VOLUME XXIX DECORATION DAY AT BEAUFORT S. C. OBSERVED MORE THAN SEVEN THOUSAND PERSONS AT EXERCISES. Hon. Thomas E. Miller Makes Splendid Address—School Children Decorated the Graves of The Departed Heroes—Day One of Patriotism. (By J S Blocker) Decoration Day was fittingly observed here and more than seven thousand persons witnessed the exercises which are held every year commemorating the lives of the heroes who gave their all for freedom. Because of the celebration falling on Saturday, the crowd was not quite as large as usual yet what was lacking in numbers was more than made up in enthusiasm and impressiveness. The veterans, most of them with faltering step and a few with a stride as true as men much their juniors in age, received much applause as they passed in parade through the streets in the line of march to the national cemetery where the exercises were held. The G. A. R. posts taking part in the observance of the day aside from the local post, David Hunter No. 9, were Robt. G. Shaw, No. 8 Sayannah; No. 12, Hilton Head and No. 13 Charleston. All of the posts were accompanied by their auxiliary and also the Sons of Veterans. The decoration of the soldiers' graves was done by the school children and each grave was covered with a profusion of flowers. Music for the occasion was furnished by Allen's Brass Band, and the singing of the patriotic pieces by the crowd assembled was very impressive. The principle address of the day was delivered by Hon. Thomas E. Miller. The address was a most impressive one. Hon. J. I. Washington read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Mr. W. B. Fleming made a brief talk to the school children on the "Flag day of our Country." Miss Sadie E. Washington is at home again after teaching at Benedict College, Columbia, S.C. Miss Washington also represented Benedict College at the Teachers' Association which convened at Atlanta, Ga., some few weeks ago. Prof. Willie smalls is at home again after teaching at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. This institution is among the leading Negro Colleges of Atlanta. Mrs. Irene Moultrie of 527 Huntingdon street, east. Savannah is in the city for a few weeks. Mr. C. M. English of Charleston was in the city on Decoration day. Col. Wm. McGee of Aiken, S. C., is in the city enjoying the salt breeze. While here he is the guest of Capt Alexander Meyers. Mr. W. H. Wright gave us a pop call on last Saturday, Decoration day. Mr. Wright is now located in Savannah with one of the leading undertakers of that city. Mr. Wright is the right man in the right place. Come again. Rev. D. W. Bythewood, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, leaves this week for Greenville, S. C. to attend the state Baptist Convention which convenes in that city from June 2nd to 9th. One of the most charming affairs of the season was given on Friday evening of last week at the home of Mrs. Ida Pinckney Davis 310 Bainbridge street in honor of Miss Green, a graduated trained nurse of the Martha school. An elaborate luncheon wat beautifully served at the card tables. Among the charming guests were Mrs. S. E. Singleton, Mrs. Selena Flournoy, Mrs. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Glancey, Misses Catherine Deveaux, Clara Chaplin, Dr. C. S. Simpson, Mr. W. B. Flemming. The Beach Still Leading School Boys' League. By defeating the West Broads last Saturday by a score of 9 to 0, the West Broads refusing to continue play in the first half of the tenth inning after the Beach had scored one run making the score 4 to 3, the Beach Institute team retains its lead in the school boys' league being a game ahead of the Independents who won a double header from the East Broads last Saturday. There are two more Saturdays for the league to run and it is more than probable that the championship will rest with either the Beach or Independents. Savannah Boy Finishing Howard Academic Course Among the graduates of the academic course of Howard University was Mr. Louis G. Middleton, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Middleton of 505 Charlton street, east. Mr. Middleton will return to Howard next year to pursue a college course after which he will enter the dental department. Mass Meeting.for Old Folfks and Orphan Home. The mass meeting on last Sunday in behalf of the Old Folks and Orphans' Home at St. Philip's church, Charles, street was attended by a small but very enthusiastic crowd.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914 [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a white shirt]. Mr. G. H. Bowen who heads the Union Development Company Young Man Suffers Serious Injury Young Man Suffers Serious Injury EUGENE WRIGHT HAS FOOT SEVERED BY RAILROAD TRAIN Accident Occurred Tuesday Morning at Bolton Street Crossing Of Atlantic Coast Line Railway—Injured .Man .Resting Quitely. Mr. Eugene Wright, 21 years of age, received a very painful injury last Tuesday morning about 10:30 o'clock when his right foot was severed just below the ankle by a train of the Atlantic Coast Line at the Bolton street crossing. Mr. Wright, who was crossing the tracks, did not see the approaching train and before he was aware of the danger was knocked down by the engine and his right leg caught under the wheels. By pushing against the engine with his hands he threw his body out of the path of the wheels and his presence of mind in doing this no doubt saved his life. After being struck by the train his right foot was caught under the wheels and completely severed. Two men, who were near, heard the man's cry for help and went to his assistance. He was rushed to the Georgia Infirmary and up to last night was resting quietly. The injured man is the son of Mrs. Mary Jane. Wright of 912 Atlantic Avenue. Deaths Mrs. Sarah Ann Bing, one of the oldest citizens of Savannah, died on Saturday, at 6:15 p.m. She had been complaining for quite a while but would not give up her duties. At 6 o'clock Saturday morning, she was taken with a stroke and died at 6:15 in the evening. The funeral took place last. Monday afternoon, from the F. A. B. Church, Franklin square, of which she was a faithful member for about thirty-eight years. She was a devoted mother, always giving words of advice to anyone. The funeral was largely attended and many floral designs were given. She is survived by five children and three grand children: Mrs. Ida Jackson, Mr. W. M. Bing, Mrs. M. C. Brown, Misses Louise and Sabina Bing; a brother, Mr. Robert Hines and a niece, Mrs. Eliza Moore. Mr. Samuel Simmons, father of Mrs. J. H. Washington, departed this life on Saturday, May 30th, at his home 227 Roff Home avenue, Macon, Ga. He is survived by four daughters. Mrs. J. H. Washington of this city. Mrs. Mildred Moore and Mrs. Minnie Harris of New York and Mrs. Lizzie Bentley of Jacksonville. Fla. He was a loving father and husband. Ordained to the Priesthood. In St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, the Rev., P. M. Powell Carrington, vicar of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Thomasville, Ga., was advanced to the priesthood by the Right Rev. Fredrick F. Recse. D. D., Bishop of Georgia. The candidate was presented by the Rev. J. L. Taylor, D. D., rector of St. Stephen's, the Rev. M. M. Weston, of St. Augustine Church, reading the Epistle and the Rev. F. A. Brown, rector of Christ Church, reading the gospel. The service on the whole was inspiring and the music by St. Stephen's choir excellet. All of the Episcopal ministers in the city were present. First A. B. Church. Rev. M. King preached very acceptably to the members of the F. A. B. Church, on last Sunday. His text at the morning service was selected from Matthews 16th chapter 5th to 16th verse; and at the night service from Acts 9th chapter 6th, verse. Both sermons were edifying and heard by a creditable audience. The covenant meeting on last Thursday night was largely attended. A number of candidates related their christian experiences and will be baptized on tomorrow, (Sunday) immediately after the early morning prayer meeting. At 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon the communion will be administered by Rev. E. D. Davis, assisted by other visiting ministers. A special invitation is extended the pastor, officers and members of sister churches. The Board of deacons are urgently asking the members to raise enough money to send at least three delegates, and make a creditable donation to the State Baptist Missionary Convention which meets in Valdosta, Ga., June 17th, to 21st. Mrs. Sarah Bing a member of long standing in the church died very suddenly on last Saturday evening and was buried from the church Monday afternoon. Rev. M. King officiated. Her funeral was largely attended, which bespoke the esteem with which she was held. The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of the entire membership of the church. Mr. Frank P. Chisholm, northern secretary for Tuskegee Institute, was in the city yesterday and today en route north from from Tuskegee where his class with ten others held a re-union and presented the school with a sum in the aggregate of something over two thousand dollars. Mr. Chisholm is an old Savannahian and his many friends were delighted to see him. Mr. Chisholm leaves today for Boston, Mass., his northern headquarters.

Martin has been away to the General Conference in St. Louis, Mo. They have raised much money and have added six souls to the church They have been having meetings for three weeks under the leadership of Rev. J. A. Brookins, one of the faithful sons of Methodism. The pastor, Rev. J. A. Martin and his wife returned from St. Louis, Tuesday night and were awaited by the faithful Sisters Irene Carter, Lula Bursen and Anjue Battle. The warm reception of these members with the hard work done, made the heart of the pastor leap for joy. Baptizing of candidates and communion on Sunday. St. Philip's Church Mothers' day exercises were carried out according to the program on Sunday. St. Philip Dramatic Association had charge of the music. Rev.

