The Farm LOOK OUT FOR YOUR CATTLE IF YOU LET THEM RUN IN FIELDS. When cattle are allowed to run in stalk fields it frequently happens that a large per cent. die from various causes. All these troubles are classed under the one term—cornstalk disease. In some western fields where there is a second growth of cane stalk late in the fall, an early frost will at times develop in the stalk a deadly poison, hydrocyanic acid, which kills the animals in a very few minutes after eating it, says the Kansas Agricultural college. In the last year or two some of our state experiment stations have been investigating several molds which seem to affect not only cattle, but horses as well. These molds grow quite abundantly upon cornstalks, alfalfa and other forage crops. The death of a great number of animals has been traced directly to the feeding of such affected fodder, hay or corn. These molds, however, must have a certain amount of moisture for their growth, and it has been shown that when the feeds have been properly harvested and sheltered no trouble has resulted. Only in materials exposed to the weather, allowing the development of these lower forms of plant life, has serious trouble been found. In the treatment of these troubles nothing reliable can be given, as disease usually comes on without any warning, and the animal dies suddenly. Much of the trouble can be avoided by allowing the animals only a limited amount of the feed or in the stalk fields a few hours only each day. It is necessary that plenty of pure water should be given frequently and enough of other roughage to keep the animals from gorging, themselves on the fodder. HOW INSECTS PASS THE WINTER. Chinch Bugs—In rubbish and under dead vegetation remaining on the fields. Cornstalk Borer—The larva remains in the base of the corn stubble left in the field from the previous season. Corn Wireworms—Pass the winter on the roots of their food plants that remain on the field. Corn Earworms—Pass the winter in the pupa or resting stage in an earthen cell about two and one-half inches below the surface in corn and cotton fields. Corn Rootworms—These are the larva of the 12-spotted cucumber beetle and pass the winter on various wild weeds left in the fields and which serve as food plants. Grasshoppers—Pass the winter in egg stage in soil at edge of field, in pastures and in waste places. To follow the same crops with each other continuously increases the facilities for the depredation of insect pests attacking these crops. Not only is an intelligent rotation essential in farm practice, but the winter season should be well provided for. When we leave a corn field undisturbed after harvest, allowing the stubble to remain intact till the following spring, we should not be surprised when our crop the following year is seriously injured by cornstalk borer or corn earworm. In view of these considerations and with the available records about the habits, life histories and food plants, and rotation of crops, thorough cultivation is advocated.—Kansas Farmer. POINTS IN PRUNING. The Washington station says that there can be no fixed rule for pruning. Every tree is a rule unto itself and no two trees can always be pruned exactly the same. Trees that have a dense, upright habit or growth, like the Wagner, Rome Beauty, etc., should be cut to strong, outer buds, in order to spread the naturally narrow, compact top. The low-headed tree has many advantages over the high-headed tree. As a rule, no apple trees should be permitted to start its head farther than 18 inches from the ground. A tree with more than 18 inches of stem places its fruiting plane almost entirely out of reach of the average man for thinning, harvesting, etc. In the production of fancy and firstclass fruit, orchardists must keep the plane planes of their trees within easy reach of the ground, for thinning, spraying and harvesting. LIVE STOCK NOTES. Ensilage may be fed to sheep, but roots are better and safer. The best way to be sure of healthy sheep is to give them good feed and the best care you can. Pick out the best lamb in the flock to keep or else buy one of some successful breeder of sheep. Because sheep have warm coats it does not follow that they can be exposed to wet and storms. The colt should early be taught the use of the halter and made to know that his master is his friend. Five minutes' work with a rough cloth on the horse's hide after a hard day's work will do him a lot of good. USEFUL FATTENING FEEDS IF ADDED TO THE RATION GRADUALLY. With proper judgment considerable use can be made of new corn in fattening the early pigs, says the Kansas Farmer. As the pastures begin to grow short new corn that is beginning to dent may be cut and given to the pigs. Care must be taken that they become accustomed to this new corn gradually. By cutting the new corn, stalk and all, a considerable portion of the green leaves and finer parts will be eaten. As the corn becomes more mature and the ration increases the hogs will eat less and less of the fodder until they are on practically a full feed of corn. It is seldom profitable to fatten hogs on a full ration of corn alone in a dry lot. They soon cease to thrive and will not eat as large a ration as is desired. The balanced ration will yield the largest gains and almost invariably the cheapest gains. Alfalfa pasture or good, bright alfalfa hay of the fourth or fifth cutting supplied to fattening hogs will be a very efficient and economical means of balancing the corn ration. It supplies the protein, which is deficient in corn, and gives variety to the ration. Soy beans, where available, will serve the same purpose, given as a fifth, part of the ration. Any feed, if rich in digestible protein, may be used with profit unless too high in price. The latest feeding stuff to be used for this purpose is the packing house byproduct called "tankage" or "meat meal." This highly nitrogenous product, while high in price, is so rich in protein that only a small amount is required. It has been successfully and profitably fed by so many experiment stations and practical men that there can be no doubt as to its value. To a fattening hog of 150 pounds weight one-half pound of tankage daily is sufficient. Care must be taken that there is sufficient trough room for each hog to receive its proper allowance. While corn is the chief grain for fattening hogs, almost any of the cereals may be used. Kaffir corn is very similar in composition and if ground and properly balanced gives results very nearly as good as corn. Wheat is fully the equal of corn, pound for pound—in fact, hogs will do better on wheat alone than on corn alone. When wheat is about the same price per pound as corn or only a little higher, it will pay to use it. Barley is not rellished quite as well by hogs as corn, but can be used as a faltening grain. For breeding stock it is better than corn. Cottonseed meal, although one of our richest feeds, is never safe for hogs, as far as we know as present. It may be fed for limited periods and in small quantities with good results. STIMULATING THE SHEEP. The following extraordinary statement appears in a consular report dealing with the trade of San Francisco during the year 1910: "According to Prof. Silas Wentworth of Los Gatos, Cal., his experiments with electric influence on animals and vegetable life at his experimental farm on the Tyler ranch near Roseville during the past year have proved that electricity will more than double the lamb crop and greatly increases the yield of wool. A flock of 2,000 sheep was divided, one-half being placed in a field under the power wires of the Great Western Power company, while the other was removed from electric influences. In the field under the electric power line the production of lambs averaged a fraction over two lambs to each ewe. In the adjoining field where electrical influence was lacking the lamb average was less than one to each ewe. Similar differences were noted in the yield of wool from the sheep in the different fields. The fleeces from the sheep in the electrically-influenced field proved 20 per cent. heavier. Preparations are being made to plow up both fields and plant wheat, when the effect of the current on the growth of that cereal will be tested." THE IMPERIOUS HIRED MAN. The funniest thing we have heard of in relation to the hired help problem comes from a prominent eastern Jersey man, who writes as follows: "The last hired man that applied for a position with me wanted to exchange references. He wanted to know if I paid my men promptly, also if I could furnish him a letter from my last hired man, telling just how well I fed and treated him, etc. This hired help problem has fast brought gray hairs upon my head."—Jersey Bulletin. HORSE NOTES. Your horse may intend to please you, but does not understand your wishes. You can get no more power from your horse than you give him in his food. Good feed will put life into a horse a hundred times better than an eight-foot whip. POETRY of and by Our People There is no height, no depth, that could set us part— Body of mine and soul of mine, heart of my heart. There is no hell so sunken, no heaven so high. That I could not come to you if I heard you cry. There is no sea so deep, no mountain so steep. Whero I could not seek you and find you and keep. Now you are round and soft, and sweet as a rose; Not a stain on my spotless one, white as the snows. If some day you come to me heavy with sin, I, your mother, would run to the door and let you in. I would wash you, white again with my tears and grief. Body and mind and soul of mine, till you found relief. Though you had slinned all sins there are 'twirl east and west. You should find my arms wide for you, your head on my breast. Child, if I were in heaven and you were in hell— Angels white as my spotless one stumbled and fell— I would leave the fields of God and Queen Mary's feet. Straight to the heart of hell would go seeking my sweet. God, mayhap, would turn him at sound of the door; "Who is it goes out from me, to come back no more?" Then the blessed Mary would say from her throne: "Son, 'its a mother' goes to hell, seeking her own. "Body of mine and soul of mine, born of me— Thou who wert once little Jesus beside my knee— "It is so that mothers are made: Thou madest them so. Body of mine and soul of mine, do I not know?" —Katherine Tynan, in McClure's. KEEP A PULLIN'. Ef the tide is runnin' strong, keep a pullin'. Ef the wind is blowin' wrong, keep a pullin'.

Ef you can't fork up a thing, keep a pullin'. Though you can't see e'en a ray, Sun is bound to shine some day. Got to come 'fore long your way, keep a pullin'. When you're sick and tired, too, keep a pullin'. Never 'low you're feelin' blue, keep a pullin'.

Say, I like the old-fashioned people, Who are always what they are; People you can always count on, Same as any shining star. Never any doubt about them, They are plain but they are true; Bless the dear old-fashioned people, Pity 'tis, they are so few. Yes, I like old-fashioned people, With their simple kindly ways; And I would like to have them around me. All the balance of my days. In the Southland where in Summer, In the cotton and the maize. And in Wintertime the broad hearth, With its ever cheerful blaze. Not to make a brag of raising. But my mother is that kind; And the Lord need not forgive me If I ever seem to mind. That she is just plain old mother, With her dear old-fashioned ways, And the Lord can't bless me richer, Than by lengthening her days. OPPORTUNITY. Foolish is he who says that at his door I knock but once, a furtive moment stay; Fearing lest he shall hear, then haste away, Glad to escape him—to return no more. Not so! I knock and wait and o'er and o'er Come back to summon him. Day after day I come to call the idler from his play; Or wake the dreamer with my vain up- roar, Out of a thousand, haply, now and then. One, if he hears again and yet again, Will tardy rise, and open languled: The rest, half-puzzled, half-annoyed, return To play or sleep, nor seek nor wish to learn Who the untimely, clownish guest may be. —William H.

