Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. SATURDAY JULY 4, 1903. It is understood that some person or persons have been writing anonymous letters concerning certain instructors of the county. This man or woman who is guilty of this offence is too cowardly and base to live in a community of decent people. If these anonymous writers know anything about the instructors, they should be manly enough to sign their n mes. The guilty persons who work in such an underhanded manner should be ridden on rail. RECENTLY Rev Thos. B. Lillard closed his first year's work as pastor of the First Congregational church This year's work was a very successful one. Immediately upon his arrival to the city, Rev. Lillard impressed the members of his church and the citizens with whom he came in contact very favorably. He worked indefatigably for the success of each department of the church and how well he succeeded is proven in the fact that the church owes not a penny of local indebtedness, has gained a number of substantial members, and the spirit of harmony is prevalent. Rev. Lillard's work among the young men is also appreciated. His absence from the city for the next few months is a matter of regret. Yet it is hoped that he will return with renewed enthusiasm for his life's work. COLLECTOR CRUM has been in the public's notice for nearly a year. His sensational fight for the collectorship will not be soon forgotten. In this fight he had the unstinted support of all of the colored citizens and all fair minded white person. The collector had occasion to make a speech in Chicago the other night in which he went out of the way in favoring lynching. He claims that the only way to stop lynching is to prevent the committing of the atrocious crime that leads up to lynching. He wants all guilty of the crime that causes lynching exterminated. The legal execution of those convicted of such crimes is what every good citizen requires. Collector Crum has made himself liable to severe criticism for upholding lynching for this or any other crime. He should understand that numbers of innocent men have been lynched and many of them on frivolous charges. The discontinuance of the committing of crimes will not stop the lynching habit; this will continue until the lawless element that indulges in it is educated as good citizens. MASONS MADE MERRY. Thirty Third Annual Communication and Dedication of the Home. The Thirty Third Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Masons was held on Wednesday of last week in Americus. The session lasted two days and was the beat ever held. The Lodges were well represented and the collection amounted to two thousand dollars. The Grand Lodge was called on at High Twelve on Wednesday by Most Worshipful Grand Master, H. R Butler, of Atlanta, with the usual impressive opening ceremony. During the entire session there was nothing but work and solid work at that. Needless speeches were cut off and only legislation along the right lines was done. The most important part of the session took place on Thursday afternoon at which time the Widows and Orphans Home was dedicated. This spacious three story brick building was erected at a cost of several thousand dollars. Every penny of its cost was paid before it was dedicated. On this occasion the large auditorium was graced by the presence of a large number of the citizens of Americas and especially the ladies. Under the direction of Past Grand Master, John H. Deveaux, the Grand Lodge was formed on the second floor and from there marched to the auditorium where the dedicatory exercises took place. This service was conducted by Past Grand Master Alex. Harris, and was done in such a manner as to elicit the commendation of all present. A choir of well trained voices rendered excellent music. One of the most touching features was the solo "Somebody's Child," by little Mattie Sue Hart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hart of Americus. An address was delivered by Mr. Chas. A. Clark of Brunswick. This was a gem and he received hearty applause from all who heard him. A short talk was made by Prof. Rogers and a paper was read by Royal Grand Matron, Mrs. Viola E. Hart, of the Order of the Eastern Star, at the 3 GRAND MASTER H. R BUTLER, M. D., who in one year and eleven months has cleared the Grand Lodge of debt for the first time in fifteen years. The Grand Lodge now owns over $20,000 worth of property and a cash balance of nearly $300 00. termination of which she was cordially thanked by the brethren. Mrs Hart reported that the Eastern Star Chapters have arranged to furnish the entire second floor of the home and for that purpose she reported $75.00 as already been raised. The dedicatory services ended in a jubilee; all of the brethren felt elated over the fact that a piece of work costing $20,000 had been finished, every penny of that amount paid and the building dedicated for a noble purpose. After two days of hard legislation the Grand Lodge was called off Thursday night. tion. Have all of our female relatives become members of the Order of the Eastern Star. The Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star meets in Americus, on Tuesday, August 4. Let every mason work to make the coming year the best in the history of the State. St. Philip's Dots. A good congregation was out at the 11 a.m. services to hear Dr. W. B. Rankin of Tennessee who is in the city conducting the Bible Institute. Rev. Rankin preached quite an interesting sermon. He painted The following officers were installed by P. G. M., J. H. Degenaux,: M. W., H. R. Butler, Grand Master, Atlanta; R. W., G. R. Hu to, Deputy Grand Master, Bainbridge; R. W., J. H. Covington, Grand Senior Warden, Jackson; R. W., A. L. Felton, Grand Junior Warden, Montezuma; R. W., G. L. Bowen, Grand Treasurer, Savannah; R. W., Sol. Johnson, Grand Secretary, Mahannah; M. W., J. Hartry, Grand Lecturer, Mahannah; W. J. A. Stern, Grand Lecturer, Rainbridge; W. A. S. Staley, Grand Senior Deacon, Americas; W. Wm. Williams, Grand Junior Deacon, McRea; W. L. C. Mound, Grand Senior Steward, Columbus; W. J. H. Babcock, Grand Junior Steward, Sandersville; W. S. M.incy, Grand