VOL. XXV. Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, Answers His Critics. ANNOUNCES FOR GOVERNOR Tennessee's Governor Says the Press of the Country Has Inflamed People Against Act He Had Right to Perform. Nathville, Tenn. — Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, announcing his candidacy to succeed himself for a third term, subject to the democratic primary of June 4, denounces prohibition and the action of the insurgent of the democratic party and offers a frank, open defense of his pardoning Duncan B. Cooper, convicted together with his son, Robin J. Cooper, of the murder of former United States Senator, Edward W. Carmack. He also denounces the press for criticising the pardoning of Cooper. In opening his defense of the pardoning of Cooper, Patterson says: during or Cooper, Patterson says: "My reasons for pardoning Colonel Cooper have already been given, and need no iteration. It may not be amiss, however, to present certain other facts which may have escaped the public in the din and clamor which have been raised. Outside newspapers might be excused for misstatements, for their information is partial; but there is no palliation for those in our own state who have sought to stigmatize me and infame the passions of men against an act which I had the right to perform. Those have said that Colonel Cooper was my friend, and one of my chief counselors. This is true, and it was true long before Senator Carmack became a candidate for governor. My relations with Colonel Cooper were close and intimate, and no attempt has ever been made to deny or conceal that fact. At one time so were the relations between Colonel Cooper and Senator Carmack." In closing his defense of the Cooper pardoning, Patterson says: "But I am condemned because it is said I acted hastily and without proper decorum; but is it true? This case was different from any other which had ever come before me. I had read every line of the evidence, was just as familiar with the record as any member of the supreme court; had testified at the trial, and my mind was fully made up, not only that Colonel Cooper was not guilty, but that he was in some degree the victim of his association with me. Those who are fiercest in their denunciation are those who wanted him convicted because of our close friendship. If I delayed action, waited for petitions, and involved the state in further uncertainty and unrest, these same men would have been the first to denounce me for cowardice and to attribute delay to fear and weakness. "There is not a man in Tennessee who knew me but believed I would pardon Colonel Cooper if he was convicted, and I knew it. Then why delay? Why act a part? Why not assume the responsibility and end it? When I say this, I do not want any one to suppose I did not then and do not now realize the gravity of my act, for of this I am deeply and keenly conscious. I did not want the responsibility. I had hoped it might never come, but when it did I met it. Right or wrong, I have acted, and men may differ about it as they please. My own conception of duty is fulfilled. But I am willing to stand or fall, to be judged here or hereafter." EXPORT OF FOOD. United States Shipped $330,000,C Worth of Food Last Year. Washington, D. C.—Exports of foodstuffs from the United States for the fiscal year 1910 will amount to about $330,000,000 in value, according to the estimate of the department of commerce and labor for the nine months ending March last, as against more than $450,000,000 in 1906, $500,000,000 in 1909 and over $550,000,000 in 1908. The report shows that the foodstuffs were higher in prices during the last year, while in many cases the exports were less than half what they were in the previous year. The cattle, exported in the nine months ending with March, 1910, numbered about 127,000, indicating for the full fiscal year about 175,000. In 1904 the cattle exports were 593,000. The value of cattle exports in 1910 will be approximately $16,000,000, compared with more than $42,000,000 in 1904. Practically the same ratio of decrease prevails in all foodstuffs TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY President Taft Writes a Letter in Approval of the Project. New York City—President Taft approves of making next Sunday, April 24, a "Tuberculosis Sunday," in a letter received by Livingston Farrand of the Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. President Taft writes; "I sincerely hope that the movement which you have inaugurated to make Sunday, April 24, a Tuberculosis Sunday may prove to be successful. The amount that can be done in saving human life by a united effort in a community and in respect to such a disease as tuberculosis can hardly be exaggerated." 2 KILLED IN FEUD FIGHT. Emanuel County, Ga., Families Settle Differences With Guns. Lyons, Ga.—Two dead, one dying and probably one or two others slightly wounded are the results of a battle in an inter-family feud of long standing, which took place in Emanuel county just at the line of Toombs county. The dead are A. S. Collins, road overseer for his district, and a well-to-do farmer, and his son, Wilson Collins, both of whom died during the progress of the fight. Alma Lewis is so badly wounded that he is expected to die. The battle was between the families of Collins and the family of Lewis, and was the outcome of a dispute over a public road crossing. The two families reside less than a mile apart and the county-line runs between their homes. Father and sons met, in a lane near the Lewis home. Just how the battle started is not known. The members of the Collins family were armed with pistols while two shot guns were used on the other side. A number of persons watched the battle, which was fought in the open, both sides standing bravely up to the mark. Joseph Lewis, father of Alma Lewis, is alleged to have fired the sword that ended the life of the elder Collins. A dozen or more shots were fired, and the others who were wounded besides Alma Lewis are not seriously hurt. Three arrests have been made of survivors in the battle. 10 CHILDREN A DISGRACE. Suffragette Advocates Quality and Not Quantity in Children. Washington, D. C.—"Ten years hence, to be the father of ten children will be as much of a disgrace as being a confirmed drunkard is at present," declared Mrs. Larelino Helen Baker of Spokane, Wash., a suffragette who will be heard along original lines of thought at the convention of the National Women's Suffrage association, which opened in this city. Her studies of children all over the world, she said, had convinced her that "not more than 10 per cent of them are children of love, and the other 90 per cent are not wanted." "Roosevelt, poor ignorant man," she continued, "urges large families, but I tell you it is quality in children, not quantity. Woman suffrage will better children, for it will produce better thinking. It is the mental, not the physical, that rules progressive action today and teaches us that the greatest crime of the ages is too many children. "When they (parents) have learned that fully nine-tenths of all the babies born every year are nothing more or less than human culls, I believe the birth rate will decrease and we shall have a better and stronger race. "Before I leave Washington," said Mrs. Baker, "I intend to find out how many millions of dollars are being appropriated to stamp out diseases in animals and to improve the breed of horses, pigs and live stock of all sorts; in fact, everthing but the human species. What humanity needs is a Luther Burbank. I would have been imprisoned a few years ago for "advocating these views, which, happily, all progressive thinkers are now coming to adopt." WHISKEY RULING. Government Says Whisky Can Be Made from Grain Only. Washington, D. C.—President Taft's board, made up of Secretaries MacVeagh, Nagel and Wilson, has decided to adhere to its original ruling regarding the labeling of whisky under the pure food law made in accordance with the president's decision of "what is whisky." There was considerable dissatisfaction with the rulof the board on the part of distillers who use neutral spirits. The board held, however, that whisky could be made from grain only, and that only mixtures of grain distillates could be called "blends"; that when the grain distillate is mixed with distillate from any material other than grain is compound and must be so labeled. The decision is of great importance to the whisky business. Newsv Paragraphs. Good roads are regarded in Germany of the utmost importance. The one subject now receiving greater attention than all others over there is the treatment of streets and roads for the purpose of avoiding dust and mud. The question of the building of good roads has already been settled. There are no other kind of roads in the empire. Sixty-dollars for a sheeaking business and a wife thrown in was the unique bargain made between Antonio S. Flourers and Cornellus Pace of Boverly, N. J. King-Albert of Belgium has approved, the plans of the ministry of the colonies for reforms in the Belgion congo. The changes will become effective on July 1, when a large area will be open to free commerce. The reforms include reduction in the taxes, which will be collected in money and not paid by labor; substitution of native for white officials; the restrictions of obligatory labor. A rush has begun for the new gold field discovered in Calcassieu and Vernon parishes in Louisiana. A great vein of 62 per cent pay dirt runs through southwest Louisiana and eastern Texas. Prospector Tate declares the field the richest south of Alaska and the government assay verifies his claims. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1910. USING IMPORTED MEAT CATTLE FROM AUSTRALIA New York City—As the price of meat started downward meat dealers and importers announced that they have discovered the solution to the high cost of living puzzle. They intend importing meat in great quantities from Australia and Argentine Republic just as England does. Then, instead of being compelled to buy so-called meat trust products, paying trust prices, the dealers get meat; which they claim issof the same quality, at from 3 to 6 cents per pound cheaper. The meat trust made its first hostile movement to check the incipient importation of beef, mutton and pork, when plans were made to ask the government to stop the influx of foreign meat on the ground that it was not properly inspected. At least a score of meat dealers in Brooklyn who have taken advantage of the Australian beef started to undersell the houses relying on the beef trust. The beef trust gets its meat from western and Mexican cattle, while, if Australian importations grow, this meat will probably be landed upon the Pacific coast and sent east by rail. While England relies very largely upon Australia an Argentina for its meat, the distance to the United States is much less than it is to England. It was announced that aside from the lower price of foreign meat the cost of living was gradually declining in Greater New York. Since April 1 pork has fallen nearly $3 per barrel and hogs $2 per hundred weight. Sayles Zahn, owner of a chain of meat shops, declared that the trust could be forced to lower prices by importing foreign-grown meat. "The Australian meat is better than the trust beef," said he. "In addition to this, we are able to under-sell at the rate of from 3 to 6 cents per pound." Pittsburgh, Pa—A drop of 40 cents a hundredweight in the price of live hogs at Union Stock Yards here was an incident in the course of the market, which has been falling for several weeks. The high record made less than a month ago, was $11.85 and the best price was $3.40. The fall in price is said to be due to lessened consumption. New York City—The present sensational drop in the price of potatoes may mean cheaper food of all kinds. Farmers are closing out their supply of old potatoes for as little as 20 cents a bushel, which is the lowest price in many years. Other foods are also cheaper. DEMOCRATS WIN AGAIN. Thirty-second New York District Sends Democrat to Congress. Rochester, N. Y.—More than 16,000 voters of Monroe county changed from the republican column to the democratic and elected the first democratic congressman that has represented the thirty-second district in 20 years. James S. Havens, a democrat, running on a tariff reform platform, defeated George W. Aldridge, for a score of years the ruler of the county republican organization, by 5,900 votes. Monroe county, which comprises the thirty-second congressional district, is normally republican by about 6,000. The result of the election takes its place by the side of the democratic victory in the fourth Massachusetts district, where Eugene N. Foss was sent to congress from a district supposed to be as rock-ribbed republican as this one. Mr. Havens rode to victory on a platform advocating tariff reform in the interests of the consumer, a revision of the duties on wool and woolen goods, a removal of the tax on hides and lumber, a removal of the tariff on iron ore, an income-tax and finally advocating independence of all political bodies of any party. Mr. Aldridge, his opponent, contented himself with a general proclamation in favor of the policies of the republican administration. On the tariff proposition he was regarded as a "stand-patter." Both candidates declared for re-proclyc with Canada, an employees' compensation act, a parcels post and a postal savings bank. HUMAN COLLATERAL 7-YearOld Boy is Shipped as Collateral for Board Bill. St. Louis, Mo.—One seven-year-old boy was received on a bill of lading at the station here from Monroe, La. He was consigned to a local bank as collateral for a board bill to be remitted to a bank at Monroe. Mrs. J. J. Koentz, acting as agent for W. J. Koentz, father and owner of the boy, called at the union station for the consignment, but the railroad officials refused to deliver the youngster. The boy, still tagged, was taken to the bank in a taxicab. When the lad reached the bank the amount due was paid, and he was turned over to his parents. COMET WILL NOT HARM US. Chicago, Ill.-Sleep can be gained and the sensitive nerve of the eye can be spared a strain. by those who have been arising early the last few days in an effort to obtain a view of Halloy's comet, if they follow the suggestion of Professor Edwin B. Frost, a noted astronomer. "There is no use staying up to see the comet or getting up either for that matter," explained Professor Frost in the Yerkers observatory. "It cannot be seen with the naked eye. To satisfy any one's curiosity, let them get a small piece of ordinary cheese' cloth and a small candle. Light the 'candlee' and look at the light with the cloth held between it and the eyes. In that way an exact repetition of how the comet looks through the powerful telescope will have been obtained." Some scientific knowledge was gained by Professor Frost in his observations. The tail is still invisible. Professor Frost declares the earth will not suffer any damage when it passes through the comet's tail May 18. Through observations, he says, he has determined that the deadly gas that is supposed to compose the comet's tail is present in such slight degree as to be of no concern to the population of this sphere. BURGLAR BAND CAUGHT. Carload of Loot Found When Fobbers Were Arrested. Dublin, Ga—Berry Bartley, Will Berton and Tom Cannon, negroes, three members of an alleged band of burglaries operating in Emanuel, Johnson and Laurens counties, have been arrested and lodged in jail. They have confessed of having robbed the store of H. E. Hardwick at Adrian twice; the store of John W. Cheek at Scott; with having broken into the bank at Scott; with having robbed the store of C. S. Keen at Brewton and with having caused the destruction of the store by fire, though they claim that the fire was caused by the accidental turning over of a lamp. It is said that almost a carload of stolen goods was found. The list comprised several different kinds of guns, several winchesters and a number of pistols. All kinds of dry goods, shoes and other articles usually carried in a general mercantile establishment were found. Goods taken from the store of Mr. Barwick each time it was robbed were found. Mr. Cheek had no trouble in identifying goods taken from his store at Scott, and goods stolen from Mr. Keen's store were found. A pistol stolen from the Bank of Scott when it was burglarized was identified. CARTER LOSES FORTUNE. Government Seizes $400,000 Belonging to Convicted Officer. Washington, D. C.—Dismissed from the army and put into the penitentiary for his alleged connection with the fraud on the government in the improvement of the harbor of Savannah, Ga., former Captain Oberlin M. Carter had a $400,000 fortune swept out of his hands as a further outcome of that transaction. This was the result of a decree by the United States supreme court. The decree was based on a claim against Carter for an equitable accounting for the money he had gotten fraudulently, it was charged, in the Savannah harbor frauds with Greene and Gaynor, contractors. It is claimed the government lost more than $2,000,000, of which it is alleged Carter got one-third. IMPROPER USE OF FLAG. Man Used Fac Simile of American Flag for Advertisement. Newark, N. J.—George L. Hebb has been held in $500 ball to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of using a fac simile of the American flag for advertising purposes. It is printed on his business envelopes. Hebb, who had been repeatedly warned that he was violating a New Jersey law by this misuse of the national emblem, was arrested on complaint of two prominent members of the G. A. R. Judge Hahn of the criminal court, in holding him, said he felt that substantial bail should be demanded as a lesson to others who might offend in like manner. CHINESE RIOT. All-Foreign Owned Buildings at Chang Sha Destroyed. · Chang Sha, China—All the foreign owned buildings in Chang Sha have been destroyed by fire with the exception of the British consulate. The Chinese officials issued a proclamation in which they state—that they were unable to protect the lives and property of foreigners, and, thereupon, all foreigners made haste to leave the city. So far as is known, no foreign resident lost his life. 250.000 German Workmen Strike. Berlin, Germany. — The building trades lockout, which has made a quarter of a million of workmen idle, appears to be the beginning of a long struggle affecting many divisions of the national industry. The employers have locked out the men in an effort to put an end once and for all to what they regard as the intolerable demands of the latter. Raising the Maine. Madrid, Spain—El Pais, commenting upon the proposed raising of the United States battleship Maine, suggests that an examination of the wreck be made by a mixed commission of American, Spanish and French engineers, to determine the cause of the warship's destruction. COTTON PRICE INQUIRY Government Will Investigate the Bull Movement in Cotton. NEWS CAUSED WEAK MARKET Operators Haynes, Brown, Scales and Pattern Are Supoenaed Before Special United States Grand Jury. New York City—There has been started in New York a federal investigation without precedent in this country. The attorney general of the United States has ordered an inquiry into the gigantic bull movement in cotton, with which the names of Jas. Patten of Chicago, Frank B. Hayne, William P. Brown of New Orleans and Eugene Scales of Texas have been popularly connected. Hayne and Brown both appear as defendants in the proceedings, but it could not be learned whether Mr. Patten will be subpoenaed at Chicago to come here and testify. He has been generally credited, however, with being the financial genius of the pool, and in recent interviews he has outlined his bullish position and his determination to fight the supposed bear clique which has been reshipping cotton to this country from England in an endeavor to break the market. The bull movement has reached such a stage, however, that there are rumors of a possible May corner in the New York market. Never before has the government brought similar action against any pool operating in the market on either the long or the short side. Subpoenas were issued at the direction of Mr. Wickersham, commanding a dozen or more prominent New York cotton brokers to appear before a special federal grand jury to testify in the matter of the "United States against Frank B. Hayne and William P. Brown." The subpoenas demand the submission to the special grand jury of all records, papers, letters, memoranda and an agreement dated February 26 last by Hayne and Brown and others. The agreement, the subpoenas state, was for the purchase of 150,000,bales of cotton for delivery in New York during the months of May and July, inclusive, at certain prices and under certain conditions. The fixing of the prices and conditions, the government charges, was a violation of the law. Announcement of the government's action was followed by a very excited break in prices on the New York cotton exchange, which at one time bade fair to result in almost as great a demoralization as that noted last January. Washington, D. C.—Attorney General Wickersham has taken up the cudgels against the reported pool in raw cotton which, it is alleged, already has resulted in an increased price of that staple and a curtailment of the output by manufacturers and consequent loss of employment by mill hands. The attorney general has given instructions to have the matter investigated by the grand jury in the southern district of New York and subpoenas were issued there, with which the officials of the department of justice say mark the commencement of a thorough investigation by the government of the alleged pool. FOREST RESERVE FOR SOUTH. Bill Creating Southern Appalachian Reserve, Favorably, Reported Washington, D. C.-The bill creating the Southern Appalachian and White Mountain Forest Reserve was reported favorably from the house committee on agriculture. A minority of the committee also reported against the measure. The purpose of the bill is to preserve watershed by conservation of trees and reforestation where necessary. The bill is designed to conserve navigable rivers, but the first application contemplated is to the forest reserve mentioned. The majority of the committee says "the agricultural, industrial and commercial future of the sections of the country to which it is most immediately directed," is involved in the bill. WILL USE SHERMAN'S ROUTE Students of Army College Propose to March Through Georgia. Leavenworth, Kan—General William T. Sherman's route from Atlanta to the sea will be followed by 26 instructors and students of the army staff college at Fort Leavenworth for the purpose of studying tactics of the civil war general. The officers will leave Fort Leavenworth July 1 for Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and march from that post to Atlanta. WAR ON AMERICANS. Foreigners Are Not Wanted on the Railroads of México. Monterey, Mex—War upon American railroad men in this republic has been resumed by the native employees of the railroad companies. These natives claim that they are discriminated against and that foreigners fill the more important positions to the detriment and injury generally of the Mexican railroad workers. The native unions have appointed a committee of sixty to go to the City of Mexico and present their grievances, to President Diaz. They think it thus possible to dislodge the American and other foreigners employed in the railway service. NO. 31. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. The millions popularly credited to Harry K. Thaw at the time he killed Stanford White did not exist. In reality he had only $400,000, so his mother Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw testified in the suit brought against her by Clifford W. Hartridge to collect $92,000 for services in Thaw's first trial. Ambitions to gain fame as a sculptor, Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw sailed for Paris to continue her art work abroad. She will rent a modest apartment in Paris and 'do her own cooking. She still receives a monthly allowance from the Thaw family, but her friends say she is permanently estranged from Harry K. Thaw, her husband. Dr. Mason W. Pressley of Philadelphia arrived in New York city from Dutch Gulana and announced that he had found a cure for the hook worm. He refused to say what the cure is, however. He came on the liner Saramacca, and brought with him many lantern slides showing the complete development of the work in all its stages. The slides are the fruit of six weeks study in the hospital at Paramaribo. It became known in Chicago that detectives who have been working under the personal direction of J. T. Harahan, president of the Illinois Central railroad, have concluded their report into the charge that the road has been, swindled out of large-sums, perhaps $1,000,000. It is expected that arrests will be ordered. Beyond the fact that the money was obtained from the railroad company through an alleged conspiracy, nothing is known concerning the details of the manner in which it was conducted. Dr. Eugene Doyn explained at the International Congress of Physiotherapy in Paris his treatment of cancer by means of electrically produced heat. The secret of the discovery is that the cancerous cells are destroy by a temperature of from fifty to fifty-five degrees centigrade, which is entirely harmless to healthy cells. The method shows wonderful results, he says, in eliminating the need of the knife in all lesions which are accessible to an electrical current, artificially applied. The healing of the tissues follows immediately upon the coagulation of the cancerous cells. Dr. John J. Hurley of Boston, Mass, announces the discovery of an anesthetic which, like the Janesco discovery, does not make the patient unconscious, but allows him to take an active interest in what is going on while feeling no pain whatever. The newest method consists of an injection of a solution of cocain adrenalin and salt solution, beneath the peristoneum, which is a delicate membrane covering the bones of the body. The adrenalin is a substance made from the so-called supra-venal bodies which are small 'glandular structures' resting upon the kidneys. Dr. Hurley asserts that he has used this method with great success. Announcement is made by the officers of the Atlanta, Music Festival association that beautiful Miss Geraldine Farrar, America's own famous soprano, has voluntarily consented to sing at the federal prison during her visit to Atlanta the first week in May. Several others of the world's famous artists of the Metropolitan Opera company, including Scotti, the great baritone, and Oliva Fremstad, the Swedish soprano, have also expressed a willingness to sing for the unfortunate prisoners. Washington "I regret to say that the report that my parents are reconled to my marriage is not true. Would to gracious, it was," said Philander S. Knox, Jr., "I love my father and mother, but I love my wife and I am happy with her. My going to New York to meet my brother, Reed, started the false report," the secretary of state's son said. "I am selling automobiles and earning big wages. Ask my boss if I'm not a star employees." Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and several industrial educators appeared before the senate committee on agriculture and urged the passage of the bill introduced by Senator Dolliver of Iowa which seeks to appropriate $4,000,000 for instruction in secondary agricultural institutions. The bill was framed by the American Federation of Labor. Senator Lodge submitted to the senate the report of Dr. Harvey Wiley on the subject of storage of food products. The report says that the value of some foods, such as cheese, ham, bacon, wine, beers and other products, is increased by cold storage; other products like eggs, milk, vegetables and butter are better when used fresh. Dr. Wiley adds that surplus products should be kept in cold storage for such time as they are not in season, and approves of canned goods, but says they ought not to be carried in storage beyond one season and that no food products should be stored beyond nine months. The will of Thomas F. Walsh, the mining magnate, filed in Washington, D. C., leaves $100,000 to charity and the rest of the estate practically in its entirety to Mrs. Carrie B. Walsh, the widow, and Mrs. E. B. McLean, daughter. The estate is valued at from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000. Colonel Roosevelt has communicated to some of his admirers in Washington the news that, on his return he expects to stand by Gifford Pinchot, the deposed chief forester of the United States. This information is furnished by letters from the former president, as they are interpreted by their recipients. It has filled the friends and adherents of Mr. Pinchot with great delight and they are not concealing their exultation. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasury of State of Georgia Gladiolus JAN 17 EOF 190 The original Treasurer of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges that he has received from the following described Invoice: Dear Regina and Dear William of the State of Georgia, Excuse me, I am writing to you in the name of the General themself, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1887. R. E. Pardisi Systematic Seating of Audience to Be a Feature. SINGLE SEATS ARE SELLING Interest in Atlanta's Grand Opera Season Is Daily Increasing Throughout the Entire South. Atlanta, Ga—There will not be any difficulty in seating the people in Atlanta's great auditorium-armory upon the occasion of the production of the grand operas that are to be heard there during the first week in May. It is true that the immense hall will seat more than six thousand people, and that every seat in the house will be occupied at each and every performance, but no one will have the slightest difficulty in finding his or her seat, and all will be done with systematic certainty that will make the whole matter seem very simple. Already a large special corps of ushers is being assembled, the world of organization being in the capable hands of Custodian Weever of the auditorium-armory. The plans of the seats, divided systematically into sections right and, left, and numbered according to a carefully devised system, are already in Mr. Weever's hands, and daily instructions will be given to the ushers from now until the opening opera of May 2. The ushers are to be selected from the members of the Georgina National guard, who are stationed in Atlanta, and they will add to the attractiveness of the music festival by appearing in full dress uniform. All the ales will be covered with some form of matting or carpet, so that the entry of spectators during the performances will not create any disturbance whatever. It was found last year that this noise detracted from the beauty of the concert. The demand for reserved seats for the season continues, the amount received far exceeded all expectations. The sale of seats for the individual performances is now open. interest in the grand opera season is daily increasing throughout the entire south, and with each mail comes a flood of orders for reservations, requests for information and other inquiries. All railroads entering Atlanta are offering reduced round trip rates from all points to Atlanta during grand opera and automobile week. Trains will be held until after the evening performances of the opera to accommodate the great number of out-of-town people who will be in attendance. FIGHTING CATTLE TICK Wright to Superintend War on the Cattle Parasite. Atlanta, Ga—Captain R. F. Wright, Treasurer of the State of Georgia. assistant commissioner of. agriculture, is spending this week in the field in north Georgia personally superintending the work of organization and inspection in the war which has been undertaken to drive the cattle tick from Georgia. Captain Wright, some time ago, is progressing splendidly. He will organize the counties of Banks and Franklin. The county authorities will place inspectors in the field, the state will employ, an officer and the federal government officials will co-operate in establishing a quarantine that has proved effective elsewhere and will prove so there. Similar organizations are doing this work in the counties of Hall, Hart and Green, where the tick has been very aggressive, but where it is being gradually driven out. Gecrgia Peachtrees Weighted With the Greatest Crop in Years. Americus, Ga'—With a half million peach trees fruited to the capacity with healthy young peaches, the big orchards about Americus give assurance now of the finest crop in years, and the owners of these magnificent tracts of waving trees are correspondingly elated at the golden prospects. The young peaches, now the size of partridge eggs, are firm and of a healthy appearance, and show no evidence of the sting of the much-dreaded curculio. This is the bug that produces the worm, which attacks the peach, rendering it worthless. And if half the peaches now on the trees remain, a bumper-crop and broken boughs are assured, for the weight will be too great. Three Varieties Tree Growing From One Trunk. Athens, Ga.-The Classic City possesses more than one curious tree, from a botanilogical point of view, but the most peculiar one has only recently been noted. The tree that owns itself, the Austrianian oak that bears the giant acorns, the tree that is growing out of all two-story building, have all been objects of interest, but the new discovery beats them all. It is three trees in one, and the freak is situated on Finley street, near the Athens High School. The original tree is a large chinaberry tree, and out of the trunk of this are growing two other kinds of trees. One is a water oak and the other is of the Empress of India variety, and recently, when the latter was in bloom, the trio presented a curious sight. ROADMAKING EXPERIMENT. Road Work Being Watched With Inst ternet, in Dougherty County. terest in Dougherty County, Albany, Ga.-Experiments in good roads building are just now being watched with interest by Dougherty countians, and comparisons in results will likely govern future operations. A specimen mile of specially constructed sand-clay road is being built under the supervision of a government expert. It will be subjected to steady and at times heavy traffic, but it is expected to hold its own. GREAT PEACH CROP. A BOTANICAL FREAK. MASONS TO MEET. Royal Arch Masons Will Meet in Macon April 26-27. Macon, Ga.—Arrangements are being made by Secretary W. A. Wollhlin and local Masons for the sixty-seventh annual session of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masons and the eighty-eighth annual convocation of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, April 26 and 27 in Macon. These are regular sessions and will bring a large number of the members of the council and the chapter here for the business of the sessions. GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. The races at the state prison farm at Milledgeville will in all probability be separated in the near future Chairman Hutchens of the prison commission, now has under consideration a rule to this effect, and will probably submit it to the general assembly at its next session. Chairman Hutchens thinks that the negro boys and white boys should be separated at once. It is his idea to purchase several acres of land next to the present site and on this place the negro boys. This will enable the commission to use the new dormitory, now being built, as a school building for the manual training of white boys. Once the negro and white boys are separated the negro women will be placed in another section of the farm and the white men where the negro women are now kept. The money from the abundant crops that are being raised on the farm this year will greatly aid in paying for the improvements. Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb, ex-president of the Georgia Federation of Women's clubs, through her influence with individual citizens, and through the press, is working for a medical inspector in the schools of Athens.