LINGERIE A FEATURE OF EVERY WARDROBE. The combination in one form or another is the favored undergarment, and the woman who has worn it finds it hard to go back to separate corset covers and drawers or underskirts, with their multiplicity of walshtands, always shrinking out of place in the laundering, and their troublesome fastenings. Many women, however, still favor them and refuse to give them up. Along with the combination skirts and corset covers, chemises have come into favor, but they are modified chemises, making concession to the law against obtrusive fullness of undergarments. They are not tight-fitting, but they are shaped somewhat to the curves of the body and do not fall from the top in full folds as they once did. The material is so soft and sheer that what little fullness there is to be disposed of about the waist is not noticeable under a frock. The combination corset covers and skirts or corset covers and drawers, if made with a waistband at all, are so cut that there is but little fullness to shirr into the waistband, and the princess models in which the waistband is eliminated entirely are popular. These, like the chemises, do not fit quite closely, but follow the curves of the figure easily; and in this day of large waists, short waists and loose frocks the slight fullness in soft material is not noticeable. The trimming with drawers, underskirts, slips and petticoats of the ultramodish sort dispenses with the frills and fuffiness once so dear to the feminine heart; the trimming is absolutely flat-lace inset flatly, hand embroidery; hand tucks, but no frills. If frills or floures there be, they must be shaped rather than shirred and joined to the body of the garment by inset lace or other flat trimming. Many bright-hued silk petticoats are shown, and for use with linen frocks are delightful little tub skirts of white dotted or striped in color and with embroidered edge of the color on the scant flounce. On white wash petticoats one finds flat trimming supereding the flounce, while closely fitted tops of soft silk or satin often have accordion plaited or deeply plaited floures of chiffon or silk mousselline. The vogue of the fischu and surplice neck line has brought out an unusual number of corset covers and combinations with V-shaped decolletage finish, and some of these are pretty, though not so generally becoming as the low, round or square finish. With the frock extremely sheer in yoke and sleeves, the upper part of the bodice being cut all in one of the chiffon, net or other semi-transparent material, a low-cut corset cover is in order, and one finds many provided, which end at the bust line and beneath the arms, being held up by narrow straps of lace, embroidery or ribbon passing over the shoulders. These have, of course, been used before for extreme decolletage, but now are called for by many afternoon frocks as well as evening frocks. Full-length princess slips are an absolute necessity. In the summer wardrobe in this season of unlined sheer one-piece frocks and one may buy them in anything from chiffon to cheap lawn. One of fine lawn is a practical thing if well cut and made and it may be made extremely dainty by flat trimming and careful finish. It launders well and is less likely to turn yellow than the wash silk slip which is the alternative for a tub slip, though for a colored slip the latter is usually preferred where a comparatively inexpensive slip is needed. For smart evening frocks requiring a slip and for many afternoon frocks as well, a princess slip of soft white satin is the most satisfactory thing and there are few summer outfits this season that do not hold one of these. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If after washing a chamois there seem to be harsh places, rub them steadily but gently through the hands and soon they will quite disappear. Discarded bedspreads make excellent bath towels. Cut them the size desired, hem all around, and you will find them as serviceable as a regular Turkish towel. Watery custard is caused by cooking in an oven that is too hot. Set the custard in a pan of hot water and see that the water does not boll during the baking. When you are cleaning your sewing machine and cannot reach parts of it with a cloth, try using a bicycle pump. The suction of the pump will drive away the dust and threads. Use the pump first, then wipe the more accessible parts with a dry cloth and end with a thorough oiling. In putting down linoleum or ailcloth have strips of molding nalled on the edges next to the baseboard. This prevents dust from getting under and preserves the edges. CREAM SALAD DRESSING. Two eggs, two tablespoons sugar, two tablespoons flour, one tablespoon salt, one teaspoon mustard, a little curry powder, one cup milk, three-fourths cup vinegar (fill cup with water), one tablespoon butter. Mix with ground, ham or chopped hard boiled eggs, makes nice picnic sandwiches; or pour over, potatoes and celery or onions for salad. FADS AND FANCIES. Despite the hot weather, autumn hats in felt have made their appearance. The early display shows little change in shape. The hats fit the head closely, the crowns being high and the brims narrow in front, widening a little at the sides and back. So far, white is the principal coloring, and the felt is like the old-fashioned beaver. The trimming for the felt hat is in tulle of the same tone, arranged in queer little frillings and pipings, and already there is an appropriate style of hairdressing adapted to the shape of the hat. The hair-is waved and parted in the center, with two bands of velvet ribbon across the front. It is then piled high on the head at the back, the knot fitting nicely into the crown. The Graze for Black Velvet. Of all the dresses made for wear at fashionable seaside resorts, or for country house visiting, the designs in white ninon or mousseuse with broderie Anglaseal decorations and touches of black velvet are the daintiest. The heavy velvet allied to the cobweb texture of the ninon, with its wide openwork embroidery, is the daintiest combination imaginable, and when the hat, too, is white, with waving black plumes and velvet streamers, the toilet is charming. One gown of this type has a deep flounce of broderie Anglaise running up to the knees to meet a tunic of Valenciennes and ninon arranged in one with a baby bodice made with long sleeves of Valenciennes to the wrists. Between the shoulders across the back there is a huge bow of Liberty satin with streamer ends falling down to the hem, the ends being bordered with black velvet. Folds of black velvet run around the waist, and the hat of black velvet in picture style has a wreath of white satin rose-buds. The black and white vogue is extended to all kinds of materials. Dresses in white charmeuse are slashed up the side with panels of black velvet; buttons and facings of black velvet finish coats and skirts of white cloth or linen; while white dresses for the evening are trimmed in one way or another with black satin, velvet or tulle. TESTED RECIPES BURNT LEATHER CAKE. Stir and cook one cup of brown sugar over a quick fire until it becomes rich dark brown caramel; add one-half cup cold water and let boil four or five minutes. Then set aside for use. Beat one-half cup of butter to a cream, gradually beat in one and one-half cups of sugar. Then the wel-beaten yolks of two eggs, one cup of lukewarm water, two cups of sifted flour. Beat five minutes, then add three tablespoonfuls of the sirup, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted with one-half cup of flour, and lastly whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Bake in layer cake pans in a quick oven. Filling.—One cup of sugar, add four tablespoonfuls of cold water, cook in a sirup that will spin a thread three inches long; pour in a fine stream on to the whites of two eggs beaten dry; add a tablespoon of the caramel sirup and a teaspoonful of vanilla; beat occasionally until cold. CHEESE STRAWS. Cheese straws are made by mixing half a cup of stale, not dry, bread crumbs with two tablespoons of flour. Make a well in the center, in which put the yolk of one egg and six tablespoons of soft grated cheese. Work the egg and the cheese together and sprinkle over them one-half teaspoon of salt, a dash of red pepper, and begin to work in gradually the crumbs. If too dry and hard add one tablespoon of ice water. Roll into a very thin sheet, cut into narrow strips about five inches long, place on paper, and bake in a moderate oven. DELICIOUS PIE. In warm weather, when buttermilk sours quickly, a further use can be had by letting the milk sour till it is quite thick, then drain through a thin cloth and let, sun dry till no more drips; remove from cloth; if too thick, add a little sweet milk; sugar, egg, little flour, salt; mix well; have a pie crust in pan, put custard in, and sprinkle little ground cinnamon on top and bake altogether. J.R. CHEESE SANDWICHES. For cheese sandwiches use soft grated cheese or thin slices of Schweitzer or Camembert, or grated Parmesan or sapsago. Cut either white of brown bread thin, butter it lightly, put in the cheese, cover with another slice, of bread, press together, and cut into fancy shapes. SHRIMP AND CUCUMBER. Break shrimp in pieces and marinate in French dressing. At serving time add an equal quantity of chilled cubes of cucumber, mix with mayonnaise dressing. Serve on lettuce. CONDITIONS IN HAITI NEGROES OF THIS COUNTRY HOPEFUL COLORED NEIGHBORS MAY SOON BE EXTRICATED FROM PRESENT FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. The recent revolution in Haiti has attracted general attention to that republic. Negro self-government is on trial in Haiti, in Liberia and San Domingo. A receiver general is in charge of the finances in San Domingo and another has just been appointed for the republic of Liberia. The negro people throughout the country generally are hopeful that both of these unfortunate republics may be extricated from their present financial burdens and put on the highway to national prosperity. The article which we reprint below is written by special correspondent of the New York Times. It seems to be a fair portrayal of conditions in Haiti and is not altogether discouraging. The reference to "a man of large caller" who represents the United States as minister to Haiti is Hon. Henry W. Furniss of Indianapolis, who for about seven years has represented this country at the capital of Haiti after a period of training as consul to Bahai, Brazil. The article: Special Correspondence the New York Times. Port-au-Prince.—The victorious army that placed Cincinnatus Leconte in the palace is still lounging about in this city. No soldier drawing 22 cents a month was ever such a respecter of property rights as this ragged, halfed Haitian volunteer. In the north, where the revolution started, I saw the ruins of an engineering headquarters that had been occupied by Americans, but the house was the property of a particularly obnoxious politician. The army had delibrated and systematically wrecked property that he owned, and left adjacent property untouched. The American Railway company will claim large indemnity for various kinds of loss, but I have seen and heard nothing to justify any considerable reparation. The ruling class of Haiti is gathered here at the capital, awitting the distribution of Jobs. Our boat brought a shipload of them from the north, and every succeeding boat has added its contingent from other parts, including exiles from neighboring islands. The spectacle recalls pay day at Tammany Hall. This battalion of politicians is hopeful and expectant--apparently well pleased with the outcome. There is no organized ring of opposition, and there can be none under this autocratic system of government. Whatever may be said of this ruling class, it is evident that it does not lack intelligence. A finer-looking body of men could not be found in any negro colony in the world—for the reason that most of them have a large mixture of French blood. Of those we brought from the north about one in four was really black. Here in the hotel frequented by the leading officials the proportion is smaller. They are a group of well-educated, well-dressed, quiet-mannered men, and many of them are distinguished looking. The common people do not count for anything here. These office-holding and office-seeking men are the government of Haiti. President Leconte is well spoken of everywhere. He looks and talks like a man of intelligence and education, whereas the late President Antone Simon was neither. Leconte has been in the political game most of his life and knows it in all its details. If left to himself he would probably play it in the reckless fashion of his predecessors, but he will not be left to himself. The Germans, the French and the Americans are now so deeply involved in Haiti that the executive must think before doing anything to arouse their antagonism. Leconte is understod to be the choice of the Germans, while Firmin would have been more acceptable to the French. The Americans seem to be quite satisfied with Leconte, for he also is a builder of railroads—and that is the work of the men who have intrenched themselves here under the Stars and Stripes. Firmin is alleged to be opposed to foreigners—which makes one suspect that he may be a real patriot. The most important member of the new cabinet, the minister of finance, is said to have resigned the same portfolio twice under previous administrations rather than be a party to certain frauds. The minister of foreign affairs, Mr. Leger, is the diplomat who represented Haiti in Washington for many years. The president can do almost anything that he likes, regardless of his ministry and of the senators and deputies. This is only an alleged republic. It has none of the essential features that a republic must have, and democratic government does not exist. Indeed, it cannot exist without a complete overturning that no leader in Haiti can possibly achieve—even if he so desired. President Leconte has been elected for seven years, but it is doubtful if even he expects to be in the palace in 1819. Certainly the foreigners who are best qualified to judge cannot hope for a peaceful and prosperous regime, though this is a land of marvelous fertility. The railroad, which is rapidly being built, will be the most important factor in Haiti's future. The City National bank of New York is the financial headquarters, though most of the capital is said to have come from France. This road has 1,000 laborers working at Cape Haitien) the northern terminus, and almost as many at Gonaives, on the western coast. Work on the Port-au-Prince end will begin within a few days, and all these sol- diers will have a chance to earn as much money in a day as the government pays them for an entire month of military service. Haiti wants no foreign inventions. If any white man takes charge of the customs, a battleship will place him there. The situation here is not that which existed in San Domingo, and