PROFESSOR WILLIAM. H. H. HART, A.M., L.L.M., FOUNDER Among the most beneficient agencies for aiding people to meet the dangers and losses of life, the foremost is life insurance. It comes like an angel from Heaven in sickness, sorrow, and death, to help wife and babes face the cold, hard, stern world. Professor William H. H. Hart has organized a splendid corporation under a strict and technical charter to meet this great benevolent need of the community and has opened the subscription books of the corporation for subscribers to take the issue of Preferred Stock in lots of ten shares for Twenty-five Dollars, payable in weekly installments of a dollar, or any part of a dollar, a week or all cash at the option of the subscriber . It is desired to place this stock in the hands of he people for whom the corporation was created. One hundred thousand shares of preferred stock at the selling price of Two Dollars and Fifty Cents each are now ready to be distributed among the people; all the people, upin the principles of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Justice, Peace and Progress, the great American Principles of social and civil and political development. Not less than ten shares as any one wants will be supplied on weekly installments, payments for the same, or on cash payments at the option of the subscriber. This preferred stock will thus furnish a safe and profitable investment ```markdown ``` of little savings that would otherwise be practically thrown away and will return to the subscriber his or her cash savings with added dividends in the future. Professor Hart, who is the President of this great new corporation, wants ten thousand canvassing agents to go out and sell this preferred stock to the people at a good profitable commission. This is easy work which any honest and intelligent person can do at a great profit. Men and women and young people, colored and white, working through the day, or only after office hours, out in the streets, avenues, courts, and alleys among strangers, or in their own neighborhood or school or church or fraternity or among acquaintances and friends, can earn lots of money in this work. A young married colored lady, after caring for her family and remaining home Mondays and Saturdays, is making from sixteen to thirty dollars a week by selling this preferred stock. Everybody can help the good work and earn considerable money on the side by becoming an agent and placing the little subscription books, which look like little bank books, among the people. Policemen, mail carriers, clerks, school teachers, lawyers, husksters, grocery keepers, druggists, physicians, charity workers, teachers, ministers of the gospel, school girls and boys, barbers, laborers, waiters, all, everybody has his or her circle of friends and influence, can earn lots of money in this way and are invited by Professor Hart to join him in this great community work. Call at the office of the company, at number 420, on 5th street, northwest, between the hours of ten o'clock A.M. and four o'clock P.M. PROTEST AT MASS MEETING A mass meeting, which had as an object the promotion of the Christian Endeavor cause among the Negro churches of Washington, was held in the Shiloh Baptist Church, L and Sixteenth street, recently. An address outlining the ambitious programme of extension which the society has adopted, and inspiring the assembly with the crusading spirit, was made by William Shaw, general secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. His subject was "Christian Endeavor as I see it." He told of the progress made in other cities. Rev. Frederick D. Powers, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, and counselor of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union, told the story of progress and enlargement from another point of view. "Why Christian Endeavor has gone forward," was his subject. He spoke of its career in Washington, and traced its great influence as a spiritual force. He believes a new era of religious activity is about to dawn. Rev. J. Milton Waldron welcomed the assembly on the part of Shiloh Baptist Church, and Rev. L. S. Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, delivered a sermon on "A message from our Father." Prayer was led by Rev. Lewis B. Moore, pastor of the People's Congregational Church, and the benediction was given by Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. A collection was taken, which will be devoted to the launching of the movement among Negro Churches. THE KEYSTONE GRAND CHAPTER The Keystone Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, of the Southern and Western Jurisdiction, was organized March, 1905, by Honorable John G. Jones, 33rd Royal Grand Patron of the Supreme Brand Chapter, with authority to organize the Keystone Grand Chapter, with her three subordinates. On April 30, last, we celebrated our fourth anniversary in honor of Honorable, John G. Jones and Mrs. S. Hopkins, Royal Grand Matron. Quite a number of visitors were present. Among them were many Master Masonis. Sister Lucindia Robinson, Chairman of the Committee on Reception, should be given great credit for conducting everything so nicely. Many spoke of her work during the celebration. We are thankful that we are able to care for the sick and aid the distressed. In answer to many letters of inquiry concerning a recent decision of the District Supreme Court, we wish to state that Honorable John G. Jones did not, and never did have any thing to do with it. His work has been among the Scottish Rite. Daughters of Sphinx and Eastern Star Chapters of the Southern, and Western Jurisdiction. These chapters meet regularly in O street Armory between 7th and 8th streets, northwest. Brother John M. Washington, one of the oldest Masons in Washington, delivered a great address to the Grand Chapter with which he is connected. FIRST MEETING The first formal meeting of the Brownsville court of inquiry, which is to determine which soldiers and non-commissioned officers of the 25th Regiment of Infantry, discharged as a result of the "shooting up" of Brownsville the night of August 13-14, 1906, are qualified for re-enlistment in the army, was held last Tuesday. The meeting was secret. At its close it was announced that before hearing, any witnesses a thorough analysis is to be made of the 5,000 pages of testimony before the Senate committee, which made a very exhaustive investigation of the whole subject. It is estimated that this will take about two months. Lieutenant General S. B.M. Young, retired, is the president of the court and Captain Howland the recorder. The court is established in commodious quarters at 1703 New York avenue. PARAGRAPHIC PARAGRAPHIC Reports were received here Monday last that Theodore Roosevelt had caught one more lion, which gives him a total of three lions and one lioness on the present expedition. Smallpox has broken out extensively in the ravaged districts of Turkey, and it is said that an epidemic is feared. The death of Mrs. Ellen L. Preston, wife of Mr. Robert E. Preston, former director of the Mint, was wholly unexpected. The funeral services were held last Tuesday morning from her late residence. It took the House the short time of twenty minutes to meet and transact its business, last Monday. We have received the report of the Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, which was held in Baltimore, Maryland, August 19, 20 and 21, 1908. It is not only filled with matter interesting to its members but to the general public also. We see by The Eye that the Afro-American Metropolitan Women's Business Club, of Brooklyn, New York, are preparing to build a hall, which will be a monument to them. P. W. Scales, of the "Trip to Coon Town Company," died April 18th at Berlin. Lawyer Thomas L. Jones will address the graduating class of the High School, Frederick City, Maryland, May 14. Foster Udell, well known as the apple king of New York, died in Brockport last week. Dr. Manual Amador, the first president of the Republic of Panama, died last Sunday afternoon after a lingering illness, at the age of seventy-five years. We see by the Philadelphia Tribune, that when William H. Luden, a manufacturing confectioner of Reading, celebrated his fiftieth birthday anniversary and thirtieth business anniversay, he distributed $18,000 among his employees. Th Frederick Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was dedicated the latter part of April is now open for inspection. The building is magnificent. Rev. Mrs. Rachel T. Mitchell, the well known evangelist, and who is pastor of Zion Temple Church of Christ, Memphis, Tennessee, baptized thirty-seven converts last Sunday. Mrs. Marion Longfellow O'Donoghue, the neice of the poet Longfellow, lectured last Monday on his life work, and of his home. A prominent audience filled the public library. Monsignor-Farrelly, the bishop of Cleveland, was received in a private farewell audience by the Pope this week. An unusual sentence was served in the State-penitentiary at Louisiana last Monday, when Elenore Williams, colored, was sentenced to one hour's imprisonment for involuntary man-slaughter. While former Representative J. W. Babcock, of Wisconsin, left in his will only $1.00 of his estate to his adopted daughter, he leaves to his cook $10,000. Mr. Dolliver and Mr. Aldrich, two Senators, had a clash in the Senate this week. The President has appointed Oscar Straus, of New York, as United States Ambassador to Turkey. The Twentieth Century Club has forwarded to the District Commissioners a copy of a resolution, requesting the enactment of a police regulation compelling contractors to supply covered receptacles for waste paper thrown away by workmen. The President has informed the Baltimore Presbytery that he will not be present at the ceremonies to be held at Gettysburg, Sunday, May 30. Rev. M. C. Maxwell, D.D., of this city, preached at the Clinton Metropolitan Church, Charlotte, North Carolina, not many Sundays ago. Aunt Mary Lee, who died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Caroline Smith, 1242 1st street, was one of this city's oldest citizens, being nearly 125 years old.

