VOL. XXIII. NORTH CAROLINA "DRY" TOTAL VOTE CAST 175,000 Prohibition Leaders Say Majority May Probably Reach Fifty Thousand, State Went Wet in 1881. Raleigh, N. C.-The state of North Carolina voted Tuesday on the liquor question and the prohibitionists carried the state by a majority close to 50,000.

The anti-prohibitionists made their greatest efforts in about twenty counties while the prohibitionists made a general fight all over the state. The saloons and dispensaries will all close December 31st under the law. In the counties the largest majurities for prohibition are: Buncombe, 3,200; Roberson, 2,000; Cleveland, 2,000; Gaston, 2,000; Guilford, 2,000; Mecklenburg, 1,800; Madison, 1,500; Haywood, 1,500; Randolph, $1,500; Redell, 1,200; Rutherford, 1,100.

While Admiral Duncan had conducted the cruise around the Horn and the naval officer was beaming with smiles as he struggled along on cruisers to his carriage.

THOUSANDS HOMELESS As Result of Raging Floods in Vicinity of Fort Worth. KNOWN DEAD ONLY SEVEN Property Loss Cannot as Yet Be Estimated, as Hundreds of Buildings, Stock and Sheep Were Destroyed. Fort Worth, Texas. Seven people are known to be dead, 5,000 are homeless, a dozen or more are reported to have been killed in Fort Worth and North Fort Worth as a result of the greatest rise in the history of the Trinity river watch, beginning at 7:30 Saturday evening, reached a climax at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Five of the deaths occurred Sunday and two Saturday night. Following the torrential rains of Saturday and Sunday a volume of seven inches, the river went three inches above the record-breaking flood of 1869. Stock valued at many thousands of dollars, including 2,500 sheep, penned up in the stock yards in North Fort Worth, was washed down stream and destroyed. The property loss cannot be estimated as yet. The paralysis of railroad services is almost total. The Interurban has discontinued service between Fort Worth, was washed down stream and will be restored by tomorrow morning. The Rock Island made no effort to operate trains, neither did the Fort Worth and Denver. The Frisco detoured, in fact, not a road escaped more or less damage. Row boats from Handley, White City and Lake Como hauled to the scene of overflow on street cars, wagons and in patrol wagons, figured prominently in the work of rescue. A woman, a child and three men represent the dead victims of the flood. The dead body of the woman floated past the foot of East Fourth street about daylight Sunday and created a panic among negro refugees. Many persons are missing and the police authorities believe this only the beginning of a jong list of deaths in the flood. Not until the water has receded will it be possible to tell the exact loss in life and property. Not a vestige of the big wagon bridge over the Trinity, near the steel foundry, was visible at 5 o'clock this morning, doors, girders and abutments were swept down stream and for a time threatened the lives of thousands of sightseers congregated on the City Park bridge and approaches.

The flood at nightfall passed the record made by, the rise in 1866, 52 feet, when business houses situated in what is now a poorer residence section of Dallas were swamped. That same section of the city tonight is under several feet of water and thousands have lost their household effects, while the residence section of North Dallas is cut off from the business part of the city so far as street car lines are concerned.

X.—"In view of the existing mental condition of Harry K. Thaw, the safety of the public is better insured by his remaining in custody and under observation until he has recovered or until such time as it shall be reasonably certain that there is no danger of a recurring attack of the delusion or whatever it may be." This is the decision reached by Justice Morschauser, of the state supreme court, in a decision handed down Monday in the matter of Thaw's application for release from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane on a writ of habeas corpus. Evelyn Thaw, through her counsel, has withdrawn the suit which she instituted some time ago for the annulment of her marriage to Harry K. Thaw.

The cut in this city swells the number of cotton operatives in New England whose wages had been reduced this spring to about 170,000. Washington, for the second time within twenty-four hours, the house Saturday, following a discussion of two hours, rejected the mall subsidy provision for organ steamships. Previously, similar action was taken with respect to the senate amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, reducing the number of days upon which welghings of mail are to be conducted, with the result, that the postoffice bill for the third time, was sent back to conference, all other features of the bill being agreed to be unanimous consent. As soon as the action of the house was announced in the senate, Senator Penrose moved to recede from the remaining senate amendments and discharge the conferences. The motion was carried, and the congressional work on the bill thus completed. The effect is to leave the mail subsidy provision out of the bill, and thus effectually dispose of it for the present session. PEACHES IN PLENTY FOR GOTHAM.