the Haitian problem cannot be solved in such a simple manner. The United States confronts a difficult proposition in its enforced relations to the Haitian republic. The one comforting feature is the fact that the colored man who represents us here is a man of large caliber and knows almost every square mile of the whole country. Minister Furnill appreciates the crisis—a crisis made more acute by the fact that millions of American dollars are now involved, and other nations are jealous of our invasion. The new president must placate the rival factions and reward his fighting followers; he must protect this American railroad and must please the Germans and the French at the same time. It is a troubled sea through which he must navigate a waterlogged vessel, and the result is problematic. GERMAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS HOW THE EMPIRE TRAINS ITS PEOPLE FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE A school in which pupils are prepared for a career in industrial and decorative art is one of the features of the German state educational system. The pupil entering this school is supposed to make a life work of what he or she is taught, for women are given equal facilities with men. The course for a diploma is four years and the tuition only $10 a year for natives, and $50 for foreigners. Practical training is given in drawing, painting in water colors and oils, designing or decorations, friezes, wallpaper, curtains, carpets, linoleum, clay modelling, wood carving, etc. The practical work is supplemented by daily lectures on the theory of each trade and the instruction is very thorough. In Wermelsclrchen, a short distance from Cologne, the government has a school for teaching shoe making. Although it is supposed that the art of making shoes is most highly developed in the United States; and that all other nations copy its methods and forms, it is a fact that students from Lynn, Mass., and other cities near the center of the shoemaking industry come to this school to be taught. The difference between an American workman and a German who has attended this school is that while the American is an expert in doing one thing, the German has been taught how to buy leather, how to cut to the best advantage, and has been given a thorough course in the making of shoes from start to finish. He can operate any machine and perform any manipulation required. The course, like all others, takes from three to four years. This school is expected to graduate men able to take charge of any shoe factory. A boy who is to follow a business career is not given a haphazard course of instruction. He goes to a specific commercial school from the first day until he graduates from the commercial high school. The most celebrated and best equipped school of this kind in Germany is in Cologne. The last semester the attendance numbered 1,221 students from all parts of Germany, and there were also 82 foreigners. The faculty includes about 50 professors and tutors. The list of studies embraces political economy, public law, geography, French language and literature, science of insurance, mechanics and electrotechnics, trade technics, English language and literature, English commercial correspondence, common law, pedagogy, botany and microscopy, history, mathematics, railway tariffs, banking and board of trade, library, handling of merchandise, textile industry, mall and telegraph, trade laws, newspaper trade, protection of workmen and charitable institutions, tariffs, insurance and mutual protection societies, measures, weights and minting, esthetics, history of business, English, French and German stenography, chemistry (with one of the finest laboratories in Germany), voice building and oratory, philosophy, anatomy and physiology, hygiene, German literature, archaeology, mining, history and architecture, meteorology, history of arts, taxation, ophthalmia, city building, surgery, music (theory), Egyptology, zoology and diseases of the skin. The following languages are also taught: Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, new Arabic, Turkish, new Persian, German to foreigners, Dutch, Russian, Italian and Spanish. Lectures are given on many subjects not enumerated and may be attended by any one upon payment of $2.33 for the semester, or 25 cents a single lecture. The tuition is less than $100 a year. It is supposed that all pupils have graduated from the commercial "real schools" (Raelschulen) before entering here. The state also attends to the examination of all candidates for master or foreman in all the trades. No man can give himself out as a master workman without showing his diploma or 'certificate as authority for the claim. There is more efficiency and real knowledge to be found among men possessing these certificates than among the average run of workmen who have not taken the examination. When a girl grows up she counts the days to her twenty-first year, and then she wishes she could subtract as the days go by. THE FOX AND THE CROW. Some time ago a crow who found A piece of cheese upon the ground Perched high upon a neighboring beech And held the prize well out of reach. A sly old forx who watched her flight Remarked: "That whets my appalte." He winked his eye and scratched his head. And then to Mistress Crow he said: "My dear, you are a handsome bird, Your voice is very sweet, I've heard. Your lovely song, so rich and clear, Is just the thing I long to hear. I'm sure it must be passing fair And one with which none can compare. So let me hear you sing, I pray, For I am feeling blue today." The crow when Reynard thus did speak Began to "Caw," which oped her beak. The cheese at once dropped down below, This fox to seize it was not slow. He laughed at Mistress Crow's distress, And thus he did the bird address: "Give ear to fathery if you must, But always listen with distrust." THE GAME OF QUOITS. A good game to play on the lawn at this season of the year is quolts. A quolt is a flatish ring of iron, generally from eight and one-fourth to nine and one-half inches in external diameter and between one and two inches in breadth. It is convex on the upper side and slightly concave on the under, so that the outer edge curves down and is sharp enough to stick into the ground. The mode of playing is as follows: Two pins, called "hobs," are driven into the ground from eleventy to twenty-four inches apart, and the players, who are divided into two parties, stand at one "hob" and in regular succession throw their quolts (of which each player has two) as near to the other "hob" as they can. The points are counted as in bowls or in curling. To facilitate the sticking of the quolts at the point where they strike the ground a "clay end"—that is, a flat circle of clay about one or two inches in thickness and one and one-half feet in radius—is placed around each "hob." This requires to be kept moist and should have sawdust sprinkled over it. The quolt when it is thrown is grasped with the right hand by one side and pitched with an upward and forward jerk of the hand and arm, which gives it a whirling motion and causes it to strike the ground with its edge.—Philladelphia Ledger. COMPLETING THE ORDER. A dear little old lady who has no idea at all that she is old made a discovery the other day. She overheard her grand nephew telling another young man about the excellence of the "free lunch" served at a certain big New York hotel. In the innocence of her perfectly dear old soul she put the information down in her memory for future reference. Soon after that she happened to be attending a concert at this same hotel, and the party—herself, her nephew and niece—went to the tea room later for a bit of refreshment. The tea was ordered, and then the dear little old lady looked at the waiter and with a sweet, old-fashioned smile and a suggestion of triumph in her manner, said: * "And you may bring us also some free lunch."—New York Press. MONKEY BELL RINGERS. The monkey cage broke in the Pittsburg zoo, and eight monkeys escaped. They had a riotous vacation, but it did not last long. They hopped away from their cage and took the overland route, so that nobody might catch them. All night they remained quiet and peaceful somewhere or other, and no one could imagine what had become of them. In the morning the mystery was clear. Everybody knew where they were. They were in the beltry of the church near the zoo. There are bells in the steeple, and the monkeys were ringing them, swinging from one rope to another and making believe that they were in their old original forest. They kept up the ringing of the bells until the fire department men came with ladders and climbed up to get them. DOGS LIKE FLOWERS. A Seattle family have a yellow dog with a singular love for flowers, which frequently gets him into trouble. The dog, after making sure that the coast is clear, will go into the garden and pluck a number of flowers and, placing them in a heap, will lie down and go to sleep with his nose in the bunch. His favorite flower is the rose, and he invariably bites the stem four or five inches below, so as not to injure the flower. All his actions indicate that he enjoys the perfume of the flowers, and it rarely happens that he is not seen with some choice flower in his mouth. The only trouble is that he culls from every garden that he sees and, in consequence, has narrowly escaped being shot for his aesthetic taste.—Grit. OBEYING. When you are inclined not to mind mother or teacher turn to your beloved "Jungle Book" and read: Now, there are the laws of the jungle. And many and mighty are they. But the head and the hoof of the law. And the haunch and the hump is obey. Obedience is the first law of nature and extends to all living things. Some children think they must obey their parents just because the parents say so, but that is not the reason. They must obey when they are young so that they may learn self control and help to build character for themselves. The Hampton Negro Conference. The bulletin of the 1911 Hampton negro conference has just been issued. It gives in a very interesting way the proceedings of the fifteenth annual conference, which was held at Hampton institute on the 19th and 20th of July. The Hampton conference brings together once a year a large number of teachers, ministers and other persons interested in negro uplift. In a word, it is a meeting of leaders. In the recent conference the three main topics considered were "Woman's Work," "Church and Rural Life" and "Co-Operation in Virginia." These main topics were aly discussed from many points of view. Under the "Church and Rural Life" the subjects were "Place of the Church in Rural Life," "Negro Preacher Demonstrators," "Church and School in Rural Life," "Rural Church and School Problem" and "Negro Education and Religion." The subjects relating to "Woman's Work" were "Virginia's Federation of Colored Women," "Negro Christian Association Work," "The Negro Woman's Religious Activity and "The Irresponsible Girl." "Co-Operation in Virginia" was discussed under the following heads: "The Negro Organization Society," "Negro Health and Education," "Negro Progress and Self-Help" and "School Co-Operation." The Negro Organization society is very unique and interesting. It is made up of representatives from lodges, churches, benevolent societies, etc. In fact, an effort is being made to bring into harmonious co-operation every form of negro organization for the purpose of improving educational conditions. From the report it appears that one of the most interesting and helpful discussions at the conference was by A.W. Nicholson, principal of Bettis academy, Trenton, S. C. He said: "I went out in the dark country sections of South Carolina, not called so because of the great population of colored people, but because of the lack of interest in educational matters. "In all Edgefield county the school term is being extended. This year there were about 4,000 colored children in the Edgefield county schools and we have been given about $4,000. In the white schools there have been 955 children and the white people have received $17,700. While we got just about one dollar for each child, the white people received between $15 and $19 for each child. "I went into the community among poor white folks. They said: 'You have, got to get out.' One hostile neighbor was won by service. His wife got sick. We went and offered our services; asked if we could not help. My wife made things so comfortable about the home that when the sick woman got better my neighbor said: 'You had better take my wife and carry her over to your house.' I took her over there. He then sent his cow. We became good friends and I never had a better neighbor. "Finally, instead of driving me out, the white people sold out. Today the colored people own about 15,000 acres of land adjoining Bettis academy. Now, if that can be done in South Carolina, it can be done in Virginia, and North Carolina." Prominent white persons taking part in the discussion were Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the negro rural school fund; Mr. James Buchanan, secretary of the Associated Charities, Richmond, Va., and Mr. Jackson Davis, state supervisor of Virginia colored schools. The report of the fifteenth annual Hampton negro conference should be read by everyone who is interested in the uplift of the negro; for it is a real contribution to the literature of this subject—Monroe N. Work. NO INTERRUPTIONS In a small South Carolina town that was finished "before" the war, two men were playing checkers in the back of a store. A traveling man who was making his first trip to the town was watching the game, and, not being acquainted with the business methods of the citizens, he called the attention of the citizens, he called to some customers who had just entered the front door. "Sh! Sh!" answered the storekeeper, making another move on the checker board. "Keep perfectly quiet and, they'll go out."—Everybody's Magazine. PRETTY THINGS IN JEWELRY. Jewelled watches are a toy of the moment. The best of these, thin as a leaf, are enameled, often in pale pink or pale green, with either one big diamond in the center or else surrounded by small diamonds. The smart watch of today has a chain attached and is worn on the neck as a pendant. The face of the watch is, of course, at the back of the ornament. And some of these dainty toys are first-rate timekeepers. A gold bag is another useful possession. Many of the new bags are in gold in different shades of color, while others are in gold and platinum to give the effect of a striped material. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN. A garden flower basket of English willow has three compartments, and has spools of wire, tape, scissors, nippers, shears, memorandum book and a trowel slipped through straps on the outside. It sells for $10.50. The "Right Height" wardrobe trunks are made in measurements to comply with the new baggage law, and they are very well arranged. They sell for $50.

