Dstingnished social workers and publicists form all parts of the country will assemble here to discuss the problems growing out of the industrial and educational needs of the colored people, as well as those relating to segrega- tion and discrimination. Both white and colored speak- ers are on the program. Among the.former are Moorefield Storey of Boston, the President of the Association; Professor Jacques Loeb, a leading American biolo- gist; Mrs. Robert La Follette, wife of the senator from Wiscon- sin; Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington ; ex-Attorney-Gener- al Charles J. Bonaparte of Balti- more; Mrs. Havelock Ellis, wife of the English scientist, Dr. Joel E. Spingarn; and Oswald Garri- son Villard, editor of the New -Yerk Evening Post. The conference opens on May 3rd with a message from His Eminence, James Cardinal Gib- bons. The address by Professor Loeb, which is likely to attract widespread attention, on “The Theory of Racial Inferiority in the Light of Recent Biological knowledge.” Professor Loeb is said to be strongly opposed to some of the dogmatic assertions which have been made in the name of science, by Chamberlain and others, regarding the alleged superiority of the Anglo-Saxon or Teutonic stock. He speaks with more than ordinary authori- ty on this subject as one ofAmeri- ca’s leading biologists and the head of the Rockefeller Institute for biological research. At the same session Mrs. La Follette will speak ‘on “Colored Folk and Philanthropy,” and addresses will be made by Dr. Howard Kelly, of Johns Hopkins University, Rev. ‘R. W. Bagnall of Detroit, and others. On Monday there will be ad- .dresses by Dr. Katherine Bement ‘Davis, of the Department of Cor- rection of New York City, on “The Delinquent Colored Wo- man;” Mr, Justin Carter ot Har- risburg, Pa., on “Discrimination in the Professions ;” ,Mrs.Have- lock Ellis; Dr. Joel E. Spingarn; Archibald H. Grimke.of Washing- ton, D. C. The leading address on Monday evening will be one by Senator Wesley L. Jones on Agri- cultural Education. Southerners will take a sig- nificant part in the program.

The associa- tion takes the ground that as it was the colored merchants who made the races possible by their contributions for tivo years, and as it is desired that race loyalty should be taught the children it is no more than right that the win- ners of the various contests should show their appreciation by patronizing those merchants who are fostered the affair by their liberal gifts... |, The schools to compete, fifteen in all, have all selected their teams and one of the. closest fights since he races were inau- gurated is looked for. The most important addition to the program of events this year is the including of four races for girls. The interest be- ing manifested in this quartet of events is by no means less spirit- ed than that shown by he hun- dreds of boys to compete, if any thing it even surpasses that of the boys. All during the week th teachers in the various schools have had their hands fult select- ing the ten girls to represent the different schools. The events for the girls will probably be the last to be run next Friday. In order to enliven the after- noon Middleton’s full brass band has been engaged and those who were present last year and list- ened to the inspiring singing of the three thousand children when the band struck up“a popular piece know just what to expect on_next Friday. e There will be special seating of the schools in the grandstand, each school’s space being desig~ nated and roped wes A scheme has been devised whereby the contestants will all be kept off the field except when they are actually competing. To accomplish this the teams will occupy, when hot competing, a space on the west bleacher, only the judges being on-the field coi- tinuously. In this way, the spec- tators will have an ugobstructed view of the field. Another distinct improvement this year will be the numbering of each contestant. This will ena~ ble both the judges and the pub- lic to keep from getting the boys confused, as was the case last year. eo 4 we, The races will begin promtly at 3 oclock, ihis was made possible through the kindness of Super- intendent Ashmore in allowing the city schools to close an hour earlier on the day of the races. Because of the large number of small children that will be at the park the events will have to be tun off as rapidly as is practica- ble so as to get the little ones to town before darkness. Tickets for the event can be purchased from any of the school children and are selling at 1o cents for children and 15cents for adults, Box seat tickets may be secured Tuesday morning at The Tribune or Young Bro- thers for 25 cents.

