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 chosen energetic. The World's Medical Heroes Sighing of the Children John Adams' Stormy Wooing Made Social Exile and Outcast by His Umbrella This is a faithful narration of the adventures of a Newark man who was, for a time, made a social exile, an outcast, by his umbrella. All doors that he approached were closed to him, even those of his home. It happened in this way: The man works hard on Saturdays, late into the night, and when he arises and breakfasts on Sunday he feels the need of out-door air. This air he will have, no matter what the weather. He was seen two or three weeks ago knee deep in the snow, floundering stolidly along, bent on getting his exercise and driving the fag and cobwebs from his brain. But last Sunday it was raining, an icy sleet filled the air, and the man raised his umbrella and the little pellets pattered on it like the rain on the garret roof. After he had gone a mile or so he found that the hand that held the umbrella was getting wet. He was a nervous man and he wondered if he was developing rheumatism or if incident, paralysis, was upon him. The lameness soon extended throughout his arm, even unto the shoulder, and at last the man realized that the umbrella was getting very heavy. But he went on with his walk, since no bodily discomfort could divert him from his constitutional. At last the man could not hold the umbrella in his hand and had to let the shaft rest upon his shoulder. Still he plodded stubbornly on, until he reached the outskirts of the city. Then he thought he would take a car back to his home, and that was when his toes really began. He hung over to a car with his umbrella sagging about his head, his progress much impeded by its weight. He put one foot on the car step and started to let down his umbrella. He wrestled with it until the conductor said some harsh things, gave the motorman the bell and left the man standing in the street wrestling with the umbrella. It had as complete a roof of ice as any Esquimau's house in the farthest North, or anywhere else. The roof glistened as if made of glass. The man exerted all his strength, but the ribs simply bent under the strain and the coating of ice was not so much as cracked. The man strode on for a few blocks, thinking. He came to a little notion store when he sell絮sions and thawed out the umbrella, but after an ineffectual struggle to get inside the door he gave it up and walked on. The situation was getting serious. He tried another place, a harbor of refuge, as it was a Sunday school and the children within were singing joyous hymns that brought him a feeling of comfort, as if he at last he would surely find help out of his odd misfortune. But here again he could not enter. There was a double door and the umbrella simply refused to be crushed through the narrow door space. Further on down the street he came upon two or three children playing on a stoop and he told them he would For the "Hall of Fame" twenty-nine names were selected in 1900, none of which was that of a physician and this year twenty-six more will be named. Among the great men who have influenced American medicine for good and advancement, a cause of medicine can be no doubt with the considerate that medicine has furnished as many as any other calling or profession. Why, then, were medical men excluded? Simply because of the traditional failure on the part of the world to recognize the value of professional life to community. This misunderstanding would be done away with. The Western Medi- (One million seven hundred and fifty thousand and 15 toil in the mines and factories of the United States.)

They were attractive young maidens and in due time had lovers. Mary chose a man after the parson's wish, a man of substance and of standing in the community, Abigail, however, chose John Adams, a young lawyer of the neighboring town of Braintree, much to the parson's chagrin. In the pulpit at the Sunday service the worthy divine gave voice to his opinions in a sermon delivered from Sad Plight of Truly Good Man Forced to Seek Refuge in Den of Iniquity on the Sabbath Day. give them ten cents for a can of hot water. They looked at him as if they thought he was crazy. He raised the ante to a quarter. Then one of the boys asked him if it wasn't a can of beer he wanted. This was too much for the man, for he is strictly temperance, and if he had not been, the thought of patronizing him could have been utterly abhorrent. So he took up his tramp again. The umbrella's weight seemed to increase with every step, until the man felt as if he was literally carrying the roof of his house over his head. He got out his jackknife and tried to scale the ice off, but could not accomplish much, so afraid was he of cutting through the cloth. Once he was on the point of slitting the cover and removing it to throw into the gutter, but a glance at the man saw that there was an inscription on the handle, telling how the umbrella had been presented by a body of grateful employees. The man knew that his whole factory looked to him to carry that umbrella on every stormy day and that to appear at the factory on the next rainy day without it would make talk. He wished the umbrella was anywhere but where it was, and had he been a swearing man he would have cursed the luck that made him take that particular rain shield from the stand in his hallway when he started When he got within a quarter of a mile of his house the umbrella seemed to weigh at least fifteen pounds. He was fairly out of breath and desperate. He knew when he got home he would be no better off than he was out of doors, for he could not get the thing into his house and his house has no areaway along which he might have carried it to the back yard. Just then he saw a gleam of warm light over the green curtain hung in a saloon window. He hesitated. Then his eyes fell upon the sign "Side Entrance." The door was double. He pushed, in fact half fell against it, and both sides fell open. His qualms of conscience were stilled now, and he marched, dragging his icebound-umbrella behind him. The few men in the saloon looked up in surprise when they saw him enter, and there was a faint attempt to escape, for the men recognized him as a prominent church worker and they feared he was out on a litle tour of his own to gather information against violators of the Sunday law. But the man pulled himself together sufficiently to let left sought a warm umbrella, in which to draw out the umbrella, and the barbers and every one else saw that he was much more uneasy than they were, so they let it pass. In less than three minutes the ice slid from the umbrella in Great sheets and the man gave the head bartender a quarter for the muss he had made on the floor.

