FORGOT JURY WAS SHORT COLORS LIKED IN CATTLE STATUS OF PERSIAN WOMEN LIE THAT PROLONGED LIFE NATURAL HAIR VS. WIG VOL. 22. NO. 16. Judge Moore of Augusta, Mass., was telling his experience with a jury while he was trying cases in Kenneb龟 county some years ago. He appeared as counsel; for a man who had been a close friend of his for years, and he decided that the juror, because of past friendship, would stand by him in the case on trial. Finally the case went to the jury. For hours they fought and argued in the jury room in an effort to agree upon a verdict. They came in for instructions, and were again sent out by the judge, who asked them to agree, if such a thing was possible. All night the jury argued and wrangled, and on the opening of court in the morning reported a disagreement and were dismissed. Judge Moore hunted up his friend on the jury and asked him why he could not swing the men into line. "Strangest case I ever heard of." An elderly man entered the third car of an Erie train in Jersey City one evening last week and selected a seat in the center of the car. He carried with care a bag which looked as if it might have contained fruit. Depositing the bag carefully on the seat beside him, he drew a newspaper from his pocket, and soon became so engrossed in reading that he was lost to his surrounding. As the starting time of the train approached the car rapidly filled up, until it was but one seat left vacant. That was the seat next to the old gentleman. A nattily dressed young man, lying his overcoat on his arm, entered the car, cast his eye hurriedly around, spied the seat next to the old gentleman and made a beeline for it. All this time the old gentleman was absorbed in his paper. He failed to notice the approach of the young man. At the shows and sales of pure bred cattle which have just been held in Scotland questions of color have been coming under discussion as if they never had had a serious reviewing and arguments for and against certain shades are pulled up every now and then by "What do the foreigners say? Galloway men can scarcely be said to have a color question except on special occasions when some one with a fondness for what is not always on the card wonders whether the Southwestern cattle, like the Aberdeen-Angus, are in danger of becoming too black.

"A man's worst enemy is his wife," is a frequently quoted saying. "The dog is faithful, the woman never," is another; while a third runs: "Their hair is long, their wilt is short." A molla, speaking in a mosque in Tabriz, said: "They tell us that there are dragons and scorpions in hell. I am not afraid of them. I have a worse hell on earth. My two wives, with their jealousies, quarreling, their demands for dress, etc., give me no peace. I could well leave them for other torments."

"Shorty was an incorruptible liar," said Col. Olm. "He conceived it his first duty to fight hard for the maintenance of the union, and his second to lie hard for the maintenance of his reputation. When the yellow fever broke out Sewall was the first to come down with it, and although he hard against it he was soon held very low by this silent enemy, and one sad day the regimental surgeon told the boys in his company that it was only a question of hours with poor Shorty. As Shorty's case was hopeless, the surgeon allowed his friends to gather about his bedside. He had been told Several years ago the publishers of the well known novel, "Cape Cod Folks," were sued for libel by some of the persons who were used as characters in the book, and were called by their real names in the first edition. Among the plaintiffs were "Grandpa Fisher," one of the leading characters, who was said to have dye his hair on Sunday mornings. The case was tried in Plymouth county and the counsel for the plaintiffs was the late James Brown of Taunton, who had yellow hair of a peculiar shade, while the counsel for the defendants was the late Charles G. Davis of Plymouth, who wore a wig. Mr. Brown, in his opening address to the jury, contended that his client, "Grandpa Fisher," was held up to ridicule by the statement that he dyed said the juror, "and we ain't found out yet about it. After we had talked the case over a while we balloted. There were eleven for acquittal, and the twelfth man did not vote. We talked it over for a while, balloted again, and it stood just the same, the twelfth man refusing to vote. We asked every man how he stood on the case, and they all favored acquittal, and I'll be hanged if, when we voted, it wasn't eleven for acquittal, with the confounded twelfth hog refusing to vote. We kept it up all night, but he made it, and we finally gave up in disguise." For "heaven's sake," exclaimed Judge Moore, "don't you remember that we agreed to try that case with eleven jurors, as one member of the panel was taken sick just before court came in?" "Well, I'll be darned," shouted the juror; "that accounts for the whole business." who cast his overcoat over the seat and plumped himself down with a sat isfied grunt. There was an ominous cracking sound, and the young man sprang up much more quickly than he had sat down. He lifted his overcoat and smelled with the yolks of eggs. He glared fiercely at the old gentleman. "Did those eggs belong to you?" he demanded fiercely. The elderly one looked up, grasped the situation and replied innocently: "Why, no; those weren't my eggs. They were there when I sat down, and I thought they belonged to some one who would return for them later." "Well, if I knew who owned those eggs I'd swig his neck!" missed the teeth through his teeth, looking at his owl.

