The Pioneer Press. "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882 Anglo-Saxon Arrogance Senator Beveridge at the banquet of the Twilight Club, New York City, on Thursday night last, prophesied two results of the European war—the necessity for the nations now fighting to take governmental control of the productive resources of the countries in order to remove the war debt burden as much as possible from the backs of the masses, and the necessity for an amalgamation of the white races of the world to confront the possible advance from Asia. "Bergson in France and intellectual leaders in Germany told me," said Senator Beveridge, "that recent flurries of empire building in the Orient should instruct the people of Europe and America. China is resting, not sleeping. She seems at the beginning of a flood-tide of national prosperity. Barbarians have before this managed to conquer civilized worlds. We must unite the peoples of Caucasian blood not only for the purpose of peace, but for the preservation of our very civilization." What a task Senator Beveridge has set for the people of Caucasian blood who represent only a handful of the worlds' population! And what a low estimate he places on the intelligence and statesmanship of the "resting" or darker hued people who had a civilization centuries before America was discovered or knew what civilization was! What complacent egotism he discovers in assuming for the Caucasian race the overlordship of the world, and that it, only, is capable of giving the right direction to the world policies which are hereafter to govern and control in the affairs of men! Senator Beveridge is, perhaps, not aware that the Asiatic mind is the profoundest in the world, and that the attempt of the present ruling race to perpetuate itself indefinitely has long ago been anticipated by Orientalls and kindred races not alien to them in color or in aspirations. The clock of God is now striking the hour of doom of the white race. Its civilization is now tottering to its fall. Its place in the Sun will soon be vacant, for it has not loved mercy, nor dealt justly nor walked uprightly before God. The very suggestion of the white races of the world against the darker races is out of harmony with Divine justice. Under this profound scheme of Senator Beveridge to deprive the Oriental and other darker races of their inherent right to share in the government of their respective countries there can be no unity, no brotherhood, no equality. The Beveridge scheme reduced to the last analysis is only racial selfishness begotten of avarice, and greed, and a desire to despoil and plunder weaker races, socalled. God will not have it so. And He is now spewing out of His mouth the nations that have worked iniquity, that have ground the faces of the poor, that have oppressed the weak and that have forgotten that there is a God in Israel whose justice sleepeth not. The present European war is the besom of destruction that is sweeping from place and power the nations that have claimed dominion with the Lord of Hosts and regarded the Almighty merely as an incident in world government. Other nations are like China, and are simply resting. At the psychological moment they will rouse themselves and shake the pillars of the commonwealths of the world. The Beveridge scheme is fifty years too late to accomplish its ends.—Washington Sun. Selecting the Golf Ball. The small heavy ball will go farther than the lighter or larger ball for the player who can hit it extremely hard owing to its less resistance from the air. Because of its weight and small size it can bore its way through the air almost like a bullet. In the case of a lady or a very light hitter I firmly believe they will get much better results with the large light ball since because of its greater resiliency it will get the maximum distance from a much lighter blow. So my advice would be for a light hitter to use the light ball, the average hitter the medium weight and the hard hitter the heavy ball. Outing Phi Beta Kappa. Phi Beta Kappa are the names of three letters of the Greek alphabet, the initial letters of three Greek words, Philosophia Blou Kubernetes, which means "philosophy the guide of life." This is the name of the oldest of the Greek letter college societies. Membership is bestowed as an honor for exceptionally good scholarship. The society originated at William and Mary college in 1776, but has extended to many other colleges and universities. There are about 17,000 names in the catalogue. Members wear a gold watch key as a badge, with emblem and inscriptions.—Philadelphia Press. They Help In a Way. "Riches are not everything," declared bitterly the poor, but honest, sultor, who had just been rejected. "They cannot insure happiness." "Perhaps not," replied the practical malden, "but they at least provide means to pay the premiums on the policy!"—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Correct. Jack—You say Jones is living above his income. Bill—Yes; he gets his income from an apartment house and lives on the top floor!—New York Globe. The nobleness of life depends on its consistency, clearness of purpose, quiet and ceaseless energy.