The Appeal

ICE IN THE TROPICS. WRITER SAYS IT IS PLENTIFUL ON THE EQUATOR. Its Presence Simply a Question of the Operation of Natural Law—Both Snow and Ice Shrink and Expand as the Seasons Wane. It must be almost inconceivable, even to many people who have been to the equator, that within the sweltering barbarism of the tropics there are places where there is any quantity of ice and snow. Natural ice, moreover, and not the dirty apology for it which is manufactured, and regarded now as a necessity by the white people who are gradually crowding into the languid warm perennially filling the equatorial portions of the earth. Right on the equator there is both ice and snow covering wide districts, where, as on an English January midnight, the air bites heat and it is very cold." The law that as we ascend the air, we cool and degree for every hundred feet, holds good in the tropics as well as in temperate climates, and thus it is merely a question of the existence of sufficiently high land anywhere to insure the presence of both frost and snow. As a matter of fact, if we look at a spherical map of the earth, or a globe, the line where snow lies perpetually rises in a great curve, which begins at the sea level within the arctic circles and rises and rises over the equator to a height of between 13,000 and 14,000 feet. In the British Isles this line passes but a few hundred feet above the tops of the Scotch mountains, and it strikes the Alps about 7,000 feet above the sea. The Alps the Caucasus, the Pyrenees the Himalayas and the Carpathians always covered with ice and snow above certain heights and above certain latitudes; but in all these extra-tropical regions the snow and the ice shrink and expand as the seasons wax and wane, the snow of the arctic extending during the winters over wide areas in the temperate regions, while from the high mountains the snow fields invade the deep forests and the cultivated areas in the valleys every time the winter sets in. The occasional oscillation of the snow lines on the mountains, and in the winter spreading over the arctic snow and ice, have each of them facilitated effects upon the formation of temperate forests which affect the forests as well as the flowers that grow under them, for they are both covered up with snow, or frozen out, for many months in the year. It is on account of this circumstance that we get, in the great ranges north and south of the equator, what are termed Alpine florae, or plants, the welfare of which depends upon their being covered up in deep snow for the year, the weather having been adapted to it. At first sight we should perhaps expect that the snow and ice upon the mountains in the tropics should oscillate in the same way, but, as a matter of fact, it is perhaps the most marked characteristic of the sweltering tropics that they continue to swelter, without let or hindrance, throughout year and season being the marked by fits of heat and fits of equally hot rain.—E. E. S. Moore in Pearson's Magazine. AS TOLD BY A FRENCHMAN. Characteristic Distinction Between Youth and Age. Maitre Labori, the noted French advocate who defended the Humberts, is not remarkable in Paris so much for the eloquence as for the neatness and the polish of his speeches. An American journalist heard Labori in court one day. He says the advocate's address was full of grace, wit, tenderness. He quotes a passage relating to old age wherein Labori, with a smile, said: "Old age—we shall none of us quite understand that until we have attained to one of us, here is old. But the other day I visited my uncle, a very aged man. "What is it like, uncle, I said, to be old? "And my uncle answered: "It is like this: When one is young, one's polite attentions to women are taken for declarations of love; but when one is old, one's declarations of love are taken for polite attentions." Return. One time I went a-wandering around to my house on the trolley cars 'a' viewed the 'llectric lights'; I recalled that myself as handsome as I could, 'a' never mind the money if the thing is bright was good. I bought myself a guide book 'a' I did To take in all the places of historic interest; 'a' united all of the wondrous spots where I had been The best part of the journey was the get- ting home; I call to meet some man who turned their backs upon the farm. 'a' started for the city, led by fame's mystery away the dollars 'a' they said some day they'd buy A place out in the country where the for- mer made the dollars 'a' sweet music; where the flowers blossomed fair. Jes 'a' like they did when they were boys, without a thought of care. It turned out what the triumphs you may win. The best part of the journey is the get- ting home again. Return. Ireland is getting better. A great decrease has been noted in Ireland in the number of prisoners sent to penal servitude during recent years. In 1882 there were 471, in 1901 832 and in 1802 270. HOW TO HOLD YOUR FRIENDS. Live, Cheerful, Optimistic Qualities Needed to. Bind. Thorn. **Needed to:** Those who hold friends must cultivate qualities which are admired and which attract. If you are mean, stingy and self-noble will admire you. You must cultivate generosity and large-heartedness; you must be magnanimous and tolerant; you must have positive qualities; for a negative, shrinking, apologizing, round-about man is despised. You must cultivate courage and boldness, for a coward has few friends. You must believe in your own power. You must believe in you. You must look upward, and be hopeful, cheer and optimistic. No one will be attracted to a gloomy pessimist. The moment a man feels that you have a real, live interest in his welfare, and that you do not ask about his business, profession, book or article merely out of courtesy, you will get his attention and will interest him. You will tie him to you just in advance, and you will use himself for your interest in him. But if you are selfish and think of nothing but your own advancement; if you are wondering how you can use everybody to help you along; if you look upon every man or woman you are introduced to as so much more possible success capital; if you measure people by the amount of business they can make, by the number of new clients, patients or readers of your book they can secure for you, they will look upon you in the same way.