In the basement, which will extend several feet about the street, thereby allowing ample light and ventilation, will be a beautifully fitted up barber shop, a steam heating plant and several storage rooms. Entrance to the two upper floors of the building will be on West Broad street. The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company is the second largest Negro banking institution in the country. Large Crowd at Lincoln Memorial Exercises Standing room was at a premium at the Lincoln memorial exercises at the First Congregational church last Sunday night.

E: CHURCH SELECT HIM Meeting at Macon Well Attended and Discussion Lively—Rev. Carter Received Endorsement After Open Discussion The majority of the delegates of the Georgia, Central Georgia and South Georgia Conferences met in Macon at the C. M. E. Church on the 10th of this month and discussed measures and men. They appointed committees to form resolutions to be presented to the General Conference which meets in St. Louis, Mo. in May. The delegates of the three conferences will ask that the general conference embody these resolutions into law. If the general conference acts favorably upon the resolutions formed, some additions in finance will be put upon the church as well as some changes in the operations of our school. When they had discussed very freely the measures, as they saw needful, they entered into a free, frank discussion of men and while some few raised objections to the discussion of men yet quite a majority took the view that it was timely. Those who held that it was timely felt that a public discussion of men and their fitness as a body of delegates means more for the church than private discussion and writing for and against men through the United States mail. They held further that to commit one's self in the body of delegates for an individual means more in truth than to commit one's self privately. To publicly say what you want, whom you want and why you want it is an expression of courage and is in keeping with the democratic idea and helps to crystalize sentiment for good measures and strong men. It helps the cause of measures and men are put in the lime light for discussion. No great church can be at its best any more than the government until it can rise to the courage of discussing both measures and men in the open, was the view taken by this Georgia delegation. It is generally conceded that the fitness for places is generally discussed in the entire church as never before. It is too natural for the elected delegates to be more determined than ever to give to Colored Methodism its strongest men for all places. They mentioned the fact that the eyes of the world are on the youngest Methodist church and for its own advancement as well as for the general welfare of humanity, it cannot afford to underrate itself by refusing to give to the church its strongest men. Thus this delegation endorsed Dr. R. A. Carter, of Atlanta, as its choice among the Georgia aspirants for the bishopric. Dr. Carter is the choice of at least three fourths of this entire delegation. These men know him as the man, christian minister and general public servant. They know him intimately. They feel that the church has in him the elements to help expand her borders. They feel that for more than twenty years he has been one of its worthy giants and in the noonday of his strength deserves any honor which is in the gift of the church. These men intend to cast their votes not only for the strongest men for the bench but will do the same when it comes to the Christian Index and other places. What was very significant about the meeting of delegates they did not shut their doors. Even the women were allowed to be present. Honored Their President Honored Their President The Ladies and Gents' Soiree Club is one of the staunchest organizations in the city and has among its members many well-known citizens. At its regular meeting last month the members showed their appreciation of their president, Mrs. S. T. Emery, by presenting her three pieces of beautiful silver. Mrs. Emery has been serving as president for fourteen years and is beloved by the members. She extends hearty appreciation to them for the gift. Second Baptist Church to Burn Mortgage PASTOR PREACHES FARE WELL SERVICE MARCH 31 $2232.00 Raised in the "Trip to Palestine" Rally—Pastor's Three and a Half Years Here Busy Ones—Church One of The Most Beautiful in City The "trip to Palestine" rally which the Rev. D. Augustine Reid began at the Second Baptist church in W. has been brought to a successful completion, bringing in funds to the amount of $2,232.00. This rally was one of the most unique ever held in this city and its progress was noted with much interest throughout the city. Rev. Reid's pastorate here has been brought with much worthy achievement and he has been generally recognized as one of the livest wires the local pulpit has had. His resignation of the pastorate of the Second Baptist church, which goes into effect the last Sunday in March, is much regretted by the progressive citizens of Sarannah. During Rev. Reid's stay here he has succeeded in rehabilitating the Second church, remodeled the building throughout at a cost of $8,000 and now has the church free of all indebtedness. In commemoration of being free from the heavy financial obligation under which the church was laboring on the arrival of Rev. Reid in this city, there will be a mortgage burning and free reunion banquet on Wednesday night, March 11. The other interesting services of next month are: Sunday, March 1st to Friday the 6th, thanksgiving reunion sermons and week of prayers; Sunday, March 8th. pastor's last communion with the church; Tuesday night, March 31st, pastor's farewell sermon. Rev. Reid goes from here to Galilee Baptist Church, Anniston, Ala. Deaths Rev. H. C. Hawk, a faithful minister of the A. M. E. Church, died in the Georgia Infirmary, last Sunday morning. His funeral services were conducted on Monday by Revs. R. H. Singleton, B. S. Hannah and G. P. Prescott. His remains were sent to Hawkinsville, Ga., for interment. He is survived by a widow and three children. The many friends of Mrs. Mae Lillian Goodwin, the wife of Mr. I. H. B. Goodwin, will regret to hear of her death on last Saturday February 14th, at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Goodwin was only sick in bed one week. She complained of being sick for two weeks but would not give up. Mrs. Goodwin was a devoted wife and a loving friend to everybody both white and colored. She was a dressmaker by trade. Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin had only been married five years. She leaves to mourn her death besides her husband two aunts, Mrs. Butler Johnson of this city, and Annie Carey of Florida who has not been as yet located, and a score of friends. Her funeral was held from the residence Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Daniel Wright, interment at Barnwell, S. O. Pallbearers were: Messrs. Chas. McGrath, H. D. Graham, J. Hunt, R. Butler, R. O. Johnson and Ragis Rannair. Mr Benj K. Browne died Friday of last week. The funeral took place from the residence of his sister, Miss Rosa L. Browne, East Anderson street, Sunday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. S. T. Redd, and attended by a number of the friends of the family. Mr. Browne was well known, and in his earlier life swayed much influence among his friends, he being a young man of much ability. He leaves a mother, two sisters, Miss Rosa L. Browne and Mrs. Wm. L. Cash, a brother Mr. E. D. Browne, a daughter and other relatives Mr. Lewis A. Gardeen, an old citizen died on Thursday morning. 17 Rev. D. Augustine Reid, of Second Baptist Church, who es to Anniston, Ala. Baker-Tillie Nuptials A wedding which attracted much interest was that of Miss Janie L. Tillie and Mr. Rufus Leon Baker, which occurred Wednesday evening at the home of the bride, 624 Gwinnett street, west, at 8 o'clock. Rev. Daniel Wright performed the ceremony which was witnessed by a large crowd of friends of the contracting parties. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and many useful and elegant presents were received by the couple. The bride was attended by Miss Sadie Green, and Mr. Earle Parks was best man. The bride is a graduate of Spell man Seminary and the groom is a graduate of the Georgia State College. Mr and Mrs. Baker left early next morning for about a week's stay in points in Florida, after which they will return to the city and reside at 624 Gwinnett street, west. Miller-Boon The marriage of Mrs. Perkins Miller to Mr. Floyd Boon of Waycross was a happy event at Gaines Chapel on Sunday night February 7th at 7 o'clock. The bride was formerly of this city but has been residing in Waycross about a year. Mr. and Mrs. Boon left Monday night for Hollesboro, N. C., where they will spend their honeymoon. St. Benedict's Church Our grand fair was a glorious event. Every member of our community ought to be proud of the wonderful results of the work of the last ten days during which St. Benedict's fair was held. We all pulled together as one man and when hundreds pull together in one direction the world must move. Many prominent white and colored visitors spent lovely hours at our fair and admired the beautiful articles exhibited and the great harmony and order and gaiety displayed all around. Our heartfelt thanks to all ladies and gentlemen who have contributed largely to the great success of the fair. We are thankful to the Knights of Pythias, to the members of the Imperial club and the Foxes to the Catholic Mutual Aid society, to the different music bands, to all who honored us by their presence during those ten days of enthusiastic and joyful recreation. The generous hearted people of Savannah have shown once more great favor and charity towards the work accomplished by the priests of St. Benedict's church. We hope to meet again on the fall for a three day Xmas sale, whose proceeds will be again for the remodeling of the schools and the erection of the new church. The many friends of Rev. J. A. Dahlent will be glad to hear that his church and school are in a very fine shape. Father Dahlent was unable to come down to Savannah to pay a call to his friends and to visit our grand fair but according to the latest news he will probably spend his Easter holy days in our city. Rev. A. Laube of Augusta was our guest for a couple of days during the fair. He was the donor of a beautiful electric dome which will be raffled for the benefit of the fair. NUMBER 23 second Baptist Church, who es ton, Ala. National Teachers Association Oposed SUCCESS OF THEIR CONVENTION SERIOUSLY THREATENED Investigating Committee Composed of Presidents Hope, Young and Reddick Finds Unanimous Opposition—Local Teachers Completely Ignored Throughout Fast and thick have come recent developments concerning the prospective convention of the National Teachers' Association in Colored Schools to be held in this city in July and the local teachers have shown unanimously that they are opposed to the coming of said convention. During the week a committee composed of President John Hope of Morehouse College, President N. B. Young of the A. and M. College, Tallahassee, Fla., and Principal M. W. Reddick of the Americus Institute, was in the city investigating conditions relative to the holding of the convention. The committee found out through a conference with Principals Butler, Gadsden and McIntosh of the public schools, which was held at the East Broad street school on Wed'sday after Normal class, that the local teachers would take no part whatever in the entertainment of the association on account of their opposition to the manner in which the invitation to the association was extended. It was developed at the conference that the impression was given the association that local teachers desired the convention held here, but it was brought out at the conference that even up to now no official recognition of them has been taken and there has been no endorsement by them. The committee found out in addition that a few white citizens, no doubt laboring under the impression that it was the vote of the colored citizens to hold the convention here, gave their endorsement to the convention. While it is not known what action the committee will take, if it is acting with authority, yet it is believed by those who have been consulted that they will recommend the holding of the convention elsewhere. Local Atlanta University Club Meets President Ware To-day The local Atlanta University club will hold an informal reception for President Edward Ware this (Saturday) afternoon at the First Congregational Church at 4 o'clock.