—Ruskin. ONE CENT STREET CAR O. K Cleveland, Ohio's new 1-cent car line, the first in the world, which operates from the public square to the East Ninth street pier, will be a money maker if it can maintain an average of Sunday's business, when receipts were $57. Most of this was in pennies, a small percentage in 3-cent tickets and a still smaller percentage in nickels and dimes. "We had a three-and-a-half minute line," General Superintendent Duty said: "Each of the three cars made the trip to the dock in eleven minutes, so the passengers didn't have to wait long." The regular day service will be a car every fifteen minutes. From 5.30 to 8.30 A.M., time of arrival of boats, and 7.30 to 9.30, when boats depart, a five minute service will be maintained.—Philadelphia North American. Retribution Near at Hand "Last week I criticised Dr. Clarence Poe's race segregation scheme in these columns. My criticism embodied a plea for justice for the black man, that seems to have given some of my readers a vague uneasiness. I have no apologies to make for anything I have said about the unfair treatment of the Negro by my race. The great white race has never been fair to any of its darker hued brothers. The whole history of the race has been one of a ruthless exploitation and oppression of weaker peoples. We must adopt a different policy. Christianity is not helping things much. A Christianity that proinises a people a social equality in a world to come and denies them even a brotherly co-operation in this world, is a cheap farce that cannot mislead even a Hottentot very long. * * * "I say, we have got to adopt a different policy in our dealings with all colored races. Retribution is waiting for us just around the corner, with a terrible club. I have been wanting to say, for sometime, that we may have attempted to exploit one race of colored people too many and we are beginning to find out our mistake. Not satisfied with our extermination of the red man and subjection of the black man, we set in to despoil the yellow man. The yellow man is beginning to bother us. * * * "The whole history of our dealings with the Colored people of the world is a hideous phantasmagoria of colossal errors. In the name of Christianity and civilization we have conquered and oppressed them and a few of our wealthy class have reaped rich financial reward in the process. But for the dirty dollars a few of our rich manufacturers, exporters, bankers and railroad men have made from this oppression and exploitation, the bone-headed mass of us have inherited a world of trouble." - Elizabeth City, (N. C.,) Independent. NEGRO GETS $10,000 A YEAR. Joseph Ray is the name of the colored man who was in California with Charles Schwab, the steel magnate, and his party, for a few hours last week. Mr. Ray is the right hand man of the magnate and receives a salary of $10,000 per year. He signs Mr. Schwab's name to checks, pays all bills and arranges all details of the trip. Before visitors can see Mr. Schwab, they must first state their business to Mr. Ray, then it is up to him to decide whether or not they will be admitted. Mr. Ray has been with Mr. Schwab for many years and is rated a wealthy man. HOW IT WORKS The story comes from Louisiana that a conductor of the Texas Pacific railroad has been indicted for violating the state law that forbids a white man to ride in a coach set apart for Colored men. This con- ductor forced a sheriff-of course a white man-to ride in the "Jim Crow" car while he had a Negro prisoner in custody. This episode brings out the interesting fact that the law permits an officer to take a Colored prisoner into a "white" coach. In other words, the whites of Louisiana, who would strenuously object to having a Booker T. Washington or a Professor DuBois ride in the same car with them, tolerate the presence of a Negro criminal as all right. But everything is in the viewpoint,however.—Boston Post. DINE FORMER SLAVES IN STATE Former slaves were guests at dinner May 8 in the home of E. B. Baldwin, whose father was the owner of the slaves. Baldwin and his brother, W. P. Baldwin, put on aprons and acted as waiters. After the ex-slaves were ushered into the dining room and seated at the table, W. P. Baldwin offered a prayer of thanksgiving. The old folks made speeches, one of the oldest women giving a strong temperance talk. After the dinner was over one of the men expressed the sentiments of all when he said: "Ef I allers felt as good as I do now I'd nebber want ter go ter hebben." The dinner was prepared by the best cook Mr. Baldwin could find in South Georgia. CHINESE EDIBLE DOGS. They Are Fed Mainly Upon Daintily Prepared Vegetable Food. English bon vivants have tested the merits of the Chinese edible dog, and they pronounce it very good dog indeed. The dog is destined from the beginning for the table. Like the edible rat of the same country, it is fed mainly upon vegetable food, which is often delicately prepared and specially devised, in order to give the dog's flesh a peculiar flavor and aroma. The result is something quite different from the flesh of the ordinary dog of the western world. The genuine Chinese edible dog is known by its bluish black tongue, which is a peculiar mark of its variety. In infancy and early youth the dog's tongue is red, and upon reaching maturity and the edible age it suddenly becomes black, sometimes within two weeks. Another peculiarity of this dog is its lack of the barking faculty. It is said that the dog can bark, and on occasions does so, but these occasions are rare. Many experiments, most of them unwilling, were made with the flesh of dogs during the Paris siege. Newfoundlands and St. Bernards were preferred, under the mistaken impression that they would prove more eatable than other varieties. They proved to be detestable in all cases.