During the last few years there has been a moderate reaction in home abattoirs on circles against the pursuit of dark roan.

"When the gates of hell are opened the Mussulman men will go in first," is the wife's stock retort. The love of a Persian for his mother is in pleasing and startling contrast with his treatment of the sex in general, and his wives in particular. A son has never been known to let his mother starve, as sometimes happens in Occidental nations. Even when he is a man of family, his mother's slightest wish is law to him, and he will put himself to great trouble to satisfy her sillest whim. Nor does he make his various mothers-in-law the butt of his favorite jokes. Strange as it may seem to the Western mind, he welcomes his mothers-in-law with unfeigned pleasure under his root; he looks upon them as faithful guardians of the virtue of his wives. of his coming end, and was facing it as bravely as he had ever faced the foe. Too weak to shake hands with his comrades, he welcomed them to his side with a brave smile on his pain-wrecked face; he bade them all good-bye at once, explaining that he intended to die game and doing his duty. As he couldn't possibly die fighting, his only chance was to dieying, and he calmly informed his comrades, he purposed doing. In spite of their tender remonstrance he began his lie. "Well, comrades, there isn't much more to tell. Shorty's lie was such a whopper that it choked him so hard he couldn't draw his last breath, and so he recovered."

Mr. Davis, in addressing the jury, made light of that contention, and continued as follows: "But, gentlemen, it isn't anything against a man that he dyes his hair. It oftentimes improves his personal appearance. Take my brother, Brown, for instance. He might dye his hair to good advantage. This caused quite a laugh, but the court room was convulsed when Mr. Brown, in making the closing argument relied as follows: "Gentlemen, I know my hair is a mighty mean color, but there is a difference between my hair and Brother Davis: Mine grew where you see it, and his didn't." THE APPEAL. Runs of Glastonbury Abbey, where to have been buried Ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, where Arthur is reputed to have been buried. Defective Page There is a fair prospect, that the mystery surrounding the Arthurian legend will be cleared up within a few years. Dr. H. Oskar Somner, who, fifteen years ago, reprinted Malory's "Morte d'Arthur" from the original edition by Caxton, and accompanied it with a most thorough examination of the author's sources, has been sent out by the Carnegie Institute at Washington to continue, and, if possible, to complete his researches. The institute has received $20,000 to this work, which is expected to occupy Doctor Somner three years in English and Continental libraries. The influence the Arthurian romances have had on English and European literature generally is not easily measured, for it is enormous; but notwithstanding its controlling power, exerted now for more than four centuries, there is no agreement upon the question whether Arthur was a historic personage or only the creation of an early chronicler Doctor Somner, who is acknowledged the foremost living authority on the subject, does not commit himself in his almost exhaustive study, published in 1891. He only halts a moment to remark: "Whether real or mythological, the most immaginal of King Arthur has become immaginal of King Arthur in song and tradition, and many a place name throughout Britain testifies to his renown." Milton, Temple and Littleton, not to mention some lesser students of Anglo-Saxon literature, were of opinion that the valiant hero, his round table and his doughty knights belong to mythology. This opinion was based upon the fact that neither Gildas nor Bede, two of the earliest English chroniclers, mentions Arthur. On the other hand, Hume, who may not satisfy the student as an authority, was willing to assert his assertion in Ciceron's preface to his edition of St. Thomas Malory's "Morte d'Arthur": that Arthur was a real British King. In this connection it is well to bear in mind that Caxton puts the authority of the statement on others. Malory's work is known to have been completed "in the ninth year of the reign of King Edward IV," or 1469-70. Caxton printed the book in 1469, some years after he had set up his press in Westminster, and consequently must have been more or less familiar with the knight's sources. Even the book to-day would not accept the "Morning of the Knight," as a truthful narrative, but the fact that Arthur is surrounded by such extravagant manmade and made the hero of a manifest fiction does not invalidate a theory of his