Washington Bee

THE NEGRO AND TREATMENT Editor, The Bee: "Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are, etc" If the readers of The Bee will only take notice they will see clearly that the lynching of the colored citizens of this country is on an alarming increase. Scarcely one reads the daily papers but what he has cause to shudder from the awful old story, under the big head lines, "Negro Lynched." Judge Lynch, who defies even the Supreme Court of our land and country, is still doing business at his old Southern stand, without fear of either God or man. But ah, Mr. White Man, the day of harvest is coming! Study God's Word. Why all this mixing of the gray and the blue? Does this mean that the blue sanctions the crime of taking the lives and destroying the homes of the colored citizens of this country by the gray, without calling a halt, or even entering any kind of protest against it? Shame on any country that allows lawlessness. As things now stand the colored citizens of this country are citizens in name only. Nearly every right of citizenship has been taken from them by the gray, while the blue, which owes its very life to the loyal colored citizens of this country, sits huddled up in a corner and crying Amen! to every injustice done to crush the manhood and womanhood of the colored race. Stripped of every right to sit on the jury, stripped of this God-given right to cast the ballot, and yet his deceitful pretended friends pat teh black man on the shoulder and tell him that he is an American citizen! Oh, God, we do not understand it now, but we hope to understand it better by and by, why thou took from us such ones as Lincoln, Grant, Sumner, Fred Douglass, Langston, Elliott, and others whose best and last days of their lives were spent in teaching the future rulers of this country to do justice to all American citizens alike; and then seemingly left their chairs around the family altar of our common brotherhood vacant! There seems to be no one to lead us—save into the hands of the enemy. The Negro's truest leaders of today can only be found in the pulpit and in the school house. In vain will you search for one in the political world—for he is not there. Having been denied the right to sit on the jury, to ride in first class railroad cars, to cast his ballot, the Negro, and his white friends, can clearly see now the fruits of the "State rights" laws. The South is gradually regaining al that it lost in its cruel efforts to perpetuate slavery in the dark days of '61,''65. Thus the shadow of slavery still lurks about us. About the only great difference lies in the fact that the "burning stake" has taken the place of the "auction block". There was a great strike on the Georgia railroad because that road employed colored firemen. The white hoodlums want everything in sight except wiping off the greasy car wheels. Turn off these thrifty colored firemen, and if they don't get employment in a very few hours thereafter they will be classified as a lazy set of "niggers" who won't work and ought to be gotten rid off. The world should take notice of such treatment of the colored brother at the South. If those colored firemen be dismissed they would do well to shake the dust off their feet and leave that section of the country ere their white rivals black their faces and commit some crime for which they (the colored firemen) may have to pay the penalty—probably with their lives. And this is the way the South is demonstrating her ability to settle the question "if let alone." All of his wide circle of friends and partrons of The Bee will be glad to hear that the Editor, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, will soon be out again. May he live long to help wrestle with the much vexed problems before us. J. S. Cunningham. BRASS BUTTONS WORN BY BLACKS Excite the Ire of a Florida Senator Tallahassee, Fla., Jne. 3—"Take those brass buttons and chevrons away from these Negro boys, ad make them plow the fields," said Senator Cone while speaking on his amendment to the bill to appropriate $228,900 for state institutions of higher education, of which the Negro Agricultural and Mechanical School, located here, was apportioned $5,000. Senator Cone argued for an hour, saying in part: "Think of it, men; Negroes wearing niforms and walking around the streets of our capital city! Why, Mr. President, I have even seen them sitting up here in the Senate. Negro captain—yes; captains! We'd better be making farmers out of them. "Patent leather shoes, red neckties, brass buttons and chevroons are breeding in the breast of every Negro out there. The ambition to be a Booker T. Washington and eat at some white man's table! It isn't right to appropriate them all this money, to be used in this way. "Why, they even have tennis courts out there. Why not make them plow these courts up and plant them? It is called an agricultural school, not a military college. Let's make them wear homespun shirts, jeans breeches and get out in the fields and plow. We'll cut this appropriation down and say to our state board of control: 'See here! You take these uniforms from these Negroes or we'll ask the governor to remove you.' We have got to stop them, or we will have trouble from them pretty soon." Several replies were made to this address, but none could remove that impression made, and the senate voted the adoption of Senator Cone's amendment. MR. JOHN P. GREEN'S VIEWS From the Daily News, London, England. The Negro as Fighter. "What contribution has the Negro made to the life of the United States" asked our representative. "That question is easily and fully answered" replied Mr. Green. "I will give you four facts, and others if your require them: "1. His brawn and sweat help to develop the industries of the country and make cotton king. "2. He helped to achieve the independence of the thirteen Colonies. It was a Negro, Crispus Attuck, who was the first to fall in the streets of Boston, and a monument now marks the place. "3. In the war of 1812, between Great Britain and the United States, he helped to save New Orleans, and was publicly thanked by General Andrew Jackson for his services. "4. In the Civil War 189,000 of them helped to shoot secession to death and save the Union." "Tomorrow," Mr. Green concluded, "if red-handed anarchy should be raised against law and order in the United States, 1,000,000 would spring to the fore to fight for social order and the rights of man." A FEW POINTERS Some people have an idea that typesetting is a cheap trade and that it costs nothing to set it. The great fault with some colored orators is, they are not satisfied unless you give them a column or two, and they hardly say thank you. A man who is a subscriber and owes for his paper will bring you a column to publish and becomes offended if you ask him to pay up. Don't tell people that you are earnig more money than you do, because your friend will undoubtedly want to borrow some day. When you ask favors you should grant a few. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SAT said on pro- isions Ne- ical omed an ear- the Mr. sit- gro tter ck- are gro a at ight to nis em m? not em ches ow. wn on- ni- e'll Hon W M. H. Hon W J Cary OUR WESTERN CONGRESSMEN The Colored Man's Friend The Bee takes great pleasure in presenting to its readers the Honorable William J. Cary, of Milwaukee, whose cut appears in this week's issue. Mr. Cary is serving his second term in Congress, having been elected four years ago to succeed the Honorable Theobald Otien under the new primary laws of Wisconsin. Mr. Cary is a self made man and has worked his way up to the present position that he now holds. He has made a great many friends since he came to Congress, both among Republicans and Democrats, on account of his kind and exact business disposition. He is an uncompromising Republican and a true, loyal friend to the colored race who believes in giving a square deal to every man, regardless of his creed or color. He is very popular here in Washington among the colored people and is always ready and willing to do anything in his power to further their cause. Mr. Cary is a great admirer of Booker T. Washington and believes that the colored race would be benefitted by following Mr. Washington's teachings. Mr. Cary has quite a number of colored voters in his district and they feel proud of having such an able representative as Mr. Cary in Congress at this time, when the Democratic party is doing all in its power to disfranchise every Negro in the Sothern States, and take from him all the inalienable rights guaranteed them by the Constitution and it will only be a matter of time if the Democratic party succeeds in carrying this country that they will try to ring about the disfranchisement of the colored voters of the United States. It behooves every liberty loving colored man to so conduct him self taht he will have the respect of his white friends and by thus doing they will have the hearty cooperation of such true and loyal men as Mr. Cary and other Western Republicans. The Bee feels safe in saying that it voices the sentiment of every colored voter in Mr. Cary's district when it says that it is their best wishes to see Mr. Cary con tined in Congress until he is called upon to fill a higher and more exalted position. The Bee wishes to extend to the colored voters of the Fourth District its congratulations for having sent such an able statesman as Mr. Cary to represent them in the 61st Congress, and it hopes that the people will see that he is re-elected to the 62nd Congress. Judge Hewlett on the bench in the Municipal Court. Judge Delacy reappointed. United States Attorney Ralph Given elevated. Attorney Campbell Carrington improve in health. Attorney Frisby given one more SATURDAY JUNE 12, 1909 Attorney Thomas L. Jones made one of the assistants in the Department of Justice. Attorneys, Peyton, Scott, Clink-scales Pollard, Martin and others continue to succeed. IT IS RUMORED Something will drop soon There will be a new coon in town soon. That the fight against Judge Kimball wil not prevent his reappointment. Thomas Walker continues to purchase houses. Doctors hereafter will practice their profession and give up the real estate business. Recorder Dancy has been marked O. K. D. Witmore fot some information when in town. On the evening of June 15th, Friday, go to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, M St. Between 15th and 16th streets, northwest. The occasion is a charity concert for the benefit of friendless girls.. Every citizen of Washington who is able, should either be present or purchase a ticket. I. C. NAPIER ESO James C. Napier, of Nashville, Tennessee, son-in-law of the late John Mercer Langston, will arrive in town shortly to fill a position. The Bee would tell you more, but it is bound by secrecy. Mr. Napier is a polished gentleman and scholar. 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. No wonder that so many shops in New York City sell shoes and that go many shops sell nothing but shoes, for it is estimated that the pedestrians of the city wear out 23,000 pairs of shoes each day. Big 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.-100,000,000 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. READ THE BEE. SUGAR MAKES 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 Britain's 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 is 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 Worksp, England, it having come to her from her grandfather at whose house Wesley lived for a time when but an infant. An Unusual Happening A mill at Great Barrington, Mass., was shut down in a most unusual manner a few weeks ago, when water bugs, crowding into the space around the engine stop push button, produced a short circuit and the consequent stoppage. The Christian Brothers The Christian Brothers, a religious congregation of the Catholic Church, founded in 1680 in France, is building a large business college at Portland, Ore., an entire city block having been purchased for the school and a large playground. Canada's Fuel Supply. A serious problem for the people of Canada to solve is the fuel supply of the future. No coal of any kind has ever been discovered in Ontario. In the older part of the province the timber is practically exhausted ANNIVERSARY The Fifteenth Anniversary of the National Colored Personal Liberty League will be celebrated in the banquet rooms of Odd Fellows' Hall Wednesday evening June 16, from 8 to 12.

PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Starr Hoyt Nichols, a broker of New York, committed suicide last Monday by taking choloroform in his apartments at the Royal Hotel in Hawaii. When ex-Sheriff J. F. Shipp and five codefendants in the contempt case before the United States Supreme Court, started for this city last Sunday from Chattanooga, Tennessee, over 2500 of Chattanooga's well known citizens gathered at the Central station. The funeral services of Dr. John W. Bischoff, known as the "Blind Organist of Washington," over the United States, who died last Sunday morning after a short illness, were held last Tuesday afternoon from the First Congregational Church where he had been organist for the past 35 years. An interesting event took place at the White House last Tuesday when President, Taft opened the Yukon-Alaska Exposition at Seattle. He touched a gold key which transmitted the electric spark that started the machinery in the exposition grounds. A large number of visitors inspected the work of the St. Johns College students on exhibition in the auditorium of that institution, Vermont Avenue, last Monday. IF SUGAR BOILS TOO LONG. Add a Few Tablespoonfuls of Cold Water and Bail Again. Bolling sugar and water for ices, or iceing is a somewhat ticklish operation, as every cook knows. If cooked too much it will be sugary, and if not enough, it will run. The latter fault can be remedied by returning to the stove for a few minutes. When the bolling has gone beyond the desired degree the consistency can be reduced by adding a few tablespoonfuls of cold water and bolling again. If the sugar has been burnt the taste will remain, even though sugaring has been prevented. Never stir sugar and water while bolling if you do not want it to granulate. Watch it carefully and take it off at the critical moment, which most cases must be decided by experience. Nut Loaf. Put through the meat chopper enough meats of any kind to measure two cups. Black walnuts are the only sort which will not do. Moisten slightly a loaf of stale bread and with a fork remove the crust, having it in as flaky pieces as possible. Add a pint of bread flakes to the nuts, a teaspoon salt and a heaping teaspoon powdered mixed herbs. Melt two tablepoons butter in a cup of rich milk and when cool add to the nut and crumb mixture. Work with the hands and shape into an oval loaf. Place this in a well-greased pan and bake half an hour in a moderate oven, basting occasionally with water and butter. Serve cold with mayonnaise. Lemon Ginger Mint. Make an unusually strong lemonade, allowing five lemons and a cup of sugar to each quart of water. To every quart of lemonade add a quart of ginger ale. Put both together in a big punch bowl with a piece of ice. Have ready a number of sprigs of mint carefully washed. Brulse the stems and lower leaves between the fingers to bring out the full flavor of the mint. Half an hour before serving pour into the punch bowl. Chilled Dessert. Chocolate Cream—Into a double boiler beat the yolks of six eggs, add to them three ounces of grated chocolate, quarter of a pound of sugar and one pint of rich cream. Stir one way constantly until it thickens. Strain off into a large bowl. Beat half a pint of cream until very thick and add to this an ounce and a half of dissolved gelatin. Mix this very lightly with the chocolate and cream, then pour off into a mold and put on the ice to harden. Pleasant Flavor. One noted housewife says the secret of her delicious raspberry jam is that just before the jam has finished boiling she stirs into it currant jelly in the proportion of a half-pint of the jelly to a quart of jam. The two were stirred thoroughly together and put in sealed jars in the usual way. Pork Salad. One large cupful roast or boiled pork, chopped fine. One boiled potato, mashed with one tablespoonful butter. One teaspoonful dry mustard; two ounces pichia, chopped; two hard-boiled egg, chopped; black pepper, salt and vinegar to mix smooth.

