Dr, Brown, president of th «iter a session at the Hotel Sa- voy, in New York, lasting for nearly six hours, Tuesday, aside from short ‘recesses, the 200 managing agents of the Equitable Life Assurance Society ‘from all parts of the United States, adopted resolutions late in the after. noon, asking the New York state leg. islature to “exercise its plenary power by enacting an amendment to the so- clety’s charter,” this emendment to sive the policy holders admission to the directorate of the society. The resolutions also provide that a committee, consisting of one manager for every state in the unlon and one from Canada, together with all the managers in New York city, should be named to visit Governor Higgins and Superintendent of Insurance Hoen- dricks and secure their assistance in getting the legislature to act In the matter. This committee, representing the whole committee, will be desig- nated before the agents flanily ad- journ. 7 The sessions were replete with de- Yelopments. Several sets of resolu- tions were adopted. President Alex- ander made a brief speech. Vice Pres- ident Hyde followed him and in the course of his remarks referred to the sale by Second Vice President Tar- dell of the latter's interest In the re- newal account to the company, which brought forth a sharp retort from Mr. Tarbell, Then all three officers left the meeting and the agents devoted their time to discussion hebind closed €oors. When Hyde aroso to speak he was hissed. ~ " ‘The first set of rego:utions whica came out declared that the agents Vedged “unqualified support” to Pres!- dent Atexander and expressed their “entire confidence thet the president will continue unfalteringly and fintsy the work of mutualization that he has So courageously begun.” 7 There was no reference in any o the resolutions to Mr. Hyde Resolutions were adopted by the agents giving thelr “unqualified ap- Froval of the firm stand taken by Vice President Tarbell in his support of the president on the mutualization issue.” The ‘Varbell resolution was intro- duced by E. A. Woods of Pittsburg. The Frick committee of Investiga- tion was commended in another reso- lution, and this committee was urged to be prompt in a searching, impar- tial investigation of the company’s al- fairs, the hope being expressed that the result would be the means of “placing the society on a firm foun- dation and restoring public cond- gence.” The organization of metropolitan managers was dissolved by resolution and the agents declared that the sur- ‘plus in the soclety’s funds belongs to the policy holders.

A partial list of injured includes the names of twenty-slx boys, threé of whom are believed to be in a serlous condition. Long before the time appointed for the distribution of the tickets the stairs of the Masonic Temple at the southwest corner of Washington street and Capitol avenue, were crowded with a pushing, yelling crowd of newsboys, each anxious to be first to receive the pass. When the “distribu- iion began the excitement became more intense, and the efforts of sev- eral policemen who had been detailed to prevent trouble were unavailing. It is alleged by a witness that one of the boys, in the endeavor to hasten the exit of those who had received their passes, shouted “fire.” Imme- Giately those at the top faced about, and with almost superhuman strength began to force their way to the bot: tom of {he stairs. Shrieks and phy ical encounters followed for several seconds, when from gome cause those nearer the top fell headlong upon thy struggling mass at the bottom. Imme- diately policemen from the central sta- tion, who responded to a riot call, be- gan the work of rescue. Four of the boys were dead when extricated from thelr position at the tottom of the stairs. Others believed to have been fatally crushed were taken out as fast as they could be dis- entangled from thelr frenzied compan. fons, who fought and clung to each other in desperation. The dead were hurriedly placed in embulances and sent to the morgue for identification. Tho fatally injured were sent to the elty hospital and the city dispensary, while many ,who recelved: only slight injuries were made comfortable in carriages ana sent to their homes. ‘0 After the injured had been taken from the scene of death and the crowd had left the sidewalk, the sight pro sented by the stairway and walk in front of the door and in the upper hallway was grewcome In the ex- treme. Blood trickled down the steps, fragments of clothing and flesh were strewn here and there. < “The catastrophe evidently ‘had it. tle effect on about 400 of the’ “new- sies,” who, instead of returning home, to relieve the minds of anxious pay- ents, went to the theater on the fate ful passes. » ALLEGED LOVE AFFAIR REVIVED Roosevelt to Cincinnatl.

But the time in Newoastle was pleasantly occupied, The president shook hands with a majority of the 400 citizens of the village, after he had been introduced by George EH. Norris, mayor of Newcastle} who an- nounces on hjs card ‘that he does blacksmithing and wagon making. Tho party was photographed, the presl- dent: made a brief address, shook hands with the train grew and viewed the specially decorsted engine that drew his train from'Colorado Springs. The run to the village was pleas- ant, Huge bonfires lighted the way during the night, and the Taabitagis of the towns-en route stayed up untl far {nto the morning to cheer the president as he passed through. Get- ting up early the party had ‘their breakfast of fresh mountain trout on the, train, and with cuftains raised viewed the magnificent scenery along the route of the Colorado. When tho train pulled into New- castle, the president, dressed In his shooting clothes of heavy tan duck, greeted the people from the rear‘plat- form. He was cheered «wildly. Af ter the apecth was made and the little’ conventlonalities had been ob- served, the president gave personal supervision to his hunting outfit. He unsheathed his knife and felt Its keen edge, examined his gun, and saw to it that it was in fine working order, and looked over the horse that had been selected for his ride to the camp. ‘This animal {s white, welghing about 1,100 pounds, and is about 14 1-2 hands high. It is sald to be one of the most sure-footed mountain climbers in that part of the country, but 1s not noted for speed. In fact, all of the horses selected for the party are built for hard rather than fast work. Jobh Goff, Jake Borah and Brick P. Wells, ‘the guides, in picturesque mountain costumes, busied themselves in givmg commands fdr the start. Before starting, the president an- nounced confidentially that he was not going into any hand-to-hand er- counters with grizzlies, nor strangle any mountaln Hons with bare hands. He does not expect to bag a .cecord- breaking amount of game, aad will feel satisfied If he gets one bear dur- Ing the hunt, and particularly fortut- ate if be gets two. ‘His rapid-flring rifle was’ exhibited with great pride as a protection He will constantly keep between himself and danger. “At 11:15 o'clock the party started at an easy canter over the hills to the permanent camp,of the party, which 1s located at East Divide creek, ’on Charles Penny's ranch, twenty-three miles sonthwest of Newcastle. There 1s about foot of snow in that re- gion atid bear tracks were seen in plenty.’- When the party had gone out of sight the president's train was re- turned*to Glenwood Springs, where Secretary Loeb‘is to have his head- quarters. .

