Will you be kind enough to say through the columns of your paper that the little Negro lawyer, W. M. Farmer, never applied for any rates for the state of Missouri; that three months ahead of him you and myself had contracted and applied for rates for our state, and all other states had to accept those rates we made in a railroad pool in Chicago, Ill., right under the nose of this wise guy, which he knew nothing of until some time afterwards. His infamous circular, issued three months after we had gotten our circulars out, and his assertions, are falsehoods upon its face. He says in the circular that I am a disturber, and will continue to be so until I am taken away from the earth. He had better look out; he may go first. I have seen a great many small men like he is pass away. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. He further says in his little infamous circular that he will have the grand master call me down. What arrogance. How presumptuous this little fellow is. Small in stature, in brains, narrow in his arrant bigotry and conceit. The one fare, plus 25 cents, for round trip, was made over the Southern road by you and me. I have sought no quarrel with this little pugnacious fellow, and don't desire any, but when I am forced in the arena I will defend myself. What right has he to instruct our grand master? We have brothers who live in Missouri who have forgotten more than he knows. Let me ask who made those rates he claims he made, and another DR. M. C.

I don't know whether we need his advice in our state. We can get along without him or his advice. Let him attend to Illinois, and not Missouri. Neither Mr. Wheeler nor myself have interfered in making rates for any other state but our own, and if the little fellow had to accept those rates we made, and didn't have enough brains as national grand secretary to make rates, he ought to be silent, and not expose his ignorance touching rate business. All I have said can be proven by proper authority if the said W. M. Farmer himself wants to be set right. I am very respectfully. C. H. TANDY. ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. P. J. Evans, second ex-head waiter of the Avery Beach hotel, South Heven, Mich., is spending the summer in St. Louis, his home city, as head waiter at the Lorraine cafe, Forty-third and Lindell boulevard. Mr Evans has had broad experience in dining car service, and is an able and qualified man. NOTICE! "Three Frees" at the First Baptist church, Fourteenth and Clark avenue, Sunday, August 5, 1906—Free gospel! Free will offering! Free dinner! Let everyone come and aid the old mother church. She wants to raise one thousand dollars that day. Returned With His Prisoner. Special Officer Logan has just returned from Harlem, Clay county, Mo., with Frank Townsend, who is under arrest for a murder committed July 4. ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,JULY 21.1906. ST. PAUL CHURCH AT FESTUS, MO. Last Sunday St. Paul had an outing and railroad excursion to Festus, Mo. Each and every one had a splendid time after all had reached the grounds and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. All were seated ready for the services. Rev. W. D. Cook opened the meeting, and acted as master of ceremonies. After singing, Rev. B. W. Steward was introduced, and preached an able and effective sermon. Rev. Hopkins, a powerful evangelist pastor at Festus, M., made a few remarks, which were very interesting. After the collection, which amounted to over $14, Sister Carrie Jackson, of Arkansas, held forth in a few able remarks, which melted the tears in many of the white people's eyes, who were standing around. Sister Jackson is indeed a powerful evangelist, and understands the people, knowing how to reach their hearts. At first, about 100 white people were present, and took the remarks very lightly, but before she had proceeded far many of them were crying like little children. At this point, about 4 o'clock, the rain started, and many went to the cars for shelter. Items We Noticed. Mrs. Dugger, of 2617 Barnard street, seemed to be having a pleasant time. She is the picture of health. Miss M. A. Brown, of 3224 Lawton avenue, and Mr. J. L. Knifing, of East St. Louis, will soon be spliced. Men and women ought to have that respect for the preaching of God's word which an infidel has—that is, not to disturb them. We noticed a yellow woman talking to a little black girl in hearing of the preaching. They made more noise than a basketful of monkeys. Negro men and women who do not have enough respect for the preaching of the Gospel ought to stay away from these meetings. The Palladium man got 15 new subscribers. All seemed to be well pleased with the course of the paper; that is, of speaking the truth. Miss Alby Simms and Miss Edna Cook seemed to be having a very pleasant time with two other young ladies, whose names we do not know. One old broken-down Negro woman and man said that they did not like the Palladium because it told everything bad and good about the Colored people. Mrs. Laura Fields, nee Mitchell, as we knew her years ago, when nothing but a child, is indeed a most pleasant and wonderful singer. The fire was clearly shown when she sang "Farther On, Farther On; Let's Go Farther." Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief 2601 Lahui avenue CITY NEWS.

