YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. PLEA FOR NEGRO FARMERS. World Made up Two Classes of People. Negro Very Slow to Learn Who Are His Friends and Who His Vampires. Negro PJosperity All Around. FOURTEENTH YEAR PLEA FOR FARM World Made up Two Class Slow to Learn Who Ar His Vampires. Negro When we were children they used to tell us a story about a man owned a goose tha omt laid one golden egg every day; but the man was an avaricous man and wanted to get a great many golden eggs at once, and so killed his goose — with very disappointing results. This ancient legend hos many applications. Our world is made up to two classes of people those who are content to get rich slowly, increasing their wealth along with the general prosperity of the country, and those who must get rich right away, even though they must destroy some other means of production in the process. These two classes show themselves very quickly when they come to deal with ignorant Negroes, and pre-eminately with country Negroes. The Negro of the farm is usually a very simple hearted person, easily imposed on, and it is a true test of a man honesty when he deals with one of them. Unfortunately the poor Negro is often very slow to learn who his friends and who his vampires. There are plenty of honest merchants in every county, but the Negro often falls into and stays in the hands of the other kind. There are some people who do not believe that anp Negro has a right to get rich, and are acturally indignant when colored men gets to the place where he can afford to live like prosperous white men. Among this class there seems to be a sort of fear that Negro prosperity means white poverty at it hfthe Negroes are allowed to accumulate property they will soon rule the country, and so use every effort to keep him from saving anything. There are land owners who refuse to sell him land. Money lenders overcharge him, and merchants who encour age him to buy on credit in order to keep him continually in debt. Now, the man who tires to to keep the Negro farmer in poverty is of the same class as the man in the fable who killed the goose. The two races are going to get rich or remain poor to- gather. Negroes prosperity mean prosperity all around. At least one sixth of wealth of this country, and as much larger proportion in the State at large, is the creation of Negro farmers, and the more these Negro farmers do raise the more there will be for all of us. Where a farmer owns nothing but one mule and one plow he cannot produce much. If that farmer could have a little from year to year and buy a better impliments and fertilizers we would all feel the efforts of his increased crops. It outfiht to be a fixed policy of us, who are in authority, to encourage the black farmer in every way. Our colored farmers are, as a rule, good people; they are law-abiding, peaceable and temperate. There are some petty thieves among them, we must admit, and their moral relations with each other not always commend able, but when all this has been said there are few places in the world where life and poverty are safer than in the Black Belt; but this is especially true in those sections where many of them own their own farms. It gives a maz self-respect and a feeling and responsibility to own property and have to take care of it. We are glad to see some goon institutions started among the Negro farmers. One of the best of these is the Farmers' Union, that is establishing local unions in every county. These unions meet one or two times every year and discuss methods of improving rural conditions. They always become white visitors and are glad to get advice and encouragement from them. There are among the Negroes some of the most earnest and as tireless workers for the good of their race to be found anywhere. We ought to know these leaders They are outspoken and uncompromising in their opposition to the saloon and to the loose livin so common among their people. A few have caught a vision of a better moral and higher standards of life and they are diligently preaching their doctrines in th highways and hedges. Let us help them on. The general level of any country will rise with the rise of the Negro. A few years ago while traveling through Sumter county I met a young physician in Black Belt, and during our conversation he gave voice to a sentiment so noble that it deserves quotation: "He is a very poor white man and a very poor American citizen who is afraid to take his chances on equal footing with any man of any nation. Let the Negro rise as high as he can; for every step upward that he takes I will take an upward step myself, and I intend to keep as far ahead of him as I am now. And if it takes competition with Negroes to bring out the best that is in me, then thank God for the Negro," The Negro at best will always be a comparatively poor man, and will, as far ahead as any of us can see, occupy a subordinate position; he is not going to over top the Anglo-Saxon. Let us lay aside those foolish fears and lend a helping hand that he may rise as high as his native capabilities can carry him. Ex.

Character Above All "Character is worth more to the human family than anything else in the world. I would rather have it said of me in my old age than have a monument of pure gold built over my dead body, reaching from earth to heaven. I would rather have it said that they could find no accusation against him except it be touching the law of his God." than have all the world can give. Dwight L. Moody. Such inspiration should strike to the core of every human being If the Negro would only give a part of his time to the consideration of these inspiring words and lay a foundation within his mind to build for himself a spotless reputation that make those who evil speak of him, SET UP AND TAKE NGTICE. If this policy was followed it would not be long before our side of the RACE QUESTION will be settled, We must patronize the highest principals in man if we wish to attact the attention and admiration of the man that is up. The road to success is open to us. God has given us health and talent, let us put it on exchange. Get in mind every one of you to pull together, Organize financial corporations, take stack, and hereby help to raise capital and start the kind of business you are talkkini so much about. Help some yourself, instead of finding fault of others. Ex. The editor of the Searchlight, W. N.

Lawrenc NO.27 JACK JOHNSON TO RETIRE London, Oct. 2,—"After finishing mh contracts in England I will never put on the gloves in public again. I shall retire as the heavyweight champion of the world," So spoke Jack Johnson, the big Negro puglist today, after his proposed fight with Bombadier Wells which was scheduled to take place today had been formally abandoned, While the utterance of the champion came as a surprise to the general sporting public, it was not so to those who have been in his confidence during the past two weeks. Since the crusade was begun to prevent the bout the big Negro has been in anything but a gentle frame of mind. Johnson Is Mad To many persons with whom he was friendly he was vehement in his denunciation of the clergymen, business men and officials who opposed his bout with Wells Despite the suggestion of many sporting men to call the bout off Johnson doggedly stuck to the declaration that the fight would take place as scheduled. "This howl from the clergymen is a good thing," he said often "It will advertise the bout and bring people to it." When the injunction was issued against the losses of the Earl's Court, where the bout was to have taken place. Johnson voiced his opinion of the English public and after Promoter White and the lawyers for byth fighters appeared in Bow street Police Court and gave a formal understanding to cancel the bout, and Johnson made the positive statement he would retire from the ring. The W. T. Vernon Club met at the residence of Mrs. Thomas on N. Santa Fe Friday. An interesting meeting was held, after which all partisapated in a delightful luncheon was served by the hostess.