XN » - = ae eee CMH Gn OYSTERS IN VARIOUS WAYS. ASTERS are the most popular and among shellfish the most exten- sively eaten. They are also the most important of all cultivated water products and with the erception of the sea herring the most valuable of all aquatic animals. Some desirable ways of serving them are given here. Oysters aud Macaroni.—Take boiled macaroni:and raw oysters and place in alternate layers in a buttered bak- ing pan, seasoning each layer with salt, grated lemon rind and a bit of red pepper. Add a small cupful of cream, - cover top with breadcrumbs and bake . in a hot oven. Serve with celery and thin slices of buttered brown bread. For Special Occasions. Chaudfroid of Oysters.—Blanch twelve large oysters in thelr own liq- uor, drain them and remove the beards. Have ready some aspic mayonnaise, coat each oyster well with this and let them set on the ice on a wire tray. Stamp out some dot shapes of red pl- mento, place these in rings of ollves and set one in the center of each oys- ter. Mask with a little dissolved aspic and place them on little round croutes of fried or toasted bread. Serve and garnish with parsley sauce. These Are Digestible. Panned Oysters.—Toast thin slices of stale bread, butter and place in a shallow baking dish. Moisten with the liquor from the oysters and cover with raw oysters. Season with salt. pepper and small bits of batter. Cover with a tight id aud cook in a hot oven for seven or eight minutes or until they swell and the edges curl. They can also be panned in their own juice in a frying pan, seasoning with butter, pep- per and salt. Serve on toast. Cooked In Shells. Oysters and Mushrooms.—Take some scallop dishes, as many as there are persons to serve. Put a small piece of butter into a hot stewpan. Add the oysters when the butter melts, with an equal quantity of chopped mushrooms, a minced shallot, some chopped pars- ley, salt and pepper to taste. Let these cook over a brisk fire for a minute or two: then Gill the shells with the mix; ture. Put bits of batter here and there. Sprinkle with powdered cracker crumbs and brown the top with a red- hot poker or smal! shovel. iGGHEN Sond SUPBOARD Rez UL DUAR EAT RAISINS OFTEN, LUNCHEON MENU. Liver and Bacon. Baked Sweet Potatoes. Johnnycake. Apples Stuffed With Raisins. Cookies. Tea. MIE amount of nourishment in rasins and their delicate flavor commend them as frequent in- gredieuts in desserts. Some helpful hints along this line are given here. Nice For Breakfast. Apples Stuffed With Raisins.—Take Jorge. perfect Greening apples, pare and core. making the cavity in coring larger than usual. Prepare a stuffing of finely chopped, seeded raisins that have been thoroughly washed, a gen- erous lump of butter and a little salt. Stuff the apples very compactly and sprinkle over all some sugar. Tie each apple in # clean linen cloth like an English plum pudding and cook two hours in boiling water. Then serve immediately, when very hot. with thick hard sauce or cream sauce. Raisin Pie—Remove the seed froma pound of fine rafsins and stew them until tender in two cupfuls of water. Add to them a cupful of sugar and a tablespoonful of molasses, the juice of one sweet orange and half its grated rind, the jufce of one lemon and half its grated rind, two eggs beaten to a froth, a plece of butter the size of an egs and ® generous thickening of well drted bread crumbs. Flavor with cin- namon and ealt and‘bake in one or two crusts es preferred. When one crust is used, cover the top with meringue. Wholesome Puddings. Raisin Rice Pudding.—Boil tbe tice until tender. ‘Then take one and one- half cupfuls of the cooked rice, one quart milk, three eggs beaten light. four tablespoonfuls sugar, one tea- spoonfal vanilia and one cupful rais- ins, Put in a baking dish, grate a little nutmeg on top and bake until brown. Iaisin Bread Pudding.—Take a tublespoonful of sugar and half a tea- spoonful of salt and mix them in a pint of creamy milk—it is richer to have eream—and seald to the boiling point. Instantly remove from the fre and pour it over a heaping pint of bread crumbs. Add butter the size of an English walnut nd sct aside-in a covered dish for an hour. Then stir into the mixture a pound of raisins that have been placed in the oven for seven or eight minutes and become puffed and full, four stiffy beaten eggs. the juice of half a lemon and a little nutmeg.