Mrs. Ida Jackson, Misses Louise and Sabina Bing Mr. W. M. Bing. $20,000.00 STOCK COMPANY BEING FORMED $20,000.00 STOCK COMPANY BEING FORMED G. H. BOWEN LEADING SPIRIT IN THE MOVEMENT Will Purchase Improve Lot Adjoining Wage Earners New Bank Building-To Acquire Other Valuable Real Esate in the City With a view toward financing a real estate stock company to get possession of the northern half of the improved property on the northeastern corner of Alice and West Broad streets, recently purchased by the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, the Union Stock Company has been organized and has an option on the property. The moving spirit in the formation of the company is Mr. G. H. Bowen who believes that the purchase of this piece of property will give the company one of the most valuable sites on West Broad street. The company will sell $20,000 worth of stock at $10 per share. It is the purpose of those behind the scheme to tear down the wooden structure now occupying the lot and erect a modern three story brick building, on the first floor of which will be two stores and on the second and third floors apartments or offices. The site of the proposed building is just one block south of the Union Station and is a most desirable piece of property to remain in possession of the Negroes of the city, it now being held by the Wage Earners, one of the leading Negro banking institutions of the country, with an option on it in possession of the new company. Not only is it the purpose of those behind the movement to develop this particular site but to get as much other valuable real estate in the city as is possible. With the erection of the new building by the Union Developing Company carried through and the completion of the new three story brick building of the Wage Earnees bank on the adjoining corner, the Negroes of the city will have one of the most imposing and valuable half blocks on West Broad street. Among the stock holders in the new company are some of the leading Negro business and professional men of the city. An advertisement calling attention to the purchasing of stock in the company may be seen on page four. Swangin's School Closes The closing concert of Swangin school of which Miss Emma Swangin is principal, was held at First Bryan Baptist church Monday night May 25th. The program was carried out in excellent manner. All who attended greatly enjoyed the exercises and highly commended the school. There were two graduates. Misses Jennie Simms and Gertrude Bersteiner. A very interesting and timely address was delivered by Mrs. M. E. Harper of Beach Institute. She spoke complimentary of the work of the school, "The Success Club" being her theme. Her address was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience. The "Success Club," the saving department, worked this term a new plan. The money saved was divided: $76.00 was placed to saving accounts, $31.00 was spent for working material, total saved $106.00. The fancy work and sewing was at its usual high standard. The boys played well their part in all the different departments of the school. The annual social of the school was held Tuesday evening May 26th at Masonic Temple and a very delightful evening was spent. The next term will begin October 5th at Coles Hall, 616 Waldburg street west. Dr. W. T. Vernon to Lecture Dr. W. T. Vernon; former Register of the Treasury, will lecture at St. Philip church on Thursday night. Dr. Vernon is an excellent speaker and no doubt many will out to hear him. TRIED GRAINS FOR NORTHWEST Experiments which have been conducted during the past ten years at the South Dakota experiment station under the direction of the United States department of agriculture have resulted in the following recommendations as to best varieties of wheat, oats and barley to grow in the Dakotas and adjoining territory: Wheat-Kubanka durum, Haynes bluestem, Red Fife and Fife. Oats-Swedish Select and Sixty Day. Barley-For the eastern district, Manchuria and Odessa; for the central district, Hannchen, and for the western, Gatami and Mariout. The department names as the main requirements for crop improvement and increased production, better varieties, better seed, better rotations, better soil treatment, better tillage and cultivation and more favorable economic conditions. Farmers desiring the details of the experiments and suggestions above referred to may secure them without charge by making application to the division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washington, D. C., for the bulletin "Experiments With Wheat, Oats and Barley In South Dakota." THE MEANEST MAN. About the meanest man on top of God's footstool is the fellow whose wife has darned his socks, sewed buttons on and patched his pants, washed his dirty duds and got him three meals a day for nobody knows how many years and yet who, in spite of all this labor and service and a whole lot more, keeps her so short of money that she has to get down on all fours every time she wants a nickel. Great Caesar! If she were the poorest kind of hired girl imaginable she would get at least $3 a week and board. But perhaps the chaps who constitute this tribe think that the pleasure of their company cancels the amount of cash due week by week and that their wives are really indebted to them for their clothes. The only fitting retribution that comes to such fellows is to marry a second time and have their new wives read them the riot act and make them hand over the dough in large wads. This happens quite frequently and is calculated to entertain those who are familiar with the tightwad tendencies of the victims. HIGH PRICED TRASH. With clover seed selling on retail markets at or near $7 a bushel, there would seem to be mighty little excuse for any farmer monkeying with cheap stuff from some other state which is more than likely to contain the seeds of many noxious weeds, besides dirt, sand and trash. The need of giving this so called "cheap," yet very expensive, seed a wide berth is shown in the analysis made several years ago by the botanist of one western experiment station. Of 130 samples of this imported clover seed examined, nearly every sample was found to be full of bad weed seeds. Twenty-one of the samples contained Canada thistle, ninety-eight contained buckthorn, and ten contained dodder. One sample contained 10,304 weed seeds to the pound, including fourteen varieties, besides dirt and trash. In view of the fact that from $14 to $16 per bushel was paid for clover seed that season, it meant a pretty lofty price for weed seed and dirt in the showdown. RHEUMATICS. A friend of the writer who is not far from the "eighty" milestone stated the other day that some years ago he was afflicted with a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. He tried all the doctors in his locality, but without their being able to render him material relief. As a last resort he poured some kerosene on some flannel cloths and wrapped these about his knees, keeping them there for some time. He states that this simple treatment gave him relief and that he has not suffered from this ailment since. Of course it is possible that the treatment mentioned may not have had anything to do with the relief, but flannel cloths and kerosene are cheap and any one afflicted can prove or disprove the effectiveness of the cure to his own satisfaction. THE COSTLY RAT. Where it does not freeze in the barn or stables an effective rat trap may be made by filling a water pail half full of chaff and scattering bran over it with a few kernels of corn on top. This should be left for several nights, a few kernels of corn being added as it is eaten by the rats. When they have got used to going to the pail the chaff should be removed and water put in its place. A coating of bran should be placed on top of this, also a few kernels of corn. The rats will come as before, but will drown, having no footing. The approach of the rats to the pail will be made the easier by placing a board from the floor to the top of it. BEES AND SKUNKS. The contributor of an eastern paper who some weeks ago called attention to the fact that his dwindling hives of bees were due to the nightly attacks of skunks, of which he succeeded in catching three by setting traps in front of the hives, seems to have overlooked the fact that these attacks could be entirely prevented by putting a circle of fine meshed chicken fencing around each hive or the entire space occupied by the hives. It is a safe assumption that the destruction by the skunks of noxious insects would represent a mighty good interest return on the sum invested in the fencing.

"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 Maine with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston 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.

SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Put the frosty bit on your own tongue before placing it in the horse's mouth. There are no sausages made or pork chops that beat those from a 225 pound to 250 pound pig. In both cases the meat is tender, delicious and appetizing. If the balls of binding twine that many find it necessary to keep from one harvest season to another are sprinkled with flowers of sulphur rats and mice will not touch them. The Pennsylvania experiment station has found that when used as a part of a properly balanced ration for dairy cows rye meal is equal to cornmeal in the production of milk and butter. A few dollars invested in a good funning mill is well worth while, for its judicious use will mean clean seed, a better stand and better yields and will keep the land free from many harmful weeds. A Guernsey heifer owned by a Minnesota farmer has established a new record in the production of butter fat for heifers between two and a half and three years of age. Her output was 583½ pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 700 pounds of commercial butter. According to the New York experiment station, it requires one pound of shells or their equivalent to supply the lime needed for seven dozen eggs. Grit is for grinding the food in the gizzard, and unless enough of it is supplied indigestion will likely result. The farm value of the potato crop of the United States in 1913 is estimated at $228,000,000. In spite of the fact that the yield was smaller than for a number of years, the return for the growers was larger than for any previous year, with the exception of 1911, when the value of the crop was $234,000,000. One of the best authorities on horse breeding in the country asserts that progeny of exceptional merit or quality cannot be expected from an inferior mare no matter how good the sire may be. There should be a hint here for horse raisers when the quality referred to is often responsible for a hundred or more dollars in the price of a horse that is sent to market. The Wisconsin experiment station has for some years past been making cheese from pasteurized milk—that is, milk heated to a point that destroys bacterial life. It has been found that the process of 'pasteurization has resulted in an increase in the weight of the cheese from a given quantity of milk amounting to about 5 per cent, while the cheese made has been sold at the ruling market prices. The federal department of agriculture suggests vigorous co-operation among farmers as the most effective means of killing clench bugs, a pest which it is estimated has done $500,000,000 worth of damage to crops in the United States during the past sixteen years. It is the most fatally destructive pest that attacks corn, wheat and other cereals. The destruction of the insects during the winter and early spring before they become active and enter the young wheat in the spring is recommended as the most effective method of keeping the insects in check. A feeding experiment with ewes is being conducted at the Iowa experiment station, the results of which will be awaited with much interest by breeders and feeders of sheep. The ewes which will be used for the experiment have been divided into four lots. One lot will be fed silage and alfalfa, another silage and clover, a third silage, oat straw and cottonseed meal, while the fourth bunch will get silage, oat straw and oilmeal. All four rations are well balanced, but it will be interesting to learn which lot of ewes produce the heaviest and most vigorous lambs on the cheapest outlay of feed. The rural carriers out of a certain Kansas town, upon order of the postoffice authorities, a short time ago painted their wagons red to serve as a sort of distinguishing mark of their vocation. As one of them was jogging peacefully along his route the other day he was "distinguished" by a Jersey hull in a nearly pasture. The animal vaulted the fence, bellowed a challenge and chased this outfit, supposed to be vouchsafed the protection of Uncle Sam, a distance of two miles. This stretch was made in record time. In other districts where complaint is made that the rural service is slow Uncle Sam might accelerate it considerably by issuing the same order of having the wagons of the laggards painted red. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER. ROCKFORD, IA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED This matter must not be reprinted with out special permission.] One bad egg in a dozen sent to market naturally spoils a customer's taste for eggs and is said to reduce sales of eggs in his case from 15 to 20 per cent. To produce eggs of the best quality hens must be provided with an abundance of wholesome food, including grains, bran, clover or alfalfa and oyster shells. Experiments which have been made by a good many dairymen prove beyond doubt that the more quickly a cow is milked the larger will be the per cent of butter fat that her milk will contain. The sight of a horse tied to a town hitching post and shivering with the mercury close to the zero mark is not calculated to inspire regard for either the humanity or good sense of the owner. In far too many instances it is those farmers who would be most benefited by the discussions at the farmers' institute who fail to attend because they are too busy or because they don't consider the deliberations of such meetings practical and worth while. What is said to be the highest price ever paid for a single apple tree was recently paid to an Oregon farmer for a thirteen-year-old seedling which grew in a fence corner on his farm. The worth of the tree lies in the fact that it yields ripe apples every month from May to November. Let the girls try this recipe for homemade peppermint candy: Into a saucepan put a pound of granulated sugar and a gill of boiling water and as soon as the sugar is dissolved add a tablespoonful of vinegar. Boil until a little becomes brittle in cold water, add peppermint essence to taste and drop by the spoonful on buttered or waxed paper. Candy of this kind is both inexpensive and wholesome. A walnut tree sold the other day in a middle western state for $250. By contrast this brings to mind the conditions a generation ago when the walnut was not prized so highly and when it was often cut into firewood for the kitchen stove and sitting room heater. The giant walnut of that day is gone, along with the Indian and buffalo, two comrades that with it enjoyed unmolested freedom before the white man's westward march. That was a fine type of spunk displayed by a Miss Lovelace of Texas, who has recently proved up on a homestead claim in New Mexico. In order to get a patent to the ranch from the government she lived alone in a two room shack on her claim for fourteen months. She was sixty-five miles from a railroad and twenty-five miles from a town, while her nearest neighbor was two miles away. She hunted rabbits and took rides muleback for pastime. There is said to be but one small section in the United States where Easter lilies will grow profusely and blossom at Easter time. This is Las Palmas, a few miles below Brownsville, Tex., the southernmost town in the country. As a result of interest taken in the matter by H. G. Stiles, horticultural expert of Texas, it is likely that the federal government may establish a national park at Las Palmas, where Easter lilies and other tropical plants may be grown. A plant closely resembling the dandelion that was imported to southern Minnesota from Germany some thirty years ago on the strength of the claim that it was a sure cure for tuberculosis bids fair to become a serious pest unless it is exterminated. It has spread over the eighty acre farm on which it was first grown and may readily spread to adjoining land, as its seeds are winged like those of the dandelion and are readily scattered by the wind. Farmers are urged to guard against the pest and are urged to send specimens to the state experiment station for identification. There are times when feeding hogs a good tonic for a period will help them a good deal and make it possible for them to make a profitable gain in flesh. There are several tonics on the market that answer this purpose well. For those who prefer the homemade article the following recipes are recommended by the United States government: Wood charcoal, two pounds; sulphur, one pound; common salt, two pounds; sodium carbonate, two pounds; sodium hyposulphite, two pounds; sodium sulphate, one pound, and apiomy, sulphide, one pound. These ingredients should be poured and mixed and given at the rate of a large tablespoonful once a day for each pound of long weight. HELP THEM OUT. There will not likely be any debate among sensible men over the statement that if the females among the farm animals that will soon be bringing forth their young could have their way in the matter they would much prefer to be in such physical condition as to best meet the ordeal and to confer upon their little ones strong and vigorous constitutions than to be depleted and give birth to dead or weakly offspring. In a vast majority of cases tragedies among domestic animals are entirely unnecessary, being due either to the carelessness or short-sightedness of the owners, who invariably are the losers financially when these troubles occur at farrowing, lambing or calving time. Common humanity and regard for animal comfort and welfare, as well as the money consideration, should be sufficient to suggest that care which will give the desired results. This care should include dry and comfortable quarters, in which there should be the largest possible amount of both sunshine and fresh air. The rations fed should be blood and muscle forming rather than fat and heat producing and should include generous allowances of the protein feeds—clover and alfalfa hay, bran, soaked oats and moderate amounts (one part to ten or twelve of other cereals) of either oilmeal or high grade tankage. Both skimmilk and buttermilk furnish protein in a most desirable form for the brood sows and should be used whenever they can be got. The mistake made by most farmers who have trouble when the young things begin to come is in feeding a ration consisting of too much corn. Experiments have shown that corn alone is better than wheat alone, but the former should be balanced, as suggested above, by a protein concentrate. It is not too late even now to so modify the feed rations as to produce good condition for the pregnant farm animals and insure for them vigorous offspring. A GOOD ORCHARD CROP. Where one is near a market that will take considerable quantities of asparagus (the writer has never heard of a market that got too much of it), it makes an ideal crop to grow between the rows of young orchard trees. In making ready for the asparagus the soil should be plowed deeply and pulverized finely with a disk. While from a dozen to twenty loads of well rotted manure broadcasted will give good results, the asparagus will do better if furrows are plowed to a good depth where the rows of the vegetable are to be planted and the manure scattered in these to the depth of six or seven inches and as many inches of soil turned back to cover the manure. The rows should be from three to three and a half feet apart and should not be placed nearer than five or six feet to the trees. The bed will give a good return in about three years and better returns as it grows older. In the course of nine or ten years the asparagus roots should be removed and the trees allowed to monopolize the ground. SOURCES OF INFECTION. SOURCES OF INFECTION As a result of the co-operative work that has been carried on in a number of states under the direction of the federal bureau of animal industry along the line of controlling and eradicating hog cholera some interesting facts have been published as to the most prolific sources of infection in connection with outbreaks of the disease. Sources of infection were classed roughly as of "near" and "distant" origin. It is estimated that in 45 per cent of the herds infected the disease had been spread from distant sources, while 55 per cent appear to have been infected from nearby sources. In 33 per cent of the cases investigated the infection was found to be due to the visiting of neighbors back and forth or the exchange of work. In over one-fourth of the classes birds are charged with spreading the infection, the chief offenders being crows and sparrows. EAT THEIR HEADS OFF. A weeding out process should be carried on in the poultry yard as well as in the dairy. Statistics show that the average hen in America lays only seventy-five eggs in a year. This means that there are a host of bens who lay a good deal less than this number to offset the output of the large number that lay more than seventy-five eggs. With egg prices as they will average during the year, these six and a quarter dozen eggs give the producer a trifle more than a dollar. The bill of fare for one of these bens, with prices of cereals as high as they are at present, is not far from $1.50. In other words, the owner is in soak about fifty cents a year on such birds and throws in his or her labor for nothing. OLD TIME WINTERS. There may not be any permanent change in our winters, but many an old timer cites as proof that there has been some modification of that winter some forty years ago, when a blizzard and snow-storm continued for three consecutive days and when residents on the then frontier in southern Minnesota and north Iowa were compelled to burn a good share of the household furniture to keep from freezing to death. When that storm was over the snow was found and drifted in places from fifteen to twenty-five feet deep, and many a farmer had to cut a hole through his straw thatched stable in order to get food and water to his imprisoned stock.

