Those intending to be present should acquaint themselves with th erules and regulations of the institution and should arrange if possible to be here on the opening day. Attention is especially invited to the following governing regulations: Ladies and gentlemen, these are not the only things we have to teach the race. We must learn to value time. We must remember that each hour is a golden jewel set with sixty diamonds, and when lost it is gone forever. WE MUST NOT LOSE TIME. We must put aside what one writer has, called "virtuous vices," such as the use of tobacco, giving something. Young people, you must Then the Negro must learn to do costly entertainments, spending much on mere amusement. take the advice of that friend of Emerson: "BE NOT SIMPLY GOOD; BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING." Learn to do something well. Remember Paul said: "This one thing I do," and Paul made a success of his life. Don't scatter your energies. If you are a preacher don't waste your enthusiasm on everything else and leave your sermons dry as a sponge. Put your life into your lifework, whatever it is—teacher, lawyer, or any other calling. Do you know what made Choate such a great lawyer? He used to say he always set himself first to carry the jury. He moved heaven and earth to carry the jury and then he said he could easily fight it out with the judges on the law question. My young friends, we must work along all lines to one end, and let us move the juries every where. It is true that we have no such friends today as Charles Sumner, Gerrit Smith, Salmon P. Chase, Willia Lloyd Garrison, Thaddens Stevens and the immortal Abraham Lincoln. They dared to stand out before the world to defend our cause and fight our battles. Our sympathizers today are not of such fiber as these men. They have grown cold. Then we must hold to high ideas of honor and right living. As individuals and as a people we must condemn outrages wherever found. The guilty ones must not be shielded, but we must call with a clear, loud call for execution of all justice according to the magesty of the law. We must make no compromise with evil. The Negro must have respect for the women of his race—the same respect and honor that the white man shows to his womanhood. We must honor our women and guard their honor. We must compel this respect from others. Home life must be made higher and nobler. Be tender and thoughtful toward your family, I say. Be proud of your families. I thank God we have families of which to be proud. There are many homes and families among our people where as fine a home life, where much tenderness and devotion, as much courtesy and respect may be found as among the best of the Caucasian race. Above all, we must cultivate the true Christian spirit. Our religion, if possible, must be better than that of our white friends. I must say that if the religion as shown by so many professing white Christians means the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is enough to make infidels of the whole Negro race. But my faith in Christ is rooted too deep for me to believe that the true Christian spirit ever lets one person so malign, so abuse and persecute another as the Negro is maltreated by so-called Christians. There is certainly a lack of the saving grace of true Christianity where such un-Christ-like actions are found. HOW LONG, O LORD, HOW LONG, WE ASK THEE, ARE WE TO BE THE VICTIMS OF SUCH CHRISTIAN DEALINGS! WHY MAKE TEXT-BOOK CHANGES NOW. The State of Missouri is full of agents who are importuning boards of education to change the textbooks in the schools. It seems almost incredible that reputable publishing houses should be so unmindful of the conditions existing in Missouri as to seek to persuade intelligent people to make changes now. with the meeting of the Legislature only a few months ahead. Mose Green, the waiter at the Baltimore hotel who desteried his wife, has been located in St. Louis. It was later found out that he eloped with a well-known character of this city by the name of Ella King. These things are continually happening in this city. Society should turn against. Society should also warmly commend the actions of the hotel waiters in sending this poor woman to her home. Such actions will reap their own reward. KANSAS CITY, MO., THURSDAY, AUG. 30, 1906. OSAWATOMIE CELEBRATES. It Is the Semi-Centennial of John Brown's Battle. Special Trains-Federal Troops-Old Settlers' Associations-A Free Barbecue and Speeches. Osawatomie, Kan., Aug. 30.—The semi-centennial celebration of the battle of Osawatomie opened Wednesday morning with the booming of guns, ringing of bells, and flag raising at the battle grounds, which was saluted by the two troops from Fort Rilley. The troops then gave an exhibition drill on the battle ground, which was witnessed by a vast crowd which had gathered. The battle was fought 50 years ago Thursday. Special trains arrived from Ottawa and Paola, where connection is made with the Frisco and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. The roads leading to the city were lined with teams from early morning and the streets were a jam of moving humanity. The members of the Second District Editorial association met Wednesday afternoon at the auditorium on the battle ground. Judge E. H. Wilson, of Paola, a native of Miami county, acted as chairman and Charles F. Scott, of Iola, delivered the address, after which an experience meeting was held, giving all the early settlers an opportunity to address the crowd. Four of the survivors of the battle, R. W. Wood, of Kansas City; Robert Sherar, of this county; A. Bondi and Robert Parsons, of Abilene, are here and will deliver addresses. MISSOURIANS SURRENDERED. Railroad Officials Demanded the Removal of Bryan Banner from Their Special Train. Buffalo, Aug. 30.—Two hundred members of the Jefferson club of Missouri arrived here Wednesday en route for New York, where they will take part in the reception to William J. Bryan. Former Governor D. A. Ball is with the party. When the special Wabash train on which the Missourians are traveling was turned over to the New York Central the railroad officials demanded the removal of a huge banner from the side of the train. The banner reads: "Welcome to Bryan." The rules of the road, it was explained, prohibited the placing of a banner on the side of a passenger train. The Missourians protested against the removal of their banner and refused to allow the railroad employees to take it down. The train was sent into the yards and held until late Wednesday afternoon when the banner was finally removed and the train proceeded on its journey to New York. Bank Notes Have Short Lives. An official estimate of the life of Bank of England notes is from ten to 60 days. They are retired and replaced as soon as they become soiled and worn, if the bank can get possession of them. False Precious Stones. Diamonds, pearls and turquoises are the precious stones best imitated. False rubles and sapphires, on the other hand, may be detected with ease. Beards as a Sign of Mourning In ancient Rome men only grew beards as a sign of mourning. In Egypt all went clean shaven, but in Assyria only the slaves and peasants shaved. For the Home Dressmaker. Have a little bag hung up on the inside of the sewing machine frame at the left hand to receive clippings that so quickly accumulate when working at the machine. Britain Remembers Hero. A statue of Gen. Nicholson, the mutiny hero, was recently unveiled at Delhi by Lord Minto, the viceroy of India. TO GIRDLE THE GLOBE TO GIRDLE THE GLOBE TWO ILLINOIS BOYS BEGIN LONG TRIP ON BICYCLES. Expect to Be Gone Three Years on Journey—Will Celebrate New Year in Africa—Speak Five Foreign Languages. St. Louis.—When George E, Holt and Lester R. Crentz, of Moline, Ill., sailed for Liverpool the other day there was begun one of the most pretentious globe-girdling expeditions ever attempted. These two men propose to literally ride all over the face of earth on bicycles. Time is no object in this long journey, and it is expected that not less than three years will be necessary. The first stage of cycling will begin at Liverpool, from whence they expect to tour England and Scotland, crossing to Ireland, and proceeding southward to the coast, where they will sail for the continent. Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Sweden will be the first countries visited in the order named. From Stockholm they will ride toward St. Petersburg, and from there they will turn southward and pass through Germany, France and Spain. They expect to celebrate New Year's Day of 1907 somewhere in the northern part of Africa, and if revolutionary troubles do not interfere will visit Tripoll, Algeria and Morocco. That the journey will be no child's play is evidenced by the itinerary from Morocco. From here they will ride over the shifting sands of the great Sahara desert to Timbucto. By this time another spring will have come, and the tourists will proceed northward to Sicily, thence up the Italian peninsula, and on up through Europe in a line parallel to that taken on its descent, making a turn eastward to take in Turkey and Greece; thence to Egypt, through the Holy Land and down to the Red sea, and cycling around the Indian peninsula, touching at Ceylon. From there they intend to go to Malay, Turmay, Slam and Singapore. Sumatra and Borneo are the next stopping places. After studying conditions in the Philippine islands, Japan will be seen, from whence the homeward journey will be undertaken, making a stop at Hawaii, and finally landing at San Francisco. Crentz and Holt will carry recommendations from the governors of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Oregon, Connecticut, Kansas and Florida, one of the most important of their credentials being from Hon. S. M. Culom, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, which insures many favors being extended them by foreign consuls. Speak Five Foreign Languages. Both Crentz and Holt are members of the National Geographical society, and carry letters to every society of importance in the world. They speak German, French, Swedish, Spanish and Italian fluently, so that they will have no liquistic troubles while in Europe. While making preparations for their journey in New York they joined the Roy Wheelmen, whose emblem they will wear, and which they will carry in lands here no cycling club's emblem has been carried before. Telephone Operator's Death. Telephone operator Omaha, Aug. 30—Lena Jeffries, a telephone operator, 23 years of age, in the employ of the Nebraska Telephone company, was killed early on Wednesday by falling from the third story of the Douglas street exchange building. Miss Jeffries was in the rest and cloak room, which is located on the third floor and which has a glass floor. One of the sections of glass was cracked. The young woman stepped on this defective portion and was precipitated to the basement, killing her almost instantly. Nature's Wise Provision. Every year a layer of the entire sea 14 feet thick, is taken up into the clouds; the winds bear their burden into the land and the water comes down in rain upon the fields, to flow back through rivers. MOONLIGHT SOCIAL POSTPONED. On account of the rain last Saturday evening the moonlight social which was to have been given by the B. M. C. Club of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows at the residence of Mrs. W. L. Beattie, 31st and Kensington, has been postponed until Saturday evening, September 8th. All members and friends of the Order are cordially invited. Music will be furnished by the Metropolitan Band. To reach the place take Indiana avenue car to the end of line, (31st street), go east on 31 st street four blocks. The Pythian Court, Excelsior No. 144, has renounced its allegiance to the E. W. and N. of that order and has gone with the Five Grand Division. Out of forty members, thirty-five went to the other side. The most serious part was the carrying of the charter and banner to Mrs. Nettie Nix, G. W. C. This movement will be the cause of other lodges and courts going over to the other order of Pythians. The trouble arose over the very shabby and rough treatment received at the grand session at the hands of the present grand worthy counselor. The five remaining members of the court were all candidates for worthy counsel, Mrs. Celia Robinson, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Mildred Mott who was very desirous of having it, however Mrs. Alexander received the honors, as she had the majority vote. THE NEW HEAD WAITER OF THE BALTIMORE. The intention of this article is to bring before the public gaze a young man who has worked himself like all negroes from mere nothing to the honorable position which he occupies. Mr. Charles Washington was born on a farm in Carrollton, Mo., 30 years ago. After working in the dining car service, he served as third and second waiter alongside with Mr. McKnight. With a determination to be successful he now occupies the position of head-waiter, the youngest at the head of any large hotel. Mr. Washington attended school in Marshall, Mo., graduating from the High School. His aim is to better the walters in general, giving uniformity among the walters in the various hotels. The people of this city greatly appreciated the efforts he is putting forth in that line more especially because he is carrying out a well-laid principle. PHARMACEUTIC COLLEGE OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY. The Pharmaceutic College occupies a unique position in supplying the demands for first-class colored pharmacists. The advantages offered students are unequalled. Students are thoroughly drilled in chemical, bacteriological and pharmaceutical laboratories, and are given practical experience in compounding and dispensing drugs and chemicals in the Dispensary of Freedmen's Hospital. The development of the South has created a demand for collored pharmacists much greater than the supply. The fact that white druggists do not care for the patronage of colored people has caused enterprising colored men to open drug stores of their own. The field is not overcrowded and there are dozens of cities begging for druggists whose demands cannot be supplied. In a number of which cities, companies are formed, waiting for a good pharmacist to come and open a drug store without any cost whatever to NUMBER 6 himself. To young men desiring a professional career, pharmacy offers flattering inducements. THINK THE MATTER OVER. In point of service, Countee Bros. is the oldest colored Undertaking and Funeral Directing firm in the city. In volume of business their trade is quite extensive. The people go to their place because of the courteous and gentlemanly bearing of the Countee Bros. and their employees. Countee Bros', motto: "The Smallest Amount Consistent With First-Class Service." Everyone in Kansas City knows Countee Bros. have succeeded in building up the largest Negro business in the city by "square dealing." You can always get the best services, C. H. COUNTEE. prices and terms because they are best able to serve you. They keep on hand at all times a large stock of caskets and furnishings of every description. Their out of town business is daily increasing and they are shipping cases and finding patrons all over the district west of Chicago. The Chapel Morgue, showroom and office of Countee Bros. are the most complete in the city. If you wish first-class service and want to be treated like your business W. B. COUNTEE. deserves, call on Countee Bros., 914 East 12th street. If you are out of city and want the remains of your relatives or friends cared for, or desire casket or coffin, wire, or you can reach Countee Bros. by either phone. For reference, call up any bank in the city. Nine rooms for rent, either furnished or unfurnished. 1708 East 18th St. Bell 'phone, East 2514. Mrs. A. Farr.

