"This is not a bad showing for forty years, effort. In Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah. We understand some of the wealthiest Negroes in the country live. And scarcely are the relations between the races more strained anywhere else in the south than in Atlanta. As we make material advancement' do we incur the illfeelings of our whie neighbors?" —Southern Sun. Atlanta is not the only city nor Georgia the only state where the Colored people have most money and yet are most legislated against. After all for any race in a Republic to increase in property while they decrease in political power or are deprived more and more of a voice in the Government is building a house upon the sand. It will stand only until the storm comes. Hence the folly of advocating business leagues and industrial schools with thrusts at agitation for redress of wrongs and against denial of rights. The only sure progress for Colored Americans in the south is that in which the possession of a vyice in government and of federal protection goes hand in hand with the accumulation of material things. MASS.COLORED MASONS PLANNING CENTENNIAL The Colored Free Masons in Massachusetts have named a larg committee which is headed by Nelson P. Wentworth, for the purpose of commemorating the centennial of the first Colored grand lodge of the order in this country. African grand lodge, A. F. and A. M. was founded in Boston durin the winter of 1808, with members from lodges at Providence, New York and Philadelphia, and the present Prince Hall grand lodge of Massachusetts, as well as other regular Colored grand lodges in the United States, Canad and Liberia are descendents from it. The committee met this week and discussed the nature of the coming centennial. It is intended to have all of the 40 Colored grand lodges in this country, with that in Canada and the one in Liberia as well as the affiliated grand lodges in Europe and elsewhere represented. The States are to send lodges and commanderies of Knights Templars, and it is estimated that on the day of the parade which will probably be June 24, 1908, there will be more than 3000, Colored Masons in line. Amid the din of the boasting of Southern Negro apologist about the decrease of lynching according to the recorded cases for 1905 the St. Luke Herald very rightly says: "Sixty-one Megroes murdured in the South by the mob! Sixty-one human beings murdered and the murderers allowed to go free With every single officer of the court a white man, what chance of escape would even an innocent Negro have? Then again, if Negroes were only lynched for the "usual crime" only FIFTEEN would have been murdered. Why then do white men with the law in their own hans, murder helpless negroes? Race is the only reasonable answer. Again, these lynchings are not by the rabble; the best citizens join in, and either by active participation or by silent approval do their shere of murder. We venture the assertion, if the Negroes charge with the crime of rape, were given an impartial trial, there woule not be one conviction in ten. "And yet, in face of these facts, the Negro is called upon by the white press, white pulpit and even the President of the United States—to hunt down Negroes charged with rape. How can we? How can we stain our hanes with the blood of black men, when they are being murdered by white men upon the slightest pretext? No, a thousand time no! Negro life is cheap enough now, without having the Negro playing the Judas to make it still cheaper. "Let white men murder the Negro until their lust for Negro blood be fully sated, but let the Negro, himself, keep his hands clean from the blood of his brethren. Condolence Arria Court No. 7 I. O. O.

Cody Bryant of Covington, Ga is one of the richest colored farmers in the United States. He owns unencumbered 1,650 acres of the most fertile land in middle Georgia. He has thirty tenants and employs twenty wage hands. Last year he produced 415 bales of cotton, 4,000 bushels of corn, 1, 200 bushels of wheat, 900 bushels of oats, 1,000 bushels of potatoes 475 bushels of peas and 635 gallons of syrup. He is said to be worth $100,000. In the Library of Congress there are 1,000 titles of works written by Negroes and many of these books are on the shelves and are frequently called for. Mrs. Gail, the colored woman of Wankegan, Ill., who predicted the assassination of the late President McKinley, as well as the Baltimore fire, predicts that Chicago will be destroyed. Fifteen hundred lumber dealers met in Kansas City, Mo last week and a jolly time is reported. Of the fifteen hundred reported 25 were Afr-Americans, and they came from the Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The Advocate, of Huntsville, Ala., published the following item Dec. 12, 1860: "The Negroes belonging to the estate of Samuel Townsend, deceased, were sold here last week on twelve months time with interest from date. There were one hundred and twenty-six of them old and young, and they brought $136,642—an average of $823.14 apiece. They were an ordinary set of Negroes, and the prices they brought were astonishing. We are glad to see the confidence our people have in this specie of property, and that they are determined to maintain it as one of their fixed institutions. Let the South keep united—act in concert—agree upon the same policy and the institution is safe, permanent and profitable, in or out of the Union." The Advocate continues to pub lish articles favoring the enslave ment of the Negro. It, like many other Southern papers, will never get over the shock delivered by the great emancipator—Abraham Lincoln. Exc.

