VOL. XXII. PEOPLE'S CASH FREELY SPENT Fifty-Ninth Congress, Which Adjourned Monday. PASSED THE BILLION MARK Short Summary of the Most Important Legislation Enacted During the Short Session. The fifty-ninth congress, which expired on Monday, at noon, has been most liberal in the matter of appropriations. The budget for the expenses of the government for the fiscal year 1908 is in excess of $1,000,000,000. The river and harbor bill alone provides for an expenditure of $830,000,000, and this work will probably come closer to the people at large and have a more beneficial effect upon business conditions generally than any other government enterprise unless it be the postal service The appropriation bill also provides for the construction of two new battleships at an expense of about $10,000,600. It includes a, raise of salaries for cabinet officers, the vice president, the speaker of the house, senators and representatives. It also grants an increase to ambassadors, ministers and consuls. It carries a loan of one million dollars for the Jamestown exposition and an appropriation for the Alaska-Yukon exposition. It grants more pay to the rural free delivery carriers and increased remuneration to postal clerks. The railroads, the packing houses, the express companies, the high tariff interests and the protectionists have little to regret as the result of bills enacted by congress the past few months. Not only were bills put through favorable to the "interests," but remedial legislation in the interest of the people and urged upon congress by the president, were not acted upon. The epitaph over this congress might be: "I have done much that I should not have done, and I have left undone those things I should have done." In the immigration bill and in the sixteen-hour bill, for the protection of railway employees, has this freak of legislation been resorted to by the republicans to embarrass and aound the minority. In its final analysis it means that five or six or seven members of a conference committee practically assume the power of legislating in place of the senate and house of representatives. An important feature of the present session has been the failure to pass any extensive legislation affecting the railroads. The LaFollette bill, providing for a reduction of $7,000,000 per annum in the payment to railroads for carrying the mail, was introduced in the senate as an amendment to the postal appropriations bill. It was defeated in the house, and after a bitter struggle in the conference committee was reduced about $4,000,000 annually. Senator Aldrich attempted to kill the denatured alcohol bill, but enough republicans joined with the democrats to reserve to the farmers the right to operate their own stills for the manufacture of denatured alcohol for domestic use. Despite the demands from all sections of the country for tariff revision, there will be no effort at revision, it has been definitely decided, until after the next presidential election. Among the measures which have passed, it might be mentioned in recapitulation, are those prohibiting campaign contributions from corporations, the exclusion of Japanese cooie labor, granting the government the right of appeal in criminal cases under certain conditions, an investigation into woman and child labor and the ratification of the Santo Domingo and Algeciras treaties. TRIP TO THE CANAL ZONE Being Arragged by Business Men of South and Southwest. Secretary Shannon of the Nashville, Tenn., board of trale, is daily in receipt of letters asking information regarding the proposed-trip to Panama from various points in the south and southwest and as far west as Duluth, Minn. Every indication points to a complete success of the movement. It is the present intention to call from New Orleans about the first of April. Savannah Tribune. LIGHT ON QUEER DEAL Handed Contractor Oliver is Sought of President Roosevelt by Senator Tillman. A resolution was presented in the senate Saturday by Senator Tillman calling on the president to send to the senate, "If in his judgment not incompatable with the public interest, all papers of information in his possession in regard to the proposed letting of the contract for the construction of the Panama canal, which was bid for by W. J. Oliver, and others, and to state the existing status." In a speech supporting the resolution Mr. Tillman said the whole country wanted the canal constructed with as little scandal as possible. "There have been some remarkable occurrences in connection with this work," he continued. Reference was then made to the resignation of Mr. Wallace, who, he said, was berated and abused by the secretary of war. "Then came the information that Chairman Shouts was retaining his railroad business; that the canal work was insufficient to occupy his entire time, and then the statement that he was going cut. "And then came Mr. Stevens' resignation. Now comes the matter of Mr. Oliver's bid for the work." Mr. Oliver, he said, was an efficient and able contractor and his bid was the lowest. "But at once hocus pocus came into the game. As I understand it Mr. Oliver has complied with every requirement. I may be a little suspicious, but there has appeared to me a disposition to let in the bidders who were a little too greedy in their first bids. Now Oliver has disappeared and the army engineers are said to be put on the job. I want a little information," concluded Mr. Tillman. Senator Carmack said he had prepared an identical resolution to that introduced by Mr. Tillman. It seems to him that Mr. Oliver had received very bad treatment. He had spent $30,000 or $40,000 of his own money in complying with the requirements of the government and had made the lowest bid. Because of objection the resolution went over for future action under the rules. PROBING OF COITON EXCHANGES To Be Started at Once by Department of Commerce and Labor. A Washington dispatch says: In accordance with the house resolution providing for an investigation of the business methods of cotton exchanges dealing in futures, the bureau of corporations of the department of commerce and labor will begin a general inquiry into cotton dealing immediately. Representative Livingston, of Georgia, who has been active for months in the agitation for reformation in the methods of cotton exchanges, said that he expects to appear before the bureau and present much data which he has collected on the methods of cotton dealers. The department has been supplied by Mr. Livingston with the names of many witnesses whom he wishes to have called, and additional lists will be furnished by representatives of the cotton exchanges and other persons interested in the investigation. As the resolution was amended by the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce it does not provide for an investigation of any particular exchange, but is believed by members of congress interested in the matter to be broad enough to extend the inquiry to the New York, New Orleans and Memphis cotton exchanges. Carworkers of Coast Line Strike. The car inspectors and car workers of the second and third divisions of the Atlantic Coast Line went out on a strike Saturday morning in Waycross, Ga. The men recently asked for a 25 per cent increase, which was declined. A NEED OF MORE WARSHIPS To Protect American Interests in Central American War Zone. Developments in the war in Central America, with the indications that at least four of the republics have become involved, has led the state and navy department officials to consider the expediency of increasing the American naval force in those waters and it is probable that within a few days several other ships will be ordered to reinforce the Marletta and Chicago in protecting American interests there. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 9. 1907. RUSSIAN DOUMA IS ASSEMBLED People's Representatives Meet for Second Session at Capital. IS FOLLOWED BY RIOTING Enormous Crowds of Proletariat and Students Make Revolutionary Demonstrations But are Curbed. The opening in St. Petersburg Tuesday of the duma, or the lower house of the Russian parliament, although in itself devoid of interest, was made the occasion of a. great revolutionary demonstration by the St. Petersburg proletariat and students of the city, which resulted in several encounters between the students and the police, and more or less serious injury of the latter. The situation was such that authorities were finally forced to fill the streets with military as in the ominous days of the Trepoff regime. After adjournment of the session of the house, a tumultuous crowd, by this time estimated to number close to 40,000 persons, with red banners flying and accompanied by the music of revolutionary chants, started toward the central quarter of the city, where the winter palace of the emperor is located. Pew elements of the prelude of "Red Sunday" were lacking and the command, "fire," would have precipitated a similar massacre. But the present prefect of St. Petersburg, General Dracheffski, followed another course, and dispersed the procession by charges of mounted gendarmes, armed with whips, and by an imposing display of force, he prevented the demonstrators from reforming. During the long hours of the morning and afternoon the police guarding the Tauride palace acted with great forbearance, giving the spectators a free vent in singing and cheering, and only interfering to prevent the people from forcing their way into the palace. When the deputies emerged after the adjournment of the session the temper of the crowd was fired by speeches from social revolutionary members, a dozen of whom mounted upon the shoulders of their followers and harrangued those present upon the necessity of organizing to support parliament against the government. The social revolutionary motto, "Through fight our right," was adopted as a general slogan, and simultaneously red handkerchiefs began to flutter above the heads of the crowd, and then the crimson banners appeared like magic. In the meantime the authorities had hastily, concentrated a strong force ofgendarmes, which charged the head of the procession when it reached the Litloiny prospect, one of the main business avenues of the city. Thegendarmes plied their whips vigorously, and in one case used the flats of their sailers. The crowd attempted to reassemble in front of the detention prison, where hundreds of political prisoners are confined, and again in front of the general court building, where the political trials are held, but in each instance it was dispersed. M. Goluboff, vice president of the council of the empire, called the lower house to order and in a colorless speech invited the members to sign the path of allegiance to Emperor Nicholas The conservatives cheered the mention of the hamb of the emperor, but the opposition members remained silent. M. Feodor Golouin, president of the Moscow province, was elected president. He is a member of one of the oldest families of Russia, and one of the foremost liberals of the old school, but in no sense a radical. He has many friends in court circles and is understood to have the support of the labor and peasant members of the house. SENATOR FRYE AND THE DAM BILL. Lawmaker from Maine Causes 'Hilarity Among Dignified Solons.' Senator Frye, of Maine, starred the senate Saturday. He was on his feet making a report from his committee on commerce, on several bills, when he suddenly raised his voice, and exclaimed. "If I can get immediate consideration for that dam bill I will promise the senate not to report another dam bill this session." Amid, a general laugh the bill was passed and a dam will be built across certain shoals in the Savannah river. CAN CUT OUT BOOZE. Judge Speer Decides That Municipal Councils Have Right to Refuse to Issue Whisky Licenses. In a decision Monday Judge Emory Speer, in the United States district court, at Augusta, held that the