No other country possesses so many scriptural place names as England, and among these Jericho appears to be the most popular. The name of Jericho figures six times on the ordnance maps, Paradise five times and Nineveh, Mount Zion, Mount Ararat and Mount Ephraim three times each. In Bedfordshire there is a Calvary Wood and in Dorsetshire a Jordan Hill, Hampshire has a Land of Nod, Cambridgeshire a Noah's Ark and Worcestershire a Meab's Wash Pot. Other Scriptural names scattered about the country are Hebron, Joppa, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Glideon and Herod—London Chronicle. TEMPTATION Temptation is a fearful word. It indicates the beginning of a possible series of infinite evils. It is the tinging of an alarm bell whose melancholy sounds may reverberate through eternity. Like the sudden sharp cry of "Fire!" under our windows by night, it should rouse us to instantaneous action and brace every muscle to its highest tension. — Horace Marsa.

If you were to stop killing the insects that prey on the wheat and the corn man would hopefully parish of starvation." The quail thanked him civilly for his advice. "However, if you don't mind," said she, "I think I prefer to go on doing what is so evidently my duty, let them do as they may."—Farn and Sardinia. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XI.—First Quarter, For March 15, 1914. Text of the Lossen, Luke xilv 10-17; xiv, 1-6—Memory Verse, 3-5—Golden Text. Mark ii, 27—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Both of the portions assigned for today are Sabbath day incidents. In the first He healed a woman in the synagogue who had been afflicted eighteen years, and in the second He healed a man who had the Grepy in the house of one of the child Pharaohs. The ruler of the synagogue was indignant because the woman had been healed on the Sabbath day, for the day was more to them than the Lord who gave them the day, and they had not learned that the one in their midst was the Lord even of the Sabbath day, greater than the temple, and that it was lawful to do well on the Sabbath day (Matt. ii, 6-9, 12). She into Dr. Westen of Covenant seminary mays, in his notes on Matthew, that the immediate occasion of the determination by the Jewish rulers to put Christ to death was His relation to the Sabbath. Christ claimed that the Jewish nation were His people; that as Son of Man He was greater than their greatest king, greater than the temple, greater than the sacrifices, greater than the Sabbath; that all these were ordained for the sake of redemption, that God might through them show mercy; that His object was to give, not to receive, and that necessarily the Redeemer was greater than all the means of redemption. The Jewish Sabbath was the one peculiar and distinctive ordinance of the nation. It was the Jewish national flag. If the nation is to be deprived of its distinction from other nations, what is the use of being God's people? Pride, self righteousness, arrogance, had taken possession of them. Incarnate love was in their midst doing its mighty works, and they thought it was Satan. They did not know heaven from hell, sin from holiness, God from the devil. Their case was hopeless. The nation was doomed. Yet He was slow to cast them off. Ephraim was joined to idols, Israel would not frame her doings to turn unto her God, yet His cry was, "How shall I give thee up?" (Hos. lv. 17; v. 4; xl. 8.) As He said in the parable of the unfruitful fig tree, "Let it alone this year also till I shall dig about it and dung it, and if it bear fruit, well, and, if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down" (Luke xill, 6-9). He is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, not willing that any should perish, but the day of the Lord will come (II Peter tl. 9, 10). He delights in mercy and loving kindness, and judgment is His strange work (Jer. lx. 23, 24; Hos. vi. 6; Isa. xxvill, 21). Sabbath signifies rest and a ceasing from our own works (Gen. ii. 1-3; Heb. iv. 3, 4. 10), but these hypocrites were full of their own works, their own days, their own feasts and their own ways and were so occupied with them and blinded by them that they could not see the light from heaven that was in their midst. The sicknesses which He healed were typical of the spiritual condition of the nation and of the condition of multitudes today. This woman in the synagogue was like many who are found in our churches. She was long years bowed down, bound by Satan and utterly unable to lift herself up. Every unsaved person is bound by Satan and unable to loosen or lift up himself, and neither the synagogue nor any mere human agency can do any good, for by the deeds of the law can no one be justified, for the law, although holy and just, and good, cannot give life (Gal. 11, 16; 111, 10, 11, 21; Rom. vll, 12). By one word, one touch, from Him who is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth the infirmity of eighteen years instantly disappeared, the bound one was loosed from the bond of Satan, the people rejoiced, and the adversaries of the Lord were ashamed. Thus it was with Saul of Tarsus when he saw the same Lord on the way to Damascus. Thus it will be with Israel as a nation when they shall see the same Jesus coming in His glory. Thus it has been with multitudes now in glory and multitudes still on earth, and thus it might be with every one still bound by Satan if they would let the Lord lay His hand upon them and speak peace to them, for the free gift of God is eternal life, and whosoever will may take it (Rom. vl. 23; Rev. xxii, 17). In our second portion He did not say, "Which of you shall see," but "Which of you shall have an ox or an ox fallen into a pit." Surely He can have His own property at any time and in any place, but His pitiful cry is, "Ye will not come unto me; Israel would have none of me" (John v. 40; Ps. lxxi, 11). The woman came to Him when He called har (xiff, 12), and so did the little child, but He is saying to many: "I have called, and ye refused. Ye have set me naught all my counsel and would nons of my reproof" (Prov. l, 24, 25). These great foundation truths must never be forgotten: "God is love;" "The Lord is not willing that any should perish." He is still asking, "What mere could have been done that I have not done?" (Isa. v. 4). It is still true, "This man receives manners." Milady's Mirror Going Up and Down Stairs: Goling up and down stairs properly is one of the best physical exercises. It strengthens the heart, expanding the lungs by inducing deep breathing, strengthens muscles of the back, shoulder and abdomen. It promotes elasticity of the foot and leg muscles and, above all, brings about pain of the body. The correct, healthy way to mount stairs is as follows: Floor.—Place the ball of one foot on the step, raise the heel of the other foot, carrying it forward so that it is in Rea with the head of the foot in front. Second. At the same time raise, the body by transferring the weight to the ball of the foot already on the stair. The relative positions of the different parts of the body are precisely the same on in walking on a level surface—head up, chest up and out, arms hanging free from the shoulder blades. To second stairs the following are the correct positions: First—Body erect, point the toe downward, heel tensed inward. Second—Touch the step, sinking gradually, lightly upon the ball of that foot, at the same time carrying the weight to it by raising the heel of the foot on the stair above, swinging the heel inward on the toe as a pivot, as in mounting stairs. Keep the heels in line all the time. Spreading the feet is not only awkward, but unrefined. Swaying also is awkward and unnecessary. Practice rising on the toes and sinking on the knees, slowing rising again. It will help make the ankle muscles flexible so that the little pivot movement can be done freely. A Valuable Cream. One of the most delightful creams to use on the face is the orange flower cream. It will soften and whiten the skin and is also good for massaging. It is not as greasy as most creams. It may be prepared as follows: Take spermaceti, six drams; oil of sweet almonds, four ounces; white wax, six drams; glycerin, one and one-half ounces; borax, two drams; orange flower water, two ounces; oil of olives, fifteen drops; the oil of nerol, fifteen drops; oil of bigarade (orange skin), fifteen drops. Warm the spermaceti, wax and almond oil in a double holler until they become creamy; then add the glycerin to the orange flower water and let the borax dissolve in this. Pour this mixture into the first one, stirring constantly. Just before the cream congeals pour in the perfumed oils drop by drop. For Oily Skin. Olly skins are often caused by indigestion. If your skin is olly pay strict attention to your diet, eating only the simplest foods at regular hours and absolutely avoiding all greasy foods. A couple of times a day sponge the following witch hazel lotion on the face. Take four ounces of distilled witch hazel and one dram of boric acid and mix together. Do not use any cream on the face, but protect it as much as possible from all sudden changes of temperature and any undue irritation. Build up the general health, paying particular attention to the circulation. Once the blood is in perfect condition it will remedy the shriveled skin of which you complain. To Reduce Waist Line To reduce the size of the waist and hips stand with the feet eighteen inches apart. Raise arms above head and bend body from waist only until the finger tips touch the floor. Raise the body and repeat. Practice this for five minutes and then put the feet together and go through the same movements for another five minutes. At first you will not be able to touch the floor, but the necessary flexibility will come in time. Repeat the exercise frequently at first. If you are up to date in the use of face powder you should have two sorts of powder—one to use in the daytime and one to use in the evening. The evening powder, because of the fact that it will be shown under artificial light, is colored slightly mauve. This sort of powder must be expensive to be delicately and naturally colored and for a good quality. The daylight powder has a pinker tinge. To Clean the Face. Japanese tissue paper is convenient in cleansing the face. It may be used instead of a face cloth. It possesses the big advantage that it can be thrown away after it is used and therefore appeals to the fastidious woman as cleaner than any cloth. These little sheets of tissue paper can be used to apply lotions, cold cream or water to the skin. It is thin, soft and at the same time firm. Hand Lotion. A formula for a hand lotion that has proved to be a delightful toilet article is as follows: Take thirty grains of gum tragacanth, soak in seven ounces of rosewater for three days, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. At the end of that time strain and add one ounce of glycerin and one of alcohol. FLOUR MILL ON FARM How One North Dakota Man Got a Greatest Return From Crops. A North Dakota realizes the maximum returns from his wheat and rye crops by converting these grains into flour which he sells at $3 a hundred pounds. In his locality it was practically impossible to obtain good rye, graham or whole wheat flour, so this farmer started growing and grinding his own grain. As he became proficient the quality of the flour improved until finally his neighbors were annually demanding his surplus at handsome prices. This keen demand for high quality flour increased until he decided that it would pay him to equip a small mill thoroughly and to embark in the business on a commercial scale. A stream of considerable velocity flows through his farm and furnishes the power with which to operate his machinery. He equipped his miniature mill with a crusher, a grinder, a cleaner and an elevator. The income from his flour business during the first two years paid for his plant and equipment and yielded him a good net profit. This miller eliminates all the charges that usually go to the middle man. He annually raises about eighty acres of wheat and thirty-five acres of rye. Some of this grain he sells as a cash crop on account of inadequate bin room in which to store it, but more than half of the crop is converted into flour to be used for human food. A gasoline engine is also maintained as a reserve source of power in case the water power should give out. The marketable flour is neatly sacked and sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Annually the rye and wheat have a farm value of about 60 and 82 cents a bushel respectively where they are sold as cash crops. At a slight expense as regards time and labor this shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat and rye—that in the bulk are worth approximately $1.07 and $1.10 a hundred pounds—into excellent flour that sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Yearly this progressive farmer is gaining an attractive income from his milling operations, since he also grinds grain for his neighbors. This labor in nowise interferes with his farm work, as the greater share of the mill work is done during the period when field work is relatively slack.—Country Gentleman. A Handy Harness Box. The next time a new set of harness is bought take a box and fit it with doors so that it may be closed tight. Hang the harness in this when it is not in use. It is a surprise how long it will look neat and stay in good shape when cured for in this manner. A box 2 by 3 by 4 feet high is a good size. Screw harness books will make good hangers. A little box may be attached to the inside of the door for holding combs, brush, etc. Plowing In Winter There is a diversity of opinion as to the advisability of plowing in winter. It is generally conceded, however, that sod lands should be plowed in the winter season. The freezing and thawing of the soil put it in much better condition than it can be put by the plow and harrow after the spring has opened. Winter plowing also destroys many insects that would damage crops if they were allowed to live. There will be much more moisture laid up in the soil and saved for the use of the growing crop the next year if the plowing is done during the winter season than there would be if it were left until spring. The capillary connection with the subsoil will have time to be renewed if the plowing is done early. The South Atlantic Barber Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish.

