The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. J. M. The successful manager of Blind Boone is doing a nice business ELECTION OF SCHOOL TEACHERS Ten days more will mark the ending of the present school year. Following closely upon the closing of the school year usually comes the election of teachers for the ensuing year. The condition of the negro schools has not been satisfactory, even to the school board for many years, though recently there has been an effort made by the board to look more closely after the needs of the negro schools in general by supplying new buildings which will of course relieve the congestion which has for a long time been a painful feature. One of the most important matters to which the Son desires to call the attention of the honorable school board is that of employing men and women of higher moral worth to teach our children—men and women whose standard of reputation is the very best, both as to character and ability. This is not only essential in securing better educational results to our children, but it will assist in solving the great race question with which every citizen in the United States, both black and white has to contend. In presenting this appeal to our school board the Son is honest and sincere. No motive whatever has it except to secure the Negro children of this city an opportunity to become better and more useful adults by receiving their training at the hands of competent teachers of high character and integrity. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES Commencement season opened auspiciously, Friday, June 1st, with the closing exercises of the Model School. The little folks, principally children of the citizens of Jefferson City, acquitted themselves with much credit to their instructors and their exhibit of industrial work in the form of caffir hats, sewing and other useful and ornamental articles as well as their drawing, pennmanship, etc., gave evidence that the Senior class of '06 is well prepared to go forth to teach in the schools of Missouri and other states. The baccalaureate sermon will be delivered Sunday, June 17, by Bip Abram Grant of the Fifth Episcopal District. The bishop needs no words of praise. All who know of his sterling worth, or who have heard him once are anxious to hear him again and again. President Allen gave the annual address at the closing exercises of the colored public school of Mexico, Mo., Prof. I. J. Hicks, principal. The local papers gave a very interesting account of the exercises, referring in the most complimentary terms to President Allen as an educator and to his scholarly address, which they pronounced one of the best heard in Mexico. The Senior banquet to the president and faculty completed a round of entertainments that has added much to the social life of the institutions and that conducted in a practical manner is just as much a part of the legitimate work which the education a first-class school should furnish its students, as that which comes from the text-book. Students and teachers are rounding up a year of strenuous work, and final examinations will soon be on hand. Summer school students are already matriculating, hoping to gain a little on their fellows by coming early, and thus does Lincoln Institute bear out its name as a professional training school with an approximately continuous session, an institution where students have exceptional advantage to study and at the same time make all or part of their expenses. Especially is this true of the young men, who besides finding steady employment in the homes of leading white citizens, frequently find it possible to make extra money by attendance upon the various social functions that occur in the Capitol City. Mrs. Folk, wife of his excellency Governor Folk, has on several occasions employed the institute young men, and has very highly recommended them and the service rendered, as well as paying them well. The "Glee Club," or "Mate Quartet" is frequently called upon to sing, as before the G. A. R. recently in session, and is well paid. There are few higher institutions of learning so situated that the students may thus make expenses while giving attendance in the class-room. LOGAN'S MANUAL OF PRIMARY ARITHMETIC was written especially for teachers, by G. B. Logan, formerly principal of the noted Humboldt School of Kansas City, now assistant superintendent of Kansas City schools. It explains fully the "Logan Method" of teaching Primary Arithmetic, which is being introduced into many parts of the United States. It consists of model lessons with copious notes and suggestions, making the course complete and simple. The bright progressive teacher will need no other help. KANSAS CITY MO., THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1906. Many Talled Kittens. Cats with nine lives and cats without tails have always been plentiful in Wapakoneta, O., but cats with two or three tails were never seen there before. Peisler brothers are the proud possessors of three kittens with seven tails, two have two tails each, and one has only one common tail. The extra tails grow out of the kittens' backs along the backbone, are fully developed and almost as long as the natural tails.—Exchange Word Is Overworked. Doubtless the most over-worked word in the English language conversationally, is the word "proposition." Once you begin to notice it, it gets on your nerves. Some people can't talk thirty seconds without using it. A friend of ours used it twenty times in the course of two minutes' talk. It is maddening. Stop it. A little picture-esque conversation goes a great way. —Chicago News. Hubby's Precious Pipe. "Where is my new meerschaum pipe?" he bawled anxiously from the library. "Oh, here it is, dear," cried his wife, running to him with a queer dark object in her hand. "I knew how hard and unsuccessfully you had been trying to color it and so this afternoon I got out my paints and painted it in this lovely drawnwork pattern of brown and green and blue." First Shedding of Tears. It will be news to many that as a rule we do not weep until after the fourth month of life. One of the leading physicians of Europe says that he has been unable to satisfy himself that any asserted instance of weeping at an earlier age is genuine. Moans, screams, etc., go for nothing. The question has to do with shedding tears. Mexico Cave Dwellers. The cave-dwellers of Mexico can travel a distance of 170 miles at a stretch, going at a slow but steady trot. Frequently a letter has been carried a distance of over 600 miles in five days, the carrier living all the time on a simple diet of pinole, a finely ground corn, mixed with water into a thin paste. If You Invite Anybody— Don't give vague invitations; they do not seem, and probably are not, intended seriously, and no one is complimented by a courtesy of that sort. If you really want a visitor, indicate the time or times when you will be free, and leave the invited to fix the date, or ask the visitor for a definite event. Wealth in Old Hotel Structure In altering an old hotel in New York city it has been found that the beams, floor boards and woodwork are of solid mahogany. The structure would prove a perfect mine of wealth if it could be razed, but the owner refuses to allow this to be done under any circumstances. Church Trumpet. At Braybrooke church, England, is still to be seen a monster trumpet, sixty-six inches long, which was used in the early part of the last century to summon the people to church instead of church bells. It was also formerly used by the choir leader during service. An Old Puzzle Revived. Dancing men—and others—have a difficulty with the new fashions in finding their partners' waists. A century ago the Observer, in referring to a similar puzzle, exclaimed: "The heart that used to pant above the tucker now beats below the waist." Elephant Hard to Approach An elephant has so delicate a sense of smell that when in a wild state it can scent an enemy at a distance of 1,000 yards. Prussian Universities The cost to the Prussian government of its ten universities a year is nearly $4,000,000. For Gay Window Gardens. The peasants of Europe vie with one another as to which will have the gayest window gardens—a little strife that would lead to good results in this country. Put plants in every window you can, train vines over them, hang up paskets filled with plants that are easy to cultivate, such as the asparagus fern or the tradescantia.