DURHAM MAY Effort Being Made To Bring It Here. DR. SHEPHERD'S PLAN. Colored School for Colored Ministers and Teachers. IT WILL COST ABOUT $150,000 Dr. James E. Shepard Is The Moving Spirit—He Has Made Consider- From the Durham, N. C. Herald. That Durham has high, exciting prospects for a colored training school national in its scope, and designed to meet the needs of the colored race, is the opinion of Dr. James E. Shepard, who is its procuring spirit and the man who will mor ethan any other, settle the location of the institution. This favorite project of Durham's distinguished colored citizen, is a certainty now somewhere. Its structural size will interest all people who direct their minds much to the material and three large buildings costing about $150,000 will be built in addition to which will be an endowment fund of $200,000. A large amount of that money has already been raised, and one well known white gentleman of the South is waiting to send his check for $5,000 when the call is made. He desires to make the first contribution. At present, Irmo, nine miles from Columbia, South Carolina, is a strong bidder for the school. There have been offered 280 acres for it and it is situated in an ideal spot. Hillsboro was another favorite, but that place has been made secondary to Darham should any one offer the site here. Dr. Shepard is certain that if a site of twenty or more acres can be secured here the school will naturally gravitate where its motive power is and in the fitness of things, nothing is more appealing than that it come to a strong colored colony now doing so much for themselves as these here. The plans of the school are outlined in a neat brochure just issued but not yet disseminated. The primary, if indeed not the paramount, object of Dr. Shepard, is the erection and establishment of a Bible school after the model of Northfield and Winona Lake with chatauqua features, and designed especially for colored ministers. With the Bible course, Dr. Shepard says it is planned to have a literary department adapted specifically for the illiterate minister. He holds the opinion that the colored minister more than any one class of men, is the leader of his race and that the church has suffered by having well meaning, though feeble ecclesiastics to lead it. A course for Sunday School teachers and home missionaries will be established and as the pamphlet says, "the art of teaching and reaching men will be given." There will be given also a special course in languages necessary for those going to the foreign missionary field. A brief study of medecine and industrial work fitting them for better service in those fields. Special, work training young men and women giving them better equipment for service in the christian associations is yet another dream of the promoter and the whole structure is built-up on the old monkish dogma of "work is worship." Dr. Shepard believes that the people are ready for the institution and has had advices that there are many ready to enter the school when it is erected. He says it will be successful from the start and will fill a niche in his race's work that will soon make men marvel that they had not employed such an institution before. Chattanooga has offered a site so that competition may be seen strong from the start. The buildings necessary are an auditorium and two dormitories costing about $15,000 each. His purpose is to have a hotel and $100,000 additional as an endowment. And he prefers Durham as its site. The project is as yet a dream but his race is praying that heaven and a philanthropic public will help the dream along. It is making a great start and the board of trustees is following have been chosen trustees: Dr. W. S. Richardson, the well known South Washington druggist in an interview with The Bee, expresses himself as follows, on suffrage in the District of Columbia. "I believe that the interests of the citizens of Washington, or any other city can best be served by one man: at the same time, the man who executes the laws should not have the power to make the law, or regulations, as that would be contrary to all rules of civilized countries. The person who rules a city should be elected by the people over whom he presides, and be made to feel that he is responsible to the citizens and taxpayers for the faithful carrying out of the laws of the city over which he presides. A Board could be created by Congress with such power to make police regulations, or any power that Congress might deem proper: a Board of this kind could have half appointed by the President and the other half by the people of the District. By this system we would still be a partner of the government, which is a good partner, and always has a good, fat pocket book, and is willing to pay one half of the bills. There is no reason why the Government should not pay one half of the general expenses of the District, since they own so much of the valuable property in the District, and should even without this consideration feel that the whole people of this country have an interest in the capital of the greatest nation on earth. By this system it would not disturb the present method of the government and the District in carrying out the improvements which are now contemplated, but on the contrary would greatly stimulate the citizens in urging greater improvements as they would feel more M. B. interested in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the city. All office holders and voters should be bonafide residents of this city and who do not vote any other state, the qualification for voting. I believe the city should be represented in Congress by a representative elected by the people." The Bee is personally acquainted with Dr. Richardson, and knows him to be a man of sound convictions. The National Association of Retail Druggists, in convention at Atlantic City, September 14-18th, has this to say of Dr. Richardson: "While our committee on National Legislation have not been successful in passing any new laws, they have been eminently successful in defeating legislation which if enacted would have been of great disadvantage to the druggists of the entire country. Probably the most important of these measures was the parcels post bill. We can justly claim that our legislative committee was a very important factor in the suppression of this vicious measure. Too much credit can not be given to the chairman of this committee, Mr. W. S. Richardson, of Washington, D. C., for his indefatigable efforts in our behalf." PUBLIC PRINTER LEACH Hon. John S. Leach, the new public printer, is giving entire satisfaction, his enemies to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Leach has made many needed changes in the personnel of his office since his appointment to that position. DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD, of Durham, N. C., presenting a new education that will ameliorate the coun- Valee Enofo. Secretary of the National Negro Business League, and Private Secretary to Dr. Washington. MR. EMMETT J. SCOTT. If there is one level-headed man in this country it is Mr. Emmett J. Scott, private secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington. Mr. Scott is an easy and forceful talker.. He handles his subject like a philosopher, and never fails to carry his audiences with him. One characteristic about Mr. Scott is, that he is diplomatic in his business transactions, but honest to a fault. He may be relied on, which is always necessary in dealing with business men. As secretary of the Negro Business League