--- The G. A. R. Go To Decoration Exercises G. A. R. Go To Decoration Exercises TWO BOAT LOADS LEFT FOR BEAUFORT THURSDAY NIGHT Over Two Thousand Persons at Pier to See Crowd Off—Veterans from City and Suburbs Take in Trip—Many Left—Exercises at National Cemetery. From about nine-o'clock Thursday night until eleven thirty the river docks at the foot of Abercorn street were the objective point for an unusual throng of Negro citizens, many of whom were weighted down with heavily laden baskets of food. The reason for this unusual gathering of citizens at this point on this particular night was the departure of the annual excursion of the local Negro members the Grand Army of the Republic to Beaufort, S.C., where they will take part in the memorial exercises to the fallen heroes of the Union army. The veterans and the crowd which accompanied them on last Thursday night were conveyed to Beaufort on two boats, the steamers Clivedon and Pilot Boy. Both boats were comfortably filled, there being about eleven hundred persons in all to make the trip. The Mutual Club went on the Clivedon. In comparison to former years, the crowd in point of numbers, was not quite as large; but what was lacking in size was more than made up in enthusiasm. Shortly after nine o'clock the crowd began to assemble and it was evident that there would be no delay in the departure of the excursions on account of a lack of numbers. Thn veterans, whose post is known as Robert G. Shaw No. 8, were attired in their uniforms and were apparently deeply concerned with thoughts of the impressive exercises in which they were to take part in the beautiful little South Carolina town. Many of them were scarcely able to walk with a steady gait on account of the ripe old age to which they had attained, without the assistance of a cane, yet they, together with their more active brothers whom Father Time has dealt more gently with, went arm-in-arm on the steamer which was to carry them to the resting place of their dead comrades. One of the most feeble members of the post who said that he was hardly able to make the trip, had to be borne by his comrades in an improvised chair and he protested vigorously when it was suggested that he be left behind. His friends acceded to his wishes and he was carried along. Not only were the excursionists from this city, but many were there from the outlying districts. Because of the fact that the steamers left a little before the scheduled time, many who had planned to take the trip in and had taken their time about getting down to the wharf were left behind. The first boat left the city about 10:30 o'clock and was followed in about a half-hour's time by the second. The excursionists arrived in Beaufort about seven o'clock in the morning and the parade to the National Cemetery where the exercises were held took place at ten o'clock. The Sons of Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps accompanied the Post on the trip. Letter Carriers and Subway Giants Play Tuesday On Tuesday afternoon, June 3rd, at the baseball park, the Letter Carriers will meet the Subway Giants in a baseball game for the benefit of the Old Folks and Orphan Home. The game will be called at 3:30 o'clock and promises to be very interesting. Owing to the fact that the proceeds from the game will go to charity, coupled with the fact that several members of the two competing clubs are old Savannah stars, it is expected that a fairly large sized crowd will be out to witness the game. Admission to the park will be 10 and 15 cents. VOLUME XXVIII Negro Head Pythian Lucky to Get Away Alive. Montgomery, Ala., May 27. A special to the Advertiser from Pensacola, Fla., says that W. S. Green, of New Orleans, grand chancellor of the Negro Knights of Pythias, who insisted on riding in a Pullman with white people, was taken from a train at Milton, Fla., late last night by an angry mob. The timely arrival of the sheriff prevented personal injury, and the Negro was lodged in jail for safekeeping. This morning he was fined heavily for violating the "Jim Crow" law. He thanked the sheriff for the protection given him and got out of Milton tonight Baptist Educational Raffy Nets Two Hundred Dollars. The educational rally held at the First Bryan Baptist church on last Wednesday night in behalf of the Berean Baptist Academy was very largely attended and resulted in about two hundred dollars being added to the fund that is being raised for this institution. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic rallies which this denomination has ever held in this city and was full of interest from beginning to end. The Reverend D. Augustine Reid, pastor of the Second Baptist church, was master of ceremonies. The speakers of the evening were Mr. J. C. Lindsay, Rev. M. Nathaniel Clarke and Prof. L. B. Thompson. The Speakers all spoke along educational lines and their words were received with enthusiasm. Music for the evening was rendered by the choir of the Second Baptist church, assisted by the First Bryan Baptist church choir. Reports of the collection from the educational envelopes were taken in by the Rev. McD. Spencer, and the public collection was raised by Rev. Wm. Gray and Rev. Daniel Wright. All delinquent subscriptions may be paid to Rev. McD. Spencer. The Baptists of the city are making great efforts toward raising a sufficient amount of money to erect a building for the Berean Baptist Academy and the money realized from the two recent rallies will go to this fund. Athletic Meet at Hampton Institute Stronger and better colored young men and boys through properly conducted athletics has been the experience of Hampton Institute since the coming of Charles A. Williams, the school's physical director. Two successful athletic meets, an inter-class competition and afield-day contest open to juniors living in Hampton and the vicinity attracted recently hundreds of people to Hampton Institute. The records for the inter-class meet follows: shot put, 41 foot, 3 inches. 100-yard dash, 101 seconds. I mile run, 5 minutes 7.3-5 seconds. High jump, 5 feet 3 inches. 220-yard dash 23, 3-5 seconds. Half-mile run, 2 minutes 10 seconds. 120-yard high hurdles, 18 2-5 seconds. Quarter-mile run, 58 1-5 seconds. 220-yard low hurdles, 28 2-5 seconds. Running broad jump 19 feet 3-8 inches. Polo vault, 8 seet 8 inches. Mile class relay 5 minutes, 53 4-5 seconds. Charles F. Stevens, a colored student Forcyth, Ga., won the individual championship, 21 points for 3 firsts and 2 seconds. Fred Bonder, a Chippewa Indian of Roosevelt, Minn., won 20 points Bonder secured 4 first in four contests entered. The silver championship was won by the Junior Middle class, 70 points; Juniors, second, 36 points. Silver fobs were given as first prizes; bronze fobs as second prizes. JUNIOR MEET At the first Hampton Institute athletic meet, held on May 18, excellent records were made and much enthusiasm was shown. Newport News, Colored Y. M. C. A. won the championship banner with 77 points; Whittier school 64; Locust Street Settlement of Hampton 48; Charles H. Williams was assisted by several Hampton students in conducting the meet in which there were four classes of entrants, 80 pound, 95 pound and unlimited weight. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA;SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1913 Seventh-Day Adventist's Hold Convention 2500JNEGROES"ADHERE TO FAITH Over $20,000 Given by Negroes in 1912—Head of Negro Work in this City at Convention—Figures on Progress of Race Given by Speaker Washington, D. C. May 25, 1913. To a vast audience of thousands of Seventh-day Adventists gathered to-gether for their quadrennial business session in a unique city of over six hundred tents, at Takoma Park, a suburb of this place, Pastor A. J. Haysmer, secretary of the North American Negro department for the Adventists, delivered an inspiring report concerning the specific work of Adventist among the Negroes, and the remarkable growth and progress of the colored race generally. Pastor Haysmer is a leader among the Adventist, being a member of the General Conference committee, the governing board of the denomination; and, as one of the best informed whites concerning the work and statistics of the Negro population is a dominant figure among the colored people. Among the prominent colored members of the church who heard Pastor Haysmner give his report were: J. K. Humphreys. New York; G. E. Rodgers, Baltimore; W. D. Ford, Chicago; L. W. Brown, Indianopolis; J. H. Lawrence, Louisville, Ky.; J. H. Campbell, Washington, D. C.; W. H. Greed, Detroit; Charles Lightner, Oklahoma City; George Peters, Montgomery, Ala.; J. G. Dasent, Birmingham, Ala.; J. W. Dancer, Little Rock, Ark; Mr. J. W. Manns, Savannah, Ga.; Mr. Strachan, Jacksonville, Fla.; Mr. King, Vicksburg, Miss; Philip Gidding, of Dominica, W. I; and Hubert Fletcher of Jamaica, W. I. The speaker took up the statistics concerning the progress and increase of the Negro