Hon BOTHWEL for Governor of Missouri In 1904 THE VOLUMN IX Mr. Editor: Since the Kansas City Journal, Sedalia Capital and other leading republican papers are using the name of our friend, Hon, John H. Bothwell, in connection with the nomination for governor in 1904, I can see no impropriety in myself or any other Negro voicing our preference and hopes through the Negro press of the state. Mr. Editor, I think I look upon Judge Bothwell as every other Negro in the state who knows him looks upon him. I have known him for 20 years. His boyhood days ended and manhood began in this city. Like the world's best men, he began poor, and has worked his way up to wealth and influence by persistent honorable exertion. Such a life should be an inspiration and model for every young man in the state, be he white or black, Mr. Bothwell is and all his life has been a friend to the colored people in the best and broadest sense, not only as a liberal contributor to our churches and schools, but a friend whose advice and counsel the race could follow without the least danger. The writer has heard him in all his political contests in this county and state, and speak but the truth, M. B. One of our Representives and cor respondence. when I say that I have never heard him say one harsh word of his political opponent. It made no difference how hot the battle was he had no words of bitterness or vituperation for those of opposite political faith. These characteristics I take to be conclusive evidence of good citizenship in the broadest sense, and for these traits the boundry line of his friends and constituents should and do embrace all lovers of good government. That Judge Bothwell is a friend to our race goes without saying or comment upon my part. He who is for absolute fairness without regard to color is the Negro's best friend. He who condones my mistakes because I am a Negro might encourage my ignorance or insult my manhood, but he who meets me as a man, respect me as a man and demands respect and veracity of me as a man, is worthy of my highest consideration. Such is Judge Bothwell's motto with white and black, rich and poor, in fact he regards no color or condition as a shiboleth to true manhood, and SEDALIA MISSOURI, MAY 2 1903 if nominated and elected governor of Mlssouri he will carry that policy into the gubernatorial office of this grand old state. NEW YORK, April 17, 1903. Wm. H, Baldwin, Jr., Trustee: My Dear Friend; I have instructed Mr. Franks, my cashier, to deliver to you as trustee of Tuskegee Institute 60,000 five per cent United States Steel Company first mortgage bonds toward the endowment fund. I give this without reservation, that I require that suitable provision be made from the gift for the wants of Booker Washington and his family during his own his wife's life. I wish that great and good man to be entirely free from pecuniary cares, that he be free to devote himself to his great mission to establish and in his own day to greatly advance. Glad am I to be able to assist this good work which you and others so zealously labor. In 1899 the State Superintendent o Public Schools distributed [40,000 copies of the revised school law. No revision and but few changes have been made affecting the general operation of the schools. There is a demand now for copies of the law and 50,000 copies of a revision fo 1603 will be ready for distribution in May. The last general assembly did not pass any bill affecting the schools generally that will take effect before June 20. Below are given the changes made; City, town and village school boards must select depositories for their money as county depositories are selected. When county supervision is adopted the county commissioner-elect becomes superintendent. When a city, town or village district is divided by county lines the part in either county cannot withdraw as may be done in rural districts. Money derived from sale of bonds may be used to purchase sites as well as to erect buildings. Any school dfstrict having 200 school children by enumeration may organize with six direct6rs, provide a high school and as many district or ward schools as are necessary to accommodate all children. Authority is given to the State superintendent to classify high schools and prescribe minimum requirements and compete higher educational institutions to credit pupils with work done in such school in any approved subject. Its object is to provide complete articulation of the entire public school system. Teacher's certificates shall be reissued without examinations and without fee—third grade once, second grade twice and first grade unlimited number of times so long as the holder continues to teach or to attend approved summer schools. When an applicant for certificate fail to complete or pass on all subjects at a regular examination he may have a second trial without additional fee. This does not apply to special examinations and limits the trial to a second and prohibits a third, The law requiring a summer institute is repealed and a three days meeting substituted. The fees that have been used to pay expenses of the institute must be set aside to pay the expenses of the fall meeting. Full explanation of the operation of all have been given in the laws which will be ready for distribution about May 1. This will give everyone an opportunity to be informed before they take effect, Let every annual meeting provide tor library. The law says that not less than 5 cents per child shall be spent fer library. This is important and must not C. S. W. CARNEGIE'S GIFT. NEW SCHOOL LAWS be neglected. An excellent test of a teacher is how wisely he can use a few library und supplementary books. Yours Respectfully, W, T. Carrington. Young People With a Circus One for the Causes for the Popularity of the Se ls & Downs Circus Is Its Young Blood, A striking feature of the Sells & Downs Circus is the number of young people with the show. This is particularly true of the women performers, who are all young and fresh looking. From the executive staff to the stars of the dressing tents the people of the Sells & Downs show are the most businesses like and best behaved circus people that were ever in this city. In other vocations many times people people displace other folks because they work far less salaries. This is not the oase with Sells & Downs show. Of the 150 performers billed by Sells & Downs a majority of them are young, but they are paid higher salaries than any other circus of the past or present ever paid. This is an age of specialism with ring performers. The time was when a man or woman was paid according to the number of acts they could do. The more and daring the acts the higher the salary and in some instances two or three could give a whole show. Not so now. When Sells & Downs contract with with their performers it is not a question of quantity but of quality. They insist upon having the cream of the profession. If the performer can do only one act, but do it better than any one else in the whole wide world, then he is sure of a place with the Great Sells & Downs show. As the older members of the profession depended depended upon the number and quality of their acts it is easy to see why younger persons who specialize are given the preference. The general air of vigor, snap and ginger about the smooth running performance of the Sells & Downs show is in a measure due to the young blood which Sells & Downs has infused into the circus business. The Great Sells & Downs Show will positively exhibit for one day only in Sedalia, Mo., Monday, May 11. WORLDS FAIR NOTES. The distance from Union station to the Werld's Fair site is nearly 4 miles. The clang of the hammer and buzz of the saw are familiar sounds on the fair site. Steam shovels of the latest and most effective pattern are engaged in leveling the hill north of the Fair site. Fifteen United States senators and 68 congressmen have accepted invitations to the dedication ceremonies. President Roosvelt and ex-President Cleveland will be entertained during their stay in the city at the home of President Francis on Maryland avenue.

