The irreducible minimum~ of the Japanese claims is the restoration of the steamer as well as her cargé and the payment of a full Imdemnity. Ac- tlon is demanded within a “reasonable time.” In case of default or postponement, Japan, according to the terms of. her ultimatum, will “take immediate ac tlon.” «.™ Japan expects a reply at once. She will not tolerate China’s offer ta Investigate the case; she insists upon an apology for hauling down of the Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru and she will not accept mediation, affirm- ing that China is in error and that the facts are incontrovertible, Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister to China, In delivering the ultimatum, made reference to Japan's sympathy with China in the matter of the contra- band trafile in arms and explained that China could not expect mediation so Tong as‘she did not admit the partici- pation of the Portuguese. Besides the trouble over the seizure of the Tatsu, China's activity to recov- er full sovereignty in Manchuria has aroused the Japanese to opposition. Ja; pan has raised the standard of her post- offices, increased the effectiveness of her postal system, which is ono of the Japanese government's special instruc: tions of aggression, and {r harassing the imperlal Chinese by other means. Japan refuses China certain postal prvilleges on the south Manchurian railways to which she fs entitled, has broken open Chinese mail bags, seeret- ly confiscating one mail bag and con- tents and conducts a parcels post over her railways, while refusing to carry the parcels of the Chinese post.

One would be puzzled to name the town or city where the best English is spoken.