race from the year 1863, the time of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln, stating that at that time there were 4,500,000 colored people in the United States, and that this number has swollen to 10,000,000 at the present time. Commensurate with this increase in numbers has been their progress in occupations, branching out from their former sole occupation of tilling the soil to the different professions of physicians, surgeons, editors, lawyers, teachers, dentists, clergymen and manufacturers. Besides these there are thousands engaged in the trades, and others are employed in government service, a thing previously forbidden by law. The speaker said: "Fifty years ago the colored people in the South were without lands, money, stock, or homes. To-day they not only have money in the bank, but own 20,000,000 acres of land. Their total wealth is over $700,-000,000. They have over 400 educational institutions including colleges, theological schools, schools of law, medicine and pharmacy, agricultural and normal colleges, these institutions representing a property investment of $17,000,-000 and a running expense of $1,-000,000 yearly. National organizations have been formed for their educational, economical, and professional advancement, such as the Negro National Educational Congress, the National Bankers' Association, and the National Bar Association." With the abolition of slavery came a religious awakening, so that the Negroes, according to Pastor Haysmer, gave a larger percentage of their earnings for religious work than any other people, they now having $57,000,000 in church property. They contributed annually $150,000 for home and foreign mission work, and have 35,000 Sunday schools with over 1,700,000 pupils. They own four publishing houses for the publication of church literature, their largest establishment being in Nashville. Tenn., which is valued at $350,000 and employing 150 people at an annual wage of $200,000. Concerning the work of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination among the colored people, the speaker said: "There is no question. in my mind, but that the Lord interposed for the freedom of National B. Y.P. U.'s To Meet Here WILL CONVENE AT FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH One of the Largest Gatherings That This City Will Entertain—Elaborate Plans Being Made for Delegates—Every Section of Country to be Represented. One of the largest and most important gatherings that has ever met in this city will be that of the National Baptist Young People's Union which will convene at the First African Baptist church, Franklin square on the 8th of July. The session of this meeting, which will be known as the National B. Y. P. U. Congress, will consume about five days and will be among the most interesting ever held by this organization. The local B. Y. P. U. has been assured of representation from every section of the country and it is expected that the number of visitors in the city to these meetings will be upwards of two thousand. Some of the most influential and most celebrated Baptist ministers in the country will be in attendance upon the convention and that the citizens in general will be treated to a rare opportunity in these meetings of listening to some of the best talkers that the race affords is a foregone conclusion. The National B. Y. P. U. is one of the strongest and most powerful agencies for good among the young people of the country, and among its membership are to be found some of the most intelligent young people of the race. The organization has as its president Dr. E. W. D. Isaac of Nashville, Tenn., and assosciated with him in his cabinet are men of national reputation. The reception of the delegates is in charge of a committee of which the Rev. W. L. Jones pastor of the First African Baptist church, is chairman. Rev. Jones and his assistants have been very busy for the past week or more securing homes for the delegates. The work of this committee is very difficult in view of the fact that the out of town attendance at the convention will be extremely large. In order to facilitate matters it is hoped that those who care to accommodate delegates will send their names to the chairman of the committee as soon as possible. Dr. Wm. Kraft, Field secretary of the organization, was in the city a short time ago and organized a large chorus which will render music at the convention. The committee in charge of transportation has been able to secure low railroad rates for the delegates and it is expected that this will prove quite an inducement to many to visit the convention thereby getting at the same time an opportunity in visiting our city whose beauty has been heralded on all sides, who otherwise might not find it convenient to come. Accommodations at Tybee For Negroes. There has been recently opened at Tybee Island a cottage for the accommodations of Negroes. Mrs. Annie Dickerson is proprietress of the place which is, known as Brown's Cottage and is situated at the Fort Screven station. The accommodations are first-class in every respect, rates are very reasonable and meals are prepared for pleasure parties. the colored race that they might be in a condition to accept the message of God through us which we began to teach shortly before the war. Today there are 2500 colored people in this faith. The Oakwood school at Huntsville, Ala., which has closed its most successful year, has graduated ministers, teachers, business men and nurses. The amount of mission offerings and the tithe by our colored people in 1912 was over $20,000." The Adventists will remain in session until June 8th. Problems affecting the further progress of the Adventist doctrines to the world will be brought up. Officers will be elected, most important of which will be the selection of a successor to Elder A. G. Daniels, the president, SOCIAL SCIENCE AT FISK UNIVERSITY Negro History and Negro Problem to be Studied Nashville, Tenn., May 26.—Announcement has just been made of the Social Science Courses to be offered next year at Fisk University and of the plan of the University to co-operate with the Woman's Council of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and the Methodist Training school at Nashville, in developing a social settlement in one of the Negro neighborhoods of the city. Dr. George E. Haynes, Professor of Social Science at Fisk, says that this arrangement of cooperation will give a new impetus and a great outlet for the intense interest of the students in the conditions among the people of the city and will offer them an opportunity to get acquainted with the people and to learn by practice what college education can do to help the masses. He says it will also be a great help in articulating the University with the pulsating practical life of the people and enable it, to better train its students for leadership and service. The department offers an introductory course in economics in the senior year, two hours per week. In sociology, three hours per week will be given to class work, and four hours per week to field investigation and practical work. One of the most interesting features of the department for next year consists of a course in Negro history for the juniors and a course on the Negro Problem for the seniors. The history course traces the growth of American democracy in its relation to slavery and the Negro American. It aims to give the student an historical background for his thinking about present day conditions. The course on the Negro Problem is offered to members of the senior class and is a careful study of present conditions in both the country and the city. In this course, use is made of all available material on the subject and in addition to the general class work, each student is given some particular topic relating to the economic, educational, social or religious conditions among Negroes for special investigation and report. The course aims to teach the student how to study conditions among Negroes in an accurate way and with a broad humanitarian point of view. Closing of Swangin School The closing concert of Swangin school was held at Bethlehem Baptist church, Monday night May 26th. The program was carried out in excellent manner. All who attended greatly enjoyed the program and highly commended the school. There were two graduates, Miss Georgiamae Bella Gaskins and Miss Lettie Viola Gertrude Gardner. A very interesting and timely address was delivered by Prof. Wm. Bryant of State College, Orangeburg, S. C. He spoke very complimentary of the work of the school and his address was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience out. One of the unique features of the school for several years has been the organizing of a savings department among the students, namely a "Success Club." The pupils saved $95.00 this term. The object of this club is to cultivate the habit of saving among the pupils. The fancy work and plain sewing is comparable with any normal school. The millinery department is also of a high standard. The boys play well their part in all the different departments of the school, in sewing and making caps. The teachers are Principal, Mrs. Emma E. Swangin Chance; Assistant Principal, Miss Carrie Belle Coles; Miss Lucy Lanie Coles, Mrs. Elizabeth Garret and Mrs. Annie Belle Wright. The next term will begin Wednesday Oct. 1st, 1913 at Coles hall, 616 Waldburg street, west. The annual social of the school was held Tuesday evening May 27th, at Duffy street hall. A very delightful evening was spent. Miss Anna Belle Williams was pianist for the occasion. Floating Population. We presume the term "floating population" originated with Noah and the ark. NUMBER S7 Body of Austin Burned By Mob PORTIONS OF BODY CARRIED AWAY BY MOB AS SOUVENIRS Austin Died While Being Carried on Steamer to Bluffton, S.C.