Are we, like knaving cowards, to sit idly by and such our fingers and make goo-goo eyes at each other while our newly-arrived enemies shall continue to poison the minds of our friends and to crowd us nearer and nearer the pit of oblivion, ostracism and degradation? What has the black man of Kansas done which should bring down upon his head all the ills to which the ingenuity of race prejudice can produce? Sure, enough, the blackman of Kansas has made a law abiding and peaceable citizen, but is this harmful? It cannot be denied by the black man of the state of Sunflowers that he is thrifty, hard-working, frugal, honest and a lover of home and home comforts, but wherein is this wrong? Then again, no man who knows the history of the black man at Kansas, will deny that he has an ever-abiding ambition to educate his children, and not only does he crave to educate them but insists that they have like opportunities and facilities to obtain an education which is given the children of any other people. But pray tell me, should the black man of Kansas be condemned or commended for this? Yet with all this, black man, whither are we bound? In the legislative hall where once resounded the unanimous vote of the early pioneer legislators as they proclaimed to the world that in Kansas, yes, bleeding Kansas, merit and not race or color wins. We find the latter day legislators who proclaim to the world that in Kansas, yes, bleeding Kansas, the texture of a man's skin and not merit wins. Black man of Kansas, whither are we bound? And yet we are told that there is no cause for alarm. Black man of Kansas, you who have labored, you who have fasted, you who denied the body those comforts of life; yes, all this that you might better enable yourself and family to live a peaceable, happy and contented life, enjoying those liberties of life by which nature and nature's God entitles you. Indeed, not only those liberties which nature and nature's God entitles you, but likewise those liberties which the laws of our beloved Kansas give you, and which liberties are more precious than gold and more dear than life. Say, black man of Kansas, are you to see them snatched from you forever and forever, and not even make one complaint? No. Ten thousand times No! No!! No!!! The black man of Kansas must rise in the fulness of his might and make one united, righteous, manly, peaceful and decisive stand for his God-given rights that will shake Kansas from her four corners, and the glad echoes will set the world to the right and will even reach the portals of Heaven and carry the glad tidings from sea to sea, from land to land, and from nation to nation, that the black man has taken a firm and unflinching stand for his manhood rights. If we do not, then, black man of Kansas, whither are we bound? WICHITA, KANSAS OCT 21 1905 GENERAL CHAFFEE HOME; VIEWED FRENCH ARMY KOMURA REACHES JAPAN: NO ENTHUSIASM SHOWN ORGANIZED LABOR CONTROLS TRUST SAVINGS BANK Washington, Oct. 18. — Lieutenant General Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff of the United States army, resumed his duties in the war department after an absence of several weeks in Europe, where he went to attend the maneuvers of the French army. In speaking of the maneuvers General Chaffee said that there were 80,000 French troops in the maneuvers, and spoke in the highest terms of the evolutions. "The French army," General Chaffee said, "is a conscripted army, all citizens being subject to military duty for a certain time. In these circumstances he was surprised at the cheerfulness, manifested by the entire army. They had to work hard, too, being called out as early as 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, and being on duty until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After that a large portion of the troops were obliged to march out as far as eighteen miles to the towns and villages where they were billed. Billing of troops is something that is entirely unknown in the United States, but it is the system in Tokio, Oct. 18.—Baron Komura, the foreign minister, who acted as chief plenipotentiary for Japan, arrived here from Vancouver, B. C., October 3. His reception at the railroad station was not enthusiastic, those present being principally government dignitaries. The streets were strongly guarded by troops, police and gendarmes. The baron drove to the Palace in an imperial carriage. The emperor showed exceptional honors to Baron Komura by dispatching to Yokohama, where he landed from Empress of India, Col. Inouye, his majesty's aide-de-camp, who went alongside the steamer in a dispatch boat and brought Komura ashore, Baron Komura landed at the imperial enclosure. While the baron was on his way to Tokyo by train, Colonel Chicago, Oct. 18. — The Chicago Union Bank was sacrificed on the altar of frenzied finance at a meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor. By an overwhelming vote the delegates laid on the table a report submitted by a banking committee in favor of establishing and supporting such an institution. Before the proposition was smothered it was raked fore and aft by a galling fire from many speakers; financial schemes were linked with graft and banking was declared entirely outside the sphere of organized labor. The banking scheme was brought to the attention of the delegates in a report from a committee LAND FRAUD CONVICTIONS. Jones and Potter Found Guilty of Conspiracy at Portland Portland, Ore., Oct. 17.