"Do Unto Others Even as You Would They Should Do Unto You." "Do Unto C --- A FEARLESS DEFENDER OF THE RACE BISHOP A GRAFTER Grievious Charges Are Made Public Against A. M. E. Church Bishop. TO BISHOP'S COUNCIL Ira T. Bryant, Head of Sunday School Union, Files His Charges With Bishops and Demands Action On Them. Uses as Henchmen Men of Debased Character Who Can Be Used for a Reward of Money or Preferment in Church to Further His Purposes. The Bishops' Council of the A. M. E. church, in session at the St. James A. M. E. church; New Orleans, La. has been called upon by Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., to investigate charges of the most serious nature which he has preferred against Bishop Joshua H. Jones, of Exenla, Ohio who presides over the Alabama and Tennessee conferences. The charges which embrace alleged "stealing, lying, maladministration, neglect of duty and conduct unbecoming a bishop op of the church, and other offenses that exclude one from grace and glory," were first published in the Young Allenite early in 1914, and reiterated in the Nashville News Feb 5, 1915. In making public the charges against Bishop Jones, Mr. Bryant appeals to the Bishop's Council for the appointment of committees from the various annual conferences of the district to hear the case. Numerous instances are cited in which alleged actions of the bishop come under the head of violations of church law as well as of episcopal ethics. In making his charges Mr. Bryant has not hesitated to lay himself open to the possibility of facing a suit for damages or for criminal libel, but he declares that he will gladly face such charges, and states that although Bishop B. F. Lee has advised Bishop Jones to file such a suit, for some reason Jones had failed to sue. The charge is also made that Bishop Jones has not scrupled to use as hechmen of the most debased moral character. It is charged that the Rev. W. H. Mixon of Alabama, who is now one of the leading officials in the G. U. O. O. F., being a grand auditor, is one of the men used by Bishop Jones. Speaking of Mr. Mixon, Bryant uses the following language: "Everybody knows Mixon. Bishop Jones knew him as a conspicuous character about a Wilberforce commencement, for it was there Mixon met and won one of the greatest women the race ever produced, Miss Elizabeth Jackson, who died for the actual necessities of life after marrying him. * * * Nobody who knows Mixon intimately believes there is any thing under the sun too dirty for Mixon on to do for money or a little popularity. Bishop Jones knew the character of Mixon and that he would need him for future service, so his first official act after coming to this district was to make Mixon presiding elder of the Huntsville district. * * * He found Mixon serving a mission for it had not been quite four years that he was expelled from the church for seducing a woman." WHO IS HE? John Walker, or John Price, as he gave his name yesterday to Detective Dudley Veal, passed through Lexington yesterday in charge of Deputy Sheriff Gore, of Logan County, West Virginia, on his way to Danville. Walker is wanted in Danville for the murder of little Zelma Young, and was arrested a few days ago at Ethel, in Logan County, West Virginia. He arrived on the 4:45 o'clock Chesapeake & Ohio train, and was transferred to the Queen & Crescent train on which he left for Danville. Walker is a small, dark-skinned Negro, about five feet, five or six inches high, and weighs about 135 pounds. In answer to questions by Detective Veal, the Negro said that his name was John Price, and that his home was in Kansas City, Mo. —Lexington, Ky., News.

In times when wrangling and backbiting seem to be the chief note in the public action of so-called leaders, it is good to be able to serenely look above the din of unseemly strife and breathe the purer atmosphere of sound motive, where steady, aggressive work find expression in a spirit of co-operation, first, to do the right thing, say the best word, and leave off the evil As individuals, the race has shown superior class and numberless cases might be quoted to show prominent successes of individuals in all lines, but real unity of action is decidedly conspicuous by its absence, the tendency being rather to exercise an intolerant and spiteful spirit, pulling down that which is built up and trying to reap without going through the necessary process of sowing. This is distinctly true locally. Now what can be done to bring about a decent display of co-operation and collective strength among colored people of Greater Kansas City? The answer to this, if not found, could at least be looked for in what appears to be the two major organizations among the people, namely, the Business League and the Association for the Advancement of Colored People. If the members and the people rightfully understood these organizations there would never be any cause for friction, to know fundamentally what they are and hope to do, brings the member to a happy willingness to co-operate with his neighbor that in truth all things desired may be realized. The Business League desires that the commercial interests of the Afro-American be advanced by his own business people leagued together transacting business on sound business principles, A. E. CHAS. A STARKS, Author and Writer learning and improving service to the customer and establishing and maintaining credit—all of which the league hopes to form into a final nucleus for our people's economical and industrial independence. Whereas the association fully recognizing the importance of the former, takes up the other half of citizenship and desires that the black man in order to be of full stature as an American must necessarily regard and secure civil justice as well as social elevation, two things notoriously denied him and which any amount of "economic independence" has so far been unable to secure, even for an intelligent fight on such laws that are discriminatory and hurtful to our cause and so far as possible have new laws enacted that will "provide guards for our future security and happiness," or better still, have the present good laws enforced which are chiseled in the constitution of country and state but usually have no meaning for the race that would rise up under the majesty of its protection.

That splendid young preacher and unsurpassed singer, Rev. T. H. Wiseman, filling the pulpit for the minister both morning and evening, and delivered two memorable services that will live in the hearts of his hearers for many days to come. At the close of the morning service on behalf of the donors, Dr. Thomas, the minister, presented Kenneth Oden with $5 and a gold watch for his courage in defending the womanhood of the race. There were six additions during the day and the collections were exceedingly good, considering the weather. The canata, "The Seven Last Words of Christ," will be given in the church the latter part of this month.

Hubbell has purchased a beautiful, new Allen car of the latest design with an electric lighter and electric starter which he has affectionately named "The Brown Clipper" in honor of one of our most prominent social clubs. Mr. W. H. Hubbell, one of our most aggressive and useful citizens, has just purchased a new Model 40, seven passenger touring car at a cost of $2,000, which is indeed the last word in equipment and finish. It is of a handsome stream line design, curved in a boat shape at the bottom; it is large and roomy with four wide doors, concealed hinges, is luxuriously upholstered, and the seats are covered witten-inch cushions; its running gear, fenders and hood are black Japanmed while the body is painted a handsome shade of brilliant wine, stripped with gold with nickel and aluminum trimmings. It is especially finished in "London Smoke" brown, with brown genuine Spanish leather upholstered with black moldings and beads stripped with gold. It is a large dignified, aristocratic car with exceptionally pleasing lines, yet comparatively light and is in a class with the $2,500 and $3,000 cars. Talk about your Pullman palace cars, they're not in it with Hubbell's beautiful car and after the staff of the Sun had taken a spin around the block in it, they were so highly pleased that he had to talk of getting a policeman to get them out. The editor has no hesitancy in saying that this is one of the most beautiful and up-to-date cars owned by the race in this city. And the best of all Mr. Hubbell has it for hire to our people. And with himself at the wheel you can rest assured that your trip will be safe and pleasant. Mr. Hubbell is also training several of our worthy young men to become expert chauffeurs because he realizes that that class of polite, efficient and well trained young men are constantly in demand.

LAWRENCE, KAS PALM SUNDAY A CORRECTION. ONCE IN A THOUSAND YEARS. There's a call for a Lincoln in this trying age With the heart of a lion and the head of a sage. Who will write with his heart on the on the tip of his pen That the so-called "new freedom" is meant for all men. Who'll say that real justice is not just a phrase To lower some people and others upraise. But a man like Lincoln you'll seldom find But once in a thousand years. There's need for a Lincoln firm, true and strong For the foes are many and the fight will be long. For the freedmen's freedom is being beset Their feet are entangled in race hatred's dragnet. Their most sacred rights are being taken away Their foes are oppressing them day after day. And they're praying the Lord a Lincoln to send In less than a thousand years. Oh! for a Lincoln to uplift his voice And cause the hearts of the oppressed to rejoice. To pick out the flaws and point out the blame To call those race haters and put them to shame. To tell them that black men though humble they be Are all human beings and all "must be free." Tis sad just to think that a Lincoln may come But once in a thousand years. There's a dearth in the land for a Lincoln today For the freedmen's rights are being taken away. They're taking his privileges one by one The works of Great Lincoln are being undone. The men of the South from the White House down Regard the black man with a threatening frown. There's a crying need for a Lincoln right now, much Less than a thousand years. Our Lincoln has gone to a happier place. We call him ours though not of our race. We call him ours for the good he's done We call him ours for the freedom won; For the great Good Lincoln can but be The ideal of all men who would be Free. And we thank God for sending A. Lincoln to us Once in a thousand years. JAMES CONWAY JACKSON.

Miller, one of the favorite speakers for the men's meeting, will address the next Sunday gathering of men. Since coming to the new building 26 men have already made decisions for Christ, and already the association records show that Allen chapel, Centennial, Ebenezer Pleasant Green and St. Augustine have received members from this number.

From the different organizations it is expected that the Older Boys' Church Council will be formed Many customers are wanting four and five pairs of our shoes while they are cheap, but we do not feel justified in selling one person such a large amount and possibly keep out an honest purchaser, who has not much cash.

ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE. 5c. M. Kansas City, Mo., Prima Donna Blind Boone Concert Co. for eleven consecutive seasons; also, traveling clerk of the treasurer and assistant to the manager. AN APPRECIATION. Every year the executive powers of our country set aside a certain day to honor the nation's dead—those who have laid down their lives for their country's sake. Secret organizations, benevolent societies, churches, etc., do the same thing on what they call "Memorial Day." This memorial 4th day of March is not a call from the nation, neither has it been set aside by any combined body of people, but is sacredly set aside in the heart of a bereaved widowed mother. It is a call from one who has nursed patiently a faithful husband and two brilliant daughters only to give them up just when home seemed the brightest. Only you that have felt the sting that has been left by Death's cold hand and tasted the bitter cup of sorrow can bow in deepest sympathy for this mother who has been left alone in the world. Miss Emma Smith was a favored young lady not only the pride of her mother, but the joy of millions of people who listened to her sweet-singing with the Blind Boone Concert Co. She was industrious, brave, determined and positive. One day she called for the family lawyer to arrange her MISS MELISSA FUEL, B.S.D. Joplin, Mo., of whom the press speaks in highest terms as the suc- cessor of the late Miss Emma Smith. business in order to give a sure protection to her mother. The good mother, seeing her bright condition that day prevailed with her to not be in haste and aurged that her daughter did not know what she wanted. Kindly but positively the reply came: "Do you think I have traveled under John Lange's management eleven years and don't know what I want? When I leave you, mother, I want to die intelligently." And so she did. She left a modern home, a reasonable fund for her mother's livelihood with all business so clearly arranged that there was embarrassment to none. She left her responsible position of traveling financial clerk and leading singer in first class condition with the Blind Boone Co. Although out of voice, she did not leave her work until she could find a substitute whom she believed to be honest, reliable and willing to show a personal interest in the great work of the company. By her careful instructions before she left, Boone says that his work is now being carried on just as systematically as though nothing ever happened. She left a good name with the business firms and dealers with whom she came in contact. Mr. McQuilty, proprietor of a leading printing establishment, Moberly, Mo., sent a personal letter of regret to the bereaved mother and Blind Boone Co. He said that her eleven years of business relations with his firm was always honest, clean and prompt. She left millions of friends not only at her home but all over the United States and Canada where she travelled. One of her friends, a crippled lady who scarcely went anywhere in her own town, made the trip of three hundred miles to pay the last tribute of respect. This lady; Mrs. Mary J. Stover, of Joplin, Mo., was not alone; many out-of-town friends were there and others would have come had they known. Miss Emma has gone, but she is not dead. She has written her name on the hearts of men and it shall NEVER die. NOT FOR HIMSELF By FRANK LAWRENCE. (Copyright.) All through the trial the prisoner had sat with his body bent forward and his head resting between his gnarled fists—a picture of sullen dejection. It was only at the close of his lawyer's brilliant summing-up that he leaned back and gazed about the crowded court room. Then the district attorney faced the jury. "The evidence against Jud Golden, gentlemen," he said in quiet tones that carried to the farthest corner, "proves conclusively that he is a desperado unfit to be at large. "The street gang has made him what he is, and when we send him back to prison we are striking at the organized crime of New York city. "That means that when we strike at Jud Golden we are not merely inflicting just punishment upon a ruffian who prowls about with brass knuckles, knife and revolver, engaging in all forms of crime—now a little blackmailing affair, now beating up a helpless man for a few dollars, or committing murder for a scarf pin—" "I object, your honor," interrupted counsel for the defense. "My client is not on trial for robberies or murders, but for killing a man in self-defense; and furthermore—" "Objection overruled," rapped the judge. "Proceed." "I repeat," continued the district attorney, "that we are not striking at this one man, but at the gang that is undoing the work of the home, the school and the state." "Now, gentlemen, your duty is clear. Release Jud Golden, and you not only expose society to a dangerous man, but you encourage the gang spirit which is rotting the vitality of our city." Then, turning to the judge, he said: "Inasmuch as the prisoner has spent the greater part of his infamous life in some form of jail for every kind of crime, I ask you to send him back where he belongs. He is morally incapable of living in a law-abiding community. "Nobody wants him. He has no friends, no means of earning an honest living, absolutely no reason for remaining among decent citizens. The man is a moral leaper, and as such should be confined." The district attorney then addressed the court in the rhetorical style which had so endeared him to the people. As he finished his summing-up, he seated himself quickly and with nervous fingers fumbled his papers and law books. He was afraid to look up for fear of smiling. Those near him whispered their congratulations or passed up notes from his friends. At length the weary wait terminated with the return of the jury, who announced, through their foreman, that the prisoner had been found guilty. The judge rapped for order. "Before I pass sentence on you, Judson 'olden,' he called harshly, 'is there anything you wish to say in your behalf?" All eyes were turned toward the prisoner, who seemed taller and more ghastly as he leaned over the dock. "You've got me, judge," he said slowly, blinking his squinty eyes at the sea of faces before him. "I guess I've been pretty well introduced, an' I might as well look pleased an' let the ceremonies go on. "I ain't goner do the Edelman act, anyhow. What I've done, I've done. If I'm sorry, that's my business as long as I'm ready to stand the gaff. But there's somethin'—" The words failed to come, and the big man stared helplessly about, shifting his feet and gripping the railing. His blood-shot eyes rested for a moment on a little old woman at his right who sat with bowed head. Then he recollected himself. "That man is right about the gang. It's done for me. I'm crooked as a double-bowed knot an' then some. But I ain't goner air my private affairs any more. I have to. An' ain't beging off, it's not for my 'I'm talkin'. "You've heard that I hadn't oughther he at large; that no one 'ud miss me if I was shot instead of Edelman. That's a lie. I know there's lots 'ud be glad to pay my funeral expenses, but I've got one friend right here now—my mother." The prisoner's voice broke as he pointed unsteadily to the little old woman with the faded bonnet, who up to this moment had passed unnoticed. People all over the court shifted about to get a look at her; several cameras clicked. There was a general whispering, interspersed with cries of "Sit down!" "Keep still!" and "Let him talk!" which died away on the command of "Order!" The prisoner turned to the district attorney. Friar's Heel. Friar's Heel is the name given to a large stone at Stonehenge, England. An interesting tale surrounds the placing of this stone in its present upright position. It is related that Geoffrey on Monmouth said that the devil bought some stones of an old woman in Ireland, wrapped them up in withies and brought them to Salisbury plain. Just before he got to Mt. Ambre the withies broke and one of the stones fell into the Avon; the rest were carried to the plain. After the fen', had fixed them in the ground he cried out. "No man will ever find out how these stones came here." A friar replied. "That's more than the can tell," whereupon the flend threw one of the stones at him and struck him on the heel. The stone stuck in the ground and is said to remain there to the present hour. Humorous. If True Readers who had some difficulty in remembering where the Falkland islands were, may have been helped by the recollection of one of Ian Maclaren's stories.

"A week later she was turned out on the street, an' I never lifted a finger to help her. Why didn't you mention that, Mr. District Attorney? "Many a night she passed by Egan's saloon, where I hung out, an' slipped some money into my hand. Instead of thankin' her, I'd invite the boys in an' leave her standin' at the curb "Then I was sent up for breakin' into Story's house.

"Yes, an' paid for one of the best lawyers in the country, though it didn't do no good. "That's what got me to think': What did I ever do for her except to make her life miserable an' bring shame on her? One day she tripped as she was goin' out of my cell, an' I caught her in my arms and kissed her. Then she smiled up at me through her tears until— "Aw, you wouldn't understand. But I did, an' as soon as she was outside the bars I got down on my knees an' prayed—prayed, mind you—that she might live until I was free so I could work for her an' show her how I felt about her now. "Every time she came after that she looked thinner an' older. Once when she didn't come at the reg'lar time I thought—the thing had happened. But she came, an' I was happy. "The day they let me go, we took a trip to Coney Island, an' I felt like a kid. I guess she was happy or she wouldn't have told me. That Edelman had squeezed fifty dollars out of her as hush money.

"Now you're goner send me back—now, when I was ready to do a man's work—now, when I wanted to slave for her as she did for me— "An you won't let me!" he shrieked, pounding wildly on the rail. "I'm so much scum an flить to be swept down in the sewer where I belong. But what about her? What's she ever done to be punished? She aln't got a bit of strength left nor a place to go nor a soul to take care of her." Turning to the judge, he flung out his wasted hands. "Don't send me away!" he cried. "Don't you believe me? Just let me work for her till—she dies, an' then you can do what you want with me. I said I wasn't beginn' off. I am, judge! I am—here on my knees. "Gimme a chance to prove I'm in earnest—only a year. What more can I say! You're old yourself. Look at her, judge. Look at her old clothes an' worn-out face. I did it. I've killed her. Her face will be before me night an' day. I—" The prisoner threw his head on his arms and leaned against the rail in a huddled heap. The members of the jury, in various cramped attitudes, stared at the floor or out the windows. Throughout the court room was deep silence, broken here and there by a spasmodic sob. Presently the little old woman totered toward the prisoner's box and reached up her bony hands from under her shawl. As she felt his convulsive grasp, she pressed her wasted cheeks against his arm and cried softly. "It's all right, old lady," he muttered hoarsely without looking up. "Stop it now. Don't take on—don't." The whispering died away as the judge looked up from the brief on which he had been tracing patterns, cleared his throat several times, and frowned. "In accordance with the verdict of the court," he commenced, and then paused to cough. "In accordance with the verdict—that is to say—in view of extinguish circumstances — sentence is suspended." There was a general shuffling of feet and chairs as the large audience rose to depart. In a short while the room was empty save for two figures at the dock. Presently the man got up from his knees. "Come, mother," he said gently, "we'd better be coin' home." an emigrant ship many years ago, some of the survivors reached those islands. When the news reached home, the minister of a Scottish church to which some of the emigrants had belonged, prayed thus: "Oh, Lord, we pray thee to be with our brethren, stranded in the Falkland islands, which, as Thou knowest, are situated in the South Atlantic ocean."

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Speaker Clark Robs Congressmen of Pleasures WASHINGTON.—"And while the chair is about it, he will suggest that it is a good thing for members to keep their feet down from the tops of the seats." Thus spake Speaker Clark, scolding his colleagues as a school- The rules of the house prohibit smoking inside this hall. Complaint has been made more than once about the violation of this rule. Now there is plenty of space outside for gentlemen to smoke. "And while the chair is about it, he will suggest it is a good thing for members to keep their feet down from the tops of seats." Thus he robs members of one of the pleasures of legislative life. The seats are comfortable and the back of the chair in front is just the place to rest a pair of No. 11's. Members from the West seem to have taken to the practice of placing feet on the backs of chairs just as readily as they would hang them on the railing of the country hotel back home. People from all over the world have seen congressional feet on the tops of chair seats and have gone away, noting in their travelogue diaries that it is one of the sights of the American legislature. Hereafter it will be a bold congressman (or a new one) who will dare to rest his brogans on the chair of the fellow in front of him. Little White House Baby Poses for His Picture ON the day when Francis Sayre, the eleventh baby born in the White House, was a week old he was presented with an effigy of a Princeton tiger, that he might be influenced in his youth toward seeking an education camera as evidence that he and his relatives appreciate the fact that he is a real White House baby and that all the people of the United States are interested in him. These pictures were intended only for distribution among members of the presidential family. When the photographers got their opportunity they took many snaps at the defenseless infant. That's a pretty good record for one week for any baby that hasn't yet learned to make a speech, that isn't yet inured to the customary White House habit of being interviewed regularly, but he's growing. That much may be admitted on no less authority than that of the president himself. Of course the youngster started with a handicap. Everyone thought naturally that he would be named after his distinguished grandfather, but grandfather had something to say about that. He was soootic give the little fellow a "square deal," and start even with the world, so he was finally named Francis Sayre. Though there have been eleven White House babies, all of whom have prospered, there was but one child of a president born within the executive mansion. That was Miss Esther Cleveland.

The enlisted men who may be admitted to the academy under this law must be citizens of the United States, not over twenty years of age, they must have served at least one year in the navy, and they are subject to the same physical and mental examinations as are required for all other nominees, presidential and congressional. They are obliged to conform to the standards in every respect, and are subject after their admission to the same rules and regulations as apply to all other midshipmen. The naval appropriation bill was not passed by the senate until June 2, 1914. The examinations for enlisted men were held on August 3, 1914, just two months later. In view of the limited time that candidates had to prepare for the examinations, it is regarded as gratifying that as many as five candidates succeeded in meeting all the requirements. By the time the next examination is held, April 5, 1915, candidates will have had additional time in which to prepare, and it is expected that the number of candidates will be greatly increased.

His exhibit was awarded first prize at the Oklahoma state fair, eastern Oklahoma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa county fair. What this ambitious little colored boy accomplished has brought him into favorable notice of the state board of agriculture. Dewey Green resides with his father on a farm near Jenks, in the lowlands of the Arkansas river, which cannot be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton. He was enrolled in the Tulsa County Boys' Cotton club early last year. When it was announced that Dewey had decided to join the club the white boys in the club were inclined to view the advent of a Negro boy with disdain. "You won't get anywhere in a contest with the white boys," was the fling one boy took at Deewey. "You all jes' wait till pickin' time and I'll show you who can grow cotton," was the rejoinder of the lad. On his one acre of cotton he made more money than did his father on forty acres of the same land adjoining. Not only was the yield unusually heavy, but in point of lint, number of bolls to the stalk and seed it outgraded anything shown in the three fairs. Dewey says he accomplished what he did by following out the instructions of the department of agriculture to the letter and by refusing to seek the shade when the torrid sun of July and August took all of the "play" out of experimental farming. Dewey has enrolled in the Boys' Corn club of Tulsa county and will go in for corn this year, as the disastrous luck attending the marketing of cotton owing to the war will have a tendency to eliminate cotton from the 1915 crops in Tulsa county. If anything, the Negro farmers of Tulsa county take more interest in the efforts of the government to promote scientific farming than the whites. They attend agricultural meetings and listen with rapt attention to all that is said. Many Negro farmers are going in for wheat, oats and alfalfa who until two years ago had never raised anything but cotton and corn. All who tried wheat and oats in 1914 made money. Where they have planted alfalfa they have for the first time in their lives gone in for hog raising. Maj. Robert Russa Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton institute, in making his appeal for the school, said: "As a result of Hampton's extension work, the Negro Organization society, a movement which grew out of Hampton institute, has succeeded in getting nearly two hundred thousand colored people in the state of Virginia during "clean-up week" last April, to clean up their premises, destroy breeding places for mosquitoes, flies, etc., thereby making possible better sanitary conditions for blacks and whites. "The workers at Hampton, led by its self-effacing principal, Doctor Fissell, are helping in a concrete fashion to bring peace on earth and good will toward men—black men, white men, northern men, and southern men—and helping toward a peace and good will which a very large part of the civilized world, at the present time at least, seems to have quite forgotten. This year Hongkong has exported $200,000 worth of peanuts to the United States. After hearing Frederick Douglas and Anna Dickinson speak at the first Southern Loyalist convention at Philadelphia, John Minor Botts, the famous Virginian political leader, said: "Today I have heard the greatest white woman and the greatest colored orator in America. I tell you, sir, if Douglas had been a white man he would have been regarded as one of the greatest men in America." "Well, sir," was the reply of his northern listener, "we regard him as one of the greatest men in our country, even though he is a colored man." After accepting office, Douglas virtually retired from the lecture field, and whenever he appeared in public made Republican speeches. Mr. Douglas died in Washington, December 10, 1895. Charles H.