Ladies, drop a sympathetic tear. The man who originated the tissue paper dress pattern is dead. The bartenders have formed a total abstinence society. They know the character of the stuff they sell.

A second hurricane in a period of four years is more than the Samoan islands ought to be called upon to endure. The mushroom crop is now ready to be picked. But be careful that the toadstool of commerce doesn't butt into the mess. Dakota divorces and New Jersey charters seem to be catching it all around. They are companions in judicial misery. The activity of the volcanoes in Mexico and the West Indies indicates that some kind of an underground war is going on. As to Mrs. Russell Sage's remarks on eschewing social life, Uncle Russell may be depended upon for a resounding amen. J.

Crop failures and the exigencies of war have forced the ameer of Afghanistan to make a heavy cut in his domestic expenses. He has divorced all but four of his wives. By the way, did it ever occur to you what a fine thing it would be if, instead of having so many reformers, we could boast of a few less people who need to be reformed? Senator Clarke and Congressman Brundige of Arkansas got into a street brawl recently, thus emphatically refuting the general opinion that the senate and the house never "get together." The Holland strike appears to have collapsed, and the anti-strike bills have become law in that country. So far as we can judge at this distance, there is nothing in these two facts to cause reloicing. --- GRAVITY OF EASTERN CRISIS NOW GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD The Birmingham (Eng.) Post says it learns from a reliable source that the Creusot-Synder firm, well known German armament manufacturers, has received orders for arms during the past four months from the Bulgarian government. The first condition was that the weapons should be delivered expeditiously. Moreover, the orders A. were accompanied by financial assurances, which is rather unusual in the case of contracts with Macedonia and other eastern countries, but which was a sufficient stimulus to induce the acceptance of the conditions. The correspondent of the London Daily Mail, who has arrived at Vienna, on his return from Servia, telegraphs that while in Belgrade he was received in audience by King Alexander. He quotes the king as saying: "The Macedonian question is not nearly as serious as the Albanian question. The latter is the real danger to the peace of the Balkans, and the murder of M. Stcherbina, the Russian consul at Mitrovitza, has made the situation more critical. When Ibrahim, the Albanian soldier who shot Stcherbina, is executed for his crime, the vendetta will fall on the sultan and the Christians who forced him to execute the murderer. The present seeming quiet is only a temporary lull, as the Albanians are merely waiting to see what steps will be taken against them. Further trouble is certain to come." Albanians in Deadly Earnest. "A man's life in Albania is worth one penny—just the price of a cartridge," an educated Albanian once concisely said. He referred, however, to times when the Albanians were simply amusing themselves, and his saying must not be given too much weight to-day. Just as present the Albanians are serious. They have declared a truce to their blood feuds, abandoning the ordinary pastime of Albanian life, and they are turning their frank and open countenances expectantly toward Constantinople. The other day the ambassadors of Russia and Austria did Abdul Hamid the honor of a joint visit to urge upon him the necessity of suppressing the Albanian disorders. Unfortunately for the sultan his envoy to his Albanian subjects were even then being held as hostages at Ipek. What answer he made to the ambassadors under the circumstances nobody has had the temerity to make public. Abdul Hamid is moving large detachments of his Kurd troops into the Balkan provinces. The Kurds did the sultan's work of expert butchery in Armenia. They can, however, expect no meek necks stretched to the knife in Albania. If the worst comes to the, worst the world is as apt to be pitying the "poor Kurds" as the "poor Albanians." Conditions are Unbearable.