reality. The apparent starting point of the Arthurian legend is to be found in the "History of the Britons," written in the twelfth century by Geoffrey of Monmouth, who died soon after his consecration as Bishop of St. Asaph. Geoffrey is said to have founded his remarkable chronicle upon the history written by Nennius, but it must be proved that the Nennius manuscripts are veracious before Arthurian students will accept Arthur as a real beast. Nennius, of whom "Historia Britonum" twenty-nine manuscripts are reported to exist, refers to Arthur in this way: "Then it was that the magnanimous Arthur, with all the kings and military force of Britain, fought against the Saxons. * * The first battle in which he was engaged was at the mouth of the river Glein; the second, third, fourth and fifth were on another river, by the Britons called the region Limus. The sixth on the river Limus. The seventh in the wood Celidon. The eighth near Guinion Castle, where Arthur the image of the Holy Virgin Mother of God upon his shoulders, put the Saxons to flight, and pursued them the whole day, with great slaughter. The ninth was at the City of the Legion, which they call Cair Lion. The tent was on the banks of the river Trat Treurolt. The eleventh was on the mountain Breguilon, which we call Cat Bregion. The twelfth was a most severe contest, when Arthur penetrated to the hill of Badon." there is a gap of significance that there is a gap of significance in the Saxon record of victory on British mainland, coinciding very nearly with what came to be known afterward as "the Peace of Mount Badon." Badon is the modern Bath, and there it was that Arthur, according to the disputed chronicles, finally conquered the Saxons, who held away in the eastern side of Britain. Gildas mentions the battle of Mount Gildas mentions the battle of Mount Badon, which is believed to have been Did he live or are his deeds the work of fancy? Tintagel Church, in the Arthur Country fought about the year 516. The old Welsh chronicle remarks that he was born the same year, and says that he is writing his history forty-four years later. The Irish annals record the death of Gildas as an exile in 570. Scholars generally have viewed the history of Nannius with suspicion. Not a few of them have declared the work to be a forgery, but none as yet, apparently, has advanced a motive for alleged fraud. Were any of the nenniuses reported to exist of recent recent the motive would be apparent, for during the last century it is believed there were medieval manuscripts. That the Nennius manuscripts in the keeping of various European libraries are all of very great age is a statement that never has been controverted. Yet there are scores of students of medieval sey, where Arthur is reputed. literature who insist that Nennius is a myth, and his history a sadly jumbled and illformed fiction. A great deal of Nennius is, indeed, the baldest fiction, as where he describes the earliest inhabitants of Britain as having been Trojans. Equality fabulous accounts are given of the origin of the Picts, Scots and Irish. If Nennius be discredited, however, there will remain a gap of two centuries in British history. This hiatus is filed only by the chronicle of Nennius, and it is to this time that Arthur belongs. Although the volumes bearing on the Arthurian legend are legion, the subject is so much involved and extend into so many ramifications that almost every attempt that has been made to clarify the matter has left it more confused. From this, however, we must accept Doctor Sonner's masterly study. There is not now, after years of investigation, any agreement upon the location of Camelot, for instance. The "King Arthur Country" is in Cornwall, in Somersetshire or in Wales, according to the literary "camp" which one adheres. Malory said Winchester, in Hampshire, was the ancient Camelot. Caxton put it in Wales, and the learned without number assigned to Carlisle, in the north of England. The Cornish people identify it with Camelford, and their traditions of Arthur with Tintogel are, of course, wildly known. But Somersetshire has the most remarkable traditions, for is not modern Bath the ancient Badon? Was it not at Glastonbury Abbey, "which had its beginning with Joseph of Arlathea," that the greatest king of ancient Britain was entombed? Until the middle of the eighteenth century the two small pyramids between which Arthur is said to have been buried were standing, and the Tor of Glastonbury, in the "Isle of Avalon," may be seen to this day. Glastonbury Abbey is a ruin, for the good people some centuries ago tore it down piecemeal to build themselves houses and to pave the highway. Arthur's body is said to have