The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXIX CLOSING EXERCISES PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSING EXERCISES PUBLIC SCHOOLS SIXTY TOTAL NUMBER GRADUATED Large Crowds at all Schools—Children Acquitted Themselves very Creditably—List of Graduates. The closing exercises of the public schools were held yesterday morning and were attended by a large concourse of people. From early morning until the hour set for the exercises to begin hundreds of persons were seen moving in the direction of the schools. The accustomed large crowd, of course, was present at the schools in time to witness the goodly bit of the excitement occasioned by the promotions, which are made known the last day of school, and as in former years, those students who had used well their time were all smiles as the principals called out their names, while the less fortunate ones who were left behind presented the usual downcast appearance. The commencement exercises were all very interesting and were highly applauded by the audiences. Especially pleasing was the sining, while the speaking was of the usual high order. In all there were sixty graduates from the three schools, the Maple Street turning out thirteen, the East Broad twenty-three, the West Broad twenty-four. The Maple Street had their exercises at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, both of the other schools using the principal's room. West Broad Street School— Ruth Noisette, Marie Williams, Jeannett Banham, Delphine Coles, Bell Delegall Evelena Green, Albertha Jackson, Georgia Shellman, Naomi Noisette, Florrie Boyd, Susie Davis, Maggie Edwards, Frederica, Mac Key Jennie Smith, Manie Brown Anna Lewis, 'Beatrice Clark, Wm.

Association's Outing a Grand Success The afternoon outing of the Savannah Home Association to Daufuskie, on Tuesday of last week was absolutely a great success. Never before in the history of our city has so many people congregated to attend an affair of this kind. There were fully fifteen hundred persons upon the wharf seeking to get passage upon one of the two boats that would take the pleasure seekers on this trip. Much is the regret of the members of this Association, that they were unable to accommodate their large number of friends who were left behind on account of the capacity of the boats. However, the members feel gratified for the efforts and extend to all their many thanks. For the pleasure of those who were unable to go, arrangements have been perfected for another two boat excursion on August 11th. Notice to the Public. I wish to state that the subscription list for the collection of money to bury Sam Walls was not authorized by any of his relatives and none of the money has been received. The funeral expenses were paid individually by me, his brother. Enoch Walls of Bordentown, N. J. THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Widows and Orphaus' Home, Americus, Ga., where the Grand Lodge of Masons met this week. ADMISSION TO BASEBALL PARK REDUCED Left Field Bleachers Reduced to fifteen cents...New Bleachers Remaining the Same Price. Beginning with the return of the Savannah baseball team to the city on July 4th, there will be a change in the price of admission to colored fans. Heretofore the general entrance fee has been 25 cents but in order to increase the attendance and at the same time to enable those to attend the game who cannot afford the old price, a reduction of 10 cents will be made for seats in the old left field bleachers, making the price of admission 15 cents. This reduction does not apply to seats in the new right field bleachers, where the price will remain 25 cents and, as heretofore, the colored fan will be welcomed. There is no doubt but that the reduction in price to the left field bleachers will prove a boom to the attendance at the park, for with a quarter those who are not particularly bothered with the sun shining in their faces can make the trip to the park on the cars and at the same time witness the game, all for 25 cents. The article of ball being put up by the local team this year has been very classy and deserves much better attendance than it has been receiving. With a double season championship team last year and the first half winners this year the fans ought to rally unitedly to the support of the team and do their part in bringing to the city the pennant for 1914. The treatment which the local management accords the fans, both white and colored is, all that can be desired and appreciation of the efforts to make the local park a place of real amusement should be generally shown. The remainder of the season will most likely prove very interesting with the local team enjoying the advantage of taking part in the final play whether they win the last half or not, as they have already won the first half of the season. So let's all go out and show our encouragement of the teams in attempting to bring to Savannah a second successive pennant. Excursion Fares to Atlanta Account Young Peoples' Congress via Central of Georgia Railway, $9.05 Round Trip. Tickets on sale Jnly 6th, and 7th, with final return limit of July 15th.

