The Savannah Tribune. GERMAN AIRSHIP BURNS Count Zeppelin's Craft Destroyed After Remarkable Voyage. INVENTOR TO GET $125,000 Although Contract Was Not Fulfilled German Government Will Pay For Machine. Stuttgart, Germany. — During a storm the Zeppelin airship broke away from its moorings, took fire and disappeared in the air. Several persons were injured. Count Zeppelin, however, is safe. A chapter of accidents occasioned by bad moods of nature and the failure of mechanical appliances combined was responsible for the untimely end of the balloon, the flights of which have held the attention of the world. The Zeppelin airship had just completed the most remarkable voyage in the history of aerial navigation. The flight was successful in a great many ways. The machine responded absolutely to the control of its pilots and was navigated over the Lake of Constance, down the valley of the Rhine, over Strassburg and several other cities, and was returning to Friedrichshafen, its starting point, when the accident happened. An explanation of the accident by experts is that probably one of the balloonettes of which the immense envelope was constructed, burst, and a spark from the motor ignited the gas when the balloon was carried into the air. Count Zeppelin has devoted his life time and his personal fortune to the development of his airships. The vessel that was lost was the fourth he had constructed. When his money had become exhausted the German reichstag voted him $125,000 to conduct further experiments, and number four was the result. The German government agreed to purchase this ship on condition that it fulfilled certain requirements, the principal one being that it remain in the air 24 hours and land on terra firma. This attribution has not yet been fulfilled. But, on learning of the accident to the airship, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hellweg, imperial secretary of state for the interior, after a consultation with his-colleagues, decided to forward to Count Zeppelin $125,000, the proposed estimate in the imperial budget for aeronautic experiments, as a reward for the count's many years of sacrifice of this character in the interest of the fatherland. NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT. Declared It Can Be Made to Yield 280 Bushels an Acre. Spokane, Wash.—The discovery of a new variety of wheat on the Hogeye ranch, owned by W. W. Ward, seven miles from Dayton, Wash., south of Spokane, which, it is claimed if cultivated, will yield two hundred and eighty bushels an acre, has aroused intense interest among farmers of that section, and plantologists are working on its classification, states a recent report. An interesting feature of the species is the head, which really consists of seven mississippi units, a common hale Growers in eastern Washington believe that if the cereal is found adapted to cultivation, wheat can be made to yield seven times as much as ordinary wheat. John Brining has also found some of the wheat growing on his ranch. Infants Blind By Careless Treatment. Springfield, Ill.—One-third of the blind children of this country are the victims of careless physicians or midwives. This is the startling charge that Superintendent George W. Jones, for the Illinois school for the blind, makes in an article in the forthcoming issue of the bulletin of the state board of charities. Superintendent Jones says: "Inflammation of the eyes of the newborn is an acute infection of the eyes occurring from one to three days after birth. A two per cent solution of silver nitrate is an absolute specific for this disease and a one per cent solution can be administered without danger by the most untrained person." Arithmetic Problems Annoy Veterans. Austin, Texas.—The John B. Hood Camp, Confederate Veterans, have filed a formal protest with Governor Campbell against the action of the state text-book board in adopting for the public schools of the setate a certain elementary arithmetic because it contains the following examples. "General Grant was born April 27, 1822, and was 41 years, 2 months and 7 days old when Vicksburg, Miss., was captured, When did he capture Vicksburg?" Nolseless and Smokeless Battleships. Washington, D. C.—"War vessels of the future will be syft, smokeless, notseless craft, lying low in the water, with every vulnerable spot below the water line, the entire deck being given over to the work of guns. There will be no smoke, because there will do no smokestacks. In the night time there will be nothing to betray the presence of this invincible fighting demon to the enemy." This prediction is made by Robert Heywood Fernald, mechanical engineer, who has for several years been connected with the investigations of the United States geological survey. RE-ADJUSTMET OF RATES Favored By Harriman in Preference to Increased Freight Tariff. Chicago, Ill.—Edward H. Harriman before his departure from Chicago for the west gate a short discussion of the possibility of general increase in freight rates in the United States. "The American people ought to be willing to pay the railroads a proper compensation for a proper transportation service," he said. "Such a service we are now performing, but we are not receiving an adequate return. If the railroads are to go on extending their lines, improving those which are now operated and providing new equipment to take care of the country's business, they must have more revenue. I am not in favor of a cold, calculating, cruel' and horizontal increase in the rates. I am not a traffic man, and I do not know much about such things, but I know that there is a proper way to go about a thing, and that there is a bungling way to do the same thing." Mr. Harriman seemed to favor a general readjustment of freight tariffs rather than a general increase. He believed that many rates are too low, and should be increased, but he was opposed to a,straight 10 per cent increase in the carrying charges for all commodities. "Is there to be an increase in freight rates?" he was asked. "How can I tell," was the reply, accompanied by a despairing wave of the hand. "Well, if there is to be no increase in freight rates, will there be a decline in wages?" was the next question. "I don't care to talk about wages," said Mr. Harriman, "but the railroad laborer is in the same position that the railroads should be in. He is entitled to all he can get for his services, provided he gives the very best service that lies in him." EDISON QUITS INVENTING. Takes Up Study of Chemistry and Will Take Life Easy. New York City—Thomas A. Edison has begun to gratify an ambition he has cherished many years and the laboratory at Llewellyn, N. J., will see comparatively little of him henceforth. Mr. Edison's ambition has been to give himself a roving commission into public science and to steer clear of commercialism. He does not want to increase his fortune. He has got $25,000,000, which he thinks is more than enough. All his life he has been turning out money-making inventions. He will devote his remaining years to investing in anything that strikes his fancy, without regard to its financial productiveness. Now he proposes to devote himself to chemistry. Moreover he is going to take life more easily. He has promised his family and his friends to give up slaving night and day, Sunday and holidays in his laboratory. Not only that, but he is going to take jaunts about to see the rest of the world. He has bought himself a place in Florida, where he will spend a couple of months in the late winter and spring next year. GERMAN ARMY MANEUVERS. Nearly a Million . Soldiers 'Will . Be Engaged. Berlin, Germany.--The publication of the orders for the army maneuvers in the fall of this year, in which nearly a million will be engaged in various parts of the country, has aroused the most extraordinary interest in civil as well as in military circles. The strength of the army is to be increased for the time being by no fewer than 269,492 men from the reserves, who with the standing peace army of 526,846 men will bring the total under arms at the end of August up to 869,688 who will fight tactically against each other. Cavalry, artillery, infantry, engineers, motorists, balloonists, field telegraphists and telephonists, cyclists and all the branches of the service which look after supply and transportation intelligence and communications are to undergo searching tests. WOMEN TO NAME CANDIDATES. Feminine Federation Party to Hold Convention—Unique Platform. New York City—The Feminine Federation party is preparing to hold its convention in this city to nominate candidates for president and vice president of the United States, following are a number of the most important planks in the party's platform, which will be presented for adoption: "Labor reform. Four hours and a half house work a day for women, the remaining hours to be devoted to self-improvement and culture. Cessation of war, domestic and otherwise. A national health bureau. A national beauty bureau. Prohibition of bossism. Revision of transfer system. Work for everybody. No trusts. No fusion. A woman president of the United States. KING'S EYE ON OUR GIRLS. Servian Ruler Wants to Marry His Sons to American Heiresses. Vienna.,—A Viennese newspaper says: Reports received from Russian sources say that King Peter of Servia intends to marry his two sons to American women of great wealth. Emperor Nicholas of Russia is said to be agreeable to such unions, and even has promised to be the godfather of the first son born to either of the princes and General Arthus Tschep-Spridovich, president of the Slavonic league, at Moscow, has started for New York to look around for heiresses in America. DYNAMITE WAS USED By Strikers in Alabama and Over 300 Shots Exchanged. STATE MILITIA VOLUNTEERED Governor Comer Declares That No Federal Troops Will Be Needed to Handle the Situation. Birmingham, Ala.—Lewisburg, nine miles north of Birmingham, was the scene of some exciting shooting shortly after midnight Wednesday. The mines are surrounded by a stockade, and a group of strikers approaching this threw a heavy charge of dynamite against it, which aroused the whole camp. The men then ran to a ridge nearly a mile from the stockade and opened fire with rifles. No less than 300 shots were fired into the stockade, and the twenty or more deputies around the mines returned the fire with vigor, but no one was injured on either side. Governor B. B. Comer has issued his first extended statement on the strike situation, stating that it was very serious; that the talk of asking for federal troops was nonsense, and a reflection on the Alabama national guard, and adding that it might become necessary for him to order the dispersing of all assemblies, and resorting to other drastic measures to stop the violence which, it is claimed, is now all too frequent. Chattanooga, Tenn. — A call was made for volunteers from the Alabama militia for service in the strike zone. The entire first regiment, without hesitation, offered their servicese. It now seems probable that the entire force will get a chance to do duty there; at least this, seems to be the opinion of officers and men of the regiments encamped at Chickamauga. A number of mimic engagements have taken place among the Alabama troops "at Camp Taft. There were three separate engagements, in each of which one battalion of the regiment was placed on the defense, and the other two battalions assumed the offensive. The purpose of the maneuvers was primarily to teach the men caution. SENATOR ALLISON IS DEAD. Was Member of the United States Senate for 36 Years. Dubuque, Iowa.—United States W. B. Allison died at his home in this city Tuesday. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. The end 'came as a result of a serious sinking spell due to a prostatic enlargement, complicated with kidney disease, and during a period of unconsciousness which had lasted since Saturday afternoon. Washington, D. C.