lain burred near Joseph's Chapel at Glas- tonbury until 1191, when the abbot caused excavations to be made. At the depth of six feet the workmen came upon a flat stone, inlaid with a leaden cross, which bore upon its interior surface, next the stone, this inscription, rudely carved in Latin: "Here lies buried, in the island of Avalonia, the renowned King Arthur"; Ten feet further down another stone, bearing Arthur's name, was encountered, and under this a huge coffin of hollowed oak. The coffin was found to have two divisions, one containing the bones of a man of gigantic statue, and in the other were found the bones of Queen Guhevere. These remains are said to have been removed to the middle of the presbytery. When Edwar, visited the abbey, in 1278 the tomb was opened and the relics placed in front of the high altar for the adoration of the people. As recently as the fifteenth century the tomb was seen by Landel. The sources of Malory's "Morte d'Arthur" are quite another matter from the question of Arthur's reality. Before Malory there were in existence numerous metrical romances connected with Arthur. Many of these were in French, but it has been shown beyond dispute by Doctor Sonner that although Malory refers occasionally to "the frenshe book," in two instances at least the French book was an English one. It has been contended that the Britain mentioned in the old chronicles was really Brittany, now part of France, and that therefore the story of Arthur is a French legend. The first English prose version of the romance, that written by Malory, is merely a compilation of various legend. Each of which have little connection. Doctor Sonner has taken the twenty-two books of Malory's romance and has traced to their source all but a very small part. Some chapters in the Launcelot episodes remain to be accounted for in the sixth, twelfth and nineteenth books. The whole of book seven is obscure. It relates to the adventures of Gareth, a brother of Sir Gawayn, how he came disguised to Arthur's court, and was nicknamed Sir Kay "Beaumayns." "The whole book," says Doctor Somers, "has the character of a folk-tale, and differs greatly from the general run of Arthurian adventures. I am inclined to doubt its originally belonging to the Arthurian cycle, to which it may have been adapted by Malory or by some unknown writer before him from some now lost French poem. This conjecture is strengthened by the fact that in none of the versions which I have read and which are represented by Malory's work is any, even the simplest, reference made to Gareth's exploits on his way to the castle of Lady Lyonesse, or two this lady, her sister Lynet, her brother Grygamor by the five brothers whom Gareth overcame and sent to Arthur's court." According to Doctor Somers the genealogy of Malory's work is as follows: Beginning with Nennius "Bulogium Britanniae sive Historia Britonum" and Geoffrey "Historia Britonum," the most important links are Wace's Brut, Layman's Brut, Langloft and Robert of Gloucester's chronicles, Huchown's "Morte Arbre" and English translations and metrical romances by unknown writers belonging to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. While it is quite true that Doctor Somer's interest is centered upon tracing Malory's authority, it is more probable that he will be able to show, as a result of his studies, whether or not King Arthur is merely a figure of romance or a valiant ruler of Britain and the conqueror of the Saxons—Philadelphia Ledger. Some Popular Fallacies A doctor was pointing out medical hallacies—the wrong ideas about the human body. "One fallacy," he said, "is that beef tea is nourishing. It is nothing but water in which certain pleasant and exhilarating meat salts are dissolved. You would starve to death on beef tea, the same as on whisky or on coffee. "Another fallacy is that alcohol—whisky—warms the body. Alcohol lowers the temperature. It chills instead of warming. Hence it is of no use whatever as a guard against cold. "A third fallacy is that one egg contains as much nourishment as a pound of meat. Sick people without appetite think complacently that if they take an egg or two a day they are doing well. As a matter of fact, they are doing anything but well in the Arthur Country They must remember, if they are sub- stituting eggs for meat, that eight eggs, not one, are required to equal one meat pound. "Then there's the liver fallacy. Many, as soon as their stomachs get out of order, begin to treat their liver. But the liver is a dangerous thing to treat unless one understands it. for there are over ninety distinct liver troubles, and what is good for one of them may be bad for all the rest." Colored Y. M.

