IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXII NO. 27 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY DECEMBER 9, 1911 WENDELL PHILLIPS And Centennial Oration AT METROPOLITAN CHURCH One of the most representatife and cultured audiences that has ever assembled in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, was on hand last Wednesday evening, November 29, ult., to listen to the address of Mr. Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. There has never been a speech that elicited the applause and enthusiasm as this speech. For five minutes the vast audience stood up and applauded, men waved their hats and handkerchiefs, and the ladies waved their fans, and at the conclusion of this masterly address the distinguished jurist had to respond twice to the encores. The speech in full is as follows. It was one of the happiest coincidences in history that the anti-slavery cause should have culminated during the very years that saw Wendell Phillips in the full maturity of his splendid powers. When the rebellion began, he was fifty years of age. For more than twenty years he had been discussing the slave question in all its bearings. He had studied and pondered it in all its phases. Every weapon in his arsenal was bright with service, and ready for instant use. His armor had been hardened by blows. His speech had acquired its perfection of form and was now to be charged with unexamined force. In 1861, as Moncurce Conway has justly recorded, he delivered the greatest speeches that ever have been heard in America. No man saw more clearly that the war could never be won and the Union restored except on the basis of freedom. The North might indeed overpower her adversary, but she could never make a Union between freedom and slavery. This was the burden of the prophet during those dreadful years of the warrior, 'filled with confused nose and garments rolled in blood.' It was his mission to rouse the North to support and to demand emancipation. In the nature of things it is impossible to separate and weigh the influence of any one man in the formation, of public opinion, that subtle, all-pervading force which, "like the air, is seldom heard but when it speaks in thunder," but that there was in all that period no more potent voice may safely be affirmed. When slavery had been abolished he was too deeply concerned with the dangers that lay ahead to join in the cheers of victory. He knew that the old hatred of the Negro would find new ways to work against him. He girded up his loins and pushed on to fight for enfranchisement. He was for taking advantage of the sentiment for freedom and equality while it lasted. He struck while the iron was hot. He worked while it was yet day, knowing that the night was coming wherein no man could work. From 1855 to 1870, the most alert and strenuous years of his life, he toiled night and day for the Fifteenth Amendment. He was right. The night has succeeded to the glorious day that gave us the three grand amendments, worthy to be written in letters of gold beside the petition of right and Magna Charta. The iron that was heated twice the table of the furnace of battle, was happily hammered before it was too late, into the forms that can easily be changed. But the glow is gone. A new generation has come upon the work, Selfishness, prejudice, the old spirit of caste, are doing their work, and the people that received the tables of stone, from the Mount that burned with fire and shook with the thunders of Jehovah, has turned to the worship of the golden calf and is taking its pleasure at the banquet. All this Phillips foresaw and foretold. Today not a State of the old confederacy records the Negro's vote. The Fifteenth Amendment is sneered at by millions in the North as the greatest blunder of the age. Today law journals publish labored articles to prove the amendment void. And yet what is the Fifteenth Amendment? What does it declare? Merely this, that a man's right to vote shall not depend upon his color or his race. The South is at liberty to make the right depend upon any test that can be applied to black and white alike—education, property, what she will, why need she resort to miserable subterfuges to let in her poor, ignorant and vicious whites, while she excludes even the virtuous, the learned and prosperous among the black? Is this the courage, is this the sense of fairness of the Anglo-Saxon race? The black race, in less than fifty years of freedom, has justified every claim of the abolitionists. It has shown itself brave in battle, faithful in peace, eager to learn, capable of acquiring and controlling wealth and able to produce noble and far-sighted leaders of its own blood. In spite of race prejudice and political betrayal, it has gotten its feet on the solid ground of material well-being, and is reaching out its hand with slow, patient but irresistible power to the great prizes of the world of effort and ideas. Its progress during the last half century will be one of the marvels of history. Every man who loves justice or humanity must rejoice at such a sight. The anti-slavery cause was only one branch of a movement that embraces the world and reaches through all time. It is the movement, of the common people to take possession of their own. Phillips was never narrow enough to have his heart bound up with one race only, or to sit down content with any partial triumph. Looking out over Christendom, he saw, as he said, "that out of some 300,000,000 or 400,000,000 at least 100,000,000 never had enough to eat." He saw the wealth of the world in the hands of comparatively few, and he saw that this wealth had been created not by the few, but by the many. With brave, unfinching logic, he announced his principle, "Labor, the creator of wealth, is entitled to all it creates," and avowed himself willing to follow it to its ultimate conclusion, to the utter abolition of the wage system and the substitution for cut-throat competition of a fair and just co-operation. He had begun his study of the labor question as early as 1801 or 1802, when no journal would give an inch of space to its discussion. But in 