Marshal, Alley; W. J. W. Brooks, Grand Persuant, Macon; W. Wm. Marshall, Grand Sword Bearer, Dawson. All of the officers were elected unanimously, which plainly indicates the harmonious feeling that prevailed the entire session. The following are the various committees: Finance and Returns—W. H. Spencer, H. H. Williams, C. B. Whaley, G. F. Thomas, A. W. Hill. Welfare and Grievance—T. S. Price, W. H. King, H. E. Bunn, W. B. Robinson, J. B. Lesesne. Jurisprudence—J. H. Deveaux, Alexander Harris, J. W. Lyons, Wm. Jones, C. McCarthy, A. L. Jones, C. A. Clark. Warrants—G. W. Allen, S. Fields, A. B. Reynolds, J. R. Thornton. Foreign Correspondence—W. C. Thomas, Sol. C. Johnson; S. S. Mincey. The report of Grand Master Butler was punctured with excellent thoughts and covered every phase of Grand Lodge affairs. It showed that he has been giving much labor and thought to the craft. He is a hardworking and diligent officer. His great aim is in placing the Jurisdiction in the fore rank of the best. In this direction he is succeeding admirably, and this can be attested by no greater fact than the great progress of the Jurisdiction under his able administration. Before the session opened, the last note on the home was paid. The trustees will meet in August to select a teacher and a matron for the school which will be opened in the fall. At the session there was nothing but business, plain business; no useless speech was indulged in. The personnel of the delegation showed some of the leading men of thought in the state as being present. It is plainly evident that the subordinate lodges have caught the progressive inspiration, the evidence of which will be seen at the next report. The Grand Lodge has in an unqualified manner endorsed the Eastern Star organization among the ladies. Other organizations of side degrees are not tolerated. Lodges and brethren fostering such side degrees are not working in a manner to the best interest of the Jurisdio- NOTES tion. Have all of our female relatives become members of the Order of the Eastern Star. The Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star meets in Americus, on Tuesday, August 4. Let every mason work to make the coming year the best in the history of the State. St. Philip's Dots. A good congregation was out at the 11 a. m. services to hear Dr. W. B. Rankin of Tennessee who is in the city conducting the Bible Institute. Rev. Rankin preached quite an interesting sermon. He painted the beautiful life of Timothy from his youth up, and compared it with the Christian of to day. At night Rev. Sims, the pastor preached an excellent sermon to a large congregation. Rev. Sims' discourse was a forceable one and beneficial to those who heard it. The monthly love-east was held on Friday night prior to the communion on Sunday. We were quite disappointed on Monday night in not seeing our members out at the Duffy street hall at the entertainment given by a party of ladies and gentlemen for the benefit of the church. When will our members patronize their own talent? You will need their assistance again. St. Philips will give a big excursion to Beaufort, S. C., on Monday July 27 inst.

Each night will have a special program, separate and distinct from the former night, namely, "The Old Folks Concert," A Passion-Play, "A Trip to the Moon." The pastor, Rev. J. A. Hadley, and officers of St. James A. M.

The labors of Mrs. Phillis Noble and Mrs. Patience Larkins as captains of the clubs have the highest commendation. Baptism and Holy Communion to-morrow at 11 and 3 o'clock. Swallowed Diamonds.

A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobic of Colusa, Calif, writes, "For 15 years I endured inafferable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me." Just as good for Liver and Kidney troubles and general debility. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by Knight's Pharmacy Company. Memorial Resolution. P. N. F., J. H. Hutchinson. Whereas, in the Providence of God death has again visited our brotherhood, and removed from among us our esteemed brother, P. N. F., John H. Hutchinson, died April 1903, and Whereas, it is right and proper that we, his brethren of F. L. and T., give expression of his worth, therefore, be it Resolved, that while we deeply lament the removal of our kind-hearted brother, and deplore his loss, we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who do all things well. We will cherish his memory ative to inquire his virtues, especially those of honesty, truthfulness, and readiness to assist suffering humanities. Resolved, that in his death Armour Lodge has lost one of its worthy members, one in whom confidence was never misplaced, this community a self-denying and worthy citizen; his wife a kind husband; that we tender to her our kind sympathies and command her to the protection of all good Odd-Fellows, especially to Him who creates and who destroys. That his memorial be spread upon the Lodge records and that a page be dedicated to his memory, and that the P. S. furnish a copy to the wife of our deceased brother and a copy to THE SAVANNAH TRIUMB.

I once success discerned; In bright, silvery letters; But all of it has turned To illness, pains and bitters, I found hard to succeed, In it I saw war I felt; For what regard my speed? And why destroy my speed. I had myself once bound, My war I saw to thee; But this I soon had found Was dangerous—vile deceit! O wretched, cruel Fate! What have I done to thee? What was it seen? Why lay thy hand on me? Of friends thou stripped me clean, My coffee now is bare; O grygona gaze happiness, I look with back stare. Off here in isolation Day after day I spend, Without the visitation Of just one old-time friend. That one seen; The ordinal hard to face; That one must henceforth lean In Charity's embrace. But I will be cheerful still Epoxe my view, view; And wait on His good-will, With optimistic view. For this can't always be Fall often though one may; It must be mine Forevermore must lay. No, no, I will arise! For make my way I must! 'Tis joy to win the prize, Disgrace to lay in dust. Georgia Infirmary, June 9, 1903. Vocal and Instrumental.

