THE THREE GOLDEN CALVES. The Neward Advocate. There are three golden calves which have been set up in the history of mankind. There are others, but these are the important ones. 1st—The calf at Sinai. While Moses was up in the mountains, Aaron made a golden calf by the command of the people, and all fell down and worshiped it. And it brought lots of trouble on the people. destroyer of human happiness. It is certainly strange that after so many years of material progress and development, the black man must yet prove his humanity. Oh, how strange! No sound-minded man would ask more unless it be pitchfork Tillman. Let me close with these most beautiful lines, the sentiments of Anglo-Saxons: My country, 'tis of thee, Poor land of liberty, Of thee I sing. on the work, status and progress of the Race along the lines comprehended under these bureaus, respectively. At the next meeting to be held of the Negroes of the West, and through the direction of such reports June, members of these Bureaus will others interested will read papers and discuss questions arising from the same. Many of the leading Negroes of the country have signified their intention to be present and participate. 2nd.—The Dutch made a golden calf in 1619 and the Americans fell down and worshiped it; and trouble followed. The calf's name was Slavery. 3rd.—Colorphobia, or in other words, color hate, was the third calf set up, and all America is worshipping it. The calfs name is the "Lily White." It likes no other color. Hence it crushes all of God's human creatures who happen not to be white. It welcomes anything that is white, even leprosy, but rejects anything that is black except a zamif, for it will never turn out to be anything. Christ is painted white, although no white blood coursed through his veins. The devil is painted black, although no one has ever seen him. Heaven is painted white, where even the streets are represented as being paved with gold. Adam is painted white, when he was clay color. And so, this calf had peculiar notions regarding its worshipers. Since all Christians have the same dispositions after death, I wonder how the Christians of different races will get along in heaven, or will there be more than one heaven? We are told all Christians will be with the Lord, they, therefore, must be in one place; hence they ought to fix this thing there, and come to which have been set up in the history MISS VICTORIA OVERALL. sessor of a young woman, who with of work.

To the Public: One year ago we issued a call for a meeting of those interested in any and all movements calculated to inure to the benefit of the race. This call met with such a generous response on the part of all Race lovers in the west and was productive of such good results that all felt ustified in the Republican administration are indeed to be commended for the recog-effecting a permanent organization, which was done at the last meeting, one year ago. The purpose of the Chautauqua is as declared by its motto "The Unity and Uplift of the Race." To that end, the condition of the Race was discussed in all its phases, and plans formulated for a furtherance of the work. That all attempted might not be visionar yand impractical, but permanent in all its results, bureaus were appointed to inquire into the condition KANSAS CITY MO.. FRIDAY.

At the next meeting to be held in of the Negroes of the West, and through the direction of such report June, members of these Bureaus with others interested will read papers and discuss questions arising from the same. Many of the leading Negroes of the country have signified their intention to be present and participate. The following departments will be represented this year—Educational, Ministerial, Agricultural, Business Men's, Industrial, Legal, Medical, Press, Woman's Club and Fine Arts. Systematic work is being done in these departments and reports will be made at the next meeting. The sessions this year will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th or June.) Larger and more varied programs will be had at this session. The public is requested to co-operate in this effort for the betterment of the Race. Other announcements will be made later. Yours for the advancement of the Negro. W. T. VERNON, President. J. N. GARRETT, Secretary. Smoking Match. A smoking match recently amused the public at Lille, France. Fifty of the hardest smokers of the district sat down together to consume two ounces of the strongest tobacco in the shortest possible time. They used clay pipes, and were helped by a big jug of beer. The winner finished in a quarter of an hour. WESTERN TUSKEGEE NOTES. Sunday afternoon the Baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rev. T. J. Moppings of Kansas City. Dr. J. E. Ford, of Denver, Colo., visited the Institute last Tuesday and was entertained by Principal and Mrs. Carter. He expressed much favorable surprise over the progress that has been made since his visit last year. Miss Birdie Atkinson of Hill City, and Miss Linnie Dyer of Merriam, are graduates of Domestic Science this year. They were honored by being the hostesses of the Commencement luncheon of that Department. Rev. Charles F. Meserve, a distinguished educator of colored people will visit the Institute in the near future. A Mock Faculty meeting was held at the Institute Saturday evening. The impersonating of the various teachers by the students was well done and proved quite humorous as well as instructive. The Miniature Farming Contest of the Agricultural classes resulted in, first prize, Mr. Eugene Blair, of Holiday and Mildred Cason, of Kansas City; second prize, Georgia McLoriana, Ottawa, and Mabel Hall, Colorado Springs; 96% being the highest combined average made. Plans are being drawn for the remodeling of a Silo into a chapel and boys' dormitory; also for enlarging the dining room and girls building. Friends from the city are cordially invited to attend the Commenctment exercises next week, Monday and Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon.

A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE Few Preliminaries to What Turned Out a Happy Match. An English book of reminiscences tells of two country squires named Leaman of Ivrybridge—"two thin, delcate-looking old men, twin brothers, 72 years old, with white hair, very gentle and courteous in manner, red cutaway coats, white cords, black boots, caps ang gloves." When past 60 years of age one night after hunting one of them said to the other: "I have been thinking neither of us can have much longer to live in this world and it will be a terrible thing for the survivor to have to remain here alone. Don't you think one of us ought to marry?" "Yes," was the reply. "I have thought so for a long time." "Well, do you know of any lady?" "Yes, I do. Is there any one you fancy?" On comparing notes it appeared they had both selected the same woman, the manager of a hotel at Okehampton. "Well," said one, "we have lived together all these years without a wry word and is a pity we should fall out at our time of life." So they tossed up which should marry her. The winner rode down to Okehampton next morning and was accepted. All three lived together and the wife nursed both brothers in their last illness and was left their money. The trolley party given under the auspices of the Oxford Club last Friday evening to Leavenworth, was a delightful treat and a good time was enjoyed by all and it closed the season for the club at this time. Those present on the trip were: Mr. John Russel and wife. Capt. Leon H. Jordan and wife. Mrs. Dr. Perry. Mr. James Carpenter and wife. Mr. Henry Austin and wife. Prof. William Griffin and wife. Mr. J. W. Moss and wife. Miss Beulah Conroy. Miss Nellie Love. Miss Madline Harris. Miss Frankie Kennedy. Miss Minnie Hubbard. Miss Ella Walker. Mis Lillian Mercer. Mr. Marshall Lewis. Mr. Alonzo Montgomery. Mr. Wm. H. Watson. Mr. Joseph Todd. Mr. I. W. Page. Mr. Curtiss Wilson. Mr. Charles Bell. Mr. A. L. Cox. Mr. W. A. Scott. Officers present: Curtiss Wilson, President. Capt. Leon H. Jordan, Treasurer. A. L. Cox, Secretary. Alonzo Mongegomery, Sergeant-at-Arms. Wm. H. Watson, Floor Director. Parents should pay more attention to their children. They should visit the schools oftener and become better acquainted with those who instruct their children. They should know more about what is expected of their children. A few visits to the schools will open their eyes as to some of the hardships the teachers have to endure and give them an insight into the shortcomings of their own children. So few persons visit the colored schools of this city that when one does drop in the children are frightened out of their wits and sit speechless. Education should give a person self-possession and the power to express himself clearly. One who all but faints at the sound of his own voice is to be pitted. Yes, parents, look after your chil dren more. PROTECT YOURSELF With a view to insuring intending visitors to Saint Louis during the World's Fair period satisfactory accommodations the Merchants' Service Company has been organized, being at present the authorized agent of the owners or lessees of a large number of hotels, apartment houses and private residences in the city, and is fully equipped to rent furnished rooms for lodging purposes.

