THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT A DEFINITION OF EDUCATION. By N. B. COPELAND, WICHITA KS. FOURTEENTH YEAR First let me quote the definition embodied in the Prussian National System. It is given shortly as the harmonions and equable evolution of human power of the soul to be unfolded, every crude principal of life stired up and all nourished one sided culture be avoided, and the impulses on which the strength and worth of men rest carefully attended to. This definition which is pointed against narrowness generalty may have had special reference to the many omissions in the schooling of the foregone times, the leaving out of such things as bodily or muscular training in the senses or observation, training in art or refinement. It further insinuates that hitherto the professed teacher has failed to do much even for the intellect for the higher moral training or the training with a view to happiness or enjoyment acting on this Ideal, not only would the educator put more pressure altogather on the susceptibilities of his pupils, he would also avoid over doing any one branch. In the very remarkable article on Education is stated to be, to render the individual as much as possible. Before entering upon the consideration of this difficulty, the greatest of all. I will avert to some of the other views of Education that seems to err on the side of including too much. Here, I may quote from the younger Mill who like his father and unlike the generality of the theoists starts more scientific with a definition. I find in the article "Education" in Chambers Encycloyaedia a definition to the following efforts, in the widest sense of the word a man is educated either for is from the cradle to the grave, but in the more limited and usual sense the term education is confined to the efforts made. We may at once face the problem of general knowledge The most troublesome half of the education of the intellect in the getting possession of generalities A general fact notion or truth is a fact recurring under various circumstances or acompaniments A still higher form of self-reflected sentiments is that designated by the love of Praise and Admiration. We neccessarily feel an enhanced delight when our own good opinioe of self is echoed and sustained by the expressions of others. This is one of the most stirring influences that man can exert over man, It exists in many gradotions according to our love regard or admiration for the person bestrowing it as well as our dependence upon them and according to the member joining in the tribute. In discussing Education questions there occur certain terms and phrases that suspend great issues and yet are of ambiguous import. Some of these refer to the faculties of the mind as Memory, Judgement and Imagination whose scope needs to be clearly comprehended. To enter into or concieve other peoples feeling is an exercise in Sympathy or Moral Education and is also a means of enjoyment of history, poetry and Romance. It is one of our consequences of our life experience, our social dispositions, and our acquired knowledge but is not very easily brought under school lesson. Like moral teaching generally it may be quickened by an apt teacher in some happy moment but cannot so far as I am aware be made to recur upon a pre-arranged plan. I will now glance at the leading branches of human culture with a view to seize the characteristic mental efficacy of each. I do not propose to take up every assignable acquisition but merely those things that enter into the ordinary course of school education. There are various departments of valuable training that properly come under individual self culture; such are games art, and accomplishments. The carrying out of our design involves a full consideration of the 2 two leading departments, Science and Language. These comprise the great mass of human information in its purest types and should be thoroughly appriased before entering upon mixed subjects, such as Geography and History. Fine art will be touched on and then adjour- ned to a chapter apart. The mere purely mechanical acquirements as Drawing and Handicraft will be considered only in there subservience to Intellectual Education. To Mrs. M Worthy Mat Chapter No. He is not dead But just transp THE CURSE OF PREJUDICE Two Incidents Showing Bad Home Training For Children. One Tuesday an old colored lady was standing on Broadway and a nicely dressed little white girl attempted to cross the street car track in front of a moving car, not seeing the car of which means certain death The colored lady grabbed the child, held it back thereby saving its life. The child looked up into her face saw who it was and jerked away, exclaimed: "Don't put your hands on me, you old nigger!" A white gentleman who saw the incident remarked, "You don't get thanks for what you do." A little later a little colored girl was crossing the track on Court Street in front of a moving car, not seeing this car and would have been killed (Mayor Martin's little boy was killed near the point later in the day) but a white gentleman who was near caught the child and saved her life. Looking around, seeing who it was she cried out; White man, don't put your hands on me!" These incidents go to show that the wrong home training is being given in both white and colored homes when the little tots of each race so readily express and show bad feeling one toward the other even when a friendly act is being done. Parents should correct this error.

We are brought togather by order of District Deputy Chief Mentor, S. S. Washington to pay tribute to a noble man, whose influence has done more to cement the bond by which we are bound togather in common brotherhood than any other individual effort put forth for the promotion of our Mystic Otder. Whereas: The Supreme Being has seen fit to take from our midst one loved and respected by all who knew him in the person of Sir. Knight W. N. Miller. He has been a consistent christion and a member of the A. M. E. Church having been led to Christ by Rey. S. S. Washington He organized the Knight and Daughters of Tabor in the city of Wichita. The Order grew very rapidly and gathered strength in its forward march. Sir Knight Miller did not spare the time nor money and he, with the aid of his faithful wife, ustd all means that were at command to build a lasting and beneficial order. Since which time the order has taken its place and ranks with the greatest organization of the world. It has had strong oppositions at every effort put forward but "Forward" was the Motto. Thus the organizer has lived to see his work firmly fixed on solid basis, going onward & upward and gaiaing strength daily. This order meets the necessities and wants of the colored people. It encourages Christianity, Education, Manhood and womanhood. It recommends to its members the getting of homes and the acquiring of wealth. It teaches the greatness goodness of mercy of God, and mans responsibility to Supreme Being. Sir. Knigh Miller is held in great esteem and honored by all members of the great Order. He was the steady patient plodder, who encouraged, kept up his spirit. Wherein: lay the secret of his success, that wraps itself as if by magic around our hearts. Sir. Knight Miller has been ill for some years, he gradually grew weaker from day to day. His doctor, family and friends did every thing to retain him on earth, but the Lord sain to his faithful follower "Come Home" and Sunday at 11:50 a. m. his spirit obeyed the summons and he bid fare well to his church on earth and in the church triumphant he has taken his place among the repeemed.

Our village church yards and family burial grounds will be assereed. All will come forth with one proud anthem whose choral and thunders rolling along the paths of space will shake the universe with its bursting choras; "O death where is thy sting?O grave where is thy victory.