Passenger and Driver, "Holed Up," Kept Moving Through What Seemed Century of Darkness—Temperature Fifteen Below Zero. Ike Boyer of Helena left yesterday morning for Madison county points, and while waiting in Butte the night before told some interesting tales of his experience while making the territory in southern Montana which is not yet covered by the railroad. "The time of my life," he said, "was experienced between Bannack and Argenta. I was making the trip by stage and my driver was one of the old-time stage drivers of the overland road. The only name I ever knew for his was 'Shorty,' and he was one of the best that ever pulled the ribbons over a team of horses in Montana. "Shortly after we left Argenta it began snowing, but we paid little attention to the storm, being wrapped up comfortably. When we 'topped' the hill and started across the foothills to connect with the old Bannack road we ran into the teeth of the blizzard. The thermometer began dropping rapidly and almost before we knew it we found ourselves chilling fast. To add to our trouble the air became so filled with snow that we could not see the length of our sled ahead of us. The storm came so fast and fierce that the horses refused to face it, and before we realized it we were off the road and the horses were helplessly floundering through the snow, which seemed almost bottomless. By this time darkness had come and we were off the trail. "To make the matter worse the horses in floundering broke the tongue from the sled and we were holed up for good. Then we saw that we were in for it for the night and prepared to make the best of a bad bargain. There was a little straw in the bottom of the sled and we tied the horses up so that they could eat this. The driver and myself walked back and forth, about a rod apart, all night long and in this manner managed to keep warm. We drank up all the samples I had with me, smoked several boxes of sample cigars, and it seemed as if the night would never come to an end. "Occasionally I would get uncommonly tired and sleepy and would attempt to doze off, but 'Shorty' would stand for nothing of the sort. He would rouse me by drastic means, if necessary, and make me continue my walk to and fro opposite him. Finally, after the lapse of at least a century, the night came to an end and daylight began showing around the gulch. With the approach of day the storm went down and the air cleared. 'Shorty' immediately began rustling and before long found a pole that could be used as a sled tongue, and we toggled up matters and continued our trip to Bannack. We arrived there in time for a late breakfast and were not surprised to learn that the thermometer had registered 15 below throughout the night."—Anaconda Standard. Adventurers' Rich Booty. When Drake sailed the South sea in the Golden Hind upon his piratical voyage of circumnavigation in the year 1577-79, and when he captured the Nuestra Senora della Concepción (surnamed the Cacafuego or Spitfire) off Cape San Francisco, it took three days to transfer the treasure from the captured ship to his own. In that single haul there was realized a "purchase," as it was called, of over twenty-six tons of silver, besides eighty pounds of virgin gold, thirteen chests of pieces of eight containing over a million in money, and an enormous amount of jewels and plate.—Harper's Magazine. Song. Give me back my heart, fair child; To you as yet 'tweve worth but little; Half beguiler, half beguiled. Be you warned, your own is brittle. I know it by those two black streaks I know it by those two black streaks Arching up your pearly brows In a momentary laughter. Stretched in long and dark repose With a sigh the moment after. "Hid it! dropt it on the moors! I hate it! dropt it on the moors!" My own heart I want, not yours. You have bound and must unbind it, Set it free then from your net, We will love you not yet. Fling it from you;—we are strong; Love is trouble, love is folly; Love, that makes an old heart young. Makes a young heart young. Abbreviate.

Mulberry was one of the original best Sellers. It must be fine to be a lawyer and rake in a $23,000 fee every little now and then. Even the pessimist may hope for the best, but it takes an optimist to really expect it. When a man says to you: "Guess what I paid for it," double what you really think, and please him. Cornering the tomato supply will not of necessity have any effect on the supply of vivid red catchup. New York's Chinatown now joins in the general occidentalizing movement among the race by having street riots. With a lot of returned soldiers who are looking for jobs, Japan is finding that peace hath problems no less than war. Prof. Bell thinks that flying is merely a matter of time. Others are inclined to think that it is a matter of eternity. It is really no more than might be expected that the Chinese minister at Washington is such a gib talker. His name is Tung. Says Judge Grosseup, "God never intended there should be a leisured class." But, judge, was not that his original intention? In France the election of a president of the republic appears to be fully as important a function as the opening of a new opera house. Berlin must be much elated over a reduction of the French forces reported at the German capital. Two deserters have arrived near Metz: A hot potato, passed across the dinner table, figures in a divorce case just begun. It was supposed only cold potatoes furnished incentive to divorce. Sir Christopher Furness was the first man to be elected to the new British parliament. Judging from his name he must have conducted a hot campaign. And another thing we are not going to do this year: We are not going to tell people if they will look at their troubles in the right light the troubles will disappear. France will "take its time" in obtaining satisfaction from Venezuela. Recent history suggests that it will take a lot more time than it has any thought of taking. Thrice and four times fortunate the Frenchman whose grandfather was a blacksmith. Such humble antecedents have furnished three Presidents of the republic up to date. Bachelors in Corea, according to a correspondent, cannot buy liquor. Seems harsh, that, but really the former bachelors are the men who need it.—New York Herald. The will as a means of prolonging life is ably discussed by a learned magazine essayist. Will he tell us how to use the will as a means of pocketbook expansion? If Morocco is anything like other oriental countries you can't blame the powers for insisting upon the open door. The more fresh air that can be got into it the better.

This winter's dress suits are cut low in the seams, and this winter's divorce suits are cutting high into the defendants' bank accounts, if we are to believe the fashion experts. A Chicago Sunday school teacher was held up and robbed by four small boys, members of her own class. Perhaps this will instruct other teachers to take greater pains with their pupils. A mad dog killed in Winsted, Conn., the other day frightened several women on the streets so that they tried to climb trees. Now the horrid men down there are trying to find another one. A Philadelphia man wept when he was acquitted of a charge that he had robbed the city. He knew most Philadelphiaans would look upon a man as disgraced who had been proved not guilty of that practice. There is a preparation sold now which, if added, in a very small quantity, to a barrel of whisky three-fourths water, will change the entire liquid to a fascinating 10-year-old whisky.

