KANSAS Vol. XII RAISING STANDARD OF CITIZENSHIP GEORGIA COUNTY SETS EXAMPLE Washington Oct. 8.—Possibly the most effective method of decreasing illiteracy and raising the standard of citizenship among the adult population is the splendid work now in progress in Bibb County, Georgia, located about 75 miles southeast of Aalanta, where classes for adult literates are being systematically conducted under an appropriation of $80 a month, made to the Bibb County Commissioners of which Prof. Eugene Anderson (white) is chairman. Of this amount, $75 is paid to a student of Mercer University, who supervises the work, and whose duty it is to organize the illiteracy classes in the various sections of the county and to provide students from the University whose services are given without cost. During the past four years fully 7,500 men and women have been taught to read and write and a system of continuation schools to carry them further is being planned. In 1920 Bibb County had a population of 71,304, of whom 33,025 or 46 per cent were colored. Of the inhabitants 10 years of age and over, illiterates numbered 7,631 of whom 6,896 were colored and 735 white. If this practical and very inexpensive system can be established in other Georgia counties and in other southern states the result will be far reaching in its effect, economically and otherwise.

Motion Picture Education Two hundred reels of motion picture film and 9,400 slides are distributed by the visual Instruction service of the University of Oregon. These present historical scenes, classical drama, art, fairy stories, birds and animals, rocks and minerals, fish and plant life, and other subjects. They are widely used by communities and schools throughout the state. Columbus Had No Bananas Columbus had no bananas when he visited this country, the story saying that he did being denied by Dr. W. E. Safford, economic botanist of the United States Department of Agriculture, who declared that the fruit was brought to this country 24 years later. Long Railway Platform The world's longest railway platform, the total length of which is 2,175 feet, has been created through the linking up of the Victoria and Exchange stations at Manchester. Boon for the Lazy Rubber shoe strings, which are sold to stretch so that one can remove low shoes without unlacing them, have been put on the market by a British manufacturer. Ulster's Patriotism Ulster was the best recruiting ground for the British army in 1924. There were 241 recruits for every 100,000 of population. London came next with 229 per 100,000. Oil Tractors Nearly forty makes of gasoline and kerosene tractors were exhibited at the annual exhibition of the Royal Agricultural society of England this year. South African Gold Although more gold was taken from South African mines this year than last, the yield in the last six months was valued at nearly $1,000,000 less because of the decline in the value of the metal. Blows Himself to Health To faithful indulgence in cornet playing every day at noon a Montreal man ascribes the perfect health which has enabled him to keep consistently at his work for upwards of sixty years. Farmers of Spain, in the last five years, have not received sufficient prices for grain to pay for the production. Polish Canals Poland's proposed canal system will provide a westward water route for agricultural yields and one eastward for industrial products. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Y. M. C. A. NOTES Rev. W. H., Peck, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church says: "I take this method of expressing my personal appreciation of the Y. M. C. A. To my mind the "Y" has been and is doing the most effective "Boy's Work" of any agency among us. It is worth all that has been invested in plants throughout the country to save our boys. I am of course not unmindful of the great work among men, but above all hats off to the "Y" for what it is doing for the boys. Be a member of an institution that stands for the best and most wholesome environment for men and boys by joining the Young Men's Christian Association. The service of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. is not limited by state line. Boys and men of Kansas City, Kansas, and near-by cities are as welcome as those near. The Young Men's Christian Association is a world movement. The campaign begins the 9th of October. Be among the first to join. Call Grand 0885 for information or come and get your membership. CUTTINGS Talk often, but not long. Reflect before criticizing. Love is the tyrant of the heart. Buried hopes need no tombstones. A man's past is the best prophet of his future. Setting a good example is like walking the tightrope. We excuse