If a mule takes fright and runs away when an engineer of a railroad engine puts on more steam, the railroad is not liable for any damage that may result. So held the court of appeals in the case of Chance against the Southern railroad. Chance was driving his mule along the railroad track one day and the mule 'took fright and ran when the engineer put more steam into his engine for the purpose of climbing a grade. Chance was injured and he sued the railroad and secured a verdict in his favor. The-court reversed the decision, holding that the engineer had a right to put on more steam at that point and that it does not appear to have been done to frighten the mule. According to rumor which has been afloat for several days, Judge Richard B. Russell of the court of appeals will make the race for governor in the next campaign. When asked a direct question concerning his candidacy, Judge Russell stated that he has not made up his mind either way; but report has it that he has the matter under serious consideration. This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same man that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Liberal Terms and Commission. H. C. Tuggle, state inspector of covict camps, has returned to Atlanta from a trip to Turner county, where he inspected the work being done by that county with its convicts on the roads. "Turner county works thirty convicts," said Mr. Tuggle, 'and there are no better regulated camps in the entire state. Splendid work is being done on the roads, and under the care of Warden J. A. Putnam the convicts are kept in good condition, and no trouble is experienced with them." Captain Wiley Williams of the prison commission has returned to Atlanta from a visit to the state, farm at Milledgeville, and he declares that the prospects for an unusually abundant harvest on the state farm at that place are most encouraging. "The recent heavy rains have done a world of good," said Captain Williams, "and you can almost see the oats, corn and other things grow." Captain Williams states that work on the hospital and the new dormitory at, the farm is progressing rapidly Judge Emory Speer of the United States district court confirmed the sale of the Savannah, Augusta and Northern railway to W. J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn. The amount bid by Oliver was $250,000. He had foreclosed on the property in order to collect the amount due him for constructing the line. Mr. Oliver was present in court at the time of the confirmation, and stated that he might operate the road himself. The line is twenty-three miles in length and extends from Garfield, Ga., to Statesboro. Mr. Oliver states that if he decided to operate the line it would be extended. The legislators of Floyd county will be asked to introduce a bill at the next general assembly providing broader powers for the state board of health. The request comes from the county medical association and may be the forerunner of similar action by other counties throughout the state. A resolution to this effect was presented at the meeting of the Floyd County Medical association. The reasons for this action are for the establishment of better quarantine regulations between the counties for the prevention of the spread of contagious and infectious diseases. Experiments in irrigation that were made in the western part of Dougherty county last year under supervision of a government expert are being extended this year, as an example to the farmers of this immediate section. Under the direction of Milo B. Williams, irrigation engineer of the United States department of agriculture, ten acres in cotton and ten acres in corn are being cultivated under irrigation on the John P. Fort plantation, in west Dougherty. Water is secured from artesian wells bored for the purpose, and interesting results are anticipated. Many farmers are watching the experiment closely, with a view of putting land under irrigation next year. Felled six years ago in a court room with a cuspidor thrown by John M.