These we cannot afford to publish though there are some among them that would make very pleasing and interesting reading matter. We cannot take the responsibility of publishing these articles when we have, in most cases, not the slightest idea who are their authors. If those who send articles to us in the future for publication will kindly sign their proper names to them then they will receive full recognition by us. We see by one of the New York papers that the white chauffeurs there are making a kick against Negro chauffeurs and are refusing to house their machines in garages that give accommodations to cars driven by Negroes. They give as their reasons for this outbreak against Negro chauffeurs that the latter are willing to do the same amount of work they do for less pay and besides will make themselves general utility men around the houses of their employers without any additional pay. This protest on the part of the white chauffeurs is causing no little difficulty to both the owners of cars that are driven by Negroes and to the managers of garages where these cars are stored. Friction between white and Negro chauffeurs has often occurred in these garages because of many mean tricks which have been practiced on the cars of the latter and often this has led to bloodshed. We do not doubt but that in certain isolated cases there have been Negro chauffeurs who have worked for less than they should and have, at the same time thrown in free of charge a little extra work as butler and etc., for both of which they should be censured and yet on account of the wave of race prejudice which is going the rounds of the country we are inclined to believe that this outbreak is more the result of race hatred than of anything else. On last Sunday night in one of our churches there was a very unique and interesting service held. It was a most delightful program and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large crowd present. Every attendant feature of the exercise showed careful training, and there was scarcely any particular portion of it which might be spoken in any higher terms than the other, and yet we cannot but especially commend the young men and boys who appeared on the program, not because they acquitted themselves any more creditably than the young women and girls but because it is seldom that they can be persuaded to take such prominent parts in religious exercises. There seems to be a prevailing idea among most young men and boys that it is not their duty to take prominent parts on programs of this nature but to allow the young women and girls to carry off all the honors while they devote their time and attentions to other things. But we were pleased to note the other night that tifis apparent indifference in religious exercises on the part of young men and boys was wanting and we congratulate the large number of them that took part on the program and we should be delighted to have others follow their example. Religious exercises of this sort are not only to be participated in by young women and girls but they should be of equal interest to young men and boys and it is well worth our time that we endeavor to interest the latter in them as well as the former. The new automobile hacking regulations which were passed by the city council Wednesday night should meet with the hearty approval of all pedestrians, for by means of these new regulations much of the danger which has been confronting the walking public will be eliminated. We refer especially to the automobile traffic regulations concerning those cars which are used for hacking purposes because it is from them that most of the accidents arise. This particular portion of the new ordinance requires that automobiles known as rent machines, or for public conveying of passengers, shall have displayed on each side of the hood of the machine a number at least six inches high to be issued to the owner of the machine by the police department. It is also required that the driver of the machine shall wear a bridge to be issued by the police department. Time upon time has it occurred that in case of accident or collision, especially when automobiles used for hacking purposes were concerned in the mix up that they have hurriedly gotten away from the scene of trouble before even their numbers could be ascertained, and there would be no possible means of locating them. With large numbers placed upon the hoods of these machines, coupled with the small numbers which they are required to carry in the rear, it will be very difficult for an automobile driver to escape without some one seeing the number of his car. Often in the past these automobiles have been doing business on the streets with their numbers on the rear, so blurred or so small that it was hard to discern them when right upon them and once in a while a car has ventured upon the public highway doing business in the hacking line without any number at all. The drivers of these cars have often taken a seeming delight when passing pedestrians on the streets to steer nearer to them than was safe and often injured them in so doing and those injured have usually had no way of finding out the name of the careless chauffeur or learning the number of the car. With the number of the car in large figures on both sides of the hood a great deal of the recklessness of these drivers will be eliminated for they will know that their chances for escaping detection when they are in the wrong will be very slim and they will therefore not take the close squeeze out of tight places that they have risked in the past. And the requiring of badges worn by the drivers which are to be issued from the police headquarters will have its good results also, for the irresponsible, careless young boys into whose hands the care of some of the hacking cars are now entrusted will probably be replaced by men who will exercise some judgment in the handling of their cars. Indeed these new traffic regulations are worthy of our highest commendations and we believe that with a strict enforcement of them coupled with the rigid watchfulness which is now being placed upon all violators of the speed laws, the proportion of accidents occurring in the future will be far less than that of the past. Not very long ago there passed by our office, in the midst of a blinding rain which had been falling all day, a large Negro funeral. The deceased man whose body was being taken to its last resting place had been a member of some three or four orders, to all of which he was a faithful and enthusiastic member and was highly esteemed by his fellow brothers. On the day of the funeral the lodges to which he belonged turned out in full to accompany his remains to the cemetery. It was a most miserably bad day and before the procession had gotten a block on its way to the grave yard, every man who was in line had been drenched to the skin. There were old men and young men in line and there were men in line whose physical appearance seemed almost perfect, while others there were who appeared nearer unto the shores to which their deceased brother had gone, than to life. But they were all in line trudging on as best they could in spite of the inclement weather: their faces were all drawn and they showed as they passed on that the duty which they were performing was difficult and trying. The most hardy ones of them were moving quietly on with but little discomfort, while the weak and less robust ones were coughing, sneezing and giving other signs of suffering under the pressure of the awful exposure to which they were subjecting themselves. And as the procession passed on and we saw the danger to which these men were exposing themselves we could not but conclude that the laws and regulations in some of our organizations which require us to take such desperate chances with our health as to walk in solemn procession in a blinding rain to pay the last tribute of respect to the dead are fool-hardy and unjust. It is hard for us to see the necessity for secret or beneficiary organizations parading the streets at the funeral of a deceased member even upon a beautiful sunshine day and most em- phatically do we think it beyond reason or good. common sense for men to take chances with their lives by turning out or parade in a blinding rain, thus endangering their own lives The laws in these organizations which require a man to turn out under such adverse circumstances as these need to be repealed and if it is seen fit to force men to gather in paying respects to the memory of a deceased brother upon a day when the weather conditions are so unfavorable as to make it unsafe to their health for them to parade, then let it be understood that they gather at the church or house from which the funeral takes place and there administer their last rites. It is perfectly legitimate for us to respect the dead in any way we see fit so long as we can consistently do so under the laws which regulate good health, but when these laws are broken even in such a solemn service as paying our last tribute of respect to a deceased friend or brother then the same ill results attend our indiscretions as if we were doing anything else which is contrary to the laws of nature. When the laws of our organizations force us to take desperate chances upon our lives by turning out and parading the streets in the face of all kinds of weather then they defeat the very purpose for which they are supposed to be framed and the sooner we get to the point that our beneficent organizations look first and foremost to the welfare of the living members, the nearer will they be approaching a stage of perfection.

There was quite a large crowd of children at the morning service and they acted well their parts. They were ably entertained by very interesting lectures by Rev. Joseph Gray of London England and Rev. Wright. At night the church was crowded. The honored guest was the Ladies Auxiliary Branch No. 1. Rev. Wright cordially welcomed the members of the Branch. He read for the lesson Gen 19:26. The subject was "Remember Lot's Wife." It was a plain and beautifully illustrated sermon. The choir sang "Far Away." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Lord I approve thy mercy seat." He earnestly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy-seat. A large crowd bowed and he offered a very fervent prayer in their behalf. The society contributed liberally to the pastor, choir, church, sexton, and poor saints. Visitors are always welcome at our church. St. Phillip Dots. On account of the inclement weather on Sunday the attendance at the 11 a.m. service was small. Rev. Singleton preached an able and interesting sermon from Luke 2:7. It was indeed a very interesting discourse from beginning to end. Our members are still paying on the rally. Remember that you have until Nov. 15 to pay up in this rally. We urge every member to pay, for the building committee needs every dollar to meet their obligations on the new church. In five more weeks the annual conference will be in session. Every member must pay their dollar money. On account of delay in receiving material coupled with bad weather, the work has been somewhat delayed. Our monthly, love, feast, was held on Friday,night.

The parlors were artistically arranged. The tables were neatly decorated and placed in rotation, laden with an abundance of choice refreshments intermingled with comports of delicious fruits and with the bright rays of light beaming down upon the guests, who were also befittingly decorated by the hostess with bouquets made of small American flags and three leaves of Shamrock blended admirably with the table decorations and made a color scheme that will be long remembered. There were three (3) prizes to be awarded to the best players and as the contestants were kept in ignorance as regards the contents of the packages containing the prizes placed before them, the games were enthusiastically fought from start to finish; a shaving set with a hand mirror was the first prize in the four handed game of three thousand points of pinchole with Messrs F. R. Cuyler, and J. Clayton Williams, as principals, the latter wining by the fclose margin of ten points.

PHONE 3570 811 WEST BROAD ST. West Broad and Gwinnett Lane Chas. A.R. McDowell If any man love not the Lord Jesus Chryst, let him be Anathema Maranatha—I Corminthians. 16:22 St. Paul possessed unbounded admiration and profound reverence, as well as sincere love for our blessed Savior. His enthusiastic utterances and strong conceptions of Christ's power and wisdom, grace and glory, prompted him to declare that he wished to know nothing else but Jesus Christ. These sentiments were founded on the high ideas he had attained of Christ as the "Son whom God hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world; who, being the brightness of his glory and the figure of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, steth on the right hand of the Majesty on High—being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they." He realized that through him "we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God." The Redeemer did and does deliver from the oppression and slavery of sin and iniquity "for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath delivered me from the law of sin and death." And he was profoundly conscious of how "he humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, over the death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names; that in the name of Jesus every knee shouldow of those that are in heaven, on earth and under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father." In all his career, in his labors and fastings, in his work and preaching, in his sorrows and joys, he was sustained by this one thought: "I have, therefore, glory in Christ Jesus toward God." The love which the apostle had for Christ is the love of appreciation, arising from the knowledge of the Savior's divine nature, the conviction of the saving power of his name, the sense of his gentle and lovable character, and the certainty of the hope which could be reposed in him for truth, grace and peace. The love of Christ must be the all-absorbing passion of our lives, as it was of St. Paul's; must be the prevailing sentiment of our souls. Our appreciation of him must surpass the esteem and reverence we hold for any other and all other things. We must recognize him as worthy of all the high and sublime eulogies which the apostle wrote of his nature, life and work. It is not difficult to see that the founder of the Christian religion has attained the first place in the hearts of myriads and the first place in the minds of many myriads more. He easily towers above all who have ever won the confidence of men, or who have achieved greatness on this earth. His character, his life, his works, the influence POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

There are symptoms of a panic in the theater, says Judge. Arbig men in the front row arlses. "Sit down!" he roars. "There is no danger! Sit down!" The stampeding audience stops, turns and faces him. "Sit down!" he orcers. The people obediently sat down. "I will go to the entrance and show you that there is no danger whatever," the big man says. He strolls along the alse, reaches the exit and rushes out. "That is what I call presence of mind," he tells himself. "I never could have got out of there if I hadn't stopped that panic."

He has had no equal. The hold he has acquired over men's dearest affections and the inspiration he has furnished for the greatest sacrifices that they might be governed by the hopes he instilled are ever a source of wonder and admiration. Especially his unexamined sympathy for mankind, the sweetest principles that come from him for the betterment and elevation of the poorest and lowest endear him to all. Napoleon the Great in his lonely retreat at St. Helena, oft meditated on and reviewed the prominent characters of history, and as he paused to contemplate the perfect character and person of our Savior is said to have exclaimed: "Here, at last, is the one who made himself beloved by mankind!" These golden words express the conclusions of every serious writer and thinker of every age, and after all the discussions and doubts, study and reasoning, questioning and objecting, he remains "The Light of the World," and in the most perfect sense all men regard the Word made flesh as "the ideal man, the consummation and the crown of humanity, the manifestation of God." Deep strike thy roots, O Heavenly vine, Within our earthly sod, Most human, yet most divine, The flower of man and God. St. Paul anathematizes with the severest kind of condemnation those who do not entertain such a conception of Christ; because he knew that no other name is given to men whereby they may be saved, and because not otherwise can we live up to the best that can be presented to us or develop the best that can be found in us. It needs all that faith in Christ can work in us, and all that earnest love for him can prompt in us, to give us the self-control, self-knowledge and self-reverence which will enable us to reach high power of thought and action. No life is truly noble in all points which is not dominated by the spirit of Christ, and no man whose conduct is not leavened and whose surroundings are not affected by his teachings and counsels can ever find strength and perfection comparable to the Christian, or erect enduring peace on the ruins of every selfish interest. The rule of our bearing toward God and our fellow-man will spring from and rest on the attitude preserve toward Christ. The observance of his commandments means much to life that would be holy and to a heart that would be pure, and we will keep his commandments if we love him. Let everyone strive to deepen and perfect his sincere and solid appreciation of the living form of the Savior which has come to us from the centuries, winning the homage of men the world over in every age, and draw near him and offer the best and fullest affection of their souls. We shall not fail to experience supreme delight in the attainment of the most heavenly sentiments begotten of the consciousness of union with God. For "if any man love me, my Father will love him and we will come unto him and take him and take up our abode in him." HOPELESS EITHER WAY. "Congratulate me!" erled the musical genius who had been sent to study in Europe. "Ja, I knew you'd be successvull Carl," answered his proud dad, tearfully, "but tell us for vy." "I have succeeded beyond our highest expectations. You will never guess. I have been appointed music teacher to the crown prince." The old father burst into tears. "Leb' whol, Karlchen!" he sobbed "It is honor, but ve shall neffer see you again. Id iss der endt!" "But why, father? It is the beginning. I shall gain honor and you shall share—" "No-ach, nein! You are lost, my son. Lisden, if you show dot you know less about music than der prince you are no goot, and you lose your chob, nicht war?" "Ja, natuerlich, aber——" "And if you show dot you know more as he do, you get put in chall for lese majeste!" AN UNFINISHED JOB. A patient entered a dentist's office the other day and, after showing a swollen cheek for admittance to the chair, was told that the tooth was "very bad" and that the nerve would need to be removed. The operation finished, the stranger placed his hat firmly on his head, leisurely drew on his gloves and requested that the account be charged. After he was gone the dentist turned to a friend who had been in the room and said: "Tom, I don't know that man. I am sorry the operation wasn't successful." "But it was successful," returned the other, astonished. "The man was feeling fine when he left here. Why wasn't it a success?" "I didn't extract all the nerve," responded the dentist.—Philadelphia Times. FRENCH TOMATO SALAD.