—Success. HE KNEW THE PLACE. Grim Man Had Just Left Ideal Spot for Reformers. The long-haired young reformers were holding an informal debate, and when they had agreed that the world was just about as corrupt and bad a place as it well could be, a grim-faced man arose. "What you seem to want, friends," he said, "is a place where everyone has to be good by law." "What you heard!" chironed the reformers. "What smoking aint allowed, and such a thing as drink is unknown? Where no one need worry about food and raiment, and where money does not exist?" "We do!" "Where everyone has to go to church on Sundays, and everyone keeps regular hours?" "That is just what we do want. Oh, to find such a place!" said a soulful young fellow, speaking for the others. "Well, Ive just come from such a place. You have!" cried the soulful one. "Oh, tell us, tell us, man of wonderful experience, where it is, that we may also go!" "It's a place called prison!" said the grim man. Cold Comfort for Travelers Ex-President Cleveland used to fish and hunt a good deal in the Barnegat Bay district. John Camburn, a Waretown guide, says that one cold, wet night Mr. Cleveland got lost. He wandered through the mud and rain and darkness for more than two hours, and not a house could be seen, not a light, not a road. Finally, though, he struck a narrow lane and due course a house appeared. Cleveland was cold and tired; he thought he would go no further. So he banged at the door till a window on the second floor went up and a graff voice said: "Who are you?" "A friend," said Mr. Cleveland, meekly. "What do you want?" "To stay here all night." "Stay there, then." And he descended with a brawn and Mr. Cleveland, shouldering his gun again, resumed his journey wearily. How little we think, my brother, never knew that windows fall over the light of day As it fades away We were peeled away, That the day has gone forever With the sun shining on the west, And the hands of Of a hundred lands Are one day nearer to us. But a fleeting time to tarry That will down life's way, So put all your might In the light of light. For now is the time to today. There's sunshine in the night, There's clouds in the clouds, If only you keep a courage true, Though dire misfortune crowds. It's hope that will broom away His ever work, till you through His ever work, And a grim resolve to do; The living present is with you, You will prostrate and you challenge fate- Surely you will be Harry S. Chester, Eikhart, Ind. What the Cook Left. A party of Philadelphia business men were relating their experience with cooks, when one of them said he knew a man in a neighboring city who, after keeping a cook for week, the a tour of impressions night "below stairs." There he found a policeman locked up in the pantry. How did that man get there? asked the gentleman, severely. "I'm sure I don't know," was the cool reply; "he must have been left over by the last cook." Walked for Union Card. Harry Estridge, a machinist from Washington Del, found himself in Atlanta, Ga., without his union card, although he was on the Delaware union in good standing. For this reason, he was worked, in the city and walked back to Delaware, where he procured the necessary paper and will return south to follow his occupation. --- THE APPEAL. Turniture to meet the Wants of BABY Nursery chair with pocket for picture book Nursery wash stand Baby Tender Bless babies, the little one of to-day, with not only toys of undreamed variety and charm and garments of scientific cut and esthetic fascinations but with household furniture designed to meet the precise idiosyncrasies of baby habits, and built to fit wee arms, their little legs and tiny torsos. Mamma has her boudou with its delicate draperies to satisfy her feminine fobiles. Papa has his smoking room, with pipes and pillows, to enhance the joys of after dinner cigars. And baby has his nursery and its fairy furnishings to minister to the luxury of his playday life. He has a minute Morris chair, which goes up and down to suit his mental and bodily inclinations; a "jumper," which is a rocker swinging in a frame, with a tray for toys and adjustable back and front; a "tender," which takes him how to walk and takes care of him while mamma and nurse are busy; a desk with revolving and adjustable back and front; a correspondence; a title card that fold under so that it can be put away into a small space, when he is done with it; a wickerwork rocker of his own, a basket work trunk to hold his dainty belongings; his wash stand fitted with soap box, basin, pitcher, and other accessories; a cabinet to hold all his precious toy possessions, and-perhaps the best of all-a mammoth chair that is created to fit not his own bum's body. This pet chair has a large pocket behind it, covered, for keeping picture books, and is beautifully adapted for a bed time story by the firelight or a morning hour with animal pictures. The toy cabinet has drawers and hooks and shelves for holding toys in their places and for early huculcature. The cabinet has "a place for everything and ever- THE thing in its place." The doors therein are not so high but baby can easily manage their knobs, ditto the drawers and shelves, which are made for Master Baby and not Lady Mamma or busy nurse to fill. His chairs are adapted to the different stages in his entire gamut of infant moods—the rocker for his sociable, cozy moods, the Morris chair for his dozy moods, the revolving desk chair for his business hours, when important letters must be penned to mamma or pussy may be commissioned for his business needs. His desk may be a roller top or a pigeon hole and cubby holes, sloter and drawers, and with paper envelopes, pen and ink well imminently proportioned to match in smallness. His, "tender" is, interestingly