JERRY NESBIT, Captain Beach “- e was THE NEGRO AND SO- CIAL WORK, URBAN LEAGUE HELD IN—~ TERESTING MEETING Associate Director Jones of the * National League Delivers Ad-. dress before Body—Reports of Committees very Interesting. The local branch’ of the Nat- ional League on Urban Condi- ions Among Negroes met om hast Monday night at Asbury: ME. church in the quarterly meeting and the reports rendered by, the varioustommittees showed that The league is doing much good in’ the conimunity. The meeting was conducted by the president and was one ef the most enthusiastic ever held by the body. A very representative crowd was out. The feature of the meeting was the address 6 Mr, Eugene Kinc- Ke Jones of New: York, an a3so- ciate director of the national bo- dy. Mr. Jones spoke on “The Negro and Social Work” and his address was very much appreci- ated. Mr. Jones has been in the city for a week directing the work of the league. He leaves to- day for Augusta. | Mr. Jones’ address on Monday night was as follows: | “Wherever American Negroes collect in large numbers, there follow the peculiar problems, of ‘conflict commonly known as the “Negro Problem.” Whether this [migration is to a Northern or a ‘Southern city, the inevitable prejudice and discrimination of ‘the so-called dominant race preci- pitate first, segregation, through ithe refusal of white realestate owners and brokers to sell or rent. property to Negroes in desirable neighborhoods, and second, a most complicated yset~ of cond tions due to the ‘indiscriminate mixing of the good and bad ele- ements of our Negro people in the same houses or immediate neigh- | borhoods.” : Concerning the first result- of this migration to and concentra- tion in cities I could’ say much and dwell at length, but J have,as my subfect today, a discussion af the second set of results, so-shdll try to be logical and deal only with this phase of the question before us. Of course we, must keep in mind that it is possible to trace many of these conditioris existing, within these segregated groups to prejudice and;raee an- tipathy. We must also admit that Negroes desire to live in re- | stricted neighborhoods is prompted by a determination to avoid unpleasant surroundings in 'the Colored neighborhoods ‘neg- lected by the police and other city officials. I wish to place empha- sis on many of the social condi- tions and hteir remedies: 1. ECONQMIC CONDITIONS. The Negro during the past fifty years has accumulated in materi- al possessions more'than $675,000 ‘Soo, a creditable record of which the race should be proud , but un- less we get our economic life on 2 sounder basis than it is at present, we, of the next generation, will (Continued on page 4} vee te Investigations which have been carried on of late into the habits of the stable or "horsefly"—the one that bites—seem to indicate that this particular fly is responsible for the spread of infantile paralysis among human beings and a disease closely resembling this which has been fatal to horses in some sections. A community co-operative laundry is to be established in Folk county. Wis., in connection with the local cooperative creamery. This is the result of the offer of $300 for such an enterprise by a local banker and a like prize by Professor Henry of the State Agricultural college. The laundry is to be organized along the same lines as the one at Chatfield, Minn., which has been in successful operation for the past year. Celery cabbage is the name of a new horticultural product which has lately appeared in some of the larger markets. It resembles large stalks of celery, with the exception that the tops look like head lettuce. The taste is chiefly that of cabbage with a slight celery flavor. The vegetable is used for slaw, salad, in soups, cooked with meat and for garnishing. It may also be eaten raw with salt or cooked like cauliflower. The importation of eggs into this country from Russia and China duty free is sure to decrease the price which the poultry raisers of the country will receive for their eggs, but it will also put a crimp in the game which the cold storage chaps in large centers have been playing for years past of buying. eggs of the country merchant at from 15 to 18 cents per dozen in the warmer months of the year and getting from 40 to 60 cents per dozen for them in the winter. A satisfactory formula for making grafting wax is as follows: Take one pound of tallow or linseed oil, two pounds of beeswax and four pounds of rosin. Melt these ingredients together slowly and pour while still hot into a tub of cold water. When the mixture is cool enough to handle it should be molded into balls of convenient size with the bare hands, and the balls should be wrapped in greased paper and laid away for use. If the weather during which the wax is to be used should be warm the amount of rosin should be slightly increased. --- For all practical purposes a cubic foot of silage in the lower half of a silo will weigh about fifty pounds. Hence to ascertain the weight of silage remaining in the silo it is only necessary to get the number of cubic feet. This is determined by multiplying the diameter of the silo by itself and the result by 78, which will give the area in square feet of the surface, and multiplying this result by the depth in feet of the silage will give the cubic contents. The total weight of silage would be got by multiplying the cubic contents by the weight per foot-fifty pounds. In view of the fact that the price of horses has dropped all the way from $25 to $40 per head for different types, it is the opinion of those who have made a close study of the horse markets that, with prices as they are now, there is little money in raising the lightweight, general purpose horse, with the possible exception of the high class saddle horse. However, there is reason to believe that the demand for the heavy draft animal will continue with prices such that the grower will realize a good margin of profit. The situation above referred to should have a suggestion for the breeders of horses the country over. --- When a fellow (man or woman) has been through the ordeal of having all the remaining molars in his head yanked out to make room for a mouthful of porcelain grinders it is too late in the game to discourse for the benefit of such unfortunates on the wisdom of having the teeth looked after at least once a year from childhood up. However, folks who have been through the trial referred to, as well as those who have direct knowledge of such trials, should use their best efforts to see that the teeth of their children and others that they may be interested in are given seasonable attention. It is a good deal cheaper in the long run and would save a heap of irritation and indigestion. A good many farmers are going from the "rain belt," where the annual precipitation is thirty inches or more annually, to sections beyond the one hundredth meridian, fittingly called the "agricultural dead line," where the rainfall is but from ten to twenty inches a year. For such homeseekers it is of the utmost importance to have an open mind and to not cling too tenaciously to methods of handling the soil which have given good results in the sections from which they have come. It would be well to write to the department of agriculture. Washington, for a few of the bulletins on dry farming adapted to the section in which one has settled or plans to settle. More than this, it would be wise to subscribe for a farm journal which takes up the farming methods best adapted to such dry sections. Lastly, it would be well to get into communication with the agricultural college of the state and secure such bulletins as may be available. Having the literature referred to will not bring success to those who are shiftless, stupid or lazy, but they will be of immense help to those who are wideawake and energetic and who are interested in doing things in the best way and getting largest returns for the least expenditure of effort. Most any day when the sun is shine warm in the south windows of shop and office a stray box elder bug will limber up enough to crawl around in a sluggish, lifeless manner. Just how the bug has survived to the present time with nothing to eat is a bit mysterious. Potato growers the country over will be interested in a recent bulletin put out by the department of agriculture under the caption, "Potato Wilt, Leaf Roll and Related Diseases." It can be had free on application to the United States department of agriculture at Washington. Caked udder in milk cows is not always, but is nevertheless usually, brought on by catching cold. This follows lying down on a damp stable floor or on the cold ground outside. With good cows as high priced as they are, it is shortsighted in the extreme to allow such preventable cases of caked udder. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it is a risky proposition using coal tar as a material for painting the wounds of young fruit trees. In a number of instances which the writer has run across lately trees so treated a year ago are practically done for now, and this is particularly true where the coal tar was used freely and the trunks completely covered with it. That it is a very easy matter for so called experts to get mixed up in the scenery was proven in a rather tragic manner the other day when a woman who claimed to have unerring judgment in the matter of distinguishing between poisonous and edible varieties of mushrooms died shortly after partaking of some of the "harmless" mushrooms. Folks who don't have a keener knowledge than this woman should feed the cooked product to the cat first or let the stuff alone entirely. Apple sauce cake is much enjoyed by those who have eaten it. The following recipe is one that is published by a lady at Black River Falls, WIs.: One egg, well beaten; one cupful of granulated sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of sweetened apple sauce, one scant half cupful of lard, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and one and one-quarter teaspoonfuls of soda, dissolved in apple sauce; one cupful of seedless raisins and two cupfuls of flour. Beat well and bake in moderate oven. Poor condition in aged horses as a result of a bad condition of the teeth is a common thing. Occasionally the same thing is responsible for unthrifty condition in a growing hog. The writer remembers the case of two hogs that were of the same age and ate out of the some trough, yet one flourished and the other was thin and poor. When cornmeal was substituted for shelled corn the runt began to pick up immediately. The natural inference from this was that its teeth were out of whack. Scores of young orchards are going to pot every year because the owners think they can work the tracts as a calf pasture proposition before the trees get to a bearing age. The two things don't go together, and if the calves are to have the right of way it would be better to quit monkeying with the trees and take a grub hoe and dig them out. If, on the other hand, they are counted on to become something beyond sticks for the calves to scratch their backs on the bovines would better be pastured elsewhere. The old, old law of growth, "To them that hath shall be given," holds just as truly in the feed lot and hog pen as it does among trees in the forest, among men in business or in the case of the individual in the building up of physical, mental and moral forces. Because of this fact precautions should be taken to see that the weaklings have a place where they can get the fed they need unmolested by older and stronger animals. Unless such aid is given one might just about as well knock such runts on the head. The first step that should be followed in restoring the fertility of a rundown farm should be to increase the number of animals kept on the place. Cattle, sheep and hogs are better than none, but the dairy cow is the best fertility restorer of the lot. Every effort should be made to increase the manurial product of the farm. Another aid is to grow the clovers as green manures. After this a crop should be raised which will require clean cultivation and dispose of the weeds. Clover should be sowed again and plowed under or may be used as a meadow for one season and then plowed under with a cultivated crop following. As the soil becomes richer the clover crop will not have to be produced so often. Hog feeding experiments which have been carried on by the Iowa experiment station during the past six years seem to prove conclusively that as a general rule the time spent in grinding corn for hogs is worse than wasted. From weaning time until late in the fall lots of spring pigs on pasture were fed rations of dry ear corn, soaked (shelled) corn, dry cornmeal and soaked cornmeal. The amount of feed required for 100 pounds of gain in the different lots was as follows. Dry ear corn, 440 pounds; soaked shelled corn, 463 pounds; dry cornmeal, 546 pounds; soaked cornmeal, 520 pounds. In making rapid gain the dry ear corn was also the most economical with the pigs up to-200 pounds in weight. For pigs larger than this the cheapest gains were made on soaked shelled corn. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.ETRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Corn is all right for the fattening steer or hog, but it should be fed sparingly to pregnant farm animals. --- Sac and Ida counties, in Iowa, last year produced 500,000 bushels of popcorn, or more than is grown in any other state in the Union. Present appearances in a weather way would seem to indicate a favorable maple sugar season. The warm days, cold nights and "sugar" snows give promise of a good flow of sap from the sugar bush. According to the latest census reports, Iowa leads all other states in the number of fowls kept within her borders, the number being 23,452,880. Of this number three-fourths are estimated to be egg producers. Arnold Thompson of Canby, a Minnesota lad, who some time ago took a course in corn breeding and judging at the local high school, recently captured $125 worth of prizes for exhibits of the Silver King variety of corn. --- A strip of zinc put on the live coals in the stove or furnace will help materially in ridding the flues and chimneys of soot. A handful of damp salt put on the fire when the chimney is burning out will tend to stop the blaze. In the copper mines of Michigan rats seem to be viewed as benefactors rather than pests, as they are most everywhere else. In the mines they serve as scavengers. They are protected by the men and are often fed from their dinner palls. Poultry experience seems to point to the fact that seldom is it profitable to keep hens after they are two years old. A pullet will lay more eggs than a hen in her second year, but as a rule the chicks hatched from such eggs are not so vigorous as those from the older birds. Litter and mildew hay is credited by veterinarians with responsibility for the death of many horses during the past two years in several sections from so called blind staggers. The specific organism responsible for the disease has not been isolated, but there seems to be a very close connection between eating food of the above character and prevalence of the disease. Plowing may be straight so far as the furrow is concerned, yet be pretty poor work as regards the condition in which it leaves the soil. Good plowing not only means straight furrows, but that which is deep enough for the requirements of the crop to be raised, the character of the soil and the amount of moisture which will be available. Furthermore, good plowing should be such that it will cover all vegetable matter turned under so that subsequent disking or harrowing will not disturb it. While it is well to lay a good deal of stress upon sowing or planting the best of seed and of giving proper cultivation after a crop is up, it is just as necessary that the soil in which the seed is to be placed should be in the best possible condition. Probably in a majority of cases where poor crop yields are received the hasty and ill preparation of the seed bed is doubtless chiefly responsible. This is a very natural error and is one that the farmer who has too many acres and too little help is likely to fall into. We usually think of the corn belt farmer as the one who makes big profits on porkers. There are others. J. K. Smaley, a farmer living eighty miles south of Spokane. Wash., paid $30 apiece a year ago for three Berkshire pigs at the Lewiston (Ida.) stock show. He returned to the same show a year later, and his young pigs won six blue ribbons. As a result of their quality he sold fifteen of the pigs for $35 each, or $525. The owner is now making a tour of the country on the proceeds from these pigs. Secretary Houston of the federal department of agriculture has announced that a new bureau is to be created in the department which is to be devoted to the development of labor saving power and devices for farmers. The bill as introduced by Congressman Rainey, which provides for the new department, proposes that the new bureau shall investigate into all matters pertaining to methods of furnishing power on farms and all labor saving machinery, including the use of electricity, gasoline and steam in propelling farm vehicles and in operating plows, reapers, mowing and thrashing machines, etc. It will look into best methods of heating and lighting farm homes and other buildings as well.