I believe that any horse can by a few trials he trained to pass an automobile quietly. I possessed a horse that was frantically afraid of an auto the first few times he met it. Like all horses unacustomed to the machines he shied from the strange thing because he thought it would hurt him. It is doubtful if any horse scares at a thing just to be mean. If a horse has any life in him he will shy from any object on the road that is strange to him. Especially is this true of colts, and one that will not do it is hardly worth breaking. In my case I led the horse up quietly to a machine that was drawn to one side of the road. He snorted pranced frantically at first, but was gradually persuaded to approach chuckling to touch his nose to the seat. The motor was started and the horse held to the vibrating machine. He soon learned that it was a harmless thing, and he row passes an auto on the road with The old custom of blessing the horses on St. Anthony's day is still kept up in some parts of Switzerland and at a place called Grimde, in Belgium. The peasants firmly hold the idea that the blessing is very necessary to keep their horses strong and well, and to preserve them from harm during the coming year. A writer in Little Folks, after witnessing the ceremony, says that as noon approached every one was on the tiptoe of expectation, and great were the preparations going on inside the church. At length, about half past twelve, a procession left the building headed by the chief priest, followed by other in gorgeous gold-embroidered costumes, bearing the Hove beneath a golden anony and a number of consecrated bamboo and a little band paused outside the chaundyard in order to allow the horses to plenty of time to fall in behind, and the long procession made its way slowly upward toward the center of a big field, where a couple of red flags waved in the breeze; here the "In journeying down one of the tribattaries of the Tanana river, in Alaska, with a party of prospectors in 1902 our raft went to pieces on a drift and every ounce of provisions, cooking utensils, bedding and pretty nearly all the clothing of the outfit, as well as a tidy sum of money, went to the bottom," said P.

Thus encouraged, he went to the hall. He found an insignificant looking Italian, who could talk English, in charge of the meeting. This man spoke briefly to the audience in his own tongue, and then introduced the congressman. His speech they encored him and cheered for McKinley at just the right time, which surprised Foster, because he had no idea they understood him well enough for that.

While driving my machine I have met all sorts of people on the road, and fully three-fourths of them have trouble in passing with their teams. The whole trouble lies in the people frightened than the animals. Men begin yelling, women screech, and the horses one woman clude that the automobile is going to hurt them. I have met farmers, who on seeing the machine approach would hurriedly blindfold their horses that they might not see the puffing monster pass. After such an experience it would be a difficult matter to drive that team by a car without serious trouble.

The group of priests formed a brilliant center, the sunshine streamed on their rich clothing, on the golden canopy, and on the colored banners, offering a striking contrast to the somber dresses of the surrounding peasants. The horses and their riders formed an immense outer circle. There was a hush of expectation, and then the short service commenced. Amid the swinging of incense the chief priest solemnly took the Host from beneath its canopy, and facing toward the horses on the east, raised it aloft and then slowly pronounced St. Anthony's benediction, while the men reverently uncovered and all bowed the head. A little bell tinkled; again the horse was raised, the priest faced the horses on the south and pronounced the blessing; the same was done as he faced the horses on the north and west.

In the Senate Wednesday, Tillman had a colloid Illinois' virile Junior senator, and was knocked out, in the Senate in 1900 stated that a thousand AF in South Carolina because they attempted to exerce the made charge that national banks contributed to the defrauded Chicago banks. To this Mr. Hopkins a hard blow when he was accused of being as fairly conducted as I know them to be in Illinois. NO COLOR LINE IN LABOR. The executive council of the Federation of Labor at its recent session said this: "We reaffirm as one of the cardinal principles of the trade union movement that the working people must, and organize, irrespective of breed, color, sex, nationality or politics. We are certainly glad to learn that the platform of the Federation of Labor is so broad. Heretofore it has drawn the color line either directly or indirectly as rigorously as to domination or by so doing has debarred the Afro-American from employment in some sections of the country subject to its control. Afro-American laborers were therefore thrown into necessary antagonism to the union and were used in many instances by the platoon, for the purpose that the executive council has taken these facts into serious consideration and has rescued the cardinal principles from the pigcon-hole of the graveyard committee. We thus have one more proof of the fact that Afro-American can no longer be there inside as an "treetree factor" in any movement of national importance. DID NOT WANT TO FIND OUT. The grand jury of Etowah county, Ga., adjourned Saturday, without indicting any of those recently implicated in the lynching of Bunk Richardson. Accordingly to the report rendered, it was shown that every means at their command was exhausted to find out what had happened to lynching, but that not a bit of evidence brought out by which the members of the mob could be apprehended. A representative of THE APPEAL once came in contact with just such a grand jury and knows that several of its members were leaders in the lynching. The affair occurred at a late hour, and the grand jury summoned every person in common sense would tell them we sang in bed long before that time of night and not bruising around town to witness a lynching or anything else. Of course the jury could then report to the judge that it had summoned a great number of witnesses and could and not nothing. It did not want to find anything and took every precaution to keep from finding out anything. Referring to the Chattanooga lynching, the Knoxville Sentinel remarks: It is the manifest sympathy offered to men of the Johnson type, the protection given them, the making of martyrs out of them, which arouses the feeling that is most daunting as races ought to unite in the pursuit and punishment of men of that type as they would mad dogs. And the intelligent Afro-American from pulpit, rostrum and press should preach a crusade against such brutes. IPPIP is likely to indulge the suggestion that both races should white in the punishment of such brutes like mad dogs, provided however that the process is to include white brutes who commit outrages upon Afro-American women. But a white brute of "the Johnson type" if he has a white skin, will commit an commit an outrage upon an Afro-American woman, and it does not diminish his chances of being sent to Congress.