THE APPEAL. Fur Bearing Animals Whose Pelts Are Sought for the Adornment of Women LYNX. Furs play a most important part in the wardrobe of the well dressed woman of to-day, their natural beauty and their potency in enhancing feminine charms alike endearing them to womankind. Furthermore they serve as a medium for unlimited expenditure of money unaccompanied by the slightest approach to ostentation. A woman may wear furs worth thousands of dollars and give no uncle indication of the costliness of her attire, and at the same time she may rejoice in the knowledge that unless she has deliberately made an unsuitable selection she has added the finishing touch to her costume with her coat, scarf, toque or muff of beautiful fur. Furs are becoming to every woman—and the range from the white of fox and ermine to the deep, rich brown of sable and seal and the lighter hue of squirrel and the glossy black of lynx and Persian lamb gives every wearer an opportunity to secure that fur which will best harmonize with her coloring and particular style. While furs are a general possession of American women, the kind and quality being regulated by the length of the wearer's purse strings, little is known of the habits or the ways of the native habitation of the fur bearing animals. Few wearers bother their heads to trace the steps by which the man and the woman walk, the chinchilla, fox and others of the fur bearing animals are lured from their lairs in America, Europe and Asia to pay tribute to human needs and the demands of civilization. The use of the pelts of fur-bearing animals as covering for the human body is not one of the developments traceable to civilization, for the aborigine knew of and highly valued the warmth giving properties of the skins of their four-footed associate dwellers in forest primeval. The processes that develop all the possibilities of beauty and softness of the pelts, not to mention the manipulations of the dyer, were unknown, however, to the emerald weaver of fur and the exeuse collections that fascinate the eve and tempt the purse in the furiers' windows of to-day tell the story of the progress that has been made in the fur industry with the advance of civilization. Now for a brief reference to the little animals which figure most conspicuously in the fur industry, taking the sable as the leader of the group. A representative of the weasel family, the sable, whose skin commands the highest market price, is found in Asiatic Russia and the fur is in greatest perfection during the coldest month of the year. A really perfect sable is a rare find and an exceedingly high price is asked for such when ARCTIC ARCTIC FOX. WHERE STEVENSON GOT IDEA. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Had Foundation in Real Life. Among weird fiction there are few novels to compete with "The Strange Story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and the story of its inception is almost as strange as the work itself. Stevenson, it appears, had dealings with a man named Samuel Creggan, and did not like him. "He's a man who trades on the Samuel," averred the novelist. "He receives you with Samuel's smile on his face; but every now and then you catch a glimpse of the Creggan peeping out like a white ferret. Creggan's the real man; Samuel's only superficial." Siam's Lost Revenue. Siam is about to pay the penalty of virtuous endeavor. Having closed up all the gambling establishments in the kingdom, which paid a large revenue to the state, the government finds itself sadly in need of funds. Siam has hitherto enjoyed the distinction of having no external debt. The British office who occupies the post of financial adviser, has asked advice from London and Paris with a view to floating in those cities a loan of $1,000,000. The gambling revenue which Siam voluntarily abandoned when she abolished the gaming establishments amounted annually to about 4,500,000 ticals, or $1,600,000. This was what gave Stevenson the first idea for the dual personality of Jekyll and Hyde, but he did not begin to write. One night, however, Mrs. Stevenson, awakened by cries of horror from her husband, and thinking that he had a nightmare, aroused him. He was quite angry. "Why did you wake me?" he asked. "I was dreaming a fine bogey tale." He got up at once and began writing in a sort of fever. His biographer, Mr. Osborne, says that it is doubtful whether the first draft took him so long as three days. Defective Page it is found. An ordinary skin is estimated to be worth from $25 to $100, while $500 is the value that has been set upon one of the finest skins. In order to obtain these much prized skins the sable hunters are forced to undergo terrible privations and many lose their lives in the snow covered wastes in which the sable loves to roam. ship with this fur giver on the part many people.