We wish all those who brought their Job work to us this week, of which we highly appreciate. CALL AGAIN. COMMISSIONERS ALL CHOSEN TWO REPUBLICANS SELECTED FROM LIST OF BIX. Board Which Will Build New Capitol is Composed of Business Men and Contractors. Jefferson City, Mo.—A. A. Speer of Chamois, who was speaker of the forty-fifth general assembly, a man of large business experience, and Theodore Lacaff of Nevada, a widely known contractor, were chosen as the two Republican members of the new capitol commission by the board of permanent seat of government. This completes the appointments upon the commission. The two Democratic members chosen at previous meetings of the board are E. W. Stephens of Columbia and Joseph C. A. Hiller of Glencoe, St. Louis county. In suggesting these men the governor said there were a number of other estimable Republicans, business men or lawyers, who had been recommended or were applicants, but he deemed it advisable to suggest for appointment men with a technical knowledge of building. What he wanted to do, he said, was to supplement the business qualifications of the Democratic members with men of building experience, which would tend to round out the board and render it more effective. NOW A KAFFIR CORN CARNIVAL Butler County, With the Biggest Crop of This Grain in the World, is to Celebrate for Three Days.

Butler county is the biggest kaffir corn county in the world. Many other counties have greatly increased their area of this crop, but Butler leads them all and the people feel so good over it that they are preparing to have a kaffir corn carnival lasting three days, October 18, 19 and 20. Eldorado will be decorated with kaffir corn. The announcement says that the occasion "will be celebrated with parades, exhibitions, music, speeches by men of national prominence, bonfires, illuminations, masque ball, log rolling and a free feast of kaffir corn cakes and coffee."

LIKE THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD Another Pennsylvania Dam Breaks Destroying Three Towns—Fire Completes Destruction. Austin Pennsylvania.—Between 850 and 1,000 lives were lost when this town and Costello and Wharton, below here, were destroyed by the bursting of a dam. The reservoir of the Bayless Pulp and Paper company burst and a wall of water 25 feet high swept down Freeman's run at a speed estimated at a mile a minute. Frame buildings were carried away. Stone and brick buildings were crushed. Fire broke out in the debris and completed the ruin. The dam, which was 530 feet long and 49 feet high, was 32 feet thick at the base and held back more than 500,000,000 gallons of water. Many persons, crushed and helpless in the wrecks of buildings only partly destroyed by the water, were consumed in the flames. Twenty-four known dead 86 missing and believed to be buried beneath the debris, is the official census of Austin's loss of life in the flood. Allowing for errors in compilation, the total dead probably will reach 150. The property loss will exceed $6,000,000. It is doubtful whether the town ever will be rebuilt. Two at least of the large plants will not be reconstructed and a majority of the business men of the place have been ruined financially.

The governor's detectives collected evidence showing more than 25 places where liquor was sold in Kansas City, Kan., and they had the names of 12 men who could furnish additional evidence. All this was on file with the governor and when the attorney general was directed to begin the inquisitions at Wichita, Corcordia and Kansas City, Kan., the governor said he would furnish the evidence taken to Dawson.

The other day I supposed I was talking to central, and here it was only my grocery. I do think there are some queer mukups in this telephone service. What I want now is to find out the telephone number of Mrs. John Smith—S-m-4th. Smith. I find that there are more than 100 persons of that name in the book, and I don't know which one is the husband of the lady I want. She is a large lady with a florid face and prematurely white hair, and I think her husband is a traveling man, and a brother-in-law of hers, named Jones, lives somewhere on M street—a stoutish, elderly gentleman with white shirts. Kindly let me have Mrs. Smith's number at once. I had it on a ship of paper that I can't find. Seems to me it was two-four-sixteen ring three, or none-two-sixty-four ring two.

The "SEE AMERICA FIRST"Crusade GREAT national convention will be held in the city of Baltimore next January with a unique object in view. The purpose of the gathering is to promote the "See America First" movement and to devise means of arousing sentiment on the subject throughout the length and breadth of the United States. President Taft has already expressed his entire sympathy with the movement and promised to be present and speak at the convention. It is likewise expected that the governor of every state in the Union will either be present in person or be officially represented by some spokesman of standing in the commonwealth from which he hails. In addition to the national and state officials there will be prominent men and women in all walks of life and many persons who are deeply interested in the project for unselfish reasons. The "See America First" crusade has gradually taking form and gaining supporters for several years past, but the forthcoming gathering in the Monumental City will be the first effort to supplement sentiment with practical "missionary work" among ```markdown ``` ONE of the SHOWPLACES of FLORIDA GRAND CANYON OF Arizona COPYRIGHT made by M. A. PARKER ONE of the SHOWPLACES of FORIDA the people of the whole country. The character of this crusade is pretty well explained by its title. To put the matter in a nutshell, the object is to induce all Americans to see their own country before crossing the ocean to look at scenery that in no instance surpasses and in few instances equals what we have here at home. The people who are behind the movement want to not only impress their fellow citizens with the fact that we have the most wonderful scenery in the world here under the Stars and Stripes, but they want to also conduct a "campaign of education" that will inform every tourist and vacationist and pleasure seeker where he may see the particular class of scenery that most appeals to him. To this end it is proposed to hold in connection with the Baltimore convention a pictorial exposition wherein will be shown paintings and photographs, etc., of the most attractive scenery on this continent. If a man likes grand and majestic mountain scenery he will be informed just where he may find this to the best advantage. Or, if on the other hand his preference is for the boiling, tumbling surf of a rocky sea coast he will be given pictorial pointers as to where to seek it. In short, the exhibition and convention are designed to do away with all cause for the complaint so often made that we Americans do not devote the proper time and effort to seeing the scenic wonders of our country because we have not been sufficiently informed as to how much there is worth seeing. Patriotic loyalty has inspired many of the prominent men who are taking up this "See America First" propaganda—a feeling that it is a shame to see Uncle Sam's citizens wandering off to the uttermost parts of the world to view scenery the equal of which they could find on this side of the Atlantic and which they might enjoy with none of the incidental discomforts that come to a stranger in a strange land, struggling with a language and a money system he does not understand. However, there is a yet more potent or at least more practical reason for the activity in the awakening of our brainy men to the menace to be found in the yearly drain of American gold into foreign coffers. Each succeeding season sees new and larger steamers added to the trans-Atlantic passenger-carrying fleet and millions upon millions of dollars of American money is taken to Europe by the tourists who rush eastward by the thousand. Were it not for the untold wealth that is thus handed over to European railroads and hotel proprietors, shopkeepers and all the other purveyors to the globe-trotters, the balance of trade would always be heavily in our favor. Great Britain and the various continental countries are compelled to buy heavily every year of our food stuffs and cotton and other commodities, but the sums set down, in consequence on the credit side of our ledger are usually counterbalanced by the total of the money spent abroad by Americans on pleasure bent. The public-spirited citizens who have enrolled in the "See America First" crusade hope to influence some people by moral suasion to stay at home and enjoy our own scenic feast instead of seeking a foreign substitute. They realize, however, that for the most part they must use some other argument than patriotism. The man or woman with money saved up for a trip or a vacation is likely to go wherever he or she believes that they can get the most for their money without regard to the nationality of the people who rake in the shekels. To convert such a person to the "See America First" doctrine it is necessary to prove to him that he can actually receive as much for his money in the way of travel, education, diversion and enjoyment here in the land of the free as he can across the big pond, where so large a portion of the people make their living out of the expenditures of American tourists. This, then, is the aim of the crusaders who --- --- A GREAT national convention will be held in the city of Baltimore next January with a unique object in view.

