Moseley, preached to a crowded house Sunday morning from the subject, "The Open Fountain." As the pastor poured forth in eloquent words truths from this text the vast audience sat spellbound. Never before has Dr. Moseley appeared to better advantage and never before had the congregation thought of the text as he illustrated it to them. The articles include an account of the Pan-African Cercgrista, recently held in Paris, by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois; a remarkable study of "Some Contemporary Poets of the Negro Race," by William Stanley Brainwalt; "Calling Dreams," a poem by Georgia Douglas Johnson; and "Children at Easter," a poem by C. Emily Frasier. PICTURES As a result of Dr. Du Bois' activities in calling the Pan-African Congress, the CRISIS office is besieged with requests for pictures of him which may be used in school rooms, libraries and homes. To meet these requests, the April CRISIS will contain a full page picture of Dr. Du Bois. Other pictures will show how New York Welcomed the #Old Fifteenth," recently returned from "over there."

PETER H. Palm Sunday services were held with particular observance last Sunday at St. James. At eleven o'clock the vested choir with palms over their shoulders and white crosses in their hands marched slowly down the tale, chanting "The Palms." Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." Mark 11-9 was the text chosen by the pastor. Theme: "The voice of Palm Sunday." The lesson was drawn from that memorable scene over nineteen hundred years ago, when Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. A few days later the scene changed, said the pastor. More than fifty years ago the Hosannas of an oppressed race from whom the shackles had fallen were heard. Their joy was short-lived and today they are suffering all the pangs of race prejudice and discrimination. The evening lesson was taken from St. Luke 19-41. Theme: "Some Phases of Christ's Love." EASTER DAY. There will be a special observance of Easter in Sunday school and church. The choir will render special music and the pastor will deliver a special sermon.

Jeanette is featuring Mule Braatford's song "Harlem Blues" and Helen does well with a "Jelly Roll" melody. Their closing duet Write a Letter Home to Mother." an pachure. The art goes over biz.

In many of the scenes Trixie and Louise are actually Miss Brady herself. One scene is particular shows two front views of Trixie and Louise at the same moment.

April 19. This play is a vivid drama of the Orient and the great star will be seen in the role of Hassouna, a girl of the desert. The story is that of an Arabian girl, fiery and beautiful, who lives with her tribe in a city of tents on the edge of the desert. Duty takes a young French naval officer to their encampment and, here he, is made prisoner. Hassouna falls in love with him and releases him—later aiding in his escape. When the loss of the prisoner is discovered she confesses her help in his escape and for this act is condemned to death, the Arabs abandoning her to the desert to perish from thirst and starvation. The beautiful girl is rescued but faces a fate worse than death—she is sold to a traveling circus as a dancing girl, and dances herself in the hands of a brutal master. The story is vital and absorbing—following the life of this passionate and unattained girl of the desert. Later she becomes a member of the family of the man whose life she saved and becomes involved in the intrigue which is in his family. All the passions of human nature are displayed in this picture in use of Oriental and Occidental ballet, historical, devilish, all have their MOVIE THEATRE COMET THEATRE Harry Carry in His Latest Hits Wednesday CRITI THIS THE GREAT NAZIMOVA In A tremendous So Power and Beauty T Story Of Intrigue, Lo Arabian Nights.

N.—To illustrate his faith in the sinceres and trustworthiness of the American people, their democracy, disinclination to accept anything like Boisherism, Charles M. Schwab, capitalist and industrial chief, has told a story of an experience coming over recently from Europe. There was a large number of Negroes on the ship that brought Mr. Schwab over, and there was a canteen. He noted that one big soldier failed to buy anything. Telling the story Mr. Schwab said: "I went up to him and said, 'What's the idea? Are you broke?' Sir, he said. I haven't seen a pay day in five months." "Well, I said, 'I'm going to loud you a dollar. It's yours and you needn't trouble about getting it back to me. That gave me an idea. I decided to test those men just for the fun of the experiment. I made it known that I was willing to help cut any of them who were broke and overhundred and fifty-four of them responded. To each, I said some thing like this: 'Now you needn't say this back if you don't want to. You know me, and know where I am. Sulk yourself. Do you know what? Up to date one hundred and thirty eight of those boys have sent me the money they borrowed. It came out as I expected. The boys were sent to the core. That's one of the main reasons I'm not worrying about the United States going Bolahevist next election."