The works are peculiar, having double escapement with a straight verge and will run in any position. It is more than a century old. Speaking at New York in behalf of Hampton institute, Booker T. Washington prailed the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations. "The work of these boards should be followed into our southern states, where the money that they have given is helping to make a new South and a new civilization," he said. "I wish that those in charge of these investigations could get into the South and trace the influence of the Rockefeller and Carnegie money in bringing about better supervision of the schools." Salvation In Work. "Work," said Doctor Meyer before the Congregation曼euanul, "is the salvation for idle wives." The good rabbi might have added that work is the salvation of everybody—the very salt of human life. The man or woman who does not work is a parasite, a corrupting influence, and a decaying quantity. Any scheme of life which looks to avoidance of work cuts athewart every sound principle of living. Most disastrously of all it affects him or—her—who escapes work. Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker at the annual New York meeting in the interests of Hampton institute, Virginia, at Carnegie hall. Mr. Washington said: "The Hampton institute in Virginia, whose interests bring us here tonight, more than any single institution in the South has led the way for a higher and better civilization for both whites and blacks in the South, and the credit for this leadership is very largely due to the far-sighted, modest, unselfish, brave man, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton institute. "Aside from the millions of white people in the South, there are nine millions of black people. Taking the country as a whole, there are more black people in the United States than there are people in the Dominion of Canada, nearly as many as constitute the population of the whole of Mexico. We have enough Negroes in the United States to populate five of the smaller European countries, and then have two million remaining. "We can all congratulate ourselves that the United States congress refused a few days ago to enact that unjust law preventing more Negroes from coming into the United States. Such a law would have been unjust and needless." "While here and there we often have evidences of needless racial friction in the South, yet, when we consider what is going on in Europe, where the races are white, we may congratulate ourselves that in the South, where we have two races, different in color, that conditions are so peaceful and hopeful as they are, notwithstanding the wrongs that so frequently come to the surface. "The South just now is the most interesting place in which to live because there are so many changes taking place and so much work to be done. If the buildings of the school at Manassas need painting or repairing, the boys take care of it; all the children's shoes are kept in order, from a small patch to half soles and heels, by the young cobbiers; the mattresses used in the dormitories are all made at the school; the washing for the entire school, as well as for the teachers, is done by the girls, as well as all the housework and cooking. In fact, there are few occasions when there is need to call in outside labor for a job of any sort. These boys and girls go back to their home towns or rural communities carrying with them the inspiration of skilled usefulness and ideals of better living, and the surrounding community is showing decided signs of this influence in most gratifying ways. The school comes also in touch with the people of the country round about through the Negro Agricultural, Educational and Industrial alliance, which meets three times a year at Manassas. This brings together the farmers, ministers, teachers and leaders of industrial work among the colored people to discuss their special problems, as well as the best cultivation of the soil, crops and stock, home building, school work, co-operation of home, school and church, and any other subject which presents itself as timely. A caterpillar's eyes can see nothing at a distance beyond two-fifths of an inch. Six women, leaders in local society, members of the Wom. u's Charitable association, acted as palebearers at the funeral at Punxutawney, Pa., of Mrs. Martha Thomas, an aged colored washwoman. The palebearers were Mrs. James S. Lockard, Mrs. W. E. Porter, Mrs. T. C. Redding, Mrs. W. S. Sutter, Mrs. G. L. Shicker and Mrs. T. G. Alabran. The women agreed to bury the Negress when it was found that the body would be turned over to an anatomical society, and had an undertaker prepare the body for burial. When the body was about to be removed to the cemetery, the women found they had no palebearers. They volunteered to act and the funeral proceeded. While digging potatoes in Hope, Me., Arthur Hobart found one 12 by 15 inches in circumference, in which was a mouse nest, containing one old one and four little ones.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERI, Acting Director of courses. Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). SAUL ANOINTED KING. LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 9:17-10:1. GOLDEN TEXT—Fear God, honor the king.—I Peter 2:17. Because of the acts of Samuel the people petitioned for a king (ch. 8:5). They are told plainly what to expect if a king is set in authority (ch. 8:19). God, however, granted their petition and spoke "in the ear" of Samuel, saying, "I will send thee a man," telling him of the work which this man is to undertake (ch. 9:15, 16). I. "Samuel Saw Saul" vv. 17:21. Saul was a man to gaze at and to admire (ch. 9:2). His fruitless search for his father's asses leads him to the city wherein Samuel was residing. There he is advised to consult the "man of God" about his difficulty—a good suggestion for us all. This experience (ch. 9:6-14) exhibits Samuel in a new light. The word "seer" indicates "one who sees," one who sees the things God makes manifest in dreams (Num. 24:4-16). While the word is similar to the modern term "clairvoyant" yet the latter are not the successors of these Old Testament "seers" or "prophets." They are rather the successors of the false prophets (Jer. 17:14), and of those who dealt with familiar spirits (I Chron. 10:13:14; Isa. 8: 19:20; 2 Kings 21:1, 2, 6). Saul evidently did not know Samuel (vv. 16:18). There is no necessary conflict in this account and that recorded in the tenth chapter. Samuel's warning to the people was useless and lots were then cast that the people might have a visible token that the choice of this obscure youth was from God. Samuel took Saul with him for the night to take his mind off his father's asses and to prepare him to receive the word from God. Christians take far too little time to withdraw themselves and take their restless minds off the things of time and sense to be still and hear the word of God. What were a few asses to Saul, to him "for whom all that is desirable in Israel" (v. 20 R. V.)? Christians who are heirs to the heavenly kingdom ought not to set their affections on the poor possessions of earth (Col. 3:1; 2; 2 Cor. 4:18). In response to Samuel's information, Saul disclaims any greatness; indeed, is he not from one of the least of the families of one of the smallest of the tribes (v. 21). Such humility gave great promise for Saul's future usefulness. Such was the mental and spiritual attitude of the man whom God chose to be king (ch. 15:17). It was later, when pride and power had puffed him up, that the kingdom was taken away from him (ch. 15:23; 16:1; Luke 14:11; Heb. 13:1). H. "Samuel Took Saul" vv. 22-24. Saul was then led into the guest chamber and placed in the chief seat. Read our Lord's parable found in Luke 14:7-11. Samuel then bade the cook bring the thigh, which was a choice piece of maat especially reserved for those thus honored (Ezek. 24:4). Such a portion belonged to the priest (Lev. 7:32). That which did not belong upon the altar Saul was to eat (v. 24). Samuel and Saul may have had the preference and eaten before the other guests (v. 13), and Saul is made acquainted with the special honor conferred upon him. Following the feast, they return to Samuel's home, where Saul is conducted to a couch upon the flat housetop (Acts 10:9). Here Samuel had private converse with Saul (v. 25 R. V.). What that converse may have been we know not, but we are reminded of one such nocturnal conversation which gave to the world God's most precious summary of his love (John 3:1-16). Such rare experiences are of short duration and the summons to be off came to Saul at the "spring of the day," i.e. about dawn, the usual time of departure in that hot country. Our summons is to those duties which lie between us and our promised crown. There are times for us to be up and away (v. 26), but there are also times when we should hear the command "stand thou still awhile, that I may show the word of God" (v. 27). Many fail to hear God speak because they are ever so busy, the noise of the rattling of things drowns out God's voice from their ears. Even in some prayers we rattle along perhaps charmed by the sound of our own voices, or admiring our own sentences, and God cannot make himself heard. Samuel poured oil upon Saul's head. Prophets, priests, kings and cleansed lepers were so anointed, a type of the anointing by the holy spirit (I Kings 19:15, 16; Lev. 8:12, 14:2, 16:18; Isa. 61:1; I John 2:20 R. V.). This act was also a symbol of entire consecration to God, and pointed forward to the coming king (Messiah, Anointed One) whom God himself would anoint (Ps. 45:7). Saul was anointed to be "a prince" and to save God's people (ch. 9:16; Acts 5:31). His ear is always open to the cry of his people. Even though they had sinned, and their sorrow was because of their own disobedience, yet God regarded their affliction (Ps. 106:43, 44). Only God anointed ones can save (Isa. 61:13). Saul's selected task was to save Israel out of the hands of the Philistines (See Luke 1:69-71). God's eye sees the oppression of mankind and his ear is always open to the cry of the poor and needy; of innocent children suffering because of the sins of parents; of men defrauded of justice; of Europe, because of blood-lust, and the struggle for commercial supremacy. These cries will surely come up before a just and righteous God. But the delivering remedy will not be brought by any earthly king. Mankind is today crying for a king (sometimes it is termed "democracy") and will not have God to rule over them. 6657x MAKES BEST USE OF ROOF SPACE Rooms in Attic the Particular Desire in This Architectural Design. INTENDED FOR LARGE FAMILY Splendid Cellar Is One of Its Chief Advantages—Porch Arrangement Most Pleasing—Especial Feature is Effect Given by Window Lights. The manner of building a wide roof gives the opportunity of planning several rooms in the attic. The house shown in this design makes good use of the roof space that is ordinarily given to the storage of old shoes. This is a good-sized house for a large family. It was designed especially for a town or village where the iots are liberal in size. It has a good-looking, prosperous appearance, as though the family feels proud to own such a house. It is built with a good cellar for the foundation, the wall of which is put up just above grade line. From the cellar wall the construction is of studding in the ordinary way, except that the joists of the main floor do not rest on the sill. The cellar wall is four or five feet in height, according to the depth of cellar required, so that the joists are supported by a ribbon set into the studding three or four feet above the sill. From this studding ribbon up to the peak the house is built in the usual way. It is desirable to have a depth of timber work between the wall and the main floor sufficient to set the cellar windows above the wall. The design of the front porch and the front porch roof is a little different from the ordinary, but the effect is very pleasing. The manner of starting the porch roof close up against the front of the dormer gives the appearance of extending the dormer plan out over the front veranda. It follows out the idea of relieving what would otherwise be an extra wide roof. The front part of the veranda roof is supported by timbered porch columns, which are dif THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER ferent from any other house on the street, but they match up all right with the dormer and all roof projections. Small lights of glass are used in the upper windows and in the upper parts of the large windows which light the first floor. This arrangement gives the same small light glass effect both upstairs and down, not in all sash allie, but the same general idea prevails. Also the plan of building multiple windows is a relief to the large gables. Such windows are large enough to admit light in abundance to the upper rooms. The modern idea of building windows which are light enough to light the house are sensible and should remain in fashion a long time. The plan of the house provides for a hall with an open stair, which may be made ornamental by selecting well-designed woodwork in keeping with the trim of the front part of the house. PORCH 10X2 BED RM. 11X10 KITCHEN 13X10 CL CL DINING RM. CHINA CUPBOARD 17X12 LIBRARY 11X10 COAT HALL PARLOR. THE PLAZA 21X13 PORCH. 25X6 First Floor Plan. To your right as you enter the front door is the large living room, 21 by 13 feet in size. The main decorative feature of this splendid large living room is a very handsome fireplace. There is a good deal of millwork in this end of the room, which seems to reach out and extend the general design both to the parlor and dining room. These two rooms are connected by an extra wide archway, so that the two rooms may be used together when occasion requires. The china cupboard in the dining room is a special feature, sometimes designated as a "space saver." The idea is to build an extension jutting out from the dining room big enough to contain a sideboard with china closets above. The window is set well up, so that the top of the sideboard --- comes up to the bottom of the window. The two china closets at the sides extend up even with the top of the window, so that the window is framed and forms a part of the built-in cabinet work, the trim of which all matches with the other woodwork both in the dining room, parlor and front hall. The men folks are considered as having some rights in this house, by planning the library at the back end of the hall. This library makes a very cozy sitting room likely to be used a good deal, especially by men who carry their business accounts home with them to go over in the evening. The stair leading down to the cellar is in the rear and at the side of the pantry, which is more convenient in this house than the usual way of going down to the cellar under the front stairs. This plan also gives a good cloak closet in the front hall, a convenience that is always appreciated. Upstairs there are three good bedrooms and any amount of closet room, because the different clothes closets BATH 8 x 10 CLOS. CLOS. BED RM. 12 x 12 BED RM. 12 x 12 SHOWN LAUNDRY CLOS. SEWING RM. 12 x 9.5 CLOS. ROOF Second Floor Plan. are worked in under the slope of the roof. There is also a fine bathroom built into a dormer on the rear slope of the roof, which is similar in appearance to the dormer in front, except that it is somewhat smaller. Each of the four bedrooms has a fine outlook, the upper ones being lighted by wide multiple windows, which provide ample light even on dark days. A large linen closet in the upper hall is the very thing that all housekeepers want. Few houses have convenient storage for extra bedding, that 6657x always is in the way in the summer unless"some provision of this kind is made to take care of it. A house built for a large family should have plenty of storage, because each member of the family has certain articles that require special accommodation at certain times during the year. The housewife always finds something to store away and often is puzzled to find a suitable place for such things. The general style of this house is a modification of the old plan of utilizing gables, but the new style of dormer varies the gable monotony. In fact, gables generally look well when they are necessary to finish the end of a roof, but they seldom look well when built especially to light a bedroom. Always there must be a reasonable excuse for any outside house extension, otherwise there is something wrong with the architectural effect. The building of a chimney exposed like this chimney almost always improves the appearance of the gable end of a house. The exposed part of the chimney, however, should be treated in conformity with the general style of the house. The finish of the chimney should be in keeping with the other outside decorations. Red brick with lines of white mortar usually matches up nicely with a dark-colored house with white trimmings. Also rough-surfaced brick are in keeping with shingle siding. The manner of placing shingles also has an influence on the general character of the exterior decoration. The outside appearance of a house is a study in colors as well as design. Birds' Nest Industry An important feature of the export trade of Slam is the birds' nest industry. According to figures furnished by American consular officers in that country, the shipments for a recent year amounted to nearly twenty thousand pounds, the value of which was in excess of $100,000. For the most part the Siamese nests are sent to China, Hongkong and Singapore. It is scarcely necessary to add that the value of these nests lies in the fact that they are edible. In 'the far East birds' nest soup is deemed a great delicacy. Lesson in English: An illustration of the awful possibilities of the misuse of "gotten" for "got," says a correspondent in The Writer, is given by the story of the man who telegraphed to his wife: "Have gotten tickets for the opera tonight. Meet me there at 7:45." She met him there at 7:45 with eight friends, for the telegram when it reached her read: "Have got ten tickets." The use of "gotten" for "got" is a mark of ignorance, rather than refinement. "Gotten" is used by those who desire to be thought "genteel." A Millinery in Diverse Styles --- BECOMING lines are exemplified in this new spring gown of taffeta, which is simple enough for the home dressmaker to undertake and pretty enough for the most fastidious of women to enjoy. Taffeta lends itself to the new, wide skirts, the horizontal tucks and other quaint features in the new gowns, borrowed from a period more than a half century behind us. The days of the crinoline are recalled by the utterly feminine and fascinating demureness of this modest gown. The wide tucks running around the skirt with a fullness of three to four yards in the width combine to make the flare that is to be achieved in this particular style. The fullness is disposed of at the top partly by cutting and partly by shirring or plats into which the material is laid. Many of the new spring skirts, cut with the requirements of the plump figure in mind, fit smoothly about the hips and are widened gradually toward the bottom, where they ripple at the hem. Another feature of spring styles is the revival of the suspender dress. Millinery in HERE are three hats which stand for three very distinct types in the new millinery for spring. But they have several features in common which mark the incoming styles. They are elaborately made and they are considerably trimmed. There is a reaction away from the severely plain hats with a single and sometimes minute decoration, such as grew tiresome during the past winter. At the left of the group is a qualit and picturesque bonnet made of black horsehair braid. Narrow black velvet ribbon and clusters of garden roses and forget-me-nots are used for the trimming. You cannot imagine anything which completes the costume more harmoniously, when it is one of those wide-skirted, colonial looking affairs that are so prettily developed in taffeta. At the right is a pretty street turban made of braid in satin straw, and having a soft silk crown. An embroidered band about the coronet is bordered with very narrow velvet ribbon and short streamers fall from a diminutive flat bow at the back. At the front a big silk pompon supports a long slender feather which fronts the weather with amazing audacity. One of those models which is expected to do duty both for street and other wear is shown at the center of the group. It is made of crepe draped over a light frame. The brim is cleverly managed so that an outline of four points results. Midway between these a little bouquet of roses and small flowers is set in a cluster of leaves. This is one of those rare hats that are suited to older as well as younger matrons. Looped-Up Skirts In spite of the dominant idea of flare in the winter skirts—and the flare of them is the most characteristic feature, whether they be fashioned of one layer or of two, tunic-wise, there are some evening frocks with skirts that are looped up about the hips, almost like bustles, one on each side. Usually these puffs are irregular—the one on the right side is higher or lower than that on the left. When the frock is made of tulle or lace, roses—artificial, of course—are And very appropriately accompanying this comes the prominence given to pockets on skirts for street wear. In these fine tailoring plays a most important part. They are all cut ankle length, and the attention given to snappy footwear is not less than that bestowed upon the skirt. Separate skirts are worn with tailored waists of crepe-de-chine. In either tailored or afternoon gowns there are short jackets and long coats to choose from. The short waist line hardly admits a rival in popularity, and perhaps this accounts for the lack in number of designs which were expected to feature military ideas. The short jacket that completes the pretty gown pictured here is covered with braiding in self-color. It is just the touch required to enrich the design. Worn over a lacy bodice and with a flower-trimmed hat the toilette leaves nothing to be desired. It is developed in a medium shade of blue with a grayish cast—and the hat and parasol correspond. Diverse Styles The use of bright flowers is very welcome after a surfeit of black during the past winter. Even when flowers or fruit do not appear on the spring models, color is supplied in ornaments and needlework. The movement is away from somberness and everyone should encourage the use of lovely color. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Materials for Coats The heavy coatings that bid fair to hold a prominent place this spring are, of course, higher in price, but then they are not so expensive after all, for they are very wide, and only a small number of yards is necessary to complete a garment. The rich oriental colors still hold their own in these materials, and for outing wear they are lovely. Even the conservative dresser does not hesitate to don one of these lovely colorful top coats when spending a time at a southern resort or in the country. Dress stuffs are only a trifle less colorful, and at first one might get the impression that white had been excluded in the dress goods plan. This is by no means so, and almost any weave that is found in color is also to be had in plain white. There is this to be said, however, that almost every white gown, unless one is in mourning, has a liberal touch of color introduced in the way of trimming. With Quaintness of Bygone Days. A harbinger of the mode is this frock of rose taffeta, which exemplifies the double skirt—or the appearance of it—the peplum bodice and the popular absence of trimming.—Vogue. used to accentuate the loop, where they are garlanded under the puff. Fluffy Filling. A young woman who was making some sofa cushions and comforts found that the cotton filling that she was using had become slightly damp. This made it difficult to thrust the needle through it by tying the comfort, so she placed the cotton in the oven to dry and become slightly browned. As a result, it became very light and fluffy and held its fluffiness. EASY WAY TO FILTER WATER Simple and Comparatively Without Cost—Excellent Lamp for the Sickroom—Towel Brackets. It often happens that pump water is filled with sand or gritty substance, and one must wait until it has settled before it is fit to use. If this is the case, an easy way to filter it is to take a rather fine sponge, just large enough to fit into the spout of the pump. Attach a wire to the sponge, so that when it is pushed up in the spout it can easily be removed. When the water runs through this sponge it will come out clear, for the sand will be collected by the sponge. Be sure not to get the sponge too large, or it will stop the flow of water. Take the sponge out at least twice a week and clean it thoroughly. A small lamp can be made for the sickroom by taking a bottle such as mucilage comes in and attaching to A water pump A water clock A toilet paper roll it by a wire a short piece of brass or a copper tubing one-eighth of an inch in diameter. A thick piece of cotton cord makes the wick, and the chimney is simply a tumbler with the bottom cut out. These lamps are safe and will burn without odor. Lard oil will be found a good substitute for kerosene and will be less apt to smoke. Very serviceable brackets for a towel roller can be made by using ordinary wire hooks, as shown in the illustration. The roller is made of wood—a broom handle will do—and two nails with the heads knocked off are inserted in the ends. These are put through the opening in the ends of the hooks, so that the roller can revolve easily. When it is necessary to change towels, spring the hooks apart and slip out the roller. HOUSEHOLD HINTS It is a needless waste of fire to keep a stove red hot all the time. Rice with grated cheese over it makes a change as a luncheon dish. Turpentine is said to restore the lost whiteness of ivory handles of cutery. Bordered or plastered walls make an excellent background if stained a good color. Cream cheese and watercress will make a delicious sandwich for the lunch basket. Sometimes merely bending new kninks into a hat make it look like a new shape. Charming footstool covers are made of gray linen worked in colored cross-stitch design. No fruit salad is complete without a touch of color in the shape of a maraschino cherry. A good meat salad is made with chopped cold meat and cold boiled potatoes, onion and parsley. Bread and butter, cheese and beans, nuts and sugar, are among the best foods for the hard worker. It is said that all kinds of natural-colored feathers can be washed in lukewarm water and good white soap Hints for Good Cooks: Salad dressing can be made of almost anything, but the best imitation of the genuine can be manufactured by taking two teacupfuls of gasoline, a pint of ammonia, three tablespoonfuls of cod liver oil and a jigger of axle grease. There is always one way sure to tell when an egg is bad. Boll it soft and then open it with a common case knife or a spoon. If it is bad you will not be left long in doubt. Original Meat Recipe Cut beef, either cooked of uncooked, into inch cubes. Put in porcelain covered saucepan. Dredge thick with flour. To two and a half cupful beef add eight cloves and half can of tomatoes. If not enough liquid to more than cover add water. Set on back of stove, cover and let simmer three or four hours. Sometimes I add sliced potatoes one-half hour before serving. Should be very tender, dark red with no trace of tomato and very rich. Fresh Fish Balls. One pint cold boiled fish free from skin and bone and minced fine, one pint hot mashed potatoes, one tablespoonful butter, half cupful hot milk, one egg vell beaten, pepper, salt and a little parsley (if you like parsley). Mix thoroughly and let cool. When cold make into balls, dip into a beaten egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry in hot lard. This makes about twenty-two cakes. Peach Ple. Line pie plate with a rich pie crust and fill with peaches, either canned or fresh. Sweeten as desired and bake until nearly done. Then cover top with dots of currant jelly, or any tart jell and finish baking. Beat whites of two eggs stiff; stir in one-fourth cupu' sugar; spread over pie and brown. Lamb Chops in Jellied Mayonnaise. Have some chops trimmed and the bone cut close to the meat, saute them in butter with a little chopped parsley, celery, onion and green pepper, and press until cold. Dip them in jellied mayonnaise, garnish them with pimentos, truffles and cooked green peas that have been an hour in marinade. To Clean a Carpet Sweeper A very coarse scrubbing brush will be found the best thing for removing the threads, hairs, etc., which are so hard to get out of the brushes of a carpet sweeper. HUNGARY'S GUARDIAN MOUNTAINS OF the Carpathian mountains and their bearing on the European situation and upon central European climatic conditions, the National Geographic society's bulletin says: to the Magyar, live upon the southern mountains. The Carpathian mountains are riche in metallic ores than any other mountain groups in Europe. Large quantities of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead The Carpathians are among the best friends which Hungary has. They stretch in a wide-flung arc around the northern plain of the Magyar, from Pressburg, on the Danube, near Vienna, to Orsova, on the Danube, across from Roumania. Thus they form nearly the entire boundary of Hungary east and north of the Danube, a line of about eight hundred miles in length. The hollow of this arc, as well as its most favorable approach, lies toward Hungary. Troops pressing forward along this whole convex mountain sweep, are facing the least favorable passes and are operating with the least shelter from the biting winter. Besides having served the peoples who have lived in the Hungarian plain long and faithfully as a first-line defense against the wrath of their neighbors in the north and east, the Carpathians have been just as partisan for the southern plain in times of peace. They shut out the stinging, bleak winds which snap across the steppe wastes direct from the frostiest ice fields of the North. While the Carpathian range is of low average height and has no great peaks, its walls, nevertheless, are lofty enough to catch the Russian ice winds and blizzards, and to deflect them away from Hungary. Again, in summer, the warm southern breezes are caught and broken on the Hungarian hillsides, which thus prevent them from reaching Gallicia. Nearly All in Austria-Hungary. The Carpathians are the eastern wing of the great central mountain system of Europe, and, likely, one of ... VIEW FROM FOOTHILLS OF THE CARPATHIANS its parts of most historic importance. They are steep and craggy in their northern exposures, while toward the south they fall away in lesser mountain groups and broken, sloping plateaus. With the exception of parts of the eastern ramifications, which belong to Roumania, this range lies wholly within Austro-Hungarian territory. Its total area is 72,600 square miles. The Carpathians attain the greatest height in the Hohe Tatra group, near the center of the range and just east and south of Cracow, the chief city of Austrian Galicia. The system also has its greatest width here. Throughout the chain the passes over the mountains vary from 7 to 230 miles. The heights of the peaks of the Hohe Tatra group are 8,000 feet and more. Gerlsdorfer peak, the highest one in the entire system, reaches 8,737 feet above the sea level. Thus the Carpathian range has no mountain formations to compare with the more majestic Alpine groups or with those of our own Rockies. There are innumerable peaks through this Hungarian line of defense, however, which vary from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in height, and these walls, together with the involved characters of most of the passes, have made the Carpathians a very effective barrier against northern invaders. People Are Miserably Poor. These mountains separate Hungary, beginning on the west, from the Austrian provinces of Moravia, Silesia, Galicia, Bukowina, Moldavia and the kingdom of Roumania. Some of the most miserably poor white people in the world live along this range and upon its forest-covered sides. They are mostly Slavs, Polish Slavs upon the bleak, more abrupt northern exposures, while the dwellers of Slovakland, a people almost become subject astery at Czenstochowa to protect it from the Tatars in 1382. The Pauline monastery, home of the wonderful painting, has been the center of Czenstochowa's history. It stands, surrounded by a pentagonal wall, on the rugged Jasna Gora promontory, which dominates the city. All through the middle ages the fortifications of the monastery were added to, and every time hostile armies came that way it was besieged. Why Boards Have Knots. Why Boards Have Knots. Some boards have knots because they are made from trees having many branches. The knot in the board is part of the root of the branch in the trunk of the tree. When you see a knot it means that before the tree was cut down and the log sawed up into boards, a limb was growing out from the inside of the tree at the spot where the knot occurs. The wood in the knot is harder than the rest of the board because more strength is needed at the base of a branch and in that part of it growing in the tree than in other parts. This is necessary to make the branch strong enough to support not only itself, but also the smaller limbs growing out from it. The Kitchen. As a means of promoting efficiency and saving labor nothing can be more important than the study of the American kitchen. It is the workshop in which hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of material, more or less raw, is made into a manufactured product which goes directly into tens of millions of human mouths and sustains to the Magyar, live upon the southern mountains. The Carpathian mountains are richer in metallic ores than any other mountain groups in Europe. Large quantities of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, coal, petroleum, salt, zinc and other minerals are mined there, and many of the wilder parts of the system have not yet been thoroughly prospected. Mecca of the Slavonians. The National Geographic society gives the following description of Czestochowa, which has figured in the campaign in Poland: Czenstochowa, called by the Germans Zenctochau, a city in Russian Poland, is one of the foremost Meccas of the pilgrimage-going Shavonians. More than western Christians of whatever creed go to Jerusalem, more than Roman Catholics go to Rome or protestants to Eisenach and Geneva, do the Slavonians take up the pilgrim's staff and wander to their holy places. These people of the North are akin to the people of India in that force of their religion which drives them from their homes on religious pilgrimage. Famed throughout Russia, Poland and among the southern Slavonians is the little city of Czenstochowa, wherein is the shrine of the wonderworking Black Madonna. Many a son and daughter of the dreary steppes and of Poland feels that he or she left a torn and harried spirit or some physical infirmity before the magic of this painting. Czenstochowa is gray in age and gray in stirring history. It is a city on the southwestern Polish plateau, some eight hundred feet above sea level, of 72,600 inhabitants, capital of a country of the same name in the Russian-Polish government of Petrokow, and it is situated about twelve miles from the German frontier at Lower Silesia. Czenstochowa lies on the left bank of the Warta, northwest of Cracow. Commercially, the city is of no importance. Its business is mostly with the pilgrims, of whom more than four hundred thousand come to its shrine every year. There are a dozen or more factories in the place, manufacturing cotton and woolen stuffs, paper, leather and beer. More important is a publishing house which does a brisk business with the visitors in religious writings and sacred pictures. The sale of amulets, warding charms against each particular evil and against all evil in general, is a significant part of the city's trade. Black Madonna a Painting Black Madonna a Painting. The Black Madonna, sacred mystery picture, the source of "Black Madonna worship" among the Poles and Russians, is, in itself and in its history, one of the most absorbing of paintings. It hangs in a chapel over the altar, velled except at the chief service twice each day, when it is shown. It is a picture of the Virgin and Child on cypress wood, black-brown with age, crowned with purest gold and lavishly adorned with a fortune of costly jewels. According to tradition it was painted by St. Luke, came into the possession of St. Helena, passed an adventuresome, beneficent time until brought by Prince Leo to Galicia, and was finally placed in the Pauline monastery at Czestochowa to protect it from the Tatars in 1382. The Pauline monastery, home of the wonderful painting, has been the center of Czenstochowa's history. It stands, surrounded by a pentagonal wall, on the rugged Jasna Gora promontory, which dominates the city. All through the middle ages the fortifications of the monastery were added to, and every time hostile armies came that way it was besieged. tens of millions of human brains and bodies. Upon the quality of this manufactured product depends the welfare of the nation. Good food makes happy homes, keeps families united, accomplishes wonders in keeping men from drink and children from breaking down under the stress of modern education. Upon it hang the issues of life and death. The kitchen, then, should need no advocate and no defender. It is the most important room in the house. Russia's Melting Pot. Tiffis, which the czar has been visiting, and terming "a pearl of the Russian crown," was described by Mr. James Bryce some forty years since as a "human melting pot, a city of contrasts and mixtures, into which elements have been poured from half Europe and Asia, and in which they as yet show no signs of combining." The description holds good today, for there are said to be 70 languages spoken in the streets of the ancient city by representatives of as many nationalities.

