The Next Senator HON. R. C. The friends of Colonel R. C. Kerens are making a gallant fight to land him in the United States senate. And although matters have not as yet assumed a definite shape, the concensus of opinion is that the colonel will be the winner. The party standing of Colonel Kerens is very strong. For twenty years he has devoted his time and money in the interest of the success of the Republican party in the state of Missouri. His activity has been both strong and consistent. He served on the executive committee of the National Republican convention for sixteen years. In the gloomy TO INCREASE ITS ENDOWMENT. Booker T. Washington Sends Out an The Sentinel has received an appeal, signed by Booker T. Washington, on behalf of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, of which the following is a part: During the twenty-three years that the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute has been in existence, counting those who have finished a full course, together with the much larger number of those who have taken a partial course, but who have remained long enough to get into the spirit and methods of the institution, we have sent out quite 6,000 men and women who are doing effective work, mainly in the South, as teachers both in the class room and of the industries, as mechanics and in domestic work. Just now there are three urgent needs which I think the public would like to know about and assist us in meeting: 1. The annual cost of operating the institution is $160,000. Of this amount we can depend upon $69,933 from assured sources, leaving $90,067 to be raised through the gifts of friends. 2. Increase of our endowment fund from its present figures, $1,030,552.28 to at least $3,000,000. 3. Sixty-five thousand dollars with which to build a new dining hall—$19,000 of this amount now being in hand. No need of the school is more urgent than this one. The students will make the bricks and do most of the work on the building. --- periods of the state politics, the colonel was always on hand ready to respond with his time and finance. These facts contribute largely to the probability of his success in the race for the senatorship. Col. Kerens also occupies a warm place in the hearts of the colored boys of the state, many of whom have declared their preference and support for him. This is not surprising since Colonel Kerens has always treated his colored friends with due consideration, has helped them when he could and has always had a good word for a good man. The Son wishes Colonel Kerens much success. We shall be glad of money toward one or all of these purposes. The smallest sum will be gratefully received. Money sent to the school will be devoted to the purposes named. Crossing Sweeper Grows Rich A London crossing sweeper, who was supposed to be penulless, was found, when he died, to have been the possessor of $1,500. He had made it by picking up the ends of cigars and cigarettes, doing up the tobacco in one-cent packages and selling them to the inmates of cheap lodging houses. Uncle Allen "This prejudice against 'race suicide,'" said Uncle Allen Sparks, "is about as inconsistent a thing as I know of. We applaud human beings for being the parents of a dozen children and we curse the unpretending house fly for being the mother of a million children." Work for Alligator Hunters Alligator hunters are wanted in Venezuela, where those animals are said to exist in untold numbers. The hunting is good sport, the skins are valuable, and the oil, which is used for medicinal purposes, also fetches a good price. Something Like a Beacon A lighthouse shortly to be in operation on Levnard island, on the west coast of Vancouver island, will be the most powerful in America, being of 750,000 candle power and visible for twenty-five miles.

These speak some 3,064 languages, and are worshipers of more than 1,100 religions. The average length of life is 33 1:3 years. One-fourth of mankind die before the seventh and one-half before the seventeenth year, only one-sixth live beyond the age of sixty. Thirty-three million die annually, 91,000 daily, 3,730 every hour, 60 every minute. While one-fourth are capable of bearing arms, only one in a thousand is naturally inclined to the profession.

Please do not treat this notice with unconcern, because we must meet our obligations and in order to do so must urge our readers to be prompt in paying our collectors. Fishing Wheels. A curious plan for catching fish is used on the River Columbia. A number of wheels are set up in the middle of the stream, which, as they turn around, catch up the fish and cast them into troughs by the river banks. As much as five tons weight of fish a day has thus been taken. Physique Outranks Intellect. An English naval cadet who took eleven first prizes on his training ship and in the first examination gained 97.6 per cent of the possible marks, has been rejected on medical examination for the navy, owing to a small defect in one little toe.

Enthusiasm Easily Aroused It is positively wonderful what energy and enthusiasm some people have in the exciting occupation of doing nothing. Celestial Refreshments Places of rest and refreshment are commonly to be found at the halting stations on the highways in the interior, or at the villages on the banks of the great rivers of China. They frequently take the form of a small mud hut, having a dark interior filled with smoke, tea tables, forms, and an oven, where a cook is kept busy baking, tea bread and trying puddings for the entertainment of the customers, whose favorite beverage is tea, although when times are good and the weather cold they indulge in something stronger, which often inebriates, and that at avery cheap rate. Professor's Witty Comment. Old students of Prof. Jebb, the famous classical scholar of Cambridge, laugh over a certain lecture delivered by their mentor in a room under that in which the late Prof. Veitch was also expounding important principles and driving home his points with a thumping fist upon his desk. At last down from the ceiling upon Prof. Jebb's head fell a piece of plaster, "Prof. Veitch's premises do not appear to support his conclusions," was his lightning comment before gravely passing on with his own discourse. Qualities for Friendship. Give me for my friend one who will unite heart and hand with me, who will throw himself into my cause and interest, who will take part when I am attacked, who will be sure before-hand that I am in the right, and if he is critical, as he may have cause to be, towards a being of sin and imperfection, will be so from very love and loyalty, and a wish that others should love me as heartily as he.—Cardinal Newman. Severe French Critic. "Every grocer's son in Paris," says a critic, "has taken to writing books in the hope of making as much money as Zola. There are 100,000 writers and 100,000 painters and they write or paint for sordid gain, not for art. They pay the butcher and baker by scribbling or daubing when they ought to be making up parcels behind counters." Electric Insects. Electric insects have been reported. A noted hunter makes the statement that upon taking up a large caterpillar in the forests of South America he received so powerful a shock that his right arm and side were almost paralyzed, and even his life jeopardized. A Remarkable Tree A very remarkable tree grows in Nevada. It is called by the superstitions Indians the witch tree. It grows to a height of six or seven feet, and its trunk at the base is about three times the diameter of an ordinary man's wrist. The wonderful characteristic of the tree is its luminosity, which is so great that on the darkest night it can be seen plainly at least a mile away. A person standing near could read small print by its light. "Linen" Garden Party A "linen" garden party was recently given by the lord mayor of Belfast. The most attractive costumes worn by the ladies were entirely of linen, and the men wore linen wristcoats. The idea originated in the very successful "all linen" hall at Belfast last year, which was given to and the staple industry of Ulster. Wanted To Grind the Water Grandpa has a chain pump that turns with a crank. Little May was visiting at the farm, and seeing grandpa pumping, rushed out, exclaiming, "Oh, grandpa, grandpa!"