DAN BOBBINSON preorder PENDLETON THEATRE Pendleton and Finney Ages Africans Always Eager to Don Discarded Finery Cast Off by Notables of London There is a clothes dealer in London who for a long time has made it his specialty to purchase showy costumes and discarded uniforms for disposal in the Orient and Africa. It is said that even the retiring lord mayors of London have become this dealer's customers, and that the cocked hat, good need coat and knee breeches that have formed an inspiring feature of the lord mayor's precessions are, as like as not, the next year to delight the eyes of darkest Africa upon the proud person of some native. Amusing comments have been made by this dealer with reference to the gagerness with which the native in the interior of Africa takes over this discarded finery. He says that at the bazaars where his goods are purchased he has seen blacks solemnly walking around with waistcoats buttoned behind instead of before, and men even wearing women's costumes. Big fellows have been seen in clothes so small that one could get imagine how they got into them nor how they could get out unless the stitched gave way. It is related that the Prince de Johville, when off his ship an official visit from two chiefs, father and son, who must have been customers of the London dealer. Each owned for ceremonial purposes a military uniform. That of the father was an English general's, while that of the son was a hussar's. The intricate cut of the son's uniform, with its numerous buttons, straps and buckles together with the painfully small size, proved too much for him. He sent the prince a despairing message imploring help and a relief party of delighted midshipmen was sent to dress him and to bring him aboard. Special Benefits Allowed English Workmen Who Are Injured in Line of Duty Every job has its compensations. A clerk is secure in the knowledge that he is unlikely to come to any harm in the performance of his duties, though he has no legitimate claim if he contracts writers' cramp or a nervous breakdown. But the toilers in nurses and chimneys may rest assured that compensation will be theirs, if, in the course of their duties, they fall victims to disease, according to London TitBits. A chimney sweep may contract serological epithelioma (chimney sweep's cancer); if a user's job involves a risk of contracting glandular diseases, glass workers are daily exposed to the glare of molten glass and entrapment is not an unusual result. Sufferers in these classes are entitled to special benefits under the factory and workshop net. Lead, its preparations and compounds, mercury, phosphorus, arsenide, subject its handlers to poisoning, and the latter are, consequently, provided for. Mining is another dangerous trade for which special provisions are made, and even the telegraphist may claim for suffering from telegrapher's cramps. SCRAPS OF HUMOR SCRAPS OF HUMOR Parental Privilege. "Do you suppose this proud father really knows what his baby is trying to say?" "No, but he wouldn't be a proud father if he didn't try to transmute gurgles into wise and witty observations." In Favor. "You seem to stand pretty well with this waitress." "Oh I'm making sense progress," said the restaurant patron. "Yes?" "She, almost things enough of me not to bring me on a piece of yes." "You seem to stand pretty well with this wipitress" "Oh I'm making some progress" "said the restaurant patron" "Yes?" "She, already thinks enough of me not to bring me piece of yesterday's pie." Two, at Least: Caton—There's one thing: 'I like about Canada— Eaton (interrupting)—I know it that Canadian bacon!' Eat her cheese is great, too. Both Sorry "Sorry I have to ask you for that fiver I lent you, old chap." "Well, I can sympathetic with you. I'm sorry you have to, too." Right There. "Words are in inadequate to express my love for you." A "However, I have $100,000." "Enough said," declared the girl. "You may be shy on words, Algernon, but you are all right on figures." Could Turn Loose. "I can see that giving the freedom of the city to a feller does him any good." "Didn't in the old days, Might amount to something in the case of a man with a speedy automobile." JESSIE J. JOHNSON MASTER OF CEREMONY Express and Implied Powers of Congress as Interpreted by the U. S. Supreme Court The express powers of congress are those which are expressly granted by the Constitution of the United States and the implied powers are whatever is necessary, under the Constitution, to give force and effect to its express powers. In determining what acts are necessary and proper in the exercise of expressly enumerated powers an interpretation has been applied by the supreme court of the State. Chief Justice Marshall, in an early decision, said: "Let the act be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all matters which are appropriate, which are plausibly adopted to that end, which are not produced but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution are constitutional." Thus the supreme court held that under the taxing and borrowing power congress may charter a federal bank and exempt its notes from state taxation; or create a system of national banks and levy a prohibitive tax upon the issues of state banks; or issue paper money and make it a legal tender for all debts. Similarly, the power given congress to regulate commerce has been held to uphorize legislation concerning navigation, plottage the transportation of goods and passengers between the states of the union, the restricting or prohibiting of foreign immigration, etc. Thus almost every constitutional grant of expressive power to congress has been held to carry with it an implied grant of necessary powers to give effect to the express grant. Monster Vessel Had to Be Turned on Its Side to Pass Through the Welland Canal That ships were cut in two in order to get them out of the Great Lakes and into transatlantic service when the war put its tremendous demand on American shipping is commonly known; but the expedient adopted to get the giant Charles R. Van Hise through the Wetland canal attracted little attention. This vessel was of too wide a beam to pass through the Wetland canal. It was floated through by turning it on its side. The Charles R. Van Hise is a 0,000-ton freighter, twice as large as any of the other vessels taken from the Great Lakes. The lacks of the Wetland canal are 200 feet long and 44 feet wide. Besides cutting the Van Hise in two, it was necessary to turn her on her side, and then she had only eight inches of clearance. This plan for handling large ships on the lakes was devised by F.A. Foster and carried out by the shipping board engineers. Six ponton tanks were placed on the forward section of the Van Hise. The tanks, when filled, held about 500 tons of water. The pumps were put to work, filling the tanks, steam being furnished by the tugs. It required about the hours to fill the tanks, when the how section of the vessel had rolled over perfectly on its side. The forward section was towed from Buffalo to Port Collierne Canada, the entrance to the Wetland canal. She was then towed into the first lock and the gates were closed, which revealed the project was a success. Telephone Girls Must Have the Foundation of Singing Voice, Music Teacher Says Has the telephone girl the greatest singing voice? Judging from inquiries among well-known singing masters, the opinion seems to be that the telephone, in regard to voice production and development, is of great value. "One has only to compare the singing of years ago," one of these teachers said, "with that of the present day to realize this. There may have been much music in the singing of the post, but there was certainly little clearness. People did not realize the value of each word and the care that should be taken to enunciate each syllable." Nowadays, when the telephone is one of the priests of our daily life the necessity to speak clearly and distinctly is obvious. "The telephone girl, who is at her instrument all day, most certainly possesses the foundation of a good singing voice," said one master, "and probably there are many Metbus and Calves among them." Cleaning Bottles. Small brass shavings found at any machine shop where brass is used. After using with soaps pour water and all into small cloth bag, sugar, salt or tobacco bag, hang up, let dry; they never rust, are always ready, won't scratch, as brass is softer than glass, yet sharp and pointed enough to clean all corners. SHORT AND SNAPPY Some wives are so insecure to mending that they won't even try to patch up ourself. The man who lives for himself alone is apt to be neglected by the world at large. Yes, Elizabeth, it rains on the rich and poor alike if they are unable to swipe an umbrella. Love may be blind, but the girl's father and the dog seldom require the services of an oculist.