Broken pillar with crumbling stone Tull of her yesterday. Tull of the time when she stood alone Mighty in all her ways. Trackless stretches of heaping sand, Red in the wasting heat. Breathe of sinuous saraband Tripped by the joyous feet. Fallen temple and shattered tomb, Tumbled and gaping wall. Tell of clambering vine and bloom— Beauty that covered all. Silent, solemn, and chocless, Under the brooding sky— Where the proft to them that guess, Asking us when and why? DON'T know what you girls are going to give Mabel for a wedding present, but I know what I am not going to give her and that is silver-table DON'T know what you girls are going to give Mabel for a wedding present, but I know what I am not going to give her—and that is silver-table silver. I shall get her a lamp or a set of books or a rocking chair or—or anything, providing it isn't silver." Such an announcement against the conventional was naturally greeted with cries of "What in the world has happened to you?" and "For goodness's sake!" and like expressions of astonishment. "Well, I'm just judging from my own experience. Of course, she will be hopping mad at first if I don't send her silver, but after she's been married a year or two you will hear her tongue ringing with praises of my far-sightedness! Now, when I was married I was presented with enough table silver to start a respectable sized silver shop. Silver and cut glass having always been a hobby of mine, I perfectly reveled in the thought of how my table would shine and sparkle with pretty things, after I came home and settled down to housekeeping. Of course, I had several duplicates, but I wouldn't think of exchanging them for something I really needed." The girls exchanged meaning glances. "But I wouldn't, truly I wouldn't. I packed them all away in the little safe that brother George bought me for that very purpose, and which I had moved up into my bedroom." "I never saw it; where does it stand!" inquired one of the girls. "Why, my dear, you have sat down in front of it and written a letter on it any number of times, thinking it only a writing desk. In it I also keep my company pieces of value which I only use on state occasions. Then I have an odd-fashioned traveling bag in which I keep the small table silver, such as knives and forks, tea, after dinner table and dessert spoons, the carving set, individual salts, my creamer and sugar bowl, and all the little pieces which are daily in use. And it is all such a worry! "Like every other housekeeper, I am afraid to leave my silver downstairs in the dining room all night for fear burglar's night chance to pay us a visit. And after the day's work is done that silver has to be washed and counted, and that has become a terrible task." "And then when I leave the house for a visit overnight I am worn to a shadow trying to contrive a hiding place for it that hurlsurs won't suspect. I assure you I'm beginning to realize the truth of the old saying, 'Blessed be he that hath nothing.' For, unless it chances to be Mary Ann's night in, Bob and I are obliged to decline any invitation which will tear us away from that blessed silver. I had no idea when I got married that I should degenerate into a caetaker of silver, else I should have applied for a position in the Treasury at once, where I would at least be rewarded for my vigilance," and she drew a long sigh. "Why, I've positively thought of little else than thieves and silver since I've been married. Every night for a month after we came home from our wedding trip I had the nightmare, in which I could see thieves blowing up the safe, packing my wedding silver ip that tea cloth with the Mexican drawn work corners that mother gave me, and disappearing through the window, while I stood looking on at the performance, powerless to make a sound or do a thing." "How dreadful!" exclaimed the girl with the auburn hair. "And then, too, you never know and never can guess what all the silver pieces are for. Listen! After we had settled down Bob said to me one day: 'I'd like it, dear, if you could contrive to have a sort of family luncheon and invite a few of my relatives. I'd like to have, them see what a nice little housekeeper I married; besides it would sort of square us up, you know, for the fine wedding presents they all gave us.' I agreed to this heartily, and, thinking to show my appreciation of their generosity toward us when we were married, I put on my thinking cap and contrived a luncheon composed of only such dishes as would give me a chance to use the silver and glass which they had given us, thus delicately conveying to each one of them the idea that housekeeping in general, and luncheon in particular, would have been a failure but for their thoughtfulness. "Well, the day of the luncheon arrived, and with it the guests: all eager, I suppose, to see how Bob's wife could entertain. I had cut flowers for the occasion, and had ordered the ice cream to be molded in the form of hearts. I proposed to show them that ours was an ideal marriage—none of the marry you-for-your-money kind of partner ships, so common nowadays. "After we were all seated and fairly launched I pressed the bell for Mary Ann. As she passed the currant jelly I Aunt Amella in the cut-glass dish Once the trumpet in brazen glee Sang at the palace gates; Once the masters of minstrelsy Babbled of loves and hates; Once the sword in the jeweled sheath Glamored along the way— Deal to day, to play, to dumbble wreath Worn in that yesterday. So the glamour and so the pride— Marble and brass and gold— Dust of ages to come will hide Tombs of the years will hold. We, unknowing and overvain, Strong in our sweep and sway, Hat it will mark our reign— Living our yesterday. —W. D. Nesbit, in Chicago Tribune. that Aunt Sarah had given us for that purpose I thought I detested a peculiar look on her face. In fact, she looked up two or three times as though she were going to speak, and then she settled back in her chair again. I began to get nervous, for I didn't know but that in opening the jar Mary Ann had broken the glass, and accidentally sprinkled some of it in the jelly. But when it came around to me I could see nothing wrong with it. I've always understood that it was a trying ordeal for a young wife to be passed upon by her husband's relatives, but never did I imagine it was anything like what I was suffering that day. As each dish was passed with its respective fork or spoon—each a gift from some one of those present—reposing carelessly on it, I watched to see the smile of gratification which I couldn't but believe would show itself upon the face of the donor, but to my surprise and mortification, each helping seemed to evoke the same peculiar smile that I had observed on Aunt Amelia's face when she helped herself to the jelly. "I began to feel like a martyr at the stake, and I resolved, then and there, never to invite another relative of my husband's to break bread with me again. I noticed that they all seemed to have a dreadful time, somehow, managing their tea in the new cups which mother's sister sent us from New York. However, I thought that possibly this was the first time in their lives that they had ever been to a swell luncheon, and pity rather than fear filled my heart. From then on I pretended not to notice their awkwardness, and only prayed that the meal would soon come to an end. As the ice-cream made its appearance, with the spoons Aunt Mary had given us lying alongside, on the cut-glass ice-cream saucers that my own uncle had given us, I again straightened up and grew talkative. "I think those spoons, Aunt Mary," I called to where she sat, at the other end of the table, "are just as sweet as they can be! What old handles