The MONUMENT TO EX-SLAVES PROPOSED BY VETERANS Confederate Veterans to Honor Former Slaves. GENERAL GORDON ISSUES ORDER Commander-in-Chief of U. C. V. Issues An Appeal to Erect a Memorial to Ex-Slaves As An Evidence of Appreciation. New Orleans.—An appeal to erect a monument to the former slaves of the South was issued here from the headquarters of the United Confederate Veterans by Gen. George W. Gordon, commander-in-chief, of the veterans. The appeal is in the form of a general order, which quotes the resolutions favoring such a monument adopted at the Birmingham reunion in 1908, and adds: "Only those familiar with the beautiful patriarchal life on the Southern plantations previous to 1865 knew of the devotion of the slaves to their owners and the children of the family. They were raised more like members of a large household. The children of the owners and of the slaves associated most intimately together, and enjoyed alike the pleasure of the home, all receiving the care and attention of the heads of the family, who had a feeling of tender affection for those dependents." The devotion of those shaves during wartime in caring for the plantations, in sharing dangers at the front and nursing the wounded is noted, and the order concludes with an appeal to the U. C. V., the U. D. C., the U. S. C. V. and the C. S. M. A. to see "that some evidence is given to the world of their appreciation of the faithfulness and affection of this devoted people." GRAND TRUNK STRIKE ENDS. Railroad Employees Return to Work at an Adjance in Wages. Ottawa, Ontario.—The strike of the conductors, trahmens and yardmen, which began on the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont system, on July 18, was officially called off. Under the terms of the agreement signed by President Hays for the railrigs and all the union officials, the men will receive, dating back to May 1, of this year, an advance of approximately 18 per cent, and beginning January 1, 1912, a rate of wages slightly below the eastern association schedule, for-which they struck, but an advance in many instances of over 30 per cent. Much credit for the successful outcome of the peace negotiations is given to W. T. Mackenzie King, the minister of labor, who has persisted in his efforts to bring the men together, despite discouraging setbacks. In the case of the Central Vermont, the same settlement applies. BABY BOUNCING TABOOED. No More Shall Babies Ride in Laps of Fond Parents. New Orleans.-The bouncing of babies on the knees of fond parents may be tabooed in view of pathologic discoveries, according to Dr. S. W. Stafford, surgeon of the Charity hospital at New Orleans. This statement was made in connection with reports that interior polomyelitis, a newly-discovered infant malady, commonly known as infantile paralysis, is causing many dexhs. Several such cases are now being treated in local hospitals. Doctor-Stafford said that an injury to the spinal cord was most likely to result in the allment and that the "bouncing" of babies could very easily produce such an injury. Water Spout Strike Sullivan's Island Charleston, S. C.—A big water spout developing into a sand spout, upon striking the beach, swept down Sullivan's Island, frightening hundreds of women and children, but doing no greater damage than to wreck settees and rain sand upon cottages. Before its collapse it covered a distance of about a mile on the beach. Government Cotton Report Washington. The report of the Department of Agriculture places the average,condition of cotton as of July 25 at 75.5 per cent. of the normal as compared, with 80.7 on June 25, 1910, and 71.9 per cent. on July 25, 1909, and 83 per cent. on July 25, 1908, and 75 per cent. on July 25, 1907. Japanese Poacher-Seized. Washington.—The seizure of another Japanese schooner, poaching in the Bering sea, was reported to the Treasury Department by Captain Foley of the revenue cutter Tahoma, which is guarding sealing fields in that section. ANENT LEE'S STATUE. President Taft Approves Attorney General Wickersham's Opinion. Beverly, Mass.—President Taft has approved, without comment, an opinion by Attorney General Wickersham to the effect that there is no provision of law by which the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in Confederate uniform, can be removed from Statuary hall in the capitol; at Washington. In addition to declining the question on a purely legal basis, Mr. Wickersham urges the matter from the ethical point of view, declaring that Lee has come to be regarded as typifying all that was best in the cause to which he gave his services and the most loyal and unmurmuring acceptance of the complete overthrow of that cause. That the state of Virginia should designate him for that place in Statuary hall as on illustrious for distinguished military service, the Attorney General declares, is only natural and would be under the reading of the law. Mr. Wickersham's opinion was called forth by protests to the President from the Department of New York, Grand Army of the Republic Washington—Mississippi may send the statue of Jefferson Davis to represent her in the Statuary hall of the capitol, under the ruling which Attorney General Wickersham has just rendered in reference to the Lee statue from Virginia. General Lee's statue is in the full uniform of a Confederate general. It occupies a place close to the statue of Gen. George Washington, and it has called forth bitter protests from veterans of the Northern armies in the Civil war, especially from various members and posts of the Grand Army of the Republic. Corporal Tanner admitted that the way is open for Mississippi to send the statue of the president of the Confederacy to the capitol, and, under the law it cannot be barred out. TAR AND FEATHER BEE. Pennsylvania Men Use Tar and Feathers on Two Young Women. Vandergrift, Pa.—The police are investigating a tar and feather bee in which two young women were driven from Vandergrift several nights ago. Stripped of their clothing, bound, painted with varnish and then stoned from town by a band of masked men and youths, e women sugered terrible agony before they were able to find shelter. One of them is said to have been the cause of a shooting a few months ago, and the other was the friend of a young man who committed suicide. The young women were intercepted on a lonely road between this town and Apollo. Two acquaintances lured them on to the ambush where the band of-assailants was waiting. Suddenly surrounded, they were-escorted into the woods and tied to trees, their screams for help and appeals for mercy having no effect. Brace Biots in Texas. Palestine, Texas.—At least eighteen negroes were killed in a racial clash in the extreme eastern section of Anderson county, the culmination of an enmity between the races brewing for several weeks. Several reasons are assigned as the cause for the racial feeling. First, the refusal of a negro to pay an obligation for which a white farmer stood sponsor. This was some days ago. Later, a white man received notice that he should perform road work under the supervision of a negro. The white man refused. Girl's Alleged Slayer Caught. San Francisco—Joseph A. Wendling, accused of the murder of little Alma Kellner in Louisville, Ky., the man whose twisting and turnings have baffled the police for four months, was arrested by Detectives Burke and Ryan of the local police department. Wendling admitted his identity, but protested his innocence of the crime. A few hours after the arrest, Captain of Detectives J. P. Carney of Louisville arrived to learn that his 11,000-mile search for Wendling has been crowned with success. Charbon Kills Woman. Estherwood, La.—One of the few instances where charbon has attacked a human being is reported from Vermillion parish. Mrs. Robert LeGlance died from the effects of the disease, which had been transmitted by the bite of a fly that had fed on the carcass of a cow killed by charbon. Bottle of Vitriol Given Children Bottle or Wrist Gunmen Philadelphia—Two children were killed, two others critically injured and seven more are terribly burned as the result of the upsetting of a truck loaded with carboys of vitriol on which they were riding. The driver of the truck and eight other men who helped to resdue the children from the fiery fluid are suffering from severe burns. Mover is Re-Elected. Denver, Col-Charles H. Moyer was re-elected president of the Western Federation of Miners by a large majority, and it was voted to hold the next convention at Butte, Mont. Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVER TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA. SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1910. FARMERS ARE THE PREY OF THE MIDDLEMEN Member of Country Life Commission Gives His Views. EVILS SHOULD BE CORRECTED Law Is Demanded to Check Alleged Rapacity of the Men Between the Farmer and the Consumer. Sangerfield, N. Y.—"The whole people are beginning to feel that something must be done to make country life as progressive, effective and permanently satisfying as city life. We cannot be a great people if one-half of our society is more highly developed than the other half." Thus declared Professor L. H. Bailey, of the country life commission, appointed by President Roosevelt shortly before the expiration of his term, in an address before the Sangerfield Country club here. Professor Bailey outlined the program which he thought should be followed in obtaining the desired end. "The so-called country life movement is a slowly forming opinion that something, really fundamental must be done to put rural society where it belongs," continued Professor Bailey. "To make farming profitable is no longer a question merely of raising more produce. We have passed that point. We now have knowledge and experience enough to enable us greatly to increase our yields, if only we put the knowledge into practice. "But the farmer, speaking broadly, does not get his share of the proceeds of his labor, notwithstanding the increase in the price of farm products." After stating that he recognized the service of the middleman to society, although he said there is hardship and injustice to the producer in much of the present system, the speaker declared that we are under obligation as public men to see that these discriminations are removed. "The middleman question," he continued, "cannot be solved by any combination of farmers, because it is not an agricultural question. It is as as much a problem for consumers as for producers. But the abuses must be checked and the middleman must be brought under some means of control." Professor Bailey then declared that "it is just as much the business of the government to protect its people from the rapacity of dishonest and tyrannous middlemen as from other abuses." The speaker then declared "the present agitation ought to compel Congress to pass a law to correct the evils and the organizations then should keep such touch on the situation that the laws will be enforced. "But the enactment of a law, even a good law, is only another step in the solution. There are three steps in the control of the middleman: (1) An aroused public conscience on the question; (2) a good fundamental law for interstate phases and similar state laws for local phases; (3) good commissions or other bodies to which any-producer or any consumer or any midditman may take 'his case.' STANDARDIZATION SYSTEM. Supplying Exchanges With Cotton Samples Will Soon Begin. Washington.—The system of standardization of cotton devised by the Department of Agriculture probably will be in very general operation in all cotton exchanges by September 1. The bureau of plant industry of the department, which daily is sending out sets of samples of various grades of cotton that have been selected as standards, expects that before the end of the present month the exchanges will be supplied sufficiently to permit transactions to be made upon the basis of the proposed standards. While there is no legal power for the enforcement, of these new standards on the cotton exchanges, so many approving reports of the system have been received that it is believed there will be no opposition to making the system universal. Governor Patterson Assaulted. Winchester, Tenn.—Governor Patterson was assaulted here and so badly injured he was unable to deliver his scheduled speech. It is claimed that the two men who assaulted the governor were his friends and supporters and that they were just giving him a warm welcome. Governor Patterson was grasped from behind when he alighted from a train. One man threw his arms around Governor Patterson's neck, while the second death aim a blow in the back, which knocked the breath out of him. He was unable to deliver his scheduled speech here. CONDITION OF COTTON. Deterioration in Texas and Oklahoma. But Improvement Elsewhere. But improvement elsewhere. Memphis, Tenn.—The Commercial- Appeal publishes this summary of the cotton crop situation. The cotton crop deteriorated during the week in Texas and Oklahoma by reason of drought, but improved elsewhere on an absence of rain. The situation in Texas and Oklahoma is fast becoming serious, some shedding being reported in the driest places. Temperatures were very high at most times, which makes the lack of moisture more acute. A good rain immediately would help the crop wonderfully, but its growth and fruiting have already been harvested. The fields east of the Mississippi rivers are now nearly clean, and the cotton will be "laid by" in a fairly good state of cultivation. The process of cleaning some of them has, however, been severe, and the plant has not yet recuperated and drouth continued for long will work great injury. Reports are irregular. There are some that are indifferent, and some that are exceedingly poor. The plant is generally small, and is now beginning to bloom freely and make bolls. Without a late autumn reports indicate a very moderate out-turn in the valley and Atlantic states. Montgomery, Ala—Dry weather has been the salvation of the Alabama cotton crop. However, prospects are not as bright as they were several weeks ago, and the consensus of opinion points to a crop 75 per cent of normal, if weather conditions remain favorable. Much of the abandoned land has been claimed from the grass. Reports of the condition of the stalk and-fruit vary, although many of them say both are small. In most sections the crop will be three weeks late. AVIATOR KILLED. From Great Height Nicholas Kinet Tumbled to Death. Brussels, Belgium—Falling from a great height, Nicholas Kinet, the Belgian aviator, was instantly killed. Only three weeks ago his cousin, Daniel, one of the best known foreign aeronauts, was killed in a similar manner at Ghent. Nicholas Kinet was flying at a height of about 650 feet when he was caught in a squall. A rear wire of his biplane snapped and becoming entangled in the motor, stopped the engine with a sadness that turned the aeroplane on its side. The machine crashed to the ground and Kinet was crushed under it. CRIPPEN AND GIRL CAUGHT. Physician Wanted on Suspicion of Having Murdered His Wife. Father Point, Quebec.—Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen and Ethel Clare Leneve, his stenographer, who fled from London, after the disappearance of Belle Elmore, the doctor's wife, were arrested here aboard the Canadian Pacific Inner Montrose, at the command of Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard. The identification of the long-sought fugitives on board the fog-shrouded steamer by the English detective, who had raced across the Atlantic ahead of the Montrose, marked the culmination of one of the most sensational fights in recent criminal annals. Georgians to Aid Revolutionists. New Orleans.—It was learned here that a tender of services had been made by two or more officers of the National Guard of Georgia to President Madrid of Nicaragua. This profer is said to have come from Fleming Reid of Brunswick, Ga., a lieutenant of militia, who offers his services and those of at least one other officer of the Georgia troops Jans Leaving United States. Chicago.-K. Yamasaki, Japanese consul in Chicago, made public a statement prepared by Hatsuso Nagai, acting consul general of Japan at San Francisco, showing that for the last two and a half years Japanese have been returning from the United States to their own country in greater numbers than they have been coming. John G. Carlisle Dead. New York 'City'-John G. Carlisle, former secretary of the treasury, who had been critically ill for the past week died at his apartments in New York of heart failure, accompa Cotton Loses in Condition. New York City—The Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin says: Advices from 1,825 special correspondents of average date, July 25, made the percentage condition 74.9, against 81.8 a month ago, a decline of 6.9 points. This compares with 73.1 per cent in 1909, with 83.6 per cent in 1908, with 75.5 per cent in 1907, and 81.7 in 1906. According to the reports of this paper, the ten-year average is 78.6 per cent. With the exception of Texas, and Oklahoma the cause of deterioration in all states has been almost exclusively due to excessive rainfall. Blind Senator From Oklahoma Could Not Be Bought. Indians of Oklahoma Were to Be Deprived of $3,000,000 Profits Due Them for Muskogee, Okla.—Investigation of charges made in the United States senate by Senator T. P. Gore that he and a member of the house of representatives each had been offered a bribe of $25,000 to foster a scheme whereby the Indians of Oklahoma were to be deprived of $3,000,000 profits due them through the sale of asphalt lands in this state, began here. Senator Gore said: "I will tell the full details of the scheme hatched at Washington to mult the些 Indians out of $3,000,000 through the sale of their lands. I will give names, dates and other circumstances relative to the bribe of $25,000, offered to me and to a member of the house of representatives to remove our opposition to the scheme which would throw that vast sum of money into the hands of private attorneys." The committee was appointed by the house of representatives to investigate what are known as the McMurray contracts with the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes of Indians. It is, headed by Chairman Charles H. Burke of South Dakota. INSURGENTS WIN IN KANSAS. Stand-Patters Elected Two Candidates—Iowa is Progressive. Topeka, Kan.—Six insurgents and two Stand-patters were nominated as candidates for Congress at the Republican state primary, Governor W. R. Stubbs, the Progressive candidate for renomination, defeated Thomas Wagstaff, a Conservative, by a majority of 27.372. Mackinac Island, Mich.—Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, received the news of the victory at a local summer resort. When asked for any comments on the situation he replied: "I have nothing to say in regard to the Kansas primaries until the complete returns are before me. However, I should like to remark that primaries were also held in Missouri and Oklahoma." DesMoines, Iowa. — Republican Iowa wrote herself vigorously progressive at a convention, which was in an uproar most of the time. Senators Gummins and Doliver and the Insurgent delegation at Washington were enthusiastically indorsed. The new tariff law was branded as a failure in the light of the party pledge of 1908. President Taft received only a lukewarm endorsement. FIRST GEORGIA BALE. Grown by M. A. Ralney, a Baker County Farmer. Albany, Ga.-The first bale of Georgia cotton of the season was marketed here. It was grown by M. A. Mc. Ralney of Elmodel, Baker county, one of the most prosperous farmers in southwest Georgia. The new bale welghed 412 pounds and was classified as middling. It was sold through C. B. Tyler to the Georgia Cotton company of this city and brought 30 cents. It was expressed to Savannah and auctioned. The first bale for this year is seven days later than last year. For eight years Deal Jackson; the Dougherty county negro, had marketed the first bale of cotton. He not only fails this year, but the distinction goes to Baker county. New Southern Railway. Montgomery, Ala.-With the purpose to build a railroad from Scranton, Miss., to Birmingham, Demopolis and Scranton Railroad company was incorporated by the Secretary of State. Its capital is nominal, the promoters belong for the most part citizens of Demopolis, Ala. Clearing House in Each State. Washington.-A central clearing house in each state for the purpose of settling all matters connected with the payment of interest and the care of accounts, is a feature of the portal savings bank system, adopted by the committee of officials that will make recommendations to the board of trustees. Chile's President Comes for Visit. New York City—The thunder of guns from Fort Wadsworth proclaimed the arrival in port of President Montit- of the Republic of Chile, on board the royal mail liner Tagus from Colon.