The alleged correspondent in the New York Age of May 29th who charges every female teacher in the public schools with immorality, dares not come forth from under cover. This cowardly popinjay" who no doubt, was born before his time, is one of the individuals in this city from some other state, who has been denied free ingress and egress to the best society in this city. He hints at the teachers' case. Does he know the circumstances? During Miss Madre's long public career in this city, can any ony point out one law that she has violated? How many innocent women have been held under a ban of suspicion by such cowards as the alleged correspondent of the New York Age. The Bee is surprised that the Editor of the New York Age, Mr. Moore, who lived in this city for so many years, and who knows the teachers of the public schools as well as he, should have permitted such a scurrilous libel to be published against the female teachers in our public schools. The sister-in-law; Miss Martha Lowe, that was, who has made herself famous, was a product of the public schools of this city. The excellent and talented wife of the Editor of the New York Age is a product of the public schools of this city, and last, but not least, the distinguished Editor of the Age is a product of the public schools of this city. The Bee is of the opinion had the Editor of the Age seen the alleged correspondent of May 29, he would have had too much respect for the female teachers in our public schools to have published the scavenger's products. If there are female teachers in our public schools who are morally unfit, who made them so? Has the alleged correspondent of the Age ascertained the names of the males? If not, why not? Why single out the females? If the females are wrong, are not the men equally so? There is a method in the madness of the alleged correspondent. The Bee is of the opinion that the teachers in our schools had enough blackguarding, reduction, and dismissals, under the Chancellor regime. There only friend at court then was Captain James F. Oyster, the President of the Board of Education, who believes in giving the teacher a fair eal. There is something wrong in Denmark. It is so strange that the moment the outcast Negro gets in town he begins to find fault with the people. Nothing pleases this class of colored people, especially when they are not permitted to visit your homes. Many of these Negroes have gone so far as to say that a respectable colored woman is hard to find in this city. he Editor of The Bee knows the individual and knows his associates to be among prostitutes. With this association of of course he is not permitted in decent society. Decent society will not have him. Men who are the associates of gamblers and prostitutes are blind to virtue and morality. A virtuous woman may be walking upon the public streets and by accident meet an assassin. She is shot. Must we presume that the female who has been assaulted should be held under a cloud of suspicion? The Bee has known young ladies to be slandered because the intruders have been repressed. Mr. Age Correspondent, The Bee calls your hand, be a man and show down. A WORD TO GRADUATES Howard University has already turned out into the world her 1909 graduates. Armstrong Manual Training School and M Street High School will next week add their quota to the thousands of graduates the thousands of schools and colleges will give to the world. These graduates will be quickly awakened to the fact that the world is an exacting, unsympathetic, cold and austere proposition. They will quickly realize that they do not know it all; that they have simply been prepared to enter in life's Marathon. Especially upon these colored graduates will there rest a grave responsibility, and especially, for the colored graduates, will there appear huge obstacles in the path to success. The responsibility is the debt they owe to themselves, their parents and their race to make good. The obstacles are Race Prejudice, and Lack of Opportunities. The responsibility they must assume and bear bravely. The obstacles they must overcome. Race prejudice, can never be so strong nor so high that it can resist the efforts of the determined man and woman to overcome it. The lack of opportunities can never be so pronounced as to prevent real ability, backed up by determination and honesty of purpose, from being recognized. Always, and ever bear in mind that there is no royal road to success, and that success is only in proportion to the energy expended and the ability can never succeed, no matter how towering, without the proportionate amount of energy mixed with it. Down in the valley of mediocre there is a congested population, and a constant friction because of this congestion. Up on the high plains of success every man has room to expand. The flag on the staff pole of a high building waves proudly to the breezes, many feet above the surging crowds, and out of reach of the miscreant's hand. The crowd passes along, an hundred and more feet below, and gazes admiringly up to the banner that floats out gracefully and proudly to the breezes. So it is with the man. He who climbs to the summit stands out by himself. Far above the common and the mediocre, and the prejudiced, he is a proud spectacle, a mighty genius up to whom the masses look admiringly. Do not be content to be one of the crowd. Strive to reach the high plain of success. The graduates of Howard, and Armstrong, and M Street will advance the race, and accelerate the advance of all those who come later, if they will determine to write success, not down among the everyday crowd, but high up at the top where there is always room. Neither race prejudice nor lack of opportunities can turn back energetic ambition. Race prejudice, in the final analysis, is but a recognition of your ability to rise, and renders your rise, when accomplished, all the more conspicuous and lasting. Now up and at life's work with vim and vigor, and remember that in the bright lexicon of youth there ought not to be the dismal word "fail." "THE JIM CROW NEGRO" Get rid of the "Jim Crow" Negro and then we shall get rid of the "Jim Crow" cars. The so-called advocates and defenders of the Negro against "Jinn Crowism" ought to go South and seat themselves in one of the "Jim Crows" or one of the cars set apart for the Negro. There you will see the "Jim Crow" Negro in all his glory. He will not only insult you, but they will fight among themselves and assault one another. You will see the "Jim Crow" Negro in this city, riding to and from the excursion boats. The Bee is confident that these advocates have seen them in their glory, using profane language, many of the males and females with their arms around each other's shoulders. If a respectable person enters the car he more or less insulted. Conditions South are worse. Many a respectable Negro has been threatened with bodily harm by these "Jim Crow" Negroes while riding South. A gentleman cites an incident that happened while going South to Florida, accompanied by his wife They were compelled to ride in a "Jim Crow" car. A little below North Carolina a crowd of "Jim Crow" Negroes entered the car, filled with whiskey! their pockets also contained bottles of the corn juice. One of the men approached this man and his wife and demanded him to drink from his bottle. Of course he took the bottle and pretended that he was drinking his whiskey. This satisfied the crowd and one of the number declared, OI he's all right. Had not the traveller accepted the hospitalities of the "Jim Crow" Negro there would have been trouble. All the agitation, public meetings, and the other public demonstrations will not eliminate the "Jim Crow" cars until we eliminate the "Jim Crow" Negro. The young Negro of today is the dangerous element in society. The more he is restrained, the more dangerous he becomes to society. It is the dangerous element from the South that is monopolizing this city, thus reflecting upon the better element of citizens. IS IT A CONSPIRACY? Professor John T. Layton needs no defense so far as The Bee is concerned. His record alone is sufficient to commend him to the people of Washington. Professor Layton did not make himself, had he have had the making of himself no doubt he would either have made himself white or he would have painted his face a passable color, or a color that would be agreeable to those who have attempted to discredit his ability as a director of music in our public schools. But what does it all mean? It is easy to solve. It is a dirty conspiracy and the Bee warns the public to have a watchful eye of events. Why should he be made a victim of an attack? Is he competent: if not, who has ever out stripped in a competition examination? Twice he was cheated out of the directorship after a competitive examination, and why? Because one of the powers said he was too black. It was his color, then, it is his color now, that these unwarranted attacks have been made upon him. The Bee is of the opinion that two thirds of the members of the Board of Education understand it. here are some people in this city who would rather see the schools filled with white bastards than competent, legitimate teachers. The name of John T. Layton is a household word among the children and people in this com munity. THE FROG AND BASS Those applicants that are