How the American Type Has Been Developed—The Carriage Animal of the Horse Shows—Need of Organization Among Breeders—More Than 100,000 Trotters and Pacers Sold Every Year. In a paper presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Breeders' Association, in Washington, D. C., H. K. Devereux, a prominent breeder, treated of the peculiar value of the American trotting horse and the means for protecting and advancing his condition. He said in part as follows: "The evolution of the American trotting horse is an interesting study and his history is as full of romance as it is of grave mistakes and foolish ideas. In a paper as brief as this one must of necessity be it is not practical to go into detail as to the origin and earlier history of our American trotters, but we may start with the conception that like the stud book as hackneys. This would prove that the term hackney referred more to a type than to a recognized family. As the type desired and now well known as hackney became understood, our dealers proceeded to hackneyize our trotters. "The late John S. Bratton was one of the first to start this movement. He gathered together a number of trotters and taking them to England won unqualified success in the show rings there, and then disposed of them as hackneys. This he repeated a number of times, and his success in the show rings in England and in this country started others in the same line. mortal Topsey, 'he was just born.' There seems to have been in these United States from our earliest history two distinct types of horse-lovers, those who lent their interest to the thoroughbred horse, the runner, and those who were more fond of the trotter, or road horse. During our early history throughout the Southern colonies the thoroughbred seemed to be most in favor and our English ancestors of those colonies imported the English thoroughbred, keeping his blood pure, while many of their descendants have followed along the line of racing and breeding the thoroughbred. "The hardy New Englander and the people of the more Northern colonies, including Canada, while importing thoroughbred horses from England, did not keep the strain pure, but crossing on native and other stock developed a harness horse that in time through use in harness for strength and road horse qualities, began to be used for speed. In Rhode Island from its earliest history there was a breed of horses known as the Narragansett pacer. The origin of this horse is clouded in mystery, but in use under saddle and in harness the many stories of his wonderful speed, and endurance are too well authenticated to be denied. Undoubtedly this family had some influence in establishing the gait of our very earliest trotters and pacers, and were probably the direct ancestors of what were known many years ago as the dun pacers of Ohio and Indiana. The Hiatogs, as probably the Cadmus and most pacing families, likely contained some of this blood. Another source drawn on for the development of the trotter was from certain Canadian families, and these horses were a product of the cross of the English thoroughbred on native and other imported stock. The Morgan Family Stock. The Morgan Family Stock. "The Morgan family of horses trace their origin to Justin Morgan, who in turn was a product of this line of breeding, as was also the Pilot family and others. In 1788 an English horse called Messenger was brought to New York, and descended from him we acquired the Hambletonian and Mambrino families, and these with the Clay, the Champion, and the Bashaw strain may be said to be the main lines of blood in our trotters, with frequent out-crosses to thoroughbred and unknown blood. The development of our trotter, just as the development of the English thoroughbred, came from speed contests. Other countries have had their trotting families, notably the Orloff, of Russia, but all have drawn largely on this country for the betterment of their native blood. While breeding the runner and racing him in this country has been confined to a comparatively small number of breeders and few tracks, breeding and racing the trotter is practiced by thousands in every State of the Union. "The versatility of the trotter made him at once a horse of practical use, and as contests of speed on road and track increased the interest, his value increased. Many men after acquiring means took up breeding the trotter as a hobby, and, while pedigree was studied faithfully, and speed developed, it was at the expense of individual quality. So great was the demand for pedigree in given lines of known speed that our breeders lost sight absolutely of all other requirements needed in a horse, and prior to the depression in values and particular slump in horse affairs in 1893, the country was overstocked with horses, many well bred, but valueless as individuals. Then came a readjustment. The development of the horse show educated men as to a proper type, and the severe lesson given our breeding interests in 1893 has not been forgotten. Since that time there has been an underproduction rather than an overproduction, and breeders have become educated to pass by a rich pedigree attached to a poor individual. American-Bred Stallions in England. stud book as hackneys. This would prove that the term hackney referred more to a type than to a recognized family. As the type desired and now well known as hackney became understood, our dealers proceeded to hackneyize our trotters. "The late John S. Bratton was one of the first to start, this movement. He gathered together a number of trotters and taking them to England won unqualified success in the show rings there, and then disposed of them as hackneys. This he repeated a number of times, and his success in the show rings in England and in this country started others in the same line. Generally the horses that were most successful in this were unsexed trotting stallions called stags. Chicago became the distributing point for such horses; from there buyers and dealers scoured the country, and to that point came buyers from every foreign country. Thousands upon thousands of the best types of our trotters, both stallions and mares, passed through this market and were lost to our breeding interests, the majority of them being exported. As many of these stallions were old, and as emasculation was necessary, they lost their name, identity and breeding, so it became the fashion to trade in the individual, whether stallion, mare or gelding, without thought of history or pedigree. "While we were busily depleting ourselves of our birthright, the foreigners, encouraged by home government in breeding to type and quality, and, aided by our industrious importers and dealers, were, and are now, sending into this country by thousands their product of coach bred stock. While our country has produced and acquired a world's reputation for the best light and heavy harness horses known, it has not been through any aid from our Government in the way of education or otherwise nor has there been any organization or means of education among our breeders themselves. The development of our horses has come about altogether haphazard, and is so the more surprising. With foreign governments paying so much attention to the development of their horses of different types and kinds, and with their large expenditures in accomplishing this work, the United States must beware, or we will lose a larger part of our heritage, and be compelled to buy abroad what we should produce better at home. Whether it be for track, road, carriage, saddle, or army, the versatility of the American trotter is what gives him his peculiar value. His blood lines can be used to produce not only the fast track horse, but the horse for pleasure, and, what is more of interest to our Government, the horse for army uses. Trained for generations for contests of speed requiring above all else good temper and perfect balance, he becomes singularly capable and valuable when put to other uses. The Trotter as a Race Horse. "The trotter as a developed race horse must have the elasticity of muscle of the thoroughbred, and while he must also have the highly developed nervous power of that horse, it must be under perfect control and balance. His endurance must also be of the highest order. These requirements are what make him so valuable. This development has been brought about, by contest in racing, and so to our trotting associations and tracks we must look for the continued development of this horse, and anything that affects their interests directly affects our horse of the future. There are no means of knowing, for we have no Government statistics, the values of our breeding interests as confined alone to our trotters, but it runs into many millions. While this is true, there is no legislation, either State or National, that might foster and protect these interests, while there is legislation that directly assails them. That they should thrive and represent the vast sum in values they do is evidence of their stability. "There is not a single interest in this country, no matter how insignificant, that has been so misunderstood, maligned, and abused as our trotting horse interest from breeder to track manager. This is accounted for in several ways: First, these interests are so scattered; second, they have never had the protection or recognition of either State or Government; third, they have never had any organization wherewith to advance and protect themselves; and last, the self-sufficiency of every man who is breeding or who is in any way interested in that or racing. There are some twenty weekly publications devoted exclusively to the trotting horse; these with the Year Book published by the Trotting Register Association, are the horseman's bible. They never go beyond them, and the public never gets the inside information or education. The horsemen are therefore in a way a secretive body, yet without organization. Opposed to them are the reformers, the importers and dealers in foreign stock, and the individuals with axes to grind. These tell their tale by means of the daily press, the numerous agricultural papers and standard publications, and thus reach the people. Jealousies Among the Breeders. "The absolutely inaccurate, most unreliable and misleading amount of abuse of our trotters so fed to the public through this means" and by book is enough to have swamped an industry of less importance. The trotting breeding interests have also suffered from sectional strifes and jealousies among the breeders themselves, and also as between the trotting horse publications. In the seventies a national association of trotting horse breeders was organized, but through these sectional jealousies and from mismanagement it passed away about fifteen years ago. During its brief existence, however, it did much to encourage breeding of the trotter, and attracted the attention of many men of means to the studying of blood lines, and the advancement of our breeding interests. The untimely death of this organization is much to be regretted, for with the chaotic condition of our horse affairs following the depression of 1893, it should have accomplished great good for our breeding interests. During the meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association at Lington, Ky., in 1906, a few of our breeders got together and determined to organize a breeders' association that should be both National and broad enough in its purposes to protect and encourage all lines of harness horse breeding in this country from our native stock. "At a sale of trotters in New York City, at the time of the recent depression, 875 trotters were disposed of for a total of $413,740, an average of $473 per head. During this sale a stallion was sold for $30,000, three brood mares for $12,825, and seven yearlings for $11,209. The quality of stock offered was no higher, if as high, as the year before, but the entire sale averaged $49 per head higher than the same sale of the year 1906. Could anything prove more entirely the stability and value of our trotting horse interests? During the past ten years this one sale has disposed of 9612 horses for a total cost of $4,100,912, and it is only one of about fifteen similar sales held in this country each year. It is safe to say that through public and private sale we dispose of or exchange in this country over 100,000 trotters and pacers each year. The magnitude and value of our breeding interests as applied to our trotting stock can be somewhat appreciated by these figures." The Dangers of Optimism By THOMAS L. MASSON. Optimism is really an excellent theory if kept in its place, but in these days the tendency is to run it into the ground. We meet professional optimists everywhere. What can be more terrible, for example, than to be in such a mental state that you can be cured by any form of the New Thought? In the first stages Optimism is easily curable. One of the receipts is to buy a hundred shares of Anialgamated Copper. In its second stage it is susceptible of treatment by marriage or living in the suburbs. In the last stages, however, the patient is hopeless. He is too happy for any use, and is, of course, quite unbearable. The worst feature of Optimism is the people it forces you to associate with. Not to be able to get rid of the man who has discovered the true-meaning-of-Life—indeed, to become so that you actually enjoy his company—is beyond all cure. And there is nothing worse than the man who has discovered the true-meaning-of-Life. There may be other grades of superiority more offensive, but we have never met them. It is better, indeed, to be conservative, and not admit that there is too much good in anything. Only in this way can one retain one's self-respect in this, days of universal panaceas—From Judge. Concrete For Vessels. Reinforced concrete is now being used for innumerable purposes, not the least important being in the building of ships. Several of these vessels have been built for the Italian navy. In 1906 a 120-ton barge was built on the plans of Mr. Gabellini, an Italian, who has given his whole attention to reinforced concrete and for many years has been conducting experiments with this class of material. This boat, which was built with double bottom and of the cellular type, was submitted to severe tests in which a much larger boat built of iron and with an iron ram was directed against it without producing any considerable damage. Four more of these boats were then ordered by the Italian navy. Hard Fate. Chancellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt University, like others of similar office, is known to his students by the briefer name of "Chance." Besides being the university's chief executive, he is also its head professor of Latin, and—the boys say—prize long talker at chapel exercises. On day, after a protracted discourse, while conducting a class in Horace, he called on a certain student to read, who did so in utter innocence and absolute accuracy as follows: "It is hard for us to endure the blows of chance." The class burst out in a roar of laughter, and as the "Chance" joined in, the dumb-founded student perceived the modern significance of ancient words.—Lippincott's Magazine. Bordering the west coast of Italy and protected from the cold north wind by the Apennine mountains, is the province of Tuscany with Florence as her chief city. On the slope of the Fiesole hills; overlooking that beautiful city on the-banks of the Arno, is the farm of a retired English merchant, and in the Pall Mall Magazine he gives a charming description of farm life in that far away country. The farm is considered a large one, but as the manner of measuring in Tuscany is so different comparison is difficult. About a third of it is put into wheat each year and the number of bushels sown is the measure of its size. The grain is sent to the local mills to be ground into flour and the straw, chopped up and mixed with grass, is eaten by the oxen. The farm work is all done by a pair of beautiful white Tuscan oxen, whose strength is prodigious. He tells how he once saw a restive ox, who was about to be shod, by one kick floor six men who, with a rope passed round a tree, were tugging at his hind leg. And yet their agility is extraordinary "as any one may see who watches a pair, with their necks joined together by the yoke, turn round in a space that would barely suffice for a pony." The mode of plowing on the deep hillsides among the vines and olives would amaze the traveler. Wooden Plows in Use. The plow which does duty in these orchards is a block of wood hewn out of an oak stump, with its tip shod with iron. A friend who was visiting Mr. Caulfield expressed astonishment that an Englishman should continue to use such a monstrous lump of wood. So he procured for him the latest thing in American plow and volunteered to guide it himself. "With some difficulty the yoke was adjusted, and the oxen, not accustomed to such a light weight behind them, started off at a gay pace, which soon lifted my friend off his feet and left him waving about at the tail of that plow, like riverweed stifred by a swift current. However, it was not for long. There came a crash, the oxen stopped short, and we found that the plow had stuck fast in a stout olive-root, and would never be itself again. There ended my first, and last, trial of an iron plow. I have gone back to the old plow, whose "convex bottom enables it to slip over any live rock or root that it may meet." How the Farms Are Worked. In Tuscany the farms are worked on the following system: The man who owns the farm and the man who works it share the profits and losses—the cynics say that the whole of the former go to the candino, and the landlord has all the latter. The rules governing the system have never been reduced to legal terms, but the unwritten law-of custom is never questioned. These rules vary considerably from district to district, following, however, one broad line. The landlord is responsible for all capital expenditure and improvements, that may be regarded as permanent, the making of new walls and vineyards, the providing of stakes for vineyards not yet in bearing, the purchase of live stock and of long-lived farm implements, such as wagons and plows, which remain his own property; while all annual expenditure and up-keep are shared equally. The landlord, moreover, is morally bound to provide food for his contadini in the case of a bad year, and is allowed to recoup himself from the next fat year. He has, on the other hand, various small privileges and dues, chief of which is the right to employ his contadini for his own purpose at less than the current wage. On the whole, he says, the system works well for both parties. The farm year begins with the sowing of wheat. The land is plowed in September and October, and as soon as All Saints' Day arrives—no good farmer ever begins before—the contadina goes out to scatter his seed broadcast over the field, which is an operation requiring more skill than may appear. No sooner is the seed covered up than there is digging or pruning to be done. "Care, however, must be taken not to prune when the moon is young; for as Plotro says, the new shoots would then remain always tender at the tips—only the olive's hard wood does not require this precaution." . Gathering Olives. The olives now change from green to dark purple which gleams in the sun, and the women are set to work to pick up the berries, which the November gales have shaken down. (The olives which give the oil are not the same as the green ones that one eats; these are gathered in the early fall and pickled with Iye.) The olive-picking is long and tollsome, particularly the part assigned to the women, who have to collect all the fallen berries—and very cold work it is for them when winter is on. Their little earthenware pots full of hot ashes barely thaw their numbed fingers, and their poor knees ache for days after. Then men climb the trees with a basket strapped in front of them, and drawing the laden branches towards them, strip them of the fruit with an action as of milking a cow. The olives picked from the trees are kept separate from those that are picked up on the ground, for the latter, being generally covered with earth, yield an oil inferior in taste. The olives are not allowed to remain long before they are taken to be crushed. The great stone mill is set in motion by an ox which walks round and round the fixed stone basin or "plate" and makes the upper stone revolve till he is tired and his comrade takes his place. The olives are divided into two parts. The first is crushed till the olives are turned into an oily mash, which is then stuffed in bags of cocoa-nut fibre called "cages" and put under a screw, and the oil forced out. While the first lot of berries are being pressed the second lot are crushed, the process is gone through twice with each lot and the result is an oil' of the first quality. Second quality oil is made by turning boiling water on the olive "paste" and grinding and pressing once more. The oil is left to clear until the dealers come up and, digging into the oil and fore-finger, which they gravely suck, proceed to make an offer. Blessing the Oxen. In February comes St. Anthony's day, a great day for the patient oxen for it is their saint's day, and the village priest is coming to bless them. Their stables are given such a cleaning that at first they do not recognize them and refuse to enter; while their own white coats are rubbed as spotless as a cat's shirt-front, till they gaze inquiringly at the little colored picture of the saint pinned above their manger, and wonder what it all can mean. The priest arrives and hurriedly recites the blessing, sprinkling them with holy water and they only wince a little as the drops from the brush fall on their still sensitive skins, for they seem to understand. Harvest Days. The peasants around Florence have an old custom called "Lighting up the corn," which they all respect. On Shrove Tuesday, as soon as night falls, all the contadini sally forth and with lighted wicks in their hands, make a complete circuit of all their fields in which the young wheat is growing. And as they walk they chant these lips: "Corn, corn, don't 'ee blight, Let every stalk a bushel fill, A bushel full, a bushel fair, A little loaf to every ear." It is a most picturesque sight to see the hundreds of little lights over hill and valley as far as the eye can see, and to feel that each light is in the hand of some one who is offering up a very genuine prayer, even though it be a Pagan one. In the latter part of April the olive-trees show the first signs of flower-buds. The earlier they appear the better is the chance of a good crop. The old Tuscan saying is that if the flower-buds show in April you will have barrels full as compared with pint measures full- if they do not show till Mar. On Easter day the farmer brings his landlord a present of a fine live capon and a dozen eggs, which are considered his perquisites and are never forgotten. In June the little figs appear, which ripen in August. At the same time the wheat begins to turn and the farmer life is one constant round of work but nately for him Italy has many saints' days which are invariably observed as holidays. The grain is all cut with a sickle and every one reaps for dear life that the grain may be gathered while the good weather lasts. Then comes threshing, which is done with flails and the winnowing with showels. No sooner is the harvest over and a little rest enjoyed than comes the gathering of the grapes. On vintage.day the farm is open to every one to help with the picking. The grapes are thrown into tall wooden tubs, as they are picked, and there pounded till the few grapes left are swimming in the sweet "must." The ox-cart carries these tubs just as they are into the vat, where in a few hours' time they will be fermenting furiously, bubbling like a geyser and sending up great puffs of crimson froth. The juice remains for some days in the vat till fermentation has almost ceased, then it is drawn off and the skins pressed for the wine which they still hold. The wine is put into butts which have first been thoroughly fumigated with sulphur, and there it reposes until it reaches a ripe old age. After the wine is safely stored away, the peasants have a great supper, with music and merry-making. So the year goes, sometimes nature is kind and a balance is carried to the right side of the books, but in the long run if sufficient is made to cover all expenses and at the same time provide a comfortable living, the farmer considers himself fortunate. Too High. As to the cost of living, there is room for debate on some features, but none on the following, all of which come too high: The fees of receivers, the purses to prize fighters, the salaries of grand opera singers, the price of a carriage ride, the tip expected, or exacted, at lunchon time. A sweeping horizontal reduction, say, of about two-thirds in each case, would come somewhere near a normal adjustment.—New York Mall. The women of Russia and the men of Japan are the most expert needle-workers in the world. At a time when the military training for military being much discussed, a short account of the Swiss system, from the Manchester Guardian, may be of interest. Every man in the peaceful and democratic country of Switzerland is a soldier in a modest way, befitting a small nation. The able-bodied Swiss enters the army at twenty years of age; and serves sixty-five days in his first year. For the next twelve years he trains for three weeks every alternate year. At thirty-two he enters the Landwehr, and has eight to ten days under arms every fourth year until, at fifty, he retires, and is required to furnish no further service except in case of war. What the Swiss millitaman lacks in military orthodoxy he far more than makes up by skill with the rifle. It is not too much to call the Swiss a nation of marksmans. The training periods are occupied only with drill and tactics; the all-important matter of shooting is left to the individual soldier to carry out, at other times, and he does it under the auspices of the shooting societies which are such a feature of Swiss life. These societies, under government control, are called Schutzengessellschaften in the German, and Societies de Tir in the French cantons. They are voluntary associations, varying in size and importance with the town or village they serve. Those in the larger towns possess completely fitted ranges and clubhouses; the small villages do their shooting in any field backed by a suitable hill. Every peasant and townman has easy facilities for shooting, and each man has his service rifle always in his possession. Every man between the range of twenty and thirty-two must fire thirty-two shots in four compulsory exercises every year, and the societies receive a grant of two francs for every soldier shooting this course on their ranges. The income derived from the grants generally suffices for the current expenses of the society, supply of targets and pay of marker. There is no entrance fee or subscription as a rule, and heavy expenditure, such as that incurred by the construction of new ranges, is met by a special grant from the government. Rules as to spectators, methods of loading and conduct on the ranges are stringent. Loss of grant is incurred by any breach or neglect of regulations. In addition to these exercises, many competitions are held, between different villages, towns and cantons. In summer the trains and steamers are crowded with jovial bands of marksmen going to and from their shooting festivals. The whole system of Swiss shooting is a good example of co-operation between government and individual. Every Swiss has his army rifle; he can use it when and where he will, provided he does not endanger others lives; he is insured by government against all accidents on the ranges, and through his society he can secure the services of qualified military officers to organize and control his shooting. By treating rifle-shooting as a sport, and as it is as popular as football is with us, and far more generally practiced, the Swiss have removed it from its usual warlike associations; but should occasion arise that which has been learned-in sport would be used in earnest. The one special curly which Mrs. Locke gave her husband on one of her departure for a fortune visit to a friend was her fern—her beautiful, wide-spreading fern. "Don't forget it while I'm away visiting, will you, Henry?" she pleaded, and Mr. Locke answered that the fern should be forever on his mind till she returned. Therefore, when on the evening of her arrival she noticed with a start that the fern was not in its accustomed place, she turned reproachful eyes on her husband. "Now, my dear, let me tell you," said Mr. Locke, gibly, "if ever a man kept his word, I did. That—er—that fern was on my mind night and day. I scarcely ever forgot it, if watered it—oh, I must have watered it four or five times the first two days. I wanted to make sure it had enough "Then the water began to run out of the saucer, so I left it alone—entirely untouched, my dear, for the next three or four days, just as you would treat a person who had overeaten. "When then it began to look a trifle dry I watered it again, very faithfully, but it began to look curious, very curious. So I just took it round to the florist, and he said he'd better look after it for a week or so. "He told me that both Jennings and Wilkinson had brought their wives' ferns to him the day before—same kind as yours. He says ferns are something like children—they miss the person they are used to, my dear." "I think, very likely they do," said his wife dryly. —Youth's Companion. Indian Cure Fox Smallpox.