vanity in artists, but not much anywhere else. Don't be afraid to use good advice for fear of spoiling it. Intervention in love is equivalent to a declaration of war. The man who owes for his hat is over head and ears in debt. Sympathy for a man after he's down is a twin brother to mockery. If a man is always on the go he seldom stops when he gets there. Primitive man may have gone to bed earlier, but he got up at sunrise. Why does a poor man doubt a rich man who says his wealth is a curse? When a girl thinks a man doesn't care for her she begins to try to make him. There is more money to be made by amusing people than by instructing them. If a word to the wise is sufficient most wives must consider their husbands fools. There are few really good actors—persons who can express emotions that everybody feels. Don't figure on marrying a model wife unless you are an artist and understand figures. Movies introduced millions of people to the drama that hadn't known much about it before. By simply doing something difficult that circumstances compel you to, you discover that you can. Some young wives love old husbands because of their ability to transform them into rich widows. History Records Only Four "Perfect Women" Some time ago a correspondent inquired of the editor as to who were the "four perfect women." The question proved a difficult one and for a time appeared to be one of those "catch questions" which people sometimes employ to prove that editors do not "know beans," but we have found in an interesting commentary by a famous Arabian a statement to the effect that "among man there have been many perfect men, but no more than four of the other sex have attained perfection." The four perfect women referred to by the Arabian were Asla, wife of Pharaoh; Mary, mother of Christ; Khadijah, the Prophet's first wife, and Fatima, who was Mahomet's lovely daughter. Possibly this is the answer to the inquiry. If it is not "we give it up," for in all other history with which we are at all familiar perfection is not ascribed to any woman and to only one man. Even He did not claim perfection for Himself.—Bellingham (Ala.)

The annual conference of Kansas, which closed last Sunday night at Emporia, finished strong in all of its reports. Bishop A. J. Carey, presiding was not at himself physically, he having a severe case of lumbago, but at that he presided at every session. The session was one of the best in attendance and entertainment that has been seen in an annual meeting. Rev. R. S. Everett and his members and friends took care of their guests admirably well and were praised on every hand. St. John's choir 'of Topeka, rendered the music at Sunday morning's service and Parsons' choir at 3 p. m. at the dedicatory service. Rev. A. Wayman Ward, of Denver, Colorado, preached the ordination sermon at 11 a. m. The assignments were made Sunday evening, which seemed to be quite satisfactory. Wichita is to be supplied and also the presiding elder for that district. APPOINTMENTS OF THE KANSAS CONFERENCE Topeka district, J. T. Smith, P. E.: Topeka, J. R. Ransom; Lawrence, T. J.

Fees, of Ohio. A bill covering the proposal has been introduced in Congress by Representative Will R. Wood, of Indiana, and hearings have been had before the joint committee on the library. The measure in Congress aims to create a national memorial commission to promote development of the building project as a tribute to the loyalty, devotion, fortitude and bravery displayed by Negroes in service of the army and navy from the colonial period through the World War. Resolutions of the Baptist cited the record of 3,000 colored soldiers and sailors in the Revolutionary War; 3,000 in the War of 1812; 178,895 in the Civil War; 13,617 in Spanish-American War, and 400,000 under arms during the World War period.

Bowers will be returned back to St. Peters for another year. WEST VIRGINIA COLORED FARMERS Washington, October 8.4 Since January 1, 1920, more than 200 colored farmers have located in the State of West Virginia, principally in Barbour, McDowell, Greenbrier, Fayette, Raleigh, Berkeley, Grant, Taylor and Pendleton counties. Although sufficient tests have been made of the truck-producing qualities of the soils to show that if a supply far in excess of the State's demand might be produced at home, vegetables valued at more than $5,000,000 are annually purchased from other states and distributed to consumers in the towns and cities of West Virginia. Adjoining states also furnish most of the larger towns and cities with much of their supply of cream, butter and milk, and it is because of these conditions that efforts are being made to increase the agricultural resources of the State. yard, Sister M.