Persons in everyday life, exposed to fatigue, worry and disappointment, frequently feel an inclination to “take something” to cheer them up and to incite them to further exerations; thus they take stimulants such as alcohol, tea, coffee, tobacco, ete. ‘These stim- ulants may be compared to a whip that urges on the horse, Sane re- flection would teach us that rest would be the best stimulant for the tired horse, but such a proceedure is often neither the easiest nor the most convenient way. Hence, the whip Is used, and likewise, the aforesaid stim- ulants. So we shall concern ourselves with things as they are, and consider the physiological effects of small and large quantities of alcohol upon the human system. We do not deny the fact that there are many persons who can not drink even the smallest quantity of aley hol without unpleasant results; but the probabilities are that such pe sons do not possess normal healtn. ‘The truth is, as shown by the best Physiologists, such as Atwater and Benedict, that alcohol may be regard: ed, but in mall doeses only, as a nu: tritious food element. It is, likewise in small doeses, unquestionably an ex- cellent stimulant for the nervous and circulatory systems. ‘The most beneficial form of alconu. is a light wine, and as a medical stim- ulant, the older vintages of French wines are best. Beer is more nour. ishing than wine, but has a mo sluggish effect upon the system, It may also, to some extent, assist di gestion, owing to its bitter properties. Of all alcoholic beverages, beer con: tains the least percentage of alcoliol but it has the disadvantage of being taken in larger quantities, and thus more alcohol is introduced into the system in the larger amount of liquid Whisky, in small doses, is much less harmful than brandy, which is the most dangerous form of the alco lic beverages. ‘The Romans had a proverb: “Bverything in excess becomes ‘1 ROSEDALE, KANSAS.

