Delegates from all over the United States, from Canada, and also from Africa, were present. National Grand Master W. A. Gaines. Deputy Grand Master Mor- C.M. Wade, Cor. Secy. Dr. C. M. Wade, of Hot Springs, Ark., is the proprietor of the St. Pythias Sanitarium of that city. Dr. Wade is well known as an eminent surgeon and physician, and is a specialist on all general and rheumatic diseases. The St. Pythias Sanitarium, on corner of Church and Cottage streets, has the best experienced nurses in attendance. gan T. White, of Texas, and Past National Grand Master Willis N. Brent was in attendance. A reception was given at St. Paul's chapel to the visiting delegates. The welcoming address was delivered by Judge Seldon Spencer. The response was delivered by C. H.

The committee on the State of Knighthood report that branch of the order in a flourishing condition. There are camps in many states of the Union, and grand camps in several. Four camps are now in the city ready to take part in the grand parade and drill. The election of officers for the next three years of the National Grand Camp are as follows: N. K.

NATIONAL GRAND TEMPLE OFFI CERS. Mrs. Martha Webster, W. G. P., of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Katie Moore, of Missouri, W. V. G. P. Mrs. M. E. Whitlow, secretary. Mrs. Edmonia Watkins, assistant secretary. Mrs. Moore, of Texas, treasurer. Mrs. B. Williams, of Louisville, Ky., chaplain. Mrs. Julia C. Robinson, of Leavenworth, Kas., is a delegate to the National Grand Temple. She is stopping with her friend, Mrs. E. Kimble, of 2739 Laclede ave. Dr. Wade performs all kinds of surgical operations at the most reasonable prices. Dr. Wade is connected with the United Brothers of Friendship, and stands very high in other orders. Anyone requiring medical attention who visits Hot Sprins, will find the best of accommodations at the St. Pythias Sanitarium, under the supervision of Dr. Wade. Mrs. Sylvian Robinson, of Kansas City, Kas., was a delegate to the Grand Temple. The National Grand Lodge of Missouri was represented by S. T. Pettigrew, R. L. Brice and L. H. Harrison. Mr. S. Mitchell, of Lexington, Ky., was a delegate to the Native Grand lodge. He is an old acquaintance of the Palladium man's. It would be well for the National Grand Lodge to call upon Missouri to learn how to conduct a great body of men. The Order of U. B. F. has more editors and men publishing papers than any other order. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Morgan, of 3018 Cass avenue, left last Friday evening for Eureka Springs, where they will spend the summer. Mrs. Singleton, grandmother to Mrs. Morgan, left the following Monday to join her granddaughter and husband at Eureka. ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,JULY 25,1903. PALACE OF ELECTRICITY. Dimensions, 525 feet by an average of 600 feet. Approximate area, seven acres; cost, $309,540. We will give further description next week. 'SLIPPERY' DYER; or, THE BLACKMAILER We would ask these questions: Why was "The Dyer News" changed to "The Censor?" and, Where is one of the three men formerly connected with that paper? Is he not serving time in Jefferson City? Was it not Hon. Chauncey I. Filly who saved Dyer from accompanying him? Mark our words! Dyer must either stop his blackmailing scheme or he will find himself resting behind the bars. We have the names of several persons who have "coughed up" to this man, and if he doesn't change his ways we will weave a net around him, and then PASS HIM UP TO FOLK. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Y. M. C. A. Literary meets Tuesday evenings, 8:30 o'clock. The object of the Y. M. C. A. is the spiritual, intellectual, social and physical welfare of young men. Any young man in harmony with this object should let it be known by connecting himself with the association. An instructive and highly-appreciated Bible class is being conducted at Y. M. C. A. by Rev. T. T. Thompson. A class is held for a minute study of the Bible, from 4 to 5 p. m., and one for general study, from 5 to 6 p. m. "Onward and upward" is the watchword of the association. The boys have adopted three P's" as their key note—PRAISE the association up. PAY it up. Under the direction of Prof. J. A. Freeman, a series of literary programmes and socials were begun Tuesday evening, July 14, to continue throughout August. The Y. M. C. A. assembly rooms have been crowded each evening, and the programme instructive. The public invited. That Man Beirman. The Palladium has again struck a trail. That man Beirman sits in the City Hall as the Patronage Broker, and we think it is high time he was ousted from office-holding in the federal building. We hope the president will take notice of our endeavor to call his attention to this man. Of course we have 10,000 Negro voters in this city, and about 700 in the county, and yet "Doc" Bartholdt does not look with favor on one of them. Beirman hates the Negro like the devil hates holy water. We pity our old friend Norman Florsheim, but he must wait for something better. If our dear "Doktor" will recommend one of Aunt Hagar's children to some good position we might rest up for awhile. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST. LOUIS, U. S. A., 1904 MEMORIAL SERVICES MEMORIAL SERVICES Of National Grand Lodges and Temples at St. Paul's Mrs. Oliver Watson presided over the services. The choir sang several selections, followed by prayer. Mrs. C. E. Scull read a very interesting paper on the "Memories of Our Lost." Dr. C. M. Wade spoke on the death of that great and good man, Dr. Fitzporter, of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Laura Williams, of New Orleans, sang. It was indeed a song adapted to the occasion, and sung very sweetly. Every eye and thought was centered upon Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Whitlow, of Cincinnati, read a paper. This was another occasion when the congregation earnestly desired to express its appreciation. Mrs. Whitlow is evidently a dignified and cultured lady, and well adopted to pulpit speaking. In fact, the services throughout were grand and very effective. The presiding officer, Mrs. Watson, displayed her loving disposition toward all. As different persons spoke of loved ones lost, she was bowed down by the memory of her sainted mother, who died less than two years ago. U. B. F. & S. M. T. HONORS CLAY'S MEMORY. The election of officers of the national grand lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten was begun just before the close of the meeting Tuesday night, resulting in the re-election of W. A. Gaines, of Louisville, Ky., for national grand master. The convention then adjourned till seven o'clock Friday morning. A parade of the military divisions was given Friday. The grand lodge adopted the following resolution relative to the death of Cassius M. Clay: "WHEREAS, The great orator of human fate has seen fit to remove from this life Cassius M. Clay, one who, in the days when the Negro was recognized as only fit for chattel, although a southerner, liberated his slaves and hurled his lance into the arena of public debate, asking no quarter and fearing no foe, suffering ostracism, calumny and even personal dishonor in what he believed to be just and right, the Negro's freedom; therefore, be it. "RESOLVED, That we, as a fraternity and race who have reaped united benefits and result in his efforts, join with friends and relatives in mourning at his bier. COMING EVENTS.

No World's Fair has had an exhibit of journalism. The Missouri commission plans, however, to make an exhibit in the Missouri state building at St. Louis. As part of it, a bound volume of this newspaper for the 1903 will be included. The exhibit will be arranged by the Missouri commission, through its department of publication, of which F. J. Moss, of St. Joseph, is chairman, and Walter Williams, superintendent. This department will make a special exhibit. A New Restaurant. Mrs. N. Sydnor, of 2741 Wash street, has opened a new restaurant.

These two gentlemen are graduates from an art and drawing school—Mr. Sexton from Cleveland, O., in 1895; Mr. Mitchell from the art and drawing school in 1892 and S. A. Calman. These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawings has excited the most skeptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult pictures. You will then be convinced for their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jackson, of Indianapolis, are in the city, stopping with Mrs. W. B. Williams, of 2307 Pine street. Mrs. Jackson is worthy princess of Western Star Temple No. 11, S. M. T.

