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 correspondence is truthful and enlightened. A Little About Interest America's Men of Letters America's Men of Letters Told of Yankee Skippers Along the Winding Trail Outcast from During the coldest night of the winter John Stink, a full-blooded Osage, was induced to sleep in the office of the Capital hotel. It is perhaps the first time he has spent a night under the roof of a hotel or dwelling house for many years. It is certain that it is the first this winter, despite the exceeding cold. This Indian is a peculiar character, and therefore the reason for his living out of doors. As an Osage, he is possessed of considerable worth, and yet he is the nearest person in the world. He is nearly 50 years old, and has no relatives. He is an outcast among his tribe. He is supposed by his tribesmen to be possessed of an evil spirit, and for this every Indian shuns him as a viper. This antipathy has existed for years, and, as the story goes, has arisen from a burial of John for dead and his coming back to life again. After an illness that lasted for a long time his tribesmen thought he dead and he was buried according to the primitive customs of the Osages. This was to cover the body with Insurance premiums, simple interest and compound interest have received unwonted attention since the spot light of public notice was focused on the possibilities of the vast capital held by a life insurance company controlled by one man. A mathematician has calculated that if one English penny, or two cents American, were put out at 5 per cent compound interest at the birth of Christ it would have amounted by the year 1810, to more money than could be expressed by 357,000,000 globes each equal to the earth in magnitude, all of solid gold of standard quality. But if the penny had been put out at simple interest the amount in the same time would have been only a little over $1.70. Carrying the compound interest figures on the same amount up to the year 1846 gives as a result $1,707,580,840 words of solid gold. Some of the compound interest figures as follows: Every man at fifty years of age who has saved $1.25 a day since he was twenty-one years There is much of what Matthew Arnold styled "excessive Hebraizing" among the Americans; there is much of Phoenician money-making and Phillistine materialism. But they have Hellenic affinities, too, in their love of freedom and novelty, in their open-minded inventive resourcefulness, their boundless curiosity and openness, and their good nature. America has hardly yet begun to produce great art or great literature of her own on her own soil. In literature she achieved more when her population was scant and sparse than she has done since she has attained her present vast dimensions. She has produced no later writers so good as Penimore Cooper and Poe and the early Boston group, Emerson and Hawthorne, Longfellow and Holmes and Lowell, and a critic of own Dr. Van Dyke, says, "The New England nation flowered." The great American nation has not yet reached, perhaps could hardly yet have reached, her flower day. That she will do so ultimate A Machias brig once came on the Irish coast in thick weather, looking for Cape Clear. The captain kept along till noon, when he heard a bell ringing, which rather puzzled him, for it sounded very heavy for a ship's bell, and could hardly be a church bell on shore. Just then the cutter shot out of the fog and asked if he wanted a pilot. "Pilot?" said the skipper. "What do I want a pilot for? I can find my way up St. George's Island without any pilot." "What's that?" said the pilot where you are, captain. That bell is on the floating light off Liverpool! "By ginger!" ejaculated the downeaster. "I've been looking for Cape Clear ever since daybreak and here I've overmanned my reckoning 300 miles!" Curious tales are told of the extent to which the Nantucket and New York skippers kept their minds on their business, regardless of distractions. One of these, who was Banish care and follow after!

His strength returned and he was able to wiggle out from among the stones, and eventually recovered. Since that time no Indian will have anything to do with him.

In England an act was put in force in 1197 forbidding Christians to take interest for money. During the reign of King Henry VIII. there was an enactment making 10 per cent the legal rate, but it was repealed from 1555 to 1558. In the latter year it was reduced to 8 per cent and the word interest was first used instead of usury. ly there can be little doubt.