—Headless Body Left Hanging From Tree—Appear of Wounded Man Here Attracted Wide attention Richard Henry Austin, the Negro accused of rape who killed three white men about a month ago in South Carolina, and who evaded a large posse for several weeks was finally captured last Tuesday and was brought to this city, Wednesday en route to Hampton, S.C. Austin was fatally wounded Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock by two of the members of the posse in the rear of the house of a family named Jarrell, near Newington, Ga., where he went seeking something to eat. The posse, which had been searching for Austin for many weeks, was informed of the whereabouts of their man, and when Austin returned to the house for food he was mortally wounded by shots from the guns of two of the members of the posse. At the time of his capture, Austin was found to have but three cartridges in his possession and had lost about thirty pounds of flesh since the chase started, about a month ago. The officers who had Austin in charge left with their man shortly after capturing him, for Hampton, S.C. They came by way of this city and arrived here Wednesday about soon and left at half past two on the steamer Attaquin for Bluffton, S.C. The sight of Austin and his captors in this city attracted much attention and until the steamer left a large crowd surrounded the automobile in which the wounded man was carried. Shortly after the steamer had gotten under way the wounded man breathed his last. Arriving at Bluffton, news was communicated to Hampton that Austin had died. From Bluffton the body of the dead man was carried by automobile to Hampton and immediately upon arriving there the mob, which had gathered, took possession of it, dragged it from the car to the Court house square and there mutilated it. Toes, fingers and ears were cut off and carried away by the members of the mob as souvenirs. Then the head was cut off. After burning the mutilated body it was strung up and hung from a tree in the public square. Another Enterprise Another Enterprise Messrs. J. C. Hamilton, E. W. Sherman, F. D. Tucker, R. W. Williams, A. D. Monroe, I. S. Bryant, A. W. Bryant and Clarence E. Brent have applied for an incorporation into the Advocate Printing Co. They will install a printing plant and have the privilege of entering the publishing field. With our large population and increasing number of business men there is no reason why the venture properly conducted cannot succeed. The Tribune welcomes every legitimate business among us. The Imperial Club Changed Quarters The Imperial Aid and Social Club has removed its club rooms from Reynolds street to 621 Oglethorpe Avenue, corner of East Boundary street. The new quarters of the club consist of two floors. The first floor being used as a meeting room, connected with a public reception room. The upper floor is used exclusively by the club members and their guests. This floor consists of four rooms, all of which are very neatly furnished. The club expects to have an opening as soon as they have completed all necessary arrangements. Mr. H. H. Pace, cashier of the Penny savings Bank, Memphis, Tenn., and newly elected secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company, was in the city Tuesday. Mr. B. W. Warren of Americus, Ga., was in the city Wednesday. After this week my office will be located at NO. 457 WEST BROAD STREET where I have secured very commodious quarters for the accommodation of my customers. I take this opportunity to thank the public for the very liberal patronage which has made this change necessary. Two Little Sons of the Crown Prince of Sweden. M Photo by American Press Association The two little sailors shown in the photograph are the sons of Gustaf Adolf, duke of Skania, the crown prince of Sweden. Princess Margaret their mother, is a daughter of the Duke of Commanthor, brother of the late King Edward VII, of England. The oldest boy standing to the left is named Gustaf Adolf after his father. He is seven years old, and his title is Duke of Westerbouton. The other boy is named Slyrdr. He will be six next July, and his title is Duke of Upland. They are charming little fellows in appearance, as they probably are in fact. Sweden comprises the eastern half of the Scandinavian peninsula, as well good geography scholars know. It has a population of 7,521,000 and is separated from Norway by the Koken mountains. The Five Scenes Any number can take part in this game, which requires a hello preparation beforehand. Penel and paper must be given each player, and the various articles for testing the senses should be in readiness before the game begins. A card and wagers, such as are used in progressive enchilada, may be given each guest to keep the record of his successes and errors. As prizes first and booby are given for the best and worst answers. The players are blindfolded, and a tray is passed to each in turn, with a dozen or more different things to be tasted—sweet, sour, bitter, bread, cake, fruits, etc. Only a very small particle of each is given. The tray is then taken away, the eyes unblinded, and each player must write down the names of all the articles he has tasted that he can remember. A tray is brought to the blindfolded players, with spices, medicines, flowers and perfumes, which are offered them to smell, after which, as before, they must write down the names of all the things they think they have smelled. Again the players are blindfolded, while others of the company make various noises all at once—singing, crying, laughing, pounding, ringing bells, tearing paper, playing on musical instruments, etc. A tray is brought to the blindfolded players with various articles to be felt by each in turn. These may be wool, cotton, cloth, marble, hair, flour, ice, china, glass or anything thought of. Then, as usual, they must write down the names of all things they can remember. A tray is placed before the players, now unblinded, and they are to look at the group of objects displayed upon it while twenty is slowly counted; then the tray is removed, and the players must write a list of all the things they have seen, so far as they remember. This game is a good drill in observation and memory, as well as an amusing entertainment. Straightening Walking Sticks Walking sticks as they grow are often crooked and have to be straightened. A heap of sand is provided on the top of a hot stove, into which the sticks are plunged until they become pliable. The workman takes the crooked stick while it is still hot and inserts it in a notch cut in a stout board, placed at an angle inclined from him, where he bends and straightens it. When it has become perfectly straight it is thrown down to cool, after which it becomes rigid and permanent in its lines. NOTICE OF REMOVAL Ireland's Wild Dogs. Wild wolf-like dogs are still found in the remote parts of Ireland. They have soft, round ears, rather pleasant, broad faces, and can easily be tamed if they are caught young. They do not hunt in packs, like wolves, but usually live and hunt apart with their mates. In bodily conformation they are much like the Eskimo dog, but of slighter build. Sun-dry Reflections. Although there need not be such haste, For mother's son has time to waste. In winter mother's son's awake When morning light begins to break, But really it is most surprising How late the other sun is rising PRUNING YOUNG TREES. A reader of these notes who recently set out some small trees asks for some suggestions in regard to pruning them so as to give best results. In a general way it may be said that this early pruning—that given during the first four or five years of the tree's life—is by far the most important. In the first place, one should keep in mind that the most important result of this pruning is to give the tree the proper head or frame on which its later growth and strength and usefulness are to depend. To give this it is well to trim one-year-old trees (straight whips) to a height of from eighteen to twenty-four inches. Personally the writer trims both apple and pear trees at