novel. Behold a circular scaffolding a little lower than himself, with tiny tray in front and a swinging seat midway between top and bottom. The seat is something of a saddle, with two sockets for his legs and a horn to support him in front; the whole on roller coaster. He has mastered the arts of locomotion on two legs in order to use the "tender." He is just slipped into it, and cannot fall down or out while he satisfies his infant yearnings to be on the move. While cheerfully gratifying these cravings he incidentally learns how to walk, and leaves mamma and nurse in an Elysian bliss of peace to pursue their own callsings without interruption. They leave minutes or personally conducted him to the one hundred and three Meccas of his ambition, which are situated in as many nannables of the nursery and are unattainable to unassisted baby legs. The wash stand, with its fittings and the basket trunk and the wicker work eagle, all of white, are complete with appointments and daintiest to serve the processes of his work. The stand is just the right size, every article is his alone and made expressly for his purposes. FOOD FRAUDS IN FRANCE. Many Ingenious Adulterations in Common Use. Chopped artificial truffles are made of black rubber, silk or softened leather (in France and even whole truffles are made out of roasted potatoes, which are flavored by adding ether. They are said to sell well). They are also used in the deterators mix them with lungs of cattle and horses. Even entirely arti- Nursery wash stand ficial snails are manufactured. The shells, recounted with fat and slime, are filled with lung and then sold as "Burgundy" snails. Fish spilled in spite of ice and borax is treated with salts of zinc, aluminium and other metals. Rubbing the fish with vaseline to give it a fresh look and coloring the gills with fresh blood or cosin—a coal tar color—is resorted to. The latter is also used to intensify the red color of inferior crabs. Imparting a greenish color to oysters is another adulteration. An oyster requires about one month in the beds and takes the greenish color. As this is too long a time the dealers help them along with an artificial color. The chemists in the Paris municipal laboratories have shown that tomato jelly is adulterated with turnips and powdered pepper contains a large mixture of powdered hardtack. "Whiskers!" Was Too Familiar. Admiral John G. Walker, president of the isthman canal commission, wears Dundreary whiskers. They are long, silky and sandy in color, years ago, and the admiral was wearing the bureau of navigation at the navy department, he was washing his hands behind a screen in the corner when a lively young ensign entered the office and in a cheerful tone addressed the colored messenger: "Hello, Bones, where's old whiskers?" Before the conversation could proceed any further the admiral stepped out from behind the screen, drying his hands upon the towel, and remarked quietly to the young officer: "Take a seat. I'll sit in a moment." when the admiral took his seat in hisask the young officer, shaking limbs and flushed face, began to explain that he did not intend to be impertinent, "Oh no," answered the admiral, "I don't mind it, but it if just the same to you I'd rather you'd call me John."—Chicago Record-Herald. Large Picture Hold Attention Large A load of rusty horseshoes or a truckload of whalebone are not uncommon sights in the streets of lower Manhattan, but a truck containing a single oil painting of large proportions, uncovered to the gaze of thousands, is rather more rare. Such a load came down Broadway a few days ago. The frame of the painting was fully six feet high and proportion, not too much bore the bone of the noted ocean liners, sailing along with the proverbial "bone in her teeth" under a sky blue as turquois. The truck stop Baby Tender ped before a steamship office, and four men who had held the painting in position during the journey carried it with much effort through the doorway.—New York Post. Good Man Goes to Manila. Dr. R. H.

He knew nothing about the game, it is said, but he rose a winner of some $14,000. Defe TWO-FEOT DRAGON-FLY. Insect That Flourished During the Cashflow Period. Which is the largest insect is not an easy matter to decide, as the question of shape has to be taken into account. The longest known insect is undoubtedly the stick insect of Borneo. Specimens thirteen inches in length have been captured. It is an interesting-example of mimetic coloring, resembling in a remarkable manner a piece of rough stick. On the bough of a tree it is extremely difficult to distinguish between the insect and the bark. Borneo is also the home of one of the largest species of dragon-fly. A specimen of the sub-family *Eschmae measures six inches and a half from wing to wing, and is endowed with a correspondingly strong body. Another giant insect is the Hercules beetle, found in the West Indies, which rivals a sparrow in size, and might turn the scale against one in half. Some tropical butterflies measure from ten to twelve inches across their wings, as does the great owl moth of Brazil. The largest insect of antiquity was a species of dragon-fly, which measured more than two feet across the expanded wings. It flourished during the carboniferous period.—Stray Stories. GROWTH OF CARD PLAYING. Now Recognized Form of Entertainment in City Homes. Card playing is a popular amusement in all forms of household entertainments now," said the proprietor of a card playing school in West Fourteenth street, "and guests at a party who do not know how to play some of the family games feel out of place and are a bore to others. This home card playing and the fact that lists of prize winners at echeveris are often given in the newspapers have worked a great change. The fact that society women play bridge the fact that stakes does not cozy quiet families may play it for pennies, or even for buttons. There are a number of families that are in the habit of meeting once a week for games, and play for nickels, the money being all put into a box.

