The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. Holy City Topsy-Turvy Land for World's Felons Land for World's Felons He Stopped Alarm Clock He Stopped Alarm Clock At the Beautiful Gate VOL. 21. NO. 3. Life in Jerusalem, according to Miss A. Goodrich Freer, the author of "Inner Jerusalem," is one of anomalies and anachronisms. The street arab speaks three or four languages. Apart from the tourist, who are representatives of half of the nations of the world, there are Jews, Mohammedans and Christians. The streets of Jerusalem are unspeakably filthy. One can buy anything he wants in the city. There are even French dressmakers who will follow out the latest Parisian fashion. Water is scarce and mainly derived from clisters. The rainfall averages only thirty or forty inches. There is a trade in good water which comes from the village of Ain Karim, some three miles distant from Jerusalem. There is a most unpleasant wetland, a natural trail to vegetation, "exhausting to the nerves, irritating to the temper, parching the skin and ruinous to the hair and complexion." The dews are heavy. Jerusalem has its special diseases, but the cure is found in quinine. Insect pests are the mosquitoes and most particularly the sand flies. One of the most common pests is the What is the logic of keeping criminals at the public expense? Why should the community give a man free board and lodging for his life because he has broken the law? asks the San Francisco Bulletin. If a man is unfit to large in society, then, if self-preservation is the first law of nature, society has the right to eliminate him. This it does, foolishly, at present, by locking him up for a term of years or life. In a few cases society kills the criminal, and thus gets rid of him invocably and cheaply; but this is hard on the criminal who may not be negligible. Hence capital punishment would be too severe for crimes less than the most heinous. The maintenance of prisons, however, is a heavy drain upon the taxpayers. Moreover, prisons are not reformatories, but rather colleges for education in the criminal arts and for the formation of the professional criminal character. Therefore, they are menaces as well as burdens to society. Some nations have made a compro Patrons of an uptown hotel were started early in the morning of a day last week by a fusilade of pistol shots, the sound of breaking glass and the crashing of some heavy object as it struck the floor. The proprietor was notified, and, followed by several clerks and a number of men from the office, he went to the door of the room where the noise had occurred. They could still hear a voice swerving volubly, and the odor of smoke filtered through the cracks of the door. Receiving no immediate answer to his knock, the proprietor of the hotel put his shoulder to the door and, aided by those who followed, burst into the room. The crowd had expected to see a bloody corpse at the very least, for the room was filled with smoke from a six-shooter. But, instead of a desperate-looking man fighting for his life, they saw a tall, bronzed and bearded Lord, open the door; for I fatter; I breathe in the air; for I breathe in In dust and strained I lose my breath; This life of self is a living death; Let me into thy Pastures broad and To the sun and the wind from Thy mountains feel Lord's door to me. within These walls so charred by the fire of sin, Where I toll like a captive blind and bound.

"Then: it is theirs; it is theirs; they are the infinite arches go; it yet cried and dumb, behold me walk; they are the infinite arches go; they are the infinite arches go; "James," said the English gold manufacturer, "we are hout of Bibles. Go down town and buy six dozen." James in due course returned with the Bibles in a hand cart. They were taken from him by three men, their covers were torn off and the pages were trimmed with sharp knives down to a certain small size. Then these little reduced papers were sewed together into a multitude of small books. The small books were distributed among the hands and in them the firm's output of gold leaf was packed—between every two Bible leaves a leaf of gold. "It seems irreverent, not to say sacrilegious, I know," said the head of the firm, "but we halways do so. We have done so for generations. Gold leaf is halways put on the market in little books made of Bibles. "Why? I'll tell you why. Gold leaf sand fly is at home everywhere. Clothing affords no protection. Flies are overabundant. Winter is, more pleasant than summer. Sometimes on a winter evening a fire is necessary. After all it is, more practical than the mean annual temperature being 63 degrees. With all its sacredness, Jerusalem is described as a "topsy-topsy land." In a holy place the native takes off his shoes and wears his hat. The men sport petticoats and the women expose their legs, while hiding their faces. Carpets are hung on the walls and pictures on the ceiling. There is a strong attitude, for in art there is no word the equivalent of "Thank you." Living is cheap. A good cook can be had by the month for $6. Mutton is worth from 8 to 10 cents a pound, chickens about 25 cents a pair. Fruit is plentiful and reasonable. Considering the economy of living, the author expresses her surprise that so few English live in Jerusalem, that so many live in Jerusalem, then compared with the American residents. The population of the city is put down at 60,000, of which 40,000 are Jews. mise with logic by establishing penal colonies, where felons are permitted in a measure to shift for themselves. But these colonies are only half-way measures. The logical, humane and most effectual solution of the problem would be the setting apart of some great territory—say the heart of Africa or some large island, not too fertile—as a general dumping ground for the criminals of all nations. There the outlaws could set up a society of their own. Necessity would compel them to dig and build for themselves. They would have to work or starve. The frontiers or coasts of the felons' land could be policed by a patrol composed of detachments from the armies and navies of all the nations in order to prevent escape. Summary death shattered, of course, the penalty for breaking bounds. The powers of the police could refuse to take any part in the internal administration of the territory thus set up. The criminals could do what they pleased, have anarchy or a communism, a republic or an autocracy, whichever suited them.

