STARKS, Supreme Chancellor. Reflections of a Bachelor. The best way to be happy is to pretend that you are. Men would use more swear words than they do if there were any more. The thing that makes a man like a woman is he can never tell why. A girl has to have mighty red hair for her mother ever to admit it is more than light golden. When a girl shows a photograph of herself, it is a sign she expects you to make her give it to you. J. R. Thompson, who recently graduated from the Mahara Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., will now engage in the practice of medicine with his brother, Dr. S. H. Thompson of the West Side. If the young doctor proves himself as capable of coping with the conditions as his older brother, the west side will be proud to acquaintance in these professional men two of the ablest Negro physicians in the state of Kansas. INDEPENDENCE NOTES. Do not borrow the Rising Son, but subscribe for it, it is only $1.50 a year. Miss Louella Baker of Excelsior Springs spent a few days in our city last week. The picnic given by the U. B. F. the Fourth was well attended and they cleared the small sum of $40. If the Macedonian church allow their preacher in charge to continue with the services, they are no better than their pastor. Rev. Bray of Colorado lectured to the members and friends of Allen League at the A. M. E. church Sunday evening. His lecture was quite instructive and appreciated by all present. If the men of the community are going to allow one man to come to Independence and destroy all of the girls, and do not use their brain or influence we hope and pray, that the women will take the matter in hand. The report about a certain preacher persuading several girls to Kansas City from this place is true, but we hope the one he persualel off last week will be his last one, and we are quite sure if the girl's mother gets to see him that he will not live to destroy another.

