The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. HER FATAL FAULT MONEY AND DIGNITY COULD NOT OFFSET GAIT. And candidate for Presidency of Woman's Club Lost a Vote—Member Criticises Her Sisters Freely. "Yes, women are queer," said the domestic woman lately become a club member, "and nowhere do they show it more than in their clubs. I ought to be ashamed to talk about my sex this way, especially to a man, but honesty and frankness are my particular virtues and since you brought up the subject I don't mind telling you what I really and truly think. Of course won't tell this, but it's my private opinion that women's clubs, and especially the one I belong to, are organized for the simple purpose of providing one day in every two weeks when women may strut around and show their feathers like a peacock. Such gowns, and THE INELIGIBLE WOMAN'S CLUB CANDIDATE. such hats you never saw, and such gabbling you never heard. And the funny part of it is there is no more culture about their gabble than there was years before they joined the club. Neither has the club atmosphere and the privilege of listening to Elbert Hubbard and Ben Greet emancipated them from that peculiar mental bias that women will always have, no matter how clubby they may get. Now, for instance, the subject of electing the new president was lately up in our club. The new president requisites for the presidency of the club's money and 'dignity.' One candidate was objected to because of her gown. She was a stout woman and she was short-sighted enough to have the gown made princess of a material with stripes running round and round. This, of course, made her lack 'dignity.' The other candidate had both money and dignity and seemed in every way desirable and I announced my intention of voting for her. "Oh, don't vote for her," exclaimed a little butterfly of a woman with lots of frills and furbels. "Why? I asked. "Oh—why—well, she hippie hops. "That's why I say women are women, whether they're club women or domestic animals." — Chicago Inter Ocean. When the water of the Canton river is low the Chinese catch the gobies which lie on the mud. They use a board four or five feet long and a foot broad, slightly turned up at the front end, where a piece of wood is provided for a hand rest. They rest one knee on the sledge and propel themselves along the mud with the other foot. GETS ALL THE SUNLIGHT. The telegraph plant of India has a method all its own for catching the sunshine. Each of its leaves is composed of three leaflets. The larger terminal one erects itself during the day and turns sharply down at night, while the other two smaller leaflets move constantly, day night, describing complete circles like the second motion made like the second hand of a watch casually they rest for a period and then go on again, thus bringing every part of every leaf to the full action of the sunlight—Telegraph Ago. Engage in Large Financial Deals That They May Support Husbands in Idleness. The Burmese woman's highest ambition is to maintain her husband in lordly idleness and to supply him with abundant funds for cock fighting, bullook cart racing and gambling. Many of the Burmese women do big deals in timber, buying up in advance the paddy crops of a whole district, and so on, on a scale that requires big financial. Prof. Kromeyer, of Germany, who turns bald heads into Parderkwips and Kropotkins for a consideration, hopes to have the honor of treating President Roosevelt's son-in-law on his forthcoming tour of the courts of Europe. "Prince Nicholas," he says—the professor will not believe his name is Longworth—"Prince Nicholas can have hair like Absam for the asking—he would be an excellent advertiser for my method, don't you think so? Though the professor's claims look fishy, he is not an ordinary fakir by any means. He was a professor of dermatology at the University of Halle before he came to Berlin, and is a well-known specialist of the Finsen light method, on which he has improved in several ways. The Berlin faculty recognizes 33 cures of bald heads effected by him by legitimate methods, and of the baldhead class under his care so far only 25 per cent. went away like billiard balls after he got through with them. His ultra violet light rays operate directly through the opening of the cooled protective shield upon bald spots, and are subject to the rays at any minute to a quarter of an hour at a time. The reaction is: Reddening of the skin and formation of painful blisters. At the same time the hair roots, seemingly dead, begin to regenerate. After the second light bath one can see them sprout. The professor introduced a girl of 19 who had lost every bit of hair during a long sickness. The professor gave her head 42 light baths within six months. To-day Gretchen could make a living as one of the Seven Sutherland Sisters. A man "of Prince Nicholas' age" was cured after 27 violet baths, another, somewhat older, after 21. "All depends on the condition the hair roots are in," says the professor. AGAIN! English Society Purposes to Search for Baggage and Jewels of King John. Excitement has been aroused in Lincolnshire, England, by the projected attempt to recover the royal jewels and treasure lost by King John in the Wash when he fled across the marches in 1216. Mr. St. John Hope, assistant secretary of the Society of Antiquarians, asks support for the scheme. He has made a study of the tides ever since the date when King John lost his baggage, and calculates that heavily laden wagons will be found at Sutton Bridge, where there are 28 feet of silt. The Wash having changed its location since 1216. Apart from its great activity, the lost treasure would be greatly prized by antiquaries and numismatists.