Southern Cotton Association Stantis % Ready to Assist In Thelr Erec- tlon and Equipment. According to President Harvie Jor- dan of the Southern Cotton’ Associa’ Yon, who has been discussing the question of better warehouses in the southern states for the purpose or better xeeping the cotton crop, a ma- jority of the cotton warehouses now standing can,for a small sum of mon ey be properly equipped so 28 to se cure a great reduction in the insur ance rates, Which are now “very excew sive. Regarding this subject, Mr. Jor- dan says: The Southern Cotton Association will encourage the building of these warehouses in the different counties by farmers, merchants and barkers, giving to the local communities local control and management. It would be very desirable to have stock corps- nies organized who would issue shares or the par valué of from ome to five dollars each, so as to give every cot- tou producer in the county an, oppor- tunity to become a stockholder in the organization, A farmer in this way, for one share of stock, can provide first class facilities for storing his cot- ton, whereas it would cost him from ten to twenty times as much to buila good storage quarters upon his own farm. ~Tnere would also a community of interest and the attention of the growers would be directed more partic- ularly to the business end of the handling and marketing of thelr sta ple. These warehouses should be un- der the management of,an expert cot- ton man who would understand the grading of cotton and act as the rey resentative of the growers in selling the staple to> the buyers. ‘The association has gone so far a3 to have plans prepared for the proper warehouses. These plans will be ready In a few days for distribution to any section of the country that desires them, In a further discussion upon the subject of warehouses Presiden Harvey Jordan of the Southern Cot- ton Association says: “The Southern Cotton Association ig now directing {ts efforts along the Une of having better caro taken of the staple after It is put into market- able condition, and encouraging the bullding of modern, up-to-date ware houses in every cotton growing coun- ty where from 2,000 to 50,000 bales are annually handled. “The association is having prepared plans and specifications with blue prints of a number of moders ware- houses which will meet the wants ang conditions of different localities. ‘and will be prepared in the near fu- ture to send these plans and specif cations to any county~which desiree to build a modern warehouse.” SUMMARY OF WAR NEYS.

All the prominent agitators are being arrested, or have already been sent back to the villages from which they originally came. The prisons are fillea to overflowing.

ALL of our young men should become an owner ofa castle, even. ifitisacabin. . : Tue “good time” young men and women are gateways to race degredation. ‘Ir is a provident man who will make more than he spends, and at the same time save a part ,of his eartlings \ Ir was Schiller, who-so truth- fully said that “Our own heart and’ not other men’s opinions, forms our true honer.”’ Ir_you saved fifty dollars last year out of your earnings, there is no reason why a'like amount or even more could not be saved this year. Ir is disgusting to note the large number of our young men who are able to work yet are main loafers around the bar rooms. . , Tue white man despises a Ne- gro who bows‘and scrapes. He Jooks upon him with a suspici- ‘ous eye. In every way be man- ly and respectfql. WE are not against the en- forcement of the vagrant lay. All lazy and ‘indolent persons should be made to work if they will not do so voluntarily. Dounine the past several weeks there have beena number of white men arrested for rob- bery. Their entire race is not being blamed for their action. TuERE should be a united ef- fort to get a gathering of-ont young men at least once a we! when -subjects of importance that will benefit can be discuss- ed, . Cunristrans the world over can rejoice in the one fact that there isa, ‘Risen Saviour.” To-mor row wherever the name is known thousands will give vent to their feeling in this respect. Tue man who has the least amount of race pride will be seen assisting worthy race en- terprises, not alone by their fi- ‘hancial help, but by their en- couraging words. We have two savings institu- tions “in this city. There is no reason why they should not control ninety per cent of the Colored people’s money. This could be done if there was more race pride and loyalty. Tue white South has loudly proclaimed that the colored man’s best friends are in this section. Let this be proven by the white man becoming more fair in his treatment and broad minded in his actions. Ir more white men, especially in the interior towns were to _be convicted and given deserving sejitences for crimes that they commit, lawlessness to 2 great extent in those places would be on the wain. Tie greed for degrees exhibit- ed by certain men of no learning whatever is a disgrace to the race. Degrees of “D. D.” ete., shquld not be given because a ‘man is able to pay for it, but ‘because he has distinguished himself as a scholar. Sensible ministers of the gospel refusa these degrees whenever offered. by money-seeking concerns. AGAIN the question of a pro- per name for the race is being agitated. There are those who prefer using the word “Negro,” others ‘‘Colored’” and there are those who cling to the hybenat ed “Afro-American.” Not one of these names is applicable to ourrace asawhole. To use the word “Negro,” it has no racial application; toa racg “Colored”? is meaninpiess, and there are but few of our people who can claim to be truly “A fro-Ameri- cans.” Of them‘all the word “Colored”? is preferable, but -“Négro with 4 tig >in every instance is not to be despised. No complaint can be made of the enterprise and ability of some of ouryoung men, They are making proper strides and in many ‘ways adding stamina to the race. " But on the other hand iit is Sisconrazing to note the action of many of the other class. They parade the streets like a butterfly withont an ounce of sense, and in many ways they are the ones who make enemies for the race. In Georgia there are many Colored men -who own some of the finest farms in the state. These are big farmers and smail farmers. Many of them aredoing well. Itis advisable for all of the farmers who are renters to become owners, and those who are owners should in every man- ner improve their property. Not only keeping the soil fertile but keeping houses in good re- pair und see that the fences do not decay. - Sourn Caroiina has an immi- granteagent in New York bid- ding for foreign citizens. This State will find to its sorrow that itis a very bad thing to have as laborers foreigners suc, as have infested Northern and Western parts. South Carolina now has as goéd a class of laborers as it can ever get. What the white citizens want to dois to hold on to that class, and do everything possible to better their condition morally, physically and other- wise bring them to feel that. the white South is friendly to them indeed. Do thisand the white man will find as has already been proven, that the Negro is the truest laborer that they will ever be able to get. ¥ There are 9,204,531 -Negroes in the United States, including Porto Rico and Hawaii. Nine- tenth of them live in the South —one third its population. Sev- enty seven per cent work on 749,000 farms, of which 21 per cent are absolutely, and 4. per cent partially owned by Negroes. There are ‘21,000 Negro carp- hunters, 20,000 bartenders, 16,- 000 ministers, 16,000 masons, 13, 000 dressmakers, 10,000 en- gincers and firemen, 5,000 shoe- makers, 4,090, musicians, 2,000 actors and showmen, 1,000. Since 1890 Negro illiteracy has sunk 67 to 44 5 per cent, Statistics are rather stupid fellows, but these look bright and full of hope. . How can you keep such’ peo- ple down?