Residents near Broadway and Fifty-eighth street have for some time past been attracted each Sabbat morning by a kaleidoscopic procession of many complexions and persuasions wending toward a demure brownstone building on the corner of the city is down on the city map as Genealogical hall. This weekly procession has nothing to do with the Scribes and Pharisees. Nor is it a Sunday morning gathering of Shakespearean philosophers searching for sermons in stones and books in babbling brooks. None of these was represented in the pilgrimage of the brownstone on the Sabbat ago. They were detour pioneers of a new [Illustration of a man in traditional attire, possibly a scholar or a religious figure]. ABBAS EFFENDI THE MASTER AT ACRE. LAST PHOTO TAKEN 30 YEARS AGO and no less remarkable than numerically successful religion which, since 1898, has thrown its occult enlightenment into many corners of Dark America and Darker New York—a religion which within forty years has illuminated for 9,000,000 human beings the path which leads to Acre and to Him Who Lives There. Acre is 551 anseapo sixty miles from Belut, and Babis it is pronounced and written Akka. Those who have seen and absorbed the teachings of Abbas Efendi believe that Just as Mohammed lived and died to save and sanctify all Mussulmans, and just as the Christ suffered the crucifixion in order to accomplish the same Christian purpose, the Master at Acre will unite true believers of every race and religion under both the cross and crescent. In other words, they believe. Babism is the evolution of all religions of the past and as such is designed to carry on the torch of moral, physical and spiritual civilization. This is the story of the extraordinary One at Acre as gleaned from several followers in the congregation. Myron in a recent written account of his pilgrimage to Acre entertainingly describes the Master as follows: "I imagine that we are in the ancient house of the still more ancient city of Akka, which was for a month my home. The room in which we are faces the opposite wall of a narrow paved street, which an active man might clear at a single bound. Above is the bright sun of Palestine; to the right the blue of the sea wall the bluish Mediterranean. As we sit we hear a singular sound arising from the pavement thirty feet below—faint at first and increasing. It resembles a murmur of human voices. We open the window and look down. We see a crowd of human beings with patched and tattered garments. Let us descend to the street and see who these are. "It is a noteworthy gathering. Many of these men are blind, many more are pale, emaciated, or aged. Some are on crutches. Some are so feeble that they can barely walk. "These people are weighed against the walls or see them on the ground, up to the attitude of expectation. For what do they want? Let us wait with them. "We have not to wait long. A door opens and a man comes out. He is of medium stature, strongly built. He wears flowing, light-colored robes. On his head is a light baffle with a white cloth wound about it. He is perhaps sixty years of age. His long gray hair rests on his shoulders. His forehead is broad, full and high, his nose slightly aquatic, his mountains and the latter full though his cheeks are white. His eyes are gray and blue (an unusual color in Syria), large, and both soft and penetrating. His bearing is simple, but there is grace, slightly, and even mal- Defective Page esty about his movements. He passes through the crowd, and as he goes utters words of salutation. We do not understand them, but we see the benignity and kindness of his countenance. We see the smile of the street and motions to the people to come toward him. They crowd up a little too insistently. He pushes them gently back and lets them pass him by one by one. As they come they hold their hands extended. In each open palm he places some small coins. He knows them all. He touches them upon the face, on the shoulders, on the head. An aged negro who hobbles in he greets with ABBAS EFFENDI THE MASTER ATACRE LAST PHOTO TAKEN 30 YEARS AGO some kindly inquiry; the broad face breaks into a sunny smile, his white teeth glistening against his ebony skin as he replies. He stops—a woman with a babe and fondly strokes the child. As they pass, some kiss his hand. To all he says, 'Marhabbah, marhabbah—Well done, well done.' "So they pass. The children have been crowding around him with extended hands, but to them he has not given. However, at the enq, as he turns to go, he throws a handful of coppers over his shoulder, for which they scramble. During this time this friend of the poor has not been unattended. Several men wearing red fezes, and with earnest and kindly faces, followed him from the house, stood near him, and aided in regulating the crowd. (Abbas Effendi is a prisoner of the government.) "This scene you may see almost any day in the streets of Akka. There are other scenes which come only at the beginning of the Winter season. In the cold weather which is approaching the poor of Akka will suffer, for, as in all cities, they are thinly clad. Some day at this season, if you are advised of the place and time, you may see the Akka poor gathered at one of the shops where clothes are sold, receiving cloaks from the Mas الله أكبر ter. Upon many, especially the most infirm and crippled, he himself places the garments, adjusting them with his own hands and stroking them approvingly as if to encourage the wearer. There are five or six hundred poor in Akka, to all of whom he gives a warm book of laws recommends, a conclusion, that mankind shall selec one language and one character for those that exist, and adopt them as means of communication, to the en that the whole world may become on land and one home.—New York Times. House of the Master at Acre. "This man who gives so freely must be rich, you think? Once his family was the wealthiest in all Persia. But this friend of the lowly, like the Galean, has been oppressed. For fifty years he and his family have been exiles and prisoners. Their property has been confiscated and wasted. His own garments are usually of cotton, and the cheapest that can be bought. Often his friends in Persia—for this man is rich in friends, the tens of millions that could eagerly own their lives at his word—send him costly garments. These he once, out of respect for the sender, then he gives them away. "His room is small and bare, with only a matting on the stone floor. Yet, while he is a prisoner, his jailers have become his friends. The Governor of the city, the commander of the army corps, respect and honor him as though he were their own brother. And how could it be otherwise? For to this man it is the law, as it was to Jesus of Nazareth, to do good to those who injure him. He weet heet of any one in lands which boast the name of Christ who lived that life? Such is Abu Akef Eendil, the Master of the history of the movement and babaism tenets: Bahaim property began with one All - Mohammed, a youth of twenty-five years, who in 1844 announced himself to be the Baba, or Gate, as the name means in Islam. His father was a cloth seller named Mirza Riza, and the Bab was born at Shiraz, in Southern Persia, on Oct. 1820. On leaving-school Ali Mohammed for a while assisted his father in business, 'removing subsequently to Bushire, on the Persian Gulf. So far there was nothing particularly noticeable in him save a gravity beyond his years, a remarkable purity of life, a somewhat dream temperament—such as characterizes most Oriental zealot—and a grace of manner which attracted to him many friends. A visit to Kerbala, Ali Mohammed met and a certain Haily Sajid Kazim of Resht, the disciple and successor of Sheykh Ahmad of Ahaa, who had founded a sect called Sheykhis. Kazim dying some months after All returned to Bushire, and the news of his death reaching the latter city, Ali Mohammed suddenly amazed his friends by announcing himself as the spiritual successor of the departed Kazim. He gathered disciples as honey attracts insects in Hyla. His fame spread. He went to Mecca as a Sheykhis leader and came back the Bab. Persecutions followed. He was arrested in 1845, taken to Shiraz, are raigned and bastadened as a heroic His career for many years was freed with trials and tribulations. So far from being discomposed the Bab has maintained his principles and doctrines with unwearying energy. They underwent considerable development and grew as he aged. His son is Abbas Efendi. Babism or Bahism may be roughly condensed as making for perfect comradeship. He Who Lives at Acre has personally informed Mesdames Phoce heBearst of California and E.L. Get singer of New York, as well as Miss Brittingham, Attorney Phelps, Chairman Hoar, and Prof. Edward Granville Brown of Cambridge University in England that his teachings are evolved from many other and older religions, from which, he it ventured, they differ little except in laying stress upon certain passages of both the Bible and Koran with regard to brotherly love. Briefly, Bahism teaches that the universe exists for the purpose of individualizing the Eternal Essence; that is, for the purpose of creating in that essence centers of consciousness and intelligence which shall know themselves and It.