city of Valdosta, Ga., had a perfect right to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor in its corporate limits. The opinion is the result of an application for injunction brought by E. E. West and others, of Florida, that would restrain the council of Valdosta from passing such an ordinance. Counsel for the applicants fully stated the grounds of his bill and was then asked: "Is that all?" His reply being in the affirmative, Judge Spacer delivered his opinion, which is in part as follows: "This is a bill presented by E. E. West and William B. Roberts, residents and citizens of the state of Florida, in which they pray for said, as stated by their counsel. This is that this court shall grant an injunction restraining the majority of the municipal council of the city of Valdosta from enacting an ordinance prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors within the corporate limits of that town. They are not directly interested in the sale of liquor themselves, but incidentally they claim that their property is benefited by the traffic. One of them is a hotel keeper, or is interested in a hotel, and, presumably, there is a bar in his hotel, or if there is no bar there, his receipts are augmented by the bibulous individuals who flocked to Valdosta to allay their thirst. "The mayor and council of the city of Valdosta having the right to regulate and grant licenses, presupposes the right to refuse them or to revoke them. I think it will be a most excellent thing for the property of these gentlemen, and for the property of everybody in Valdosta, and in Lowndes county, and for their moral status as well, if the city council (or other city councils) would prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks, would stand steadfastly to that prohibition and enforce it rigorously by due process of law. I believe it would do more to solve the urgent and vital problems which are pressing on our southern people, do more to decrease the volume of vagrancy and crime, give the farming and manufacturing interests of the country reliable and industrious labor, save the unprotected women of our country from the horror of wrongs which shake the whole nation, and more to restore us to the simple life and genuine old-fashioned Americanism, safety, contentment and peace than all other causes put together. And this will be the last court, that I am aware of, which will entertain an application of this sort to interfere with the city government, in any measure which may stop the traffic in intoxicating liquors." WHILE ENGINEER WAS ABSENT Freight Train Rolled From Siding to Main Line and Collision Occurred. With no engineer at the throttle, freight train No. 81 drifted from a side track to the main line at Howell Station, near Atlanta, Monday morning, and was crashed into with such force by incoming Southern passenger train, No. 143, that five postal clerks, a negro passenger and one of the conductors were painfully hurt, and both engines badly damaged. As is usual the freight train was side-tracked at Howell Station that the passenger train from Greenville might pass. While waiting for the latter train to put in appearance, Engineer Davis made his way to the telegraph station that is but a few yards distant from the place of the wreck, and was there at the time the collision took place. The siding on which the freight train lay is a good deal elevated above the principal track, and, with no one at hand to apply emergency brakes or resort to some other expedient, it rolled slowly to the main track, when the passenger train swept down on it. OLIVER MAY SUE FOR. EXPENSES. Says Uacle Sam Should Reimburse Him for Lost Lash. It is rumored in Washington that Mr. Oliver will submit a bill to the administration for $40,000, expended by him in forming the Panama Construction Company. If not approved, he will take his complaint to congress. He went to this expense, he says, on an intimation from the president that his bid would be accepted if he associated with himself some men who were acceptable, who could help assume the responsibilities of the undertaking. BAD SMASHUP ON SEABOARD No. 38 Limited Crashes Into Runaway Freight Cars. ONLY ONE LIFE IS LOST Engineer Was Pinned Under Overturned Engine and Cremated--Coaches and Freight Cars Burned. Train No. 38, of the Seaboard Air Line, known as the Exposition Limited, crashed into ten runaway freight cars 1 1-4 miles from Powder Springs, Ga., at 7:04 o'clock Friday night, and in the smashup, which resulted one man, Engineer Hudgins, was burned to death, seven persons badly injured, the passenger engine and five coaches utterly destroyed and five freight cars reduced to ashes. A few minutes before the accident a freight train one mile from the scene of the wreck started to side-track in order to allow the coming passenger the right of way. In some way ten of the cars, five of them loaded with cotton, broke loose from the train and started down the track toward the approaching No. 28 at a fast galt. One mile from the starting point the brakes worked, and the flagman, leaping to the ground, rushed ahead to flag the oncoming engine. He says he did flag the train, and it is the opinion of those on the train that either he warned the engineer or that Hudgins in some way became aware of the danger, for one of the passengers testifies that there were three distinct shocks, the first when the emergency brake was put on the train. It was too late, however, for the engineer to save his own life, though his action, it is believed, was responsible for the safety of the passengers, for the next moment the engine plowed its way into the first freight car. In the frightful shock that followed, the engine tumbled down the embankment, a distance of fifteen feet, and there fell over on its side, pinning the engineer under it. The engine being out of the way the first baggage car then hit the first freight car and piled upon it. Another second and the mail car was added to the heap, while the smoker, halfway off the track, continued to hang on. The passengers, shocked and bruised, having realized that they had escaped with their lives, scramoled out of the cars and crowded out into a field of mud, while a heavy rainstorm beat down on them, rendering their situation exceedingly uncomfortable. As the last of the passengers left the cars the trainmen started on their rescue work, the first coach began to burn as if the rain were so much kerosene oil, the mali car, baggage car, engine and first coach blazing with increased brilliancy. The spreading flames soon reached the other coaches, and then continued on their way through five of the freight cars which were the cause of the wreck. The five which were utterly destroyed were loaded with cotton. The injured were taken to nearby homes, and the passengers footed it through the rain for over a mile to Powder Springs, where all possible was done for their comfort. SUDDEN DEATH FOR JUSGE. Seaborn Reese, Prominent Georgian, Succumbs to Heart Disease. Judge Seaborn Reese was found dead in his law office in Sparta, Ga., Friday afternoon. His death is attributed to heart disease. The passing of Judge Reese removes from the scene of action one of the most prominent men in public life in the state, which he has served, notably, in the capacity of legislator, congressman, jurist and citizen. ROAD OFFICIALS MUST ANSWER: Coroner's Jury Readers Verdict Ament New York Central Wreck. The jury at New York in the coroner's inquest into the New York Central wreck on February 16, when twenty-three persons were killed, brought in a verdict Monday night, holding the operating and construction departments responsible. Failing to get names he declared that he would hold the entire board of directors and the president of the New York Central and parole them. NO.23. SCOTCH GIRLS AVAILABLE "I can begin to send Scotch girls for domestics as soon as you are ready to receive them." The foregoing is an interesting extract from a letter just received by Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson from James A. Strachan, who is now in Glasgow, Scotland, where he is representing Georgia as commissioner of immigration and from which country he has already sent a number of immigrants to Georgia. Mr. Strachan writes Mr. Hudson that eight young Scotchmen sailed from Glasgow on the Anchor Line Steamer Columbia, February 22, for Savannah, and asks that arrangements be made to take care of them. Commissioner Hudson will see that this is done. Mr. Strachan also writes that he is now devoting his attention to making up a well-selected company to sail on March 9. He continues: "After accomplishing this I would then like to give my undivided attention to the chartering of a steamship to take, a ship-load across, but in order to effectually carry forward the work, the state of Georgia will have to put more funds at my disposal, as the amount sent is entirely inadequate to cover more, than a fraction of the expense incurred, not to speak of some personal compensation out of it for myself. "Sometimes it has been a real hardship for me ot carry on the work, for after having used up my own resources, I had even to borrow enough to pay postage to answer correspondence in the interests of immigration, which has now become quite an item in itself. To add to my financial burdens the great majority of my American correspondents would persist in not paying sufficient postage on letters, some only using a 2-cent stamp, when their letters required a 10-cent stamp, and it is the postal rules to impose a fine of double postage for any deficiency. "I assure you I will try to perform my whole duty under every circumstance, and will not incur any needless expense in carrying out my mission. I am not here to play or trifle and have no intention of shirking my duty. I believe the Empire State of the South will fully rise to the emergency, and not let me suffer while serving her interests. "In this connection I wish to call your attention to the fact that the city of Rome, Ga., single-handed put $1,500 at Mr. Swanson's disposal when he started on his mission to Sweden. "If given sufficient backing I can procure a shipload of 500 or more selected immigrants from Glasgow. Southampton and Liverpool are out of my jurisdiction. You will recall that my commission only covers Scotland. If you wish me to work in English and other territory you will have to grant me a commission for Great Britain and Ireland. "I can begin to send Scotch girls for domestics as soon as you are ready to receive them." "Farm help cannot be got in any great numbers till after May 26 — 'Term day.' They are engaged in Scotland for six months and a year, and their engagement ends and begins on the date mentioned. It will be necessary, however, to do vigorous propoganda work among them beforehand, in order to secure them before re-engaging to their masters." Mr. Strachan's present address is James A. Strachan, No. 80 Watt street, S. S. Glasgow, Scotland. BODY IS FULL OF NEEDLES. Woman Swallowed a Whole Package and Surgeons are at Work. Mrs. Dolly Dussler, 22 years old, of New York city, who swallowed a package of needles several months ago, is at present under treatment in Bellevue hospital, where the surgeon states she has still scores of needles in her body. At the Fordham hospital, where the woman was first treated, five operations were performed and fifty needles extracted. SENATOR BACON IS APPOINTED To Succeed Himself for the Interim Term By Governor Terrell. Governor Terrell of Georgia has ap- pointed Senator A. O. Bacon to suc- ceed himself for the interim term between March 4 and the meeting of the Georgia legislature in June, at which he will be elected United States senator for another term of six years. In a letter to Governor Terrell Senator Bacon stated that he had found ample precedent for such an appointment. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