Violence has provoked violence, until the Macedonians regard revenge as the only means of redress for Turkish crimes, and if Macedonia is not in continual revolution, it is only be cause the winter season is too severe for active hostilities. "The horrors of Turkish warfare are too well known to need depicting and there is abundance evidence that the Macedonians are suffering the worst forms of savage cruelty known to the Asiatic horde which the sultan has poured into that hapless European dominion. The descriptions of A TURRISH SENTINEL AT A FRONTIER WATCH HOUSE A BORDER POST IN A MOUNTAIN PASS Gone to Frontier to Check Invasion and Scenes in the Disturbed Area of these cruelties recall the barbarities inflicted upon their captives by North American Indians. Worse than death is the treatment of the Bulgarian wives and daughters by the brutal Turkish soldiery. The Bulgarians, on their part, do not spare the Turks when the latter fall into their hands, and massacre by one side or the other is the usual termination of a conflict." Situation Summed Up. A writer who has long studied the Eastern question thus sums up the situation: "There are certain well-defined indications that the sick man of Europe is about to throw another fit. The heather is afire, as they used to say in Scotland, out in the Balkan peninsular, and Roumania and Bulgaria and the other provinces whose names sound like new varieties of old cheese, are about to revolt. Austria on the one side of the invalid, Russia on the other, are mobilizing their troops and preparing to descend upon the cataclasm. Meanwhile the patient sits tight, refuses to take any new-fangled medicines in the way of reforms, and sets his attendants to sharpening up the scimater. When the surgeons actually arrive we shall see what we shall see, of course, but judging from past experiences there promises to be many dead, and something doing at the wake. If the unspeakable Turk really elects to fight the unpronounceable Russian it will be far more than a shattering of syllables. The Turl may be toottering as they say, but I past experiences are any criterion he will no sooner be actually attacker than he will show an astonishing liviness. Europe has been about to eat up the sultan and his domain for good many years, but it hasn't hapened yet. Turkev is an ungobble gobbler, still." --- In the trial of the Tultic Ranch company versus Hunsacker, while Isaac Hunsacker was on the stand, Attorney Rogers was asking him as to the identity of numerous persons by the name of Hunsacker, to all of which he replied: "Brother." Finally Rogers asked him how many children his father had, and he replied: "Fifty-one or two; maybe fifty-three head."—Salt Lake Tribune. Will Paint Warships Gray.