Mr. Ruben Holmes is in the blacksmith business in Mr. Smith's old stand. Every body should patronize him. Mr. Smith is the oldest blacksmith in this country and Mr. Holmes is the youngest so you ought to patronize him. Mrs. Mary Webb and Mrs. Lizzie Williams, also Mrs. Lau Colley left Tuseday morning to attend the Grand Court at Sedalia. Mrs. Harriet Lindsay has been quite ill but is now some better. Mr. Henry Colley of Independence was here Sunday visiting his parents. Mr. Al Williams left for Boone, Ia., Monday, to spend a few days with his sister and nephew. Mr. Oleather Saunders was called to Kansas City to attend the funeral of Mr. _____ Sunday. Mr. Kirk Johnson was in Kansas City Saturday on business. The Grand Army was in session here last week. There were several colored ladies with them. Miss Bradberry of St. Louis, also Mrs. Craftord and several other ladies. We were not able to learn their names. They said they were well treated except being object of visiting some of their meetings by one of our bankers. They cannot help being colored. Their fathers and husbands lost their lives for this country, but the ladies highly appreciated the action taken by the mayor in their interest. Mr. Turner of St. Joseph is here selling some property to Mr. John Jackson. Mr. Clab Lightle, the W. M. of Dixon on lodge is sick; also his brother, Mr. Crist Lightle. We hope they will improve. Mr. Wm. Hayden, who has been on the sick list is able to be out again. MATTHAEIS BAKERY. For the past twenty years Mr. Matthaeis has been engaged in the bakery business in this city. He has long since proven to us that he is a master of his trade. He has been one of Kansas City's promoters in business enterprise. His study has been along his own line, how to please the stomach and to make man healthy. True that man can not live by bread alone. We will ask you to try some of his bread that we will mention, for instance his Salt Rising Bread and his First Quaker Made. Ask your grocer for them and satisfy yourself that you get your money's worth. Mr. Matthaeis is worthy of the colored patronage in this city. He is liberal and at all times is a pleasant man to meet. Do honor unto him to whom honor is due. Remember his brands, Salt Rising and Quaker Maid Bread. MATTHAEIS BAKERY 901-3-5-7-11-13 West 17th Street. Postman Steals Stamps. A London postman stole stamps from the letters he collected from boxes. Finally stamps marked with invisible, sensitive ink were posted for his benefit. He was caught with some of them upon him, and they were "developed" in his presence. I i i ag a PROOF AGAINST PANIC SENATOR GALLINGER SOUNDS KEY NOTE OF CAMPAIGN. Events Have Shown That In Time of Financial Disturbance and Spec: ulative Demoralization Protection Operates as a Preventive of Panic, ahd: Paralyeis, | this impressive title Senator Gallin- ker of New Hampshire has contrib: luted @ speech which promises to be+ come as useful in the campaign of 1804 as was his great speech, “Pro- tection is the Issue,” in the campaign of 1802. Prosperity 1s once more the issue which overshadows all others It is even more true today than it was two years ago. In the well chos- en language of the New York state Republican platform: “The greatest national Issue ts the maintenance of prosperity.” Prosperity we now have and have had in marvelous measure beginning with 1887, when the Republican party regained control of national affairs and reinstated the national policy of protection to Ameriean labor and in: dustry. How shall we maintain pros perity? ‘That is the leading question to be considered in the great civic struxgle of 1904, Senator Gallinger’s specch deals with this question, It has for its text the following senate resolution offered on April 22, 1904: “Resolved, That our continued pros: perity as a nation is the best possible assurance that our fiseal polley {s sound and stable, and that its dis- turbance by legislation Is not war: ranted by the best interests of the people.” Speaking to this resolution, Sena tor Gallinger drew attention to the fact that, as proclaimed by one of the house leaders of that organiza tion, the Democratic. party will go forth to the eontliet of this year with ‘Tariff Reduction and Genuine Reeip: rocity Inseribed on its banners. There is the Issue, It fs plain and unequiv- cecal. There is no mistaking the Dem oeratic purpose, ‘The tarift law. of 1887, productive thonsh it has been of the most extraordinary results ever known in the history of the World: prodnetive of the highost de kree of prosperity and the greatest sum of human happiness ever known fn connection with fiseal legislation productive of abundance of work at an averaxe wage rate three times that of continental Europe; pratue tive of trade, of commerce, of indus. try far exeoeding in volume the trade, commerce and industry of any other nation on earth; productive of a vast {nerease in the total and in the per capital wealth of our country, as shown by the mighty Increase alike in the bank deposits of the rich and in the savinis deposits of the wage carn: ers this tari law of 1807, with all its splendid results, Is to be attacked and repeated ant tinkered and buteh ered by the double process of dircet reduction. and wide-open reciprocity in competitive. products, ‘That is the Democratic program for 1904. What Is to take the place of the Dingles law in the event of Dem: cratic suceess in this year's prest- dential election? Who can tell? It may be, as Senator Gallinger says, “A Wilson bill, or a Mills bill, or a Morrison bill, or a tariff like that of INH and of 1857, both of which tariffs proved disastrous to the best inter ests of the country.” Vigorously and ably Senator Gallinger challenges this destructive propaganda. With an tm. pressive array of facts and figures te support his contention, he avers that the country should stick to the grand ‘old ship protection and not lower her colors to free-trade pirates. ‘The speech bristles with strong argument and fact, It deals fairly and effect ively with the trust question, showing conclusively that trusts owe neither their origin nor their continued ex istence to a protective tariff. ‘This showing is made the moro ef fective by the plain business facts o! the past year. It has been a bad year for the overinflated trusts, Some of them have gone down, while oth ers have had a hard time to weather the storm of their own ereation Shocks and strains have occurred which would surely have wrecked prosperity but for the presence of 1 protective tariff as a safeguard. What With trust stocks tumbling in values by the billion, and other stocks shar ing in the general depression, while Ereat labor strikes were keeping some hundreds of thousands of men in vol untary idleness, the conditions were favorable for a general panic of the Worst deseription. But there was n general panic. ‘The business of the country Went on as usual, and thers was no damage and no disaster out side the ranks of those who ha Drought on and participated in th great speculative debauch, Sueh pan je as there was was a rich man’ panic. ‘The poor man eseaped.

