TANDY, Chairman Committee on Transportation. THE LOSS OF H. O. CARROLL IS MOURNED BY MANY. After many years of suffering, death relieved him of his pain. Mr. Carroll had been for the past thirty years a prominent leader in politics in the Fifteenth ward. Although deprived of a common school education, his natural ability made him a leader. Well do I remember when Carroll carried the Fifteenth ward at his pleasure, and was called into council with the best of our republicans, and his advice credited with good results. From the time he entered politics, he was chosen as delegate to almost every city and state convention for the past 24 years. No truer, tried, honest man ever lived. His word was his bond, and his dealings with all the different factions of his party were in the best of spirits. Mr. Carroll was 73 years of age. He leaves a loving daughter, who, with his two sons, cared for their old father with as much care as a mother would her babe. He was buried from his residence, 103 South Fourteenth street, Tuesday, July 10. Rev. Jefferson, officiating, preached quite an able sermon. Undertaker W. C. Gordon had charge of the funeral. We deeply sympathize with the relatives and friends in this hour of their trouble in the death of so good a father and citizen. GONE ON A VISIT TO SEE GRAND- Miss O. Gray and little Dorothy Brockman, of 2724 Mills street, left for Cadiz, Ky., to visit their grandparents. They will return in about six weeks. We wish them a pleasant visit.

WILL BE RESTORED TO ARMY Intimated In the Chamber of Deputies That He Will Be Promoted To the Rank of Brigadier General. Paris, France.—The supreme court has announced its decision annuling the condemnation of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus without a retrial. The effect of the decision is a complete vindication of Dreyfus, entitling him to restoration to his rank in the army as though he had never been accused. The decision of the court was read by Presiding Judge M. BallotBeaupre, president of the court of cassation, immediately on the reassembling of the court at noon Thursday. The palace of justice was thronged by an eager crowd seeking admission to the courtroom. Among those present were Matthew Dreyfus, brother of Alfred Dreyfus; Maltre Mornard, counsel for Capt. Dreyfus; Joseph Reinach, the historian of the Dreyfus affair; Col. Picquart, Mme. Zola, and many others who have figured in various stages of the celebrated case. Capt. Dreyfus was not present, continuing his habitual secrecy by remaining secluded in the garret where he has hitherto been cut off from the outer world. The scene as the decision was pronounced was one of impressive dignity. The reading of the decision lasted an hour, and it was only at the close that the spectators realized the sweeping nature of the vindication. Mathew Dreyfus hastily carried the good news to Capt. Dreyfus and Mme. Dreyfus. In the chamber of deputies the discussion of the Dreyfus case was postponed, owing to the assurance of Premier Sarrien that Dreyfus will immediately be restored to the army with the rank of brigadier general. SEVEN GIRLS DROWNED. Cedar Rapids, 1a.—A party of eight children at a picnic on the river bank only three blocks from home went wading Thursday afternoon. The smallest one slipped into a deep hole in the river, and in trying to rescue her six others were drowned. The dead: Lucille Sweeding, aged 7. Hazel Sweeding, aged 14. Gladys Sweeding, aged 10. Josie Sweeding, aged 12. Ruth Coyle, aged 11, Sioux City. Cora Coyle, aged 9, Sioux City. Clara Usher, aged 16. Ruth Klersey, the only survivor," said they were wading when little Lucille Sweeding slipped off a shelf in the river bottom in the deep hole. Hazel Sweeding rushed after her, slipped into the hole, then the next girl rushed after her, and so they kept trying to save each other until all of the girls except Ruth Klersey had been drowned. She then ran home and gave alarm. Four of the bodies were quickly removed from the water, but it was too late to resuscitate them. WAS NO LOSS OF LIFE BY THE QUINGY WRECK La Crosse, Wis.—According to an official announcement there was not one death from the accident in which the steamer Quincy was wrecked Wednesday night near Trempealeau, Wis. Though nearly all of the 200 passengers lost all of their clothes, many escaping in their night garbs to shiver for hours in a swamp before being taken to LaCrosse and Winona, no one was injured. Capt. Kileen, in a statement, declares it is impossible to place the blame on anyone. He declares the accident was unavoidable. T. M. Kane, of Clinton, Ia., returned from the wrecked boat, where he had found under his mattress his pocketbook containing money and valuable papers. The boat will be raised in a few days and will be repaired. TWENTY-TWO BUILDINGS GONE. Terribly Destructive Fire Wipes Out Business Portion of Lynville. Ind. Boonville, Ind.—A conflagration that started at 11:30, o'clock Wednesday night destroyed Lynnville, a town of 1,000 population in the northern part of the county. Twenty-two buildings were reduced to ashes. The loss is estimated at $200,000. The fire began at Fulling's store, supposably of incendiary origin. John A. McCall's Estate. New York—The net value of the estate left by the late John A. McCall, former president of the New York Life Insurance Co., was $40,835, according to the report of the appraisers of the estate, filed in the surrogate's office. Fearing an outbreak. Poltava, Russia.—Several hundreds of Jews have left this city, fearing an anti-Jewish outbreak, out the spirit shops are closed and the authorities have promised to prevent any disturbances. ENTITLED TO A VOTE OLD SOLDIERS IN HOMES IN MIS SOURI. Supreme Court of the State So Decided in an Opinion Written By Justice Lamm. Jefferson City, Mo.—The supreme court of Missouri, in an opinion written by Judge Lamm reverses the decision handed down by Circuit Judge Evans, in the contested election case of Hale vs. Stimson, in Phelps county. The circuit court decided that soldiers in state homes could not vote, and the votes of those at the St. James federal soldiers' home were thrown out, and Hale declared elected collector of Phelps county. In his opinion Judge Lamm says in part: It is written: "And as they bound Helen, who hongs, Paul said to the centurion that it was a Roman that to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned? When the centurion uncondemned? When the captain, saying, Take heed what the doest; for this man is a Roman. The chief captain came, and said unto the captain, Yes. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free Verily, My Missourian did not stand on the order of his going, but went under the smoke of war you see him riding and fighting in gray with Shelby or Martin Green, or marching and fighting with Price and Cockrell, with Parsons and Gates, with Gates, with Gates, or you see him in blue, marching and fighting with Blair, Phillips, Crittenden and Osterhaus, with Lyon, Sigel, Guitar, Hale. When he came home from Missouri, with his mighty mother, the state of Missouri, with his heart, him as his son, proud of his deeds, resolute to cherish his memory, magnanimous to forget his quarrel, tender of both uniforms, and mourning over the dead man and desolate confederate and federal. In this condition of things we are told that the constitutional convention of 1875 so wrote the fundamental law that if the person who is to be stranded the foot of the hill of life, stranded in health and empty of pocket, it could not give them a home or a fireside except at one and the same time it took from them the power of the prerogative religion in a free state, sustained by no overawing standing army, where its love must grow and its protection must rest in the hearts of the people patriotism should be construed as ungrateful or unpatriotic when the state is not in the hands of citizenship. The statutes and constitution of such a state must not be construed as ungrateful or unpatriotic when their patriotism to hold up before decrepid defenders, deserted by fortune, the picture of being rewarded for their sacrifices and valor with the brand of a pauper in the language of the statutes regulating such institutions, R. S., section 2002, the superintendent thereof "shall have power to cause persons kept in such danger to die or be stranded, to perform the same by reasonable and humane coerption."

