On the other band, union officials claim there was an enthusidstic response to the strike order. At a conference held in Chicago Fri day night between President S.J.

In aacressing his follow citizens of Ohfo and the repub- lUcans-of. the whole country, he made it plain that he was heart’ and soul with the president in his support of the measures which have come to be known as the “Roosevelt policies.” While insisting that these measures had already been productive of much good to the country, he.pointed out how existing statutes could be amend- ed in order to further perfect them and, make them more effective.” Following is an outline of Tatt’s views as set forth in his address: I think the imprisonment of-one oF two managers of unlawful trusts would have a most healthy effect throughout-the country. The states can best remedy the dan- gers ‘of too great acctimulation of wealth in one hand by controlling the descént and devolution of property, and they ought to do so. fa times of great national need, an Income tax would be of: great assist- ance in furnish{ug means to carry on the government. ‘The evil of eliminating competition ought to be restrained by making St unlawful for an interstate railway to acquire stock in a competing line. An interstate road should not be per- mitted to-issue stock or bonds . . , except after a certificate by the com- mission that the securities are tgsued swith the approval of the commission “tor a legitimate railroad purpose. . Bffictent regulation is the very anti- ' dote and preventative of socialism and government ownership. ‘The time is near at hand for an amendment to the antitrust law. . making clear the distinction between lawful agreements reasonably restrain- ing trade and those which are pernl- clous in their effect. 7 Appeals to judicial remedies (by rall- réads) should be limited in such a way that partles will not use them merely to delay and go clog efficient and just executive or legislative action. Tarim revision ts to be by the re- publican party and fs ot to be a de- parture from the protective principle, but in conformity to it.

There was also pending a Petition for reductions in interstate rajes, which was of vastly, more Im- -portance to all cltles and sections ‘of the state than the question of rates between Atlanta and the ports alone. The” mora important petition was ta- ken up first and resulted in the agree- ment secured in February, 1905, which was followed by the aunounctment of the reductions made Jn May following, “Then the port rate question was taken up, and Governor Smith, then as au attorney, appeared before the board and strongly urged that it be granted. Decisions of the United States supreme court, so far as I could read them, put {t out of the power of the board to grant the reductions asked in this petition; hence I, with another member of the board, felt that we had to deny it, “A few weeks after that time, Bir. Smith made public speeches, In which he announced that, if elected govern- or, he would suspend me, “After' we reduced’ freight rates, I Noticed that the prices of everything ‘on which rates were reduced had ad- vanced. I got from the United States bureal of labor office figures showing the prices before the rates were re+ duced, and also the prices in Decem- ber, 1906, and I showed In a pamphlet which I isued that this reduction of $2,000,000 in the freight rates lad deen all absorbed by manufacturers and jobbers, and that farmers and the other laboring pecple of Georgia not only received no share of the reduc- tion in rates which had been promised them, but that Governor Smith’s for mer clients and other manufacturers and jobbers throughout the state were absorbing the reductions and then rails ing the ‘prices until they were higher than before the rates were reduced. 1 naturally assume that Governor Smith's feéling of loyalty to bis for- mer clients, the manufacturers and the jobbers, has caused him to take the action toward me wihch has just been made’ public.” Asked as to whether he would take aly steps to contest the action of the governor in ordering his suspension, Mr. Brown replied: “Being an official of the state, ap- pointed by the proper power and cloth. ed with certain duties of momentons Interest to the Scople of Georgia, I deem tbat I would be recreant to my duty If I congented to the proposed subversion of thelr rights equally with my own. In brief, the question for the peopte to determine, is whether the prejudice or whim of the govern- jor shall, or shall not, supplant thé constitution and the statute laws of | the state.” . / Commissioner Brown stated that he ‘would be at his office in the capitol, as usual, and as to his future conduct would be guided by whatever his coun sel advised, a Western Union Will Hold No Confer- ence with Strike Chief Small.

Joseph 3. Brown, one of Georgia's railroad commissioners, was suspended from office Wednesday, morning by Governor Smith. ~ Hon. S. Guyton McLendon of Thom- asville, elected last fall to succeed Commissioner Brown at the expiration of his term, Octobgr 15, was immedi- ately appointed to’ succeed the sus- pended official. Commissioner Brown ‘was immedi- ately served with copies of the order fn his office. Hé took the. matter very, quietly. . Mr, McLendon drove to the capitol ‘about 11:30 o'clock Wednesday mérn- ing and was-sworn in by Governor Smith. ‘This action placed him {n au- thority in less than two hours efter his appointment. The section of the code under’ which the governor predicated his action tn suspending Commissioner Brown is as follows: x “Any commissioner may be sus pended from office by order of the governor who shall report the fact of such suspension and the reason therefor to the next generel assembly, and if a majority of each brapch of the general assembly declare that sald commissioner shail be removed from office, his term of office shall expire. ‘The governor shall have the same power to fill yacancles In the office of commisstoner ag to fill other vacan- cles, and if for any reason said com- missioners are not appointed during the present session of the general az- sembly,, the governor sball appoint them thereafter and report to thenext sezate, but the time until then shall not be counted-as,.part of the term of office of sald commisstouers, re- spectively, as herein provided.” “There are varlous surmises as to the causes leading up to Governor Smith's action. In bis campaign and since hls election the governor stated repeatedly that It wes bis purpose to have a commission in conformity with his views, and that if any commis- stoner failed to do his duty Ke would suspend him from office. Several contributory causes are be- Ueved to have actuated the chlef ex- ecttlve. Commissioner Brown has given out various Iterviews recently to show that freight reduction means nothing to the consumer, but that, it simply puts the money In the hands of the manufacturer and the whole saler. * He also dissented from the majority opinion of the commission in the pas- senger rate reduction, effective Sep- tember 2. He adhered to the zone sys- tem, and when the majority opinion was filed, put on record a dissent that agreed only in part with the tinding of the other two members, It Is believed that Governor Smith felt that Commis. sioner Brown was in the main opposed to the reforms desired by him, and !a- dorsed by the masses at the pelts. Under’ the act authorizing the re- moval of @ commissioner, it will be noted that the governor is required to specifically set forth his reason to the general assembly. This canost be done now until the next session, Com. missioner Brown's term would have expired on October 15th next, - Commissioner Joseph M. Brown was elected a member of the raltroad com- mission on August 15, 1904. He came to the office with twenty years of ratk road experience back of him fn tha service of the Western and- Atlantic, both when the property was operated by the state and after It passed under the control of the Louisville and Nash- ville, As a rate expert, he ranks high, meny considering him one of thé best rate experts In the country, "He has been a deep studeat of tariffs, traffic ‘and all matters apparetalning to the business. x While a student in Harvard, 3ir, Brown's eyesight failed, and for a long while it was feared he would be to- tally blind.

All these things the judge tells the jury they not only have a right to apply, but it Is their duty to apaly them, He says all the power of the flag and the nation 1s belind them to en- force the orders of tlie court, and that officers of the state will not be al- lowed In any sense to defy the trib- unal.

Freezing cold at Yellowstone, 96 in the shade at Palestine, was the weather report handed out Tuesday. Despite the fact that the telegraphers' strike caused many of the cities on the official weather map to be marked "missing," there were enough cities heard from to provide for every sort of weather. Out west the weather is already freezing cold, while in Tex as the hot weather is just beginning Second Bale Received In Savannah One Day Following the First. The first bale of sea island cotton arrived in Savannah Monday from Gainesville, Fla., but the second followed hard upon its arrival, getting in Tuesday from Alabama. It was presented to Columbia college at Lake City, Fla., for the benefit of which it was sold. The bale brought a good price in front of the Savannah cotton exchange. WALTER S.

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. Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man.