This danger is generally understood, yet there ber of lockjaw disseminators put in the hands of children every year. Carrie Jennings, an Oklahoma City girl, had a great celebration of her twentieth birthday on July 4. She is the daughter of a Scotch father and an English mother and was born on an English vessgl flying the American flag while crossing the Irish sea. Ex-Senator Mason, who attributes his late defeat for re-election to Gov. Yates, of Illinois, when in Burlington, Ja., a few days ago, was asked what his plans for the future were, and answered characteristically: “I am going back to Chicago to do a little law, a little politics and a man named Yates.” The secretary of state of Missouri declined to issue articles of incorpora- tion to the Gegenseiter Schwaben Frauen Unterstuntzungs Verein on the ground that the name was unpro- nounceable. He was too critical. All he had to do was to follow copy with- out pronouncing the name. Undertakers test bodies to see {f life is extinct by raising a blister with a match. If the blister is dry the body is dead; if it fills with water life is not yet extinct. If the cut made for the embalming syringe bleeds the body is alive. The only absolutely certain sign, however, {s beginning decompo- sition. When Gov. Jefferson Davis, of Ar- Kansas, before an audience of 1,000, charged the supreme court of that state with corruption he forgot to “ex~ cept present company” and there seemed to be nothing for Judge Car- rol D, Wood, a member of the supreme bench, who was seated on the plat- form, to do but seize the governor by the collar and aim a blow at his face. A violent fit of sneezing accom- plished for Samuel Veale, of Hazleton, Pa,, what a number of, physicians had failed to do—restored his hearing. For several years he suffered from an af- fliction of the head which finally closed the ear drums and practically made him deaf. He sneezed the other day and heard what sounded to him like a miniature explosion, after which he could hear. Down in a small New York town an ardent lover of 60 years prayed for Divine guidance when he found a younger man wooing the fickle maiden, During one of his praying spells he re~ called the promise that Providence helps those who help themselves. Forthwith he grasped a club and got busy. The younger man is in a hospital with ample time to meditate on the uncertainties of wooing. ‘The talk in France about an alliance with England as an outcome of Ed- ward VII.’s call on President Loubet and the latter's return of that visit may or may not materialize. Diplo- mats in general on each side of the Atlantic look on the episode as a weak- ening of the tie between France and Russia, which would be a matter of considerable consequence in European polities, This in itself would be a triumph for Edward VII., and would also add to the prestige of the French mama iiid:. “There air two things,” said Josh Billings, “for which a man is generally onprepared. ‘They are—twins.” Still Jess is a man prepared fer twins born in two different years. In the house ‘of one of the well-known inhabitants ‘of Chicago a child was born shortly before 11 o'clock on the last night of the old year, and soon after midnight a second came into the world. The result is that though the children are twins they will have birthdays on different days, for the one will have to be celebrated on December 31 and the other on January 1. ‘The special report of the Massachu- setts burean of statistics of labor on “Sex in Industry” exhibits some facts that are well worth pondering. The report shows that women no longer need to depend on the men for a liv- ing. If female independence is the highest ideal of the sex, then woman's emancipation is about complete. Ac- cording to this report more than 88 per cent. of the women workers of Massa~ chusetts are unmarried. They prefer freedom, work and income of their ‘own and care nothing for romance, Divorces, too, have increased. Russell Sage is quoted as saying that it is foolish to pretend that Rockefeller and Morgan are waging a financial war against each other. “Rockefeller and Morgan do not wage war in that sense,” be adds; “they do not make money out of each other.” In other words, the big financiers see no use grasping at one another's bank roll when more is to be gained by absorb- ing the never-vanishing pile belong- ing to that great lot of lambs waiting to be fleeced. If Wall street's occu- pants started to subsist on each other the meal wouldn't last long. _- Thousands Visit the Basilica of St. Peters, at Rome, to View the Remains of Leo. ROYAL TROOPS GUARD SACRED EDIFICE. ‘They Were Even Statloned Within the Basilica When the Crash Be- came Too Great For the Papal Guards to Handie—an Event of cc aiicw wiwatmedees: Peculiar Significance. Rome, July 23—From sunrise until sunset to-day thousands passed be- fore the body of Leo Xi. lying in state in the basilica of St. Peters. It was originally intended that this op- portunity publicly to view the remains should extend through three days, but to-night it is learned that the time is likely to be curtailed, and that the funeral may occur Friday instead of Saturday night owing to the evidences that decomposition is setting in. This ts due to to-day’s severe heat from which no embalming, however per- fect, could completely protect the body. ‘The prevailing impression of those who passed before the iron gates of the chapel of the Sacrament to view the remains was one of intense pity, combined with a certain sense of ‘horror. ‘The body was tilted up on the catafalque in order that all might see the terribly-shrunken face. An | ordinary skull in a frame of gold ly- ing in the midst of a mass of red robes could scarcely have been more typical of death. Pantie Threatened. | Except at sunyise, when the crush threatened a panig, all those who wished it had an opportunity of en- tering St. Peters. During the day many of those who passed, in stopped before the catafaique to say a hurried prayer. ‘An important political factor was Introduced into the ceremony by the entrance into St. Peters of Italian sol- diers, who remained there throughout the day to preserve order. Their pres- ence there in such a capacity, un- precedented in the history of modern Italy, is important as an indication of betier relations between the govern- ment and the vatican, as it was by the consent, if not by the desire of the vatican authorities that they em- ployed the troops of the quirinal in papal territory. Another feature which is causing comment along: the same lines is the fact that Cardinal Orelegia in receiy= ing a group of the city fathers of Rome, who represent the clerical party, charged them to thank also’ their liberal colleagues for the manifestations of sympathy which they showed during the fliness of the pope. ‘The card nal, continuing his conversation, in- dicated special satisfaction over sim- jlar manifestations coming from sev- eral constituted bodies of the king- dom of Italy, such as communal coun- cils and provineial deputations, _in- cluding that of Rome, which is pre- sided over by Prince Falice Borghese “Tt is an expected tribute,” ex claimed the cardinal, “which no one would have imagined 25 years ago:” After the will of Leo XII, had been opened, it was the intention of the cardinals to maintain the strictest se- crecy concerning its contents, but: it is learned that it comprises 36 sheets in the handwriting of the late pope, except some additions evidently made in his later years when the pope found considerable difficulty in writ- ing, owing to the trembling of his hand, which was so pronounced be- fore his death that he was obliged to hold his right hand with his left when he made his signature. The earlier portions of the testament in- clude the recommendation which the testator addressed to his executors, Cardinals Rampolla, Mocenni and Cre- toni, on the best way to continue the religious impulse given to the church as well as the policy followed by the holly see during later years. Left AM to the Chureh. ‘The document then enumerates all the property which Leo possessed, and provides that it shall all go to his successor for the benefit’ of the chureh, including even the presents which might perhaps be considered personal rather than gifts to the pon- tiff, as such. ‘The money which the pope left is in a closed safe in_his bedroom, the keys having been given to different persons mentioned in the willl, "To the members of his family the pope left a present for each, to be chosen from the valuable objects in his apartment, and similar gifts were bequeathed to his doctors. All the lagd purchased and buildings erected for institutions personally founded by Leo are put in the name of the holy see to avoid possible claims from rel- atives, as the pope probably remem- bered that some time after the death of Pins IX., the latter's nephews in- stituted a suit against the chureb elaiming 15,000 franes as their portior of his estate. Response to Secretary Hay: Washington, July 24.—The state de- Washington, July 24.—The state de- partment has received the following response to Seeretary Hay’s message of condolence on the occasion of the pope’s death: “Rome, July 23.—I have not failed to convey to the saered college the sympathy expressed by you in the president's name on the sad occasion of his holiness’ death. “The sacred college desires me te express to the president its deep and sincere gratitude for such a noble manifestation. __ FORESTERS AT WORLD’S FAIR. ‘Thousands of the Finely Drilied Members of the Modern Woodmen ‘Will Attend the Fair, St. Louis, July 24—Gen. and Mrs. John H. Mitchell, of Ionia, Mich., vis- ited the World’s fair grounds, Wednesday, and conferred with Col. E. C. Culp, secretary of the commit- tee on ceremonies, in regard to the proposed encampment and “drills of the Foresters, the semi-military or- ganization allied to the Modern Woodmen of America. Gen. Miteh- ell is commander of the organization, and says that some of the companies are as well drilled as any army in the United States. Of the 50,000 uni- formed.men, fully 5,000 are expected to take part in the drills at the World's fair. ‘The order of Modern Woodmen of America has 750,000 members, and Gen. Mitchell thinks that at least 150,000 of them will at- tend the fair during the week clos- ing with September 5, “Modern- Woodmen-of-America Day.” The Royal Neighbors of America, the auxiliary of the Modern Wood- men, numbers 140,000 ladies in its membership, and it is expeeted that fully 20,000 of them will visit St. Louis during the first week of Sep- tember. Mrs. Mitchell is a member ‘of the organization’s auditing board. PRICE OF COAL TO INCREASE. Likely to Jump Two Dollars a Ton Hecauxe They Have to Pay Mi- ners Seven Cents More. Kansas City, Mo., July 24—Because of an inerease of about seven cents a ton in the wages paid coal miners of the southwest the operators have, it is stated, decided to increase the cost of fuel to consumers from fifty cents to one dollar a ton. ‘The in- crease will apply to all kinds of coal used by householders and small manu- facturing plants, and it is probable that before winter sets in there will be a further inerease in the prices. A big operator says that a six-dol- lar rate for coal which sold last year for four dollars was not improbable. “Operators must protect them- selves,” he said. “The new scale formulated at the conference of mi- ners and onerators at Pittsburg, Kas., will increase the cost of production of ‘run of the mine’ coal 25 cents a ton. In that amount is included the Inerease in the wages of the miners, which will average seven cents a ton in the mines in this part of the coun- try, and the inerease in the wages of the other employes engaged in han- dling the coal after the miners have performed their part of the task.” RELIANCE BEAT COLUMBIA. The New Cup Defender Outfooted the O1d Champion In a Sepeiat Cup Race, Newport, R. I, July 24.—In a race for a special eup, Thursday, the Re- liance gave the Columbia the worst beating she has ever sustained in a contest sailed in a good whole-sail breeze, Sailing over a course 35 miles in length, nearly twenty miles of whieh were dead to windward, the new cup yacht finished 18 minutes 49 seconds ahead of the old champion. ‘The Constitution went up to Bristof last evening to haye a new topmast put on, and did not arrive here Thurs- day until too late to go out to the starting line. For a few minutes the older boat held her own, but as soon as the Re- liance got her wind clear she shot through the lee of her rival, and, crossing her bow on the next tact, worked steadily out to weather of her and at the same time outfooted her rival. To give the Columbia such a drubbing in weather that the sharps said was just suited to bringing out the old boat's speed, is looked upon by the yachtsmen here as nothing short of a wonderful performance. LORD BARRINGTON DIVORCED. Duped by Barrington with Repre- sentations that He wax an En- glish Lord—Did Not Context. Kansas City, Mo. July 24—Mrs. Wil helmina Grace Barrington was Thursday, granted a divorce from “Lord” Frederick Seymour Barring: ton, who is now under indictment at St. Louis, charged with murder in the distriet court at Kansas City, Kas. ‘The decree restores to Mis. Barring- ton her maiden name, Cochrane. She married Barrington in St. Louis, be- lieving his representations that he was an English lord. Barrington did ot contest the divorce suit. Corn Not Materially Daxiaged. Topeka, Kas., July 24—It was an- nounced, Thursday night, that in spite of the hot winds in central Kan- sas, corn was not damaged to any great extent. In some places the cereal is fired, but not enough to in- terfere materially with the yield. Cooler weather ‘Thursday and” rain Wednesday night, it is believed, en- abled the corn to overcome from the effects of the heat. a ee ge a a Richmond, Va., July 24.—The eruis- er Galveston which was under con- ‘struction when the Trigg ship yards went into the hands of a receiver, was successfully launched Thursday.

Stedman, of the depart- ment of horticulture of Missouri, is on a tour through St. Charles, St. Louis and Franklin counties. Since the recent floods it has been noticed jn the river bottoms of these counties that a peculiar bug is injuring the corn. ‘These bugs, up to this year, have always worked on the bulrushes in the swamp district with deadly et- fect. This year, however, the bulrush crop is noi very luxurious, and the Insects have taken to the corn with the same deadly effect. Prof. Sted- man is going to collect a quantity of the bugs for experiment. He hopes to be able to inoculate them, just as the chinch bugs are inoeulated, and so relieve the farmers of the bottom lands of the plague. Toy Pixtolx Cauxe Lockjaw. Morris Vinklestein, 12 years old, died at the city hospital, St. Louis, of tetanus, making the eleventh vietim in St. Louis of that disease since July 4. As in other cases, Finklestein’s death was due to a wound caused by the premature explosion of a toy pis- tol. The accident oceurred July 4. The wound was dressed and seemed to be healing, but a week later symp- tons of tetanus developed, and he was removed to the hospital. Anti-tetanie serum was injected freely, but the disease had gained too much headway and the boy died in convulsions.