Mr. Branham was well thought of at St. Emma's and made a fine record there. Republican Progressive Club Meeting. The Republican Progressive Club held their regular meeting on Wednesday night June 24th. This president made some very interesting remarks in favor of the race. Among the speakers were some very distinguished white citizens who urged upon the colored citizens to pay their taxes and be qualified and become a legal voter. Mayor Legree of Burroughs was present and made some striking remarks. All colored citizens are cordially invited to attend our meetings which are held on Wednesday night of each week, at our hall, East Broad and Henry street Lane. A distinguished speaker will address the club on next Wednesday night. Come out and hear something good and bring your friends along. Mr. Wm. Lawrence is president of the club and Mr. Raymond King is secretary. The Piney Wood Club's Smoker The smoker pulled off by the Piney Wood Club at the Masonic Temple on Thursday night was enjoyable. They had as their guests about one hundred and fifty jolly fellows. The affair was a lively one. Music by an orchestre, singing by quartettes and speech making kept things a going. There is no doubt that this smoker was the liveliest affair of its kind given for some time. Everybody seem to have enjoyed themselves. The president of the club, Mr. W. W. Mumphris, deserves credit for the manner in which the affair was handled.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING IN THE SOUTH Well Prepared. Men Will be Wanted in the South to Manage Farms Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 22—A few days ago Gov. Emmett O'Neal of Alabama, addressing one of the Agricultural Colleges,—there are nine of them in Alabama—for white men, said that if he was a prouder of one than another in his administration as governor of the state it was in the liberality of the legislature in supporting the agricultural schools and the progress the schools had made not only in teaching and experimentation, but in opening the eyes of young white men of intelligence to the possibilities of the farming industry in Alabama. He went on to say that where once farming was either a luxury or a necessity now it is a big business, and only prepared men of sound ability would be found in it ten years hence. The South is really undergoing a revolution in farming, and the farm lands there becoming the best farm property in the country. Crop rotation, scientific cultivation and the show given the young husbandries, together with the general diffusion of intelligence as to farming, have all had a striking bearing on the notable improvements in farming. Most of the big experiments in agricultural development are being made in the south and many of the big salaries paid for farm management are being paid out to managers of Southern farms. Also, the old plantation idea, that embraced forty mules and a thousand acres, is giving way to the small farm idea, that involves rotation and intensive farming. With its experiment station, its great agricultural building, its 2400 acres, 1000 of which are under cultivation Tuskegee Institute has developed one of the agricultural schools of the South. Graduates from this department are in demand in almost every state in the union, and very often flattering salaries are held out as an inducement to young men to manage farms, teach agriculture or head colonies. The post-course is abreast of the striking agricultural progress of the times, and the regular course, both in theory and practice, has received the endorsement of leading agricultural scientists. The department of research, including a course in agricultural chemistry, has made important contributions to the science of agriculture. Circumstances. Circumstances are things roundabout. We are in them, not under them. Walter Savage Landor. DEDICATION JULY 15 CARNEGIE LIBRARY DEDICATION JULY 15 CARNEGIE LIBRARY PROFESSOR S. A. GRANT TO DELIVER ADDRESS New Library Will be Turned Over to Curators on Tenth of Of Next Month—Building Very Conveniently Appointed The new Colored Carnegie Library which is being erected on Henry street, east, opposite Dixon park, is about completed and will be turned over to the curators on the 10th of next month. The building is one of the most beautiful and best appointed edifices of the kind which Negroes have at their disposal in any portions of the South. It was made possible by a gift of $12,000,00 from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the land having been purchased with money raised by popular subscription from Negroes and charitable white friends in the city. The building is a two story structure being 60 feet by 35. On the first floor is a lecture room 32 1-2 feet by 41 fitted with movable folding chairs and having a capacity of about 175 persons. This room may be used for fairs, entertainments and other purposes. The furnace room and lavatories are also on this floor. On the second floor is the library room proper. This room is admirably ventilated and the light is excellent. The building is constructed of red 1 inch brick raked joint with black mortar. The interior wood work is of pine and cypress and the floors of the first story are of cement, those up stairs being of rift pine. The outside wood work is of bronze color and the inside of modern English oak. The walls are of a beautiful bluish tint. The book cases extend to the rear end of the hall, and the librarian's desk is near the front entrance. The tables and chairs are of fumed oak. The dedicatory exercises will take place on Wednesday afternoon July-15th at 5:30 o'clock, Prof. S. A. Grant of the Georgia State College, delivering the address. The entire dedicatory program will appear in next week's issue. Knights of Tabor at Church The Knights and Daughters of Tabor celebrated their 46th anniversary on Sunday, June 21, 1914, at Friendship Baptist Church. Rev. Collier, gave them a very excellent sermon. Both Tabor and Juvenile tents were out in full bloom. Messrs. E.J. Turner, and D. D. Simpson, the district grand treasurer and secretary respectively, were present and were well pleased with the showing. Mrs. Julia A. Ward was appointed district grand deputy. She has set up three or four tents already and with such a worker as she is, as a deputy, we predict for the organization a great success. Contractor Pharrow's New Car Contractor R. E. Pharrow, of Atlanta, who is erecting the Wage Earners new forty thousand dollar bank building at Alice and West Broad streets, motored to the city last Friday from Atlanta, where he purchased a beautiful fifty horse power. six cylinder Velie touring car. The car has attracted considerable attention here, being the only 1914 model of this make in the city. It is built along very graceful lines and is one of the trimmest looking machines here. It is a five passenger car and one of the best medium good cars built. Mr. Pharrow is one of the three Negroes of the state to posses a car of this make. Dancing Class Well attended The dancing class which was organized by Messrs. C Hardwick, Eugene Green and W. J. Smith a short time ago, is meeting with much success and its sessions every Monday from 5:30 p.m. to 11 o'clock are well attended. The music for the class is furnished by Middleton's orchestra, and light refreshments are served. The class meets at the Catholic ball, 36th and Bulloch streets. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson XIII.—Second Quarter, For June 28, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Heb. iv, 14 to v, 10. Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Luke xix, 10—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—Christ's Table Talk, Luke xiv, 7-24. Golden Text, Luke xiv, 11. "Every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted"—a threefold message in the house of one of the chief Pharisees who had invited Him to eat bread on the Sabbath day; a message on humility for the guests, on recompense at the resurrection for the host and man's indifference to God's provision and invitation for one of the guests who spoke of the kingdom. LESSON II.-The Journey to Emmaus, Luke, xxiv, 13-35. Golden Text, Romvill, 34, "It is Christ Jesus that died—yea, rather, that was raised from the dead." Here we see the reality of Christ's resurrection body having the nail wounds in hands and feet, a tangible body of flesh and bones, that could be handled, that could walk and eat and also pass through unopened doors and vanish at pleasure. LESSON III.-The Cost of Discipleship, Luke xiv, 25-35. Golden Text, Matt. xv, 25, "Whosoever would save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it." The difference between being a Christian and a disciple is very marked, the cost of our salvation falling wholly on Christ, but the cost of discipleship on the believer, salvation being a gift, but reward in proportion to service. J. LESSON IV.—The Lost Sheep and the Lost Coln, Luke xv, 1-10. Golden Text, Luke xv, 10. "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth"—a threefold parable concerning the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This lesson concerns the Son and the Spirit. The sinner's helplessness and proneness to stray is seen in the sheep, and his deadness in the piece of money. LESSON Y.—The Lost Son, Luke xv, 11-24. Golden Text, Luke xv. 18. "I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight." That was not all he intended to say (verses 18, 19), but it was nearly all that he did say (verse 21). The father's welcome cut it short. The whole parable teaches us what God-thinks of lost ones and how unwilling He is that any should perish. LESSON VI.—The Unjust Steward, Luke xvi, 1-13. Golden Text, Luke xvi, 10. "He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much." We are stewards of all that with which the Lord has intrusted us, whether it be the gospel or talents or time or money, and we are using it either for ourselves or for Him, for time or eternity. LESSON VII.—The Rich Man and Lazarus, Luke xvi, 19-31. Golden Text, Prov. xxi, 13. "Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he shall also cry, but shall not be heard." This is a story of the rich poor and the poor rich. The rich man lived only for himself and had no use for God or His word and no belief in a future till he found himself in torment. LESSON VIII.—Unprofitable Servants Luke xvii, 1-10. Golden Text, I Cor. 1, 31. "He that glorleth, let him glory in the Lord." If we do only what seems to be our duty, what we think we ought to do, we are unprofitable, but when the love of Christ constraineth us and we are so occupied with Him and His kingdom and glory as to be above being offended with people or even with Himself, whatever He may do, we shall better glorify Him. LESSON IX.—The Grateful Samaritan, xvil, 11-19. Golden Text, Luke xvil, 18. "Were there none found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger." We wrote on the Holy Spirit lesson in I Cor. ii, as well as on the leaper lesson, and saw that all unbelievers as well as Israel are spiritually lepers and unclean, but when the Holy Spirit, who alone can convince of sin, shines in us by His word, then come cleansing and real gratitude. LESSON X.—The Coming of the Kingdom, Luke xvil, 20-37. Golden Text, Luke xvil, 21, "Lo, the kingdom of God is within you"—more correctly, as in the margin, "among you." The kingdom which was at hand did not come as He said in Luke xix, 11, 12. The kingdom is postponed and will not come till He shall return in glory with His church, now being gathered. LESSON XI.—The Friend of Sinners. Luke xvll, 9-14; xix, 1-10. Golden Text. Mark il, 17. "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." There is no Saviour nor salvation for such as think that they are good enough, but for such as the publican in the temple or Zaccheus, for poor or rich, there is abundant mercy and a welcome from Him who came to seek and to save the lost. LESSON XII.—The Great Refusal. Mark x, 17-31. Golden Text, Luke xvll, 13. "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." The great contrast is between the empty helpless little children who came to His arms and were blessed and the rich young ruler, full of his riches and his own righteousness, who went away empty because he was not willing to be emptied.