The Pigeons, hanging up to eat And Rabbitts, by their little feet But no one seemed to care. N THE COILS OF A BOA-CONSTRUCTOR Early in the year 1900 I was stationed in the south of Negros Island, in the Philippine group, at the little "pueblo" (village) of Bayanan. Here I acted in the capacity of sanitary inspector of the La'Carlota Sub-District of Negros. The territory included in my district was many miles in extent, but owing to the fact that the greater portion was wild, and inhabited onl, by roving tribes of Visayans, whose haunts lay far in the unexplored interior, my work was confined to the small settlements located within a radius of forty miles, many of these being extremely difficult of access on account of the dense tropical growth and the unsettled condition of the country. As I sat in my office one pleasant morning, contentedly smoking a cigar and contemplating with pleasure a short trip I had planned for the afternoon, a sharp rap on the door brought me back abruptly from my reverie. At my invitation a native entered, bearing a letter, which he deposited upon the desk and withdrew. A glance at the address showed me that it was from the Chief Inspector of the Department. The contents, which I rapidly glanced over, directed me to proceed without delay to a little "barria" called La Paz, situated some thirty miles inland, to investigate a reported epidemic of smallpox raging in that vitainly among the natives. Realizing the gravity of the situation, should the report be true, I decided to start at once. I had never visited the place before, and was not sure of the exact distance or the difficulties liable to be met with en route; for these reasons I was desirous of having plenty of daylight to travel by. Hastily collecting the necessary equipment, together with my revolvers and ammunition, I crammed the things into my saddlebags and stepped out just as the horses were brought up—one, for myself, the other for my old servant Juan, who was to act as guide and interpreter. Our route for several miles lay along a well-beaten trail, which would have been pleasant enough for ordinary travel had it not been for the fierce heat of the sun. Soon, however, we reached the Rlo del Sangre, the bamboos along the banks of which afforded a delicious shade, though the river-bed-was practically dry. My guide now informed me that by following the channel we could shorten the distance by several miles, and I therefore turned my horse upstream, glad enough to keep in the shade. As we advanced toward the interior the scenery became more wild and picturesque, the vegetation rank and luxuriant, the trees meeting in many places and forming a series of leafy tunnels. The only sound was the dull thud, thud, of our horses' hoofs, hardly audible in the soft river-bed, with an occasional shrill cry from a monkey who had discovered us from his leafy bower, or the lazy flutter of a gaily-plumed parrot as it changed its position. Advancing in single file, owing to the narrowness of the river-bed and the many obstructions that were constantly being met with in the form of roots and fallen tree-trunks, I was soon some distance ahead, and, entering a space comparatively clear of obstructions, I spurred my mount into a gallop, as the sun was rapidly sinking towards the horizon and I was anxious to reach my destination before dark. Rounding a sharp bend, my horse, with a wild snort, plunged heavily, wheeling sharply to the right. Being unprepared for such a manaeuvre, I was hurled headlong from the saddle, striking upon my head and shoulder in the soft, muddy river-bed. My face was smeared with the filthy, ill-smelling muck, my neck felt as though it was broken, my brain was in a dizzy whirl, and my eyes were blinded with the odorous mud. For a moment I did not attempt to move. Although I was aware of a curious movement beneath me, I supposed I had been thrown upon some roots, which were slowly giving way beneath my weight. Suddenly my attention was attracted by a strange blissing noise which sounded quite close to me, and which, in my dazed condition, I was at a loss to account for. Meanwhile, the movement beneath me increased rather than diminished. This was certainly unnatural, and I rolled over with the intention of reaching firmer ground, but found that my right leg was entangled in something. At my first.movement, the mysterqlus hisling increased until it sounded like escaping steam, and the movement beneath me became so violent as to partially raise my body from the river-bed. Dashing the mud from my eyes as best I could, I threw out my hands for some available support. My right grasped mud, but the left caught hold of a cold, slimy, wriggling body. And, then the truth of my situation dawned upon me, literally freezing my blood with horror, while the most sickening sensation I have ever experienced passed over me. I lay in the folds of a great boa-constrictor! Had I been in the best of physical condition, 'unarmed I should have been no match for this great reptile, and situated as I was—practically in a semi-conscious state—I must surely fall an easy victim. The thought of my position made me frenzled. I attempted to regain my feet, but now my left leg was pinioned with my right, and, struggle as I would, I could not free thigh. in frantic rage I clutched the silmy colls, to fling them from me; but only to be dashed down with stunning force. Again and again I tried to wrench myself free, but all in vain. With clenched fists I beat the great body, and endeavored to tear the creature to pieces with my nails, but the thick scales were as proof against my attack as armour-plate. Meanwhile we rolled over and over in the riverbed, as with strength born of desperation I fought the loathsome monster, which was slowly crushing the life out of me. The thought of my pistol fashed through my mind, and I felt for my holster, but it was empty; I had placed the weapon in my saddle-bags. Frantically I endeavored to tear from my body the evertightening folds, but, struggle as I would, it was of no avail. I was fast becoming exhausted, a dizziness selzed me, and the trees and shrubs seemed to be tumbling and whirling about in wild conclusion. Suddenly my strength seemed to desert me altogether, and I ceased to struggle, while just above my face, swaying now to the right, now to the left, was the snake's head, like a pendulum of death, whose every stroke was bringing me hearer to destruction. Strange thoughts flitted across my mind; incidents of boyhood life long since forgotten were brought vividly to memory, and I seemed to stand again in the old homestead with my friends about me, though all were strangely silent. As I watched, the scene began to melt away like a mist. A blinding flash, accompanied by a deafening report; the rush of a dark body over me; then all was darkness. When next I opened my eyes my native guide was rapidly unwinding the now lifeless serpent from my body, while on the ground beside me lay a blood-stained dagger and a pistol, still smoking. Having freed me from the reptile, Juan brought water and proceeded to remove the worst of the filth from my person. The cold water also served to revive me, but I lay helplessly upon the soft grass while my guide recaptured my horse. This done, Juan assisted me into the saddle and supported me until a settlement was reached, where I remained at the house of a friendly native until I had recovered somewhat from the effects of encounter. My nerves, however, remained in a wretched state for months; my dreams were haunted by great dragons and hydraheaded monsters, who chased me over river and jungle. Just as they were on the point of crushing me to death I would awake with a wild yell, bathed in cold perspiration and trembling in every limb, but by degrees this wore off until I became my natural self. Juan, good fellow that he was, secured and preserved for me the skin of the reptile which so nearly made an end of me. It measured fourteen and a half feet in length and eleven inches in circumference. In due season I had it mounted as a little souvenir of my sojourn in the Philippine Islands, and with the revolver and dagger which put an end to its career.—The Wide World Magazine. Tests For Boiler Water. Will you please print some simple tests for boiler water?—E. G. A. Answer.—Test for hard or soft water: Dissolve a small piece of good soap in alcohol. Let a few drops of the solution fall into a glass of the water. If it turns milky, it is hard water; if it turns clear, it is soft water. Test for earthy matters or alkali: Take litmus-paper dipped in vinegar, and, if on immersion the paper returns to its true shade, the water does not contain earthy matter or alkali. If a few drops of syrup be added to a water containing any earthy matter, it will turn green. Test for carbonic acid: Take equal parts of water and clear lime water. If combined or free carbonic acid is present, a precipitate is seen, and if a few drops of murtatic acid be added, effervescence commences. Test of magnesia: Boll the water to twentifth part of its weight, and then drop a few grains of neutral carbonate of ammonia into a glass of it and a few drops of phosphate of soda. If magnesia is present, it will fall to the bottom. Test for kon: Boll a little nut-gall and add to the water. If it turns gray or slate-black, iron is present. Second: Dissolve a little prussiate of potash, and, if iron is present, it will turn blue.—Technical World Magazine. The cost of living is still increasing in German cities at an alarming rate The entire weight of London's fambus landmark rests upon a six-foot slab of pot-earth, and this is now crumbling, allowing Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece to crack badly in several places and show other signs of a dangerous subsidence.—Illustrated London News. LOOSE SAND BLUE LONDON CLAY C. C. Hoyer Millar has pointed out a letter to the Times that the subsidence of St. Paul's Cathedral has likely been caused by the lack of moisture in the subsol of the foundation. The building over the area surrounding St. Paul's has robbed the soil of the support it received from the annual rainfall, and the thin, six-foot slab of pot-earth upon which the whole building rests has consequently shrunk. In the last thirty years 64,800,000 cubic feet of water which should under normal conditions have found its way into the foundations has been diverted by drains and sewers. Mr. Hoyer Millar proposes to replace the loss by sinking in the soil at a depth of forty feet around the building and at intervals of forty feet six-inch pipes, plerced with many apertures. This, he believes, would bring about a steady expansion of the subsol, which would ultimately lift the Cathedral back to its proper position.

