QUEER ABODES OF SAVAGES OUTDOOR SPORTS IN ENGLAND MINE OF RAINBOW WOOD TAKING A CHINESE OATH VOL. 22. NO. 3. Waldemar Jochelson, the Russian scientist, who has recently returned to the United States from Siberia, where he spent two years as head of the Jesup expedition, tells many interesting things of the maritime Koryak, living in scattered villages along the shores south of the Behring and Okhtik seas. A striking and characteristic phase of Koryak life, according to the author, is their peculiar hour-class-like honeymoon, a markable subterranean habitation, having a fetid atmosphere almost unbearable to the white traveler. From a distance one of the houses has the appearance of some huge inverted funnel arising out of a snowbank. The craterlike top, besides forming a roof, is used as a general storing place for food and all sorts of articles. It slopes down, which is an aperture in the center, which is as a smoke hole, ventilator and passage way. A number of logs arranged in a circuit, port the framework of the roof, the lower end of which rests on a secondary pile of timbers, forming the slanting walls of the interior. For nearly nine months the whole house is banked and covered up al- Oxford and Cambridge football is never afire with the flaming spirit of sacrifice and daring which our college came inspires in its champions, writes Ralph D. Paine in the Century. Football in the English student life is simply one feature of outdoor play, which draws its thousands also to the cricket fields and river. The American youth prefers his kind of football, just as he would scorn the notion of substituting the placid and tedious rivalry cricket for the swift crisis with a more inward innings of baseball. From his fingertip, something vital is missing from space where players can find cheerfulness in defcat and where onlookers arose to no more enthusiasm than at a matinee. When an American crew is training for a Henley invasion, or a track team dares try conclusions with the flower of Oxford and Cambridge, it would be rank disloyalty not to strain every effort, at whatever sacrifice, to be as fit as possible. On the other hand, English athletes have allowed the visitors to beat them The collecting of rainbow wood is a comparatively new industry in Maine. Though the dwellers along the seaboard have known for years that driftwood picked up from the salt water gave out iridescent tints when burned in open grates, they attached no value to the coloring of the flames until the wood was changed the picking of driftwood from an occupation akin to idleness into a profitable calling. For five years the whole coast line of Penobscot bay has been scoured in quest of wood, and when the supply grew scarce and the prices advanced from $10 to $25 a cord, a Boston chemist grew rich by inventing a powder which when burned with dry wood yielded colors nearly as bright as the genuine wood from the sea. A farmer, who sold considerable driftwood in former years, went to the salt meadows at the foot of his field and began to dig a supply of muck. When he had excavated a hole about ten feet deep he came to a flooring of great In the Straits Times of Singapore appears a description of the way Chinamen took an oath before giving testimony in a lawsuit, "At 2 o'clock," it says, "all the parties were on the ground behind the courthouse with a large company of spectators in attendance. It had lain with the plaintiff to provide the fows and he certainly had not followed the old scriptural behest that the sacrificial lamb should be the sweetest of the flock or the dove the whitest and plumper in the brood. Two meager cockeers, whose original color may have been white but was now a drab gray, foundered on the ground with their legs tied and beside them lay joss sticks and little candles and a murderous-looking chopper. The interpreter having gone through the preliminaries, one of the Chinamen fixed the joss sticks in the ground and set them afire. Then in a businesslike manner he cut off the birds and was preparing to cut off its head upon a loose brick.

Undoubtedly the most astonishing and spectacular feature of the Koryak house is the means of entrance. The roof is attained by scaling a narrow split log, extending down from the top, having holes cut in it for the feet and hands. The interior is reconfigured in a stairway and pendicular hwn stairway covered with a slippery coat of grease and soot, which none but a native can successfully accomplish. The inclusion has a ground floor and is barren of anything in the shape of furniture. Large copper vessels for cooking seal and blubber and a kettle used for melting snow are the chief house utensils. The diet is limited almost exclusively to fish, half-cooked seal and whale flesh, with Russian brick tea as an occasional luxury.

Therefore the young Briton thinks they are not worth learning to do very well, because the work is not worth the cost, and there is no fun in it. Of football it is especially true that the Englishman would see no sport in a style of game in which winning form is to be gained only by prodigious exertion and a very martyrdom of training.

Kindling a fire about a log of this wood Bowden found that it gave out very brilliant hues of indigo and green. No sooner had he made this discovery than he stopped digging muck and went to mining rainbow wood. He loaded a schooner with cut wood and sent it to his Boston patrons, who paid him $22 a cord for the cargo asked for more. Since then Bowden has hired all the men who are willing to work and is digging out the trunks in his buried forest and selling them at fancy figures.