Eruption Broke Cut in Spots All Over Body—Cured at Expense of Only $1.25. Thank You. Outcure The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thankful to you. My trouble was eruption of the skin, which broke out in spots all over my body, and caused a continual itching which nearly drove me wild at times. I got medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure me, and when I saw in a paper your ad, I sent to you for the Cuticura book and I studied my case in it. I then went to the drug store and bought one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura Pills. From the first application I received relief. I used the first set and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and was completely cured. I had suffered for two years, and I again thank Cuticura for my cure. Claude N. Johnson, Maple 'Grove Farm, R. F. D. 2, Walnut, Kan., June 15, 1905." One Woman's Record. Nellie Collins, at Hartford, Conn., between August 13, 1889, and January 17, 1906—when she was given 180 days in prison as a common drunkard—has been arrested forty-six times and has spent over six years in prison, chiefly for offenses against morals. GIFT FROM SENATORS. To an Old Employ Who Has Served Fifty Years. An old employee of the house of representatives is to receive a most substantial testimonial from the members of the house in March, when he completes fifty years' service. The employee is Captain John T. Clancy. He has been on the pay rolls for nearly half a century, under both Democratic and Republican organizations. The testimonial is to be the mortgage on his home, a modest little house on Capitol hill. He owes between $2,000 and $3,000. The members have made up a fund of about that amount and any shortage there may be between the fund and the amount of the mortgage when the exact figures are known will be supplied by the wealthy members who have the matter in charge. Captain Clancy is one of those rare individuals who always knows where to get what is needed and apparently to be able to anticipate what will be asked for. He knows everything about the papers that are to be found in the capitol. A BOY'S BREAKFAST There's a Natural Food That Makes Its Own Way. There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls, N. Y., who is growing into sturdy manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It might have been different with him, as his mother explains: "My 11-year-old boy is large, well developed and active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape-Nuts food. At five years he was a very nervous child and was subject to frequent attacks of indigestion which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. He never seemed to care for anything for his breakfast until I tried Grape-Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always relished by him and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal. "Better than all he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervousness, and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he began to use Grape-Nuts food."

Historic Structures of the Shenandoah Valley Within a radius of one mile of the little village of Leetown, W. Va., and in the most beautiful portion of the Shenandoah valley, are still standing three houses which once sheltered three of the most famous characters in American history. Being somewhat out of the line of ordinary travel, these historical houses have passed comparatively unnoticed. To the student of revolutionary war history they possess a patriotic interest not to be found in any other buildings reminiscent of the early days of America's struggle for freedom. of the original major generals of the revolutionary war. When Washington rebuked him on the field of Monmouth and charged him with ill-timed imprudence, Lee quickly retorted: "I know of no man blessed with a larger portion of imprudence—that rascally virtue—than yourself." Perhaps Lee has been too much blamed, and was perhaps not such a great offender as the world supposed. His error at Monmouth was not a want of courage, but of judgment, for he had fought with the most reckless bravery on two continents—this sol- One of the houses was occupied by Gen. Charles Lee, the daring but impulsive commander whose rashness at the battle of Monmouth gained him a rebuke from George Washington Lee, in a rage, retired from the service and sought the seclusion of the Shenandoah. Gen. Horatio Gates, who aspired to rival Washington and whose hopes were dashed by defeat at the battle of Camden, also sought the peaceful valley, where he nourished his grievances, real or fancied, for nearly the balance of his life. In a third house lived Adam Stephen, once an intimate friend of Washington, and THE HOME OF THE HOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL General Charles Lee's Home, Leetown, who fell into disgrace by his abrupt withdrawal from the army. All three were trial by court-martial and dissolved from the service. formed the acquaint phen, and later or became commande the frontier, Adan All that concerns the characters of these men is legitimate food for thought, and the very localities which will speak of them are full of the deepest interest. The old home of Gen. Charles Lee is an oblong building of massive stone, with chimney midway. The ground floor of his "mansion" had no partition; it was divided by chalk lines merely, and these lines marked out four compartments. In the first he kept his books, in the second was his bed, a rough camp couch; in the third his saddles, hunting outfit and dogs, while the fourth, which included the fireplace, was his kitchen. Lea said that by this he could overlook his establishment without getting up to open doors. After his death an addition exactly the same size as the other portion of the stone house was built, thus making the house just twice its original size. Tradition has it that after Lee's rebuke by Gen. Washington at Monmouth the latter sent a note stating that he would call upon him on a certain morning, and that he hoped all past contentions and bitterness had been forgotten. Lee could not eradicate the old anger he felt for his adversary, and, unlike the ordinary man, he could not make a commonplace excuse for not desiring to see him. He had to do it out of the ordinary—do it as no other person would. So on the day fixed for the visit of Gen. Washington, Lee sent away his Italian servant and all the negroes and then. THE STORIES OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN THE HOME OF THE FARMER General Stephens' Home on the Opequan, mounting his horse, he rode away, first, however, having left a note affixed to his front door (the only one) saying: NO MEAT COOKED HERE TO DAY. It is said that Washington came and knocked in vain; but when he read the paper he silently rode away, recognizing the bitterness of his former companion stronger than ever. Gen. Lee was called the "Boiling Water" by the Mohawks, to distinguish his restless temperament—a temperament which led him over Europe and other countries before he found final residence in America, setting in Virginia in 1773. He became an ardent Republican, and was one a location which is the estate of forme Faulkner, and in the of the beautiful groe his home.

