C help Wichi to push our BIG BLOW Negroes And The U.S. Army Wisely for himself and for the military service, the president has declined to sanction that crusade which was made against the Ninth Cavalry in Texas. There are four negro regiments in the army, two cavalry and two infantry. The Ninth is the only Negro reigement which is in Texas at the present time, and some of the people of San Anton io asked that the reigement be moved from that vicinity and as signed to patrol duties on the Rio Grande, a hundred miles away. The Third Cavalry, a white reigement, which was doing patrol duty before the movement of troops to Texas on a big scale, was to be displaced by the Ninth. Race prejudice incited the attempt to send the Negro reigement to the border and the order for the removal had already been issued, but the president and the chief of staff in Washington have rescinded it. One of the reasons for presidents action is that the small towns on the borber made protests against the stationing of the Negroes in their vicinity, although the hundreds of miles of territory along the river would have dispersed the reigement so widely that only half or a quarter of a troop would be near any single town. It appears that the black troopers resented the interdict which sought to shut them out, of the street cars in San Antonio, despite the fact that they wore Uncle Sam's uniform, obtained the same pay as is given to the white soilders, and do fighting, against Uncle Sam's enemies when fighting is required to be done. This is one of the reasons why the San Antonio crusade was stardied against them. --- Through the president's intervention, the Ninth will remain for a time, at least, in the camp near San Antonio. No charges of misbehavior are made against them. So far as has been learned, the black solders have conducted themselves as well as the whites. As the records show, they have given as good service as the white in the country's wars. They did excellent work in the rebellion. In the Indian wars they fought as well as did the rest of the soldiers. The regiment which is in camp near San Antonio now rescued the Rough Riders at Santiago, and did much of the fighting which was credited to those white soldiers. The army is and excellent place for Uncle Sam to enforce the square deal. It is a shame to the American nation that men who are soldier in defense of this nation and its people should be insulted and mistreated by some of the people simply and purely from the stand point of race prejudice. —St. Louis Democrat. Timely Advice To Women "What Our Young Women Owe to Themselves" was the subject of a most interesting and instructive address delivered by Mrs. M. C. Lawton to the members and visitors at a meeting of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn recently. Mrs. Lawton spoke in part as follow: In a great city like this, with its teening millions of inhabitant composed as it is, of every nationally every kindred, tongue and tribe, there must naturally arise various conditions for our immediate consideration The constant influx from all parts of the world to this, the metropolis of the United States, the ever incre- SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1911, TA Y.

Everyone asing demand for oficient service together with the opposition which confronts the working girl of the colored race, give rise to a problem whose complexity is almost insoluble. Although institutions for the advancement and promotion or our girls have been established through which thousands of them have been saved to the race and to the glory of womanhood, there are still phases of this situation, discouraging through they may be, that must be reckoned with. As long as time lasts there will be working girls, but just what position they will occupy they alone must determine. It is evident, however that their value will increase in proportion to the efficiency of their efforts, and their position or rank will be computed according to the dignity they inject into their character. Nobody is going to rate you higher than you rate yourselves. If you place a small estimate on yourselves others will do likewise, but if you feel yourselves the equal of those filling the same position you will be rated accordingly. Now, what is the cause of this lack of confidence? It is due to the fact that you have not made the necessary preparation for your life's work. Working people are the bone and sinew of every race. Degradation comes not in the kind of labor you perform, but the quality of service you give. Live in an atmosphere of self respect whether you are accorded those rights which others enjoy or not. Be honest, conscientious and upright in your dealings with your fellow man. The peace of conscience you will enjoy will repay you for the effort you put forth, and besides, this course is the first step toward union toward organization, both of which are absolutely indispensable to racial progress C.A n today and 0 men today ight. eryone Come and advancement. We are living in the formative, constructive or historic period of our race We have just about cleared the forest and begun the fountain upon which future generations of our race must build the superstructure.

Storey And Villard On Race Discrimination. In his address opening the recent meeting of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored people, held in Park Street church, Boston, Hon. Moorfield Storey, who was re-elected president of the organization, said: Forty-five years ago the people of the United States were brought face to face with perhaps the most serious problem in our national history—the converting of 4,000,000 Negry slaves into citizens. At this problem the people have since been working, and it is still far from settled. The constitutional amendments were believed to have placed the rights of the Negro beyond question, but now, while the race has prospered beyond expectation, its progress has awakened jealousy and even in the north a race prejudice has gained strength until men look down upon their fellows as if it were a virtue to embarrasss and injure them. This condition must not endure and it is the duty of every citizen to see that the colored people have justice and kindness. It is necessary that they should be given their full rights and citizen of the United States and that WILL OPEN HIS Dancing Academy At GARFIELD HALL MONDAY NIGHT April 24th. 1911 - - FULL ORCHESTRA - - General Admission This DANCING ACADEMY will be co- ced along the same lines that he con- his Dancing Academy at the Mason last winter.

It is necessary also that they should be protected in the enjoyment of their property and fruits of their lador, that they should be defended against outrage and brutality of every kind. Speaking along the same line of thought, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard said: There can be no doubt that a wave of color hysteria is sweepover the country. The road of the aspiring colored man or woman becomes mare and more difficult. He is abused for his low associations. Let him seek to rise above them, and what happens? Despite the fact that he has for years been told that if he acquires property and buys himself a house all will with him and his family, it he does so in a section of a city, whether it be New York, Seattle, Baltimore or R.chmond, in which he may assure to his children, good associations, pure air and clean streets he is assailed as if his presence there ment the bringing in of a taint worse than leprosy, and the laws are invoked against him. Negroes "Too Busy" To Read. One often meets Negroes who claim that they are "too busy" to read. They offer this as an excuse for not subscribing for the papers and buying books.