This failure, seems to have been overcome in the bottle washing, brusshown in the accompanying illustration, the invention of a Chicago man. In this cleaner two brushes are used, one to reach the bottom of the bottle and the other to remove particles adhering to the side. All the brushes are connected to a spiral handle, the operation of which is well known. When the handle is pulled, a whirling motion is imparted to the brushes, any substance adhering to the inside of the bottle being thus cleaned off. Trifles Agents of Fate. Often it is the little things which bring the great results where mystery is deepest. An "e" in a misspelled word brought home his crime to the forger Pigott. It was a couple of hairs of a squirrel which convicted a woman of murder in a case which had long puzzled the police. Literature has sometimes to depend upon as slender clues as this for-establishing evidence not otherwise to be galanced. When commentators on the works of Robert Louis Stevenson were busiest they came across a manuscript whose place of birth they could not determine. Was it written before he left home or after he arrived in Famra? There was a crushed fly upon one of the pages. They took this to Mr. Verrall, the entomologist, and he was able to decide. The fly was of a species peculiar in the Polynesian islands. Stevenson写 ten the notes in his. island home.— Chicago Journal. Walnuts. If you ask your grocer, "What are the best English walnuts?" he will reply, "French ones." They are exported chiefly from Grenoble, and are known as Grenoble nuts. The suggestion having been made that excellent walnuts could be raised in many of our Southern States, at a distance from the humid and swampy coast lands, the Department of Commerce has collected interesting facts about the cultivation of the trees in France. They grow best at altitudes between 600 and 1900 feet. The young trees are very susceptible to extreme heat or cold. To maintain the quality of the nuts frequent grafting is practiced. Perfect nuts grow only on the outer limbs, exposed to the air and sun, and the inner limbs are kept trimmed down. The trees are planted with plenty of room about them, and every year or two the ground is dug up and fertilized. The space between can be utilized for pastureage or crops. ```markdown ``` SIGNORINA INES, Daughter of General Berta, of the Italian Army, Riding Down an Almost Perpendicular Cliff. —L'Illustrazone.

How a Skipper Paid $90 to Lose His School Greyhound's Long Cruise—New Bedford Ski Taking Great Interest in the Issue of an Old Whale Latest Harpooning Trip—Greyhound Off on a Fife Years' Cruise in Search of Spouters—Skipper Edwards Grows Reminiscent and Spins a Yarn of How His Captain Was Held Up in Spanish Waters and Made to Pay $90 for License, Then Got Shipwrecked in Golfo Curiaco. Whaling skippers hereabouts are Indulging in a 'good deal of speculation' as to what success the Greyhound will have on her present cruise, writes the New Bedford correspondent of the New York Evening Sun. The old bark, was in excellent shape when she sailed last week, and with a good crew aboard it is expected that the cruise will be profitable. Although she was built in 1854 the Greyhound is stanch yet and a fast sailer. This time she is expected to be out five years, making stops every six months at the Azores and the West Indies. The Greyhound's last voyage lasted four years, lacking a few days. "She never was a plumppuddner," said Captain Castino, one of the oldest skippers in New Bedford, when he saw the Greyhound's lines cast off. Captain Castino has seen her sall on many a long cruise. "Plumppuddners" are whathals that only remain out five or six months. It is expected that the Greyhound will spend a good deal of time whaling off the coast of Patagonia. Although the meetings of the Spin Yarn Club have been rather sparsely attended of late because of the hot weather, quite a number of whalemen gathered in Frank Brown's harpoon shop to-day to discuss different matters. Capt. Dowden was not there because of the fact that he has had a new balcony built on the second story of his house in Mill street. These fine days the captain sits on his new balcony to see what is going on along Purchase street. As a consequence he seldom gets down to Frank Brown's, but sometimes drops into Leader Brighton's place-for a minute to get the news. Capt. Sylivanus Potter, who may take out the bark A. B. Tucker this summer, was one of the Spin Yarn members present. He dropped in to ask Frank Brown about some new bomb lances that have just come in. Incidentally he remarked, that he thought irons were cheaper down Provincetown nowadays than at New Bedford. "Well, they ought to sell 'em pretty cheap down on the Cape," said Brown. They make 'em out of zinc, I understand." Capt. Potter lapsed into silence after this and smoked his pipe. He is not given to talking a great deal. Brown mentioned that he had sold some wire-feathered lances to Norwegian parties and had just received a fresh stock of blubber-forks. Blubber forks are now quoted at $1.10 apiece. The whalemen were gratified over the catch made by the schooner John R. Manta, which has just arrived. Whales were reported very plentiful off the Brazilis, and although the Manta was not out a very long time her work was profitable. It was said that the best catches were made in the Gulf of Curlaco, sperm whales being found in goodly quantities. Capt. Joseph Edwards, worthy Portuguese skipper, and Capt. George Anthony, who was master of the old Catalepa, Joined the group in Brown's shop while a description of the Manta's cruising was being given. The name Curlaco seemed to awaken old memories in the Portuguese skipper's mind. He gazed meditatively toward the blue Anacshnet. "Golfo Curiaco, Golfo Curiaco," he repeated slowly. "I know that place ver' wal, var' wal. I was only there wance—many year ago—dat's a ver' bad place. How about? Am I ever telltin' you about the time I am shipwreck in Curiaco. That's the only vessel I ever lose. The same time, too, we pay for get shipwreck. I never told you, don't I?" Frank Brown interrupted to say that he remembered when the Cohannet was lost but had never understood about the unusual financial arrangement that preceded her founding. "Wal, it's like this, you sse," continued Capt. Edwards. "We're right whaling south of the line; we go after sperm whales further north and don't get much. There was weeks when the lookout never yells 'Dar blows.' Sperm whalin' seems to be no good and our captain, Capt. Frintas, he was 'bout crazy beez he says this will be a losin' cruise. We didn't have thirty casks of oil for six months out. It was pretty bad. The men is all on a lay and they commence to grumble at our bad luck. There was no use to make complent, though, we couldn't find whales anyhow. The old man says we'll have to go humpbackln'. "Up north of the line we cruise, on and off the coast of Brazil. One day somebody asked Capt. Frintas if he has ever been whalin' in Golfo Curiaco—that's fine place for whalin', the mate says. Capt. Frintas say, 'Hola! is that so, I think will try him.' Capt. Frintas has big weekers and looks more like farmer than sea-farin' man. Well, we put the wheel hard over and laid a course for Curiaco. The men was very good, however, then they hear: the mato say this is fine place and we'll do well here. "In three days we raise the headland off the Gulf and we're going through into the bay where there comes a leetle gunboat, a smoky clankin' vessel and wants to know where we're goln'. Captain says we're goin' whalin' in this gulf. It was a Spanish fellow in command of the gunboat. He says, 'No you ain't, unless you pay the tax of the government.' "Well, the Spanish commandante he come aboard and says he is in charge of entrance to Golfo Curlar and each whaler has to pay license. The whalin' ver' good, he say sort of encouraging and smiles ver' nice. He has gold laces and is a fine commandante. "How much you charge for fees taxes? says the captain. "One hundred feety dollar, say the commandante, very strong. "That's a lot of money,' Capt. Fritimas says; 'we don't have any luck. I can't pay so much money.' "Well, they talk about terms for loag tam. At last the commandante he is impatient and asks: "How much,you give anyway?" "The captain the talk some time with mate and then he answers: "Wal. I gvee you $90, anyhow; dat's all I gvee; I am poor man." "All right,' say the commandante. He smile some more. 'Give me $90 and you go whalin' in de Golf.' "Vir well, de captain give de money and de gunboat waddles off toward shore. De schooner fills off, and we go pushing into de Golf. Well, dat's fine place. Big, smooth waters. We are scarcely dere an hour before look-out call: 'Dar blows!' and de waist boat is lowered and gets a small sperm whale. There's a big time aboard den. Everybody is singin' and nobody talkin' 'bout de cockroaches. Before we get through cuttin' in de nex' day we take another sperm whale, and de men is feelin' better yet. By dis way we'll be high hooked in a few days and bound for Saint Eustache. Our luck was turn at las'. "Well, about the third night we're in de Golfo we are cruisin' along when a big breeze o' wind comes down out of de hills to south'ard. It freshens, booms up, tears along the surfaces and pretty soon we're reefing down. Along after sunset we're rushing along 'bout tree mile off shore, when bang! crash! the schooner strikes and commences to fill. 'Hola!' yell the captain. 'She is on unchartered rock. Sapristi, she is gone.' "Well, the Cohannet sort o' slid off de first rock and commence to settle into deep water. She fill so fas' dat we only have time to throw some grub in de boats and get off. We work over toward shore and land under lee of high bluff. There is nothing only trees, thick jungles and high rocks. What can we do? Capt. Frintas say, "Well, we will have to sail pretty soon for de mouth of bay, where is de gunboat. The captain he is a brave fellow. Well, we are all discourage, all our hopes gone. Pretty soon storm blow over next morning and we put off in the two boats. De other boats we leave aboard schooner when she founders. "In twelve hour we're makin' de mouth of de bay. Here comes de smoky gunboat like before. "Wot's de matter?" says the commandante. "I lose my ship," says Captain Frintas, very solemn. She struck an unchartered rock. Your Government no good—they have not chart de bay right." "Well, what you 'going to do about?' asks the commandante. "Us, we'll go home, some, tam when we get chance," answer Capitan Frintas. "I tell you you,' the commandante said, 'I take you up to Rio Blanco, where you can' get steamer for Barbadoes." "All right,' say de capitan. 'I guess dot's best thing we can do.' "So we go up for Rio Blanco, such a hot place, on de river, an' wait for steamer. Pretty soon she come. We go out to Bridgetown and on so home. Dat was tam we pay for get shipwreck. Dat was bad tam." The other whalemen in the party agreed that the Cohannet's accident had been unfortunate. It was peculiar, too, they said, that Frintas should have had to meet the financial demands of the commandante before he could take his vessel into the Gulf, where she foundered. "That was very bad for Frintas," commented Captain Edwards, "but next tam he have yer' good luck weeth de schooner Amethyst. He never tried de Golfo Curlaco again. Dat's a bad place for him." There was a general move among the whalemen toward the door. "Where did you say the gulf was exactly?" asked Captain Potter. Captain Edwards gave the location of Curlaco. "Some time I will communicate with their government and have them take steps to have the place chartered properly and furnished with protecting lights." Capt. Potter spoke assertively. Three years ago he went to The Hague to be consulted as an authority during a whaling dispute between Russia and the United States. Consequently he feels his position. The skippers called a cheery good night to Brown and moved off toward Purchase street. i s Russet, PP REED ‘2 B5 soa, oh PPS AE Rae . i es cee Oe ee RE NE Oe SN ae ; ae eth. t yee, @ RR epee OLE Wee PR, HENS BF Se SORES Ea eS Ze EJ Fi 5” = 2 BEE Pe) te ek SY ‘ = SRNR Se NO Sere Is PO a thee GEE OnE TH, ESSE AS ee VS othe Are ots, ba eet oe tk aN EW abe EE Gey eae ee ez Be SEE Sy PS EE Ss pi So grety Yea peek: iat |woteriand tazode day ‘and’the ww "l Iprot: Hurd hier.” SI aioe OBS CTIBUNO, | socsone tie whe toner, shake Gocuyy le] -" TROT: EREM DOL LCK.. | olSiviog Fer. tendera of she, tebe eer rs a — — a Be EOD ee reals pres be ae SES wink] | ami teacne MER a ee SCAR RE Rear Rtenaarteg of te Teter | ig, NOTICE. |? / OE kT = 2. ae ‘ido s dollar nated for laterests..