ARE BUYING We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Total ..... 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them.

Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispuse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW.

Switzler as having described Thomas H. Benton thus: "Benton was, in some respects, the most remarkable man I have ever known, but he could not begin a career at this time. The people would not tolerate him. He would impress even a stranger by his appearance. He walked as if he owned the earth. With head raised at an angle of 45 degrees and hands behind his back he would stalk with measured tread down the street, looking neither to right, nor to the left, recognizing no one. If he had an appointment to speak at 2 o'clock, promptly at 2 o'clock he would arrive. He would come in his carriage unattended. He would permit no one to introduce him. But, passing through the crowd, he would make his way to the rostrum and begin, 'Citizens.' Never did he say 'Fellow Citizens.' Those before him were no fellows of his. And when he had concluded he would make his way back to the hotel, without personally addressing a soul in the audience. No one dared interrupt him in his speech. He refused to recognize the right of any constituent to ask him how he stood on any subject." State Mineral Statistics. State Mineral statistics Statistics gathered by Labor Commissioner Anderson for his forthcoming report show the surplus production of coal, mineral and building stones in Missouri last year, and their value, to have been as follows: Coal, 4,660,720 tons $7,457,152; lead bearing rock, 577,542 tons $2,210,168; zinc ore, 240,890 tons, $10,840,050; lead ore, 162,443 tons, $8,924,365; iron ore, 197,946 tons, $445,338; lead concentrates, 132,260 tons, $5,294,400; pig lead, 86,154 tons, $6,892,320; tiff and barytes, 39,192 tons, $148,768; gravel and ballast, 52,162 tons, $1,304,050; pig iron, 31,134 tons, $498,144; sand, 13,376 cars $267,520; copper ore, 15,137 pounds, $1,655; stone, 11,543 cars, $577,150; zinc oxide, 10,830 tons, $1,083,000; tripoli, 5,977 tons, $71,724; clay and kaolin, 5,874 cars, $146,850; coke, 3,948 tons, $11,844; granite, 2,992 cars, $613,360; sulphite of copper, nickel and cobalt, 1,700 tons, $170,000; lead slag, 83 tons, $1,826; sublimate of lead, 16,663 tons, $1,999,560.