The road drag is coming more into use each year; and even this may be homemade and inexpensive. It is said by those who have given thorough test to the matter, that there is nothing so effective as a drag, even a split log drag, upon dirt roads. Any county can drag its roads. "Get the drags out on the roads after every hard rain, and smooth the ruts off the surface," say authorities in several of the States where the Journal-Herald national highway has wrought an awakening. "By this means the roads are kept from drying with ruts; therefore they are not rough after they are dry. By this means, too, the ruts being kept smoothed out, there is nothing when the next rain falls for the water to accumulate in, and be churned to soft mud with the dirt. The water of the next rain flows off to the gullies, and the road dries sooner." OFFICIAL INDORSES IT. Joseph Hiyde Pratt, State Geologist of North Carolina, one of the three good roads judges who have awarded TOOLS TO MAKE IT A saw, chisel, axe, graver. GRACE FRONT A GOOD ROAD the prizes in the national highway the good roads contest, has published an official treatise on the split log drag in the form of Good Roads Circular No. 46 from the office of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey. The circular presents a picture of the split log drag, shows how it is built, how much it costs to build, and how it is operated. Herewith is reproduced the picture of the drag, and here are some extracts from the circular, which is worthy of wide circula- HOW TO MAKE DRAG. "Lately a good deal has been said and written regarding the road drag and its usefulness, and under certain circumstances its value can hardly be overestimated," says the circular. "On account of this fact, it has been thought advisable to present a practical form of drag that is applicable to any farm community and can easily be constructed by any one, even those who are not familiar with this machine. For this purpose a cut has been prepared, which illustrates in detail how such a drag is made and gives the bill of material needed for its construction. "Most drags are dodged so that when they pull at an angle they will exactly 'track;' but when the drag is made in that manner it can only be used to go one way on one side of the road, while if made as described above, it can be used on either side, which is often of very great advantage." --- "The stretcher hook may be hitched in at any place desired to give the angle to the drag that is desired. This drag will work either in end forward simply by a change in the hitch. All that is necessary is to move the hook on the chain. A little practice will soon make any one expert in the use of this drag. HOW IT IS OPERATED. "To operate this drag, throw a board six feet long and ten or twelve inches broad on the ties and brace about, midway between the drags, which is for the driver to stand on. It will be interesting to notice the effect of the driver changing his position on the drag. Step one foot on the front of the drag and it will cut and carry material until the weight is removed; step back on the rear drag and the front one will drop its load and the rear one, catch it. Step forward again and the latter drag will drop its load. In this way a little practice on the part of the driver will enable him to become very proficient in filling up holes. If it is desired to crown the road up, stand with superior weight on the front and a little to the ditch end of the drag and let the drag have an angle of about forty-five degrees." 2. Turkish Public Roads. Consul E. L. Harris, writing from Smyrna, describes the roadways of Aslatic Turkey and difficulties they present for motoring, as follows: The public roads in this vilayet are in a bad condition. Generally speaking road building in this part of Tur- key is not in an advanced state, and but little attention is paid to it. Large appropriations are made from time to time by the Government for the purpose of building highways in certain parts of the country. Good roads are often built with this money, but no appropriations are made to keep them in repair after they have once been laid out. Some twenty years ago a splendid road was built from Magnesia-on-the-Meander to Sokia. About the time this road was completed a branch of the Aldin Railroad was extended to the same point, running almost parallel with the highway. From the time the railroad was completed the public highway was permitted to fall into disuse, and now it is extremely difficult for even a camel caravan to use it. The recent floods in the Meander Valley have destroyed a good roadway which led to Aldin, a town in the centre of the fig district of Asia Minor, across the plain to some of the finest orchards known in that region. It is feared by those interested in figs that the road will not be repaired in time, if at all, in order that this season's figs from that particular district may BILL OF MATERIAL 2 pieces, 4x10-7 long 9 x C-EC 19 x C-EC 19 x C-EC NAILS 30 of 40 30 of 40 30 of 40 DRAG TIE DIL X SEE 60 of 90 Chain 14 ft DRAG be moved as rapidly to market as has hitherto been the case. The roads in the immediate vicinity of Smyrna are kept in a fairly good state of repair. This is more or less due to the initiative and energy of the British residents of Smyrna and the two suburban towns of Bournabat and Boudj. One enterprising Englishman practically built the road between Smyrna and Bournabat, a distance of five miles, and he gets the interest on the money invested and keeps up repairs by charging a toll on all vehicles which traverse the road. He is also the owner of the only automobile in Smyrna, a machine which he imported from Switzerland two years ago, but about the only place he can use it with any degree of enjoyment at least is on his own road between Smyrna and Bournabat. I am also informed that a second road is being built by him, in the same way, to connect the two suburban towns of Cordello and Bournabat. It is therefore self-evident that the condition of the public roads in this part of Asia Minor will always militate against' the use of the automobile in these parts, and it is extremely unlikely that this country will ever offer a market for these machines. The general make-up of Turkish cities and towns also acts as an obstacle against the introduction of automobiles. The streets, apart from being narrow and winding, are paved with cobblestones and are extremely rough. This primitive pavement is gradually being replaced by flagstones, with which all principal streets are now being laid. Unfortunately the preparation of the roadbed prior to laying the flags is so insufficient that within six months a newly paved street is practically in need of repair. It is hardly to be hoped that conditions in the road and street line will soon change in Turkey. Pity the Poor Cowboy! Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the famous food expert, said at a dinner in this city, apropos of the meat boycott and the cold storage discussion: "The trend of modern life seems on the surface to be toward preserved instead of fresh foods, but there is no such real trend, say among certain dealers. "Who," said Dr. Wiley, "would like to be in the boots of the cowboy in the barren sagebrush country who used to send in, week after week, the same order to the storekeeper: "Cannanlik, canacow, canajam, canabutter, canacake, canascrapple, canacorn, canaham, canaplums." — Washington Star.