Intelligent Criticism. A good story is going the rounds in musical circles illustrating the tendency of amateur musicians to criticise their professional superiors. A young lady with artistic aspirations attended church one Sunday not long since at St. Stephen's, where the blind organist, Mr. Wood, plays, and where the music is generally reputed to be very fine. After the service she met some friends, who inquired how she enjoyed the music. "Oh, I enjoyed singing very much," she said, "but don't you think Mr. Wood played a little flat on the organ?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Not Much to Look At, but— As E. H.

"Oh, that's the time when he was a lobster," said Mr. Cary cheerfully and at once—New York Times. Active Page USE OF COFFEE OLD SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED CENTURIES AGO. Dervish In Arabia the First to Brew the Fragrant Beverage—Can Never Be Successfully Grown in the United States. As to the history of coffee, the legend runs that it was first found growing wild in Arabia. Haddi Omar, a dervish, discovered it in 1285, 617 years ago. He was dying of hunger in the wilderness when, finding some small round berries, he tried to eat them, but they were bitter. He tried roasting them, and these he finally stepped in some water held in the hollow of his hand, and found the decoction as refreshing as if he had partaken of solid food. He hurried back to Mecha, where he had been baited, and inviting the wise man to attack, and inviting his discovery, they were so well pleased with it that they made him a saint. The story is told that coffee was introduced into the West Indies in 1723 by Chirac, a French physician, who gave a Norman gentleman by the name, De Cleux, a captain of infantry, on his way to Martinique, a single plant. The sea voyager was a stormy one, the vessel was driven out of her course, and drinking water became so scarce that it was distributed in raions. De Cleux, with an affection for his coffee plant, divided his portion of water with it, and succeeded in bringing it to Martinique, although weak, not in a hopeless condition. There he planted it in his garden, protected it with a palm tree, and watched it until the end of the year, when he gathered two pounds of coffee, which he distributed among the inhabitants of the island to be planted by them. From Martinique coffee trees in turn were sent to San Domingo, Gaudaloupe and other neighboring islands. The coffee tree, is an evergreen shrub, growing in its natural state to a height of fourteen to eighteen feet. It is usually kept trimmed, however, for convenience in picking the berries, which grow along the branches close to the leaves and resemble in shape and color ordinary cherries. The tree cannot be grown above the frost line, neither it can be successfully grown in the tropics. The most successful climate for production is that found at an altitude of about 4,000 feet. Anything much above this is in danger, frost, which is fast, and when coffee is grown much below this altitude, an artificial shade, which materially increases the cost of production and does not produce a marketable berries. It is owing to this particular requirement that coffee has never been successfully produced in the United States—Success. ORDEALS OF A DOCTOR. Bad Things Encountered in the Practice of Medicine. It is often claimed by outsiders that having a profession dulls a woman's sympathies; but I cannot believe that this is true in the practice of medicine, where one side of the work is so immeasurably sad. I have seen a baby that came after fifteen years of waiting and hoping, and was rejoiced over daily and hourly for a wonderful experience. I have seen its little life out in a day with pneumonia. These are the times when it hurts to be a doctor, to find that all the knowledge that you possess, all the skill at your command, is as so much chaff before the wind. To have a woman cling to you, begging you to save her baby, is an ordeal to which no human being can grow calous. You must feel as though the brand of Cain were upon you when, in the middle of the life little. Not years nor experience can lighten hours such as these.—Autobiography of a Woman Physician, in Everybody's Magazine. Evening. The sun is set; the swallows are asleep.

And in the inconsistent motion of the dust and straw are driven up and And whirled about the pavement of the town. The chasm in which the sun has sunk is By darkest barriers of enormous cloud.

Prayer by Rew. Rowl Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York. SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1903. Some of the most sensible expressions in regard to lynching which have come to our notice were made by Henry Wolfer, warden of the Minnesota penitentiary, in a speech he made before the annual meeting of the prison association of the United States last Saturday. He said: "There is a spirit of lawlessness abroad in the land which has grown to such magnitude as to concern every thinking person in the country. It has manifested itself in lynchings. in the persons have been lynched in the United States, according to statistics compiled by the Chicago Tribune. These lynchings have not been confined to any particular section, nor have they been the result of any, particular crime. Men have been lynched for such offenses as theft, threats, passing counterfeit money, slapping a child, miscegenation, giving evidence, elopement, refusing to give evidence, violation of contract, and even on account of unpopularity and suspected robbery. Lynchings have occurred in almost every state in the union, and until the commission of the Wilmington Del, horror they created very little comment. "We cannot look with indifference on the wide-spread moral obliqueness indicated by mob rule. I need not say it is inexcusable. The excuse that just time is slow and uncertain is not in accordance with the facts. In no part of the United States would it be difficult to select a jury to adequately punish those who now fall victims to mob rule; and, furthermore, it is inexcusable, because it exerts no restraining influence on the criminally inclined. I need not tell you that violence begets violence and that disrespect for law and order propagates itself." “We need to get at the root of this matter, to discover if possible why our country has been subjected to this conflagration of mob rule within the last two decades. Mr. Herbert Spencer in his latest book has offered two possible explanations of the cause, not of lynchings, to be sure, but of general lawlessness. He discusses the revival of the military spirit at the expense of the civic ideal (rebarbarization, he terms it), and shows that it is, after a fashion, a reversal of type; and also comments at some length on the dangers attendant upon education when it is in advance of moralization, showing that it has a direct tendency to make people unwholesomely discontented and unscrupulous. “Other eminent thinkers do not hesitate to attribute lynching wholely to race prejudice, but as whites are lynched as well as Negroes, although not to the same extent, this hypothesis would seem to be faulty. “All these things may be factors in urging violence and unscrupulous men to deeds of lawlessness. "Lynching is frequently condoned on the ground that the better class of citizens compose the mobs that persecute the outrages. Even if this assertion were true, I cannot see how it could be true, but the inequity of the crime; but there never was anything less proved or less probable. Some of this audience may have witnessed a lynching. If there are any present who have, I ask them to cast their mind's