The Pioneer Press. "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882. The Power Of True Education Not the collapse of education, but the collapse of half-education, or of no education. The war proves the evil of the lack of education, not the evil of the fact of education. Education stands for fine and large judgment, for the power to weigh evidence, for the ability to analyze complex conditions, for the force to put together facts that belong together, for the power to take a wide vision—in a word,—for the trained mind. Education stands for the logical or reasoning faculty well adjusted to its work. It stands for the truth as an object worthy of search, as an ideal to be struggled for, as a prize worthy of the highest effort. Education means intellectual sympathies, the quality to put one's self into the others place. It means considerateness. It means a constructive imagination, an intellectual sense of values and of proportions, a sense, too, of intellectual detachment as well as a quality of intellectual combination. Were these the qualities which were most manifest in Berlin or Vienna on the last days of July and the first days of August in the year of 1914? It was not education, but the lack of education that caused the war. Education stands for moderation of the heart as well as of the intellect. It represents purity of motive, loftiness of purpose, unwillingness to impose upon another an unworthy aim, preference to be rather a victim than an agent of evil. It stands for self-depreciation, for humility, even for modesty, as it did in the Humanist Revival of the fifteenth century. It denotes the lack of arrogance, the absence of bumptiousness and cockiness. It intimates a possibility that one's self can be mistaken and that one's antagonists may have a right and sound interpretation. It stands for love as an emotion, as an affection, as an appreciation. It means courtesy, grace, the graces, graciousness. Were these the qualities which were most manifest in the chancelleries of Europe in July and August of the year 1914? It was not education, but the lack of it that caused the war. Education also represents a good will and means a choice for the betterment of all. It inspires endeavors for the public well-being. It means the giving of the righteous will to the state and to the individual citizen. It means obedience to the divine "Thou shalt" or "Thou shalt not." It means loving God first and loving one's neighbor as one's self. It means voluntary sacrifice for one's friend. Were these the qualities which were exercised in the European capitals during July and August in the year 1914? It was not education, but half education that caused the war. Education stands for a sense of the beautiful. It stands for toleration. It means gentleness without weakness, tactfulness without obsequiousness, mental and moral integrity, patience without sluggishness, magnanimity without visionariness, and a spirit of idealism clothing one as a garment. It represents ambitions for ends highest, deepest, broadest, and a suspension of judgment in times of crisis. It stands for the fine art of living, for the summoning of best powers for best aims. It stands for the best results achieved through wisest methods by strongest forces under happiest conditions. Were these qualities and elements to which effect was given in capitals of Europe in the months of July and August 1914? It was not education, but the lack of education that caused the war.—Charles Franklin Thwing, Pres. Western Reserve University. DO AS OF YORE In these lean and spare times when every household is skimping and cutting in order to make ends meet, the formation of any sort of organization which will help along home economy should be welcomed with open arms. Several years ago we were told that household necessities in the line of food would be cheaper, but today we find these commodities at the highest point for fifty years. Mothers have cut down the meal to a minimum and yet the pinch of the lean times is being felt. In many instances they have split in half the meat allowances per week, but still the preserves for the children and for father once and a while are costing too much and must be shaved a little or they will not grace the supper table. How is mother to meet this situation? The children crave for the preserved fruit and father when he gets a smack at it, is all smiles. Let mother do as grandmother used to do in years gone by, put up her own fruit and the problem is solved. It is a very handy art and one which all house wives should know.