A story of exposure and hardship, with the heroic efforts of the crew to keep afloat more thrilling than that which has afforded the theme for many novels of tales of the sea, is the tale of the officers and seamen of the little gunboat Wasp. For over fifty-two hours this frail little craft was tossed and buffeted about during the terrific storm which swept along the eastern coast recently. With water pouring into the compartments, extinguishing the fires under the boilers, and with the heavy seas breaking over them, pouring down the hatches and companionways, until nearly six feet of water was below decks, the crew heroically stuck to their posts. Steward White was thrown against a stanchion by the violent lurch of the vessel as a big wave struck her. Two of his ribs were broken, but not a man could be spared, but he valiantly remained at his pose in the bailing line. None Would Give Up. Many of the sailors were green men, several of the apprentices of the naval station composing the crew. Many were very sick, but they continued to ball. Others resorted to prayer. With the fires out the cold water as it struck the deck formed a thin glare of ice. Many of the men slipped and fell and were only saved by grasping handrails from being swept overboard by the augur sea, which swept the ship from stem to crest. good spirits and he was the hero of the hour. Boatswain's Mate August B. Biel, who fastened the hammocks to the rigging during the heavy gale to help steady the ship, said. "I have been knocking about the sea for about twenty years now, but that is the worst experience that I ever have encountered. We didn't care so much about the weather as we did for the water which was pouring into the boat from some leak. "The little ship was fast filling up and we were afraid that at any moment one of the plates would go way and we would go to the bottom. "It was a fearful experience, but Sent to Help Brig. Loud are the praises of the men for Second Officer Shepley, who was everywhere, lending encouragement to the men. It was on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 16, that the Wasn, while lying at the the ship is sinking. navy yard at Newport, received orders to go in search of the brig Henry Smith, which was reported in distress off Nauctucket. Mishap was in store for the gunboat before it got to sea. With only one boiler in working order it put out and the first hard luck was struck when the craft grounded off the training station. Stuck to Her Task. It was soon pulled off, however, and put to sea at the distressed vessel. It was blowing hard and the sea was running high, but in spite of this the little ship stuck her nose into the sea and by 6 o'clock was off No-Mans-Land. The engines were slowed down so as to reach a Nautucket by daylight. During the night the wind increased to a gale while the seas lashed themselves into a fury, so the gunboat was headed for shore to gain a shelter of safety. A course west by north was taken, and after running along about fifteen minutes, word was sent up from the fireroom that the ship was taking water. The barge pumps were put to work, they were useless in the emergency and would not carry the water off. Resorted to Hand Bailing. All hands were called immediately and Boatswain Shephey was placed in charge of the men, and armed with buckets the crew began bailing. Steadily they worked hour after hour against great odds, the water all the while gradually gained on them and threatening to swamp them before jumping onto the oars. Higher and higher rose the water in the fireroom, washing out the fires in the lower furnaces, the men standing knee deep in the water which had now become almost boiling and from which a thick steam arose, choking the workers. After herically laboring in this manner for over an hour, the men were forced to over up the struggle room, after closing all shuices in the water tight doors to the fireroom were opened and the bucket brigade began taking the water out that way. Left in Darkness. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning the water had risen to the height of three feet in all the compartment. The fires were put out and the dynamo failed, leaving the men in darkness. Lanters were then hastily procured, by the dull light of which the men continued at the arduous task. The wind had increased to over seven miles an hour, while the sea was breaking over the boat with a thunderous roar. The Wasp was being tossed about like a cockle shell. The sailors feared that at any moment it would be broken in pieces by the angry waves. Defective Page Steward White was thrown against a stanchion by the violent lurching of the vessel as a big wave struck her. Two of his ribs were broken, but not could be spared, and he valiantly remained at his pose in the balling line. None Would Give Up. Many of the sailors were green men, several of the apprentices of the naval station stationing the crew. Many were very sick, but they continued to bail. Others resorted to prayer. With the fires out the cold water as it struck the deck formed a thin glaze of ice. Many of the men slipped and fell and were only saved by grasping handrails from being swept overboard in seas which swept the ship from stem to stem. For thirty-two hours steadily was the work kept up, without any member of the crew gaining a moment's rest. Food was handed to them, but only two could eat at one time. At the end of that time Boatswain Shepley, who was the life of the crew. 1 THE WASP IN THE STORM arrived at the conclusion that other means had to be resorted to in order to keep the ship afloat. Great white bags, which the sailors pack their clothes in, were sent for, and a whip was rigged up to haul them on deck when they had been filled with water. **Turn of the Battle.