PROF. J. W. HUBERT GETS NEW SCHOOL
ELECTED HEAD OF CUYLER STREET SCHOOL
New School Nearly Completed—Will have Industries for Upper Grades—School to Accommodate 1,000 Pupils and have 20 Rooms.
At a meeting of the board of education Monday afternoon Prof. J. W. Hubert, of White Plains, Ga., was elected principal of the new Cuyler street public school.
Prof. Hubert is a graduate of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and also from University of Chicago. He has taught among other places at Tuskegee Institute and is at present head of an industrial training school at White Plains, Ga. It is understood that there were many applicants for the principalship of the new school, among them being several local men. As it is the idea of the board of education to have the industrial and domestic features of the new school the predominating feature there, it was thought best to have as its head a man with some experience in this sort of work.
The school, when completed, will be one of the finest public schools in the south for Negro children. It will contain about twenty rooms and will be two stories high.

SCHOOL BOYS' LEAGUE WILL CLOSE TODAY
The school boys' baseball league which was organized under no committee of the local branch of the Urban League will come to a close this afternoon. The league has attracted much interest during its run of two months and has afforded the boys of the city much enjoyment. The closing games to-day will be played between the East Broads and West Broads at Bolton and Atlantic avenue and the Beach and Independents at 37th and Bulloch. The Beach team has been the most consistent winners and are two games ahead of their nearest opponents, the Independents. Some fine baseball talent has been discovered among the boys, and the men who conduct the affairs of the league feel that this initial step toward organizing the boys has been very successful. In next week's issue of the Tribune will be the official standing of the teams.
Prof. Webster in the City.
Prof. Edgar H. Webster, of Atlanta University, arrived in the city Wednesday en route north and will remain here until Monday afternoon.

He is, in point of service, the oldest teacher of Atlanta University; having just completed his twenty-seventh year. During his stay here the Atlanta University students and friends have made it very plentant for him. Among the friends of the school contributing to his pleasures was Mr. G. H. Bowen, the popular real estate dealer, who treated him to an automobile ride to the Hermitage and elsewhere. Beside an informal dinner at Prof. J. G. Lemon's home at College, Ga., and an automobile ride Thursday several other enjoyable affairs have been given in honor of Prof. Webster's visit here.

It was an eloquent discourse along practical lines and was much enjoyed by the large audience. The Y. M. C. A. exercises were held Monday night, and on Tuesday the literary societies held their exercises and were addressed by Prof. J. H. R. Lee of Tuskegee Institute.
The regular graduating exercises were held Wednesday morning in Meldrim Auditorium. There were fifty-two pupils to receive certificates, thirteen of whom had finished the literary course, the remainder receiving certificates from the trade departments.

The closing exercises of St. Benedict's school will be held at the Beach Institute, on Tuesday, June 16th, at 8:30 p. m., and will be an interesting event of the following week. The boys and girls, tots and lads, of the respective schools are anxious to have a large audience to applaud and encourage them during the performance of their pretty songs recitations and dramas. Judging from the rehersals, the program is excellent and very charming. The admission is 25 cents for everybody. We are glad to announce that Father Obrecht has come back to Savannah to resume his duties as pastor of St. Benedict's parish; he seems to have gained much health and strength. Very Reverand Ignatius Lissner, the primeval, who is an indefatigable pioneer, is now very busily engaged in erecting at Macon, a new school and rectory for Father Dahlent, the pastor of St. Peter's. These new buildings will be ready for use before next fall and their solemn dedication will take place some time in September of this year. On last Sunday our morning services were all well attended. It shows, that, notwithstanding the hot weather, our members and friends don't forget that there is no vacation for prayer and God's worship. We need the Lord's help and assistance at every minute of our existence, therefore let us be faithful in attending our church very irregularly during the summer months. The last mass at St. Benedict's church will be only a low mass. However tomorrow being the solemnity of the feast of Corpus Christi at 9:30 a.m. the choir will sing another mass, which will be followed by the Benediction of the blessed sacrament.