Mrs. Whitney will now proceed with the work of preparing the statue. It ls anticipated that it will be erected In Potomac park, Washington.” Con- gress is expected to set aside a plot of ground there on which it may be put up. ‘The sketch, which was submitted In an invitation competition with seven other sculptors, shows the heroic figure of a man standing, with arms outstretched and head thrown back, as though eager for sacrifice. ~Sacri- Sce" is, in fact, the title. that Mrs. Whitney gave to the figure, From a distance the figure takes the form of 8 cross, ‘The sum of $45,000 has been secured through the efforts of the woman's Titanic memorial committee, which in- eludes hundreds of women prominent ‘throughout the country. | Mrs. Whitney, who was Miss Ger- trude Vanderbilt, began her art work very modestly, and at first never ex- bibited it under her name. Little by Uttle, as if encouraged by favor- able criticisms, she became more and more ambitious, entered public com- petitions and won prizes at exhibi- tions. Last spring in Paris a marble foun- tain of hers received the honor of a special installation in the salon. In the design three more than Hfe sized men held up the broad bowl from which the water gushed, and In addi- tlon to the real water there were palms and a grays inclosure to add to the parklike efect. ‘Chis fountain was for 2 courtyard tu a Washington building. In the Architectural league exbibl- ton of 1908 Mrs. Whitney, in associa- tion with Grosvenor Atterbury, arch!- tect, and Hugo Ballin, palnter, won the special prize for a work combin- ing the three arts. Mrs. Whitney's contribution to the design was a foun- tain. Another piece of work of Mrs. Whit ney familiar to New Yorkers is the great sculptural figures in the Hotel Belmont, the caryatids that support the ceiling in the entrance ball. She is also associated prominently in the group that fs desiznlng the sculp- tural embellishments for the San Fran- cisco fair. Her fountain, called “El Dorado,” is to stand in the court of honor at the exposition. Her studio on West Eighth street, New York, near the Macdougal alley studios, is being enlaryed and improv- ed In anticipation of ber return to this country, supposedly about April 1. She and Mr. Whitney are now abroad. THE GIRL WHO SUCCEEDS. She Is the One Who Puts Heart and Conscience Into Her Work. Jo" be a success in business a girl must be willing. An employer can_al- ways tell when his workers have his interests at heart. ‘Tbe business gir! may think that the strict attention she pays to the business at hand goes unnoticed, but it never does. Every business man can tell which of his employees arrives the earliest and leaves the latest. He knows which one doés the best work and which one is the most diligent. ‘The girl who must support herself should learn at the very start not to £0 Into business with the idea of doing the least amount of work possible for her sajary. but with the determination ‘to do the work allotted to her thor- otghly, ne matter how long it takes, and to be always ready for more. ‘This is the spirit which ‘wins out in the end. Another little word on this subject. The more a gicl dislikes her line of work the more conscientious she sbould be about doing It thoroughly. It Is easy to do work well and to give overtime to it when the work is congenial and enjoyable, but whén a girl longs to shirk at her business and finds it unpleasant, that Is just the time when she needs to buckle down to real labor. The mere exertion of forcing herself to accomplish ‘her du- ties well and thoroughly will eventuat- ly make the work more interesting aad therefore more pleasant. ; {FANN ee : wT Lt.

