V01. XXVI. PLAGUE VICTIMS NEVER RECOVER A Half a Mile of Coffins on the Frozen Ground. DOZEN DOCTORS DIE OF THE DISEASE. Japanese Have Checked the Spread of the Pest in South Mukden, But Its Ravages Continue in the Remainder of Manchuria—Reports Received From the American Consul General—The Homes of Refugees Being Burned—Aid From the Red Cross. Washington, D. C.—That none of the plague-stricken people of China recovers, the lungs being infected followed by death in a few hours, was reported to the American National Red Cross in cablegram just received from American Consul General Wilder, at Shanghai, on the conditions resulting from the pneumonic plague. The Japanese have checked the plague in South Mukden, but the remainder of Manchuria is being ravaged by the disease. The pestilence is spreading in Shantung. A dozen doctors who attended the stricken people are dead. Reports from Harbin, Mr. Wilder says, show 250 deaths daily. The frozen ground makes burial impossible and half a mile of coffins are visible. The people have finally consented to the cremation of 4,000 bodies and 1,000 victims have been cremated at Kiangchantzu. While there has been some improvement at the centers of the disease, the Consul General says it is spreading to the villages. The homes of refugees, he adds, are being burned. Roger S. Greene, American consul at Harbin, reports that up to January 17 433 persons, including 12 Europeans, had died of plague, while at Fushla Tien, a suburb of Harbin, 1,803 have succumbed to the disease. Of the deaths at Harbin 267 had occurred in hospitals and 166 persons had been found dead in the streets and houses. From statistics gathered at points along the Chinese Eastern Railway, the consul said that up to January 17 there have been 777 cases of plague among the Chinese and 25 cases among Europeans, resulting in 766 deaths of Chinese and 23 deaths of Europeans. 65,000 DEAD OF PEST.. Even Inside the Wall of China There Have Been 1,000. Peking. — The Viceroy of Manchuria estimates that the fatalities in Manchuria from the bubonic plague already have reached 65,000, while the Foreign Office believes that inside the great wall there have been 1,000 more deaths. According to the general belief, however, the number of fatalities will be nearer double those of the official estimates. The relief committee at Shanghai believes that the minimum number of deaths from famine is 10,000. The success which the anti-plague has met has been a surprise and a cause of gratification to the foreign legations and foreigners generally. The Chinese Railway, though it is losing heavily, continues its curtailment of traffic. Many of the people in the famine-stricken district of Anhul are employed by the government in building levees. The financial drain on the government is most severe, and it is expected that it will be forced to negotiate more extensive loans than had been contemplated. 10,000 MINERS DESTITUTE. Output Small and Little Work in Coal Fields of Indiana Indianapolis,—Reports from the Indiana coal fields to the headquarters of the miners' organization show there is much distress among the miners. Owing to the fact that work has been so scarce during the winter there are 10,000 miners destitute, and at no time has more than a third of them been employed, a fact due to the unusually mild weather and the consequent small demand for coal. Arrangements are now making to give relief to many of the miners' families and to arrange so that work may be so distributed that every miner will have at least a share of it. The miners' officers say that there was never a time in the history of the state when the winter output of the mines was as small, considering the number of men usually employed. Boston—Rear Admiral Arthur P. Nazro, U. S. N. (retired), died suddenly of apoplexy at his home in Jamaica Plain. He was born in Wisconsin in 1848. The Savannah Tribune. POISONERS FOUND GUILTY|NEAR-CLASH Dr. Pantchenke and De Lassy Are Convicted. St. Petersburg.—The sensational trial of Count Patrick O'Brien De Lassy, Dr. Pantchenko and Mme Muravleff, charged with the murder of Count Vassilli Bouturlin, came to an end Thursday night when a verdict of guilty was rendered by the jury in the case of De Lassy and Pantchenko, and not guilty in the case of the woman. De Lassy was sentenced to penal servitude for life and Pantchenko to 15 years' imprisonment. The jury noted extenuating circumstances in Pantchenko's favor which accounts for the lighter punishment meted out to him. The trial aroused enormous interest and brought out startling testimony. Prior to the beginning of the proceedings Pantchenko made a confession in which he accused De Lassy of hiring him to poison Count Vassilli, who was heir to General Bouturlin's millions. De Lassy's wife is the daughter of General Bouturlin, and the removal of Vassilli would naturally mean that the general's great estate would go to his daughter. On the witness stand Pantchenko denied the confession and made so many erratic statements that he came to be thought practically insane. Much evidence was adduced, however, to show that he and De Lassy had very intimate dealings together. A REMARKABLE CASE. Doctor Inoculated Victims With Cholera Bacilli. The whole of Russia was startled on February 2 last, when Dr. Pantchenko and Count O'Brien de Lassy were arraigned in St. Petersburg for murder, and the revelations at the trial interested the entire world. The Doctor Inoculated his victims with cholera and diphtheria serum and was accused of having started the cholera epidemic in St. Petersburg several years ago. On trial for the murder of a count, Dr. Pantchenko said he was hypnotized and forced to commit the crime. The 'poison doctor, who was said to be a professional poisoner who killed heirs, rivals in love and creditors for fees, some times as high as $250,000, according to the police has admitted causing some 40 or more deaths. His method was to inoculate his victim with cholera bacilli after he had been called to the bedside in his professional capacity. Ordinarily it was necessary that the intended victim should be caught while indisposed and by some ruse adopted to bring about Pantchenko's attendance. CRIME IS A DISEASE. Gov. Osborn, of Michigan, Believes in Corporal Punishment. Lansing, Mich.—In an interview indorsing the use of corporal punishment to maintain discipline in extreme cases at the state prison at Marquette, Gov. Chase S. Osborn said: "Crime is a disease, and with the chronicle criminal nothing will hold him but fear of physical suffering, and this fear is the greatest aid to discipline. If our mothers could paddle us when we were children, I don't think it is going to hurt a hardened criminal to be touched up." MONKEY OVERTURNS HEATER. Fire Results and Small Railroad ` Circus is Destroyed. Pottsville, Pa.—A monkey overturning an oil heater in the winter quarters of a small railroad circus at Orwigsburg, Pa., caused the destruction of all the circus paraphernula, including a cage of monkeys, trained apes, a pack of trained dogs, a den of snakes and several horses. One horse was the only thing taken out alive. The owner was in Wilkes-Barre arranging for new additions to his show preparatory to getting into shape to start South. Recluse Shot to Death. Panama City, Fla.—The body of Richard Hancock, an aged recluse, was found at his home near here with three bullet wounds in the back. Richard McNelll, a negro, was arrested, and confessed to having committed the murder. Hancock was repuled to have been wealthy and is said to have kept large sums of money in the house. Gives $10,000 for Library New York.—Mrs. Russell Sage has donated $10,000 for library purposes for the members of the New York Fire Department. Notice to that effect was received by Rev. Edward M. H. Knapp, chaplain of the department, who is designated as librarian. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911. Russia Will Make Military Demonstration on Frontier. Free Trade in Mongolia, Extra Territorial Rights of Russians in China and Establishment of a Russian Consulate at Kobdo the Vital Points Involved — Russian Press Characterizes It as "China's Persistent Flouting of the Treaty, Stipulations." London.—The relations of Russia and China are strained to the breaking point. Russia notified the governments of Great Britian, France and Germany of her intention to make a military demonstration on the Russo-Chinese frontier owing to China's persistent violation of the St. Petersburg treaty of 1881. Russian troops will be sent forthwith to the district of Ill. The extent of the demonstration, it is added in the diplomatic note, will depend entirely upon the attitude assumed by China. The vital questions involved are free trade in Mongolia, the extra-territorial rights of Russians in China, and the establishment of a Russian consulate at Kobdo, Mongolia. The greatest curiosity is manifested in diplomatic circles as to the role which Japan will play in the present crisis, and also respecting the attitude the United States is likely to adopt, should Russia carry out her threats. It is believed, however, that President Taft's cabinet will not go beyond gentle intervention. DEMANDS OF RUSSIA. Threatens to Sever Friendly Relations With China. St. Petersburg—The strained relations between Russia and China have finally resulted in decisive action by the Russian government. According to instructions, M. Korotovitz, the Russian minister to China, has presented to that government a note bearing on the treaty of 1881, which China has seemed disposed to abrogate. The note contains six points and Russia insists upon compliance on pain of complete cessation of friendly relations. SURPRISE TO DIPLOMATS. China Likely to Make an Appeal to United States. -Washington.—Notice of Russia's intention regarding China reached the State Department Thursday through the American Embassy at St. Petersburg. It appears that the Russian government, wearied of what it regards as persistent disregard by China of her treaty obligations toward Russia, is about to bring pressure to bear to enforce her rights, even to the extent of a military demonstration in the Province of III, the seat of the present trouble. The Russian government promises the American Embassy to acquaint it with particulars of the indictment against China. The whole incident comes as a great surprise to the diplomatic service in Washington, for although it was known that sharp issues had arisen between Russia and China over conflicting claims of jurisdiction in Manchuria and in connection with commercial privileges in Mongolia, the situation was not regarded as critical and it generally was believed that in view of the deplorable conditions existing in China as a result of the famine and the ravages of the plague, Russia would generously defer pressing her claims to the extreme at this time. SIGNS EXPOSITION BILL: President Taft Uses Gold Pen Made For Purpose Washington, D. C.—President Taft signed the bill designating San Francisco as the city in which will be held in 1915 the exposition signalizing the completion of the Panama Canal. With a gold pen made of precious metal mined in the State of California, and in the presence of the two United States senators and a number of the representatives from that state, the President attached his signature to the engrossed bill. Mr. Taft presented the pen to one of the members of the party, and it will be placed on exhibition at the exposition. Zelaya Men Taken. Washington, D. C.—Owing to a rumor that the explosion at Managua, Nicaragua, was the result of a plot, the Government authorities there have arrested several sympathizers of former President Zelaya. PASSED BY THE SENATE Forest Reserves For the First Now Assured. Washington, D. C. — After many years of delay, the bill looking to the creation of national forest reserves in the White Mountains and the Southern Appalachians, passed the Senate, the vote standing 57 to 9. The negative vote was cast by Senators Bristow, Burton, Clark, of Wyoming; Cullom, Grouna and McCumber, Republicans, and Senators Davis, Paynter and Shively, Democrats. The bill passed the house of Representatives last session, and as it was accepted by the Senate without change, it lacks only the signature of the President to elevate it into a statute. The entire day was given to the subject by the Senate. Senators Brandegee, of Connecticut, and Gallinger, of New Hampshire, stood as the special sponsors of the measure. Mr. Brandegee made a brief speech in the interest of an early vote. Senators Simmons, of North Carolina, and Newlands, of Nevada, spoke in support of the bill, and Senators Burton, of Ohio, and Heyburn, of Idaho, in opposition. The supporters of the measure resisted all efforts at amendment on the theory that any change would imperil the bill in the House. While it is understood on all sides that the purpose of the bill is the acquisition of lands in the White Mountains of New England and of the Appalachians, in the Southern States, for the creation of forest reserves, it contains no specific mention of such purpose. The authority for this proceeding is found in the general powers conferred by the bill. The carrying into effect of the provisions of the bill is placed in the hands of a commission, to be composed of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, two senators and two members of the House of Representatives. "The purchase of land is placed in the hands of the Secretary of Agriculture and is confined to such areas as may affect the head waters of navigable streams. No purchase is to be authorized until passed upon by the Geological Survey. The land once acquired, it is to be cut up into forest reserves, as may seem best for administrative purposes. Authority for co-operation with different states is given and $2,000,-000 a year is appropriated until 1915. DEATH FOR TRIPLE CRIME. Negro Who Wiped Out Sandera Family Is Electrocuted. Raleigh, N. C.—In the death chamber at the state prison here Nathan Montague, the negro slayer, pald the death penalty in the electric chair. The negro's life was forfeited for a group of crimes committed in December last in Granville county. He not only committed a triple murder, but to this was added an assault on one of the victims, a highly respected young woman. His victims were J. L. Sanders, Miss Mattle Sanders, daughter of the murdered man, and his little granddaughter, Irene Overton. COAL GAS KILLS COUPLE. Murder Mystery at Cumberland, Maryland, Solved. Cumberland, Md.—That Charles E. Twigg and Grace Elosser, the young couple found dead in the parlor of the Elosser home on December 31 last, the eve of their wedding day, came to their end from carbon monoxide (coal gas) poisoning, was the conclusion of the Washington and Baltimore chemists who tested the blood of the two victims. Heretofore the authorities have maintained that the pair met their death by cyanide of potassium, the Coroner's jury returning a verdict to that effect. Dalsy Drake. Des Moines, Ia.—A cablegram announcing the death of Daisy Drake, accounted the most famous missionary ever sent out from Drake University, reached here from India. She was a resident of Hampton before entering mission work, fourteen years ago. Train Kills Three Men. Dongra, Pa.—Three miners were killed at Blairs Station, near here, when they were struck by a passenger train on the Monongahela division, of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The three started across the tracks to the company store and did not see the fast train approaching, owing to a sharp curve. OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTH. Prof. Walter S. Buchanan Tells of Excellent Chance the Negro Has to Become Indispensable. Brookwood, Ala.—(Special.) — Before a large audience of white and colored people, who have interested themselves in the moral and intellectual elevation of the Negroes of this section, Walter S. Buchanan, president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes spoke here on the subject: "Our Opportunities in the South." The possibilities of the South as an agricultural center and the immense opportunity before the Negro, by laboring in its mines and on its plantations, to become a hopeful asset in the South's certain development, was emphasized by the educator. He urged his people to become indispensably identified with the resources and industrial activities of the South, and among other things said: "The South has only begun to develop. We have hardly scratched the surface of her natural resources. In the impoverished condition of the Negro who in this district alone receives a million-dollar payroll, is not materially strengthened and improved by this happy production of wealth, it will be due to his own lack of energy and foresight. We are partners in all these magnificent industrial operations. "Let us not lose an inch more of the ground we occupy, but let us in every possible manner strengthen our hold upon the labor market "If we are coal miners, let us get out cleaner coal than anybody else and report to work as often as the whistle calls. If we are iron workers, let us prove our interest in the business by the earnestness of our service. If we are day laborers, let us work each day as if we expected to be placed in charge of the job next day. If we are mechanics, let us be thorough and reliable. If we are business and professional men, let us be high-minded, efficient and beyond reproach. "We have a splendid opportunity to create a healthy public sentiment through our various relations as personal and domestic servants." "The work of race readjustment cannot be settled by legislative enactment or incessant agitation. These means might suffice were the matter not entirely local. When a Negro wants a job, he does not appeal to congress; when he is ready to borrow money, he does not lay the matter before the legislature; when he is in need of friendly assistance, he does not advertise his condition in the newspapers, but goes directly to the leading white people in his own community and lays his condition and claims before them." NEGRO REPUBLIC ERUPTS. Port-au-Prince, Hayti.—(Special.)—The government is acting energetically in the hope of putting down the revolutionary movement, which, according to the latest reports from the North, is spreading into new districts, of which Fort Liberte and Trou are the centers. The German steamer Alemania has been chartered by the government to transport troops. The steamer left here having on board all the troops that could be dispensed with here. Washington.—(Special.)—The revolutionists in Hayti, according to a report which has reached Port-au-Prince, the capital of the country, have captured Fort Liberty, Onanahintat and Trou. This information was conveyed to the state department in a telegram from American Minister Furniss at Port-au-Prince. May Succeed Grant. Washington, D. C.—(Special.) — Bishop George W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C., and one of the most influential members of the A. M. E. Zion church, was in the city this week on business connected with his church. Bishop Clinton's name is being mentioned in educational circles in connection with the vacancy on the board of trustees of the Jeannes' and Glater School fund caused by the death of Bishop Abram Grant. Aeroplane Company Formed. Aeroplanes Company Former The first colored aeroplane company to be organized in the history of aviation was formed in New York at the Hotel Macco, 213 West Fifth-third street. The capitalization of the company is $10,000. The officers and directors are: Louis A. Leavelle, president; Charles W. Chappelle, vice president; Benjamin F. Thomas, treasurer; Lee A. Pollard, secretary; Harrison M. Steward, John Bryant and Dr. V. T. Thomas. Aeroplanes will be manufactured by the company, which hopes to have a machine constructed, within a few weeks and put on exhibition in New York. SAYS THERE MUST BE NO DISCRIMINATION ON TRAINS RAILROADS SHOULD FURNISH EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ALL PASSENGERS. NEGROES WIN A VICTORY Judge Sanford of United States Court Renders Favorable Decision in "Jim Crow" Case. Washington, D. C.—(Spectal.) Railroads must furnish equal accommodations for blacks and whites in the South! Although the Interstate commerce commission issued a ruling sometime ago that there should-be no discrimination by the Southern railroads on account of race or color, yet there has been a disposition on the part of some roads to ignore the commission's edict. The accommodations furnished the colored passengers on many roads in the South have been much inferior to those given white passengers, although both paid the same amount of fare. The recent decision of Judge Sanford of the United States court for the Middle district of Tennessee, in dismissing the demurrier of the railroad in the "Jim Crow" car case, originally brought in Georgia, is a big victory for the Negroes of the South who have been fighting for equal accommodations. An appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, but in the end the question will resolve itself into a question of facts as to whether discrimination against Negro passengers is practiced. The Georgia Edwards case decided by the commission in June, 1907, was a test case brought against the Nasnville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad on complaint that cars furnished Negro passengers were not the equal of those furnished waite passengers; that no wash bowls or towels were provided, and no smoking compartment. The railroad contended that the Interstate Commerce commission had no power to require equal accommodations. This answer has been overturned by the courts. Under the Georgia law separate accommodations must be furnished and under the order of the commission equal accommodations. This means that cars which are the equal in every respect must be provided by the railroads for their colored patrons, or, as a condition of failure, pay a heavy fine, so heavy they could not stand it. Equal accommodations on day coaches will not present much of a problem, but the question of Pulman accommodations will be a vexing one under the commission's ruling. BISHOP GRANT'S WILL. Leaves Bulk of His Estate to, Paul Quinn College. Kansas City, Kan.—(Special.)—The will of the late Bishop Abraman Grant which has been admitted to probate here, bequeaths the bulk of his property to Paul Quinn college, of which he was formerly president, and Payne Theological seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio, of which school he was formerly president of the board of trustees. Bequeaths are also made to his brother and sister, a number of superannuated ministers, and $1,000 is given to Mrs. J. Campbell Beckett of Philadelphia, whom the dead prelate and his wife raised. The estate is valued at $35,000 and Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, is the executor. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. As Reported By the National Negro Business League. One of the largest contractors in the city of Pensacola is S. S. Moses. He is a man of ability and a great hustler. His contracting business is one of the largest in the city. One of his largest contracts and also one that demands a great deal of skill is the new St. Paul M. E. church. Mr. MoMses has accumulated a great deal of property. Pons and Sunday are also among the largest contractors in Pensacola. Some of the largest buildings in the city have been built by them. Both of these men have accumulated property and are reckoned among Pensacola's substantial citizens. The colored fraternal organizations of Cleveland, Ohio, are determined not to be behind the fraternal organizations in other cities in the matter of lodge room accommodations. They are planning the erection of a $50,000 building. "For we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men."—II Corinthians 8:21. These words state for us the fundamental law of honesty in business, which is the cornerstone of industry and commerce and the ground of confidence between one man and another and one nation and another. It is said that "honesty is the best policy," but it is not with policy that we have to deal now. As a policy honesty may or may not commend itself—it depends altogether on the individual with whom you are dealing. Honesty for us is a law of God, not a mere matter of policy. But if it be right to be honest simply on grounds of policy, it is a thousand-fold more certain on grounds of law, and we dare not refuse obedience to it or attempt to temperize with it. Let us, therefore, ask ourselves what this law means. In the first place, what does it teach us with regard to the proper use of money? There are two extremes. One is the fallacy of hoarding. Now, money is a medium of exchange and should, under all circumstances, represent value received. It should, therefore, never be loved for its own sake, but only for the sake of what might be done with it. This applies to the small sum as well as to the large; for a man can be miserly with a dime as with a dollar. God's law forbids the fictitious valuation of money which hoarding it involves. The other extreme from hoarding is, of course, reckless spending, and this is quite as certainly forbidden. More harm, perhaps, is done by the former, for the spendthrift has this advantage over the miser: his money circulates, whereas in the miser's case it does not. The man who spends liberally, buys unnecessary luxuries, such as jewelry, finery, automobiles and everything his taste can suggest, keeps multitudes of people employed, promotes business and creates an atmosphere of confidence which the miser does not. But reckless spending is not right or honest. Money needlessly spent is money thrown away. Thus used it is withdrawn from legitimate avenues of investment where it might do more good, and being devoted to merely selfish uses is "tainted" money, the only really tainted money there is. Between these extremes lies the true-view of the value and use of money. Money, in other words, is a means to an end, that end the promotion of the common welfare. It is to be used for that end, not all at once but as needed. We are not, therefore, to withhold it in the face of absolute want, or when temporary comfort needs its outlay. For be it remembered that when it is hugged to our souls it not only injures our own finer senses of its real use, but we defeat the ends of honesty itself; for why should some have much more than others except it be that they may distribute more liberally? Let us consider, secondly, some of the ways this value law is evaded. Take gambling. Gambling is a disonest use of money, because, under no conceivable circumstances, can the winner in a gamble say "I have given value for money received," and the ability to say this is the root of business honesty. Now, this applies to all forms of gambling, including games of chance, such as foulette, whist, bridge pool, billiards, chess, tennis, baseball and football, where money is one of the stakes of the game. This is so because the outcome of the contest is unknowable. But it has a wider application also to other forms of stealing, out of which large fortunes are sometimes made, such as stock gambling, speculation on margins, horse racing and professional sport. The gambling vice also rallies in the social strain. The little foolery that wise men have makes a great show.—Shakespeare. Nature is the art of God.—Sir Thomas Browne. The lion is not so fierce as painted.—Thomas Fuller. Defer not till tomorrow to be wise; Tomorrow's sun to thee may never rise—Congreve. The man that makes a character makes foes.—Young. Our youth we can have but today. We may always find time to grow old.—Bishop Berkley. That old bald cheater, Time.—Ben Jonson. Every man for himself his own ends the devil for all.—Burton. Wedlock, indeed, hath oft compared been To public feasts, where meet a public rout— When they that are within would fain go out.—Davies. They that govern the most make the least noise.—Selden. Prouder than rustling in unpaid for silk—Shapespeare. That disease of which old men sicken—ayerice—Middleton. A worse form of this evil, however, is bribery and the brood of evils to which it has given birth in every part of public and business life to day. We all know that huge sums of money are used in influencing legislation dishonestly, for which no visible return has been forthcoming or even imagined. And corrupt officials indolent and immoral voters, contractors, middlemen, et hoc genus omne are not among the least guilty in the long list. The colossal proportions of this evil have only lately become visible in the revelations of the iniquity of "graft." There does not seem to be any great business operation tree from it. Not only are false weights and measures used, but adulteration and hypothecation of commodities as well. Money is taken, but full value is not given. These are all perversions of the law of honesty. Let us, finally, consider the simple lessons which, if observed and acted upon, will go far to keep one honest in this naughty world in the sight of God and man. The first is, use the talent of money only for its true purpose, consecrate it as you would any other talent to promote the common welfare. Some have this talent in marked degree; some have it only feebly, and some seem entirely devoid of it. Whatever the quality of your gift do not rail against others who may be more capable than you; insist only on honesty in their case as you require it in yourself. Second, take no money if you think the equivalent value has not been given for it—in other words, earn what you possess. It is surprising now abolutely this simple rule would trans-form conditions if everyone would live by it. Third, live within your income. For many, perhaps for most of us, this means a long battle with comparative poverty; it means the strictest economy, cutting our suit according to our cloth, and the necessant practice of thrift. Bt it so. There is a certain fascination about the effort which is entirely wanting in the life of those who never have to bother where the next $5 bill is coming from. And if you succeed, there is no victory so sweet. Besides, fidelity to the little is the stepping stone to higher trust. And, finally, as a safeguard to business honesty give to the Lord-i. e. to his needy ones. From him everything comes, the metal of the mine which we beat into our coin, the cattle on a thousand ailts, the products of our harvests—all come from him. Let us see that we divide aright and give to God as He prosperus us, for no man prosperus who fails of this dutty. We ought to abhor the attitude o the man who would roo God. Simple honesty requires that we begin with our dealings with him. As wise stewards of his bounty we should see to it that our gains are honestly acquired, honestly used and honestly invested for the glory of the Giver, and that we rightly divide the proceeds so that he receives his portion. For after all, "If thou hast sacrificed aright, but hast not divided aright hast thou not sinned?"—Rev. Henry Davies, B. D., Ph. D. Nct a Sample. "If all your rooms are like this one," said the prospective tenant, opening a door and peeping in, "we won't look at your flats. The rooms are entirely too small!" "Go slow," responded the janitor. "That is the telephone booth." Better Next Time. "Lady Exhibitor (at close of baby show)—But, good gracious! this is not the baby, sir!" Check Taker—Very sorry, madam it's the last left. The checks got mixed up somehow. But I'll take care it shan't occur again—Boston Herald. NEWS OF THE DAY. Sometimes the London papers score a "beat," on their American contemporaries. Tit-Bits, telling a story about Uncle Joe Cannon, tells its readers that he is "the late speaker of the American congress." Amazing results have been achieved at the Ultra-Powerful Marconi wireless telegraph station near Elsa. Communication was established with stations in Ireland and Canada and Massaowa in the East African Italian colony of Eritrea. The government railway lines in Victoria, which have been relaid during the years 1908-1910 with American rails, represent a total mileage of 142.21 miles of eighty-pound and 9.76 miles of one hundred-pound rails. The Russian government has ap pointed special commercial agents in foreign ports to prevent the adulteration of exported grain and for the better protection of the Russian grain trade in foreign countries.