A better opportunity was never offered to visit our national capital. If you are interested in this, writo C. D. Wayne, A. G. P. A., Atlanta, Ga., who will be glad to make such Pullman reservations as wanted. USING ELECTION CARS Southern Railway Now Operating an Electric-Motor-Car Service. Greenville, S. C.-Electric-motor-car service, without the use of trolley wires or the third-rail attachment, is now being given on the line of the Southern railway and the Blue Ridge railway, between Greenville and Anderson, the intermediate territory being, perhaps, the most thickly settled milling section in the South, including the important points-Pledmont, Pelzer, Williamston and Belton. Only one motor car is now operated and two round trips a day are made. Though a large number of stops are made, the car has no trouble in making the schedule time. The car now in use is the property of the General-Electric company, and will be used until two cars being built by that company especially for the Southern railway are delivered. The new cars will provide seats for 57 passengers. The car is run by electricity generated by a gasoline engine. The powerful machinery is compactly placed in the forward end. It is easily manipulated and the car is handled with perfect ease. The greatest interest is felt throughout this section in the motor car, and it is crowded every trip. The first day it was greeted by great crowds at every station. At one place a citizen was so anxious to get a view that he left the barber's chair, running to the station with his face covered with lather. The new service is in addition to the steam trains run between Greenville and Anderson, and is expected to prove a great convenience. The operation of these cars, the first of their kind in the South, will be watched with great interest. CIVIL WAR RELIC. Navy Department Gets Original Log Book of Famous Monitor. Washington.—The original log book of the famous Monitor, covering the period of her engagement with the Confederate ironclad Merrimac in Hampton roads on March 9, 1862, has been given to the Navy Department to be preserved among its historic records. The restoration of the log to the department was due to Capt. Louis Stoder of the United States revenue cutter service now living at Brooklyn, N. Y., and an officer on the Monitor during her entire service. For years he has treasured the log among his most valuable possessions, but as old age has crept over him he desired to see it placed where its preservation might be insured. Hence it was that he forwarded it to the library of the Navy Department. The entries cover dates from February 26 to September 11, 1862, and tell of the little "cheese box on a raft," foundering off Cape Hatteras December 31, 1862, when Stodder was acting master of her engagements at the Confederate batteries at Sewells' Point, Hampton Roads and at Fort Darling, in James river, WHAT IS WHITLOOF? Whitloft is now found in the Buffalo (and probably other cities) markets about as freely as asparagus. It is the blanched shoot or compact leaf stalks of chicory. I grew these shoots in a box-like place under a greenhouse bench during the winter and early spring a year ago, and we greatly enjoyed it as a substitute for asparagus. Properly cooked it makes a delicious dish. It can also be grown in open ground for fall and early winter use, in which case it is carved up for blanching like celery. And why not grow it thus? It gives variation in the bill of fare, and a wholesome dish. Try a packet of seed, and sow it like carrots, making calculations, however, for sufficient space in latter part of the season for earthling up. Every large, seed house offers chicory-seed lat 5 cents a packet. Farm and fireside.