Richard Bright at Beach Institute last Sunday afternoon, was along practical lines and fully endorsed by us. If these students and others who heard the address would make personal application and practice much good will be done. IF President Wright of the Georgia State College would spend as much time and energy at the college as he does at a certain place in the city planning to stir up strife in the community, the college would prove more prosperous than at present No white institution in the State would permit an officer to be as pernicious as does this little professor. WE have charged the President of the State College at Thunderbolt as strife breeder this charge is correct. For instance; we have had no contest from this district in thirty years until this little professor came here from Augusta. Since he came here we have had two contests, and both on his account. Our friend and fellow citizen, W. H. Sykes, is among the graduates of the law department of Howard University. Washington, D.C., with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He is remembered by many, of the young citizens. His parents are still residing here. Mr. Sykes is an excellent young man and has the push to make his way where others fail. It seems popular to be a demagogue. In the present campaign Hoke Smith, his organs and supporters have been saying much appealing to the passion of the people in a way to deceive them. Now comes Congressman Edwards who is telling the people in the rural districts that the colored people of Savannah are getting up a campaign fund to defeat him because he refused to meet a committee of colored letter carriers and is working to remove Collector Deveaux. The colored citizens are paying no attention to a fellow like Edwards. The campaign fund is a child of his imagination. If the white voters can stand him, we surley can. The state College Not The Doing Effective Work There is not a State College in the country on a par with the Georgia State College near this city. Every state college in the country can boast of effective work and a large student body. The Georgia State College by its catalogue has 293 students enrolled, of this number 50 are of the model school, or supported by the county and are very small children of the neighborhood. This leaves 234. About twenty of the remainder only re mained at the college a part of the term, leaving a few over two hundred on roll. What a showing for a State College? The responsibility lies somewhere. We charge the president with the non-effectiveness of this institution. The Thirteenth Atlanta Negro Conference. The thirteenth annual Negro Conference met at Atlanta University, Tuesday, May 26th. These conferences have been carried on for more than a decade and have brought distinguished students to the University and resulted in the publication of the following volumes: 1 Mortality among Negroes in Cities. 2 Social and Physical Condition of Negroes in Cities. 3 Some Efforts of Negroes for Betterment. 10 A Select Bibliography of the Negro American. 11 Health and Physique of the Negro American. 11 Economic Co-operation Among Negro Americans. Among Negro Americans. This year's conference studied the Negro Family. E G. Routzahn, director of the American Tuberculosis Exhibition, spoke on Tuberculosis among Negroes, in the morning. In the afternoon the Free Kindergarten Association, which is supporting four free kindergarten for Negroes in the city held a mother's meeting. At night Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, spoke of the "Negro Family" and expressed her great interest in this race and its welfare. The new colored arch deacon of Georgia, Rev. E. L. Henderson, spoke of the Church and Home and said: "While the Negro has made a splendid beginning in the acquisition of homes, a beginning it is, and not the end. For, here and there, in country and in city, we find, not only types, of the ideal home, but tenements and shanties, which barely afford protection from wind and stormd; wellings where the laws of health are defied, where the most ordinary sanitary arrangements are unknown, and where boards of health fail to penetrate; beds innocent of clothing; human forms, even those of their children, piteously clad; hunger written upon careworn faces, and despair everywhere triumphant. What can be expected in such a home as this but that which often exists—an immorality as deep as its poverty!" Among the visitors to the conference were G. S. Dickerman, of the Slater board of trustees, the Rev. Henry H. Tweedy, of Bridgeport, Ct., Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, Ohio and others.