Unbridled Desires.—Ahab saw the flourishing vineyard of Naboth, and he wanted it. It did not make any difference how or why Naboth valued it and was unwilling to sell it. His coarse, indulged, vicious nature blindly followed the impulses of its appetites; and when it seems not possible to gratify them, what was Ahab to do but moan and fret over his disappointment? Little children are frequently so indulged and pumpered that they go into a spasm of grief when they cannot get the thing they see and want. Men and women may be in the same way "children of a larger growth." They so indulge themselves that they are but a compound of coarse selfishness, and to look at 'Naboth's vineyard' is not only to covet it, but to go after it without reckoning what it means to him. Thus because Ahab was a king in a far time and what he coveted was a rich vineyard, we should not forget the human element in the picture given in the lesson. "The Place of Religion in Industry' urges with much pertinence to this case of Naboth that as a soldier gives his life for his country, with a mere pittance as his wage, and as the teacher, the minister and the social worker give their brains and hearts and all to the service of the community, with but small financial return, "Why not knights of chivalry in finance? Why not Sir Galahads in trade? Why not the business man who will say, 'I can live comfortably on $10,000 a year? I will be content with that, and all beyond that I will distribute to the men and women who have a part in my product'" The Truth "on the Bias."—There is many a young fellow who would not be so mean as to perjure himself, like the witnesses against Naboth, but he is not above shading the truth off a little so as to suit his ends; he cuts his stories on the bias.