Every simpleton who tries to get along without reading is paying more to some readers for doing business for him than a few books and papers and fifteen minutes a day spent in reading would cost him. It is little and low to seek to get rid of an agent by shamming or lying. Be manly, tell the truth. If you have not got the money say so. If you have decided to quit patronizing race enterprises because you have been disappointed or deceived by a few say so. But remember that the man who ceases to patronize race enterprises because you have been disappointed or deceived a few time or for any other cause deceives himself' cut off his own nose to spite his face and become as great and enemy to the race as the men who deceived him. As a rule we are too slack in business; we trust too many things to men's honesty. This is one folish extreme. Then when we get robbed a few times we cease to patronize or trust any Negro regardless of how businesslike he presents his propositions. This is the other foolish extreme. We are supposed to have a law and under this law all business should be transacted. When any person violates this law in dealing with you, it is only right and necessary that they be called to justice. It any man robs you give him to the law, and then trust the next one the same way. If you take a friend's advice you will steal a daily moments to read books, and papers especially. You will not only read the lines but will learn to read all the Negro papers you can get.—The Ethiopian Observer. NO. 2 25cts Raising the Rarest of Flow Orchids RCHIDS are not only the rarest of flowers, but they are among the rarest of all the products of nature. To find and bring back to civilization the choicest of these petaled trophies, "orchid hunters" are all the while braving in tropical jungle dangers and hardships as great as confront any present day soldier of fortune. Similarly there is about the whole family of orchids an atmosphere of mystery such as no longer obtains in the case of any other of milady's standard trinkets—not even in the case of the diamond. No wonder, then, that as these facts have become more generally known and as the peculiar history and characteristics of the orchids have become common knowledge there have swept in upon us a great wave of sentiment in behalf of the orchid—an almost universal feminine longing to possess and wear these strange flowers with their peculiar tints, soft velvet petals that look so artificial that more imitations of the orchid pass muster than of any other flower, and their subtle fascination. There is no question, too, that the A IN EXTERIOR OFA SPECIAL OCCUPATION HOUSE wonderful by the which tion of these e whole covered. and they n. Now of the The ut- ransack- of the pay for ss have of the family and tem- l home nurtured and cultivated in the civilized environment of the temperate zone, it goes without saying that it is no easy task to duplicate the conditions which produced the species. To do so at all necessitates the construction of the special greenhouses above mentioned, with varied equipment, including a steam heating plant big enough to heat buildings many times the size of these greenhouses. The lure of rich reward attracts many daring and resourceful men to the orchid business, although as may be surmised, the rich prizes of gold come to the men who discover, or at least the men who bring back to civilization heretofore unknown varieties of this numerous family. The leading firms engaged in the orchid trade retain at large salaries men of wide experience whose sole occupation is to trail the orchid in the almost inaccessible haunts where there is ever the magnet of possible unheard of varieties to beckon one forward. Sometimes an orchid hunter will search for a year or more, facing the almost intolerable conditions of an unexplored land in order to capture in the end some heretofore unknown variety. During his quest, be it long or short, he must brave foul disease at almost every step; must be ever alert against the hostility of the tribes which inhabit the region he in- Use Flattery for H for Health Use Flattery for Health she looks younger than she has for years, and that she never was as dear to you, and that you are hardly able to pull through your daily tasks because you are so distracted by thoughts of her. The remedy at least is cheap. It costs nothing but effort, but, alas! more effort than some men are willing to put forth. It is not because a man is too truthful to tell lies to his wife about her appearance, but because he hasn't the willing mind. It is too common for men to presume that simply because they are married they need not bestow courtesy or sentiment upon their wives. Some men reserve their stories of flattery for other men's wives, which makes particularly interesting reading in the divorce courts. --- --- O secret of the fascination of these wonderful flowers is not by any means explained by the mere fact that they are so expensive, which has so often been advanced in explanation of why so many people are eager for these flowers. No more than half a century ago the whole orchid family was virtually undiscovered. Only a few varieties were known, and they were by no means in general cultivation. Now there is a mad quest in all quarters of the globe for these fashionable flowers. The utermost parts of the earth are being ransacked for new varieties, under the spur of the enormous prices which collectors will pay for rare "finds" and expensive greenhouses have been installed to permit the cultivation of the more delicate members of the orchid family under the same conditions as to light and temperature which obtain in its ancestral home in the tropics. The orchids in their native haunts are found growing in all sorts of strange ways, and naturally when they are transplanted they are hard plants to grow. Moreover, there are no rules for the cultivation of orchids. In other branches of the floral kingdom all the members of a given floral family may be expected to yield to the same general method of cultivation, varied only in minor detail to permit adaptation to the needs of each member of the family. Not so with the eccentric orchids, however. Every plant is seemingly a law unto itself, and likely to require methods of cultivation distinct in themselves, and perhaps the exact opposite of those which obtain in the case of other members of this fascinating family. The rarest of the orchids, and, of course, the ones most sought and the ones which command the highest prices, do not grow after the fashion of the general community of self-respecting plants which bury their roots in the soil. Instead these orchids are, in effect, parasites, fastening themselves to tree trunks or tree limbs. It is these species which have their native home deep in the jungles of the tropics and the hotter and damper the atmosphere of these unhealthy tropical forests—for instance, those of Brazil—the more the orchids seem to thrive. Now when the descendants of such tropical captives are to be What Women Need Is Not so Much Medicine But a Lot of White Lies. And now comes a very learned man, a psychologist, a physicist and a philosopher, who seems to have investigated the whole subject to his own satisfaction, and finds that the world is cursed with truth, or, rather, with lack of lies. Human beings, particularly those of the feminine gender, suffer physical torments, it appears, because they are not buoyed up by sufficient flattery. What women need is not so much quinine and tpeacac as a lot of white lies. When you go home to the wife of your bosom you are not to tell her that she looks bad and ought to have a doctor at once. By no means. You must tell her that THE ARISTOCRATS OF FLOWERDOM Now, this learned man is right in his fundamentals. We do not know whether or not a case of appendicitis or of cerebro-spinal meningitis may be cured by fattery, but if more men went home to their wives with cheerful faces, with loving words, with the most tender courtesy and a box of candy or a bunch of violets, a lot of heart trouble would be cured instanter. The principal fact about a woman is that she is a woman. She lives on love. She is made for it and "What is the average woman's idea of spring poetry?" "Oh, something in a millinery way, I guess." Never Anything Else. "Is your toothache bad?" "Well, it doesn't look particularly good to me." vades; and must risk all sorts of personal mishaps in grasping his prize, even after the quest has been successful, since most of the rare orchids of the tropics flourish only at the tops of the tallest trees. The hunter must either climb the trees, or more likely he will cut them down, but he dare not trust any hands save his own to undertake the task of gathering these fragile flowers. An energetic orchid hunter will forward great numbers of plants, some rare and others not so rare, to the orchid consuming centers of Europe and America every year, but it is no easy matter to get the orchids to the coast after they have been found and wired into boxes by skillful packers, and on shipboard, even though the temperature of special cabins be-regulated to sustain these floral natives of the tropics, there are other perils to be passed, and many plants perish during the ocean voyage. Indeed, it is claimed that on every large consignment of orchids from Brazil or Madagascar or other orchid producing paradise there is a loss amounting to thousands of dollars through the demise of plants that cannot withstand the rigors of an ocean voyage and in consequence pass from their dormant condition into a sleep from which they cannot be awakened. The roots which come safely to market are usually put up at auction, and since there are no flowers on the plants, and no means of positively identifying them—not even the orchid hunter having seen them in bloom—it not infrequently happens that what are sold for orchids of a common variety, and consequently bring low price, turn out to be rarities of great value. In this way one unidentified orchid plant that brought half a dollar at an auction sale in London was, when it bloomed, after a lapse of two years, discovered to be such a novelty that the very firm that had disposed of it at auction bought it back for $2,500. This price is by no means a recordbreaker for a rare orchid, as notable specimens have been sold for sums as high as $5,750. Nor is it necessary that an orchid shall be what the layman would regard as distinctly different from all others in order to command a fancy price. If it merely has markings distinct from those on the orchids of the same class which have come to light previously, it will be eagerly sought by collectors who take account of all such minor differences ) normally cannot exist in good spirits without it. The greatest injury that can come to a woman is the feeling that she awakens no romantic inspiration in her husband. If every husband would tell his wife once a day that he loved her, as well as show it, the world would be much happier. It is not alone necessary to love your wife; you must show it by a thousand things that seem meaningless trifles to the men, but are the larger part of life to a woman. When the Teacher Blushed.