of the United States no better man could have been selected.His services at Tuskegee and to Dr. Booker T. Washington are invaluable. The Bee cannot say too much in praise of this distinguished young man. SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS TO MEET. The Baptist Sunday School Union will hold its next meetings at the First Baptist Church outhwest. The business meeting on Monday evening, November 23. and the public meeting Sunday, December 20, 1908, at It has been less than a year since this Union was reorganized, and the meetings changed from monthly to quarterly ones. But President William D. Jarvis, supported by his spencid corps of officers, has led the Union a pace farther out into the field of Christian activity. At the three quarterly meetings already held $25 has been collected and contributed to the Stoddard Baptist Home: $15 for Home and Foreign Missions, and $45 for Bible Institute work for the special benefit of those who teach and conduct the forty-odd I ameliorate the con- Baptist Sunday Schools of Washington. Revs. James Lee, George Lee, Robinson, Brooks, Ricks, Norman, Best and their superintendents, as well as many other pastors, who are not known by the writer, are co-operating and assisting in the work being done by the Sunday Schools. President Jarvis is also fortunate in having Mr. J. D. Pair as his vice president. Mr. Pair served as president of a county Sunday School Convention and as secretary of the North Carolina State Sunday School Convention, for seven years, and is thoroughly in love with the work. He is now urging the adoption of two new features in Baptist Sunday School Union, viz., the appointment of a general superintendent of schools and that a quarterly review of the work done by the Union be published in pamphlet form. These two plans he hopes to see consummated by the anniversary in March, 1909. THE BEE. Now is the time to send your holiday advertisements to The Bee. It will pay you. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS January 21, 1909, has been set as the time for the installation of the new Emperor of China. That date is the Chinese New Year day. It is rumored that the death of the Dowager Empress may have been caused by foul play. Ten buildings at the Jamestown Exposition that cost $175,000 were sold for $30,500. Chief Surgeon W. A. Warfield, in his report of Freedmen's Hospital, asks that provisions for pay patients be made. The report that Justice Harlan is to retire from the Supreme Court of the United States has been denied by the Judge himself. The leading citizens are appealing to President Roosevelt to recommend to Congress the importance of suffrage in the District of Columbia. While he is not seeking the office, Secretary Root will hardly refuse a senatorial position from New York to the United States Senate. The thirteenth annual session of the National Association of State University Presidents began at the Shoreham Hotel last Monday morning. When the Sixty-first Congress meets there will be in the House 219 Republicans and 172 Democrats, the latter having gained six members. The United States was well represented last Monday at St. Peter's, in Rome, when a pontifical mass was celebrated by the Pope, it being the fiftieth anniversary of his joining the priesthood. The True Reformers in the District celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the Order in this section last Sunday in the Mr. Taft was the guest of President Roosevelt last Sunday. Mr. W. P. Burrell, Grand Worthy Secretary of the G. F. U. O. T. R. Richmond, Va., is at his desk, and his youngest son, who fractured his knee while playing football, is on the road to recovery. Each vote for the Republican nominee on election day helped to elect Mr. Taft. He was not elected by the white nor black man, but by the votes of all. Much good is expected to result from the first session of the "Virginia State Federation of Colored Women" recently held at Hampton, Va. The funeral of Mrs. Lucinda Grant—the mother of Miss Julia C. Grant—took place last Sunday at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. A game is played today at Lincoln University, Pa., between students of that school, which holds the colored championship of the world, and students of Howard University. We make note, with regret, that the office of the Texas Guide, at Victoria, Texas, has been destroyed by fire. The Guide was one of the best papers of the Southland, and we hope for it a speedy recovery from its affliction. Mr. Allen Hatter, colored, says the Mosaic Guide, sold on the streets of Little Rock last week 144 bales of cotton for the sum of $7,344.85. Mr. W. Crouse has returned after a pleasant trip to Illinois among his friends and relatives. Mrs. I. Reddick and family, of Hampton, Va., are in here. Mr. G. H. Proctor, his wife; Mr. C. J. Prickett and his wife, of this city, were the guests of honor at an entertainment given by Mr. and Mrs. William C. Brown at their home in Indianapolis quite recently. Miss Gussie Simmons was extensively entertained while visiting in Evansville, Ind. The recent visit of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bernard to Portsmouth, Va., was a social success. Mr. J. R. Davenport has returned to his home in Virginia. Mr. C. W. Matthews returned to the city from Brooklyn, N..Y., last week. Miss Mary Elizabeth Logan, the daughter of the only living brother of the late Gen. John A. Logan, was married in this city at noon last Saturday to Mr. Nathan B. Payne, of New York city. TALISMANS IN MALTA. Odd Shaped Stones to Ward Off Effects of Snake Poison. There are still to be found in Malta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents. The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St. Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island, and that it was there that while lighting a bundle of sticks for a fire a viper fastened on the Apostle's hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones as talismans, in which character they suppose them serviceable in warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons. They are found in St. Paul's Cave, imbedded in clay, and are set in rings and bracelets, and when found to be in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken internally, dissolved in wine, which method is attended, according to some people, by more immediate results. An Air with Real Air. During one of the political tours of Mr. Cleveland, in which he was accompanied by Secretary Olney, he arrived during a severe storm at a town in which he was to speak. As he entered the carriage with his friends and was driven from the station the rain changed to hail, and immense stones battered and rattled against the vehicle. A brass band, rather demoralized by the storm, stuck bravely to its post and played. "That is the most realistic music I have ever heard," remarked the President. "What are they playing?" asked the Secretary of State. "Hall to the Chief'—with real hall!" rejoined Mr. Cleveland. White Skill. In Hawaii the Japanese children outnumber the whites and natives combined; the Chinese children are as numerous, and the Portuguese, who are in a class by themselves, more than equal the number of American-born children in Hawaii; yet it is the white children only who have successfully mastered the Hawaiian sports. I was more than amused when learning to ride the surf-board to notice that the Japanese seemed never able to acquire the difficult knack, while the small white boy very quickly became more adept than the native himself.