On the outer face of the strip is a spring clamp, one end of which is riveted to the strip, while the opposite end is free and curved slightly outward, so that the switch of the animal can be readily entered between the strip and the clamp. The animal is thus unable to swish her tail in the milker's face, protecting the latter from injury in this way. —Weekly Witness. The Value of a Farm. There are few farmers or gardeners who place a proper estimate upon the value of their farms; I do not refer to the salable value of the land alone. What does it matter to you or me what our farms will sell for? If we do not care to sell them? The question for us to decide is what is our farm worth to us for the purpose of furnishing a home and a livelihood? Suppose you have a farm with comfortable buildings, which you can sell for $5000, says Southern Fruit Grower. This farm furnishes a house in which you and your family abide, a garden, a playground about the house, barns for stabling your horses, cattle, food for these animals and almost all that you consume in the family. In other words, the farm very largely supplies the wants of your family and provides you with horses and carriages for travelling wherever you wish to go. Now suppose you sell this farm for $5000 in cash and move to the city. You can scarcely buy a house and a small lot without barns that are comfortable as your own for $5000. In the city you are taxed for city taxes at least one hundred dollars. Your expenses are increased in the city for car fares, for cost of everything you have to do, since you find it necessary to,wear better clothes which cost you more money; you also have your amusements and other expenses which are increased in the city life. In other words the $5000 which in the country almost provides for your living, in the city simply provides a shelter from the storm. But there is another trouble in the city, and a most serious one. Your $5000 is invested in your house and you have no business, where as the farm has not only furnished a home but a paying business also. Live Stock Manure Value. It is well known that such foods as olover, alfalfa, tankage, bran, middlings, etc., have a high per cent. of protein, and that the manure of live stock largely fed on these is much the most valuable for the soil. An agricultural writer touching this matter calls attention to the fact that "Chemistry of the Farm," by Warrington, says that when fed to oxen all except 3.9 per cent. of the-nitrogen of the food is yielded, either as a solid, or liquid excrement, that 73.5 per cent. is voided as liquid excrement, hence the importance of keeping plenty of absorbent at hand. We also find that 14.7 per cent. of the nitrogen is retained. In the body when the food is given to pigs. Twenty-one per cent. is voided in the solid excrement and 64.3 per cent. voided as liquid excrement. There is a marked difference between the ox and the pig in this respect, due to the rapid growth of the pig. As to the ash constituent of food, the same author says that 2.3 per cent. of the ash of the food is stored up in the body and that 97.7 per cent. is voided in the excrement when the feed is given to an ox, while a pig will retain 4.5 per cent. of the ash of the food and void 95.5 in the excrement. The figures show that only a small per cent. of the plant food is sold off the farms when animals are fed the products, and that the rapid exhaustion of the soil's fertility is a result of carelessness and lack upon the part of the farmer of properly managing the various farm operations. By a judicious management and the feeding of farm animals it has not only been possible but practicable to increase the production of the farm from year to year without spending large sums of money each year for commercial fertilizer. Succulence and Palatability. We have often called attention to the fact that silage had the important elements of succulence and palatability so essential in feeding dairy cows. Referring to this matter Valancey E. Fuller, the well known dairyman, in a contribution to the Practical Dairyman says: The chemist cannot tell us why the water that is contained in all these succulent feeds play such an important part in the well doing of the cow. He will tell us that pasture grass is eighty per cent. water; that corn silage has 79.1 per cent; sugar beets, 86.5 per cent; mangel beets, 90.9 per cent; carrots, 88.6 per cent; cabbage and pumpkin over 90 per cent. Each. Yet this very water, as we find it in the various succulents, plays a very important part in the digestion of other food taken in conjunction with the succulents. It seems to act directly on the bowels and kidneys of the cows and maintains the cattle in that healthy condition which is essential to the best production. We know that apples contain 80.5 per cent. water, yet we know also how beneficial that "juice" as we call it, is to us as a regulator of the bowels, and how, if we eat an apple or two each day, it contributes to our good health. Corn silage is the cheapest of all succulent, except pasture grass. Roots are expensive to grow. They cost more per pound of digestible dry matter, than corn silage. Although, I had all the silage that I required to feed my cows in winter and in the dry season of summer, I used to grow all the roots I possibly could on my own place and contracted for 12,000 bushels a year, to feed the cows. My experience showed me that cows would do better when they had corn silage if they were fed roots, especially mangels and sugar beets, than they did without them, and what the beets cost me extra was more than saved in the lessened grain fed each day. If overy dairman would put up enough corn silage in the fall to feed his cows in the winter and carry over enough to feed them in the dry spell that comes in the late summer._his bank account would be materially added to each year—Farmer. Don't overcrowd. This is a good time to plan the next season's business. Be regular in caring for and feeding the poultry; regularity counts for more than many think. Don't allpw a scrap to be wasted; fresh scraps of meat mean increased number of eggs; the cracklings, when well pressed, are good to feed hens, in limited quantity. Many families will make no use of the livers, at all; it would pay to secure these and save to feed hens. Much better give to the poultry than to leave for stray dogs and cats. If there is a north or northwest window in the poultry house, close it up to-day as tight as possible. While, at it close all the cracks; tar paper is good for this if nailed closely. In order to secure the good green growth, it is much better to have two yards, or a partition fence through the yard, thus enabling the green growth, rye or oats or whatever is grown for forage, to get a good start, while the poultry is confined to the other part. The size of the yard will depend quite a good deal upon the care taken of it, and the way it is managed. - If green growth is kept upon it most, or all through the growing season the yard need not be so large; if bare, it should be regularly and thoroughly cleaned of all refuse once each month. A TREE IN A MILLSTONE ```markdown ``` The photograph presents an interesting and unique illustration of the latent force in a growing tree. Apparently the seedling sprouted within the square central opening of the old rejected millstone, and after the growth of the trunk had filled the hole, the stone was lifted from the ground, and is now about two feet above the surface. The curious rustic seat thus formed would be prized on many lawns or in parks, but serves no such purpose in the location bordering a stream in a sparsely settled district of New York.—Forest Leaves.