Office, 509 West Broad Street, Savannah Georgia J. S. Perry, Supt A. B. Singfield, Gen'l Supt. 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. Appropriate Ejaculation. "I have been digging for water on my place." "Well, well!"—Baltimore American. Strength of Eggshells. Most people are aware of the power of eggshells to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit 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 shells was 13-1000 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, lapsing into his native speech, said, "Gle us yer pelty, mon." "Vat?" 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 Scotsman. "If the pulr mannle bad na' been kilt it would have been a very extraordinary fact, but as the pulr body was kilt—why, sir, I thought it was na' extraordinary or unusual." 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 nonsuse 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 vaseline. 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 cnt 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 pest-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 393 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 get hold of it: Beat together the rolk 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 dies abound. 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 plan of setting out fruit trees along the highways is to be tried in Missouri. What is known as the Blue Book route, extending from the Missouri river at Kansas City to the Mississippi river at Louisiana, Mo., 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 passed 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 reader of this department living in Washington writes for the government bulletin giving in detail the experiments which have been conducted in the line of raising beans in semiarid sections instead of allowing the soil to lie idle under summer fallow. The bulletin in question is Farmers' Bulletin No. 561 and may be had by directing a request to the department of agriculture. Washington. The fact that our correspondent has written as he has for this bulletin seems to justify the statement that any bulletin or bulletins on a given subject may be had without expense by sending a request for them to the department at Washington, as stated. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.ETRIGG REGISTER. ROCKFORD, N. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] If the work horses have a scant ration of hay morning and noon and a generous grain ration they will give the better service. Codling moths, which are the parents of the apple worms, are responsible for a damage to fruit growing interests annually that is placed at $3,000,000. A patch of rape a few yards square, if it gets a good start before the hens are turned on to it, will furnish them a fine supply of green food all through the summer and fall. A Nebraska farmer who has observed the habits of meadow larks suggests that floats should be put in the farm water tanks to keep these and other birds from drowning when they come to drink. --- 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 belug 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 hired man at haying time, but also because in their underground tunneling they cut off and devour the roots of alfalfa and other plants. The pests may be trapped, but the most effective method is putting grain that has been soaked in a sweetened solution of strychnia 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 to be little question, as investigators contend, that the litter 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 tragic fate that befall Frank Cloumieck, 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 fowls from the lake shore just before feeding time he struck the boss gander with a stick, with the result that the bird, with his mates, 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 55 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 sucking 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 flasco 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 shake 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.