Crush the fruit well and mix with equal parts of sugar; stir until the sugar is well dissolved before canning. Care should be taken that the jars are sterilized, and that they are perfectly sealed; then keep in a cold place. A few preserved cherries to use as a garnish for various dishes are quite an addition to the fruit closet. When canning cherries, if a kernel or two of the pits are added to each jar, the flavor of almond, which is most delicate, is given to the fruit. The Royal Ann, which is a sweet, juicy cherry, makes a most delicious salad. Sprinkle the cherries, after pitting them, with a little lemon juice and sugar. Served in a fruit bowl, garnished with cherry leaves, one has a most refreshing breakfast dish. A pretty garnish for cherry jelly or other desserts is the fresh cherry left in bunches with the stems on, dipped in powdered sugar. Arrange around the jelly or molded dessert. Cherry Fritters Make a batter of a cupful and a half of flour, barley, or corn flour, mixed with equal parts of wheat flour; slit with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a half teaspoonful of salt and one half cupful of milk, one beaten egg. At the last add a cupful of pitted cherries that have been covered with sugar and allowed to stand for an hour. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat, and fry to a golden brown. Serve with a sauce made from the cherry juice and sugar. Cherry Conserve. Chop one pound of raisins, two pounds of cherries, three oranges, (juice and rind), and cook with four pounds of sugar for 20 minutes. Seal in small jars. This is delicious. Cherry Salad. Remove the pits from large, dark cherries like the "Bing," and fill the cavities with blanched filberts. Arrange a few on head lettuce and serve with French dressing. NOTICE OF PARTNERSHIP.

