3- Its correspondents are able and energetic.
BELGIUM IS ONLY COUNTRY WHERE WOMEN DO BULK
WOMAN CULTIVATING THE LAND IN COUNTRY NEAR BRUSSELS.
BELGIUM IS ONLY WHERE WOMEN OF THE
Societies for the advancement of womanhood could find abundant work in Belgium.
To-day the land of King Leopold is perhaps further behind the times in its treatment of the gentler sex than any other country in Europe.
Here woman still does the manual labor of the land as she once did it all over the world. The voice of progress, whose modern note is spelling emancipation everywhere else, has not yet sounded for the woman of the little strip of land 173 miles by 112 that rejoices in the name of kingdom.
The Belgium woman is the nation's farmer, miner, laborer and mechanic. She toils from dawn till sunset at the heaviest kind of work, and none pites or makes an appeal for her.
The little country of whose existence she is the corner stone, is one of the most densely populated in the world, and every square mile of territory must support 485 persons. That it is able to do so is only because of the industry, the slavish willingness of the women of the country to do the kind of work from which other nations have freed her.
The soil of Belgium is well adapted to agriculture. The once impassable morasses of the Morini and the Menapil have been drained and converted into fertile fields, surrounded by dense plantations. A system of canals helps the Scheldt and the Maas in their work of irrigating the land, and the variations of climate from very hot summers to extremely cold winters give advantages for the production of varied farm stuff that are denied to the neighboring country of Holland.
But the seed sown by nature would never be repeated if the work of doing it were left to man.
The population of the country, some 7,000,000, is divided into the proportion of three rural dwellers to one who lives in the city, and probably the same proportion, three to one, would show the number of women and children as against men who toil in the fields.
Centuries of habit have made man regard the Belgian woman as a natural wage earner. If he is industrious he works in the factory, while she goes out and raises the farm produce that is eaten.
Young women and old think nothing of working a twelve-hour day in the fields.
In the hundreds of acres devoted to vineyards, where is produced a fair, but not famous wine, it is women who do the bulk of the work, and the gourmand who drinks a bottle of wine with a Belgian label has woman to thank for his enjoyment.
But it is not alone at farming that the women of Leopold's realm toll for their keep.
Incredible as it may seem, they are actually miners, and no small part of the valuable mineral output of the country results from their efforts.
WOMAN CULTIVATING THE LAN
A Substitute.
Being very close-fisted, Mason had never allowed himself the costly habit of smoking. He always felt himself a loser when any one treated to cigars. But on one occasion, when the party he was with entered a stationery and cigar store, he made up his mind to have his share of the treat.
"Won't you have a smoke this time?" asked the leader.
"No, thank you," replied Mason;
"but if you don't mind, I believe I'll take a pencil."
OLD FLEMISH WOMAN HARVESTING IN THE FIELDS.
In the United States it has always been a matter of concern with humanitarians that in order that the world might be supplied with coal, men must do all the dangerous work incident to mining and getting it to the market. In this country the miners, subject of so much solicitude, are men, but in Belgium the same dangers, privations and exhausting work are the portion of woman. In all the Belgium mines women work at the surface, handle coal, push wagons and do the work that breaker boys accomplish in the United States. In some of the mines they are not permitted to go below the surface, but in others they actually compete with the male miners. In all the centers of the various minerals at Liege, where copper is wrought; at the black marble quarries of Diant, the state quarries of Herbe mount and callimine mines at Liege, there will be found women working, and in most cases very grateful for the opportunity.
OLD FLEMISH MAN HA
At the great seats of the finen industry, Courtney and Bruges, in West Flanders, Ghent in East Flanders, Brussels in Brabant, Mechlin or Malines in Antwerp, Tourney in Hainaut, women are employed in great numbers and are more skilled than men. But no account of their ability is taken in the wages paid them, which are for the most part pitifully small.
When Dowie, as part of his dream of a modern Zion in the United States, brought a number of lace workers from Belgium, with the idea or making a fortune from their work, he made them no extravagant offers of salary, yet their income was as much in one year and been in a month in their native land. But the lot of these line workers and lace makers is a dream of luxury

