Tae bill carted an appro- priation of almost $134,000,000. Iwo Important amendments were adopted. One of them, offered by Senator John- ston, appropriated $150,000 for the pur- chase of torpedo boats, whose “vitals are below the normal {oad line;” the ether by Senator Joncs eliminates railroad, county and municipal bonds from ‘the securities which may be de- posited by contractors. ‘The naval increase for the. fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, provided by the bill, is as Yollows: ‘Two first class battléships, to cost not exceeding $6,000,000 each. ‘Two fleet colliers, to cost not ex- ceeding $1,000,000 each. ‘Five submarine torpedo" boats, not exceeding a total of $2,500,000. ‘Six torpedo boat destroyers, to cost not exceeding $750,000 each. "The ‘ouse bill provides for only four submarines, and no torpedo boat de- stroyers. The senate also added a pro- vision that not moro than one of the battleships should be built by the same company. The provision insert. ed in the house requiring that the Dattleships and fleet colliers should be built under the elght-hour law was retained by .the senate. ‘Tae closing hour of the debate serv. ed to elicit two Important historical reyelations by Senator Depew, which were given from his own store of in formation. One of them bore on the ‘war with Spain, and the other Vene- muelan embroglio with Great Britain in the second administration of Pres ident Cleveland, The statement re- garding the Spanish war was elicited Dy an assertion by Senator Heyburn that people themselves did not want wars, but generally were compelled by thelr Tulers to submit to them. ‘Taking issue with tae Idaho senator Mr. Depew said that the popular de- mand had forced the war with Spain on the country, and that President McKinley had been opposed to it. He sald that as favorable terms could have been obtained frofi Spain with- ont as with war. “Does not the senator believe that but for the pressure of that time the president would have negotiated wits Spain off the American continent??! asked Mr. Hale. “I do,” responded the New York senator. “I knew of my own knowl edge that Spain was prepared to abandon Cuba and Porto Rico to pre vent humiliation if she cotld be a» sured in advance of the acceptance of the proposition.” ‘He sald President McKinley had not been @ strong enough personality to resist popular will. ‘Mr. Depew also related some his tory concerning the Venezuelan epi sode of the second Cleveland admin istration. “An intimate friend of mine wh¢ was also an jntimate friend of Lord Salisbury, thetthe British prime min ister,” he sald, ‘told me that waen the president's message was promulgated Lord Salisburg sald’ to him, ‘I believe that on account of the rancor comin} down fiom the revolutionary war ant accentuated by certain occurrences {1 the clvil war, America means to have a war with Great Britain at som time, and I belleve now is the bes time, when America bas no. navy. The view of the prime minister wa: averted by Queen Victorla, but if Lor Salisbury had had the power possess ed by some English prime minister fae fssue certainly would have ,beer tried out” Mr. Depew used_the last incident t enforce an argument in favor of ; strong navy and for the present av thorization of two new beitleships o the Dreadnought type.

G.—The canal dig- gers on the isthmus are having trou- ble; principally owing to the unprece- dented rainfall, which has loosened the soil and interfering with engincer- ing operations. At Jone place, about a mile nérth of Emplie, an old canal dug by the French, broke through tae banks into the new cut, flooding seven steam shovels and raising the water 55 feet above sea level. It became necessary to construct a glant fume of timber to divert the water “of the ola canal, before operations could be rseumed. In another case what are known a3 tho “toes” of the west section of Ga- tun dam have been sliding in and washed away the trestles, and not- withstanding the greatest efforts on the part of the engineers, 10,000 to 15,000 cubic. yards of material ditap- peared almost instantaneously into a great hole that had. been washed un- der the corners of the dam. Howevér, pile drivers were set to work at once and the gap was closed within a week, so that there has been no serious in- terruption in the work, Great progress is being made in the construction of the mammoth locks at Gatun, according. to the Canal Rec- ord, and 16.7 per cent of the concrete has’ been placed. - COTTON IMPORTED. | Raw Cotton Drawn ifrom All Over I. the World.

The belief is that the dynamite was intended to be exploded through the agency of the string and the revolver when the suitcase would be lifted from the porch. Mr, Dennison’s little daughter and a schoolmate had tried to lift the suit case, but failéd because of its weight. They exposed the. cord, ‘however, which attracted Mr. Dennison’s at- Yention.

Z Washington, D. C—Materlal reduc. tfons upon the numbered classes of freight between Cincinnati, Ohfo, and Chattanooga, ‘Tenn., were ordered. by the interstate commerce commistion. ‘The present rates, which have been fn effect many years, were held to be unreasonable, even in prevailing conditions of cost of railway opera: tion. The reductions will become-ef fective July 15, next. The reductions ordered by the com mission on each of the six classes of freight between Cincinnati and Chat tanooga are as follows in cents Des ‘hundred pounds: First, 76 to 70; second, 65 to- 60; third, 57 to 53; fourth, 47 to 44; firth 40 to 38, and ‘sixth, 30 to 29. ‘These rates, by order of the commission, must’ remain in effect, beginning ox July 15, for at least. two years.

The police say be confessed and implicated two other men who are being sought. s Sorrowing relatives of the dead were the particular prey of the al- leged_ swindler;—but sometimes new- ly wedded persons were defrauded.

Tae “company” owned a supply of cheap jewelry. : These articles, in neatly addressed packages,-were ‘sent to tho dead of other cities always “colle-t.” The de- liverles were so timed as to reach the house when the bereavement was at its highest tension after: the day of the funeral and the first thought of the survivors was that there was some sentimental’ value between the artl- cles and the degeased. The bill, rang. ing from $3 to $20, was gladly ‘paid without the contents betng examined. In the case of newly-married per. sons the impression was that it was a present from ‘somebody who forgot to pay for the goods and.the bill was ‘usually paid. \yinfrelght agent was sent here trom Washington to work on the case. De- tectives found a letter in which tae executors of James A. McClurg, who died recently at Denver, sent the company a check for $12 in payment for spectacles.

Heike, secretary-treasurer of the American. Sugar Refiaing Company, who, with five subordinates, Js charg- ed with conspiracy to defraud the gov- ernment in underweights of sugar im- ports. : Spitzer, as superintendent of the company’s Williamsburg (Brooklyn) docks, got two years in the Atlanta penitentiary for his participation in the frauds, but he was quietly par- doned by the presfdent, after serving only ‘three months and having made full confession. From now on io wilt aid the government in its attempt to ‘convict his former associates. Spitzer's story on the stand did not directly connect Heike with the frauds, but his confession resulted in one new arrest. James O. Brzezin- skl, formerly an employe of the treas- ury department and now a private de- tective, was locked in the Tombs, charged with perjury. Spitzer con- fessed that he attempted to bribe Brezezinski to conceal the frauds and the latter is alleged to have denied this before a federal grand jury. No promise of pardon brougat about Spitzer's confession, say the federal authorit{es. His ‘conscience merely hurt him, {t was explained, Dut, realizing ‘the importance of his testimony and the legal obstacles Mkely to bar it were he a convict, action was taken to restore him to citizenship. - When convicted in February last Spitzer declared the sugar trust had made him the scapegoat. “I€ hounded and ruined me after I had served faithfully for twenty-nine years," he said.- He told how for years he had assisted in the alleged frauds. He described the use, about 1994 and 1895, of amall bags of lead on the beam of the scales, causing the record- ed weights to be sometimes 40 pounds short to a draft, and also the stuffing of newspapers underneath the floors of the Scales for the samé purpose. '. This use of paper was an absolute. ‘ly new development in tho fraud_in- vestigatién, Heike listened to Spit zer’s testimony with tense interest. Spitzer demonstrated in court tho vase. of ihe Bigs ot teed aud testined -abdut the steel springs, saying that ‘firat heavy ones were used and later ght ones. The springs, he sald, were substituted for lead and paper when Deputy Survey of Customs Vail took office, while the use of springs was abandoned after the sugar trust had pafd the rebate to the government as ‘a result of the federal suit. HEAT THEORIES DISPELLED. Colored Underwear Does Not Repel ? Ga aot Washington, D. C.—Fantastic theo- ries regarding the use of colored un- derclotaing to repel the heat in the tropics have been dispelled by a re- port made by the army board for the study of the tropical diseases in the Philippines. About 18 months ago 6,- 000 suits of orange red underclothing and @ corresponding number of orange red hat bands were sent to the Phil- olppines. These were distributed #0 that one-half of a company should be clad In the ‘new garments and the other in the ordinary Waite’ under- clothes. The army surgeons kept close watch upon the mep, but they fafled to find that the colored underclothes brought any relief from the tropical heat, although British army officers in India had reported that such clotaing was much more comfortable in “hot weather than white. . ‘The medical board found that the colored underclothing which, by the way, was unpopular, added material- Jy to’the burden of heat upon the sys- tem whica {s 8 great cause of tropical eterloration. It is admitted that the orange red is a protective against the chemical rays of tho sun, but the same result is secured by ‘the khaki and the tan-colored campaign hat of the American soldier. The experi- ments were conducted with the great- est care, frequent records being made ‘of blood pressure, of loss of welght and of general conditions. The re- sults wera the same in the case of eitaer the white skin of the American or the brown skin of the Filipino. 35 HURT IN WRECK. Fast Express Train Meets Bad Accl- dent In Arkansas.