For that day she may well herself by herself the aid of such teaching as Dr. Butcher conveys in his "Harvard Lectures on Greek Subjects." But, indeed, the eloquent words with which these lectures conclude have a lesson for our race on both sides of the Atlantic, a word at once of warning and of encouragement. "It is the glory of Greek literature that of all literatures it is at once the most artistic and the most popular. And our hope, our best hope for the literature of the future is, that as the democratic mental tends and calls forth enlarged intellective sympathy, the old Hellene humanity may be re-established between that eternal love of beauty on which all art and literature rest, and that love of scientific truth which is the dominant mark of our own age."—The Spectator. caught in a whale's mouth and seriously injured, being asked what he thought when the whale seized him, said he "thought she'd turn out about forty barrels."

Magnificent Costumes Worn at President Roosevelt's Inaugural Ball Millionaires from time to time have given balls so brilliant or so original that they have been the talk of the country from ocean to ocean, but none can compare in size or magnificence the inaugural ball held at the beginning of every administration. When Uncle Sam is host, with the coffers of the United States treasury back of him, no expense is spared. He entertains with the spirit that animates everything American with lavishness. The old Pension building, having the largest floor space of any of the government buildings, is given over for the occasion. Two weeks are required to prepare it for the festivity and again to get it in order for the clerks who will resume work after the holiday. The whole of the Southland is scoured for palms, Southern sunlux and similar greens, while roses and other blossoms are shipped into the capital by the thousand to grace the scene of festivity. Naturally every woman present wants to look her best and wants her friends to know that she did through the columns of the newspapers that will chronicle the affair. Consequently, if she does not wear a spick and span new gown, made for the occasion, she will be more consistently fitting and becoming. So great is the crush that many women fear to wear delicate or perishable fabrics. But the woman of society has many frocks to choose from, and because a gown is not brand new is no reason why it should not be elegant, and the toilet, new or old, with the sparkling jewels worn with them, adds the final touch to the picturesque and unrivalled scene. Every president's wife from time immemorial has thought long and hard over the momentous question. Which should it be, silk or satin, velvet or leather, in color and what the resign? The result has always been an elegant toilet. Mrs. McKinley's gown, with its embroidery of natural grapes and almost priceless lace, cost a neat little sum, running up in the thousands. Mrs. Roosevelt is eminently practical and she did not expend such a sum the vanity of a new gown. It was very elegant, nevertheless. It is said the pattern used to weave the brocade was immediately described in the left loom, for that there was no possibility of its being duplicated. The brocade was of very pale blue, with an almost invisible design of a dove pattern and running through it. It were threads of silver tinsel. The effect was a shimmering silken fabric, shading from blue to silver and from silver to blue, as the light fell upon it. In design the gown was most artistic. The folds of rich satin fell away on either side from a petticoat of the filimest, daintest Mellin lace. This extended up the front of the gown, forming the corsage trimming, only an edging of tullie finishing it at the neck, where Mrs. Roosevelt wore an orna- MRS. DURANDS GOWN accent of diamonds and pearls. From the front of Mechlin and a bertha of point applique which fell in graceful folds over the shoulders. The gown was made in the princess style at the back and sides and the long side seams were finished with an embroidered vine pattern done in threads of silver. Around the head of the gown and extending up the sides of it a more elaborate pattern in silver, of pearls and diamond ornaments finished Mrs. Rogers's effective costume. Mrs. Fairbanks was, as might be expected, elegantly gowned. Being a large woman, Mrs. Fairbanks can wear becoming very elaborate and ornate gowns, and hers have always been among the most elegant seen at the capital. In this instance her gown was of white satin duchese, embroidered at intervals with roses of the natural size in the gold. Gold was inscribed in the trimming by revers of cloth of gold, ornamented with lace. These extended over the shoulders and ran down to a fine point at the waist lind. They opened over cas MRS PARRANT'S GOWN Marquise de Monstiers-Merinvil She is the daughter of the late W. Caldwell of Kentucky. cades of lace ruffles, which also extended the entire length of the skirt, making a petticoat effect, the heavy satin falling away in rich folds on the sides. The lace was a Brussels aplique, and the design tiny bowknots and marguerites. Mrs. Fairbanks' jewels were diamonds and pearls. Mrs. Chaffee, whose husband is chief of staff in the army, wore a unique and handsome gown of white satin. While in China Mrs. Chaffee had the pattern of coquillettes, and the embroidery was technically embroidered for her, thereby getting a finer specimen of needlework than is usually offered for sale in the markets. A graceful pattern of the flower typical of the Celestial kingdom extends all over the front of the gown, forming a panel down the front of the MRS ROOSEVELTY OGKIN skirt, which wickas as it nears the hem, and on either side of which are soft folds by a cluster of small tucks at the hips on either side. A dainty picture was made by Miss Josephine Durand, daughter of the British ambassador, whose charm is that of the English woman of delicacy and refinement, her dignity and daintiness combined amounting almost to quaintness, which was acentated at the ball by her simple gown of white tulle. It was made with a full shirt shirred round the hips and ornamented round the hem by a lattice trimming of silver turtles. Silver passementerie and strands of lace, a touch of color being given by tiny wreathes of pink rosebuds. Her colfur was also ornamented by the tiny wreathes, making a girlish effect very attractive.