HUGHES. Chinook winds down, the gulches came singing soft and low. "White flowers of the North Wind, 'tis time for you to go!" And lover-wise he wooed them with many a breath and sigh. Said man, the fire-builder, "Chinook is passing by." Down many a misty canon the sunbeams danced their way; Before them slink the shadows, behind them swept the day, And past the orient colorings of trees decept and scar. The young Chinook came singing the life-down of the years. By many a stream torrential, down gulch and canon hurled. The white flowers went to bourgeon the tides that sweep the world; Up to the smoke mesas the coyote climbed to see The sickle of the new moon of the year yet to be. Beneath the soil frost-girdled the windflower, sleeping, stirred; The mighty cry of living its sentient heart had heard; And through the bunch-grass creeping, came shyly, one by one, The children of the earth-mold—the flowers of the sun. Came teal, and gray goose honking adown the sloping wind; The wild-rice lakes before them, a thousand miles behind. Far through the misty mornings to the fire-builder's house With breath of sod that quickens came the booming of the grouse. So came the anc ent summer—the summer ever new— To the gulches, and the mesas, and the fire-builders few Who laughed within their houses—O little race of men! "Chinook is blowing softly; the summer comes again." JOHN WAKELYN'S WIFE. Mr. Courtenay Pile alighted from the train at the small station at Littleton March, his handsome face wearing a somewhat troubled expression. He passed through the booking-office and found an open trap of the type usually to be hired at village inn, awaitting his orders. He had wired for it because his visit was unexpected by those who might have seen that he had a more comfortable reception. It was a mild February day, with a suggestion of spring in the gentle air, soft clouds chasing one another across the dappled sky. The roads were soft and muddy, and Mr. Pile looked critically at the somewhat sorry old crock between the shafts of the village fly and ruefully shook his head. "How much for the lot, Simon? and how long before we get hauled up to March Manor?" "Matter o' 'arf an hour, sir," replied Simon, without blinking an eye. "There's more go in that there old crock than you think." Mr. Pile swung himself up beside the driver, drew the emaciated rug gingerly over his well-cut trousers, and the old crock, laying his ears well back, set off in a weird amble that was half gallop and half trot. "They be gittin' on, sir, up to the Manor," said the driver, inclined for a little friendly talk. "Every day the walls gits a little bit 'igher, so to speak. It'll look tip-top when it's done." "Is it approved in these parts, then?" inquired Mr. Pile with some interest. "Oh, yes, sir; they says there won't be anything to touch the new 'ouse in this part o' the country." "That's good, Simon, and as it should be," remarked Mr. Pile, and relapsed into silence as they began to ascend the road to the downs, which dipped again to the sheltered valley in which the new Manor house of March was being erected for an absentee. They reached it under thirty minutes, and long before they turned in at the avenue gates the red pile of the masonry was visible between the spaces of the leafless trees. "You can let me down here, Simon, and go round by the back way to the stables," said Mr. Pile when they were well within the gates; "and I require you to wait there for me. I want to get back to Littleton in time for the three-ten." The trap stopped. Mr. Pile alighted, and at once cut across the mark in a slanting direction towards the house. Once only he stopped to draw a letter from his pocket and read it through. It was almost unnecessary, because he had already made himself master of the contents, which had angered him greatly. "Confounded cheek on Wakelyn's part—confounded!" he repeated, drawing out the word with emphasis; "but he's a clinking good servant, and we can't afford to dismiss him at this point. It would create suspicion, which is what we must avoid." When he reached the new building, which was being erected on the site of the old one, consumed a few months before by one of the most disastrous fires of the century, all the signs of a big undertaking being carried merrily through to its legitimate finish, met his eye. Cranes were at work, to assist the bricklayers, great piles of dry mortar and stacks of bricks covered the short sward, seeming to destroy for a moment the fine old turf in the immediate vicinity; the air was filled with the din of labor being heartily pursued. A man-high up on the gable wall caught sight of Mr. Pile approaching, and immediately began to descend to the ground. He was a big, slow man, with a somewhat inscrutable face, careless of his dress, but never slovenly; a man whose expression and whole bearing suggested both power and determination. A brief greeting, rather curt on Pile's part, passed between the two men, and Wakelyn waited for his superior to speak further: "I came on account of the somewhat unusual letter I received from you yesterday, Wakelyn. I started to answer it this morning, but found it difficult; where can we talk? "In the little office; it is empty at the present. moment," answered Wakelyn imperturbably, and they turned together to the small wooden name singing soft and low, "tis time for you to go!" many a breath and sigh; ok is passing by." sheena danced their way; hind them swept the day; muttes decrept and sear the life-dawn of the years. gulch and canon hurled, on the tides that sweep the world; climbed to see summer yet to be. windflower, sleeping, stirred; it heart had heard; sing, came shyly, one by one, e flowers of the sun. ag adown the sloping wind; thousand miles behind. to the fire-builder's house creme the booming of the grouse.