Members of the Gordon monument commission will meet on March 11th at the state capitol for the purpose of opening bids to erect the pedestal and also to decide upon the date for unveiling the statue and arrange the program for the occasion. Hopes have been expressed that it might be possible to have the unveiling ceremonies on the 12th day of May. It is stated, however, that the exercises will more likely be held some time during the month of June, probably on the second day after the general assembly is convened. The equestrian statue is now being cast under the direction of Solon Borglum, the sculptor. The jury at Lyons in the case of William T. Gilpin, charged with the murder of W. W. McDonald, a prominent attorney of Douglas, brought in a verdict of not guilty, after having been out several hours. Gilpin shot McDonald in his wife's room at the Rimes House in Vidalia, one night last October. He had concealed himself in the closet of the room. After McDonald had entered, Gilpin sprang from his place of confinement and emptied two revolivers at McDonald. Gilpin pleaded the "unwritten law" as his defense. The state alleged that Gilpin had conspired to take the life of McDonald. Mrs. Gilpin was also under indictment, but the case against her was not prosecuted. According to Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, it is up to the Georgia Immigration Association to get busy quick in the matter of getting immigrants to the south. The longer the delay, the more severe the restrictions likely to be put upon immigration agents by the foreign countries from which we are seeking to secure desirable citizens for the state and section. "I am reliably informed," said Mr Hudson, "that the foreign countries from which we propose to draw immigrants, are constantly putting new restrictions upon those representatives who go there for the purpose of inducing it. From the information that comes to me, I am satisfied that our immigration officials would have an easy time today compared to what will confront them in foreign countries six months from now, and the quicker we get busy the better. The matter is in the hands of the immigration association, so far as the Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. Carworkers Again on Strike. Carworkers Again on Strike. All the car workers on the Georgia railroad, who recently returned to work at Augusta, after being on strike three weeks for an increase of wages, have quit work again, alleging that the company has violated the articles of agreement. Money for Georgia Troops. The treasury department at Washington has notified Senator Clay that the claims of the Georgia Spanish-American war soldiers, which have been pending before the department for several years, have been settled, the aggregate of the awards is $29,333 and warrant for this amount will be promptly sent to Governor Terrell, who will distribute the fund. Georgia Building at Jamestown. The contract for the erection of the Georgia building at Jamestown, which will be a reproduction of Bulloch Hall, at Roswell, the girlhood home of. President Roosevelt's mother, has been let by the Georgia Jamestown commission to a Norfolk firm of contractors on a bid of $12,000. It is hoped, however, to scale that price considerably on account of a large amount of material, both lumber and brick, which the commission has had donated to it to go into the building. The first county immigration association to be organized in Georgia was formed at Butler, in Taylor county, the past week. The organization meeting was well attended by representative citizens, and great enthusiasm prevailed. President John A. Betjman, of the Georgia Immigration Association, was present, and made an address. The county association will co-operate with the state immigration association. Prominent citizens of Taylor county were elected officers of the association. * * * Bacon's Credentials Presented. A Washington dispatch says: The credentials of Senator O. A. Bacon, re-appointed by the governor of the state, for the interim between March 4, when the senator's present term expires, and the election of his successor by the legislature, which meets in June, next, were presented to the senate Saturday.