New vice.” This is most especially true of aleohol, for while many things are indulged in as excessively as alcohol few things are attended with such direful results. Numerous and ex haustive investigations have shown that the average duration of life is greater among total abstainers and very moderate drinkers, and that but few addicted to much alcohol are among the long lived; those in the latter condition, therefore, can expect nothing more than a shortening o! life, which proves conclusively that al cohol, in excess, is very deleterious to the human body. All the organs of the body suffer degeneration after coming in contact with large quantities of alcohol. It would be impossible in this article to describe all of these different changes, We will mention, therefore, only the effects upon the important organis. Its injurious effects on the brain are particularly marked and if taken only once but in large quantity, it is sufficient to cause intoxication, with changes in the mental faculty. Taken habitually, as by chronic al coholics, it will cause permanent men: tal changes which may be followed by insanity, Alcoliol, if taken in large measure, degenerates the heart muscle and also produces hardening of the arteries, both of which are very serious condi- dons, It affects the liver and kid: neys in the same way, the result of which is hardening of the liver and Bright's disease. ‘Tuberculosis occurs with great fre- quency among alcoholics and pneu: monia is often fatal in such persons. They are unable to withstand the high fever and can not combat the infection because the heart soon fails; also, as a general rule, in all cases of infectious diseases their chances are much worse than are those of other people. Recent discoveries have shown that certain glands of the body, called the ductless glands, pulay an important part in heredity. ‘These glands degen erate in persons who take alcohol ex cessively, Hence, the descendants o Alcoholics are heavily handicapped and are especially liable to nervous diseases, such as idiocy, epilepsy, ete From the foregoing facts it is cleat that large quantities 0 falcohol aré most injurious, but there is no scien |titfe evidence to prove with exactitud lehat small does are harmful. members are being added and the church is progressing nicely... .Mrs. Amanda Golden died at the home of her sister, Mrs, Ruth Denny, of Argen- tine, Kan., Sunday.

