The Savannah Tribune V01. XXVI. PERJURY IN THE LORIMER CASE Intimation That Prosecution May Follow. LORIMER PUT UP TO TAFT. Edward Hines, the Chicago Lumberman, Alleged to Have Collected the $100,000 Sush Fund, on the Stand. Washington. — Intimation that prosecution of certain witnesses for perjury would grow out of the Senate investigation of the election of Senator Lorimer was forthcoming Thursday during the examination of Edward Hines, the Chicago millionaire lumber man, whose name is connected with the alleged $100,000 fund collected to elect Mr. Lorimer. Mr. Hines flatly contradicted many statements of previous witnesses; and the situation aroused Senator Kenyon, of Iowa. "Now there ought to be some prosecutions for perjury right here," he exclaimed. He did not indicate whom he would have indicted, but his remark created a profound impression. Mr. Hines' first testimony that attracted deep interest was his detailed account of how he said President Taft, former Senator Aldrich and Senator Penrose had him exert his influence to have Mr. Lorimer elected to the Senate. Mr. Hines then detailed in its entirety the testimony of Clarence S. Funk, general manager of the International Harvester Company, regarding the conversation the two men had at the Union League Club, in Chicago, shortly after Mr. Lorlmer's election. Mr. Funk had testified that Mr. Hines asked him on that occasion for a $10,000 contribution to a $100,000 Lorlmer campaign fund. Mr. Hines testified that Mr. Funk asked for an introduction to the new senator, and for the privilege of contributing to his election expenses. Mr. Hines added that when he mentioned the proposed introduction Mr. Lorimer objected, because he regarded Mr. Funk as one of his active enemies. When the Senator explained to Mr. Hines that he had no election expenses to defray, Mr. Hines said he decided not to mention Mr. Funk's offer. Subsequently, he said, Mr. Funk expressed disappointment over the outcome of his conversation with Mr. Hines, but continued very cordial, even asking Mr. Hines to get him a seat in the Senate gallery here last 4th of March, and to introduce Mrs. Funk to Mrs. Hines on one occasion last spring. Mr. Hines also contradicted in toto the testimony given by Wirt H. Cook, of Duluth, Minn. During the day Mr. Hines put into the record copies of all the telegrams which had been sent to him by Senator Lorimer since the latter's election, with the exception of one, which he declared he never received. He told the committee that all his personal checks and those of the companies with which he was connected were open to its inspection. It was announced at the White House that the President would not discuss Mr. Hines' reiterated statement that the Chief Executive expressed any preference for Mr. Lorimer for senator. BANKER MUST SERVE TERM Morse Loses Another Fight for Release From Jail. Atlanta, Ga.—Charles W. Morse, the New York banker, serving a term in the Federal prison here for violating the national banking laws, failed in his effort to obtain his release on a writ of habeas corpus. Without passing upon the validity of that portion of Morse's sentence of 15 years beyond 10 years, District Judge Newman denied the petition for a writ declaring that ten years of the sentence unquestionably was good, and as Morse had not served out that time the court had no right to enter further in the matter. Morse's attorneys filed notice of an appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the fifth circuit. Judge Newman said that he had no doubt of the legality of Morse's confinement in the Atlanta prison, although it had been erected for "hard labor" convicts. He said it might be able to obtain a transfer to another prison by application to the attorney general, but he believed conditions here were probably as good, at least, as would be found in a prison elsewhere. CHICAGO GETS A POSTAL SAVINGS BANK Famous Coal Lands Case Decided Illegal--Millions Involved. Washington.—The famous Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims, through which it has been alleged that the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate had planned to extend their vast interests in Alaska and to control one of the most valuable coal fields in the world, were finally disallowed by the Department of the Interior. Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher, having approved the department's decision, as handed down by Fred Dennett, commissioner of the Land Office, the last door is believed to have been closed to the Cunningham claimants. Their attorneys have threatened an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, but such an appeal can be based only on some point of law involved and not on the findings of fact as announced by the department. The Cunningham claimals have been in the public eye constantly for more than two years. They brought about the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation by Congress and the dismissal from the public service of Chief Foresster Griffon Pinchot, Louis R. Galvin, a chief of field division in the land office, and A. H. several minor officials. Both Messrs. Pinchot and Glavis were dismissed for insubordination incident to their attacks on former Secretary Ballinger, whom they claimed was favorably disposed toward the claims. In announcing the decision of the department, Secretary Fisher, who succeeded Mr. Ballinger in March last, declared that new coal land laws are needed in Alaska if that territory is to be developed properly. In a statement the Secretary said: "This is a final decision of the Cunningham claims so far as the Department of the Interior is concerned. Any further proceedings will be merely formal for the purpose of perfecting the record in case the claimants think there are questions of law which they desire to present to the courts. It is my understanding that it is conceded that the findings upon the facts by the department are conclusive. "It is the intention of the department to proceed at once to a final determination of all the remaining Alaskan coal claims so far as this can properly be done, denying those that should be denied and granting those that should be granted as rapidly as possible." Aeroplane for Every Post. Washington.—Every army post in the country will be supplied with an aeroplane, which will be shipped as soon as completed.

WIRE TRUST NOW ON THE GRIDIRON WIRE TRUST NOW ON THE GRIDIRON Two Subsidiaries of Steel Corporation Indicted. CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY. Thirty-Five Companies, Forming Seven Pooling Associations, Indicted on Charges Preferred by Federal Government. New York. — Eighty-four wire manufacturers, representing 35 companies, were indicted here by the Federal grand jury on the ground that they had offended against the Sherman Anti-Trust Law in having formed nine pooling associations which were alleged to have acted in restraint of trade. The American Steel and Wire Company, one of the largest subsidiary concerns of the United States Steel Corporation, was declared to have been represented in seven of the pooling associations and its president, William P. Palmer, was indicted seven times. The name of John A. Roebling's Sons Company appears in eight indictments. On the list also are the General Electric Company, the National Conduit and Cable Company, the Standard Underground Cable Company, the American Horse Shoe Company and the Hazard Manufacturing Company. In the list of defendants appear the names of Erskine Hewitt, son of Abram S. Hewitt and secretary of the embassy sent to London for Queen Victoria's jubilee; Herbert L. Satterlee, son-in-law of J. P. Morgan, who gets in because he is president of the Habirshaw Wire Company; Charles F. Brooker, vice-president of the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company and Republican national committee from Connecticut; Carl and Ferdinand Roebling; Edward S. Perot, who is president of the National Conduit and Cable Company; Frank J. Gould, on the score of his being president of the Old Dominion Iron and Nall Works; LeBaron Colt, of Rhode Island, and E. E. Jackson, Jr., a lawyer of this city. Mr. Jackson was indicted nine times on the ground that he was supervisor of all nine pools. Ferdinand Roebling was named eight times and Joseph W. Marsh, president of the Standard Underground Cable Company, was indicted six times. Salesmen and minor officers of the various companies were indicted many times also. The indictments cover the whole field of the wire industry, including electrical cables, steel and copper wire, wire nails and horseshoes. The government alleges that the nine associations controlled from 70 to 95 per cent. of the business in their respective departments. Cold Storage Eggs Hatch. Springfield, Mass.—A West Springfield man placed a plump hen on a setting of a dozen cold storage eggs. The twenty-first day, eight chicks hatched out. There are six varieties of fowl, a circumstance which the proud mother hen affects not to notice. Admiral Togo to Arrive August 4 Washington.—Admiral Togo, the Navy Department announced, will arrive in New York on the Lusitania August 4. He will spend 17 days in this country, and will visit Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Buffalo and Nagara Falls COMMISSION PLAN GOVERNMENT OFF Snowed Under in New Jersey By the Voters. "LET TRENTON TRY IT FIRST" Adoption Opposed By Democratic and Republican Organizations and All Office Holders. Hoboken, N. J.—Hoboken decided by a large majority of votes Tuesday that it does not want commission government. The total vote polled, with one district of 200 votes missing, was 7,622, of which commission government received 2,766, giving its opponents a majority of 2,090. Under the Walsh act it was necessary for the commission government advocates to poll 2,835, or 30 per cent. of the total vote cast for members of election last fall, which they failed to do, The campaign for the adoption of the Walsh act was a vigorous one. For a week mass-meetings were held every night, and one of them was addressed by Governor Wilson. The commission government advocates also circulated much literature throughout the city. The adoption of the act was opposed by the Democratic and Republican organizations, the Police and Fire Departments and every office-holder in the city. To many it looked ludicrous to see the two heretofore bitterly antagonistic organizations working together hand-in-hand for a common cause. The opponents to the commission form of government did not hold any meetings or circulate any literature, but early in the game they began a still hunt which, as the result shows, proved very effective. 600 Short at Brunswick. New Brunswick, N. J.-By a vote of 2 to 1 commission government was defeated here at the special election, the total vote Being 2,520 against, 1,245 for, the majority against being 1,245. Even though the majority had been for it, there were not enough votes cast to bring the vote for it up to the required 30 per cent. under the Walsh act. Last year the registry was 6,000, and 1,800 votes were necessary to be polled for commission government to carry it. The vote polled fell nearly 600 short of that figure. Not a single one of the six wards in the city gave a majority for it. Many said, "Let Trenton try it first," while others said the election had been called too soon and they had not had an opportunity to become acquainted with the subject sufficiently to vote intelligently thereon. REAPPORTINOMENT PASSED Bill Adopted by Senate Without Amendment. Washington.—The Senate Committee on Census agreed to report the Congressional Reapportionment Bill without amendment providing for 433 representatives, notwithstanding practically all the committee members had expressed themselves as opposed to the increased representation. The bill provides for 42 representatives over the present number and was framed so as to prevent a decrease of the membership from any state. Three of the 10 members present, Senators La Follette, DuPont and McLean, voted in the negative, but while expressing disapproval of the increase the other seven decided to allow the House to have its way in the matter so peculiarly pertaining to its own affairs. The report will be withheld for a week to give Mr. La Follette time to prepare a minority report, which will be presented by Senator Bailey. SOLDIERS KILLED BY BOMB Explodes While Troops Are Listening to Band. Mexico City.—Seventy-two Maderist soldiers were killed in the town of Jonacatepec, State of Morcelos, on Monday by the explosion of a mine planted by foders before the evacuation of the place, according to dispatches received here. The dead belonged to General Zapata's band. They had been mustered out and wore on their way home. They had stopped in the plaza to listen to the band, when the explosion took place. The remainder of the Maderist detachment, 1,000 in number, have seized the town and are making an investigation. It is quite an old story that the deaf and dumb may be cured by a sudden shock, and a new instance of it is related in a dispatch from Amiens, where a woman is said to have recovered the use of her speech after a particularly loud clap of thunder. There have been heavy storms in the region for the last few days, accompanied with hail, rain, thunder and lightning, and trees in some places have been pulled up by the roots. At others lightning struck houses and barns, and horses and cattle have been killed. A woman forty-eight years of age, the wife of a workman, had completely lost the use of her speech since 1905. She was still able to hear, but the only way she had of communicating with anyone was by writing. She was subjected to various treatments, among others that of electricity; but they seemed to have no effect. During the recent thunderstorms she was seized with a terrible nervous attack, and suddenly she recovered the use of her speech, and is now able to converse as easily as before. Several doctors have come to question her, and her cure is talked of as almost miraculous. An extraordinary thing about the cutlery trade is the variety of knives made. At the Suffolk works in Sheffield, for instance, they have 10,000 different patterns on the books. They make sometimes 3,000 patterns to order at one time? The same thing is true of the large cutlery works at Solingen, in Germany. One firm has 9,000 patterns for Germany alone. New ones are constantly coming out. The Suffolk works have averaged ten new patterns a week for two years. This is a trade that will not be standardized, which is one reason why America has failed hitherto to compete.—Cassier's Magazine. The annual charity festival known as "The Little Flower," on behalf of sick and infirm children, was held at Zurich recently with extraordinary success. Over £4,000 was collected by pretty girls who sold artificial marguerites and other flowers. Although the nominal value of each flower was about a penny it was sold for silver, gold, bank notes and even checks. One wealthy professor wrote out a check for £1,000.