—Brooklyn Eagle. Nearly Akin. Not being able to find an appropriate likeness of his satanic majesty, an old colored parson tore a picture of a racing automobile from a newspaper and held it before his congregation. "It de same thing," he explained. "dls heh thing makes es much noise es old Nick, does es much damage an ebenhes a horn sticking out in front." Struggle for Lucky Pins According to an ancient bit of Sussex folk lore, when a bride returns home from church her single friends at once rob her of all the pins in her dress, under the impression that every maiden who is lucky enough to possess one will be married during the course of a year. Rays of Radium Are Common: it cannot be said that radium is plentiful in nature it has been discovered that the rays or influence which radium gives off are common everywhere. Very many of the most plentiful things and some of the most opposite character are known to be radioactive. When Trees Explode The shattering effects of lightning upon trees may be accounted for, in some degree, by the sudden evolution of heat and expansion of gases in the wood and the vaporizing of the water in the sap. A veritable explosion may thus be caused. Must Be on the Move Not long ago it was common, among all classes, to find a man living where his grandfather lived. Now, how many do so. It is barely respectable, it is at least dreadfully old-fashioned, to stop in one place ten years.—Exchange. Penalties of Riches Money is a mere medium of exchange until you begin to want more of it than you need. Thereafter in every increasing ratio the law of compensation exacts the payments and the penalties of riches.—John A. Howland. Human Needs "Man wants but little here below," mused the philosopher, "but if he's thorough, he wants it right. If it's a little bird, he wants it hot; and if it's a little bottle he wants it cold."—Baltimore American. Also. Elsewhere. In England it is not what you know that is of importance, but whom you know; not what you are, but who you are; not what you do for yourself, but what others will do for you.—London Truth. Musical Jewelry Musical jewelry is not unknown. A Milanese named Fassicomo is said to have given his wife a bracelet which tinkled forth three different tunes. Desecrate Italian Churches There is considerable excitement in Italy over the increasing number of thets of works of art in churches and monasteries. King is Great Linguist. The king of Greece is the greatest Hinguist among monarchs. He reads twelve languages and speaks most of them. Control of Africa. All parts of Africa, except Abysinia, Morocco and Liberia, are controlled directly or indirectly by some Eupropean power. French Africa is about equal in area to half the United States. Thank God for Gifts. The Mohammedans have the custom, when they receive a present, of thanksgiving God first, then the giver. If you do them a favor, they will say: "I thank God for your kindness to me." Some may comply rather thoughtlessly with this custom, which they have inherited from their father. But many certainly say it with ir whole heart. Chinese Amazons Women in China have the privilege of fighting in the wars. In the rebellion of 1850 women did as much fighting as the men. At Nankin, in 1833, 500,000 women, from various parts of the country were formed into brigades of 13,000 each, under female officers. Of these soldiers, 10,000 were picked women, drilled and garrisoned in the city. Astonishing! It is astonishing, though, how far a good complexion will carry a girl. I verily believe that nine out of every ten men are more attracted by a really good complexion and a healthy color than by fine eyes or pretty hair, or even a good figure—which is another valuable asset for a girl to possess.—"Ambrosia," in The World. Woman's Right to Be Attractive. To be as attractive and as pleasing as possible is a guile laudable ambition; and every woman, be she naturally plain or pretty, should make the most of such points of attractiveness as she possesses, cultivate each charm assiduously and by every legitimate means seek to enhance it.—Exchange. Uncalled-For Night of Agony. A story is told of a man who, crossing a disused coal field late at night, fell into an apparently bottomless pit, and saved himself only by grasping a projecting beam. There he clung with great difficulty all night, only to find when day dawned that his feet were only four inches from the bottom. Pigeons Mate for Life When a pair of pigeons become mated they are practically "married." In a loft of fifty husbands and fifty wives each couple attends to its own household affairs, does not worry about its neighbors, but goes on building nests, laying eggs and raising young. They are very devoted to each other and divide all labor excepting laying eggs. Well, That's Only His Fair Share. When mother puts up preserves, father puts up the sugar—Boston Home and Abroad. Scarlet Is Mourning Garb. Unmarried women in Brazil wear scarlet for mourning. A Man in the Moon Although the moon is not a rhotonsy luxuriant abode, it is anything but the lifeless orb commonly supposed. It may be desolate and cold; but it is not altogether dead—Scientific American. Where to Have a Boil. Thomas Bailey Aldrich, commenting once upon the trials of Job, remarked that the only proper place to have a boil was between "John" and "O'Reilly." Still Poisonous Snakes in Europe Still Poisonous Snakes in Europe. The Tyrolese government still pays for the extermination of poisonous snakes. It is the one European government which now does so. Sudan Ostrich Feather Trade Sudan Ostrich Feather Trade. The ostrich feather trade in the Sudan seems doomed, owing to the success of the South African ostrich arms. Ice on Telegraph Wires Ice on Telegraph Wires. Ice forming on telegraph wires sometimes increases their weight no less than 90 per cent. American Oysters for Shanghai. American oysters are sent as far as Shanghai. NUMBER 50 Henry Bergh's Name Honored. Henry Bergin's Name Honored. In 1866 the late Henry Bergin founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and on its incorporation he became its first president. He made himself the butt of much ridicule by his persistence in discovering and bringing to punishment those who offended against its humane purpose, more especially as concerned horses; but when he died, in 1888, a chain of similar societies had been established throughout the Union and in foreign countries, and he was held in honor throughout the world—New York Sun. Says She Saw Ghost of Sergius. At the exact hour of the assassination of the Russian Grand Duke Sergius his golddaughter, in the Alexis palace, declares he opened the door of her room, covered with bleeding wounds, and exclaimed: "Look, young princess!" French Soldiers Cannot Write. In order to test the quality of mind of French soldiers, a set of questions — a kind of "general paper" — was sent to sixty two soldiers at random. Of the sixty-two, seventeen could not write, and so did not answer at all. Water for Cows. Experiments show that a cow, when in full flow of milk, drinks from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of water a month, the average quantity, determined by testing a herd, being 1,660 pounds for each cow. Man at Thirty Love's young dream being once over, man is apt to drift past one's comfortable matrimonial stage. At thirty he needs to be very skilfully uetted,—"Ambrosia." in The World. To Color Hyacinth. By putting the stem of the flower into a bottle of red ink, leaving it there for an hour, the hyacinth will assume a delicate pink color. "Real Comfort" Is Normal All we ought to expect is comfort, artistic if you choose, but complete at all events. That is quite enough for anybody. When surplus wealth comes, let the comfort grow into luxury. But to wear one's self out freeting for unattainable things, to barbier honor for them, is sheer folly. If the world could be brought to the point of seeing this there would be greater joy in living. Oldest University The oldest university in the world is at Pekin. It is called the "School for the Sons of the Empire." Its antiquity is very great, and a grand register, consisting of stone columns, g20 in number, contains the names of 60,000 graduates. Peculiarity of Buddhism. The religion of the Buddha is cited as an example of recognition given by a great religious teacher to the lower animals. Alone does the doctrine of Buddha embrace a recognition of the dignity of the lower order of animals. Transforms Vegetables. M. Mollard of Paris, not satisfied with the usual grafting adopted by floriculturists, has started to transform vegetables. It is said he has succeeded in turning a radish into a potato. Polar Region is Healthful The air is so pure in the Polar regions, so free from harmful microbes, that throat and lung diseases are unknown there. That section is also entirely free from contagious malades. Speed of Electric Current The speed of the electric current in copper wire is 463,500,000 meters a second. The fastest ocean steamer makes only 9.8 meters a second. True Friends. True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited, but in adversity they come without invitation. —Theophrasus.

