Advice to Southern Negroes.
{Washington Post.)
Let the well-meaning negroes of the
south—and they constitute an over'
whelming majority—align themselves
with tbe law-abiding elements of the
white population. Let them, leaving
politics entirely aside, Join the whites
in the cause of civilized society. Then
we shall have tbe Issne of morality in
stead of the question of color, and the
end of all our troubles will be in sight
"The stampede to Henderson in tbe
speakership conte«t was brought about
by one man," said Representative
Adams, of Pennsylvania, today, "and
that man was Joseph W. Babcock, of
Wisconsin. He it was who stemmed
the Hopkins tide and swung his state
delegation for Henderson. Hopkins
had been counting on Wisconsin, and
had it gone to blm I have no doubt
there would have been a different story
to tell. Mr. Babcock is entitled to the
chairmanship of the committee of his
choice, and he will probably get it."
Dignity of Labor Forgotten.
[Philadelphia Times.]
It is true that higher education has
injured a very considerable class of the
American youths, but it is not so much
the fault of education as the fault of
those who misapply their abilities and
their opportunities. The root of the
evil in our educational system is in the
very widely accepted theory that an
educated man or woman should make a
living in some other way than by manual
labor, and young men and young
women will struggle and make every
sacrifice to obtain an academic or col
legiate education chiefly because they
believe that thereby they can escape a
life of drudgery. This is the funda
mental error that underlies every defect
of our educational system.
In no country in the world are such
opportunities presented as are offered
here for thoroughly educated men in all
our leading industrial pursuits. If
mechanical life is not respected it must
be because mechanics themselves teach
their children and others to despise it,
and so general has been the tendency of
educated young men to avoid indus
trial, mechanical and scientific pursuits
connected with industries that thou
sands and thousands of foreigners, who
have complete mechanical and scienti
fic education relating to their pursuits,
fill the best positions in this country
solely because Americans do not fit
themselves for them.'
Oltiz.n.hip and Politic..

Although he is often ridiculed as an
impractical theorist, the college professor
frequently detects evils and points the
way to remedy them far better than
could many of hiB severest critics. He
overlooks the battle field of life and
perceives conditions that attract no at
tention from those who are most active
ly engaged in tbe fray. Hence his
opinions are always deserving of care

Professor Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia University, who delivered
the commencement address at the Uni
versity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor,
choBe for his subject "The Education of
Public Opinion," and in the course of
his oration he dwelt upon the political
responsibility which attaches to every
individual In this republic. On this
point be said: "There is no trench in
which the individual oitizen may hide
no bomb-proof to wbicb the weapons of
responsibility will not follow him. Are
you politically alert? Are you pollti-,
cally honesty If not, you are a bad
citizen and 9 corrupter, however inno
cent, of public opinion. If so, the
standard which you set is a high one
worthy of imitation by your neighbor
You are doing something to educate
publlo opinion.
Could everyone be impressed with the
importance of the individual in politics
as Professor Butler would have them
we should undoubtedly hear less of
boss rule and corruption than we now
have. Citizenship is a duty as well as
a possession and no man should shrink
fiom the labors and obligations which
it imposes upon him. If every man
should beoome a "good citizen" there
would oe no more complaint of bad
government.

When the thin) is the sharing of burdens,,

In the hour of peril and trial,
In the hour you meet as you can,
You may safely depond on the wisdom
And skill of the average man.

Who does Ills plain duty each day.
The small thing his wage la for doing,
On the commonplace bit of the way.
'Tits tbe average man, may God bless him,
Who pilots us, still In the van.
Over land, over sea, as we travel,
Just tbe plain, hardy, average man.
So on through tbe days of existence,
All mingling In shadow and shrine,
We may count on the every-day hero.
Whom haply tbe gods may divine
But who wears the awarth grime of his calling,
And labors and earns as be can,
And stands at the last with the noblest,
The commonplace average man.
—Margaret E. Sangster In Harpera Weekly,
"The Undiscovered Country."
Could we but know 'j
The land that ends our dark, uncertain travel
Where lie those happier hills and meadows

Ah. If beyond tbe spirit's Inmost cavil
Aught of that country could we surely know,
Who would not go?
Might wo but hear
The hovering angels' high Imagined chorus,
Or catch, betimes, with wakeful eyes and

One radiant vista of the realm before us,—
With one rapt moment given to see and hear,
Ah, who would fear?
We were quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely.
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were lovellt only,—
This weary mortal coll, were we quite sure,
Who would endure?

Diseased Battle.
The diBcoverieB that are being made
in Illinois, in regard to the prevalence
of tuberclulosls is enough to make one
feel that the safest way to live would
be to stop eating entirely—pardon the
liish bull—but as that is not practical,
the next bust thing will be to thorough
ly investigate the condition of the herds
and do all that can be done to eradicate
the disease. It was found that out of
the herd of forty cows that had been
furnishing milk to the executive man
sion at Springfield, twenty-seven were
diseased. This terrible disease whioh
has been one of the terrors of the
human family for hundreds of years
and has probably existed since history

Salting Butter.
One advantage of salting butter In a
granular form is that every particle
comes in contact with the brine, which
hardens it and at tbe same time removes
the buttermilk and cheesy matter, giv

Beef Production
G. W. Koiner, Virginia committtop
er of agriculture, says: The low price
of beef that prevailed for some yean
caused the ranchmen of tbe west to sell
off their cows and cut down the In
crease of their great herds. TBir wits
carried too far, and the demand forbeef
and stockers will be good for five years
to come, for it. will require consider
able time for the ranchmen to save
their beifer calves, make cows of them
and put their progeny into beef cattle
before tbe beef market can be again
glutted. The probabilities are beef will
continue to bring better prices to tbe
eastern stockmen than it has in late
years."

