THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VIII. A Merry Ch BLACKS PROTECT THEMSELVES! Mississippi Negroes Take a Stand Against Brutal White Ruffians. If the press dispatches of the Mississippi riot are true which state that the Negroes are getting together for their own protection, it is the best news we have heard for years. Everything that walks, creeps or flies tries to protect itself except the American Negro. Since 1878, the Mississippi red nocks and poor whites have taken every wicked and damnable advantage of the hard-working industrious Negro. He has been subject to every inhuman law that could be placed upon the statute books of that state, which almost reduced them to slavery. The plantation continued to be the home of the overseer and the slave driver who changed the name to farmer. A few scant school houses, poor teachers, poor pay, mean, contemptible officers, who are duty bound to see that the Negroes are kept almost in absolute ignorance. When the chief executive of the state of Mississippi says that education is a detriment to the race, it is time for action on the part of those who are men of the race. The only advantage is for the Negroes of that state who own property and business, those who believe in fair play as no special privileges for anyone, those who love their wives, mothers and daughters to sake a firm stand against the further continuation of these outrages by standing together buying guns and ammunition and defending their honor and that of their women, whom Vardaman's kind are trying to debauch every day. Yet he says that the Negroes are unfit for citizens. Yet there are more white men living with colored women in that state than in any other state in the union. There is no doubt about stopping these outrages. If you can't get guns and ammunition, get matches and coal oil, and when the officers and business interests can't give protection to your homes it is better that everybody sleep under the canopy of Heaven. Those who engage in mob violence lynching and burning Negroes won't have time to devote to their national spirit for fighting flames, this beats all the gatling guns in the country. The laws of a country must protect all its citizens alike or else there will be a continual turmoil. That class of rednecks and poor whites of the South is injuring the standing of that section of the country. We are glad the Negroes of Mississippi are beginning to find their strength. The progressive Negro will not stand harsh treatment much longer. The low and vicious Negro is like the low and vicious white man, both are forever trying to lead the community at the cost of the tax payers. If the good and loyal white man won't join the progressive Negro then he must stand the results. Just as sure as there is a God in Heaven, there will be a reckoning of vengeance on those states which block the progress of industrious colored people, and that soon. CLARKSVILLE, TEX Mrs. J. A.

After roll call he reported the result to company commander Lieutenant Lawson, and company was ordered around to rear of quarters, where orders were issued to take position of defense to support Co. C on the walls. The company remained in that position about one hour; orders were then issued to form company and call the roll again which he did, and all men answered to roll call except two men, Elmer E. Brown and John Brown, on special detail. Affaint then received orders to send an officer after them. He sent Corporal Harris, who returned with the two men, which made the roll complete and all men accounted for. The company was dismissed and ordered to remain on duty until further orders. The company was then ordered to put away their rifles and go to bed. Next morning at 7 o'clock, at drill, rifles were inspected and company then relieved Company C, Twenty-fifth Infantry. NUMBER 51 This Week! POOR WEITES MUST WORK! Metropolitan Insurance Co., Willno Longer Let Blacks Support Them. The Metropolitan Insurance company has notified its agents to quit insuring Negroes. We are glad of it. The class of policies they wrote among the colored people was only for funeral purposes and only made jobs for a lot of poor white men to go around and collect as well as to influence Negroes to take out policies. Most anyone can save enough money to be buried with. There are insurance orders and secret lodges among the Negroes that will bury the dead. They also care for the sick, sit at the bedside and administer to their wants, look after the widows and orphans, and escort the remains to their last resting place for less money than the Metropolitan Insurance company. We rejoice in the highest because of this kind act. Let Negroes carry from $500 to $2000 insurance for the protection of those left dependant. THE CAPITAL HAS IT We shall offer a piano to the most popular lady in our next issue. content to run one year. The Topeka Capital refused to keep the names of the colored girls who entered the contest for the piano; they don't allow colored people to contest for their prizes, but will take their money. Now watch the Capital's subscription grow among the Negroes. If the colored people would learn to take a paper which is interested in their welfare and pay for it they would soon be in a position to get a little recognition for their money. Now, be wise, colored citizens, and instead of paying $5.20 per year to get a curring 365 days in the year, pay $1.50 for a paper that will give value received. Please learn something before it is too late. VINITA. I. T. The past week cold weather was the order of the day and coal sold for 15 to 25 cents per bushel. I. E.