London heard recently of the death of two noted adventurers, the "Duke of Otranto" and the "Marquis do Leuville," writes the correspondent of the New York Sun from the English capital. The former died at Milan. He was one of the most famous swindlers in Europe. His real name was George Mamolescu, but he was known as "Duke of Otranto" and "Prince Lahovery," both titles being self-conferred. He was a man of extraordinary good looks, a perfect figure, a bright, amiable disposition and all the necessary equipment for a Chevalier d'Industrie. Leslie at the time of the enment reported in 1884: "The Marquis de Leuville Anglo-Frenchman, born in 1841 of independent fortune. He was born in England, but is a scendant of the ancient hous Oliver de Lourncourt, which t back in a direct line as far as After the Norman conquest the ly was divided into two bran The elder branch, settling in F in the fifteenth century, was r to the peerage and received the Marquis de Leuville in the of Louis XIV. by patents of no He was born in Rumania forty years ago, the son of an army officer, and he ran away from a military academy at Galatz and went to Constantinople, where he entered the service of a Turkish Pasha in a high office. He soon absconded with the Pasha's pocketbook and the prize beauty of his harem. Arrested across the Greek frontier he attempted suicide and was taken to a hospital, where the handsome youth attracted the attention of Queen Olga, who was visiting the slick. She procured his release and gave him money enough to take him home. He left Rumania a second time as a stowaway on a grain steamer and reached Paris. He soon stole enough to set up a large villa in a fashionable quarter. He drove his own, carriage in the Bois de Boulogne and raced his horses at Longchamps. Presently justice overtook him, however, and he was sent to jail. When he was released from prison, four or five years later, he visited Loudon and Monte Carlo and went to Canada as the Duke of Otranto. In San Francisco he posed as the nephew of the Spanish Minister at Washington. Thence he went to Japan and afterward to Honolulu, where he fleeced a rich widow. From Honolulu he went to Chicago, where he became engaged to the daughter of a millionaire. He returned to London and got eight months at hard labor for stealing jewelry from hotels. After this he went to Brussels, where he rescued a rich Brazilian from a gang of rufians and escorted him to a hotel, pickling his pocket of $10,000 while on the way. A short visit to Monte Carlo as the Duke of Otranto nested him 200,000 crowns, or about $40,000, out of a rich Hungarian widow. After serving another sentence in jail for a hotel robbery at Nice he visited Italy, where he met the Countess Angelica von Konigsbruck, a member of one of the most distinguished Saxon families. Posing as a wealthy Rumanian land owner, he married her at Genoa in 1898. The ceremony was performed before a fashionable gathering by the Archbishop of Genoa. The bride's large dowery was exhausted during the honeymoon. A child was born to the couple in Switzerland. After a duel with the brother of another lady this adventurer went to America again and returned to Paris as the Prince Lahovary, bringing with him the proceeds of a jewel robbery in Philadelphia. Subsequently he went to Berlin and proposed to an American lady. Incidentally he ransacked the hotel bedrooms. When the relatives of the lady demanded • financial guarantees the Prince was arrested for a robbery at Genoa. He was tried in Berlin. He shammed insanity and deceived the experts so completely that he was sent to an asylum. He escaped from this institution after gagging and binding the warder. He next visited the Klondike and afterward returned to Italy, married a rich French woman and settled down to write his memoirs. He was suffering, he wrote, from an incurable disease, and only regretted that he had to leave his "angel of a wife and two pearls of children." The Countess von Konigsbruck had obtained a divorce from him in the Bavarian courts. W. A. Oliver, more generally known as the "Marquis de Leuille," is also dead. He passed away at Brighton a few days ago. He was the picturesque adventurer who cut rather a wide swath in London and New York in the early '80s. The son of a barber, he assumed a tremendous pose as a dandy, literary and artistic dabber and member of an old French feudal family. Possibly the best known feat of the soldisant "Marquis de Leuville" was his getting himself engaged to Mrs. Frank Leslie, the widow of the publisher. He first came to this country in 1831, when he made a prominent appearance in New York. He was one of the first of the fraudulent nobility to deceive New York society, and the success of his first endeavors helped him to fool the Bostonians when he was uncovered in New York. Whatever letters of introduction or other recommendations the man had, he was received with open arms in certain semi-bohemian circles here and even made his way into a few good houses in of about 1883. He soon made his way into the confidence of Mrs. Frank Leslie, and it was not long afterward that reports began to be calculated that they were engaged. It is worth while at this time to quote from the notice that was sent out in behalf of Mrs. Leslie at the time of the engagement reported in 1884: "The Marquis de Leuville is an Anglo-Frenchman, born in 1841 and of independent fortune. He was born in England, but is a descendant of the ancient house of Oliver de Lourencourt, which traces back in a direct line as far as 1055. After the Norman conquest the family was divided into two branches. The elder brach, settling in France in the fifteenth century, was raised to the peerage and received the title of Marquis de Leuville in the reign of Louis XIV. by patents of nobility bearing date of June, 1650. The De Neuvilles possessed beyond the marquisate two baronies and five selge-neuries. When the elder branch became extinct the representative of the younger, from which the present Marquis is descended, verified his titles officially and in 1745 became the legal heir to the Marquisate de Leuville. "The Marquis, however, has other than a titled distinction. He is a man of broad and liberal culture, of wide travel—having crossed the desert, explored North Africa, Spain and a great part of the American continent, and enjoys abroad high rank as a poet and a painter. He is, besides, a linguist of rare attachments. His poems entitled 'Entre Nous' have elicited the highest commendation of the press of Europe and the United States, and have run through eight editions. Lord Beaconsfield pronounced the volume 'one of the most charming collections of poems I have ever read.' Charles G. Leland (Hans Brletmann) says the volume 'has in it poetical ideas enough for twenty-books. Several of the paintings of the Marquis have honored places in European galleries and others now in this country have been greatly praised by competent critics. "He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society of London, honors vice-president of the Society for the Encouragement of Art at Naples, a British delegate of the International Literary Association at Paris, of which Victor Hugo, the Prince of Wales, President Grevy, De Lesseps and other eminent personages are members, and is connected with other artistic and literary bodies in this country and Europe. He has a wide reputation as a pistol shot, one of his feats reported in Galignani of last November having been the hitting of a target 249 times running at twenty-two paces, and he is entirely at home in the hunting field." De Leuille did write a book of verses, and he is said to have been a good pistol shot. The whole story of his lineage was emphatically denied. His pretensions to wealth and social status in Europe were pronounced to have no foundation. No doubt he had persuaded Mrs. Leslie that all the statements she put out were true. They were quite in keeping with the gorgeous tone of his imagination when he regarded himself. In spite of all this mattering notice Mrs. Leslie did not marry the Marquis, although she spoke of him always in the highest terms of praise. It was, not until 1901 that Mrs. Leslie married Willie Wilde, a brother of Oscar Wilde, and it was stated then in London despatches that Mrs. Leslie and William René Lorncourt, Marquis de Louville, had declared their intention of becoming married in August, 1899, and again in July, 1890. It was on the occasion of the latter date that it was supposed that they were shortly to be married. After the marriage of Mrs. Leslie to Willie Wilde the "Marquis" went into bankruptcy and quit London. He retired to the Continent and was there for some years. Of his later activities not much is known. He was reported to be the son of a barber who had assumed a title that did not belong to him. In his personal appearance "De Louville' was a preposterous dandy of the "Prince Regent" type. He was extremely flat and flabby and palpably wore a corset several sizes too tight. His hair was oiled and curled. The rim of his hat was too much curled and the cut of his clothes was far too modish. Hsi gloves and spats were aggressive and his cane fairly screamed for notice. His manners and conversation were equally gaudy. Germany's Mask Industry. There is an extensive demand for masks throughout Germany for the carnival season and other merry-making occasions. In Central Germany there are several large establishments devoted exclusively to manufacturing this article. They not only meet the needs of Germany's trade, but also supply a very large demand from foreign countries. The materials used in maskmaking are chiefly pasteboard and gauze, with small amounts of silk and wire. Each establishment employs its own artists, and there is a constant effort to place novelties on the market. It is largely due to the great variety of these novel designs that a promising trade with the United States has grown up during recent years, which is reported to be steadily increasing. Special clocks, which need winding up only once in 400 days, are now manufactured at Munich. HABITS OF THE TABANTULA. B. C. E. HUTCOBSON. The great tarantula of the Southwestern part of the United States, like many another policonous creature, as well as some that are quite harmless, is much maligned. It is not aggressive upon man, nor is it often intrusive, though many an old miner or prospector has "shaken them out of his blankets or boots in the morning." Strange to say, tarantulas thus dislodged are usually "the size of a saucer." It is often stated that the spider frisks about in the sunshine on the hot sands of the desert, but in reality it avoids sunshine when it is hot, and remains well down in its burrow in the ground. About sundown, it comes up to the opening and lies in wait just below the surface. It assumes this position whether it desires food or wishes only to get a bit of fresh air. It does not travel about in quest of food, even when hungry, but remains quiet in the attitude described, often for hours at a time. At the near approach of a caterpillar, grasshopper, beetle or almost any creature of like size, other than its enemy the wasp, it rushes out and seizes it; but rarely goes farther than a few inches from the opening. Should the prey, when first arrested, simulate death, which often is the case, since usually it is not at once wounded, the spider, unless it is very hungry, remains quiet until the insect moves, when the needle-polated fangs are thrust into it. By pausing, it learns the nature of the object seized. The spider then retreats with it into its burrow, to feast, where the prey is ground up by the powerful mandibles, and the liquid portion upon which the spider subsists, is sucked out. One fair-sized insect a week is sufficient to satisfy its hunger, because of its inactive existence, while it can live several months without food, even when most active, provided it has water. The spider will fight and destroy its own kind, but when equally matched the combatants spar for an advantage and rarely elnch unless one reinquishes its vigilance, when the other buries its fangs in it. It does not then relinquish its hold until the helpless captive dies of paralysis, induced by the poison injected. Death results in ten or twenty minutes. There are approximately seven or eight females to each male. The adult males are highly energetic, and unlike their phlegmatic mates, cannot be kept long in confinement. They wear themselves out in ceaseless endeavor to escape. This striking degree of activity is an essential attribute, since the females live often remote from one another and take no initiative in the courtship. The tarantula does not dig its own tunnel. It takes possession of some deserted burrow, usually that of a pocket gopher, which to the adult spider seems highly satisfactory. These burrows run, for the most part, horizontally, but the spider enters through a short vertical shaft. The burrows are two or three inches in diameter, but the spider at once restricts the entrance nearly to the diameter of its own body. It does this in a singular and interesting manner, affording a striking example illustrating the wide resourcefulness of lowly creatures. The spinnerets are two flexible and movable processes upon the under side of which are long rows of pores from which the silk is drawn out in a multiplicity of frail threads. With these organs, free particles of earth on the floor of the burrow are covered with a frail gauze which is then wadded together, along with much of the loose earth, which adheres to it. The wad is then carried up and pressed against the vertical wall, where it adheres, when it is further secured in place with more silk. The wads may be a half inch in diameter, and often many are required to finish the task. In autumn, the spider closes the entrance completely, frequently using a large quantity of material. It is then ready to pass the winter in a semi-lethargic state, partaking of no food. In the spring it digs its way out, the refuse being placed in a circle about the opening, where it renders the abode conspicuous. If the burrow proves untenantable another one is sought at once. There is evidence tending to show that the spider does not seek another habitat as long as the old one is suited to its needs; and quite often a number have been found that had lived at least three years in one place, judging by the number of discarded skins of suggestive size found in the burrow. During the growth of the tarantula, which requires about twenty years, it sheds its entire skin once each year—in mid-summer. The event is an important one to the spider, and as it is then quite helpless, the entrance is previously closed, a sheet of silk drawn across it suffices. In June two or three hundred eggs are produced in a mass which is at once covered with silk. The tunnel, unlike that of the trap-door spider, is not lined with silk; therefore to guard the eggs against contamination, while they are uncovered, the spider first incloses itself in a silk bag, sufficiently large to allow it to turn around freely. I think that this feature has not before been described. The discovery was made by watching spiders in captivity, numerous brief inspections having been made at suitable intervals. The subject's aversion to light and to being disturbed at this period is quite apparent, and any prolonged or too frequent inspection causes it to abandon the task, so the entire operation cannot be learned from a single spider. Unless it is captured within a few days of the time that the cocoon is to be made, the spider makes no effort whatever to preserve the eggs. The large envelope enclosing the spider is quite tall, but its distension is insured by attachments to the wall of the burrow; and while it is very thin it is so closely woven that the finest dust is excluded. The floor of this silken cell is raised a little above the floor of the burrow. Soon after the egg mass is properly inclosed in its covering, the fabric inclosing the spider is torn away. The finished cocoon is over an inch in diameter and shaped like a depressed globe. The young emerge from the cocoon in midsummer and after shedding their skins, are found to be the size of a house fly divested of its wings. They remain during the summer in the maternal domestie, seemingly a happy family; but in autumn they leave, one by one, each seeking some hole, suited to its size, which it proceeds to clean put and barricade in conventional manner. Nature will favor two, perhaps, out of as many hundreds, and protect them until they die of old age, at the end of twenty-five or thirty years.—From the Scientific American. A GOOD WORKING HYPOTHESIS. Things Getting Better and Scandals Only Incidents of Progress. Another college president has ranged himself on the side of those who believe that the world is getting better, not worse. President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, states his view on the subject without equivocation. He thinks the feeling is growing that men must be held strictly accountable for irregularities and overreaching quite apart from the strict letter of the law. This is a period of advancement. You can see it, he says, by talking to the men you meet while traveling, especially in the West, and with the average American—the lawyers, the manufacturers, the shopkeepers and business men. Some of the men whose business methods are now being held up to public criticism believe that they came into their fortunes by fair means. "We were like other men." "But," says President Butler, "we have set up a different and a higher code. The business tactics that were permitted then are looked upon as unethical to-day. We have advanced, and, advancing, have changed our attitude toward life." President Butler goes on to declare that "we have, also, a more exacting code of public life." Possibly our announced standards are not so very much higher, but public opinion does not now easily permit departure from the standards. At any rate, the doctrine that things are really getting better, notwithstanding all the exposure of scandals—that these refer to exceptions and are incidents of moral progress—is a very cheering and encouraging doctrine, and an excellent "working hypothesis."—Editorial In the Century.