Formerly the s The home of the sable or marten covers a most extensive territory, including Kamschatka as well as Asiatic Russia and also the northern confines of Canada and the forests of Labrador. The American sable or river marten is about the size of a large house cat, though stealing much lower on account of the shortness of the legs. The length of the head and bcdy is about a foot and a half and the tail is very full and bushy. The home of the pine marten is about the same size, though by preference it seeks the hollow of a tree, frequently disposessing a squirrel its from its burrow by driving or devouring the rightful occupant. The fur of the American sable is gray spotted with black, and, while it is highly valued, it is much less costly than the rich fur of the Russian sable. The fur of the Arctic fox is worn extensively in winter, particularly by the debutante and the schoolgirl. This is one of the most beautiful and at the same time the smallest of the foxes, the pelt being silky and a blush or brownish gray in summer and pure white in winter. The tail is also brown and the ringing of the animal extends even to the sides of the feet. The Arctic fox is found in Labrador and Newfoundland and throughout the Arctic regions of North America and also in FOX. Siam's Lost Revenue. Siam is about to pay the penalty of virtuous endeavor.

Lamson, who was president of the board of foreign missions at the time of his death, used to relate the following in relation to himself: He was called as a pastor over a parish, and was undergoing examination before a council, when the question was asked him, "Do you believe in a hell?" The clerk爷man of the parish sat beside him, and, giving him a nudge, whispered, "Tell them yes; if you don't now you will before you have been here six months." northern Europe and northern Asia and parts of Iceland and Splitbergen.

Then, too, the fur is exceptionally well known, for in days gene by it was Fashion's special favorite, and though its prestige has of late been somewhat dimmed it has by no means been relegated to the background and its cost has been increased 30 to 50 per cent during the past few years. Formerly the seal was to be found as far southward along the Pacific coast as California, but now is concentrated in the vicinity of Alaska. The fur of the seal is nearly black in tone, varying to gray upon the shoulders and reddish brown below. The female is lighter in color than the male and the young of both sexes are a glossy black. Squirrel fur is used extensively for sets, toques, linings and trimming, the gray and white striped variety known as lock squirrel being utilized for lining purposes. The bluish gray skin is the most valuable and the variety known as Siberian mulberry coat, combined with orange vogue during the past few years. Squirrels are found in various sections of the United States and Canada, in Mexico and Guatemala as well as in Europe and Siberia, and at present Germany is actively interested in the business of preparing squirrel fur for the market. The fur of the sea otter, of which certain islets and reefs in Alaska form the hunting ground, is prime at two years of age, although the animal is not full grown until its fourth or fifth year. The mother otter sleeps in the water on her back with her young clasped between her forepares. Frequent attempts have been made by the natives of the islands where the otter abounds to cultivate the animal, but it manifests intense shyness and aversion to man. Among the black furs the skin of the lynx is highly prized for its glossy texture. The lynx of Asia Minor has many jet black spots on the breast, and on the thighs the fur grows in tufts that suggest wings. The southern Lynx of the old world and the varieties that have been discovered in North America should be ranged under one species, as after an examination by experts of the skins of each no difference can be detected. In the category of the fur bearing animals are some not mentioned nor pictured here, but those portrayed represent the principal ones from which American maids and matrons derive the most decorative accessories of their attire for winter. A KIOWA BALL DRESS. Robe Worn by Savage Woman Is of Immense Value. Mr. L. C. Reisner of Lancaster, Pa., is the owner of an Indian woman's buckskin dress trimmed with elk teeth, which is believed to be one of the most valuable garments of this sort now in existence. Over 1,500 elk tusks cover this squaw dress, and most of them are good specimens. They represent, of course, the death of not less than 750 bull elks. It is not known where all the elks were obtained. The garment was finished in 1874, and was used as a state robs for the wife of Little Boy, chief of the Kiwai tribe. It became one of the state robes of that people, and after the death of the chief's wife, was worn by Kiowa Anna, reigning belle of the tribe. It was lost by the Kiwas in a skirmish with another tribe. Chief Lone Wolf, its next owner, gave it to his wife, Ida Lone Wolf, who sold it three years ago to an Indian collector, who in turn sold it to Mr. Reisner. There is perhaps no ball dress of America which has a longer and more authentic history, nor is there any ball dress of a white woman which has more value than this savage woman's robe, come down from another day—Field and Stream.