the point where the knee strikes in passing. A number of side branches will grow from this stub, and the following season these should be thinned to five of the strongest growing at nearly equal distances from one another and cut back at least a half of their length, and to outside if the trees have an upright habit and to inside buds if it has decidedly spreading habit. The directions just given will apply to branched two-year-old trees that were got from the nursery this spring and to two-year-old trees set last year that were not pruned at all. The aim in all this pruning should be to give a sturdy symmetrical face and to have the union which the branches make with the trunk as strong as possible, hence no limbs should be left which in later years will give a crochet that is likely to split down. During the growing season a good deal of needed pruning may be done with tape fingers, water sprouts and shoots growing where they are not wanted while still tender. Young trees should be kept well cultivated, and where they are set in the yard or lawn one should spade about them and give a mulch of strawy manure to keep the soil from baking in dry weather. If small trees set fruit it is usually best to pinch it off, so that all strength may go to the development of the tree. A COUPLE OF FOOLS. The biggest fool pair that the writer has heard of in a long time he ran across the other day. The man had a small house and an acre of ground worth some $750 and was sparking a half baked girl, who said she would marry him if he would buy an automobile. He fell to this and swapped his place for a machine and $100, which won't last a great while in defraying gasoline and repair bills. This man, though industrious, is but a day laborer, and just what he and this girl of his will do next winter in a rented house if labor should be scarce it is rather appalling to contemplate. And yet we suppose they will be happy as larks with this auto, and if they don't worry about the future perhaps others ought not to. RATION FOR SHOTES. As nearly an ideal ration for growing shotes as one could have is furnished in the fall by a field of corn in which cowpeas were drilled between the rows just following the last cultivation. Small tracts should be fenced off and the hogs turned in and allowed to hog down both corn and peas. Sheep also may be turned in, in which event they will eat the peas and browse the lower leaves of the corn. In case neither hogs nor sheep are turned in the peas may be cut with a mower and made into hay after the corn crop has been removed. BRAVERY. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb driven cattle; Be a hero in the strife. —Longfellow. Like a Bad Egg. Though a man with money be a bad egg, people seldom take offense until he is broke.—Chicago News. When a woman makes a hairpin answer as a buttonhook she goes to extremes. -Philadelphia Record. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] It is likely perfectly natural, but there are folks who would rather attend a moving picture show than have a square meal. Some one has found out that if a bushel basket is slipped over a hog's head the animal can be easily backed up most any kind of a clute. Have things all shipshape around the poultry yard, so the hens will be bringing in the profits from their eggs while you are making the field crops pay. Most farms could be in le much better in appearance and considerable value added to their buildings and fences by the use of the paint brush about this time of the year. A record potato vine is reported by a resident of Lewis county, Wash. It was eight feet long and weighed forty-four pounds, while the potatoes from it weighed twenty-nine pounds. Next to the apple, the strawberry is the most generally grown of American fruits and, from the standpoint of revenue derived from its cultivation, also ranks next to the apple in importance. Sweet peas are vigorous feeders on plant food and will be the more luxurant if they are watered after they are well up with dilute manure water or are given a mulch of well rotted manure. The late session of the Iowa legislature increased the bounty on wolves from 55 to 520. This may serve to lessen the tendency to allow the old ones to live in order that the bounty on the wheeps might be secured. Cows should never be fed exclusively on silage, but should have some dry forage fed with it. Silage is a carbonaceous food and should have some more nitrogenous food to go with it in order to make a better balanced ration. If you like to have the birds about your place undisturbed it will be well to put a quietus on those small red squirrels with a target rifle. If you do not they will not only destroy the birds' eggs, but will kill their half grown young ones. Have an eye for the small fruit. It is easily tended to and harvested, and by careful handling at canning time it will greatly assist in cutting down the living expenses. It is more conducive to good health, too, than so much greasy meat, gravy, etc. It is an interesting commentary on the method of farming that is being followed in many western states that the average yield of corn is steadily decreasing in the central western portion of the corn belt, but that it is on the increase in the eastern states. The health of many families as well as their pocketbooks would be n good deal better off if during the summer months they would substitute other forms of protein food in place of meat. Among these are garden vegetables, milk and its byproducts, nuts, cereals, fish and eggs. *It is questionable whether or not in the long run there is any gain in putting the seed of a given vegetable in the ground before the season for it. The stuff comes on slowly before it warms up and is likely to be stunted and not to do so well as that from seeds planted quite awhile later. The common milk weed, which until a few years ago was considered only as a pest, is now being cultivated in many gardens as a valuable food staple. Its thick leaves when cut, or broken exude milk which is 'full of nutrition. The leaves are cooked' in much the same way as spinach and taste very much like asparagus. WEST BROAD STREET the very liberal patronage which has made Very Respectfully, G. H. B RDAN. WLLIAM Extremes. Models In Silk Are Picturesque and In Vivid.Colorings. Wraps of all kinds are fascinating this season. The separate coat as women formerly knew it scarcely exists. But if the general utility coat, appropriate for wear with many frocks and upon many occasions, has disappeared at least its substitutes are attractive enough to make people lament its passing only from the consideration of economy. Where once a single coat might serve the well dressed woman now needs at least half a dozen, and the chances are that instead of a modest half dozen she has a dozen or a score. Each 1 frock intended for outdoor wear calls for its own coat or wrap, and even the sheer summer muslins, the elaborate afternoon frocks, the lovely evening frocks, are likely to be sent forth with coat or wrap accessories if they are fashioned by authoritative makers. Mid-Victorian is the term that comes to one's mind when they look at the picturesque wrap seen in the illustration. This up to date shawl effect is carried out in Nell Rose crape, with a deep hem of satin in the same shade. A frilly ruche of cream lace trims the fronts of the shawl. The cuds are gracefully knotted. Making Very Good Looking Furniture From Discarded Things. Start to talk with any woman about the present day cost of living, and in a few moments, you are likely to learn of some little economy that has been practiced, said a woman recently. That was my experience not long ago. This time the saving took the form of making useful and presentable some old bedroom furniture that had been cast aside. My companion told me that she had two straight chairs and a rocker, all without seats; a chiffonier minus handles and the varnish worn off, besides, and an old white enamel bed-stead with but little enamel on it. Here was almost enough furniture for a room she wanted to furnish if she could make it look respectable. She bought three seats for the chairs at 10 cents each, ten new handles for the chiffonier and a can of varnish and can of white enamel. Aided by her husband, she resented and varnished the chairs, mended and varnished the chiffonier and painted the bedstead. The transformation was surprising. With new curtains at the windows, the bed and chiffonier with white covers, a table from another room added on which books were placed, no one would have dreamed, she said proudly, that the pretty, fresh looking room was evolved from such hopeless looking material. "Never despair" is a motto all housekeepers keep hidden in the depths of their being, or if some do not they should. "Are you certain that was country sausage you sold me yesterday?" asked the old fogy. "Yes, sir," replied the butcher. "Genuine country sausage, sir. Why do you ask?