** The tide of battle then changed in favor of the sailors, and they worked with redoubled energy. Gradually the water in the fireroom was decreased until after a few hours fires were again started in the upper furnaces. Not enough steam could be raised to propel the ship and she still lay in the trough of the sea at its mercy, although the danger had been somewhat lessened by the gain on the water in the hold. The men were now allowed to rest, the crew being placed in squads and given one-half an hour's sleep. By Monday noon the storm had greatly abated, and the sailors were set fore and atft, while the men's hammocks were spread in the rigging to steady the ship. In this manner the ship was able to make about two knots an hour and managed to creep into port in a badly crippled condition, late Tuesday afternoon. The long absence of the Wasp had caused uneasiness at the navy yard, and its appearance as it slowly wended its way up the harbor was hailed with a cheer from the crowd, which had gathered on the quay to greet it. Seven of the crew were taken to the Naval hospital, suffering from bruises and exposure, while nearly all the members required medical treatment. Praise Their Officers When reporters greeted the crew soon after their arrival in port they were one and all loud in their praises of the bravery and coolness displayed by the officers. It was told how an oler by the name of Black, kept the spirits of the men keyed up by singing when the outlook for their safety was the darkest. When the danger was greatest he sang all the louder. His husty singing kept the men in Turn of the Battle good spirits and he was the hero of the hour. What the Boatwain Says. Boatwain's Mate August B. Biel, who fastened the hammocks to the rigging during the heavy gale to help steady the ship, said: "I have been knocking about the sea for about twenty years now, but that is the worst experience that I ever have encountered. We didn't care so much about the weather as we did for the water which was pouring into the boat from some leak. "The ship was fast filling up and we were afraid that at any moment one of the plates would give way and we would go to the bottom. "It was a fearful experience, but none of the boys lost their nerve and all worked with a will. They realized that it was a question of life or death. I am glad we pulled through all right and I don't want to meet an experience like that again." This is the second time that Boatwain Sweeney has proven himself a hero. He was an officer on the ill-fated auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, which foundered of Guam in the Philippines a few years ago. On that occasion he distinguished himself by displaying great coolness and bravery. Oil Torned Overboard. He said: "We had a very tough time of it, but the boys showed remarkable courage and we pulled R through all right. We had to throw bags of oil overboard to calm the waves about us. "The chances appeared very much against us at one time. The seas broke over the bow, sweeping the decks fore and aft. Everything had been securely lashed so nothing was carried away." And so these men, who like all men who go down to the sea in ships risk their lives, have come home to await the time when they must risk them once more. Chances Galore for the Roy Marthes Galeor for the Boy. The boy of to-day has little to fear that the field is becoming overcrowded in our own country. It is just being open access, is for the young men who are just beginning to think what a wonderful world this is, to study well the achievements of the past and to see in what mannequins are to be improved. Never did the world call more loudly, more insistently, for young men with force, energy and purpose—young men trained to do some one thing—than to-day and every year that cries grow louder more insistent. But the times demand men of large, liberal, energetic minds, and the man who insist on doing business in the old-fashioned, humdum way is as much behind the procession as is the man who insists on traveling with an ox team instead of by railway.—Atlanta Journal. Lord Odo Russell's Reminder Lord Odo Russell, while calling on Prince Bismarck during the sitting of the Berlin conference, asked him how he managed to rid himself of that class of important visitors whom he could not well refuse to see but whose room he found preferable to their company. "I have replied the chancellor, I have a very simple method; my wife knows them pretty well, and when she sees they are with me she generally contrives to come in and call me aay upon some pretext or another." He had scarcely finished speaking when the princess put her head in at the door and said: "My dear, you must come and take your medicine; you ought to have had it."

At the request of the President, Secretary Shaw has agreed to remain at the head of the Treasury Department.