—Every Week. FIRST RACE WAS BLACK FOLKS Boston, Mass.-Dr. Felix Von Luscham, speaking before the Bostoner Deutsche Gesellschaft after tracing the human race back 60,000 years to paleothic age, he concluded that the earliest people were black and originated in southern Asia. This race, according to the lecturer, migrated to western Europe and to Australia. Dr. Von Luscham, who is professor of anthropology at the University of Berlin and an honorary member of the British Association for the Advancement The Editor Gets His--Nit Consider the editor. He weareth purple and fine linen. His abode is amongst the mansions of the rich. His wife hath her limousine and his first born sporteth a racing car that can hit her up in forty flat. Lo! All the people breaketh their necks to hand him money. A child is born unto the wife of a merchant in the bazaar. The physician getteth ten golden plunks. The editor writeth a stick and a half and telleth the multitude that the child tippeth the beam at nine pounds. Yes, he heth even as a centurion, and the proud father giveth him a Cremo. Behold, the young one groweth up and graduateth, and the editor putteth into his paper a swell notice. Vea, a peach of a notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the young woman, and of her exceeding comeliness. Like unto the roses of Sharon is she and her gown is played up to beat the band. And the dressmaker getteth two score and four iron men. And the editor getteth a note of thanks from the S. G. G. The daughter goeth a journey and the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewell party. It runneth column, solid. And the fair one remembereth him from afar with a post card that costeth six for a jitney. Behold, she returneth and the youth of the city fall down and worship. She picketh one and Lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor calleth him one of our promising young men and getteth away with it. And they send unto him a bid to the wedding feast and behold, the bids are fashioned by Muntgummery Hawbuck, in a far city. Flowery and long is the wedding notice which the editor printeth. The minister getteth ten bones. The groom standeth the editor off for a twelvemonth subscription. All flesh is grass and in time the wife gathered into the silo. The minister getteth his bit. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry and a card of thanks. And he forgetteh to read proof on the head, and the darned thing cometh out "Gone to Her Last Roasting Place." And all that are akin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps. And they pulleth out their ads and cancelleth their subscriptions and they swing the hammer unto the third and fourth generations. Canst thou beat it?—Exchange. of Science, said that his views were quite different from those of a colleague, Prof. Klaatsch of Breslau, who contends that the colored race evolved from the gorilla, the pygmies of Africa from the Chimpanzee, and the Chinese from the orangoutang. The speaker commented on the intellectual possibilities of the Negro. Entered in Post Office at Martinsburg, W. Va., as Second Class Matter J. K. Clifford, Editor and Proprietor Drawer 869, and Bell 'Phone 60K Martinsburg, W. Va. 8ATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1915 That friend of ours, who formerly lived in the backwoods of Grant, Hardy and Pendleton Counties, had better attend to his own affairs, and forthwith stop referring to our style of attiring ourselves, or we will make him hard to catch. --- That one armed Negro who rescued the drowning white woman at Atlantic City, after her escort had been drowned, and thousands were looking on in awe, while her life was being lashed out, deserves a Carnegie medal, and a snug sum of money, and he should get it without delay. The present Republican city administration should bear in mind that Negroes can sweep streets just as effectively as they can cast votes. Then again, a large number of them pay taxes, and in conclusion, it is not asking too much, when Republicans are petitioned to do as well as did Democrats, the latter always giving the brother in black a share of the work when in office. The article on our front page, which was taken from the Elizabeth City, North Carolina, Independent, is remarkable for its frankness, and is wonderfully meritorious when it is taken into consideration that a Southern white man is the author thereof. More such as he are sorely needed in every section of this country. Read it, and then read it again, because it abounds in truth from beginning to end. Frederick Douglass, America's greatest orator once said: "The Republican Party is the ship, all else is the sea." Had he lived to see the bastardly making and Negro hating South in the saddle, determined to destroy the amendments, segregate, jimcrow and completely disfranchise us, with only a handful of Republicans in Congress, and were defeated by Northern, Western and Eastern Democrats, with here and there a true born Southern gentleman, he would have modified that expression. Use parties only to kill prejudice—that's fidelity to Lincoln principles—and they are God's. Mr. Bryan has a fine written argument against whiskey. Doubtless all he says is true, at least we grant it. The Pioneer Press wants Mr. Bryan to answer the following questions. 1. Does not your government allow the whiskey made you condemn? 2. Does it not charge the makers of whiskey $1.25 tax per gallon? 