This makes the John Taylor Dry Goods Co. one of the largest and best concerns in the west. When Bettors Should Quit. The London Sketch says a professional betting man should go out of business when 50 years old. After that age a man makes mistakes. Between 50 and 65 he stands to lose 75 per cent of what he accumulated before 50. Many Buried in One Grave. Many Buried in One Grave. While making excavations for the enlargement of a church at Roggett, Monmouthshire, Eng., the other day, about a hundred skeletons were discovered. The bodies had apparently been buried in one grave. They are supposed to be the remains of victims of the plague, or of men who fell in a border raid. The skeletons have been reinterred. Kiss Once a Religious Observance. Kiss Once a Religious Observance. The kiss has been common among English speaking people for uncounted centuries. It was known even to these mystical, half forgotten persons, the Druids, who appear to have made it in some way a very important part of their religious observances. The Christian kiss under the mistletoe comes down from them, and is thought to have had in years long past a sacred significance. The Devil Grows Clumsy. A Malden woman whose sprained knee was made well by faith alone, two days after she fell from her bicycle, explains the accident: "Satan had a special spite against my bicycle, because it was dedicated to God before I ever mounted it." Yet the bicycle did not suffer. The devil is growing clumsy—Boston Advertiser. Sage Fixes Wedding Date No Korean couple would think of marrying without consulting the sage who fixes the happy day for them. 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. Origin of Phrases: The London Daily News has discovered what a good many Americans may have forgotten that the popular phrase "the man in the street" comes from Emerson. It occurs in "The Conduct of Life," in the section on "Worship," speaking of the movement to repeal the corn laws in England. Emerson goes on: "Well," says the man in the street, "Cobden got a stipend out of it." Savages First to Use Mortar. Mortar was made by the people of Tabitil when our ancestors were shivering in holes in the rocks. They dived into the sea, brought up great lumps of coral, burned them in pits, using wood as fuel, and mixed the lime they got in this fashion with sharp sand and water. With this mixture the ingenious savage plastered the walls and floor of his house, and a better mortar could not be obtained. Discomfited Lawyer. During the last session of the CpCcuit court in a small town in southern Wisconsin a well-known badger lawyer came to grief by being just a little too sharp. According to his habit, he was browbeating one of the witnesses, "Now, Mr. Jones," said he, "you can answer that question a little more clearly. You are not as green as you look." "Yes," drew the witness, in reply, "I am a butcher by profession and not a lawyer." Laplar's Chief Crimes In Istanbul, the crime which is punished most severely, next to murder, is the marrying of a girl against the express wish of her parents. Suffocate Boy in Treacle Two schoolboys at Lear, near the Dutch frontier, put Hendrick Basch, a companion, aged thirteen, in a barrel half filled with treacle, for cheating at pitch-and-toss. They confessed what they had done and Basch was found suffocated. NUMBER 34. The greatest event during the Holiday season—Christmas a day Late. A beautiful cantata in which Columbia, Brittania, Santa Claus and Father Neptune will appear with all their children. Through anger Santa Claus disappoints some of his children. Christmas is a dismal day for them. "Peace and Good Will," (Angel chorus), while the little ones are sleeping. Santa Claus finally repents and is sorry for the disappointed children, and though a day late, he comes bringing gifts for all, which puts an end to their troubles. The ladies of St. Pancras Guild are preparing this Christmas treat for you, to be given at Turner Hall, corner of Twelfth and Oak streets, December 29th, 1901. A. Contented Husband. No, my wife's not educated, and when she tries to talk upon the topics of the day, you're apt to get a shock. She isn't up in music, and she never went to dances, yet when old enough to marry, she had a dozen chancs. No, she isn't very handsome, but then she takes the cake when it comes to making biseit like mother used to make — Cincinnati Enquirer. Product of the American Cow. The American cow is an institution of huge dimensions. She produces annually 8,000,000,000 gallons of milk, 1,500,000,000 pounds of butter, and 300,000,000 pounds of cheese; not to mention hides, leather, glue, hair, horns, and other by-products. Her total dairy crop is worth over $500,000,000 a year. Turkeys Destroy Caterpillars Dr. G. W. Field, of the biological farm in Sharon, Mass., instructs his young turkeys to find and eat caterpillars and in this way gets rid of the pests. He takes a turkey chick under his arm and, passing along the young cabbage plants, shows the caterpillar to the bird, and the former sees his finish. The young chicks are apt pupils and soon can go it alone. Living Pictures Are Popular. Living pictures - clever and finished representations of groups taken from Dresden and Sevres china are very popular at one of the London music halls. Tobacco's Draft on the Soil. It has been calculated that a ton of tobacco withdraws over a hundredweight of mineral constituents per acre of land. Disinfect Railway Carriages. Dublin Airport Carriage On the Havarian state railways the passenger carriages are regularly disinfected with formaldehyde. The method adopted is to close the windows and doors tightly, and on the floor of the car is placed a pan which contains metal weights heated to a dull red color. A 20 per cent solution of formaldehyde is then poured into the pan. After having been left for about seven hours the carriage is then thoroughly ventilated. Two Ways of Competing: There are two ways by which the man that is entering butter in a contest can make his butter. One way is to select the cream and make sure that all conditions are perfect. This way of making his butter is not the ordinary one and the only good that can come from the competition is that he may make a few dollars or get a medal. The real object of butter contests is to improve the conditions under which butter is made. To get any real good the buttermaker must make his butter as he makes it every day and out of the cream that is an average of that he every day handles. Then he will find out what the butter judges think of his work. In this way he can make real progress and bring up his business. The information he gets from the butter judges is of far more consequence to him than would be any amount of prize money and medals. Religious Thought Where God Placed Thee. Seek not to die the place God placed For where he wills is the true place for thee. for these If then bucket thine own choice, then their own The Message the World Wants The Message the World Wants. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them, and the desert shall revive and blossom as the rose—blooming. Isaiah was a poet. His pictures were figurative but always thrilling. Often he executes our interest by contrast, as here; first he describes the doom of Eden then brightens the entire view with the gladness of a better day, so from cerie gloom the prospect passes to hope and cheer. That is the message the world wants. The continuous thread running through history is kindness and goodness and cheerless life. Things that are bitter and acrid and dark abound too much. The struggle has ever been to clear the wilderness, to pop late the solitary places, to irrigate and make fruitful the desert. The Heavenly Father is a rare guarder and the best friend of men what He plants blossoms and yield richly. We look for the anemone and the rose, for waters in the wilderness and streams in the desert, for spring in a thirsty land, and grass and verdure where sand and waste were before, and we are not disappointed. The wilderness and the solitary place are glad for them. So Jesus at Nazareth said he was anointed to preach gladiations to bind up the broken hearted to comfort all that mourn, to repair the desolation. What is done to replevin the ground is being done to benefit and improve men, who are dearer to God than the ground and its fruits; and if there be joy when a sand waste or jungle is reclaimed, there will be rejoicing when the life of any of us is filled with goodness and moved by mercy that droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven; when notes of unkindness and sharp edged prejudice and illomened thoughts and restive and intrusive self-seeking, which forget alike both God and man, are weed out and we become like trees, where are the planting of the Lord, tall stately, strong trutful. A pretty legend tells how when Jesus left the tomb on the resurrection morning flowers spring up in the part behind Him, and this is true in a better way than the legend tells, for free. His influence more fragrant things than flowers have sprung forbearance, consideration, thoughtfulness, gentleness. These are the roses that grace character and render associations happy. A garden of such blooms will go far toward redeeming a waste place. The Prophet describes a scene of "parched" ground and all over it in the mark of desolation. This illustrates the forbidding and sordid and unwholesome elements of existence of the things that poison and hurt an oppoil us, and that go to make life sterile and dreary and hard for others to live. A single garden speci helps to beautify an otherwise unsightly district, as sometimes mere a window flower box cheers a stiffing, tenement, or a bit of park gladelet the dirty city; and much more does a genial and goodly life scatter sunshine everywhere. Gladness and joy are to dispossess desolation. Men are to grow better; to catch the spirit of Jesus; to be moved by His masterful love away from every sneaking sin; to put down the whelming of self; to be fitted unto the gentleness and sweetness of Jesus; to be steadied at the weak points of all our infirmities, and to have His light centered upon the dark disc of our consciousness; to draw ever nearer His cloudless presence. Good people—actively breathing and doing good—breathing the atmosphere, of God and healthful with the vigor which that imparts, and by the love of God within them, are to rid the world of its meanness and irritations and guile, and so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations.—Robert Bruce Clark. Losing Faith When Things Go Well! People say, "It is easy to trust God when things are going well with us." That is quite true. But let us not forget that it is a great deal easier to stop trusting God or thinking about Him when things are going well with us, and we do not seem to need Him so much as in the hours of darkness. There is danger of losing faith when things go well. And it is this danger from uninterrupted prosperity the Psalmist is referring to when he says: "Because they have no changes therefore they fear not God." Certainly prosperity and untroubled lives have their own most searching trials of faith. There are disadvantages of lifting things go well. One, as we have mentioned, is forgetfulness of God. It is a strange perversity of human nature that we are so likely to leave God out of mind when things are going well with us, while we call upon him most quickly when in trouble. Another is pride and self-sufficiency. It does not take uninterrupted prosperity long to engender these feelings in most of men. It takes a large measure of grace to successfully resist the tend ency. There are diseases that are common to the North, the dark, ice-bound regions of the earth; but let us not forget that there are a great many more that belong to the tropics. It is not well for us to live always in the sunshine. At least, it takes more grace to live well there amid the added, though unseen, dangers. "Because they have no changes therefore they fear not God." There are advantages of having faith tested. The Edomite saint must have looked into birds' nests when he used the comparison, "I said, I shall lie in my nest." This is what a good many people say. They build each a nest for himself, and not for a summer, but for a life. They say that they shall die in it after many years of enjoyment of it. But they need the treatment the mother bird gives her young. Her first step is to make the nest uncomfortable. "As an eagle 'stirth up her nest,' she mixeth the durny outside with the downy inside. So God by his testing providences, makes the place of rest one of unrest in us, and thus uses us out to trust ourselves to his care and guidance over untidied ways. And so he brings is to a stronger, maturer, more useful life. The wind roots the tree deeper in the soil. The stormy waves cause the anchor to take a stronger grip. There are advantages in disadvantages. Disappointment have proved God's best appointments. Financial gain has proved a man's salvation. Sickness has brought to many people their highest health. The uses of with testing have been corrective, instructive, sanctifying, satisfying. The useful of faith is often "found unto raise and honour and glory." -G. B. Hallock, D. D. Power of Patience. Life at best is a struggle. The sea over which we sail to the "morning and" is swept by many a fierce storm; it is certain that each heart knoweth its own bitterness. There are stubborn enemies with which we have to contend; tempests of temptation that weep our path with all but irresistible fury; nights of darkness, when very star is hidden from our longing yes; times of shipwreck that leave us with empty hands on the sad shore. We must climb with weary feet many crunged path. But in spite of all his life is not a losing fight to the out that will have the victory. The text: "But let patience have or perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing; orings before us a great hope that dines like the north star in the dark at night. We may reach the perfect it we will we may be 'complete and entire,' wanting nothing. Life is for ever struggling to reach the perfect. Patience will have her perfect work when we are able to work on without sorry or feet. It is friction that takes he power out of life. The mightiest orces are nobiless. There is soufriction as well as friction in any other realm. Wherever it is found it takes impossible the best. Patience can have her perfect work only when here is persistent endurance to the end. Patience, horn of faith, ripened by endurance, working in calmness, looking forward with hope, mellowed by sacrifices, steadied by the touch of a divine hand will lead to the goal and securely life at the last.—Dr. P. H. Swift. 1 The Influence of a Look. The Influence of a Look. Disappointment, alliment or even weather depresses us; and our look or tone of depression hinders others from maintaining a cheerful and thankful spirit. We say an unkincing thing, and another is hindered to earning the holy lesson of charity that thirstk no evil. We say a prooking thing, and our sister or brother is hindered in that day's effort to be meek. How sadly, too, we may under without word or act! For wrong feeling is more infectious than wrong doing, especially the various phases of ill-temper—gloominess, touchiness, discontent, irritability—so we not know how catching these are—Frances Ridley Havergal. The Message of the Face. Faces have an influence that words can never have. The eyes, the brow, the lines of the whole visage, speak out as the tongue can never speak. The face is not merely physical; it changes inevitably as the inner man changes. Hard thoughts, evil desires, selfish ambitions, show through the countenance as in no other way. And the influence of these inner thoughts and purposes of ours is felt by those who merely look at us. It is not enough that we should have a care about words and deeds as influencing others; the very countenance itself lighted from within, should sneak forth a clean, wholesome message to all who look in the eyes. Loyalty to Christ. Loyalty to Christ involves loyalty to man as man and brother, man of every clime and condition and nation. A little boy without father and mother was sent on the cars alone to a distant state to an uncle who offered him a home. When asked how he expected to reach his destination within out anyone to care for him, he said, "My Sunday school teacher sewed the directions on my coat," and showed them. They were these: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, My brethern, ye have done it unto me." Christ was traveling in his person and was served in serving him.