CALL AGAIN, ROAD DEDICATION DATE SET CENTRAL ROUTE OPENING TO BE OCTOBER 27-28. No Further Postponement Probable for Missouri's Cross-State Highway Celebration. Jefferson City, Missouri.—Weather permitting, the cross-state highway, known as the central route, will be officially opened October 27 and 28. This was the result of a meeting held here between Governor Hadley, members of the state board of agricultural, the state highway engineer and some fifty representatives from the counties on the route. There has been so much rainately that members of the motor clubs in Kansas City and St. Louis feared to attempt the trip over the newly made roads. State highway Engineer Hill advocated a postponement, as did also representatives from Boone County, who expect to entertain 10,000 visitors en the occasion. A plan suggested by Governor Hadley finally was adopted. The special committee having in charge of arrangements will meet here and if the weather is good between now and then the celebration will be finally announced for October 27 and 28. Meantime, the people along the route will be asked to turn out all along the highway October 25 and 26 and put it in the best possible condition for the celebration. If the weather proves unfavorable the committee can then make such change in date as deemed best. CHANCE FOR CHEAPER SUGAR Contemplated Move to Remove Duty is First Gun in War Between Beet and Cane Interests. Colorado Springs, Colorado.—The statement of John Arbuckle, New York refiner and coffee magnate, that he will go before congress to fight for free sugar is the first gun in a contest between the beet sugar manufacturers and the cane sugar refiners. That is the assertion of Clarence C. Hamlin, chairman of the executive committee of the United States Beet Sugar Industry, in a statement just made public here. Referring to Mr. Arbuckle, Mr. Speckels and other sugar refining magnates, Mr. Hamlin said: "The fact of the matter is that beet sugar is the only competitor those gentlemen have. From it they can exact no toll and every pound of beet sugar produced means one pound less for them to refine. Their purpose in seeking its destruction is therefore clear." SOCIALISTS GO INTO BUSINESS Co-Operative Store and a Weekly Newspaper Planned by Topeka Branch of Organization. Topeka, Kansas. — A co-operative store, to be operated upon the profit-sharing basis, is being planned for Topeka by the Independent Socialist league. Arrangements were formulated at the last meeting of the league to sell shares for $15, with the stipulation that no one may buy more than one share. The store will be opened before the first of November. A weekly Socialist paper is another venture which this league will undertake. The editor will be Comrade Bush of Oakland. The paper will also be conducted on the co-operative plan. A voting contest will be instituted to select a suitable name for the paper. Motor Car Burns Up.

MORE VALUABLE. Governor and Faculty Members Will Visit Wisconsin and Other States for Ideas. Lawrence, Kansas.—The University of Kansas is to be made for Kansas what the University of Wisconsin is to that state. Gov. Stubbs the board of regents and Chancellor Strong have agreed as to the desirability of thus widening the scope and the activities of the university. Within the next few days the governor will head a party of university professors, the regents and Chancellor Strong on a visit to Wisconsin to study the organization and methods of the Wisconsin school. Accompanying the governor on his Northern trip will be among others, Rodney Edward of Reno county, James A. Kimball of Salina, Scott Hopkins of Topeka, Chancellor Strong and several members of the faculty. The Kansas party probably will visit other schools—Iowa and Minnesota at least—to secure ideas, but the great purpose of their visit is to find out about the Wisconsin plan. Richard R. Price, director of the university extension department, has adopted from the Wisconsin school the idea of a reference library for the aid of the Kansas municipalities. What Mr. Price is doing in municipal work, as a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas, Gov. Stubbs desires to adopt in every department of the school. He wants the university made the bureau of information for the state government, for the business men, for the schools and the cities, just as the agricultural college is becoming the director of the farm industry of the state. OPPOSES CENTRAL ROUTE LOOP State Highway Engineer Will Ask That Original Route of New Road Across State Be Followed. Fayette, Missours.—Curtis Hill, state highway engineer, said in a speech here, to members of the Commercial Club, farmers from the county and representatives from towns along the Central Highway Route that he would ask Governor Hadley and the state board to rescind their recognition of the loop routes which passed through Fayette and Booneville and that the sate route pass through Fayette only, thus avoiding the loop. Mr. Hill said that Howard county had done more work on its roads than any other county in the state, excepting Lafayette County, and that this route seemed more practicable than the other. These resons he gave for his change of mind and further said that he was sorry that he had recommended the loop. Two Fruit Shows This Winter.

NOTICE THIS BRESSING ROOM CURTAIN! TRIED TO PASS ON SAME TRACK Missouri Pacific Freight and Passenger Trains Meet Head On—Seven Dead and Many Injured. Omaha, Nebraska—Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 105, known as the "Omaha Express," which left Kansas City at 12:40 a. m. for Omaha, collided with an extra southbound fast freight a half mile east of Glimore Junction, eight miles south of Omaha, killing seven, including the brakeman of the passenger train, and probably fatally injuring four others. Eighteen passengers are known to have received serious, though not necessarily fatal injuries. At the point of collision the track makes a sharp curve, shutting off the view of the Fort Crook station. When within a few car lengths of each other both crews realized the danger and reversed their engines. The momentum of the passenger, however, was so great that in a moment it was piled high upon the freight engine, which had almost stopped. The crews of both engines jumped and were not dangerously injured. It was said at the Missouri Pacific station in South Omaha that while Conductor Gross had "signed off" for orders, he had either failed to check the register for No. 105 or had forgotten to transmit the order to his engineer. J. R. Russ, division superintendent, at once began an investigation into the cause of the wreck.

The Bodies all Found Together in Bed Room—Motive for Crime Not Known. Ellsworth, Kansas—William Showman and his entire family, wife and three children, two girls and a boy, were murdered while they slept at their home here. The murderer used an ax and crushed the head of each. The bodies were found at 5 o'clock in the afternoon by Mrs. O. W. Snook, a neighbor. There is no clew to the murder. The showmans were people in moderate circumstances and it is believed the motive could not have been robbery. It is not known that the man or his wife had any enemies. The showman home is a small two-room cottage on the outskirts of Ellsworth and situated three or four hundred yards from the nearest neighboring house. Showman was employed as a machinist and chauffeur at an Ellsworth garage. POSTOFFICE CLERK ARRESTED Atchison Man Regarded as Most Efficient in Office, Stole Letters for Three Years. Atchison, Kansas.—Seth Brainerd, 27 years old, seven years a mailing clerk in the Atchison postoffice, was arrested by a government detective on a charge of pilfering letters.

Brainerd has a wife and two children, one a girl only 5 days old, Mrs. Brainerd has not been told of her husband's arrest. Brainerd was regarded as the most efficient clerk in the local office. CALIFORNIA WOMEN TO VOTE Late Returns Wipe Out Small Majority Previously Recorded Against Movement San Francisco, Cal.—woman suffrage has triumphed in California. Straggling returns have now wiped out the majority previously recorded against the amendment, and since this turn the margin in favor of amendment No. 4 has increased steadily. Totals struck off also showed the result: For the suffrage amendment, 119,086; against, 117,408. These figures represent the returns from 2,717 precincts out of a total of 3,121 in the state. As virtually all of the remaining precincts are in counties which have given suffrage majorities, it is reasonable to suppose that they will increase this margin. MISSOURI HEN TO BE STUDIED Appropriation of $30,000 by Legislature to be Spent on Building for Poultry Culture. Mountain Grove, Missouri.—Thousands of visitors from neighboring counties gathered at Mountain Grove to attend the laying of the corner stone of the Missouri state poultry experimental station.