With money, position and good taste, everything they do socially is correct, and no less Mrs. Morton's manner of dressing. Her gown at the ball was an example of this. As usual, while elegant, it was characterized by its simplicity. The material was the new, soft, clinging satin brocade, in this case called silver brocade. The ground was of white, brocaded in large conventional roses, also in white. Between these were little French Lotion roses in silver. The skirt was made opening over a petticoat of tulle pailleted in silver. The bodice was draped and finished around the top with a wide berta of rose point lace. The prettiest detail of the gown was the sleeves. They were made of puffs of satin, with a puff of pailleted tulle inserted in them and held in place by coils of cloth of silver, ending in rosettes finished in the center with a rhinestone ornament. A dog collar of pearls and diamonds and pearls was worn by Mrs. Morton—New York Herald. IN PRAISE OF ABSTINENCE. Woman's Witty Remark Deserved to Have Made a Convert.

Lifting up a glass of crisp champagne he said: "I must harm madam, can ensue from a drink so beautiful and clean?" "Much harm, replied the marquise gravely. "Ah, no," said the Englishman "Wine is good. It is a tonic. It makes blood. It makes you fat." "I have seen it make you lean, said the marquise, and, as the Englishman, puzzled, looked at her with elevated brows, she smiled, and add "'On your stick.'" Good Advice. J.

Mr. Moore has the appearance of a young man of elegance and leisure. He is, instead of that, a hard and successful worker, and in Philadelphia his advice upon financial matters is valued highly. A young woman, the other day, said to Mr. Moore: "I have inherited $25,000. I best tate whether to invest this money in government bonds, which pay only 3 per cent, or in Zaza gold mine stocks, which pay 15 per cent. What do you advise me to do? Mr. Moore smiled. "If you want to dine well," he said, "choose the gold mine investment. But choose the other if you want to sleep well." **Unfortunate Topic.** "What'd you do," asked Ruffon Wratz, "ef somebody wuz to die an' leave ye a million dollars?"