JOHNSON, 909 West Broad St., Savannah, Ga ALFALFA A MONEY MAKER. Suspects In Assured If Proper Directions Are Followed. By H. D. HUCHES. Chief of bureau of farm crops, Iowa agricultural experiment station. Success does not always come with first attempts with alfalfa, but that should not be discouraging. The percent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the seeding of alfalfa failed without inoculation, the mere addition of 300 pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field or from a sweet clover patch brought success. After inoculation the soil produced a fine growth of alfalfa. In other sections of the state, particularly in the south-central, the application of from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds of lime per acre brought success when various other trials without lime failed. Perhaps the most important thing in securing a stand of alfalfa is the liberal use of manure even on soils above the average in fertility. Its application before plowing has increased 10 AN IOVA ALFALFA FIELD the yield of alfalfa notably. On all fields below the average the use of manure has been absolutely essential to securing a satisfactory stand and yield. In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying seed for other crops, the highest priced seed is usually the cheapest. In order that the seed may all be sowed under proper conditions for germination, it should preferably be put in with an ordinary grain drill, and in average soil covered to a depth of about one inch. To distribute the seed uniformly it is a good plan to set the drill so as to sow only about ten pounds per acre and then to go over the land twice—for example, crossing the field north and south first and then east and west. There has been much discussion regarding the variety of alfalfa best suited to Iowa conditions. Since the per cent of winter killing has been comparatively low and seed of the hardier varieties is very high priced and also uncertain as to purity the only variety which can well be recommended for general use is that known as the common American. This is grown almost altogether in such states as Kansas and Nebraska. Seed grown on nonirrigated land, under conditions so nearly as possible the same as are found in Iowa, is usually preferable. No hay should be removed the year that the alfalfa is seeded. Spring seeding may be clipped once or twice when necessary to keep down the weeds, but a good growth should cover the ground when freezing weather comes on in the fall. Usually the alfalfa should be cut when about one-tenth of the heads are in bloom, which generally is early in June, as this is about the time that the new shoots begin to appear at the bottom of the stalk. Much has been said regarding the difficulty of handling and curing the first cutting, but reports from those then in Iowa who have the largest acreages state that alfalfa is not more difficult to cure than red clover. A number have said that it is easier to cure. Various methods of curing have been used successfully. In dry, sunny weather alfalfa cut one afternoon may be raked the following day, put in bunches and much of it stacked the same day. It is important that as few of the leaves as possible be lost. In order to save the leaves many growers rake the alfalfa into windrows as soon as it has wilted and before the leaves are dry, bunch the hay with a rake as soon as dry enough to stack and haul it at once. This method also eliminates the labor of cocking the hay, a feature which has been found desirable by a number of men who handle large acreages. Where one has much alfalfa hay to cure a side delivery rake will be found to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cocked it is cut late in the afternoon or the morning, raked before dinner and put in cocks in the afternoon. Here it should be left for two or three days. The use of hay covers assures one of little difficulty in curing even the first cutting and produces a hay of very excellent quality. The Care of Eggs. The perishable nature of an egg is too little understood. Dampness, heat above 60 degrees, strong odors, drafts, delay in marketing, are factors which very quickly destroy freshness and good quality of eggs. Protect Small Trees. See that the grass is pulled away from the base of small trees. Better put wire protectors about them so piles or rabbits cannot injure them during the winter. They Are to Do Very Popular For Spring Wear. ```markdown ``` NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN. The common sense costume shown here is a Polet creation. It is intended to be worn under a spring coat, and its lines particularly adapt it for youthful figures. Black and white checked merge is combined with plain black cloth. It is ornamented with ball buttons in black and white. The vogue of checks is foreshadowed in this as in many other spring models. Much attention may be given to buttons, as on all the well made tailor mades the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapis lazuli, cornaline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medial and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines. Illustrated here is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow in wired black tulle is also illustrated here. At present the lavish display of beautiful neckwear in the shops indicates a continuance of the styles of 3. SPRING NECKWEAR. the midwinter season and the introduction of many new novelties. Designs vary from the small, trim roll back collars to the full, lace edged, qualitly fashioned berthas. The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness. Even the Plauen collars are lacier than ever and some very pretty designed. These show up particularly well on a dress of dark serge. Collar and cuff sets of dainty embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze. Making the Little Farm Pay NO reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods.