WOMAN AND HOME Making Use of Left-Overs CHILDREN'S LAWN PARTY CROCHET BONNET FOR INFANT Pretty and Exceedingly Comfortable for Small Wearer. This cozy little bonnet may be worked in Sheetland, Ivory, and any fine wool, rather more than an ounce of wool and a medium-sized hook being required. It should be worked rather loosely throughout. Six chain, and join into a ring: 3 chain, 20 trebles into the ring (the 3 chain counting as 1 treble); join with a slip-stitch. All the other rows are commenced and finished in the same manner. *, a treble on each stitch of previous row—taking both threads—working 2 trebles in every fifth, or as often as may be required, to make the work lie flat; join round and repeat from * until the work is about eight inches in diameter.

If, for example, you have half a cupful of carrots, cut into slices, add an equal quantity of potato, cooked and sliced; stir into a thick cream sauce. Serve with minced parsley on top. Half a cupful of beets. Cut into small pieces, combine with four tablespoonfuls of pecan meats broken in halves, also a little celery. Toss in French dressing and serve in lettuce cups. Half a cupful of peas. Add dissolved gelatine to a large cupful of highly seasoned stock. Strain. When it begins to set, stir in the peas lightly. Mould in small cups.

Several Mothers May Unite and Give the Little Ones a Happy Afternoon. Several mothers may unite and give this party, using a large lawn or several adjoining lawns. Have gay little tents or big Japanese umbrellas, presided over by familiar characters from "Mother Goose" or nursery rhymes. "Old Mother Hubbard" can have a little tent in which she exhibits pet dogs and kittens, squirrels, rabbits and doves. "Little Miss Muffet" can exchange popcorn balls for bits of silver paper "money." "Little Red Riding Hood's" basket can contain bags of peanuts. "Simple Simon's" tray can be stocked with stick candy, and "Old King Cole" can be the toy balloon man. Open the afternoon with a parade of pony and donkey carts and toy vehicles. Then let the smallest children enjoy rides around a "pony track," and play simple kindergarten games under the direction of a kindergarten teacher. other treble into the same place as the last; *, pass over one stitch, 2 trebles with one chain between in the next, and repeat from * for about four more inches; fasten off.

On the full part or frill the loops are worked over two rows at a time, and not so closely together, the loops being carried across 2, 3, or more stitches at discretion. Round the outer edge work a row of loops, 7 chain into every fourth stitch, and then a second row of loops, but working them from the middle treble, passed over in making one loop to the middle treble in the next, thus forming a double row of loops all round the edge. Thread the first row of the frill with ribbon half an inch wide, arrange all the fulness across the front of the bonnet, leaving about four inches on either side of where the ribbon meets quite plain; put a stitch on each side to keep it in position. The ribbon should be tied at the back to the size required. Strings should be attached, and a bow or rosette of ribbon stitched on the top. A lining of soft silk will add greatly to the appearance of the bonnet, and also to the wearer's comfort. If Ivorine wool is used, the foundation might be worked in Shetland. Half a cupful of corn. Prepare three medium-sized tomatoes, scoop out the center, fill with the corn creamed. Bake in oven until tomatoes are tender. Pour over cach a hooping spoonful of cream sauce. PRETTY FOR TOILET TABLE. Ring Box Easily Made from Odds and Ends of Material. A very pretty and useful addition to the toilet table in the shape of a ring box may be made from odds and ends of material. Obtain a narrow cardboard box about 1½ inches wide, four inches long and one inch deep; discard the lid and proceed as follows: Cut a length of silk, or whatever ma terial is decided upon, and cover the sides of the box, turning over the edges inside the box and underneath it, where they should be neatly pasted down with colorless glue. Then to make the bottom quite tidy, paste white paper over it, and sew a button, which has first been covered with material, to each corner to form feet. The upper portion is formed from a strip of cardboard the length of the box and $3\%$ inches wide. Nearly an inch from each edge rule a slight incision from end to end, so as to be able to bend it to the shape of Fig 1 in the illustration. Next paste firmly over the whole a strip of velvet and cut five incisions to hold the rings. Lastly, cut out two semi-circular portions—Fig. 2, cover them with velvet and paste to the spaces caused by the curved top at each end; fix this top by slipping the edges inside box, fix with glue. For the elder children have games and trials of skill, shooting arrows at a target, throwing rubber balls at a dummy figure, races, etc., under the direction of an older boy or girl experienced in school athletics. The tests should be very simple and the programme changed the moment the little folks show signs of over-excitement or irritability. Let the children sing a marching song as they go to supper to quiet them down. Serve supper in a larger tent, using kindergarten tables and chairs. Have the tables flower trimmed and "fairies" for waiters. These may be young girls dressed in white with wreaths of flowers and gauze wings. For the fishing ponds have tubs of water and let them fish for floating toys. Protect the little fishers by oclloth aprons. Watching a child's dress seems a little matter, but remember that a spattered dress may spoil the bright day for a little girl.—What to Eat. Happenings in Gotham Gossip Gathered Here and There in the Busy Metropolis—Spreading Gospel with Aid of a Megaphone—What New Yorkers Are Drinking These Hot Days. NEW YORK.—Preaching the gospel through a megaphone is the latest. Many persons while passing along the upper section of West street of late have been startled by the sound of preaching and singing apparently coming out of the air from nowhere in particular. There is no church in the vicinity; there may be no street group near to explain it. The illusion is produced by a large megaphone which makes the voices carry for a surprising distance with the effect of being spoken in one's ear. For some little time a street service has been held daily at West and Bethune streets in which a large megaphone plays an important part. The audience reached in this way may be scattered over several blocks and even the passer-by a street or two away is likely to have his attention suddenly arrested. The services are carried on by the Young Men's Evangelical association and are attended by the ministers of a number of churches in the neighborhood. The pulpit, from which these services are held consists of a few soap boxes or a pile of pipes directly opposite the entrance of a great factory building where more than 5,000 men and women are employed. The service is opened shortly after noon, the beginning of the lunch hour. The congregation usually consists of many hundreds. The workmen return to work at 12:45, which, of course, closes the church for the day. The effect of a gospel hymn or the sound of preaching heard through a megaphone is somewhat novel, not to say startling. The megaphone lends a peculiar quality to the voice heard in this way, which attracts and holds the street crowd in large numbers. The orchestra began with the gathering together of kindred souls at the home of Michael's father. There half a dozen or more musicians would drop in of an evening for a little music. Michael, aged seven, frequently objected to the tempo taken by the players. "It should be this way," he would say, and finally he became so persistent that they would let him take a baton in band and "run things" to suit himself. But instead of its being a childish prank these older musicians soon found that the little fellow really had ideas, and that his interpretation of some numbers was original and excellent. So the orchestra was organized and is now in full swing. Several concerts have been given and Michael is always the star of the occasion. In his methods he is said to be like the great Creatore, sometimes jumping from his platform and running among his musicians, encouraging them, threatening them or begging them to do as he wishes. What is the New Yorker's favorite hot weather drink this summer? What it ought not to be, of course. Gin rickeys first, highballs next, and last, the new one—the Water Wagon. Here it is: First you take a long glass; in it you put a piece of ice the size of an egg; then two spoonfuls of sugar, the juice of a lime, next a large drink of brandy, and half as much port; stir well or shake in a mixer; add sufficient seltzer or carbonic to fill the glass, and quaff. This is called the "water wagon," because four of them are warranted to put you on the front seat of that equpage. But though the "water wagon" has achieved great popularity along Broadway this summer, it is by no means the only hot-weather drink. The gin rickey is still in the ring, and the highball is feeling as frisky as usual. Father is not suffer-ing while mother is out of town, thank you. At the summer resorts contiguous to Long Acre Square the thirst throttiers are kept as busy as ever queezing limes into glasses and telling the waiter to take away the rickey. At the Astor, especially, is the seductive rickey the favorite. The head delight dispenser there said: "The rickey has the call this summer, same as last. Once a favorite with a man, it seems, and you seldom see a man switching from it to anything else." "It's the rickey, with the highball a close second," they said over at the Cadillac. "Scotch isn't popular as it used to be, and people are coming back to rye, it seems to me. Good for home products? We-ell, lots of Scotch is made in this country, you know, so—however. The sloe gin rickey? Nope. Sloe gin takes too long to do anything. It's kind of discouraging to stand against a bar for an hour or two hurling those things into your system and having no inclination to cheer. Sloe gin is a fizzle." One of her most daring and costly functions was given three years ago, when she hired the entire "Chinese Honeymoon" company to provide fun for her guests. Mrs. Fish is also distinguished as a remarkably frank talker. She has dared to call Newport and its moneyed habitues stupid. She has stigmatized many of the socially elect as oeing too much engaged in running after bearers of title; and she is was who said she understood that Mrs. Roosevelt dressed on $300 a year, and looked it. It was she who took up Harry Lehr and brought him to the fore. Mr. Stuyvesant Fish, who is known to the worlds of transportation and nance as the president of the Illinois Central railroad, and to the world of society as Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's husband, cares not a fig for society. The pipe organ in John D. Rockefeller's Fifth Avenue Baptist church is being complained of by some rich residents who are trying to pass the summer in New York in peace and quiet. Although the church is closed and Mr. Rockefeller is away, the organ is the bustest thing on Murray Hill. If it played hymns or even popular alrs, neighbors say, it would not be so bad. But the organ keeps blowing out massive discords by the hour, and whoever is playing it seems to be trying to see how many different kinds of noise can be made at once. "A crazy calliope," the organ is called. Some say it is "dafy." One indignant rich man near the church has written to the health department asking the officials to squeel the organ. Every afternoon, about two o'clock, he says, the organ begins and the racket proceeds hour after hour. The organ for five minutes at a time as loud as possible, and ist, he says, plays one note for five minutes at a time as loud as possible, and then begins to chase himself up and down the keyboard. The rich man's wife, he says, is being driven to distraction by the noise There is no such thing as taking a nap while the mighty organ is at work Other people in the vicinity are also kicking. CINEMA Men's Evangelical assy by the ministers of a number of churches in the from which these services are held consists of a pipes directly opposite the entrance of a great far than 5,000 men and women are employed.