Little chicks are likely to have trouble if they are not given an opportunity to scratch and stretch their legs by the time they are three weeks old. And such trouble is aggravated if the ration is too laxely fat rather than holie and muscle forming. At just the right time, when the weeds are starting in the surface soil, an iron rake is the best weed killer for the small garden that we know of, as it not only covers a good deal of ground, but stirs it well and exposes the tender roots of the weeds to the sun. A leading eastern agricultural journal recently contained an illustrated article telling how one man failed in the poultry business. While they won't say much about it, there are doubtless a good many of its readers who will be in shape to sympathize with this unfortunate. A firm in Massachusetts makes a business of collecting stray milk bottles. Last year it collected from various sources 2,500,000 bottles, and of this number 500,000 were taken from city dumps. If this practice is general in American cities it is no wonder that the cost of living is a trifle high. Trouble in breaking a horse may be reduced to a minimum if the animal is halter broken before it is eight months old and accustomed to a bit before it is a two-year-old. The value of many an otherwise fine horse is often considerably reduced simply because of the postponement of the training referred to until after it has its habits of life pretty well formed. There is to be established on July 1 a new bureau under the federal department of agriculture that will have charge of what will be known as the rural organization service. The main object is which attention will be given will be better marketing facilities, social welfare and other problems having directly to do with the farmers' financial, physical and social welfare. An examination has been made into the causes of the unhurtiness of trees and garden plants in many large cities, and it has been found that leaky gas mains are responsible for the trouble in most cases. Sweet peas have been found to be especially sensitive to gas fumes. Among the trees the cottonwood seems to be the most thrifty of the common shade trees in the presence of this handlep. A friend reports the loss of several litters of pigs when the sows were halfway through their period of gestation as the result of their getting hold of a quantity of molly silage which was thrown out. This is but one of several instances which have been reported lately where loss of little pigs has resulted from this cause. This experience is a somewhat costly one, but its lesson is well worth learning. The dilute solution of lime-sulphur has been found an excellent substitute for the bodeaux mixture in the spraying of vine, bush and tree fruits, but as a fungicide for potatoes it has not been found satisfactory. Experiments carried on last year by the New York station showed that potato vines that were sprayed with lime-sulphur were stunted as a result and that the yield of tubers was materially reduced. A pretty good fish story comes from Boston to the effect that a fisherman named John Meuse hauled a lobster aboard the other day three feet long and weighing in the neighborhood of ten pounds. It had claws eighteen inches long and is thought to have been at least twenty-five years old. The lobster attacked the man on being hauled into the boat, but was put out of business with an oar after bliting the legs of his captor. According to figures lately issued by the bureau of statistics, at Washington, the cost of living was higher during the closing months of 1912 than for any period during the preceding twenty-three years. In 1890 the cost of a year's food supply for an average workingman's family was $296; in 1896, $274, and in 1912, $443. From these figures it is clear that there has been an increase in the prices of food-stuffs of about 60 per cent since the year 1896. The slugs that often skeletonize the leaves of pear and cherry trees may be put out of business by spraying the trees with commercial arsenate of lead dissolved in water at the rate of two pounds to fifty gallons or, if the trees are low, by dusting them with fine road dust. In either case the stuff applied puts a kink in the slug's gizzard. Common road dust is also equally effective in doing away with the rose slug. The worms that feed on currant and gooseberry leaves may be exterminated by dusting them, when the dew's on, with powdered hellebor. ```markdown ``` (continuea from last week) A GREAT SPEECH Conclusion And now in conclusion, said the speaker, it is the indispensable duty of somebody, to tell in minute details of the progress, of every branch of Negro business, and in behalf of the Ga.

The Ga. Mutual feels exceedingly proud of the many congratulations it has received during the "great speech," which we have been assured has seriously touched the sensitive business nerves of our people, and while the effect has not been so noticeable as the present tariff bill, yet, as all good things, it will never die.

The lesson which Swangin’s school has taught” the community, in having the children save their pennies instead of spending them might profitably be taught by other schools of the.city. Ninety five dollars sayed during the school year, which was accomplish- ed by the pupils of this school, is a very commendable thing and shows what can be done in this direction by the teachers of the community. . ‘The dismemberment of the dead body of Richard Henry Austin, the South Carolina Negro wiv killed three white men in that state, by a mob in Hampton coun- ty and the carrying away of por- tions of his body as souvenirs was one of the most revolting acts in the annals of the southland, and in point of brutality could not be sur- passed by the inhabitants in the most barbarous portions of the south sea islands. And yet these very same persons are the law- amakers of the land and members of what is styled the “superior race.” What a travesty against justice and against God is this crime! Lhe country in general should bow its head in shame at the perpetration of this dastardly crime, and until the laws of the state, country and God are more highly respected by those whe dwell within the confines of this commonwealth such shameful dep: redations will continve to be brought to the notice of its citi. zens. It is indeed with genuine plea- sure that we have noted the re- cent action on the part of Mayor Gaynor, New York City’s excellent chief executive, in the handling of cases due to discriminating prac- tices of the managers of certain theatres against their colored pa- trons. Mayor Gaynor has made it plain to these would be cham- pions of Negro discrimination that such will not be permitted on the part of those who hold city license. If this same method in dealing with these Negro hat. ers were followed in other places, much of the so-called race preju- dice, which is a really a phantom, to w large measure, would dic out. ‘the individual who opetis ¢ a place of business by virtue o! his holding a license from_ thé community in which the busines: is located, ought to be made tc serve the public regardless as t its huc. His place of busines: in a measure becomes more anc more # public utility as the pub lic grow more and more used te it and its location. Mayor Gay nor has ne doubt recognized this We sincerely trust_ that the -exe cutives of other cities will mode themselves in this respect afte the good mayor of New Yor! city. It is a fact which resists success- ful disputation that few if any workers in a community are harder worked than its school teachers. Itis also true that our school teachers, as a whole, do not receive pay commensurate with the services which they rend- er and the importance of their calling. Often the pay received by our teachers is far below the living wagé. As a result, they neither have means to live’ com- fortably nor the money with which they might increase their efliciency. Weare indeed glad to note that throughout the coun- try there seems to be an awaken- jing among the various school boards to a realization of the ne- cessity of immediate action on their part, to bring about an in- crease in present salaries paid their teachers. We rejoice to note that the school authorities of Savennah like others have caught the spiri¢ of the times andure now devising ways aad means by which x ten per cent, increase in the sal- ary of the teachers may be had oo — _ < ar ae eee ae ee oe ee ey a te , {The ‘Tribune ‘congratulatesymno lof ‘cfiticisd? sud Passaults’ of the Ror’ Rent. * | t \board of education and the’ grand 'race,Jits- individuals and its insti} Two story house, seven rooms jury for their present efforts in “tutions and begin to fall in ling}and bath with modern improve- behalf, of the school teachers of with those who are striving iments. 530 Anderson street east. our county.