It Takes Nerve Everything depends upon your nerves. It is nerve force that causes it fire to direct the motion of your body. it is nerve force that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your veins; it is nerve force that uses your stomach to digest food your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact, nerve force is the power that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, cannot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and your system run-down. To restore this quality take Dr. Miles' Nerve which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy without strong nerves. "For adults in years in Older Nerve and Anti-Pain Falls have been my close companions. Daily in married life, with raising children my nerves become all worn out, I will not sleep, had no upstairs bedroom very bad and had noisy spills. If I begin using Dr. Miles' Nerve, and at once I begin to improve, and soon found myself in perfect health." MILN 9 L. LOUGHTON 824 Pittsburgh St. New Castle, Pa.

JOHN RICH Attest. Attorney for Plaintiff (NEAT) I S. CURKIN, Clerk. First published O t. 26th 1905. and "Salted II satisfactorily." Our new house was to be finished in the fall, and by that time all of our extra capital would be in shell also. I was trying to think of some man but inexpensive way to furnish the second story rooms when And Ant come to visit us for a most sweet writer in the New Idea Magazine. "Twent) yeats like the carpet question did not worry young housekeepers for every bride was expected to have a fine web of rug carpet to be in with and really I think there is nothing prettier or more suitable for upstairs bedrooms than the soft tones of a well made rug carpet," said Aunt Ann after I had told her of my plums and the size of my purse "But how can I make one?" I asked after thinking of all of the castoff garments in the family. "Itly going to work," she replied, "and when you run out of material at home call on your aunts and cousins." So we begin at once and soon find all our material collected. "To insure a smooth, even carpet we must use all cotton rugs and cut them all of such width that when woven will be of uniform thickness. Rugs cut from soft goods will be cut up closer in the wearing than those cut from stiffer material and should be about as thick as six ply of the chain or an oil straw when woven into the carpet," said Aunt Anna as she rolled and twisted a strip between her fingers. First we cut in strips all the dark and all the bright colored rags. These we mixed well, lapping the ends about an inch and sewing them diagonally across with the machine. Not stopping to clip the thread each time, we soon had a long strip sewed, and then, clipping it apart, we wound it into balls of about one pound each. We had decided to make rugs 9 by 12 feet. These would require twelve yards of yard wide carpet. Each square yard of carpet requires one pound of rags, so we stopped when we had sewed twelve pounds of rags. The rags were sewed hit and miss and of so many colors that we selected the chain in six different colors, a pound of each, and had it laid thread about so that there would be no stripes. Besides the rags the carpet cost: Six pounds of chain, at 25 cents per pound, $1.50; twelve yards weaving, at 10 cents per yard, $1.20; total, $2.70 A Convenient Kitchen Table The design shown berewith illus trates a table that represents not a little experience and consideration of what goes to make the most convenient table, says the Ladica' World. It has a large top, which keeps dishes and pans from getting into inextricable confusion, and it has a large num- A KITCHEN TABLE ber of drawers, which are always convenient, and also closest room. Two slides pull out, on which pans may be set when one is sitting at work at the table, while in the long space under the center of the table is a chance to hang a multitude of kettles and other kitchen utensils. These are protected from dust by a washable curtain that slides upon a rod at the front of the