Pastor Will Not Desert Principles for Pension—Social Evils. Philadelphia.—"No rich man has the right to ask us to desert our principles for the sake of an old-age pension," declared the Rev. Mr. E. M. Poteat, president of Furman University, at Greenville, S. C., at the session of the Baptist World Alliance. The vast audience applauded the sentiment expressed. The Rev. Mr. Poteat said his criticism was directed against Andrew Carnegie, because of the provisions attached to the retired ironmaster's teachers' pension fund, excluding from participation in the fund colleges which impose any theological test. "I deny the right of Mr. Carnegie to impugn the competence in the field of education of my colleague or of any other sectarian institution," the clergyman said. "I know Mr. Carnegie personally, and he had contributed $44,000 to our college, but I deny his right to make such provisions as he attached to the old-age pension fund." A world-wide campaign against social evils, in which other demoninations will be asked to join, was launched at the meeting. A special committee on social progress will be named by President MacArthur, of the Baptist Alliance, and other denominations will be asked to name similar bodies to confer and get such concentrated action as will stamp out the many social evils of the world. The resolution was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Batten, of Des Moines, Ia., head of the Social Service Commission of the Northern Baptist Convention. This resolution called for the appointment of a committee of 15 to memorialize other religious bodies of the world to name similar committees, which shall confer and try to secure such concerted action as shall destroy these evils and make the impact of Christiandom upon the nations more helpful. FARMER WH.PPED BY OWL Victim of Bird's Attack Not Expected to Live. Washington. — Philip Cruzan, a wealthy farmer, is at his home, 15 miles west of here, with practically no hope for his recovery, as the result of his encounter with a monster hoot owl. Cruzan, while walking through his yard, was struck in the face by the owl, which, apparently, in its blind flight, had unintentionally collided with the man. The bird, infuriated, fastened its talons in Cruzan's face and began a vicious attack. Again and again the heavy beak penetrated the man's eyes and Cruzan's efforts to beat off the bird were in vain. Finally, Cruzan foll unconscious, the bird still pecking and clawing at his face. Senator Lea In Hospital. Washington.—Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, weak from the transfusion of blood in an effort to save his wife's life, has returned to the hospital to remain a few days recuperating. He overtaxed his strength in resuming his duties with the Lorimer investigating committee and physicians ordered him to bed. Mrs. Lea also is said to have suffered a setback. Ship Subsidy Bill Again. Washington. — Representative Humphrey, of Washington, has reintroduced his bill, looking to the promotion of the American merchant marine in foreign trade. It provides a subsidy plan for fast modern ships to carry the mails, increases the tonnage taxes on foreign vessels and provides for free ships for foreign trade. . Killed on First Aero Trip. Chalons Sur Marne, France.—Lieutenant Trochon was fatally injured while making his first trip as pilot of a biplane. The machine plunged to the earth almost immediately after rising, and the Lieutenant was taken from the wreckage terribly injured. He was taken to a hospital where he died soon afterward. Seven-Story Lost to Death. Sau Francisco.—Miss Florence R. Cushing, of Boston, who just arrived here from Honolulu, jumped from the seventh story of a hotel and was instantly killed. A note found in her bedroom said troubles had made her desperate and asked that her brother, C. E. Cushing, of Needham, Mass., be notified. Hla Gara Betrava Him New York.—Because he refused to permit his finger prints to be taken, the record of Mike Forguson, who wanted to enlist, was investigated and he is now hold as a suspect in a train holdup in Kansas last March.

The social philosopher who would mak a careful study of them should by al means have accurate knowledge 0 thelr religious organizations, and o that inner life of the same which fur nisbes a true perspective throug! which the better and, therefore, th average negro may be seen. Apart from the state, the church the largest organization with whiet they have to do, it 1s the one greai social power affecting their conduct— and because of Sts very character { calls forth’ the best elements fn thet: nature. If, therefore, we consider It {Influence upon them from the social polut of view, we will be fully repaid; for it seems beyond question that the church has done more to civilize the African than any other single agency ‘Through it the life of the negro peo ple finds its most complete ,expres sion; in St, that life recelves form and direction; under {ts care the moral and social are developed and refined, and to it soclety owes much for what has been accomplished, * “There are three types of worship which belong to three distinct pe riods, though, in many cases, the old er type has a strange persistence in being and continues as a reminder of other days. ‘This persistence ol types furnishes data for strong gen eralizations the truth of which we are inclined to accept because their bases are ever before us—the diverse forms of worship witnessed all about us where the negro has his churches. If the student of economic progress de . sires to place the results of his inves _ tigations beyond serious question, he makes a careful study of modern In- dustrial life and especially of modern machinery in action, Information ob- tained at second hand would be unsat- isfactory, for he knows that original investigations made according to scl- entific methods now in use would alone remove many fatal objections. This scientific spirit must be obeyed if any satisfactory study of the social life of the colored people Is to be made. For the sake of clearness we may treat the three types of worship as represented by three periods, well de- fined, in the church life of the Ameri- can negro: 1. The perlod prior to 1865. 2, The transition perfod, 1865-1890, ‘or thereabouts, 3. The period of Improvement and adjustment to modern conditions, 1890 to the present. We are now able to comply fully with the sclentlfic method in our study of the earlier period and of the first 25 years of the second perlod, for it was during the beginning of the sec- ond period that the writer was born. ‘By extensive reading and by conver. sation with men and women of doth races and of various grades of intel- Ugence, some knowledge of conditions has been obtained. The first period dates from the {n- troduction of negro slavery and con- tinues about 245 years. During these years the Christian slave holders of the southern states were the princl- pal misslonarles to the African heath- en brought to thelr doors by a fortu- {tous course of events, They did much to enlighten those dark and benight- ed beings fresh from a life of sav- agery and social degradation of the Worst type. Perhaps due credit has never been given to the old-time southern people for the great service they rendered to clvillzation by the instruction of these humble people in the mider arts of a better life. Many must have been the sacrifices made in order to teach these untutored beings, these children of the forests and wilds of Africa, The thoughtful descendants of these early blacks will not forget this great and Christ-iike service. Not only did this humble service affect the relig- fous life of the southern people as a whole, but the entire social organtza- tion was slowly modified by it as a step preliminary to something bet- ter, Whatever evil might have been as- fociated with the earlier American Mfe was due largely to conditions {n- separable from the social features in- volved; and it seems wiser to study the circumstances of those days and fo learn the valuable lessons they have to teach than to spend time in criticising unkindly a transitory type of civilization so far removed from our own as to make {t difficult for us to give it full justice. We must not forget that the task of.civilizing men 1s not au easy one, and that those early Americans did a grand and noble service in winning thousands of men from the densest heathenism, As the slaves had not forgotten the fetichism of their native land. It was | cuHlar to the most ignorant, Jhis is 4 survival of ruder forms of mingle¢ heathen and Christlan worship of oth er days, and to this fact it seems thal too little attention has been given by some writers In treating superstitior among southern negroes. The stran gest forms of worship now rapidly passing away have, In common, some thing of the African heathen and the American Christian. This worship though crude, desultory and {n many cases ineffectivo, had {ts power over the social life of the negro, and form ed a basis for instructing him in the better way. During the second period, 1865-1890, the colored preacher arose. During the former perlod the negroes attended the churches of their owners, and oc cupied, as a rule. seats In the gallery or elsewhere especially set apart for them. They thus enjoyed the mints. trations of educated clergymen at a time when this was exceedingly de- sirable. At the downfall of the inatl- tutlon of slavery fn 1865, when the negroes left these ministraflons for one or another reason, there was, for a time, a retrogressfon in thelr forms ot worship, and in some of thelr ideals, This was to be expected, for they had perhaps less than §0, moder. ately well-trained men to minister to the spiritual needs of more than 4,000,000 of human belngs—a mighty host! About 1867, the varlous mission- ary societies began the work of edu- cating preachers and teachers for these people—to this end schools were established at {mportant centers, and, by 1875, a number of men of very moderate training entered the negro pulpits. During the next decade a great change was wrought {fn the chureb iffe of the people; superstition began to lose some of Its power, fire chureh houses (too expensive {n many ‘cases) were erected and the member- ship largely increased. In the midst of much that one regrets and deplores there 1s the excess of good over evil. Since 1865 many improvements have been made and for a quarter of a cen- tury (1866-1890) the church has led fn the development of a higher social ideal which Is wielding great power in transforming the life of the colored people, Herein thete is a great force making for industry, order and law. To these people the weifare of the home, the community, the state, the entire country, fs a matter of con- cern and interest. The spirit of altru- ism {s not unknown and the interest fo mankind ‘s real. Whatever prozsess the negro has made Is due, in a large measure, to the power exerted over him by the Christian church. Since the advent of the colored preacher, though with Iim- tted training, the race has galned in wealth and intelligence, and to these leaders 1s due great honor and credit for what has been accomplished, The northern missionary socletfes trained the negro preachers and thus made their great work possible. Through the perspective years of that work of training a class of workers seems of Increasing {mportance and wisdom. ‘The third period may begin at soma polnt between 1885-1895, This period saw a number of men with better preparation for leagership enter the field; they were more deeply im- pressed with the soclal significance of Me, and labored to show that the Christian religion was not at varlanco with economic and clvic progress, thas political and social philosophy weré not hostile to a higher religious life, Dut that these wide spheres of human activity and fnterest should make thefr proper contribution to the wel- fare of men, . As a result of this effort to lead the negro church to ocmprehend the se clal and economic side of Its Ilfe, and to express this more positively tn Its, business interes‘s and gocial Ife, in ts relations with all men, there Js ‘marked Improvement, especlally in ‘the south. Under this leadershtp tm- provement In the home life has been so signal that the many generallza- tlons made nowadays, but based upon conditions existent 15 or 20 years ago, are far from accurate, One must visit a large number of typical negro homes as they are today {n order to speak wisely concerning them. He must re- member that there are five millions whose Ife bas not been reached by the Influence of the church—five mil- Mons who are not far removed from barbarism, The tmprovement referred to must be sought, therefore, among the better class of the four millions who have been reached by the church, The unreached millions are a verlous menace to the soclal order. The work of training and Christianizing has not ‘kept pace with the Increase in popula: aE say that with « larger number of trained leaders, such as our higher in- stitutions are prevaring for the min: istry of unselfish service, the masses will eventually be helped, elevated. ‘The higher education of a sufficient number of men for leaders of the vast industrial masses throughout the southland is a sure way of accelerat- ing the great work of social better- ment aniong the negroes; for, with few exceptions these leaders direct tho largest interests among them today. Few men, perhaps, will be inclined to question the.value of the church as a social power when they reflect upon present conditions in the light of the past. Many organizations which minister to the aesthetic and intel Yectual Mfe of progressive white men are unknown to the masses of the black men of the south, bence the churches and benevolent organiza- tlons must serve many purposes, and minister to the entire spiritual nature, ‘The large attendance of negro chil- dren at public schools, south, is an- other result. The trained leader urges industry, thrift, economy, edu- cation and righteousness upon the peo- ple, and in this way the influence of the church upon negro life has been amatter of great importance. Through Ht he has been introduced to some phases of American Ilfe and modern clyilizatfon, and ff a wise conserva- tism shall avold the threatened error of exalting the industrial type of ed- ucation undilly at the expense of that ‘equally important type of education under which the present economic and social statue has been attained; if the making of the mere breadwinner shall not be prized above tho development of men who will earn brend; if the mere pumen machine shall not bo idolized to the utter neglect of the trained man with all the powers of in- Itiative set free, we may expect even greater results through that bilgher ‘type of life which fs being slowly but surely developed in the negro churches. > .A more extended study of the pres- ent economic position of the negtoes, together with their possessions In real and personal property would be very instructive; indeed, {t would show that the werk of training leaders for these people was. very opportune. Apart from tye merit of Christianity per se, It sure'y Has great value as a soclal power in the life of theee mll- Hons, and it is to this phase ofthe matter that we desire to give speclal emphasis. It has done much to make the negro more economical, thrifty, humane and alirulstle, and it 1s a mat- ter of common observatjon that the social life of the churchgoers among these people fs far atove that of their unfortunate fellows all about us. These facts will appeal to the consid- erate judgment of philanthropic men for sympathy and support In the traln- ing of black men for le-dership. In the “College-Bred Negro,” a publica- tlon of the Atlanta university; 1900, Dr. DuBols shows that the negro edu- cated in the higher Institutions of learning, worth and south, {s a pro- gressive and industrious member of soclety, and that these men are, in nearly every case, found working for the elevation of their fellows through- out the southern states. They are the advocates of peace, order and good will to all men. It fs the poorly train- ed men who are rash and dangerous as leaders of @ vast multitude of, un- reached people. If a wise philanthropy shall see to it that a better class of leaders shall be supplied to meet the pressing needs of the millions of blacks who, because of thelr great poverty, cannot supply them themselves; if wise and conservative men aid women will only see to it that higher and Indus- trial education is wisely provided to the end that the church may enjoy the ministrations of broad-mintled men, the social and economte life of the blacks will be constantly {m+ proved through the farreaching inttu- ence of the negro church.

An old woman once told a girl with a Puritan conscience: “Stop worrying so much about the right and wrong ‘of things and keép smiling, and you ‘will make thls world a better place.” * ‘The girl who learns to keep smiling when she would much rather weep or storm has gained a victory over her- self beyond penance and fasting.

A QUESTION ABOUT THE SERVANT PROBLEM NRRERAEED Seen Wat ant g PORN PENT IN TERS STE TEL The education of the negro should cegin where “tke education of the white child should begin in the kin dergarten, the most primary depart: ment in modern educational program. If it {6 considered necessary in equipping the child of the superior race, the one who bas had the ad- vantage of social experience, to’ be gin at the earliest period to train the hand into usefulness along with. bis mind, certainly such an education fs the more necessary for the child of the inferlor race, who ts told he must |epend almost entirely on what his ‘hands can do, for his service as an in- dividual, ‘The grafting on of industrial tratn- Ing in the schools of the country has been called one of the progressive steps of modern education; thoughtful men have decided this. They have de- cided that no matter how sure a child may be that his training for life Js to be for a profession, an occupation separated from ever a business ca- reer or one that would require his knowledge of industriat activity, that he must nevertheless to be equipped completely for life, have the all-round education which calls for a training of the hand in the elementary and even recondary branches of educa- ton.