Bishop Charles S. Smith of the A.M. E. Church was in Washington recently, and in an interview denies that Cape Colony draws the color line. "When a man qualifies as a voter in South Africa, whether white, colored or black, there is no obstruction to his voting, and he casts his vote. it is counted. "There are no 'grandfather's clauses' or other subtertures like there are in the southern states of this country to eliminate the colored vote. And so I voice and say 'shame to America.'" "There are no 'Jim Crow' cars in Cape Colony," he says. "There are no separate railroads and trolley cars as there are in the southern states. It is not true, as I have seen it stated in the news, that the natives are not allowed to walk on the pavements in Cape Town. "There are no lynchings or burnings in South Africa." The bishop will return to South Africa in a few weeks. Gen. J. Warren Keifer, of Springfield, Ohio, expects to introduce his bill proposing a reduction of the representation of the southern states in the House some time this month. He has been occupied since he came to Washington collecting data on the subject and will soon begin drafting the measure. There is one important point on which he is undecided, and that is whether to treat separately each southern state that has disfranchised American or to include all in one general plan. The general has planned to stir up public sentiment on the proposition to curtail the size of the delegation of all states that do not permit Afro-Americans to vote. He has mapped out a novel campaign, a feature of which is the big public meetings in some of the big cities of the United States.

A young and energetic coal merchant of the northwest side has invented a new way to advertise his business. It is probably the most modern one of its kind, and to say the least, it is attractive to the eye—especially to those of the masculine persuasion. His invention is a petite brunette of nineteen summers, as pretty as a fairy queen, and the only fear of the coal merchant is that some of his cusharms, will marry her and take her away before he can amass a fortune at the coal business by having her in the office of a drawing card. This young man is the employer of the "human advertising card" and the owner of the fuel store said that he concluded previous to buying the place that the only thing that would trade would be a beautiful young girl in the office whose sole duties were to sit in front of the window and look happy. But her orders upon starting at her new appointee^4 position were these: "Do not lift; sit and look wise." This is the young woman has to do all day, as the energetic young coal merchant attends to all the office duties. Of course, there is no danger of the employer becoming infatuated with his help. Several sign painters have called at the place demanding to join their union, alleging for a reason that their presence at the office does away with the necessity of lettering the windows. — Chicago Chronicle --- HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. --- SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1906. The Afro-American of the North would be very grateful to Bishop Galloway of Mississippi if he would stay at home and promulgate his race theories in Vardamanland. In an address to the students of Northwestern University, he said that lynching is inhuman and un-Christian. That much is all right, but when he went further and said that the majority of the Afro-Americans should have manual training, he is wrong. THE APPEAL believes that the Afro-American should have the same training that the Caucasian receives. Continuing the bishop said: "Four facts must be considered as established in dealing with this question. There can never be any commending of the Afro-American will be educated in his own schools and worship in his own churches. 3. Political power will remain in present hands. 4. The great body of the Afro-Americans are here to stay." After laying down the foregoing propositions, Bishop Galloway had the nerve to say: "We must insist that the Afro-American have every opportunity to develop that is accorded any other citizen." The first proposition, there is commingling of the races all over the country. In the South it is usually illicit, while in the North it is both illicit and legitimate. WILLIAM H. HARRIS SENATOR SHELBY M. CULLOM One of the few men now living who knew Abraham Lincoln before he became a national character. He sat at the feet of Lincoln and drank inspiration from that noble soul. The laws of the South encourage illicit relations and they are "illogical, inhuman and un-Christian." The laws of the South which make the Afro-Americans a parish class and force them to attend inferior separate school are "illogical, inhuman and un-Christian." The statement that political power will remain in present hands is probably true but that is no justification of hellish means which have been used to steal away the civil rights of the Afro-American people and it is too much to say that the race will forever submit to the inhuman and un-Christian treatment it is now receiving. The last proposition is absolutely true. The Afro-Americans are to stay and the intelligent ones will resist to the bitter end, the attempts of the Vardamans and Galloways to keep them down. ing necessary many pariphrases and explanations. This may be remedied in the following way: All inhabitants might be referred to as U. S. Americans; and when it became necessary to be more specific, the Northern folks might be designated as Yankee-Americans and the Southern people as Jim Crow Americans. We would then have a perfectly definite classification which everybody would understand. In the death of Thomas J. Emery of Cincinnati, the Afro-American people lose a great friend. In addition to his many local charities he gave liberty to Berea College in Kentucky, an institution founded for the education of both Afro-American and Caucasian student, although it has yielded to the infamous Kentucky statute which pro Vardaman and Galloway are not far apart. Vardaman would give little education, Galloway