1871 the workingmen of Massachusetts had formed a party and invited him to be their candidate for Governor. He consented, not because he wished or was willing to be elected, if that were possible, but only to advance the agitation. To the laboring men he gave this characteristic advice: "Write on your ballot boxes: 'We never forget If you do us a wrong, you may go down on your knees and say, I am sorry I did the act, and it may avail you in heaven, but on this side the grave, never!'" So that a man in taking up this labor question will know that he is dealing with a hair-trigger pistol, and will say: "I must be true to justice and to man, otherwise I am a dead duck." And so far as workingmen have succeeded in their political aims, it has been because they have followed that advice. It would require another address to recount his services to other causes. In the last fifteen years of his life he fulfilled more perfectly than any other American his own definition of the agitator: "The agitator must stand outside of organizations, with no bread to earn, no candidate to elect, no party to save, no object but the truth—to tear a question open and riddle it with light." If he were living today, how he would rejoice over the six stars in the suffrage banner, six States that have risen above the bigotry of sex. How he would be fighting for the initiative and referendum and overthrowing every argument against them, arguments that have no foundation save in the old Tory distrust of the people. We have not begun to come up with Wendell Phillips, but such achievements are signs that we are on his trail. Not many men deserve to be remembered on their hundredth birthday. But Wendell Phillips' second centennial may be better observed than his first. We may be sure his name will be written far higher a hundred years hence than it is today. When the reforms he advocated have become accomplished facts; when cities have sloughed off the grog-shop and the brothel; when prisons have been turned into moral hospitals and society has learned to erect, a guide-post at the beginning of the road instead of a gallows at the end of it when women has been summoned into civil life and has become the yoke-fellow of man, no longer his plaything or his drudge; when the hands that create the wealth of the world have learned to hold it and to handle it for the good of all, and every child born in America has an even chance in life; when the dark-browed multitudes for whom he toiled and planned have joined the enfranchised millions that are yet to trample all oppression under their feet—do you think that in that day the name of Wendell Phillips is likely to be forgotten? If it is, it will be no matter. He will live in the grand changes that have been wrought, and that is all he would ever have desired. Whatever we may say tonight so you imagine it will be the judgment of coming times that he denounced the tyrants of his own age too severely- The word of the Lord came to him as the prophets in all ages, "Cry aloud, and spare not!" Thank God for every bitter, biting, blasting speech that woke a sluggard land to its duty and made the ears of recrant statement tingle with shame. Would that in this day another might arise like unto him to rebuke the cowards and oppressors of our time. Wrong still walks the earth, the expectation of the poor perishes, and the needy are forgotten. Oh, that he himself were here to defend the mighty bulwarks of liberty he labored to build up within the constitution! Oh, that he were here to shame his own race into honest dealing with the black—to lay open to scorn the sneaking贪 ignorance and vice the ballot and deny it to the black, not daring to meet its rival in the open field and butling behind grandfather clauses, and libraries and shuts him out from both. Oh, that he were here to damn as it deserves the hellish hatred that, North as well as South, condemns men unheard because they are black, tortures innocent and guilty at the stake, even in the Quaker commonwealth, drags the wounded black boy on his pallet and burns him in his blood; the shameless perpury, that acquires the fynchers; the impudence that unwritten law to clear cold-blooded murder with sanction of the court. Oh, that he were here to find some fitting name for states that, pretending to be democratic, hold seats in Congress for millions of black men whose political rights they have filled away, voting now, not as in old days for three-fifths of the Negroes. but for all. He should be here to pour contempt upon communities that [Portrait of a man in formal attire with a mustache and a high collar, set against a plain background]. JUSTICE WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD, The Exponent of Human Freedom and a Defender of the Constitution CHAPEL "Hear the weeping children, O my brothers. Ere the sorrow comes with years" the sudden dullness that suffers greed and cunning to strike hands and tax the bread and meat, the coal and the clothing of millions to fill the pocket-of a few! Oh, that he would come and unfrock those time-serving priests that have no word for the giant iniqurities of their day, dumb dogs that will not bark when the thief is climbing into the fold. Would that he might wield once more the fearful lash" that made bribed statesmen cringe and tremble and the backs of apostate judges - smart under their robes! But not to rebuke only, would that he were with us now to cheer and lead. Oh, for one blast upon that silver bugle worth a hundred men! The battle has moved onward; there are fighters in the field. It is not an hour for curse or lamentation. It is an hour for the consecration of knighthood, for vigil and for vow. We do not come to praise you, Wendell Phillips; you have received already your eternal great reward. We have come to catch the glow of your great spirit and resolve to make our lives like yours. Here where, a century ago, your life began, we are gathered to celebrate your coming with deep thanksgiving and with solemn joy, pledging ourselves anew to the grand purpose to which your life was devoted—a war against all oppression for the liberty of all!