YOUNG MUSICAL GENIUS. In nine-year-old Michael De Vito we have a musical prodigy who even surpasses Mozart, Josef Hoffman and Kubellk, who as youths were regarded as marvels. His acquirements surpass those of any of his predecessors, and he is the leader, conductor, organizer and general manager of a full-sized, grown-up orchestra, which appears in public. Michael began the study of music when he was but four years old. He is the son of Perry De Vito, a musician, and the lad's early training is due to his father's desire to bring him up in the same profession. But the elder De Vito had no idea that the little fellow would develop such wonderful talents. At seven or eight the lad could play well violin, mandolin and piano. His study of the old masters was thorough, and he went far ahead of his instructors.

NOW PRIDE OF NEW YORK ZUO. Big Constrictor's Appetite for Pets Led to its Capture. The new boa constrictor from Venezuela added to the New York Zoological park is one of the largest of its kind and has an interesting history. It began, says the Zoological Society Bulletin, with a series of depressions about a small Venezuelan town, stealing chickens, pet dogs, turkeys and occasionally a favorite cat. The visits of the reptile were invariably nocturnal and so irregular that it repeatedly avoided capture. At length the snake became a terror to housewives and a watch was kept for it. It was finally captured by working a noose over its head and dragging it into a box. When the Trinidad steamer arrived at New York during one of the cold waves of early spring and the box was opened an apparently dead snake was revealed. A bathtub was quickly filled with water heated to a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In this the snake was placed and it was energetically rubbed and massaged. After half an hour, during which it showed no signs of life, the tall moved slightly. This was a good sign, showing the snake to be actually alive, though by no means sure to recover, for with large snakes thoroughly chilled the lungs entirely collapse. If the dormant condition continues the lung tissue becomes so congested that the first inhalation coming with the return of necessary warmth tears the delicate membranes, when there is an immediate hemorrhage and the reptile dies. This condition was feared with the Venezuelan boa; and the effect of the snake's first indrawn breath was watched with anxiety. Massaging brought the desired result. The snake was seen to take a deep breath and then exhale. It. Regular breathing followed, showing the snake to be in good condition. It required a period of nearly ten days for the snake to regain its normal vigor. Then it struck viciously at whoever approached, evincing every symptom of a hearty interest in life. Along the body of the snake are numerous deep scars, telling a mute story of battles with denizens of the South American forest before they finally succumbed to its constricting powers. WONDERFUL TENACITY OF LIFE Vital Spark Is Slow to Leave Its Human Tenement. The astounding tenacity with which life clings to the human body is a good thing to remember in these summer days when the bathing resorts are taking their annual toll of human life. The case of Robert Mooney, reported by the life-saving service of the third division, is a good illustration of this fact. He was brought to terra firma after being under water for 23 minutes. The life savers worked over him for an hour and three-quarters before the first sign of returning life was obtained, and he did not regain consciousness until the next day. If his body had been recovered by ordinary trained men there is little question that he never would have regained consciousness at all. After 15 or 20 minutes of artificial respiration hope would have been given up and the faint little spark of life which evidently remained allowed to die out for lack of perseverance. After the removal of water from the lungs artificial respiration should be resorted to and continued for several hours if necessary, a physician of course being summoned at once. Some Hints as to Diet. To know whether your market man is selling you oleo or butter ask him what he is charging you for it. The theory that pumpkin pies are unhealthy in July has never been put to the test, except with canned pumpkin. Onions should be eaten only at an hour when you are sure no friends will call. The Irish potato is recommended for food in cases of German measles. The theory is that the racial antipathy of the vegetable and the measles will distract the attention of the germs from the system. If you should bite your fingers while eating corn on the cob, excuse yourself and tie up the fingers. The best time to eat a hearty meal is when a wealthy friend invites you to take dinner with him at his club. —Chicago Post. Murderous Act of Parisian. A few days ago a carpenter named Letourneur was walking along the St. Martia canal, in Paris, when he seized a boy of 12 and threw him into the water. As it happened the boy could swim, but when he reached the bank, the brutal carpenter kicked him back into the water. Some bur gees ran up in time to same the boy, and after thrashing the would-be murderer, handed him over to the police. Letourneur's defense is that he wanted to earn a reward for saving the boy from drowning. Before Their Day.

