VOL. XVIII. LOWELL STRIKE OFF Mill Operatives Lose Fight After a Long Struggle. TO TRY SOME OTHER DAY High Price of Gotten a Mitigating Factor in Declination of Mill Owners to Make Advance in Wages. The textile council in session at Lowell, Mass., Sunday afternoon declared the great strike at the mills in that city at an ezd. Every union affiliated with the council was represented and the vote was unanimous. Mule spinners and loom fixers were included in the vote, despite statements that they would oppose a return to work. The meeting lasted an hour. There was no dissension. The situation was discussed carefully and with no suggestion of excitement. The vote showed every delegation favorable to a return to work at once. When asked for a statement, President Conroy, said smilingly: "We now worship at the altar of defeat, but later we shall rise again and conquer." Agent William Southworth, secretary of the agents, said: It will be impossible to start the balance of the machinery so as to employ at once all who will come back. Running with an incomplete force for three weeks has disturbed the balance that usually exists between stocks and prices in the various departments. A mill may have depleted stock in certe'n kinds of yarns, and for that reason be unable to start all of its looms, even if the full complement of help is available. It is for the selling agents and the treasurers to decide in view of the market, whether we shall attempt to run in full. The strike began on March 30 and involved about 17,000 operatives. The mills were shut down until June 1, when the agents opened the gates and the majority of the operatives went mack to work. The strike has cost in wages about $1,200,000. It is understood that the agents will take back all the old help they have room for, and will make no discrimination against the leaders of the strikef movement. The high price of cotton precluded any hope of the success of the strikers' campaign for a 10 per cent increase. NO EXTRAS FOR PRISONERS. Request of Feudist Leader, Judge Hargis, Turned Down. A dispatch from Lexington says: Notwithstanding Judge Hargis' request that Jett and White be allowed "extras" at his expense, both men ate a jail breakfast Saturday morning. It was visiting day, but visitors were not allowed to see the prisoners. Jailer Robert Wallace says he intends to be present at every meeting in the jail of any person who calls on Jett or White and will take absolutely no chances on any collusion with outsiders. HANNA WOULDN'T HAVE IT. If Nominated for Vice Presidency He Would Decline to Accept. In an interview at Cleveland, Ohio. Sunday, Senator Hanna reiterated his recent statement that he was not and would not be a candidate for the vice presidency, and if his nomination was made he would decline to accept. · He said further, that his ambitions did not lie in the direction of the white house and that nothing could induce him to alter his decision in the matter. A Washington dispatch says: An investigation will be made of the money order bureau and the dead letter offices. Both of the bureau handle considerable money and the investigation is a measure of precaution. There are no specific charges.

JUROR SAVES JETT One Lone Man Caused Expected Mistrial at Jackson. VENUE CHANGE IS MADE Unable to Agree, Jury In Marcum Murder Trial is Discharged, Although Eleven, Were for Verdict of Guilty. But for one juror, Curtis Jett would have been convicted at Jackson, Ky., Friday of the murder of J. B. Marcum, and a majority of the jury also favored the conviction of Thomas White. Both are now almost 100 miles from home in jail at Lexington and their next trial will be at Cynthlana, more than 100 miles from Jackson, away from the mountains and in the blue grass region, under very different conditions from those existing in Breathitt county. The interest in the change of venue was second only to the verdict. When Judge Redwine refused to hear arguments on the change of location, it was stated by many in the court house that the presiding judge had heard from Governor Beckham, who is generally believed to have had something to do with the change of venue to Harrison county, which is in the eighteenth judicial district of Kentucky, where J. J. Osborne is the circuit judge. L. P. Fryer is the commonwealth's attorney and the sheriff and other court officers are also favorably known. With such general confidence in the surroundings of the next trial there is a general belief that "everything is for the best after all." If the verdict had been one of conviction, the residents of Jackson feel that violence would have followed, and that it would have extended to others than witnesses, jurors and those who had taken part in the prosecution. Colonel Williams was at Frankfort Friday night conferring with the governor regarding the withdrawal of the troops. It is understood, that no number of toops can stop the lurking fire bugs or hidden assassins, but that at least one company should be kept in Jackson as long as Provost Marshal Longmire is kept in charge of the town. There is a feeling of relief so far as old scores are concerned, but there is still a reign of terror because it is believed that others "have been marked." Jury Couldn't Agree. At 8 o'clock Friday morning the jury in the Jett-White case filed into the court room and Foreman Richard Millard said: "Your honor, we find there is no chance of coming to an agreement." Judge Redwine said: "I will have to keep you gentlemen together until Saturday night unless you get a verdict sooner. There is no reason why a verdict should not be reached in this case." Juror Millard said: "One man has as much right to his opinion as another and he may stick to it." It was believed from this that there was only one man between a verdict of guilty or not guilty. The scene after the announcement of the verdict was in, no wise exciting. Some started to clap hands, but were stopped by the court. The guards took immediate possession of the prisoners and they were closely guarded back to jail. People gathered around the court house in, knots discussing the case, but there was no disturbance and no outward sign of trouble. Attorney Byrd, after a consultation at 10 o'clock, made a motion for a change of venue. Judge Redwine refused to hear arguments, but of his own accord changed the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison county, at the next term of court. He surprised the spectators by at once ordering the prisoners sent to Lexington under a detachment of soldiers and accompanied by Ellis Jones. They left Jackson at 2 o'clock and were placed in Lexington jail for safe keeping at 7 o'clock Friday night. It is stated from semi-official sources that the jury stood eleven for conviction and one for acquittal in the Jett case, and seven for conviction and five for acquittal in the White case. Fitzpatrick, the man who finally stood out for the acquittal of Jett, says he did not base his opinion on the argument of the attorneys, but on the evidence in the case. He said there was in his mind not only a reasonable doubt of Jett's guilt, but there is also reason to believe that he had nothing to do with the murder of Marcum. First American Baby Born in Guam. Advice from Guam announces the birth there of the first American child on the island. It is a girl and its father is Paymaster Ryan.