"O," replied Genevieve Grandilot, "do you consider it lucky to be alone with me?" "Why shouldn't I?" "I—I don't know. I have never thought about it before." "Haven't you ever wished that you, and I might be all alone together?" "Why should I wish that?" "I don't know. I wish you had wished it." "Perhaps I could—could guess." "Would you care if I should tell you why?" "I-I don't know. Do you think I ought to let you tell me why?" "I wish you would. I am going to tell you. It is because I—" "Because you what?" "I wonder if you will hate me after I have told you? Rather than have you decide that we can no longer be friends, I would carry the secret to my grave." "O, please don't do anything like that. I am sure I shall not hate you. I could never hate you, no matter what happened." "Do you mean that, Miss Grandilot—Genevieve?" "Of course. Why shouldn't I?" "I shall risk all, then, and tell you.

LANTERN HALLOWEEN Day of Mirth and Mystery ACH successive year sees an increasing observance of Hallowe'en—a holiday which rivals any on the calendar as an occasion for pranks and pastimes. The growing disposition to devote more attention to the celebration of Hallowe'en is not strange, for the occasion with its quaint customs has much to commend it as a break in the routine of the year. For one thing, this fateful day of mirth and mystery is the first of the autumn and winter holidays, and yet more significant, it is for the young folks the first break in the school year. With al, its festivities are for the most part reserved for the period after nightfall, so that even the individuals who are occupied during the day may participate. The festival of the night of October 31 is in its origin and traditions one of the most picturesque which now finds observance in this country. It has a number of different designations, among which are Hallowe'en, All Hallow Even, Nutcrack Night and Snap Apple Night. It derives it most common name, however, as the eve or vigil of All Saints' or All Hallows Day (November 1). From time out of mind this has been heralded as a night when witches, devils and other michlef-makers are abroad on their baneful midnight errands, while the fairies are supposed to hold on that night a grand anniversary. To accept the spirit of the season the devotee of Hallowe'en must concede that on no other night of the year do such supernatural influences prevail as after dark on the closing day of October. According to ancient beliefs the spirits of the dead then wander about and in some instances the spirits of living persons are supposed to have the temporary power to leave their bodies and join the ghostly throng. Especially gifted with the power to converse with airy visitants are persons who have had the good fortune to be born on Ooctober 31, but other folks, also, tradition hath it, may be warned or advised by the elves. For all that such awesome doing are attributed to the mysterious spirits that are abroad on Hallowe'en these supernatural beings cannot be altogether ill natured, since they are willing without fee or reward, and on the condition of the performance of a very simple ceremony, to disclose to any curious young man or woman most interesting particulars PAC A HALLOWEEN PARTY IN THE OPEN Famous Old Morocco City --- E concerning their future life partners. Indeed, Saint Matrimony is the patron saint of Hallowe'en, and it is the night of all nights for peering into the future, and particularly for discovering just what sort of husband or wife fate has decreed for the unmarried. Hallowe'en appears to be in its origin a curious combination of classic mythology and Christian superstition. For instance, the Romans had on November 1 a feast to Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, at which time there was a formal opening of the stores of eatable laid up in the summer for use in winter. This may explain the origin of the very appropriate plan of using nuts and apples in connection with the Hallowe'en festivities. On this same date occurred the great autumn festival to the sun, with which the Druids or ancient Celts celebrated thanksgiving for their harvest. On the eve of the day the Lord of Death called together the wicked souls that within the twelve months had been condemned henceforth to occupy the bodies of animals. Especially quaint has been the observance of Hallowe'en in Ireland, where from the earliest days it was the custom for each household to set out on Hallowe'en the best vlans it could afford, and apples and nuts were deprived in abundance. In some instances peasants went from house to house collecting bread, cake, butter, cheese, eggs and other sambars for a feast. In many parts of Great Britain bread or cake has long been associated with Hallowe'en, and to this day the women of some districts in England observe the custom Was in Its Day One of the World Capitals of Islam and Still Interesting to Europeans. Morocco City, the capital of the southern half of the Moroccan kingdom, is a far more interesting city than Fez, says the New York Sun. Architecturally its monuments, including the famous Kutubia tower, the counterpart of the Giraidia in Seville, the famous mosque of Muley Abdallah and a hundred other ruined or semi- of baking on that night a cake for every member of the family. Centuries ago it was the practice to ring the church bells all night, but King Henry VIII, of England but a stone to that. In the United States at the present time there is comparatively little thought given to the history of Hallowe'en in connection with its twenteth century observance. Today it is above all else an occasion for sport and frolics and feasting in various forms. The customs which were once ceremonies of belief are now observed in jest. Particularly is this the case with respect to the matrimonial forecasts, but naturally interest in these methods of learning fate's verdict is not lessened by the knowledge that the same expedients were employed in deadly earnest by the belles of several hundred years ago. The roasting of nuts is a time-honored Hallowe'en practice, and many of the ruses for learning fate's decree in the matter of matrimony are identified with this feature. Inquisitive maidens are wont to place a number of nuts, each bearing the name of a lover, on the bars of a grate among the embers. According to the ritual if a nut cracks or jumps the lover will prove unfaithful, whereas if it begins to blaze or burn he has a regard for the person making the trial. If the nut burns quietly and brightly especial sincerity of affection is indicated. Similarly, if the nuts named after a girl and her lover burn together an early wedding may be looked for. Apples, next to nuts, are the favorite vehicles for discovering on Halloween the intentions of Cupid. Indeed, at the present time perhaps the best known and most generally ruined edifices surviving from the days when the city had 700,000 inhabitants and was one of the world capitals of Islam, are the most considerable and magnificent in Morocco. Equally beautiful is the site of this city in the upper valley of the Teneisift river, surrounded in a half circle by the great wall of the grand Atlas mountains, whose snow-clad peaks are seen beyond a foreground of large farms and fertile fields. A city far less given over to war, with a population less ferocious, less fanatical than that of Fez or Mekinez, Morocco City has been much more frequently visited by Europeans than its northern rivals. Geographically, Morocco City is the real gateway to the Sahara. By the famous Glawi pass one road climbs over the Atlas to Tafliet, and the caravan route continues to Timbuktu. A second road descends to the Draa crossing the Atlas chain, while a third leads to Tarudant and the Sus country. Close communication with the south has left its mark upon the people, who are darger and show more practiced of all the Hallowe'en recipes is that which admonishes the credulous maiden to eat an apple before a looking glass while combing her hair with the promise that if these directions be followed explicitly the face of her destined conjugal partner will be seen in the mirror as though peeping over her shoulder. Equally well known is the scheme whereby any maiden may find out the first letter of the name of her future husband by peeling an apple, taking the paring by one end in her fingers and after swinging it three times around her head allowing it to fall in whatever fashion it may. A little imagination may be necessary to construe the position of the paring as indicative of a desired letter; but usually this mental aid is readily supplied. Another mode of peeping into the matrimal lottery has been transplanted to America from Scotland. By this plan the young women go hand-in-hand, blindfolded, or at least with eyes closed, to the cabbage patch and each pulls the first plant met with. Earth on the root of the cabbage thus selected signifies dowry. The shape and size of the vegetable denote the appearance and size of the future spouse, while the taste of the heart and stem indicate his disposition. The Irish girls have a scheme for catching a glimpse of a future husband by throwing a ball of yarn out of the window, holding the end of the yarn and then rewinding it saying the Pater Noster backward. If the ball of yarn, outside in the darkness, be watched carefully the young woman may hope to be rewarded by seeing the desired apparition. In this same old-fashioned category is the legend which admonishes a girl to wet the sleeve of a shirt and hang it on a chair before the fire ere she retires on Hallowe'en. Then if she remain awake until midnight she may see her future helpmate enter the room and turn the drying garment. Entirely erroneous is the impression prevailing in some quarters that all matrimonial prognosticating, as carried on at Hallowe'en, is for the benefit of the fair sex. As a matter of fact there are numerous forms of divination designed for the use of ardent swains. The best known of these is that whereln the smitten youth descends cellar stairs with a candle in one hand and a mirror in the other, hoping to find the face of a sweetheart reflected back to him.