PEARL STRINGING AS A BUSINESS Opportunity to Create a New Vocation In the Care of Gems and All My Lady's Jewelry--A Chance to Add to a Slender Income. A very valuable string of pearls should be restruing every month if one would be on the safe side, for there is always the danger of the silken cord rubbing against a diamond brooch at the back of the collar and one or more of the delicate strands being broken, thus making the waxed threads too thin to hold together for many days. Yet many women cannot bear to part with a costly chain or a handsome dog collar just at the height of the season's gayety, for the most expeditious jeweler would not be able to return the pearls in less than three or four days at least. There is also a certain risk in losing sight of a rare string of pearls for the briefest time, as at even the most reliable and far-famed establishment there may be unwittingly employed some one who will take the opportunity when restruiting a necklace of substituting a cleverly manufactured pearl in place of the real gem, the "pearl of great price," or perhaps of substituting between the diamond clasps an entire new string of apparently perfectly matched true pearls, and so marvelously can pearls be imitated that it may be many months before the fraud will be discovered. A real need, therefore, that has been felt for many years by all who possess costly jewelry, is for some means of having the different necklaces, bracelets, chalins, brooches, etc., kept in order without having to rellinquish them for art indefinite time just when they are most wanted for various balls and receptions. Strange as it may seem, not until this last year did it ever occur to anyone that for a means of eking out a not too ample income no 'task could be pleasanter than to take up as a profession the stringing of pearls and polishing up and even resetting of precious gems. With one or two lessons, any girl or woman could easily learn the art of pearl stringing, and, the knowledge once acquired, a field will be at once open to her among her friends, while her list of patronesses is sure to increase rapidly, for as yet there will be comparatively little competition to encounter. As the Koran says, "Thy friend has a friend, and thy friend's friend has a friend," and so the conscientious worker will soon build up a thriving business among her friends and acquaintances and through them among their friends and acquaintances, and so on, with the infinity of an endless chain. As a regular profession, this stringing of pearl collars and necklaces could really be made decidedly profitable. From the pearl stringing the business could easily grow into the more difficult art of cleaning and polishing jewelry and of examining brooches and jewelled chains regularly to see that the stones are all free in their settings, and with a tiny plincers many a piece of jewelry can be rescued from an extended visit to the jeweler's. There are numberless little side issues that can be taken up by the professional pearl stringer, all of which will net large returns on the price of the necessary few lessons in learning first-hand just how the work is done. Many girls and women are now learning themselves, how to restring their own pearls and how to keep their jewels always bright and lustrous, preferring, now that they know that one or two lessons will make it possible, to take sole care of their valuable jewelry. Small cases, in wood, leather, silk, or silver, fitted with all the necessary soaps, sticks, and chamols cloths for cleaning and polishing precious stones, are now to be had, and especially during the summer or mid-winter vacation, when one is apt to be far away from any reliable jeweler, do these cases prove their usefulness. In the world of fashion it is considered quite as necessary for the jewels to be bright and scintillating as it is for every article of dress to be absolutely fresh and spotless. The handsome the jewel the more does it deserve to be kept in perfect condition, while a less valuable pin, ring, or bracelet will not show up for half its worth if it be not kept always clean and bright. A curious fad of the present day is the wearing of good imitation pearls by women who possess superb strings of real and almost priceless pearls. Naturally there is a certain risk in always wearing the costly string, but there can be little object in possessing a valuable collar or necklace of pearls and then constantly wearing the imitations. So widespread has this fashion become among women who can and do own the real pearls that many wear during the day time pearls that are but gross imitations, and yet could they not afford to own the real thing they would consider it close to the line of vulgarity, to wear a piece of imitation jewelry. It all revolves back to the old truth: She who can afford the costly gem can afford to wear the imitation, but she whose income is known to be small need never strive to acquire a string of pearls, for they will never be given the credit of being genuine, another illustration of the verity, "To him (or her) that hath."—New York Timer.