Uncompromising Selfishness Last week a leading wholesale house in New York received a letter from a Western customer containing the cancellation of a large order. "If you do not accept this cancellation," said the letter, "we will never do business with you again." The New York house looked up its correspondence with the Western firm and discovered a letter from it dated, about a year ago. This letter contained an order for a large amount of goods and ended with these words: "If you do not send these goods immediately, we will never do business with you again." What a difference in conditions between 1906 and 1907. Then, eagerness to get orders filled; now, eagerness to have them cancelled. But the attitude of the customer was unchanged. It was that of uncompromising selfishness, the kind of attitude that aggravates the worse conditions of both boom times and panic.—Wall Street Journal. PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR 1900 New York City—Such a pretty, soft, full blouse as this one makes up charmingly in chiffon, in net, in all- New York City—Such a pretty, soft, full blouse as this one makes up charmingly in chiffon, in net, in all- BLOOMSBURY over lace and in every thin material. It can be used over a lining of matching or of contrasting color, and the ```markdown ``` yoke portion can be of silk or of velvet or any fabric that may be liked. In this instance, however, brown chiffon is made over a lining of white India silk, and this lining is faced with net to form the chemisette. The chemisette is banded with narrow soutache braid and trimmed with little gold buttons, while the yoke is made of taffeta edged with stitched bands that are trimmed with tiny buttons like those upon the chemisette, and the effect is altogether a chic and charming one. The waist is made with the gulpe lining, full front and backs. These last are shirred at the shoulders and gathered at their upper edges and arranged over the lining, which is faced to form the chemisette and the yoke is arranged over the whole. The pretty full sleeves are shirred at their lower edges and the linings are faced to form either the narrow or the deep cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and a quarter yards, twenty-one, two and a three-quarter yards twenty-seven or one and five-eighth yards forty-four inches-wide, with three-quarter yard eighteen-inches-wide for chemisette and cuffs for three-quarter-sleeves, one-half-yard of silk for trimming, one yard eighteen inches wide if deep cuffs are used. Colored Flannels. Colored flannels are said to coming thing in shirts. Tints in Trimmings. Wide bands of black fillet mesh, richly embroidered in peacock colors, with touches of bronze, gold or silver, are fast replacing the Japanese and Oriental trimmings which have held sway for so long. Some of the designs shown in tints of orange and burnt leather strike a particularly happy note in combination with the warm brown material so popular this season. Seven Gored Skirt. The skirt that is laid in pleats at the seams is the one that is quite sure to give graceful lines to the figure, and here is a model that is just sufficiently full for freedom and grace, and which is stitched flat over the hips while it flares at the lower edge. In the illustration the material is one of the striped novelties stitched with belding silk, but every skirtling material is appropriate, for the model suits those of lighter weight as well as the heavier suitings and, as it can be made either in walking length or with a slight train, it is adapted both to the street and for indoor wear. The stitched finish is a favorite one of the season, but banding can be applied if something more elaborate is liked. The skirt is made in seven gores 1 and is laid in two pleats at each seam and in inverted pleats at the centre back. The quantity of material required for the medium size is nine and a half yards twenty-seven, five and a quarter yards forty-four or fifty-two inches wide if material has figure or nap; eight and a half yards twenty-seven, four and three-quarter yards forty-four or four yards fifty-two inches wide if material has neither figure nor nap. Girdle, of Satin. One of the most attractive girdles is made of softest liberty, satin, ribon, six inches wide. The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 402 West Broad Street, At last it is reported that the city fathers will pave the Ogeechee road as far as the old battery park. While this paving is being done it would be well for the avenue leading into the colored cemetery to be looked after. Those young men who act so disrepectfully on the streets, many of whom use vulgar language, matters not who is near, should be taught a lesson that that they will not soon forget. They should be made to respect others. ONE of our professional men had some cards printed and in one corner it has in large letters: "Caution, Don't be Jim Crowed," yet this same professional man had these same cards printed in an office that will not give employment to a colored printer Consistency is a jewel that only a few men maintain. It is announced in the press dispatches that since the registration books were opened in Richmond county, only fifty colored men have registered. Dr. White and the Georgia Baptist will have to do some hustling to get out the voters. THE TRIBUNE man is not able to do much but Chatham's colored registration has already reached the hundreds We are in a position to do much good in this community for ourselves if we only would grasp the opportunities before us. In a business way, if we would unstintingly patronize each other, our present enterprises could increase and not only that but we would be enabled to give employment to so many of our deserving girls Not only good could be done in a business way, but also in our home life, our church life and all other avenues. The Southern Christian Recorder expressed a great truth in the following paragraph about our youths which should cause those concerned to take notice and act accordingly. "The greatest difficulty that confronts the colored American youth of to day is their instability. He is too quick to be come tired and too easily discouraged. He shirks work too persistently, he loves thoughtless and idle associates too dearly. He seeks easy, undignified positions too often, and is too plastic to withstand criticism. Our young men must learn to bravely and courageously withstand the hardships that will arise in every individual's life, no matter what position he may occupy, or what vocation he may elect to follow." HERETOFORE they have been lynching colored men for an unmentionable crime: The argument for it was only slightly reasonable, but we were against it for two reasons: First it was illegal, the next it would lead to lynching for for the least crime. Both of these reasons are justified, and now for the least pretense, if only the stealing of a chicken, the colored man is liable to be lynched in certain communities. Where this lawless method will end, only One knows, but it can be truthfully stated that those giving the offense will meet the greater retribution; it may not be soon, but it will eventually come, and from the One whose power is greater than man's. If you want the people to know that you are still doing business, advertise it. The columns of THE TRIRUNE is an excellent medium to do so. FOLLOWING the wake of Sherman's army, the American Missionary Association sent its truly consecrated missionaries into our beautiful southland to bring enlightenment to the millions of those who were just then liberated. How much good this association has done, and how well the beloved missionaries worked can be fully attested by the thousands of men and women who have matriculated in their schools and have grown into useful citizenship. This good work is being continued and today in Savannah this association is making it possible for hundreds of our boys and girls to secure that which they are denied in the public school, and for which the parents are paying but a pittance. The appreciation of these parents and our people in this community for what this benign institution has done and is doing has been but very slightly manifested. The time is now ripe for the citizens, especially those who have been directly benefitted to show their appreciation by doing something substantial for the Association, but more especially for Beach Institute. In a few days an opportunity will be given to assist in this direction and the response should be liberal. For over forty-five years our loyal white friends in the North have been contributing to our education, they have done so unstintingly, now let us prove to them that we appreciate what they have done and are doing, by doing something ourselves.