3 Do not you and all the rest of the high and low officers get paid off with most of this blood-money? 4. Why don't you refuse to take it? Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan has resigned owing to a difference of opinion between him and the President and his Cabinet relative to the terms of the note sent by Uncle Sam to the Imperial German Government. Opinions differ with regard to Mr. Bryan doing as he did, some averring that he is right, and others that he is in error, but the former secretary unqualifiedly says that he is an exponent of the doctrines of the "Prince of Peace," and will stand by his action, and defend himself whenever necessary. As we see it, time, the irrevocable regulator of all things, will either show whether the "Peerless One", was wise or unwise. In the interim we shall see what we shall see. From the commander of New York's "finest police squad," to the "death house" at Sing Sing prison, is a long and downward step, but it is the fate which has overtaken Former Lieutenant of Police Charles Beeker, twice convicted for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, and whose sentence to death has been affirmed for the second time by the Court of Appeals of New York. A terrible predicament this once highly respected citizen of the Empire State finds himself in! Granted. But why is it so? Simply because he met the tempter of sin and let it master him. Let others take warning from this only too sad ending of a once great man, and do right no matter what the consequences are. The Allies are at present facing one of the gravest crises which it has been their misfortune to experience since the war began, that is, they are lamentably short of ammunition. Added to this, owing to the crushing blows administered to the Russians by the Germans, the latter have 1,000,000 superbly organized and thoroughly seasoned soldiers which she is going to throw into the fray with a suddenness calculated to make the Allies fully realize that the Kaiser, Von Hindenburg and Von Tirpitz are a trio with whom the combined war lords of Europe must reckon. Germany may not suit the fancies of many, but as a military and naval topnotcher she has set the world an example never to be forgotten in the quality known as preparedness. That the Mexicans-Indian stock care no more for our threatened intervention than Japan would, goes without argument. We ought to be far seeing enough to know that Germany is backing Mexico. Akin to that Japan has unequivocally told this country that it will not stand for its discrimination on account of color. And now that the great white(?) races are butchering each other by the thousands daily, gives the parties above referred to the chance of their lives to take advantage of our helpless situation. Are we foolish enough to rely on Hawaii, and the Philippines in a struggle with Mexico and Germany? It is our candid belief if George Washington and Munroe could awake, they would urge another home war for America for Americans. I have a watch; never saw its maker; never knew my mother, but I would swear that I had one and a good one, and also that some man made my watch. On the same hypothesis, I would swear there is a great Creator that the world calls God. Now, what I want to know is, why does a just God make me industrious, honest and economical, and "call" (?) preachers to enlighten me about Him and his plans of salvation, so many of whom destroy the women of our homes and would leave their charges if the poor washerwomen and hard working men failed to pay their salaries? If they are called by such a god, I want nothing to do with him, because purity of womanhood is our greatest lever in our needed uplift. There are some good ones, but they are few and far between and it's the absolute duty of honest editors to wage a relentless warfare on them. Join the Pioneer Press, and drive them into eternal oblivion. Leo M. Frank must die. After exerting every effort available, both State and National, the Georgia Prison Commission has told the condemned man that he must expiate his crime on the gallows. This case has been followed closely by people all over the country, and nine out of ten, after mature and impartial consideration, arrived at the conclusion that Leo Frank, and not James Conley was the slayer of Mary Phagan. In the fight for a commutation of Frank's sentence from hanging to life imprisonment, his Jewish birth cut a large figure, many espousing his cause to curry favor with people of that race, much hysterical petitioning was indulged in. State Legislatures passed resolutions to save Frank, and "Billy" Sunday even "butted in", but Georgia maintained a calm and dignified men, and gave those who sentimentalized in this affair to understand that facts and not fancies would be considered by her when she arrived at her final conclusions in this now celebrated and too widely heralded case. EUROPE IT AT HOME. People who are habituated to travel abroad and have the fever on, will do well to use their time and money this year in our own country. Here the sights to be seen are as wonderful, if not superior to those abroad. West Virginia, with her serpentine railroads, crossing the Alleghanies with huge, puffing iron steeds, up the 17 mile grade exceeds for beauty and excitement, anything to be found in sunny Italy. To run through a magnolia forest enriched in perfumery by an undergrowth of honeysuckles, go to Camden-on-Gauley. While in that section go to Buckhannon, a place a hundred years hence will be the