The Farm TRAP FOR SHEEP-KILLING DOGS. In the meadow or field where sheep are pastured during the day, is a small pen, which is divided by a cross fence and covered on top by strong slats. Two gates are made so that they will swing open of their own accord and remain so, unless held closed or fastened. The gate is furnished with a latch by which it is fastened when closed. This gate is intended to admit the dog into the part of the pen A when he is attracted to it by a sheep confined for the purpose in the other part of the pen B. In the A part of the pen is a heavy board reaching across it. One edge of this board rests upon the ground against two pugs, which keep it from slipping backward. The other edge is kept up by means of two shaky, slender supports. A rope is fastened to the upper edge of this board and to the gates so that one-half of it when the board is propped up, allows the gate A to swing open and the other half holds the gate B shut and thus keeps the sheep confined. The trap is now set. A dog seeking entry into the pen finds the gate open and rushes over the board, thus knocking it down. The gate A is closed by the rope and fastened, while the gate B is allowed to swing open and set the sheep free. Well-Cured Hay. Feed the brood mares liberally, but not to excess. They should have the best quality of well-cured hay, oats and bran. Moldy hay that has been heated in the mow or bale, musty oats and bran that has soured, will not supply the proper nutriment for producing stake winners.—Horse Breeder. Care of Mares. Pregnant brood mares should receive special care from now until they drop their foals. They should take exercise in the open air every day. It is not sufficient to turn them loose in a large yard or paddock and leave them there. They should be kept moving. Some mares when heavy with foal are so sluggish that will not even walk around the yard unless some one is present to compel them to take exercise. This duty should not be entrusted to reckless boys. The exercise should not be violent.-American Cultivator. To Ripen Cream. Cream left to itself will become sour spontaneous. This is the result of the growth of lactic acid bacteria, which feed upon the milk sugar and as a final process convert it into lactic acid. Other forms of bacteria are also present in cream; some have little or no effect in the ripening process, while others, if allowed to develop, produce undesirable and often obnoxious flavors. To cultivate and develop those "wild" germs is called "spontaneous" ripening and is often attended with uncertainty. Good butter making demands the use of a "starter" either home made or pure culture. The former should be made of selected skim milk—Epitomist.

With a good piece of farm land to start with, few live stock industries present greater attractions than hog raising; but there is always the spacetre of cholera, and once started in a locality it is likely to sweep away the majority of the hogs. Hogs have made the fortunes of many farmers; hog cholera has ruined many others. It was found from statistics compiled some years ago that in Iowa about eighty-five per cent. of the hogs were destroyed in droves attacked by the disease. The Bureau of Animal Industry went to work to find a serum which would render hogs immune. At that time two kinds of the disease were known—hog cholera and swine plague. In a series of experiments the use of the Government serum rendered about eighty-five per cent. of the hogs immune. In other cases it had practically no effect. Further investigation by the scientists of the bureau discovered a third distinct type of cholera. All three—hog cholera, swine plague and the new disease are due to blood destroying bacteria. A new serum was formulated, made from the blood of immune hogs combined with that from diseased animals. This was patented by the department in the intere- of the farmer, and is believed to be an absolutely effective hog cholera preventive. "We have experimented with this new serum," said Dr. A. D. Melvin, the chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, "and it is most promising. It is a little too early to declare that it is infallible, and it is in no sense a cure, where the hogs already have the disease. But it seems to be a sure preventive, and where any_of the three hog cholera diseases breaks out in a community, the idea would be to inoculate all the hogs in the neighborhood. This is not such a great undertaking if done as soon as the pigs are littered. From our experiments thus far it appears to absolutely to immunize the animals treated. The bureau is co-operating with the various experiment stations for the manufacture of the serum and further experiments with the treatment, with a view to stamping out hog cholera in any locality the minute it appears." — Guy E. Mitchell, in the Farmers' Home Journal. The Profitable Brood Sow. For fall pigs breed the sow in April or May. Early pigs bring the best prices. Breeding stock should not be fat, but should be in thrifty condition. If the sow is thin and poor the litter will be a disappointment. Such pigs will prove hard feeders and slow to make profit. The period of gestation is normally 115 days, but frequently less. It is a good rule to expect the young in a week less than four months. Choose a thoroughbred boar if one is obtainable. Do not let yourself be beguiled into the belief that a scrub or a grade is of anything like as great, value. Choose good stock every time, and you will invariably have better pigs and better prices for them. Experienced swine raisers think nothing of carrying a sow ten or fifteen miles to a choice male. The second day of heat is better than the first. The period of heat lasts three days. After a single service the sow should be removed at once, and kept alone for two days, where she cannot even hear other swine. When driving a distance, see that the sow has a comfortable led in the wagon and is not hungry. Small ropes may be tied to her forward feet and passed through holes in the bottom of the wagon body to keep her from making trouble and requiring a rack. In severe cold weather she should have a blanket thrown over her. At the end of twenty-one days heep are pastured during the day, is a fence and covered on top by strong they will swing open of their own aced or fastened. The gate is furnished when closed.

