Washington, D. C., Feb. 8.—In President Wilson's speech on Independence Day, July 4, 1914, he declared that it did not make any difference between one race and another, and that was why the United States had not set up any barriers against any particular race. On other occasions, especially when running for president of this country, he gave assurances that he would not discriminate against this race. Under the Republican administration it was customary to appoint race men to the positions that have been left vacant by resignation of one of their number. This phase has been turned completely around by the Democrats. The following race men have been succeeded by white men: William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general, $5,000; J. C. Napier, register of the treasury, $4,000; Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue at New York, $4,500; Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, $4,500; Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the navy department, $4,000; C. F. Adams, assistant register of the treasury, $2,500; Joseph Lee, collector of internal revenue, Jacksonville, $4,500; N. W. Alexander, register of the land office, $2,500; J. E. Rush, receiver of public moneys, Little Rock, Ark., $2,500; Charles Cottrill, collector of internal revenue, Honolulu, $4,500; T. V. McAllister, receiver of public moneys, Jackson, Miss., $2,500; Robert Smalls, collector of port, Beaufort, S. C., $1,500; James Cobb, special assistant district attorney, Washington, D. C., $2,000. Diplomats and consular service—Henry W. Furniss, envoy extraordinary and minister plenlpotentiary at Port au Prince, Hayti, $10,000; Geo. H. Jackson, consul, Cognac, France, $2,500; James W. Johnson, consul Corinto, Nicaragua, $3,000. DR. BROWN OF NEW YORK TALKS TO YOUNG MEN AT SUMNER HIGH. Dr. John Brown, Jr., M. D., secretary county work department of the Young Men's Christian Association, with headquarters in New York, talked to the young men of Western University and city last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Sumner high school auditorium. A large and appreciative audience were present to hear this intellectual speaker, who was here attending the state Y. M. C. A. convention. It was a great treat to those present and the young men, as well as many of the fathers, went away feeling that life is worth while living for. The cadets of the University came in a body and with their famous college band, under the command of their commandant, Major N. Clark Smith, redered a splendid musical program. Professor Neley, supervisor of our graded schools, presided. HOWARD DREW RACED TO ANOTHER, VICTORY. The speedy 100-yard champion, How ard Drew of the University of Southern California, came across the tape again at the indoor games in the New York Athletic club, five yards ahead of the field in the special 100-yard dash, which included Joe Loomis, Roy Morse, Frank Stephenson and Arthur Engles. Morse was second and Loomis third. Time, 10 seconds flat. Drew was in excellent form and when the three-quarter line was reached all were practically together, Drew wifi a wonderful sprint fairly flew over the boards. This is two victories for Drew in the East against the top-notchers in two weeks. JOHN QUARLES RESPONDS LAST BUGLE CALL. Comrade John Quarles, of 1020 New Jersey avenue, heard the bugle call for the last time on last Friday, the 4th, passing away at the Leavenworth Soldiers' Home. Mr. Quarles served four years in the Civil war, enlisting in 1860 and was mustered out in 1864. He came to Kansas in 1880 where he 1. VOL: -2. became prominent in public affairs. He remained here until a few months ago going to the Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth to spend his last days with his old comrades. Mr. Quarles was loyal to his family and a devoted Christian. The end came peacefully at 4 p. m. when the evening shades were casting their shadows on the western horizon. He leaves a faithful companion, relatives and a host of friends. His wife and relatives have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in their loss of husband, father and comrade. The funeral will be held Sunday at 1 p. m. from the C. M. E. church, Eighth and Oakland, Rev. Warfield officiating. Y. W. C. A. Miss Eva D. Bowles, the national secretary of the Y. W. C. A., will be at the association the last two weeks in February. The Glad Girls gave their second monthly party at the "Y." January 20th. Thirty-eight girls of grade school age were present. Miss Vandeveer told the story at the story hour on Sunday. Thirty girls enjoyed the story and extend an invitation to the girls of grade school age to attend the story hour at the association on Sunday from 4 to 5. The What-so-Ever club met at the association on Friday and completed plans for the basket and bag social which they have decided to give on the 22d of February. Mrs. Brown, Miss Godfrey and Miss Caution Davis are preparing a very interesting program. There will be a vesper service at the association Sunday at 3 o'clock. The Y. W. C. A. is not a creed and not a club, but a comradeship based upon the democracy of a common faith. Its object is to provide friendship for the lowly, recreation for the tired, physical training for the would-be-well and a home like residence for the away from home. HER-TRU-LINE, THE POPULAR HAIR DRESSING We especially desire to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement, in this paper of the Southern Medicine Co., of Atlanta, Ga. This company manufactures a high class hair dressing especially for colored people. The Southern Medicine Co., feeling the demand for a better class article and believing that our people were willing to pay for the best, they decided to spare no pains in putting on the market a hair dressing that would meet this high class demand. The Southern Medicine Co. is owned and controlled by men of more than 25 years actual experience in drug store work, compounding and dispensing physician's prescriptions and