AMONG THE MASONS ALL ROADS LEAD TO AMERICUS JUNE 23RD June 23rd, a little less than 30 days, the Grand Lodge of Masons will convene promptly at nine o'clock. The attendance is expected to be larger than in any previous year. The year has been a prosperous one and peace and harmony prevails throughout the jurisdiction; every Mason is happy and is looking forward to a glorious time at the session. The Home which has been completed from pit to dome will be dedicated and consecrated to God and Masonry at this session. Calls have been sent out to every lodge and if any lodge has failed to get them just inquire around among the past officers. In case any have failed to get their calls this will inform them that the men of the square calls you. MASONIC SCHOOL CLOSED The closing exercises of the Masonic Home and school took place on the last Thursday afternoon in the Masonic Auditorium, the principal, Miss B. E. Battles, presiding. Space forbids that we chronicle the program, but it suffices to say that is was the best in the history of the school. The principal, Miss Battles, and her corps of teachers have strenuously labored during the term to bring the school up to where it justly belonged, and we are pleased to say that their efforts were successful. The home and school stands second to none in the country. Grand Master Butler and the Masons of Georgia are to be congratulated on selecting the present management of the school.—Chrenicle. Freemasonry has always taught its initiates by symbols and emblems which should make a lasting impression on the mind and improve the life. Originally it came forth as a friend or religion, to assuage the ills and wrongs that afflicted the people in the midnight of idolatry, and now after the lapse of ages, it comes to us covered with the trophies of love and good will to man—the pride and admiration of the world. Now its wreath is the garland of love, its raiment is spotless as white as snow, its laws are tolerant and just, its purposes are holy, its escutcheon is untarnished and its history is without a blot. What a noble and sublime record to present to the world after the lapse of centuries, and what an evidence and assurance that the institution will continue with the culture of civilization and refinement until the end of time!—John W. Brown MASONIC WAGES Every faithful Craftsmrn is entitled to Masonic wages. He has received instruction by which, if necessary, he may travel into foreign countries, work and earn wages. But in a higher sense he may have wages. He may spiritualize all the Masonic instruction he has received; he may accept all the light the holy Bible imparts and live accordingly, and thus may be prepared to travel into that country from whence there is no return, and there receive a Master's wages forevermore. Indeed, if he fails in this then he falls in all. TRUST GOD Whatever obscurity, darkness, trial, suffering falls upon you; your defeats, losses, injuries; your outward state, employment, relations; what seems hard, unaccountable, severe, or, as nature might say, vexations—all these you will see as parts or constitutive elements in God's beautiful and good plan for you, and as such are to be accepted with a smile. Trust God; have an implicit faith in God, and these very things will impart the highest zest to life.—Horace Bushnell. There is a growing disposition in Texas to require a higher standard of the Worshipful Master. He should not only be well versed in the ritual, but also the laws of Masonry, and occupy a high position in the community for honesty and morality. QUALIFYING FOR THE EAST To such an extent has it become the custom to advance the Junior Warden to the West and then to the East, says The Masonic Journal, that any brother who has been honored by being elected to represent the Pinnar of Beauty in his lodge may naturally look forward to presiding in due time, over the brethren and directing the course of his lodge, if he has determined to perform his duties faithfully and acceptable, and to make his walk and conversation in the conform to the higher standards set for all worthy Masons. Such being the case during the period which is allotted to him to represent the ornamental functions of his lodge, he should remember that he will be called up. on to furnish the strength and wisdom requisite to insure the welfare and success of the brethren who have honored him by such an expression of their confidence in his ability to direct their destiny. For the most part, our Wardens do recognize this condition and understand that an obligation of preparation rests upon them, but alas, too often all they understand by this that they are to become proficient in the ritual so that they can confer the degrees correctly and gracefully. But is this what is meant by wisdom? does this make a Master of whom a lodge can be proud? Is this the ideal a Master should strive to attain? I think I hear you say, "No" in no uncertain tone. Not only should he become proficient in the ritual, which is a necessity, but he must also acquaint himself with the Masonic law and matters pertaining to lodge government, and, so as to apply this knowledge intelligently, he must, as far as possible, strive to learn something of Masonic history and Masonic tradition. In other words, he must study Masonry. Then, and then only, can his brethren point to him as a Master of whom they have a right to be proud. The question is frequently asked: "Has Freemasonry any practical utility in the present day and age! Many have come to view the fraternity as a sort of aggregation of good fellows for the promotion of fellowship among its members. It is even claimed that the obligations which we assume are mere forms without any binding effect and but relics of a past age. Such views are usually held by those who seldom attend lodge and whose only claim to membership is a receipt for dues. An old gentleman who attends lodge as often as he can and who pays his dues well in advance, said to the writer the other day: "I love Freemasonry, it saved my life." He said that while traveling in a Western State he was taken violently ill and at once became unconscious. A little Masonic pin on his vest brought him means at once and he was soon restored to health. Doubtless many similar cases can be cited which would go to prove that Freemasonry does have a practical utility and when put to test will demonstrate its far reaching influence.—Ex. The spinal treatment accorded to a Masonio "eavesdropper" in ancient times, according to Dr-Oliver, was to place him under the caves of a house in rainy weather, and to retain him there till the droppings of water ran in at the collar of his coat and out at his shoes. --- There Was a Difference. When Dr. Randall Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury, was a curate, one day at Dartford he took a Sunday school class in a neighboring parish. The subject was "King Solomon," and after the lesson he proceeded to catechise the children. "Tell me, boys," he said, "what was the difference between Solomon and other men?" No answer. "Come, come!" said the future archbishop. "Was there any difference, for instance, between King Solomon and myself?" A tiny hand went up, and a tiny voice replied, "Please, sir, Solomon was wise!"—London M. A. P. Present Tense. Gibbs—I tell you, no one can fool my wife. Dibbs—Then how did you get her?—Exchange.

The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or kill, but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreisler's "A Traveler at Forty." A Famous Old English Church. The Church of St. Botolph in Boston, England, is a long, low, decorated building, with a high perpendicular tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern, locally known as Boston Stump. The tower is 300 feet high. The light and spacious interior has very lofty arches resting on slender pillars. The church is said to have as many doors as 'days' in the week, as many windows as weeks in the year, as many pillars as months in the year and as many steps up to its tower as days in the year.

A correspondent sends to the British Weekly a rare bit of English. It was written by a woman in excusing her tardiness in answering an inquiry that had been addressed to her: "I would have written before, but I have been sick with a dog bite on the arm. The man that owns the sawmills' dog bit me in the road." The excuse was accepted as sufficient. 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 stumpedes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good coking coal and of the limestone requisite for fixing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture plg iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut.

Phone 3053 Alabama's Iron Orms A TRIAL Farm and Garden COMBATING HOG CHOLERA. Campaign Against the Scourge Conducted In Several States. The department of agriculture during the past year has been conducting campaigns in Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska to control the contagious disease of hogs known as "hog cholera" by means of anti-hog cholera serum and farm quarantine. In one county (Pettis county, Mo.), where there was a loss of 18 per cent in 1911 and 25.6 per cent in 1912 of all hogs raised, there was only a loss of 14.7 per cent up to November, 1913. This decrease was due to the use of the serum, which, although not used there by the department's agents until August, 1913, materially reduced the loss. About 60,000 hogs were raised during the past year, and of the 10,000 that died of the hog cholera only about 1,000 were lost after the active use of serum and quarantine measures were inaugurated. In every county where these measures were employed, even though begun after the disease had continued its ravages for some time, there was less loss from hog cholera than in either of the two preceding years. In addition to its great function as a preventive, it has been found that the anti-hog cholera serum would cure a large proportion of hogs in the early stages of the disease and reider them immune after recovery. However, if hogs are not treated by this serum from 75 to 100 per cent of all affected herds die. This serum, so far as is known, is the only thing that will prevent the disease. Of hogs actually sick when treated, the department's inspectors lost but 25 per cent during last summer. Of well hogs in diseased herds 2.8 per cent died after being treated, and of hogs in exposed herds less than 1 per cent died after being inoculated with the serum. In an infected herd there is always a certain proportion of hogs that are well. The inspector examines the hogs when he arrives, takes the temperature of all hogs in the herd and separates the slick from the well. The temperature is an indication of the slickness. The temperature of a slick HOG IN FIRST STAGES OF DISEASE hog, unless the hog is near death, will run above 104 degrees and sometimes as high as 107 or 108 degrees F. The department in initiating its campaign against the devastating hog disease has only been able to commence in a few of the districts where the cholera was the most widespread and where the active co-operation of the state was offered in enforcing the ordinary quarantine measures, etc. The object of the department has been to endeavor to control the disease and if possible to eliminate it from the country. To secure this end the best efforts of the farmer himself are necessary. The campaign against this devastating sickness during 1013 was planned in the territory selected along three lines. First.-The education and organization of the farmers in the districts selected, to be carried out primarily by the state college. Second.—The enforcement of sanitation and restrictive regulations by the state veterinarian. Third.—Active supervision by the bureau of animal industry of the department and the inoculation of diseased herds and exposed herds with the antihog cholera serum. Hog cholera is caused by a germ that exists in the blood. It is an organism apparently so small that the most powerful microscopes do not show it. However, it is easy to demonstrate its presence by inoculating a small part of the blood from a sick hog into a well one, which produces the hog cholera. Hog cholera is a disease which seems to be stopped to a degree by the frosts of winter, although frost cannot be said to stop a case after it has taken hold of its victim. However, it seems to prevent the rapid spread of the disease. The result is that in the springtime the affection is as a rule at its lowest ebb, but increases rapidly from that time until fall. Varnish Trees Free. At the government experimental station, Chico, Cal., are 30,000 seedlings of the Chinese wood oil tree, ready for distribution to farmers and others who are willing to experiment with this tree, the fruit of which produces tung oil, one of the most valuable of the so called "drying oils" used in making fine varnishes. More than 5,000,000 gallons of tung oil, worth between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, are imported into the United States every year. The trees can be grown on poor soil almost anywhere that the temperature does not drop far below freezing. They begin to yield at five or six years of age, and it is estimated that a profit of $10 an acre can be made out of them. Buying a Title. Attainment of titles by corrupt means is no modern invention, at witness the following cogent postscript from a letter of the celebrated "Steenle" (Duke of Buckingham), to his majesty King James I., printed in Dalrymple's memorials: "Here is a gentleman called Sir Francis Leake, who hath likewise a Philosopher's stone; 'tis worth but Eight Thousand; he will give it me if you will make him a baron; I will, if you command not the contrary, have his patent ready to sign when I come down. He is of good religion, well born, and hath a good estate. I pray you burn this letter."—London Spectator. How Leugers Got Their Name On the authority of the best lexicographers "ledger" is an adaptation of a once common word, "ligger," signifying any large book suited better for lying on a desk than for carrying about. Sometimes this was applied to a large account book, cartillary or the like, frequently a great brevival for use in church, as distinct from a "portas," or small one, carried by a "book bosom priest." "Coucher" is another old synonym for "ligger," the foregoer of the now general "ledger." England's Colonies. In Australia only about 117 persons in 10,000 are other than white in color. Canada is nearly as white, but in New Zealand the number of Maoris and halfbreeds reduces the proportions of whites to below 94 per cent. In South Africa the 1,250,000 Africanders and Europeans live side by side with 78 per cent of colored races, while in India the European element, including the army, officials, merchants, women and children, amounts to only six persons in each 10,000. He Epoled Them. Mrs. Odell had a caller one afternoon and invited her to remain to dinner. The invitation was accepted, and the hostess said: "I am so glad you can stay, Mrs. Parker. There is to be a joke on Mr. Odell. He is always criticising my cooking. Today his mother came in, and I persuaded her to make some cakes. Won't it be funny when he finds fault with the cakes and I tell him that his mother made them herself?" When the cakes were served at dinner that evening Mr. Odell exclaimed: ner that evening Mr. Odell exclaimed: "My dear Maude, you are certainly becoming a perfect cook. These cakes are as fine as my mother makes."—National Monthly. Disease Field Laboratory English is the sea language and French is the dinner table language, and we cannot understand the dinner menu drawn up in German (as the kaiser decrees) instead of French. We tried in Smollett's time to translate hors d'oeuvres into "whets," and later on the attempt has been made with "appetzers," which suggest only "cocktails." "Fat liver paste" has been suggested as an equivalent for "pate de fole gras." But none of these will serve. The dish with its compounds must be disguised by a polite tongue, and there is much difference between the delicate velling of the French and the dreadful frankness of the German.—Pall Mall Gazette. Keep the Spade Bright. If the hired man carelessly puts the spade away without cleaning it you may have a hard time cleaning it next time you go out to dig. But if you have been careful to put cinders in a nice pile not more than one minute will be required to clean the spade and make it as bright as a new dollar. Simply dig in the cinders for a minute or so, shovelling them about as you do gravel and cement when mixing concrete, and the job is done. The cinders should be wet, as they are sure to be if exposed to the weather. We learned this while shovelling cinders into a post hole when building a fence. It works like a charm—Baltimore American.