compared to what some other Belgian women must endure.
It is hard to conceive of a woman brickmaker, but they have them in Belgium by the thousand. Their part of the work is to prepare the clay for the molders who actually make the bricks.
Still another unfortunate section of King Leopold's feminine population finds its livelihood working in the woods, breeches like a man, and labor as hard as the strongest of their sons, fathers, brothers or husbands.
Naturally where this is permitted in Leopold's own realm, that country in which he resides and of whose conditions he cannot be ignorant, it is not to be expected that he would be overscrupulous as to what goes on in the far-off Congo from whence he derives that fabulous income which makes him one of the richest sovereigns in Europe.
Congo native women are still used for doing the eavy carrying of the caravans, and they lift and haul loads that would test the strength of the strongest man.
There is nobility to protect them, man or woman, for the native Congo man has no regard whatever for the comfort of his own. He regards them as inferior to himself in every respect, and only fitted for drudgery.
RVESTING IN TH. FIELDS.
Nor do the Belgian soldiers protest. They are only for the money they can return to their king from the great rubber industry, and he is too busy with the wiles of the kind of Cleo de Merode to bother about justice to women.
CALENDAR FOR THIS YEAR.
By committing to memory the following lines one is provided with an easy method of stating off-hand the day of the week of any date in the present year. Jelly of my apples made, I joyfully ate;
Sickish often; no delight!
The number of letters in each word represents the date of the first Saturday in the particular month to which it corresponds. Thus "jelly," representing January, has five letters, so the first Saturday in January is the fifth of that month; "of," representing February, has two letters, so the first Saturday in February is the second of that month, and so on through all the twelve months.
Each word of the twelve, excepting "of" and "I," has its first letter the same as the month it represents, thus "jelly" begins with "J." because January begins with "J." "m" begins with "m" because March begins with "M," and so on all through, with the above two exceptions.
Having thus ascertained the date of the first Saturday, the date of every other Saturday in the month is got by the addition of the necessary number of sevens, from which it is but a simple step to any intermediate day. For example, to know the day on which Christmas day falls this year, "delight," because December has seven letters, so the first Saturday in December is the seventh of the month, the second Saturday the fourteenth, the third the twenty-first, twenty-five being four days more gives Wednesday, which is four days from Saturday, the twenty-first.
Rear Admiral Mead, at a dinner at the Portsmouth navy yard, illuminated with a story an interesting discourse on food inspection.
"A sailor," he said, "brought a tin cup to an inspecting officer and exclaimed:
"Taste this, sir. That is all I ask. Just taste it."
"The officer took a sip.
"Well, really, my man," he said, "this is not bad soup at all."

"SALOME" IS SENSATION OF CITIES OF EUROPE
Richard Strauss Is Having Ample Revenge for the Exclusion of Opera in New York.
THE MUSICAL "THE MUSICAL" BY MARY MAYER
MLLE. SARTO IN ATTITUDE OF RE QUESTING HEAD OF JOHN The
"Salome," scorned in the United States, is the sensation of Europe.
No opera written since Wagner started a world of controversy with his "Parsifal," has called for such discussion as the child of the genius of Richard Strauss, turned from the Metropolitan opera house in disgust because Americans objected to what they called its sacrilegious plot, the immorality of the "Dance of the Seven Bornes," the borneo that final incident when music kissed the severed head of John the Baptist.
London, Paris, Berlin and Rome have widely acclaimed that which made New York shudder.
The opera may even become a political issue in France, because of the expressed determination of President Fallenier to bestow the Legion of Honor on Composer Strauss.
Those who oppose the plan do not take their objections on any prejudice, but they do not believe "Salome," it is only because Strauss is German, traditional foe of France, that they oppose this highest of all honors. When Wagner's "Tannhuser" and "Lohengrin" were produced in Paris, it took soldiers to quell the riots raised by those who hated the composer and his works. But now Strauss is welcomed and lionized.
Truly he has nothing for which to blame his "Salome," even though it was not welcomed in the United States.
The European vogue of the work has produced a whole harvest of "Salomes," and every singer who qualification is whatever for the difficult role is now frantically studying it in order to qualify for the many performances being planned.
The costumers of Paris who are called upon to dress nearly all the heroines of the opera stage, report themselves as being unable to meet the demands for "Salome" costumes.
Every prima donna wants a different kind of make-up, and a model that suits one is entirely discarded by another.
New York saw a beautiful Salome when the daughter of Herodias in the person of Olive Fremstad passed before the vision of the one audience permitted to behold her at the Metro-politan.
Miss Fremstad had consulted the most famous of French costumers as to the best means of appropriately insisting her own beauty and making her own flowers and a corsac trembling in the wind.
The Salome dress of Miss Fremstad was intensely Parisian so far as its paillettes and its chiffon ruffles were concerned.
The long blue velvet cloak that trailed sinuously over the floor was a beautiful detail of the costume in the scenes that preceded the dance, and the net of pale blue satin strips and applet gems that hung over the silk petticoat was a characteristic and ornamental feature of the costume. So was the gold ringe on the bottom of the skirt.
Beautiful Mata Hari has proved one of the most talented and entracingly costumed Salomes to appear in the gay French capital. Her impersonation of the difficult character is said to be nothing short of bewitching.
Emmy Destinin of the Royal opera house, Berlin, had the good fortune to be picked for the role in the performances at Berlin and Paris, and added much to her fame thereby. The statuesque and lovely Breval very much

wanted to sing the part in Paris, and would have succeeded but for some controversies aroused in the matter of royalties.
Destin, who ranks as the foremost lyric soprano of the Fatherland, made instantaneous hits in both cities.
No artist in the part of Salome has attracted greater attention in the continent of Europe than charming Else Sarto. Her costuming of the part is said to be startling in its daring and bizarre theatrical effect.
Marie Sutter, who had the honor of singing "Salome" when it was first attempted at Stuttgart, is one of the most beautiful and youngest of the singers who have been caressing the
MLLE. HARI PREPARED FOR
gory head of John the Baptist. Lottie Sparrow, who is also youthful, with more than a normal share of pulchritude, has divided honors in Munich as Salome with Lil Marberg. During the first winter that "Salome" was played in Munich, Marberg played the part no less than sixty times, and such a bewildering vision did she present that a number of noted artists painted her in the scene of the dance.
Italy, usually slow to acclaim German music, has bowed its head utterly to the power of "Salome." Here two Salomes have had a bitter duel for favor, Kruschniska at La Scala, and the foremost living Italian singer, Gemma Bellincioni, at Torin and Rome.