CUYLER “The Expert’ Horeeshoer;” Prop. Important—The only Expert horseshooiug shop in the city op- erated by a colored man. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD MUSHROOMS are a delicacy, yet a light nutrient. There are but few persons who do not relish them, but such fatal mistakes are made by gathers that many are disinclined to eat them, or at least do so with more or less reluctance. Mushrooms may be bought in the markets, or the dried ones are sold in the shops. Grilled Mushrooms.-Mushrooms for grilling must be of a large and even size. After having washed them and cut off the stalks, dip them in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then grill over a bright fire, turning them when done on one side. Arrange in a vegetable dish, the hollow side upward, then place in the center of each mushroom a very small pat of maitre d'hotel butter or parsley butter and serve hot. Mushrooms In Cases. Wipe and peel eight cup mushrooms, cut them into small dice and fry them with an ounce of butter in a saute pan. Butter some souffle cases, paper or china, lay a thin slice of lemon in each, three parts fill with prepared mushrooms and season to taste. Spread a layer of potted deviled meat mixed with a yolk of egg, over the mushrooms, brush over with melted butter and bake for fifteen minutes. A Dainty Way. Mushroom Croutes.—Take slices of stale white bread, stamp these out into rounds or oblongs with a fancy or plain cutter, fry them in butter to a golden color and drain. Have ready the required quantity of large button mushrooms, peeled, minus stalks and fried in butter; also a mixture of finely chopped beef and ham, moistened with a little rich brown sauce. When quite hot spread the meat mixture over the croutes, place a mushroom on each; season with salt, pepper, cayenne and a little lemon juice. Put them in a hot oven for a few minutes, dish up, garnish with fried parsley and serve. Served on Toast Mushroom With Eggs.—Peei and take the stalks from four or five mushrooms, wash and drain them, then cut them into small slices, place them in a stewpan with two ounces of butter and season well with salt and pepper and allow them to stew gently for twenty minutes. Break six eggs into a basin and beat them up thoroughly; add two tablespoonfuls of milk and pour the mixture over the mushrooms in the stewpan. Stir them gently with a spoon until the mixture is set. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD TURNIPS should be prepared in the following ways to make them popular in families that find turnips cooked in the ordinary ways insipid: Fried Turnips.—Pare and cut turnips in half inch slices, soak for twenty minutes in cold water. Drain and parboil them for twenty minutes, drain again and wipe dry. Salt, pepper and dip in corn, meal or flour and fry in bacon fat or other shortening. A Novel Way. Stewed Sugared Turnips.-Take turnips of equal size, put them into a saucepan with a lump of butter and fry till well browned. Sprinkle powdered sugar over them, season with a little salt, pour in about a teacupful of stock according to the number of turnips. Place the cover on the saucepan and let it simmer till they are tender. Serve on a hot dish Turnips With Tarragon S.—Take some turnips, scrape, wash and trim them and boll them. Then serve them with a sauce made as follows: Prepare half a cupful of melted butter sauce, using milk and no water; season it add a teaspoonful of finely minced dried tarragon and bring it to boiling point. Have ready the yolk of an egg beaten up with a large teaspoonful of lemon juice, stir this quickly into the sauce and remove it at once from the stove, and then add half a tablespoonful of fresh butter and pour the sauce over the turnips. Served With Boiled Meats. Turnips and Potatoes.—Take two good sized turnips, pare and cut into slices, drop into an uncovered vessel of boiling unsalted water and cook just below the boiling point until transparent. Have ready boiled the same bulk of Irish potatoes. Drain the turnip slices in a colander, let the potatoes dry off, then add them to the turnip and press both through into a hot dry dish. Add half a tablespoonful of butter, half a teaspoonful of salt, a dusting of white pepper and paprika. Beat until light, then add two tablespoonfuls of hot milk or four tablespoonfuls of reheated cream sauce or thick cream soup of any kind. Beat and pile in a small hot dish. Send at once to the table. Use a dish without a cover. Annas Thompson . HAPPY THOUGHTS Make for yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None o. us vet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thoughts, proof against all adversity, bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts.—Ruskin. Not as Bad as It Might Have Been. "Now that your boys have gone away to school and your daughters have got married I suppose you find it rather dismal around home, don't you. Mr Cadgerley?" "Well, it's not as bad as it might be. When I begin carving at dinner now I always know that it will be my turn to eat before everything is so cold that it is tasteless."—Chicago Record-Herald Hand to Mouth. "Are you getting accustomed to New York?" asked the talkative grocer. "By degrees," said the woman. "I think I like it a little better than I did at first. "But how did you know that we had just moved to town? I never told you." "No, you never told me, but the way you bought groceries did. You bought in such large quantities. This showed that you had just come from some place where people had plenty of store-room and so bought groceries by the box and barrel instead of by the pound. But I see you are getting used to keeping house on two kitchen shelves and are buying in driblets, like all New Yorkers."—New York Times. Got His Reward. Years ago a tradesman whose name is now a household word was employed in a modest capacity in a west end shop in London. While exhibiting some delicate ware to the very first customer he served he let it fall and break. The customer, a doctor, good naturedly took the blame and paid for the broken article. Years later the salesman, now a wealthy man, called on the doctor, reminded him of the incident and settled on him $5,000 a year for life.—London Express. The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Pauillac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony.—London Globe. Off and On. "Save when you're young." The speaker, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was addressing a Y. M. C. A. meeting in Cleveland. "Save when you're young," repeated Mr. Rockefeller, with a smile. "The years will pass swiftly. Then when you find yourself well on you'll also find yourself well off." St. Peter's In Rome St. Peter's is certainly the most amazing church in the world. It is not beautiful—I am, satisfied that no true artist would grant that—but after you have been all over Europe and have seen the various edifices of importance it still sticks in your mind as astounding—perhaps the most astounding of all.—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty." Giving Happiness. To make some nook of God's creation a little fruitfuler, better, more worthy of God, to make some human hearts a little wiser, manfuller, happier, more blessed, less accursed—it is a work for a God.—Carlyle. Witty Sayings. W. S. Gilbert said of Beerbohm Tree's Hamlet that it was "funny without being coarse." During an Englishman's lecture in New Haven the usher said to a late comer: "Please, sir, take your seat as quietly as possible. The audience is asleep." A Philadelphia woman said: "Of course, there will be no marriage in heaven. There will be plenty of women there and a few men, but none any one would care to marry." DO IT WELL. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Not giving your whole, undivided attention to the task in which you have invested your life and money means that you are wasting your own precious time and that of others. Whatever you do, do it with your whole heart and mind or get out and try something else. It takes pretty nearly all of a man's time to perfect an undertaking, provided it be a big and worthy one to begin with. Milady's Mirror Home Care of the Nails. A home manicuring outfit is a great convenience. It should contain two or three smooth, nicely polished sticks, a pair of small, curved, sharp pointed scissors, a couple of emery boards, a nailbrush (not too stiff), a slender, flexible file of hard steel; a box of any guaranteed nail polish, a soft buffer and a small bottle of peroxide of hydrogen, with a bit of lemon and a fine toilet pumice stone. A soap with olive oil in it will be found the best, and a jar of plain cold cream should be provided. If the nails have been neglected and seem clogged with dirt and grime fill them with cold cream, rubbing it in well; then with a piece of fine old linen remove the dirt from one set with the nails of the other hand, never with an instrument of steel. A little white vaseline should be on hand also, as it heals and helps to prevent brittleness. After the soaking rub in the vaseline well, then use the brush and clean suds, warm, but not hot. The nails are then ready for the careful looking over to rid them of any rugged bits of flesh clinging to the sides and base. The stick should be dipped into the peroxide and passed around the nails as well as under. This helps to whiten and cleanse them. If there are callous places use the toilet pumice with the soapy water, rinsing well afterward. Stains may require the juice of a lemon, but cold cream should be applied after to prevent the roughness that would otherwise be caused by the acid, and great care must be taken not to cut the skin around the base, or it will remain ragged, as it is really a "selvage." Filing Finger Nails. Before beginning the home manicuring the file, which should be a thin, flexible one, should be used. The nails are then in a condition to stand this, as after the soaking they will be too soft. They should never be allowed to grow too far beyond the tip of the finger. Long, pointed nails are entirely out of style, if they were ever in. as a woman does not want the talons of the Chinaman at the ends of her pretty fingers. So, in the filing, rub them down to pass just a trifle beyond the finger itself, rounding them nicely, and do not file the sides down too closely, as the natural support is then withdrawn, and this causes hangnails. Often a nail will persistently break or show a flaw in the same place for years. As the new nail grows the split or crack seems to come naturally, and the only cure is to watch that nail, using the emery board to smooth off the first sign of the flaw. Ridged Nails. The little emery boards should be used daily to remove any roughened edges from the nails, and it is advisable to use these every day instead of the steel file. Where the nails are scaly and ridged it shows an excess of acid in the blood. Those afflicted with rheumatism often find their nails ridged as they grow and the ends will break off in fine scales. Some treatment for the disease itself should be used, and, in addition, a small piece of wash leather, dipped into powdered pumice stone, will make the nails fairly smooth, but there should also be used a little thick gelatin. Dip each nail in this at night, wrap the fingers separately in old linen and let it remain all night. Dip each into warm water next morning. This helps greatly in preventing and curing the scaliness. Simple Nail Powder. A good nail powder is made of a quarter ounce of talcum powder, boric acid and starch, also powdered very fine. Add a few drops of carmine tincture. Mix the powders and add the tincture. Pass the whole through a fine sieve three times, forcing out all lumps. Coat the nails with a very small bit, rubbing it in well with the fingers; then use the buffer lightly. If too much is applied it should be rinsed off, the nails carefully wiped dry and then the buffer used, finishing by rubbing the nails of one hand on the palm of the other, a natural polisher. Too Much Manicuring. When the finger nails are constantly breaking and seem soft and brittle there is either something wrong in the general health or they are improperly cared for. Many women in the effort to have nice nails scrub and file and polish all the health out of them, making them frail and too thin. Usually too much manicuring does the harm, so it is just as well to let them alone once, in awhile, permitting them to thicken and harden, so they will stand the ordinary wear and tear of daily use. White Spots on Nails. When white spots on the nails they show a hard condition, although the cause may called, and they also denote a nervous condition of the system a half ounce of myrrh and refined patch and spread over the nails at night, wearing glove fingers. In the morning apply olive oil to remove this, and use almond meal in place of soap for the hands. TRY TO BE CHEERFUL Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be developed and increased, and whoever omits its culture neglects an important duty to himself and to society. The fact that few men can do their best work or think their best thoughts unless a cheerful spirit animates them should be sufficient reason for setting in motion every cause which produces such a spirit. Tiny Goust. The republic of Goust is a square mile in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been recognized by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 150 weavers. They are ruled by a council of elders and pay no taxes or duties of any sort. This civic unit is so tiny that it has to go abroad for its cure of souls and body, for it has neither physician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Laruns, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie. The coffins being slid downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Same. Just as the family was about to sit down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom side up. Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate."—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Soup Discovery of Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it reelected its host to the municipal chair nine times running.—London Chronicle. Restaurant Affiliation The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men who had just entered. "Bring me a coffee cake and a cup of coffee," ordered the first man. "I'll take some milk biscuit and a glass of milk," said the second. "Tea buns and a cup of tea, please," remarked the third. "A piece of cocoanut pie and a cup of cocoa," said the fourth. The waiter went to the fifth man. "I know what you want," he said. "You want a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of chocolate." "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water."—Judge. Stevenson Carried His Tall Hat. Sir Sidney Colvin, in a lecture on "Personal Reminiscences of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any affectation. R. L. S.," said Sir Sidney, "did once possess a frock coat and tall hat, which he acquired for the purposes of a wedding. Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat, and thus we walked down Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's 'Samson Agonistes.'"—London Globe. Illusions. A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to study the laws of evidence. The majority of persons see what they think they ought to see. If a house is reported haunted it is easier to see a ghost there than not. Possibly this accounts for the widespread belief that luminous appearances of one kind or another accompany earthquake shocks. Scientific men do not believe these stories, and they usually dwindle on investigation, yet they continue to circulate on both sides of the Atlantic, says a writer in Cosmos, Paris, translated for the Literary Digest. Memory. Dear as remembered kisses after death. All our sensations are memory, some say. It may be. It may not be. But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend is a composite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots and sap of us.—Kansas City Star. PICTURE FRAMES We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

