TIE LIME KILN CLUB.

Statistics Showing the Moral Improve.
ment of the Colored Race Wanted.
When the meeting had been opened in due
form Brother Gardner said he desired to call
the attention of the meeting to the following
circular recently issued by the keeper of the
museum:
! To the public: "The Lime Kiln Club mu-
scum now contains about 1900 relics, rang
! ing in interest from the sword of Bunker Hill
to the jackknife of John Quincy Adams We
have room for at least 1000 more, and are
making an earnest effort to build up some
thing which will live after us. If you have
anything in the nature of a relic which you
are willing to part with we viii receive it
with grateful hearts. We sadly need an
other skull of Nero, and can make room for
any old boots belonging to Plato, spades or
+ shovels used by Diogenes, or shotguns with
the name of Caesar engraved on the breech.
: We are the only museum in this country
which accepts relics as marked and swear by
'em forever after"
INFORMATION WANTED
Sir Isaac Walpole wanted some informa-
ton. He had been looking over the annual
report of the Detroit police board, and had
noted the fact that, out of over 1000 arrests
during the year, there were only four Afri-
cans. However, when it came to colored
people born in the United States the figures
were 453. Did this go to show that civiliza-
tion corrupted the colored man? Didn't it
give black eye to the generally accepted
theory that the better colered man was
educated the higher above crime would he
soar? He would like the views of the presi-
dent on the matter.
MY theory in regard TO your figgers am
dis, replied Brother Gardner. "Dar' war
only fo' real ole Africans in Detroit, an
arter desc had bin run in de stock was ex.
hausted an de perlice had to go fur Guild
Americans to fill up de gap. When only one
fish hook out of sebenteen cotches Guild
man l doan' reckon he am slidin' down hill
SO VERY fast" .
STATISTICAL.
Waydown Beebe said he had been thinking
for some time that the club ought to take il
upon itself to gather and compile certain
statistics regarding the colored race of this
country, and he trusted that a movement
in that direction would be favorably con.
sidered.
Pickles Smith supported the idea. He
wanted to know just how many colored men
were hanged every year; how many left the
profession of whitewashing for that of law;
what number became baldheaded; how many
committed suicide, and why they did it.
Several other members discussed the sub
ject favoraby, and it was finally agreed that
statistician should be appointed at an an
nual salary of So Brother Gardner an.
nounced that he would appoint Professor
Clarified Walkingbeam to the position, anG
instructed him to enter upon his duties al
once The salary is intended to be just sufff
cient to keep the professors hair cut close
the year round. The office is distinctively
honorary, and the incumbent's social posi-
ton will at once be raised good many
pegs.

Motion Adds Charm to Beauty.
have seen Mary Anderson and think
her very beautiful. Her beauty coils it
self around ones Eaart and crushes its
prey. 1t is different type of beauty from
the Langtry's, who is, in my opinion, a
more beautiful woman than Mary AnQer-
son, and whose beauty is of that kind
which you would like to see your mother,
or sister, or sweetheart possess. 1t in
spires sisterly affection while compelling
admiration. Mrs. Langtry would be beau
tiful even if she were only Il lay figure.
Miss Anderson on the other hand, is u
beauty that requires motion to give it eff
fectiveness. Ellen Terry is, perhaps, the
greatest living exponent of this kind of
beauty. Her chief charm is her grace,
and she keeps constantly in motion sothat
your eyes are ever purusing her and adj
miring her.
Miss Anderson belongs to the same
school saw her in New York before she
went to Europe; then she was merely a
beautiful woman; since that time she has
become an artist, and not only the form,
the spirit of beauty is in her, and she is
fascinating. She has acquired the art of
and learned the secret that
motion gives a charm to beauty of her
kind, So size fits across and around the
stage in a tireIess manner, evading your
and feeling conscious that if she
were to stand still you would criticise and
possibly find fault with her.-Globe-D DEM