Every one knows how easily a baby's high chair is upset. The child itself very often endeavors to squirm out, thereby overbalancing the chair and causing it to fall. The addition of this support or prop prevents such accidents. The prop consists of a pair of legs connected by a crossbar and pivoted to the sides of the chair near the top. When the chair is in its normal position the ends of the prop are quité a distance, above the floor. Should the chair be suddenly tilted, the prop will naturally swing outward and arrest the chair in its descent. Queer Floral Experiment. "I have found that, in general, most white garden flowers are black, or nearly so, in ultra-violet light," writes Prof. Robert Williams Wood in the Century. "Next summer I am going to raise some white flowers under glass, which will screen them from the ultra-violet rays during their development, and see if this makes any difference, for it has recently been found that the color of flowers is related' to the color of the light which falls upon them."

The News shows up bright and will undoubtedly meet with popular favor. "A Correction" Relative to the Rucker case, The New York Independent corrected its note of last week, and gives the following very able reason for his retention: "We are heartily glad to note that we were in error last week in saying that Mr. H. A. Rucker, the colored Collector of Internal Revenue in Atlanta, had been replaced by a white man. It seems to be all news paper talk. We were correct, however, in asserting that for nearly thirteen years of his tenure of office he has performed his duties to the complete satisfaction of the Treasury, his office being uniformly rated No. one. It may be interesting to note in this connection that the father in law of the late Henry W. Grady is Mr. Rucker's chief deputy and that a large part of his official force consists of southern whites. Be it said to their credit that they have uniformly given—their superior in office perfect official courtesy, and it is needless to say that this has been cordially reciprocated. Mr. Rucker has on file over a thousand applications from southern whites desiring places under him. It will surprise those who know of Southern conditions only through the newspapers that Mr. Rucker's application to President McKinley for the office was endorsed not only by leading business men of Atlanta, but also by leaders of labor organizations as well. Up to this time none of these has entered any reasonable complaint against the conduct of the office, the only complaint, and that by a few interested ones has been the Collector's complexion. He is an educated man, is rearing an intelligent family, has lived economically and is accumulating property. Measured by any right standard he is a citizen of whom any community might feel proud. If President Taft is seeking for efficiency we fail to see the need of change, especially since he is the only man of his race of over a million in Georgia holding a Federal office within that State, where Negroes have since their freedom accumulated over $25,000,000 worth of property. As we said in our last issue, we seriously question the policy of depriving the Negro population of representation in office, and the more so when the race can offer such men as this for public office. Tuberculosis Sunday. In some section of the country, notably in New York and Pennsylvania, there is what is known as "Hospital Sunday." i. e. a special Sunday on which the ministers make special mention in their sermons, of the value of hospitals and necessity of giving money for their maintenance: In this way quite a snug sum of money is raised every year for these institutions which are doing so much to alleviate human suffering. One of the hospitals in the city tried, at Thanksgiving last year, to arouse the churches of the city to a sense of their duty in this particular, but sad to say just a few, of the numerous churches considered the matter and took up an offering. The others seemed to have lost sight of the fact that a great portion of the Saviour's ministry was spent in healing the sick and that He bade His disciples do likewise. One of the most awful diseases common to-day and which is playing havoc with our people is consumption or, tuberculosis. An enthusiastic crusade is being waged against it all over the land, and toorrow, the 24th inst., has been set apart as "Tuberculosis Sunday" with the hope that ministers of the gospel throughout the country might preach sermons on the subject and take up a collection: the contributions in Savannah being sent to Miss Pendleton the secretary of the Associated Charities at her office in the City Hall. If the ministers of the city will either call or send to Miss Pendleton about noon today she will gladly furnish them a generous supply of literature for distribution in the churches tomorrow. It is to be hoped that more interest will be manifested in "Tuberculosis: Sunday" than in "Hospital: Sunday" for it is a well known fact that our own people are "dying like dogs" to use a common expression, with this dreadful disease. The contributions are used for purchasing nourishments for the sick and for the furtherance of the work at large. A visiting nurse is now at work going in and out among both races doing what she can to alleviate their sufferings. Miss Pendleton to all appearances is a most liberal minded and generous lady, earnestly desirous of doing all in her power to help our people, and it is to be hoped that she'll be given the sympathy and support which her arduous task calls for, and which she herself so richly deserves.

The Grand Master said it made no change in business, that he would continue to pay Endowments as of old and would be re-elected Master again in Augusta, Ga., in 1911." The above article was taken from the Macon Broadaxe; and shows to what depth the order is inclining. Within the past several years there has been considerable unrest in the order, and the end is not yet in sight. While Grand Master Igram will no doubt fight his expulsion from his lodge, he should immediately resign his position. He owes it for the good of the order. There have been charges preferred against the Grand Secretary and the Grand Attorney, and only recently the Grand Treasurer was removed from office. Where will such condition of affairs end? The hearty Odd-Fellows of the state should enter their protest against the manner in which their affairs are being conducted. Dr. Swan's Sudden Death. Dr. Swan's Sudden Death.