WHILE OFF STATEN ISLAND dacaned Quickly Made to Calls For | Assistance, and All the Passen- gers Were Safely Trans- ferred and Landed. New York.—Two large, crowded excursion steamers were in collision, Thursday night. in New York harbor off Staten Island, imperilling the lives of 1,500 persons, but neither in the crash itself nor in the wild panic which followed was anyone seriously injured. The vessels were the Per- seus, of the Iron Steamboat Co., bound for Coney Island, with 500 passengers, and the Thomas Patten, of the Patten line, bound from Long Branch to New York, carrying 1,000 passengers. Calls Brought Assistance. The shrill whistles of the colliding steamers soon brought assistance from boats in the bay, and the im- prisoned passengers were transferred as quickly as possible and brought to this city. Wrecking vessels were promptly sent to the rescue of the vessels. The lower harbor was covered with a dense fog at the time of the collision and the vessels were running at reduced speed. When directly off St. George, Staten Island, the Thomas Patten crashed with terrific force into the port side of the Perseus, smashing the paddle wheel and box and tearing away much of the joiner work. ‘The Patten’s bow and upper foredecks were badly dam- aged. The Vessels Interlocked. The impact was so great that the vessels remained fast together. No effort was made by the Patten to break away, for it was felt that safety from sinking lay in the vessels re- maining interlocked, Crews Summoned to Quarters. The crews of the two vessels were summoned to quarters and then the captains and officers went among the passengers in an effort to restore quiet. A hasty examination indicated that neither vessel was in immediate danger of going down, and the excur- sionists were assured of this fact. Meantime the whistles were calling as- sistance, and while the passengers were rushing about the decks, seeking ‘relatives and friends, the excursion boat Commodore and a Staten Island municipal ferry boat ranged along: side. The transfer of passengers was quickly made and all were brought to the city. FOR SERVICE TO EDUCATION. Dr. William T. Harris Awarded the Highest Carnegie Honor. St. Louis, Mo—Dr. William T.

Sev- enty-five girls at work on the fifth floor left the building by way of fire escapes. None was injured.

HAD FORTUNE OF $3,000,000 She Never Fully Recovered From the liness That Prostrated Her Shortly After Her Retarn ‘Ron iat London—Lady Mary Curzon of Kedleston, wife of the former viceroy of India, who has been ill for ten days, died at 7:40 o'clock Wednesday even- ing. She never quite recovered from her serious illness at Walmer castle, Kent, in 1904, and the recent hot weather brought on a pronounced at- tack of general debility.

From Chi- cago the Leiter family moved to Wash- ington, ard later traveled extensively and entertained lavishly. During her stay in England Miss Lefter met George N. Curzon, eldest son of Rev.

London Papers Have Only Good Words For Lady Curzon, London.—Numerous editorial ar. ticles in the morning newspapers deal sympathetically with ghe death of Lady Curzon of Kedleston. They dwell on her intellectual force, beanty, grace and tact, and the brilliant suc- cess she achieved in India where, as vicerene, she worked “with heart and head for the welfare of the people.” ‘They also emphasize her benevolent solicitude for the humbler classes, and attribute much of Lord Curzon’s suc- cess in India to her. ‘We are the only thoroughly experienced and tho only prae tically competent Colored Underiakers in the city.

New York.—Speculation is rife as to whether Alfred Beit, the South African financier and millionaire who died in London, Monday, left a widow, was aroused, Wednesday, by the dis- covery that in making an application to an American insurance company for insurance on his life, in 1890, Mr. Beit named as the beneficiary of his policy “My intended wife, Blizabeth Bennett Beit.” Whether this stated intention of marriage was ever carried out was not stated in the statistics furnished to the insurance company, which showed that at the time he submitted to-a physical examination before receiving his policies Mr. Beit was unmarried. Although 16 years have elapsed since the policies were taken out in favor of Elizabeth Bennett, and during that time Beit has been constantly brought to public notice, yet ne has always been regarded as a bachelor.

There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D.

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 dispense 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 orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW.