Care of Canaries. In selecting a canary one of the cross-breeds, pure canary with a strain of goldfinch or bullfinch, is the best to choose, as they are much hardier than the pure canary and have splendid voices. The best food for canaries is canary and rape seed, one part of rape to three of canary. From April to September they should have a little fresh green food every day, either cleaning the bottom of the be sprinkled with gravel sand from the seashore will kill the bird).

Neil remain uncovered in a at night, as the bird's to become impaired There has been increasing appreciation during recent years on the part of hostesses of all ages that Hallowe'en—a night of laughter and jollity and mystery—affords a most delightful opportunity for entertaining in a unique way. The quaint conceits in the amusement line which have already been improvised for this mystic occasion prove how inviting is this field for individual ingenuity. Hallowe'en has become especially popular at the schools and colleges of the country. It is a brief season given over to the pranks of the students, and each student body tries to outdo the others and at the same time surpass the exploits of its predecessors. Particularly at the boarding schools for girls and at women's colleges is there a fantastic observance of Hallowe'en. The invitations to a Hallowe'en party must above all else have the requisite of novelty. The wording may hint of dark secrets to be unfolded, and as symbols of the occasion there are representations of witches riding brooms, blinking owls, broad-winged mats, or pumpkins. For decorative purposes nature provides at this season of the year a wealth of vivid-hued material, such as cornstalks, pumpkins. A carrots, russet oak leaves and green pine boughs. Similarly the autumn products—apples, nuts, grapes, etc.—afford ample menu for refreshments for guests imbued with the spirit of the occasion. A favorite means for lighting at Hallowe'en parties is afforded by candles set in hollowed carrots and jack-o'-lanterns. The jack-o'-lanterns are fashioned, as most of our readers are aware, by removing the pulp from pumpkins and squashes; cutting openings to represent eyes, nose and mouth and fastening a lighted candle inside. If desired, the bizarre effect may be emphasized by adorning the visage of the pumpkin lantern with painted white or black eyebrows and mustaches. Sometimes a hostess ambitious to make her Hallowe'en entertainment unique in every respect elects to hold it in a barn or attic, or even in a cellar. Black draperies and the symbol of the skull and cross-bones have likewise been used on occasion to add to the "creepy" atmosphere. No Hallowe'en party would be complete without certain time-honored pastimes on the program. Conspicuous among these is the perennially popular prank of ducking for apples. The apples are set afloat in a tub and each person essays to catch one of the floating prizes with the teeth. The hands must not be used at all in this attempt. It is said that the only sure way to capture an apple is to force it to the bottom of the tub and there hold it close while it is caught with the teeth. However, very few contestants employ this method and their antics in pursuing the elusive apples are often amusing in the extreme. Zest may be given to the apple ducking by providing a grab bag of prizes, which is open to the contestants in the order in which they capture apples. An apples tied to a string and swinging in a doorway is another variation of this diversion, and yet another trick is to suspend a stick by a string tied in the middle. An apple is placed at one end of the stick and a lighted candle at the other, and the stick is then whirled around rapidly. The object, of course, is to catch the apple with the teeth and not inadvertently grasp the candle. When a cake is baked at home for a Hallowe'en party it is customary to place a ring in the loaf just as in a wedding cake, and also a key. The ring, of course, signifies marriage, while the key signifies a journey for the finder --- optimist must go out alone and unperceived with a handful of hemp seed, which he sows, the while repeating "Hemp seed, I sow thee and her that is to be my true love come after me and pull thee."

A lump of sugar should always be kept between the cage wires within easy reach. Always give a canary a bath the first thing in the morning. After cleaning the bottom of the cage should be sprinkled with gravel and sand (not sand from the seashore, as the salt will kill the bird). Never hang the cage in a draft or a stiff breeze, as canaries are very susceptible to cold. Neither should it remain uncovered in a lighted room at night, as the bird's song is liable to become impaired AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. The current week's attraction at the Lyceum offered by North Bros. Stock Co. is Daudet's famous play, "Sapho." The production given of this great play is something very elaborate and when it is given by a stock company in the manner it is offered at the Lyceum it becomes even more meritorious. A one piece show can be built and elaborated on to a much greater extent than can a production where a different bill is presented each week—hence great credit is due North Bros. for the production given. "Sapho" has been the play that has established many of the leading actresses of the day in the class of theatrical stars. Olga Nethersole and many others of the same class have presented "Sapho" in the leading cities of the entire world. In North Bros. production Miss Calvert will appear as "Fanny Le Grand" (Sapho) and Mr. Spurrier as "Jean Gaussin." Regular matinees will be given Wednesday and Saturday. SAVED BY HIS DREAM BALLOONIST TAKES STRANGE VI SION AS A WARNING. Glives Up His Vocation and His Succ essor is Killed Within Two Weeks. A dream in Buffalo five years ago, following an exhibition in a local park, caused Carl McManus to give up balooning for a less dangerous vocation, and, as he believes, probably saved his life. Mr. McManus is now a traveling salesman for a New York house and was in Buffalo recently on business. At the Lafayette hotel he told his story. "I am only slightly superstitious," said McManus, "but that dream proved too much for me. I'm mighty glad that it did, too. "I had gone to bed rather early on the night of the dream, following my exhibition at the park. Things had gone rather badly and I was tired out. A couple of narrow escapes had slightly unnerved me. "It couldn't have been more than ten minutes after I had fallen asleep before I started to dream. I was up in the air sailing along beautifully. There was no wind and the balloon rose slowly and gracefully. I went higher and remained up longer than usual and then made ready to descend. "I threw out the ballast and held tight to the parachute, but the balloon failed to shoot up. That was strange, I thought. I pulled the cord and let out the gas. Instead of falling the big bag remained stationary. It was most unusual and inexplicable. "Thoroughly alarmed and mystified by this time, I cut the cords of the parachute. There was nothing doing. The balloon and the parachute seemed anchored in the air to stay there. "Then I awoke. A cold sweat covered my body. The more I thought about the dream the more convinced I became that it was an ominous warning. It means, I told myself, that some day I will go up and never come down again alive. "The next day I gave up ballooning. My friends protested, but I told them I knew what was best for me. I left for New York that evening. "A couple of weeks later I was reading a paper when I came across an item telling about an accident at an Ohio county fair in which a balloonist was killed when his parachute failed to work. The man who was killed was the one who had stepped into my shoes when I quit. The date was one I had been scheduled to fill. If I had kept my job I would probably have been killed, I told myself. I am not very religious, but you can just bet that I got busy right then and offered up thanks. And the following Sunday I attended church, too." Men's Inhumanity to Man.