Another effort equally’ as significant along practical lines fs the movement to es- tablish In the University of Georgia a department to teach boys business methods, a department similar to the department of business administra- tlon at Harvard, because elghty per cent. of the students who have grad- uated from the University of Georgla, in the last ten years, have gone Into business activity. So stated Hon. Harry Hodgson of the board of trus- tees of the university, at the confer- ence for education in the south re- cently held in Jacksonville. ‘A Wave of Practical Work. Now that this wave of.practicabil- ity has found expression {n our school systenis everywhere for white chil- dren and they are slowly becoming more ratfonalized—making more for the training of men and women for actial Ife. 1 should Itke to put the question, what 1s being done to make more rational the system of education which the taxpayers of both races are glving the negro's, We tell the negro: “Here {s a good school for you to go to; we want to be just to you." We give him in thé common schools almost the same training which we give the white child; he takes It re- markably well, but when ‘he leaves school and asks for work and ven- tuses into the field of labor where his natiral racial ambition ‘leads, he te told “no, that vocation cannot be yours, but we will give you good wages along industrial lines, and we need you, and are dependent upon you for domestic eervice.” | Now what Las the state or the local ‘school or tht rural school done to- ward working out a system of educa- tion which wuld be conducive to in- custrial and comestic training? ‘There {s tf habit among southern people who are not thoughtful and who are not studious of conditions to exclaim agaifét all this “higher edu- cation of the negro which misguided philanthropists give him.” . ‘That may be warranted in regard to many InsGtutions which have been handsemely endowed, but there are many which are handsomely endowed, and are giving practical demonstra- tion of the very kind of education we cleim we want the negro to have. For instance, { mention, from a stu- dlous investigation of the institution, the Hampton institute, for the educa- tion 6f the negro. T hear the individual man or woman here exclaim: “Yes, but did you ever Dear of a good cook, or a good seam- rtresn, or a good housematd coming srom there?” My reply isc “Hampton fs in Vir- Mala; there have never been enough of the many graduates each year go- ing cut from there to fill in the state ot Virginia alone the demand for teachers of industrial training and do- mestic scfence in the good system of rural schools being established in that state for the negro.

Alto, the records ehow that many a nice. farm Is being presided over by a negro housewife who got her training for home duties of Hamptea, while her husband, Ilke- wise trained at Hampton, fs running a farm, elther for himgelt or for a white employer.” But it would require more space than this department admits to go {n- to the wonderful system of educa- Yon being demonstrated at Hampton. The point I want to make {s that as the educational’system for the white ebild has been found lacking, and new and more practical methods worked out for him, then certainly another system should be worked cut for the negro child, whose activities In this section are Umited, and from whom so much along certain Iines.are expected, Ionumerable communtcations have come to this department bearing on. the inefficteney- of the domestic negro ‘servant, and esking why. something ‘cannot be done about it. This Ineff- ‘elency has been brought about by conditions complex, in operation for nearly fifty years. They cannot be ~~ «© ae = ” = eradicated in 2 day—a month—a year. If we want the negro taught slong industrial lines and along the lines of domestic service we, must begin to give him the opportunity to get that training. The other day in the examinations siven out for teachers in the public schools of Atlanta, virtually the same examinations were given to the white and colored teachers. This points to the fact that the same sysjem of training prevails in both’ schools, And in working out this educational matter {n relation to the two races, it ‘must wot be forgotten that we have to reckon with a rapldly-enlarging element of negroes who do not have to enter into domestic service—but that fe subject matter for another time, * In this matter of the servant ques- tion, we might as well face facts and see what conditions are, and what can be done to better them, A MUMMY'S TOY. There {a a doll In the British mu seum that is more than 3,000 years old.

A mother was greatly worried bz her small daughter's habit of running away. Thinking to !mpress the child with the danger of getting lost, she told her vivid story of some children who ran away to go nutting, Night found them far from home and lost in the woods. With much art the moth: er told of a storm In the night and o! the terrible distress of.the parents and friends who hunted for the chil dren until morning. She also told about the good breakfast prepared for the children, which they missed be cause they did not reach home till 10 o'clock, ‘The Iittle girl Mstened silently to every word, and the mother hoped that the story was meking an impres- sion, When she finfshed the child waa silent for a few moments, as if extecting something more. Then she asked eagerly: “Did: they get any nuts?”—Metropolitan Magazine, MAKING THE CASHIER COUGH. “But I don't know you, madam,” the bank cashier sald to the woman who had presented a check. + The woman, however, instead of saying haughtily, “I do not wish your acquaintance, sir,” merely replied with an engaging smile: “Ob, yes, you do, I think, I'm the “red-headed -old virago’ next door to you, whose scoundrelly little boys are ‘always reaching through the fence ‘and picking your flowers. When you started for town this morning your wife cald: ‘Now Henry, if you want a dinner fit to eat this evening you'll have to leave me a Ittle money. I can't keep this house on plain water and slxpence a day.’” “Here's you movey, madam,” sald the cashier, pushing tt toward her and coughing loudly.—Tit-Bits.

Say I bought a hat for five dollars, Then I spent two dollars for gloves and a dollar and fifty cents for some other things. How much would I have left?” For a moment there was a dead sl- lence.

Stow, the old chronicler of London, was actually interviewed (and this is the oldest instance of published in- terview I have ever found) in regard to this ancient Maypéle of St. An- drew-Under-Shaft, The old man spoke of the singular opposition to the May celebrations as follows: “And opposite to the Church of St. Mary Axe, is the goodly Church of St. ,Andiew-Under-Shait. Of churches we have fewer than of old. As for piety, truly I see no differ- ence, for some will always be pious, and some prodigal and profligate. I remember the Maypole when it hung upon the hooks along the south wall of the church, I never eaw it erect- ‘ed, because Evil-May-Day before I ‘was born, when the prentices rose ‘against the aliens, was the last time when it was up. It was destroyed in King Edward’s time (the only: son of Henry VIII, by Jane Sey- mour, 1537-1553) when it was, preached at Paul’s Cross, that the Maypole was an idol. So thespeople brought axes and cut it up—the goodliest Maypole that the world has ever seen, and taller than the steeple of the church.”—Richard H. Clarke, in Columbian.

Evidences of a bygone tragedy have been uncarthed at Horton, a lit- tle village in the peaceful peninsula of Gower, Wales. A resident was walking along the beach a ew days ago when he stumbled against a bone protruding from the ground. His curiosity was araysed, and_he procured a. spade, and eventually dug up what proved to be human re mains. The spot at which the grue- some discovery was made was by the side of a small cliff, and it is known that the sea has encroached upon the coastline, and the probability is that several feet or more of ground had been washed away and so unearthed the hidden remains, which, however, had evidently been flung into a hole there over a hundred years ago. With the remains was found an old- fashioned dagger, encrusted with rust, and this fact suggests tragedy. OLD SCOTTISH BAGPIPE. _ What is doubtless the finest ex- ample extant of the old Hightand war bagpipe was unearthed recently by Muirhead Moffat, Glasgow. This rare instrument is beautifully orna- ‘mented with Celtic patterns, carved in circular bands. On the stock are the letters R. Of. D., below them a galley, under which “in Roman mu- merals the date 1409. 'The lettering is of the Gothic form commonly used in the fifteenth century. Tho drones and chanter are ornamented with bands of interlaced work, the drone having brass ornamented fer- rules. An old Highland dirk with interlaced grip and unique screw top, evidently for carrying dispatch- es, and a large brass Celtic brooch are included in the find.

You may send them out, please.” AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "There a people, now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men, now rejected from society for their sable skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the law of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." A statement like the foregoing would naturally draw fire from a hostile critic, and when they found that it could not be disproved, the proper course would be to ignore it, and let it fall into oblivion. That's what happened with reference to the foregoing quotation. For in the publisher's preface we read: "A voluminous note in which standard authorities are cited, seems to prove that this statement is substantially correct, and that we are in reality indebted to the ancient Ethiopians to the fervid imagination of the persecuted and despised negro, for the various religious systems now so highly revered by the different branches of the Semitic and Aryan races. This fact may perhaps solve the question as to the origin of all religions and may even suggest a solution to the secret so long concealed beneath the flat nose, thick lips, and Nero features of the Egyptian Sphinx. It may also confirm the statement of Dloderus, that the Ethiopians conceive themselves as the Inventor of divine worship, of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices and of every other religious practices. "That an imaginative and superstitious race and founded in the dim obscurity of past ages, a system of religious beliefs that still enthralls the minds and clouds the intellects of the leading representatives of modern theology—that still clings to the thoughts and tinges with potential influence the literature and faith of the civilized and cultured nations of Europe and America, is indeed a strange illustration of the mad caprice of destiny of the insignificant and apparently trivial causes that oft produce the most grave and momentous results." From the foregoing the student of psychology can readily understand why the negro is more enthusiastic about solemn religious doings than is any one else. And the reader who is still in doubt as to the correctness of these statements may consult Draper's "International Development of Europe" and learn that in spite of the rantings of demagogues, the greater part of the civilized world in matters religious, is still under African domination. Ethiopia has already stretched forth her hands, and like the Nibbe of Nations they may be empty now, but there was a time when they were filled with blessings for the world. It's all right to say that the negro has done nothing—say it and let it go at that. It sounds well in sermon and speech. But remember there are always some minds that look for the other side—"some blind Sampson feeling for the pillars of authority."—Old Hickory in Dallas Express. Not very long ago President Taft, in a speech, defended the integrity and usefulness of the Jews of this country. His glowing tribute to their worth will ever live in the minds of those who believe that race prejudice is contrary to reason and equity. His speech on this occasion certainly showed that he had the moral courage to speak what he thought. Now, occasion comes for him not to speak, but to act, and when it is brought to his attention that Col. Joseph Garrard, commanding the cavalry post at Fort Meyer, disapproved Private Frank Bloom's effort for promotion because of Bloom's parentage, he immediately directs the secretary of war to investigate the matter. The colonel's indorsement was Jews were not "desirable social associates." There being no regulation in the army to prevent an officer from expressing his opinion as to the fitness of a candidate to be advanced from the ranks, Colonel Garrard escaped court-martial; but not a stinging rebuke and a warning not to repeat the endorsement. For nearly 6,000 years the Jews have been in the limelight and it may well be said they are God's chosen people. Success seems to attend their pathway, and we never see a Jew drunkard or beggar. They are not inmates of our 'almshouses and workhouses, but are our most progressive citizens. It is a mistaken idea that the Jews are all merchants; for among the world's list of great soldiers, authors, musicians, painters and philosophers, are many names of persons of this race. In this case the merits of the applicant should have been considered aside from his race, and endorsement made in accord with his service. Our sympathy goes out to the Jew, because "a fellow feeling makes us wonderous kind," and what he has done we can do. So when we add money, character, intelligence and industry to our stock in trade, we will have friends to come to our assistance. That's the way the Jew solved his problem.—Richmond Reformer. During the summer some latitude should be shown servants in all vocations of life, especially those in the menial walks of life. There are some rights that servants have that should be respected. They should be shown some attention and kindness while at work. Reasonable hours should be prescribed for them to work, and the same for pleasure and recreation. Domestic servants in many instances are diminishing because of the painfully long hours they have to work and the poor salary attached. Reports are often heard from all parts of the country of the scarcity of unskilled labor, due largely to the fact that such labor is overworked. The housekeepers should be more lenient with their servants by giving them a reasonable amount of time for recreation and pleasure, and above all, to treat them with kindness.—Illinois Chronicle. --- Thus far, there have been seven colored ministers to Haiti' namely: Rev. E. D. Bassett of Pennsylvania; John M. Langston of Virginia; John E. W. Thompson of New York; Frederick Douglass of New York and the District of Columbia; John S. Durham of Pennsylvania; W. F. Powell of New Jersey, and Henry W. Furniss of Indiana. George W. Williams of Ohio was nominated several years ago for the place, but failed of confirmation. Durizg Cleveland's second term, Henry S. Smythe, a white man, served as minister to Haiti. All have been men of high character, brilliant attainments and impressive personality. A careful estimate indicates that since the foundation of Tuskegee institute, two years of training have been given to approximately 9,000 persons. The average length of time that these 9,000 persons have been out is fourteen years, during which time their estimated earnings have been $88,200,000. If they had not received an industrial training, they would have earned during the fourteen years only $12,600,000. That is, by receiving an industrial training, they have been able to earn $75,600,000 more than they would have earned had they not received this training. —Southern Letter.