Grand Chancellor Knight of Pythias. The above cut is a splendid likeness of Mr. A. W. Lloyd to whom the Order of the Knights of Pythias is indebted for its present flourishing condition. Mr. Lloyd became a member of the Mound City Lodge, No. 4. of St. Louis, Mo., in June, 1885, since which time he has worked with unceasing energy to the end that the Knights of Pythias might become one of the greatest orders in this section of the country. The efforts of Mr. Lloyd in this instance has ben magnificently rewarded and the fraternity has in more ways than one evi- J. W. Jones, manager of the K. C. Embalming and Casket Co., has established a branch house in Leavenworth, Kan. A baby boy arrived at the home of Dr. and Mrs. S. H. Thompson Sunday, July 1st. Mother and baby are doing well. Mrs. Sarah Ann Burdette who has been visiting her old home in Kentucky, returned last week well pleased with her visit. Mr. Harvey Tompkins of Oskaloosa, Kan., is visiting in Kansas City, Kan., having recently married Miss Mabel Jones of Oskaloosa. deduced to him its profound gratitude. Mr. Lloyd was elected Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pyhlas in Kansas City at the session of the Grand Lodge in July, 1900. He was given the honor of the Supreme Representative from Missouri at the Supreme Lodge sessions held at Columbus, Ohio, Jacksonville, Fla., and Pittsburg, Pa. He filled this station with honor and credit. Mr. Lloyd has had charge of the organization department of the K. of P. since July 1900 at which time the membership in his jurisdiction was 650. He outlined his plan of action There was a reception and ball given at the K. T. Hall, 11th and Washington Wednesday evening in honor of the college students. Messrs. George Madison and Wm. Penn entertained the young folks at Mrs. Williams, 1369 North 10th street, in honor of Misses Cooper and Nicholas. Rev. Wm. Bowen of Ft. Scott has been called to take charge of the First Baptist church, North 5th street, and will be installed the first Sunday in August. Mrs. Ida Lawrence has arrived from Wyoming to nurse her mother, Mrs. NUMBER 2 K. of P. sions of Negro Pythians of 27. and began his campaign in the interest of the order. It was his purpose to convince the Negroes of Missouri that Pythianism was a doctrine worthy of thought and attention. Again his efforts are rewarded to the extent that in six years he has increased the membership to more than 4,000. The order of the Knights of Pythias is in a splendid condition, financially and otherwise. Many of the best and most noted Negroes in the state of Missouri are members of the order. Grand Chancellor Lloyd may well feel proud of the good showing and result of his efforts. Cora Taylor of 116 Parallel avenue, who suffered a concussion of the brain, due to a fall from a street car The Forum which meets every Sunday at the Metropolitan Church rendered a very interesting program Sunday and will continue to do so. Mr. Henderson, as president, is making it quite a success. Douglass Hospital is making upward strides under the able management of Rev. A. M. Ward. Bishop Grant hopes to make this hospital one of the best in the country. Arrangements have been made to begin work on the new addition in a few days. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN The Over-Ambitious Girl --- BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER (Copyright, 1986 by Joseph B. Bowles) Is there such a thing as useless knowledge, knowledge which is in itself rubbish, only fit to be stowed away in the lumber room of the mind? I suppose teachers will take exception to the statement, but I am more and more inclined to think that a great deal that they laboriously teach, and schoolgirls laboriously learn, might as well be dropped wholly out of the curriculum. We are all aware that what remains to us a few years after we have finished our school education is, so far as facts are concerned, excessively small. What the schools have done, if they have wrought well, has been to give us mental facility and disciplined powers. The question is pertinent whether for girls they do this in the best way. What ought you, a schoolgirl, to acquire in order to be prepared for your work in life? It depends, of course, somewhat on your future. If you are to earn your bread by the toil of hands or brain, you must be taught application, concentration, perseverance and punctuality. Without these good working qualities, no girl will succeed in any trade, from dressmaking to novel-writing. Woman's great weakness lies in the direction of inattention, inconsequence and irresponsibility, and these defects hamper her in the world of business and fatally retard her progress. The schools should cultivate in girls these forceful and indispensable qualities, as part of the equipment for fighting the world-battle. If arithmetic, algebra and geometry, or Latin and French, or physics and