each piece deeply and then break. To cut sponge cake spoils the grain and makes it seem heavy. There is no rising in this cake except the eggs. But you will find it all right and most delicious cake. Blueberry Pudding Mix and sift two cupfuls of flour, four spoonfuls of baking powder (leave el measurement) and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Work in two tablespoonfuls of butter, using the tips of the fingers, then add one cupful of milk, gradually, mixing with a knife. Pleek over blueberries; there should be one cupful. Roll in one and one half tablespoonfuls of flour and add to first mixture. Turn into a buttered mold (having mold not more than two-thirds full), and tie on a buttered cover. Place mold on a trivet in kettle containing boiling water, allowing water to run off the mold. Cover closely and steam one and one-half hours, adding more boiling water as necessary, always being sure that water does not reach a lower temperature than the boiling point. Serve with sea-foam sauce—Woman's Home Companion. Washing Net Curtains To wash net curtains soak them in an earthenware bowl or porcelain cup over night in suds of white soap. First wash them through one soapy water to remove the surface dust. Then put them in the suds made of shaved white soap, boiling water and borax — two tablespoons of water. Then add water; in the morning wash the curtains gently until they are clean and then rinse them in clean water until all trace of soap has disappeared. Blue, starch and dry them. Move the Carpst. Every now and then, instead of allowing the stair carpet to remain in exactly the same position as first placed, the tread of the carpet should be moved a couple of inches or so either up or down. This has the effect of keeping the pile of the carpet in a uniform condition, and besides it makes the best appearance carpet, it helps it to last much longer than it would if left exactly as laid. It costs nothing to do this, yet saves much. To Clear Soup. Many housewives dislike to strain soup. This discovery may make it easier: Pour the soup, when hot, through a muslin cloth which has just been wrung out of ice water. It is then strained, heat gratin and serve. Iowa STATE BYSTANDER BASEBALL J. Franklin Baker is still there with the wallop. All of the Nap players claim that Christy Mathewson is the king of them all. Weak pitching is the cause of the Dodgers' poor showing, says Al Bridwell of the Cubs. Gus Dondon, the old White Sox second baseman, is on the pay roll of the Chicago Peds. McGraw says he believes "Jef" Tesraeu will be the big factor in the coming world's series. Bob McAllister is said to be one of the first fighters to take up golf as a part of his training. Chappell has rounded into shape so that he is able to deliver some of that $18,000 paid for him. Those Cardinals are low in the race, but they are usually able to make the Giants sit up and take notice. Horace Fogel says he has lined up Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York for the Federal league next year. The White Sox and the Giants are to play on a field that will accommodate 25,000 people at Nice, France. McGraw had a chance to get young Fred Kommers, who is starring in the Pirate outfield, but passed him up. George Paskert of the Phillies has joined the "barber-shop herd." George has had his hair cut close to his head. Somehow or other, a man like Saler, who lets his bat do most of his talking, is rather popular among real fans. Manager McGraw says that the Giants are displaying more speed right now then they did last season. There is not likely to be any great popular movement for the abolition of baseball slavery, but something should be done. Morning practice has been ordered for the Giants by McGraw again in hopes that he will keep them from slumping. Bob Connery, scout for the Cards, says the trouble with the team now is that it has only one 'pitcher in trim, Slim Sallee. President McAleer of the Red Sox has purchased Cooney, the crack shortstop of the Worcester New Engle land league team. Clyde Milan, the Washington outfielder and greatest base burglar in captivity, is leading the major leagues in base stealing. Nappy Felch, the outfielder from Fond du Lac signed by the Brooklyn club, is said to be a second Ty Cobb on the bases and with the bat. . . . Chance is injecting a lot of ginger into the Yankees, according to the New York papers. If that's true he has earned his year's salary already. Everyone is willing to admit that George McBride would be an ideal man to head the Red Sox next year. He is the right kind of man for the place. --- Davy Jones, Jay Kirke and Charley Jones, ex-big leaguers, now with Toledo, are one, two, three in the American association batting aver --- The Highlanders and the Dodgers are going to be some ball teams next year, if half of the youngsters now are trained in by the scouts are any good. --- Bill Carrigan believes that Scott, the youngster he has secured from the St. Paul team, will be a better player than Donle Bush or Heine Wagner ever was Christy Mathewson is now twirling in his thirteenth consecutive season for the Glants, but is able to show up every young pitcher in the National league at that. Umpire Ricker agrees with Connie Mack that St. Louis will never have a winning ball club because the heat there is too severe to allow the players to do their best. Tinker is eager to obtain Charpie Herzog from McGraw, but there is no likelihood of the fighting third sacker passing to the Reds. He fills a niche in a pinch that few felders can. Birds of a feather do not always flock together. George