waiting for the Recordership, will be. Keep your eye on the indicator. Somebody is sure to go out on a sacrifice hit. An envious and malicious man who starts something to get even with a successful rival is a predestined failure. "Images of God cut in ebony" are giving the white politician much concern these days. The suspicious man fears evil at every turn, and fear sits in his cowardly heart day and night. The smooth, oily talker never fools anyone long except himself, for people soon learn that smoothness is a poor substitute for sincerity. for Recorder of Deeds, it is said. Mr. Horner is still a candidate There are many "still" candidates for the same position, and many will remain "still." BRASS BUTTONS "The amendment to the bill to appropriate $228,900. for State institutions of higher education," offered by Senator Cone in the Florida legislature last week was no doubt right and proper. Heretofore, $25,000 has been appropriated for the agricultural and mechanical school. If this is an agricultural and mechanical school, certainly the students have no business being on military and dress parade. They should wear uniforms in keeping with their school. The same conditions exist in our Armstrong Manual Training School. Why should there be a military company connected with this institution? It is out of reason. The High School is different.. There is too much bombast in many of our schools. The action of the Florida legislature should be an eyeopener to the members of the Board of Education. The Bee would suggest that the students of the Armstrong Manual Training School be required to wear uniforms in conformity with what is being taught in that institution. THE NEGRO ATTORNEY There has been come complaint made against the court that it is prequidiced against the Negro attorney. There never was a charge so false and unfounded. Some attorneys imagine that they must ride rough shod over their clients; take their money by misrepresentation and when they are brought before the bar of Justice, the cry is that the court is prejudiced. All that the court asks from any attorney, black or white, that they don't indulge in any sharp practice. No one worked harder to compel attorneys to adhere strictly to legal ethics than Judge Kimball, of the police court. He may have his faults, but cart it be said that he discriminates against the Negro or any other attorney who practices before him. Does not the same rule obtain in the United States branch of the police court and the District Supreme Court? The Negro attorney is being dealt as fairly with in all the courts in the District of Columbia as he is anywhere in the United States: THE JUVENILE COURT If there is one institution in this city that needs more help, it is the Juvenile Court, which has been so well handled by Judge William H. DeLacy. This court is conducted without friction. The hardest worked man is chief clerk Harper. Congress should give him more clerks. The Court is a success under Judge DeLacy He is a gentleman of the highest type. HOTEL MACEO When visiting New York City, stop at the Hotel Maceo, 213 West 53rd. Street, corner Broadway. Steam heated. Telephone, 802. Columbus. B. F. Thomas, Prop TABLE DELICACIES FAMOUS RECIPES OF EMMA PAD DOCK TELFORD. Many Especially Adapted for the Hot Weather—Swatza a Palatable Breakfast Dish—Figs and Rhubarb Combined. Black Currant Fool—Pick off the stems, wash clean, drain well and put into a saucepan with sugar to sweeten. Stir over the fire until soft, press through a flue hair sieve, return to pan and simmer gently until the consistency of thick cream. Chill, put in the icebox and leave until ready to serve. Turn into a glass dish and serve with whipped cream. Black Currant Ice Cream.—Stew one cupful of black currants five minutes, then press through a fine sieve. Add a cupful of rich syrup and a cupful thick cream, beat well, then freeze. When stiff pack in an ornamental mold, cover close and pack in ice and salt. When ready to serve turn out on a low glass dish, garnish with crystallized cherries and leaves of angelica. Spliced Currants.—This is a delicious accompaniment to roast beef in winter and should be made now. To every seven pounds courants allow three and a half pounds sugar, a pint of vinegar and a cup currant juice. Cook about half an hour or longer until the mixture thickens, add three tablespoonfuls cinnamon and a tablespoonful and a half powdered cloves, cook a few moments longer, then pour into a stone pot or glass cans as preferred. Currant Catsup.—This, too, is an excellent relish for future use. To four pounds ripe currants allow a pound and a half sugar, a tablespoonful ground cinnamon, a teaspoonful each ground cloves, salt and pepper and a pint of vinegar. Stew until quite thick, strain and bottle. Cherry Brown Betty.—Put a layer of pitted sweetened cherries in the bottom of a baking dish, cover with fine bread crumbs dotted with bits of butter and so continue until the dish is full. Have the top layer of the buttered crumbs. Cover and bake an hour, uncover and brown. Serve with hard sauce flavored with nutmeg. Swatza.—This makes a good summer breakfast dish, quickly prepared and nourishing. To serve three persons, beat three eggs in a soup plate until well blended. From a large loaf cut five slices bread and cut these in halves. Put a tablespoonful butter in the frying pan, and as soon as hot put in as many slices of the bread which have been dipped in the beaten egg as it, will hold. As soon as golden brown on one side turn and crisp the other. It will take but a moment. As fast as finished pile on a platter and keep hot until all the slices are done and ready to serve. Serve with maple or fruit syrup Figs and Ribarb—Wash two bunches rhubarb and cut into inch pieces with a fork. Put into the double boiler with a cupful sugar and four or five cups in inch pieces. Put on the cover a cook over hot water until the rhubarb is tender and the syrup rich and jelly like in consistency. Raisins are nice cooked in the same way with rhubarb. If preferred and you are to live a hot oven anyway put the rhubarb and figs or raisins in a stone pot, cover closely and bake in the oven until jellied.—Emma Paddock Telford. Savory Tongue Creams. Six ounces of cooked tongue, three ounces of cooked chicken, half a tablespoonful of powdered gelatine, half a cupful of white sauce, three small tomatoes, one tablespoonful of chutney, a few drops of red coloring, salt and paprika to taste, some jelly, some aspic jelly, pastry and lettuce. Coat some wet molds with liquid tomato jelly, then let it set. Mix the gelatine with one gill of the tomato jelly, dissolve and strain. Chop finely the tongue and chicken, add tomato, pound them till smooth, add white sauce, chutney, salt and paprika, rub through a sieve, add the gelatine and coloring. Divide this mixture into the molds. Turn out when firm and garnish with parsley, lettuce and chopped aspic jelly. Raspberry Cream. Soak one-half of a box of gelatine in one-half of a cupel of cold water and when soft add one-half of a cupful of boiling water in which has been dissolved one cupful of sugar. Strain, add one pint of raspberry juice and set in a cool place or on ice until the mixture begins to thicken; beat slowly with an egg-beater until frothy and quite thick; stir in carefully one pint of cream, whipped to a solid froth. Turn into wetted molds and set away until firm. Health Bread. Two cups of rye meal, one cup of flour, teaspoon of salt, one cup of sour milk, one egg, one spoon lard, one half teaspoon of soda. Bake in loaf or flat tins, slowly. Nice with maple sipup. Macaroon Whip. Whip one pint of cream, roll out one-half pound of macaroons, one-half cup of maple syrup, one cup of walnuts. Mix thoroughly. Serve ice cold in frappe glasses with candied cherries. Lemon Sherbet. Use four cups water, two cups sugar, one tablespoonful gelatin. Dissolve gelatin in part of the water, the sugar in the balance, mix thoroughly, and freeze. OXEN BUILD THE RAILROA As Weil, as Do Most of the Farmwork in Eastern Canada. The ox as a beast of burden has about had his day with the American farmer. He is raised by wholesale, killed by wholesale and distributed through the world as beef, but he doesn't have to work. Up in eastern Canada, however, he does a big stunt of work before he is eaten. In Nova Scotia, especially, oxen are still used for all sorts of farm work. They plough the fields, haul the hay and apples and potatoes and cart in the firewood from the forests. They are slow, it is true, but there is time and to spare in those parts. Of late the ox has been helping to build the railroads in Nova Scotia. He is found to be very useful in grading the roadbed, which calls for a lot of short haul work. The oxen are yoked in pairs and as many pairs can be used tandem as are necessary to any given job. They are patient and untiring. Reads Like It's True. A Stroud farmer on route one has taken out a patent on an electric motor fastened on a cow's back, the electricity being generated by a dynamo attached to the cow's tail, says the Stroud inventor. It strains the milk and hangs up the pall and strainer; a small phonograph accompanies the outfit which yells "So!" when the cow moves; if she kicks a hinged arm catches the milk can and slams her over the head with it. —Lincoln County (Okla.)