Washington, October 8.—In agreement with the action of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association, a national conference on colored work has been called to meet in this city, October 21, at the Twelfth Street Branch Association to continue in session, three days. It will be the weny-first national conference on this work, the last having been held in Cincinnati four years ago. There are 140 associations serving colored students, and the national conference is called for iterested secretaries and laymen of both races who will be expected to discuss programs of expansion and further policy. Dutch Cremationists Celebrate Anniversary In Holland there has just been celebrated a curious jubilee—the fiftth anniversary of the Dutch Society for Optional Cremation. Since this society was founded a radical change of view has taken place in orthodox Protestant circles in favor of cremation. In 1876 a petition was sent to King William III and the second chamber requesting a revision of the law regarding burials and the introduction of a special authorization of cremation. Every year the petition was renewed but no answer was ever made to it. Only in 1918 was the first Dutch crematory at Westerveld, near Haarlem, opened, though cremation was not yet recognized by law. When Doctor Valliant, the oldest member of the society died in April, 1914, at the age of ninety-six, it was decided to cremate his remains, thus making a test case. The state prosecuted the society but the supreme council of the Netherlands, after a long procedure, decided that cremation was not punishable. Since then the earthly remains of many Hollanders have been committed to the fires in the furnaces at Westerveld. Limburger:Statistics About 922,000 pounds of limburger cheese were confined in storage in the United States on the first of July, or nearly 200,000 pounds more than last year. Bracelets of Hair Elephant-hair bracelets are being worn as luck charms in London. STATE FEDERATION PRESIDENT MAKES STATEMENT STATE FEDERATION PRESIDENT MAKES STATEMENT ORGANIZED COLORED WORKERS LOYAL Washington, Oct. 8. At the forty-second annual convention of the Ohio State Federation of Labor, recently held at Steubenville, Ohio, President John P. Frey, in speaking of the attitude of the Federation towards wage earners, declared: "We are charged with endeavoring to prevent colored men from becoming members of our organization. It is put into their minds that we do not take them into our Trade Union Movement, or, if we are compelled to do that, that we treat them with indifference and keep them to one side. There is no group of workers in this country occupying a more unfortunate position than those of colored skins, whose hearts and whose ideals and ambitions are the same as our own. I have been familiar with organized wage-earners and I want to say to you that not only in the conduct of their organization, but in every other particular, I know of no more loyal Trade Unionists than the representatives of that race. I know something about the situation they occupy as American citizens. They are as welcome a part of our Trade Union Movement as any other. If there is a movement in this country which has done something more than all others to bring about the true spirit of Americanization, it is this Trade Union Movement of ours. We have done more to bring about the belief that every man is entitled to the same consideration as any other man than any institution in the United States."

As he reached the beautiful Mourne mountains near Kliekeel he stopped at the foot of the hill leading upward to his old home and after a few seconds dropped dead. Physicians say his death was caused by the emotional excitement and joy which were too much for his physical condition at his age.

THE KANSAS:CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, October 4th, the first Sabbath in the month, was a little chilly but many assembled at Metropolitan Baptist Temple. At 11 a. m., Pastor Bronson preached a good sermon. In the second offertory, the financial thermometer arose from zero to 125 degrees. The fine Sunday school and the interesting B. Y. P. U. are the auxiliaries which help the church's spiritual growth. At 8 p. m., Pastor Bronson preached another fine sermon on the text, "But now is Christ Risen from the Dead, and Become the First Fruits of them that Slept." He made it very plain that no matter who try to say otherwise, the Bible and noted historians have proven that Christ died on the cross and arose from the dead as He said. After this wonderful sermon, he administered sacrament to the hundreds of members present. Only one beautiful hymn was sung while the bread was being broken. After the Lord's supper, they sang a hymn and went out. Next Sunday, October 11th, Revival Services were announced to begin. The pastor wants over 100 at the sunrise prayer meeting. He talked as if a new minister might be here to preach. The financial thermometer arose to near $200 and the other collection was around the $100 mark. Come to Metropolitan church and take part in the services. Mr. I. V. Brown on Washington boulevard was reported sick from getting hurt at his work. MOUNT ZION BAPTIST CHURGH Sunday, September 27th, was a high day at Mount Zion Baptist church, corner