handling all kinds of toilet articles as well as patent medicines. Having had this wide experience they know best how to select the materials and combine them with that skill so much needed in the making of a first class article. The Southern Medicine Co. has many thousands of testimonials from the best colored people in every section, giving the highest praises for this high class hair dressing. This wonderful preparation is known as HER-TRU-LINE. In view of these facts we advise our people to investigate for themselves the merits of this high class preparation. KANSAS CITY, MO. The Greenwood Baptist church, Eighteenth and Terrace street, Kansas City, Rev. G. T. Mosby, D. D., will baptize with the Friendship Baptist church, Seventeenth and Tracy, the second Sunday, February 13th, at 2 p. m. Dr. F. K. White, D. D., of Oklahoma, will preach the baptismal sermon. Mrs. Katie Franklin, who has been sick for a year, died Wednesday week. The funeral was from the Greenwood Baptist church. Dr. G. T. Moshy officiated. The world renowned female singers will give a recital at the Greenwood Baptist church Thursday night, February 22d. Mr. Tilford Davis, of 1116 Washington boulevard, one of our popular mail carriers is still complaining. He fell several weeks ago affecting his spine greatly. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FEB. 11, 1916 Lincoln, Man of the People MANY REASONS WHY HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE TITLE OF TYPICAL AMERICAN. But, after all, in the legend we are making of Lincoln as typical American there is an instinct and a truth that are not superficial. All legend making is a profound process of national self-realization, an intuitive incarnation of national ideals, and in the case of Lincoln it is based upon the sincere, the religious democracy of this great man. The high distinction of mind as shown, for example, in the prose of the Gettysburg oration, the moral nobility, the introspective aloofness which were an essential part of him, only accentuate for us the warm nearness of his nature the common man and the common life. Lincoln himself held to the mystical conception of democracy which Whitman expressed in his poetry and which is the dream in the heart of Americanism. The essential brotherhood of man was an intimate and glowing reality to Lincoln, not a lofty abstraction, and though we betray it and misread it we must cling to it if we are to save the national soul. Idealizing ourselves through Lincoln is more than selfflattery. It is a crude but ignoble effort to express the deepest and most pervasive element of American idealism. LINCOLN'S PLACE IN HISTORY. Abraham Lincoln was one of the supremely great men of his day. He grows bigger and bigger all the time, and a thousand years from now his fame will be immensely vaster than it is at the present time. No man in all the tide of time ever filled a more difficult and trying place than he held for four years, and the verdict of history is that he measured squarely up to his tremendous responsibilities. It is doubtful if any other man in the country could have saved the day. No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. When the white man governs himself, that is self government, but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self-government—that is despotism. This government cannot ensure permanently half slave and half free. I have always thought that all men should be free, but if any should be slaves it should be, first, those who desire it for themselves and, secondly, those who desire it for others. Let us have faith that might makes right, and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it. Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed. Our fathers brought forth a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union and is not either to save or destroy slavery. THE OLD SHOE SHOP AT 1110 NORTH FIFTH STREET OCCU. PIED AGAIN. The many families in and around State, Nebraska and Fifth street are especially feeling good to have the little room at 1110 North Fifth street, where the late Mr. Winn so long met SAYINGS BY LINCOLN. the needs of the community and public in the repair of their footwear, is now occupied by another colored mechanic in leather goods. Mr. D. R. Green is the new proprietor of this old reliable shoe shop and it can be said with assurance that Mr. Green's practical experience of more than 20 years in the shoe repair business gives him an inside knowledge of leathers that few men in our city have. His workmanship is of the kind that pleases and one gets just what he orders. Mr. Green has not been here but a few days, but many of the old customers who patronized this shop for many years have already been in to see the new man on the bench, and it is a sure thing they will return again when in need of good, honest workmanship. We as a race should not sidestep, as many of us do, in patronizing this handy shoe shop. His prices are as low as any in the city and the quality will be just what Mr. Green tells you it is. The last meeting of the Citizens' Forum was so crowded that standing room was at a premium. President Marquess was present, but let the V. P., Mrs. W. Dwiggins, preside. Ex-Chaplain Frye offered prayer and the following program was rendered: 1. Music, Sumner High School Glee Club; 2. Quotations; 3. Current Events, led by Mrs. L. Buckner, followed by W. Rhodes, M. C. Matthews, Prof. Foster of Kansas City, Mo., and Prof. Dwiggins; 4. Vocal duet, Misses Z. Myers and B. Cannifax; 5. Address, "Health and Sanitation," Dr. John Brown of New York City (the metropolis of the world). Discussion, Dr. S. H. Thompkins of Kansas City, Mo.; 6. Vocal duet, "Norma," Mesdames Holmes and Davis, enced; 7. Critic's Report; 8. Chorus, Hark! Hark! Sumner Glee Club, enced. Next meeting Sumner Night School furnishes the program. Superintendent Pearson selected them to be with him, on which occasion he will address the Forum. All are invited at 4 p. m. promptly. Mr. and Mrs. Carson, rich