economics are best calculated to promote this sort of mental and moral growth, by all means let our young girls study them. But one young girl should not have to spend all her time and all her strength during the golden years of school and college work in mastering them all. For the practical purposes of life the schools attempt too much and crowd it into too short a time, in the education of girls. Schoolgirls are naturally aspiring and ambitious. They respond swiftly to the spur of an enthusiastic teacher's desires. They are always ready to undertake anything that is suggested and to work until the point of exhaustion. I am not speaking of the idle or the inert or the apathetic type of girlhood, but of girlhood in the mass, when I assert that it does not hold back from the pace that kills. Boys cannot easily be pressed beyond a certain mark. Girls see the mark and try to go beyond it. And in so doing they often accumulate a lot of useless and worthless knowledge which never does them or anyone else a particle of good, and which might better be let alone, especially as it gathers dust and rust in forgotten pigeon-holes. If a girl is to spend her maturity as a home-maker, as a home daughter, or later as a wife, or a mother, she requires not so much an enormous amount of erudition as whatever tends to promote common sense, self-restraint and genuine kindness, and to eliminate egosm. Women at home must be altruistic. Then, too, a girl who would shine in the home and hold her own in society must have culture and charm. If the schools help to form her character on strong and simple lines and to give her courage as well as sweetness, they do more for her than if they enable her to pass puzzling examinations on multiform difficult subjects. --- Proper Style For Baby's Card The Size of the Card Announcing Baby's Arrival and the Inscription Thereon. For the announcement of his birth, the boy has cards about two and one-fourth inches in length by one and one-eighth inches in width. His full name is engraved directly in the center, either early English, plain English, or French script, being selected, in accordance with that used on the cards of the parents, with which it is enclosed. Down in the left-hand corner is written out in full: Master William Thomas Carlyle, July the fifteenth. Danger From His Own Bayonet Danger From His Own Bayonet The report of dissection in the Russian army is plausible and very ominous. In the last analysis the stability of the ruling dynasty depends upon the loyalty of the troops and there has been no display of leadership that could make one welcome armed revolution. In the very nature of the case things are uneasy in the army. The rank and file is recruited from the fields and city tenements— Far be it from me to blame either girls or their preceptors for the great and foolish waste that is forever taking place in matters educational. Primarily parents are the people most in fault. The other day an advertisement appeared in a widely read weekly periodical, which ran to the following effect. The words are not precisely quoted, but here is the gist of the advertiser's "Wanted:" "To take entire charge of a little girl of ten, a young woman who is a college graduate. She must be fond of children, in robust health, and between the ages of 25 and 30. Must have had experience in similar positions and be able to furnish the highest references. She must be familiar with modern methods of teaching, and besides the usual branches, her work will include music, drawing and nature study." The mother of the little maid of ten evidently expected that her child was to tackle music, drawing and nature study in addition to the "usual branches." These, at a rough guess, may have been history, geography, English grammar, spelling, reading, penmanship, and possibly French or German. I was surprised that so grasping a mother did not require the college graduate who should apply for the vacancy as her daughter's governess to be an accomplished cook and an adept in manual training, so that her child might receive initiation in these mysteries too. The mother who advertised was laying out too wide a plan for her daughter, and was demanding an impossibility of some unfortunate young woman of 25. The average age of the college alumna is 22. To have gone over the work prescribed in an ordinary college course, likewise to have attained distinction enough in music and art to instruct in these exacting departments, and to have learned the alphabet of nature study would be feats of herculean achievement that would send a girl to a sanitarium or her grave. To look for robust health after all that effort would be absurd, and as for the experience in actual teaching, where would be the time for it? The advertisement is a straw that shows where the wind blows to. Girls, what you need and must have, at any cost, is a good working knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic; some love for and acquaintance with good literature, and this springs from good reading; the accuracy and clearness which come of writing a good hand, and the honesty which is the product of fair mindedness and well balanced arithmetic. Don't be persuaded to spend precious hours on studying sciences that do not allure you, and annoying to memory vocabularies which signify nothing to you. But for pity's sake learn to spell, learn to write a decent, straightforward letter, and learn to converse not only fluently, but correctly, in clear, well-chosen English. Avoid useless learning. Life is too full to be handicapped by needless impedimenta. Time is too brief to be mortgaged to ambition. Health is too precious to be ruthlessly sacrificed. One or two subjects thoroughly assemblated are worth far more to culture than a mere smattering of a dozen, and the effect of the first on character is much more enduring than of the second. I wish I could convince every schoolgirl that thoroughness in little is a higher virtue than diffuse-ness spread loosely over large things. Attempt less and gain more should be your rule. One thousand little hundred and six or the words, "At home on rainy days," may be used in the lower left-hand corner, and the date of birth left entirely out. The latter is most used for baby girl's cards; it is not always permissible to have so definite a reminder of her birth-date, after years have passed. These cards are attached by tiny ribbon bows at the top and center of the larger card, which should always be engraved with the names of both father and mother. The address is added written out in full. For a boy pink ribbon and blue for the girl is chosen. New Gloves. The new chamois finished lisle thread gloves are such a good imitation that they look like the real skin. They are quite reasonable in price. from the classes most stirred by the political unrest; it is officered by the gentry—a class already on the defensive and increasingly unpopular. Unless Nicholas II. takes a prompt and masterful control of the situation he may find that the bayonets on which his throne now rests are turned against him. The omen of the saluting gun accidentally loaded with grapeshot is worth remembering. New Gloves UTTERLY WORN OUT. Vitality Sapped by Years of Suffering with Kidney Trouble. Capt. J. W. Hogun, former postmaster of Indianola, now living at Austin Texas, writes: "I was afflicted for years with pains across the loins and in the hips and shoulders. I had headache also and neuralgia. My right eye from pain, was of little use to me for years. The Texas, writes "was afflicted for years with pains across the loins and in the hips and shoulders. I had headache also and neuralgia. My right eye from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant flow or urine kept my system depleted, causing nervous chills and night sweats. After trying seven different climates and using all kinds of medicines, I had the good fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy has cured me. I am as well today as I was twenty years ago, and my eyesight is perfect." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. ALL TRUE. Too many bills are apt to make a man feel billous. The fools are not all dead. In fact, a lot of them haven't been born. Joy cometh in the morning—unless you've been making a night of it. It's a mistake to marry too young, but it's a mistake that isn't repeated. A woman is never quite happy with a man who refuses to argue with her. Many an unsuccessful man would rather preserve his dignity than hustle. It is better to have too little confidence in yourself than too much in others. We are told that love levels all things, but often it seems like an uphill fight. To indulge in the things we can't afford is the average man's idea of pleasure. Life is like a game of cards, in which a good deal depends upon a good deal. The fellow who is always under a cloud reminds me of nothing so much as a borrowed umbrella. The Salvation Army. according to its regular custom, is making arrangements to look after the needs of the poor during the hot summer months. These include "Fresh Air Camp," "Penny Ice," and Free Outings" for the poor. The Camp, which opens on June 29th and closes the end of August, will be held near Swope Park. Large batches of poor women and children will be taken every Friday, each batch remaining one week. A plentiful supply of good, wholesome food will be given, and every arrangement made for their comfort and enjoyment. This is a noble work, and one which is well worthy of the support of the general public. Donations for the same should be addressed to Colonel T. W. Scott, 1300 Walnut St, Kansas City, Mo. PROVERBS AND PHRASES. He who would gather honey must bear the sting of bees.—From the Dutch. When you make de jail too nice you better strenkln de hogpen.—American Negro.