By ALICE TURNER’CURTIS. cashmere, Constance Wilbur looked at {t-admiringly. “How many yards would it take for a dress, mother?” she asked, wistfully. 8 , “Elght,” responded Mrs, Witbur, Briefly, She was # little ont of pa- tience with Constance on the subject of pink cashmere. Ever since the question of Constance's going to Ma- son Academy the nest fall had been settled, the girl had seemed, to. think ‘that a dress of this kind was’ neces sary to complete her equipment? She had inherited certain qualittes‘of per- sistence from her father's family. “I don’t see why all Aunt Edith’s dresses are -blues- and grays,” re- marked Constance: -“At least, all that she sends to me are.”” “There are two whita dresses, a ‘serge and,a dotted musiin,’ replied Mrs. Wilbur, who was even then en- saged in ripping up the seams of a soft gray wool affair, “ang you ought to be glad enoush, Constance, that your Aunt Edith sent this box of clothes. We couldn't have managed to have bought ‘you so many dresses. You will have enough for a year.” “Just the same, you would have | bought me a pink cashmere Jf Aunt Edith had not.sent that box,” nersist- ed Constance. | Mrs. Wilbur smiled. “Well, my ‘dear, very Hkely I should; but it /would have been your only dress-up gown. You would have had to wear ‘it on all occasions. Very likely you would have been known:at school as ‘the gitl with the pink dress! Now You will have this pretty gray volle, “the blue chiffon and the two white dresses. Besides that, every dollar counts with your father this year,” “This, sample, is only one dollar a yard,'" said Constance, smoothing the delicate wool between her fingers. Mrs. Wilbur made no reply, and _Constance, after a pleading look to- “ward her mother, picked up her books and left the room, “I could buy one yard of it," she, thought, as she went down the street on a delayed errand. “I have exactly one dollar.” Z And without thought of the neces- sary car fares that the dollar was in- tended to pay-for, Constance promptly turned her steps toward the store from which she had obtained the sample. The clerk held up fold after told of the delicately’ tinted cashmere, and. Constance’s eyes brightened as she admired it. “It's just. lke a pink. rose,""she declared. ‘The clerk glanced at the girl smil- ingly. ‘Just the shade to wear with brown eyes and brown hair,” he re- marked, = | “I only want one yard," said Con- stange, and suddenly remembered the car fares and a much-needed pair of gloves. ‘Ud rather wear snabby gloves than lose this!” she exclaimed. “Gloves?” said the clerk. ‘Two counters down toward the front,” and Constance picked up the small pack- age, put down the one dollar, and walked briskly out. _ ‘The yard of cashmere was put care- fully away In a small trunk, «where Constance stored her treasures; and Constance, the pink sample still in her purse, watched the advertise- ments of mark-downs, with anxious eyes. She said no more about a pink cashmere,and Mrs..Wilbur congratu- lated herself that, after all, Constance had seen"the folly of teasing for a dress which she did not need and which her father could not afford to purchase. - Before the summer was-over Mrs. ‘Wilbir-had occasion to speak to Con- stance ‘on the subject: of the use. of money. o “T know, my dear girl, that your allowance is small,” she remarked one day, with a disapproving glance at Constance's worn ribbon belt, “but I am sure it'{s sufficient for the little things that We erpect you to buy for yourself. Your gloves are shabby, and.that belt is really worn ont.”” Constance flushed, but she made no explanation. Mrs. Wilbur sighed a little, finding an excuse for-Constance in, the. thought that a~girl of. sixteen doubtless found sqda-water, choco- atep and car rides of even more im- portance than fresh gloves and fault- less belt ribbons. - > =, “Tsuppgse mother, would think that I had thrown my money away if she scould see theset”t chuckled Constance that evening, as she opened her treas- sure ne and téok out a carefally wrapped package. She undid the~ wrappings and ” 3 Hee caen ok Se a, s oe 4 la. ie al ert FR ee 2 7 to oe ae WO a aw ! such things as remnant sales. Sam- ple fn‘hand, she had gone from store to storé, turning over piles of*short- length céshmeres, now and then suc- cessful in securing a match for-her Zoods. ., : Pieces of three-fourths 6f a yard had been secured for twenty-five cents. A remiisnt of a quarter of a yard had been bought for five cents, She was sure that two yards more would give her material enough for a dress, but time for sales was grow- ing short. In two weeks more she would have to start'for Mason Acad- emy, and Constance realized that to make this.dress would require not only patience and planning, but more work and time than would go to the making of an ordinary gown. “It will have to be ‘tucked and tucked and tucked to hide the piec- ings,” Constance decided, ‘but I'll do it all, and I'm sure that mother wilt help me plan It, for if anybody ever earned anything, I've earned a pink dress.’ And Constance recalled her many tiresome tramps during the warm ‘summer days from store to store, her many disappointments, and the doing, without of all the little things which she had been accus- tomed to spend money for, but which for the past six months she had reso- lately denied herself. - “Your thiigs are all ready now, dear,” said Mrs. Wilbur, a few days later. “I don’t think that ‘you will Keep These Twelve, Things . in Mind.

I am sorry that you have had ‘to stay in the city all summer, but, as you héar me say so oftén, every dolar has to count.” “Mother,.I’d rather not go out to Aunt Edlth’s,” Constance sald. There was to be a remnant sale on Saturday. It would be her last chance, she thought, and she must not miss it. | Mrs, Wilbur looked at her daughter in sirprise; then her face softenea. “It's the child's last week at: home,’ she sald to herself, “‘and she wants to stay with her father and me as long as possible.” So she replied in a very tender tone, “Very well, dear,” and a load was lifted from op stance’s mind, She had feared that her mother, might insist upon the visit. 4 Early Saturday morning Constance was at the store advertising the rem- Jnant sale. As shé eagerly turned, over the pile of delicately tinted cash- meres, she heard her own name spoken, ,and glanced up,-to see her father standing beside her. 3 “Why, father,” she exclaimed, “what are you atter2” * = “I'm afraid you'll tél," he replied, soberly. - * . © Gonstance laughed. She..and her father were always thé: best of com- pantons, and-es she looked -up into his kindly-tace, she resolved that she would tell him all about the remnant dress. Ris “, won’t..tell, honor bright,” she responded, laughingly. “Well, E want:to ‘buy“a present for Ja young lady who ts going away, to school,” -hé,sa{d. “It is.t6-be a-sir- { prise present;you noe, end I waat to de very*sute’that shé will like.1t" *Oticourse she will,” declared Con- stance. “This young: lady, belongs to rather a queer-family;” went on Mr, Wilbur; “at least, somé people say go.

I-suppose mother has told you how much I wanted a pink dress?” .Mr. ‘Wilbur started as if surprised. 3 “Yes, I did,” said Constance, laugh- ing, “and the more I thought about ft the more I wanted it, You see, Aunt Edith’s clothes are"not Just’the colors f like best, and I just made up my mind that I must think-out some ‘way to get a pink cashmere,” apd Constance looked up at her fa- ther. He nodded understandingly. “Wil- bur all over,” he said. - - “You see, my allowance just covers things,” went on Constance, “so at first I bought’one yard off the piece. Afttr that I learned about remnant sales, and, dad, I've bought the rest in remnants. I've got the last plete here. There are over nine yards in all—eleven pieceS of them—and they cost me three dollars and twenty cents.” “What did your mother say,’” ques- tioned Mr. Wilbar, “and how on earth are you going to make. a dress out of those bits?” “pfother doesn’t {now anything about it,” said Constance. “But it was al] my own money, dad. I just went without some Jittle things: I suppose it will be lots of work to |make it. Do you suppose that mother willeare?” : “I suppose she will think that you are a Wilbur, all right! chuckled her father. “Talis about persistence! Well, I guess there are not many girls of sixteen who would have strengtt ‘of will enough to have earned a dress that ‘way. For as I ‘Igok at it, Constance, you have earned every yard of that dress.”” = _ “There is only quarter of a yard in one piece,” said, Constance. | “Mz.

And if any trimmings are needed; dust Jet me know.” “I've saved a dollar for those," ‘replied Cofstance. “Mother, I’ve ‘got, a pink cashmere dress,” said the girl, as she brought her bundle of remnants into the sit ting room. = * Mrs. Wilbur looked up with a little smile, “So you met your father. Well, my ‘dear, he seemed to think you deserved the dress, cron if you; did not need it, and I was weak- minded enough to give in. You see, when a Wilbur {s really determined about anything, somebody has to give in!” . “But, mother, I remembered that fevery dollar counted this year, and so father @fd ‘nét have to buy it. 1 bought it myself—in remnants,” and Constance rapidly told the story of the remnant sales, holding up piece atter -plece of cashmeré before her mother’s astonished eyes,-as, she’ dé- scribed how she-had-acquired it, and told of her long walks to savo car fares; and thé series of other smail economies. : } L baven’t ‘bought an’ ice c¥eam soda. this sunimer!” she concluded, dramatically, “and jotjed in her moth- er'sjaughter. _ |. , “It will.be almost Mke-making the cloth,” declared Mrs. Wilbur, holding Lup the narrow: strips, “but by tuck- ing, "i'm pretty sure that the plectng won't show,” a nciane “xen “That's what J thought,” agreed Constance, happily:; . 7 +The cashmere was-undoubtedly the most becoming “of Constance’s gowns, -and although it'was’spoken of 2s “‘the | remnant dress’” by’ Constance and her mother, Mr. Wilbpi ‘Alyays referred to ut as ‘the Wilbur will dress." !'Youth’s Companion, ~ % . dn the Belgian Parllament théré'ts an age. wiinlmum of, twenty-fize! for deputies and forty for senators.