CLOSING OF DURHAM INSTITUTE WAS A NOTABLE EVENT. By Geo. F. King. Durham, N. C.—(Special.)—With the strongest attractions ever featured by an Institution for Afro-Americans in this section of the country, the first annual commencement of the National Religious Training school, this city, was a notable event. Prominent men and women of both races from various parts of the country were present and were astounded at the effective work being done by the school and its phenomenal growth. A great message of hope and sane doctrine for the cordial relationship between the races in the south was the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Augustus P. Record, pastor Church of Unity, Springfield, Mass. In addressing the literary societies Dr. W. P. Few, president of Trinity college, this city, made these significant utterances: "I am always glad to come into contact with single individuals or a whole people who have great tasks before them, especially they are willing fairly and fearlessly to confront their great tasks. Circumstances have set before your people the high task of building in a short time and under surroundings of a well developed society a worthy civilization of your own. There are features of the case that make your situation unique. There is nothing like it in all the world. Then, too, your people in Durham are making unusual efforts, with extraordinary success, to work out the problems of your destiny. And you are working out your destiny here under peculiarly favorable conditions, for I am sure that the relations existing between the white and colored races in Durham are better than what I have observed elsewhere in America. To help your race forward and to improve these good relations between the two races is an opportunity for which this institution ought to be most grateful." The final day every Afro-American enterprise in the city was closed during the hours the exercises were held. In delivering the annual commencement address Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, associate justice supreme court District of Columbia, in part said: "This school was born of the realization of this deep truth, that every race must have its leaders. It is not enough to provide for the average man. You must provide likewise for the exceptional man. You must encourage leadership. You must see that those who by nature and ambition are calculated to lead shall be by education and discipline be fitted to lead wisely. Every race will have its leaders. The black race will have its own. We cannot prevent it. But we can see to it that they are well trained. We can see to it that they shall be filled with true ideals of service. The time has gone by when you could put the human mind into a dungeon. The instinct for something better is unconquerable. Men will have light. They will have their share in the fruits of the world's progress. No dead weight of opposition can ever keep down the mighty instinct of growth. As Wendell Phillips was fond of saying—The tiny weeds of a luxurant Italian summer upheave the colossal foundations of the Ceasar's palaces and leave them a mass of ruins.' Where there is life there will be growth. If you plant an acorn in a vase the acorn will die or else the vase will crack. Of all the follies that ever took possession of the human mind the supreme folly is to suppose that you can keep a man in ignorance if he wants to learn. The question is what shall he learn? Shall it be vice and crime and rebellion against society and law? Or shall it be truth and virtue and loyalty to God and to the state? That is the question. The mistake men have made so often in the past has been in supposing that the strong and prosperous held a mortgage on the weak and poor. In the world of moral it is the other way." It is the weak who have mortgage upon the strong. It is the ignorant who have a claim upon the learned. There is no safety but in justice. God has so made his world that the rich shall dwell in fear unless they banish ignorance and crime and poverty from their borders. That is the only policy of insurance that in the long run is worth a penny. There is no safety for a state but in the intelligent loyalty of its citizens. It was fittingly said: "You can do almost anything with a bayonet except sit on it." You cannot rest a nation upon force. If that was true, and it was true, even under the old forms of government, how much more is it true under a government like ours where public sentiment is the only king, where even the law upon the statute book is a dead letter unless the good will of the community is behind it. "Durham has become one of the most important places in the United States. This little town of 18,000 inhabitants, among the hills of North Carolina, has drawn to itself the attention of the whole country. Why? Because it has struck bedrock on this race question. Here is a community where the best elements of both races meet and work together for the good of all. Mutual helpfulness and mutual respect—these are the talismanic words that have been spoken here. We have seen a circuit judge of the United States' and a former governor of the state, traversing the country to fill the treasury of this institution. We have seen a distinguished ex-Con- federate officer, perhaps the foremost citizen of his state, ready to become the guardian of its funds, to give it the prestige of his name and benefit of his counsel and services. And we have seen the good people of this town setting the country an example of unselfish and broad-minded hospitality to an attempt to elevate a race. PREVENTED TOOTHACHE THE OLD ROMAN DID IT BY DEVOURING TWO RATS A MONTH. If it be true that ancient remedies are always the best, it may be of interest to those afflicted with dental troubles to know how the ancient Romans dealt with such lills. The Quirities recognized two types of treatment, the magical and the medical. The following are some of the prescriptions advised by the magicians: Take the head of a dog that has died of rabies, mix the ash with oil of cyprus and inject the product into the ear of the affected side. A water snake's vertebra will serve to scarify the gum provided that it be obtained from a white skinned snake, or for the same purpose may be used a lizard's frontal bone obtained when the moon is full, or, if that fail, a chicken bone will do, provided that it be dried in a hole in a wall and thrown away immediately, after used. It is good treatment to inject into the aching ear oil of lemon in which have been macerated mallow bugs, even should this last give rise to itching. A worm fed on a particular herb or a cabbage caterpillar can conveniently be placed in a hollow tooth, but it is equally simple to chew an adder's heart. Prevention being better than cure, a sovereign preventive will be found in the eating of two rats a month. London Hospital. ABUSING FREEDOM. Benjamin E. Walsh, the sociologist, said of immigration in a recent lecture in Reading: "We are all apt to abuse unwonted freedom. I know an Englishman who on his arrival in New York demanded a glass of whisky in a palatial bar. "Now, in England your whisky is measured out to you in a small tin measure, but in our bar the Englishman, to his astonishment, had the full bottle set before him. He was given for the first time the freedom of the bottle. "And though a rich man, he abused that freedom. He took an enormous drink. Then he rose and handed the bartender 15 cents. "Hold on, sir," the bartender called after him. "You've forgotten your change." "I thought the drink was 15 cents,' said the Englishman. "Yes, that is so,' said the bartender, 'but that is the retail price. There's a reduction when you buy wholesale.'" —Washington Star. THE FOREMAN'S REPLY. In local courts out west the law is not hedged about by awe, and an amusingly sociable atmosphere is frequently to be found among judge, jury, lawyers and client. A lawyer in a county court, having exhausted his eloquence in behalf of his client on trial for stealing, worked up to this climax: "Gentlemen of the jury, after what this man has offered in evidence and what I have stated to you, is this man guilty? Can he be guilty? Is he guilty?" The forman, with a smile, and in a genial tone, replied: "You just wait a while, ole hoss, 'n we'll tell ye,"-Youth's Companion. NOT IN. There is at present serving a term in the penitentiary at Columbus a former official of the postoffice department, convicted of "graft" on many counts. The gentleman in question had always been on friendly terms with the newspaper correspondents, and when he was arrested and placed in jail there was a rush of the newspaper men to the prison, confident of securing an interview. The accused, however, refused to be seen, and sent a characteristic message to his would-be interrogators: "Tell them," said he to the warden, "that I am not in."—Metropolitan Magazine.

THE SUFFERING SERVANT OF JEHOVAH. The Lesson In Palestine. Isa. 52:13 and 52:12. Read 42:1-9; 19:1-13; 50:4-11. Golden Text.—The Lord hath laid on alm the iniquity of us all.—Isa. 53:6. THE LESSON EXEMPLIFIED. Chapter 54:13-15: The Presence of the Servant. This mysterious figure is impressively introduced by the prophet in a few sentences which summarize the work of the Servant. The sufferer will be crowned with glory and honor. The dignity that is in store for him in the reward of his trial and travail; it will be in marked contrast with the humiliations which he had experienced. My servant shall deal prudently—Better "shall prosper" (margin or Revision); his labors will have a successful issue. As many were astonished at thee—Those who witnessed his excessive afflictions were filled with astonishment and horror. So shall he sprinkle many nations—The attitude of amazement will be succeeded by one of admiration and reverence. Sprinkle—better, "startle," so that they will change their mind concerning the purpose of the sufferings, when they see his exaltation. In the sequel shall they consider—"understand" his motive and mission, so that a new light will fall on them. Their hasty judgments are unjust and unfair; but they will be revised in the light of the Messiah's later work. Chapter 53:1-3: The Sorroms of the Servant. In these and the following verses the speaker is reviewing what had already taken place. Such unparalleled behavior stirs the thought of the spectators and they see that they are guilty. Who hath believed our report?—"That which we have heard." The question implies that no one had received the message; it fell on deaf ears. The arm of the Lord is a figure of speech which means his activities in the world. The works of God, especially through his Servant, were performed before blind eyes. They had no spiritual insight and so they regarded him as having no form of comeliness—The sufferer was without attraction. He was despised and rejected of men—It was even worse; his appearance was positively repulsive, and he was severely let alone and forsaken (Matt. 26:56). The treatment which he received was marked by thoughtlessness; and this is another form of selfishness. They judged from mere appearances and were therefore mistaken. They did not even trouble to look into his case, but covered their face so as not to see him. Verses 4-6; The Passion of the Servant. The popular view of suffering is here condemned. It is not always a Mildew may be removed by soaking the article in buttermilk. Ironing calco, percale, etc., on wrong side will retain a new appearance. Always sprinkle the clothes with hot water, using a whisk broom for that purpose. Kerosene oil cleans all the lint, stains and grease off the rubber rollers of the wringer. Kerosene will remove fruit stains by washing in the kerosene and then washing in the usual way. A small quantity of kerosene in the starch, when cooking, will cause the clothes to iron better. If any piece has been scorched in ironing, lay it where bright sun will fall upon it. It will take it out. All new colored cottons should be soaked in salt water before washing, to set the color and prevent fading. Laces should never be rubbed, but squeezed and well rinsed in water in which soap jelly has been dissolved. When ironing rough drilled pieces always sit on a high stool, and if one stands on a padded rug or old quilt folded, the feet do not become so fired. Towels should be thoroughly dry before being put away. If not thoroughly dried after ironing, a mold forms which is liable to produce skin diseases. Put soft grease on tar, rub thoroughly with the hands, then wash out grease and tar in warm water, to which has been added a spoonful of soda. Black hose are apt to assume a greenish tint after repeated washings; but if in the last rinsing water is put a spoonful of vinegar, the color will be preserved. Ink stains can be removed by pouring melted tallow on the stain before washing, or by saturating with lemon juice, covering with salt and laying on the sun. punishment for sin. The servant was indeed smitten of God and afflicted, but this humbling experience was not on account of his own sins; it was their griefs and palms that he bore (I. Pet. 2:24). He was wounded for our transgressions—"He was pierced for crimes that were ours." He was brushed for our iniquities—"He was crushed for guilt that was ours." So then he was the substitute, and he was also acceptable to God. The chastement of our peace—The discipline of pain and punishment which brought them peace was experienced by him. Not only did he endure this bitter hardship on their behalf, but he also thereby wrought and brought redemption to them. Like sheep they had foolishly gone astray, moved by selfish impulses, and had got into trouble. Every one to his own way—Sin is a fearful destroyer of unity and harmony. The guilt of us all Jehovah hath ladd on him—"Made to light upon him". Verses 7-9: The Humiliation of the Servant. A remarkable fact was the sinlessness of him who submitted to cruel injustice, yet he opened not his mouth—"Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again." (I. Pet. 2:23). He was taken from prison and from judgment—"By tyranny and law that was tyranny, a judicial crime" (G. A. Smith). To all appearances his case was considered according to law, but it was the merest form, for they wrested justice in condemning him. This has been a familiar experience with the prophets of God in all ages (Jer. 37). But the most signal illustration, and one to which we naturally turn, is that of Jesus at the trials before Calaphas and Pillate, the religious and civil authorities of the day. Who shall declare his generation?—The Revision makes this entire passage clear; it means that his contemporaries failed to understand that the stroke which fell on him should really have lighted on them. His grave with the wicked—Even his burial was disgraceful. The thought is repeated in the next clause, and the rich in his death—Better translate, "yoe, with the felon his tomb." This was not true of Jesus, who was laid away in the sepulchre owned by Joseph of Arimathea. But we must not try to interpret this prophecy literally, as though it were history written before the event. Verses 10-12: The exaltation of the Servahi Many of the allusions in this section are difficult to understand because we do not have all the facts. This is also true of the previous sections. But the general thought is clear, especially as we read it in the light of the New Testament. He shall see his seed—Those who shall be won by spiritual life and liberty, because he was made a guilt offering. The trevall of his soul—The pain and privation of his life produced results which have satisfied him. His obedience to law, shown when he bore its penalty, though righteous himself, thereby made many—justify many. His reward is worthy of his work. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great—He is represented as a victor returning from the war, bringing back his spoil; and what can that be but the lives whom he has redeemed by the sacrifice of his life? A cloth wet with kerosene to rub the hot iron on gives a better result than ironing wax. For rough iron's, put a handful of salt on the board and rub the iron on it. Pour boiling water upon stains from fruit or coffee on table linen as soon as the table is cleared. Some put a pinch of salt on a stain as soon as it is made, which makes it easier to come out. Avoid folding the tablecloth in the same creases every time it is laundered and it will last longer. Never starch table linen and iron on wrong side and it will always look new. WASHING THE SMALL CHILD'S STOCKINGS Little folk's stockings wear out at a marvelous rate, but few mothers realize that washing has a great deal to do with it. They should, first of all, be well shaken in order to remove any dust, and then soaked for fifteen minutes in a lather of warm water and soap, to which a little ammonia has been added. Next make a fresh lather of soap and water, and squeeze the stockings in this. Rinse in two lots of warm water, dry, and press with a moderately hot iron before they are quite dry. SACRIFICING THE WOMAN. That Carlyle could contemplate with equanimity being unpraised, unmoneyed and neglected all his life, that he required neither the world's pudding nor its breath and could be happy without them, was pardonable and perhaps commendable. That he should expect another person to share this unmoneyed, puddingless and rather for-loin condition was scarcely consistent with such lofty principles. Men may sacrifice themselves, if they please, to imagined high duties and ambitions, but they have no right to marry wives and sacrifice them.—Ex change. REMOVABLE COAT LININGS. It is an excellent plan in making the small son or daughter's cloth coat to have the heavy, wadded lining removable.