Negro Who Passed as White Man "Deported" from Albany. A negro named Pete Ziegler has been passing himself off in Albany, Ga., as a white man for the past month. Ziegler could easily pass for a white man where he was not known. He has been boarding with one of the best white families in the city and has been associating with some of Albany's best people. A visiting lady recognized him as being a negro who formerly lived in her city, and her assertion was investigated and found to be correct. Ziegler was then carried to Forresters Station, a few miles north of Albany, and ordered to board an outgoing train. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Phone 1198. Ga. Phone 2029.

TRY SHOULD HAVE-ONE Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important.

JAMES, Prop. --- FARM AND STOCK -YARD An open, smooth, frictionless trotting gait is just as essential as blood inheritance to the success of any stallion as a sire of uniform trotting speed. Some of the best breed trotting stallions have prove disappointments as sires even after having taken records in standard time, because they were rough gaited, ran behind or labored in their action. Some fifteen years ago an excele-ingly well bred stallion was given a time record at Mystic Park. His gait was so faulty that several horsemen remarked that notwithstanding his choice breeding, they would not accept the gift of his services. This stallion was given exceptionally good opportunities, but though upwards of 20 years old, he is credited with only three that have made standard records—Horse Breeder. More About Milking Machines. One of our exchanges in referring to this machine says, as the Farmer has before stated that it is a mechanical imitation of hand milking and requires very little power. Cows take kindly to it and let down their milk freely, and there is no need for hand stripping, as if milks clean. A most important consideration is that it insures absolute cleanliness in the milk. The milk passes through no tubes, goes direct from the cow into the bucket. One man or boy can attend to four machines and can milk from four to five cows in twenty minutes or about fifteen cows per hour, as many as eighteen cows per hour having bequeasily hardled. These mechanical methods will be a great boon to dairy-men, not merely on the ground of cost but also because they will add greatly to the purity of the milk. Value of Skimmilk for Laying Hens. In the first test, which covered 122 days, twenty-two hens fed skimmilike laid 1244 eggs, as compared with 996 eggs laid by the twenty-two hens fed mash wet with water. In the first period of the second test, sixty hens fed the skimmilk ration laid 862 eggs in thirty-seven days, as compared with 632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed no skimmilk. In the second period the rations were reserved. The chickens fed skimmilk laid 1220 eggs in fifty-six days, as compared with 978 in the case of the lot fed no skimmilk. In both experiments more eggs were produced when skimmilk was substituted for water for moistening the mash. Under the conditions prevailing in these experiments and with eggs sealing at twenty or twenty-five cents per dozen, the skimmilk used for moistening the mash had a feeding value of from 11-2 to two cents per quart. In these trials 802 quarts of skimmilk were fed, resulting in an increase in the egg production of 702 eggs. Some Points About Alfalfa. "It is remarkable how people have to be educated to the use of alfalfa," remarked a hay dealer who has a large retail business. "Dairymen have to have it constantly argued to them before they got on to its great value. Muitemen took to it more readily, because the mule is supposed to be able to stand anything, but the horseman has refused to feed it to any considerable extent. This is due to the fallacious idea that alfalfa would unduly stimulate the digestive organs, the same as green clover. This is not true, however. Of course, you must feed it moderately until the horse gets used to it; then there is no difference between it and the proper kinds of hay, except that it produces more flesh and brightens the coat and makes it glossy." The Department of Agriculture has been searching the world over for hardy alfalfa seed for the extreme north, and on the wind-swept plains of Siberia, far to the north, where the thermometer often stands 40 degrees below zero, and where there is little rainfall and little snow. Professor N. H. Hansen has discovered a variety of alfalfa varieties of clover which Secretary Wilson believes will be of great value for the dry land areas of the West. The alfalfa is extremely hardy and bears a yellow flower. Cows Hold up the Farm. Notwithstanding what has been said about the value of the legumes, one should not be led to believe for a moment that all of the nitrogen which they contain is gathered from the air and hence is pure gain. The fact is that the richer the farm and the greater the amount of stable manure and nitrogenous chemical manures applied, the less will be the net gain by way of the atmospheric nitrogen acquired. It has, for example, been abundantly demonstrated that the legumes in the presence of an ample supply of easily assimilable nitrogen from the atmosphere. On this account the importance of the legumes on a well managed farm is probably less as a gatherer of nitrogen than as a soil improver and a saver of grain bills—points which apparently in the last ten years have been given relatively little attention. That wise old teacher, Prof. Levi Stockbridge, lost no opportunity to impress upon his students the fact that the cow should be made to pay a profit regardless of the manure, and that the farmer who kept cows merely as manure producing machines might justly be anxious about his balance sheet. The final condition of New England agriculture would be one under which the need of commercial fertilizers might be eliminated by the development of a profitable line of animal husbandry, which should make the farm practically self-sustaining. This condition is, perhaps, most nearly reached when butter and swine constitute the chief marketable products of the farm. Egg, milk and grass farms, for example, are continually parting with large quantities of plant food.—Dr. H. J. Wheeler, Washington County, R. I. Winter Treatment. A correspondent of the Rural Magazine gives some excellent advice on the winter care of fowls. We made an extract from his article: "The warmer the house, the more necessary it is that there be no cold drafts; for fowls that are accustomed to and keep in a warm temperature, catch cold more easily than fowls that have become hardened to a rather low temperature. Knot holes and cracks cause drafts; drafts usually cause colds; colds frequently develop intoroup; and every one who has ever had experience at all with roup, knows what a dread disease it is. Once it gets hold of a flock of poultry it is next to impossible to eradicate the disease without sacrificing the greater part of the flock. If your house contains earthen floors (and we have found them to be above par as compared with other kinds), all the dropping and filth and two or three inches of the old dirt should be removed. Allow a few days for the dirt then exposed to the air to become thoroughly dry, and then bring in enough fresh soil or sand and gravel, to raise the floor of the house up to the height of at least six inches more than that of the surcending earth on the outside. Before cold weather sets in permanently, put not less than twelve to fourteen inches of good dry litter of some kind all over the floor of the exercising apartment. This may seem like a rather large quantity of material to some, but a few handfuls do not make a litter by any means, and it is impossible to have too much litter on the floor. The fowlies like to hunt and scratch in this material, especially if it is replaced with fresh, quite frequently; and by scattering all their grain feed in it, little difficulty should be experienced in keeping the fowls exercising and busy during the winter." Farm Notes. The eggs from mature hens hatch the best chickens. If you have a good orchard and your buildings burn, you will rebuild.—Solon Chase. In no other of our farm industries are the returns so sure as those which the dairy offers. Choose your animals for the purpose you wish them, milk or butter, a wholesale or a retail market. It is through upgrading of our common stock that we can hope to enhance the value and usefulness of our herds. Turpentine is prescribed for cholera for chickens, both young and old. It may be put in the feed and water troughs. Never let pigs or any other animal shift for themselves while young, and think you can make up for such neglect at the end. Make the hens scratch in clean litter for every kernel they get. They need the exercise, they will not eat so fast and stuff full, then go and loaf. If you are troubled with hens eating eggs, place five or six artificial eggs in the nest. That will cure them. They get tired picking at them. Eating dusty hay is a prominent cause of a cough which may develop into heaves. Such a horse should be fed on cut hay dampened with water and mixed with the grain feed. Remember there will be no advancement, no upgrading, unless you have secured the best-bred, most propitant animal at the head of your that is obtainable. Improvement only comes through the superior qualities of the males used. Brood mares that have a few hours' run each day during the winter in an open paddock or yard will do better if not blanketed in stable than mares which wear blankets in the stable, but have their blankets removed when turned into the yard or paddock. The majority of the latter are liable to be more or less afflicted with a cough or catarral cold. -Beoston Cultivator. NEW USES FOR MICA. Electrical Industry Demands What Are Called Reconstructed Plates. The mining of mica has grown to be an important industry, especially since it has been found to be an insulator of great value in electrical apparatus; but little is popularly known of its sources. Some interesting information is given in an article on "The Uses of Mica," contributed to Cosmos (Paris) by Mr. Fourques. Mica has been used for centuries, he notes, but its uses have greatly multiplied in recent years. Once its only value was as a glazing for lanterns or as a decoration, but it is now applied in many new ways, due especially to the development of the electrical industries. The term "mica" embraces a group of complex silicates. Its most remarkable characteristic, common to all these varieties, is the case with which they split into thin, flexible and often transparent leaves. In thick plates it appears opaque with a black or colored reflection. This is due to the innumerable surfaces of cleavage from which the light is reflected successively, finally being entirely absorbed. Transparent sheets of pale color are often utilized for glazing, especially in stoyes and iramps, and such use absorbs about a third of the world's supply. The writer continues: "The most important use, however, is now as an insulator in electrical work. Mica is infusible or nearly so, impermeable to moisture, elastic, flexible and cleavable; these qualities are not possessed all together by any other known substance. It is thus employed for the insulation of the wires and bars of the armatures in dynamos, that is to say, between the conductors and the iron core. For this a very flexible mica is required—not white mica, but amber colored. Armatures with micrinsulated conductors are incombustible. "It serves also for the manufacture of the resonating diaphragms of telephones and phonographs. "In leaves in natural mica there are often holes, striae, or small included quartz crystals, which greatly limit its use. The inclusions, in particular, facilitate the establishment of short circuits. Thus the electrical industry has recourse to the use of plates of reconstructed mica. "To obtain these, sheets of paper as large as required are spread with gum lac, and powdered mica is sprinkled over them in as uniform a layer as possible. After drying, a second layer of gum is applied, then more mica, and so on, until the desired thickness is reached. The plate is subjected to a pressure of about 1900 pounds to the square inch and at the same time heated by steam. The product thus obtained is homogeneous, free from cracks, of uniform thickness, and does not absorb moisture if the heating has been properly done. It may be sawed, cut and pierced with ease. Finally, it is cheaper than natural mica. Consequently, it has taken the place of the latter for work of great size and even for that of ordinary size. "In small establishments the manufacture of this 'micanite' is carried on by hand; but on the large scale it is performed mechanically, so that one woman may make about seven cubic feet in a day, which would require the work of twenty women using their hands only. The manufacture of tubes, rings, etc., is carried on in a similar way. "Mica powder is used for the decoration of wall-paper, as in the production of snow effects; it is also largely employed in compositions that are non-conducting to heat. "Veins of mica are found in all countries, but the industrial market is supplied chiefly by India, Canada and the United States."—Translation made for The Literary Digest. Stuttering is Contagious. According to Dr. Guilzmann, whose report has been adopted and published by the German Government, involuntary mimicry plays a great part in stuttering. Like yawning, it is catching. The quicker a child is and the more imitative, the more apt it is to imbibe any defects of speech on the part of those by whom it is surrounded. Conclusive evidence of the contagious nature of stuttering is to be found in the fact that the number of stutterers in a school increases steadily as the children pass upward from class to class. In the public schools of Berlin, for example, the number of stutterers among the children in the lower class was over five per cent. of the total strength of the class. This proportion rose from year to year as the children passed upward in the educational scale until in the higher class the percentage was discovered to be .161, or more than three times the number found when the same children were in the lowest grade—Ledger. An Equine Patriarch. There has been recorded in England the phenomenal case of a horse living to be thirty-six years old. The Paris papers, however, report one in the French capital having reached the patrilarchal age of forty-three. The animal is a mare pony bred in Brittany, but passing the whole of her adult life in Paris. She has been twenty-six years in the possession of her last owner, who used the animal gently for running light objects about to theatres. He retired six years ago, and the old pony went with him into suburban superannuation quarters. And being a kindly man, he has made provision for the old horse to 'eake out a comfortable old age independent of his own life.—Newcastle Chronicle. A. Most Valuable Agent. The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierces' medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts, from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable, demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and -antiferrament. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queen's root, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery" in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung infections, for all of which these agents are recommended by standard medical authorities. In all cases, where there is a wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of consumption, there can be no doubt that glycerine acts as a valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Queen's root and Black Cherrybark in promiscuous ingestion and building up to a large amount of urine and bringing about a healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, it must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in its earlier stages. It will cure very severe obstinate hang-on coughs, bronchial wheeze, chest pain and throat with hoarseness. In acute coughs it is not so effective. It is in the lingering hang-on coughs, or those of long standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from lungs, that it has performed its most marvelous cures. Finish fillinging, M. D., of Bennett Med. College, Chicago, says of glycerine: "Indispensable it serves an excellent purpose. It hydrogen in solution. If it is one of the best manufactured products of the present time in action, especially if there is ulceration or catarral gastritis (catarral inflammation of Gastric Gland) it will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn) and excessive gastric (stomach acid). Golden Medical Discovery" enriches and purifies the blood curing blotches, plumps, eruptions, scrotulous swellings and old sores. Send to Dr. R. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.

The late Pope was once giving an audience, when his attendant, through some oversight, neglected to introduce, by name, a very stout lady who approached the throne. The Pope, however, took the situation for granted. "Vous etes une bonne mere de famille chretienne, n'est-ce-pas?" he asked gently. In a horrified whisper, an attendant intimated that the lady was unmarried. The Pope, with a smothered gasp, sat back in his chair, turned his face away and laughed. He composed himself, however, so quickly that the lady, whose knowledge of French was not particularly good, never realized his Holiness's faux pas—Bystander. ANYTHING BUT THAT. ANYTHING BUT THAT.