These articles are written for the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcomings of ordinary farming. For instance, while I urge the advisability of growing fruit in localities which have the advantage of good markets, I should dislike to see farmers in the central states or anywhere else devote themselves to this single industry. That would be about as foolish as exclusive grain raising or dairying. The orchard belongs in a scheme of mixed farming, together with poultry and hogs. Important facts for fruit growers are that orchard land may be made to pay double and the fertility of the soil maintained without extraordinary effort. While the trees are coming to maturity land earns nothing for five or six years unless there is a plan of vegetable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soil is benefited by the necessary cultivation. Unless such a system of cropping is established a nonbearing orchard is apt to be neglected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. The cultivation of vegetables or small fruit in an orchard is therefore for the purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It goes further than this, however, for it makes the land return a living income even in unfavorable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barnyard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone meal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn, except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard land do double duty, but restores the soil fertility. If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a thorough way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of manure as the source of nitrogenous organic matter. It is shown that a cheap way to grow legumes is to apply ground limestone and rock phosphate. The cost of this treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which should not seriously interfere with this system of fertilization. POTATO NOTES. To secure an early supply of new potatoes next season plant the tubers of any good early variety in pots and start them in the house. Four or five inch pots can be used, filled only about two-thirds full of soil, leaving room for a top dressing of soil to be supplied as the plants grow, after the manner of hilling up potatoes when grown in the garden. One potato is sufficient for each pot. Time the planting so the plants will be well started in the pots when they are to be transplanted in the garden at the time the tubers are usually planted outdoors. If there is a well ventilated, cool, light place, such as a cold frame or cool greenhouse, in which to grow them potatoes can be raised in pots and full sized tubers developed very much earlier than the first crop from the garden. Ten inch pots will be sufficiently large.

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 Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty."

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.

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 read." 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 fixing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world—Argonaut.