opening. The French Apron Fed. The wearing of aprons is one of the old useful fashions now being revived, greatly to the saving of our frocks and the comfort of the wearsers. The quettish apron has been set aside for awhile, but is now once more asserting itself. The strictly useful has always held its own. The French have turned a kindly eye to them, and in the days of Louis XIII women wore them and their bunch of keys, showing they were veritable housekeepers. In the time of Louis XIV, ladies of the court dressed them when employed in needlework and other suits, and it is from that period we are restoring the airy nothings of lace and muslin to our favor. Sometimes they are of light colored crepes de chine, worked in gold. More useful ones of thicker fabric have large pockets. These are adorned with pretty ribbon bows, and these ribbons sometimes draw up the pocket. Sometimes strong linen aprons are laced with ribbon at the edge by means of eyelet holes. A causing item For housekeepers. A preserver of time and patience is something to wrap the silver in when it is to be laid away for company use. It is a tissue paper in which there is no sulphur, and it positively keeps the silver clean and bright any length of time says a correspondent in an exchange. --- Notes From Jewelers' Circular. Elevate link buttons in amethyst and aventurine are rinned in plain gold. Etched and hand chased silver in scroll and flower designs is becoming popular. Little receptacles for hotpins are of the gypsy little style or in the vase- like form of silver. Fascinating little bandy pins are in sets of three in hard skin cases. Peacock and other feather designs are shown in fine enamels and gold. Insects, animals, forms, leaves and ways to flowers are now generally util- ized as motifs in original and charm- ing designs of standard articles of jewellery. Among the stones upon which fashion at present bestows her approval are the pindot, amethyst, tourmaline, aquamarine, floron, garnet and the new American stone, kunzite. NORMAL. ALA. Miss Ida G.

"There is a sentimental Tommy in all most every school," said Michael King of Lewiston as he leaned over the counter of his cafe on Main street and cut a luscious pumpkin pie. "There was one in our school when I was a boy. He was Tommy Martin, and he was a mighty smart little follow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every bird nested, where the Mimus grew the thickest and where the high top sweetings tell first; but, to you, he couldn't remember his lessons. He was critical in many matters. He knew all that was passing politics of the state and nation, was off in his history lesson. One day he came in late and couldn't keep thoughts on his book. On his way to school he had seen a big mud turtle by the side of the track, and he had to put a big rock on him to hold him till night, and his anxiety lost the turtle should get away blinded his eyes. He hoped that somehow the teacher would pass him over. He listened to the other children reciting, with a big mud turtle crawling away before his eyes with a rock on his back, but finally the teacher's eyes fell on him. "Tommy Frazler, what battle was Lord Nelson killed in?" "Tommy was in despair, but he found a way." "Did you say Lord Nelson? he sat cautiously. "Yes" "Which battle?" "Yes, certainly." "Well," said Tommy as the light of inspiration broke over him—'well, I specks it must have been his last.'" A Lesson From Flics. It was in a country school, and I was hearing my little second reader class. The lesson that day was a story about dice, their curious ways and habits. Among other things the story said that dice always kept their faces clean and then went on to tell how they rubbed their feet over their heads, as could often be seen by watching them. The last thing in the lesson was the question, "What lessons can boys and girls learn from the dice?" I asked the children to answer the question. Only one small boy ventured an answer, and that was, "To wash our faces with our fe Christian Register.