Lightning struck a hut in which was stored 3,000 pounds of dynamite at the new mines now being opened near Senecaville, Ohio, twelve miles from Cambridge, Saturday afternoon during a storm, and killed six men and injured a score of others, besides ruining the mine shaft and breaking nearly all the windows in Senecayllio, a mining town of 300 people, half a mile from the mine. The men killed and injured were carpenters and others employed in opening the mines and building the shafting. When the storm came up the men took refuge in John Saltzgabers barn, some distance from the mide, and saddenly a blinding flash came and in an instant the barn was demolished and the men scattered within a radius of 100 feet. The dead are: William Mahoney, Samuel Hartup, Russell Hartup, Hiram Wilson, Hayes Hutchison, Robert Wilson. Among the injured are: Richard Davis, two sons of Richard Bassford, Burton Burton, John Green, William Nelson, James Lowery, John Shears, Charles Read. DERBY WON BY THE PICKET. The Picket, a horse that never before flashed first past the post, won the American derby at Chicago Saturday. He ran the distance, 1 1-2 miles, faster than it was ever run before in the race. His time was 2:33. Claude, the winner of three derbies was second. Bernays, the Cincinnati candidate, was third. A crowd of 70,000 people witnessed the event. The derby was a record-breaking affair in more than the fast time that was made. Nineteen horses went to the post, the largest previous field being fifteen. The largest crowd that ever gathered on a western race track covered the Washington park grounds. The race was worth $32,275 gross value, the richest in the history of the race, with one exception. TO REBUILD GAINESVILLE MILL Contract Let to Massachusetts/Firm and Work Will Be Pushed and Work Will Be Pushed. The firm of G. H. Cutting & Co.

The government will promptly give bond for recase of the vessel. Grand Jury at Montgomery, Ala., Returns Seventeen True Bills. The United States grand jury at Montgomery investigating peonage cases in Alabama, reported seventeen indictments Saturday, making 163 in all thus far fourth Governor Cummings, of Iowa, upon receipt of advices that a crisis was approaching in the street railway strike at Dubuque issued orders Saturday morning to mobilize three companies of militia at that point. Governor Orders Troops to Hold Street Car Strikers In Check. A special from Richmond, Va., says: Governor Montague Tuesday afternoon ordered the Seventh regiment, the Richmond Blues battalion, and the Richmond Howitzers, an artillery company, on duty to aid in maintaining order as against the street car strikers and their sympathizers. Five of the Seventh regiment companies are located in Richmond. The other seven are from Danville, Farmville, Charlottesville, Staunton, Lynchburg, Alexandria and Roanoke. There was much rioting during the day, PARSON RAISES IRE Preacher Broughton Scores the Georgia Tech. PRESIDENT HALL REPLIES Professor Turner Also Makes a Tart Rejoinder—Allegations Were Made During Sunday Sermon and Elfcits Much Criefism. There has been considerable criticism expressed over the sermon which Dr. Len G. Broughton delivered at the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta last Sunday night, in which he severely castigated the moral character of the professors and students of the Georgia School of Technology, the leading technical institution in the south. In the prelude to his sermon, Dr. Broughton denounced the moral plane of the institution innb unmistakable terms, saying that "as matters now stand a boy might almost as well go to hell for grace as to the Tech for character." He then denounced the recent banquet held by the graduating class, in which he said that "the students and the members of the faculty swigged wine and champagne together." He said the people of the state were indignant at this state of affairs. This attack upon the Tech has aroused much adverse criticism President Hall Talks. In an interview which he gave out Monday morning, President, Lyman Hall, of the Tech, said: "I feel it my duty to reply to the sermon of Dr. Broughton as follows: "No member of the faculty has, in my knowledge, ever attended a banquet with students. The alumni banquets are annual affairs which have been given for the last ten years at the close of the session in June. The occasions have not been abused nor have they ever been the cause of unfavorable remark. The members of the faculty and board of trustees, the governor and visiting dignitaries have always been invited. "The statement is made that certain people are tired of paying their taxes to educate drunkards, etc. In reply to this (if it needs reply) I can only point to our list of graduates and say it is the boast of the institution that not one of them has ever been known to be dissipated or unreliable in business. "The fellowing charge is made: 'There is too much drinking out there.' Also, 'the faculty sets the pace.' Surely every friend of the school, familiar with its personnel and work, must know this is a slander against the institution; and to those who are not familiar with the institution, it becomes my duty to say in reply to such statements that I have never known of any member of the faculty being under the influence of liquor. "As to the student body, there is no college dormitory in the United States which is more closely looked after as regards the habits and hours of students. In the fifteen years of the school's existence there has never been a case made in police court or of the city against a student of the institution for drunkenness or disorderly conduct. Surely this is a record which cannot be surpassed. In the fifteen years of our existence there has been only one or two cases of students having been found under the influence of whisky, and the penalty has been expulsion. Professor Turner Talks. Professor Frank C. Turner, of the Tech, and treasurer of the alumni association, gave out the following rather tart interview in regard to the statements of Dr. Broughton: "As an alumnus of the school and a member of the alumni association I express the sentiment of the association in saying that this villainous attack is beneath our notice. "Such charges against our school are false, and the alumni are indignant that they are brought, though we feel sure that the people of the country will consider the source and take these statements at what they are worth. "It will probably be recalled that this reverend gentleman a few years since made an attack upon the young lady stenographers of this city, which attack is summed in his statement that 'it was as well to give a young lady a straight passport to hell as a diploma from one of our stenographic colleges.' These words were thrown back into his teeth. Not satisfied with trying to unmirch the virtue of some of the fairest young women of the state, he now seems to be anxious to injure the reputation and character of its young men, and cast a reflection upon an institution whose work and reputation are conceded to be above reproach." --- REPORTER CALLED DOWN. Alleged Interview, Widely Published, Causes Ex-President Cleveland Worry and Brings Dental. A Princeton, N. J., dispatch says: Ex-President Grover Cleveland, on being shown the alleged interview reported by Mr. Bailey, Washington correspondent of The Galveston News, made the following statement to the Associated Press correspondent Friday: "I am very much astonished to see such an outcome from the visit made to me by one who only gained friendly access to be my reason of his being a representative of a paper formerly conducted, and owned by my deceased friend, Colonel Belo, and now conducted by his son. "I don't know whether Bailey intended it or not, but he has given a very erroneous impression of what occurred between us. "If I had dreamed that he would attempt to construct an important interview, dealing with important subjects, out of what was salton the occasion, out of what was said in the occasion of ed, according to my habit, upon its being then and there reduced to writing and submitted to me. Instead of gaining the least intimation of such an intention on his part, his first words were that he knew an ex-president was not a person to be interviewed and he left me without the least hint that I had been interviewed for publication. "All I care to add is that the substance of the Interview as published is, in some respects, grossly inaccurate. There are statements in it attributed to me that I certainly would not have made to a person no nearer to me and no more in my confidence than Mr. Bailey." The Alleged Interview. Mr. Bill-1, to whom former President Cleveland alludes, spent Thursday at Princeton, and when he arrived in Washington prepared an account of his conversation with Mr. Cleveland. The correspondent believes Mr. Cleveland deeply in earnest in two things. The first, that his name shall not be considered in connection with the democratic nomination. The second is his hearty desire for the unity of the party and success of democratic principles. According to Mr. Bailey, Mr. Cleveland made the following statement: "I have never spoken to anybody on the subject of a fourth candidacy; have never written to a single political friend one way or another, nor have I been written to or spoken to by them. There is not a political leader of any prominence endeavoring to advance any movement to nominate me in any state, so far as I have been advised, nor do I anticipate that any such offer will be made by any leader, prominent or obscure, in any locality of the country. "In this respect the situation is more than pleasing. In earnestly desiring the democratic party to become strong and united as of old, committed to the simple traditions and sound principles which made it aggressive and victorious, no thought of personal interest has disturbed me. "I have on several occasions within a year undertaken to perform the floor which usually falls to the private in the ranks, but there has not lurked within me the hope of any reward save the consciousness of having made an effort to assist in bringing about salutary conditions in the party." Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Bailey said, would talk no more politics, but in response to a remark that southern people were pleased with what he had recently said on the race question, the face of the former president kindled with interest as he said it was indeed gratifying to him to know this. He said he had received hundreds of letters conveying kindly sentiments from the southern people since he had spoken on the race problem, and, believing he has fairly appreciated the difficulties with which the southern people had always to contend, it was all the more a pleasing reflection that he had the commendation of people for whom he had ever entertained respect and admiration.