capital of West Virginia with those exquisite and inexpressible mounds, beautified with architectural beauty, will be the Rome of the world. Close to Buckhannon is a gushing spring the source of five rivers. Going from Romney to Petersburg, the county seat of Grant, you pass through the South Branch Valley. Nowhere in the state in the shape of fine farms, up-to-date homes,unexcelled stock, and an anxious to please hospitality can this section be surpassed. Following up that famous bass stream—the South Branch of the Potomac you come to Petersburg. The streets are concreted, and electric lights adorn the place. It's West Virginia's Golden Rule town, where a man's a man, and before Ex-Governor MacCorkle's predicted coal of Pendleton County shall have become famous,—for he declares said county has enough to supply the whole world for four hundred years—Petersburg will have fifty thousand inhabitants. Visitors can behold wonders in "The Gap;" go to the flowing spring, that gushes out millions of gallons twice daily at certain hours—each flow preceded by an inward thundering. Northwest 9 miles will be found Maysville, at the mouth of Greenland Gap. It's the most wonderful sight in the United States. Rocks weighing millions of tons, fully a mile high hang over the road. Fine trout are plentiful in its gurgling stream that leaps and bounds this great gap. Following the South Branch to its source, the finest timber, rugged mountains, frightful gorges and pretty valleys will thrill you. Not far from Franklin, the county seat of Pendleton, at Highfield stands a bar from which rushes a stream of sparkling water northward, and another one flows southward. Our stream is the source of the large river and the other the source of the South Branch of the Potomac. Added to all the above, the perennial ice mountain at Romney, and the vine-clad and rock ribbed hill at Harper's Ferry are delights to the eye. Go into West Virginia. MELODY DEAFNESS. To Those Who Are Afflicted With It Music Is Simply Noise. Every one has heard of color blindness, but few people are aware that there is such a malady as tune deafness. It prevents those affected from appreciating music, which to the melody deaf is nothing but noise. The most intelligent people often suffer in this way. Empress Catherine of Russia used to declare that for her music was a nerve trying din, and Napoleon I, hated any form of melody, Victor Hugo had to be coaxed by the composer who put his famous lines to music. "Are not my verses," he used to say, "sufficiently harmonious to stand without the assistance of disagreeable noises?" Doctors say that the power to appreciate music depends upon a perfect combination of the nerves and brain. Some people's nerves readily carry musical sounds to the mind, while in others nerves impede their passage to the brain cells. Good musicians are more often bored than made. Nature has provided them with nerves which instinctively carry musical chords to the brain. That is why a good musician can memorize a tune after hearing it played over once. Every note has been clearly recorded in his brain. Those with less sensitive musical nerves receive a dull impression of any music they may hear, and thus they are unable to remember it unless it is drummed into their brain by repeated playing.—Pearson's Weekly. Ingenious Air Bombs. Bombs thrown from the air are usually exploded by contact. With the Martin Hale bomb, designed specially to be dropped from aeroplanes, there is a "safety pin" which renders the bomb harmless until it has been withdrawn and until a fall of about 200 feet through the air has caused the propeller to rotate and release the firing mechanism. All destructive explosives cause damage by the actual shock of the explosion—that is, by the disturbance in the air created by the expansion of the contents of the shell, by the fragments of the shell or the bullets which it contains flying in all directions, by the fumes which may be given off on explosion and which may have a stupefying or fatal effect on people in the vicinity and by the falling of bricks and mortar displaced by the bombs.—London Mail. English as She Is Spoke. The professor who in his address on the correct pronunciation of English said he preferred "of'n" to "often" is on the winning side. No "pronouncing dictionary" with a reputation to lose ever sounds the "t" in the middle of such words as Christmas, mistletoe, oyster, often or chestnut. Good actors, whose duty it is to speak "trippingly on the tongue," can cite authority to support their pronunciation of han'kerchief and We'n'sday. And no one who knows his way about in the elocutionary field pays any regard to the spelling of such words as "extraordinary." — London Chronicle. Early Closing Scheme. She—Papa says that when coming to see me you must not come in a street car any more. He—Really! Does he expect me to walk all this distance? She—Of course not. He says all he asks is that you will come in a carriage hired by the hour.—New York Weekly. Engineering Triumph. "Why are you studying that dachshund so intently?" "I consider him an architectural triumph of Mother Nature's," explained the bridge builder. "See how nicely the stress is calculated to the span."—Judge. Our past lives build the present, which must mold the lives to be.