During the monthly meeting of the City Conquest Union, which was held at Pleasant Green Baptist church at Independence and Tracy last Sunday afternoon, the Second Baptist B. Y. P. U. not only furnished the program but again won the attendance banner by having 62 present, which was twice as many as the number present from all the other unions in the city combined. The trio sung at the evening services by Misses Bertha Sanders, Marguerite Logan and Master Ell Logan, accompanied by Mr. E. W. Thompson, who presided at the piano, was so well received that they responded to a hearty encore. Dr. Bacote as usual delivered two excellent sermons last Sunday to large and appreciative congregations. The Leisure Hour Club which meets every Tuesday night requests your attendance....The relief workers are doing much good....The Bacote Literary Society, which meets the first and third Thursday, are doing nicely....Next Sunday, March 7, is baptismal service day. A GREAT REVIVAL MEETING. There is a great ingathering of souls at the Greenwood Baptist church, Eighteenth and Terrace. More than 60 souls have been added to the church. Baptizing will be held at the church the second Sunday at 2 p. m. Rev. S. A. Anderson is conducting the meeting. REV. G. T. MOSBY, Pastor.

U. with a very interesting paper on "Parents' Duty to Children." The paper was full of good instruction and was worth its weight in gold....Miss Clara Fremore recited that famous recitation, "The Song of the Shirt." Her voice rang out like tones of thunder and she held her audience spell bound. We hope to be favored by such entertaining often. The B. Y. P. U. thanks these two ladies for the royal manner in which they were entertained....The funeral of Brother Albert Roberts was preached by our pastor, D. T. H. Ewing last Sunday. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt thanks. PARENTS' DUTY TO THEIR CHILDREN. There are three duties we owe to our children, and to the world at large. First—To give them a spotless character. For instance, we are forbidden to sell tainted meats, impure food or poisonous ingredients of any kind. These laws are passed for the protection of society, therefore would it not be just as beneficial to society to pass a law prohibiting children of impure character from associating with children of good mornals and good character? Character is the greatest asset in the world. It is the only thing upon which we can depend absolutely. It is more beneficial to society physically, mentally, morally, commercially and politically, than any other one thing we can give to the world. We pretend to be careful about the health of our children, yet we allow our boys with diseased characters to marry our girls and multiply, and increase the suffering, mourning, sorrow and death in our homes. A boy has no right to mingle with our girls when his character is not pure. He certainly has no right to be a factor in business, a leader in politics, or a director in society, or the head of a family. There are more germs emanating from an impure character than from all the beds of diseases in the world. The boy with an impure character would not be allowed to associate with boys of high morals. But as in times of old, be forced like the leper to live apart from the world, so that our boys with clean thoughts and undiseased minds will not be forced to be brought in contact with them. It is our duty to give to the world children with pure minds and pure hearts, for in such children is to be found spotless character, business confidence, political integrity, social righteousness and domestic peace and happiness. Second—We should teach our children industry, for idleness is the forerunner of evil and leads to all manner of crimes. In dustry is essential to the health. Every boy should be compelled to work whether it is necessary to sustain himself or not. Idle hands, idle brains, idle feet, and idle bodies is the fuel out of which the devil is building the fires of hell. Third—We should give to our girls a life of honesty in little things. There is a large percentage of girls who are not honest either with themselves or with their neighbors and the girl who is not honest with God can not be honest in this world nor can she lead her sisters in the paths of honesty. Honesty in conversation, sincerity in friendship, square and upright dealing should be the purpose and intent of every good girl. It is our duty to cover the graves of our dear ones with flowers, but it is not a greater duty to strew the pathway of our children with flowers of honesty, roses of true friendship, lillies of immaculate character and morning glories of industry, frugality, sobriety and personal righteousness?

WOLF IN THE FOLD By GERALD MONTAGUE "You will find no woman willing to stand for a life in a shepherd's but," his friends told Larry Owen, when he announced his intention of getting married and retaining his job. Larry smiled, and when his friends saw his bride they changed their opinion. Dorothy was a mite of a thing, just like a little gray mouse—Welsh, like Larry, and a girl whom he had been engaged to before he went to Montana to work on the sheep ranges. Larry did not intend to keep Dorothy in seclusion upon the hills forever. Just as the seaman has thoughts of a quiet farm where he can spend the latter years of his life, so Larry had always dreamed of a snug little country place with an orchard, bees, and chickens, and no sign of a sheep within a hundred miles. He was an expert farmer, besides being a sheeper, and he had twelve hundred dollars stored smugly away—almost enough to start the farm. There was a certain orange farm in a California county on which he had his eye for some months. How Dorothy would love the life there, the warm companionship of the westerner beyond the ranges, the sun, the case. He had paid a flying trip there six months before. But he said nothing of this to Dorothy. A man should take his wife into his confidence. As a rule the surprise element does not vork out satisfactorily. Rather it is the man who gets the surprises. This case was no exception. Dorothy soon began to weary of the eternal hills. They had been married six months when Larry discovered that she was running a bill at the nearest town for clothes, far in excess of what he had planned for her. "Well, I'm just sick of the motonomy here," she said defiantly. "I can't live here forever, seeing nothing but the sheep. Won't you get another job?" The Welsh girl was homesick for the old friendly society. She longed for the faces she had known; she felt that she had stepped into a vast, perpetual prison. It has been said a man and woman cannot live in utter seclusion and retain their love for each other. In spite of their love of a dozen years. CHRISTIE Rode Five Miles to His Nearest Neigh bor. Rode Five Miles to His Nearest Neighbor. dating back to boy and girl times, they began to drift apart. Where there are sheep the wolf comes. It was no exception here. Jim Collins was six feet one, flashy and "taking" with women. He had a sinister reputation among the folks of the district. But he was the man for whom Larry was working. He had not often paid a visit to the range, preferring to gamble away his money at Butte, where he had a string of racers and two or three automobiles. He had the patronage of the county, too. Many women had given their love to Collins. They had lived to regret it—but Dorothy only saw in him a big, good-natured man, longing for sympathy and to be understood. Once Larry, returning from the range sooner than had been expected, found Collins in the hut, bending over Dorothy as she made tea. He looked up brazenly and laughed. Larry said nothing then. Later he taxed his wife with caring for Collins. That was a mistake. A man should hold his peace until the time comes to strike. But all Larry's wounded soul, all the suffering he had endured during those days of estrangement came to his lips in a flood of bitterness. Next morning he went to work without a word having been spoken. When he was gone Dorothy slipped out of the hut. An hour later she stepped into an automobile that was waiting for her below the hill. When Larry came home that night, his heart overflowing with contrition, he found the hut empty. A little note was pinned to the dresser. "I don't love Jim Collins." it read, "but he can give me something better than sheep. We leave Butte for California on the night train and you will never see me again. But you won't want to, as long as you have your sheep." Larry stood staring at the note for a long time, and into his mind came the picture of Dorothy as he had seen her in Wales, the innocent girl in the big sunbonnet whom he had loved. What had he done? How had this thing come between them? He saddled his horse and rode five miles to his nearest neighbor. "Keep charge of my sheep a day or two," he said. "I'm going to Butte." "Something wrong with the wife?" asked the neighbor sympathetically. "Yes," answered Larry, riding away. However, he had no intention of going to Butte. He knew that the night T IS surely an amazing fact that the corn crop of the states should average year after year only about 30 bushels to the acre. The acreage planted is increased by millions from year to year; vast areas of virgin territory are constantly being brought under cultivation; it is a matter of record that many farmers raise 100, 200, some as high as 300 bushels to the acre, yet the average for the entire crop is never increased. Is it likely that there is anything wrong with the government figures? I do not think so. There is as much care given as is possible to insure accuracy, and I dare say that many farmers, even if they raise more than 30 bushels to the acre, will feel satisfied that the figures are correct from his knowledge of what the average yield is in his district.

The farms are tilled by a pretty good type of farmer, on the whole, hard working and intelligent. The best that we have been able to produce of the true American, and for the most part the best of the sturdy sons of the soil from many foreign lands. We have a national department of agriculture that has been the envy and the copy of the world, which is in a sense a farmers' university, and the sole aim and purpose of which has been, and is, to make better farmers. For a generation or more it has striven by study, experiment and printers' ink lavishly disseminated, to educate the farmer and bring him to a higher level as an efficient tiller of the soil. Through the work of its many professors it has presumably told the farmer much about seeds and soils and methods of cultivation, and of protection from insect pests, an infinite variety of details about the vital facts concerning his business, yet the result remains the same, so far as corn is concerned, year after year—30 bushels to the acre. In almost every state in the Union there is now, and has long been, an agricultural experiment station, working in co-operation with the federal department of agriculture and hand in hand with the farmers of the state, to educate him. The stations are equipped with professors and experts, many of them of the highest authority in the land, vast tracts are under experimental cultivation, they have been planning, working, testing soils and seeds, fertilizers, to aid the farmer in the exercise of economy and the growing of better crops. The net results of their labors they are constantly disseminating by means of lectures, correspondence and bulletins, free, for all who would profit by such—yet the net result after all these years is an average of 30 bushels to the acre for corn. The agricultural colleges have gone even farther than this. In many instances they have not been content to work and lecture and print the results of their labors for the benefit of progressive farmers; they have been militant in their work, have instituted campaigns of education by sending out some of the professors on special trains, right in the heart of farming districts, and giving the farmer heart to heart talks and object lessons in better farming methods; telling him about soils, methods of cultivation, seed selection, inviting him freely to ask questions, to the end that he may become a more enthusiastic worker and raise better crops. Although this has been going on for years and beyond question many have profited by it, yet the average yield of corn the past year was just the same—30 bushels. Is it possible that the present type of farmer has reached the limit of his capacity to improve? It may be so. At any rate, besides all this there is an agricultural press, of vast proportions throughout the states, working to educate the farmer and keep him posted on everything that may be help to him in his business. Many farmers take several such publications. Then again, the tools that are available to the farmer for his work are far superior to what they have been in the past, and are improved every year. Is it possible that the farmer is not as a class taking advantage of the best tools for his work? What is the first thing to be done in the growing of better corn crops? I think, in seed selection. There is nothing startling or original in this, I admit; it is the doctrine that has long been preached, but I would simply add my testimony from the results of my experiments with the hope that it may lead others to try along the same lines. There is nothing difficult about it, there is certainly nothing costly; it amounts to simply a little more thorough and intelligent heart interest in one's labor. To secure a corn that will yield tenfold what he has been accustomed to getting the farmer must breed for results. He has got to improve the corn in the same way that he would raise the standard of his stock or his flocks. And once he has secured a type of corn that shows increased productivity, he must try to keep it pure, avoid inbreeding and maintain its stamina, with the same watchfulness and care that all breeding demands. It does not require a scientific education to grow more and better corn, or better crops of any kind. It does require brains.