LIFT up a standard for the people. GREAT is that life that is worthy to be exemplified. SINS of omission are as bad as those of commission. THE TRIBUNE's editor attended the Grand Lodge of Masons at Americus this week. If people could change the world to suit their fancy we would have a different world each day. It is not so much the wrongs that we commit that make many a life unless, but it is in many cases the good we fail to accomplish. The burning of the colored man. White in Deleware this week is another blot on the civilized world. We fully believe in the punishment of the wicked, but it should be done through the process of law. Read and Re Providence R. L., April 28th, 1903. Editor of SAVANNA TRIBUNE. After having resided here for nearly four years I feel a desire to write some thing to your paper that may be of interest to your many readers. In the first place I wish to say that your paper has almost become an indispensable companion of the things and sayings of our people there and elsewhere. I admire the stand you have taken in the defense of our civil rights, character, building and etc. Also your attitude toward industrial training and our noble hearted president. Entirely different from your Boston contemporary, the German is more rigid. I solely regret the long standing insufficiency of our school accommodations there. This is one of our greatest disadvantages and is doing a great wrong to our people retarding our progress. I remember when I was eleven years old in 1880. I had to stop going to school. After remaining in a dark room under medical treatment for over six weeks I had sufficiently recovered to resume my studies again, but that school year, and two other successive years I was unable to gain admittance to either of the two public schools then existing on account of a lack of money. I went to school has gloned an irreparable wrong to me, and I feel that it is doing the same to others. Those last three years were the only ones that my poor widowed mother could spare for my schooling. Being the eldest of three children I naturally had to be the first of them to launch out to assist my mother in the learning of the lessons and all the learning. I now posed was gained by hard night studies with private tutors, at almost the expense of my sight which is considerably impaired by the ordeal. I am satisfied that I would have been a more useful citizen had I the opportunity to prepare for it. There are many young men and women there now who are learning and assertion in their own case. I yes earnestly hope that the time is not far off when our people will have all the schools needed. Here, there is school room to spare. All children wiht discrimination are required to attend the school nearest their residence and they do not seem to be any farther than our City school or our Pulaski's. Close for that all the children go home to their dinners instead of taking lunches with them. They can go from primary, through grammar and high schools to State Normal school without furnishing a book at their own expense, even evening schools are provided twenty two weeks a year whose employment preempts them from attending day school. All of the e a vantages are very good, but I fear that our people here are not making the use of them that I fancy would be made of them if they were there. After all from my observations here in regards to grammar-school I would prefer the separate school system of the children, the placement to our educated young men and women, the children gain a better knowledge of the genius and history of the race and receives more inspiration in general. I am only sorry that they are not proportionate; nurses are as well equipped as those for the whites are. I have not as much as seen a colored public school teacher here, one was appointed here shortly before I came, but some how such a fuss was made over her appointment that as usual in such cases 'away was found out' and it is described as known that a thousand colored people live here and many of whom are tax-payers. This single fact is almost enough to take all of the aspiration and ambition out of our children. Further they are taught by inference by prejudiced teachers that the historian record has been done by other than people of our race. Some grammar school graduates here never knew that Crispus Attucks (the first martyr for American Independence) was a colored man, nor heard of Fred Douglas or Booker T. Washington. I am almost sure that he had been a school student, who would almost have known the grand parents of these great personages. For under our race-interested colored teachers there, in some manner, not in the routine of studies some occasion would have arisen to introduce matter concerning such people of our race. From observation here, we can be assured that he entirely educated outside of the race and become truly interested therein. I do not mean to become narrow minded on the race line, but I do mean however that to be truly interested in our race for the purpose of rendering assistance one must learn as much as possible within the race, worthy of consideration, that we get all the education we can, wherever we can. For whatever the ultimate settlement of the race problem be, except it be extinction, we will need it all. Our children be taught their true position in this country, we should understand what present, we occupy, and that it requires the most persistent, patient and strenuous efforts on the part of each of them to rise from where they are. They must get good character before and prepare for usefulness. To call them what we are as a whole equal the Caucasian race is to deceive them. How The Greatest Need. I am sure that the greatest need of the Negro is a good portion of the good things of, this world's goods, and if we had this, there would be no Race Problem. So the sooner we become property owners, the sooner we get a sure footing in business, the sooner will we hear less of the much talked of Negro Problem. So the sooner the Negro becomes the owner-of lands the beads of large stores, in other words let him first seek, or let him get, homes, business and all other things will be added unto him. Now the thing to do is to stop spending all that is made in those things which will do us no good, and take that money and put it into nice homes, build up business, and in so doing will make the way for those who will in a short time be ready for the place which we can give to them. Mr. L. S. Reed, is helping along this line, he has sold many of our people homes, that is a credit to any man, what he has done for others he can do for you. Facts Stated. Please allow me a space in your column to state a few facts: Every law-abiding, self-repeated, hard working, colored citizen of Savannah should denounce in unmeasured terms those young men of the race who do not work, but loaf and do nothing to elevate themselves, but do everything to degrade and disgrace the race. Those who choose the sunny side of the street in winter, and the shady side in the summer and use all sorts of vulgar and unbecoming language which embarrasses ladres as they pass. It is this "nowadic" class that drifts to crimes and by idleness and evil aspirations, and that they do not know the value of a dollar, and the enormity of a crime. These men are millatones welded with chains around the neck of those of us who are trying to be something in the world. There are now palliating circumstances, mitigating conditions, nothing on earth will ever to the slightest degree excuse this worthless class. Earnestly and anxiously for the Negro, to equalize the faultless and most comprehensive ideas of citizenship men lend their aid to assist in their material advancement. Savannah has among its population, broad and liberal hearted men.