—To Senator Allison, more especially than to any other man who ever occupied a seat in that body belongs the title of "Father of the Senate." He was not only one of the oldest men in that body, but he held the record beyond all others for length or service there. More important still, his service in the senate was such that his title to the position depended not at all upon his advanced age or extended service, Senator Allison was, at the time of his death, and had been for a third of a century, a leader in fact as well as in name. Mr. Allison entered the senate on March 4, 1873, and had served continuously ever since, making the longest service as a member of that body ever covered by any individual. When he died he had just completed the fifth month of the thirty-sixth year of his occupancy of this important post. His present term would have expired March 4, 1909, but he had already been nominated by primary for still another term. Thus, if death had not interfered, his service in the senate was assured until March 15, 1915. QUARRELED OVER CIGARETTE Boy Kills His Father When He Was Chastised for Smoking. - Raleigh, N. C.—Thomas Riddle, a young white man, shot and instantly killed his father, James A. Riddle, at Cotton, a cotton mill town, seven miles south of Fayetteville, late Sunday evening. Young Riddle approached his father, in the presence of others, smoking a cigarette, when the elder demonstrated with him, bringing on a quarrel. The father attempted to strike him with a board when the young man drew a revolver and fired four shots into his father's body, the first causing instant death. Thomas Riddle immediately surrendered to the police. Five Killed In Auto Wreck. San Francisco, Cal.-Five persons were killed and two were injured near Burlingame, a fashionable suburb, when a huge automobile, occupied by five women and two children, plunged into a steep embankment as the result of a snapping of the brakes. 1.200 Men On Nine-Hour Day. Springfield, Mo.—Twelve hundred men employed in the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad shops began to work on the nine-hour a day scale. Since July 1 they have been working eight hours, and before that only four hours. OF POLITICAL INTEREST. In a letter to William J. Bryan, Governor Johnson of Minnesota, national democratic committee for places himself at the disposal of the speaking purposes. He says he will be available about September and will go where wanted. Gossip among insurance men in New York has it that a stock exchange house has taken out a policy on the life of William H. Taft for $100,000. In the Roosevelt-Parker campaign, a Republican, who had bet on the candidate of his own party and figured that he could not lose except in the death of the Republican nominee, took out a policy on the life of Mr. Roosevelt, running to election day. The rumor said that the premium charged by Lloyds for the Taft insurance was five per cent. Complete returns in the Fifth congressional district, Texas, show that Representative S.B. Cooper, of Beaumont, was defeated for renomination by Martin Dies, of Kountze. All of the present Texas delegation were renominated, with this exception. In regard to Judge Tatt's speech, Mr. Bryan said: "I will read it, and of acceptance, Mr. Bryan said: "I will read it, and shall discuss it as I deal with the various subjects upon which it treats. For instance, in a speech at Topea, between now and the first of September, I shall discuss the guaranty of bank deposits and contrast Mr. Tatt's position with the democratic position. In my Labor day speech at Chicago September 7, I shall discuss his attitude on the labor question. In other speeches, I shall discuss his attitude on the tariff question, the trust question and other questions; upon which he has expressed himself. The first bale of "factors' cotton," or that received in the ordinary course of business for this season, was bought at the Savannah, Ga., exchange by Murray M. Stewart for the Bryan Democratic club of that city; it was immediately compressed, placarded and shipped to Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, New York. The placard announces that it is the first bale, and concludes "as surely as cotton' is king. Bryan will be elected president." The bale, is to be auctioned off in Tammany hall and the proceeds will be devoted to the Bryan campaign fund. William Jennings Bryan has issued a statement regarding the platform of the Independence party, in which he declared that a voter of that party can not possibly accomplish anything but the defeat of the very reforms in which he is interested. The statement is an intimation that the Hearst party is aimed solely to injure the Democratic national ticket and to aid the Republicans. At the union railway station in Washington there arrived, tied to the back end of a train, a large shoe directed to "Bill Taft, Washington, D.C." The shoe, which is about a number 14 size, is reported to have come all the way from San Francisco and to have been started on its journey by railroad employees. On its trip from San Francisco the shoe has had attached to it several hundred cards by railroad employees at various stations. Some of these greetings to Judge Taft are complimentary, some are ironical and some are intended to be funny. They are from both friends and opponents, politically. Charles W. Bryan remitted to Governor Haskell, treasurer of the national democratic committee, the sum of $1,504.95, given by 101 contributors to the campaign fund. Governor Haskell telegraphed two hours after his selection as treasurer had been announced that $2,780 was contributed by sixty-two residents of his town. This sum, he said, came without solicitation. Wedged tightly into the telephone booth at Hot, Springs, Va., William H. Taft was taken out only after a long delay and after a carpenter had sawed away part of the booth. Mr. Taft went into the booth, which is of ordinary size, and could not worm his way out when he had finished his talk. He called for help, but the hotel carpenter had to be procured to remove part of the booth before the nominee for president was released. A special mammoth booth has since been built, the contractor first taking the physical measurements of Mr. Taft. Invitations have been sent to William H. Taft and William J. Bryan, the rival presidential candidates, to attend the interstate fair and exhibition in Denver in September and deliver addresses. A rumor has been in circulation in New York city for some time to the effect that George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, would allow the use of his name as a candidate for the republican nomination for governor of New York against Governor Hughes. Returns from the Texas democratic state primary show an interesting change in the political attitude of that state. This change is best summarized by saying that Texas has abandoned its radical attitude and is growing conservative. An unknown person fired a shot from a gun at the boat which Judge Taft and a distinguished party had chartered for a sight-seeing trip on the Ohio River. Mrs. Charles B. Russell, who was standing next to Judge Taft at the time, was hit by several shot but was not seriously injured. James H; Budd, former governor of California, and long prominent in Democratic politics, died at his residence of Stockton, Cal., after an illness of a fortnight, of uraemia. He was 38 years old. Over a Hundred Square Miles a Sgething Mass of Flame—Greatest Conflagration in Canada's History. At least a hundred lives lost; list growing. ▲ Seven towns — Fernie, Michel, Coal Creek, Hosmer, Elko, Frank ▲ and Morrissey — destroyed and sew eral other towns partially de- stroyed. ▲ Five hundred thousand tons of coal and coke burned at Fernie. ▲ Six thousand homeless people ▲ threatened by fire and starvation. One: hundred square miles en- veloped by red peril. Ferenle, B. C., Canada.—As a result of bush fires that started Sunday, Fernle, B. C., is wiped off the map; Michel, fourteen miles distant, is in flames, and Hosmer, Olsen and Sparwood, intervening towns were damaged. More than 100 lives were lost, 74 of them in Fernie. An territory 100 square miles in extent was a seething mass of flames. Through it it were scattered hundreds of lumbermen and prospectors, so that the actual loss of life will not be known for days. Much property of the Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern railroads was destroyed, including bridges and rolling stock burned, so that it was impossible to enter, or leave the burned and burning area. Inhabitants of the affected town fed to the open county to seek safety. The railway camps placed all available trains at the disposal of refugees. The whole of the Crow's Nest Pass country was abandoned to the flames. The flames were driven by a gale, making it impossible to put up a fight against their advance. The conflagration is the greatest which has ever visited Canada. There were thousands of mines and prospectors' claims in the track of the fire. Fire-fighting apparatus was of no avail, for the air was filled with fragments of burning wood, and sheets of flames seemed to leap ahead of the conflagration as if the air itself were in flames. The heat was intense, and many of the fire-fighters went down ahead of it. Ottawa, Ontario.-Sir Wilfred Laurier received the following telegram from Cranbrook, B. C.: "Disastrous fire Kootenay Valley. Fernie, Hosmer, Crow's Nest and other places almost completely burned. Not less than 5,000 people homeless. Canadian Pacific railway carrying them to Elko and Cranbrook. Every effort is being made locally, but these are utterly without food or shelter. Fire covers 70 miles. Seventy lives lost. Immediate relief required. Telegraph instructions at once. "THONAS ROBERTS. "Liberal Association. "L. H. KING, M. P." J. H. KING, M. Fernie, B. C., is a thriving town of over 10,000 inhabitants in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. It is the center of great industrial activity, and the mines of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, one of the largest companies of its kind in the world, are located here. Since this town was founded in 1898, it has been totally destroyed four times by bush fires, but has been rebuilt after each configuration better than before. THE COTTON CROP'S CONDITION. Government Reports Note Improvement Over Last Month and 1907. Washington, D. C.—The average condition of cotton was $3 per cent on July 25, as against $1.2 a month ago, and $7 a year ago, that date according to the report of the department of agriculture which has just been given out. The condition on July 25 of previous years was $2.9 in 1996, 74.9 in 1905, and $1.4 for the past ten years. The condition of cotton July 25 and the ten year-averages respectively by states follows: Indiana, 90 and 92; North Carolina, 89 and 81; South Carolina, 84 and 60; Georgia, 85 and 81; Florida, 85 and 84; Alabama, 85 and 81; Mississippi, 86 and 80; Louisiana, 83 and 82; Texas, 82 and 82; Arkansas, 86 and 82; Tennessee, 88 and 84; Missouri, 88 and 84; Oklahoma, 66 and 65. Charles Morse WILL Regain Position New York City.—Once more Charles W. Morse, who was suddenly thrown from his position of eminence in the financial world in the panic last fall, has taken steps to regain his lost fortunes. Mr. Morse, his friends say, will deposit within a few days to the credit of Charles A. Hanna, receiver of the National Bank of North America, $2,000,000 *in cash in the subtreasury and will receive in return the assets of the bank in which he formerly controlled. That Morse, who was supposed to be in debt to the extent of $3,000,000 cash is astonishing even Wall street, accustomed as it is to constant shift of fortunes. LATE NEWS NOTES. Six smuggled Chinamen were arrested at Almogordo, N. M. They were locked in a refrigerator car loaded with fruit bound from Los Angeles to Kansas City. The seal had been broken, the Chinamen put in and the car re-sealed en route. The large coffer dam at lock No. 1 on the Tombigbee river at Demopolis, Ala, gave away and in addition to lengthy delay in rebuilding a big damage has been sustained. The dam was about two hundred and fifty-five feet long and twenty-four feet deep. Heavy rains caused a rise in the river and added to this an immense drift of logs went against the dam that it was more than it could stand. The loss is estimated at more than $50,000. Two armed pirates rowed up to a fish trap of the Alaska Packers' association just south of Point Robert, Washington, disarmed the watchman, bound and gagged him and made him with five thousand salmon, worth $2,000. Besides the fish they kept they allowed 25,000 more to escape.