Judgment was rendered in the circuit court of Jackson county in favor of the Liberty Ladies college in the suit brought by that institution against J. A. Rose, of Kansas City, for the balance of $197.50 alleged to be due for tuition for his daughters' schooling. Every defense set up by Mr. Rose was contradicted by the plaintiff's witnesses. It was settled to the satisfaction of the jury that there were no mice to disturb the Misses Rose, nor did the music teacher smoke in the music room as had been alleged. Other defenses set up as to the character of the food were also found to be groundless by the jury. Liberty Ladies' college is one of the oldest and best known institutions of its kind in the state. Never Rode on a Train. Augustus Bishop, a barber in business on the north side of the square in Liberty was on the south side recently for the first time since the civil war, being drawn there by the removal of the postoffice. He says there has been great improvement in the block since he was there. As a matter of fact, the entire block has been rebuilt. Mr. Bishop was born and raised in the north part of Liberty, and was never inclined to run around with the other boys. He has never been in the south part of town, and has never ridden on a railroad train. He has accumulated quite a fortune by staying at home and attending strictly to his own business. New Paper in Wright County Through the efforts of the Wright county democratic central committee, the services of E. J. Hickman have been secured, and Wright county will have a democratic paper published in Mountain Grove. The Wright County Democrat is the name given by the editor. Mr. Hickman is an experienced newspaper man, was formerly editor of the Puxico Index and other papers; is a son of ex-Railroad and Warhouse Commissioner Hickman. Beggar Gets Nine Years. Samuel W. Smith, age 55, who has at various times posed as an object of charity, was sentenced to nine years in the penitentiary for assaulting Simon Stern, the aged superintendent of charities at his office in the court house last February. Supt. Stern had once declined to give Smith aid and the assault was an act of revenge. Smith's sentence was the maximum. Insanity was the defense. Was a Coincidence. A couple was married publicly as a part of the Fourth of July celebration in Excelsior Springs. The bridesmaid and best man were named Waters and it rained during the entire ceremony. Popped a Hole in His Hand. The proprietor of a popcorn wagon in Moberly went to popping fire crackers on July 4 and blew a hole in his hand. "Cobbler stick to your last," is an injunction he should have heeded. Water's Good Work. What is the matter with the Ozarks? Five-sixths of the people of Missouri live on two-thirds of it. One-third of the state is but sparsely settled, although it has demonstrated one kind of usefulness with the big red apple. The professors of the college of agriculture have been traveling over the plateaus and the bald knobs. They have brought to Columbia barrels of the soil of the Ozarks, and are learning what it wants and how to supply the need with practicable effort. On the vacant lots and waste places about cities and towns grows luxuriously a familiar weed. It is a distant and disreputable cousin to alfalfa, and is noted for its ability to take care of itself. It is Bokhara clover. In the Ozarks this Bokhara clover grows like a weed. And after this weed has grown on land which was wholly unproductive before, Kentucky blugrass will come and cover the ground with sod. That is one thing the college of agriculture has found out about the Ozarks. Missouri is an empire state when it comes to farming, but Prof. Waters is already at work to save the empire. "Phosphorus, more phosphorus, always phosphorus," is the doctrine he teaches the 200 long-legged, earnest young men who follow him over the university farm. There are some counties in Missouri where the soil isn't so deep as it is in others, and where the corn crop isn't what it was before the war. Prof. Waters shows his classes half a dozen large pots filled with this soil. Never mind what county! He plants clover in every pot. The first pot is filled with the soil just as taken from the cornfield. The next one has some important chemical constituent added. The third pot is doctored differently. The last pot is simply the soil of the county with a little application of barnyard fertilizer. The poorest crop of clover is on the first pot. The crop upon the last pot far surpasses any of the others in growth and color. The object is so striking that the professor tells his class this government ought to put a prohibitory export duty on phosphate. If he had his way there wouldn't be shipped out of the United States another ton of phosphate. To show the young farmers of Missouri how to top the Chicago market for fat cattle three years in succession with the product of the feed pens at the university farm, how to feed steers to weigh 1,700 pounds and to bring $7.10 a hundred, is doing very well. To teach these boys to save for themselves and their children the inheritance which their fathers and grandfathers have been impoverishing is better.-Walter B. Stevens in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Lid Off in St. Joseph. The Kansas City court of appeals has decided that St. Joseph has exclusive power to regulate, restrain license, tax or suppress dramshops, and that the state law as to dramshops is not applicable to that city because the state legislature had delegated to the city of St. Joseph, in granting it a charter, the full right of regulating dramshops, and as St. Joseph had exercised such power the state is without right to prosecute offenders under the state dramshop act. This decision applies only to St. Joseph and other cities of the second class. It does not apply to Kansas city or St. Louis, and in these two cities the state courts have the right and authority to prosecute violators of the state dramshop law. Fell From a Tight Wire. Three thousand people saw Harry DuBell, the high wire bicycle performer, fall 40 feet from a wire while giving a free out of door performance at Excelsior Springs. He suffered a severe concussion of the spine, a slight dislocation of the knee, internal injuries on the right side and a fracture of the right leg. He probably will recover. Jackson's Good Wheat Crop. Jackson's Good Wheat Crop. Persons living in eastern Jackson county say they never saw a better wheat crop than this year, both as to quantity and quality. It is free from weeds, dirt and rust. One farmer living near Buckner reports 94 bushels from two acres. Another in the same part of the county is said to have thrashed an average yield of 45 bushels from a 50 acre field. Needs the Appointment. Because he is the father of 12 children, Earl Morris, of Centralia, Boone county, believes President Roosevelt should appoint him postmaster. Morris says he is a democrat, always has been and always expects to be. Are Always With Us. A Chillicothe pessimist points out that even if everybody had everything he wanted people would still be pestered with book agents. Springfield's Ambitions. Springfield's Ambutions. Springfield's committee of 100, organized with the object in view of securing 100,000 people for the city, has divided itself into 12 departments. The organization will see that the laws are enforced and will make every effort to improve ten miles of streets, build a new court house and secure a larger population. Carrying Coals to Newcastle.