A dog seeking entry into the pen the board, thus knocking it down. Theitened, while the gate B is allowed to watch the sow and know whether she has been successfully bred. To breed and rear swine is not difficult, but care and watchfulness are necessary parts of the work. Let no beginner be discouraged at a few losses, if he will but learn from experience. A few litters of plump, rollicking pigs at good prices will make it all up to him.—William O'Brien, in the American Cultivator. Raise More Shagp. Prosperity in the sheep business during the past few years has attracted a good many farmers to the business who never owned sheep before. The great majority of them discovered to their surprise that there was more money in sheep than in any other kind of live stock they ever raised. They also found that the sheep were valuable in keeping down the weeds and fertilizing the farm. As an all around farm animal for profit there is nothing that compares with the sheep. We often hear farmers say as an excuse for not having sheep that they "don't understand them." Well, if this is true, then the quicker they get acquainted with the fleecy tribe the better it will be for them. Sheep are by nature sociable and easy to get on friendly terms with, so the matter of introduction is easy. There is plenty of room in all the central Western States for five times as many sheep as are grown at the present time. If farmers would put more time in sheep culture, and less at something else they would profit more. The dog nuisance is, of course, a handicap in some places, but if sheep were generally raised, the combined efforts of the sheepmen would soon put the unnecessary dog out of business. It will be hard to combat the dog successfully when such a large amount of farmers raise the many curs instead of sheep.—Shepherd's Criterion.

"What shall I eat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out, and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth."

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. CURTIS LEE LAWS. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, the new pastor of the Greene Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday night preached a special sermon to men. The service was held under the auspices of the Men's League of the church. In the course of his address he said some very strong things. The subject was "Why There Are More Women Than Men in the Church." He took no text, but at once vigorously took up his theme. He said: It is not a fact that our churches are not reaching men in our day and in our city. We are reaching men; we are reaching men in large numbers and men from all classes of society. But it is a fact that we are not reaching men in the same proportion to the same number as we are reaching women. It is a fact to which we cannot be innocently indifferent. We must meet the situation fairly, and if the fault is in the church we must remove it. Here are facts which no one will dispute. Fully two-thirds of the church members of our country are women and more than two-thirds of the people in the church congregation are women. I doubt very much if we have in Brooklyn a single church with more than thirty-three per cent. of men in its membership. This is a startling fact when we come to consider it, and it becomes more startling still if church membership bears any relation to the question of salvation. I claim that a man must be a member of the church saved, but all will agree that the church is the place for saved men, and that, generally speaking, saved men are in the church. Why, then, is it, that with all our equipment and zeal, we are not able to reach men in the same proportion as we reach women? Why is it that only a third of our membership are men, and that, relatively speaking, we have so few men in our congregations? Personally I love men. I rejoice in their society and fellowship, and I do my best to interest them in Christianity and the church, and yet, I speak, we have the same condition as men everywhere else. I come to the study of this question with a great deal of personal interest and after a great deal of thought. It is claimed by specialists who have studied this question that the reason why men are not attracted to the church in larger numbers is that the ministry of the modern church is not strong enough intellectually to satisfy men of culture and education. This is practically the ground taken by a writer in a famous article published in one of our magazines. After talking with hundreds of young men to the conclusion that "The modern man is not a stagnant," and that young men absent themselves from church simply because the average minister is dull and heavy and behind the times. Aro the men who do not attend church brainier, more intelligent or more cultured than the men who do attend church? I would like to see the men who do not attend church placed upon the south side of one of our streets and the men who do attend church placed upon the north side of the same street. Then I would like to drive slowly along the street between these two groups that I might study their faces. On which side do you think I would find the brains and the culture, and the refinement and the character? Again, when non-churchgoing men prate about the uninteresting preachers, I always feel that they are casting needless insults into the teeth of their mothers and daughters and wives and sweethearts. Women read more than men, and except about political and commercial questions they are better informed than men. Notwithstanding their higher culture and their greater refinement, the women do not find the sermons of the average preacher dull and inconsequential. Again, it is claimed that the churches don't seek the men nor welcome them to the services as they should. Now, personally, I do not believe a word of this. I have been for years very closely identified with the church life of a great city, and I have been in close personal relations with a greatness of our ministers, and I tell you that the whole Christian church is making a mighty effort to reach the unchurched men of the city. And wanting them as much as we do, it is nonsense to talk about not welcoming them. I have heard that in a certain church there is a church which has out in the vicinity a nickel-in-the-slot machine. All that a stranger has to do is to walk in and drop in his nickel and out from the machine comes a hand to grasp his in cordial welcome. We do not have anything like that here, but we can beat that in our church, for here many a stranger gets a hearty hand-grasp and goes away with his nickel in his pocket. I tell you that men are welcome in our churches; men, irrespective of the accident of fine clothing; men, however dressed and however wicked; they are all welcome in nine-tenths of the churches; and what is more, they know quite well they will not only be welcome, but that we are praying that they may come. Let us glance now at some of the real reasons why men do not come to our churches and into our churches, as their sisters do. Men are driven so hard by the work of the week that when Sunday comes many of them are in a state of collapse mentally, and so they spend the time in bed, or else they betake themselves to the parks or to the country for recuperation. I know many men who are committing a slow suicide by the work which they are attempting to do, and I know that when Sunday comes they snatch a little rest as their only safety. I feel that in some way they must get out from under the burden which they are bearing, some by choice and more necessary or else while taking care of the life they be sheer neglect lose the life which is to come. Now, women, on the other hand, their work for the most part in the house, and they welcome the Sabbath day and the church services as a kind of mild entertainment and pleasant diversion. There they see their friends and have a pleasant word, but the men have been seeing their friends all the week, and now they want simply rest. Men have many things in their lives which furnish them with social life, and with a little balm for their sore consciences. Tens of thousands of men belong to clubs and societies and lodges. Here they spend their leisure time and spare money, and many of them will single out the charitable features of these organizations, and will say that their lodge is their church, inculcating all that is good and beautiful. When any man allows any human society to take the place of the church of God in his life, that society has become to him a positive evil, and he ought at once to recognize it as a snare of the devil. These societies do good in their way, but in comparison with the church of God they are as a rush light to a star of the first magnitude, as a firefly to the sun in all his glory and splendor. I blame these societies for keeping many men out of the reach of the Gospel, for they try to teach men that morals are as acceptable as religion, and many men are giving a blind allegiance to these human institutions and at the same time having that they are serving Almighty God. Men also have politics to interest them, and during a political contest it seems utterly out of the question to interest the ordinary man in anything else than a political discussion. Women have few societies, and, thank Heaven, they have no part in politics. Men are more enamored of certain forms of overt sin than women, and the devil, through these forms of sin, is winning many men away from all the influences of the church of Christ. Gambling and drunkenness are the sins of men, and while some women also fall into these two classes of sin, they are the exception rather than the rule. In many of our American men, he has one legalized place for the sale of liquor to men, and we cannot tell, nor to the authorizes seem to care, how many gambling places there are in our fair city. But all of these places live largely upon the patronage of men. Now, is it strange that we have so few men comparatively in our churches? Men are far more in the clutches of overt sin than women, and that fact must be reckoned with when you count up the men in the churches. God pity the great host of men who have have sold themselves body and soul to evil, and who have no care about righteousness here nor felicity hereafter. Society places a premium upon the irreligiousness, if not upon the positive unrightousness, of men by permitting the double standard of morals. Men do with impunity what a woman could not do at all if she desired to remain respectable in the estimation of her family and friends. Now, so long as society, composed in part of Christian people, permits men to be libertines and drunkards, and to do what make them smart for their sins, the same men will have but little regard for them, and how can we expect the libertine to have respect for religion when he is made the welcome guest in the house where, if the people lived up to their religion, he would be loathed? How can we expect sinful men to come into the church and give up their sins, when the men and women with whom they associate do not discount them in the least because of the lives that they lead? How different with women. They must be pure to be respectable; they must not fall once into the sin in which their husbands and brothers riot, for if they do they will be scourged out of society. I tell you men and women of Brooklyn, the social order in which we live puts a premium upon the vices of men. We are responsible to the extent of our influence. I plead with the fathers and mothers to protect their daughter as well as making that your son should marry a fallen man as that your daughter should marry a fallen man. I plead with the Christian men. before me to refuse their intimate friendship to impure me, and under no circumstances to allow impure men the privilege of social equality in your homes. Not until Christian men take some such stand will the men of our generation realize the enormity of social sin. Every Man by Himself. God beholds thee individually, whoever thou art. "He calls thee by thy name." He sees thee and understands thee. He knows what is in thee, all thy own· peculiar feelings and thoughts, thy dispositions and likings, thy strength and thy weakness. He views thee in thy day of rejoicing and thy day of sorrow. He sympathizes in thy hopes and in thy temptations; He interests Himself in all thy anxieties and thy remembrances, in all the risings and fallings of thy spirit. He compasses thee round, and bears thee in His arms; he takes thee up and sets thee down. Thou dost not love thyself better than He loves thee. Thou canst not shrink from pain more than He dislikes thy bearing it; and if He puts it on thee, it is as thou wilt put it on thyself, if thou art wise, for a greater good afterwards.—J. H. Newman. To Live We Must Grow Are there not some of us who have been trying a good while to get back an old experience? If we succeed, we should only be where we were, and if we are only going to get where we were we have abandoned the law of progress and begun the downward retrogression. God has Himself withered, by His own consuming breath, the flower and fragrance of your former joys, that He may lead you into something better. Let your old experience go and take the living, everlasting Christ instead. What thing thou lovest most, thou mak's its nature thine; Earthly, if that be earth—if that be God's, divine. —R. C.