His book of laws recommends, in conclusion, that mankind shall select one language and one character for those that exist, and adopt them as means of communication, to the end that the whole world may become one land and one home.—New York Times. --- Prairie Dog Fooled Cat Curious Habit of Seals Defied the Goddess Pele Chestnuts a Good Food Chestnuts a Good Food More Perilous Than War Lured into an abandoned burrow by his prospective victim, Green Eyes, a cat who has long preyed on the prairie dogs in the menagerie in Central park, says the New York Herald, was imprisoned yesterday for many hours through the strategy of Dolphin, their king. Dolphin was the only prairie dog on the surface when Green Eyes looked about for further prey. Frightened by the arrival of the cat, Dolphin's subjects sought shelter in their subterranean homes. Apparently unconscious of his peril, Dolphin remained on a knoll, watching the cat. Suddenly darting forward, Green Eyes made an attempt to seize his victim. The latter, however, dodged the cat's attack and ran to the other side of the inclusion, followed by Green Eyes. Then began a chase which lasted for more than five minutes and ended by the disappearance of Dolphin. The burrow bidron just as he was apparently about to be caught by his pursurer. Green Eyes hesitated a few seconds and then started to squeeze his body through the entrance of the burrow. F. A. Lucas of the Brooklyn Institute museum, writing to Science on the swallowing of stones by seals, says: "So far as I am aware, no satisfactory reason has been advanced for the swallowing of stones by seals, and this statement may probably be extended to other animals. "They are not taken in for ballast, for the empty seals keep down as easily as the others; they are not swallowed for the purpose of grinding up food, they occur in the stomachs of nursing pups; they are not to allowiation caused by parasitic snails since they are found together; they are not taken in with food, not merely because they are found in the stomachs of young seals, in those adults that have fed on squid caught in the open sea. On page 68 volume III., 'Report of Fur Seal Investigation', it says: "It is evident that these things are swallowed hapaphed in the selected care from among the articles strewn along the shore, and that a preference is exhib- Queen Kapolani, a noble looking chieftainess of the island of Hawai'i, was one of the first converts to Christianity. She was over six feet tall, a magnificent specimen of Hawaiian womanhood, with the 'hanguity air of the ancient nobility, with the power over her fellow countrymen and resolved on becoming a Christian, if possible, to break the hold of grinding and degrading superstitions which had long enslaved them. She knew that in no other way could she do this so well as by defying Pete, the goddess of the sea, and had her abode in the very crater itself. Her approach and her defiance were most dramatic, for she wished to impress. her awe-stricken subjects with the powerlessness of Pete and the omnipotence of the true God. Slowly and in state she made her way up the mountainside, while the people, trembling and frightened by her presence, the priestess of Pete warned her away, but she kept The chestnut contains less water, more protein, more starch, more fat, but less mineral water than the potato. The chestnut is, in fact, more nutritious than the potato, says the London Lancet, not because it contains different constituents, but because weight for weight it contains a greater proportion of fat. The potato is in fat as made up in the potato by a bat of nuttier, in the chestnut there is already an important proportion of fat. The chestnut, however, is the most digestible of nuts, because it does not contain an excess of fat. Most nuts contain between 50 and 60 per cent of fat. Both the chestnut and the potato provide a nutritive meal, rich in heat and energy-giving material, and the starch in them is peculiarly easy of digestion. The chestnut is dietetically superior to the potato, especially if the latter be boiled, as in the process some of the nutrient ma- Probably few Americans realize that the man in the United States railway mail service is far more likely to lose his life than the soldier in Uncle Sam's regular army. Cold figures which have appeared in two official reports of the government prove absolutely that he is. Within the year ending June 30 last only twenty-four of Uncle Sam's soldiers, in all the 65,000 on regular or letached duty, were killed in action. Twenty-one men were killed on duty in the railway mall service; only four additional soldiers wounded so severely that they died or were obliged to leave the service on account of these wounds. In the railway mall service ninety men were seriously hurt while on duty, besides the twenty-one men killed. To make the showing still more surprising, 278 mail clerks were injured more severely. $2.40 PER YEAR. Small and slim, he finally succeeded in making his way inside the subterranean chamber. Witnesses of his attack of Dolphin stood in front of the inclurement for half an hour waiting for him to reappear, but he did not come out of the burrow. They were surprised soon afterward to see Dolphin poke his head cautiously out of a burrow which evidently connected with the underground chamber into which he had lured the cat. After surveying the village with keen eyes, Dolphin came out of the burrow and in response to his sharp barks other priarie dogs left their homes to come to the surface. While they were perched on knolls late in the afternoon faint cries issued from the entrance of the burrow which Green Eyes had entered. They were followed by the appearance and then of his companion, the squeezed and buried burrow. His body was covered with dirt, and he had evidently been compelled to dig his way out of his prison. Without making an attempt to attack the priarie dogs, he hurried from the village. ited for rounded objects. This is shown by the fact that, as a rule, only articles of one kind are found in one stomach, although seals do not discriminate between fragments of barnacles and fragments of gastropods. "Moreover, pebbles of serpentine and chalcedony are now and then found on the hauling grounds, under conditions indicating that the pup was in the water, while the pup seen gathering pebbles on Lukaina did so with great care, by no means taking the first that came to hand. The most striking example of this discriminative selection is, perhaps, shown by the pup which had swallowed a buckshot while the chance of finding such a thing must be at a guess about one in a million. "Furthermore, it may be said that as the fur seal regurgitates bones and other indigestible things, so by the time the pup comes from time to time. That there is any connection between the presence of stones and the presence of a gizzard does not follow." on, undaunted. On the edge of the crater a shelter had been built, where she passed the night, within sight and smell of the seething, boiling hell of fire. In the descending she rose, descended into the crater as far as it was possible to go, and, standing upon the "black edge," in full view of the amazed spectators, who expected every minute to see her scorched and wished by the angry goddess, she deliberately ate a bunch of ohelo berries, which, as sacred to the goddess, one had hitherto dared to touch, and fung the stones into the awful fury lake as she cried out: "Thus do I defy thee, O Pole! Jehovah is and God. He kindles these fires and he preserves me in making our table." Then, by herself and a few Christian followers, hymn of praise was sung a prayer, offered to the true God, and the dread power of the Goddess Pele, and with her that of many lesser heathen divinities, was shattered forever. terials are lost. In the cooking of both the chestnut and the potato by baking the effect is much the same as by boiling; the natural water of the nut and of the tuber is partly expelled as steam which swells or cooks the starchy particles. Chestnut lose but little of their nutritious value when boiled, but they are best baked or roasted, as dietetically also is the potato. It is aptly that the chestnut is not appreciated in this country as it is in France, where the peasant find it a very sustaining and agreeable food. There are enormous quantities of food in the shape of chestnut wasted in this country and yet it is a particularly economical form of food, for a given area of ground, it is stated, produces the maximum amount of food possible when it is planted with chestnut tree leaves, and chestnut leaves with his red-hot tea tray conveys a lesson which might be taken more seriously than it is. If one compares the strength of the corps of a few thousand clerks with the 65,000 men in the regular army we will find that the percentage of fatalities in railway mall service is much higher than in active army duty. It is probable, too, that disease takes off a greater number of railway clerks in proportion than it does soldiers. This includes the army in the Philippines, where there is always more or less trouble. It does not include the three army officers killed, but they would still not change the fact that mall clerk service is more dangerous than active life as a soldier of Uncle Sullivan. All "peace hath her victories no less renowned than those of war" she also has her dangers no less numerous. Has any congressman thought of pensioning maimed and disabled mall clerks or the widows and orphans they leave? Probably he has, but if we remember rightly it has not been done HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