William Becker, a postoffice wagon driver at Chicago, found a $50,000 check in the driveway beneath the federal building, and reported it to Superintendent Fred Day. The check was payable through the Merchants' Loan and Trust company. The trust company was notified, and a bank messenger was sent for the check. Becker is said to have been the recipient of many thanks and a $2 bill. Owing to the breaking of the principal water main in the city, Lisbon, Portugal, is threatened with a water famine. The authorities instructed the populace to fill all vessels possible before the reservoir became exhausted. Fried rattlesnake was the principal dish at a dinner eaten at a hotel at Newton, N.

R. E. Parsi No Excuse for Failure to Wage War Against Rottenness and Corruption Gilded Youth as Bad as the Hobo. By President Roosevelt. UNDAMENTALLY this country is sound; morally no less than physically. Fundamentally, in its family life and in the outside activities of its individuals the country is better and not worse than it formerly was. This does not mean that we are to be excused if we fail to contend effectively with the forces of evil, and they waste their time who ask me to withhold my hand from dealing therewith. But it is worth while to smite the wrong for the very reason that we are confident that the right will ultimately prevail. You who are training the next generations are training this country as it is to be a decade or two hence; and while your work in training the intellect is great, it is not as great as your work in training character. More than anything else I want to see the public school turn out the boy and girl who when man and woman will add to the sum of good citizenship of the Nation. It is not my province, nor would it be within my capacity, to speak about your pedagogic problems. You yourselves are far better able to discuss them. But as a layman let me say one or two things about your work In the first place, I trust that more and more of our people will see to it that the schools train toward and not away from the farm and the workshop. We have spoken a great deal about the dignity of labor in this country; but we have not acted up to our spoken words, for in our education we have tended to proceed upon the assumption that the educated man was to be educated away from and not toward labor. The great nations of mediaeval times who left such marvelous works of architecture and art behind them were able to do so because they educated alike the brain and hand of the craftsman. We, too, in our turn must show that we understand the law which decrees that a people which loses physical address invariably deteriorates; so that our people shall understand that the good carpenter, the good blacksmith, the good mechanic, the good farmer, really do fill the most important positions in our land, and that it is an evil thing for them and for the nation to have their sons and daughters forsake the work which, if well and efficiently performed, means more than any other work for our people as a whole. We have all of us often heard some good but unwise woman-say "I have worked hard; my daughter shan't work;" the poor woman not realizing that great though the curse of mere drudgery of overwork is, it is not so great as the curse of vapid idleness; and it does not make any difference whether the idleness be that of the hobo at one end of the scale or the guilded youth at the other. Do not waste time in envying the idler at either end of the social scale. Envy is not the proper attitude toward them. The proper attitude toward them is a good humored but thoroughgoing disapproval of the man or woman who is so blind not only to the interests of society as a whole, but to his or her own real interests as to believe that anything permanent can be gained from a life of selfish and vacuous idleness. The effort should be made to teach every one that the first requisite of good citizenship is doing the duties that are near at hand. But, of course, this does not excuse a man from doing the other duties, too. It is no excuse if a man neglects his political duties, to say that he is a good husband and father, still less is it an excuse, if he is guilty of corruption in politics or business, to say that his home life is all right. He ought to add to decency in home life decency in politics, decency in public life.

But, as a matter of fact, there are very few who, for twenty-four hours each day, breathe air that is in the best condition for purifying the blood when taken into the lungs. As a consequence, the bodies of those even who consider themselves well, to say nothing of the feeble, are not in the best condition to withstand any disease that may attack them. This is undoubtedly true of all diseases, but is especially marked in the case of tuberculosis. Many of us can remember when this disease was regarded with almost patient fatalism—the one stricken was to be made as comfortable as possible, and the end awaited. 'Common sense has even taken us a step farther, and proclaimed the idea that the breathing of pure air both night and day will put the human body in the very best shape to resist the attacks of disease, whether it be tuberculosis or something else. Impressed with this idea, the State of with tuberculosis is achieving a most gratifying success, with good food and pure air as the chief factors in the treatment; but the State is not content to stop with this result gained. It is not enough to help men and women to regain their health—it is worth while to try to prevent other men and women from becoming sick. Fig. III. Fig. IV. Fig. VII. Fig. V. To this end, there are being sent out through the State what are called tuberculosis exhibits. These are not (as the name might imply) of an unpleasant nature in any way. The exhibit simply shows appliances that any one can make, which will enable him to secure the desired fresh air during the night; models of outdoor, "shacks" and cabins that, while affording protection against storms, will enable one to have practically the advantages of sleeping out of doors; models of sleeping rooms as they should and should not be, with scores of photographs that show a multitude of out-of-door plans of living in actual operation. Some have sought this result by building out-door sleeping rooms on verandas and veranda roofs. But there is natural hesitancy in going out of doors to bed in zero weather, and a further hesitancy over the attracting of a neighbor's attention by such unusual proceedings. That this difficulty may be easily avoided is apparent from a consideration of the cuts which accompany this. They illustrate some of the devices that appear in the tuberculosis exhibit which I have described, and show how easily one may remain in his sleeping room and still enjoy all the benefits of sleeping out of doors. The advantage of this method of getting fresh air is apparent. One may disrobe in a warm room and get into bed before putting himself into communication with alliqui-doors. In the morning he can sever this connection and then arise in a room that is moderately warm—and he can thus avoid being regarded as "queer" by his neighbors. The plans shown are so simple that one is much more likely to put one of them into execution than he would have to build a sleeping room out of doors. Fig. I shows a single bed placed before a window. A light from frame (FIG. III) flits over the head of the bed and within the windows frame. This frame is covered with cotton cloth, as shown. After one is sanguity tucked in bed under this shield, with the loose cloth at the end and side tucked in about him, he can raise the sash and be practically our doors, though his body will be in a warm room. In cold weather the head should, of course, be protected by a warm cap, and if the window is on the "weather" side of the house, it will be well to place an awning on the outside of the window, as one does to keep out the sun in summer. This will effectually protect the sleeper from rain. A blacksmith will readily make such a frame as that shown in Fig. III, and it can be fastened to the inside of the window frame, by screw-eyes and hooks, as suggested. A square frame (Fig. IV) can be made at home from laths, which would answer much the same purpose, and be easier to cover, since the cloth could be tacked on. Another device is shown in Fig. II. Here the single bed has the head extended through the window into a little tent-like awning, the outside of which is shown in Fig. V. The iron legs of the bed will have to be slipped back to the position shown in Fig. II, or a wooden frame for the bed can be made by any one handy with tools. The bottom of the awning is entirely open, while the roof has the centre opening that is shown in Fig. V. The upper-end of this opening is protected by a raised frame covered with cloth (bed-tickling appeared to be the cloth used in the exhibit), while the lower part can be left open, to be covered in stormy or wind weather by a curtain on a regular spring roller, as shown. A cord runs from the curtain up over a little pulley at the top of the window frame and hangs down within reach of the occupant of the bed. It seemed to the writer that a simpler covering than this could be constructed, and one that would always protect from storms, while always letting in plenty of air. Such a roof could be made as in Fig. VI, which is a roof of cloth projecting some six inches at the sides and at the back, and raised Fig. I. Fig. II. above the entirely open top, as shown With such a plan it might be well to provide a cloth screen, or curtain, to close the open side from which a strong wind were blowing. The bottom of the sash (Fig. II) can have a breadth of cloth tacked to it, to come down to the bed, if it is desired to keep the room within warm during the night.—D., in The Country Gentleman. Passing of the Bad Man. It is quite evident that the old-time desperado has gone to join a good many other early characteristics of frontier lawlessness. The Wild Bills and Arizona kids have lost their terror. The day has passed when a rockless rider can charge down the main street of a mining town and chase the wary inhabitants indoors. Nor can the bad men from Bitter Creek longer hope to force the terrorized tenderfoot to perform terpsichorean stunts at the muzzle of a wicked-looking gun. The bad man of the plains is passing because he stands alone. In the early times there was a general lawless spirit to inspire him and applaud him. Now he is regarded as a nulsance. As long as he commits no harmful acts he can fume and swagger as he pleases. When he becomes dangerous he is shot down with as little ceremony as would be given a snapping hound.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Opium Trade In China An imperial decree issued by the Chinese Government points out the evils of opium, and states that the British Government has agreed to decrease its exportation for a trial period of three years in order to see whether the cultivation of the poppy and the number of opium smokers is lessened. Should such be the case, importation into China will be further decreased gradually. The degree orders the enforcement of existing regulations and the elaboration of further measures to deal with the evil.