When Washington rebuked him on the field of Monmouth and charged him with ill-timed imprudence, Lee quickly retorted: "I know of no man blessed with a larger portion of imprudence—that rascally virtue—than yourself." Perhaps Lee has been too much blamed, and was perhaps not such a great offender as the world supposed. His error at Monmouth was not a want of courage, but of judgment, for he had fought with the most reckless bravery on two continents—this soldier of fortune who had all to lose and nothing but life to gain. But the brave man abandoned a cause which he regarded as having outraged him and refused to take further part in the war. He was court martialed and his commission taken from him. He went back to his estate and busied himself in growing tobacco, declaring it the best school for a general. After years of weary existence Gen. Lee moved to Philadelphia, where he died. While George Washington was stationed at the town of Winchester engaged in his work of surveying he THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CLUB formed the acquaintance of Adam Stephen, and later on when Washington became commander of the forces on the frontier, Adam Stephen received his first commission. He was commandant for some time at Fort Cumberland, then the furthest advanced post of the border, and immediately confronting Fort Duquesne. He commanded a battalion sent to the aid of South Carolina by Virginia. Soon after this he abruptly left the service, returning to his home to spend the balance of his days. Gen. Stephen held large landed possessions, and gave to the ctryng the land on which Martinsburg now stands. His home on the Opequen, near Leetown, was a log house, rough and unpromising, evidently intended more for actual everyday utility than for show. Like the Lee home, an addition has been placed to the log house and it does not now resemble the old home of the general. It is said that Stephen, like Morgan and other soldiers of the period, was much given to the wine cup; and, unlike his neighbor, Lee, he loved company and was never happier than when he had his friends around him. From his cabin there was often the sound of revelry in the long hours of the winters' nights. Stephen kept open house all the time. He loved the wild woods in which he lived; he loved his people, and was a man of rude jest and wild revel, but with brave and patriotic impulses. He worthily fought many fights for the people he loved and his home. In his will he disposed of a large area of land, and requested that his remains be laid to rest at a certain point in the edge of Martinsburg—a 1 a location which is now included in the estate of former Senator Charles Faulkner, and in the northwest corner of the beautiful grounds which front his home. The general also provided in his will that a certain sum of money be expended in erecting a substantial monument over his grave, but the executors of the estate never got further than placing a few hugh stone bowlers for a foundation. Somehow, as is sometimes the case in such matters, the money was not forthcoming, and to-day the large stones for the foundation of the monument are all that shows where the great fighter and liberal citizen is buried. DEATH SEEMED NEAR. How a Chicago Woman Found Help When Hope Was Fast Fading Away. Mrs. E. T. Gould, 914 W.

Ought to Be Careful. Governor Edwin Warfield, of Maryland, laughs at the thirteen superstition though, according to the common view, he ought to regard it with respect. He is the thirteenth governor of Maryland to occupy the executive mansion at Annapolis. He was elected by a majority of 13,000 votes, has thirteen letters in his name and was inaugurated January 13, 1904. So far nothing has occurred in his political career to warrant any fear for the thirteen superstition. Gold Seeker Excited. That it is a good deal of a strain on the nerves to discover gold is shown by the story of an Australian official who wished to telegraph the news of the finding of the precious metal in his district. A small boy, seeking for a stone to throw at a crow, had picked up what proved to be a nugget of pure gold. In his excitement the official overlooked the main point entirely and wrote this: "Boy picked up a stone to throw at a crow," and nothing more. Do Your Clothes Look Yellow?

Who can tell how hard the struggle may have been ere she learnt to resign herself to her lonely lot? The abstraction of this situation together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is a common disappointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of their children, the children on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous. In many cases of barrenness or childlessness the obstacle to child-bearing is easily removed by the cure of weakness on the part of the women. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been used in restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of a surgical character, and the treatment is the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., over which Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where children are desired and are absent, an effort to cut out the real cause, since it is generally so easily removed by proper treatment. In all the various weaknesses, displacements, prolapse, inflammation and debilitating, catarral drains and in all cases of nervousness and debility, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most effective remedy it has to its credit hundreds of thousands of cures—more in fact than any other remedy put up for sale through druggists, especially for woman's use. The ingredients of which the "Favorite Prescription" is composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading drugstore chain. All the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so that any woman making use of this famous medicine may know exactly what she is taking.

He was out twenty hours. Unanswerable Dictum. A well known college professor offers the two horns of a dilemma to advocates of coeducation. "If you lecture to twenty boys and twenty girls in the same room," he asks, "will the boys attend to the lecture or to the girls?" Of course the coeducationist, to be consistent, must say that they will listen to the lecture. "Well, if they do," replies the dean, "they are not worth lecturing to."

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They cure anemia just as food cures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N.J., and they can do as much for any other pale, weak, ailing, bloodless person. "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning," says Mrs. McGann, "and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and causing pain when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anemia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. "Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. "One day, while I was wondering how long I could live, feeling as I did, I received a booklet talking about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I read it and told my husband to get me some of the pills. Before the first box was gone I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as I could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headache, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to lots of my friends." For further information address the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Scheuccetady, N. Y.

Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Carter, First British Life Guards, who retires under the age limit, is one of the most remarkable examples of rising from the ranks. The son of a farmer, he entered as a trooper in the life guards in 1873, and after serving eight years in the ranks was appointed riding master. A year later he became adjutant of the regiment and passed from rank to rank till in 1902 he was appointed lieutenant colonel and second in command. It rarely happens that a ranker receives a commission in the regiment in which he has served, and Colonel Gordon Carter was the first, if not the only, trooper who ever rose to the command of a regiment of household cavalry.