WASHINGTON, Pror, A recently discovered essay by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published for the first time in Harper's Magazine, recalls that in one year after her marriage, the young Queen, Mary Stuart, beheld herself an orphan and a widow. The news of her mother's death weighs in at the very moment when her husband was expiring in her arms. She wrote the following poem, which Longfellow translates thus from In accents sad and low, And tones of sad lament, I breathe the bitterness of woe O'er this, sad chastisement, With many a mournful sigh The days of youth steal by; Was e'er such stern decree Of unrelenting fate? Did merciless adversity E'er blight so fair a state, As mine, whose heart and eye In bier and coffin lie. Who in the gentle spring And blossom of my years. Must bear misfortune's piercing sting, Sadness, and grief and tears; Thoughts, that alone inspire Regret and soft desire. An Awkward Mistake NEVER thought to die and leave her penniless. I never thought— And here a sharp, sudden spasm seemed to take away the voice of the dying man; he gasped for breath, and his wandering fingers seemed to grope blindly in the dark, while little Juliet burst into sobs as she clung wildly round his neck. Mr. and Mrs. Montague 'Aylesford looked blankly at one another. Mr. Aylesford much agitated. Mrs. Aylesford turned pale with amazement and decide at once what you will do." Juliet looked a little surprised. "I thought," she hesitated, "that I was to live with you." Mrs. Aylesford compressed her lips. "Of course, you cannot expect to eat the bread of idleness," she declared. "Mr. Aylesford and I are merely distant relations. That we have kindly interested ourselves in you so far is more than could have been expected. Don't stare so," she added, with some irritation in her voice and manner. "Is there anything so very extraordinary in what I have been saying?" "It can't be——" hesitated Mrs. Aylesford, in a low tone, with an inquiring elevation of her eyebrows. "It must be," nodded her husband, and Juliet Dallas, throwing herself wildly upon the corpse that a moment ago had been her living, loving father, cried out: "Dead! Dead! Oh, bring him back to life, some one! Don't let them take him away from me!" And then the poor child fainted. "My dear," said Mrs. Montague Aylesford to his wife, "I'm afraid this is a bad business." "My dear," said Mrs. Montague Aylesford to her husband, "we have been under a mistake all along." And they rang the bell for the hotel chambermaid to come and "look after" the forlorn young orphan. For Mrs. Aylesford, who had "dearest," and "darling" and "sweetest owed" poor Juliet for the last three days, under the impression that she was an embryo belress, and suddenly grown cold since Digby Dallas' dying speech had produced so different a conviction in her mind. "Do you think that we are under any special obligation to take charge of her?" Mrs. Aylesford asked on the day of the funeral, when poor Juliet sat, in her deep mourning weeds alone in the room in which her father had died. Mr. Aylesford looked dubious. He had just been examining the papers of the deceased. "I am convinced, my dear," he said, "that we have been kept systematically in the dark as* to my Cousin Digby's affairs. He allowed us—wickedly allowed us, as I may say—to suppose a man of wealth, and here he has actually had the—the presumption, my dear, to go and die and leave a great girl on our hands! A girl to be fed, and clothing, and educated, and—and all sorts of things, Mrs. Aylesford!" But in this account of the existing state of affairs Mr. Montague Aylesford entirely omitted to mention that he had hurried from a distant part of the country to his relative's dying bedside without any summons. There he had volunteered of his own accord to take the pretty young orphan in charge, and there he had fawned on Captain Dallas after the most obsequious manner, firmly believing in his wealth. And now, after all, to be disappointed—it was a bitter cup to quar "It's the most unheard-of thing that ever transpired within my knowledge," said Mrs. Aylesford. "But, of course, we can't be held responsible, and it's my duty to tell the girl sb at once and prevent any misunderstandings on the subject." She rang the bell and ordered a servant to tell Miss Dallas to attend her in the blue parlor. Jullet came—a fair, shrinking young creature, with soft, blue eyes, a rose fair complexion, and features cast after the pure Greclan type, stuight, clean cut and aristocratic. Her dress of deep black was plain, yet became her like the robes of a princess, and a jet cross suspended round her alabaster throat upon a black velvet ribbon was all the ornament she wore. "Jullet," said Mrs. Montague Aylesford, sourly. The orphan glanced timidly up. She could not comprehend why Mrs. Aylesford's tone had so radically changed toward her during the last twenty-four hours. "Yes, Mrs. Aylesford." "Mr. Aylesford and I have been talking your sad case over. It is nothing extraordinary—in fact, it occurs every day, and you may as well follow the example of others in a like predicu- I What once, was bibhe and gay Changed into grief Llee; The glad and glorious light of day Is darkness unto me. The world—the world, has naught That claims a passing thought. Deep in my heart and eye A form and image shine. Which shadow forth wan misery On this pale cheek of mine. Tinged with the violet's blue, Which is love's favorite hue. Where'er my footsteps stray, In mead or wooded vale. Whether beneath the dawn of day, On evening twilight pale, Still, in my ascend, To my departed friend. If towards his home above, I raise my mournful sight, I meet his gentle look of love In every cloud of white: But straight the watery cloud Changes to tomb and shroud. When midnight hovers near, And slumber seals mine eyes, His voice still whispers in mine ear, His form beside me lies. In labor, in repose, My heart his presence knows. ment and decide at once what you will do." Juliet looked a little surprised. "I thought," she hesitated, "that I was to live with you." Mrs. Aylesford compressed her lips. "Of course, you cannot expect to eat the bread of idleness," she declared. "Mr. Aylesford and I are merely distant relations. That we have kindly interested ourselves in you so far is more than could have been expected. Don't stare so," she added, with some irritation in her voice and manner. "Is there anything so very extraordinary in what I have been saying?" "I think there is," Juliet said, in a sort of choked voice, "I think——" She checked herself, but her eyes were brimming with tears, and her lip quivering. "I do wish you wouldn't make such a baby of yourself," said Mrs. Aylesford, sharply. "Look the matter straight in the face at once; you will have to do so, sooner or later. Mr. Aylesford finds by an examination of all the papers your deceased father has left"—Juliet shuddered involuntarily, as if some cruel hand had been laid on an exposed nerve"—that all the property you will inherit amounts to only a hundred or two of dollars, and you will at once be compelled to do something to earn an honest living. Mr. Aylesford and I certainly shall not support you. Captain, Dallas' must have been improvident and extravagant to the last degree not to—" But Juliet's pallid face and upraised hand checked Mrs. Aylesford's further speech. "Hush!" the orphan cried, passionately.. "You shall not cast the shadow of one reproachful word upon my dear, dead father's memory! He was too noble and too good for one like you to comprehend his nature! He—" But here she stopped, the breath fluttering on her lips like a wounded bird. "Upon my word!" Mrs. Aylesford ejaculated, bristling up and turning scarlet. "I might have expected this impertinence, but I will not endure it from a penniless beggar like you! Go to your room at once, Juliet Dallas, and remain there until I and Mr. Aylesford have had time to talk over this very extraordinary and unlooked-for state of things." And Juliet obeyed, weeping in solitude the bitterest tears that she, a tender father's spoiled darling, had ever known. Not until the next day did Mr. and Mrs. Montagua Aylesford deign to announce their final decision in the matter. "There is a lady here," said the former, sonorously clearing his throat, "who wants a well bred and ladylike young person, not altogether without education, to take charge of her four little girls. The wages—ahem! I mean the salary—will be, of course, small at first, but the position is unexceptionably genteel, and I think, my dear," with a sidelong glance at his wife, "that our young relative could scarcely do better than to accept it." But Juliet shook her head with quiet dignity. "I do not think," she said, "that papa would have been willing for me to assume a menial place." Mrs. Aylesford rolled up her small, blue eyes in holy horror and elevated her hands to correspond. "A menial place! Your papa! Well, I should like