THE HOWARD-WILBERFORCE DEBATE On last Monday evening the debating teams from Howard and Wilberforce Universities, met each other and the former went down to honorable defeat. The subject discussed was, "Resolved: that the closed shop promotes the interests of the wage-earning class, better than the open shop." The Howard debaters upheld the affirmative while the Wilberforce debaters upheld the negative. The Howard debaters showed clearly their mastery of the subject, and besides showed that they had studied their question thoroughly. Mr. E. M. Pollard opened the discussion for Howard and clearly set forth the issues and arguments of his colleagues. Mr. G. F. Oldham, the second speaker for Howard, put forth evidence in every utterance. Mr. J. M. Jackson, the last speaker for Howard, spoke with great force and his argument brought forth great applause. The speakers for Wilberforce were Messrs. L. F. Palmer, C. W. A. Davis and S. H. Savage. After the judges retired to consider the winner, the audience was undivided in its opinion, for every one thought that Howard had won in a walkover, which of course was true, but the judges thought differently and decided in favor of Wilberforce, to the great astonishment of the audience. Even the Wilberforce debaters showed great surprise. Of the three judges, only one took notes on the debate, which shows clearly that the arguments could not have been weighed, for no one could remember the arguments and rebuttals of six speakers. W. Calvin Chase, Jr. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD The Progressive Afro-American in speaking of the undertaking of Dr. Shepard says: "This enterprise which Dr. Shepard has in hand, appeals to us by every consideration of religion, education and better life for the race, for which we do not hesitate to say, as has been often indicated before, we have great sympathy in its unequal struggle. IS THE NEGRO OF ANY IMPORTANCE TO THE WHITE? From the Washington Times The welfare of the white residents of the District of Columbia is inseparably bound up in the welfare of the colored residents. Every act of lawlessness the black neighbor commits, every unsanitary dwelling he tenants, every day of idleness he lives, comes back ultimately as a charge against the white people. If we whites do not realize that, we are as blind as moles to our own welfare. What the colored people need just now is this-practical training and incentive. They have opportunity enough for general education. There are enough smart Alecks among their young people. But it is the experience of every white householder and business man that there are far from enough colored cooks, housemaids, nurses, seamstresses, cobblers, carpenters, bricklayers, chair-caners and generally dependable workmen. Under white leadership a Colored Social Settlement has been founded for teaching along these particular lines. Seven years it has been doing excellent work at 116-118 M street, southwest. Now it is moving from those buildings—altogether inadequate even to the degree of having no water supply—to a building of sixteen rooms specially planned. The cost of the new quarters will be $6,000, of which $1,000 will go for equipment. There must be raised also $200 per month for running expenses. Is it worth anything to the white people to provide the greater part of this money? Surely it is. Surely it is a work so practical and touching them so closely that they are mainly responsible, with their larger means, for continuing and supervising it. If it and other similar endeavors are allowed to fail, not only will the discredit belong mainly with the whites, but they will share uncomfortably in the penalty. AT THE GATE There came to the gate of the City of Angels A soul let loose from earth's many cares; And asked the keeper of that Golden Causeway If he was the one who collected the fares. The eyes of the stranger were so sad and pathetic, His outward garments so threadbare and thin: That St. Peter looked at the pilgrim in sadness, And asked the reasons, he should come in. "What credentials doth thou bring to claim admittance; What hath thou done for the Great, Good Cause? Hath thou always loved thy fellowman? "I ame from the land called the white man's country, My home in that land was in a Negro's breast, And having such a habitation Entitled one not to the things loved best." "My master was the proud Anglo- Saxon, A mixture of Italian, German and Greek, That flaunted themselves o'er that fair country Till the Negro loves this home to seek." "My hours of toil were long and sadly dreary— My times of peace and pleasure few: So many hardship beset my pathway I made up my mind to look for you." Thus spoke the dark face to the face that was lighter, The keeper of the gate at that Golden Inn: St. Peter replied to the weary pilgrim, "You are a Negro but I'll let you in." —T.

Three lions were killed near Piet- ecaburg, Transvaal by the ninetesa- year-old sen of Jozef Erasmus, & Beer farmer.

Erasmus seized his gun and ran bard im the direction indicated.. On his arrival at the spot he found tke Wlons lying around one of the don- keys, He fred and kitled a dig Moness, The other two jumped up but ke was ready and shot another (younger) Ifoness. The young lon which was left ran behind some brushweod, Erasmus first collected \bis donkeys and brought them inte safety und then once more carefully mpproached the scene of the fight im order to find out if the two ljon- exses were doad he fired another sho! atone of them. This disturbed the surviving Hon who thereupon came forth roaring.

PEN ee How the Smooth.Demonstrator Gets His Victim's Coln. "One of the latest schemes of the counterfeit money swindlers is to show guillible people a machine with which they can print for themselves large size bills, imitative of Government currency," said Capt. S. F. Rhodes, formerly of the secret service. "This money producing machine has a smooth demonstrator who will, after getting a prospective victim interested, turn the crank and grind out a $20 note, which, it is needless to say, is genuine. The victim shows the bill to a bank cashier, and hears it pronounced good, and his mercenary nature being aroused, he sees visions of gigantic wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharper $500, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rockefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his best money. The Swaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall or an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily swayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the horrified expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solemnity, if the boss is not around that the swaying of the frames is due to the oscillation of the structure. It usually takes some time for the object of the joke to see the point. Meanwhile he has suffered a considerable shock. M. Y. World.