A Drama of Conscience.—What follows is dramatic in the extreme. Ahab has his vineyard; nee is walking over it, congratulating himself, no doubt, in his possession. But his self-congratulation does not last long, for there meets him face to face the very man he did not want to see, the grin, stern, accusing Elijah. "O mine enemy! hast thou found me?" he exclaims. We may be sure that all the hideos horror of what he had done presses with its burden of appalling guilt upon his conscience. His real enemy is therefore not Elijah, but his own sense of guilt. Elijah is merely the outward presence that arouses the inner voice. Sin—now it separates men from good people and makes them dread at times to face not merely their enemies but often their best friends! The consciousness of guilt tends to make one shrink from the very presence of those one cares most for. Had Ahab been a different man, now gladly might he have welcomed Elijah, not as an enemy, but as his best friend! PROHIBITION BRIEFLETS. The Texas legislature will submit a state-wide prohibitory law to be voted on by the people late in the year. One hundred and sixty-one counties are now dry and one thousand saloons were abolished last year. The state of Kansas has 500,000 school children who have never seen a saloon. Let us hope they never will. From now to the first Monday in April next the liquor people will make desperate efforts in Michigan to pull that state out from the "dry" to the "wet" column. The "model saloon" is no good. Heently in Export, Pa., a raid was made on the model saloons and twelve wagon loads of liquor captured. They are all alike in the end. It is now unlawful to treat any one to a drink of intoxicating liquor in Tacoma, Wash. The measure was introduced by Mayor Faucett. More than half the counties of Kansas have empty jails and many of the poor farms are being changed into experimental stations for agricultural work. Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger has announced that he will enforce the law which prohibits the sale of intoxicants under the Indian treaties. This action will apply to Minneapolis with a population of 300, 100. It will make three-fourths of Minnesota dry. Over one hundred caloon keepers of Cincinnati, Ohio, were arrested and fined for violating the internal revenue laws during the month of October. Finland voted for prohibition, but the czar of Russia holds back his signature and thus defeats the will of the people. CHINESE MISSION Every city in the United States where three or four Chinese can be gathered together in a Sunday school has a girl-trap like that in which Elsie Siegel went to her death. Farm Topics Cocks should not be allowed to run with the hens during moulting, so that as the number of hens not moulting decreases they should be confined with the cocks. Anyone who will knowingly sell milk from a diseased cow well deserves the epithet of criminal, for his act is nothing short of crime. To sell filth milk or butter is scarcely less reprehensible. The trouble with a great many poultry keepers is that they think they can fly before they are really able to walk. Take time to learn the business. By and by the flying will come easy enough. There is some difference in the cost of corn whether it is "hogged down" by sheep and lambs in the field, or high priced help husks it and hauls it to the station, and high priced railroads ship it to feeding yards. It is a law of nature that all plants must have a season of rest from active growth. In the tropics this is done in the dry season. No plant can be forced into continual growth without weakening it and finally killing it. If you do not cultivate soon after a rain has hardened the surface your task will be ever so much more difficult. The tendency of a hard baked soil under cultivation is to break up into clods, especially if it has not been well worked previously. This does not produce the necessary mulch but rather tends to dry out the soil further, and, in fact, is frequently worse than no cultivation at all. To the intelligent corn grower a weedy field spells a shiftless farmer who is fooling with his chances of success. The essential requisites for a working horse are good size, quick action and strength. A low down handy wagon is of great value in orchard and garden work. Such wagons are easily loaded, the tires are wilde and they can be taken through fields where the ground is too soft to use narrow wagon tires. The feeding value of hay is often lowered when it is stacked out in the open. In Virginia, for instance, a six to eight ton stack of timothy hay, after it has gone through the sweat, or in three or four weeks, will have from three to six hundred pounds of damaged hay. There is no better way to warm a hen up in the morning than to scatter some warm wheat around in a good clean layer of straw and let them work hard for it. They will get right down to business as soon as it is fairly light and stick to it till they have earned their breakfast. By fast time they are as warm as a loast. The cockerels which are to be marketed should, of course, be fed a more fattening ration than the pullets, and those which are to be used as breeders should be kept from the pullets until about six weeks before the eggs are wanted for hatching. Doctors Said Health Gone Suffered with Throat Trouble Mr. B. W. D. Barnes, ex - Sheriff of Warren County, Tennessee, in a letter from Mc- Minnville, Tennessee, writes: "I had throat trouble and had three doctors treating me. All failed to do me any good, and pronounced my health gone. I concluded to try Peruna, and after using four bottles can say I was entirely cured." Unable to Work. Mr. Gustav Himmelreich, Hochheim, Texas, writes: "For a number of years I suffered whenever I took cold, with severe attacks of asthma, which usually yielded to the common home remedies. "Last year, however, I suffered for eight months without interruption so that I could not do any work at all. The various medicines that were prescribed brought me no relief. "After taking six bottles of Peruna, two of Lacupla and two of Manallin, I am free of my trouble so that I can do all my farm work again. I can heartily recommend this medicine to any one who suffers with this--annoying complaint and believe that they will obtain good results."