An adult's food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: "When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother's milk not being sufficient nourishment. "One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fired a second which he likewise finished. "It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. 'To-day the boy is strong and robust, and as a cute mischief-maker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be. "We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend Grape-Nuts. "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the brightness it has brought to our household." Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Nature's grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Knife of Guillotine Used in Execution of Marie Antoinette. The knife of the guillotine used at the execution of Louis XVI. and Marie Antiginette has been discovered in the museum of a private collector. In Brussels. This grusome relic seems well authenticated. From a note by M. Gustave Babin in the Illustration it seems that M. Dubois, director des Halles de Bruxelles, acquired it by purchase in 1843 from Mme. Roch, widow of the executeur des hautees oeuvres. Up to this time Mme, Roch declared that it had never passed out of her possession. The late M. Debier claimed it, but as he would not pay the widow refused to accede to his request. He complained to the Minister of Justice, with the result that the widow was desired to take the blade to the Archives. But as the State seemed to emulate M. Debier's parsimony the widow stuck to her grim souvenir and sold it to M. Dubois. The humorous side of this, relic follows, but we must, first complete the title. M. Roch received the knife from his predecessor, M. Hemderich, who himself had obtained it from Henril Sanson, the last descendant of the dynasty of this name. Now, Henril Sanson was the grandson of the executioner of the hapless King and Queen He was dismissed from his high office on account of a scandal. The executioner, suffering from the "res augusta," had to raise a loan, and his fertility of idea succeeded where most men would have failed, and to tell the truth he pawned the guillotine. And, adds a Paris contemporary which relates the story: "La Veuve chez la Tante: cette rencontre parut intolerable." As an instance of morbid humor this is "facile princeps." The recent sale by auction of the guillotine can only be classed "proxime accessit."—London Globe. Culinary Fame. Mme. Lydla Lipkowska, the opera singer, has brought suit against a Boston hotel because an admiring chef added to the hotel bill of fare a mellifuous drink called the "Cup Lydia" and a delightful gastronomic aria denominated "Soffle aux fraises a la Lipkowska." Could anything be more ungrateful? Could anything show a more absolute disregard of the true foundations of posthumous fame? Where now would be the memory of Nesselrode, that great statesman who once dominated Europe, but for the delectable pudding by which an inspired cook perpetuated his fame? Where would linger any recollection of the Imperial Charlotte of Russia but for the wildeung Charlotte Russe? There is also the Peach Melba, immortalizing the Australian diva. Surly the cantatrice cannot be ignorant of these and many more instances wherein the cook book has become the record of a fame otherwise lost in oblivion. The only explanation is that the singer tasted the "Cup Lydia" and the "Souffle Lipkowska" and found them wanting in the elements of greatness. A good cook, as has often been proved, can hand down a name to the admiration and gratitude of unborn generations; but a bad cook can only hold it up to the execration of a fleeting, dyspeptic moment. However, let the Boston chef be not chagrined at the lack of appreciation on the part of Mme. Lipkowsia. If he has really achieved something great this work will live and the singer's name be perpetuated in spite of horself.—New York Press. Enthanasia Again. "Another of those peculiar philanthropists who propose to benefit the world by summarily removing from it all who cumber the soil has appeared—this time in Missouri, where he holds, and has held, several public offices. These drastic reformers "arise to remark" every now and then that the way to make the world better and happier is by poisoning the derelicts. Some want to asphyxiate old people; some to knock the cripples on the head, and some to cause incurables to cease from troubling by an overdose of morphine. Dr. Hudson, the latest to demand attention for the euthanasia system of reform, proposes merely to administer large doses of prussic acid to the insane and idiots. He is a county physician, and has offered to put his theory in practice at the county farm. But evidently his proposed reform is not thorough enough, for greatly to his disgust permission has been refused him to administer his "mercy tablets." There is always just the ghost of a suspicion, in spite of the incontrovertible logic with which reformers like Dr. Hudson advocate their plans for the relief of mankind, that the people who go about clamoring for permission to kill their fellow men are in need of "mercy tablets" themselves.—New York Press. Discovers Them on the Sly. At a dinner recently Professor Percival Lowell told an amusing story of an old woman he once had as housekeeper, to whom he made a sporting offer. "Janet," he said to her one day, "the very next planet I discover I will make you a present of $5." "You are very kind, sir," she replied, "and I am sure I hope you will soon discover one." Several months went by and no planets were discovered. "The fact of the matter is, ma'am," confided the old woman at last to Mrs. Lowell, "I do think the professor goes out at night and discovers planets on the sly."—Washington-Star. The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building; tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in condensed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time I began to use them my hands wore all healed up and they have not been a mite sore since.

Declimals and Duodeclimals. China's government proposes to adopt the metric system and count in tens. But it will probably be many years before the bowildering Chinese weights and measures are abandoned. A hundred years and more have not induced France to abandon the old forms." Sons are more frequent than centimes in the republic, and France—the country France—still insists on the names of the old measures. Wine is sold in barriques and chopines, beer in canettes, milk in pintes, and firewood in cordes, while in the small shops the livre is the unit, not the kilogram. Herbert Spencer offered a characteristically original system of reckoning. He clung to the duodecimal system, mainly because twelve can be divided by three and four, as ten cannot. But he suggested that all the advantages of both systems might be combined by making twelve the basis of calculation, inventing two new digits to take the places of ten and eleven, and making twelve times twelve the hundred. Spencer scornfully remarked that the decimal system rests solely on the fact that man has ten fingers and ten tices; if he had had twelve "there never would have seen any difficulty." —Chicago News.