Self Disgraced. In Boston, as every one knows, the symphony concerts are viewed in the light of sacred ceremonials. 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. For the Boy's Sake "I want my son to enjoy his boyhood, because he will be a child only once." "That's all well enough, but there's no use in making oneself a slave to one's children." "I don't make myself a slave to my children. I find my greatest enjoyment in giving them pleasure." "Then why did you kick so strenuously when your boy asked you for a dime to pay his way into the picture show?" "Sh-sh! I don't want him to overhear. I know he'd be sorry if he spent the money to see that show. I was there myself this afternoon."—Chicago Record-Herald. He Meant the Ashes Jewett—Well, when I asked him what he thought of the idea of cremation his reply was, "It jars one."—New York Press.

Da fortune teller say dat if I go to door today I see my future husband." "What nonsense! Why, here's the man's card! Goodness, it was our minister!" "Vell, I'm glad I don't go. He ain't my style."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Answering the Phone Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to callers, he will generally answer the telephone. 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 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. "I just adore caviar," said Mrs. Gottit. "Isn't he a swell singer?" answered Mrs. Newrich.-Columbia Jester. 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 us out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so. Old Laws. There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of bber 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. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaseline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked.—London Field. Mrs. Knicker-Is your husband hard to get along with? Mrs. Bocker-Very.

"There were seven of the twelve," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, "who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again." "And you had to submit, I suppose, for they constituted the majority?" "Yes.