ORCHIDS - THE RAREST AND GHOSTLEST OF FLOWERS ture and moisture although such are the peculiarities of these erratic flowers that every now and then an experienced grower will lose a number of plants for no apparent reason. These flowers, some of which are said to have the ability to kill with their fragrance, are in reality distant cousins of our familiar blooms, the snow drop and the lady's slipper. There are, all told, more than 5,000 varieties of orchids, but the ones which have been most prized are the strangely beautiful forms which have come from blistering deserts, fever swamps, the tops of mountains or other localities where it seems as though Dame Nature had done her best to hide them away from prying human eyes. To persons who have not learned to love them there is often a suggestion almost of the uncanny about a fanflicful orchid, and such persons will not be surprised to hear that one of the choicest of orchids was first found clinging to a tombstone in New Gulnea. Orchid growers would, most of them, be in no end of difficulty in classifying and identifying their specimens, were it not for the Orchid Studbook, which is issued every years just as is the studbook of horses, which lists all of the domestic varieties of orchids with information as to their respective lines of descent from the original wild kinds. There have been many famous orchid collectors. Mrs. Roosevelt was very fond of the flower and it was due to her efforts that a respectable-sized collection of orchids has been formed at the White House conservatories. Perhaps the most enthusiastic of all orchid collectors, however, has been Joseph Chamberlain, and the name of the English statesman will live forever in the domain or the orchid as a devotee who devoted his leisure and thousands of dollars of his wealth to the indulgence of his hobby for the gentlest and fraist of flowers.

The raising of orchids from seed is a very slow operation, and one requiring an infinite amount of patience. Orchid growers who are in the business either for profit or pleasure, prefer, as a rule, to simply buy the bulbs—brown and withered and unpromising—and by watchful care nurture the latent spirit of life until in time the plant blooms. One ticklish task in connection with the raising of orchids is the keeping up of the successive periods of rest and activity natural to each species of this floral family. As an orchid plant is passing into what is known as the dormant state it requires a gradually slackening supply of water, whereas when it is revived from this and returned to active growth there must be a continual increase in the amount of moisture supplied to the plant arousing from its drowsiness. Orchids newly arrived from foreign parts must have an exceptional amount of attention after their long sea voyage. First, all the old leaves are removed and then the plants are allowed to repose for a time in a cool building where they have shade. After two or three days of preparation the new arrivals are put in pots and "nursed" until they give evidence of active growth. After this it is largest a question of regulating tempera- Origin of the Plano. the planoforte was directly evolved from the clavichord and the harpsichord. In 1711 Scipione Maffel gave a detailed account of the first four instruments, which were constructed by Bartholommeo Christoforl. It was named by him the planoforte and was first exhibited in 1709. Marius, in France, exhibited harpsichords, with hammer action, in 1716, and Schroter, in Germany, claimed to have invented the planoforte between 1717 and 1720. Marius was at first generally credited with the invention. Pianos of that period were shaped much like the modern grand variety. The first square plano was constructed by Frederica, an organ manufacturer of Saxony, in 1758. The first genuine upright plano was invented in England and the United States by John Isaac Hawkins, an Englishman in 1880. The catbird is our northern mocking bird. When love attunes its voice, it can warble as sweetly as the nightingale. You must catch it in one of its melting moods if you would know the charm of its liquid notes. It is not at all beautiful—no more is the mocking bird — only a gray-brown perky, restless thing, of lesser size than the robin, with the soul of song in it. The wonder of the catbird lies, of course, in this, its dual nature.