The N. Y. Independent editori. ally took the Bishop to task? a part of the editorial following an extract from Dr. Satterlee’s address. He says: “At the present day the colored people of America are lead astray-by mere de lusions as to the way in which the diffe vance between a stronger and a weaker race May beovercome. “The most ignorant of them think that "by standing? for thelr political rights as ‘fellowcitizens,’ they are golag to coerce Fetognltion as soelai equals, aud therefore many of these act with yblateat self asser and an assumptfon of “quality whenever the opportunity offers ln public or private, Others dream that they will break down the color Ilae by becoming householders; and, therefore, are buyiog up all the laad they can pay for; others suppose that they can attain the same object thra the possession of wealth; an others atill sim for equality by-belog, educated in schools and colleges, catering upon the learned professions and haviog ualyers! ty degrees attached to their names But no stream can rise higher than its fountain head, and the history of the Negro race in the past forty years is a great historic lesson Tho, for more than 2 generation, the Negroes have been made the political equate of the whites by universal suflrage, the result has only brought out more plainly than ever before, the fact they are morally and intellectually a weaker race. and that even if they should become great landowners, men of wealth and men of education, race fatagonism would only become stronger and more sharply defined.” The New. York Independent replies as follows: “Let us say to Bishop Satterlee that he is‘as ignorant of the Negroes as heconfesses he was, until lately of the Methodists. The colored people of America ate not !con- cerned at all about social recog- nition, only about their equal social rights, They do not ad- mit that they are intellectually or physically inferior to any other race; they are only a little later in getting started. They have an ambition, 2 reasonable one, which we shall do our best to support, that in intelligence, onlture, ‘wealth and genius they may prove themselves equal to the best the world has yet produced. We expect. to see men of that blood occupying the highest positions in this conntry, all conceited and -ar- rogant Caucasian or Anglo Sax- on assumption and resistance to the contrary notwithstand ing. We wanttosee it; it is decently Christian to desire it. ‘We believe that a succeeding generation will seo great black republics in Africa, producing statesmen, philosophers, poete and orators worthy to be count- ed beside Homer and Plato and Cicero and Dante and Shake- spare. Equally we expect such great leaders to appear in re- generated Russia, These hopes ate no more fantastic than it would have.appeared to Roman Senators to see the Angli‘ slaves become angeli, or to Caesar that the race of which he sold 63,000 slavesshould produce in Na- poleon ‘a mightier conquer than _ himself.’”’ Make Our Money More Useful. Brunswick, Ga., August 14, 1907. ‘Mr, Editor, Dear Sir: Freak legislation if persisted ia will ‘somo day open the eyes of colored people to their true plight in this caste cursed teountry and when it is done they will begin to look the condition squarely in the face, it will work to drive the colored man together. I assert it, that with very Tittle variation there Is about ($200,000) two hundred thousand dollars of colored people’s monies belonging to the many ‘sleemosyasry societies, monies on deposit in white banks of the state of Georgia. ‘That money was ralted for cleemosynary Purposes and is being used to that end. There can be no doubt, no question is ralued upon that line, ‘It Is simply thi. expediency inthe hour of greatest aceds Aryace mast be saved bt what ever cost it might be, but the rate must be saved at any coxt. ‘A people must be helped te get om thelr feet that theycan be in a posi- tlom to withstand the asssults of such freak, legislation as threatea them. In -ether words they must be helped to be- come landlords, that they might the better be prepared to measure up to the fall standard ofS American eltizenshlp.

Eprroz : : Savannah Division of the United Order of True Reformers elected dele- ne to the 27th Annual Session of thé rand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, Richmond, Va, Sept 10, LI, Zand 13, 1907. ‘The Savannah District Reformer Con- vention held on Thursday August 16, 1907 jn the Reformers department of “Our Hall” Savannah, Ga., marked a grand and magnificent Spock ‘in Reformn- erism in our city. The promptness with which the Grand old Chief and the faithful and efficent delegates assembled and got down to the important work of the day merits high commendation. The convention having been duly con- vened, the Chief Rey. J. H. Walkerin a very ‘eloquent address outlined _ the object of the meeting and quoted the law bearing on the election of delegates, when he bad concluded his address there was no doubt left in the minds of his hearers but that the proceedings of the convention were to be conducted on ‘a bigh plane and in absoluto harmony and fairness to ‘all, and in it 1s the con ‘sensus of opinion of all the delegates present thet he succeeded. : Among the miny important things said by the Chief in ble address was the statement relative to his, appointment to “Our Division” in which he said that when he had been appointed to this feld of labor, that he was advised by some of his best friends not to come to Georgia and that he had not decided within himself until he had made the appointment a matter of prayer and having had his solemn gbiigation plaped squarely before him, he decided to ac eeptand come and bring God with him. He recited the conditions that existed when he came toSavannah tea montbs ago when he found only thirteen Foun tians, which now grown to twenty five and ‘that the membership of the’ Foun tains and Rose Buds in this division had more than doubled ‘Although having encountered some opposition to the furtherance of the work in the form of that class wo cannot do themselves and who stand Jn the way to prevent others, the Chief said ‘that he had found many Joyal friends and supporters here, and that he was willing to live, love, die and be buried in our midst.’ The address of Chief was thoroughly enjoyed by all Present, ‘The next order of business being the appointment. of committees ‘Ihe following were appointed, yiz cre dentials and finance. ‘The Chief then ordered a short recess to allow the committees to retire and complete their work, = x The committees having made known their readiness to repost through their chairmans, Bros. R. \W. Jones and Jno. McIntosh,’ the Chief again called the house to order and sone their reps after which the convention decided to appoint a nominating cofamittee for the selection of delegates. A.committee of five with Bro. Benjamin Lambert, ehairman was appointed. They retired acd soon returned with & ticket of nine couplets as candidates’ for delegates. Each couplet was vote forin its absence with the following results: Delegates elected Bros. Benjamin Lambert of Faithful Workers Fountain new, John McIntosh of Star of success No. 2636 new, Noah McGriff of Race Pride Foun tain 2075, W. D. Kennedy of Vigilant Fountaiu ‘new, R. W.