It was quite comfortable within and warmed by a small stove which sent out a bright glow. Pile closed the door, and his face hardened as he looked straight at Wakelyn. "You exceeded your privilege, I think, this time, Wakelyn. I've stood, we've all stood, a good deal from you, but this is the limit. What have you to say for yourself?" "Nothing more than I put in my letter, sir. I can't stop here and see the work through on the present lines. I don't profess to be a saint, but the stuff that's being put into this house is the limit, if I may borrow your expression. It's dishonest, and all the more so that Lord Trammerne is not here himself to overlook it." "A fat lot of good he'd be if he were here. So it doesn't come up to specification?" "No, and you know it; when I complained, the Garrods have as good as told me they're within their rights, according to the orders they've received privately from you and Mr. Gladwyn. I won't be a party to it, that's all, and I'm quite ready to leave at the end of the week. In fact, I've so made up my mind." GAMBLE Gamblers, like lovers, are keep.

The only difference between a gambler and a lover is that the gambler usually knows beforehand the extent of the risk he is running. All men are gamblers.

But in the end all bluffs are called — Frozen Life. Mr. Courtenay Plie's face reddened very deeply. "So it's a very high hand you'll take, Wakelyn? Whence all this new-fangled delicacy of conscience? You've been in the building trade a good many years, and I suppose this isn't the first time you've seen things fall short of specifications. It's done every day; you know that." "I don't know it, but as I said, I won't be a party to it," replied Wakelyn, with the same quiet, imperturbable air, which had the effect of raising Mr. Plie's anger almost to a white heat. "There isn't anything so very bad; it won't affect the foundations of the house, nor its lasting qualities, idiot. You must know that." "There'll be trouble in about five years' time," was the reply. "But that isn't the point—my point at least. Lord Trammere is paying for something he's not getting, and because I know that I want to quit the job." "You're a fool to yourself, Wakelyn, if you do any such thing," said Pile sourly. "Where'll you get another job? A word from will go a long way, and we can't afford, as business is. In these days, to be so mealy-mouthed; nobody knows that better than you." "I can't help that," replied Wakelyn quietly. "My mind's made up." Then Mr. Courtenay Pile's admirable composure gave way, and he cursed his subordinate in no measured terms. It but made very little impression, and two hours later Pile had to return to town to report the ill success of his interview, and to look out for a successor to Wakelyn. The man who had faced a difficult situation for conscience's sake went about the rest of his day's work apparently undisturbed. He had counted the cost. That it was likely to be heavy he had never hidden from himself. Lucrative situations were not going begging, and he was now a middle-aged man; further, he had many heavy private obligations—a wife and family, including an invalid son. It was for the boy's sake he had done this. If Ted Wakelyn had ever been tempted to rebel against the destiny that kept him tied to a sick bed while others carried on the work of life, he might have been cheered had he known how mighty was the influence he wielded on all with whom he came in contact. When Wakelyn got back to his simple, hare quarters at the village inn that night, two letters waited for him, both from his home. He opened the boy's letter first, and when he read it a tender smile hovered about his lips, and something very like tears velled his eyes. It had nothing to do with the case that had been decided that day; it was merely, as Wakelyn expressed it later, a love-letter from the boy, who missed his father and his chum more than he had words to tell. It warmed Wakelyn's heart; but while he fingered the other one, he was conscious of a reluctance so great that he feared to break the seal. It was Lucy's answer, his wife's deliverance upon the contents of the letter he had sent to her early in the week. He had not asked any advice in that letter, only told her what was in his mind, and what he intended to do. How would she take it? He felt a little afraid. He slipped the letter into his pocket, unopened, went to wash the dust of the day's work from his face and hands, and then sat down to his solitary tea. He enjoyed it after a fashion, then, pushing his chair back, sat down on the old monk's bench by the fire. That done, he cut open the envelope of his wife's letter with great deliberation, and drew forth the written sheet within. He imagined at once that it was not long, because the outer page was quite blank. When he turned it to the other side, his face fushed a 'little' and his eye shone. It was a long time since Lucy had begun a letter to him in such endearing terms. She was undemonstrative, a woman of few words at all times. For once she had laid aside all her reserve. "Darling," it began. "Your letter is lying spread out before me as I write, and I have waited a whole day before answering it, so as to be quite sure of all I wished to say. The impulse was on me when it came to sit down at once and pour out all my heart; but Ted was not so well this morning, and other things I will tell you presently intervened. "I felt, so glad when I read your letter, John, that every other worry seemed to fade away. I just slipped up to our room and knelt down, and thanked God because He had made you so good and so strong. You have done right, quite right. I understand every word of what you wrote, and it was more than kind of you to take BOLERS. e known by the company they between a gambler and a lover knows beforehand the extent of Some gamble on the stock exe- n in immorality.