—Shortly after midnight, after a session of the United States court which lasted all day Saturday and far into the evening, the jury in the case of the United States against Willard N. Jones, former representative in the state legislature; Thaddeus Potter, a local attorney, and Ira Wade, a timber locater, returned a verdict finding Jones and Potter guilty of conspiracy to defraud the United States of a part of its public domain. Wade was acquitted. The charge against the defendants was that they secured persons to locate on lands in the Siletz Indian reservation, in Western Oregon, and to falsely swear that they had occupied the land, when as a matter of fact the land was secured for the benefit of the defendants. It is understood that the jury agreed upon the verdict against Jones and Potter on the first ballot, but that it required three ballots to come to an agreement on Wade. France. Every town and village with in a radius of more than 18 miles of the maneuvers had troops billed upon them. The officers of the quartermaster's department go into town and placard the different houses, showing that so many men of such a company and regiment are to be located on the premises. Quarters must be found on such premises for the men, where they can sleep and eat. General Chaffee remarked the small amount of sickness, and even under the hard strain of marching there was little trouble from sore feet, which so often afflicts other troops. The French army, he said, has not yet adopted the Khaki uniforms, but continue to wear the showy uniforms that have been in vogue for many years. They look very smartly and picturesque, but to the soldier they do not seem to present the solidity of the men in the uniform of the United States army. General Chaffee denied the report that he declined an invitation to dine with King Edward while in England, saying that he had not received such a one. IES JAPAN; USIASM SHOWN Inoye constantly kept at Komura's side, and on arrival here they drove together to the palace in an imperial carriage, sent from the household stables. The emperor cordially received Baron Komura and during the audience, which lasted over an hour, it is believed the baron made a full verbal report to the emperor of the course of the peace negotiations, emphasizing President Roosevelt's efforts in behalf of peace. At the close of the audience the emperor honored the baron with a written personal message, highly prized by Japanese statesmen. The message expressed satisfaction at the fact that peace was concluded and commended Komura's able services as shown during the negotiations. CONTROLS UST SAVINGS BANK recommending that the proposed bank be given the moral support of the federation and that a committee of three be appointed to put the plan through The report announced that a corporation known as the Commonwealth Trust and Savings Bank at Chicago had been organized with a capital stock of $2,000,000 divided into shares of par value of $5 each. The chief aim in organizing the bank, it was announced, was to make the trades union of Chicago the controlling factor in the management of the institution and with this object in view the bank's by-laws provide that organized labor at all times shall have a majority on the board of directors. FALL RIVER WAGE ADVANCE. More Money Promised the 25,000 Cotton Operatives. Fall River, Mass., Oct. 17. — It is understood in manufacturing circles here that within a short time the Fall River Cotton Manufacturers' Association will grant an advance in wages to the operatives of whom there are now upward of 25,000 employed in association mills. No official action fixing the amount of the advance has been taken, but it is expected an announcement will be made during the week. Last Sunday the textile council vited to request the restoration on October 23 of the scale which prevailed prior to the cut of 12-12 per cent made on July 25, 1904. While the majority of the manufacturers favor an advance either on that date or a week later, many of them are of the opinion that the mills are not yet able to pay an increase of 12-12 per cent, and advocates a half way step, with the understanding that no further advance will be considered until next spring. In the September number of the Voice of the Negro there appears an article from the pen of Prof. Kelly Miller with the caption "Achievements of the Negro Race" which deserves the careful consideration of a social economists. It is the duty of the colored press to show other races as well as their own what the Negro race has achieved during the time it has been in contact with the European in all parts of the globe. Mr. Miller has accomplished this in his very able article. He starts out with the premises, "The individual is the proof of the race, the first fruit and unfoldment of its potency and premises." He advocates strongly the holding up to the Negro child examples of great men and women of his own race—the highest and best exponents of his own race. "While," he says, "senseless panegyric and extravagant laudation disgust the sane and grieve the cautious, yet judicious glorification of their own is the common practice of every people who have made or are making for the highest place in the world's affairs." Speaking generally at first, Mr Miller claims for the Negro that the first achievement to be placed to his credit, under the heavy handicap of his environment, is that