NUMBER 38
YOUTH DROWNS IN MUSGROVE CREEK
JESSE LOFTON FIRST VICI TIM OF THE SUMMER
Unfortunate Boy's Companions Powerless to Rescue Him Were Playing in the Creek and Lofton Stepped into Deep Water.
The first victim of the waters around the city this summer-was Jesse Lofton, an eleven-year old Negro boy, who was drowned in the Musgrove Creek, near the Brinson Railroad yards, on Tuesday morning.
The little Lofton boy, who with several of his companions carried dinner in the neighborhood of the railroad yards, was returning home and came by the creek to take a swim. The boys, none of whom could swim more than a few strokes, were playing in the shallow part of the creek, when the Lofton boy stepped into water above his head. As he went down he screamed for help. His companions heard his cries but were powerless to help him and he shortly disappeared from view. Some men in the distance hearing the boys scream ran to them but too late to be of any assistance.
The authorities were notified of the drowning and recovered the body that afternoon a short distance from where the boy went down. The dead boy was the son of Mrs. Rachael Lofton of Henry street lane between Montgomery and West Broad streets. The body was caried to Allendale, S. C., for burial.
Colored Boy, 10, Gets $190 A Day
Cushing, Okla., May 6.—(Spl.) Running wild and irresponsible as a colt, little Dan Tucker, ten, a colored boy, living on a rocky Oklahoma farm of 80 acres is ignorant of the fact that he is 'one of richest boys in Oklahoma.
Little Dan often sings for his supper, but does'n't have to. The month of March saw deposited to his credit $12,000 and every day he makes not less than $190.
Dan is the son of James and Elizabeth Tucker, children of slaves of the Creek Indians freed by the Civil War.
By virtue of a treaty made between the United States and the Creek Indians at Ft. Smith, Ark., in 1866, slaves formerly belonging to the Creeks, and their descendants were given an equal share with their former owners in the government allotment of the old Creek lands in the Indian territory.
And that is how Dan Tucker now owns 160 acres of land lying east of Cushing, Oklahoma in the heart of the newly developed Cushing oil field. The land was allotted to him in a supplementary division made by the government in 1905, and Dan had been enrolled as an eligible by his father.
LAND FLOWING WITH OIL For years the land was reputedly no account.
Two years ago, long after Dan's parents had given up hope of return from the land the Prairie Oil & Gas Co., arranged a lease. Oil now is rushing out of that portion of Creek like water from a lawn sprinkler. Dan gets one-eighth of the gross proceeds from his oil wells and the Prairie Oil and Gas Co. does all the work and stands all the expenses of operation.—Indiana o-Ledger.
Pros. L. B. Thompson, of the Georgia State Industrial college, will lecture on to-morrow afternoon, at 5 o'clock at the office of the Negro Employment Exchange. The subject will be "The Gospel of service." There will be remarks made by several ladies who are members of the exchange. The public is invited to attend. No admission will be charged
DOING ONE THING WELL
There is a great deal in being able to do one thing thoroughly well. Thoroughness in one line of work usually gives that training and power of initiative which enable one to do "almost anything" else that may be required of him. It is to the busy men we go for the extra task which is everybody's business and nobody's. But be sure that the people who can really do "almost anything" are those who first learned to do one thing thoroughly well—Louis Stickney.
Babylon.
We are pretty much in the dark in regard to the ancient city of Babylon. Even no estimate is given of the number of inhabitants in Babylon at any one time. Sennacherib sucked and demolished the city G90 B. C. and made the very site unrecognizable. The city was rebuilt by Esarhaddon. Just when it again disappeared is not made clear in history, but it never attained its former eminence. Nothing definite is known of its actual size.—Philadelphia Press.
More Push. Less Push.
The primal cause of American breakdown has been attributed by a famous physician to those absurd feelings of hurry and care, to that breathlessness and tension, that anxiety of feature and solicitude of results, revealing the lack of inner harmony and ease, without which good work cannot be accomplished. The man who gives us the impression of the old Scriptural motto, "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength," is none too common in these days.-Christian Herald.
Where He Could Be Found.
It is said that once in Washington at the old Baltimore and Ohio railroad station a man was looking for Abraham Lincoln. An attendant pointed the then little Tad out to him, saying that the lad ought to be able to say where his father was.
Tad said: "No, sir, I can't go and find father for you. He told me to stay right here. But if you'll go out there"—pointing to the platform—"and see a man helping somebody—that's him."—Louisville Times.
The Missing Link.
'A lawyer having offices in a Philadelphia building wherein there are some hundreds of tenants recently lost a cuff link, one of a pair that he greatly prized. Being absolutely certain that he had dropped the link somewhere in the building, he caused a notice to be posted in the following terms: Lost.—A gold cuff link. The owner, William Ward, will deeply appreciate its immediate return.
That afternoon, on passing the door whereon this notice was posted, what were the feelings of the lawyer to observe appended thereto these lines: The finder of the missing cuff link would deem it a great favor if the owner would kindly lose the other link.
Our Insignificant Earth
If the earth should be annihilated the planets Venus and Mercury would fall a little nearer the sun and move around it a trifle faster, while all of the outside planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, would move away from the sun slightly and traverse larger orbits, moving a little slower thereon. The earth is so small, however, that only professional astronomers, armed with very accurate clocks and telemicrometers, could hope to measure the minute disturbances.—New York American.
Always on Time.
A man who is constitutionally late surprised his friends by leaving the house at 1 o'clock to keep a 2 o'clock appointment.
"Jim's watch must be wrong or he wouldn't have started so early," they said. "He will surely be on time today. Where in the world can he be going?
"He is going to a funeral," volunteered one who knew. "He is one of the pallbearers. Very seldom are pallbearers behind time. I have known men who were late on every other imaginable occasion—late for their own weddings—but if chosen for pallbearers they always came up to the mark."—New York Globe.
Quick Diagnosis.
"Doctor, I'm feeling awful. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't"— "I can cure you," said the doctor, "if you'll take my advice. Go and ask her to marry you." — Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Setting the River on Fire."
In old English times, when each family was obliged to sift its own flour, it sometimes happened that an energetic man would turn his sieve so rapidly as to cause it to catch fire. The style of sleeve used in those days was called a "temse," and it became a customary saying that a lazy man would never set the temse on fire. Now it happens that the name of the river Thames is pronounced like the name of this old flour sieve, and after many years, when the old fashioned temse was forgotten, it was thought that setting the temse on fire meant setting the river on fire, and that it why today we say that a stupid person will never set the river on fire.
Dog Costumes
Certain Parisian tailors regularly issue fashion plates containing the designs for clothing for pet dogs.
FLEETING TIME
Make the most of the time allotted to you. Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man—yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So, for the hair's breadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extelling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.—Marcus Aurelius.
A Shipwreck.
Muggins, gazing intently at a dead dog, in a resigned tone at last said:
"Here is another shipwreck."
"Shipwreck! Where?" blurted out Juggins.
"Where, my dear friend?" quoted M.
"There is a bark lost forever."
Juggins growled and passed on.—London Fun.
APPEARANCES
Do not allow yourself to be misled by appearances. Epictetus says: "Appearances to the mind are of four kinds—things either what they appear to be, or they neither are nor appear to be, or they are and do not appear to be, or they are not and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task."
Dancing on Talcum Powder.
Dancing on Paletum, Powder.
It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is laid over this, and talcum-powder is sprinkled upon it every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The sheemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles. New York World.
THY BETTER SELF.
Be true to thy better self. The noblest thing you ever did, the noblest emotion you ever felt, the deepest and most self sacrificing love ever in your soul, that is your true self still through all the baser life into which you may have fallen.—Phillips Brooks.
Tipping the Attache.
A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert E. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mail. As an attache and feeling very pleased with himself, as he records, he was once told that he was wanted in the anteroom of our embassy at Paris. There an old man addressed him as a a "clerk" and demanded a passport to Russia. When he received it he handed Sir Hubert half a crown, saying: "It's for you, you know. I know what clerks are. Bless you, they do like an occasional tip."
A Medal of Blood.
Garibaldi was once presented with a medal made of his own blood. The giver was Dr. Manini of Naples, who was well known as a petrifier and preserver of the human body. Dr. Manini in offering the gift to Garibaldi said that whenever the general looked at it it would brace him up for the last fight, and across the medal were engraved the words, "The Blood of Garibaldi Is Forever Red." The strange medal is preserved by the general's descendants.
Why He Drowned.
Describing the stringent police regulations of Berlin, a citizen of that city by way of illustration told the following story:
"Schmidt and Krauss met one morning in the park.
"Have you heard,' says Schmidt, 'the sad news about Muller?' "No,' says Krauss. 'What is it?' "Well, poor Muller went boating on the river yesterday. The boat capsized, and he was drowned. The water was ten feet deep."
"But couldn't he swim?"
"Swim? Don't you know that all persons are strictly forbidden by the police to swim in the river?"—Philadelphia Record.
His Successor.
Shortly after the death of one of England's greatest poets a devoted admirer of his visited the little Westmorland village where the poet had lived and died to gaze reverently at his house, the little church and at some of his favorite haunts where some of his immortal poems were composed.
Seeing an old man (a native of the village), the stranger entered into conversation with him, remarking sadly on the death of the poet, to which the old man answered kindly and encouragingly:
"Aye, aye. Still I mak' no doobt but t' wife'll carry the bizness on."—London Mall.
Old Time Police
Glasgow in the eighteenth century had a competent volunteer unpaid police force.
Got Even With the Clerk.
Mr. Jawback—This gown is not becoming to you, and it is expensive. Why did you buy it? Mrs. Jawback—Because the clerk looked as if he thought I thought I couldn't afford it.
—Cleveland Leader.
It Doesn't.
"He who laughs best laughs last, you know." "Does that include the Englishman?"—Exchange.
Badly Named.
There is a man in a midland town whose name is Burst. It is a misfortune that would not have attracted much attention if he had not called his two children Anna May and Ernest Will.—London Mall.
The Blue Sky.
The blue sky which reveals itself as the hemispherical vault of the firmament in the absence of clouds is the far depths of the air sending back to the observer some part of the solar illumination which they receive. The light thus returned to the eye is "blue" simply because the particles of the air are of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of the luminous vibrations—that is, with the "blue" undulations. There are a few faint interminglings of the other colored rays in the blue of the sky, but they are in such trifling quantity that the blue swallows them up.
Didn't Get a Chance.
She—What did papa say when you asked him for my hand?
He—Why, he couldn't say a word.
"He couldn't?"
"No. Your mother was there!"—
Yonkers Statesman.
Freshening It.
"Don't you ever change your mind?"
"Of course," replied Miss Cayenne.
"It is very desirable to change your mind occasionally in order to call attention to the fact that you had any in the first place."—Washington Star.
Flowers and Spices Antiseptic.
The odor of cloves has been known to destroy microbes in thirty-five minutes, cinnamon will kill some species in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty-five minutes. In forty-five minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the odor of some geranium flowers has destroyed various forms of microbes in fifty minutes. The essence of cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid fever microbe in twelve minutes and is recorded as the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is now believed that flowers which are found in Egyptian mummies were placed there more for their antiseptic properties than for merely ornamental or sentimental purposes.—London Globe.
Homemade Humor.
There is a judge in a certain eastern city noted for his grouch. The most comical incident has no more effect on his frown than upon a wooden Indian. But one day a lawyer who had tried in vain to make the judge laugh walked into court and found the jurist doubled up with mirth. The lawyer hurried to his colleagues.
"Dinner to the man responsible for that." he said. "Who told the story? Another lawyer drew a sheet of paper toward him and wrote the words, "The judge."-Baltimore American.
Making It Easy.
Wife—What's this—a new box of cigars? Didn't you just swear off smoking? Hub—Certainly! That's why I bought this box; I'd be crazy for a cigar if there wasn't one in the house.—Boston Transcript.
A. Mean Man.
Tommy—Pop, a man is a bachelor until, he gets married, isn't he? Tommy's Pop—Yes, my son. Tommy—And what does he call himself afterward? Tommy's Pop—I'd hate to tell you, my son—Philadelphia Record.
Businesslike.
The Beloved One — You object to Horace because he's not businesslike. Stern Parent—Certainly; he's only after you for your money. Beloved One—Well, pa, doesn't that prove he's businesslike?
There Was a Change.
A government inspector, entering a rural postoffice, expressed surprise upon seeing a woman at the delivery window. "I was under the impression," said he, "that a man was in charge of this office."
"And so he was," replied the woman sharply. "but I married him."—Atlanta Constitution.
The "Need Not Tell You" Man.
"I need not tell you," says the philosopher of folly, "that when an orator starts with the words 'I need not tell you' he goes right ahead and tells you all that he need not tell you."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Worse Off.
"The bachelor is worse off than the married man? How do you make that out?"
"The married man is afraid of only one woman; the bachelor is afraid of all of them."-Houston Post.
Notes That Come Due.
Kent—Are you ever affected by the lingering notes of "My Old Kentucky Home?" Bent—No, but the lingering notes of my remodeled New England home frequently take a rise out of me. —Judge.
Such Vanity.
"I have always wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life."
"Why don't you? You're rich enough to do as you please. I should think you'd buy a place in the country and spend the rest of your days in rest."
"I would, only I'm afraid my friends would think, if I gave up the gay life, that I must be getting old."—Chicago Record-Herald.
Cutting the Finger Nails
Cutting the finger nails appears to have been the most indispensable service the ancient Roman barber rendered to his patrons. Martial, chaffing a fop who had tried to dodge the barber by using plasters to remove his beard, asks triumphantly, "How are you going to manage about your nails?" And the miser in Plautus collects the parings of his nails from the barber to make something out of them, apparently never dreaming that he could save money by cutting them himself.
News From London About New York. A curious cause has brought Monday into fashion with the New York theater goer. Many years ago the wealthy people—who could afford to put their laundering out—became distinguished from the poorer people, who had to do their washing at home. The richer could show up at the opera on Monday evening.—London Chronicle.
Those Chilly Boston Girls.
The beautiful Boston girl was ailing, and a physician had been summoned. "Doctor," said the fond mother, "is it anything serious?"
"At present," replied the wise medical man, "I am not prepared to state. We must await developments. She has a high fever. Her temperature is thirty-five!"—New York Globe.
SMALL DUTIES.
It does not matter if the greatest thing for you to do be not in itself great. The best preparation for greatness comes in doing faithfully the little things that lie nearest. The nearest is the greatest in most human lives.—David Starr Jordan.
Witch Hazel.
A fact little known is that the home of witch hazel is in Connecticut. The annual output of this article is about 25,000 barrels, of which the greater part comes from a limited district in eastern Middlesex county. The rest comes from New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.-Indianapolis News
Being a Good Boxer
In a story in the American Magazine by Elmer E. Ferris one of the characters comments as follows on the advantages of learning how to box:
"The good of it lies right here. It increases a man's self confidence, and that protects him from trouble. Haven't you ever noticed among dogs that when a dog is a scraper the other dogs leave him alone, but if he is afraid they pitch into him? Men are something like that. Another thing: Boxing increases a man's aggressive spirit, although if he is anything of a gentleman it doesn't make him quarrelsome. Then, too, it is better than any other exercise in taking the fear of physical injury out of a man."
So It Does.
An Irishman was asked how many legs a horse has. "Eight," he replied; "one at each corner. and two on each side."
"Don't you think that a foolish answer?" he was asked.
The Irishman replied with wisdom when he said, "A fool question deserves a fool answer."—London Answers.
The Gloves on the Pole
A quaint custom in an English town, Honiton, is "proclaiming the fair." The town obtained the grant of a fair from the lord of the manor so long ago as 1257, and the fair still retains some of the picturesque characteristics of bygone days. The town crier, dressed in picturesque uniform and carrying a pole decorated with gay flowers and surmounted by a large gilt model of a gloved hand, publicly announces the opening of the far, as follows: "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The fair's begun, the glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down." Hot coins are then thrown among the children. The pole and glove remain displayed until the end of the fair.
A Clock Case Made of Pennies
A novelty in clockmaking consists of a timepiece whose case is made of English pennies. The coins, of which there are ninety-six, all bear the date 1797 and were beaten out to almost double their original size and then riveted together, while the figures were made of small strips of copper cemented on to the face. The clock stands fourteen inches high and is eight inches broad at the base. That "time is money" is an adage with which we all more or less agree, but this is a case in which the saying might be reversed and still remain true. The clock is owned by a resident of Laurel Bank, Ikley, Yorkshire, England.
The Coveted Hand.
The young man had gone to the heiress' father—always a tickish job—but he took his courage with an iron grip.
"Sir," he blurted out, "I want to ask you for your daughter's hand."
The old man, not in the least disconcerted, said:
"Which hand? The one she signs checks with, I suppose."
Both Disappointed.