Fine Old English Oak Burned. One of the seven fine old oaks in Salcey forest, Buckinghamshire, England, has been burned to the ground. It is surmised that visitors to the forest made a picnic fire in the hollow trunk, and the result was the complete destruction of the tree, which is said to be 300 years old. Salcey is the second great royal forest and has belonged to the crown since the conquest. Modern Convenience A plious man, entering business, was careful to say: "Remember, now, I cannot tell a lie!" To which the general counsel of the concern, rubbing his hands unctuously made answer: "Oh, certainly not! Really, it isn't in the least necessary in modern business. We form a subsidiary corporation to attend to all that sort of thing." Handy Pruning Tool. A Tennessee reader say she has made a handy pruning tool by attaching a chisel to the end of a long pole. Set the tool against the limb and hit the end of the pole with a hammer. If the tool is kept sharp it will remove the limb close to the branch and leave no ragged edges. No need climbing the trees with this instrument After Us the Deluge The remark is generally ascribed to Madame Pompadour, though it is attributed by some authorities to Prince Metternich. The champions of Madame Pompadour claim that while Metternich may have used the expression, he borrowed it from the Pompadour. Unnecessarily Alarmed. In consequence of a Lahore (India) literary society announcing a lecture,"Man, the Index of Creation," the city authorities sent 25 armed constables down to the lecture hall, which only held 50 people.

C WORTH ADVERTISING FOR There are 5,499 Negroes employed here in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs. J H.

How Coca Is Cultivated—Used as Preventive of Sleep and Fatigue. Coca is the South American invigorant. The shrub from which the coca leaves are obtained grows under favorable conditions to a height of about four meters. It is cultivated in Peru and Doliva. At the time the crop is gathered the seeds are sown in beds, when they germinate and grow, and in two months the growing plants reach a height of about a foot. The leaves, grown in the proper sunlight and shade, are yellowish, small and thick. This is the kind of leaf that is preferred for chewing by persons using the leaf as a stimulant, fortifier and preventive of sleep and fatigue in the performance of arduous work, inasmuch as they prevent rheumatism, from which miners suffer when working in mines that contain much water. Indians who masticate the leaves of this plant can work twenty-four hours without eating or sleeping. Coca leaves are used by the natives when engaged in long and fatiguing journeys and by soldiers when subject to hardships and privations. They may be used with all kinds of food and are said to cure dyspepsia, either taken as an infusion in the shape of tea or by masticating the leaves. The life of the plant when perfect is eighty years. Run By the Tide of the Eibe A 14,000-horse power plant operated by tidal energy is to be established on the south bank of the Elbe, near Cuxhaven. This is by far the most ambitious project of this character which has ever been contemplated. Electrical energy is to be delivered to the town named for various commercial purposes, but the greater part of the product of this great power plant is to be made use of by factories which are to be established in the vicinity. Hamburg capital is mostly interested in the scheme. Weekly Holiday Enforced. In New Zealand everybody is bound by law to take a weekly half-holiday, and there must be no shirking the obligation. The Grand hotel, Auckland, was recently crowded with guests, and several waiters, instead of obeying the law and taking their prescribed weekly half-holiday, remained at work on the promise of extra pay. But the authorities came to hear of it and the proprietor of the hotel had to appear in court, where he was convicted and punished. Japanese and Their Prisoners. The Japanese have a rather kindly way of treating prisoners who have not been convicted. The regulation prison dress is a kind of strawberry-red-colored kimono, but many wear light blue, as a sign that although under suspicion, they have not yet been found guilty. When prisoners in this class have occasion to pass through the public streets curious extinguisher-like baskets are placed upon their heads. Emeralds. At the present day most of the emeralds that come into the market are obtained from the famous mines of Muzo, in the Columbian province of Bayaca. These workings are situated on the eastern slope of the Andes, about 70 miles to the northwest of the town of Santa Fe de Bogota. There is another mine, called Lasquez, two days' journey by muleback from Muzo. Worries: of Modern Life Nowadays we must not drink spirits nor eat meat: we must not smoke; the air of cities is poisonous, the air of country too strong the light ruins our eyes and the face racks our nerves; shaking hands is a means of collecting microbes and missing is pure suicide. Life is indeed growing dull and difficult. Madrid Difarlo. French' Illiteracy. Although France has had compulsory education for about 25 years, the percentage of illiterates reaches the high figure of 40 per 1,000 men, and 60 per 1,000 women. In this regard Germany appears to great advantage, as she has only four illiterates per 1,000 of population. Art of Eating. Eating is not merely an enjoyment; it is a science that must be learnt, as art that must be acquired by intelligent patience. The man who at middle age has not discovered what and how much is suitable for him has not finished his education. Some Big Cities. New York has about twice the population of Chicago. The five largest cities on earth are, In the order of their size, London, New York, Paris, Chicago, Berlin. London has about a third more people than New York. Character by Hat. It is a strange fact, but a true one, that the kind of a hat a man wears and the way he wears it form a very good criterion of his natural character. Learn This To-Day: Most of the things left undone in this world are left. undone because the people that could do 'em can't know it.