Fewer Pupils in Missouri. According to the returns in the office of the state superintendent of public schools, there will be a decrease in the enumeration of school children this year of about 3,500. Eight counties show considerable increase. They are as follows: Buchanan, 4,157 Cape Girardeau, 498; Greene, 347; Jackson, 240; Jasper, 1,230; St. Francis, 549; St. Louis, 725; Scott, 339. Total, 8,085. Twenty-eight counties show a decrease of 200 or more each. They are as follows: Adair, 503; Audrian, 424; Barton, 215; Bates, 385; Caldwell, 215; Callaway, 270; Cass, 374; Cedar, 212; Chariton, 241; Daviess, 305; Franklin, 366; Grundy, 354; Harrison, 381; Henry, 263; Howard, 207; Johnson, 358; Lafayette, 241; Lewis, 297; Livingston, 242; McDonald, 257; Macon, 325; Miller, 210; Pike, 277; Polk, 240; Putnam, 206; Ray, 251; Saline, 301; Wayne, 249. Total, 8,169. Fifteen counties have not yet reported their enumeration to the state superintendent. The following 16 counties show a slight increase: Camden, Cole Howell, Iron, Marys, Marion, Ozark, Pemiscot, Phelps, Pulaski, Rails, Randolph, Reynolds, St. Genevieve, Shannon, Stone. The other 47 counties show a slight decrease. "Peek-a-Boo" Waists Barred. The following official warning is published in the Church Herald of Macon for the guidance of those attending the feast of the tabernacles at College Mound, Macon county, August 2 to 12: "Please do not let any young ladies come to the camp meeting with arms and necks exposed by thin sleeves and waists. It seems immodest and unbecoming enough to wear such garments at home, where no one sees you but your father and brothers." Jewelry of all sorts has long since been barred by the Holiness people, but this is their first proclamation against "peek-a-boo" shirt waists and arm exposure. Drew a Farm and Was Caught. Drew a Farm and Was Caught. Carl Wallace, formerly city collector of Paris, who disappeared three weeks ago and was accused of defaulting, was captured at Great Falls, Mont. He drew a farm in the allotment of the Crow reservation and was found by the publication of his name. Wallace is 27 years old. His alleged shortage was $468, which has been paid by his bondsmen. The sheriff will return with his prisoner Monday and 20 young men of this place have already made preparations to furnish the bond required, which is $1,000. State Fair Dates Clash. The Missouri and Illinois state fairs are to be held this year during the same week and a great rivalry is now on between the managers of the two enterprises for live stock exhibits, many of the best stockmen in the country desiring to show at both places. Since the Kansas City stock show is to come off the week following the Missouri state fair it is thought that most of the really fine exhibits can be brought to Missouri. Monett Women as Detectives. A summer boarder at Monett stole some rings belonging to two ladies who lived at the same place. The women determined to do some detective work on their own account and, when the man left town, followed him to Baxter Springs, Kan., where they arrested him and returned to Monett with the prisoner handcuffed to themselves They recovered their rings and the summer boarder now languishes. Snes For the Interest. W. W. Watkins, state supervisor of building and loan associations, and receiver of the National Bond company, of St. Louis, has instituted suit in the Cole county court court against State Treasurer J. F. Gmelich for interest on the $100,000 of bonds held by the state treasure as a deposit for the protection of Missouri investors in the bond company. Work for Pure Food Bill. The mineral well at Triplett contains sodium chloride, calcium sulphate, magnesium chloride, calcium carbonate, calcium chloride and silica. At first glance it looks as if the pure food bill would put an everlasting stop to that well. A Plucky Child. A seven-year-old girl was trying to draw a pail of water from a well in Sarcoxie when the pail jerked her into the well instead. She hung on the chain and descended 30 feet to the water, but was rescued uninjured. Neighbors Died the Same Day. Wesley Banta, 65 years old, and Eph Nelson, 60 years old, farmers, died at their homes in Bates county recently. Banta and Nelson were neighbors living on adjoining farms, and both died about the same time of day. A Parasol Caused Her Death. Mrs. Kezziah Merryman, of Laredo, was killed in a runaway near there recently. The team was frightened when she raised a parasol. The vehicle was turned over and she was thrown against a barbed w fence. A Convict an Artist . A convict in the state penitentiary painted a picture which has been hung in the warden's office. It is called "Satan's Allies" and represents a gambler's table with drinks and gambling outfit. State Insurance Report. The annual report of State Superintendent of Insurance W. D. Vandiver has been received from the printer, and will be distributed as rapidly as possible. During the general upheaval in life insurance matters last year, Superintendent Vandiver became an important figure, owing to the drastic measures he employed