it is both transmlsaabie and contageous.
That is, it can be transmitted from

afflicted with it will be more than likely
to become afflicted with the disease.
The thought that the meat we eat and
the milk we drink is likely to be filled
with the germs of this terrible disease
is not pleasant. How long thiB disease
has been prevalent in cattle Is hard to
tell but there is no reason to believe
that it iB anything of late origin. Is It not
likely that a large number of those who
have succumbed to this terrible disease
have been victims who have contracted
It from thfj" use of meat and milk of
diseased cattle? Milk has been far
more dangerous than meat for two
reasons first, because cows may be
milked for years without their owners
ever suspecting that they are afllicted,
and further, because the cooking of
meat, if thoroughly done, will destroy
the germ, Of the two, it begins to
appear that there is more danger to
health through the cow than from pork,
in spite of the fact that the latter has
been held as unclean for thousands of
years. We urge upon our readers the
necessity of having their herds examin

BURNE-JONES.
ItMKtll'i InfloeMcr In CaualnR the
ArtJat to Hyphenate Mia Name.
It may or may not be trne that it was
ilossetti who urged Borne-Jones, when
at the outset ot his career, to connoot
with a hyphen "Burne" and "Jones,"
says William 8harp in The Atlantio.
'Jones' is nobody," Rossetti would
declare, "only a partiole of a vast mul
tiple I But Burne-Jones—that is unmis
takable!"
It was an amuBing trait in Rossetti
that ho was wont to designate the good
work of this or that friend as the work
of—and he would mention the most
distinctive name or part name of the
person concerned. ThuB he would say,
'Yes, that is Burne-Jones, but this,
this here, you know, is only Jones," or
"Chat now is the real Holman Hunt,
it this here is only Hunt," or, "You
hear Tennyson in that, but Alfred
wrote the other lines."
I recall two amusing instances where
Barno-Joues more or
leBS
unconsciously
adopted the same method. He was asked
ooce if he thought William Bell Scott
Uore eminent as a poet or as an artist.
'X never thought very highly of Bell,"
be replied. Then, seeing a look of sur
prise, added, with a humorous twinkle,
"I liked old Bell Scott—old Sootus, as
f« always oalled-him—-immeiMely, and
tfiink William Bell Scott wrote eomo.
very fine verse, but I always thought it
was a pity that Bell took to painting!"
Tbe other instance occurred when
come one remarked to him. that "Par
uell was only an agitator." "Charles
Stewart Parnell," he replied with em
phasis, "was one of tbe greatest public
men of oar day and far and away the
•blest Irish leader." "But ftarnell,"

oorrected by the other disputant

The Oldeat Patent.
The'questipn us to the holder of the
oldest patent in this country has brought
out from the heirs of Joseph Jeuoks
some additional foots which tend to
show that he was the first inventor in
this country. Patents granted from the
sovereign power of England for land,
water and other privileges were not un
common in early colonial times. Joseph
Jencks of Lynn. Mass., a number of
years previous to receiving a patent for
•price upon him in the market, but it: invention of* a scythe had been
is the steer that Ib fat at the right
placeB on his carcass that makes him
top the market. I once sold a carload
of Shorthorn grades in the Philadelphia
market which topped the market that
day of 10,000 beeves, and the buyer
took aB much pains in examining those
cattle as many people wobld do in buy
ing a horse.
What 1. Cow Manure Worth?
If all the liquid and solid excrement
of cows is saved, it will make about
a two horse load per month, euch as
farmers usually draw from stables and
barnyards to the fields. This manure
is already on the farm, and it
ought therefore to be worth more
than in a city or village stable, where
it has to be drawn Beveral miles before
it can be applied to the land. On the
other band, the farmer who draws man
ure from a city fixes up a wagon box
that will hold fully twice as much as
any load of produce that he takes from
the farm to market. A dollar a load is
the usual price for these large loads
when contracted for by the year.
In tbe summer, when manure piles
in cities are a nuisance, manure
from cow stableB will be sold much
less than this. We have known it of
fered at 50 cents a load, and in extreme
cases have seen it given free of cost to
whoever will take it away.—Boston
Cultivator. -,
granted one for "an application of wa
ter power to mills." Biographical notes
state that Mr. Jencks Introduced to the
Massachusetts colony the idea of patent
ing iuventionB, and that he might pro
teot and introduce his ideas seems to
have been a reason for coming to the
new oountry. Tbe grass scythe patented
in 1653 was perhaps the most valuable
of his inventions. Tho improvement
over the old English scythe, with its
short, thick blade, like bush scytho,
consisted in lengthening the blade,
making it thinner and welding a square
bar at tho baok and strengthening it.
Today this scythe, practically unchang
ed, is used in Europe und America. Tbe
patent was withheld from Mr. Joncke
for nine years, as It was thought to bo
too valuable to be monopolized.—Hart
ford Oourant
A Popular Deln.lon.
"Did you rend
thiB,
dear?" said Mrs.
Grignby to Orlando tho other night.
"It's a strange case. A harmless lunatio
imagines that he's a grain of corn and
will not go into the yard lost a ohioken
eat bim. Isn't it an odd delusion?"
"Oh, the world's full of such delu

of friends over his r^s'ly built house.
One of the party wouiv uot admire it
