The Appeal

MOSE, A FIGHTING SKUNK MOSE, A FIGHTING SKUNK COURAGEOUS ANIMAL THAT ARGUSED THE PRIDE OF SOME WISCONSIN MEN DEFEAT WAS NEVER KNOWN Brought Discomfiture to His Owners and Backers because He Couldn't Understand a Little Joke. "Take it together. I think the most remarkable attitude I ever wore sinn ever produced." said the man from Appleton, "was Jim Patterson's pet little shanty on the outside of Appleton and, although for a long time the people were content to have them live their popular pride in Mose's achievements became so strong that Mose and his owner didn't drink runoff from a property. Jim did pretty well in that line until his faith in Mose was weak and then he went to pieces through grief." "I think I never saw so quick and so complete a breakdown as that of Jim Lowe and such enormous proportions that they swelled up and burst. In the wreck Jim was caught down and drink soon ended him. Every kind of domesticated animal nearly every kind of domesticated animal had also been shaken and shaken town pride over Moe were ready to back him against pretty nearly any kind of domesticated animal and had lugged it home ready to do this when we heard that he had killed a rattlesnake one morning in his mouth for a coddled that skunk like a kitten and the rest of us were almost ready to die." . "Mose wasn't his name at first. Jim called him Corbett until after that little affair in Carson City, and then he beaten by a mob. He was necessary to call him Jeff and then Jim just quit. He said he would probably have to change the skunk's name in a way, two again, and from all he had heard of Moses, he had to be Moses. Mose would do as well as any other. He was sure that Moses had been dead a long time and had done things such as to have Moses be held to be Moses with no change in the name. It turned out to be a good name, too, or, although Mose was permitted to be promised land of fame, he never entered. "Mose sneaked into Jim's cabin one night when Mose was young and stole a piece of meat. He was caught in a trap and taken to the police, such an extent that Jim took a lifelong to him and kept him to take him. Gradually they came to know each other. Jim was a good friend and abused his confidence. He where he got his meals regularly. He protected Jim's cabin to such an extent that in the mind that, his record had been such that whenever there was a robber nearby there was always a suggestion that he should be to search Jim Patterson's cabin or yard of goods. They tried that once after Mose became thoroughly established there and that there never was another attempt. Jim began to lead a more comfortable life at once and finally used to bring him when he came to town. He made him a dress for fighting qualities and won them right and left. Whenever any of us got word from Jim that he would be at a certain age to certain hour with Mose and ready to fight, Jim would ways a round-up of the sports. The saloonkeeper made money, Jim made money and got drunk; Mose always had a drink and was always in addition had some choice bits of food, and the rest of us had some fun. It was the most natural thing in the world that Jim took to the fight in Mose we took Jim on sufferings. "Mose first licked an impudent fox terrier, as slick as grease, and he then one night he tacked the best cat in town. Then one night he tacked the best cat in town. That cat's friends relatives knew that no more. Then Mose, the cat, came off a little scared the town. Mose came off a little scared the town. After that courage was unimindited. After that get up fights with animals, dogs out of town. They failed us. He had no quality, however, that we didn't understand thoroughly, and that was the undoing of Mose. Mose had an opponent in instant after the opponent was dead. He never would touch any animal he had killed. He would have to be careful. Mose licked him, now give him burial." We came to love Mose more for this quality. "Mose had licked everything we could find in or near Appleton and it wasugging animals. Some suggested, a porcupine, but Jim kicked and said it would be well to try him first on some easier game. It was ugging animals. The dog badger trick was being tried with lots of fun in the West. You know about that the best game we could be invited to be the dog badger which was kept in a barrel. A crowd would meet with much secrecy in a se "Vast sums would be wagered as to the ability of the fighting dog to lick the badger that was in the back. Finally the fairness of the referee selected, then the stranger upon whom the trick was being worked would be selected as referee. The fairness of the string to release the badger. He would generally drag out a dead kitten or a dead rat when he pulled the string, and then all hands would have a drink at the stranger's expense. "Jim agreed