thinks the masses of the race should have little more than the rudiments of education. Galloway is a more dangerous man than Vardaman, whose theories are present in such brutal frankness that they shock his northern hearers. On the contrary Galloway with his smooth periods can do the race incalculable harm. In a nutshell his idea is that the Afro-American should not be lynched; in all other respects he should be an alien in the land of his birth. AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY ABROAD. In the recent killing of a number of American missionaries at Liechau, China, a Hong Kong dispatch puts this aspect on the incident:— The Liechau massacre was due to the unhappy action of Mrs. Machel, who, on the refusal of some of the members of a native procession to desist from worshiping the idols they carried, seized the idols and declined to restore them to the owners. Thereupon the infuriated processionists surrounded and destroyed the mission and attacked the inmates. They then murdered them and threw their bodies into the river. The mob did not interfere with six French priests who lived in the neighborhood. We must say that taking into consideration the contempts for the feelings and rights of dark-skinned races so sedulously cultivated in the United States as to have received the sanction of the Courts and the Christian church, there is nothing improbable in the foregoing dispatch. Mrs. Machle's zeal for God was not according to knowledge; and, naturally provoked, though it did not justify the horrible result which followed. Missionaries are not sent out with rapid-firing guns and swords to compel heathen nations to abandon idolatry, and the Lienchow massacre shows the deplorable results which may follow attempts to carry out the American Christian cult in so-called heathen lands. THE AMERICAN The title American is often used to designate the inhabitants of the United States. But those inhabitants are no more Americans than the Canadians or Patagonians. We have experienced some trouble in respect to the use of the word and will note some of the ideas which have occurred to us in Mexico, Canadian, Patagonian and specific and convenient enough: while the word American is a misfit, meaning too little or too much, and render- REV. A. J. SAREX The Brilliant and Popular Pastor of Bethel Chapel, A. M. E. Church, Chicago. ing necessary many pariphrases and explanations. This may be remedied in the following way: All inhabitants might be referred to as U. S. Americans; and when it became necessary to be more specific, the Northern folks might be designated as Yankee-Americans and the Southern people as Jim Crow-Americans. We would then have a perfectly definite classification which everybody would understand. In the death of Thomas J. Emery of Cincinnati, the Aro-American people lose a great friend. In addition to his many local charities he gave liberals many local help in Kentucky, an institution founded for the education of both Aro-American and Caucasian student, although it has yielded to the infamous Kentucky statue which prohibits mixed schools. SENATOR A. J. HOPKINS. All Right on the Race Question. Friend of Afro-Americans. Hon. Albert J. Hopkins, Illinois' junior senator never hesitates to talk out plainly in the interest of the Afro-American people. He believes that the alleged state governments in the South and statesites on representative government. Hon. A. J. Hopkins. Replying to the infamous utterances of Tillman, Vardman, Hefflin, Graves and other Southern fire-eaters. Senator Hopkins said: "The ark of Anglo-Saxon civilization has not been intrusted exclusively to the Bourbon Democrats of the South. Neither is the sanctity of the home reverenced exclusively by political leaders who now control the destinies of the old slave-holding commonwealths. I take it that both these are dear to the American people, irrespective of section and of political affiliations, seems to me that if the South persists in its present attitude it will inevitably degrade the Afro-American taking from him all the high endeavor and crowding him down into the darker places and compelling him always to tread a level lower than than troden by his white countrymen "And that thought brings me to the crux of this question, namely, that the Democratic party is foisting upon the country a policy which will result in our having in this nation two great classes—the one riding upon the backs and the strength of the whites depending on the strength of the blacks. Lincoln said that the nation could not continue half slave and half free." IN THE BALTIC PROVINCES --- WHISKY BOTTLE IN ARCHIVES MVST FIGHT FOR SUCCESS OVEER GIFTS TO JOCKEYS THE OLD LOVED TUNES Russia's Baltic provinces are at the present time busily engaged in making history, so that the following facts may be of interest. Esthonia, Kurland and Livonia are the districts principally involved. In all three the aristocracy is German in language and race, but composes only a small part of the population. In Esthonia the vast majority of the inhabitants are Esthais, a Finnish people of Uralo-Altaic stock. Livonia and Kurland are inhabited chiefly by the Letts, closely allied to the Lithuanians. The Russians constitute but a small fraction of the inhabitants of the district. In the thirteenth century the heathen peoples dwelling on the shores of the Baltic were subugafed by the Knights, Sword-Bearers and Teutonic knights, who introduced the German civilization. With the Lithuanians the Letts constitute a separate division of the Aryan, or Indo-European family. The old Russians belonged to the Letto-Lithuanian stock. These Letto-Lithuanians are physically well built. The face is mostly elongated, the features fine. The very fair hair, blue eyes and delicate skin distinguish them from the Poles and Russians. Their dress is usually plain in comparison with that of the A whisky bottle is filled away with care among the archives of the Hawaiian government, as are also two of the nodding chicken feather helmet adornments formerly worn by King Kalalaaua on state occasions. The bottle is certainly