Zulu of royal lineage, delivered recently at Columbus University an oration on "The Regeneration of Africa," the nation was of such merit that he was awarded the George W. Curtis gold medal, the highest oratorical honor offered by the institution. The Zulu about twenty years ago demonstrated that, as warriors, they were a by no means contemptible adversary for the best British troops Still many persons will be greatly curried up by the foregoing incident. That heathen Zulu showed a shameful disregard for the oratorical honors of a white man's university in a "white man's country." Dr. Howard L. Jones pastor of the First Baptist church of Chattanooga, Tenn., in a recent sermon, scathingly reviewed the recent lynching in that town. Dr. Lynch seems to have regarded Dr. Jones as the tempted victim of court; and accordingly decreed the minister's residence should be fired and himself, his wife and childgirl burned up. The officers of the court attempted to carry out the decree of the court, and was frustrated by the vigilance of Dr. Jones. He put on his guard by the threats contained in anonymous letters. It has not yet been decided which is the court of last resort. Judge Lynch's Court or the Supreme Court of the states; but the former seems to assume that the decision will be in his favor. Recently in Phuquenine, La. an AFro-American was lynched for stolling and killing a cow, and we are assured that great indignation was felt at the outrage and that a special grand jury action of the grand jury may be readily foreseen. It will condemn the outrage in the most emphatic terms, but will be entirely unable to find out who were engaged in the lynching. It is very clear that the grand jury will be composed of the very fellows who committed the crime. "Vengeance is mine I will repay saty the Lord." Who knows that the terrible disfigurement of Francisco is not a display of God's grace as a punishment for the horrible crimes committed at Springfield. Mo? Just the same our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the stricken people who have suffered from our common father and we deplore the awful calamity with all our hearts. At home Jeffries Davis of Arkansas is stigmatized as an arrant coward, while some of the Northern newspapers seem to regard him as a second Fitzsimons. Moreover, he is a very nice man. He will dwindle into a Tom Thumb character and be into the Senate. Jeff is a queer compound of Falstaff and Sanchez Panza. Separate Schools Illegal Springfield, Ill., April 18—In the case of the people, on relation of Scott Bibb, against the mayor and city court, in which the circuit court of Madison has a fight to set aside a separate school for Afro-American children, the supreme court today for the fifth time reversed the decision of the lower EALGE al Board of the A. M. E. Church at Wash- is Week. SHOWING THE WORLD'S PROGRESS Coal Tar Products Varied. Mauve is the name of a coal tar product which perhaps more than any other discovery in applied chemistry has been upon the science itself to its lasting impact. Half a century ago the first artificial biomineral matter obtained from a coal tar product discovered and manufactured. The subsequent development of the coal tar color industry has been a continuous series of triumphs, and the colossal scale on which organic compounds of great complexity are now manufactured—often in a state approaching chemical purity—cannot fall to strike the future historian of scientific information in one of the most marvelous achievements applied to organic chemistry of the past age. Marvel is enhanced when it is borne in mind that the whole of this industrial development which has been made possible by the intervention of pure science at every stage has taken place during the last half century. N-Bays Are Vindicated The N-rays are vindicated. M. Gutton has photographed them and M. Mascari has measured them. It had been noted that if these rays are allowed to fall on the primary spark of a Hertzian oscillator, the burst of the secondary spark diminishes. This effect has been secured photographically, the difference being clearly marked in the whole of the thirty-seven experiments. M. Mascari has detailed a series of measurements of the points of maximum density in the spectrum produced by the refraction of the N-rays through an aluminum prism by a number of independent observers. The phosphorescent screen was mounted on the carriage of a dividing engine, and each of four observers made independent measurements of the points of maximum density. If there is physiological illusion about the N-rays it probably pertains to those who doubt their existence. One of the most useful articles recently patented is a bedstead attachment, invented by a Georgia man. The complete apparatus can be easily attached to a bedstead for the purpose of holding articles of various kinds, so Within Easy Reach. that any article desired will be in easy reach of an invalid or other person