From their tem- perament and disposition, one would suppose that they are out out of gear with the entire world and the inhabitants thereof. Men and institutions alike come in for their daily jibes and assaults, Everything and everybody seems wrong tothem. Nothing is right. They are the willing critics of every laudable enterprise under taken for the common good. They seek on every hund to destroy co-operative endeavor on.the part ot the people. They aré’the pro- fessional knockers of the commu- nity. Nothing savors of goodness and virtue unless it ‘originates with them. They seek to destroy the works of the old and nullify the efforts of the young. They seek dictatorship, occasionally, in various undertakings of the peo- ple and failing in their effort to rule, become the unrelenting foe tothe enterprise. They seem to think that they and theirs are the sum total of all that is good and worthy and that others are just the opposite. It is no unusual thing for them to take snap judg- ment on matters of the most se- rious importance and considera- tion and value this judgment over that of those whose time and en- ergy may haye been spent in a consideration of the matter in hand. ‘These people believe that the “sun rises and sets in them.” They believe that nothing can be done in the proper way unless done by themselves. ‘Chey criti- cise everything. If asked to join a popular movement for the com- mon weal, they refuse. Yet if the movement is launched, they take the stump in jest and criti- cism of the same. Their daily vocation and avocation, too, seems to be to tear down rather than to buildup. Itisa fact that some of these individuals above describ- ed, hold positions of responsibility among us. By some turn of good fortune they haye been so honored, being conscious of the prestige which these positions give them, they use the same as a cloak to their destructive tactics. They seek to designate themselves as leaders of the community and so impress others who have not the time nor opportunity to investi- gate the truthfulness of their claims. They scem to forget that to criticise the action of another is easy, but to act more wisely is indeed hard. To those of our people who have so acted, we wish to say to them that, judging from thesignof the times, they have had their innings. The spirit of the age will not admit of their standing longer in the way of progress and enlighten- |ment. The demand of the times fis that they must cease their unt just and uncalled for criticisms of everything and everybody if they expect to hold their own in the community. They must either {lend their support to the building Hup of race projects and enter. | prises or exject to be diseredited as a result of their ingctivity. '|‘Lhe day of the chronic grumbler and groucho among us is of th ‘\past.

An electric storm visited the city Tuesday night. Clarence, the fifteen months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Wright on Radolph street, drank potash and died from its effect a few minutes afterwards It happened on Tuesday. William Williams, a Welsh brick-layer was struck in the head by a billy or some other instrument, Saturday night. He died the following day. His slayer is not known. J. E. Scovill, a white man, seeking medical aid, died on the steps of Dr. Heriot, on Monday morning. The Grand jury has approved the full County budget and also recommend the increase for the teachers. The property valuation of the public works department of the city is estimated to be two million dollars. The other departments of the city will also give valuations. Y. M. C. A. Don't forget the Y. M. C. A.'s meeting tomorrow at 4:30 oclock. Those who have met with us for the past four meetings do not need any special urging to come and be with us again. But those who have never graced the meetings with their presence, we wish to say you, that if you visit the Y. M. C. A. once, you will feel encouraged to come again. An excellent program is planned for to-morrow which will be carried out in one hour's time after the meeting begins. Closing Exercises of St. Mary's School The closing exercises of St. Mary's school will take place on Monday, June 2nd, at the school hall. A beautiful program of recitations, songs and drills has been prepared for the occasion and it will be enjoyed by the parents of the children and the friends of the school. St. Mary's school which is the finest school building in the city for colored children, will close after a most successful term. About 125 pupils have attended the school and over a hundred will take part in the closing exercises. Besides five elementary grades, the school has a Kindergaften which is well attended. The little tots have been very regular and some of them missed only one day during the whole term. A glance over the examination papers show the splendid work accomplished during the year. Too much praise cannot be given to the three devoted teachers, the Misses Davis, Green and Elliot for their zeal and kindness to the children. Besides the ordinary elementary course, a regular training in christian doctrine and bible history is imparted in the Catholic schools. Father Dahlent is superintendent of the school and visited it every day during the term. On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, a farewell party will be given to the children at the hall; after which the promotion cards will be distributed, and then the school will be closed until October. St. Benedict's school will hold its closing exercises at St. Mary's Hall on Monday, June 16th. "One Wonderful Night" That is the name of the strikingly vivid romantic adventure novel of New York life to commence in serial form in next Sunday's New York World. It was written by Louis Tracy, author of "Wings of the Morning," which created such a sensation among novel readers. So get next Sunday's World, turn to the twenty-four-page Illustrated Magazine and start reading this great romance without fail. And there will be another sixteen-page Joke Book. Order next Sunday's World in advance. Deaths Mr. P. J. Doings was buried from Second Baptist Church, on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Doings was sick for a number of weeks. During the time of the colored State militia he was second lieutenant in Company F. Mr. Gus Anderson, an old citizen, died on Sunday night. He was an old employee of the Savannah Electric Company. During the days of the colored militia, he was an ardent member of the Colquitt Blues and served as hospital steward of the battalion until its disbandment. Mr. Anderson was a member of Bethel A. M. E. Church.. 