Dr. Charles A. Tignor announces the removal of his office and residence to 473 Florida Avenue N. W. Telephone, North 7615. LEXINGTON HOTEL A Great Colored Hotel at Last The colored Americans are to have an up-to-date first-class hotel with every modern convenience with buffet, barbershop, kitchen, billard parlors, office, lobby and waiting room, automobile to convey guests to and from the Union Station, etc. A Long Felt Want Fulfiled. Xethoniel Ruffin, a well known citizen is sole manager. Ever since the foundation of this government the colored citizens of this city have been in need of a first class hotel where families and guests from other cities may go with impunity and with reservation. Thousands of the best and well known colored people have visited this city and do visit it now, but they have no place of dignity to go with their families and feel at home. Dr. Booker T. Washington, about a year ago made a special plea to the Negro Business League of this city to see it that a hotel be erected, for the accommodation of the colored people; that when he. Dr. Washington, comes to the city he is compelled to go to some private home. The Lexington Hotel. has been erected at the southwest corner of twenty-first and L streets, northwest. It is a beautiful three story edifice to contain every, modern convenience and accommodation for guests. The Front Entrance Will be on L St. The entrance to the Rathskeller will be on L street or main entrance leading to the basement. The Rathskeller will be fitted up equal to any in the United States. There will be a glass awning over there will be a glass diving over THE LEXINGTON HOTEL the L street entrance. The Buffet Cannot be Surpassed. The dining-room which will be large and commodious with a seating capacity for one hundred and fifty guests. The barber shop will be managed by a first class tonsorial artist with every modern convenience. The billard parlor, office, lobby and waiting room will be unsurpassed. The waiting parlor will be on the first floor, handsomely furnished. There Will be Thirty-Eight Large Airy Bed Rooms and Nine Baths. There will be at least two private bath rooms connected with the suite of rooms on the second and third floors. The Lexington Will be Conducted on the Basis of Any Up To Date First Class Hotel. needed in this city, for the accommodation of first class visitors and patrons will be one of the features of this hotel. The automobile will run to and from the Union Station to the hotel for the accommodation of the guests. This has been just what the city has needed for a long time for the Colored Americans, who visit here. Whenever a person intends to visit the city, a card to the manager of the hotel will be promptly responded to, and the guest or guests be driven immediately to the hotel in the hotel's automobile which will meet any train that comes into the Union Station or Steamboat wharf. The erection of this hotel in the city of magnificent distances will be an honor as well as a benefit to the colored people. Almost any city in the South has a first class hotel and the people in Washington have determined not to be behind in meeting the demands of strangers and visitors. Capital Stock. The company is incorporated with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, of this amount the company has decided to sell fifteen thousand dollars of it. A greater opportunity has never been offered the people of this city, who are enterprising and wish a good investment. The Sole Manager. is Mr. Nathaniel Ruffin, a well known citizen of Washington, who is known to the president of the United States, to the cabinet officers and other public men of character, and influence. He needs no introduction to the people, because he is prominently connected with some of the best, strongest, and leading organizations in the city. For honesty and integrity and influence among his people no better man could have been selected for the position of manager. The country is asked to keep its eyes on The Bee for advertisement and full particulars, of the opening of this new up-to-date hotel and for other particulars address Nathaniel Ruffin, manager, the Lexington Hotel, 21st and L street, N. W., Washington, D. C. She Had a Question. John Wanamaker, as superintendent of his large Sunday-school, had explained the lesson of the day to his school. Then he said: "Now, if any little one wants to ask a question I will be glad to answer it if I can." One little girl arrose, and Mr. Wanamaker said: "Good! Martha, I am glad to see you have a question. What is it?" "Please, Mr. Wanamaker, what is the price of those large wax dolls in your window?" PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.)