to use Mose one night in playing the badger game on a young fox town and was always talking about the big things he had seen in the way of fighting. We knew that he was a young fox and so to the young fox's surprise even Jim said he would bet that Mose would be licked in a battle with a badger. He declared that Mose had never fought with any old man." "The Eastern man, whose name might be Jenkins, if his real name wasn't such, would have been the local pride. In Mose and had seen Mose make a couple of dogs look cheaper than he and said he would bet a clean $100 that Mose would win. That looked like picking up money for us in the store. And said he would take care first that Jenkins should have his money up. We had no difficulty in putting up one money for us, but not that sum was a THE APPEAL. fortune for Jin, but it was such a cinem that he risked every sent he had or could borrow. He might come on. We met in an old barn one Sunday morning. It was hard to keep a straight face. We knew we had the delicacy but we had no experience that Mose would turn away in disgust as soon as he saw it. Some of us felt as if we were committing robbery, it was hard to believe, as usual, about the referee. We couldn't agree on any one. It all wounded up by agreeing to accept Jenkins. He objected. He said he would not be able to do it. We said newer to mind that: any old rules would do. We had confidence that he would give us a fair deal even if he was not. We had confidence that Mose. We told him openly that we were sorry for him, but he said his confidence in Mose was undiminished and we had an attachment between Mose and Jim he would be willing to buy Mose. He wouldn't think of separating them, however, and so would just bet on Mose first, last and "We took Jim home tips. He began to peteter to peter. I don't suppose he had been a teacher. When he passed away we did everything we could for Mose, but he pined He had done the best he understand it all. He had done the best he understand it all. he loved lost heart. He reflected upon the cold and mysterious way of a cold and wet day. He reflected on the side of Jim. As I said, he was undoubtedly the most remarkable animal in the state of Wisconsin ever produced. SPEECHES THAT FELL FLAT. A Too Lavish Use of Quotations and Studies. Recompiled. I remember making an address in my own state, illustrated—as I thought by—a few apposite quotations. The audience listened attentively for more than two hours. I made substantially the same town in Maine, but I noticed that my hearers were restless and that a number of them left the wall. Next morning, while sitting on the porch of the village inn, I overheard two countrymen who met in front of me in front: “Was you to the meetin’ last night, Neighbor Jenkins?” asked the one of the other. “Years,” was the answer. “Did you hear the speaking?” “Years.” “How was it?” “Oh, what no account.” “Was most quotations.” The point of a story is often the signal for an outburst, and no one can deny the power of apposite illustration. The parables of the Bible and the stories of Lincoln have in them a pith and a point. We can learn from them another way. Yet many speakers are tempted, not to make the story the illustration of the speech, but to make the speech a more potpourri of stories. The man who does this may be amusing, but in the long run it will be a mistake. If he be unfamiliar with his audience he is likely to tread on somebody's toes without intending it. In the campaign when James D. Williams and Benjamin Harrison were opposing the governor of Indiana, we Republicans used to make great fun of "Blue Jeans," as we called him, ridiculing his rustic manners and his homewes ways. We didn't make much of the people of Indiana were mostly married, and had been elected and had made an honorable, respectable and sensible governor, our campaign jokes looked rather pitiful in retrospect. One night I spoke at a small neighborhood meeting, and repeated to my friend the following story which was going the rounds: Mr. Williams, who was then a member of congress, was one day washing his hands at one of the lavaries in the capitals. A hand handed him three towels. He sighed. "I need travagance, and exclaimed: 'Why, down at my farm I make a single towel last the whole family a week.'" This was a pretty poor story, but for all that I was astonished to see that there was a towel any of the faces before me; indeed, the man looked on even a deeper gloom. On my way home, as we drove through the woods, my companion said to me: "You didn't make a great hit with your skirt about 'Blue Jeans' family towel." "No," he replied. "Do you know why?" "Do you know why?" "No." "I'll tell you. There wasn't a farmer in that crowd that didn't done the same thing himself!" - William D. Faulke in the Forum. A Honeymaker.