farmers from Lawrence, were introduced to the Forum. LINCOLN DAY TO BE CELEBRATED AT TOPEKA—JUDGE BRADLEY AND PROF. KING ON PROGRAM. The Lincoln-Day Club of Topeka, Kansas, will render their annual Lincoln Day program tomorrow evening, Saturday, February 12th. in that city. The local committee has arranged one of the strongest programs in the history of the club. Many noted speakers, men and women of this state and Missouri, have been secured for this occasion. Judge I. F. Bradley and Prof. J. P. King of this city will be two of the speakers. Special arrangements have been made by the committee to take care and entertain their invited and visiting guests while in the city. A welcome invitation has been extended to all and this gathering of loyal and patriotic citizens of the race, will increase the candle power of a benighted people. Hon. T. W. Bell of Leavenworth, one of the country's foremost lawyers, is president of the club, and his annual address is expected to surpass any previous effort put forth by this noted barrister. THE MOULTON COFFEE AND TEA HOUSE. We have at 847 Minnesota a coffee and tea house, the only place in the city where you can get fresh roasted coffee every day. Coffee users will know the vast difference in a cup of coffee made from coffee roasted six months or a year ago, than the cup you drink from coffee roasted the same day you make a drawing. The Moulton house has also the best teas grown. You can get the best at a little less as the Moulton Coffee and Tea House. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH—DR. RANSOM RETURNS FROM BISHOPS' COUNCIL. Rev. J. R. Ransom returned last Saturday night from Nashville, Tenn., where he had been in attendance at the Bishop's Council. While in his native state he visited his birthplace and relatives, which he idly under the superintendency of Mr. Truman. CITIZENS' FORUM. Rev. Dr. Horsey had charge of the church in the absence of the pastor and everything moved along in the best of order. The services this Sunday will be extraordinary. the pastor will talk on his southern trip. FATHER SKINNER LAID TO REST. The funeral of Mr. Charles Skinner of 2812 North Seventh street, was held last Sunday at 2 p. m. from Dr. Richardson's church, Third and New Jersey, the pastor officiating. Father Skinner was one of our old and prominent citizens and was liked by everyone who came in his association. He leaves one son, three daughters and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The Advocate extends its sympathy to the bereaved family. THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. The Brotherhood met at 5 p. m. Sunday, February 6th. Topic, "Ideal Friendship." First Samuel, 20, 30-42. The discussion was opened by Deacon Walker, followed by Bros. Night, Blue, Downs, Rev Davis and Deacon Austin. The topic was very beautifully illustrated by them, showing the effect of true love and friendship. Topic, February 12, Temperance Lesson. Ephesians, 5; 6-21. Everyone is invited to be present. H. A. GEREN, Pres. H. MESLY, Sec'y. CARD OF THANKS. We kindly want to thank our friends and neighbors for their assistance and words of consolation during the illness and death of our daughter, Hazel Shinall-May. We also thank the West Daughters Tabernacle No. 63 for their kindness and sympathy. Also the many fine floral designs received. MAY YET BE KING OF SERBIA Possibility That Happening, Put Forth as Romance, May Be Turned Into Reality. It is an interesting coincidence that "The Lost Prince," Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's romance based on an ancient legend of Serbia, should have appeared at a moment when the actual lost prince in question is said to be living in New York. The legend, which Mrs. Burnett was told some years ago by a Serbian friend, referred to the old Serbian dynastic house of Lazar and it predicted the eventual return to power, after many tribulations, of the long-exiled heir of this house. The present head of the dynasty Is Prince Lazarovich-Hrebelianovich, who has now for some years been living in this country and whose wife, formerly Eleanor Calhoun of California, the actress, has published a volume of reminiscences entitled "Pleasures and Palaces." At this time of momentous change for Serbia it is quite within the range of possibilities that the old legend should come true and that the hero of Mrs. Burnett's romance, in the person of Prince Lazarovich's son Doushan, should win his throne in fact as well as in fiction. Rather Disappointing. The conversation having turned to keen disappointments, Charles M. Mellen, former head of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, recalled an incident along that line. Some time ago an elderly woman heard that a friend who lived in a distant city was very ill, and decided that it was her duty to go and see her. The next day she made the trip and was met at the door by the invalid. "Very well, indeed, Martha," answered the other. "In fact, I am nearly well now." "Nearly well!" exclaimed the caller in a disappointed voice. "And after me coming all this way to see you, too!"—Philadelphia Telegraph. Electric Steel Production. Electric steel appears to be making much progress in Germany. A report for 1914 shows the total production of crucible and electric steel to have been 184,400 tons and the electric product was nearly 90,000 tons-only 8,500 less than the output of crucible steel. And more electric furnaces were expected. Of the 20 plans producing electric steel eight were making high grade material to supplant crucible steel and 12 employed the electric furnace to melt ferro-manganese. The induction furnace was most used of the various types. NO.25 STATE CAPITAL NEWS TOPEKA, KANSAS. Mr. Elisha Scott is able to be out again after a week's confinement to his bed with an attack of la gripe. The executive committee of the Lincoln Day Club has completed arrangements for the meeting, which will be held in the Second Baptist church, Third and Quincy streets, Saturday evening, February 