C., March 27—"Who does, this world belong to?" is the question the Japanese nation desires to have answered in a concrete manner by the Peace Conference now in session in Paris. The question is giving deep concern to the various nations assembled, and particularly the United States. Not only is this country interested from the immigration viewpoint, but, also, from the viewpoint of the relationship of the American Negroes to the body politic. It is an open secret that the American Negroes are very much determined to get more favorable consideration from the government than has been accorded in the past. This is especially true of the South, but is applicable to every section of the country where open discrimination is practiced. While loyal to the government in every respect, there is no group of people who can better sympathize with the discriminations because of Race, that is being practiced upon the Japanese, and the citizens of that country are bold to say, that if the allies were sincere in the principles for which they fought, there should be no color line anywhere in the world, but every nation and each individual in every nation, should be marked only by merit. CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEM IST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using. Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp, and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinina-soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quininasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quininasoap, asking for them by their full names. Price is $5c each. If your druggist advises you not to order the articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct.

MARY JOHNSON'S HAIR Was Short and Kinky Now its Long and Fluffy She Used PART I OF SEVENTEENTH CENTury During Seventeenth Century Among many other and useful beautiful things for which we are indebted to the Chinese, wall paper is not the least, notes a writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. This decorative paper for walls seems to have first appeared in Europe toward the end of the seventeenth century. It was brought to France by overseas traders, and the French immediately perceived the possibilities thus offered. The paper did not come in rolls, as we have it today, but in sheets about three and one-half feet wide by ten feet in length. Some of the finest grades were printed by hand and the cleaver grades from wooden blocks. The pattern represented animals, temples, warriors and all the other familiar figures of Chinese art. The French called these new wall coverings "pagoda paper," and it soon became the fashion to have at least one or two rooms in every home of any pretensions finished with "pagoda paper." Throughout the eighteenth century the custom gradually spread. Both in France and England there were adaptations of the Chinese idea. There is a record of wall paper in England as far back as the time of Henry VIII, when the inventory of a monastery included "chamber hangings of painted papers." There are now in existence examples of English wall paper from the reign of Charles II. Some of the early attempts in the manufacture of wall paper are highly interesting. Tapestries were the elegant wall coverings through the renaissance, as they have been during the middle ages. But tapestries were expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary persons. So a good citizen of Rouen named Le Francois hit upon the idea of imitating tapestries. He had fanciful drawings made in the tapestry style on large pieces of paper pasted together in about the size of a tapestry. Upon these drawings Le Francois spread a kind of mollage and then sprinkled the mollage with powdered wool in different colors. "Papier volute," as it was called, then came into general usage. Our Men Now Battling Hun Will Be Welcomed Home-by Veterans of Previous Wars It is certain that some of the American soldiers now battle the Hun will be still living in the year 2000. What world changes they will have witnessed, observes Philadelphia Telegraph. James Parton, the historian, says that in 1888 he talked with two Englishmen who had fought against General Jackson at New Orleans 78 years before. There are still living about 500 veterans, according to the pension records, who were in the Mexican war, which ended 70 years ago. Eleven survivors of Bunker Hill heard Daniel Webster speak 75 years after that historic battle. Since 230,000 Union soldiers of our Civil war were only sixteen years of age or younger, it is not surprising that scores of thousands of Grant's "Boys in Blue" still enjoy vigorous health 53 years after Appomattox. The last soldier of Waterloo lived more than 90 years after the fight. AIRY SQUIBS Profitable One.

