FRANKNESS NOT A Why One Woman H Not to Commit Her When the wise woman is asked by the friend of her heart, "How do you think this gown fits?" she edges away from the precipice which yawns at her feet and takes refuge in platitudes. "It's a beautiful gown," she says, and then, with animation, "Arent we having lots of strawberries this year, and the fruit people say the crop of peaches will be abnormal large," says the Baltimore News. The wise woman has learned how to answer such questions by sad, sad experience. There was a time when she would have replied, after much mought: "Why, the seam, which should go down the middle of your back is a little awry, and one armhole is larger than the other." She remembers the time when she was innocent and thoughtless, and she did this for the benefit of her dearest friend, who had implored her to be perfectly frank. She remembers that the friend gave her one look of scorn and swept from the room, remarking frigidly as she old so: "There certainly must be something the matter with your eyes, for this gown was made by the smartest cutoutre in the city, and I think it is quite the prettiest and best-fitting I have seen this season." This page, knowing these things, came the other day upon a friend in her bonder wearing a new and tilted hat and an absorbed and anxious expression. ORIGIN OF FLY FIS Sport Dates B Shown in Gree Probably few fishermen are aware that fly fishing dates back to classic times, says Forest and Stream. A minute description of the artificial fly as used by Macedonian anglers is given by Aelian, a Greek writer of the third century A.D. as follows: "Between Berca and Thessalonica there flows a river, Astraeus by name, and there in it fishes of a spotted color; but by what name the people of those parts call them it is better to ask Macedonians. At any rate, these fish live upon the native flies which fall into the river, and are like no flies of any other part; one would neither call them waslike in appearance, nor would one reply to a question that this creature is formed like what we call the bumble bees, nor yet like the honey bees themselves. It has really the proper fashion of each of the above. In audacity it is like a fly, in size it might be called a bumble bee, in color it rivals the wasp and it buzzes like the honey bees. All common creatures of this sort are called horse tails. These pitch upon the stream to seek the food they affect, but cannot help being seen by the fish, which swim underneath. "So whenever one of them sees the fly floating he comes softly, swimming ANTIDOTE FOR SN Fluid That Is Use posed to Be Secret R Supt. B. F. Daniel of the Territorial prison, who has been in the city for the last three days, says the Arizona Republican, told here of a certain cure for the bite of the rattlesnake. He had heard of it while he had been engaged in mining in Mexico, and since he became superintendent of the prison he has seen two or three Mexican convicts who had been cured and who had the scars to show that they had been bitten. On the hand of one of them was the trace of a centipede, whose poison also yields to the remedy. Its existence, however, is not widely known, even in Mexico, and is supposed to be entirely unknown out of that country. There is in every rattlesnake a small sac, about the size of a Mexican bean, attached to the intestines. This is filled with a brownish or black fluid, and that fluid is the cure for the bite. If it is applied immediately the patient will not even suffer any swelling and will entirely avoid pain. Many Mexicans carry the fluid with them at all times when they are in the mountains or on the desert. These Mexicans kill all the rattlers they can find, and most of them store the fluid CALLED WIZARD O Inhabitants of Mikao nose, Inventor of a The story of Dr. Gian Shimonose and his wonderful gunpowder is told by Yone Noguchi, in "Success." The following brief quotation gives an idea of the great Japanese inventor and his work: Japan is honoring Dr. Glan Shimonose the inventor of the Shimonose gunpowder which the Japanese navy is using in the war with Russia. Russia herself frankly admits the power and effectiveness of the Japanese balls. Dr. Shimonose is 46 years old. He married when he was 26. He is the father of one son and one daughter. His wife is born to be remarkable for her sympathy with her husband's work. The Japanese sentimentally call him one of the great inventors of the world, not merely of Japan. He was born poor and without any support for his education. While at Defective Page "Come in, come in!" said the friend when she observed the woman's page looking at her; "you are the very person I most wanted to see. Give me your red-hot ideas about this hat. I have had it sent up on approval, and so I don't have to take it, and I'm not quite satisfied with it myself. Tell me what you think." The woman's page imagines she is wise in her generation, and she hedged gracefully. "What lovely roses," she said enthusiastically, "and how artistically they are placed." "Nonsense! What do you think of the hat," persisted her friend; "tell me the real truth, for I must decide to-day, and I really believe I could get something prettier, don't you?" Thus conjured, the page dropped her wonted caution. "If you really want to know what I think, I will tell you that, in my opinion, the hat is too large for you; a smaller one would be more becoming." "Well, this