My faith in you is so great that I should never have. questioned your decision, whatever it had been. I understand all you say about the things that are done in business, but I am thankful beyond any words of mine to express that you will not lend yourself to these methods, and that you will suffer rather than lend your countenance to dishonest practices. I will suffer with you gladly, John, and be proud of it, and I am sure the children, if they were asked, would say the same. "But, happily, I think there will not be any need. Who do you think came to see me to-day but Uncle Edgar, from Bristol, without a word of warning, and he did not seem to mind a cold meat lunch! He was so nice, so different from any time I have ever seen him before, that I couldn't quite make it out. He is aging, too; I can't help thinking that God has spoken to his hard heart, and that he is beginning to realize some of the things he has missed in life. He was lovely to Ted, and brought him a great parcel of books, new books, from the Stores; think of Uncle Edgar being guilty of such extravagance! He asked very kindly about you, and he said I was beginning to look rather old and tired, and that I must take better care of myself, and couldn't we have a holiday together at Morecambe at Easter. "Finding him like this, and wanting desperately to tell somebody how proud and glad I was about you, I gave him your letter to read. He took a long time to read it, and blew his nose several times over it, and was a little gruff at the end. Then what do you think he said all of a sudden? "Your husband's a fool, Lucy, as the world counts folly, but I shouldn't wonder that he's chosen the better part. Tell him I said so, and if he comes home next week, as he seems to expect, out of a job, bring him to Bristol for the week-end, and we'll talk things over. I need somebody at my place I can trust, who won't buy and sell me the moment my back's turned. I could trust your John Wakelyn, so bring him down." Of course, I said I would. I hope your interview with your firm won't be very disagreeable, dear, but if it is, never mind. Come home. Never have you been so welcome as you will be this time to the happy and loving woman, who is not proud to sign herself, Your Wife." Wakelyn's lips twitched as he turned the sheet to read it all over again, and a joy filled his heart so great as to well-night overwhelm him. The part concerning Uncle Edgar did not greatly uplift him. It was the knowledge that he had his wife's sympathy and trust that filled and covered his whole horizon; nothing else mattered. There occurred in his memory, as he sat there in the silence, a passage he had read from Isaiah before he slept the night after the momentous letters had been written. "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." And again, "They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."—David Lyall, in British Weekly. The English-Cold Morning Bath ---A Snare and a Delusion. Says "a plain American" in the American Magazine: "Everyone knows about the tradition of the cold morning bath. All Englishmen mention the fact in a casual manner that they have one at least once each day, but I have wondered if they did not protest too much. How can anyone prove that they actually get into this aforesaid cold bath? That a two-hundred pound man can get into a zinc pan eighteen inches in diameter at the bottom, or prince about the great bilge keel which surrounds it, does not seem reasonable. "After getting out of a fairly warm bed many times, and trying to do acrobatic acts in tepid water with a damp atmosphere of about forty degrees, in a stone-walled room with the concentrated cold of four hundred or more long years hermetically sealed in a musty old castle, I decided to fake the cold bath, as I now believe all Englishmen do. "It's an easy game, and this is the way to do it. Jump from the bed and land, if possible, clear of the stone floor on any old rug or piece of carpet. Dress hurriedly and completely and draw a razor over your blue chop called a chin, stunch the blood with your own pocket handkerchief—don't use the bath towel; then drag the zinc bathtub to the centre of the floor, lay a bath towel or two spread out beside it, then throw the soap as hard as possible into the water six or seven times (this gives the effect of a natural English bath splash), slap the ends of another towel in the water, wet your hands (no matter if it does make 'em ache)—you must do this) and slap them on the towels to represent wet footprints. This done, you can look the world in the eye with a bright and shining morning face—the kind R. L. Stevenson refers to." WORDS OF WISDOM. 'All art is in its origin connected with religion.—Ulrici.

NATURE & SCIENCE Professor Arthus at a conference of the Society of National Sciences at Lausanne announced that people bitten by venomous snakes can be kept alive for eight or ten hours simply by subjecting them to artificial respiration. He urged that every one living in tropical regions should be compelled to learn how to carry out artificial respiration. The recent discovery of practical methods of converting crude cocoanut oil into a palatable and satisfactory vegetable butter has given great extension to this business in Germany. Seven companies are now crushing the copra and refining the oil for edible use. The importations of raw copra have more than doubled within three years. One, hundred thousand gallons of water sterilized by electrically-generated ozone are used daily by the Pittsburg Homeopathic Hospital. Dry air is passed through the ozonizers and the ozone produced is mixed with the water by means of aspirators. Three ozonizers are used for sterilizing water, while two provide ozone used for sterilizing instruments and bandages. —Scientific American. Uranium is found commercially in only two minerals in the United States, pitchblende and carnotite. Pitchblende, which is widely known because of its use as an ore of radium, occurs in quantity in the United States only in Gilpin County, Colorado, where there are four mines that produce it. Carnotite occurs as a yellow powder in sandstones in Utah and Colorado.—Scientific American. A French newspaper publishes some statistics showing the causes of death in the medical profession. The figures are impressive, but there is no indication as to the source of the information. We read that forty-four per cent. die of heart disease, twenty per cent. from nervous affections, twenty per cent. from the morphia habit and seven per cent. from tuberculosis. The prevalence of morphia is ascribed to the fact that a doctor knows when his malady is incurable, and morphia is sought to soothe the mind. Professor Ranke, some time ago, brought out a new fact concerning the brain of man as compared with that of other animals. It has long been known that the brain of a man does not weigh as much as that of a whale, or an elephant, and that there are birds and apes whose brains are heavier than man's in proportion to the weight of their bodies. But Professor Ranke showed that the way to reveal the actual superiority of the human brain is to compare its weight with that of the spinal cord. Measured in this way man's brain is proportionately far heavier than that of any of the lower animals,—Harper's Weekly. THE CIGARETTE IN SOCIETY. Young Folks Hunt Secluded Corners to Smoke, Not to Spoon. It is difficult to imagine what the next generation will be like if the craze for cigarette smoking goes on increasing at the present rate. Not only young men, but even young women seem to find it impossible to exist for more than an hour at the outside without having recourse to whatever is the correct brand of cigarette at the moment. Once or twice lately while the Lenten dance season has been at its height I have strolled into balls at an immense hostelry hard by where hostesses find it convenient to hire a fine suite of rooms and pay a check for something like £1000, when they could give a dance at home for a quarter of that sum. That, however, as Rudyard Kipling says, is another story. What I wish to remark upon is the craze for smoking which shows itself at these festivities by which young couples finding comfortable corners on staircases, in out-of-the-way rooms and balcones, not, not as one might expect, for purposes of flirtation, but that they may enjoy a cigarette together. And at the hotel in question, if one goes to the restaurant for supper at a private ball, say, at 1 a. m., a perfect cloud of smoke greets you as you enter, which very decidedly takes off from the flavor of the excellent viands that are provided. This is all bad enough, but as nothing compared to the seriousness of young men and women smoking cigarettes all day as well as all night, and rendering themselves, after a few years, nervous and neurotic; perfectly useless to themselves and everybody else. —From the Gentlewoman. The Medical Men. Physicians as a whole do not receive the credit they deserve in the popular mind for their disinterested work for mankind. We are too apt to look upon them as persons who come to us when we are sick and give us something to make us well again, or bandage our injuries when we have been hurt, and even operate upon us in an emergency, and then charge us a good price for it, when compared with the wages of an ordinary laborer—which price we are glad to pay, because we value our health and comfort above price.