Production di hot stop; employment did not cease Protection took care of that, The country continued to do its own work It did not, as in 18921897, turn ove ita great market to foreigners be Giving a Dollar for a Dime. The pith of the whole freetrad Dusiness is the assumption that if we throw down tne bars in this country and let all sorts of forelgn goods in free to compete with American indus try and American labor, other coun tries will make similar iaws and per. mit our goods to enter free. Of course this Is @ preposterous assumption, but it is not difficult to eceount for when we recali that it wag fastened upon the Demoeratic party by the South at a time when the South imagined it could do anything but grow cotton which it supposed ft would have to /send out of that region to be manu- factured, This section of course was considering not the interests of the whole country, but merely Its own in- terests. Then, too, it was jealous of the Northern industries, and preferred to patronize the foreigner. Once this was fastened upon the party, this party was true to the tradition, as Mr. Cleveland says ft ought to be, and consequently fell a good many years behind the times in this as in other things. Hence the party became com- mitted to this dogma, or a tariff for ‘revenue, which is the nearest ap- ‘broach to free trade that any clvilized country has-ever had. Of course, the schoolboy knows that others nations “will not make such a law because we do it, but assume that they would. Al- ready we have at home the greatest market in the world, and this would mean to throw all of it away for the silly delusion of thus capturing in- ferior markets. In the first place we don’t get the markets in this way, and even if we should get these mar- kets, we should be giving away a gold dollar for a dime in the transae- tion.—Marion (Ind.)

Sttantatina bMistasu, Congressman Warner said to the members of the Hamilton club last Saturday: “The first purpose of Lin. coln and those who elected him was to abolish African slave pauper labor.” That was a misstatement calculated to mislead members of the club who are not familiar with the political his- tory of 1860. Col, Warner, who was not old enough to vote in that year, but who was old enough and patriotic enougk to volunteer in 1861 and to fight through the war, may have en- listed to root out slavery as well as to save the union, but the abolition of slave labor was not the avowed pur- pose of the Republican party in 1860. If it had been Mr. Lincoln would not have been eleeted. Nor did any con: siderable number of those who voted for him have in mind the freeing of the slaves as the result of his election, The great purpose of the Republican party was to prevent the extension of slavery to the territories, It sald in its platform that their normal condi. tion was that of freedom, and it de nied the authority of congress or of a territorial legislature to give legal ex: istence to slavery in any. territory, The fourth plank of the platform de- elared— “That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the states, and especially the right of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own Judgment exclu sively, is essential to that balance of powers on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabrie de- pends.” The “domestic Institutions” inelud- ed African slavery, ‘The slaveholders would not accept the pledges of non-interference with slavery in the states made by Repub: Heans in and out of congress, They seceded, and the Republican party ‘nally did what in 1860 it did not dream of doing.—Chicago Tribune.

No form of the 1830 shoulder is more graceful than this one and none gives better lines. The waist also is admirable in every way and suits all the fabrics of the season. The shallow yoke, the plaits below and the full, drooping sleeves all are features and most admirable ones, while the extensions, in the form of box plaits, over the shoulders make quite the latest of the season. The model is made of champagne colored collenne embroided in ring dots and is combined with finely tucked muslin and lace, the use of this last with wool fabrics being essentially smart, but innumerable combinations might be suggested. The waist is made over a smoothly fitted lining that closes at the center front and itself consists of fronts, back and yoke, the closing being 100 made invisible beneath the first plait at the left of the front and at the left shoulder seam. The sleeves are cut in one piece each and are arranged over the foundations that are faced to form the cuffs, the extension at the left shoulder being hooked into place after the waist is closed. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $4\frac{1}{4}$ yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide, with 1 yard of tucking, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards of applique and 2 yards of lace for frills. Something New. Many of the French blouses are made with an elastic, one-half inch in width run in at the waist line. This brings the blouse into the figure, and still leaves it loose and springy enough for comfort. It does away with belts and pins, which are both unsightly and bothersome to adjust. Ruchings and Shirrings on Parasols. All sorts of trimmings are being used on parasols, such as ruchings, lace, appliques, shirrings, smockings, tucks, plaitings—sunburst and accordion varieties—and insertions of embroidered bands, to say nothing of other designs. The Kitchen Rub all rusty places on iron with kerosene oil. In purchasing tinned goods always look whether the head of the tin is coacave, a bulging appearance being indicative of decomposition. A few drops of alcohol rubbed on the inside of lamp chimneys will remove all trace of greasy smoke when water alone is of no avail. The lid of a teapot should always be left so that air gets in. Slip in a piece of paper to keep it open. This prevents mustiness. The same rule applies to a coffee pot. To prevent a cake from becoming heavy when taken out of the oven always allow the steam to escape from it. This can be done by putting the cake on a wire meat stand. An easy method of cleaning elastic stockings or anklets is to rub them well with a clean cloth dipped in warm flour. Keep on applying clean flour till the articles are quite clean. Aromatic Baths. As a nerve soother there is nothing equal to an aromatic bath. Take 30 grams of pure alcohol and 2 grams each of essence of thyme and essence of romarin. Pour into the warm bath water and mix thoroughly. After the bath dry the skin thoroughly, but not too briskly, so that the sedative effects of the bath may be retained. Retire to bed as soon after the bath as possible, and you will sleep. This Season's Muslims. The organdies and muslins for this season show in the diaphanous folds patterns of large flowers, or flowers massed into large bouquets. Moss roses, azaleas, pink roses, bunches of purple lilac and exquisite designs of all the popular blossoms promise that the summer girl of 1904 will carry out the large flowered effect in her gowns. Ribbon Cake. Two cups sugar, 3 eggs, two-thirds cup of butter, 1 cup milk, 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoonful soda, 2 teaspoon- A SMART LITTLE COAT.