If there can be said to be any difference in the shapes of derby hats that difference lies in the crown, which this season is much higher. It is predicted on good authority that representative spring shapes will show a decided preference for extreme crowns. Attention still centers on the efforts to create a style for brown derbies, though the public shows little or no disposition to accept them so far. Manufacturers' new samples show a variety of shades in brown, but the best known shops are not predicting a successful season for them. A new departure in the derby hat which seems to have caught the public fancy is the extensive use of fine materials. The texture, material and trimming and the silky appearance of the felt proclaim at once that quality is there and so clearly evident that even the unpracticed eye appreciates the difference. While the price $0.4 may stand in the way of an immediate purchase, the man who once wears a finer derby is loath to return to the regulation quality. The rich appearance of the more expensive hat and the durability and preservation of its color and shape affect the slight increase in cost. Too many men hesitate to change the shape of their derby once they have found a becoming block, and it is really a difficult thing to convince the man of painter ideas concerning dress that he should adopt one of the new high crown shapes. For the man who does not fancy a high crown there is a rather flat crowned derby with a some . Beginning at the top the cut shows the opeam hat of 1866, the high crowned derby, the "Master William," the "knockabout" and the alpine. what pointed brim, which is more becoming to certain types than the high crown. Soft hats have taken the season by storm. More styles in these are shown than for many years back. An unprecedented departure the soft hat has taken is its universal use for evening wear. The hat so used comes in black only, is well made and lined with satin. The name that distinguishes it from the alpine is "Turdee," and it may accompany all styles of evening clothes and go to almost any function with dignity. The most popular soft hat of the season is made of belly nutria. The material is taken from the under portion of the little animal, which inhabits the Brazilian boundary along the Plata river. A strip of the belly is taken from the pelt and put through certain procession which reader it as soft and fine as the coilest alik. The pelt turns water and does not spot with palm or snow. The nutria is similar to our beaver, but is smaller in size, and it produces the finest material for hat making on the market with the exception of beaver. The soft hats made from it come in several shades, but soft fawn color seems to be the most popular. There are several shapes also. The cottage boy wears his hat with a ring crushed in the crown. This style is called "Master William." Then there are the "tie-scope," the "knockabout" and another style which to a considerable degree resembles the alpine. Silk hats are always interesting, just as are ladies' evening hats, and the shapes change from one season to the next. Very young men wear crowns a trifle less curved or boiled than the cut represents, if there is any perceptible difference in the shape. On the other hand, styles in such hats for older men have the bell crown much more unphasured and are a bit larger and heavier looking. The middle aged man wears a grongrain silk band on his silk hat, while for the younger man is substituted a narrow band of cloth. Owing to the increased popularity of the soft black hat already described for evening wear there has been a decided decline in the use of the opera hat since early fall. Designer. Fashion's Babers. Ribbons are extensively used in dress trimming. The bag o' mutton is the latest revival in sleeves. Extremely popular are all sorts of braid garments. High standing collars hold their own again on outdoor garments. Ribbon embroidery is seen on the newest evening gowns and winters. Very smart are the capes and capes sleeves on the newest coats and dresses. The French "Broad roll" twist in the fashionable back hair dressing for the high collure. The dart is in again—the old fashioned soam that runs in pairs each side of the bodice front and fits like a glove. Very light shades are replacing the "all white" gloves, light tan and most being favorites. These are worn not only with gowns to match, but also with these in contrast. HER DAINTY SOUPS. A Wife Experience and a Common That Points a Moral. "Aren't men funny?" said the little bride who was learning how to cook. "Here is a whole painful of soup stock that has got to be thrown out just because of a form of mental indignation that has attacked John since he saw it. "Why, we lived for weeks and weeks on this very stock or some just like it. You know, one of the things I learned at cooking school was how to make soup stock. So the very day we came back from the honeymoon I made up a quantity of it and put it in the refrigerator. John likes soup, so we commence dinner with it every day. It was awfully easy just to take a few spoonfuls of the stock and season it one day with tomatoes, the next day with peas, the next day with celery, and so on. John it us as though he were fanished and complimented me so that I finally took out my bowl of stock and showed him how I made it. "What," he said, "I've been eating the very same soup every day and thought I was getting infinite