Nor do they lack for inspiration in debate if any person essays to question their claims. If a skeptic does not admit conversion when they point how superior are Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Park, the Yosemite and the Grand Canyon to any scenic masterpieces throughout the whole length and breadth of Europe, he can be depended upon to have to haul down his colors when they marshal facts and figures to prove how much more marvelous are the Rockies than are the famed Alps; how our beloved Mississippi outshines the sto- Powder Grow Grow Powder Grows Human Skin The market for human skin is going to pieces. Where it once commanded $25 a square inch up it bids fair to be soon just human skin, with no value except to its original possessor. Heroic husbands, fathers, sons and sweethearts who bravely let themselves be stripped of their hides to cover some death threatening gap on the bodies of their beloved may soon cease to have opportunity for such devotion. A little red powder one can get in any paint store is astounding the surgeons with its performances as a substitute for the heroes and their skins, the New York correspondent of the Denver Republican writes. Scarlet red is its name and a dollar's worth will keep a busy surgery in stock for months. It is mixed with vaseline or other components as a salve and applied to the edges of the gaping wounds. He tells of scarlet red growing new skin at the rate of three millimeters in forty-eight hours on one of his patients. His report on its use in Johns Hopkins hospital, published in a medical journal, did much to bring the strange little aniline dye to surgical notice here and elsewhere. It was taken up in the post graduate and the German hospitals here last spring. Then its use was experimental. Now it is uniformly used in every case where burns, wounds or ulcers have stripped the epidermis from any area of a human body. "The results have been astonishing, even baffling," said Dr. F. William Steelchmann of the post graduate, and also connected with the German hospital. "There is just one thing about its use, however, that should be generally known," Dr. Steelchman said. "Where surgeons in the dis- Then you can almost see the skin grow.

Marie, Mich., than he could hope for in gazing at the rock at Gibraltar. Many people in the east have gained the erroneous impression that the "See America First" crusade is solely a movement designed to induce the people of the east to visit the west and particularly the Pacific coast. That such an impression has gained credence may be attributed to two circumstances. For one thing many of the most notable scenic wonders of the world are located in western America, so that naturally there is sound logic in advising people to see them before risking seasickness to view something not half so impressive. Secondly, there is the circumstance that the people east of the Mississippi river His Human Skin He tells of scarlet red growing new skin at the rate of three millimeters in forty-eight hours on one of his patients.

"Where surgeons in the dispensary have used it and applied the dressings the results have been marvelous. Where patients have used it themselves the results have been unsatisfactory." seem to be more prone than are those west of it to rush off to Europe without having traveled to any extent at home, so that the communities near the Atlantic seaboard are particularly in need of such missionary work. But, for all that, the movement is neither local nor sectional, but is broadly national. To be sure, the champions of America for the Americans, in a scenic sense, do urge people to see the Big Trees of California before they go to the Black Forest, and to view the Golden Gate before they seek the Bay of Naples, but at the same time they are urging our fellow citizens who have time to devote to travel to awaken to the miracles of nature that may be found in every section. No globe-trotter can find in his wanderings anything more wonderful than the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky and the natural bridges of Virginia and Utah. No foreign watering place presents beach spectacles equal to those of Atlantic City and there is no lake district in the world more beautiful than the Adirondacks. For the American with any patriotism in his makeup no tour could be more inspiring than visits to the first landing place of the Pilgrims, Concord, Lexington, Bunker Hill and the other historic meccas of New England, and finally, the tourist should not forget Uncle Sam's seat of government,—conceded by foreigners to be the most beautiful capital in the world. One thing for which the "See America First" crusaders are working is to get the idea out of the minds of Americans that all sightseeing must needs be done in the summer vacation season. There are many classes of people, take, for instance, the farmers, who find it almost impossible to leave home in midsummer, but who could very readily take a trip in the autumn or winter. Efforts are being made to point out to these people that there is just as much which can be seen to the best advantage in winter as there is in the category of summer show places. Indeed, it is only at such times, when it is chilly or snowing in the north and west, that one may enjoy maximum comfort in quaint old New Orleans, in Florida or in southern California, all of them districts worthy to vie with anything in southern France and to Italy. The broad policy of the "See America First" movement calls upon its devotees to not only induce people to give New World scenery the preference (and Canada is, of course, included), but also to do everything in their power to make traveling in America comfortable and to reduce the cost. Indeed, the claim that one may travel more cheaply in Europe than in the United States is one of the arguments invariably advanced by people who argue for foreign travel. However, the greatest need of American tourist regions is more good hotels,—not necessarily high-priced fashionable hotels, but good, clean, neatly-kept hostelries where the traveler who is not a multimillionaire may obtain wholesome, well-cooked food and a comfortable bed at a price that is not two or three times what his earnings would be for the day's labor if he were back home. There has been great improvement in this direction in late years, but there is plenty of room for further betterment. Another need is lines of reasonable priced public coaches traversing regions not traversed by the railroads and which in many instances are now a closed book to people who cannot afford the luxury of an automobile. Coaches such as are operated in Yellowstone Park and on Gettysburg battlefield might well be introduced in other scenic or historic districts. Unpopularity Demanded. "How did you come to elect that man? He never seemed to make friends." "We didn't want a man who makes friends," replied Farmer Corntossel, "as much as one who don't object to enemies. We wanted a watchdog of the treasury." Jack—So you had a high time on your vacation? —Yes. I was up in the mountains. Altitudinous. AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. North Bros. Stock Co. The Lyceum Theatre (formerly Crawford Grand) having been entirely remodeled, is now being used as a permanent stock house. North Bros. Stock Co. has been engaged for the entire season and is now in the sixth week of its engagement. The policy of both house and company is to offer the best plays available for stock production and to charge a uniform price—one price, in fact—for any seat—25 cents. This price is a new departure in stock, but is proving very satisfactory. No matter what the play the price remains the same. This week the offering is "Arizona," by Augustus Thomas. The play enjoys a national reputation and is recognized as a typical American play. The scenic effects are of an unusual nature and materially assist in making the production A1. The company, which is the strongest stock company in the southwest has been cast in congenial roles. A feature of each performance is the concert rendered by the Biehl Family Lady Orchestra prior to the stage performance. Next week beginning Monday, Oct. 9, "David Harum" will be offered with "Sport" North as "David." Prices the tame—25c. "Don't Lie to Your Wife." Rowland and Clifford will present the comedian of "Isle of Spice" and "Royal Chef" fame, Dave Lewis, in the song farce, "Don't Lie to Your Wife," at the New Crawford on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 5-6. Mr. Lewis will be remembered for his success in this play at the Whitney Opera house in Chicago, last season. Ordinarily when a production of this caliber goes on the road the presentation is diminished nine times out of ten in the brilliancy of the Chicago run. But not so with Dave Lewis' company, for the production is held intact, and Mr. Lewis will positively appear in this city. The theme was supplied by Campbell B. Casad, a New York newspaperman, who used his experience on metropolitan newspapers in furnishing the dialogue which sparkles with the keeness wit and satire. Mr. Lewis has been seen in many comedies, but his friends say he shows the strongest in Casad's offering. Critical Sense. "That youngest son of Bilgins seems to have the making of a true musician in him." "Does he sing or play?" "No. But he cries piteously when Bilgins tries to." Supreme Cant. Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world, though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst, the cant of criticism is the most tormenting—Laurence Sterne. A.