Have three pans of equal size and divide the dough into three parts. Bake two parts as plain cake; add to the remaining dough 2 teaspoons molasses, half teaspoonful cinnamon and half teaspoonful mace. Put the dark layer between the two light layers while warm with jelly between and press it lightly with the hand in putting together. Pendent embroidery trimming is a novelty—just long narrow strips of fine embroidery dropping like a fringe from the hand of insertion. Where the bodice blouses over the girdle in the back there is a fancy for underlining with a little lace frill, making it look like a lace-edged boiler. With the linen shortwaist patterns there come embroidered bands for the collar, cuffs and front piece, and four big embroidered buttons to match. About the best material for an all-around traveling gown is mohair, which comes now as sedately plain or as frivolously fancy as anyone could desire. It is predicted that the old-fashioned three-cornered lace and embroidered shawls of the grandmothers' time will be revived for summer carriages and evening wraps. Handkerchiefs Now In Colors Handkerchiefs Now in Colors. Colors will be more of a feature in women's handkerchiefs than they have been in many seasons. A certain number of colored novelties are sold each year to accompany the colored summer frocks, but owing to the reign of white in general fashions the number of these has greatly decreased during the two past summers. Now that the white corner is broken, colored handkerchiefs are rapidly returning to favor—for the summer, at least. So far the color portion consists of patterns formed by embroidered dots—the "jewel" effect of the embroiderer. Oil stains should be washed out in cold water. To remove ink or iron mold stains wet them with milk and cover with salt. Powdered pipeclay, mixed with water, will remove oil stains from wallpaper. To keep silver which is not often used from growing black keep the articles in canton flannel bags with small bags filled with bits of gum camphor packed among them. Rubber rings which are used on fruit cans often become hard and brittle. To soften them let them soak A SMART Fancy Etons of all sort make the favorites of the season and are most charming, either made to match the skirts or of the pretty, soft silks that are so much in vogue. This one is suited to either use but is shown in champagne colored velling, with a pillow of heavy lace and collar of silk overlaid with lace motifs, and matches the skirt. The combination ten to thirty minutes in one part am monia and two parts of water. Leather belts or boots which have been water soaked may be softened by rubbing plentifully with coal oil. If the leather is very much soiled wash it first with good hot soap suds. Misses' Collarless Jacket. The collarless jacket marks the season for young girls as well as for grown folk and no better model is shown than this one-with seams that extend to the shoulders at front and back. The stylish one which served as a model for the drawing is made of tan colored cloth with bandings of fancy braid and handsome pearl buttons overlaid with gold, but all the materials used for jackets suit the model equally well. The mandolin sleeves are new and fashionable but 1 plain ones can be substituted and are always in vogue. The jacket consists of fronts and side-fronts, back and side-backs, with double under-arm gores that allow of careful and successful fitting. The mandolin sleeves are made in one piece, but the plain ones consist of upper and unders in regulation coat style. The quantity of material required for the medium size (14 years) is $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 27 inches wide, 2 yards 44 inches wide or $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards 52 inches wide. How to Dust a Room. How to Dust a Room. Soft cloth makes the best dusters. In dusting any piece of furniture, begin at the top and dust down, wiping carefully with the cloth, which can be frequently shaken. Many people have no idea of what dusting is to accomplish, and instead of wiping off and removing the dust, it is simply flirted off into the air, and soon settles back again on the dusted article. If carefully taken up on a cloth, it can be shaken out of a window into the open air. It is much less work to cover up furniture while sweeping than to be obliged to clean the dust out afterward. The blessing of plainness in decoration is appreciated by the thorough housekeeper who attends to her own dusting. RT LITTLE COAT. is eminently attractive one and the style of the garment is peculiarly chic and smart. The coat extensions at the back give a most desirable slender effect to the figure while the soft folds provided by the tucks below their stitchings are exceedingly graceful and becoming. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $4\%$ yards 21 or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 14 inches wide. THE FIRST WOMAN'S CLUB. Old Church Where it was Formed is Still Standing. Near the town of Baldwinsville, N. Y., on the old homestead of Elizabeth Farrington, stands the ruins of a little old Puritan church which for years now has been the home of pigs. Yet associated with the spot and the few decayed boards remaining are recollections that will ever live even in the memory of feminine clubdom. It was in this little house that, in the early part of last century, a society was formed by some charitable and socially inclined young women which proved to be the nucleus of the oldest woman's club in America. It will delight the hearts of the members of Sorosis and of feminine clubdom of the country over to know that this mother of all women's clubs 12 The Old Presbyterian Church, still exists and is in a most flourishing condition. No woman's club in the United States can boast of such an aged ancestry, and surely it should be awarded the first place upon the roll of honor of all federations of women. Lysander, N. Y., is its present home, and it is needless to add that it plays a most important role in the social life of the vicinity in which it is located. TEACHER OF ORIENTAL LORE. Levantine Has Set Up Studio in New York. Caleb is a high caste Oriental called a Levantine. He has recently opened a studio in Twenty-first street to teach barbaric Americans about Damascene antiques and the lore of incense and Oriental things generally. "It is no small thing," said the disciple of Damascus, "but I've touched the heart with my incense fiddle, and the rest will be easy. The incense fiddle is a heart-shaped instrument played in the lap or on the shoulder. The foundation is a sweet-smelling wood inlaid with mother of pearl and gems. When it is laid flat the little fish-skin surface makes a bowl and receives a thin brass plaque. Incense is burned in the plaque, and as the fumes rise to the nostrils of the player the spirit moves him, he draws his arrow-shaped bow and improvises the queer melodies of the Orient. We have incense lamps, tabourettes, rugs, and even vases, but the fiddle seems to be the object around which the American fancy lingers."—New York Times. MARVELS IN HUMAN VOICE. Singers Who Do Wonders With Their Vocal Chords. The London Mirror has an article on high and low notes of the human voice, and of the singers who sing them. Starting with a woman's voice, we find that the average top note is the G, an octave and a fifth above the middle C (1)—the number refers to the note on the scale. The professional soprano generally takes the C above, known as "C in alt." Mme. Patti sings an F above (2). Ellen Beach Yaw goes one better than Patti and takes the G above the F (3). The last record-holder was Miss Edith Helena, who could sing the next note, A (4). But now there is a marvel—Mile. Amelia de Lagreze can sing C, three octaves above the middle C (5). This (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Marvels in Sound. young lady's vocal chords, when she sings her top C, vibrate 2,048 times a second. Whelks as Money. Dewarra, a currency of New Britain, is an instance of how the spoils of the chase may be turned to account as the outward and visible sign of wealth. Dewarra is made by stringing the shells of a dog-whelk upon the ribs of palm leaves. These strings may be retained at so much a fathom—usually the price is equivalent to about three shillings a fathom length—or they may be made into various articles of personal adornment to be worn on great occasions. In New Britain the dewarra hoarded up by a rich man is produced at his funeral and divided amongst his heirs in much the same kind of way as personal property is divided amonsst us. Report Seeing White Robin. A white robin was discovered in North Brookfield, Mass., the other day. The bird was in a flock of ordinary plumed robins, and created so much of a sensation that a freight engine was stopped to allow the trainmen to see it. NOBLEMAN LIVES IN CAVE. Wealthy Man Carries Love of Soll tude to Excess. One of the most remarkable noblemen in all Europe is probably Count Russell, whose love of solitude is carried to such an extent that he lives in a series of caves placed high upon the snowy Vignemale in the Pyrenees. The Count has a house in Pau and is a man of wealth—a Frenchman of Irish extraction. He does not, however, care for social functions, and so he conceived the original notion of renting from the French government the whole of the Vignemale mountain from 8,000 feet to its summit, 11,000 feet. For this he pays the nominal rent of one franc (20 cents) a year. While the caves were already in existence, the Count has considerably "assisted" them by means of pickaxes and dynamite carried up on mules. The Count frequently sleeps in deep snowdrifts, wrapped in his reindeer sleeping bag, and from his nest among the eagles both France and Spain lie at his feet on either hand. The caves are quite comfortably furnished, but have carpets of straw, and the Count frequently lends them to friends who come to visit him in Pau. Literal Literature. (Extract from a popular novel): lorabel was a vision of feminine loveliness. Her swan-like neck sup ported a fair face crowned with a wealth of golden hair which glowed 8 like radiant autumn leaves. Her shell like cars, eyes like twin stars, and coral mouth made the fair maid indeed a dream of beauty." The Siberian Tarantass Traveling in Siberia, apart from the railway, now given up entirely to military transports, is mainly done in a vehicle called a tarantass. This has been called the "Siberian hansom," but it is a very different vehicle to the hansom we know by that name. The tarantass is a roomy carriage, covered by a hood. It has no springs, but is balanced on long poles, which, in some measure, break the jolting. There are no seats for the passenger, who has to make himself as comfortable as he can on a kind of mattress spread on the floor of the vehicle. Sturdy ponies peculiar to northern Russia are the animals employed, usually in pairs, to draw the tarantass. They live roughly and can go immense distances over all sorts of ground without fatigue. Red Rose Paid for Rent. Probably one of the longest lenses known was granted for a small piece of meadow land, some sixteen acres in extent, in Surrey. It is for the term of 2,900 years, and was granted on St. Michael's Day, in 1651, at the singular rental of "a red rose when demanded." It is not stipulated that the rose shall be the product of this land, which is fortunate, for no such rose grows anywhere on the sixteen acres. Strange Racer. This is the type of automobile in which records were smashed on the sandy beaches of Florida. A Literary Curiosity. Here is a literary curiosity—"Sator arepo tenet oper rotas." It is curious because it spells the same words backward as forward; the first letter of each word placed consecutively spells the first word; the second letter of each spells the second word, and so on. The last letters read backward spell the last word; the next to the last letters the next to the last word, and so on throughout. There are also as many letters in each word as there are words in the sentence—New York Herald. Precocious Youngster.