Sometimes if one of the junior members has to be punished for cheek we tell him tall spiritualistic yarns and advise him to go to Weston for their verification. This has much the same effect as sending a boy to a saddler to buy strap oil. Not so many years back Weston was an enthusiastic spiritualist himself, attending seances and even writing letters to the local press on the subject. But he was cured somewhat rudely and in a manner likely to make a lasting impression on any man. You see it was this way: About five years ago, when Weston was at the hight of his spiritualistic zeal, a widow with a very pretty daughter, reputed to be worth a small fortune of $1,500 a year, took a house on the outskirts of the town. Weston fell head over ears in love with Daisy, though, greatly to his claagrin, she seemed to prefer the attentions of a young chap in the office of a firm of solicitors who held the office of clerk to the magistrates. Weston was continually at Miss Daisy about spiritualism and tried to get her mother to bring her to some of his precious seances. But she refused to have anything to do with them, and i believe it was this silly fad of his which put her off Weston. Any sane, sensible man, seeing how the ground lay, would have dropped spiritualism and gone in for a little reality—Daisy was worth dropping something for, I can tell you—but where spirits were concerned Weston was just mad, and it only made him more determined to prove to her that his theories about second sight and so on were correct. I remember that winter well. It froze for three weeks on end. Weston used to take Daisy out skating on some flooded meadows near the station, and things seemed to be coming to a head. He wore his heart quite openly on his sleeve and was ready to lick her shoes for love, but the other chap, who just at this time came out of his articles and got a partnership in the firm, was making the running pretty hot. There had been a lot of men thrown out of work by the cold weather and some ugly stories were afloat about burglars, footpads and the like. Mrs. Hardy's little house, away out by itself, seemed a sure mark for gentlemen of this sort, and Weston was never tired of warning her to keep the windows bolted, and even induced her to have a special new lock put on the front door. After the frost we had snow, a fortnight of it, and the whole town A man running He dashed out just as he was. got pretty well snowed up. Weston did not seem himself about this time. I remember we remarked upon it at the club. Perhaps his second sight told him some crisis was at hand. Any way, it came. It was one Wednesday night. There was a concert in the town han which some of us The Departure of Youth. There are gains for all our losses. There are balms for all our pain. But when youth, the dream, departs, It takes something from our hearts, And it never comes again. We are stronger and are better, Under manhood's sterner reign; Still, we feel that something sweet Followed youth with flying feet, And will never come again. Something beautiful is vanished, And we sigh for it in vain; We behold it everywhere, On the earth and in the air, But it never comes again! —Richard Henry Stodda second Sight went to, but the place was so full of draughts that we were glad to get by the fire in the club smoking-room at hair-time. Maybe we had sat there for ten minutes when we heard someone come running down the road like a madman. We all jumped up and went to the window just in time to see Weston, without an overcoat, and with no hat on, tearing along like a motor car and making far more noise. We guessed something was up, and three of us put on our coats and followed. It was easy to see his footprints in the newly-fallen snow; there were still a few stray flakes in the M. He was on his back in the snow. He was on his back in the snow. air. They made straight for the Hardys, and we turned the last corner just in time to see Weston extricating himself from a large snow heap, so we waited in the shadow of the wall. But, perhaps, I had better tell the rest of the story as Weston recounted it to us afterward. It appears that he was sitting at home cursing the weather, the cold, and the concert, whither Mrs. Hardy and Daisy was conducted by the rival, when as he dozed in his chair he had a vision. Quite distinctly, he assured us, he saw a lonely little house surrounded with snow and with a glimmer of light shining through the front window, while a man, Jimmy in hand, and carrying over his back a bag of tools, was trying to force the front door. In a flash he recognized Mrs. Hardy's house—he seemed to hear the metallic grating of the Jimmy as it wrenched at the lock and splintered the woodwork—and seeing the hand of Providence offering him a way straight to Daisy's heart, he dashed out just as he was and never stopped till he tripped into the snow heap. As soon as he had extricated himself and recovered his breath a little he stealthily approached the house, bending low, as he softly pushed open the garden gate. There was the dim light glimmering out through the blinds of the front room and, yes, there, crouching by the door, Jimmy in hand, was the figure of a man. Spurred on by love, Weston was no coward, and, uncoated, unarmed as he was, he flung himself upon the burglar, grappling with him fiercely as he loudly called for help. Weston is a small man and before you could say "Jack Robinson" he was on his back in the snow with a pair of hands have strangled the life out of him had not the door been suddenly opened from within to disclose the trembling figure of Daisy clinging fearfully to the rival, while from the top of the stairs Mrs. Hardy in bedroom attire made night hideous with her yells. WEST. Weston's antagonist was the local locksmith, called in hurriedly to repair the patent lock, which had stuck fast and prevented the door being properly shut. A bad headache had kept Mrs. Hardy from the concert, where she would not allow her daughter to go unchaperoned, and she had I will draw a veil over the rest. Weston's antagonist was the local locksmith, called in hurriedly to repair the patent lock, which had stuck fast and prevented the door being properly shut. A bad headache had kept Mrs. Hardy from the concert, where she would not allow her daughter to go unchaperoned, and she had gone to bed early, leaving the young people to their own devices. What with the fright and the cold, Mrs. Hardy was ill in bed for a fortnight, and only got out in time to be present when Weston was convicted of assault and battery before the local magistrate, for whom the rival was acting as clerk that day. Daisy was married in the spring, but I think what hit Weston hardest was that when we helped him home on that eventful night it was to find his back door in splinters and every room in the place ransacked. Weston never mentions spiritualism now.—Gordon Meggy in Chicago Record-Herald. A LAWYER'S GOOD ADVICE. One of the old practitioners at the Osceola (Mo.) bar tells this story of the good counsel which a lawyer in that town once gave a client: Shortly after the firm of Nesbit & Ferguson hung out their shingle an old farmer called upon them in regard to a land suit. Some of the parties at issue were not residents of the state and it was necessary to notify them by publication. Ferguson took down a blank and began to fire questions at the farmer at a great rate, which the honest old fellow proceeded to answer after weighing carefully each word. The blank having been finished and put in a pigeon-hole, the client asked what it was. "That is the advertisement commanding the non-residents to appear and defend the suit." "And how much will that cost?" "My friend," said Ferguson, calmly, looking the old man in the eye, "if you are going to figure on the cost you had better stay out of lawsuits."—Kansas City (Mo.) Journal. HOPE OF GETTING IT AGAIN. Alice Roosevelt, as a Child, Had Strong Religious Convictions. Miss Martha Havemeyer, the daughter of William F. Havemeyer, at one of her recent literary "at homes" talked of children. "I heard the other day," she said, "a story about Miss Alice Roosevelt's childhood. The little girl was walking with her nurse on a spring morning through one of the city parks. Trotting up and down near her was an urchin with a balloon—one of those big and buoyant red balloons that children hold and look up at fondly. The child was so unfortunate as to let his balloon escape in a strong gust of wind. It soared up and into the blue sky. It disappeared from view. Its owner howled and screamed in his despair. "Alice ran up to him. She patted him on the back. She said in a comforting tone: "'Never mind about your balloon, little boy. It has gone up to heaven, and when you die you will get it again.'" Five Generations of One Family. Mrs. Susan D. Crossman, mother of Elisha Crossman of Chicago, and a pioneer of Rock county, Wis., celebrated her 100th birthday at her home, five miles from Beloit, Wis., on Sunday, March 29. Five generations were represented by fifty persons in the family gathering assembled to celebrate the event. Mrs. Crossman was born in Cheshire, Mass.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank; Here we will sit and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven Is thick intaid, with patines of bright gold; There's not the smallest orb which thou behold st But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young eyed cherubims, Such harmony is in immortal souls; But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we can not hear Senator Gorman's Compliment. On one occasion while Senator Gorman was speechmaking in Maryland he met a lady who told him how disappointed she had been the week previous, when the crowd was so great that she could not get near enough to hear what he said. "The truth is," complained the fair admirer, "I drove fourteen miles to hear you speak, but I was so completely wedged in by negroes I could not move a step." "Madam," answered the senator with a gallant bow, "I am very sorry for your disappointment, but you must remember you are not the first jewel which has been set in jet."—New York Times. HomeDuties The real heroines of every day are in our homes. Frequently, however, it is a mistaken and useless heroism. Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability; and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to work and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will banish pain and restore happiness. Don't resort to strong stimulants or narcotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women is always within reach. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. If there is anything in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. For proof read the symptoms, suffering and cure recited in the following letters: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I wish to express to you the great benefit I have derived from your advice and the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I was in a very bad condition. I could not perform my household duties, my back ached, I was extremely nervous, and I could not eat or sleep, and the bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do me any good; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but I suffered more after it than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. "I noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I received your reply and carefully followed all instructions. I immediately began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and continued following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman. Your remedies and help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank you for what you have done for me."—MRS. LOTTIE V. NAYLOR, 1328 N. J. Ave., N.W., Washington, D. C. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I write to tell you what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. "I was suffering with falling of the womb and could hardly drag about, but after taking five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was completely cured. I am now a well woman and able to do all my work. "I think your medicine one of the best remedies in the world."—MRS. J. M. Lee, 141 Lyndal St., Newcastle, Pa. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done a great deal for me. I suffered so much from falling of the womb and all the troubles connected with it. I doctored for years with doctors' and other remedies but received only temporary relief. "I began taking your medicine, and had not taken it long before I was feeling better. My husband said that I should keep right on taking it as long as it gave me relief from my suffering, as I could not expect to be cured by one or two bottles. I did so and am now able to on my feet and work hard all day, and to go and bed and rest at night. Thanks to your Vegetable Compound I am certainly grateful for the relief it gave me. It is the mother's great friend. I would not be without it in my house, for when I feel tired or out of sorts I take a few doses and feel all right. "I would recommend your medicine to all tired mothers, and especially to those suffering as I was."—Mrs. R. F.