Loca: Storms Have Done Considerable ‘Dasnage in Some Sections Cora Ae vin daca emxtonls: Columbia, Mo., July 21—The Unit ed States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending July 20, 1903, says: ‘The temperature during the past week averaged very near the normal in the central and western portions of the state, but in the eastern sec tions there was a slight deficiency. Showers have fallen in nearly all counties, but have been of a very lo- cal character, and while some dis- tricts have received an ample supply of moisture, in others the rainfall was barely sufficient to lay the dust. Over a considerable number of the southern and eastern counties the rainfall for the week ranged from 1 to over 2 inches, but in many of the northern and western counties it was very light and more rain is greatly needed. Local wind and hail storms did some damage to corn and fruit, and also to hay and grain stacks, in a few of the eastern counties. Corn continues to make good prog: ress, as a rule, and, except in a few of the northern and southwestern countfes, much the greater part of the crop has been laid by in good con- dition, In some of the northern, cen- tral and western counties, and also in localities in the extreme southeastern counties, it is much in need of rain, but has not yet been injured, except in a few localities in the southwest section.

Soledad, Venezuela, Tuesday, July ¥1.—(By boat from Ciudad Bolivar) — Ciudad Bolivar was captured et 11 o'clock last night after 52 hours of a desperate struggle and horrible car- nage, during which great courage was shown on both sides. The juil and the capitol were the centers of the most severe fighting, and many men were killed or wounded there, When those places were captured, only a few blocks behind the capitel remained to be taken. At midnight the fusillade ceased, and the silence of death reigned all the rest of the night over the city. At five in the morning the corre spondent followed Gen. Rivas, the commander of the government troops, who met Gen. Gomez, the Venezuelan commander, in confer ence, near the capitol, and confirmed the announcement that the capitol, the jail and all the rest of the city were in the hands of the goveruseut soldiers. Gen. Gomez informed the correspondent that the resistance at the capitol had been of a nature worthy of a better cause; that cach yard of rampart was covered by the dead, aiid that Gen. Nicolas Rolando, the last representative of the revolu- tion, and his two lieutenants, Gen. Pablo and Guzman, had been taken prisoners. No adequate idea can be cabled of the scene whieh Ciudad Bolivar presents. The city appears to have been swept by a cyclone. ac- companied by a conflagration.