The music stopped. Craig, near the platform, released his hold on Blanche and laid his hand across the strings of the leader's violin. He realized that the rhythm must be broken at once. As if in agony the building creaked and groaned. The united swaying of the dancers had proven too great a strain for the rotting and ill-placed timbers. The floor settled. Plaster fell in dusty clouds.’ One after anoth- er the window panes crashed and tin- kled to the floor. A heartbeat of horror, and then ev- ery person stood the naked savage again. The thin film of manneis slipped off like a worn-out garment. There remained only the instinct of self-preservation. The women screamed shrilly as they faced toward the one inadequate door. The men, with bared teeth, prepared to trample down anyone who blocked their path. Every person? No. Blanche Carey did not join in the stampede. She stood by Cralg at the upper end of the hall, her hand on his arm. He, too, stood fast. # She knew what the rush for safety would mean, The doorway would be jammed; the weaker would go down, to be trampled to death. Others would be crowded off the narrow landing at the head of the stairs, to fall crushed and mangled to the floors be- low. ‘The wave of panic mounted upward toward its crest. The timbers cracked; the floor began to settle, slowly but inexorably. In a second the rush would begin. - “Hold on!” Craig's voice cut across the babel. Unconsciously they hesi- tated; no one had ever heard him shout before, “Hold on; there's no danger. Go slow. We can't, all get down at once. “Bach man take alady. Sam Dob- son, lead off. There's Nellie Smith be- side you, That's right; go slow. No hurry—no hurry at all. She's stopped falling. “Keep away from that window, you fool! What do you want to jump for? “Get back there!” He turned in time to catch the bolting piano player by the throat and hurl him back on the platform. ~~ “Line up there, I tell you! Every man take a girl. Two by two, and go slow! Go slow, I say! The danger’s all over now.” A heavy plece of molding dropped from the sagging celling and struck him on the head. He staggered, but did not fall. A trickle of blood crept down his cheek. He turned: reassur ingly to Blanche. “I'm not hurt,” he sald in an under tone. He still smiled. He shouted again: “Two by two— don't crowd at that door. No hurry, I tell you. Don’t push on the stairs.” ‘The floor had ceased to settle. Cool- er heads had recovered themselves, and were echoing his warnings. The ahob melted into an ordinary line. It went downstairs in leisurely fashion. Here a young man carried in his arms a girl who had fainted; there an other, white faced, brushed the plaster from his companton. When the floor wes clear Craig signed to the orchestra. They streamed off the platform, over the quaking, humpy floor, packing their instruments as they went. Craig offered his arm to Blanche. On his face was the smile that women derided; but she saw {t now with’ a vision that quickened and purified. She wauld never be ashamed of that smilo again. It was but the lovable peculiarity of a true man—loving and tender and brave. Impulsively she threw her arms about his neck. “Frank,” she sald, “you are my hero, cad ¥ Soon eet.

BAVIE, THE “SOY BROKER,” IS RUN TO EARTH IN BRAZIL, HE GOT AWAY WITH $300,000 Solely on His Nerve He Won Confi- dence of Men Prominent in Busi- mess—Schemes Were Many and Varled, but He Got the Money. Boston, Mass. — Robert Emerson Pavie, who was familiarly known pbout Boston, Mass, as the “boy broker,” and who suddenly disappear- ed late in November, leaving beliind him many people who are said to have lost upwards of $300,000 through en- trusting thelr money to his care for investment, has been arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and will be brought back to this city. The career of Davie {furnighes one of the most sensational chapters in local “high finagce,” for he ‘not only obtained the confidence of ‘many people tn ordinary walks of life, but also of business men of wealth, ‘prominent in public life and the /best financial standing. Not a few j9f these well known men of Boston and Massachusetts, with two or three ot international reputation, are sald | to have been among his victims. Davie had a fine suit of offices in Boston, an attractive apartment at Brookline, Mass,, and a partly finished summer place at Weston, in the sec- ton known as “millionaires hill.” His | career had been meteoric, and like the | tamous rocket, he “came down like a stick.” Starting as a moderately-paid ‘clerk in a broker's office he quickly branched out in the brokerage bust- ness for himself and is said to have made money at a rate almost beyond jbellet. One of his claims, when. suc- cess began to be his, was that he was closely allied with J. P. Morgan & Co., pend: as most of his customers and friends placed implicit confidence in |his ability and honest motives, no one | thought of questfoning this assertion. "When the inquiries were made it took almost no time to prove that J. P. Morgan & Co, never before had heard of Davie, the Boston broker. One of Davie's strongest points was his apparent—almost too apparent, on eancua ANDUGhUCpeateaniane cof olla: ae ~ fy! 7) ga we eae a \; WO, AY Wan hs Ky : uy Robert E. Davie. fous feeling. He discussed the proph- ets of the Bible with almost as much fluency as he did the profits of his brokerage investments and with equal- ly telling effect upon his ministerial and other religiously inclined friends. _ Among Davie's friends in the relig- fous fleld.was the Rey. Wilbur R. “Chapman, D. D,, the evangelist. _ Davie's deceptions and unfair deal- ‘ings are said to have had a much wider scope than the stock market, especially during the Jatter part of his stay in Boston and when he is be- Meved to have been hard pressed for money. On this latter point, however, opinions differ, some claiming that he lost about ail that he had obtained and others alleging that he left with a large amount of cash, A short time before he disappeared, Davie hired an automobile of a Bos- ton garage and paid $125 In advance for a week’s rental before taking it to New York, whore it disappeared. Later It was recovered. At the New York horse show in Madison Square garden, New York city, Davie showed a fine string of horses and even entered a coack against the Vanderbilts. Later it de- veloped that a blooded horse which he exhibited—one which was greatly edmired in the show—had been bor- rowed from a Boston friend. This ant- mal was sold for several thousand dol- lars and the owner was not notified of the transaction. Davie had gone to the Massachu- setts state prison and preached to the inmates as one manifestation of his religious fervor after the Chapman- ‘Alexander revivals two years ago. After Davie left it became known that he had been going with a Welles- ley college senior and that they were engaged, the young woman belleving that he was a young man of exem- plary character. It was a severe shock to the girl when she learned after his disappearance that Davie was married and that his wife, finding it impossible to get along with him after a few months’ e<perience, had returned to ne home cf her parenits In Hyde Park, in which town Davie formerly lived. Five Cuts on Bare Back Bring Groans From Lips of Baltimore Man. Baltimore, Md—Frank McCauley, convicted wife-beater, suffered punish- ment for his crime despite the plead. ings of his victim and helpmeet, when Sheriff Jack Hanson laid the lash across his bared back five times. The first blow made him wince. At the second, when Sheriff Hanson's arm grew pllant, a slight groan came from the victim’s Ups. At the third his effort at control became more evi- dent and his hoarse exclamation rose higher in the stillness of the jail. At the fourth stroke of the lash tears _€£F 3 el Wr si! Sg eA P ez |k fi. Sheriff Lashed Wife Beater. were streaming down McCauley’s face, but his nerve held. ‘With an angry hiss the cat-o-nine talls swept through the air for the final stroke. It made the last of the series of staring red welts upon the white flesh. This time there was no groan, Every muscle of the rigid body collapsed and McCauley hung for & moment, held only by the cords which bound his wrists to the cross, In a second he revived and walked quietly back to the jail. The jail physician declared after ex amination that he had suffered no serfous shock. FROG THAT CATCHES BIRDS Shares Fame With Mark Twain's Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, St. Louis, Mo.—Mark Twain’s Jump ing Frog of Calaveras county may be called upon to share his fame with a sparrow-catching frog of St. Louis. This frog, which is the property of Oscar Berghaus of Cote Brilliante avenue, has now gone into winter quarters in his owner's basement, but is expected to renew his activities next spring. He was captured near Alton by a St, Louis fisherman. The frog, an enormous fellow, was sun- ning himself on a log. The-fisherman pushed him off into the water with his pole, but the frog immediately re- turned. This was repeated three times, then the fisherman caught his hook in the frog, dragged him ashore, brought him to St. Louls and present- ed him to Mr. Berghaus. Berghaus dug a small pool in his backyard, built a low fence around it of mesh wire, sowed some grass seed to make tt look like a swamp and turned the frog loose there. Attracted by the grass seed some English sparrows be- e Sparrow Catching Frog. gan to haunt the place, and what wai Berghaus’ surprise, upon coming home one evening, to have his wife tell him that the frog had been catching the sparrows. He watched them himself and found this to be the case, the frog grabbing a sparrow by the leg whenever one came near him and making a brave fight for an addition to his menu. The sparrows finally be- came frightened and quit haunting the frog’s enclosure, whereupon he settled down to a quiet life interrupted only when he was transferred to his win ter quarters.