—Savannah Tribune. BEAUTY OF GOODNESS. To do one thing at a time, to keep doing it, to reach absolute concentration, makes the doing of good absolutely essential. The healthy forces of being rebel. The soul looks on appalled, crying its warnings. The nerves refuse to transmit pleasant sensations. There are repeated reactions against the wrong doing in the system, denials and protests that keep the mind in turbulence. When we hear of the adventures of the self-indulgers we always get biased reports. It is for this reason that they are so misleading and harmful. For example, we never hear of the excitability in this kind of living, the fever, the distraction, the upset, the loss of serenity that is so important a factor in meeting the circumstances of each day, the inability to live in the realm of self forgetfulness.—American Baptist. An Indiana mule kicked an automobile off the highway into a ditch. That's what Bryan has done to the Democratic party.—Wheeling Ingencer. Segregation's Harmfulness In a Sunday paper we noted an advertisement describing a new commodious, and convenient flat—first class in every respect and for which a first class tenant among colored people with references was wanted. The advertisement appeared in the usual way and would not have attracted unusual attention, but for the fact that in giving the location it was found to be in an alley in the rear of a number in a nice white neighborhood. Some really good people are forced by circumstances to reside in an alley in the rear of property occupied by respectable white families and it is no reflection upon them to live in such localities, but when the owner of such property indicates that the alley residences is a favored place for the home of the best colored people, that is one of the strongest objections to the segregation law as it will in the end operate to keep colored people in the alleys and other undesirable neighborhoods which will tend to destroy those sentiments and aspirations which will uplift the people. No people can make desirable and needed progress in good citizenship unless the environments are in harmony with those desires and it would be better for the civil and moral life of the people if the alley residences in all the large cities were abolished and the people lived out in the open where crime could not thrive and prosper under the cover of darkness and seclusion. American Baptist. HORSES FOR ALLIES GO THROUGH HINTON Since the first of April more than 175,000 horses have been shipped through Hinton, W. Va., to the British army, according to J. W. Graham, editor and owner of the Hinton Daily News and the Hinton Leader. Mr. Graham was in Washington a few days with D. F. Tracey, of Charleston, on business before the patent office. While there Mr. Graham gave some startling figures regarding the size of Great Britain's horse business in this country. All the horses obtained in this country for the British army, said Mr. Graham, are shipped over the Chesapeake & Ohio to Newport News, where they are loaded on vessels for England. They are all unloaded at Hinton for food, water and inspection. An average of 1,500 head of horses are handled there daily and an aggregate of about 175,000 have been handled there since the first of April. The horses have an average value of $375 each on the firing line, so that the outlay for horses which have passed Hinton has all be amounted to more than $65,000,000 for Great Britain. The handling of these horses has established a new industry in Hinton. The old baseball park has been converted into a horse hospital where the animals are inspected by veterinarians and the unfit are rejected and killed. Some forty or fifty persons have been given regular employment caring for the animals as they pass through the city, and the money that is paid for help and for feed has brought a period of prosperity to the little city of the New river. With such care have the horses been selected that it is said not more than two die as a daily average, out of the 1,500 a day which are handled and inspected there. WHISPERING GALLERIES. Old World Churches With Remarkable Acoustic Properties. The most celebrated whispering gallery is that which surrounds the base of the interior of the dome of St. Paul's cathedral, London. A person speaking near its surface can be heard distinctly by one listening near the smooth wall at the other extremity of the diameter but not elsewhere. In the cathedral of Gloucester a whispering passage leads from one alley to the opposite behind the east window of the choir. It is seventy-five feet long, six and a half feet high and three feet wide in the form of half an irregular octagon. The walls and cellings are of freestone, and the slightest whisper travels from end to end. The cathedral of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India, has most marvelous echoes and reverberating qualities, but is scarcely a whispering gallery. The whole cathedral of Girgenti, in Sicily, has this character owing to the peculiar structure of its walls. These remarkable properties also belonged to the "Ear of Dionysius," cut in the rock at Syracuse in the shape of a parabolic curve, ending in an elliptical arch. It is said that the tyrant seated in a small chamber over a hundred feet from the spot occupied by his captives by this means could hear every word spoken by his prisoners.