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS
BECAUSE:
4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans.
5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique.
6-It asks no support but the people's.
Krusciniska is a native of Little Russia, and made her earlier appearances in Poland. She became known as a Pole, but when she went to France, to make a sensation as Elsa, she decided that it would be to her advantage to be known as a Russian in a country which is an ally of the land of the czar.
La Scala the dress is modeled strictly by a coraline line, and even at the sacrifice of some beauty of appearance the prima donna ismitted to inject a touch of Parisian smartness into her robes.
"Salome" leaves none of the artists who sing it in the same doubt as to their estimate as it does the general public. Spectators may be horrified when the prima donna prostrates herself on the ground and fondles that bloody head, but lately torn from the shoulders of John the Baptist, but all the singers unite in declaring it one most wonderful roles ever devised.
They realize none of the horror or disgust that chased sensitive women from the Metropolitan opera house when Miss Olive Fremstad did the

scene for one night only in this country.
They argue that undue emphasis is placed on the kissing incident, and not enough attention paid to the wonderful music that sobs and storms while the action takes place.
Miss Fremstad said in answer to a question that she felt no revulsion whatever when kissing the head.
Meanwhile Strauss is getting plenty of revenge for his exclusion from New York. If the time ever comes that the opera is permitted here, Europe will be able to send over fifty prima dognas who have sung it.
MAN LOST IN HOSPITAL
Curious Error of Record That Cost the Staff Much Trouble.
Because a cross mark was half an inch too far to the right in the city hospital register a man was reported lost in the hospital, and doctors, nurses, internes, indeed, all the members of the city hospital staff, searched through the wards for him for hours, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A man who was badly injured in a street accident was sent to the hospital for treatment and was immediately placed in the emergency ward—B 20. His admittance to the hospital was duly entered on the register, together with a brief description of his case, but in the haste of making the entry the clerk placed the cross mark too far to the right and he was registered as a colored man.
His case was attended to and full details of treatment recorded in daily reports of the ward. In this instance he was described as a white man. When the day's records of all details were compared it was found that a colored man with a broken collar bone had been received at the hospital during the day for treatment, but none of the wards of the hospital contained such a patient. Nobody waited to investigate the record further, but every one began searching for the missing colored man.
When no trace of him could be found the hospital staff decided he had simply walked out of the institution and the work of checking up the day's record was resumed. While going over the emergency ward's register the mystery was explained, and it was found that the clerk who made the entry of admission had inadvertently checked the patient in the "colored" instead of in the "white" column, and so he had been admitted as a colored man and treated as a white man. As he was a white man the entrance record was corrected and the man was "found."
A SAIL IN SIGHT
BUT IT IS ONLY A ROCK IN THE
MID-PACIFIC.
A Peculiar Freak of Nature That
Fools Every Traveler When it
Is First Sighted.
To persons on the Pacific ocean the sighting of another vessel is of greater interest than the same occurrence on the Atlantic, for ships are not so common on the endless waters of the Pacific. There is one place, however, where the lookout will always an nounce a ship.
He knows better, but he must have his joke, and it never fails. He gives the familiar call and the passengers crowd forward and strain their eyes. Away off they dimly see a ship.
Every minute its outlines come more clearly into view. Why, it is bearing straight down on us, and the faithful Pacific trade wind is bellying its sail, they cry.
It happens that they are approaching a little group of the Wallis islands, but land it can scarely be discerned, even when the the crew deal six or seven miles away. Glass on board is brought to bear on the vessel, and a strange thing about it suddenly becomes a subject of animated discussion.
It doesn't seem to be moving, and yet that glistening white sail is puffed out by the wind. Why, it can actually be seen to swell under the effort of the gentle trades. Questions are fired at the captain and the lookout, but they are silent.
By unanimous vote it is adjudged to be a rather small craft. As the distance lessens its bow seems to be rather blunt. It certainly is not moving, and yet the wind fills that sail.
The awakening is sudden. The illusion is dispelled in a moment at the Sail Rock. proper distance. It is seen to be nothing more or less than a huge block of madreporic coral which has resisted the assaults of the sea and towers into the air.
When seen near at hand the traveller only remarks its strange position, alone in the waste of waters. Its base has been worn away by the waves on all sides so that it is rounded, but above the rock spreads out wide and at a distance bears a striking resemblance to a bark whose sail is filled by a stern breeze. The slender growth of trees at the top has the exact appearance, when seen from afar, of a mast. Nothing more is needed to complete the illusion. The resemblance to a vessel never fails to receiveQueue who sees the rock for the first time.
It was named Sail Rock by the earliest seafarers. The nautical instructions supplied to Pacific mariners make note of the resemblance to a ship. They also speak of the rock as serving a good purpose, for it is in front of the narrow opening in the reef through which vessels must pass, and so points out the place.
Another fact that to serve to keep up the illusion to the last moment is, as all the passengers are told, that the opening in the reef is rather difficult to enter and a pilot comes out to take the vessel in. While the passengers are gazing and speculating some bright person of course suggests that this is the pilot boat coming out, and everybody adopts the idea as explaining the true mission of the strange ship. They are not aware that, among the other people who is on the lookout for ships, which call only at intervals, and the pilot usually has to be summoned by the boom of the ship's cannon.
But the lookout has his joke, and life is enlivened for days by the memory of the excitement over a bit of Pacific coral.
The Tallest Tree.
The highest tree in the world, so far as has been ascertained, is an Australian gum tree of the species Eucalyptus regnans, which stands in the Cape Otway range. It is no less than 415 feet high. Gum-trees grow very fast. There is one in Florida which shot up 40 feet in four years, and another in Guatemala which grew 120 feet in 12 years. This corresponds to a rise of ten feet in a year, or nearly one foot per month.
Probably the most curious Bible class in the west of England is that of deaf-mutes which meets near Chakal, Gloucestershire. All the members are deprived of their senses of hearing and speech and have to communicate and "talk" to each other by means of the deaf-mute alphabet.