HOME OFFICE: ODD FELLOWS BLDG, ATLANTA, GA. W. LEWIS WILLIAMS, Mgr. Savannah Branch. Miss RETA EVANS, Clerk. 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 "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." FLEETING TIME. The unveiling of an elaborate bronze tablet, a memorial to Harriet Tubman and a gift of the citizens of Auburn, N. Y., on Friday evening, June 12, ought to be an event of more than passing moment to each and every lover of the race and especially its stalwart sons and daughters who have rendered more than ordinary service in its behalf. As was said by Dr. Booker T. Washington who delivered the principal address at the unveiling ceremonies, Harriet Tubman was a great woman—styled the conductor of the underground railroad, and rightly so, she rendered unusually valuable service to the struggling men and women of the race who sought and heartened unto the call of Freedom. That the citizens of Auburn esteem Harriet Tubman as one of their first citizens, was evinced by their unanimity of action when it was suggested that a memorial tablet be placed to her. The memorial now rest in the county court house where it will serve as an inspiration to our younger people to do and dare for the race. Long live the memory of Harriet Tubman, the heroine of a thousand land battles; the great builder and manipulator of the underground railroad. --- It is to be regretted that the Negro voters of New York City are warming up to an unusual degree over the candidacy of William Sulzer, the deposed governor of New York state, for new gubernatorial honors. While it is true that as governor of New York, Sulzer showed unusual friendliness and courage in dealing with questions and issues affecting the people, having signed the Regimental, the Levy and the Emancipation bills, at the same time his leaving office was under a cloud so portentious, that it is without doubt bad political judgment to follow in his wake at this time. We have a feeling that the Negro voters of New York state, who have always shown tact and common sense in forming their political alliances in the past, are allowing their sympathy and blind admiration for the deposed governor to run away with their good judgment. In lining up with Congressman Sulzer, we believe that the Negro voters of the state of New York are making a political blunder sufficiently grave as to cause them a loss of much political prestige in the future. While we admire Sulzer the man, yet we do not admire Sulzer the governor. It is true that he was in a large measure a victim of the bosses whose opposition to him was due to his failure to give to them implicit obedience; nevertheless, he has not been able up to this time to completely vindicate himself of the charges that resulted in his removal from office. There is nothing that would please us more than to see a fearless champion of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, grace the gubernatorial office of the Empire State. Sulzer seemed to have been such a man. However, we believe that the Negro voters will play safer and safer politics if they will cut aloof from Sulzer until they are cock sure that not a vestige of the charges preferred against him in the investigation remains to be proven false. The attempt to force Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds. out of office by a few of the Negro hating senators is easily seen through by those who have given the matter any thought. Mr. Johnson has given efficient service and naught can be found against him along this line, but because of his identity with the Negro race Senator Hoke Smith and others desire his forced removal. Should Mr. Johnson be put out or resign before his successor is appointed, and it ap- pears from present indications that President Wilson had promised to allow the position to remain in possession of a member of the Negro race, his deputy, a white man, would fall heir to the place. This is what the narrow Negro hating senators are attempting to bring about, for they realize that should Mr. Johnson resign and another Negro's name be presented to congress for confirmation, many months will probably elapse before the matter is finally decided and in the meantime the white deputy who succeeds Mr. Johnson will be holding office, the very thing they are anxious to bring about. Mr. Johnson has proven an exceptionally capable and efficient official and we see no reason why he should vacate the position until his successor has been appointed and confirmed. If, as it has been stated, President Wilson, according to a pre-election agreement, has promised to appoint a Negro to the position which the race has held so long, then it is encumbent upon Mr. Johnson to hold the position at all hazzards until his successor is appointed so as to allow the president ample opportunity to make good his word. Spring—Nelson Nuptials A June wedding claiming much attention and one that was attended by probably the largest crowd ever assembled at the First Congregational church on such an occasion was that of Miss Adeline C. Spring and Mr. Hugh G. Nelson which occurred at 8 o'clock on the evening of the 17th. The church was decorated by Breckenbridge and was beautiful with ferns and flowers. A half hour before the ceremony began every available seat in the church was taken and those who arrived after this hour had to view the marriage from without, where there were several hundred persons. A color scheme of pink and white was artistically carried out in the decorations, both at the church and at the Spring's home on West Huntingdon street, where a reception was held after the wedding. To the strains of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," Mrs. Ophelia Walton Hare playing the organ, the bridal party entered the church. First cane the four ushers, in pairs, Messrs Houston Tolbert, Ward Flood, Calvin Walker and Edgar Blair, followed by the three little flower girls, Juanita Heywood, Adel Hare and Thelma Hart, bearing baskets of pink roses and wearing dainty little pink frocks. Then came the maid of honor, Miss Luella Spring, sister of the bride, followed by the bridesmaid, Miss Lillie Spring the bride's younger sister, and Mr. Henry H. Spring, brother of the bride. Next to enter was the bride on the arm of her father. They were met at the altar by the groom and best man, Mr. William Bagnell, who entered from the annex. The bridal party stood within the sanctuary while the ceremony was performed in an impressive manner by the Rev. William L. Cash, pastor of the church. The bride wore a gown of crepe meteor with bodice and tunic of chiffon and lined with seed pearls and her slippers were a part of her mother's wedding attire, Her veil was worn in cap effect with a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor, Miss Luella Spring, wore a gown of valace, the waist drapery, being caught up with pink rose buds. She carried pink rose buds tied with pink tulle. The bridesmaid, Miss Lillie Spring, was gowned very prettily in shadow lace trimmed with pink rose buds and girdle of pink rose buds tied with pink tulle. The bride's mother was becoming attired in black satin. The bride, who is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Spring is very popular and the groom is a successful house builder. The bride and groom left the midnight after the wedding for Greensboro, N. C. for an indefinite stay. Her traveling gown was a midnight blue broad cloth coat suit worn with a cream silk blouse. She wore a black chip straw hat with pink rosebuds. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson received many handsome gifts, among them a handsome chest of silver, the gift of Mrs. Janette Screven, and a silver service from Mr. George Carr, Sr. Improvement Society Meets The Industrial Improvement Association will hold a meeting at the office of the Negro Employment Exchange, 457 West Broad street, Monday night June 29th, at 8:30 o'clock.