Never in the history of the United States has there been such a demand for diamonds as there was in 1905. Large quantities were imported, but the country produced none. In 1903 it produced diamonds to the value of $50, in 1901 it had an output worth $100, in 1900 its production was valued at $150, and in 1899 the country boasted native diamonds to the value of $300. Diamonds have been discovered in the United States in four different regions, but their actual place of origin is unknown. All have been found in loose and superficial deposits, and all accidentally. It is not at all improbable, however, that some day the original sources of this queen of gems may be discovered. The high price of diamonds has made the recent search for these precious stones in the United States and Canada keener than ever before.—Scientific American. Schools Spreading In China.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food Coffee because ordinary coffee disagreed with her and her husband. She writes: "Hy husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time. "I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my housework—both of us using coffee all the time, and realizing it was harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather dubious about what my husband would say—he was fond of coffee. "But I took coffee right off the table, and we haven't used a cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. My stomach trouble went away in two weeks after I began Postum. My children love it and it does them good, which can't be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was always half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless less stuff, but she watched me make it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and when done she said it was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavor and food quality." Name gives by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason HOW A GREAT CITY FEEDS "NIGHT HAWKS" Small Restaurants Where Hobbes and Business Men Sit to Eat, Shoulder to Shoulder. WAITERS' WONDERFUL VOCABULARY Used to Have Their Own Description for All Dishes Called for by the Hungry Throng — Tramp Not Always an Important Factor in All-Night Resorts. COFFEE & ROLLS 5¢ 20¢ MENU A HIGH-TONED MOKE RESTAURANT A HOBO JOINT Brooklyn.—Nocturnal ramblers in this great city need never go home hungry, if they feel the pangs of appetite demanding food before they retire and are fearful lest the pantry at home will not furnish material for a "snack." There are in the borough nearly, if not fully, 100 all-night restaurants—places that never close their doors. Of course, that number is small when compared with the list of all-night "joints" in Manhattan, but Brooklyn is essentially a city of homes, and the wonder is that so many places find it profitable to keep open day and night. Naturally the summer season is the best for this class of restaurants. The surrounding beaches attract multitudes of visitors at night, and the late trollers carry full loads to various parts of the borough. With its vast network of street railways, Brooklyn has scores of transfer points, and it is notable that one or more all-night restaurants are to be found located near almost every one of such points. The returning merry-makers are generally hungry, unless they have eaten at one of the seashore resorts, and it is often the case that the cost of meals at the beaches is extortionate, or the food served by them is not tempting. The restaurants that keep their doors open at all hours, though they may not equal the best, are almost invariably clean and inviting, and meals that would satisfy the ordinary appetite are served. Places Serve Good Food Without Putting on Frill! In the down-town district the allnight eating places are the most numerous. Beginning at the Brooklyn bridge, or near it, one may follow the regular channels of travel and find plenty of places where the wants of the inner man are attended to in various styles. At this season of the year shell-fish—clams, lobsters, crabs and even oysters—are in the greatest demand, and there are places where such food is prepared in a very tempting manner. There may be no napkins; the dishes may be of heavy earthenware instead of china and the "silverware" so worn that the brass beneath is plainly visible, but the "soft-shells" are done to a turn, and although the place may have no saffon license, one can always get a bottle of cold beer to wash down the COFFEE & ROLL'S 54 A HIGH-TONED "MOKE" RESTAURANT succulent sea-food. Steaks, chops and eggs, 400, are always in good demand, and to the really hungry man they undoubtedly taste better than the lighter foods. At one restaurant a sign informs the passer-by that: For supper we give beefsteak, potatoe, bread and butter, a cup of tea or coffee, one kind of sauce or jelly, a plate of cakes and syrup, all for 20 cents. Careworn Knight of the At the door of this place was noticed a queer specimen of humanity, who had shuffled in from somewhere out of the black night. He stopped in front of the place and read the attractive offer that was portrayed on the banner. As the stroller concluded reading he thrust his right hand into a pocket of his frayed trousers. Of years he had perhaps attained 40, and the finger of time had not dealt gently with him, for his face was seamed with wrinkles and he looked careworn. His clothing was tattered and his linen—if a grimy shirt that had not seen a laundry in some weeks might be so dignified—had seen long usage; his straw hat had great rents in the crown, through which protruded an occasional lock of rusty, unkempt hair; his coat was shiny and worn at the cuffs and elbows; the bottoms of his trouser legs, too, were badly frayed and "scuffed" out by the frequent contact of his ankles, and through holes in a pair of mismated shoes could be seen more than a suspicion of bare toes. His beard was unkempt and his hands and face were gulltless of any recent acquaintance with soap and water. After a moment's meditation the hobo drew his hand from his pocket, deposited its contents into his left hand and then began a systematic search of his other pockets. The result was 23 cents, a lead medal, part of a package of cigarettes and a suspender buckle. He slowly counted his cash assets and returned the other articles to his pockets. His resources were more than sufficient to pay for the meal which he plainly had in contemplation, but he hesitated as he looked again at the money. "No Pie, No Supper," "Twenty-three cents." he said to himself, "is two whiskies or four beers, with a tip-top lunch thrown in. I'm durned hungry, but blame me if I want ter blow in all my cash on grub. Say, boss," he continued, addressing the lone waiter in the place. 20¢ MENU A HOBO JOINT "do youse throw in a piece o' pie with this 'ere bountee-ous ree-past?" "Nope; pie's extra," was the reply. "That settles it," grumbled the stroller, haughtily.

With that he turned away with a look of real or simulated disgust. "The bill of fare doesn't seem up to your standard," ventured a guest. "It seems to me a very liberal meal for the money." "Well, it ain't so worse," responded the hobo, "purty fair for Brooklyn, but it ain't a marker to what you kin get in some cities. Now, in Cincinnati there's cheap joints where they give a meal that'd fill up any man's stomach for 15 cents, one kind o' meat, all the bread an' butter you kin eat, two cups o' tea er coffee, apple sass, fried spuds, beans an' cabbage, an' a hunk o' ple. What do you think o' that? "It certainly is a liberal spread. I don't see how they can do it." "Well, they do, an' they make good big money, too.

Traveler in Many Lands and a Keen Observer. The man spoke enthusiastically; his eyes brightened and it was noted quickly that he had quite dropped his hobo dialect. "You must have been a great traveler," he ventured. "Yes, sir; I have traveled all over ADAM AND EVE AFLOAT IN MID-OCEAN, WIT DE SUNNY SIDES UP A BIG APPETITE AND A SMALL PURSE THE MAN-ABOUT-TOWN IS THE BEST PATRON OF THE ALL-NIGHT RESTAURANTS the world. I had money, at one time, though I don't look now as though I had ever been anything but a tramp." He was evidently telling the truth, and his audience wanted to hear more of his adventures. The "tourist" readily accepted an invitation to join in a 20 cent meal, to which he did ample justice. The listener, thinking he would take no chances, suggested that he would take some eggs. "I wouldn't advise you to do it—here," said the hobo. "An egg is like a woman's character. It must be 'strictly' good, or it isn't any good at all. These restaurants do not supply their patrons with the best eggs, but buy from the cold storage warehouses, where they can buy cheap. It is a healthy hen that can lay good eggs in August." "You seem well posted on the restaurants of this city," said the listener. "Are there many that give a wholesome meal at reasonable prices?" "Yes. I may say that the majority of them do. In fact, they will average very well with most large cities. There are a number of popular priced restaurants over the river that serve better food, but they are in locations where they can depend upon a large trade. "The genus hobo is a large factor in the patronage of a majority of the all night places. The tramp is too lazy to even eat in the daytime, and what he does eat he usually begs. In the morning he seldom has a cent. He gets a breakfast at some back door, maybe, and then he 'rests' all day. At night he 'cadgers', or begs, from men who appear to be well fed and good natured, and it is perhaps far into the night before he has the price' for a meal. If, after he has had all he wants to drink, he has enough money left, he spends it for a substantial meal. But it is usually drink first, and then eat, for a man who has the price of a drink can always get enough free lunch to last him. Genus Tramp Is Not Very Frequent Guest. "But Brooklyn all-night restaurants are freer from the genus tramp than those of any city I have visited. In the summer, particularly, the best patronage of such places comes from parties who have spent the evening and well along toward morning at Coney Island, the Rockaways, Bright on, North and other beaches. The sea air has sharpened their appetites and they feel the need of food before retiring. At the transfer points of the various trolley lines, they notice little eating places, and, as the windows are usually made attractive, the sight tempts them. You will find them at various points along Fulton street, clear out to East New York; along Broadway, in Williamsburg, on Nostrand, Flushing and Franklin avenues, on Washington, Sands and other streets, not far from the Brooklyn bridge, and elsewhere. "There is a place I've noticed, but have never gone into it. It is a hightoned negro joint, where the 'Afro-American' sports congregate. It is in the 'dark' district and is a regular 'moke' Delmonico's, with private supper rooms where the negro gamblers take their 'girls' after a 'killing' at craps and spend their money freely. It is undoubtedly one of the most prosperous places in the borough. Then there are a lot of Chinese chop suet juices, where there is nothing doing until long after midnight. You seldom hear of these places, for they are run quietly, and if there are any rough house in them, you may depend upon it the fault is with some unruly patron who has had more drink than is good for him before he entered the Chinaman's place. "Of the real 'tough' joints that were some years ago so common in New York, there is scarcely one left in the greater city. The police espionage "ONE SUNDAY BREAKFAST FOR A BOSTON HEBREW" AFTER THE THEATRE THE NEWSIES MIDNIGHT LUNCH A CHINK WRITER has spoiled their business and they have disappeared, probably forever. Small loss at that, though they did strr up things in the old days. It was no uncommon sight to see fighting, or evidences of fighting, all along the Bowery, and murders were also frequent. Now a murder in such a place comes pretty near putting the business on the blink. Walters Gave Orders "The tough walter, too, is practically a thing of the past. It used to be so distinctive of waiters to give their orders in a vernacular of their own that imitations were transferred to the stage, and some of them were funny. If a patron wanted a plate of wheat cakes, well browned, the waiter translated it: 'A stack of whites wilt' a copper. If he wanted poached eggs on toast, it was 'Adam an' Eve afloat in midocean, wit' the sunny sides up.' A cup of coffee was, and is, 'Draw one!' If you want it without milk, it is 'Draw one in de dark!' Roast beef rare, with boiled potatoes, would be 'One slaughter-house in de pan wilt' de Murphy brudders!' "One of the funniest things I have heard in a restaurant was a colloquy between a tough waiter and a customer equally tough. The customer had been served, but, on cutting open his potato, he found it was black inside. He motioned to the waiter, who approached. "Say, cull,' he said, good naturedly, 'de spud is on de punk. Give us anudder, will you? "Sure ting,' replied the waiter, taking the offensive potato, and going to the dumbwaiter, where he shouted 'Return good for evil!' "In the same restaurant a man came in and ordered Boston baked beans, without any pork. The waiter's order to the cook was 'One Sunday breakfast for a Boston Hebrew.' "Well, I must be going," said the hobo, who had cleaned his plate. "Sorry to leave you, but I'm afraid my family'll be worried," and he chuckled at the sarcasm. "Won't you have another cup of coffee?" "No, thank you; I never drink but two cups. It might spoil my sleep. Much obliged for the feed, for I have enough to get a good breakfast—or a good drink or two. Most likely it'll be the drinks. Good night." --- PURELY FEMININE RECREATION HOURS.