Church met last week in primary for the purpose of deciding upon those whom they will support at the Norfolk conference for officers. The selections made were Dr. J. S. Flipper, for Bishop, Rev. R. H. Singleton for Missionary Bishop and Dr. E. W. Lee for Financial Secretary. The Missionary Bishop is only a pro spective one. The delegates did themselves proud in deciding on Dr. Flipper for the Bishopric. His nomination meets the hearty approval of a large per cent of the members of his church and if those of other churches had the selection to make the good doctor would lead by hundreds of votes. Dr. Flipper is of proper bishopric timber, he is a high tooned christian gentleman, one of ability, dgnity, and of such bearing and learning as to add considerable force to this great church. His election as one of the bishops is assured, the only thing remains for the Georgia delegation to do is to work incessantly in order to have him lead all others in the race for this exalted position. PRIEST BEV. R. H. SINGLETON If the General Conference decides to elect a missionary bishop why then Rev. R. H. Singleton will fill the place very acceptably. He is well known in this city having pastored hear for a number of years. For the financial department no stronger candidates can be decided upon than Dr. K. W. Lee. In all Georgia will present to the General Conference a s-t of candidates, the peer of those presented by any other State. Complete harmony and aggressive work in the ranks of the Georgia delegation means much for Georgia at Norfolk. Blufton Dots.

Her Grandchild and Another Baby. Also Cured—Cuticura Proved Invaluable. "My brother had eczema three different summers.

When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daughter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady had had that body that they thought they would lose it.

Clean Watches With Bread. Perhaps the most novel use to which bread is put may be seen in the great watch factories at Elgin, Ill., where more than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. Supt. George E. Hunter of the watch factory is quoted as saving; "From the earliest times in the history of watchmaking it has been the custom of watchmakers to reduco fresh bread to the form of dough. This is done by steaming and kneading. They then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere in course of manufacture to pieces, as small as the parts of a watch. There are many parts of a watch, by the way, that are so small as to be barely visible to the naked eye. The oil is absorbed by this dough, and the chips stick to it, and there is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of its particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchmaking industry." —American Food Journal. EXCITED. "I'll never forget the first jackpot I ever won," said the veteran at the game.

We usually expect the doctor to put us on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. "Two years ago," writes this patient, "I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and billiousness; being allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found something for me to eat, at last. "He said it was a food called Grape-Nuts, and even as its golden color might suggest, it was worth its weight in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but at last consented to try this new food. "Well! it surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation, and every day since, theo I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape-Nuts. "I noticed improvement at once, and in a month's time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt like a new man.

Success in military operations has brought fame to many a civilized man, and so it is not surprising that one who has succeeded as a slayer of his fellow-men should gain a certain distinction in a tribe of barbarans. One of the most conspicuous figures among the Cheyenne Indians S. SPOTTED HAWK, A Cheyenne brave who has killed more white men than any other member of his tribe. In Montana is Spotted Hawk, a brave who is said to have killed, during his fighting days, more white men than any other member, of his tribe. Spotted Hawk is a man of striking appearance, especially when arrayed in his war costume, as he appears in the accompanying photograph. Well formed and athletic, he is an excellent marksman and a hunter of renown. His face is full of character and his intelligence is marked. He is looked up to with especial regard by the young men of the tribe, to whom his career appears romantic and inspiring. But the bad old times of hostility between the two races are now only a memory. Spotted Hawk, as well as the remainder of the tribe, is now at peace with the United States, and therefore it is not likely that he will during the coming years of his life add to his list of palefaced victims. Civilizing influences have taken hold upon him, and he no longer desires to wreak vengeance upon the dominating race.—Leslie's Weekly. Self Control Valuable.

In many of the California aplaries boys are being employed almost altogether to take care of the bees. It is only in swarming time that other help is needed. After a little experience a boy can care for many hives, and it is said that they are not stung as often as the men. It has been figured up that a farmer's boy who is given five hives of bees to begin with, and who will work industriously, can make more money in ten years than his father can on a farm of 160 acres.

An entire shoe-blacking outfit contained in a single article forms the subject of a recent patent grant. Heretofore it has been necessary to supply oneself with several brushes, one for cleaning the dust from the surfaces of the shoe and a dauber for applying the blacking or polish, a third one for rubbing, and sometimes a fourth for giving the final polish. All of these functions are filled in article shown in the accompanying cut. The daubing apparatus consists of a kind of fountain arrangement by which it is not necessary to touch it with the danger of soiling the hands.

Model Poultry House. The illustration shows the exterior view and ground plan of a poultry house intended for one colony of fowls. The house is twelve by sixteen feet on the ground, nine feet high in front and six feet in the rear. It has three windows, two on the south side and one on the east end, which admit plenty of sunlight. There are no windows on the north and west, thus making a warm corner for roosts and avoiding drafts. It is covered with shiplap, paper and sliding on the out- ALLEY WEST TERrace NEST73 BOTT BEEK Poultry House. side, is ceiled on the inside, and has a good shingle roof. A raised platform is built two and a half feet from the main floor in one end of the house. The roosts rest upon a frame fastened to the wall with hinges, so that it can be easily raised and the platform cleaned in a very short time each morning. The space under the roost platform and the entire remaining part of the house, except the alley, may be used for a scratching room. The alley is separated from the pen by wire netting except under the nests, where vertical slats should be placed two inches apart. Between these slats the chickens feed out of a trough that sits in the alley where they cannot get into it with their feet. Indications of Vitality in Corn. Brightness is not always a sure guide of the germinating power of seeds, although it is one of the things that will help us in selecting good seed. Many ridicule the idea of making germinating tests to determine the vitality of seed corn. They contend they have selected seed corn without testing unerringly for years, and they get good, strong seed. Maturity is the first thing to look for. The thoroughly matured ear of corn has the germ well encased, and it will take unusual heat, with moisture, to hurt it. The well ripened ear shows rather a dull color, rather than a bright, smooth color. The butt and tips should be bright and well dried out; the rows should set firmly and the grain should be dry enough to shell easily. All these are outward indications. Then go still further; dig down into the germ, and even if this is firm and bright better be on the safe-side and make a careful test in dirt. The outward signs of good seed ears are all right to go by when we are selecting out the ears, but they are not safe to plant by.—L. C. Brown, in Tribute Farmer. Poultry Hints. A fowl of medium weight is best for most poultry keepers. Among breeds which meet this requirement the Wyandottes stand high. A report just received from an Australian experiment station says six hens under observation have laid more than 1000 eggs in seven and one-half months. Last year at the same station six hens laid more than 1400 hens in a year. Egg-eating is a habit hens sometimes fall into. A good way to prevent this is to make the nests rather dark, give the hens straw to work in, and in the straw keep half a dozen china nest eggs for them to dig out. They learn that they cannot break the nest eggs, and do not try the real ones. There is no best way to feed hens, nor any best formula. Give them "a little of everything." keep them busy, never let them go hungry and they will do their best. The wastes from an ordinary kitchen will half keep a dozen hens and turn into eggs what would otherwise go into the garbage box. Try to get a good start with the bred-to-lay-kind. They are becoming more common every year. — Home Magazine. jous losses in many localities. Crows are worst with us, because bolder, as well as more numerous. They are very cunning also, and very difficult to trap or shoot. If one can be killed and hung in plain sight not another crow will venture near. One year a tame crow, captured when young, had his home, in a coop in the poultry yards. He was very noisy, and not a crow came anywhere near its while he remained. But he was such a nuisance that we disposed of him. We had to shut him up every morning or not an egg would we have gathered. Since then we have had our troubles with crows. They are worst when the chickens are small, but I have known them to carry off those upward of a pound in weight. White chickens are more often, caught than colored ones, as they are more easily seen. Crows may sometimes be caught in steel traps baited with eggs, but are very wary. If chicks are shut in the coops at night they are safe, till some one is about to let them out, and these marauders often come at daybreak. One New York State farmer's wife told me that hawks, which formerly took many of her chicks, gave them a wide burt after her little girl, in a red dress, made the yard her playground. Something alive and in motion frightens them away.—Farming. The Udder. The illustrations show some of the types ofudders that are more or less desirable in the dairy cow. At A is shown as clearly as possible an ideal udder. The udder need not be over large. It should have sufficient capacity, however, to allow the continued growth of numerous cells for the manufacture of fat and its emulsification with the other constituents of milk. It should be egeny balanced before and behind, and the central suture should be well developed and strongly attached to the body. It should be covered with soft, fine hair, be free from fleshiness and closely attached to the body. It should come well forward on the stomach, stand out well behind the thigh, and be carried well up on the posterior portion of the body. It should, of course, have good circumference, and if properly proportioned it will add beauty, as well as utility to the cow. At B is shown the udder as it should collapse on itself, like a glove, after the milk has been extracted 'A poorly balanced udder is shown at G; it is hung too far forward on the A B C D E F G H Different Types of Udders. stomach, and the teats are not evenly, placed, resulting in a great inconvenience in milking. At D may be seen an udder deficient in the fore part; at E an udder that is also lacking in balance, the teats are not evenly placed, and there is not sufficient development of the anterior region. At F is shown a small udder. There is not enough room here to permit the rapid elaboration of milk, which is of prime importance, as it is a well known fact that a comparatively small quantity of milk in the udder when milking commences. It is likewise thought by scientists that the ability of a cow to produce milk abundantly is determined by the number of cells, and hence the area available for the distribution of blood and other fluids through the udder tissues is too restricted in this instance. At small udder is therefore a poor sign of deep milking powers, though a large udder, owing to the character of tissues that may enter into its formation, is not always a sign of a good milker. At G is shown an udder much cut up, with very large and poorly placed teats; it is what may be termed a restricted udder, though rather elongated. At H appears another form of udder often met with, which, like that shown at G, is somewhat funnel-shaped in character. It has not sufficient rotundity, does not come well forward on the stomach, and is lacking in development in the posterior region. The Indian is not the greatest saint nor the greatest sinner.