That the organization of a first class baseball league among the school children of the city is meeting with favor, is shown by the frequency with which declarations of approval of the plan reach the ears of the promoters. The boys of the city seem to be overjoyed over the prospect of being a part of a first-class baseball organization and there is every indication that the league will be a very great success from its very start. Among the many games that are both amusing and wholesome and at the same time educative, baseball holds an important place. The Sayannah Branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, under whose auspices the league will be conducted, in selecting baseball as the common sport of the boys, no doubt gave its endorsement to this fact. And now that the Urban League has turned over the management to its Committee on Athletics and this committee has met with such success thus far, it is only right and proper that each of us see to it that our boys receive encouragement from our hands. The establishment of a league among the city school children is a fine idea. It ought to meet with success. And with the success that may come locally to the venture, we see no reason why neighboring cities cannot take up the idea with a view of establishing a circuit among them. Last Monday, a German scientist, who is visiting all of the larger colored institutions of learning, visited the Georgia State College. In the report given in the Morning News the extension work of the school was given and shown to be the Farmers Conference, State Fair, and the Civic Improvement League. The College Commission should disown connection with extension work of this kind unless same was properly conducted along approved lines. The president of the College claims that his farmers' conference has been held for sixteen years. During these years if the conference was properly conducted every farmer in Chatham and adjoining counties should have been in touch with it and received some benefits, and instead of an attendance of about forty or sixty farmers, there should be not less than five hundred. The personality of the president is the cause of this and not apathy towards the school. The State fair is an incorporated institution. At its organization practical plans were made for its success. It terminated into a family organization. The stockholders know nothing about its affairs. Its management receives continuous criticisms. The president of the College is the cause of it. Much can be said of the management of this institution that will not be of credit. Claim is made that the Negro Civic Improvement League is a part of the extension work of the College. The faculty of the College or those in authority should feel ashame to own it. The league was organized under influence of the Chamber of Commerce and by the colored citizens of Savannah. The president of the College was made president of the league. It started under favorable auspices and plans. for effective work were made. What is the use reiterating, the public is acquainted with its history; the public knows of the action of the president. The public knows that he made several false assertions about the league that he has never been able to this date to verify, and yet he is trying to thrust it upon the public as a part of the extension work of the College. The people of Savannah and the State have about fully understrood President Wright. They are taking whatever he says with much allowance. His days of usefulness at the college ended long ago. It is now too late for him to change about. A large percent of our people here has lost confidence in him as an educator for their children. As is always the case, the latest move on the part of the great educator at Tuskegee in behalf of his people, rings true of the unselfish devotion and service which go to make up the man. For a long time, accommodations on the rail roads in certain parts of the country have presented to us a serious problem. Inadequate space, dirty and insanity coaches, impolite and non obliging conductors have hovered within the range of our vision each time there is a contemplated trip to another town. There is no gain-saying the fact that most, if not all of our people who have had to do any amount of traveling whatever, have suffered indignities one after the other on account of the prevailing conditions on the train. Knowing as no one else does, perhaps, the inner designs and strivings of our people aiment better railroad accommodations, the great Wizard of Tuskegee has spoken out in clarion tones in behalf of them. As we read the replies of various railroad officials to communications dealing with railroad accommodations or rather the lack of these accommodations for our people, sent to them by Dr. Washington, it is need gratifying to note a rather general disposition on the part of these officials to give more attention to their Negro patrons. In bringing to the attention of the officials of high rank, the very unsatisfactory accommodations with which, in most cases, a colored traveling man or woman has to put up, Dr. Washington is rendering the race a great service. Better accommodations seem to be forth coming as a result. It is the sincere wish of the Tribune that when Railroad Day, the day on which Dr. Washington desires all of our people in all parts of our country whenever conditions demand it to speak to the officials of the railroads with a view of cooperating with them in improving conditions for our people, is set aside by him, that our people everywhere will seize the opportunity to do a service to their race through concerted effort which perhaps they could not do otherwise. By all means let us act upon the suggestion of Dr. Washington in this matter. Brazil and the Negro If I were asked to name the one point in which there is complete difference between the Brazilians and ourselves, I should say that it was in the attitude toward the black man. As the Indian becomes civilized he is absorbed into the population, as is the case with us in Oklahoma, and whoever has Indian blood in him is proud of the fact. The President of Brazil is one of these men, and there are a number of others among the leaders whom I met. It is an entire mistake to speak as if the population of Brazil were so mixed as to be wholly unlike that of Europe or the United States. It is mixed only in the sense in which the populations of Italy and Spain are mixed, as the population of southern France is mixed, as the population is mixed in many parts of the United States. As regards the major part of the population the "mixed race" is such only in the sense in which that is also true of the United States, and of most of the advanced nations of mankind. There is one real difference, however. This difference between the United States and Brazil is the tendency of Brazil to absorb the Negro. My observation leads me to believe that in "Absorb" I have used exactly the right expression to describe this process. It is the Negro who is being absorbed and not the Negro who is absorbing the white man. This great majority of the men and women of high social position in Rio are of unmixed white blood as the corresponding class in Paris or Madrid or Rome. The great majority of the political leaders are pure whites with an occasional dash of Indian blood. But any Negro or mulatto who shows himself fit is without question given the place to which his abilities entitle him. I met one or two colored deputies. At one military school I met a Negro professor. At one great laboratory I saw a colored doctor. All of these men were accepted quite simply on their worth, and apparently nobody had any idea of discriminating against them in any official or business relation because of their color. A very great majority of the Negroes, and most of the colored people—that is, the mulattoes and quadrons—do not make their way up to the highest positions, and they are proportionately most plentiful in the lower ranks. Among the working people, for instance, and among the enlisted men of the army and navy, I saw many Negroes, many colored men, working side by side in the same organizations with the whites and apparently without any discrimination being made against them. In Bahia there is a very large Negro element among the working class. In parts of Brazil it is somewhat larger. In Rio it is noticable, but far less so than in most of the cities of the Southern United States WHITE WORKERS NOT PARASITES Brazil is most fortunate in the fact that its white working population has nothing of the parasite about it. The whites do not endeavor to live on the labor of the blacks the inevitable result of which as shown in all other communities, is that ultimately the blacks crowd out of existence those who live on their labor. On the contrary, the bulk of the work, even in Rio, is done by white men. But these white men draw no line against the Negro and in the lower ranks intermarriages are frequent, especially between the Negroes and the most numerous of the immigrant races of Europe. In the middle class these intermarriages are rare, and in the higher class almost unknown so far as concerns men and women in which the black strain is atall evident. But even in the higher ranks there is apparently no prejudice whatever against marrying a mah or girl who is, say, seventh white the remaining quantity of black blood being treated as a negligible element. The men and women with whom I closely associated were in the very great majority of cases pure white save in the comparatively instances where they had a dash of Indian blood. But they naturally and unconcernedly told me the facts as I have above related them. Perhaps the attitude that the Brazilians, including the most intelligent among them, take is best symbolized by a picture we saw in the art museum in Rio. It portrayed a black grandfather, a mulatto son and a white grandchild, the evident intention of the painter being to express both the hope and the belief that the Negro was being absorbed and transformed that he would become a white man. It is idle to prophesy for any remote future, and it is a very doubtful thing to prophesy even about the immediate future, but my impression is that the guiding or ruling classes of Brazil will continue to be almost absolutely white, that in the classes immediately below them there will continue to be a certain small absorption of Negro blood, and that among the ordinary people this absorption will be larger—large enough to make a slight difference in the type. IDEALS DIFFERENT From the above it will be seen that the ideals of the United States and of Brazil as regards the treatment of the Negroes are wholly different. The best men in the United States, not only among the white, but among the blacks also, believe in the complete separation of the races so far as marriage is concerned while they also believe in treating each man of whatever color absolutely on his worth as a man, allowing him full opportunity to achieve the success warranted by his ability and integrity, and giving to him the full measure of respect to which that success entitles him. In Brazil, on the contrary, the idea looked forward to is the disappearance of the Negro question through the disappearance of the Negro himself—that is, through his gradual absorption into the white race. This does not mean that Brazilians are or will become the "mongrel" people that they have been asserted to be by certain writers, not only French and English, but American. The Brazilians are a white people, belonging to, the Mediterranean race, and differing from the northern stocks only as such great and civilized old races as the Spaniards and Italians, with their splendid historic past, differ from these northern stocks. The evident Indian admixture has added a good, and not a bad element. The very large European immigration of itself tends, decade by decade, to make the Negro blood a smaller element of the blood of the whole community. The Brazilian of the future will bein blood more European than in the past, and he will differ in culture only as the American of the North differs. The great majority of the men and women I met, the leaders in world of political and industrial effort and of scientific accomplishment, showed little, if any more trace of Negro blood than would be shown by the like number of similar men in a European capital. Yet not only is there in some classes a considerable infiltration of Negro blood with a corresponding tendency of the pure Negro type to disappear, but this process is regarded with hearty approval by the most thoughtful statesmen of the country. Their view, so different from our own, can perhaps best be expressed in the words of one of these very statesmen, himself of pure white blood, who said to me substantially: "Of course the presence of the Negro is the real problem, and a very serious problem both in your country, the United States, and in mine, Brazil. Slavery was an tolerable method of solving the problem, and had to be abolished. But the problem itself remained in the presence of the Negro. It was not the slave-owner who inherited his slaves who was responsible for the problem. The slave trader who brought slaves into the country was the man who inflicted the ghastly wrong not only upon the blacks but upon the whites. We, like you, have merely inherited the problem. U. 8. METHOD CRITICISED Now comes the necessity to devise some method of dealing with it. You of the United States are keeping the blacks as an entirely separate element, and you are not treating them in a way that fosters their self respect. They will remain a menacing element in your civilization, permanent, and perhaps even after a while a growing element. With us the question tends to disappear because the blacks themselves tend to disappear and become absorbed. You speak of Brazil as having a large Negro population. Well, in a century there will not be any Negroes in Brazil, whereas you will have twenty or thirty million of them. Then for you will be a real and uncomfortable problem, while for us the problem in its most menacing phase will have disappeared. You say that this result will be accomplished only by an adulteration, and therefore a weakening of the pure white blood. I grant that this will have happened as regards a portion, perhaps a third, of our population. I regret this, but it is the least objectionable of the alternatives. We treat the Negro with entire respect, and he responds to the treatment. If a Negro shows capacity and integrity, he receives the same reward that a white man would receive. He has therefore every incentive to rise. In the upper ranks of society there is no intermarriage with the Negro of pure or nearly pure blood; but such intermarriage is frequent in the lower ranks, especially between the Negro and many classes of immigrants. "The pure Negro is constantly growing less and less in numbers, and after two or more crosses of the white blood the Negro blood tends to disappear, so far as the physical, mental and moral traits of the race are concerned. When he has disappeared, his blood will remain as an appreciable, but in no way a dominant, element in perhaps a third of our people, while the remaining two-thirds will be pure white. Granted that this strain will represent a slight weakening in one third of our population, the result will be that in our country two-thirds of the population will have kept its full strength; with the one-third slightly weakened, while the Negro problem will have entirely disappeared. In your country all the white population will have been kept in its original race strength, but the Negro will remain in increased numbers and with an increased and bitter sense of his isolation, so that the problem of his presence will be more menacing than at present. I do not say that ours is a perfect solution, but I regard it as a better solution than yours. We and you have to face two alternatives, neither of them without drawbacks. I believe that the one we Brazilians have chosen will in the long run, from the national standpoint, prove less disadvantageous and dangerous than the one you of the United States have chosen."—Ex-President Roosevelt in The Outlook. White and Negro By natural increase the white population about triples itself in forty years, while the black doubles itself. Hence the latter must form an ever diminishing fraction of the whole population.—New York American. Miraculous Foresight. Englishman- (reading)—"Keep Out—This Means You!"