This week we received a letter com- plaining about a woman leaving her husband and taking all che things in the house. That's nothing. Judge Murphy said, when a Negro was brought before him charged with shooting craps: “What is he charged with?” The officer said: “Your honor, he is charged with shooting craps.” ‘The judge said: “Turn him out, for it is as impossible to keep a Negro from shooting craps as it is to keep him from eating.” So it is with men and women.

We ask them not to class all Colored men alike. The only dif- ference in men in business is honesty in word and purpose, and honesty can only be judged by long dealing with both white and black men in business. There are some Colored men in busi- ness who have their word as their bond, and as long as white men see and know this by dealing with them, treat them accordingly.

Selections from Good Authors on the Goodness of all things, Sweetness . of Women and Folly of Men. Most women yowadays are are fair in proportion as they are false, The less hair a woman has the more time it takes her to do it up. Flatter a woman and she will love you; pity her, and she will hate you. Women are like cats, Both are graceful, both are domestic and both scratch, ‘The farther a man gets away from a dollar, the larger itNooks. You can easily fill the public eye if you have sufficient dust. If you want to know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one when you really need it. When a man finds his clothes are too loose, he should either change tailors or his boarding place. Some women are both good and true —but most of them are too good to be true. Eve originated the Serpentine dance when she waltzed out of the Garden ‘of Eden, i ee More or less, all men have rode in their own carriage, when their mother pushed it along. Some are now rid- ing the mule in the Palladium, A woman can drive a man crazy for twenty-four hours and then bring him to the gates of Paradise in two sec: onds by simply tickling him under the chin.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER New Way to Perfume the Hair --- A HEART-SHAPED PILLOW. New ideas in sofa cushions are always welcome, for the average house- Padded Caps Worn to Give the Hair a Delicate Fragrance—No Heavy Scent Allowed. The girl with the scented hair is the popular craze. Her hats seems to be scented and her veils; yes, and her complexion, too—all perfumed. Does it all come from the scent of the scent- ed hair? That is another question. The girl with the perfumed hair knows how to select her perfumes. She does not pick them out at hap- hazard, by any means. Nor is she reckless with them. She picks out the right scents and uses them in the right way. The secret in perfuming is to choose the wild flower scents. The hothouse scents are apt to be heavy. Or you can choose the "made" scents, which are very good indeed. No matter what odor is selected, let it be one that is refreshing. Don't choose heavy funereal odors. There is all the difference in the world between odors. There are scents that make one faint and depress one, and there are others that enliven. Choose the latter. The girl who goes in for beauty can just as well scent her hair as not and she can do it in an unobtrusive way. In the summer time the hair is heavy and it smells heavy.

The latest notion is to have one or two cushions of heart shape resting on top of the ordinary square pillows, and the result is very good, as the accompanying illustration shows. The cushion is of large size, somewhat solidly stuffed, and from six to eight inches thick. For the center the heart shape is cut out in a flat piece of silk, backed, if soft, with coarse linen or stiffer material, and set with a wide gauging made to lie flat. Sometimes, as in the example here pictured, a touch of embroidery is added. In perfectly plain corded silk without adorment the heart cushion makes an admirable accessory to the sofa furnishing. Broderie Anglaise on ivory lawn, lined with one of the colors dominant in the room, makes an excellent covering for such a cushion, the gauging being dispensed with in favor of a flat-shaped border of the open work. now is the time to scent it. There are ever so many ways of doing it. Upon the piazza of a Newport house a girl sat the other day rocking. As she rocked she held in her hands the tips of a pair of bonnet strings. And she smiled as she rocked and sawed the strings. Upon her head there was a bonnet, not the ordinary bonnet, nor yet a sunbonnet. It was a curious little Venetian affair which might be called a headdress, yet in reality it was a scented hat. The material was a pale pink silk and the lining was pink like the outside. It was made with a little round crown into which the head could be slipped and there were little ear-like tabs coming down upon the neck. These taps were filled with perfume and the top of the hat—the tiny little crown—was also full of perfume. It was redolent as the breeze. Upon the beach one sees women with the padded silk caps, sunning themselves all alone, far from the eye of man, with the little caps upon the hair, and the odor gradually settling into the locks. The best perfume for the hair is a very weak spirits of cologne made sweet with just a very little oil of jasmine which can be added to the spirits of cologne and set away for a couple of weeks to ripen. middle, loop, 5 chain 1 treble in each of the remaining loops of the scallop, 2 chain in foundation loop, turn, 5 chain 1 treble in each loop (with 2 in the middle one) round the scallop, join to foundation, turn; *, 3 chain 1 treble in nearest loop, 3 loops of 5 ATTRACTIVE DESIGN. chain on the treble just made, 3 chain 1 double crochet on the nearest treble of previous row, repeat from * round the scallop, join to foundation and proceed as before.