—J. B. Young, Savannah, Ga. Samaritan Grand Lodge. The State Grand Lodge No.17 of Ga. L. O of G. S, and D. of S. met in its 18th Annual Session, on June 9, 1903, at Brunswick, Ga. The following officers were elected for the year: J. R. Lott, of Atlanta, R.W G C; E. J. Watson, Brunwick, R W D G; J M Telly, Savannah, R W V C; W. H. Whitaker, West Point, R W G S; S. W. Lucky, Atlanta, R W G T; Caroline Bailey, Brunwick, R W G P D; Willie Brown, Savannah, R W G P D; Mary Shields, Atlanta, R W G D of F; Celia Houston, Savannah, R W G D of S. The delegates and visitors were cared for nicely by the citizens of Brunwick. The next meeting will be held at Savannah in June 1904. College Dots. Most of the teachers are spending their vacation at College. Vice-Pres. Sugs is at Greensboro N.C., with his family. He will return in time to attend the State Teachers Association at Valdosta. Prof. Cottin is at Valdosta conducting a Peabody Institute. He will return the latter part of this week or first of next. Prof. Thompson who at the last session of the commissioners was elected assistant instructor of mathematics will attend Columbia College New York, during vacation. Prof. Cobb's successor has not been sel cted. President Wright will spend the most of the vacation on the campus. Any information pertaining to the school will be cheerfully given. Address him at College Ga., or call in person. Profs. Pearson and Thompson and Mrs. Pearson will attend the N. E. A, which meets in Boston July 6-10. Mrs. Himes and Mrs. McLester will spend a part of their vacation at Spartanburg and Athens respectively. Supts. Himes and McLester will keep bachelor's balls during their absence. Mrs. Golden is spending the vacation with relatives in Augusta. St. Philip's Dots. Notwithstanding the heat on Sunday there was a large congregation out to hear Rev. F. R. Sims' first sermon as pastor of St. Philips. Rev. Sims delivered a fine discourse and the congregation was greatly impressed with what they heard. Rev. Sims is a fine theologian, there is no doubt about that and he is well liked by everybody. At 8 p.m. Rev. Sims preached a great sermon to a large congregation and it was received and very beneficial. It is said by those that visit St. Philips that the Sunday school is one of the best disciplined school anywhere. That accounts for the fine corps of teachers and its board of officers that take so much interest in the children that attend. Our rally did not come up to expectation on Sunday. One draw back to the rally was that so many of our very best members are out of the city. Bro F. J. Wright was buried from this church on Monday afternoon. Bro. Wright had been sick quite awhile. He died triumphantly in Christ. We are glad to note that Mr. C. H. Price and family are improving. They had quite a narrow escape from being poisoned by eating squashes. Remember our excursion to Beaufort, S. C., Monday July 27. Endeavor Service. The Allen Christian Endeavor Society of St. Philips Monumental church, New street, has prepared a special program for to morrow afternoon at 4 p.m. Many interesting talks, good singing and an entertaining topic. This will be the last meeting of the society before the delegate leaves to attend the National Christian Endeavor Convention, which meets in Denver, Col. You are cordially invited. Proclamation.

Never dreamed she thought of me— My sweet child neighbor; summers seven the blossom of her life had blown, and to my saddened heart, and lone She seemed a bit of heaven. Never dreamed she thought of me, For I was old, with weary eyes, And warm and gray, and what had she, The laughing child, in sympathy With life so steeped in tears? A PARDONABLE DECEPTION. By LADY GILBERT. WO young married women were sitting by the fire in a dressing-room of an English, country house at the hour of 1 o'clock in the morning. The older had beauty expressive of a strong, tender character. The younger, a ring-featured, pliant little creature with eyes full of curiosity, was speaking. "No. I thought of him only as a slick man under my care, and was pleased to amuse him with whatever discourse he might fancy. One day he gave me his ideas about the nursing vocation, which included the opinion that ladies with home, money and position ought not to forsake their more immediate duties for the hospital, but that the career of the care of the sick "Exactly! I will gratify you, for if I do not tell you the truth you will lurveat a fiction." The inquisitive one laughed and nodded. She who was willing to be communicative continued: "You know I was without family or kindred, heiress of a large income and a beautiful old home. After my schooldays I attached myself to a good lady who traveled with me over a great deal of the world, for I felt unbearably solitary in this place, and I had a lovely desire to visit other countries and have the experience of other lives besides my own. After some years, my dear companion having died, I found myself here, alone except for servants and the neighbors and acquaintances, who made me an object of their attentions." "I wonder you did not marry at once," intertwined the inquirer. "Many wondered; but partly because my friend had warned me, perhaps too urgently, against mercenary men, a good deal because I had not been collied or attracted by any of the marriages I had seen, and I suppose," with a sudden smile, "because I had not met with the man who was happily my fate. I shrank from all suggestions of the kind and held on with both hands to my liberty. "After a season or two of pleasure in both town and country I craved for another change. Ugrateful for my downdements I envied some others their poverty, and at last resolved to taste an experience which it seemed that Providence had hardly ordained for me. I allowed my friends to suppose that I was bent on further foreign wanderings, wound up my affairs in preparation for a long absence, committed my home once more to the guardianship of my trusted housekeeper, and departed this (society) life. "Imazing me then in St. Thomas's Hospital, in cap and apron, studying hard to fit myself for first-class work as a nursing sister. "Oh, that was what you did, was it?" broke in the listener. "How quiet you kept it." My dear, I wish I had seen you in the cap; it must have been so becoming to you." "It was different from this," said the narrator, touching the diamond star in her hair, "but I liked it well. There was no time to think about becoming; I was thoroughly sick of all that, and had left it with my knees and jewels at my banker's. What I wanted was work worth doing, an assurance that my suffering fellow creatures were ever such a little bit the better for my existence." The listener made a little grimace and smiled. "You were always so odd, dear," she said, indulgently. "Just as I finished my term and received all my qualifications the war broke out, and I was soon in the thick of it, for I was of the very first hand of nurses dispatched to the front." "I can't believe it. You were not afraid of being shot, or blood poisoned, or terrified into fits." "I just felt that I was living in earnest." "Come to the point, however. Where did you meet him?" "I think the very first time I saw him was when he lay in the hospital bed in Pretoria covered with blood. You shrink at the thought. I did not at the sight. I went to work, to help the surgeon and to make the patient as comfortable as I could after a cruel operation." "And he fell in love with you on the spot?" "He wasn't in a condition for any such prompt proceeding. He required all his energies to wrestle with the fever through which I nursed him. The first time I spoke to him about anything beyond his medicine and nourishment and the ease of his pillows was after he had been some time consalvescent—one day when I saw a particularly sad look on his brown face and asked if I could do anything for him; perhaps write a letter to his friends. He thanked me and said he had no relatives, no one would be specially interested in hearing about him; and I thought it a pity that somebody should not be glad of his recovery as well as of the distinctions that awaited him." "So you began to be glad yourself" "I did my best to cheer him, and on the long, hot summer evenings while I was fanning him we had many a quiet conversation. He was much interested in all the nurses, was always admiring their skill and gentleness, deploring their ratings, which he can afford more to be fitted than the girls." "So you married a poor man?" "A distinguished soldier." "I know still"— I never dreamed she thought of me— The darling one bleak morning came, Like flash of spring on wintry hills, A bunch of golden daffodils, he gave And scrawled "With.love" her name. I never dreamed she thought of me— she was a surpruple, she was My chilling mind and keep it warm, And live within my heart, a charm To conjure bitterness! "No. I thought of him only as a slick man