PLEASURE Pleasure has its place in life, but the man who chooses pleasure as the object of his life has no real haven, but is like a boat that beats up and down and drifts to and fro, merely to feel the motion of the wind. When the voyage of life is done he has reached no port, he has accomplished nothing.—Henry van Dyke. Vicious Snipe. A Dublin gentleman was spending his vacation with some friends in the west of Ireland. As he was being driven to his destination he noticed a bog that promised good shooting and asked his jarve if there were any snipe in it. "Shnipe, is it, sor? Did ye say snipe? Shure. if ye wint into that bog widout a gun they'd ate yez!" Triumph of Mind. Victim of Delusion—Doctor, I'm awfully afraid I'm going to have brain fever. Doctor—Pooh, pooh, my dear friend! That is all an illusion of the senses. There is no such thing as fever. You have no fever. You have no br-h'm—no material substance upon which such a wholly imaginary and suppositious thing as a fever could find any base of operation. Victim—Oh, doctor, what a load you have taken from my—from my—I have a mind, haven't I, doctor?—Chicago Tribune. Runaways. "This paper," said Languid Lewis, "tells about a horse runnin' away with a woman and she was laid up for six weeks." "That ain't so worse," rejoined Boastful Benjamin. "A friend of mine once ran away with a horse, and he was laid up for six years."—New York Globe. Favorites of the Gods Abyssinia is one of the countries to which foreigners and their own people have given different names. "Abyssinia" is derived from an Arabic word meaning mixture or confusion, in allusion to the mixed character of the inhabitants. They prefer to call themselves Ethiopians, and it certainly is a fine old name, which makes even Menelik's alleged descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba seem a modern detail, for the Ethiopians, according to the Greeks, were the first inhabitants of the earth, or, at any rate, the first who worshiped the gods. According to Homer, they were the favorites of the gods and the justest of all men.—London Chronicle. A Precisian. A New York physician who has recently transferred his activities to the Hub tells of a Bostonian who, like most of his townsmen, is a precarian in the matter of English and who had occasion not long ago to consult the aforesaid doctor. After ascertainment of symptoms the physician said: "What you need more than anything else is a tonic in the shape of fresh air." Whereupon the Hubbite waxed sarcastic and inquired: "Before we proceed further would you mind telling me what is the shape of fresh air?"—Lippincott's. The Crab In the Oyster- "The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."-Exchange. The Oldest Treaty. The oldest text of a real treaty now in existence is that of the convention between Ramesses II., king of Egypt, and the prince of Kheta, which embraces the articles of a permanent offensive and defensive alliance, with clauses providing for the extradition of emigrants, deserters, criminals and skilled workmen. This treaty was drawn up in the fourteenth century, B. C., and is the earliest record that we have of any international transaction. Brilliant Future. "How long have you been dieting now, Mr. Stout?" "A little more than six months." "Do you notice any beneficial results?" "I should say I did. They are wonderful. I have lost fully two pounds. Think of it! I'll only have to keep at it for about eighteen years to get down to 200."—Chicago Record-Herald. The Easiest Way. Mrs. Newlywed—That table seems awfully rickety. Why, it creaks if you put your hand to it. Shopkeeper—Well, that's all the style, ma'am. It's built that way on purpose. You can't read an account of fashionable dinner parties without noticing how the tables groaned under the weight of the delicacies. Better take this one, ma'am.—New York Post. Good form Unneighborly Noises. Lack of neighborly responsibility seems to be conspicuous through all ranks of society. You can understand the conduct of the knife grinder who blows his horn or rings his bell under your window, regardless of the rest or work he may be interrupting, just as you can excuse the yells of the itinerant vegetable or fruit vender who cries his wares raucously along the street. These noise producers are working for their living, and their calls and clangings are part of their stock in trade. Without them you would not know their goods were offered for sale. You can even tolerate the banging of the beaters on rugs on the roof or in the back yard, because you know the cleaning must be done, and it is being performed in the only locality that presents itself. But what good is gained by the unnecessary honkings of an automobile which wake the echoes of your street at midnight? Why should the collectors of ashes and garbage make unnecessary noise in the discharge of their duties? And to come within the house and in touch with those who are supposed to have gentler tendencies, why should persons of like nature with ourselves keep so called music—either vocal or instrumental—going at an hour when ordinary, every day folk are supposed to be asleep? Bings For Bridegrooms. A custom rather strictly observed in Germany is the exchange of rings by bride and bridegroom on the wedding day, and it is a very pretty idea. "Why shouldn't the man have some outward symbol to show that he is married as well as a woman?" asked a little dark eyed bride who had used this double ring ceremony. And why not? Very few brides now select a plain diamond solitaire that was for so long considered the only proper engagement token; the larger the stone the more the girl loved to flash it. Now a diamond is used if the girl wishes it, but it is cut and set in some individual manner and is made with the promise that no duplicates will be sold. Some new rings are being shown which on first appearance seem to be very handsome seals, but on closer examination show that they are to be divided when the "time" comes into two separate rings. They are made to order, as is much of the jewelry worn nowadays by those who wish to have exclusive styles in their articles of adornment. Table Manners When we consider good table manners in a general way there is one point that is emphasized. Quietness without haste is the thing that will do more than anything to give attractive table manners. Any one can be quiet and dignified. It may be a difficult thing to master the uses of the different utensils and to keep in mind the order of courses; it may seem a stupendous task to review the different positions and ways of eating different foods, but it is the easiest thing in the world to do things in a quiet manner. They are the essence of good table manners, and on this foundation it is possible to build an intricate structure that will take you through any formal dinner in satisfaction. Dancing Etiquette. "When dancing with a young girl" asks a perplexed masculine reader, "is it necessary to continue dancing with her—perhaps three or four dances—until some other man relieves you by asking the girl for a dance? Is there no way in which a man can gracefully get away?" The nice thing to do is to dance with the girl until another partner comes to claim her, but in case you have the next dance with another girl you must make your excuses gracefully, explaining the situation, and then go to claim the other girl. If you are free for the succeeding dances you should remain with your first partner until some one else relieves you of this duty. Street Introductions. An introduction is not always necessary when people meet on a public street, but it prevents a momentary embarrassment to say, "Miss C., Mr. M." Such an introduction need not be considered a basis for a future acquaintance. Merely to bow and smile in acknowledgment, with a pleasant word, is all that is necessary, and if the lady does not choose to recognize the man in meeting him afterward that is her privilege. Consideration For Servants Respect your maid's privacy. Make it a point always to knock on her door before entering, and if you have occasion to go to the kitchen in the evening always knock there too. If practicable do not disturb her st night. Some women have a most pernicious habit of getting their maids up to unhook clothes, while others will remember in the small hours a number of orders that should have been given at dinner time. --- SPRING BLOUSES. They Come In Many Lurid New Colora. CHARMING NET BLOUSE There is nothing prettier with a new skirt than a blouse of either the same color in fine ninon or a silk or satin one of contrasting shades. The newest French made blouses are nearly all unlined, being as loosely fitted as possible, with ample fullness under the arms that quite does away with that tendency to wear badly or split that was the great drawback with the Magyar style when it first came into fashion. The colors used are many of them lurid in the extreme, royal purple, geranium and tangerine being the favorites, the blouses being carried out in charmeuse or a thick quality crepe de chine, trimmed very simply at neck and wrist with narrow bands of velvet. Very chic little blouses for summer wear are of net. Illustrated here is a House of embroidered-net which is worn with a dalinity gown of taffeta. The founced tunic, trimmed with buttons, gives an exceedingly attractive appearance to the simple little frock. LAUNDRY BOX. A Pedestal Shaped Affair That Will Fit Conveniently Into Corners. Better far than the laundry bag is the pedestal shaped box. It may be as elegant looking as its owner elects to have it and stand about the dressing room on an equality with the other necessary pieces of furniture. The pedestal may be made of the most ordinary wood, since invariably it is covered with cretonne, worsted brocade or any thick, closely woven window drapping material. It should be neatly finished at the edges with a gimp or a fancy braid. Inside it may be lined with white oilcloth, although that is not necessary, and it has a flat lid which, when closed, makes a convenient table top. This laundry box fits into a corner, out of the way. It may stand beside the bed, as it is precisely the right size to hold a night light, a book and a carafe. Cape of the Exe- The day comes to one and all—provided we live the allotted span—when our sight has to be studied. Women should do all work, such as sewing, reading and writing, by daylight as far as possible. Lamps give the best artificial light. The lamp should be placed at your left hand. Do not use the eyes directly after a meal. Bathe them morning and night in cold water to strengthen the muscles. When they feel especially tired and strained use water as hot as can comfortably be borne. With a soft sponge bathe them for several minutes, then give a dash of cold water. Special Polishing Cloths Dissolve half a cupful of shredded white soap in a cupful of hot water. When it is cold, stir into it three large tablespoonfuls of powdered whitening and a few drops of ammonia. Beat it into a smooth jelly. Have ready some suitable pieces of old soft flannel or table linen. Put these in the jelly and allow them to absorb as much of it as possible. Squeeze them slightly and let them dry. A quick rub with one of these cloths will remove all tarnish from silver and will give it a brilliant polish. Cleaning Solid Silver The best way to keep silver—real silver, not plate—always up to the mark is to wash it daily in hot water to which a little soap and a small piece of soda have been added. Dry thoroughly, and while still hot polish it with a soft leather. About once a week use a little plate powder for polishing. 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 hylaician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Larnus, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie, the coffins being laid downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the 8eme 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 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 re-elected 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 Tell Hat Stevenson Carried the Fair Face Sir Sidney Colvin, in a lecture on "Permanals" Reminiscences of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any affectation. "R. L. S.", gald 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 stu, the laws of evidence. The majorit' persons see what they think ought to see. If a house is repu haunted it is easier to see a gl 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.