Rockefeller will have to pay their personal taxes as assessed by the city of New York. Mr. Carnegie will pay taxes on $10,000,000 as against $5,000,000 last year. Mr. Rockefeller will pay on $5,000,000 just twice last year's assessment. Mrs. Russell Sage, whose personal property has been assessed at $5,000,000 will pay on just half the original amount.

J., was awarded $500.00 damages in a suit against a moving picture show which sought to charge her 25 cents admission when the posted price was 5 cents. For the first time in the State of Georgia, a white man was convicted and paid the penalty for killing a Negro woman and her child. He confessed his crime, and the State declined to act on his case.

"Within the last ten years there has been in the United States $69,934 murders or an equivalent to the total population of Springfield, Mass. President Taft says: 'It is not too much to say that the administration of criminal law in this country is a disgrace to our civilization.'" The only home in America of John Paul Jones was marked appropriately by a bronze tablet and unveiled at the house where the famous American naval hero lived in 1775 in Fredericksburg, Va., and where he was appointed a lieutenant in the continental army. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, has sued the New York Times for $100,000 damages on the ground that his reputation had been injured, and public distrust has been engendered through the publication by the Times of a story that he was egged when he tried to lecture in Copenhagen October 24 last. Chas. H. Turpin, colored, was elected State constable in St. Louis, Mo. He was nominated in the direct primary over three white men by 157 votes. The new constable was born thirty-five years ago, in Georgia. The Salvation Army has representatives at work in forty-seven different countries, and issues forty-five periodicals, printed in twenty-one languages. Medical statistics prove that amputations are four times as dangerous after the age of fifty as before. There has been filed by Archie Hawkins, an attorney of Baltimore, a complaint against the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway for discriminations against colored passengers; last Monday, Attorney Ralph Robinson, who represented the defendants, admitted that discriminations existed, and that, his company would conform to any decision rendered by the commission, but that they objected to being made a scapegoat in the matter Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, made the government a present of nearly $3,000 by refusing to accept any salary which elapsed between his election as Senator last July and his taking the oath of office last week. The money was turned back into the Treasury.

Whistler's White Lock, As Jong as the name of James Me- Neill Whistler lives among those who saw him it will recall the famous white lock which stood out so conspicuously from the mass of his black hair.

On oceasions America treats its EyPSy monarchs with full rezal pomp, Matilda Stanley was accorded an al- most royal funeral in 1878 at Dayton, ©., where, ten years later, another queen was crowned with all proper ceremonial. In England, too, gypsy queens have received ull due honor. Esther Faa Blythe, who died in 1883, bad many members of the aristocracy on her visiting list, and she, too, had a regular coronation. But, on the whole, the gypsy has not had 2 very good time in England.

GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA.

The trees are most Interesting in structure. They reuch a height of 200 or 300 feet. It Is the largest tree ou the Island, and the branches often over- hang more than an acre of ground. Some of them are centuries old, dat- Ing back to the landing of the Span- fards. They have withstood the trop: feal winds of the region through the adaptation of their structure. The leaves aro very few, and there are heavy masses of roots. : This glant tree, lowers ouce a year. It bears a nutmber of pods mucli the size and shape of a cucumber. These pods dry and burst, and out floats the beautiful cream colored silk cotton, coverlug the ground and sulling in the air for some distance.

A highly enjoyable social function was a "Dutch Supper," given in honor of the visiting members of the theatrical profession last Saturday evening at the cosy St. Regis Cafe on Fourteenth street. The affair was "promoted" by Mr. Clarence Logan, the well-known booking agent, and it was the first of a series of "week-end reunions" of the player-folk said to be planned for the winter season. The menu, savoring of Emperor William's kingdom, with a Kentucky and Milwaukee mixture, was gotten up in admirable style by Manager Mercer, of the St. Regis. The toastmaster of the occasion was Mr. Rufus G. Byars, and he was "there with the bells on." with an inexhaustible fund of wit and humor. The speeches were of an unusually high order, and of an intensely practical nature. Among those who spoke and otherwise contributed to the merry-making occasion were Misses Ora Dunlap and Marion Potter, and Mr. Creighton Thompson, of the Aida Overton Walker company; Miss Effie King, of King and Gee: Mr. Andrew J.

FREEMAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION" DINES. Social Function of National Significance in Professional Life of Race. Separate National Organization in Sight — Prosperity Abounds and "Good Fellowship" on Tap Thanksgiving Night. Amud enthusiastic "huzzas" over the football games of the day, and the professional pride growing out of the large number of their brethren-with-the "pull" on hand to do the occasion honor, the annual dinner of the "Robert T. Freeman Dental Association" was held on Thanksgiving night at the palatial Gaskins' Cafe, 320 Eighth Street Northwest. Covers were laid for fifty, and besides the entire foster of Washington dentists, many out-of-town bearers of the "D. D. $." degree were present. A finer looking, jollier or a more prosperous appearing set of gentlemen of the race never placed their feet beneath a mahogany in the District of Columbia. Howard University graduates were there in large numbers, and Lincoln, Shaw, Meharry and other institutions enjoying dental departments were well represented. The Howardlites gave their former "prexy," Dr. C. Sumner Wormley an ovation that made the welkin ring. The event was of truly national significance. Many States were in evidence, and it was hinted by more than one of the orators who spoke that the time is fast approaching when the highest interests of the dentists of the country will be best subserved by the formation of a separate national association, with an annual convention where only dental tonics are discussed. The menu was up to the well-known Gaskins standard, which means the best that the market affords, and to say that the guests "did ample justice" to the good things provided, puts the case but mildly. Dr. C. C. Fry, the newly-elected president, opened the festivities, and Dr. W. E. Hamilton acquitted himself with distinction as toastmaster. Wit and wisdom flowed freely, and the orators soared toward the Parnassian heights at will, and traced in the blue empirean visions that not even the famed ABOUT Hot Drinks Do you know that hot drinks at the soda fountain are growing rapidly in popular favor? that is, good, well seasoned, well made hot drinks, the use steaming hot, appetizing and ap- e e p am All the favorite hot drinks that satisfy our marrow. us summer drinks are served all s and you will meet all your friends in GUIRE, Druggists North Street Northwest Streets Northwest Best Work PRINTING CO.