Atlanta, Ga— In connection witk the work it is doing in exploiting the resources of the South with thé pur- pose of attracting desirable settlers, the Southern,Railway company an nounced ‘that ‘during the coming fall it will make displays of southern pro- ducts ata number of important fairs in the north and west where they will be witnessed by at Jeast a million peo- ple outside the south. At the Ohio Valley exposition to, be held at Cincinnati, October 29 to Sep- tember 24, the Southern Railway com- ‘pany, co-operating with other. railway compantes of the south, ‘will make @ very large exhibit, Arrangements have been made for over twenty thousand square feet of floor space- in which it 1s planned to install just as complete exhibits as possible of the agricultural, horticultural, miner- al, forest, and manufactured products of the south. Attractive photograpas will also be used to explolt the re- sources and beauties of the sotubiern country. In addition to this joint display at Cincinnat!, the Southern Railway com- pany will ‘mako a number of displays at other’ expositions and “important fairs’ where it 1s likely tho greatest number of people can be reached and shown the possibilities and opportu- nities which await them in the souta along the lines of the Southern and its allied roads. ‘The co-operation of the péople of the south is needed and requested In making these exhibits as attractive, complete and convincing as they should be, and it is hoped that they, .RAll give this cooperation by gontrib- ‘uting specimens and samples df‘prod- ucts waich will aid in showing the re- sources of the country. Samples of agrictltural preducts of high class, together with information about yields, cultivation and returns are es- pecially wanted. ‘M. V. Richards, land and industrial agent, Washington, D. C., will make the exhibits for the Southern Railway system and all who are {nterested should communicate with him, giving information about the material they can furnish, so that proper instruc- tions may ‘be given as to salpping products for display. It, 1s important that every section be properly repre. sented and commercial bodies, agricul tural organizations and citizens gen-, erally interested in the, growth — of their localities are invited to promote the interests of their particular sec- tions by working for thorough rop- resenfation. The. representatives of the Southern’s land and industrial de- partment in the south are: W. L. Hen- derson, Mobile, Als.; O. J. Stephens, Macon, Ga; T. B. Thackston, Bristol, Tenn.; and'J. F. Hays, Brevard, N, C- A letter to any of them or to Mr. Rich- ards will receive prompt attention. ‘The determination of the Soutaern Railway company to make such exten- sive exhibits of the resources and products of the south at expositions and faira in the north and west this Yall is due to the splendid results re- ceived from such work in the past. Since its organization in 1894 the ‘Southern Railway company has made exhibits of the products of the coun- try along its lines at nearly fifty ex- positions and fairs, bota in the United States and Europe. In this work the company has expended @ large amount of money, believing this to be ‘one of the best methods of advertis- ing the southern states. ~ ‘These displays have done most ef- fective “boosting for all portions of the south reached by the company’s Unes and many settlers and industries ‘can be traced directly to them. 18 Injured In Southern Wreck.

R. E. Paoli Treasurer of the State of Georgia. State School Commissioner to Go With Gordon Institute. PROF. M.L. BRITTAIN NAMED Governor Offers Position at Head of State's Schools to the Fulton County School Commissioner. Atlanta, Ga Governor Brown has tendered the position of state school commission, soon to be made vacant by the resignation of Commissioner Jere M. Pound, to Professor M. L. Brittain, county school commissioner of Fulton county. While neither the governor nor Professor Brittain will discuss the matter, it is understood there is no question that he will accept. The whole situation, it appears, is yet-in the informal state. Commissioner Pound has informed the governor that he would resign to take effect July 1, when he goes to the Gordon Institute, but has not yet written his resignation. But upon the strength of Professor Pound's statement the governor made tender of the position to Professor Brittain, and, it is stated, received the latter's assurance that he would accept. Professor Brittain is a graduate of Emory College, and has devoted his entire life to the work of education in Georgia. He was recently tendered the position of president of Shorter College, but declined, to continue his work as superintendent of Fulton county schools, which he has held for several years. He was formerly connected with Atlanta's public schools, but left them to take up the work in the county. The appointment will hold only until, after the regular state election in October, or until the expiration of Professor Pound's two year term. THE PEACH CROP. 4,061 Cars of Peaches to Be Marketed in 1910. Macon, Ga—Georgia's peach crop, which will be worth a couple of million dollars net, or more, to the Georgia fruit grower, is beginning to be marketed. The first shipment was received in Atlanta and the luscious Georgia fruit sold for $3 a crate. Fruit crop failures in neighboring states will make Georgia supply practically all of the country during the next two months. Growers during the past year have devoted themselves intensively to the culture of their orchards, by heavy fertilization, spraying, etc., with the result that the Georgia peaches promise to be bigger and better than ever. Estimates of the coming Georgia fruit crop give the grand total of cars of peaches to be marketed this year at 4,061. This will mean a very large crop for this state and the present predictions are that the fruit to be marketed will be the best ever shipped from the south. It will be good news not only in this state, but throughout the country, that the Georgia peach is about to make its debut in the market again. Juliette, Ga—The peach growers of this section are busily engaged in, making preparations for harvesting this years' crop of peaches. From the latest investigations made of the orchards of this vicinity, it now seems that a fine crop of peaches will be harvested here this year, as fully as good as last season, when a half crop was gathered. HOW TO AVERT PELLAGRA. Department of Agriculture Issues an Important Bulletin. Atlanta, Ga-To avert pellagra in the cases of cattle and live stock appears to be the subject of a circular order issued by the state department of agriculture. Commissioner T. G. Hudson is sending out notice to merchants and dealers over the state, calling their attention to the necessity of carefully in specting the condition of all corps shipped to them during the next few months. About this time of the year there is a great deal of complaint with regard to damaged corn, which is due chiefly to improper curing. Corn not subjected to proper storage condition when gathered will become heated, and in the sweating process which follows the grain is likely to be damaged, rendering its dangerous when, fed to stock. The pure food law prohibits the sale of corn in this condition, except when full notice is given the purchaser of the nature and extent of the damage. The department has issued a bulletin, No. 48, giving the grades of corn adapted to Georgia, which will be of great assistance to the buyer. Commissioner Hudson says that grade No. 2 corn is allowed a maximum of 16 per cent moisture and No. 3 as much as 19 per cent, and this will not become heated in Georgia climate under ordinary conditions of care. He advises Georgia merchants to insist that corn shipped to them shall come within these requirements, as they will thereby avoid annoyance and trouble which is sure to come to them if the state inspector finds they are offering damaged corn for sale. Commissioner Hudson says the present price of live stock is too great to take any chance on feeding them with damaged corn, and he feels that this warning to the merchants of Georgia will be of considerable value and protection to the consumers. Atlanta-Macon Electric Road. Macon, Ga.—According to information coming from prominent persons interested in the Interurban Electric Railway lines from Macon to Atlanta and from Macon to Albany, the contractors are soon to break dirt for the construction. The line to Atlanta is promised complete during the present year. The construction work awaits some details that are, at this time under consideration. As soon as the business plans are ready, the building will be done very rapidly. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vico President. INSPECT CATTLE SHIPMENTS. Atlanta, Ga-According to Captain Robert F. Wright, assistant commissioner of agriculture, there is no more pressing need of the state than the creation of an office of state veterinarian, and better regulations as to the examination of animals for both intra-state and inter-state shipment, together with provisions for the condemnation of hopelessly diseased animals. "This was well illustrated," said Captain Wright, "by the case of one of the leading dairymen of Green county, who shipped a young high-grade Angus bull to a party at Tallapoosa, Ala. The bull was shipped over the Georgia railroad. When it came to Atlanta, the Louisville and Nashville declined to accept it for transportation to Alabama, on the ground that the bill of lading was accompanied by no certificate of health, and that such certificate was required by the Alabama laws before the bull could cross the state line. "On inquiry, the dairyman found that the tuberculin tests and other tests necessary to prove the animal's good health would cost him $15. Meanwhile, the bull was halted here in Atlanta and the dairyman was responsible for the expense of keeping him. "All these troubles could be avoided, if we had a state veterinarian with a sufficient staff to investigate animals both for intra-state and interstate shipment." Captain Wright is of the belief that it would be, a great saving to the state if all domestic animals, such as horses, mules, cattle and sheep, shipped from other states had to carry with them a certificate of health. In proof of this, he cited the case of a farmer who recently lost, ten fine mules, valued at $2,250, from glanders, which were shipped to him from another state. The germs of the disease were active in the animals at the time of the shipment, which might have been proved by the necessary examination, but they did not die until several months afterwards. Another Congressman Possible. Atlanta, Ga.—Georgians are await ing the report of the census bureau at Washington in reference to the nopulation. It is believed that the increase in population will entitle the state to another congressman, and it is possible that the number will be increased from eleven to twelve. The districts as now arranged contain 160,000 to 200,000 or more population, and if the same basis of representation is maintained another congressional district is sure to be formed, as it is believed the population will be 3,000,000.

I am deeply grateful for the kind expressions of my friends, but before making the statement I gave the subject serious thought. The reasons which caused me to decline to enter the race are such that I cannot alter the decision then made. If my friends fully understood those reasons they would not criticise my action, and I sincerely hope they will attach no blame to my course, as it distresses me very much to know I cannot do as they wish.'