—London Answers. If Animals Could Speak. It is a startling fact that if some animals could tell their life history they would be able to recall events which happened hundreds of years ago. A Russian eagle, for instance, would be able to remember watching with greedy eyes as one by one the French soldiers under Napoleon fell exhausted out of the ranks in their awful retreat from Moscow in 1812. There are crocodiles alive in India today which saw the first English traveler set foot there, while there are whales in the sea which may have skirted the coast of France when it was invaded in 1415. A great many elephants could recall historical events of a hundred years ago, while there are ravens still living whose memory could go back twice that period.—London Answers. Plenty of Room. The young man who writes verses was standing out in the night gazing at the sky when a friend ran across him. "What are you doing—studying astronomy?" "Go away and don't disturb me. I am gazing into infinite distance." "I don't see what satisfaction you find in that." "That's because you never had any experience with editors. You don't know what a comfort it is to find some place where nothing is crowded out for lack of space."—London Tit-Bits. The Amethyst. A good example of one of the ways in which magical properties became attributed to natural objects is the stone known as amethyst. The ancient Indian name of this stone had the sound represented by its present name. In Greek this sound happens to mean "anti-wine;" hence, without more ado, the ancients declared that the amethyst was a preventive of and a cure for drunkenness!—London Mail. Idle Dream. "Poor dad! Sister told him that the girls of her class are going to graduate in dollar gowns." "Well, what about poor dad?" What about poor dad? "He thinks a dollar is all he will be called upon to give up."—Kansas City Journal. Colored Lad A Wonder New Haven, Conn.—A colored boy broke the graduation record in the public schools of New Haven, Conn., this year, when Pritchett A. Klugh, the 10-year old son of Rev. Dr. D. S. Klugh, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist Church, graduated from the Scanton public school as the youngest member to ever leave the public school of this city. In the class with young Klugh were 150 members, all of whom being 14 years of age and more, and the appearance of this young boy of color receiving his diploma at the age of 10 was easily the feature of the commencement exercises. The record that this boy has made has created a wide stir in educational circles of New Haven, and is furnishing a topic for conversation among the intellectuals that has sent the stock of the Negro race up in New Haven 100 per cent. Investigation has found that the record of young Klugh in school was very brilliant, and his work was warmly praised by his teachers and the principal of the school. Young Klugh has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for the New Haven high school, which prepares for Yale university and when he enters high school this fall he will be the youngest candidate to ever enter the New Haven high school, which makes the feat of this boy a record that the whole race might be proud of. If he keeps up his present record, he will be ready for Yale university at the age of 14, an age when most boys are leaving the grammar school.—Cincinnati Union Scene Painting. In the past half century and more, especially since the improvement of the electric light, scene painting has become very elaborate and very expensive. Instead of being kept in its proper place as the decoration of the drama, as a beautiful accessory of the action, it has often been pushed to the front, so as to attract attention to itself and thereby to distract attention from the play which it was supposed to illuminate. Shakespeare has been smothered in scenery, and the art of the actor has been subordinated to the art of the scene painter.—Brander Matthews in Scribner's Magazine. WORKS WITH NECK BROKEN --- For more than five days John Hughes went to work, met his friends and was with his family without knowing his neck was broken and that he was near death. He complained of a slight pain, but did not think it worth while to call a physician. When about to sit down at breakfast at his home in Brooklyn, New York, Wednesday something in his neck snapped, and he fell unconscious. Doctor Ramsey, from the Kings County Hospital, said the young man's neck was broken. While swimming at Long Beach he dived from a jetty and his head hit a log. He was dazed for a few minutes, and following that felt the pain in his neck. It looks like your Uncle Samuel will have to spank Carranza.