12. Among the able speakers who are expected to address the meeting. Prof. J. P. King, formerly a teacher in our public schools, is worthy of special mention. He is a very entertaining and eloquent speaker. It is to be hoped that no one will fall to attend this meeting. The president and his bride have come and gone. The attention given him was exceptional in that the Republicans and Democrats vied with each other to do him honor. His address on preparedness was listened to by the largest number that ever came out to hear a president. And this causes us to wonder whether it was he or his wife the people came out to see. He is the first president to visit our city having the good fortune to bring with him a bride. Some women serve as great drawing cards. The speech of the president, however, seems to have not gotten very far, as a delegation of 1,100 farmers in attendance at a farmers' congress, all of whom had good seats and heard every word the president said on the subject of preparedness, scarcely waited till he was out of town to adopt a resolution against his propaganda. Notwithstanding this, it must be conceded that the swing of the president around the country, with a new issue, one on which the Republicans are divided, just on the eve of a presidential election, is the act of a master politician. President Wilson's claim that he comes not as a "partisan politician" will be repudiated by his party if the measure goes through and will be claimed as a Democratic administration measure, entitling the president to re-election. And all assistance given the measure by Republicans will count for naught in the campaign. We did not say that Mrs. T. A. Bailey of whom we spoke in the last issue of the paper was now "visiting" at 711 West Fourth street, this city, but that she is residing there. Since the dominant portion of the Republican party seems disinclined to consider the colored man in its councils of close communion, why not have a convention or conference of colored men at an early date, and among ourselves take up and consider such matters as will be of interest to the race in general and the Republican party? The idea is worth thinking over. It might be well for the Lincoln Day Club to take some action along this line at its Saturday, February 12, meeting. Notwithstanding the fact that the censor board refused to allow the "Birth of a Nation" to be shown in this state, we see it billed for the Grand February 21-March 4. It might be well for the G. A. R., upon which the picture is a libel, as well as upon the colored people, to get busy. Mrs. Helen C. Jones and daughter, says "was one of the great pleasures of his life.

Mrs. Nellie Falls 314 Minnesota Avenue Kansas City, Kansas The effects of explosions in the surrounding area have been studied by Col. B. W. Dunn in preparing his table of rules for locating powder- houses for the United States bureau of mines, Blasting caps in number from 1,000 to 5,000 are not to be stored nearer than 30 feet to any building, 20 to any railroad, or 15 to any highway. For other explosives in quantity up to 50 pounds, the mini- mum distance is 200 feet to any build- ing, 120 to any railroad and 80 to any highway. Distances are specified for other quantities up to 200 to 250 tons, which require a distance of at least 5,110 feet from any building, 3,070 from any railroad and 2,040 from any highway. Formerly the Marquesans had such a barbarous manner vf doing their tat- too-work that it often took nearly six months to heal that which had been done in a single day. They covered the whole body of the males with crudely imitated rough designs, cir- cles, curves, and many designs of small work, including round and an- gular spots, even to the finger zails and the top of the head. Thus, begin- ning at virility, some were upwards of thirty years old before their tattooing was completed, Marquesan tattooing ‘was perhaps more remarkable in ap- pearance than that of any other priml- tive race. ‘The present status of knowledge re- garding the flora of the Philippines is reviewed in a recent paper by E. D. Merrill, in the Philippine Journal of Science. In the last fifteen years the number of known species of flowering plants has increased from 2,500 to more than 7,000, but it is probable that the total number is not less than 10,000.

The boys go and come in two long Mes attended by their teacher. They carry their own books and wear long trousers and fezzes ex- actly like their fathers. Some of the tiny girls carry their own little tables and drawing-boards.

Usually the holdup man’s way of getting the coin from the belated citizen is to put him to sleep with a crack on the bean. But the other night a New York journeyman high- wayman adopted a different method. He held up a preacher in a Harlem strect and with the ald of repartee and a gun made him come across with his roll, After the preacher had dug down in his jeans and given his money to the highwayman he rebuked the man for adopting that way of earning a living. “Can't help it, brother,” said the strong-arm man; “I need the coin. Lam only taking uy a collection; you can do the same, you know, and get away with it twice as easy as I can. ‘Thanks for the favor.” Women Construct War Machines. An exhibition of the work women are doing to replace the men who are at war is being held in Kensington, England. All that is best in women’s industry fs shown, including what is done in the home, in the munitions and Red Cross work and women’s abil- ity to provide new careers for others. One woman, a consulting engineer, demonstrates how the weldiag of cer- tain parts of the aeroplane is done by women. Careful and responsible work- ers are necessary, for the safety of the aviator depends on the women’s work. In Glasgow the women are in- structed in tram driving at the cor- poration school so that as male em- ployees leave for enlistment their places may be filled quickly. 4 \ For Quick Service and Prices that Are Right Bell Phone West 2411J. - | CALL E, W.

Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again,” the precise wording of which changes with almost’every quotation, has never been settled. It has been attributed to Stephen Grellet (1773-1855), an American Quaker of French birth; to Emerson, Sir Rowland Hill (1744- 1833), Marcus Aurelius, Addison, Car- lyle and others. On page 448 of W. Gurney Benham’s “A Book of Quota tions” (Lippincott, 1907) it may be found in clearer form, together with a skort history of the effort to trace it. According to a footnote in Bartlett's “Familiar Quotations” (1914) “I shall not pass this way again” was a saying of William Penn's. Composers of Noted Hymns. Silas Jones Vail, for a time a hatter] in New York, composed the music for} Faber’s beautiful hymn, “There's 3 Wideness in God’s Mercy,” and he also} set “We Shall Meet Beyond the Riv- er,” by the Rev. John Atkinson of New Jersey. Ithamar Conkey of Shutesbury, Mass. composed “Rath- burn” in 1847. He was tenor soloist in a New York church. George N. Allen, composer of the tune “Mait- land,” was a Massachusetts man who went to Ohio and composed a good many sacred songs and tunes. “Mait- land” {s sung to Thomas Scott’s “Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?” ‘Turn to Palnted Glass. The draftsmanship of the stained- glass window must always remain conventional, and bound by its own pe- cullar limitations; but the designer was seeking for a more plastic me- dium in which to express himself; and this he found in the invention of glass painting, or rather, transparent enameling, which gave his pencil greater freedom, even though it could not hope to equal the masterpieces of color of the older style. And so stained glass proper yields place more and more to painted glass, 'OYSTER MUST BE FROZEN Only Way to Make Sure of It. According to Veteran Captain Who Ought to Know. Now, who would think it would be necessary to freeze an oyster in order to place it in a state of suspended animation? According to our human ideals, it would seem that even the liveliest and most exuberant of oysters would, in its normal existence in a shell nalled down to a reef at the sea's bottom, approach the condition of "suspended animation" as nearly as anything could approach it. That certainly sounds like about the zero of activity. But take it from old Cap'n Ockers of West Sayville, who has hobnobbed with oysters all his life, they are a smooth lot. You may think that they're immobile, but just take your eyes off 'em a minute if you dare! The only way to make sure of 'em is to freeze 'em. Once into the ice box with 'em and their animation is suspended all right. But, on Cap'n Ockers' word, this is the only way to be sure of making port without danger of mutiny on the part of your catch. We believe that, as was to be expected from one whose years have been spent in such close communion with the deceitful bivalve, the Cap'n even has some theories regarding the possibility of translating it to immortality through the process of refrigeration. But the soul of the oyster is too esoteric a subject for us. 'We quit at suspended animation—in the stew. FORCES THAT ARE ETERNAL Time and Love the Two Things With Which All on the Earth Must Reckon. Time and love are the two forces that are eternal and ever new, that cannot be killed or erased. They move on in cycles for all eternity. Without love this great, beautiful world would soon wither and decay. Therefore love is the sum total of these things. It spells homes, firesides, society and civilization. Look into the fireside lamps which should be kindled in every room in the home, and if you find the oil of love ebbing away hurry to replenish the lamps before the flickering flame goes out. Many serious faces tell the story of starving for love, the most precious and valued thing in the world. This means you, Mr. Bachelor. If you are comfortable in your library you have no reason to pat yourself/on the back because you feel that you can get on without the love which a happy, sympathetic companion can bring you. The time will come when the flickering embers will cast their shadows, showing you the lost opportunities. The same advice holds for you, Miss Bachelor Girl. Do not let your ability and capacity of providing for yourself delude you into thinking that you are self-sufficient. Your plans and aspirations may be all you need now, but the time may come when you will understand that it is this thing called love which keeps a woman's face soft and her heart young. Status of Japanese Women. While women now form a large proportion of the wage earning population of Japan it is largely the result of economic conditions rather than an adoption of new theories as to woman's place. But in the present state of affairs in Japan it is only economic independence that can save a woman from a distasteful marriage, and often even the avidity to earn a mere pittance makes the greatest difference in a woman's life. Many progressive women declare their belief that every Japanese woman should be given a training of commercial value for which there is a market, and point to the fact that even a thorough knowledge of English places a girl on a separate plane, giving her a "weapon to defend herself in her fight for independence." Arranging Irish Marriages. Law Notes says that a case tried before the recorder of Galway, Ireland, not long ago, revealed that marriages among the peasantry in the country districts are often arranged after a personal investigation has been made in behalf of one or the other parties to the match as to the means of the other. In the case before the court it appeared that the husband investigated the stock, goods and chattels on the farm belonging to his intended wife and was apparently satisfied, but later discovered that the sheep and other live stock were borrowed from neighbors to make a good showing on the occasion of his visit. The court held that it had no power to grant relief to the extent of annulling the marriage. Too Much for Engineers. Some forty years ago some Englishmen proposed to dig a canal on the northwest coast of Africa, south of Morocco, to admit the waters of the Atlantic into the Sahara desert. It was argued that a great inland sea would