It has been urged against the Afro-Americans of the South that they do not pay their poll tax which is a consequence for the exercise of franchise, but a special to the New Orleans Times-Democrat from Clinton, La. august. The number of poll taxes paid in East Feliciana parish for the year 1904 was 2,179, of which 1,427 were Afro-Americans and only 752 were white and of these latter 96 were paid by service on the jury." The Afro-American wishes to be a good citizen, and obey the laws, and help make them, and help enforce them, and enjoy the benefits that should come to every good, law abiding citizen and does not object to suffering the penalties for any infraction of the laws, but this is just what the whites of the South are not willing to accord. And yet they wonder that the sensible Afro-Americans object to such treatment on their part. They always try every way but the right way in their dealings with their Afro-American brothers; Is it wonderful they don't succeed? The Chicago Chronicle says Thomas Jefferson's declaration: "We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created equal, etc." will be true some time, as it is the corner stone of our liberties. The Chronicle says: "Jefferson's self-evident maxim must be taken, therefore, as a prophecy and an aspiration. He meant only that human governments should leave the way wide open for the most insignificant men to climb up to an equality with the loftiest, that the policy of governments should be to assist them in the ascent and that a free country will always look forward to the equality of all men as its goal and as the perfection of human institutions. "We are inclined to stand by Thomas Jefferson and the declaration of independence. What he wrote will be true some day." Why is it not true now? Mrs. Georgia DeBaptiste Faulkner, formerly of Chicago but now residing in Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, in a letter received recently by a Chicago student, pledged to the climate of Liberia is delightful. It is rarely too warm for comfort, and never too cold. The country, too, is beautiful. Nature has been prodigal of her gifts, and the country is as nature formed it. Mrs. Faulkner is first assistant in the Liberia College, while her husband, Dr. Faulkner, is kept busy as physician, surgeon, dentist and pharmacist. They have a nice home, and they are proud to their teachre, republic, the members of the cabinet, and the members of the diplomatic corps. Although they have been abroad less than two years, Mrs. Faulkner has been permitted to see some of the fruits of their labors. Boys who came to her naked and unable to understand a word of English, she has clashed and taught, and now they understand and speak English well, and are modest, proud and kind. There are about 5,000 people in Monrovia, all except 1,500 being natives. The 1,500 civilized people live in comfortable homes, have churches and schools, shop, visit, entertain, etc., just as civilized people do the world over, and the natives live in their own fashion. The Liberian descendants of the original settlers from the United States and those who have gone over in recent years are prosperous intelligent people, but the native element is so great in the majority that there is a large field for missionary work. The Seven Ages Up-to-Date. The stork disappears, and we look into the cradle and behold a male child. After running the gawlet of measles, mumps and chicken pox he enters school. At the age of ten he is a redhead, frecked-faced boy, and the terror of the neighborhood. He occupies an in-writing office. At eighteen he has acquired two cases of long primer and an army press, and is the editor of a country newspaper. At twenty he is married. At thirty he is bald-headed, stoop-shouldered and the father of a large family. At thirty-five he is a corpse in a cheap pine coffin, and as 500 deliveries subside he are heard to say, "He was a good fellow, but he couldn't save his money." FEEDING ANIMALS IN WINTER. Squirrels and Rabbits Most Quickly Become Pets. Of the animals that we can coax about our houses, the gray squirrels become most friendly. Put nuts in convenient places and they will make frequent trips for supplies, but only on comparatively mild days will they remain long outside their comfortable winter quarters, where they usually have plenty of food stored. In Central park, New York, the gray squirrels have become so accustomed to being fed that they have to a great extent, given up storing food, and rely chiefly on what they can pick up each day. Red squirrels can be coaxed by means of food, but they are very questionable fellows; in fact, the general opinion is that severely injured squirrels are unlikely for eggs and young birds. Chipmunks bibernate in their underground homes, so we cannot count on them for winter visitors. The cotton-tail will condescend to accept dainties in the form of green vegetables (though one seldom has such luxuries in the winter), but, as he comes almost entirely at night, he is not a very interesting guest. LAUGH TURNED ON SURGEON. Hic Effort to Impress Students Was a Distinct Failure. A famous German surgeon, a pompous man, who loved to impress his patients and students with his importance, was lecturing to his students one day when a workingman entered the room. The surgeon stopped him by a gesture and ordered his class to sit down and listen to one of the students, "what is the matter with this man? From here you should be able to make a correct diagnosis simply by looking at the man's face, his bearing and the contour of his head." Mr. X. Mr. Y and Mr. Z having failed to make any diagnosis whatsoever the professor triumphantly declared: "You ought to be a doctor, you ought to be deaf and dumb." He forgot to mention that he himself had frequently seen the patient. Then the patient spoke up: "No, your excellency, it is my brother who is deaf and dumb. But he looks very much like me." Indian Loved Holy Book North and south, east and west, the Bible society sows; and that no ground is too barren for its seed surely the following true incident proves, says a writer in Everybody's. A Cree Indian and his son, fishing in the northwest some years ago, during the winter season, traveled on snowshoes across the plains, thinking they carried what is called the "Book of Heaven" in their pack. When they reached a hunting ground, however, 140 miles distant from the fishery, they found the book had been left behind. The author of the book went back on his trucks, walking in four days 280 miles through the wild, bear-infested forests to regain that Bible. Her Photograph.