NORTH CAROLINA EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE MEETS AT FAYETTEVILLE FORTHCOMING COLORED MINISTERS; CONFERENCE INDORSED BY THE BAPTISTS. Fayetteville, N. C.—The forty-fourth annual session of the Baptist Educational and Missionary convention of North Carolina, held in this city, was unprecedented in the annals of the convention, when the attendance and the effective scope of the deliberations of the body are considered. Each session of the convention was pregnant with helpful features for the furtherance of educational and missionary activities. The Layman movement in North Carolina was greatly accentuated by the wholesome papers by Col. James H. Young of Raleigh and Dr. A. M. Moore, treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, the greatest negro organization of its kind in the world. The reports of the officers, especially that of Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary of this convention, president of a successful institution at Winton, N. C., president of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission society convention and foremost in a number of movements for the uplift of the race, make excellent literature. "How to Raise Mission Money," by Dr. C. S. Morris, Norfolk, Va., who recently held a revival having over 3,000 converts and making the traffic in liquor among negroes in Norfolk decrease to such an extent that questionable resorts thriving upon negro patrons suffered and a number were bankrupted, and another paper captioned "Our Missionaries—Their Fields and Their Needs," by Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, Md., were pertinent features of the session. The forthcoming colored ministers' conference under the auspices of the National Religious Training School, Durham, to convene for one week beginning July 6, 1912, all ministers being entertained without cost in the "Bull City," was indorsed by the delegates. To make the ministry effective and become a potent factor in solving the problems of the Afro-American folk made the National Religious Training School the cynosure of the delegates of the convention. The auspicious opening of the school October 4, with nearly every room in the large dormitories taken and students from Africa and India preparing for missionary work, when made known to hundreds of the delegates caused a hearty approbation of this great educational movement. FORTUNE COMING VETERAN EDITOR TO LOCATE IN WASHINGTON. Washington.—T. Thomas Fortune, the veteran editor, who made the New York Age famous, may located in Washington permanently. He is expected here in a few days and plans to spend the winter, putting on the finishing touches to some special literary work upon which he has been engaged for a long time. He is considering an offer of men of means who believe that Washington is the place for the establishment of a great national negro weekly. They wish to make Mr. Fortune the editor and build around him the finest staff of writers and business hustlers this section of the country has ever seen, not even excepting the palmy days of Edward Elder Cooper. Mr. Fortune has a host of friends in this city, and already a number of social fultifications are being arranged for him.—National Union. KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. Michael Clancy, who lived in Goldfield, Nev., had returned to that mining city after a stay in Sacramento. He was telling his friend Finley about the place and was expatating particularly on the glories of a new hotel building where he had alced construction by carrying the hod. "Tis that blg."orated Clancy, "they have a place on the roof where they play gollf." "Man, you're crazy?" broke in Finley. "How could they do that? 'Tis some other game you're thinkin' av." "Well, 'tis this game they play with a fish net." "That's tinnis," explained Finley. "Beloike you're right, condescended Clancy. 'I nver played it." "Sure I'm right," declared Finley, with a fine air of superior wisdom. "I know'd it couldn't be goll', for how the blazes would they get their horses up there?"—Saturday Evening Post. THE TURNING OF THE WORM. "I guess it's true that the worm turned," growled the farmer boy to himself as he wearily twisted the handle of the grindstone round and round. "I've read it in the Third Reader at school, an' I've heard it said time an' again. I don't know whether he turned over in bed, or turned some different color, or turned out badly, or how the dingnation he turned, but what I'm here to say is that if the worm turned the grindstone when he didn't have to he was a dum fool! There!"—Success Magazine. THE LAZIEST MAN. "Went to bed at eight o'clock last night." "Why so early?" "My shoe came untied and. I thought I'd save the trouble of tying it again."—Louisville Courier Journal VERNON IN ARKANSAS FORMER REGISTRAR OF THE UNITED STATES TREASURY SPOKE TO LARGE AUDIENCE AT LITTLE ROCK. Little Rock, Ark.—William Tecumseh Vernon, former registrar of the United States treasury and now supervisor of education-in the department of the interior, en route to Oklahoma from a visit of inspection of the work of such schools as Tuskegee and Hampton institute, with a view of comparing the work of these institutions with that of the Indian schools malnaited by the government, spoke to a large audience at the First A.Baptist church in Little Rock, Ark. The Little Rock Gazette, in noticing the address, says in part: Vernon, who has long been an educator, having until recently been president of Western university, Quindaro, Kan., is one of the most prominent orators of the negro race, and for a long time entertained his hearts with a recital of the progress of the negro in the south, counseling them in the meantime to take advantage of every opportunity the south afforded them. The work of such institutions as Tuskegee and Hampton was praised by the speaker, who declared that in a large degree they trained the negro boy for active participation in the life of the people here in the south. "The time has come when the negro no longer feels that he must go north to serve his people," he said. "The opportunity is right here in the south. The interest of the black man and the white man is so interwoven that they are common and they must be worked out on a common basis. The negro has proven his right to stay here by his bravery on a hundred battlefields, by the fact that he has betrayed no trusts in the days gone by and is no worse now than he was then. We must have confidence in our leaders on the one hand, and on the other we must have a leadership that will not betray us. "The negro race will get all that comes to it by being worthy; as a result of education, competency, manhood and real worth. There is that in manhood that appeals to manhood, whether in white or black. The boys who loaf on the streets by day and their parents' home by night their lodging places, growing into idleness and criminality, must be stopped. The girls who look lightly upon values of life and morality must be taught that the only thing of worth is character and virtue, whether clad in rags or in silks." TALKS ON TUBERCULOSIS. New York—Drs.' E. P. Roberts and Johnson delivered two extremely interesting lectures at St Mark's lyceum last week. Doctor Roberts said the main trouble with colored people is that they don't think enough. He advocated saving money, saying that the colored people can't have good health without saving money. The doctor says as a rule that the colored people eat too much pork. Doctor Johnson says that the negro young men are dying rapidly with tuberculosis brought on by irregularity in living. The doctor says negroes have as good lungs as anyone else but their way of living to a great extent destroys their longevity. Both physicians were puzzled to know why so many negroes dislike milk. They advised parents to teach children to drink milk, which in time of fever, etc., become an impartial part of diet. Condensed milk is good as a food for children. FOOLISH DELAY. A company of colored actors was playing "Othello" in Alabama. Everything had gone along nicely until they came to the scene where Desdemona's fidelity is to be tested. Iago has secured her handkerchief by cajolery, with the connivance of Othello himself, that her incontinence may be established. Othello—Desdemona, where am dat handkerchief? (Desdemona remalns silent.) Othello—Desdemona, once more I ask yo' where am dat hankerchief? At this juncture an old negro woman in the front of the house rose furiously from her seat. "Go way, yo' fool niggh!" she exclaimed loudly. "Wipe youah nose on youah sleeve and let this play go on!" LINCOLN'S LEGS AND WHISKY A well-known evangelist one day called on Abraham Lincoln. After a hard day the president was lying stretched out on a couch. In the course of the conversation the evangelist said: "Mr. Lincoln, it has always seemed a remarkable thing to me that, considering the circumstances and conditions under which you were brought up, you never acquired the drinking habit." The president smiled and then, lifting up one of his long legs and slowly waving it from side to side, said: "Heavens, just think of those things tangled up with whisky!" WHERE THE POET ERRED. Uppardson—You know what the poet says about a woman; "If she will do 't she will, and there's an end on 't." Atom—Yes; but that isn't the end on 't; she keeps on talking.—Chicago Tribune. RACE PREJUDICE IN ENGLAND BARS THE JOHNSON-WELLS FIGHT The decision of the English authorities, that the scheduled prize fight between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells cannot be pulled off in London, is significant of a radical change of British public opinion on the race question within the last half century. This change of British sentiment has been coincident with the rapid growth of English colonial interests in West and South Africa, where a policy of suppressing and oppressing the natives, or "keeping them in their places," is considered as necessary to safeguard the interests of the white Englishman. A like policy has been enforced towards the natives of India by the British government since the country was conquered by Warren Hastings and Lord Clive. But the purposes of the English are widely different in the two countries. No effort has been made by the English to colonize India, climatic and other considerations having deterred them from doing so; but they have ruled the country with a malled hand, exacting of it every penny that could be wring from it by commercial greed and taxation. To do this a standing army has been necessary; but despite this there have been some of the bloodiest wars between the British authority and the natives in the history of European colonial government. The fear of an uprising in India is ever present with the British people, as the natives forget no injury (and they have been subjected to uninterrupted injury), and constantly look forward to the time when they shall be able to throw off the yoke of oppression and repression. Will that time ever come to them? "The sun never sets upon the British Empire," and "the drum beats of Great Britain are heard around the globe" are boasts which the Britsher never tires of repeating. But the spirit law which moves silently in the rise and fall of nations has played some queer tricks upon those who impose their law of conquest and exploitation upon alien races. In the time of Jesus the eagles of Rome overawed the world; today there is no Rome, and there are no eagles of Rome. "The Nlobe of Nations, there she stands. A shattered urn within her withered hands, Whose holy dust was scattered long ago." A different policy is pursued by the British in West and South Africa. Actual settlement of the country by British people, as in Australia, and development of the country by British labor, under government by British people, from active participation in which the natives are rigidly excluded, are the threads of the policy. The natives are treated, for the most part, as allens, and are tolerated, under drastic restrictions, in the colonies, or forced back into the interior. The Dutch Boer republics treated the native Africans with scandalous inscence and brutality, and the British, since their conquest of those republics, have changed for better little of the policy of the Boers. Like the Irish in Ireland, the native African is more at home anywhere else than in his own West and South Africa, which the British have taken over as their own inheritance. With the growth of British interests and the development of the policy of suppressing and oppressing the native blacks of West and South Africa, prejudice against the blacks has grown into a national policy in the British islands; it has, therefore, been determined by the home government that it would be bad policy to allow Jack Johnson an opportunity to knock out Bombardier Wells, as it would give British islanders the impression that, physically, at least, a black man is the equal of a white man, while making the black of the African colonies restive under the roke of oppression and suppression. THE ROAD TO RICHES. "It beats the dickens what schemes crooks will try to get a little money, and take a chance with the government," said a secret service man the other day. "Two fellows who had been kept on the move recently lighted in this city and inserted 'ads' in country papers, offering a book of secrets, entitled, 'The Road to Riches,' asking only that the prospective purchaser send 50 cents in stamps. "Of course, they were themselves on the way to riches until we interfered." "Well, what was their scheme?" inquired the reporter. "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that. Why, they mailed their victims a copy of a book directing them to the United States mint, Sixteenth and Spring Garden streets, telling 'em how to get there from any point in Philadelphia."