Old Laws.
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 eleven 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 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.

Princess Alexander of Teck, Who
Is to Be First Lady of Canada.
PRINCESS ALEXANDER OF TECK.
The announcement that Prince Alexander of Teck has been appointed to succeed the Duke of Connaught as governor general of Canada is of special interest since it will give another royal lady to Ottawa to fill the position of first lady of the Dominion.
Prince Alexander of Teck is the favorite brother of Queen Mary of England. He is a gentleman of simple tastes, great amiability and irreproachable private character. His wife is the Princess Alice of Albany, daughter of Prince Leopold, who was the youngest son of Queen Victoria. Princess Alice's mother, the Duchess of Albany, is a sister of the dowager queen of the Netherlands, and the princess is therefore cousin to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland as well as cousin to the king of England. Her brother is the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Much of her childhood was spent under the wing of her grandmother, Queen Victoria. Queen Mary may be said to have made the match which united Princess Alice of Albany with the Duke of Teck, who is royal only on his mother's side. Fortunately the match has been a happy one. Both husband and wife are devoted to their two charming children, Princess May, who is eight, and Prince Rupert, who is just seven years old.
The royal couple are not particularly well blessed with this world's goods, so it is reasonable to suppose that they will not surround themselves with any undue pomp or entertain extravagantly. Princess Alexander, as she is called in England, is one of the best looking members of the English royal family and is clever and kind hearted.
WASHING BLANKETS.
Once a Year Is Often Enough if These Directions Are Followed.
Before putting them away for the summer blankets should be carefully washed.
The most abused articles in very many houses are the blankets. Some housewives do not know how to protect these, and, as washing too often ruins them, blankets which become soiled remain so much too long in consequence.
The all wool blanket gives the most comfort; but, as it shrinks so much and requires more careful washing than most laudresses are willing to give it, many housekeepers content themselves with the mixed cotton and wool kinds.
If precautions are taken these blankets, need be washed but once a year. To prevent them from getting soiled simple covers of cheesecloth could be made to fold over the top of the blanket edge. Take a piece as long as the blanket and about a foot wide. Sew both ends and one side. Slip over the edge of the blanket and baste on. These protectors can be daintily made if there are colors in the blanket. The cover could be fentherstitched in corresponding shades. Very fine linen protectors, with a large monogram, are very artistic if used in the guest room. They can be changed weekly or every other week.
Net For Hangings
Nothing could be prettier or more effective than a Calcutta net seen the other day, suitable for window and door hangings. It is a square, heavy mesh and forty-eight inches wide. It comes in red, green and other colors. One which attracted attention in a shop window was of a claret red over a buff colored cretonne.
SUMMER OUTING SUIT.
Chic Model In Dust Shedding Mohair and Wool.
The gown shown here is an especially useful model for outing wear, whether one wishes to go yachting, desires to play tennis or indulge in the many recreations of the season. The suit is up to the minute in regard to style features, yet is cut on lines that make it convenient and comfortable. The material used is mohair and wool, a fabric to be recommended on account of its dust shedding qualities. Black and white bone buttons trim the garment. The model has a plain, straight skirt and Norfolk jacket, hung from a yolk, with pockets below the belt.
With the suit is worn an outing hat of soft straw in green and white. White buckskin tennis shoes complete the outfit.
CAP AND VEST.
Sheer Stuffs Used In Creating Many of the Season's Costume Accessories. This is a season of sheerness, and here in this tango cap and vest that fits under a frock or blouse is a very dainty expression of the mode. The vest and the collar that are arranged
[Name]
TANGO CAP AND NEW VEST.
In gulmpe fashion keep in place better than otherwise. The front fastening is held invisibly with snap fasteners. The flare collar and the V front are in the top of the mode. The little cap of white net and blue ribbon may serve as a dance or a house cap.
Improvised Shelves
Radiators may be made very useful in summer by turning them into shelves upon which papers and magazines may safely be laid. Make cretonne covers that hide them. Have a sheet of tin or thin board to keep the cover tidy. If a reason is wanted for this precaution, just remember how much work is saved by not having to dust top and bottom, sides and pipes of the numerous radiators about the house. Every week the covers may be removed, shaken and returned.
Sash Designs.
Braid is much used now for girdles and belts. A girdle that is made of two lengths of silk woven braid about three inches wide sells for $5.60. The braid is stitched together to make a long sash—six inches wide and two and a half yards long. It is finished at the ends with long black silk tassels.
A Household Economy.
To make candles last double the usual time take each candle by the wick and give it a good coat of white varnish. Put the candles away a day or two to let them harden. The varnish prevents the grease from running down and so prolongs the life of the candle.
Good form
Calling on New Neighbors.
Usually the etiquette of calls is that those residing the longest in a town must pay the first call. This should be returned within a fortnight—just a short and formal call, with a calling card of a married woman and one of her husband left for each lady and an additional one of his for each man of the family. Quite often, however, in these informal days of the convenient telephone an evening is arranged for, where the first formal call may assume the less formal and pleasanter form of a purely social visit.
In small-towns the calling is more extensive, and newcomers are welcomed more or less cordially very soon after arriving. The pastor of their church calls, and this is perhaps the best means of becoming acquainted, as a minister of the gospel requests his wife to call upon a new parishioner, and in this way the acquaintance of church members will soon be made.
After the more formal calling is done with a really friendly feeling arises, and the "stranger within the gates" is made to feel entirely at home. Then by judicious small "afternoons" and teas a woman becomes a favored and sought after hostess, with her "affairs" always well attended and with her own preferences at her command. Yet it should be remembered that it is better to be on the best of terms with all neighbors, and by attention to one's own business—in the meaning that a woman is not inclined to gossip or make mischief—this desired end is attained.
Street Etiquette.
It is not considered good form for a man to take hold of a lady's arm in walking at any time except to assist her in alighting from a vehicle or over a crossing or in some place where assistance is absolutely necessary. In walking on the street during the day a man should walk beside the lady, preferably on the right hand, which will prevent her being jostled in meeting those going in the opposite direction, but always on the outside of the walk. He does not take her arm nor does she take his, unless, as said, for the purpose of assisting her in some way.
In the evening a lady may take the arm of the man she is walking with that he may be a support and that they may the better keep step, but he should not take hers. The exceptions are where a woman is feeble or aged, when any support and assistance that can be rendered should be done in the easiest and most inconspicuous fashion.
A Rose Luncheon.
A charming decoration for a lunch-eon is a big central basket or birch bark filled with white garden roses. The leaves may fall over the edge of the basket on to the cloth to form a border.
At the four corners have tall glass or silver vases filled with pink and white roses and drooping border of leaves. The cakes and bonbons may be white and pink.
Serve the dessert in tall sherbet glasses, with the stems twined with vines and a border of flowers around the edge of the plate. One plate can have a wreath of the white roses and another of the pink and thus alternate around the table.
Serve the ices in the heart of rose cups twined with vines, and on one side of the plate have a spray of roses, alternating a white flower with one-of pink.