The Pacific ocean covers 63,000,000 miles, the Atlantic 30,000,000 and the Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000. To stow away the contents of the Pacific it would be necessary to fill a tank one mile long, one mile wide and one mile deep every day for 440 years. Put in figures, the Pacific holds in weight 940,000,000,000,000,000 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth of not quite three miles. Its water weighs 325,000,000,000,000,000 tons, and a tank to contain it would have each of its sides 430 miles long. The figures of the other oceans are in the same startling proportions. It would take all the sea water in the world 2,000,000 years to flow over Niagara. Fine gravel is not the proper grit for poultry. They want a sharp material with which to grind their feed. If the cocks you used this season are not to be used again, get rid of them and save needless expense. For colony houses you should have a few portable coops, similar to the portable hog houses used on farms. Success in poultry culture is simply the result of looking after all the little details connected with the business. We may choose a breed whose eggs are either white, buff, brown; large or small, and can be certain that the offspring will resemble their ancestors. An effective lice killer for poultry can be made by dissolving in kerosene oil all of the moth balls it will dissolve. Add a little carbolic acid. Apply with a brush. This is the day of the growing chick, and it should be kept true to name, growing, growing in size, growing in exercise, growing in vigor, growing all over. Separate the hens and the pullets, if possible. They will both do better apart. The pullets have not finished their growth and need heavier feeding than the hens. If fed together, the hens take the lion's share and sometimes get too fat. Grain food, green food and meat food must be supplied to fowls continually for best results. Look out for lice and mites. Your youngsters cannot support them and grow into the fine show and breeding stock you would like them to be. If you care for your fowls they will not need your so-called poultry tonics. Surely the Southern people ought to make a success of the chicken business. The mild winters are conducive to heavy egg production, and the early springs favor the growing of early hatched chicks. Get busy, ye Southern chicken folks. Don't expect the pullets of the larger breeders to begin laying as soon as Leghorns hatched at the same time. Leghorns mature at least two months earlier than the heavier breeds. No trouble whatever in disposing of fresh eggs and securing unprecedentedly high prices for them these days. With high meat prices and a high scale of prices for all other farm products, eggs can't help but stay at high figures for some time yet. The busy fowl is never sick. Fresh air and exercise are the best tonics. The breeding stock must be strictly hardy. Unless the fowls are in the best of health, the next generation will be worse off than the present one. A good feed for hens where the fowls are confined within close quarters, is a mixture of the following: Two parts bran, one part corn meal, one part alfalfa meal and one part beef scrap. This, when fed in liberal quantities, will afford a balanced ration for the hens. With over seventy distinct breeds of fowls to select from it always seemed curious to me why some people insisted upon keeping scrub hens. ```markdown ``` Mr. B. W. D. Barnes.

In the annual report of the National league for the protection of Colored Women, a comparison is made of the opportunities afforded the colored woman in the North and in the South for making a livelihood. The statement is made that the situation is much better in the South, and that more industries are opened to the female members of the race in that section than in the Northern stats. The situation which faces the colored woman in the North, especially the untrained Southern woman, presents more difficulties than in the South. Most industries, other than domestic service, are closed to her; domestic service in cities requires training and skill; good temporary lodgings in decent neighborhoods at reasonable cost are hard to find; employment in good families without references is hard to obtain; work in cafes and public restaurants often carries with it great moral risks; the cost of living is double than in her home in the South; good associates are not easily picked up, and when the day's work is done where can she go for recreation? The streets are not safe, and the dance halls and other amusements open to her are worse. The Southern colored woman is very poorly equipped to grapple with this environment. She is usually untrained in domestic service, comes from a rural community, has been urged to leave her home by an employment agent who gets a big fee for her, and leaves her home without sufficient clothes or money and no information about her Nortnern home. She arrives at the Southern port, boards some vessel, whose accommodations are often inadequate, and is given an address or told that she will be met. Often she has not car fare to get across the city after she arrives. Even when she is not the victim of the employment agent she frequently leaves in the same irresponsible way, hoping to find friends or work. Beyond this reckless journey and blunt faith lies man) a story of failure, or want, of crime, of poverty, of disease that might have been avoided had the girl only been safeguarded. The girl who is alone, friendless, penniless and unemployed is deprived of necessary guards to her honesty and morality. The National League for the protection of Colored Women tries first to prevent colored girls from coming North at all, unless they are sure of finding work and have some training. Information is sent out through Southern churches, schools, newspapers, physicians, and business men into the sections of the country where they live telling them of the dangers and how to guard against them, emphasizing the economic and social struggle which they must face, and asking cooperation in either keeping them at home or equipping them for the journey. But many of them will come, and something must be done for them. Norfolk is the point of departure for the North of many girls from the rural districts. A worker has therefore been stationed there to meet incoming boats and trains, to see that passengers too late for trains do not have to sleep in the streets or in unsuitable places; to ascertain if they know where they are going and have an address; to tell them how to take care of their baggage and money; to provide carfare if they are penniless, and to render the many little services which a woman unaccustomed to travel needs. It is not enough to start the traveler aright. Notwithstanding the care given her she meets runners on boats and trains who persuade her that they are her friends, she is robbed or loses the address and may arrive helpless. To supply this need workers meet the boats in Baltimore, Phila- THE NEGRO YOUTH IN BUSINESS. --- This is the day for the young man in business. The Afro-American young man asks himself the question: "How can I get started in business?" Then he proceeds, to tell of the difficulties that beset him when he trys to get where business experience may be obtained. "No colored man need apply." "For white men only," are the signs that greet him. "I am sorry," say the employer, "it is all right with me, but my help and my customers object." How can the Afro-American young man, under these circumstances, get a footing in business? What field of activity can he enter to assume himself a competence, to demonstrate his ability to succeed and to provide himself with the blessings of independence? First of all, the young man who starts out "on his own hook," must have more than monetary ambition. He must be a "sticker" and he should A clothes tree on which to hang unfinished garments is a great convenience in a sewing room.

Often word is received from the South to be on the lookout for helpless girls. They are of all kinds—mothers with children joining their husbands; young women going to summer hotels; girls returning from the South, the majority of whom need help. Even such small service as this—directing them to the right car-line, sending telegrams and letters to their friends who have failed to meet them—protects them from the many imposters and gives them a chance to begin life airst in their new home. Meeting the girls does not solve the problem. If it is a lost address, lodging must be found, and her relatives and friends looked up. It is astonishing how many girls are set straight by getting into a decent lodging place the first night in the city. After this first simple service is performed employment must be found, so employment agencies must be investigated, and a reliable list kept on hand. Sometimes the agent to whom the girl is coming is a procurer for disorderly houses and she must be rescued from him. Again, the agent may hold her baggage, keep her in bondage, and let her out to work as it were, and she must have a strong friend to free her. Later the matron must place her in touch with good amusements, and in this she has to compete with scores of worthless well-dressed young men, who urge the girls to see the town and to earn easy money, that the may wear fine clofnes, such as dazzle their unaccustomed eyes. Matrons placed at the ports mentioned do not give a complete system of protection. Exploitors, to evade them, encourage girls to leave from other ports and arrive at Wilmington or Alexandria, or come by train. To really establish a system of complete protection which will checkmate the exploitation, matrons are sadly needed at Richmond, Savannah and Wilmington. Many of the girls leave Washington by train, and effective work could be done by a matron in the station there. The effort previously made by the National league to reach conditions in the Mississippi valley has resulted this last year in the formation of a local association at Memphis and the appointment of a worker to meet the larger numbers of colored women who conie to the city on excursions, either to see the world a little and return home, or to seek permanent employment, and who are exposed to various temptations and deceptions. In addition to strengthening the work at the points already corroded there is great need of establishing it at many other cities, such as Wilmington, Del, and Boston Atlanta, New Orleans and Cincinnati, and also of improving conditions on board boats. The quarters are in some instances most undesirable; in others there are no stewardesses and robberies are frequent. Often, if conditions were reported directly to officials of the company, they would be remedied and the journey made much safer. The matter of the West Indian colored women requires attention. The numbers are increasing, and while there are matrons to look after them at Ellis Island, they cannot be set adrift in New York city. This in general is the work which the National League for the Protection of Colored Women wishes to keep up, to develop, and put upon a strong basis. It is educational and protective, and industrial in that it lessens unemployment and increases efficiency. The league was organized in 1906, and its headquarters are at No. 43 East Twenty-second street. The organizers: Officers and executive committee: know why he has taken up a certain business. Too many who have saved money are too narrow with their aspirations. Barber shops, restaurants and saloons seem to interest the business seekers most. However, it is a fact that the most notable business success in the country have been by men who branched out along rather odd lines for colored people to think about," as an observer puts it. The Afro-American business man can succeed without confining himself to certain specific fields. And this: These business enterprises are run for the trade, and that means all people, and especially those who have the burden of wealth (you know who they are); and the young man who has ambition today to get into business should think on these things. The old man should encourage the young men, without ceasing. This is the day of the young man.—Richmond Reformer. Do not preach your doubts, nor preach at all until you get rid of them.

THE HAIR PROBLEM SOLVED. Civilization, like nature, in the formation of rocks works slowly but surely, unless hindered by some other influence. That the civilization is responsible for the ideals of a people is a foregone conclusion. This is evidenced in the American Negro today, who, being brought from his native land in a plastic state, has been modeled into another civilization to that of his fatherland. The potter has made of him a Caucasian in civilization, and the "sins of the fathers" are attempting to move the color line. He is only akin to his brother in Africa by blood, save those traditions which take centuries of evolution to blot out. In this respect we know no race so unfortunate in being taught out of his own civilization as the American Negro. The belles and beaux of a tribe or a nation is that person who approaches more nearly the perfection of his particular tribe or race, unless this perfection is interfered with by some prideinent forces e. g., as the African in the American civilization. The native African belle is the blackest female with the thickest lips and the curliest hair. The Malay boasts of his brown skin, the Mongolian his yellow, the Caucasian his white and the African his black. The African maiden uses her charcoal to beautify her skin as often as the American beauty uses her talcum powder for the same purpose. The mother of an African or a Malay babe would consider it as great a misfortune for her babe to be born lighter than its tribe as would be to the Caucasian for a black baby to make its appearance in a light race. The Afro-American is 'nof blessed with these ideals of an own civilization. For years, until recently, our Negro periodicals have been filled with hair-straightening adds. It seems now, that the Negro's short-hair problem has been solved so far as the masses are concerned. The Negro maiden is now able to almost realize her long desire, that of hair dingling down her back and to brush the locks out of her face. The hair dresses has put out of commission the "Kink No More Preparation" with her switches, rats, puffs, wigs, curls, etc. These beautify for the lovers of the American civilization, but those ideals of physical beauty that cannot be handed down to off-springs by reproduction are not to be lauded by a people. They will not make a race's place with the first rated, but will make them slaves to the master's fashion, to perfect as the master makes progress, and especially in those ideals which are peculiarly suited for the beautifying of the masters.—Exchange.