in bringing some of the big New York companies to time in respect to the laws of Missouri. The report shows that in spite of the disclosures that blackened the record of many of the companies in 1905, the insurance business, as a whole, in Missouri, was greater in volume than ever before. Exclusive of fraternal insurance, the total premiums paid for life insurance in Missouri during the past year was $15,268,222.41. During the same year the companies paid policyholders a total of $4,977,772.65. This left a balance of $10,290,449.76. The fire companies also made a handsome profit on the business they wrote in Missouri last year. Exclusive of county mutual, regular mutual, and town mutual insurance companies, the total premiums paid for fire insurance footed up $8,525,730.69. The total paid to Missouri policyholders by these companies during the year amounted to $3,491,463.46, leaving a balance of $5,034,267.23 in favor of the companies. Summing up the total insurance business of Missouri for the year 1905, Superintendent Vandiver says that the total premiums paid by citizens of the state for all classes and kinds of insurance protection during the year amounted to $30,530,302.18, and the total amount paid policyholders during the same time by all classes of companies footed up $12,934,698.33, leaving a difference in favor of the companies of $17,601,609.85. Butler to Have Natural Gas. At a special meeting of the city council of Butler a 20-year natural gas franchise was granted to Beckner & Martin, of Nevada. They have commenced drilling near the city limits and are down 400 feet. They passed through some gas sand, but if sufficient gas is not found at a depth of 1,000 feet they will sink another hole within five miles of the city. They propose to furnish it for domestic purposes, at a price not to exceed 25 cents per 1,000 cubic feet; schools, churches and hotels, 15 cents per 1,000; manufacturing concerns not to exceed six cents per 1,000; free for lighting and heating city buildings. They gave indemnity bonds in the sum of $5,000. Timothy in Baby's Throat. Timothy in Baby's Throat. Some weeks ago a baby in Butler was afflicted with a coughing spell. A doctor was called in and he pronounced the case acute whooping cough. He administered treatment for the same. The child gradually grew worse, refusing to eat and becoming emaciated from its fast. Another doctor called in consultation suspected that the child had something in its throat and ordered that when it had another coughing spell to hold it by its feet with its head downward. This was done and the child coughed up a head of timothy $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches long. From that time the child recovered rapidly. To Build Kansas City Depot. A charter has been issued to the Kansas City Terminal Railway company by John M. Swanger, secretary of state, in Jefferson City. The corporation is to build Kansas City's new Union passenger station and construct and operate all the subsidiary ramifications of the project. A fee of $15,029.50 was paid the state for the charter. The corporation is to continue 999 years and the capital stock is $30,000,000 divided in 300,000 shares of the par value of $100. Took 200 million to nominate. Nineteen delegates, representing the democrats of the Fourteenth senatorial district, met at Boonville and for three days tried to nominate a candidate for senator. More than 2,500 ballots were taken before a nomination was reached. The deadlock was finally broken by the selection of Samuel C. Major, who secured 12 votes, ten only being necessary to nominate. A. Kirksville Stay-at-Home. Jacob Cross, of Kirksville, has not crossed the confines of Adair county in 40 years. During all that time he has been engaged in business at Kirksville and has been outside the corporate limits only once in the 40 years. A Test of Friendship. One way to test your admiration for people, says a Missouri sage, is to watch them eating corn off the cob. Nodaway Claims the Palm. Nodaway county claims to furnish more cattle and hogs to the markets than any other county in the state. But this is not all. The claim is also made that those furnished are of superior quality, more higher grade stuff being sold than is furnished by any other single county in the state. Board of Health Appointees. Gov. Folk has appointed Dr. J. A. B. Adcock, of Warrensburg, and Dr. A. H. Hammel, of De Soto, members of the state board of health for four years from July 1, 1906. A. F. and A.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publi- cation. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 69 To The Public. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person firm or corporation, which may appear in the colums of The Palladium will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored. We are not responsible for the return of unsolicited contributions on any subject. Churches and others having news or notices will please have the same in the office by Wednesday to insure publication in the week's issue. Five cents per line for each insertion.