And a weird story concerning the appariations that appear upon the premises is in city-city, so firm is the belief of many in the story that the owners of the property have failed for the last ten years to secure tenants for the old building. The house stands some distance from the road in a grove of ancient oak trees. Its windows and doors are gone and these windows are still intact. Its man's body to pass through. At the end where the old-fashioned fireplace once stood the logs have rotted away, leaving a ragged opening through which a man by bending low in his saddle, might ride, through the scene of a ghastly shooting affray in which a son killed his father. The crime was committed during the fall of 1870. The perpetrator was George House, the John Nacey, publisher of the house. It seemed that House had a hard drinker, and when under the influence of liquor was in the habit of absorption, no heartily seized the actions of his insolent, harsh treatment of his mother, and had threatened on several occasions to put a stop to it.

At the same time the strange intrusion of the young man resulted in revealing to the lovers one of the richest gold mines ever discovered.

Just after the Yaquil war broke out, it is related by the Chicago Tribune, --- George to put the horses in the barn. Afterwards he went into the house, carrying some parcels he had brought out from the barn, and came from the barn just in time to see his mother run through the front doorway, screaming for help. She was pursued by her drunken husband, who vowed to kill her. Intent. All this was made apparent to George by the light that streamed through the open doorway. He hurried his back stairs to his mother, the shoutgun from the pegs about his bed and hastened the rescue of his mother. He naused upon the threshold of the front door to listen. Beyond the light cast by the sitting room, he grabbed the shoutgun from which way his mother had fled, therefore, he was at a loss to know what to do. A sudden flash of lightning, however, revealed to him the figure of his father, standing near the doorway away. He fired instantly and was apprised of the result by hearing a horrice cry of pain and the sound of a heavy body striking the turf. The next instant a second flash of lightning struck him, and the great trunk of the great elm and struck the ground near where John Nacey had fallen and probably completed the work the son had begun, for at the distance already the horse had shot him for a charge of small shot to kill a man.

As soon as they went on the warpath they were transformed into monsters of foolish creativity. McMurray stood a few words of their language, and before they had traveled for he learned that they had murdered several people during the raid, and he became pretty sure that they were special grievance to satisfy in making a prisoner of the young woman. They seemed to have entertained a grudge against Co. Loraine, and knowing that they often in company with his daughter they often used the objects of their spite and hatred. Upon reaching a village in the mountains, where they met an old war chief by the name of Boos, the prisoners were dismounted and tied to posts. The villagers about them laughing and murmuring threats. The spells that had been stolen on the raid were thrown in a great heat almost within reach or the carvings among these things Miss Alma noiced. She was a girl, and it at the time, and never dreaming that it was soon to play such an important part in her strange adventure. Boos extended a warm welcome to the young chief who had led the war party, and he listened attentively to the story of the raid as monster of creepy made a long, detailed detailing every feature and circumstance of his foray, not forgetting to boast of his own progress.

All of them instantly began to sing in wordless chorus. Boca told the old chief then unbound the canvets with his own hands, and, after stripping their shoes from their feet, he bound them together by putting a chain about their waists. Speaking in Spanish he said to them in hypothetical tones, with a smirk on his face, he said, "The terror that was undoubtedly depicted in their countenances: "You must go through the fire. If you are good the flames will not burn your hair, but if you are not, you may perish. Be brave like a Yaquil and mayish. Fire will not burn white squaw, Babe." The poor trembling captives did "sabé" only too well, for they saw hundreds of squaws and children coming from the woods with bundles of fagus in their hands. They were about two feet apart and plied four or five feet high. The rows were for forty yards long. A glance satisfied the prisoners of the horrible intentions of the woodsmen, and doomed to meet a horrible death. The merciless chief had hardly ceased speaking when the two rows of dry fagus were lighted at different places and the leopard toward the top of the trees. Boca seized the trembling girl by the arm and dragged her to her feet. The miserable wretch was laughing at her terror when she burst forth as if inspired and began to sing "Home, Sweet Home." The countenance of the red devil changed at once. He released his hold on her arm and stood gazing into the sweet pleasing kiss that he were transfixed. Other Indians began to draw water and Alma sang as she had never sage befoe. 'Nor did any other mortal evering as she did,' says McArthur. 'The voice that she possessed on that awful night might have been cued by 'Helen or Pattl. It would insure her fortune on any stage in the world.' "And I think you sang a little yourself," says Miss Alma. One cannot listen to the strange story as told in simple language by this remarkably interesting girl without being able to understand just such another scene was ever witnessed by mortal eyes since the human family learned to make war. A Gill moon was above, in a cloudless sky, the flames tongues among the branches of the swaying pines, casting weird shadows over the earth, while the throng of red savages slowly gathered about the captives with their faces. The aged priest, with his long white locks streaming from beneath a crown of shamings, shaking his bony hand toward the amazed captives and striking the worshippers by interposing the authority of the Yaqub bodes between the trembling human victims and the altars of fire, added a feature to the horrible reality well known to have moved the emotions of an artist. The prisoners, though greatly comforted over the sudden change that had occurred in their favor, were hardly able to close their eyes, fearing that the Indians natures when they moved by their savage morning came they found that the power of the priest still prevailed. Boca sent to inquire about their health, and after they had eaten a little breakfast that was brought to them by the priest they were taken home and returned to their homes. The chief funeral food with two ponies and provided food for their journey. "I could hardly realize that we were at liberty," says Miss Alma, "and I was so overjoyed that I did not want to take the ponies. I thanked of gold nuggets that Eugene found in mountain stream.