of Fourth street and Virginia avenue. The eight clubs in the financial drive of only two months, under our new and wonderful leader, Rev. H. D. Allen, reported $1,443.07. Club No. 3, Mrs. Lucy Greer, captain and Alexander Robinson, general, was awarded first place, with $318.30, receiving $50 for their faithful and loyal service. Mrs. Greer thanked them for her $25 and then give it back to the church. Mr. Robinson took his $25 and stated he would give a banquet to the church soon, during the pastors installation, which will close the 4th Sunday in October. Club No. 1, led by Mrs. A. E. Anderson, was a close second, reporting $309.15. The other clubs reported as follows: $168, $152, $75, $73, $68. $38. The new pastor, Rev. Allen, played the part of a Joshua, in bringing Mt. Zion from a very low ebb and even a split to such a high standard in so short a time. Debts are being paid off that has been standing for five years. This church seemed to know what they were doing and the Lord was in it when they called this great man from Sherman, Texas, for all the people have a mind to work. We had with us Sunday, 3 p. m., Rev. Winston and his congregation of Trinity A. M. E. Church. Rev. S. Montgomery and his congregation from King Solomon Baptist church and Rev. Geo. McNeal and his congregation. Dr. McNeal is the father of this church. Rev. Montgomery preached a wonderful sermon at 3 p. m., and the clubs raised 68. Rev. Allen preached Sunday evening, subject, "This Thing Was Not Done in a Corner." Many shouts and amens. Each member and friend who helped in anyway in this drive were thanked by the pastor, captains and generals for their loyal support. The pastor and members of Mt. Zion extend a cordial welcome to all visitors and friends to all of our services. TRINITY INSTITUTIONAL A. M. E. CHURCH The pastor preached the morning and evening sermons.

FAIR'S BIG STRIDES IN POPULAR FAVOR In 1810, one fair; in 1925, 2,000 fairs. In 1810, an attendance of about 5,000; in 1925, an estimated attendance of approximately 25,000,000. These figures in a nutshell tell the story of the marvelous growth of the American fair from the humblest beginning to its present-day status as an important factor in agricultural education, says the Frankfort Evening News. While the fair idea has been taken hold of tremendously in the United States, it is not native to this country. Fairs run back to ancient days, but in the olden times they were more after the manner of the bazaar or market, only held with less frequency, very much like the fairs in vogue in Germany and other European countries today. The American fair traces its ancestry back only to about the middle of the Eighteenth century, when a group of progressive farmers in the Tees river valley in northwestern Britain joined to bring their live stock together for comparison. It has been termed the first agricultural fair and was the model after which were patterned the hundreds of county-fairs both here and in England. GATHERED GEMS Health is the vital principle of bliss. —Thomson. In excessive altercation, truth is lost.—Syrus. No man ever becomes too shiftless to give advice. The more some people tell you the less you know. Few love to hear the sins they love to act—Shakespeare. Health and cheerfulness mutually beget each other.—Addison. Experience is the comb a man acquires after he loses his hair. The eternal stars shine out as soon as it is dark enough.—Carlyle. Don't imagine that a man pays his bills every time he meets them. Good news comes always too late, bad, always too soon.—Bodenstedt. An orator without judgment is a horse without a bridle.—Theophrastus. Man is not merely the architect of his own fortune; he must lay the bricks himself. Love and death are the two great things on which all human sympathies turn.—Haydon. No town grows so big that the people don't feel a personal interest in a fine new building. I very much fear that our little terraqueous globe is the lunatic asylum of the unverse.—Voltaire. Bee Many Centuries Old J. E. Wilson, builder, is exhibiting a bee, nestling in a solid block of blue stone, which he received recently from a quarry near Owen sound. When the block of stone was split, says Mr. Wilson, it was found to contain a cavity in which was a rosebud with a beeparty buried in its dried petals. After being dislodged the bee was able to crawl says a dispatch to the Winnipesq Free Press. Accepting the story as fact, the bee in question is undoubtedly the oldest living creature, anything from 25,000 to millions of years old. Weather Made to Order Jackle, age six, had been told he might go to the circus if it didn't rain. The night before the grand and glorious day his mother suggested that before he went to sleep, he should as God to bring nice weather for the circus. "Did you pray to God as I asked you to?" she asked, the next day. "Yes," responded Jackle, and he said, "It ain't gonna rain no more."—Indianapolis News. Australian Marriages Australian marriages during 1922 included 483 brides under seventeen years of age, the youngest being only thirteen and 78 women of sixty-five years and over. The oldest bridegroom was eighty-six. Among the young mothers was a child of twelve, while six girls of only thirteen years gave birth to children.