PROSPERITY WAVE BOOMS WAGES OF MANY WORKINGMEN Thousands of Skilled Workers and Laborers on Railroads and in Industrial Plants Get Increase---Advances Are Reported From Nearly Every State---Most of Them Are Voluntary, and Follow Unrest Because of the High Cost of Living. New York City.—Substantial increases in the wages of workingmen, especially those on the railroads, in all parts of the United States are being granted. From nearly every State in the Union reports are received specifying increases. Many of them are voluntary. Some, but comparatively few, are the result of strikes or demands. In several instances Courts of Arbitration have upheld the demands of workingmen for more money, and the employers have complied. Only last week increases amounting to more than thirty-two millions of dollars a year were granted by the different railroads and virtually promised by the United States Steel Corporation. The high cost of living and a feeling of general unrest among the laboring classes, because of differences in the purchasing capacity of a dollar to-day compared with that it had ten years ago are attributed as the causes for the increase. A wave of prosperity that has increased business all around and made profits greater has enabled the railroad managers and employers to make the increases. An increase of three cents an hour has been granted to 12,000 workers of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and of the Switchmen's Union in Chicago. Eight thousand painters in the same city have been accorded an increase of five cents an hour. The bill posters there will hereafter receive $21 a week, a raise of $3. Elevator conductors have been raised from $60 to $65 a month. From Albany reports are received of a porposed increase of the wages of its employees by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. A number of factories and manufacturing firms have granted increases to their workers. Many of these have been voluntary. In Boston, Brooklyn and East Boston 1800 painters have been accorded an increase of $1.96 a week, making a wage of $20 a week for painters and $22.22 for decorators for forty-four hours' work. The conductors and trainees of the New Haven Railroad system have received advances in wages. The Norcross Brothers, building contractors in Washington, have granted an increase of fifty cents a day to their marble setters and the marble setters' helpers. Consideration is being given by the firm to a demand for an increase by the carpenters. An increase of three per cent, has been granted engine drivers on the Southern Railroad there. Prosperity has settled on the great industrial population of Rhode Island. Some increases are noted there, but not many. A year ago substantial advances were made, and all the factories are working on full time and many on overtime. Ten thousand employees of the Consolidated Coal Company, of Baltimore, have been granted a voluntary increase of three per cent. The Davis Coal and Coke Company is reported to be working on a new wage schedule for the benefit of its employees. Ten thousand employees of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have been granted increases averaging five and six per cent. Five hundred men at the independent iron plant of Moorhead Brothers & Company, in-Pittsburgh, have received a voluntary increase of ten per cent. Senate Committee Finds High Cost of Food Not Due to Freight Rates. Washington, D. C. — The special Senate committee investigating the high cost of food products has agreed upon a report prepared by a subcommittee to the effect that the testimony so far taken does not show that any part of the increase in prices is due to an increase in the freight rates. On the other hand the tendency of the railroads has been to decrease rates in the period covered by the investigation of the committee. The West Penn Railways and Lighting Company, of that city, employing more than one thousand men, has advanced wages one cent an hour, and also has announced a policy of giving pensions to its men who are unable to work longer on account of old age, disability or other causes. All employees who have been in its service ten years or longer are to be given $500 in monthly payments of $8.50. The new policy grants the family of an employee $250 in case of natural and $500 for accidental death, with a sick benefit from $8 to $10 a week. Here is a partial list of the companies who have increased their wage scales, and the number of men affected by the raise: January 30.—Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, 2000 shopmen, an increase in pay of five and ten cents an hour. February 11.—Iron League Erectors' Association, 5000 housemasters, increase thirty cents a day and promise of another twenty cents a day increase on July 1. March 1.—Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 1500 telegraphers, increase of eight per cent, in wages. March 12.—United Power and Transportation Company, controlling the electric lines in Reading, Pa.; Trenton, N. J.; Wilmington, Del., and Norristown, Lebanon and Chester, Pa., 2000 motormen and conductors, increase from eighteen cents an hour to twenty-three cents an hour. March 28.—New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, practically all the employees affected by raise, increases involving $500,000 a year in wages. March 28.—Western Maryland Railroad Company, 200 locomotive engineers, increase of eight per cent, in wages. March 28.—Big Four Railway Company, large number of telegraphers, increase involved an additional expenditure of $3400 a month for wages. March 29.—Pennsylvania Railroad Company, 195,000 men, increase of six per cent. in wages, involving an additional expenditure on wages annually of $10,009,000. March 30.—Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, 37,000 men, including all its employees receiving less than $300 a month, increase of six per cent. in wages. April 1.—Consolidation Coal Company and others, 37,000 coal miners in Indiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, five per cent. raise, meaning an increase of $20,000 a week in salaries. April 1.—New York Central Railroad Company, 58,000 men receiving $200 a month or less, an increase of seven per cent. April 1.—Boston and Albany Railroad Company, all employees receiving $200 or less a month, increase of seven per cent. April 1.—Parlin & Orendorf Company, Canton, Ill., 2000 employees receive a ten per cent. increase in their wages. April 5.—American Sugar Refining Company, all employees receive an increase in wages amounting to from five to ten per cent. The railroad companies were the first to recognize the expediency of a general increase of pay, and other concerns seem to have been impressed with the same idea. Poets' Descendants at Unique Banquet in London, London.—A unique banquet was held in London, at which Lord Coleridge presided, the gathering being composed of 200 descendants of British poets. The occasion was the anniversary of the birth of Algerian Charles Swinburne, and the dinners included the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Lytton, Lady Lindsey, Lady Shelley and Helen Mathers (Mrs. Henry Reeves). There were many interesting speeches and receptions. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN Panned Potatoes.—Cut raw potatoes into thin slices and arrange in layers in a dripping-pan, sprinkling each layer lightly with salt and pepper. Pour over enough milk to cover the potatoes well and bake two hours in a slow oven, stirring occasionally, but without breaking the slices. Add more milk, if reduced more than one-half. This is a delicious dish and especially useful for using up inferior potatoes. - DOMESTIC SCIENCE Miss Emma C. Sickels recently appeared before the House Committee on Agriculture and asked that a bureau of domestic science be established. She also asked that an appropriation of $60,000 be distributed among ten of the best schools of domestic science in agricultural colleges to enable them to engage more thoroughly in research and experimental work. PROFESSOR OF HISTORY. Miss Mary Hayden, of Dublin, recently appointed professor of history in the Dublin college of the new Catholic University of Ireland, is one of the leaders in the Gaellic revival. Her appointment was obtained by a competitive examination. The Catholic University of Ireland is to be co-educational in all its branches, and among Miss Hayden's pupils will be men in holy orders. TWO REASONS Mme. Anna Rogstad, the first woman member of the Storthing, which is the lower house o the Norwegian Parliament, a teacher in one of the primary, grades of the public schools in Christiania when elected. When asked for her reasons for believing that women should vote and serve in legislative assemblies, Mme. Rogstad said: "There are two reasons. Many women are required tq pay taxes, and taxation without representation is not right. Women should have a voice in the directions of the schools and all other institutions that have to do with children. I am a mother and was a school teacher for many years. I believe that those facts qualify me for the duties of my office. So long as I am in the Storthing my chief care shall be to safeguard the interests of women and children."—New York Sun. AMERICAN PATTERNS USED. One New York firm of pattern makers sells numberless patterns in Paris, and its fashion publications are published simultaneously in Paris, Madrid and Berlin in the language of those cities. "But it is more than this," said a New York dressmaker just back from Paris. "The whole system of dressmaking as practiced by the great modistes of Paris, the men and women who have won world-wide fame, is American. "If a woman comes to me from a little country town I know she is not going to take the thing I would build for a Fifth avenue customer. A woman from a small city in the Middle West would take something different from both the others, and a woman from Cuba something still different. I should have to adapt my work to the tastes and requirements of each. "Well, now, the great Parisian couturieres want to satisfy American women. They bring out a gown for an American customer. She sits unmoved. It is not what she wants. They bring out another. Still she is unimpressed. They bring another, and she is interested. She demands certain alterations; then she is suited. "So, they have learned the American woman's taste, and they cater to them." And the woman comes home with a trunkful of Paris gowns, which are nothing but New York gowns with the Paris stamp on them. The Parisian maker has taken the New York cut, fit and style-and built. "In two things is Paris superior and not yet successfully imitated in New York, color combinations and fine handwork. The women do not exist in America to do this handwork, and if they did it would be necessary to pay them so much that we could not compete with the foreign workers. There is a tradition of fine handwork among the needlewomen of Paris, and also a tradition of cheapness with which we cannot compete. "And as for the color combinations, there is something in the French artistic temperament which enables them to get more beautiful and subtle effects than we are able to. I acknowledge it. But'cut, fit and style they have taken from us, and it is American taste which dictates the work of the famous Paris shops."—New York Sun. TABLE MANNERS TAUGHT. Parents cannot be too careful in teaching their children all the small details which help to form refinement of character. Children who are left too much to others are almost sure to acquire bad habits, for children are very quick to observe and to imitate, those with whom they associate. If one has been brought up to have careful, manners at home one has them unconsciously elsewhere. All the little details of good breeding are then as familiar as the alphabet to one who has been taught that attention to small things is always the sort of intelligent minds toward success. This applies to culture as much as to work, or the study and practice of any accomplishment. Manners, refinement, rules of good breeding are much discussed in these days, and we judge people severely by the breach of traditionary laws, and choose our society and even our friends by the touchstone of courtesy. The first rule in social customs is to do nothing that may be disagreeable to others, therefore, at the table a well-bred person is careful to avoid fidgeting about in his chair, or crumbling his bread, or playing with the silver or other articles; he is careful to eat slowly and with mouth closed, and not to talk with food in his mouth, nor does he make any sounds when eating or drinking. Good manners require that one should be punctual at meals, and that one should not read at the table. In these days of haste this may seem an arbitrary rule at the breakfast hour, when one is tempted to glance at the news of the day, but true courtesy can never mean hearty or self-absorbed indifference to others. And now to turn to practical suggestions. At home one may fold one's napkin, but the use of a napkin ring is not now general. When visiting one may fold the napkin, if the hostess does so. One speaks of "eating" soup, not drinking it. Soup is taken from the side of the spoon, and sticklers on etiquette claim that when taking up the soup in the spoon the spoon should have a movement away from one, not toward one. It is bad form to try to take up the last drop of soup in the soup plate or to tilt the plate. When one has finished, the fork and knife are placed close together in the middle of the plate. Never must a knife or fork rest on the side of the plate or with the handle on the table or tossed together in a slovenly fashion on the plate at the conclusion of a meal. When a plate is passed for a second serving, the rule is to leave the knife and fork on it close together.—New Haven Register. Net is everywhere to the fore. Velvet striped volles are among the season's novelties. Embroidery is the strong note of the season in frocks. Coats are but slightly shorter than the ones of last season. Rosettes of soft satin ribbon are much used for trimming gowns. Black velvet slippers will be worn with the dainty lingerie frocks. Belts appear everywhere and on everything that has a waistline. The lily of the valley is a favorite design for embroidered silk hosiery. Colored linings are returning for use with the sheerest of Swiss fabrics. Velvet ribbons and black feathers trim some of the earliest Tuscan hats. Valenciennes laces, French, German and Norman, are to be extensively used on frocks. Madras in the heavy weights is making up great numbers of children's wash dresses. Hats of white Tuscan and Leghorn, trimmed with black velvet and white feathers, are shown. Tiny pink satin roses, with rose leaves, top, are to be had in the shops for trimming evening gowns. Girdles, very deeply pointed, of pompadour ribbon, morere or velvet are worn with plain-colored toilettes. Coats will be lined with silk the same shade of the cloth, the same as has been done the past two seasons. The new, lingerie gowns show a medley of laces and embroideries more intricate, if possible, than heretofore. $ ^{0} $ The new silk and cotton bengaline, very supple and in a wide range of colors, is quite a favorite for house gowns. A novelty in trimming for lingerie frocks is a tiny cotton fringe, quite like that used on bedroom curtains: $ ^{1} $ covers. Scarfs of white pongee are novel and attractive. They are finished with a buttonholed edge and have more or less elaborate handwork as well. A very pretty ornament for the hair is a filet of black velvet about half an, inch wide, finished with a tiny bow, either directly in front or a little to one side. Sleeves that are cut in one with the body of the garment, but which are neither of the old dolman shape nor of the badly used kimono style, figure in the richest coats. Panniers, whenever they are employed now, are made of the most supple materials, which droop in long, graceful folds, instead of producing even a suggestion of bournanty. 11 comparison with public demands, tribute it.

One self-dom sees a Boston periodical in South Carolina and never one out of Chicago or St. Louis. Were the rates of postage on magazines proportioned to the length of the haul, a natural if not inevitable result would be the establishment of magazines in cities throughout the country, and we should have a multiplication of literary nuclei. Long hauls would prevent sales at low prices. Under present conditions the centralization of literary production in New York is even greater than is that of money and business, and in time it seems that the whole literary output of the country would have a New York flavor. If the changes in postal rates blunted at, if not advised, in President Taft's message, should compel the establishment of magazines in New Orleans and Chicago, for examples, they would have a local flavor, and therefore a distinction of value. New Orleans authors who write for New York publishers cannot escape from New York influences—they cannot be wholly free. Indeed, when they are successful they are usually drawn to New York, to the literary impoverishment of New Orleans. The Self-Centred Woman By Winifred Elack KNOW a young married woman—bright as a new penny, pretty as a colored photograph and full of life and fun of living. She went to a new town to live not long ago, and at first she was the rage. Every one called, every one fell in love, every one raved. "So pretty." "So bright." "So full of fun," every one said. And then nobody called any more, except the ill-natured and the gossips, who were not tolerated anywhere else. And then nobody called any more, except so were not tolerated anywhere else. Then the invitations began to sag, and a young married woman, and she droppedely, and pretty miscrable life.

And she really isn't vicious and crucish and light-headed and self-centred—sular—an she wonders why. Then the invitations began to sag, and then everybody said no more about the young married woman, and she dropped into a rather neglected, wholly lonely, and pretty miserable life. Her husband saw that his wife was popular no longer, and he began to look for the reason—and find fault—mentally. "I guess she isn't as pretty as she looks to me," he said to himself. "Nobody else seems to admire her and her temper certainly is bad." The young married man's relations came to visit, and they wondered and raised their eyebrows, and the young married woman said she couldn't bear the town and that there wasn't an interesting person in it and she wanted to go home, so there. And it was all because she didn't know enough to curb her tongue. Every time she went to a party she had a great time making fun of every one there. At first her partners laughed, but when the next partner laughed the last partner looked uneasy and never asked the young married woman with the penchant for satire to dance again. Every time the young married woman went to pay a visit she took up half the time talking about the last person at whose house she called. She laughed at their ideas or imitated their little peculiarities, and somehow the visit was never returned. And she really isn't vicious and cruel or malicious at all; she's just foolish and light-headed and self-centred—so she's shunned and olnely and unpopular—an she wonders why.