PRESENTS FOR GENTLEMEN Quite a Windfall to Have at >t Six Presents Described foe’. .s Difficult Person, The accompanying SMustration give some suggestions for ladies who wish to make, with their own hands, some useful little presents for their gem tlemen friends. No. 1 is an ordinary rubber tobacco Pouch (one should e chosen capable of holding about two ounces of to bacco) that has been covered with wash-leather, and the Initial of the re- ciplent or giver worked in silk on the front part of it. No. 2 is a sketch of a pipe case, which may also be made out of wash- leather or kid, and buttons over to in- close the pipe. No. 3 Is a case to hold two razors and some shaving-papers, and is made to fold up and fasten with two little Oar Oiep ‘VO buttons, It can be made in art linen, in silk, or fine cloth, and should be about 9 inches wide and 12 Inches deep. If the pockets are formed of wash leather they will help to keep the razors bright, and It {s quite easy to work the lettering on the leather. No. 4, a circular flat pincushion for carrying {n the waistcoat pocket, and to the right of this sketch {s shown a side view of the same article, It should be about two inches in dt: ameter. It is made from two discs of card covered with embrofdered silk. ‘They are seamed together, and pins are stuck In round the edges. No. 5 illustrates a case to hold tes, handkerchiefs, and gloves, construct ed with pockets, and to fold up in the same manner as the razor and shav- ing-paper case, but larger, the width at least 11 Inches and 18 Inches deep; the pockets are stitched on the lining before that is laid over the material that forms the outside. A pretty dark-colored fine cloth, lined with white silk, are the best things to use, as the white is clean-looking. No. 6, like the pipecase, may be made of wash-‘eather, or kid, and ts intended for a purse for gold, and should be in size about 1% inches deep by 1% inches in width, and fasten with a small button, This also is for carrying in the waistcoat pocket, and has an initial worked in silk on ‘the front, FOR CHAPPED HANDS. Wear Gloves as Much as Possible and Do Not Wash the Hands More Than Is Necessary. Just as there is a constitutional ten- dency of certain skins to become roughened and excoriated by the stim- ulating effect of cold winds, so is there a constitutional tendency for the hands to chap at some seasons of the year under the Influence of cold water or an irritating cleansing medium, Soaps containing an excess of alkali, and water containing even small quan- Uties of soda, are particular offenders in this direction. "As is well, known, washerwomen whose hands are constantly immersed ‘in strong solutions of soda are par- ‘ttcularly Hable not only to chapped ‘hands, but actually to eczema of the skin, and bakers who are in the habit ‘of kneading dough which also often contains w fair proportion of earbon- ate of soda, very frequently suffer in the same way. The best recipe therefore that I can give you to avold chapping of the hands is to avoid using indifferently prepared soaps and as far as possible ‘to dispense with manual ablutions. To “protect the hands from atmospheric conditions it is advisable to wear gloves, not only out of doors but as much as possible in the house also, This serves the additional purpose of obviating the necessity for frequent washing. It is possible now to procure some very thin India rubber gloves which fit the hand closely and in no way interfere with the delleate manip- ulations of the fingers. Surgeons are now in the habit of using these gloves in the performance of their operations, for they are in no way damaged by washing und they both protect the hands from Irritating antiseptics and other fluids with which they come tn contact and they also protect the per- son operated on from any possible contamination that may be contained on the skin of the surceon, ‘These gloves, as “1 have remarked, are exceedingly useful for domestic use by people who are lable to chapped hands and in whom the con- dition, if it arises, amounts to some- | thing more than an inconvenience, To Improve the Arms, Immediately after washing In warm water massage the arms with the skin food and if the conditions be tavor- able you will see an Improvement in @ month, More Wholesome Complexion, Give up tea and coffee, take out-of- door exeretse, a daily bath, drink plen- ty of water, as much as @ quart @ day; eat plenty of fruit, New York Just at Presont Ashamed of Her Hurry—The Tube Blunder— The Wonderful Big Ships.