variety? I suppose," he flung at me, "you fancy a soup by any other name would seem as tasty. I thought there was an awful resemblance between those daily portions of liquid refreshments. Why, it's just like those cheap perfumes that they make all in one big bottle and pour into different shaped bottles and label with different names." "And from that day to this," finished the disappointed bride, "he has looked upon my soups with suspicion and my cooking with contempt." "My dear," said I experienced housekeeper, "some day you will learn that what a man does know won't hurt him and that it is when the domestic wheels revolve in the dark and he can't see them round that he appreciates your house eating. Telling a man how you do things is just as disillusionizing as giving him a peep behind the scenes at a comic opera." —New York Press AN ODD BOOKCASE. One That Will Hold Large as Well as Small Volumes. If you have ever bought bookcases you know that it is practically impossible to find one that is suitable for holding both large and small volumes. To meet this want here is an attractive design. The case occupies no more room than one of the everyday style, but observe how ingeniously it is made. ```markdown ``` FOR BOTH LARGE AND SMALL BOOKS You see the point, don't you? A good part of the space is reserved for small books, but at one end the shelves are so placed that large volumes may be set upon them from the open side of the case, the sides of the books being exposed rather than the backs. Of course the idea may be carried out simply or elaborately, according to the taste and skill of the handy man or woman who takes it up.—Ladies' Home Journal. Like Mistress, Like Maid. "The manners and temperament of the mistress of a house are reflected in her servants." An enterprising book agent made this statement. "The manner in which the servant answers my summons to the front door is almost invariably the clew to what kind of treatment I may expect from the mistress. When a maid appears and wears a forbidding scowl on her face I can be absolutely certain that the woman of the house is a person of a very uncertain temperament. If, on the contrary, I am greeted with a smile and something that seems to approach cordiality I enter the house feeling relieved, for I know that even if the mistress refuses to buy the books I have to offer she will do so in a manner that will make no feel that I am a human being trying to earn an honest living and not a social cost. Servants reflect the atmosphers of a household, just as children reflect the breeding of their parents."—Philadelphia Record. Dangerous Use of Arnica. While arnica is one of the drugs, it sluded in nearly every household me tine chest, it is doubtful if the ave age mother, who is wont to apply it so freely to the fingers and toes of her little ones, realizes the risk she runs. Although many home remedies call for the use of arnica, it is said to be highly dangerous to apply it to the skin unless greatly diluted. One part arnica to five parts water, the proportions commonly advised, is said to form a lotion the use of which is attended with great danger. A correspondent who has looked up the subject says that arnica should be diluted more than ten times "If used in full strength," she says, "arnica will cause paralysis. A good combination is that of one teaspoonful of arnica to four tablespoonfuls of witch hazel, and even then it should be used in moderation, as experience has shown."

It has given perfect satisfaction to the hundreds who have used it without one single exception. One treatment positively stops the hair from falling out. Address all communications to, Mme. C. J.

The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha River recalls the campaigns of the civil war. Kuropatkin fortified in the tracks where the battle left him, and so did his enemy. The Russian fortifications are known to be formidable, and doubtless those constructed by the Japanese are equally strong. Early in the civil war the spade was at a discount, but in 1851 both the northern and the southern armies fell to making rifle pits and breastworks as soon as a deadlock occurred in the fighting. The Confederate General Lee, in his retrograde movement from the Wilderness battlefield to James river, fortified the lines taken up successively at Spotsylvania, North Anna River and Cold Harbor. Grant forged his way up to the Confederate outposts and also fortified his lines. In the end he gave up trying to burst through the enemy's strong barriers and moved forward by the flank. The same methods characterised the Confederate retrograde movement from Dalton to Atlanta, Ga., led by General Johnston. Johnston met every advance of his opponent, Sherman, with strong fortifications. Sherman fortified the ground taken as he pushed his army step by step against the enemy's reserve lines. Prolonged contests always end in a brute struggle for the mastery, and finally the the breastwork, the parapet, in the place of human bodies to clets and shells. In this respect warfare has but the same power to the old problem—the spade. Sending Christmas Presents by Mall. The approach of the Christmas season brings anything but pleasant anticipations to the railway mail clerks who handle the thousands of presents sent through the malls. Their labor are greatly increased by the imperfect manner in which a large percentage of the packages are put up, in many cases being so