one suits me," replied the friend, tersely. And to a maid passing the door: "Mary Anne, telephone Mme. Browne and tell her I will take the hat she sent up." The vocabulary of the woman's page was not large enough to meet the occasion, but she anathematized herself by everything she knew, and made a new and unbreakable resolve never to speak her mind again about the possessions of a friend. SHING Back to Classic Times, ask Writings of Third Century under the water, fearful of disturbing the surface and so scaring away his game. Then he comes near the shady side of the fly, gapes and sucks him in just like a wolf snatching a sheep from the fold or an eagle a goose from the yard. This done, he disappears beneath the ripple. The fishermen understand these manoeuvres, but they do not make any use of these flies for a bait for the fish; for if the human hand lays hold of them they lose their natural color, their wings fray and they become unattable to the fish. So for this reason they make no use of them, disliking them because their nature forbids their capture. So with angling craft they outwit the fish, devising a sort of lure against them. They lap a lock of reddish wool round the hook, and to the wool two cock's feathers which grow under the wattles, and are brought to the proper color with wax. The rod is from six to ten feet long, and the horse hair line has the same length. They lower the lure. The fish is attracted by the color, excited, draws close; and judging from its beautiful appearance that it will obtain a marvelous banquet, forthwith opens its mouth, but is caught by the hook, and bitter, indeed, is the feast it has, inasmuch as it is captured." NAKE BITE led by Mexicans and Sup- remedy of the Moki Indians in a bottle made of a rifle cartridge shell which is tightly corked. In anatomical descriptions of the rattler no mention is made of this particular sac, though air sacs are members of the snake family. But there is no doubt of the existence of it, for Mr. Daniel said he had seen Mexicans remove it frequently. It may be that this fluid is the se- cret of the Moki Indians, and accounts for the immunity that they enjoy from the poison of the rattler. Those who have attended their annual snake dances and have seen dancers bitten have wondered that the bites were not fatal. At any rate, the secret of the im- munity is one of the most carefully guarded secrets of the rites of the Mokis and is kept within a select order of the priesthood. Dr. J. Miller for years annually attended these dances and made a study of the cer- monies. The Indians formally adopted him, not only into the tribe, but advanced him in the priesthood. The doctor wanted chiefly to learn the secret of the poison antedote, and he was told year after year that the next year he would be put in possession of the secret. But he died without it.

At that time Japan had no railroad and no steamers ran regularly. From Hiroshima, his native province, to Tokyo, is some 500 miles in Japanese measurement. When he reached the capital he went through the examination and was successfully admitted to the Imperial university. From scantiness of money he was often compelled to go without food. He borrowed text books from a fellow student and copied them. It is said that he could not raise money even for his hair cutting or a bath. After graduation he found work in a printing office.

Defe THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY. JULY 8, 1905. The Sport of Millionaires THE KAKAWHA, PHOTOGRAPHY BY COURTESY ON "THE MIDDLE." When a captain of industry who in- firemen, and a score of men before cludes yachting among his diversions the mast, able seamen, and the lik- clubs, reaching among his diversions — as most of them, of course, do—runs afoul of a wheat deal or some other unfortunate obstruction in the stock market, his first step in the way of retrenchment is either to get rid of his steam yacht or to retrain from putting it into commission, for one or more seasons. He may be interested in a racing stable; he may own a string of motor cars a mile long, and if the cropper in Wall street has been sufficiently severe, all these things have to be sacrificed, too, but—the steam yacht goes first. It goes first because it is the most expensive plaything that man has ever produced. More money can be expended upon a big steam yacht in a given period than upon anything not an absolute utility that has yet been devised. This applies to the yacht in itself—coal crew, maintenance and the like. When one begins to consider other expenses involved, such as entertaining, luxuries of various kinds, wines and other frills, the facts well nigh stagger the imagination of the investigator, and render the storied extravagances of Caius Caligula the tame sort of reading ever after. It has been stated that J. Pierpont Morgan spends $10,000 each season for the cigars smoked aboard the Corsair. A well-known yachtsman made this remark last season at Newport, and there is no reason to doubt his assertion. Other expenses, gauged accordingly, give one the impression that the Corsair each season must cost her owner a pretty penny. Some years ago, when steam yachts were not of the high type of the present and when the term multi-millionaire had hardly come into general use, a very prominent man of wealth ventured the remark that he did not see how it was possible for any man to spend more than $100,000 a year unless he literally threw his money away. Later he purchased a large steam yacht. It cost him $70,000 a year just to run it. The Newport legend has it that this man one day, seated on the porch of the reading room, qualified his statement very materially by adding "unless he owns a steam yacht." On the last cruise of the New York Yacht club there were some twenty large steam yachts, which were estimated by a well-known yachisman as being valued in the aggregate at over $4,000,000, and in a cup year, when a vastly greater number of steam yachts are in commission than in any ordinary year ("off year," yachsmans call years in which there is no race for the America's cup), the various harbors touched by the New York Yacht club squadron have framed a marine picture roughly estimated as worth $8,000,000. It is safe to assume that the season's expenses of the Corsair run way past the hundred thousand dollar mark, and the same may be said of such large yachts as Col. Payne's Aphrodite, Howard Gould's Niagara, John Jacob Astor's Nourmahal, H. H. Rogers' Kanawa, William K. Vanderbilt's new turbine yacht Virginia, and a score of others. Not one of these yachts cost a cent less than $300,000 to build, and in most cases the cost was even greater. That is the first expense, of course—the cost of construction. The cost of maintenance comes after. Take the Corsair, since we began with her. She registers nearly if not quite 600 tons and burns more than 40 tons of coal a day when steaming along at anything like a fair rate of speed. Put the present price of coal at $4 per ton—it fluctuates, but $4 is a fair average—and that makes, say, $160 daily for propulsive power. She carries a crew of fifty-eight men, including the captain, first and second mates, carpenters, stewards—cabin and bedroom—one pantryman, four cooks, including the chef; chief engineer and three assistant engineers, three oilers, from twelve to eighteen Tess—I don't see why you shouldn't marry him. He's not bad looking, and he's got such a contented disposition. Jess—A contented disposition won't do. A contented man won't hustle and bring you in diamonds and other things—Philadelphia Press. "Yes, he's looked upon as the laziest man in his set." "Why so?" "He's the inventor of a self-lighting cigarette."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. UNDER FULL SAIL firemen, and a score of men before the mast, able seamen, and the like. Such a personnel suggests a war vessel in its completeness, and as a matter of fact the Corsair and other yachts of the kind are conducted as are war vessels, so far as discipline and machine-like precision are concerned. But it costs something. The skipper of the Corsair receives no less than $200 a month, if indeed, he does not receive more; the mates are paid from $70 to $100 a month, while the pay of the seamen, the oilers and the firemen averages at least $30 a month. The pay of the chef depends upon his culinary ability, and while the average is said to be $50 a month, there are many nautical gastronomic artists who command considerably more than that. The chef's assistants receive $30 or $40 a month, according to their ability, and the chief steward, who virtually runs the social end of the yacht, purchases supplies, attends to the reception of guests, and in other ways makes himself generally useful, and sees that everything in the way of a function goes off like clockwork, is cheapest at $125 or even $150 a month. Aside from the feeding of owners and guests, the feeding of the fifty-eight men comprising the ship's company costs 50 cents a day for each man. In addition to this, think what it must cost to entertain the guests with which every large steam yacht is crowded day after day throughout the season. Think of the cost of replenishing larders and wine closets, and cigars, and of the thousand and one expenditures involved in wining and dining and entertaining in other ways, and then think, also, of the cost UNDER FULL SAIL of eigneers' and mates' stores, dry docking and general repairs! In short, it costs not less than $90,000 a year to run the greatest of our steam yachts, and while, of course, the actual expenditure may be more or less, inquiry would seem to impress one that more often than not the sum is greater. A Bostonian who was ambitious to buy a steam yacht and to be generally in line with other wealthy men went It was Sunday evening. Through the fog the airship dropped low to its bearings. "We are now passing over Newark," said the skipper. The passengers, listening, could hear the clinking of the beer glasses distinctly.—Newark (N. J.) News. Senorita Smith—Which one—June, August, September or July?