COFFEE THRESHED HER 15 Long Years. "For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little Ilis, woman, "while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physicians, but did not get much relief. "I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was down-hearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find something to help me. "Several years ago, while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Postum and thought I had never tasted anything more delicious. "From that time on I used Postum instead of Coffee and soon began to improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or more with ease, and do many other things that I never thought I would be able to do again in this world. "My appetite is good, I sleep well and find life is worth living, indeed. A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tasteless. "I explained to her the difference when it is made right—boiled according to directions. She was glad to know this because coffee did, not agree with her. Now her folks say they expect to use Postum the rest of their lives." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." THE PULPIT A SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. IRA W. HENDERSON THE FAMOUS DIVINE Brooklyn, N. Y. — Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Christ's Agony and Ours," the Rev. Ira Wemmell, Hon. pastor, took as his text Luke 13:24. "And ye would not." He said: The imitation of Jesus over the City of Jerusalem was occasioned by His clear vision of the depth of her need, of the completeness of her rejection of Himself and the revelation of and from the Father that He brought, and by His firm conviction that disdain for His Gospel meant death for herself. Feeling in His innest heart that His was the truth that could say the city of His people from its sin; knowing, as He did, that He was the long-heralded Messiah who should lead His countrymen into the liberty of that life within oblah wah within their selves and overcrowding as He temper the temper of the minds of the ecclesiastical and clerical leaders of the synagogues, Jesus was sick at heart over the spiritual doom that was sure to overtake His people. To Jesus sin was the most awful, the most terrifying, the most fearful thing in the world. For Him the word "sin" summed up, short and quick, all those agencies which were anti-Godly and which led men far from the Father. Sin meant destruction, disapproval in the eyes of God, and its wages were the seeds of death. The Gospel, on the other hand, held for Jesus the kernel and the conclusion of all those forces that should sait men he eternaer and the all-inclusive form of the King, their Guide. Being born again of God and entering into the freedom of the spiritual life divine, Jesus conceived these men. His brethren, as obtaining deliverance from eternal death. With this philosophy and this vision of the need and the issue—both of which Jesus had direct from God—is it any wonder that He wept over the City of Jerusalem? Sin is death. My Goscelin is the way of sure salvation—the only way—and the true guide unto life that is eternal. Thus reasons Jesus. These men are bound in and unto sin. How gladly would I teach to them those spiritual truths that should save them, but they will not. Sin is their choice, separation from the Father is their self-willed death. Do you wonder why the Savior suffered unto bitter agony and tears? His was the wide and comprehensive view of the world, its sin, its need, its salvation, its denial, its destruction. Any smaller or less comprohending insight would have been of none avail. A great, limitless, universal understanding of the situation as it was—and is—was the one means to stir the soul of the Christ to its depths. A weaker man with a smaller horizon would have become discouraged or disusted, big man, full of hate and grief, with the richness of God's love finding all his being as the only one who could be Jesus wept—not from disgust, or discouragement, but because His whole soul yearned to lead His dying brethren into life for evermore. The weight of their guilt, the certainty of their dying, the uselessness and the wickedness of it all came upon the soul of Christ with resistless force and wrung His heart in agony. And now, beloved, this lesson from the life of our Lord points a threefold duty for each of us. The acceptance by us of this triple obligation which the agony of the Master calls to our attention, will prove to the world about us that our Christ wept not in vain. And the duties three are these: First, we must be convicted of the awfulness of that sin whose logical outcome is death. Secondly, we must have an experimental and distinct knowledge that the only sure salvation from this death-dealing sin is through Jesus Christ. Thirdly, we must, with weeping hearts, go forth into the world as living evangelets to preach to all mankind salvation from this deathly sin through Jesus Christ our Lord. The awfulness of sin is a byword rather than a belief among men today. In our earnest and quite legitimate endeavor to publish the glory of the love of God for the sinner, we have lost to a great extent our consciousness and our former denunciation of the hideousness of sin. In our endeavor to escape from the unreasonable curse of a bodily hell we have, many of us, rushed to the other extreme—that is to say, no hell at all. In our earnest preaching of the love of God toward the sinner we have become, I fear, too lenient sin. My friends, the love of God is a reality. The punishment of the death of man brings no joy to the Father's heart. Jehovah wants every man to live within the light of His maintenance of love. To the end that we might have life and that more abundantly He sent His Son our Savior to reveal Himself to us. But sin is always hateful to God. His whole nature shrinks from it, as should our natures, as from a thing unclean. He can have no communion with it—nor should we. Its pleasures are dead fruit, its enjoyments are transient and a mockery, its wages is death. Human experience has proved this to be so, and the word of the living God sustains the charge. Sin is death. In strict union within God is life. Sin and God can have a commerce. Sin and God cannot have a commerce. The Father is, as it is, eclipsed, for with Him there is no evil, but only the fullness of eternal life. Sin is death. Death is the lack of life. The ruddy apple drops from the leaf, living bough and dies. The seeds of quick consumption strike the human heart and death ensues. In each case the element of destruction has entered. And as with the physical, so with the spiritual. Godiness is life. Life is union with the principle of life. The dainty apples and the sweet peppers building branch and soon we pluck the sound and luscious, wholesome fruit. The life that seems so near the brink of death's dark stream, the heart that weakly heats, the blood that hols at fever heat, all seize upon the remedies that cure, and health and healing vigor rush through the weakened frame. In each case the principle of life has been at work. As with the natural, so with the spiritual; Ab, yes, beloved, sin is bondage, death, disgrace, unreliable. Godliness is great gain and it will surely bring contentment. Sin is distance from God and there is no worse death or hell. Jesus leads us nearer Heaven, and within Him is the most life and the best. But sin is death and the sooner the world finds it out and we Christians really realize its awfulness the better for us and the world. This sin, however, is susceptible of defeat. Our lives may be treed from its power and made victorious above its strength. The means are not various, nor is the way hard. There is but one means and one true and happy way. That means and that way Jesus has revealed. Coming to Him for healing we may find easement for our souls. Trust in Him will gain release from evil. A whole life spent in His service will reap a rich reward. His is the only god that contains the truth entire. His is on salvation that our spirits need. His is the gift of forever unto all who hear believe and live for Him. Being certain that sin is death, we must preach to men the way to life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The trouble with much of our testimony is that we are a little shaky on our own foundations and that too much of our testimony is from the mouth out and is not welling up from hearts that have tasted of the joys of the Christ-blessed life. Too much of our knowledge of spiritual truths comes to us at second-hand and too little arises from the depths of personal experience. Our ideas must be cut clear as to what is the state and the future. We men who are continuing in the world and the Jesus is the need and the Savior of other men. He has been the need and the Savior of all of us. We must get that vision of the world which shall make us weep as did our Lord, which shall make us say with Paul, "Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel." Ah, yes, beloved, we must, with weening hearts go forth to lead men up to God. If sin is death and we possess and know the way to life everlasting, we must not, rest until we, too, have brought some brother home to safety. I say we must. I cannot say we may. Our orders read "go thou," not "won't you please go." Christ pleads with the sinner, but His word is law, and so it should be, to those who are His. Come with me into the busy street on any working-day, or to any gaudy concert-hall on sunny Sabbath days, and I will show you why you should ween and work. There they are! beheadless, unhearing, uncaring, bound more intent to make money or to while the hours away than to save their immortal souls. Young, and old, rich and poor, hardened slainers and youths who are just entering the road to death—each of them, all of them, caring little, and thinking less of the awfulness of their sin and the outcome of their shame. Good men who are wise in everything but their conceptions of their need of Christ. Pure men who will come to Jesus if so he some one will only put them to the test. Leaders in the church who profess the Christ, but who mislead Him, weary and slovenly host — and we can lift the crushing weight of sin. Look at them and consider. Is it any wonder now that Jesus wept? —Ah, beloved, we ought to weep —Ah, like Jesus because men are dying right before our eyes, within reach of our hands; weep —weep unlike Jesus because we are unworthy servants of our Master, because we are recrent to our duty and our trust. My friends, men who sin are doomed to death except Christ enters in the life and saves. To each of us the question of our God comes clear and strong to-day as it came to Isaiah the prophet in the year that King Uzzlah died, "Whom shall I send and who will go for us." Will you refuse the Father or will you say with Isaiah, "Here am I, send me." The Picty of Usefulness. Someone once said to Cromwell: "You, sire, know well the usefulness of plety!" "I know something better," Cromwell replied, "the plety of usefulness." The phrase works both ways. Plety is useful, and usefulness is a function or activity of plety. If it is meant that simply to be busy is to be religious, a subtle terror hurks in the remark of Cromwell. But if the meaning is that the plety demanded by the age is not a self-engrossed religiousness which dwells apart in reflective unconcern, but the practical kind of faith that is busy in the King's business, an important truth is thus brought to our notice. The Soul's Greatest Need Rest is the deepest want in the soul of man. All men do not desire pleasure; all men do not crave intellectual food; but all men long for rest. It is the need which sometimes makes the quiet of the grave an object of desire; desire rest at rest. And it is this which, consciously or unconsciously, is the real wish that lies at the bottom of all others. The Church's Duty. Part of the Church's duty is to press on to their duty Christians already won to Christ; to care for their spiritual development; but Christ is here to evangelize the world.—Archbishop of Canterbury.