poorly fitted that they come apart long before they reach their destination. Speaking of it the other day a mail clerk said if people would take the trouble to put the article in a box it would have a great deal of unnecessary worry and labor at a time when the clerks are badly overworked, and the present would reach the person for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A shoe or a corset box or a breakfast food carton makes a package of convenient size for handling in the mails. Glass, china or fragile articles of any description should be packed in wooden boxes. Packages should be securely tied and plainly marked with the address of the sender in the upper left hand corner. Postage should be fully prepaid, 1 cent an ounce for merchandise and 1 cent for two ounces on printed matter, including books, photographs, pictures, etc. --- Federation in Central America. Some of the politicians and party leaders of Central America are reported to be making determined efforts to secure a union of the five republics of that region in an offensive and defensive alliance against the whole world, with the particular purpose of resisting imagined encroachments upon their rights and territory by the United States. Aggression by this country is not at the present time no threatening as to demand the formation of such an alliance, but a union of the states between Mexico and the Isthmus would undoubtedly injure to the benefit both of those states themselves and of their larger neighbors. It would give a much greater assurance of permanent peace among them than now exists. The federation movement received a considerable impetus from the recent convention at Port Corinto, at which Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras were represented. Costa Rica sent no delegates to this meeting, but her eminent men express them solves as in hearty sympathy with the federationista. This country is not alone in having a serious immigration problem with which to contend. England has discovered that within a comparatively short time she has convicted over 18,000 aliens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $000,000. Furthermore, the infux of aliens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tollers. Many of the aliens are paupers and become a burden upon the communities where they settle. Brigadier General Story, chief of artillery of the United States army, makes the encouraging announcement that our new coast defenses render our large cities as nearly impregnable as Port Arthur. He insists, however, that more artillerymen are needed to keep the forts and their guns in their present state of efficiency. The dalai lama is reported to have arrived in Russian dominions, but he didn't take his late kingdom with him. Great Britain had a string on that. The muskrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the usual "all kinds of" weather. The zemstvos of Russia is a historic institution, and collectively the zemstvos, since they exist in every district, may be considered the very center of Muscovite patriotism. They have in part the characteristics of the New England town meeting and the county boards or councils of all the states. No one has ever questioned the purity of motive of their members, who are elected by the people and serve without pay, or their devotion to the czar and the empire. As to the duties or progenitors of the zemstvos there are two opinions. The advisers and ministers of the czar who hold the views of the late M. de Plehve would have them attend to purely local affairs and in that sphere be as public spirited as they choose. On the other hand, M. de Witte always sought their co-operation in carrying out administrative reforms and urged them to speak their minds freely upon the condition of the peasantry. The first contact of the Czar Nicholas II, with the zemstvos who came after his inauguration, when he received the homage of his subjects. Representatives from all the zemstvos of all the Russias gathered in a courthouse hall and presented addresses one after another, in terms of laudation of the new ruler. One zemstvo-only one took the opportunity to dark back to the days of Alexander II and expressed the modest hope that the grandson of that liberal monarch would not restrict his confidence wholly to the bureaucracy, but would let the voice of his people be heard through their chosen representatives, the zemstvos. At this suggestion the young autocrat turned wiltfully upon it, whose assemblage and stamping his foot, declared that they must four or renounce such chimerical notions for he would have none of them during his reign. In so far as lies in their power the sensitives have stood between the common people and the oppressive agents of the central government. Among the present reign they have attempted to exercise the punishing power in local offenses, but this has been sternly overruled. One of the ours advisers declared "Questions of the mayor have no more to do with law courts than questions of family life. If a father may chastise his son severely without invoking the help of the courts the authorities, local, provincial and central, should be invested with similar power to imprison, flog and otherwise oversee or punish the people." In other words, every provisional governor and every petty pennant prefect should exercise the irresponsible and whimical power of an autocrat without recourse to or regard for law. The Liberals