In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. The police board has made a good selection in putting on the Colored officers. Cooper, Logan, Crawford and Wilkerson are doing good work, and we look to them to drive out this worthless class of Negroes who have no visible means of living, only to keep from paying funeral expenses. The idle brain is the devil's workshop, therefore, this class of Negroes ought to be driven out of St. Louis. There is a class of Negroes who have not done a day's work in years. Yet these Negroes can always be seen hanging around where girls are at work, taking up their time, when they ought to be at work. Business men who employ men or women can not afford to pay them for three hours a day taken up in talking to some girl, man or boy during working hours. The way to stop this is for the special officers to find out who these men are, and what they do for a living.

ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES. The financial experience meeting held by Antioch Missionary Circle Wednesday, the 11th, was quite a success, spiritually and financially. The amount earned by the mission workers was $8.85. God is at the head of the helm, and that mean's success. Antioch church enjoyed a two days' spiritual meeting this week, conducted by Rev. Dr. N. H. Baynes, D. D., under the auspices of the Baptist Ministers' Union of this city. Rev. S. A. Love, moderator; Rev. David Johnson, secretary. The meetings were a success, and much enjoyed by all. While Dr. Baynes attended to the spiritual needs of the people, the missionary sisters looked after them otherwise, and, seemingly, to the satisfaction of all. Sisters Emma Benson and America Scott, members of Antioch, are quite sick at this writing. Brother Shadrack Alexander, an old member of Antioch Baptist church, who had been sick for several years, departed this life Thursday, the 12th, and was buried Saturday, the 14th. Rev. J. W. Powell, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, a lifelong friend of the deceased, assisted Rev. S. P. Anderson at the funeral services. He leaves a daughter, one son, a son-in-law and many friends to mourn his loss. When $1.00 is Punched you will get One 5c Sandwich FREE. Yours, C. A. BROWN, President.

We will give an illustration of a capital contrivance that may be constructed in the corner of any bedroom, and forms an excellent substitute for a wardrobe. Very little outlay will purchase the materials to make it with, and it is easily removed and taken down when not required. A convenient height for the roof of the "cupboard" is about seven feet from the floor, and for the length of the supports of the roof (A and B in A B A CORNER CUPBOARD. the small sketch), about two feet, but it can, of course, be made in any dimensions to suit our requirements. The roof is constructed of a triangle of wood cut to fit the corner, and this is supported by means of two pieces of wood about $1\frac{1}{2}$ inch in thickness, nailed to the wall, and running along either side underneath. An ornamental edging is shown in the sketch, and though not necessary, greatly improves the appearance of the cup- To Possess An New Fad Corrects the Voice by a Diet of Fruits—Certain Ones-Specially Good. The cultivation of a pretty speaking voice is a practice growing among women in this country. One physician in New York who makes a specialty of treating the voice is putting his patients who have this end in view on a diet of fruits which have a very soothing effect upon the throat and vocal chords. Much of the unpleasant quality noted in women's voices in and about New York is due to the effect of the dampness of the climate. One of the most valuable of fruits for this purpose is the pineapple, now Regard The Color Of Your Eyes The Color of Your Eyes Heightened or Weakened According to Color in Dress. Blue-eyed women should wear something blue at the throat; and women whose eyes are not quite blue enough should make them bluer by turquoise earrings and all things turquoise next the face and eyes, declared a lecturer addressing an audience of women on the subject of eyes. "If your eyes don't show up, just put a little blue in juxtaposition to them," he said in one of his lectures, 'and note how big and how blue they will look.' "He taught the brown-eyed women to bring out the red lights in the eyes. He made them dress in golden brown and wear jewels that were on the golden order or that showed the dull browns that can be found in the semi-precious gems. He made them wear Indian trinkets and he kept at them Lake Fish Bed Unless strong measures are taken by the governments of the United States and Canada, the perch and whitefish of the lower lakes seem doomed nearly to extinction. The fishermen in the Detroit and St. Clair rivers and Lake St. Clair, where they have been abundant, complain that they are fast disappearing. The great demand for perch and whitefish has --- board, and adds very little to its cost. After the roof has been placed in position, one or two long thin sharp nails should be driven through it into the supports to hold it firmly in its place. Between the two outer ends of the supports a brass rail is fixed for the curtain, which, by the way, may be made of one piece of material large enough to pull right across, or two pieces divided in the middle to draw back on either side, and it will be found well worth while to spend a little extra trouble in making the two curtains, as they look better than the one, and are also of greater service for keeping the dust out of the interior. The curtains are attached to the brass rod in the ordinary way with brass rings, and if a small flounce is nailed to the edge of the roof at the point marked "D," and allowed to hang down a few inches it will prevent the dust entering at the top of curtains, and at the same time in no way interfere with them from pulling backwards and forwards freely. The interior is fitted up with two rows of four pegs fixed to the wall two or three inches below the roof, in order that they can be used for hanging clothes on as well as hats. The pegs may be put up in two different ways; either by nailing a board to the wall and then screwing on the pegs, or the board may have the pegs screwed into it, and then be suspended from the wall by means of two rings (similar to those used for hanging pictures), and strong nails driven through them. This, perhaps, is the better way if we contemplate removing the cupboard from time to time, as the board with the pegs then merely requires lifting from the nails. All the woodkork can be painted or stained, and if a pretty piece of material is chosen for the curtains to match, perhaps, the color of the wall paper, it will make a both ornamental and useful addition to a room. On the top of the cupboard plenty of space will be found for a pot with a pretty fern in it, and other ornaments such as vases or plaques. in its most perfect condition. For tonsilitis and quinzy the fresh fruit or even the canned variety is prescribed. Tomatoes are thought to help in giving a smooth, mellow voice. One or two a day should be eaten raw. Oranges, limes and lemons are also effective in rendering a hoarse, piping voice soft and flexible. At Ease. Every woman knows that the consciousness of being ill dressed has a distinct effect on her expression and manner. On the other hand, the feeling that one is well and tastefully dressed imparts a cheerfulness to the spirits that finds clear expression in the looks. until there was a melting light in each brown eye. "The black-eyed women were more difficult, for the reason that they looked like gypsies when he tried to bring out their eyes. Here he struck a betwixt and between course and THE GIRL WITH LONG EYES. dressed them in deep blue with grand results.