Rear Admiral Evans to Be in Command of Largest Rear Admiral Evans, who was a year ago in command of our Asiatic fleet, is to succeed in March Rear Admiral Albert S. Barker as commander of our Atlantic fleet. This now consists of three squadrons and a torpedo flotilla. Rear Admiral Barker is in command of the three squadrons, Rear Admiral Charles H. Davis commanding the battleship squadron, Rear Admiral Siggsbee the Caribbean squadron, and Rear Admiral James H. Sands the coast squadron. All told there are in the North Atlantic fleet nine battleships, seven cruisers, two of the new monitors, seven torpedo boats and five colliers and supply vessels. Rear Admiral Evans will in March have command of the largest fleet in the American navy and one of the largest fleets in the world. Rear Admiral Davis will remain in command of the battleship squadron and will be second in command of the fleet. Rear Admiral T. F. Jewell, who has been in command of the European squadron, was retired Nov. 19 and was succeeded by Capt. Harrison G. O. Colby. The squadron consists of the Olympia, Cleveland and Des Moines. The Pacific squadron, now at Panama under command of Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich, is composed of the New York, Boston, Marblehead, Wyoming (new monitor), and four other vessels. The Asiatic fleet, under command of Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, is now divided into three squadrons. The battleship squadron (Wisconsin, Oregon and Monadnock) is under the immediate command of Rear Admiral Stirling; the cruiser squadron under command of Rear Admiral William M. Felger and the Philippine squadron under command of Rear Admjral Charles J. Train. The South Atlantic squadron (Brooklyn, Atlantic, Castine and Mar- EX-PRESIDENT KRUGER'S LAST VOICE BOARD THE BATAVIER On October 31 President Kruger's order to be conveyed to their last rest president's wish that he should be buiish government acceded. letta) is under command of Rear Admiral F. E. Chadwick and the Atlantic training squadron has been in charge of Capt. Royal B. Bradford, who became Rear Admiral on the retirement of Jewell. The battleship Ohio, ready for service, is still at San Francisco. The cruiser Chicago left San Juan, Porto Rico, last week for the straits of Magellan. There the Chicago will become the flagship of the Pacific squadron. The new armored cruisers, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, are approaching completion and will soon be a part of the battleship squadron of the North Atlantic fleet. Growth of the English Tongue. Growth of the English Tongue. Today over 135,000,000 people speak English. It has displaced French as the language of diplomacy and is now making great headway as the universal language of trade. All North America, South Africa, Liberia, Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, Hawaii, most of Polynesia and various small states have permanently adopted our mother tongue, and there is every reason to believe that the 16,000,000 of Filipinos will be using it in the course of time. With the construction of the Panama canal, Central America also will probably yield to its influence to a large extent—Kansas City Journal. Bojestvensky as Society Man. Rojestensky as usus Admiral Rojestensky was naval attache of the Russian embassy in London. By his many graces and especially in waltzing, he turned the heads of all the marriageable girls of the English aristocracy. Whenever he led the cettilion his hostess was simply transported with joy. At an evening party not so long ago a noble dame, who had been a lady in waiting to Queen Victoria, was heard to murmur the admiral's name, which she pronounced with perfect and even melodious case. "Ah," she said, with a sigh, "I wanted to marry him." Governors Self-Made Men. Bryant B. Brooks, governor elect of Wyoming, was born in Massachusetts and went to Wyoming in 1881 and worked as a cowboy near Cheyenne. He is a self-educated and self-made man and has large stock, land bank and other interests. William M. O. Dawson, the Republican governor elect of West Virginia, is 50 years old and began life as a printer, then became an editor and is now a lawyer. CURE FOR BRIGHT'S DISEASE. Important Medical Discovery Made by Professor Axes At the fifty-fifth meeting of the American Medical association, Prof. Ayres of the New York Post-Graduate hospital is said to have "startled the convention by the announcement that he believed that Bright's disease, in the early stages, at least, was curable." His treatment consists in the injection of drugs directly into the kidneys. According to the newspaper accounts, he has cured forty-three cases, and out of ninety-three which he has treated only one "failed to respond." It is said by many that in the early stages—rather an indefinite phrase—of Bright's disease, a patient can cure himself by a rigid devotion to buttermilk. We have known at least one man, a very brilliant man, who found this simple remedy worse than the disease. After three months of nothing but buttermilk, he said that he preferred to die, and he died.—With the Procession, Everybody's Magazine. Growth of a Free Spirit: Growth of a Free Spirit. It seems to us that, in spite of the wide dominion of Russia and Great Britain, the day of world empires has gone by. Despotisms are ill fitted to bear universal sway, because by their very nature they provoke rebellion, and rebellion against despotism is the necessary result of the growth of liberty. Nor are democracies adapted to this work, for they are the products of the free spirit, and they can not, without fatal consequences to themselves, go into the business of enslaving people. In the old days despotisms could do this work, but that was before there was such a thing as the people. We are more likely to see some disintegration rather than further consolidation. The British empire exists at the present time only by the tolerance of the people inhabiting its various parts—because they believe they are better off within it.

Carnegie's Religious Belief Andrew Carnegie's alleged disbelief in the Christian religion is again under discussion, this time by directors of the Brooklyn public library, which is a part of the Carnegie library system. These gentlemen are exercised over the question of whether or not the exact terms of the Carnegie library contracts shall be observed. Mr. Carnegie branches shall be open on public holidays, but many of the directors of the Brooklyn branch want it closed on Thanksgiving day and Christmas, as heretofore. The discussion included some delicately expressed references to Mr. Carnegie's attitude toward religion, but the directors took no decided action. Ministers Gather in Cafe. Every Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock a group of Lutheran ministers meet in a quiet cafe near the New York postoffice and discuss parishional affairs, meanwhile decorously sipping a glass or two of lager, and maybe smoking a cigar. Dr. Richter, pastor of St. Peter's German Evangelical church in the Bronx, is a regular attendant at these gatherings, which last for an hour or two each week. The doctor has six strapping sons, but he does not think any of them will go into the ministry, there being no inducement in this country, he says, for a young man to take up the profession. He wants them all to become farmers. Rider Haggard in South Africa. Rider Haggard has done a great many things besides write the stories through which he is best known to the public. Back in the '70's he was a prominent personage in South Africa —master of the high court of the Transvaal and the man who, with Col. Brooke, hoisted the British flag over the South African republic. He was a mighty hunter in those days, too, and many of the adventures so excitingly set out in his novels are written directly from his own experiences. Some years ago he took up the investigation of the condition of agriculture in England and is now noted for his tireless activity in the interest of the British farmer. HONOR FOR POOR STUDENT. Penniless Youth Chosen President of Harvard Sophomore Class. The election of Wilford Henry Keeling as president of the sophomore class smashes all the traditions of Harvard university as to wealth, social standing and athletic prominence. Keeling is a poor youth from Sloux City, Iowa, who has won the coveted honor by strength of character. He came to the university with only $100. J. WILFORD H. KEELING and is working his way through the institution, at times serving as a waiter. BIT OF RUSSIAN FATALISM. Lesson from Recent Destruction of Torpedo Destroyer. The light-hearted manner in which the commander of the Russian destroyer Rastoropny blew up his boat at Chefoo after bringing dispatches from Port Arthur was quite in harmony with Russian naval procedure. Two Japanese torpedo boats were waiting outside the harbor, and so, after gallantly running the gauntlet of an entire fleet in order to reach Chefoo, he destroyed his ship. An American or an Englishman would have done his best to escape. A Frenchman would have undertaken to fight his way out, and if defeated have gone down with his colors flying. A German in the last resort would have prudently opened the sea-cocks. He would not have blown up his ship in a neutral harbor. But to the Russian none of these things seemed worth while. What is a destroyer more or less in the destiny of an empire? Why go to so much bother to save it?—New York World. INDIANS CHEATED OF LAND. Rev. Joseph Schell, Catholic Priest, Makes Serious Charges. Rev. Joseph Schell, the Catholic priest, who has been investigating frauds alleged to have been practiced upon the Winnebago Indians in Nebraska, took luncheon with President Roosevelt recently and told his story to the chief executive. Father Schell has recently been arrested on the P. charge of forgery, which action is al- leged to have been taken in revenge for the exposures he has made. Judge Tired of Listening. Even in the days when he was a struggling young lawyer Chauncey Depew was gifted with a considerable deal of the self-confidence which in later years came to be known of many men. One of the first cases he had in court involved a somewhat complicated question of inheritance. But Chauncey gayly tackled it and prepared what he regarded as an unanswerable argument. He had proceeded for some time when he noticed that the judge seemed to lose interest. Lawyer Depew hesitated and said: "I beg pardon, but I hope your honor follows me." The judge shifted in his chair as he replied: "I have so far but I'll say frankly that if I thought I could find my way back I'd quit right here." Pay Much Bounty on Porcupines. The governor and council of Maine are at the present time very busy preparing vouchers resulting from the enactment of the porcupine bounty law for presentation to the next legislature. This will be one of the first bills before the coming session, and will probably result in the immediate repeal of the act. At the last session an act was passed providing for an appropriation of $500 to be paid as a bounty on porcupines, twenty-five cents being paid on every animal killed. The returns to the state show that a total of 60,000 porcupines have been killed in the year of 1903, and the appropriation has been exceeded by $14,500 GUARANTEED MINING INVESTMENTS.

The English housewives, they of the fine complexions and strong muscles, make it a practice to stand big pots of potpourri in the halls, and each day they stir them from the bottom. A Japanese jar which stood shoulder high, so high that it a long walking stick to stir it to the bottom, stands in the hall of a handsome house on the Thames, and each day the owner stirs it to its depths and sends its fragrance through the house. Every houseper person know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for a laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery ties to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starches has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking.

The Beginning of "Contraband" During the war between Spain and Holland those powers acted with so much rigor toward ships of every nationality conveying goods to the belligerents that England felt bound to protest. The resistance provoked by England led to the first use of the term contraband of war when the treaty of Southampton was drawn up between this country and Spain in 1625.-London Answers. Occupied Queer Pulpit. A curious pupit was that used by Bishop Bickersteth, who once occupied the lantern-space of a lighthouse in which to deliver a short address to a small gathering of visitors and the lighthouse men themselves. On another occasion the saintly old man preached in the operating theater of a hospital to a congregation of patients. King Solomon's Gold. The evidences that Rhodesia was the country from which King Solomon's gold was obtained are said to be accumulating. The builders of the more ancient portion of the massive and extensive ruins recently explored at Great Zimbabwe are believed to have lived about 100 B. C., and to have belonged to a race who were the gold purveyors of the world. Music Halls the Ead. Parls, like London, is deserting the theaters for the music halls. The theaters are too expensive, the runs of plays too long: the "star" system tends to make the program a one-person affair, and, in brief, the theaters bore the people—the music halls amuse them. Explosives in Cabbage. In these days of chemical manures, we often consume a lot of explosive when we eat a cabbage. Ground, the nature of which requires it to be fertilized with nitrate of potash, yields some of this up to the plant in the course of growth, and so it reaches the interior of the body. Clothes Washed Without Soap. Clothes washed without soap. Clothes washing by electricity, without soap, is the idea of a Hungarian.

Roosevelt will continue to do business at the old stand. Rooseveltism suits the people of the United States. Texas would have gone Republican too, if the President had dined with another Negro. Next Thursday has been set apart as the day of Thanksgiving. We have much indeed to be thankful for, so let us observe. According to the way the electoral vote of Missouri was cast, the casual observer thinks that the women must have voted. Let us quit kicking at the man or woman who is trying to do something, and do something yourself and you won't have time to kick. Any of the following party men would make good senatorial timber: Col. R. C. Kerens, Major Warner, C. P. Walbridge, Gardiner Lathrop and Chairman Neidringhaus. Of course the people of the state of Missouri are rejoicing over the signal and unusual victory achieved last Tuesday. But had the victory been more complete the rejoicing would have been more intense. If the Filipinos think they would enjoy liberty under a Democratic administration they are very much mistaken. Let some of the brown people come to the United States and travel through the South and they would be consigned to Jim Crow cars and subjected to all sorts of unjust discriminations. The battle is over and victory is ours. The colored boys helped to bring it about and they desire to share the spoils. If they cannot get the plums they will come in for the leavings. Now the colored boys are in good humor, and it is in the power of the Republican organization to keep them in that mood. It may be true, as the New York World says, that the sweeping Democratic defeat was due in part to the foolish attempt to make an issue of the Booker Washington dinner; but is due in greater part to the wicked attempt of the World and Judge Parker to blacken the character of the President of the United States. IT STRAIGHTENED HER HAIR. Dear Sirs: I inclose fifty cents for one bottle of Oxonized Ox Marrow.