they have, too—so long!" I thought I would show her that the kind of ice-cream spoons that I had been accustomed to were entirely different. "Yes, my dear," she answered, sweetly, "that's so they can reach the bottom of the glass to stir up the lemonade." "I could feel the color rush to my checks. I was so disflustered that I just said, sillily, 'Why of course.' "That's what I told you I thought they were for," put in that husband of mine, but you said you knew better, and as it was only a trilling matter, anyway. I made up my mind that I shouldn't allow it to get us into our first quarrel." And he smiled at me from across the table. "Now that you've met Aunt Amella, why don't you find out what that spoon with the holes in the bowl is for. I've had my doubts all along about it being for felly." "Well, I was going to tell you, my dear, when the maid passed it to me with the jelly; then I was afraid you'd think me a meddlesome old woman, so I concluded to let it go," spoke up Aunt Amelia in such a friendly way, "but it really is a spoon for cracked ice. I never saw one before myself, and so I bought it because I wanted to give you something that wouldn't be apt to be duplicated.' The dear soul! She put it so sweetly that I just got up and went over to where she sat and gave her a kiss. "And now, with a glance at my husband, 'that we're all so well acquainted I don't suppose it would be out of place if I should ask some of the others to explain the uses of their gifts, would it?' At this they all laughed good naturedly. "Well, began Uncle Harry, 'those forks you used for oysters, the clerk told me were for strawberries, but I reckon it's all the same.' "That's what made the oysters so hard to manage. I guess. I noticed that they kept slipping up on the tines," thought I. "That spoon that Bob used for the fruit is really a tomato server," went on Cousin Emma, "for I was with mamma when she bought it." "And that bowl over there, with the Oriental spoon, is for mayonnaise dressing; at least I think that is what Caroline wrote me," she continued, while every one at the table stared at the bowl which I had thoughtfully filled with powdered sugar, and placed right alongside the strawberries, where it would be handy. "So long as you don't mind our telling you what the different things are for," said Aunt Mildred, pleasantly, why, I may as well tell you, my dear, that long-handled fork and spoon are not for salad, but are intended for clives and pickles when they are served in the bottle." “Well, honestly confessed Uncle Billy, ‘I’ve really forgotten what that queer-looking spoon I bought at Biffany’s is for myself; they have so many new fangled things nowadays that they didn't have when I was a boy, but it seems to me that it is a cream ladle or some such thing.’ “No! said I, triumphantly, ‘it isn’t! That is a cheese scoop!’ But I fear I rather spilled the impression I had hoped to convey—for, upon being questioned as to how I knew, I was obliged to admit that I had seen one in a silver catalogue that some jewelry firm had mailed me. “Well, we all had a good laugh, and our formal luncheon turned out to be a very informal one, after all, and I have always felt thoroughly, at home with Bob's relatives ever since, probably due to the fact that the ice having been broken, as it was at that first luncheon.” “Well, what was wrong with the tea cups?’ inquired the girl who never forgot anything. "Oh, yes! That was the worst of all!" concluded the one who had been telling her troubles to the others. "Do you know that the very next week after my eventful luncheon, Priscilla Clark gave a pre-nuptial luncheon and the very first course was clam boulton, served in cups just like mine."—I, E. M., in the New York Times. A Plucky Dame of 1776. The spirit of '76, as is well known, was manifest not only in the courage and heroism of the men of that stirring period but in the bravery of wojnens as well. "My great-grandmother," said Miss Anne, "lived near Trenton, N. J., not far from where one of the great battles was fought. She was married, but her husband had gone to war; and, with two other young married women, cousins, whose husbands had also joined the Revolutionary Army, she remained in the old homestead, awaiting anxiously such meager blits of war news as might come to them from the distant fields of action. "One day, at noon, when the three women wore seated at dnaer, each with a babe in her arms, a little troop of British soldiery rode up to the house. The women heard their noise approach but before they had time to move the soldiers, an officer and two men, in full uniform, and with singing spurs, were in the room. Doffing his hat, the young officer sharply accosted the wife seated nearest him: "Madame, where is your husband?" "He has gone to town," faltered the timid creature. "And your husband, madame?" he peremptorily demanded of the next young woman. "Then the officer addressed this same query to my great-grandmother: "Where is your husband,' madame?' "My great grandmother rose to her feet, and said holdy: "He is gone to fight the British" "Good! exclaimed the officer, and he slapped my great-grandmother on the shoulder, as if she were a man and a comrade-at-arms; 'you're the girl for me!" "Then, with his men, the officer withdrew, leaving the old-home and its defenseless occupants 'milotested.'" The True Gentleman. The late Frederick Temple, the octogonarian primate of the Church of England, who died last year, once gave the following outline of what he considered really gently conduct, says Collier's Weekly: "The man who is thoroughly unselfish in all small things, he is the man in regard of whom it is quite impossible for you not to feel. That man is a gentleman. Let his rank in society be what it may, let him be ignorant of the ordinary conventionalities of social intercourse, still, if the man be truly self-sacrificing, if in his ordinary relations with his fellows there is true and genuine humility, true and genuine unselfishness, it is impossible for any man who has much to do with him not to feel, 'that man is a gentleman.' I don't care whether he is learned or not, whether he is educated or not; I don't care how ignorant he may be, or how low he may stand; I don't care if he be ever so poor; the man who constantly shows that he is giving himself up for the sake of other people, that man is at heart and in reality one of nature's gentlemen, and this is the way in which he shows; it." Inkling of Truth. You can't tell a man a great truth; he must find it out himself. It often happens that we forget yet do not forgive. do not forgive. He who can feel guilty is partly innocent. No one can reach the sublime without first passing through the stage of seeming ridiculous. Sattire is a weapon that can be used only at close quarters. A man may become ignorant by reading too much. One who sets his standard of conduct too high is in danger of becoming a hypocrite. A man's reputation depends not so much on what he does as on what he says.—William, M. Blatt, in the Cornhill Booklet. How Forces Affect the Air. Professor Moulliefert, at the National Agricultural College of Grignon, France, explains why it is that a balloon always descends when it is passing over a forest, making it necessary for the voyagers to throw out ballast to give it greater buoyancy. Above every forest there is a stratum of cool, moist air, produced by the abundant transpiration of the trees, which extends from 3000 to 5000 feet above the tree tops. In speaking of the absorption of moisture from the soil by the tree roots, he says that the moisture is taken from the under soil, the trees keeping the upper soil moist to a depth of four or five inches.