A HOME of your own with pleasant surroundings is what our young men should strive. Matters not about the location, get the home. Every loyal colored man in the State resents the fight that a certain element of colored men in this State is waging against Col. Rucker of Atlanta. President Taft will not be misled by their pleadings. UNLESS there be a speedy change in the conducting of the affairs of the Odd-Fellows of this State an uprising worse than that of Alabama will be the result. Bossism will never be tolerated by the intelligent class, nor will this class be intimidated by being persecuted and prosecuted for alleged offenses, while those in charge commit any number of violations of the law and trampled upon the principles as laid down by the fathers of Odd-Fellowship. Friendship, Love and Truth have been cast to the winds in the administrating of affairs in this State. Bossism and the perpetuation of self in office have been raised as the standard. In its data about the establishing of a tuberculosis sanitarium in the county, the Chamber of Commerce brought this point out strongly: In this connection it is stated a great menace to the health of the South is the Negro population, among whom tuberculosis thrives to an appalling degree." It would be well for the members of the Chamber of Commerce along with other anti-tuberculosis advocates to study the cause of the prevalence of this disease among our people. We admit that many of us are careless in our manner of living and ignorant as to hygienic laws, but the main cause of the germinating of this disease in the city is the hundreds of unsanitary houses built by the real estate men solely as money getters. Those who are battling against this disease should advocate the passage of a city ordinance regulating the kind of houses to be erected for poor tenants, and preventing them from living in damp basement rooms, outhouses and over foul smelling horse stables. Our able health officer has called repeated attention to this serious condition of affairs in this city, and it is about time that something be done in order to somewhat thwart the increase of this dreaded disease. The blood thirsty element of the opposite race in the southern tier of states have been on a rampage recently. As usual they disregarded all laws, trampled order and decency under foot and put to death many colored persons. The crimes for which some of them were lynched, were indeed atrocious, and the guilty perpetrators have nothing but our severest condemnation. But be it as it may, our white friends have the machinery of the law in their hands, they should set an excellent example of respect for law and order by giving the accused a fair trial and deal with them accordingly. To prove that there is a blood thirsty element with no regard whatever for law or order, the murdering of fifteen or more colored men in Anderson County. Texas, last week is noted. The only reason given for this wholesale murdering was, first, the failure of a colored man to pay a debt for which a white man stood responsible; second, because a white man received notice to work the public road under a colored man; and third, the alleged report of the uprising of colored men against the whites. What simple reasons for the mightys laughter of innocent men, and yet our white friends are raising thousands of dollars for the sending of missionaries to heathern lands. Farmers Conference at Ft. Valley. The Ft. Valley High and Industrial School, Ft. Valley, Ga., will hold its annual Farmers Conference on August 4th. Prof. H. A. Hunt has secured the services of the ablest men in the country to address the farmers and every effort is being put forth to make the meeting beneficial and instructive for those who attend. A great gathering is expected, doubtless, surpassing those of previous years. St. James Dots. St. James Dots. On last Sunday each service was well attended.

Devotional services were conducted by Dr. B J Ross. "There is a land of pure delight" was sung, having prayer, the 24th Psalm was then read. The Union joined in singing "Just as I am without one plea." A rising vote of thanks was tendered the Rev. J S Jenkins for the welcome address delivered at Bethel A M E Church at the Sabbath School Convention of the West Savannah District. The Union deferred Dr. Ross' paper for the near future as other business was of vital importance. Sermonic report was taken up. Rev. M C Rogers gave a splendid sermon from the 23rd Psalm. The sermon was logical and well arranged. Friendly criticism and commendation were offered by Revs. G H Lennon, I T Griner, J S Jenkins, Dr. B J Ross and the chairman. Rev. Rogers replied and thanked the Union. The Union distributed letter heads to be used only by its members. Next Tuesday the Union will meet with the Interdenominational Union. F. B. H. Dots. On last Sunday night the church was packed and we heard an excellent sermon. Rev. Wright read for the lesson St. John 19:1-33. The subject of his sermon was "Insurance." He drew a beautiful picture of earthly and heavenly insurance. It was evident that the sermon was certainly enjoyed. The choir sang very sweetly 'The Saviour at the door.' "Rev. Wright led the hymn "Am I a soldier of the cross." He pleadingly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seal. Quite a number bowed and prayer was offered, in their behalf, Mrs. E R Denkins, Mrs. Lydia Arnold, Mrs. R Stevens and Miss B Foster made their reports as delegates to the Berean Association. Mrs. B Brown of Athens, Ga., was present and spoke of their school work at Athens. She made some very timely remarks to parents concerning their children especially the girls. You will be pleased to attend our services at any time. St. Philip Dots. Sunday was a busy day at St. Philip. At 11 a.m. Rev. J W Moultrie, a delegate at the Sunday School Convention of the West Savannah District of which St. Philip is a part and which session was held at Bethel A M E Church, preached. Rev. Moultrie is also one of the many ministers that have gone out and have made good in the ministry. His text was Exodus 20:3, subject "God's message to His people. At 3 p.m. the Sunday School delegate from St. Phillip made his report to the school. At 8 p.m a fine literary program was rendered and quite a number of well known musical talent took part. A vote of thanks was given to Mrs. L A Newton and all who participated to make the concert a success. St. Philip certainly had all the honors that could be expected and more too at the Sunday School convention as follows: The secret ship, the chorister, the organist and many others. She also carried all honors on literary papers that were read. The first prize went to Miss Haynes; second prize to Miss Virgie Wright and the third prize to Miss Nellie May Hart. The great event of the day was the contest between the grays and blues for educational purposes, in fact it was educational rally day. The grays were commanded by General J M Northington and the blues by Mrs. R H Singleton, of course the blues was composed by ladies and as usual they just put the grays to flight; they just tripped the amount raised by the grays. Mrs. Mary Jane Howard received the first prize as captain of the company raising the highest. $30.00. Mr. Joseph Powell received the prize for raising the highest amount by any captain on the gray's side which was $5.31. Mrs. R H Singleton as general of the blues received the first prize as the commanding general raising the highest amount which was blues $140.28, the amount raised by the grays was $57.35, table $40.69, making a total raised on Sunday night of $235.62 and more to come in later on. Our monthly love feast was held on Friday night. We note that Rev. J A Lindsey, D D, former pastor of St. Phillip has been removed to Memphis, soon, to one of the largest churches in Memphis in the diocese of Bishop Parks. The congregation at Augusta were sorry to loose him, but the Methodist preacher must always be prepared to move and preach. President Lee of Morris Brown College.

Own Your Own Home with a Garden and Chicken Yard, The death rate among the white people in Savannah is about fifteen per thousand. Among the colored people over twenty-five per thousand. The great mortality of the colored people is undoubtedly largely caused by the unsanitary surroundings in which they live. Crowded and hived in lanes and shanties, how can they prosper physically, mentally or morally? The hope of progress for the race lies in getting away from cramped, crowed, miasmatic depressing surroundings and into bright, cheerful, roomy and healthful homes. Give yourself a chance.