C.JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. In Memoriam COL. JOHN H. DEVEAUX. June 9, 1909. The recent order of the recorder to prevent boys from playing base ball in the streets will no doubt doubt cause the Negro boys of the city much anxiety as there are but few lots which are available to them on which to play the national game. We are fully aware of the fact that in many instances where children use the streets to play ball they are, no doubt, a source of trouble to some of the inhabitants in the neighborhood and also perhaps a danger to the smaller children, yet it is a problem of much moment to Negro parents to find a suitable place for their children to play other than the streets. The have no playgrounds set aside by the city and therefore their only place to amuse themselves is in the streets. In view of the recorders' recent order, it is very necessary, more than ever before that play grounds be set aside for Negro children that they may have some place to enjoy themselves where they may be free from police interference. Ever mindful of our duty to touch the life of our people in all of its phases, the Tribune does not hesitate at this time to call the attention of our people to a carelessness of theirs which is indeed widespread and which brings to them not only financial loss in a good many instances but unnecessary annoyances and insults as well. We refer to the carelessness with which our people handle receipts given them for sums paid out by them on incurred debts. Now, according to a distinguished lexicographer, a receipt is the written acknowledgement of the taking or receiving of anything. When moneys are paid out on any standing indebtedness, one should demand a receipt for same, in order to safeguard himself against future annoyances or claims concerning the old debt. While the great majority of our people seem to know this, yet how few of them have a safe repository within which to keep all of their receipts properly filed for future reference We know it to be a fact in a large number of instances, that once a receipt is given, any place, be it pants pocket, vest pocket, dress pocket, the drawer of some piece of furniture, the shelves of some room or what not, may serve as the permanent abode of such receipt. The same carelessness is shown in the handling of other receipts. Too often our people find themselves unable to assemble all of their receipts when there is need for them to do so. This inability to show receipts for all moneys paid, leaves one completely at the mercy of his creditor who, if he is in the least unscrupulous, or dishonest, will seize this opportunity to make a few extra dollars. In the matter of keeping receipts and having tab on them, there is excellent opportunity for improvement among our people. We are a too poorly paid people to have to pay more money than we owe on any debt. While we should see to it that we get the proper receipt for all moneys paid out, at the same time we must know that these receipts are of no value if they are to be thrown around carelessly or lost. By all means let us hold to our receipts, in so doing, it will be ours to know just what we owe the other fellow as much so as he him self does. To note that another great sea disaster, the sinking of the Empress of Ireland resulting in the loss of one thousand souls, follows closely upon the heels of the calamities which befell the Titanic and Monroe, brings the deepest sorrow to the hearts of all of us. Such disasters as these brings not only grief to the country or countries between which the ill-fated vessel may be plying, but to the entire civilized world. Hence today, not only England and Canada bow their head in grief over the loss of the Empress of Ireland and her priceless cargo of human souls, but Germany, France, Russia, Brazil. The United States and all other countries as well. And now that another terrible marine disaster has added itself to the already too long list of sea mishaps, the usual aftermath of hot-house legislation and discussion anent safety devices and the like for sea travel is on. We believe in the adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If double hulls, bulk heads, displacement devices and the like are conducive to safety in sea travel, then we see no reason why some sweeping legislation of an international nature, requiring all inter ocean vessels to be equipped with such safety devices, should not be made. Each of the one thousand lives lost in the Empress of Ireland was of a priceless value to some one. It was a gem—millions of dollars spent in the proper equipment of inter ocean vessels is not money spent foolishly if it results in the saving or safeguarding of a single human soul. The marine boards of the various countries will do well if they will do their most effective work, if possible, before a disaster rather than after it. Nailing up the stable after the horse has escaped is of little value. We would like to see international marine legislation so stringent that vessels shall be tied to their docks until every safety device known to ship builders is applied to each and every one of them. Make Hay While the Sun Shines. "When my boy returns from school, he will have no need to worry about what he is going to do. I have looked out for that. A position is now waiting for him." These words were expressed only a few days ago by one of the most influential and progressive colored citizens of Dallas. This is a man who has thoroughly mastered the lessons that presents conditions in this country are endeavoring to teach every Negro. He has set an invaluable example for every man of his race throughout this country. However, he is not alone in this for there are others who can say the same. But the number is shamefully too small. This idea must be seized and put into operation by colored people in general without delay, if we hope to survive in this country—yes, if we expect to hold what we already have, to say nothing of further advancement. This is an issue imperative in its import, and must be met; there is no getting around it. Now is a fine time to grasp this lesson and especially for men and women who are fathers and mothers of children, as we pursue with eager interest the army of young people coming out from the various institutions of learning to take their places in communities where nearly every door for a decent and honest livelihood is closed in their faces. Thousands of Negro fathers and mothers all over this country are making heroic efforts—efforts by heroic sacrifices, to have their children trained for useful citizenship, but they must learn now that they cannot stop these; they must without delay put aside their little differences, and unite all their energy and resources that they may open a way for these worthy sons and daughters. Again, it is a fine time to stamp indelibly upon these young people that they must drop their spectacular butterfly wings, open their eyes and look conditions squarely in the face, and go forward like brave soldiers completely armed to meet them. This careless good-time idea too general of the race must go. It must be learned now that the time for our race of being fed with a spoon has passed. We must be men. While the iron is hot is the time to strike.—Express. St. Benedict's Church. On Monday June 1st, the Catholic hall of St. Benedict's parish, at 36th and Harden streets, was the pretty scene of the closing exercises of St. Mary's school. Over 400 people composed the audience. Every number of the program prepared for the occlusion was rendered with much credit. Many encores were given to the little performers—teachers and children received repeatedly great applause. The strenuous efforts of Misses Gertrude Davis, Carlotta Green and Carrie Elliott, the devoted teachers of this school have been crowned with the greatest success. We hope that the same appreciative audience will be present at the Beach Institute for the exercises of St. Benedict's school which takes place on Tuesday, June 16th, at 8:30 p.m. St. Anthony's school, West End, invites the public to be also present at its commencement exercises next Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Mrs. Bonnie Miller and Annie Foster, promise you a good and recreative afternoon spent with the children of St. Anthony's school. On Pentecost Sunday, there was a beautiful gathering of members and friends in St. Benedict's Church at the three morning services held at 7, 8 and 10:30 a.m. The sanctuary was brilliantly lighted and the altars decorated with many and various flowers for the occasion. More than a hundred men and women, colored and white approached the communion rail for the reception of the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist. To complete the festivities of the day, the administration of the sacrament of Confirmation should have taken place, but was omitted; on account of sickness, Right Reverend Bishop Keiley had to postpone this ceremony. Next Sunday being Trinity Sunday, the schedule for the divine service will be changed. Henceforth, every Sunday until the fall, the first mass will be said at 6:30 a.m., the second mass at 7:30 a.m. and the last mass at 9:30 a.m. There will be no more evening service. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will follow immediately last mass. Notice to the Public. Notice is hereby given that the Mr. C. J. Walker who is now in your city masquerading as the husband of the Madam C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, Ind., is an imposter of the rankest kind. He is the husband of Cora Walker, of Louisville, Ky., who he recently deserted. I simply allowed him to handle my preparations, as any other ordinary agent, as he and his wife were in a similar business in Louisville, Ky., and had made a complete failure with their preparations. I understand that he is trying to sell a recipe claiming to be mine, claiming it was patented in Washington, D. C., in his name, which is an absolute falsehood. Any one buying such a recipe from the said C. J. Walker and attempts to force it upon the people as mine will find themselves in trouble as I will prosecute them to the full extent of the law. My preparations are patented and incorporated under the name of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacture Company of Indianapolis, Ind. Mme. C. J. Walker. Social Happenings. On Friday night May 15th, the Harmony Athletic and Social Club was organized at the residence of Mr. King Callen, Huntingdon street, east. The following officers were elected: Morse Callen, president; Fred M. Taylor, vice-president; Clarence Smith, treasurer; Julius Pickens, secretary. Morss Callen was made trainer of the ball teams: Fred Taylor trainer of track team. The club has some good and promising talent. All boys over the age of 16 are welcome to join this club at the meeting Friday night, at Mr. Callen's home 519 Huntingdon street. Mrs. Thomas Taylor gave a beautiful surprise party on Monday night, June 1st, at her home 510 Hartridge St., in honor of her daughter, Miss Clifford Allen. The young folks enjoyed their selves dancing until a late hour while Miss Mildred Evans presided over the victrola. Delightful refreshments were served. Those present were Misses Anna Tucker, May Steward, Clinton Dingle, Winnie White, Ophelia Lee, Romenia Gillard, Harriet Jones, Edith Bythewood, Florence Erwin and Clifford Allen, Mrs. Arthur Dilworth; Messrs.