They keep up a constant catarrhal condition near the ventilating tube leading trom the throat to the ear and in this way im- pair the hearing of the child. “Another common throat disease is enlarged tonsils. The tonsils are small, almond shaped bodies situated on each alde of the throat. They have a cer, tain purpose, and I do not believe in the indiscriminate removal of all en- larged tonsils. In fact, I condemn what I unhesitatingly ‘call the ‘massacre of the tonsils’ so often chosen as the treatment of enlarged tonsils. ‘The cause fs in many cages not in the ton- ails, but in the general condition of the patient. Proper medicine and hy- giente treatment will cure many cases without an operation. Only when the tonstig are enlarged, bard and fibrous, serfously interfering with speech and swallowing, should they be removed. “Prevention {s better thax a care. If a child catches a celd, do not let the cold ‘wear {itself away.’ Treat it at once or it may lay the foundation for -adenolds and enlarged tonsils.” Cover For Babv’s Fect. | Children who-are too small to walk out of doors nearly always suffer from cold feet, but this will never happen if mothera will wrap the plump little Umbs of thelr youngest in a bagicover, which may be made as follows: The size of the cover must vary according to the shape of mail or push cart which baby uses. Take careful measurements and then cut an oblong plece ef cloth, making ft twice the lerigth you require the bag. For lining you will need a plece of satin or sateen cut two inches smaller each way than the cloth and wadded with a thickness of cotton wool. This must be atitched ‘rmly to the cloth. ‘Then double the whole thing and sew up the sldes so as fo form a bag. Cut @ piece ef cloth two and a hale Inches larger all the way round than one alde of the bag, scallop It with all to match the cloth and lay it on the front of the bag, stitching it firm- ly. If you like yeu can also work baby's fnitials in the corner, surrounded by some simple foral decoration. Last of all add a small brass ring to each upper corner, sewing it on very ‘firmly. When baby's lecs are snug between the layers of cotton wool and the rings are allpped over two hooks screwed at the back of the cart you ‘will have good cause to feel satisfied with your handiwork. A Nerve Soother. Fractionsness and restlessness on the baby's part are frequent results of cut- ting back teeth, and often the-child ts given to starting and screaming dur ing the night. Try: the following plan before putting the little one to bed: Get a bath ready with the water deep enough to reach to the child's waist when sitting down. Fasten a shawl or small blanket around the neck to keep the top of the body warm. Neither abaw! ner mands should be wet. Keop .the baby in the water fve minutes. A board may be Mixed across the bath at one end to hold « few toys to amuse the child, The temperature of the wwater shoaki be 10¢ degrees.

If I am sewing and do not speak to him when he comes into the room he will gently put his head quite close, almost touching my ring or needle, for he likes bright things, till I have to give up working and talk to him as with a small child whom one is afraid of pricking. Hannibal After the crushing defeat he received at Zama. Hannibal lived for nineteen years, devoting his great talents to the rehabilitation of his country. Driven from his city by the jealousy of the Romans he fled to the court of Antrachus, king of Syria. After being beaten in the war by the Romans, mainly because he rejected Hannibal's advice, the Syrian monarch was ordered to give up Hannibal, whereupon the great Carthaginian, at the age of sixty-four, ended his life by poison.

The members of the cabinet cannot, in strictness, even be said to be the president's advisers. He does, as a matter of fact, consult them, and very often, in all probability, their advice has weight with the president, but they possess no constitutional power. That resides, so far as the executive part of the government goes, solely with the president. After hearing the views and opinions of the members of his cabinet the president can, if he chooses, disregard them all. He is the executive, and the whole of it—New York American Ancient Posters. It is probably the general impression that posters and handbills are modern inventions, but it has been discovered that the ancient Romans practiced this method of advertising. In digging at Herculaneum there was brought to light a pillar covered with bills, one on top of another. The paste used to stick them was made of gum arabic. The bills, when separated and examined, were found to be programs and announcements of public meetings and even election proclamations. Useless Noise. Hargis was lying on the couch very ill. The servant in the next room knocked down some dishes with a tremendous clatter. Hargis' nerves were quite unstrung, and he called out in a rage: "I suppose you have broken all the plates?" "No." replied the servant weekly, "there isn't one broken." "Well, then," growled the enraged invalid, "why did you make, all that noise for nothing?" -Everybody's. Origin of Stammering. A new theory as to the origin of stammering is set forth by C. S. Bluemel in a book on that subject. It is usually said that stammering is due to spasm or to incoordination of muscles, but this is no explanation, as it does not tell what causes the spasm or the incoordination. According to Mr. Bluemel, stammering is the result of transient auditory amnesia—forgetfulness of the sound of words—which produces the secondary conditions of mental confusion and fear, these being intensified in some cases by autosuggestion. The initial cause may be slight and limited to early life. It may even lessen and disappear, while the secondary effects remain as acquired habits. Gift For a Missionary "I am sending this package to a missionary friend of mine who is about to sail for India." said the man who got on at Clifton avenue. "You couldn't guess in a thousand years what is in It, so I'll tell you. It's insect powder. I couldn't give a present that a missionary would value more highly. We see the ignorance and superstition and vice that the missionaries have to contend with, and these things are bad enough, but there are other trials still harder to bear that the gospel workers never write home."—Newark News. Barter In Africa. Lecturing on his African experience, H. K. Eustice says he once saw a native sold as a slave for seven goats, which in open market fetched $1.44 apiece. As values go in some parts of Africa the price was high, for within a few hundred miles of the equator wives are transferred for less. Marriage, of course, is by barter, and the indemnity demanded by a father for the loss of a daughter used to be $2.40 from the bridegroom. Today it has risen to about $5, but the scale of values is shown by the fact that a native will gladly give his labor for a week in return for an empty medicine bottle with a metal screw stopper.