hy is rapidly recruiting his own professional class The census of 1900 gives 47,824 colored persons engaged in the higher professions. They are designated as actors, architects, artists, olergymen, dentists, electricians, engineers, journalists, lawyers, literary and scientific persons, musicians, government officials, physicians and surgeons teachers and professors. "The bare fact that a race beginning at the zero point forty years ago has been able to produce a professional class of some 50,000 strong is an indication of progress and promise more striking than any other people ever manifested in the history of human culture." After pointing out persons of African blood in line with names of the very first rank namely Toussaint L'Overture of Hayti, Alexander Pashkin of Russia and Alexander Dumas of France. Mr Miller proceeds to ```markdown ``` give his readers a list of Afro-Americans who have their names written in history, and he picked out these: Phylis Wheatley, 1761 born in Africa, brought to this country as a slave, bought by a kind master, John Wheatley of Boston, educated, and who amply repaid all trouble bestowed upon her. She was the first poetess of the race, the correspondent of George Washington, peers peeresses and clergymen of England, which letters are now a treasured possession of the Massachusetts Historical society. Benjamin Banneker of Maryland, the renowned horologist, as tronomer and almanac maker, 1731 to 1806. Lemuel Hayes, one of the most popular preachers in Vermont, where he labored thirty years; he was noted for subtle in tellect, keen wit, and eager thirst for knowledge. One of his sermons passed through ten editions Ira Aldridge, another Maryland product who ranked in England and on the continent of Europe as one of the greatest tragedians of his time, and who was literally loaded down with decorations and orders bestowed upon him. He was a personal friend of Dumas, who always greeted him with the words "mon confrere" which means a closer intimacy than "my comrad." Aldridge died in Poland in 1867. Col. Geo. W. Williams as the historian of the race has placed it under a deep obligation, as his history of the Negro race is the sole authority en that subject. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, still a man under 40, who has produced poems which place him in the ranks of the poets of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. Henry O. Tanner, the artists, whose latest great painting, "The Raising of Lazarus" has just been purchased by the French government and will find a place in the Lonvre amongst the other masterpieces of ancient and modern masters. Dr. Daniel H. Wiliams of Chicago, who has performed operations that taxed the skill of surgical science, and who is likewise the author of valuable treatise in medical journals. Chas. W.

Explanation Sets The Whole Christian People Thinking He Has A Right To Explain-And This He Does In A Very Forceable Letter, ie ee ee ‘To the Editor of the Wichita Search- light: Dear Sir—Kindly allow me space in your paper to make an explanation of why I was excluded from membership of the 2nd Baptist church of Wichita, Kansas. T was excluded from the chureh on account of certain charges and com-. plaints contained in a letter which they claim I wrote to the Baptist Con~ vention which met in Great Bend, Kan, a few weeks ago. In this letter it was charged that Rey. S. M. Hall, pastor of the 2nd Bap~ tist church, was an unfit minister to ead our people as his conduct has been. ‘unbecoming a minister, a gentleman and a Christian man. ‘There is evidence at hand to prove that during the attack of illness of Rev. S. M. Hall last winter that his disease was such that no decent min- ister or Christian people could uphold. If the disease of whieh he was af- flictea with was of no uncommon nature, why did he not call to his aid fone of the three colored doctors it ‘Wichita? ; Because myself and others spoke of this most disgraceful condition of a minister of the gospel and the pastor of one of our leading churches, I was excluded from the church. My exclusion was accomplished by unfair means and without even giving me an opportunity to be heard in my own defense. In the Great Bend letter, which is charged to me, the Association was appealed to not permit such a-man as S. M. Hall to preside over it and the ‘Association took cognizance of the let~ ter to such an extent that Rey. S. M. Hall was removed as moderator. T say and state with authority that 8. M. Hall is an unfit man to preside over our people and should be removed from the head of the chureh at the earliest possible date. ‘This wolf In sheep's clothing bas broken into a man's family circle and brought sorrow and estrangement to a ‘once happy and contented home; and because a few members were bold enough to tell Hall of his filth and dirt to his face he had them excluded from the church. es It is the duty of any church who has such a character as S. M. Hall at their head to dethrone him at the earliest possible date to save the honor of their church; and install a Christian minis- ter and a gentleman. T appeal to the people at large not to give their support to a man of the stripe of S. M. Hall. He ts a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and a despoiler of happy homes. It is all right to help the church—to buy other lots and build, but the peo- ple owe it to themselves not to sanc- tion such a man as'8, M.