Victim of English Law Evidently Had Not Dined Only Lacked Two Ciphers There is a prominent family in New York that has a blot on its escutcheon in the form of a black sheep. When he was in good standing he belonged to several of the smartest clubs and enjoyed all the respect that the name of his family carried with it. He was a "high-roller" in those days, but no one gave a thought of questioning the sources of the income he was spending so liberally. One morning his friends and acquaintances were dumfounded to read that he was a defaulter and had fled the city. Those who knew him well grieved for him, and then, as the years went on, forgot him. He had dropped completely out of the world that once knew him. But he came back. And this is the story of his recrudecence: On one of the recent bitterly cold nights a Wall street broker and clubman was walking up Fifth avenue. As he neared Fort-second street a disreputable-looking man in ragged clothes shambled up alongside of him and begged for "the price of a bed." The Wall street man paid no attention to the supplicant, but walked on. At Fort-second street he was hallowed for a must of passing carriages and hammons. Then he heard his name pronounced by a faltering voice, turning sharply, he encountered the beggar he had ignored a few moments before. "How did you know my name?" the Wall street man inquired. "Why, I used to belong to your club on the street," the beggar replied. "I thought you wouldn't mind helping an old club fellow out of a hole like this." "Who are you?" asked the Wall street man. The beggar mentioned his name. It was the black sheep came back. "Good God!" ejaculated the other. "How did you ever come to be in such a state as this? You're sick, man. You'd better come home with me." He waved his hand at a cruising cabman and when the hansom came to the curb he bundled the shivering man into it, jumped in after him, and gave the driver his home address in one of the finest residential streets in the city. When they reached it he gave directions to the butter to serve the best meal he could in the library in half an hour. Then he took the black sheep The danger to the accused in a case in which a prejudiced judge sits, and the evidence is all circumstantial, is illustrated in the records of a case in London in which there was no evidence to support the charge against the accused except that bearing an opportunity to have committed the crime. The defendant was Eliza Fanning, 21, gentle, virtuous and beautiful, and a daughter of respectable parents. She was employed as a servant in the family of a stationer in Chancery lane, and in March, 1815, was committed to Newgate on the charge of administering poison to her master and mistress in dumplings made by her. The fact that she also had eaten of the dumplings and had been made ill by them, had no weight with the judge; also that she had made no effort to conceal evidence in the presence of the poison in the dish in which the dumplings were served, it having remained unashamed, who found amused in it in large quantities. Testimony favorable to the girl was excluded, the jury found her guilty and she was condemned to death. Congressman Adams, at a dinner to Senator Knox at the Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia, spoke of the exhilarating and cheering effect of good food. "Once there was a poor smith," he said, "who wished to marry a rich farmer's daughter. The smith was robust, with hard and sinewy hands, and the girl loved him. But no doubt that he asked the question that would her father think of such a match?" "Truly, it was not likely that her father would consent. He was a rich man, and the girl was his heirs, while, as for the young smith, he had, despite his good heart and his industry, a slow, dull mind that would quite preclude him from ever making a name for himself in the world. "Before visiting the farmer, the Simple Bill Peters fell on the ice sidewalk last winter and sprained an ankle. His wife took matters into her own hands and sued the town for $1,000 damages. The town authorities tried every way to settle the case out of court, with as little as possible pence, but she had all her friends even if Bill hadn't. She was bound to even if Bill hadn't. She was to law. The selectmen finally invigored Peters away from his watchful spouse and got him into their room. When he entered, he saw a line he home for home, waving a paper. S2.40 PER YEAR.