Lindsay The eminent standpoint from which it is our province to write, we say to you, that the field of Negro enterprises and business prospects in this community lies immediately before us, as it were, in prospective. Its surface is dotted all over with colors of varied hue, which vie in interest and attraction. The scene grows in beauty as it advances upon the delighted visions, diffusing an electric glow, until at length the ideal culminates in the real, and the rescued genius of the various Negro businesses, as they lift their struggling heads above the competitive twentieth century conflict and looms up triumphantly in the foreground. Here, our efforts in business among our own kitn and kin, are no longer a myth or guess-work, or "catch as catch can," but is a sten reality and a permanent fixture. The businesses which are being so successfully operated by our people, are handled and managed by men who have been trained in their special lines and have the greatest regard for system. Take for example the well managed plant of The Savannah Tribune, whose owner and manager is that pioneer Negro editor, Sol. C. Johnson, who gives to the reading public one of the brightest, cleanest and certainly one of the most interesting journals published by the race anywhere. The Savannah Pharmacy is another business owned, operated and controlled by members of the race, of which we all are proud. Scott Bros. Dry goods, notions and gents haberdashery is one among the substantial and permanent assets of the race. These young men not only handle shoes, dry goods and notions but operate one of the finest soda founts to be seen among our people anywhere. We should be only too glad to tell the public in detail of Young Bros. and of their fine stores and what they keep for sale, one of which is located at the corner of Burroughs and 36th street, west, and the other at 507 West Broad and of Stephens the grocer, and Monro, the undertaker, and about the other undertaking establishments, Seabrook and and the Royal-Johnson Co., but why tell you about these enterprises? They are here and here to stay. One of the finest play houses owned by Negroes in the South is located near the corner of West Broad and Oak streets. Negro, Savannah boasts lustily of their two banks, one of which is regarded as being the pioneer among our people in this state, I refer to the Wage Earners. They are now completing one of the finest Negro banking houses in the country. I would like to tell you of the six Negro Insurance companies in your midst which are furnishing profitable employment to one(128) hundred and twenty eight members of the race, right here in Savannah alone. The real estate dealers of the race are men of whom we should feel proud. Special mention here is made of one, Mr. G. H. Bowen, than whom there is no safer man to entrust your business. In our next article we will attempt to tell you more about some of our business men whom we find quite hard to catch up with. The moral, business man, advertise. In our next issue, we will tell you about fifteen of the most loyal, fairest and certainly the most accommodating Negro physicians to be found anywhere, presided over by that hustling praticioner, Dr. G. W. Smith. More Anon. St. Philip's Church The forty-ninth anniversary of St. Philips A. M. E. church came to a close on Sunday night. Rev. Singleton delivered several fine discourses during the week.