We have struggled in this city for the past nine years, and have heard the wind blow hard before. We have tried to do what we thought was right and just toward all, regardless of their church, clothes or their amount of education. We have stood and fought the battles of the Sedalia Negro when others were afraid to open their mouths on account of their job or situation. We have given free of charge space in our columns to any and all Negro churches, and in fact assisted our young men that they may shine in the world of today. Now it comes that we have become a drawback to the "progressive" Negro of Sedalia, as some one who had experience in school teaching wishes to start a poper here and are telling many untrue things to feather their nest as a journalist. We have no special fight to make on our new and young publishers, because their work is yet to be seen, and we realize that an editor or publisher of a Negro paper has more to do today to keep his paper alive than to tell tales on some other Negro who is to succeed in life, "because the battle of life is not to the swift but to the one that holds out." During our life as publisher we have seen the sun rise and set, and the democratic Negro Obligator glide away, and the International sink into oblivion and laid away until some future and unknown day, but the ill spoken of and criticized Sedalia Times, with its "ignoranr editor," as our competitors now say, still lives, and lives today. We trust that our new friends will find success, but as they start upon the road of Negro journalism we wish to inform them that the editors chair will not be always be covered with downy pillows, nor the managers desk with boquets, because just over the hill only a little ways the tide will change and way will be awful slippery. The Conservative can go its way, and may God bless them, but you must certainly quit lying on the Times in the future.