—Philadelphia Times. DRINKING WATER. During the hot season, particularly, one should drink a great quantity of water-at least one quart a day. The beneficial effect of taking a glass of clear, cold water on arising and before retiring, as well as between meals during the day, will become speedily and happily manifested in a clearer complexion, brighter, new physical and mental activity and life. Pronounced cases of constipation will be overcome by eating fruit, such as apples, figs, dates and prunes and by drinking plenty of water. Charleston, S. C., is one of the cities of the south where the negroes outnumber the whites. The population of the city is 65,000, of which 40,000 are colored people. There are a large number of colored churches with large membership, good buildings and well qualified pastors. Ir recent rallies held by some of these churches Emanuel A. M. E. church, Dr. N. B. Sterrett, pastor, raised $2,500; Mt. Zion A. M. E. church, Dr. E. H. Colt, pastor, raised $1,800; the Plymouth Congregational church, Rev. A. L. DeMond, pastor, raised $1,100, and St. Luke A. M. E. church, Dr. P. J. Chavis, pastor, $700. There are several very successful physicians, dentists and lawyers. A colored hospital and nurse training school is meeting a great need of the people and fitting many young women for profitable employment. With the organization of a stock company composed of colored men, a five and ten-cent store has recently been opened on the main business street with colored girls as clerks, and is doing good business. There are 15 negro undertakers, two negro drug stores, two newspapers, several real estate dealers, a negro orphanage, many private schools and two negro insurance companies. Charleston has a large number of negro contractors, storekeepers, butchers and mechanics of all kinds. Negroes compose almost all the fishing squads, and In the phosphate factories the black man has the first place so far as labor is concerned. Some negroes are employed at the navy yard, in the custom house, and many colored railway mail, clerks make their headquarters here. Mr. C. M. English has the government contract for transporting the mails to and from the trains to the post office. Charleston has colored letter carriers, colored policemen, colored firemen, two colored teachers in the public schools. The property owned by individual colored people amounts to many hundreds of thousands of dollars, a number of the churches are out of debt, and some fraternities, benevolent orders and labor organizations own their own halls. One colored family, the Hollavays, now live on property owned by their kindred for 300 years. A CLERICAL PUN. On one occasion at Athy, where Canon Stavely, the English divine, was then stationed, he was visited by the archbishop, whom he induced to visit a new coffee house which had just been opened in the interests of temperance. Naturally the distinguished guest was served with a sample cup of coffee. He tasted it, while Canon Bagot and the manager waited in complacent expectancy of commendation. They were disappointed. The cup was hardly set aside by the bishop, who ejaculated, with prolonged and unmistakable emphasis: "A-bom-nable!" Then the manager suddenly remembered. "Oh, your grace," he explained, "a box of matches fell into the coffee tank this morning, and I did not think it right to waste all the contents of it." "If your grace will come again," promised Canon Bagot, interposing quickly, "I faithfully promise you a matchless cup of coffee." LONGEST FLIGHT BY BIRDS. Perhaps the longest straightaway flight made by birds in their migrations is accomplished by some of the shore and water birds that nest in the islands of Bering sea and spend the winter at Hawaii and Fanning island, 2,200 miles away. Inasmuch as some of these birds live entirely on the shore and are probably unable to rest on the surface of the water, it is thought that they must accomplish the whole distance in a single flight. Yet, although there are no landmarks for them upon their long journey over a waste of waters, they make their way to their destination with the precision of a rifle shot—New York Herald. MORTIFICATION WELL EARNED. An Englishman, alone with Richardson, the novelist, said to him, "I am happy to pay my respects to the author of 'Sir Charles Grandison', for at Paris and at The Hague, and, in fact, at ever place I have visited, it is much admired." Richardson appeared not to notice the compliment, but when all the company were assembled addressed the gentleman with, "Sir, I think you were saying something about 'Sir Charles Grandison.'" "No, sir," he replied. "I do not remember ever to have heard it mentioned."—From Orvine's "Cyclopedia of Anecdotes." CHEESE IT. Do you know how to play "cheese it?" It is popular on the playgrounds because any number of boys can enter the contest. One has to "go it" and he takes the stick and stands with his back to the others, who are grouped at the far end of the yard. The boy with the stick thumps it upon the ground three times and then suddenly turns around to look at the others. If he can see anyone moving forward he names him and sends him back to the starting point. It is the object of the players to dash forward quickly while the catcher is not looking and to remain still, when he turns around. Philadelphia's Record. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It was many years ago that a wave of sentiment in favor of higher education swept over the race. A fewer number of years ago industrial training was brought forcefully to our attentions. If we read correctly the signs of the times not many years hence the religious training in schools established for this especial purpose will be acclaimed everywhere a new panacea for our racial troubles. In founding his religious training school at Durham N. C., Dr. James E. Shepard seems to have originated a line of educational work that will take strong hold not alone on the negro people of America, but on the whites as well. It is a peculiar fact that a negro leader has thought out and popularized each new possible solution of the race problem, and each of these movements has been along educational lines. Dr. J. C. Price stirred the, country on the idea of higher education; Dr. B. T. Washington so impressed his industrialism that the whites appropriated the idea for their own improvement; Dr. Shepard's idea is now being taken up by the whites and they are beginning to use it on a large scale for their own betterment, not leaving the negro altogether out of the movement, however. It is, then, a noteworthy fact that negroes have worked out almost independently the ideas for the development of their people, while the whites have furnished most of the "where-with-all" to put these plans into operation, themselves being influenced by the transaction. Much attention is being attracted just now to the American Interchurch college being established in Nashville, Tenn., to train individuals for carrying on religious work. The main college, for whites, will be affiliated with Vanderblit university and Peabody college, while the colored department will be affiliated with the colored colleges of the city. The Interchurch college has a capitalization of $1,000,000. There will be raised $200,000 for the colored department, making the total endowment $1,200,000. A layman wonders if a movement of this kind means that the church is losing ground and must in this way be reinforced to be saved itself; or does it show that the church has failed in fulfilling one of its missions? It has boasted of fitting workers for the Master's vineyard. Is this important feature of church work to be turned over to religious schools?—Southern Life Magazine. It is a source of deep regret to see wayfarers among the younger women of our city. To see so many of our young women parading the streets alone at night, darting in here and there bound for a good time must make thoughtful men and women stop and consider, what is to become of our future? Such actions are not restricted to a certain class, the ordinary girl whose home life and environment has not been the best, whose education and society circles has not been with the efficient, but this is often seen among the real "best girls" of our city. Some of them run the streets and are like passengers as if having no home, people or good associates. Just lately some of the girls of city were forced to pass the words, "We must drop her," because this girl was making herself too common, had given up the idea of living a clean, respectable, decent life, forsaking possibly all chances of taking on the happiness of matrimony and bringing joy in the world with the beauties of home life. The Chronicle aims not to be a life preserver of those that are hidebound for destruction and immortality—with all hopes gone, but it suggests that the good club women of our city, individually for that matter, to use some influence in encouraging young girls to seek the right paths, to so conduct themselves that they may not fall and be lost by dissipation and finally lost as a respectable member of decent and refined people. No race can rise higher than its women and it behooves us to look these conditions square in the face; not merely meditate, but to act with a definite purpose of uplifting. Men and women, let us save the wayfarer. Let us put emphasis on the men. Young men and old men for that matter can stop encouraging young women to be out at nights, to meet at certain places, such as winerooms, cafes and buffet houses. Our decent young men should think of their own sisters and the respect in which they should be held when they in turn invite young women to places that lead to drink and vice. With the wave over the city to stop graft and gambling, it might be opportunity to start a wave to save the young women, stop the passengers and wayfairs in the streets and turn them in the direction of home. Life, decency and respectability—Illinois Chronicle. Dr. E. H. Olver, pastor of Warren Chapel M. E. church, Atlanta, Ga., sets aside one Sunday of each year as "Old Folks' day," when the younger people do honor to the fathers and mothers in Israel for their past service and present-counsel. This helps to keep the younger and older elements of the church in harmonic touch, and impresses upon the young people respect for old age. The season is upon us when the college and university throw open their doors to the young men and women of the race. Many are returning to devote another year to knowledge, while thousands for the first time will seek the ways of wisdom. The educational institutions in the south have done more for the negro people in forty years than educational institutions have done for any people before in an hundred years. As we count the seasons and mark the achievements of the people since the close of the Civil war, we marvel at the revolution by the books and a consecrated army of teachers. Everywhere in the south the preacher and the teacher ought to go among the people, pick their brightest youth and urge them to seek a school of training. In this way we can build up a leadership, not with respect only to certain relations sought to be established, but particularly with respect to scholarship, to science, to art and to the professions. Sight must not be lost of the preparation the great mass of people ought to have in the frades, in agriculture, particularly agriculture, and the household economy. To us it is encouraging to note that much of the silly debating that got into the life of the race ten or fifteen years ago about education, its need and kind, has passed out. What the negro needs is education; the kind he needs no man can establish, Booker Washington was never wiser than in his refusal to set metes and bounds for the training of colored men and women. His opinion is our opinion and the accepted rule of all who study with a serious mind the situation in the south. What is education? As many anwers to this riddle as there are philosophers in the council we have had. But it is safe to say that education, whether the spirit or method of it, gives the power to see two stars where we saw only one before, and makes two bolls of cotton to grow where only one grew before. Education, they tell us, means service, and he is not educated who does not serve his fellowman. That is true, but education means also individual emancipation, not only out of selfishness, but also out of poverty. It is a poor education that gives the man or the woman no power to lift himself up. Colored people can afford to disregard the warring ideas and opinions regarding education and insist upon the children getting hold of useful knowledge, that is, knowledge that will help us all forward to a wider life, and to a higher place in the higher life of the country. Any education that does this is the proper education. The education that does not do this is no education at all-Editorial: New York Age. Governor Northern in a recent address before the Evangelical Ministerial union of Atlanta holds that religion is the only remaining sufficient solution of the negro problem. This seems strange when one looks at it from the negro's standpoint. It would seem that the real problem is not of the negro's making but is a by-product of white prejudice. If religion is the solution then whose religion? The negro has religion enough to spare and the evidences of his passive submission are written on every page of his contact with white people. Clearly the governor means that the religion of the white people is defective insofar as it pertains to according the negro those rights and privileges which are guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land. We are at one with the governor that only religion can cure the evil, but how can we get at the people with this pure and undefiled brand of religion. True it is in the Bible, but the people have become so accustomed to having their thoughts made for them that possibly they would not understand such a raw truth even though it should be found in the Bible. It is plainly up to the white preacher to do some real plain talk to their congregations concerning the teachings of the Bible along this line. When brought to a test can one really depend upon the preacher to say the plain truth about the teachings of the Bible on the race question? We rather think not. The preacher prefers passages which are not discordant with the sympathes and prejudices of his hearers and really there is more solid dollars in that kind of preaching than any other. Why blame the poor preacher for being human? He is not really able to be a martyr. "Love ye one another." The elasticity of this friendly relation has been stretched to such an extent that it has been broken in two distinctive parts. The stronger end is alive and energetic and it preys upin the weak end most terrificly. It's a common occurrence to some of our leading preachers, teachers and business men preaching and trying to impress the man that is not a professional one or in business. But he with all his influence, wealth, etc., will turn his hand from one of the brothers of the weaker end, when he is in need, yet he has extortionally received his wealth from him. Treat your brother as yourself. If you will not help him let him alone. Don't pull him down. Palestine Plaindealer. WHY WE SHOULD EDUCATE TO DEVELOP HONESTY OF PURPOSE, STRONG MORAL CHARACTER—TO FIND OUR PROPER PLACE IN LIFE—TO BE OF THE GREATEST SERVICE TO MAN-KIND—TO PERPETUATE THE RACE. By WILLIAM C. STRICKLAND, A. B. Education in a general sense, is the development of the entire man. In a narrower sense it is the unfolding of the powers of the mind through special processes of training. No one application of the term has now, or ever has had, a common acceptance. Proper education develops in both soul and body all the perfections of which they are capable. It includes all those processes adopted for the realizing in individuals their highest ideals, while instruction includes all definite means and methods for accomplishing certain ends, for the most part of an intellectual character. Education has two phases. First, it is the physical and psychical unfolding of individuals solely with reference to those activities within themselves. Second, it is the process of adjusting the man to his environment, to the ideals and customary practices of his fellows. We should educate, then, first, to develop honesty of purpose. By that is meant a consecrated effort to live and work for all that makes the world better. No one quality gives so much dignity to character and so much help to a race as consistency of conduct. The unrealized is always greater than the realized. In every human life the unrealized self is the unseen, but all-powerful force which brings into subjection the will, guides the conduct, and determines character. The men who do things, the men who are leaders in thought and deeds, the men who inspire, guide and direct, are those who not only attempted, but accomplished, the task undertaken. Second, we should educate to develop strong, moral character. Virtue is personal worthiness. It is pure, decided and independent. Even though it is difficult, if not impossible, to get an ethical creed to meet all demands of our educational life, yet, there is satisfaction in the thought, that pure morality is common property. All good men agree, that moral education is the most important part of education. As a real force in life, it is stern, unbending, unfaltering. It is the main spring of action, a fountain of inspiration, a