He could catch her if he rode hard. And, once aboard—well, Larry had a revolver in his coat pocket. Yet his object was less to be revenged upon Collins than to preserve Dorothy's good name, to save her from herself. He rode hard. The moon came up and lit the mountain way. Time and again he thought he heard the Butte train snorting up the incline in the distance, but always the sound proved imaginary. And now he was nearing the railroad track, which ran, a narrow, edged ribbon, beneath him. He spurred his horse down the mountain way. At last he dismounted and, turning the beast adrift to graze, waited beside the rails. Terrible thoughts assailed him as he waited there. What if, instead of killing Collins, he were to place one of the huge fallen firs across the rails, dislodging the engine from the metals as it came swinging round the curve? He could destroy Collins and a hundred others, sending them to their death among the bowlers far below the grade, and escape unknown in the confusion. Was Dorothy worth the sacrifice of his own life in retribution? The temptation grew stranger, until the man shook with the agony that assailed him. At last he went toward the tallest of the fires, a giant tree as hard as ebony, which lay with its trunk projecting only a few inches from the rails. With the exercise of all his strength he could shift it a few inches down the incline. He knew that just where it lay the curve was the most dangerous. He stopped. Then, in the distance, he heard the puffing of the engine as she forced her way up to the summit before descending on the grade that lec to the sliding. There was just time. But the sight of the fiery eyes of the monster above him paralyzed his mind, and he could not turn his muscles to the accomplishment of the task. And now the engine was descending the grade, lumbering and screaming as she made her way toward the sliding. Larry stood still. It was too late now. But it was not too late to carry out his original purpose. Suddenly the moving mass seemed to stand still. She swered, reared, and then, with a scream of escaping steam, the engine left the metals and toppled upon its side, followed by half the cars, yet clinging almost miraculously to the mountain side. Flames burst out among the wreckage. The screams of the injured reached Larry's ears plainly. Entirely forgetful of his purpose, the man ran at full speed toward the scene of the accident. Men and women lay half buried beneath the wreckage Larry ran along the side of the overturned cris, searching 'or Dorothy. And he found her. She was uninjured, and, on her knees, she crouched beside a man with a ghasly wound across his breast. Larry knew Collins, though the face had been battered almost out of recognition. He must have been killed instantly. He touched Dorothy upon the arm. "There is nothing to lo," he said. "It is too late." "Yes," she answered, rising to her feet in a mechanical manner and moving away. She seemed stunned by the catastrophe. She hardly realized where she was. Larry devoted hour after hour to alding the injured, until the hospital train that was rushed out from Butte came up. Then he found Dorothy again. She was standing near the body of her companion, looking uncertainly about her. "What are you going to do?" asked Larry. "I don't know," she answered calmly. She seemed to have lost all power of feeling. "Go on to California, I supose. You see, I have my ticket." "But what will you do there?" "What does that matter to you? Anything." "Dorothy, you said you did not love that man," said Larry. "Well?" she returned. "Dorothy, in the old days I used to love a little girl in Wales. She was highstrung and willful sometimes, but she was never bad. Nobody could have said that of her. One day, after a quarrel—she didn't know I took it, but I took a vow. It was that I would always protect her, against herself even. And though that was long ago, and she is married now, do you suppose that makes any difference. Dorothy, I am never going back, I am going to California too. Is it to be together?" And suddenly she was weeping upon his neck in an agony of shame. India Ink. In both India and China there are thousands of people who manufacture india ink as a side line to their regular business, working at it in the winter at night and on days when they are not otherwise employed. It is made by burning some kind of oil in a lamp with a very long chimney, usually made in joints which can be taken apart for greater convenience in cleaning out the soot which makes the ink. Almost any kind of vegetable oil will answer, and in districts where petroleum is found even coal oil is used in making the cheaper grades. The best kind is made from sesame oil — Argonaut.

The only to the one-ea rowed type. This is one of will have to be s fore a highly p type of corn can grow and give some returns with a lot of neglect —it gets it. In no one respect is the average farmer more careless than, in his choice of seed, and this may be said to be the prime essential. The farmer is plowing, manuring, performing all the operations from planting time to harvest, year after year, and with some of these he takes considerable pride; for instance, I know farmers who are per- fect plowmen; they know it and are proud of their skill, but these same farmers are hidebound in an old custom of throwing their corn in their crib just as it is husked, and when they want seed in the springtime they go to the crib and pick out sufficient likely ears from what are left to meet their needs, and let it go at that. avera inbre makes be av over Suc sibilis we h cious the t yields increa ment involu produ It is an enigma how a man can be so skilled as a workman in many respects, and yet absolutely insert to one of the most vital phases of securing perfection in that work. It needs no argument, for it has been demonstrated over and over again that the breeding of plants can be followed with as much certainty as to results as the breeding of animals. Then why not do it? The only added equipment which nine out of ten require is the exercise of more intelligent care and precision in some of the details. It seems strange, but it is nevertheless a fact, that most farmers are aware of what may be done in plant breeding, and know the general principles, but they will not wake up to a practice of them in their own interests. If we are to increase the corn yield we have got to get it in the breed. It is not in the soil, or fertilizer, or the weather, or in any other factor, important though each may be. The first essential is to breed up corn for points with the same care given to animals or fowls. Type, quality, stamina, productiveness, etc, must be known, must be sought for and improved with each season. It is not enough to pick out perfect ears or such as may be attractive at harvest time. It is necessary that one shall know the plant that produced the ear, and all the conditions of its growth and environment. There are many mysteries to be solved in this question of seed selection with the view to breeding up a more productive type of corn. My own experiments in this direction will indicate some of the difficulties to be met with. In husking the corn in the fall I came across just one stalk containing two ears. It was the first I had ever met with, though upon inquiry I find that farmers do frequently come across such two-eared stalks, though they never pay any attention to them, but throw them in the crib with the others. It occurred to me, however, that it would be well to plant from these two ears and endeavor to raise a two-cared crop. One ear was of good size and the other about two-thirds as big. Weighing them, the large one weighed 14 ounces and the small one $9\frac{1}{2}$ ounces. The large ear was an average ear such as every stalk carried. Thus this particular plant gave $9\frac{1}{2}$ ounces more than any other plant. This gain would mean almost a ton more to the acre if the corn could be bred to yield two ears. It would mean even more if the two ears could be made to attain a good size instead of one being large and one small, as in this case. The corn was of a variety called yellow flint, obtained originally of a nearby farmer. From these two ears I selected 630 kernels, discarding the butts and tips. The field in which this was planted was fallowed and dressed during the winter with a liberal application of a high quality of stable manure, as I keep such in a cement-bottomed pit. The two-cared seed was planted at one end of the main corn field. It should of course have had a separate plot, and it may be that the tendency to revert to one ear was due in part to its contiguity to the ordinary corn. The 630 kernels made 210 hills. Fourteen failed to come up, probably being eaten by worms or mice. The germination showed very strong vitality. However, of the 616 stalks, all from the two-eared seed, only 136 stalks produced a double ear. About one-fifth. average yield. It may be due to a weakness of inbreeding. average yield. It may be due to a weakness of breeding. Some of the ears weighed over a pound each, making over two pounds to the stalk. If this could be averaged for an entire corn field it would yield over ten tons to the cree. Such may seem an exaggeration or an impossibility, but it is so only in comparison with what we have been accustomed to. Even if by judicious selection of two-eared seed each year still the type could not be fixed so as to produce even yields of the maximum amount, yet if it gave an increase of 20 per cent, as it did in my experiment, the return would be a big one for what is involved. It does not imply added cost in the production, but only a greater care and interest in one's work. Another thing to be kept in mind in breeding up a type of corn for higher productiveness is that the number of kernels to the ear and their size as an important bearing on the yield of grain. A corn expert once figured out that if the productiveness of corn could be increased by only one kernel to each ear, on the entire crop it could mean a gain of 50 tons of grain! Even though the figures are not absolute, there is no naysaying that the increase of yield would be a very big amount in the aggregate. The point is made very clear in the accompanying photographs, which show eight, ten and twelve-rowed ears of corn. Each ear was exactly the same in weight, being 11 ounces each. The eight-rowed ear gave seven ounces of grain, and had a cob weighing four ounces; the ten-rowed ear weighed eight ounces of grain and had a three-ounce cob; the twelve-rowed ear gave eight and one-ounce of grain. A difference of an ounce and a half to the ear of actual grain is an appreciable gain worth striving for. But that does not mean that such is the limit of the gain to be obtained. It would be quite within reason to obtain tenfold that increase. The chief requisites to substantial progress in the growing of a more productive corn must be the skill and judgment of the worker. The first essential is no doubt seed selection, but this does not merely the picking out of the best looking ears at harvest time or in the husking. It is necessary that the grower shall watch the corn from the first start of the seed and through therowing. Vigor, productiveness and early ripening should be noted, not merely in the mind, but in a book, and the stalks should be marked so that they can be identified at any time. My method is to snip out little bits of tin; punch a hole through them one side and put a bit of thin wire through and twist this loosely about the stalk when marking it. On the tin I scratch a number with a sharp awl. There is not likely to occur any accident that can destroy this tag or erase the figures. A LEARNER.

It's not every family that can have a school all of its own, but the family of August Bambach of Oakland, Cal., is an exceptional one, and he is en- Another interesting point, showing clearly the tendency to reversion to remote ancestors, is found in the fact that while the two-car seed were of 12 rows about 75 per cent of the yield was of one eight-rowed cobs. Although this variety of flint corn will show frequent ears of 12 and 14 rows, it may be considered properly an eight-rowed type of corn. Thus we see that after throwing the sport of a two-oared stalk, there is not sufficient stamina in all the seeds to reproduce like the parent. The corn reverted not only to the one-eared but to the eight-rowed type. This is one of the mysteries that will have to be solved, no doubt, before a highly productive two-eared type of corn can be raised with the qualities of the parent so fixed that it can be relied upon to maintain a big A LEARNER.

From its very institution, the American Civic association has devoted itself to the protection of the public against three great nuisances—smoke, poles and wires, and billboards. At the annual convention of the association in Washington one of the important subjects discussed was billboards, with a principal address, entitled "The Passing of the Signboard," by Jesse Lee Bemett of Baltimore in which he recounted the steps that had been taken for the legal control of the billboard in all parts of the United States. Concerning the sentiment against the billboard, Mr. Bennett said: "The feeling against the signboard has become nation-wide and in the past few years the agitation of civic organizations has been so successful as to awaken resentment against it so widespread that, from coast to coast and in almost every state and city, there are now, or have been, vigorous movements seeking the abolition or regulation of these unnecessary and disfiguring objects. "There has been much agitation, and from it there has been distilled one thing—the recognition of the fact that what is called the signboard problem is a question more complex than the mere removal of the signs. The signboard has been found to be inextricably intertwined with two questions of even greater importance—The awakening of civic sentiment and the recognition by legislators and judges of the validity of arguments based upon esthetic considerations." Commenting on what ought to be the attitude of the law and the courts toward the billboard, he added: "It would take our psychologist but a few minutes to show that it is not a question of car, or nose, or eye, but a question of the brain and of the very consciousness that is life itself. No law should permit any man to intrude or force himself or his business into another man's consciousness to the extent that outdoor advertising has come to permit, an intrusion immeasurably increased by the fact that it is impossible' to avoid seeing signboards." SERVED A DOUBLE PURPOSE Scheme of New York Man Improved Appearance of Garden and Protected Birds. Bird lovers often find it a most difficult problem to devise means to pre- vent neighborhood cats from frightening away their feathered pets and robbing the nests of their young. A New York man who makes his garden an aviary, and who at the same time is not a hater of cats, planted climbing-rose vines about the base of the poles supporting his bird houses. While these added greatly to the appearance of the garden, they also served very BIRD HOUSE efficiently in keeping cats from crawling up the posts. The birds, understanding their security, were no longer frightened from their nests.-Popular Mechanics. Combination of Property Owners. A general maintenance tax of two mills per square foot, which amounts to $4 per year on a lot 20 by 100 feet, besides the regular city tax, must be paid by lot owners in a section of Philadelphia. This special assessment is for the upkeep of the property, and is applied towards the cost of garbage collection, snow cleaning, lighting, maintaining the park and sewerage system, replacing trees and shrubbery, cleaning vacant lots, and repairing streets and sidewalks. The fund is administered by a company and assures the lot owner that all repairs in streets and sidewalks will be promptly made when needed, and will not be subject to the idiosyncrasies of private ownership or the slow methods of municipal departments. Paint Your Residence. If your residence needs painting or repairing now is the time to have the work done. In the first place you will get the labor much cheaper and in the next place you will aid those who need work.