JOHN F. CARSON. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Sunday the Rev. Dr. John F. Carson, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, preached a stirring sermon on "Signs of Progress." The text was from 1 Chronicles 12:32: "Men that had understanding of the times." Here are some of the things he said: Any student of our age will find in existing conditions much that wars against truth and righteousness and honor, and that threatens manhood and the social order. In the political world there is corruption. Votes are sold to the highest bladder from the Senate to the ward caucus; men, whose only creed is greed, whose only patriotism is pelf, band themselves together to control political situations; certain public officials are growing rich on harvests reaped from the black fields of vice and crime. In the commercial world there is dishonesty. For personal gain of wealth or power men sacrifice principle, compromise conscience, become reckless operators, unscrupulous gamblers, bandits of banking, highwaymen of finance. In the industrial world there is unfairness and injustice. Corporations ignore the interest of and press their workmen, crush competition, defraud the people; working men band themselves together to force employers to their terms, forbid men to work except on terms fixed by a union, limit apprentices and so deny young men their rights, enforce their demands by violence, p.y homage to criminal leadership. In the social world there are wrongs. The rich domineer in their swollen pride and flounder their extravagances in the face of the poor; the poor sin and suffer, because herded in poverty and squalor. In all our life is the spirit of unrest and discontent. Satiety and langual weariness in parlor and salon, suffering and sighing in workshop and in tenement. If you tell me that there are unscrupulous men who operate schemes of high finance, I would remind you that the sentiment of the day is so strong that many of these men find it convenient to seek homes in other lands. If you tell me that there is corporate theft and labor intolerance, I would remind you that, as never before, there is a demand for the play of justice and equity in all relations. If you tell me that the rich are defiantly extravagant and that the poverty of the poor is appalling, I would remind you that there never has been a time when most people were slaves, and I would challenge your thought to the fact that there never has been a time when the middle class was so well off as it is to-day. If you call my attention to the deplorable housing of the East Side poor, I will call to your mind the report of the Missionary Society for the Poor of New York, issued in 1817, which deplored the existence of small houses, each crowded with from four to twelve living in a poor two and three families living in a poor house. If you tell me of the saloons and brothels that are ruining manhood and ruling in politics, patronized and protected by political influence, I will remind you that when the population of New York was 110,000 there were 1489 licensed retail liquor dealers and not less than 6000 "abandoned females" added to the vice and shame. Of course, there is more actual sin and shame in a city of four millions of people than there was in a city of a hundred thousand, but I am persuaded that an honest study of conditions will disclose that New York City is proportionately better to-day than it was a hundred years ago. There are dark, deadly things in our conditions, but the moral tone and the ethical standard is higher than it ever was, and our black things appear all the blacker because they are viewed the hardest of all black backgrounds. There are gigantic evil lives, but a gigantic battle is being waged against them. The struggle is bitter, but there are signs that it is not fruitless. The throes of to-day are the birth pangs of a better to-morrow. The light of that to-morrow begins to dawn. Its sun is piercing the darkness. The east is aglow. The gleams of a new radiance begin to illumine the horizon. First. I call your attention to the demand for the play of righteousness in all our life—political, social and commercial. There is a new and wide ethical awakening in all our land. Never has the demand been so insistent that men shall be honest in the administration of sacred trusts committed to them. And the great majority of our financiers are nobly meeting that command. We are living in a period of investigation and criticism. It is well. It is a healthful tone, if men are sane enough to discriminate. But men are not always that sane. In the presence of these investigations suspicion creeps into the mind and men are tempted to think that all men are dishonest because some men have been proved thieves and robbers. It is a fatal mistake. I am persuaded that there is more honest fiber in the life of to-day than there ever has been. The very investigations which are being conducted to-day are evidence of a finer and higher ethical sense than has heretofore existed. Second, I call your attention to the demand for the abolition of such practices as war against the common weal. A little while ago that demand was for the abolition of the lottery. A Christian postmaster put the Louisiana lottery out of business. Just now the demand in New York is for the abolition of race track gambling. Third, I call your attention to the triumphs of the temperance movement. The change of sentiment on the temperance question is one of the most radical that the country has ever known. Twenty years ago the demand for the abolition of the saffron awakened a smile or provoked a sneer. To-day that demand is the fixed purpose of thousands of our fellow citizens and it is being fulfilled. Five States—Malne, Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Georgia—are now prohibition, and in one more state, Arkansas, are active on January 1, 1909. Six States of the Union prohibit the sale or manufacture of intoxicating drinks. The progress 'of the temperance movement in the South is one of the most significant and inspiring signs of our times. Two States, Georgia an' Alabama, have enacted prohibition laws. Ninety-five per cent. of North Carolina has declared against the saloon. Mississippi has a prohibition Legislature and a prohibition Governor, and ninety per cent. of the State has barred liquor. Tennessee has voted the saloon out of all but four of its ninety-six counties. Kentucky has nearly a hundred of its 119 counties entirely free from saloons, and seventy-five per cent. of its population are living in prohibition territory. 'Two-thirds of Louisiana has no saloons. In Florida three-fourths of the State has voted no license. In Texas 148 of the 246 counties have wiped out the saloon, while fifty-one other counties are partially prohibition, so that in only forty-seven counties the state liquor-frailty gold. In South Carolina out half the counties have voted no license. In Virginia seventy-two counties out of 118; in West Virginia thirty out of fifty-five, and in Maryland fourteen out of twenty-three prohibit the sale of liquor. Twenty out of twenty-seven millions of people south of the Mason and Dixon line live in no liquor territory. There are more drinking places, legal and illegal, in New York than in the whole South. The temperance movement is taking hold on the North. By a majority of 18,000 out of a total vote of a little over 100,000, the new State of Oklahoma declared for prohibition. Maine, Kansas and North Dakota are enforcing their prohibition laws with new vigor. Two of the three counties of Delaware have prohibited the saloon. Fifty-two per cent. of the people of Ohio and Indiana are living in prohibition territory. -Prohibition claims fifty-eight of the seventy-five counties of Arkansas. The rapid progress of the movement may be learned from the story of Missouri, On January 1, 1905, there were three counties which prohibited the sale of liquor; to-day sixty-four of the 115 counties of the State prohibit the traffic. In nineteen other States advanced temperance legislation has been enacted, while there has not been a single measure adopted by any State favorable to the liquor traffic. An effort is being made in the present Congress to secure such legislation as will respect the rights and policy of the States which see fit to prohibit the liquor traffic. There is not a single case on record where a county, or city, or town that closed its saloons has reported a decrease of business. Much is being sold by the liquor interests about the money which they and allied interests pay to the city, State and National Government for taxes and licenses and the Philadelphia Liquor Dealers' Association recently declared in resolution adopted by their convention, "To eliminate the saloon would be to undermine the foundation of the country's revenues." This country does not depend upon blood money the country would be better off with traffic and taxation upon every other business would be lessened. For every dollar that the liquor interests pay to the country it costs the country $20 to maintain the asylums, homes, almshouses, jails and such institutions as are created by the liquor habit and to maintain the courts and prosecuting machinery. The saloon is a highwayman of the baser sort and a pirate of the worst type. It has simply been tolerated because it seemed impossible to get rid of it. But now the issue is drawn, the battle is on. The foe is adroit, cunning, resourceful, unscrupulous, desperate. It is marshalling its forces for a confront in impact which will shake the land. Christian this foe with inflexible and deterined purpose. In fading the conflict it should be clearly understood that the warfare is not against a legitimate business, a business which men have an inherent right to pursue. The traffic is on a status entirely different from any business enterprise. There is no inherent right to sell liquor. The Christian men of America, if they were wise enough, could take America for any moral issue. The manhood of America can rule. But it must put principle above party and conscience above compromise and duty above ease. The manhood of America, united in the effort and intelligently directed, can, if it will, put an end to the greatest economic and moral plague of the age by outlawing the saloon. There are signs of progress—a radical demand for the play of honesty in business life, a new movement for the abolition of gambling in all places, a determined purpose to abolish the saloon. These movements are in harmony with the Divine economy and purpose and that is the assurance of their triumph. God is in His world and God is working. There never was an age in which so many people were working for the benefit of life. With an all-controlling purpose, begotten of faith in God and nurtured in love of man, multitudes are working to better the conditions of life, and that Christ, in whom God is reconciling the world unto Himself, is drawing men into the circle of His infinite love, into the sway of His beneficent purpose and keeping them there until He shall come to reign in all the world. Getting Better of Commonplace. Steady-going goodness is harder than spectacular heroism. It calls for more endurance and more character to Fold to the highest standards of life in the commonplaces of every day routine than to nerve oneself up for a single and exceptional effort. The five-mile run is more exastringent than the 100-yard dash. Yet this prolonged and severer test of every day living is the only true test, and it is the one which we must all meet. Moreover, the best way to be ready for the emergency test, when it comes, is through the same day in the red-letter-day spirit. No day was common to Christ, nor*will it be to those who make every day His.—Sunday-School Times.