To the room he brought clean socks, clean underwear, a suit of his own clothes, shoes, shirt, collar and tie, and told his visitor that when he was dressed he was to join him in the library. The black sheep, looking something like his old self in the Good Samaritan clothes, told his troubles and his hardships over the cigars. He said he had returned to New York to life anew, but he had not a dollar in the world. His story was pathetic in the extreme, and affected his old friend. "I'll tell you what you'd better do," the Wall street man said at length. "Sleep here to night, and in the morning, after you get a shave and a haircut, go and see my doctor. Tell him to fix you up and then come down to the office. I think I can find something for you." With that they parted for the night. After breakfast the next morning the Wall street man gave some money to him and then wrote his doctor's name and address on his card with a line of introduction, asking the physician to "fix his friend, the bearer, up." He signed it "Yours hurriedly." About 11 o'clock the black sheep turned up at the doctor's office. The doctor was not in, and the caller sat down to await his call. The physician came in about 11:40. He read the message on the card and shook his visitors hands heartily. "Glad to meet you," he said. "Always glad to meet a friend of Jim's. What can I do for you?" He noticed his visitor was nervously watching the clock. "Why, Mr. Dash wanted me to go to Boston for him on a special errand, and as he didn't have his check book with him he wanted to know if you would give me a hundred dollars, so I could leave on the noon train." The doctor looked at the clock. It was 11:45. "Certainly," he said. He pulled out a pocketbook, counted the desired amount out and shoved it across the table to his caller. "I'll have a receipt for this——" the black sheep said. The doctor interrupted him with, "Nonsense; I don't want a receipt. You'd better run for it if you want to make the train." The black sheep did. Her case created a popular furore. Petitions signed by thousands be besought the throne for mercy. All intercession proved futile, and Eliza Fanning was taken to the scaffold. In the last solemn moment she declared her innocence, in the name of "the just and Almighty God, and by the faith of the holy sacrament I have received, robed in white, between two old offenders. As the sun fell on her the turbulent crowd likened her to an angel. When the curtain had fallen on the tragedy the house of the public prosecutor was mobbed and his person was protected only by the presence of troops. A great popular demonstration took place at the funeral. Six young females clad in white walked by the body. Ten thousand people followed it to the grave, and along the route every window was filled and every houselock crowded.

Glenn of North Carolina has received a letter purporting to come from Mrs. Ida Hales, white, on whose testimony Walter Partridge is under sentence to be hanged at Fayetteville April 6 for a criminal attack on her. She declares her testimony at the trial, fixing the crime on Partridge, was false and that she was paid $10 for it. She says that Partridge was not within three miles of the scene at the time, and she is anxious for an opportunity to right the wrong she has committed. The governor has ordered an investigation. There are many similar cases and many innocent Afro-Americans have been lynched for crimes they did not commit. The appointment of Col. Harry S. New of Indiana as vice and acting chairman of the Republican National Committee is especially pleasing to the Afro-American Republicans of the country who regard him as a staunch friend of the race and a man of the Roosevelt order—one who is willing at all times to accord to every man a "square deal." Should a proposed amendment to the civil code of France become a law married people must love each other or the one who feels that the love of his or her mate is not up to the legal standard may call in a gendarme and have the offender arrested. We often hear the slang phrase: "He's a Bird"—well, according to Prof. Samuel Williston, professor of paleontology in the University of Chicago, we will all be birds in something like 3,000,000. The resignation of Park Agnew as collector of Internal Revenue for district of Virginia is very pleasing to the Afro-Americans of that state. Park is a "lily white" in politics. [Name not provided] HON. HARR Y S. NEW, Acting Chairman Republican National I Committee. M. H. HON, GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, Retiring Chairman Republican National Committee. NEW, THE CHAIRMAN. Postmaster General Relinquishes the Position Owing to Official Duties. Col. Harry S. New of Indiana has been designated by Postmaster General Cortelyon as vice chairman of the Republican National Committee. Mr Cortelyon will at once resign his position as chairman of that committee and Col. New will be the acting chairman till the next national convention assembles. The appointment takes effect at once. This was finally decided upon Monday at a conference in which Mr. Cortelyou and Col. New participated, and ends a controversy that has been in progress ever since it became known, two or three weeks ago, that Mr. Cortelyou intended to sever his connection with the committee. Questions of policy affecting the national committee were doubtless discussed during the afternoon. In the evening Col. New, who came to Washington at the request of the Postmaster General, was Mr. Cortelyou's guest at dinner. The appointment is not to be interpreted as a victory for any of the recognized Presidential candidates, or as having any significant significance. It is known that Col. New intends to preserve a strictly neutral attitude. He owes the appointment to the influence of none of the avowed candidates. The choice is certain to meet the approval of party men generally. The national committee headquarters have been in Washington since last November, and will remain there, in all probability, for some time. Mr. Elmer Dover, the secretary of the committee, will continue in charge of the routine work. It will, therefore, be unnecessary for Col. New to spend much time in Washington because of his duties as chairman. The incoming chairman is very popular, and personally no member of the national committee has had aught to say against him. Whatever strife there has been arose from other considerations. Although comparatively a young man, being forty-seven years old, Col. New is a practiced hand in politics. He has been twice elected as member of the national committee from Indiana, and was chairman of the Western executive committee, having served as Chicago headquarters in the last Presidential campaign. His father, Hon. John C. New, long owner of the Indianapolis Journal, was Treasurer of the United States, and later consul general at London under President Harrison. Col. New has been engaged in newspaper work and business enterprises all his mature life, and was one of the candidates to succeed Mr. Fairbanks in the United States Senate when the latter had been nominated for Vice President. He is highly esteemed in his own State, where his appointment to the head of the national committee will be warmly commended. He has been an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt, who is one of his staunch personal friends. The late Chairman Hanna held Col. New in high regard as one of his most valuable political lieutenants. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. VIRTUE OF PEAT BATHS. Discovery Made by Poor Peasant on the Coast of Finistere. The discovery of the value of peat baths was made accidentally many years ago. On the coast of Finistere there lived at one time a very poor family. The father of the family eked out a scanty living by killing aged cattle and divesting them of their skins. The remains he sold to tanners and refiners. Of the three children which belonged to this couple one was a poor creature, delicate and wretched, and apparently anti-witted. The mother was so ashamed of this offspring that [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. M. H. sne could not bear to have the child in her sight. Consequently he spent most of his time, half clothed and badly fed, rolling about in the pent hogs which were behind the cottage. Little by little it was noticed that the child was improving in health, that his skin was becoming as fair and soft as a peach, his eyes bright and his spirits and actions those of a strong, healthy boy instead of a half-witted little animal. The old country physician on one of his rounds noticed the improved condition of the boy and mentioned that fact and the cause at a medical conference in Paris.—New York Herald. hopes closed with mud a wafer.