(First Published September 25, 1925) THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SANTAL MIDY EASTERN UNIVERSITY CATARR of BLADDER THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE It is possible to do right and still get left. A man judges all other women by his wife. Junction—a place where two roads separate. Man seeks the office, but the officer seeks the man. It makes any man nervous to have a woman gaze at him. No man is as perfect as he thinks his neighbor should be. "A" is the one letter in the alphabet that can make men mean. People are seldom what they seem to think you think they are. Many a man starves today while feeding on tomorrow's hopes. Adversity is the only scale that gives the correct weight of our friends. Those who are poets can make soup of sausage skewers.—Hans Anderson. If gossips would stop to think their tongues would get a much needed rest. Posterity allows to every man his true value and his proper honors.—Tacitus. A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.—Sir Joshua Reynolds. The man who tells you that all men are equal really believes that he is a little more so. When a man has an opportunity to become a hero he is usually busy at something else. Glory is sweet when our heart says to us that the wreath of honor ought to grace our head.—Krummacher. Parents must look for the greatest appreciation by their children when the children are thirty or forty years old. ELECTRICITY TO DO WORLD'S HARD WORK Electricity costing about one-fifthth of the present price is coming, predicts the scientist, J. B. Haldane, says Capper's Weekly. Then "to light a lamp as a source of light will be as wasteful as to burn down one's house to cook a pork roast." In England, where Mr. Haldane lives, he thinks the power question will be solved by covering the country with rows of metallic windmills working electric motors, which in their turn will supply current at high voltage to great electric mains. At suitable distances will be great power stations where, during windy weather, the surplus power will be stored by an electrolytic chemical process and made to run motors as needed. In time to come all the hard work in the house or on the farm will be done by pressing a button. The Denarius The word penny occurs a number of times in our English version of the New Testament, especially in the four Gospels; for instance, Matt. 20:2: "And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard." The coin to which the name penny is given was the denarius, a Roman silver coin in circulation in the time of our Lord and the apostles. It was the principal silver coin then in use throughout the Roman empire. From the parable of the laborers in the vineyard it would seem that a denarius was then the ordinary pay for a day's labor. New Sun Dial Accurate Although sun dials have been satisfactory in a general way for giving the hours, a new one has been invented that tells time to within 50 seconds. Hands are geared to the dial, which has an additional part through which a ray of light passes. The dial is improved also to correct for different positions of the sun during the different seasons, allowing for the equation of time of the amount of time the sun is ahead of or behind its average position. The inventor is Prof. W. E. Cooke, an astronomer of Sydney, Australia. American Autos in England The United States in 1924 exported to the United Kingdom 6,113 passenger cars, 703 trucks and 320 motor cycles compared with 7,582,1,085 and 775 for the corresponding items in 1923. During the first five months of 1925 British importations, of complete passenger cars numbered 14,728, of which ap proximately 50 per cent came from the United States. Social Position Assured "I hope this expulsion of ours isn't going to injure me socially," remarked Eve rurefully. "Oh, I think not," returned Adam calmly. "Nothing of the sort can prevent us from heading the list of first families, you know." Presidential