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MAKES RECOMMENDATION FOR CELEBRATING THE FIFTIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF IREEDOM National Negro Business League Makes Recommendations for Proper Celebration Next Meeting of League To Be Held at Little Rock, Arkansas, August 16, 17 and 18, 1911. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(Special.) The executive committee of the National Negro Business league held its midwinter session at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The members of the committee are: J. C. Napier, chairman, Nashville, Tenn.; J. E. Bush, Little Rock, Ark.; S. E. Courtney, M. D. Boston, Mass.; S. A. Furnis, M. D., Indianapolis, Ind.; W. L. Taylor, Richmond, Va.; F. D. Patterson, Greenfield, O.; W. T. Andrews, Sumter, S. C.; J. B. Bell, Houston, Texas; J. C. Thomas, New York City; J. C. Jackson, Lexington, Ky.; M. M. Lewey, Pensacola, Fla.; Robert C. Owens, Los Angeles, Cal.; R. E. Jones, New Orleans, La. Ex-officio; Booker T. Washington, president, Tuskegee, Institute, Ala.; Chas. Banks, first vice president, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary.; Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Gilbert C. Harris, treasurer, Boston Mass. During the three day session many important matters dealing with the strengthening of the national organization were considered. Among other things, it was decided to hold the next meeting of the National Negro Business league at Little Rock, Ark., August 16, 17 and 18, 1911. Messrs. Sciplo A. Jones, president of the Arkansas State Negro Business league, and William Alexander of the local Negro Business league of Little Rock met with the committee in the discussion of plans for the entertainment of the delegates. The Little Rock committees are already at work, and have matters well in hand for the approaching meeting. Probably the most important matter and of general interest to the public, discussed, was the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the Negro people of the United States: At Louisville in 1909, a resolution was passed by the National Negro Business league providing for the holding of a national exposition to commemorate this event. It will be recalled that at the instance of officers of the National Negro Business league, bills were last year introduced in the senate and house of representatives of the national congress, providing for the appointment of a commission to derise ways and means for holding such exposition. These bills were not passed at the last session of congress, because they were brought up under a suspension of the rules and at a time when they required a two-thirds majority, and are still pending. The executive committee after frankly discussing all phases of the matter, unanimously came to the conclusion that in view of the short time that remains, it would probably be impossible to hold a national exposition, such as was planned, that would reflect credit upon the race or snow in any adequate way the progress which has been made by the Negro people during their freedom. For that reason, the memoranda which follow were unanimously adopted by the executive committee, and the suggestions contained therein are earnestly recommended to the consideration of the Negro people throughout the United States, namely: National Anniversary Celebration. 1. In view of the fact that the congress of the United States has thus far failed to make provision as suggested by President Taft in his message to congress for a proper celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the FARM NOTES. When the little chicks begin to appear drowsy and refuse to eat, look out for head lice. Kerosene and sweet oil in equal parts applied daily two or three times will kill lice. Many people say turkeys should be restricted in their range, but we do not believe it. We have raised many turkeys and have always found that the wider the range the better they thrive. Overcrowding is a serious mistake, arrange your room in proportion to the number of fowls. Don't place coops under trees and shrubbery, as plenty of air and sunlight is necessary to their well-being. Don't allow the hen-mother to drag around all day with her brood, as many chicks succumb through exhaustion. The cheapest and best feed for poultry, next to corn, is skim milk. Fed to poultry, this by-product will always bring a good profit. Remember that milk does not take the place of water, and when milk is fed to the fowls should be liberally supplied with fresh water at the same time. The prepared chick feeds on the market furnish the elements for growth and development and are hardly more expensive than the home prepared rations. If the hens are expected to lay heavily during the winter, they must be cared for every month of the year, and fed more heavily as the fall months come on. Some poultry keepers feed their chickens three times a day while others find that twice is sufficient. For the inexperlenced breeder it probably would be better to feed three times a day. emancipation of the Negro in the United States; In view of the further fact that should congress now make an appropriation we fear the time would be too short to enable us to carry out a celebration in the form as first planned; Therefore, we, the executive committee of the National Negro Business league, advise that the race should not await the expected action of congress, and suggest instead of the large central exposition as first planned, that the celebration should take the following form: 2. That the third week in October 1913, be set aside for the celebration, and be known as Fiftieth Anniversary week. 3. That instead of a central exposition, the schools, churches and all other societies and organizations in each community unite and cooperate for the purpose of holding a local celebration; tails celebration to take the form of an exposition of the progress in commercial, professional, moral, intellectual and religious directions made by the race in that community. 4. We suggest that where it is possible these expositions be held in connection with existing county or state fair organizations; it will not be necessary to change the regular date for holding such county, or state fairs. 5. Wherever it seems feasible, the county or the state should be made the unit of organization for the celebration instead of the local community. 6. We advise that special effort be made to secure in addition to the physical exposition, a program of appropriate speeches and other literary features; the speakers to be as far as possible the strongest and best men that can be obtained, North and South. 7. We advise that wherever possible an effort be made to secure city, county or state aid to carry out the plans of the local committee. 8. We suggest that, in case money is secured from congress, it be apportioned among the states, to be expended under the control of the governor, or some other state authority, in proportion to the number of colored people residing in the different commonwealths. 9. We believe that the plans here outlined have several advantages over the plans previously proposed: (a) First, it makes it possible to put the whole race to work in planning and preparing for the exposition and celebration suggested. (b) It will enable more people to see the progress the Negro has made, than would be possible if they had to travel many miles to some central exposition. 10. In conclusion, we strongly urge that our people begin now to plan and prepare for Fiftieth Anniversary week and that this be made at once a means and an occasion for calling attention of the world to the immense progress the Negro race in America has made during fifty years of free dom. It is the earnest hope and desire of the executive committee of the National Negro Business league that the above suggestions shall be read be fore the various churches, lodges and other organizations, to the end that the Fiftieth Anniversary week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere.

Cuticura Soap for bathing the face as often as agreeable. Cuticura soap and ointment are equally successful for itching, burning, scaly and clusted humors of the skin and scalp, with loss of hair, from infancy to age, usually affording instant relief, when all else falls.

It has the pedigree that will show he descended from that horse and looks like him in every particular." "Yes, so much so," said Senator Daniel, "that I am inclined to believe it is the same horse."