Last Resting Places of All But One Are Known. Church authorities state that the remains of the apostles of Christ are now in the following places: Seven are in Rome, namely, Peter, Philip, James the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias and Simon. Three are in the kingdom of Naples—Matthew (at Salerno). Andrew (at Amalfi) and Thomas (at Ortano). Ors is in Spain—James the Greater, whose remains are at St. Jago de Composa, tella. Of the body of St. John the Evangelist, the remaining one of the twelve, there is no knowledge. The Evangelists Mark and Luke are also in Italy—the former at Venice and the latter at Padua. St. Paul's remains are believed to be in Italy. Peter's are, of course, in the church of Rome which is called after him, as are also those of Simon and Jude Those of James the Lesser and Philip are in the Church of the Holy Apostles; Barttholomew's in the church on the island in the Tiber called after him; Matthias's are in the Santa Maria Maggiore, under the great altar of the renowned Basilica. MARRIAGE AMONG THE HINDOOS. Considered by Them as Permanent Spiritual Relation. The relation of a Hindoo husband to his wife is not like a contract sanctioned by the court of justice, but it is a permanent spiritual relation which binds two souls together. A wife is regarded, therefore, as a true helpmate in the spiritual progress of the soul life of her husband, while a faithful husband is considered to be the greatest blessing in the earthly and spiritual career of his wife. When she becomes a mother she represents divine motherhood and holds a unique position in the household. A Hindoo mother is actually worshiped as a living goddess by her children. The children are taught to obey their parents implicitly and to serve them like earthly deities as long as they live. To support the parents in their old age, to look after their welfare and to fulfill their desires, are the duties of children in every Hindoo household. But a mother is considered to be "greater than a thousand fathers." French Fond of Vegetables. Vegetables are great features in French households, and neither potatoes, beans, peas nor cauliflowers are ever served plainly boiled. Cauliflower cut into small pieces and served with a rich bechamel sauce is a favorite dish, and potatoes and carrots cut in rounds are often cooked in the same way, while beans and peas are greatly improved by the addition of a little butter, salt and pepper. They stew pears to perfection, whole, in syrup, peeled and with the stalks left on. After they are thoroughly cooked they are put on a sieve to dry and cool, and the syrup is cooked a little more, a little red wine being added and sometimes lemon peel to flavor it. For the Amateur Photographer. "Grain" is the enemy of the photographer who interests himself in copying. The best means of obviating its appearance is to "light" the picture evenly, but this not being always possible, expedients are necessary. One is to cover the space between the picture and lens with tissuepaper; another (if the picture is unmounted), to moisten the print and press it into contact with a sheet of glass, while frequently the application of encaustic paste will reduce in a very marked degree the "grainy" appearance of the print.—London Answers. A Medical Estimate of Prayer. At the recent annual meeting of the British Medical association Dr. Theodore B. Hyslop, superintendent of Bethlem Royal hospital, a specialist in neurology and in the treatment of mental disease, said: "As an alienist and one whose whole life has been concerned with the sufferings of the mind, I would state that of all hygienic measures to counteract disturbed sleep, depressed spirits and all the miserable sequels of a distressed mind, I would undoubtedly give the first place to the simple habit of prayer."—The Outlook. Scent as Cure for IIs. Scent as Care for this. Everybody knows in this country that the fumes of camphor and ammonia will benefit certain ills. And, by the same sign, the inhalation of certain scents will cure nervousness and other scents will cure headaches and indigestion. Those who are enthusiasts on the subject say that you can cure everything in the world if you will use the right odor for it. The Bridegroom's Query. "I haven't the slightest objection to your giving all your time to the dog my own, but I wish you had made it quite clear when you suggested bringing it, whether it was you and I who were going on our honeymoon, and were bringing the dog, or whether it was you and the dog who were bringing me." -New Yerk World.