THE JIM CROW CASE.
The Jim car crow question has at length reached the interstate commerce commission.
One Georgia Edwards, it seems, a colored woman of Nashville, Tenn. determined to go upon a visit to some relatives at Dalton, in Georgia, last week, to transit the Western and Atlantic railroad, operated by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Company. Purchasing a first-class ticket, she entered a car sacred to the use of white persons only. Naturally, she was ordered by the astonished conductor to betake her car, and the police promptly asserted that she was an "interstate passenger", and would do nothing of the sort, whereupon she was hauled out bodily and deposited in the "Jim Crow" car, where she complains the surrounding were dirty, the atmosphere impregnated both with the odor of alcohol of men who were in it indulging in alcoholic foes and sweal words.
Two things are significant in the foregoing statement: The intelligence of the Afro-American woman and the recklessness of the white condescension in the man known that her right to ride a horse could have been upheld by a court in Maryland; the conductor if he knew the fact, cared nothing for it, so he 'haunted her out' rather more summarily in Senator Rayner's sister, a Jewess, who bummed him out at a Jewish-Blenheim hotel at Atlantic City, or than an American navy was.

TRAINING THE HAND
Some time ago the Archdeaconry of Washington appointed a commission to inquire into the physical, moral and cultural conditions of the Afro-American population of that city. Dr. Roland Cotton Smith, chairman of the commission, has recently made a preliminary report in which it is stated among other things, that "there is litter and neglect in the American for industrial pursuits and domestic service, the public school emphasize entirely too much the training of the head rather than of the hand." The opinion of THE APPEAL, the Archdeaconry of Washington, would have to spend about a century of training to render it competent to operate sensibly as to the physical, moral and spiritual conditions of the Afro-American population, the said training to be supervised by a doctor of Baptist and Methodist preachers.
If the Rev. Dr. Roland Cotton Smith will investigate the matter, he can readily discover that in human nature only one element can be trained—that the mind, the intellect, the soul. The same element—twenty years' training will not cause it to saw a broomstock itself. The hand is an implement, also; it cannot be trained. As a saw can be rusty or bright, sharp or dull, so the hand can be warm or cold, large or small, and cannot be trained, as it was made to be used.
"The American mission office," in the current issue, says: "According to the report published in the daily papers, 'Abe' Hummel's penitentiary birth, 'Place of birth,' 'Boston,' 'nationality,' Hebrew. If this is as reported it is high that the custom of New York inmates should be abroached. Every native United States is an American, whatever his religion or descent may be. It cannot not be difficult to bring about the change, as there can be no intention on the part of the State of New York to deprive us of the right to be counted as Americans, which is our birthright.