—Tappan Wright. NEW ZEALAND'S WHITE ISLAND. White Island, New Zealand, derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it appears to be continually enveloped. Its area is only 600 acres, and its height about 880 feet above the sea level. In form and color it is like a reposing camel, while its interior with its gray, weather beaten, almost perpendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern landing place stands a column of rock closely resembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Capt Cook. The water of the island is of a pale green hue, and anything dipped into it becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible. On a fine moonlight night a wonderful sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron hissing and snorting and sends forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egress appear to be denied by the steep-silent and gloomy cliffs. Japan's Purpose to Rise. The important inquiry with regard to Japan in a large way—is it not?—as to the direction in which the nation is now moving. And in answer to this inquiry I am able to give a most unequivocal and quite satisfactory answer. Never before in the history of the country, and at the present time in the history of no other country, do we find the same intelligent, deliberate and widely prevalent purpose to do away with the nation's reproach and to rise in the scale of national business morality. In saying this I speak what I know to be true.—Charles Vernon. Montenegro's New Capital. Montenegro is building a new capital at Antivari, the port its present capital. The works, which are in the hands of Italian contractors, were inaugurated this month by the ruling prince, who insisted in his speech on the close ties of interest binding Montenegro to Italy on the one hand and to Russia on the other, while he left Austria out in the cold. It is supposed that the new town is to be the terminal of Russia's Balkan line, and the speech is regarded as having considerable diplomatic importance for that reason. Nuts for Squirrels The New York Park Department asked that visitors feed to the squirrels only hard-shelled nuts as the eating of soft-shelled ones permits the teeth of the pets to grow long and turn under, so that they are unable thereafter to crack the hard nuts they bury in the ground for the winter's store. These hard nuts consequently, rot and the squirrels die of starvation. Here is an excellent object lesson for the human race in the care of teeth. Peanuts in Ind $ ^{1} $ . The cultivation of American peanuts which was introduced into the Kolhapur State some years ago by one of the American medical missionaries, has become so popular that they now have become almost the chief crop. Unfortunately the people persist in eating them raw, as they formerly ate the little country nuts and as the American nuts are much richer acute digestive troubles and liver inflammation are the frequent result. Decadence of Billiards. Billards are dying out—in France, at least. According to statistics of taxes, while there were 94,123 billard tables in France in 1892, in 1906 there were only 89.939. It is probably to the success of outdoor sports and of motoring that is due this loss of affection for a game which has had famous volaries. Value of the Nile. The Nile is one of the longest rivers in the world, but it is not especially valuable as a navigable stream. It's chief benefit to the country is from the immense deposits of mud carried down in the annual floods and which have made the region overflowed one of the most fertile in the world. New Yorkers Wear Out Shoes New Yorkers Wear Out Shoes. No wonder that so many shops in New York City sell shoes and that so many shops sell nothing but shoes, for it is estimated that the pedestrians of the city wear out 28,000 pairs of shoes each day. Bir Engineering Feat. One of the biggest pieces of engineering in New England is a 2,500 horsepower dam in the Union river, at Ellsworth, Me. It is constructed of hollow concrete, and cost nearly $500,000. Coal: of New Zealand. It is estimated that New Zealand has an available coal supply of 1,200,000,000 tons. of which no more than 20,000,000 tons have been touched. Elephants as Sandwich Men. Elephants are being employed in Paris as "sandwich men" to advertise a music hall in the Champs Elysees. The Purposeless Man A man without a purpose in life is like a dog with no tail to wag. OLD-TIME CLOTHING FOR LADS. Gay Apparel Worn by Schoolboys 200 Years Ago. How would the schoolboys of today enjoy wearing gayly-flowered vests, fine blue or red stockings and blue plush breeches? This was only a part of the gay apparel worn by schoolboys of two centuries or more ago. There were few public schools in those early days, and the boys who attended "pay schools" were very particular about their apparel. A single example will give a good idea of the contents of one small trunk of a boy leaving home for school. A lad about 10 years old, named John Livingstone, was sent from New York to school in New England in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century. An account of his new linen and clothes has been preserved. It reads thus, in the old spelling: 8 Plane Cravats. 4 Cravats with Lace. 4 Stripe Wastcoats with black buttons. 1 Gray hat with a black ribbon. 1 Gray hat with a blew ribbon. 1 Dousin black buttons. 1 Dousin coloured buttons. 3 Pair gold buttons. Silk & Thred to menid his Cloathes. 3 Pair silver buttons. 2 Pair Fine blew Stockings. 2 Speckled Handkerchiefs. 5 Pair Gloves. 1 Stuff Coat with black buttons. 1 Cloth Coat. 1 Pair blew plush britches. 1 Pair Serge Britches. 