A series of impromptu tableaux was enacted in a hotel parlor the other night, which was worthy of a far larger audience, although the sum realized for charity was a good one, owing to the generosity of the appreciative audience. The pictures shown represented "the seven ages of woman;" first, "Infancy" was a real live baby, hastily borrowed for the occasion, with a real live angel bending over it; the second scene, "Childhood," was modeled after Jessie Wilcox Smith's charming picture, called "The First Love." Then the "Schoolgirl" came next, with books and slate; "Maidenhood" showed a young girl daintily gowned with a letter in her lap and a box containing a diamond ring; "Wifehood" and "Motherhood" were followed by "Old Age." Space forbids going into the details of each scene, but it will be easy to work the pictures out with very little preparation. It is a simple matter to have colored lights, and they will greatly enhance the beauty of the pictures. If music is played very softly during the scenes, it adds to the pleasure in a marked manner, and suitable selections may be found, such MONOGRAM EASY TO WORK.

Easy to Make Tints. A secret worth knowing is how to tint laces, chiffons, silk or crocheted buttons, feathers, slippers, gloves, etc., to a gown shade. The materials required are oil paints in tubes and benzine. The benzine is placed in a porcelain bowl and the paint is dissolved in it. The work has to be done quickly and of course in a fireless room. Mix the paint to the required shade in a saucer, comparing it with the goods until the right color. When the exact tint is reached mix with the benzine and dip the articles to be dyd quickly in it before the paint falls to the bottom. A hairpin comes in handily to hold the edge of the goods. Shake out quickly and hang up to dry. It is well to make a few experiments before risking costly materials, but the process is really not at all formable. as "Auld Lang Syne" or "Long, Long Ago," for "the Old Age" the "Wedding March" for "Wifehood," and "Hush-a-By Baby" for "Infancy." A "Mother Goose" Luncheon A "Mother Goose" luncheon is indeed an affair out of the ordinary. In the invitations, which had quaint little pen and ink sketches on them of "Mother Goose" in peaked hat and a broom, ready to "sweep the cobwebs down from the sky," the guests were requested to wear something to indicate a character in the dear old nursery rhymes. The centerpiece on the table was an enormous "pie," with a ribbon radiating to each plate, where a little woolly lamb was tied to it. The place cards had tiny "spiders" attached to them. Each guest was called upon to recite the rhyme she represented when she was correctly guessed. This was the occasion of much merriment. When the dessert course was brought in the hostess asked all to pull their ribbons, and out of the "pie" came all sorts of birds. They had been found at the favor counters, and elicited much comment. "There is no telling what can be found until you begin to look," said this indefatigable hostess, who is ever on the alert for something new. The souvenirs, which were a joy to the guests, were small Japanese teapots, bearing a cord on which was written: "Polly, put the kettle on and we'll all drink tea." A copy of "Mother Goose" for grown folks was the prize of the person who guessed the most characters. It was a very jolly party that departed, and proved without doubt that we are all only children of a larger growth. A correspondent signing the initials "M. B." asks replies to the following questions: When one is entertaining a sister and a cousin, and wishes to give a luncheon in the honor, will the visiting card of the hostess be proper to use for invitations, writing "given for Mrs. Blank and Mrs Jones" on it, with the day and date? Where should these guests be seated at the table? In returning the call of a young lady whom you know, and have entertained, should a card be left for her mother whom you do not know, or should just your card be left without the husband's card? Information on these subjects will be much appreciated. The visiting card is perfectly proper to use with the names of your guests upon it, and your sister may be seated at your right, the cousin on your left at the table. If you wish to call on the young lady's mother, it will be right to do so, asking for her and leaving a card; on the other hand, you will be correct in simply asking for your friend and leaving your own card for her. DAINTY AND USEFUL TRINKET Wash Leather Purse a Gift That Will Be Appreciated.

One and three-fourths inches wide by $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches deep is quite large enough size to make this purse, and it may be lined with soft silk if desired. The purse, from which this sketch was made, was lined with a light blue silk, the mouth bound with darker ribbon, and the initials and cords matched the latter.

There are a few Negroes in Jackson county who pose as Negro leaders. They call a clique together and go to the white man and tell him they can line the Negroes up. Then these Negroes come to the voters and tell them to go down the line. These Negroes will sell the whole race out for a few paltry dollars. Then these Negroes go in down-town offices and fight, yes fight like prize-fighters. They think they are going to remain the leaders of the Negroes. Some of them pose as professional men, and can hardly write their names. You keep this up and we are going to turn you wrong side out. They even threaten in order to keep their doing under cover so the public won't know how to scrap like pugilists. Well the public is going to know That's all! NOW COMES THE TIME WHEN THE WORD WILL BE PASSED ALONG Get in line boys. Stay with us and all good things will be added unto you. Just as soon as they have captured the offices and made up their slate; when the Negro applies the excuse almost invariably is that the Negroes cannot agree upon one man. This is all folly and we are of the opinion that you don't wont him to agree. From a political standpoint you yourselves don't agree but some of you get offices. The Negro has been very patient in Missouri politics, waiting and abiding his time. The Negro was assured that when you captured the county and the state he could share at least some of the pie. Now what kind of a sermon do you expect to preach to the Negro voters this fall? The old sermon has become stale and threadbare. If we have got to be devolved any longer we prefer to be deceived by out enemy and not by our so-called political friend. There were some applications made to the county marshal that were backed up by some of the best men in Kansas City. Only the applicants were Negroes. We will mention one or two of them. Lewis Wood and M. E. Carter and many others, and yet there could be no agreement reached. Not only does this take in the marshal's office, but the sheriff's office and the collector's office and in fact all of the offices. If you expect our earnest support, you must give us some of the places. A hint to the wise is sufficient. The attempt to segregate the colored soldier simply because some of the common ordinary white privates object to his occupying the same fort with them, is an injustice. If he were in any way the inferior of his white comrade, or if he were pugnacious by nature there might be some excuse, but as it is, it will be a stigma. When the South rebelled the negro fighting side by side with the loyal union men, whipped it back into line. When our own Teddy led his regiment to slaughter up San Juan hill the negro soldier, full of vim, vigor and loyalty, fought back the Spanish, conquered San Juan and saved one flank of Uncle Sam's army from annihilation. Since in time of peace he must abide by the same rigid rule in time of war must fight with as much valor, why should he be stigmatized? The Athens correspondent of the London Mall says the management of the Olympian games was "chaos." That the men who make up the savage, blood-thirsty mobs, are not law-abiding, self-respecting citizens has been clearly proven. For men of clear, sound judgment, indomitable will, invincible courage, and the other sterling qualities that go to make up a man fit to battle in life's fray, have neither time nor inclination to bother with such. The newspapers edited and controlled by some of our race do this class of men an injustice when they class them the common herd who so forget God, man and themselves as to deprive a fellow creature of his life in the lowest and most brutal manner imaginable. And the Son maintains that the class of white men who keep posted on their own affairs and read the high class Negro journals as well, do not stoop to such brutality and savagery. This is called forth from reading a comment in the editorial column of the Freeman, on the article published in case and comment. Dr. Theo. Smith, our popular druggist, has leased a store room under the new up-to-date forty room hotel at 18th and Tracy, one block north of the Negro High School. The doctor will occupy this room with a first-class drug store on or about Sept. 1. He will be the only Negro in this country owning and operating a string of drug stores. This young Negro came to Kansas City five years ago without a cent, today his rating with Dunn & Bradstreet is well up in the thousands. As a rule when we read of a Negro success, it is all on paper and is nothing but talk, but we know these are facts. We need more young men of this type. If Kansas City had a hundred such Negroes like the doctor the race problem in Kansas City would soon be solved. The Son wishes him success. "If a newspaper man knew how many knocks are received behind his back he would adopt another calling," remarked a citizen the other day. But we beg leave to differ. The wide-awake, go-ahead newspaper man, one with grit, get and gumption, realizes early in the game that he is to be knocked by every law-breaker, mugwump and hypocrite because by nature they are muck rakers, and the newspaper-man expects to have his missils hurled at him and has long since learned to dodge. ANNUAL MEETING OF NEGRO JOURNALISTS. A movement of the negro newspapermen for the uplift of that Dark Body of Negroes, and to promote general felicity among our negro editors and writers. They convene 21 and 22 of September. While the fool ponders the wise guy acts. Opportunities are far more powerful than prophets. If you would discourage trusts neither borrow nor lend. Poverty isn't a crime—unless it furnishes one with prison fare. Man can see a sorrow at twice the distance he can see a blessing. It is easier for the landlord to raise the rent than it is for the tenant. Misfortune is no respecter of persons—and neither is fortune, for that matter. When people actually carry out their good intentions the milenium will be in full blast With the march of civilization come innumerable chances to make a dishonest living. Contentment may be better than wealth, but the most of us are compelled to jog along without either. A New York physician has succeeded in making a mute woman talk. Still some folks imagine that it is impossible for a doctor to outlive his usefulness. POOR RICHARD, JR.'S, SAYINGS. Love is great, good and beautiful, but it hats arithmetic. Vacation weather generally begins after the close of vacations. It makes little difference what has been in the empty pocketbook. That low rumbling sound in the distance is caused by the reassembling of the football teams. No mental process is so rapid as the decision of the average man to remain home from church on a rainy Sunday morning. The prediction of Russell Sage that $10-a-ton coal is a signpost on the road to revolution gives rise to the awful suspicion that Russell has no coal at hand—Saturday Evening Post. She Understood. "Yes," said the man who was beginning to sour on the national sport, "it's interesting sometimes, but baseball nowadays is becoming very dirty." "Oh," exclaimed his fair companion, "I understand now why all those players are wearing gloves."—Philadelphia Press. Country Mail Delivery. Rural free delivery was established under President McKinley in 1897. During the fiscal year ended 1903 there were 15,119 routes in operation, with 11,700 petitions pending. In vells 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 mcking up all diaphanous fabrics, such as lace or mousseilline, for evening gowns is with an interlining of chiffon or mousseilline, 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-pleated chiffon. The front is draped l'Empire and outlined with exquisitely wrought guipure or passmenterie around tue 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.