They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid cut in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world."—Home Notes. --- MAN HAS NO RIGHT TO SCOFF Not so Many Years Ago He Was Crazy Over Dress Himself. No, brother, men have not always been so indifferent to dress as they are today. Their ralment, as compared with the darnfoolishness of woman, hasn't always been above reproach. Consider, if you will, the days when our respected forefathers would draw on their lavender-colored pants with a shoe horn, using a little slippery powder, maybe, to help things along, until people looked at their feet and wondered if the pants hadn't been sewed up after the feet got through Consider their tight boots—made so tight that they caused the most exorculating agony. And remember that the dandies of that day would carefully polish these burning, blasting, pinching, agonizing boots and then step carefully with the toes in a mud puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. O, yes, they did it. And of course you know that a bootjack wasn't used merely because the boots might soil the hands, but because nobody had invented a stump-puller in those days and applied it to the removal of tight boots. And remember the bell-crowned hats, and the dingbats and jimcrakes they hung on their watch fobs. And the fancy waistcoats and the frilled shirts. And going even further back, consider what historical drawings give us of information as to ancient dress—the knee breeches with gorgeous rosettes—the brilliant buckles on the shoes—the cream-colored cloaks with mauve satin linings. And the white silk stockings that the excelsior would show through. Think of the bepowdered and becurled wigs when you rave at rats on women's heads and repent of your scoffing words. Face powder? Perfumes and scents? Sure they had 'em. Patches on their complexion—yes, and rouge. They sure were pretty men those days. And going back to the Indian—think of his war paint, of his gaudy blanket, his stained arrows, his painted pony, his bear-rolled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so pretty now. Only he really hadn't牙aughter scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese hair switches and things. He really hadn't牙aughter. As a Buncher. We is one of the most bothersome words in the language. It is responsible for more misunderstandings than any other ten words put together. An editor will start out conscientiously to give his opinions. He will begin by saying "We think," meaning himself. A latter later he will say "we," meaning his advertisers. A few lines farther down he will use the word again, meaning the class of people who read his paper. Then his heart will soften and expand. He will become eloquent with the use of "we," meaning the whole community or the entire human race. Then suddenly he will bethink himself and reflect that his is a party organ and "we," the party, is paramount after all. Whereupon he will divest himself of opinions in which the people at large have no interest, or as least no profit. All this is very confusing. The unsuspecting reader struggles along trying in vain to separate the we-goats from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's exactly what the editor is striving for and sometimes he is the most confused of all. We was invented to conceal thoughts—Life. Kaiser's Insult to a Courtler An incident very reminiscent of such pettiness was told to Tip the other day by an American just returned from Berlin. It seems one of the Kaiser's suite, a noble of high rank had incurred the imperial displeasure. The Kaiser did not wish to lose this gentleman's services, but apparently desired to humiliate him for the real or fancied offense. At one of the state dinners shortly afterward, the noble was seated half a dozen places from his ruler. Beside him sat a woman of title, whom he had known from the time both could walk. The two conversed animatedly, Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned forward and exclaimed in a harsh voice: "Prince, it is not etiquette to firt at my table." The man thus addressed rose to his feet and bowed low. The next day he resigned and retired to his country estate, although it is well known he received a personal letter of apology from Wilhelm II. Not to Be Fooled. Proudly young Tomkins displayed the sights of London to his uncle, fresh from the verdant country. They visited St. Paul and the Embankment and the National Gallery and all the places they could get in free, and, as an especial treat, they visited a music hall, where a trombone solo was in progress when they entered. With rapt attention the old man watched the instrumentalist's facial contortions. At the close the audience applauded thunderously, but the old man sat mute. "Well," said young Tomkins, "didn't you like it?"

Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norden's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on these subjects. Address all inquiries William A. Radford, 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The first important work in building is the excavations for the foundation walls. All complete plans specify that trenches should be left with natural bottoms, level and smooth for the reception of walls, piers, etc. Not long ago, a workman, in digging a trench for a center wall in a large city block, misread the directions, and got the excavation a foot deeper than the specifications designed. The contractor called the owner's attention to it, as an honest man should, and offered to build the wall from the bottom up if the owner would pay the bare cost of the extra stone; but this the owner refused to do, whereupon the contractor very naturally dumped in loose earth enough to fill up the original depth. The building was completed and accepted by the owner; but, after a lapse of six months, the center wall settled sufficiently to crack the plaster in every room above it, clear to the third story. It was a block of flats occupied by six families. Three of the families moved out, because they thought the building was not safe to live in. This led to a lawsuit between the owner and the contractor, which is not yet settled, and which may last for a term of years in the courts and may cost each party a good deal more than the excavations and walls for the whole building. I mention this simply to call attention to the necessity for the exercise of a little common sense in connection with the different parts of the building reaching all the way from the bottom of the trenches to the peak of the roof. It is not always best to stick hard and fast to the strict terms of the contract, even when you know 42 you are right. Of course a man don't want to be run over by anyone. Every one in business finds out early in life that he must stand up for his rights or have them taken away from him. The old Bible admonition which instructed everybody to accept a whack on both cheeks won't work in this country as society is constructed at present. Another thing the owner needs to have an eye to is the excavation for Park Kitchen Bath Garage Dining Room Sitting Room Bath Wet Lab Park First Floor Plan. drains, catch-basin, cesspool, etc. The workmen are not interested in the little details the same as the owner, and the health of the workmen and their families is not at stake afterward; so the escape of a little sewer gas here and there does not mean the same to them that it does to the owner of the property, especially if he expects to live there himself. You may make a solid contract, and the contractor will live up to it; but you have no guar- antece that he will do so, and you can't get at the underground details after the trenches are filled. So the only way to know whether the job is done right or not is to inspect it as the work progresses. Of course, you can hire a man to do this; and generally you can depend upon a man hired for such a special purpose, especially if he is not too intimate with the contractor or foreman. I prefer to have an inspector who is a stranger in the neighborhood, a man who is not personally acquainted with any other man on the job.