A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Whitaker Rad. Two volumes. $v.o. Net. $45. By Railroad. $v.o. Yr. G.P. Putnam's Sons. Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question, from the early days of the 13th century, to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction. Whitaker Redd with the Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- strategists Von Molk. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolting crucibles of the Revolution were again throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon III wanted it, the great bourgeoisie looked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a prince. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have Mr. Reid says: "This Political History is written with the fullness of knowledge that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the entire range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, in the papers of President Hayes and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the period, and in constant personal communication with some of the actors." Again: "As time goes on fuller justices will be done, in the history of the movements by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and to leading men that relied upon typical Anglo-Saxon means for the correction of wrongs and the better development of Anglo-Saxon institutions;—to Horace Greenley first among public educators, to Chase and Sevaric, Station and Welles, his among legislators and cabinet ministers, and finally to the peer, if not the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list. Abraham Lincoln." In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that slavery was depreated by the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, refrained from inserting in that great charter a name so repulsive to freedom. We must conclude that they were percipient witnesses to the public sentiment of that day. There was no state free from the taint of slavery and the feeling that it was injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectional lines. Its ultimate extinction was generally confidently expected: emancipation was to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhibition of the African slave trade, emancipation would have followed in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because it was a violation of the rights of an impotent as his, or succumbed to the violence of political forces; while that having been an important part of the creation of a third party. The Society of Friends led all other denominations in the employment of the priesthood. Lloyd Lord Benjamin, Lloyd Munster, Moral influence for the eradication of the outspoken utterances in the *P-esyterian*, Baptist and Methodist churches at an important in India, Kentucky and Tennessee. "Some years ago one who had been conscious as a leader in the anti-slavery contest endeavored to show the injustice that the clergy should be the only man with the genesis of modera abilitism, and thereupon a controversy sprang up in Osborne was entitled to be styled the first of the first. I am concerned that the clergy has the writer who challenged the truth of history," clearly established the claims of Osborne to be mentioned before either Lund or Garrison, but strangely over-the-局 of the clergy. The clergy was strikingly like that of Lundy—John Woolman, a Friend, who was born in New Jersey about 1720. Then follows an account of his early life and career, exceed- the first of his life and the first of his life—when the�ententments—when about 26 years of age he visited North Carolina where he sought to arouse the consciences of slave-holders and the so-called "feasies" in a sideration on the Keepers of Negros. After his death in 1772, his journal, which was published, had a wide circulation. It shows that his life was given to the�, a�endipation. He traveled from colony to theolore, preaching remons-scating and counseling. The author discusses with painstaking detail of the "Free Soil Movement." The "Suburb, Blvd," "Residency, Disillusion, Compromise," "The Nomination of Lincoln," and in their discussion exhibits a wealth of information and breadth of knowledge which could only result from many years of study and practice with the leading men of those stirring times.