This seal opened by dry heat no What "So Long "You may have won how the slang, expire --- PERSONALITY OF "AUTOCRAT." Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes Described by One Who Knew Him. Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis writes of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Physically, he was a Very small man, holding himself erect—his face insignificant as his figure, except for a long obstinate upper lip ('left to me,' he said one day, 'by some ill-conditioned great-grandmother'), and eyes full of a wonderful fire and sympathy. No one on whom Dr. Holmes had once looked with interest ever forgot the look—or him. He attracted all kinds of people as a brilliant, excitable child would attract them. But nobody, I suspect; ever succeeded in being familiar with him. I remember one evening that he quoted one of his poems, and I was forced stupidly to acknowledge that I did not know it. He fairly jumped to the bookcase, took out the volume and read the verses, standing in the middle of the room, his voice trembling, his whole body thrilling with their meaning. 'There! he cried at the end, his eyes flashing, 'could anybody have said that better? Ab:h' with a long in-drawn breath of delight as he put the book back." TWO MEN AT ONE SPADE. Method of East Indian Coolies Divides the Labor. At hill stations in the Himalayas, India, coolies are employed unceasingly in the care of the snake-like roads which wind round and round the sides of the hills. Their method of working provides a novelty to one accustomed to the methods of laborers at home. When digging, two men work at one spade, a rope being attached to the lower end of the wooden shaft, and pulled by one coolie to assist the other in lifting after the latter has filled the spade. The work is done very rapidly, so much so, indeed, as to justify the employment of two men at one spade; but it has a decidedly comical appearance, and reminds one of a clockwork toy.—Pearson's Weekly. It is often very desirable to know how to seal a letter so that it cannot be opened without betraying the fact. Steam or hot water will open enve- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a necklace, looking slightly to the side.] joops closed with mucilage and even a wafer. A hot iron or a spirit lamp dissolves sealing wax, an impression in plaster having been taken of the seal. By the combined use of water and sealing wax, however, all attempts to open the letter otherwise than by force can be frustrated. All that is necessary is to close the letter first with a small moist wafer and to pierce the latter with a coarse needle (the same applies to mucilage), whereupon sealing wax may be used in the usual manner. This seal can neither be opened by dry heat nor by moisture. What "So Long" Means "You may have wondered, perhaps, how the slang expression, 'so long,' came to be so generally used," said a Columbia college lecturer the other day. "It is usually used in closing a conversation, and is simply a form of good-by. The Norwegians brought it to this country. In that land of the midnight sun, 'saa laeng' is a common form of farewell. It means the same as the 'au revoil' of the French. Among the early settlers in America were many Norwegians, and the phrase was picked up from them. They pronounce it with the 'g' softened and accompany it by a wave of the hand. Imitation Tides in Great Lakes. The actual tides of a lake are excessively small. Nevertheless, noticeable alterations of level often occur, which were long regarded as mysteries. Recent observations in Switzerland make it certain that in these oscillations are due to differences in air pressure at different points on the lake. If the lake is large enough for the barometer to be high at one end while there is still a low pressure area over the other, water will be forced toward the place where the pressure is lower and an oscillation of level will result. Provided for Pet Alligator. Some twenty years ago a rich South American died who left a considerable sum of money in trust for a pet alligator, which for some years had lived in a small artificial lake which had been made in his owner's grounds for the purpose, the special provision being that his scales were to be cleaned at least twice per annum, and he was to be well fed, and when ill to have the attention of a veterinary surgeon.