I once stood in the doorway of a cooper shop where slack work was being manufactured; flour barrels were being turned out in great quantities. One cooper working directly in front of me fitted a hoop very carefully over a knot hole in a stave. I watched him do it, and he saw me im- THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM mediately afterward. He excused himself by saying: "There are trick. in all trades but ours; coopers are all honest." Well, some carpenters are as honest as the day is long, and it has been my very pleasant experience to come in contact with a great many such men in the building trade. I think 99 per cent. of the mechanics that have worked for me are upright and honorable men; but I am all the time looking for the one hundredth man, because I have a deep-seated conviction that he is tricky. You might happen to meet him first go-off. The little rascal might be the first pea out of the pod when you open your building contract bids. The house design illustrated in the perspective and floor plans herewith is 35 feet wide and 45 feet long, exclusive of porches. Where everything is favorable, the house could be built without furnace, mantel or gas fixtures, for about $2,300—say $2,500, complete and ready to live in. The house has many features to recommend it. You will notice that the rooms are especially large, and that every room is bright and sunny. Of course it is expected that the house will face the south or east. If I should build such a house on a lot facing north or west, I would reverse the plan, because I think the best rooms of the house should be continually used by the family, and they should be as bright and cheerful as it is possible to make them. The unfinished attic room over the kitchen is a convenience that every housewife will appreciate in the winter time when she is obliged to hang the family washing inside because of snow and rough weather. A good many conveniences are required in a modern house, and some of the things are never thought of until after the house is finished. Then it is easy enough to see how things could have been different. Toodkins' Interference By SUSANNE GLENN (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) "Evelyn," said the young man, leaning anxiously over the veranda rail toward the girl in the big rocker, "I want you to marry me, right away!" "You are standing on the violet plants," said Evelyn Foyler, with a distressed wrinkle on her brows. The young man stepped back, apologetically. "I—I hope I haven't injured them," he stammered. Then, with renewed determination, he mounted the steps, and sat down squarely on the rail itself. "You haven't answered my question yet," he remarked, as coolly as herself. "I did not know it was a question, Richard." ful things," he pro you come with me. "That is a good p aded, but I show comforted, Dicky would show a little the fate of poor T oe. Nearly a week pa of the missing pe nning, as his mistress chair, she beheld a stride up her walk object in his arms. "Toodkins!" cried "Oh, Dick, sit o about it. I had g him, and here he is as white as snow. Toodkins!" "Then I will make it a question. Will you marry me at once?" "But we were not even engaged," persisted this exasperating young woman. "I have asked you every full moon for the past eighteen months, without fail, though I had to travel three hundred miles once in order to do so!" The girl laughed. "Still, we are not actually engaged, you know," she suggested gently. "There has to be an announcement, and a ring, and endless 'showers' before one may seriously consider getting really married!" "Then announce it tonight, Evelyn, and I will have the ring here tomorrow morning as soon as you are up!" "That would be 'at once', Dicky!" "But why this unwonted haste? Is there some dark secret you wish to hide from me?" The young man leaned over and took possession of two hands that lay listlessly in his ardent grasp. "I may as well tell you the truth—I am miserably, maddeningly jealous!" Miss Foyler drew up a little haughtily. "And you wish to marry a person whose conduct would leave room for jealously?" "I wish to marry you, certainly. Can you doubt it, Evelyn?" He laughed, a self-deprecating little laugh. "I can doubt anything after such an extraordinary declaration." "But it is because I love you, dear, that I am jealous. I do not say there is any real cause. I only want you where other fellows will know their limitations." "Do you think," she asked crisply, "that I would know—mine?" "Evelyn! Do you suppose I do not know you are the soul of honor? If you will say you do not care, I will leave off bothering you; but—think how I feel being held off at arm's length, watching the other fellows making the innings! It isn't fair, Evelyn." "You may as well tell me what you really mean," said the young lady in a displeased manner. "There is something behind all this!" "Why do I find young Holden here every evening?" demanded Richard Robinson sharply. "That is precisely what I mean." "I find him most charming," murmured Miss Foyler duremely. "Such polished manners; it is really quite delightful and restful to associate with someone who never blunders, or—or—or neglects one!" "If he loved you as I do," returned the young man, dropping her hands reluctantly, "he might not be so sure of himself in your presence." "No, no, Toodkins!" a little sharply, as a huge white cat, walking leisurely round the board rail toward them, presented a friendly head to an immaculate coat sleeve. "You are too generous with your whiteness!" Miss Foyler reached out solicitous hands for her rebuffed pet, and buried her face in his fluffy neck, producing a delightful song from the complacant Toodkins. "Never mind, dearie, so long as I love you!" she murmured with reflective accent. "Then I need not bring the ring in the morning?" inquired the young man with the utmost cheerfulness. "No, Dicky, save your money," she answered, giving him a friendly hand in farewell. "But," she added, when he was safely down on the gravel walk, "you certainly are the dearest boy in the world for all your blundering!" "I suppose it has become a sort of habit," she murmured, watching him stride down the moonlit street. "But he did it unusually well this time! "And how much," she inquired of Toodkins who perched wisely on the arm of her chair, "do you suppose he really about about poor Harold Holden?" Next evening as Robison turned in at the gate to call upon the mistress of Toodkins, he encountered Holden on a similar errand. In the porch they were met by a distracted young lady. Toodkins had disappeared! "He will easily be found, I can assure you," crie! Holden when they had listened to the distressing details, clapping on his hat, as he hurried away on his errand of mercy. Robson, rejoicing in the turn affairs had taken, sat down in a comfortable porch chair. "Why don't you go look for him, too? Do you not see I do not care to talk?" demanded Miss Foyler, much annoyed. "But it isn't good for you to sit here alone, thinking all sorts of dread." The girl laughed. ful things," he protested. "Suppose you come with me?" "That is a good idea," she acknowledged. "but I should feel much more comforted, Dicky Robison, if you would show a little more concern over the fate of poor Toodkins!" Nearly a week passed, with no trace of the missing pet. Then one evening, as his mistress sat in her plaza chair, she beheld a smiling young man stride up her walk with a fluffy, white object in his arms. "Toodkins!" cried the girl. "Oh, Dick, sit down and tell me about it. I had given up ever finding him, and here he is, happy and fat and as white as snow. Oh, the dear, dear Toodkins!" "I suppose you mean expensive?" observed the young man, sitting down comfortably in a swing seat near. "I owe every policeman and small boy in the city. In that sense, Toodkins is a very dear cat!" The girl laughed mischievously. "But tell me, Dick, all the particulars. Oh, but you will get a long mark for this day's work. If this could have happened last Thursday there is no knowing what 'the full of the moon' might have brought you!" "I'm going to change to the new moon for luck," observed Robison, swinging thoughtfully, "so be prepared. And I'm going to wear a handkerchief over my left eye so I'm sure to see the crescent over my right shoulder. Oh, it's a sure thing this time, Evelyn, so you may as well give up the struggle! I've ordered the ring, and I stopped in to tell several of the girls on my way up here to hustle up the showers as it is to be a very hurried affair." "Will you tell me about finding Toodkins?" asked Miss Foyler with frosty precision. "There isn't much to tell. I had about given up finding the poor fellow, when I chanced to see him in a window of a comfortable looking house. The family had to admit it was not their cat; so I bore him away in triumph! Toodkins himself will have to furnish the particulars." "How very singular," observed Evelyn. "I never saw Tood go to a stranger before!" "Stranger! Good Heavens, child, am I not as good as one of the family? Have I not rescued Tood from a homesickness and regret for his lack of geographical knowledge; and you from the depth of a black sorrow? Am I not merely waiting for the moon's omen, to proclaim you mine to the world?—you and Toodkins!" "There was a long silence on the shadowy veranda, broken only by the song of the animated ball of white fur on Robison's knee. "Come over here, Evelyn, and sit with me," begged a contrite Richard, at last. "The cat shows more gratitude to me than you do." Miss Foyler allowed herself to be persuaded. "I may be a blunderer. And I did not bring any blue roses—but I brought the cat back!" he observed. "Yes, you are a blunderer," she murmured in a voice that caused the young man to take her suddenly in his arms. "The dearest blunderer in the world, Dicky," pressing her cheek contritely to his. "You haven't been here once in the past week that your coat was not sprinkled with—white cat hairs!" Senator Erve as a Humorist Senator Frye as a humorous senator Frye had a splendid sense of humor and fund of anecdote. His reminiscences were most entertaining. His characterizations were singularly accurate. It was he who spoke of Martin Maginnis of Montana as the senator who had more certificates and and fewer chances to sit down than any one else he had ever known. When Buffalo was represented in the house by a flighty and erratic youngster, who must be nameless, and a severely prim elderly statesman, Mr. Frye expressed his wonder that so flourishing a city should desire to be served by "a corpse and a lunatic." He told, on his return from Paris, of his fruitless efforts to acquire French. Schooling himself so as to give directions to his barber, after repeated efforts, he heard the tonorsal artist exclaim: "Oh, if you could only speak a little English!" And Mr. Frye liked the story. Wedded Glooms. "The Neverbegays appear to have brought their troubles with them to the hotel." "Poor things! How did you hear?" "I overheard them myself on the veranda. He began to talk about having to attend to the furnace next winter and she reminded him that they have no coal in the cellar yet." "Grace, that waitress gives you all the best portions." "She's a college girl, earning some summer money." "But why should that make you so strong?" "Oh, we belong to the same sorority." Remarkable Work "What do you regard as the most remarkable work in the English language?" "Well," replied Miss Cayenne, "the most remarkable work in the English language that I know of is the way some Englishmen pronounce it." Work Can Be Done More Quickly and Easily Than In the Old-Fashioned Manner. The darning and mending of bed and table linen, towels, etc., can easily be done on a sewing machine. Several sewing machines have a special attachment to be used for this purpose, but the work can be done without it. When using the machine to darn your linen the edges of the hole should not be trimmed, as the stitching weaves over and under the ragged edges. An embroidery hoop is useful in doing this work, as it spreads the material smoothly and keeps the threads from drawing up and puckering. The cloth should be placed over the hoop wrong side out and the ring turned over when working, so that the material will lie flat under the machine foot and the right side be seen. A small needle and fine cotton should be used and the tension of the upper and shuttle thread made loose and the stitch made as long as possible. The presser foot should not be lowered, so that the work can be done back and forth without turning the hoop at each row. Starting parallel with the thread of the linen, a row of stitching is made along the edge of the hole of the opposite side, then back to the starting place, sewing across the hole, just as if the material were there. A small space should be left between rows. After the lengthwise rows are finished, the ring should be turned and the crosswise rows put in, running back and forth, so as to have an irregular outline around the edges and bringing the rows of stitching close together. If the hole is too large to be covered with machine stitching, a piece cut from an old napkin may be used to mend the cloth. The table cloth is put over the loop in the same way as it would if the cloth were to be darned with stitching, then the piece, which should be cut larger than the hole, is basted on the wrong side of the material over the hole, without turning in the edges. The stitching is done back and forth over the raw edges. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Newer wrap steel or silver in a woolen cloth. Use softest tissue paper. Peel onions from the root upward and they will not make your eyes smart. Save cold tea left from supper and use in place of water on your house plants. Insects like neither salt nor alum and enough adheres to the carpet to keep them away. Starch should be mixed with soapy water, for thus the linen will have a more glossy appearance and be less likely to stick to the iron. Silver teapots that have not been used for some time get musty and so give a peculiar flavor. This can be prevented by putting a lump of sugar into the not before putting away. Marks of matches on white paint will be found removable if the marks are rubbed with half a lemon and then washed with whiting, after which they should be rubbed well and dried thoroughly. It is a mistake to leave out a number of large silver pieces unless you have competent help to take care of them. Dingy silver is most unattractive and it takes a good deal of time and elbow grease to keep it free from tarnish and bright as silver should look to be really attractive. To Clean Jars. The easiest way to clean and sweeten the old glass jars is to wash them carefully, then put them in the wash boiler with enough cold water cover them, and add enough good soap powder to make a strong suds. Allow them to come to a boil and keep covered; take from the stove and leave to steam until cold, keeping covered. If the jars are to be used at once, rinse them with hot water and fill rapidly. $ ^{*} $ Cup Omelets Butter half a dozen custard cups and fill lightly with equal quantities of stale bread crumbs and cold meat, chopped fine and seasoned well.