For the Younger Children For You Chi WELL-BRED LITTLE POLLY. She never soiled her pretty clothes; She was never known to pout. When she was told to stay indoors, She never did go out. If she was told to sit quite still Upon her little chair, You really might assure yourself That she would sit right there. If only children called her names She merely told him what it She never quarreled back at them; She was a well-bred child. Of course, she never worked a bit; She couldn't sweep nor sew; She couldn't cook nor mug bed; For she was a doll, you know. -Maud Walker, in Birmingham Age Herald. THE CUCKOO'S HABITS. It is well known that the cuckoo lays her eggs in the nests of other birds. Now comes the German naturalist, Kqnrad Fuss, who breaks a lance in defense of the cuckoo's character, or rather, gives the reasons for the bird's strange habit. Owing to the unusually large stomach of this bird, he says, she has not room in the rest of her body to develop more than one egg at a time, with a week's interval between each. If she laid her eggs with such long pauses between in one family's nest, there would result a confusion of hatched, hatching and embryo progeny which would mean disaster to all. She could not herself attend to more than one nest at a time. Consequently, she is forced to exact maternal care for her eggs from other birds. She is careful to choose the nest of a worm-and-insect eating bird—preferably one in whose menu caterpillars often appear, the hairier and bigger the better, for the hungry big stomachs of the young cuckoos. Nature seems to do everything in her power to encourage the cuckoo in her apparently shiftless, lazy ways. She has no natural gift for nest-building, but lays her eggs on the ground, selzes them in her bill, and drops them by stealth into some unsuspecting neighbor's nest. Oddly enough, although the cuckoo is four times as large as the skylark, her eggs are as small as those of the lark, and pass unnoticed among the eggs of many varieties of small birds. The young cuckoo, till about ten days old—the age at which it begins to crowd legitimate progeny out of the nest—has a natural depression in its back which acts as a convenient kind of ladle for turning the luckless fledglings out into the cold world. The cuckoo, being so much larger than the other birds, fills the nest with its own bulk, and is forced to adopt these drastic measures. This act of self-preservation accomplished, the cuckoo's back assumes the comely symmetry of later life. The adopted parent does not seem to notice or resent this behavior in the least, but coddles and tends the interloper till it has reached the age of discretion, and pays no further attention to her discarded young. The cuckoo's migration is also arranged for at a much earlier date than others of the feathered world—an engagement which she could not keep if domestic cares detained her. Poetry, sentiment, scandal, superstition—since history began * the cuckoo has been, a favorite subject of all these. She is * the herald of spring, of storms; she will foretell your length of days; she becomes a hawk in the winter in order to add to her wisdom. "Cuckoo, cuckoo, dear, how many years till I marry?" is eagerly asked by peasant maidens in the springs, and the answering 'Coo, coo! Coo, coo!' as eagerly counted and implicitly believed. The earliest English song extant, written in the thirteenth century, is a joyous welcome of the first cuckoo-call in the spring. It begins "Sumer is foemen in," or, as we spell it, "Summer is a-coming in."—American Home Monthly. The sun was just peeping over the hills, the leaves on the trees stirred gently, and a sleepy voice among the branches said, "Mother, I am so hungry. When may we have something to eat?" "Yes, mother, dear," came a chorus of voices, "we are so hungry. May we have some breakfast?" "Yes, my dears," replied the little brown mother-bird, "you shall have something just as soon as I can go out and get it." Poor little mother! She had five hungry mouths to fill. But they were a happy family. Soon each of them would be able to fly and get his own breakfast. "Oh mother," cried out the little ones, "you said you were going." "Yes," said the mother, "I am. When I return, and we have eaten, I will teach your sister, Bright Eyes, to fly." "Oh," cried Bright Eyes, "how happy I shall be, for then I may help our dear mother to feed the rest of you until you are strong enough to fly." "Good-bye, mother dear!" cried the birdies, as she kissed each of them, before leaving. "I'll return soon, children," and away she flew, as happy as could be. A little boy stood by the roadside. He had a little air gun in his hands. "Oh, I see something at which I may shoot!" he cried, and pulled the trigger. There was a soft flutter, and down fell the poor mother bird with a shot through her brave little heart. "Oh, oh, oh!" cried the birdies. "Why doesn't mother come? We are so hungry." They waited until the sun was very high. "Oh!" they cried. "What is keeping our dear mother, so long?" The sun went down in the west, and still she had not returned. Poor little birdies! How they cried. At last Bright Eyes, who was the strongest, said she would try to fly and find the mother. But poor little Bright Eyes fell over the edge of the nest and lay very still upon the ground. She never opened her bright little eyes again. Then, one by one, the others grew too weak to cry any more, and they tucked their little heads underneath their wings and lay quiet in the nest. They never awoke again. The little boy who made all of this sorrow was not really cruel; he was very thoughtless. If you see a little boy who is thoughtless, dear children, just tell him about the poor little mother bird and her babies, and beg him to be kind.—American Home Mother. A ZOOLOGICAL PARTY A pencil together with a card number according to the guests present is given each one. A slip containing a number and the name of an animal is also given each guest. One at a time go to a blackboard hanging on the wall, and draw the animal for which the card calls. The others write on their cards, opposite the number, the name of the animal they think represented. At the close each marks his neighbor's card as the host reads the correct answers. A book may be given the one having the nearest correct list. At the supper following, a miniature Noah's Ark might form the centrepiece, around which toy and candy animals should be grouped in profusion. Ribbons should run from the ark to each cover, where a tiny teddy bear should mark the ladies' places, and a candy horse the gentlemen's.—Woman's Home Companion. PETER WENT HOME: "I left my dog accidentally at a friend's house yesterday," said a young girl. "My friend tried to get him to run after me, but he would not leave. He plainly held that I would soon return; that since I had gone without him, I would come back inevitably for him, and he stuck to the room where I had parted from him, feeling that it was his duty to do so. Finally my friend called me up on the telephone. "Your dog won't go," she said. 'He thinks you will be back, and we can't drive him out.' "Hold him up to the 'phone,' said I. "She held him up. "Peter," said I, 'come home; I am waiting at_home for you. Come straight home, Peter, good little dog." "Peter wagged his tall, wriggled down out of my friend's arms and set off homeward like a flash of lightning."—Home Herald. THE FROG'S BREATHING. The frog's skin is so important as a breathing apparatus that the creature would die at once of suffocation if the pores were closed by a coat of sticky varnish, by dust or in any other way. While we are speaking of his breathing you will notice that his sides do not heave as ours do at each breath we take. A frog has no ribs and cannot inhale and exhale as we do, but is obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and if you will watch this little fellow's throat you will see it continually moving in and out as one gulp follows another. In order to swallow, his mouth must be closed. Just try to swallow with your mouth wide open and you will see what I mean. A frog, then, always breathes through his nose, and if you held his mouth open he would suffocate as surely as though you gave his skin a coat of varnish.—Woman's Home Companion. Daily-Thought.

Hansen to Seek a Proteid That Will Thrive in Climate-Tenfold Increase in the Stock. To increase the supply of beef and thereby lessen its cost to the American householder is one of the principal objects underlying the efforts of the Department of Agriculture to secure a proteid that will thrive in the semi-arid regions of the Northwest. Beef and beef products have reached the highest prices recorded in twenty years, and the dealers say that this is due to scarcity of cattle. The beef market at present is being supplied by corn-fed cattle, which always bring the highest prices. Grass-fed cattle are not as good in quality as those fed on corn. The beef secured from the cattle having proteid foods included in their fare is considered the best, and despite the contentions of vegetarians it is generally conceded that the human body must receive its muscle making food from meat containing protel. It is to increase the supply of this kind of beef by increasing the protel belt in the West that the Department of Agriculture has again sent Neils F. Hansen, of Brookings, S. D., to make a thorough investigation of the plant life of Northern Russia and Siberia. Professor Hansen is a pioneer worker for the improvement of the plant life of this country and is considered as great an authority on the plant life of northern regions as is Luther Burbank on tropical plants and fruits. Professor Hansen will visit the sections of Northern Europe and Asia, where climatic conditions are similar to those of the semi-arid lands of Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and the Dakotas. In these sections an attempt was made to raise alfalfa, which has been so successfully cultivated in the more Southern States. After some time these efforts appeared to be successful, and prospective settlers soon filled this new grazing country, but in the last two years the crops have been poor and farmers have begun to leave these semi-arid sections, where cattleare fed on grass that, withstands the cold, snowless winters and dry, hot summers that prevail there. If an alfalfa or clover can be found which will withstand these climatic conditions a hundred head of cattle could be grazed on the land now, required by ten. The cattle raised in this section are now sent to Illinois, Indiana and other Eastern States to be fed on corn before being ready for market. On his previous expeditions Professor Hansen found fields of alfalfa on the steppes of Russia, thriving in a climate that corresponds with that of the Western lands, which it is hoped will be reclaimed through his efforts. He has found that these fields of alfalfa are hundreds of years old, and that the individual plants, instead of biennial, live for a generation or more. One of the most important results of the successful introduction of this northern alfalfa would be the fertilization of the soil, which would make possible the raising of wheat and other crops where little of value can now be grown. Secretary Wilson first sent Professor Hansen on an expedition for the Department of Agriculture in 1897. Since then he has made trips triennially for the department, and as a result of one of these introduced for the first time into this country the Turkestan alfaalfa, which forms one of the principal crops in the States bordering the 100th meridian. Punishing His Donkey. Not very long ago there lived near Halifax an old man who always rode on a donkey to his daily work, and tethered him while he labored on the roads or wherever else he might be. It had been pretty plainly hinted to him by one of the local landowners that he was suspected of putting it in the fields to graze at other people's expense. "Eh, squoire, Aw cudna do sich a thing, fer my donkey wean't alt" (eat) "owt bud nettles an thistles." One day the gentleman was riding along the road, when he saw the old fellow at work and the donkey up to its knees in one of his clover fields feeding luxuriously. "Halloa, John!" said he. "I understood you to say your donkey would eat nothing but nettles and thistles?" "Aye," said John, "but he's bin misbehavin' hisir, sir. He nearly kicked me I' th' chest just now, soa Aw put him thee to punish him!"—Tit-Bits. Extraordinary Lightning Strok Extraordinary Lightning Stroke. Professor A. Herschel, in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society for October last, describes the extraordinary effects produced by lightning in the midst of an open moor in Northumherland. A hole four or five feet in diameter was made in the flat, peaty ground, and from this half a dozen furrows extended on all sides. Pieces of turf were thrown in various directions, one three feet in diameter and a foot thick having fallen seventy-eight feet from the hole. Investigation showed that in addition to the effects visible on the surface, small holes had been bored in the earth radiating from the large excavation. As late as 1813 the British East India Company decided that trade with Japan was not worth cultivating. With the funny fellow To the Point. When you have a thing to say, Say it.

Cash of the First Congregational Church was greeted by large audiences at the morning and evening service. His sermons are always helpful, especially so were those on Sunday. At the termination of the evening services, in a few well chosen words, Deacon R. T. Spencer presented the pastor with a vacation purse of $28.32. This amount was collected through a few days efforts of Mr. Spencer from a few members and friends. The presentation took Rev. Cash completely by surprise, but he recovered sufficiently to heartily thank the good deacons and the donors for their unselfish act. Rev. Cash will be absent a month, during which time Rev. S.