PREPARATIONS are being made for the erection of a new building for the high school for whites. We will send up loud praises when such a thing happens for our children. The new theatre opened on Monday night, but despite its vaunted prettiness, on the inside, our people are still relegated to the gallery which is even higher than before. The accommodation, it is said, is better, but restricted to the gallery. It is dangerous to the health of our women to climb the dizzy flights to the gallery. Would any other race stand such restriction but the Negro? and yet, the giddy, thoughtless throng who attend the theatre are not compelled to go. Pride and self respect should be a sure deterent LAST week in Albany, Ga, a colored man named Pete Ziegler was caused to leave the town because he passed as a white man. He boarded with one of the best white families and went with some of the well known white ladies. He was detected by a visiting white lady who knew him in another city. He was very fair, well educated and polished. Despite it all he was a Negro. Sometimes ago a colored man who is very fair of skin while riding in the colored coach of a railway train, was compelled to go in the white coach by the conductor who said he was white. Race prejudice causes many inconsistent acts. The funeral reform wave has atruck Atlanta. The white ministers have adopted the following resolutions which are meeting hearty approval; "Resolved. That funeral sermons and orations be dispensed with. "2 That this association protest against the custom of conducting funeral services on the Lord's day, except in cases of necessity. "3 That when necessity require funerals on the Lord's day they shall not be held during church service hours. "4 That the custom of wearing mourning on the ground of health and expense be discouraged. "5. That the association disapprove the practice of ministers and pall-bearers re moving their hats at burials."

"Seven grades of clerks were established with salaries ranging from $600 to $1,200. City letter carriers were divided into five grades, with salaries ranging from $600 to $1,600, the $700 salaries being omitted. Railway mail clerks were divided into six grades below that of the chief clerk, salaries in each grade being increased $100 and ranging from $300 to $1,700. The maximum salary was fixed at $840 for rural carriers. "Two new provisions were added, one providing that the postmaster general may, in his discretion, allow a railway mail clerk thirty days' sick leave in any fiscal year with pay, his duties to be performed without expense to the government during the period for which he is granted leave, and the other that carriers who on June 30, 1907, are regularly employed at 8500 per annum shall be promoted to the fourth grade upon satisfactory evidence of their efficiency during the last one year's service." Under the Present Jim Crow Law, "Cut Out" Lincoln Park It has been rumored that Lincoln Park will be reopened shortly. This rumor has not been verified, but if it is true, and under the existing jim crow law on the street cars, every institution should boycott it, and not a member of the race should enter its gate. If this place is patronized, we would in a way sanction the present enforcement of the jim crow law and prove to the opposite race that we are void of the least pride, and we will be giving the street car company more power to further enforce this unnecessary law. It is in the power of the company to modify the present enforcement of the law, but the manager has ignored the suggestion for its modification. We would be less than men or women to have the company pat us on the back, make us swallow our pride and dump our nickels into its coffers. It is further rumored, that an out, of town preacher is going; the rounds among a certain class of our people and enticing them to continue patronizing the cars This preacher has not, the manhood, to come in the open and make his plea and those to whom he appeals should brand him with being less than a man. By all means stay away from Lincoln Park and keep off of the cars. The few "buzzards" who are riding are not accorded the treatment that they should have, especially on the Thunderbolt cars. White men in front of the jim crow seats take pleasure in puffing their smoke in the faces of the female riders, while the conductors look on with seemingly pleasure. A few Sundays ago a female attempted to alight from the cars on West Broad street, and before she did so the bell was rung and she fell head foremost The conductor did not stop to render her any assistance or note the extent of her injuries, but it served her right because she had no business on the cars. It may be inconvenient, but if it is necessary for us to have picnics, let us hire wagons and hacks and go to Cattle Park, Styles Park and other places, thereby preserving our pride and manhood. Any individual or institution attempting to give a picnic at Lincoln Park, or do anything to cause our people to patronize the street car company under the present restriction, should be frowned upon.. Keep away from Lincoln Park, and shun the cars. Walking is healthy, therefore keep on walking. If you have a long distance to go, start earlier, thereby increasing your health and your wealth. Our Exchanges on St. Phillips's Rally. The Dispatch has been informed that Dr. J. A. Lindsay, pastor of St. Phillips A. M. E. church, Sawanah, had a great rally last Sunday and succeeded in collecting $2,500. This is the largest amount we have ever heard raised by any colored church in the South in a single rally. St. Phillips church is determined to build a fine brick church on West Broad street and Dr. Lindsay who is greatly beloved by the people everywhere is demonstrating his ability as a spiritual and financial leader who will prove by his work that his worth is inestimable among the great leaders of the race and that no mistake was made when he was placed in charge of St. Philip's church.—Mason Dispatch. Dr. J A. Lindsay swept the country in his rally for the new church. He succeeded in raising the largest amount ever raised in the same state at any one time, by any one church.

Second—It is a purely local concern, operated and controlled by men who live here and who are largely interested in Savannah, Georgia and the South. Third—Every dollar of money invested in the Union Savings is kept in the 'South and used to upbuild Negro business, among our people. Fourth—The Union Savings will in the near future erect a handsome Negro Bank Building, where you can go and be treated as men and women; no "Jim Crow." Fifth—We shall look to the establishment of a large Department Store which will give employment to many of the men and women, boys and girls of our race. Sixth—We pay you a reasonable rate of interest on your money, and do not use all the profits to enrich a few. Seventh—Because in "Union there is strength" and we must unite for self help and self protection, and self elevation. Eighth—We shall assist our people in owning their own homes by buying and building for them upon reasonable terms. Stop renting and become a home owner.

This type of palm rejoices in the botanical name of Liviston Australis, but is commonly known as the cabbage palm, so called because the early Australian settlers used to eat the growing centre or heart of the trees as a vegetable. It is, really an excellent vegetable, with a peculiar The Home in I No Kansas home is by without a bathtub flowers on the dine Bible in the living-root whole family bathes it is apt to be unclean close kin to the devil is nothing on the table ```markdown ``` walnut-like flavor, but a tree must be destroyed to supply a single dish of the so-called "e cabbage." It is the most common of the Australian palms and the only one that extends from tropical Queensland down southward into Victoria. The average height is below eighty feet, but single individuals may occasionally attain a much greater height. The tree shown here originally grew in the bush, but became isolated by the cutting down of the surrounding trees.—Philadelphia Record. An average of 342 Hebrew immigrants arrive in New York City each day. A GIKE TURRIER "Whatever is the matter with Fido? Oh, isn't it horrid? I gave him to the Jaundress to wash and she's starched him."—From the London Telegraph. The Home in Kansas. No Kansas home is altogether happy without a bathtub, a bouquet of flowers on the dinner table and a Bible in the living-room. When the whole family bathes in a basin there is apt to be uncleanliness, which is close kin to the devil. When there is nothing on the table but bread and meat, no clean linen, no flowers, no shining silver, there are apt to be cross words or quarrels, and when there are Bibles only on the shelves in the dark corners of the library worldiness soon grips the occupants of any home. The average man who keeps clean inside and outside, who looks at the flower and not the dust, who reads the Bible and loves his wife and baby, is the best citizen. He is worth more to the community than the individual who had a mansion and a library and stocks and bonds, and inside the Satan of selfishness bigger than a woodchuck.—Chapman Advertiser. Improved Dustpan. In carrying the ordinary dustpan from one room to another some of the contents are sure to fall out. Dust being very light, the slightest wind picks it up and blows it off the pan. This cannot happen with the one shown here. Over half the surface of the pan is covered, which helps to prevent the dust escaping. As an additional aid, the inventor has added a handle, by which the dustpan can be carried anywhere without fear of los- Dust Cannot Escape. ing any of the contents. In gathering up the dust the pan is placed in the ordinary position. By swinging the handle over to the left and the pan raised the dust drops into the receptacle formed by the cover. In this way it is not affected by the wind. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Washing With Gasolene. If gasoline is used instead of kerosene in boiling clothes, there will never be a greasy scum on the water, as is sometimes the case with kerosene, and there is no odor left on the clothes. Of course the gasoline can must not be taken near the stove, but if the amount needed is carried to the boiler in a cup there is no danger. Add two-thirds of a bar of soap to two-thirds of a boiler of water, and when it nearly reaches the boiling point add three tablespoonfuls of gasoline and put the clothes in dry. After they have boiled 20 minutes they are ready to be rubbed slightly, blued and starched. The Housekeeper. Bolling Vegetables. A housekeeper gives these hints for boiling vegetables: At this time of year let them lie in cold water for an hour or so before cooking, then put them into boiling salted water. Parsnips will boil tender in from 20 to 30 minutes, spinach in 20 minutes; turnips need from 45 minutes to an hour. Do not break the skin of beets before they are cooked or they will lose their red juice. Boil them an hour or two until they are thoroughly tender. Then plunge them into cold water and slip off their skins. Many persons like onions and cabbage better if they are boiled in two or three waters. This takes away some of their rank flavor. Laundry Suggestions. Home washing on such matters as collars and shirts is, of course, usually out of the question; but if small quantities of the formulae we are about to give be prepared and presented to the queen of the washtub, she will first temperize, then try, and ultimately pray you to teach her how it is done, and this is the modus operandi: Make an ounce of starch into a thick, smooth paste. Add to this a pint of boiling water, in which has been dissolved a tablespoonful of white sugar and a tablespoonful of salt. Drop into this mass three drachms of paraffine wax and boil the whole for half an hour, stirring well to prevent burning. This must be strained and used while hot. Blue may be added if desired. Another excellent preparation, and of a simple nature, is made by taking one ounce of powdered gum arabic (procurable from any chemist), mix it with a pint of water and let it stand for twelve hours, then decant it, carefully straining it free of dregs, and use it as required. A teaspoonful of the solution in a pint of starch made in the usual way, will give a very excellent gloss to shirt fronts and collars—The Cultivator. An English scientist attributes the wide prevalence of appendicitis to the use of enameled cooking utensils. He points out that when the old-fashioned cooking utensils were in vogue appendicitis was practically unknown. "The present age uses increasingly enameled ware, which splinters on the least provocation. "I find that not only a food such as porridge will carry the needle-like splinters to the body, but that a soup, and even tea, may very well contain sharply splintered particles of this most dangerous glass." Many physicians and surgeons have advanced the theory known as the mechanical theory, that the cause of appendicitis may be the introduction through the food of some sharp, irritating substance, causing inflammation and ulceration. They designate tooth brush bristles, wheat grit, particles of antimonal rubber stoppers, as common irritants. None of these are of such irritating quality as spicules of enamel, which might be swallowed with the sauces or vegetables cooked in the enameled ware vessels. Accordingly among medical men and some housekeepers there is a crusade having for its object the return to the old copper or iron kettle. Recipes. Celery Toast.—Cut the crisp from the heart of a stalk of celery into portions of about two inches long, shred very fine, and lay in ice-cold water for two hours. Butter squashes of toast, cover with the shredded celery, and pour over it whipped cream seasoned with salt and a little cayenne. Garnish with parsley. Roast Goose.—A goose should be roasted longer and basted oftener other poultry. Twenty-five minutes to the pound is none too long. For the stuffing mix bread crumbs and pulverized chestnuts, seasoned with salt and pepper. A green goose is one under four months old, and these are decidedly preferable to the older fowls. Gooseberry sauce is an appropriate accompaniment. Apple sauce is also orthodox. Orange Fritters. Divide some oranges, leaving three or four sections together, sprinkle them with powdered sugar, and leave them for about half an hour before they are required. Then dip the pieces into a thick batter and fry them in a bath of boiling fat. Place the fritters on paper in front of a brisk fire, as they are taken from the pan, and when all are ready, pile them up on a hot dish covered with a dolly and scatter a little white sugar over them.