Tropes big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the papybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copu rat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great ant bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabiru, a stork with a preference for the desolate lagoons, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prospection.—Scotsman. The Gingko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil flora of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which it is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil specimens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oollite series, at Bora, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the calls reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Plalter Skirts. Plaited Skirts which have been washed are difficult to press. Time and expense may be saved by having the work done after the following method, which is so.olen skirts especially; Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a hasting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each lest can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Balzac in Church Pew. The woman who had left a volume of Balzac in the church pew on prayer meeting night felt a little bit ashamed when she asked for the book, but the sexton assured her she need not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them are a whole lot less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a strange grist of forgotten or discarded articles." A Clever Bear. A noted ethnologist observed in Vienna a bear deliberately making with his paw, a current in some water which was close to the bars of his edge so as to draw a piece of floating bread within his reach. These actions of the bear could hardly be attributed to instinct or inherited habit, as they would be of little use to an animal in a state of nature. Quill Teothicks. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 20,000,000 quills. The factory was started to make quill pens, but when these went out of general use it was converted into a toothpick mill. A Beautifu Hair Dressing and Tonic for the Hair!

There are many instances of hypothetical reasoning in every department where the mind predominates over matter. The truest deductions follow reasoning that is based upon an hypothesis. The best and wisest men, in going from cause to effect, calculate from an hypothesis. There is optimism in this reasoning. The pessimist always demands a tangible form, and is pleased best when that tangible form is a repellant one. An optimist accepts the bright colors of the rainbow as an hypothesis for predicting a fair day for tomorrow. Dr. Booker T. Washington is one of these optimists who reason from an hypothesis, even an abstract one, and feels justified in so doing. In his letter appearing in the last issue of the Outlook, in which he speaks of his trip through South Carolina, he states that at every place he found at least one white man who respected some one Negro, and at least one Negro who had confidence in some one white man, and then adds that this is encouraging. When a man is so full of the milk of human kindness, so possessed with hope, so confident in the belief that harmonious relations between the two races will ultimately be realized, and that race adjustment is assured that he can assume that because one white man, in thousands, and one Negro, in thousands, are blessed with mutual respect and conidence the future is roseate with hope for the race, it evidences an optimism worthy of emulation. There are three things that make Dr. Washington great—his honesty of purpose, his resoluteness of effort, and his optimism. His is an optimism that permits of an hypothetical basis. And if you stop to consider it will dawn upon you that everything great achieved since the birth of man, whether in science, art or literature, was the result of reasoning from an hypothesis. THE "NEGRO'S" FRIEND Mr. Taft, in the beginning of his administration as President, expressed himself, in plain terms, as the friend of the oppressed. It's very nice to have our prominent men visit the President and converse with him on all topics, but it is hardly necessary for every man to put himself on record, after seeing the Chief Executive, by saying he is the "friend of the Negro." If some of the many who have called at the White House fails to obtain a coveted prize, we are of the opinion that there may be started a rumor that Mr. Taft is not the friend of the Negro. Discretion should be used and the proper interpretation given to what is meant by the expres- sion "the friend of the Negro." A friend of the individual is a very different thing, and the administration may be uncharitably criticised by persons who fail to make the correct distinction. To be the friend of the Negro is to suggest and maintain the very same principles which apply and are applied, to other citizens of the United tates Government. President Taft is the Negro's friend because the Negro is a citizen, and not because of the color of his skin, nor his previous condition has any bearing on the matter. The time is at hand when greater stress must be put on the qualities of good citizenship, and less on minor things. We have been so educated, in fact we have so educated ourselves, as to act and feel that the descendants of American slavery differ from the other people, and every thing which is accorded to us in the way of advancement is done because we are the inferiorors of the more fortunate. Our prominent men might discuss the "sheep and wool industry;" the importance of uniting with other citizens in making this country all that it is possible to be, when they have the opportunity of seeing the President. To have Mr. Taft say to every colored man who is given an audience; "I am the Negro's friend," seems utterly useless, since his first declaration was so plain and manly. NEGRO MASONS' OUTING It is reported that the committee acting for the colored Masons of Washington, have entered into a contract with the managers of a resort down the Potomac, that has heretofore discriminated against, colored people, to have their annual outing at their resort, a resort which the whites have abandoned. It is further reported that said committee has entered into a contract with the managers of a white boat to convey the Masons to the point in question. This was done with the full knowledge that Washington Park is conducted by a Negro, Mr. Lewis Jefferson, and that the Jane Moseley and the River Queen are two boats run by a colored man, Mr. Lewis Jefferson. When it is considered that this committee could have secured the same reasonable concessions from Mr. Jefferson and when it is considered that the point to which they now intend going has a jim crow wharf we wonder what self-respecting Negroes will attend. We wonder if prominent Negroes who will be billed as speakers will appear on the scene? The whole transaction smacks of traitors to the race. THE SHEPHERD One of the most impressive ceremonies in the history of the Capitol of the nation, was the unveiling of the statue of the late Alexander Robey Shepherd.. To some, not acquainted with the circumstances which were the foundation stones of our beautiful city, there may arise some curiosity, but to those who are in possession of all the facts, the occasion of the unveiling refreshes the memory and brings forth words of praise. Mr. Shepherd labored hard to make our city second to none, and that position is accorded by persons who have the opportunity of visiting us. In all these years the handiwork of Mr. Shepherd has been plainly visible. He endeared himself to the citizens, and there is no honor that may be done, too great to perpetuate his memory. The statue which has been placed in front of the District Building, and was unveiled last Monday, is bronze, and is a fine representation of the former Governor of the District of Columbia. MR. LEWIS JEFFERSON The readers of The Bee need not be told that the season for outings is here. We know also that the public will be pleased to know that Mr. Lewis Jefferson will do all that is possible to make it pleasant for all who favor him with their patronage. Mr. Jefferson made it possible and possible for the enjoyment of of our people, when all other avenues were closed. He deserves the support of all who seek pleasure on the placid Potomac. Washington Park offers great inducements when there is a desire to flee from the city for a day, or evening. It gives us pleasure to call the attention of churches, -societies, and select parties to the advertisement of Mr. Jefferson which will be seen on another page of this paper. GOOD PROMOTERS The friendly feeling which is being caused by the annual debates between Howard University and schools of other sections, can only be productive of much good. The students are helped by the bit of rivalry in these public discussions of topics bearing on the general good of the people. The inspiration is great and will prove the stepping