One month ago, dear brother, you left me, and at a time when I least expected it, but I know God has a time for all. His saints to die and He prepares a place for them in the world on high. Oh, how I loved you. But Jesus loved you best, So He sent His angels to take you Unto the land of rest. Sleep on, dear soul, in peaceful slum- In memory of my loving daughter, MARIE F. DAVIS, who died in New York on June 12, 1909. Can I ever forget the moments When the chariot swung so low Can I ever forget the hour While my heart was aching so? Can I estimate the value Of my dear, true Marie? Can I sing too loud her praises Though they ring through years and Do I love her? Yes I love her, And I feel my loss her gain; She will no more toil and struggle, For in Heaven there is no pain. She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping, Resting till the trumpet shall sound, Calling her to join the ransom Robed in white with jewels crowned. Her loving mother, Addie S. Davis, New York City.

Berean College Closes The Berean college of Pniladelphia was the scene of a brilliant assemblage last Thursday evening when the graduates from the various departments received their diplomas. There were twenty-three members in the class. Miss Harriete E. Reynolds was president and Miss Sarah Leatherbury secretary. Mr. Martin Brumbaugh, Superintendent of the Board of Education of Philadelphia, made the opening address while the address to the graduates was delivered by Reverend Floyd Tomkins of Holy Trinity Episcopal church. The salutatorian was Miss Rosa Lee Pitts and the valedictorian, Miss Harriete E. Reynolds. Both acquitted themselves admirably and were loudly applauded for their gracefulness and the manner in which they delivered theiressays. They were showered with flowers and gifts from their many friends. Miss Reynolds received a diploma from the Literary Department, and a teacher's certificate from Domestic Science department. The music under the direction of Mr: W. Franklin Hoxter of the University of Pennsylvania was beautifully rendered and too much praise could not be given to the singing of Harry Burleigh's "Deep River." Among the Savannahians present were Mrs. Richard Bright and Miss Nellie Bright. INVEST Invest! Invest! Invest!