under my care, and was pleased to amuse him with whatever discourse he might fancy. One day he gave me his ideas about the nursing vocation, which included the opinion that ladies with home, money and position ought not to forsake their more immediate duties for the hospital, but that the career of the care of the slick should be left open to those women who needed an occupation and the means of obtaining a livelihood. I thought it for the moment a proscale and disappointing theory, but on reflection I admitted that it was a kindly one with regard to the less favored by fortune of our sex. I felt from that moment, however, that if he knew my little history I should be under his disapproval, and I allowed him to rank me among the mercenaries to whom he had given his sympathy." "That he was going to love me if I did not take pains to disenchant him; and partly because he was a sick and lonely man, partly for some other reason that I could not quite understand, I felt no inclination to do any such thing. I knew he was a poor soldier and that he thought I was a poor nurse, and I thought if this man is going to love me, why, I shall not allow the dress of the world, which is, unfortunately mine, to hinder him. I kept my dreadful secret, and long before he was fit to leave the hospital he had asked me to be his wife and I had accepted him." "You—you didn't mind at all about his being—lame?" "Mind it? Yes. I did. I loved him the more for it. Loved him the better, because, though brave and distinguished he was no longer fit for service. He had the vargest ideas of how we were to live. We had very little money between us when we went on board ship to return to England, for my bankbook was buried deep in the bottom of my trunk, and I did not dare to display more money than just as much as I had carried by my labor in the hospital. I urged him not to think about money, as I was a capital manager and knew how to make a little go a long way. I was exceedingly happy, knowing all that I was able to do for him, yet I found myself in a serious dilemma. The question was. How could I break the news that I had received him? "I had been humored to the top of my bent in marrying a man who loved me for myself, in ignorance that I possessed a fortune. He must be a strange man, indeed, I thought, if later on, when the truth came to his knowledge, he were to prove displeased or disappointed. But the fact remained that I had married him under false pretences, and I felt ashamed of it. "I felt also unwilling to hasten the inevitable moment which should see me even in seeming lose the enviable position of a woman who has been sought by the man she loves for love and love alone; and the long voyage that seemed all too short passed without my having said one word to lighten him as to the future of case and luxury which I had provided for him. "While he took his convalescent tap on deck in the afternoons I paced up and down thinking out my difficulty. The time was coming when I must have my mind make up as to what steps I was to take, for I had resolved not to allow my whim or mistake to cost him one day of less comfort than I was able to bestow on him. At last I hit on a plan. You know Beatrix. She is my dearest friend, so much so that she might have kept me from the hospital experience if only she had not always been so bent on marrying me to some one of her acquaintances. I wrote to her and posted the letter at a convenient moment to travel by a faster-going vessel than our own. The letter ran somewhat like this: "My Dear Beatrix: I am traveling to England with my husband, a distinguished and at present invalid soldier, who is under the impression that he has married a penniless nurse. You can help me to break the truth to him gracefully. I know your husband is spending the summer in his yacht. Will you take possession of my house and invite me and my husband to spend some weeks with you? I shall rely on you to act well the hostess, and when I see you I will tell you the sequel." "The result of this stroke of genius was an invitation from Beatrix, which awaited us when we arrived at our hotel. "He was a little unwilling at first, but I overruled all his objections, and as soon, as possible we were established as the guests of Beatrix here in our own comfortable home." "Of course I found my way to my wardrobe, and it was sweet to see my husband's surprise when he saw me dressed, for dinner. I had put on the first pretty gown I found. It happened to be a white satin, and naturally it made a change in my appearance." "This is charming. Mary, he said, that she does." had some of my old frocks in charge.' I said. 'You know I am a lady—' "That I always knew," he said gravely, but I saw by the slight cloud on his face that he feared I had a taste for expensive things which he could not give me. "You were good not to ask any one to meet us," I said to Beatrix at table. "Max is hardly ready for society as yet." "I guessed you would not care for a house party at present," she said, "or else I should have gratified some friends who are anxious to see you." "Quiet, happy days were pass." He was delightful to see Max enjoy his comforts, to hear him admiring our surroundings of park aid woodland, or commending the good taste of Beatrix in the arrangements of her house. "Once I ventured to say to him, 'Wouldn't it be nice if you and I had a home like this, all to ourselves, every bit our own?' "Don't let us covet our neighbors' goods," he answered playfully. "We had been here six weeks and the time had flown. Every morning when I arose I made a half resolution to tell him the truth before that day wore out, and yet somehow a nice opportunity never seemed to offer itself. Dear Beatrix was very patient, and I knew that her sense of humor enabled her to enjoy a situation which many would have thought a hone. Still, she warned me that her yachting husband would soon be on the return wave and that her own home would claim her. As the leaves began to turn yellow on the trees I pondered my dilemma and acknowledged that I had only deepened my difficulties by my cunning plot. "It had come to this, that I feared nothing except lowering myself in my husband's estimation by confessing that I had deliberately deceived him. "Meanwhile I was recklessly aling a variety of pretty frocks, and even some of the old family jewelry. Max said: "Mary, you look charming in all these pretty decorations, yet sometimes I think regrettfully of my white colted malden." That was both hard and sweet to bear. He also said: "I begin to think you might have belonged to people who were once exceedingly well to do. And I fear——" "That I am one of these rich women whom you d like, who left their luxuries for the hospital." "I did not mean to say that," he said, but he began to appear troubled and restless at making so long a stay in the hospitable house of another. I felt that matters were coming to a crisis, and yet I do not know how I should have acted, for I was growing more and more nervous and demoralized, had not Beatrix suddenly at breakfast one morning cut the knot by saying: "Now, Mary. I shall be obliged to leave you to-morrow. I have enjoyed my visit extremely, but Will is coming home and I must be there to welcome him." "Max raised his eyes and looked from her to me, then quietly went on with his breakfast. He had seen me both smile and thought we were making a frivolous joke which seemed to him rather meaningless. But, Beatrix was desperate. "Have I not done the honors very nicely? she said, looking full at Max. 'I have played housekeeper to Mary in her own house that she might imagine she was somewhere else passing her second honeymoon.' "Max looked at her silently and gravely. "If this jest amuses you,' he said, 'I can make no objection to humor one who has been so kind to us.' "Ohl' sall Beatrix, 'this will never do, Mary; speak out. Colonel Max, your wife has no courage.' "At the word 'courage' my husband's eyes, which had been fixed on me sternly, softened. "She has courage,' he said. His thought had gone back to the hospital. "Oh. Max.' I said, and I began weeping like a criminated child. 