No outward applications do the least good in such a case; cold baths, leaving off stimulants, especially tea, pleasant associations and strong will to fight the nervous weakness, all help. Study the dietary, and eat nothing that is difficult of digestion; lettuce and the spring onions are very great aids to sleep; sometimes an onion, peeled, sliced and eaten with a little oil, salt and vinegar and a piece of bread, just before retiring, induces sleep. Leave drugs alone. Birthstones. There has been such a revival of the fad of wearing birth stones that one store has instituted the plan of announcing each month which stone is the lucky one for that month. On a bit of cardboard prominently placed on the jewelry counter are the words "Ruby is the birthstone for July," or whatever the case may be. For bridesmaids' gifts the idea of presenting some bit of jewelry like a locket, bracelet or ring with the birth stone of the person to whom it is given has obtained largely of late. LITTLE VISITS WITH UNCLE BY Willie Jones, Circusman. Interest was all agog in the neigh- borhood where Willie Jones lived. A rudely constructed sign printed labor- iously on a piece of ticking donated by Mrs. Jones, depicted to a gaping world of boys and girls the reason. It read: BiG sHoW at JonSeS bARn SatUDAY KUm 1 kUm AW1 aDmiSuN 10 pIns! The great circus had come and gone and left in its wake an influence which found expression in Willie Jones' imitative genius—a show of his own. The family cow, artistically striped across her red sides with bands of whiting, nonchalantly munched her hay, all oblivious to a great placard that announced her as "He onLy Ivivn ZebRie in cAptivLY." Tige, the dog, pulled sullenly at his heavy log chain and seemed not to enjoy Aunt Mary's old collarette tied tightly about his neck, transforming him into 'a teRiBul TlgER;" while Tabble, the placid, even tempered house cat, ignorant of the appellation "a aFriCun hYena," lay placid asleep behind formidable bars that once detained a favorite bantam chicken from scratching the neighbor's garden. Across the hay-mow, five dizzy feet above a ton of upland hay, was stretched the cow rope, while a trapeze fashioned from mother's clothesline and three feet of a broom handle, dangled perilously from the rafters. Down at the carriage entrance the band, composed of Bobbie Wilson beating savagely on the bottom of an old dishpan, was playing the overture, while Jimmie Boggs, bespangled, rosetted and smoothly groomed, champed sputteringly on the bit of Dobbin's bridle, ready for a dash around the chalked ring in an equestrian stunt worthy of Pegasus himself! All was in readiness and the crowd, flushed and eager, awaited breathlessly at the door, ten pins extended in each eager hand. With a blare of horns borrowed from a former Hallowe'en noiselessest and stuck boldly into the mouth of "The Brothers Quinn," the circus was heralded as ready. All went merry as a marriage bell! The "ZebRie" prodded with a sharp stick, cantered wildly around the ring; the "teRiBul TlgeR" growled and showed his teeth, but finally jumped nimbly over the whip of the ringmaster, the "aFRicUn hYeNa" obligingly awoke, stretched her tawny paws, showed her "tEriBul KLaWs" and humped up her "tEriBul bACK1" The applause was vociferous and Willie Jones, Circusman, flushed with victory, clambered onto the milking stool and loudly proclaimed that "the last thing on this programme, laides and gentlemun, will be 'dizy par-chute leep frum t' top of t' carriage house by ME, Willum Jones, t' greatest high jump artist—in—in captivit!" If the applause had been vociferous before, it was deafening now. Cries of "Aw, Billy, you're th' stuff!" "Go it, Bill!" and "Oh! Oh!" rent the air amid thunderous clapping of hands and kicking of feet. "Cum on outside, fellers—and girls," directed Willie, "an' see me leep!" and in a trice the audience scampered to the exterior and ranged along the corn-crib, ready, open-mouthed, for the grand finale. Willie, scantily arrayed in a suit of his father's union underwear slyly extracted from the bureau drawer, threw off his linen duster and ran nimbly up the hayloft stairs, swung easily into the cupola, and thence onto the ridge-pole of the carriage house. In his hand he carried a large, umbrella which he opened solemnly, shouted wildly to his waiting companions after the manner of the trapeze performer in the great circus, and grabbed at the rope down which he intended to slide in triumph to the ground. Alas for boyish contrivance! As he leaped, the rope slipped, swung free from his hand, and with a shriek Willie Jores shot down the shingles to almost certain destruction below! A chorus of cries emanating from the audience proclaimed the danger. Like an arrow Willie sped down the roof—howling in terror. Brave circus attendants shut their eyes, shrinking from sight of the "Er-Bul" climax. And then—Willie's stocking caught on a nail and there he hung, dangling from the eaves, while from his lungs there botted divers cries of distress and shrieks of fearful anguish. Mrs. Jones, hearing the cries, rushed wildly out to find her boy suspended between heaven and earth, his precious life in the keeping of one shingle nail and the texture of a boy's stocking. Snatching up a ladder that stood against the corn-crib, she staggered toward the dangling youth! Up its rocking sides she clambered, white and dizzy, toward her boy! With a cry of relief she grasped him, pulled the stocking off the nail and carried him bodily to safety. Gasping for breath, Willie at last managed to blurt: "It-it—it—it's all right, ma; I had to come down to let th' cat out anyway!" All Mrs. Jones could say between her sobs was: "Bless the Lord for that nail!" And thus ended the career of Willis Jones, Circusman!