By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, 8 vol. Pp. 421. $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbs Merill Co. The war of '61-5 will never cease—at least in the present generation, to be a several and never falling topic of absorbing interest. This is so, because it was a war of giants; because many of those giants still survive its vicissitudes; its "hair breadth escapes, and the imminent deadly breach": its long and dreadful marches; its Gettysburg and Chickamaugas; because the finale of that conflict profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still reemerate in all the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read with profit: by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has hitherto remained unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. The translator has performed the difficult translation of the grammatical and pointed style of all French prose, and of art which Lissagaray appears to have learned from the author never to close chapter of this book to extract happenings. Of 1811 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility—the culmination of a criminal torpor that had been suppressed, followed swiftly upon the heels of the publication of the French by the wonderful author. strategists Von Molke. Imagine this book of one might easily imagine that the revolting crucibles of the Revolution were again throughout the country, and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war in Germany are thus described by the author: "Bismarck prepared the war, Napoleon III, wanted it, the great bourgeoise looked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented to the price of the price, says war war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have united the Left, the tiers-parti, the journalists have made palpable to them the folly of the attack, and supported by this length of action, having said, the Tulieries, to Paris if he needs be, "War impossible; we shall combat it as treason." "Poor France! Who will save thee? The humble, the poor, those who for six years of service for the world, the Empire. "While the upper classes sell the for a few hours of rest, and the liberals seek to feather their nests under the empire, a handful of men, without arms, unprotected, rise up against the still all-respected�. On the one hand young men who for the boy, the men who over to the people, faithful children of 1783, resolved to continue the work of the Revolution; on the other hand workingmen unite for the study and conquest of the rights of labor. In vain the empire attempts to split their forces, to secure the workingmen." The author then follows up with a description of the terrific political struggle between the contending factions which have just forth in all the horrors of the Commune. Paris, Marselles, Toulouse and Narbonne are be converted into vertable human slaughterhouse to struggle which for madness and unchecked violence finds few counterparts in the many new events—that is events which have hitherto been obscure to the student body. In the family of the author, in his work which consider the author a literary or historical viewpoint is achievement of no inconsiderable merit. MONEY. BANKING. AND FINANCE. Bobles's MONEY.

Bernard Lazare 82, Cloth gift top. 12. New York 884. Cloth gift top. 12. New York 884. Cloth gift top. 12. New York Recent events in Russia have given this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the odium that is implied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is historical. In successive chapters the relations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps the reader will be most surprised to hear how much of prosly he has carried on, probably between the Hebrews and their neighbors. From this has resulted a greater mixture of race than Jews would, perhaps, willingly admit. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded up on language, shape of the head or color of the skin. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that races are distinct and that there is superiority on the one part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be trouble between Jews and Gentile as well as these be blocked with white. There are too many illustrative examples of this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising here. FORMS OF ENGLISH POETRY.

For the Benefit of a Worthy Cause Which for Good Reasons Cannot Be Granted The ladies of the Twin Cities are preparing for a grand Charity Ball for an object, which, while very worthy, must be kept a secret. The ball will be given at Forresters' hall, corner 15th and Franklin avenues, Minneapolis, on Wednesday, February 1st. The affair is in the hands of a capable committee of arrangements of which Mrs. Z. A. Pope is chairman. Among the patronesses are: Mrs. V. F. Weir, Mrs. Wm. Gillispie, Mrs. H. Coulter of Minneapolis; Mrs. F. L. McGhee, Mrs. J. Q. Adams, Mrs. J. H. Loomis of St. Paul. The invitations will be issued early next week. This is to be a strictly society event and promises to be the event of the season. More concerning the matter will appear in our next issue. Handy Thing.