We believe that it is Abraham Lincoln to whom is attributed the saying: "you can fool some of the people all the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time; but you cannot fool all the people all the time." So self-evident is the truth of the foregoing, until one would think that it was a universally accepted maxim. Yet such is not the case, and there seems to be even among us certain ones who feel that they can still wear their bluffs in disguise. When it comes to down-right effrontery, a brazen disregard and wanton abandonment of all respect for the scrutiny and good common sense of ones' fellow men, we know of no instance more illus trative of the same than the carnival recently pulled off at the Georgia State Industrial College, where games of chance, penny wheels, knock the baby down game and the like were in galore, but which, when visitors of authority appeared upon the scene, turned out to be only a county fair in the interest of agricultural improvement. O. University extension work? What a strange garb thou now wearest? We wondor can the people be fooled all the time. No, we believe not for when our boys and girls who are most unsuspecting, begin to be able to discern between the actual happenings at the school and the write ups generally given the daily press concerning them, we believe, that sooner or later the veil will be lifted to the gaze of all. Georgia, the south and entire nation suffered an irreparable loss a few days ago when Senator A. O. Bacon, the senior senator from our state, breathed his last in his apartments at the Capital City. The death of the senator, unexpected as it was, came as a distinct shock to all who knew him. Through many years he served his state as one of its representatives in the upper house of Congress. Wherever Senator Bacon was known, he was loved. Mild-mannered to a point, gentlemanly in his bearing and patient in the exercise of the duties of the offices to which the people elected him, he was always able to bear his impress upon those with whom he came in contact. He was truly conservative in matters of the state. Yet it could not be said that he was an obstructionist. On the other hand, he was ever ready and willing to give impetus or strength to any movement or cause that gave promise of making more emphatic the rights of the people. The colored citizens of the State of Georgia feel that in the death of Senator Bacon, they have lost, if not an aggressive, at least a silent friend and sympathizer. Altogether unlike many of the present day statesmen of mush-room growth, Senator Bacon did not have to resort to demagogy or Negro vituperation in order to gain and hold his place among the gifts of the nation. Now that his death brings a vacancy in the senatorship of the state, we trust that Governor Slaton in making an appointment for the short term will select a man who has none of the demagogic make up of which so many of our public men are possessed now-a-days. That every road has its turn, is indicated by the strong position which the teachers of Savannah have taken against the prospective convention of the National Teachers' Association in Colored Schools scheduled to be held in our city in July. As has been told in our columns, the association has been invited to convene here at the instance of a single individual, Prof. R. R. Wright. Contrary to all ethical propriety this invitation has been extended them. The local teachers who would be the legitimate hosts of any convention of their fellow workers, have been completely ignored. On this, as on other occasions, this would-be spokesman, Prof. Wright, of the thoughts and disposition of the people of Savannah showed his utter contempt and disregard of their wishes They have been misrepresented. The National Teachers' Association has been made to understand that the Savannah teachers had been consulted anent their coming and had given their consent for the extending of an invitation to them. What a travesty upon the true position of the local teachers! What an imposition upon the rights which they so justly deserve and which they rightly reserve to themselves! Thanks to our stars, the manhood and womanhood of the pedagogues of Savannah no longer trail in the dust To a man the teachers have shown a just resentment to such treatment. During the present week, they have shown to a committee, whose authority they seriously questioned, that Prof. Wright and no other man can longer participate in their complete ignorence. Acting as a spokesman of the local teachers' association, the three principals of the public schools have given the representatives of Prof. Wright, in no unmistakable terms, to understand that 'if the National Teachers' Association does convene in Savannah, it will be hands off completely so far as they are concern. This is as it should be and deserves the commendation of all of us who have one vestige of respect and admiration for one who reserves to himself the right to have a voice as to who shall come within his domicile. We believe that the citizens of Savannah will give their undivided support to this commendable position of our teachers and should the convention come in the face of this unanimous opposition, as much as it will be regretted, we believe that there will be a presence of a total indifference on the part of the Savannah's respectable colored citizens to its reception and entertainment. The National Sentiment Moulding Bureau There has been organized in this city what is known as the National Sentiment Moulding Bureau which is to seek to shape the thought of the Negroes toward each other, and the ideas of the white people toward the Negro. The organization recognizes public opinion as the great governing force of the age and directs its efforts toward shaping it in favor of the Negro. It proceeds upon the principle that laws however good will prove ineffective unless backed by a wholesome public sentiment in their favor. Local Sentiment Moulding Bureau are to be formed in all the cities and towns having any considerable number of Negroes as residents. The chief method of this organization will be the dissemination of appropriate literature designed to bring about the correct attitude on the part of the public. The state of the public mind toward the Negroes of all communities will be considered and literature will be furnished for local problems Unjust disfranchisement, segregation, lynchings and Negro education are a few of the many questions to be considered. The National Sentiment Moulding Bureau consists of a board of twenty-five who are to elect two advisers from each state. The officers of the Bureau are as follows: President, Rev. J. D. Chavis, Memphis, Teenn., pastor Centenys M: E church, ex-president of Bennet College; Vice president, Rev. P. J. Seary, D. D. Memphis, Teenn., pastor Metropolitan Baptist church, chairman National Baptist Educational Board; Secretary, R. L. Flagg, Memphis, Penn; Treasurer, Rev. J. J. Scott Memphis Tenn., president Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company; National Organizer, Sutton E. Griggs, corresponding secretary National Baptist Educational Board Constitutions for local Bureaus furnished free upon application to the National Sentiment Moulding Bureau, 659 No. Lauderdale street, Memphis, Tenn. Pine Tribute to Negro Heroes A remarkable editorial appeared in a recent issue of the Ashville, V. C. Citizen, one of the leading white daily papers of the South, praising in the highest terms the heroism of the Colored members of the crew of the ill fated steamer Monroe and quoting expressions of commendation from white survivors. The Editorial-follows: NEGRO HEROES In all the glowing tributes paid to the heroes who figured in the latest tragedy of the sea—the sink ing of the Dominion line steamer Monroe, practically nothing has been said of the Negro members of the crew of the ill-fated steamer. Yet according to the uttered testimony of the white survivors most of the colored crew went down to watery graves without murmur or protest striving to the last to render aid and give encouragement to the panic-stricken white passengers. We do not have to take the printed line for the proof of the remarkable courage of the Monroes' Negroes at a time which would try the souls of men of sterner mould; the testimony of their heroism is found in the fulsome tributes of the white survivor and among these we find the following statement from Clarence H. Davids, of New York who was pulled out of the water when he was about to abandon all hope of rescue: He says: STOICAL COURAGE "I want to say right here that I have seen many brave men in my days, but never in my life have I seen such stoical courage and heroic unselfishness as these black men showed. They were utterly unconcerned about themselves; they went about the white men and women offering encouragement and giving out life belts until they gave out the last, having none for themselves. Then they sat on the deck, fifteen or twenty of them smiling and unafraid, waiting for certain death. I heard one say, "I hope all the ladies and children are safe; I am glad my little kid is not here." The fortitude of these men will remain in my mind until I die." Another passenger, Mrs. Cooper, of Bridgenampton, L. I, who says that she was saved by one of the Negroes who threw a life preserver over her head says: In all my life I shall never forget the manner in which those Colored boys acted. If a black man is not as good as a white man God knows there was nothing to show it on that dreadful night. Right on the threshhold of death those black boys stood like soldiers who rush into the mouths of belching cannons. One of the last things that I saw before the Monroe went down was a group of twenty or more Negroes whose halfnaked bodies glistened in the rays of the searchlight, shouting encouragement and throwing planks of wood to struggling passengers in the water. I may be mistaken but it seems to me that I heard these Negroes singing a hymn just before the ship was turning over. But whether they were singing or not I know they were not afraid, and that they did as much as any white man would have done to help in the rescue of the Monroe passengers. GAVE BELT TO WHITE WOMAN WENT COOLY TO WATERY GRAVE If any additional proof were needed Captain Johnson, of the Monroe makes special mention of the bravery of his Negroes who ran about the ship, he says, carrying life preservers and urging the passengers to get to the upper decks where the life boats were. Captain Johnson says that he saw one Negro about to jump into the sea, with a life belt on, when a white woman came screaming from below. Without a word the Negro took off his belt, placed it on the woman and then went to the after part of the deck and sat down. Captain Johnson says that if such a deed was not that of a hero, and a great hero, he does not know what heroism is. The Negro was lost but the woman was saved. WHITE EDITOR It must be, after all, that when the Almighty endowed the Negro with a black skin, he gave him a white soul and also equipped him with many of the finer traits found in the white race. It is reasonable to presume that death has fully as much terror for the Negro as it has the white man. Surely heroism and humanity know no devising line of race. Some twenty Negroes who sacrificed their lives to save those of the Monroe's passengers lie at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, and somehow we feel that when the final roll is called they will not be barred from the ranks of the elect because their skins are black.— Norfolk Journal and Guide.