stones to greater usefulness and honor. It seems incredible that a wireless message may be sent and a reply received, between New York and Chicago in nine minutes, and yet such was done the early part of this week. REV. DR. WELCH Great is the sympathy expressed for Dr. Weich, who was stricken with paralysis while attending Conference. He has suffered much, and notwithstanding the fact that The Bee is sorely afflicted on account of the illness of its head; it extends its sympathies to the family of Dr. Welch, and to the church over which he has so graciously presided and to which he has endeard himself. THE LAW IS APPEALED From the St. Louis Advance The Federal Court of Appeals will be required to pass upon the validity of the "jim crow" railroad regulations of Oklahoma. The case of E. P. McCabe and three other Negro residents of Oklahoma against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the St. Louis and San Francisco, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and the Fort Smith and Western railroad companies were filed a few days ago in the office of the federal court of appeals in this city, on an appeal from the United States Circuit Court of Oklahoma. In the lower court, a demurrer against the petition of the railroad companies was sustained and the petition was dismissed. The petitioners, who asked that the railroads be restrained from enforcing the jim crow provisions, said that provisions would interfere with the civil rights of 50,000 Negroes in Oklahoma by providing inferior accommodations on trains and at stations. GOOD STANDING From the Cumberland Alleghanian Does the fact that Senator Tillman is now in good standing at the White House mean that Taft intends to abolish the Annanias Club? ALUMNI TO BANQUET At a meeting of the local Howard University Alumni Association, it was decided to give a banquet in the near future, on which occasion President Thirkield of Howard, would be the invited guest of honor. NOTICE The Honorable Roscoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of the Public Schools, will address the "Howard Park Citizens' Association," Monday evening, May 10, 1909, 8 p.m., at the Church of Our Redeemer, 8th street, above Florida avenue, northwest. Subject: "What the Public Schools are actually doing in the moral education of our children." Honorable James F. Oyster, President of the Board of Education, and others, will be present. The public is cordially invited to attend. Chairman, Committee on Publicity. SUGAR MAKE YOU GROW. Americans and Britons .Increasing in Height and Weight. English and American girls just reaching womanhood, and the next generation in its early teens, are unusually tall, standing a head or more above their mothers. This has been remarked on over and over again, and has been the subject of learned disquisitions. Yet no generally accepted cause for the fact has been given up to this time. Now comes a London physician of note and says that it is simply a case of lengthened sweetness. By "sweetness" in this particular case the nature of the young ladies is not referred to, but their diet. In fact, statistics of recent years show that Americans and Britons of both sexes are increasing in height and weight. Why? The physician referred to says it is sugar. Great Britains and Americans are the sugar eating nations of the world and have quadrupled their saccharine consumption in the last score of years. This is now the best explanation of an accepted fact, and it will have to stand until a better one comes along.-London Tit-Bits. Spotting Smokeless Powder. German military authorities are experimenting with a device by which the location of troops using smokeless powder may be easily discovered. By this device it is proposed to survey the landscape through pale red glasses. The flash of smokeless powder appears strong in red light, while ordinary objects are dimmed. By furnishing field glasses with the device in question, which I. provided with screens of the proper tint, the position of concealed marksmen can be detected. Washington Herald. Girls Allowances Parents should give their girls an allowance, however small, from their earliest years. To learn economy it is necessary to spend, and how can one spend what one has not got? Keeping accounts is an admirable practice, though the great Dr. Johnson scoffed at it. You won't eat less beef to-day," he said, "because you have written down what it cost you yesterday."—Lady Violet Greville in Black and White. Women Detectives. In Paris, shoplifting has become a fine art, consequently watching has had to become a fine art also, and the Parisian shopkeepers are finding that it pays them to employ proper women detectives to watch their stock, so now every house of importance has its own woman detective.—Woman's Life. An Ancient Robe. The robe which John Wesley wore when he was christened over 200 years ago is now the property of Miss Emily Pashley of Worksop, England, it having come to her from her grandfather at whose house Wesley-lived for a time when but an infant.

Prop THE WINDOW SILL MIRROR Rarely Seen in New York But Plenitiful in Philadelphia. Every once in a while you see one of them in New York but not often. They're commoner in Brooklyn, but are nowhere seen in the profusion that you find them in Philadelphia. Meaning of course, those mirror devices people have on the sills of the second floor windows to give a tip on who is coming up the street or down the street, or more important, who is at the front door. They strike the average observer as rather provincial in idea because he thinks instinctively of the shut in person who's only pleasure is in seeing who's on the street. But they're very helpful in telling when a caller is getting near, so that the woman of the house has time to make a hurried toilet and be calmly waiting in her very best when the visitor comes in. Also, they give a chance to sound the not at home warning to the servants.—New York Sun. Some Valuable Stones The Emperor Francis Joseph owns the Florentine, which has an eventful history. To the King of Portugal belongs the Star of the South, valued at £3,000,000; while in the Russian sceptre is the Orlof which once adorned a Brahmin idol, says Home Chat. Such stones as these are so large that they are practically unsalable. No one person is rich enough to purchase them. Again the expense of cutting is enormous. The Cullinan diamond will require at least £10,000 to be spent on it for this alone. Even then, the gem now 3,024 carats, will weigh some 1,200 carats, while the sections cut away will themselves form valuable stones, ranging from twenty carats downward. Singing Pigeons The queer Chinese change pigeons into song-birds by fastening whistles to their breasts. The wind of their flight then causes a wierd and plaintive music that is seldom silenced in the pigeon-haunted cities of Pekin and Canton. The Belgians, great pigeon-flyers, fasten whistles beneath the wings of the valuable racing carriers, asserting that the shrill noise is a sure protection against hawks and other birds of prey. As a similar protection, reeds, emitting an odd walling sound, are fixed to the tall feathers of the dispatch-bearing pigeons of the German army, For the Knocker. A new method by which the audience at a theatre can show its approval or disapproval of a play without disturbing the performance is being introduced by the Italian dramatist, Traversi. Before leaving the theatre every person is to drop a ticket into one of three boxes marked "good," "indifferent," and "bad." A Fine Distinction. While a small boy was fishing one Sunday morning he accidentally lost his foothold and tumbled into the creek. As an old man on the bank was helping him out, he said: "How did you come to fall into the river, my little man?" "I didn't come to fall into the river. I came to fish," replied the boy.—The Argonaut. The Languages. According to Mulhall's estimates 130,000,000 persons speak English, and 84,000,000 German. Russian is spoken by upwards of 85,000,000, but these numbers are far exceeded by the 360,000,000 to 400,000,000 Chinese and 140,000,000 or more Hindustani. Shoo Fly! You can put a mat in front of every plate but you can't make a fly wipe his feet before he walks on your food. The only safe course with regard to the fly is to exclude him from the house. A Heavy Penalty. The London Express mentions the case of a private who for failing to recognize and salute his officer was condemned to march past and salute a barrack pump for two hours each day for a week. Trade Unions in Germany. Germany's trades unions number about 2,215,000 members, which is 25 per cent of the total strength of the labor organizations of the civilized world. Irish Linen. The linen industry is the greatest manufacturing industry Ireland possesses. There is invested in it something like 115,500,000, and it gives employment to 70,000 people. Large Apple Tree. What is reported to be the largest apple tree in the United States is at Southington, Conn. It yields 50 bushels. Fish Candles.