Cor. 8:9, etc. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 25. "Stood up." Rose to indicate his purpose of a discussion. This implies that Jesus was in some house, perhaps discoursing on this very subject of eternal life. "And tempted him." Rather, tested or tried him as to his teachings, whether they were wise and good, and accorded with, or different from the teachings of the scribes. He tested him by some of the controverted questions of the day. "Saying, Master," or teacher—equivalent to rabbi or rabboni. Jesus was an acknowledged teacher, as the lawyer. "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" How can I as a child of God inherit from my heavenly Father, and so have possession of, eternal life? Eternal life cannot be earned nor bought, but only inherited. V. 26. "He said unto him." Jesus did not himself quote the commandments, as in the case of the rich young ruler (Luke 18:18-20), but as it was the business of this scribe to know the Scriptures, and as he acknowledged their authority and taught them, he referred the question back to him—"What is written in the law?" He thus avoided all carping criticism. V. 27. "And he answering said," quoting Deut. 6:5, and Lev. 19:18. It was probably a well-known summary. V. 28. "Thou hast answered right." For he had taken, not tradition, but the Scriptures for his authority. Hence, his answer agreed with the teachings of Jesus. V. 20. The Jewish scribe willing, l. e., desiring, to justify himself, because he was not so sure that he lived up to the standard, and possessed this love which was eternal life. "Said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?" The lawyer apparently thought that by certain limitations as to who were meant by his neighbors, "Jews spelled large," he might still feel some assurance that he was possessed of eternal life. V. 30. "A certain man went (was going) down from Jerusalem to Jericho." "The road was a path—for there was no such road as is familiar to us—very dangerous, lying much of the way in a deep ravine through soft rocks in which caves and chambers abounded. It is still necessary to have an escort in passing over that road." V. 31. "A certain priest," Jericho was one of the residences of the priests, who took turns at ministering in the temple. "He passed by on the other side" of the ravine, as far as possible from the wounded man. V. 32. "And likewise a Levite." A Levite was one of the tribe of Levi; a priest was of the family of Aaron in that tribe. The Levites performed the humble services of the temple, as cleaning, carrying fuel and acting as choristers. V. 33. "But a certain Samaritan." The Samaritans were a mixed race, descended from a commingled ancestry of Jews and heathen at the time of the captivity. V. 3. "Bound up his wounds," requiring personal care and gentleness, "pouring in (rather "on them," R. V.) oil and wine," the usual remedies in the east, and commended by Greek and Latin physicians. "Set him on his own beast," while he himself walked beside him. V. 35. "And on the morrow . . . he took out two pence" (denaril) from his girdle, worth about 16 cents each, but the usual pay for a day's labor (matt. 20:2), so that it was equivalent to $3 or $4 in our day. "Whatsoever thou spendest more," etc. He did all he could, consistently with his other duties. V. 36. "Which now of these three . . . was (proved, became) neighbor unto him?" "Ask yourself, not whom you are bound to love and aid, but whom you would wish to love you and aid you if you needed it, and you will know who is your neighbor."—Maclaren. V. 37. "Go, and do thou likewise." Then you will know that you have eternal life. The question with him now was no longer one of understanding the law, but of obeying it; not, Who is my neighbor, but, Do I love him? Practical Application. 1. The test of our love to God is our expressed love to our neighbor, because that is the outward visible fruit of love to God. 2. Jesus Christ was the best type and example of the Good Samaritan. The human race had fallen among thieves, and had been robbed of hope, character, happiness, heaven. But Jesus came from heaven because he had compassion. He bound up man's wounds at infinite cost. He brought him to the inn, his church, the company of his people, the "palace beautiful." he cares for him to the end. Glittering generalities are the rhinestones of speech. Angel of Lower Rank. Father Taylor's youngest grandchild declared she saw angels in the clouds beckoning her to come and play. One day a little friend said: "You're not the only one who sees angels. There's a friend of mine up there too. See!" Little Pearl looked, and then drawned with exasperation indifference: "Oh, yes. But she isn't much of an angel, is she, sitting on the back doorsteps of Heaven, a-swinging her feet." OPERATION AVOIDED EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY She Was Told That an Operation Was Inevitable. How She Escaped It. When a physician tells a woman suffering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. Miss Margret Merkley There are cases where an operation is the only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of menacing female troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham; "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. I doctor after a month, but the doctor later female trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. To this I strongly objected and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The ulceration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am once more strong, vigorous and well." Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive—if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing-down pains, don't neglect yourself: try Lydia E.

"The sudden change from a high and dry altitude to sea level proved too much for me and I became afflicted with catarrh and cold in the head, and general debility to such an extent as to almost incapacitate me for attending to my duties. "I was induced to try Peruna, and after taking several bottles in small doses I am pleased to say that I was entirely restored to my normal condition and have ever since recommended the use of Peruna to my friends." ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS. Delicacy Relished by All Animals— Even the Hippopotamus Devcurs Them with Pleasure. "The peanut is a delicacy relished by all creatures," said a New York animal lover. "I have come to this conclusion after having offered it to every animal in the Central Park zoo, and having it refused by none. "Oh, I know it isn't allowed; but I'm not one of those individuals who offer animals indiscriminate numbers of hard-bolled eggs, frankfurters, cheese sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for that sort of nuisance the rule about feeding is made. A single peanut can't ruin the digestion of a camel—or of any other creature, for that matter, and I never visit the zoo without a bug or two of those legumes to distribute. "Yes, the camel is fond of them—very, and so are the peacocks. The hippopotamus obligingly opens his mouth to let me toss one in, but the mouth is so large and the peanut so small that I doubt if he can quite decide whether he likes it or not." "The kangaroo pokes his funny, horse-like head out to me, munches the peanut with relish, and then begs for more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and even the lion, are all lovers of the peanut."