'I am really that dreadful woman you disapprove of.' "Bentrix had gone and I was in my husband's arms. It took us a month to talk the matter out, but after that he became reconciled to the inevitable." "You lucky woman" said the inquisitive one, putting her handkerchief to her eyes as the clock struck three in the morning—The Sphere. A Cough Drop That Lasted. A lady in this city who suffered at times with coughing in church was in the habit of taking a small box of cough drops with her when she attended services. On last Sunday morning while sitting in her pew she noticed that the lady sitting next to her was suffering with a severe cough, so she opened her box and passed it over, which was gratefully accepted. The cough stopped immediately. On leasing the church the first lady said: "Won't you have another cough drop?" The second lady, who could notice no diminishment in the size of the first one, said: "No, I thank you. I believe this one will last." Upon removing it from her mouth she found it to be the vest button of her friend's husband, that had in some unknown manner found its way into the box—Danville News. Kata Lat $100,000. The villa at Treville, France, where the Austrian Countess d'Onigno was murdered by her gardener some months ago, has just been officially searched. In the drawer of a desk was found the fragments of $100,000 in notes, which had been so chewed by rats as to be worthless. The countess was a miser. Though she lived in the most giggarly fashion, $800,000 was discovered in the place in addition to the sum destroyed by redens. Do Old Men Die From Idleness? HERE is certainly far more evidence for the belief in the dreariness of old age after active work has been laid aside than from the shortening of life which results from the enforced inactivity. Two notable instances, and perhaps freer from doubt than most as to whether it is ennuful alone that kills and not the disease of old age of a more specific malady, are those of Napoleon the Great and Bismarck. The one lived six years in St. Helena, the other eight years at Friedrichruh, each "eating out his heart." If ever there were men who ought on the sun- T out his heart." If ever the position to have been killed by the total two ought to have been, but it would they were.

There are a elder when he has a young heart is perhaps can show us.—London Saturday Review. Concerning Spi position to have been killed by the total suspension of their activities these two ought to have been, but it would be extremely difficult to show that they were. Though Napoleon was no more than fifty-three, yet it was the specific disease of cancer of the stomach of which he died, and the connection between his exiled loneliness and the direct cause of his death does not seem very apparent. On the other hand, Blemarch, at the age of seventy-five, when he was dismissed from the Chancellorship, could not have had a likelihood of more prolonged years than he actually achieved out of office even if he had continued in office until the end. A wise man, if not too dyspeptic, will never lose touch with actual life. There are old men with young hearts, and the elder when he has a young heart is perhaps the most delightful type humanity can show us.—London Saturday Review. Concerning Spinsters. By Lilian Bell.

It lies in the cultivation of her imagination and her sense of humor. If you have these two you may laugh at fate, for you are clad in an armor which never rusts nor disintegrates. If you are inclined to be litter, to view yourself as the football or destiny, kicked from one discomfort to another; if you think people snub you; if you suspect your friends of growing cold toward you, or even of deliberate slights—if you are in the habit of sitting in the dark and brooding over these things, the fault of the whole matter lies within. It is your fault because you take a morbid point of view. Think how unwholesome and malarial your mind must be. Consider the stagnant state of your heart. Think of the microbes which are eating your soul away. Such a disagreeable person as you are determined to be deserves to be slighted and snubbed and left out of parties and plenics. Who wants such a walking funeral about? Don't lay it to the influence of the hall bedroom. That would not be fail. But you may lay it to the influence of the boarding-house, which generally consists of hall bedrooms. If there is any one thing worse than the boarding house habit, it can only be the wrapper and c纸-paper habit of certain slowly women. If a woman wears a wrapper mornings and keeps her hair in curl papers at breakfast, she deserves never to get a husband. And if a woman with a husband does it, she deserves to lose him. Harper's Bazar. America the Cradle of Asia. By Prof. Stewart Culin. UR idea that America is a new world, not only from the viewpoint of European discovery, but actually, so far as concerns its inhabitants and their civilization, is one that has been accepted almost without question. It is, indeed, a fundamental notion, having back of it all the impetus of religious sentiment and historic tradition. Almost from the period of discovery, learned writers have endeavored to confirm the theory of an Asiatic immigration, adducing the resemblance of the arts, religions, and symbolism, and the supposed ide- O of the arts, religions, and titles of the language and physical types habitants of Asia.

Preoccupied with the notion that America is the new world, they have seemingly lost sight of the fact that these resemblances offer quite as good proof of American intercourse with Asia as they do of an Asiatic invasion of our continent. In supporting the latter view the writer is aware that it premises the same, if not a higher, antiquity for man on the American continent as is revealed by the most remote historical perspective of Egypt or Babylon; that he is called upon to establish the American origin of the particular things to which he refers, their birth and subsequent development in America, and furthermore to demonstrate the probability of their transfer from America to other civilizations. The games of the Eastern continent—and I speak now not so much of the present day, but from what we know of the remote past—are not only similar to, but practically identical with, those of America, and are not only able in externals, but, if we may so apply the word, in their morphology as well. And, if may be added, they extend over into Asia from America as expressions of the same underlying culture. They belong to the same culture. Man evidently wandered far and wide over the world before history began. Shall we, with our American explanations in mind—and they hold good not alone for games, which are but the "stalking-horse" of the student—shall we not assent to the claim that ancient America may have contributed, to an extent usually unimagined, her share of what is "the world's civilization"? —Harper's Magazine. Whither Are We Bound? By Garrett P. Serviss. N importance which relatively few persons are aware of attaches to the expedition which has just gone to Chile from the Lick Observatory in California. Its object is to find out whether we are all bound. A Everybody has heard that the Solar System is flying swiftly toward the south. It is a plunging flight that carries us more than 43,000 miles straight through the ether every hour of the day and night. It is a motion that has nothing to do with the earth's annual revolution about the sun, except as it prevents earth's annual revolution that revolution from carrying the earth in space. In truth, we never get back to the sea with the globe at a point more than 300, northern star, named Vega, than it was a now in hand goes, the flight of the sun to of an arrow, but the path described by it while to circle round and round the flying And thus we sweep onward, moving through what perils nobody can guess—force as mysterious as that which drew Nights to be wrecked on the Mountain of It is this strange voyage of the sun a ocean of immensity that the California America to investigate. that revolution from carrying the earth back turn and turn to the same spot in space. In truth, we never get back to the same place. Every new year comes in with the globe at a point more than 300,000,000 miles nearer to a very bright northern star, named Vega, than it was a year earlier. As far as the evidence now in hand goes, the flight of the sun toward the north is as straight as that of an arrow, but the path described by the earth, since it is compelled all the while to circle round and round the flying sun, is a