"It struck me in the back and extended from the hip of my right leg down to my foot. The attack was so severe that I could not move in bed and was afraid that I should be a cripple for life. "About twelve years ago I received a sample bottle of your Liniment, but never had occasion to use it, as I have always been well but something told me that Sloan's Liniment would help me, so I tried it. After the second application I could get up out of bed, and in three days could walk, and now feel well and entirely free from pain. "My friends were very much surprised at my rapid recovery and I was only too glad to tell them that Sloan's Liniment was the only medicine I used." Even the clam knows when it is time to shut up.

F. FIELD CO., Brockton, Mass. A Century of Stone Coal. Wilkesbarre today celebrates the centennial of anthracite. Special honors will be paid to the memory of Judge Jesse Fell, the Wyoming valley pioneer, who on February 11, 1808, at the village tavern, showed how "stone coal" could be burned in an open grate. An Indian massacre of unusual atrocity, a poem and the reputation of being one of nature's garden spots fix the Wyoming valley in the popular mind. It is otherwise entitled to fame as a source of national wealth far exceeding the product of California gold fields or African diamond mines. Twelve years after Fell's discovery only 365 tons of hard coal were shipped from the mines in a year. Now there is an annual output of 72,000,000 tons, with a value at the mines of $166,000,000. All the gold mined in the United States is 1006 was worth but $44,000,000. The Pennsylvania anthracite fields cover 470 square miles and include fifteen seams. The industry employs 145,000 men. How long will the supply last at the present rate of yield? Probably 100 years, according to conservative estimates. By that time the £30,000,000 tons of anthracite in the Shensl regions of China may have become available for American use, if no new "yellow peril" occurs to prevent. But the certainty of the ultimate exhaustion of the Pennsylvania fields makes all the more obligatory measures of economy in production and the correction where possible of the criminal waste of the past.—New York World.

To the Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Members of Subordinate Lodges—Greeting: First—By the power in me vested by the ancient constitution of our order, the rules and regulations of the grand lodge, you are hereby fraternally notified that the grand lodge will convene in its 38th annual session, June 9, at 9 a. m., 1908, A. L. 5908, at Americus, Ga. Second—All lodges are required to be represented by their proper representatives, the master and wardens or past masters or past wardens and who must be a member or members of the lodge represented. Third—The attention of the several lodges throughout the rand jurisdiction of Georgia, is hereby called to the grand lodge constitution, section 4, article 12, which requires that each warranted lodge shall pay to the grand lodge a tax of 25 cents on each master Mason; and according to section 2, article 16, for each degree conferred, 25 cents for the first degree and 12 1-2c each for the second and third degree. The above taxes to be forwarded to Brother Sol C. Johnson not later than May 1st. Fourth-All subordinate lodges are required to make their regular annual reports under penalties prescribed by the constitution. Because a lodge has not received a blank return, must be no excuse for not reporting on time. Worshipful masters must pay particular attestion to this matter. Fifth-If you have not received a blank return write to the grand secretary, Brother Sol C. Johnson, Savannah, Ga., for one at once. Sixth-All lodges now working under dispensation are requested to apply for a warrant of constitution at the grand lodge, the same costing thirty ($30) dollars, which must accompany said application.

Delegates and visitors can secure board during the grand session at $1 a day. Ninth—All lodges working under dispensation that have paid part on their warrant will be expected to settle in full at this session and receive the warrants. Tenth—All lodges that have not complied with the law requiring 50 cents per annum for each master Mason reported at the last session of the grand lodge for the orphans' home are hereby ordered to send it in at once to Brother W. H. Spencer, No. 514 Fourth avenue, Columbus, Ga., as per law, from their treasuries. Eleventh—All lodges that have paid part of said assessment are requested to settle balance. The lodges that have not been represented and have not paid their grand lodge taxes and assessments as per law for the Masonic Home, for orphans of worthy deceased master Masons, must settle up at this session or how cause why their charters should not be arrested.

