THE ST. JOIINSBUKY CALEDONIAN, OCTOBER 23, 189G.
Tricks of the Trade.
He lived next door to I'romlsetopay,
And nerom the nllcy dwelt Decpindcbt ;
Collectors came to the Btrcct each day,
But the Other Man went his quiet way,
And never wad once beset.
No one In the street who knew his name;
He misht hove died and gone to smash
The street would have wagged on just the
same
Collectors gone and collectors came
For this man Paid in Cash.
When Promisetopay went out of town,
A hundred tradesmen would question,
"Where?"
And Peepindcbt, from sole to crown,
As he moved him up and moved him down,
Was bulletined here and there.
And these were the fellows who "stood in
line"
When they did pay their bills they got
clttars,
Or at Christmas season a case of wine
Or other souvenir quite as fine
And drinks over polished bars.
The Other Man? Nothing; they took his
gold
And tucked it away In savings banks,
With never a thought that they should hold
A present out to the man who told
His money to barren "Thanks."
They even figured in flushcst times,
How Cash-in-Hand would easily square
Those frequent losses in dollars and dimes
That came from customers skipping to clime,
Which hadn't collectors there.
Moral.
And thus is a premium put on dept
Thus bids are made lor going to smash ;
Just pay as you go if you'd like to bet
Some slower fellow will come and get
Your prize for letting the trade forget
That your name Isn't "Cash."

The Good Hostess.
The secret of being a good hostess is in
hiding the fact that you arc making an
effort to please. The houses to which you
like best to go are those where you feel
at liberty to look over books and port
folios, where the piano stands open, and
there are easy chairs with elaborate
cushions. In preparing for an evening
party, if you expect to have games which
involve real play, put away delicate bric-a-brac,
so that no guest shall have the
misfortune to spoil his evening andyours
by an accident. Scatter picture books
and photographs at the sides of the
room for the benefit of those unfoitu
natcs, t lie wallflowers. There should
always be a comer set apart for those
who do not dance, ami this should be
large enough for a table nt which a game
may be played comfortably. Look alter
the shy girls and boys; that is one of the
chief duties of the hostess. It is better
to try to bring them into the general
spurt than to devote yourself to their
amusement. l5ood Housekeeping.

Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Kx

got the true remedy until we used. Dr.
King's New Discovery. Noother remedy
can take its place in our home, as in it
we have a certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Coughs, etc."
It is idle to expet intent with other reme

They arc not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

A GREAT HISTORIC TABLET.
Professor I'elrici I ImU n Iteeord of the
(.'rushing of lr.rHi-1 by Kcj'pt.
I wits permitted to cxcaviitn along a
part of tlio ruin strewn desert at Thebes
and to examine the sites of temples
which stand there. On these few fur
longs I touiul thiit there had been seven
temples of the kings of the eighteenth
and nineteenth dynasties, about 1460
11 SO li. C. Most, of these I entirely
cleaved out, the largest pieeo of all
the great buildings aiound the Raniesc
rini being the cleiiranee of the. Egyp
tian research account worked by Mr.
Qui bell. Each site gave us some return
in information or objects, but tho most
valuiiblu of the sites, as it proved, was
Olio of the least inviting. A field of
stone chips showed where the funeral
temple, of Merenptah had stood, and,
left in the ruins, I found tho groat
granite, tablet bearing the. long inscrip
tion of Merenptah about his Libyan wnr
and his Syrian war and naming Israel.
This tablet is over 10 feet high, over
5 feet wide and over tifoot, thick, of ono
flawless block of very lino grained gran
ite, or rather syenite. It was first eut
by one of the most sumptuous kings of
Egypt, Amenhotep III, brilliantly pol
ished as flat and glassy as a mirror and
engraved with a seeno of the king offer
ing to Amen, the god of Thebes, and an
inscription of uliont 3,000 hieroglyphs
recording his offerings and glorifying
tho god. Hi son Akheimten, who
strove after u higher faith, erased all
llgures and inscriptions of Amen, and
so effaced most of his father's lino
carving on this great tablet. This, how
ever, was all re-engravod by Seti I,
about 50 years later, as a restoration.
Then, some two centuries after it had
been erected in the temple of Anienho
Irp III, Mercnptiiii cast an envious ga.e
on the splendid stono and stole it. for
his own purpose.
Not taking the trouble to rework it,
ho simply built the face of it into his
own wall and engraved on the compar
atively rough back of the block. At the.
top hn liguied a scene of the king offer
ing to Amen, and below an insoi iption
very nearly as largo as that of Amenho
tep III on the other side. The painting
of the seulptoud figures still remains as
fiesh as on the day il was done, for, as
tho tablet fell face forwaid when the
temple wus destioyed, the side belong
ing to Merenptah lay downward, while
that of Amenhotep III was uppermost.
Iu the runis, then, amid tho frag
ments of columns and foundations,
heaped over with a foot or two of stono
chips, this grand block had lain since
about tho timn of tho Trojan war. All
Greek history, Koman and aicdiawtil
tho prophets, Christianity and Islam
have swept along while this was wait
ing unsuspected, with its story of the
wars of Pharaoh of tho Hard Heart and
his crushing of Israel. Professor Flin