source of strength and power. We educate in vain, if we do not educate for a clean individual and racial conscience. We educate in vain if we do not place virtue above vice, and integrity above hypocrisy. Manhood and womanhood are the enduring and imperishable products of an education founded-up upon truth, and conducted in line with a high standard of morality. Third. We should educate to find our proper place in life. A population is divided into three great classes, namely, the vitality, the personality and the social classes. In the high vitality class are the best farmers and well-to-do people, people who own and till the land, and maintain the physical vigor and insure the growth of the community. In the personality class we find the inventive, the imitative, and the defective classes. Geniuses and persons of talent are found in the inventive class. Persons of normal intellectual and moral power are in the imitative class. Where is our place? I answer by saying: "We are rising to take our place beside, The noble, the aspiring. With energy and conscious pride, To the best things we are rising." As a race, we must become conscious of our possibilities, and must find our place, before we can know what life has in store for us. Fourth. We should educate to be of the greatest service to mankind. There are about 40,782,007 persons in the United States over twenty-one years of age. Of these, only 8,000 have become famous for some work of importance. Of the 8,000 famous persons, the numba without an education is thirty-one; the number with a common school training is 808; the number with both a common and a high school training is 1,245; and the number with a college and a university training is 5,728. Thus it appears, first: That an uneducated child has only one chance in 150,000 of attaining distinction as a factor in civilization. Second: That a common school training will increase his chances nearly nine times. Third: That a high school training will increase the chances of the common school boy 23 times, giving him 87 times the chances of the ignorant child. Fourth: It appears that a college education increases the chances of the high school boy nine times giving 219 times the chances of the common school boy, and more than 800 times the chances of the uneducated child. Fifth. We should educate to perpetuate the race. Knowledge is the mother of zeal. Paul did not go out of Asia until he heard the Macedonian cry. Fred Douglas did not "pray with his feet," until he heard that it was better for him beyond Mason and Dixon's line; and it is the knowledge of a better future for us that causes us to educate today. No race ever achieved lasting distinction that made physical development its highest aim. The individual is the proof of the race, the first fruit of its potency and promise. The glory of any people is perpetuated by the illustrious names which rise among them; and as the highest peaks catch the sunlight first and reflect it longest, so a race's commanding characters stand out prominently, typifying the esteem in which it is held by the world. An intellectual revolution is sweeping over the earth, breaking down established opinions, and destroying foundations on which false faith and skepticism are built. God is preparing and training us for an hour that is sure to come. Not only is he preparing us for that hour, but he is also preparing the die with which to stamp our progress, and the hearts of men to receive our impress. When Napoleon drew up his troops before the Mamelukes under the shadows of the pyramids, pointing to those huge masses of stone, he said: "Soldiers, remember, that from yonder heights forty centuries look down on you." Members of the negro race, from the pyhalmid top of opportunity upon which God has placed us, we look down on 250 years of servitude and 46 years of freedom and we stretch our hands into the future with power to mold the destinies of unborn millions. Let us improve our opportunities, for "We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time; In an age on ages telling, To be living, is sublime." VENTURING IN SPITE OF HANDICAPS Although young men are realizing rather fully that the young man in business has a hard row to hoe, yet a great many are striving to follow the advice given by our leaders that they go into business for themselves or invest in promising business ventures. The unfeeling treatment they often receive at the hands of the public is in many instances inexcusable; yet, very often they, themselves, are responsible for such experiences. People naturally expect a young fellow to be unreliable, unstable and generally lax in his business methods, and whether or not he has these faults, for a long while he must bear to be looked upon with suspicion. But if he makes it a rule to be prompt, to keep his promises and stick to his work, the public's attitude and treatment of him will gradually change, and he will awaken some day to the fact that he has first-class rating as a substantial business man. But the young man should be helped to realize what he will be "up against" when he takes the leap into the business arena. One of our exchanges conveys a good idea of this in two paragraphs, under the heading, "Get Out and Dig." saying: "Neither success nor good fortune will come to any young man unless he gets out and digs. To remain idle and sit around and grumble about conditions will never aid anyone in gaining the things that he most needs. Such practice weakens the character and unifies it for the pressing needs of the hour. No man can hope to succeed without preparation, neither can he hope to succeed unless he is perfectly willing to pay the price. Too many desire to get more out of life than they are willing to put in. There is a class who want to demand the salary of an experienced and fitted clerk after they have been engaged three months. There are others who demand more salary than they can possibly make their employer pay, and they are ready to quit if their salary is not forthcoming. There are others who want as much salary in the beginning as is paid to men who have spent the best of their lives in the same work. "In order to succeed, a young man must begin at the bottom and work his way up. If he is careful to improve every moment and is always alert to his employer's interests, is honest and in every way faithful, he is sure to go to the top. Big salaries are due only to those who fit themselves for the position. It takes experience as well as education to fit any man. Unless a young man is willing to encounter the knocks and hardships and the changes, he has no business in any field of labor. The strong young man does not fear these things. He knows they are bound to come, and when they do, he knows the escape is to conquer them. Yes, get out and dig. There is no rosy bed that leads to fortune; there is no smooth path that leads to fame. It takes grit, endurance, and a good, well directed purpose." -Southern Life Magazine. TURF AS A FILTER. Recent experiments in France have shown that natural turf is an excellent material from which to form beds for the filtering of sewage, says the Scientific American. A volume of between three and four cubic meters of sewage can be purified every day for every square meter of the surface of the turf. A turf filter that has been in use for some time shows no diminution of efficiency. If a larger proportion of sewage than that mentioned is employed the filter proves less effective, but it recovers its power when the amount of sewage is reduced to the proper portion. Chemical analysis and the effects upon fish put into the filtered water unite in testifying to the efficiency of the process. DRESSING FOR FRUIT SALAD. Put into a double boiler one-half cupful of lemon juice, one-half cupful of orange juice, a cupful of water, a cupful of sugar and three eggs, beaten en very light. Cook until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, then take from the fire and set aside to cool. --- Sunday School Lesson for November 5, 1911. ESTHER PLEADING FOR HER PEOPLE. Golden Text—"The Lord preserveth all them that love him." Fs. 145:20. Esther 4:10—5:3. Commit 4:13, 14. Time—Between 480-865 B. C. Place —Shushan. Exposition—I. Esther's hesitation and Mordecal's faith, 10-14. This book has been criticised because the name "God" nowhere appears in it, but the presence of God is seen in this lesson and everywhere throughout the book. Herodotus informs us that ever since the reign of Deloces, king of Medea, there was a law for the security of the king's person that no one should be admitted into his presence. All business must be transacted with him through his ministers. How strict this law was appears in v. 11 and it applied to the queen as well as others. Esther had good excuse for hesitating to carry out Mordecal's charge to go in unto the king to make supplication and request in behalf of her people (cf. v. 8). She was not at all sure of her own hold upon the king, for she had not been called to appear before him for thirty days. Moreover, she was familiar with his treatment of his former queen. Vashtl, who had once been a favorite but lost her power in a day by an indiscreet act (ch. 1:10-19). Mordecal had not a glimmer of doubt and relief and deliverance would arise to the Jews. Of this he was sure, because he trusted in God and he had God's own sure word for it that the Jews should never be destroyed as Human proposed (Num. 32:26, 27, 36; Jer. 30:11; 33:24-26; 46:28; Amos 9:8, 9). No enchantments against Israel could succeed (Num. 3:22-24). And we may have a similar confidence regarding the church today; for whatever obstacles and perils may arise in the way, the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18, R. V.) Esther might think herself secure because she was in the king's house, but the vengeance of God can find the one who falls to his duty in the king's house as well as anywhere else, and when he seeks to save his life by neglect of duty he will lose it; but when he takes his life in his hand in order to do his duty, he will in the truest sense find his life (Matt. 16:24, 25; Jno. 12:25). The one who faints in the day of adversity and danger and forbears to deliver those whom it is in his power to deliver, himself suffer by it, for God will see it and punish. (Prov. 24:10-12). If Esther, after having been raised of God to this position of honor that she might do the work God had in mind when he raised her to it, had shirked her duty and sought only her own security, she HOW TO MAKE WASHING PLEASANT. Laundry work is one of the most important branches of domestic work, and different fabrics require different methods of treatment. If the following rules are carried out, much time, labor and expense may be avoided and the washing day become a pleasure instead of drudgery. The name "washing" is supposed to have been given to the process of cleansing clothes in water because of the peculiar sound produced—something like the sound of the word itself. Three things should be kept in view in washing clothes. First, to get out all the dirt; second, to keep the things a good color; third, to use nothing that will destroy the materials, either chemically or mechanically—that is, by using strong soap or bleaching powders or by rough beating or scrubbing. All articles except stockings should be mended before washing, as it saves labor and prevents the clothes wearing out so quickly. It is important to remove all stains, before washing, as the alkali of soap, combined with hot water, is apt to fix them as dyes and so render them permanent. Before attempting to remove any stains it always is necessary to consider first the substance of the stains, and especially the nature of the material. In a general way, stains are of three classes: Those caused by mineral, those by vegetable, and those by animal substances. Under the first come ink stains and those caused by rust and metal. Under the second, those caused by vegetable substances, in which are included coffee, tea, wine, mildew and fruit. Under the third come those caused by blood, wax and oil. Besides these are grass stains and spots caused by paint, which is a combination of vegetable and mineral. Having classified the stain its removal is more or less easily accomplished by means usually found at hand. WATERMELON RIND PRESERVES. Slice rind of melon that is thick, leaving on a little of the red. Pour water and vinegar over the sliced rind, let stand overnight. Next morning, weigh rind, allowing three quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of rind. Dissolve sugar in a little of the water, boil until rind is tender, after adding rind to the slurp; also add a little white stick sugar. Shortly before removing from the fire add some slices of lemon. would have been guilty of groes ingratitude to God, as God had designed her for this work and providently opened to her the opportunity of performing it. 2. Ether's Decision and Preparation for the Work, 15:17. Ether proved equal to the occasion. She took up the work that God had set before her. She took her life in her hand and bravely marched forward to "conquer or to perish. She recognized the peril, but said, "If I perish, I perish." If she had lost her life, she would have indecided saved it (Luke 9:24). The church needs today men and women who do not count their lives dear unto themselves, so that they can finish the work that God gives them to do (cf. 20:24; 21:13; Phil. 2:30). But Ether was wise as well as courageous. She made most thorough preparation for the work in hand. The first best preparation of all was humiliation of self and people before God, and waiting upon him in prayer. There is no mention of prayer, but it is clearly implied in the fasting, for among the Jews fasting was unto prayer: The ancient way of seeking God's favor was by fasting (2 Ch. 20:3; Isa. 22:12; Joel 1:14; 15; 21:12-17; Jncr. 3:4). There is power in such a recognition of one's unworthiness in God's sight as leads one to humilize one's self before him by fasting and praying (cf. Jas. 4:8-10), and there is power in that determination to seek God's face in prayer and not to let him go until the answer comes, that leads one to turn his back even upon his necessary food that he may give himself up to one thing, waiting upon God (cf. Dan. 9:3; 4). Esther demanded the co-operation of all the Jews in this humiliation of self before God; it was to be thorough-going, three days and three nights—the same period that Saul of Tarsus went with out food or drink (Acts 9:9) and that Christ was in the grave (Matt. 12:40). But what she demanded of the Jews she also did herself. The Persian law must be risked to obey God. 3. God Gives Esther Favor in the Sight of the King, 5:1-3. The expression "on the third day" in Scripture means after the completion of three whole days and three whole nights (cf. ch. 4:16; Luke 24:21). Though Esther's chief dependence was upon God, at the same time she took whose measures to gain the favor of the king. She arrayed herself in her very best. She was wise as a serpent, as well as harmless as a dove (Matt. 10:16). True faith is quite consistent with the exercise of sanctified common sense. But Esther had a falter adornment than that of her royal apparel (cf. 1 Pet. 3:3-5). She did not stop until she was in the inner court, risking all, to live or die, for her people. But God had seen the humiliation of Esther and the people and heard their prayers. The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord to turn it wilthersover he will (Prov. 21:1) and in this case he turned it to favor Esther (cf. Neh. 1:11; Acts 7:10). The king made a bountiful offer to Esther, but a far mighterl offer to give us whatever we ask of him. He is saying to us today, "What wilt thou?" (John 14:13, 14:15; I John 3:22; 5:14, 15). DIRE EXTREMITY. "I want a pair of gloves, for my 'Enery' said the lady from White-chapel, bustling into the outfitter's shop. "About what price, madam?" "About fourpence." The cheapest we have in stock are one shilling a pair, madam." "Oh, that's too much, 'Enery's going to a ball, and he'll only wear them once." "That's the best I can do, madam." "Haven't you any woolen ones at fourpence?" "No, madam." Then there's no help for it. 