Here is a gory scene from Hallwell Sutcliffe's new novel, "Red o' the Feud." The scene is in England, the time in the indefinite past and the weapon used for the killings is called a "foster-brother," a kind of pole-ax: "He turned, to find Red Ratcliffe out of saddle, standing ... the top of his six feet four inches of height and holding the ax in his two brawny hands, while he swayed it gently to and fro. What followed passed with the speed of a tempest fung from the belly of a clear blue sky. Wayne of Ludworth got his sword out somehow and leaped back; before his friends could get to him Red Ratcliffe had run forward, had parried his first wild sword thrust as one turns aside a bramble in one's path, had lifted foster-brother high and higher yet, swinging it like a fall above his head.

ETO·DAY Wayne of Ludworth's day was done, and Red Ratcliffe, with little time to spare if the oncoming Waynes were to be met, set his two feet firmly on the ground and tugged and tugged at the ax, where it lay in Wayne's big skull, and wrenched it loose in the nick of time. The stripling Wayne, lighter of foot than his kinsman, had outpaced him, and his sword was per- iously near to Ratcliffe, when at last he wrenched the ax-head free and swung it high again; once more the sword was turned aside, lightly as with contempt, and foster-brother whistled as it cut the air. "Shameless Wayne was close in now and made a desperate leap to save the lad; his fore foot lit upon a patch of offal in the road and he stumbled under the haft of the big ax as it turned and whistled down the wind and bit the stripling through the bone. Fair on the crown Shameless Wayne caught half the blow as it descended—and the haft, with thick steel at its core, was weighty—and like a log he rolled beside his fallen kinsman."

A goodly number was present and quite an interesting meeting was held. Sr C. C. was with us and made a very important remarges for which we feel very grateful. We, as the Rebecca Tabernacle, N. 11, are always ready to re- relieve something that will do us good. Our board of Hespers made a fine report for which we all are pleased. May the Lord be with our Hespers, may he ever bless them and all other members of the order. And when we meet it seems as though we were meeting in the house of the Lord, rather than a Tabernacle hall. We thank our board of Cyrene for the way in which they look after our sick. May the Lord be with them. May He give them health and strength that they may be able to perform their duty whenever called upon for without the aid of the Lord nothing is accomplished.