occupying the bed. The articles are placed in a cabinet, which is divided into a number of compartments by partitions. At one end the cabinet is a pair of braces, made of metal, with the ends of ropes terminating into loops. Clamps are used to hold the cabinet to the bed, one end of the clamp also terminating into a loop. Connecting the loops on the cabinet and those on the clamps is a vertical rod, which serves as a hinge. The cabinet can thus be swung within convenient reach of the person upon the bed, or when going to the slide. The arms of the clamp are about the bedpost, being resilient, the entire apparatus can be readily attached to any bed. Pittsburg Air Being Washed. They are washing the air in a big office building of Pittsburg by an apparatus Installed in connection with the heating and ventilating system, whereby the air is cleansed and all dust and soot removed before it is put in circulation. The device consists of a metal frame filled with roke on which water trickles. All air entering the building is drawn through this filter by means of a fan and delivered under pressure into the various rooms. It is stated that during the last summer the 'fan was operated continuously with the windows closed, the air was thoroughly cleansed, its temperature lowered, the health of the office force improved and the daily output increased. Earthquake Shook Whole Globe. All the world felt more or less the recent Colombian earthquake. A scientist says: "In two hours the effects of the initial impulses had reached between these times every inhabitant of the world had been moved for at least three or four hours on a true ground swell. All the instruments in the world designed to record telescopic-motion had written records, the bubble in every spirit-level had been fitfully oscillating to and fro, many magnetic needles had been caused to swirl, needles had oscillated, pen needles had been tarnished—the whole globe, not only on its surface, but in its depth, had been shaken." A naturalist has just discovered in the Bugomio forest of Lake Albert. Africa, a frog's nest, made of a spitiflora like fronth and attached to the back of some leaves overhanging a small stream. He took the precaution of photographing his find before placing it in alcohol and as soon as this was done the mass collapsed, revealing, however, a wriggling mass of tadpoles about one-third of an inch in length. Foam nests of this kind, the scientists say, are the most common in Japan, as well as by some South American species. Some fishes also make foam nests, of which the paradise fish is a conspicuous example. TO CONFINE HOGS IN PASTURE Movable Fence That Will Answer All Requirements. Can you give a plan for a moveable fence to use in confining hogs while pasturing? Where lumber is available, a triangle of 4-inch boards may be made for footings, and 3 feet or $ \frac{3}{2} $ feet End Piece. fence panels placed in them. The bottom boards of panel might be 7 inches wide. It and the top boards should be 6 inches longer than the middle boards which may be placed 4 inches apart. The panels may be made 10 or 12 feet long, 2 inch notches are sawed in the center of the bottom board of the triangle and the top of it Complete Panel. to receive the panels. The triangles or foot holders of the panels may be anchored by stakes at the bottom and long poles wired on the panels along the bottom to prevent the plims moving it out of line. Wall for Water Tank. I wish to build a tank above ground to Mold water, the dimensions of the tank to be 8 feet wide and 10 feet high. Which would be the better material to use for walls, concrete or brick and cement? What thickness would be required? The thickness of wall required for water tank depends upon three things—First, the character of the material composing the wall; second, the depth of water to be contained; third, the diameter of the tank. If made of brick with good cement mortar, the wall of the tank should be at least 12 inches and should be laded on a very strong and solid footing. If made of concrete, it should be 15 inches thick. Wall of Hog House. A frame hog pen is boarded both outside and inside with inch lumber and the space between is about four inches. How could this be fixed to make it warmer? Would it be a good plan to fill the four-inch space with mortar made of sawdust and lime? I am not acquainted with the use of sawdust and lime for a well-filler. I should recommend rather a concrete filling. As the concrete would not require to support the roof, it need not contain a large proportion of cement —probably one of cement to ten of gravel would be strong enough. This placed in between the outside and inside boardings and well packed, should form a solid wall and would add considerably in keeping out the cold. I think that will be found sufficient, but if it is not, then vertical strapping of one inch straps laid on the inside boarding about 16 inches apart, and one thickness of good heavy