She catches your eye and holds it, though you cannot tell why. naturally resulted in their depletion to some extent. But the millions of carp, suckers and mullets are their worst enemies. They devour great quantities of the roe and countless minnows. The government hatcheries are unequal to the task of keeping the lakes stocked with these two kinds of fish, chiefly because it is yearly becoming more difficult to find them during the spawning season. A toy engine can be easily made from old implements which can be found in nearly every house. The cylinder, A, Fig 1, is an old bicycle pump, cut in half. The steam chest, D, is part of the piston tube of the same pump, in the other parts being used for the bearing, B, and the crank bearing, C. The flywheel, Q, can be any small sized iron wheel; either an old sewing-machine wheel, pulley wheel, or anything available. We used B H C M N L O G K F A E S R D Fig. 1 VALVE MOTION AND CONSTRUCTION OF PISTON. a wheel from an old high chair for our engine, explains the correspondent of Popular Mechanics. If the bore in the wheel is too large for the shaft it may be bushed with a piece of hard wood. The shaft is made of heavy steel wire, the size of the hole in the bearing, B. The base is made of wood, and has two wood blocks, H. and K, % inch thick, to support bearing B, and valve crank, S, which is made of tin. The hose, E, connects to the boiler, which will be described later. The clips, F F, are soldered to the cylinder, and nailed to the base, and the bearing, B, is fastened by staples. The valve motion is shown in Flgs. 2 and 3. In Fig. 2 the steam is enter- ING the cylinder, and in Fig. 3 the valve, B, has closed the steam inlet, and opened the exhaust, thus allowing the steam in the cylinder to escape. THE VALVE MOTION. The piston is made of a stove bolt, E, Fig. 2, with two washers, F F, and a cylindrical piece of hard wood, G. This is wound with soft string, as shown in Fig. 3, and saturated with thick oil. A slot is cut in the rod, H. The valve, B, is made of an old bicycle spoke, C, with the nut cut in half and filed down as shown, the space between the two halves being filled with string, and oiled. The valve crank, S, Fig. 1, is cut out of tin, or galvanized iron, and is moved by a small crank on the shaft. This ENGINE IN OPERATION. crank should be at right angles to the main crank.

If there is any truth in the statement of the small boy whose speech is reported in the Washington Star, the political situation in some parts of our country needs looking into. The history class in one of the public schools of the city had just concluded a recitation the other day, when the teacher took advantage of a few spare minutes to test the knowledge of her pupils concerning the form of the district government. In whom is the governing power of this city vested?" was the first question. Silence relied for a moment. Then little Tommy's hand went up, and to the teacher's "Well, Tommy?" the following answer was vouchsafed: "The governors of the district are three missionaries, two from civilized life, and one from the Injun corpse."