Girl's Responsibility By Beatrice Fairfax Make him understand that he can not treat you with familiarity; that he can not be a friend of yours if he is vulgar in word or deed, nor if he is intemperate. If he loves you and secs that you expect all this he will try to be worthy of you. But you must never lower his ideal of you or you will immediately lose your influence over him. If you drink a cocktail you can not expect him to refrain. If you laugh at vulgar stories you can not expect that he will refrain from repeating them in your presence. Let him see the high value that you place upon honor, and never swerve one inch from your standard. Do not, of course, expect him to be a demigod, for no man is that! but do demand that he be an honorable, temperate, manly man. Don't nag. The nagging girl never has any lasting-influence over a man, but keep steadily to your ideal of, what a good man should be. Forgive him if he occasionally has lapses, but on no account promise to marry him until you are quite sure that he is the kind of a man that you would be proud of as your husband and the father of your children. The girl who marries a man to reform him, deliberately enters upon a life of misery and failure. The man who enjoys the friendship of a nice girl should be deeply appreciative of the privilege. If he takes her to places of amusement, those places should be absolutely above suspicion. He should see that she reaches home in proper time, and should never introduce her to any man or woman of whose good reputation he is not quite sure. Now, you see, girls, for a man to treat you in that way it is necessary that he should look on you as something very pure and precious. Never encourage a man to speak to you unless he has been properly introduced. You cannot expect a man to have as much respect for a girl who makes eyes at him and allows him to speak to her without introduction as he would for the girl whom he had to ask to be introduced to. Of course, I know that once in a while a friendship formed in that way will turn out all right, but it is a great risk and not at all the right way of doing things. Be dignified and modest, and you will find that the average man will treat you with respect, and that he will be anxious to stand well in your eyes. He will know that if he wants to win your regard he must live up to your standard of what a man should be. It is your duty to make that standard a high one.—New York American. The Law Against Killing Deep Rooted Feeling Against Murder Exists in Most Animals..... By Ernest Thompson Seton. Wild animals often fight for the mastery, usually over a question of mates, but in virtually all cases the fight is over when one yields. The vanquished can save himself either by submission or by flight. What is commoner than to see the weaker of two dogs disarm his conqueror by groveling on the ground? The victor in a fight between two cats is satisfied when the foe files; he will not pursue him twenty yards. In either case, had the enemy been of another race, the victor would have followed and killed him. What makes the difference? Obviously not a reasoned-out conclusion, but a deep instinctive feeling—the recognition of the unwritten law against unnecessarily killing one's own kind. There are doubtless exceptions to this. Cannibalism is recorded of many species, but investigation shows that it is rare except in the lowest forms, and among creatures demoralized by domestication or captivity. The higher the animals are, the more repugnant does cannibalism become. It is seldom indulged in except under dire stress of famine. Nothing but actual starvation induced Nansen's dogs to eat the flesh of their comrades, although it was offered to them in a disgusted form. Experience shows me that it is useless to bait a wolf trap with a part of a dead wolf. His kinsman shun it in disgust, unless absolutely famished. Obviously no race can live by cannibalism, and this is instinctively recognized by all the higher animals. In other words, the law against murder has been hammered into them by natural selection, and so fully established that not only will they abstain from preying on one of their own tribe, but will rally to rescue one whose life is threatened. The fact that there are exceptional cases does not disprove the law among beasts any more than among men.—From The Century. Good Wealth and Bad By Dr. Felix Adler. is entitled to a fortune beyond his needs. The extreme radicals, that is say the Socialists, assert that all wealth is corrupt, on the ground that the employer and the capitalist do not contribute substantially to the product. Therefore the part the latter gains is stealing. I do not agree with this because the employer and the capitalist contribute valuably to product and therefore are privileged to a part of the gains. I do say that under the present system, however, the game is playlv many times with loaded dice, sp to speak. It doesn't mean that you merchants are sharpers. But the system gives you unfair advantage. There is a distinction between business and industry. In the former a man may start as a huckster and in his wanderings finally acquire a store and credit and go in for himself eventually. This is not true of industry. A factory, hand in many cases is not able to rise. He can't get away to study things around him. He is tied down to a certain place and is a fraction of industry. When you talk about a man rising from the bottom to the top you refer to the business man. I join with President Roosevelt in his view of riches. I applaud the man who has a million dollars or so that he has gotten honestly and say that's proper and right. If that person has been to a higher standard he is entitled to his million. entitled to his million. When wealth flows in excess of what you require distribute freely of your own accord. In this way you square yourself with your finer senses. One of the wealthiest men of this country goes about proclaiming that every time he sees a very rich man die he sees him die in a state of sin. I can't see why he should die in a state of sin. I think it possible for a man to be a success in business and at the same time save his soul alive. T a question of m- yields.