Horton of Pride of Savannah £738. On the good of the order Prof. Jno. Melntosh ‘of Star of Success briefl spoke with great’ enthusiasm and emphasis of how the chief impressed the Savannah Division as being very peculiar in his Ways ‘and told bow he fand Bro McGriff and others joined heart and hands in‘bearing up the arms of the Chief, how he had gone to the Chief Star of Success Fountain and Rosebud 1036, the largest in tho division and how he worked day and night for the good of the order. Mrs. J.H Patterson of Savannah Pearls made an earnest and Deantifol talk telling how she took hold of the work and labored most assidiously single handed ia the organization of her Fountain and Rosebud, ahe spoke very encouragingly of the work urging all to fo,02, with the good‘work in a friendlj joving and christian rivalry, exch seeking to bulld and spread the, work ‘and magnifying the good of the order in iis many execilencies emong mankind. Mrs. Georgia A. Horton spoke in glowing ‘terms of praise of the order, as being grandly euperior to all others. She spoke as though she could heartily slog Sweet Beulah Land. ‘This Convex tion which was largely attended by elegates and visitors from all over the Brotherhood closed in due form, after which most hearty handshakes and congratulations and God speed your Way. to Richmond, bless the Grand ‘Fountain with showers of blessings and God be with you until we mect-agsin.

They should not be let out of their coops too early in the morning, or when the dew is on the ground; still less should they be suffered to range over the wet grass, which is a common cause of disease and death. They should also be guarded against sudden unfavorable changes of weather, more particularly if attended with rain. Nearly all the diseases of gallinaceous fowls arise from cold moisture. The period at which chicks are left to shift for themselves depends upon the disposition of the hen. Some will continue their attentions to their chickens till they are nearly full-grown, while others will cast them off much earlier. In the latter case an eye should be kept upon them for a few days, for chickens in this half-grown state are much more liable to disease than when they were apparently tender little weaklings. Improving the Well. Those who remember how pure the water used to taste when it was drawn up from the old open stones walled well will welcome any plan of improving our present wells. The sweet, satisfying taste which it possessed is not now very characteristic of much of the farm well water. The fact is that people, as a rule, are very careless nowadays about the source of drinking water. Wooden curbing, absolutely no ventilation in many cases and poor soils for the purification of water have brought about the change. A farmer who believes that Ventilated Platform. Ventilated Platform. plenty of pure air in the well will aid much in the purity of the water gave us the following plan: The frame for the support of the platform is made of two by fours, allowing a space of four to six inches between the top and bottom parts of the sides. This space is covered on the inside with two screens. The first is a large mesh, to keep out large vermin. Over this is a fly screen, to keep out dirt, insects, etc. The well never becomes foul. In winter the platform is covered with straw and snow. Iowa Homestead. How to Detect Swarming. The first indication of swarming is the laying of eggs in the drone comb. While the presence of eggs in the drome-cells is not a sure sign that a swarm will issue, yet as far as I have observed swarms never do issue without eggs being laid therein. If the weather is propitious the next step is the building of queen-cells, soon after which the queen deposits eggs in them. In three days these eggs hatch into larvae and these larvae are fed an abundance of food by the nurse bees for six days, when the cells containing the embryo queens are sealed over. If no bad weather intervenes the swarm issues the next day, the old queen going with the swarm. Bear in mind that this is the rule with the black or German bees and generally with other races; still, the Italians often swarm when the eggs are first laid in the queen-cells and some without the least preparation except drones in a time when swarming runs high in an aplary. I find, as a rule, that the first queen emerges from her cell from six to seven days after the swarm issues. If more swarms are allowed, they come forth two days later, or from the eighth to ninth day after the first and never later than the sixteenth day. As soon as it is decided that no more swarms shall issue, all queens in the cells are destroyed, when in from five to nine days the young queen goes out to be fertilized, two days after which she commences to lay. If the aplarists stops all after swarming by the cutting of the queen cells, or by other means that keeps all of the bees in the old hive together after the first issue, I find that the young queen is much slower in going out on her wedding trip and often does not commence to lay till from the twelfth to the sixteenth day. Taking one season with another the bulk of surplus honey is gathered by the first or prime-swarm. This being true, it is best to allow only one swarm to issue from each hive. To prevent after swarms, place the newly hived swarm on its original stand and move the hive from which the swarm has issued to a new location. It is from this old hive, of course, that after-swarms may be expected to issue. About the time the queen cells are to hatch affix an entrance guard of perforated zinc to the hive. After a few days several dead queens will be found at the hive entrance. Now remove the entrance guard and you have remaining undoubtedly the best queen of the lot, after the plan of the survival of the fittest. Putting on sections is an important part of apiary work. If the first lot of sections is not placed on the hives at the proper time the amount of honey secured from any given colony will be greatly reduced. If put on too late the bees will have begin making preparations to swarm. It is better on the, whole to put them on a little too early than too late. A colony with abundant entrance for air is less inclined to swarm than it otherwise would be. Raising the hive by putting an inch block under each corner, leaving the hive open all around, can hardly be beaten for giving plenty of air. But do not hope that the plan of giving plenty of air will suffice to keep bees from swarming entirely.—F. G. Herman, in The Epitomist. Modern Farming. One of the farm papers states that modern methods of farming are now so perfect that the farmers may mow peas, take them to a cannery and in two and a half hours from the time the vines are pitchforked to the receiving platform, the peas have been hulled, washed, sifted, blanched, placed in cans, brined, the cans capped, processed, labeled, boxed and the peas made ready for consumers; all at the cost of a dime per can and without having been touched by human hands at any stage of the process. Balancing Cornmeal As long as cormeal meets it will be used as a food for chicks, and while it has been used for many decades and found excellent yet it should and can be improved. It is deficient in mineral matter, and does not provide lime for the growth of bones. First, always scald the cormeal and feed it as a stiff dough, or feed it dry, in a little trough (never on the ground). To a quart of the cormeal add one gill of linseed meal, one gill of ground meat and a teaspoonful of salt and bread soda mixed. Then-mix all the substances well before scalding or feeding. Roots For Breeding Ewes. Among well-informed stock-breeders, it is generally accepted as true that the feeding of roots, either carrots or beets or even potatoes, to breeding ewes during the lambing season and until the new grass is plentiful produces most beneficial results in the way of increasing the flow of milk. It is a good plan to commence the feeding of roots a month at least before lambing. In feeding them, sprinkle on a liberal supply of bran and meal mixed in equal quantities. As well as roots, always feed the best of hay; and feed regularly, three times each day, if your sheep are not out to pasture. The Foot of a Horse: The foot of a horse is one of the most ingenious and unexamined pieces of mechanism in animal structure. The hoof contains a series of verticles and thin laminae of horn, amounting to about 500, and forming a complete lining to it. In this are fitted as many laminae belonging to the coffin-bone, while both sets are elastic and adherent. The edge of a quire of paper, inserted leaf by leaf into another, will convey a sufficient idea of the arrangement. Thus the weight of the animal is supported by as many elastic springs as there are laminae in all the feet, amounting to about 4000, distributed in the most secure manner, since every spring is acted on in an oblique direction. Brood Coop. The accompanying sketch shows a very convenient brood coop which can be built any size desired. I find that twenty inches square on the inside is about right for one hen and chickens. It should be made of lumber seven-eighth-inch thick. For the slope of the roof take a one by twelve of the desired length and cut as shown in sketch. It can be made with or without the floor. Door can be hinged on, but I prefer to have the door separate as it is easier to turn the coop over to let in the sunshine or to let the rain wash, it out. By nailing a cleat on as shown in illustration, and placing a button above, the door can be held in place. The bottom is attached by means of a hook and staple at each end. The cleats on floor serve 20 in. 27 in. the double purpose of holding the floor together and also helps to hold the coop in place. The floor can be easily cleaned with a broom and water. The two cover planks should be left a little apart and a strip nailed over them in order that the foul air may escape. Cleats should be nailed on the inside wherever needed to strengthen the coop. A coop of this kind can be carried from place to place with ease, which, together with being easily cleaned, makes it the coop to have where insects are abundant. Holes can be bored wherever desired for ventilation or a small crack may be left in door. In hot weather a screen door can be made which will let in plenty of air and shut out all vermin.—J. L. Carroll, In The Epitomist. LITTLE THING Forth knowing Thackeray used to lift his hat whenever he passed the house in which he wrote "Vanity Fair." Robert Browning could not sit still. With the constant shuffling of his feet holes were worn in the carpet. Chicago, it is said, has more rats, in proportion to its population, than any other city in the world. The average is about two rats for each inhabitant. Three good washes are received by an Abyssinian during his career—at his birth, on his marriages-morn, and at his death. At all other times he shuns soap and water. Dinizulu, the Zulu chief, has a graphophone, with which he entertains his guests, and also an organ of England build, on which he himself performs. The number thirteen is deemed so unlucky in Paris and Berne that none of the houses in these cities bear that numeral. Instead of it the number twelve and a half is used. The English city of Birmingham is securing control of the street-car systems there. Early in January the municipality instituted electric traction covering eighty miles of trackage. Schoolchildren in Copenhagen, Denmark, must keep clean. Three times a week they have to bathe, and while they are thus engaged their clothing is being purified in steam ovens. In England a man devised a trainwrecking scene for the amusement of an audience. The engine driver entered so recklessly into the spirit of the occasion that he killed the author of the entertainment who was lying bound upon the track. A native of Egypt who recently died left $400,000' stored in gold in his house. Many Egyptians who are possessed of wealth will borrow money at interest to conceal the fact. Large quantities of gold coin are annually melted in Egypt and converted into ornaments. The Philadelphia Record declares that Charles C. Reber, an employe in a shirt factory at Strausstown, Berks County, Pa., is an expert at sewing on buttons. He sewed on 4200 buttons last Friday in five and one-half hours, which means six hundred shirts, seven buttons to a shirt, or about fourteen buttons in a minute. At another time, not being aware of the fact that he was being timed, he sewed on seven buttons in twenty-five seconds.