P.-Upward of 75 Cokerd Jeanne club agents, county superintendents of education, and high educators of Louisiana and Mississippi, met here to work out plans for furthering the educational opportunities of the Ne- THE ST. LOUIS ARTS (Copyright 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) It was Saturday afternoon, and Martha Graham was on her way home after a very busy morning in the office of a large leather concern. As she neared the new tunnel she pouted, "I don't like this new way of going home." But she later changed her mind. After depositing her fare in the slot she started down the stairs. Half way down she spied an envelope which was being trampled on by the crowd. An she stooped to pick it up, the on-rushing crowd would have thrown her down if a young sailor had not caught her in the nick of time. She half stammered, "Thank you." Tipping his hat he soon disappeared into the waiting train. A second later Martha remembered where she was, and hurried into the train just before the door closed. As usual the train was crowded. Martha was about to reach for a strap, when she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Turning, she saw the same young man who had previously befriended her. He offered her his seat, which was gladly accepted. After a short ride she reached her destination, a little furnished room which she called "home." It was not until now that she opened the envelope which had caused so much confusion. She extracted a ticket which would admit one to the baseball game that afternoon. Now Martha had never attended a ball game, so she then and there decided to go, as everyone talked a great deal about this beloved pastime. She hurriedly ate a meager meal, which was satisfying to her, as the thoughts of attending one of the world series games gave her but little appetite. As she thought of the happenings of that morning she decided that it would have been uneventful without the helpful sailor. Indeed, she thought of him more than once. After a great deal of wasted time she left the house and proceeded to the park where the game was to be played. As she handed the ticket to the man she blushed guiltily at the thought of cheating one from a good game. She passed through a great deal of rigmarole, and finally was seated in the front row of the bleachers. Five minutes or more elapsed, and Martha, nervously glancing around, saw her friend the sailor, who in reality was John Lynn, coming to a vacant seat beside her. He very quickly recognized her, and by the time the game started they were chatting merrily. The game proceeded, and Martha found herself cheering as lustily as any of the other fans. She decided which side she wanted to win and put all her strength in yelling for them. Finally the game ended, the score in favor of Martha's choice. John received Martha's permission to escort her home. By the time they reached there they were like old friends. As the weeks passed the sailor and the once lonesome girl's friendship ripened into love. But Fate destined to change this state of bliss. It came shortly. John came to see Martha, and he had sad news for her. His ship was to sail for service in foreign waters for the duration of the war. Martha bravely bore the news until he left the house. Then she cried until her eyes were red and swollen. The next two weeks were occupied by shopping and getting ready for the departure. The night before he went John put a solitaire on Martha's finger, and as "Dan Cupid" sounded the call to arms, ever-ready John and Martha responded. Women in Britain Cut Logs A quarter of a million women in England are now working more or less regularly on the land, says the London Observer. The great majority are village women who go out from their cottages and work for the farmers. Seven thousand are in the new land army, which employs women who are recruited for a certain term and sends them wherever they are required. The women in the land army enlist either for 12 or six months. In case of 12 months they receive two complete outfits free, consisting of a dress, corduroy breeches, strong boots, leggings, overalls and hat. They also get for the year one jersey and one mack-Intosh. They are given four or six weeks' free instruction at a training center. Their pay on the farm rangers from $2 to $5 a week. For a girl who joins the army for six months there is no training. She goes straight away to the land and begins on the work requiring less skill. Services of women enrolled in the land army are available for timber cutting and hay baling.