H., was a young lawyer he was trying an important case in a Massachusetts town. Near the close of the trial his father, Urish Pike, a sturdy farmer of Franklin, feeling a deep interest in his son's welfare, went to learn how matters were progressing. Being in the same hotel with the court and lawyers, Mr. Pike, So, chanced to be sitting alone in the lounging room where the opposing counsel and his supporters were discussing the case. Farmer Pike heard his son roughly handled by the opposition, but it did not disturb him, for from what he gathered Austin F. was making things very lively in the court room. As the conversation grew more and more spirited, one of the number turned to Mr. Pike, who seemed to be disinterested, and inquired: "Do you know this Pike?" The father replied: "I ought to know him pretty well, for he slept with me; the first eighteen months of his life." Natural Supposition. A professor of music had published a successful composition, and the revenues and honors were sufficient to warrant him in wearing a high silk hat. The elder members of the professor's family considered the new adornment with becoming pride, while the younger one viewed it with awe. The professor one evening was entertaining a number of guests with a harrowing tale. "My nerves were unstrung," he narrated. "It was midnight when I reached the bank building, and just as I had passed the entrance a black object glided softly across my path and made every one of my hairs stand on end." Little George contemplated his father's long locks for a few seconds and then interrupted the curdling experience. "Say, papa," he declared, innocently. "you must have had on your high hat that night." "Postoffice Stone" Found. In the early history of Cape Colony, before the first permanent settlement had been made, it was the custom of the captains of passing ships to leave letters for Europe underneath a large stone on the shores of Table bay, to be called for by the next returning squadron. Several of these "postoffice stones" have been discovered and one is now in the entrance hall of the general postoffice in Cape Town. Another has just been found, built into the southwestern bastion of the castle. The stone must have been used in building the wall, which was completed in 1679, or more than fifty years after the date of the inscription it bears. It records the stay in Table bay of some English ships, the Lesser James and the Abigail. Herbert Spencer's Mental Best Herbert Spencer's Mental Rest. Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace tells Herbert Spencer's reason for living in a London boarding house with "rather a commonplace set of people—retired Indian officers and others": "He said that he had purposefully chosen such a home in order to avoid the mental excitement of too much interesting conversation; that he suffered greatly from insomnia, and that he found that when his evenings were spent in commonplace conversation, learning the news of the day or taking part in a little music, he had a better chance of sleeping." Golden Rule a Simple One. William Travers Jerome, recently re-elected district attorney of New York, expresses his creed in the following words: "I believe in elementary virtues, in old-fashioned, Sunday-school, puritanical virtues—the virtues enjoined by the Ten Commandments. There is an old hymn that has for its refrain, 'He died to make men good.' Good—that is the word. We should all strive to be good, to do right, to refrain from lying and stealing and murdering. It is all so simple—not at all a question of intricate policies." A Promising Boy. "My boy," said the frenzied financier, "you must remember that you can't eat your cake and have it." "But, father," the young man commented, "surely I can keep my own cake and eat the other chap's?" The light of a great joy shone in the father's eyes. He foresaw for his son a splendid future. Seldom, indeed, had he heard the vital principle of high finance more trenchantly laid down. Writes Book in Prison The Countess Bonmartini, in prison in Italy for murdering her husband, has written a book, which ends with these words: "If I have sinned it is because I have greatly loved * * * But until my right hand has withered, until my tongue sticks panting to my palate, my protesting voice will sound from the profundity of my prison."

That arbiter of musical understanding and taste, the German Emperors, has informed the director of the Berlin opera that Verdi's "Otello" does not interest him and need be seldom performed.

Queen of Norway Has Very Few Jewels of Any Kind. The new Queen of Norway is not very well equipped with jewels—that is, for a queen. As the youngest of three sisters, her share of pretty things was naturally smaller than those of the other two. The most imposing ornament of which she can boast is a diamond necklace left her by her godmother, the old Duchess of Inverness. A condition attached to the legacy was that on no account should it pass into her possession until her wedding day. It is said that when at last she was permitted to clasp it to her neck she said coquettish to her husband that he must not take too much credit to himself as her bridegroom, for she felt she must "make some sacrifice" to gain possession of her godmother's legacy.

Conger eels hunt for the octopus and, when found, proceed to browse on its limbs. The octopus tries to hug the slippery, slimy conger tight, but in vain, and finding its limbs growing less, discharges its ink in the face of the foe and under cover of the turbid water beats a hasty retreat. It is to escape the too pressing attention of its foes that the octopus possesses the power of changing its color to correspond with that of its surroundings. Sensible Housekeepers will have Defiance Starch, not alone because they get one-third more for the same money, but also because of superior quality. At $1 a Word. A jocular American once wrote to Rudyard Kipling: "Hearing that you are retailing literature at $1 a word, I inclose $1 for a sample." Mr. Kipling sent him the single word "Thanks" and kept the dollar. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¼-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. When some men borrow money they seem to think it is only an umbrella.

D., Manufacturer, Springfield, Mo. Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N. J., who is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon. Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source. MIN. POH. Fam. firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia. E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine any suffering woman to use. "I immediately after my marriage I found that my health began to fail me. I became weak and pale, with severe bearing-down pains, fearful backaches and frequent dizzy spells. The doctors prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. I would bloom after eating, and frequently had a headache." PRICE, 25 Cts.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see. The money which they pay to doctors who do not help them is an enormous waste.

Gertrude atnerton, wnose pen has been inactivy for some months on ac- count of a serious illpess, has now left Munich after a sojourn of six months, and has gone to seek a quiet place in California, where she can take up her literary work with re- nuewed entiusiasm. “Writing books is very exacting,” she said recently. “You must make up your mind to re nounce éverything for the time being. I live like a hermit in some little out- of-the-way spot when I am writing a book. I rise every morning at 6, work until noon, eat a rather hearty mid- day theal, rest and read for a couple of hours, and then back to work for an hour or two. Some days I write all day—write until I am all written out. It takes me usually about three to four months to write a book; after that come the rewriting, the proof- reading and all the innumerable ad- ditions. I never know exactly what sequence of incident or characters is going to follow until I am in the throes of composition. Of course, 1 decide on a motive, and have {wo or three of the principal characters pret- ty clearly in mind, but the rest of the story works its own way out.