MEDICAL NOTES. Neuralgia is literally a nerve pain, but such a pain as cannot be adequately described or even comprehended by one person, it darts upon the veltem like a lightning stroke, it courses through the affected nerve, like liquid fire, and then, in a matter of seconds, it no longer no greater agony can be endured, suddenly ceases, leaving only a dread of its recurrence, for a sudden onset, and perilous recurrence are the chief characteristics of neuralgia differentiating it from all other pain. The causes of neuralgia are many and often the most important, of a starving nerve for food, and of phosphorus is an especially acceptable nerve food it has been called the pleural gland. Such pain is evidently due to a stated system, worn out by care or work, or disease, so that it cannot support the nerve food, and wasting disease, like consumption which spend, more than they cause the nerves to protect painfully.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1901. The president of the Minnesota Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Lyda P. Williams, with a few of the 7,000 members of the organization, met at the beautiful home of Attorney F. L. McGhee in St. Paul, Tuesday, where a meeting of the Adelphia, the new Afro-American Women's Club, was called to discuss the advisability of applying for membership in the state federation. Mrs. Jennie Kemp, president of Adelphia, presided. It was a critical session. A really vital question was to be discussed. A matter of prejudice was to be scanned from the view point that all women are sisters. So the ladies were surcharged with diplomacy and earnestness. Mrs. Williams said: "You have raised an undeniable 'rumpus' in our ranks. Your fifty members have excited all the 7,000 women in our state federation." She asked that action be deferred until the meeting next October, of the state federation, which may, in turn, defer action until after the meeting of the national federation. Because, said she, the same question is to be decided by the national federation. A HIS PROPHECY. Bhe—Is that ice thick enough to support me? Owner of the Pond—I don't know.