Prototype of "David Harum" Told of Russian Soldier Told of Russian Soldier Inhabitants of the Sudan Inhabitants of the Sudan Electricity in a Rocker At a dinner party in Washington, which was attended by some of the most prominent men in the national capital, one of the diners remarked that he once sat in the Union League club in New York with Roscoe Conkling, Chester A. Arthur and seer other distinguished gentlemen, who had been carefully educated in religious families, and that none of them was able to name the twelve apostles. "That's easy," said a Senator, brashly, beginning, "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, bless the bed that I lie on, Paul, the two Jameses, Jude, Barnabas." Here he stopped with some embarrassment. "Timothy," suggested a major general, who is a vestryman in an Episcopal church. "Timothy," answered a Senator. "Timothy was a disciple of Paul. He wasn't one of the twelve apostles." "Nicodemus," suggested one of the company. "Jeremiah," said another. "Julia was one of the Apostles." One of the quaint characters who formerly lived at Hempstead was Oliver Hendrickson, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He was a great lover of horses and something of a veterinarian. Dally and hourly he murdered the king's English. His favorite simile was "Jess so love with a horse, that when I saw him he never failed to notice the "physician" in which a horse ladd down. A neighbor of Oliver's had a horse of which he was very fond and which he permitted Oliver to use at frequent intervals. On one occasion the owner's little son went driving with Oliver and much to the latter's disgust kept nestling about in his seat, asking to handle the reins and urging his companion to let the horse go at top speed. Returning, Oliver told the lad's father that he was the most "dislikeable" of the horses. The owner of the horse soon after was seized with a serious illness and for a time was near death. Oliver In one of Count Tolstoy's earlier stories, "The Wood-Felling," the novelist characterizes the Russian soldier as follows: "A Russian soldier's spirit does not rest on easily inflammable enthusiasm which cools quickly, like the courage of southern nations; it is as difficult to inflame him as it is to depress him. He does not need scenes, speeches, war crys, songs and dramas; on the contrary, he needs quiet, order and an absence of anything affected. In a Russian, a real Russian soldier, finds himself bargaining, wagering or a desire to excrete himself in a time of danger; on the contrary, modesty, simplicity and a capacity for seeing in time of peril something quite else than the danger are the distinctive features of his character. "I have seen a soldier wounded in the leg, who in the first instant thought only of the hole in his new A prospector for gold in the Sudan, an Englishman, writes thus of some of the characteristics of the people of that region: "The natives are keen sportsmen and good stalkers, and respect a good shot. The different tribes are innumerable, the typical Sudanese being a fine, strapping man, but with peculiarly thin legs. Among themselves the men are gods and the women beasts of burden. They are comparatively intelligent and soon learn if handled properly. If a man hurts himself in any way the others look upon it as a huge job. One incident in this commission is worse, the man, once he had shot, but though apparently dead, was not quite so. A servant started to skin it. The beast opened his mouth and snapped at him, but fortunately only caught one of his fingers, which he took clean off below the knuckle. The other natives yelled and danced with delight.

Under the seat is placed a small dynamo about as large as two fists, a brass rods, miniature walking beams, which mimic the dynamo when the chair is rocked.

Occasionally he would call at the sick man's house to report conditions at the stable. On such occasions he would tell his friend's wife that so and so had made an offer for the horse in the event of the owner dying. "But," said Oliver, "old me am not going to look out for the widder." Cheerful conversation that for a woman who knew she might be widowed any day. After a time the sick man recovered, and when he was out Oliver calmly told him: "I was dreadful 'fraidy ye was gain' to die, Mr. C; but I never let your wife know how scairt I was. I kept her courage up, I tell ye." Another remark of Oliver's to a horse owner was: "I him cure 'most anything in the house, but he may never snort of courses get a foundry on him; I can't never cure that." Of course he meant foundered. sheepskin cloak, and an artillery outfit, who, creeping beneath a horse that was killed under him, began unbuckling the girths to save the saddle. Who does not remember the incident of the siege of Gergelbe, when the fuse of a loaded bomb caught fire in the laboratory? An artillery sergeant ordered two soldiers to take the bomb and throw it into the ditch and the soldiers did not run to the nearest spot, by the colonel's tent, which stood near the ditch, but took it farther on, so as not to wake the gentleman asleep in the tent. The men were consequently both blown to pieces. "I remember also how in the expedition of 1852, something led a young soldier while in action to say that he thought the platoon would never escape. And the whole platoon angrily attacked him for such evil words, which they did not like even to repeat." "Very friendly are the natives, treating an Englishman with great respect. Some of the tribes, however, are quite scared at the sight of a white man, and several of the extremely small villages were deserted on our approach. Usually, on a stranger's arrival in a village, the sheik comes forward and welcomes one, orders an 'augril' (native bedstead) for one's use, and over a cup of coffe or bowl of sugar-water entertains his guest. The sheiks are, on the whole, a very fine race of men and in courtesy of manner compare with the most polished European. The sheik usually walks at the head of one's horse, accompanied by his two or three chief men, and on reaching the outskirts of his village, points out the way to the next halting place, grasps you hand to wrist, and thus you bid farewell to one of nature's own gentlemen." only to rest the hands and arms on the arms of the chair. A gentle rocking sends a gentle current of electricity through the body of the person in the chair. A more rapid rocking increases the strength of the current, but no matter how violent the rocking the current generated will not be strong enough to cause any injury. For those who need electrical treatment the chair will be a boon, for the treatment may be taken while reading or reading. Attached to the dynamo is a covered wire ending in a cylinder, which may be taken out and used to send a current through the face or any portion of the body which needs special treatment. The inventors believe they can manufacture the chair at little more cost than an ordinary rocker and they expect soon to put it on the market. —Denver Times. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