Nothing in the navigation equipment of a ship has been the subject of more anxious scientific research or receives more jealous care than the mariner's compass. The popular notion of the compass needle always pointing north and south is—well, more inaccurate than even popular notions usually are. No more unfavorable position could be found for a compass than on board of a modern steamship, which is a complicated mass of steel, all tending to draw the compass needle from its allegiance to the magnetic pole of the earth, warring influences which must needs be counteracted by all sorts of devices which hedge round the instrument by an invisible wall of conflicting currents of magnetism. And as if this were not enough, there are now huge dyamos to be reckoned with, producing electric currents for all sorts of purposes on board. In the midst of these mystic currents the poor little company needle, upon which the mariner depends for his guide across the trackless deep, hangs suspended like one shrinking saint surrounded by legions of devils.—Windsor Magazine. The Speed of Steamships. The immense advances recently made in the power and speed of transatlantic steamships have not yet, in the opinion of Mr. J. J. O'Nell, a Scotch engineer, been carried to the limit. Addressing the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland, Mr. O'Nell said that the lengths of the present liners warrant the belief that greater power can be obtained with the same dimensions, the present speeds with shorter lengths. Investigation shows that the variations of form involve relatively small gains, and Mr. O'Nell thinks that if the same attention had been devoted to the development of of the screw propeller that has been given to the form of vessels greater advantages would have been secured. — Youth's Companion. A' Club for Dandy Dogs There has just been opened in one of London's fashionable streets toilet club for dogs. Here the pets of the smart set can have their hair dressed and their coats trimmed to immaculate perfection. For three shillings they can be bathed. If their teeth are imperfect they can be st opped or extracted, and if their claws protrude too far they can be dainfully manicured. Thus groomed according to the Mayfair mode, their coats put on, and their goggles attached, these exquisite creatures are taken for their afternoon ride.—London Tilt-Bits. Long Terma in Supreme Court. Few members of the Supreme Court have exceeded the time Justice Harlan has served—thirty years. Justice Fleld served about thirty-five years, Chief Justice Marshall about thirty-four and a half years. Justice Bushford Washington, thirty-one years, and Justice John McLean, thirty-two years. Wise Horses. A writer in the London Daily News, giving some experience during dense fogs, says he was once in a bus which stopped suddenly on Waterloo Bridge in a fog. The driver urged the horses to move, but they would not, and when the conductor went to investigate, he found them looking over the parapet. Silence the Healer. The value of silence as a factor in healing cannot be over estimated, and, apart from consideration of health, it is a well-known truism that the one who talks the least usually accomplishes the most—Health Record. Automatic Cornet. The increasing popularity of the self-playing piano has induced inventors to extend this style of music to other instruments. The most recent is an automatic sheet music cornet, patented by a Chicago man. Like the piano, the music is on a perforated roll.

THE BLACK POLITICIAN "The Black Politician" is a new comedy drama with music which "The Smart Set," the best and most fully equipped theatrical organization offers this season. It is in three acts, and was written by S. B. Cassin. S. H. Dudley, a comedian of exceptional skill and versatility, is at the head of this sterling troupe, and as Hezekiah Doo, a politician pro tem, is certainly irresistible. He has a role that is brimful of opportunities for evoking healthy laughter, and Mr. Dudley does it ample justice. The production is bright, witty and tuneful from stat to finish. The supporting cast is composed of fifty people chosen both for looks and ability, half of which is a fascinating beauty chorus of dashing and prancing girls who wear magnificent gowns with queenly grace. The scenic embellishment is superfine, all brand new this season and especially painted for the production. There is also a carload of accessories and settings of a most elaborate character. The song hits are numerous and catchy in a high degree, such as will be whistled everywhere: This big attraction will be seen at the Lyceum Theatre the week of May 10, and if the advance sale of tickets is any criterion, this well known troupe will play one of the banner engagements of the year. All the old favorites have been retained, including Jerry Mills, and Irving Allen, two adroit colored artists who will fill important parts in the comedy: Netty Glynn, Jenie Pearl, etc. The usual matinees will be given daily. THE MEET Annual Championship Meet of the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association, will be held Monday, May 31st., 1909, at 2 p. m., on the Howard University Campus, Washington, District of Columbia, and any one representing a school, college, or club, can obtain the official entry blank from Mr. E.

Ceylon the Only Part of the World Where They Exist. What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a herd of African elephants—all tuskers! It is a singular thing that Ceylon is the only part of the world where the male elephants have no tusks; they have miserable little grubbers projecting two or three inches from the upper jaw and inclining downward. Nothing produces either ivory or horn in fine specimens throughout Ceylon. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads, they will not bear a comparison with those of other countries. The horns of the native cattle are not above four inches in length. The elk and the spotted deers antlers are small compared with deer of their size in India. This is more singular, as it is evident from the geological formaton that at some remote period Ceylon was not an island, but formed a portion of the main land. It is thought there must be elements wanting in the Ceylon pasturage for the formation of ivory.—Ceylon Manual. Smokeless Coal. A London inventor claims to have discovered a process for producing smokeless coal, apparently by distillation of coal at a low temperature. This, after distillation, is said to deposit a very brilliant substance, the heating properties of which are far greater than those of the original coal, and which is absolutely free from smoke and dirt. The inventor contends that efforts to overcome the smoke plague have hitherto been unsuccessful because they have been made in the wrong direction, and that by the extraction of the smoke-producing material in coal before being burned, he has been successful in producing a smokeless coal. Electrocuting Animals. The slaughter of animals for food by electrocution is being experimented by Dr. Leduc, a French scientist, who has been conducting his investigations in the French abbattoirs. He has been using the intermittent low tension currents and says that he is satisfied that the system is painless, the central functions of perception being first destroyed and then those of circulation and respiration so that there is neither suffering nor reaction in the animals thus killed. The doctor is endeavoring to devise some piece of apparatus by which the killing of cattle may be accomplished by electricity with economy and celery. The Shy Man. Women show no mercy to the shy man, for he stands outside of the compass of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently cured. But he cannot. He has been bro ght up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his soul the spirit of diffuse holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakli s, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mile o his lips.—London Observer. Hanging Pictures Dangerous. "Railroad casualties receive such wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common belief on the part of the public that one is more liable to accidents while traveling than when living the simple life in the confines of his home. "As a matter of cold fact, statistics show that accident insurance companies pay more money to people who get hurt hanging pictures or taking stoves apart than they do to the victims of head-on collisions. It sounds strange, but it's the truth." —Kansas City Journal. Three Men to Move Book. There lies in the British Museum the largest book yet printed. colossal atlas of engraved ancient Dutch maps. It takes three men to move it from the giant book case in which it is stored in the library of the museum. It is bound in leather, magnificently decorated, and is fastened with clasps of solid silver, richly gilt. It is nearly seven feet high and weighs 800 pounds and was presented to King Charles II. before he left Holland in the year 1660. Valuable East African Forest. The Colonial Office recently sent out an expert to report on the Kenya forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 287 miles long by eight miles broad, and comprises 1,000,900 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 2½d. per cubic foot, this works out to £23 per acre, or a total value for the whole forest of £23,000,000—London Tit-Bits. Dead Historians. I for my part believe in the dead historians. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on this subject. There is an idea in some minds that a book on history to be good must be new. In nine cases out of ten the new book is a common-place re-statement of facts that were better presented by an older writer.—The Sphere. A Man and a Woman. A man's idea of being stylishly dressed is to wear something in which he looks atrociously bad; he demands to wear something no other woman can duplicate. WITH THE "BREAD LINE" A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. THE BOWERY MISSION At this Place and at Fleischmann's May Be Found the Men in Actual Need—It is the Aim of These Places to Send Away No Hungry Person. The two poligemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bowery as I approached them looked me over when they saw 'was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the cont' I had borrowed for the evening was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were let waterproof. If my abject poverty was assumed, I felt a semblance of the real thing, for I was cold and tired after tramping up and down two muddy streets for an hour. "Where kna a feller git a cup o coffee 'r a handout?" I asked. One of the officers smiled affably. "Two doors up," he said, indicating one of the numerous five and ten-cent feeding places, of which there are one or two in every block in this neighborhood. "I didn't mean that kind," I replied "I've got to find a place where there ain't a price on the 'grub.'" "I guess the bread line at Fleischmann's or the Bowery Mission's the only place, then, Jack," said the officer as he turned his back on me. So a slouched along to 55 Bowery, where a sign in the window, reading, "Bowery Mission—Services Every Evening," indicated that I had found the right place. I looked in the door. The big room, filled with chairs, was diml; lighted, and on the platform at the far end, a man was moving some chairs around. "Nothin' doin' yet, bo." said a rough-looking fellow. "They don't give me no grub until 1 o'clock." This was disheartening, or would have been, had I really needed the food, for it was only a little after eleven. "I'm goin' up ter the bakery;" the tramp continued. "Ye git your at 12 sharp up there." S we ambled up the Bowery to Eighth street, and from there to Tenth street and Fourth avenue. Already the waiting line extended from th rear door of the bakery around the corner to the entrance of Grace church. I dropped into the procession which in a few moments reached up Broadway to Twelfth street. I had been in the line but a short time when a clock nearby sounded for midnight. The line began to move along and the waiting men on either side of me cheered up a bit. There was very little conversation, however. Now and then some of them muttered curses, and once when a sightseeing automobile stopped at the corner the curses became quite audible. After the line of waiting men—over 600 in number, as I ascertained—had had their bread and coffee, most of them dispersed, though a few "repeated" in order to get a second helping. A number of them hung around until they could get a chance to ask the manager of the restaurant for work. But there was no chance for any one, though the refusal was not made unpleasantly. From the bakery I went back to the Bowery Mission. A thousand men are fed every night at the Bowery Mission—sometimes more. It is the aim at both this place and at Fleischmann's to send no one away hungry, but just now the demand is much in excess of that usual at this time of year. One sees at these two places the men who are in actual need of food and drink. The street beggars are in nine cases out of ten unworthy of notice. But the man or woman who doubts the distress—the real need of food among the unemployed—should spend a couple of hours at the two places I have described, and he or she will be convinced that there is no lack of opportunity for the offices of the Good Samaritan, and no excessive crowding in the ranks of holpers, of unfortunate humanity. Bronze Statue of Schuller. The bronze statue of Schiller by Hermann Matzen, which is to be erected in Cleveland by German citizens, has been completed in Berlin. The poet is seated in an arm chair. A Berlin paper is quoted as remarking apropos that "the German who goes to America becomes an American in all that the word implies, but even unto the third generation he is loyal to German poetry and German song." Good Roads. Out of the 900 towns in the State of New York, 600 have voted to have their roads built under the Fuller-Plank Act, or, as it is generally called, the money system. The matter is now optional with the towns, but in the opinion of persons who have given the matter considerable attention the idea of making it compulsory is favored.—Good Roads Magazine. The Erzberg, Austria's iron mountain, will furnish ore for, 1,000 more years. SELLS HIS BLOOD AT BARGAIN RATE Man Charges $10 to Give Up 15 Ounces of Life Fluid to Save Boy's Life. PATIENT'S FATHER CLOSES DEAL Transfusion Operation is Made as Soon as the Bargain Between Buyer and Seller Was Struck—Man and Boy Eyed Each Other During Operation. New York City.—Human blood went at bargain-counter prices in Bellevue Hospital when for $10 a guest of Mills Hotel No. 3 sold fifteen ounces of his life fluid, thereby probably saving the life of John Dennison, 15 years old, a patient suffering from malignant growth on the right leg. There was nothing heroic about the manner, in which the man sold his blood. It was purely a business proposition. The Mills Hotel man needed the ten-spot and felt he could spare the bloch. The father of the patient, though poor, felt he could spare the $10 in view of his son's need for the fresh blood. Striking a bargain between buyer and seller was easy. Dennison's father went to Mills Hotel No. 3 and announced he was in the market for human blood. He explained that his son was in Bellevue Hospital and that the surgeons were anxious to transfuse the blood of a healthy person into the body of the boy. "The doctors want a strong man who is healthy in every way," the father explained. A guest registered as Mark Owen, who refused to tell anything further about himself, stepped forward, and remarked he would like to know more about it. Big, broad-shouldered, with the glow of health in his cheeks, he looked as if he would pass the test of the physicians. "I guess you'll do," said Dennison. "How much blood do you want?" asked Owen. "Fifteen ounces." "How much do I get?" "Ten dollars." "I'm your man," and the bargain was struck. The rate was 66 2-3 cents an onuce. Up to Bellevue Hospital marched Dennison and Owen. The surgeons examined the man who, was willing to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for $10, and told him he would do. The nature of the operation then was explained to him. He was told that the patient was suffering from what is known as sacoma, a malignant growth. To save the boy's life it was necessary to take from his body about sixteen ounces of the impure blood and transfuse in the body about fifteen ounces of healthy fluid. "I don't want to be chloroformed during the operation," Owen said. "No anaesthetics will be given," replied one of the surgeons. "We'll deaden the pain by an injection of cocaine." "Go ahead," said Owen. "I'm ready." Dennison was placed on the operating table and Owen was laid on another table. Between the two was a narrow table upon which the boy and the man each placed an arm. The surgeons made an incision in the boy's upper arm and blood was permitted to flow from the upper part of the median vein, while the lower part was closed. In this way the boy was relieved of about sixteen ounces of his impure and unnourished blood. An incision then was made in the forearm of the man. The surgeons rapidly connected the lower ligament of the man's radial artery with the upper vein of the boy's arm, and the blood of the man began to pass into the body of the boy. Dennison and Owen watched each other, coolly throughout the operation. Not a whimper came from the boy, not a groan from the man. When the operation was over the boy's temperature showed marked improvement. Owen was weak after the operation. He took a stimulant and then left the hospital, not forgetting, of course, to collect his $10 before leaving. BURGLARS' GAZETTE IN RUSSIA. St. Petersburg.—A "trade paper" for burglars is now published in St. Petersburg. It is called the "Bostatska Gazette," or the "Barefooted Gazette"—the title being apparently an illusion to the stealthy ways of its readers. The paper contains full reports of the latest thefts and burglaries, articles by experts on the art of burguary and what to avoid in pursuing it, and columns of advice and hints to help the beginner. Naturally the paper is published in strict secrecy, but the police will sooner or later discover its printing office and suppress it. Paris Abates a Nuisance The Paris prefect of police has decided that in future no more licenses to play barrel organs in that city will be granted. AM MICAN DINE LIFE INSTRUMENT & BUTTER PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH. AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C 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?