No doubt some of our boys and girls are expert golfers, but most of them have no opportunity to play the game because one must have regular links, and they are few and far between, owing to the great stretches of ground they must cover. However, you can all play clock golf, and get nearly as much fun out of it as others do from the more pretentious game. Your own lawn, or a neighbor's, will afford ample room. You need but one stick, a "putter," which you can buy for one dollar, or you can easily make one just as you make a "shinny" stick in the winter, or, better still, your old hockey club will be found just the thing. Get 12 pieces of cardboard about four inches square and number them from one to 12. Then get some heavy wires or slender sticks, sharpened on one end, and glue one of the cardboards to each. Get a larger cardboard, mark it center, fasten it to another stick and place it in the center of the plot of ground you are going to use. By this center post dig a hole deep and wide enough to contain a tin can without a top. Sink the can in the hole so that its rim is just level with the ground. Stick the other numbered cardboards in an uneven circle about the center and, making your circle as large as your ground will permit, build a little "tee" or pile of earth by each number, PLAYING CLOCK GOLF. and you are ready to play. Your ball should be the regulation golf ball. Place the ball on the tee by No. 1, and try to drive it into the hole in the center with one stroke. It is not at all likely that you will, but it will probably take you four or five. Then mark on a card the number of strokes you had to use, and go to the second tee, and so on until you have gone "all around the clock. Place the ball on the tee by No. 1, and try to drive it into the hole in the center with one stroke. It is not at all likely that you will, but it will probably take you four or five. Then mark on a card the number of strokes you had to use, and go to the second tee, and so on until you have gone "all around the clock." After a little practice, says Good Literature, you will be making almost every hole in two strokes, but it will be a long time before you can do it in "bogie," or the least number of strokes possible to the ordinary player. Some very fine players beat "bogie," which is usually placed at one stroke for every other hole, and two strokes for the remainder, or "around the clock" in eighteen strokes. You will improve your game almost every time you play, and you will find "clock golf" the best sort of practice for real golf. Clock golf is not to be despised by any means for lots of golf professionals play it a great deal, as it is the finest kind of training in putting. FLYING-FISH. Queer Creatures of the Sea Which Have Occupied the Attention of Scientists. Flying-fish must have been watched ever since the first mariners ventured upon the sea, and yet the question of the manner in which they perform their flights is apparently unsettled. Dr. Abel, of the Austrian geological survey, in a recent memoir on these fishes, maintains that the initial impetus by means of which they launch themselves is due to screw-like movements of the tail fin, and that the wings are survey, in a recent memoir on these fishes, maintains that the initial impetus by means of which they launch themselves is due to screw-like movements of the tail fin, and that the wings are in no sense propelling organs, but act simply as parachutes. On the other hand, says the Youth's Companion, it is maintained by other observers that the flight of flying-fishes is due to incessant and extremely rapid movements of their wing-like fins. It has been suggested that there may be differences in the manner of flight of different species of fish, and that consequently there may be truth in both views. Taken at His Word. A young motorist was endeavoring to convince a country inkeeper that the decay of coaching was more compensated by the spread of motoring as a pastime, says a writer in the St. James' Gazette. As a final argument, he stated that his car was of 40 horsepower, "the equal, sir, of ten relays of coach horses." The next morning he read in his bill: "To feeding and stabling, 80 shillings." He asked the landlord for and explanation. "The charge for 'osses, sir, is two shillings a head, sir,' was the reply. "And I've your word, sir, that that machine is the same as 40 'orses, sir, so it comes to 80 shillings." Oratory is merely talk with a frock coat on.

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. New Fruit of Value A new fruit that seems likely to prove of considerable value has been developed by the cultivation of the very familiar "maypop," a plant which is very familiar in the southern states, quite ornamental, easily grown from seeds and affords a handsome cover for arbors and verandas. It is known to botanists as passiflora incarnata. The fruit in its improved form is somewhat bigger than a hen's egg and decidedly palatable. It looks like a May apple. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

"It seems as though my back would break." Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, "bearing-down" pains, nervousness and no ambition for any task. Miss Maude Morris They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a diseased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the female organs to a healthy condition. "I have suffered with female troubles for over two years, suffering intense pain each month, my back ached until it seemed as though it would break, and I felt so weak all over that I did not find strength to attend to my work but had to stay in bed a large part of the first two or three days every month. I would have sleepless nights, had dreams ask for headaches. All this undermined my health. "We consulted an old family physician, who advised that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began taking it regularly and soon found that I could sleep and eat better than I had done for monk. I had not had any longer suffer from backache or pain."—Miss Maula Morris, Sec.