Va. as Second Class Matter. J. L. Clifford, Editor and Proprietor. Drawer 860, and Bell 'Phone 60K. Martinsburg, W. Va. If in Mr. Bryan's judgment he always waits for topics to ripen before dealing with them, he certainly does not know when they are ripe, and has handled many green ones. If all Mayors of the United States were like Mayor Kiel of St. Louis, the signs of war would be against wrong, and the men of the nation would be brotherly and the women motherly and sisterly. The Democrats are coming to the point of reason. They want to put sugar back on the ship of protection, and along with it tea, coffee and 50 cents on a barrel of beer—it's already on barrels of whiskey. At this rate, it will take the most of the incoming session to undo what was done by the last one. In the face of all the grave, black and dirty charges this paper preferred against 'Randolph' Ramer, the school board refused to investigate them, and reelected him, and soon the sworn father of Lilly Smith's bastard child, is to take charge of our colored school. Terrible! Our duty is done. That the greater portion of the world is already at war and the rest growling is the best of evidence that the whole world is wrong, for truly "war is hell." The following is what true christianity is. Once a man spat in another man's face. He looked at him, and said: "If I could wipe your blood from my conscience as easily as I can your spit from my face, I'd take your life," and walked off. Another fellow called a man a "d——n liar." His reply and retort was: "A gentleman would not insult me and none other than one shall." If the world was full of such christians instead of being wars, earth would indeed be a "heaven below our Redeemer to know." This paper is at a loss to understand the action of the first Republican Council of Martinsburg for the past ten years. Mr. David Russler applied for and got license to open a pool room but when it became known that colored persons were going to be allowed to play there, the council compelled him to refuse to allow them to play pool or have his license revoked. This same party hunts and hauls colored voters to the polls on election days and could not win without their votes. Do they suppose Negro voters are going to stand for such slaps and not kick? They are like the rest of the human family. They like resorts of that kind precisely as do the whites, and there is plenty of law to punish them and the owner if violations had been carried on. We say boldly that the Democrats would not have done that, and after time to reflect the Republicans should be ashamed of their action in this matter. We have never taken any stock in Giles B. Jackson or anything he has had in hands or control of. Just such blatherskites, who run in where angels fear to tread are our mildewed chaps that spoil and make offensive our moral linen. So long as men will endorse such fellows, just so long will we lack for a ruling standard of the highest recognition of the powers of this nation. The folly of being afraid of hurting low Negroes' feelings is nothing less than servility in Negro blood. If the Pioneer Press had its way, it would hurt them into the whirlpools of the Niagara. The Pioneer Press has for sale one of the best poor man's printing presses, that can be found anywhere. It will do the best of work and is so simple a child can understand it. We will not only sell it cheap, but put it up free of cost, and teach any one who has common sense, to understand and run it within two hours. It's a great bargain for any one. Some brave, industrious young man try it. We would not give a bright, honest fearless editor relative to helping the race, for a hundred jackleg preachers. Believe us, the public salvation of our peculiar people lies in the work of the manly editors and teachers. It's a shame that so brave a man as Toussaint L'Overture should have fought and won Haiti's freedom and died in a French prison gloriously believing that his people would forever revere his memory by living brotherly governed by wisely changing their form of government to as near perfection as is possible by men. But on the contrary, they have done the reverse, and as we see it, the dark night of death to that republic defiantly looks them in the face—and as much as says: Your doom is fixed. Too bad. Dissension in America is as bad, and a lack of unity no better in many instances. Paris, in its 1779 revolution set them an example, and America gave them another. If both pulled through to sell government let us hope Haiti may also. We are heartily in favor of the duplication in Wheeling while the state fair is going on, of St. Louis' "play day" propaganda. We agree in toto with editor Ogden,and hope not only Wheeling,but all the towns and cities in this broad land will fall in line for an annual play day. But of course we want it to be a social affair, for rich and poor, black and white, to meet and mingle as brothers beloved, as it seems to have been in Saint Louis, Mo. The same paper agrees with Mr. Daniel Dinger that—"America, or the United States is in reality, God's country, or the new kingdom that was to be set up never to be destroyed nor left to other people." It may be as Mr. Dinger and Mr. Ogden see it, but it certainly started out contrary to its culmination, and judging from its long 250 years of the world's blackest slavery and 50 years of the worst form of constitutional freedom guaranteed to the 4,000,000 slaves, what evidence of God-endorsed assurances is it entitled so to be? If Mr. Dinger and editor Ogden were honest, industrious