One of the keepers who came ashore from Boon Island recently tells the story of the strange death encountered by thousands of the migrating birds every spring. Flying along the coast at night they are instantly attracted by the powerful light from the watch tower, as moths are drawn to a candle. Thousands of these birds in their passage north fly with full force against the thick glass of the brilliantly lighted lantern. Stunned to death they fall to the rocks below or scale away for a little distance and flutter helplessly into the water. The light of morning sometimes reveals the rocks covered with the little creatures whose journey to their summer homes has met this sudden and fatal termination. Hundreds of species are found among the unfortunate little tourists. Most of them are easily recognized as belonging to the various common classes of song birds. But very often large birds of beautiful plumage come to their final resting place in this manner upon the bleak rocks, of Boon Island. On one occasion several years ago the thick glass of the lantern was shivered to atoms by the impact of some strange bird of powerful bill.—York Transcript. Firec Started, by Moths. Moths and flames are universally connected, yet few people suspect that danger could arise therefrom. The insects are of such frail structure that generally they get destroyed before it is possible for them to inflict injury, and it is hardly creditable that the wings would ignite and retain the flames long enough to enable the moth to fly to its surroundings. That, however, has occurred. The moth was a very large one and its wings must have been very dry, so that when it floundered through the flame it set fire to one wing and darted out to a curtain nearby which at once flared up. It is possible that many summer evening fires in the country could be attributed to a source of this kind. It is notorious that mysterious fires often arise at sunset in the hot months.—Strand Magazine. A. History Night. Be Taught. Another way of teaching history which the schools might adopt has apparently not appealed to them. A good newspaper, if the teacher knows how to interpret its daily record, may stimulate an interest in history itself. If the pupil can be taught the continuity and relation of events, an awakened interest in the daily happenings will arouse a desire to trace them back through preceding stages. It is the break in continuity between the past and the immediate present that deadens enthusiasm. By studying history backward from the immediate present this chasm would be bridged and the passion for tracing to cause stimulated.—Boston Transcript. A High License Massachusetts has a town of 600 inhabitants which receives $2,670 annually from a single hotel for license to sell liquor. This is believed to be the highest license fee paid in the United States. The fee is nearly double the amount paid in Boston and other large cities. The Fastidious Burglar Visitors at a Paris hotel were disagreeably surprised one morning to find that the boots they had left outside their doors had been stolen by a burglar. Only one pair was left, on which was a paper with the words: "Not good enough for me." Value of Three Grains The Vienna Academy of Science has spent nearly $9,000 in working 10 tons of uranium ore for radium. The yield was three grains of pure radium, the largest amount ever secured at once, the value being $320,-000. Cure for Sleeplessness Sleeplessness is often caused by the head being exposed to the cold, while the rest of the body is warm. In nine cases out of ten if the head is covered with a silk handkerchief, it will induce sleep. The population of the world is now estimated to be about 1,503,000,000. Of this number 150,000,000 are black, 600,000,000 yellow and 755,- 000,000 white. Mme. Davis. ```markdown ``` STRATEGICAL USES OF TAILS. The Clever Little Weasel and His Means of Defense. Take another of our animals, a fierce little weasel, clad in summer, in a coat of brown, in winter turning white, but always with a jet black tip to the tail. The ermine, as it is incorrectly called in its winter coat, has an easy time of it, sneaking upon the mice and birds upon which it preys, but when a hawk takes after it in an open field in the sunlight or an owl in the moonlight, it would have but short shrift with all its sinuous leaping, were it not that the black tall tip is so conspicuous that it constantly attracts the eye and allows the pure white of the body to be confused with the snow. Even when we place a dead weasel on the snow and look at it from a distance, we realize how true this is, and how valuable must be the pencil tufts of black hairs to this little vermin who spends his life in hunting or being hunted.—The Outing Magazine. Everyone of Them a Bird. A current newspaper item is as follows: "The wife of a Methodist minister in West Virginia, has been married three times. Her malden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin; her second husband, Sparrow; and the present one's name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow, and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swan, and another was a Jay; but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. "They live on Hawk-ave., Eagleville, Canary Islands, and the fellow who wrote this article is a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family." Arctic Dog Life. Nowhere in the world has the dog such unrestricted right of way as in our most northerly possession—Alaska. In winter, when the more than 60,000 square miles of territory are sealed up in solid ice, dogs are almost the sole means of getting from place to place—in fact, they seem necessary to life itself. The aristocrats of Arctic dog life are the mall teams in the service of the United States Government. They are to-day a superior breed to the dogs employed some half dozen years ago before great gold discoveries demanded increased mall service.—St Nicholas. Names that Don't Nama. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of turpentine and kerosene. Copperas is an iron compound and contains no copper. Salts of lemon is the extremely poisonous oxalic acid. Carbolic acid is not an acid but an alcohol. Cobalt contains none of that metal but arsenic. Soda water has no trace of soda, and sugar of lead has no sugar; cream of tartar has nothing of cream, nor milk of lime any milk. German silver has no silver and blacklead no lead. Dogs Around Blacksmith Shops. Two or three dogs are nearly always to be found loading about every blacksmith shop. This fact is so well recognized that detectives when sent out after valuable dogs that have been lost invariably visit first all the blacksmith shops in the neighborhood. The reason why dogs visit the blacksmith shops is that they love inordinately the odor and the taste of burning hoops. They sniff the odor as a woman sniffs a rose, and they eat the hoof parings as a gourmet eats truffles.—Minneapolis Journal. Supply of Gold. It is mainly from Africa, America and Australia that the world draws its supply of gold, some $400,000,000 worth won regularly every year. Africa leads with about $150,000,000; next comes the United States with about $95,000,000; Australia ranks third with some $88,000,000, while Russia, both in Europe and Asia, Mexico, Canada and several other countries, make up the remainder. A Long Sleep. An astonishing trance case has come to light in Berlin. A clerk, aged 46—a healthy normal man—suddenly fell asleep in June 1904. All efforts to awaken him were unsuccessful and the sleeper since then has never opened his eyes. He breathes regularly and swallows his food mechanically, but is insensible to the severest attempts to arouse him. Lace Curtain Lace window curtains should always be soaked for an hour in cold water to which a little borax has been added, before being put into warm suds. This gets out the smoky smell that is sometimes so noticeable in curtains that have been used in a city. Life in Germany. Every one who has travelled in Germany is familiar with the word "verboten"—forbidden. He finds it is verboten to almost everything which he thinks he has been accustomed to do in the United States. Chicago Standard. A Vauable Bella A thirteenth century copper and gilt elberium, supposed to have come from Malmesbury abbey, was sold by auction in London for $30,000. THE NIGHT RIDERS AIDED KENTUCKY Original Organization Did Away with Toll Gates and Brought About Good Roads. COMPANIES DISOBEYED THE LAWY Ormes Committed Now Are by Gangs Hiding Behind Name of Old Association Which Caused the Abolishment of the Turnpike Companies. Louisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is said, a crime of mob violence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Southern States or in any of the Middle Western States in the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by a mob, that has not been shouldered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organized body back in 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law doing away with private ownership of State roads. For months the turnpike corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their toll gates and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed over their property. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became impossible. The owners of the turnpikes would not expend one cent for improvements as long as there was question of their losing their property by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct travellers. All this while they refused to accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were organised. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being injured unless he showed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and if he continued to be defiant he was fogged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the toll gate keeper was glad to give up his job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left standing in the State of Kentucky by, the following spring. Had the taxpayers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never ending course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up travellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Kentucky roads now are among the best in the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay interest, and the State tax has improved them and even made it possible for almost all of them to be sprinkled with oil during the summer season, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Ridors in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men in many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn't own so much as a horse to ride. If a list of the original body of Night Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many men who figured in the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because of their belief that action was their only safeguard against ruin, and that a defiance of law had to be met by a like defiance. Psyche Knot a Life Secret Altoona, Pa.—Having washed and dried her hair, Mary Housner, aged twenty-two, did it up in a Payche knot and walked out on the front porch. While she leaned against the rolling it gave way and she was precipitated backward, head first, ten feet to the sidewalk, alighting on her head. The coifure broke the impact of her head against the flagstones, but she did not entirely escape injury. She suffered a slight concussion of the brain, but recovered consciousness a few hours later. Old Are Common in Rechefort Paris, France.—Rochefort seems to be a great town for longevity. Investigation of the records reveals the fact that during the last century from January 1, 1801, to December 81, 1900, 144 persons in Rochefort attained the age of 90 onver. Two of these were contenders, one reaching the age of 104, and the other dying at 154. 2 GREAT OFFER This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS. Berlin Hotel Porter's Experiment That Was Not a Success. The porter of one of the leading Berlin hotels has just had a curious adventure. Some time ago a dealer in pearls who was stopping at the hotel told him an infallible way to distinguish real pearls from false, which was to put them on the ground and stamp on them. If real they would resist the test, if false they would be crushed. The porter, however, never had a chance of putting this theory to the test until a few days ago. The director of a well known company in Berlin, while dining at the hotel, lost a valuable pearl pin. This was found by the waiter, who gave it to the porter to return to its owner. The porter saw his opportunity had come at last to test the quality of a pearl. He put the pin on the ground, placed his heel on it and ground it to a powder. When the owner arrived to claim it there was a somewhat stormy scene, but he was good natured enough to consent to say no more about the affair on the porter refunding half the value of the pin, 600 marks. In future the porter will submit any jewelry he may find for export omnion. This Offer of The Washington Bee Will Appeal Especially to Women THE ADJUSTABLE TONGUE.

I'm suffering terribly from hunger. To-day I ate some green brush, but I can't go any more! I wonder how long it will take to die." These entries in the notebook of B. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death far from human habitation. The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. E. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argus Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find food of a sort and water in abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go no further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was in danger of dying. "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argus," was the entry for August 3, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. "Water gene," told the story of the following day. For one whole day he went without water or food, but maintained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for August 6r "Signs of water about half mile ahead. There will be green stuff there too. Will reach it early in the morning." But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as it so often does by means of a mirage. Two days later came the two entries quoted first. The last entry reads:— "I left Grapeville, Inye county, Cal., July 28. Tom Spratt told me I would parish. I thought I could make it, but got lost, so guess I will have to give in. I have no water, nothing to eat and can't walk. I have brothers, C. H. Pratt, at Banner Springs, Wyandotte county, Kan.; E. B. Pratt, in St. Louis, and W. R. Pratt, Custer county, Wyoming." LONGEST AUTO FREIGHT LINE Cars Will Carry 27 Passengers and 10 Tons of Freight. Spokane, Wash.—What is believed to be the longest automobile freight and passenger stage line on the continent is in operation between Oroville and Browster in Okanogan County, Wash., connecting with a steamer line to Wenatchee. The line has two 60-horse power cars, which will carry twenty-seven passengers and ten tons of freight, making the run of eighty miles in eight hours. The trip by wagon occupies almost two days. Branch lines will also be established to other points in the Okanogan country. The other line is between Marneus and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokane, connecting with a steamer to Spokane Falls. These cars will be of twenty-five and thirty horse power, respectively. F. L. Barney has charge of the automobile line, while Capt. Bruce A. Griggs, a veteran river man, will operate the steamer line. HAS A RABBIT PLAGUE. Bold Cottontails Destroy Crops on California Ranches. San Francisco, Cal.—Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in despair. The animals are becoming so fierce that they are actually breaking down the fences around the adjacent fields and eating crops down to the roots. Not content with this, they are swarming into the desert towns and invading front yards of the dwellers. Citizens of Lancaster turned out recently and made a round-up. They put up a fence across the road between fences surrounding fields on each side and in short time drove in and killed with clubs five hundred jack rabbits. EAGLE KILLS A SHARK Ship's Crow Witness Desperate Fight in Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore.—A remarkable combat between a large eagle and a shark was witnessed recently by Captain Henderson and the crew of the steamer Tangler in Chesapeake Bay. When coming out of Oceanhock Creek they saw the eagle dive and come to the surface with a shark. Then followed a fierce struggle, the shark pulling the eagle under the water until it was almost exhausted. The fish was finally killed and floated dead on the water. Members of the steamer's crew put off in a small boat and captured the eagle, although it clawed them repeatedly and its mate, hovering close by, tried to attack them. Shot an Albino Squirrel. Marquette, Mich.—While hunting near Grand Marais, Gustav Herbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Calras, of Grand Marais, and will be mounted. Albino deer are occasionally killed in upper Michigan, but this is the first time of which there is record that a white squirrel has been bagged. --- L. M.