The mayor says the mishap may delay the completion of the tunnel for three years, Others say a year may suffice to patch it up. Still others doubs whether the damage can be repaired. MUST KEEP AWAY FROM HIGH PLACES. The city of tall buildings has discovered a. new comfort and a new complaint. “Elevation cael iright” is the new name for an old complaint, 6 which Dr. R. Ten Eyck says is incurable, It 1s » La simply the impulse which some people—many .& 2 e people, it would appear—feel when at a great Ls f MRM heicht to throw themselves down.

High living, then, seems to have both advantages and disadvantages, which each must balance for himself, If you climb you recede from disease, but you are in danger of a longing to go suddenly ail the way down without using the stairs or elevator, YUOATING HOTFL.

The Kaiserin Augusta Victoria is sald to be “shady,” but the word is relative. The fact that she is 122 feet wide gives guarantee of spaciousness, and suggests a break-away from the old greyhound type. In other words, the new ship is a show ship, and going to Europe is a show experience for many Americans. We are on the brink of what is called the exodus to Europe. Meanwhile the exodus from Europe, which is quite a different matter, and not a show experience, steadily continues. ‘There was rumor of a scandal the other day in the manner in which emigrants were packed into the ocean liners. But I doubt if there is much to complain of in this matter. Save in exceptional cases, the steerage people are as decently placed as is possible—in a steerage, THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD AT SEA.

IN KANSAS CITY. The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. "No people have as often been betrayed by their 'leaders' as have the colored people. And yet there are those who blame the race because they will not trust their leading men." The pessimistic mood of the Freeman in connection with Negro leaders asserts itself when it says: "We often hear the statement that 'our people will not follow their leaders.' Now, why is this? We will tell you why. It is because not one out of a dozen of 'our leaders' can be trusted. No people have ever been defrauded by their own leaders as have the colored people." W. C. Hueston, of the law firm of Hueston & Calloway, 117 W. 6th St. will leave for his home, Lexington, Kentucky, Monday for a visit to his mother. While there, Mr. Hueston will deliver the annual Alumni address to Chandler College, his Alma Mater, and on June 18th, he will deliver the commencement address to the Wayman Institute at Harrodsburg, Ky. The headquarters of the No. 11 Fire Co. on Independence avenue is in a deplorable condition. The roof leaks, the place is damp and dilapidated and is unfit for the boys to live in and keep healthy. If there is any place in the city government that needs looking after it is No. 11 Fire Co. We hope the proper officials will do what is right in connection with the matter. After pounding over the great injustice which is exercised toward the colored race, in courts and out of courts, the Oklahoma Safeguard says: "I believe when a man tells the truth the other people should say "amen." It is nothing else but the color of the skin which gives rise or decides whether a man must be lynched or not for his crime. I have seen a southern white man who was convicted for rape on his step-daughter, given a fair trial and sentenced to the pen, while Negroes who are merely accused, not guilty, are burned at the stake. This is a "miscarriage of justice," and the Negroes should not stand for it." The Son requests as much as do the patrons, that it has been compelled to turn over to the collector a long list of delinquents. We have tried in every way to avoid taking this action by calling or sending our ocal collector time and time again. These efforts have been met with promises. But this won't go all the time. A pay-day must finally come. BOTH MUST PUT SMOULDERS TO THE WHEEL. The white man who can do the most for the Negro, who can aid him in his toilsome march to better material and intellectual conditions, are the Southern white men, who are his neighbors. It is one of the encourgrowing up in the South a body of aging signs of the times that there is leading white men who feel that the future of the Negro race affects the future of the South, and that both self-interest and humanity require them to lend all the aid they can to this people.—Secretary Taft, at Tuskegee's Silver Anniversary. . GRAND JURY REPORT ON LYNCHING IN SPRING-FIELD. MO. Innocent Negroes Lynched Burned. The report of the grand jury to investigate the hanging and burning of three Negroes in Springfield, Mo., on the 14th of April has been effected. The jury reported that no attack had been committed by the two Negroes on Mrs. Mina Edwards as alleged; that it was impossible for the two Negroes, Duncan and Coker, to have been at the scene of the alleged attack at the time that it was committed; that Mrs. Edwards reputation was not good and that the sheriff and he police department were negligent in performing their duties. As to the number of indictments found by the grand jury it is believed that there are not more than twenty-five. Of this number four are said to be for murder in the first degree and the others for murder in the second degree, perjury and breaking jail. In opening their report to Judge Lincoln the grand jury submitted the following: Eloquent About Mob Law. We preface our conclusions with the declaration that mob law is an inexcusable crime and a shameful stain on the reputation of any intelligent community of citizens, who should enjoy and accord protection to the humblest under our ample laws, involving as it does the denial of the right to trial of the party accused. It is dangerous to the lives and property of every citizen of the community. We find that the lynching of the Negroes the night of April 14 was not only unjustifiable and unlawful, but was without reason or excuse. The lynchers consisted mainly of a crowd of irresponsible drunken men, who had no respect for law or order and no regard for the rights of others, and who took advantage of the occasion to commit acts of lawlessness that were absolutely barbarous and fiendish, and these acts were nothing more or less than the outward exhibition of their real inward criminality. Conceding that an attack was committed on the woman as told by her at the time, we have investigated the facts as to the whereabouts of two victims of the lynching, Duncan and Coker, and from the evidence taken, it is clear that those two Negroes could not have been guilty of the alleged attack. According to the testimony before us, the alleged assault could not have occurred later than 9:30 p. m. on the night of April E3 and these two men, Duncan and Coker, were at work for the Pickwick Transfer company that night and did not leave their work earlier than 10 o'clock. E. R. DURHAM. The Popular U. S. Marshal. It is not infrequent that comments are heard bearing upon the merits of the administrations of the several federal stations of the western district. From what has been said by those who have had dealings with the U. S. Marshal's office. Mr. Durham should feel that his administration is a very popular one. An official who does his duty always feels rewarded when he finds that the same has received public appreciation. Mr. Durham received his appointment under Mr. McKinley and so admirably did he conduct the affairs of his office that he was reappointed by President Roosevelt. Mr. Durham is well and favorably known throughout the state where he has fought many party battles. Prior to his appointment as U. S. Marshal he was Assistant tSate Superintendent of Public Instruction. NEGRO DISFRANCHISED JUST THE SAME. Secretary Taft in his Tuskegee speech declared that the Negro is in America to stay and that no law can be framed to deprive him of the ballot. And still the Negro isn't voting to any great extent in Mississippi and in Georgia—Boston Globe. The manner and action of J. M. Horton reminds us more of a Jack on a New York Bowery than a primary teacher. Mr. Horton's career in the school-room has not been very inspiring nor has his conduct been exemplary. These facts are too well known for Mr. Horton to assume an air of boastful defiance. If he thinks the Son is afraid of him let him take up the gauntlet and we will see who will make the first score. Invented Electri Motor. Although unknown as an inventor and almost blind and heavily weighted with his 86 years, Warcham F. Chase invented fifty years ago the first electric motor, the model of which is now in the Vermont State house. The model will run today when an electric current is applied, as it did half a century ago, in his shop in Montpelier, Vt. A Strangler's Mistake.