Many a weary seeker after health would do well to throw away drug tonics and try the cold bath, taking care, however, to secure a good reaction. The result in the way of renewed life and energy would be surprising.—Good Health. . . Robbery in China.

The Night Riders were an organ- teed body back In 1900, when the Btate Legislature passed a law do- ing away with private ownership of State roads. For months the turn- pike corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court ef Appeals, and Iastly to the United States Supreme Codft, and en each appeal they would get a stay, which made St possible for them te continue running their toll Fates and charging two cents a mile fer every herve er vehicle that passed over their preperty.

Ocylon the Only Part of the World Where They Exist. What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a hard 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 inelining 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 formation 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 company of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently enclosed. But he cannot. He has been brogged up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his soul the spirit of diffidion holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakls; a prey to introspective torment - he who would perhaps storm a part with a triumphant mile of lips - London Observer. Hanging Pictures Dangerom. "Railroad casualties receive sund 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 trvelling 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 alpens 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, *colonial 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 1,000,000 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 historian. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on his subject. There is an idea in some minds that a book on history to be good must be new. In nine cases cut of ten the new book is a common-place re-statement of facts that were better presented by an elder writer.—The Sphere. A Man and a Woman A man's idea of being stylish, dressed is to wear something in which he looks atrociously bad; a woman is to wear something no other woman can duplicate. WITH THE "BREAD LINE" A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. 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 policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bowyer as I approached them looked nee over when they saw I was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the coat I had borrowed for the evening was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were not waterproof. If my object poverty was assumed, I felt a semblance of the real thing, for I was cold and tired after tramping up and down the muddy streets for an hour. "Where kin 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 tencent feeding places, of which there are one or two in every block in tails 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 I 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 dimly 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 ye no grub until 1 o'clock." 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 the 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, howeyar. 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 alm 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 helpers of unfortunate humanity. Bronze Statue of Schiller. 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 Eraberg, 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 blood. 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 sarcoma, 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." Donnison 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 burglaries 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 burgury 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. Parla 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 N HOME LIFE INSURANCE BURST SICK AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE UP TO $25.00 PER WEEK WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE ON VERY LIBERAL TERMS PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH. AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH IH 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. In 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. DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS. Mighthouses on the Maine Coast Attract and Kill Thousands. 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. A5. History Might Be Taught. As History Might 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 Ilgh Lcenso 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 Burzlar 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.

Cure for Sleeplessness Sleeplessness is often caused by the head being exposed to the cold, while the rest of the body is warm.

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 Norodist minister in West Virginia, has been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin; her second husband, Sparrow; and the present one's name is Quayle. There are 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 mail 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 Name. 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 Shop. Two or three dogs are nearly always to be found loafing 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 salit 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 $85,000,000, 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 Curtains 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.

COUNTERFEITERS' NEW SCHEME How the Smooth Demonstrator Gets His Victim's Coln. "One of the latest schemes of the counterfeit money swindlers is to show gullible people a machine with which they can print for themselves large size bills, imitative of Government currency," said Capt. S. F. Khodes, 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 ignorantus 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. N. Y. World. Odd South American Animals. Many curious animals haunt the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the marybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copu rat and the swarthy piglike taplr are frequently seen. A long 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 Oolite series, at Brora, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the cells reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Plaitor 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 for molen skirts especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting 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 leaf 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 cage 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 Teothpicks. 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. KINK A Beautifu Hair Dressing and Tonic for the Hair! PROF.

Odessa.—Peter Kavulitch, an Austrian mason, went mad here as the result of brooding over being forced to wall up the daughter of the chieftain of a Tartar tribe in the Caucasus in a living tomb. He was kidnapped in Baku a month ago, taken blindfolded into the mountains, compelled to build the wall around the girl and then was turned loose outside Baku. For a week he led a party of soldiers in a vain attempt to find the girl. The girl was condemned to death in the tomb because she 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 build a wall around her and leave her to her fate. Kavulitch was kidnapped, 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 his life was threatened unless he obeyed. The girl was tied hand and foot to a stake. She implored mercy, but her cries were unheeded.

Brooklyn.—Adolph Raad, who formerly lived at No. 110 Luquer street, was buried 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, Germany. They purchased a farm in what is now Flatbush, and as the city gradually encroached upon their farm land they cut it up and sold it until they were soon able to retire comfortably. There is an old German custom of making a wish whenever a fresh loaf of bread is cut. On September 7, 1904, Mrs. Raad had just made the customary wish, and was about to cut a loaf when she dropped dead. The husband cut the loaf and put half in his wife's coffin. The ether half was preserved in a tin box, the neighbors having been instructed to put it in his coffin. THE WINDOW SILL MIRROR. Rarely Seen in New York But Plentiful 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 walking 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 Stops 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 secreta 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.