HOMAGE PAID TO ENGINES A Remarkable Festival Observed by the Brahmans of India. Of all the many wonderful sights in that wonderful land of India, none is perhaps more striking to the European than the festival of Sri Pancham, Pancham is the god who looks after the implements of those who have to work for their living, and one day early in the year is set apart to pay homage to those implements. The night before the festival the mechanic polishes up his implements. If he is Hindo Merchanics at Worship. wont to look after a gas engine, he gives it a thorough overhaul, or if he be a carpenter, or a weaver, or a blacksmith, he makes his tools bright and lays them out for the coming morn. On the day of the festival the implements are festooned with flowers or other decorations, and during the day the religious-minded Hindu offers dalties to his tools, particularly sweetmeats. While he offers the sweets he mutters prayers, invoking success to his future labor. QUEER RITES OF SAVAGES Tribes of Central Australia Who Torture Themselves. There are two fire ceremonies peculiar to the Arunta and Warrampunga tribes of Central Australia. The first of these is the final initiation ceremony, and consists in the presentation of a large number of dramatic performances representing the doings of the ancestors of the tribe, finishing with certain fire ceremonies, in connection with some of which the women, throwing burning embers over the men, and in others the men have to lie down on red hot embers, covered over with green branches. The meaning of this ceremony is not known, but the natives state that it makes the men who pass through it what they call "good black fellows." In the second ceremony certain men shut up in a bush hut, and others arm themselves with long poles, to which are attached great quantities of gum tree twigs. The men daub themselves all over with pipeclay and mud, and the poles, which are handed to the party inside the hut, being set fire to, are lifted into the air and brought down upon all and sundry with whom the party came in contact. The natives say the object of this ceremony is to finally settle up all old quarrels, and start afresh. VICTORY NOT WITH HIM. After Fight With Wife, Husband Was Satisfied With Draw. Among the many court legends related by ex-Judge Schatz, of Mount Vernon, is one of an Irishman called to the bar on a charge of wife beating. The accused, a lightweight, whose manner reflected more of meekness than ferocity, sat quietly nursing a few facial scars as his wife, a burly specimen of her race, excitedly told the story of her grievances. When this, and the corroborative testimony of other witnesses had been more of meekness than ferocity, sat quietly nursing a few facial scars as his wife, a burly specimen of her race, excitedly told the story of her grievances. When this, and the corroborative testimony of other witnesses had been heard, the Judge turned to the prisoner and sternly exclaimed: "Stand up there, Holahan, and let the court hear what defense, if any, you have to make to this charge of brutality." The prisoner staggered to his feet, and as the blood trickled from his wounds, as if to emphasize the plaintive tones of his remonstrance, he replied: "Begin' yer pardon, yer Honor, but Oi don't tink Oi bate her." "What!" indignantly shouted the Judge; "don't think you beat her? After all the damning testimony we have heard have you the audacity to expect the court to believe your unsupported assertion that you didn't beat her? "Axin' yer mercy, Joodge, for me howldniss," deferentially replied Holahan, "but all the same Oi do be tinkin' that ef yer Honor had been rirecene' the schrap yersil ye'd acalled it a draw."—New York Times. Recovered His Rings. Two rings stolen from a house in Massachusetts thirty-three years ago have just come into the possession of George L. De Blois, of Boston, son of the original owner. They are mourning rings, family heirlooms, and were stolen by a discharged servant. They were recently purchased by an honest man, who, finding that they were marked with names not accounted for in the personality of the vendor, turned them over to the police, with the idea that they might have been stolen. The newspapers published descriptions of the rings, and Mr. De Blois came into his own from seeing the stories. When Meat Was Cheap.

We hear much talk these days about beautifying and improving the city along all lines. This is the right spirit. Nothing tends to improve the community more than good streets, clean streets, shade trees, parks and play grounds for the children, pleasure resorts for all people. It adds to the life of a community; it invites the man of money to invest. But the manager of Forest Park says this park is not for negroes, but for white people. Why does a man become so mean as to bar any good citizen from public rights? We will admit there are bad Negroes, but on the other hand, there are bad white men, yes, ten times worse, in a measure, than the negro. The venerable old Bishop Turner has opened his mouth again and again has allowed his better judgment to be carried away by his prejudice. History contains nothing definite as to the original color of man from Adam, or even Noah, down. The bishop shows, in this recent statement, as much lack of balance, as he does in his solution of the negro problem, for he would send millions of ignorant people back to the jungles of Africa to learn the progressive methods of the world. Nay, good-bishop, nay. The Negroes who attended the M. E. Conference in California, went there expecting to find a heaven on earth. The Pacific Coast is not the only place upon the face of the earth where the negro has looked for such an abiding place and failed to find it. He has searched, too, every corner of the globe for a law strong enough to protect him in those rights defined by the congress of the United States and endorsed by Thomas Jefferson, and has found it not. What is wrong? Capt. Chas, Young of the 9th Cavalry, U. S.

Chas, Young and wife, Prof. Starr, Rev. J. S. Johnson, Quindaro; Prof. Garrett, Abner Jones, Mr. Arthur Brown and wife, Kansas City, Kan., Dr. P. B. McCray, Dr. G. E. Horsey, Dr. T. C. Chapman. Captain Chas. Young, U. S. A., wished to be remembered to all his friends and acquaintances.

Stronghold of Dick Turnip. There is an old house at Buckhurst Hill, England, reputed to have once belonged to Dick Turpin, the notorious highwayman. It stands on the top of the hill, is one story high, and has windows on all sides. The reason given for its peculiar construction is that Dick Turpin could thus survey the flat country for miles around, and get timely warning of the approach of unwelcome visitors. More Useful Study In an English school recently a certain boy was regularly absent during the hour in which Latin was taught. The teacher called upon the boy's father, at whose instructions it had been learned he remained away, and asked for an explanation. The father said: "It is all right. During the Latin hour I am teaching Jimmy something that he will find far more useful than Latin in his progress through life." The teacher was interested, and asked what this subject might be. The father replied: "I am teaching my son how to shave without a looking glass." No Wonder He Was Stout.