great spiral. And thus we sweep onward, moving continually into new regions, running through what perils nobody can guess—perhaps none at all—and impelled by a force as mysterious as that which drew the unfortunate ship in the Arabian Nights to be wrecked on the Mountain of Adamant. It is this strange voyage of the sun and its worlds through the unexplored ocean of immensity that the Californian astronomers have gone to South America to investigate. The only way in which we become aware of the great flight of the Solar System is by watching the counter motions of the stars. We are like people on the deck of a ship moving swiftly through a crowded harbor. The direction and velocity of our motion are indicated by the changes in the apparent positions of the other craft and the shores around us. Ships ahead of us, which we are overhauling, loom continually larger; those behind, which we are leaving dwindling in the distance. This does not quite apply in the case of the stars, because they are almost infinitely far away, and the change in their brightness resulting from our approach to those in the north, and our retreat from those in the south, is too slight to be noticed even from year to year. But, luckily, the waves of light do the work for us. The light of the stars, toward which we are going has its undulations practically shortened by our swift approach, and the light of those which we are leaving behind has its undulations practically lengthened, and the spectroscope not only detects these changes in the light-waver, but enables us by their means to measure the rate of our motion, and also to deduce its exact direction. The problem is complicated by the fact that the stars also are in motion, like the sun, going in various directions, and with various speed, but that is a detail with which astronomers can deal. Now, the precise object of the expedition to Chile is to examine the light of the southern stars from which we are flying away. They have been much less studied than have the northern stars, to which we are drawing nearer. It is as if the people on the bow of a ship, after watching for a long time the effects of their approach to objects ahead, should visit the stern in order to note the recursion of objects behind. Through a combination of such observations the speed and direction of the ship's motion could be deduced. But there are many other misbrightly interesting questions relating to the organization of the universe, and our place and rank in it, which will be brought nearest to solution by the success of the exploration of the southern universe. SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL Artificial camphor is now made in Germany for the trade, as chlorhydrate of terebinth. It has a peculiar value in lessening the dangers of nitro-glycerin and making gelatin dynamite more effective. The venom of snakes contains only intermediary bodies, which alone would not be virulently poisonous; but the normal blood serum of susceptible animals contains the substances which, by conjoint action with the intermediary bodies of the venom, cause the deadly poisoning. Mountain climbers who seldom eat sugar when at home are said to appreciate it highly when on their excursions. Guldes are very fond of it, as it is a great source of muscular force. Experiments have been recently made abroad to demonstrate the value of sugar to those who perform hard labor. Musqular work done when natural sugar (cane or beet sugar) was used was found to be superior to that when saccharine formed a part of the diet. It is seldom that anything but mulberry leaves are employed to feed silk worms in France. Very rarely the worms hatch before the leaves are out, and on such occasions they are fed young rose leaves for a few days. About 99,000 acres of land in France are planned in mulberries; 40,810 pounds of leaves are necessary to produce 22 pounds of cocoons. The production of fresh cocoons from one ounce of eggs in France varies from forty-five to 147 pounds. A new acetylene burner has the distinct novelty of being installed in a horizontal, instead of a vertical direction. By doing so and drilling the orifice in a flat plate, instead of at the apex of a conical tip, it has been discovered that acetylene can be burned without the usual injection of air. During some early experiments it was noted that when the jet takes a horizontal position the graphite is deposited in the form of a tube which does not affect the shape of the flame, and which drops off from time to time. S. R. Wright has patented an electrical device to connect telegraph instruments with a clock, whereby any telegraph key left open for two minutes will be automatically closed by the clock, at the same time striking a gong calling attention to the broken circuit. Leaving open the key is a frequent occurrence on railroads, and sometimes leads to serious wrecks. By the use of this new and clever device all operators on a line equipped with these instruments or clocks can be called by the gong, as it makes an alarm that can be heard much farther than a telegraph instrument. A molecule of alcohol is composed of two atoms of carboi, six of hydrogen and one of oxygen; so synthetical alcohol is obtained by uniting these atoms accordingly. For a long time it has been known that by direct combination of carbon and hydrogen in the electric arc, acetylene can be obtained. Sufficient hydrogen must be added to the acetylene to produce ethylene, a constituent of illuminating gas. In combining water with the ethylene alcohol is obtained. Thus, alcohol is produced in France without the employment of vegetable matter. The Costly Fourth of July. Those useful persons, the statisticians, whose work usually makes us wiser, if not always happier, have figured up that our last Fourth of July celebration cost this country the lives, of not less than 377 men, women and children, the wounding and malning of about 2000 more, and a property loss estimated at about $3,690,000. If this sacrifice of life, limb and property are really necessary in any sense, or if it contributed in the slightest degree to our National well-being, we might cheerfully submit to it as a patriotic duty; but when we realize, as all must, that this annual holocaust, with all the misery and suffering consequent upon it is only a concession made to the pure love of noise and hullabaloo which possesses small children and savages in common, it might well be asked whether it is not high time that a stop was put once for all to these harbariac and destructive proceedings; In view of the actual results of our Independence Day orgles, we might well apply to it, in paraphrase, the lying of Madame Kroland, "Q patroltis how many nuisances are committed in thy name?"—Leslie's Weekly. How to Eat an Orange. The following is the proper way to eat a Mexican orange—any old way will do for a poor orange. You parent, except a bit at the two poles; you eat it in two in the diameter, and then (first adding sugar if you like) you eat the two cups thus formed, or a good portion of them. It is the only way to get the full flavor and the delicious coolness of the fruit at its best. To eat an orange with a silver spoon is most unscientific; silver is a good conductor of heat, and the modicum of juice that is thus obtained has been tendered, hence seemingly warm, and also lacks taste on account of its small amount—Modern Mexico.

Soft Answer of a Motorman, Broadway was crowded as usual, and an electric car bumped a rickety wagon off the track with the custom- ary Jack of ceremony. Two thin, black-bearded men on the wagon seat did not recover their balance quickly enough to remonstrate with that par ticular motorman, put they made up for it by pouring a torrent of mingled Yiddish and English anathema on the director of the next car. . If the Yiddish exceeded the English In sense as St did In sound, the ob- Jurgation was 9 triumph. There was no-point in the motorman’s ancestry and history left untouched, and nc part of his person was slighted—yet he was a large man—as large as mo- tormen tay be. He gazed blankly at bis puny revil- ers for a mdment; and spectators of the incident were prepared for a tor- fent of retort. But the big fellow merely,shook a werning finger, “Ah, naugbtsnaughty,” he sald, and sped ‘on his way with a roar of Isughter.— New York Mall aad Express.