to know what some people expect! But you won't live upon Mr. Aylesford and myself—that I can promise you!" "I would die sooner than eat a morsel of your bread!" Juliet answered, defiantly. "It's a great deal easier to talk about dying than it is—to die!" said Mr. Aylesford, acidly. "And what, may I ask, do you propose to do?" "I don't know," Juliet said, growing pale as the utter loneliness of her position flashed itself upon her. "Papa telegraphed last week to my Uncle Richard—" "Exactly so!" interrupted Mr. Aylesford, with a countenance of intense relief. "Your Uncle Richard, to be sure—the very person to take charge of you. Only I supposed he was off somewhere on the other side of the globe." Juliet supposed so, too, especially as no answer had as yet arrived to the summons of the dying man, but she said nothing, only stood with drooping head, clapped hands and lily-pale face. At this very moment the door swung swiftly open, and a short, stout mah, with a shining bald head and a bronzed face, strode into the room. "Hat my niece!" he said, abruptly. "And my Cousin - Aylesford and her husband! So poor Digby has gone, eh? But I couldn't get here an hour sooner. I've traveled day and night-day and night!" As he spoke the words he took Juliet unceemoniously in his arms and kissed her. "I know by experience, my dear," he said, in a tone gentler than his brown face and brusque manner would lead one to anticipate, "what it is to be left an orphan, but in your case you have the advantage of wealth to smooth the road of life. I was poor." "Eh?" cried Mr. Aylesford. "Mr. Richard Dallas, is quite mistaken," said Mrs. Aylesford, tossing her head and smoothing down an invisible crease in her black silk dress. "Cousin Digby died without leaving——" "He died leaving a fortune of a hundred thousand dollars to this girl," interrupted Mr. Dallas, "of which I happen to be trustee." Mr. and Mrs. Montague Aylesford exchanged astounded glances. Could it be that they had so woefully misinterpreted the last unfinished sentence of the dying man? Was Juliet an heiress, after all? And had they, the wealth worshipers, defended their own ends? But it was in vain to retrace their footsteps now. Mr. Dallas, evidently put in possession of the facts of the case by his niece, treated the worthy couple with ill-concealed contempt when next they met, and took Juliet away with him within a week to complete her education in Europe. And the Montague Aylesfords had the satisfaction of knowing that they had made an exasperating mistake.—New York Weekly. Straw Hat Mountaineering He (Mr. Svåge Landor) ascended the Lumpa Peak, in Nepal, which he puts at 23,490 feet, and claims in consequence the world's record (hideous phrase); but even if his figures are correct, this would not be true, since Kabru, which, Mr. Graham climbed, is several hundred feet higher. Mr. Landor says he made the ascent in thin London shoes, a serge suit, a straw hat, and carrying a Malacca cane! He seems to have suffered no discomfort from the altitude, and he pours the vials of his scorn upon Alpine clubs and all climbing appliances like ropes and ice axes. When we remember Sir Martin Conway's sufferings at a lower height in the Karakoram with a band of trained climbers, and the various records of the ascent of Aconeagun, we can only bow our heads in the presence of this portent among mountainneers.—London Spectator. Perfidy For a Dear Friend. Could anything be more trying to a woman's patience than to see her neighbor's coachman decked out in a fur cap exactly like the one the first woman had just imported? That was the case with a woman here. She ordered a cap of Russian sable, peculiar as to cut and remarkable in quality—beautiful enough, in fact, to dazzle eyes. But her "denrest friend," whom she had had the misfortune to beat it "bridge," saw the garment when it made its first appearance in society. She had one made exactly like it and instilled her coachman don it and drive slowly up and down the avenue. Now the disconsolate owner of the original cape has sent it to her furrier, telling him to sell it any price, as she doesn't want to set eyes on it again.—New York Press. How to Seal Letters. It is often very desirable to know how to seal a letter so that it cannot be opened without betraying the fact. Steam or hot water will open envelopes closed with mucilage and even a wafer. A hot iron or a spirit lamp dissolves sealing-wax, an impression in plaster having been taken of the seal. By the combined use of wafer and sealing-wax, however, all attempts to open the letter otherwise than by force can be frustrated. All that is necessary is to close the letter first with a small moist wafer and to pierce the latter with a coarse needle (the same applies to mucilage), whereupon sealing-wax may be used in the usual manner. This seal can neither be opened by dry heat nor by moisture.—Chicago News. Football Test.of Character. President Hoosevelt once attended a football match between Yale and Harvard University teams and sat by one of the Yale professors. He noticed one of the players who again and again failed to support his side at a critical juncture. Turning to the professor, he said: "What is your opinion of that man?" The professor replied: "I advised the captain not to play that man. He is slack at his studies. Being slack at work, he will be slack at play." "Yes," replied the President, "it is character that counts both in work-and play."—C. B. Fry, in London News. Whose, Good Opinion is Worth Most. I do not think much of what others may say of me; but there is one man's opinion about me which I very much value—that is the opinion of James A; Garfield; others I need not think about. I can get away from them, but I have to be with him all the time. He is with me when I rise up and when I lie down; when I go out and when I come in. It makes a great difference whether he thinks well of me or not—James A, Garfield, CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT. HOW IT LOOKED TO BILLY.

He told Pope Julian II, when the latter requested him to paint the ceiling of the Sistine chapel at Rome, that he was not a painter, but a sculptor; yet, after he had shut himself up for four years—from 1508 to 1512 and the scaffold was removed, a result had been achieved which is without parallel in the world. Very wonderful is the work which Michael Angelo spread over this vast area of 10,000 square feet. The fact that there are 343 principal figures, many of colossal size, besides a great number of others introduced for decorative effect, and that the creator of this vast scheme was only thirty-three when he began his work—all this is marvelous, prodigious, and yet not so marvelous as the variety of expression in the figures of which Jeremiah is only one figure in a small side arch—Charles H. Caffin, in St. Nicholas. BALLS THAT BOYS TOSS. The number of baseballs made every day at the present time in the United States is about ten thousand. There are four large manufactories—one in New York, one in Philadelphia, one in Bridgeport, Conn, and one in Attica, Mass. The process by which the best quality league ball is made is interesting. All the work is done by hand, machines having been tried repeatedly without permanent success. The centre of the best league ball is of solid rubber. Around this is wound about three ounces of Shaker yarn of the best quality, dampened. Then a covering of horse hair is put on. This completes what is termed the first finish. Then the ball is wound tightly with an ounce of the yarn, which is again wound with camel's hair to make it of a uniform smoothness. Over this is put the final covering 'of carefully selected horse hide. The rubber ball, which forms the centre of all baseballs, is imported from Germany.—Golden Days. THE. TEN DWARFS. "Well Jane, how is it your house looks so clean to-day?" inquired Will Campbell, who was a friend of Jane's and lived across the street. "Oh, it is quite easy, Will, so long as I have my ten little dwarfs to help me." "And what do you mean by your ten little dwarfs, Jane?" "Well, I guess I will have to tell you. When I was born I had ten dwarfs given me. These dwarfs always obey me. They help me in my sewing, help me in folding the linens, and they help some other people, too. "They are not all the same size; some of them wear rings. I am sure you would not like to lose any of them. All of the ten-go to work together, and do all I want in the way of help." "Oh, I have found you out," said Will. "I know now who your dwarfs are. They are your ten fingers, and they are very good servants."