What may well be styled a deep-seated regret has been felt by our people during the present week over the announced resignation of Miss Helen B. Pendleton, secretary of the Associated Charities of our city. Since Miss Pendleton's coming to our city some several years ago, she has shown an unusual interest not only in charity work among her own people but ours as well. Well-fitted both in temperament and training for the work in which she is engaged, she was found to be an ever present and encouraging help to all who sought her good services. More than once has she appeared before audiences of our people and given them advice of soundness and encouragement when they were sorely needed. To those of us who, in our own small way, attempted work of a charitable nature, her services were always at our command. Many times no doubt would attempted charity work on our part have failed of its purpose, were it not for the bolstering which it received at the hands of this noble and earnest woman. Although Miss Pendleton leaves us at this time and in the near future, will find herself in another field of labor, the good work which she has done in Savannah for both races will live. Whatever may be the future aspect of charity work here, the eeds which she has sown in the hearts of the poor and distressed and those of us whose hearts go out to those who are in need, will undoubtedly bear fruit. The words Pendleton and charity are synonymous with us. May the God of love and plenty give her peace, happiness and reward in whatever field she may find herself. Without attempting in the least to appropriate unto itself the pose of an expert in matters pertaining to education, The Tribune can but rejoice over the triumph of Supt. Otis Ashmore of the public schools of Chatham county who led the opposition recently made successful, against the publication by the State of all public school text books. As is characteristic of the superintendent, the arguments presented by him against the State publication of text books were both weighty and convincing. As the superintendent so well points out the adoption of any plan looking toward the publication of text books by the State, will not only result probably in financial loss on the part of the State, but the loss educationally will be evident as well. There can be no gainsaying the fact that public school text books are almost at low water mark now. Sometimes we wonder how the book concerns can afford to turn out such excellent specimens of the printing and book-binding art at such a low price as the present. And too, books written by the very best brain that the country affords may be obtained at these very low prices. As was pointed, the cost of text books is a small item of the financial budget of the school year. Our State can ill afford to close, as it were, its doors to the best brain of the country, in its attempt to economize financially in educational matters. The Tribune believes that Superintendent Ashmore was absolutely right in the stand which he took in this matter and also congratulate him on the success with which his resolutions met. We believe that in this matter, he has rendered the State a good service which will no doubt bring its reward at some future time. make a poor comparative showing Already the white philanthropist is saying: "Why don't your wealthy Negroes support your charities and build your schools?" This, of course, is due to the false motion of the welath in the hands of the Negro, for 10,000,000 Negroes possess in the aggregate less than two white multi-millionaires, for instance Rockfeller and Carnegie. The problem of Negro wage-earner in our cities is one based almost entirely on efficiency The experience of men whose opinions Care counted worth while has led them to believe that at no time has the Negro's opportunity for "making good" as a wage-earner been better. In many northern,as well as southern cities he is being demanded in skilled trades contrary to common belief that in the North the Negro artisan has to enter the hotel or the dining car)as brickmasons, carpenters, plasterers, steamfitters, electricians, operatives of power machines and engineers for stationary engines. When not in possession of a trade but efficient and reliable, he is in demand for less skilled trades of waiting table, caring for office building, street-paving and building roads and railroads..... Negroes are organizing themselves in many occupations for mutual helpfulness and increasing the opportunities in these avenues of employment, for conscientious, worthy and efficient workers. The public porters, mechanics and chauffeurs in New York, the Pullman porters in Chicago, and the longshoremen in New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama, are examples of this movement. The encouragement of business enterprises among our people is as much a matter which should enocern the business manager as as the people whose trade he wishes. Good business methods, a small profit on numerous sales, a strict and accurate account and the sale of trustworthy goods should bring encouraging results. Contrary to general belief, a Negro is as loyal to business men of his own color who are square as a member of any other race is to business men of his race. It si generally known that West Indians in New York frequently travel ten and twelve miles in order to trade with a groceryman of their own nationality. We need to study business methods and enter the field with a willingness to take reasonable risks and above all to be constant, regular and reliable in dealing with both the wholesale merchant and customers. As to financial savings many Negroes have a false conception of what saving means. To them figuratively it is hoarding up their earnings in an black stocking which is placed in a hiding place known only to the person directly concerned. The proper way to save is by means of well-selected, conservative investments which bring in a fair return to the investors. In other words one should make his earnings work him day and night. The problem of the unemployed among the Negroes of our cities is a serious one. A charity wood-yard, a work-house and an employment-finding agency working in connection with the prions of the State are sources through which the problem attacked could be least partially solved. These agencies would meet the demands of those temporarily out of employment through change in industrial conditions as well as force the indolent laborer to work. 11. HOUSING. The housing problems embrace indiscriminate mixing of goods and bad people in tenements, poorly constructed, ill-kept and unsanitary dwellings and high rents which force the mother of the family out of the home and bring the uninvestigated or recommended lodger into the home, entailing truancy and neglect among the children on one side, and distraction of virtue among the older female members of the family on he other. Frequently the poor housing conditions are seen in the placing of the so-called Nego districts in or-dangerously near a prostitution zone where brothels, barrel houses, "sitting rooms" and rathskellars abound. The solution of such complex problems consists in prohibitive legislation and a constant prodding of the Tenement House, Police and Health Departments, of the city government, once the proper laws ar enacted. In addition there must be conducted a consistent and persistent campaign of education among the tenants as to the proper means of preserving health and securing respectable and desirable living conditions and among the owners of property to convince them that in the long run it is more economical, even among Negroes, to keep up their property and cater to decent and particular tenants. .. III. DELINQUENCY AND .. CRIMINALITY The world has ceased to deal with the criminal as though he were an enemy of society beyond the possibility of reform. The Elmira system in which men and women are sentenced for indeterminate terms, short or long according to whether the prisoner has a good or bad record in the reformatory, and the suspended sentence or probation system in which first, or even second offenders are allowed to go free for a period under the close supervision of a court official, are far removed from the old system which required the prisoner guilty of even a trivial offense to remain in a small, cold dungeon, chaired to heavy balls of iron and fed on bread and water. The criminal record among Negroes needs to be materially diminished. Juvenile delinquency is far too great. Improper home conditions, injustice before the courts and application of oldpunitive methods rather than the new reformative means have helped to swell the record. The methods for making men and women better as outlined above, and theB big Brother and Big Sister movements, augmented by well-conducted, scientifically-managed institutions for delinquent boys and girls in extreme cases, are the sources of relief in this situation. The "big sister and big brother" movements presuppose that the children under 16 who are arraigned in the court are the vicment and the ineffectiveness or lack of proper training. At once on leaving the juvenile court the boy is gotten in touch with a man of unimpeachable character or the girl with a woman of like qualities, who visits the child in its home, has the child visit him, and by advice, counsel and contact sheds the good, helpful influence of a larger brother or sister over the erring youth. EDUCATION Our problems of education are numerous and as varied as the number of sections in which Negroes are struggling for training. However, from the standing of the social workers, they assume the following forms: (1) Truancy, through lack of family interest, malnutrition, overwork or lack of encouragement from inefficient or uninterested teachers. (2) Inadequate course of study. (3) Insufficien teaching force. (4) Lack of social life in the school community either through the non-establishment of parent-teachers associations or the failure of the citizens to insist on having the public schools made the cente of social life for the community in which the school is situated. AMUSEMENT What to do with one's leisure time has puzzled man for ages. One man says that golf is the only pasttime for a busy man; another says that golf is too expensive and slow a game so advocates tennis. Others do not reason, so loaf and gossip or disipate. Yet, for children a most appreciable forward step has been taken. With the advent of the Frobel methods in the kindergarten, the organized play in the city playgrounds and the Montessori educational methods, the problems of the use of legislature time for the child are reduced to a minimum. The lack of amusement for the Negro child is caused by a dearth of persons acquainted with proper methods of furnishing amusement, or lack of inclination to take a decided step forward. The poorly supervised city dance hall, the street corner-loafing and the saloon's rear-room lounging, are too frequently permitted to continue by our better-thinking, but selfish, citizens, who are satisfied with their own safety and pleasantly spent leisure moments. To improve these conditions one should resort to boys' and girls' self governing clubs, well regulated play-grounds, instructive motion picture houses, and Boy Scout and Camp Fire Girl organizations. A social center in the form of a school house or private institution conducted by live, well-trained and conscientious individuals, should be an indispensable asset to every community. It can reach the boy or girl who during the school year is asleep for nine hours, in school six hours and absolutely at leisure from four to six hours each day and during vacation has from thirteen to fifteen leisure hours per day. If these problems of city life are so easily stated and can be met by a carefully prepared system of work, what is it that we need to secure the desired results? The answer can be made in a word: service; the service of conscientious, alert, active and sacrificing men and women who have sufficient patience to investigate carefully and diagnose horoughly the cases coming under their observation and apply the necessary remedies which fit individual complications. The work requires a new kind of service, service born of a broad, liberal view, affected neither by ism nor creed,—a service which we as a race are just beginning to appreciate, and in the development of which greater momentum is required. In the efforts to reach the situation our churches took the lead early, and they will continue to have the greatest influence over our religiously inclined people. But, be it as it may, the churches have no kept abreast of the times and our fast, faddish American life is getting away from it. Non-sectarian movements have edged in, and laid claim to almost every significant reform in our social fabric. How many churches have taken the time to advocate the eight-hour working day, or the cessation of child labor, or prison reform, or the establishment of playgrounds, or workingmen's compensation, or employer's liability or improved building laws or even neighborhood improvement? This should not be construed as an attack upon the church for of such. I would never be guilty; but I am seeking to lead you to an appreciation of the significance of present tendencies in making living conditions better and what a demand there is for broad conscientious service. Now, the Negro, as is usually the case, comes in at the tail end of the benefits derived from and it is the job of someone to labor assiduously for his share of the profits. That some one must necessarily be the Negro himself, and from his high schools and colleges must spring those Negro social workers who can swing the situation. The competent, trained and experienced social workers among Negroes in America can be counsed upon the fingers, of my hand, yet there never was a more urgent demand for such a professional class. At least fiflarge cities of this country should be covered, and the dearth of these workers is working a hardship on thousands of people, and is causing the loss of many a dollar from the field. May I impress upon your minds the fact that, although for the Negro social work on a scientific basis is a comparatively new line of endeavor, as it is also for the whites in many communities, we can produce men who can prove themselves competent social engineers; that the success awaits only the men of conviction, sacrifice and vision and the ability to originate and work tactfully in the efforts toward readjustment; and, that the time for he right men to act is the immediate present.