Boston, Mass.—"I will refuse to marry persons afflicted with consumption or any hereditary or communicable disease if I have personal knowledge of such alliments existing, and I am also opposed to marrying divorced people, except in the case of the innocent party," said Rev.

I believe, through observation and consultation, that a prospective bridegroom should have an earning capacity of at least $15 a week before he should consider the matrimonial venture. This statement, of course, does not apply in all cases, for there are always exceptions, but I think the union of persons in the middle class in this country, who are in poor circumstances, creates nothing but a hell on earth. "When I made the statement some time ago from the pulpit of my church that I would marry any couple that wanted to get married if they did not have the marriage fee, my remark was a facetious one; made half in jest and half in earnest, but I will gladly perform the ceremony for any unfortunate couple that might have sinned, free of cost, if they apply to me and give evidence of good faith. It is a pitilable sight in a large city to see a young girl carrying a babe on her arm without a husband to show his love, or a father to provide for her and her offspring. "I was, perhaps, led to make the statement that I would marry all such couples that applied to me through a case that came to me not long ago. Our church is so situated in the heart of the city that practicability is our chief aim. I became interested in a young girl who had sinned, and I appeared in court in her behalf. She was dressed in mourning and carried her babe on her arm. It developed that when her aged mother learned of the sin and disgrace of her daughter, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. And that is why I stand ready to help uplift the sinners that are making a struggle to live an upright and honorable life, and our church will assist them in every reasonable manner, such as finding employment for the husband, etc. "Now as to the marriage of young girls and fellows in meagre circumstances. There has been and is constantly being brought to my attention cases of hasty marriages when neither person is in a financial condition to warrant their marriage. Fifteen dollars a week is little enough to defray the expenses of a home with its furnishings, its doctor's and nurse's bills, the support of children and the mite that should be given to charity by all Christians. Of course, when I place the weekly salary at $15 I refer only to the middle classes, that is Irish-Americans, or those of Anglo-Saxon extraction, and so forth. I don't refer to the lower class of people from Europe who can exist on much less. "And in regard to persons afflicted with tuberculosis or other diseases of a hereditary nature to which man and woman are subject, it is my belief that a man or woman unfortunate enough to be effected with communicable diseases should be unselfish enough when they are aware of these diseases existing to be content to merely love the man or woman and not ask one to have whole lives blasted. It is a terrible thing to have children born into this world with the taint of disease upon them. Yet there are a great many marriages in this country in the course of the year when one or the other of the contracting persons is a victim of some communicable sexual disease, and is the cause of much misery and the loss to the United States of millions of dollars. "I will not marry persons whom I know are afflicted thusly, and if there is any suspicion in my mind I will ask them frankly about the matter. A man should be as unselfish and sacrificing in such matters as the soldier or the fireman or the hundreds of other heroes, and it is their duty to humanity as well as to their country that they cast aside all thoughts of marriage when they know they are unfitted to become husbands and fatherr. "I have steadfastly refused to marry divorced persons, unless in the cases of the innocent persons. There are innumerable cases of innocent persons being divorced through no fault of theirs and they should not be compelled to suffer for the sins of the guilty." ```markdown ``` “Vegetable milk” is used In Japan. it Is made from the soja bean.

It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Mes- sina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kafir Lay came running to tell him that tlree ons were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus selzed big gun and ran hard fa the direction indicated. On his arrival at the spot he found the Heas lying around one of the don- Keys, He fired and killed a big Uoness. The other two jumped up But he was reddy and shot another (younger) HMoness, The young llon which was left ran behind some brushweod.

Potage a la Marceau: Ingredients—Two turnips, two ounces butter, one quart of broth or stock, a slice of pumpkin, a small piece of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of cream, some croutons of fried bread. Method—Chop up finely the turnips, and toss them in butter till they are a golden brown. Add to this the pumpkin bolled in the broth. Pass the soup through a sieve, adding to it a small piece of sugar, the cream, and croutons of bread fried a golden brown in butter. Potage a la d'Aumale: Ingredients —Twenty-four large mussels, a small bunch of parsley, one onion, three pints of beef broth, croutes of bread. Method—Scrape and wash the mussels. Cook them in water with the parsley and onion (sliced). Then take the mussels out of the shells and trim them. Place them in a soup turcen with the croutes of bread, which have previously been browned in the oven. Strain the broth and add to it a plint of boiling milk, sweetened with a lump of sugar. Pour the soup into the tureen containing the croutes and mussels and serve. Potage a la Colbert: Ingredients—Some spring vegetables, three poached eggs, tabasco or Worcestershire sauce, a few shreds of chervil, three pints of clear soup. Method—Cut a few spring vegetables into fancy shapes and boil them in salted water. Drain them and cook in the consomme. Just before serving the soup poach the eggs and place them in the tureen, also the sauce, and some chopped chervil. HOUSEHOLD HINT8. To cover the pan in which fish is cooking will make the flesh soft. All lard to fry fritters and doughnuts must be very, very hot before putting in the batter. Black lead mixed with vinegar will be found to give a specially good polish to the kitchen stove. A piece of flannel dampened with spirits of camphor will remove stains from mirrors or window glass. Rub over new tinware with lard and thoroughly heat it in the oven before using it, for thus it is protected from rust. When washing lace never rinse it in blue water, with the idea of improving its color. Real lace should be finally rinsed in skim milk, which will give it a soft, creamy color. Carpets should be beaten on the wrong side first and then, more gently on the right. Never put a carpet down on a damp floor, for this often results in the carpet becoming mildewed. If, when using lemon for flavoring, you need only half a one, put the other half on a plate and cover with a glass tumbler. This excludes the air and prevents it from drying up or getting moldy.