The use of “expire” in its literal sense of breath- ing out (inspiraticn and expiration together constitute respiration) in- evitably produces a quaint effect now, as when we read Izaak Walton's ob- servation that “if the inspiring or ex- piring organ of any animal be stopt, it suddenly dies.” ‘The Romans un- doubtedly spoke of “breathing out” the breath of life instead of “dying.” by way of euphemism, just as they said “vixit” (he has lived) instead of “he is dead.” In all languages the reluctance frankly to say “dead” or “qie” appears. Hence such words and phrases as “pass away,” “decease,” “demise,” “the departed,” “defunct.” “the late,” “no more,” “if anything should happen to me.”—London Chronicle. eipaciat deka ae an The great actress Rachel had a hor tor of the number thirteen, and never would sit down to table with twelve other guests. She did so once, and almost immediately afterward she be- came ill and had to go to Ezypt for her health’s sake. When she came back M. Arsene Houssaye, one of the guests, went to see her at her house near Montpellier. “Do you remember our dinner, after the revival of ‘Angelo’?” she asked him—her part in Victor Hugo's “An- gelo.” “Do you remember? We were thirteen. “Your wife is dead, Victor Hugo and his wife are in exlie at Jersey, Mme. de Girardin is dead, Gerard de Nerval has committed suicide, De Musset is dead, so are the Conye Orsay and Perree, and as for me, E shall not live up to the first of Janu- ary.” She did, but only till the 34— the°third of Janiary 1858. Waiting for the Others. ‘The Duke of Wellington had titles conferred upon him by nearly all the sovereigns of Europe—one of them was Prince of Waterloo, though he never called himself so. (On one occasion he told a man to order dinner for him at a particular hotel, and the man. did so, mention- ing all the duke’s titles. Presently the duke came and waited for a long time. “Is the dinner not coming?” he ask- ed at length, “Why don’t you bring the dinner?” “We are waiting,” replied the wait- er, “for the rest of the party.” ‘They had prepared dinner for abot twenty people.