A graphic history of the "Robert T. Freeman Dental Association," fittingly named in honor of the first colored dentist to practice in the District of Columbia, was presented by Dr. J. E. Washington. Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, dean of the Dental Department of Howard University, gave a luminous description of the rapid strides that are being made at that institution in modern dental equipment and in the quality and quantity of graduates turned out year by year, who are making fame and fortune all over the land. Through them and the men from the other splendid institutions, Dr. Wormley saw the foundation of a National Dental Association. The number, prosperity and specific needs of the profession will soon make such an organization a possibility and an accomplished fact. Optimistic addresses were delivered by nearly all of the guests, and the messages of cheer will be long remembered] It was an exchange of pleasing experiences—a veritable family reunion—that all enjoyed most heartily. Among the visiting dentists were Drs. Slowe, of Philadelphia; Smith, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Lewis, Harrisburg, Pa.; Lassiter and Johnson, Newport, News. Va.; Jones and Baker, Baltimore, Md.; Arnold, Wilmington, Del.; Lawrence, Chester, Pa.; Jackson, Providence, R. I.; Jefferson, Norfolk, Va.; Sutherland, Orange, N.

Sey es os WHISTLER AND MOORE. Two Versions of the Famous Caning Incident at the Drury Lane ‘Theater. It was in his capacity as editor of the Hawk that ‘the late -\usustus Moore, a journalist and playwright of no Httle notoriety, enacted an unre- bearsed comedy with Whistler that created no end of a sensation at the time. It heppened in the vestibule of Drury Lane on the first night of the production ef “A Millon of Money.” Whistler, it appeared. had been an- noyed at sundry references to himself in the Hawk and, coming up to Gus Moore, who was calmly smoking a cigarette, struck Lim across the face with ao cane. A strucele followed, and, , although opinions varied as to the ac- {tual course of the conflict, there was yno doubt about Whistler having ulti- imately to pick himself up from the floor. Each of the protagonists afterward gave his version of the incident. “I started out,” said Whistler, “to cane ‘this fellow with as little emotion as I srould prepare to Killa rat. I didcane him to the satisfaction of my many friends and his many enemies, afd that was the end of it.” “I am sorry,” ‘wrote Mr. Moore for bis part, “but I have had to slap Mr. Whistler, My Irish blood got the better of me, and before I knew it the shriveled up Uttle ‘oonkey was knocked over and kick- ing about on the floor.” . The notion, however, that he was kmocked down was characterized by Whistler as “a barefaced falsehood.” He contended that Mr. Moore never touched him. “I am sure,” he added, “I don’t know why, for‘he is a,much tigger man than I, My Sdea Is that he wag thoroughly cowed by the moral force of my attack. I bad to turn him around fn order to get at tim.

CARRYING PIG IRON. | The Way Scientific Study Increased | Results and Wages. | SSIS Sew aye No work seems wore simple, more unlikely to be subject to scientific study, than the art of carrying pig fron. This, however, has been sub- jected to the most careful scientific study. 3fen at Bethlehem, Pa., were Joading pig fron on cars at the rate of about twelve tons a day. Certain pig handlers were given extra wages for doing this work under special direc; tion. An attempt was made to ascer, tain the relation between the ‘amount of horsepower which each man exert ed and the fatigue which he fncurred. Long continued experiment furnished & vast amount of information. but ap- parently no Jaw. Finally F. W. Tay- lor, who was conducting the experi- ments, handed the data over to an associate who was apt at mathemat!- eal problems. Very soon be reported that he had discovered the law—that fatigue varied in proportion to a cer- tain relation between the amount of Joad and the period of rest—for exam- ple, 2 man carrying a ninety-two pound Pig had, in order to avoid fatigue, to be at rest 58 per cent of the time. The discovery of this law involved a great. amount of data, Including certain phys- Jological facts concerning the poison ous effects of waste tissue upon the blood and difficult mathematic formu- la, including the plotting of curves. ‘As a result the pig handlers were dl- rected exactly how to lift and carry thelr loads and when to rest, and the amount of pig fron handled by each man every day increased’ from twelve and a half tons to forty-seven. Of course the men received a great ad- vance in wages.—Ernest Hamlin Ab- bott in Outlook, Plumber. Mulligan, the contractor, put up a ehureh building.