a unique "document" for the archives, but a written statement across the face of the label shows that it played an important part in the revolution of 1895, when the attempt was made to overthrow the republic and restore the queen to her throne. Th bottle is an ordinary one, with a bulging oork, and is about half full of a liquid of which, for some reason or another, no one in the capitol is willing to partake. Across the face is the following written with pen and ink "In re treason of Gullick et al. Ex B. Filed this 21st day of January, 1895. J. W. Jones, 1st Lieut. Co. D. N. G. H., Recorder." After the death of Charles Carter at Diamond Head, who was killed by revolutionists, the government troops Many a man has tried to justify his failure on the ground that he was doomed by the cards which fate dealt him, that he must pick them up and play the game, and that no effort, however great, on his part could materially change the result, says a writer in Success. But, my young friend, the fate that deals your cards is in the main your own resolution. The result of the game does not rest with fate or destiny, but with you. You will take the trick if you have the superior energy, ability and determination requisite to take it. You have the power within yourself to change the value of the cards which, you say, fate has dealt you. The game depends upon your training, upon the way you are disciplined to seize and use your opportunities and upon your ability to put grit in the place of superior advantages. Just because circumstances do sometimes give clients to lawyers and patients to physicians, put commonplace clergymen in uncommon pulpits, and place the sons of the rich at the head of great corporations even when One of the greatest of living jockeys has a most remarkable collection of tributes from admirers, unknown and otherwise. It contains, among other strange things, pawn tickets, writs and summons contributed by unsuccessful backers of his mounts, talismans of all kinds to bring him luck in his races, sermons and tracts for his spiritual welfare, recipes for all kinds of alliments from coughs to a tendency to corpulence, forms for insuring against accidents, offers of marriage, accompanied by bundles of photographs of would-be wives, welshers' tickets and a pair of woutorn bootts with the legend: "All that is left of them after walking from York to London; backed all your mounts." A few years ago, after his horse had lost an important race, a well-known turfman went up to the jockey and made him a formal and public presentation of a silver snuffbox, saying that if he would look inside he would see the kind of horse he ought to ride in future. The jockey opened the THE OLD LO A boy we had belongin' us, an' och, but he was gay.

And one, being a Hypocrite, said in his Heart: "Ali men are Mortal, and this One must Die sometime, although, unfortunately, his Doctor understands his Case. So I will Pretend to Love my Uncle and Bear with him and Tend him with Great Care and Tender Assiduity." But the Other Nephew who was blunt and Honest in his Feelings, said to All Whom it did Not Concern: "Why should I pretend to Care for My Uncle when I Don't and Play the Hypocrite. He cannot but Respect --- Poles, and grayish colors predominate in it. Their language has great similarity to the Sanskrit. The popular poetry of both the Letts and Lithuanians is rich in both idyllic and lyric songs, imbued with the tenderest love and melancholy and a most poetical feeling for nature, and are remarkable for their absolute chastity. The national character is fully expressed in them—not warlike at all, but melancholy and sociable. In the Lettish song, there is an added characteristic, the hatred which the people feel toward the German landholders. Despite the fact that the people are either Lutherans or Roman or Greek Catholics, the names of the old pagan divinities, very numerous in their former mythology, are continually mentioned in songs and also in common speech. The forests of Livonia and Kurland have played an important part in their history. Their chief priest worshiped in the forests, the people brought their offerings to their divinities at the foot of mighty oaks, and even during the fourteenth century the "zinez," an inextinguishable fire, was maintained. To this day traces of the worship of oak trees may be seen. were dispatched to Bertelmann's place and put on guard. It was a strenuous time. One night when the guards were being changed every hour, so that no sentry would have an opportunity of falling asleep, the officer in charge is said to have sent for some hot coffee. This would aid in keeping the soldiers awake. The coffee came. Also a bottle of whisky was brought along. The officers said the men could drink coffee, but not whisky. It was suggested that whisky might be put in the coffee. No. It might make them drowsy. But it happened that one of the soldiers drank some whisky. He fell asleep half an hour afterward and did not wake until the next morning about daylight. He was shaken several times during the night but he was in a deep, heavy slumber and could not be awakened. The bottle of whiskey was kept in the camp. The contents are, and probably will remain untouched, for there seems to be a general impression about that the contents were, and may be still, "doped."—Hololulu Commercial Advertiser. they have only average ability and scarcely any experience, while poor youths with greater ability and more experience often have to fight their way for years to obtain ordinary situations, are you justified in starting out without a chart or in leaving a place for luck in your program? What would you think of the captain of a great liner who would start out to sea without any port in view and trust to luck to land his precious cargo safely? Did you ever know of a strong young man making out his life program and depending upon chance to carry out any part of it? Men who depend upon "luck" do not think it worth while to make a thorough preparation for success. They are not willing to pay the regular price for it. They are looking for bargains.