The distinction of being the oldest living thing undoubtedly belongs to one of four trees. A century ago De Canbolle found two yews, one at Fortingal, in Perthshire, and one in Hedson, in England, that were estimated to be, respectively, 2,500 and 3,240 years old. Both are still flourishing, and the older tree has a trunk 27 feet round. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. The parson was talking to little Elmer about his habits, and asked him what time he was usually called for breakfast. "They don't have to call me," answered Elmer. "I'm always Johnny-on-the-spot." Give Defiance Starch a fair trial—try it for both hot and cold starching, and if you don't think you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

Which Pieces Are Designed— Points About a Bedroom. The most comfortable chairs should be placed where there will be a good light for reading, by artificial light, if the room is to be used mostly in the evening, and if it is to be used as a morning room, center the attractions near the windows. A table where magazines or needlework can be laid down should be placed near a chair, not away off in a corner where they have no value. Again, tables should be selected that will not topple over if anyone passes quickly through the room. A large room is much easier to arrange than a small one, as suitable furniture can be arranged in such a manner that several groups of people can be entertained without the conversation being overheard by those near them. How many old-fashioned houses have the chairs set in stiff array around the walls, with long sofas on either side, so that a chair has to be drawn up for the occupant to converse with the victim on the sofa. It is not necessary to have to drag chairs around to make the room inviting, and these points should be borne in mind when it is furnished. In furnishing a bedroom we have fewer to consider. The bureau must be where the light is good in the daytime as well as by artificial light. The bed should be placed in such a way that the light will not strike the eyes in the early morning. This is not always easy to arrange, as frequently bedrooms have windows on two or more sides. In such cases it is well to have an extra shade of dark green on the window that throws light on the bed. Nowadays nobody that knows anything about furnishing fastens their curtains with loops. They should hang in soft, straight folds, and the up-to-date woman shortens her curtains if they have been made in the days when half a yard extra was allowed for looping.—Chicago 'inter Ocean. HOW TO KEEP A HAT NICE It Must Be as Religiously Brushed as One's Clothes—How to Freshen Trimming. A good hat should be well cared for, to keep it looking fresh. Not only must the hat itself be brushed carefully, but the trimming must be gone over; bows pulled up into shape, loose petals glued into flowers, and loose threads tightened. - Flowers and leaves should be carefully wiped with a soft cloth; when colored flowers fade they can often be touched up with water-color paints and a camel's hair brush. Most hats now have trimming arranged under the brim, and they should always be raised up on a block or stand when put away, to avoid crushing. It is especially necessary to observe this care with a hat having a maline ruche under the brim at the back, says the Rural New Yorker. This material is quite perishable, and is likely to become very "mussy" after a short period of wear, unless handled carefully. We clean, soiled white straw hats with oxalic acid, scrubbing with a toothbrush, and sopping up the moisture with a soft cloth, to avoid staining the straw. The acid burns colored straw, turning it in ugly red, so care must be exercised if cleaning a hat in which white and colored straw are combined. Copper Waste Basket the newest waste basket is a most artistic thing. It is of copper, burnished and polished to a high degree of luster, and showing in the front an inset of jade in large irregular form. The combination of the green tone of the ornament and the ruddy hue of the copper is most effective. One particular waste paper receptacle on this order was originally intended as a glorified coal hod, but a woman whose sense of fitness protested against the introduction of a willow basket in a richly furnished apartment where copper found the proper background, turned the coal hod to new use, and her example has been imitated by other women, who declare that there is an informal aspect about a willow basket that is not in keeping with the furnishings of certain rooms. In these copper receptacles there is an inner box of sheet iron, which is lifted out when the papers are to be disposed of. Furniture Polish. From Scotland comes this recipe for furniture polish, which might well be pasted in the scrapbook of every American housewife. All that polish can do to restore old, weatherbeaten household goods this will do, and much more than most put-up preparations can. Here is the formula: One cake beeswax, a cup of turpentine. Put beeswax in turpentine, let melt slowly. Remember that turpentine is highly inflammable, making it better to melt the mixture over a teakettle spout. If a flame is used this must be very low. When cold rub hard on the piece you wish to restore. Then rub with a piece of soft rag to polish. Summer Squash A very pleasing way to serve summer squash is as follows: Wash two of them, pare and cut in pieces about an inch square. Cook them in boiling salted water until tender. Drain in a colander, pressing hard to extract all the water, turn into a bowl, and mash perfectly smooth. Beat two eggs light and whip into them a small cupful of rich sweet milk and a tablespoon of melted butter. Beat this mixture into the squash, season with salt and pepper, and turn into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bits of butter and bake until firm. Attractive Colorado Booklet. One of the most attractive of the summer vacation booklets that have been issued is "A Colorado Summer," put out by the passenger department of the Santa Fe railroad. The picturesque mountain scenery and the descriptions of it which the booklet gives impress the reader with a new idea of the grandeur of the mountain crags of Colorado, and will start one day-dreaming of the time when he can view for himself the magnificence which the booklet describes. After reading the booklet one must certainly be convinced that Colorado offers both pleasure and health for every summer tourist. "A Colorado Summer" may be secured from Mr. W. J. Black, Pass. Traffic Manager, Santa Fe Railway, Chicago. BY THE WAY. Even a stingy person is always willing to give advice. No one is so prosperous that he can afford to malign other people. A desire to get even has often been the keynote of a man's success. Value of property is entirely a matter of whether somebody wants it. There are smaller dividends in the practice of hate than in any other occupation. It is hard to persuade a community that you are any better than your neighbors. A man does not really get old until he begins to feel secret pride in his infirmities. Every person imagines that his is a special case among the lills that affect mankind in general.—Uncle Dick, in Madison Journal. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Another Australian Experiment. Another Australian Experiment. Suitable farming land is provided by the Australian government for groups of men and their families that will ultimately form village settlements, but they are not to be cooperative—each settler, will stand or fall on his own merits. Government overseers will guide and instruct the settlers for two years, and the house erected for his use can be used as a public hall or school. Plain rations, implements, a small stock of cows, poultry, etc.; roofing material, water tanks, etc., will be supplied for the first year. This will be charged as a loan and must be eventually refunded to the state.