So the tactful fellow called at her house and said: "With your golden hair, blue eyes and pink and white complexion, ma'am, you'd break every heart in town if you wore widow's weeds." The young woman laughed and blushed for pleasure. "Oh, go on." she said. "And you are a widow, too," said the tactful miner quickly, seizing his chance. "Bill's head and legs and arms was just blown off in an explosion. But you're goln' to look good in black, though!" England's Greatest Storm. England's most violent storm was that of 1703. A strong west wind had set in about the middle of November, and it increased in violence until on the morning of the 26th few people ventured out of their houses, and on that night houses were unroofed, buildings torn down and thousands of people were killed. About 2,000 stacks of chimneys were blown down in and around London. In the Thames only four ships remained between London bridge and Limehouse, 500 wherries, 300 ship boats and 100 lighters and barges were entirely lost, and many were badly damaged. The damage in London alone was estimated at $10,000,000. Saw Her Chance. "No man shall ever kiss me except my future husband." said the girl as she was about to leave the gate. "Suppose I agree to be your future"—"Why, then, I'll kiss you," she said eagerly. And she did. Her mother was informed that he had proposed, and the old lady called on him the next day to arrange matters, and before he knew it he was eternally booked. It was a very mean advantage, but a bird in the hand is worth two on the garden gate. Von Hutton's Misery. Very sad was the fate of Ulrich von Hutten, one of the greatest writers Germany has ever produced. Unable to earn a living, he was reduced to tramping through the country, begging food and shelter from the peasants. One bitter winter's night both were refused, and next morning he was found frozen stiff and cold in the drifting snow outside the village. "The only thing he died possessed of besides the rags he wore," says his biographer, Zwingle, "was a pen." Tender Steak. A noted New York architect said of a recent criticism of skyscrapers: "This criticism is not fair. It is prejudiced. Hence it will do more harm than good, like the remark of the waiter. "To a waiter who was under notice to leave, a guest said in a restaurant: "Walter, confound it, this steak isn't tender enough." "Not tender enough? the waiter snarled. 'Ah, what do you expect? Do you want it to jump up and hug and kiss you?'"—Exchange. Driving Men From the Table. Baptista Porta gives six processes for driving hearty eaters from the tables of great men. The most effective was to give them an hour before eating a glass of wine medicated with belladonna, so that attempts to masticate would occasion spasms of the jaw. The most disgusting was to set before the gluttonies vlands sprinkled with dried horses' blood and pieces of cat gut.

Casualties Expected. During one of Cannon's bitter political fights in his district in Illinois, the opposition resorted to desperate tactics. Among other things friends of Uncle Joe were summarily dismissed from positions they held in the public service. Some of his friends became alarmed at this, and one of them called on the speaker at his residence and said, somewhat excitedly: "Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost their positions in the postoffice. What are we going to do about it?" Uncle Joe took another puff at his cigar and then answered, with a benevolent smile: "Nothing. If you go into battle, you have got to expect to have some dead and wounded." Trinidad. The island of Trinidad is fifty-five miles long and forty miles wide and has an area of approximately 1,800 square miles.

In this connection the story is told of two little girls of a certain family who returned from the music hall "in a state of mind." One of them carried an expression of deep scorn, the other an air of great dejection. "What is the matter, girls?" asked some member of the household. "Was the concert fine?" "The concert was all right," responded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself." "Disgraced herself?" "Yes, she sneezed in the middle of the symphony."—Philadelphia Ledger.

Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and how your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call. Canadian "Alligators." The unsophisticated visitor to the lumber districts of Canada may occasionally see what is to him a very remarkable sight, a primitive looking steamboat high and dry on a road, crawling along quite comfortably, apparently just as much at home as in its natural element. These boats are known as "alligators," and are used for towing the rafts of logs down the rivers and lakes to the mills, says the Wide World Magazine. Sometimes it is desired to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat is then hauled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power. Musical. THE HEROIC SPIRIT. In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles. The littleness of the events and the instruments we are dealing with are forever cheating out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so. There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor: Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze. A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express. To Make Shaving Easier. To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan: Lather the face well and wash off the lather.