A delicious dessert of rich milk and lemon juice, called sherbet, is made as follows: | Milk Sherbet. | Juice of three-temons and a cup of ‘sugar is added to a quart of good, rich milk. Stir and dissolve the sugar and do not think it 1s ruined if the ntilk is curdled by the lemon juice, as tt will freeze smooth. | Another very pretty and nice des- sert {s made from grape juice, Use a cup of the juice, a cup of sugar if ‘the julce is not too sweet, and a pint ‘of thin cream. Freeze as usual. The | flavor and color ts improved by adding @ tablespoonful of lemon juice. Raisin Pie. . This is a ple that is very rich, but when made of good raisins is especial- ly delictous. Cover a pound of raisins with water and cook gently unt! well softened. Add a lemon; three tablespoonfuls of ‘flour, one snd a half cupfuls of sugar fand at the last a half cup of cold water. Bake in two crusts. Grape Sherbet. To one cupful of grape juice add the fulce of a lemon and one orange, one Yeup of sugar, a pint of water and a tablespoonful of~ gelatine.

During the early spring months there {s no salad more simple in prep- aration or more generally satisfactory than the lettuce and cress. - For a variety, make a nest of cress and in {t place a few carefully divided ‘sections of grape frult. Serve with French dressing made by using a ta: blespoontul of vinegar and three of ‘olive oll; a teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of red pepper. | A few peanuts rolled with a rolling pin and then sprinkled over crisp fresh lettuce and served with French dressing makes a fine salad. Young green onions sliced with fresh radishes on lettuce with a boiled ‘dressing served on cress or lettuce is ‘another good spring salad. | Cream Cheese Salad. Season cream cheese with salt, pep- ‘per and chopped chives, mold tn balls with butter paddles; arrange two or three in a nest of blanched lettuce, or If the lettuce 1s not good, out it with the shears or a sharp knife into shreds. Serve with French dressing. Stuffed Tomato Salad. Firm, raw tomatoes may be hol- lowed out and stuffed with » variety ‘of edibies. Finely diced meat, well ‘marinated with oll dressing or sea- ‘sonings, one cr more cooked vegeta- ‘bles; raw cuctimbers cut in dice and ‘mixed with onfon, water cress and ‘celery, as well as other greens and ‘fruits, which will accord with the taste. .

This delicious spring vegetable 1s expensive when first seen in the mar- et, but it is one of the most satisfac- tory vegetables "to have In the home garden. When making an asparagus bed the two-year-old roots are the most satisfactory to buy, as the shoots are ready to use the following year. Make a trench about elght inches deep, put in some good rich fertilizer and cover with a little dirt, Allow the soll to become warm, and then set out the roots about a foot apart. In the fall cover with a layer of fer- tilizer at least six inches deep, and in the spring this {s forked t@o the soll, The difference between large and small asparagus is in the amount of fertilizer used. A bed of asparagus makes a nice hedge between lots in tHe city. An asparagus bed should not be moved for years, but it must be cul- tivated. Salt should be used generously in the spring, as it is a marine plant and needs salt to nourish it. The water from the {ce cream freezer may be used with good effect if sprinkled on to the asparagus bed. During the first year the bed will need cultivation several times; after that only in the spring before the shoots start and in the fall a thick coat of fertilizer. ~ A hundred roots will produce enough asparagus to supply a family of six with all the asparagus needed. When cpoking the young, tender stalks, the best method is to tle them fn bunches and stand the bunches in the boiling water. The steam is suf- ficient to cook the tender tips and the coarser stalk ends have the more se vere heat to soften them. Appropriate sauces to serve with asparagus is drawn butter sauce, white sauce or hollandaise sauce. It any of the vegetable is left, the sauce may be washed off and the as- paragus may then be added to a salad with French dressing. ‘The tough ends may be‘ used in @ soup. Asparagus 1s medicinal in its prop- erties, especially valuable as a liver and kidney remedy. Ver ae ee ae | (eee HERE- are nettles every- = Be ee gaa moth PR ioesticuies ences Bice de tagger man.