Remember, any state that writes on its statute books undemocratic and un-American laws, or by sentiment denies any of its citizens the benefit of the natural development of its resources, will always be a backwoods state.

A Competitive Drill Between Uniform Rank, K. of P. and Arab Patrol --- JEFFREY 16 Chicago Scoffs At Closing Of Saloons CHICAGO, III. April 18.—By A. N. P—Chicago with her 6,000 seats, good, bad and indifferent, big and little, million dollar and "joint" with July 1st less than three months away; is grumbling and growling, in many places, hurling and singing, peasins in others, but all looking forward to the last day in June. What is so rare as a day in June?" asked by the poet, will be answered by the thirsty-throated on June 30th. 1919. That will be the first day in their dear young lives, fat, regardless of legal claim or threat, good buck or magic turn, it is difficult to find many people who do not believe absolutely that the curtain will go down on the various forms of joy water, midnight, June 30th. One of the sad features connected with the event is the fact that it will be exactly on the stroke of twelve, when all the fun will stop. For after twelve midnight, June 30, it will be July first. There are more saloons to the square inch in Chicago than in any other American city. It is common to see in some localities, saloons, occupying all four corners of the street. What will become of this property is difficult to say. There are perhaps about 200 saloons run by Negroes, or run for them by whites, employing all Negro help. Some of these places on the Southside, are indeed luxurious in appointment, and the capital invested in them will be greatly depreciated, even though it is the intention of some of the proprietors to make them "Sahara Deserts." Chicago people, reformers and social workers are busying themselves in finding a way to provide substitutes for the saloon. It is stated that the moving picture shows will receive a great boost and it is the intention to form a large number of community clubs, some in the places of the saloon, and have all of the good things connected with the saloon, except the quaff with a kick in it. Saloon patrons, argue that after all, the old centers of activity have been more than drink troughs, they have literally been the "poor man's club." Day checks have been cashed for the workingmen after banking hours, and many other, favors provided and extended that even the good church people have failed to think about. The idea of a nation-wide strike is offered at, because 'it is believed that the government will take such an emphatic stand in the matter that it will be shown without a doubt that I amele Sam is the biggest duck in the pond, after all. MEHARRY COLLEGE OFFERED $300,000 NEW YORK, April 17.—By A. N.

P. —Justice seems a little scarier, and the door of opportunity seems a little wider opened since Boston welcomed the returned Negro soldiers from France. There have been welcoming parades hold in every section of the United States since the return of the thousands of Negro soldiers, where they covered themselves with hide and glory. Washington, D. C., the nation's capital, is the only exclamation that there has never been a welcome parade with the setting of the one in Boston. Five hundred Colored heroes, many of them wearing wound stripes, and decorated for gallantry, took Boston by storm, and created a world of sentiment favorable to equal justice and hopeful opportunity. In the reviewing stand, opposite the State House, were the Governor of Massachusetts, and other public officials, leading citizens of both Races, and army officers. Between the reviewing stand and the State House stands Col Robert Gould Shaw and the never dying heroes of the Civil War 54th Massachusetts' regiment, that lifted Liberty to the pinnacle of Ft. Wagner. There, indeed was a back ground, fitted to stir the soul, imagine the emotions of the onlookers, and the thoughts of the marching sole as they marched at attention over this historic ground. The crowds went wild with enthusiasm. The climax had not been reached, however, for Boston is rich in historic love. Once again must these heroes march steadily on hallowed ground, as the band played the melodious strains of "Union Forever." Once again must the present be linked with the past, and thoughts of justice turned to future possibilities, that was when the dusky heroes from France over the hallowed ground where feel Crispus Attucks, American Negro, the first to shed his blood for Liberty in the American Revolution. At this spot beautiful girls of both Races, strewed the ground with flowers, and the soldiers marched on and on amid the deafening cheers. 884,476,000 Bushels of Corn on the Farms Compared With 1,253,290,000 Bushels One Year Ago Farm holdings on March 1, announced by the department of agriculture, shows: Corn, 884,476,000 bushels; wheat, 120,258,000; oats, 588,421,000; barley, 81,809,000.