Dr. Torrey, the evangelist, was speaking one day in London when a bibulous fellow arose and announced, waveringly, that he did not believe everything in the Bible. "I don't see how anybody can walk on water," he declared; "can you do it, Dr. Torrey?" The preacher looked grimly at the man for a moment and then answered: "Well, I can walk on water better than I can on rum." The Keystone Restaurant and R. S. STREET, Prop.

Approximately 1,000,000 young trees will be distributed to the people living on the prairies of western Kansas free of charge this year. H. S. Beaubien, state forestry commissioner, says he is afraid that even this number will not be sufficient to supply the demand. The forestry stations at Dodge City and Ogallah have the young trees almost ready for shipment and will begin sending them out to those who have made application within a few days.—Topeka Capital. Navigation of the air, safely and expeditiously, is bound to be accomplished and to become man's future method of travel.

Wing, is a recommendation as to what the negro is doing in Excelsior Springs. Mr. and Mrs. King should be congratulated upon their great efforts and there is no reason why you should not spend a week at Excelsior Springs. Mr. Robert Douglass who has been attending Maharr Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., is spending his vacation in this city with his uncle, James A. Lee. Through the influence of the Y. M. C.

Mrs. Minnie James who was formerly the counselor of Excelsior Court and Mrs. Mildred Mott were the first promoters of this withdrawal from the E. & W. N. of Pythians. Mrs. Mott became frightened, drew back because of certain influence and a promise of being worthy counselor, but the court went just the same through the influence of Mrs. Minnie James and others. Rev. Christopher Hunt, a minister of the A. M. E. church and for many years a prominent citizen of Kansas City, died at Shreveport, La., July 8 after a brief illness of three days.

The excursion from Shreveport came in July 21 bringing fifteen carloads of Negroes. They spent three days in beautiful Kansas City enjoying the hospitality of the Negro citizens. They also were entertained at their various camping grounds, 51st and Prospect and Union park. They were a very orderly set of colored people, having spent their money for a good time. They left in a very peaceful manner, inspired with the growth and improvements of our city. All of them spoke well of Kansas City and claim that they received courteous treatment from both white and black. The general run of these Negroes carried a little bank account. Some of them were farmers, some merchants, some druggists, and various kinds of small businesses were represented in this aggregation of Negroes. Their visit to Kansas City was an eye-opener to the general run of them. September First-of-the-Month Sale Saturday.

Lady Attendant, KANSAS CITY, MO. $2.50 Hayashi, the Foremost Diplomat of Japan Notable Career of the Man Just Appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. Viscount Hayashi, New Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs. Viscount Hayasui, who has just been made minister of foreign affairs in the Japanese cabinet, is a statesman of the flowery kingdom who has achieved notable triumphs in diplomacy, and who will in his new advanced position, come much into contact with the United States and the other nations of the world. The circumstances leading up to the selection of Hayashi for the important office he now holds are interesting. Marquis Salonji, the new prime minister, who is the leader of the Sejuwakwal, or liberal party, in organizing his cabinet gave the portfolio of foreign affairs, until then held by Baron Komura, to Takaaki Kato, former minister to England and minister of foreign affairs under Marquis Ita. After holding office for only a few days, Mr. Kato suddenly resigned. It is said, because he differed with his colleagues in regard to the nationalization of the railroads. Thereupon Marquis Sainji recalled Ambassador Hayashi from London and gave him the office. Viscount Hayashi is only 56 years of age, having been born in February, 1850, at Sakura, a little town about 80 miles northeast of Tokyo. His father is Dr. Taizen Sato, a prominent Dutch scholar, who was physician to Baron Sakura. To understand the circumstances under which Hayashi was brought up it will be necessary to review the past played by Dutch scholars under the old regime in Japan. After Ivennitsu Tokugawa closed the Viscount Hayashi, New Japan doors of Japan against European countries in 1637 the only means of communicating with the outside world was through Deshima, a little island in front of Nagaasaki. Here a few Dutch tradesmen and scholars were allowed to stay. Through these men, however, Japan is under obligation to Holland for instruction in engineering, mining, astronomy and medicine. Dr. Kaemfero, for instance, stayed in Deshima for two years (1690-1691) instructing Katsurakawa, the first Japanese who practiced medicine after the western fashion. Later Dr. Riptaku Maeno, of Nakatsu, and Dr. Geopaku Sugita, of Obama, became prominent scholars under similar circumstances. In 1753 Dr. Thauberg went to Deshina and exerted much influence upon Japanese pupils such as Genzuf Udakewa, Gentaku Otsuki. Among doctors of western training at that time may be mentioned such men as Dr. Tsubol, who was the first writer on hygiene in Japan; Dr. Mitsukuri, father of Dr. Kikuell, ex-minister of education; Prof. Mitsukuri, of the Tokyo Imperial university, Dr. Ogata and Dr. Yoshimasu, of Osaka. Finally in 1823 Dr. Siebold opened an academy at Nakasaki and sowed the seeds of the new civilization among Japanese scholars. It was to these men that Japan, for some 200 years before the reopening of her doors, owed what knowledge she had of the sciences and progress of the western world. Viscount Hayashi's father, Dr. Sato, was one of these men, and Viscount Hayashi's brother, Baron Matsumoto, the first organizer of the department of army surgeons, was trained under them. After he had been graduated from the Katsseisho, young Hayashi learned the English language under the instruction of Dr. Hepburn, a pioneer medical missionary to Japan, who is now living at Orange, N. J. While the future minister of foreign affairs was reading Dutch books --- at the Kaiselsho Japan was passing a critical point in her history, being subjected to strong foreign pressure from outside and being torn internally by the struggles of three parties, radical, progressive and conservative. Then came the trouble with America, England, France and Holland, which led to serious internal disorders. During the struggle, Hayashi, together with Admiral Enomoto, went to Ezo, or Hokkaido, the northeastern island of Japan, with eight men-of-war. Their purpose was to establish a republic in the island and to oppose the new regime. The project was a failure. Before this struggle began Hayashi had been sent to England to study political science and familiarize himself with Anglo-Saxon civilization. In 1891, when Admiral Enometic took the office of minister for foreign affairs, Hayashi was appointed vice minister, and began his diplomatic life. This office he held until 1896. As soon as the war with China was over he was sent as minister to China and stayed at Peking for three years, from 1896 to 1898. Hayashi's success in this post was brilliant. His chief achievement was the commercial treaty between China and Japan negotiated and signed by him in 1896. In 1898 he was sent to Russia as minister, and eight months later he was transferred to London. There he remained until May of the present ese Minister of Foreign Affairs. year, first as minister and then as ambassador. How active he was in the capital of England both before and during the Russo-Japanese war is well known to every one. It was he who negotiated and signed the treaty of alliance between England and Japan, joining the hands of east and west. It was he who during the war acted as the mouthpiece of the Japanese government, declaring the political will of Japan to western powers through the press, and it was he who signed the final revision of the British alliance treaty, so favorable to the peace of the world. For the negotiation of this treaty he was created viscount in 1902. Hayashi is a scrupulous and single-minded man. He is never deceitful, his admirers say. Sagacious in his methods, sound in judgment, refined in his taste, and loyal to his duty, he is a true son of the Samurai. Viscountess Hayashi, his wife, is a sister of Admiral Enomoto and is familiar with European culture, speaking English and French fluently. While in London Hayashi and his wife were influential figures in society. They contributed time and money to English philanthropic work. A few weeks ago, when Sir Claude MacDonald, British ambassador to Japan, made a short speech at a dinner of the Japan Society of London held in Tokio, he said, referring to Hayashi: "He has by his kindliness, his willingness to do the least service in the cause of charity or any other good cause, his close study of and sympathy with British life and British character, won the hearts of all my countrymen, and I am sure the viscountess will bear with me when I say all my countrywomen. He has thus assisted most nobly in bringing the two nations into close sympathy—an inestimable service to the two nations concerned, and indeed to the whole civilized world." UNCLE BENNY'S CURE By ELIZABETH A. MOORE Uncle Benny was supposed to be sleep. This, however, was merely a supposition, for Uncle Benny was very wide awake. By his bedside sat his friend, Sam Knowles. For several weeks Uncle Benny had been ill, and, having completely exhausted the family by his peevishness and exactions, his old friend had been called in to sit up with him, to give his long-suffering relatives a rest. Uncle Benny opened his eyes stealthily to watch Sam. Sam was much nearer asleep than his patient, and Benny sniffed. What could one expect of a young thing of 68, anyhow? Uncle Benny was 71. "Want anything, Benny?" asked Sam, starting up guiltily at the slight noise. "Yes," snapped Benny, "I want to get out of this." "Oh, you'll soon get out now," replied Sam, consolingly. "In a week or two you can sit out a little in the sunshine. You know you've been real sick, Benny." "Sam, listen," sald Uncle Benny softly. "Say, Sam," went on Benny, seductively, "it must be fine down by the bridge to-night. It's so hot in this room, it would make anybody sick. I wonder if the frogs are so lively as they used to be when we were boys. Don't seem so long ago, does it, Sammy? Do you know, I have such a kind o' hankerin to get down there again and throw stones in at 'em to see 'em jump. Wasn't it fun?" "Wasn't it? And do you remember how we used to steal old Farmer Gray's apples?" continued Sam. "But I say now, Benny," he broke off, abruptly, "we mustn't talk any more to-night. You must go to sleep." Uncle Benny was climbing out of bed now, to Sam's great distress. "Sam," he whispered, "let's go down and have a look at the old bridge. I can't sleep, and they'll never find it out." "Now, Benny," expostulated Sam anxiously, "you'll have the whole house up if you go on like this. Go back to bed, I say." "Oh, don't worry about them wakin up," replied Uncle Benny, grimly. "I THE LADY AND THE MAN "WELL, ARE YOU GOIN' TO EAT IT ALL YOURSELF?" guess I've got them used up so they'd be glad to sleep for a week. Come on now, Sam, and help me dress." Then the two old boys stole softly down the back stairway and out into the warm August night. The fresh air seemed to act like a tonic on Uncle Benny. He drew in long breaths of it in delight. They soon reached the bridge, and for a while listening quietly to the soft ripple of the water beneath them. "Oh, Sam," he murmured at length, "how I should like to go in wadin'?" "If you want to commit suicide, why don't you just jump in and be done with it? That would be quicker, anyhow." "Well, you needn't get mad about it. The young cool doctor says I'm goin' to die anyhow, and I might as well have some fun before I do. Come on, Sam, let's go in." "You won't go wadin' one step. Benny Atkins, so you might as well stop talkin' about it. The very idea!" Uncle Benny sulked in silence for a while, while Sam tried to ease his conscience by hitching at the comfortable wrapped around him. "Feel bad, Benny?" he asked after a pause. "Feel bad? No, I don't. I feel well, Only Sam," he added, plaintively, "I'm awful hungry." "Well, let's go home,' suggested Sam with alacrity, 'and we can hunt around for something to eat." "Yes, gruel, and milk toast and soft-boiled eggs, and that kind of baby food. That's what we can find, and what I've been fed on for a month now. I tell you, I'm hungry for boy food—sour apples, and watermelons, and such like, Old Farmer Holle's melon patch aren't far off. Let's hunt it up." Sam held up his hands in horror. "Now, Sam," said Bonny, decidedly, "you set your foot down on the wadin." but you isn't goin' to set it down on the melons. I'm just hungry for a good, cold watermelon, and what's more, I'm goin' to have it, so come along, and we'll steal one." "I'll have nothing to do with it," declared Sam in righteous wrath. "I'm goin' home to tell your folks to come and get you." "Oh, you are, eh? Well, a nice talkin' to you'll get for bringin' me out this way, slick as I've been. And I'll blame it all on you, see if I don't, if you go off now; so you better think it over. Besides, I tell you it won't do me any harm, and I guess I know better'n you. I ought to, anyhow, I'm three years older." "I tell you, Benny Atkins, I won't be responsible for the consequences. Why, it's outrageous. Now we're goin' home right off." "Well, good-by, if you really must be goin', I'm goin' round by the melon patch, myself." Speechless with rage, Sam followed Benny straight to the melon patch, as Uncle Benny knew he would. Though somewhat hampered by the comfortable, which Sam had pinned on in such a way that he could not unfasten it, Uncle Benny managed to climb the rail fence. After a short search, he secured a luscious-looking melon, and then sat down on a low rail pile to carve it with his penknife, Sam meanwhile looking on in silent indignation. "Have a piece, Sammy?" Uncle Benny asked cordially. "My, but it's cold and sweet! Beats gruel all out and out." Sam did not deign to reply; but though outwardly stony, inwardly he was beginning to yield. "Well, are you gain' to eat it all yourself?" he asked at length, after watching Benny as long as he could stand it. "Oh, why no. I forgot you hadn't any. Here's a good piece, or shall we go steal another?" "I should think you had enough on your conscience for one night," replied Sam severely, "especially as you're gain' to die so soon anyhow." "Oh, don't be too sure about me dyin'. I'm pretty tough, and, anyhow, if I am, I might as well go for a sheep as a lamb," he added irreverently. "Say, Sammy, just listen to the bugs a-hummin'." "Sam," said old Benny, at last, "this is heaps better than the young tool doctor's sedative. I could go to sleep this minute right here on the pile rall. Besides, it's the first time I've had anything to eat for weeks. Gives a fellow such a satisfied feelin'. If I'm goin' to die anyhow, I'm glad I had this lark first." "Well, let's go home, now, Benny," replied Sam, rising stiffly. "I can't help but allow we've had a fine night of it, and if it don't hurt you, I won't care. It must be gettin on to 'leven o'clock, and we'd better be gettin' back." Benny was very docile now, and suffered himself to be led home peaceably. On the porch they removed their shoes and crept noiselessly up the back stairs to Benny's room. The house was very quiet. Evidently Uncle Benny was right. The family was too worn out to have noticed their absence, and the old reprobate chuckled softly to himself. A few minutes later Benny was in bed again and very sound asleep. Then Sam gave a mighty sigh of relief and straightway proceeded to follow suit. The young doctor was much surprised the next morning, and much pleased. How beautifully his sedative had worked! Sam smiled behind his hand. He had tinged to hear the report of the doctor, and he had emptied the sedative out of the window toward morning—but it was not necessary to explain that. Then, too, the temperature was almost normal. It was most remarkable! One unexpected symptom there was, however, which the young doctor couldn't understand. Uncle Benny had an old-fashioned stomachache. "It's very peculiar," remarked the doctor. "I have another case quite similar. That is a small boy up the street, but there's nothing strange about his case, for he'd been eating green apples and so on, and it would be more strange if he hadn't a pain. But with the plain diet you've had I really can't account for it." Here Sam blushed, and Benny smiled a pallid smile through his colic. "However," went on the doctor, "we'll soon correct that. It's nothing serious, and the general improvement is wonderful." "It's good to listen to the two old boys," said Uncle Benny's niece to the doctor a few days later as he was leaving. "Why, to hear them talking of the old bridge and the melon patch, you'd think it was only the other day they were boys together. Really, doctor, you seem to have been unusually successful in Uncle Benny's case." "Yes, the sudden improvement is indeed remarkable," replied the young doctor complacently. "I flatter myself it was the careful diet, together with the judicious use of the sedatives that brought him round. No doubt the slightest laxity would have been most disastrous. I shouldn't wonder if Uncle Benny has years ahead of him yet." From somewhere above floated down a faint but unmistakable chuckle. (Copyright by Joseph B. Bowles.)