How many of you children know what folk lore is? And why societies are organized to study and preserve it? Folk lore is the earliest literature of any nation, and it springs from a fountain of song, from the mututured heart of the people. The national airs are not folk songs; they are usually carefully selected lines from the pen of a gifted writer, set to measured music and approved by the nation as patriotic standards; but the folk songs are the traditions of a primitive people, handed down from generation to generation. Like most of the fairy tales, they owe their origin to the natural phenomena of the country and the wild imagination of half-civilized races. It has often been said that America has no traditions; but what unkempt Long before the discovery this country was inhabited; and inhabitants, who over they are, fashion their own lives and make their own traditions. History tells us that the American Indians before being disturbed by foreign invasions, were a poetic, childlike race. Cortez found the Mexicans in a high state of civilization; so they, without doubt, had a traditional past, upon which their splendor was based. With the coming of the Spanish and the French people, these traditions, instead of fading, became more highly colored, and the warm, Southern blood and vivid imagination quickened all the Indian legends into life. The French took root in the North, though a few went South with the Spanish, while the English and Dutch relied upon the simplicity of their negro slaves to make for them folk songs, which are among the most weird and beautiful of the kind. But, even here, France and Spain lent their aid in the Southern countries. Rich musical treasures have been handed down to us from generations of old plantation "mammies" who crooned marvelous lullabies of their own making. Traditions abound wherever there are streams and trees, and mountains, and sighting winds and storm clouds. But there is need of a master mind to bring them to light in such a way as to keep them always in their simplest form, the earliest literature of the untutored American people. Pittsburg Dispatch A DOUBLE-FACED-DANCE. To be very queer, indeed, this dance, which, by the way, the old-fashioned "Lancers," requires eighh. girla, dressed exactly allike. A Quaker costume with the full, quaint skirt, and white pumps would suit the purpose best, perhaps, though if brighter colors are preferred the same old-fashioned style might still be carried on. All the hair is combed up high, and on the back of the head is tied or plumed the painted face of, a rag doll, thus giving the owner two distinct faces. Over the tag face the ends of the hair are trained to look as natural as possible. Surrounding all this is a cap made of a strip of white muslin about a finger wide, with ruffles all round, and long enough to tie with ends under the real chin and in the same fashion under the "make-believe" one. This finishing touch will make a perfect double face. A little ingenuity must then be used to dress the back of each girl exactly like the front, so that when they all take their places for the dance the spectators are startled by the ludicrous effect produced by the painted faces thus turned toward them. When the dance begins the effect is still more startling, for every grate, ul, gritish movement produces strange contortions among the "false fronts" which will be sure to create mica merriment if the dance is kept up gravely to the end, without a bitch cr break—Pittsburgh Dispa'n. THE WAY TREES GROW OLD. Unless the date of planting is known a tree can keep the secret of its age as long as it lives. Only when it is cut down and the rings that then show on this cut surface are counted can its exact age be told. Especially when a tree is sawn down, leaving the stump with a smooth, flat surface, is it easy to count its years. Trees such as the oak, chestnut, pine, etc., add a thin layer just under the rough outer bark each year. These rings harden into tough Puzzle. woody fibre and one after another make the tree bigger and bigger around. When the tree is cut down these layers show just as the layers of an onion cut in half. As each layer counts for a year, the age of trees that have grown straight and tall is very easy to determine, while in garbled, wind twisted trees the rings run into each other, and can scarcely be distinguished, and thus some of the famous old sentinels on the mountain tops hide the secret of their age forever. As the trunks of trees grow larger layer by layer, the rough outside bark which lasts from year to year cracks wider and wider in its efforts to fit the big round body it was not made for, and great tissues and furrows appear, such as are seen in the oak'. Some trees, like the birch, change their bark from year to year. The birch bark that peels off is almost as thin as paper and split in a thousand places with the swelling of the live new wood just beneath it.—New York Tribune. IS IT COOKED? To tell a boiled egg from a raw egg snap a rubber band over each of them length wise and hook the band on a verticle iron wire. Take an egg in each hand, twist them round to the same degree and let them go. The boiled egg will turn several times back and forth, but the raw one will come to rest almost immediately. This is because in the case of the raw egg the motion has been imparted only to the shell and not to the liquid contents, the friction of which against the shell soon reduces it to rest. A still simpler method is to spin the eggs on a plate and touch the tops of them lightly for an instant to bring them to rest. The boiled egg will remain at rest, but the raw one will go on turning as soon as your finger is removed because you have stopped only the shell and not the liquid contents.—New York World. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS 7 COOKING GREEN PEAS. Much of the palatableness of peas depends, however, upon the cooking. All vegetables should be carefully cooked to get their best flavor, and this is especially true of peas. After shelling, they should be thrown into cold water for twenty minutes, and then drained and put into a kettle of boiling water. To each half gallon of water used add a level teaspoonful of salt. Boll slowly in uncovered vessel for twenty minutes, if the peas are young and fresh, or until tender. If they cook too rapidly they get hard and lose their shell, while if kept below the boiling point they become water-soaked and colorless. THE CARE OF CHINA. It is one thing to have valuable china and glass, and quite another matter to keep it. The choice old china which has descended from a past generation will never be duplicated, and the careful appreciate this fact. Housewives of other days had more time. They did not live in an electric age, but stayed at home and cared for their eggshell china themselves. Much can be done by proper care, however, even in this thoughtless age. Many persons have the spigots in their butier's pantry padded to escape the chipping of their china. With glass the extremes of heat and cold are to be avoided. A dish will break of itself if taken from a cold closet to a heated dining room. Cut glass should always be washed in tepid water with the best soap and a stiff brush. Shot should never be used to clean decanters or carafes, and it is sure to scratch the glass. Potato peelings, if put in the bottles, will clean them thoroughly if they are washed in tepid water the morning after the peelings have been put in. All this care and attention to details is a bother, but the new woman may lay the comforting fact to heart that she is working along the line of genius, which has been defined by the great Goethe "as an infinite capacity for taking palms." And that thought may be a sort of consolation prize—Philadelphia Telegraph. CLEANING WINDOW BLINDS. There is no necessity of washing cotton or linen window blinds, as there is a much simpler way of cleaning them. The blind should be spread flat on a table and then rubbed well all over with bread crumbs. This will make it look quite clean and fresh. Girls are fitting up their own special rooms after their favorite flower, and few ideas are prettier or dainter. Indeed, if some member of the family wanted to give a sweet girl graduate a gift that would be a novel and delightful surprise, she could choose few things better than to fit out her room in this dainty fashion. One girl fitted up her room on the water-lily idea, all in green and white, with a suspicion of yellow here and there—white wall paper, dark green matting, curtains of white muslin, white enameled furniture, and bedspread and dressing table cover of white—Brussels net over the palest nile green. The woodwork was a delicate green, and the ceiling and frieze a delicate yellow. Often the most impossible carpets, woodwork and furniture can be made to lend themselves to artistic effects, with a little money and the "know how," Apple blossoms, forget-meets, pink roses, yellow roses, cardinal flowers, cowslips, heliotrope—all these and a hundred other floral favorites may be symbolized with enchanting results. These "flower bedrooms" never fall to please the originator and her friends, because there are never-two alike, and invention is given a free rein—Philadelphia Telegraph. Pineapple Parfait—Whin one quart of cream to a stiff froth; add three-quarters of a cupful of powdered sugar and one pineapple grated; mix thoroughly and carefully; turn into a mould, cover closely, pack in ice and salt; let stand two or more hours. Orange Plombiere—Strain the juice of six oranges into a bowl, add one cupful of water, one and one-half cupfuls of granulated sugar; turn into a freezer and freeze to a mush, put in one plint of cream and freeze stiff. Remove the dasher, pack the mixture close, let stand in ice and salt one hour.