Mrs. Anna Baker assisted Mrs. Taylor in serving. . Closing Exercises The closing exercises of Miss Alice J. Brown's school will take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next. Monday and Tuesday nights at the Mehic hall, Joe and Paulsen Ss and Wednesday night, graduating xoises at St. John Baptist Church, Hartridge street. Addresses by Rvr R H. Singleton and Prof John McIntosh. 100 We hurry forth From the icy north, A swift and silent band, And ride the blast In numbers vast When the storm king gives command We flutter down From the mountain's crown And mast o'er the frozen plains, And we dance and leap To the winds that sweep Through the city streets and lanes. We bring fresh joys To the girls and boys Who laugh at the winter's chill, And we make a bed For the flying sled As we pile on the coasting hill. Point For Boy Scouts. Point For Bay Scouts. When visiting my former regiment the other day, says Baden-Powell, I found that several novel ideas were in force in the physical training of the young soldiers. One was that of teaching them to walk along a plank set up on edge at a height of about five feet above the ground. To walk along this for about fifteen feet was the test of balance, and after a little practice there was not one who could not do it, although at first trial it looked hopeless. It might be thought to be rather a waste of time to instruct soldiers in walking the tight rope, but most curious results have been obtained from it. Not only does a lad become more well balanced, confident and plucky, but it has been found that he also develops very rapidly into a good shot. One old soldier, who was a particularly bad shot, was sent through a course of tight rope walking, and he soon gained thereby the power of controlling his nerves. Making Sleighbells. The sleighbells we see are round with an iron "jingle" in them. Now, you know that this little jingle could not have been put through the holes of the bell, so perhaps you would like to know how the bell is made. It is made by a man called an iron founder. First he puts the jingle inside a little ball of mud, which is just the shape and size of the metal ball. Then he makes a mold the shape of the outside of the ball. The ball of mud with the jingle in it is put inside the mold; then hot metal is poured in and fills the space between the ball and the mold. But when the mold is taken off the bell will not ring. As soon as the dirt inside the mold is shaken out the jingle is still in the bell and it will ring now. It took many years to think how to make a sleighbell. Cerberus. In Greek fable Cerberus is the three headed dog that watches outside the entrance to hades. Some writers assert that he has fifty heads, but generally he is said to have three, and three snakes are twined about his deck. His cave is on the farther side of the dark river Styx, where Charon, the ferryman of the dead, lands the shades. Cerberus is supposed to welcome all entering hades, but to seize all those seeking to escape. About Common Spices. The nutmeg tree is a native of the Moluccas. The ginger plant grows from two to three feet high. A preserve is made from young roots of ginger. Ten varieties of plants are known to produce black pepper. The red pepper plant belongs to the deadly nightshade family. Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tree of the laurel family. A Joke on John. "I can't do this example," pouted John. "You can do anything you want to do," replied his pa. "Even water may be carried in a sleeve, if you only wait." "How long must I wait?" asked John. "Till it freezes," coolly answered Pa. Ma's Mistake. "Is it wrong to smoke, ma?" "Yes, dear; it is a bad habit." "I know some one that got rich smoking." "Who is it?" "Jim's pa. He smokes ham."

S., declares that it is only a question of application to change lead into gold. He says, that while now we can only work with electricity at 100.000 volts, it is only a matter of perfecting the method to be able to work at ten times that voltage, when the baser metals can be changed into the more precious. In other words, electricity, when brought to its highest efficiency and application, is the real philosopher's stone for which the chemists of the middle ages searched so long—London Spectator. peep?

(signed) EMANUEL WILLIAMSON HOUSTOUN. In Memoriam In memoriam of my husband, ROBERT BENJAMIN HEGGS, departed this life June 3, 1913. By Mrs. AddieTolbert Heggs. "Why wouldst thou leave me Oh! Dearest love one. And join the saints on high; My greatest hope and earthly joys Have gone beyond the deep-blue sky. "How sad my joys of life have fled, When you left my heart in pain; To join the celestial host on high, Til we all meet again. "Three years of happiness and joy, May I recall the time, When you and I walked as one, Through the journey of life sublime "A year ago I felt the sting. Of death's cold parting hand; An angel came and bore you away, Beyond life's golden strand. "In bitter grief I bowed my head, Beneath death's cruel blow, And tried to teach my aching-heart, That God had willed it so. "A year ago, yet still I sigh, For one whom I cannot see, A year ago, yet still I grieve For what can never be. "I sadly miss thee in early morn, The smiles that made home bright, The same as do I miss your voice, When evening curtains night. "And on your grave sweet flowers of loye, Shall live and bloom and die. Yet still the fountain of my tears In grief cannot be dried. "For oh! my poor, weak human heart. Is crushed beneath the blow, That took my love one from our home And heart a year ago. "Oh! thou deceased I'll ever cherish, Your thoughts, your deeds and traits Where congregations will never break up. Where we shall get our reward; Till that glad day. I now you tell In memory of our beloved consin, ROBT. B. HEGGS, who departed this life June 3, 1913. Calm is thy slumber as an infant's sleep, But thou shalt wake no more to toil and ween: Thine is a perfect rest secure and deep, Until we meet again before His throne. Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own, Until we know even as we are known— Good night! Mrs. Eva Victory, Miss Madeline E. Victory. Barrie's Critic J. M. Barrie some years ago was persuaded to take the chair at a Burns celebration in Scotland. He was extremely silent and stole away at the earliest opportunity. Next week appeared in the National Observer a humorous article entitled "Mr. Barrie In the Chair," in which Mr. Barrie's lack of social tact was held up to ridicule. Many people thought the writer had gone too far and protested. But the author of the article was Mr. Barrie himself. Tricking the Hens Chinamen have a way of tricking hens so that, they assist in the hatching of fish. Fish eggs are carefully placed in an eggshell, which is then sealed and placed under an unsuspecting hen. In a few days the spawn is warmed into life, and the contents of the shell are then cast into a shallow pool, where the sunshine completes the work Peculiarity of Snow The water which will allay our burning thirst augments it when congealed into snow, so that it is stated by explorers of the arctic regions that the natives "prefer enduring the utmost extremity of thirst rather than attempt to remove it by eating snow." Yet if the snow be melted it becomes drinkable water. Nevertheless, although if melted before entering the mouth it assuages thirst like other water, when melted in the mouth it has the opposite effect. To render this paradox more striking we have only to remember that ice, which melts more slowly in the mouth, is very efficient in allaying thirst.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Enlightening Comparison.