'Enery will 'ave to wash 's 'ands, that's all." -London Telegraph. HE LICKED IT. A rather simple-looking lad halted before a blacksmith's shop on his way home from school and eyed the doings of the proprietor with much interest. The brawny smith, dissatisfied with the boy's curiosity, held a piece of red-hot iron suddenly under the youngster's nose, hoping to make him beat a hasty retreat. "If you'll give me half a dollar I'll lick it," said the lad. The smith took from his pocket half a dollar and held it out: The simple-looking youngster took the coin, licked it, dropped it in his pocket and slowly walked away whistling—Ladies' Home Journal. THE LOYAL BOOKSELLER Certainly the loyalist bookseller on record was the John Stubbs who offended Queen Elizabeth by publishing a book protesting against the proposed marriage with the "imp of the crown of France." The unhappy man was condemned to suffer the loss of his right hand, which was accordingly chopped off with a butcher's knife in the market place at Westminster. "I remember," says Camden, "standing by Stubbs, who, as soon as his right hand was off, took off his hat with his left and cried aloud, 'God save the queen!' The next moment he failed." The Romance of Bookselling. President Grant's Suggestion Concerning Stream for Which an Appropriation Was Asked. General Grant has left behind him no reputation as a humorist, but he had a dry wit, nevertheless, which was perhaps the more effective for being seldom used. Ex-Senator Depew of New York has related one instance of its use. When Grant was president a delegation went to Washington to see about getting an appropriation for dredging a certain stream. They called on the president and tried to interest him in the plan. "Let's see," said Grant, reflectively, "didn't I cross that stream in such and such a campaign, just before we fought such and such a battle?" "You certainly did, Mr. President," said the spokesman of the delegation, hopefully. The president was silent for a moment. Then he said: "I remember that stream; but I think you're going the wrong way about to improve it. Why don't you macadamize it?"—Youth's Companion. J. New Band Leader—Do you read music, Mr. Corntosse? The Country Cornettist—No; I plays it. I ain't no elocutionist; I'm a musician, I am. BOILING MICROBES. "The germ theory, thanks to the study of hygiene in the schools, is familiar even to our children," said Dr. Charles T. Aikens, president of Susquehanna university, in an address at Selinsgrove. "Two little Selinsgrove urchins played in their mother's kitchen the other day while the cook boiled some water. Hearing the sound of the boiling, they drew near the gas range. "What is in that pot?" said the first urchin. "Water," said the second. "Just water." "What is the sound I hear, then, brother?" "Sister, it is the microbes crying." A DISAPPEARING TYPE. Mrs. E. H. Harriman, at a dinner in New York, said of the begging letter nuisance: "I am overwhelmed with begging letters. I received 5,000 begging letters before I started on my recent western trip. It isn't unusual for me to receive 100 begging letters a day. "And most of them are from men. Women have a finer, holder spirit than they used to have. The clinging, babyish type of woman is disappearing—the type of woman, I mean, who writes begging letters, and who, if married, has for her motto: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you get what you want." TOO IMPATIENT. "No," said the clerk in the drug store, "we haven't got that, but—" "Oh, I don't want something else that is just as good," the would-be customer interrupted. "I wasn't going to offer you something just as good. What I started to say was that if you didn't watch out you'd have your elbow on the fly paper—there! You've gone and got yourself stuck to it!" WEALTH IN WASTE PAPER. In the treasury department at Washington, D. C., two women are designated as waste paper examiners. The contents of all waste baskets pass through their hands. Every scrap of paper is examined and sorted. Last year the department realized from the sales of its waste paper $19,000. DINNER TABLE OF THE KING Laying of the Board for George Vale Attended With Very Consider The laying of the royal dinner table is of necessity attended with a good deal of ceremony. First come the "upholsterers," whose duty it is to see that the table is in its proper place, and in good condition to bear its precious burden of gold and silver plate. The weight of the famous Flaxman service, designed for George IV., is so tremendous as to justify fully this precaution. The upholsterers, having seen that all is in order; give place to the "table-deckers," who arrange the snowy napery, worked with the royal arms, and the plainly folded serviettes. Fanciful shapes are, inadmissible on the royal table. This accomplished, there enter the "yeomen of the silver pantry," whose task it is, as their name indicates, to place the silver in position. The "deckers" then arrange the flowers, thus putting the finishing touch, after which the royal table is considered "well and truly laid." POSSUM FARMS OF VICTORIA Big Ranches In Australia Where These Animals Are Raised for Thelr Fur. One farm exclusively for breeding opossums has been started in Gippsland, Victoria, which comprises 2,000 acres of eucalyptus bush land. Another farm comprising 500 acres has been started in southern Tasmania and another of 150 acres in New South Wales. The chairman of the Sydney stock exchange has become much interested in the possibility of commercial breeding of opossums for their fur, and expects to start a large farm for this purpose near Sydney. In Western Australia there seems prospects of a company being formed for the breeding of possums in a stretch of eucalyptus country comprising about 200,000 acres. Many instances are also being reported of farmers in various parts of Australia taking up the breeding of opossums as a special feature of their farms, in this way using timbered sections of their land which would not have much value for any other purposes.—Consular Reports. BUT COULD HE? "How absurd some of the jokes about married people are!" says he. "Aren't they?" laughs his fiancee. "I read some the other day about married men having to wash the dishes, and that sort of thing." "Perfectly ridiculous!" "As if a man ever would have to wash the dishes after he got married!" "Silly!" "Seems to me they could find something funnier than that to print." "Indeed, yes!" "How does anybody ever happen ot write such nonsense?" "Yes, my angel?" "You know how to wash dishes, don't you?"—Judge's Library. HAD NAME IN MIND. "Where was Christ born?" asked the Sunday-school teacher of the small pupil whose father was a railway engineer. "In Hannibal," was the unexpected reply. "No, no," said the teacher. "He was born in Bethlehem." "Well," rejoined the little fellow, "I knew it was some station on papa's road." LAUGHING DOWN A WHINER. "The bluff, cheery optimism of the late Senator Frye," said a Lewiston divine, "could not brook a whiner. "Once at a dinner here in Lewiston, a whiner seated opposite Senator Frye said dolefully: "I have only one friend on earth—my dog.' "Why don't you get another dog?" said Senator Frye. BREAKING A WISDOM MONOPOLY. "I'm afraid the country suffered a great loss when they failed to send our eloquent and able friend back to congress." "Not at all," replied Senator Sorghum. "The sense of the plain people again prevailed. Why should the lecture platforms be robbed that the brainy men may be assembled to listen to one another, where instruction is superfluous?" The praise of our Relief Department is being sung in all parts of the state. This should cause the brethren to do their duty fully in every respect. Next month is election month. Prepare to put only the very best material forward. The well being of the lodge depends on the selection of the officers. This is Thanksgiving month. Remember the poor orphan on Thanksgiving Day. Among Falth, Hope and Charity, the latter is the greatest. Thus let us practice to be charitable in every respect. At last has the first Worshipful Master of a Lodge in Georgia been honored. Brother Stanford was the first Worshipful Master of Eureka Lodge of this city. He was also the first pastor of the First A. M. E. church in Georgia, St. Phillips church of this city, of which our Worshipful Brother L. A. Townsley, D. D., is now pastor. Our lamented Brother Stanford was honored by having a flourishing lodge named after him. This lodge was set up in this city on Monday night by the Grand Secretary, who acted as Special Deputy under Grand Master Butler. This new lodge was worked up by our Rev. Brother S. T. Redd, who was untiring in his effort for its success. A large number of the brethren were present and assisted in the work. All of them, especially the candidates, expressed themselves as being well pleased with the manner in which the ceremonies were conducted. The officers of the A. L. Stanford lodge are: A. B. Singfield, W. M.; D. J. Reed, S. W.; J. C. Lindsay, J. W.; F. M. Bell, Treasurer; Frank Cain, Secretary; J. W. Love, S. D.; M. Peterson, J. D.; C. G. Jordan, S. S.; A. R. Wilson, J. S.; A. W. Alexander, Marshal; Rev. B. S. Hannah, Chaplain; Wyly Kemp, Tyler. This lodge bids fair to be among the best in the state. I consider the quality of forgiveness the highest attribute of manhood; the privilege of forgiving God's greatest gift to man.-Garibaldi. A genuine brother will lay aside his personal feelings for the sake of his lodge or the fraternity, and by this act will produce the strongest evidence of his fitness for Masonic preferment in the future.—Square and Compasses. Please allow space in your valuable columns concerning the craft of the Central City. Having read in your last issue such wholesome food for craftsmen, we can't help but let the world know that we acquiesced with you. Too much cheapness is not the right thing for Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. To obtain a good thing you must pay a good price for it; by so doing you will appreciate it. The craft of this city is progressing fine. Most of the lodges report having paid the first installment of the Orphans Home dues. This institution is one of the greatest projects that was ever put on foot by any institution that exists on the globe. The lodges are gradually taking in new members, not the kind that we are ashamed of, but those that we are proud to be with at any time—those whom you can see when you attend the churches and other places that are under the tongue of good repute. The Masons of the city, were invited to lay the corner stone of one of the largest Baptist churches in East Macon yesterday, namely: Mt. Morlah, Rev. N. B. Wright, pastor. Knowing that the Grand Master was not altogether favorable of the Sunday cornerstone laying, we were somewhat reluctant in writing his honor for a dispensation. However, we braced up courage and wrote him, explaining the circumstances, knowing that this work was for erecting God's temple, and we felt that we would not be trespassing by so doing. He being a God-fearing man, and you cannot be an up-to-date Mason if you are not, answered us, saying that for the purpose of such a laudable cause as that, he would descend to grant the dispensation, with the hope that the same would be done for the help of God's work and with credit to the order. Yesterday the Masons of the city met at their Temple under the auspices of Phoenix Lodge No. 12 and formed a Grand Lodge as follows: Past Master L. H. Burdell, G. M. Past Master J. H. Brunson, D. G. M. Past Master Z. C. Solomon, S. G. M. Past Master A. L. Glasco, J. G. W. Past Master J. H. Hall, G. C. Paster Master E. G. Bigham, G. T. Paster Master L. A. Jones, G. S. Past Master F. B. Kyles, G. A. Past Master James Ray, G. Marshal. Past Warden R. J. Jones, G. S. S. Past Warden E. D. Jones, G. J. S. Past Master Charles Gragg, G. Ty- The craftsmen of the city are now planning for a general lodge of sorrows at an early date, there having been so many of the brethren that have been called from labor to refreshment and to their home in that house not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens. Four weeks ago Brother H. Roberson of Central City Lodge No. 199 and two weeks ago Brother R. A. Butts of the same lodge were called to that Grand Lodge, which never calls off, both of these brethren were officers of the lodge and also officers of the church.

"Esophagoscopy" is one of the newest words which the scientist of necessity has coined. As science progressed in its many lines, it has been responsible for more "built-up" terms than classic English could have dreamed of. Take this new word, "esophagoscopy." It is a combination of the noun "esophagus" meaning the channel through which the food from the mouth reaches the stomach, while the last two syllables are made of "scope"—as used in telescope, microscope, spectroscope. Thus the combination suggests a way and means for allowing the surgeon to look down the esophagus in search of foreign obstructions or of injuries to the organ. One of the leading physicians of St. Paul has been gathering statistics showing the enormous number and variety of foreign substances that are swallowed by persons of all ages and which often result fatally. He says that in almost any case of the kind, a pin, needle, button, bone, and even teeth plates are swallowed and in the beginning may be little more than an unpleasantness. Here is the opportunity for using the esophagoscope. Before the sharp substance has a chance to perforate the esophagus the combined mirror and electric light may be inserted, the object seen and removed without harm. If the obstruction be left, however, it starts irritation, becomes a festering wound which almost invariably will cause death. HADN'T FIGURED IT OUT. Mrs. Grouchy—What would you do if I were to die? Grouchy-I can't say, offhand, how I would spend my vacation. . MICROPHONE VALUABLE The French inventor Dienert has, according to the Scientific American, contrived an application of the microphone to the discovery of underground water. One end of a tube is inserted in the ground, the upper end being attached to the microphone. The sounds of flowing or dropping water are conveyed to the ear from great depths. In the Marne valley two springs were discovered with this apparatus at a depth of about fifty feet below the surface of the ground. It is believed that the apparatus will be of great service in mining operations, both for indicating the location of concealed springs and for communicating with imprisoned miners. GREASE VERSUS GRAVITY. Dr. Arthur William White of Yale delights in telling of his experience with an inventor of the unlettered genius type who came to the professor with a model of a perpetual motion machine. "H'm; looks plausible," observed Dr. White, "but it won't work. What are you going to do about gravity?" "Gravity?" said the visitor, scornfully. "Tell wit' gravity; we'll use plenty o' grease."—Osmopolitan. There is nothing worse than a rainy washday except two rainy wash days. THE JOHNSON HOTEL With all hotel conveniences. Hot or cold baths.