In Memoriam In memory of our beloved SADIE MARIE POPE BRISTER, who departed this life May 2nd, 1912. Two years ago today you left us though our thoughts of you are just the same and the happiness for us is to know that you are safety in the kingdom of God, that house not made with hands. Sleep on, sleep on, until we meet. W. M. Brister, Wilhelmina A. Brister, Husband and daughter. In fond remembrance of my husband, GEORGE O. SHEPPARD, who departed life May 1, 1912. How mournful seems in broken dreams, The memory of the day When icy death did seal the breath Of the one I loved so dear. When pale, unmoved, the face I loved, The face I thought so fair, And the hand laid cold, whose fervent hold, Once charmed away despair. Oh! there at last life's trials past, I will meet my loved once more, Whose feet have trod the path of God, To rejoice in the joy of its King. Henrietta Sheppard, wife. In loving remembrance of GEORGE R. RICE To our George, died May 2, 1913 Dear George you've left us moaning, Your sudden death we feel; You have left a wound in our hearts, One not so apt to heal. What sad days were Xmas and Easter You had gone, but we knew where, And we hope to meet you in heaven, To spend our Christmas there. We heard the joyous Christmas bells, But O! how sad to hear; For us, there was no joy in them, We'd all our hearts could bear. It was hard to see you leave us, To know you soon must die; But we know you were prepared To meet your God on high. Heavenly Father in your mercy Pray hear our mournful cries; Grant that our George is happy With you in Paradise. Oh, God how mysterious and how Strange are Thy ways, To take from us this loved one, In the best of his days. Mother, brother and grandmother, L. C. Rice S. O. Rice C. C.

In our efforts to interest the boys and girls in useful occupations there is the danger of checking their enthusiasm—one of the greatest assets of childhood. No tasks disguised as play should be forced upon the youngsters, but properly directed play, coupled with considerable freedom, can be made to serve useful ends. Thousands of children of poor families in the cotton and tobacco region feel little enthusiasm for growing things because they have been reared to dread the tasks of the field. Child labor under hard task masters, whether they be parents or padrones, is no more justifiable on the farm than in the cities, and while the little toiletry may suffer less in the open it is their right to have the freedom of childhood. If their labors are voluntary there can be little objection. Abject poverty is seldom found in the country. Rural slums are rare. Even the most important can get at least shelters, food for subsistence. For those who are content with a bair living few lands are too poor and it is only the poorer land that are left for those of limited ambitions. The better strives for the better land usually gets it. The region richest land ultimately becomes the regions of the best farmer. Country Gentleman.

WATER ALWAYS NECESSARY. During the winter season of the year many farm animals do not receive as much water as they really need to give the best results, says the Kansas Farmer. This is especially true of hags. In cold weather, when all water left in troughs or other receptacles is likely to freeze, the animals do not have the opportunity to drink as much as they otherwise would. Professor Deitrich, formerly of the Illinois Agricultural college, found in conducting a series of experiments in feeding swine that a sufficient amount of water is a very important consideration in securing the largest returns from the feed consumed by hogs. He found that often results in the feeding of hogs it was necessary to encourage the consumption of the proper amount of water by supplying some of the food in liquid form. Those who are feeding hogs through the winter season should be in mind that the supplying of a source of pure, clean-water at the proper temperature is of the greatest importance. Perhaps in many cases it will be desirable to supply a part of the water in the form of warm slop feeds. A feed cooker for the cooking of feeds has little economic importance, but such a device may be very useful in supplying warm liquid feeds during the cold season of the year. THE DAIRY HOUSE. Separate Building For Handling Milk Is Necessary. In every case where a considerable portion of the farm income is derived from the sale of dairy products a building should be provided to be devoted exclusively to their care. The essential features which should be retained in any plan are a room just large enough for the actual needs; a floor, wall and ceiling which can be easily, quickly and thoroughly cleaned; a good drain to carry away waste water; a suitable method for heating the house in cold weather; plenty of light and ventilation; convenient arrangements for washing, scalding and drying dairy utensils, and a good tank and water supply for cooling the milk or cream. This building or dairy house should be convenient to but entirely separate from the barn where the milking is done. In case a special dairy house cannot be provided the milk or cream should be handled and stored in a clean, light and well ventilated place, free from strong odors of any kind.—From Bulletin of Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station. Revolving Mall Boxes. The use of an old wagon wheel as illustrated here proves very convenient when several boxes are located in MARSHALL one place. The illustration gives all of the explanation necessary for any one handy with tools. The boxes may be set endwise.—Southern Agriculturist. WIRED MAN LAW. Contraversies about wages frequently arise between farmers and their hired men when the latter are charged or quit work before the expiration of the time for which they were employed. Sometimes a man who is hired to do certain specified work or work for a certain period of time for fixed wages quits his job without good and sufficient reasons, and the question then arises what compensation, if any, he can recover by law from his employer for the work he has actually done. There is some conflict of authority in the decisions of the courts upon this subject, but the weight of authority is to the effect that in such case the hired man can recover the value of the services which he actually rendered, deducting from this amount any damages which his employer has sustained by reason of his failure to complete the services which he was hired to perform. Sickness or death of an employee is considered by the law to be the act of God and constitutes good excuse for delay or even for nonperformance of a contract for personal services. An employee who is prevented by sickness from completing services according to his contract can recover the actual value of the services which he has performed under the contract, and if the completion of his work is prevented by his death his executor or administrator can recover the value of the services actually performed by him.