12 CREPE DE CHINE HAT. The soft crowned, floppy brimmed hat of flowered fabric pictured is of buff crepe de chine, printed with terra cotta figures. The ribbon trimmings match the color scheme. The brim droops over the eyes and shades them, while the bow in the rear droops over the neck. Closely fitting turbans are particularly becoming to young girls, though not unsuitable for more mature faces of a certain type. They are always so trim and distinctly appropriate for tallied suits that their popularity is easily accounted for. These new models are of such fine straw that they may be bent into practically any shape desired and cannot fall to be exceedingly becoming. BON VOYAGE GIFTS. Special Steamer Cake Boxes Are Acceptable Offerings. Be very sure that your friend who is setting forth shortly for Europe or the Mediterranean is an excellent sailor before you scatter your substance in costly floral offerings. The fate of most cut flowers sent as bon voyage remembrances is a salty grave, and, unless the stewardess desires for herself the expensive orchids, roses and violets that are hastily turned over to her, when once the vessel begins to roll, overboard they go. If one's friend is an experienced sailor one of the special steamer cake boxes will make an acceptable bon voyage gift. These boxes are fitted with lock and key and may be used afterward for the safe keeping of personal belongings. Inside are little trays and drawers, each filled with appetizing sweet and spiced cakes. Afternoon tea on board the steamer is a great institution, and the woman who can dispense hospitality in the way of delicious little cakes is sure to be popular. Preserved ginger in the small blue jars in which it is put up is another thoughtful bon voyage remembrance, for there are times when at the thought of anything except preserved ginger and a lemon the very soul sickens. A steamer rug is a substantial and handsome gift, and a rug, pillows and, rubber lined case in which these belongings may be packed for storage until the return voyage is a gift that any traveler will be overjoyed to receive. Summer Coats. Cotton eponge coats will be worn during the summer, as their suppleness and noncrushing quality make them preferable to those of linen. Besides the severely tailored styles, the draped models will be much worn because eponge has been woven in much finer qualities this season. The fillet mesh weave is particularly good looking. The mackinaw coats of last summer have been replaced by outing coats that ```markdown ``` NEW MACKINAW. have much more style, and they are in styles that will be more, becoming to the majority of women. These new coats are generally of a fine worsted, serge or whipcord-in a bright shade of green or red, a rich shade of tan, chamois or leather, or in a striped, or checked black and white. A long hip length Norfolk style, with collar and cuffs of white kldskin, broadcloth or eponge, is the most popular. A smart mackinaw in checked black and white is illustrated here. Points for Mothers Dressing the Baby. Mothers seem to be divided in their opinion of how to dress the baby, but their ideas are generally so extreme that they can easily be divided into two classes—the sensible, who believe in simplicity, and the foolish, who try to see how fancifully they can dress their little tots. The elegance of baby's clothes should always be interpreted in fineness and not by fancifulness. If its little slips are to be the most beautiful they should be of the finest-hand woven lingerie cloth and made so daintily that the eye can scarcely perceive the stitches in their narrow seams. That is real beauty and luxury for the baby. The baby's first slips are the prettiest in the plain bishop style—finished with very narrow valenclennes lace edging around the neck and sleeves and brier stitching at the top of its hem. For "best" wear you may want a slightly more fanciful dress, with tiny hand embroidered yoke in the front (narrow tucks running to the neck in the back) and dainty embroidered flowers strewn here and there above the hem. Of course hemming always makes a desirable finish at the seams and is not ornate. The infant's petticoats should be just as fine and plain as its slips. And in winter its "heavy" petticoats should be of the finest French flannel, so that they will not wash together and become weighty and bulky. The channel petticoats should be finished with brier stitched hems. All petticoats should be made with little waists or wide waistbands. Juvenile' Nerves With highly strung children there is often a readiness to pick up nervous tricks from their elders. Thus from one a child learns to stammer, while from another it adopts various nervous movements of the muscles of the face or limbs. Such a child needs to be well fed and kept as much as possible in the open air, to lead a quiet life without excitement and without overexercise of the brain. Above all, it must be kept as much as possible away from those people from whom it seems to be taking the tricks of nervousness. Reserved Boys. Mothers, don't be too ready to think that your boy shows a want of trust in you if he occasionally keeps a secret or omits to tell you every little thing that he has done. Many boys are very reserved. They cannot bear to speak of what they feel deeply. Make your son understand that mother will always be glad to hear what he chooses to tell her, but that she does not want to force his confidence. Then he will speak much more freely to you than he would do if he felt that you were "always after him." Screwing Up the Eyes. Disastrous to beauty of a child's expression is the habit of screwing, up the eyes. The trick points very plainly to defective vision and calls aloud for a visit to an oculist. The visit must not be delayed, for ugly wrinkles round the eyes is the least evil of this defect. A shortsighted child is severely handicapped when it begins its school life, and neglected myopia leads to serious eye trouble in later life. Properly prescribed spectacles are all that is required to end this particular trouble. Mouth Breathing. Mouth breathing, which is one of the signs which point to the presence of adenoids, can only be cured by going to the root of the matter and having the adenoids removed by operation. With very young children it is a wise precaution to do as the Indian squaws do, and that is to press the lips of the young child together when he first falls asleep. Sunbonnets For Babies. Protect the baby's eyes if the sun is very strong. Little sunbonnets of pink or pale blue chambray are both pretty and very sensible for young children. It is far easier to prevent weak eyes than to cure the weakness once it is contracted, and, while the sunshine does not always injure the eyes, you must remember that even a grown person cannot stand or work in the hot sunshine without feeling bad effects from the exposure. Solid Foods The importance of never allowing a "taste" of ordinary food while the baby is small can hardly be overestimated. Not so much as "a crust or bite" should be allowed before he is nine or ten months old, and even that is better postponed until after the first year is completed. Increase In Height. Although perfectly healthy children differ greatly and no fixed rule is possible, the average child increases in height an inch a month between the second and fourth months. After this, up to a year, a half inch a month. Nourishing Dishes Small children who are much in the open and who take vigorous exercise, should have cheese dishes and a little meat, mutton or broth for supper.