A SISTERLY MISSION.
NOBLE PURPOSEOFTHE FEDERATION
OF AFRO-AMERICAN WOMEN.
How Mr, Hooker T. Washington' Work
Among thn lli-iilglitud Colored Women
of thn lllaelc Holt Id to lie Extended by
Organized ICffort.
Tho newest of the now women Is the
new colored woman. Sho lias appeared
and is Just now very much in evidence.
Shu is personified In tho person of Mrs.
Booker T. Washington, wlfoof the famous
colored educator, who is the founder and
president of the Tuskegeu Normal school
for colored children.
Tho new colored womnn has cut out a
big jiloce of work for herself. Sho proposes
to raise the moral tono and tho mental
condition of mllllonsof her race, The field
Is fertile. While some little attempt 1ms
been lnado to educate tho colored youth of
tho south, the women und girls have been
practically Ignored, with ft few exceptions,
of which the Tuskegeo Normal school Is a
prominent ono. The various organiza
tions of white women havo taken no notice
of their colored sisters, and now tho color
ed women themselves huve come to the
front. Mrs. Washington Is not alono In
her undertaking, but has tho help of a
largo number of refined and highly Intelli
gent women of her race.
That these women are In earnest and In
tend to accomplish something Is shown by
tho fact that the first annual convention of
tho National League of Colored Women In
Washington Is to be followed by n similar
gathering which will bo known as tho
convention of tho National Federation of
Afro-American Women, which Is to con
vene In tho snmo city July 20 for a three
days' session. Tho first business that will
come beforo the latter body will be tho
proposition to combine the two organiza
tions. This was discussed at tho recent
convention of the League of Colored Wom
en, which has just closed
Mrs. Washington ia directly responsible
for tho existence of tho National Federa
tion of Afro-American Women. It Is tho
outcome of her efforts to help the unodu
cated and benighted women and children
who live In tho rural sections of the
Black Belt. As a teacher and wife of
the president of tho Tnskegcc Institute sho
had an opportunity of helping tho scholars
who came under her supervision, and she
made every use of each occasion. But sho
had long wished for somo method of reach
ing tho mothers and sisters of the scholars.
Sho well knew how densely Ignorant most
of them were and in what squalid and Im
moral surroundings they lived. She had
visited many one room cabins, and sho
saw that tho condition of these pcoplo could
be vastly Improved with but little effort if
she could only reach enough of them.
Finally, utter a good deal of thought,
she determined to tiiko advantage of tho
long established custom of tho colored
people of the south to flock into tlio neigh
boring villages and cities on Saturday.
She went down into the market streets of
Tuskcgce and met them as they camo in.
She talked with the women and children,
extending to thorn tho only kindly greet-
MRS. BOOK Kit T. WASHINGTON,
lng that they had ever receicved from
strangers. Unmindful of their ill man
ners and offensive appearance, sho gained
their confidence and gavo them good ad
vice as well as kindly sympathy.
One Sat urday she invited a number of
them to meet her for a littlo talk. Many
of the women and children followed her to
a bare, unfurnished room, where sho told
them in a simple and linaf ectcd manner
how much they might learn by meeting
onco a week to confer with her and somo
of tho other teachers. Sho showed them
how they could learn to make their homes
better, care for their children and help
their husbands. Tho women were inter
ested and promised to come again. They
did so. The next Saturday there was a
room full, and from that time on the num
ber kept increasing. Tlio other teachers
iu the Normal becamo enthusiastic about
the work when they saw what rapid ad
vances their neglected sisters could mako
when given a c banco, and they gave short
talks on such subjects as "flow to Care
For the Home," "Food and Cooking,"
"Ventilation," etc.
That little meeting was tho genu of an
association that, now has a local member
ship of over lot) women and children, and
which has spread through many states.
Other educated colored women heard of
Mrs. Washington's efforts and her uuecoss,
and about a year ago they met In Boston
and formed a national organization for the
purpose of extending this work nil through
tho Black licit. Mrs. Washington was
elected president, and the prestige of her
husband's name at once gavo the federa
tion a national reputation.
Tho selection of Mrs. Victoria Enrlo
Matthews of New York as chairman was
equally fortunate, ns she is ono of tlio best
organizers arid literary characters among
her people
Tho representatives of 88 clubs were
present, and great enthusiasm was mani
fested. Before the convention adjourned
tho organization had been effected and a
system of work laid out. Since then this
work lias been carried on with surprising
activity. Mrs. Matthews bus spent several
mont hs in tho rural districts of Alabama
mid Georgia studying tho needs of tho
women and children, and she will presont
tho great amount of information she has
so laboriously gathered In the form of an
address at the coming convention.
Mra Washington has eulargod her work
by conducting what sho calls a"kltchen
garten" for adults, in which she gives prac
tical lessons in housekeeping to a largo
cluss every afternoon in Tuskegee. Her
report will 1 one of the most interesting
which will be made at the convention.
Among otherN who will read papers or de
liver addresses are: Mrs. B. K. Bruce of
Washington; Mrs. Fannie Jackson Cop