The kaiser of Germany is encouraging every effort toward the use of alcohol for lighting, fuel and power purposes, and under the stimulus of prizes offered to inventors and engine constructors it is being largely utilized in various ways. Alcohol is economically made from a number of products in Germany and consequently the supply is very large. At a recent exhibition demonstrating the use of alcohol were shown a number of motor forming implements and similar engines propelled by an alcohol flame. There were also lamps which displayed great efficiency. In a report recently made to Washington, Consul General Guenther writes from Frankfort that the chief of the fire department of Hanover has recently invented an alcohol firing apparatus, used in connection with an automobile fire engine, which is said to be very satisfactory in practice. The engine is driven to the scene of the fire by an alcohol motor, and while on the way the steam is gotten up by the new invention noted above so that the engine is ready for operation immediately on its arrival on the ground. Ordinarily it is necessary to keep the engine constantly fired in order that the steam supply may be immediately available. Otherwise much time is lost in getting up steam. BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. Diminutive Canines of Ancient Breed That Could Be Carried in a Glove. There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. Early Roman accounts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, including "the little beagle which may be carried in a man's glove." That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridiculed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the American Authorities. Cuban cities, like Havana and Santiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow fever and smallpox have been practically stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps instituted a general system of housecleaning. Every house in the city was cleaned from top to bottom under the supervision of American officers, whether the tenant was of high or low degree; remonstrances availed nothing. As many as 16,000 houses were treated in one month. The sewer sys- Study LAW AT Home instructions by mail. "Aspired to every one. Method approved by teaching edu- cators andcompetetors.

To the matron belongs the right of wearing the tiara, and young girls rarely indulge in anything more ambitious than simple little floral and ribbon wreaths. The stately tiaras are more beautiful this year than ever. Some of them are shaped like little coronets and fasten from side to side of the head with a long slender brooch pin. Many of the simple tiaras are of coral, which mingles exquisitely with cut silver. Others are of topaz, tourmaline, sapphires and one beauty is of pearls and emeralds. Some very lovely and comparatively inexpensive ones are made of cut jet. Theater Waist. Blouse of coral pink mousseline de soie, shirred and puffed at the top and trimmed with bands of black D. S.

The low neck is trimmed with a drapery of guipure and festoons of pearls attached to the bodice with emeralds. The drapery and pearls form the sleeves and shoulder straps. The girdle is of green panne. The next gown is of white silk gauze over rose taffeta. The skirt forms a plaited hip yoke cal designs, as also silk embroideries in Persian and Oriental coloring. Floral trimmings for gowns have several novel points. Very small roses and very big ones are employed, and chiffon flowers and satin flowers are intermixed with the ordinary artificial kinds, and garlands of flowers for bodice and skirt trimmings are most frequently mingled with satin ribbon and drooping ends. Grapes are figuring as dress trimmings, and so are hop and vine leaves. Quick Chocolate Pudding. Put a pint of milk on to scald. Wet a heaping tablespoon of flour, smooth, in a little milk, add a piece of butter, more or less as you like it, as to richness, and one egg, well beaten. Grate a square of chocolate and add to the mixture, stirring, to keep smooth and prevent burning. Boll, or cook, about five minutes, to cook the flour, then turn in a dish, that has been wet in cold water. Eat with milk or cream. Another quick dessert is made by soaking crackers in hot milk, till soft, then put in saucers, and cover with canned peaches and little sugar. Pour cream over the dessert, just before serving. Very nice and easy to prepare. Simple Rice Pudding. Wash well a scant cup of rice, place in pudding dish with pinch of salt and three tablespoons of sugar, cover with milk and stir until sugar is dissolved, then put in oven, which should be of moderate heat, and bake slowly for two hours. Do not stir mixture after putting in oven, out, as the milk absorbs, all more until a quart has been used. For a smaller pudding use half the quantity. Short Skirts. Short skirts are the mode of the future. The great dressmakers have sanctioned them, and that settles it. They are all very well for walking in town in the morning, but they are utterly unsuited to indoor wear. The worst part of the business is that if we declare anything to be the fashion we ride the mode to death, in season and out of season, more's the pity!

The fichu and sleeves are of the plaited gauze, the former finished at the left with pink roses, at the right with cravat ends. The girdle is of the material. The third gown is of white tulle over rose silk. The skirt is composed a perforated gold or silver case, and may be wora on one of the pretty jeweled chains which nowadays no self-respecting woman would be without, or depending from a chatelaine or bracelet. In the days of the plague pomanders were made of special herbs, which the doctors considered disinfectant, such as feverfew, rugwort and hayweed. These were steeped in stale ale. For typhus, cinnamon and oil of valerian were recommended to be worn against the skin. Attractive Street Gown.