LANDMARK OF OLD LONDON Crypt Associated with Writings of Charles Dickens to Be Bented. Readers of "Little Dorrit" will be interested perhaps to learn that the crypt of St. George's church, Southwark, England, is to be let. Apart from its association with the heroine of Dickens' book, the church, which was first established in the twelfth century, has an interest in its records for 1610 is the entry: "Michael Banks, out of King's Bench Prison. Executed. Did revive again. Was in the vestry three hours and was then carried back and executed again." THE APPEAL. HE WAS A MASTER HE WAS A MASTER THAT IS, IN HIS OWN PARTICULAR LINE. Freeman Grigga, A. M., Proved Right to Title He Had Conceded Upon Himself—Had Henshaw at Disadvantage. Henshaw is one of those men who, if not exactly dishonest, certainly just wins the reputation of being "slow pay." He hates to pay a bill—especially a small bill; it's like pulling teeth to extract money from his purse, and he therefore has a well-defined suspicion that every unknown visitor to his office is a dun. He has hedged himself about with more guards and has made himself more difficult of approach than J.-Pierpoet, to see if the way is clear before he ventures out of his office to go home, and when close press has a private egress "I AM FREEMAN GRIGGS, A. M.—AFTER MONEY." into a back hall and so escapes by the rear stairway and the freight door of the building. The other day the boy brought in a card which he read with suspicion. "Freeman Griggs, A. M.," he repeated. "Do I know the man, boy?" "I don't think so," replied the buffer. "I never remember of seeing him before." "Hem! 'Freeman Griggs, A. M.'" "repeated Henshaw. "Master of Arts." College man. Look like a professor, boy? "Well, he's got eyeglasses on," admitted the doubtful youngster. Now, if Henshaw has a weakness at all, it is for education, culture and the long-haired cult. He has written and published a pamphlet himself on something that nobody else is interested in, and therefore feels himself equal to fraternizing with men whose names carry any weight of abbreviations after them. "Send him in," said Henshaw. In busted a wideawake, looking young man. He had removed his eyeglasses before he got to the door, and he bore down on Henshaw, drawing a billcase from his pocket as though prepared to "hold him up" at the point of it. "I'm collector for Campbell & Gore. Here's a little bill against you. My clients want their money," he said, slapping the document down upon Henshaw's desk. Henshaw isristed and stared from the door of his visitor. "Who let you in here?" he demanded. "Why, the boy, just sent in my card, you know. You've got it in your hand, there." "Huh! This your card?" grunted the disgusted Henshaw. "Freeman Griggs, A.M.?" "That's me. Freeman Griggs." "I'd like to know where you took your degree, young man," said Henshaw, with scorn. "Degree? Oh, you mean those letters? Rather a bright idea, don't you think? My own. I'm Freeman Griggs, A.M.-after money. And I'm after money now, do I get it?" Musical Instrument That Was Invented During the Reign of Alfred the Great. This picture shows one of the first organs ever made.

W. Rollins, of Wytplifftock discovered a moving object a short distance from the road, and leaving his team he hastened to ascertain what it was when, to his surprise, he found it to be a large owl in combat with a good sized mink says a Lewiston (Me.) dispatch. After a struggle of several moments the owl attempted to rise with its prey, but was able to ascend only a few feet when the mink fell to the ground, where it was soon killed by several well-directed blows from Roller white. Defective Page Russian Tribes Take Permanial Advantage of Recent Ecstasy Issued by the Czar. Four villages of Usedom circuit in Russia have informed the government that in accordance with the czar's edict, guaranteeing freedom of worship, they returned to their old religion, the worship of the idols. These people call themselves Tschermisses and belong to an ancient Finnish tribe, whose chief idol is a curious rock "caesare to mea" of Chumbali road, and the travelers in the postchase can witness the worship paid to this ancient god by slaughtering chickens and small game at the foot of the holy rock, allowing the earth to drink the blood. Chumbalat the heathens esteem the chief of their many gods; he is said to be able to send one suffering, sickness and even death. The name means "Old Man on the Mountain." The god is supposed to reside under the great rock. "If the tribe should ever be in danger, Chumbalat will rise from beneath the rock and defend," says the people. He wears golden armor and rides a mighty warhorse. Nicholas is distressed that his edict should have resulted in the revival of heathenism, but cannot forbid idols try under the terms of the published ukase. TIMEPIECE IS VERY*OLD.