—Brooklyn Engle. FLOATING SUGAR; Sugar, as you know from every day experience, is heavier than water. A lump of sugar dropped into a glass of water or a cup of tea sinks to the bottom and remains there until it is dissolved. Now if you dip a lump of sugar in the liquid called collodion, take it out quickly and leave it exposed to the air for a day or two to become thoroughly T THE FLOATING LUMP. dry, you will find that, although it looks just the same as it did before, it will behave very differently if thrown into water. At first it sinks like ordinary sugar, but apparently it does not dissolve, and in a minute of two it rises and floats on the surface unchanged, no matter how long you wait for it to dissolve. But if you try to pick up the floating lump you find it to be not a hard lump of sugar, but a soft, spongy mass of something else, which collapses between your fingers. The sugar has all dissolved, though it did not appear to do so, and the floating dump is composed of the solid part of the collodion which has been left between the particles of sugar and has kept the form of the lump. This substance is gun cotton. It is very inflammable and even explosive, so do not leave it "lying around." Colloid is gun cotton dissolved in alcohol and ether, which evaporate and leave the gun cotton behind.—New York Evening Mall. THE SURPRISE WORK-BASKET. It looked just like an ordinary work-basket when Aunt Fannie gave it to Mattie Pine. Mattie was not very well pleased with the present. She didn't like to sew. The smile on her face was not very bright when she thanked Aunt Fanny for the pretty red basket. Many a little girl would have been delighted with such a basket. There were needle cases, pincushions, shining scissors and rolls of cloth in it. In one corner Mattie found a silver thimble that just fitted her chubby finger. "Have you used your new thimble?" asked mamma several weeks after Aunt Fanny had gone home. "I am writing to Auntie and should be glad to say you use her present." "Oh, mamma, I just despise to sew. Please don't say anything about the basket; it's so nice to be out playing now. When it's cold and stormy I'll begin." But when winter came there was fine-skating on the pond, taffy pullings and all sorts of amusements that served as excuses for not using the basket. Spring came and still the basket was unused. One day Mrs. Crawford came to spend the afternoon, and brought her little niece to play with Mattle. After the girls had played together for a while they sat on the shady porch where the two ladies were sewing. Presently Nelle united a package she had brought and took out a dainty piece of needle work that she was making for her mamma. "That's very pretty, my dear," said Mrs. Pine. "Have you worked on it long?" "Only since I have been here," said Nelle, smoothing out the pretty square of lace and lawn. "Nellie can hemstitch very nicely," said Mrs. Crawford. "She made me a beautiful towel last Christmas." "Is it very hard to hematitch?" asked Mattie. She was thinking how nice it must be to be able to make presents like that. "Not a bit," said Nellie. "If you have of towelling I could show you right now. It is easier to begin on something coarse." "There is a piece of towelling rolled up in the basket Aunt Fanny gave me," said Mattie, running up stairs to bring down the neglected gift. The bright needle that held the roll together had become very rusty, and Mrs. Pine had to pull it out with a pair of pincers. Mattie was very much ashamed, but that could not be helped now. There were rusty spots on the white-linen. The spots looked bad when the piece was unrolled. But the oldest thing was that out of the roll of towelling came the prettiest little gold ring you ever saw. It had main hidden in the roll for more than a year. "Qh, oh!" cried Mattie, rummaging in the red basket, which had suddenly become of great value in her eyes. "I wonder if there is something in these other rolls." "No, Mattie," said Mrs. Pine as her little daughter began to unroll one. "Not until you have finished one piece of work' can you open another. You see Auntie wanted to know if you were using her present." It took a long time to discover all the surprises in the basket, for Mattie was slow in learning to do good needle work. At last she finished the towel and was ready to begin on the cushion cover that' was rolled up in the basket. She opened it and out tumbled three bright dimes. There seemed to be no end to the surprises. Mattle is sure: that when the basket needs a new lining she will find a new treasure under the red silk Aunt Fanny sewed in. But Aunt Fanny only smiles when Mattle asks her about it.—Adapted from Our Little Hen Surgery. One of the agricultural freaks to be seen in Lancaster County is a hen with a wooden leg.

When Wall Street first, caught the fever for "industrial combinations" and began the reorganization of every- thing in sight, one of the votaries of high finance found himself in Chicago in extreme need of communicating with his New York office. He had almost completed an arrangement for the consolidation of several Western enterprises, but in order to get the final authority he needed from New York, he must explain all he had done by wire to his partners. There was no time to write. He had no cipher code. For a long time he tried to think out some way to send the information so that it would be plain to his partners and meaningless' to any one else. His secret was a valuable one, and once sent over the wire might he sold out to his rivals in Wall Street for a large sum. At last he decided to take the chances in plain English. Accordingly he wrote the message and gave it to his assistant to send. Half an hour later, when the assistant came back, he asked him if he had sent it. "Not just that way," said the clerk. "I rewrote it, the first word on a Postal blank, the second on a Western Union, and so on. I sent half by each company, and neither half meant anything. Then I sent a second message by one line, saying 'Read both messages together, alternating words'." The scheme was too simple for the high financier to have evolved, but it worked perfectly--Brooklyn Eagle. His Tins Total 839 x Week A woman who appealed to the Charity Organization. Society for help one day last week said that her son was able to assist her if he would. "What does he do?" she was asked. "He is the brusher, and has charge of the bootblack chair in a hotel," was the reply. "He makes between $30 and $40 a week." The agent sent out to investigate and found the woman's statement true. Her son is employed in one of the big hotels close to Madison Square, and has been for six years. He declined to assist his mother because she had turned him away from home. He was married, he explained, and it cost him $10 a month to run his flat. This young man 'old the agent he was no exception; that the position of brusher in a large hotel was worth at least $30 a week if a young man attended to his business. Hotel patrons are liberal tippers. The brusher is expected to find seats for customers if the barbers' chairs are filled, and to hand around the morning and illustrated papers. The boss barber pays them no salary. Permission to work in the shop is considered sufficient compensation. The hours are long, and in most cases brushers are allowed a boy as an assistant—New York Press. Cunld and the Recruiter. "Cupid is one of the best recruiting officers that Uncle Sam has," confided one of the sergeants attached to the recruiting headquarters. "Back of nearly every enlistment there is a woman in the case. Lovers' quarrels chase a lot of fine lads into the service. Your romantic youth gravitates to the recruiting office after a serious break with his sweetheart as naturally as a duck takes to water. It seems to him the most fitting way in which to sacrifice himself when love's young dream is apparently dispelled. Way down in his heart he nursed the idea of making his erstwhile inamorata sad, and It's the Army or Navy, with the possibility of death in battle, for him. Again, other first-class material is recruited by the desire of young fellows to sport a uniform before their girls. In such cases Cupid does his recruiting through vanity. But in both ways he manages to fill up big gaps in the ranks of Uncle Sam's fighters."—Philadelphia Record. His First Attempt. They were in a carriage going to a ball. He was just of age and was wearing his new dress suit. It was his first attempt at "doing things up in style." Never before had he worn a dress suit or taken a girl to a social function in a carriage. He had dressed in nervous haste, and yet he had tried his best to see that his raiment was absolutely faultless. As they were driven rapidly toward the hall they talked of the fine time they expect to have. Suddenly the girl stopped talking and gazed intently at the bottom of the hack. The youth noticed that she was apparently interested in something down there, and he asked: "Mary, what's the matter with you? What makes you so quiet?" "John," she replied, "perhaps I shouldn't ask you such a question, but isn't there something wrong with your feet?" The young man looked down. He was still in his old carpet slippers; sockless—Kansas City Times. Settled the Dispute. "James," cried Mrs. Timmid, "there are burglards down statals."