The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES A Tale of Wall Street and the Tropics By FREDERICK U. ADAMS Copyright, 1901, by Lothrop Publishing Company. All rights reserved. Mr. Morton slowly paced the saloon with his hands behind his back and his head bent forward, as in deep contemplation. In a short time Mr. Rockwell returned. He gave Mr. Morton a questioning look. In response Mr. Morton shook his head gloomily but said not a word. His companion showed no surprise nor did he evince much disappointment. Like Mr. Kent, he saw no hope for immediate relief, and had resigned himself to await results. He selected a book from the shelves and read quietly until dinner was announced. Dinner was served at six o'clock. The weight of entertaining fell on Hestor and Vincent. While the latter gentleman had not yet been able to attract the attention of Mr. Carmody he was satisfied that he would have an abundance of time in which to explain his plans. Mr. Morton had acquainted his associates with the failure which thus far had attended his negotiations. He yet held out hope, but it was faint. When coffee had been served, Hestor arose and said: "Gentlemen, we are now not far from Cape Cod. During the evening I am going to send a man ashore with letters. You will find stationery in your staterooms. I suppose that all of you wish to send word assuring your families and friends that you are alive and well. You can do so, but you must not enter into any particular about this outing. You can inform those in whom you are concerned that you are safe; that you will return to them after a reasonable length of time, or you may make any other statement not connected with business or with your present whereabouts. Hand me the letters unscaled, and I will examine them and have them mailed during the night. I should have all of them in my possession before nine o'clock." "How about me?" asked Mr. Vincent. "You are included," said Mr. Hestor. There was no hesitancy in accepting this invitation. The thought that they could speedily communicate with their loved ones lifted a great load from their minds. For an hour Hester acted as censor on these letters. He made but few changes, and these of course rendered it necessary to rewrite the rejected letters. In the meantime the yacht had rounded Cape Cod and dropped into the quiet waters of the bay. Shortly after nine o'clock the dinghy was swung out on her davits and lowered into the water. A young man in a business suit, such as worn for everyday service, by the average citizen, acted as mail carrier. Propelled by the sturdy arms of a sailor, the little craft disappeared in the darkness. Two miles away the lights of Provincetown flickered in the distance. At about one o'clock in the morning, when most of the passengers were asleep, the dinghy made another trip ashore, and returned without the mail messenger. He was landed near Boston, and on the following morning made a rapid journey to Springfield, Mass., and Albany, N. Y., thence to New York city and Brooklyn, reaching Philadelphia late that night. In these cities he posted the letters which, as has been told were received with so much joy. The next day he left Philadelphia for Cape May; late that night a boat came in from the ocean, and an hour later he was on board the "Shark." From the time the sand dunes of Cape Cod faded away in the night until six days had passed, the passengers and crew of the "Shark" caught no sight of land. Many ships were sighted, but Capt. Waters so directed the course of the yacht that none came within signalling distance and generally remained hull down on the horizon. It was cloudy most of the time, and by the temperature alone was it surely known that a southerly course was being taken. Thursday night was uncomfortably warm, and the following day when the sun came out from behind the clouds the shade from the awnings was found grateful. On Friday the signs that the tropics had been entered were unmistakable. When Mr. Pence awoke about three o'clock Tuesday morning he was much alarmed. He was certain that something serious had happened. An unearthly silence prevailed. The engines had stopped, and save for the faint buzz of the electrical machinery there was no sound on the "Shark." The boat had lost all motion. It no longer rose and fell to the heaving of the seas. Mr. Pence hurriedly dressed and went on deck. A seaman was pacing back and forth on the after-deck. Mr. Pence looked out over the port side of the yacht. A huge wall of rock towered almost over his head. In the light of the nascent moon, the "Shark" seemed to rest in the center of a vast amphitheater of beetling rocks and crags. Here and there he could make out the form of a palm, and to his ears came the distinct sound of falling water, as of a cascade. To the east the cliffs threw a long shadow over the lake in which the yacht was anchored. The moon had just scaled the highest peak, and the effect was of indescribable beauty. But the silence was oppressive. The heavy breathing of Mr. Vincent, as it penetrated from the deck below, was a relief, and after one reassuring glance at the placid scene Mr. Pence went below and soon was sleeping the sleep of the just. CHAPTER XIV MAROONED. "There's one! See him, captain? Right beyond those weeds, on the bank of that little island, almost under the big rock! Don't you see him?" Hestor danced around the forecastle in the most excited manner. Capt. Waters looked in the direction in which he was pointing. "Don't you see him? Take my glass and you can see him as plainly as the nose on your face! He's "DON'T YOU SEE HIM?" under that rock with the cocoa tree over it." Hestor handed the powerful marine glasses to Capt. Waters, who took a long look in the direction indicated by the excited owner of the "Shark." "You're right," he said, "I see him. He's a big 'un,' observed the captain as he handed back the glasses. "If you want to watch some fun, come up forward, gentlemen!" he almost uped. "Hurry up; the bombardment is about to begin! Come along, Mr. Morton, I will show you some sport for your lives!" Hestor's excitement was contagious. "Look over on the bank, there," said Hestor. "Do you see something that looks like a log?" "I do," said Mr. Kent. Mr. Morton also made it out, as did most of the party. "It's a 'gator; an alligator, and a whopper!" said Hestor. "I won't do a thing to him!" Hestor sprang to a polished piece of machinery, and dropped behind a slanting steel guard, a marine stood by the side of this bit of mechanism, which was recognized at a glance as a rapid-fire Hotchkiss gun. Mr. Pence gave it one look and retreated behind the deckhouse. Mr. Morton and the others looked on with keen interest. "Bing-r-bing-r-r-zing-zip-r-r-bing-bing-rip-r-r-bing-r-r-zip-zip-ring-bing!!" The first shot struck the water to the right about 100 feet from the loglike object. Hestor swung the gun with a quick movement to the left, and a marine raised the muzzle with the turn of an adjusting device. For a second the water at the edge of the bank was churned into foam. The next instant the "log" was alive. A long tail waved in the air; the great jaws opened and belowed in a hoarse roar of rage and agony. It rushed for the bank, but as the head sank in the water the squat legs relaxed and the hulk lay motionless. Hestor jumped back from the gun. He took one look through the gaseous vapor from the weapon; threw his cap in the air and danced for joy. "What do you think of that?" he shouted. "The books say you have to shoot 'em in the eye in order to fetch 'em. I know a trick worth two of that! Say, but he's a 'beaut!' What do you think of 'Hester Island,' Mr. Carmody? This is only a starter. You can have more fun here in a week than you can have in New York in a year. Come out from back there, Mr. Pence! the cruel war is over. Lower the launch, Capt. Waters. There is plenty of water over there, and we'll go and take a look at him." During this incident, and in all the happenings of this eventful day, Hester conducted himself as the arrival and landing on this spot was an ordinary event which had been pleasantly anticipated by all on the "Shark." The past was forgotten by Hestor, who acted as the eager host of a party of gentlemen who should be delighted with their entertainment. Except for a brief period of moroseness—evinced in actions and not in words—such had been Hestor's attitude towards his captives since the "Shark" rounded Cape Cod. On the morning which opened with the death of the crocodile-Sidney Hammond discovered the saurian was a crocodile, and not an alligator—Hestor was in jubilant spirits. During the day he seemed surprised at certain hints dropped by his unwilling guests. His expression was that of the willing host who finds his best efforts not fully appreciated, and therefore redoubles his attempts to please. He was glad that the voyage had so happily ended; glad that all had been favored with good health, and earnest in his predictions that his guests would enjoy themselves. "It may seem like egotism to call this 'Hestoria,'" he said, as they were seated at the breakfast table, "but I practically discovered the place, and in common with many other explorers gave it my name. If you gentlemen do not like the name you can call it 'Haven's Haven,' or 'Rockwell's Reef,' or Vincent's Land,' or anything you choose. Its various topographical features are as yet not fully explored, and are unnamed. I am going to suggest that we honor Mr. Morton by giving his name to this beautiful body of water we are now on. We will call it 'Morton's Bay.'" "Thank you," said Mr. Morton. "I appreciate and accept the honor." "I have some surprises in store for you," said Hestor, when the meal was finished. "We will go ashore directly, and look on something more attractive than dead alligators or crocodiles—as Sidney insists, on calling them. Ah, Capt. Waters, has the tide turned] sufficiently to make a landing?" "There is now 14 foot of water at the landing," was Capt. Waters' answer. "We will have the gang plank on shore in ten minutes." The panorama unrolled before the gaze of the voyagers on board the "Shark," as she slowly headed for a shelving rock was one of surpassing beauty. Imagine a pear-shaped lake about a mile at its greatest width and a mile and a half in length, walled in by rocks and crags whose rugged slopes were softened by the splendid foliage of the trophies. Nature, in some fantastic mood, had created this spot, and then as if appalled at her work, had wreathed it with flowers, and chastened its outlines with the harmony of fern, vine and palm. The narrow inlet leading to the ocean was guarded by two great rocks, which seemed to overhang and threaten the intrepid sailor who dared explore and ravish the beauties which nestled within. These rocks were fully 400 feet in height, and unlike those surrounding the lake, were free from tree or durure. Through the portal thus formed, the ocean with its deep and glorious blue, showed in contrast to the dark background of these crags. The surge of the sea came welling through this gate, but soon lost its power, and on the further shores of the lake its ripples came as but the flutter of the deep breathing of the sea. The shores were lined with boulders which had tumbled down from crag and peak. At intervals there were grassy stretches of meadow, deep enough to form a foreground to the darker beauties of cliff or ravine. Here and there a brook trickled from the heights, or found its tortuous way through unknown dells. And everywhere a lavish profusion of flowers. The base of one cliff was aflawe with the red of some flower, the name of which was unknown to any of the party. To add to this riot of color there were flocks of parrots of many and brilliant hues, while of humming and mocking birds there seemed to be millions. Overhead an eagle circled on heavy pinions, and the waters of the lake were dotted with flocks of water fowl. About a thousand feet from the southern shore of this sheet of water—which Hestor had named "Morton's Bay"—was a small island. It was a gem of an island. Basaltic rocks reached up from the liquid depths of the bay, and its northern end was a crag, probably 100 feet above the surface of the lake. To the west it sloped gradually down, and at low tide there was a sand bar. It was on the inner edge of this bar that Hestor had sighted the crocodile. Tall, slender cocoa palms, with their crowns of graceful leaves, nodded in the morning breeze. Caucho, camphor and dragon trees added their beauty to this tropical bouquet. The base of the rocks was hidden in giant pond lilies, ivy and other climbing plants, which festooned the sides of the cliffs, as if struggling to join the masses of flowers which overhung the rocks above. But the water had treasures not less beautiful. At a depth of 50 or 60 feet the bottom of the lake was clearly visible. Looking over the sides of the yacht, the voyagers who were now approaching the shore, saw swarms of fish whose sides reflected the colors of the rainbow. Color is born in the tropics. It dies at the poles. In the chill of the axial antipodes, black and white alone survive. In the warmth of the tropics all objects, animate and inanimate, vie with each other to outrival the imagination of the artist and blunt the pen of the writer. "It looks like a big aquarium, don't it," said L. Sylvester Vincent, as he gazed into the water. "Look at the fish under those rocks!" I'll bet those are angel fish- I saw some just like them at the aquarium down at the Battery in New York. Say, but there are some beauties down there! It looks as if it had been built for them. The rocks are covered with moss, and there is a tunnel just like I saw in the aquarium. I thought at the time that the fish in New York had a pretty soft snap, but these fellows here have them beat in a walk. I wonder if they're good to eat?" The reflections of Mr. Vincent were cut short. By good seamanship Capt. Waters brought the yacht alongside a jutting rock, which nature must have designed as a pier. Four sailors sprang ashore, and in a few minutes the lines were taut; the stumps of two trees acted as posts. Fenders were lowered to keep the sides of the "Shark" from rubbing against the rock, and it was possible to step from the gangway directly to the natural stone pier. "Welcome to 'Hestoria!'" exclaimed Hestor as he leaped ashore. "Come on, gentlemen, and explore the mysteries of the tropics. I want to show you something that will surprise you." Back of the pier there arose a rock which cut off the inland view. Hestor rounded this rock, stood in the open space, and waited for the others to join him. Mr. Pence was the last to quit the yacht and showed an inclination to remain on board. He left only when he found himself deserted. "What do you think of that?" Hestor pointed towards a grove of cocoa palms, in the center of which stood a large bungalow. It was an artistic blending of Moorish and Indian architecture. This building was an ell-shaped structure, the corner of which was two stories in height and rounded in a curve, forming at the front half a circle. From this as a base, there were two long wings one story in height, with sloping roofs, supported at the front by pillars, within which were deep verandas. These verandas were each about 60 feet long and opened into the central part of the structure, which on its interior, as well as in its second story, was a perfect circle. Sidney Hammond looked at Hestor in amazement. "When did you build this?" he demanded. "Never mind when I built it," responded Hestor, with a good-natured laugh. "It's built all right, as you can see. As a matter of fact, old man," he said, addressing Sidney and looking carefully around as if in search of something, "this is the first time I ever saw it myself. I had it built for my tropical residence. What do you think of it, Mr. Rockwell? You are a judge of villas. Is there anything in New York that can touch it for the natural beauty of its surroundings?" [To Be Continued.] An Ingenious Yarn. Bob Grom was the best known pioneer in Central Arizona. The old man was more than 80 years old when he died, a few years ago, and he had been in the territory so long that nobody knew when he came. He spent a fortune in locating mining claims in the central part of the territory, but never realized anything from them. A short time after his death the value of his claims was discovered. Grom was a ranchman as well as a mining man, and he was so eccentric that people who knew him never tire of telling about their experience with him. Once he was caught out in a blinding rainstorm. Darkness overtook him and his companion in the desert. They were unable to find their way, and their matches were so wet that they could not light firebrands. Finally Grom pulled a handful of wet sulphur matches from his pocket and called his shepherd dog. He rubbed the wet sulphur matches on the dog's tail until it glowed with phosphorous, and then ordered the dog to go home. The men followed the glowing tail without trouble.—Washington Post. A Change Had Come Over Him. There are some things in this world for which not even the most profound rural philosopher can account to his own satisfaction. "I never saw an animal move so slowly before in all my life!" cried an exasperated traveler in a New Hampshire stage, behind which the clouds of a rapidly rising storm were growing blacker every moment. "Can't the horse go any faster? You had an excellent one ten years ago, when I used to spend the summer here." "That's the curious thing about it," said the driver, gazing first at his steed and then at the uneasy passenger in a mildly speculative way. "This hoss is the very same identical hoss that I drove that summer. I don't know what in tunket's got into him! He seems to have lost his animation."-Youth's Companion. Appreciated His Mercles Bishop Wilberforce used to tell a story of a greedy clergyman who, when asked to say grace, looked anxiously to see if there were champagne glasses on the table. If there were he began: "Bountiful Jehovah!" But if he saw only claret glasses he said: "We are not worthy of the least of thy mercies."—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Modern Writers Confirm the Bible Teaching Regarding This Function of the Soul. Some modern writers have thrown new light on the power of choice. They have analyzed, says E. P. Tuller, in the Baptist Union, the nature of choice and enabled us to see what it really involves. Many philosophers have struggled over the matter and argued for and against the power of making choices. In the Old Testament it is evident the people who spoke believed people could choose. They were commanded to choose "this day whom ye will serve." And good, sensible parents of olden times who did not know much about philosophy, but a good deal about human nature, did not spare the rod and spoil the child, but believed that a good birch rod assisted the boys to make a choice of going to school instead of going swimming. One of the best recent writers on the matter is Prof. William James, in his Psychology. In a most practical way he calls attention to the possibility of choice and shows that where there is a will there is a way. He contrasts the action of the magnet and filings with that of Romeo and Juliet. In the case of the magnet and filings, if there be no obstacle and conditions are favorable, the filings will fly to the magnet. But the path is fixed. If anything interferes the filings will not take another path to go around and reach the magnet. On the contrary, with the lover the end is fixed, the path by which he reaches the end may be modified indefinitely. Doors, walls, balconies, watchers, parents, are nothing. His power of choice enables him to find a way to his love. So the psychologist further on in his work shows that we have the power of selective attention. The mind presents to us innumerable ideas, but we select from them what we wish to adhere to and consider. Among all the possibilities of being the mind selects and by reenforcing one and checking others forms the path which it will follow, and becomes the person whom the soul desires. Further, the will has power to hold to a definite thought and end. "The essential achievement of the will is to attend to a difficult object and hold it fast before the mind." From there it follows that each person not only determines by attention and selection what he shall think about and what kind of a person he shall be, but more than that he determines what kind of a universe he shall inhabit. "Each one makes his own world. Selects his own material world which is different to the ant, the bird, the ox, the dog, man, men." Some people only see the disagreeable things; others see the pleasant things. By our power of choice, therefore, we may see the sunshine things of life, be sunshine and bring sunshine to others, or the contrary. "Suffice to say, eah of us literally chooses by his ways of attending to things what sort of a universe he shall appear to himself to inhabit." Prof. James gives to us a clear idea as to choice of what we shall be. He says: "I am often confronted by the necessity of standing by one of my possible selves and relinquishing the rest. Not that I would not if I could be both handsome and fat and well dressed, and a great athlete and make a million a year, be a wit, a bon-vivant, and a lady-killer, as well as a philosopher, a philanthropist, a talisman, warrior and African explorer, as well as a "true poet and wit," but the thing is simply impossible. The millionaire work would run counter to the saints, etc. So the seeker of the truest, strongest, deepest self must review the list carefully, to pick out the one on which to stake his salvation. How this all reminds me of Seton Thompson's Raggybug. Raggybug, the little rabbit, was told by his mother who had hidden him away in his nest in the sand and rushes, "to lay low and say nothing." He heard a strange rustling and wanted to see whence it came. He crawled out and satisfied his curiosity. The noise came from a snake, who immediately spied bunny and thought he would have a good dinner. The result was that Raggybug nearly lost his life and had his ear chewed. So we have the power of choice. The strivings and rushings of life must not draw us away from the path of duty. We must lay low and say nothing, keeping close to the path of duty if we would survive the assaults and attractions of evil. We choose daily what we shall be and do. The Start.