The Court of Appeals of Maryland in an opinion delivered by Judge A. Hunter Boyd holds the act passed at the last session of the Maryland Legislature commonly known as the "Jim-Crow" law, requiring steam railways doing business in the State of Maryland to furnish separate compartments for Caucasian and Afro-American passengers, valid in so far as it pertains to transportation within the State but invalid in its appliance to inter-state commerce, and must not be construed as applying to the latter. This case was brought before the court on the appeal of William H. H. Hart, an Afro-American of Washington, D. C., who was arrested on a through train from New York to Washington. He was the holder of a through ticket from New York to Washington and was arrested for refusing to go into the apartment of the car set aside for Afro-American passengers. He was traveling on one of the trains of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad. He was fined 85 and costs by the Circuit Court of Cecil county, and from this verdict the appeal was taken. Thus, by the opinion of the Court, Hart wins his case. In its opinion the Court upholds the rights of common carriers to make reasonable regulations in providing for the separation of the two races and, also the right of the General Assembly under the police powers with which it is vested to impose such restrictions on the common carriers. In the matter of such regulations being applied to interstate commerce the Court quotes a decision from the United States Court in the case or Hall vs. De Culr (95 U. S., 485) as conclusive. In that case the Supreme Court decided that companies engaged in interstate commerce in Louisiana should give all passengers equal privileges as to what parts of the convictions they should occupy. A number of other cases are also cited to show the rule of the Supreme Court is that legislation by States which in any way interferes with or burdens interstate commerce is invalid. Concluding its opinion, the Court adds that it finds no difficulty in sustaining the law so far as it applies to interstate commerce. It is a matter of question whether the Legislature meant this to be the limit of its effect, as in one of the sections of the act it expressly exempts from the operations parlor and express cars and through trains that do no local business. North Carolina is engaged in an effort to amend her constitution in such a way as to "segregate" the school taxes. The slogan is: "White man's money for white schools and Afro-American's money for Afro-American schools." The fact about North Caro- J. HON. CHARLE$ W. FAIRBANKS, Vice President of the United States. lina and every other southern state is that the pretense of a pro rata distribution of the school fund is all a lie. The money is actually dishurbed by the district directors, according to their own discretion. Where they expend $10,000 for a white school house they locate the Afro-American school in a church; sometimes in a bush arbor. Where they pay a white teacher $50.00, they pay the Afro-American, one of the same grade of certificate $30.00. The fund is already segregated to all intents and purposes. The usual result of these segregation schemes is to produce a scarcity of labor and such is the status in North Carolina. Ever since the Exodus year, 1899, there has been a steady flow of emigration from the state. What is the matter with Russia? Pretty much the same thing that is the matter with the United States—a race problem. In the United States, certain unpleasant conditions are attributed to the effect of color. The theory is incorrect, for just such conditions exist in Russia, where all the people are of one and the same color in the following extract, a contemporary correctly explains the situation: There has sprung up in Russia a new aristocracy—that of the intellect. It looks down upon the old distinctions of caste as unworthy the belief of an intelligent human being. Titures to ridicule are millinery ones who strut above with millinery better given somebody just because their families similarly strutred. And of all things fatal to pomposity, ridicule is the thing—especially when it is impossible to deny that the ridiculer knows more than the one ridiculed. The little brown Jap has proven himself to be a man of high type by whaling the big white Russians most unmercifully; but that does not make him persona grata to the Pacific coast hoodlums. The California senate has adopted a resolution in reference to the "menace of Japanese immigration." And that reminds us that a few years ago, Japan closed her door on account of the "menace of American immigration," and old Commodore Perry went over and broke the door down. That was when Japan was feeble and ignorant, and the old Commodore could not repeat his feat at the present day without some trouble. In the state of Washington, insurance agents are forbidden to take risks upon saw mills or shingle mills with which Japanese are in any way identified, for fear that the hoodlums will burn the buildings. The millennium is still a long time off. A southern paper says: "The white race is unwilling to amalgamate with either the black race or the yellow race," which of course, every one who lives in the South knows to be a self-evident fact. The progressive Afro-American of the South has ceased "longin' fur de M. B. HON. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, Postmaster General of the United States. ole plantation" and is getting a home of his own.