Jig Dancing Keeps Him Young. If you wish to become a nonagenarian then dance a little every morning just before breakfast. This tonic is advanced by Alter Silberman, ninety-one years old, an inmate of the Home of the Daughters of Jacob, situated on lower East Broadway. Silbermann for years has been dancing from ten to fifteen minutes every morning before breakfast. He declares that dancing is the greatest exercise in the world. "Dancing puts more ambition into a man and makes him more cheerful and happier," said the white-bearded patriarch yesterday, after he danced the "Kotzatski," which is a famous Russian dance. Silberman came to this country years ago. He was wealthy at one time, but lost his fortune in speculation. He has been at the Home of the Daughters of Jacob for years. "My advice to the younger generation is that they should dance every morning before breakfast and also just before retiring," he said.—New York American. STRIKING AN AVERAGE.

The plans—which bid fair speedly to be executed—for an automobile speedway on Long Island have been followed with further proposals for automobile highways from New York to Lenox, from New York to Tuxedo and elsewhere. These latter would not be speedways for racing, but true highways for travel and pleasure driving. They would, however, be exclusively for the use of automobiles, and on them doubtless a much higher rate of speed would be permissible than on the common roads. The metalling would be done with a direct and sole view to the use and wear of motor car wheels, and we assume there would be, so far as possible, an avoidance of grade crossings. In brief, the automobile roads would be differentiated and separated from ordinary roads somewhat as railroads have long been. In this proposal there is much which is engaging and which appeals to the practical as well as the imaginative sense. That ingenious socialist, Mr. G. H. Wells, in one of his books a few years ago, forecast the construction of just such roads, numerously radiating from every large city and connecting all important centres of population, as a means of solving at once the two problems of residence and transportation in and about cities. It may be that we shall one day come to that. There can be little doubt that a broad highway on which private motor cars and public motor coaches or omnibuses could be run at high speed, extending from New York through the villages along the Hudson, or up the Bronx Valley, or along the Sound, or through the Oranges, would be largely used. The present scheme does not, however, go as far as that, but contemplates merely the construction of a few "trunk line" motor roads through those regions where automobile travel is heaviest. There is constantly much travel of that sort from New York to Tuxedo, to Lenox, to Bernardsville, to Lakewood, to Morristown, to Greenwich and to other places from thirty to a hundred miles away. It is a hardship to require such travelers to confine themselves to a rate of only ten or twelve miles an hour, and yet for much and, indeed, most of the way the roads run through regions where a high rate of speed on a common road is unsafe. And the steady growth of population and of other uses of the roads makes it increasingly dangerous to run fast. It may well be argued, then, that with the extensive adoption of a new kind of vehicular traffic a new kind or system of roads should be created for it, just as was done at the introduction of railroads. There is need of this for the sake of the automobiles themselves, in order that they may travel rapidly and enjoy to the full the advantages of the marvellous machines which they drive, and for the sake of the general public, so that they may enjoy in safety their ordinary use of the common roads. We may add that there is need of it for the sake of the automobiles and of the roads, for the former are not always run to the best advantage on roads which may be quite suitable for horses, while roads which are admirable for horses and horse vehicles are often ruined by the ponderous traffic of motor cars. There are, of course, the questions of room and expense. In many places there is ample room for new roads, and, indeed, much need of them for the relief of the present overcrowded highways. Elsewhere motor roads might be provided by widening existing roads and giving half of them to the motors—just as some of our parkways now have one road for pleasure vehicles, one for horseback riding and a third for business traffic. As for the cost, it would doubtless be objected that roads for the exclusive use of one class of vehicles should not be made and maintained at the expense of the whole public. We are not sure that that would be valid, however, since our parks and speedways seem to furnish precedents for such construction of special roads, and people who own and use no horses are now taxed for the making and maintenance of roads on which horses are driven. These roads would not be essentially exclusive, but would be open and free to anybody, with an automobile. Perhaps this point might be compromised through a reasonable automobile tax, to be applied to these roads. It is generally recognized that the continuous wear and tear of automobiles on common roads make it fitting that they should be specially taxed for road malignance, as is now done in England. If special roads were built for automobiles, and those vehicles were thus to a large extent removed from the common roads, it would be fitting to apply that tax to those special roads. There are other features of the case which require consideration, but on the face of it the proposal is interesting and promising. New York Tribune.

CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sores From Eczema—Boy-Tortured by Poison Oak —Both Cured by Cuticura. "Least year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent, in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor.

Rings Round Eyes One of the Important Duties of Physicians and the Well-Informed of the World is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufacturers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufacture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore, known by the name—Syrup of Figs—which has given satisfaction to millions.