The Man Who Does the Best Work Does Not Worry Over To-Morrow's Possibilities. The man who will get most work done, and done with the least trouble whether for himself, for his family or in the calling and duty to which God has called him, will be the man who takes our Lord's advice. Who takes no thought for the morrow and leaves the morrow to take thought for itself, that man will believe that this world is a well-ordered world, as it needs must be, seeing that God made it, God redeemed it, God governs it; and that God is merciful in this—that he rewardeth every man according to his works. That man will take thought for to-day, earnestly and diligently, even at times anxiously and in fear and trembling; but he will not distract and divide and weaken his mind by taking thought for to-morrow also. Each day he will set about the duty which lies nearest him, with a whole heart and with a single eye, giving himself to it for the time as if there was nothing else to be done in the world. As for what he is to do next he will think little of that. Little, even, will he think of whether his work will succeed or not. That must be as God shall will. All that he is bound to do is to do his best; and his best he can only do by throwing his whole soul into his work. As his day, he trusts his strength will be; and he must not waste the strength which God has given him for to-day on vain fears or vain dream about to-morrow. To-day is quite full enough of anxiety, of care, of toil, or ignorance; sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. Yes; and sufficient for the day is the good thereof likewise. To-day and to-morrow, too, may end very differently from what he hoped. Yes; but they may end, too, very differently from what he feared. Let him throw his whole soul into the thing which he is about and leave the rest to God. For so only will he come to the day's end in that wholesome and manful temper, contented, if not cheerful, satisfied with the work he has had to do, if not satisfied with the way in which he has done it, which will leave his mind free to remember all his comforts, all his blessings, even to those commonest of all blessings, which we are all too apt to forget, just because they are as necessary as the air we breathe; which will show him how much light there is, even on the darkest day. He has not got this or that fine thing, it may be, for which he longed; but he has at least his life, at least his reason, at least his conscience, at least his God. Are not they enough to possess? Are not they enough therewith to lie down at night in peace and rise to-morrow to take what comes to-morrow even as he took what came to-day? And will he not be most fit to take what comes to-morrow like a Christian man, whether it be good or evil, with his spirit braced and yet chastened, by honest and patient labor, instead of being weakened and irritated by idling over to-day while he dreamed and fretted about to-morrow?—Charles Kingsley. THE BEST THINGS. Are Those Which Have Had Their Source in the Life of a Vital Faith. The best things in the world, says the Chicago Interior, are fruits, not finds. They are results which have behind them adequate causes. The great wealth of this continent is not its gold or its silver, but its harvests. Beside what we raise, what we discover is a mere pittance. The best things are vital. They grow. They bud and blossom and mature. They are due to living processes whose secret is with the Almighty. The only way to possess the fruit is to possess the life. The only way to possess freedom as a state is to possess the character from which freedom is a natural product, a normal fruit, a vital result. All of this is just as true in the sphere of religion. The only way to possess the fruits of Christianity, "love, joy, peace," is to possess the life to which "love, joy, peace" are native. Neither education nor art can do more than mold and color an imitation of that which owes its being to the vitalizing power of faith. "An altruistic philosophy" has so far proved itself as sterile as a belief in Jesus has shown itself everywhere proliferous. The world looks with envious eye upon the happiness of the believer and attempts to secure it by institutions. Happiness does not come from environment, but from life. The Master and His inspired disciples taught us that faith is a vital thing. It transfuses, suffuses, infuses. Unbelief may imitate its results, but not duplicate them. Root and fruit are inseparable in the divine economy. Whosoever covets the joy of the believer, the peace of the believer, the divine patience of the saint, must, to possess what he covets, possess the faith from which they all spring; that faith which establishes a vital union with the source of all divine life and everything which is most worthy to possess. Believe in the Best. Believe, O soul, that thou art placed in this mysterious and glorious universe, that God formed thee from His spirit for no mean purpose, but for a destiny nobler than thy highest aspirations have pointed to. Believe in the best thoughts and whisperings that visit thy heart. If thou dost catch at times some gleams of the divineness of charity, of the glory of sacrifice, of the grandeur of faith, of the sky-piercing power of prayer, like mountain peaks jutting through fogs, or slopes afar off in the horizon light, believe in them with more enthusiasm than in the stupid dust of the beaten roads. . . . Believe in them, for they are the mountain principles and altar-piles of life.—Stara King. St. Loui ium. Louis Palladium.

REVEALS MOISTURE IN AIR Whe Hydrodetic tw an Instrument That Quickly Reveals Extent of Howmiaicy. The amount of moisture in the air affects sick people and also affects the manufacture of various articles. Every- body feels the effect of moisture in the air. Bighty degrees in a moist -at- mosphere feeis warmer than 90 de- grees in a dry ahmosphere. Air contains moisture at all times. ‘The amount varies from day to day and with every change of temperature. When the air is warm it ean hold more moisture than when it is coid. ‘When the air is completely saturated and can hold no mere moisture it is at the “dew point,” ready to give up some water if the temperatuve be low: ered. If the air is saturated when near the freezing point, 82 degrees Fahien- heit, and the temperature be lowered to about 32 degrees Fahrenheit, there wiil be frost, This is important to farmers, fruit growers and florists, gays a scientific exchange. The hydrodeik is an instrument te tell quickly the “relative humidity,” or amount of moisture in the air at pres- ent temperature, and at what temper- ature this mofsture will be depositec as dew or frog. It will also-tell how many grains, by weight, of water in ee res ( £4. rs Se ee a fe Cli MR. A. W. WASHINGTON. First Baptist Church Notes. Rev. R. H.

Gilree, president; Miss Anna B. ‘Thomas, see- retary. The Carnation club of the First Baptist church gave its first enter- tainment in the nature of a Japanese cantata, last Tuesday night. There were quite a number present, hence the club had quite a suecess. All money raised by the different clubs goes to the church for the purpose ‘of paying of its debt. each cubic foot of air and whether the air has high or low electric tension or resistance, By knowing the probable tempera- ture each night dew or frost can be foretold. ‘The instrument consists of two ther- mometers placed at each side of @ small chart with curved lines. One ‘thermometer. has a lampwick tied about the oulb dipping into a small tank containing water to keep the bulb wet. Evaporation from any surface re- duces its temperature. The wet ther- mometer will indicate a lower temper- ature than the dry one. If there is much evaporation the difference in temperature will be great, indicating that the air is dry. The relative hu- midity is low. If there be very little difference in temperature beiween the two thermometers the air is moist and evaporation is slow. Relative humid- ity is high. | As a result of calculations cyrved lines from the degrees of one ther- mometer to the other intersect. These are crossed by vertical lines, a sliding indicator placed at the point of inter- section of the line from the tempera- ture of the wet bulb to the tempera- ture of the dry bulb will show®the relative humidity. A vertical line will show the degree of temperature the air must be to be saturated and de- posit this moisture as dew or frost. Another series of intersecting curved lines shows the amount of water in the air by weight in grains per cubic foot. Regnault, a French scientist, many years ago made many experiments on the evaporation of water and capacity of the air to hold water. His compli- cated tables were troublesome for the average man to use. The hydrodeik shows you the facts at once without the mathematics. It seems complicat- ed to tell it, but very simple for any- one to understand after seeing the in- strument and using it. GETS VICTOR HUGO’S HOME. Mantetpulity of Paris In Given Hix ‘toric Houxe of Famous French Author by Latter's Kin. ‘The historic mansion on the Place des Vosges, in Paris, in which Victor Hugc spent the most active years of his life has been formally presented to the mu- nicipality of Paris by the grandchildren and other kin of the great author. The event attracted widespread interest in literary circles. Paul Meurice, one ot the chief benefactors, pointed out that the gift was designed to give France a memorial similar to England’s home of Shakespeare and Germany's home of Goethe. The condition of the mansion is much the same as when Victor Hugo occupied it, besides being filled with many val- uable souvenirs of his work, a library ot 5,000 volumes and a collection of the author’s drawings and wood carvings ‘The room where Victor Hugo died is exactly as it was at the time of his de- mise, the furnishings of the bed, the clock nd other articles being identical ‘The house also contains many souvenirs of Victor Hugo's friends.including La Martine, George Sands and the elder ‘Dumas, consisting of inkwells, pens ané letters. OLD-FASHIONED BREAD. ‘The Solid Kind of Our Mothers’ Make ‘What Cets Smocth ax Cream Chesed. ‘There is a difference between solid bregd and soggy bread. The good, old- fashioned bread of our mothers, milx- rising bread, smooth, even as a mar- ble slab, yet perfectly free from sour- ness and sogginess—this is the kind of bread that gives life, says Medica! Talk for the Home. But the blowed-up bread of the pres- ent day, all full of holes, honeycombed with tunnels and cavities, blown up until a few ounces of flour makes a loaf of bread as large az a Saratoga trunk—this is just the kind of bread we do not like. = Bread may be very porous, full of rat-holes, blown up into all sorts of voleanic eruptions—such bread may be light, but it also may be sour and sog- gy. The walls of each one of these little cavities may be of a bluish gray, sticky and doughy. Such bread may be properly called spongy. It certainly is sponge-like in its texture, but it makes very poor food. ‘Phe solid bread of oar mothers, tliat ents as even and smooth as butter or cream cheese, exposing no yawning cavities or honeycombed celis—just an even, crumbly wall of bread of an even color al the way through, is nu- tritious, solid, delicious and .whole- some. Much of the so-called bakers’ bread ts as puffy as a football. It is much wind and little flour. But the worst of it is that such bread is un- wholesome and indigestible and con- tains little real nutrition. Some one-is using an ad. consisting of a half-tone picture of five loaves of bread. There they stand side by side exactly as they were photographed. Each one of these loaves contains the same amount of flour, and yet the row of loaves shows a great difference in size. Beginning with the small one they increase gradually until the lasi one is at least double the size of the first. ‘This is a good illustration of the dif- ferent results produced by making flour into bread. The sixe of the loaf is no criterion of the Sour it contains or the nutrition it is capable of giving. hether the picture is intended to illus- trate that the largest loaf is the best or that the smail loaf is the best, we have no means of knowing. It does not necessarily follow that the lighter loaf is the best one or the most whole- some one. There is a very prevalent notion that the lighter bread can be made the bet- ter it is. This is a great mistake. Take two loaves of equal size and the solid bread of our mothers would contain three times as much flour as the spongy bread of the modern baker. The solid bread is the best in every way. The notion that the light bread of the baker 1s better than the solid, old- fashioned bread is a notion that is stimulating the bakers more and more to produce yet lighter forms of bread. If this thing goes on much longer all vie will have to do will be to at- tach a rubber string to a loaf of bakers’ bread, and, with the addition of a little red paint, we will have a toy balloon for the children. There is a difference between soggy bread and solid bread. Solid bread may be soggy. Solid bread may be whole- some. Light bread may be wholesome. But the chances are that the good, wholesome, solid bread, whether it ie made with the old-fashioned milk- rising or whether it is made with the newer forms of yeast, matters little only so it is thoroughly baked, raised just enough and not too much, and the yeast used has entirely disappeared during the process of baking—the chances are that such bread will not only be the most nutritious, but alse the most easy of digestion. | HAD TO SAY SOMETHING. Neighborly Consideration Wan Ex- hacsted and She Spoke Some- what Unefvilly. A city missionary whose work keeps her most of the time in the tenement- house districts is often called upon to harmonize discordant elements and ad- just the petty differences common among residents of the slums, relates Woman's Home Companion. One day the frowzy-headed and bedraggled mis- tress of a “suite” of two woefully dirty rooms on the “fourth floor back” of a tenement called “The Rookery” com- plained as follows of a neighbor: “She's turrible hard to git "long with, ma'‘am, an’ she ain't got the first in- stink o' a lady, ma’am.” “I hope you have never told her so,” said the missionary, gently. “Indeed I ain't, ma‘am—at least, not in so many words. Because she ain't no lady ain’t no sign I shouldn't be one. I've never said nothing to her ‘eeptin’ to tell her two or three times that o’ all the long-tongued, sneakin’, meddlin’, bad-mannered, low-down trash | ever bumped up ag'in, she beat vem all!