I like to notice the houses as I pass along a country road. Some look very comfortable and home-like; but there are too many of the other kind—bare, neglected-looking places, and uninviting, not because of bleakness, but because they lack care and the inspiration born of refinement. In town as well as in the country, I see both old and new houses that I would not care to enter, just because the outside appearance is not attractive. An architect can draw a good design, and a builder can put the house up in thorough workmanlike manner; but, after it is finished and the family moves in, unless real good common sense moves with the family, the neighbors will be inclined to admire the fine house from a distance. There is only one right way for a man, who is unfamiliar with building operations, and that is to employ a man to draw his plans who has spent years in studying architecture and making house plans, a man who knows how to take advantage of materials and how to lay out the space to the best advantage. It requires a great deal of experience just to read a plan correctly after it is drawn. Plans are drawn to a scale. That is easy to understand; but there is not one novice in a thousand who can look at a plan and get a correct idea of the real size, dimensions, and accessibility of the different rooms. He may know in a crude sort of way that a quarter of an inch on the plan represents a foot on the finished work; but, unless he is accustomed to a uniform exaggeration of that kind, he is THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN sure to feel disappointed in some particular when the house is built. The matter of specifications is just as important as the drawings. There are a great many little things to specify, in making a contract, that a person unaccustomed to such work will never think of. A person might possibly find a contractor liberal enough to Garage Pantry KITCHEN 11'0" x 12'6" Dining Room 11'6" x 10'6" Sink Stove Sitting Room 13'0" x 13'0" LIBRARY 10'0" x 10'6" Nesting 13'7'6" PAPER 13'6" x 13'6" PORCH do all the thinking, supply all the brains, take a crude plan, and turn out a satisfactory job. But it wouldn't happen that way more than one time in a million. Contractors are in business to make money. That is all right enough; nobody objects to a contractor making a fair profit, but what you want to guard against is an unfair profit. The only way of letting a contractor know exactly what you want is to have it specified both in the drawings and in the contract. A man may study a plan a long time and think he knows all about it; but while the house is going up he can always find room for improvement. This leads to alterations, which are generally expensive. The specifications should state that no alterations will be paid for unless BATH TWO CHAMBER 11'0" x 12'0" BATH ROOM 8'0" x 10'6" LUNCH CLOSET CLASS CLASS CHAMBER 13'0" x 13'0" SETTING ROOM CLASS ALLOVE 7'0" x 9'0" CHAMBER 8'0" x 12'0" Second Floor Plan. the consent of the owner is given in writing. I knew of an old-fashioned contractor, familiarly known as "Henry," who did a great deal of building; and he had a motto which read, "Always charge for extras, and never de 90-45 duct for omissions." Interpreted, it really means: "Heads, I win; tails, you lose," in the game of alterations. Plans and specifications cost the owner nothing; in fact, they are likely to save him a good deal of money, besides putting him in the way of getting a house that he wants and will be satisfied with, instead of one that he don't want and we never like. The house derig shown in this plan is 26 feet wide and 44 feet long, exclusive of the porch. The chimneys are so arranged that it may be heated comfortably with stoves, which is helped by the rooms upstairs coming directly over the rooms below, thus giving an opportunity to carry the stovepipes through to the rooms above and to warm them with drums. Houses may be made very comfortable in this way. Stoves burn less coal than a furnace, and a great many prefer them. it is easy to warm any part of the house, and is not necessary to keep fire in the rooms that are not used. The house is modern and sensible in appearance, and so far as the architect and builder are concerned it is all right as shown on the plans and perspective; but it will never be complete as an artistic home until the grounds are laid out and planted with suitable shrubs and flowers. No plain, bare house looks right; it shows at once that there is something lacking. The only real comfortable homes are surrounded with something more pleasing than brick, mortar and paint. A house like this may be built, where conditions are favorable, for about $2,000, complete with gas fixtures and plumbing. It may be that the gas fixture are not wanted at first; but it is better to put in the pipes. Recent improvement in small gas plants makes it possible and often desirable to install a little machine just for home use. If the pipes are in, the fixtures and burners can be put on at any time. Another thing that should be remembered in building is the hot-air pipes in the walls in case you ever want a furnace. They may be easily put in while the building is going up, but it is an awful job to tear out and put them in afterward. 1. Camilla's Courage By ELLA RANDALL PEARCE "But, Geraldine, I'd rather meet your brother in a more conventional way." Geraldine Merrill waved the protest aside with a scornful sweep of her hand. "Conventional—that's the fatal word! Gilbert's met a thousand girls in a conventional way, and he wouldn't look a second time at any one of them. No, Camilla, my plan's the best. I know my brother—he admires the strong, independent type—and I do so want him to like you; to have you make an impression. Please!" Camilla's eyebrows went up dubiously, but her lips were smiling. "Isn't that a funny sort of impression to make on one—to meet him at the door of his own home with a wicked-looking revolver, and demand to know his business?" "But you see there's a reason; and you can carry it off splendidly," said Geraldine, shaking her dark curls vivaciously. "If I asked Gilbert down here to meet you, ten chances to one he wouldn't come at all. And if I did happen to present him to you, he'd expect to be bored and run away. No, Camilla, in a lace dancing frock, with a rose in your hair and French slippers, you wouldn't make a hit at all. We've got to rouse him—to surprise him into attention." "Um-m' I see." Camilla looked reflective, but at least she did not object further. least she and not object further: "I know Gilbert would like you if you had a chance to make your personality felt," she went on, eagerly. "You're really just suited to each other; but of course your society manner is just like any other girl's—and he fights shy of girls, laughs at them, and calls them frivolous and vain and shallow—and dependent on man! Yes, and secretly, Camilla, I think he's afraid of their little schemes. Gilbert's awfully good-looking, you know. I wish I had a picture to show you, but that's another whim of his—he wouldn't ever have his photograph taken. Oh, he'd just suit you, Camilla." Camilla felt herself weakening. She had long been interested in this elusive brother of her friend's, and everything she heard about him increased her desire to meet him and win his favor. She was not frivolous or vain or shallow, and she could manage to exist very comfortably without a man about. But Gilbert Merrill—she would just love to conquer him! "Now, let me understand this dark and dreadful plot thoroughly," she said. "If I start, I must go on to a glorious finish." Geraldine spread her silky draperies, drew her chair closer to her companion, and began to recount her plans The Merrills had gone to Idlehurst, their summer home, for the season, and Camilla Ogden, with her aunt, who acted as chaperon, had arrived a few days later. Gilbert Merrill was due to appear the following Saturday, with some week-end guests. He would come down from a camp in the mountains; but it was always his custom at such times to drop in at the town house on his way, and remain a night or two It was a part of Geraldine's brilliant plan now to have her dear friend Camilla, with her aunt, go in town for the day and, apparently unaware of the peregrinating brother's habits, to mistake him for a burglar when he sought to enter the house, and bravely order him out at a pistol's point. Then Gilbert would explain and apologize, and be duly impressed with the heroic behavior of the strange young lady in "a white peignoir with her hair down like Juliet at the tomb, or Lady Macbeth in the sleep-walking scene." Geraldine insisted on the white peignoir and the hair down, but finally compromised on a flowered Japanese wrap over a white gown, and two hanging braids, which, in Camilla's case, meant a magnificent display of aunburn hair. Camilla's aunt might have demurred if she had really understood their sudden errand to the city, but she was used to the whims and caprices of her pretty niece. When the shopping season was over, and they had entered the linen-draped Merrill home in the city, she looked surprised and a bit startled when Camilla drew out a polished revolver and laid it on the dressing table. "Goodness, Camilla, what's that? You're not afraid, are you? Why, no one can get in without a special key for the front door, and the rest of the house is protected by a burglar alarm, and there's a telephone—" "I know, Aunt Lydia, but it's always best to be on the safe side," said Camilla. "No, I'm not afraid a bit." As a matter of fact, Camilla was afraid—but not of a burglar. She was really in a sort of mild panic over the thought of meeting Gilbert Merrill, and fearful lest she should play her part badly. "Still, it all seems very reasonable, and at least it will be a novelty for him," she reflected. Then she looked in the mirror. Really, the Japanese garment flowing over her snowy draperies was very becoming, and she looked five years younger with her hair down. Her color was high, and her hazel eyes sparkling. "You may retire any time you like, Aunt Lydia," she said. "I'm going to read a while." Aunt Lydia always was obedient, so Camilla was left alone. She had a book 'before her, but the meaning of the story was quite lost to her. She was waiting for that clicking sound at the front door below. "Bother! he isn't coming at all. Well, I'll go back to Idlehurst tomorrow, and laugh at Geraldine. Then like two nice little society mandarins, Brother and I will be nodding at each other Saturday afternoon." The evening wore on, and the stillness deepened. Camilla rose and looked out the window; here and there, a twinkling light shone through the darkness. While she watched, some of the lights disappeared. She looked at the clock and saw that it was near midnight. When the hour struck, Camilla went softly into the hall and peered over the ralling. She had a sore feeling that something was about to happen. An instant later, with the usual preliminary sounds, the lower door swung slowly open. Camilla switched on 'the hall lights, and dashed down the stairs. "Stand where you are!" she