One half the world is down on automobiles, and the other half is down under them. There are no return tickets issued from the frying pan into the fire. Henpecked Men In India. Henpecked husbands are found even in India. A writer says: "To live as I have done in a Hindoo house, especially when the real house mistress is a masterful and deeply religious widow, who is grandmother to the babies and mother to their parents, is no longer to wonder at the absolute terror with which men speak of the 'stri achchar.' For the men of India are—poor souls!—the most henpecked in the world." "Manufactured Wool." Manufacturers pleasantly name shoddy "manufactured wool." The term is speciously descriptive, for the material is made from the wools which have passed through the process of manufacture Soft worsted rags of any kind—old stockings, or soft cloth made from long-stapled wools—are cleaned and torn into soft fluff in a machine resembling somewhat the ordinary willow machine. Hair and Disease. Japanese scientist named Matsura has been studying the effects of diseases and the varying physical state of the body upon the growth and thickness of the hair. He finds that hair, especially in the case of persons whose hair is of coarse structure, is so sensitive to bodily condition that it contains a veritable history of the state of the individual to whom it belongs, for the period covered by its growth. Derivation of Fork The fork takes its name from the Latin furca, a yoke looking like an inverted V. From this comes the Italian forca and forchetta (little fork). The latter word gives the French their fourchette, while the English go back to the former and retain the harder sounding "fork."—From D. M. Morrell's "Forks" in St. Nicholas. Much Depends on Worker: The man who mixes the mortar, the man who lays the granite, the man who saws, digs, hews or harles—upon each of these the honesty of the world depends. • • • You may lie in your throat, and no one to be the worse of it; to lie with the hands is to add a stone to the fabric of the world's disgrace.—New York Times Honeymoons Cut Short Brevity and economy in honeymoons, the London Express says, are becoming the fashion. Even wealthy people, it says, are "showing a tendency to limit the wedding tours to three or four days in Paris." Many go straight to their new home from the church and stay there. ' Chinese Stamps Nearly all Chinese stamps bear dragons, hideous beyond description, as their central figures. Other stamps depict great pagodas and sacred towers, being supposed to guard the "luck" of a place and propitate the spirits and frighten away the evil ones. Brutal Suggestion. To obvitate the unseemingly sight of women interrupters at election meetings being forcibly ejected, the proposal has been made that at every hall a mouse should be kept, which could be let loose if necessary.—London Telegraph. Professional Tooth-Stainers The trade of tooth-stainer is peculiar to Eastern Asia. The natives prefer black teeth to the whiter kind, and the tooth-stainer, with a little box of brushes and coloring matter, calls on his customers and stains their teeth. To Restore Calf Bindings Wash lightly with a soft sponge dipped in a preparation of best glue, dissolved in a pint of hot water, to which add a teaspoonful of glycerin and a little flour paste. Rub well with chamois leather when dry. Relief from Hiccoughs. Hiccough may be relieved by sipping cold water, or holding the breath may also effectually check it. If these methods fail, a teaspoonful of bicarbate of soda in a half tumbler of water should be taken. Mr. J. C. Stubbs of the Chicago postoffice spent a week in our city visiting his old classmate, C. H. Calloway. He will visit Lawrence and Topeka before his return to Chicago. Origin of Russians. Rurik the Rodsen, or Oarsman, a daring sea rover, landed in 862 on the Russian shore of the Baltic with his brothers, Sineus and Truwer. He subjugated the country from Novgorod to the Volga, and his followers were called Rodsen or Russians, Rodsen, in the Scandinavian tongue of the period, meaning oarsmen. Rurik died in 879. The Russian warship Rurik, it will be remembered, went down off Sakhalin last summer. Steals 2.600 Pipes. One of the strangest cases of kleptomania ever brought to light was heard of in Paris. A certain woman had such a passion for smoking and for coloring meerschaum pipes that she had been for a long time stealing pipes of this description from shops. In the flat which she occupied there was found no fewer than 2,600 pipes, not one of which, it is believed, she had paid for. New Secret Order. One of the prosperous farmers of Etna, N. H., was informed by his hired man that in the town of Canaan there was a secret order which had a large membership and was very prosperous, and hearing such a glowing account he inquired the name of the order. The young man replied that he was not quite certain, but believed that it was "Knights of Paralysis." Irishman or Indian. Having been described in the Washington Post as a noble red man, lawyer Robert L. Owen has written a letter to the editor. "I hold as a self-evident truth," he says, "that a man who is ninety-nine parts Irish and one part Cherokee is to all intents and purposes an frishman, even if he is by the statutes of the United States Cherokee Indian." Theory of Heat and Motion The modern theory of heat and motion seems to have been quite clear to the mind of a Dutch professor named Van der Linden as early as 1642. In a medical treatise, written in Latin, the professor asserts his belief that the heat of the human body consists in the vibration of the most minute particles in its makeup. The Lady in the Moon. A German astronomer has discovered that the man in the moon is a woman. "Hair, eyes, mouth, nose, chin, and bust," says he, may all be distinctly observed. In fact, the only thing that makes one doubt the accuracy of his observation is that he saw not one woman but two.—London Telegraph. Oldest Architectural Ruins. The oldest architectural ruins in the world are believed to be the rock-cut temples at Ipsambol, on the left bank of the Nile, in Nubia. The largest of these ancient temples contains fourteen apartments hewn out of solid stone. The ruins are supposed to be 4,000 years old. Rare Substance. Palladium, a rare substance little used, is the active agent in automatic gas lighting devices. Flame is produced as soon as the illuminating gas strikes a pellet of asbestos covered with a mixture of palladium and finely divided platinum, known as platinum black. Railway Mileage. Europe, in comparison with America, has not one-fifth the railway mileage per capita, the figures being 4.5 miles per 10,000 of population, as against 25.9 miles in the United States. The mileage in Prussia per 10,000 of the population is about 18. Imitate Jamaica Rum. The government of Jamaica has begun, in England, a series of prosecutions of sellers of counterfeit Jamaica rum. The result of this illicit trade has been a reduction of distilleries in Jamaica from 150 to 108 in five years. Immense Southern Swamps. The two largest swamps in the south, the Everglades and the Okefinoke, cover an area of 500,000 square miles. The trees are very large and vegetation low. Both swamps teem with alligators and deadly moccasins. Language of Italy and Sicily. Among the natives of Italy and Sicily there are about 100,000 who speak French; German is spoken by 12,000; Slavic by 30,000; Albanese by 110,000; Greek by 38,000; Catalanian by 10,000.