"The largest white polar bear I ever saw," said an old whaler and hunter, "was shot in November, 1885, about 150 miles northeast of Point Barrow, Alaska. It measured twelve feet two inches from tip of tail to nose, six feet three inches in girth, fifteen inches across from ear to ear and possessed a seven inch skull, while the track made by the huge beast covered eleven inches in length. An idea of the size of this monster can be gained when it is known their average length is only about eight or nine feet." As It Was Revealed. Dr. Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Malne with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Borton in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon than a poor new one.

A QUERY ABOUT ONIONS. A reader makes inquiry as to the matter of raising onions. The land intended for the patch should be as free as possible from weed seeds, and it is better if it was plowed last fall. Onions are heavy feeders on soil fertility and for this reason the land on which they are to be grown should be rich. As soon as the frost is out the land should be given a shallow-plowing or thorough disking and then harrowed and floated. The seeder should be regulated so as to put the rows about sixteen inches apart, while the seed gauge should be set so as to sow the seed from an inch to and an inch and a half apart. Before deciding how thick to sow the seed it is well to test its germinating power. In his own experience the writer has found it more satisfactory to sow the seed a bit too thick and thin when the plants were three or four inches high, than to sow sparingly and have from half to two-thirds of a stand, for it takes just as much time to cultivate a part of a crop as a full crop. One should start the cultivation as soon as the slim green rows can be seen, and this should be kept up at frequent intervals and particularly following heavy rains, and with soil that is likely to pack and bake. Where the soil is none too rich it may be well to apply fertilizers. For this purpose a mixture of 825 pounds of tankage, 850 of bone meal and 325 pounds of muriate of potash has been found to give very satisfactory results. This should be supplied with the drill close to the seed rows. Some onion growers give a second application when the plants are about six inches high, the fertilizer being scattered close to the rows. In deciding what varieties to grow, one should be guided by the preference prevailing in the markets one would be most likely to ship to. One of the most popular varieties is the Red Globe, and it not only fetches a good price, but is a good keeper and is prized by the housewives who use them. For the northern portions of the country, where there is danger of early September frosts, every effort should be made to get the seed in as soon as the condition of the soil will permit so as to insure early ripening. A dollar or two, more or less, in the initial cost of the seed is a small matter in a crop that will gross between $200 and $300. Hence none but the best seed should be used. If it is good and has strong germinating power three pounds will be ample to ```markdown ``` WAS HE WORTH IT? Farmers of those conservative sections where the idea seems to be deeply rooted that the way their grandfathers did agriculturally is plenty good enough today and where no effort is made to hide contempt for the county agricultural expert should be interested in the following record of ten months' work of such a demonstrator who is in the employ of Merrick county, Neh. In the period mentioned he traveled 9,040 miles in answering the calls for assistance which he received from the farmers, in the course of which travel he visited 543 farms. He had 478 callers on Saturdays in his office, had 2,000 telephone talks, received 200 letters from his employers, the farmers, wrote them 800 letters and spoke at twenty meetings, at which 2,000 farmers gathered. In addition to numerous field demonstrations he vaccinated over 2,000 hogs, valued at $17,000, among which there was a loss from cholera of but 3 per cent. He spotted forty cows that were of the star boarder stripe and weren't giving milk enough to pay for their feed. Did this man earn his salary? POOR SEED CORN AGAIN. H. M. Cottrell, agricultural commissioner of the Rock Island lines, has lately sent out warnings to the farmers of the middle western states that the seed corn that is available in much of the territory tributary to this system is of very low grade this year. He states that there is very little good seed in southern Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and northwestern Texas, seed from last year's crop being unsafe to plant and much of the 1912 crop showing poor germination. He further warns farmers against buying seed corn outside of their own counties and particularly from any considerable distance, as a reduced yield is almost sure to result. J.E. Prigg Woman's World Society Woman a Candidate For State Senator of Colorado. Photo by American Press Association. MRS. JAMES J. BROWN. Colorado is to witness an interesting campaign for the office of state senator. Mrs. James J. Brown, prominent in Newport and Denver society, is the candidate in opposition to Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson. Mrs. Brown is a survivor of the Titanic disaster. While Denver is her home, she has of late years spent much time in the east. Her niece, whom she chaperoned, was recently married to William J. Harper, Jr., of New York, and since then she has felt she had more lelsuro to devote to personal and public afairs. Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson became widely known through the fact that she was the first woman elected to the office of state senator. She is a good public speaker and has lectured throughout the country. In the senate she gave her attention to a bill intended to ameliorate the condition of women and children—a field in which the woman legislator may find much opportunity for usefulness. Appreciation of Cata. Cats have many sins for which to answer, but some of them should be forgotten for a little while in recognition of the act done by one wise and faithful cat in a suburb of another city, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some time ago this animal awakened its master from a sound sleep by its persistent pawing. On getting his eyes open the man instantly realized that his house was on fire. Having time to check the flames, he finally put them out. There is no doubt that cats vary much in disposition and intelligence. Some resemble dogs very much in their faithfulness, while others, like the cats in Kipling's "Just So" story, like to "walk by themselves" and are not interested in people. The suburban cat is not always appreciated by neighbors who love birds and who see in the feline only a bitter enemy of bird life. When one loves both cat and birds it is hard to reconcile such a viewpoint. One way to help matters is to keep pussy in the house every night during nesting time, for there are more depredations during the night than in the daytime. Dishwashing Problems That dishwashing problem, we all know, is always with us! Labor may be saved by wiping greasy plates with a piece of paper before putting them in the water. If the plates are scraped with a knife before putting them in the dishpan a lot of unnecessary washing can be saved. In cleaning forks, which are really awkward things, for so much lodges between the prongs, a stiff brush is preferable to a cloth, and in drying glasses a warmed cloth gives excellent results. These may seem trifling matters, and perhaps they are, but they save both time and labor—and temper, too, sometimes. Saucepan covers are often hung up exposed to the air and where gas is used, to fumes which have a discoloring'effect. The result is a great deal of unnecessary polishing and cleaning, which might all be avoided if the covers were inclosed in calco bags or even in paper covers, cut to shape and pasted together so that they could be easily slipped on and off. The frequent burnishing by this simple method would be avoided. Lighting a Fire A capital way to light a fire quickly if sticks of wood are not obtainable is to put a few pieces of newspaper at the bottom of grate and soak a few lumps of coke for a minute or two with kerosene. Place these on the paper and apply a match. The flame will be found to "get hold" immediately and in a very few minutes there will be quite a good fire.