colored men striving to be manly men, and deprived on every hand by all other peoples, would they not think it is tinged and fringed with the flames of the lower regions. The preacher who goes about and tries to pull down another minister of the same ranks by lying and building prejudices and other unchristian acts should be drummed out of the ranks, and placed by himself as God did Cain, who killed If you want to find a real corrupted leader, a real lying leader, a real false-hearted leader, a real self-styled leader, you will find them among our ministers, and so soon as they will reconsider these self-conceited degrees so sooner will they favor God, and the world will look upon them as real representatives of our Father's kingdom. Natchez Weekly Herald. Rev. Dr. Cook, editor of the Natechez Weekly Herald, must have experienced about Mississippi and Louisiana religiously, what General Sherman did politically about Texas. It seems that chicken eaters, women lovers and money getters—sky pilots who know no more of the territory they point you to, than a monkey does about the navigation of the seas, have run about to the end of their career—God grant it so, and may the type of the Son of God, take their places and without price and the destruction of womanhood bring back this dying world to God. PIONEER PRESS APPRECIATED. Editor Pioneer Press: Dear Sir: Your excellent journal used above to the Reading Room of the Negro Fellowship League each week, but for some reason we have not received it for some time. We write to inquire the cause and to ask, will you kindly place the name of the League on your mailing list again, as we have many calls for your paper and its columns are greatly enjoyed by the men and young boys who use the quarters here to read during their leisure hours, instead of inhabiting pool rooms, saloons and other vicious surroundings. Thanking you in advance for the courtesy, we are, Very truly yours, Negro Fellowship League, 3005 State Street, Chicago, Illinois. Ida B. Wells Barnett, President. REFUSES $250,000 A YEAR! The other day, according to common report, a man born in Philadelphia sixty-three years ago come next February, turned down a perfectly good job with a guaranteed salary of $250,000 a year—something more than $100 an hour for an eight-hour day. The party back of the guarantee was the Russian Government. The man is Samuel Morse Felton, now president of the Chicago, Great Western Railroad. The job was to superintend the manufacture of munitions for the Czar's armed forces. And he turned his back on it! With a few well-chosen words—I take it words would have to be counted "well chosen" on such an occasion!—he made himself famous by declining a salary without precedent. And the contract was to run two years! In a case of this sort only one thing could be more remarkable than the man's act. That is the man himself. I do not know Mr. Felton, though for many years I have known of him. And when I take down "Who's Who" to trace his career, I find just what one usually finds when gum-shoeing a man who has achieved results—that he began at the bottom of the ladder. Somehow it seems that men who begin thus are better able to keep their heads as they climb—and one of the chief requisites for getting to the top and staying there is ability to keep your head. As Kipling says, "If you can keep your head when those about you Are losing theirs, and blaming it on you—" Well, Whoozo says Sam Felton of course they called him Sam then began as a rodman on the Chester Creek railway when he was fifteen-going-on-sixteen. A rodman is next to nothing in the engineering branch of railroading. A. J. Cassat began as a rodman and ended as president of the greatest railroad system on earth. Felton held that job two years. Then he rose to a leveler and assistant on the Lancaster Railroad, and in 1873 we find him chief engineering the Chesapeake and Delaware River Railroad. Then he began superintending railroads in various parts of the country. In the interim he has been president of eleven railroads, some of them big and some little. And he has taken some wobbly weaklings and made them stand on their feet. He has made things go, and that's why the Russian government hit upon him when they wanted some one to pull them out of their present sorry state of affairs as to munitions. Felton is a constructionist. Constructionists are optimists, although all optimists are not constructionists by a long shot. And constructionists are what this and every nation needs and wants and is willing to pay for. Of course, we've got to have the others to help pull down the obstacles that stand in the way of progress and true prosperity. But the demand for constructionists, upbuilders, always exceeds the supply. "The only jobs I have lying around loose are the ones that pay ten thousand and upwards" Henry Ford is reported to have said not long ago. And the reason ten thousand dollar jobs go begging is this—as John Wanamaker says—that young men do not put stock enough in PRINCIPLES and PERSEVARANCE. Russia's offer to Samuel Morse Felton is one of the biggest compliments ever paid a human being. The man who can fill the job Russia has on hand is SOME SIZE! Russia had some 800,000,000 men to choose from—and she picked Felton. And he was big enough to say NO. A man who began as a rodman shaking his head at the Great Bear! It almost makes you wonder, doesn't it! It ought to make YOU get busy, young-man-complaining about-the-ingratitude-o f-t he-business-world!—Leigh Mitchell Hodges in Philadelphia North American.