Man sets a high standard for woman, and she must live up to it if she wishes to wield a good influencer over him. * You must make the man who is attentive to you realize that. you respect yourself and that you demand that he respect you also. HERE is a deep-rooted feeling against murder, in most animals. Their senses tell them that this is one of their own race, and their instinct that, therefore, it is not lawful prey. New-born rattlesnakes will strike instantly at a stranger of any other species, but never at one of themselves. I have seen a young mink, still blind, suck at a mother cat till fed, then try to kill her. Though a blood-thirsty creature, it would never have attacked its own mother. Wild animals often fight for the mastery, usually over --- RESIDENT Roosevelt has drawn a distinction between wealth which he condemns and that which he approves. He does not desire to create the impression that he is engaged in a crusade against wealth righteously gained, but is aggressively inclined against swollen fortunes. It is in his mind to bridle the corporations. Undoubtedly this reflects the sentiment of a preponderance of the people and is significant for that fact. One can hardly imagine a Chinaman without his queue. Yet this mode of wearing the hair is of comparatively recent origin, dating back only some four or five hundred years, a very short time as antiquity counts in China. The fashion was introduced by the conquering Manchus, who succeeded in making it national by an edict that no criminal should be allowed to wear a queue. It must be admitted that the queue is a graceful and becoming method of dressing the hair, and the shaven front part of the head gives an effect of dignity and benevolence to Celestial faces that they would not otherwise possess. In fact, fashion does for the Chinaman what Nature does for the Western type when she dignifies and distinguishes a man by depriving him of hair on the top of his head. In China the queue is the sign of manhood, and no American boy years so ardently for his first pair of pants as the Chinese boy to have the front of his head shaved and the queue fairly started on its way. Then he feels himself a man at last, and condescends to his sisters and anbs the babies of a smaller know whose hair is still tied in an akknet with red cord or ribbon. The etiquette of the queue is arbitrary and complex, and on occasion it plays quite a part. No self-respecting Chinese gentleman would be seen with his queue tip up in a knot; it must always hang its full glossy length, finished off at the tip with a silk tassel. Your "No. 1 boy" may occasionally put the end in his pocket, if it is likely to be in the way, but he will take it out before coming into your presence, unless he wishes to be disrespectful. I have noticed, too, that a Chinaman on a bicycle always takes the very necessary precaution of putting the end of his queue safely in his pocket. The poorer Chinese and the coolie class roll their up into a knot, or twist it round the head, for it would be decidedly in the way when they are working. This simple fact marks the great social division between the better Chinese class and the coolies, and once a coolie has worn his queue hanging, down his back, he will, if he has any social ambition, do anything rather than knot it up again. A house coolie of my acquaintance was, on one occasion, brought into the dining-room to assist in waiting on some extra guests, and untied his queue for the occasion. But he could never be persuaded to tie it up again, and had to be dismissed since he made but an indifferent house boy, though an excellent coolie. A Chinaman takes great pride in his queue, and devotes more time and attention to it than to any other portion of his person. Barbershops are, naturally, extremely plentiful and always well patronized. Not only does the barber shampoo the hair and shave the front of the head of his customers, but he also turns his attention to their ears, and scrapes their eyelids in a horrible fashion, giving rise to much of the ophthalmia so prevalent in China. The itinerant barber is also to be met everywhere. His customers are the coolies, who are content with less careful work, and who do not at all object to being shaved in the street, or wherever they may be. The razor of the street barber is a rough piece of metal, needing frequent stropping, and he uses hot water and no soap. All purely Chinese queues are black, though I have seen a decidedly brown one, only to discover that the owner was not purely Chinese. And yet, though all of the same color, there is no monotony in the queues. There are few things more fascinating than a study of the variety of "pigtails" in the streets of a Chinese city. There is the long, fat, rope-like tail of beautifully-braided, glossy hair, the end reaching to the knees, and all the various gradations between that and the pathetic thin gray wisp, that has much ado to reach the bent shoulders of an old man! Then there is the queue that commences so promisingly at the top, where it is thick and heavy, and suddenly off into a thin string, that one strongly suspects is mostly silk cord. There is the queue that never makes any pretense at being luxurant, a thin, long, miserable specimen, resembling nothing so much as a boot-lace. There is character, too, in the queue. I have one in my mind now, heavy and thick, always beautifully braided, with never a hair escaping, neatly tied at the top, and with a silk tassel on the end. Quietly and decorously it lies on the rich blue silk "Cheong Sam" of the polished and courteous owner. And there was another queue I used to know, belonging to a young boy who waited on me at table for a time. I have lost sight of both boy and queue, and fear both have come to an unintelligly end! I never could believe that lively tail was merely hair; it was never still a moment, but twisted and collated on the slightest provocation. Its swung, like a pendulum, or described flourishes with the boy's impudent face at the centre of a flying circle of black tail; boy and tail were most of the time inextricably mixed! It flounced round the dining-room, flashing within an inch of a plate of soup, and clearing it by a miracle, hitting the other boys in the face and disappearing before they knew what hat touched them! One tiffin time, in a particularly sportive mood, it outraged all decency by springing up and knocking the bread from my plate, and then, as if satisfied with that crowning act, the queue disappeared, and the boy with it. The retiring, modest Chinaman ties his queue with a small piece of black cord at the top of the braid, to insure that no stray hairs shall become loose; but a Chinaman who wishes to be known as a man of fashion and something of a rake, braids his queue rather loosely at the neck. *On the death of a parent the queue must not be combed, nor the front hair shaved, for a period of one hundred days, though this point of eliquette is seldom observed literally. For deep mourning a strand of white cord is braided into the queue about half-way down, and a little later on this is changed for a blue one. For a wedding or festival, on any occasion for joy, the queue is braided with red, the "happy" color in China. Though a Chinaman does not have to shave his chin, since he can rarely cultivate more than a few stray hairs there, yet he is not free from the tyranny of the barber, and frequently has cause to complain that the barber shaves too vigorously. The queue suffers from the encroachments of the razor, and, as a thick and heavy queue is the ambition of all Chinamen, the limit has to be extended, and a little more land, as it were, taken in. This is a most painful process for the onlooker, whatever it may be for the Chinaman most concerned. First comes the little stubby fringe, sticking straight up all around the head like a halo, at length it is long enough to fall over, but it is quite a long time before the additions are of sufficient length to be included in the braid, and the hanging strands of hair are far from neat. The punishment for queue-cutting is death, and a Chinaman would almost rather lose his life than his queue. Criminals have their heads, shaved when they enter jail, but their first care when they come out is to purchase a false braid, for no one would employ a queueless Chinaman. With the spread of Western civilization, however, it is becoming more and more common for Chinese to adopt European or American dress and the Western style of wearing the hair; but one cannot help hoping that China will retain for many years her distinctive and graceful queue. - Leslie's Weekly. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. The average weight of a Greenland whale is 100 tons, which is equal to that of eighty-two elephants.

Serving twenty-nine years in the pulpit without a penny in the way of salary, during which time he built the church building largely through his own efforts while he himself was the main contributor as well as its principal support, that is the record of Rev.