ored Youth at Philadelphia; Mrs. Ida B.

AS TO HATS.
Stanched Bat! Caused a Riot In Spain
Which Coat Mni7 Live.
Has not somo ono calculated that a
sixth part of the memoirs of St. Simon
iu tho oiiginal is occupied with the
controversy whether or not the presi
dent of parliament should wear his hat
er put it on tlio desk when performing
various functions? At length tho mat
ter was compromised. Tlifc Tiers-otat
should wear a chnpeau rabattu, which
bud the slouched brim pinuod up. This
childish quarrel was remembered, uo
doubt, when the states general met and
the king harangued them. His speech
over, he put on his hat, and tho noblesse
did likowiso, according to their privi
lege. Tlio commons hud no such claim,
but they also clapped on their chapoaux
rubattus, amid fierce protests from tho
nobles. Tho revolution might have be
gun that day with a scrimmage in the
king's presence hud ho not romoved his
own hut, when all, of course, did tho
same.
But slouched huts had aljrwly caused
a riot in Spain, which lusted so long
and cost so many lives that it might al
most bo termed a civil war. This was
20 years earlier. Charles III thought
them untidy. Ho thought tho streets of
his capital untidy also and dououncod
both eyesores in an edict. Every Spaniard
henceforth must pin up his flopping
brim, and every householder of Madrid
must clean tho street opposite his prem
ises. Forthwith the pcoplo rose. They
were little interested, comparatively, in
tho strcot cleaning, but they would die
for their hats. And a good many of them
did, but not unavenged. More than a
week the fray lasted, but it was thought
remarkable by foreign observers that at
2 p. in. regularly the soldiers plied
arms, tho furious citizens withdrew
and silence reigned for one hour. Both
parties were enjoying the siesta, except,
perhaps, tho wounded. After that inter
val they recommenced. Tho king fled,
and for the rest of his Hfo ho never re
turned to Madrid willingly. In fact, it
was understood he designed to make Se
ville the capital henceforth, and only
gave up tho project when his ministers
showed him what n vast sura he had
already spent on the new palace. So,
mighty may be tho influence of the hat
in state affairs I Finally the king com
promised. He withdrew his edict so
far as thciealm at largo was concerned.
Within the walls of Madrid every man
must wear his brim pinned up, but out
sido ho was at liberty to let it slouch.
But tlio police courts did not cease to
bo busy until the fashion changed.

Dancing and Tunnels.
A boy of 4 asked to bo taken with his
elders to a ball. lie was told that he
must first learn to dance. Upon this he
delivered himself as fallows: "But I
tan dance, and my way is moro difficult
than your way. I ran dance alone, but
you have to bo holded up." This was
not smartness, perverted ingenuity, as
somo might suppose. It was a bit of
perfectly natural child thought. To the
little philosopher tJfJ.:re seemed nothing
in the nature of things to mako dancers
daneo in "pairs" and hold ono another
in so tight a grip unless it were to keep
ouo another from falling.
In many of these naivo misinterpreta
tions of what, is seen the point of the
humor involves, nf course, a side, hit at
grown up weaknesses which lie hid
from tho child. A good example of tho
charm of this childish innocence is given
by Mr. Punch when he makes littlo
Jossio ask her mamma in a railway car
riage, "Why dn all the tunnels smell so
strong of brandy?'' to the disgust of a
Puritanic looking lady traveler sitting
close by. Here, indeed, I suppose, every
body recognizes that the butt of tho joke
is this hypocritical looking lady with
her carefully hidden bottle National