The offer of the brother has caused a wave of sympathy for both him and the condemned being is being circulated asking the governor to commute the sentence.
THE ANGLO-SAXON
A writer in the New York Sun, a Caucasian, says:
1. "A study of Dr. Walter Laidaw's statistics and conclusions, as set forth in to-day's Sun editorial, leads one more surely and directly to the source of the poisoning of the wells" of our nation, and who do Commissioner Sargent's criminal acts of husbands and wives, such as immorality, cruelty and others of a similar character, which have to be proved before divorces are granted, and are doing so much to debase the nation, are almost entirely confined to the Anglo-Saxon or native American element.
2. "That the Anglo-Saxon element is criminal and decadent is proved by the fact that the race in this country is not reproducing itself. From an average of six children per family 100 years ago to none at all, or but one child, now, and that a regretable accident, is proof positive of degrading and demoralizing practices.
3. "More than 95 per cent of the lazier criminal participants in lynchings and burnings. North as well as South, are native Anglo-Saxons.
"4. The debauchers of the franchise (the purity of which your correspondents desire to preserve), the men who trade on the poverty, weakness and weakness of the poor man and tempt him with monies they have in them, are, as a rule, of the Anglo-Saxon race, and, being educated, they are the greater criminals against the moral well-being of the nation.
"5. Those of our people who bought and sold the land, lived by their labor were all Anglo-Saxons.
"6. Those of our people who sought to destroy our republic and its institutions were all Anglo-Saxons.
"7. In the cities of the country, North and South, where the Anglo-Saxon is the greatest majority, there will be found the least material and moral progress and the least effort.
"8. In the cities, North and South where the percentage of the Anglo-Saxon is smallest and European immigration is the greatest there will be found the greatest progress, material and moral.
"9. The greatest and most persistent enemies of our religious and political institutions who have done most to pull them down are mainly of the Anglo-Saxon race, themselves relapsing into the practices of paganism.

Society's sportsmen, to whom geographical location offers no barriers, are going further afield in their hunt for big game. New York millionaires have journeyed to India to have a shot at a man eating tiger; expeditions have penetrated well night inaccessible ple portions of the great Northwestern wilderness for the sole purpose of bagging game, and wealthy ulm rods even have penetrated the froze desolation of the Arctic circle. It is manifest that a man who can climb 300 yards, and who can afford money, may seek excitement with his rife in any part of the world. The Cape to Cairo railway, in Africa, has already begun to popularize the country as a "paradise of sport." Where formerly an expedition to hunt the elephant,
rhinoceeros, hippopotamus or lion was attended with considerable hardship and danger, apart from other difficulties, one may now reach the heart of the big game country in comparative comfort.
A London paper recently remarked the great number of persons prominent in society who had gone into the African jungle to seek excitement. They have gone not only with the gun, but with camera as well, and here the photographic apparatus fell into the hands of the fully, supplements the rife in bringing down the quarry. This rhinoceros was charging the hunter when it was killed. The shot was an excellent one, of which the man may boast with perfect propriety, for it was immediately fatal. The big beast, carried forward by its momentum, crashed down on the ground with an impact that shook the trees. As it lay there, there a marry, the conditions of light and highly favorable, the camera took a shot, which, you must admit, was just as successful as that of the rife.

fure of two centuries ago into the shade. It is of hair, of course, and string bark woven one into the other; butter grease and clay. Its point is a piece of antelope horn scraped down. The black man did not fix his hair in this fashion merely to be curious and to appreciate the beauty of the photography who snapped him in the neighborhood of the Kafue river, on the Cape to Cairo railway, but wrought in it is much of social pride and superstition. When he gazed upon the plain, unadorned head of the white man, Machu-Kulunbwe wondered why the machu-barbarian had not the sense of beauty and the mystic relief which were his. All of the vanity, all of the reverence and the unreasonable coverings of the body compared with this steeple point of distinction!