Parsons, an old-time Yukon miner, just returned from the frozen North, told some remarkable stories of happenings at Dawson City, when the thermometer drops many degrees below zero. He said. "Strange manifestations appear as a result of the extreme cold. A fire in the stove fears and crackles like a great forge, and wood seems to dissolve in the flames like a chunk of ice; the wood is gone and you wonder what became of the heat. At sixty below zero every storepele throws out a great white cloud of smoke and vapor, which streams away for fifty or 100 feet, mingling with the other white-gray mist or haze that remains permanent in the atmosphere, like fog, whenever such a low temperature is reached. This white-gray fog is not the fog Easterners know, but a frozen mist; every man, woman, child, animal, and even the fire that burns, is throwing out moisture into the air which is immediately turned into a vapor, which remains visibly suspended in the air. "Prospectors in attempting to boil a dish of rice or beans upon a camp fire unprotected from the weather find that the side of the dish which is in the fire will boil while that part exposed to the weather will freeze. Edged tools subjected to this temperature become as hard and as brittle as glass and break as readily under strain. I have seen a safety valve blowing on steam, with the temperature sixty below zero, with fcicles hanging to the valve, having formed from condensation. These fcicles did not melt in the outrushing steam, but remained there for many days." Mr. Parsons told of some instances when a frozen foot, ear or hand had been thawed by immersion in coal oil for some time — often for several hours. He said: "This is absolutely a safe remedy and one thus escapes the surgeon's knife, as no bad results follow. This is not hearsay, for a man from our camp was found after he had been out all night with the thermometer fifty degrees below zero, and both his hands were frozen to the wrists. He was taken into camp and his hands soaked in coal oil for five hours. All the frost came out and not even a finger tip was lost. The doctors were amazed, as they thought amputation would have to be resorted to. His hands were as white as marble, and when placed in the oil they snapped and crackled as the oil began to act upon the ice crystals." The temperature of the oil should be about the same as that of the living room. Great caution must be exercised during the extremely cold weather not to freeze the lungs, which one will quickly do if he hurries about. Quick and fatal pneumonia can be contracted in a few moments. Many a fine team of horses has been lost in this way up in the Yukon. One must be careful about touching metals with unprotected hands. It is dangerous to take hold of a door knob when it is sixty below, or thereabouts, with the unprotected' hands, unless you are careful to release your hand instantly, for if you do not it will freeze your inner palm in five seconds, the result being much the same as from touching a redhot stove. Canned goods undergo great contraction during extreme cold, and take in air; in summer, with a temperature ninety degrees above zero, the reverse condition prevails, causing leakage and loss.—R. F. R., Winnipeg Correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Interlocutor—"Mr. Bones, how are you to-night?" Bones—"Pretty well, thank you. Here's a little conundrum for you: When is a theatre like a dangerous rock in the ocean?" "I give it up." "When it has a light house. What do you think of that?" "It's a bum joke." "Well, it ought to be." "Why?" "I got it from a tramp. Had a tip on the races yesterday. A friend told me to play a horse called Mosquillo Bite." "Did you win?" "Didn't play him. He was scratched. Do you know my fat brother Bill?" "You mean the one who weighs 300 pounds. Yes, I know him." "A mouse ran up Bill's leg yesterday." "Did it make him mad?" "No, but his wife did. She said it would be an expensive trip for the mouse. Bill asked her why." "Yes?" "And she said the mouse had run up a big Bill." Interlocutor—"Mr. Tambo, what did you give your wife for Christmas?" Tambo—"I bought her some gaiters, but she wouldn't keep them." "Wouldn't keep them—why not?" "She said we had enough spats in the family as it was." "My wife has the brightest dog I ever saw, Mr. Tambo." "Yes, he even goes with her and helps her shop." "That's nothing. I've seen queerer shoppers than that dog." "Is that a fact?" "Yes; while walking down the street to-day I saw a shoe shop"—Denver Post. It is estimated in London that over $200,000,000 of American money had gone to titled foreigners through their marriage with rich American girls.

Editor of The Savannah Tribune Please allow me space in your widespread journal to say a few words to the Royal Arch Masons of Georgia. At the fourth annual convocation of the Holy Grand Royal Arch Chapter the following act was adopted: Whereas, The bureau of endowment would add strength and vigor to the craft and instill new life in each companion. Comp. Z C. Solomon motioned that the Grand High Priest appoint a committee to formulate plans by which to get the bureau of endowment in operation. In obedience to the call of the Grand High Priest the Grand Council met with the committee in King David's Tabernacle on Cotton avenue, Macon, Ga., February 22nd. The meeting was an interesting one, and each companion was made to rejoice after hearing the report of the committee. The committee was commended for making such a report. Comp. C. M. Moon, Grand King, motioned to receive the report by adding such things as would be necessary. Resolved Further, That warranted Chapters that fall to send in 25 cents for every companion on their roster for Grand Chapter tax, as requested, before the sitting of the next annual convocation, their warrants will be of no force, and will be arrested by the Grand High Priest, or a deputy appointed by him. There was a special tax of 25 cents levied on each companion in good standing. The same must be collected and sent to the office of the Grand High Priest at once. All secretaries and High Priests of Subordinate chapters are requested to give this their special attention. As the Arch Craft must go on to success, all chapters that fail to make their report in 1906 are requested to send in their Grand Chapter tax to the office of the Grand Secretary at once. His address is Ashburn, Ga., Box 5. The Grand High Priest appointed the following officers for the bureau of endowment: YOUR CHANCE. Many stand back and say, "I can never get a chance."

Some White Men's Attitude Towards the Race Clearly Defined. George S. Haines, Esq., Late Foreman Chatham County Grand Jury, Savannah, Ga. Mr. Foreman: The country people have read with great pleasure certain extracts from the general presentment of the grand jury of Chatham county. These extracts are, so full of suggestion that there is a widespread desire to have the entire presentment put in permanent form, so that posterity may receive the incalculable benefits flowing from the novel recommendations contained therein. How original are the "three great questions," "the problem of the Negro; the reformation of criminal procedure, and the establishment of a juvenile court!" Why is it if "we have borne with the idleness and shiftlessness of the Negro for upward of a generation," you do not recommend striking from the penal code of Georgia the section which makes it a misdemeanor to solicit or procure emigrants? Did not the inspired source from which your presentment flowed know that for twenty years, it has been a criminal offense for an emigrant agent without payment of $500 license to solicit a Negro to become an emigrant? Did the inspired source not know that the feeling of the people of the country against an emigrant agent is intense and has resulted, in more than one instance, in violence? Why is it that the public policy of the state retains, by most drastic legislation, the Negro, if he is so shifl-less and worthless? Does your inspired source suppose that the Negro problem is solved by this idle and uncalled for denunciation of race? Committee: REV. J. A. BROCKETT, HON. J. H. DEVEAUX, HON. W. D. CRUM, Charleston. REV. W. W. BECKETT, Charleston. DR. J. WALTER WILLIAMS, DR. J. H. BUGG, PROF. D. C. SUGGS, PROF. R. W. GADSDEN, MR. L. S. REED, MR. F. M. BELL, MR. J. W. MILLEN, MR. I. S. ELMORE. If as you say "the only friend he (the Negro) has ever had is the Southern white man," does not your inspired source realize that it is a very poor way of showing friendship, to formally present the race as "retrograding day by day," that the suffrage amendment was an "unparalleled crime," that "we have borne with the shortcomings of the Negro for upward of forty years," that the South "has fed, clothed him," that he lacks "moral appreciation of his contracted obligations," that he has an "incredible solicitude for the criminals of his race," that "the white man now pays the wages and the white woman does the work?" Is it true that the race is retrograding? Was the Negro responsible for his franchise? What were the shortcomings of the Negro for upward of forty years? Has not the Negro contributed by his crude labor to feed and clothe not only himself, but his employer? We are under no obligation to feed and clothe the Negro, and when we so it is because it pays to do it. Is it not true that by means of the ignorance of the Negro advantage is often taken of him, in making and executing contracts? Is not that the penalty which ignorance must always pay to cupidity? Is it not natural that he should show a solicitude for the criminals of his race? Do you not know that it takes less evidence to convict a Negro than it does to convict a white man? Do you not think a simple statement of fact would have been more appropriate than such twaddle as is contained in this phrase: "With cheerful indiscrimination to the seductions of witches and the recalcitrancy of barnyard roosters?" Where did you get this presentment? You did not write it? Who wrote it? Who is responsible for the "syllogistic processes" referred to in this presentment? Can you define a "syllogistic process?" Can any twelve of the grand jurors making this presentment give an intelligent idea of what they mean by this phrase? When, by a "syllogistic process," you have informed the public as to the inspired source from which, through you as a conduit, the streams of rhetoric flowed, we may take the liberty of making further inquiry as to the proposed changes in criminal laws and the organization of a juvenile court—Effingham, in Meldrim Guidon. FARMER KILLS FOUR PEOPLE. Under Bond for Criminal Assault, He Runs Amucks With Gun. Thomas Baldwin, a rich farmer and former merchant, of Colliax, Ill. Thursday shot and killed Charles Kennedy and wife and Mrs. Sim Elsman and daughter. Cora. Baldwin was arrested. Baldwin, who is 68 years of age and a widower, is under bond charged with criminal assault on Cora Elsman, who was but 14 years of age. He had settled with the girl's father for a sum of money, but was subsequently arrested, and blamed the Kennedys and Mrs. Elsman for the prosecution. CURBS THE THEATRICAL TRUST.

OW, many a girl is taught dissatisfaction from the moment she marries—not an ennobling spirit, but the contrary. She starts life from a false point of view. Marriage and the "happy, ever after" give way to prospective pity. She is pitied for everything; pitied because "a woman has so much to go through;" pitied for having a house to look after whea she has a baby too, and for having the sewing on her hands, and for being "tied down," pitied because "her husband doesn't realize all she goes through"—though, goodness doesn't realize all she knows, it isn't because she doesn't tell she wants to. She is pitied because she and piled for every ache and pain and the limitation were in itself an end of life. It is fleeting and changeable—as if everyone joy or some gain or some privilege that makes this mistaken pity blight accentuates unduly where it cannot all world, the married girl, has to keep up and the pains and aches just the same; from her.—Harper's Bazar. knows, it isn't because she doesn't tell him, and it's her right to tell him if she wants to. She is pitied because she can't go to parties and make balls, and pilied for every ache and pain and limitation, as if that ache or pain or limitation were in itself an end of life, not something that in its very nature is fleeting and changeable—as if each cause for pity had not its root in some joy or some gain or some privilege. Sympathy helps, but the thing that makes this mistaken pity blight instead of restore is the fact that it accentuates unduly where it cannot alleviate. In spite of the pity of her world, the married girl has to keep up with the work and the responsibility and the pains and aches just the same: they are hers, no one can take them from her.—Harper's: Bazar. 222 W.