Coon Songs The songs of the South that give to all the Southland an element of human pathos and sentiment, are the plantation melodies and hymns, that have come down to us from those days of slavery. These songs have been recognized throughout the world as rich in melody and power. Yet there is danger of our losing this heritage of music which is regarded as worthy of preservation and as a typical American contribution to the world's treasuries of songs. The music of the Negroes has been exploited for the profit of theater managers and minstrel companies and the original beauty of these songs has been almost forgotten. The writer was acquainted with the music of the colored people of Southside, Virginia, thirty-five years ago and now recalls the fervor and marvelous expression with which the old people sang "On My Journey Home," "When I Can Read My Title Clear," "Bun a Listening" and many others. But a generation has arisen which does not know these songs. The young colored people of our day cannot sing them and do not appreciate them. It seems to me a pity that the young colored people patronize the minstrel shows which merely burlesque the sacred songs of the old days. What are known as "coon songs" are written by men who have no sympathy for the efforts of the colored men to make progress or with the effort to preserve the sacred traditions of the race. These "coon songs" are written for commercial purposes and have a serious prejudice effect upon the uplift of the colored people. If the young men would form classes for learning the old plantation songs from the old people who are passing off the stage, they would perform a work of lasting benefit to the colored race and to mankind in general. They should study to give the dialect and expression of the songs in their original character and simplicity. A spirit of genuine patriotism and noble race pride calls upon intelligent men to preserve these true songs of human interest and to repudiate those spurious songs which only burlesque the true.—J O.

Mrs. Whitney will now proceed with the work of preparing the statue. It le anticlpated that it will be erected in Potomac park, Washington. Con- gress Is expected to set aside a plot (of ground there. on which it may be put up. The sketch, which was submitted In an invitation competition with seven other sculptors, shows the hervic Ggure of a man, standing, with arms outstretched and head thrown back, as though eager for sacrifice. “Sacri- fice” is, in fact, the title that Mrs. Whitney gave to the figure. From a distance the figure takes the form of 2 cross. ‘The sum of $45,000 has-been secured through the efforts of the woman's Titanle memorsal committee, which in- cludes hundreds of women prominent throughout the country. ‘Mrs. Whitney, who was Miss Ger- trude Vanderbilt, began her art work very modestly, and at first never er- hibited it under her name. Little by little, as” if encouraged by favor- able criticisms, she became more and more ambitious, entered publte com- petitions and won prizes at exbibl- tions, Last spring In Paris a marble foun- tain of hers received the bonor of a special installution in the salon.

Another plece of work of Mrs, Whit- ney familiay to New Yorkers is the great sculptural figures In the Hotel Belmont, the caryatids that support the celling in the entrance hall. She Is also associated prominently in the group that is desicning the sculp- ‘tural embellishments for the San Fran- cieco fair.

An employer can al- ‘ways tell when his workers have bis interests at heart. The business girl may think that the strict attention she pays to the business at band goes unnoticed, but it never does. Every business man can tell which of bis employees arrives the earliest and leaves the {itest. He knows which one does the best work and which one is the most diligent. ‘The girl*who wust support herself should learn at the very start not to £0 Into business with the idea of doing the least amount of work possible for her salary, but with the determination to do the work allotted to her thor- onghly. no matter how Jong it takes, and to be always ready for more. ‘This fs the spirit which wins out in the end. / Another little word on this subject. The more a girl dislikes her line of work the more conscientious she should be about doing {t thoroughly. It Is easy to do work well and to give overtime to it when the work is congenial and enjoyable, but when a girl longs to shirk at her business and finds §t mmpleasant, that Is just the time when she needs to buckle down to real labor. The mere exertion of forcing herself to accomplish her du- ties well and thoroughly will eventual- ly make the work more interesting and therefere more pleasant. fo eppennre ger A aT - a es ae TT eT The Wage Farners Loan — and Investment Co mpany Will pay Interest. in its Savings De- partment at the rate of . 6 Per Cent | ‘on Sums of $100. 00 or more, when ‘left for the period | of One Year. | Interest payable ‘quarterly at the rate of ~ 5 Per Gent on deposits pay~ able upon. dé- mand : .

THE VALENTINE DANCE. Clever Touches That Will Make It s ‘+ Social Success. ‘There are so many novel social af fairs that suggest themselves for St Valentine’s day that it is difficult to choose, Of course the heart is the symbol of the day and is grouped with Dan Cupid. Invitations engraved or written upon heart shaped cards are sent to the guests. Decorate the room with hearts ent from red cardboard and suspendeu! from ribbons, making a “shower ,»t hearts" to be danced under. A pretty touch could ‘be given to the affalr if the girls would wear white dance frocks and trim them with hearts cut from red crape paper. A flounce or fringe of hearts would be most attractive.