A woman in Oakland, Cal., got a divorce because, at every full moon, her husband would sit up in bed and howl, occasionally beating her and pulling her hair for a change. Preservation of Hen Manure. It has been a fact of common knowledge for a long time that, as ordinarily stored, hen dung losses a large part of its nitrogen. Because of the small number of hens kept by most farmers, little attention has been given to means of preventing these losses. The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station has made a careful study of the effects of chemicals upon the loss of nitrogen, and reached the following conclusions. By itself, hen dung is a one-sided nitrogenous fertilizer. As usually managed, one half or more of its nitrogen is lost, so that as ordinarily used it does not carry so great an excess of nitrogen. Because of its excess of nitrogen it will be much more economically used in connection with manures carrying phosphoric acid and potash. As both acid phosphate and kainit prevent the loss of nitrogen, it is possible to use them in connection with sawdust or some other dry material as an absorbent so as to make a well-balanced fertilizer. For example, a mixture of 30 pounds of hen manure, 10 pounds of sawdust or dry loam, 16 pounds of acid phosphate, and eight pounds of kainit would carry about 1.25 per cent nitrogen, 4.5 per cent phosphoric acid, and 2 per cent potash, which, used at the rate of 2 tones per acre, would furnish 50 pounds nitrogen, 185 phosphoric acid and 80 pounds potash. NEGRO GIRLS ARE BARRED. Not Admitted to the Industrial Home at Chillicothe. To the Son: Your columns of yesterday told of the arrest of three negro girls, 10, 11 and 12 years of age respectively, on the charge of stealing money and other valuables from a number of houses they were allowed to enter under various pretexts. If precedents established in our state is followed, they are too young to be sent to jail, and the question arises, What shall we do with them? There is an institution, established and controlled by the state, at Chillicothe, known as the Industrial Home for Wayward and Incorrigible Girls for just such cases as those referred to here, but which refuse absolutely to receive negro girls now, although the writer remembers well that no such discrimination was made the first few years of its existence. Why are negro girls refused admission to that institution now? The Anglo-Saxon does not relish the spectacle of even negro girls of such tender years incarcerated among suen ened criminals in gloomy prisons, and yet the question is asked. Are these little pests to be turned loose to prey upon the public at will? The negroes of this state have urged both the governor and the legislature by petition and in person to erect a modest building upon these grounds at Camicothe for the detention of wayward and incorrigible negro girls, such as herein described, but our efforts have been in vain. NELSON CREWS. Milking Machines. Of the various makes of milking machines that are being sold on the market the Thistle seems to stand at the head, though it has few friends in the United States. We hear from it however from time to time in England, Germany and Australia. In those countries it is being tested quite extensively, with varying results so far as making itself friends and enemies. In recent tests in Germany it has been used continually for a year or two but the cows where it is used are not kept for milking purposes beyond a year and a half. Then they are sold to the butchers and new cows purchased. It has been asserted that the milking machines dry up the cows and reduce the length of the milking period. With cows that are only to be milked to the end of one milking period it is impossible to ascertain the truth of this. A few cows purchased would not allow themselves to be milked by the machine. Some of the hard-milking cows had to be stripped by hand after the machine had done what it could, but the easy-milking cows were milked clean by it. It seems to be evident that if we are to have milking machines we will have to develop a special class of cows with teats of a certain conformation and with milk ducts that easily and quickly give down the milk. Knows a Lot, but Not Everything. The following advertisement appeared in a recent issue of the London. Post: "I do not know everything, but I will undertake anything, anywhere, any time. I know America from pork yards to the hub of culture, Australia from Kauri to Bottletree, the continent taught me French, German and other things, familiar with all stocks, deeds and lawyers' genial ways, can draw and plan to scale, reviewers say I can write, 35 and tough." Debts No Source of Worry. Ettienne Dumont said of Mirabeau that he never thought of paying his debts except the most pressing ones, and that probably it was not expected that he should do so.

Julep is of very ancient origin, reviving visions of the great Haroun al Raschid, who quilted from his golden bowl a distillation of gul—as, i. e. gul, a rose—ab, from a distillation of rose water which, after its transition through Latin countries is met again in France as juleppe; then later, deprived of its double p and e by the Saxon, ever impatient of unnecessary luggage, it becomes plain julep, a concoction of brandy and water flavored with pungent herbs. Although mint julep has become peculiarly an American patronymic, it must have come from England. Some twenty-five years ago an Englishman near a Western city in whose nostrils lingered the memory of mint and julep, sent back to the garden of his boyhood for roots from his old mint bed in Essex, and soon had its rival flourishing about his cistern where by family law it received all the refuse water from libations for thirsty drinkers. The reminiscences inspired by this exotic combined with good old Kentucky bourbon or rye were hardly eclipsed by the mint julep of Virginia's Sambo. TWO SAMPLES OF PRAYER. Appeal for Needed Assistance and a Petition in Person. At a prayer meeting in Mississippi during the civil war, a brother offered this prayer: "O Lord, we thank Thee for all Thy boundless goodness; for this rich and beautiful land of ours; for our brave women and valiant men. We think Thee that we are fully able to take care of ourselves on land; but, O Lord, we do most humbly implore They assistance when the yankees send those infernal gunboats to destroy us." A prominent southern lawyer who had just repented of his wild ways and joined the church was called upon in a religious meeting to pray. He started off very well, but did not know how to stop. After asking the Divine blessing on everything he could think of, he finally, with a determined effort, ended with these words: "Yours truly, P. Q. Mason."—Harper's Week- Nature's Defense. How are children so often able without injury to swallow such sharp things as pins, needles, tacks and bits of glass? The secret, as disclosed by Dr. Albert Exner of Vienna, lies in the fact that, when a pointed or sharpened body comes in contact with the lining of the stomach or intestines, the part touched contracts and puckers so as to thicken itself in that place. At the same time it withdraws itself in such a manner as to form a little pocket and gradually twists the object around so as to turn the edge or point away, pushing the thing along. Effective Rat Trap. "There were a lot of rats in the storage room of my stable." writes a citizen of Johannesberg, South Africa, "and we had great difficulty in getting at them. They were shy of all traps, and did a tremendous lot of damage at night, lying quiet all day. At length I put in the room a square tinned box, about two feet deep, and in it placed some burned cheese. The rats immediately got interested in the cheese, climbed up the outside of the box, and, having got inside, could not ascend the slippery tin lining. In this way we killed a great many."

Beer Drinking in India. The natives of India take more and more to beer. Formerly the consumption was very small; there are now, however, many large' breweries, and last year their combined production aggregated nearly 9,000,000 gallons. It is said that about 40 per cent. of this production is consumed by the army. Most of the breweries are in the Himalaya mountain districts, on the railroad line between the stations of Murree and Darlingel. Cure for Car Evil. It is benevolently suggested by the Car that the trouble caused by boys who climb upon the seating accommodation of slow-going motor cars in crowded thoroughfares might be effectively removed by a high-tension wire, controlled by the driver.

The death of Mrs. Charles Richardson was sad to her many friends. Mr. Frederick Spencer will leave next week for a six week's stay in New York. Mrs. Stella Colwell returned Friday from Leavenworth, Kan., where she will reside at the home of Mrs. Henry Compton. Ripe Olives. Many people say they don't like the taste of olives. On inquiry it will often be found that they have never tasted a thoroughly ripe California olive. They are a valuable article of food and should be more freely used. Youngater's Real Grievance. A curly-haired chap, aged 5, confided to some visitors in an aggrieved tone: "It's enough to drive a man crazy to have his mamma get up in the middle of the night and spank him 'cause he wants to talk." Dishonesty of Servant Taught Wellington a Lesson. Even the "iron" duke of Wellington had his difficulties with the servant question. Chaplain George R. Gleig wrote of the great soldier: "As to his table, it was in every respect such as became his position. His wines were excellent, though his cellars contained but a scanty supply at any given time. The oldest could not have been more than a couple of months in his possession. Of his reasons for thus acting he made no secret. 'At one time,' he said, 'I used to do as others do—gave my orders to the house steward and handed him the money to pay the bills as he presented them to me. This went on for a year or more, when to my surprise and disgust I got letters from tradesmen humbly begging that I would settle their accounts, which had been long standing. I found on inquiry that the fellow had been gambling with my money, leaving my creditors unpaid. From that day to this I have made it a point to pay my own bills, and to keep my accounts with tradesmen as short as possible.'" ACCOUNTED FOR THE GULLS. Artist's Explanation Easily Sufficed for Simple-Minded King. George Chambers, an artist, was once commissioned by King William IV. of England to paint a picture of the attack on a fortress on the Spanish coast by a frigate commanded by his majesty, who was then the duke of Clarence. The attack took place at night. Chambers completed a beautiful picture from some rough sketches that were in the king's possession, and when submitted for approval his majesty was delighted with it, but Chambers had taken an artist's liberty with the picture and for the purpose of relieving the somber veil of night had introduced some sea gulls skimming the waves. "Hallo, hallo, Chambers!" said his majesty. "This will never do to have the birds flying about at night. They were all gone to roost." "So they were, your majesty," replied Chambers, "but you gave such a rousing broadside with your guns that they all woke up and flew about." "Ah, so I did; so I did, Chambers. I forgot that. Very good! Very good!" Latin Alphabet. Our alphabet is derived from the primitive alphabet of Italy, which belonged to the Western Greek type. As early probably as the ninth century B. C. it was carried by the Chalcidians of Euboea, an island of Greece, to Cumae, near Naples, Italy. It became the parent of five local Italic alphabets—the Oscan, the Etruscan, the Umbrian, the Fallascan and the Latin. Owing to the political supremacy of Rome the Latin ultimately displaced the other national scripts of Italy, and became the alphabet of the Roman empire, and afterwards of Latin Christendom, thus spreading over Western Europe, America and Australia until it became the dominant alphabet of the world. Relic of War of 1711. At Pointe Les Monts, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is a lighthouse, the keeper of which recently turned out of the sand an old-style sword bearing on its blade the date "1711." It is undoubtedly a relic of the ill-fated expedition of Admiral Walker, who left England in 1711 with 11,000 men and a large fleet to take Quebec and Montreal. When he got off Seven Islands he was overtaken by a dense fog and a great storm arose. He refused to take the advice of a French pilot and as a result the British ships were dashed to pieces on the rocks off Egg Island and next spring 900 bodies were lying there. Red-Haired People Sought Students of red-hairiology say that a woman adorned with bright red tresses is brighter, more deceptive and more ambitious than a woman having other colored hair. Whatever truth there may be in this, it is a fact that red-haired women have a strange fascination for most men, and red-headed old maids are almost unknown. Red-haired men are equally in demand in the matrimonial market, for they are said to make the most devoted of husbands. Hence the reason of a club of girls in Dresden, members of which pledge themselves to die old maids rather than marry any but young men with red hair. Patria. I would not even ask my heart to say If I could love another land as well As thee, my country, had I felt the spell, Of it by birth, or learned to obey The charm of France, or England's mighty away; I would not be so much an infidel As once to dream, or fashion words to As I What land could hold my love from thee away. For like a law of nature in my blood I felt thy sweet and secret sovereignty. And like a birthmark on my soul thy sign. My heart but a wave, and thou the flood; My a leaf, and thou the mother tree; Nor should I be at all, were I not thine. —Henry Van Dyke in Collier's. Queer Funerals of Korea. The Koreans have a curious dread of the spirits of their ancestors and of demons, which leads to all kinds of precautions and propitiations. Most elaborate and expensive graves are made for the dead, generally on a terrace scooped out of a hillside, with a mound and railings, a grove of trees, and a shrine with an avenue of strange carved stone figures of men and beasts. The amount of land kept out of cultivation by these burial places is said to be almost incredible. THE OLD FOLKS AND ORPHANS' HOME. Among those who thought of the Home and its inmates at Thanksgiving was Mr. R. E. L. Bailey of the city treasurers' office. He circulated a subscription paper among the clerks and secured a donation of $6.50 to be used to supply necessities. It is needless to say that this donation was as acceptable as it was unexpected. While the members of the board were holding a meeting at the Home last Friday afternoon, Rev. S. W. Scott of the Summit Street Christian church, accompanied by a number of the members of the Woman's Board of Missions, of the 21st and Summit Christian church, suddenly made their appearance. After a short speech by the president, Mrs. Belle Pierce, and the secretary, Mrs. Anna Lewis, they presented a goodly supply of fruit, vegetables, sugar, etc. Then Rev. Mr. Scott held a short service of prayer and offered much encouragement to the little force that has struggled so hard to maintain a refuge for the unfortunate. Some weeks ago a large donation of underclothing, house jackets and various other useful articles was sent to the Home by Mrs. Frank Smith and Miss Nellie Behme of 1224 Vine street. This came through the kindness of Mrs. R. T. Coles. The Thanksgiving donations from the schools were greater by far this year than they have ever been. A fall acknowledgement will be made in the next issue of the Rising Son. Mr. W. F. Fairfax was kind enough to offer the home the privilege of having a table at the entertainment given at Turner Hall in honor of Williams and Walker. $10.80 was realized and Mr. Fairfax has the deepest gratitude the managers can offer. One of the features of the entertainment to be given by the ladies of St. Pancras Guild at Turner Hall December 29th, will be a doll contest. The following menu will also be served: Oyster soup, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake. Will begin serving at 6 o'clock p. m. Matter of Expense "When you first entered politics," said the young man who is looking for knowledge, "did you set out with the determination to win at any cost?" "No," answered Senator Sorghum, "I set out with the determination to win at as little expense as possible." —Washington Star.