An engaged girl should write to her personal friends to tell them the news, while her mother writes to older relatives and friends. Letters of congratulation in answer to these should be written as soon as possible. Young girls do not write to their men friends to congratulate them on an engagement. They either congratulate them personally or not at all. It is considered extremely bad form for engaged couples to be too demonstrative in public. They should try to be as natural and unaffected as possible, so as to avoid causing embarrassment to others. The engagement ring should always be worn once it has been placed in position. It is useful as a friendly warning to any unwary and oversusceptible admirers. Those who invite engaged couples to their houses should make a point of sending them down to dinner together and of doing all in their power to show that they recognize and approve of the engagement. A girl may dance practically as often as she pleases with her fiance, although, of course, she will do well not to forget entirely all her old friends in this respect. It is the girl's privilege to ask any friends she likes to act as her bridesmales, but it is an understood thing that some relative of the bridegroom shall be among the number. Friends of a bridegroom who are unacquainted with the bride's family send their wedding presents to him, and he forwards them to the bride's mother, so that they may be on view with the other presents on the wedding day. Etiquette Notes. If you return to live in a neighborhood again after a long absence call on all your friends without waiting for them to call on you first. If you are inviting friends who have visitors staying with them to your house it is usual to include the visitors in the invitation except in the case of a dinner, when you need not necessarily do so. It is not necessary to call on them first, as they are only asked out of compliment to their hostess. If at a dinner party there is one extra lady the hostess generally goes in by herself, following behind the last couple. A hostess should always allow a visitor to enter the carriage before her when going for a drive. When an engagement is announced write your congratulations or give them in person to the prospective bride and bridegroom as soon as possible. When In a Street Car. Upon entering a street car those who know how to behave will take a seat quietly, without trying to attract attention or in any manner making themselves conspicuous. Names should not be mentioned; gossip should be strictly avoided; a pleasant acknowledgment of small courtesies, such as a move to permit of passing and all those small things that in themselves seem of no importance, but in the aggregate speak loudly of the perfection of good breeding or the lack of it, as the case may be. Inquisitive curiosity, talking over private affairs, making unpleasant remarks within hearing of those talked about—these all show the observer that politeness, which is etiquette, is unknown in that quarter. Entering the Motor. If a gentleman is his own chauffeur he may get in, offer his hand to the lady who accompanies him and help her into the car, wrapping her with the lap robe, etc., before taking his own seat. Different cases require different methods of meeting circumstances, and it is not well bred to haggle over such small things. Accept whatever is done without comment and be pleasant over any little mishap that may seem different. After Dinner Coffee. At a family meal the after dinner coffee may be served before leaving the table, but when guests are present it is customary to have the coffee passed on a tray after the ladies have returned to the drawing room. This is done, as a general rule, in most families. The coffee is in small cups, with coffee spoons laid on the saucers. A sugar bowl and tongs accompany the service. Moderate Praise. It is quite right to praise where praise is due. But don't overdo it, as the man did who, when praising a preacher for the blessings received through his ministrations, said, "Before you came to this place we cared for neither God nor the devil, but through listening to your splendid preaching we have learned to love them both." Signing One's Name. The prefix should not be signed with one's name unless the person to whom one writes does not know whether she be married or single. If the writer is married she should sign her Christian and surname and below her signature or in the lower left.hand corner of the sheet write her husband's name, with the prefix "Mrs." Essential For Success of Fashionable Gowns. L MOIRE AND SILK GOWN. Shapely arms and shoulders are important in carrying off the style creations of the season. This is, of course, partly due to the sloping shoulder line and the cut of sleeves. A beautiful back is most essential, as the elaborate trimmings on the rear of gowns require a carriage of some distinction to carry them off well. In many cases the back of the gown is the most important. In the case illustrated here it displays the deep plats on the two tiered tunic, which is part of this gown of moire and silk. PRETTY THINGS FOR BABY. Dainty Trifles Suitable For the Little One's Layette. Gift articles for the baby's layette are often in demand. This season trifles of the sort shown in the shops are especially pretty and dainty. Many of them may be easily duplicated by the clever needlewoman. The bibs illustrated here are cases in point. The upper one is framed in a double row of crochet lace. The 5 BIBS FOR BABY. lower one is of handkerchief linen, with hand tucks and embroidery. It is bordered and inset with valenciennes lace. The band passes around the waist and is fastened by the ribbons. Armlets for that wee little baby whose sleeves never will stay up can be bought in the shops. They are of narrow quilled satin and have tiny ribbon rosettes upon them, fashioned in such a way as to represent the petals of a daisy. There's a little yellow center in each rosette, which completes the illusion. There are little shoes made of the Irish and princess laces. Some new and very attractive little boots of quilted sat edged with swansdown are seen. Some cunning little kimonos are of Japanese cotton crape in bird, stork and butterfly patterns. They are long kimonos—that is as long as babies' kimonos could be—and they are lined with lawn or silkalline. Wall Paper Cleaner. To clean wall paper take one heaping cupful of sifted flour, one tablespoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of kerosene, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of ammonia and one-half cupful of warm water. Mix in a small kettle. Boil until the flour is thoroughly scalded and the moisture is used up, stirring constantly. Now take it out and knead it with the hands, and it is ready for use. Rub the wall paper with balls of this rubbery substance as you would clean paper with an eraser. Cookery Points Cabbage For Salads. There are so many ways of using cold boiled cabbage for warming up in some way that it is not often enough thought of as salad material. But cold cabbage with a French dressing makes a good salad, and the coarse outer green leaves of new cabbage, which would not be good in the uncooked salad, can be advantageously used in this way. It may be shredded and used with beets and other cooked vegetables with a cooked dressing as a salad. The soft creamy dressings are favored with cabbage salad, but French dressing with cream is of all the most quickly put together and comparatively little known. To make this put the seasonings of salt and pepper with the oil, add the cream in about equal quantities and then the vinegar, drop by drop, stirring rapidly. This is a little quicker method than dropping the cream drop by drop into French dressing, and if carefully done the cream will not curdle. It is delicious and thicker than vinegar and cream simply. Prettier and more elaborate salads can be made with cabbage than those who regard this as a vugar vegetable imagine. It may be mixed with dice of celery and then garnished with either minced boiled beef or grated carrot, or both, these being put on it so as to form a cross or in stripes. Shredded green peppers added to cabbage make it seem a little more elegant as a salad, and a teaspoonful of freshly grated horseradish sprinkled thoroughly through shredded cabbage before a cream dressing is added makes it a most excellent spring salad. The bacon dressings are homely, but bits of cold bacon scattered through the salad may be highly acceptable. For compound salads, which are salads made of little heaps or molds of different colors—green, red, yellow, white or any shade preferable—the cabbage, scaled and made creamy looking, then crisped, is serviceable. Cookery Kinks. Cooking apricots and dried'peaches together? Cooking a few bits of orange peel with baked apples or pears? Combining in a salad cold cooked diced beets and carrots dressed with mayonnaise dressing? Putting a sprig of mint in the water in which potatoes are boiling to give them an odd and delicious flavor? Serving salmon with slices of orange instead of lemon? Making strawberry frosting for cake by simply mashing five-or six red berries and mixing with confectioners' sugar until stiff enough to spread? Using equal parts of cold boiled macaroni, cooked diced carrots and canned or fresh peas to make a novel salad? Preserving Eggs. When eggs are plentiful and can be bought cheaply obtain from a reliable source new laid eggs, placing these in jars. Obtain a tin of water glass sufficient for a great many eggs, which dissolve according to instruction on tin and pour over the eggs, tie down, and when eggs are dear these can be used for all cooking purposes and will be found to poach or boll like fresh ones. When taking out of the liquid rinse in warm water and prick with a needle those for boiling to prevent cracking in the process. Take out of preserving liquid only as required for use. e Spanish Rice. For a meat substitute, rice cooked in this way cannot be excelled. It is also a great time and fuel saver. Into a buttered casserole put one-half cupful washed rice, add one-half cupful grated cheese, five small onions sliced thinly, one large cupful of canned tomatoes, two, tablespoonfuls butter, two tablespoonfuls salt, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, one cupful hot water and, lastly, two tablespoonfuls of minced pickles or olives. Bake until rice is tender in moderate oven, usually one hour. Spaghetti In Chafing Dish. Cook the spaghetti until tender, and it can be broken up or not as one prefers, although it takes an expert to serve it when not cut up. When the spaghetti has been drained add to it one tablespoonful butter, a cupful of milk in which has been stirred a tablespoonful of flour, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until it bolls, then allow to simmer a few minutes and then stir in tomato sauce that has been made with strained tomatoes in which a bit of onion has been cooked. Serve with the dish hot. Substitute For Whipped Cream. Put about two quarts of fresh buttermilk into a close muslin bag, with a pinch of salt. Hang it up, with a basin under it, and leave for twenty-four hours to let the water drip out. Turn the curds on to a plate, sweeten to taste, add a few drops of vanilla essence or other flavoring and whip up. Economy In Coffee Making. Save the coffee grounds, boil them up in fresh water and strain. Boll the liquid and use it instead of water when making fresh coffee. This is done in France and improves the coffee, besides being very economical, as less coffee is needed. Foxy Fox. Mrs. Fox—Great news. John. Our son is engaged to Miss Golder. Fox—What!

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-shl 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 Mount the Ashes Hewitt—Gruet uses very appropriate language, don't you think so?

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 "Alligator" 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.

There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor. Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze. Making It Last. 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. The Real Thing. Mrs. Knicker-Is your husband hard to get along with? Mrs. Bocker-Very. If I give him a poor dinner be wants a divorce and if I give him a good din obbying.-New York Mexican Hata. A hat such as is worn by Mexicans may cost anywhere from 5 cents to $500. The better ones weigh from six to eight pounds and carry many dollars' worth of silver and gold trimming. The Sleeperless Seven. "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. They were a rousing majority," said the hollow eyed juron, with a generous attempt to be facetious—Chicago Tribune. YOUNG BROS.