Eggs of the familiar Currant or Gooseberry Moth. What wonders nature holds in store for the observer in the summer time. There is the world that unfolds to the naked eye and beyond it lies another world of infinitismal beings which can only be studied and appreciated through the aid of the microscope. And with one which will magnify about 25 diameters, one can discover unexpected and novel features, and innumerable details which the unaided sight would be unable to see. In the outdoor world, the most startling discoveries can be made, and every insect, leaf, and flower will have wonders of its own to reveal The pretty Egg of the White Admiral Butterfly. Since then, minute things, all more or less marvelous, would be so abundant, we must direct our newly-ended power of vision in some particular direction; otherwise we might be bewildered by the many novel appearances around us. Let us, for the moment, therefore, give attention to the numerous insects which move and fly so gaily amongst flowers and leaves. Let us remember, too, that before we could have this busy throng of little animals, for each one a tiny egg had to be carefully deposited in some suitable spot by the mother insect; and let us bear in mind, also, that every mother insect we now see is seeking for some fitting site in which to place her all-important ova, so that her offspring may thrive. Of 1 & 2. Yellow Underwing Moth's On the left are a few of the same m 3 & 4. Some eggs of the Vaporer shown about natural size the wingless silken covering of her cocoon. 5. Pretty form of Moth's Eggs 6. Eggs of the familiar Currant course these eggs are very minute, but, with the microscope adding so greatly to our powers of sight, we are able to see these tiny objects. Where? you ask. I answer: On the leaves and stems of almost every plant that grows; for it is, indeed, a favored plant that is not the prey of one or more insects in their larval or caterpillar stage. It is important for the reader to bear in mind the actual size of these eggs relative to other objects, and that the photographs which illustrate this article represent them very much larger than their natural size,—as we should see them with the suggested increase in our power of vision; that is, they are shown in the pictures at least 25 diameters larger than their natural size. When we have seen one egg of a butterfly we have by no means exhausted the novelty of the subject, for the next one we meet with, of another species, will prove just as entertaining an object. In fact, each species of butterfly and moth has its own characteristic form of egg, so that it is possible for one acquainted with the various shapes and designs to name the insect that each egg will eventually produce. In one illustration we show the egg of the handsome White Admiral butterfly. Here the shell is decorated with deep hexagonal cells, which have spikes or prickles placed on their angles. These eggs are usually placed on the honeysuckle or woodbine, generally close to edge, or near the apex, of the leaves. The Silver-washed Fritillary, one of the largest and most beautiful of British butterflies, also deposits an interesting form of egg and this is most frequently laid on the leaves of the sweet violet, or the unscented dog violet. We might consider the eggs of many other butterflies and find them equally attractive, but, as we must glance at the ova of other insects, we will turn now to moths; and here, on the leaf of this elder tree, is a good example. But, first, I want you to look at this leaf with the normal sight. (Number 2 in the large illustration). You will notice that, on its under side, from the apex, and some distance down, the leaf is coated with a flat layer of some finely granulated substance. Then apply your microscopic eye, with its power of enlarging what you see by 25 diameters, and in the picture to the left we have depicted a portion of what you have just seen with the normal eye. That finely-granulated layer, we now see, consists of about 1,300 eggs of the common large Yellow Underwing moth, all regularly placed, side by side, and fitted, even, to the irregularly cut edge of the leaf; and all, undoubtedly, laid by one insect. Moreover, almost every egg in this large batch proved to be fertile and produced a living caterpillar. Such is the extent of the progeny of the Underwing moth. On the same elder branch, and on almost the next leaf, is another batch of about 200 eggs, of a larger size, but similar in form, though of more intricate design; some of which I have shown in illustration No. 1. The very common Vapourer moth deposits some similar eggs, the shells of which are not thin and iridescent, like the previous examples we have glanced at, but thicker and opaque, and remind one of a porcelain pot with a lid bearing an indentation in its center (No. 4). The female insect of this species of moth is curious from the fact that she has no wings to fly with, and on that account looks like a fat grub, her large dimensions being due to the several hundred eggs she carries. When the caterpillar is about to become a chrysalis, it weaves first a silken web to cover it; and the female moth, in due course, crawls from her chrysalis on to the web, and remains there. Then, in some mysterious manner, her winged mate, while pursuing his flight, is attracted to batch of eggs, about 1,300 in number magnified. or Moth. In upper left hand corner is female depositing her eggs on the Found on Elder Leaves. or Gooseberry Moth. wards her. She never moves from her place on the outside of the web that covers the cocoon, but deposits her batch of eggs about it, and then she dies amongst them. In the upper part of the illustration the female moth will be seen depositing her eggs—both moth and eggs being here shown of natural size. The eggs are laid about August, or later in the year, and remain as eggs throughout the winter and spring, hatching their larvae about the following June; differing in this way from all the previous examples shown, which produce their An Egg of the Silver-Washed Fritillary Butterfly. larvae in from a touch to a fortnight after being laid. Some of the silver roosters of the common Currant or Godbeard moth, whose larvae do so much damage to the trees from which it derives its popular name, are shown in No. 6. A careful search at any time during the summer and autumn months should reveal most of these and many other equally interesting examples in season at the time. JOHN J. WARD THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY. In the opinion of one who has traveled much and observed closely, the most truly and rightfully contented people in the United States to-day are the small landowners in what is known as the Upper White River Country, anywhere from Newport, Ark., to Carthage, Mo. They are contented because their surroundings are ideal and, until recently, the great, uneasy, disquieting world, with its artificial needs and inadequate compensations, has been to them but little more tangible than a dream. Here, still existent, and by reason of their very rarity at this day and time more delectable than in the past, are the conditions which have ever appealed with irresistible force to the independent-spirited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the supreme ruler of his own little principality; acknowledging no master save the law—and possibly his feminine helpmeet; cringing to no employer; asking no favors from the world, save those that his neighbors freely extend and expect as freely in return. He lives in a latitude where the extremes of heat or cold are never known, and at an altitude that insures perfect health. The richest bounty of Nature has been showered upon him with unsparing hand, but it is a question whether he more than dimly realizes the fact. He accepts as a matter of course the fertile soil which produces in abundance every cultivable growth common to the north temperate zone, the surrounding forests of valuable woods and the underlying stratas of precious minerals, the springs and streams of translucent purity on every hand, the wealth of fish and game at his very door, such as less favored mortals annually travel hundreds of miles to find. He is contented, but small credit is his for that, for how could he well be otherwise than content? It is sad that such idealistic conditions may not continue, but it is written that the present possessors of this favored land must soon give place to others more appreciative of its incomparable features. A railroad has recently cut its way through the best of this region, and the unaccustomed rustle of bank notes and chink of coin will eventually tempt the hill-dweller to part with his birthright. So it has always been in the world's history—the good things that are ours without price invariably pass from our hands before we come to understand their value. The White River country will shortly be discovered anew by a class of immigrants better capable of judging its possibilities—the men who seek modest homes where the "lay of the land" will effectually prevent crowding by too close neighbors, where their cattle can fatten on free range, where the wealth of forest and mine awaits development by intelligent workers, and where the game and fish offer enjoyable recreation to all who have leisure and inclination for sport. Seamen Given Privileges. A marriage bill introduced in the British parliament allows the marriage of a seaman to take place by license in the diocese of the port where his ship is lying, if he has been a resident for 15 days on the ship or partly on the ship and partly on shore within the diocese. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE. Get at the Cause-Cure the Kidneys Don't neglect backache. It warns you of trouble in the kidneys. Avert the danger by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A.