From all the golden hills of Dream, Dew-cool and rainbow kissed, It twines and curls, a silver stream, Through valleys hung with mist. Down past enchanted woods to where Romance walks ever young, Where kings ride forth to take the air On steeds with velvet hung— Where secret stairways tempt the bold, Where pirate caves abound, And many a chest of Spanish gold May solemnly be found! Through magic years it twines and creeps Past towers of peacock blue, Where still some captured princess sleeps And dreams come always true. Then gleam by gleam the light goes out, Then darkened, grief by grief, It sighs into our Sea of Doubt And manhood's unbelief! Why He Was Cheerful. "No man," said Jerome K.

Not even their valets, Me one of the people! Ye gods, but you watch these same people for a few years, You say they run the govern- ment! They and their government ar> run by Wall street, which owns the United States senate, body and soul. The people are pawns on a chess board, moved by the players, and they only talk, while the Wall street owners act. Let me tell you a story. I once had a dog trained so that he would lay down and roll over for a cracker, and would hold a plece of meat on his nose until his mouth would water and his eyes sparkle, but he would wait for me to snap my fingers before he would toss the meat in the air with his nose and snateh {t In his mouth, and swal- low ft whole for fear I would get {t away from him. He would stand on his hind legs and speak and beg for a bone to be thrown to him so he could cateh ft. Do you know, the people of this country remind me of that dog. If they do not assert themselves and take monopoly, high finance, insurance rob- bery, grafting and millionaire and bil lionaire ownership of everything that pays by the throat and strangle thei all, and do business themselves instead of having business done for them by the money power, they will never get notice] except when they do their tricks like my old doz. When the time comes that the people wear collars and are led by chains, and they have to stand on their hind legs and speak to their rich and arrogant masters for bones, and hold meat on their noses until Wall street snaps its fingers, you will want to come out here in the mountains and live the free life of a train robber witha con science, What do you think about it, bub?” sald the robber to me, “Well.” says [to him, “you talk like a socialist, or a Democrat, but you talk all right. If fam one of the people Iwill do as the rest do, but VM be darned £1 will get down and roll over for any- body.” COURAGE VS. COWARDICE. The Opinion of a Military Man Re garding the Two Qual- ities, “Courage,” observed an old military man, “Is a quality very difficult to ana- lyze, “I have known men who, in ordinary life, were shy, sensitive fellows, dis- ylay the uttmost pluck and coolness cn the battlefield; just as, on the other and, I have seen self-possessed, sturdy blades, almost panie-stricken in the same circumstances, “One thing I have learned by experi: ence, and that Is the falsity of the say ing that ‘bullies are always cowards. 1 have known blustering fellows, who delighted In hectoring their comrades, fight like ‘Trojans when their turn came, without any sign of fear, “It seems to me that courage 1s very much a question of the imagination A dull man Will plunge fearlesly into danger, because he does not realize his peril, If he had the imagination te do so, he might turn tail, or, at any rate, shrink and hesitate. “On the other hand, the intelligentiy brave man is alded by his imagination for while it enables him to understand his danger, it makes him keenly alive to the shame of cowardice and. the glory of heroism.” Wew and Simple Barometer. Dr. Eydam, a noted German meteore ologtst, has discovered a new and ex- tremely simple kind of barometer. It consists of the telegraph wire which is strung from pole to pole along the roadsides, Dr. Eydam declares that by listening closely 10 the sound made ‘by the wind blowing across the wires anyone can tell exactly what the weather 1s likely to be several days in advance, af the wires emit a deep, mel: low and sustained note, Hike *hat of an organ, it means that the weather wi be showery, with possible gales.