commanded, loudly. "One step further, and I will call the police—or shoot!" The tall figure before her retreated at sight of the threatening weapon, and reached fumblingly backward for the door knob. Even in that moment of intense excitement, Camille was conscious of a shock of disappointment as her eyes fell on the man's face, clearly visible in the bright light. It was not a noble face—handsome enough, perhaps, but dissipated and craven. The whole figure was unprepossessing. Why did the man not speak? She wanted to hear his voice "What are you doing here?" she asked, curiously at ease and controlled. Of course he would declare himself in another moment, and the farce would be over. As for meeting Gilbert Merrill, the event was not worth the trip to town. Then, to Camilla's astonishment, as she stood there, straight and challenging in her oriental draperies, the figure of the intruder, backed silently over the sill, out into the shadows of the night, and the door swung to between them. "The coward!" murmured Camilla. Then, in a state of nervous reaction, she sank into the hall chair and rested her head weakly against the carved back. "And I drove Gilbert Merrill out of his own house! Oh, what a joke—but—why, I shall hate to tell Geraldine. It's shaken me up awfully. Well, I guess I can go to sleep now—unless he should recover and come back." Click! Click! The front door latch again. Camilla, leaning forward in a fascinated way, with the revolver lying idly in her lap, saw the heavy door swing slowly inward, and a man enter. The new comer stood in dumb amazement, prepossessing, erect, keen-eyed. He looked at the flaring lights and at the huddled figure in the chair. Camilla could not utter a word. She knew that this was Gilbert Merrill—but who was the other? A fit of violent trembling came over her, and her cheeks paled. Her eyes were like those of a frightened child. "Why—I believe I've scared you terribly," said a hearty, ringing voice, with such a comforting sound in it. "I am Gilbert Merrill—and you must be one of Geraldine's friends. Is she here? Why, what's this?" For, as Camilla drew herself feebly to her feet, the little revolver rattled to the floor. "There was a burglar—a real burglar here," she said, brokenly. "I—I ordered him away—and then—you came—" "Oh, don't faint—you poor child! You're safe now." Gilbert's supporting arm was around her, and the heavy auburn braids lay against his shoulder. As the girl's eyes uplifted shyly, they met a magnetized gaze that made her lashes fall again. Faint and trembling, she was still blissfully conscious of the reassuring pressure of that protective arm. It was really a pretty tableau that Aunt Lydia saw when she peered wonderingly over the banister. Then explanations followed. Early Saturday morning Geraldine received two letters. One, couched in terms that she alone might understand and signed "Camilla," was thrown aside after reading, with a petulant "Pshaw!" The other was from Gilbert. "I shall not be down Saturday, with the crowd, Geraldine. Your friend, Miss Ogden, has had an unpleasant shock, and I think life at Idlehurst is too stimulating for her at present, so I have advised her to remain here over Sunday, and I will stay to see that she and her aunt are properly protected and made comfortable. We will join you later, when your scatter-brained merry-makers have flown. I shall not return to the camp next week, so you will have enough of my society after all." Gilbert." Geraldine's face was aglow as she finished her letter reading. "And I thought it was all a fizzle," she reflected. "Oh-h, Gilbert!" Then she tossed back her head, while her curls bobbed merrily, and laughed until the tears came. CHURCH IS HISTORIC Scene of First Protestant Settlement in America. Colony Was Early Founded Near Port Royal on the Shores of South Carolina and by the Huguenots. Port Royal, S. C.—The first Protestant settlement in America was made on the shores of South Carolina, not far from the present town of Port Royal, and by the Huguenots. This colony came out under the leadership of Jean Ribaut in the spring of 1562. This settlement of South Carolina by a Protestant colony antedates that of the English settlement of Virginia by 45 years, and was 58 years before the arrival of the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth, Mass. But this settlement at Port Royal did not have the success that was hoped for it, and had to be abandoned—not before seed had been planted, however, that bears its fruit to this day. On landing, one of the first things the Huguenots did was to unite in a service of thanksgiving to God for their safe arrival. They erected a monument to commemorate the occasion. To quote from the Rev. Dr. Vedder, "The stone pillar of John Ribaut was the corner stone of the temple of Protestantism in the Western hemisphere." It was not until after the edict of Nantes, October, 1685, that the great immigration of Huguenots to South Carolina took place. Four prominent settlements were made—one on the Santee river, one on the Cooper river, one at St. Johns, Berkely, and the other in the city of Charleston. One of the first steps taken by each of these colonies was toward the establishment of a church wherein they might worship according to their faith. The Huguenots of Charleston make two distinct claims outside that of having the only Huguenot church in Where Huguenots Worshiped. America. One is that theirs is the first church organization established in South Carolina; and the other that they were the first to carry the gospel to the state outside the city of Charleston. The first Huguenot church organization was about 1681-2. In the cemetery surrounding it lies entombed the dust of many who have slept there for more than two centuries, the pioneers of the church. On the tombs are engraved names that have become historic in the annals of South Carolina. The present building was erected in 1845. It is stone, in Gothic style, with ornamental masonry extending in pointed columns above the roof. It suffered greatly, as did all of the churches of Charleston, from the terrible earthquake of 1886. The first church building was burned in 1740. The congregation took steps to erect another, which shared the same fate; and still another, which was also burned. The present building stands today unique in history, the only Huguenot church in America. KEEPS GIANT SONS IN BED Under Mother's Hypnotic Influence They Fear to Move—All in Good Health. Northville, N. Y.-Hypnotized by their mother into the belief that they are suffering from hereditary heart disease in an aggravated form, three grown men have been lying in bed for years in their home here. Physicians have examined the three men and declare they are in as sound physical trim as can be three six-footers who have remained in bed such a length of time. The men are sons of John Bennett, a farmer. The mother is a robust woman, intelligent in appearance, about sixty years old. The sons are George, thirty-two years old; Ward, twenty-nine, and Frank, twenty-seven years. They are under the impression that the slightest shock will result in sudden death. George has been in bed for eight years, Ward ten years and Frank six years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bennett insist the men are awful sufferers. They had trouble this summer with a firm of contractors putting through a state highway near their home because the blasting had a serious effect on their sons' condition. Trolley Car Sets Man Afire Philadelphia, Pa.—Edward Higgins, sixty-seven years old, was carrying a package of matches in a back pocket of his trousers when he was struck by a trolley car. The matches were ignited and before the flames were extinguished Higgins was badly burned. GEN. HERKIMER'S MONUMENT Imposing Shaft on the Old Homestead Which Marks the Sturdy Hero's Grave. Albany, N. Y.—Renewed efforts are now under way for the preserving of the General Herkimer homestead in the picturesque Mohawk valley of the state. The brick house is still in very good condition, although it remains practically the same as when occupied as a home by the sturdy old hero of the battle of Oriskany. Only a few rods from the house is the burial place of the general and this is marked by an imposing shaft, erected by the state of New York. The present movement to purchase Olympic Shaft to Herkimer. the old homestead and preserve it as one of the historical spots of the country has been started by prominent members of the national and state committees on historical spots. Recently a large pilgrimage was made to the place and interesting patriotic exercises were conducted by the Daughters of the American Revolution. THOMAS H. CARTER IS DEAD Former Montana Senator, Prominent in National Politics, Passed Away in Washington. Washington, D. C.—Former United States Senator Thomas Henry Carter of Montana, for many years a notable and picturesque figure in national politics, once head of the Republican national committee and since last March chairman of the American section of the international joint commission, died at his home in Washington recently at the age of fifty-seven years. Mr. Carter represented Montana in the senate for 12 years. He first sat in the senate in 1895, and stayed there until 1901. He came back in 1905. He first came into national politics in 1892, when he was made chairman of President Harrison's Republican national committee, and at that time it was written of him "he is a some- The Late Thomas H. Carter. what undersized Montana man, who looks like Uncle Sam just out of a ready-made clothing store." The late senator had Irish parents, whose birthplaces were within a few miles of each other in the old country, but they did not meet until they had migrated to Virginia. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ellen Galen Carter, and two sons. INDIAN HAS EARS TRIMMED He Undergoes Operation to Win a Bride Who Disliked Style of His Auricular Appendages. Reno, Nev.—Protruding ears with square corners are not considered necessary perquisites to the beauty of the Shoshone Indians in this state, as was proved when a full-blooded buck of that tribe invoked the use of surgery in order that his looks might be improved. Johnny Joyce, a Shoshone Indian visited the office of a local physician and asked that his square and protruding ears be reduced in size in explanation he stated that the Indian malden of his choice refused to marry him on account of the manner in which his organs of hearing had grown grown. The operation was performed successfully and Joyce, with his hearing appendages trimmed on the bias, compensated the physician for the labor and prepared to return to his home and his bride. CHANGE IN WOMAN'S LIFE Made Safe by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Graniteville, Vt. No other medicine for woman's ills has received such wide-spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine we know of has such a record of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For more than 30 years it has been caring woman's ills such as inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life.