Let us Figure on your Next Order for Job Printing Work Delivered Promptly Hal B. Wimberley of Dullin, who has been urged to make the race tor state treasurer, has decided that he will not enter the race this year. A clash between the federal authorities and farmers of North Georgia is about to occur because of the practice of the farmers in allowing all kind of stock to run loose over the government preserves. Chickamauga National park, or at least a great portion of it, is in north Georgia, and federal government has purchased a large tract of land which is kept by Uncle Sam. It is said the farmers have become entirely too careless allowing their stock to wander forth from the farms, and graze on the government property. A large amount of damage has already been done, and the federal authorities say that drastic methods will be employed to stop the nuisance if the farmers persist. The collector of internal revenue is now sending cnt notices to corporations in Georgia who have failed to supply information required by the corporation act passed in August last notifying them that unless they comply with the law within the next ten days he will be compelled to examine their books and papers and that they will subject themselves to a fine ranging from one thousand to ten thousand dollars. The corporation tax is one per cent on all profit over five thousand dollars made by all corporations. How John Larned's Daughter Came to Take Richard Cortland to the Church Supper. The telephone bell rang sharply. The sender young woman put down her book and answered the call. In a moment she turned from the 'phone. "Mother," she called, "it's father. He wants to talk to you." The mother came from an inner room and took the receiver. In a moment or two she hung up the instrument and looked around at her daughter. Her face wore a worried expression. "Norma," she said, "your father is going to bring a guest to dinner." "I couldn't quite catch what your father said. I think the man must have been there close to him while he talked. His "name is Cortland, I think." "I know," said the girl, "It's Professor Cortland. Father has talked so much about him, you know. He was in the faculty when father was in college. He must be quite old now. I suppose he is here attending the sociological convention. How glad father must have been to see him. Of course he'll stay all night." The mother sighed. "I was just wondering about the dinner," she said. "Olga thinks she feels a little better, but she can't be expected to wait on the table. It will be all she can do to look after the kitchen. And your father is so particuar about having everything nice when there's company." The girl suddenly laughed. "Don't worry, mummy. I'll wait on the table and do my best to keep Olga in good spirits, too. The professor won't object." The mother's face brightened. "You must explain it to him some way. Here, I'll do it myself." She ran to the 'phone and rang up her father's office. "Is that you, daddy?" she asked. "Now listen, daddy, and betray no surprise. Olga is having one of her attacks of bad feelings. You know how she is—homesick and melancholy and talks of sailing for Denmark tomorrow. If we're going to have a dinner tonight it will be necessary to give her a lot of encouragement—do you get that? So I'll be in the kitchen as much as possible, and I am going to wait on the table and you are to express no surprise. You mustn't be surprised either when I open the door for you. And if the professor asks after me—which he will forget to do—tell him I'm attending a rehearsal for our church supper. That's all. Only don't be surprised. Good-by." She hung up the receiver and turned to her mother. "Now to set the table," she said. When John Larned and his guest stepped into the hall an hour later they were confronted by a very trim maid in a coquettish apron and a coquettish cap, who waited demurely by the door as they passed in. She caught a frowning glance from John Larned's spectacled eyes and let one of her own eyelids droop ever so little in response. And then a shade of dismay crossed her face as she caught sight of the guest. This couldn't be the professor. Not unless the old experimenter had discovered the elixir of youth. This was a man of 30, erect, dark, keen eyed. Norma knew he was keen eyed because he threw a quick glance at her as he passed. She flushed a little. "Come up to my den," said Norma's father. "Yes, they let me have a den. You can leave your coat and hat up there and I'll show you an old keepake of your uncle's." He looked over his shoulder. "Tell your mistress wa will be down in a few moments," he said to his daughter. "Yes, sir," said Norma, and again the guest threw a quick glance at her. The girl looked just a little displeased when she joined her mother in the dining room where that good lady was putting the finishing touches to the table. "It isn't the professor at all, mother," she said. "Somebody came. I think he's the professor's nephew. And I'm to tell you, ma'am, that they are here." The mother laughed. "It's like a little play, isn't it?" she said. "Only in plays they don't have real food and trouble in the kitchen." "Nor such nice make-believe waitresses. You look much too, good to be true, my dear." Norma blushed. "Perhaps I've found my mission, mummy. But there, all will go well if papa doesn't forget his part, Hush, they are coming down." Ten minutes later Norma appeared in the doorway. "Dinner is served, ma'am." --- said in tones that bore just an infinitesimal Celtic flavor. Her father looked up suddenly. Then he looked at her mother. The guest looked at the spot that Norma promptly vacated. Then the three moved out to the dining room. The guest gave a quick glance around as he took the chair at the lady's right. The waitress had vanished. "I think you said you had a daughter?" remarked the guest. "Yes," replied Norma's father. He looked at Norma's mother. "She is rehearsing." "For a church supper," Norma's mother added. The door opened and Norma entered with the soup. The young man looked up. "I have attended performances of that sort," he said with an effort, "but never a hehearsal. No doubt the children greatly enjoy the fun they find in the drilling. Of course, there can be no rehearsals for the supper patrons." "They all laughed at this whimsical idea—all except Norma, who passed the guest's soup before him and passed along with an air of dignified indifference. "Norma makes herself very useful," said Norma's mother. "At least she makes the attempt," added her father. The young man-nodded. "Oh, well," he said, "she is only a child. I suppose that was her portrait I saw up stairs. She seemed a cute little thing." Norma's father suddenly put his napkin to his mouth. He didn't look at Norma as she took away his plate. "That portrait was taken several years ago," said Norma's mother, with a reproving look at the host. "They are still cuter when they are a year or two older," said the guest. "Like all parents, I know you dread to think that she will grow taller and taller and have thoughts of beaux and parties and long frocks and insist upon staying up until 9 o'clock. Norma passed from the room with the soup plates. "You have a sentimental taint that I hadn't credited you with possessing," said Norma's father. "Perhaps you can see how that little work picture of yours is affecting Mrs. Larned." The face of Norma's mother was at least very red and it grew a shade redder as Norma entered with the roast. The young man seemed to breathe with a slight difficulty. "My uncle, the professor, wrote to me concerning your little girl," he said, and Norma set the roast down in front of her father with some suddenness. "This suggested a little present for her. I have it here. It is an ivory Annambese rattle box—at least that is what it would be called in English. I bought it at, a bazar in Ponkipung. Of course, as a plaything it is a little young for your daughter, but perhaps she will like the carvings—and by holding it thus it can be made into a Tibetan prayer machine. See?" He passed it to Norma's mother, who admired it and handed it to Norma's father—while Norma stood demurely by. "What intricate work," said Norma's father. "You'd better put this away, mother, until Norma is old enough to properly appreciate it." Norma took the water pitcher and quietly left the room. The soup had been good, the roast and its concomitants were excellent and there was no question regarding the satisfactory character of the service. "The guest was in excellent spirits." The guest was in excellent spirits. "When a man has knocked about the world as much as I have he begins to get the right perception of the real value of a home," he said. "I'm 30 and not yet across the border line of nomadic indifference. In fact, I fondly hope to have a home of my own some blessed day." He suddenly smiled. "Perhaps the home maker of my dreams is even now on her flower-strewn way." He stopped short, Norma "was coming in with the salad. Richard Cortland permitted his gaze to follow the young woman as she moved about the table. Then he suddenly was aware of the fact that his host and hostess were watching him. "For a man who has hunted elephants and shot tigers on the wing," said John Larned, "you certainly claim a surprising amount of domestic tameness." Richard Cortland started. "Domestic tameness, of course," he said. "That is, if domestic tameness spills: happiness." Then he noticed, that his hostess was looking at him with a very singular expression. "I beg your pardon," he said, but his eyes followed Norma as she gatherped up the plates. "Are you Richard Cortland, the traveler?" the hostess asked. "I am Richard Cortland," he answered. "And I am something of a traveler." "But I mean the Richard Cortland who has written the new book of travels that is said to be more fascinating than any novel, the book that exhausted the first edition in a week?" "The young man stirred uneasily. "I have written a book," he replied. The lady gave her husband a reproachful look. "John," she murmured, "why didn't you tell me? Everybody is talking about Mr. Cortland's book. "My dear hostess," said the young man, "John Larned thinks well of me because I am the nephew of my uncle, the professor. That fact outweighs a thousand books. And I think well of him because my good old uncle loved him and praised him and bade me seek him out and ask his friendship. And now I see I'm going to think well of you all on your own account, dear friends—if you will let me. And I want to know the little girl, too, and win her regard and who knows what may happen?" And he laughed merrily, a laugh that was broken by a sudden crash on the table. Norma had dropped a plate. "Why, my dear!" cried Norma's father. Perhaps in the momentary confusion that followed the mishap this term of endearment was missed by the guest. Anyway he carefully refrained from glancing toward the scene of disaster, but kept up a lively dialogue with the hostess until Norma had passed from the room. But the new waltress didn't lack courage. She was back presently with the dessert, her pretty head held high and her air of indifference more pronounced than before. When she had brought in the after-dinner coffee and passed out, the hostess turned to the guest with a little sigh of relief. "As an old friend of the family," she said, "I will confess that this dinner has worried me a little." "How could it?" te guest demanded. "It was excellent and so nicely served." "Yet it did," persisted the hostess, "Our maid—I mean the cook—has a spell of homesickness. She longs for a sight of a Danish face and the sound of the Danish tongue—and when she has these attacks it is almost impossible to hope for any help fro her. Perhaps you noticed my uneasiness?" "No, madam," replied Richard Cortland. "There would appear to have been no cause for it." They arose and passed into the library and Richard's spirits appeared to rise with each passing moment. "I hope," he said, "that you are both fully prepared to accept me as a friend—a privileged character?" "Of course we are," responded the hostess. "Of course," echoed John Larned. "And I am to consider myself entirely at home?" He looked at the hostess quizzically. "What is the name of the homesick cook?" he suddenly asked. "Olga." He arose. "I am going to test the depth of your friendship," he laughingly said. "I am going out to your kitchen to see if I can't cure your suffering domestic. We will soon know if my year in the University of Copenhagen was wasted. Don't move, please." Before the startled hostess could utter a word the guest was on his way to the kitchen. John Larned stared at his wife. "Think of Norma!" she gasped. "Yes," said John's wife, quite unmoved. "He's a splendid fellow." Then she suddenly sat up very straight. "Hark!" she whispered. They could hear a murmur of voices from the kitchen. Then one voice arose loud and clear. It seemed to be declaiming. Suddenly someone laughed and laughed again. "That's Olga," whispered Mrs. John. "First dose highly effective," murmured John Larned. Then the clear voice ran into a quaint old song—a college song, they thought. The words were in an unknown tongue, but there was a merry lift to the tune and quite without warning a second voice broke in and the two voices blended very fairly. "That's Olga again," said John's wife. "Second dose equally effective," said John. The two voices sang the song through together. Then they stopped with a merry laugh. The masculine voice went on with the declamation. "He must be talking Danish," said John's wife. "No doubt of it, my dear. I've seen it stated somewhere that Richard Cortland had mastered nine languages. The guest seemed to be telling a story. From time to time the delightful cook loudly chuckled and at the claim she roared with delight. "There's no questioning that treatment," murmured John. "I wonder, where Norma is?" whispered Norma's mother. "I wonder," repeated Norma's father. Norma's mother put her finger to her lips and stood up. "Come," she said. John Larned arose and followed his wife. Their way led them through the dining room and into the china closet. They moved with great care and canion. When they were in the dark closet they could look through the glass in the door into the kitchen. The culinary department looked, as usual, quite as clean as wax. Leaning back against the kitchen table stood Richard Cortland. He was talking rapidly in a foreign tongue and gesticulating freely. In front of him sat the light-haired Danish girl, the homeslok Olga. She was looking at him eagerly, a bright smile on her face as she drank in his words. Mrs. John clutched her husband's arm and pointed across the room. Norma was sitting against the wall looking with a calm disdain at the cook and the stranger. She sat bolt upright, her dainty little cap still on her head. John Larned suddenly put his hand over his mouth, and his wife gently shook him. And now Richard was finishing his story. He stepped forward and made Olga a very low bow. And Olga rising and spreading her skirts courtesed almost to the floor. Then the girl's merry laughter rang out again. But she checked it and pointed to Norma. Whereupon the guest bowed low to the smart young waitress. But Norma, with nose in the air, received this salutation haughtily and inclined her head very slightly. Again John Larned covered his mouth with his hand and his wife, fearing further consequences, drew him away and they retraced their steps to the library. Scarcely were they seated when Richard entered the room. And Norma demurely followed. Richard was laughing, but Norma's face wore a look that was meant for offended dignity. "Dear friends," said Richard, "I'm glad to report that the cure is complete—only I mustn't be far away in case of a relapse. And I met your little girl coming from the rehearsal and have returned her to the bosom of her family." And he gracefully waved his hand toward the pouting Norma. "Olga gave me away," cried that young woman. "Let us not blame Olga too severely," said Richard Cortland. "I knew there was something unusual in the details of that recent feast. It was an impolite suspicion, but I must admit it. As a waitress the young Lady in the coquettish cap and the cunning apron altogether too good to be true." "I told you so," cried Norma's mother. "Mother!" cried Norma. "I am sorry for something," said Richard contritely. "It was too bad that the rudeness of the guest of honor should cause the young woman to drop a plate." Norma's face reddened. "Then you heard what father called me?" "How could I help it," he replied. "Haven't I been in the secret service of the ameer? Miss Norma, will you let me be present at that supper on one condition—that I pay for it by talking to the good people about some queer feasts I've seen in strange lands with no reference to unusual waltresses?" "Oh, will you?" cried Norma. "Gladly." She gave him a beautiful look. "I must telephone Dr. Harley at once," she cried. "One moment, waitress," he said. "I haven't given my final order. We are now about to take the Nepal oath of fidelity. See, it's like the child's game. We put our hands in a little pile, palm to back, and then say 'Here's to a better and closer friendship.'" And Norma's face flushed again. JEWS AND MIXED MARRIAGES. Rabbis Oppose—But What About an Extra 150,000 Jewish Men? The Jewish rabbis who participated in the recent Jewish conference in this city had a good deal to say on the subject of mixed marriages. To the Jew a "mixed marriage" means a union between a Jew and a "non-Jew." Apparently without exception the rabbits oppose such marriages; but the American Hebrew, while not advocating the mixed marriage, presents some interesting facts which have a bearing on the question. "Between 1884 and 1905," says this authority, "342,000 Jewish men arrived in this country, as compared with 220,000, Jewish women, an excess of 120,000 men over women. The same proportion has doubtless prevailed in the immigration of the last four years, so that it is almost certain that there is an excess of 150,000 men in the Jewish population of the niteUd States. "Whom are these to marry? That is a practical aspect of the problem of intermarriage which will press itself more and more on attention as time goes on. There are several obvious conclusions to be drawn from this somewhat startling fact. Jewish girls ought to find little trouble in obtaining suitable spouses; they can pick and choose. If the excess of men is, not to be lost to Judaism steps must be taken before, long to render systematic the proselytizing of their wives and their training in the Jewish law and custom." "I should think it would be a simple matter to induce a woman to get ready in time to attend an evening performance." "What's your scheme?" "Ask her to go to the matinee!"—Louisville: Courier-Journal. The first record of Halley's comet was B. C. 240. Her Special Realm Small Expenses. Never throw up another person's small expenses as an example that you are ever so careful yourself. You don't smoke cigars as your flance does, but your unconsidered trifles come to far more money week by week than his tobacco. If you wish to query expenses, put down every penny you spend on small items, get your flance or husband to do the same, and you may find yourself on the wrong side of the ledger.—Home Notes. Etiquette of Visiting Cards. If the theory of the interchange visiting cards is once understood, woman need not puzzle about how she should acknowledge invitations toceptions, teas, weddings, or weddings, wedding announcements any other kind, such as births deaths. All of these are engraved a are written in the third person. Here again is another fundamen rule of polite society:—An invitation is always to be answered in the sa Home For Southerners. The proposed home for indigent southern women in New York has met with such generous support on the part of northern women that the plan has been changed and widened. Instead of building the home in Virginia, as was at first proposed, it has now been determined to erect it near New York and to open it to both northern and southern women. It is planned to conduct it along the lines of the Louise home in Washington, where President Tyler's daughter spent her last days. The only restrictions will be that the inmates shall be of gentle birth and respectable. Mrs. Le Roy Broun is at the head of the committee which is raising the necessary funds.—New York Sun. Being Agreeable It requires tact and judgment, as we all know, to decide when it is best to talk and when to listen. In the presence of men and women of superior talents and accomplishments, or of wide experience of the world, we must be wary and not let our vanity run away with us. To such persons we may not be able to afford intellectual stimulus, and therefore it will be well to avoid giving our opinions at length, unless these are called fcr. With men and women of small talent and accomplishment we must also be on our guard, lest they find us didactic and wearisome. It is with our intellectual equals, or with persons of a generous disposition who like to draw out the talents of others, that we feel the greatest freedom and attain the happiest results.—Harper's Bazar. Late Comers "The practice of coming to the theater late is now observed in America to a greater extent than it ever was in Europe," says the Berliner Tageblatt, "especially in those circles where the theater is only an excuse for the display of costly costumes and jewels, which become more conspicuous when the wearer comes late. The abuse has increased to such an extent that first acts are usually lost." The writer then tells that the city council of Cleveland has passed an ordinance compelling the "managers of theaters to pay $100 fine for every person allowed to enter the auditorium after a performance has begun," and adds that this laudable resolution on the part of the city fathers of Cleveland will hear good results, but wonders whether an American director will give offense to his public, even when supported by the law.—New York Sun.