Sarunpar, Jour 8, 1911 na Just a little less personal enmity Among us and more effective co- operation on the part of the lead. ing Negro citizens of the city will goa long way toward bettering the condition of our people here. Suggestive illustrations and coarse jokes in the pulpit are ever to be condemned and it would be highly appreciated and much more in keeping with the true spirit of christianity if our ministers would refrain -from the use of all anecdotes and illustra- tions that might give an undigni- lied beuring to the high calling of their profession, Jokes and illus- tration which are perfectly legi- timate in other places are often inappropriate in church meetings. Our miaisters should realize this and differentiate and they should see to it that they keep their pul- pits cleon and pure at all times, ‘The introduction Wednesday of a bill in the {state legislature for an anprapriation of thirty thou- sund dollars for the purchase of books to be used in the common schools of Georgia should meet with tha hearty approval of every member of the legislature. The bill provides that. each county school commissioner shall receive the books assigned to his county and shall distribute them among the children of that country. This is an admirable plan and will, if it succeeds in getting through the legislature, be the means of Celiminating a large umountof illiteracy which is found in our state. It will be a boon to the thousands of children whose parents are too poor to furnish uhem with the books required and will a-sist them in competing suc- cessfu'ly with their more fortu- nate brothers and sisters who are never confronted with the embar- rassment of being unable to se- cure the necessary books for starting out properly equipped on ths first day of school. ‘This plin of providing free books is one «hich has found favor in al- most all of the northern states and many of those in the west, and it will be a blessing for which tlie {whole populace of the state will sive thanks if it succeeds in prssing the state legislature. During the early part of the sprifg a number of gepresentative young men got together and de eided to open an amusement anc picnic park out at Sandfly. How well they have succeeded in their projrct ean easily be seen from the many hand bills and_posters mound the city advertising pic nics at. Woodlawn Park. The people, noticing the business like manner in which these young met are handling this proposition and seeing that it is being run on an unusually high plan, have availed themselves of the opportunity of securing this park and now ‘tis more the rule than exception te have a week pass without three or more outings given at, Woodlawn Park. It is- easily reached, wel cared for and the young men dc all in their power to give thorough satisfaction to their patrons. But the most highly appreciated thing about Woodlawn Park is that it is run without those damaging and immoral features that are to be found at other parks. There is ‘no drinking privilege, the man. agement sees to it that good order is maintained and the park in gen- eral-is being run in a manner which is most acceptable to the better element of citizens. We congratulate the young men for the pure moral atmosphere which surrounds Woodlawn Park and we recommend it most highly to the picnic-lovipg populace of Savannah. COMMENCEMENT AT LIN= COLN INSTITUTE. Lincoln, Mo. Clese of 2 Very Prosperous Year in the Administration of Dr. B.F. Alles. Large and appreciative audiences greetad each exercise of the commenee. ment season, marking the close of a most prosperous ear in Lincoln Insti- tute, Dr. BF. Allen, president. The programs have been rich and varied. ‘Commencement, which has in reality Deenin progress since June 7th, when & very interesting rendition of “Julius” was given by the Junior class, was brawgne te 2 brilliant close on Friday morning, June 16, st which time Mis- souri’s famous Governor, Herbert S. Hadley. delivered the sddress of the day in words and sentiments that were a source of inspiration to “all present. ‘The Baccaulaureate sermon was, ¢lo- quently given. by the Rev. M. C. B. Mason of the M. E. Church; sermon to ths religious bodies by Presiding Elder, Rev. R. L. Beal, D. D., of the A. M._E. Church, who delivered a very practical and acceptable sermon; the address to the Hier? societies, by Professor J. D. Bowser, Principal of Attucks school, Kansas City, who spent the summer of 1910 in European travel, and who brought to his audience delightful and valuable reminiscences of his trip. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard Uni versity, guest of Dr. Allen during : few hours of commencement week, gave a very refreshing, talk op The fan and the Race” to the Faculty anc student body. We also note the following among the many interesting features of the commencement season: The return o graduates with their families; Alumn Syening, on which occasion Dr. Aller ‘was the speaker of the evening and de livered masterly address. on | “Thi Lincoln Institute Spiri;” ‘the Alumni etc, Rev. 7. A. Harvey, one of the gra duates bes had the good sense to make much of his stay within a stone's throw of a great educational institutios anc his oration, ‘‘Sought and Found” in its forceful statements relative to the worth of the institution and its “match less leader,” well demonstrated the speaker's appreciation of that which he had sought and found. . ‘The most interesting feature of ‘all, however, in many senses, was the pre sentation to Dr. Allen, on Commence ment morning, just before the close o' the program, ofa gold watch, beauti. tully engraved with the buildings o Lincoln {nstitute, the president's name, the date, ete. This watch was the gif of the Faculty, as a smail token of love and esteem. Nor should the gift of the Sopho more class to their distinguished Presi dent be overlooked. A pair of beauti ii Ik Hesoate cuff batians. a fany of the young people of the wating clas ready ‘are supplied wit schools and will enter upon their caree! asteachers in September. : . A number of the heads of depart ‘ments and teachers of Lincoln Institute will study during the summer in sucl school of note as University of Chica go, Univerity of Kansas, Washburs ollege, etc, Lincoln Institute can. al ways be counted upon for up-to-dat methods of teaching. Pythian Grand Lodge, , The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias meets next weekin Macon. This wil be the most important session ever held by this Grand body, Many persons are eepectiog tee ublous times. It is hoped that the delegates and mem: bers of the Grand Lodge will go with sober thought andact onlyin e harmon: fous manner for the best interest of the pad order. There are several candi- ites for the Grand Chancellor. May 2 safe and able sir knight be elected and whoever he may be, let the oe rally to his support and cause Pythian- ism in Georgia to lead 2s of yore. The cry of retrenchment is false unless the endowment laws, be strengthened. By cutting down salaries and combining offices will not help this department This method of retrenchment will not pay the death claims, of five members during the year. Strengthan the en- dowment law is the thing. The Grand Lodge should let ell covey alone and elect to their respective laces Messrs B. W, Warren, C. H. McCarthy, and F. M. Cohen, Each of themis faithful, ef. ficent and honest. Their services’ are needed. As Supreme, Represeniative Sir Knight Geo S, Williams would re- fleet honor | to the Grand | Lodge, and no mistake would be made in his selection. He is indeed representative anda ‘type of man we should put for- ward. May this session be disappoint- ing to those who arelooking for trouble ‘and disrupting features of the Grand Courts of Calanthe’s, . The Grand Couft of Calanthe meets in Macon next week. Mrs. R. L. Barnes, the beloved and popular Grand Most Worthy Counsellor, will render a report better than ever. In her de- Eainett peace and prosperity reign. Credit of this is due to her great execu- tive ability and the high regard in which she is held by all of her mem- bers. She will be reelected unani- mously as she deserves, and_ it is hop- ed that her staff of officers will also be reelected. Correction.

A devoted daughter, a devout chris tian, a sincere friend The Lord knoweth best, Whatever he doeth is well, Whether He giveth or taketh What we from His hand receive Suffices us to live He taketh and giveth But loveth us still One of the Oldest and a Well Known Citizens Passed Mr. William H. Morell died Tuesday evening June 6th, 1911, after an illness of some length. He was one of Savannah's oldest, well-known and popular citizens, having been born, reared and lived here all of his life. He was much loved and favorably known among his fellow men possessing a kindly disposition that would draw others to him and make friends with all that came in touch with him. He was for many years the valued porter of Mr. Alexander Thesmar in whose service he continued up to a year ago, being obliged to give up on account of feeble health. He had been sick more than a year and while his death was not unexpected it came as a surprise to his many friends. His advice was often sought among his associates, being cool and calm in all things. He was a lawabiding citizen and loved peace. He was a kind and loving father, a good husband and much devoted to home and family. His friends were numerous, to know him was to love him. He was a patient sufferer and his death was peaceful and calm being fully reconciled to the will of God he leaves to mourn his loss a wife, two daughters, two grand sons, one great grand daughter, a sister and a brother. His only son having died a year ago. His funeral was largely attended and the floral designs were numerous and beautiful. The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Campbell, whose death occurred on last Saturday morning at her late residence East Gordon street, took place on Monday afternoon from First A. B. Church. She leaves a husband Mr. Henry Campbell, three daughters, Misses Janie Daisy and Georgia, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her death. On last. Sunday afternoon the little daughter, Edna Rebecca, of Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Desverney was buried. She was ill for sometime and passed away Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Desverney have the sympathy of their many friends. Pekin Dots. Mr. W. M. Benbow and his "Alabama Chocolate drop" opened Monday night with "Spoony Sam" a comedy in one act and made an instantaneous hit. There are four people in the act, each one looks like a head liner. The acting of Mr. Benbow as Spoony Sam was real pleasing. He is decidedly the best "straight" man that has appeared at the Pekin for months. Among the clever songs that were introduced during this act the following ones were big hits "Tell her no, that's all" by Mose Graham was a scream, Mr. Graham is not only a good comedian, but has an exceptionally good voice and was forced to take several encores. "All that I ask is love" by Miss Rebecca Kinzy, the black swan was real good. "In the Land of Harmony" by Miss Edna Benbow was a clever and the singing of "Sugar Moon" by the Quartette was real pleasing, the voices blending very harmoniously. That clever and classy team of singers and dancers Butler and Butler is working over time taking more encores than any team that recently appeared at the Pekin. They are featuring Alabama Shuffle. Despite being somewhat handicapped Slick Wilson is making the biggest kind of hit. He is handing out a new and up-to-date line of talk that is very much enjoyed. His song "Liza" and that "Italian Kag" were examples of his clever character singing. That dainty little dancing soubrette Miss Elia Webb is playing a very small part this week but still making good. The show closes with a one act drama. "The wages of sin" that was well played. Stage Manager Wilson will present next week the Ham Tree. The motion pictures shown this week were of an usua high quality. BEST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD.

It is not only unpleasant—that isn't the worst feature—it means that the blood is impure and the longer you neglect it the more you suffer from annoyance. Skin eruptions of any description indicate, in every instance, an impoverishment of the blood supply—it isn't pure and you cannot expect it to supply the proper amount of nourishment to the surrounding tissues. Get at the root of the trouble—cleansse the blood of impurities—stir up the circulation—tone up the digestive fluids and have your food absorbed in the proper manner. NYAL'S HOT SPRINGS BLOOD REMEDY Strengthens the blood supply—enriches it of impure waste material and thus supplies a foundation for the building of a permanent health. You will notice a decided improvement with the first few doses—the appetite will be increased you will feel the blood coursing through veins and the skin will take on the glow of health.

PEABODY'S DISTRIBUTION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL LARS WILL BE TENNESSEE INSTITUTION'S SHARE. Nashville, Tenn.—(Special.)—If the division of the Peabody fund is made according to the plan that was announced several weeks ago, and if a proportionate share according to the negro's population is made to the deserving youth, more than $100,000 will be set aside for the normal, agricultural and mechanical college that is located in this city. It has been found, after some investigation, that the money for the Peabody Normal school, such as has been used from time to time for that school, where only whites attend, should have been divided in proportion to the population wherever the schools were separate, between the negroes and whites, but since there was no distinctly negro school until recently, it is supposed that this accounts for the failure to divide the fund. A despatch recently appeared in the Memphis Schmitar to the effect that an agreement had been reached and that when a division of the fund, which was bequeathed to the "deserving youth of the south," is made so that the proposed Peabody Normal might not encounter any breakers in the future, something over $100,000 would be given to the negroes. The discussion of this Peabody fund continually through the papers has brought to light the notable Slatter fund, which is another evidence of the philanthropic spirit shown by true Americans, who look to the future of the youth of the sunny south. It could not be learned whether the three men of the faculty of the school were giving any attention to these reported rumors concerning the division of the fund, but it was supposed that the superintendent of the state board would look well into the securing of whatever moneyes that belonged to the school, all of which could be used to a great advantage in the coming educational effort. With the already one hundred and fifty thousand added to the one hundred thousand or more that would come from the Peabody fund and the few thousand of dollars that is due from the Morill fund, the agricultural, normal and mechanical school for negroes will have over $300,000 to begin its career and to take its place among the educational institutions of Tennessee. This is a sufficient amount to put the young institution at the head of its class in so far as equipment of buildings is concerned. No school in Tennessee will have more backing and there are but few agricultural institutions in the south that have more land already in their possession, and none with a better location than the site already selected. The administration building is by actual measurement on an elevation within ten feet of that occupied by the state capitol. When the buildings are erected, they will, like the capitol of Tennessee, be the only buildings to be seen from every point in Nashville. HOUSEHOLD SNAKES GIBOIAS ARE USED AS DOMESTIC RAT CATCHERS IN BRAZIL. In certain parts of Brazil, where the climate is intensely hot and where rats are a great nuisance, the common cat does not thrive, but is replaced by a domestic rat catcher whose presence causes a decidedly unpleasant sensation to visitors from the north when first they come in contact with the creature. Gibolas are a species of small boa constrictor employed very generally in Brazil for the purpose above mentioned. They are not at all venomous. They sleep in the house, generally taking up their position at the foot of the stairs. When nightfall approaches they begin to wake up, and during the night they slide swiftly about the premises, looking for rats. Gibolas are offered for sale in the markets of Bahia and Pernambuco for prices ranging $1 to $5, according to the size of the creature. It is said that they are so easily domesticated that if removed from one house to another they invariably return to the house whence they have been taken. Often when one is bargaining with a broker for the sale or lease of a residence in certain parts of Brazil the broker will expatiate with great eloquence upon the virtues and skill of the gibola that goes with it.—Harper's Weekly.