ANOTHER AFRO-AMERICAN OFFICER. President Appoints G. S. Thompson A Lieutenant. Last week the president appointed Sergt, George S. Thompson, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, to be a second lieutenant in the Philippine Scouts, thus adding one more Afro-American to the commissioned force of the army. Lieut. Thompson had received high commendation for heroism and effi- ciency during the insurrection in the Philippines. He is one of the crack shots in the army and has received several medals for rifle and pistol shooting. Lieutenant Thompson is now stationed with his regiment at Fort Niobrara, Neb. --- THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. HON. LESLIE M. SHAW, Secretary of the United States Treasury (By John M. Harlan.) I never have doubted the capacity of this community to reach a sensible conclusion on any practical question submitted to it. That the final outcome of this campaign will justify this confidence in the good judgment of the people is not a question of doubt. The tide in favor of the republican ticket has set in and is running strongly and steadily. Careful observers of municipal elections in Chicago long have noted that the sentiment finally prevailing at the polls is that the success of the candidate just about two weeks before election day. The sentiment now prevailing, beyond question, indicates the success of the republican ticket by a big majority. This pronounced attitude in favor of the republican platform is readily explained. The people as a whole, without regard to party, are doing their own thinking on the issues of this campaign. They are listening to the statements made to them by the candidates, but they are reaching their own conclusions. They are studying matters for themselves and are not, accepting the conclusions of others as a basis for their own judgment. They have compared the secular platform with the democratic platform. They have turned toward the former as the true avenue to a sound solution of the traction question and to a good government in the municipality. It is demonstrated now that the people do not propose to pay $100,000,000 for out of date traction lines and alleged franchise rights and then to have to spend other millions in rehabilitating them. They realize that municipal ownership is not only more certain under the republican plan, but that it will become a fact in our municipal administration much more quickly than under the democratic method of procedure. The absolute pledge of the republican candidate of a referendum vote by the people on any proposed solution of the traction question before it shall become effective has been accepted by the people as a complete safeguard of their rights in their own streets. The people also are not neglecting the other issues of this campaign. They are thinking of administrative reforms; of a reorganized police force; of enough schools for the children; of parks and playgrounds; of getting rid of the holdup man; of pure water and [Illustration of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache.] a perfected intercepting sewer system; and of the other great questions of municipal administration that daily affect the welfare, happiness, and prosperity of any great community. They see in the republican platform and in the republican ticket stronger pledges of a good municipal government. Another thing that has helped to turn the sentiment so strongly in favor of the republican candidates is the comparison that the people are making of the aldermanic candidates on the two tickets. The old gray wolf pack lurks behind the democratic ticket and is trying against to break the seal of the beholder, the cloak. The protest of the whole people without regard to party affiliations is unmistakably aroused to this danger. The republicans to a man are working for success. There is harmony in the ranks. On the other hand, the democratic organization is disorganized and out of tune with itself. I predict with entire confidence the election of the republican ticket, together with a safe majority of honest aldermen in the council. MADE HIS POINT GOOD. Student Evidently was Not as Sleepy as He Looked. Prof. Nichols, the Cornell physicist, during the recitation of a freshman class in natural philosophy, observed a tall, lanky youth in a rear seat, his head in a recumbent position, his body in a languid pose, his eyes half closed, and his legs extended far cut in an adjacent aisle. He was either asleep or about to loss consciousness. "Mr. Frazer, said the great scientist, "you may recite." The freshman opened his eyes slowly. He did not change his sonolent pose. "Mr. Frazer, what is work?" "Everything is work," was the drawing reply. "Sir," exclaimed the professor, "remember that you are no longer in a preparatory school! Do you mean to tell me that is a reasonable answer to my question?" "Yes, sir." "What! Everything is work?" "Yes, sir." "Then I take it you would like me and the class to believe that this desk is work?" "Yes, sir," replied the youth wearlly, "that desk is woodwork." Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall.