Conversation at Meala
Children should be taught to talk at mealtimes. So often it happens that one or two members of a family get into a way of monopolizing all the conversation, while the others sit silent. Every one ought to contribute to the general amusement. If children are taught to notice and remember little interesting things that happen throughout the day they very soon form a habit of doing their part. The man or woman who has nothing to say acts as a wet blanket at any party, and nobody wants a wet blanket.
Bread and Butter Notes
Letters must always be sent in acknowledgment of overnight hospitality. Of course calls take, the place of letters in most forms of entertainment. But a week end visit or an overnight stay with a friend calls for a note.
Accidents at Table.
If an accident happens at table, such as overturning a glass or breaking a bit of china, apologize at some other time than at the table. To say you are sorry is enough at the moment.
Too General For Compliment:
No woman is flattered by the enthusiastic announcement of a man that be "would do anything for the indies." Everything for the "lady" would be more to her taste.

Tact In Letter Writing.
In answering letters avoid mentioning the weary magnitude of your epistolary arrears. It isn't pleasant for your correspondent, even by implication, to be included among bugbears.
Culinary Hints
Stirring Milk.
Always stir up the milk in a jar or pitcher if you wish to give a fair percentage of cream to individual drinkers. Recent investigations by the United States department of agriculture proved that in many cases where retail dealers are held up for selling skimmilk it is because they have ignorantly poured off the, top milk to one customer, leaving the skimmed for some one else.
The department of agrkulture recommends that milk be retailed in bottles. Whenever it is necessary to sell bulk milk vendors are advised to mix their milk thoroughly each time before pouring from a large container into a small one if they wish to avoid unintentional skimming. This can best be done by stirring the milk with a long handled dipper. Shaking the can is not sufficient.
Strawberry Sponge.
Take strawberries and clean and hull enough of them to measure a cupful when mashed, add the juice of a lemon and a cupful of sugar; let stand until the sugar is dissolved, then rub through a sieve. Soak a level tablespoonful of gelatin in a quarter of a cupful of cold water until soft; then dissolve by standing in hot water. Strain into the strawberry mixture. Chill in a pan of ice water until it thickens, then beat until frothy, fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs and a cupful of rich cream beaten until stuff. Line a mold with lady-fingers, turn in the mixture and chill. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries.
Spinach In Butter.
Cook some nice fresh spinach in salted water; then drain, press out the moisture and chop very fine. Heat some butter in a saucepan, add the chopped spinach, stir with a long wooden spoon, adding a little butter. This will work out the moisture. Season to taste with salt and a little scraped nutmeg. Finish by adding an ounce and a half of butter.
Gold cooked spinach is delicious molded, then turned on to lettuce leaves and garlished with hard boiled eggs and bits of cooked ham or tongue. Garnish with mayonnaise dressing.
Chambord Trout.
Parboli the required number of fresh brook trout in seasoned water, containing a sliced carrot, an onion stuck with two cloves, one bay leaf and a little red wine. When this is done take up the fish and carefully remove the skin. Place the trout in a saute pan, cover with brown marinade sauce and finish cooking. Dish up neatly and garnish with small fish quenelles, crayfish and small fleurons of puff pastry. Sauce over the front carefully with marinade sauce and serve hot.
An Attractive Ice.
For raspberry-currant ice take four cupfuls of water, one and a third cupfuls of sugar, two-thirds of a cupful of raspberry juice and one and a third cupfuls of currant juice. Roll sugar and water to make a sip, strain berries through cheesecloth, add their juice, cool and freeze. Whole cherries, seeded, may be added to this and will make it more attractive. Serve with a whole cherry on each portion.
Baking a Souffle
A souffle should never be put into a very hot oven. It crusts over on top before it has time to bake properly inside and is likely to fall as soon as it comes from the oven. Bake in a moderate temperature and not too fast.
When Raising Stick.
Ralsins often stick to the paper in which they have been wrapped. At such times hold the paper for a moment over the steam escaping from a teakettle and the fruit can then be removed readily.
Dainty New Salads.
Pears are nice coated with mayonnaise. Served with cold meat or with sardines they make an excellent supper dish. They are also very acceptable mixed with a well hearted lettuce cut in shreds.
The Odor of Cabbage.
A lump of charcoal placed in the saucepan will destroy the odor of cabbage in cooking. In the case of other greens a lump of dough the size of an egg will answer the purpose.
When Frying Fish.
When frying small fish sprinkle them with fine oatmeal instead of flour and when cooked they will look as if they had been fried with egg and bread-crumba.
Avoiding Grease 8 spots.
When trying place a piece of clean white paper over the food in the pan, and your grate or stove will be free from grease spots, as the paper will snuck it up as it splashes.
Fat on Soup.
Always remove the cake of fat that settles on the top of cold soup. If allowed to remain the soup will turn sour more quickly than it otherwise would.

Dishes of Tea.
The Tavistock, the bachelors hotel in Covent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago. These dishes are cups without handles. They are larger than those used by our great-great-grandmothers, which would hardly suit the modern masculine demand. The Tavistock, dishes are of uniform pattern-white china with a broad blue band.-Pall Mall Gazette.
Bonaparte said France was not large enough for himself and Mme. de Stael at the same time and exiled her. Next to Bonaparte she was, through her salons, the most powerful personage in the country in her time. "If I were empress of the world," exclaimed the brilliant Mme. de Tesse, "I would command Mme. de Stael to talk to me forever."