A physician says: "Until last fall I used to eat meat for my breakfast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from the stomach. "Last fall I began the use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and very soon found I could do without meat, for my body got all the nourishment necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and since then I have not had any indigestion and am feeling better and have increased in weight. "Since finding the benefit I derived from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the food for all of my patients suffering from indigestion or over-feeding and also for those recovering from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not overtax the stomach." "I always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For ethical reasons please omit my name." Name given by mail by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The reason for the wonderful amount of nutriment, and the easy digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to find. In the first place, the starchy part of the wheat and barley goes through various processes of cooking, to perfectly change the starch into Dextrose or Post Sugar, in which state it is ready to be easily absorbed by the blood. The parts in the wheat and barley which Nature can make use of for rebuilding brain and nerve centers are retained in this remarkable food, and thus the human body is supplied with the powerful strength producers so easily noticed after one has eaten Grape-Nuts each day for a week or 10 days.

The devotion of native Christians is often remarkable, and would put to shame those of this country in many cases. The following instance, related by William B. Hunt in the Ram's Horn, is illustrative of this fact: On the bank of an arm of the sea which runs far up into the heart of the richest rice plain in Korea is a market town called Sinaaup. Here every fine day, gather men and women from far and hear to buy and sell. To this busy place about nine years ago came a short, thickset, industrious, though poor, farmer named Hons, with his brother and their families. For two years previous he and his house had been believers in Jesus, and though living in an obscure mountain village the noise of his belief had preceded him. Almost immediately he found many inquiries and on Sabbaths his house was full of men who came to see and to worship with him. He prayed to God, preacceded to men and sought them, traveling all over the big rice plain in the cause of his Master. Men came on foot five, ten and fifteen miles to have him preach the Word. Perhaps twice a year a missionary came and visited the group of believers, receiving catechums and baptizing such as had given abundant evidence of their salvation and toy in the Lord. After this rice farmer had been there a year the congregation had come to number about 30. They could scarcely meet in Hans' house, so they bought another house and made alterations so that it would seat about 90 people. A year later this was too small, so a larger house was bought, and altered to seat about 90. A year later this was too small, and they erected the building which seats about 120 and which they now use as a schoolhouse. They had built this expecting to add on to it immediately as need was felt. But some of their plans miscarried and it was deemed best to commence what they called at that time a permanent building, on another lot and on a larger scale. For the fourth time, therefore, they prepared a house of God which, by crowding, would seat 250 persons. This was found sufficient for their needs up to a year ago. Now their congregation number about 350. So, while they are erecting a building to seat 500 the men and women meet in different places, and hear the Gospel separately. This group is not exceptionally strong, but nas endured many bitter struggles for life, both from foes within and without. Through every storm truth shines forth and the church is increased by the addition of such as are being saved. The support and propagation has been entirely done by and through the believers, for a missionary pays such an occasional visit. Truly such a church is of the Lord. THE MINISTERIAL FACE. Are clergymen too solemn? According to a writer in The Standard, who we suspect is himself a minister, the "sanctimonious face," the badge of official life that has been supposed to mask in part the warmth of heart of the preacher, should be eliminated, and the clergyman must be sanctioned in permitting his lips to reflect the humor of everyday life. No plea for a vaudeville sketch artist doing facial contortions and cracking jokes behind a pulpit is called for, but the idea of seeing life and its problems too seriously is discountened as a sin. The writer says: "Hamor has a rightful place in the preacher's private life. By private life I mean the life in the study and in the home, the life with the few bosom friends, real, free life of the man safely hidden from the limelight. Let not the preacher feel called upon to do pence every time he has a good feeling or takes a hearty laugh. Only recently I met the statement that Chauncey Depew had laughed his way into the United States senate. Whatever sarcasm or sting the saying may conceal, is it not true that many a preacher has frowned his way out of pulpit after pulpit? The precincts of the study are sacred. Yet in this sanctum let me admonish the preacher-student to keep the "joke book" at his elbow. The preacher is prone to one-sidedness, and that the dry, musty side." A. Japanese Tribute. The editor of one of Japan's large dailies pays a glowing tribute to Christianity in the following words: "Look all over Japan. Our more than 40,000,000 have a higher standard of morality than they have ever known. Our ideas of loyalty and obedience are higher than ever, and we inquire the cause of this great moral advance. We can find it in nothing else than the religion of Jesus Christ." Our Opportunity and Mission Gen. Howard, alluding in a recent address to the possibility of an ultimate surrender of the Philippines, said such a thing must not be done until the islands are Christianized. "That," he said, "is both the opportunity and mission of our country, and one of the most successful agents in this work." Christian literature."