How One North Dakota Man Gets Greatest Return From Crane A North Dakelan 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 him 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 galuing 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 cared 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 resumed in the planting in done early. The South Atlantic Barber shop Headquarters for berber supplies and shoe polish.

They Are to Be Very Popular For Spring Wear. 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 serge 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, lapus 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 medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines.

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 (1) 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, quintly fashioned berthas. The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness. Even the Plauen collars are lacer 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 4 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 drying. 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 bonemeal. 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. Rub off all the eyes except the strongest for pot culture. Germany. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose pointed or false, but on the contrary, strong, red, blooded, aviral, 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 irreasible.—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty."

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 stampodes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ore 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.

Already they have passed the fad stage and are no longer eccentric, but pretty and graceful. The long clinging ones are rather ignored. They have given place to the extremely puffy and more bunched ones. The pannier tunic is gracefully carried out on the afternoon gown of white net and plaited silk which is pictured here. Pearl beads were used in its decoration. The wide satin girdle was crossed by strands of the beads and finished in front with an ornament and tassel. Loops of the pearls also adorned the skirt. SPARKLING ORNAMENTS. Rhinestones Glitter on the Hands and In the Hair. Brilliantts, usually in the form of rhinestones, are the chief decorations on all the newest hair ornaments. But the bandeaux having them are not the mode, and yet it was in this form that they were first used to give a finishing touch to the coiffure. Now one sees rhinestones ornamenting the hinge top hairpins, the small barrettes, the base of the crowning headpiece (which is but a couple of 10 THE WATCH LORGNETTE. inches wide instead of bandeau size) and the decorations that hold guara feathers. One of the most striking features of the newest hair ornaments that rise upright, fountain-like, from the coif- fure is that they have an imitation of a precious or semiprecious gem, large as the oval of a pigeon's egg, near their base in the center. These are most effective, for they catch and reflect in a most delightful way the brilliance from the fashing facets of the rhinestones. Some of these have sprays of uncurled ostrich feathers rising from them, but the majority have tendrils of aluminium with small rhinestones sparkling on them. Rhinestones are not confined to hair ornaments alone. There are rhinestone bracelets, dinner rings and lace pins. Pearl necklaces should now be in three strands, graduated in size. Illustrated here is a lorgnette with a watch attachment which makes a modish and striking accessory to milady's toilet. The lorgnette is mounted. In gold to match the tiny timepiece in the handle.

Love will creep where it cannot go; will accomplish that, by imperceptible methods—being its own fulcrum, lever and power—which force could never achieve. "Have you not seen the woods on a late autumn morning, a poor fungus of mushroom, a plant without any solidity, nay, that seemed nothing but a mush of jelly, but its constant bold and inconceivable gentle pushing manage to break its way up through the frosty ground and actually to lift a hard crust on its head? This is the symbol of the power of kindness. The virtue of this principle in human society, in application to great interests, is obsolete and forgotten. Once or twice in history it has been tried, in illustrious instances, with signal success. This great, overgrown, dead christendom of ours still keeps alive at least the name of a lover of mankind. But one day all men will be lovers, and every calamity will be dissolved in the universal sunshine. LEND YOUR PRESENCE. A lack of interest and enthusiasm on the part of members of our order, is we think, the prime reason more young men do not apply for membership into our lodges. We believe firmly that if our members would attend their lodges more regularly and take an interest in their working, more young men would be attracted to us. In a great many lodges, it is a hard matter to get enough to do the work, as so many stay away, frequently saying, "Oh there will be enough without me," which is a great mistake, for even if you can do nothing, your presence will encourage those who undertake the work, besides there is nothing that helps the candidate so much as to see a representative number of the membership on hand, as it lends dignity to the occasion and show him who are Masons, and your mere presence often helps more than you can know. Don't wait for the members to come after you, when there is work, but keep posted of what your lodge is doing, by frequent inquiry, and be on hand to lend any assistance you can, and thus encourage those who have to do the work. This advice is offered by one who has tried it, and speaks from actual experience.—A Mason. A Masonic optimist is a brother who can at night make lemonade from the lemons thrown at him during the day. A Masonic pessimist is a brother who can make vinegar in the evening out of the sweet things said to him during the day. Which are you?—Masonic Chronicler. They had been married seventeen years. "If there ever was an utterly worthless travesty of a man, you're it," she told him. Six months later she was suing the railway company whose train had run over this worthless husband for $25,000. —Exchange.

W. SMALL, Division Passenger Agent, Savannah, Georgia First Bryan Baptist Church The attendance at church on Sunday was exceedingly large. During every service the church was crowded. The occasion was a large baptism, after a four weeks revival. Rev. Charlie Wright preached an excellent baptismal sermon from the words "Hear ye Him." The baptism and communion services were very impressive and much enjoyed. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 47:1-10. The honored guest of the church was the Ladies' G. E. Branch. They were escorted by the G. E. Club. An excellent history was read by the secretary. Rev. Wright welcomed them most heartily in behalf of the church. His text was from Rev. 1:16; subject, "John's Vision of the Glorious Redeemer." The society donated liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. You are always welcome at our services. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union, met Tuesday at the usual place with Rev. P. F. Curry presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. J. S. Jenkins. Mrs. G. S. Williams visited the Union in the interest of the National Teachers' Association. Sermonic report was given by Rev. J. S. Stripling the sermon was excellent. A mass meeting in the interest of the teachers' association will be held at St. Philip church, Charles and West Broad streets at 8:30 p. m., Friday night. Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, one of the charter members of the Union, was at the meeting Tuesday. Come out next Tuesday. The feature of the meeting will be the sermonic report. Visitors always welcome. St. Benedict's Church. On last Monday, Rev. G. Obrecht of St. Benedict's left for Augusta and Washington, Ga., to take a well deserved rest from the very trying work and worries of the last fair and lenten time. He will return to Savannah early in June for the closing exercises of St. Benedict's school. Rev. Joseph Dahlent who spent a few lovely days amongst his many good friends of Savannah, went back to his new mission field of Macon. While in eur city, numerous friends called on him, who all were delighted to congratulate him. An evening some of the principal members of St. Benedict's entertained him with a pleasant surprise party given to him at the rectory. The closing exercises of St. Mary's school will take place in the Catholic hall on 36th and Harden streets on the 1st of June. Those of St. Benedict's school at the Beach Institute on June 16th. Last Sunday several adults were admitted to the sacrament of Baptism. It was a very imposing and impressive ceremony. On the 1st Sunday of May, many will receive their first Holy Communion in the morning at the 7 o'clock mass. Right Reverend Bishop Keiley will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to a class of 22 in St. Benedict's church on the last Sunday in May in the afternoon at 5 o'clock.