July, which takes its name from Julius Caesar, has thirty-one days, and Augustus, who completed the calendar, declined to submit to the indignity of seeing his own month branded with the inferiority of one day less. The astronomers had accordingly to reshuffle the lunar cards, and after some perplexity hit upon the expedient of shearing twenty-four hours from February's glory in order that August might face the world on a footing of perfect equality with July. THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES One Follows the Other, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pins Quickly Cure Both. The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis, Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seamstresses are among the classes most attuned to the way with the loss of their manner to earn a living. The following instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs. O.S. Blacksten, of No. 584 North Bowman street, Mausfield, Ohio, says: "For years my hands would become so numb at times that I would drop anything I attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that I could not see my longer, and at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the pricking sensations would come on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that I dreaded to go to bed. My family doctor gave me some nerve tablets. They helped me a little, but only for a short time after I had taken them and if I happened to be without them for a day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally I got a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began to take them. "The result was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now all right. I can sleep undisturbed by pain, and for two years I have been as well as ever." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed the nerves by making new, rich blood and in this way have cured nervous diseases of every description from simple restlessness to paralysis. They have banished the tortures of neuralgia, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and awful pain of locomotor ataxia. They are sold by all druggists or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT THE SEARCHLIGHT Wichita, Kansas, Saturday Oct 21, 05 A "hopeful feeling" is reported from Wall street. The lambs must be straying back. Of course the true answer to the question, "Why do men wear corsets?" is that men do not. New York is to have an elegant new hotel, eighteen stories high—with prices, no doubt, to match. Before we decide that the corset is not a good thing for men to wear, let us see how ——— looks in one. "If you are well, don't talk about it," says an adviser of the people. Correct! And if you are sick, forget it! A note announcing a suicide has been found in a bottle. The bottle contains the reason for many a suicide. A contemporary asks, "What is a sweet girl?" Can't answer; wife is looking over shoulder.—New York Herald. To the Occidental ear an animated conversation between an Austrian and a Hungarian sounds in itself like an overt act of war. Tidings from Manchuria are rather meager. All the same, the two great armies are busy breaking camp and moving toward home. Baron de Forest is said to contemplate founding an empire in the Sahara, though the desert is notoriously a bad place for Forests. Now that the peace envoyes have gone New Hampshire learns with pain that even a premature snowstorm does not draw attention its way. "He that maketh haste to be rich," said Solomon, "shall not be innocent." Things do not seem to have changed much since Solomon's time. Several members of the Cornell football squad have suffered sunstrokes. The hardships of college life are not to be lightly considered. The per capita consumption of tea in England is six pounds a year—without prejudice to various other beverages that are strong favorites there. Candidates are so called because they were originally clad in white, you wouldn't think it, to see the bunch that comes forth every year in polities. Only two presidents of the United States have been married while in office, chiefly probably because so many of them were married before they got elected. Love is now to be legally recognized in French marriages, under the revised code. Heretofore, it has usually developed later, and then with some other person. It ought to be easy to decide the case of bigamy of John Grady, one of whose wives loves him and the other does not. Hand him over to the one who does not. In spite of all the costly styles of garments shown at the dressmakers' convention the good husband will do his best to wear a straight and unwrinkled front. St. Louis argues that a man who spends $25,000 a year ought to pay taxes. Not necessarily. We shouldn't have any money left for taxes after spending $25,000 a year. When Envoy Witte completed his tour of New York he remarked: "Everywhere is advertising. All is advertisment." Right you are, M. Witte! And just notice how it pays! All the cats in Farmington, Mass., are to be killed on account of a diphtheria epidemic. Doubtless all the town mice are already inviting their country cousins to visit them. Prof. de Martens of the late peace conference says that American girls are pretty, but American cooking is abominable. And yet they say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Mr. Carnegie offers half the cost of a laboratory at Smith, because he thinks that women should be up on biology. That they are up on buyology, observers at any of the bargain sales can testify. The full-rigged ship from Parrsboro, N. S., bound for Buenos Ayres, that collided with a monster whale, must have greatly surprised the whale. The ship has put into Bahia for repairs. The whale has not reported yet. An English judge has ordered a woman to pay for ducks' eggs that she got when she merely ordered eggs. Any old eggs are eggs, he says; they don't have to be manufactured by a hen. Would he insist that she pay for sparrows' eggs, or mosquitoes', for eggsample? "She came into the professional field like a skylark at the age of twenty-four," writes the enthusiastic press agent of the prima donna. We don't think we should care about listening to a skylark at the age of 24. "Full Mall" Cargo. When an Atlantic steamship has on board what is called a "full mail" she is carrying about 200,000 letters and 300 sacks of newspapers to London alone, besides large quantities for other places. Heaviest Rainfall. The heaviest rainfall of short duration ever recorded