The main establishment is the Queen Anne house, which is on a site said to be unsurpassed for beauty by any other building east of the Rockies. It contains seventy rooms, and adjoining it are a group of cottages, each fitted up sumptuously and fully as desirable for the accommodation of overflow parties as the main house itself. The barn, so-called, is an enormous structure and much more luxuriously equipped than many comfortable homes. New York Press. Fashionable Millinery. No one can say with positiveness what the season will do in the way of developing new twists to women's apparel, but in millinery, at present all the indications point to loose straws; soft, crushable effects in braided straws, with their opposites, of very fine and costly ones. They will come in (principally so far as new shades are considered) magenta, which will rise in shade almost to a crushed raspberry; in blues, from a "raven's-wing" tone to a pale gray-blue, and include many of the Egyptian shades which have been seen within the last weeks on the Riviera and in Paris. Fabric hats will be strongly represented, but in odd materials. - Very few lingeries, and many printed gauzes. Whether these will go in America immediately is, of course, a question. Later, they will. The immediate styles of fabric hats show wide brims, turned up at one side, flat and fastened with a feather pompon (ostrich or a made disk) covered with shot moire. This is the newest of the moire fabrics. It is stretched on; or a model here and there shows a finely pleated brim, the pleats running either upward from the under brim, or circular, when the material, of course, is cut. Velvet-faced and color-faced brims, will be the note, and quantities of black hats will be seen in tulle, in nets and in chiffon.-Harner's Bazaar. If the theory of the interchange of visiting cards is once understood, a woman need not puzzle about how she should acknowledge invitations to receptions, teas, weddings, or wedding receptions, wedding announcements of any other kind, such as births or deaths. All of these are engraved and are written in the third person. Here again is another fundamental rule of polite society:—An invitation is always to be answered in the same form in which it is sent. Consequently a card is to be acknowledged by a card; a note by a note; a formal invitation in the third person requires the third person in the return answer. A woman who will bear in mind to answer in similar form will never make an error in responding. To return to cards. On the basis of the second rule just propounded a card of any sort is to be acknowledged by a card. Therefore wedding announcements and others take a visiting card from those receiving notices. Now, the rule on which all visiting cards are sent or given at the door is this: Each person in the house, who is in society, is entitled to a card, providing the person calling is acquainted with all the members. If she is not, her card is left for those she does know. A part of this rule is that a woman does not leave her card for a man, as, according to etiquette, women do not call upon men. This is the reason why one married woman, calling upon another who is married, leaves one of her own and two of her husband's pasteboardes. The woman only calls upon the other woman, but the man calls upon the woman and the other man. An unmarried woman calling upon a married woman leaves only one card, for she, of course, does not call upon the woman's husband. But a man calls upon a married woman, any sons she possesses who are grown and whom he knows, upon the grown daughters, whether or not he has met them. Perhaps any doubt of the number of cards to be left by a woman is disbelieved. If she remembers that she leaves one of each of hers for each woman of the family, and her husband leaves a card for each woman and man. This is the rule for an afternoon call or for teas. An afternoon reception is nothing more than an announcement that the hostess will be in that afternoon to see her friends. It is taken for granted that any of the hostess' daughters who are old enough to be in society will assist, and whoever calls leaves cards for the whole family, even though the husband's name does not appear on the "at home" card. In acknowledging wedding announcements, cards are sent to those who make the announcements, but not to those whose marriage has just taken place. The bride and bridegroom are not to have cards unless they have sent "at homes," and then one either calls or sends cards through the mail. Cards in response to an announcement, if made by a mother and father, should number two of the man's and one of the woman's, and are addressed to the Mr. and Mrs. who make the announcement. If a single woman makes the announcement only one of the man's cards is required with that of his wife's. When a single man sends the wedding notice a married woman returns her card with that of her husband's, for it is the most formal way of saying "thank you," for the courtesy of being, remembered.—Rosanna Schuyler in the New York Telegram. Fashion Notes. As regard material and colors black reigns supreme. Small hats are predicted, but none are yet in sight. Nothing masculine is now fashionable in the feminine outfit. Rather new are the sailor collars found on long separate coats. There has been some abatement in the use of buttons on dresses. There is an ever-increasing tendency toward the skirt that is draped. Street suits are to continue much as they have been in general design. Net is a material in great favor with Frenchwomen for tea gowns. Fine grasses and big vivid-colored wheat groups are used on the new hats. Maillots or tights are modish made of Jersey or of silk or woolen woven goods. Figured swisses are in vogue again. Many evening costumes are built on tea gown lines. The turban worn by young women is a much larger, unfair, than that intended for more elderly ones. Sometimes the foundation of the gown matches the net. Agalg a colored net will be draped over black or white. The big, slender, old-fashioned bugle has come back to us again and is seen in white, black and amber, employed for embroidering the plain brussels net trimming, exactly as was worn many years ago. The new trimmings are almost barbaric in their brilliancy of coloring. All and every kind of metallic effects, head embroideries and gorgeous pasementeries are to be used upon evening gowns for the coming season. = 7 = nas wee ease eee ass ° - THE St andl hospitable hand to their guests| d ing ar sf : <= = a ¥ - during toe cont cand ir guests|day.