Bohemian Peasant Girl May Be Called Its Originator. The polka, which had such a rage in early Victorian days, is a dance of Bohemian origin. A peasant girl, servant to a citizen of Elbekosteletz, was one Sunday amusing herself by dancing, at the same time accompanying her movements with an air of her own fancy. Joseph Neruda, the schoolmaster and organist, was a spectator of her dance and, as it pleased him, he composed suitable music for it. The dance was performed for the first time in public at Elbekosteletz, and then at Prague, where it obtained the name of polka, and soon it made its way into public favor in Paris and finally was the dance of the period in London, New York and in every big town on both sides of the Atlantic.

The watchman who goes the rounds at night beats two pieces of wood together. The bells have no clappers, but are struck with the hand on the outside. A melancholy, plover-like note on a reed pipe, which regularly sounds in the streets every morning, is the call of the blind. These have the monopoly of a lucrative profession, being shampoosers and masseurs. Massage has been practiced in Japan for centuries and brought to the highest state of efficiency possible. Its blind professors possess some knack of hand or personal magnetism which has subdued the most inveterate cases of rheumatism and has even conquered paralysis. NEGROES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

Ballo SIRNA rib tas se A recently published book on India tells of a native detective whose meth- ods were anything but scrupulous. One important matter investigated was a robbery of about half a lakh of rupees’ worth of silver ingots (about $25,000) that was sent down on cam- els with an escort of fifteen armed men from Indore to Kotah. The es- cort was killed by Dacoits and the sil- ver taken. Isri Pershad, the oriental Sherlock Holmes, rasseldar major of g native regiment, made it his bust- fiess to bring these men to justice and when asked in after years how heob- tained his proofs remarked, smilingly stroking his heard, that if a man was judiciously strung up, spread-eagle- wise, by his thumbs, much useful In- formation might be extracted and having no marks of ill-treatment to show to the sahibs he generally held his tongue. Of a certain witness in this case he wrote that he had “given ‘awfully good evidence’ at the trial, but as there was ‘Just a little discrep: ancy’ between this and his previous depositions before the political agent, when the original files were called for by the higher court, ‘it would be bet- ter to omit this one and say it had been eaten by white ants.’” CAME TO EARTH SUDDENLY. How Quick-Witted Professor Covered Up His Absent-Mindedness. One day a certain professor of mathematics at O. University prepar- ed to set out on a short journey on horseback. He was an absent-minded person, and while saddling the animal was thinking out some intricate prob- lem, Some students stood near and watched him abstractedly place the saddle on hind part before. “Oh, Professor.” exclaimed one of the group, “you are putting the wrong end of your saddle foremost.” “Young man,” replied the professor with some tartness, “you are entirely too smart, How do you know it is wrong, when I have not yet told you in which direction I intend to go?"— Lippincott's, Valuable Saucer. Only a saucer remains of the porce- lain set presented in 178% to Martha Washington. ‘This is carefully pre- setved in the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, In the center appears the monogram of “M.

A voice—whose gentle tones, In speech most requisite. Mine ear doth greet, as sound Of music exquisite. A mind—with whom mine own Holds full communion. And finds in this deep joy Its bond of union. A soul—in whose rich depths Of love and truth finite, I can see it a glance Behold the Infinite! -Martin Burke in New York Herald. She weared for him all the winter, watched and waited, too. But if he ever chanced to go by, the happy chance of seeing him was not hers. During the previous spring and summer, and even late into the autumn, it had been different—once or twice in every blessed week he had come to gladden the days, to set them in jeweled frames in her memory's gallery. Or if he had not, strictly speaking, come to her, she had yet seen him; happened to see him; been permitted by kind fate to speak with him. So, for his part, he set the drear winter months between them and he self—it was his sacrifice. Yet strewed his flowers, although he rized even in the act that it would ter have become him to leave stones standing bare. "Look out me," he said, "when the almond in blossom." He was not able to decide what future held for him, or, if he declared one thing one hour, he swept it a in favor of its opposition the next; the moment he saw them again. Not that he failed entirely to seek her out. There was denying the handiness of the small riverside house, where she lived with her widowed mother, as a place to "drop into" for tea or a restful "chat." The first time he had entered that gate, a humorously dripping object of compassion out of an overturned sailing boat, the almond tree against it was pink with blossom, and he always afterward associated her with the fragile pink flowers, weaving many a dainty compliment for her out of the sweet resemblance which a poetic fancy helped him to keep vividly before him—at least, when she was bodily before him also. By the time the almond tree was thick with leaf, he had grown in intimacy at the little riverside house to the privileged point of inviting her into his boat whenever, as sometimes happened, he was bound to no special destination. She was so young, such a child, such an embodiment of April tears and sunshine and all the intangible, mocking gaiy of spring, to set against his almost world wide experience and his ripening years. So her influence on him was as ephemeral as the flower of the almond tree, delicately sweet while it lasted, but to be overpowered by the next succeeding interest, just as the almond blossoms are overpowered and scattered by every wind that blows. A delight of a day, too unsubstantial to weather the night. But, if all her charm was insufficient to help her, it served, working mysteriously against itself, to help him and also to help one near to her. Through her very immaturity of mind, her youthful perfection of body, in some strange way he seemed, after a time, to reach appreciation of the woman who had brought her into the world—a woman who, in spite of her undoubted conversational powers, guarded her personality with a jealous armament of silence and reserve; who seemed to shrink from any friendship which gave a hint of curiosity, or even of interest pressed ever so slightly home. Yet, for all her care, put her successfully off her guard, there would leap at rare moments into her cultured manner, a manner that he knew, the light-hearted galley her daughter had inherited, completed, made satisfying, made real, by all that life had taught her. He grew to longing for those depths eagerly, passionately, that he might gain rest in them, summed there by her lighter manner, sustained by her truth and steadfastness. One whom he looked on as a child had led him, with a child's sureness of touch within sight of the world's Greatest Good. He knew now what his life had always lacked; he faced his remedy. He was in love at M. An embodiment of April tears and sunshine. last and for the first time--but not with the child. Yet he must have been blind indeed if the long summer had not served to let him into the child's pitiful secret; had not taught him how the mother's love set the welfare of her child before her as a shrine decked for perpetual sacrifice. ```markdown ``` BR. L. PARRY: TRUSTET So, for his part, he set the dreary winter months between them and himself—it was his sacrifice. Yet he strewed his flowers, although he realized even in the act that it would better have become him to leave the stones standing bare. "Look out for me," he said, "when the almond is in blossom." He was not able to decide what the future held for him, or, if he decided one thing one hour, he swept it away in favor of its opposition the next; but the moment he saw them again he knew his fate—read it in the girl's quick gladness of welcome, in the mother's glance of alarm, just touching him but settling on her. The girl's beauty was not quite so radiant; waiting and watching had dimmed it a little, although the havoc was no more than a few days' happiness would mend. The mother looked ill and worm, but no less beautiful to him for that. He had come not only because the almond tree was in blossom and he had promised, but also because he had reached that point when he could no longer keep away. "I love you" he said, and, since her Miguel "I love you," he said. eyes hurt him, added quickly, "I must tell you, although I know what you will have to say to me." "Not all, perhaps," she said. "You cannot know how I love you until I tell you, but it must be only this once." "She is so young," he pleaded, presently; "she will so soon forget." "She is too like me," she said, "and I never forget. "I married thoughtlessly," she went on, "without real love. This is my punishment and I must bear it." He nerved himself to a supreme effort, trying to catch her spirit of sacrifice while it brushed round him. "Would it help you if I took her," he said, "as a gift from you, and tried to make her happy, doing the best I could?" For a moment she stood stunned, her eyes kindled with the admiration that was his reward. "No," she said at last; "she would find out enough to spoil the happiness. But how good of you!" "You would give up all for her?" he questioned. "That is what this means," she said, "and isn't it her turn? The right of youth?" "So I must give up hope of you—to please you?" he asked. "Yes," she said, "and my love for you has taught me so much about you that I know that you can do it." "Oh, it is hard," he cried. But in answer, she only turned hopeless eyes to him and robbed him in silence of the power to say more. Yet, before they parted, he claimed one thing from her while abandoning so much. "If she calls on you one day for your appreciation of a more suitable lover, will you send for me then?" he urged. And her promise to this she yielded to his importunity. But she shook her head wearily; the girl seemed so entirely her second self—to her. But his last sight of the girl was a little figure in pink under the pink-blossomed almond tree. And, seeing her there, turning to wave a hand, another privilege of youth than the one her mother had mentioned flashed across htm—the right to change his mind, to love again and love better, to renew its fancy with the wand of time, as the sweet almond blossoms are renewed each spring; coming ever as a surprise, yet ever the same. So she flung hope, like a perfume, after him—all she could give him that he cared to have—Sketch. --- ```markdown ``` QUIET HOUR Hands of Toll in the shop of Nazareth Pungent炭海 haunts the breath.