—Houston Chronicle. to a yachting agent, a personal friend, and told him to get a yacht. The agent smiled. "I tell you," he said, "if you will give me the contract, as a matter of friendship, for repairing and maintaining your yacht, I'll get you a steam yacht less the commission which I would receive." He got the contract, and all that can now be said is that the yachting agent is still perfectly satisfied with his bargain. The Aphrodite, 650 tons, burns not less than forty-five tons of coal a day, and carries a crew of sixty men, the personnel and pay of which approximates the Corsair's in almost every way. And when one comes to think of it the impression comes that this money expended in a steam yacht results in more good to the general public and causes money to flow through more hands than any other sport. The artisans who build the yacht are to be considered in this regard as well as the butchers, the wine merchants, and, in fact, the merchants of an infinite number of trades who are called upon to supply food and general stores. Also, in as each season these great yachts touch for a greater or less time at many ports between this city and Maine, it will readily be grasped that money is lavished on trades people throughout a considerable area of the country. When it comes to sailing yachts the expenses are comparatively lighter, but only comparatively so. For instance, it cost $25,000 to $40,000 to fit out the schooners entered in the recent race for the Kaiser's cup. The fact that all this expense was for a $5,000 mug speaks well for the purity of the sport. To build the eighty-five-foot schooner Colonia cost $60,000. The seventy-foot class of schooners now racing, or about to race, under the colors of the New York Athletic club at coming regattas cost no less than $40,000 each to build, and it has been estimated that it cost more than $1,000 each month to keep a racing schooner yacht in commission. The Captain, if he is a good skipper, receives no less than $200 of that monthly outlay, and the sailors are paid $30 a month. Canvas sails for these yachts cost $1 a yard, and a sail spread of from 4,000 to 5,000 feet, exclusive of the kites (smaller sails), involves no infinitesimal sum of money. An owner of a fleet schooner yacht recently estimated that his sails cost him $6,500 each season. Herreshoff charges about $16,000 for a fast fifty-one-foot sleep ($60,000 to build a racing seventy-footer), and so it goes. In short, if you do not know what to do with your money, go in for yachting; buy a steam yacht, or a racing sloop from fifty to seventy feet long, or a seventy-foot schooner. If you do this there will be no more difficulty or care in getting rid of all that patrimony that bothers you—and more, too.—New York Times.

An imperial edict of April 24 gives Wu and Shen Chiapen credit for suggesting the changes and then proceeds; "At the beginning of the dynasty when our sovereignty extended within the great wall, the most severe punishment was beheading. In the year of Hsin Jul, however, when we revised the laws, we permitted the introduction of those punishments which had been prevalent in the Ming dynasty, hence ling chi (cutting to pieces) was allowed for certain crimes. It has always been distasteful to us to resort to these punishments, and it does not fulfill our imperial idea of showing mercy to the people. Now that we are once more revising the laws, therefore, we hereby order that for all variations of the crime of taking life, beheading shall be the extreme penalty in future; ling chi, exposure of the detached head and mutilation of the corpse must be abolished forever." As a consequence of this abolition all the other punishments are moved down a grade in severity. The laws where the words ling chi occur, for instance, will have chuch, or simple decapitation, substituted. The penalty of chuch is, what might SYSTEM THAT DID Fatal Flight for Reme Some of the feats in remembering names and faces of persons only seen once performed by bank clerks and persons in similar positions are astonishing, but it is a fact that very few of them owe this faculty to any of the artificial systems of memonics so widely advertised. Either the gift is a natural one or is acquired at the expense of much hard work. The cashier of a downtown bank who is noted for his memory for names and faces got talking the other day about his faculty and confessed that it had been acquired with much labor. "When I was a young fellow," he said, "I was secretary to the president of a New Jersey bank, and I made up my mind that a good memory for names, and faces would be a valuable asset, and set to work to supply what nature had not given me.

The doctors said he was no good for a soldier. They said he wasn't strong enough to fight. "Hiram told Uncle Joe about this, and Uncle Joe said, after thinking a little white: "Look a-here. Hi, I'm conscripted, too, and my examination is set for next Thursday. What's the matter with you taking it in my name? I'd pass sure, if I took it myself, for I'm as strong as an ox.

This is supposed to be a far more honorable death than decapitation and was formerly reserved for princes and other great men. Strangulation, however, has its own subtle distinctions, and the penalty of chao chuhe will be hereafter modified to chao chien hou, or awaiting in prison under sentence of strangulation. This difference is the difference between certain death and having a chance of reprieve. Among other complications of Chinese law and its execution is a unique and rather racy method of dealing with prisoners by lottery. Once a year the vermilion pencil of imperial authority is waved over a chart on which the names of convicted criminals are written, and those which it includes in a haphazard sweep are executed forthwith. The rest are either reprieved altogether or their executions are postponed for another year. Another important reform is the abolition of the "condemned" brand on the faces of prisoners. Hitherto all who have been sentenced to banishment for robbery and other serious crimes have been tattooed on the face, in order to mark them as criminals for life.

SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1905 "We believe at the north, just as you do in the south, in the separation of the two races that divide the south between them. We believe, however, that the very fact of separation demonstrates that both races must enjoy education. I think that the sum and substance of the northern belief about the southern problem. It is a question for generations working always through public and private education." President Elliot of Harvard University asked the question of logic, or something else, during a recent visit to Louisville, Ky. But he does not explain how the two races can be intermingled in all sorts of ways, and at the same time he separated. Nor does he explain how both races can be separated for education were such a separation possible. If Elliot's scheme were carried out, it would involve the having of two governors and two legislatures in each state, two school systems and a double-barrelled mess in everything. Elliot is a South African and an AfroAmerican get off the earth. The old man is talking through his list and needs a muzzle. The most serious obstacle in the way of the extension of American trade in foreign countries is the color-prejudice which dominates everything in this country. It is a well-known fact to all nations, that nowhere in the wide world is color-prejudice so all-prevailing and unreasonable. It is also the most dangerous one of dark complexion, be he native or foreigner, whatever may be his education, wealth or station. It drives from our shores the Japanese wife of a Morgan and throws a high-rank Chinese lady into a filthy prison for merely landing in this country. South America has a large population of dark-skinned people and they are well-informed as well as North American prejudice. It is not surprising that they are not easier for North American products even if gotten up with special reference to their tastes and whims. --- Rev. Beverly E. Warner of New Orleans made a wanton and unnecessary display of ignorance when, in his speeck, at Chicago university, he expressed surprise at the graduation of an Afro-American and declared against higher education of the race. If he had been even moderately well informed, he would have known that Afro-American graduates are filling thousands of the job and doing much to remove the curse of illiteracy from that section. Strenuous efforts have been made to "industrialize" the schools for higher education, but the Afro-American graduate is an effectual barrier against such efforts. There are a few first class industrial schools in the South and they are doing a good work, but the vast majority are insignificant little make-believe. But the handwriting is upon the wall, "Mene, mene, telek upharsin." And now come one Dr. Stagg, pastor of a Presbyterian church in Birmingham, tells us that the Afro-American is so inferior that no education would help him. He also advocates forible deportation for the "blacks." His talk upsets a lot of Southern theories. The philosophers of that benighted section have boasted extravagantly of the moral and intellectual improvement of the Afro-American race, of the African-American of slavery, and also the intense affection developed in the whites for the old black mammy. As to the forible deportation of the "blacks," if Dr. Stagg will go to some neighboring Alabama plantation and try the experiment of any kind of deportation, he will, as many have done before, something that he not be taught in the Alabama Technological Institute. It is certainly enough to make a hyena laugh to read the following outburst of virtuous indignation from Governor Vardaman of Mississippi: "I should rather see the walls of the state university crumble into dust than that it should be built up and furnished by this money," which man has been accustomed to pay for the tolling masses, demanding a tenuity of self-respect we cannot afford to pay." Poor old fellow—the heforces that the world knows exactly how every college and university and everything else in Mississippi, was built up and furnished "by the blood and tears of the tolling" Afro-American. --- It should not escape notice that the big monarchies of Europe are rapidly disintegrating and resolving 'themselves into a number of petty princh palities, for there is deep significance in that fact. The Balkan countries are each running their own 'shebang': Norway and Sweden have set up their own monarchies and Hungary cannot remain together much longer and no one knows what will be the future of Russia, but she can no longer be rated as a great power. Every once in a while some little boatball from down South butts in some where up North and tells the folks that he is not in favor of higher education for the Afro-American. If the little boatball nobody had a little more higher education himself, he would be in favor of it, and what he is in favor of, so there is no need for him to 'rave and stamp off' Bashan's bull or braying ass of mischief full." The J. P. Morgan syndicate which is building a railroad in China has completed 22 miles of the road, and trains are now running. Only European and American Caucasians are permitted to ride in the first class cars. Jim Crow cars being provided for the Chinese, who object to this treatment and are now endeavoring to purchase the road. We notice with considerable pleasure that the Afro-American is still demonstrating his fitness for higher education and is graduating with honors from many of the best educational institutions of the north including Yale and Harvard. We also note that many; of the graduates are sons of illustrious sires showing that heredity does count for something. Miss Margaret W, Tantum of Trenton, N. J. has just notified Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Normal and Industrial Institute of Chicago, to provide money for the erection of a building at the institute in memory of her father, the late Dr. B. Tantum. --- A Washington dispatch states that the State Department is looking for a man to succeed Richard T. Greeen, as consul at Vladivostok, who was relieved a few months ago. It is queen that some of our Western Afro-America statesmen have not applied for the job. GREETING THAT WAS NEW. Viennse Professor Worried Over American Expression "There are no more polite persons on earth than the Viennese," said Dr. D. L. Kahn, who spent five months in the Austrian capital, says the Indianapolis News. "You may meet a professor or a medical student, Viennese, half a dozen times in the course of an evening walk. Every time you meet a professor, the world I have habe die ereh—I have the honor—usually cut short to 'Habe die ereh,' spoken very quickly, so that in spite of the implicit politeness it is quite a perfunctory courtesy. "One of the American students, a big fellow from California, with Yankee shrewdness, sizing this expression at what seemed to him its proper worth, used to meet it with an expression that was taken up by all the Americans. When he was accosted with 'Habe die ereh,' he would tip his hat, used to meet him on a day a venerable professor asked an explanation of me. "What the devil does that fellow mean with his hot airy? asked the professor. And I was impelled to say I really did not know." IS MARRIAGE A DISEASE? Question Humorously Called to Attention of Scientists Sometimes it seems as though the anti-divorce enthusiasts were not as scientific in their methods as they should be. The great, abounding cause of divorce is, of course, marriage, and marriage, therefore, is the thing to investigate. First, then, is marriage a germ disease? We have considered this question a long time, getting no further with it, but the scientific investigators will be able to tell us. And if it is a germ disease they can catch the germ, and the germ once caught they can get cultures and compose antitoxins which will strip this common and serious complaint of most of its terrors. And, of course, once we get a marriage under control we shall be in a position to regulate divorce with a precision absolutely scientific. If there is any divorce left to regulate, Harper's THE WORLD A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavey. With an introduction by Whitelaw Rad. Two volumes. $8.00. P. Bell, Mail. $5.00. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. "A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question, from the early days of the 18th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction by Whitelaw Radley, followed by Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- strategists Von Molke. The historians of this one might easily imagine that the re-ing crucibles of the Revolution were a being Paris and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war of Germany are thus described by author. Nimitz prepared, war II. Warned it, the great bourgeois loot. They might have stopped it by themselves with a grimace. He saw in war our certain ruin: he knew our terri- inferiority; he could quite left. In Chapter L the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established in the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty for which the colonies had contended, was a public, refrained from inserting in its great charter a name so repulsive to freedom that it was injurious to society and incipient witnesses to the public sentiment of that day. There was no state free from the taxation of the colonies, and it was injurious to society in no sense dependent upon sectional lines. Its ultimate extinction would be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to believe that the constitution of the African slave trade, emancipation would have followed in Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its sinfulness and from economic reasons, those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because of its oppressive nature, became an impatient as his, or succeeded in a lance of political forces; while that having its source in religious convictions, it became the creation of a third party.

The first war of giants; because many of those giants still survive its vicissitudes; the second war of giants; because many of those giants still survive its vicissitudes; the third war of giants; because many of those giants still survive its vicissitudes; the fourth deadly beasts'; its long and dreadful marches; its Georgia and Chickasaw conflicts; and all the various activities of the world; because its echoes still reverberate. Because of these things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read from the pages of all the great strife which has hitherto remained unwritten, is brought forth The descriptive art of the author never leaves from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary happenings.

ANTISEMITISM The treatment given the subject is histiological, and the histiological differences between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps we learn how much of postexploitation has been carried on rechromocopy between the Heberians and the Romans, but it has resulted a greater mixture of race and religion. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon language shapes of the head, or color, or religion. The author prevails that races are distinct in part and inferiority on the other part and inferiority on the other part and inferiority to the problem between Jew and Gentile.

TO PRESERVE THE EYESIGHT. Some Simole Rules That Are Well Worth Remembering. An experienced ocvl'st fecently gave the following hints: “Those whe work much with their eyes should remember that they arc using muscles as well as other organs, and these muscles should not be un- duly strained. : “In reading. the book should be held as far from the ayes as a clear view Of the reading matter will permit, => long-range vision calls for the least strain on the ciliary (or eyelid) mus- cles. Again, the book should be held at right angles to a line extending from the eyes to the line of print on the page which is being read. ‘This is another relief for the eye muscles, which_ate only called upon to move the eyes across the pase, and not up or down. “By this method réading in a re cumbent posture (-> generally con- demned) 18 renceres practically harm less. But, of course, a great deal de- pends on tue light. ‘It should. always fall from above or behind the student, and never be so poor as to necessi- tate the object being brought close to the eyes. This is what strains the muscles, and produces congestion and other evils.”—Montreal Herald. NAMES OF BISLICAL TINGE. less Aposryphal.