Chinaman Has His Cown Way of Enjoying Tobacco. Of all smokers the Chinaman goes to the greatest trouble and obtains the least result. "He carries," says an observer, "a little box almost twice the size of an ordinary silver cigarette case. This is half-filled with water. In one end is a removable tiny tube to serve as a pipe, at the other end is the pipe stem. First of all he takes out the tube and blows through it to remove all blockage. Then he fumbles through his awkward clothes, searching for tobacco, and produces a bit of rag in which it is wrapped. Carefully he extracts a wad of tobacco, puts away his rag and slowly plugs the tube, which holds, perhaps, the tenth part of an ordinary cigarette. But he never has any matches. So WE ARE LEADERS. N.

CONVICTIONS ARE OF VALUE. Must Be Planted Deep if They Are to Hold and Influence. Nobody who is endowed with a good mind and wants to live to his satisfaction can afford to neglect the acquirement of convictions, says Edward S. Martin in the Metropolitan. What are they? They ought to be opinions based on knowledge and definitely thought out. Practically they come in various ways—offly by inheritance or as the result of early training; sometimes by association, sometimes from the automatic working of the mind during long periods when it is acquiring and sitting knowledge and experience. Sometimes, again, convictions seem to come suddenly, especially religious convictions, though there is usually a long process of preparatory thought behind them, and it is really only the final conclusion that is sudden. Deep convictions on any subject don't come ready-made. One has to work for them; to earn them. If they are to hold and to influence conduct, they must be planted deep. By Dy Virtue of the Emperor. (This success is gratefully attributed to the brilliant virtue of the Emperor.—Katherine) By virtue of the Emperor All victories are begett; The nation's warlike temper or Their leaders, skill is naught. Imperial armies have vastly invulnerous guns. And paltry pawns carry militaristic sons. Fleets, armies, guns and batteries Are trust of tools alone. The essence of the matter is The monarch's mourn tone: To Troubles pawns my heart, presaging, sings. Be virtuous, and be conquerors, O Kings! Then let the plausive millions see our virtues' magic power. Bendish whose daunting brilliance The stricken foeman cows; These, these aione make victory complete. Shall storm his strongholds and shall sink his fleet: —London Daily Chronicle. Presents to Bible Society. A number of curious presents have come to the Bible society in London. Gifts of embroidery to the value of over $150 have been received from native Christian women in Manchuria. From the New Hebrides, the Anelytiumse sent more than $30. These people manufacture arrowroot annually to pay for the bibles they need. About $15 was contributed in kind by the aborigines of Mapoon, North Queensland, who collected oysters for the purpose, as they have no money of their own. Even the Dyaks of Borreo sent a collection in to London, though in former days their fathers collected human heads much as American boys collect postage stamps. At What Temperature Water Boils. Water boils at different temperatures, according to the elevation above the sea level. In London water boils practically at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; in Munich, Germany, at 201% degrees; in the City of Mexico, at 200 degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an elevation of 18,000 feet above the level of the sea, at 180 degrees. These differences are caused by the varying pressure of the atmosphere at these points. In London the whole weight of the air has to be overcome. In Mexico, 7,000 feet above the sea, there is 7,000 feet less of atmosphere to be resisted. Consequently less heat is required and boiling takes place at a lower temperature. Cause of Mysterious Sounds There is an old superstition that tapping sounds in a room foretell death. A correspondent suggests that these sounds are emitted from wooden furniture. "I have generally noticed," he says, "that I heard them after a sudden change in the temperature from heat to cold. Heat causes furniture to expand and open the interstices of the wood, which become filled with air. A sudden cooling, on the other hand, causes the wood to contract, and the interstices then close and forcibly expel the air with these explosive sounds." Handy Thing.