If Minnesota should decide, it would be "like the firing on Fort Sumter." Six Southern states, cager to make a move, would fall upon the enemy. The entire fabric of American women's clubdom would probably be rent asunder. Surely the Adelphia had no ambition so anarchistic? According to the reports in the daily papers of St. Paul the appearance of the handsome parlors of the hostess, the stylish gowns of the ladies of the Adelphia, and the forceful, courteous, logical and eloquent language of the Adelphians came in the nature of a surprise both to the newspaper reporters and the white ladies present. Mrs. George C. Squires, president of the New Century Club, who was "astounded at the beautiful language and the beautiful sentiments of the Adelphia," said she'd be proud if her own club could do as well. Mrs. M. A. Porter, an Adelphian, said, "We are being shut out, undoubtedly, not because of constitutional points, but because we are Afro-American women. It is always the question of color. We thank you for the tributes to our leaders, especially to Prof. Booker Washington, but wherever we go we hear of Prof. Washington. Prof. Washington, we are told, is conservative. We must be conservative. But I want to say that Prof. Washington is in the Southland. We are in the North. The conditions are different. "We are now told, as I understand, that the answer must be deferred until after the meeting of the federation. Yet previously we were informed that we must wait till after the meeting of the executive committee." Mrs. Williams explained that the executive committee could take action or could refer the matter to the federation. Mrs. M. B. Lewis and Mrs. C. P. Noyes of the state federation advised the Adelphia to withhold their application. "Agitate, sisters, agitate," proclaimed Mrs. L. M. Turner to her associates of the Adelphia. "This is more than a club question. We should attack our Fort Sumter, and Minnesota should fire the first gun." She thought that if the Southern clubs really did secede they would come back speedily to their allegiance, for the Southern women were loyal at heart. A general discussion followed but A general discussion followed but no action was taken. The Adelphia THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Club meets next month in Minneapolis, and it will then decide whether or not it will ask for admission into the state federation. Should it decide to do so, the state federation at its meeting next October can grant or refuse the admission, or refuse to act upon it at all, leaving the decision to the national federation. So we will wait and see what will be done in the matter, though we have faith in its ultimate satisfactory termination. Gov. Chandler, of Georgia, is considerably torn up over the visit of the distinguished party of New Yorkers who visited the South this week to study the educational institutions of the Afro-Americans. He says: "The Negro colleges of the South don't need the aid of these Northern people very much. Do you know that you can stand on the dome of the capitol of Georgia and see more Negro colleges with endowments than you can white schools? We can attend to the education of the darkey in the South without the aid of these d--d Yankees, and give them the education they need most, too. "I don't believe in the higher education of the darkey. He should be taught the trades, but when he is taught the fine arts he gets educated above his caste and it makes him unhappy. I am opposed to putting Negroes in factories and offices. When you do that you will cause dissatisfaction between the races, and such things might lead to a race war." It seems very strange to us that some whites cannot get it through their heads that anything that is good for them is good for their Afro-American brothers. They cannot get too high an education, why is it that an Afro-American can? Gov. Chandler is right, however, in saying, "when he is taught the fine arts he gets educated above his caste and it makes him unhappy" Yes, it makes him unhappy, not because he has developed his God-given talents, but because his white brothers are so unchristian, so unjust, so blinded, so cursed by a hell-born, inconsistent color prejudice that they will not give them a fair show to exercise them. One-seventh of the population of the United States is Afro-American. ALL BORN IN THIS COUNTRY this is the only home they ever knew and there fore parents for six generations also. If they do not belong here, for God's sake who does? They wish to enjoy only the rights and privileges vouchsafed by the constitution of their country—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; they are making heroic struggles against the obstacles con- stantly piled in their pathway by their white brothers. II. as Gov. Chandler says, a race war-comes, who will be to blame, except just such men as Gov. Chandler? Where the Afro-American is given a fair, square show for his "white alley" he very frequently wins. This has been demonstrated many scores of times in the civil examinations, in oratorical contests, athletics, etc. And now comes the news that in the Grand Prix, an international open kilometer race (about 1,093 yards) held at Roubaix, France, Monday, Major Taylor, the American short distance champion, the wonder, finished first. There were thirty competitors in the event, including Grogna, the Belgian champion, who finished second. A rider named Dangla was third. The significance of the victory lies in the fact that Grogna has twice won the Grand Prix of Roubaix, in 1889 defeating Tomaselli, the Italian champion, and last year, Jacquelin, the French champion, and greatest of all European riders. This is the same man that the L. A. W. discriminated against some years ago. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTINCTION.

On examination at the hospital it was found that ten ribs had been broken and his right thigh fractured. Ex-Representative, White, of North Carolina, the only Afro-American who served in the Fifty-six congress, says in explaining why he will not go back to the United States to bring myself to live longer where he will be a man marked and persecuted for my color. The constitutional amendment in North Carolina is not aimed alone, at the illiterate and the poor, but at the framed to kill off the Afro-Americans who try to make something of themselves, those who try to enjoy the rights and privileges that our constitution is supposed to guarantee to all living citizens, regardless of color." At the Winston-Salem, N.C. Education Center, the four G. R. M. State superintendent of education Georgia, said the greatest trouble about education in the public schools of the South was the large waste of money in the employment of incompetent if not qualified teachers in the public schools.

"How did your horse Amsterdam com in yesterday in the sleighing race?" "Well um— the dam part came in all right."

Clement, of this city, pointed out the wonderful strides in Afro-American education and eulogized Booker T.

The young man, who wrote a reply to "The Society Young Men?" and who signs himself "The man who received the marble heart," should have sent his true name as an article, not for publication, but as an article of good faith. This accounts for the non-appearance of his article.