As we scan the commencement programmes of the various schools and colleges and note the large number of young men and women who are now receiving their certificates and diplomas from them, we have a feeling of happiness and hope within us that this new addition to the race of competent and capable young people, will prove a contributing and constructive factor in the great struggle upward which the race is now making. We have no doubt that the young people who are now leaving the schools to begin their life's work, have been duly impressed by their teachers of the great responsibility which rests upon them. In a large measure it will be theirs to give to their people and the community in which they locate, a life of service. In order to give their education the proper outlet they must not allow themselves to stand apart from the rest of us. On the other hand they must be ready and willing to get right down to a common level with their people in order to lift them along the lines which they should be elevated. It is a true saying that, in order to lift a man or a log, personal contact is necessary; the man or the log must be touched. This is equally true of the race. In order for the one to help it, he must touch it. We are indeed proud of our young people now leaving the schools. They are indeed a promising set. We have the confidence that our boys and girls who are now out among us will give without reservation, to their people the best that is in them.
Slowly but surely, the pre-election promises made by leaders of the party now in power to Negro voters in the doubtful states, are beginning to show themselves, Seemingly these pre-election promises were to the effect that such places as Register of the Treasury, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, Minister to Hayti and the like, places which the Negroes have held for so long a time that they seem virtually to belong to them, would be retained to our people. But lot The leaders of the party now in power failed to measure accurately the strength and audacity that would be exhibited by the Negrohating element once their party secured the reins of the government. And now while in the heyday of their glory, the Vardeman, Hoke Smith Negro-hating contingency, is giving no little amount of annoyance and worry to President Wilson in their effort to prevent recognition by the government of the right of our people to hold office. The statement, "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," although spoken many, many years ago, must find application to the President at this time. While we believe him to be a man of courage and honesty of purpose, the question to our mind at this time is whether or not he will allow himself to exhibit this courage at this time. We have lost the Register of the Treasury because of a lack of courage on the part of the President and Secretary of the Treasury to resist the wave of raial prejudice emanating from the Vardeman-Hoke Smith camp. Are we going to lose the Recordship of Deeds and other offices on the same ground? It remains to be seen. Seemingly the President is basking between two fires. We await developments.

THE BESETTING SIN.
Every now and then there is a special cry goes up to heaven on behalf of the sick. We hear plenty of sermons in and around the lodge rooms about the duty of the strong to aid the weak, the prosperous to assist the temporarily distressed, the well to visit the sick, and so on; but—words, idle words.
Selfishness is the besetting sin of Americans. No denying that. Excuses for remissions are free and easy, and have to be accepted. But why should so little heed be taken of the sick? The lodge will send a bouquet, no doubt; so we let it go at that.
A few days ago I learned that a brother was lying in one of our hospitals dangerously ill. I said: "I'll go over to see him." That evening I allowed some trivial affair to take me elsewhere. Next morning I called up the hospital and was told that the patient had apparently rested well the previous night, and seemed improved. I said: "I'll go to see him." That evening I was detained at the office beyond the hour for admitting visitors. I again called up the hospital and was told that the patient was sinking and no visitors would be allowed. Next day he was dead. That's all.
I am telling you this, brothers—and its absolutely true—just to emphasize the point that selfishness is our besetting sin, whether we are willing to admit it or no. It doesn't help matters that I try to console myself with the excuse that my intentions were goed. I did not think it worth while to put myself to a little extra trouble to visit a dying brother. I'll make no further excuses for myself nor for any one else who is too deeply ungrossed in his own affairs to consider for a moment those less fortunate.—Masonic Sentinel.
NOT WELL INFORMED.
NOT WELL INFORMED.
When a man is hurried through the degrees without proper instruction he is likely to be about as well informed as the man who had been attending school, and was boasting of the different branches he had studied. Some one asked him if he had been through algebra. "Yes' was the reply, "but I went through at night and couldn't see much of it."—Masonic Chronicler.
In the matter of Masonic charity, our faith is manifested in works. The great home at Utica, sheltering more than 400 dependent creatures shows that we are unmindful of the duties devolving upon us. In thousands of other ways, only a few of which are brought to public notice, the craft shows that human sympathy is not the least of its virtues.—New York Masonic Standard.
In Australia a brother who is convicted in a civil court of a crime against the state is automatically expelled from the lodge.
The work of Masonry will endure through all the ages.
The obligations of Masonry bind men together in the golden chains of brotherhood.

In Memoriam
In sad, but loving memory of our beloved husband and our dear father
ANDERSON DANIEL BURR,
of Port Royal, S. C., who departed this
life June 12, 1913.
One year ago you passed away and little
did we think.
When we looked in your face that af-
ternoon,
That you would leave us that night.
No one knows how much we miss you,
You were so good, so kind and true,
God alone, for He knows best,
Called you to a home of rest.
'Twas a bitter grief, a shock severe,
To part with you whom we love so dear
You are gone but not forgotten,
Never shall our memory fade.
Sweeter thought shall ever linger;
Round the grave where you are laid.
Resolutions.
In memoriam of our deceased friend and brother, GEORGE F. TYSON. Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God, in His wise providence, to remove from this world militant, to the world triumphant, our esteemed friend and brother member, GEORGE F. TYSON, one who numbered among the older members of The Mutual Benevolent Society, having faithfully served us with his membership and other duties which had been assigned him. In his sudden death which was a shock to us and his many friends and loved ones, we must bow in humble submission to our Heavenly Father, and say, "Let Thy will be done." We miss your presence "dear brother" and loss to us, which we trust is your gain into the sweet haven of rest. Be it therefore
Resolved. That in memory of you and faithfulness as a member, that this expression of ours, be spread upon the records of this Society and be also published in The Savannah Tribune and a copy be sent to the bereaved family. Respectfully,
THE MUTUAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.

The Oldest Encyclopedia.
The most ancient encyclopedia extant is Pliny's "Natural History," in thirty-seven books and 2,493 chapters, treating of cosmography, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, botany, medicine, the arts and pretty nearly every other department of human thought known at the time. Pliny, who died 79 A. D., collected his work in his leisure intervals while he was engaged in public affairs. The work was a very high authority in the middle ages.
Cruel: Thrust.
He—Our hostess was really the most beautiful woman of all present. She (who was not invited)—I dare say. She took good care to provide for that when she sent out her invitations.—London Telegraph.
THE REAL WORKER
The man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation.—John Ruskin.
Time Saved.
Politician—My boy wants a job in your department. Government Official What can he do? Politician—Nothing. Government Official — Good! Then I won't have to break him in—Plittsburgh Press.
Virtue of Self Expression.
Virtue or Self Expression. If children are allowed to give vent to all that is joyous and happy and spontaneous in their natures they will be infinitely more likely to blossom out into helpful men and women, instead of sedate, suppressed, sad faced individuals. Children who are encouraged in self expression through their play instinct will not only make much more normal human beings, but will make better business men, better professional men, better citizens, better men and women generally. They will succeed better and have a nobler influence in the world. Joy and fun are great developers, calling out our richest resources, educating our fuller powers.—Nantulus.
An Unconscious Toast:
Lord Clyde one day after dinner asked a chaplain to one of the regiments in India for a toast, who, after considering some time, at length exclaimed with great simplicity:
"Alas and alack a day! What can I give?"
"Nothing better," replied his lordship. "Come, gentlemen; we'll give a bumper, to the parson's toast, 'A lass and a lac a day.'"
A lac means 100,000 rupees, or $25,000, which is certainly an income to make one happy.—London Chronicle.

Social Happenings.
Miss Eva Ellison, entertained a few friends at her birthday party on last Monday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hagan, 515 Park Avenue, west. The evening. The evening was very pleasantly spent. Card playing was the feature of the occasion.
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.

Treat corns, bunions and ingrowing nails without pain.
I can positively cure your corns and and other feet trouble. It is very important that you have your feet treated if you are suffering with the above complaint. It has been proven by the best medical men that many diseases that afflict other parts of the body is caused from neglected feet. The skin is one of the three principal channels by which the body casts off impurities. It is estimated that in every square inch of the souls there are 2,685 sweat glands and these serve to aid Nature in throwing out of the system the filth, the carbonic acid and disease which have found their way into the blood and lymph channel. I treat rheumatism, my foot draft sweat the poison through the soles of the feet. I have a fine preparation for sore tired feet, price 25 cents a bottle. Corn salve 25 cents box, RUB-IT-IN, this is a remedy I especially prepared for tired aching and sore feet, price 25 cents a bottle. I will call at your residence by appointment.