Add one cup of milk, half a cup of molasses, and ope cup of chopped raisins or @ cup of ripe berries. Steam two hours and a half and serve with cream or pudding sauce. One cup of dates, figs or stewed prunes or chopped apple makes a variety which {s pleasing. An-egg sauce made with hot milk, sugar and flavoring makes a good sauce for this pudding. Cabinet Pudding. Butter a melon mold and decorate it with candied fruit, or with raisins botied until soft. Put in a layer of cake or lady fingers, then a few pieces of fruit, and repeat ‘until the mold ts full, of nearly so. Pour a pint of botl- ing milk into the yolks of three eggs beaten with three tablespoonfuls of sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt. Pour over the cake in the mold and set the mold into 2 pan of hot water on the back of the stove for-half an hour, then place in the oven, still in the hot water, and bake an hour. Serve with foamy sauce. French Bread Pudding. Butter small, thin slices of bread and spread with apple jelly, lay them in a pudding dish, filling it half full. Pour over a boiled custard and cover with a meringue. Brown the meringue and serve cold. * Orange and Cocoanut Pudding. Butter a tall mold, sprinkle the bot’ tom and sides with grated cocoanut, using the fresh nut. Crumble rather fine a stale sponge cake. Fill the mold almost to the top with alternate layers of cake, cocoanut and sliced or anges. Beat four eggs, add a pint of milk, a pinch of salt and three table- spoonfuls ef sugar. Baste this slowly over the mixture in the mold and let stand for 15 minutes, Steam for 45 ‘minutes. Clumsy Compliment. He was a flatterer, but a clumsy one.

And without another word she left the parlor, leaving him restfailen and be wildered. Amid a multitude of projects n¢ ‘plan {s devised. WME SEARCHLIQNT zane, corey mam Established in 1898. Ww. N.

Washington, D, C.—“It is reasonable to believe that an acrop‘ane, 1,000 yards away, would stand no show if only the service rifle were used.” That is the conclusion of navy of- ficers expressed in an official report to the navy department on the first at- tempt ever made to shoot an aero- plane shaped kite from a battle ship. ‘The experiment was made April 6, when the Atlantic fleet was at target practice off Hampton Roads. Then only the service rifle-was used in firirg at the kites. Now preparations are being made to use a threeinch gun. Phe kites used were box shaped, 4x2 feet. In the third volley, aimed at the first kite sent up the string by which the kite was being towed was cut by @ bullet and it sailed away without the number of hits béing disclosed. Of-180 shotd fired very rapidly at the second kite 40 hits were made, several cutting the braces and fram2s. “As the bunting covered not more than three-fifths of the total area or the kite as presented to the ship,” said the report, “it gave the excelleut Tesult of 50 hits out of 160 shots at an area of about five square feet at rapidly plunging target 500 to 700 yards distant in the air.” REBELS FLED FROM AGUA PRIETA When the Federals Attempted to Re- new the Fight No Insurrectos Could be Found.

A proposal for an armistice had been received by the Mexican govern. ment from the official organization of the Maderoists.. The armistice 1s asked for to avoid “international com- plications” and is evidently caused by apprehension that the United States would take a hand in themix-up. The government has sent a reply to the request that it will be glad to receive and consider .a formal pro- posal Tor a cessation of hostilities. The suggestion from the Madercist sanctioned a desire for arrangements for pourporlers of peace. It"can be said on the highest au- thority that the Mexican government will meet the Maderoists fully halt way and that no difficulties will be encountered as to amnesty or as to the honest carrying out of the reform program, On the same high authority it can be said that if the Maderoists are in the slightest degree reasonable peace is assured in a few days time, NATIONS WILL THANK CARNEGIE Pan-American >Republics Will Give Him a Medal asa “Benefactor of Humanity.” Washington, D. ©—For the tirst time in history, according to John ‘Barrett, director general of the Pan- American Union, an individual is to be honored by a group of nations, "when on May 5 Andrew Carnegie-will be given at a public gathering in this city_a gold medal voted him by the Pan-American conference held at “Buenos Aires last summer. |The medal will be presented by the government body of the unfon, acting ‘in behalf of all the American repub- ‘ies, It carries on one side the words, "The American Republics to Andrew Carnegie,” and on the reverse the phrase “Benefactor of Humanity.” A committee from the union received ‘the promtse of President Taft to at- tend the presentation, ee A POSTAL DEPARTMENT PROBE "A Resolution Introduced in the House Calis for a Rigid Investigation of Hitchcock’s Methods.

Mexico City, Mexico.—A suspen- sion of hostilities for purposes of a settlement of peace terms or a grand smash which will probably ruin Mex ico, if not wipe it off the map, is the situation in which we in the capital find the government. ‘The ministry is placing its last hope on Madero’s acceptance of a proposal for an armistice emanating from Dr. Gomez and presented to nim by the administration. In this government has played its last card, It bas noth: ing more to give. It has no support, save from the class, who, while against it, desire peaceful termina. tion of the mess. President Diaz would save the coun: try and the Americans here if he would resign and allow Lamantour and DeLaBarra to save what they could from the wreck, maintaining eanwhile a responsible head of the government. It the smash does come as has been pointed out from the first the fate of the Americans in the country would be most questionable.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE OF ECZEMA Finds Victims Among Every Race, Age and Condition. _ | Of all the diseases of the skin and scalp which torture and disfigure man- kind, threefourths are eczematous. Millions are born with éczema, and tt 4s the only thing other millions have left when they die. Neglect in infancy and childhood, irritating conditions at- fecting the skin, ignorance of its real nature, Improper remedies and many other causes that might be mentioned have created an eczema which, with varying severity, has afflicted count- less numbers during their entire lives. Eczema is a skin disease. It is not re- garded as hereditary, nor contagious, and is impartially distributed among the rich and poor, the high and low. ‘The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual- ly the most distressing symptom and {s caused by the bursting of little vesicles filled with an acrid fiuid, which burns as with fire the denuded skin. New vesicles form, fill and burst, scales form upon scales, and crusts upon crusts until disfigurement is added to torture. One of the most successful treat- ments for eczema, whether applied to the youngest infant or the oldest per son, is hot baths with Cuticara Soap and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint- ment, For more than a generation, these pure, sweet and gentle emolll- ents have proved the most efficient agents in the speedy and permanent relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes, itchings and irritations of the skin and scalp. Although Cuticura soap and ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, in order that those who have suffered long and hopelessly and who have lost faith in everything may make trial of them without charge, a Mberal sample of each will be mailed free to any ad- dress, together with a 82-page pamph- let, giving a description and treatment of the various forms of eczema, as well as other affections of the skin, scalp, hair and hands—send to “Cutl- cura,” Dept.