Imitation opals at present never de- give. In the present day there are three kinds of opal known com- mercially—the Oriental opal, the fire opal, and the common opal. For a long time the world was indebted for its opals to Hungary, but to-day most of the opals come from Queensland and New South Wales. Plant Which Killa Hunger In Peru is found a singular plant capable of quelling hunger or thirst for several days. It is named erythroxylon cocoa. The plant appears to narcotize the nerves of the stomach and suspend the digestive functions without affording nutriment. Uliteracy Among Negroes. Illiteracy among negroes is about seven times as common as among whites, and this ratio between the races has not altered materially in the last ten years. Illiteracy among southern negroes is more than four times that among southern whites. Sea Lion Defeats Octopus. The keeper of the lighthouse near Grescent City, Cal., reports a battle between a sea lion and an octopus. The octopus wound its tentacles around the lion's body, but the lion bit off one of them after the other and ate them. Others then helped to dispose of the octopus' carcass. French Customs Officials. Nothing seems to escape the vigilance of the French customs administration. There appears to have sprung up a trade in foreign illustrated post cards which were sent blank in packets through the post as printed matter. The customs have now interdicted the transmission of the picture post cards, and require that they be sent as post parcels, which have to pass through the customs and pay duty as prints. The Biggest Fee. An expert stenographer informs me that the biggest fee known in the profession is $100,000, out of a celebrated piece of litigation in Pennsylvania some years ago that involved some $14,000,000. Some of the stenographers in the case were able to retire from business completely after the work was done.—Boston Herald. Opals. 1 AS LOW AS THEY CAN BE SOLD FOR. Furnished Rooms To Rent.

Watch's Variation As to the sympathetic vagaries of watches, a correspondent writes: "I discovered some years ago that it was the metal buckle of my braces that caused the irregularities of my own particular watch. I therefore now make a rule of putting my spectacle case on the inside of my watch pocket, thus, cutting off the connections."—London Chronicle. Lineman Saves Lives. When a gasoline launch began to sink in the Russian river, California, and two men were in danger of drowning, Robert Jordan, a telephone lineman at work on the banks, swam out with a wire to the launch and a companion hauled the endangered men to shore. Cigarettes at Course Dinner. It is sometimes the custom in Russia for each lady at a big dinner to smoke a tiny cigarette between each course. This is supposed to assist digestion, besides removing the flavor of the previous course from the palate. Doctors Often Great Schemers A woman thinks a doctor shows mighty poor judgment in wanting to look at her tongue when she could be using it to tell him all about her symptoms. Had His Approval. Senator Hoar hated Benjamin Butler—he was the one man that Hoar could not abide—and his son inherited the feeling, as witness this remark made when asked if he were going to attend Butler's funeral: "No, I am not going; but I approve of it."