If there are more to be invited have two of each kind, with the’ exception of the King. queen and knave. ‘The table decorations may be effec tively carried out with hearts. Have a fringe ot hearts falling from the edge of the table. A chain of “bearts arranged in fes- toons would be very pretty. Candle shades ef hearts and a floral center- piece of red roses or carnations in a heart desizn complete the effect. Cupid’s darts could be substituted for the hearts fn the decorations.

If you were to stop killing the insects that prey on the wheat and the corn man would speedily perish of starvation.” ‘The quai! thanked him civilly for his advice. “However, if you don’t mind,” said she, “I think I prefer to go on do- ing what is so evidently my duty, let others do as they may.”—Farm and Fireside.

Since “covetous ness is idolatry" (Col. Ill, 5), how much we need the words, “Having food and raiment, let us be therewith content,” “rust not in uncertain riches, but in the Living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy” (I Tim. vi, 6-8, 17). How aptly and foreitily our Lord set forth the truth in the parable of the rich poor man who could only talk with bimself about the smallness: of his barns and the abundance of his fruits and bis goods, «nd if he bad larger barns what an easy, merry time he might have for many years to come. He seemed to have no thought of God. who had caused his ground to bring forth plentifully, nor of the poor, with whom he might share his goods. There was no one to be considered but him- self. He inew nothing of the love of God and therefore had no love for God nor for his fellow men, “But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee” (verse 20). Now what were barns and fruits and goods to him? He had to leave all and went out of the world<poor indeed, like the rich man of Luke xvi, 19-26. How often we read of one who died at bis desic in te office or sitting in bis home or taken by an accident, and the words come to mind, “Thy eoul is required of thee.” and the great question is, Was he saved? and then, Was he rich toward God? It is possi- ble to be saved as by fire and bave no rewards for service, no crowns to cast at His fect (I Cor. iil, 11-15; Rey. tv, 10). | A true believer may still be so blind- | ed by the god of this world as to fail to see the advantage of treasure in heaven and so lay up treasure for himself in this world which must all be left behind‘ when he is called out of the world. From verse 22 He speaks to His disciples, truly saved men, all but Judas Iscariot (John sifl, 10, 11). and teaches them that since they are now children of God there is no room for anxiety about food or raiment. The kingdom is made sure to them (verse 32), and if they will now live to hasten its coming by living only unto God and winning souls to Him He will sco that all things necessary for this‘life are given to them. The teaching of -verse 31 and Matt. ri, 33, is not that of seeking our souls’ salvation, for the words were spoken to saved men, but it teaches saved people that as’ suck their first aim in life should be the coming of the king- dom for which we pray when we say from the heart, “Our Father, who art in heaven. * *'* Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as in heav- en.” ‘There is no use talking of ex- tending the kingdom, for there is no Kingdom to extend. It was at hand when our Lord was here, in their very midst in the person of Himself, the King, but when they cried “We bare no king but Caesar” and killed their Messiah they caused the kingdom to be postponed till He sball come again. See carefully Luke six, 11-15; Matt xiii, 39; Acts fii, 20, 21. We are in the age between the postponement of the kingdom and its coming at the sec- ond coming of Christ, the mystery hid in God from the beginning of the world, but specially revealed to Paul (Eph. iii, 9-11; Rom. xvi, 25-27).

The gown illustrated here is one of the most useful of spring models, for it incorporates many style hints that the wise woman would do well to note. The sleeves are set low on the shoulder, but so adjusted as to have a comfortable fullness at the elbow. The skirt has a moderate fullness, which is caught in at the side with three fancy buttons. Plaid is very prominent in its decoration. This use of plaid is one of the touches which Paris is now imparting to many smart gowns and wishes to make the fashion. Plaids will be exploited more and more as the season advances. This gown was carried out in blue taffeta with plaid silk in harmonious colors. Paris says checks are returning to favor and plaids continue to meet the approval of smartly gowned women who need at least one such simple and practical dress as they afford. Bright buttons, a bit of contrasted trimming material or scarcely more than a frill or vestee gives the style accent. Designers are offering attractive plain models for misses and young women, with novel features to distinguish them from the style of early winter. Travelers' Coat Hanger. A convenience for travelers may be made as follows: Buy two nickel towel rack rods, with the screws, a screwdriver and gimlet. Roll together in paper and place in the trunk when starting on a journey to supply the often felt need of proper hanging conveniences. Adjust your rod at such a distance from the back of the wardrobe that you can slip coat arms over it and give them space to hang in a straight row. When leaving unscrew the rods and take them with you. When this has once been tried it will always be the traveling companion and one that never indulges in moods or whims. Gay Bed Covers. Pretty and useful covers for beds can be made of cretonne or heavy chintz to be used instead of the time honored counterpane. The covers are to be cut at the corners so they will fit and lie flat and may be finished off with lace or wash edging. Use the same material elsewhere in the room-on dresser, table, cushions, even to the curtains. Be sure to choose a well covered though dainty design. Every one knows how ungainly a mattress is to handle. This difficulty can be overcome by sewing two loops on each side of the mattress to use as handles when turning or lifting it from one place to another. New Glass Rolling Pin. For some time the glass rolling pin which is filled with ice and which has wooden handles has been on the market, but the new glass rolling pin is made entirely of heavy crystal glass, handles and all. It has therefore no cracks or crevices to absorb either paste or water and by actual test was cleaned in five seconds. It is very light and so rolls easily, and if desired it can be placed in a refrigerator to have it extra cold before using. It has proved one of the most worth while of the season's household novelties and can be recommended to those housekeepers who are contemplating buying a new rolling pin. An Emergency Hint. To bake large potatoes quickly place in boiling water and boil until tender, then wipe dry and place in the oven until done. Usually about twenty minutes will provide them ready for the table. Bake very large potatoes until done but not very soft, the day before wanted. At breakfast peel, slice in even slices and fry to crisp brown spiraling with salt or sugar, as preferred. How to Make a Valentine Told In _Tuneful Rime. 3 Photo by American Press Association. Get a white card and a pot of glue. From a candy box take the paper lace. Hunt tissue paper of pink or blue And paste all carefully into place. Cut out some doves from an old scrap book. BOOK And other pictures of flowers or trees. (You'll find all these if you care to look, And any of them is sure to please.) Keep all these pretty things neat and clean dove— Such as "I'll be yours if you'll be mine!" Do all of this with a great deal of love. And then you will make a valentine. Lincoln and the Boy. One morning two senators entered President Lincoln's private office. With them slipped in a lad who had been waiting a long time for admission to the presence of this great man. The president briefly greeted the two senators; then, turning to the boy, said kindly. "And who is this little boy?" The child answered: "My mother is poor, sir, and I'm looking for work. I thought you might let me be a page in the house." "Very good, son," answered the president, "but you'll have to see the door-keeper of the house at the capitol." "But, sir," said the lad, "I am a good boy and have a letter from my mother and from my Sunday school superintendent and my teacher." The president took the lad's papers, ran his eye over them and then wrote upon the back of one of them: If Captain Goodnow can give a place to this good little boy I shall be gratified. A. LINCOLN. Do you think the boy got the job? Lincoln's Kind Heart. The following story shows what a kind and noble man President Lincoln was: One cold winter day Lincoln met a poor man who had been hired to chop up an old hut into firewood. The poor fellow was barefoot, thinly clothed and shivering from the cold, and he was so weak that he could hardly raise the ax. Lincoln stopped the man in his work and said, "How much are you getting for this job?" "A dollar," said the woodchopper, "and with it I must myself a pair of shoes." "You go inside and warm yourself for a few minutes," said Lincoln as he took the ax from the woodchopper. Then he swung the ax mightily and soon had the old hut split up into kindlings. He had done it so quickly that the man could hardly believe his eyes. The poor woodchopper received his money and bought his shoes. St. Valentine's Day. One authority says that the custom of sending paper valentines is quite modern, dating back a little over 100 years. For centuries before that a valentine was not a dainty bit of colored or embossed paper. A valentine was a person. We see a relic of this meaning in the words still so often found on these dainty missives, such as "Be my valentine." From the early Roman down to quite modern times it was the custom of the maidens of a village or social circle on the 14th or 15th of February to write their names on bits of paper and drop them into a box; then the youths, blindfolded, would each draw a name from the box, and the one whose name a young man drew was bound to be his valentine for one year. It was a kind of mock engagement, which, it may be supposed, quite often ended in a real one, for the young man was bound by custom to be somewhat attentive to his valentine during the year.