Rulers A recent estimate states that there are now 83 governments in the world and of these 38 are ruled by Presidents, including provisional Presidents and presidents of senates that are heads of states. Out of the desert comes another story of mystery, baring the life habitls of one of the desert's eccentric characters, says the Los Angeles Times in a recent dispatch from San Bernardino. In a tin can buried in the earthen floor of the cabin of the late David M. Bowman, a miner killed in an accident four years ago, $3,000 in British war bonds were found by Miss Anna Jackson of Pasadena, one of the helrs of Bowman's estate, and Coroner Hanna. Bowman, fifty-four years old and a native of Scotland, was the placer miner who, twelve years ago, gained distinction by his discovery of the largest gold nugget ever taken in southern California. He cashed the nugget for $2,000. Bowman was killed in a caveln accident in the Coolgardle mining district. Miss Jackson and a sister in Scotland were named as heirs. At the inquest nothing of value was listed in Bowman's estate. Learning that Bowman was an odd character, doubtful of the honesty of others, Miss Jackson began a search for treasure. She searched the cabin in vain. Convinced that Bowman's life savings were in or-near the cabin, she returned with the coroner and in digging in the earthen floor she found the tin can with its wealth. Annual Oyster Feast The oyster feast at Colchester, England, which is held on October 21, dates back centuries and centuries, in fact, to the time of the ancient Britons. Julius Caesar, after his conquest of the eastern counties of England, founded a town on the site of the present Colchester, and the export of oysters to Rome became the chief industry. During the reign of Richard I (1193), the monarch granted a charter to the citizens giving them the sole right for oyster fishing off a large part of the coast. In order to keep the size of the oysters up to standard, a silver oyster was cast, which now reposes in the town hall, and it is illegal to sell them smaller than the model. As the fame of Colchester's oysters spread, it became customary to invite well-known people from all over the country. The ceremony takes place at the town hall, at the expense of the mayor. The duke of York was the guest of honor last year, which witnessed an epoch-making event. For the first time in Colchester's history the feast was presided over by a lady, for the city's civic head was a mayoress. Seven Hours Over Precipice Seven Hours Over Precipice An unusual mountaineering fatality is reported from the Italian Alps. Two tourists, a man and a woman, had set out from Trent to ascend Mount Marmolada, and had almost reached the summit when the woman slipped and fell over the edge of the precipice. The rope which linked her to her companion did not break, and with the utmost difficulty he was able to make her fast to a crag. He was unable, however, to haul her to safety and had to leave her suspended in mid-air while he sought help. When he returned seven hours later with a party of guides she was still hanging by the rope from the edge of the precipice, but she had been frozen to death. The Fashions Governor Nellie Ross of Wyoming said at a luncheon in Cheyenne: "A little boy was asked the other day what kind of new dresses his mother had brought back from Paris. "Long short dresses," he said. "Long short dresses? Nonsense. child! Dresses can't be long and short at the same time." "Well, these are," said he. "They're long in the waist and short at the top and bottom." Industries Active The manufacturers of the United States are apparently making a new high record in their industrial activities in 1925. This evidence of an enlargement of their output is found in a study made by the Trade Record of the National City Bank of New York of increases in their demands for the classes of manufacturing material which they find it necessary to draw from the outside world.