of Russia are not banded against monarchical institutions, since these are necessary to the working out of a national destiny, nor against the ruling dynasty. They simply ask that the affairs of the nation be freed from the changing caprice of individuals, the rapacity of a clique, and conducted by competent and honest men, independent of the corrupt and fluctuating influence of the imperial court. Despite the unbroken record of railway disasters in the United States it remains true, as proved by the experience of accident insurance companies, that the safest place in the world is a railroad train. Not less than thirty persons were killed and many more than that injured in elevator accidents in New York city in the past year. No such proportion of the persons who traveled between New York and Chicago in the same period were even injured. It is capable of proof that within almost any section of the country more persons are accidentally killed in the day's work than in railway disasters. The explanation of this old fact, of course, that those places are most dangerous where danger is least expected and those safest where danger is so looked for and so probable that the mind of every man concerned is intent on avoiding and preventing accident. Although John Bull is now a vehement apostle of arbitration, at least in closet policy, he is reorganizing the military forces of India on the basis of a $50,000,000 outlay. The troops will be concentrated at certain points to enable them to train together and cooperate in time of war. Since the great mutiny they have been quartered all over the country. Railroads and telegraphs have changed the situation, and in time of war troops can be quickly forwarded to any distant scene of disturbance. The pioneer work of the Alaskan telegraph system recently completed was begun in 1865, before the Atlantic cable was laid. The projectors aimed to connect the new and old world by the Bering strait route. Cyrus Field's great achievement in 1868 dashed this enterprise to the ground. The new system is entirely on United States territory and comprises 2,127 miles of cable, 1,504 miles of land lines and 107 miles of wireless system. The action of two Illinois convicts in appealing to the courts to see that the governor of their prison gives them plenty of hard labor, as decreed in their sentences will hardly be indorsed by the unimpaired bodies.

Harris of Topeka, the only living man who set type on the first paper published in Kansas, has been celebrating his semicentennial as a printer. For fifty years he has worked continuously at his trade and is still able to turn out a respectable "string." 6,000 Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the famous chief of the statistical bureau of Paris, has written a volume entitled "Alcoholism and the Way to Night It." Drink, he declares, is likely to prove the ruin of the French race unless something is done to overcome the habit. Camille Polletan, the French minister of marine, is noted as a typical Bohemian. He has spent a good part of his life in the Latin quarter, and even now, though compelled to live in the magnificent palace of marine, he frequently entertains his Bohemian friends. More Men, Women and Children to Read and Pay for This rather disheartening sign was displayed to the view of customers in a fish store in lower Sixth avenue, New York: "Boy Wanted to Open Oysters Sixteen Years Old." The origin of one of the churches in Belfast having replied to work, investigation revealed the presence of a large sol in the exhaust pipe. It was of course dead, and there is no explanation as to how it got there. A Parisian who has been much annoyed by dums has connected his bell handle with a powerful electric battery and switches on the current at psychological moments. No far the police have declined to interfere. A large stock of quail settled down on Main street, Los Angeles, Cal., right in the business heart of the town. They were soon frightened away and called of, toward the hills. The oldest inhabitant is trying to cudgel up a precedent for this unusual thing. Aerial dinners are now the fashion in Paris. M. Santes-Dumont recently gave one at which the tables and chairs were suspended from the ceiling by wiring, the waiters walked on stilts and the plates and dishes were raised on lifts. The guests got into their shoes by means of stapladder. TIMELY TOPIOS. An English railway expert is astonished to find that the "one idea of your railways is to 'get there.'"

The ball weevil caused a loss to the cotton growers last year of $50,000,000. The value of the birds slaughtered for military in the same period was possibly half a million. If the birds had been let alone they would have destroyed the weevil. It is a queer economy we practice sometimes. — Brooklyn Magia. LAW POINTS. If there is an express or implied notice to the purchaser that an agent has no authority to collect money, a payment will not bind the principal. (107 II. App., 82.) Where a contract recites the payment of $1 as its consideration, it is valid, al though the sum was not actually paid as it creates an obligation which can be enforced by the other party. (44 f II. Rep., 886.) AGENTS When a debtor offers a creditor certain sum in satisfaction of all mands and the creditor gives a firm acceptance of the same, there accord and satisfaction, though the creditor states in accepting it that cannot accept it in full settlement.