STREET Farm and Garden WINTER SPRAYING FOR TREES Permant Spraying Is the Only Method For Destroying Certain Pasta. There is long list of tree pests, enemies of fruit yields and actual destroyer of the trees, that should be vigorously fought in winter, says a writer in Farm Progress. So far the only method discovered for combating them is by winter spraying. Late winter is the time for "annual housecleaning" in the orchard. The list of enemies that can be choosed or entirely wiped out by winter or damned spraying is rather long and includes the Sun Jose scale, anthracnose, spike, weedy aphis, coding moth, brown mite, red spider and powdery mildew. When you spray, spray thoroughly. Winter spraying is no exception to the rule, and the spray material should be used on with force enough to reach all the larking enemies. Thorough spraying brings up the question of proper equipment. All the bark must be wet. At least 100 pounds of pressure is necessary, and in some cases I have found 150 to 200 pounds of pressure giving the best results. It must be driven into the bark cracks and crevices. The man who is just beginning to take up the question of winter spray- ```markdown ``` SPRAYING TREES FROM THE ROADWAY. ing ought to be able to distingush the different kinds of enemies found on the trees in winter. He ought to buy a good pocket lens, costing about 75 pents, and carefully study all the para- teses, scabs and fungi he can find. In battling with mildew, mites, spiders and moths all infected trees should be pruned and the dead and decaying parts removed. All wounds should be cleaned out and the faking, scaling bark ought to be scraped away from the trunks. Let this work precede the spraying with lime-sulphur. All rubbish should be burned at once. This will expose all the hibernating pests so the spray will reach them easily. Every part of the tree ought to be bathed in the film of spray even to the tiniest twig. The best time for applying sprays to the pests mentioned is a short time before the buds show signs of swelling. Bordeaux 6-4-50 is the spray, used most in late winter spraying, when the lime-sulphur is deemed inadequate. It is very effective in dealing with antimone and incipient cases of peach leaf curl. To be really effective the spray should be put on at a dry time, as a fall of rain will wash much of the spraying material and lessen its effectiveness. The one pest that ought to be fought hardest by the winter sprayer is the San Jose scale. Look for the round, grayish and black, button shaped bodies with a pimple-like elevation in the center. This elevation is about the size of a pin head and is often surrounded by a red ring. Lime-sulphur solution properly applied will kill the San Jose scale at any date between the falling of the leaves and the leading out in spring. There are three rules that I think every man should apply in going about spraying, whether he is doing the work in winter or in summer. They are: When you spray, be sure you are doing it at the right time. If you don't know the reason why you are spraying, don't spray at all. The only way to know the reasons for spraying is to study up on every insect or fungus that is causing you trouble now or may trouble you in the near future. Men no longer argue about the value of spraying. That has been settled for all time. The scabless, sound and smooth skinned fruit of the sprayed orchard has settled that question. All that remains for us to know is the when and the how. Barnyard Manure Barnyard manure is indispensable as a fertilizer on thin and sandy land that is to be farmed. It supplies humus as well as nitrogen, and the effect of the humus is often more desirable than the increase of plant feed, though both are greatly needed if the land be thin. Not as Sad 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 here, don't you, Mr. Cagstagway?" "Well, I'm not as bad as it might be. When I begin arriving at dinner now I always know, that it will be my turn to eat before everything is as good that it is tasteless." -Olakeen Richard Earl "Are you getting accustomed to New York?" naked the inimitable grocer. "By degree," said the woman. "I think I like it in 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 chewed that you had just come from some place where people had plenty of storeroom 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. 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 pald 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. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the ronghest 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 Paulliac 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.

HAPPY THOUGHTS Make for yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts.

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 Savings. 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. Mias Jane A. Dolano, Distinguished Trained Nurse. MISS DELANO AND HER MADAL. The Red Cross society, whose work for humanity has been so great, has enlarged its sphere of usefulness. It has established a town and country nursing service through whose instru mentality the dwellers in even isolated communities may be assured of proper care in times of illness. The object of this is to encourage the employment of visiting nurses in remote districts where it is difficult to obtain the services of a physician. It was through Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the national committee on nursing service, that this new department of the work was established. Because of the splendid efficiency to which she has brought the nursing work of the Red Cross the gold medal of merit has been awarded to Miss Delano by the president. In presenting her with the medal President Wilson said: "It is due to Miss Delano's devoted and efficient labors that a splendid corps of over 4,000 of the best trained nurses in the country have been enrolled in the Red Cross for active service in time of war or disaster. Not only has this large corps been enrolled, but by means of 110 local committees a system has been established that enables the Red Cross to mobilize within a few hours' time anywhere in the country the number of nurses required for active service." Miss Delano is one of the most distinguished members of the nursing profession in America. She had established a high reputation before she joined the Red Cross. She is a graduate of the Bellevue Training School For Nurses. Her first case is said to have been that of the late Abram S. Hewitt, then mayor of New York. She distinguished herself by her work in the yellow fever epidemic in Florida. She has held important positions in the west, in Philadelphia and in Buffalo. She was superintendent of the New York municipal training school for women nurses and later of Bellevue hospital, where she instituted many needed reforms. CONVENIENT BAGS. New Models Are Compact and Fitted With Useful Accessories. Manufacturers of fine leather goods are offering exquisite novelties in traveling bags and cases, which are much smaller in size than the heavy, old fashioned types of bags. The responsibility for the change lies with the modern taste for motoring. The woman of 1914 covers such distances and her belongings must be so moderate in size and so easily packed that designers have been at work turning out the most elegant as well as the most convenient form of toilet apparatus. The party bag is a mere trifle to handle and looks almost like a handkerchief in black moire drawn in with a ribbon. It may be concealed in a coat pocket, or there would be space for it in a little hand bag. Within its folds are all the items that go to give a woman the finishing touches for the toilet. Just a little frame keeps all the gold, silver gilt or enameled trifles together, and the contents are all that is required. The prevailing taste leans to easily folded or drawn bags, and some novelties consist of round models of the finest leather, so soft as to crush into very small space. Inside as to frame, and into this are fitted the little implements of the toilet. A tiny hairbrush is set into gold, gilt, enamel or inlaid $vory or tortoise shell. The comb is decorative, and there are small pots for cream, powder, lip salve, tiny bottles for perfume, a miniature toothbrush, diminutive manicure implements and a long thin roll of metal matching the setting of the case that turns out to be a receptacle for needles, cotton and other trifles to mend a rent. The center of some of these collapsible bags is fitted with a waterproof compartment for a sponge. Color enters into many of these fancy cues, a green leather bag or case containing red or rose colored fittings, while a yellow bag will have every item in blue enamel or in silver gilt. Many and varied are these dainty trifles and devices featuring a season of manual luxury and elegance. TRY TO BE CHEERFU Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be developed and increased, and whoever omits its culture neglects an important duty himself and to society. The fact that few men can do their best work or think their best thoughts makes cheerful spirit animates them so be sufficient reason for acting in motion every cause which produces a spirit. 71ny Goust The republic of Goust in a square mile in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been ravaged by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 60,000. 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 the care of souls and body, for it, has neither physician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Lerum, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave. Goust to find concealed ground in which to be, the coffin being laid downhill and then out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worried the Game 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. 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 Seun. 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. 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 one 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 Plecadilly. 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 Agronistes.'"—London Globe. Illusions A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to stu the laws of evidence. The major persons see what they think ought to see. If a house is rep haunted it is easier to see a g 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 vapour fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing.