thus be created and that ocean vessels might steam into Africa and pick up cargoes along the western Sudan. This fine idea was based upon the prevalent notion that most of the desert surface was much below sea level. It was discovered later that most of the desert stands high above the sea. It would take hard pumping to transfer much Atlantic water into the Sahara. PEASANT WITH TRUE VISION Traveler Heard Robert Burns Praise Washington, the American, for His Patriotism. A traveler exploring the wild beauty of the Caves of, Colzean in Scotland met a young pessant, who astonished him by his poetic description of the scene, according to Hugh Miller's "Tales and Sketches" published in Boston half a century ago. A discussion of literature and philosophy, as well as nature, is concluded as follows, an exchange remarks: "Man," said my companion, "should love his species at all times, but it is ill with him if in times like these he loves not his country more. The spirit of war and aggression is yet abroad; there are laws to be established, rights to be defended, invaders to be repulsed, tyrants to be deposed. And who but the patriot is equal to these things? We are not yet done with the Bruces, the Wallaces, the Tells, the Washingtonss—yes, the Washingtonss, whether they fight for us or against us—we are not done with them. But we are getting ashamed of our country, of our language, our manners, our music, our literature; nor shall we have enough of the old spirit left us to assert our liberties or fight our battles. Oh, for some Barbour or Blind Harry of the present day, to make us once more proud of our country!" I quoted the famous saying of Fletcher of Saltoun, "Let me make the songs of a country, and I will let you make its laws." "But here," I said, "is our lugger stealing round Turnberry Head. We shall soon part, perhaps forever, and I would fain know with whom I have spent an hour so agreeably, and have some name to know him by. My own name is Matthew Lindsay. I am a native of Irvine." "And I," said the young man, rising and cordially grasping the proffered hand, "am a native of Ayr. My name is Robert Burns." WONDERFUL INSECT IS FLY Nuisance, and a Menace to Human Life, but Well Worth the Most Careful Study. Kill a fly, but study him. He is a wonderful creature, though a menace and a nuisance, writes Garrett P. Serviss. His muscles are as strong as steel; his nerve action is as quick as lightning. If you were proportionately as strong as a fly you could seize a beam over your head with your hands, and, with two tons of iron fastened to your feet, easily raise yourself, together with the attached weight, from the floor. This calculation is no mere guess; it is based upon experiments made by the Belgian naturalist, Felix Plateau, who harnessed insects and small animals of many kinds, in very ingenious ways, to ascertain their strength. Likewise, if a fly were as big as a man, and retained his relative strength, he could kill tigers with his hands and split asunder the jaws of lions with much more ease than Samson did. If you were as quick as a fly you could let an oncoming express train, traveling a mile a minute, come within a foot of your nose and then dodge it. Strike at a fly that is lazily circling with a playmate before your eyes and observe with what nonchalant ease he avoids your blow and instantly returns to his play. Time Lock Universal Practically all the modern safe deposits possess time locks. These timepieces operate from one hour to three days. When the doors are closed the timepiece is set, and on no account can the doors be reopened until the clock has run its allotted time. The other week a clerk overwound the timepiece at a well-known safe deposit, with the result that the renters could not gain access to their safes until late in the afternoon. Anyone, of course, can hire a safe in a public safe deposit by paying the necessary rent. Each renter is supplied with his own key, and if he loses it his safe has to be broken open, for the company does not possess duplicate keys. New Discovery in Iron. Very pure iron in tubes and other forms is a French factory's electrolytic product from a basis of ordinary castiron. To cause a deposition of iron on the surface, the negative pole is rotated in a solution of ferrous salt, which is kept neutral by iron turnings placed at the bottom of the tank, and by adding iron oxide as depolarizer. The electrolytic iron deposited, very hard at first, becomes soft and malleable, with the giving off of some gas, on annealing. A rod being used as core, iron pipes are produced direct, and the production of sheet iron, without rolling, is expected and is looked upon as very valuable for electrical machinery. Mysterious Vanished Race. All that is ever likely to be known of the aborigines of Newfoundland has been printed by an antiquarian who has made these vanished people the study of his life. These mysterious people were it appears, not Eskimos like some of the tribes in "Doctor Grenwell's parish," across the strait in Labrador. The Eskimo has a squat body, a flat face and a nose hardly large enough to be called such. But this race was tall and long limbed, while such skulls as have been preserved show the bones of noses rather of the Roman than the Tartar sort.

The aim of human life, no doubt, is happiness. But after all, what is happiness? Efficiency, wealth, material comfort? Many by their lives do so affirm; few are cynical enough to say so; and on their deathbeds none will feel so. Not even freedom in itself brings happiness. Happiness lies in breadth of heart. And breadth of heart is that inward freedom which has the power to understand, feel with, and, if need be, help others. In breadth of heart are founded justice, love, sacrifice; without it there would be no special meaning to any of our efforts, and the tale of all human life would be still no more than that of supremely gifted animals, many of whose communities are highly efficient, and have instinctive unity founded on experience of its utility, but none of that conscious altruism which is without perception of future benefit to sell and works from sheer recognition of its own beauty.—Atlantic Monthly. ex --- Bell, West 906.