Courage and the power of the hu- man eye,” saved Walter Sargent, a prosperous rancher, in the Redwood district, San Jose, when he was con- fronted by a hungry mountain lion the other evening.

Man and’ lion remained as immovable as statues for a few seconds and then the animal turned and trotted away. gai toa: “Why are hotel bellboys-called ‘But- tons?"” “Because they're always off when you need ‘em most.” a OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS French Boy Caused Merriment by Take ing the Order of the Court Too | Literally, A droll Incident fs reported as haw ing taken place in one of the pr ‘ovine cial appeal courts in France. 4 twos, about fourteen, was summoned to siya evidence, and his appearance was such as to move the whole court to !ay ghe ter.

John Lane, the well-known publisher, said at a literary dinner in New York: "As an editor I find nobody so persistent as the amateur contributor. If the amateur were half as ingenious in writing his material as in trying to land it, he would become a Dickens in no time. "An amateur said the other day to an editor I know: "Allow me to submit this bear story." "My readers don't care for bear stories," said the editor. "They want something spicy." "But this," said the amateur, "is a story with a chinamon bear." Country's Oldest Weaver. Mrs. Melissa Hodgdon, aged seventy-five years, who runs four looms in the weaving department of the York Manufacturing company, at Saco, Me, and claims the distinction of being the oldest weaver in the United States, began work in this plant 55 years ago the middle of this month. COFFEE CONGESTION Causes a Variety of Ails. A happy old lady in Wisconsin says: "During the time I was a coffee drinker I was subject to sick headaches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days, totally unfitting me for anything. To this affliction was added, some years ago, a trouble with my heart that was very painful, accompanied by a soothering sensation and faintness. "Dyspepsia, also, came to make life harder to bear. I took all sorts of patient medicines but none of them helped me for any length of time. "The doctors frequently told me that coffee was not good for me; but without coffee I felt as if I had no breakfast. I finally decided about 2 years ago to abandon the use of coffee entirely, and as I had read a great deal about Postum I concluded to try that for a breakfast beverage. I liked the taste of it and was particularly pleased to notice that it did not come up as coffee used to. The bad spells with my heart grew less and less frequent, and finally ceased altogether, and I have not had an attack of sick headache for more than a year. My digestion is good, too, and I am thankful that I am once more a healthy woman. I know my wonderful restoration to health came from quitting coffee and using Postum." Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason," and it is this. Coffee has a direct action on the liver with some people, and causes partial congestion of that organ preventing the natural outlet of the secretions. Then may follow billiousness, sallow skin, headaches, constipation and finally a change of the blood corpuscles and nervous prostration.

JOASH REPAIRS THE TEMPLE Sunday School Lesson for April 23, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-2 Kings 11:21-12:16 Memory Verse 11. GOLDEN TEXT-"Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly."— 1 Chron. 29:9. TIME-In the twenty-third year of Joash's reign, 864 B. C. (Beecher), 821 B. C. (Hastings). Joash was slain in the fortieth year of his reign, 847 B. C. (Beecher), 303 B. C. (Hastings). PLACE-Jerusalem, and the Temple. KINGS-Hazael is king of Syria; Jehoahaz has succeeded Jehu in Israel; in Assyria Shalmanezer II. has died and Shalmanah-rhamman has come to the throne. Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord while Jeholada the high priest was alive, but after the death of that good man Joash allowed the people to become idolaters again. Even during Jeholada's life, moreover, the worship at the high places was allowed to go on. These local sanctuaries were held to be conducive to true religion. The Temple was his boyhood home, his safe refuge for seven years from the murderous cruelty of Athallah. In the Temple lived his best friends. There he had been crowned. No wonder he came to love those courts, and to sorrow over their dilapidated condition. Joash called together the priests and the Levites, and bade them draw from the regular funds for the Temple restoration. This money of the dedicated things, the money consecrated to religious uses by the people, was obtained from three sources: Money of every one that passeth the account; that is, the poll-tax of a half-shekel paid by every male Hebrew above the age of 20 whenever a census was taken. Money that every man is set at; "All the assessments. Money that cometh into any man's heart to bring: The free-will offerings of the people for this purpose, which might be large. The church workers, even when they take thought for the church, have little heart in their work. "The facetious Sydney Smith had two yokes of oxen on his little farm in Yorkshire to which he gave the names of 'Tug' and 'Lug,' 'Haul' and 'Crawl.' These would be appropriate names for a large class of church members who put no heart into their Christian work. It is mere tug and toll and task to them. There is a lack of co-operation. A minister called upon a member who had been neglecting the week-night service, and went straight up to the fireplace in the sitting room, and with the tongs removed a live coal from off the fire, and placed it on the hearth, then watched it while it turned from the red glow of heat to a black mass. The member in question carefully observed the proceeding, and then said, "You need not say a single word, sir; I'll be there on Wednesday night." No church fire can burn brightly if the coals are pulled apart. Though many other reasons might be given for the failure when church work falls behind, it is all summed up in one cause, the absence of Christ. "Getting Christ into the people will solve the problem of getting people into the church," and getting them to work when they are there. With the frankness and openness with which all church matters should be treated, Joash sent for Jeholda and the subordinate priests and asked them, with some indignation, "Why repair ye not the breaches of the house?" A very simple plan was adopted, appealing directly to the religious zeal of the people. A wooden chest was taken, and a silt was made in the lid for the money to pass through. This was set beside the altar. How did Joash's plan succeed? Admirably; it brought in much money. People like to give directly to a cause, to know just how their money is spent. They are far more likely to respond to special than to general appeals. The king's secretary and the high priest went together to the chest, counted the money, and put it up in bags. It was then given to the overseers of the work, and they paid it out to the carpenters, builders, masons and the men that furnished the timber, hewn stone, and iron and brass. Nothing was spent on mere ornaments—everything was devoted to the solid repair of the fabric. In all church work progress is made only by fixing upon a goal and allowing nothing to turn one aside till the goal is reached. The crown of Joash's life was what he did for the house of God. Such work will be the crown of any life that undertakes it. There is room in God's house for all kinds of workers and all degrees of skill. Even the youngest scholar in the Sunday school can make a helpful contribution to the Temple service. Work for the church should be progressive; we should become more efficient church workers every year. To this end it is necessary that we begin young, just as singers and piano players begin young. "Jack of all trades and master of none" is as true of church work as of work in secular callings. Every young Christian will be wise if he selects some line of work for God and cultivates it as his specialty. It may be singing, or teaching, or social work, or administrative work, or evangelistic work, or the use of the pen. Whatever it is, he cannot make the selection too early or begin too soon on his preparation. It will be the very best work of his life, and it deserves the best years of his life and the fullness of every one of his powers. You Look Prematurely Old DAUGHTER WAS CURED By Lydia E.