This act proves their chris- tian feeling. The convention re- deemed itself somewhat by voting a thousand dollars in order to give Booker T. Washington a life mem- bership. A Kentucky colonel par- ticipated in the raising of this fund. , {ris pleasing to note the tight that the Atlanta Constitution and afew other state journals are making against lawlessness in the state, especially the carrying of concealed weapons. -They all agree that crimes in the state drives away capitol and settlers. Well, Georgia is only reaping what its lawless element has been sowing in lynching and otherwise mistreating colored people within its boarders. The lawless whites have become so imbued with the idea of crimes until they are now taking out their spleen on_each other. But a hearty sentiment should be raised all over the State against crimes of all kind. As soon as this be-done and so under- stood Georgia’s wealth and popu- lation would be notably increased. EO ge ee ea ee ne er a Ree resentatives held memorial service: in honor of the late Congressmar Griggs of this state. The member from this district, Chas. G Ed. wards, delivered one of the eulo- gies. From the printed report of his address we glean that the Con- gressman in an uncalled for man- ner spoke disparagingly of a part ‘of our respectable citizens. Speaking of some kindness that the late Congressman paid him he said: “‘shortly after my election to the Sixtieth Congress a committee of insolent Negroes in an insulting way demanded of me a private conference, which I declined.” ‘This is the part of our representa- tive’s eulogy to which we offer ob- jection The fact in the case is simply this: A committee was was appointed from the Letter Carriers Association to confer with Congressman Edwards concerning the bill pending before Congress to reimburse them for services ren- dered. The committee senta po- lite letter to the Congressman ask- ing for the conference. The com- mittee ofcourse was composed of colored carriers, the oldest in the service and respected by- every- body. The curt reply of the Con- gressman was that he would not confer with Negroes, and after- ward intimated that if a commit- tee of white carriers was appoint- ed he would meet them, It can- not be proven that the carriers’ re- quest for the conference was in- sulting, nor can it be proven that they were ever insolent in their manner; In fact at the time a num- ber of the leading white citizens attested to their courteous demean- or and respectability. But our Congressman cares naught for these things, all that he wanted was to “make a point.” But in his language in the same eulogy we assertthat “Right prevails always, but not until great injury -has been done” Yes and in this case right will prevail, and we hope that the Congressman will live long enough and become sufficiently matured to understand it, ‘For God rule: and He never forsakes His own.’ Aftermath. Delight, gratification, bliss, ec- stasy express mildly, so they say, the state of enjoyment to the members of the State Medical Association of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists at their 17th annual in Savannah, the beautiful city by the sea. It is better to give than toreceive. The local committee have nothing but thanks and praise for their hosts, the part participants took and the citizens in general for their loyal support in- extending the cordial pected this was the most success-| full of all-the previous meetings. The sessions wereallwell attended. If the first publi¢ meeting was an overwhelming’ success at, First A. B. Chants it would be hard to say Which of the two was the more so, that at St Philips Monu- mental Church Wednesday night, or the first meeting at Franklin Square. ‘The first night was indeed ostentatious but the second was ho less enthusiastic. Regular session was called toor- der by Dr. G, N. Stoney the pres- ident. Song “All hajl the power of Jesus name” by cohvention; Dr. Loring B. Palmer presiding at the organ, prayer by Rey. R. H. Single ton, and the conrention was declar- ed opened for business. Minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. Dr. F. Il. Slater Secro- tary. Tho history: of the Associa- tion by the historian Dr. Hr R. Butler was interesting in detail. The anniv address by Dr, G. N. Stoney was delivered in that peculiarly becoming way as_ is befitting only Dr. Stoney. Setting forth the accomplishments seen in the retrospect and the achieve- ments that will be strenuously sought in the future by all branches of the profession. Dr. Corwin’s paper wasone whici: delt originally with the subject in hand and dis- cussed at length. Dr ITowels paper was sent but on account of press for time was not read. Dr. R. C. Wil- liams’ paper was defered to the Wednesday night public meeting on account of his abseqnce. Dr. S. H. Williams was also absent. A very acceptable and original paper on treatment of pneumonia which was given high place among all was read by Dr W. H. Harris, Athens, common consent noted his, paper 2 useful creation, Dr. L, B. Palmer was unique and brand new, demonstrating useful land- marks‘in the diagnosis and _treat- ment of hook” worm not a new disease but 2 new thesis in patho- logy. ‘The convention hell an ad- jotirned-session at State College, where they were served an_appe- tizing lurch by Prof. R. R. Wright and the faculty. The principal speaker of the_session was Dr. G. D. Hubbard; Dean of the Meharry Medical College, Nashville, subject, X, Ray and Radiam. During this session Dr. J. Walter Williams presented two cases in the same family of tabes medulery spinalis, hereditary. These cases were interesting, pres- enting character symptoms of this disease. ‘The shortness of time hindered this se~sion the execut- tion of a part of the program. - Thursday morning session was opened at St. Philip church, West Broad St. Invocation, Rev. S. ‘T. Redd, etc. Dr. 5. 5. Johnson's paper was interesting and diseuss- ed at length. Dr. Bodies’ paper was read and discussed by Dr. J. B. Strous. Dr. Turner’s paper which was on for this time had been read the previous session at ‘the State College. Dr. W. C. Blackman’s paper on report of ori- ginal cases of Charity Hospital was extremely interesting and was dis- cussed generally. Pellagra, a very obscure and dsngerous disease with which Dr. T. 11. Slater dealt, was masterful and enjoyed by all, and was a classic. The election of ollicers consum- ed the last half hour of the session andthe following ofllcers were elected for the ensuing year: Dr. J. Walter Williums, Sayannah, Pres.; Dr. W. H.