Days Gone By as Necessary Part of Important Industry. Among unconsidered trifles may be included the scales of fish. Of-value and utility to the owner during its sojourn in the vasty deep, the scales are ignored after capture as good only for the manure heap. But it was not ever thus. In days gone by fish scales possessed a real value, notably those of roach, bleak, dace and whitebalt. Older writers tell us how the scales of these fishes were collected and used in the manufacture of necklaces, earrings and such-like ornaments. The Thames fishermen used to catch the fish, take off the scales, and throw the body back into the river. A pigment was obtained by treating the scales in a certain fashion, white-bait being the most popular fish used for the purpose. So great, formerly, was the demand at times that the price of a quart of fish scales varied from one to five guineas. This treatment of fish scales for making small personal adornments is attributed to the French. A Parisian artist one winter, it is said, used thirty hamperfuls of bleak scales in the course of manufacture. Today, however, the industry is practically extinct.—London Tit-Bits. Simple Barometer. Directions for converting a burned-out incandescent light bulb into a barometer that will foretell changes in the weather with remarkable success are given in the Youth's Companion. Place a discarded bulb under water in a deep basin, and after protecting the hands against danger from broken glass, break off the pointed bit of glass at the very end of the bulb with a pair of pliers. As soon as an opening is made in the glass, the bulb will fill with water, which rushes in to take the place of the vacuum. Tie a cord or stout string about the neck of the bulb and hang it on a book or nail. If the weather is to be fine no water will drop from the hole at the bottom of the bulb. When the water begins to bulge out of the opening until drops fall from the bulb you may expect a change in the weather. Atmospheric pressure governs the action of this simple barometer. When the pressure increases—a sign of fair weather—it pushes the water back from the mouth of the bulb, and no drop can form; when it falls, the water expands through the opening until a few drops fall. As lower pressure nearly always precedes a change of weather, a drip from the bulb usually indicates a coming storm. On Speaking English. It should be a point of science with those who can speak English perfectly to do so in all their associations with newcomers. A foreigner who is trying to better his knowledge of the language will be grateful for the opportunity to hear clear, careful and correct speech, and each conversation is a lesson. The best English of America is as good as any English, but the tongue is greatly exposed here to the corruption which comes from imperfect assimilation. It is the more important for the majority to whom English is the mother tongue to do their best to keep it in purity. Incidentally in trying to help foreigners to acquire a good accent they will greatly better their own speech—Springfield Republican. THE NEGRO MAGAZINE.

Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books By Sidney C. Tapp, Ph.D. "The Truth About the Bible" about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy- hundred pages. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the human body and the show that the Bible is a book of sex a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the origi- nial cause of death. They are arresting the attention of a scien- tific, philosophical and taeological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of human race than any books ever written. They are dally going to the great think- ers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the human intellect staggers under the reason of Ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in the book on the Bible will never die."—Prof. J. Silas, A. M. Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our innate institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. W. A. Thompson, M.D. W. A. A. Swan, M.D. S. M. Milton, M.D. H. F. Mikel, A. B. M.D. Theodore F.

He then but showeth us those parts which are no whit his own, and hideth those from us by which alone his worth is to be judged. It is the goodness of the sword you seek after and not the worth of the scabbard; for which peradventure you would not give a farthing if I want its lining. A man should be judged by himself and not by his complements. What mind hath he? Is it fair, capable and unpolluted, and happily provided with all her necessary parts? Is she rich of her own or of others' goods? Hath fortune nothing of hers to survey therein?—Montaligne.

Massenet dreaded the first performance of his operas so much that he usually left the city and hid until they were over. In a recently published book, "Souvenirs de la Vie de Theatre," Pierre Berton tells of meeting him the night before the production of his "Roi de Lahora," and congratulating him on the success that was sure. He was astonished at the weary, melancholy attitude of the composer, "Massenet silently took off his hat, and pointed with his finger at his heir.