STILL IN HIS POSSESSION Remarkable Coincidence in Sum of Money That Rastus Had In Hie Pocket. Rastus was on trial, charged with stealing seven dollars and eighty-five cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as he was unable to hire an attorney, the judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as counsel. Clearem put up a strong plea in defense, and Rastus was acquitted. Counsel and client met a few minutes later outside the court room. "Now, Rastus," said Clearem, "you know the court allows the counsel very little for defending this kind of case. I worked hard for you and got you clear. I'm entitled to much more pay than I'm getting for my valuable services, and you should dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got any money?" "Yes, boss," replied Rastus, "I done got seben dollahs and eighty-five cents." Too Fresh. Will you promise to support my daughter in the style in which she is accustomed if I consent to your marriage?" demanded old Skinkflint, when Dobby made his formal proposal. "Well, I—I'll promise to be tolerably close with her, Mr. Skinkflint," said Dobby, "but you know, I'm a soft-hearted cuss, and I'm afraid she'll be able to wheedle a few things out of me that you were strong enough to refuse her."—Judge.

THE PRICE OF LAND INCREASING THE "BACK TO THE LAND" CRY IS EFFECTIVE. Traveling through the state of Iowa the other day, and Iowa is no exception to the story about to be related, the writer was shown a farm that was offered three years ago for $250 an acre. That appeared to be a high figure for land upon which the owner depended upon the crops of corn, hogs and cattle that could be raised upon it. But it wasn't. A few weeks since the farm changed hands at $250 an acre. Over in Illinois, down in Indiana, up in Wisconsin, across the line in Minnesota, the same experience was met with. And then attention is directed to Canada, which has been the Mecca of so many hundred thousand Americans during the past few years. Not only in Eastern Canada has the price of lands increased, but in Western Canada, during the past few weeks, farm lands have increased from three to five dollars an acre, with the prospect of a similar advance during the next three months. The reason for this is very apparent, and in a few words it may be pointed out that the lands are worth a great deal more than the present prices. The Northwestern Agriculturist of Minneapolis, a paper that was one of the first of the American farm papers to discover the real merits of the lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, says: "The reciprocity schedule would encourage American farmers to move to Canada, where the virgin soil will produce greater crops of grain with less labor than can be produced in our own farms in the Northwest. The result will be to enhance land values in Canada." This paper is afraid land values in Canada will be enhanced at the expense of land values in the United States. In face of the fact that land values in the United States are increasing the reasoning scarcely holds. The reason for the advance in value of Canadian lands is partly accounted from the fact, admitted by this paper, that Canada's virgin soil will produce "greater crops of grain with less labor." But that is not the only reason. During the past twelve months $20,000 people have made Canada their home and these are mostly of the farming class. They want farms, and the demand as well as the wealth of the soil is regulating the price. A study of the increase in the acreage of land put under crop last year, which can be had from any Canadian government representative, will prove the point, that the demand is increasing at a greater ratio than even the most sanguine would have predicted. Symptoms Were There. "Your husband might have a little solid food directly he begins to mend," said the doctor. "But how am I to tell?" inquired the anxious wife. "The convalescent stages of influenza," replied the doctor, "are marked by a slight irritability." "The next day he called and found the patient's wife radiant. "When I refused to order his steak and onions," she explained, "he came into the kitchen and smashed fourteen soup plates and a dinner service; so, of course, I sent out for steak at once."—Stray Stories. Grippled by Tuberculosis. According to a recent report by Dr. Conrad Biesalski of Berlin, there are 75,000 cripples in the German empire out of a population of 60,500,000. Over 50,000 of the cripples are in need of proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski states that in 15 per cent of the cripples examined, their deformity was due to tuberculosis of the bones and joints, and that there were 10,000 such children in great need of medical treatment. He advocates the establishment of a seaside sanatoria for this latter class of cripples. We Give Away The People's Common Sense Medical English, or Medicine Simplified, by R. R.

Negro Wins Medal For New York-For the second time in the history of Columbia university, a Negro student has won the Curtis medal for excellence in public speaking, one of the highest scholastic honors in the gift of the faculty. This year's victor is George W. A. Scott, whose subject was: "Child Slavery." Scott's oration proposed a national law for the supression of child slavery and the creation of a national children's bureau under the department of commerce and labor. "I stand here pleading for no race or creed," declared Scott, "but I say this: The nation which forty years ago was able to lift the shackles from 4,000, 000 Negro slaves, should certainly be able to free 2,500,000 children." The first colored student to take a Curtis medal was Pka Isaka Sime, the son of a Hotten-tot chieftain, who was the winner in 1906. NEUTON, KANSAS There will be a concert given at the A. M.

A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would come to do so.—Lippincott's Ma ```markdown ``` At 1446 N.

Attested Chas. D. Fazel, Clerk By J. L. Gilchrist, Deputy Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and plashing they dance, they sing, they catch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finn's book.—Ladies' Pictorial. Peculiar African Races. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and flth, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kaffres live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the lake river. They build their huts on the great ante nests which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kifue is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and meailles are likewise grown Her Criticism. The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels her self to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the younger hesitatingly. "It's nice, but it's head's loose." Some Singular Wills One of the most singular wills ever recorded was that of a British sailor who requested his executors to give his wife a shilling to buy hazelnuts, so she had always preferred cracking them to mending his stockings. But subtle, however, was the sarcasm of will proved in 1830, in which a wife was left $2,500, but was only to enjoy it after her death in order that may be buried suitably as my widow. A French merchant bequeathed a large fortune to a woman of his acquaintance to show his gratitude. Her refusal to marry him 20 years be fore.