Special Notice. Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Brothers, will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. H. R. BUTLER, M. D., Most Worshipful Grand Master. SOL C. JOKINSON. Right Worshipful Grand Sec'ty. THE EASTERN STAR. Thirty-six years ago the Eastern Star like an Alpine flower amid the snows crept out, an untried, untrusted experiment. Our boat was on an unknown sea without chart or compass, naught to guide us save the glittering North Star of principle, and the desire to do good and promote the Brotherhood of Man. Staring here, frail in strength, but strong in faith, we have grown steadily until now we are the oldest and next to the largest jurisdiction in the world. We have contributed to our sisters and brothers myriad deeds of friendship, love and kindness, of tender sympathy, of fraternal affection, generous, willing unselfish deeds, that all the diamonds of Gelconda and all the gold which the ships of Tarsus ever brought from the mines of Ophir could not buy or bring to pass.—Hattie C. Derthie, Michigan. BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT. Masons, of all classes of men, should be the last to hastily judge one another. The relationship existing between them pre-supposes honesty and frankness toward each other, and a disposition to consult each other's wishes so far as honor and justice may warrant. It demands that toward each other there shall be a more strict observance of the golden rule—"as ye would that men would do to you, do ye also unto them," and there is certainly no one who desires to have his motives impugned without just cause, or to be charged with what he is in no way responsible for, and he should be careful not to do a brother this injustice. It matters not how much appearances may be against a brother, withhold your judgment until the truth can be fully ascertained. We might mention many instances that have come under our observation to prove how easy it is to be misled by hasty conclusions, or to be mistaken even when circumstances all seem to point in one direction, but we do not deem it necessary, as all others doubtless have had the same experience. We hope all our brethren will consider well this point, and be sure that they accuse no man wrongfully, as it is so easy to be mistaken. Above all things judge not too hastily.—Globe. MASONIC FRIENDSHIP. Ours is more than a mere selfish and mercenary friendship—more than the flattering shadow that follows the sunshine of wealth and fame; more than the beautiful semblance of a substance which cynics have derided and misanthropes have spurned. Ours is a generous friendship founded on bratherly love and esteem, which no misfortune can weaken, no disaster destroy—one which stands the warm kisses of the sun and the tempestuous wave of the storm—R. H Taq or Arkansas. THE IDEALS OF MASONRY. A life of service is the ideal life. Honor seeking is disappointing and impractical. Others may seek to honor you; but honor only comes in consequence of uniform commendable conduct on your part. Others may seek to dishonor us. Their attempts will be vain; yet we by a single misdeed can bring dishonor upon ourselves. The ideals of Masonry are so lofty and so perfect that we frail, imperfect human creatures struggling to live up to them, will meet with obstacles of many kinds, and may perhaps be buried in the rubbish of human failures; but, if our pursuits are truly laudable, if our faith is well-founded, and if our trust is in God we shall be raised triumphantly by the right hand of His power, and sustained by the encircling of His everlasting arms. OWEN MORRIS, Grand Orator Minnesota. THE GOLDEN HARP. The unseen player on the golden harp of Masonry has touched a sweeter chord; its notes of love, of joy, of gladness; whose harmonies will touch the hearts of this cold and selfish world. Its seraphic sweetness will be carried as on wings of the morning, to the uttermost parts of the earth, to hamlet and palace; to the rich and to the poor; that it will roll back, in a mighty chorus from royal men, repeating the angelic song of Bethlehem's Plain, "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good-will to men."—The Guide. GUARD THE PORTALS. The Masonic Lodge should by the character of its membership exert an influence for good in the community where it exists, and if it does not, we may be assured that its portals have not been securely guarded and its high standard of morality and righteousness has been lowered to the level of men set in darkness. In Kansas the Grand Master's salary is $800, and in Illinois it is $1,500, with an allowance for expenses. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, which does everything on a liberal scale, appropriates $4,000 for the Grand Master's expenses and $3,500 for the expenses of the District Deputy Grand Masters. In some jurisdictions, notably in Ohio, the Grand Master renders an itemized account of his expenditures.—Masonic Standard. It is often said that business and Masonry should never be mixed. It is cut view of Masonry that business and pleasure, and every part and incident of life should be mixed with Masonry, for Masonry should never be lost sight of in whatever we do or think of, the principles of the order being eminently applicable to every phase and condition of life.—Texas Freemason. The spirit of Masonry is always reaching out and buildin gup. It puts some line of beauty into every life it touches. It sets a high standard of right living. Its every breath is an inspiration. The law of life as well as of Masonry is a law of service. He is the greatest who serves best—Square and Compass. Nothing is more necessary, nothing more important than to cultivate and improve in every possible way the thinking powers; the mind requires as much exercise as the body, and no man can fully and adequately discharge the duties of whatever station he is placed in without the power of thought.—Masonic Sun. SPORTING BREVITIES. The harness horses of Judge William H. Moore won three blue ribbons at the show of the Riding and Driving Club, of Brooklyb. August Belmont's Normal III. beat King Edward's Perrier, the favorite, in the Two Thousand Guineas race at Newmarket, England. Since the crew work at Yale University has assumed more definite shape the prospects for a good varsity and freshman crew are bright. Stewards of the Pennsylvania Breeders' and Racing Association announced an attractive program for the first race meet of the organization. Melvin W. Sheppard, the American distance runner, is so eager to be a New York policeman, that he may not accompany the Olympic team to England. Battling Nelson is beginning to provide himself for graceful retirement, and as a first step in that direction he has bought himself a farm near San Francisco. At the annual convention of the Middle States Regatta Association it was decided to hold the regatta this year at Washington. It will be held on the Potomac on Labor Day, September 7. W. B. Burroughs, of the Illinois University, scored a double win in the field events at the Pennsylvania relay races. In the shot he easily outdistanced Krueger, the intercollegiate champion. Some of the athletes at the University of Pennsylvania are inclined to resent the action taken to make them pay up their bills for training table expenses before they take part in athletic sports. HOME IDEAS AND ECONOMIES Egg Dishes. An odd combination of breakfast codfish balls and eggs is prepared in this way: Make the fish-balls flat, and fry them brown; poach some eggs in rings, and when done slip one on each ball. Egg-balls are an attractive breakfast or luncheon dish. The eggs are boiled hard, and the whites removed. Some minced ham is mixed with white sauce, and seasoned with a little dry mustard, and spread on rounds of toast, and one ball is put on each slice, and more white sauce, mixed with the chopped whites, is poured around.—Harper's Bazar. Vegetable Soup. Chop exceedingly fine a bunch of carrots, half a bunch of green onions, one turnip, half a small cabbage, a head of celery and three or four branches of parsley. Put the vegetables thus prepared on the fire in a suitable saucepan with a large tablespoonful of butter and stir it frequently until the vegetables begin to color. Then add two tablespoonfuls of flour, stir and cook a little, and then add two quarts of boiling water, a teaspoonful of sugar, a level teaspoonful of salt and a quarter of a level teaspoonful of pepper. Bring the soup to the boiling degree and then draw the saucepan back where the contents will simmer for an hour. When ready to serve add to the soup a cupful of boiling milk; see if the seasoning is correct, pour it into a hot tureen and send to table. Sunny South Chicken Pie. Housekeepers are often puzzled as to what to do with the fowl left from "yesterday's dinner." It is certainly no longer suitable to serve as a main dependence for the next repast. Here is a recipe for "Sunny South Chicken Pie," and I think that the family will welcome the "left-over" with delight if you will serve it in this way. Pick the fowl carefully, and use a little dressing with it, a large piece of butter and a dash of cream to moisten the mixture. Then cook over a slow fire until the cream thickens. Previously line a baking-dish with pie crust, and when the crust has been thoroughly baked, fill the centre of the dish with the chicken and allow to slightly brown. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.—B. G., Virginia, in American Home Monthly. An Attractive Dish. Not all know that we can have that summer luxury, cottage cheese, in the winter time. Take the milk as it comes from the separator in a bright tin bucket; add to it two quarts of buttermilk to ripen it quickly. Then set the bucket in a warm place, anywhere you would set bread to rise, being as careful not to scald the milk as you would not to scald the bread. In a few hours the milk will clabber or turn thick enough to almost stay up in place, when you cut it with a knife. This is quite important. Then turn to the warmer part of the stove to cook, taking great care that it shall not heat too fast. It should also be stirred while heating quite often and very carefully. Let it get quite hot, but not so hot that you cannot hold your hand in it—which makes it lower than scalding hot. Then take from the stove and strain through a cloth, which is better than a sieve. I use a clean bushel-size salt sack. Press the whey out, then place the cheese in a dish and season to taste with butter, salt and cream. With your hand work this until it will stick together and not be mealy. Then you can make it into a roll or in balls, or place it in a salad bowl and garnish it with oxalis leaves and flowers or any suitable green. Sometimes the addition of a sliced boiled egg is very nice. All help to make a very pleasing dish for the winter table.—Anna M. Mead in the New York Tribune. Hints to Housekeepers. Warm your discolored earthenware or granite baking dishes well, then rub them with damp corn meal. It cleans without scratching. To make a rubber plant throw out branches tie a small sponge around the main stem where a leaf joins and keep the sponge moist all the time. In putting on the bands to skirts, etc., make them long enough to turn in about an inch. Make the buttonhole in this, and being doubly strong it will not pull out. A small glass of jellied beaten, a little at a time, into the cake or pudding frosting will add greatly to its appearance and taste. A little coloring adds to its attractiveness. For okra soup such as one finds in the South, boil slowly a shin of beef in five quarts of water with about fifty okras and a few tomatoes for seven hours. Then season with salt and red pepper. For creamed cabbage, boil the cabbage, tender, drain off the water and put into the pot with it a large teaspoonful of flour, a tablespoonful of butter, a little salt and half a cupful of milk. Cook, stirring until the sauce is smooth. An old housekeeper says that cranberries cooked in her way will never fail to fell. She cooks a quart of the berries in two cupfuls of sugar and a cupful of water for ten minutes after the boiling begins. Then she strains them through a sieve and boils ten minutes longer. At the end of the time they are turned into a mould. MONEY DEPOSITED WITH The.