"We're up stairs." And as he started down he was heard to say to his pal: "I always believe in helping a husband out whenever I kin. I'm a married man myself."—Pittsburg Post. GIGANTIC . . CAVERNS. EXTENDING far beneath the rocky hills of an island off the coast of California is a cave into which the battleship Oregon could enter for hundreds of feet and still have ample room above her masts and beneath her keel. How far a small boat could go no man knows. This big cavern is in Santa Cruz Island, twenty-five miles out in the Pacific Ocean from Santa Barbara, says a writer in the Chicago Journal. Few persons visit the island. It is used to pasture sheep and its owners object to trespassers. derfully beautiful. The walls are like vast mosaics of gray, brown, green, yellow, red and other colors, varnished with moisture. The effect is such that one feels almost as if he were in some great cathedral with frescoed walls and stained-glass windows. Looking down into the clear, green-tinted water another wonderland presents itself. When all is still a multitude of forms of sea life is seen in the depths below. Here, again, the brilliant golden perch and many other varieties of fishes of various sizes and hues are disporting themselves, sometimes darling Once a year some Mexicans and Indians are sent over from the mainland to shear the flocks and care for the wool, and nearly every year a little party of men goes over from Santa Barbara to capture some of the seals which abound there, for shipment to zoos. A few fishermen, mostly Japanese, make occasional trips to fish or gather abalone shells. Beyond these visitors are very rare. That explains why the island and its wonders are not better known. About the island are remarkable submarine gardens. The water is so clear that when it is quiet and the sun is bright, as it usually is, the bottom can be seen at a depth of fifty feet or more. The pictures that one sees looking down from the boat are magnificent beyond description. Where the water is deep one looks down upon what seems like a forest of rare and curious trees of varying colors swaying to and fro, among which are gliding beautiful and strange fishes of great variety. Brilliant gold perch, emerald fishes, bass, albicore, yellow tail and many other varieties varying in size from the tiny minnow to fish three or four feet in length, dart about or lie lazily flapping their fins, among the branches. The sun shining down into this transparent water casts shadows from all these moving things, producing a kaledroscopic effect that is often almost bewildering. Beneath the water along the rocky shores other equally splendid but different pictures may be seen. Here marine plants of most brilliant and variegated colors, scarlet, purple, blue, green, brown, cling to the rocks, while mingled with the flowers are to be seen great lazy lobsters, star fishes, abalones, sea cucumbers and occasionally an octopus. It is doubtful whether at any other place in the world, not excepting even Santa Catalina Island, can views of such marvellous beauty be obtained. But nature did not lavish all her wonders on the marine life of Santa Cruz. Even more marvellous are the wonders that she has wrought in the domain of geology. Although no craters have been found on the island, it is evidently of volcanic origin. It is one of the projecting-summits of a nearly submerged range of mountains. The shores are irregular and indented with a number of small bays, but generally bold. Either by some great upheaval or by the wearing of the waters for many ages, great caverns extending far into the bowels of the island have been formed. It is said that there are not fewer than fifty of these caves. One of them is about a mile from Lady's Harbor. The entrance is through an air are perhaps twelve feet high and scarcely ten feet wide. Not far from the entrance the cave widens and verges into a great, silent cavern, the walls of which present a variety of splendid and beautiful colors. Valdez's cave is so called because it was once, according to local tradition, at least, the headquarters of a pirate and smuggler named Valdez. Long before the place was a favorite resort for Indians. It is rumored, too, that in recent years smugglers have made use of this cave as a storehouse and stopping place for their transportation business. Chinamen have also sometimes found it a convenient place while seeking to evade the exclusion law. It does not need tradition or romance, however, to give interest to the place. Just above the surface of the water there is an opening cut far back into the rock, thus forming a broad, sheltered retreat, with a good landing place in front. From this spacious shelter in the rock a great archway or tunnel extends entirely through a projecting point of rock to the opposite side, where it opens out again upon the sea beside great, rough walls. Fishermen often stay at this cave, sleeping on the smooth, sandy slope of its floor. No tent or other covering is needed. But most wonderful of all the wonders of Santa Cruz is the Palmed Cave, No one has yet fully explored this cave and its extent is unknown. The opening is about 300 feet wide at the water line, and 150 feet high. A line dropped at the entrance showed the water to be about seventy feet deep. Within the cave is ample room for the biggest battleship in the American navy to lie at rest, with plenty of space above her masts and with thirty feet of water below her keel. The size of the entrance permits the light to enter so that not only the walls of the cave but objects in the clear water as well may be seen. It is the coloring of the walls that has given the name to the cave. In variety and splendor the colors here exceed those of any of the smaller caves that we visited. They are won- derfully beautiful. The walls are like vast mosaics of gray, brown, green, yellow, red and other colors, varnished with moisture. The effect is such that one feels almost as if he were in some great cathedral with frescoed walls and stained-glass windows. Looking down into the clear, green-tinted water another wonderland presents itself. When all is still a multitude of forms of sea life is seen in the depths below. Here, again, the brilliant golden perch and many other varieties of fishes of various sizes and hues are disporting themselves, sometimes darling through the water, sometimes lying at rest, and sometimes moving about cautiously. Sometimes an ugly shark passes leisurely along and finally disappears among seaweed. `A moment later` a seal passes by en route from the other waters to the inner recesses of the cave. A little further in starfish are seen on the bottom. The herds of seals that make their home in the deep retreats of the great cavern now and again set up `a` howling, and the echo and reverberation make a noise like thunder or an earthquake. How far these caverns extend, or what others there may be beyond them no one knows. Up to this point light enough comes from the entrance to make artificial light unnecessary. But inside the deeper caverns one plunges soon into profound darkness. Uncle John's Preference. A number of stories are related.concerning a quaint old man, "Uncle John" Berry, of Holderness. One in particular is connected with a "series" of meetings at the Holderness Meeting House, conducted by a pastor from a neighboring town. The preacher was accompanied by members of his congregation, who assisted in the services. Among these was a Mr. and Mrs. Smith, "Uncle John" took much interest in the meetings, and, having an eye for feminine charms, became especially interested in Mrs. Smith, whose singing seemed to lend a potent charm to the services. One night the pastor, having no conveyance, rode to Holderness with Mr. Smith, the latter's wife staying at home. On-arriving at the meeting house Smith was met by a man who owed him a small sum, and who, in paying it, said: "Here's fifty cents for bringing the minister." "Uncle John" overheard the conversation, and was not slow in showing his astonishment. "Did he give you a half-dollar for bringing the parson?" he asked. "Didn't you hear what he said?" replied Smith. "Well," said the old man, "I'd ruther gin you fifty cents to fetch up your wife."-Boston Herald. Night Have Got It. A young fellow in a country-town in the north is a somewhat disreputable character, and is almost continually begging from his friends. In the latter connection he tells an amusing story, although it is at his own expense. He went up to an old school-fellow, and said: "Look here, H—, will you be so kind as to give me the loan of a sovereign? I'll pay you back in a few days." The schoolfellow smiled faintly, and replied: "Well, if you had asked me in a candid and straightforward manner for the loan of a sovereign I would have lent you the money, but asking me in the way you do gives me reason for distrusting you." The borrower looked the astonishment he felt, and said: "I don't quite understand you." "You asked me if I would be so kind as to lend you a sovereign." "Yes," said the borrower; "what then?" "Well, if you had been candid you would have said to me: 'Look here, H—, be such an ignominious ass, such a hopeless idiot, as to lend me a sovereign,' and with words like these you might have got it'."—London Tit-Bits. Found Ten Cents, Paid a Dollar. C. S. Peach, of North Adams, has received a letter from New Hampshire, where he lived many years ago, and in it was enclosed a dollar bill. The letter is not dated or signed, but the writer says that when he was a child he visited Mr. Peach's room, where he boarded, and found ten cents there, which he kept. The matter has troubled him of late, and so he sought out Mr. Peach's address and forwarded the dollar in order to restore the original sum of ten cents with interest. Mr. Peach has no idea who the person is that sent the letter and money—New Haven Palladium. Our Candy in England. A deputation of confectioners, mineral water dealers, glass bottle manufacturers and allied and subsidiary trades of Great Britain recently waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to urge the discontinuance of the tax on sugar, because "it was exercising most disastrous effects upon the industries represented." A Mr. Edwards, the first speaker, said that America was sending to Great Britain 150,000 tons of confectionery per month, with no duty on it.