EXAMINING THE DOCTORS. Partially Educated Physicians Monaco Health of the Public. Medical examinations in this state are strict, but not severe, says the Philadelphia Times. Certainly no person should be allowed to take human life into his hands unless he was able to answer the few questions that are asked, and yet those who fail consider their fate a personal hardship. They probably forget the interests of the people they would practice upon, if allowed to hang out their signs. Consider for a moment that in many other states in this country young men enter at once into the practice of medicine from imperfectly managed schools which turn them out in short order. If put to the Pennsylvania test, they could never practice medicine, but with imperfect educations, with scant training, and as a rule with little natural aptitude for the work, they physic the body and occasionally operate upon it with knives and saws. Considering the thousands of partially educated doctors who are turned upon the country every year, it is wonderful that the longevity of the nation is increasing. Still that may be explained by the fact that most sensible people nowadays are not taking medicine except under compulsion, and many of our best doctors are stronger in demands about food, exercise and fresh air than they are about their prescriptions. The wife of one of the most successful and most noted physicians in this country complained the other day that she never got an opportunity to give her children medicine, except when the doctor was called out of town—Philadelphia Times. ECCENTRIC WILLS. Benjamin Franklin Left a Small Sum Which Is Now Available. When Benjamin Franklin died, in 1790, he left a small sum of money, which was not to be used until the twentieth century. His gift is at last available, and the sum now amounts to $375,000, having been invested at compound interest, says the Pittsburg Press. The trustees of the Franklin fund have decided to use the money for the erection of a Franklin institute in Franklin square, Boston. Curious provisions made by will are more common than one would suppose. Within the last few months, there have been several examples of eccentric disposals of property. To one young woman has been left $25,000 by her brother under the express condition that she neither marries nor becomes a nun. If the conditions are not fulfilled, the money is to be distributed among other relatives. To his three daughters an Italian who recently died single and $2,500 each a year if they married. A late member of the English parliament left by will to his two daughters $720,000, with the provision that the money is only to be payable if they attain the age of 35 years, without marrying either a citizen of the United States or a Hebrew. Almond and Raisin Crop Benjamin H. Ridgely, the American consul at Malaga, answering inquiries from persons in the United States as to the almond and raisin crops in Spain, writes to the state department as follows: "Until after the early spring wind storms it was impossible to give definite information, but now that these storms are over it may be said that the almond crop promises to NOW IS THE TIME to put in a full line of HOME BRAND CANNED GOODS.

But for heavy frosts during early April in the provinces of Malaga and Granada there would have been an unusually large yield. The famous Jodran almonds of commerce are grown exclusively in the province of Malaga and from 125,000 to 130,000 boxes is a fair average crop. 'Valencia' almonds are also a Malaga product, and an average yield would be about 175,000 boxes, which, in addition to the Jordan almonds, would indicate a total crop this year of about 300,000 boxes. Malaga raisins are famous all over the world. At present the production, which has grown smaller some years ago because of the ravages of the phylloxera, is on the increase. A good average crop would mean about 1,200,000 boxes. Last year, owing to the floods and storms, the crop was short many thousand boxes, and in all the commercial history of Malaga there never was known such fluctuation in prices. Merchants as a rule had a bad year and lost large sums of money. This year there is every promise of an abundant crop of fine quality, with good ruling prices." Society's New Game -Siberian Whist. The London Express says that Siberian whist seems to be causing a certain amount of interest among the votaries of bridge, but up to now is not much understood in England, although it is very much in vogue at Constantinople and in Russia. It can be made a much more gambling game than bridge, as, although there is no doubling, as in the former, the players can outbid each other in the making of trumps, and the consequent penalties on the losing of tricks may amount to as, much as 5,000 points. Indeed, it is possible to lose as much with penny points at Siberian whist as at bridge with points at a shilling. HIT THE NAIL STRAIGHT. Philadelphian the Trite Remark Well Expressed the Situation. A well-known minister, in an address, praised the quiet and domestic type of life. "Give me," he said, "the evenings spent at home—evenings around the bright fire, the father and mother absorbed in good books, the children absorbed in innocent games. That is the typical American evening, and I am glad it is so common in the West. In the East, I am sorry to say, it becomes more rare each year. "It was to an advocate of these quiet evenings, a Philadelphian of forty or so, that his gay wife said one day: "John, we haven't chairs enough for our company." "There are plenty of chairs," the man replied, "but too much company." The Castle in Spain. In the midst of the gloaming, While soft dripped the rain, His thoughts fell to building His home. And bright shone the vision With mystical glow: Waits her heart to answer: "Wake! Enter and know!" Ah, the court and the turrets He looked on with joy Were only the farmhouse He loved them a boy; And Prairie danced dwewt there For aye as his bride Waits her heart to answer: Had leaned at his side! And the wine that he ordered His cup-server bring Was a draft from the faithful Oak tree; And the wealth of the Indus That decked his abode Was two darling faeces A trampled shaded! While the music that quivered And thrilled through the keep Was a mother-voice singing Weest children; Thun them in the gloaming, As soft dripped the rain, He found he had learned His castle in Spain. —Youth's Companion. Broke Leg in Catching Fly Broke Leg in Outcitting There have been many cases where ball players in throwing the sphere about have fractured their arms at the elbows or the shoulder, but the records show only one instance where a player ever broke both legs in attempting to catch a fly ball. Umpire King, one of the American league's judges of play, several years ago, while taking part in a game, ran after a foul fly. He misjudged it and in suddenly turning around to make the catch he fractured both knee caps. As a result of this queer accident he was confined to his bed for seven months and never played ball again. Causes of Earthquakes. There are many earthquakes which there is reason to suppose have been caused by those sheering movements of the rocks which produce what geology terms faults. Others are known which appear to have been caused by the sudden dropping or fall of a considerable tract of the earth's surface with the underlying rocks of great, but unknown, thickness. In such cases large areas of the surface, more NOW IS THE HOME CANNED "ECONOMICAL TO BUY."