—Sir Edwin Arnold. HIS SPEECH WAS SHORT. It Was Also Right to the Point, and the Jury Did the Rest. A Chicago lawyer tells of a prosecuting attorney in a circuit court of an Illinois court some years ago whose early education had been defective, but who was so shrewd and "long headed" that few more dangerous antagonists could be found at the bar in that region. At one time he had procured the indictment of a man for theft. The amount alleged to have been stolen was $5, and at that time the penalty for stealing $5 or more was imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary. For stealing less than that amount the punishment was confinement in the county jail without labor. The evidence proved beyond dispute the theft of a five dollar note of the State Bank of Illinois, but the prisoner's counsel brought several business men to swear that it was not worth its face value in gold, but all agreed that in ordinary transactions it would pass for $5. Over this testimony the prisoner's counsel quibbled for two hours while the prosecuting attorney listened in patience. When his turn came he arose and delivered himself as follows: "Gentlemen, I hope the learned counsel won't get offended if I don't talk but just one minute. All I've got to say is this: The prisoner don't pretend to deny that he stole our money, and all he asks of you is just to give him the privilege of stealin' it at a discount." He sat down, and the jury sent the thief to the penitentiary.—Case and Comment. TECHNIC OF PAINTING. Modern Color Methods and Those of the Old Masters. Many persons think that the paintings by the old masters owe their permanency in some degree to secret processes now lost. In the Journal of the Franklin institute Dr. Maximilian Tock points out that as a matter of fact the old masters used only those few colors (madder, for example) the permanency of which was well established, and that they avoided mixing colors known to have a bad chemical effect on one another. Incidentally he desoribes the scientific methods of detecting later day copies. Zine white, where flake white would have been used, protoplasmic remains in the cells of the wood used for the picture and the transparency of the bitumen in the shadows are proofs that a picture is not a genuine antique. In respect to deterioration the author mentions the bad effects of smoke and modern gas fumes and, after saying that either light or darkness may bleach a picture, points out that some pictures that have been kept in the dark can be restored by placing them in bright sunlight. Finally Dr. Toch condemns those modern painters who substitute the collapsible tube or palette knife for the brush on the ground that the flakes of color thus attached to the canyans will crack off and become detached. If that method had been used by the ancients no trace of their work would now exist. HOTEL POWHATAN WASHINGTON D.C. HOTEL OF AMERICAN IDEALS The Powhatan is refined, exclusive, and restful.

An important industry in Spain is the cultivation of cork trees. This tree is an oak which grows best in the poorest soil. It cannot endure frost and must have sea air and also some attitude. It is found all along the coast of Spain, the northern coast of Africa and the northern shores of the Mediterranean. There are two barks, the outer of which is stripped for use. The cork is valuable according as it is soft and velvety. When the sapling has reached the age of ten years it is stripped of its outer bark for two feet from the ground. The tree will then be about five inches in diameter and about six feet up to the branches. This stripping is worthless. The inner bark appears blood red, and if it is split or injured the tree dies. When eight or ten years more have elapsed the outer bark has again grown, and then the tree is stripped four feet from the roots. This stripping is very coarse and is used to make floats for fish nets. Every ten years thereafter the bark is stripped, each year two feet higher up, until the tree is forty or fifty years old, when it is in its prime, and may then be stripped, every ten years from the ground to the branches. —Eyebunge. Royal Kisses. The kings and high officials of Europe when they meet always embrace and kiss each other, no matter what their relations have been in the past or may be in the immediate future. This is a kiss of respect. It may be given on the lips, the cheek, the brow or the beard and is nicely adjusted, according to the age and rank of the giver. From this close personal contact it passes through many forms—kissing the hand, parts of the clothing and even the ground trodden upon, according to the idea of respect or fear inspiring the one who performs the act. The nations of the west have not adopted this ancient custom as a form of salutation, but have reserved it for the more tender relationships of life.—Christian Herald. Dumas and His Porthos. Dumas, like Balzac, was fond of his own creations. Among them all he loved Porthos best. The great, strong, vain hero was a child after his own heart. One afternoon, it is related, his son found Dumas careworn, wretched, overwhelmed. "What has happened to you? Are you ill?" asked Dumas ill. "No," replied Dumas pere. "Well, what is it then?" "I am miserable." "Why?" "This morning I killed Porthos poor Porthos! Oh, what trouble I have had to make up my mind to do it! But there must be an end to all things. Yet when I saw him sink beneath the ruins, crying, 'It is too heavy, too heavy for me!' I swear to you that I cried!" And he wiped away a tear with the sleeve of his dressing gown. An Old Indian Drum. The Sioux Indians formerly had a conjurer's drum, which they called wakanchamehagha.