Among the Masons LEARNING THE RITUALS One of the correspondents writes of a brother who conferred a degree twenty-six days after having been made a Master Mason. Others have done as well or better so far as time is concerned. The real reason for alluding to the subject here is to direct attention to the fact that so few Masons learn more than the catechism as to make the instances of sufficient importance to occasion comment. There are good Masons who have been members of the fraternity many years without ever attempting to take any part in the conferring of degrees, but those Masons who have learned the ritual and transmitted it to others have sustained interest in the institution, and are entitled to most of the credit for the benefits that have resulted. It cannot be denied that some Masons have given attention to ritualism to the exclusion of all else Masonic, for which they are entitled to censure. Masonry demands much more of its followers than perfection in knowledge of its ritual, but a desire to know the ritual must be taken as an evidence of interest in what the institution teaches. Every Master and Past Master rejoices to see newly admitted brethren desirous to assist in the conferring of degrees and is ready to furnish instruction when requested.—Masonic Chronicle. PERSONAL SERVICE Opportunities are always offered to those who are willing to be of service to others. It is immaterial whether position is environed with wealth and social distinction, or circumscribed by the narrowest of limits; opportunities for exercising Masonic duties are offered for doing good. In the life of every brother there are critical times. The call of duty is never hushed; in the busy hours of the day, in the silent hours of the night is always an opportunity to lighten the task of others, to assuage pain and grief, to comfort the distressed. And our solemn obligations as Masons make it obligatory to deal likewise with all of the humankind as we deal with one another. No Mason who appreciates the grandeur of our ancient fraternity, and who is thoroughly grounded in the lessons conveyed by our obligations and teachings can neglect the opportunity of doing good, of being of service to his fellowmen, or decline to be of personal service in the name of Charity and Humanity. But it shall not be overlooked that above all things the duty of a Mason is vested in his family and surroundings, and his fidelity in ever constant recurring duties, however trivial, qualifies him for other duties in broader fields when opportunities are offered to render such honored service. Masonic work is untiring, ceaseless; it is with us and of us at all times.—"By your works shall be ye known."—Square and Compasses. WHO ARE REAL MASONS The startling statement has been advanced by some Masonic writer, that not more than one man in: a thousand who belongs to the Craft is a real Mason. This sound absurd, at first blush, but a little reflection leads one to the conclusion that this writer may not be far wrong. Let's think about the matter a little. The first step is to decide, of course, what really constitutes a Mason. Certainly the Master of a lodge cannot breathe the spirit of Masonry into every candidate and make him a worthy member, a thoughtful, earnest, real member. It is equally true that proficiency in the ritual does not constitute real Masonry. A monkey might be taught to make the signs, and a parrot to repeat the words with more accuracy than some working teams—but the monkey and parrot combination could not constitute Masonry. The real Masons is he who understands the teachings of the order, he who carries its precepts into practice. No Mason is born such. Some men have decidedly more adaptability for Masonry than others. Indeed there are men who from their instinct of social service, their endeavors on behalf of their fellowmen, their understanding of the motives that underlie human actions, may be said to be "involuntary Masons." These are men equipped for Masonry, the men of whom we say, "He would make a splendid Mason." Unless our estimate of him errs, he needs but the influence of the craft to round out his character into real Masonry. Masonry of the real kind is more like the cuticle and less like the cloak, than is generally supposed. This is a complex age, we are living in. The mere task of making a livelihood occupies most of the time of the majority of men. They have little leisure and perhaps less inclination to study Masonry's meaning and practice her precepts. In the olden times the winding of the Masonic horn was the signal for stores to close, and business to cease, while the leaders of community life turned their attention to Masonic activity. In view of the changed conditions, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that the number of real Masons has not kept pace, even proportionately, with the number of "members."—Selected. Your brother's welfare should be as dear to you as your own. Masonry stands for brotherhood. A true Mason is a true man, always and everywhere. The many friends through out Georgia, of Past Master R. L. Newsome, will be pained to learn that he is seriously ill at the home of his son, Past Master T. B. Newsome, 946 Parks Ave., Augusta, Ga.

They Are Used to Embellish Separate Wraps as Well as Gowns. T WORSTED COAT. On wraps as well as gowns butterfly boys are an attractive and up to date decoration. Theater wraps, separate coats, etc., are all thus decorated. The charming spring outfit illustrated here includes a coquettish little coat of one of the new worsted mixtures, with collar and cuffs finished with figured silk in shades of rose, green and terra cotta. A smart feature of the coat is the big butterfly how across the back. Like most ultra coats of the season the skirt of the coat flares considerably below. The coat is worn over a simple little gown of silk poplin. The wide brimmed hat is adorned with velvet ribbon and a cluster of poppies. Many of the new hand bags are in the shape of enlarged and flattened pears, with a tassel hanging from the lower point and a narrow silver mount at the top suspended on a short ribbon, just long enough to sling over the wrist. But newer still are the pockets which are being worn on the hips of the tallor mades. They may be visible or not, as one wishes, and the front and side draperies which are now in the fashion allow of them being used for practical purposes without in any way upsetting the set of the skirt.

Two economical persons can easily live as cheaply as one spendthrift—Toledo Blade. THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD'S FINEST ART Photo by American Press Association. A LITTLE SNOW GIRL. We hurry forth From the icy north, A swift and silent band, And ride the blast In numbers vast When the storm king gives command. We flutter down From the mountain's crown And haste o'er the frozen plains, And we dance and leap To the winds that sweep Through the city streets and lanes. Point For Boy Scouts. When visiting my former regiment the other day, says Baden-Powell, I found that several novel ideas were in force in the physical training of the young soldiers. One was tint of teaching them to walk along a plank set up on edge at a height of about five feet above the ground. To walk along this for about fifteen feet was the test of balance, and after a little practice there was not one who could not do it, although at first trial it looked hopeless. It might be thought to be rather a waste of time to instruct soldiers in walking the tight rope, but most curious results have been obtained from it. Not only does a lad become more well balanced, confident and plucky, but it has been found that he also develops very rapidly into a good shot. One old soldier, who was a particularly bad shot, was sent through a course of tight rope walking, and he soon gained thereby the power of controlling his nerves. Making Sieighbells The sleighbells we see are round with an iron "jingle" in them. Now, you know that this little jingle could not have been put through the holes of the bell, so perhaps you would like to know how the bell is made. It is made by a man called an iron founder. First he puts the jingle inside a little ball of mud, which is just the shape and size of the metal ball. Then he makes a mold the shape of the outside of the ball. The ball of mud with the jingle in it is put inside the mold; then hot metal is poured in and fills the space between the ball and the mold. But when the mold is taken off the bell will not ring. As soon as the dirt inside the mold is shaken out the jingle is still in the bell and it will ring now. It took many years to think how to make a sleighbell. Cerberus. In Greek fable Cerberus is the three headed dog that watches outside the entrance to hades. Some writers assert that he has fifty heads, but generally he is said to have three, and three snakes are twined about his neck. His cave is on the farther side of the dark river Styx, where Charon, the ferryman of the dead, lands the shades. Cerberus is supposed to welcome all entering hades, but to seize all those seeking to escape. About Common Spices. The nutmeg tree is a native of the Moluccas. The ginger plant grows from two to three feet high. A preserve is made from young roots of ginger. Ten varieties of plants are known to produce black pepper. The red pepper plant belongs to the deadly nightshade family. Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tree of the laurel family. A Joke on John. "I can't do this example," pouted John. "You can do anything you want to do," replied his pa. "Even water may be carried in a sieve, if you only wait." "How long must I wait?" asked John. "Till it freezes," coolly answered Pa. Ma's Mistake. "Is it wrong to smoke, ma?". "Yes, dear; it is a bad habit." "I know some one that got rich smoking." "Who is it?" "Jim's pa. He smokes ham."