Lesson In Good Manners When the "Boy Scouts" movement was at its height, three of the youngsters journeyed from Baltimore to Washington to be introduced to the president.

"Up to 2 years ago," a woman writes, "I was in the habit of using both tea and coffee regularly. "I found that my health was beginning to fail, strange nervous attacks would come suddenly upon me, making me tremble so excessively that I could not do my work while they lasted; my sleep left me and I passed long nights in restless discomfort. I was filled with a nervous dread as to the future. "A friend suggested that possibly tea and coffee were to blame, and I decided to give them up, and in casting about for a hot table beverage, which I felt was an absolute necessity, I was led by good fortune to try Postum. "For more than a year I have used it three times a day and expect, so much good has it done me, to continue its use during the rest of my life." "Soon after beginning the use of Postum, I found, to my surprise, that, instead of tossing on a sleepless bed through the long, dreary night, I dropped into a sound, dreamless sleep the moment my head touched the pillow. "Then I suddenly realized that all my nervousness had left me, and my appetite, which had fallen off before, had all at once been restored so that I ate my food with a keen relish. "All the nervous dread has gone. I walk a mile and a half each way to my work every day and enjoy it. I find an interest in everything that goes on about me that makes life a pleasure. All this I owe to leaving off tea and coffee and the use of Postum, for I have taken no medicine." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

"I suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. I kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, then I went to a doctor and got some liquid to take. It seemed as if I was going to get better. The itching stopped for about three days, but when it started again, was even worse than before. The eczema itched so badly I couldn't stand it any more. "I went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but didn't do any good. We have been having Cuticura Remedies in the house, so I decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and then put the Cuticura Ointment on. The first day I put it on, it relieved me of itching so I could sleep all that night. It took about a week, then I could see the scab come off.

MEMORY VERSE—9. GOLDEN TEXT "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."—Rev. 22. TIME—This prophecy of the Life giving stream was written B. C. 572, "in the beginning of the year." It was near the middle of the 70 years' captivity (605-586). The earlier prophecy of this second part of Ezekiel were written 12 or 13 years before in 586. 6. PLACE. It was written at Tel-abib on the river Chebar in Babylonia, to the estles scattered throughout that region. PLACE IN HISTORY-It belongs to the second part of Ezekiel's prophecies, the object of which was to prepare the people for their return. It was like leaven working during the 36 years before the people were fitted to begin anew in Palestine. Nebuchadnezzer, king of Babylonia. Daniel still living as a statesman. In our last lesson we studied the warnings by which God, through his prophet Ezekiel, would persuade Israel to so repent and return to God, that it would not be necessary to permit Jerusalem and the Temple to be destroyed. The people refused. The city was destroyed. The Temple was burned, and its treasures borne away by the Chaldeans. The best of the people, those in which were the greatest possibilities of good, and the largest capacity for being trained, were sent into far distant exile, for their schooling; very much as their ancestors were disciplined and trained in the wilderness that they might be enabled to take possession of the Promised Land. They were as sheep without a shepherd. Their former rulers, whom God had placed as shepherds over his people in their own land, had proved false, and instead of leading them to the green pastures and still waters of obedience and righteousness, had done none of the things a ruler-shepherd ought to do. They killed the flock instead of feeding it. They neglected the sick. They left the flock to be torn by wild beasts. They let them be "scattered upon the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them." Now God promised them a true shepherd. Ezekiel became one of "the Society of Encouragers." The new day was yet nearly 50 years in the future, but the promise and the hope and the goal were from this time before their eyes. The possibility of redemption, of a new life of blessing, of a glorious and perfect heaven, is one of the first essentials for escaping from a life of sin. The assurance of a perfect earth, of the transformation of this world into the kingdom of heaven, is strength, courage, success for those laboring for this object. In order to attain this hope, and realize this promise, it was absolutely necessary that they should have a change of heart. The heart in Scripture denotes the center of man's personal activities. It is the organ of thought, the seat of the affections, and all moral impulses, of choice, and love. From a right heart flows a right life, from a wrong heart flows a wrong life. A home of worship, a temple or church, hours of Bible study and worship, sacred days, some forms of service or ritual, persons set apart for religious teaching—are essential to the cultivation of religion and the progress of the truth. These forms and airs must indeed be filled with the spirit. They that worship God "must worship him in spirit and in truth." Hence these visions of Ezekiel. And in fact, there grew up among the exiles, religious organizations, synagogues, schools, Sabbath keeping—which prepared them for their return and their restoration as the visible people of God. The temple was the symbol of God's permanent presence. One thing only was wanting, the waters of eternal life, the Holy Spirit, in each one who receives, a well of water springing up into everlasting life. It is the stream of salvation, widening into the gospel, flowing through the centuries. On the east side of the Jerusalem temple there is a valley which leads to the Dead sea. The healing waters, "a soft flowing stream, regarded as a symbol of the silent and unobtrusive influence of the divine presence in Israel, came from God, through his sanctuary, the source of all good, all power for salvation. So six centuries later the powers which have changed the world, the widened stream of salvation, came from the risen Saviour. It cannot be useless to insist upon a clear understanding of the relative positions of the threshold from below which the waters proceed forth, and the Dead sea which is to be healed thereby. The river brings life, wherever its waters flow. The Dead Sea, wherein "it is impossible for any form of life to flourish, not even salt-water fish," it fills with fish as many and great as in the Mediterranean itself. It heals the heavy sulphurous waters and they are filled with living things. So the new life that God was bringing to the exiles, would change all their discouragements and hardness of heart, their tendencies to sin and idolatry, all their heathen surroundings and influences which had deadened their consciences and darkened their hopes into despair—all this deadness into life and love and hope and obedience, into new energy and activity of all the fruits of the Spirit. So the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ transforms the deadness of the sinful human heart into the fullness of spirit blessing and activity in right-ousness.