There ts no dust flying, no in- sects are in the air at that time ready to commit suicide by suffocation tn the coat of fresh paint. The atmos: pheric conditions are also favorable at that season for proper drying and Increased life of th paint. It should be a habit with every Property owner every spring to look over his buildings, etc., and sco it they need repainting; not merely to see if they “will go another year,” but whether the time has not come for putting in the proverbial “stitch fn time” which shall eventually “save uine.” For one coat of paint applied dust a little before it is actually need- ed will often save most of the paint on the building by preventing it from letting go and causing endless trou. ble and expense. Paint lets go because linseed oll, which is the “cement that holds all Good paint together, gradually decays or oxidizes, just as {ron exposed to air and dampness will slowly decay or oxidize. The water and oxygen in the air are the cause of the trouble in both cases, and the only reason, outside of its beautifying effect, that ‘We apply paint to wood or fron is be- cause we want to keep water and alr away from them. Live paint, that is paint in which the linseed oll 4s still oily, does this very effectual ly; but dead paint, that is paint in which the oil is no longer oily, is no more impervious to air and’ water than a single thickness of cheese- cloth would be. If then we apply a fresh coat ot oily paint before the old paint is dead, the ofl from the new coat will penetrate the old coat, and the whole coating will once more become alive; and this method of ren- ovation may go on indefinitely, ‘This explains why it ts better econ- omy to repaint a little before it be- comes absolutely necessary than @ little after. When the paint 1s once dead the fresh coat will pull the whole coating off. In the days when repainting meant & general turning ot tnings upside down, a two-weeks’ “cluttering up” of the place with kegs, cans and Pails, a lot of inflammable and ill smelling materials standing around, etc. the dread of painting time was natural. So was the dread of soap. making time, of shirtmaking time, of candlemoulding time and the like, But we live in an age when soap comes from the store better and cheaper than we can make it, waen shirts are sold ready made for less than we can buy the materials, when we can burn coal oil or gus cheaper than we can make tallow candies, and when ail we have to do when we want to repaint {8 to pick out our colors from the card at the store and pay the painter for putting on te paint, When it comes to picking out the paint it is not necessary that one should be a paint chemist, any more than one should be an oil chemist when buying kerosene, or a depart. ment store buyer when selecting shirts, or a soap chemist when buy: ing soap, All that 1s necessary to Insure a fair show is some knowl edge of the character of our paint dealer and the reputation and stand- ing of the maker of the paint offered, Nor must one expect to buy a pure linseed oil paint for the price of tin gved oil alone, It can be taken for granted when anyone offers to sell dollar bills at a discount, he ts bait. ing a hook for “suckers.” So it can ‘be taken for granted when anyone— whether mail order house, paint manufacturer or dealer—offers paint too cheap, he is bidding for the trade of “suckers,” no matter what his promises. But paints sold tn responsible stores under the brands of reputable manufacturers are all good products, differing from one another in the less important matter of the solid pig: ments contained, but practically alike in having their liquid portions com- posed essentially of pure linseed oll. ‘The competition of the better class of paints has driven inferior goods practically out of the market, and no manufacturer of standing now puts out a poor paint, under his own ame at least. As to guarantees on paint, they can be taken for what they are worth. Any reputable manufacturer — will make good any defect actually trace able to the paint itself and not to im Proper use or treatment of it. The really Important guarantee which the paint buyer should exact from his dealer is that the paint is made by a manufacturer that knows his bush ness and that the paint Itself has a record. If he secures this guaranteé he can afford to chance the rest o it—the paint will undoubtedly giv good service if properly applied a0 Kicker by Habit. “That man began to kick the minnte he entered the office,” said the hotel clerk.

NICE ASPARAGUS DISHES. ‘This Delicate Vegetable May Be Used for Soup and Salad, Creamed and with Eres. | The Ladies’ World has an Inter esting article by Mary Foster Snider giving direction on how to cook aspar- agus in different ways and make sav. ory dishes. Attention {s called to the fact that difeuity 1s often experiencec in properly cooking this vegetable, 11 1s suggested by this writer that If the stalks are cut intd equal length and then stood vpright in the sauce ya after being immersed in water to two: thirds of the way to the tips so that the latter is cooked by the steam only, there 1s less danger of over cooking the tips while the butts are not un- derdone. A half hour cooking Is sal to be enough by this method, unlest the butts are unusually tough. Of course the coarse butts should always be removed, Asparagus Soup. — Wash a large bunch of asparagus, cut off the tps, cover the stalks with cold water, and boil five minutes, then drain.

PERMIT WAS BROAD ENOUGH ‘War-Time Reminiscence Illustrative of the Humor of President Lincoln, Mr. Linton Park, who is now an tn- mate of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ ‘home at Erie, Pa., was among those who joined in the chorus, “We are coming, Father Abraham, three hun- dred thousand more.” He enlisted at ‘Washington, and was assigned to the ‘Second District of Columbia regiment, relates Youth's Companion, Mr. Park was then, as now, a vege- tarian. While he could assimilate ev- erything connected with his answer to the call of duty from the stand of pa- trlotiam, he could not assimilate the army pork. It was plain that if the government wished to do the square thing by Park {t would have to show broad-mindedness in the matter of rations. So he took his troubles to President Lincoln, and explained that in some respects he was like the children of Israel after they set out from Egypt, He could not forget the leeks and ontons with which he was wont to re- gale himself back in Indiana county. Lincoln smiled. “You want me to turn you out to graze like Nebuchad- nezzar?” he asked. “It would beat salt pork,” was Mr. Park's reply. Thereupon Mr. Lincoln wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet of paper: “The bearer, Linton Park, 1s here- with granted permission to browse wherever he chooses.” Mr. Park saw the humor tn the note, and enjoyed it quite as much as Lin- colm did. He also enfoyed his privt- lege of “browsing.” The note Is stil) fo his possession. THEN HE FELT STREAKED. Hubby Was Too Obliging When ‘There Wasn’t Any Occa- gion for It A gentleman and his wife were sit- ting in one of the front rows in a the- ater. On the foor the man saw a large hat-pin with an amber head. The Chi- cago Daily News tells what he did with it. Looking about him, he saw that two women and their escorts had just sat down. To one of the women he presented the pin. A shake of the head Indicated that he had made a mistake. Then he tried two ladies across the alsle, They seemed to be interested. The pin was a curiosity, and its amber of a unique carving. ‘They hesitated, but handed the pin back. Desperately, he began the search anew. Two ladies unattended seemed likely owners. To them also he showed the pin, ‘They took tt and en- Joyed Its pattern, Just then the man felt a tug on his sieeve. It was his wife, and she re- marked, “Why are you showing my hat-pin to strangers?” Blushing, he went over to the la- dies, who were still looking at the pin, and explained, “Tt's my wife's pin,” he sald, but in gnch consciously guilty accents that the women handed tt back with doubte | ing smiles. Willine to Oblice. “Give me the efty hall, Dleage.” sald the lady to the conductor of the street car, “T should be glad to do so, madam,” replied the conductor, who was a new man and had been greatly impressed by the rules of the company, which Iinsistea upon employes being courte- ous and obliging. “I should, indeed, be glad to do so, but the lady over there with the green feather In her ‘hat asked for the elty hall before you got on the car.