Perry, Supt. A. B. Singfield, Genl Sunt. A CONVINCING DEMONSTRATION. That many an orchard is nonproductive, or, at best, only spasmodically co through lack of the fertilizing elements necessary to produce an apple crop, has been very strikingly shown in an experiment which has been carried on in southern Ohio under the direction of the State Agricultural college. Two rows of twelve trees each are located on soil that up to the time the experiment was begun had only been mulched and had received the same spraying, this before 1910. Prior to this time the leaves had been small and of a sticky, unhealthy color. In the spring of the year mentioned there were scattered beneath the trees of one row five pounds each of nitrate of soda and acid phosphate per tree, the application being made over an area a trifle larger than that covered by the spread of the branches. Within a period of two weeks the results of the fertilizing were noticed in a healthier color of leaf on the fertilized trees. This continued through the season and was accompanied by a full setting of vigorous fruit buds for the following season. The following spring the trees blossomed full, the trees being given another application of fertilizer. This was also repeated in the spring of 1912. Both rows received the same care as to mulching, pruning and spraying. As to results, in the fall of 1911 the twelve trees that received the fertilizer yielded thirty barrels of fruit, while the twelve that received none produced but three barrels. In 1912 the fertilized row produced twenty barrels and the other row seven barrels. Putting the results of the two years together gives a gain of forty barrels on the twelve trees that were fertilized over the same number of trees that received none. The fertilizer cost $4.56, or a little less than 12 cents per barrel. In view of such a showing as this, the farmer who has an orchard that is fast getting into or is already in the "star boarder" class might well look into this question of orchard fertilizers. The department of agriculture has recently issued farmers' bulletin No. 518, which gives detailed descriptions of fifty kinds of useful American birds. With each description is given a picture of the bird, done in colored plates. Not only the appearance and habits of these birds are set forth, but emphasis is also placed on their value to the farmer and gardener. It seems strange, indeed, that just such a bulletin was not issued twenty or more years ago instead of a great deal of matter which, in the course of events, was used as a filler for low chairs or to start fires with. However, lovers of birds as well as tillers of the soil should be gratified with this publication, even though belated. Tempting Biscuit Novelties That Will Please Your Guests. SERVED HOT FROM THE OVEN. Fillings of Jam or Marmalade Find a Place In the Center of These Delicious Little Mouthfuls, Which Are Baked In Five Minutes. The housewife who understands how to make baking powder biscuit faky inside and crusty out has an unlimited number of possibilities at her command. For the afternoon tea table these tiny biscuits are in high favor and appear in many gulses. Rolled almost as thin as a cooky, sprinkled with grated cheese and baked for about five minutes in a moderate oven, they furnish an acceptable accompaniment for either tea or coffee. Rolled, equally thin and spread with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, moistened with melted butter, these crisp bits have a suggestion of the much liked cinnamon bread. A raisin is a good center decoration, or a few currants can be used instead. For the hostess who likes a bit of novelty what is sometimes called a "double biscuit" is an excellent addition to the afternoon tea table. After cutting the biscuit into thin rounds put a half teaspoonful of jam or marmalade in the center of half the number and cover with the remaining halves. Let the filling be kept well in the center, so that in baking it will not ooze out. Served fresh from the oven, these are delicious little mouthfuls. A light spreading of honey can be used in the same way, or cream cheese, softened enough, offers another change. The same biscuit dough, made soft enough to come under the heading of a "drop batter," can be used for the filling of tiny patty pans and baked as one would little cakes. These biscuits, so baked, have a delicious quantity of crust, and their cunning size always attracts attention from guests who see them served for the first time. Sets of these diminutive cake tins can be found in various sizes, the preferred style being arranged for the baking of a cake or biscuit scarcely more than an inch in diameter. The tins with fluted edges are especially good for the making of these little biscuits. With the same combination of ingredients an appetizing bouchee is easily possible. Make the biscuit of suitable size and so that when baked it will be about an inch thick. With a pair of scissors clip away a bit of the top crust and in the cavity place a dot of rich preserve. Leave uncovered, so that the bit of cooked filling may show prettily. A single preserved strawberry is the best for this purpose. Not new, but always acceptable, are biscuits of this description, with sufficient of the inside crumb removed to allow of a teaspoonful of richly dressed chicken or lobster salad. A flaked sardine filling is also good with just a squeeze of lemon juice to each portion. Tha Waistcoat's the Thing. White ratije is making some of the nastiest little suits for hot weather wear. The picture shows a smart model in this modish material. The skirt is plain and tight according to the 1 OF WHITE RATINE. latest style requirements, and the coat cuts away sharply in front to display a waistcoat of sulphur yellow ratine. The high waist belt is of black velvet ribbon, also the neck bow. When Baby Travels. There are all sorts of fitted baskets for all sorts of purposes, but the one that most appeals to mothers is dedicated to baby on his travels $ ^{a} $ Some of these are wonderfully elaborate affairs in a morocco case, but one within reach of the average income is of wicker, with stout straps and a firm wicker handle, light enough to be easily carried by a maid. In the basket are a bottle for keeping liquids at an even temperature, two boxes for food, a feeding bottle with special cleaning brushes, a mixing cup, funnel, measuring spoon, napkin, bib, thermometer and a watch warranted to keep baby's meals as accurately on time as if in his own nursery.

Seeing Linnell, the painter, shortly afterward he plaintively said: "I wanted a nice religious picture, and he bainted me a great goat." Exorcising Disease Very curious methods were employed by the ancient Babylonians to exorcise disease. The sucking pig and kid played an important part in the remedies. The pig or kid was to be killed, cut up and placed upon the sick man. The heart of the pig, which had been placed upon the sick man's heart, was to be held by him, and the pig's heart was to be as his heart, the blood as his blood, the flesh as his flesh, and the pig was to be in his stead. The kid was dealt with in the same way, being placed upon the sick man. Fire Apparatus. Jamle Soutar loved to poke the fire and invariably ended by putting it out, greatly to his wife's disgust.

A Screwdriver of Importance. The engine had gone to pieces, the screw revolved no more, and the yacht of the millionaire rolled helplessly in the trough of the sea. Anxiously signaling for help was the wireless operator. He was approached by the owner of the craft. "I wish," said the latter, "that you would advise my wife, in Brooklyn, of our accident." "Shall I tell her the engine is broken, sir?" asked the wireless man. "By no means!" exclaimed the millionaire. "Those bald words would be discomforting to the sensitive woman.

Getting off my base, I am compelled to steal home every night after my wife falls asleep." —New York American. Oriental Rug Dyes. The dyes employed in the coloring of the materials that go to make up oriental rugs have always been the despair of westerners. We are told of one strange method of making the dyes of ancient days. It seems that in some places the custom prevailed of making holes in the beds of brooks during the dry season, in which, when the rain fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral substance were deposited and left to act upon one another until the dry season arrived, when the contents of the holes were removed by the dyers, who, grinding all together indiscriminately, made shades that vied with the pigeon's breast in beauty and with the clouds of sunset in variety. Forgot His Own Name. One of the most distinguished orators of the house of lords confesses that he once forgot his real name. Lord Rathmore, who was raised to the peerage in 1895, has no doubt become accustomed to the title by now. In the early days of his grandeur, however, he was nonplussed when a French railway official suddenly required his name. He could remember that he used to be called Plunket, but had to consult his card case in order to learn his new designation.—London Chronicle. An Extraordinary Biography The most extraordinary biography in existence is neither written nor printed. It is painted. It contains the life and adventures of Charles Magnes, a noble Venetian. Having been calumniated, he determined to set himself right in the eyes of his contemporaries and employed Paul Veronese to paint his biography. The volume has eighteen pages of vellum. Each has a large central picture, surrounded by ten smaller, each having its appropriate inscription, the whole recounting the most notable scenes in his life. Thrifty.

Doncaster Race Track. race track plays a prominent part in the reduction of the taxes of Doncaster, England. It was constructed in 1776 by Colonel St. Leger, and ever since his day Doncaster's famous race course has yielded a rich revenue, amounting to as much as $50,000 a year, to the great relief of the borough rate. Other towns, such as Chester, Lincoln and Ayr, draw substantial incomes from a similar source, but Doncaster stands supreme in the harvest it reaps from its races. Lost to the World.

Beans to Separate Bones. Anatomists, when they wish to separate the bones of a skull, sometimes resort to a very peculiar procedure. They fill the skull with small beans and place it in a vessel of water. The beans swell and rend the skull apart at the sutures. The well known German physiologist Grehaut measured the force which the beans are capable of exerting under these conditions and found that it indicated five atmospheres, equal to the average pressure in the boiler of a steam engine.