To be one's self the mast and the tiller and the boat-sailing and skating blended at the speed of a high-class locomotive—this is the sport of skate-sailing, says writer in Country Life in America. In an automobile, in a racing keel, on a blooded horse, the man that guides by clutch or tiller or bridle is a piece of dead freight, being to the extent of his weight a drag, on the speed; but skate-sailing alone, of sports that attack time, makes use of the guidance itself as a part of the propulsive force. The man himself is both sail area and live ballast. With a forty-mile breeze behind him, and clean, green ice ahead, the skate-sailer comps the nearest we shall ever get to the wing-footed god that slid down a rainbow. Wings on his feet, and his arms tethered to great white wings, he is the lyre of the west wind in a kind of rhapsody of motion. He is as sensitive to the situation as a photographic plate. Every tremor of the sail action passes through him, and he adapts himself momently to the variations of an off-shore breeze. The old world dream was of a cavataur—man-horse—two natures in one body. In this twentieth-century sport we have realized a man-boat. The effort to prove that a man may cover a mile a minute, unaided by steam or gasoline by the propulsive power of wind alone, will be made this advancing season by some skate-sailers at least.

Some of the states voted for a term “quring good behavler.” Alexander Martin proposed eleven years, Will- iemson ten to twelve, Elbridge Gerry fifteen, and Rufus King twenty—“the medium life of princes.” King was nothing if not sarcastic.

He sald that on ‘a previous voyage he had fallen sick and. was takon for dead and.put into a sack for burial. A quartermaster had been put on to watch the body util it was time for the funeral. When the burial party arrived, the quartermaster informed the captam 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 sal low face. He had an enormous appe- tite 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 atout half way to our voyage's end, he apparently died again. The doctors took him in ckarge 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 comptaiot.” OO ap s ‘ gg Ne ope Sai ) a Lf — ONE OF LIFE’S RERPLEXITIES.

Some thcughts and sermons are for those who create them, and should be kept in a sealed case in the own- er's private laboratory. —Earl M, Pratt in “Short Talis.” “Gloricus Uncertainty of Law.” It is said this phrase originated with a London lawyer named Wilbra- ham, at a dinner of judges and coun- sel, held ‘at Serjeants’ hall, London, in 1786, shortly after the elevation of William Murray—Lord Mansfield—to the lord chief justiceship and a bar- ony. The toast of “The Glorious Memory of King William” having been henored according to the then pre- yailing manner, Mr. Wilbraham pro- posed, amid great laughter, “The Glorious Uncertainty of the Law,” in sarcastic allusion to Lord Mansfield’s frequent reversals of former decisions.