TROBENTON A MINOR ALLEN'S FOOT-EASY A Certain Cure for Tired, Not, Aching Fo DO NOT ACCEPT A SUBSTITUTE What is a Backache? IT IS NATURE'S WARNING TO WOMEN Diseases of Women's Organism Cured and Consequent Pain Stopped by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "It seems as though my back would break." Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, "bearing-down" pains, nervousness and no ambition for any task. Miss Maude Morris They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a diseased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the female organs to a healthy condition. "I have suffered with female troubles for over two years, suffering intense pain each month, my back ached until it seemed as though it would break, and I felt so weak all over that I did not find strength to attend to my work but had to stay in bed a large part of the first two or three days every month, I have sleepless nights, bad dreams and severe headaches. All this undermined my health. "We consulted an old family physician, who advised that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began taking it regularly and soon found that I could sleep and eat better than I had done for months. Within a week, I was able to suffer from backache or pain."—Miss Maude Morris, Sec.

May not go unchaperoned to any place of entertainment—concerts, theaters or exhibitions. May not accept expensive presents from a man to whom she is not engaged or who is bound to another girl. May not, under any circumstances, call at the house of a bachelor, this being one of the greatest breaches of etiquet. May not receive gentlemen visitors in her mother's absence, or take walks or drives with them unless they are relatives or old friends of the family. May not show encouragement to a man unless very sure that his feeling for her is something more than friendly; otherwise her advances would be unmaidenly. --- --- THE MAIDEN THE MUSEUM other of what we may term the Greater me from the ground up—and it is now the auditorium is frescoed in hand- lights are being installed.

When not in use, take off the foil and batting and put the stems in a glass of water which is slightly salted. The bunch should be kept in a cool room with tissue paper twisted over to exclude the air.

GRA General Committee of Arranger The seventh annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 29, 30 and 31. The Atlanta Negro Business League is well organized and is at work maturing plans for the proper entertainment of the hundreds of visitors who are expected. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare have already been secured from the Southeastern Passenger, the Trunk Line and the New England Passenger Association. Only one or two other lines to the far west are yet to concur in the arrangement. The program promises to be, as all of the League programs are, devoted to an intelligent discussion of those features of business development wherein the Negro people of the country are making progress. The Governor of the State of Georgia, the Mayor of the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce joined in the invitation asking that this session of the League be held it Atlanta, and everything will be done to make the visit of all who attend pleasant and satisfactory. Information with regard to reduced rates may be secured from C. F. Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 S St. N. W., Washington, D.

It's funny that the women's clothes that are never seen are mostly made for show. Marrying a woman who knows her own mind means marrying a woman with a wildcat temper. A woman can gain an awful lot of flesh without anybody discovering it except her corset maker. It's funny, but black haired women want their hair to be red and gray-haired women want theirs to be black. It costs more money to keep up your own family than it does to break up another man's—New York Press. Fashions in Paris In veils the finer the mesh the better; some are as filmy as a spider's web. The cut-away Louis XVI. coat with shoulder cape or capes is the prevailing fashion for cloth costumes. Ribbon velvet, frequently put on in a quilling made by double box-pleats, as was the fashion years ago, trims many of the newest gowns. Skirts are clinging to the hips, and are long, fully covering the feet. They have a decided flare at the base, but this does not begin until the knee. The newest type of the lace gown being made for Nice is the frock of wide openwork net, like a fish-net, much appliqued with raised mousse-line flowers and lace motifs and mounted over shimmering satin. The approved way of mucking up all diaphaneous fabrics, such as lace or mousseline, for evening gowns is with an interlining of chiffon or mousseline, with many fluffy little ruffles about the feet, this in turn being mounted over silk with one or more dust ruffles. Smart wraps are of white cloth, with a collar of sable and lining of pale gray satin and endless frills of white accordion-planted chiffon. The front is draped l'Empire and outlined with exquisitely wrought guipure or passementer around the short waist. A feature of these wraps is the large sleeves, edged with fur and made fluffy inside with chiffon and lace. Very elegant wraps for afternoon wear have collars of lace instead of fur.

Vice Consul Kinchant furnishes from Lisbon the census figures of Portugal taken in December, 1900, and just published. The population was 5,016,287, including the Azores. The percentage of illiteracy was 71 per cent. for the males and 85 per cent. for the females. The government, however, is bestirring itself on the educational question. The foreign residents in Portugal numbered 39, 384, of whom 66 were Americans. Easter Novelty. A novelty in Easter eggs is one of glass that is electrically lighted. Such eggs are made in white, of frosted glass and in various colors, to glow when the light is turned on in them. They are lighted by means of a flexible conductor which may be attached to any electric light fixture and which is made long enough to permit placing them wherever it may be desired. Burmese Wives. The Burmese woman must make an excellent wife. A Singapore paper says that her highest ambition is to maintain her husband in lordly idleness and to support him with abundant funds for cook fighting, bullock cart racing and gambling. And many of the Burmese women do big deals in timber, buying up in advance the "paddy" crops of a whole district, and so on, on a scale that requires big financing.

Disillusioned "Can't I get you another salad or something, Miss Marmaduke?" asked her indefatigable swain. The beautiful girl slowly shook her exquisite head.