Black Chocolate Cake—Cream half a cupful of butter, add one cupful of sugar; beat two eggs and half a cup of milk, add this to the butter and sugar; add one and one-half cup of pastry flour and two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder; put four ounces of chocolate in a pan with half a cup of milk, and half a cup of sugar, stir over boiling water, add the yolk of one egg, add this to the cake mixture, heat well bake in greased jelly cake pans ten minutes in a quick oven or bake in one cake and ice with boiled lefto MATURE CHIEFTAIN. GRECE upon a time, away out in Mexico, in one of the old pueblos on the Río Grande, there was a young warrior born among tillers of the soil. His father NCE upon a time, away out in Mexico, in one of the old pueblos on the Rio Grande, there was a young warrior born among tillers of the soil. His father had been left at the pueblo by a wandering band, of Utes because he was too sick to travel. Upon his recovery, he liked the life, and determined to cast his lot with the Pueblo tribe. A council of the governor and his twelve sub-chiefs, was held, he was received into the tribe, and a small piece of land apportioned out to him. The Ute married a Pueblo malden, and their first son was named Agoya (Star)—the little warrior mentioned at the beginning of th's story. Agoya's first exploits had been with a couple of bear cubs that he used as playfellows, and frequent were the rough and tumble fights he had had with them. When I went out to live with his people, the young brave had passed his eight winter, and was a straight, manly little fellow. I noticed him at once among the band of small Pueblo boys, as he was quite different from them in build and looks. He had all the characteristics of the nomad or roving Indian, while his Pueblo playmates were like their own peace-loving tribe. He was reserved and dignified, with a quick temper, which he controlled in a way quite beyond his years, although sometimes it would flare up, as it did one day when he heard the click of my camera as I took a snap-shot at a group of boys among whom he was standing. He had a dread of the camera, and it made him very angry. We were too good friends to quarrel, but he felt he must punish some one, so, like a flash, he jumped on the nearest boy, whom he sent rolling on the ground in no time. But, with all his pride and temper, he was a generous boy. My interest in him was no greater than his in me, and we soon became very good friends. He would follow me on long tramps when I was out with my gun, and he took great delight in picking up the game, always stealing up and planting one of his tiny arrows in the bird or beast, and then rushing in and seizing it, in true warrior style. Our hunts were silent, as neither understood the other's language; but he comprehended every motion I made, and there was a bond of sympathy between us—the love of nature—that made our trips very pleasant. This small brave had a knowledge of nature that would put to shame mostivilized boys of twice his years. Many times he took the lead, and seldom failed to find what he was after. Sometimes we would take our ponies across the river, and ride up into the canyons, spending the day, wandering about the little parks, or climbing to the almost inaccessible prehistoric stone villages on top of the mesas, there to hunt for stone arrow-tips, axes and other remains of the old Pueblos. His eyes were very keen, and many were the additions he made to my collection. All the time the spirit of the hunter was uppermost in him; no animal was too small to attract his attention, and then the craft of his hunting ancestors would come forth. He would glide upon the game with the stealth of a 'cat, and more than once he came strutting back with a bird or little cottontail tied to his belt. The little Ute was a leading spirit among the more docile Pueblo boys, whom he ruled like a little chief, and many were the forays he led against stray dogs from another village. Even in the adult dances his small figure, dressed in regular dance costume, would be seen bobbing up and down in perfect time to the beat of a drum. During the hot, dry summer weather the people slept on their roofs, and with the first streak of light in the east the Pueblo was astir. Down in the plaza, the children would be playing at their various games, many of them with little brothers or sisters strapped to their backs. Among them, leading in some herole sport, I would always see my miniature chieftain. One evening, as the shadows lengthened and the wind subsided, I went around behind a sandstone butte that stood up from the plain like an old castle, and climbed on top, where I could, unobserved, watch the maneuvers of these miniature warriors. Upon reaching the summit I saw the band sneaking along through the sage-brush, crouching, and keeping a sharp look-out for an imaginary enemy. In the lead was Agoya. He made a motion with his hand, and the boys disappeared like a flock of young quail. Presently I saw the little Ute crawt cautiously through the sage, stop, gaze intently at some object lying in a bunch of grass, and crawl back to his comrades. Soon the little dark figures surrounded the enemy, bow drawn, miniature spears and tomahawks in readiness. Suddenly there were shrimp war-whoops and yells. A big dog, rushing out, made for his own village yelping at every jump. He had come to forage upon the enemy's camp, but Agoya and his band soon drove him off. It was a glorious victory for the warriors, and all without the loss of a nun. Such a victory had to be celebrated, and soon they were by the midst of a scalp-dance in exact imitatioz of their elders, with bunches of long grass to imitate scalps, tied to sticks and carried by several of their number, while the others danced about them. In a short time they were off again, and the last I saw of the valiant leader and his band, they were having a great buffalo hunt, as they had surrounded an old bleached buffalo skull, which was attacked with great vigor, and, I have no doubt, furnished a goodly supply of imaginary buffalo-meat for the little savage band.