Browne, one of the most ancient figures in the game, recently jumped right in Scranton's right gardens, vice Harry Lumley, also remembered by those who sounded lead in the Flood. Larry Chappell, the new high priced outfield player of the White Sox, looks the part of a sure qualifier as a White Sox regular in 1914, but this big fellow will be handicapped this season by a lame leg and too much publicity. Ray Schalk of the White Sox. Five young catchers of ability have been developed in the American league within the last twelve months, all of them being the regular backstops on their teams at present. Dick Gossett of the New Yorks is probably the best catcher pure and simple in the flock, although Will Schang of the Athletic, Ray Schalk of the White Sox, Sam Agnew of the Browns and Red McKee of Detroit, may hit the ball a trifle harder. Hughey Jennings says that Ty Cobb is not dissatisfied. The funniest things in baseball happen in the midnight league. Otto Hess says that the easiest team for him to lick is the Cards. Harry Covaleskle, former Giant killer, has been signed by the Tigers for next year. Norman Eberfield will hold his job at Chattanooga next year, according to Mogul Andrews. Chance has promised to give the Highlanders a thorough shaking up, and he is keeping his promise. Mike Mitchell waited until he was at safe distance and then opened a tirade on Johnny Evers of the Cubs. Maisel is rather undersized, but he makes up for what he lacks in height by his speed. He is only twenty-one years old. The Highlanders are crawling up in the list pretty fast these days, and the smile on the face of Frank Chance is increasing in breadth. Clark Griffith has been quoted as denying the deal with Boston involving McBride, but Jimmy McAleer has never denied he would take McBride if he could get him. A report has it that Manager Clymer can't agree with hotel proprietors after the Bisons have had a losing streak and that he declared a boycott on one New York hostelry. SPORTING WORLD November 23 has been selected as the date for the annual army-navy football game this year. The United States Lawn Tennis association received $18,000 as its share of the Davis cup matches. The English style of rowing will not be abandoned at Vale, despite the reverses of this year's crew. Freddie Welsh is said to be about the wealthiest boxer in the game. His fortune is estimated at $100,000. Charles Webb Murphy has taken to golf because he can forget his troubles better than way than any other. Efforts to resurrect its athletic reputation, especially in football, will be made at Northwestern university this fall. --- Warren K. Wood won the Western Amateur Geif association championship from Ned Allis of Milwaukee, at Homewood, Ill. Bob Deady, a well-known manager of boxers, is about to quit the squared circle and will have charge of a Philadelphia theater. Announcement is made that a match has been arranged between Al Palzer and Carpenter, the French heavyweight champion. Lincoln Prescott, of Phillips Andover academy, cleared 23 feet 6½ inches in the broad jump at the recent New England championships. An announcement has been made by P. T. Powers at a meeting of the American Racing Cyclists' union, that a circuit is planned for the six-day riders for next winter. James M. Roseberger, of the Irish American A. L. C., and Homer Baker, of the N. Y. A. C., will represent the eastern section of the United States on the All-American team which will go to Australia next fall. Harry Tuttle, Tiger trainer, who is to quit baseball temporarily so as to take up his work as football trainer at West Point, thinks Hoge, the West Point captain, will make a wonder of a leader. --- After at exciting finish in the open championship tournament of the Matrepatian Golf association at the Satirebanks link, Alec Smith, the Wykaryk Golf club's professional, won the title by a margin of one stroke from Tom McNamara of Boston, who won the championship honors a year ago. Pretty Model's Brief Hours or Sunshine Dearly Paid For, as She Had Foreseen. Marcel Dupres, the artist, was in search of inspiration when chance led him to the Moulin de la Galette. He was sitting over a glass of book and watching the dancers through a trellis of painted green woodwork entwined with faded white wisteria of Pipistrels smiled out at him from the whirling crowd. it was a vivid, haunting smile, one which could not easily be forgotten, and before the night was old it flashed at him over the rim of a wine glass which she held gayly to her scarlet, curving lips. One day as they wandered, with arms entwined, among the long avenues of emerald-tinted trees, Pipistrel made a confession. "Of course, I don't love him any more. I don't think I ever did love him—really, she faltered in conclusion, a pink blush dyeing the tip of an everted chin. "I thought when he went away that he had gone forever, and I was glad. I wanted to be free. He was so violent he frightened me. And now he is in Paris again. I saw him this morning on the Pont Neuf. Oh. I am afraid—afraid he will somehow take me away from you. And I love you so, I love you so! Don't let him take me away, Marcel!" Historically, her fingers tightening upon his arm, tears filling her lashes with quivering liquid crystals. "Hush, hush, my love." he whispered back so softly. "No one shall take you from me—that I swear! And bending his head he tilted her face to kiss the glittering drops from her troubled eyes. "The Brink of Folly" was receiving the final touches of the brush by the fading light of a September afternoon. Suddenly the sound of a step along the passage