eye back to the scene and endeavor to tell how many responsible newspapers may say to that they will not remember a single one. "No mobs are not composed of our best citizens, whatever some of the newspapers may say to the contrary. They are composed of the discontented and ill-governed members of the press who assemble to sate their thirst for blood by burning or hanging a fellow creature are the same men who go to make up our criminal classes. "I will not insult your intelligence by saying that mob rule is anarchy, and are civilized people who, while still exists there is no excuse for an individual or a group of individuals who usurp its functions. "Justice Brewer spoke the plain, unnished truth when he said that lynching is murder. It was a wholesome truth and seemed to be the nation as a cold douche refreshes the body. And I assert that every person who makes one of a lynching mob should be treated as a murderer. I do not say that when they are so treated lynching is not a crime, but the knowledge that swift and sure justice will follow the commission of a crime has a salutary effect on all law-breakers. We are proud of our country and its institutions; we have cause to be proud of it; but while we tolerate mob rule in any form or deny to the meanest individual the protection of the law, we still have something to be ashamed of our nation. "The great man (and as nations are proud of) the great nation), subdues his passions, respects the laws and concedes to others, without distinction, the rights and privileges he demands for himself. We are proud of our intelligence and of our learning; but we must be aware of the corresponding development, without a corresponding growth of morality, is a curse to mankind." The Chicago Tribune seems to be making a determined effort to arouse race prejudice in the public schools of the city and it is a fact not creditable to this heretofore fair journal. It is natural that the addition of many students to Chicago's population, working with them as they do their damnable ideas of the inferiority of the Afro-American, that there should be some friction occasionally on the race question, but it is very small business for a great paper like the Tribune to fan the embs of race prejudice, as it has been doing with the "Raymond" letters which did the race great injury. In reply to an educated and refined Afro-American who objected to Raymond's method of presenting the race question, the Tribune elated friend, ship for Afro-Americans and said the articles were printed for the interest of the terests, that what slaves said before the war. They held the black man in bondage for his "best interests." Now every little scrap between white and black boys is magnified into a race war. This is a practice decent journalism by admitting such stuff to its columns. The Rock River conference at Aurora, Illinois, has decided "to petition Congress, asking for the removal of food and sanitation of the Negroes of the South." The Appeal is opposed to the establishment of any kind of a separate institution for the Afro-Americans. The government in a republic has no power to discriminate. To do so, like those proposed not really benefit the race, but would serve to force the Afro-American into an inferior position in the country. It would be all right for the government to establish industrial schools which would have precluded Toes to regardness of color or creed, but to suggest any particular kind of education for the Afro-American is an insult to the race. The Christian brethren who are so anxious for the elevation of the race should elevate themselves so hard that they can offer something to the black man's children which they would not accept for their own offspring. There is an old adage which is considered to be both law and gospel: "Self-preservation is the first law of nature," there is no color qualification and we are constrained to the belief that black people was applied by Bob Wittes, an Afro-American of Henderson, Tex.

Ellerson Publishing Co. The public are Democracy and Caste. The first leads to anarchy, the second to oligarchy. The middle way walk therein, the American people even walk therein. This is a very interesting story, and being a contribution to the race question, as it was the first to set out the mastery maystery over the accepted literary forms, it's interest is therefore enhanced. It is the tale of a young boy developing into a man who has not yet been belonging to the procrastified class of black folk. Early in life he begins to curse the fate that had cast his lot with that of his life. He has been so complex and possessing all of the physical characteristics of the white race, he could not understand why he should be treated as a well-worn withstands that fact that "Mammy Sally," his ostensible mother, was black. His attachment to his dark mother was very important when in the course of time she decided to return to the more congenital climate of the South, because of increasing infirmities, and the hard struggling, extraordinary and the voluptuous life of the New England labor, "Jack Sally," as he was called by his playmates, worked as a farm laborer in the world of the world. He was called to the source of much assistance and comfort to his hard working mother. In their early birth the boy was his first encounter with the "Jim" boy, and soon after his arrival at the place where he took up his permanent abode, he soon became the victim of petty persecutions. He was not a man who was not a man who was not a man who was not a farm laborer. His life as a farm laborer was one dreary round of uninviting and monotonous life. He was a great star of the world, the world of old Uncle Kish, a typical ante bellum Negro, and Joe Watkins, a white boy, with whom he hunted possums. Denied admission to the local public school, because of his race, he would have been denied admission to college of ignorance but for the philanthropic spirit of a New England woman, living on an adjoining plantation who gave him a commanded to expand, his ambition grew apace, and he fretted like a caged bird. He was a man who, when fell heavily upon his sensitivy, On a hunting expedition one night with the family of the law, and was condemned to a public whipping for a crime of which he was guilty of the law, and it became his comrade, the sole witness to the incident for which he had been convicted in order that there might be no possibility of his acquittal, by the study of execution obtained by a friend, he returns to his lowly habitable home, and is sent to a sick after rescuing a drowning woman. The rescue of this woman instead of attacking her neighbors only served to increase their hatred and dislike of the "white niggers" by his benefactress, a very dramatic act of revenge. Carried in the "Great House" where he is installed as one of the family members, he is treated as an adopted son, he is fumily sent to Harvard University, where for the first time he velt, who once again comes into his life. Falling in love with a white girl living on an adjoining estate, his suffering because of his disaparity between their race and stations that he is nearly driven crazy —was on his way to the University —in his love to the beautiful daughter of Colonel Custis, only to be treated with It is just at this climax that it becomes a good birth, who had been a man of good birth, who had been a man of Mammy Sally” when a babe to raise, in the humiliation and disgrace of a clandestine marriage with a man who had been a man of good birth. The literary power of the writer may be seen from the following description of “It marked the spot of a Negro graveyard.