MORE UPHEAVALS MAY COME Abundant Proof That Nature's Resistless Forces Have Not Been Forever Quited. The Wazatch mountains, once a level plain and formed through some gigantic upheaval of nature, are still restless, showing that the process of nature which carved the peaks and canyons is still in progress. During the long period of slow earth movement which made these mountains, flat-lying parallel beds of rock were locally turned on edges, crumpled and folded in a wonderfully intricate manner. These upturned and crumpled rocks are well shown in Ogden canyon. The west face of the Wasatch range is believed to mark the plane of a normal earth fault at a nearly vertical crack in the earth's crust, the rocks on the east side of which went up or those on the west side went down. A number of parallel faults, were developed close together and the broken pieces of the earth's crust between them were pushed up, the rocks on one side of each crack riding up over those on the other side until the great mountain range was formed. RED ALWAYS DANGER SIGNAL Excellent Reasons Why That Color Should Have Been Selected for the Purpose. Everywhere you turn, red is used to signify danger. As tall-lamps to motors and trains, at torn-up streets, red lights universally announce "Danger!" Why is red used in preference to any other color? There is a very good and sufficient reason for this. Red, no matter how distant, never ceases to appear red. It retains its color better than any other, and plays no illusionary tricks with your eyesight. Enjoying normal weather conditions the ranges of colored lights in use on the railways are recognized as follows: Red, $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ miles; green, $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ to 3 miles; lunar white, 2 to $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ miles. It will be seen that red is far ahead of its fellows. Green, its nearest rival is, of course, the color of which nature makes such extensive use. Consequently, green is much more liable to become absorbed in any background than red. That is why red takes pride of place.—Answers. Able to Defy Burglars. The story of the strong room is nothing more than one long fight between the safemaker and the burglar. But at last the vault maker would appear to have won, and it is the boast of experts that many of the strong rooms found in the more up-to-date safe deposits, banks and other institutions are not only burglar-proof, but proof against attack by armed mobs and also from earthquake shocks. Their great steel walls are absolutely undrillable on account of the hardness of the metal employed, while by welding the plates together it is virtually impossible to burn through them. Then, by means of time and combination locks, it is impossible to open the doors without a key and a knowledge of the combination, once they are closed. As a further precaution, many of these strong rooms are so designed that an electrical alarm is sounded should attack be made upon them, or the basement in which they are situated is flooded with water the moment their mechanism is tampered with. Composers of Hymn Tunes. Frequent study has been made of the writers of famous hymns, but less heed has been given to the makers of the tunes which have often been the means of carrying the words into universal use. A tune is easier to learn by ear than words are, and thus a singer may have recourse to a book for words without heeding the score for the melody. But after all, our associations with hymns are quite as apt to be with the music as with the words; and the writers of our best hymn tunes are often eminent composers. Among the obscurer composers of hymn tunes that have lasted long the Christian Work mentions Isaac Baker Woodbury of Beverly, Mass., who began his career as a blacksmith's apprentice. His interest in churchgoing brought him at last to an interest in music, and he even studied in Europe and was an associate of the better known musicians of the day. His tune called "Siloam," sung to Heber's "By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill," is known to most churchgoers. Men Who Wear Feathers. Among the strange tribes of men about whom little is known are the Chamacocos of the region about the upper Paraguay river. Although the Chamacocos wear but little clothing they excel in the art of making personal adornments from the feathers of birds. Their country abounds with birds of the most beautiful plumage, including parrots, toucans and trogons, whose feathers are dazzling in color; rheas, with gray plumes; musk ducks of a glossy black color, egrets with feathers of pure white, and spoonbills of a delicate pink hue. All this wealth of color and graceful plumage is combined by the Chamacocos in a most artistic manner. Some of these savages walk their forest glades in colors more brilliant if less ample than any woman's dressmaker could produce. WESTERMANN BROS.

Use Persian Cream, the New Hair Dressing—Read These Facts. First—It is the greatest hair Pomade in the world, and the only Pomade of its kind on the market. Second—That it straightens kinky hair without hot irons, and does the work in ten minutes; that it prevents falling hair as soon as it is applied to the hair, and that it contains wax, and that wax treats the hair the same as it would a thread, making it tough, and it refuses to come out or break off, and that it makes the hair soft, brilliant and beautiful. Third—Be careful about getting the Pomade on the face, as it will promote the growth of hair anywhere. Fourth—That it grows more hair in shorter time because it stops it from coming out and at the same time makes it grow. * * * Fifth—That it can be used with hot irons if desired and that it will not require another straightening in six weeks with Hot Irons. * * * Sixth—That it makes the hair waterproof, therefore the hair is not affected by damp days, as is the case with all other so-called Pomades. Seventh-That Persian Cream contains no vaseline or petroleum jelly, and is guaranteed by the Rankin Manufacturing company under the Pure Food and Drugs Act of Congress. --- Persian Cream acts instantly—one application stops the head from itching and freshens up the hair.

I went with my lantern into Ze's little hut; I sat down by the fire, and there was the family too, writes Jean Kenyon Mackenzie, in the Atlantic. Mendom was heating some water in a big black kettle. The youngest Mpioga, still without teeth, was howling in the arms of little brother. Presently to the light of my lantern Mendom brings her three-year-old; she empties her hot water into a wooden bowl; with a sponge of crushed leaves she washes first one little foot and then the other. Kid howls. His feet are sore, poor little duffer—he holds out his hand for his father to hold. Mother is relentless until both feet are soaked; then she opens a little leaf packet; there is salve made of the bark of the redwood tree; she adds a little palm oil to this, and very carefully she anoints the little feet. The sobs subside and the child walks on his hips. Now the mother pours more water into the bowl, takes the fretful baby out of the hands of little brother, stands the weeny thing in her belt of beads on the clay floor and swabs her down with water. There is the familiar initial gasp. With her maternal hands she cleanses that little person all glittering with wet, and she says, looking at me and smiling, "God has sent me much trouble." And the father says, apropos of nothing, "All those have been baptized." I sit on my stool by the fire and feel steeped in the most human domesticity. Everywhere in the world at this hour little children are whimpering over their evening ablutions. It is a mistake to think that any child of a good mother escapes. So much for the illusions of little boys who would like to be heathen.