1 Palr new Shoes. "Oenbrig" was a heavy linen. Other schoolboys of that date had deerskin breeches. Little boys, just as soon as they could walk, wore clothes-precisely like their fathers—doubletels, which were warm double jackets; and leather knee-breeches, leather belts and knit cap—Phila-delphia Record. The Animals Must Sleep. The following notice is said to have been posted up by order of the mayor in a small parish in the upper Pyrenees: "Seeing that the young people of the parish are accustomed to assemble every Sunday after mass to dance, and that the noise which they make frightens, the hens, cocks, pigs and other domestic animals of the village, and that the result is a falling away injurious to agriculture. We hereby prohibit the dances during the hours that the domestic animals take their repose." Seeds are Food. Tamarind seeds are to be reckoned among the fairly nutritious plant products that have been reported to provide food during periods of famine in India, says Nature. The pulp of the fruit is an esteemed ingredient of certain condiments. The kernels of the seeds when freed from the skin and roasted furnish a not unwholesome flour, suitable for mixing with cereals to make small cakes. Special Test of Timber An example of the progress of the science of forestry in this country is furnished by the co-operation just arranged between the University of Idaho and the United States forest service for testing the timber growing in the State of Idaho. The tests will be specially directed to determine the fitness of these timbers for use as bridge stringers, railroad ties and paving blocks. Sunphires of Different Colors To say that anything is "as blue as a sapphire" is to make use of an incorrect comparison. Sapphires are not exclusively one color. The sapphires of Ceylon vary from a soft blue to a peacock blue, which last is practically a green. There is also a red sapphire, sometimes called a Ceylonese ruby. Further, many fine sapphires are yellow or white. Thoreau's Sensible Answer When the forest-haunting hermit Thoreau lay on his deathbed, a Calvinistic friend called to make inquiry regarding his soul. "Henry." he said, anxiously. "have you made your peace with God?" "John," replied the dying naturalist, in a whisper, "I didn't know that God and myself had quarreled!" Extend Siberian Road. A great extension of the Siberian railroad is 'proposed along the River Amur, and as it has met with hearty approval on the part of the present ministry, it is likely to be constructed. It will open up 40,000,000 acres of corn land. Australian Country Homes. In the Blue mountains, three hours from Sydney, are many beautiful country houses, mostly bungalows with wide verandas all round, where Sydney people fly in February and March to get away from the heat of the city by the harbor. Showing Folly of Anger A wise man has well reminded us that in any controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves — Carlyle. Shallow Vessels, Etc. Little bantams are great at crow- ing. Spanish Proverb. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer. They camp out on islands, in the forests, and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are very merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing, they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics; they all become like children and are the very happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. The Longest-Lived If you would enjoy a long life you should become a minister. (of any religious denomination), or, falling that, a gardener, a gamekeeper, a farmer or a railway engine driver. These, according to Dr. John Tatham's report to the Registrar-General on the mortality in certain occupations during the three years from 1900, which was issued last night, are the callings which offer the best prospect of longevity. At the other end of the scale come the general laborer, the tin miner, the hawker and the hotel servant, and about midway are the physician, the undertaker and the tobacconist. As compared with lawyers, Dr. Tatham records, medical men die more rapidly at every stage of life, while as compared with the clergy their mortality is enormously in excess.—London Daily Chronicle. Work Uplifts. All business and all work should lift up, and not hold down; it should make free, and not enslave: It should ennoble, and not degrade. It is as honorable to make shoes or anchors' as it is to paint pictures or write books. The shoemaker should learn the secret through his work of finding the sandals of manhood for his own feet. The blacksmith should learn, through the making of anchors for his great ships, to find the anchor that is to hold his own soul to the truth amid the storms of life—Rev, J. W. Lee, D. D. Where the "Good 'Uns" Are An American actor was once seeing London from the top of a 'bus. As they swung down the Strand he asked the driver to point out the places of interest "Right you are, sirl!" agreed the driver, touching his hat. "There's Luggit 'ill, where they 'ang 'em." A little later: "There's Parliament 'oues, where they make the laws wot does it, across the way. An' there's Westminster Habbey, where they buried the good us, wot didn't get 'anged!" Has Found River's Sources. Dr. Sven Hedin, the Swedish explorer, states that he has discovered the true sources of the Brahmaputra and Indus. The Brahmaputra, he says, is the Kubitsampso, which rises from an enormous glacier on the northern side of the northern-most parallel range of the Himalayas. The Mariumchu, which has hitherto been regarded as the source, is merely a small tributary flowing in from the west. Mahomet's Dove. Some of the older historians tell us that Mahomet had a dove which he used to feed with wheat out of his ear. When the dove was hungry it used to alight on the prophet's shoulder and thrust its bill into his ear to find its meal. Mahomet, it is said, thus led the Arabs to believe that the bird was a messenger from God with inspired truths for him. The Bad Fellows. As bad as the man who parts with you with a "Slong," twice as bad as the geek who shakes your hand and says, "Bye-bye, old man, don't take any wooden money, is the Bromide who greets you with a hand like a ham, and gleefully ejaculates "Howdy do; looks like the good old summer time, buh?"—Buffalo News. A. Dark Outlook. Beggs, Okla.. is said to be the place where a minister, marrying a negro couple, asked the woman: "Do you take this man for better or for worse?" She Interrupted by explaining: "No, judge. I wants him just as he is. If he gits any better he'll die and if he gits any worse I'll kill him myself." Not So Innocent. The Old Lady (as a group of small boys dash past her)—Ah, running races? Been reading about those Olympic games, no doubt. A Voice—Games be blowed! We've put a bad penny in a blind man's tin, an' he's after us. Tonnage of World Fleet The tonnage of the world's merchant shipping fleet, according to the latest returns, is 37,564,017 tons. Of this total no less than 81,744,904 tons represents steam shipping and 17,611,096 tons of the whole is under the British flag.