There occurred in London something over a hundred years ago a series of riots called the "O. P. riots," which grew out of an increase in theater prices. In 1860, after Covent Garden theater had been burned to the ground and rebuilt, it was reopened under the management of John Kemble, one of the Kemble family of great actors, with an increased scale of admission prices. The new theater was all right, and Kemble was popular, but the theater going public resented the increase of prices. On the opening night when Kemble, who was to play, Macbeth, attempted to make an explanation speech he was hooted down by demands for "old prices," and night after night people crowded the house, caused on the seats and interrupted the players with cries of "O, P," old prices. The disturbance continued for several weeks, the people wearing "O, P," badges and displaying big "O, P," placards. The theater was closed for several days, but when it was opened the trouble began again. Seats were destroyed and windows broken. Legal proceedings were taken and failed. The municipal authorities, assisted by a governor of the Bank of England, finally brought about a compromise.—Philadelphia Press. ART OF BAIT CASTING. Landing the Lure That Coaxes the Battling Black Bass. The bait eater! What memories of hillypadded lakes, shimmering in the burnished gold of the seating sun, of a rosette twilight peace, when the lake is one vast mirror; of furious battles with that bulldog of the sweet waters, the black bass, are his! A most difficult art, one that requires more than a medium of practice to acquire—to place that lure precisely in a given spot, forty or fifty feet away, where a bass may lurk—not near the spot but right in it, mind you—to land that lure so as to simulate a frog or minnow naturally leaping or jumping to escape possible attack by a bass; to do all this with a short rod and high speed reel—casting the lure as a small boy throws an apple from the end of a stick—to do this with accuracy and deftness is no unworthy ambition And after the strike comes a battle between a five pound fish and a 150 pound man, equalized by fair tackle, that will put the exhilaration of eternal youth into any man—especially if he proves himself worthy to beat the fish at his own game—to take him with all the handleups imposed by the necessary tackle and win out against all the smugs, tactics, leaps and plunges, rushes and feints employed by the battling bass—Warren H. Miller in American Forestry. The Kind of a Friend to Have. I have a friend who calls on me every now and then and always gives me a new lease on life. He makes me think more of myself; makes me more ambitious, more determined to see my opportunities and to make the most of them. His calls are like the coming of spring after a long, cold winter, which awakens the sleeping buds and cails out the flowers. The sunshine of his cheerful mind, the alchemy of his optimism, awakens me to renewed effort and encourages me to outdo myself. I am never too busy to see him, and I always urge him to stay, because his presence makes me a larger man, makes life seem more worth while than ever. He helps me to get a new grip upon myself. He arouses me, so that I feel equal to any task when he leaves.—Christian Heard. Stern Father—It was after 11 o'clock when that young man left last night. I want you to understand. Pretty Daughter (interrupting)—But, papa, I was so deeply interested in the news of his uncle's death that I didn't notice how late it was. You see, his uncle died in Africa last week and left him $400,000, and of course— Stern Father—As I was going when you interrupted me, I want you to understand that he can stay just as late as he wants to. I didn't mind if the gas meter does have to work overtime occasionally.—Indiana Star. How Purple Dye Was Discovered It is often said that the old Phoenicians discovered the purple dye in the murex shell by observing a dog which had eaten one of the moltisks and thus colored his chops with a rich purple stain. The students were accustomed to hunt the murex by the assistance of pointer dogs. Some of the myths say that Heracles by the aid of his dog first discovered the purple murex. Her Vague Views "I asked for alimony of $50 a week. I see women are getting that right along." "But, madam," expostulated the law- ver. "your husband is earning only $12. "What's that got to do with it? I thought the government provided the alimony."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Standing Order. "Before we were married he had a standing order with a florist to send me a bunch of roses every morning." "And since marriage?" "He has a standing order with an employment agency to send me a cook."