To Stock Waters With Salmon, Canadian officials have shipped 250,- 000 eggs of the Atiantic salmon to be planted in Vancouver Island waters. The experts think that Atlantic sal- mon will do well in this district. Here: tofore there has been strong objection to the introduction of the Atlantic salmon, because the meat is ~» light in color, the canner: preferring the dark red fish for their purposes. How- ever, these salmon will probably be planted in the nies! waters on Van- couver island ard wil! become “land- locked” salmoa, such as are found in several of the I2kes in Maine. The Stocking of these worers with Atiantle salmon is primarily for the benefit of sportsmen. Birat Musical’ Comedy. Musical comedy was introduced into England May 22, 1686. Dignified by the name ot “opera,” an entertainment called “The Cruelty of Spaviards in Peru” was produced at the Cockpit theater on that day, According to no- tices of the time, it wae “expressed by vocal and instrumental music, and by the art of perspective in scenery.” ‘The production also marks the first use of scerery on the stage. and its development a few years later caused Pepys to remark disparagizgiy, after avisit to the serious drama, “Strange to see this hcuse, that used to be so thronsed, now empty since the opera began.” Barrels Always in Demand, The demand for barrels is steadily increasing because modern machinery has made it possible to make them for the trade cheaper than almost any other form of package. That it is the most convenient form of package has long been acknowledged. The ancient cooper's art was a skilled one, ard the work of cutting out the staves and them assembling them required long practice and apprenticeship. To-day machinery perforths in a fraction of the time what hand labor did so slow- ly and clumsily. ahaa: ates tei teokaheal: ‘A pupil in one of Chicago's schools was. called upon to read the sentence: “Only those who bave been near the grim original can know how quickly death is pictured in the mind.” ‘Her teacher, who lives in a section of the city where, the street plano flourishes, thought it not devoid of sense when the child read: “Only those who have been near the grind organ can know how quickly death is pictured in the mind.” — (HARM) - ie | fon 8 VE - we. | Bi ses 67°: ey — eS EYE DEFECTS AND SYMPTOMS.

GOOD CURE FOR THE “BLUES.” Hearty Laugh in Most Cases Better Than Medicine. * “Low spirits," or what is popularly termed “a fit of the blues,” is a mental state often caused by a poisoning of the nervous system with one of those curious toxins which the body occa sfonally elaborates from the food sup- plied to it and which perhaps a slug- gish liver (whose duty it is to guard the portals of the system and prevent the entrance of hurtful matters from the alimentary canal) has allowed to pass unchallenged. Laughter alone has been known to dissipate this kind of mental depression, by mechanically rousing the systém, increasing the rate of oxidation of the blood, tndirect- Jy stimulating the organs by which suck poisons are eliminated, and by its Deneficial action on the liver, arrest. ing the absorption Into the system of any more poisons.

Nothing is farther from the truth, so far as this house is concerned. For 22 years we have catered to the wants of the people of the Northwest and never a dissatisfied customer. The goods we carry are made by the VERY BEST MANUFACTURERS in America, and the only difference in this house and others which claim to be exclusive and high-class is that we make good furniture easy for the man of modest means, while the so-called exclusive houses shut him off entirely by making him pay cash. Again, it is thought by some that an installment house asks higher prices than those which sell for cash. This is another "visionary theory," which is so far from the truth as to be ridiculous. One visit here will explode it. We sell at lower prices than any exclusive house, and WE GIVE YOU CREDIT BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU NEED IT, and because we can sell twice as much merchandise that way as we can for cash. Take these matters home and think them over. They are worth the consideration of any sane man or woman. INDIAN TREATMENT OF SICK. Superstitious Ceremony That is Often Last Resort. In answer to inquiries as to the meaning of the word it was explained that a pachofsha is a feast and a part of the incantation and superstitious ceremony conducted over the sick by the lower class of ignorant Indians. When a man is thought to be sick enough to require the services of a doctor he is put into a hut, and for three days no one except the doctor sees him. The doctor goes into the woods and gathers herbs, from which he prepares a potion for the sick man and then keeps a lonely vigil with him. At the end of the third day, if the patient is not improved, the order is given to prepare a pachofsha. Corn and meat, either beef, pork or game, are put in a large kettle and stewed until the corn is soft. All the relatives of the sick man are entitled to attend, and they gather around the kettle for the feast. The sick man is brought out and served first. He is fed as much as his stomach can hold, and the others then turn in and devour the remainder of the stew. When this is concluded a bonfire is built and lighted, and the crowd circles around and dances to the tune of a weird chant. After this, if the sick man does not show signs of getting better, nothing more is done for him, and he dies or gets well by act of Providence.