The young ladies in the cast were beautifully gowned and performed their parts excellently. All in all the play was a success. It was said in Washington that the President will socelebrate with John R. Marshall of this city, and not deputy sheriff of Cook county, to the position of first lieutenant in the regular army; he will be assigned to the Philippines. The record that Co. Marshall has with Cuba with the Eighth Regiment of Illinois Volunteers, in the late war with Spain, certainly entitled him to the honor which it said the President soon coined upon him. Afro-American troops of Chicago andinois will be delighted with the appointment. THE SOUTH SURPRISED. Chicago Bricklayers Refuse to Work With Afro-American at Jackson, Miss. Bricklayers from Chicago and other northern cities have tied up building operations on the new state house at Jackson, Miss., by striking because of the presence of Afro-American bricklayers on the work. Advices of the trouble were received by Chicago labor on the job, and they are said to be non-union men, while the northern men are union, but the trouble is due not so much to union ideas as to the color of the bricks. The sympathy of those men be discharged, and when the foreman refused to let them go the white men quit work. The incident created no little comment in Jackson, where it came as a new experience, and the sympathy of the Afro-American bricklayers was ignored before the work on the building can be carried on with any adequate force. Chicago labor leaders are at a loss to understand why the bricklayers should have based their refusal to work on the color line, as the bricklayers' union demands the against the admission of Afro-Americans to attention to the fact that at the last annual convention of the International Bricklayers and Stonemason's union held at Milwaukee there were two Afro-Americans present. There are the bricklayers, the Stonemasoners and Building Laborers' union, and the retary of the local Granite Cutters' union is an Afro-American named Foster, who is working on the postoffice building. The American Federation of Labor prohibits unions affiliated with the drawing the color line, and less than a year later the action of Labor went on record as appealing to the Afro-Americans to join unions. There is less and less of a disposition to draw the color line in unions in the New York section of the bricklayers at Jackson where a lively discussion in labor circles. Latest advices indicate that the Afro-Americans are still at *at* work on the building they cannot finish in the Afro-Americans are not to work on the building they cannot finish it in the stipulated time, as white workmen are not work in the high season in Jackson. OOD FELLOWS. Afro-American Odd Fellows of this city are being lined up for the grandest display ever known to the order in Illinois, the occasion being the cornerstone laying a mosh shall have the last second Sunday of May. An elaborate program is now being arranged. All Afro-American civic organizations in Chicago will soon be invited, as well as other distinguished of management and other distinguished Odd Fellows throughout the country. A GOOD BILL Representative John G. Jones' antlynching bill, introduced at the beginning of the year, favors recommended to the house by the judiciary committee, was called for first reading recently. Mr. Jones is the only Afro-American member of the Legislature and his bill followed that of any offence who shall be injured by the mosh that took place in the country about the first of the year. It provides that a prisoner accused of a crime or of any offence who shall be injured by the mosh that took place in the country in which it is committed and recover damages not to exceed $2,000. The death of a person by lynching shall lay the county liable to for damages for from $5,000 to $10,000. In the event of a mob taking a victim from one county to another and killing or torturing him, the county in which the act is committed may recover damages from the county from which the mob came, in addition to the damages the county may represental representatives. Representative Jones intends to bend all his energies toward securing the passage of his bill. Every fair-minded man in the present Legislature, regardless of politics, should give Mr. Jones' bill all necessities, and should once, and the barbarism of lynching should be finally stopped in Illinois. All praise to Mr. Jones in his efforts in behalf of good government. VALUABLE SAW PALMETTO. Southern "Sebra" Is Source of Various Commercial Profit After reading an article by W. T. French of Jacksonville, Fla., in a recent number of the Tradesman on the saw palmetto and its product, every appreciative tidewater southerner, the Carolinas 'round the coast of Louisiana, ought to feel like taking off his hat to the hitherto des fitted scrub. For, as French shows, it is a storehouse of good and useful things and a source of wealth to the section in which it grows. The fiber may be considered first, because it is the largest product of the saw palmetto. The fiber can be produced for half the cost of exselior, and is twice as good. For mattress making it is equal to hair or wool in comfort, costs much less, and lasts longer. Hair and mattress need so much care. Hattress mattresses retain disease germ; the fiber mattress does not. Hair and wool mattresses become infected with vermin; bedbugs cannot exist where there is saw palmetto fiber. This one consideration ought to make the fiber mattresses immensely popular. There is nothing in the world which a neat housewife despises so much as a bedbug, and one and all of them will no doubt welcome the bugles mattress.