GARDEN, FARM and CROPS SUGGESTIONS FOR THE UP-TO-DATE AGRICULTURIST Do not attempt to save your own seeds unless you have used every precaution necessary to prevent cross-fertilization. Plants often mix without the knowledge of the grower. A melon, it is claimed, may be fertilized by a pumpkin, and, though the fruit of this season may be apparently genuine, yet the seed of such, if used the next season, may cause a failure of the crop or destroy the quality. Ideal Live Stock Food. The value of palatability and succu- lency in the character of live stock foods are well illustrated by the domi- estic animal grazing the pastures. The cow cannot thrive on dry feed as the horse does. Of course ideal and balanced food for cattle is bluegrass pasture, but for a large part of the year green pasture is not available. The best substitutes to furnish this succulent feed during this period are root crops and corn silage. Corn yields about twice as much dry matter per acre as do root crops. As root crops require much more labor, silage is by far the most economical for those where corn cannot be grown.—Indiana Farmer. A Question for the Farmer. Mr. Farmer: Sit up and look at what has happened you! You are boycotted! What on? Your hogs, your cattle, your butter and your eggs. Who by? By the Government's Grandpapa, the millionaire; by the government itself; by the press; by the cities; by the unions and I dare say by the churches and the ministers! Who of you ever knew of the farmers attempting to boycott the above classes when they (the farmer) was receiving only 45c or 50c for wheat, 23-4c or 3 for hogs, 2c to 4c for cattle, 3c to 10c for butter, and from 5c to 10c for eggs, all of which prices were below the cost of production from one-third to one-half? Furthermore, who of you ever heard of the President asking congress to investigate "what was the matter with the people that they didn't eat more and make prices better for the farmers?" Who of you ever knew of a Federal grand jury to investigate the manufactories to see why they sold fertilizers. Give your farm a much needed rest from cultivation and you will be benefited by it. Arrange to swap work with your neighbor for such as you haven't got and this will give those manufacturers a rest and time to attend the ball parks, theaters and other places of amusement without going on Sunday. Then listen and hear what the next cry will be. J. T. Polson, in the Indian Farmer. Breeding Profitable Hens. It is a well-known fact that there are some hens as well as some cows that are not paying well for the feed they consume. It is the star boarder of cows that are bills of expense above what they return in milk or butter that should be weeded out of the dairy herds. It is the hens that begin to lay late in the season and lay only a short period of time and only partially pay for what they eat that one should get rid of and breed a class of hens that have the inherent characteristic of laying while young and continuing to do so for a long time both in winter and summer. In breeding chicks on the farm the system of selecting the eggs for hatching is likely to be faulty. The early laying pullets generally begin to lay their first course of eggs before the eggs are saved for hatching. Then when the eggs are selected they come from the late-laying pullets and hens. It will be seen that in many cases the characteristics of the short-period hens are being bred along instead of those of the long-period hens. This may be the factor that decides whether the flock of hens kept are bred to pay well or do not pay well. Careful poultry breeders consider this point and devise means by which the eggs set are gathered from the best-laying pullets. One point should be kept in mind: There should be as much or more attention paid to the individual characteristics of the hens as there is to the breed. One hen of a breed may be a good producer and another of the same breed be a poor producer and an unprofitable servant. When we select eggs from the poor layer we are breeding in the wrong direction. I have a case that illustrates the importance of securing eggs from the long-period hens. Last September, I instructed a young man who had an incubator to secure for me some eggs from a pure-bred White Leghorn flock. I felt sure that the short-period hens would not be laying then. The eggs were hatched and I came into possession of them in a short time. Those poullets were given a good chance, both as to feed and comfortable quarters. By the middle of the winter they began to lay, an dhaven be persistent workers since, making good returns for their feed. I have known of instances where poullets that were of good laying strains would lay from in the fall on through the winter, even when the conditions --- were not ideal. The pullets having an equally good chance would_not begin to lay_until_up to_or past the middle of the winter. It is the persistent layers that yield the profits worth noticing. Select the eggs for hatching from them.-Indianapolis News. Feeding Calves. A bulletin gives the results of calf feeding at the Cornell, New York station that will be found interesting to those who are raising calves in the dairy herds: The feeds compared were skimmilk, skimmilk powder, and three commercial calf meals. The calves were fed all the dry grain they would eat up clean. This grain was a mixture, made up as follows: 5 pounds of corn and oats, ground half and half by weight, 3 pounds of wheat bran and 1 pound of oil meal. The cost of the mixture was $29.55 per ton. A mixed hay with a good percentage of clover was kept before the calves at all times. It was found that a tablespoonful of soluble blood meal mixed with each feed kept the bowels of the calves in good condition at a small expense. Only one of the commercial calf meals used gave satisfactory results from the standpoint of cost, and even that gave an average cost per pound of gain of 8 to 9 cents. The results for the two years are summarized in part as follows: 1. It is evident from the results of these experiments and those elsewhere, that good, strong, healthy calves can be raised without skimmed milk or milk of any kind after the first thirty days. 2. Skimmed milk, hay, and grain make the best substitute for whole milk in raising calves. A calf fed on skimmed milk should reach a weight of 300 pounds at five months of age, and the gain should be made at the rate of 11-2 pounds per day, at a cost of less than 5 cents per pound. 3. If skimmed milk is not at hand, the best substitute for it seems to be third-grade dried skimmed milk powder. The average gains made in this experiment were not so large as with the skimmed milk, but were good. A calf fed on this food should reach a weight of 250 to 260 pounds at five months of age, making an average gain of 1.25 pounds per day at a cost of less than 6 1-2 cents per pound. Professor Dean, of the Ontario Agricultural College, tried a decoction of cocoa shells as substitute for skimmed milk and obtained satisfactory results; 0.25 pound of the cocoa shells was boiled in 2 gallons of water and 1.5 to 2 gallons of the decoction were fed daily together with some grain and green feed. While the galns were not as large as with skimmilk, the conclusion was drawn that this decoction "appears to be a very good substitute for skimmilk and is worthy of a trial by those farmers who wish to wear calves and have little or no skimmilk to feed." The subject of artificial feeds for calves has been and still is being studied by many foreign investigators. Cod-liver oil has been fed successfully as a substitute for the butter fat taken out by the separator, according to reports of Scotch and Irish' experiments; it was fed at the rate of 2 ounces to 10 pounds of separator milk. It was found that the calves fed this combination did not gain quite as much as those fed whole milk up to the time of weaning, but after that the oil-fed calves made greater gains than the others. The cost of the combination ration was about half that of whole milk. Notes. No crop in an orchard should be planted so near the trees as to rob them of moisture. Hand-picking and spraying with Bordeaux is required to get rid of rose bugs on grapes. Hogs need comfortable quarters in cold weather more than horses, and cattle, because their hair is coarser and thinner. The price of good milk, cream or butter is not always calculated in dollars and cents. Economical and sanitary ways of handling must be considered. The number of sheep in the United States is decreasing, while the consumption of mutton is increasing, and as a result we find sheep commanding a high price. The sooner farmers recognize the fact that poultry raising should be as carefully and thoroughly conducted as the dairy business, the quicker a good many dollars will be added to the family, income. The man who sells his eggs at the country store will not for the present receive very much encouragement to produce strictly high grade eggs. Try some good, reliable commission firm in some large city and let your grocery man rest. A dict of whole corn will help the hens with plenty of heat to resist cold weather, but the trouble is, most farmers feed to much corn. A half ration of corn is a great plenty, and if cracked before feeding will cause the hen, to take plenty of exercise. MANY USES OF SUGAR MAPLE - Blessed above all other trees of the American woodland, the sugar maple is now beginning to yield the most delicious sweet that nature knows. Even the honeycomb can not compare with the golden syrup made from the sap of the sugar- or-rock-maple, the acer saccharum of the scientists. But this is not all. The tree makes the best of lumber, yielding a marvelous rich, curled grained wood, which can not be surpassed for cabinet making. Indeed, in Roman times curly maple lumber obtained from the slopes of the Alps was of priceless value. One of the Ptolemya had a table made of this wood, scarcely three feet in diameter for which he paid the equivalent of $60,000, which is undoubtedly the record price in history for a wood table. Invaluable as a shade tree, the sugar maples set out years ago by the farsighted farmers and others, are today of inestimable value, not alone as shade, but for the production of the delicious sweet, and finally, for lumber for various purposes. A great many species of maple are found in the forests of the American continent, but only the silver maple and the rock or sugar maple need concern one now, since they are the only ones which yield a sap of sufficient saccharine quality to make sugar. All through the Northern partion of the country these, trees are found and where they are growing more or less maple sugar is made. The sap is obtained by boring a hole about three-fourths of an inch in diameter into the tree perhaps an inch and a half deep. This is through the bark and into the white or sap wood, which surrounds the heart. In that sap wood circulates the sap which is boiled into syrup. The peculiarities which govern the circulation of the sap must be understood to obtain the most liberal returns. For instance, the bucket must be hung on the south of east side of the tree. It should be hung preferably on one of those swellings which extend up the side of the tree from the roots. In those swellings the sap seems to circulate most freely and the returns will be greater. Then, too, the sap will not run excepting after a freeze or before a rain, or just before a light snow. Hence a light snow in the spring is called a sugar snow in the appearance of the sugar maker. The sap itself is a clear, crystalline liquid, bearing only a small proportion of saccharine matter, yielding a few ounces of dry sugar to the gallon of sap. But because of its peculiar flavor, the like of which does not exist elsewhere in nature, almost any expense is resorted to in procuring it, and the value after the sugar is made is frequently whatever* the seller chooses to ask. The sap is collected in large tanks or holders prepared for the purpose, conveyed to the boiling house, where it is run into an evaporator and boiled until it becomes the consistency of syrup, weighing ten or eleven pounds to the gallon. Then it is run into cans which are hermetically sealed and it is ready for the market. These cans are usually of tin, are square and hold a gallon. If the syrup is boiled sufficiently it will grain and become sugar, which sells for various prices, depending upon its color. The lighter the color the higher the price. Some states are noted for their maple sugar. For example, it is a regular business in Vermont in spring and fully 20,000,000 pounds are produced annually, which is shipped to all parts of the country. It is probable that the bulk of this product goes to those who have been at one time residents of Vermont and have acquired a taste for the sugar which comes from the trees growing upon those rocky hillsides. Wherever the Vermonter goes there the sugar made in his native state follows him, and the dealers are benefited accordingly. Of course, others buy maple sugar, but it has been said by those who have investigated the subject that the buy of the business is with former Vermonters, and inasmuch as they are scattered all over the country the increased trade here and there has an obvious source. Adulterations has crept in and in some cities more maple sugar is sold or so-called Vermont maple sugar, than is made in Vermont in a year. The pure food law has checked this to some extent but there is undoubtedly much sold still which never came from a maple tree. In the old days, the golden days of yore to which the middle-aged and the venerable are always referring, the sap was boiled in an open pan placed upon a brick or stone arch. The fierce boiling made music and the clouds of steam rising like the clouds of a summer sunset, floated away and disappeared in the clear spring air. The woods were redolent with the return of spring and squirrels, and early spring birds were the sugar makers' companions. In the long nights of watching there were visits from owls which dashed into the fire sometimes blinded by its light. Then, in the morning, there was the gathering or the sap which had accumulated through the night and a score of other features which were pleasant, even though the work was hard. It was a portion of the farm work in which all could take part, the oldest as well as the youngest, and each felt some responsibility for the successful result. Then there was the sugaring off, the bolling down 'down' the syrup, until it grained into sugar. Once 'squre' twice each season a party was made and the --- neighbors were invited. 'And there were games; and other amusements to make bright the evening hours. Many a troth has been plighted at such a gathering, and many a hopeful future outlined. Ah, well, as the returning spring brings back the sugar and the syrup from the maple one's thoughts wander back through the years and see a low, red farmhouse, with all its hurry and bustle. Again there is the bolling place in the huge grove under the hill and the voices which shall ever more be silent. Only two are left of a large family who gathered there years ago. The rest are sleeping where the returning spring interests them not and the memories of the happy hours which passed then will anuse them no more. —Newark Call.

Two martin houses located in Waynesboro were taken-possession of by a colony of English sparrows last fall when the martins vacated them for their winter sojourn in the sunny South. The martins returned on Saturday last and engaged in a pitched battle for possession of their former nesting place. Although the martins were outnumbered they made up the deficiency in aviolrupois, and this made the fight all the more interesting. The conflict not only waxed warm in body blows but the noose made was almost defending themselves and attracted many persons in the neighborhood to the scene of trouble. The martins won out in the contention and regained possession of their homes—Philadelphia Record. P Whistler's Friendships. That Whistler, the man of famous enemies, had faithful friends, is renalled by Ford Madox Hueffer, writing of the Pre-Raphaelites, in Harper's Magazine. Madox Brown had a circular printed drawing the attention of all his old patrons to the merits of Whistler's etchings, and begging them in the most urgent terms to make purchases because Whistler was in indigent circumstances. The story is that upon one occasion Madox Brown, going to a tea-party at the Whistlers' in Chelsea, was met in the hall by Mrs. Whistler, who begged him to go to the poulterer's and purchase a pound of butter. The bread was cut, but there was nothing to put upon it. There was no money in the house, the poulterer had cut off his credit, and Mrs. Whistler said she "dared not send her husband, for he would certainly punch the tradesman's head." Secretary Meyer's idea of using oil instead of coal fuel on battle ships * * * would probably raise the steaming radius, give more room aboard ship, reduce crews, cut off smoke, and save time. Many of the big new freighters, arrives the Boston Record, are using oil as fuel, and the battle ships are being equipped with auxiliary oil burning apparatus. It would not take much to establish it as a final fuel. One of the most unfriendly acts is to tell your troubles to a friend.