building paper laid on the strapping, and next matched lumber, would improve the materially. I should advise the writer to try the concrete first and if that is not sufficient to add the strapping, paper and the additional sheeting. Bull-Baiting in England. In the old days of England bull-baiting was as common as football. A reminder of this exists in the will of one George Staverton, of Wokingham. He bequeathed out of his estate a sum of $20 yearly with which to buy a bull for the baiting. The bull was to be given to the poor of Wokingham to be baited in the market place Dec. 21 of each year, the remains of the animal to be sold and the proceeds devoted to the purchase of shoes and stockings for the poor children. The will was carried out until eighty years ago when the corporation forbade any more such celebrations A. Pineapple Hint. The toughness of pineapples, says a writer in the National Magazine, is almost entirely eliminated by slicing the fruit up and down from stem to blossom end, instead of through the core, as is usually done. Thrust a fork into the blossom end to hold the pineapple steady, and slice until you come to the hard pith core, which can then be discarded. The trick was taught me by an old pineapple grower and makes all the difference in the world in the tenderness of the fruit, which is usually hard and chippy when sliced with, instead of against, the grain. A late story from Russia tells at once why Gen. Trepoff resigned as governor general of Moscow and how the camera in a way may be made to lie. One evening he was in a theater where moving pictures formed part of the entertainment. In some way revolutionists had managed to tamper with the films and the instrument 'ground out pictures which led up from a meeting of conspirators to the assassination of Gen. Trepoff after the manner of M. De Flhev. The general resigned at once and the perpetrators of the trick have not been discovered.

Francis, thanks to the faithfulness of his friends, was nominated as a Republican candidate for the assembly. His vote was quite fatter than the candidates, some of whom were old politicians and well known to the voting public. But the fight has only begun; he must receive more votes on May 17 than he did at the primaries. He will have to continue to work and if the right sort of work is done his election is assured. There were many voters who did not vote at the primaries, and many who voted the Democratic ticket at the primaries. Keep up the fight until election day. Keep up the fight until victory is won. W.

BURGESS St. James A. M. E. Church Notes. Prof. J. W. Luca is still at the City Hospital. Special attention will be paid visitors to our church. Easter Sunday at St. James was one of peculiar interest in many ways; it was as sunshine after storm and the church was well filled to listen to the eloquent sermon of Rev. Horace S. Graves. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, lilies and flowers in abundance and the singing of the birds brought you closely in touch with nature. The singing of the choir was very pleasing; the invitation song by Mrs. May Black Mason, "Though Your Sin be as Scarlet," appealed strongly to her audience. "God's Calling Yet." The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds was baptised-last Sunday morning. Come out early and enjoy the song service before the sermon morning and evening. We want to give you a chance to sing. Mr. John T. Claiborn has kindly conceived to sing Sunday morning April 29th. Do you play tennis, croquet or basket ball? We have a fine place for it on the corner lot. See the pastor, Rev. Graves. Collection last Sunday was $26.25—Additional rally money, $3.65—total for the day, $34.90. Paid out Rev. Graves, $15—B. E., H. H. Thompson, $20.

METHOD OF TREATMENT. The action of these Blankets is to superinduce a process of sweating by means of a newly patented arrangement of electric wires which carry the current in a tortuous course throughout the entire surface of the blanket. The patient is first enveloped in a heavy wooled blanket and then encased from the shoulders downward in the electrical blanket and reclines upon the table, while the current suitably controlled by the prop actuation of the switches of the switchboard is applied at the feet. Thus an even current is distributed over the entire surface of the body and increased or decreased at the will of the operator, producing a mild or energetic process of sweating. The action of the current is to be observed in the skin and is perfectly comfortable while undergoing treatment. When the current is turned off, the patient is removed from the blankets, given a bath and briskly rubbed with a coarse towel, producing a vigorous circulation and the treatment is concluded by the external application of certain medicines over the affected A modern brewery in every respect is the BIG Hamm BREWERY We have every facility for making and do make the Best Beer on the market.