"I abused my stomach, my blood got out of order and then my face broke out with pimples and boils," says T. E. Robertson, of 197 Addison street, Washington, Pa. "This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad shape. After eating I would have to rest awhile or I would suffer the most severe pains in my stomach. On arising I would often be so dizzy that I could hardly stand up. The slightest exertion would start my back aching so that I often had to sit down and rest awhile. At times I experienced a pain around the heart which alarmed me but which I suppose came from my stomach trouble. "I began to break out on the face with pimples and later with boils which continued me to the house a week or more at a time. One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in a pamphlet which was left at the door and I thought I would give them a trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all the pimples and boils left me, but I am now glad to say that my blood is good. I do not have any eruptions and I no longer have the head and stomach troubles I have described. I am very grateful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me and I have recommended them and always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them."

A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only bolled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum."

It was now late in the year A. D. 29, or possibly early in 30. Jesus was probably still in Perca, though the exact locality is unknown. Jesus, in these teachings about prayer, repeats the several petitions of that prayer first given in his Sermon on the Mount. He doubtless found it necessary more than once to teach thus particularly on the all-important subject of earnest prayer, and also would naturally give a form of prayer; but the differences noticeable in the two reports—Matt. 6:9-13, and verses 2-4 before us—show that he placed no emphasis upon the exact words. He sought rather, by this model, to show in what spirit we should approach God and what petitions we may bring to him with assurance of being heard. Not yet did he teach the disciples to pray "in his name." That came later. At this date they could not have understood it. They needed first to learn to pray in a filial spirit, with and for others, and to continue praying if the answer were delaved. The Lord's Prayer.—We somewhat inappropriately style the prayer which Jesus taught "the Lord's Prayer." It is our prayer—the prayer for every child of God. "Its distinctive characteristics—the filial spirit and the fraternal spirit. The Lord's Prayer is thus nothing else than the summary of the law put into practice; and this summary so realized in the secrecy of the heart will naturally pass thence into the entire life."—Godet. "I used to think the Lord's Prayer was a short prayer; but as I live longer, and see more of life, I begin to believe there is no such thing as getting through it." Our Heavenly Father knows no favoritism; he is just as willing to answer the prayer of his humblest child as that of the most mature saint. But it is true that we need to be taught to pray. Now the same Teacher who taught the apostles and early disciples has been the Teacher of every one who has been "mighty in prayer" since their day. And he has not yet closed his school, nor ever turned away one willing to be a scholar. To him we too may come and with sincere hearts offer the prayer which is our Golden Text: "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus will not give us some magic formula, for saying prayers is not praying, but through his own words of teaching, such as we have to-day before us, and through practice drill, he will teach and train us, so that we too may be able to offer "the effectual, fervent prayer" which "availeth much." Jesus' example, as well as his words, taught those who were associated with him that it is man's high privilege to pray to the great God. At one time they asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray." In replying he taught that we may come to God as loving children to a kind father, and that we may pray for others as well as ourselves. Our first petitions should be for the honoring of our Father's name, the coming of Christ's kingdom, and the accomplishment of God's blessed will among men. The Dead-Prayer Office.—What becomes of all the unanswered letters? Thousands of them find their way to the dead letter office. Some never reach the person to whom they are addressed, because of the postage not being paid; some fall because they are directed to the wrong office; some cannot be sent because the address is illegible; and some because the matter included is illegible. These float through the mails, are examined at different offices, marked "Missent," and finally they fall into the dead letter office. There they are opened and read, and if valuable, are forwarded; if not, they are given to the flames. Such is the accuracy and skill of the post office department, that very few fail to reach their destination. Some prayers never reach God because they are not addressed to his office. They are directed to the audience. God's office is not in our neighbor's care, and if we direct our prayers to that point, they will certainly go to the dead letter office. Each of the reasons why letters go astray will hold good of unanswered prayers.—Advocate. V. 1. Only under the tuition of a divine teacher can we learn to pray aright.—Rom. 8:26. (Rev. Ver.) V. 2.