AIR LINE ILROAD OF THE SOUTH Allowing milk or cream to freeze injures its quality and texture, and such milk or cream will not test as high as it would if it had been separated while warm. After being separated the cream should be stored so that it will not freeze, while the can should be covered while it is being taken to market. He usually gets the best results from his dairy cows who makes a somewhat close study of the individual characteristics and tendencies of the several members of his herd. The information gained in this manner should be of practical benefit in the adjustment of the cow's ration to her needs and in milking her and giving her other care. In the midst of all of the interest and energy directed to the production of tilled crops it is quite natural to overlook the worth of a first class pasture, and this is true whether the same is to be used for cattle, sheep or hogs. We need a revival of interest in pastures and in conditions which make for the largest measure of pasture efficiency and production. While the most valuable portion of the public domain has been taken up by homesteaders, there is still sufficient land not yet entered to furnish if million people with homesteads of 100 acres each. It is true these quarter sections are at a considerable distance from shipping points and settlements, but they are fertile and will produce good crops if properly handled. It is a very good plan for the farmer who has been sticking pretty close by his work to attend the neighboring sale no matter whether he wants to buy or not. For the same reason his good wife should take in the sewing circle or the quilting bee. It means a change and relaxation, and both these conditions are necessary if either man or woman is to be in best condition for work. A scientist in Chicago has discovered that the inroads of tuberculosis in monkeys may be stopped by placing the little animals out of doors, but providing them warm quarters in which to sleep. Human beings suffering from pulmonary complaints ought to gather a suggestion from the above facts. There is a lot of the outdoors, and fresh air is the cheapest medicine under heaven. The 1913 fruit crop of the Grand valley, in Colorado, is said to be the direct result of using smudge pots and the production therewith of sufficient artificial heat to offset the cold snaps of last spring. Three hundred thousand smudge pots were called into use, and these were kept burning by a large army of volunteers. The value of the fruit crops saved in this manner is estimated at $3,000,000. Figures that have been gathered by the federal department of agriculture show that there are 2,000,000,000 acres of land in the United States and Alasaka. Of this amount it is estimated that about 60 per cent, or 1,200,000,000 acres, is tillable. This includes all land that can be possibly brought under tillage with the aid of clearing, drainage and irrigation. About 21 per cent is rated as worthless for any kind of agricultural use, while 19 per cent is fit only for grazing purposes. At $3 a box on eastern markets oranges are cheaper than they have been in a good many years. With the fruit running 176 to the box, this means that the price is 20 cents a dozen. With oranges so cheap, some housewives who are readers of these notes may be interested in the following recipe for a tried orange marmalade: Slice one dozen navel oranges and four lemons very thin without peeling. To each pound of fruit add one pint of cold water and let stand for twenty-four hours; then boil slowly until tender. Allow this to stand until the next day; then weigh and to each pound of fruit and juice add one pound of granulated sugar and cook until the mixture jellies. The price paid for butter to patrons of creameries in the dairy states slumped from 37 to 26 cents during the month of January. This is a greater as well as a more sudden drop than has occurred for years. While the drop may be in part explained by the admission of small quantities of butter duty free from other countries, it is doubtless more fully accounted for by the fact that butter speculators and storage men who bought butter all last season at prices considerably above what they would have paid had none of the product been put in storage found themselves loaded to the guards with spring not far away and were compelled from the very force of circumstances to unload some of their holdings. Gummosis, a disease or affection that has played havoc in a good many cherry orchards, seems in most cases to be caused by injury or other unfavorable conditions, such as being bark bound, excessive freezing and sun scald, which is the result of alternate thawing and freezing. The disease may be checked by spraying with the concentrated lime-sulphur mixture before the buds start to grow, while in cases where the disease is due to the tree being bark bound the trouble may be modified by slitting the bark in four or five places up and down the trunk. This will cause the bark to expand and will make possible a freer circulation of sap. The varieties of cherries that seem most susceptible to damage from gummosis are the Royal Anne, Bing and Lambert. 1930 The great suffrage parade in Washington can have among its ranks of distinguished and interesting women none who has made a greater impression on the public than has Miss Rosalie Jones of New York. General Rosalie's famous hike to Washington, in which she and her associates displayed pluck and endurance that won the reluctant admiration of even the most determined of the antisuffragists, will not soon be forgotten. With her little army she has made the march from New York to Albany twice, while the march from New York to Washington was made once. The novel thing about Miss Jones' enthusiasm for woman's suffrage is that her mother is an equally well known and ardent antisuffragist. If she cared for society Miss Jones might be a leader in the New York and Newport smart set, for her family is both wealthy and distinguished. Miss Jones, however, has been quoted as saying that fashionable society bores her. The family has a town house in New York, but since the death of her father, which occurred recently, she spends most of her time with her mother at their country place on Long Island. Personally Miss Jones is a versatile and talented young woman. She admits having several hobbles. One of them is the collection of book plates. She is an artist of some skill and a clever amateur bookbinder. Fond of books, history is of especial interest to her. In the fall, when the New York legislature, which is to vote for the suffrage amendment in 1915, is to be elected. Miss Jones expects to again take an active part in suffrage work, working for the election of candidates favorable to the cause. WINDOW BOXES. Timely and Attractive Finishes to Windows and Porches. Flower boxes make attractive additions to the decoration of porches, windows, arbors, etc. The demand for these has brought about a great variety. Study any one type of these numerous flower boxes and it will be found to be thoroughly practical and within the reach of the modest pocketbook. A few sturdy geranium plants for the upright bloomers and the hardy, much enduring variegated vincas, the ivy leafed geranium or trilling pelargonium and glossy green perlwinkles and ivies may form the nucleus of the simplest or the most elaborate flower box. Other bloomers and trailers may be added as expert knowledge of requirements and indifference to cost may allow, but for general use, under unfavorable conditions, there are few plants more acceptable than the hardy varieties mentioned for continuing year after year and serving for inside decoration when freezing weather checks their growth and beauty out of doors. Consider the fact that fine varieties of sturdy, free blooming geraniums and any of the different varieties of trailers mentioned may be bought for 10 cents each or probably less by the dozen and that very few will be required to fill a long box as they all grow rapidly in rich soil and will soon begin to crowd their space. Then consider the fact that any of these plants may be propagated with amazing rapidity by simply nipping off the overgrowth of geranium branches and the trailers that are reaching far beyond their prescribed limits and tucking them beneath the old plants in the moist, rich soil. As the slips and cuttings are propagated in the closely crowded boxes other boxes may be made ready to receive them when well rooted and, with one or two of the large plants that are beginning to crowd, may give the newly started box the appearance of having been long established. Safety Shoe Lace Knots. You need never fall downstairs over a trailing shoe lace if you use "Egyptian" knots. Make a tie and begin the bow in the ordinary way, but before you pull down the loops to tighten the finished knot take one loop and one end and pass them through the opening between the flat tie and the not yet tightened bow. Then draw the loops out and the bow will close down securely. A HANDSOME AFTERNOON GOWN. The wearing of roman stripes pleases the smart women. The demand for something different inspires the designers to combine materials of every variety. Several seasons have passed since striped silks have occupied a prominent position among the fashions, but this year finds them reinstated. The new weaves show a wonderful blending of colors, some designs emphasizing the brilliant reds, blues, yellows and greens, while others combine the softer, darker tones. The stripes vary in width from narrow pin stripes to those measuring two inches in diameter. These handsome silks are allied with plain colors, and costumes of exceptional smartness are evolved from this combination. The gown pictured here was of plain and striped silk in an effective and modish combination. MOTHERS' DAY. Its Origin Due to a Devoted Daughter's Thoughtfulness. Mothers' day will be celebrated on May 10. It has come to be a national affair, and its origin is said to have been as follows: In the spring of 1908 this subject was brought to the attention of a couple of evangelists while engaged in the direction of an evangelistic campaign in Philadelphia. The suggestion was due to Miss' Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia: who felt led to set apart a day in honor of her own mother. Following the evangelistic campaign in Philadelphia, the clergymen conducted a meeting in Norfolk, Va., and there on the second Sunday in May was observed the first Mothers' day. At the same time a leaflet of information and a letter of suggestion were sent to all the Presbyterian pastors by the general assembly's committee on evangelistic work. This same custom was observed for the three following years, and it was suggested that the second Sunday in May be observed for the service. It was sought to prompt the observance of this day by the proclamation by the governors and by suggestions on the part of various fraternal organizations. It was suggested that in connection with the observance of the day by churches or. Sunday schools and by individuals a white carnation be worn. Each season the movement increases in popularity. Pointera About Veils. Many of the new veils are plain or have small designs over the face only. For a veil which may be thrown back the border effects are good. Some veils have a border and a small set motif over the surface. Shadow and dotted effects are once more being worn. Silk thread designs appear in graceful figures—butterflies, orchids and simpler motifs—on a fine mesh. Fashion demands that the veil must harmonize with the hat, as does the hat with the costume, not only in color, but in its effect. Thus not one but many veils are necessary, so that one may be smartly and properly velled for all daytime occasions in the open. High Coiffure Combs. The high hairdressing has not become very general yet, but in a few months every one will wear this dignified style. In the meantime every two man whose aim it is to keep in touch with the new fashions when they first appear should become possessed of as many of the high, old fashioned tortoiseshell combs as she can. These picturesque combs can often be picked up quite cheaply at old curiosity shops, but they must be bought quickly, for they will soon go up in price. All kinds will be worn, but the high Spanish comb is likely to be the greatest favorite. For the Children SANTA CLAUS Surely a smart and handsome boy this in the Scotch kilts and with the pipes to his lips. Whether he is evolving music or not, the picture does not tell. Pictures do not give forth sound or we should know for sure. At any rate, he is making a brave show, this little Scotch laddle. Born in this country, he is of pure Scotch descent, although he never saw the rugged hills and clear lakes of the land of his father's birth. Proud he is of his ancestry and still more proud to be a citizen of the land of the free and perhaps a future president. Who knows? We have had several presidents of Scotch parentage, and we doubtless may have more. It is fine to be proud of your descent, but it is also a much grander thing to be in line for the presidency of the greatest of all nations—the United States of America. Children's Songs In Scotland. Children's Songs in Scotland. The kiddies of the land of heather like verse as well as the children of other countries, and they have many nice little rimes which correspond to those used in our own land. In fact, it is quite clear that some we use as our own are plagiarized straight from Scotland—such as: Rain, rain, go away. The rain has a reputation for being somewhat of a spoil sport in bonny Scotland, and many of the rimes, such as the above, hold a very clear wish on the part of the children that the rain man keep his distance. Coming down as they have through the centuries, it is source to be wondered at that many of the verses have become simply doggerel without a vestige of meaning to our modern ears—for instance, the following: Rain, rain, rattle stones, Dinna rain on me. But rain on John O'Groat's house, Far across the sea. When the snow files the children use this little rime: The men o' the east Are piking their geese And sending their feathers here away. When a high wind sweeps over the heather they sing: Arthur O'Bower has broken his bands, and he's come roaring over the lands. The king of Scots w' a' his power Canna turn Arthur o' Bower. The Bazaar on Wheels. A pushcart fair is an amusing outdoor entertainment that will be novel to most. You can hire the carts for a small sum, and you get rid of the work of trimming booths. Those who have charge of the carts should wear the costumes of different peoples—Italians, Germans, negroes, Greeks or any others that fancy may select. Articles for sale are arranged on the carts and sold from them as from ordinary booths. There are pushcarts for fancy articles, others for household things, still others for candy, for toys and for lemonade and cake, ice cream or tea. If you can get a band and have pretzels and "sausages" sold from the German cart so much the better. The "sausages" are for the grab bag-small articles rolled in long folds of brown crape paper tied with fine string at each end. A pushcart supper will furnish much amusement. Cups and saucers, plates, and so on, are bargained for at the first cart, and the supper itself is gathered piecemeal from the display on the various carts.—Youth's Companion. Buried Treasure. In each sentence is concealed something of value. 1. Whenever, there is a wind I am on deck all night. 2. When we come to the tub race let every one be careful not to tip over. 3. If you burned up the doll house and the doll, arson is your crime. Answers: 1. diamond; 2. bracelet; 3. dollars. Bare Truth. What is that which no one wishes to have, yet no one wishes to lose?