Lesson XI.—Second Quarter, For June 14, 1914.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Luke xviii, 9-14; xix,
1-10—Memory Verses, 19, 10—Golden
Text, Mark ii, 17—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Perhaps there are no people more difficult to deal with or to live with than those who, like the Pharisees, pride themselves upon their own righteousness, which in the sight of God is only as filthy rags (Isa. lxiv, 6) and can an no case entitle one to enter the kingdom (Matt. v, 20). The righteousness which is required by God must be absolutely perfect, an unbroken law, for "whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all" (Jas. ii, 10). The law is so holy and righteous that no sinful man can keep it, and it was never intended to give life, but to prove our guilt, shut our mouths and lead us to Christ, who is God's perfect righteousness and the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
There is no Saviour or salvation for a righteous man in the Bible—that is, for such as think themselves righteous—but only, for sinners.
In connection with the murmuring of the Pharisees when our Lord called Matthew or Levi, the publican, and Levi made Him a feast in his own house, at which a great company of publicans and others were present, our Lord said: "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" (Luke v. 31, 32).
On another occasion He said to the chief priests and elders, "Verily I say unto you that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you" (Matt. xx1, 23, 31). To this day there are churchgoers and church members who, "beling ignorant- of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God" (Rom. x. 3).
It is indeed a fearful thing to be satisfied with oneself and have no conviction of sin. In the first part of our lesson today the Pharisee did not pray to God, did not ask God for anything, did not seem to need anything, but prayed with himself and told God what a good man he was and how much good he did and how thankful he was that he was not a bad man nor even like that publican. Truly he was well satisfied with his righteous self. The publican had no goodness to prove his righteousness, nothing good to say of himself, but he did have a consciousness of his own sinfulness, and from his heart he said, "God be merciful to me, a sinner." In the margin of the revised version it is, "God be propitiated to me, the sinner." Weymouth has it, "O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am." The Lord Jesus Christ, who reads all hearts, the only Saviour of sinners, the only Judge of all men, said that the publican went to his home justified.
I like the definition of justification which I learned in Sunday school when I was a boy, and, if I remember correctly, it read thus: "Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein He pardoneth all our sins and accepteth us as righteous in His sight only for the righteousness of Christ, imputed unto us and received by faith alone."
In the second part of our lesson we have a rich publican who land a desire to see Jesus, and, though he did not seem to have the same conviction of sin as the poor publican, he, too, was welcomed and saved. He was a prominent man, chief among the publicans. He was not prominent as to his physical appearance, for he was little of stature. He was not what one might call dignified, for he run and climbed up into a tree. His thought evidently was to see without being seen. How surprised beyond measure he must have been to see Jesus look up and to hear Him call him by name and to hear Him say, "Make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house" (verse 5).
Was this something exceeding abundantly above all that Zacchese had ever thought to come his way, or was it the Saviour's recognition of a desire which he had actually seen in the heart of this man? (Eph. iii, 20; Ezek. xl, 5; Ps. cxiv, 19.) I cannot tell, but I do know that the "handful of purpose" which the Lord drops for those who seek Him and for those who seek to serve Him are truly wonderful (Ruth ii, 15, 16).
We do not wonder that Zaccheus made haste and came down and received Him joyfully (verse 6). Any one but a Pharisee would if he only understood what it meant. According to John 1, 12, Zaccheus thus became a child of God and according to I John 11, 12, had there and then the forgiveness of his sins—freely justified, as was the other publican. There is only one salvation and one way of salvation for rich or poor. It was foreahedadowed in the atonement money of Israel, concerning which it was commanded, "The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel" (Ex. xxx, 11-15). That which Zaccheus said he did in verse S was part of the evidence that he had become a child of God, for, while no works of ours can obtain or help to obtain salvation, the good works must follow as a result (Eob. ii. 10; Tit. iii. 5). Weymouth translates: "Here and now I give. * * * I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount"

Strength of Eggshells.
Most people are aware of the power of eggshells to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit it the results of tests recently made, which appear to be genuine. Eight ordinary hen's eggs were submitted to pressure applied externally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressure varied between 400 pounds and 675 pounds per square inch. With the stresses applied internally to twelve eggs these gave way at pressures varying between 32 pounds and 65 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the egg varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thickness of the shell was 13:10:00 inch - London Globe.
His Brand of English.
At the Union ironworks, San Francisco, a steamer was undergoing repairs. The chief engineer—a Scot, of course—requiring a hammer in a hurried moment, turned to a German mechanic and in his momentary excitement, lapsed into his native speech, said, "Gie us yer pelty, mon" "Nat?" asked the Teuton in surprise.
"Yer pelty—pelty!"
"It's yer hammer he wants," interrupted another Scot, who was also working on the job.
"Thank the Lord there's one mon among ye who understands the king's English!" growled the chief engineer as he took the "pelty."—Argonaut.
Nothing Unusual.
Several years ago a tourist fell over a rock from a height of about 300 feet, near Europa Point, Gibraltar. He was killed, of course. The lieutenant in charge of the guardroom, however, inserted in his guard report for the day that "nothing unusual had occurred."
For this he was "carpeted" before the town mayor, who asked for an explanation.
"Well, sir," replied the young officer, a Scotishman, "if the pair manne had not been killed it would have been a very extraordinary fact, but as the pair body was kilt-why, sir. I thought it was not extraordinary or unusual."
(The clergy were accented.)

Small patches of quack grass may be pretty effectually exterminated by spading them up to the depth of eight or nine inches and carefully shaking the roots free from dirt and hanging them on the fence. When dry they should be burned.
The cranberry marshes in the state of Wisconsin are said to produce as high as $1,400 worth of fruit per acre in a single season. Under clean cultural methods the yield of the berries has been increased in a good many cases nearly 100 per cent.
Heating stoves may be kept from rusting during their periods of nonuse by coating them inside and out with any good graphite stove blacking which should not be polished. The nickel plated portions should be polished and coated with vaselline.
One of New York city's largest milk retailing firms has 8,000,000 bottles in service, and of this number about 6,000,000 are lost or broken annually. It would seem as if there were a lot of folks whose milk bill might be cut down materially if they would take better care of their bottles.
There are said to be nearly half as many dogs in the United States as there are inhabitants. This seems to be a pretty strong statement, judging from the number of dogs in the localities in which most of us live. However, if there are 20,000,000 dogs in the country there are about 19,000,000 too many.
There are at the present time about 2,000 consolidated rural schools in the United States, Ohio, Indiana and Massachusetts having made the greatest progress in this much needed reform. A fact of interest that has been noted in this connection is that about one-third of the roads in these states have been improved.
There may be some retailers of milk who do not realize that there is a federal law against putting any chemical into milk to keep it sweet, and as many more in a good many states do not seem to appreciate the fact that most state laws require that milk sold at retail shall contain not less than 3 per cent of butter fat.
The director of the Colorado experiment station is authority for the statement that if cut while young Canada thistles may be used quite successfully for silage. This observation should not be construed by the unwary as justification for letting these pests get a foothold on the farm in order to have stuff with which to fill the silo.
There is no need of any farmer buying commercial fertilizer if the soil and climatic conditions make possible the growing of alfalfa, red or sweet clover. The statement made does not hold in case land has been robbed for generations, for in such cases the application of commercial fertilizers with manures and the growing of legumes are necessary.
While but 1 per cent of the American people are said to be college or university bred, it is interesting to note the figures prepared by one college investigator, which show that twenty-nine of the fifty-one governors of states and territories have come from this 1 per cent; also sixty-one of ninety-three United States senators, 272 out of 395 congressmen and nine of the nine justices of the supreme court.
Dr. Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas board of health, gives the following recipe for a homemade fly poison that will not be injurious to children in the home if they should hold of it: Heat together the yolk of one egg, one-third cupful of sweet milk, one level teaspoonful of sugar and a level teaspoonful of black pepper. Put mixture on a plate and place where alles aloud.
According to the opinion of a good many, the laying out of the front yard does not as often as it should give proper recognition of the value from the artistic point of view of a stretch of unbroken blue grass. It is better to reduce the beds in the lawn space to a minimum, arranging them for the most part as border features. This is just as well for the flowers, simplifies the care of the lawn and sets off the beauty of the carpet of grass in a becoming manner.
The German man of setting out fruit trees along the highways is to be tiled in Missouri. What is known as the Blue Book route, extending from the Missouri river at Kansas City to the Mississippi river at Louisiana. No, is to be planted to peach trees and will be hereafter known as the Elbera route, as it is to be lined with trees of that variety. A law is to be pressed which will insure the protection of the trees, while the fruit produced by them will become a part of the road fund for the upkeep of the highway.