What a Swiss Gatekeeper Received ¢ for Preventing a Wreck. During the heavy rains and floods in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud at the end of last January a Swiss railway gatekeeper at level crossing named Allaman, hearing an unusual hissing sound walked along the Mines, having a presentment that there was something wrong. He found that a stream flowing from tho Jura Mountains into Lake Geneva hhad become a torrent, and overflow- ing its banks had swept away about thirty yards of the permanent way, leaving the rails suspended in the alr. As the Geueva-Lausanne express traveling at sixty miles an hour was due in a few minutes and would be precipitated Into the torrent with its sixty’ passengers Allaman ran to his little house for a red flag and stop- Ped the express Atty yatds from the suspended rails and then returned chome pleased with the’ fact that he thad prevented a terrible aécident. ‘Some days ago the news of the af- fair arrived at the Bern headquar- ters of the Federal Railway Company ‘and the Swiss managers thought that such an act on the part of a gate &eeper should be rewarded. | Allaman received his reivard re- cently for saving the express and ‘Ste sixty travelers from destruction. .The reward was 83. which works ‘out at 1%d. a life The Swiss press {s indignant at ‘the ridiculous reward for a great service, and ‘several papers state that if the accident had occurred the Federal Railway Company would have been obliged to pay between ££8,000 and £10,000 damages—Gen- ‘eva correspondence London Chron- iste.

A Tame Gull. Vincent S. Stevens, in ‘the Christian Advocate, says that birds do not be- come tame nearly so readily as most other animals, and then relates the story of an exception which hé n0- ticed when living In the coast country. Looking over my neighbor's fence one day, I was surprised to see om his door-step these queer companions, a beautiful white ‘sea-gull and “ny neighbor's ‘ret cat, sitting quictly to- gether. | Becoming interested, I jumped the fence, and asked ‘Jones about his feathered pet. He told me that some boys had shot the gull a few days be- fore and broken its wing, and as they were passing his house he noticed the poor suffering thing and bought it. He bandaged the broken wing, and the gull, seem{ng to” understand his kind intentipn, ‘became quite tame and nestled its pretty head ‘against his hand. Jones entertained me by showing how the gull usually took its meats. Bringing a plate of dysters and a fork he called, “Goosey, goosey, gonsey!”, and the bird came running to him. Then he held out an oyster on the fork, and the gull selzed It quickly with Its yellow bill and ate it as de- murely as if oysters had been served to it in this way all its days. _ The oddest thing occurred one day when my neighbor gave the gull some small pieces of meat for dinner. He placed the meat on the ground near the gull, but fhe gull, espying a pan of water near by, took the meat piece by piece, and walking over, dropred it into the water. Then, true to its na- ture, it began fishing for its dinner, It is my’ neighbor's Intention, as soon as the gull’s broken wing is healed,"to take it bagk to Its native ocean béach and leave It there to re- join its wild companions. .

ASSERTS NO CITY CAN BE "CLOSED." Mayor Whitlock, in Remarkable Letter, Discusses Law Enforcement—He Answers Church Inquiry About Laws. Toledo, Ohio—Contending that practically all crime is the result of involuntary poverty and that the enforcement of laws not backed up by public sentiment is little short of impossible, Mayor Brand Whitlock, in a letter to several representatives of the Federation of Churches, defends his administration in this city. He asserts that no city can be really "closed up." Although the Mayor's defense is in epistolary form, it is in reality an elaborate essay in which the history of human institutions has been traced to earliest days and for which has been assimilated the wisdom of Cato, Demosthenes, Kant, Jeremy, Bentham, Savigny, Blackstone, Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Dean Howells. and indifferent, whose wishes are crystallized in what is called public sentiment. "Crusades" against violators of unpopular laws have always failed, says Toledo's Mayor. In proof of this he cites as one historical example in the United States the operations of the "underground railroad" before the Civil War, by means of which and in defiance of the fugitive slave law thousands of bondmen were smuggled from the South to Canada by anti-slavery workers, to whom principle formed a higher law than mere statutory enactment. In his letter Mr. Whitlock speaks sadly of the women of the streets, pointing out that the problem is as old as humanity, as old as sin. "They Mayor Whitlock tells why he believes the poor people are driven by economic pressure to "shatter to bits everywhere the little minor laws, restricting their enjoyments on Sundays;" he tells why "women are driven on to the street and into dives;" he tells why "gambling in saloons will always persist while bridge whist parties flourish in other quarters," and while stock gambling, too, "is practiced so brazenly everywhere on the country;" he tells why people dared after a long week's work, "have a right to their entertainment at the theatre and at the ball game on Sunday," and he even tells why saloons are permitted to operate on Sunday, quietly and behind curtains, so as not to offend those otherwise inclined. He asks what he is to do with the women on the streets, and answers his own question with two more—are they to be driven into the brothel or into the river, or out of this town into another, or will the good people who want them chastened and driven out and punished take them into their own homes, or actually do something to help them? Mayor Whitlock seemingly is satisfied that there women will not reform or go to work unless society, which condemns them, is willing to help them. He asks what right Toledo has to foist its bad people on its sister cities. Enforcement of those laws dealing with acts that are wrong merely because prohibited and which do not offend the universal conscience, Mr. Whitlock says, involves disorder—even riot—and begets bitter hatreds. Gambling will go on in saloons and other resorts, he asserts, while bridge whist is permitted in society. There will be drinking over bars as long as wine is served in the homes of the rich. There will be Sunday baseball and other forms of outdoor sport as long as those who assail them most bitterly themselves demand and conflate at such violation of Sunday labor and other laws that serve their own selfish purposes. Unfortunate women will flock the streets' of the cities, the Mayor believes, as long as they are barred from honest means of livelihood—in fact, as long as women are kept in a state of economic dependence upon man. Hits "City Slanderers." Among the most evil forces in a city Mayor Whitlock place the "cowardly and indiscriminate" slanders of a city's good name. "He asserts that in Toledo certain classes which have feared the loss of unjust privileges have tried to darken the issue by charging that the city was "wide open" and that vice here was on the increase. This is denied in almost the same breath in which it is asserted that neither this city nor any other, on this side of the millennium, ever will attain the purity and excellence the academic reformers demand. "A Mayor is not a beadle, nor a public mentor, nor a censor of the morals, acts and opinions of others," says Mr. Whitlock. "Nor is he to constitute himself a spy and go peeping and prying about violations of the law." The administration is not for the best people alone, he says, nor for the wisest, but for good, bad He is Charged With Stealing, Columbus, Ohio. In making the arrest of Wilmer Pratt, a painter, on a charge of horse stealing, the police discovered, that he had used hair dye to color, the white spots on the horses he acquired a golden brown—and thus disguised, the animals. The, horse Pratt had when arrested he got from a local liverman two weeks ago and had since been driving, it about the city with impunity, while its owner and the police authorities were searching for it. and indifferent, whose wishes are crystallized in what is called public sentiment. "Crusades" against violators of unpopular laws have always failed, says Toledo's Mayor. In proof of this he cites as one historical example in the United States the operations of the "underground railroad" before the Civil War, by means of which and in defiance of the fugitive slave law thousands of bondmen were smuggled from the South to Canada by anti-slavery workers, to whom principle formed a higher law than mere statutory enactment. In his letter Mr. Whitlock speaks sadly of the women of the streets, pointing out that the problem is as old as humanity, as old as sin. "They cannot be driven into the river," he says, "or put to death at least any, faster than society itself drives them into the river and puts them to death." As to the prevalence of gambling, the Mayor says: "Gambling, which is just one expression of the spirit of speculation that is rife in our land, is not a vice of those who live off the labor of others, those who are engaged in productive toll. It is indulged in rather by those who do not earn money, but merely gather or appropriate, often by the subtle processes of the law, the money that has been earned by others. Gambling is essentially a vice of the Idle. "This spirit leads a certain few to imagine that government is made for them and their personal interest, and that it should give them the privilege to exploit the labor of the many—to take from them what they produce. It expresses itself in speculative operations in stocks and bonds, and in grain and produce, just as it expresses itself in the gambling that goes on in the clubs, in private homes, at the whist table, at the poker table and on the Stock Exchange. "All of these forms of gambling are abhorrent to me as they are to you, and I am tryling as best I can to do away with them all by seeing to it that the law shall cease giving privileges to the few in the way of franchises for street railways, gas companies, electric light companies, exorbitant tariffs, exemptions and the like. These processes represent gambling on an immense and sinister scale, and are far more dangerous than any other kind." Attacks the Pharisee. In closing his letter, Mr. Whittock says: "What I am trying to make clear is that a statute cannot be fully enforced in a community where the public sentiment is opposed to it and that where it is attempted to enforce it there oftentimes results more evil than good, more harm than benefit, and that all kinds of disorders and difficulties are brought upon us by that attempt. 'Law and order' is a fine phrase, beloved by the pharisee; law and order indeed are loving sisters who present a beautiful spectacle of harmony, but statute and order are not always synonymous, nor indeed compatible. The law in any community is the will of that community, and according to my reason and conscience and my principles I deem it my duty to be guided by the will of the people whom I represent." Members of the Church Federation who signed the communication to which the Mayor's letter was a reply say they have learned much-as to the history, theory and purposes of law. Actors' Fair Opened. President Tail opened the Actors' Fund Fair in New York City and then went to Passalc, N. J., where he spoke at the Board of Trade dinner, outlining the legislation he expects Congress to pass.