The Farm A SORTING TABLE FOR PACKING PEACHES. Packing, Fruits and Vegetables. My experience in this line has been largely in the capacity of receiver. Consequently, I should rather suggest than dictate. In my long experience as receiver, I note very little change in methods of packing. No package is properly up for shipment that contains an article in several stages of growth or maturity. Take tomatoes, for instance. The common practice is to put half-grown and ripe in the same package. The consequence is, the half-grown never ripen and the ripe ones rot. Of course tomatoes that are put up for shipment to distant markets should not be perfectly ripe, but should be at least fully grown. All spotted and deformed stock should be rejected. The six-basket carriers or the flats make satisfactory packages. Lettuce should receive especial care. It should not be allowed to wither, but packed as cut. All decayed leaves should be picked off and in packing use both hands to tuck the outer leaves around the head to preserve it. Pack in layers with a slide pressure. Thus packed it will carry long distances, and keep fresh and crisp. Beets should be packed, with the beetskin centre of barrel instead of outside, which is the common practice. Radishes should be put up same as beets, as nearly as possible. About 100 bunches to the hamper. The great error in packing lies in the fact that the grower will not resist the temptation to put a few inferior or worthless specimens in his package. I cannot conceive why they persist in doing it when it should be as much to the grower as it is to the receiver, that a few inferior specimens will often make a two dollar package sell for one-fifty. I have paid $1 per hamper on a shipment of radishes that could not be sold for twenty-five cents. Each hamper contained about twenty-five bundles of weeds and grass and about 200 wormy radishes in each-bundle. Of course not all growers are so careless, but enough are to bring distrust on the whole business. The time is at hand when the Southern grower to be successful must identify himself with his products. His name and address on his packages should be a guarantee that they are properly graded and packed. If the Southern grower could visit our receiving centres and see how certain marks and packs were sought after he would be surprised. It is not a surplus of desirable stock that gluts our markets at times, but an accumulation of unmarketable trash which is a loss to the shipper and a hardship to the receiver.—W. J. Grounds, in the Southern Fruit Grower. Enemies of the Moth. The work of fighting the gypsy and brown-fail moths by the use of parasites has produced encouraging results. The insects brought here from Europe have increased rapidly, and are likely to make themselves at Home all through the moth section in the course of a few years. Professor Howard, of the United States Department of Agriculture, who is carrying on the work in association with, Professor Kirkland, thinks it will be several years at least before the new insects will begin to make much headway against the moths, probably not less than five years, and possibly not for ten years. As there are many species of the, insects which feed upon moths, it seems likely that some of them will thrive and multiply fast enough to keep the moths in check as they do in infested regions of Europe and Asia. A week or two ago about eighty, thousand of the parasites of the brown-tail moth were liberated. The moth officials are also making very interesting studies regarding the diseases which infect the moths. It is thought that it may be possible to prepare a spray mixture containing germs of these diseases and to spread them among the moths by spraying. There is a disease which produces a fungus threadlike growth in the brown-tail moth and which seems to spread very easily, almost exterminating some colonies of the moths. It is possible that this new idea of poisoning by the use of diseases may produce extremely important results, not only in fighting the moths, but in getting the best of other harmful insects.

L sowed the early champion oats and when they were just out of the milk I cut them for hay with the ordinary mower. I might first say that I had plowed the ground before sowing so that all stalks and weed trash were turned under. After the oats hay was off the field I disked it up well and planted cow peas, using the ordinary drill planter and planting back between each row. Along about the first of September, I think it was, at least just before frost, I cut this crop of hay. The oats and peas, fed together, make an excellent feed, and the cattle and calves eat it up readily and seem to do well upon it. Cow-pea hay contains about sixteen per cent. protein, forty-two per cent. nitrogen free extract and three per cent. fat. Cow pea hay and oats hay mixed equal parts contain about eleven per cent. protein, forty-one per cent. nitrogen free extract and 2.8 per cent. fat. Red clover contains about twelve, to fourteen per cent. protein, thirty-three per cent. nitrogen free extract and three per cent. fat. Journal of Agriculture. Good Growth on Skimmilk For several years E. R. Towle, of Vermont, a correspondent of the American Cultivator, has been using fresh, warm separator milk very successfully for calves and pigs. The milk is fed right after separation. He writes in a dairy paper as follows: The present season we are raising double the usual number of heifer calves, as they are half-blood Guernsey and we wish to change into that breed as fast as possible by grading up. They are in warm quarters and have been kept dry and clean, an important factor in itself. They are of all ages from six months to one year and are fed accordingly. They are very thrifty and are growing nicely. Some care is needed at first in not feeding too much and thus induce bowel trouble, but as they grow older the amount of milk may be increased, but they should not be overfed at any time. Have been very free from bowel trouble this season, although no unusual precautions have been taken. Like to feed with milk until several months old, as this gives them a fine start in growth before being turned out to grass or weaned. After two months old, they will eat good hay readily, or some kind of light grain ration if considered desirable. Where winter dairying is followed, this furnishes an excellent opportunity for raising calves, as they can be readily cared for and by the time there is good grass in spring will be ready to return to pasture. The idea should be to encourage a thrifty, vigorous growth of bone and muscle of the true dairy form, but not to encroach on the beef form. Some care is required in raising good stock of all kinds, but this will be abundantly repaid in the success that should always follow careful and well directed effort. Now I wish to give a little example in plg feeding. Pigs like skimmed milk right from the separator and it makes an excellent feed, especially when a proper amount of grain is added, as these animals should be kept growing and fattening at the same time. The last of February I took a Chester white pig, weighing 115 pounds, alive, and put it in a pen alone where it was warm and dry. It was fed with the skimmed milk and one quart of mixed grain feed three times a day. It was fed for fifty days and then slaughtered. The dressed weight was 178 pounds. I calculate this was equal to two pounds of increase per day, live weight. Morning and night fresh separator milk was fed. We now have a lot of fine young pigs in a pen together that are being cared for in the same manner with not yet so much grain, that are doing finely. They are white and clean, enjoy their meals and are growing larger and fatter every day. I wish to emphasize the idea of having commodious quarters for either calves or pligs, well lighted, with plenty of bedding to keep dry and clean and then feed with care and for the purpose wanted: There is a genuine satisfaction in knowing that such treatment is humane in itself-and that the results will be such as should be expected.

MANNING, of the Government Printing Office. Perhaps nothing can be more interesting in a way, to the general historian, scientific and literary man than the certain knowledge of the fact that his writings and printed records on all subjects, inclusive of even photographic reproductions in the form of "half-tones," may be handed down to those who will come after us thousands of years hence. In the course of a study of various materials suitable for the permanent preservation of valuable literary works, I investigated, among other fabrics, the linen wrappings used by the ancient Egyptians to incase the bodies of their dead. A specimen of such linen was obtained from the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, New York City, by the writer, and the age of the fabric is certified by the curator of Egyptian antiquities of the museum. Of interest possibly to the historian and Bible reader as well as those who reverence and love the work of the ancients, is the fact that the wrappings in question were taken from the body of King Merenptah, whom the Bible mentions as being the Pharaoh who ordered the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The age belongs to the Nineteenth Dynasty, which would approximate the age of 3400 years, a tremendous space of time when one stops to consider the matter. The writer, while obtaining the fabrics and looking over the various specimens submitted to him, was very fortunate to obtain by mere accident a piece containing pitch or bitumen spots, with which latter agent the Egyptians affixed the body to the inner coffin and which procedure is described by Pliny and Herodotus. The spots appealed rather strongly to the writer from the fact that they would seem to constitute conclusive proof of the lasting and non-fading properties of printing ink as manufactured and used to-day the world over. The basis of all black printing ink is lampblack or carbon (soot) to which is added and blended boiled linedseed oil, to serve as a vehicle, the oil being thoroughly mixed with the lampblack, or "milled," as it is known technically to the printing ink industry. Varnish, glycerine and a volatile dryer are sometimes added to meet the various requirements of the printing trade, but the basis is, or should be, always carbon (lampblack) and boiled linedseed oil for black printing ink. The lampblack is obtained from a resinous material similar to the bitumen of the ancients that left the spots or impression on the linen. The manner of receiving the ink impression as obtained on paper or even linen fabric is made up of both a mechanical and a chemical union. By a chemical union I mean the fact that the linseed oil carries a certain proportion of the carbon or lamp-black into the agent printed upon, thus staining the parenchyma of the cellulose cell. By a mechanical union, I mean the excess ink that may lodge on the surface of the agent printed upon by virtue of its adhesiveness. In the Egyptian mummy wrappings to which I have already referred the bitumen stain or chicme union has remained unto this day, as would the stain or impression of printing ink so received, beyond all doubt. As a further proof of this statement and the unchanging color of carbon (lamphlack) note should be taken of the color of coal, almost pure carbon, which for ages has retained its color. Lehner has called attention to the lasting properties of linen fabrics as used by the ancients, and urges a better quality of printing paper containing a larger proportion of linen fibre. The objection to paper, whether it is composed of cotton, linen or wood fibres, as concerns printed records for a long period of time might be thus summarized: The fact that all paper is composed of very short fibres held together by a glue or size and the initial pressure given by the heated cylinders on the paper-making machine may be urged. Certain kinds of blotting paper may be mentioned as an unsized or glueless paper, the fibres being held together by pressure only. The best grade of book paper may be cited as an engine-sized or glued paper. Long periods of time or exposure to dampness may disintegrate the size or glue that holds or blinds the fibres together. If you are sufficiently interested, wet a piece of paper and note how easily the printed sheet drops to pieces. The bleaching process to which the paper stock is subjected would seem to form a very important feature in connection with the lasting properties of paper also. Chlorine and bleaching powders are used extensively for this purpose, and the difficulty seems to be that when the elements are removed which go to make up the various colorings, both natural and artificial of the paper stock before being bleached, the chlorine probably combines chemically in the form of a chloride or a hypochlorous oxide indirectly, from the fact that the chlorine will unite with nearly all elements directly save oxygen and a few others. Very likely for this reason it later exists as a weak acid in the paper stock, probably as hypochlorous, when the finished paper is acted upon by the moisture of the atmosphere. It is known that hypochlorous oxide will unite with water to form hypochlorous acid. It is therefore a difficult matter to neutralize the bleached paper stock because of this chemical combination The effect of the process just described is noticed when the average book printing paper is exposed to the air, even under cover, for any length of time. Note, if you are interested, the light yellow tinge that makes its appearance, followed in due course of time by a dark yellowish green hue. This condition is followed later by an increasing brittleness to such an extent that one hesitates, in some instances, to turn a leaf down for fear of cracking the sheet. The yellow tinge is not noted so early in papers whose surfaces are sized, because the film of the size very likely protects the hypochlorous oxide from the air. Sooner or later it makes its appearance as a slight discoloration. This chemical action, as the result of bleaching, must necessarily go on until the sheet is disintegrated. Although we have no positive proof of this latter statement, yet it is known that the slow continuous chemic action, once in motion, must continue as long as there is material left upon which to perform its work. The first paper makers used the sun to bleach their paper stock, and while they were never enabled by this method to obtain the extreme whiteness obtained by the use of chlorine by modern paper makers, yet their product does not show the chemic action just described and the bleaching appears to have been accomplished in a perfectly natural and harmless manner. In linen fabrics of a very fine mesh and texture and of an unbleached variety, the objections raised against the paper, it would appear, are easily overcome. The fact that one can be always sure of the absolute purity of the linen so used as compared with the uncertainty of even linen paper and its composition, is very important. The printing impression so received upon the fabric is beautifully clean cut, and stands out as distinctly as, if not more so than on paper. Even half-tone cuts can be printed on linen. There is also the added fact that the fibres of linen are very long, and as such are twisted into threads and these threads woven in such a manner that each succeeding thread locks the other in place in a mechanical manner, as in the ancient Egyptian wrappings which have defied time itself, even when exposed to the elements and the careless usages of ages. The further fact that the linen may be used in its unbleached state unacted upon by chemicals used for bleaching purposes, and the very important feature that the printing ink impression cannot be removed from the fabric, which is possible with comparative ease when parchment is used as the substance printed upon, are two excellent reasons why linen should be used for documents which are intended to be permanent. It has been proposed, and the matter is now before the Joint Committee on Printing of Congress for action, to print upon linen sheets precisely the same as a sheet of paper, at the expiration of the regular paper edition, two copies of the more important government publications. It is further proposed to encase each volume so printed in a bath of paraffin wax and thus to seal the volume hermetically from extraneous or atmospheric influences. Taking the year of 1907 as a basis it will cost, approximately, to print two linen copies of the revised edition of the Congressional Record, constituting some 5000 pages, not over $65 for the fabric so utilized. No change in existing printing machinery is necessary and it is but the work of a few moments to produce the printed linen sheets.—Scientific American. The Girl For Him.