In these fields with the sweat of their brow, bawning with remarkation than slavery, going to their toll from day to day and returning “like a gale, slave, to the dungeon of his slave, to the slavery, without hope, only to fall down in the harvest field or the long turrow and be carted out at last under the shade of this old tree. **SOCIAL LIFE IN THE EARLY REPUBLIC.** Social Life in the Early Republic. By Profusely illustrated. $v.o. Buckram gilt top, uncut edges. $v. o. Philadelhia. Within the last year or two there has been written a good deal of interesting life of the Republic and of the colonial period. Much of the matter that has been written is of hastiness and ill preparation, and can hardly be classed as standard literature. The Social Life in the Early Republic, "has written historically and well. This lady has written the previous period, and the previous volumes which describe the politics and the tragic events of that most strenuous period of development and the reading people, but caused them to look forward with much expectation to the volume, which may be termed exhaustive. The first chapter on "A Social Evolution of the subject, without any of the sickenling little prologues or apologies which have been written," is the most important of the "postcolonial units simplicity of day night when a party of young white men went to Willis' house for the purpose of flogging him for some alleged offense not clearly stated. Wittis warned them not to approach but they continued to advance, when he fired them and then wounded another. Wittis is in the hands of the sherif—or was at this writing. Had the colors of the parties in this case been transposed Wittis have been lauded as a brave hero and would have been set free long ago, if, indeed, he had been locked up at all. We await with some apprehension to hear what will be the final outcome of this case. Bishop McCabe says education is the only thing which will solve the race problem and that congress should appropriate $10,000,000 for that purpose. We are not quite sure that this is the only thing necessary unless it be addressed to the white man to be educated as well as the blacks. However, we would like to see the worthy Bishop's plan tried. The "heathen Chinee" seems to be getting "velly much like Mexican man," at least he is imbibing the hellish American race prejudice. One Lee Chit of Philadelphia recently refused to serve an Afro-American with food at his restaurant and he was promptly indicted by the grand jury. The Illinois Civil Rights Protective League, which meets in Springfield Monday, should form a strong organization and speak in no uncertain tone. He will be the first to prompt and vigorous action in these days when the rights of the race are assailed on every hand. morals with that the politeness and delicacy of manner which render virtue and grace, and the pride of the village, who visited the principal cities of America, soon after the Revolution. In 1800, the Frenchman recorded that he discovered "nessiness without luxury," and if in other places he found more luxury and less nessiness, in women so charmingly cultivated that many admitted-that for beauty and conversational Southern settler more clearly shown than in his love for field sports. A Maryland man with horses that seemed almost tireless, and with dogs like the horses, they sometimes insula from the Chesapeake to the AT and at hospital mansions on the way, took more time than the pursuit of the fox, to expedition sometimes lasted a week." In a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simplicity," she writes the following story: When he was given a new expression to her, he was to be a person who had to be the最小ing strictest of the Republic. He must have made a mental reservation in favor of Mr. Jefferson. with whom she was a great favor. Indeed it was given the incidence of Jefferson and the given the precedence of Mrs. Madison at a state dinner that he aroused the animosity of the British minister. Anthony of Whigson's Hogwilding, which seem to have occupied a First Jefferson's thoughts very considerably at this time, and either from carelessness or because of his own republicanism, he seriously offended the other people.