A HOSPITAL INCIDENT BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles)
Willie Madden picked up the bowl of brown sugar, and giving the oil-cloth-covered table a wipe with the sleeve of his jacket, hobbled into the pantry.
The pantry was empty. Miss Arthurs, the nurse, was busy back in the ward, turning down small beds for smaller, occupants, hunting out "nighties" for the babies, changing hot pillows for cool ones, and providing that final drink of water which is forever associated with bed-time, and which helps to postpone, if only for a moment, the inevitable turning down of the light.
Wille Madden tolerated for a moment in the pain, finishing a bowl of bread and milk which he found there, and filling his pockets with lumps from the sugar bowl. Then he limped back again. The ward was growing quiet now. Over in a corner behind a screen, the "Hunkie" baby was getting its bran bath, while on the red-covered center table three nursing bottles reposed in a basin of hot water, substitute mothers for as many waiting infants.
Wille Madden, autocrat of the ward, sat down on the side of his small seat, leaned his crutch against a chair, his broken leg extended stiffly before him.
Wille Madden was not sleepy. "Nice hour to go to bed," he grumbled to a boy on the other side. "Six o'clock ain't no bedtime. Last edition's just out."
"It ain't so bad when you can walk around and get tired," said the next boy, who wore a plaster cast around his small body, and whose legs and arms tossed restlessly. "I guess I won't never be tired again. I goin' to sit up next week, though." With his debated for a moat eagerly, holding his thin fment. Then he reached for his trousers and fumbled in the pockets. "Here, he said, carelessly tossing over a lump of sugar, "take that to make you feel better." The boy in the plaster jacket took gers and nibbling at it to make it last. Miss Arthurs gave the last dose of medicine, and locking the cupboard went nearly out, her keys jingling in her hand. A moment later the night nurse stopped at the door, her oo-bee-heedles making no sound, and unrolled a good night to the children.
The boy cautiously crept out of bed and reached for his crutches. It was evident that some dark conspiracy was on foot, for he limped noiselessly to the corridor and looked carefully up and down. There was no one in sight, and save for a strong odor of turpentine in the air and an unpleasant smell in the next ward, there was no evidence of life. Willie Madden's next motions, were mysterious. He crept over to the pantry, with its rows of locked cupboard and refrigerator doors. Some one came quickly down the hall, and the boy slipped behind a door and stood quiet, his heart thumping in his ears. The steps passed on and again everything was quiet. Willie Madden emerged from his hiding place, and stooping from his chair, a splinted leg bent before him, he groaned the long red table-cover which reached almost to the floor.
When he straightened again he held in his hand three large, thick slices of bread plentifully sprinkled with brown sugar, which he proceeded to button inside his jacket. Still with the same caution he went back to the ward. There was no vacillation in his movements. An observer, had there been one, woul have seen esseen the wicker basket without a spare space he picked from the nurses' table the little wicker basket which carried empty bottles to the pharmacy to be reflilled, and carried it to his bed.
His next proceeding was curious. From under his mattress he produced an orange, somewhat flattened from its place of concealment, and a ball of cord, much knotted and of every shade and thickness. In a moment he had fastened the string to the hand, and then the sugared bread and the orange, and was ready for the last act in the drama.
The night nurse came along the corridor and stopped at the door. "What's wrong, William?" she called softly. "Gettin' a drink," he answerd menaciously. He watched her out of sight, then slipped to the window and unhooked the screen. "Hist!" he called into the darkness. "Hist!" came sibilantly from below.
The basket disappeared over the window ledge. It swung slowly down into the void, its progress marked by the various hues of the cord, until at a knot of lavender and green the conspirator stopped. The cord jerked for a moment—the nibbling of a hungry fish at the bait. Then the basket swung clear and was hauled up swiftly. Rather to the surprise of the boy above, it was not empty. At the bottom was a soft, sticky gumdrop, once lemon-yellow, now a dark brown. Willem Madden drew the screen, the snapped to catch and ground the gumdrop into his mouth with what seemed a single comprehensive gesture. Then, the basket in his hand he turned around. In the middle of the ward stood one of the doctors and the night nurse. Both were frowning ferociously, both were looking at the basket.
"Well?" said Willie Madden defiantly, when the silence became oppressive.
"Well," said the doctor, "this looks uncommonly like stealing, my friend. What was in that basket?"
"Bread and butter—and sugar," he said honestly. He had baked somewhere that there are times when the truth is a good thing. Anyhow, what use to say that he was merely amusing himself, when they had only to
look out to see the kid eating his supper just below the window?
"Is that all?" asked the nurse searching.
"An orange," he admitted.
The nurse turned to the doctor.
"The Fruit and Flower Mission sent oranges to day. It was probably his own."
"Who's waiting below there?" The doctor's voice was even more savage than before. It was too dark to see his eyes.
"The kid—my brother."
The doctor spoke a word or two to the nurse, turned on his heel and went to the Nile Madden watched him shrankling.
"What'll he do to him he asked tremulously. 'He sin't done nothin.' I did the pinchin."
The nurse was still severe. "Walt and see," she said, holding tight to the boy's shoulder. "It's a serious thing to pass bread and butter—and sugar out of a hospital window at night."
There was not a sound in the ward except the heavy breathing of the
"Hst!" He Called.
sleeping children. Once Sarah Ann Johnson mown restlessly and Willie Madden started in terror, white and choking. He thought it was the "kid" crying, and his heart nearly stopped beating from fright and uncertainty. Then he steeled himself, and bracing his crutch against the bed he stood erect and said defiantly:
"Well, if it's a reform school you'll have to send the kid, for he ain't got nobody to look out for him but me! Say, how would you feel to know that your kid was hungry when you was just stuffed with good things? You can't eat much yourself, could you? It'd never work for you, wouldn't it? Well, that's the way I feel every time I take a bite, for I know the kid is half starved because I'm not there to look after him."
The nurse moved a little nearer to Willie Madden, but she remained silent. He almost hated her, she seemed so cold and hard and relentless. He was glad that he wasn't her kid, and that the other kid .wasn't hers. Well, nothing mattered much now, they would let him go with the kid. There was sound of steps out in the corridor. There was more than one person, and the boy braced himself again to meet the shock. Probably it was a policeman, maybe two of them, but where was the kid all this time? The room spun around for a second, and Willie Madden was obliged to cling to the little white bed for support. He had never felt this way before. Somehow he had always been able to stay calm, certainly if it only affected him, but this was different, for now the kid was involved, his little kid who depended upon him for any emergency, and whom he had never failed.
A few seconds later the doctor came in, pushing before him a small, badly frightened boy, who displayed much resistance and who still held in his hand a piece of bread and butter. The doctor felt around in his coat pocket, and pulled out with difficulty a similar piece.
"Here," he said gravely, presenting it. "You were leaving this behind."
Willie Madden was puzzled. He slid from the nurse's restrained hand and hobbled over to the disconsolete newcomer.
"Don't you be scared," he said impressively. "You ain't done nothin'!" "The order book, please," said the doctor. He laughed. For a moment, he passed it to the man who read it aloud to the astonished boy. "New patient, otherwise the Kid, Bath and bed, with liberal diet. The Brothers Madden will go to the Fresh Air Home to-morrow."
Willie Madden drew a breath of relief, then turned up. He tip-tapped over to the bed next his, where lay the boy who had helped to undress him, and waked him ruthlessly.
"Here," he said, "you crawl into the bed over there next to, Sarah Ann. This here bed's for me little brother."
Plans Fine Country Home.
Percy A. Rockefeller, son of William Rockefeller and nephew of John D. Rockefeller, is building a country home in Connecticut which is unlike any other ever planned. Perhaps the most extraordinary feature of it is a confined air space in the walls, forming a nonconforming heat, cold or cooler. The air space, it is said, will make the house warm in winter, cooler in summer and dryer all the year around than any other man's home, rich or poor. It is said that if all the windows and doors were closed on a hot summer day, air being introduced only through the basement, the temperature would be from 15 to 20 degrees lower inside the house than without.
Onions as Irrigators
A farmer has made a discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows, the onions, being so strong, bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such volumes that the roots of the onions form a big crown is raised in spite of the drought. - Reed Miyu (Minn.)