—Consular Reports, SUPPLEMENT TO SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY; APRIL 22, 1905. THIS following true story was translated for Success Magazine by Adachi Kinnosuke: In a quiet corner of the province of Kagawa, in the compound of a temple called Zentsuil, you can find a temporary hospital. Within it are men who have brought back from Manchuria something that carries more distinction than medals. These men are the wounded of the war. Among them is an engineer, who answers to the name of Kawamura Sakuji. He was one of the kesshital (a band of men who are determined to die)—men who won the distinction of having been selected to carry out a military operation, the doing of which in all probability would result in their death. One night he was chosen with twenty others of the kesshital to cut down the wire entanglement in front of a Russian position. Before they could reach their position they lost thirteen killed and three wounded. Kawamura was fortunate to be one of the men who took part in the final attempt to break down the entanglement. He tells the story as follows: "The kesshital of the company of engineers, No. 3, were under the command of Sergeant Hosol; there were Miyoshi, Matanaka, Tsutsuji, Suga, Kawada and myself, seven in all. The night was far gone. All was silent. We went and cut down the branches of trees well covered with leaves. These we stuck upon ourselves. Clothell in the leafy boughs, we went back to the simplicity of primitive days. The colors of night are kindly to dark leaves. They would shelter us from the critical eyes of Russian curiosity. Searchlights were playing nervously. We were to perform a famous feat in crawling on all fours for many meters. Our ambition was not exactly to attract attention of the Russians and receive their applause from their quick-fireers. All sorts of fireworks seemed to help the work of their searchlights. We made slow progress, always on all fours. We reached the second netting of barbed wire, and this we hacked away without very much trouble. Front of us was the final fence. We had had a happy run of luck so far. We did not wish to spoil it by a touch of carelessness or too much daring. Cautiously, therefore, we went on our stomachs to make the distance between the second and the first barbed wire entanglements. All this distance was a surprise to us; it was covered with many things evinculde of the skill and thoughtfulness of the Russian engineers. It was about 100 meters in length. The ground was sloping. It was filled with pitfalls and mines innumerable. For a second time these mines made us forget the first line of wire fence toward which we were making our way. First of all, we had to dispose of the mines. We had reason to suspect that they were electric mines, and, in fact, the Russian engineers, with all their thoughtfulness, did not always take the trouble to bury the conductors. We discovered and cut as many as four conductors, which were just about the size of my thumb. They were wrapped in a rubber coating, and within the rubber coating we found over twenty-four small wires. I carried no scissors about me. These electric wires were a neat surprise to us. The severe usage to which it had been put had dulled the edge of my ax almost as blunt as the edge of my palm. It could not cut the rubber-wrapped wires on soft earth. Time was pressing. We were in danger of being discovered before we could get at the first line of barbed wire fence, which was the last goal of our efforts; moreover, we were somewhat impatient. So all of us fell upon those electric wires, and with our teeth we bit them off. I fear we may have been somewhat excited. We did some damage to our teeth by this work. When a man tells you that he did not know when his teeth were being broken, you would not believe him. That man might be telling the truth, under some circumstances, however." He laughed a laugh innocent and childlike, and in the laughter you could see more than two broken teeth in his mouth. Nothing else could drive home the conviction quilty so powerfully as those broken teeth of his. BOTTLING PORT ARTHUR. When the first brief press dispatches told of the Japanese attempts to block the Russian fleet in Port Arthur, as Lieutenant Hobson tried to bottle up the Spanards in Santiago, all the world thrilled with the story of the heroism of the little men who handled the ships. Almost incredible, however, is the circumstantial account of the third and successful venture, as told in the Century Magazine. Nine steamers had been prepared for the operation, each loaded with cement, which would harden when the vessel sank and become solid rock. Each vessel was armed with a machine gun to keep the crew employed during the terrible time when they would be under fire. A fleet of gunboats and destroyers conveyed the vessels to clear the way, and if possible pick up the survivors. A gale sprang up as they started, and soon a heavy sea was running. The ships became separated, and the commander set the signal to turn back, intending to wait for a quiet night. But the Japanese Nelsons "failed to see" the signal, and each ship held its course. The first to arrive found the destroyers already fighting with the Russian patrol ships, at the mouth of the harbor, and thinking that the work had begun, steamed straight in. There had been hot work before, but nothing equal to this. The Russians had mounted new batteries near the water on both sides of the channel, and had set up new searchlights. As the first ship started in, one after another the searchlights picked her up, and battery after battery opened fire on her. Observation mines were fired, throwing a great glare over the water. Into this brilliant light the blockading ship advanced. Mines exploded all about her as she steamed on, and shells whistled over her, plunged into the water on all sides, or crashed into her hull or through her rigging. But luck was hers, and no shot struck a vital place. On she drove, straight into the channel, her men working the gun and singing their war songs as they fired. The Russians had built a heavy boom across the channel to keep the "Japa" out. Slap against this went the steamer, tore through it and on up channel till fairly in the middle of the narrowest part. Then she swung across the fairway, let go her anchor, and fired the mine in her hull. She went down as truly as if the whole thing had been a drill. Hard behind her came her mates, one after another. The crested combers driving in on the gile were chopped and torn by the myriad shells that screeched from the Russian batteries. The searchlights played over the water with steady, unceasing sweep; every instant exploding mines added to the din and glare, but still they came. All but one reached the harbor, and strove to win the appointed place. The second passed the boom, picked her place and went down by her master's hand. The third struck the boom, turned broadside, grappled it and went down. Two others turned ahead and astern of her across the fairway and sank. Russian mines sank the other three further out, but the channel was closed. The great object was attained. Then under that awful hall of shot and shell the destroyers picked up the escaping crews. Of the ships which went down outside every man was rescued, but those who reached the boom found return cut off by the opposing gale. There was to them but a single course open, and they took it gladly. Gaining the shore they formed and charged up the heights, determined to sell their lives dearly in an attempt upon the Russian forts. But the Russians, admiring their heroism, held their fire and greeted them with cheer as they made them prisoners. A SHIP CAPTAIN IN IRONS. William Griffiths arrived in Plymouth a prisoner on his own ship. Now he is under remand, charged with attempting to murder two members of his crew. "The Tamar is a full rigged ship, registered at London," said Ove Madsen, the mate, when Griffiths was brought before the magistrate. "On her way from Hamburg she left Cuxhaven on a Tuesday. At 5.30 on the same evening she was close to a light, which I found from the light book to be the Isle of Vlerge, near Ushant. "When I asked the captain for the light book he replied: 'Find it if you can. I can't.' When I did find it the captain took the book from my hand and tore up part of it, saying: 'To— with the book, with the ship and with you.' "I suggested that he should back ship, but he replied: 'If you are going to do anything without my orders I will shoot you. I am master of this ship, and if it goes on shore that will come on me.'" "After being asked several times to back the vessel, he put his right hand in his pocket and pulled out a revolver. I was afraid to run away, as I might have been shot in the back. The captain fired at me, the shot passing close by my right ear. "To save the ship and the men's lives the captain, was secured by myself, the second and third mates and some of the crew. It took a quarter of an hour to get hold of him and take the revolver out of his pocket. All the time he was threatening to shoot everybody. Having secured him, we put him in irons and locked him in the chart room. He had been drinking heavily, and was sometimes delirious." After flying at the mate, it is alleged, Griffiths shot at Albert Whitley, an able seaman, who was steering the ship into a safe course. For the second time he missed his mark—London Mail. Paralyzed the Audience. When Colonel "Jack" Haverly was in the heyday of his career the minstrel show at his Fourteenth Street Theatre was an institution of national prominence. The Wednesday matinee there was the "trying out" performance, when applicants for engagements were given an opportunity to appear and show what they could do. Some one had enlisted Mrs. Haverly's interest in a team of young clog dancers and she induced the Colonel to let them go on. When they did their "turn" they proved to be, in the theatrical parlance, of to-day, "the worst ever." They could scarcely dance at all, and there was not the slightest hint of applause. The audience was as still as a church congregation. Naturally the Colonel was indignant and Mrs. Haverly was deeply mortified. At the end of the performance the young dancers went to the Colonel's office. "Well, boys," said he, trying not to be heirah, "you did your turn. You had your dance—but I can't engage you." "Why not?" "Because you didn't get a hand." "Why, Colonel, we simply had them paralyzed."