By Charles Burr Todd, author of "The The Amon Burr," 12mo. Cloth, illustrated; net, $1.20. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. The "The Struggle" people seem to have the front of the stage's post now. An unpleasant impression has prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold has not been treated. This has been a lot of his country ignored and has great fault was not over-emphasized perhaps, but unreasonably punished. Teachers of the country are un鲁莽 and other great teachers to one's friend and is not to be condoned in any wise. There may be, however, certain circumstances which explain the deed and modify the While not condoning Arnold's treason, Mr. Todd emphasizes his invaluable services to America, and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the economies: first as the battle of Vancouver Island, in a champ in the first battle, by the way, in which our arms were engaged), where, by his desperate valor, he gave the British such wholesome respect for American arms that they gave up their plan of invasion from the two years in the first battle of the siege of Fort Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley and putting at flight St. Leger's invading army marching to aid Burgoyne, and third and fourth by winning the two battles of Saratoga, which, conjoined, Cressy included as one of the fifteen decile battles of the world. Mr. Todd also shows that it was the influence of Arnold's wife and his fear of losing her should her treasonable correspondence with the British officers be discovered, which induced Arnold's to be a very serious 理应 to the whole justice of Congress nor the calamities of paper generals—the motives generally ascribed. The book is an original and unique contribution to revolutionary history. The illustrations are interesting and instructive; especially, noteworthy is the reproductive and other services and services of building at Arnold in effect. As death drew near, it is said his mind was filled with the anguish of fighting his battles with Washington and his old comrades in arms. In a lucid introspection, he form a major-general, in which he had escaped to the "future," and which he had been put on him, with the epaulets and sword, and given him as the bravest of the brave. "Let me die in my old American uniform," he said, "and I fought my battles. God forgive me," he added, "for ever putting on any --- Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey, by Alfred M. Heston Member of the Board of Trustees of the N. J.: Similickon Chew & Sons Co. This monograph is a recital of slavery in New Jersey, a history of slavery. The fact is brought out that slavery existed in America long before 1819, and that the slave trade of human freight to Jamestown, the cargo of human freight to Jamestown, the enemies taken in battle but those of their own nation who were convicted of their own crimes introduced in New Jersey in 1850—at least that is the earliest recorded instance of the leading citizens engaged in the African slave trade, even when centuries of the good elders in white centuries of the African coast always turned out well, allowing the arrival of a slave into the harbor in these words: "An overruling slave in the land of freedom another cargo of benighted heathen to enjoy the blessings of God." Perth Amboy was New Jersey's chief port of entry, and blacks were to be seen there in goodly numbers, many of them freshly imported and still bearing their inhumors. In the early 2000s to 1500. The system of white bondage known as redemptive servitude, existed throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This form of bondage was usually voluntary, and at the expira- tory that the redemption was merged into the mass of white population without any special taint of servitude. The importation into the colony of Negro slaves, who were found to be cheaper than white servants, checked in a measur- ed grade of service,ái champi- tism, which was which convicts were shipped to New Jersey from the British Islands, and were merged into the mass of the population. An act providing for the gradual abolition of slavery was passed by the U.S. Presidemt of the House of Representatives in 2004, the act in 1826, and still later another in 1846, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although there were but little to date the entire state when the new orodamate was issued. In 1889, Hon. G. G. Hombach, a time- in a member of the state senate, introduced and had passed a bill which removed from the statutes the last veatige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information. CIVIL WAR TIMES. Civil War Times. by Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic. 11.50. Indianapolis: Dobb-Merrill Co. The war of '61S will never cease—at least in the present generation, to be a part of the future, to serbing interest. This is so, because it was a war of glories; because many of the soldiers were "hair breadth escapes, and the imminent deadly breach"; its long and dreadful path; its echelon of maughs; because the finale of that conflict profoundly influenced the civilizations which were in the echo chamber to reverberate in all the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's work with profit by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Near and Nearly every important Confederate commander favored the enlistment of black soldiers in the Confederate Senate, and the bated in the Confederate Senate, and the soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that of Senator Hunter. That when the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders were forced to cause a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the made effective, the fall of Richmond, and this chapter is especially interesting at. this time in view of the present propaganda of the Southern people, to debase the War and to encourage willing in the last desperate strait of the Confederacy, to enlist as a soldier, there are other very interesting chapters in the book.