The lodges met at Wagner Hall at 2:30 o'clock and in full regalia formed a parade and led by the magnificent Postoffice brass band, marched to the church, where the members of chapters had assembled and together marched into the church all making a very imposing spectacle.

W. H. H. FRANKLIN
YOUNGEST OF THE TWO AFRO-AMERICANS WHO PASSED THE STATE BAR EX-AMINATION.
An Exponent of Genuine Pluck, Determination, Tenacity, Perseverance and Achievement—Admitted to Bar of Supreme Court, May 29, 1907.
"Commonly physicians like wine are best when they are old, and lawyemen like brawn, when they are young and new."—FULLER
Mr. Franklin was born in Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 1879. He came to St. Paul when he was but twelve years of age, and resided with his grandmother, Mrs. Almeda Wilson, with whom he has made his home ever since, and to whom he owes most, for the help and encouragement she gave him during his herculean struggle to secure a literary and professional education. He obtained the ground work of his literary education in the public schools of St. Paul, and early made the legal profession his choice; preparatory to which he entered the law office of Frederick L. McGhee (in Oct. 1896) and remained there for about a year. In May, 1904, he came to Minneapolis and continued the study of law under the direction of Attorney William R. Morris, in his office, 1020 Guaranty Loan Bldg. He matriculated (1904) in the law department of the University of Minnesota, taking the regular law course leading to the L. B. degree. He is the third of four degrees, of which, two hundred students to be admitted to practice law before the bar of the state of Minnesota, having the special distinction of being one of the first two to pass the bar examination of this state, which is said to be the hardest bar examination held in any state in the Union. The other lawyers were admitted to the bar by virtue of diplomas from a law school or of having come to this state as lawyers in good standing from other states, or as other expressed by comity. His record in school is excellent; he won all the mourn court cases in which he was engaged while a student in the University law depart

ment; appearing in some cases as counsel for plaintiff and in others as counsel for defendant. Not having time to take chare of one of his moot court cases, he placed it in the hands of one of his classmates, who lost the case, whereupon Mr. Franklin resumed charge of the case, appealed it, and won a signal victory in the appellate court. This is a good exponent as to his ability, and we predict a brilliant future for this young barrister, as he has evidenced in an unmistakable manner his possession in no ordinary degree of every quality necessary to make him a shining light in his profession. The difficulties Mr. Franklin has had to overcome and the obstacles he has successfully surmounted, when related, seem almost incredulous, and easily distinguish him as a man of indomitable will and force of personality, resourceful and untiring in his efforts when he undertakes anything just such a man as the legal protector requires. Studious, careful, astute,毋庸赊谰, thorough, his success appears assured. He at present located with his former preceptor and friend, Attorney William R. Morris, 1025 Metropolitan Life Bldg., formerly Guaranty Loan Bldg., where he will be pleased to see any prospective client who may need legal service.

Giving the Mail a Sendoff.