HORTICULTURE Effect of Stock on Scion. For many years a fierce controversy has been going on as to the effect of stock on scion. It has generally been assumed that the thing grafted on another would retain all the characteristics it had when a seedlings. Facts now point strongly the other way, and evidence is accumulating in favor of the very decided influence of the stock on the product of the scion. Not long ago a congress of French horticulturists took up and discussed the matter. The work of 67 experimenters was reviewed. One man had grafted La France, a very double rose, on Panachee d'Orleans, a semi-double rose. As a result the roses grown on the grafted branch were semi-double, like those on the other branches of the stock. The same man grafted a large red tomato on an egg-plant having long violet fruits. The resulting tomatoes changed their shape entirely, and took on an elongated form like that of the egg-plant fruit. A round pear was grafted on a spindle-shaped pear, and the resulting fruit was spindle-shaped. Some of the experimenters claimed to have produced entirely new fruits by grafting. A Sylphide rose budded on Homere gave stems with fewer thorns than either parent, leaves intermediate in size and blooms intermediate in size and color. Like results were obtained with other varieties of roses. Belgian kidney beans were modified in flavor by growing on a French variety. The foxy taste of American grapes has been eliminated by grafting on vines not showing this characteristic. One savant claimed that new varieties could be produced by grafting and that these can be fixed in their characteristics and propagated true to kind. Two potatoes were grafted together and produced a variety known as Edouard Lefort. It reproduces itself true to kind. A tender sort of Kohirabi was grafted on a hardy form of cabbage and produced a forage cabbage. This proved very hardy, and was midway in form between the two. These characteristics were transmitted through the seed and became permanent threater from seed. In spite of these examples, however, the opinion of the congress seemed to be that hybridization of this class is not very common, though it does occur. As a general thing also the forms thus obtained are not often constant in character. It appears certain that the acceptance of the idea of the greater influence of stock on scions, enormously increases the problems connected with the propagation of our known varieties. For Exhibition Fruit Prof. F. W. Taylor, chief of the department of horticulture, at the coming world's fair at St. Louis, sends out the following advice regarding the growing and preparation of fruit for exhibition at that exposition: It is important that fruit growers everywhere begin at once to prepare to grow fruit for exhibit purposes. Sufficient plant food should be supplied to enable the trees to bear perfect specimens and this should be followed throughout the season with the most thorough cultivation. Thorough cultivation will hold the moisture in the soil which will be available for the use of the trees and plants in development of perfect specimens of fruits. The thinning of fruit should not be neglected. This is an important consideration where it is desired to grow perfect specimens. In doing this work it is advisable to leave only such specimens as promise to be large and perfect and also those that are not shaded by foliage. States that are planning to exhibit must have a sufficient quantity of fruit in cold storage, so that the space allotted to them will be entirely covered at the time of the opening of the exposition, and in order that they may have a sufficient quantity in reserve in storage to keep the space covered until the 1904 crop of fruit is available. A circular on cold storage of fruits will be sent out from the department of horticulture in good season giving the latest information obtainable concerning that subject. The Leaf Crumpler This insect infests apple, plum, cherry, peach and quince. It attacks the leaves and terminal buds, and when these fall, it eats away the tender bark and growing twigs. It reaches its growth from the middle to the east of May, when it is half an inch long and entirely green. In June it changes into a grayish moth. Eggaying begins at once and in about a week the little brown caterpillars begin to appear and to feed upon the younger leaves. They begin to make tubes for themselves out of trumped leaves and debris, and in the fall these are found hanging to the trees. A cheap and effective remedy is the spraying of the trees in the early spring just as the young leaves appear and before the blossoms open. Experiment has shown that a single spray of Paris green and lime (one pound of each to 150 gallons of water) applied at this season may destroy practically all leaf crumplers in time to prevent noticeable damage by them. In the fall and winter, the crumpled leaves should be picked from the bare trees. Points of an Aberdeen Angus The last report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture contains a diagram of an Aberdeen-Angus, with numbers indicating the technical names of the various parts.