Washington, D. C If You Are a Young Doctor and Are On Hand When Needed. If you are a young doctor with all the requirements of a successful career except patients, you may find it pays to go to church. This is true, especially if you have a commanding appearance and are on the job when opportunity offers. One young doctor in Brooklyn found this to be true. He attached himself to a church with a large membership, and was assiduous in attending services. As he was good looking, his presence aroused remark, especially among the women members of the congregation. At the morning services on a recent Sunday, a woman who sat in a front pew near the pulpit fainted. There was a call for a doctor. The young man rose up in his place in a side pew, stalked majestically around to and down the centre aisle, and soon was administering to the sufferer in his best professional manner. It was a big feather in the young doctor's cap.—New York Sun. Portraits at Play: A remarkable photograph of half a dozen porpoises playing under water just ahead of the bow of a steamship travelling at the rate of 12 knots an hour, has been published by a correspondent of knowledge, Mr. C. H. Gale. Mr. Gale calls attention to the singular fact that the porpoises while easily maintaining their position ahead of the ship showed no apparent effort or motion of body, tall or fin. Yet he thinks that they were not carried along by movement of water in front of the vessel, because air bubbles were seen rushing from their backs, and the photograph shows the effects of these bubbles by the white streaks on the packs of the animals. Sometimes they rolled over sidewise, but they always maintained their position. Youth's Companion. Indian Courage. Katherline Beaulieu, a pupil of the Chilocco Indian School, Oklahoma, had her hand caught in the big steam mangle, and before the machine could be stopped the arm had beendragged in above the elbow. The physician was able to save the arm but in order to facilitate healing it was necessary to graft fifty pieces of skin over the wound. Volunteers were called for and the doctor reported several scrimmages among the other pupils for the privilege of being the first to contribute part of their epidermis.—From the Indian's Friend. European Stationery. Hotel stationery must be cheap in Europe. The envelopes are $6 \frac{1}{2}$ by 5 inches, and usually of some green or bluish tint, with an inch of heavy printing across the top. Frequently no place is left for the stamp. These receptacles are so wide that they arrive folded over a couple of inches, which reduces them to the size of the ordinary American commercial envelope. The Whole Alphabet. In the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artaxerxes the King, do make a decree to all the treasures which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily." More Terrible Than Cannon. A man was blown up by an automobile the other day and killed. He had fought through 60 battles in the civil war. After all in these days of the automobile one must acknowledge that peace has its perils no less than war.—Baltimore American. For Bait. Take water in which walnut hulls have soaked over night and pour it on a spot of ground. In a very few hours the fishing worms will come to the surface and can easily be procured for your expedition. Artists Models. There are in Europe 10,000 women and girls who earn a living as artists' models. It is strange to say that there are not ten among them who possess a perfect face and figure. Mme.

B.-Mention The Bee Electr. r. I Votes The candidate who carries the State either by majority or plurality, is given the electoral vote of the State. The "electors" being elected along with the rest of the ticket are, of course, counted for the winning party. But it is possible, and sometimes happens, that the electors in a given district may be elected by the opposition, in which case the electoral vote of the State is divided. Post Office Pens Mustard manufacturers grow rich, we are told, not by the quantity of mustard consumed, but by that which is wasted and left on the diners' plates. The saying is recalled by an interesting statement made by the Postmaster-General as to the number of pens supplied for use by the public in the post offices of the country. It seems that last year the total was 1,250,000. Naturalized on the Arm. An Italian went to the civil service commissioners' rooms to be examined for a laborer's position. He answered most of the questions correctly. Finally they asked him if he had ever been naturalized. He seemed a bit puzzled, but at last his face lighted up. "Ah, I know whata you mean. Scratcha de arm. Yes, lasta week." Nightingales Under a Ban It is said that no nightingales sing in Haverling. England. Legend has it that the singing of the birds disturbed the devotions of Edward the Confessor when at his Haverling palace, and he therefore placed them under a ban from which they have never recovered. Cement Walks. Why not more cement walks, porch approaches, etc. on farms? The farmer can put them down himself as cheap or cheaper than he can use lumber for the same purpose, and when once down they are there to stay. Oh, to lie a Patch! We would rather be only a Patch on the pants of Progress and be sat down on every hour in the day than be and old fogy and a fossil and go about disgrunted at ourselves because we didn't live in the world $00 years ago. Chance for Much Trouble. The Sultan of Turkey recently paid $400,000 for a diamond. If he doesn't wish to have trouble with his harem he will insist on using the stone himself.

Odessa.—Peter Kavulltch, an Aus- trlan mason, went mad here as the result of brooding over being forced to wall up tke daughter of the chief- irin of a Tartar tribe in the Caucasus ina living tomb. He was kidnapped in Baku a month ago, taken blind folded Into the mountains, compelled to build the wall, around the girl and then was turned ioose outside Baku, For a week he led a party of roldiers in a vain attempt to find the girl. The girl was condemned to death in the tomb because che eloped with one of her father's servants. She was engaged to the son of a wealthy ‘Tartar, and all preparations had been made for the wedding She was caught with the servant after a two days’ chase, and was tried at a family council, It was decided to bulld a wall around her and leave her to her fate, Kavulitch was kid- napped, and he was taken Into the mountains to find ‘the whole tribe drawn up to witness the living burial of the girl. The man protested against the work. but bis life was threatened unless he obeyed, The gir] was tled hand and foot to a stake.’ She Im- plored mercy, but her cries were un- heeded. A circle was drawn around her, and the mason was made to fol- low It with a wall two feet thick. The wall was raised a foot above the victim's head, and a small opening ‘was made for air. so that her suf- ferings might be prolonged. As ‘soon as his work was finished Kavu- Uteh. wos blindfolded again. He was set at Mberty with 100 ronbles In his proket. He came to, Odessa and went mad In the street.