REPENTS OF HIS BARGAIN,
Connoisseur in Bull Terriers and Rare
Editions Sorely Vexed.
A certain young man of literary
tastes has two somewhat incongruous
yet almost equally expensive fads
—a fondness for dogs of illustrious
pedigree and a love for first editions
of celebrated books. One day he invi-
tated a friend to his house to see two
of his latest acquisitions. One of
them was an imported bull terrier and
the other was a rare copy of a work
by a celebrated Boston author. He
exhibited the dog first.
"Isn't he a beauty?" he exclaimed.
"He's the finest specimen of that
breed that was ever brought to this
town and I got him for about half
what he's worth. Yes, he's perfectly
harmless and as gentle as can be.
Now I'll show you something in the
book line that you don't see every day.
Cost me a good round sum of money,
too."
They went into the library and the first thing that caught his eyes was the mangled wreck of his cherished volume lying on the table. He summoned his colored servant.
"Sam," he said wrathfully, "what has happened to this book? I wouldn't have had it ruined for a hundred dollars!"
"Hit wuz de dawg, suh," answered Sam. "Yo' left 'im in hyuh when you' went away, suh, an' he done chawed it all up, Vey' sorry, suh."
The following advertisement appeared among the small "ads" in a local paper the next day:
"Wanted — To Exchange — A full-blooded imported bull terrier dog of the finest breed for a copy of the first edition of The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table."—Youth's Companion.
NEW DEVICES IN WARFARE.
Recoil of the Dreadnought's Broadside is Something Astoning.
It has been estimated that the Dreadnought's broadside develops force equal to the lifting of an entire city block composed exclusively of twenty-story sky scrapers! Little wonder that the uncutthon monster skidded sideways under the recoil like an automobile on a muddy road.
It is little wonder that France has laid down six Dreadnoughts to be completed within the next two years and Germany quickly followed, with Japan and ourselves equally anxious. Our reply to the Dreadnought is a projected ship of 20,000 or 25,000 tons, with perhaps twelve-inch guns mounted in doubletreets.
The latest developments are turbine torpedoes, with a range of 4,000 yards and a speed of thirty-five knots. They cost about $5,000 each, and are actually controlled by the boat they leave by means of electric light rays received on a tiny shaft projecting from the torpedo as it tears through the water. Thus the automatic missile is under control and may be brought back at any moment.
Signs of Coming Earthquakes.
Signs of Colling Earthquakes
Can an earthquake be "belt" approaching a shower of rain can be felt and a fall of snow? On the Riviera in 1887 the horses ladd their ears back and gave every sign of uneasiness. In Chile the birds have been observed to fly inland just before a convulsion. In Talcahuano in 1853 the dogs fled from the city. These actions, of course, as a scientist who has collected a valuable list, suggests, may be mere coincidences, for birds will fly inland and kittens become nervous when no earthquake is nigh. On the other hand, as the lower animals are singularly sensitive to any changes of weather and to pressure of the air they "may even be conscious of subterranean movements which do not come within human ken or are even not detectable by the most delicate instruments."
Cost of British Legislation
Cost of British legislation through the British parliament. A certain railway once proposed a scheme for a part of the country where their undertaking would be a godsend to every enterprise and contribute to the wealth of a whole nation. The bill ought to have gone through with almost no outlay of money. But to get the bill through parliament cost the sum of $2,000,000 before ever a sod was turned or a brick laid.
New York Was Once New Orange. Manhattan island was once named New Orange for fifteen months. When the English took it from the Dutch the name New Amsterdam was changed to New York, and then when the Dutch recaptured it in July, 1673, they called it New Orange. It held that name until the English retook it in November, 1674, when the name New York was restored and has been retained ever since.
Temperature on the Moon
Temperature on the Moon.
Astronomers long ago came to the conclusion that the moon's surface is very hot during the height of the lunar day, which lasts two weeks, and very cold during the lunar night, which is equally long. These extremes of temperature reach their height at the lunar noon and midnight and are greater than any natural temperatures on the earth.
And Ma Scowled.
"I'll be glad," said Tommy Twaddles,
"when I get old enough to do as I please."
"Yes, but you won't appreciate your chance then," answered Pa Twaddles. "As soon as you get that old, you'll up and get married, likely."
A shoe to be proud of
Most shoes look well when you first get them, but it has taken years of experience to make THE GOTZIAN SHOE, which keeps its shape even after months of wear. It keeps stylish because it
"Fits like your footprint."
Backed by fifty-two years' experience in shoe making.

Cent Life at 40 Below
"Tent life in zero weather is not particularly hard on one," said J. D. Cary of Pendleton, Or. "When I was in Alaska three years ago I lived in a tent when the thermometer was 40 below zero. We had two walls to the tent, so that there was always air space between the two sections. A tent is far warmer than is commonly supposed. There are many homes in Alaska that are snug and comfortable all winter through, although they are sided with only one thickness of boards and three thicknesses of building paper."

EYE DEFECTS AND SYMPTOMS.
Eye defects are few—symptoms many. There can be but two defects in the human eye. Theeye may be too long in whole. Then we have the Myopic eye. Or too short in whole—the Hyperopic eye. Combine the two in one eye and we have Astigmatism. Properly adjusted glasses will correct these defects. Medicines or waiting, never. Symptoms that spring from these two simple eye malformations are manifold; such as eye and headaches, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, Chorea, Epilepsy and other ailments having their origin in lack of nerve force. We correct all Defects of the human eye that glasses will remedy. Charges reasonable. Satisfaction guaranteed.