A writer in the Prairie Farmer reports catching thirty-six rats in four days in a compartment trap baited with canned salmon. He uses a small quantity at the entrance of the trap and two or three times as much in the dining room. After being caught the rats are drowned in a tub of water.
A can four or five inches in diameter makes a convenient nesting place for the wrens. The opening should be about the size of half a dollar, just large enough to admit the wrens, but small enough to keep out the sparrows. Wrens, though small, are very active and among the most valuable of our insect destroyers.
The lice that attack different kinds of vegetables and fruit trees can be effectively kept in check by occasional spraying with a solution of tobacco extract. This may be given alone or with other sprays applied for other purposes. The sooner it is applied after the lice make their appearance the more effective will the results be.
Probably the best record that was ever made by a grade cow was that of a Holstein grade belonging to a Danish farmer living near Cedar Falls, Ia. During the month of April this cow gave 2,274 pounds of milk, from which were made 1,223 pounds of butter. If a better month's record than this has ever been made the writer does not know of it.
One farmer's wife has found a way of simplifying her work by raising chickens every other year and putting up fruit and other stuff the alternate seasons when she does not raise chickens. This arrangement gives her more time to attend to both, and she contends that the returns from her flock of hens are more than if she raised half as many chickens yearly.
Gophers are not only a nuisance because they pile up mounds of earth to vex the late man at laying time, but also because in their underground tunneling they' cut off and deyour the roots of all fauna and other plants. The pest in the garden but the most effective method is putting grain that has been soaked in a sweetened solution of strychnine sulphate in their runways. One taste of this doped corn does the business.
The state veterinary department of Iowa is seeking to secure the co-operation of the federal authorities and the railroads in a campaign which will bring about the general cleaning and disinfecting of the stock cars in which hogs are shipped to market. There would seem for a little question, as investigators contend, that the latter from germ laden cars scattered along the railroad right of way is a frequent cause of a spread of the disease.
The Florists' Exchange is authority for the statement that a group of women who live in Central City, Ky., are this year conducting a plant exchange for amateur gardeners. All varieties of pot plants are exchanged, also shrubs, seeds, slips and bulbs. Any one having more plants, etc., of a kind than he wishes is invited to bring them to the exchange and secure something that he does not have. A committee of ladies puts a value on the stuff brought in and that which is taken in exchange.
That small children would do well to give geese a wide berth is plainly shown in the single fate that befall Frank Clovine k. a ten year old lad, the son of a goose farmer, who lives at Wind Point, a short distance north of Racine, Wis. In driving the towls from the lake shore just before feeding time he struck the boss gender with a stick, with the result that the bird, with his muses, turned upon the boy. Five minutes after the boy was rescued by his father he died, both of his eyes having been pecked out.
BUTTERMAKING SUGGESTIONS.
The Washington experiment station has lately published some condensed hints on farm buttermaking which are good for farmers everywhere. If followed there would be great improvement in the quality of American dairy butter. The suggestions as given below should be used for reference:
Cool the cream from the separator as soon as possible to 55 degrees F. or lower.
*Never mix warm cream with cool cream.
Mix all the cream to be churned in one vat or can at least eighteen hours before churning.
Ripen at a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees F. for from six to eight hours, stirring frequently during this period.
Cool cream to churning temperature as soon as ripe.
Let the cream stand eight hours or more (overnight) at the churning temperature.
The temperature of churning ought to be such as to make the butter come in from thirty-five to forty minutes, usually 65 to 60 degrees F.
If it is desired to use artificial coloring it should be added to the cream just before churning.
Stop churning when the granules are about the size of peas, varying to the size of wheat, and draw off the buttermilk.
Wash the butter once with pure water at the churning temperature, agitating three or four times, and then drain.
Wash a second time with water about 4 degrees above churning temperature, agitating seven or eight times, and drain.
Add the salt wet while the butter is in granular form, using about one to one and one-half ounces for each pound of butter, according to the demands of the market. Work the butter just enough to distribute the salt evenly. If the butter is to go on the market it should be put up in neat, attractive packages.
A SHEEP AND WOOL CONFERENCE.
On June 2, 3 and 4 there was held in Washington a conference of those interested in the sheep and wool industry. Among many important topics discussed were the manufacturing value of American wools, the improvement of farm and ranch methods of handling wool, the possible adaptation of foreign methods to American conditions, the standardization of the wool clip and the prevention of losses by dogs and other predatory animals. As a rule, American wools are of high quality, but the indiscriminate sacking of wool, the use of poor twine and of insoluble paint in marking sheep are jointly responsible for a loss to producers estimated at from 5 to 20 per cent of the total clip.
RABBITS DESTRUCTIVE.
From the standpoint of the writer it seems like a good deal of a fiasco for rabbits to be protected by law, as they are in a number of central and eastern states, when they do a very large amount of damage to farmers and gardeners. Even though they may pull up some corn and eat some newly planted seed, there is ground for protecting phantasms and quail, for they more than pay for their cost of keep in the service they render. The rabbit, however, performs no such service, and the only excuse for encouraging their propagation is that men and boys may have something to shoot at. However, this ought not to weigh against the financial welfare of the farmer and gardener.
SULPHURET OF LIME.
The following is an English recipe for making sulphuret of lime, which is recommended as a remedy for curing poultry of the feather eating habit. Put three or four lumps of freshly burned lime the size of an egg into an iron pot and slake with boiling water, then stir in about six ounces of flowers of sulphur and add gradually two quarts of boiling water, stirring the while. Boil for an hour or so, then pour off the clear liquid, bottle and cork tight. A tablespoonful of this liquid to every six hens, put into the mash, is the best way to give it. Given a couple of times a week, this remedy is said to keep the plumage in good condition and soon puts a stop to the feather eating habit.
ABOUT TRIMMING TREES.
FOR those who undertake the trimming of trees for the first time it is a suggestion worth remembering to saw from beneath close to the tree on limbs of considerable size. After making a cut of fair depth the sawing may be done from the top side. This precaution prevents the splitting down of the limb and the marring of the trunk just beneath. A further safeguard in the cutting off of large limbs is to take them off a foot or more from the trunk, later taking off the stub. All limbs should be removed in such a way that the cut will be as close to the trunk as possible and on a line with the one of the trunk.
TOMATO BYPRODUCTS.
In Italy there are several manufacturing concerns that are now utilizing tomato waste in the making of valuable byproducts. From 1,500 tons of dried residue 150 tons of tomato seed oil have been secured and 800 tons of oil cake. The oil byproduct has been found a valuable element in the manufacture of soap.

SWEET PEA SHADES.
Popular This Summer
For Semi-dress Costumes.
CRAPE AFTERNOON GOWN.
Very wide girdles of materials matching the gown are seen on some imported models. Illustrated here is a gown of figured crape in sweet pen shades of pink and lavender. The wide girdle is edged with a ruching of pink taffeta ribbon, an embellishment which is seen also on the short sloped tunic and on the turned back cuffs. The vest and collar are of white organdie.
CAMPING OUTFITS.
What Is Needed For the Use of the Outdoor Girl
With summer the careful mother begins to think of camps for her growing girls. Where to send them is no more a matter of weight than how to outfit them inexpensively but comfortably. One sporting goods house has just opened a department for girls wherein everything from cap to sneaker may be obtained.
The first item, if the girl is to go to a regular camp, is, of course, bloomers. They range from black, navy blue or tan drill to those of black or navy blue serge, finished in the best manner.
Middy blouses to wear with them come in white without trimming, except for the blue or red collar and cuffs. There are stars on the collar, cuffs and pocket. The collar is a sailor or one, cut open at the neck, and the sleeves are three-quarter ones.
For the smaller girl there are two piece suits of one material. They come in good quality drill, in tan, with a navy blue or red sailor collar and trimming or in solid navy blue without trimming. For girls up to twelve years only the same suit comes in smaller sizes.
One piece swimming suits come in cotton serge in black or navy blue, in poplin in black or brown or in galatea in black or navy blue. They have the bloomers and blouse attached under a belt, but are made loose enough to allow free use of the limbs.
White canvas sneakers, high cut, with rubber soles, are about $2 a pair. They are not the only sneaker or outing shoe carried, however. The shop is stocked with every conceivable camping accessory, from woolen outing stockings to angora tan-o-shanters.
Black and White Wicker.
There is something quite attractive in the black and white wicker furniture. The pieces are so woven that the alternate colors are formed into broad bands or squares to decorate the chairs, tables, couches, etc. The creators of the black and white wicker also make the unusual pieces of furniture that give harmony to plaza and porch furnishings. These include the pretty wicker trays with folding legs (similar to those imported from Japan) and the porch pole vases and various flower holders. Of course these can be had in new designs in smoked bamboo, but the latter would not harmonize well with the black and white wicker.
The Vogue of Braid.
Colored braid is a popular trimming for suits. Usually braid of the color of the suit is used, but sometimes braid in dark blue or black or green is used. Braid sashes are one of the notes for the season. They are generally formed of two strips of braid stitched together lengthwise to form a girlie or sash five or six inches long. They are made of braid woven in various combinations of deep red, dark blue and green and black.
Coloring Matting
To dye matting, thoroughly clean it and then apply the dye with a broad, flat paint brush. A ten cent package of dye makes a gallon of coloring. When dry the matting can be made into rugs if desired. Each piece of the matting should be thoroughly cleaned before another part is done
The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or killa 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 irrealistible.—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty."
A Famous Old English Church.
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 800 feet high.
The light and spacious interior has
very lofty arches resting on slender
pillars. The church is said to have
as many doors as days in the week,
as many windows as weeks in the
year, as many pillars as months in the
year and as many steps up to its tower
as days in the year.
But He Didn't Go, Even Then.