He hasn't been out of his den for & week, and Mra, Wolf told me that she thought he would always be lame.” Mister Fox and Jack Rabbit were walking along the road together, or rather the fox was walking and the rabbit was running because his legs are go much shorter, while this con- versation was going on. Jack Rab- bit had arrived at Mister Fox's !.ouse Just as the latter was going out for a morning's stroll. ‘The rabbit had told the fox the story of the wolf and was patiently waiting for Mister Tox to tell him the bit of wisdom whic he had come to learn. “Let us go waiking through the wood,” said the foa, “and Perhaps something that ‘ve see will suggest a bit of wisdom and furnish An example at the same time.” At length they came to @ pond and ‘sat down to rest for a moment in the “shade of some bushes, which shielded ‘them brom the sight of any passer-by. ‘They had been sitting there for only a minute or two when, from the other side of the bushes, there came a loud quacking, and as the fox and the rab- bit peeked through the leaves they saw a fat old duck stending by the side of a frog which seemed to be in great distress. He lay on his side in the sun, gasping fer breath and holding on to bis head in a most dis: tressing manner. ‘The old duck who stood beside bim was quacking loudly. “You are a very sick frog,” she said, “and except that 1 am very learned’ in medicine and & doctor of wide experience, your chances for getting well would be ~ery poor, “Lam going to give you a very care ful examination, and when I have de cided what is the matter with you and have given you the proper treat ment, I may be able to save you Open your mouth and put out you: tongue.” The poor frog did as he was ordered although he was so weak that he coul hardly hold bis mouth open lon enough for the duck to get a goo look. When the duck had seen bi tongue she shook her head wisely, a much as to say, “Just as I thought. ‘Then she felt of the frog's legs jus above his feet, or what would be jus above where his -hand is, and coun ed the frog’s pulse or at least pretenc ed to. Then she shook her hea again, “Turn over,” she said to ta frog, and put her head down on th frog's stomach, as if she was listenin | to his heart. “A very bad case,” said the duck “a very bad case, indeed.

G, Fraser of Saginaw, Milch., in Popu- lar Mechanics. If bamboo is used, see that it is cleaned out smcothly on the inside. The dart used in the gun in shown at A in the illustration, It is made by threading the eye of a darning needle full of yarn, clipping all the strands off to a uniform length of about three- fourths inch, and then picking out the fibers into a brushlike mass above the needle's eye. Another needle or pin can be used for fuzzing the threads. ‘The point to observe is that the brush is of somewhat larger diameter than ~at PP NG =< “yt Dy y =< a te alae the bore of the gun, so that when the needle is pushed into the mouth end the brush will be compressed and make an airtight plug. After thus inserting the dart, hold {t_as shown and give a quick, sharp blast of the breath into the gun. The @art will travel with great speed and accuracy for 20 feet or more, and stick wherever it strikes. The point being so small, it can be used in the house for shooting at a paper target pinned to the wall without injury to the plaster or woodwork. A Bright Boy. “Now, boys,” said the schoolteacher, “1 want you to bear in mind that the word ‘stan’ at the end of a word means ‘the place of.’ Thus we have Afghanistan—the place of the Af- ghans; also Hindustan—the place of ‘the Hindus, Can you give me another example?” Nobody appeared very anxious to do so until little Johnny Snaggs said proudly? “Yes, sir, can, Umbrellastan—the place for umbrellas.” PEEP “Do you know where Johnny Locke lives, my little boy?” asked a gentle voiced old lady. “He ain't home, but if you give me a penny I'll find bim for you right off,” replied the lad, “All right, you're a nice little boy. Now, where is he?” “Tanke—I'm him,’—Kansas City ‘Times, eaten something that has poisoned you; you have a very high fever and your heart is very weak. 1 hall have to go to the wood aud gather some herbs that I know there end feed them to you,” and off she started for the wood, leaving the poor frog in the hot sin on his back. “That duck is a quack, 1 belteve,” said the fox. “I haven't any idea that she knows anything about medicine oF what is the matter with the frog. 1 intend to set matters right by going to the edge of the pond and getting another frog to come and attend to this sick one,” and so saying Mister Fox stole down nearer the edge of the pond, He soon found another frog, and told him of the illness of the frog om the bank, arc within a few minutes half a dozen frogs were hopping wp from the water to where dhelr slek friend lay. It was not half a minute before they had decided what was the trom ble. “He has been out of the water too Jong,” said one big friend. “And he has been lying in this hot sun," said another. “AN he needs," said another, “Is to be helped down to the water and five minutes after he has been in the pond he will be as well as ever.” So one frog got on one side and another frog got on the other, and {n half a minute they had helped the sick frog down to the edge of the pond and pushed him in,andin a min- ute more he was swimming about ‘as well as ever. “What did I tell you?" said the fox, fas he came back to Jack Rabbit, “but here comes the duck; let's see what she will do.” ‘The duck was waddling alor « with her bill full of pine needles, which she had picked up in the wood. | When she arrived where she had left the frog she was very much surprised |'2 find him gone, but just at that mo ment the fox stepped out from the | bushes and said, “Good morning, Doe tor Duck, are you looking for your pa tient?” "Yes," eald the duck, “I left a very |sicc fype here only a few moments | ago, and have just returned with edt | cine for his treatment.” “I see," sald the fox; “and what ailed the frog?” “Ob, he was suffering from a very dangerous disease, and unirss he bas be dead." | “1 scarcely think 0," sald the fox “for he is already swimming around | in the pond as well as ever.

BIG GIFT OF APPRECIATION Helen Always Sees Gleam of Gold Somewhere In Someone That No One Else Ever Detected. ( “There is one thing about Helen” says a writer in the Christian Guard fan. “She has a genuine gift of ap- preciation. Whenever you speak of anyone she always seems to bubble over with some kindly appreciation of her. When someone remarked the other day that Miss —— was not at all pretty, she broke out with “Yes, but ue aoa cores ae eet tae pretty; they're nice enough without It? It is always that way with her; she has seen the gleam of gold some- vhere in someone that no one «lee ever detected or thought of looking for.

NELSON MANUFACTURING CO., Richmond, Virginia The Value of Life Insurance to Colored People. Is a text from which a little sermon could well be preached in every colored church in America. There is scarcely a family whose members do not have some sort of Policy in some sort of Company or Society or Order. These are usually for just enough to give a decent burial. The funeral expenses take practically all the proceeds and there is nothing left to meet the obligations which face the widow after she returns from the funeral. The problem of rent, food, clothes, books and school expenses for the children are not theories. When the grocer's boy brings the package he wants the money; and when the landlord calls he wants the rent. The man who carried $50 to $200 in a weekly benefit society or a secret society on the assessment plan earned enough and could easily have paid the premium on $1,000 to $5,000 in an old line legal reserve life insurance company whose rates are fixedd and subject to no assessment, if he only had known. He could have made impossible the long hours of bending over a needle or the cook stove or the wash tub that came to his widow, if he had carried the necessary amount of life insurance. He could have assured his beautiful daughter the education she desired, the amusements she wanted, the clothes she craved—and which she got somehow. He could have kept his boy in school and he would have grown up a credit to the memory of his father, a respected citizen of his community, and a successor to his father's business; instead of the wanderer or menial or ne'er-do-well. He could have changed the destiny of every member of his family! He had it in his power to make them bless his memory or bewail his shortsightedness! What a tremendous responsibility! Are YOU, reading this, preparing for the future of your family or are you leaving them to shift for themselves after you are gone? What will become of your son? Will he leave school and go to work prematurely? Will your daughter give up her training upon which she has just entered? Must your wife go out and hunt work to support herself and the younger children? Will you leave money enough to pay the balance due on the home you have been purchasing? Or will your wife lose the place? You can secure to those you love future independence, you can protect your obligations, you can save your business if, while you are alive, sound and well—and that is NOW you secure the necessary amount of life insurance. You can secure this life insurance in a strong, well managed life insurance company which has met every requirement demanded of it, owned, organized and operated by our people, the only one of its kind in the world, at rates within your reach if you act today.

We sought in vain to find a subject that, to my mind, is more appropriate for this occasion than are these words: "He being dead yet speaketh." Truly can this be said of George Washington, the man to whom all the nation is today singing praises to his memory and giving thanks to the God of heaven that our beloved country, "the land of the free and the home of the brave," can rejoice to know that we have had a George Washington, of whom it has been truly said that "He was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." In the hearts of 90,000,000 loyal citizens he lives and speaks words of comfort and cheer; in the preamble of the greatest constitution ever drafted by men, he lives and speaks to all the civilized nations of the world; in every section and article of the constitution of these United States his voice can be heard in thunder tones reverberating down through the ages speaking wisdom's ways to nations yet unborn. We fancy we can see him in his childish glee with his hatchet, longing with eager anxiety to take a hack at something; watch him as he nears yonder cherry tree; see him forgetful of all else but the joy of using his hatchet; a stroke, and down comes the tender shoot; he stands for a moment and realizes what he has done; he is awakened to the enormity of the crime by his father's call, to which he responds to be chastised; he acknowledges his guilt. Thus he speaks to every boy and girl that has come into the world since that eventful day, telling them to be truthful and the world will honor them well. He is speaking to the warring nations of Europe, and would they but stop and listen to his voice, peace at ance would be restored; the blood of valor would cease flowing, mad men and boys would return home to gladden the hearts of sad and desolate women and children; the darkest clouds that ever overshadowed human pride and ambition would give way to sunshine and happiness. He is speaking to the executive heads of our country, telling them that though the Negro is covered with a black skin, he is human and is of the same blood as is the whitest white man that ever lived, no difference between their feelings and sensitiveness. We imagine we hear him pleading for the Negro burning at the stake; pleading for the boys and girls as they dangle from trees and telegraph poles, serving as targets for infuriated white demons. I say demons, for truly man can not do such diabolical deeds. White man, hear him speaking to you. You say that you are superior to the Negro. What would you think of a Negro mob guilty of some of your crimes? We implore you to listen to Washington's voice. He is telling you that our heavenly father has said, "Revenge is mine and I will repay." He has also said that the sins of the father will be remembered unto the third and fourth generation. What do you hope for the third and fourth generation of your children? Washington is speaking to 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States, telling them to be loyal, brave and true; true to the flag that made you free, loyal to every cause of human progression, and brave to battle against the wrong and to fight for the right, the cause of man and God. Washington does not know that the great American flag has trailed in the dust; but it certainly has, for in many cases when it comes to defending the rights of the Negro it is nothing more than a dirty rag. Nevertheless, it is our flag; it made us free and the same God who first unfurled its banners to the breezes and floated it over the land of the free and the home of the brave is still guiding the destinies of the nations, and at His appointed time will completely save His own. Washington is speaking to you and me, and all of us, telling us to do our part. Hear him; act well your part; there all the honor lies. We are not saved by resenting the wrongs o fothers. But, says the good book, by doing good unto them that despitefully use you, making the very best use of every talent, the time, the means and every opportunity given you, races, like truth, though crushed to earth will rise again to shine more gloriously unto the perfect day. He is speaking to all mankind telling them to So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shallake take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon; but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the draper of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