The change in health began in a few days and sur- prised me, and now, although T am seventy-two years of age, I do lots of hard work, and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day besides loading and un- loading the wagon, That's what Pos- tum in the place of coffee has done for me. I now like the Postum as well as I did coffee. “I have known people who did not care for Postum at first, but after hay- ing learned to make it properly accord- {ng to directions they have come to like it as well as coffee. I never miss a chance to praise it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look for the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. AILING WOMCN.

A Fine Natural Rouge, a Face Bleach- ener, and All-Round Desirable, Cosmetic. ‘The most natural looking rouge ts obtained from the Juice of the straw- berry. Strawberries have long formed a basis for many excellent cosmetics, Strawberry bloom is acquired by rubbing a crushed or cut strawberry lightly over the face. Just how much bloom you want must regulate the manipulation of the berry, At all events, it should not leave any of the pulp or fruit fiber on the face, and the process is to pass the berry over the cheeks as swiftly, evenly and lightly as possible, leaving a pink blush that really defles the most critical eye. ‘The strawberry has excellent bleach- ing properties and will usually coun- teract the effect of sun or wind expo- sure. It was originally used for this ath ei 3 ay a f $ u a \ AN AGW (| purpose, but the bloom it left to the cheeks was found so much more nat- ural looking than most carmine prep- arations, that it is now to supplant ordinary rouge in many cases. So when ordering strawberries and cream, in case you feel that you are looking pale, furtively extract one berry from the delicious heap and, when no one is looking, rub it over your cheeks. Of course for those to whom straw- berries are polsonous, the preparations containing them are certainly not to be recommended. Even in beauty cul- ture and the adherence to fads, one's common sense should not be shelved. For the average mortal who enjoys strawberries and new experiments the following methods of using those de- lictous berries will prove interesting and probably beneficial, To give color to the cheeks brush the berry over it. The riper the berry the redder the color. Fortunately the tnt contains just enough of the yellow in it to look absolutely natural, and there is no blue tinge which so often appears When rouge powder is applied to the skin, A more complicated way of getting strawberry rouge is to place about a quart and a half of berries in a fruit far, together with half a pint of water. Set the jar in a saucepan of water over a slow fire and bail for two hours. Strain carefully, and when cold add pure alcohol, six ounces; best Russian isinglass (dissolved) 15 grams. Keep this closely stopped and in a dark place. If the color fades, add a little pure carmine, For the woman who is annoyed by the ofly excretions which exude from the pores of her face nothing ts het- ter than a slightly astringent toilet vinegar of strawberries. ‘This s made of half a pint of crushed strawberries and the same amount of white wine vinegar. Allow this to macerate for 24 hours—then press and strain and add four ounces of rose water. FOR BEAUTY'S TOILET. The Various Articles That Should Have Place on My Lady's Bath- 906m: Dresser, From the shelves of your bathroom dresser, all ready for the beauty bath, there should be these articles: A plece of soap kept dry in a silver foap case, covered and hinged to pre vent the cover from becoming lost.

A two-ounce bottle of the compound tincture of benzoin One bottle of aromatic bath vinegar. An ounce bottle of scented ammonia, A half gallon bottle of bath perfume, A bag of sen salt and a bag of pine needles and also a bag of dried herbs and another of salt. A jar of cucumber lotion, either homemade or bought at the drug store. Several jars of cold cream, which should include a wrinkle cream, a tan lotion, something for rough cuticle and a regular retiring cream, A complete set of manicure and toilet instruments, including the new sponges, rubber and mineral, the fa otal scrubbing brushes and the various bath conventences. ‘Hot Water Bac.

FOR THE EEAUTY BATH. First, Take Cleansing and Rinsing Baths, Then Use Aromatic Bath for Refreshing and Perfume. When you are taking a beauty bath do not make the miswke of takime it either too cold or too hot. Individual preierence is everything. If you pre- jer a medium bath by all means trke it. People are entitled to their pecull- arities and you can't mold one person's heels to those of another, You must take the kind of bath which is best suited to you, Supposing that you have decided np- on the tepid bath. And supposing that you have drawn the water and have softened it with borax and have made it still softer with oatmeal, You are now ready for your plunge. Perhaps it would have been well to Mention among the requirements of the Leauty bath a good soap shaker ‘The soap can be taken out of its case and put ina soap shaker, This 1s avt- tated in the water until a thick lather is formed. The water can scarcely be too soapy providing the soup 1s good and agreeable to the skin, The length of time of the beauty bath depends upon one’s habits, The average person can take a bath in 15 minutes, ‘Those who are very stout should be contented with less, Water, if too deep, too hot or too long con- tinued, will make a stout person tec! shaky around the heart. In the beauty bath there must be a food scrubbing, and particularly should the face he scrubbed. But one must use discretion along with the brush. If the skin be rubbed off the complexion will be ruined for many weeks to come. The face scrubbing brush should, therefore, be very soft and used gently. Scrub you must, but not with vigor. All the beauty baths should termin. ate with a good rinsing. The idea ot washing In soap is all right if the soap be washed off. It is necessary tc rinse not once or twice, but a great many times. Those who take the beau- ty baths of Berlin go through a rinsing which removes all the soap and dirty water from the skin, In Paris they put perfume in the final water so tha: the bather comes out very fragrant. If one has rheumatism, or the blues, the final bath should be fragrant with |pine needles. These act directly upor the nerves. The action of the pine and | the odor is very good for the spirits | Those who have a bad complexion car |try the benzoinated bith, Some bon- zoin is put m the witer—just enough (to make It milky, ‘This is one of the “best known baths for the skin, For s tired person the aromatic bath ts best and for this one wants to put in a eny of the best bath vinegar. One can take a bath of this deseription every day |during the shopping season or when one is very tired. ‘The beauty baths of Paris are for re | freshment. ‘The tired beauty restores [her looks and her nerves in this way ‘The baths of Berlin, on the other hand are for the sick, and dyspeptie, the rheumatic and the convalescent, ‘The beauty bath, however and for what: ever it may be taken, fs a sclentific achtevement and should be so viewed “by those who want to indulge in it.