Nature Has So Equipped the Caribou That Swimming Is No Task for Him. Clad with a coat of oily wool next his skin, the caribou is covered exteriorly with a dense pelage of fine quills. Every caribou, indeed, wears a cork jacket, and when this is prime the creature seems on the water rather than in the water. No other quadruped that I know swims as high as the caribou. Their speed afloat is so great that it takes the best of canoemen to overtake a viewpoint, a good paddler is supposed to cover about five miles an hour, so the caribou probably goes live. There are many kinds of woodland and rough country over which the caribou cannot travel'so fast as this. What wonder, then, that they are so ready to take to the water as soon as they find it in their course. Mr. Munn assured me that several times he saw caribou swim a broad bay that was in their line, though a trifling deflection would have given them easy walking along the shore to the same point, and with little increase of distance. CUT ON POLISHED SHELL. Prehistoric artists have left us works of art engraved on polished shell. The most ancient are the masks upon which the human face is depicted. Arkansas Hunter Has Evolved Scheme Which Brings the Best of Results. J. F. Berger, of Anthony, who is an enthusiastic duck shooter, has secured two pairs of domesticated mallard ducks for decoys. The ducks are taken to the hunting grounds in small covered baskets. To go there from flying when in use a light leather jacket, a noose attached to a long shore is placed on their necks and a weight or anchor tied to one foot. This, however, does not diminish their ability to swim, and when placed in the water they go to the limit of the their shore cord. For results they make the old-fashioned wooden decoys look like 20 cents. Arkansas City SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1906. OF AID TO HOSTESS JUGGESTIONS FOR NOVEL AND PLEASING ENTERTAINMENTS. The Cotton Wedding—Literary Menu of Toothsome and Inexpensive Dishes—A "Junior" Reception to the Seniors. The Cotton Wedding. A reader of the department asks for suggestions for celebrating the first wedding anniversary, which is the "cotton" wedding. The invitations may be written with indelible ink on squares of cotton cloth folded to resemble note paper. A small tree for the table centerpiece may be decorated with bits of cotton, and for place cards, make balls of cotton each inclosing some trifling souvenir. If cards are played, "heartis" should be the game. The prize can be delivered to the winner done up to represent a bale of cotton with holes in the burlap showing the fuzzy substance inside. The menu can be kept in white by serving first minced chenophytes, a salad made from white grapes, cerys, apples and blanched almonds in white paper cases, first putting in a blanched lettuce leaf. A delicious frozen dainty is whipped cream with chopped nuts and cherries stirred in before serving. Have small cakes frosted all around to resemble balls of cotton. Here's a menu which was served to a club of literary people upon which the hostess did not expend five dollars. Much merriment was afforded by guessing what each course was before it appears on the table: "Lays or Ancient Rome"... Macauiulay (Stuffed Eggs.) "The Red Skins" .....Cooper (Lobster a la.Newberg.) s u n d u e r s ( Lettuce ). F. Saunders ( Lettuce ). Dr. Wright. (Orange Ice Served in the Skins.) "Coffee and Repartee"...Bangs. (Coffee). A "Junior" asks for some hints upon giving a reception to the seniors, the colors being pink and white and green and white; also how to arrange a punch bowl; the affair to be given at a home fortunate enough to have large porches. The porches could be made most charming adjuncts to the rooms by screening them from the gaze of the public with draperies of cheesecloth in the class colors. Then if a punch bowl of china or glass is lacking, a good substitute can be made by taking the largest sized bread pan, covering it with dark green crepe paper. Inside this place a smaller pan, and around the rim put flowers and vines. Place on a table with ferns and palms for a background; a corner is the best position. This could be on the porch, with the musicians, if there is to be music for dancing, Japanese lanters, parrots and cannushake to attract and inexpensive decorations. Inside of ice cream, try an ice of orange or pineapple flavor. It will be found much more refreshing. Have a variety of small cakes and dainty wafer; they are considered much better form than layer cake. KEEP ATTRACTIVENESS. Do Not Drift Into a Mere Domestic Drudge, Careless of Looks and Becoming Clothes. A woman should not only regard it as a privilege, but as a duty which she owes to herself and her associates, to make as pleasing a picture of herself as possible. In order to appear well, a woman must give some thought and study to the becomingness and suitability to her years and to the wear for which it is intended, of the garment she prepares. Women, young, young, not apt to slight this duty, but as they grow older the majority of them drift into indifference, until, almost unconsolently, they acquire not only careless, but too often slovenly habits of person and apparel. Often, under a misguided idea of economy and lack of time, a woman settles down to wearing ill-fitting shawl wraps, rusty hats and frazed sleeves, she discards neckwear as altogether unnecessary to her toilet; especially a woman get this habit, who stay, at home, thinking it their duty to wear the chain of domestic drudgery so the husband and children may have the clothes and the spending money with which to enjoy themselves. Anything will do for her, she thinks, and they get to thinking so, too. Too often such a woman drifts into habits of untidiness which are positively disreputable, and of which she seems utterly unconscious, though they render her absolutely offensive to the eyes of her more wide-a-wake friends. This is a weaker mistake, as it robs her of her one attraction at a time when her youth is gradually fading away, and she looks old and spiritless when she should be in her prime. Her fathers take her at her own valuation, and take them may not be positively ashamed, they certainly are not proud of her. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afri-Americans. 5-It is not conquered by the unique. 6-It asks no support but the peoples. FASHION'S TENDENCIES. What Are the Favored Collarls and Those Becoming When the Summer's Tan Is On. For that matter the season promises to be so soft and refined coloring. The promotions black and white and gray insures that the dog most used by the famous makers are for the most part one of delicate and cool tints. Certain rather vivid browns have come to the front and will be worn throughout the summer, although the color is essentially a warm one, not too bright. The dogs, as faces are likely to be during dog days. The nut browns and more nuts. ONE OF THE SOFT PLAIDS. ticularly the wood browns, which are comparatively light and cool, have enjoyed a tremendous vogue in Paris, but for some reason or other these shades have not been taken up here, and now, for the first time, they are receiving serious attention from the patrons of the high class importers and dressmakers. Several blues recalling the lighter blue shades, but known as hyacinth and blue miltiature, the latter blue not suggesting things military to American eyes, but familiar to the French in the odd blue of the chasseurs d'Arfrique, are favorite relieving color notes, as are the coral and rose pink, various yellows of the apricot and orange tones and numerous soft greens. Yellow and rose in combination, a genuine pompadour color scheme, are repeated often in both frocks and millinery. FOR A HEALTHY SKIN. Warm Water Needed to Remove Skin's - Excretions, Cold a Tonic - About - Sleeping Clothes. The body breathes through every pore; it exhales, throws off fatty acids and waste materials in the perspiration; and this process of elimination is going on constantly in the healthy body, though we are only conscious of it when the sweat glands have been so stimulated by exercise that they throw off the heat and moisture faster than evaporation can carry it off. Now it is just as important to keep the skin in a healthy state, to excite its glands to better activity by gentle friction, to keep every pore open and free from clogging dirt and dust as it is to keep the lungs unharmed. Yes, fresh air and sunshine are as necessary to the skin as to the lungs. Cold water is an excellent tonic. It will stimulate by its tonic effect the surface circulation. It will make you brighter, stronger and fresher perkiness. It will not thoroughly cleanse the skin. The pores of the skin close at the first touch of cold, and this shuts in the very excretions you desire to remove. Hence, I beg of you to remember that the cold sponge should always be preceded by the warm bath, if you desire to free the skin from all excretions. Another important point that, too, many of us pay very little attention to is a complete change of clothing at night, if we would sleep well and gain the greatest benefit from our rest. No piece of clothing that we have worn all day is fit to sleep in, from a hygienic standpoint. Clothing worm by day should be well aired by night and night clothing should be aired by day. Clothing that all day long has absorbed the excretions thrown off by the body through the skin as is unfit for the body to sleep in as a close, impure room is for the lungs. Substitute for Shampoo. Orris root powder dusted over the hair is a good substitute for frequent shampooing. Sprinkle the powder into the hair and rub it well into the scalp, then brush it out. Orris is one of the few powders which may be used for this purpose as it will not stop the pores. It is clustering and will give a faint, sweet odor to the hair. New Burnt-Straws. Burnt straw of a deeper shade than that usually designated by the term is in demand for spring hats. Many of these are trimmed with large choux of ribbon, or with wreaths of dull colored flowers. Sold by Score. Eggs are in Denmark by the score more commonly than by the dozen. LITTLE BIRD PETS ENGLISH NATURALIST TELLS OF ANTICS OF GREAT TITS. Enticed by Nuts and Cheese They Become Regular Visitors, and at Last Consent to Have Pictures Taken. One of my earliest experiences of great tits was in this wise. It was a sparkling spring morning, and I was coaming about an old-fashioned hillide garden, peering into holes and crevices in search of nests. Up this long ago, rustic steps had been built, leading to a tree's huge bole, and invited to climbing which the tree and invited by dividing from the ground into three strong outspread upward-curving branches. Here the household had been wont to gather 40 years ago, before recently planted trees had joined hands over newly made paths to give shelter from the summer sun. Long disused, the crumbling steps gave but doubtful foothold, as I carefully mounted to explore the mouldering platform and above. As my head came level with the tree, I noticed a cleft in the tree just below the root. A likely place for a nest, I thought, and large enough for me to insert my hand. The action quickly followed the