Do you stop and look about you
And ask what is the day?
Do you see the flags a-flying
From every house and tree
And hear the children singing
A song of liberty?
Don't you see the nappy faces
In the crowds that pass you by?
Do you wonder why they're marching?
'Tis the glorious Fourth of July!

As She Is Wrote In England.
A correspondent sends to the British Weekly a rare bit of English. It was written by a woman in excusing her tardiness in answering an inquiry that had been addressed to her: "I would have written before, but I have been 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 stampedes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good cooking coal and of the limestone requisite for fixing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut.

Of course all bright boys and girls know about the trouble in Mexico and the efforts of Uncle Sam to avoid a cruel war. Also they have read about the mediators from Argentine, Brazil and Chile, who have been named the A. B. O. envoy, and the delegates from Mexico who came to talk matters over. With the latter party came the very smallest and youngest delegate ever known. He is little Senor del Campo, son of one of the diplomats attached to the Mexican delegation. Senor del Campo, the elder, acts as an interpreter for, those of his party who do not speak English. Of course Baby del Campo is not a real delegate, although he has attracted a great deal of attention. He doesn't need an interpreter either, because, being only six months old, he talks in baby language and everybody understands that, for it is pretty much the same all over the world. At any rate, Baby del Campo is the cutest member of the delegation.
Fourth of July Game.
There are lots of ways of having fun on the Fourth without the use of dangerous firecrackers. If you intend having a party for your little friends you can send out your invitations in the form of firecrackers. These are made of cardboard covered with red paper and a cord sticking out the middle of one end. The note asking your friends to come is slipped in this cardboard casing and sent through the mall. You all know the game of ninepins, don't you? Well, you can arrange the ninepins to look like big firecrackers by sawing down broomstick handles, painting the pieces red and gluing cord at the upper end of each. The pins are thrown down with rubber balls by the players, and each player has three turns. The one throwing down the greatest number of firecracker pins wins a prize, which may be anything appropriate for the day.
Flags of All Nations.
Those who live in large cities can buy all sorts of flags very cheap, but there is a heap of fun in making flags, and a pleasant afternoon can be spent on the Fourth of July if you but follow instructions: Open your dictionary or encyclopedia and find the page with the world's flags on it. Use ordinary writing paper for your flags and toothpicks for your staff. Either paste or sew each flag to its staff. Copy the designs from the book with pen or pencil or paint brush. One little boy made a whole set of these flags. He wrote the name of each one on the back and then he took the trouble to look up the history of the origin of every flag.
A. Jumping Bone.
The next time you have chicken for dinner save the wishbone. Tie a strong string double across the wishbone when it is clean and dry between the wide ends.
Put a piece of stick between the two lines of the string and twist around and around away from the flat side of the shaft of the bone, on which a little beeswax is stuck to hold the end of the stick while you lay the "toad" wax down on the table for a moment.
The twisted cord pulls so on the stick that the stuck end soon comes off the wax, the stick springs against the table and up goes Mr. Toad with a jump and a hop. It is fun. Try it.
A Smart Boy's Essay.
Jullus was asked to write an essay on "Patrick Henry." He wrote this: "Patrick was not a very bright boy. He had blue eyes and light hair. He got married and then cried, 'Give me liberty or give me death!'"
Do you see the flags a-flying
From every house and tree
And hear the children singing
A song of liberty?
Don't you see the happy faces
In the crowds that pass you by?
Do you wonder why they're marching?
'Tis the glorious Fourth of July!

'A horse at work appreciates and is benefited by a drink of cold water in warm weather just as much as his owner.
No one in the world works harder than the farmer's wife. Because of this fact she is entitled to every convenience possible for lightening and simplifying her labors.
Little chicks should be given a chance to scratch for their chick feed. The exercise thus afforded tends to keep them in good condition and insures their rapid growth.
The world's record for cotton picking was broken the other day by Miss Mary Montgomery of Stillwater, Oklaw, who gathered 700 pounds in one day. This girl herself weighs 121 pounds. She is a mighty active proposition.
At a recent London flower show one exhibitor showed a practically black tulip—at least it seemed a solid black at the distance of a few feet. This is a floral product that flower specialists have been striving for for a good many years.
The hen that is cooped up with a brood of chicks should be let out frequently to dust and, if she is lousy further measures should be taken to relieve her and her chicks of the pests, for they are sure to get them if she has 'em.

To the writer there is a good deal of attraction in the old fashioned blushpink illac. It is a homely color and the fragrance is nothing much, but both color and fragrance bring back the memory of many happy boyhood-days when the illac bushes were in bloom.
Not all the suckers in the country are just off the farm. This is shown in the case of the Chicago resident who the other day paid $250 in cash for what he supposed was a device for printing $2 bills—as many of them as he wanted. The country chap would know better than that.
If the geraniums get root bound it is a good idea to take slips from them and plant them in good rich soil in the flower garden. By fall, under favorable conditions, they should make thrifty plants which will give an abundance of bloom soon after they are potted and returned to the house.
The writer has found no method so good for warding off crows as that of killing two or three members of the tribe and hanging them up by the hind legs at the top of a pole eight or ten feet long. This kind of warning is so suggestive that the birds take the hint and keep at a safe distance.
It is questionable if one-half of the eggs laid by mourning doves ever come to hatching time. This is due to the fact that these birds are most inoffensive, put up with the attacks of other birds and small animals without protest and build a most slovenly and flimsy nest, which is often wrecked by the wind.
The output of California's grape industry is estimated to have a value of $30,000,000 annually. Three hundred and thirty thousand acres are devoted to the growing of grapes, 50,000 acres being table grape vines, 110,000 acres raisin grapes and 170,000 wine grapes. The total production of all kinds of grapes is put at 900,000 tons annually.
Of the poisonous plants found on the western ranches the larkspur loco weed causes the largest loss to stockmen. Cattle are the chief sufferers, as sheep are not harmed by eating the weed, while horses seldom touch it. The department of agriculture is putting forth such effort as it can to eliminate the danger from this and other poisonous weeds.
A case came to the writer's attention the other day where a hired man dropped the lines behind a four horse disking outfit to chase a nearby gopher. He did not get the gopher; but, worse than this, the horses ran away, and one of them was so badly cut with the sharp disks that it had to be shot. The instance as related seems to make quite plain the wisdom of the old saw that urged the doing of one thing at a time and doing that thing well.
Every acre of garden and orchard would be the better off from the stand-point of yield of vegetables and fruit were it to have a hive of bees. The little fellows do not require a great deal of care, and $5 will give one a start with a swarm and the equipment needed to house them. Apart from the service they render in the cross fertilization of vegetable and fruit blossoms, they many times pay for their keep in the honey they produce.

Turning Lead Into Gold.
Professor F. Soddy, F. R. 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 alchemists of the middle ages searched so long.—London Spectator.