The Tyranny of Our Past. Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written I have written."—John, xix., 22. "What I have written I have written," said Pontius Pilate to the Jews who came to ask him to change the inscription above the cross. He meant that it was too late. The writing had been nailed to the cross. It was gone beyond recall. The first thought which the text throws into bold relief is the unalterability of the past. And closely allied with this thought of the unalterableness of the past is its irreparableness. The harm done can never be repaired. The sin may be forgiven, but its consequences remain. The thought of the irreparableness of the past is certainly one of great solemnity; but what about the irreparableness of the future? What I mean by that is that the past coerces the future, constrains the future, makes the future. To express the truth in the words of the text would make it read thus: "What I have written I shall write again." There is a tendency in every one of us to repeat the past in the future. Unless there are other influences of greater power at work we are sure to perform any act or think out any line of thought in the same way that we have done it before. We are ever automatically repeating the past. Yes, my friends, if the past could stand alone by itself, without any coercing power over the future, that would be one thing. It would make the whole problem of character and salvation vastly easier than it is. But it cannot stand alone. One of the most awful momentous truths that concern us here is the dreadful coerciveness which the past exercises over the future. I am not sure that this thought does not enter into life computations as it should. We live careless of its deep and solemn meaning. To me no truth has greater import. "What I have written I have written." Nay, infinitely more awful than that, "What I have written I shall write again." It seems to me that this truth ought to throw into very conspicuous emphasis the danger which surrounds men who have lived for a half century without accepting Christ. Is there any chance that they will ever accept? Humanly speaking, no. Their past indifference shall ever constrain and coerce them. But oh, there is one hope. Oor and against the coercions of the past I place the power of the Holy Ghost. Against human conservatisms I pilt the power of heaven. Although fifty, sixty or seventy years have passed of rejection of the Savior, and though your soul be to all human sight crystallized into obdurate and seemingly eternal indifference to God, yet if you will let the power of God work within your heart it will break to pieces the hardened insensibility and make you like a child in Christ. Will you, then, in the power of God, break with the past to day, and by the help of the Holy Ghost turn your heart in childlike trust to the Master? May God forbid that in the lives of those who know no Christ the sad and implied prophecy of the text shall ever be true—"What I have written I have written. What I have written I shall forever write."—Rev. Wilton Merle Smith, D.D. God's Watchfulness At the battle of Crecy, where Edward the Black Prince, then a youth of eighteen years of age, led the van, the king, his father, drew up a strong party on a rising ground, and there beheld the conflict, in readiness to send relief where it should be wanted. The young prince, being sharply charged and in some danger, sent to his father for succor; and as the king delayed to send it, another messenger was sent to crave immediate assistance. To him the king replied: "Go tell my son I am not so inexperienced a commander as not to know when succor is wanted, nor so careless a father as not to send it." He intended the honor of the day should be his son's, and therefore let him with courage stand to it, assured that the help should be had when it might conduce most to his renown. God draws forth his servants to fight in the spiritual warfare, where they are engaged not only against the strongholds of carnal reason and the exalted imaginations of their own hearts, but also in the pitched field against Satan and his wicked instruments. But they, poor hearts, when the charge is sharp, are ready to despond, and cry with Peter: "Save, Lord, we perish"; but God is too watchful to overlook their exigencies and too much a father to neglect this succor. If help, however, be delayed, it is that the victory may be more glorious by the difficulty of overcoming—Spurgeon. Thine own easy ways will become hard to thee; God will make hard ways easy. Rejoicing In Tribulation: This is contrary to the flesh, but in harmony with grace. Men naturally shun what is disagreeable and irksome. To endure tribulation with joy, it must be of a kind that has not come upon us by our own folly and sin. If we bring trouble and hardship upon ourselves by our own wrong-doing, we should mourn and repent rather than rejoice. But if for fidelity to truth and devotion to Christ we suffer, then we can rejoice that we are accounted worthy to enter into the fellowship of His sufferings. To such Christ speaks: "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life." Such as bear trial for Jesus patiently and joyfully, thereby give a good and effectual testimony of the reality of the Christian religion. The world has respect and reverence for a Christian who is himself a living example of the faith he professes. But the unregenerate despise hypocrisy in religion and take a discriminating view of practical Christianity as they read it in the life of professed followers of Christ. For Christians to fall under the stress of persecution and tribulation, where they have best opportunities to show what grace can do, is enough to bring them into contempt among unbelievers and gives occasion to make them question the worth of Christianity itself as a personal benefit in the conflicts of life. There are sadder hearts than yours; go and comfort them and that will comfort you. Spirit of True Praver. F. W. Robertson once said of the prayer that controls: "That prayer which does not succeed in moderating our wish, in charging the passionate desire into still submission, the anxious, tumultuous expectation into silent surrender, is no true prayer, and proves that we have not the spirit of true prayer. That life is most holy in where there is least of petition and desire, and most of waiting upon God; that in which petition most often passes into thanksgiving. Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will. The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means to obtain the good things of the earth, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it." The sweetest songs of faith are sung in the dark. Work for Eternity. Never mind where your work is. Never mind whether it is visible or not. Never mind whether your name is associated with it. You may never see the issues of your toils. You are working for eternity. If you cannot see results here in the hot working day, the cool evening hours are drawing near, when you may rest from your labors, and then they may follow you. So do your duty, and trust God to give the seed you sow "a body as it hath pleased him."—Alexander Maclaren. The best man in a controversy is the one who does the most listening. Straight and Narrow Path. We may sometimes have wondered why the Christian life should be represented by the narrow way. More than one reason might be given, and a very helpful one has been suggested by the Rev. J. H. Jowett, who says: "Broad ways never lead to high summits." Commanding prospects are gained by straight and narrow paths. The broad way winds round the base. The narrow way climbs the slope and reaches the crown. So it is with the soul." Be not content with appearances, but seek the living reality of holiness. Getting and Giving. The great ocean is in a constant state of evaporation. It gives back what it receives, and sends its waters into mists, to gather into clouds, and so there is rain in the fields, and storm on the mountain, and beauty everywhere. But there are men who do not believe in evaporation. They get all they can, and keep all they get, and so are not fertilizers, but only stagnant pools. God's justice cannot be welghed in the scales of our scruples. The Voice of Conscience. Conscience can create for us heaven or hell. The most vivid conceptions of "inferno" are mild to the tortures of a guilty conscience; while a pure mind, a clear conscience, and lofty spirit create heaven. Centenarian's Progeny. Mme.