"If I were you," suggested the operator when he delivered the message, "I'd think twice before I marry a girl that kept me waiting all day for my answer." "Na. na," retorted the Scot. "The lass who waits for the night rates is the lass for me."—From Everybody. The Impulse of Thrift. The man of affairs addressed the school briefly, but in such tones of earnest appeal that the boys are not likely to forget his admonitions. His text was the importance of little things, even in an age of great things; and the plth of his discourse lay in a single sentence: "Take care of the millions, and the billions will take care of themselves." They that heard him were citizens of the future. Who knows but more than one of them, consecrated himself, upon the impulse of that moment, to thrift?—From Puck. London's Water Supply. The water supply of London is derived from the Thames and Lee rivers and from springs and wells. According to the Lancet it is adequate for the present, though the per capita consumption, is only thirty-three or thirty-four gallons as against a consumption of 200 gallons in Chicago. GOOD ROADS One Thousand Miles of Good Roads. It will probably be news to the majority of motorists to hear that within the past ten years nearly 1000 miles of improved highways have been built in this State at State, county and town expense, and that 1034 miles of roads are now under contract and 977 miles of roads waiting for the letting of contract under the new State law. In 1906 the State appropriated for highway improvement $5,000,000, in 1907 $3,000,000 and in 1908 $3,000,-000, making $1,000,000 available now and $2,000,000 available in the fall. An examination of the State Engineer's bulletin No. 14 discloses the fact that three counties in the State have completed and under contract at least 140 miles, one county 100 miles, two counties ninety miles, two counties eighty miles, two counties sixty miles, five counties fifty miles, four counties forty miles, four counties thirty miles and twenty-seven counties, one-half the entire number of the State, less than thirty miles each. The present statute is so drawn that the mileage to be improved in any one county in each year is dependent not upon equitable distribution to each county, but on a ratio determined by the number of miles on the highway map approved by Chapter 715 of the Laws of 1907, to which must be added the total number of miles in each county completed, and then this sum is multiplied by two, and a ratio then established, which the appropriation and the mileage so determined in each county bears to the $50,000,000 bond issue. It is very evident that the statute so drawn carries larger annual improvements to the counties having the large mileage on the map plus the large mileage improved, and that they are being taken care of faster than the other counties. Those who have studied the law do not consider it fair or proper. The law is repealed by the new highway code, but the repeal does not go into effect until January, 1909. — Duncan Curry, in the New York American. Make Autos Pay Toll. A lady, writing for the Indianapolis Daily News, about automobiles that pass her country home, uses some plain, but forcible, words in venting her indignation. She says: "If our roads are to be made safe for all sorts of travel, shall not the automobile be made to pay for the improvement? As it is, the driver of horses must keep out of the way; in other words, he must get off his own road. Monstrous unfairness! Inordinate injustice! What a wonder we submit to it! We have a lot of laws supposed to govern the automobile and all of them seem in favor of the driver of horses. But, who is out on the road to enforce these laws, and how helpless we are in the race of the speeding machine." She makes the suggestion that we put forth some weeks ago, that "the autos be made to pay toll" or taxes to widen and improve the roads so we can give them a wide berth and have some show to manage an obstreperous horse or get out of the way. That plan may have to be taken to allow both kinds of vehicles to use the same roads. Have two roads side by side, and require the auto people to keep to one of them exclusively, and pay for making it and keeping it in repair. There would be nothing unfair about that, to the machine people at least. If any reader has any feasible plan to suggest that is better than this we shall be pleased to hear it. The 'auto is here to stay; how can we best protect ourselves from its encroachments and dangers?'—Indiana Farmer. The Human Touch. "Janie had a doll that would say 'papa' and 'mamma.'" "What became of it?" "Janie's mother is an advanced person and she said the doll was an inexcusably childish reminder of a grossly benighted period." "And what did she do?" "She threw it in a dark closet where Janie didn't dare to go. And then a day or two later she happened to step on it in the dark and it shrieked 'mamma!' so naturally that she fell over in a faint and bumped her head and had two buckets of water poured over her before she recovered consciousness."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Heroic Poem. There is no heroic poem in the world but is at bottom a biography, the life of a man; also it may be said, there is no life of a man, faithfully recorded, but is a heroic poem of its sort, rhymed or unrynmed.—Thomas Carlyle. Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

CAB SERVICE IN MEXICO. Close Tab on the Hackmen—Different Kinds of Vehicles and Charges. Kinds of Vehicles and Charges. "In the City of Mexico there is the complete inspection of the cab service I've ever seen anywhere," said Col. J. M. Strange, of St. Louis. "The police in the capital of the alster republic keep such close tab on the hackmen that it is the rarest thing for any argument to ever rise between a cabby and his fare. The stranger speedily finds out that there is an easy way of telling the difference of tariffs in the public conveyances. The cabs are differentiated by the flags they carry and stripes on the side of the vehicle. It is a color scheme. Blue cabs are $1 an hour and red cabs only 75 cents. The blue flag rigs are of course a trifle smarter and have horses a shade better than the cheaper ones denoted by the red flag and crimson stripes." Also the pilgrim from the United States must take notice that if the top of the carriage is thrown back he must pay an additional 25 cents per hour. "Hack inspectors are kept at regular stations through the city. When a cab is seen to leave the railway station it is stopped by one of these officials, who takes its number, the number of passengers, their destination and the time. This information goes to the central office and is recorded. All this trouble is taken in the interest of the public, and that is why one gets good service and is rarely imposed on by the public johus of the Mexican capital."—Baltimore American. Many pale, sickly persons wonder for years why they have to suffer so, and eventually discover that the drug —caféine— in coffee is the main cause of the trouble. "I was always very fond of coffee and drank it every day. I never had much flesh and often wondered why I was always so pale, thin and weak. "About five years ago my health completely broke down and I was confined to my bed. My stomach was in such condition that I could hardly take sufficient nourishment to sustain life. "During this time I was drinking coffee, didn't think I could do without it. "After awhile I came to the conclusion that coffee was hurting me, and decided to give it up and try Postum. I didn't like the taste of it at first, but when it was made right —boiled until dark and rich—I soon became very fond of it. "In one week I began to feel better. I could eat more and sleep better. My sick headaches were less frequent, and within five months I looked and felt like a new being, headache spells entirely gone. "My health continued to improve, and to-day I am well and strong, weigh 148 lbs. I attribute my present health to the life-giving qualities of Postum." "There's a Reason."