thought; but my hand was more quickly withdrawn, for my fingers were sharply struck within the hole by I knew not what, and there was a hissing as though I had roused an angry snake. Peering in, I could just discern two gleaming and two small patches of white hair on my back, and was another hiss and a quick stroke of a wing. I found a great tit sitting upon her eggs. Respecting her bravely, I did not disturb her more. Though there were several pairs of these birds in the garden, it was long before they learned to visit my window larder. They would watch the cole tits carrying off bits of nut and cheese, far in excess of their present needs, and them up and down the close-cut yew hedge, and riffled these hidden stores of their cousins. The great tits much appreciated the cheese, and this finally brought them to the window-perch above the hedge, where they could be big lumps temptingly displayed, and where robins, chaffinches, blue tits, and cole tits were regularly regaining themselves. I remember well the first visit of an oxeye to my window, on the perch with a thud that thuded into the glove gave way, and as the branch sank beneath him he flew off in alarm. I immediately secured the perch firmly, and replenish the supply of cheese and nuts. In a few minutes the same bird returned, alighted, looked round suspiciously, and after a flute-like double call to his mate in a neighboring tree, invited to feast, he plunged his beak into the nest later, when the bird tamer and not so easily alarmed, I took a photograph, hiding behind a screen inside the room near the open larder window, and peering out of small eye THE OXEYE AND HANGING BLUE TITS. holes at the comings and goings of the birds. The oxeye has a bad character given him by writers on birds, owing to his pugnaciousness and formidable fighting powers, but I have never seen him do much harm to another bird at the window. He will fight and peck fiercely at any bird that will not give him place at the cheese corner, and when there he presents other birds venturing to share the room, he will form a cock bird even tries to attack it on ing on and pecking from below. The hen great tits, though they show fight even against human intruder at the nest, are peaceful crouch at the window. I have seen one frightened away by a hedge-sparrow, the quietest and most peace-loving of window frequenters. The great tit was standing upon a big lump of cheese, and the hedge-sparrow, standing on the perch on one side, in trying for a morsel of cheese, pecked one of the great tit's front tones that were spread out and beat down over the edge of an accident, but a very likely might have proved for Shufflowing had the bird on the cheese been Mr. Oxeye instead of his spouse. As it was, the hen great tit, alarmed, flow off without showing any sign of wishing to retaliate. , si a aS AD ici een a Sata wea em ne FAM a |) 9 oe Sida: a S s Auer "7 Tue Apeere sh eA = A, poe CS Bias Zar i eater \.. \y A ane.

Clansma A BOV'S ADVENTURE nel A eee oa ae poe Cee eee a ees = and Hand ‘There are numerous records of thrilling experiences and brave deeds in connection with coal mines, but this aceltlent, which happened to a boy, 15 somewhat unique, ‘Che hero of the incident ts a pit boy in the Garth colliery, situated at Mue- steg, In South Wales, His duty is to mind the trams on top of the pit and see that they run Droperly on to the cage, in which men and materials are lowered into the mine, ‘On the day when the accident oc- curred, the boy was at his post as usual." A cask of water, with 4 hose attached, had been sent ‘up in a tram Jand placed on the cage, to be lowered for the use of the mine horses. A portion of the hose was hanging over the'side of the cage, and the lad, notleing this considered that he would have ample time’to put ft right before the cage started on {ts downward Journey. He stepped partly on to the eage. and stood with his right foot inside {t, and his left on the staging at the pit head Suddenly the cage began to move, ‘The voy gripped a projecting por- tion of the cage and clung to It, his left leg Yajling between the cage and the side of the shaft. All might have gone well, but at @ certain portion of the shaft the cage passes very close to some staging, Against this the unhappy boy In pass- ing broke hie les, ‘Though In the greatest agony, the boy hungon, It was his only chance, At this point, one of his companions saw what had happened, He signalled ee aa an ia Leas ie, a, Hl oe. ge ae bea ea ep : eas vee on eee BF: : Lge aS : ee ag ae Rites ie Sy mag oe ely re N Y A ys : as Bess es SN ‘ mu Pe a ee . 4 Rea eee aera ve fia 3 wane he a a ot . os Re a ce 3 pe ‘ Mi ‘ one an eae. ‘h ae Pe m So Sy lia Wea ck te Ne WAR ee BROKE HIS LEG. to the engine-man to stop the cage, and it was brought to a standstill 120 yards from the starting point, with some suddenness. ‘The jerk caused the boy's left hand, by which he was clinging, to become gammed in the ropes by which the cage is worked, He dared not Jet go, although Jn in. tense pain His broken leg prevented him from climbing into the cage. How wax he to be rescued? It was Impossible to bring the cage to the surface again, since the boy's Jeg would catch in the staging whict had already broken it, and ho migh be dashed to the foot of the shat. ‘The difficulty was solved by a cool headed pitman, He climbed down the guide rope: and pulled the suffering lad into th cage. Both were then brought to the sur face, when the lad's injuries were at tended to. He sald that he was not frightened although he hung over a shaft 30 yards deep. He knew exactly what was happen.