THE SOUTHERN MFG. CO. Richmond, Va. BAKING POWDER Dyspepsia of Women ABSOLUTELY NEEDLESS AGONY Cauzed by Uttline Disorders and Cured by Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which need to be treated with a voluntary treatment. While the symptoms are similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicine universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. M. Wright Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only aids as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also. As proof of this theory we call attention to the case of Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after everything else had failed. She writes: "For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated my entreaties that I was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me. I was advised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial, and was happily surprised to see it acted like a fine tonic, and in a few days I became well fed. My recovery was rapid, and in five weeks I was a well woman. I have recommended it to many suffering women." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified use. The causes of female troubles, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

"No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terrible painful, itching and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experience such awful suffering, and I longed for death, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medicines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment, and was soon entirely well. (Signed) Mrs. A. Etson, Bellevue, Mich."

In the institution for the instruction of the deaf and dumb, in One Hundred and sixty-third street, there is a deaf, dumb and blind girl not quite seventeen, of which Principal Currier says: "With her mentality, and allowing that she will continue to improve as she has done in the past, there is no reason to doubt that she will in time arrive at as high a state of development as Heller Keller." The girl is Ella M. Hopkins, of Utica, N. Y., a child in appearance. About eight years ago the girl contracted yellow fever, and when she recovered, could neither see, speak nor near. She was sent to the institution for the instruction of the deaf and dumb, and to-day Ella Hopkins sees, speaks and hears with her sensitive finger tips. It has been discovered that upon occasions, when having no previous knowledge of the fact, she has been sitting in a room where two persons were engaged in conversation, she has later been able to write of the subjects they discussed.—New York correspondence to the Philadelphia North American.

German Foresta Nearly one-fourth of the surface of the entire German empire is covered with forests, about 48,000 square miles, more than one-sixth (58,000 square miles) being occupied by what the Germans call "hochwald;" that is, forests of full-grown trees. The area occupied by trees of the pine family is more than three times as great as that occupied by all the varieties of deciduous trees combined. Of the 5,658,000 acres of deciduous trees 1,172,000 acres are oak, 467,000 acres are birch, alder and aspen and 4,019,000 acres are beech etc. Of the 18,495,000 acres of needle-leafed trees, 12,327,000 acres are pine 29,000 acres are larch, 5,482,000 acres are red fir, and 657,000 acres are white fir. About $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. of the "hochwald" is owned by the crown, nearly 40 per cent. by the State, 15 per cent. by municipal governments, and about 40 per cent by private persons. The entire area devoted to forests is to-day nearly 200,000 acres greater than it was twenty years ago. Between 1883 and 1900 the decrease in the area of forests of deciduous trees amounted to 567,000 acres, while the gain in the extent of the forests of pines, larches and firs was 760,000 acres. Wanted Hls Gun. St. Louis, it seems, nas as much trouble convicting its criminals of the Pinky Blitz character as Kansas City has. A Kansas City lawyer, while in that city the other day, dropped in on a friend who is a judge and found him holding court. A young man whom everybody knew was a criminal was being tried for alleged complicity in the holdup of a Dutch groceryman. In the robbery the Dutchman had grappled with one of the two robbers and had wrested his gun from him. The robbers escaped, but the storekeeper retained the revolver, and it was offered in evidence at the trial. The prisoner managed to "fake up" a strong alibi and, although the Dutchman positively identified him as the smaller of the robbers, he was acquitted. When the jury had delivered its verdict the young man approached the bench and said: "Judge, can I have my gun now?" "What's that?" said the Judge sternly. The young man realized his mistake and ran out of the court room. The jury was mad. "Can't we get him back here and convict him?" asked the foreman. "No," replied the Judge, "he's been acquitted, but I hope he robs the home of every one of you."—Kansas City times. The Joy of Work It is better to lose health like a spondthrift than to waste it like a miser. It is better to live and be done with it than to die daily in the sick room. By all means, begin your folio; even if the doctor does not give you a year, even if he hesitates about a month, make one brave push and see what can be accomplished in a week. It is not only in finished undertakings that we ought to honor useful labor. A spirit goes out of the man who means execution which outlives the most untimely ending. All who have meant good work with their whole hearts have done good work, although they may die before they have time to sign it. Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the traditions of mankind—Robert Louis Stevenson. THE IGNOMINIOUS END. "My poor child," her mother cried as the beautiful girl came home sobbing, at the end of her wedding trip, "what in the world has happened? What has the monster done? Tell me—tell me, darling, quick. Don't keep anything back. "Oh, it's all over. My d-d-dream is ended. My n-h-hopes are shattered. He doesn't l-lu-love me any more. Yesterday he wanted me to gather up all his old letters and burn them." HONEST CONFESSION. A Doctor's Talk on Food. There are no falter set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an eminent practitioner, one of the good old school, who lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished tale needs no dressing up: "I had always had an intense prejudice, which I can now see, was unwarrantable and unreasonable, against all much advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the many 'ads,' of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till last winter. "While in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the ruddiest, healthiest little boys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for supper with my little grandsons. I became exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, refreshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill effects whatever, causing no eructations (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress of stomach in any way. "There is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly" upon my stomach as this does. I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for ten years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and indigestion."