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Charles H. Tittman fiber is unsurpassed. It lasts a lifetime and retains its elasticity. As a packing for glass, brilc-a-brae, pottery, bricks, tile, earthenware, and similar breakable articles it is better than straw, corrugated paper, or corked paper; because it is stronger and more elastic; then, after it has been used as packing it can be sold as mattress filling or for other purposes. The fiber can be used with advantage as a substitute for hair in plastering. Lime does not injure but rather preserves it. Iron molders have found that the fiber makes an excellent large core. The cores are merely a few of the uses or the materials used in the molders are comparatively cheap. Five tons of green palmettio will make three tons of fiber, which is worth about $18 per ton in bales. From the fruit of the plant are extracted an excellent blus, a starch, tanning, alkali, a stomach, and an astringent. From the undeveloped flower stalk there is obtained a palm wine, the distillation making arrack. Exercise and Strict Dieting Are Sald to be Necessary. Fats, oils, starch and sugar are the principal carbonaceous foods that furnish us with animal heat, and also avoiduphis, which in excess is corpulence. It has been found that for the average person from fourteen to twenty ounces of carbonaceous food, together with the requisite amount of carbonaceous matter, according to the season, is sufficient. To keep up the normal health, says Janet Howen. When less is supplied, or in sickness, when food cannot be digested, the balance is withdrawn from the fatty accumulations under the skin. Therefore if one wishes to reduce one's weight—and most people can regulate their own—observe that the amount of carbonaceous food consumed during the day is less than from fourteen to twenty ounces, and that no article of food contains more than its due proportion of carbonaceous matter. For, carbonaceous foods do not contain the carbon dioxide in carbon. Fats and oils, having in no water, contain two and one-half times more carbon than starch and sugar, which are largely composed of water. If you have reached an average weight and wish to retain it apportion your food supply so that the fourteen to twenty ounces of carbonaceous matter (rice, buckwheat, oatmeal, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, pork and meat) is consumed daily, together with the proper proportion of nitrogenous food, five ounces of nitrogenous food be apportioned to twenty ounces of carbonaceous matter. A partial list of foods containing nitrogenous matter in large quantities is as follows: Cheese, beans, peas, lean meats, fish, green vegetables and fruit. A certain amount of exercise is always essential to health, and must be taken regularly. Legless Player in Box Wins Many Complicated Chess Games. Tudor Jenks, writing of "A Modern Magician" (Robert Houdin) in *St. Nicholas*, has this to say of a famous trick of one of Houdin's predecessors. This was the "Automaton Chessplayer" that had once set all Europe to guessing. Houdin explains this trick. The figure was a Turk, apparently too small to hold a man inside, and it played chess successfully against the best players in the world—being rarely beaten. But the whole figure was a mere deception. The figure once was a polish officer, a refugee who had lost his battle, and was therefore able to pack himself snugly into the hollow figure or into the chest upon which it sat. While the inside of the Turk's body was examined the officer was stowed in the box below; and he climbed up into the Turk when the box was inspected. Thus hidden, the officer played chess against Catherine of Russia while that empress was offering a capture. It is said the imperial player took, whereupon the mechanical Turk lost, mechanical temper and swept the board from the board! Afterward Catherine ordered the figure to be left in her palace. M. de Kempelen being thus forced to carry off the real player in a packing-box. The next day (proba- bly after the empress had tried in vain to discover the "missing link") Kempelon explained that the chessplayer required his own personal attention, and thus persuaded her to let it go! A circumstance that helped to fool the public was the fact that the Polish officer wore artificial legs while out of the figure. This chess automaton was once owned by Napoleon Bonaparte, came twice to this country, in 1854 was buried in Philadelphia. MODERN KITCHEN Although the kitchen plays such an important part in our daily life it is often, even in large establishments, the room which is most neglected. A most important thing is the range. A gas stove is a most useful article, and saves both time and trouble. Linoleum or cork carpet is the best covering for the floor, and this must be a good one, as it will get hard wear. A good roomy dresser with cupboards underneath and drawers for holding clothes, etc., should occupy one side of the kitchen. A marble shabu is made in the kitchen, a marble shabu can be fixed in the coolest part, and a mortar with a pestle attached will be found very useful. Another very useful thing is a drying rail for drying and airing the clothes; this can be raised and lowered by pulleys, and is quite out of the way of the cook's head. The model kitchen should have the walls tiled, but if this is not possible have a high dado of oilcloth with a pretty varnished paper above, representing tiles; blue and white always look cool and clean. A good clock should be in the kitchen, also a slate for writing down orders, plenty of books for hanging up things, and if there is not sitting room furniture, a table to be necessary; a table-over-toilet in the afternoon, and a shelf or small table for holding books, newspapers, work boxes, writing materials, etc. ST.