J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of Lufkin, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawmill, was laid up six weeks, and from that time had pain in my back whenever I stooped or lifted. The urine was badly disordered and for a long time I had attacks of gravel. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills the gravel passed out, and my back got well.

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called cream of tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a sufficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm. On the contrary, alum is wholesome in proper quantities. This is undoubtedly the reason the State of Missouri quickly repealed a law that prohibited the manufacture of the most wholesome of all baking powders. So much for Alum Baking Powders.

PALATABLE AND NOURISHING DISHES EASILY MADE. Proper Use of the Hay Box—Additions to the Breakfast Menu—New and Old Ways of Preparing Tomatoes. Oat meal and corn mush can be easily prepared by aid of the hay box without danger of burning. Take any wooden box three or four inches larger on every side than the kettle to be used. Line it with several thicknesses of newspaper or brown wrapping paper. Put in the bottom three or four inches of hay, set the empty kettle in and pack hay around it to the top of the kettle. This will be permanent, or until the hay needs changing on account of carelessness in spilling anything on it. Remove the kettle, put into it whatever is to be cooked, boil on range or gas until thoroughly heated through. Cover closely, and while boiling remove quickly to the hay box. Have a bag filled with hay to fit the box. Cover with that, close down lid and do not open for several hours. OAT MEAL.—One and a half cups rolled oats, five cups boiling water, two scant teaspoons salt. Boll on range, stirring constantly about ten minutes, or until it begins to thicken Put in hay box over night. CORN MEAL.—One cup corn meal, four and a half cups boiling water, one level teaspoonful salt. Pour boiling water into the meal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Let it boll up hard, remove to hay box for four or five hours. Pour into bread tin, and slice and fry for breakfast next morning. PUFFED RICE BRITTLE. — Use recipe for butterscotch, and when done stir in three cups of puffed rice and spread on buttered dish to cool PUREE OF CORN.—Save one pint of water in which corn has been boiled the day before, also one ear of corn. Cut the corn from the cob into the water, scrape thoroughly, add a pint of milk, also a rounded tablespoon of flour and butter blended. Let it come to a boil and season with saltspoon of salt. TOMATOES AND CORN. - Pare ripe tomatoes and cut into small pieces. Stew until nearly soft, then add one-third as much raw corn shaved from the cob, and cook ten minutes, more or less, if the corn is very young or tender. To one quart of tomato and one and one-third cups of corn add a rounded teaspoon of sugar, a level teaspoon of salt, a saltspoon of pepper and a level tablespoon of butter and serve hot. TOMATO FIGS.—The figs should be made from the small yellow pear tomatoes because their shape and texture are much like real figs. Pour boiling water over them and let stand a few minutes, drain and peel. Weigh and put them in a deep bowl with an equal weight of sugar. Let stand two days, pour off the sirup which must be boiled and skimmed until perfectly clear. Pour over the tomatoes and let stand two days as before. Boll and skim the sirup again. After this has been repeated the third time the figs are fit to dry if the weather is good. But if it is damp or rainy, let them stand in the sirup until drying weather. Spread on large earthen plates, put in the sun to dry, which will take about a week. Pack in small wooden boxes with fine sugar scattered between the layers, and tissue paper laid on the top. These figs will keep for years. FRIED TOMATOES WITH CREAM, —Cut half a dozen good sized ripe tomatoes in halves, and put with cut side down, in a pan. Pour in a tablespoon of melted butter and cook slowly until tender. Set the tomatoes on a hot dish and after the butter has browned a little stir in a rounding tablespoon of flour and when wet mixed turn in a cup of hot milk. Cook three minutes, and add half a level teaspoon or more of salt, and a little pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and serve. Best Dressing for Lettuce. The very common way of eating lettuce and very likely the worst is to dress it with sugar and vinegar. This reprehensible method seems to be especially common at farmers' tables, where the best of vegetables ought always to be served, but where sometimes nothing but the worst can be found. On the farm, where plenty of cream should always be available, the home-made mayonnaise dressing ought to be the standard. There are so many ways of making this delicacy wrong that no particular recipe can insure success. Doubtless the best dressing of all for lettuce is made of oil, vinegar, salt and red pepper—what is commonly called French dressing. Persons who are not familiar with this are apt to use too much vinegar and too little oil and to apply too much of the dressing altogether.

To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently—I would not say positively that it was in your columns—an article on the White House which contained several misstatements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809 and that its first occupant was President Madison. The fact is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1800. The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1814 it was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the article referred to was the statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used considerable paint myself and wondered that "canned" paint should be used on such an important building when all painters know that pure white lead and linseed oil make the best paint. It so happened also that I knew white lead and linseed oil—not ready-mixed paint—were used on the White House, because I had just read a booklet published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers who also manufacture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White House nothing but "the best and purest of paint could be used," and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people, those who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material. Every married woman under 40 knows a man she thinks she might marry if her husband should happen to die. Important to Mothers.

Saw Own Contrivances at Work. Lord Kelvin paid a visit to the British schoolship for navigating officers at Portsmouth, on which are several mechanical contrivances and appliances of his own invention. The practical working of these had to be demonstrated and explained to him. Lord Kelvin understood the theoretical principles of the mechanism, but had never seen them applied and at work before. Has Been Buried for Centuries. The body of a young woman has been discovered in the ancient Priddy lead mines in Somersetshire, England, some 16 or 17 feet deep in the waterbone slit that has been accumulating since the days before the Romans came. The hair is wonderfully preserved, and remains in the plait in which it was worked. Beside the body were found five large blue and green glass beads. How to Put On Gloves. Open and turn back the gloves to the thumb and powder lightly. Put the fingers in their places, not the thumb, and carefully work them on with the first finger and thumb of the other hand until they are quite down; never press between the fingers. Pass the thumb into its place with care and work on as the fingers. Turn back the glove and slide it over the hand and wrist, never pinching the kid, and work the glove into proper place by means of the lightest pressure, always allowing the kid to slide between the fingers. In finishing care should be taken in fastening the first button. GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in day time. To take "tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

"My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to cut Cuteura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

Burmese Wives The Burmese woman must make an excellent wife.

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

Wilson. Atty. 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 purifeth 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 pitted. 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 end 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. One of the worst delusions that ever crept into a middle-aged man's mind is the conviction that he has done his best work, that he is growing old and must soon give place to younger men. —Success Magazine.