The Nubian Goat. The Nubian goat is larger by half than the common species, and many who are unfamiliar with it take it at first glance for a horse, says George F. Thompson, in his book on "Angora Goat Raising." Below the top of the head the forehead rises so as to form a conical prominence, then sinks toward the nose until the nostrils are in an actual depression. The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper, and the teeth oftentimes extend above the nostrils. The ears are flat, long, large and pendant. Sometimes, however, an individual is found with ears short, straight and pointed. There is an entire absence of beard. The females have no horns. Those of the male are flat and short and lie upon the back of the head. Midway, the horns are curved from within to without. The udder is deeply indented, so as to form two very distinct lobes. The teats are situated, as in all species, upon the lower part of the udder, but in this breed upon the outside and below. The eyes are very large and lie flat in the head—do not protrude. The hair is usually quite long, deep brown or black, and quite fine. There is no odor connected with this breed. It is an exceedingly prolific animal, having been known to give birth to as many as 11 kids in one year. No member of the goat family is more gentle. This breed is very sensitive to the cold, apparently being unable to withstand even a slight degree. This necessitates a warm barn or goat house. They should never be sent to pasture when there is frost. We are informed that the slightest cold produces abortion. They are good milk producers, yielding from four to six quarts per day. Percolation of Soil Water. We have all along believed that percolation of water was most rapid through sandy soil. Until recently a test had not been made to determine this definitely. It is, therefore, with a good deal of interest and surprise that we read of the results of the percolation tests carried on in California, Sandy soil, loam and adobe soils were placed in tubes, and the water allowed to percolate through from one end of each tube to the other. The experimenters confidently expected to see the water in the tube containing sandy soil complete its journey through the soil much more quickly than either of the others. Imagine the surprise of the experimenters when the percolation through the sandy soil was slowest of all. It required 62 hours longer for the moisture to permeate this tube (40 inches) than it did the adobe. The only explanation is that capillarity acted less in the sandy soil because of the smaller amount of what might be called capillary surface. The finer the soil the greater the amount of space in it that can carry moisture and the greater the expanse of the water film that covers the minute particles. This points to the greater value of loam soil for agricultural purposes, especially where the land is to be irrigated and lateral percolation is desired. One of the great drawbacks in the use of sub-irrigation systems has been the slowness with which the water moved laterally. This test in California would seem to indicate that sub-irrigation would prove quite feasible on loam soils. Proper rotation and handling of soils will prevent their deterioration.

Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the cause of one- half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarth and catarrhal diseases afflict one- half of the people of the United States. F. H. Brand, M.

Peruna is able to cure catarrh wherever it may be located by its direct action upon the mucous membranes, Catarrh means inflamed mucous membranes. Peruna acts atonce to cleanse and invigorate the ca- tarchal condition of the mucous membrane no matter where it may occur in the body, Its action is the same on the mucous lining of the nose as on the mucous lining of the bowels. It cures the catarrhal inflamma- tion wherever it may occur. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I.

Wesay Peruna curescatarrh. The people say Peruna cures catarrh. Prominent men and women all over the United States from Maine to California do not hesitate to come out in public print to say that Peruna is: what it is recommended to be, an internal, systemic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever it may be located. Dr. M. C. Gee’s Experience. Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal., he says: « There is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to ad- vocate patent medicines. But when any one medicine cures hundreds of people, it demonstrates its own value and does not need the endorsement of the profession. “Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that 1am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have fiequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painiess menstruation, cures leucorrhoea and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system. 1 also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I know of. 1 heartily endorse your medicine.””—M. C. Gee, M. D. ‘Women are especially liable to pelvic ca- tarrh, female weakness as it is commonly called. Especially in the first few weeks of warm weather do the disagreeable symp- toms of female weakness make themselves apparent. In crisp, cold weather chronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do not feel so persistently the debilitating effects of the drain upon the system, but at the approach of summer with its lassitude and tired feel- ings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh feels the need of a strengthening tonic.

Address Dr. Hartman, President of The STeciniin Gaattenuc Colwates (ith From Infancy To Age MOTHER AND CHILD Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent catharsis that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. "My baby is 4 months old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through it if he were in a doctor. I had it set getting worse, I stopped giving him milk, I stopped giving him colic very much, and used to scream when he had a touch of it. I did not know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a clairm, and he her jersey pretty fair all night. I looked in his eyes and saw him LAXAKOLA, and I think it gave him nothing else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 907 First Street, South Boston, Mass. Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Ms. Mar, Dwu, Pugh, E. Palatine, O, Boy 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample, it has done so much good, sent me a 40c, bottle." March 28, "Bottle came sale, did me a lot of good, druggist here don't keep it, so enclosed it 50c, please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 18, "Enclosed is 50c, for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done much good." Laxakola for Old Folks.-In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid seclusion and aversion to society and friends, to the loss of self-confidence to way clear the complexion and restore it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, purify the blood and remove the Pale, Weak, Run-down, Overworked Mothers with Fretty Children, half sick, nervous, tired out with household and child, tired, liver torpid, with blotched, muddy, sallow complexions, blood thin and impure, need building up and a thorough renovation of the skin, such as a great nerve and stomach build as LAXAKOLA, the great tonic laxative.

LAXAROLA is a gentle and safe remedy to use during pregnancy, children and adults, and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic, and is invaluable in assisting to relieve obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness. LAXAKOLA acts as a tonic to the whole female system, strengthening the organs and purifying the blood. It will cure the most confirmed case of constipation. With your bowels and stomach full of blood and mucus, you can purify the bile and backaches, headaches, weak nerves, blotchy, muddy, allow complexions will vanish, and you will feel and look strong, healthy and vigorous.