All graduates, under graduates and friends of the University are urged to be present. Tabernacle .Baptist .Church Without the blowing of horns or the sounding of trumphets, The Tabernacle Baptist Church on West Huntingdon street, is making tremendous progress under the leadership of Rev. E. D. Davis, and in the meantime, lending unusual encouragement to Negro enterprises. Having succeeded in raising many hundred dollars, the congregation will soon begin the erection of a handsome new church edifice on Montgomery street. It is indeed a pleasure to note that every dollar of the church finance passes over the counters of a Negro financial institution. Rev. Davis and hjs people believe in the race and its enterprises. He preaches and teaches race pride and as a result, there is not to be found anywhere in the city a congregation more loyal to the business ventures of the race than the congregation of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. In teaching and preaching race pride and race patronage, Rev. Davis and his people are the leaders in a field worthy of commendation. The Tribune finds pleasure in calling the attention of its readers to the tangible results of the efforts of the people of Tabernacle Baptist Church and their loyalty to the business interests of the race.

Years'ago a tradesman whose name is now a household word was employed in a modest capacity in a west end shop in London. While exhibiting some delicate ware to the very first customer he served he let it fall and break. The customer, a doctor, good naturedly took the blame and paid for the broken article. Years later the salesman, now a wealthy man, called on the doctor, reminded him of the incident and settled on him $5,000 a year for life-London Express. Whittier's Applause In his declining years the poet Whittier was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote the poet's lines: I know not where his islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care. Great applause greeted the quotation, and Whittier joined in the hand-clapping. "I suppose I must have had my mind on something else. I had no recollection of having written the verse." he said apologetically when his attention was called to the authorship Just So. "Why do you write so many letters to the newspapers, old man? Do you suppose anybody wants to see your views in print?" "Well, it's better than talking to yourself"-Judge. After the Movies. "Whit's wrang noo? Did ye no' like "The Battle o' Waterloo?" "Waterloo! Dye no' ken my grand- father fought in the battle. and I never seen him in a' the pictures!" -Glasgow News. A Lame Excuse. "A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared: "You didn't challenge me! "N-no, sir," faltered the sentinel, saluting. "Well, why didn't you?" the colonel demanded. "Excuse me, sir," said the sentinel, "hut I thought—I beg your pardon, sir—I thought you was a camel." "You are charged," said a magistrate, "with talking back at an officer. Have you anything to say?" "Dayvil a word, your honor," replied the culprit. "Ol've said too much already." "Philadelphia Ledger. AND 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. "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 sieve 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. "I expect they will play kissing games, and if so you may find yourself disqualified for roughness."—Washington Herald. "Doctor. I'm feeling awful.

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 Talsum 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 shoemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles.

Popular This Summer For Semi-dress Costumes. ```markdown ``` 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 pea 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 organdle. 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 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 tann, 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 tam-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, conches, 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 girdle 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. To dye matting, thoroughly clean it and then apply the dye with a broad, flat paint brush. A ten cent package or 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. "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 raint 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.

"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. 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. Homamada 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.

Beloved One — Well, pa, doesn't that prove he's businesslike? * There Was a Changs: 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.

"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.

"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 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 Palm 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! 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 pennles. 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, Ilkley, Yorkshire, England. The Coveted Hand. The young man had gone to the heless' father—always a ticklish job—but he took his courage with an iron iron. "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. Wife—If I'd known that you were after my money I would never have listened to you. Husband-And if I'd known you'd be so mighty close with your money I would never have proposed. Philadelphia Ledger.

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 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. Mexican Hats.

The Sleeperless Saven. "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 themsaves 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 rosing majority," said the hollow eyed juror, with a pensive attempt to be facetious. Chicago Tribune. YOUNG BROS.

Sunday was memorial day, a fine program was carried out, and we thank our friends for their presence at the various exercises. Some beautiful plants were brought in memory of loved ones. Rev. Gilbert, president of Selma University., Selma, Ala., spoke for us at the Sunday school exercises in the afternoon. He gave us many excellent thoughts to take away with us. At the morning service Rev. Clarke gave us much food for thought in his very excellent sermon. The chautauqua began its sessions Monday with a grand address by Rev. Taylor of St. Stephen's Church. We have two interesting subjects for Sunday, we hope to have a large congregation at each service as these promise to be two powerful sermons. Services tomorrow as follows: Prayer service 6:30 a.m.; preaching 11 a.m., subject—"Accompanied by God;" Sunday school 3:15 p. m.; B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m.; preaching 8:15 p. m., subject.