Famous Old New York Tavern Must Go; Once Praised by George Washington --- R. H. Pettit's Hotel, Which Washington Pronounced "Fit and Decent." Pettit's hotel is to be torn down, and Jamaica, L. L., will lose a landmark which for 167 years has withstood the storm and toss of time and real estate improvement. This ancient tavern expires with the benediction of Washington still upon it. Before the battle of Long Island the Father of His Country rode over to Jamaica on a tour of observation and alighted from his saddle at the tavern door of Pettit's. They gave him to drink of good Jamaica rum—Jamaica in a double sense—which, after the long ride, mightly refreshed the general. Then they fried potatoes and broiled steak for him, and when the delighted host held the stirrup for Washington to mount his steed again the great man turned, and, in the presence of his full staff, with Mercer and Greene and Putnam within earshot, all clad in buff and blue and seated solemnly on their steeds, with the whole village standing about. Washington pronounced his final judgment: "This is a fit and decent tavern." These words have ever since been a part of the assets of Petit's. Generations of proprietors have appeared and disappeared to their long rest, and armies of bartenders have marched into the beyond from behind the heavy and antique bar; yet still with every glass of beer the bartender serves the benediction of Washington. Gen. Grant and Robert Bonner drove out there once in later days and America's last great general indorsed the opinion of America's first great general. There is to-day hanging on the walls of the ancient hostelry an engraving of Grant and Bonner seated behind a pair of trotters and bowling merrily along, the general driving. It is pointed out that this gives an added interest to the pictures, because when Mr. Bonner was behind his own horses he never allowed anyone to hold the reins with the single exception of Gen. Grant. The legend is that when the general and Mr. Bonner went out to Pettit's the general was allowed to drive all the way—hence the picture. Pettit's is a low and rambling structure, which spreads itself over the ground as if it had all Long Island to repose itself in if it felt so disposed. Though the timbers of it are still stanch and strong, the hotel looks old and evidently feels old. There is about it a "general odor of mild decay, but nothing local, as one might say." Amid its modern surrogndnns the ancient building looks like an old lady with mitts and a false "front," sitting amid the sartorial atrocities of a modern ballroom. There is something eminently respectable about Pettit's. The original proprietor built it Pettit's PHYSICIANS ARE SHORT LIVED. Constant Strain of Work Frequent Cause of Early Death. The diseases which claim the most victims among physicians relatively to all males are gout and diabetes, and there is a high relative mortality from diseases of the nervous system, circulatory system and kidneys. From the nature of his habits, the physician is not subject to accidents, and, though he is brought into contact with infection to a greater extent than other men, his preventive means are successful and his mortality from infection is very low. Freedom from prolonged muscular strains and high blood tension apparently saves him from arteriosclerosis, but suicide claims many, and so do the drug habits acquired by the nervously exhausted. It has been said that three-fourths of French morphine users are physicians. The cause of the physician's early death is evidently the excessive nervous expenditure, insufficient rest and defective nutrition, inseparable from his calling, with its broken and restricted sleep, irregular hours of work, rest and meals, the worry when lives depend upon his judgment and the lack of a day of complete relaxation in each week. The physician who sees his patients every day in the week, month after month, and cannot learn to forget them when he goes home, merely burns the candle at both ends. He violates the law obeyed by every other animal, that there shall be periods of moderate exertion interrupted by longer periods of rest when repairs are made. It is not too much work as a rule, but scattered work, which prevents rest.—American Medicine. --- directly across the street from the principal church of the town, for "rum and true religion" were not considered incompatible in those early days. In the old churchyard are buried many generations of the King family—that family which gave a vice president to the United States and many eminent men to the state of New York. Then there are Graces and Napiers and Van Rensselaers buried there. Pettit's and the old churchyard make together an oasis of ancient and stately things amid the desert of brick and modernity grow up around them. Across an alleyway from the tavern are the tavern stables, long, low and Front Entrance of the Hotel. rambling like the tavern, and having, withal, a distinctly Southern appearance. This is easily explained, for the stables were built to house the horses of Southerners, who used to come North every year in the old days to try their trotting horses against the trotters of the North. In the early part of the last century these stables of Pettit's were filled once a year by the best trotting blood which could be gathered south of Mason and Dixon's line. Right near was the old Union course, now built over with solid blocks of houses, and the old and famous Fashion course was only four miles away. Smaller trotting tracks were scattered about the neighborhood, and Pettit's was a racing center when racing meant trotting. There, at Union course, the great Dexter was trained, and many a measure of oats did he eat in Pettit's stable. In the days before the civil war, they say, that on winter days when the sleighing was good the line of sleighs with horses standing hitched used to extend half a mile in each direction from Pettit's tavern door. That was when not to know Pettit's was to argue oneself unknown. Hotel, Which Washington Pronounced Fees for Surgical Work. Surgeons would pay to each other very much larger fees than they at present dare to ask from patients, says Dr. Robert T. Morris in a letter in the Medical Record, in which he details the difficulty with which he finally collected a bill for surgical services rendered to a rich person who disputed the value received, notwithstanding the result of the surgeon's work was satisfactory in every way. Services may be obtained to-day, says Dr. Morris, which are immensely more valuable than any which could have been obtained a few years ago, but the people are not as yet aware of the fact. Curiosity enough, the Jews are as a class the first to adapt themselves to the new order of things and to secure and pay for the last degree of technical skill on the part of medical and surgical experts. Not a Common Criminal. One time Col. Bill Hackney of Winfield was indicted by the grand jury for betting on election along with several other men. Hackney stood in with the judge. The defendants all pleaded guilty. Before passing sentence on the bunch the judge took Hackney into the side room and asked: "How much shall I fine you, Bill?" "What are you going to soak the rest of the bunch for?" asked Hackney. "Oh, I think I will give them $1 and costs," said the judge. "Well, I don't want to be treated as a common criminal," said Hackney. "Just fine me $50 and costs." And the judge took his seat on the bench and did so.—Kansas City Journal ```markdown ``` Just back of Pettit's was the old horseshoeing place, run in the "before the war" days by McLaughlin, a farrier of such national repute that the planters of the South used to defer the shoeing of their steeds until they could land at Pettit's and turn the trotter over to McLaughlin. He was one of the first men in the country to appreciate the value of toweights and is said to have cut a quarter of a minute from the time of a horse driven by Hiram Woodruff by the adjustment of a perfectly "balanced shoe." There is a lot of old furniture in Pettit's, some of which will probably be sold at the breaking up of the establishment for more than it is worth and some for less than it is worth. There are heavy and ponderous tables and couches, some of great antiquity and some of doubtful vintage; and they are, most of them, so covered with paint that one can only guess at the wood, be it mahogany, rosewood or good white pine. But Pettit's is a place of surprises, anyway. There are unexpected levels to the floors, so that one minute you have to go up a step and the next you step down while walking across the floor of one room. Originally this tavern was known as Remsen's—one of that well-known Long Island family having founded the place of Pettit's ran it and thus gave it its modern name. Some of the original Remsen furniture still remains in the place. In the entrance hall is a great "settle," probably of mahogany, the same upon which Washington threw his riding coat when he came to spy out the land and test old "Billy" Remsen's cheer. Over across the way the aged colored sexton almost thinks he remembers the day when Washington rode down to bestow his blessing