It was the same satirical owner who on another occasion presented his jockey with a sumptuous casket, which on being opened disclosed a wooden spoon, and to a third jockey who had failed to win an important race he handed a pair of crutches bought from a beggar on the course. When John Singleton, a clever jockey of nearly two centuries ago, first won a race in Yorkshire the farmer whose he had ridden to victory was so delighted with his achievement that he made him a present of a ewe, whose offspring soon mustered a round dozen, and really started the exshepherd lad on his career as a jockey. Singleton was very proud of and grateful for his singular fee. In this respect he furnished a great contrast to a well-known jockey who, when a check for $1,500 was handed to him by the owner $c, a horse on which he won a race, crumpled it up contemptuously with the remark that he had "often received more for riding a 2-year-old."

SEARS-DODD THE FIRST GRAND WEDDING OF THE NEW YEAR SOLEMNIZED., Pilgrim Baptist Church Crowded to the Doors With Friends of the Contracting Parties—Grand Reception at Home of Bride's Parents. One of the most notable of the several recent weddings and the first grand church wedding of the new year was solemnized at Pilgrim Baptist church on last Tuesday evening, the high contracting parties being Mr. Benjamin Sears, a young theologian, and Miss Pamela Hope Dodd, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dodd, a graduate of the high school, one of the prominent young women in the club and society circles, also an indeftigible church worker. Several hundred invitations had been issued, and the church was crowded to its utmost capacity. The marriage ceremony was scheduled for 7 o'clock and it was only little after that hour when the bridal party appeared. The church platform had been decorated with numerous palms and an arch of white extended from one side to the other, dependent from the center of which hung a white wedding bell. When the wedding party arrived at the church, the doors leading to the center aisle were thrown open and the party proceeded to the altar in the following order: 1. First came K. Judge Johnson, chief usher, followed by Messrs. J. H. Hickman, Jr. and A. Rease, Messrs. Irwin Williams and M. A. Bolling; Mr. Elmo Turner brought up the rear of the ushers. Then came the bridesmaids in couples as follows: Misses Minetta Duncan and Susie Clark, Misses Essie Mason and Ada Wilson, Misses Arlene Scott and Mayme Kelly. At the altar the groom accompanied by his best man, Mr. C. A. Miller, met the bride. The party then arranged itself in proper order before Rev. W. D. Carter, the pastor of the church. As the bridal party appeared at the door, Mr. Lafayette Mason of Minneapolis began to play Mendelssohn's Wedding March which he /continued during the march up the alley, but when all had reached the altar Mrs. Wm. Smith of Minneapolis arose in the choir loft and sweetly sang "Oh promise Me." At the end of the honeymoon an appropriate song, Rev. Carter proceeded to the ceremony which wedded the two lovers one. The vows of the couple were repeated as they knelt on two white cushions. The ring used was one of 8 dwt. C. P. gold and was a specimen of the handiwork of the best man, Mr. C. A. Miller, as were also the gold scroll brooches worn by the bridesmaids which had been presented to them by the bride and the oval-shaped stick pins which had been presented to the ushers and the best man by the groom and which were used to pin the bontonnières to the lapels of the coats. On each brooch and pin there was engraved "1906." When the wedding ceremony was concluded Dr. F. C. Nelson of Minneapolis sang "Under the Sheeting Palms" from Florodora. The bridal party then left the church, entered their carriages and were driven to the parish residence of the bride's parents, No. 7 Margaret Street when the wedding reception was held. The house was filled to overflowing and as fast as the guests were presented to the bridal couple and extended their congratulations, they were served with refreshments, they left and others arrived took their places and it was after 11 o'clock all had arrived. About noon at night the bride and groom left amid a shower of rice and good wishes for their future residence No. 573 Iglehart Street. The bride wore a princess gown of ivory satin, full train, tulle veil and carried bride's roses. The maid of honor. Miss Retta Dodd, wife of Paris muslin valenciennes lace ribbon and carried pink roses.