In a commanding strength that come from a good, sound stomach. "No one cares to hear a dyspeptic lawyer to hear a power in a commanding strength that come from a good, sound stomach. "No one cares to hear a dyspeptic lawyer to hear a power in a commanding strength that come from a good, sound stomach. "No one would think of entrusting an important legal case in the hands of a dyspeptic lawyer, any more than he would care to entrust the hands of a physician to hear a dyspeptic lawyer who is nervous, irritable or a dyspeptic. Men must have good digestion, strong nerves and vital manhood in order to be able to function either in medicine, law or business. "I believe that more than half of the divorces can be traced to ill health. I believe that dyspepsia is a treatment, for divorces nearly all forms of indigestion and nervousness. It makes old stomachs almost as good as new. Its marvelous power for digesting food and nutrients, its ability to rich red blood. This, in turn, strengthens the nerves, builds up the general system, and will surely prolong life and health, to live and do the things allotted to us."

TOO MUCH FOR SMALL BRAIN Big Word Meant an Effort, but This Little Girl Made Brave This incident occurred just after a Jewish holiday. It was in a third grade school in Cleveland in a district of Russian and Hungarian Jews. The teacher was explaining the meaning of the word judicious. She asked the children to give her stories about the word. After several had given illustrations about the judicious use of money, the teacher said: "Now, give me a story about something judicious, without money in it." A little girl finally volunteered. She said: "On our holiday we had roast goose and a whole lot of other Jew dishes." "Biggins says he is for the plain truth." "Yes," replied the frank philosopher; "but so many people think they are standing up for the truth when they are merely standing out for a difference of opinion."

HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT Fraternal Orders, Labor Unions and Insurance Companies Erect Tuberculosis Sanitoria. As an investment in the health of their members, four large fraternal orders, two international labor unions and one of the largest insurance companies in the United States have established sanatoria for the treatment of tuberculosis, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The Royal League, the first fraternal order to establish a sanatorium, conducts a hospital for its tuberculous members at Black Mountain. The Modern Woodmen of America conducts one at Colorado Springs; the Workmen's Circle, one at Liberty, N. Y., and the Independent Order of Foresters have one at Rainbow Lake, N. Y., and will soon open a second one at San Fernando, Cal. The International Typographical union has since 1898 conducted a sanatorium at Colorado Springs, and the International Printing Pressman and Assistants' Union of America has recently opened a new institution at Rogerville, Tenn. A leading life insurance company is now erecting a sanatorium at Mt. McGregor, N. Y., which will be the first of its kind established by an "old line" insurance company. HIGHLY AMUSED.

Finna 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 splashing they dance, they sing, they watch 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. When Tower Loomed.

REMARKABL.E IN THE DOG LINE. Prod Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his addlers three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. The Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room."

Antigulty of the Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pckr become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strassburg acquired a universal reputation. BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeits, but from a theough and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeit. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeit for the instruction of his cashlers, he is advised to have the young men study the genuine carefully, and there will be no trouble in detecting the notices—National Magazine.

RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Beaked Whales and West Indian Echinoids Are Described in the Bulletins of the National Museum. The United States National museum has issued two bulletins in the quarto series. Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is "An account of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of the United States National museum, with remarks on some specimens in other American museums," by Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of the department of biology in the United States National museum. The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three genera only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradius, and to the discussions of these with their individual species Doctor True has devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No. 24, is "On Some West Indian Echinoids," by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulletin is the list of North American and West Indian Echinoids, which he has carefully compiled from the specimens obtained by the Blake and the Albatross. The bulletin is beautifully illustrated by 16 full-page plates of these interesting forms of marine life. BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ETH QUETTE FOR OCCASION. If King of Beasts Falls to Realize He is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Away With Becoming Dignity. The etiquette to be observed when a peacefully inclined tourist or explorer meets a lion in the jungle is described by Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguished British surgeon, in this book, "Uganda for a Holiday," just published in England. "The tourist coming to British East Africa," he says, "is sure to inquire as to the line of conduct that should be observed when a lion is encountered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the following: If the lion when met with is walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should be allowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stops and stares at the tourist it is proper that the tourist should 'Shish' the animal away, as he would an obtrusive goose on a village green. Should the lion be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist is advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature. If, after 'bis, the lion still fails to realize that he is de trop, the tourist is recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands." Sir Frederick Treves has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. "The rhinoceros is the embodiment of blind conservatism," he writes. "Its hide is impenetrable its vision is weak, while its intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and a sense of smell. It is aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is new. This object need not be a thing that is aggressive or inconvenient. Its offensiveness depends upon the fact that it is unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. "When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal violence, although the man may be merely sitting on a stool reading Milton. The massive beast will dash at him like a torpedo or a runaway locomotive simply because the smell of him is novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innovation, the rhinoceros has charged an iron water tank on the outskirts of a camp and has crumpled it up as a blacksmith would an empty meat tih. "A conservative rhinoceros with a senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda railway, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoceros in this case, it appeared surprised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an additional grievance and an increased swelling of the head." Tournament on Sea Horse Rumor has often told us of sea horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside. Faith is, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington bay, on the north shore of Long Island, actual sea horses are daily capering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. The strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingeniously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an aggressive tail. As soon as one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, although tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by themselves, they are flends incarnate as soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in a manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the beach at Huntington is a tournament in which armed knights, each astride of a prancing sea horse, face each other for battle royal. The riders are equipped with long lances, well wadded at the end with "stuffing." With there the knights paddle their course to each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins. Qualification for Office The little trial I have had of public employment has been 99 much disgust to me; I feel at times temptations toward ambition rising in my soul; but I obstinately oppose them. "But thou, Catullus, be thou firm to the last." I am seldom called to it, and as seldom offer myself uncalled; liberty and laziness, the qualities most predomnant in me, are qualities diametrically contrary to that trade. We cannot well distinguish the faculties of men; to conclude from the discreet conduct of a private life, a capacity for the management of public affairs, is to conclude ill; a man may govern himself well, who cannot govern others so; and compose essays, who could not work effects; mene there may be who can order a siege well, or would ill marshel a battle; who can speak well in private, who would ill harange a people or a prince; nay, 'tis peradventure rather a testimony in him, who can do the one, that he cannot do the other, than otherwise From Montagne.