—Oklahoma Times Journal. HIS JUDGMENT AT FAULT. One Instance Where Balzac Failed as a Graphologist. If there was one thing upon which Balzac fattered himself more than another it was his skill in reading character from handwriting. But he made a sad mistake on one occasion. A lady brought him an extract from the exercise book of a 12-year-old schoolboy, and asked him for an opinion as to the youngster's character and prospects. Balzac inquired whether the child was her own. Answered in the negative, he examined the exercise carefully and delivered his judgment. "Madame," he said, "this child is thick-headed and frivolous. He will never come to any good. If he were my child I would take him from school and put him to the plow." Then it was explained to the novelist that the specimen on which he had pronounced so severely was one of his own which had been discovered hidden away between the leaves of an old lesson book. Schiller's Mean Revenge. When Schiller was a boy at school he was tormented by a Swiss tutor named Kuplig, who came from the Grisons canton. Years later, when the poet wrote "The Robbers," he revenged himself on Kuplig and the Grisons by introducing this little speech: "To be a scamp you must have genius. Moreover, a special climate is needed for the growth of scamps, and to prove this I recommend you to visit the Grisons canton. It is the veritable Athens of modern rascality." In the later editions of "The Robbers" this quaint pit of spleen does not appear. It is suggested that Schiller was not moved to expunge it by any remorseful feeling, but by a very forcible protest from the residents of the abused canton against this calumny. Talents and Confidence. A single-talent man, supported by great self-confidence, will achieve more than a tentative man who does not believe in himself. The mind cannot act with vigor in the presence of doubt. A wavering mind makes a wavering execution. There must be certainty, confidence and assurance, or there can be no efficiency. An uneducated man who believes in himself, and who has faith that he can do the thing he undertakes, often puts to shame the average college-bred man, whose overculture and wider outlook have sometimes bred increased sensitiveness and a lessening of self-confidence, whose decision has been weakened by constant weighing of conflicting theories and whose prejudices are always open to conviction.-Success. The deceived wife may feel that there is no balm in Gilead, but alimony is a pretty good substitute. When you come to say goodbye to old sins, it is unwise to hold a farewell meeting. When a man is complimentsed, he may not swallow it all, but he thinks there is something in it.—Atchison Globe. The man who puts heart into his work will always get ahead of it.

Because man is naturally a fighting animal, he loves to overcome difficulties and level obstacles. "The fruit at the top of the tree must be the best and sweetest," he argues, and so he yearns for the almost unattainable, the more difficulties he conquests, the more branches he climbs, the more desirable, pliquant, and lovable does the dangling fruit at the summit of the tree appear. It is in human nature to highly value that which is hardly attained; hence, it is that a man's love is fed by the hindrances which are placed in his way.—Exchange. Authors at Their Work Authors at Their Work. Anthony Trollope confessed that it was his custom to write with his watch before him and to require from himself 250 words every quarter of an hour. Longfellow's translation of the "inferno" was the result of ten minutes' daily work at a standing desk in his library while his coffee was reaching the boiling point. So soon as the kettle hissed he folded his portfolio, not to resume work until the following morning. Buffon declared himself utterly incapable of thinking to good purpose except in full court dress, not even omitting his sword. Tombing. The little son of an American mother and English father, who was being instructed in English history by the latter, was deeply impressed by the stories of England's kings and other great men, most of whom happened to be entombed in Westminster abbey. Seeking his mother he proposed that the next time they were in London together she should take him tombing in the abbey. And why not? The lad, in coining the word, doubtless had in mind visiting, shopping, slumming. Why not "tombing" with the hosts of sightssees? Wasn't Quite Sure. "How did you get on with your written examinations?" inquired a gentle friend of a young Hebrew who had been undergoing the ordal prescribed for those who present themselves for the Jewish rite of confirmation. "Pretty good," replied the boy, "But I don't feel quite sure of all my answers." "What, for instance?" "Why, that one, How did Moses deliver the children of Israel?" "Did you answer it?" "Oh, yes, I answered it." "What did you say?" "C. O. D." STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey, so. District Court, Second Judicial District. In the Matter of the application of Emma J.