But her prosy profession left her plenty of time to dream of a larger and brighter future, and she erected some very stately edifices in Spain. of the daw with borrowed plumes warned Aunt Josepha. "If this man is really a man of sense he will this as much of you in your cashme dress as if you wore the queen's dmonds." But Leo, believing that her aunt was hopelessly behind the age, persisted "For I don't want to drudge all my life so," said Leoline. "I am pretty enough," with a conscious laughing glance at the mirror, "and clever enough, I hope, to make my own future." "Yes, dear," said Aunt Josepha, who admired her niece exceedingly, "you are pretty enough, and I believe you are smart enough; but still I don't understand how you are going to do it." "You'll see," said Leoline, with a bright smile and a nod. And when Kitty Topplefield, who taught in the primary department of the same school, told Aunt Josey about Mr. Maurice, the new trustee, who was so handsome, and wore such superb diamond studs, and admired Leoline's method of imparting instruction so enthusiastically, she began to comprehend what her niece meant. "Leo," said she, when she had the rare chance of being alone with her niece, "do you like this Mr. Maurice?" The blood flushed into Leoline's face. "Of course I like him, Aunt Josey," said she. "Do you love him?" "I don't know whether I might or not," said Leo, coloring still deeper. "That is, if I knew him better. He is a society man, and I have so few opportunities! If I was only in a fashionable circle like George Fitzalan!" Now, Miss Georgie Fitzalan was a pretty, dashing young lady, the daughter of a rich importing merchant, who had been in the same class as Leoline Harper at school, and Leoline had always secretly envied her luxurious, butterfly sort of life that seemed to have so few of the elements of shadow about it. "And," added Looline, "he is to be at Georgie's birthday party, and Georgie has asked me to come—and—and I can't, because I haven't anything fit to wear. And I do believe, Aunt Josey, if I could only go"—"Yes, yes, I understand, my dear," said Aunt Josey, regretfully. But, really, I do not see how you can go." "Nor I, either," said Leo, gulping down a little suffocating lump that somehow would keep rising in her throat. "So I must just be contented to give it up." But half an hour afterward she came to her aunt with depressed color and eager, shining eyes, the newspaper in her hands. "Look, Aunt Josey!" cried she. "La, child," said the old lady, "you know I can't see a thing without my spectacles." "Then I'll read it to you"; and Leo-line read as follows: "For sale, at a bargain, two silk "evening dresses, one a blue and the other canary color; worn only once by a lady just returned from Europe. THE WOMEN'S WORLD "I—I don't know whether I might or not." Price, twenty-five dollars each. Apply to H. C., No. — Rotherward street. "What do you think of that, sunny? Blue is just my color. And silk, too! Why. I never had a real silk in my life!" "I don't like the idea of second-hand finery," said Aunt Josepha, shaking her head. "But when you can't afford anything else," pleaded Leoline. "Oh, Aunt Josey, I do so want to go!" "My dear, remember the old fable "Do you love him?" old to gray; swiftly files, wild and gray; blight dies away; tooll is oer, to spin, Father's door, within in heavenly light, see how dark the bright— to be! ALL DRESS POSE POINT GERRY of the daw with borrowed plumes," warned Aunt Josepha. "If this man is really a man of sense he will think as much of you in your cashmere dress as if you wore the queen's diamonds." But Leo, believing that her aunt was hopelessly behind the age, persisted. The house was a magnificent brown stone establishment whose splendor rather abashed our little school teacher. "H. C." proved to be Mile. Hor A "May I ask, Miss Harper, if you order your dresses from Worth?" tense Chenier, the lady's maid, who occupied an airy fourth-story apartment, to which the visitor was conducted by a grumbling footman. Leoil felt altogether out of her element, and almost sorry that she had come; but when she saw the superb silks, scarcely worn, her heart leaped within her. The blue one was trimmed with deep, pointed white Spanish zlond, and proved to be the exact color to match Leo's bright beauty. "Madame bestows these upon us," said Hortense, grimacing and twisting herself after the manner of French maids. "Madame is all goodness." Leo bought the dress and it was sent home that night. "Yes, it is very pretty; but all the same I don't like you to wear a second-hand dress." said her aunt. "A great many ladies do the same thing, Aunt Jo." "A great many ladies do a silly thing, then," retorted the old lady. But, notwithstanding Aunt Jo's disapproval, Leo felt very proud and happy when she went off that evening dressed in the blue silk, which had required very little alteration to nt her supple figure. Miss Fitzalan's parlors were full, and Leo's heart beat high with antipathy triumph as she saw Mr. Maurice among the crowd. The next moment she perceived that he was not alone. A tall and beautiful young lady leaned on his arm. With a pang of jealousy Leo would fain have shrunk away, but Mr. Maurice advanced to ward her. "Miss Harper, allow me to present to you my wife; Mrs. Maurice, Miss Harper. Oh. I see you're surprised. So am I. She only arrived from Europe four days ago"; this with a smile. Leo tried to mutter a few congratulatory words, but could hardly make herself audible. Mrs. Maurice put up her eyeglasses. "How very strange!" she cried. "My blue silk dress that I had made at Worth's. I should know the trimming anywhere. May I ask, Miss Harper, if you order your dresses from Worth?" Leo turned scarlet, but she clung bravely to the anchor of truth. "No," she said, blushing with mortification; "I am only a school teacher, and can afford no such extravagance as that. I bought it second-hand of Mile, Hortense Chenier, No. — Rotherward street." "My maid," cried Mrs. Maurice. "And she stole it from me—all the time pretending that the packing case that contained it was lost on the voyage, the hypocritical thing." Mr. Maurice laughed. "That comes from your foreign French maids," said he. Leoline Harper felt her face glow with burning scarlet. "I—I am very sorry. I hope you do not consider it my fault," she said. "Oh, not at all; perhaps I shouldn't have spoken of it, but you see, I was so taken by surprise. Pray wear the dress; it is so charmingly becoming to you," said the lady. Leo did not stay long. She felt as if every one in the room must know that she was wearing a second-hand dress, stolen from its owner! And the fact, now for the first time ascertained, that Mr. Maurice was a married man seemed to take all the sparkle out of her life. She went home early and cried herself to sleep. The next morning she sent back the dress to Mrs. Maurice with a note of apology, and she has been a wiser girl ever since. "If my fortune comes to me, well and good," she said, "but I shall not go a step out of my way to seek it."—Chicago Journal. How Boys Botanized Teacher's Hat. Miss Johnson was an excellent teacher, but her taste in dress, especially headdress, was so peculiar that even her adoring pupils could not fall to notice it. The verdure which appeared upon Miss Johnson's hat one season was so gaudy that several wondering comments were made by the boys. "I'm going to ask her what that green stuff is," said one boy, valiantly, in spite of the vigorous objections of his companions. "She won't mind, and next nature study class I'm going to ask her, and see who's right." So, red in the face, but stubborn, he rose at the end of a lesson on wayside flowers, in response to Miss Johnson's general request for any questions which might have come up since the last lesson. "I'd like to know about that green stuff on your hat," he said, bluntly. "John Aken, he says it's beach grass, but I say it's onion sprouts."—Youth's Companion. Glamour. I have read so long in the Book of the Brave. I hear the tramp of their feet In the quiet village street. I catch the sound of an echoing cheer, Brown dome the night wind, faintly clear, And the drums' unfaltering beat. I have read so long in the Book of the Brave. Their flugs go streaming by. Sharp comes the scriery's cry; The shaded light of my study lamp Seems a low glimmer from some still camp Where the sleeping soldiers lie. I have read so long in the Book of the Brave. Lulu Whedon Mitchell in the Century. Star-Dust. Mr. Pettus, the "Nestor" of the Senate, is fond of telling stories of darky humor, and among the best he relates is the following: "There's an odd little negro of eight years living in Alabama who is given to the putting of funny questions to his parents. One night he suddenly awakened from a sound sleep. Turning to his father, who chanced to be awake, the little fellow asked: "Is it night, pappy? "Yes, my chile,' responded the father, kindly; 'look auter de winder and yo' will see de stars. Better go to sleep ag'in, honey, it's twelve o'clock." "The little darky gazed reflectively through the window. Twelve o'clock, pappy? Den de stars is changin' from yesterday to termorror, ain't dey?" "— Lippincott's. In Search of Work. "Well, sir," said the railway superintendent to a forlofn-looking man who had gained admittance to his presence, "what do you want?" "I would like a situation on your line." "No place for you, I think." "But there is. I want to be inter preter." "Interpreter?" "Yes, sir; to tell the passenger, what the porters say when they call out the names of the stations." The superintendent studied a few minutes, and then, looking up, pointed to the door.—Birmingham (England Weekly Post. New Kind of Giant. "Manny" Friend approached his old friend Lew Dockstader at the Herald Square theater a few nights ago with a request for an engagement with the show. "Why, what use could I possibly have for you?" asked the minstrel. "Advertise me as your newly acquired giant," said the lawyer. Lew laughed upoariously. "Why, Manny," he exclaimed, "you're only two feet and a half tall. What kind of a giant would you make?" "The smallest giant in the world," averred the diminutive Friend. "That'll be a brand-new line, too, for the three sheets."—New York Times. Evidence of Insanity When it came to the cross-examination the witness who had testified that he believed the prisoner demented settled himself in anticipation of possible trouble. "Have you any reason for wishing to send my client to a madhouse?" asked the lawyer. "None," replied the witness. "Well, what particular thing has he done that has tended to convince you that he isn't in his right mind?" "Well," said the witness slowly, "look at the fool he made of himself in selecting a lawyer." Home Rule in Scotland With reference to the growing Scottish demand for home rule for Scotland, the London News remarks: "Having already acquired, by lapse of time, the prescriptive right to manage English affairs for Englishmen, it may be that Scots, young and otherwise, will find their hands almost too full if they begin meddling with their own as well." FOIBLES OF FASHION Lingerie Blouses. Lingerie blouses are to be worn the winter through with tailored coats and skirts. They are really indispensable, for they are thin, taking up no room, and when mussed water and a hot iron restore them to an immaculate condition. They are, however, as expensive as the more elaborate silk and crepe bodices, as a greater number of them are required; but they are always fresh and spotless, and thus delight the dainty woman. In cut they are almost facsimiles of those worn during the summer, save that heavier laces are used, cluny, gulpure and the lately revived crepon being favorites. These laces are used as insertion rather than in appliques, and in many of these blouses the lace is also elaborately embroidered in floral designs in plumetts stitch. One such blouse has its crepon lace embroidered across the front in chrysanthemums. WHILE THE TEA DREWS Gardenias are the chosen flowers for the trim little beaver hat. Short crepes of wonderful color and sheen are an innovation. Bracelets are fashionable again, the chain and bangle styles prevailing. Little girls are wearing dainty white ruffled aprons again over their school frocks. Such a pretty crepe de chine blouse is applied with pink velvet poppies and green buds. Sables are particularly good with the brown tones so much affected in this winter's dress. Given some chiffon and ribbons, and a simple frock may be made to blossom like a rose garden. The new capes may not be trim looking, but one can't store two yards of dress material inside a little coat sleeve. A wreath of gorgeous chrysanthemums in copper and yellow tones finishes the beaver hat with a copper broadcloth. A dainty dressing gown is a necessity for a woman of taste; it may be quite charming and elegant without losing its useful character. There was a time when there was little choice between the frivolous peignoir and the uncompromisingly hideous or gaudy striped garment, but in these days of beautiful and inexpensive fabrics there is no excuse for anyone to wear unbecoming colors. "Something serviceable" means to many people chiefly an absence of color. A deep, rich shade, however, looks clean and fresh much longer than a nondescript or dingy hue. The prevailing color of the bedroom should be taken into consideration when choosing a dressing gown. It is no more trouble to choose the right shade and secure a harmony in your room. A simple gown of fine serge or amazon cloth, with a border of galloon, is pretty and is very easily made. Neck Chains Galore. This is the day of old jewelry. Even with the severest tailored gowns, strings of turquoise, pearl, jade, coral or colored glass beads are worn. One pays as high as $5 for a string of glass beads. These are supposed to be Venetian, but most of them are made in Providence, R. L., and other American cities. There is a green bead turned out in a Providence factory which rivals jade for translucence and tender coloring. Pink coral and white coral are in high favor. Brilliant Red and White. No color is more attractive for the negligees of Oriental suggestion than bright red. This smart and novel ```markdown ``` kimono shows the color in stripes on a ground of white wash flannel and is trimmed with bands of Persian silk, in which is much red, and worn with a plain red sash. The style of the garment is peculiarly desirable and becoming and the Empire suggestion suits present styles to a nicety. To make it for a woman of medium size will be required 8 yards of material 27, 7% yards 32 or 6 yards 44 inches wide, with 1½ yards of silk for bands and 3½ yards of ribbon for sash. Vella of the Moment. The newest veil is called the "Melba," and looks more like an exquisite lace flounce than a veil. It is deep and wide and circular, and made mostly of Chantilly lace, with its flat, silky mesh and graceful patterns. Some of them have the pattern of the edge repeated, in a smaller way, at the top of the flounce, just where it lies over the brim of the hat. Chiffon veils—some of them—have scalloped edges and are appliqued with small velvet daisies. But their charm is the way they pull up on a drawing string and tie snugly around or over the crown. Some of the prettiest automobile veils are double—a medium shade, with a lighter shade over it, and joined together at the top. Another double veil has the inner veil embroidered in large dots and shirred up to fit somewhat under the chin, while the outer veil flows free. A curious trick—it's new, too—is to have the vells made of changeable stuffs. The second color doesn't show definitely, but gives a little shimmering beauty note that is fascinating. For Daylight Wear: One point that pertains to all costumes for daylight wear is the notable absence of a train to the skirt. The very best makers are showing gowns in all of the expensive materials with the skirt full and bouffant, either to clear or barely touch the ground, just as the wearer prefers. With the new skirts that are anywhere from six to ten yards around the hem the problem of "how to hold up four sides of a skirt at once and only two hands do it with," as a clever old lady expressed it, was one that is simply solved by doing away with the necessity for holding up the skirt at all. Hood for Small Child. Fashions for the wee ones are as exaggerated and varied as those of their elders. In hoods there is an endless variety. An odd but pretty model is white faille, and it may be readily copied at home. One piece of silk makes the hood, and where it joins a back forms a decided point on ```markdown ``` top. A wide band of heavy lace, edged with a tiny ruffle of plaited silk, turns back from the face, and a deep cape of the material, bordered with narrow ruffle of silk, is attached to bottom of hood. Strings of white taffeta ribbon tie in bow under chin. Dutch Neck-Finishings. A great many shirtwaists and shirt-waist suits are made with the round or Dutch neck. The neck is finished with a cording or with a little frill or ruffle. This is shirred around the throat and the waist is trimmed to match. For day wear these necks are never low enough to show the throat, but the whole of the neck is exposed. The fastening is quite simple, consisting of a little pearl button at the back and the effect is charmingly girlish. For evening the neck can be a little rounder and slightly more inclined to reveal the lines of the throat and neck, but they should not by any means be low. With this style of neck the necklace, be it fur or feathers, or be it made of chiffon ruffles, is a necessity, and from the minute the first fall breezes blow it should be worn. The round neck in the street is only pretty in midsummer, not by any means in the fall and winter. The best finish is a little frill of lace or a narrow muslin ruffle, and if the gown be very nice the lace frill can be made of valenciennes lace or of any other fashionable lace, but the finish must be simple. Wraps and Hats. In wraps the cape is far and away the favorite. Many and various are the modes and models in these, from the military cape, such as Uncle Sam's officers carry, to the draped shawl production that is lined with quilted and padded satin and covered with costly lace. The cape slips on so easily over the shoulders and rests so tenderly on the filimest anduffiest of sleeves, that the smart girl has already elected it as her favorite wrap for all occasions. Hats and wraps, too, absorb an appreciable amount of fashionable attention, for over here we have not altogether taken up the English fashion of dispensing with a hat for even- ing wear. White is again the favorite for hats, but the dominant note of color is introduced in the ostrich plumes which often form the sole trimming. Pleasing Styles in Coats. The short basque coats and coats of moderate hip length will be found more generally becoming than the redingotes, and while not so new, are quite as fashionable. The short basque coats are, of course, fitted snugly at the waist and often belted or girdled; but though the general tendency is toward the coat fitted closely at back and sides if not in front, the sack coat has not disappeared and loosely falling coat models are numerous. With the Housewife Putting ground coffee to steep in cold water the night before will be found to result in economy and richness of flavor for the breakfast beverage. Enough coffee should be used to allow one tablespoonful for every cup and an extra one for the pot. Sugar should be bought in small quantities as it dies and loses flavor if kept; raisins, currants and candied peel will not keep long. Vinegar room loses its flavor if kept, and so does Lucca oil. Macaroni will not keep, and spice, pepper and roasted coffee, too soon deteriorate. Candles burn better and more slowly if they have been stored in a dry place six or seven weeks before being used. Soap will go twice as far it well dried. It should be cut into small blocks and these arranged in tiers with spaces between to allow them to dry. Hoopskirts Coming. Walking skirts will remain short and full. There are those who hint at a lining of buckram in the hem, to be succeeded by whalebone, with possibly steel as a last resource. Between a steel-stiffened skirt and a crinoline there is little difference. Full skirts will be worn also in those gowns that are intended for smart occasions, although the pleats and gathers will be more simply arranged than hitherto, while flouces and frills will be fewer in number. In many cases, where soft fabrics like crepe de chine, velours and moussine are being used, the skirts will be allowed to fall in long, straight folds from waist to feet, the bodices being also very simply but picturesquely arranged with full folds coming from the shoulders and crossing in front under a deep waist belt of soft silk or satin ribbon. Pretty Fancy in Blouses. New blouses in Paris are made of alternate rows of ribbon and Russian lace. The ribbon used is only half the width of the lace employed, the latter being of mixed colorings. These are worn with skirts, the color of which matches the ribbon or the lace, and are worn over fitting silk underbodles or corset covers without yokes or sleeves. Charming New Collar. Here's the dearest little new collar just out—meant for a light silk blouse. It's not more than two or three inches deep and fits just around the turn of the throat. But the way it's made refuses to be set down in cold black and white letters. It is frills and fluff and tiny hints of roses and bits of the sheerest laces joined together like fairy work. Ladies' Waist Ivory white crepe de chine was used to develop this attractive waist, with cuffs and collar of ercue lace. It is made over a fitted lining, and the closing is in the back. A deep-point 1 ed yoke that extends over the sleeve in drop-shoulder effect is a pleasing feature, and may be of all-over lace if desired. The sleeves are gathered to form two puffs, and are finished by deep cuff of the lace. Pale green louisine would be pretty, and taffeta, lansdowne and volle would all be suitable to the making. The medium size requires three and seven-eighths yards of thirty-ax inch material. It penetrates to the seat of torture as no other external remedy has been known to do and thousands certify to cures. Price 25c. and 50c. BREAKS THE RECORD ▲ TWENTIETH GENTURY FLYER IN THE MEDICAL FIELD. Rheumatism Rapidly and Radically Cured. Quick Work of a Famous Remedy. Convenience, comfort, safety, speed are demanded by the traveling public in our rapid century and the keenest intellects constantly at work on these problems are making wonderful progress in the construction of the steamship and the locomotive. Like results are sought in medicines and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are astonishing the world by the triumphs they are winning in the rapid cure of obstinate maladies, such as rheumatism. With speed they combine convenience, perfect safety and cheapness. Here is fresh proof of their concentrated virtues: Mrs. Margaret Gantz, of No. 1527 Bodeman street, Burlington, Iowa, is an industrious German woman, who about two and a half years ago found herself in danger of losing her power to work altogether. She says: "I got rheumatism which made my knees and elbows very stiff and painful. I had difficulty in raising my arms and I could hardly lift my feet over my doorstep. I ought to have gone to bed, but I couldn't afford to do that, so I forced myself to work in spite of the pain and stiffness. After suffering for about six months, I was told about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People by a friend, who said she had been cured by them. On her advice, I bought one box and in two weeks after I began to use them I was well and I had no need to use them now for nearly two years. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a good medicine and if I ever have rheumatism again I will get a box right away. I have told many friends what they did for me and I am glad to have everybody know." This is valuable news to all who suffer from rheumatism. These pills have also cured stubborn cases of locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache, palpitation of the heart and all forms of weakness in male or female. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y., on receipt of the price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and a half. Look for the full name on every box. Despoil Italian Churches. "The alleged exportation of Italian works of art to the United States," says the Pall Mall Gazette, "seems to proceed gaily, in spite of all protests and schemes for prevention. Thus two Florentine churches have lately been 'believed' of works by Della Robbia amounting in value to 600,000 francs—the goods being shipped as 'pork.' The chief delinquent in this fraud, a dealer from Prato, has escaped to the States." How to Test a Diamond. To test a diamond rub vigorously with a bit of silk for a moment, and the stone, if a diamond, will attract bits of wool, cotton or paper. Expose the stone to the direct rays of the sun for a few moments and remove to a darkened room. If it is a diamond it will glow. An limitation diamond shows a number of images when one looks through it. The diamond shows but one. Employ Fewer Servants There has been a considerable decrease in the number of domestic servants in Paris since the law was passed taxing families in an increasing ratio in proportion to their number of servants. Much of the work is now done by women or men who are hired by the day. Shipping $200 to $6,700 ore. Goldfield Rex Co. pounds 140 ounces, assay office, chemical labora- tors, and Nyman Navy shipments. Lansdorf Butter, Sec. 2, Mack bike, Denver, Colo. Could Not Be Bribed. A good story is told of A. C. MacLaren, a well-known cricket player. He was playing a pliic match "up country" in Australia when one of the batsmen skied a ball very high between the wickets. MacLaren was waiting for the catch, but the striker in running past cried, "Oh, Archie, drop it, do, and I'll allow you to kiss my sister." MacLaren, it is added, was proof against the attempted bribery. "Gry Down Credit." The colonel of a British regiment stationed at Portsmouth has revived the old custom of "crying down the credit of the regiment." The drums and flies marched to different parts of the town and the drum major, at each, read a proclamation warning tradesmen that men of the regiment could not be held responsible for debts over the value of one day's pay, say. 25 cents. Home for Aged Animals. A wealthy Frenchman receives in his park near Paris aged animals and birds. The oldest inmate is a mule of seventy-three, whose affectionate companion in retirement is a goose of thirty-seven. Among the other inmates is a cow, aged thirty-six, a hog of twenty-seven, a bullfish which has reached the ripe age of twenty-eight, and a sparrow that stepped from the egg in 1869. Rapt in His Art. Musician—I tell you, ladies, we artists cannot succeed unless we give up our very souls to our art. Why, last week I was so rapt in a composition that I was playing, that a thief stole the violin from under my chin and I never noticed it. It is all right for a bachelor to wear whiskers, if he wants to, but for any married man to ask his wife to room with long, unclean whiskers, particularly in warm weather, is ground for divorce.