War Bonnets of Nations According to a German military Journal, the British soldier wears a helmet which weighs nearly one and one-quarter pounds. The helmet of the Prussian infantryman weighs only a trivet over 14 ounces, while the Italian is still better off with a keppi, which turns the scale at between 11 and 12 ounces. Not a Contestant. An old negro in Atchison was asked which side he fought on during the civil war. The old man replied by asking: "Dye evah see two dawgs fightin' over a bone?" "Yes," was the reply.

Transformed by Love. A Christian grows lovely by just loving—by going on in love of Christ. It has been fabled from old times that the graceful swan was changed from a most ugly bird into its present beauty merely because of its constancy to its mate. But oh, how Christian fact is sure to outrun classic fable! The soul grows wondrously lovely by just loving, by pouring out its faithful affection, and all the more so when the object of its affection is the Lord Jesus Christ, the One altogether lovely. We behold His face, Jesus' face, as in a glass, and are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as the Spirit of the Lord. But the result is permanent. The soul gets more and more set in the way of holiness, in the beauty that holiness brings. "Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that if we shall be manifested we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him even as He is; and everyone that hath this hope set on Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.—Rev. G. B. F. Hallock, D. D. "Lo! It Is Nigh Thee." The surprise of life always comes in finding how we have missed the things that have lain nearest to us; how we have gone far away to seek that which was close by our side all the time. Men who live best and longest are apt to come, as the result of all their living, to the conviction that life is not only richer, but simpler than it seemed to them at first. Men go to vast labor seeking after peace and happiness. It seems to them as if it were far away from them, and if they must go through vast and strange regions to get it. They must pile up wealth, they must see every possible danger of mishap guarded against, before they can have peace. Upon how many old men has it come with a strange surprise that peace could come to rich or poor only with contentment as at the very end of life! They have made a long journey for their treasure, and when at last they stoop to pick it up. lo! it is shining beside the footprint which they left when they set out to travel in a circle—Phillips Brooks. Why Do We Condemn? Because another is "all wrong" is no reason for our condemning him. In the first place we cannot know that he is as unworthy as he may seem, and in the second place our own records are entirely too frail. No one of us would dare to be judged by our fellows strictly on our "merits"—the man who says or thinks he would is most to be pitied. And the failure in another that we are tempted to condemn harshly may be nearer victory than failure as God sees and knows. Earth sees the failures, because heaven sees the victories and the struggles. It was of heaven that Faber sang: There's no place where earthly failings Have such kindly judgment given. The only Man who never failed came not to condemn men, but to save them. Is it because we suppose that we can do better than He did to help others that we condemn so freely? Be All You Can. Let us do all the business we can. If we can't be a lighthouse, let us be a tallow candle. Someone said, "I can't be anything more than a farthing rushlight." Well, if you can't be more be that; that is well enough. Be all you can. What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, never giving out anything. You go every Sunday and hear good sermons and think that is enough. You are all the time receiving these grand truths but never give them out. When you hear it, go and scatter the truth abroad. Instead of having one minister to preach to a thousand people, this thousand ought to take a sermon and spread it till it reaches those that never go to church or chapel. Instead of having a few, we ought to have thousands using the precious talents that God has given them.—D. L. Moody. Don't Get Old.