Some Asian people, perhaps the Chinese, discovered, many centuries ago, that a kind of iron ore possessed a very peculiar quality. We call this ore magnetic ore, in more common language, lodestone, and it is very widely distributed, especially in the older crystalline rocks. It was found that if a bit of lodestone were placed in water upon a piece of cork or straw braid it would turn till the axis of the stone assumed a north and south position. A phenomenon of magnetism had been discovered by means of an ore that is peculiarly susceptible to magnetic influence. It is an open question whether the Chinese utilized the directive power of the lodestone, but it is certain that the first rude compass was not used on European vessels before the twelfth century of our era. By that time the true magnetic compass had been evolved through the discovery that if an iron or steel needle were stroked on a lodestone it would receive the attractive and directive power of this ore. With this wonderful appliance placed at the service of navigation, the vessels that had hugged the coasts soon dared to venture even out of sight of land. A new impetus was gradually given to cartography, for now the true directions of the coast lines might be charted with some approach to accuracy. It was the hapy fortune of Italian sailors to make the surprisingly excellent surveys of the directions and lengths of the Black sea and Mediterranean coasts and along the Atlantic to British waters that have come down to us in the so-called Portulan maps.—Cyrus C. Adams, in Harper's. BLOATED WITH DROPSY. The Heart Was Badly Affected When the Patient Began Using Doan's. Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West Fourth St., Olympia, Wash., says: "For over three years I suffered with a dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed, and became so tense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared."

One would suppose such an institution to exact no more of inventors than is needed to pay current expenses, but in reality the charges are so high that the state pockets half the income as profit. It is pointed out that for poor inventors matters are almost as bad as they were when Gutenberg, after inventing the art of printing, lived in poverty and finally had to pawn his apparatus. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. No Improvement In one of the Sunday schools in Malden, Mass., recently the teacher of a class of small boys inquired of each one if he thought he had been a better boy during the year. Each answer was in the affirmative except one little fellow about eight years old, who was conspicuous for his silence. The teacher put the question to him a second time, when with considerable earnestness he replied: "I am just as worse as I ever was." The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Any man who has to get up and get his own breakfast while his wife lies in bed is likely to feel like turning the "God Bless Our Home" motto to the wall.

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies; those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

He goes straight back to Hugh Capet (A. D. 987) of France, founder of all that line of kings whose weal and woe culminated in the French revolution, and he can claim lineage with the long line of the Louis of France, St. Louis, Louis XI, Louis XIV, and all the Philips and Ferdinands of Spain, including our own patron, Isabella. In his paternal line are great men, wise rulers and good men, and also monsters of tyranny, Isabuchery and every human frailty. Such names as Philip II., Alva, Torquemada, Crazy Jane, Isabella the Catholic, St. Louis, all suggest possibilities of inherited tendencies that may have come to this amiable youth from his paternal line. Alfonso bears in his face to a striking degree the physiognomical marks of his lineage. The high nose of the Bourbons, the pendulous lip of the Hapsburgs and the emaciated figure of the Spanish line of one of his ancestors because the grandee whose business it was to attend to the fire did not happen to be present when the fumes of the stove threatened the monarch's life. On the contrary, Alfonso XIII. seems to be a good deal of a democrat—Indianapolis Star. A ZAKOPANE HOUSE. A Zakopane house is a very carefully finished wooden structure, built of tight-nitting, heavy logs of spruce, which become reddish brown with age, and are surmounted by a very steep, high shingle roof which gives a good protection against the heavy falls of snow and rain, and with its triangular gables of acute angles harmonizes well with the Tatra peaks and the tall spruce trees. The frame of the door is built of very heavy blocks of wood, surmounted by a semicircular arch, joined together by two anchor-shaped pieces, and held in place by rows of elaborately curved wooden pegs. The big rafters of the ceiling are embellished with carved ornaments of a very unique conception. The circular kolo zboyeckie, the heart-shaped pazenitsa, and the svastica, with sharp points, are some of the main motives of this odd ornamentation with which the goorals in a very judicious way adorn their ashwood furniture, wooden vessels and instruments. It is wonderful how in the center of old Europe they have remained unaffected by the leveing force of modern civilization, and have developed a style absolutely unlike Poland or in neighboring Hungary.—Century. GOING TO PLANT LOBSTERS A Vermont Farmer Who Thought His Land Just About Right "I was up in northern Vermont about the first of May," said the Boston insurance angent, "and one day I had a farmer drive me across the country between two towns. In our conversation he told me that he had 40 acres of land, but owing to its sterility he could hardly make a living. In a joking way, and supposing he would take it as a joke, I asked; "Why don't you plant the whole thing to gondolas?" "Yes, I might,' he mused, 'but I think I have got a better thing—something that will pay big after two or three years.' "‘Aní what is that?” "And what is that: "There was a feller up here from Cape Cod the other day and he told me that it was just the place to grow lobsters, and he's going to send me up half a dozen to begin with next fall." "Did he give you any statistics about them?" "Figures, you mean? All the said was that they took care of themselves, kept skunks away and sold for 50 cents apiece as soon as they were big enough to climb trees. That's good enough for me." His Perpetual Office. The old black auntie who looked after Congressman Robertson, of Louisiana, in his babyhood is disposed to be congratulatory at times. Not long ago she said to him: "I'te proud o' yo', Marse Sam. 'Deed I is, honey, proud o' de way yo' hol' office, jez like yo' father." "Why, what office did my father ever hold, auntie?" asked Mr. Robertson. "Marse Sam," said the old woman, "is yo' done forgot dat? He was a candidate, you' paw was. Ney' knew de time he wasn't a candidate, no, suh; always held de office, Marse Sam, did yo' paw." Lost Ship's Crew. Months ago the Portuguese warship Beptista Andrado, carrying a new governor to Mozambique, disappeared from the world's ken.