He Knew Where it Was. Capt. White, of the Albatross, a ves sel carrying carcounuts into the port of New York, tells a funny story of an Irish cook who one day approaches him on the bridge and asked if a thiml was lost when you know where it is. The captain turning to the cook, said "Why, no, why do you ask?" The cook, replying, said? "Well, captain the saucepan fell overboard this morning, and I know it's in Davy Jones' locker."

There had been a number of burglaries in the neighborhood, and the young electrician thought it would be a great thing for him if he could catch the thieves. "Late to night when you come in," he said to his father, "you must leave your key in the door. That will be the bait." The old gentleman nodded. "I will have a wire strung so that the key may be charged with electricity," the young electrician went on. "That will be the hook." The old gentleman rubbed his hands and nodded again. "Between the bait and the hook we will land some of these prowlers tonight," the young electrician asserted. That night the old gentleman went to his club. The young electrician strung his wire and waited. The policeman on the beat stopped at the basement entrance just to "get a bite" and see that no one had run away with the cook. The young electrician became tired waiting and began experimenting with his wire and the battery. The old gentleman came from the club in a cab a little before midnight. The cabman had "been there before," and he solicitedly inquired if he should find the keyhole for the old gentleman. The old gentleman thought it would be a good plan. As the cabman turned a back somersault over the railing of the front porch he kicked the old gentleman in the stomach and knocked him down the steps. He also gave a yell that could be heard eight blocks and landed on the neck of the policeman, who was just backing away from the basement door with a piece of pie in his mouth. It spoiled the pie. And the old gentleman was arrested and fined for assaulting an officer who was engaged in the discharge of his duty. The burglaries are still busy.—New York Press. The Old Faith. "Thus saith the Lord; Stand ye in the ways and see, and look for the old paths, and walk the way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your soul." — Jeremiah vt. 16. As a man who is travel weary, as a man who is travel worn. Who carries anew the galling loads he over the road has borne. Who carries anew each burden when counting them over alone. While trudging his way through bog and fen and stumbling on brusling stone, As a man who is travel weary rememberes that they may have been a man goes back to the simple faith that was all his own one day. The simple faith he cherished; the faith in the grass run wild. The faith that held him in innocence with never a doubting "Why? — When valley and hill and forest and everything that is Was woodsonsly with a breathtaking truth of that truth was bier. When twilight and dawn were peaceful, and his were the dreaming stars— The faith that he held unconscionedly ere ever his soul had scars. As a man who is travel weary, he stands on a lonely height. He turns to the unfogotten, the years when he wrought no wrong And seeks for the faith that once was his - all the things that were before him, - N. N. in Chicago, Tribute. His Cordial Indorsement. One of the stories attributed to Bishop Potter concerns a young and inexperienced clergyman who had just been called to a city charge. At the end of the first month his salary was paid by a check, and he took it to the bank and passed it in at the paying teller's window. That official looked at it and then passed it back. "It's perfectly good," he said, "but I will have to ask you to indorse it." The young clergyman took his pen and wrote across the face of the check, "I respectfully subscribe to the sentiments herein expressed."—New York Times. How He Spelled It. A Brooklyn physician whose memory for names is very poor recently had a patient in his office for whom he was asked to fill out an application for some position. Not wishing to betray the fact that he had forgotten the man's name he casually inquired, as he poised his pen above the paper: "By the way, how do you spell your name?" The man gave him a curious glance and said: "JO N E S—Jones." Mendelssohn a Youthful Prodigy Mendelssohn used to conduct the concerts in his father's house when he was so little that he had to be mounted on a high stool to be visible to his orchestra. He played in public when he was 9, and at 11 composed a cantata and produced nearly sixty movements, songs, sonatas; trios for violin, violoncello and piano, and organ pieces. Tree Causes Headache. In the far East has recently been discovered a species of the acacia tree which is a wonder of plant life. It grows to a height of about eight feet and when full grown closes its leaves together in coils each day at sunset, and curls its twigs to the shape of pigtails. After the tree has settled itself thus for a night's sleep, if touched it will flutter as it agitated or impatient at being disturbed. The oftener the foliage is molested the more violent becomes the shaking of the branches, and at length the tree emits a nauseating odor, which, if inhaled for a few moments, causes a violent headache. Cousins Marry in Germany. Among the marriages recorded in Berlin last year there were 121 of blood-relations; 100 of these were marriages of cousins. Women Crators. Women speak best when they retain their seats at table; the very fact that they are standing and facing their audiences has a tendency to give the bravest of women stage fright, saws What to Eat. Women orators have the advantage over men in knowing that their attire will have much to do with keeping the attention of their audience. A pretty woman in a pretty gown, a fan, a muff, a jewel, will hold the eyes of the women listeners, even if they do not care much for the speech. A. Spider's Appetite. The spider has a tremendous appetite, and his gormandizing defies all human competition. A scientist, who carefully noted a spider's consumption of food in twenty-four hours, concluded that if the spider were built proportionately to the human scale he would eat at daybreak, approximately, a small alligator, by 7 a. m. a lamb, by 9 a. m. a calf, and by one o'clock a sheep, and would finish up with a lark pie in which there were 120 birds. Statistics as to Languages. There are 382,000,000 Chinese speaking the same language, making Chinese the most spoken language. There are many dialects, however, while seem scarcely to belong to the same tongue. The inhabitants of Mongolia and Thibet can barely understand the dialect of the people in Pekin. Other widely spoken languages are as follows, in millions: English, 120; German, 70; Russian, 68; Spanish, 41; Portuguese, 32. Female Labor In Mexico. The question of female labor is becoming a factor in the business life of the City of Mexico, as well as in some of the other large cities of Mexico. Only a few years ago this labor was almost unknown in offices and stores, but every year the number is becoming larger. The wages paid to the young women are not as yet very large, but the prospects are that as they become more efficient wages will rise. When a girl sings, every one is interested, thinking of the time when they can claim they heard the great prima donna as a beginner, but if she is a married woman, she hasn't enough future to make even her husband believe she has a voice. Piso's Cure is the best medicine we ever used for all affections of the throat and lungs - WM. O. ENSLEY, Vauxburen, Ind., Feb. 10, 1922. It is only occasionally you find a man who believes his daughter's voice or piano playing will make him rich; but when you do find him, you find he has it bad. Hundreds of dealers say the extra quantity and superior quality of Deifance Starch is fast taking place of all other brands. Others say they cannot sell any other starch. Some men are better satisfied with failure than others are with success. Don't you know that Deifance Starch besides being absolutely superior to any other, is put up 16 ounces in package and sells at same price as 12-ounce packages of other kinds? During courtship they argue; after marriage they quarrel. If you don't get the biggest and best it's your own fault. Defiance Starch is for sale everywhere and there is positively nothing to equal it in quality or quantity. Some men would rather sleep an hour later than to wake up and find themselves famous. NEW TRAIN SERVICE The Thermal, Radio-Active Waters of Hot Springs, Arkansas By be rendered conveniently accessible will be the new train service over the Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain Route between Kansas City and Hot Springs, Arkansas, to be inaugurated on December 1st, leaving Kansas City about noon and arriving at Little Rock the following morning, at the latter point joining the Hot Springs Iron Mountain train from St. Louis. Returning, the Kansas City train will leave Hot Springs about 7 p. m., Little Rock about an hour and three-quarters later, arriving at Kansas City about 3 o'clock p. m. This new Hot Springs train will have connections southbound from points north and west of Kansas City and Osawatonie and from Little Rock for points south and east; returning, the new train will make good connections at Little Rock from the south and east, and at Osawatonie and Kansas City for points north and west. For the further accommodation of travel via the direct route from the west to Hot Springs, there will be a dining car attached to the new train southbound from Kansas City to Coffeyville, serving dinner and supper; northbound, from Coffeyville to Kansas City, serving breakfast and dinner. The growing importance of Hot Springs, Arkansas, as a health and pleasure resort attention to the Nation's Great Sanitarium has recently been stimulated by the discovery of radio-activity as one of the prime curative qualities of thermal waters, together with increased hotel facilities—has called for increased facilities for travel from the great and growing West. With excellent connections, as stated, through travel between the northwest and southeast will doubtless be quick to show appreciation of the new route.