"I abused my stomach, my blood got out of order and then my face broks out with pimples and boils," says T. E. Robertson, of 197 Addison street, Washington, Pa. "This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad shape. After eating I would have to rest awhile or I would suffer the most severe pains in my stomach. On arising I would often be so dizzy that I could hardly stand up. The alightest exertion would start my back aching so that I often had to sit down and rest awhile. At times I experienced a pain around the heart which alarmed me but which I suppose came from my stomach trouble. "I begin to break out on the face with pimples and later with boils which confined me to the house a week or more at a time. One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in a pamphlet which was left at the door and I thought I would give them a trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all the pimples and boils left me, but I am now glad to say that my blood is good I do not have any eruptions and I no longer have the head and stomach troubles I have described. I am very grateful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me and I have recommended them and always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them." If you want good health you must have good blood. Bad blood is the root of most common diseases like anemia, rheumaism, sciatica, neuralgia, St. Vitus'舞, nervousness, indigestion, debility, parial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c. per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y. CURIOS AND ODDITIES. Only one woman in 100 insures her life. Ellen Terry is passionately fond of cats. Sarah Bernhardt has a huge bed 15 feet long. Patti sleeps with a silk scarf about her neck. Brides in Australia are pelted with rose leaves. In stature Eskimo women are the shortcast on earth. No photographs are ever taken of women in China. A woman's brain declines in weight after the age of 30. In Africa wives are sold for two packets of hairpins. New York has 27,000 women who support their husbands. Drunkenness is rare, smoking common among Japanese women. BADGER PHILOSOPHY A man can't be unusually polite without being looked upon with suspicion. When the real nature of a man's business is in doubt it is often hinted that he is a gambler. A woman is never satisfied with herself until she has outdone her neighbor in some respect. It's hard to understand why actors with such fabulous salaries always stop at such modest hotels. Lots of people think they have been cheated unless they get more than their money's worth.-Milwaukee Sentinel. Wants International Observatory. Walters International Observatory Prof. Edward C. Pickering, of the Harvard 'observatory, proposes to establish an international observatory. His committee is to be composed of the eminent astronomers of the world, who are to raise a sum of money, have a gigantic telescope built and placed on the most suitable spot on earth, and all to go to work. Sunday School Teacher—I hope none of you boys will ever be found among the goats. Tommy Tucker—How can we help it, Miss Smathers? We're kids, sn't we? OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the Ill Effects of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It. A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make idafidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial of Postum in place of coffee proves the truth, an easy and pleasant way. "There's a reason." Look in pks. for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Good Jokes "How did Miss Dibbleson succeed in getting rid of the hair that persisted in growing on her upper lip?

Shattering Sentiment. "Ah, the bugler!" exclaimed the beautiful girl graduate. "Doesn't it always bring something to your mind to here the call of the bugle?"

Building for the Future. The pastor was looking at the plans for the new church. "It seems to me," he said, "the downward slope of the floor from the entrance doors to the chancel is altogether too pronounced. Viewed from the pulpit, the congregation will seem to be sitting in tiers." "That's my wife's idea," explained the architect. "She says it will obviate the necessity of requesting the women to take off their hats, and more of them will come to church."—Chicago Tribune. Its Prerogative. "You are charged," said the police justice, "with violating the smoke ordinance. What have you to say?" "I have not violated any ordinance, your honor," protested the accused. "My factory has a smoky chimney, it is true, but it has a right to have it." "On what ground?" "It's a tobacco factory, your honor." —Chicago Tribune. Not the Squeeze He Meant. A bashful young couple, who were evidently very much in love, entered a crowded tramcar the other day. "Do you suppose we can squeeze in here?" he asked, looking doubtful at her blushing face.

Twenty-six years of a successful business career as manager of the Blind Boone Concert Co., ranks Mr. Lange the oldest manager on the road. In viewing the present prosperous condition of the veteran showman, one would scarcely surmise the ups and downs and reverses with which Mr. Lange has had to battle in the early days of his career. One could hardly conjecture that at one time he was compelled to pawn his shoes that he might secure money with which to dispatch a business telegram. This instance of hard luck occurred in Boonsboro, Iowa, in 1883. Sleeping in the depot and washing his face in a rain barrel because he did not possess the price of more seeming accommodations form a bit of memory of what have proved a total failure for him had he not possessed great courage and strong determination to overcome obstacles. Another interesting bit of history in connection with Mr. Lange brings out the fact that he made his first start in the woods. As told in his own language, the first house he ever went into, he cut the logs in the morning, hauled them on the site with a yoke of oxen, built the house, and moved into it the same night. The scene of this struggle was in Columbia. Mo. But the untiring persistency paved the way to a bright dawn which today is a happy realization of his early stuggle. We are pleased to produce hereon the cuts of some of the choice residences owned by Mr. Lange. We would be pleas d to present more of them if space permitted. The Son has devoted this page to Mr. Lange with a superficial history of his career more in order to show our readers that nothing is accomplished without great effort and determination. The magnificent success of Mr. Lange is not so much the result of easy money but rather the consequences of early struggles to get a start and this accomplished, his fortune was assured.