This may offend your host or lead to the soiling of his carpet." An admonition that might well be observed in the present day. "Above all," he says, "do not lick your plate; it is an act that ill becomes a cat, let alone a gentleman." Reorganization of the Chinese army, which began three years ago, is making steady headway. The Pelho army is already completely organized. It consists of three divisions of 9000 men each, formed on the European model. To this Pelho army of thirty-six infantry battalions, twelve cavalry squadrons and six engineer battalions, there is a reserve of 40,000 trained and disciplined soldiers. Six other divisions, more or less regularly constituted, occupy the northern garrisons of the Celestial Empire, or the immediate neighborhood of Peking, and form the northern army. Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme court is said to be the author of this story: A witness testified in a certain case that a person named Mary was present when a particular conversation took place, and the question was asked: "What did Mary say?" This was objected to, and after some discussion the judge ruled out the question. An exception to this decision was immediately taken, and on appeal the higher court reversed the verdict and ordered a new trial on the ground that the question should have been answered. At the second trial the same inquiry was propounded and elicited the information that "Mary said nothing." - Up-to-Date Bible History. An old Dutch Bible found in the Humansdorp district of Cape Colony has a frontispiece depicting Calm shooting Abel with a blunderbuss.—London Globe. The time for the convening of the grand lodge is near at hand. This coming grand communication is expected to be a record breaking one in every respect for good. Each lodge in the jurisdiction is expected to render a better report than ever before. The annual reports from the lodges are to be in the office of the grand secretary on or before the first of May. Each officer of the lodges must see that this report is rendered on time. As yet some of the lodges have failed to send in their election returns. Brethren, why are you so slothful? In the jurisdiction, we have nearly three hundred lodges. Of this number not one hundred have complied with the edicts of the grand lodge in forwarding to the grand secretary the two dollars required for painting of the home. Brethren, remember that it very necessary for this much-needed improvement to be made and at once. This cannot be done unless the dellinquent lodges do their duty by sending in the money. Do so at once, brethren. Don't be a laggard. On account of removing his place of business, for the past several days the grand secretary has had a deluge of letters on his desk awaiting replies. He has nearly answered them all. It is hoped that the brethren will excuse the delay. We have a number of brethren who generally visit our office whenever they come to the city. We wish to inform them and the other brethren, that we have removed our office to 462 West Broad street, near the Union Station, and only a few blocks south of the Central Railroad depot. It will be easier for the brethren to reach us than at our old office. We will be glad to welcome all brethren who call. "Nothing succeeds like success," and that is what has marked the Nesonic Relief Association from its incipiency. Secretary Treasurer W. C. Thomas reports several thousand dollars as having been received and the great interest that the brethren all over the jurisdiction are envicing in the same. Here and there a few disgruntled ones may be found who are, no doubt, chronic kickers, but we are glad to say that no attention is being paid to them. They are treated just as they should be. The association will be of untold benefit to the order and the brethren. On next Wednesday night Eureka Lodge, the mother lodge of the state, will celebrate her forty-second anniversary. The members of the lodge always look forward to this event with much pleasure. Forty-two years ago Masonry began in Georgia, and it has since had a wonderful growth. The brethren who have the best in interest of the craft at heart should rejoice over the fact that peace and harmony are prevalent the state over. Among our subscribers we have a number of brethren and lodges. Some of them are behind with their subscription. We wish to notify them that on account of a recent ruling of the postoffice department, we can not send the paper to those who are a year in arrears. Unless the subscription is paid up before April 1st we will be compelled to discontinue the paper. Take due and timely notices, brethren, and govern yourselves accordingly. In the Sweet Now and Now. In the Sweet Now and Now. Brethren, let us not forget that Masonry is founded upon principles that have stood the test of time. It stands today the peer of any order or institution, and its future is firmly established as the Rock of Ages. Let us not forget that Mussons, though good and true men, are governed by ancient charges and laws whose tenets are truth; whose cardinal virtue is justice. Standing upon these undying principles, gazing with an undimmed eye of faith and hope into that perfect realm beyond the shadow, where the broad mantle of charity (Dylinne Love) will cover many of our faults and folibles, let us all pull together on the same cable of unity—bound together by the strong ties of brotherly love, not wait for the future Bye and Bye, but make it Sweet Now and Now.—Robt. E. French, Nehaska. Above all things Masons ought to be fair-minded and just men. They have been instructed in a system which is saturated by broad and manly sentiments, and they have been taught to be fair and generous towards others in all their dealings with them. All the more painful is it to see a member of the fraternality narrow and prejudiced in his thought—harsh, suspicious and vindictive in feeling. Brethren who are hasty and inconsiderate in their judgments, who are quick to surmise evil in another and allow base suspicions to work an injury to him and whose justifiable recentments often so hard to bear, are-by no means the best types of Masonic character. The true Mason, who has imbibed the real spirit of the system in which he has been instructed, is generous, magnanimous and just. His is the heart which think- eth no evil. His is the love which abdeth.-Canadian Craftsman. Warn the Waywardi A Masonic trial was in progress in a certain lodge. Several brethren were very diligently prosecuting a wayward brother for an infraction of the moral code. The brother had no one to defend him, but one good Mason took compassion on him and assumed charge of his case. The evidence clearly showed that the brother was guilty, but it also showed the fact that while the brethren who were prosecuting him had knowledge of the misconduct for some time not one of them had ever gone to him, laid a kindly hand on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear that good counsel which was his due. It soon became apparent to the members present that while the brother in question had been at fault, several of his brethren had been equally faulty in not living up to one of the important duties imposed upon every Mason. The result was that the brother got out with a reprimand. The above case only goes to prove that very many Masons are prone to prefer charges against a wayward brother without first going to him and assisting him to reform. The time to prefer charges is when the good offices of Masonry have proven of no avail.—nols Freemason. Every Master Mason proves his allegiance to the Masonic craft by his actions. EVANGELISTIC SERMON. At the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church of Folkston, Ga., Elder James I Hawze of Homerville, Ga., the noble and powerful evangelist, arrived here on Sunday last, and the officers of the church invited him to preach on Sunday night. He agreed to preach for them. Devotional exercises were conducted by Deacon S. Council, after which Elder Hawze read for a lesson the 5th chapter of Ephesians, and took for his subject: "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." His sermon was one of the best ever heard in this church. WAGE QUESTION TACKLED. Messrs. Knapp and Noill Take Up Knotty Problem. Chairman Knapp of the Interstate commerce commission and Commissioner of Labor Noill, as mediators under the Erdman act, began their conferences in Washington Tuesday respecting the proposed reduction of wages of employees of the Southern railway. The mediators instituted their work at a conference with President Finley, General Manager Ackert, General Counsel Thom and Comptroller Plant. No details of the conference were made public. COAST LINE SETTLES TROUBLE. Wage Scale Satisfactory to All Parties at Interest Agreed Upon. The general committee of adjustment of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers on the Atlantic Coast Line system adjourned its biennial sessions in Wilmington, N. C., Saturday, at which, incidentally, was also taken up the proposed reduction in the wage scale. The engineers stated that the conferences with the railroad officials were entirely satisfactory. RIX M. ROBINSON SELECTED To Succeed Northup as Postmaster at Pensacola, Florida. The senate Tuesday received from the president the nomination of Rix M. Robinson to be postmaster at Penzacol. The Roblassen is named to succeed postmaster Northup, who was rejected by the senate a year ago. In spite of the rejection Northup has been continued in office, which fact recently provoked an inquiry by the senate. The department responded that it was unacquainted with the facts and that the continuance of Mr. Northup in office was an oversight. SLAYER OF PRIEST ON TRIAL Giuseppe Alla is Facing a Jury at Denver, Colorado. A jury was found at Denver Monday to try Giuseppe Alla, charged with the murder of Rev. Leo Helnrichs, the priest, who was shot to death at the altar of St. Elizabeth's Roman Catholic church February 23. The session of the court was taken up in the examination of the thirty-three talesmen before Judge Greely Whitford. PREACHER COURTS LIMELIGHT Charges Chancellor Day With Defamation Character of Roosevelt The Rev. G. A. Cooke, pastor of the Methodist church of Brandon, VT, who has brought charges against-Rev.