Gigantic Enterprise Which Would Make Gibraltar of Little Value to England—To Take Eight ‘Years to Build. France Is getting ready to lift up her shipping to the first rank, double the force of her navy, and catise the Med- iterranean to cease to be an “English lake” by nuulifying Gibraltar. And this she ‘expects to accomplish by building a vast ship canal across the lower end of France from the At- lantle to the Mediterranean. By its means, the French fleet will be capable of operating, one day on the Atlantic, and then two days later show itself in Mediterranean ports, without subject- ing itself to the guns of Gibraltar. One of the queerest things about It is that the canal existe already for canal boats and small coasters. To en- large It for warships and merehantmen fs no mere dream. Since 1878 ‘the canal of the two seas” has been fully planned by engineers. Three parlia- mentary commissions have made es- timates upon it, and now M. Gauthier, SR eS CANAL ACQUEDUCT OVER GARORRE: RIVER, (tow Locomotives Will Draw Warships ‘Through the Canal.) minister of public works, lias sent his own commission to make Anal stugies of the scheme, and its conclusions are to be submitted to the lowér house for action, The modern engineers’ have: a Ti: tanfe task before them to enlarge the BordeauxNarbonne system to a deep sea ship canal—e ship canal that must climb and descend a mountain water shed! Elght years will be required. ‘The cost {s estimated at a minimum of $160,000,000, although an early com- mission set it at $200,000,000 and still another at $350,000,000, ‘The latter cal- culation has been proved erroneous. ‘The present estimates foresee 300, 000 workmen, guided by 30 chiet en- gineers and 200 overseers, with dig- ging and tunneling machines driven by 60,000 horsepower. The route is straight from Arcachon to Agen on the Garonne, 86 miles of easy cutting, without a single lock. ‘The, waters of the Garonne are to be reenforced from many x torrent of the Pyrenees—which will save Tou- louse and other towns from the perl- odie inundations that now trouble them, Between Agen and Toulouse the Garonne, strongly banked and _be- come at last the sate dréin of there ‘mountain torrents, will take the fleets of war and commerce to Toulouse—be- come the central maritime arsenal of Fiance. From Toulouse to CasteInaudry, the route fs along the old hed of the canal of Languedoc, of Clara Ward's ances tor-by-marriage. The old canal abounds in locks. To mount to the lock of the ocean, where begins the ip. ber race, it ascends a gradient of 200 feet by means of 17 locks in a distance of 32 miles. ‘The upper race Is 3% miles long and terminates at the lock of the Mediterranean; To descend tc the Mediterranean the work of Riquet extends over 114 miles, descending 4 gradient of nearly 600 feet by means of 48 locks. French commerce waits upon th canal for its restoration. While. the French coasting trade is reduced te 3,000,000 tons a year. that of Grea Britain le over 120,000,000 tons. Th French deep-sea carrying is less thar that of Ital or Norway. German boat touch at Cherbourg to take Americar freight: and English Hnes to the or! ent calmly make Marseilles their west ern stopping place. Over 80 per cent of French exports are carried in for ‘eign bottoms, making a gift of $60, 000,000 annually to the English, Ger mans and Italians, ‘When this canal is bufft, Englan¢ herself will either’ have to pay. tol to the French or lose a Tot of her owt trade, and s0 on for the other commer cial peoples to-day passing their stuf through the straits of Gibraltar. Fron Malta to Ushant, for example, ther ‘will be an economy of more than 80. miles by the canal; from Genoa t Ushant, an economy of 1,150 miles Bordeaux and Nantes, on the Atlantic will become almost Mediterranea: ports. From Bordeaux to Malta bi Gibraltar is now 2,208 miles. By th canal it will be only 1,000 mites, ‘No Trust. “Trusts are in everything these days.” “Yes, but mot these nights.” “Explain,” “There {8 no trust in the look my: wife gives me when I tell her T have deen sitting up with a sick friend."— Houston Post. : Gentle Warning.

One of the most notable feats in medical surgery in St. Paul for some time was performed by Dr. Valdo Turpin, a surgeon who visited the week. Mr. Rutherford was suffering from a serious case of urinary poisoning, having reached the conclusive stage. Two of the noted physicians of the city had been called in and after consultation decided that there was no need for surgery, and that nothing could be done for him even in the way of temporary relief, and they left without prescribing and with the statement that he could not live until morning as he was lying. Dr. Turpin was then called and he performed an operation and through his efforts, the patient was enabled to take nourishment the next day and he has so much improved that he left this week for his home in Macon, Mo.