And He Had a Sign Out to Let His Rival as Well as His Neigh: Lora: Know: 7 In a little settlement on the outskirts of Chicago two houses stand out more boldly than the rest. These two are the domiciles of two Italians of means, who, although being very ignorant men, vied with each other for the social leadership of the locallty. One day a newcomer, in search of temporary lodyings, attracted by a conspicuous sin in the window of the first of these two houses, stepped to the door to make inquiry. # _ “I see you lmve furnished rooms here,” he said to the swarthy man who answered his knock. . “Ya,” rejoined the forelgner, pojnt- ing to the furnished room sign, “dere's da sign.” . “Well. {f you have one that’s suitable I'd like to rent it for awhile.” “We no rent da rooms,” was the be- wildéring declaration. “I got my fam- ily in here, and dey take up .all da house.” ‘ “Don’t rent any rooms? Why, then, have you that sign stuck in the win- dow?" “L'll tell you. Las’ week dat fellow ‘next door hang such a sign in his front window, an’ we'n I see dat I put one of da same kind in my front window, Just to show da people dat he ain't only man in dis place dat have his rooms furnished!"—Judge’s Library. SEEING THE FAR EAST. It Should Be Viewed Threugh the Bi- ble and “Arabian Nights.” The best books on the east, as every one knows, are the Bible and the “Ara- Dian Nights,” and yet I found most travelers were saturating themselves with snippity descript.ons of monu- ments and places, with tabloids of his+ tory, with technical paragraphs on ar- chitecture und the ethnic religions, with figures about the height of this and the length of that or condensed statistics of exports and imports and the tonnage through the Suez canal and dates about the Pharaohs and the Mughals. No wonder they sce nothing, know nothing, enjoy nothing and come home bringing a few expletives, adjec- tives and photographs which can be had for a small price in either New York or Londan, The first thing to do in going to ‘the east is to turn your education out on your desk so that you can get at the bottom of it,.and ther@ you will find the Bible and the “Arabian Nights" and the “Odyssey” and “Iliad” and “Virgil” and “Ileredotus" and “Xeno- phon,” and you will reallze what a foo! you were not to hare devoted more time ta them when you were asked to do so. Guide books can get you to the east, but they do not get you inside. It is temperament, not trains, that counts—Price Colller in Scribner's Magazine. Perfumes. Civet f an aromatic substance of the consistence of honey and is ob- tained from a péuch om the civet cat, an animal from two to three feet long and about ten or twelte inches high. The best known of antmal odors is musk, which is obtained from .the musk deer. China furnishes the best quality. Twenty-five pods or sacks are packed in oblong boxes composed of plates of lead inclosed in a caddy made of pasteboard. Musk is obtain- ed from Assim, Siberia, the Altai mountains and other parts of northern Asia. Ambergris ts another animal odor. It is secreted in the intestines of the spermaceti whale. A very curi- ous fact Js that ambergris is only ac- cumulated by disease—that is, it 1s only secreted in a sick whale. It ts very hard, of a ight gray color and is found in quantities varying from twen- ty to fifty pounds. It is worth about £6 an ounce.—London Standard, Mucilace and Gurr. “I went Into a stationer’s shop In London one day.” said an American, “and said to the shop assistant: “Do you keep mucilage?’ “No, sit” the young man answered. “We try to take in all the papers, but there are so many new ones coming out. Still, I can order mucilage for you, sir. Which number did yon want?” “I learned afterward that I shonld have asked for gum. They don't have the word ‘mucllaze’ over there tr Eng- land. “But an Englishman traveling on one of our railways stopped a train boy and sald: ““Have you got any gum?’ “*‘No; I don't use it, boss,' the boy replied in friendly fashion, ‘but I can let you have a chaw off this here plug.’”"—Washington Star. a —_—_——___—.