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Washington's birthday was celebrated hereby the unveiling of the tablet at Spring Hill redoubt, opposite the baggage room of the Central of Georgia depot, where was the main scene of the Battle of Savannah during the Revolutionary war. As at Bunker Hill, the ever present and useful Negro was there and did his part in behalf of the American and French forces. Some weeks ago the colored citizens of Chicago raised in a short time many thousands of dollars for the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building. In Philadelphia a similar effort was successfully carried through in a few days. In Atlanta, the colored citizens pledged to raise $50,000 for a R. M. C. A. building. This sum has already been subscribed and now they are reaching for $75,000 and they will undoubtedly reach the goal. The colored citizens of Savannah are equally as able and as intensely patriotic and race-loving as those in the cities named, and are in a position to accomplish just as much, if they only would. Now we have an effort on foot to raise $6,000 to purchase a site for the erection of a library building. This is a small amount and should be raised in a short time. Let us all get above, feeling and labor for the raising of this sum, thus showing that we are anxious and will do for ourselves. When you are called upon to subscribe, do so readily and liberally. A few days ago a certain young gentleman having learned of the good which other cities have gotten out of their local business leagues and having seen the impetus which they invariably have given to public affairs decided that he would sound a few of the leading business men in this city on the matter. Therefore, he began broaching the subject to those of our men of public affairs whom he would meet on the streets and in their various offices and was agreeably surprised to find that without exception they were all in favor of such a movement being started. Thereupon he began getting a few names so as to have a nucleus to start with and right here was the beginning of the end of this seemingly much desired project and the unravelling of a status of affairs such as can scarcely be found in other city. Of course the first man whose name was asked to start off this very necessary movement was gladly and willingly given but when the second and almost all subsequent men were approached on the matter and asked to attach their names to the list of those who were to further the interests of this proposed business league they in no uncertain terms objected to some other man's name and therefore refused. At first the young man who had his heart set upon seeing permanently established in his home town a business league of much promise was greatly disappointed at meeting with so many refusals and set to work to find out what it was that caused so many of the men whom he had sounded and whose approval he had secured to withhold their names and after carefully and thoroughly investigating the affair, came to the conclusion that it was simply a matter of petty jealousies, personal differences or imaginary wrongs that stood in the way of the successful organization of such an essential movement as this. But to those who are conversant with conditions in Savannah, this is not to be marvelled at for innumerable have been the times when men of great intelligence, of unquestioned business tact and supposedly far-seeing insight have wrangled and refused to work genially together because some one of them was asked to take the initiative. This is a common case among us and those little petty grievances which we have harbored against one another for some one reason or another, have been and are the causes of our present indifference to public enterprise and will if not checked in the near future be the means of thwarting every worthy movement started among us. The time has far since passed when we should allow our personal differences to enter into business and public life and we must be broad enough to hold under. subjection our personal feelings, when the good of our people in general is at stake. The Negroes of Savannah are as loyal and as anxious to support their leaders as will be found any where and all that is necessary, to demonstrate it is for the leaders to get together and work harmoniously and the people will fall in line. Resented Insult With Resounding Slaps. It was on the crowded corner of Barnard and Broughton streets last Saturday night, about the hour when it is very difficult to move through the crowd, when a respectable appearing colored lady worked her way toward the street car. She was accosted by a white fellow who undoubtedly insulted her, for immediately one of her little hands found its way in the white fellow's face and the resounding whacks could be easily heard amidst the din of the streets. The white fellow was jeered by the crowd and skulked away, while the plucky lady made her way to the car. The action of this lady deserves commendation. Many are the reports about the insulting actions of a certain class of white men toward our inoffensive women, especially the younger ones. The summary punishment by this lady should be imitated by others whenever they are accosted by those insulting fellows. Essentials for Success Civicly and Otherwise. To the Editor of The Tribune: Dear Sir: There are several forms of cowardice to which men are subject. I shall mention but one which is of frequent occurrence these days and which causes unnecessary trouble. I refer to the brutal assaults made upon colored people by outsiders while they are in the custody of an officer who instead of protecting them has looked on quietly while they were assaulted. Here's another form of cowardice. A few weeks ago in the neighborhood of Bay street two white men got in a row when the handy pistol of one started to put in some telling shots in the other. The white citizens who witnessed it instead of "arresting" the "pistol toter" as they would, have done if "Cuffy" were the aggressor simply looked on and permitted the would be murderer to go about his business. Now it seems to me that the same courage (?) which impels members of the dominant race to "arrest" Negroes accused of crime ought to stimulate them to do likewise when members of their own race violate the law so openly. A number of short sighted people inveigh against the education of the Negroes, but in spite of the fact that there are some "educated fools" amongst us "as there are amongst all races" it is to the educated Negro of sound common sense and tact that we are to look for genuine prosperity in our land as well as for the cordial and peaceful relations between the races which the well thinking people of both races hope and pray for. It is impossible for the crude and illiterate to foresee the pernicious consequences of their ill timed words and deeds, hence the awful catastrophes which occur now and then. Let me illustrate by two incidents that I saw in the city recently. Passing the site of the new bank being erected at Bull and Bryan streets, they were lifting steel beams from a dray. A colored man of some schooling was about to ride by on his wheel, but so soon as he saw that by riding in front of the mules might have frightened them and caused them to run away he dismounted and went by as quietly as possible. Walking on Bull St. the other evening the same party happened to meet some long shoremen who were near some women of the opposite race. Seeing that if he kept on the side walk the women would be postied he took to the street and thus "saved the day." Now, I believe in my rights as much as any man, but I believe too, that everything that is lawful is not expedient the fact, then, that the practical and sensible educated Negro is a valuable asset to the community ought to be an incentive to the white people to do all in their power for his education. By the way! what's become of our new school? I say Mr. Editor are you till favor of any particular Church being favored with funds from the Board of Education to support the schools in which their religion is being taught as the foremost study? A word about that admirable lecture by Dr. McCormack of Kentucky to the white physicians on Wednesday night Feb. 15th. I was particularly struck with that portion of his address in which he said that his "conception of a physician was that he should be a leader in the community, the cleanest man in it, clean in speech and, in morals, a leader of opinion and the best cultured." Please don't think for a moment that I have any grudge against our physicians nor do I mean to belittle them. In the ranks of that noble calling are some very conscientious and serupulous men. But this cannot be said of all. Of course some one will say quickly: "The same is true of the whites." Quite true! but the odds are against the Negro every time, he is the "under dog" in this land of liberty; hence he cannot afford to copy the bad traits of his white brother. Our colored physicians ought never to forget the prejudice of our own people to them. It is true that that prejudice was a heritage of the past regime, but it is nevertheless true. And while the skilled and gifted colored physicians have done much to overcome this prejudice (there are families in Savannah today who are talking up the colored "doctor" who fifteen or twenty years ago would sooner have had a polar bear in their homes than one of their own medical men) it still exists in a measure, and it remains for them to do their best in order to overcome every remnant of it. It seems to be the popular notion that a Van Dyke board and a fine turnout are the prime requisites to be a successful physician. This is a mistake. I fear that too many of our young men are studying medicine who lack the proper literary training for the conception of such a noble science. Raw, uncouth youths from the grammar schools are those mostly found in our medical schools today. The white man will make the sacrifice to take a full college course so that he may be well fitted to study for one of the professions. Let our youth do likewise. If our physicians are to measure swords with other races their training should be the best. They should also make the sacrifice to pursue, post graduate courses and visit occasionally the vantage points in the large cities in order to keep in thorough touch with all that's new and helpful. Their offices, and operating rooms (especially in the case of dentists) should be models of neatness. Another point that Dr. McCormack made was that the physician should be a "clean man; clean in speech and in morals." It is the thought of many persons that clergymen are the only ones who ought to be clean in speech and in morals. They seem to think that the moral law is not obligatory upon them and that they are at liberty to do as they please, a great mistake! There are physicians who are most careful-in their attire, most punctualities in keeping their appointments, most skillful in the practice of medicine but who possess a vulgar and "smutty" tongue that makes them repellent to the chaste and soberminded who refuse to employ them. It is this sort of physician that keeps away from the nurse training schools a type of woman who would be an honor to the profession. There are physicians who in the operating room, despite the presence of the female nurses indulge in the most "smutty talk" as though because these women are nurses they are not still ladies. The writer knows of physicians who are losing out with many a well bred family because of this unfortunate "dirty tongue." Then, too, the physicians must be strictly honest in his dealing with the patients and the public. He ought not for the sake of a paltry twenty-five cents to sign questionable sick or death "benefits." His knowledge of medical jurisprudence and the ethics of the profession in general should prevent him from malpractice of any kind whether it be the performance of an unlawful operation or the dispensing of a drug under the ban of the law. The physician like other professional men must be well educated so that he ought to be a cultured gentleman. He must be courteous and polite to a fault. Ill bred, brusque people never make their mark in anything but rudeness. The story is told of two physicians who lived opposite each other. One though very skillful was very brusque in his manner and of course had but few patients. The other, though not so skillful was overrun with patients. On being asked the reason he said that he was prospering through the rudeness of his neighbour. The young doctor needs to take along in his medical grip a good dose of good manners; people will overlook more quickly his failure to diagnose a case correctly than they will his rudeness. He doesn't need to wait, however, until he enters upon the practice of his profession to be well mannered; he needs to cultivate it now for there are some things that some people never forget. I have heard of a young law student who met his old teacher on several occasions without so much as speaking to him. It was in the dear old man's school that the boy had learned his first letters. But the lad would never salute him. By the time he came to practice law it was generally known that he had no manners judging from his treatment to his old master and as a consequence he was shunned to such an extent that he was obliged to hang out his shingle elsewhere. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. Mt. Zion Church. We are still engaged in our revival services and are striving to the best of our ability to save the unsaved. on last Sunday a large attendance witnessed the morning service and immediately after the service baptism took place. At 4 p.m. the communion service took place and there were many visiting friends who, together with the members, caused the seating capacity to be filled from the pulpit to the door. The choir was permitted to remain down stairs and all seem to enjoyed this service very much. At night the attendance was almost the same as the afternoon The collections were good Rev. T. A. Lomax is now with us. one out and hear him and help us in our struggle. Don't forget the 4th Sunday in March; a great big day with us All visiting friends, well wishers and the public in general are asked to visit our services which will be continued to an indefinite length of time. F. A. B. Church. F. A. B. Church. In the absence of the pastor Rev. W. L. Jones last Sunday, Rev. S. R. Gibson a State Missionary, supplied the pulpit. At the 11:30 o'clock a. m. service, he preached from Hebrews a. 12:18-20. Subject "The Sacred Mountains." The mountains discussed were Mt. Zion, Mt. Tabor and Mt. Calvary. The sermon was indeed edifying, and logically defined, what made the mountains mentioned sacred. At the 8:30 o'clock service he selected his text from the Eighth Division of the Psalms, 3rd and 4th verses, and took for his subject, "Man." The Evening Calls Aid and Social Club and Juveniles attended in a body and listened very attentively to the able discourse, out of which was produced helpful advices to them. Aside from making neat donations to the preacher, choir, sexton, poor saints of the church; the young men donated $10.00 towards the church's rally now in progress. The church bid the club God's speed. The funeral of Mr. J. Gadson took place at the church on Tuesday and was attended by the Masonic Order of which he was a member, a number of friends, acquaintances and members of the church. The pastor officiated. In the death of Mr. Gadson the church has lost a dutiful member, on next Wednesday, (March 1st) the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of this city will hold their "Peter Ogden's day" celebration in this church. The sixteen Lodges of the city will no doubt be largely represented. The program promises to be real interesting, and will commence at 11:00 o'clock in the morning. Hon. B. J. Davis of Atlanta, Ga., will be the principal speakers of the day. You are invited to be present. The church is spacious enough to give every one a comfortable seat. Mr. R. N. Rutledge, will act as Master of Ceremonies. At the church's conference on Monday night last, a Board of Deaconesses was formed, which promises to assist in many ways the deacons, in caring for the number of sick members. The finance report of the church was stayed until the March Conference, at which time the pastor and officers prevail in having a large attendance to hear the doings of the church for the past year. Each member is asked to make his report in the Rally, the Second Sunday in March without fail. F. B. B. Church. F. B. B. Church On Sunday night, Rev. Wright read for the lesson Matt. 9:1-13. His text was from Matt. 9:12. The subject was, "Christa Physician." In his introduction, Rev. Wright gave a striking illustration of some of the most dreaded diseases of the body and the various treatments by skilled doctors. So many times, he said, the disease baffles the skill of the doctors and proves fatal to its victim. It is not so with the diseases of the soul-for Christ is able to cure any disease and save any sinner, no matter what his saints may have been. The sermon was certainly an excellent lesson to all. The choir sang, "Welcomed by the Master." Rev. Wright led the hymn, "Come Weary Sinners." He earnestly invited sinners to the mercy seat. A large crowd bowed and prayer was offered. The B. Y. P. U. is rendering very interesting services every Sunday from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. Do not forget our prayer meetings on Tuesday nights St. Benedict's Church. Gaston and East Broad Streets.

On Sunday the March number of St. Benedict's will be given out; it contains much interesting reading, and has a picture of the New School on 36th, street, the brick work of which is nearly completed. If you go to the Southern section of the city, do not fail to inspect the building; it will show to you that it will be a splendid school of which we have reason to be proud. Next Wednesday, being Ash Wednesday, the ashes will be blessed at the first Mass and will be distributed in the morning and after the night service. It is an old touching custom in the Catholic Church to bless emily the ashes on the first day of Lent and to put them on the forehead of the people, to remind them of the necessity of doing penance during the necessity of doing penance during the Station of the Cross. Next Wednesday, Father Charles O. S. B. of the Sacred Heart Church, will preach a special sermon. The public is cordially invited. Special instructions will be given during Lent to the children who are preparing themselves for their First Holy Communion. St. Benedict's congregation will receive with regret the news of the death of Professor Weld, the Principal of the Beach Institute. The late Professor, a Christian gentleman in the true sense of the word, was always kindly disposed to the Catholics and was ready to render us any service in his power. To the family of the deceased and to the teachers of the Beach Institute we offer our warmest sympathy. The Professor will be sadly missed by the students of the school. May he rest in peace. St. Phillips Dots A splendid congregation was out at both morning and evening services on last Sunday to hear Rev. Singleton deliver two interesting discourses. At the morning services the second Epistle of Paul to Timothy 1-19 "Nevertheless the Foundation of God Standeth Sure."