—St. Nicholas. AT GRIPS WITH A TARPON. William King, of Southern Texas, formerly a District Judge, knows the tarpon pretty well as a tremendous fighter at the end of a line, a voracious feeder upon smaller fishes and an uncertain adversary until it has been guffed deeply. He also knows as much about the tarpon as a catch-as-catchman wrestler and clever two-handed pugilist as any man alive. King, who is small and under weight, but pugnacious, gained his knowledge in Aransas Bay. He and a party of friends went after tarpon in a small yachtlike craft that was fast and crank. The boat was decked over except in the middle, where there was an opening four feet square above the cockpit, in which the party slept and did their eating and drinking. This cockpit has a room nearly as wide as the boat and some ten feet long. Its flooring was six feet below the opening. Fishing was good, which is to say that every man in the party inside of an hour hung a tarpon or two and let it get away, which is the usual course of events. Finally, a member of the party got a strike, reefed the barb into his foeman as deeply as a strong arm and wrist could send it, and the fun began. All the others recieved in to get their tackle out of the way and watch the fight. This tarpon was possessed of a devil. It took out 200 feet of silk in its initial rush, and the moment it felt the drag went a yard into the air. They saw that it was more than five feet long and the man who was playing it or being played with—said that it weighed a ton. The war, with ups and down, lasted for more than an hour. Thrice the fish was reeled within five feet of the boat and each time broke away. King, who is excitable, had most of the hour danced from stem to stern, shouting advice, expostulation, encouragement and anathema. When the tarpon was brought in for the fourth time it seemed utterly exhausted. It came heavily within a yard of the taffrail and its head was raised six inches from the water. The lord-high executioner of the band lifted his gaff to deal the fatal blow. With a mighty bound the fish rose from the water and crashed upon the deck. It was near the cockpit and not a foot from King. With a lightning sweep of the tail it struck him across the knees, knocked him backward into the cockpit and fell after him, landing across his legs. Then in the semi-darkness of the little cabin ensued a combat that would have used up fifty pages of Victor Hugo's best work. It was Titanic. The men above could see little, but they could hear the thud of blows, which fell like hall, the mighty thumps of falls, the rasping of heavy bodies on the planking, snorts, grunts, gasps and ejaculations. The Judge and the tarpon had fought the length of the cabin twice and all around the walls once, when a sailor jumped down with a hatchet and ended the match. There was a good deal of blood and scales everywhere, some of them in King's hair. The fish welghed nearly 120 pounds. SAVED DOG AT COST OF LIFE. SAVED DOG AT COST OF LIFE With grief according to its kind, a faithful dog mourned when its master, Waverly Moore, was buried recently at Richmond, Va. Moore sacrificed his life for the dog. Until the casket was removed the dog kept vigil and then ran to the spot where Moore was killed by a train. Moore was a machinist and lived with his wife and mother at No. 1225 West Marshall street. When he left his work in the Seaboard Air Line shops his little dog was there as usual to accompany him home. Moore was weared after his day's work and was walking along the main tracks over which the fast trains pass, when the Southern express approached from behind. Nelther Moore nor his dumb companion heard the express until it was upon them. A shrill whistle was the first warning, and it came too late. Moore glanced around and saw that the engine was almost upon him. He was apparently unmindful of himself in the presence of the sudden danger. The dog was trembling from terror a few paces in front of him. Moore made a mighty effort, and bending forward grasped the dog and threw it clear of the track. The next instant the express train struck him and hurled his lifeless body high in the air. But the dog was saved. Two tramps witnessed the tragedy, They say that Moore could probably have saved himself had he not overlooked his own danger and turned to the dog. From the time his master was killed the dog remained beside the body. He followed the undertaker's wagon, and was allowed to take his place beside the casket, where he watched until the time of the funeral, when he was taken away from the sad scene. An Explanation.