LEE, PRESIDENT OF MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE, DROPS DEAD AT XENIA, OHIO. Xenia, Ohio.—While seated at the dinner table in Arnett hall at Wilberforce university, Rev. E. W. Lee, president of Morris Brown university, at Atlanta, Ga., dropped dead of heart failure. Rev. Mr. Lee was one of the leading negro educators of the south and was also foremost in financial affairs of the African Methodist Episcopal church. He was re-elected president of Morris Brown college on the 1st of June and had before that held the position three years. Prior to accepting the presidency he had been treasurer of the institution for sixteen years. He was, at the time of his death, a candidate for the bishopric and had been favorably reported upon by the board. Rev. Mr. Lee was born in Georgia 51 years ago and was a graduate of Clark university and Gammon Theological seminary. He filled many large pastorates during his career as a minister, among these being Allen Temple and Big Bethel church, of Atlanta, and Stewart A. M. E. church of Macon. He was a presiding elder and for eight years had been a member of the church extension board, which handled all funds advanced to colored churches in need of assistance, three years a member of the financial board and at the time of his death was secretary of the auditing board. He had hundreds of friends in Atlanta among the white people as well as the colored. OLD TIME SCHOOLS METHODS IN DAYS WHEN "NO LICKIN' NO LARNIN'", WAS THE RULE. The schoolroom practices of a half century ago are incredible to a modern pupil. It is well that they have not been continued, but an account of them by an eye witness is often amusing. One incident from A. H. Hall's "Old Bradford"《Schooldays》 brings up a teacher who clung to the old principle, "No lickin', no larnin'". Horace Walton, at recess, climbed to the top of the highest nut tree, and, losing his hold, fell to the ground. He struck on many of the limbs in his descent. The bays were terribly frightened as he struck the ground. Just as we crowded about him to see if he still lived, our faces as white as his, the bell rang for the resumption of studies. The last boy in was Walton, and just as he fell rather than sat down in his seat the master shouted: "Come out here instanter!" He gave him a flogging that made the fall from the tree seem the lesser of the two evils. A few years ago, meeting Walton for the first time in many years, he remarked that he, well remembered how that master at last succeeded in bringing things into routine order in the school. Each morning as the school assembled this order was observed: First bell, come to order; second bell, attention; third bell, lick Walton." THE NAME STUCK AND YET THE MAN WHO OWNED IT DIDN'T FEEL AT ALL FLATTERED. They had been speaking of namesakes, and one of the group had mentioned with pride that not only were four nephews and two grandsons his namesakes, but that a business block lately built in his native town had taken its name from him. "And I like it," he said heartily. "I consider it an honor. You know how I feel," he added, turning to one of his friends. "I hadn't been in your little town more than an hour before I saw your name at the turn of a road, 'Howard's Corner.' You must admit it's gratifying." "May be to you," said the other man dryly, "but, as it happens, the reason that's called 'Howard's Corner' is be cause, when I was about 20 and knew more than I ever have since, I took the girl that I was courting out in a new top buggy with a livery stable horse and tried to show off how sharp a turn I could make. "I tipped her out just as a party of summer boarders came along. The buggy was smashed up some, and the girl rode off with the boarders, mad as a hornet. There was a young man among them whom she afterward married. "I don't begrudge her to him, for I got a finer girl later on, but when the name the boarders gave that place in the road stuck and by and by was put up on the signboard while I was out west I can't say that it ever struck me as any special cause for pride."—Youth's Companion. THE NAPIERS MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL DONATION. Nashville, Tenn.-Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier of this city have recently made a donation of $4,000 toward the American College for the Training of Religious and Moral Workers, an institution recently organized in this city for the training of social and religious workers. CHICAGO NEGROES MAKING HEADWAY "Black Belt" of the Windy City Is Rapidly Becoming Depopulated. THRIFTY AND INDUSTRIUS CHICAGO NEGROES OWN $MUCH PROPERTY AND ARE VERY PROGRESSIVE. Chicago.—Less than a decade ago the "Black Belt" of Chicago held practically the bulk of the negro population. State street from the loop to Seventy-ninth street was the natural dividing line between the "belt" and the more favored section to the east. The hygienic and moral conditions west of State street imbued the progressive negroes with a desire to secure better environments and this found expression in the "exodus." "East of State" became the slogan. Discussing the conditions that prevailed in the "Black Belt," Assistlain State's Attorney F. L. Barnett recently made the statement that in houses occupied by negroes in the district bounded on the north by Twenty-second street, on the east by State street, on the south by Twenty-ninth street and on the west by Wentworth avenue, a district having a population of 20,000, there were only ten bath tubs. The rooms were frequently ill lighted, poorly ventilated, overcrowded and breeding places for tuberculosis germs. In addition denizens of the red light district, driven by the police from their old haunts, found little difficulty in renting houses in the "belt." Crime grew apace. These conditions combined to make the progressive element of the negroes burst the confines of the "belt" and the exodus "east of State" began. At the inception of this movement, according to Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, wife of the assistant state's attorney, whose indefatigable work for the uplift of her race covers a long period of years, there were not more than ten colored families east of State street. Real estate agents did not deem it advisable to rent to colored tenants. But they were often willing to sell to negroes, providing an incentive for the acquisition of property. Real estate thus sold to negroes was purchased on the installment plan. Nevertheless many of them were frequently able to pay from $100 to $500 down. Ready industry and thrift have told their tale until at this day, once more quoting Mrs. Wells-Barnett, there is not one black east of State street that has not at least one colored family. Whole blocks on fine residential streets are now occupied by negroes. Former County Commissioner Oscar DePriest, now engaged in the real estate business, says that in the last two years, in the district between Thirty-first and Thirty-ninth street and Cottage Grove avenue and State street, he has rented houses to 150 colored families. He adds that friction between the races has been remarkable for its absence and denies that the renting of property to colored tenants caused it to deteriorate in value. Mr. DePriest, himself a colored man, owns property worth $20,000. SENSE OF DANGER DEVELOPED TO A MARKED DEGREE IN MEN WHO WORK IN MINES. There is something about mines that appeals to the superstitions of mankind, writes T. Lane Carter in the Mining and Scientific Press. One of the most marked effects he has noticed in men who have spent most of their life in mining is a sense of danger that suddenly comes over them. "Some would call this faculty the sixth sense," he writes. "If you asked a miner how he knows there is something wrong he will reply that he feels it. I had a remarkable illustration of this a few years ago. "I was walking along a main drift with a mine captain, a man who had been working in mines for over forty years, having started as a lad in the mines of Cornwall. Suddenly he stopped and exclaimed that something was wrong. "For the life of me I could not see a thing amiss. The timbers seemed solid, and the drive pillars looked secure. But the captain was not satisfied and insisted on climbing into the stope to investigate. There he found a large crack, running for hundreds of feet, indicating a movement of the strata of serious proportions. "Had this discovery not been made in time there would have been a serious accident in the mine, with a probable loss of life. I dare say the years of experience in the mine had developed a power in him which the men called superstition, but which was really the faculty of accurate observation, which to him seemed unconscious." . AWFUL PROSPECT. "We got forty-eight wedding presents." "You're lucky." "We are not. Every one came from friends who are engaged to be married." SENATOR BAILEY TALKS ON NEGRO PROBLEM HE SAYS NEGRO MUST RECOGNIZE INFERIORITY IF PEACE IS TO PREVAIL Washington.—Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, addressing a gathering of Confederate veterans, declared that if the two races are to live in peace in this country it must be with the black race in constant recognition of its inferiority. Speaking of Jefferson Davis, in observance of whose birthday the gathering was held, Senator Bailey said he was less responsible for the conflict between the states than any other man, and was the last man in all the south to abandon the hope of a reconcliliation. "The truth of history was with the Confederate people," said the senator. "The fathers would never have formed this union if they had not believed that it could be dissolved for cause. If the southern people believed they could not remain in the union with honor and safety they had a right to secede." There was applause when Senator Bailey presented an aged negro, James A. Jones, who had served as Mr. Davis' body servant. "He is the only man living," said Senator Bailey, "who knows where the seal of the Confederate states is, and he won't tell." Many shook hands with the old negro, who had Jefferson Davis' cane with him. WOMEN IN WALL STREET THEY ARE GOOD WINNERS, BUT DROWN THEIR LOSSES To many brokers women are hoodoos, and some stock exchange houses refuse absolutely to have anything to do with the fair sex. The majority of brokerage firms try their best to keep women's speculative accounts out of their offices. Some houses are obliged to take women's accounts as a matter of personal friendship, but they will not open accounts for other women, no matter how well they may be introduced. Wall street men do not have a high opinion of the average woman's business sense. Most women have an idea that one needs only to get a "tip" from some "insider" in Wall street to be sure of making "barrels of money" —for new gowns, hats and jewelry. The dictum of Wall street is that women are good winners, but bad losers. It is difficult to reason about money and business with an angry or weeping woman. Her view of Wall street and all its works' suddenly becomes entirely emotional, and only a broker with infinite patience can calm her. Many a time a stock exchange house has taken a woman customer's loss rather than face her tears.—Strand Magazine. QUAIL SHOOTING SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES THAT CONFRONT THE MAN WITH THE GUN. "One of the difficulties of quall shooting lies in the very fact that would apparently make his killing a simple proposition, his rising near the gun," says Charles Askla in Outing. "Let me illustrate. If a quall rose within ten feet of the gun and continued sailing around the shooter's head at a mile a minute gait the chances are that he couldn't be killed in ten shots, both the bird and the gun changing angle with a rapidly beyond the ability of the mind to calculate. In the same way a close springing bird may change his angle with regard to the gun so rapidly as to entail a long and accurate swing before he can be covered. The nature of the quail's flight frequently makes this long swing unavoidable. The bird may rise to the north, pass to the west and be killed to the south. Had it been possible to foresee that the bird would swing about to the south before being killed the gun might have been pointed there, rendering unnecessary a complex gun movement, but meantime the quarry would probably have gone in some other direction. The quail work that calls for care and skill is cover shooting, and the only safe rule there is to point your gun as near the bird as you can when he breaks and shoot as quickly as you can get on." LYON ON LIBERIA. Lynchburg, Va.—Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former minister resident and consul general at Monrovia, Liberia, delivered an address on "The Future of Liberia" at the Jackson Street M. E. church. He spoke eloquently of the people of the little west African republic, their struggles, their economic possibilities, and ended by predicting a hopeful future for that former asylum of colored Americans. A large audience greeted the diplomat. Dr. Lyons now enjoys the honor of being Liberian consul to this country. A CONTRIBUTION FROM PRESIDENT DTAFT. Tuskegee, Ala.—President William H. Tatt has just sent to Dr. Booker, T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, his personal check for $100 as an contribution toward the endowment fund of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Of Interest to Our Women SYSTEM IN DRESSING. EXTERMINATING FLEAS. One of the best dressed women in Paris has a rule that she follows in choosing her clothes which has made her wardrobe the success that it is, says a writer. Perhaps some girl who is planning her summer outfit may profit by the recipe. Says the clever French woman: "I buy only four new gowns a year, get one in the spring, one in the summer, another in the autumn and the last in the winter. In these gowns, I, I specialize. I let each represent a class. One year I will get a good tailored suit, an evening dress, a fine negligee, perhaps, and so on. Another year I will choose a morning gown, an afternoon frock, a dance dress, and, of course, if necessary, have some remodeling done to last year's wardrobe. In this way I have a good toilet for every occasion. "Then I spend the rest of my allowance on the smartest and best neckwear, vells, gloves, stockings and other little things that I can afford. These dress et ceteras, if they are dalny and smart, count more for effect in the long run than fine dresses without them. If you can't have both, get olain or conservative suits and dresses and add chic and vary their monitoring with little things. Hats, vells, neck fixings and gloves have a lot to do with the smartness of one's appearance. An expensive suit with the wrong nut doesn't look half so well as a less costly suit with the right hat." HOMELY FACES. Did you ever think of your face as a picture that should be framed to bring out its beauty? No? Probably you don't. Nevertheles the face does require framing and an ambient should be former of the hair or the hat, or by clever draping of a filmy scarf over the head. Hair that is drawn back too tightly or an overornate collar both detract from the charm of the face they frame, while a hat with a harsh outline or too vivid a color is like an ugly frame about a picture. The Spanish women understand to the fullest this secret of making an ambient of a mantilla, with a rose thrust in behind the ear, and just so will a French woman draw out her hair lightly and add a frill of lace inside her hat to soften the lines about her face. Collars that are too high and tight or huge bows under the chin are also unbecoming and spoil the contour of the face, and all these can so readily be avoided it seems a pity that the woman does not stop to remember them. Fashions are chic only when they are becoming, after all, and individuality must be always introduced, so why not introduce it in the shape of your hat or the style of your collure, or the soft neck frills, so that the whole head becomes a part of a clever little beauty scheme. CLEAN LACE VEIL WITH CORN- MEAL. It is quite possible to clean a lace face veil by rubbing it through white cornmeal. Often times the process must be repeated to have the veil perfectly fresh. If, however, a veil is light colored it may need soap and water. Make a lather of pure white soap and tepid water. Squeeze the veil through the suds but do not rub it. Rinse several times in tepid water, adding a drop of bluing to the last rinsing water. If the veil is very fine and needs a little body, rinse it after bluing in a weak gum arable water. The veil that is washed in this way is better ironed. Lay a piece of thin muslin over the veil and press it with a moderately warm iron until quite dry. Vells should be rolled on a tube to keep them in the best possible condition. Each vell should be kept on a separate tube.—Boston Globe. SAVING FROCKS. The summer frock of mull and lingerie in dainty colorings is certainly most attractive, but only so long as it is fresh. To keep gowns in this condition when away from home is a problem that a girl I know has solved. She has frocks in pink, blue and mauve. All are made with something white about the neck and lower part of the sleeves, which are separate and can be quickly laundered. As the bottom of the skirt is apt to gather and grime, she provides hems of white, but of the same material as the dress, which she rewrites as required. The result is the girl is always attractively gowned, and the bit of white about the feet gives a kind of Frenchy touch to the toilet. The new hem can be applied in less than half an hour by hand, which any girl will be willing to give to bring about such happy results. WIDER SKIRTS. The new spring frocks show a develded leaning toward wider skirts. On the whole it seems safe to wager that the very narrow straight skirt has raised its heyday of popularity and will be dropped even by the extremists, the conservatives never having accepted it in its pronounced-phases. Something over a year ago we collected all the information we could find on the subject of exterminating fleas and published it. We are reproducing herewith a number of suggestions which we gathered from different sources at that time. "There is nothing like wool. Get pieces of wool direct from the sheep and place them in the infested room 10 feet apart. The fleas will get mixed up in the wool, thinking it is mutton, and their rough feet hold them there and they soon die." "We had a raccoon in our basement with fleas. We used strong boiling salt water. One application, and goodbye fleas." "Try fly paper, placing a piece of raw beefsteak in center of each sheet, and lay around on the floor." "The only way to get rid of fleas is to put plenty of sticky fly paper around. Fleas, as you probably know, like light colors, and fly paper attracts them in the most satisfactory manner." "Don't fail to use pennyroyal oil. If it falls, set me down with the rest of the cranks." "Use a little sassafras oil. It may not kill them, but it will drive them away." "After being almost eaten out of house and home we sent to the village and got some air-slaked lime, came home and at once sowed it thickly all over the barn and shed floors, and in the out-houses and hog nests, letting it reach well up the sides of every place. We sowed it along the paths leading to the house, and when we reached the house we 'stayed not our hand.' We had torn up and removed every carpet and the floors were, in consequence, all of them bare. We took the lime inside, scattering it thickly over all the floors. We used the rooms as little as possible to save our shoes, and two days after the 'seeding down' we loosely swept the lime off the floor, leaving a goodly quantity about the cracks and crevices. Then, over the floors, one at a time, we poured boiling water, and again swept it up; we did every room that way, and then we scrubbed the floors and began to use the rooms. We even relaid the carpets. Of course, the lime was unpleasant for a few days, but after we got rid of the fleas life was worth living."—Wallace's Farmer. FOURTEEN FLY POINTERS 1. Keep the files away from the sick, especially those ill with contagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the slick room. His body is covered with disease germs. 2. Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises. 3. All refuse which tends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding straw, paper waste and vegetable matter should be disposed of or covered with lime or kerosene. 4. Screen all foods. 5. Keep all receptacles for garbage covered and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil or lime. 6. Keep all stable manure in covered vault or pit, or use phosphate rock freely as an absorbent. 7. See that your sewerage system is in good order. 8. Pour kerosene into the drains. 9. Cover food after a meal; burn or bury all table refuse. 10. Screen all food exposed for sale. 11. Screen all windows and doors, especially the kitchen and dining room. 12. Burn pyrethrum powder in the house to kill the files. 13. Don't forget if you see files, that their breeding place is in nearby filth. It may be behind the door, under the table or in the cuspidor. 14. If there is no dirt and filth, there will be no files.-Selected RECIPES. Rice Biscuit.—One cup boiled rice, one egg, quarer cup sugar, pinch of salt, one tablespoon butter, half cup milk, one and one-half cups pastry flour with two teaspoons baking powder. Bake in hot gem pans. Graham Gems Without Eggs.—Two cups graham flour, 12 cups white flour, one-third cup sugar, two cups sour milk, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon salt. Bake 20 or 25 minutes in a very hot oven. This will make one dozen gems. Turkish Macaroni.—Break one pound of macaroni in one-inch pieces and boll until tender; drain and rinse; add one pint tomatoes, thickened with two tablespoons each of flour and butter, salt and pepper to taste and one-half cup of blanched almonds cut in strips; simmer for 15 minutes; turn in a hot dish and serve. This dish must be sprinkled thickly with grated cheese before sending to the table. Tomatoes and Macaroni.—Cook one-half pound of macaroni until tender in salted water. Scald one-half plot of cream. In this stir one-half pound of cheese, cut very thin, until all dissolved. Add a tablespoon, heaping, of butter, a pinch of salt and paprika.