COX Vet. ey = Subject: Church of the Future. Spoke of “ihe Churcn of the Future,” ysuch a church as he would like to see “built and sustamed. Among other things he sald: The Church of the Evangel—Con- Sregational—tis free in its offer of church membership to any persons who, without accepting its creed as a test, will make a single and simple ' confession, that they believe Jesus to be the supreme expression to men, In human form, of, what God is like, and what He would have us become.” This 4s what we mean by modernism, That the Ife of a church «depends not upon its creed, but upon its spirit. Therefore we do not insist that any one else shall accept our creed in the exact terms in which we interpret it. It ts impossible for a thinking Man not to have a creed of some sort. But as Congrezationalists wo agree to differ upon all matters that we deem unessential. We believe that the example of the life of Jesus| as we have It In the four gospels is sufficient to make any man who will try it such a man as God would ac- cept as His eternal friend, and help toward perfection of character. Therefore we ask of a man who wishes to Join our church, not what does he think concerning the lead- ing religions doctrines of his day, but does he belleve in following Jesus as the Master of men and is he honest- ly trying to do so? His creed only interests us as the intellectual ex- pressions of his moral and religious character. He depends for his at thority in religion exactly as we do, upon direct communication with God's spirit. So, in this intellectual attitude toward religion, we do not decry or unkindly criticise those other religious bodies whose adher- ents differ very widely from our view. We believe. firmly and grate- fully that Greek and Roman Catholi- cism, all forms of Protestantism, ‘Unitarian and Trinitarian, as well as Judaism, have each contrib- uted much ‘to the world’s religious Wife, and that even the faiths of the Orient, both ancient and modern, have been a part of God's growing revelation to the world. : The social message of Christianity has Jong beén misunderstood or ne- glected. Now it is being proclaimed everywhere, and no live church can escape !ts appeal. In the church we gare to build, and the work we seek *to do, we must recognize its place. I have spent ten years amid social problems, six years in the Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan Island. I belleve .that my experience has equipped me in some humble way to preach the gospel of Jesus, and build up a church.that shall represent the Mfe of God {a the souls of men. I do not need to proclaim myself a Socialist of any brand, nor to jcin some new ism, in order to love my fellow men and serve them. To me the biggest opportunity in life is to be a Christian—a Christ’s mat, to serve men. What kind-of a church. then, da I hope to see built and for ‘what work? Christianity and Socialism alike seek the development of an efficient “society, social order of stable equilibrium. But Christianity in- sists that there can be no perfected society, except by the cegeneration of each Individual. It is not enough to provide a perfect environment of justice and live by the most beauti- ful socialistic legislation; there-must be a moral power in each person, causing him to fit in to such a per- fect society! Such a moral power can never be produced by perfect economic and social legislation, but by the making of a new moral’ man in each individual by some Divine ‘power outside himself. Such a power has not been fotind outside Jesus Christ, however Ho is to be interpreted. e If the Christian religion is to gmake each individual an efficient imember of society, it can only do so as it perfects each function of that individual man. The Christian re- Ugion must improve his body as well as his mind and soul. It cannot achieve one and neglect either or both of the others. . Our supreme work, however,” ts the culture of the soul. Few of us can define what we mean by the soul. But all of us understand* what is meant by the culture of the soul. ‘The phrase appeals to me more and more powerfully as I grow oldor. The development and enrichment of the highest powers within us so that ‘we feel our personality ennobled by the kindling of sacred fires and the consciousness of divine passions over which we know this transitory world bas no ultimate dominion. The cul- ture of the soul involves for me three elements! worship, education and work. . What fs worship? It 1s devotion, instruction, evangelism. In devo- tion man's soul expresses his grati- tude to God for life and its hopes, his contrition for conscious sin, and his prayer for strength to endure the discipline of bis spiritual education, and to achieve his final spiritual vic- fory over the lower and sinful self. By instruction man seeks to acquire in orderly possession by sure knowl- edge those doctrines of faith which describe in his own language the ex- world has no ‘other Mterature com- parable to the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old Testament and the Chris- flan writings of the New Testament. These writings, a Ubrary of sixty- sit books, commonly called by us the Bible, constitute a marvelous Pook of ite, with every varlety of umaii experience, written’ in every type of Ilterary "presentation, and possessed all through by a marvelous moral power, a spiritual ilumina- tion and a grip on man’s moral being which make this Bible something in man’s Ife which he cannot avoid without moral loss, and cannot read without spiritual reproof and re- morse or defiance or repentance. The Bible must be reckoned with. Man has a right to its constant perusal and self-interpretation which some churches deny to him. Millions of our fellow men go through life un- conscious of this prieeless posses- sion, which, if they once realized its existence and value, they would give alt else to be able to enjoy and pos- sess. Millions more in Protestant Christerdom come to years of ma- turity utterly. ignorant of the real yalue and moral vitality of this great book of God, and though nominally accepting {ts contents at thelr pre- sumed face value, place no actual rellance upon it as a source of life. This is partly due to an unreal meth- od of interpretation, partly to an unreal theological duthority, and partly due to its exclision from our public system of education as a Uterature for literary analysis and examination, and as a great treasure house of moral information capable of being memorized without re-, course to sectarian explanation of ecclesiastical influence of sinister de- sign. No Congregationalist belfeves in State aid to religious communi- ties or ecclesiastical objects. Let every religious organization stand or fall, live or die. according as it ex- fall, Ive or die, according as it gives It a rient to live in a free at-, mosphere which is guaranteed as a. necessity of life. How then is Bible study to be pursued? By rauipping every church as a thorovgh Bible school with every modern facility known to pedagogy. philosophy, psychology and religious adminis- tration. ‘The churéhes of the future ,cen- turies will only live as they” are worthy to llve with the advancing sclences of government, industry and education. We are to do the work of build- ing up men in Christtan cHaracter. Not merely’ moral men, or educated men, or civilized men,” but men re- deemed and reconstructed in charac- ter by the power of a Person whom we love and worship as the Christ of God, and apart from whom we do not ‘believe this sniritual life of re- generation ts possible. This work demands that each member of the Christian church shall do his share. It demands that we shall live and work for the com- munity all the time. Not for our- selves—the community and the community Father will care for us. Some sonis need worship, some need social life, some need good books, some need physical culture. as the starting point of a new intellectual life or spiritual passion. The Chris- tian church can sanctify il these modes of renewing men’s life. It must be a working institutfon. Open, at all reasonable hours, for all ra- tional purposes that ald in religious development. It must be the sreat spiritual centre from which radiates the religious streagth of the homes that stand around it and to which comes the spiritual response that mul- tiplies and maintains its pqwer afd resources. Reconciled. A young husband and wife were walking, one summer evening, through’ a country churchyard, and they were attracted by two little ‘graves, side by side, on which were laid wreaths and crosses of fresh flowers. The date of the little ones" death was seen by the headstone, some years back. The names were ‘those of two children, only two and ‘three years old, and underneath were ‘the words, “Thy will be done.” “How dreadfully sad!” said the young husband. | “If our baby were to die I could never say that,” said the young wite, pointing to the text. ’ “Let us hope you will not be tried,” said the young husband. But when they returned home that night they-found the baby ailing, and before very long, a little grave—such a little grave!—had to be dug for It, too, For a time the poor mother's heart rebelled terribly. She mourned as one who had no hope, and on the tombstone of her little one she had Yinseribed the words: “I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.” Later on, through years of trial and suffering, God led her to a better mind; and when, a woman old in sor- row and years, she visited the grave where her chiliiand husband wereboth lying, she resolved to have that mur- ‘muring inseription altered, and: in- stead of it was written, “Where the treasure {s, the heart is also;” and beneath: again, the text which once she thought,sie could not say, “Thy will be doe."—Home Herald, Sincerity is Not Enough. Here is a man who is sowing what appears to be black ashes, A friead accosts him, saying: “Ivhat have you got in your bag?” He learns that it is the hulls of buckwheat — the chaff of old wheat; and he says: “What are you sowing chaff for?” “Why,” the man replies, “I have the impression that it a ‘man Is only faithful and sincere, it makes 90 difference what he sows.” Does it not make a’ difference?

All discussion on the subject and on every phase of the subject, was terminated in the house Thursday morning when the bill of Representative Alexander of DeKalb, prohibiting by constitutional amendment, any further leasing of convicts after December 31, 1911, was passed by the practically unanimous vote of 147 to 3. The bill will go at once to the senate, to which the Holder bill was sent during the morning, and the whole convict question is now in the hands of the senators. July 31. A quorum of the members of the house could not be kept in the hall Thursday morning and after passing a bill requiring candidates to file their campaign expenses with the proper officers and a bill prohibiting corporations or their officers from contributing to campaign funds the house adjourned. August 1. The house was in session but one hour Saturday during which time the following bills were passed: By Mr. Tyson of Emanuel to prescribe how real estate owned by Tattnall county shall be sold; by Messrs. Blackburn and Bell of Fulton, to amend charter of College Park, to amend act creating charter of College Park; by Messrs. Fowler and Ryals of Bibb, to pay John P. Ross certain attorney's fecs; by Messrs. Walker and Ashley of Lowndes, to amend act incorporating Sylvester; by Mr. Pope of /Brooks, to regulate log carts in Brooks county; by Mr. Rogers of Randolph, to amend act creating board of roads and revenues; by Mr. McWilliams of Henry, to clear constructions from running streams in Henry county; by Mr. Brown of Carroll, to amend act incorporating Temple; by Mr. Cook of Telfair, to establish public school system in Lumber City; by Messrs. Flanagan and Holder of Jackson, to amend charter of Winder; by Messrs. Young and Tuggle of Troup, to amend charter of Hogansville; by Mr. Fulbright of Burke, to extend the city limits of Waynesboro; by Messrs. Alexander and Candler of DeKalb, to create public school system for Lithonia; by Mr. Cowan of Rockdale, to provide for clearance of county streams; by Mr. Hule of Clayton, to amend charter of Jonesboro; by Mr. Clifton of Toombs, to repeal act incorporating Ohopee. Senate Bills: By Senator Wilkes, to incorporate town of Kingwood; by Senator Lashley, to prevent fishing in Braselton creek in Union county. August 3. A report from the committee on rules was ordered by the house providing that no special orders shall be set during the remainder of the session, with the exception of the service pension bill of Mr. Foster of Cobb, which was made a special order for Wednesday morning, August 5. The report also provided that thirty minutes each day, immediately after the confirmation of the journal, shall be allowed for the introduction of new matter and the reading of bills a second time. A bill allowing counties to levy a tax for maintaining county police was passed 129 to 9. August 4. By the vote of 71 to 75 the house of representatives Tuesday defeated the bill by Mr. Fraser of Liberty providing for the increased protection of fish and game. The bill provided for the appointment of a game warden