FROM TEXAS Some Coffee Facts From the Lone Star State. From a beautiful farm down in Texas, where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through flowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit. "When my baby boy came to me five years ago, I began to drink Postum, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-haden coffee. I was not disappointed in it, for it enabled me, a small, delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing, healthy baby 14 months. "I have since continued the use of Postum for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a billious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself. My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off coffee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. "In fact, the entire family, from the latest arrival (a 2-year-old who always calls for his 'potie' first thing in the morning), up to the head of the house, think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum."

C. 521-486. Zerubbabel governor of Judea. The exiles found Jerusalem in rains, together with the surrounding cities of residence and their orchards and farms, much as they had been left by Nebuchadnezzar's armies fifty years before. Trees were growing wild on the Mountain of the House, and the jackals prowled among heaps of shattered masonry. Crumbling stone-work and charred timbers marked the site of palaces and towers, and choked the streets. The city walls and gates were leveled with the ground. The first business of the returned exiles was, of course, to provide some kind of dwellings for themselves and their families. They accordingly settled in the small cities surrounding Jerusalem, perhaps repalting the houses and walls that had been ruined by the besieging armies years before, or contenting themselves with huts or tents. The territory they controlled was of course small, and hemmed in on all sides, "including only Bethlehem on the south, while on the north their territory measured no more than twenty-five miles in length by twenty in breadth," and even upon this encroached the heathen or mongrel population. As soon as the returned exiles had become settled in their homes, and hdd planned for the necessities of life, within three or four months of their arrival, they wisely arranged for the religious life which was the very heart of the nation's existence, and the central motive and inspiration of the return. It would require years to build the temple. It was not wise to wait for that. It was essential that all needful helps to devotion and religion and righteousness should be provided immediately, to sustain, them in the work to be done amid opposition and temptations which were to try their souls as gold is tried in the fire. When the builders laid the foundation of the temple, there was a great celebration. The chant of praise was responded to with a great burst of chorus, vocal and instrumental, the substance of which was some well-known sacred refrain. There is a wonderful power in music and every atom of it should be used in God's service. The church has scarcely begun to use this power in its fulness. Some object to responsive singing; some have opposed putting an orchestra in the Sunday school, as if these were modern novelties, instead of 3,000 years old. These old saints used every kind of instrument, every method of singing—solos, responses, choruses, marching songs, refrains, everything that would give wings and inspiration to the service of song. Those who had known only the exile conditions sang Hallelujahs, because it was an unspeakable joy to have a temple at all. It meant the saving of the nation; it meant the returning favor of God. It was no limit to the religious life and the blessings which could grow out of it. It made possible the greater glory, which fifteen years later the prophet Haggai foretold, when it should be fulfilled in the Messiah. We learn from Haggai that the people were busy with building beautiful houses, and cultivating their farms. They planted vineyards and orchards, figs, pomegranates and olives. But all their efforts were failures. They "looked for much, and it came to little." For they cared more for their own houses and farms than for the house of God. Then arose the wise, aged prophet-preacher Haggal, who had been watching the course of affairs, and in the name of God, urged the people to arise and build the temple, for the time had come. He made four addresses in the autumn of 520, the summaries of which are recorded in his book. He began at the religious festival of the new moon when crowds of people were assembled, probably in the temple area itself, where the altar was smoking with sacrifices, and the unfinished foundations and the desolation of the city were in full view, while in the distance were the homes and fields of the leaders. While aged Haggal was urging the people to rise up and build, a younger prophet-preacher was inspired to encourage the people, and to remove their difficulties and doubts, by a series of emblematical visions, or object lessons. He urged all high motives for renewing the work, and enforced them by their own experiences. They had tried to gain prosperity, while religion was neglected. They had sought the fruits of obedience to God, while they neglected the tree that alone could bear the fruit. They wanted rich crops in their fields, while they stopped up the springs that alone could make them fertile. Haggai said to them, look at the results of your bad policy. Consider your ways. Change your plan. Put God, and religion first. Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK? There are two ways to tell if you have weak kidneys. The first is through pains in the back. The second by examining the kidney secretions. If you suspect your kidneys, begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at once. Every Picture Tells a Story E. R. Wilson, Emmetsburg, Iowa, says: "I was completely laid up with kidney complaint and inflammatory rheumatism. My limbs and feet were terribly swollen and so inflamed I could not walk for days. After doctors had failed to help me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Three boxes cured me so completely that I have not had the slightest trouble since."