accurately is said to have been the recent one at Santiago de Cuba. An English engineer found the rate to be more than four inches an hour. Blacklist of Drunkards All Honolulu drunklists have been officially blacklisted, so that they may be refused drink in the saloons. A correspondent states—that "nearly all on the list are steamship men." But if Honolulu's blacklist law does not work better than London's the mariners have no need for alarm. Municipal Garages. Leeds, England, has established a municipal department for the maintenance of automobiles. There the city council provides motor vehicles for its lighting and tramway committee, a motor-driven derrick, a motor van, motor omnibuses and various other conveyances. Chinese Learning Spinning. Six young Chinamen are among the pupils of the New Bedford, Mass., textile school, having been sent to this country to learn all about the making of cotton fabrics. The purpose in this procedure is to expedite China's industrial development. Not only will their government expect them to develop their own talents to the best advantage, but their services will be required in imparting to others less favored than themselves a knowledge of modern methods of spinning and weaving cotton. Russians and Paradise Lost. A letter from Maurice Baring to the editor of the Sphere says: "Paradise Lost" is to the Russian peasant a fairy tale having the authority of Scriptural writ. The true analogy to the reason of the popularity of "Paradise Lost" in Russia would be the popularity of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" in England, only it is curious that the Russians should have alighted on "Paradise Lost." The language, religious and exalted, reminds them, of course, of what they hear in church; but the thing they like most about it is that they think it is true-like children with fairy tales." An Old Engineer's Record. Anthony Kelker, of Fort Wayne not long ago retired from the service of the Pennsylvania railroad at the age of 70. He had been an engineer for nearly half a century and during that time had traveled a distance equal to 100 times around the world. About 3,000,000 passengers had been under his care and he never had even a serious accident. He is now landscape gardener at Winona park. Fort Wayne, a place for which he is well fitted, having given much study to the art of gardening. MORE POTENT THAN BEAUTY. Something Is More Attractive in Women Than Beauty. The fact that many plain women have handsome husbands has often been a subject of comment. The explanation (according to a thoughtful lady writer) is not far to seek. Many women have that subtle quality known as charm without possessing physical beauty. The fascination of personality outweighs that of a merely beautiful face or figure. Very slight things—a tone, a look, the readiness to please by a trifling self-denial—often capture a man's affections. It does not occur to him to think whether the woman who attracts him is plain or handsome. Something in herself more subtle and less showy than her looks has called him to her. COFFEE NEURALGIA. Leaves When You Quit and Use Postum. A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general nervous prostration which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial leaving off coffee and using Postum is sufficient. All grocers. To make Cheap Gas-light for Country Homes 1 Put a simple "Acetylene" Gasburner on its stem.

Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetylene Generators were absolutely Safe to use. Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Explosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Generators they authorize. And, here's a proof of their good judgment. But, there's a proof or other way to augment it. Millipore's Milipore using Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four Fires from it in one year, against 8865 Fires from Kerosene and Gasoline. Though there are now Two Million people using Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four fires from it in one year, against 8865 Fires from Kerosene and Gasoline. There have also been 4601 Fires from Electricity, 707 Fires from City Gas, and 520 Fires from Candles. Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the sun's rays. But—only four Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Board was in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in permitting" only the 70 makes that were above susicion, out of the 600 experiments that were once on the market. Well—the boom in Acetylene Light made lower prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz. calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Granite but acts like Magic. Today, Acetylene Light is a full third cheaper than Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power. It is not more than half the price of Electric Light, or three-fourths that of City Gas. If I can't prove these statements to your full satisfaction my name is not "Acetylene Jones." But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest light of the year 1905. It is also the Whitest Light—the nearest to natural sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made plants grow 24 hours per day in dark cellars where no day of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow twice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sunlight of day-time, viz. half the time. That was proven by Cornell University in a three-months' experiment made this very year. Now, I've saved up for the last a point more important to you than all the others about Acetylene light. It consumes only one-fourth as much of the vital oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bed-rooms, either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes. That's a trechendous difference in a lifetime, marking three-fourths of a difference. Because,—Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a mass that can never be made good again. A 24 Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only two-fifths of a cent per hour. That's about $5.85 per year, if burned every night the year for four steady hours. A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you third more, viz.: three-fifths of a cent per hour for cerosene alone, or $8.75 per year. That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, newicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of canning, filling and trimming daily. I want to prove these figures to you, Reader, if you are a house-owner or storekeeper.