and deputy warden, named the conditions under which hunting and fishing should, be allowed and sought to make an appropriation of $50,000 for the purpose of enforcing its provisions, the money to be taken from the funds accruing from the violations of the law and the fees received for issuing hunting and fishing licenses. The discussion of this bill had the attention of the house the entire session. August 5. The first business done in the house of representatives Wednesday morning was the passage under unanimous consent, of the bill, according to the new county of Ben Hill a representative in the House. At the request of Mr. Perry of Hall the bill was sent immediately to the senate. A resolution by Mr. Alexander of DeKalb was adopted, providing that until otherwise preferred, the house shall hold afternoon sessions from 3 until 5 o'clock. A bill which provides that every Confederate veteran in the state who is not worth more than $1,000 shall receive a pension and every widow of a veteran with the exception of those who shall have re-married since 1870, was passed by a vote of 139 to 1. At the time of adjournment of the morning session the "near beer" bill was under discussion and was made the special order for the afternoon session. The house of representatives spent most of the afternoon session discussing the resolution to call the attorney general to take action against the Ducktown copper mines and at the time of adjournment had not heard all the arguments that are to be presented. The following bills were passed by the house: By Mr. Mercer of Terrell, to abolish Dawson light and water commission; by Mr. Eaves of Haralson, to incorporate town of Buchanan. The plumbers' strike at Columbus is over for the present. Under a temporary agreement with the master plumbers of the city the strikers have returned to their work. Just what this temporary agreement is has not been given out. The strikers were receiving $4 a day for nine hours' work, and they demanded $4.50 a day for eight hours' work. The master plumbers feel that the general conditions that prevail at this time do not justify such increase in wages and a shortening of hours. IN THE SENATE July 31 A measure of great importance to the bankers and people of the state came before the senate on Friday in the banking bill originally introduced by Senator Deen, which was passed with an amended substitute. The bill provides for a state bank examiner and all necessary assistants and for a more careful examination of the banks throughout the state. The substitute was drafted by the committee on banking and the amendment to the substitute, which was offered by Senator Martin, provides that endorsements and re-discounts shall be excluded from the limit of the liability of a bank. The bill by substitute as amended was then passed by the following vote: Ayes, 26; nays, 2. The remainder of the session was taken up with the consideration of local house bills. Senator Peacock presided with rare good humor during the last part of the session. August 1. There was no session of the senate Saturday, that body having adjourned Friday until Monday. August 3. Senator Steed presided in the senate Monday in the absence of President Flynt, who was called to his home at Griffin Friday on account of the death of his father. A bill to provide for the care and protection of delinquent and dependent children under sixteen years of age was the special order for the day, but it was tabled without discussion. Senator Stephens, chairman of the committee to investigate the charges of drunkenness preferred by Mr. John T. Moore of Macon against the committee that investigated the Blbb Brick company's camp in November, 1907, made a report, which was-read. A bill by Senator Griffin to provide for resurvey of disputed county lines was passed. August 4 A resolution was offered in the senate Tuesday that the governor be requested to call an extra session of the legislature to consider the convict lease system. It was defeated by a vote of 32 to 7. Senator Felder's bill to abolish, the convict lease system after eighteen months and place the convicts on the public roads was then taken up as a special order and a number of amendments offered. The bill was still under discussion when the senate adjourned at 1 o'clock. The following bills were passed in the senate. By Senator Dobbs—To establish a new charter for the city of Atlanta. By Senator Dobbs—To create a new charter for the city of Marietta. By Senator Dobbs—To incorporate the town of Battle Hill. By Senator Dobbs—To provide a municipal government for the town of Edgewood, DeKalb county: By Senator Hudson—To require a license or tax of all persons selling, soliciting or taking orders for photographs, portraits, etc. (Bible alone excepted), in Harris county. August 5. The senate voted not to hold afternoon sessions and after hearing the reading of a special message from the governor decided to table all bills dealing with the convict lease system pending the decision of the governor to call an extra session of the general assembly. by Mr. Massengale of Warren, to amend act incorporating Norwood; by Mr. Payton of Worth, to amend charter of Sylvester.

Next Tuesday in the city of Macon the Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star will meet in its tenth annual session. There are nearly one hundred chapters in the Grand Chapter with a large membership. There will be delegates from nearly each one of the chapters. The session is expected to be the largest ever held: The members of the two chapters in Macon are arranging to make the session very pleasant. The Grand Chapter will call on at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, and the regular business will be attended to. At night at Stewart's, Chapel, the literary exercises will take place. The session of the Grand Chapter is expected to last not longer than two days. During the past month nearly two thousand dollars were collected for the relief department. This shows progressiveness. Before leaving for Europe the Grand Master issued his proclamation and sent a copy to each lodge in the jurisdiction. The proclamation was well received by the brethren. From Secretary W. T. Wilson of Seven Star Lodge, writes the following: Death has visited our circle, and has taken from us Brother J. C. Council, who was loved by all the brethren. He was a faithful brother. An hour after completing his work he lay down to rest and died suddenly on the night of the 27th. He was buried at Atkinson, Ga. The W. M. assembled the craft and deposited his remains on the 30th. MACON, GA. Past Patron J. H. Walker assisted by Past Patron L. H. Burdell and Past Matron M. L. Walker and Sister Lucy Daniels of Central City Chapter No. 46, set up a new chapter in the city on the 28th instant, with about fifty members, consisting of some of the best citizens of Blbh county. After conferring the degrees they gave one of the finest spreads that heart could wish, the officers are as follows: Sister Lucy Daniels, Royal Matron. Brother C. B. Lane, Royal Patron. Sister A. Jones, Associate Matron. Sister C. B. Lane, Treasurer. Sister Julia Halaway, Secretary. Sister T. S. Simmons, Conductress. Sister Laura Perry, Associate Conductress. Rev. J. T. Stephens, President Sister E. J. Tatum, Marshal in the East. Sister Ira Edmondson, Marshal in the West. Brother F. M. Jones, Associate Patron. Brother J. W. Huges. Sentinel. After which they were duly installed. They choose the name for their chapter "Hosanna" praising God as they travel. They were accepted in our band of the Rite, all will be represented at the Grand Chapter with application for charter. We are looking forward for a grand harmonious session, of the Grand Chapter on the 11th inst. The committee is notifying the delegates very rapidly of their homes while in attendance of the Grand Chapter. L. H. B. "ALL COONS LOOK ALIKE TO ME." Of all expressions which have gained favor in the popular mind during the present or past century, none have wielded a worse influence against the Negro than has the one just quoted. None, having for an object the uplift of our people, have gone nearer to the heart of popular thought than this sentence, simple, but apt, jocular, mayhap, but diabolical and dangerous. Colined for cash rather than curse, it has brought both—cash to originator and curse to those giving grounds (?) for its origin. For its unprecedented popularity, the age, rather than the luguenity of the originator is responsible. Being set to tune in "Rag Time," it caught the spirit of "Rag Time" age, and upon a "Rag Time" wave upon the "Rag Time" sea of "Rag Time" song, it floated serenely to the hearts of a "Rag Time" people and carried rumblous results to all of the people. These words did not find favor in the hearts of the white race, alone, or the baneful effect would not have been so far-reaching. But the very people at whom its infamy was almed aided, materially, in swelling the purse of the composer by the purchase of the sheets and the singing of the tune and handling its sentiment to those of the race who can neither play, sing nor read. By the white people, the song was most naturally purchased, its verses learned and the aplest lines, used for the amusement of all kinds of gatherings and for the chagrin of those of the Negro race who accepted the expression as untimely but injurious. I have no doubt but that the composer, "while blowing" the coin that came to him as the result of the sale of the aphorism in song, oftimes reflected upon the baneful effect it had upon the popular mind; for he afterwards had "troubles of his own." True it is, that misery loves company, for my mind reverts to the fact that it was during the early stakes of the sep- aration of this versatile songwright from "Miss Stubbles," that his heart poured out this veritable "bosh" that has done its work so well. And now, there is no more popular and universal expression in the glossary of slang than is "All Coons Look Allke to Me." It does overtime, in the vocabulary of the people of all sections of this great country, and sad to say, it is as popular with the Negro as with the Caucasan. "O the times! O the customs! We see, the object of the thrust and yet laud its perpetrator! How long will this state of affairs last? To what extent will we aid in carrying the baneful affront? How long will we continue to drink the cup of venom that poisoneth our pride and scurgeth our ambition and mocketh our creation? NOBLE SENTIMENTS. I believe that Masonry is the grandest work that exists on earth for the progress of man. Masonry is broad enough to believe that no matter who it is or to what race he may belong, that he who performs a noble deed has taken a step toward God. There is no man in this presence tonight who would exchange his connection with the Masonic fraternity for that of any other organization in the world. We are proud of Masonry. It is glorious to know and to realize that the main principles of Masonry today are the same principles of justice and fraternity for all mankind that accompanied the order centuries ago. It is a glorious thing, of which we may be proud to know and appreciate the fact that the principles of political and religious freedom which were made the corner stones of this republic of ours were cradled and fostered and nourished by the Masonic fraternity, in whose roster appears the names of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Lafayette and hundreds of others. Masonry has done more than any other organization for the establishment here, in this land, of one nation under one flag. Freedom, peace and toleration—toleration for every man, be his beliefs what they may—a nation which guarantees these things not only to its own citizens, but to all those who make it their home—a nation which will give them just laws and the common right of humanity, the right to worship God as it sees fit—Henry Deutch. EASTERN STAR GEMS. Let us gather the ripe fruits of experience and preserve them for our guidance in the future, let us weave laurels for those "who have stopped on the way" and are now numbered with those things of the past.—Harriet Lillian Sweeney, Arizona. We are proud to welcome among us an order that has for its beacon light the Star of the East, and such ennobling principles as those of the Order of the Eastern Star—but what of the principles, if we live them not in our lives.—Sister Annie Raney, Arkansas. Like the fire in the opal's heart, there burns in man an inner soul.—Harriet H. D. Holmes, Maine. If our ceremonies and symbols are the ultimate to us, they are mere child's play, but if the principles we inculcate become in each of us incarnate, then indeed have we successfully reached our goal.—Marie S. Weeks, Florida. Masonry will never die. It is immortal, because the fundamental principles of Masonry are based on religion. Masonry is the greatest and oldest institution in the world. The order goes back to ancient history to almost the beginning of the human race, and its origin way back in history has come down to us not weaker, but with the strength that scarcely knows any limitations. It is a sweet and splendid organization to which we owe our allegiance.—Vice President Fairbanks. FEMININE NEWS NOTES. Miss Ethel J.