—Judge. Age asks with timidity to be spared intolerable pain. Youth, taking fortune by the beard, demands joy like a right. —Stevenson HIGH VELOCITY STARS. Their Fearful Rate of Speed In Space Is Somewhat Puzzling. The average velocity of stars ranges from about six kilometers, or between three and four miles, per second for "young" stars to about thirty kilometers per second for "old" ones. But notable exceptions occur. At Mount Wilson solar observatory of the Carnegie institution some stars have been found to move with velocities of 141, 150, 179, 233...316 and even 325 kilometers per second, the highest speed yet known. These high velocity stars are sometimes described as runaways because they seem to be quite beyond the control of the gravitational power of the universe. At their speed the attraction of the entire known stellar system would be wholly insufficient to check the star's career through space. The astronomer, Simon Newcomb, once calculated that the maximum velocity attained by a body starting with velocity zero at an infinite distance and passing through a stellar system containing 100,000,000 stars each five times as massive as our sun and distributed throughout a disklike spheroid of certain extent cannot exceed 40 kilometers per second. Yet the star "Groombridge 1880" has a speed nearly nine times this value, and the massive star Arcturus has a speed probably four times this value. If existing velocities owe their magnitudes to the gravitation of the system the quantity of attracting matter in the whole stellar system would have to be at least eighty times that assumed by the calculations of Professor Newcomb.-Baltimore American. HE ASKED FOR DONALD. And Much to His Surprise He Got the Answer He Sought. Dr. Norman Macleod, the famous Scottish divine, before visiting India, called on an old highland woman in Glasgow, says a writer in the Scottish American. "When ye gang tae Indin," he said, "ye'll be seein' ma Donal that went awa tae India ten years ago an' never sent the scrape of a pen tae his mither since." "But, Katie," said the doctor, "India is a very big place, and how can I expect to find him?" "Oh, but ye'll just be askin' for Donal. What for no?" So, to please the old woman, he promised to ask for Donald, and he, conscientiously kept his word. At various ports he made inquiry among British ships, although it seemed very much like looking for a needle in a bale of hay. But it is the unexpected that happens. As Dr. Macleod's sterner went up the Hagli river an outward bound vessel passed close by. A sailor was leaving over her bulwark, and, moved by a sudden impulse, the doctor shouted out: "Are you Donald Mactavish?" "To his intense surprise the man answered. 'Yes.'" Dr. Macleod had only time to shout, "You're to write to your mother" as the vessels drew apart. The result of his amazing meeting was that the old lady received a penitent letter from her long neglectful son. Two Sides Willis—Why don't you go to church? Gillis—Too far. Why don't you go?

"If the sun should go out how long would it be how distant would appear on the earth?" asks a reader. Eight minutes, eighteen seconds and five hundred and sixty-six one-thousandths of a second! At the end of that brief interval of time the blue curtain of day would disappear as if an almighty hand had snatched it off, and the dome of night, spangled with stars, would instantaneously arch the earth. We would be plunged into darkness so quickly that for a moment nothing would be visible. Then the piercing rays of the stars would begin to affect our eyes, and after that, gradually, our immediate surroundings would daintly emerge from the gloom. There would be startlight, but no moonlight, for the moon shines only while reflected sunlight. At an a the disappearance of the light would be the thing most troublesome to us, but as time went on a chill would begin to creep over the sunless earth, and out of the dark and frigid air, all around the globe, a puffled snow would descech, as the atmosphere moisture condensed. When days and weeks had elapsed the awful cold of outer space would chill the atmosphere down to the earth's surface and animal and vegetable life would alike persh in the endless winter of universal night!—Garrett P. Serviss in New York Journal. ACTION OF PEROXIDE. It Cleanse a Wound, but Does Not Aid in the Healing Process. "It would be well for people to understand what peroxide of hydrogen will do and what it will not do," he marked a dentist just after extinction two old roots on which a large amount had formed. "It is one of the least if not the very best, antiseptic we have, but it has no healing qualities. Many people imagine that it will help a sore place in the month, yet don't just what it will not do. "I have just injected peroxide and water into the cavities in the gums from which I extracted those roots. I did that to destroy the pus that had been left behind by the abscess, for that is the use of peroxide. It unclearly chemically with the pus, and kills the germs that make it. But this is all that it does. And if you continue to use it you will retard the healing instead of hastening it. Peroxide, if properly used, has injured almost as many mouths as it has benefited. The sore place in your mouth is clean now and all it needs is something to keep it clean while nature heals it. Peroxide will not do that, in fact, it will retard it." The dentist then presses a hearing wrench. There are many such on the market, but any one leaving a tooth pinned is foolish to select his own. New York World.