It has no teeth or signs of teeth in the mouth, its whole dental array being located in the stomach. Buck- jand says that they are not true teeth, but that they serve all purposes. They row from the center of each vertebra. ‘They pass through the walls of the stomach and are covered with enamel, just like true teeth. This is nature's provision for breaking eggs without tunning the risk of losing the precious contents, as would be the case if this ogg-eating serpent had its teeth in the proper place.

Address, DEATH ENDS POPE'S REIGN After Remarkable Fight Against the Grim Reaper Head of Catholic Church Passes Away. Final Scene in Death Chamber was Profoundly Impressive—Touching Prayers Offered All Over the World For Departed Soul—Sank Peacefully Into Last Sleep. Rome, July 20, 5 p. m.—Pope Leo XIII., the two hundred and fifty-eighth pontiff of the Catholic church, died at 4:04 o'clock, just 16 days after he was stricken with pneumonia. He was 93 years old and had reigned as the supreme head of the Catholic church 25 years. The announcement of his death was delayed two hours by the Italian government, which demanded full confirmation before it allowed the news to be flashed throughout the world. Then the great bell at the vatican, which rings only to announce the passing of a pontiff, was sounded, and all Rome knew that the end of Leo had come. That the pope could not live through another day was announced by the doctors at midnight last night. His sleep was disturbed frequently, and he was almost constantly delirious. The cardinals were summoned to the vatican to be present when death should claim the pontiff. His POPE LEQ XIII three nephews and his valet were at his bedside. Once they were summoned into the room, as the custom provides, but were quickly excluded when the patient revived. At two o'clock he lost all consciousness and sank gradually and peacefully into the final sleep of death. Oreglia will nominate a secretary of the consistency to succeed the late Mgr. Volpini. Mgr. Gaspari is mentioned. The officials identification of the pontiff's body will occur to-morrow morning in the presence of the members of the sacred college. Then Cardinal Oreglia will tap the pope on the head to ascertain if he is dead. When it became known, shortly before 4 p.m. that the pope's journey through the valley of death was almost finished, Cardinal Vannutelli hurried again to his bedside, and was followed shortly afterwards by what is called in vatican phraseology the "papal secret family," and the "noble family," besides the "personal family," including the late pope's nephews, Comte Ludovico, Ricardo and Camillo, and also all the cardinals at the vatican, who afterwards retired to the adjoining library, after they had been allowed to kiss the pontiff's hand and pass along, presenting another of those pictures which will live in the memory of all those participating in it. The pope, when he had lucid intervals, also realized that the end was at hand. "You will not win your brave fight against death to-day," he said to his doctors this morning on awaking. Confides Church to Cardinal Oreglia. When, during the alarming crisis about noon, he was lying on his bed, perfectly motionless, while around him knelt the cardinals and other members of the papal court, praying and not knowing whether the pope was not already dead, without any preliminary restlessness, the pontiff opened his eyes, which fell on Cardinal Oreglia, who was at his side, and said solemnly: "To your eminence, who will so soon seize the reins of supreme power, I confide the church in these difficult times." Then Mgr. Bisleti, the master of the chamber, asked for the pope's benediction for the court, which the pope granted, adding: "Be this my last greeting." Be this my last greeting. Then the pontifice gave his hand to kiss to the cardinals present, who were Oreglia, Rampella, Vannutelli, Dolla Volpe and Vives Y Tuto. Dr. Lapponi, profiting by the animation, administered restoratives, whereupon the patient sank back as suddenly as he had revived. The aged pontifice was lying prone and unconscious, propped up, to assist him in breathing. One hand lay on the red silk coverlet, the heavy pontifical ring being in danger of falling from the shrunken finger, while the other hand clutched his rosary and crucifix. Though he was entirely unconscious, gleams of intelligence seemed to flit across the worn face, and the shadow of a smile fell over the pallid lips when the nephews passed and reverently knelt and kissed the pope's hand. No word was spoken. The only sound which broke the silence of the death room was the rattle of the arms of the noble guard, who were stationed at every door of the pontiff's private apartments, it being their privileges and right under the circumstances to take possession of the apartments and guard the body of the none. Final Scene in Death Chamber. The final scene in the death chamber was profoundly impressive. The pope's death having been expected since noon, his deathbed was surrounded by practically all the members of the sacred college now in Rome and the whole papal court, while the pontiff's nephews remained in the papal library until they received word from the doctors which announced that his last expiring breath was approaching. Then they moved silently within the death chamber, some standing, some kneeling, all awaiting the awful moment of dissolution. In the ante-chamber had assembled the high ecclesiastics, members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of the papal aristocracy, awaiting the announcement that the final moment had come. Dr. Lapponi, who almost constantly had his fingers on the pope's pulse, felt it become gradually weaker and weaker, and at the same time the pontif's extremities began to get cold, his lips became blue, his eyes sank more deeply into the head, his breathing became even more difficult, and there were strange rattlings in his throat. Finally, the pope was asked to bless his nephews and all the others present. He attempted to raise himself, and the extreme emaciation of his person, covered with a fine nightshirt, was rendered more pronounced by the surroundings. It was a most solemn moment. The head of the pontiff, with its white skullcap, no whiter than the fringe of slivery hair, rising above the crimson coverlet, his hand raised in the familiar gesture of benediction, the kneeling assemblage being too earnestly absorbed in deep affliction, veneration and weeping to even make a movement. Profound silence reigned in the pope's bedroom, only broken by the doctors rising to render their expiring patient more comfortable, by the sobs of the ever-faithful valet, Pio Centra, or the murmured prayers of Mgr. Piferi, the papal confessor, himself 84 years of age, who had to be assisted to the bedside. Softly he recited the prayers for the dying, the pontiff at one moment appearing to follow them as though conscious of what was transpiring, but he could not speak. Then the dying pope murmured something to himself, in which those bending over him heard the words: "Father" and "Mother." The last conscious act of the pontiff was to turn his eyes toward the great crucifix on the wall, after which he suffered from a paroxysm of choking, during which he passed away. Then the silence of awe-stricken assemblage was broken by the sonorous, solemn voice of Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, the grand penitentiary, intoning the requiem aeternam (rest eternal). Outside the death chamber expectation was intense, but the sight of the sorrowing faces of those leaving the room was sufficient, without words, to spread the sad news, which was not long in spreading throughout Rome. Occurrences in Death Chamber. The occurrences in the death chamber immediately following the pope's demise were of impressive solennity. Couriers had been dispatched to summon those who are delegated to perform the first religious offices toward the dead pope, and soon the chanting of the Franciscan monks was heard, as two by two, in coarse brown habits, and with sandaled feet, they proceeded to the room in which Leo lay dead. From time immemorial Francisans have been penitentiaries of St. Peters. Following them came the noble guard to watch over the pontif's remains, the brilliant of their uniforms contrasting strikingly with the somber attire of the quaintly garbed monks and the solemn dignity of the chamber itself. The only sound heard was the measured chanting of the nsalms of penitence, by a group of monks kneeling beside the couch of death. The noble guards took up positions at the foot of the couch and stood by, rigid and silent as statues, with swords drawn. The death chamber preserved much the same appearance as it did at the time of the final illness of the pope. Across the middle of the room hung heavy draperies, partly concealing the bed on which lay the silent form of the dead pontiff. By the side of the low bed burned a number of candles, and from above looked down the picture of the Madonna, with the infant Christ in her arms. Leo's desk was closed, but some of the books on religious topics which he kept, remained on it. The body lay exactly as it was at the moment of the pope's last expiring breath. A white veil was thrown over the dead man's face, while awaiting the solemn entrance of the Cameralengo, who was to officially pronounce the pontiff actually dead. The grewsome details of the embailing will not be performed until after the lapse of 24 hours. Then the body will be robed in full pontiical vestments for the imposing funeral ceremonies. WOMAN AND HOME BEAUTY'S SEVEN NURSES. A List of Don'ts Which Women Who Wish to Remain Attractive Should Obey. Don't forget that the nurses of a man's beauty are seven—fresh air, milk be, warmth, rest, sleep, food and what stirs the blood, be it exer- cise or enthusiasm. Don't neglect sleep. You can sleep yourself into good looks. A long nap and a hot bath will make any woman more attractive, and lift years from her shoulders. Don't eat when tired and don't work when tired. It is a mistake to work when not in fit condition—bad for the work and worse for you. Don't miss your "beauty sleep." It is a mistake to go to bed late at night, rise at daybreak, and imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. Don't give unnecessary time to a certain established routine of house- work, when it could be much more profitably spent in rest and recreation. Don't sit down to table as soon as you come in from work, or a round of social duties. Lie down, or sit down for ten minutes, waiting until you can partake of your dinner with the physical machinery rested and refreshed. Don't bathe in hard water. Soften it with a little powdered borax, or a handful of oatmeal. Don't bathe the face while it is very warm or very cold. Don't wash the face when traveling, unless it is with a little alcohol and water, or a little cold cream. Don't attempt to remove dust with cold water. Give the face a hot bath with soap, and then rinse thoroughly with clear tepid or cold water. Don't rub the face with too coarse a towel. Treat it as you would the finest porcelain, tenderly and delicately. Don't be afraid of sunshine and fresh air. They offer you bloom and color. Don't forget that hearty laughter is a source of relaxation. So are all high thoughts, as those of hope, beauty, trust and love. Don't forget that beauty is power. There is nothing more potent. It is to a woman what capital is to a merchant. Its absence is a misfortune; its culture wise and proper.—Washington Star. MRS. PHIL SHERIDAN. Widow of Famous General Is One of Washington's Most Delightful Hostesses. "I would rather be the widow of 'Phil' Sheridan than the wife of any man living." So said Mrs. Philip H. Sheridan, the widow of Gen. Sheridan, when some of her friends were twiting her upon the subject of marrying again—a statement that her prolonged widowhood has proved, for she is very attractive, bright and entertaining. She has beautiful hands, always well set off by dainty cuffs. Mrs. Sheridan has four children—a son, Lieut. Philip H. Sheridan, United MRS. PHIL SHERIDAN. States cavalry, and three daughters, Mary, Louise and Irene, the last two of whom, known as "the Sheridan twins," can hardly be told apart. They are always dressed alike and are almost inseparable companions. Mrs. Sheridan has just sold her old Washington home, which, with many of its furnishings, was presented to Gen. Sheridan, to Mr. Gifford Pinchot, her neighbor. She will now build another house at Sheridan circle, Washington. She owns a pretty summer place at Nonquit, Buzzard's Bay, Mass. How to Clean Black Silk. Pare and slice very thin one medium-sized white potato; pour over it a gill of boiling water, cover and let stand all night. Next day strain, add enough pure alcohol to make it about the consistency of a thin water starch; then quickly sponge the right side of the silk with the liquid, carefully rubbing each spot, but wetting the whole goods. Then turn and iron with cool irons on the wrong side, always lengthwise of the goods. Serviceable Couch Covers. For couch covers Indian durries are popular, because of their cheerful coloring and hold, pleasing patterns. They come in dull reds, blues, greens and golds and are not very expensive. A large durrie costs about $18. While rain will not injure durries they should not be exposed to showers, as they hold the dampness and are rendered unfit to life or sit upon for several hours. Engagement of British Princess, to Prince Andrew of Greece Based on Genuine Love. The announcement of the engagement of Princess Alice of Battenberg and Prince Henry of Greece has surprised London society in general. It brings forward a very charming British-born princess of whom the public knew little or nothing. Princess Alice is the grand-daughter of Queen Victoria's favorite child, Princess Alice, late grand duchess of Hesse Darmstadt. The bride-elect's mother was Princess Victoria of Hesse Darmstadt; her father, Prince Louis of Battenberg, has now been for many years one of the most distinguished officers in the navy. Princess Louise of Battenberg elected to live as an ordinary naval officer's PRINCESS ALICE OF BATTENBERG. wife, and she and her children have accordingly traveled extensively — indeed, it is said that Princess Alice has been nicknamed by some of her cousins "The Mermaid," because of her constant and close association with the sea. Prince Andrew of Greece, who is his parents' fourth son, has long been a favorite nephew of Queen Alexandra, and his portrait occupies a prominent position in her boudoir at Sandringham. He is, like all the sons of the king of Greece, a very fine and cheery-looking young man. He met his pretty fiance at the coronation, and it is said to have been a case of love at first sight. It is an open secret that the course of true love did not in this case at first run smooth, for both the prince and princess are very young, and not overblessed with this world's goods. However, all has now been arranged satisfactorily, and the royal family is celebrating the betrothal in the good old-fashioned way by giving a series of dinner parties in honor of the happy couple. Prince and Princess Louis of Battenberg own the castle of Heilgenberg, and there they often spend Prince Louis' leaves of absence. AN ANCIENT SLANDER Woman Is No Ponder of Hearing Herself Talk Than Is the Man Who Ridicules Her. The less foundation there is for a slander the longer it lives. How many ideas are in existence to-day that have been handed down through the channels of literature and verbal tradition and are firmly believed in by the mass of mankind, and yet are absolutely erroneous. For example, take that common idea of woman's garrulity. From the prevalence of this mistaken notion one might imagine that man has lost the power of speech and that woman is the sole medium for verbal communication. The so-called "comic" papers teem with jokes in which woman's alleged fondness for "words, words, words," as Hamlet says, is held up for ridicule. The men who write cynical paragraphs for the press are continually harping on this ancient theme of feminine loquacity with such remarks as this: "A man in Missouri hasn't spoken a word to his wife in 16 years. Perhaps he was unwilling to interrupt." Or, "It was said of a certain great man that he could be silent in seven languages. It is rarely that a woman prefers one-seventh of this feat." Funny? Perhaps, but with a sting. Let us see whether verbosity is a purely feminine characteristic. Preaching and the law may be regarded as chief among the "talkative" professions, and these are filled almost exclusively by men. Barbering, too, which is somewhat of a conversational calling, attracts many more men than women and who ever heard of a female auctioneer? The truth is, the power of speech was given to both men and women for intelligent use, and one sex abuses the privilege about as much as the other. But to lay the entire burden of criticism upon woman is the essence of injustice—Housekeeper. Removal of Iron Rust. Iron rust may be easily removed by covering the stain with a thick layer of salt, and then saturating it with the piece of a lemon and laying it in strong sunlight to bleach. If the stain does not come out with the first application it certainly will with the second. Sufficiently Urged. "I wonder why none of those McGabbleton girls has married?" "I suppose it's for the same reason that you didn't attend the Vanderbilt wedding."-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dishwashing Made Easy. A little soda in water for greasy dishes is a great help and a bit of blue in the water in which glass is washed adds much to its brilliance. Gloss clothes must be free from all fluff. A Left-Handed Acquaintance. Mrs. En Regel—How did you happen to know that Mrs. Fitz Quigsy? Mrs. Savoir Faire—Oh, I don't know her; she just belongs to our church.—Brooklyn Life. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson in the International Series for July 26, 1903-Saul Rejected as King. THE LESSON TEXT. (1 Sam., 15:13-23.) 12. And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Lessed be thou of the Lord; I have performed the commandment of the Lord. 14. And Samuel said, what meaneth then this bieating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 15. And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; and the rest we have utterly prayed. 16. Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to thee night. What he said unto him, Say on. 17. And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed the king over Israel? 18. And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and night against them until they be consumed, 19. And thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord? 22. And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag, the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gigal. 22.