He blocked her plans for adding to the sociological establishment as well as he could without spoiling the domestic entente, for he disliked pets. Then she wanted ichthyological accessions in the way of goldfish and nagged her husband until he grudgingly consented to the purchase. "Oh, very well. then." he muttered gloomily. "But I hate the noisy things."—New York Post. His Trouble. Friend—Don't worry because your sweetheart has turned you down since you lost your money. There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. Jilted one—Yes, but I've lost my bait. Art. Friend—What! You pawned your one good coat to get canvas for your painting? Artist—Yes. Friend—And how much did you get for the picture? Artist—Nearly enough to get my coat out. —Exchange. And Went. "When I leave you tonight"-began Mr. Stoplate. "Goodness!" interrupted Miss Teresa sleep. "Coming again tonight?" He glanced at the clock and apprehended her meaning.—Exchange. Not Garrulous. Client—What! You expect me to pay you 253 francs for taking possession of such a small inheritance! You should have warned me it would cost so much. Lawyer—My motto, sir, is "Deeds, not words"—Paris Pele Mele. SORROWS The sorrow of yesterday is as nothing, that of today is bearable, but that of tomorrow is gigantic because indistinct.—Eupides. Fatal Disease. A young painter who had just finished a picture insisted upon a friend calling to see it. "There, now," enthused the artist, "you see my new picture! What's the matter with that?" "I don't know," replied the bored friend, "but I should say it was a case of art failure."—National Monthly. Stubbornness. Mule headed stubbornness is the perseverance of a man you don't like. Columbia State. The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the English channel, and nine out of ten travelers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of sea" is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luz up to Zaullac or across the Mediterranean "race" from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a "true" sea. The "wickedest sea" is encountered in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern portion of Cape Colony.—London Globe. Not Alone. "Dear me, Uncle Ephraim," exclaimed the bright western girl as she met the old gentleman in the hallway, "you don't know how surprised I am to see you! Did you travel all the way from the east alone?" "Naw," he replied, deeply offended at the question, as he put his carpetbag down. "There were forty or fifty people on the same train."—Exchange. Tender Steak. Broke It Gently. A miner got killed and a tactful associate was delegated to break the news to the widow. So the tactful fellow called at her house and said: "With your golden hair, blue eyes and pink and white complexion, ma'am, you'd break every heart in town if you wore widow's weeds." "And you are a widow, too," said the tactful miner quickly, seizing his chance. "Bill's head and legs and arms was just blown off in an explosion. But you're goln' to look good in black, though!" Not Good at Riddles. A lawyer was questioning a new client, a widow, the other day about her history. "My history," she replied, "is simplicity itself. My first was the happiness of my life, my second was goodness itself, my third"— "Excuse me, madam," interrupted the attorney, "but really we aren't here to guess charades." CHEERFULNESS. Great is a cheerful spirit. All the world loves a brave man, but the courage that is seasoned with cheerfulness is the best courage. Great is the man who can walk up to the smoking cannon without flinching; greater is he who can face the cannon with a song and a cheer. Great is the man who can bear a misfortune without trying to shirk it; greater is he who can laugh at it and carry his cross as if it were a royal banner. 8 Shakespeare and Burns In a lecture before the Royal Insult in London Professor Arthur Keith, in an anthropological study, gave it as his opinion that Shakespeare was a descendant of the bronze age invaders, the true or round head people. This was a remarkable fact, the professor added, for it was this same short headed stock, spread abroad in central Europe, throughout Germany, France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, he said, on the contrary, was a good representative of the long headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and appeared to be closely set to the neck. It represented an ancient type The Housewife's Week. "Feeling Mondayish?" said a man at the club. "What's that?" There were explanations, which suggested that the Mondayish feeling was a survival from school days. The man with the Monday feeling admitted he had that slack feeling on the second day of the week, but that as the years had passed Monday had become to him just washing day. This is how he described the week: Monday, washing day; Tuesday, ironing day; Wednesday, matinee day; Thursday, early closing day; Friday, tidying up day; Saturday, shopping day, and Sunday the day of rest. The labels were not his own, but his wife's. London Standard. The Objest Encyclopedia.

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.

How We Fall Asleep. It is not generally known that the body falls asleep in sections. The muscles of the legs and arms lose their power long before those which support the head and these last sooner than the muscles which sustain the back. The sense of sight sleeps first, then the sense of taste, next the sense of smell, next that of hearing and lastly that of touch. These are the results of careful and lengthy investigation by a French scientist, M. Cabanis.—London Telegraph. 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. Foxy Fox. Mrs. Fox—Great news, John. Our son is engaged to Miss Golder. Fox—What! Then I shall object to the marriage. Mrs. Fox—Object! Are you out of your senses? Fox—Not at all, but if we don't kick a little the Golders will think we don't amount to much, and they'll probably call it off.—Boston Transcript. Awful, Tommy—Why do ducks dive?