Chinese Use Hens to Help in Hatching Fish Spawn The Chinese have a novel way of propagating fish. The spawn is carefully collected from the surface of the water, and when a sufficient quantity has been obtained they take a number of hens' eggs, the contents of which have been carefully emptied through a small aperture, and refill the shells with spawns. The holes are sealed up and the eggs spot under the broody hens. The hens are allowed to incubate the eggs for a certain number of days, when the eggs are again broken and their contents put into water that has been-previously warmed by the sun. In a very short time the spawn hatches, and the young fry are then kept in pure fresh water until a sufficient size to be put into the ponds. At one time a considerable business was done in this style of spawn hatching. The masquerade ball is one of those things that has come down with the ages. All authorities don't agree, but some assert that the mask party was popular with the oldest inhabitants of ancient Egypt. That the Greeks used it in many of their ceremonials is known. The mask ball was one of the crowning features of the festival which marked the celebration the feast of Bacchus. A Bottomless Pools Mysteries of Chimney Rock Section of Mountains of North Carolina Nowhere else on our continent are more pronounced evidences found of nature's tremendous cataclysmys than in the mountain sections of western North Carolina. Granite bowlers split in twain as by a giant's hammer, mighty fissures torn in, the sides of lofty peaks, beds of streams upheaved in colossal mounds of jagged rock, or with great cavernous holes rent in them—these are seen on every side. them—these are seen on every side. One of the so-called mysteries is the "bottomless pools" in the far-famed Chimney Rock section. The gorge through which pours the flood of Rocky Broad river is a great fissure torn through the very heart of the mountains. From the moment the waters enter the head of the gorge the river becomes a tempestuous torrent, plunging along a bowler strewn bed, sending rocks grinding against rocks, leaping downward in a series of cascades to disappear at length with a wild plunge info the bottomless pools. No one knows how deep they are. Every effort to sound them has been without success. At the foot of a cataract the first of these pools presents a boiling surface, from which leaps upward a blinding spray, drenching the limbs of trees that hang high above it. The second pool is like a smmering pot, while over the rim of the third, or last of the pools, the overflow trickles with a musical gurgle, spreading out into a shallow crystal stream that ambles away gently to the valley beyond the cascades. Couldn't, Great Fairy, give to me, The instant's with, that she dear sight Of all the earth's that one dear sight Known only in a dream's delight, I would, beneath some island steep, In some remote and sunbright deep, See high in heaven above me now A palm tree wave its rhythmic bough! And yet this old pine its haughty crown, Shaking its clouds of silver down, Whispers me snatches of strange tunes And murmurs of those awful ruffles Of secret symphonies, the hour When far in the dark north the snow Among great bergs begins to blow. Nay, thou sweet South of heats and balms Keep the sound and plumy palms, Keep ell thy fronds, Thy purple skins, thy purple seas! These boughs of blessings shall not fall, These voices singing in the gale, The vigor of these mighty lines: I will content me with my pines, Heart of the earth! The problems involved in winter feeding are usually distinctly different from those of summer feeding. Pasture (or green feed), usually the basis of summer feeding, is not available. Broadly speaking, there are two factors involved in this problem, first to satisfy the needs of the cow and, second, to suit the pocketbook. The cow must have an ample supply of feed of a palatable nature, and this feed must be supplied at a price which will permit a profit on the feeding operation. Virginia Schools Want Colored Principals RICHMOND, Va., April 17.—By A. N. P.—It may not be generally known that there are white principals in many of the Negro schools of Richmond.