CONSUMPTION The Story Whether Hand Sapolio got a more enthusiastic welcome in homes where ‘Sapolio was an old and tried friend, ‘or where it was a stranger, Is a ques- tion. Where women had come to rely ‘on Sapolio for rapid, thorough clean- ing in every part of the house except the laundry, they commenced without Joss of time, to avail of this new prize. Grubby little hands, and stained, work- worn older ones, whitened, softened, and smoothed out as if by magic, cal- fous spots. disappeared, and com- plexions cleared. Children ceased their strenuous objections to the scriub- bing up process, because it became a Doyo claanond pleasure. It freshened up the hands after dish-washing, removing the most disagreeable feature of that necessary task, It was found to keep delicate baby skins from chafing better than salve or powder, and the crowning note in the song of delight came when an adult member of the family used it ia a full bath, and realized that a Turkish Bath at a cost of one dollar was outdone by a small fraction of the Uttle, ten-cent, velvety cake. . But, strange though it may seem, there were people who had not learned to prize Sapolio. To these the adver- tising of Hand Sapolio came as & ‘surprise.

Impossible, it would be horrid. Who ever heard of such a use? Finally a bold shopper carried home a cake. Does it look like kit- chen Sapolio? No one is sure, and a cake of that is bought, and comparison made. Bekold a family using both the Sapolios for every conceivable- pur- pose, and comparing notes! After easily and quickly cleansing a greasy pan with Sapolio, Jane thought the other would be gritty, and was aston- ‘ished at the smooth, dainty lather.

The Ingenuity Employed by Banks to Sndiaive Conidence. UO ate ee ee Amusing, indeed, are some of the devices employed by bankers to gain time and inspire confidence. On one occasion, the excited deposi tors at a bank, much to their indigna tion, were only able to enter the doors one by one, except at the cost of spoiled coats, as the manager, in an inspired moment, had had the door posts freshly painted. Another bank prevented a crisis in Its affairs by exhibiting in the win: dows large tubs apparently brimful of sovereigns. These tubs, however, were simply upside down, and only 8 small quantity of gold was piled on the bottoms. But perhaps the most ingenious dodge of all was successfully carried out in an American bank recently ‘There was a run, and for several days depositors besieged the _ premises, withdrawing money and placing it in another bank on the opposite side of the road. It happened, however, that these two institutions had a private under standing, and as fast as the “safe” bank received the deposits they were returned to the “unsafe” one by an underground passage, with the re suit that everyone marveled at its continued ability to meet the demands made upon it. pica AE i Coal a Under date of July 25 it is reported from Mainz that probably the largest train of rowboats ever seen on the Rhine passed that city on the pre vious day.

Ip Use For Over 30 Years, The Kind You Have Always Bought PAPER'S SINGLE SUBSCRIBER. By a Special Department a Daily Pa- per Was Printed for the Czar. While the Russian citizen has per- force to buy his foreigm’ papers with, to him, a portion of the most inter- esting news blacked out by the cen- sor, the czar, until the commencement of the Japanese war, was supplied with the news of the outside world only through the medium of a daily paper printed for him by a special de- partment of the foreign office. This contained items translated from all the European papers, and was printed upon fine paper from “special type. All items which might be dis- posed to be disquicting to the czar were eliminated by the editors, and the freshly printed sheet contained only such news as was likely to please the one subscriber. After the commencement of the war, however, the czar insisted on also be- ing supplied with “unblacked” copies of certain English papers, and these were sent unwillingly by the censors who, in times past, resorted to odd devices to keep certain publications from their imperial master, counter- feits sometimes even being printed, Most men who pay as they go are very.alow travelers.

S. Colson, a well-known resident of this place, and he does not hesitate to say that eure is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The reason Mr, Colson is so firm in his opinion is that he had those terrible pains and is cured.

Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. 1 think they are a grand medicine.” All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