upon the inn. But as this venerable person was 105 years old last year and is only 104 this year, there is room for doubt as to his really having seen the arrival of the great man. However, yet a few days and Pettit's will have passed away and be no more. Even that fine old flavor of Medford and Jamaica rum, which lurks in every crook and cranny of the building, will have been dissipated into thin air and a modern business block will stand staring upon its site. The bowls of punch, which have been brewed there—enough in the aggregate to float a line of battleships—will be brewed no more. The stables, too, will disappear and no one can wander through the rambling structure and say here Point-dexter stabled his trotter and there Lee, and there Bird, or Westover in the brave old days "before the war." Fit and Decent." NEW DELICACY OF THE SOUTH. Alligator Tails Now a Favorite Dish in Florida. "There is nothing better, I am told, than the tip of the tail of an alligator which has reached, say, the pullet period," said Frank Holden yesterday. "It is creamy in color, tasting a little like frogs' legs, but with a more pronounced gamy flavor, juicy—altogether tempting, I'm told. The dish is a great favorite in Florida, where its serving is considered a great honor. "Alligator tails are best at this time of year, just after the ricebird season. The big alligators float in the water with only their eyes showing. When they see a flock of these fat, juicy little birds they dive to the bottom. Their long, wide snout scoops up some of the loam and they float to the surface again with just the rich soil showing. The birds think it is an island. They alight upon it. When the whole family is there the big beast turns suddenly. Just as the birds scramble off he opens his mouth once. They are gone. "The birds are neat little feeders and the alligator is an epicure at this time of the year. The ricebird diet makes the tip of his tall, of which he is most vain, tender and sweet."—Cleveland Leader. Hid Higher Ideas. She was a rural maid, fresh from the farm, and it was her first glimpse of a society ball. "What do you think of the ladies' gowns?" queried her city cousin. "Are they not magnificent?" "Y—yes," she answered, and a faint blush got busy with her complexion, "but they fall far below what I expected." Algiers a Mixture of Old and New The three-towned city of Algiers seems to be the product of repeatedly violent mixtures of orient and occident, the unrest of civilization and the power of persistence of that truly not enviable bliss which feels itself happiest in filth and dirt. Mustapha Superiorie, city of villas and hotels rises above the new and old city, the European and the Arabian quarters, voluptuous, decked with flowers, like an unchaste beauty molded into the hilly country, which, as outermost spur of the snow-covered heights of the Atlas and the Djurjura, descends to the very boundary of the city, says Appleton's Booklovers' Magazine. Constructed with the white marble, adorned with far-projecting, horseshoe-shaped arcades, and crowned with fantastic cupolas and towers, the residences of the European and Arabian nobility lie amid their glimmering, glistening gardens. A fragrance arises from these gardens which accompanies the wanderer for miles and miles, completely bewitching his senses. The road ascends in broad serpentines, constantly leading into more tempting, more fascinating beauty. The land glitters in its robe of green, a haze of blue covers the sea and one marble structure next to the other gleams in pure white, but this trial of colors is buried under the cascades of wildest variegated colors which seem to cover every foot of earth, seem to pour down on us from every crevice in the rocks, from every branch of every tree. The very air seems to be dyed with these same rich hues, and, plying the glorious colors of the setting sun, draws a mantle of harmonic splendor about the city below—this city of curious contradictions. It is assuredly interesting that the best examples of Arabian art in architecture are standing close together in the heart of the European quarter. We are almost astonished to find that at least some of these, above all the two principal mosques, have remained absolutely untouched. Two towers have been added to a third mosque which in its construction is by far the finest, thus transforming it into a cathedral, though each single nook and corner loudly remonstrates against its present designation. The interior is marvelously decorative, and its almost chaste marble arabesques, its ornamental and scrolled texts belonging to a totally different faith, stand in decided contrast to the magnificent pomp of a high mass which the archbishop is celebrating with grand ostentation to roaring, almost operatic music. We see hallerdiers in gold, glittering uniforms, carrying their majestic weapons, canons in costly embroidered vestures, the long rows of choir boys in their red and white surplices. The archbishop, with the fine mild head of a patriarch, a white flowing beard soft as silk, with the characteristic dignity and enlightenment of his movements, truly appears as a sort of higher being. The service being ended, the entire mass of people moves down the steps of the cathedral across the small square leading to the residence of the archbishop, formerly the palace of an Arabian dignitary. A dense crowd hems the way in the hope of winning the blessings Mosque THE MOSQUE OF MARRAKESH the prelate is bestowing or kissing the hand he is holding out to every one. Later we stand in the large mosque, one of the oldest, as well as one of the most artistic Mohammedan structures. Here and there Mohammed's faithful stand in deep prayer. In the extraordinary perspective, disappearing into mysterious space, each suppliant seems the center of a worship full of the deepest humility and endless subjugation to the will of a higher being. The old city seems to crawl and climb to the ancient fortress which crowns the hill. Streets chaotic and bewildering, without light and air, pre wrapped in shadows fitting to the dirt, which covers there to the putrid smells which stream together from A. City of Contradictions. In the Cathedral. Fortress Crowns the Hill. these intertwined narrow kennels. So-called streets are lined with walls which long ago would have fallen in if strong posts did not maintain the small space separating them. Next to decaying rocks stand artistic old gates and isolated pillars which here truly speak of by gone glory. Observe by-streets run into magnificent court where we cannot even detect the slightest trace of the palace to which it formerly belonged. Then again we come upon long rows of walls, and nothing but walls, into which hollows and recesses have been cut, just large enough to accommodate a small stock of goods and a human being, the latter in such crooked, distorted positions as only an oriental can assume. Everywhere are crouching, smoking, playing, or musing figures, clothed in dirty white or dusty gray, sitting in the front of or in the center of their A boy in a white cloth goods sometimes as if thrown together with the very decay and crumbling of their surroundings. As if out of sheer irony almost at every step we find long-winded instructions by the French authorities regarding the cleanliness, removal of rubbish, sanitary matters, all of which no one can read, no one can understand, and certainly no one obeys. Rather gliding than walking, veiled women appear from side paths or quickly opened gates, only to disappear again with a shy glance. Even they, with very few exceptions, lack all charm, all fascination of color. "It's all nonsense to say it is old maids who are fondest of cats," said an amateur scientist who has a fondness for research along unusual lines, according to the New York Press. "I have looked into the question and I find that married women, young girls and widows are the ones who go in for tabbies. Old maids take to dogs." He says tax officers will prove the verity of his assertions. Bachelor girls, who make a great pretense of renouncing the other sex, generally start studio life with cats as pets. If such a girl remains single, in ten years' time tabby is replaced by a dog, first a big one, then a smaller pet. The dog is changed for a still smaller one as the dreaded middle age approaches. The learned man instances Mrs. Roosevelt. Djedid. Mosque Diedid. Mrs. Fairbanks and Mrs. Dewey as women who love cats. They contribute to a fund which provides for a home for stray cats and for those abandoned by heartless owners in the vacation season. The women who interest themselves in a similar society whereof only dogs are beneficiaries are single women. Among them are Miss Flora Wilson, daughter of the secretary of agriculture; Miss Mabel Boardman, Miss Emily Carew and Miss Aline Bell, sister of Alexander-Graham Bell. "The attempt to introduce some variety into men's evening dress," says the London Express, "by the adoption of braided trousers, double coat cuffs and plaited shirt fronts has ended in failure. Fashion is now compelling a change to the old and simple style." Arab Boys. Old Maids and Cats. Men's Evening Dress.