Varying Versions of Origin of Famous Phrase. The phrase "under the rose" had its origin in the wars between the English houses of Lancaster and York. The parties respectively swore by the red or the white rose, and these opposite emblems were displayed as signs of two taverns, one of which was by the side of and the other opposite to the Parliament House, in old Palace Yard, Westminster. Here the retainers and servants of the noblemen attached to the Duke of York and Henry VI used to meet. Here also, as disturbances were frequent, measures, either of defense or annoyance, were taken, and every transaction was said to be done, "under the rose;" by which expression the most profound secrecy was implied. According to others, the term originated in the fable of Cupid giving the rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence, as a bribe to prevent him betraying the amours of Venus, and was hence adopted as the emblem of silence. The rose was for this reason frequently sculptured on the ceilings of drinking and feasting rooms, as a warning to the guests that what was said in moments of conviviality should not be repeated; from which, what was intended to be kept secret was said to me "under the rose." Roses were consecrated as presents from the Pope. In 1526 they were placed over confessions as the symbols of silence. Hence, according to some, the origin of the phrase. WHY SHE LEFT THE MEETING. Aunt L.'s Reasons Not Connected with Theology. In the little Baptist chapel in the picturesque town of Eastport, Me., many years ago, the minister requested all persons present not members of the church to retire at the close of the meeting. Good old Aunt L., who had reached the age of fourscore, and who was one of its most respected members, arose to leave. "It does not apply to you, Aunt L," said the minister. "That is not the reason I am going, dear," she responded; "I have a pain in my stomach."—Boston Herald. Millions Saved by Anesthetics. Mammals saved by Anesthetics. There is no guessing how many thousands of lives were lost before the days of anesthesia merely be cause the pain of the operation necessary to save them was too great to be home. Anesthesia predates asepsis by thirty years, and so belongs to another period in the history of surgery, but it is so fundamental to all the wonders that surgery is now working that its discovery is an inevitable part of any account of surgery's wonderful achievements. Modern surgery is not only painless and germless; it is also bloodless. A patient can be opened and his stomach taken out, and yet hardly lose more blood than if he had accidentally cut' his finger. Feat of a Greek Scholar It may safely be said that no feat of translation in any age has never equalled that achieved by Prof. Jebb in rendering Browning's "Abt Vogler" into Greek verse. This fine, solloquy of the musician is less obscure, no doubt, than many other of its author's productions, but it abounds in imagery and in turns of thought which even an Englishman finds it not very easy to follow and of which he could hardly have conceived it possible that any Greek equivalents should exist. Yet they did exist, for Jebb found them, though it may be doubted whether any other Greek scholar living would have been equally successful in his search. —London Telegraph. The Champion Mean Man: "Talkin' about mean men," said the one who was expected to beat the first story, "I think Sile Hatcher was about the meanest man I ever knew. He was so mean that he painted his house fresh and white every two months just because a neighbor of his that he didn't like had weak eyes and couldn't hardly stand the glare. But he done a meaner thing than that one time. When his wife died the pallbearers bumped a corner of the coffin against the door as they were carryin' it out and bracked one of the panels. Well, sir, blamed if he didn't want them to pay for havin' a new panel put in!" Easy Questions for Tommy Easy Questions for Tommy. "Think," said the teacher who was giving the lesson on nature study, "of a little creature that wriggles about in the earth and sometimes comes to the top through a tiny hole." A small boy in a pinafore put up his hand joyously. "Well?" queried the teacher. "A worm," said the small boy. "Yes," said the teacher; "now think of another little creature that wriggles about in the earth and comes to the top through a small hole." Up when the joyous hand again. "Well?" asked the teacher. "Another worm!" shouted Tommy in triumph. Allowed One Whack. Skipper Josh Melzard, one of the old-time constables in Marblehead, was called to quell a disturbance. When he arrived at the scene of the trouble, one of the parties in the dispute explained how the other fellow had aggravated and insulted him, and said that if he could have one more whack at him he would feel satisfied. Skipper Melzard, after considering the matter a while, replied, "You can have just one whack at him and no more, and then you must come along with me."—Boston Herald.