Brooklyn.—Adolph Raad, who formerly lived at No, 110 Luquer street, was burled In Greenwood Cemetery, the coffin containing one- half of a loaf of rye bread, the other half of which had been buried with Mrs. Raad four years ago. The aged couple were born in Ludenbach, Ger- many. They purchased a farm in what 1s now Flatbush, and as the clty.gradually encroached upon thelr farm land they cut it up and sold It until they were soon able to retire comfortably. _ There 1s ah old German custom of making a wish whenever a fresh loaf of bread Is cut, On Septem- ber 7, 1904, Mrs. Raad had just made the customary wish, and was about to cut 2 loaf when she dropped dead. The husband cut the loaf and put half in his wife's cofln. The other half was preserved in a tin box, the nefghbors having been in- structed to put tt in his comin, FORTUNE FOR FAMILY OF SWINDLED MAN, ‘Restitution Puts Impoverished | Widow and Children In Affluence. | Galveston, Tex. — Mrs. George Overton and family of two sons and two daughters who have been eking out an existence on a small farm near Fort Lancaster, in Crockett County, have been presented with a thousand-acre ranch in Edward County, well stocked with cattle and $16,000 In cash, by.a former partner of the husband and father of the Overtons. George Overton, who died five years ago, was once a wealthy cattle- man of West Texas, but entered into a mining project with a man who swindled him out of his wealth and lands.

HIS YOUNG WIFE FINDS BODY Sclentist’s. Dying Memorandum to Be Added to the Data of Psychi- tie for Hie Dramatic and Specta cular Suicide. Cincinnatl.—Devation to science dominated Dr. J. J. Blair even in his resolution to die, and after drinking cyanide of potassium, he sat at bis desk and wrote a descrip- tHon of his sensations. He chron!- cled the phenomena of dying, a8 long .as he could direct his pen, as faithfully as those of any of the thousands of other cases in his medical experience.

Grundmann of Washington avenue, who was pro- nounced ‘out of danger from lock- Jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, described how he felt during hie illness. : “In diagnosing my own symptoms a week after the germs of tetanus had entered my blood, I thought I had the disease, but I was not sure,” said Dr. Grundmann. “One day, as I was stepping off a street car, it started permaturely and threw me on my knee on the street. A hole was tipped in my trousers, and a gash cut in the flesh of my knee, Into which earth from ‘the street was ground “It gave me no trouble, pained me very little and J gave it no fur- ther thought. About a week later I fornd that I had fever and ‘that the muscles of my neck pained me and were constricted. Next I ob- served spasmodic jerking of the liwbs, These I knew to be premoni- tory symptoms of lockjaw. “| was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistak- en, s0 I visited a physician and told hiry how I felt. He did not think seriously of the matter, and I be- Neved I might have been mistaken, but nevertheless 1 was worried, and when that night the symptoms grew more pronounced and became more perceptible I watched them all the more closely. “That night 1 got a real shock. [ observed a growing rigidity of the muscles of the jaws. If It kept on they would become locked beyond all hope of unlocking, them. “In one day I had 6,000 units, about a fluld ounce, of the serum injected. My jaws continued slow- ly to grow more rigid, but we fought the disease with the serum until at last we saw that we had the disease golng the other way, and we fought ft out. “The germs of tetanus may be in any manner of dirt, If you have a wound in your finger and go out into the garden and stick it into the fresh earth you stand a chance of getting lockjaw.”” RELZGION CAUSES NERVE CURES ee IN EVERY CASE. - Rev. Dr. MeWilllams of Cleveland Says No Case Has Been a Failure. Cleveland.—-The Rey. Dr. I. S. McWilliams, pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, this city, made public a statement, in which he de- clared that for several months he has had success In healing both the body and mind by religious influence. He set forth that he has wrought cures of serlous nervous ailments and dipsomanta. In not a single case, It was sald, has there been fail- ure. : “| havé wonderfully expanded my sphere of pastoral work by the use of religious therapeutics,” said Dr. MeWilliams. “I do not pretend to be a faith healer. Instead, I merely try to make the patient know the power of his mind. I have told all the sufferers who have come to me about the sub-conscious mind, 1 have told him this mind {s a reser- volr upon which he may draw. 1 lead the patlent to sce he has been battling against disease with only a traction of his force. “t have found that the patient best can reach the sub-consclous mind when the conscious mind is passive and quiescent. I Instruct the patient how to relax those mus- cles which have been drawn like the strings of an overtuned violln. When the sub-consclous mind is reached I suggest {deas to work against the disease. I would not dare to say } myself know all about this method of treatment; what I do know fs that It has wrought cures in every in- stance. The one man who was diffi- cult was a drunkard. I treated him twice before going on my" vacation, and I have heard he has taken only two glasses of beer since.” A BUFFER STRIP. Victoria Government- Sets Aside Land Along American Boundary. Victoria, B. C.—The provincial government has set aside a strip of land sixty feet wide along the inter-, national boundary.line, which will not be available for pre-emption, and on which a permanent reserve, extending to all mining rights, will be placed. This follows an arrange- ment with the United States govern- ment by the British Ambassador at Washington, Frequent trouble has been occasioned heretofore by the lack of this buffer strip in the arrest of criminals and {n the application of mining and other laws.