My face was the only part affected, but it caused great disfigurement, also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red, hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public. "I used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I read carefully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following the directions I was relieved in a few days. I used Cuticura Soap for washing my face, and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued with it for a few weeks and was cured completely. I can truthfully say that the Cuticura Remedies are not only all, but more than they claim to be." (Signed) G. Baumel, 1015 W. 20th Place, Chicago, Ill., May 28, 1911.

The Universal Franchise A small number of men sympathizers took part in the suffragist parade in New York city, among them several members of the faculty of Teachers' college.

"No," replied his friend, "you carried it as if you were afraid some one would decipher it." "It read," chuckled the professor, "The men vote—why not we?" "—Success Magazine. To Mend an Umbrella.

One must be educated, no doubt, to understand the more complex and difficult kinds of musical composition. Go to the concerts where you know that the music is good, and that you ought to like it whether you do or not. Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body. I wouldn't trouble myself about the affectations of people who go to this or that series of concerts chiefly because it is fashionable. Some of these people whom we think so silly will perhaps find, sooner or later, that they have a dormant faculty which is at last waking up, and that they who came because others came, and began by staring at the audience, are listening with a newly found delight.

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. 84, 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.

Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls.

Market St., Wichita Antiquity 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 pck 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. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE 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 town 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 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 Flans' book—Ladies' Pictorial Whistling Sign of Contempt. A Moroccan shows his contempt of anything by whistling. A conflict between tribesmen and a battalion of French troops was recently precipitated by the whistling of a locomotive on a railway being constructed near Casablanca. "The glaours are laughing at us," said a chieftain, when the construction engine gave a toot to warn the natives at work on the line to look out. The Arabs went wild, mounted their horses, and rode on the whistling enemy. They had to be calmed with the whistling of rifle balls. The government is going to lay molasses road in Massachusetts. That is, it will prepare a binder for ma cadam roads the basis of which will be the residue of sugar-cane manufacture a by-product for which there is at present no known use.

Main St. 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 tough 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 counterfeits. 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 counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young men study the genuine carefully, and there will be no trouble in detecting the "bad notes" - National Magazine. Proud 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 naddies 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." Siuce supporting race enterprises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap. A Knowing Dog. "Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for. You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day I was looking across from my home to the edge of the range opposite about two miles away, I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best colleague, through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very noreous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," reported the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious, urged the dame. "No, ma'am," wound up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ETHI QUETTE FOR OCCASION. If King of Beasts Fails to Realize He Is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Avray With Becoming Dignity. The etiquette to be observed when a peacefully inclined tourist or ex 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 obtus creature. If, after this, the obtus still fails to realize the job 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 conservation," 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 emmts meat tiu. "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 Is land, 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 fiends 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 so 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 predominate 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; men there may be who can order a siege well, or would ill marshal a battle; who can speak well in private, who would ill harangue 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 Montaligne.