The great success attendant upon the recent rally at the Ashbury A.M.E. church speaks in no uncertain terms of the efficient and faithful work of the members of that thrifty church.

Under the careful leadership of Rev. Daughtry, great things are predicted for this church and their progress will be watched with much interest.

Shall we have a ministry fully abreast of the times in which we live? or shall we have the pulpit so much ahead of the pew as will give the lat: ter an unquestionable confidence In the ability of tae former to lead, teach and give such advice and counsel in matters domestic, civic and ecclesias- tle as will secure the respect and appreciation of an intelligent follow- ing? . ‘These questions are all involved in that of an educated mimstry and as the progressiveness of this country necessitates or dictates au affirmative roply to the questions, evalved out of the original question, so must the sub- fect of our inquiry be answered in tho affirmative, ““Shall we nave an edu- cated ministry?” Why? 1. Because the ministry of every age ought to be equal, educatfonally, to the ever increasing demands of that age; and for the ministry of the twentieth century to be intellectually Inferlor to the laity of said century will show the former to be unprogres- sive, unworthy because meapable of leadership and: far bebind the munls- try of the wenturles which ‘fave pre- ceded.

Because to be educated for the ministry or any of the learned profes- sions means to be prepared for the intelligent discharge of our duties, domestic, civil, ecclestastic or profes: sional; afd since preparation is abso- lutely necessary to the successful ca- reer of the teacher, physician, lawyer, scientist, statesman, warrior, artist, mechanic, and in fact for men in all the different walks of life, it must at- so be absolutely necessary for the minister of the gospel, whose oifice is the most dignitied, responsible ana Important on earth, Tse office of the Christian ministry {s so grave, aw: tul and welghty with responsibfities that to enter upom its duties unpre- pared or uneduckted will be to place one’s self among those when our Lord characterizes as “blind feaders of tae bind,” and whose end will be des- truction, . 4, Because an educated ministry will, in the main, bo a moral ministry; and since the practice cf morality or moral virtues can not be «diversed from the theory of teaching of rolig- fon, which Inculcates the living of pure lives; and since the ministry 18 life must be consistent with its teact- ings so as to make them resultant In the edification of bellevers, the clc- vation of the degraded and the purill- cation of corrupt soclety—it follaws that as a help to the ministry to live moral, healthy and exeniplary lives, it must be educated not alone by the letter but bythe spirit 3. Because the ministry is repre- sentative of the highest interests which can ever effect the welfare of man; and inasmuch as no nation or governinent will think of sending an ignorant ambassador or representative to treat with a foreign power on mat- ters diplomatic, and since the munis- ter of the gospel fs the ambassador of the “King of kings,” {t must there- OUT OF THE GINGER JAR.

Because of our Lord’s exampie im first educating, training or prepar- ing the apostles for thet: work be fore his commissioning them to “go jinto all the world and preach the gos- pel to every creature.” Here is an example of training before sending, cr preparation before work, a pattern for them to follow and our authority for an educated ministry, But say the jadvocates of an unlearned ministry— “did not the author of the Acts say, That the apostles Peter and John were unlearned and ignorant men?" ’ Yes, but what of that? Does It mean that the apostles were untutored men? Surely not; for they matriculat- ed in and graduated from that college ‘ot which Christ was principal, presi- dent—the College of the Apostles. In this college, composed of apostles themselves, they received as students fa course of training covering a period lot nearly three years. Now, if this is So, may we not Inquire the mean- ing of the phrase, “ublearned and ig- jHorant?” The term “unlearned” in [its application im this conneteion, ‘means that the aposties (excepting [St, Paul) were men who had not re- jeelved a liberal educatfon such as wag then obtainable in the Jewisa lschools of rabbinical learning, They were not men of professional training, but men of ordinary attainments such jas any Jew might possess, or know!- ledge such as any Jew thight have ot the Jewish scriptures. ‘Tho other term, “ignorant,” means that Peter lana John were “Plebians,” mon of no rank or influence. | ‘The conclusion arrived at is, taat! the argument advanced py the advo- ates of an unlearnéd ministry and supported by the pbrase unearned jand ignorant as applied to Peter and John as not only wntenable, but as fallacious and“contrary to the plain lexample of Christ. ; | When a man realizes a call to preach or feels inwardly moved by the Holy Spirit thus to act, the thing rehich sould first engage his atten- tion is his intellectual fitness for such a great work; being convinced that he is capable. his next duty’ should be preparation for the acqui- sition of useful knowledge. God calls no man into the ministry to live an idle and dissolute life. The [God-called preacher is studious, He. raily qualities ~himself—the head, heart, mind, soul and body—for als work. To have goéd lungs and good voice are insufficient for him. ite feels that he must know In order to reach; Hience he is a plodding and ta- fborious student of men and things.

We must have an educated minis try because Scriptures recognize and ‘enjoin the same. Samuel the prophet, priest aud organizer, retormer and Judge, in order to give permanence and effectiveness to the prophetical funetions; to be prepared for the new lepoch and the chnnge of government from the theocratic to the monar jchial, instituted the schuols of the prophets, the pupils of which are call- ea the sons of the prophets. These schools or colleges of the propaets were analagoys to our divinity and theological seminaries; for the rea son that they were established for ithe purpose of preparing, educating jand training young men for. the pro- phetic or ministrefal office. Sunch schools were instituted at Ramah (Is. 19:19), Bethel (II Xings 3), Jeriche and Gilgal (4:33.) Jehovaa says; ‘1 will give you pag tors according to mine heart which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.’ (Jer, 3:33.) The priest life should keep knowt edze and they, the people, shoud seek the law at his mouth. Why? Because he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. The people were m- structed by Higgal (2:11) as follows: “Ask now the priest concerning the law.” It was the preseribed duty of priests to teach the children of Israci all the statues which the Lord hath spoken them by the hand of Moses (Lev. 10:12) The duty of the hour fs for the’ church to See that the scholarly cul- ture of tae pulpit is not behind that of the pew, in order that a greater amount of practical sympathy may ex- ist between these two great and po- tent factors to the end that the mass- es of the people may be intellectually benefited morally elevated and finally saved. * | Further, an educated ministry 1s a necessity when we consider that the doctrines of the Bible are to be taught, its laws intelligently interpre ted, its theology intelligently under- stood. In this connotcion we wonld enter a plea for theological semina- rles for the Christian ministry; a preparation winch the ministry of the present century cannot well afford to dispense with if success is to be achieved in its line of work. ‘A ministry that will be bighty rep- resentative and efficient wherever called or appointed to serve tae church, race or goverament, is the need of the hour, Let the watchword ot the colored churches that-shall re- sound and reecho on mountain top or in valley below; on plain, in elty, in town, in hamlet, ih village; at_the fireside, in the church, in the sthool room; ‘and from the lakes on the noyth to the gulf on tho South, and from the Atlantic on the Kast to the Pacific on the \West, let the watch- word, 1 say, be an educated, conse- erated and progressive ministry, a ministry that will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder on tae same in- tellectual platform, and measure intel- iegtudl swords In the potential arena, if necessary; a ministry whose ranks shall be filled with good men, “full :of falth ond of the Holy Ghost;” turning the word upside down,” .and,spread- Ing Scriptural holiness all over tho land.

It gives the long slender V neck not obtainable by round collars, and is in line with tashions that are coming—fashions of days gone by when everybody turned in the front of the dress waist to form a V which was then ornamented by lace bands laid on flat or filled in by flat lace or ruching and often finished only by a velvet band or one of silk and a huge round broach. The younger set still elong to the round collar which last fall threatened to enlarge into a cape. The same collar has, in some instances, now diminished in size until it is merely a narrow curved band about two inches wide and is called the "Jane Eyre" because of its resemblance to the neckwear of the period in which the novel of that name was written. Some of the latest round collars show more embroidery than lace. In this variety the Madelia collars are attractive, and combinations of hand embroidery bordered with Irish lace are also extremely rich in effect. Jabots and ties are in many instances provided to match the collars mentioned. Considerable color in the way of Persian and plain silks is seen in neckwear and appears in pipings and sometimes in the jabots portion entire with either chiffon, net or lace as a combining feature. Stocks that are separate are also combinations of chiffon lace, and colored pipings and can be fairly well matched up to jabots of the same class. STRIKING EFFECT. A very striking effect, like gold embroidery, is achieved by appliquing velvet motifs on chiffon. The velvet is couched to the chiffon under an edge of braid, or is—as in this instance—embroidered on the chiffon at the edge. The gown pictured, a dressy model for theater and reception wear, is of navy blue chiffon over cerise calfion, both feelings tailing above a slip of white satin. The hem and long sleeves of dark blue velvet complete the rich trimming effect of the pile fabric used with the sheer chiffon. NEW STREET COSTUME The soft-colored corduroys are quite as smart as velvet itself for little wear. Indeed a coruory suit is much more satisfactory than one of a cheaper grade of velvet. Dark smoke gray corduroy was used for this modish little costume, which has the fitted basque effect below the waist that is the last Paris notion. There is a r-shaped collar of black velvet, pointed cuffs also; and the hat, a mildwinter model, is of black velvet, with trimmings of white kid. PANTRY SHELVES. Put a few extra layers of paper on the shelves, so that when one be comes soiled it can easily be removed, leaving a clean one beneath it. TO CUT CHEESE SMOOTHLY. To cut cheese smoothly and without breaking, fold tissue or paraffin paper over the knife blade. HANDKERCHIEFS. Drop the handkerchiefs, before washing, into cold water to which has been added a little borax and plenty of soap. Boil thoroughly. Rinse in two waters. They will be white as snow and perfectly clean. TRAVELING BAGS. A set given to a bride recently consisted of a dozen bags and three squares, the latter a yard long and three-quarters of a yard wide. Each was intended for a gown, the theory being that if the garment were folded neatly, laid within the square and pinned in tightly the folds would not come out and less room would be occupied than if the dress were in a box. The bags are fourteen inches long and six wide. One end is left open. The whole bag is bound with white linen tape, stitched on by machine, the white going across the top and having there two ends with which to tie the top together. Also at the top of each bag is the owner's initials, done in back stitch, in the natural writing of the giver. For these letters white linen thread is used. The squares are tape bound, and there are initials in the middle. But as the space is large, and outlined letters would be lost, these are done in white cross stitch, in plain block form. MARSHMALLOW FUDGE. Put two cupfuls of granulated sugar and one cupful of cream or rich milk in a saucepan and beat. Add two squares of chocolate, grated, and boil until it hardens when dropped in cold water. When nearly done add a level teaspoonful of butter, little by little, and a half pound of marshmallows, crushing and stirring with a spoon. Add the last of the marshmallows after the fudge is taken from the fire. Four into buttered pans and when nearly cold cut into cubes. ```markdown ``` HEALTH. Physicians frequently prescribe raw eggs for people of enfeebled constitutions as well as for dyspeptics and consumptives. The patient not infrequently "turns against" the diet, even when the egg is beaten up in milk, and it is not an easy thing to swallow a raw egg—as one does an oyster, though that is the proper way to "down it." As one puts vinegar salt and pepper on a raw oyster to help it down, so one may trim up an egg with a little lemon juice or a tablespoonful of wine. The easiest way is to beat it up in milk; thus the good value is increased and it is quite palatable, especially if a little sugar is added. One woman who has had the raw egg treatment prescribed for her has handily struck upon the idea of using a tall, thin glass with a narrow mouth. Sne says that this sort of glass keeps the egg from spreading over the mouth and the top of the glass as well, and at the same time gives it a good start. THE WORK DRESS. The sensible housekeeper who values her health and wishes to make the most of her appearance, always provides a special dress for house work. The most satisfactory plan for such a dress is to have skirt and waist fastened to the same band, as a dress made this way is easier to slip on than one made with the waistband and skirt separate. The sleeves are most comfortable if they are made elbow length. The neck may have a low collar, though perhaps the most comfortable way is to make a little square or Dutch neck, and trim it with a band of white linen or embroidery. Fasten the waist in the back. Black and white, or blue and white checks' or stripes make pretty dresses if made in this fashion. A PROVIDENT PLAN. Here is a plan used in one New England family. During January or February each member of the family is presented with a piece of white cardboard. These slips are tacked on the cupboard door, inside, of course the name of the owner on the top of each slip. As they think of talings they want during the year they place them on this list; and from these lists the remainder of the family choose what they shall give. Of course, no one expects to receive all that is on their list, as these are only meant as a help in selecting gifts. AN AMUSEMENT ECONOMY. Provide a box or closet for the children's toys. Even a young child may be taught to gather up and put away his playthings when done with them. Do not make the mistake of giving a child too many toys for amusement at one time. "Enough is as good as a feast," even in this instance. A wise mother I knew provided her small son with one or two simple toys at a time, holding the others in reserve until such time as these ceased to prove attractive. The last toy always seemed to be the best, so the child thought, and he was thus provided with amusement for hours TO FRESHEN WASH DRESSES. When wash dresses are mussed without being soiled, sponge with cold starch and press. The starch is made by dissolving a teapotful of starch in a cupful of cold water to which a pinch of borax has been added. MAKING YOUR HOSE LAST. I used to be terribly hard on silk stockings until I found a remedy which makes them last for years. Before you wear them, wash them, darn the heels with coarse silk embroidery floss and toes also if they wear through quickly, although I discovered that if you buy silk hose half a size larger than you usually buy, holes in the toes do not come half so quickly. Garters will not tear your stockings if you saw a piece of ribbon an inch wide inside the stocking where the garter comes. If they ravel into Jacob's ladders, mend with embroidery floss, and it will hold where ordinary silk would not. Also be sure to wash them often, for perspiration more than actual wear shortens the life of silk stockings. SAVE SALT BAGS. They will make useful poultices. If dried beans are kept in them they will not get weevil. By cutting a thumbhole in one side of the bag it can be made into a convenient glove for polishing the stove Fashion Notes. In Jackets we may talk with safety of a complete change. All sorts of styles, reaching just below the hips and barely to the hips, are being shown. These little jackets will have big sleeves of moire and equally big cuffs. Silk and satin flowers, each petal edged with beads, are used on the crown and under the crim of an even ing hat.