Behold to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 22. For rebellion is as the sin of wickedness and idolatry.

For disobedience he was twice rejected; first, as to his house (13:13, 14), and, second, as to himself (15). One will have to study the whole story of Saul's reign in order to ascertain all the reasons that led to his rejection. The news of the union of the scattered clans of Israel under King Saul, and their victory in Gilead, soon reached their long-time oppressors, the Phillistines. They immediately plan to invade the land, to reassert their authority and again to terrorize the people into subjection. The Hebrews flee, some finding refuge in the mountains, others leaving the country. Saul bravely recruits the faithful ones at Gigal, where Samuel had instructed him to wait before striking the first blow for independence. After waiting a week, in impatience at the non-arrival of the prophet, the king prepares to begin the campaign, and as the initial step, sacrifices burnt offerings. At this juncture Samuel appears and severely rebukes Saul for disobedience, threatening to wrest the kingdom from him. Saul's sh was not the mere act of assuming priestly functions, as has been traditionally supposed. It was his impatient self-assertiveness in failing to wait for Samuel's advice as to God's will in this great national crisis. Yet Saul's little army succeeds in repulsing the Phillistines, through the personal bravery of his son Jonathan and the strange panic he causes among the foe. Saul leads the triumphant pursuit, with constantly growing forces. This chapter shows plainly that Saul's devotion was to the forms of religion, rather than its spirit. Some years after this first campaign with the Philistines, the events of today's lesson occurred. Samuel, still supreme as the adviser of the king, brought word to Saul that Israel's ancient foe, the Almakites, must be destroyed. Such wholesale slaughter could not be justified in Christian times. The Cambridge Bible says: "Such commands were an accommodation to the moral and religious state of the nation to which they were given. Revelation is progressive, and God's dealings with the chosen people, while designed to raise and educate them, were necessarily conditioned by their moral state at the given period." Meeting Samuel awkwardly on his return, Saul greets him with a pious expression of welcome, lays upon the soldiers the blame for his own disobedience, and untruthfully claims that all the animals spared were intended for sacrifice. "Jehovah anointed thee:" Saul is reminded that he is answerable to One higher than himself; yet he has disobeyed God's prophet. "Didst fly upon the spoil:" Descriptive of a wild carnival of eager, selfish greed. Yet Samuereh intended the expedition to be a religious one, to execute what he believed to be the divine will. "To obey is better than sacrifice:" Moral conduct is more than ritual—one of the loftiest thoughts of the Old Testament and the keynote of all prophetic teaching. "God rejects Saul from being king over Israel, since he had rejected God from being King over Saul."—Adams. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. God rejects one only after one's acts show that he has the disobedient spirit. By disobeying God one misses the highest career that is open to him. It is not so much God who rejects man as it is man who rejects God. When a man boasts of his broad-mindedness he is usually trying to hide his shallow-headedness. - Ram's Horn.