"All we Japanese of the older generation have this scar," he said. "It's our vaccination mark." "Mercy!" "Yes, it's our vaccination mark. In the old days, when compulsory vaccination first came in, we vaccinated everybody on the tip of the nose. Why? Well, because it was a good place—no movement there, you see, to rub off the scab. Also because a vaccination mark of the nose top was easily identified by the medical officer—no need to take off half your clothing in order to prove that you'd been vaccinated. "Yes, nose-tip vaccination had its good points, but before the hankering after beauty it had to go, just as knee vaccination is going, here in the Western world, before the one-piece bathing suit and the stocking rolled down to the top of the calf." Prehistoric Workshop A complete prehistoric workshop containing 17 heaps of flint tools and weapons numbering altogether 4,000 pieces recently was discovered by British and American geologists at Frindsbury, Rochester, in the Valley of Medway, England, says Popular Science Monthly. The tools, according to reports of the find, include hand axes of large flint flakes, hammer stones of quartz, and large rounded pieces of flint. The discovery was made in a queer saucer-shaped depression in a chalk cliff, and the relics are believed to date from mid-pleistocene times—the age supposed immediately to precede that of man. Germans Saving Money Recent savings bank figures show that the Germans are beginning to save again and in the last year and a half the number of depositors has grown rapidly. During the inflation period no one in Germany thought of saving money. It was a policy of either "spend it before it is worthless," or of "get-rich-quick." Gradually, however, with the stabilizing of the mark value, the wisdom of economy has begun to reassert itself. Government officials and brain workers furnish the largest percentage of the depositors. Hungarian Wheat American wheat cannot compete with Hungarian wheat in Vienna, for the Hungarian wheat is now on an export basis and sells at prices below the world level.—Science Service.

Over 200 years old. Hauteville house is a large double-fronted building. The interior is like a museum. The walls are covered with tapestries and the furniture is of dark oak, which the writer collected as a hobby. Everything is left just as Hugo last saw it in 1878. The oak room contains the famous bed prepared for Garibaldi in 1860; the general never came, and the bed has never been used. In two odd corners are two little tables, where the author used to write while standing. On these were written, among other works "Tollers of the Sea" and "Les Miserables." Power From Desert Heat Scientists who have been delving into the future of the development of natural utilities have suggested that it is feasible to harness the heat of the great Sahara desert sands. While the suggestion is a vapory one just now, scientists who look upon the idea seriously say it is hardly more impracticable than the harnessing of waterfalls seemed to be some years ago.

It has been accused of every crime imaginable, from stealing poultry to stealing lambs and pigs, and even calves. It will occasionally carry off a hen or a duck, but this only occurs when there are young foxes and other food is scarce, observes the Minneapolis News. For every head of poultry the fox kills it pays in the amount of field mice, moles and destructive rodents killed. Let a farmer from any cause whatever lose a hen or duck and a fox drive is ordered and men and women and children gather from fur and near and every fox that is unfortunate enough to be caught in the circle of the howling mob is clubbed to death. To that class of people that are always thirsting for the blood of some poor wild creature I would say, get a McGuffy's fourth reader and read the "Morning's Ramble." I say give poor Reynard a chance. Women and Pictures Some women came to my house to dinner the other day, and began abusing the men. They said, "Present company excepted," but I begged them to enjoy themselves, and include me. Every little while I said something to provoke them further, and they finally did their best. "Ladles," I said, "you have no idea how ashamed I am of my sex." I told them of a man I knew, married three times, who solemnly declares he never in his life proposed marriage to any woman. "I can easily believe the story," I added; "I never did." I have heard it said of a great painting, "Don't go too close to it." In order to get the best out of a picture, view it in the proper light, and from a distance; don't crowd up and get so close a look that you realize the rough way in which it was made. Same way with women (I said to them). "I prefer to view them from a distance; never closer than four or five feet." -Ed. Howe's Monthly. Lightning Statistics "Lightning is a gentleman and observes the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry—it won't strike a man when he's down," according to electrical engineers quoted in the bulletin of the Pennsylvania public service committee. The possibilities are that a man standing directly under a storm cloud would be struck 15 times in 100 strokes, while a man flat on the ground only once in a hundred strokes. Two million volts of electricity, having characteristics of lightning, have been made by scientists for experimental purposes. Lightning has an average potential of about 100,000,000 volts, about a million times the voltage of house-lighting current. "Nip" Unfledged Parrots Travelers report only the most simple methods are employed in capturing parrots for sale in the forests of Brazil, the natives having learned wisdom and conservation of effort. They locate the nest of the parrot, visit it when the birds are only a few weeks old and defly trim, one wing to prevent the balance necessary for flight, the result being, when the birds are large enough to be salable they are unable to fly, one wing being lighter than it really ought to be, and it is a simple task to capture them.-Ohio State Journal.