Have you ever noticed—to use an Irishism—that you hardly ever notice the portraits of Scotland Yard detectives in the illustrated papers until they are either retired or are just about to retire? Did you, for instance, know how Detective Inspector Walsh looked prior to his quitting his service the other day, or were you familiar with Chief Inspector Arrow's features until he accepted, a month or two ago, the post of chief of police at Barcelona? If you think carefully over these two questions you will have to confess to yourself that you are unable to answer either of them in the affirmative, the reason being that neither of the officers mentioned was ever previously photographed for publication. This is one of the many unwritten laws of Scotland Yard. Nevertheless there is hardly a detective in London who has not been photographed over and, over again, for the simple reason that there is in existence a class of men who make a specialty of snapshoting police officers, with a view to selling the portraits so obtained to professional criminals. Such photographs are, for obvious reasons, greatly sought for. Certain detectives make a specialty of certain lines of crime. One, for example, deals with coiners, another with anarchists and undesirable aliens generally, and so on. All really high-class criminals also specialize in crime. There you have the thing in a nutshell. For a professional coiner to be familiar with the features of the man who is on the lookout for him is, from his point of view, eminently desirable. And he usually is familiar with them, thanks to the snapshotters, themselves for the most part criminals or ex-criminals. In fact, one notorious counterfeiter arrested the other day by a clever ruse was found to be in possession not only of the photographs of the men who arrested him, but of carefully tabulated written descriptions of them into the bargain. -Pearson's Weekly. There are 27,941,960 people whose lives are insured in the United Kingdom, the total value of the policies in force. amounting to the enormous sum of £10,005,808.58$. Fashion Notes 1 New York City.—The wide, loose sleeve that is variously known as the Mandarin, kimono and the Tokio is by far the most notable feature of 1 the present styles, and is peculiarly well liked for such little wraps as this one. For the warm weather it has a great many practical advan- L tages, inasmuch as it does not mean any great warmth and can be slipped on over the fluffy, dainty lingerie sleeves without rumpling them in the least. In the illustration the jacket is made of striped volle, that is white with lines of blue, and is trimmed with embroidered banding which suggests Oriental coloring and design and which is edged with narrow plain braid. The jacket, however, is suited to every seasonable material, while also it can be relied upon to be correct for the early autumn, which, after all, is not so far off. The narrow vest makes a special feature, and the garment is altogether exceedingly smart. In fact, it gives the effect of exceptional lines, while it is so simple that there is very little labor involved in its making, the characteristic being largely produced by judicious use of trimming. The Eton is made with fronts, back and vest and wide sleeves that are joined to it at the armholes. The Size For Coronet Braid. The coronet braid, called a natte in Paris, is now most esteemed for the smart coifure. The natte must, however, be full and fussy and thick, and unless a woman has so much hair as to be weighted down by it she had much better buy her natte, at the hairdresser's than try to make it from her own tresses. It is a becoming mode and queenly. Pity, then, that it is so difficult of attainment, for it takes much money to buy a natte of acceptable seams of the sleeves, however, are entirely concealed by the trimming so that the effect is that of being cut in one with the garment, and there is also a V-shaped portion applied on the back. The quantity of material required for the medium size is two and a half yards twenty-one or twenty-seven or one and three-eighth yards forty-four inches wide with five and a quarter yards of banding one and three-quarter inches wide, and eleven yards of narrow braid to trim as illustrated. Nine-Gored Pleated Skirt. The pleated skirt is unquestionably the favorite of the hour, and every possible variation finds its welcome. This one is distinctly novel, the pleats in each group being turned toward one another, and is exceptionally desirable for the reason that it is adapted to almost any skirting material. In the illustration it is made of one of the new pongees trimmed with a blas band of the material, plipped with plain color and stitched with holding silk, but wool, linen and cotton are quite as appropriate as silk, and again the skirt is just as desirable for the gown or the suit as it is for separate use. Trimming can be varied in a number of ways; a plain stitched hem is quite correct, while bands of the material, such as the one illustrated, are much in vogue. Folds or applied tucks of contrasting fabric also are greatly used, and there are ready-made bandings galore. 1 The skirt is made in nine gores and is laid in pleats at each seam, that are turned toward one another to give an inverted effect. The quantity of material required for the medium size is eleven and three-quarter yards, twenty-seven, six and a half yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide. No White Gloves For Paris: A fashion decree has been issued in Paris that ladies shall not wear white gloves, even at receptions and parties. Gray or pearl will do, but allowance is made for tan-colored gloves and dark red ores, which are becoming popular. VIRGINIA RECIPE FOR CURING HAM. Put the ham into pickle made by putting into one and one-half gallons of water one-half pound of brown sugar, one-half ounce of saltpeter and two and one-quarter pounds of salt. Boil this mixture for half an hour, skimming frequently; then set aside to cool and pour over the ham. Leave for two weeks; remove the ham; wash it in fresh water; dip it, still wet, in bran, and coat thickly with it. Now take to the smokehouse and hang, hook end down, in smoke from hickory ships and sawdust for four weeks. Brush off the bran, wrap in brown paper, and hang up until needed. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS Starched muslins, laces and prints will look nicer and iron more easily if dampened with hot water instead of cold. To impart extreme stiffness to starch add to one quart of starch a teaspoon of gum arabic and the same of baking soda, dissolved in a little water. The contents of the inner vessel of a double boiler will cook much more rapidly if the water in the outer compartment is salted in the proportion of half a cup of salt to two quarts of water. Soak new brooms in strong hot salt water before using. This toughens the bristles and makes the brooms last longer. If jelly has been set away to cool in an earthen or agate mould, set the mould in a dish of very hot water and count three, then it will be ready to turn out on a plate. Always wash red linen tablecloths in water in which borax has been dissolved. Soap and candles should be bought in quantity as they last longer and are more effective when dried. To destroy the sharpness of a knife, put the blade into hot grease. Meat will keep sweet for several days by covering it entirely with milk. Sour or buttermilk will answer the purpose as well as sweet milk. To remove stains from the fingers, caused by peeling onions, rub well with a lemon. To clean a gold chain place for a moment in a cupful of ammonia and water, using three parts of water to one of ammonia. Polish finally with a clean chamois leather. To save incandescent mantles, when lighting turn on the gas for a few seconds, then hold the match one inch above the chimney. It is through applying the match too quickly that so many mantles are destroyed. New iron kettles may be cleaned by boiling in them a good-sized handful of hay. Let boil one hour, then scour with soap and sand; fill again with clear water and allow it to boil. After this treatment they will not discolor anything cooked in them. To remove dried tea stains apply equal parts of yolk of egg and glycerine to the stain, and allow to dry. Rinse well in clean cold water. This will be found excellent for an afternoon tea cloth which must not be boiled on account of its delicate coloring. SPICY CARROTS Scrape new carrots, cut in inch lengths, then into lengthwise slices and finally in matchlike strips. For a pint put in a saucepan a heaping-tablespoonful of butter and a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt; when hot turn in the carrots, shake well, cover and cook very slowly, adding a spoonful of water if they are inclined to burn. When barely tender sprinkle with a half teaspoonful of flour and turn through well. Just before dishing add a pinch of powdered cloves, the grated rind of half a lemon and a tablespoonful of chopped parsley.—Newark Call WHAT'S THE USE? Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time, but no one can go without sleep. "For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night, but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vigorous," says a Calf. woman. "Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee, but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee, and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum removed it. "My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach, and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach; lately hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. "Finally he tried a cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee, and since then has been drinking Postum in its place, and says he has not once been troubled 'with sour stomach.' Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it. Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this, but it's easily proved. A ten days' trial works wonders. "There's a Reason." Read the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pgs. The Dulpit A SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. MA VERNEL HENDERSON. Subject: "Patriotic Manhood." Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the above theme, the pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text II Sam. 10:12, "Let us show ourselves men for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God." He said: "The history of the world is rich with the record of the achievements of pathetic manhood. In no untrue sense we must say that the fairest history of humility is inseparably linked with the deeds of its heroes. Whether in war or peace, it has been ever so. The valorous all ages have made the enduring story of the world's advance. Not otherwise is it with America. The story of the States is the story of heroic living both in war and in peace. No nation under the sun has a prouder list of valiant warriors than have we. No country can boast a more unblemished record—despite our acknowledged sins—than ours. The memory of the men who braved the wilds of an unknown land, of the souls who dared at Valley Forge, on the waters of Lake Erie, at Gettysburg, at Santiago, that a new land might be discovered to a waiting world, that a nation might be born and saved, that liberty might be enlarged, will never be forgotten. The remembrance of such manhood is imperishable. Of such a manhood America*has her share. By the devotion of such a manhood our heritage of freedom was procured, and by it the priceless liberties of a free people have been conserved to us all. But glorious as is the history of militant America, greater still is her pre-eminence as a nation that is being perfected under God in the arts of peace. Delightful as are the deeds of our warriors, still more entrenching are the peaceful achievements of our civilians. The Puritans, as stern and unrelenting warriors, are not half the picture that they present as the architects and builders of a government founded deep in the everlasting principles of individual and social righteousness. Washington as a general is eclipsed by the first President of an united people. The Southerner as a fighter is supreme, but the fruits of a rechallented Southland tell to-day in tones that are thunderous of the patriotism, the chivalry, the indomitable perseverance of the manhood of the South. Some day we shall elevate Edison above Grant and the heroes of the moral warfares we have waged above the valorous upon the field of strife. For, in the last analysis, the heroes of peace are, from every point of view, more masterful, more inspiring than the mighty men of war. It is easier, when once the fever of the battle has gotten hold upon a man to go to death to the mingled man of despair with despair to live and struggle in the face and whelming odds, without a cheer and without the fanfare of the field of battle, for the civic welfare of a nation and for abstract, right. And many a man who has served with devotion under the stimulus of the common call to arms has been a traitor and a coward and has sold his country and his soul because he lacked the courage to risk all and to dare and to attack against moral and spiritual wickedness and exalted sin in the quiet hours for the common weal. America needs more men to live for her—men who will dare to show themselves men "for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God." For it would appear that this is a land of promise, that Immanuel is with us, that this country is His country, that the municipalities of this united commonwealth are the property, the possession of Divinity, the national wealth and of civic unrighteousness, in the face of the unquestioned exploitation of the people for the benefit of the few, we need men who have a call to live for the general good, and who will heed and serve. The problems of America are as stupendous as her sins. The situation demands, however, not revolution but solution. The land cries out for men who can solve—solve large problems in a large way. We must have solution, and that soon. If it is delayed for long we shall have "the deluge." The rose of our present prosperity is fragrant, but every live man knows that it has its thorns. The body pollice is the most cultured that the world has seen, but every careful diagnosis proclaims it sick with a low fever that must be eliminated. We need saviors to-day, men who are a sweet savor to God and who have power with men; men who will be straight; men who will be honest; men who will value rectitude above riches and the popular welfare above personal reward. America needs manhood. And first of all she needs a broad-minded manhood. The Puritan was sturdy but he was narrow. The manhood of to-day must combine the sturdiness and integrity of the Pilgrim Fathers with the intellectual breath of an enlightened member of a twentieth century society. It must not be narrow, it must be shallow. Positivity is an ethical history of man of God, it must have that capacity for sound and proficient judgment that shall command and retain the confidence of men. America needs a moral manhood. She needs a race of men who will have more respect for the right than respect for law. The reason so many men have not proper respect for law is that they have no comprehension of the mandatory qualities of that which is right. The man who loves the right rarely has to ask what is the sanction of the law. The man who loves his actions to his "sense of rightness" will never land in fall or be a subject for investigation. We want first a larger love for the right. Then we shall secure a due respect for law. Our multi-millionaires who flaunt their defiance to the civil law in the face of an outraged public sentiment would never think to do so had they any descent regard for the dictates of the right. Morality alone can secure the law the sanction from each soul it should receive. America' needs a religious manhood. From the point of view of a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I am bound to say, that we need a Christian manhood. For with religious morals cannot reality and realism cannot be related that a man's religious capacity will surely be an indication of his morality. Religion and ecclesiasticism are not one. Fine phrasing and fine living likewise are not necessarily determinous. We want no subservency to systems and to creeds and to authorities of human construction simply for the sake of systems and creeds and authorities. But-we do want a full blooded, whole-hearted, soulful manhood whose understanding of the character and sovereignty of God shall be comprehensive and exact, and whose lives shall be lived, and purposes controlled, and plans promulgated under the consciousness of fine virtue under the judgment day. We do not want to speeches on what we ought to be, we do want long lives full of the spirit of God and dominated by a desire to realize in action the concepts of inspired minds. Such men and such lives will be self-sacrificing. And America demands a self-sacrificing manhood. Too long have we taught our young men to prepare to take care of themselves. We need to teach them in future to learn to take care of others. Humanity needs guidance. Let us raise up leaders. The country needs saviors; let us educate them under God. For the joy of living lies in giving self out in service. Self-culture is attained through self-sacrifice. There is no joy in solitary progress. The loneliest life is the life that looks largest toward the satisfaction of self. We must carry oaths of loyalty if we would be happy. We must labor for humanity if we would find eternal peace. A nation of self-sacrificing manhood is invincible, its history will be amaranthine, its glory will perdure unto the eternities of eternity. We must have the sort of manhood that will take our text as its motto if America is to endure. It is not popular to state the evils that afflict the American social system; it is unwise to magnify them. But they do exist and they must be curbed. They cannot be cured by avoiding them. They cannot be diagnosed by evading them. They can only be rectified by a patriotic manhood; a manhood of broad and deep and sensitive intelligence, of superb moral capacity, of religious conviction, of self-sacrificing loyalty to the interests of the people and the commonwealths of God. It would be idle to deny the need. To refrain to declare it is reprehensible. Already the money-changers are in the temples; the thieves are in the treasury, the widows in the widows of orphans, and those who are without gulle, are at work. Already men are "devising iniquity upon their beds." Already they are carrying out in the daylight the evil they design at night. The wind is being sowed. The holocaust is being kindled. God forbid we should await the whirlwind and the flames with silent tongues. America must have a consecrated, patriotic, manhood of a larger build, of a wider vision, of a more divinely inspired energy then any she has yet possessed. Such a manhood alone can quench the smoldering fires and combat with prevailing force the gathering storm. With such a manhood we shall be secure. We must have it. We shall have it. The church of the living Christ, as the possessor of the most enduring revelation of the truth of God given unto men to-day, will not fall to size her opportunity to exercise her capacity for social service. In her hands lies the solution of America's perplexities, for under her dominion are the flower of American manhood. It is for her to enthrone her latty with an increased sense of civile responsibility. It is the duty of her ministry to give the call to all the hosts of God, "let us show ourselves men for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God." Rejoicing Always. The Rev. John F. Cowan says that "One way to rejoice always is to pray always; to give thanks for little things. I defy anyone, to begin the day by thanking God for the light that breaks into the bed-chamber, and for the fresh morning air, and for eight hours of rest, and for water to wash in, and keep that up, and go down to breakfast doleful and discouraged. Spirit-filled people are always sunny people. Peter and John rejoiced over stripes. Paul and Silos sang in prison. Find me a man filled with the Spirit, and I will show you a silver-lined Christian. Every groan and sign and complaint and doubt and unfaithfulness is a bucket of ice-water thrown on the spirit of rejoicing." An Ascending Scale. God's promises are ever on the ascending scale. One leads up to another fuller and more blessed than itself. In Mesopotamia, God said, "I will show the, the land." In Canaan, "I will give the all the land, and children innumerable as the grains of sand." It is thus that God allures us to saintliness. Not giving us anything till we have dared to act, that He may test us. Not giving everything at first, that He may overwhelm us, and always keeping in hand an infinite reserve of blessing. Oh, the unexplored reminders of God! Who ever saw His last star?—F. E. Meyer.