Stevens, an Irish gentleman, was wont to reward his car driver with a glass of whiskey and gave it to him in an antique glass, which did not cotain as much as cabby wished for. "That's a very quare glass, captain," said he. "Yes," replied Capt. Stevens, "that's blown glass." "Why, captain," says the carman, "the man must have been short in the breath that blew that." Grapes as Diet. Many well-known physicians insist that to eat and repeat the performance three or four times a day will work wonders with thin, nervous anaemic people who are prone to worry and whose digestion is out of order. All we know is that the grape has wonderful gastric virtues and is perhaps the most digestible fruit in existence. FRIGHT WAS TOO MUCH. Thought of Meeting Irate Mother-in-law Killer, Chinaman LAW KNIFED Chinaman. Henpecked husbands are not unknown in China. They have a story there about three henpecked husbands, who met in a secluded spot on the outskirts of the village to discuss their troubles. A bad boy thought it would be fun to play a practical joke on them, so he broke on their deliberations with the dreadful news that the three venerable sisters-in-law—they call married women sisters-in-law in China—were coming down the street, each with a broomstick. Two of the men rushed in terror to the door to see if it were true and, finding that they had been deceived, returned to find their companion undisturbed in his place. As he had always been as timid as any of them they could not understand and resolved to ask the secret of his courage. It was speedily revealed, for when they spoke to him he did not answer. Some Old-Time Recipes Some of the recipes in a quaint old book were intended specially for a "lord's" table. For instance, a pike was to be served whole to a "lorde" but cut in pieces for the "commonalite." Cabbages were to be thickened with grated bread for ordinary people, but served with yolks of eggs for a "lorde." The dishes at this time used at table were either gold or silver for great occasions and wooden trenchers and platters for ordinary use. It was not till the time of Queen Elizabeth that plates of metal and earthenware began to be generally used instead of wood. John Wesley. "The world my parish is"—prophetic word!

Here is a neat passage from "The Napoleon of Notting Hill," in which Mr. Chesterton discussed feminine nature: "However much, physically, 'about town' a woman may be; she still modeles herself on nature; she tries to carry nature with her; she bids grasses to grow on her head and furry beasts to bite her about the throat. In the heart of a dim city she models her hat on a flaring cottage garden of flowers. We, with our noble civic sentiment, model ours on a chimney-mey, the ensign of civilization." Wonders of Flowers. The sensitiveness of plants and flowers to certain conditions of weather and light is such that it is always possible that they may have other properties not yet discovered. There is an American garden, for instance, in which the flowers are so selected that one set closes at each hour of the day. Others only open and shed perfume at night, others curl up and suppress their existence for months, yet will open in a few minutes and put forth buds in a few hours when immersed in water.

In Henry Groville's diary is an interesting account of how Lord Elgin carried $r$ gift of a steam yacht to the emperor of Japan. This was many years before the country was so thoroughly, westernized as it is now. Groville says: "The people seem to be courteous and extremely clean, forming in this respect a remarkable contrast to the Chinese. They appear to be a droll mixture of high civilization and primitive simplicity. As a proof of the former, the power of steam, the electric telegraph, telescope, thermometers and barometers are known and in use, while the latter is shown by ladies being constantly seen tubing themselves at the doors of their houses. The authorities, at first, requested Elgin to retire, but on his refusing and insisting on carrying on to Jeddo the steam yacht he was charged to present to the emperor, they acquiesced with a good grace and showed him every respect and concluded the treaty between Japan and Great Britain without difficulty." TO TELL BUTTER FROM OLEO. Simple Test Which Is Claimed to Be Infallible. The cooking teacher indicated with her wand two dishes, each containing a pat of golden butter. "One is butter," she said. "The other is oleo. I want to show.you a simple and conclusive test for oleo—an easy way of distinguishing oleo and butter unmistakably. Then you need never again be cheated." She put the oleo and the butter in separate saucepans on the fire and let them come to a boil. They boiled in a very different manner—one noisily, with a great deal of spluttering, the other smoothly, giving forth an abundance of white foam. "It is the oleo," said the cooking teacher, "that boils noisily, for oleo is a mixture of grease and water, and like a mixture of grease and water it boils. It is the butter that boils with a soft, silent foaming. A great difference, isn't there? Remember the difference, remember this test and you need never be invigued in the future into buying oleo for butter."—Chicago Chronicle. Benny on the Crocodile. Benny on the crocodile The crocodile is a large animal that inhabits the Nile and loves to go on the sandy beach to bask in the sunshine and lay eggs. It looks some like a dachshund, only there is more of it at the ends and it is bigger. There was a crocodile once that escaped from a circus. It roamed o'er the country, seeking in vain for pigs and small children to devour, and died of starvation in great anguish. You can ride on the back of a crocodile, but it is more comfortable to use a saddle. It is usually quiet, but is terrible when roused. We all ought to be thankful we are not a crocodile. Benny. Would Make Sure About the Soap. A little boy who had been blowing bubbles all the morning, tiring of play, and suddenly growing serious, said: "Read me that theory about heaven: it ith the gloriohorm." "I will," said the mother, "but first tell me, did you take the soap out of the water?" "O yes; I am pretty thre I did." The mother read the description of the beautiful city, the streets of gold, the gates of pearl. He stunned with delight; but when she came to the words, "No one can enter there who loveth or maketh a lie," bounding up, he said: "I gueth I'll go and thee about that thou."—New York Observer.

Why do we wait till eyes are sealed To light and love in deaths deep trance Do we love in death? Above them with impassioned glance? Why do we wait till hearts are still To tell them all the love is ours, And give them such late meed of praise, And lay above them fragrant flowers? How oft we, careless, wait till life's Sweet opportunities are past, And bear our tears outloud "ointment" at the very last?

A mammoth hydrangea bush, which has borne a record-breaking foliage this season, was recently exhibited in Europe. The bush had more than 900 blooms. The highest bloom was 12 feet from the ground, and in diameter the bush was 15 feet. It was planted about sixteen years ago, and has received no more than ordinary care. Its thrifty growth is attributed chiefly to the soil being perfectly adapted. The counting of the blooms was rather a difficult task, as can well be imagined. Locksmith's Ingenious Invention.

By turning the knob in the opposite direction, the door is locked, but can be opened on the outside by the use of a key designed to fit the lock. KABO CORSETS NO BRASS EYELETS Design. Accomplishment.