The girl held off through all those years, not because she did “not love the man more dearly than ever for his devotion, but from a feeling {t would not be right to let him sacrifice bis life to her, Mirtz- Wa persisted in his supplementary wooing, however, and at last the young woman accepted his assur- ‘ance he would be happler with her than without her, terrible though her affiiction was. So in the home of her cousin, No 1231 Gratan street, they were wed, and the bride- groom went back to Hannibal to at- tend to Imperative business, leaving his bride in the care of specialists. It was a pathetic marriage. Mirtz- wa, big and strong and young, knelt beside the chair in which the girl rat with dificulty. His arm, thick as many a man’s. leg, encircled her, and most of the time her head was on his shoulder. She was so weak that her responses were scarcely audible. All who saw her except, perhaps, Mirtzwa, thought her death only a question of weeks, If not days. The voice of the clergyman who per- formed the simple ceremony broke several times before the end of the service, and it was with much emo- tion In his tones that he wished the couple all happiness. With such a ghost of womanhood the bride, the conventional words sounded almost Mke mockery. . “Gus and I were engaged to be married before I fell and hurt my- self.” said Mrs.. Mirtzwa. “I lived In Oakwood and he lived in Hanni- bal, three miles away. I never knew what {t was to be !l, I had rosy cheeks and was strong, and full of fun, and Gus was a dig, strong ‘fellow, too, as he ts now. “One day I slipped on the Icy sidewalk and*my spine was Injured in some way, and I have been ever since as you see me, except that most of the time I cannot even sit up as T can now. ss “Gus wished to marry me right after I was hurt, but I refused. , I did not wish to burden him with an invalid, and to all his coaxing 1 would not consent. He sent me to St. Louls to see if I could be cured, but I seemed to get worse. When he came and saw how I looked he said I must marry him right away.” Mrs, Mirtzwa’s fingers plucked at the fringe of the shawl that covered her shoylders and her face sad- dened. “{ suppose I shouldn't have done it," she continued “A man so good as Gus deserves a wife who Is bet- ter than an Invalid. But I did think T was going to die; {t had been so lonely here without him. So T con- sented, and he hurried out and came back with the license and a minis- ter, and we were married here. I sat in this chair and he knelt beside me during the ceremony. “1 do hope I shall get well,” sald Mrs. Mirtzwa, as she gazed out of the window. : UNEARTHS HITTITE TEMPLE.

PHYSICIAN SAYS ELECTRIC CHAIR KILLS Dr. Irvine Declares Sing Sing Execu- tons Dispute Dr. Shrady’s Theory. Ossining, N. ¥.—Dr. R. T. Irvine. who was for seventeen years prison physician at Sing Sing, takes issue with Dr. George F. Shrady, who has been quoted as saying that there {s a doubt in the minds of scientific men as to whether a man shocked by electricity, as carried on by tha State in executions, really dies. Dr. Sbrady says the results of autopsies held on persons killed in this man- ner have not been convincing. Dr. Irvine, when told of the state- ments of Dr. Shrady, said: “I have been present and seen sixty-four per- sons put to death by electricity in this State, and there is no doubt In my mind whatsoeveer but what all those men were absolutely killed by the electric shock and that death fs Instantaneous. The changes pro- duced by the electric shock are such that resuscitation, in my opinion, Is absolutely impossible. The amount of fresh blood found fn the cranium in all of these sixty-four cases I have seen in itself would preclude any Possibility of saving a man. Then you have the patechial hemorrhages in the brain tissues. They change in the structure of the blood after the electrical shock. Any one of these, In my opinion, would prove fatal, but when you have them all in each and every case, as I have no- ticed In autopsies, death is, in my opinion, unquestionable.” . Coroner Shrady ts quoted as say- Ing: “I do not Insist that electrocu- tion, as now practiced, does not kill. ‘I only say that a scientific doubt ex- ists. If Mfe exists in the body and the apparent death is only suspend- ed animation, then the surgeon who examines the body kills that man In the autopsy and becomes the execu- ‘Honer.”” JURY MELTED. BY POEM OF BYRON. x Acquits Man Who Shot Wife After Listening to “Don Juan." > Chicago.— Quotations from Lord Byron’s “Don Juan,” read by his lawyer, brought about the acquittal of Martin Schleyer, on trial In Keno- sha, Wis., on a charge of shooting his wife. |" ‘The defense of Schleyer, as an- nounced by his attorneys, George W. Taylor and Calvin Stewart, was to have been the “unwritten law,” but when the case came up a plea of in- sanity was made, and the jury de- elded that Schleyer was insane when he shot the woman, but he had re- covered his sanity. The jury ac- quitted him. : Schleyer testified to his wife's conduct with a man whom he had shot at the time he shot her. When the case came to argument Taylor discussed legal points and emotional insanity. Stewart pafd no attention to the law, and not much to the evidence, but declared that Schleyer had beer Ilke the hero of Byron's poem. * While the jurymen brushed tears from thelr cheeks, Stewart read from “Don Juan,” and compared the character of Lambro, who had re- turned only to find. bis home and fireside wrecked and his children turned against him. District Attorney Baker had made a bitter arralgnment of Schleyer, Dut Stewart had reached the hearts of the jurors through Byron's poetry, Schleyer was formerly a promi- nent resident of Rochester, N. Y. FOUGHT DEVIL FISH. Diver Killed Monster After Terrific Submarthe Ducl. San Francisco.—Wrapped in the tentacles of a giant devil Osh, Martin Lund, a diver, fought for bis Ife in the hold of the wrecked steamer Pomona, which Iles In thirty feet of water In Fort Ross Cove, off the Marin County coast.

He began to chop frantically at the rubber-Ilke bonds and at the same time signalled to the barge above that he wished to ascend. Unable to free bimsIf in time two more tenacles twined about his neck. The efforts of the men on the surface to comply with his slgnal threatened to pull bis hel- met off and he was forced to signal them to desist. With only his left arm free he backed at the tenacles until they were partially erippied, but he was being drawn toward the deadly beak when he saw the outline of the devil fish's body. Plunging suddenly toward it he drove his knifé with all his force Into the head, repeating the blow until he had slashed ft into sections. The dying octopus tightened its ten- tacles until the diver was almost crushed in its embrace. Lund then cut himself free and was brought to the surface in a fainting condition. -Cornstalks for Water Mains.