Take from the fire and add one-fourth box of gelatin which has soaked in a little cold water for an hour; strain and stand aside to cool. Line the bottom and sides of a melon mold with preserved or candied cherries, slices of quince or pineapple or any kind of preserved fruit and put in a layer of broken sponge cake. Sprinkle with the pounded macaroons and ladyfingers; add a layer of fruit, and so on until all is used. Cover with whipped cream and set the pudding on ice until ready to be served. All In the Serving. Even an ordinary pudding of a creamy nature takes on a new appearance if served in the tall-stemmed sherbet glasses. A tasty pudding served in this way at a recent dinner was made with rice and chocolate, topped with whipped cream. The pudding is made in the same way as the ordinary creamy baked rice pudding except that grated chocolate is added. A baked custard, topped with whipped cream and dotted with Maraschino cherries, came to the table in sherbet glasses the other day.

In former times it was a common notion that, if a sick person, could only touch the hand of a suicide, he or she would be cured. This superstition was especially common in the west of England; in Cornwall, touching a suicide's hand was said to have once cured a young man who had been afflicted with many tumors from his birth. A similar superstition regarding the touch of executed criminals has been widely prevalent and has often been recorded. Robert Hunt, in his "Romances of the West of England," says that he once saw a young woman led to the scaffold at Newgate to have a wen touched by the hand of a man who had just been executed. At Northampton of old the hangman is said to have had a regular fee for according a similar "privilege" to the sufferers from like disorders. Even the coffin of a suicide may have curative value. There is a Devonshire belief to the effect that, if any one suffering from disease can manage to throw a white handkerchief on such a coffin at the time of its interment, the disease will vanish as the handkerchief decays. Much superstitious value has been attached to the knots of the ropes used either by a suicide or in the execution of a criminal. Clean Your Glasses. You who wear spectacles must understand that you cannot see to advantage through greasy lenses. The common habit is to wipe eye-glasses or spectacles with a silk handkerchief carried in the pocket. The finger tips always exude a delicate oil. This gets on the handkerchief and from the handkerchief goes on to the lenses. Presently there is a smear of grease and people complain of dimness of vision. Drop the handkerchief; get some very fine tissue paper cut into small sections, wipe your glasses with two or three pieces and throw them away. Shoddy. Shoddyl The word stands for everything that is mean and contemptible, false, and make-believe. Yet the product known in the world of business as shoddy is one of the most useful inventions of the nineteenth century, and deserves to rank with steam and electricity, anesthetics, the bicycle and other discoveries that have made life worth living, improved our health and lengthened our days.—World's Work. Newspapers In The U. B. In 1810, nearly a century ago, these were 359 newspaper in the United States. In 1905 there were 26,422 printing and publishing houses in the country. These represented $385,008,604 of invested capital and turned out products valued at $496,061,137. The growth for the five years since 1900 doubled the growth or the ten years previous. Right Handed Men. According to authorities from 85 to 95 per cent of the men in civilized lands are right-handed and have developed the low right shoulder. This, however, is no new phenomenon, for even the ancient Greek sculptors had noticed it and posed their subjects so as to make them appear more symmetrical Peat as Fuel. There is a strong organization at work in this country developing the use of peat as fuel. It is now utilizing many acres of swamp lands which are being reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The bi-products of the industry are very promising. A Prosperous Town. Waycross, Ga., with a population of 9,000, has no poorhouse, nine out of ten of the white population own their homes and 93 per cent of the children attend school. The saloon license has annually for the last 16 years been fixed at $30,000. New York City's Banks Twenty years ago the fact was made much of that New York City boasted one hundred banks and trust companies. Today, however, the greater city has no fewer than 212 institutions of this character. Greatest Heat and Cold. The greatest heat is never found on the equator, but some 10 degress to the north, while more severe cold has been registered in Northern Siberia than has been found near the Pole. Bolling Stones. The "Rolling Stones" of Australia placed on a fairly smooth surface, will soon roll together in a group. They contain a magnetic ore. Taken in Marriage. Men of talent generally fix upon ignorant and stupidish women for their wives; while stupid men almost invariably alight on clever women. English Predominates Two-thirds of all the letters which pass through the postoffices of the world are written by and sent to people who speak English. Taking into consideration the proportionate weight, the wing of a bird is twenty times stronger than the arm of a man. THE MARINER'S COMPASS Influences That Draw it From Its Allegiance to the Magnetic Pole. 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 compass 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 a 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 at opped or extracted, and if their claws protrude too far they can be daintily 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 Tit-Bits. Long Terma in Supreme Court Few members of the Supreme Court have exceeded the time Justice Harlan has served—thirty years. Justice Field 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. An Ancient Industry The industry of flint-making still thrives in Brandon, England. The flints are sent to Africa and other countries where the guns of 100 years ago are still in active servise. Progressive Chinese The Chinese are getting interested in the method of raising water by means of windmills for irrigating purposes. Hottentot Women. Among the Hottentots women hold a better position than they do anywhere else in Africa. The married woman reigns supreme mistresses. Tact. Tact is a wonderful invention. A man without tact is like an engine without oil. The Nile contains a greater variety of flah than any other body of water. Celluloid is a plastic material composed of guacotton and camphor. The average length of life of the Icelander is a little over 61 years.