The City. Cities are made, not born. No two cities are alike. The sum of one city is never equal to all the parts of another. Once a city, it is always a city; sometimes only a dust heap. A city is made up of a part of the country filled with inhabitants. It consists of houses, streets and debts. No city is complete without a hospital and a franchise plant. The hospital is used to shelter its victims and to provide its surgeons with plenty of working material. The franchise plant enables it to support politicians. A city without politicians would be like a steam laundry without any steam. Cities are an antidote for crimes. Up to date, however, no crime has been found for the antidote—Life.

How Money May Be Wasted by Select- ing the Wrong Colors. “Talk about banding out free gag ranges or renting them out at a nomi- nal rental,” suid a man in the employ of @ gas compuny; “there 1s another Item that encourages gas consumption, and that is wall papers. “If L were running the business I would hand out free wall papers. But I would do the choosing. ich deep greens and [yrowns—they are the col- ors that bring up your bills and our profits.” How many people realize that a big percentage of their gas money may be sunk into their walls aud wasted? It muy be only a mutter of color of your wall paper whether you lght one or three burners. White walls, of course, ubsorb the least ght, only 30 per cent, but nearly everybody wants some color to meet the eye. “A chrome yellow absorbs only 88 per cent. Paper of an orange shade Tobs you only of 50 per cent of your Ught. It fs when you get inte the reds and greens and browns that the light be: ging to dim, A dark green wall paper, 80 restful to the eye, absorbs 82. per cent of the Heht. And paper of a deep chocolate leaves only 4 per cent of the Nght rays for usc. Its power of ab- sorption Is 96 per cont.—New York Sun, NATURE AS A DESIGNER. If You Need a Model of Equilibrium Study the Kangaroo. There was a certain college professor Of machine design who was as original in his views us he was able in his sub- Ject. One of his pet theories was the Interrelation between mature and cor- rect design. “Boys,” he would say, “there has been only one designer who never made a mistake, and the more we study his work the better machines we will build. When you put legs under a machine think of @ horse or a cow, and get them ag far apart as you can, Don't xet too much overhang at elther end, “And, speaking of a counterbalance, study the kangaroo. ‘There 1s no pret- tler example of equilibrium in all po: sitions. The further over he leans the more his tail comes into action off the ground. And again, in speaking of general design, wherever possible, try to work for elasticity as against rigid. ity. You find very Mittle of éhe rigid in nature, and little trees often sur: vive a gale by bending, where big ones are blown down.” All of which was undoubtedly very true, and made more of an inpressior on his hearers than some of the imoré complicated mathematical demonstra. tens that followed.—Jobn I. Van De- venter in Engineering Magazine. The Alarm Clock Cure. A writer in the Farm and Fireside declares that the surest cure for brood) hens is.an alarm clock, He says: “Some years ago 1 was endeavoring to break up a sitting ben, but my ef. forts were in vain. Old Yaller con. tlaued to sit. Finally I took a smul alarm clock and set it so it would off in a few minutes. I placed it in one corner of her nest and watched It went off. And so did Old Yadler She left the nest und stood dazed for one horrified instant, and then, with on¢ shrill squawk, she ran out of the hen. house and flew over the park fence and began to hunt for bugs in the grass. “She not only stopped sitting, but she stopped clucking, and in a short time began to lay. I have since tried this method on more than 100 broody hens with complete success.” neiasane ee Pai. i F SN q (en \ Why | 4 WW not give your | P SW boy and girl an | = ‘ > GR, opportunity to ¢. oa. make their home | t \\ study easy and | {\ effective?