Any one who has observed the human scalp closely knows that in good condition it sends out two growths a year. If the hair is carefully pruned it will make three growths a year, but this cutting must be done with unfailing regularity. Once a month, and as nearly as possible on the same date, is the best rule. For this reason we are told to cut or clip our hair "in the new of the moon." The moon has nothing whatever to do with the growth or life of the hair,"but if that time is appointed one is more certain to attend to the duty, "Oh, there is a new moon," one says. "I must clip my hair." If the hair is thin and weak singeling is advisable. One way to singe the hair is to gather up the ends and pass them slowly over the top of a lamp chimney at first, and then slowly lower and lower until suddenly the ends crisp.-Pittsburgh Dispatch. THE JEWELS OF AN EMPRESS. Although the German Empress is in personal tastes rather quiet and unassuming, she must bow to fashion's decree in many matters, notably in wearing jewels upon public appearances. Fortunately she has the jewels. Five millions' worth, the German court gossip estimates their value, but the "millions" are marks; say that the total value is $1,250,000. Some of these gems are semi-national property and descend to, the next Empress; most, however, are personal. Of the latter class are the $400,000 worth of jewels which the late Dauger Empress Augusta bequeathed her, comprising thirty diamond, sapphire and ruby rings, many bracelets and brooches and other trinkets of dead and gone royalties. The most costly state gem of the Prussian Treasury is a-dazzling diamond about the size of a big cherry, set in the diadem of the Empress. It does not compare with the big state jewels of Russia and Great Britain. About it are set forty smaller stones of a very brilliant appearance—New York World. A NEW OCCUPATION. House hunting is one of the latest fields opened up to feminine enterprise, and there is one woman in New York who earns not only a comfortable income, but also the gratitude of many distracted housekeepers, by finding apartments for people who want them. Her charge for this inestimable service is five per cent. of the first month's rent and her carfare. The professional house-hunter knows that hundreds of apartments are vacant which are never advertised, the sign "To Let" being the only intimation of their availability which is given to the general public. She does not depend on advertisements, therefore, but haunts the locality specified by her client. She also puts herself into communication with the real estate people, who are often glad to pay her a second commission, and in this way she is able to accomplish, with comparatively little effort, what would be well nigh impossible to the inexperienced house hunter. She finds her clients by studying the advertisements for flats and houses, and she sometimes locates as many as three families in one day.—New York Tribune. PROWLING CLUBS THE FAD. Grace is acquired. Girls and women, and men, too, are beginning to realize the absolute necessity of physical exercise to counteract the wear and tear on the mental machinery and for the ultimate development of beauty and health. Here in America our girls are so averse to exercise outside a gymnasium, preferring a trolley ride to a good brisk walk or a drive to a run in the country. But it would be a good thing if some means could be devised of instilling into their minds the fact that exercise is not necessarily more valuable because of having a distinct monedey value attached to it. However, some girls are awakening to the fact, for several prospective "prowling clubs," as they call them, are preparing for action, and when anything like settled weather is with us again I expect these tramping parties will be more in evidence than ever before. So many physical culturists have been at work this winter that this most satisfactory demonstration of their teachings must take some tangible form—Pittsburgh Dispatch. HER ODD LIVING. Despite all the jeers flung at woman's choice of a necktie, one little woman is earning a goodly sum of money just by choosing neckties. Thrown suddenly upon her own resources, with no business specialties at her finger tips, she thought over the situation for two days. Then she visited a wholesale house which makes and imports men's neckties, and bought two dozen of just the most stylish, stunning ties they had. They were not loud, but they were elegant, smart. Thus equipped, she put on her best bib and tucker—looked the lady, mind you, nothing else—and started to sell her neckties in offices. They went like hot cakes. Men were delighted to get such neckwear without having to hunt for it. It was gentlemanly, exclusive, and she only asked a fair profit. She has now built up a nice business. She not only sells the neckties she car- Ries, but she takes orders for special kinds, and, if necessary, will make them. It is only another instance of a woman making a career for herself out of materials right at land which had been overlooked dozens of times by others—Philadelphia Telegraph. ENTERPRISING WOMEN. The women of Petaluma; Cal., have been the means of transforming that town from one of the most unattractive places in the State to one of the most beautiful, and their work has attracted widespread attention, many other cities wanting to know how it was done. Petaluma had reserved two pieces of property for parks, but had never succeeded in making any use of them. The city trustees planted few trees and passed a good many resolutions, and, pending further action, the parks became the dumping ground for tin cans and rubbish of all descriptions. At last the women took the matter up, and, having raised some money by entertainments and subscriptions, they hired men to cart away the rubbish, grub up the stumps and prepare the ground for blue grass and clover. The weeds ran the grass and clover out of existence, but the women sowed the seed a second time. Public interest was aroused, contributions poured in, and the parks became paradises of beauty, with greens, fountains, flowers and rare shrubs. The women then turned their attention to other parts of the town, and are now busy supplying information not only to other towns in California, but to cities all over the United States. THE WOMAN IN WHITE. Lots of girls this summer are going in for all white wardrobe. * * * Expensive? Not so very. * * * Just think a minute. Collars, girdles, parasols and a hundred and one accessories can be switched around from one costume to another and no one is the wiser. For morning, the Woman in White will wear first and foremost heavy white linen, embroidered or trimmed with the heavy laces. She will also wear crash, the mercerized cotton, plique, duck, and, in thinner goods, madras, Persian and India lawns. All these gowns she will make simply, imparting their chic by the lines, the air of being well tailored, and the smart stocks and girdles. For afternoon the Woman in White selects sheerer lawns, fine French batistes, dimities, organdle, swiss. The fine organdles and exquisite swisses are also suited for evening, and, in addition, there is a wealth of filmy fabrics, such as chiffon, mousse-line, net, silk tissues, and such alry stuffs. --- Then Miladl in White adds to her wardrobe immaculate a tailored gown of white etamine-quille the swell suit at present. She also probably includes a gown or so of white silk, possibly one of the clinging wool materials, such as crepe de chine, collienne, barege. --- In fact, so many and so lovely are the white fabrics that it is the easiest thing in the world to build the entire summer outfit of them. And what is dauntier or more refreshing on a hot summer day than an all white costume?—Philadelphia Telegraph. FADS FANCIES While the grape design appears frequently, the acorns are much newer, and often more effective. Fancy stitching is much used. Bands of cloth or silk covered with fancy stitching are trimming volle and muslin gowns. The flet fringes have, of course, been used for some time, and newer are fringes of loops, tassels, tiny balls and acorns. A novelty in the way of trimming is fringes and ruchlings of travelled stuffs, the tussore silks and linen being first choice as materials to be used in this way. Black satin walstbands and stocks are quite the rage, and a low wreath-like hat of black silk poppies seems to be an investment which every smart woman has made. A fashion odd but decorative is made up of three buckles on the front of a high belt placed from an inch to three inches apart, the arrangement depending on the size of buckles and of the walst. Cloth has its use as a trimming on thin stuffs. It is cut out as fine as fringe, somewhat suggestive of the ornamentation of Indian tunicies, and is used in graduated bands in gowns of crepe, volle and mousseline de sole. A model which might have been a grandmother's wedding gown is of white tuffets pleated with flowerel chiffon and blue and white foulard, both edged with fine gold threads. The full long sleeves are gathered into a cuff and there is a deep bertha of black French lace. The use of the colored silk slip is grawling. It is a fashion that has been out of favor for many years, but the foundations differing in color from the gown are the ones preferred now. Many of the fashionable changeable effects are gained in this way, putting a thin volle of one color over a silk foundation of another. Atlantic Coast Line RAILROAD COMPANY. PASSENGER DEPARTMENT.