Chandler Robbins of Boston, was noted for his wit. One of his best retorts was made in Framingham Center, where forty years ago he was pastor of the Unitarian church. He had heard that a young widow in his congregation was intending again to enter the matrimonial state, and as he knew her very well he broached the subject to her. "Yes," she replied, "I feel that my little son Edward needs a father's care." "Obo!" exclaimed Mr. Robbins, "so you're going to get married to raise Nod!"

A stag, with progressive whist as the main feature, was given at the residence of Mr. W. L. Hardgrave in honor of Mr. J. E Johnson Thursday evening of last week while he was en route for his home. There were plates for fourteen, and the beautifully decorated table was admired by all. Mr. Wm. Miller was toastmaster of the evening, and toasts were responded to by the gentlemen as follows: "Our Wives," Mr. W. L. Hardgrave; "Fair," Mr. Henry Pendleton; "Hospitality of St. Louisians," Mr. W. H. Kirkpatrick; "Our Guest," Mr. W. M. Jones; "Reunion of Alabamians," Mr. Hardy Hartfield, Mrs. J. E. Johnson responded to the toast, "My Impressions of You," and said in part: A city which can boast of citizens equal to the task of managing successfully the greatest of World's Fairs, to make millions of visitors feel at home and comfortable while sojourneying therein, and yet can see and honor one plain citizen, surely can rightly be called a city of great hospitality. If I were a Napoleon and then tailed the French army to conquest. I was a kingling in tomy the army at Wroxhoe to play my credit; if I possessed the military genius of Oryama and won victories for the Mikado and Japan; if I were Iousaint L'Overture and Hayti had risen to call me blessed. I could easily understand a demonstration out of the ordinary. Booth held audiences spellbound by his true portrayal of Richard III. and Julius Caesar; O'Connery swayed millions by his wonderful eloquence and logic; Booker T. Washington has built a Tuskegee and knows how to tell the world how it was done, and his acts commend him to the esteem of thousands and I see why. Kind friends, I stand in your midst a plain, unlanded citizen of the form and for the foot that you take this man to do me honor. I assure you I appreciate to the depths of my heart. I bring no special message to you, but am in a position to realize to the fullest the significance of this act. The hospitality of St. Louisians is widely known and to be a recipient of these courtesies at your hands. I consider my self fortunate. I shall go from you tonight and planted deep in my esteem will be a pleasant remembrance of your cordiality, and shall always feel that something has been left undone until I am permitted to reciprocate your kindness.

The man who can drill his thoughts, so as to shout out everything that is depressing and discouraging and see only the bright side even of his misfortunes and failures, has mastered the secret of happiness and success. He has made himself a magnet to draw friends, cheer, brightness and good fortune to him. Everyone is pleased to see him. His presence is like a sunbeam on a dull day. There is no accomplishment, no touch of culture, no gift which will add so much to the alchemic power of life as the optimistic habit—the determination to be cheerful and happy no matter what comes to us. It will smooth rough paths, light up gloomy places and melt away obstacles as the sunshine melts snow on the mountain side.—O. S. Marden in Success Magazine. Seeking the Large Life. The habit which many women have formed, and from which they apparently do not attempt to secure Freedom, of devoting the larger portion of their time and thoughts to the trivial things of life, robs them of the capacity of enjoyment or assimilating much which would add to intellectual growth. The woman who sees nothing from day to day but the four walls of her abiding place often quite naturally becomes narrow in her thoughts. She even lacks the incentive to communicate with great minds through reading. But interest in that which best serves humanity should not be limited by the lines of sex. As woman's opportunities open she is quick to place herself in touch with all the active forces which make for the betterment of mankind. -Madame. Philadelphia Provincialisms. As a stranger in Philadelphia I was very much amused by certain provincialisms. One of these was the use of the word "off" instead of "from." "Please buy flowers off me," say the youthful street vendors. One day, while waiting for some groceries, as a young lady, evidently unused to housekeeping, approached the raw Irish clerk, and timidly asked: "I want some mutton to make broth. Shall I get it off the neck?" "No, ma'am." was the solemn reply, as the clerk pointed to the butcher busy at his block, "ye git it off that mon."—The Presbyterian. The Lass for Me. The lass wi' gowd is the lass for me, Gowd in plenty and to spare; I'd tak in plenty and to spare In yellow ripples o' her hair, I'd have some siller wi' her, too, thew wi' jingle a' the day; I'd tak it a' when it cam due In laughs that mak' each minute gay.