He worshiped God and his mother and tried to hide from her the extent of his suffering, never making a complaint during all of his long and tortured illness. He never spoke all of any one but was always ready to defend and justify others. His funeral was held at the residence of his parents. No. 569 Igleah manor, was provided for a clock, and was conducted by Rev. A. H. Lealtad, the pastor of St. Paul's Mission, who preached one of the most beautiful funeral sermons which has been heard in a very long time. He was presented with the friends of the deceased. The funeral was conducted by Lyles & Elliott, our new undertakers, and carried out most satisfactorily to all concerned. The casket was white cloth with silver trimming and the sashes which had been sent, there being over one hundred. During the services Miss Hattie Loomis sang "Face to Face," and Mr. Allen French, Jr., sang, "Flee as a bird." The holloway pall bearers were for young ladies, lades; Misses Gertrude James, Hattie Loomis, Fannie Howard of St. Paul, and Ollie Ward of Minneapolis. The active pall bearers were: Measrs. Robbie Howard, James Howard, Clarence Barnes, Bliss Archer, Willel French, James Goocit. The hearse was black with white curtains, drawn by white horses covered with black fringed net. Interment at Oakland. Card of Thanks. We desire to offer our grateful thanks to the many friends who gave evidence of their sympathy in various ways during the illness and at the door of our son and brother, Edgar Wells De Baptiste, and hope that each will be kindly remembered when the inevitable hand of Death strikes any of you. Sincerely, Edgar De Baptiste, Ella De Baptiste, Maurice De Baptiste. ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. We are in business for God. The church was further strengthened by the addition of Mrs. Ed. Myers, and Mr. W. A. Jenkins. Rev. Graves' sermons and intense earnestness are having their effect. Mrs. Mary Black Mason's singing had a telling effect and many were moved to tears. The Odd Fellows and Ruths were here every Sunday and served last Sunday and showed their appreciation of Rev. Graves by giving him a purse of $18.00. Mrs. Amella Turner became seriously ill just following the sermon and but for the attention of Dr. Turner might have died. Mrs. Adela Bellesen as usual was an invaluable aid; she is a wonder around the sick. Long live the Odd Fellows and "Ruths." The One More Effort Club met at the home of the bride, Mrs. Chas. Lazenberry last Tuesday evening and spent some pleasant times. The bride looked very much at home in her bedroom. The Church mourns Mrs. Horace S. Graves at the Parsonage. Let us fill the home. The collection last Sunday was $24,977 the additional rally money reported was 80 cents, making a total amount of $42. especially for the young folks. Come and hear them. Mr. Wm. Moore, husband of Mrs. Hattie Moore is quite ill at St. Joseph Hospital. Sunday School will remain at the hur of 12:45. Please take notice of this.

When half the numbers on the program had been danced and during the session Mrs. Rogers voted for the Queen of May.

The woman who desires long life must have eyes round and wide rather than long and narrow. If they are brown or hazel, life will be longer than if they were black or violet. The brow must be ample and slope back slightly from an absolute perpendicular. The head must be wide behind and over the ears. The brow must be wide and full and well set, and the chin square and firm. If the orifice of the ear is low, indicating a deeply seated brain, there is a better chance of long life. The woman who appears taller in proportion when sitting down than when standing has a good chance to live long. If the body is long in proportion to the limbs the heart, lungs and digestive organs are large. Prices Quoted at $280 a Vertical Foot, Instead of $240 Two Years Ago. "A five-foot elephant costs this spring," said an importer of animals, "$1,400, as against $1,200, for which such elephants could be bought two years ago. "Elephants like all other wild animals, are growing scarcer with the settlement of the globe, and their prices tend upward. More small elephants than big ones are imported because they cost less to begin with and because they are easier and safer to transport and showmen like them, too, because young elephants are more tractable and easier to train. A small elephant is attractive, anyway. "Then, the elephant is a hardy animal in captivity and it is naturally long lived, and the young elephant increases in value with its growth; and so, even with their prices tending upward, young elephants are good property." Spencer Eddy—diplomat, hero of Richard Harding Davis' "Princess Aline" and fiance of Miss Spreckels—was praising in Philadelphia a boy he knew. "Last Easter," said Mr. Eddy, "they put him in trousers, his first suit of trousers, and he was immeasurably pleased. "He walked up to a young and beautiful lady who was staying at the house. "Don't I look good?" he said. "Don't I look good?" he said. "\No, hine." the young lady. "Lovely. Do you like knickers better than frocks? "Lots better," he replied. "Why don't you take to 'em?" Young Captain Seabury, of the White Star liner Cretic, was talking about the colored signal lights of ships. "In the past," he said, "all lights were white. The colored light is a comparatively recent invention. "I once knew a young Scottish sailor to whom the new colored lights were an unknown thing. As he stood at the wheel of his sloop one night, a big steamer hove in sight, and the boy saw the great red and green lights for the first time. "He rammed down the helm with a lond yell. "Preserve us," he shouted; 'we're goin' right into the 'potcary shop at Peebles.' Senator Dolliver was condemning an opponent's argument. "In such an argument," he