Capsizing in Shallow Water One of the Delights of This Incomparable Summer Sport. Many a boy's acquaintance with canoes has begun with a "dugout," a jolly old log needing the skill of a bicycle骑车 to keep it right side up. Alarmingly unsteady, it had the virtue of never sinking, and always promptly righting itself after upsetting the occupant. On many of the northern waters 40 years ago these dugouts were part of the equipment of a farmer. Now they are kept as mementoes of nautical evolution. To-day the uninitiated is bewildered by the variety of canoe craft. Pleasure of canoeing is to choose a small stream and watch it grow in volume and importance. One should travel in light marching order. Flannels, blankets and rubber sheets are indispensable. On this the first trip you may try hammocks, but you will soon discover that the ground is preferable. Sleeping in a hammock is wont to develop "stitches" and cramps, to say nothing of the tendency to give one's neck a "set" at an ungraceful and uncomfortable angle. The commissariat should include some substantial food, as tinned meats and hard tack, which should be constructed on the compartment combination plan with provision in the "grub" sack. A trolling line will usually supply fresh fish, and farm houses milk, if one is not quite in the wilds. Take a field glass instead of a gun. Every beginner should realize the fun and acquire the confidence gained by capsizing a canoe. Let him take it, however, to fordable depths and there rock himself into the water. This is one way by which the craft and the man may find themselves.—Country Life in America. SURFBOATS IN CEYLON. Although of Filmsy Construction They Are Able to Do All Sorts of Queer Stunts. The illustration shows a Ceylon surf boat, which is also used for fishing purposes. This is the case not because the craft offers any peculiar advantages for the purpose for which it is used, but because of the fact that, as Ceylon is almost entirely surrounded by reefs and there is constantly a terrific surf, nothing short of surfboats would be able to get out to the open water. The fishermen in Ceylon are a very peculiar lot. A ship in the sea A CEYLON SURFBOAT. They form a caste of their own and appear to think themselves better than the people upon whose purchases their daily bread depends. They are able to do all sorts of stunts with these surfboats, and, considering their filmsy construction, it is really remarkable how few accidents occur. The Adage Held Good. Judge Cox, of the United States circuit court, while delivering a lecture at Columbia university, told of a young lawyer who came before the supreme court to argue a case in which he was also defendant. Addressing the court, he referred to the old French adage declaring that he who argues his own case has a fool for a client. After the case had been heard he left for his home in St. Louis, asking a friend to notify him by wire when the decision was handed down. This was the pithy dispatch he received: "Old French adage affirmed." Why Willie Was Excused. The following note was recently received by a Higginsville (Kan.) schoolteacher: "Respected Miss: please excuse Willie for absents. He fell down stairs just before school time and we feared his internal insides was hurt at first, but they aint. The Doctor says that no part of his Anatomy was hurt but the brewzing of the eppyredmis of the outside hide and also his hipp hurt some. But he narrowly escaped fatal death. So kindly excuse." WISE WASHINGTON DOG. Nig Does Many Wonderful Things and Is the Recognized Mascot of a Fire Company. A number of fire companies of the district are possessed of mascots in the shape of dogs or other pets which have a firm hold upon the affections of the men and command their stanch support in claims for superiority in intelligence and physical prowess. Most of them are dogs who have developed a love of the excitement incident to the response to alarms and usually take a prominent place on the run to the fire. Some of them are often noted setting the pace for the engine or other apparatus of their company, running just ahead of the horses and barking loudly with elation to see the people scattering to either side as they come on. Usually their lives do not cover a very long period in the fire business, for, becoming overbold or lacking a trifle in alertness, they are caught under the feet of the onrushing team or are not quick enough to avoid NIG CLIMBING A LAMP POST some falling timber or piece of apparatus, and their career comes to an abrupt close. Several weeks ago the mascot of Truck D was killed, being run over by the truck while answering a call. The old Franklin Fire company or No. 1 chemical has a dog mascot who bids fair to equal the bravest, and yet who has sufficient level-headed caution to insure an extended life of usefulness. His name is "Nig," in consequence of his being black all over except for a white spot on his breast. He is a bull terrier of heavy build, with a well-kept coat and intelligent face, and may nearly always be found somewhere near Assistant Chief Wagner or Foreman Harper. The latter goes over to Georgetown every day for lunch, and is almost invariably accompanied by Nig. If it happens that Nig is not at hand when the foreman starts for home when he does find that his friend has gone he gives one evidence of the superiority of his intelligence over that of the ordinary dog. Running out on the avenue he waits for a car to stop; if it should happen to be yellow it is of no service Nig, and he does not pay any attention to it. But when the car is green Nig gets aboard and remains on the car until it reaches the point nearest to his destination and there hops off. The men in the company believe he can distinguish between the alarms to which his company must respond and those not in its district. At any rate, if anywhere near when the apparatus is to go, he is always ready for the run. He is not foolish enough to run in front of the horses but usually keeps to the side of the engine. No matter how many other pieces of apparatus there may be at a fire he can always pick out his own, and when the fire is out usually rides home on the driver's seat. At times he seems to want to help his friends in the work of extinguishing the flames, and rushes with them into burning houses without a sign of fear. It is related that at a fire in an uptown residence recently it was feared that someone was asleep in the upstairs rooms and two men were sent to investigate. The smoke was very dense and they were crawling along the floor of a hallway holding their faces close to the floor to get the purer air, when one of them felt something brush against him from behind, and then a dog's sneeze was heard, and it turned out to be Nig, who was evidently concerned lest they venture into too great danger. He will do anything his comrades ask of him if it is within the possibility of accomplishment by a dog, and indeed might even attempt the impossible. The photo shows him climbing a lamp post after a rag which one of the men fastened up there and ordered him to fetch down.—Washington Star. Fight on Trolley Fender. The spectacle of two game cocks fighting on a trolley car fender was presented to passengers on board a car in Pittsburgh recently. As the trolley was speeding down a steep hill Motorman William Hahn saw two roosters in battle on the tracks. Hahn attempted by clangs of the bell to frighten off the fowls, but failed. Both birds were in the air when struck by the car. When they came down they were on the fender. The battle was renewed, and it was not until several blocks had been passed that the fight ended in the death of one rooster. The winner flew away. How Bay Rum Is Made. Bay rum is manufactured from the dried leaves of Pimento acris. Bay rum is procured by distillation, and this in a very simple manner. The leaves are picked from the trees and then dried. In this state they are placed in the retort, which is then filled with water, and the process of distillation is carried on. The vapor is then condensed in the usual way and forms what is known as "bay oil," a very small quantity of which is required for each puncheon of rum. Pen Retains Its Might. More steel is used in the manufacture of pens than in all the sword and gun factories in the world. WILLING TO REPEAT. Young Hunter Captures Something More Than Game on One of His Expeditions. On the Kronprinz Wilhelm, one moonlight May night, a young man and a girl were discovered making love. The news of this discovery spread among the passengers, and many a joke was cracked, says the Kansas City Journal. But Senator N. B. Scott, of West Virginia, said in the smoking-room: "There is nothing to laugh at here. Innocent, too, is natural. The young. This fact was well brought out by an adventure that happened to a friend of mine, years ago, in the mountains of West Virginia. "The young man was hunting. He came to a lonely cabin, and, being thirsty, he knocked at the door for a drink. The drink was handed to him by a girl so charming that, with a smile, he said: "Would you be angry if I should offer you a dollar for a kiss?" "No, girl, the girl answered, with a little blush. "So my friend took the kiss, and then he gave the maiden the dollar. She balanced it in her hand a moment. She knitted her pretty brows in perplexity. "What, 'she asked, 'shall I do with all "What," she asked, 'shall I do with all this money?' "Why, anything you please, my dear," said my friend. "Then, she murmured, I think I give it back to you, and take another kiss." He Feels Good.

"Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy.

To dress a salad, put the lettuce, shiory or whatever vegetable is to be used, perfectly washed, dried, chilled and with each leaf separated, into a salad bowl large enough to hold it without bruising the crispleaflets. It a large glass bowl can be provided it adds much to the beauty of a salad, says Good Housekeeping. Serve on a silver tray with the oil and vinegar crutches, salt and pepper and a salad fork and spoon. Always remember one rule; the oil must be poured first on the salad. If the leaves are first wet with the vinegar, the oil will not adhere but run to the bottom of the bowl, making a salad which tastes only of vinegar, pepper and salt. For this same reason the lettuce must be perfectly dry; if wet the oil will not coat it properly. Set the lettuce or chickory in a bowl looking as if the head were still entire but with each leaf separated. Hold a salad spoon over the bowl; into it shake some pepper and salt, then fill the spoon with oil. Allow this to sprinkle over the lettuce; toss the leaves lightly till they shine. Add two more tablespoonfuls of oil, tossing again with gentle handling. Run the spoon and fork down the sides of the dish and lift the salad with an upward movement, letting it mix as it falls back. Afterward, sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, then serve. The proportions of oil and vinegar may be varied to suit the taste. Four parts of oil to one of vinegar is liked by lovers of oil. A very delicate flavor may be imparted to a plain green salad by rubbing the inside of the salad bowl with half a cut onion or sprinkling the lettuce with finely cut chives. If the faintest possible flavor of garlic is liked make what the French call a chapon. Rub a In Europe there are a few persons who are certainly of an original turn of mind. One of them maintains that all wrinkles can be removed from a face by the constant application of an electric battery, which is so small as to be almost invisible; another claims that fish can be utilized for the purpose of towing vessels; a third suggests that while a body is being cremated an orchestra should play funeral airs softly in the distance, this being in his opinion the most efficacious method of assuaging the grief of the mourners, and a fourth desires to have a law passed that every crematory shall be provided with a room in which appropriate elegies shall be recited by salaried poets while bodies are being burned.—N. Y. Herald. "I remember as well as if it only happened yesterday that in my younger days I once walked 20 miles at a stretch for the purpose of thrashing a hated rival." "And did you return on foot?" "No; they brought me home in an ambulance."—Stray Stories. What Wet the Wireless. Ship Steward—Mr. J. Brown, sir? Wireless message for you, sir. Mr. Brown—Why, man, it's soaking wet! You've let it fall into the water. "No, sir. Flurry of rain, sir, between us and the other vessel. Must have got wet in transmission, sir."—N. Y. Times. The Trouble in the Case. "You see," said the Social Reformer, "we arranged a harmony dinner to help reconcile labor and capital, but it didn't come off." "Why not?" "Why, just then the bricklayers asked for shorter hours, and the waiters went out or a sympathetic strike."—Puck. A woman's dictionary is the latest project. Wonder how it will define the word "man."

Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave forty-five years; he passed through the civil war in the commissary department, rnd since that time; through friends, he has secured several good positions; in 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, Street Commissioner under Mayor William L. Ewing, then under Hon. D. R. Francis, who was Mayor of St. Louis. For the past ten years he has been a patient sufferer; not being able to do any hard work, yet he was always willing to do something for a living. He is now a newsdealer, selling papers; by that means he makes a fair living. He sells the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so. Remember he cannot get out, but you can get the St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house--209 South Fifteenth street. HARRY PENN, Night-MIXERS-JOHN H. CLARK, Day. IN, Prop.