Durden.) Once within an ancient city Lived a family of three: A mother, father and their daughter, And they were happy as could be. There they lived in sweet contentment, Till that girl left her childhood day; Her companions were not good ones, So she left home and went her way. Oh! the anguish of that mother, No one but a mother knows, Who has had an erring daughter That has caused her many woes. But this mother's heart was earnest, She a spotless Christian dear, And she prayed her heart's desire Earnestly, without fear. Every day she brought down blessing Upon that little cottage there; Comfort to the gray-haired father, Who had loved his daughter, dear. She would pray and never falter, Knowing God would hear her prayer And they would some day be answered Then her darling would appear. She had faith and God would hear her When she went to bed at night, Her door was left unguarded And the light left burning bright Lest her darling should come home- ward, As she felt she would some day— Caused, she asked, our Heavenly Fa- ther To lead her back the narrow way. And she prayed. That dear old moth- er Left the door unlocked each night, Hoping that her wicked daughter Would come home and do the right. One day to that very city Came sisters of the faith to build A hall to save girls from destruction And wanted the hall with pictures filled. Pictures of dear salted Christians— This mother placed hers on the wall: And prayed to God to send her daughter To this dedicated hall. This precious mother's prayer was answered; Her daughter went into this hall. And found her dear old mother's picture, With others placed upon the wall. And as she stood and gazed upon it, Her heart grew full—her eyes grew dim. With tears. That erring daughter Fell on her knees and prayed to Him. And then that mother's prayer was answered; The girl arose and went back home. She tried to ask of them forgiveness But they were too glad she's come. She told how she had prayed and waited And left the door unlocked at nights: Who guided that erring child to right. Among the Masons. The Masons of Sayannah were proud to have Grand Master Butler with them last week. They never fire doing him honor. Only about two more weeks before the Grand Lodge meets. It is expected that each lodge in the jurisdiction will be represented. There will be laggards in everything, and unfortunately we have a number of laggard lodges, many of them having obeyed the Grand Lodge edicts fully. Now, there is no reason whatever for the failure of these lodges in not reporting on time. Their annual report should have been rendered since May first. Yet it is now May 28th. There is no place in Masonry for laggards. The members of these lodges should not tolerate lazy officers. If they are not able on willing to render these required reports on time, they should step down and out, and give other willing ones a chance. It is an honorable thing to be a Mason. Our brothers should appreciate this fact, and endeavor to act well their parts. The Grand Master speaks appreciatively of the donations thus far being made for the rebuilding of the Home. All of the lodges should readily respond, and as many of the brethren as are able should do likewise. The brethren should not allow the sisters of the Eastern Star to be more loyal to the Home than they are. Already several of the Eastern Star Chapters have contributed more money than some of the lodges have. "Grand Matron Mrs. Hart has a let- ter appealing to the Chapters to respond to the aid of the Home. It is hoped that each chapter that has not done so will liberally respond by sending the amount to Grand Master H. R. Brûler, 184 Auburn avenue, Atlanta, Ga. Breath of Masonic Life: The breath of Masonic life is felt in every part of Christendom, and its magnetic existence proves a gentle but all-constraining bond, which causes us to forget all else for the present, and to think only of the good we may do each other, in making the weak strong and the strong just; to encourage the intellectual culture, and to promote the moral which enriches the individual man—David G. Chase, P. G. M., Idaho. The writer asked a certain Mason the other day why his lodge had turned down its Senior Warden at the last election, and was told that the brother in question was so profane that the lodge felt that he was not the proper person to be elevated to the mastership. This certainly is a healthy, sign and indicates a moral stride in the right direction. It goes to prove that the time is coming when men who occupy responsible places in the work of Masonry will have to be a little more circumspect in their habits. There is no greater reflection on our ancient craft than the promiscuous use of profanity on the part of those who acknowledge the square and compass. The whole system of reverence for the one true God. A candidate no more than crosses the threshold of Masonry than upon bended knee he acknowledges his reverence for God. How inconsistent then, to leave the lodge room and immediately pour forth a flood of profanity shocking to all men of refined sensibilities. But the remedy lies in the hands of the lodges themselves by refusing to elevate any profane Mason to office.—Ex. To the Eastern Star Chapter. Americus, Ga., May 19, 1310. Dear Sisters: Some days ago an appeal from Grand Master Butler came to me for aid from the sisters for the Widows' and Orphans' Home. You are aware of the great disaster to the Home by lightning. I at once wrote Brother Johnson, R. G. P., and he issued a call for help. Now, I have just received a communication from G. M. Butler, with the list of Chapters who have responded, and the amount given. I was indeed glad to see the list of loyal Chapters that responded. All the Chapters have not donated to this cause. It cannot be that you doubt the statement of the great misfortune to the Home, for it cannot be misrepresented. We are glad no lives were lost, while great damage was done to the home. Dear sisters, a little aid from each of you would soon help to recover the great loss. Now, I have said why other Chapters have not donated is, they have not received our plea for help, or they have not had a meeting. Let each Chapter do something for the Home; it is ours, and we must help bear the burden of sorrow. I hope, in the next few days, I will receive a communication from the Grand Master that 113 Chapters have come to the rescue. Not one chapter can feel they are truly adopted and fail to come to the rescue of the noble Masons who have done more than any order for their orphans and widows.

I will not say anything of my trip there, except that I was very seasick all of the time. Life on board was pretty dull until we came in sight of land; then things began to come to life on board. The mall was taken off, the health officers inspected the boat and we all were busy fixing our trunks until the boat landed. Then our trunks were inspected by the customs officers. After that we drove to our hotel, in which we had our first full meal since we left New York. At noon we went for a twenty-five mile drive across the country to a small city called St. George. On our way we stopped at the "Devil's Hole," a hole of unknown depth, filled with water, in which hundreds of fish were swimming around. Fish of all kinds and colors can be seen. One kind while eating, turns black. The woods are lined with beautiful red flowers called oleanders. About 4 o'clock we arrived at St. George. It is an odd little city. The streets are only wide enough for one wagon to pass through. The houses are one story high. About seven-eighths of all the population of St. George are negroes. The next day we visited a large lighthouse: It is said to be the second highest in the world. From the top of it we could see all over the islands. Among the other places of interest that we visited were the Angel's Grotto, the aquarium and the reefs, where we went out in glass-bottom boats, through which we looked at the fish and coral formations at the bottom of the ocean. We had many other trips, but I will have to stop here, as I am making this a long journey. Maybe some readers would be interested in hearing that I saw the comet from the deck of the Bermudian on my way home.-William F. Savale in the New York Tribune. The Frogs' New Home. "As the spring came along Mr. and Mrs. Frog decided to move into a new home," said Ethel's father one night. "I have been thinking over this matter of moving for quite a long time," said Mrs. Frog"to her husband one morning. It seems to me that this house is very crowded and kind of cooped up. Let's see if we cannot get a house where we will have plenty of cold water running all the time, and that will have nice damp floors and damp walls. Besides, those boys of ours" are getting big enough-to have each of them a room for himself. "I should say so," said Mr. Frog. "That boy Jill of ours has quite a good deal of taste, and I know that if he has a room of his, own he will fix it up nicely with some leaves around the walls, and maybe he will paint a picture or two on the ceiling. I saw him the other day drawing a butterfly with a little stick in the mud. It was great." "That's nothing," said Mrs. Frog. "I saw Jack making a little butterfly out of the sand so that it looked almost ready to fly." "We certainly have bright children," said Mrs. Frog, wiping his forehead and cleaning his glasses with his handkerchief. "What day do you think we ought to move." "I guess tomorrow will do, his good wife replied. "I wonder why we couldn't get Mr. Treetoad to help us. He is very strong and perhaps he can get some of the furniture down a good deal easier than I could." "That's all right," said Mrs. Mrog, "but for goodness sake make him keep that boy Willie of his at home." "I think we had better not tell our boys we are going to move tomorrow, as they might get up to some mischief." "All right," said her husband. "Just, as you say. I will put on my hat and coat and go and see about this moving business."—Farmer Smith in the New York Globe. The Horsehair Snake. The spring had come and the Boy was very, very happy. Once more the birds sang and the green fields beckoned and the bright flowing streams tempted him away from dusty books and the close-shut house. How good it was to go out and find live things again, and to hear all the funny stories and secrets Father had to tell about them. "What do you say to a trip to The Bronx, Boy?" said Father one morning when spring sunshine and the very thought of woods made you feel like skipping. "O dad, that'll be great!" said Boy, with a whoop of delight. So to The Bronx they all went. After they had made the rounds of the bear cages and the lion house and looked at the small mammals and the deer, it was lunch time by the clock and by the sun, and they were more than ready for jit. On the high, rocky bank of the Bronx River they found a comfortable place to camp down for sandwiches and devilled eggs, and, lunch over, they wandered down by the river, idly hoping to find something new and interesting. Suddenly the Boy pointed excitedly out toward the water. "I say, dad, what's that?" Father looked, and then he, too, grew a bit excited. "Boy, there's just the specimen I want! Hurry! Bring me the water net!" Boy opened the bag and adjusted the long handle to the coarse cloth net used for bagging water life. Father reached out over the stream and brought in a queer little beetle which had been floating along jazily on the surface of the water, with what appeared to be a long hair hanging from his side. "Herc, Boy," he said, "is something I want you to look at, for it is a rare eight to see in nature. Just what is happening to this beetle now you can read about in the books, but to see it, Boy—that is much better, and really a rare treat." "But, dad, what is it? I see only a little bug with a hair stuck to him." "Yes, Boy, but this 'hair,' as you call it, is really a horsehair snake, just coming out of the body of this beetle in which he has been sleeping for a long time. Did you ever near people say that if you put a horsehair in the water and left it for a certain length of time it would turn into a snake?" "If I did," said the Boy, whose scientific training makes him a bit sketical. "I shouldn't believe it." "Well," answered his Father, "the real way it happens is this: The snake lays its eggs on a blade of grass and then the grass is eaten by a grasshopper or a beetle and the egg, finds a snug, warm little nest in the body of the bug. The egg develops into a baby horsehair snake and, then bursts through the body wall of the beetle, just as this fellow is doing here. The snake's coming out does not bother the beetle at all. They part company with no ill feeling on either side, and the little snake goes on his way to lay more eggs to be hatched in the same way again." "Whatever put it into people's heads about horsehairs, anyway?" asked the Boy. "Well, some one put horsehairs into water and after a time came back and found these tiny, threadlike snakes, and jumped to the conclusion that the hairs had turned into snakes. But the real story of the horsehair snake is much more wonderful than this ancient tale. "I am going to keep this fine specimen just as he is. We'll put these chaps in the poison bottle and let them go to sleep just as they are; and then we'll take their picture." This was done, and in the picture you could plainly see the snake coming out of the beetle's body.—Helen, Schoonhoven in the New York Tribune. The origin of the egg plant is India, that of the broad bean is unknown, as also that of the lentil, the pea, cheek pea, and haricot. The last named appears to have come originally.