V. Spell of this place, "and was not able to be up and tend to my dutles. We consulted our family doctor, and he advised me to try Cardul, which I did, and soon began to feel better. I got able to be up and help do my housework. "I continued to take your medicine, and I am now able to do my housework and to care for my children, and I do not feel as though I could ever thank you enough for the benefits I have received. I shall-heartily recommend Cardul to all similarly afflicted, for I think your medicine a Godsend to all women." Cardui is successful, because it contains ingredients that act on the weak womanly organs. They are imported especially from Europe, by us, and are not in general use nor for sale at drug stores, except in the form of Cardul. As a result of the experience of over 50 years, Cardul is now known as a medicine for women, of real merit, that can always be depended on. Please try it. N. B—Write to Ladies' Advisory Dept.

His Head Was Hard It is a common belief that the negro's head is hard, capable of withstanding almost any blow. The following story told of a prominent young dentist of Danville, ill, would seem to indicate something of the kind, anyhow. Two negro men were employed on tearing down a three-story brick building. One negro was on top of the building taking off the bricks and sliding them down a narrow wooden chute to the ground, some thirty feet below, where the other was picking them up and piling them. When this latter negro was stooping over to pick up a brick, the former accidentally let one fall, striking him directly on the head. Instead of its killing him, he merely looked up, without rising, and sigd: "What you doin' thar, nigger, you made me bite my tongue."—The Circle.

S. M. GIBS MIGHT HAVE COME EARLIER Admirer of Musician Must Have Felt Truth of the Answer He Received. Signor Puccini, although celebrated all over the world for his operas, is still a young man. On the subject of his early success the Italian composer said recently in New York: "I have been very lucky. Recognition for artistic work comes so often after one is too old to enjoy it. "I remember one of my countrymen, a centenarian, who, had he died before seventy, would never have seen any of his operas produced. Luckily he lived to so great an age that he received for many years the admiration he deserved. Naturally enough, though, this splendid artist regretted his years of obscurity and neglect, and he frequently spoke bitterly of his bad fortune. "Once, at the very end of his long life, an Englishman entered his box at the opera in Rome, and sald respectfully: "I have traveled all the way from London to see the author of my favorito opera." "The veteran composer, with a malicious smile, replied: "Well, by friend, I have given you plenty of time to get here." Woman as Bank Cashier.

A librarian of the Bibliotheque Nationale, the “Semaine Literaire” ‘ells its readers, recently came upon 1 document which enabled him to ess “le secret de Catherine de Vredicis” This was nothing less than the conquest of the two Ameri- tas. The document in question is a map, dated 1584, in which both North and South America were marked out 2s being French colonies. This discovery put the finder on the way io obtain some proofs of the projects of this ambitious queen. She had named, it seems, two viceroys— Troile de Mergonez was to reconquer the north of the continent, and Ad- miral Strozzi was to take possession of Brazil, after having driven the Portuguese out of the Azores. ‘The two viceroys actually sailed, fur- hished with secret and signed orders, tet an unkind fate ordained that 'Troile should be shipwrecked and Btrozzi defeated and killed in a bat- Ye off the Azores. The death of both the leaders brought the royal ~project to naught, and nothing would have been known of it but for the diligence and perspicuity of the learned librarian. DIANA OF PHILADELPHIA Handsome Ancient Coin That Is Pre- served in the Mint In City of Brotherly Love. At the mint in Philadelphia are a number of coins far more precious than any which find their way into tirculation. They are a collection of curios, and many of them date from times of great antiquity. Perhaps the most interesting among them is a handsome coin bearing on its face the profile of a Woman, which has a striking re- semblance to the Goddess of Liberty bf our own currency. Underneath is a single word “Demos,” which is the Greek for people. On. the reverse of the coin is a beautiful figure of the Goddess Diana, arching her bow, ‘and the inscription, translated into English, reads, “Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians.” ‘The coin was minted more than 2,000 years.ago at the city of Phils- delphia, in Asia Minor, where there yrew up in later years one of the ‘seven churches of which St. John writes. The prize was discovered yome years ago in Europe by a citi- ven of our own Philadelphia, him- vlf an authority on coins. By him it was appropriately presented to the mint in Philadelphia.

It is against the rules of the company for a captain to take his wife as passenger; eo when the Camoens left Manchester, November 19, last, for a voyage to Rio de Ja- neiro and New York, his fiancee, Miss S. 0. Spiby, accompanied him as a traveler, chaperoned by a friend. From thé Brazilian port Miss Spiby and her chaperon accompanied the captain to New York. ~ Another rule of the line interposed a barrier to the continued compan- ionship of the sweethearts. Through an agreement with the other English lines, s Lamport & Holt bost may not take passengers from this port eastward. Only cargo goes. The other companies refrain from taking cargo from Manchester, direct. So Miss Spiby and her friend sailed on the Oceanic. The Camoens also sailed, and Captain Trinick watehed his bethrothed overhaul him and go by.

But every- thing we hear is good. “A friend of mine has brought back from Dunfermline a story about Mr. Carnegie and an old woman. “Mr. Carnegie, the ‘laird’ of Ski- bo, was making some improvements in Dunfermline, and one day, at the ‘noon hour, an old woman appeared on the scene with a sack. She hur- riedly filled her sack with chips and bits of wood from the work, and then she turned to a handsome, genial, gray-bearded man and said: “Hi, laddie, gie us a lif wi’ this sack afore the laird comes.’ “Thereupon the laird of Skibo promptly helped the woman to escape from himself.” .

A noted case tried in the reign of the conqueror, with Otho, bishop of Bayeux, presiding os judge, has been erroneously supposed tobe the first jury case on record. A dispute had arisen about certain lands, to which the sheriff laid claim on behalf of the king. All the men in the county were assembled and sworn to say the truth, Eventually they found for the sheriff. The judge, dissatisfied with the verdict directed the men of the county to choose out of their number 12, who should upon their oaths, confirm the verdict if they thought fit. This they did. Authori- ties now agree, however, that the chosen 12 were not jurors, but mere- ly compurgators, sworn to give evi- dence, The legal existence of jurors was first recorded under the Plante- genets.

This is the “thirsty cane.” Why do men drink? Because other men insist on standing them drinks. Many a big business deal is done over a glass, nowhere more so than In French cafes, and drummers would lose half their custom if they refused an appetizer offered by a customer, to whom they must of course stand an- other in return. The cane makes them temperate by drinking for them. Here .is the inventor's description of it: | “The cane {s hollow. The bandle is plerced with several holes and a rub- ber tube inside forms a syphon. The alr belng expelled, the lquid is suck- ed up. The cane is emptied simply by turning a valve and the liquid ab- sorbed can be poured Into the street on leaving the saloon.” a The cane Is warranted to hold from ‘six to ten aperitifs, according to size. It ia simple to use, as the top need only ba put into the liquid at Intervals when the other man {s not looking. The hollow cane reminds one of the “yards of ale” of medieval England. The yard was a glass measure three feet long. At one end was a bulb holding about half a pint, at the oth- er was 2 trumpet-shaped mouthpiece, dnd the two were connected by a thin tube. The task, no easy one, was to drink the vessel dry without spilling a drop and at a single draught, Ae Others See Us. “You Americans are mentally dis sipated,” says a well-known forelgn: er, “You should adopt some of the pigeon-toed principles of the Germans regarding mental training.” Tip shakes him by the hand.