outside sent Pipette springing to her feet, the soft sunset dreams of the past half hour dropping on her like the folds of a gossamer vell. "What was that?" The thumping of a fist upon the wooden panels, accompanied by a demand for entrance in a man's heart, his voice, broke sharply in upon them. "It's he—Poul. What shall I do? What can I do?" she pleaded wildly, an agony of fear in her voice, her eyes raised beseighestly to those of her lover. For one long paralyzing moment they stood facing each other in silence. Then, lifting her bodily in his arms, the man carried her across the room to where the now finished canvas stood propped against the easel. "Hide, quickly—behind the picture!" he commanded and stepped barrried back. The next instant the frail lock of the door gave way beneath the pressure of a heavy, lurching shoulder, and the tall figure of a man reed unsteadily into the room. "Ive got you now, my pretty one. You'll not escape me this time—you and your precious lover," he muttered thickly as he stumbled forward over the uneven floor, a sinister gleam flashing from some object which he held clasped in his right hand. Then catching sight of the pipette smiling whimsically across the darkened room, he halted abruptly as though hypnotised. The next moment he had sprung forward with the snarl of a wild beast and struck savagely at the canvas with the sharp blade of a stilleto. There was a shrill, terrified shriek as the hidden girl sank wounded to the ground, one little white arm fung out upon the floor beyond the edge of the mutilated picture. The silvery shiver in a poof of pink sunlight, the same little arm that Marcel had so often kissed. Then the fingers curled up like the petals of a rose, and were still—Chicago American. Musician's Misfortune One of the most notable cases of sudden loss of musical memory related is that of Emile Prudent. One day, in a concert, while playing his own concerto with orchestra, he lost all consciousness of the connection between the notes, and from that time he had music only as confused sounds; neither from his own playing nor from that of the orchestra could he gain a sense of idea, and that completely lost the ability to read the notes. From this attack, however, he soon recovered; the gravest symptoms disappeared the next day, but from that time he could play only from notes. Successful Phonograph-Clock A phonograph-clock has been perfected by Max Marcus, a German, after many years of labor. He is confident that his invention will come into general use. It not only keeps time to the second, but tells the time in a clear bartone voice. "Four o'clock," he says, "is the most difficult, but very pleasantly modulated tones, and the half and full hours may be repeated at will by the pressing of a button. The quarters are not spoken. Low Down. Baker—Is he a man of plebeian habits? Barker—Yes. He is willing to be seen in a New York church during the summer months—Life. Sure Sign. Mr. Subbubs—I'm afraid our garden is going to be a failure. Mrs. Subbubs—Why do you think so? Mr. Subbubs—Even the neighbors' chickens don't seem to take any interest in it—Judge. Speaking for Himself. Rankin—What do you think of the styles in women's dresses these days? Fyle-O, I roll at them—and admire them, just an other me do. Lemprecht. --- HAS ITS DARK SIDE Life of Opera Singer Not Always a Rose-Strewn Path. Some Earn Small Fortunes, But the Financial Demand Made Upon Them Are Many and Little Can Be Loved Away. What becomes of the big salaries paid grand opera singers? Surely the fortunate warblers must find it difficult to dispose of even a small fraction of their enormous incomes. At least that's the way it looks to ordinary folks. But it is perfectly clear to the star himself, or herself, just where, how and why the money goes. The grand opera singers explain, particularly illuminating, You hear," she says, "of this great tenor that superb soprano receiving as thousand dollars a night, but you are not told how few performances a star gives at this rate. Take a season at the Metropolitan, for example; if a star sings at 40 performances, which is the usual number, that completed the contract, unless the herr director is disposed to give one additional performance at $2,000 each is $4,000 for an American season. This covers a period of five months. Deduct from this living expenses which will average $300 per week (for an opera star must keep up appearances) and you have $6,000. Another $2,000 goes to coaches and accompanies. The throat specialist gets another thousand. Still another thousand is distributed around the theater to the society women with their pet charities must be placed and away goes a couple of thousand more. Another thousand goes to the musical journals and magazines for advertising. "Ten per cent, of the star's salary goes to the musical agency or agents who placed her and that means $4,000. With staircase fares and other expenses back to Europe, away goes another thousand. Madame must attend a concert in an opera house would dare to get along without one—and he contrives to separate her from $2,000 a year. Her maid and her secretary in five months get another thousand and so on until when madame strikes a balance she finds that for her entire American season she has the net sum of less than $400 a week for her work. She applies salaries are less than 60 per cent, of what they are in America. From Paris to Rome, to Milan, to Berlin, St. Petersburg, London, Amsterdam and a few more of 'be music centers, for a singer can pick up $10,000 gross for her European tour, she is doing well. And even at