PAINE COLLEGE PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR 4 New York City.—Here is a dress which is perfectly simple and easy to make, yet which is given a dainty and attractive effect by the judicious use of trimming. In the illustration it is made of checked linen and is trimmed with ribbon, but any seasonable, material is appropriate for the dress, and if ribbon is not liked bands of insertion or contrasting ma- M terial could be arranged under the tabs and stitched into place; or the space under the tabs could be left plain. The ribbon, however, is designed to be tacked to position only and consequently can be removed quite easily when cleansing becomes necessary. The straight skirt is box pleated and the dress is so simple that it can be laundered with perfect ease and success. It is closed invisibly all the way down the back, so that it can be opened out flat if required. For cool days challis and cashmere will be pretty so made, with trimming portlons of silk, either plaid, cr of plain color. Among washable materials are to be remembered batistes and lawns, chambrays and the like, and also the lovely cotton volles that are so durable and so dainty. The dress consists of body portion and skirt. The body portion is made with front and backs that are tucked over the shoulders and again at the centre-back. The trimming is arranged over the neck edge and centre-front. The sleeves are simple one-piece full ones, finished with straight bands. The skirt is straight and box pleated. It can be made with full length closing or with regulation placket, as liked. The quantity of material required for the medium size (twelve years) is six and seven-eighth yards twenty- 4 Over Blouse—In aeroplane style, to be worn over any gulmpe. The over blouse that is cut with the back portions extended to form a belt, in what is known as aeroplane style, is a smart yet simple one that is greatly in vogue. It requires scarcely appreciable time for the making, yet it makes a most attractive effect. The Bathing Cap. The very popular bathing cap of today can be easily made by any woman. One style of cap consists of an oval-shaped piece of material shirred about the face by means of a drawing run through a pocket on the wrong side of the fabric's outer edge. The turban cap is cut in circular shape and gathered on a wide, ribbon with long ends which, by passing behind the ears, hold the headgear firmly in place. four or twenty-seven, five and one-fourth yards thirty-two, or four and one-fourth yards forty-four inches wide, with one and three-fourth yards of ribbon four inches wide. Girl's Dress. Such a little dress as this one can be made simple, adapted to morning wear, or dressy and suited to afternoon occasions, as one material or the other is utilized. A simple washable material in blue makes the one illustrated, and the yoke, belt and sleeve-bands are of white. A more elaborate effect could be obtained, however, by making the dress of white linen or white lawn and the yoke and trimming portions of embroidery or of the material embroidered or braided by hand. A dainty dress could be made by using Dresden dimity or lawn with the trimming portions of the same or of white as preferred, and the model will be found just as satisfactory for one style as for another. The skirt is straight, consequently laundering is a simple matter. The dress is made with body and skirt portions. The body portion is tucked over the shoulders and to give a box pleat effect at front and back. The skirt is straight and laid in backward-turning pleats. The two are joined and the closing is made for the entire length at the back. The yoke is a prettily shaped one and can be finished either with or without the standing collar. The sleeves are in one piece each, gathered into bands. 1 The quantity of material required for the medium size (eight years) is five and three-fourth yards twenty-four, four and one-half yards twenty-seven, four yards thirty-two, ar three yards forty-four inches wide, with three-fourth yard twenty-seven for trimming portions. Combinations of Crepe. Delightful combinations of crepes, moussellines and laces with sable,ermine, caracul and other furs willappear as evening gowns as the season advances. THE NEW YORK CITY MAIL. One-Piece Blouse, to Be Made With High, Collarless or Round Neck—The simple one-piece blouse made in Oriental or peasant style, that is with the sleeves and body portion in one, is a pronounced favorite of the season. This one is simplicity itself. There are only the under-arm seams, that are extended into the sleeve Outing Hats. Smart-looking outing hats with large round crowns and medium wide brims, the latter slightly turned up an inch all the way around, are of natural color shantung, the material laid on smoothly, the edge bound with black velvet. The trimmings are scarfs of Persian silk, soft and full, laid in deep folds around the crown, and finished with twists at the left side, held in place with Egyptian ornaments. IN WOMAN'S REALM Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, assisted by officers of the Y. M. C. A., started a movement to teach every school child in Chicago to swim. Instruction began at bathing beaches along the shores of Lake Michigan. Character. Character gives weight to one's words and permanence to one's acts. Character secures the confidence of those who employ us, the respect of those above us, the love of those on our level, the loyalty of those beneath. Character is the guinea stamp on the gold, the signature at the edge of the portrait, the ring of the genuine coin, the accent of the speech of the New Jerusalem, which is found only on the lips of the true citizen.—Woman's Life. Making and Using Stencils. The use of the stencil for wall decoration, or for ornamenting curtains, scarfs and even dresses, is effective and not difficult. Whether the effect is cheap and tawdry or beautiful and dignified will depend upon the design and colors selected. To make the stencil, procure some fairly heavy Manila wrapping paper. Give it a coat of raw linseed all. With a cloth wipe off the superfluous oil and hang the paper to dry. It should be used when fresh. To cut, lay the paper upon a sheet of glass and use a very sharp knife. This keeps the under side of the cut clean and free from ragged edges. When finished the stencil should be given a coat of shellac. It will be easily seen that since the design shows only where the openings occur, the openings alone make the design, and the paper must be so made that the paper completely surrounds each opening; that is, unless care is used in planning the design, it may fall apart when it is finished. This can readily be seen by studying A B Pi.1.1 Pi.2. FIG. B. FIG. A CUT BACK FIG. B. Fig. 1. When this figure is cut, the pieces A and B will fall out. In Fig. 2 this fault is corrected. In other words, the parts that make the design must in each case be separated from each other by the background of paper. If when the design is drawn, and before it is cut, the spaces are filled in with pencil or ink, it will be easy to determine if the figure is made so it will not fall apart. Those stencils are best which avoid long, loose connecting parts (Fig. 3), as they are likely to be pushed aside by the brush and the design blurred. Fig. 4 shows the proper arrangement. The space to be decorated must first be marked off into rectangles the size of unit in the stencil. Four holes cut in corners of the stencil will enable one to see where to place the design (Fig. 5). If more than one color is desired, the parts intended for each color must be cut on a different piece of paper, and if three colors are wanted a third stencil must be made. These are used one after the other, allowing each to dry thoroughly before using the next. If, however, the different colors are quite removed from each other in the design, or if one color is a small portion of the design, sometimes it is possible to cut them on the same sheet, and then with a separate small brush the extra color may be worked in at the time the first color is applied. The stencils must be wiped with a clean cloth from time to time, and care must be taken not to let the color get on the front of the paper. The brush should be stiff and with short hairs. If a regular stencil brush cannot be procured, bind an ordinary brush with twine for an inch or more, and then cut off the hair three-quarters of an inch below this binding. (See cut.) The color should be the consistency of cream, and applied by stippling, that is, dabbing, not by moving brush backward and forward. For stenciling on cloth it is necessary to have the color free of oil deposit. Squeeze tube paint on to blotting paper. Then if thinning is necessary use benzine, which dries very quickly. Although it is impossible to give any absolute rules about the com- binations of color, yet to help those unfamiliar with colors to produce pleasing effects, we hazard a few combinations which have proved satisfactory. These colors are given in the order of the proportion, that is, the first named should be used in the largest areas and the others in the order of their precedence: 1 Gray-green gray orange 2 Yellow-green gray lemon-yellow 3 Green-green dull orange or red 4 Gray-collet yellow-green cream-white 5 Gray-blue dull orange 6 Light-green-salmon pink Two shades of any of the colors may be used in place of one in case the design calls for more colors. Cream or ivory-white is always better than pure white. If the colors in a combination are kept in or near the same value they will be more likely to be agreeable. By "the same value" is meant neither darker nor lighter. —Youth's Companion. Rights of Fiancees. The law courts of Gottingen have just delivered a weighty decision affecting the rights and liberties of fiances. Some weeks ago a young Berlin architect had a visit from his betrothed, a Gottingen lady. She stayed in the capital over the week end, and the architect escorted his sweetheart back to the station, where, he fondly thought, he saw her in the train safely bound for Gottingen. It appears, however, that the lady was reluctant to tear herself away from the joys of the metropolis. Sirenlike, Berlin beckoned her back, and at the second station she left the train and returned to the city, where she stayed till the next morning. Some kind friend imparted intelligence of this to the architect, and added that his fiancee had been unescorted in the Friedrichstrasse. The architect at once wrote to his sweetheart, demanding explanations. Receiving no reply, he broke off the engagement and instituted proceedings for a return of his presents and the money he had spent during his betrothal, including cab fares, railway tickets from Gottingen to Berlin, and the lady's board while she was here. Her explanation of her conduct was that she was tired to the point of ennul of the intellectual life of Gottlingen, and sighed for the renowned midnight revels of Berlin. The courts decided that she had done nothing to justify her lover breaking off the engagement, and dismissed the action, adding that there was no proof that the lady's escapade reflected in the least upon her character. Breach of promise cases are unknown to German law, so the Gottlingen lady cannot mend her broken heart with coin of the realm.—Berlin Correspondence London Mafi. PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR: Changeable taffetas are in high favor for afternoon frocks. Tucked long gloves are in again, and will stay for the season. Thin brown cloth gauntlets are good for the horsewoman. Parasols and stockings match the gown, whether the shoes do or not. The stitching itself is varied; a broad chain effect is new and pretty. Pink silk gloves are reversible to yellow, and just match the tearose gowns. Yellow lisle gloves are cool and washable, and look like the fashionable but heavy chamois. Flowered net shirred over a white Neapolitan straw hat makes a novel and pretty effect for a dressy hat. While kid gloves are stitched in colors to match the frock. Lavenders and pinks are especially favored. Chantecler gloves have come to match the chantecler handkerchiefs. A tiny rooster or a golden pheasant is embroidered at the elbow. With the barnyard trimmings which are so much sought for, the straw braids—so coarse that one wonders that they hang together—are the first choice. Silk flowers, made so exactly that it is difficult to tell them from the original models, are used for fasteners at the neck with the collarless afternoon gown. Very pretty afternoon gowns are made of the sheer batfist, which comes in the most fascinating shades this year. This material, too, is used for princess slips, worn under the white lingerie gown.