"My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken of her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuticurn Soap myself, and had heard of so many cries by the Cuticurn Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticurn Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since.

The house forced the senate to yleld in the matter of having five commis- stoners Instead of tte, But not un- til after a stormy session had followed ff the senate, Wheto {t was openly charged by three senators that the gov- ernor had lobbied with the changing senators in a manner which, {f the ame had been done by rallroad attor- neys, Would have'brought forth a how! of protest. ‘The senate, time and again, refused to accept three commissioners, and the governor was about to call an extra session to have this bil! enacted into: a Inw when the change of heart and votes took piace, and the bill was ac- cepted, as amended, by the senate shortly before midnight Saturday night. ‘The house also amended this bill so that if the governor has the right to appoint two additional commissioners to serve until they or thelr successors can be elected by the people, he can- not name the chairman, but that of- ficer 1s to be elected by the commis- sion. It ws also fixed in the house to regulate gas, electric and water pow- er companies and in addition to all these, cotton compress compamtes.

Sunday morning at 3:15 it was agreed to tax these locker clubs $500 instead of $300 as Proposed by Bfr. Wright in the house or $10.00 as pro- posed by the senate. This compromise was not effected until the general as- sembly was worn out, tired and sleepy, ‘The governor sent a special message to the general assembly asking foran income tax on all raflroads in the gtate. ‘The house declared against income taxes. An amendment to the act call- ing for an income tax on the mann- facturers of soda fount sirups was of- fered and voted down. ‘The house refused fo ralse the’ com- mon school fund to $2,000,000, but when the senate stood out for that amount for 1908 Instead, of $1,850,000, as fixed in the house, the house con- curred, as it did for several other mi- nor appropriations, . As a relnforeer of the prohibition law the house Saturday night passed the bill which prohibits the sale of nan cotles; except om physicians’ preserip- tlons, ; ‘The greatest Intérest had beon aroused over what has been commonty | called the “water power bill, that was tabled Saturday night ant ued for the soxsion.

Another important resolution not act- ed upon was that by Mr. Johnson of Jasper, which called for the creation of a commission to investigate who is getting the benefit of réduced freight rates since the rates have been re- duced to the jobber and the prices to’ the censumer contintie to soar sky- ward, ‘The bull which ralsea the price of fertilizer tags from 10 to 25 cents passed la the house by a big major- ity, but was not passed In the senate.

The other was a “Sun- day bill.” This bill provides for the creation ef a state board of examin- erg for trained nurses, and was pass- ed Sunday morning. While the session was most frultful many Important bills not here enum- erate weat over to the next session. Repeated recesses were taken be tween midnight and adjournment. Dur- ing these lulls there were mock ses- sions of the legislature with various humorists in the speaker's chair; oth- er wits about the floor and a general follifcation all round.

Continu- ing, he sald: f “Thero will be no change in the policy we have steadily pursued; no letup in the effort to secure an honest observancé of the law, for I regard this contest as one to de. termine who shali rule this gov ernmert—the people through thelr governinental agents, or a few ruthless and determined men whose wealth make them particularly for- midable, because they hide behind the -breastworks of corporate or- ganization.” ‘The president declared that the gov- ernment would undertake no action of a vindictlve type, and above all, no action which would inflict great suf- fering upon innocent stockholders and upon the public as a whole, He said that the government policy in its ultl- mate analysis meant a healthy and prosperous expansion of the business activitles of hotest business men and honest corzorations, At one polnt President Roosevelt departed for a moment from hls nd- dress as originally prepared to re- mark: “all that I have sald as to desir- able and jindesirable citizens remains true.” ‘The day was noteworthy: in the his- tory of Cape Cod. The monument, which will rise to a height of 250 feet, will commemorate the first landing of the pilgrims on American soll. At the conclusion of the part of the exer. cises on the hill, which included be- sides President Roosevelt's speech, addresses by James Bryce, the Brit ish ambassador; United States Sena- tor Henry Cabot Lodge, and Congres- man William C, Levering, the Ma- sonic ritual in connection ‘with the lay- Ing of the corner stone of the monu.. meut was carried out, Following these exercises, a banquet was held in the town hall, and later the president was conducted to Odd Fellows’ hall, where | he was introduced to more than two hundred Provincetown and Glouces- | ter fishermen, The president spoke to them, commending their labors and the way in which they performed them. At the conclusion of bls ro marks President Roosevelt was siriv- en to the‘wharf, where he boarded the Mayflower, Which sailed at 4 o'clock on her return to Oyster Bay. It is expected that the monument will ba completed in about two years. President Roosevelt in beginning his address referred to, the influence of he pligrims upon ‘the history of America and of the world and of the jebt this country owed to their in- quence, He showed that the pilgrims’ courage in, grappling with the diffi- eulties which surrounded them in thelr new home should be an inspira- on to the American citizen today 3 solve pressing problems.

His Predicted Age--Ninety-four years. ~ Net to“ Live--Twenty-six years. = ‘Cleveland, Ohio.—That John D. Rockefeller will live to more than ninety-four is the prediction_of Dr. H. F. Biggar, his family physician. Dr. Biggar watched Mr. Rockefel- ler play golf over the Forest Hill Inks, and at the finish declared that the Standard Oll magnate was likely to live more ‘than a quarter of a cen- tury longer. ‘Mr. Rockefeller, who looked. partic- ularly well, said he had never“ felt better in his life and that he could eat anything. ‘William Rockefeller, John D. Rock- eteller’s father, is stilt living and is ninety-four. Dr, Biggar said he sees no reason why the master of Forest Hill should ‘nof’livé longer than his father. , “He is the best-trainéd athlete in the sixty-year-old. class in the world to-day, and he's sixty-eight, at that,” he said. “He'll live longer pen his father, I'm sure: Did youUsee his strokes on the links this morning?

He is growing up again, and growing up scientifically, adding to his muscle, to his lungs, to his heart power with every breath of fresh air he takes on Forest Hill, and with*every drive he makes at the Golf Club.” 5 And it cost Mr. Rockefeller $5,- 000,000 for this.second life. Those are his own words. It happened in this wise, according to Doctor Biggar: “Mr. Rockefeller came to Cleve- land in 1893, In the middle of the pante period, completely broken in health and spirit.