The discussien would indIcate that taere are orchardists who practice no cul- vation with marked success {n some laces; but those who give ne cultiva- ilon either cover the soll with straw or qanure or keep In the orchards flocks of sheep or swine that continually en- sich the soil.

Where orchards have been cui ‘vated with Intelligence, nearly all the woik belns done with a disc harrow, cultivation has ‘proved as desirable for apple trees as for ofher fruits.

Nervous Prostration The Ills of Women Act upon the Nerves like a Firebrand. The Ills of Women Act upon the Nerves like a Firebrand. The relation of woman's nerves and generative organs is very close; consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, "the blues," sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Herein we prove conclusively that Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will quickly relieve all this trouble. Details of a Severe Case Cured in Eau Claire, Wis. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM — I have been ailing from female trouble for the past five years. About a month ago I was taken with nervous prostration, accompanied at certain times before menstruation with fearful headaches. I read one of your books, and finding many testimonials of the beneficial effects of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, experienced by lady sufferers, I commenced its use and am happy to state that after using a few bottles I feel like a new woman, aches and pains all gone. I recommend your medicine to many of my friends, and I assure you that you my hearty thanks for your valuable preparation which has done so much good. I trust all suffering women will use your Vegetable Compound." —MRS. MINNIE TRETZ, 630 First Ave., Eau Claire, Wis. (May 28, 1901). Nothing will relieve this distressing condition so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it soothes, strengthens, heals and tones up the delicate female organism. It is a positive cure for all kinds of female complaints; that bearing down feeling, backache, displacement of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and is invaluable during the change of life, all of which may help to cause nervous prostration.

CAPUDINE (Liquid) HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS LIGHT AND VENTILATION. In general the slick room should be the lightest, most cheerful and best ventilated room in the house, as pure air in the slick room is of the utmost importance, but of course, anything like a "chill" should be avoided, and it is not well to allow a draught or current of air to pass directly over the bed of the patient. A good way to secure a supply of fresh air is to get a board five or six inches wide and as long as the width of the window; raise the lower sash, place the board under it, and the fresh air will find its way in between the sash by an upward current. Absolute cleanliness should be observed, and no vessels that have been used or dishes with bits of food upon them allowed to remain in the room. If, as is often the case, the room has a "stuffy," disagreeable color in the morning, put a spoonful of ground coffee into a saucer, and in the centre place a very small piece of camphor gum, and touch a match to it; as it burns keep pushing the coffee into it until the air is sweet and pure; it is wonderfully refreshing for both nurse and patient—Philadelphia Record. A NOVEL DUSTING CLOTH. Take one yard of heavy shaker flannel and cut off ten inches for a double ruffle. Sew the remaining cloth up the sides, as in making a pillow slip, in- sort the double ruffle in one end, make a hem in the other end, and through this pass a shirring string. Slip the bag over the brush end of the broom, and draw the shirring string tightly around the broom handle. For wiping the tops of picture frames and dusting down walls, you will find this unexcelled. It is also convenient for brushing cellings, though care should be taken not to press too hard, as the dust is apt to be rubbed in by so doing; use a light, quick touch.—Amercan Agriculturist. VEGETABLE TIME-TABLE. It is averred by many noted teachers of domestic economy the average house wife does not know how to cook vegetables, and that this is the reason Americans as a rule do not care for vegetables. Another good rule worth remembering is that, in the main, the vegetables that grow under the ground should not be cooked in salted water, while vegetables that grow above the ground should have salt put into the water when they are put on to cook, a temperful to each half-gallon of water. Underground vegetables; as a rule, are rlii in woody fibre, which is made tough by salt water.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Carrot Salad—Rather new is carrot salad. Cook the carrots in boiling water and after cutting them in strips sprinkle them with sugar and French dressing and place in lettuce cups. A garnish of sliced lemon is very effective. Garnishing — The appearance of a salad has a great influence upon the appetite. Nasturtium blossoms make a pretty decoration and also add a flavor to green salads. Slices of tomato covered with the sieved yolk of eggs and the sieved whites placed round the edge of the bowl are attractive adjuncts. Tomato Fritters — For tomato fritters stew a quart tin of the vegetable, or a quart of fresh ones, until they are reduced one-half. Set aside to get cold, then season with salt, pepper and celery salt. Add the beaten yolk of an egg and sufficient fine bread crumbs to make a mixture thick enough to hold together when dropped from a spoon into smoking hot lard. Broiled Chicken—Only young chickens can be used for broiling. Spilt them down the back, wipe them clean, sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub with soft butter; place them on the broiler over a slow fire, the inside down; cover with a pan and let cook for twenty-five minutes; turn, let the skin side down when nearly done; put them on a hot dish and spread them with matré d'hotel butter. Garnish with parsley or water cress and thin slices of lemon. His Blackstonian Circumlocution. "I received, this afternoon," said the bright-eyed, common-sense girl, she while a slight blush of maldenly coryness tilted her pink-hued checks, "a written proposal of marriage from Horace J. Pokelong, the rising young attorney, and—" "Huh! that petrified dub!" jealously ejaculated the young dry goods dealer, who had been hanging back because of his timidity and excessive adoration. "He says," proceeded the malden, gently ignoring the interruption, and reading aloud from the interesting document. "I have carefully and comprehensively analyzed my feelings towards you, and the result is substantially as follows: I respect, admire, adore and love you, and hereby give, grant and convey to you my heart and all my interest, right and title in and to the same, together with all my possessions and emoluments, either won, inherited or in any other manner acquired, gained, anticipated or expected, with full and complete power to use, expend, utilize, give away, bestow or otherwise make use of the same, anything hereof before stated, expressed, implied or understood, in or by my previous condition, standing, walk, attitude or action, to the contrary notwithstanding; and I "I-I-!" fairly shouted the listener, "I-I-!" fairly shouted the listener, springing to his feet, and extending his arms. "Miss Brisk—Maud—I love you! Will you marry me?" "Yes, I will!" promptly answered the lass, as she contentedly struggled up in his encircling embrace. "And I'll reply to the ponderous appeal of that pedantic procrastinator with one expressive slangism. 'Nit!' I am yours, Clarence."—June Smart Set. A very ancient stone plow, supposed to have belonged to the mourd builders, was unearthed recently near Princeton, Ill.

Hermann Klein's July chapters of The Century's "Modern Musical Celebrities" will tell, among other interesting reminiscences of Joan de Reszke's first appearance in Wagner opera. The production was "Die Mistersinger," given July 13, 1869, at Gwent Garden, London; and Jean de Reszke sang Walter von Stolzing. Though the opera was sung in Italian, it was a gratifying success. Jean de Reszke's first appearance as a German singer in Wagnerian opera took place in New York city during the winter of 1895. His Excuse.