this amount she finds that her European appraisal is less than $10,000, though it is cabled back to America as one grand trumpet. "There is no money in grand opera except for the very few. It takes 10 years to get in. There are 10 years of golden opportunities, 10 years of genteel decadence and then the end. The opera star spends her last years trying to eke out an existence teaching vocal culture or playing accompaniments for abitious young artists. The most successful seminary she receives a pittance teaching French and Italian. Some of the most successful boarding houses in Paris are conducted by famous singers of long ago." Machine-Made Houses Two project of building houses in a day or two by pouring concrete into forms so set up as to make a mold for the entire building is now being realized both in this country and in Europe. The Popular Science Magazine says: "These poured concrete houses can be built quickly, the average time for the construction of each dwelling in one group of forty having been five days. In any locality where the materials for concrete are readily available, they cost less than houses built by any other substantial method of construction. They are fireproof, no noce or crevices to absorb germs, easily cleaned by removing the furniture and washing down with a hose, and therefore, more sanitary than buildings constructed with plaster walls and wooden floors and trim." Gold Bricks Out of Style The latest kink in gold smelting is to cast the gold in conical shapes instead of bars and bricks, with the express purpose of making it difficult for a thief to walk away with a cone. The cones are molded to almost any size, one measuring a foot in diameter on the base. Such a shape is extremely unwieldy. Slings and tongs have been designed to facilitate handling them in the smelting works, because they are so clumsy. A thief provided with such a sling would have an embarrassing time getting away with a cone in contrast to the brick that may be covered up to give it an appearance that will not rouse suspicion.—Saturday Evening Post. Equal Rights. "You say a pedestrian has right the same as a motor car?" asked the querulous person. "Certainly," replied the policeman. "Well, mebbe he has. But I can't say the same to me if I went along the street making the same kind of noise as some of these automobile horns." Literal. "Your majesty," said the adviser of George III., those traitorous colonists over in America are saying that you are no king pin in their establishment. What do you think ought to be done with them?" "Oh, hang them!" ejaculated the irritated monarch. "Well, that's his idea of putting it so sleep." Happiness is not realized by those who seek it as an end, but comes rather as a result of doing one's duty and work well. It is the right of every one to be happy. Children especially should be made happy, but many go too far in trying to gratify this desire by doing all in their power and allowing children to be passive and very critical agents. A healthy, normal child can make much of its own joy and will appreciate the efforts and results, rather than having some one slave for it. Money represents labor and power. The sooner a child is made to understand that money represents labor, the quicker is that child made useful and practical. Every child must be taught values, and the value of money is taught only by labor for it. Parents should have children earn their spending money by doing some regular work, no matter how trifling the duty is, it should be insisted upon. This renders two services; teaches industry and money value. A child who has parents giving and planning for it gets the habit of money coming easy; then comes along desire out of proportion to ability to earn or pay. The result of unsatisfied desires is unhappiness; unhappiness brings about schemes to bring "heart's desire", and often at any cost there is satisfaction. Sooner or later all of us find that either we must curb our desires or be unhappy. The parents who love their children so much that they give them everything they want are doing great harm. Small wonder that so many people find later in life that their parents caused their downfall by over-indulgence. Unless we are careful, very careful, and see the monster we are creating by our indulgences, we kill the thing we love by over-attention by being too good. The mother has such tender solicitude for the baby that she keeps it from the cold blast of air; and finally sees the ravages of pneumonia or tuberculosis take her darling. The parents love their child so much that they cannot say "no" to its wants and see them later leading "easy," but sad lives because they have not been taught that money represented labor. Learn yourself first that happiness does not depend upon material possession, not upon gratitude, desires, necessarily. Do not kill your child either physically or morally because you love it too much. Rugged minds and bodies and rugged characters are much to be desired. OTTUMWA, IOWA. Earl Wagner has returned home, after a pleasant visit in Kirksville, Mo. Faithful Few met with Mrs. Ivan Barquett. The society appropriated $2.00 for flowers and Mrs. M.

Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, persuaded me to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. After taking one dose of it I was cured. It also cured others that I gave it to," writes M. E. Gebhart, Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unusual. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost invariably be cured by one or two doses of this remedy. For sale by all dealers.