Baked Striped Bass With Maitre d'Hotel Sauce. Parisian Potatoes. Baked Salsify. Bavarlian Cream. Coffee. SOME nice ways for cooking side dishes for the dinner table are the following: Baked Salsify.—Scrape and wash cut in small pieces sufficient and put it into a basin of cold containing lemon juice or Drain and plunge into boiling with a little salt. Cook up Make a white sauce. Put the drained salsif on a buttered dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs and small bits Bake brown. A Welsh Dainty Leek Souffles.—Take one ounce of flour, butter and ham, one pint w. stock, a gill of milk and cream, a small onion stuck with a clove, six peppercorns, three whites of eggs, one half pint well reduced leek puree, a pinch of paprika pepper and salt, souffle cases. Melt the butter, mix the flour with it and let it cook without coloring. Boil up the stock with the onion and peppercorns and let it reduce to half its original quantity, which would be a gill. Boil up milk and cream together, add to the roux and strain in the stock carefully; cut the ham into small pieces and add also. Stir the sauce well until it boils and let simmer until it is well reduced; rub through a fine sieve (take out the ham). add the leek puree, whisk the whites of eggs to a stiff froth and add to the mixture with the seasoning. When the former is sufficiently cool fill up three parts full some-souffle cases and bake in a moderate oven. A Delicious Dish. Masked Turnips au Gratin.—Two pounds young turnips, one gill Bechamel sauce, one-half pint rich stock, salt, pepper and nutmeg, three ounces butter, one-quarter ounce flour, one medium sized onion and breadcrumbs. Wash, peel and slice the turnips, put them into cold water with a little salt. Peel and blanch the onion, chop it finely, then cook for ten minutes in an ounce of butter; add the turnips, previously drained. Stir the whole over a slow fire for about fifteen minutes. Melt an ounce of butter, add the flour and cook a little without browning, molsten with the stock and let it boll up while stirring, cook for ten minutes. Now add the turnips to the thickened stock and let simmer for about half an hour. Pass all through a sieve, season to taste with a pinch o' sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg, arrange in a pile on a gratin dish, mask with white sauce, sprinkle with bread-crumbs and divide the remainder of the butter into little bits on the top. Bake and serve immediately. Anna Thompson. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD HALIBUT is one of the most reliable fishes which the housewife finds in the market. It can be bought fresh at almost all seasons, is almost generally liked and makes a substantial dish at moderate cost. Some bints for using it are collected here. Fillet of Halibut.—Take sliced hallbut and cut from the bone; roll each of the pieces into shape and fasten with wooden pick until cooked; brush each piece with lemon juice to which have been added salt, pepper and onion juice. Stews fifteen to twenty, minutes and serve with hollandaise sauce. This Will Be Relished. Halibut With Oysters.—Take halibut steak, broil and sprinkle with lemon juice. Heat oysters in butter until they curl, season with salt and pepper and pour over the fish. Garnish with parsley or watercress. Stuffed Halibut Steak.—Take out the bone in each steak and fill the cavity with a breadcrumb stuffing, such as is used for chicken. Spread a layer of stuffing over the fish. Dot with bits of butter, season nicely and bake. Piquantly Flavored. Tomato Hallbut—Take a one and one-half pound slice of hallbut and wipe with a piece of cheese cloth wrung out of cold water. Put in a dripping pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Take a half pint of tomato pulp and pour over top of fish, then cut a green pepper with seeds removed over top of tomatoes. Bake in a hot oven half an hour, basting with one-third of a cupful of butter. Baked Halibut Steaks.—Trim hall but steaks, lay them in a roasting pan and to each two pounds use a cupful of cream or milk, one teaspoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of salt and saltspoonful of pepper. Add the seasoning and dot with butter, then pour over it the cream and bake fifteen minutes in a quick oven. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon. Anna Thompson. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or idle, but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreliser "A Traveler at Forty." A Famous Old English Church The Church of St. Botolph in Boston, England, is a long, low, decorated building, with a high perpendicular tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern, locally known as Boston Stump. The tower is 300 feet high. The light, and spacious interior has very lofty arches resting on slender pillars. The church is said to have as many doors as days in the week, as many windows as weeks in the year, as many pillars as months in the year and as many steps up to its tower as days in the year. But He Didn't Go, Even Then. "I wish I could read your thoughts," he said. "So do I," she replied, with a half stifled yawn. "It's so unpleasant sometimes to have to say what one thinks."—Cincago Record-Herald.

As She Is Wrote In England A correspondent sends to the British Weekly a rare bit of English. It was written by a woman in excusing her tardiness in answering an inquiry that had been addressed to her: "I would have written before, but I have been slick with a dog bite on the arm. The man that owns the sawmills' dog bit me in the road." The excuse was accepted as sufficient. Alabama's Iron Ores The boom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., in 1882, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampedes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good coking coal and of the limestone requisite for fluxing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut.

At night he read for the lesson Matt. 11:1-138. His text was from Luke li:l. The subject was “Prayer.” He preached a very spirited ser- mon using many beautiful illus- trations, especially the prayerthat ‘was made by Daniel in the lion’s den. Rev. J. R. Maxwell, field missionary of the Perean Associa- tion, was present and lined a hymn. Do not forget the B. Y. P. U., nor the Sunday school. BetheEden Baptist Church _ tis very pleasing to watch the rapid growth in attendance at each service since the approach of the year; which goes to show that our members’ word stands for something. Not only has the attendance increased preatly un- der the leadership of our pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, but we have ‘been successful in greatly increas- ing our finuncial standard; and in just a very short time will be able to completely wipe away the ‘debt now standing. The pastor is to be commended for the splendid work he is doing. There is quite a lively interest awakened among the members of the “lookout committee,” which is divided in- ‘to four parts, each having aspecial work to perform. This commit- tee promises within the next few months to make it hard to get standing room in the church.