HOW TO LOVE GOD A Sermon Keep yourselves in the love of God. —Jude, 21. Although the Bible in many places tells us to love God, the honest Christian will acknowledge, albeit sorrowfully and reluctantly, that he does not obey. He wants to love God, and tries to love him, but he does not love him. His remissness presses him sorely: Will God own him as his child? Will God accept anyone, no matter how faithful his service, who does not feel the burning, enthusiastic love the Bible seems to command? But how can we love God? We have never seen him, and the abstract statements that form our only description of him are inadequate to be a basis for the imagination to build on. Even when we conjure up in our minds a picture of the almighty creator of heaven and earth we are guilty of mental idolatry. The command to make no image or likeness of God was given for the very reason that our ignorance causes our best endeavor to be only a base caricature. God is so far above our thoughts, as well as our sight, that any conception of his personality, though it be the sublimest vision ever dreamed by prophet, poet or philosopher, fails so infinitely short of the reality as to be almost an insult to omnipotent greatness. Hence the Father sent the Son into the world to become a man. We are able to know Jesus and to love him. We can grasp his personality, think intelligently about him and bring him before our mind's eye as a real, tangible man capable of inspiring love. Certainly all Christians do not love Jesus in near, personal fashion; but such love is entirely possible, and the reason that some do not so love him is that their imagination is not vivid enough to put life and reality into his picture as painted in the Gospel. But the Bible tells us to love the Father also; yet if much is said about our duty of loving God, far more is said about God's love for us. The Bible is full of it. It is the burden of the whole book. The Bible would never have been written except that God loved us. His love it the excuse for the Bible, the reason for it, and the justification of it. We must love God in return; yet as there are two kinds of love, we can love him in one way, even though we cannot love him in the other way. The two kinds of love are active love and passive love. Love is a reciprocal feeling; and of every two human lovers, be they parent and child, husband and wife, or friend and friend, one of them loves actively and gives, while the other loves passively and receives—rejoicing not so much in loving as in being loved. The parent loves the child with an active, self-sacrificing love. The dutiful child professes to love the parent; but the child's love is passive—the child receives; it trusts and depends on the parent. Since God is our Father, it is natural that he should have for us the father love, while our love for him should not be parental, but child love—the love of a trusting child that depends on its father and obeys him and respects his will and loves to lie back in the great encircling arms of his enfolding love. God's love is active, and our love should be passive, answering back to his love, corresponding to it, fitting into it, but not like it, because it is against reason that the child should love with the same sort of love as the Father. Our love should correspond to God's love as a ball fits into the socket, or as a lock answers to its own key, or as a knife goes with a fork, or a cup with a saucer. The Father gives graciously; the child should receive gratefully. I do not, I can not, love God just as he loves me; but when I am glad to know that he loves me, all unworthy as I am; when I rejoice to think of his care for me, his undutiful child; when I trust his providence to supply my needs; when I am entirely willing to submit myself to his unerring eye to choose my path and to guide my feet; when I still believe with unfaltering faith even though I do not clearly understand his plans for my life; when the thought of his care and his wisdom and his strength and his goodness brings comfort to my heart—why, then I am loving God. I am resting in his love as a child cuddles up in the lap of its mother. I am experiencing the emotion that, one-half the times we use the word, we call love—I am loving God. Certainly, I cannot say "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee." That expresses active love, and only God can say it. But I can say this: "I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my stony rock and my defense. The saviour, my God and my might, in whom I will trust; my buckler, the horn also of my salvation and my refuge." The love that we feel for God is a responsive love, not an original love; but the answer to his love, the response of our hearts to his heart. Thus St. John says: "We love him because he first loved us;" and again, "Herein is love; not that we loved God (not actively, that is), but that he loved us." And when the text says "Keep yourselves in the love of God" it does not mean keep on loving God, but keep on believing and rejoicing that God loves you; keep on resting in God's love. SAVING THE YOUNG MAN Isalah Lafayette Moore. There are many things in the mind of the Afro-American people of today, but the most important among them all is the thought of saving the young man or, in other words, saving the future political, social, religious and educational career of the negro race, all of which depends, to a very large degree, on the present generation of young men. Not only is the negro being haunted by these thoughts, but long before now they have ravished and illuminated the hearts and minds of the thinking and intelligent classes of other races who, realizing the great responsibilities that will soon rest upon the shoulders of their young men, have made and are making special preparation for their intellectual uplift in science, in literature, in art, and in industrialism. They mean for them to go forward and gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding; to ascend the lofty heights accessible to man, and to steer the old vessel of war against sin and ignorance. No race has ever accomplished much that lived and flourished in one generation only, and at its close disappeared from the stage of action. No race has ever accomplished much that lived, from generation to generation and overlooked the possibilities of its young men. The race that lived and flourished in the receded generations and is still living and making progress in the world of knowledge and understanding is that race that realized the development, the future responsibilities and requirements of its young men; and until the men of our race realize, as other races have done, the indispensability of the young man, the negro race will in no wise, ever as a people, accomplish its alms in life. It is sometimes thought that a young man ought to be a great man because he descended from a family of nobility, honor and attainment. But the world today realizes the fact that it is not propotency that makes a man, but the will and determination of a man to be a man. Around him good and uplifting environments; strong teaching and counsel of older and experienced men, all based on the teachings of the Bible together with propotency are what make a man we desire. In looking at the acorn we can never predict the kind and value of the oak it will bring forth. This fact holds true in speaking of the young man. Many a young man from royal and good families has brought himself down in a state of shameful disgrace, all due to low ambitions and the turning of a deaf ear to the loud and thrilling cries of wisdom. The wisdom of men at the head of true, noble and honorable manhood, pleads with young men to allow wise counsel to enter into their lives. Even after they have fallen, if they will but heed such, it will wipe out all the demoralizing things of earth, and raise their heads from the slums and low places to noble, honorable and respectable individuals. There are deducting, yet low, degrading problems that confront every young man, but that young man that has heeded mother's advice, turned in another direction, and with the placid voice of mother ringing in his ear, the love and respect for her burning in his heart, and mastering self until entirely lost in the thoughts of noble manhood overcomes attractions of temptations. Saving the young men of today is saving the world of tomorrow. Mr. George R. Knox in his book entitled "Ready Money," says, "The world needs men—large-hearted and manly men, men who will join in the chorus and prolong the psalm of labor and of life. The age wants heroes, heroes who shall dare to struggle in the solemn ranks of truth and clutch the ministers by-the throat and bear opinion to a loftier seat; to blot the errors of oppression out and lead a universal freedom in." In order to answer this call for men, we will have to teach our young men the demoralization in strong drink, gambling and immorality. We will have to teach them the importance of religious service in the uplift of humanity. No individual that has ever risen to a respectable height of recognition denies the power and influence of Christianity. Christ walked the avenues of young manhood and closed his mission at thirty-three years of age, conquered sin, death and the grave, in the young manhood of his life, and took back to his heavenly father these victims. Amid songs and the joys of angels, he laid them at his feet as the work of a true, loving and noble son. THE TROUBLE. Two old settlers sat smoking in a cabin far away in the backwoods. No woman's hand desecrated that domain, and grime reigned supreme and triumphant. The conversation drifted from politics to cooking. "Yaa,," said the elder of the two, with a drawl, "I did get one of them there cook books wasnt, but I could never do nothing with it." "What was the hitch?" inquired the other. "Well, every one of those recipes began in the same way, with the same words. Every one said, 'Take a clean dish—and I never got no further.'"—Tit-Bits. The Farm HARROWING YOUNG CORN. After planting, whether listed or surface planted, corn should be harrowed once or twice before it comes up, says Prof. A. M. Ten Eyck in an article in Orange Judd Farmer. Weather conditions permitting, the harrowing may be continued with good results until the corn is several inches high. With surface-planted corn the harrow may tear out some corn, and with listed corn a few plants are apt to be covered, especially if the ground is trashy. Surface-planted corn may usually be harrowed safely before it is up, or just as it is coming up, but when the shoot is fairly out of the ground it is not best to harrow again until the corn is two or three inches high, and then preferably with a light harrow or weeder. Harrowing when the corn is very small is apt to cover or destroy considerable corn. Do not harrow corn with your eyes shut. Keep them open and if, in your judgment, the corn is being damaged more than it is benefited, do not harrow. FIGHTING CABBAGE WORMS. There are two methods of battling with the cabbage worm. One which is very effective is to sprinkle the heads of the cabbage with pepper when the worms are at work on them. This should be repeated two or three times in a couple of weeks and should be done immediately upon the discovery of the pest. Another method that serves the purpose well is to sprinkle unslaked lime over the head and leaves. This latter method has the advantage of being economical, which makes some difference in a case where large crops are involved. Either one of these treatments will make it tough for the cabbage worm—Agricultural Epitomist. WOOD ASHES FOR PEAR BLIGHT. I notice in an issue of recent date where some one says he has tried salt for blight on pear trees and thinks it helped. If so, there must have been potash in the salt. I have been experimenting for more than a year with good wood ashes on a nice young pear tree. I scraped the dirt away from the roots and put some five or six bushels of ashes around the tree, and my wife now puts most of the ashes from the cook stove around the tree. Since I commenced this practice I do not see any sign of blight on the tree. I think now that if one would use a gallon a year of murlate of potash, or more if necessary, one might be able to keep his trees free from blight.—I. M. Blakely, Greenville, S. C., in the Inland Farmer. DRINK MILK SLOWLY. The proper way of drinking milk is little understood. Thousands of people drink a glass of milk without removing the receptacle from their lips. No sooner does this mass of milk reach the stomach than the gastric juices curdle it and form masses of hard, tough and impenetrable curd. If the digestion is sufficiently vigorous it may be taken care of, but few have such digestion. If the milk were taken slowly, at the same time a piece of bread being taken, it would be finely divided, and the curd would be broken up and the processes of digestion would proceed rapidly. However, it is an evident rule that milk should never be taken rapidly in any considerable quantity, but should be slowly sipped or taken with a spoon, or in connection with bread or some dry cereal. FACTS ABOUT CORN. Corn, planted upon land which has long been in corn is likely to suffer from the attacks of corn root lice. Corn planted on land recently in sod is likely to suffer from attacks of white grubs, wire worms and cut worms. Corn must not follow corn when the corn root worm is abundant. Corn planted on clover sod, wheat stubble, oat stubble, cowpea or soybean land, unless too recently out of grass sod, is likely to be absolutely free from serious insect attack. Corn success is due in great measure to proper variety selections. Journal of Agriculture. JOSH BILLINGS ON AGRICULTURE.