Angient Race Believed to Have Been Advanced in Healing Art. According to a recent medical writer the ancient Aztec race of Mexico was far advanced in the practice of medicine. The native Mexicans practiced massage, splints were used in the dressing of fractured bones, inflamed guns were lanced with obstian knives, aching teeth were extracted, salt was used as an antiseptic and ground obstian as a dusting powder. Stiffness of the muscles and joints were treated by the sweat bath, wounds were sutured with human hair, the actual cannery was applied to the edge of the wounds, and venom was drawn out of poisoned wounds by sucking, while bleeding was pretended in decorate headaches. The hydene of the teeth was well looked after, very hot, food being avoided, as was the use of cold water after eating hot food. Wooden tooth picks, clean water, and powdered charcoal served for dentifrice. In short, the practice of medicine among these early Mediterranean companies very favorably with that in vigor at the time of the landing of the pilgrim fathers. MATCH FOR HIS LAND_ORD One Who Objected to Children Is Cleverly Outspoken. Landlords in Paris are becoming day by day more absurd in the restrictions they put on their tenants. Some will not allow a dog to be kept; others will not permit any pet whatever and some even will not allow children to be in the house. A clever individual has just managed, however, to overcome this last objection. He had seen an apartment he liked and well knowing that the landlord objected to children, he said nothing of the existence of his only child, a boy of two years, but simply had the lease made out in the infant's name. When he came with his family to take possession the proprietor flew into a passion and objected most strongly to the child. "Pardon me," said the astute diplomatist, "but it is my child and not myself who has hired the apartments. You have made no objection to his asking his parents to stay with him. So here we are!" Court Ladies Dishonest. Mme de Croquy in her memoirs has a good deal to say about the want of common honesty displayed by the great ladies of the old and luxurious French court in the matter of relies. The Duchess de Noalles, a very great lady indeed, was a sad offender in this respect. "Once she annexed part of the arm of St. Jeanne de Chantal, which she had borrowed from the mons of the Visitation, and which she had refused to give back. It was discovered that she had caused it to be poured in a mortar and mixed with some drug for her son, the Duc d'Ayen, who was suffering from the measles. It was qiute true she had stolen a piece of the true cross, for she told the archbishop that a stolen relic was always more efficacious." The Lighthouse. 'Neath a canopy of night, Girl by foamy seas. Stands the lighthouse, spectral, white, Farm to every breeze. Be the weather foil or fair, Far its beacons show. To the world rim billows where Freighted sea ships go. And the pilots beed and sail By its far off gleam. As it glitters, small and pale, Like a star abomn. So the Union towers white, So its beacons shine. So its stars illumene the night With a gleam benign. And the stately nations all Sailing fast and far. Soo soft moths the seists tall Freedom's guiding star — Henry F. Thurston in "Telemachus and Other Poems." 1. Telephonic Fences. Barbed wire fences are being utilized for telephonic communication among the farmers in the neighborhood of Woodland, California. The greater part of the lines consist of wire fences running along the sides of the roads or dividing the farms, poles and elevated wires being supplied wherever necessary. Branches or loops are added extending to the residences of the farmers living along the route. The undertaking has proved so successful that the original promoters have induced others to join them, and the line is to be greatly extended. Bull Fighter Made Much Money Bob Fighter - Made in Money. The emulators of a Spanish matador of the first rank appear to be quite equal to those of an English jockey of equal prominence. The famous matador, Louis Mazzantini, retired from the ball ring after a professional career of twenty-three years. His total profits, without including living expenses, amounted to £160,000, but he lost £80,000 in unlucky speculations. He looks forward, however, to enjoy his etihm cum dignitate on the £80,000 remaining. Altogether Mazzantini has killed in the ring 3,500 balls. - London Globe. Poacher's Shrewd Trick A poacher, writing in the Country Gentleman of London, says: "When I left home at night to go poaching I always left an end of a candle burning in a saucer of water in my bedroom; this was arranged so that it would splutter out about 10 o'clock, just as if I had extinguished it and retired for the night. This I did because I discovered that the keepers were given to watching my house for signs of my leaving, and it was a long time before they found that a candle could go out without human agency." WATER A PLANT COPIOUSLY. Sprinkling Every Day Not the Best Way to Get Results. Improper watering is often the cause of failure with plants. The usual plan is to sprinkle a small quantity of water daily in each pot containing a plant. If those who water plants in this manner, as most beginners do, could see the florist water his plants they might fear the plants were being drowned, but they would learn a lesson in plant culture that would be of much benefit. The florist waters his plants (with few exceptions) either daily, every other day or twice a week, according to the weather, and when the watering is done the soil about the plant is completely saturated. The pot being well provided at the bottom with drainage material—usually broken pieces of pots—the surplus water passes off, yet the soil is so wet that the roots can absorb from it all the moisture required for the best development of growth. One watering of this kind a week will do vastly more good to the plants than the daily sprinkling so generally practiced. TRAIN BIRDS AND FISH. Marvelous Skill Displayed by Japaneese and Korean Showmen. Japanese and Korean showmen, in addition to their skill as jugglers and acrobats, display a truly marvelous skill in teaching animals tricks. They not only exhibit educated bears, spaniels, monkeys and goats, but also trained birds and, what is the most astonishing of all, trick fish. One of the most curious examples of patient training is an exhibit by an old Korean boatman of a dozen drilled tortoises. Directed by his songs and a small metal drum, they march in line, execute various evolutions, and conclude by climbing upon a low table, the larger ones forming of their own accord a bridge for the smaller, to which the feat would otherwise be impossible. When they have all mounted they dispose themselves in three or four piles, like so many plates. I Walked Alone. I walked alone in the twilight aisle Through maple, oak and pine. Where autumn sighed, and sighed, and smiled. In sadness kin to mine. Across the path the sun had cast A vibrant golden spire. For a moment only passed And strewed her blessings three. Around the lily pool I strolled. And mast the golden堡. With all its wealth of plumming gold Lifted from the soil. The asters, white and amethyst, Looked up, wide eyes, to see The rose red apples in their mist Of green—you know the tree. I walked alone at first, and then, All suddenly, I knew The spirits of the wood and glen Were there—all there but you. I searched the orchard and the wood. Your voice seemed ever near And then at last I was ledost You were in my dear my dear. Crimati Tribune. How the Frenchman Read His Book How the Frenchman Read His Book "A curious way to read a book was what I saw the other day coming up from New Orleans," said J. T. Simpson of Chicago. "It was in a Pullman sleeping car, and we had a pretty good crowd of northbound tourists. Among them was a queer looking Frenchman; at least, I judged he was such. On his seat I noticed a dozen paper back novels. Shortly after breakfast he began reading one of these at the open window by his seat. As soon as he finished a page he tore it off neatly and threw it out the window. The books were all in French, and before we got to Atlanta he had read three and scattered the French printed pages for hundreds of miles."—Atlanta Constitution. To Stop Sneezing. "There are times when to sneeze is to be embarrassed," said a society man; "at a dinner table, a social function of some sort, or in the theater, for example; but most people console themselves with the thought that it is something that can't be prevented. They are mistaken in this belief, however, for it can be prevented, and by a very simple expedient. When one feels the premonitory symptoms of a sneeze coming on, if he will just press firmly down on the lip on either side of and a little below the nostrils, the symptoms will gr...ually die off and the sneeze will be avoided."—London Answers. Cowboya in Laced Boots. The few cowboys left in the West are taking to laced boots. There was a time, in the heyday of the cow country, where a special grade of fine, high-heeled, thin-soled boot was manufactured solely for the cowboy trade, since cowboys were always very vain about their footwear. But with decadence of their trade the cattlemen have lost their small vanities, and a half half of them ride in the more comfortable laced boots. So is the old top boot, once worn by most city men, vanquished in its last stronghold.—New York Sun. How "Negus" Originated. Negus, as much enjoyed in the army as grog is in the navy, attains its name from a jovial colonel in the days of George L. This Col. Negus was accustomed to drink the mild elixir of the ancient Roman, wine and water, and made himself so famous in the habit of avoiding imminent quarrels or cooling hot debates among his junior officers by saying in his hearty, contagious tores, "Come, boys, let's drink some of my liquor," till Negus became the sobriquet of wine diluted with water—as the cup of truce.