The liver and bowels need a cleaning out in the spring and nothing is so effective and at the same time so pleasant to take as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Too many people make the skin do the work that the bowels and kidneys should do. A bilious, constipated condition means a yellow skin, lusterless eyes, foul breath, and a general worn out feeling. All this can be remedied by the use of Dr. Caldwell's (Lexative) Syrup Pepsin, which is sold by all drummers and dealers in medicine. Treasure Long Unclaimed.

Cost of Torpedoes. Since the war began in the Orient and so much has been printed about torpedoes, many people have asked in amazement why those implements should cost so much. A good torpedo made to order comes as high as $5,000. Even ready made torpedoes are by no means cheap, as they cost $2,500 apiece at wholesale rates. Superstition In Korea. No Korean couple would think of marrying without consulting the sage. This he does simply by adding the bride's age to the bridegroom's, and, after determining which star rules the destiny of their united ages, he decrees that the wedding shall take place upon the day sacred to that star. Match Making In France Eight hundred tons of sulphur were used in France last year in making matches. The daily consumption was three per head of the population. Match making is a monopoly of the French government to which it yields an annual revenue of $5,000,000. Japanese Servants. The Japanese women have no servant problem to solve, simply because they do not look down on servants as such. Visitors bow as low to servants as to their mistress, and if the mistress is away the servants serve tea and entertain the visitors. WHAT THE KING EATS What's Fit for Him. A Mass. lady who has been through the mill with the trials of the usual housekeeper and mother relates an interesting incident that occurred not long ago. She says: "I can with all truthfulness say that Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all cereal foods in my family, young as well as old. It is food and medicine both to us. A few mornings ago at breakfast my little boy said: "Mamma, does the King eat Grape-Nuts every morning? "I smiled and told him I did not know, but that I thought Grape-Nuts certainly made a delicious dish, fit for a King." (It's a fact that the King of England and the German Emperor both eat Grape-Nuts.) "I find that by the constant use of Grape-Nuts not only as a morning cereal but also in puddings, salads, etc., made after the delicious recipes found in the little book in each package it is proving to be a great nerve food for me besides having completely cured a long standing case of indigestion." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the most scientific food in the world. Ten days' trial of this proper food in place of improper food will show in steady, stronger nerves, sharper brain and the power to "go" longer and further and accomplish more. There's a reason. Look in each pkg. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." A World Wide Reputation.

A prominent club woman, Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she was cured of falling of the womb and its accompanying pains and misery by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my sun had set; but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound came to me as an elixir of life; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for the help I obtained through its use."—Mrs. FLORENCE DANFORTH, 1007 Miles Ave., St. Joseph, Mich. A medicine that has restored so many women to health and can produce proof of the fact must be regarded with respect. This is the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which cannot be equalled by any other medicine the world has ever produced. Here is another case:— "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For years I was troubled with falling of the womb, irregular and painful menstruation, leucorrhoea, bearing-down pains, backache, headache, dizzy and fainting spells, and stomach trouble. "I doctored for about five years but did not seem to improve. I began the use of your medicine, and have taken seven bottles of Lydia E.

Why not save the grain ordinarily put into the straw stack? Why not save the time which the ordinary threshing outfit wastes for you? This can be done by employing the RED RIVER SPECIAL. It runs right along, saving your grain and saving time, regardless of conditions. Looking for a Home?

The latest proposals for intensifying the oxidizing action of air on metals is that of M. Harmet, and has for its object the treatment of cast iron, producing a refined iron or steel. Molten iron is caused to flow through a fine channel surrounded by an annular air-blast, which thus forms a turpere, driving the metal forward in a fine spray. This spray is collected and allowed to flow together again in a receiving chamber, from which the molten steel can be tapped. Essence of Orange Leaves. A notable industry in Paraguay is the preparation of essence of orange leaves. Some one hundred and fifty years ago the Jesuit priests, who then ruled that country, planted the orange forests. This essence is largely imported into France and the United States for use in soap and perfumery making. It is also used in Paraguay as a healing ointment and a hair tonic. Walnut in France. Walnut is only employed in France in cabinet and carpenter's work. In 1902 the imports of walnut were 2.452 tons and exports 5,623 tons. During the last four years the imports have steadily declined, while exports have increased from 3,660 tons in 1899 to 5,623 tons in 1902. Natural Gas. Natural gas is used for cooking in more than half a million homes and more than four and a half million persons use it as an illuminant, according to the report of the Geological Survey.

A woman in society is obliged to keep late hours. She must attend receptions and balls. She seldom allows herself a quiet evening at home. Her whole time is taken up in keeping engagements or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as systemic catarrh. This has also been called catarrhary nervousness. If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time, if they could realize the invigorating, strengthening effect that Peruna would have, how much misery could be avoided.

The doctor advised a complete rest for a year. As this was out of the question for a time, I began to look for some other means of restoring my health. "I had often heard of Peruna as an excellent tonic, so I bought a bottle to see what it would do for me, and it certainly took hold of my system and rejuvenated me, and in less than two months I was in perfect health, and now when I feel worn out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all that I need."—Mrs. J. E. Finn. Mrs. J. W. Reynolds, Elkton, Ohio, writes: "I owe my health and life to Peruna. We rarely call in a physician, in fact it has been years since I have taken any other medicine than yours. I am afraid of drugs, and although I have been sick many times I have taken only my medicines. They are wonderful indeed. We have a very large house and entertain a great deal and I do all my own work, thanks to Peruna."—Mrs. J. W. Reynolds. Free Treatment for Women.

Disfiguring Humors Use CUTICURA Every child born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to torturing, disfiguring humors of the Skin and Scalp, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffering, but because of the dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, viz.: the CUTICURA Treatment, consisting of warm baths with CUTICURA Soap, and gentle anointings with CUTICURA Ointment, the great Skin Cure. Cures made in childhood are speedy, permanent and economical. Sold throughout the world. Cutlurea Soap 25c. Oftreatment 30c.