CITY MEN MAKE GOOD FARMERS. A million acres is now being put in crop by 14,000 farmers through the results of activities of the reclamation bureau, according to the statistician, today. The federal government, through its reclamation service, has been spending millions in the construction of irrigation works to reclaim arid lands in the west for homeseekers. The statistician is sending out literature giving information regarding the location of these farms now available to the settlers. "One of the most hopeful signs in connection with the desert's reclamation is the surprisingly large number of people who have left the cities and towns to take up these farms and who have made good," says the statistician. "Notwithstanding a lack of knowledge of farming and a total unfamiliarity with conditions in an irrigated country, the percentage of failures is very small. The question, Can a merchant, mechanic, lawyer, doctor or men of others professions succeed as farmers in the west? has been answered. Given good health, a small capital to make a start and a willingness to work hard, the answer in most cases is 'Yes.'" NEW DEMAND FOR GOAT SKINS Goat skins, as well as calf skins, are being used by motor car makers for upholstering and with the nationwide demand for autos, growers are naturally in a pleasant mood. A Texas man who has always been satisfied with 65 cents per head for his goats before the expansion of the motor industry, is now receiving $2.50 per head. Buyers who make a specialty of his class-of stock say that the surplus in the south is being steadily reduced, and while breeders are responding to the more attractive prices that are being offered, supply is by no means ample. Five years ago a big purchase of goats could be made at almost any cross-roads, but today finds a country sparcely populated with brush-eaters.—Farmers' Home Journal. A LESSON ON COWS. A teacher was giving a "Lesson on the Cow." She was trying to impress on her pupil's mind the various uses of milk. Butter, cheese, etc. had been disposed of, and she wanted some bright child to tell how the farmer gave the surplus milk to the pigs. Leading up to this, she asked the question: "Now, children, after the farmer has made all the butter and cheese he needs and uses what milk he wants for his family, what does he do with the milk that remains?" Dead silence followed for a moment, and then one little hand waved frantically. The teacher smiled and said: "Well Tommy?" "He pours it back into the cow," piped Tommy. SEEDING BROME GRASS. The amount of brome grass seed to sow in this country depends upon a number of conditions. If the soil is not in a very good physical condition more seed should be used than if the soil is well prepared. However, we must not expect to secure a stand of brome grass on dry land unless we have a well-prepared seed bed, and, at that, it may take a year to germinate fully, and two or three seasons to thicken up. In seasons with a great deal of moisture we should use a larger amount of seed, because the excess of water would promote larger growth. Taking it on the whole, we should sow from eight to fourteen pounds the acre. A depth of from one-half to one and one-half inches will not be too deep for the seed.—Denver Field and Farm. ADULTERATED OATS. In one of the pure food decisions recently rendered the Pendleton Grain company of St. Louis was fined $20 and costs for shipping to Louisiana a lot of oats invoiced and sold as No. 3 white oats. It was found that these oats contained a little over 70 per cent of genuine oats, 8 per cent of barley and about 22 per cent of weed seeds and chaff. The charge was that these oats had been mixed with barley seed, weed seeds and chaff, so as to reduce, lower and injuriously affect its quality. The defendants pleaded guilty, but were let off with a nominal fine, as it was perhaps one of the first cases of the kind—Louisiana Planter. TOOK IT FOR GRANTED. He had been calling on her twice a week for six months, but had, not proposed. He was a wise young man and therefore didn't think it necessary. "Ethel," he said, as they were talking a moonlight stole one evening, "I—er—am going to ask you an important question." "Oh, George," she exclaimed, "this is so sudden. Why, I—" "What I want to ask you is this," he interrupted. "What date have you and your mother decided upon for a wedding?"—Chicago News. MADE HIMSELF BLUSH TRICK BY WHICH AN ACTOR ACHIEVED A REALISTIC STAGE EFFECT. Daniel Frohman in his "Memories of a Manager" tells of a muscular trick by which Mr. F. F. Mackay achieved an astonishing stage effect. It was in Bronson Howard's "One of Our Girls." Mr. Mackay was playing the part of a French count, who, in one of the chief situations of the play, is slapped in the face with a glove by an English officer. Mr. Howard's idea was that the count should become violent and furious at the affront, but Mr. Mackay contended that as he had been shown in the play to be an expert duellist and accustomed to danger he was not likely to lose control of himself. Mr. Howard say the point. The result was that the Frenchman received the insult without the movement of a muscle. He stood rigid. Only a flash of the eye for an instant revealed his emotion. Then the audience saw his face grow red and then pale. This was followed by the quiet announcement from the count that he would send his seconds to the Englishman. This exhibition of facial emotion betrayed by the visible rush of blood to the actor's face was frequently noted at the time. It was a muscular trick Mr. Mackay put on a tight collar for that scene and strained his neck against it until the blood came, and when he released the pressure and the blood receded the effect was reached.

A professor of the University of Pennsylvania, who has greatly endearled himself to the students on account of his kind-heartedness, has one particular failing—that of absent-mindedness. He visited his married nephew a few days ago and had listened to the young wife's praise of her first born. The gentleman felt that he must say something to give the impression that he was interested. "Can the dear little fellow walk?" he inquired quietly. "Walk?" shouted the mother. "Why he has been walking for five months!" he has been walking for five months. "Dear me!" exclaimed the professor, lapsing again into abstraction. "What a long way he must have got!"— Philadelphia Times. LAYING THE GHOST. There are more ways than one of exorcising a ghost. Dr. Thompson, when archbishop of York, was put in to a "haunted room" to spend the night. Next morning his hostess asked eagerly, "Well, did your grace see anything last night?" "Well, yes," replied the archbishop. "At about 12 o'clock I heard a knock at the door." "Oh, that would be the ghost; that is exactly what he does. What did you do? " I said, "Come in." "And did he?" "Yes, an old sallow-looking man. I got out of bed and, went up to him. 'Do you belong to this house?' I asked. He nodded assent. "Are you a parishioner? I asked. Again he nodded assent. 'Then,' said I, I am anxious to build some new schools. Will you give me a subscription? And, my dear lady, he immediately vanished, and I saw no more of him"—London Chronicle. A RISING FINANCIER. The old man was perched upon a high stool figuring up the day's sales of dry goods, groceries and hardware, when his son came in with a rush. "Say, pop," exclaimed the young man, "if I can buy a $300 horse for $150 will you take a chattel mortgage on him and help me out with the cash?" "What kind of a hoss, my son?" inquired the father, cautiously. "Bay, 4 years old, 16 hands high, weighs 1,000 pounds, and sound in wind, limb and bottom." "That sounds good to me, my son, and I want to do all I can to help you along in the world," and he reached down into the safe for his roll. "How much do you want?" "A hundred and forty-nine fifty. I've got half a dollar." Slowly the old man shoved the roll back into the safe. "My son," he said softly, "you are wasting time trading horses. What you ought to do is to go into the loan and trust business."—June Lippincott's. Scraps The best chaperon a married man can have is careless wife. You can tell a pretty girl by the way she expects you to think so. Gentle spring puts fierce runaway notions in the average tamed soul. Some people's business only pleases them when it becomes public business. Take the man with the yellow streak for what he's worth, and don't exact whiteness from him. The simple life often leads to fierce complications. There's weakness in despondency, and strength in hope. The deepest reflections some women have are those of the favorite looking glass. WIT AND HUMOR POSSIBLY. Mr. Briggs—"Here's an article, my dear, a very interesting article, in which a prominent doctor says that a certain cure for nervousness in women is silence—complete silence." Mrs. Briggs (promptly)—"I'll bet anything some fool of a man doctor wrote that!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. EASILY ATTAINED "I am determined to live in luxurious surroundings and eat and drink the best the land affords," said the frankly selfish man. "That ought to be easily arranged," replied Miss Cayenne. "All you have to do is to get a situation as a butler."—Washington Star. MISUNDERSTOOD The verger of a large church, seeing an old woman in one of the seats reserved for some important persons, beckoned to her to come out. But just at that moment the organ started playing. The old woman, never having been in a church containing an organ, startled him and the congregation by calling out, "Ha, man! get somebody younger; ma dancing days are past!"—London Ideas. HIS BUSINESS "Yes," said the old lady, "now that spring is with us, business will pick up with the old man." Asked what he did for a living, she replied: "Well, he sells rabbit feet for watch charms, an' to stave off hoodoos, an' he does fine with rattlesnake rattles, but he makes most at selling young mockin' birds an' prayin' fer rain." A KIND INQUIRY "Capt. —, having been bitten by a fox terrifier chained up at the Lawrence hall, on Saturday, at about 8:15 p. m., will be much obliged if the owner will kindly inform him as to the health of the dog."—Adyt. in Civil and Military. Gazette. This is true courtesy.—London Punch. "Now that your son is through college, what are you going to make of him?" "Can't tell for a couple of years. He went to a coed institution, and he's booked that tar ahead to act as an usher at weddings." Friend—I was just in the art gallery, admiring your "Napoleon after Waterloo." The fidelity of expression on Bonaparte's face is wonderful: Where did you get it? Mr. Dobber—From life. I got my wife to pose for me the morning after she gave her first reception—Puck TOO MUCH TO STAND "Why did you dismiss George, Gladys? He's a good, steady fellow, doing well and would make you a fine husband." "I know all that, but, oh, Gwendolen, I never could be happy with a man who pronounces garage as though it rhymed with carriage." MERELY A THEORY "A curious thing happened in one of the restaurants last night." "What was it?" "There was more applause for 'The Star Spangled Banner' than for 'Dixie' when the orchestra played those two pieces." "How do you account for it?" "I think there were only two or three people in the place' who had not been born north of South Bend." OH. BLISS "He swore she was all the world to him." "Well?" "Ten minutes later he made Atlas look like a rank amateur." "How was that?" "By holding the world on his knee." A NEAT SYSTEM "Have any trouble gettin' to the openin' game, Mickey?" "Nope. I just goes." "Don't th' boss fire you?" "Sure he does. An' de boss next door fires me fren Skippy. Den Skippy takes my job an' I takes Skippy." THEIR LIKENESS Smart Aleck—There is one point of resemblance between aeroplanes and biplanes that's odd. Stupid Pete—What's that? Smart Aleck-They're both try-planes. DIDN'T KNOW THE ADDRESS.

The American people are extremely generous employers when the compensation of an expert organizer, or administrator of a great money-earning enterprise is to be decided; but they are exceedingly niggardly employers when the matter of conducting the affairs of their own government officers is involved. A salary of $50,000 is promptly voted by the directors and stockholders of an important bank or railroad and so long as the man who receives it organizes, extends and administers the property successfully and meets dividends and surplus requirements there is no breath of complaint of criticism. It is, in short, only necessary to "make good." In the government service, on the contrary, except a few men in the customs service, but three administrative officials below the rank of cabinet officer receive a salary as high as $8,000. Including the customs service, there are less than two hundred permanent administrative positions under the government which carry a salary of over $80 per week. Of course it cannot be expected that the great administrators of banks and manufacturing and public-service corporations will give favorable consideration to federal positions of uncertain tenure, carrying compensation scarcely more than family pin money.—William S. Rossiter, in the Atlantic. LOVER'S LAMENT Jane The Lover—Fickleness! She's still chewing de gum I gave her an' she's forgot she knows me! DIET FOR WARM WEATHER. Red meats may be omitted for a fortnight if there is a tendency to skin eruptions. Lamb, fish and chicken, raw eggs and buttermilk make a nourishing spring diet when combined with fresh vegetables, oranges and grape fruit and light salad. Do not overdo physically. Get a change of air for even a few days; if not, do not fight languor to the point of not resting. Lie down in the day and go to bed earlier. Have plenty of fresh air in your rooms, let the sunlight flood them and sit outdoors. Don't stop exercising. Take brisk walks and rest afterward. CARRYING HIS FLY PAPER. A seat near the radiator was the only one vacant in the waiting room of the Union depot when an old man came in carrying several packages. He laid all his bundles beside the seat, then he picked up one, a long, square package, and looked about in perplexity. "I don't dare get this near those steam pipes," he explained to the usher. "You see, it's fly paper, and the directions say to keep in a cool place. "I got it to take with me to Mexico. I wasn't sure I could get any there, and I wanted to be prepared. Flies bother me and I like to swat my share of them." "This slim craze has its disadvantages." "Why do these people put-such faith in a petition to the authorities?". "I dare say they think it is a good way to write their wrongs." "That man is posted on every subject." "Well, if he is posted, it is more than the letters his wife gives him are."