When the presidential term was considered in 1787 the first report of the committee fixed a period of seven years, declaring against re-election. Some of the states voted for a term "during good behavior." Alexander Martin proposed eleven years, Williamson ten to twelve, Elbridge Gerry fifteen, and Rufus King twenty—"the medium life of princes." King was nothing if not sarcastic. Why the committee decided finally on four years is not on record.

"In one of my voyages from Cape Town to England," writes a traveler, "I shared my cabin with a peculiar man, whose name was Lazarus. He made me promise that if he should die during the voyage I would prevent his burial at sea. He said that on a previous voyage he had fallen sick and was taken for dead and put into a sack for burial. A quartermaster had been put on to watch the body until it was time for the funeral. When the burial party arrived, the quartermaster informed the captain that he thought the body had moved in the sack. The sack was opened and Lazarus eventually came to life again. Such was the story Lazarus told me. Lazarus was a thin man, with a sallow face. He had an enormous appetite and appeared at every meal, to which he devoted his whole energies. The good feeling only seemed to add to his corpselike appearance. One evening, sure enough, when we were about half way to our voyage's end, he apparently died again. The doctors took him in charge this time, however, and he came out of his trance without any shotted-sack episode. He was met at the London docks by a number of relatives and friends, all of whom looked as if they might be suffering from the same complaint." ONE OF LIFE'S PERPLEXITIES. Why People Admire Something Producer Thinks Little Of. He had two lectures. One was dignified, noble, grand, well-pleasing to himself. The other was common, simple, earnest, popular, but thought little of by himself. One of the perplexities of his life was this: Why should the people admire something that he thought little of, and think little of something which he thought so much off? Some thoughts and sermons are for those who create them, and should be kept in a sealed case in the owner's private laboratory.—Earl M. Pratt in "Short Talks." "Glorious Uncertainty of Law." It is said this phrase originated with a London lawyer named Wilbraham, at a dinner of judges and counsel, held at Serjeants' hall, London, in 1756, shortly after the elevation of William Murray—Lord Mansfield—to the lord chief justiceship and a barony. The toast of "The Glorious Memory of King William" having been honored according to the then prevailing manner, Mr. Wilbraham proposed, amid great laughter, "The Glorious Uncertainty of the Law," in sarcastic allusion to Lord Mansfield's frequent reversals of former decisions. Thrown From Train and Unhurt. There was a queer railroad accident in South Africa recently. Instead of running into something the train threw something out. The object thrown out was a white child. The baby was sitting on a table in one of the saloons of an express train. In rounding a sharp curve the child was shot out of the window. The distracted mother quickly stopped the train. Search being made along the line, the youngster was found little the worse for its experience, but crying vigorously. No Chance for a Girl. The accepted masculine attitude was well expressed by the small boy who overheard the conversation of a caller. He was one of four brothers, and the visitor remarked, "What a pity one of your boys wasn't a girl." Dropping his game and thrusting hands in pockets he exclaimed: "Well, I'd like to know who'd 'a ben'er. I wouldn't 'a ben'er, Joe wouldn't 'a ben'er, Ed wouldn't 'a ben'er, and I'd like to know who'd 'a ben'er." Oldest Coin in the World? Oldest Coin in the World. This was discovered by a German archaeologist during his explorations in North Syria. It is a coin of pure silver, bearing a perfect Aramean inscription of Panammu Bar Rerub, King of Schamol, who reigned eight hundred years B. C. The Lydians had always been regarded as the inventors of money, but this new find shows that the Semitic Arameans, who lived two centuries before the Lydians, are the oldest known coiners of money.

This is a soft stone, used by sailors for scrubbing decks, and is said to have got its name because it was originally used solely for Sunday cleaning. Others assert that the first stones used for this purpose were taken from churchyards; while it is also said to get the name from the fact that a sailor has to go on his knees to use it. Besetting Sin of "Gentlemen." All people above the condition of laborers are ruined by excess of stimulus and nourishment, clergy included. I never yet saw any gentleman who ate and drank as little as was reasonable.