The Almshouse the County's Convenient Dumping Ground. James Oppenheim writes an exposure of almost unbelievable conditions for the American Magazine. His subject is the Almshouses of the Counties of New York State. Says the editor in a foreword to the article: "You must go back to the old Bedlam to find anything so revolting in the case of suffering human beings." The following is quoted from the article: "Possibly it may now be understood what an almshouse is. It is the last refuge of the old; it is the winter hotel of the vagrant; it is the pest-house for the sick; the asylum for the feeble-minded—it is, in short, the county's convenient dumping ground. Here the Charities Commissioner, the Overseer of the Poor and the magistrate commit the dependent, the defective and the delinquent. They are all cooped up together and allowed to work out their own destinies. One finds in the woman's living room a spectacle of horror and polignant sadness. Here is a woman of ninety, like a child of three, doubled up in a little rocking chair, singing wildly. Another woman sits by whose nose is half eaten away by syphilis. Next to her sits a degenerate who escapes from the institution for a carouse whenever she can. Another, three feet high, in a wheelchair, twitches and jerks with chorea. Another rocks to and fro, babbling incoherent fragments. Another has an ulcer wrapped in dirty bandages. And yet among such people some quiet old woman who is patiently waiting for death must spend her days. At night she sleeps in the common dormitory with these deformed or degenerate human beings." OLDEST KNOWN POTTERY. Remarkable Work of a Prehistoric People in Peru. At a meeting of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society recently Sir William Bailey read a paper giving further details of the remarkable discoveries of prehistoric pottery made by Hewitt Myring in Peru, a short description of which has already appeared in The Sun. Sir William explained that the discoveries, which have attracted widespread attention, at least one American museum having tried to secure the pottery, were made during the exploration of the Chimcuna Valley in Peru. Mr. Myring was exploring the sand ridges in the hope of finding something in the Inca graves, but it appeared that the valley had been used as a cemetery by the Chimus, the race before the Incas, and as he went on he discovered hundreds of pieces of what is probably the most ancient pottery in the world. These pieces, which are in the best state of preservation, have been, brought to England, and about a third of them have been secured for the British Museum. Sir William said that the Egyptian pottery of any dynasty was not equal to the best of the Peruvian specimens. The modeling of the human face was startling in its art. Both dignity and laughter were shown, and the muscles of the cheek, the wrinkles of the skin and the flexibility of the nostrils were depicted with great care and skill. No two specimens were alike. There was individuality in each figure. The serfdom of habit and custom and tradition did not govern the work, which showed that the workers must have had intellectual liberty and genius. The pots were buried with the dead. They varied in shape and size. Some represented animals, birds and fishes. Weapons were not much in evidence, and neither hows nor arrows had been discovered. No horses were to be found but there was a beast like a hornless antelope. Birds were somewhat abundant and a bat-like beast, stags and frogs were imitated. The broad, intellectual human faces represented on some of the pieces were doubtless portraits. They might easily be taken for English or German faces. The workmanship was equal to any of the portrait jugs in vogue in this country in the eighteenth century and in some cases was better art. The age of the pottery might be anything between 5000 and 10,000 years. Many of the pots cantained silver pellets and necessaries for a journey, thus revealing that these early races shared in the belief in another world and a state of transmigration possibly entailing hardship and the need of endurance. The absence of rain in Peru and the presence of silicates in the soil had helped to preserve the specimens practically intact. Fireworks to Protect Crops. The great grain fields of the Sand-born ranch in Shasta County, California, are ingeniously protected at night from the vast flocks of wild geese and other aquatic fowl that do immense damage to crops by means of a display of fireworks. Skyrockets and 'Roman candles were bought in large quantities by the management of the ranch, and men are stationed at various points. Whenever a flock is heard honking in the distance several skyrockets or a shower of colored balls from a Roman candle are sent upward, and as a result the birds give the ranch a wide berth.—Popular Mechanics.

"Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly man, rushed forward and seized shabby fellow with a dead pheasant protruding from the breast of his coat. "Sir," said Lord Arthur to the king, 'this fellow is a bad egg. This is the second time I've caught him poaching.' "But the king's handsome face beamed, and he laughed his gay and tolerant laugh. "Oh, let him go," he said. 'If he really were a bad egg, you know, he wouldn't poach.' In the Night School. Teacher (of night school)—What do you understand by the terms "life sentence?"

AGE OF THE ODOMETER. Distance Measurer Was Invented by Colonel Blunt in 1657. "It would surprise a great many automobilists who are so familiar with the name and use of such common automobile accessories as the speedometer, the odometer, and the taximeter, to know that hundreds of years ago similar devices were known of and in use," said Edwin G. Baldwin, of Boston, Mass. "Why, 250 years ago the odometer was invented by Colonel Blunt, of New York, who called his machine the 'Way-Wiser," which he applied to the Cumberland stage coach of that day. This was on August 6, 1657, and the machine successfully registered the miles and showed them by an index as the coach traveled. The 'Way-Wiser' had its dial face divided into three circles, one of which indicated the number of roads, another the miles by tens up to one thousand, and the third circle of the dial showed the miles with all the quarters by and division." Of course, the original odometer was that used by the Chinese thousands of years ago, before the Christian era, which indicated the distance traveled by a vehicle by dropping a small pebble into a receptacle at every mile. Quite a far cry from that to the present Broadway taxicab, which registers whether you want it or not.—New York Sun. Doctors of Aviation.

SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura.

"This will keep your heart young, your viewpoint fresh, your wit sparkling. The child heart is at once the purest and the happiest in all nature; the child tongue is a transfiguring power." Something of this indubitable power attaches to good stories of those naive and innocent "little ones" scripturally declared specially blessed and potent. The child mind transforms, the child touch lifts to glauk laughter incidents and accidents not otherwise worth noting. Witness this little tale of the careful mother to whom came a tiny son all agog over the acquirement of new and forbidden knowledge. "Mother!" cried the child, baby eyes shining, baby cheeks glowing. "do you know what 'Till be hornswogled' means?" "No, dear," said the mother; solemnly seizing the opportunity to implant a lesson. "I'm sure I do not." "Well, I do," was the ecstatic answer, the suggested lesson being utterly ignored. "It means just the same as 'I'll be gol-darned!'" Wife and Country. Paul D. Cravath, the noted New York lawyer, sald at a luncheon at the Lawyers' club: "Vacation time is here, and already that dreadful song about the wife gone to the country is being resurrected.

This he did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view, that not only judges, but barristers, also, took up the custom throughout Europe.

Jimmie, who is a very small boy living in the East end, accompanied his mother downtown several days ago. Nearly everything he saw was quite-new to him, so he was not sparing in his comments and opinions and questions. Seated opposite Jimmie and his mother on the car homebound was an individual who, judging by the "blossom" on his nose, had partaken freely of joy, water. None of Jimmie's neighbors possessed an appendage that could compare with the one across the alley. In silence Jimmie took in the situation and the "blossom." His thoughts must have grown so curious that they could not be withheld any longer and he finally blurted out in a loud voice: "Mamma, is that Santa Claus?" pointing to the man with the red nose. Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried to silence her son, but it was no use. In an audible whisper, the connection between the man and Santa Claus was disclosed much to the discomfiture of the man.