said, "the logic is absurdly false. It is like the logic of a young woman of Fort Dodge. This young woman sat lying on the needle one spring morning on the piazza of her pretty little house. A coat of her husband's was in her tap. The husband himself appeared, and she said freetfully: "It is too bad, the careless way the tailor put this button on. This is the fifth time I have to sew it on for you." Burgess Pennypacker, of West Chester, Pa., unlike Governor Pennypacker is an admirer of newspapers. Speaking before the Young Men's Christian Association of Wilmington the other day, he paid Philadelphia papers this high compliment: "The men who stand at the outpost of the twentieth century are the newspaper men, and I glory in them. It was the newspapers of Philadelphia that cleaned the state of Pennsylvania. They know what the people want. The cause that won't bear sunlight has no right on earth." Mohammedans of the Caucasus have a religious ceremony called "Chucksee Wucksee." It is a ceremony in which the fanatics cut and wound themselves in the following ghastly fashion, according to a traveler: "Each man, grasping a knifel in his hand, brought it up in front and down on the crown of his head. Almost at every stroke the blood gushed forth and soon one man after another became a staggering, blood-soaked figure. "I don't see the sense in speaking of a man as 'blind drink.'" "Why not? It simply means he's so very drunk that he can't see." "But no man is ever so drunk that he can't see. If he's very very drunk he can see snakes." A mule by any other name would kick* just as hard as "Maud" does. The same fabric with any other name would wear just as long as Saxony-Cheviot. But you know and we know that when you buy Saxony-Cheviot that it will wear until the proverbial cows come home—that it will never sine—that it will retain its "press" sweat and folded fabric just about the most dressy fabric that could be put into a $30 suit. That's the price we ask for a made-for-you suit of it. Lideen & Co. Tallors, 104 E. 7th St. SIGNS OF LONG LIFE. ELEPHANTS GOING UP. She Blushed. Seeing the Light. Feminine Reasoning.

And then she—and pretty frequently he—reaches under the chair and conscientiously knocks three times on the frame of it. Undoubtedly most persons do it simply for the airy persiflage of it. But there are plenty of others to whom it represents a pretty vital precaution against being overtaken by an ill from which they have declared themselves free so far. The custom is said to have had a religious origin. The three knocks signified an appeal to each of the three persons of the Trinity, and the substance rapped upon was wood, because Christ was cricified upon a cross of wood. FIFTY KINDS OF HEADACHE. Dypepsia, Bad Liver, Strain and Overwork Chief Cauzes. “There are more than fifty kinds of headaches,” said a physician, “and sufferers from the more common forms may cure themselves by locating cause and treating themselves accordingly. The more frequent forms are a dull pain across the forehead, due to dypepsia; and pain in the back of the head due to the liver; a bursting pain in both temples, due to malnutrition; an ache on the top of the head, as though a weight pressed on the skull, due to overwork; an ache between the brows, just above the base of the nose, due to eye strain.” The Natural Way. A philanthropic person heard of a negro family that was reported in desisture circumstances and, calling at their home, he found the report true. The family consisted of a mother, a son nearing manhood's estate, and two young children. The benevolent old gentleman, after hearing the mother's story, gave her oldest son $1 to get a chicken for the Thun, giving dinner, and took his departure. No sooner was he gone than the negress said to her son: "Sambo, you done gib me dat dollah and go get dat chicken in de natchar way."—Philadelphia Ledger. Queen is Fond of Dickens The new Queen of Norway is said to be a great admirer of Dickens and to have read the "Christmas Carol" so much that she can recite it from beginning to end. Not long ago she said: "No one can be really bad who can cry over Tiny Tim." Every Christmas she sends parcels of presents to the crippled children in the homes and hospitals of London and to each present is attached a card bearing the message: "With Tiny Tim's Love." Shakspere was putting the finishing touches to "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Dropping his pen, he sighed: "If this were only two or three centuries later!" "And why, William?" asked Francis Bacon. "We could write in a part for a wooden Indian and a bale of hay and put this on as a musical extravaganza and retire on our fortunes within three months." Mystery Upon Mystery. Yep.

Electro-Therapeutic Blanket A POSITIVE CURE FOR Rheumatism, LaCrippe, Paralysis, Cout, Pneumonia, Apendicitis, Neuralgia and all Chronic Spinal and Stomach Troubles. METHOD OF TREATMENT. The action of these Blankets is to superinduce a process of sweating by means of a newly patient arrangement of electrolyte wires, which carry the current in a tortuous course throughout the entire surface of the blanket. The patient is first enveloped in a heavy woven blanket and then encased from the shoulders downward in the electrical blanket and reclines upon the table, while the suitable applied by the Trops actuation of the switchboard is applied at the feet. The Trops 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 largely process of sweating. The action of the input or first blanket is absorbed this sweet and pains the patient 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 course towel, producing a vigorous circumference of the wound. It is concluded by the external application of certain medicines over the affected portions of the body. PROF. J. R.