SALLY WIBERES JOURNAL In the book, the style is clear, unintrusive, and the author has written instructively. Sally Wister's Journal is the record kept by a Quaker girl of 16 during a winter famous in the history of this country. The greater part or the book has to do with the sayings and doings of American soldiers visiting the market at the store, and the house, to their attentions to the writer and her friend Lyddy and to her regret when certain of them go upon missions of peril. Her "teeth rattled" and her "hand shook like an aspen leaf" when she first saw these soldiers, but she soon came to the face of them expressed and says to her Philadelphia friend: "My and vice is summon up all your resolution, call fortitude to your aid, and don't suffer your spirits to sink my dear; there's nothing like courage," is what I stand in need of myself. I ally soon discovered that soldiers are by a human. They are always "very much so, so much men." they eat like other folks, talk like them and behave with elegance. One "is the most amiable of men; tall and gentle" whom the following lines will most fully characterize:— "How skilled he is in each obliging area." The eldest manners with the bravest heart. Another soldier. A second is "monstrous tall and brown, but has a certain something in his face and conversation, very agreeable." And then, "Here comes the glory, the major to bashful, so famous, etc. He cannot be extolled for the graces of person, but for those of the mind he may justly be celebrated: he is large in his person, mainly, and an engaging countenance and adress." TWO ON THEIR TRAVELS. "Two on Their Travels," by Ethel Colquhoun, $2.50. New York, A. S. Barnes & Co. "Two on Their Travels," by Ethel Colquhoun, with photographic illustrations by the writer is a very interesting book of travel. The writer describes the out-of-the-war places which she visited with a style entirely of natural, and yet which exhibits a style of treatment quite unique. In the order of the boy's and of his father's, a happy ending," she writes: "If the four was bad the drink was worse. The universal male demand for whiskey led to the production of a bottle bearing a wonderful label and the statement. Used in the House of Merid体系和a. The commercial traveler, tasteful, put down the glass and stared thoughtfully at the label. Dressing the head boy he said with his slow Glasgow accent: "Whaur-r did yeah and you bottle." The delicate Scots, I fear entirely lost. It was the same commercial traveler who, a few years later, has invited by Andrew to share a rather less poisonous use, earned from somewhere. "Thank ye, no!" he replied. "Aw'm thinkin' aw've he'd as much as quid for-me." He then related how, feeling thirsty in the middle of the light, he had got up and drunk when he fell in about half a day. He of water. In the morning he discovered the water bottle full and the whisky bottle empty!" "I thought it was very good water!" he remarked. The writer describes in a very interesting manner scenes, people and places in the Philippines, the straits settlement, Japan, China, and other countries in the East. The Illustrations are, many of them in colors and are very elaborate. THE NEGRO. The Negro in Revelation, in History, and in Citizenship. By Rev. J. J. Pipkin, 52. St. Louis, N. D. Thompson Publishing. This book is written along original lines. It is written in the spirit of the broadest humanity and patriotism. It is well calculated to promote good-feeling and mutual helpfulness between the races. It is known that the old people recognized that they are neighbors—that they occupy the same country, and will occupy it for generations to come—that a mutual understanding and a mutual good will will best serve the interests of both. It will impress the Afro-American man at the present age of the time—that the abilities of achievement. The book gives an array of success in life reached by representative Afro-Americans that will not fall to raise the standard and kindle the aspirations of every Afro-American man and boy. It will likewise serve to impress the white people with the vast strides made by the Afro-American since the emancipation. This achievement is such as to win for him universal respect and a universal confidence in his future. It is written from the standpoint of direction and order of the race. The association of the name of the Gen. John B. Gordon, by way of introduction, whose services as governor of his state, as United States senator, as a distinguished and unceasingly well-known, is a guarantee of the great character and high purpose of the book. It is a book not only for the Afro-American but for the Caucasian. Its work is well as a source of agreeable astonishment to him. ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE. The Romance of the Commonwealth. By Gelett Burgess, $1.50. San Francisco. Paul Eder and Morgan Shepard. This is a volume of modern philosophy, which ranks in that class of essays that are fast to be read. The most popular work by Jeroen de Gretter and the book, and one may: glance at any-ohapter and discover many commonplace things written to the world. The most common and the best desire to tell secrets, writes the author, "is one of the most contagious of diseases, and few of us are immune. Some vigorous moral constitutions never succumb to any problems that are so hard to work stopping it, and a secret on the rampage is well nigh irresistible. Tell your secret, then, broadcast, and let it have its effect. It is not only a subject, but is all never confide it to her who asserts she never has the slightest desire to tell, for there, like a seed sown in fertile ground, it will germinate and nower long after you have forgotten the life, and bring forth fruit you never planned. Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged not everyone who has the tac to decide at a glance just how much his victim will stand." The author treats of art, science and literature with such a delicate, ironical criticism, and withal, with so much of masterful art as to render this book of annual interest. THE ART OF THE VATICAN.

"QUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY." At the Grand Opera House. The quick wit of a woman is shown by the character of the half-breed Indian girl Rainbow in "Queen of the Highway," which comes to the Grand next week. The hero, Bob Sherwood, a pony express rider, has been ambushed by Indians, wounded and thrown over a cliff from a narrow trail through the mountains; he saves himself from death by clinging to a ledge of rocks upon which he has fallen, but he can get neither up or down the steep walls of rock which surrounds him. The blood from his wounds soon attract a pack of wolves, who leap down upon the rock where he lies, QUEEN THE HIGHWAY THE HOLD UP from the trail above; he battles them off for a time with his hunting knife, but is about to give up the fight from exhaustion, when Rainbow appears on her pony and puts the wolves to flight; then comes the problem of how to raise the stricken man to the trail above; there is little time to think, as the wolves show a disposition to return the attack. Nothing daunted, Rainbow throws Bob the end of a long latifaril which she carries on her saddle, telling him to tie it to his belt. She slips the noose on the pony's back, turning his head away from the prepice, hauls Bob up to safety. This is said to be a most thrilling and effective climax, which sets the audience in a frenzy of delight. The entire scenic investiture, which has been most lavishly supplied by the Jas. H. Wallick Amusement Co., is carried, and in selecting the cast much care has been exercised, the result being a performance complete in every detail of acting and accessories.
