Home Lighting.

Don't 4'put up with wretched-
ly poor light, even if you do use lamps;
and don't keep them within reach of
the children. For the obtaining of the
first, get good burners, even if YOU
have cheap lamps. For the second,
fasten all lamps in brackets as far as
possible above the little ones heads.
Chandeliers can be had in beautiful
designs for lamps as well as gas. and
at just as wide a range of prices. The
Rochester burners, are the best, giving
clear, soft light. They consume a
great deal of oil, but one good lamp is
better than six poor ones.
All lamp should>be filled in the dav-
time and at a regular hour. They
must not be too full; they must be very
carefully wiped off. The globes and
ehimneys should be kept clean and
clear. The wicks. are best trimmed by
simply rubbing off the charred sur
face.
The light is often affected by the
holes in the burner becoming clogged.
This can be remedied by boiling the
burners in strong solution of washing
soda.
When the lamp is lighted, it will be
very evident to one sense at least.
whether it is too full. not wiped per-
fectly dry, or turned down too low, as
from any of these causes an odor that
is powerful if not sweet, will ascend
toward heaven--Good Housekeeping.

Duck-Legged Dudes.

A couple of duck-legged dudes got
into Brook street car the other dav
and broke the rules of the company
and insulted ladies in the car by film Q
it with the filthy fumes of cigarette
smoke. An old negro woman carrying
bundle got into the car at Second
street and was about to take her seat,
when she looked around and, eyeing
the dudes for minute, famed the
smoke away from in front of her face
with her open hond and said: ..Say,
little boys. eff you'll fro dem ar weeds
away yer suckin' I'll gin yer er dime
ter buy seegars wild; dey makes me feel
sick at de stummick. an I'd rudder
ride than walk. The little boys
didn't take the dime, but they took the
hint, pulled the strap, stopped the car
and got out. Sum white folks

nundreds of miles east and west, paraf-

hundreds of miles east and west, paral-
lei with the northern shores Of the
Gulf Of Guinea, and were supposed to
be the dividing line between the rivers
that empty into the gulf and those
which flow north to the Niger. It was
not until Binger's return to Europe,
however, that his conclusive proofs of
the mythical character of those famous
mountains were submitted to the
geographers. The Kong mountains
now remain only as a conspicuous in
stance of a great geographical delusion,
innocently introduced upon the maps
by an illustrious explorer and per-
petuated for generations.
Long before Binger, on his south
ward journey from the Niger, arrived
at the city of Kong, which he was the
first European to visit, he was CON
WINGED that the mighty Kong range
was a myth. He had reached the
head waters of the Baule, the largest
southern aff1uent of the Niger, and
near them he found a stream flow
ing south, which proved to be the Lahu
river, emptying into the Gulf of
Guinea. Then he found the head
stream of the Akba and other south
flowing rivers. He then passed from
the Niger basin, and had found that
the water-parting between it and the
many streams that flow to the Gold and
Ivory coasts is almost imperceptible.
The traditional Kong mountains would
have to be sponged from the map, for
in his long journey Binger saw only
isolated SUBMITS here and there and
not an extended mountain chain such
as the Kong mountains have been sup
posed to be.
Mungo Park is chiefly responsible
for the important place the Kong
mountains have occupied on the maps.
From two points on the Upper Niger
he saw, far to the south, the hazy out
lines of some mountains which the ma
tives told him formed part of great
range. This information was COM
bined later with that collected by Bow
dich farther east; and thus geogra-
piers evolved the hypothesis that a
mighty mountain wall separated the
photographic basins of the Niger and
the coast rivers.
A few years ago the explorer Bon
nat, by his journey far inland on the
Volta river, shattered so much of this
theory as depended upon reports sent
home by BoWdich, and now Binger has
leveled the western part of the great
Kong range. The last editions of some
of the best African maps show the
Kong mountains in all their wonted
blackness, but with the addition Of a
skeptical Interrogation point. The
next editions will see them wiped from
the maps entirely.

THEAoRSE AUcTlONEER.
In an Emergency He Is Called In to Sell q
Piano.

The regular auctioneer was i'll and
in the emergency the auctioneer from
the horse stables across the street con-
sented to act in his place. A big crowd
of people filled the room to bid on a lot
of household goods that had been adj
yertised for sale. A piano was the first
thing offered.
Now, ladies and gents" said the
horse auctioneer, as he mounted the
block. 4 wish to call your attention
to dis magnificent pianer-forte. l have
its pedigree here, which will be fur
nished to Gle purchaser, an he will be
surprised at what he has bought. 1
would call yeer particular attention to
its color-a beautiful mahogany bay, one
of de most beautiful and desirable
colors dat kin be selected. Dis pianer
hasn't got spot or blemish. 1t is war
ranted to work double or single. Ex-
anime it.closely for ringbone spawn or
quarter crack. Will some one in de
audience please step to de front and
test it's wind?''
A young man who combed his hair
pompadour and had a wild look in his
eyes elbowed through the crowd and,
taking seat on the stool, ran his ting-
ers over the keys, then through his
pompadour, hitched the stool a little
closer, found one of the pedals, and be-
gan to thump out tune
What do you think of dat lick, ladies
and gents?" said the auctioneer, as he
looked triumphantly around the room.
Ever see. anything purifier den dat in
yer lives? Never skip or break.
Dat gait's good fer 2.2O anywhere.
Now, what am / bid? Remember, who
ever buys dis pianer buys pedigree a
yard long,
The ladies in the crowd looked at
the auctioneer in some wonderment,
and taking this for silent admiration he
directed his remarks to them directly:
Nov, ladies, here's pianer dat /
kin recommend to yer on de dead
square. Dis is a single-foot instrument
dat doesn't shy or scare at de cars. Jest
as easy as rockin' chair. Gentle as a
lamb. Doesn't kick or bite. Will de
gent let 'er go round once more for de
benefit Of the ladies?''
The young man on the stool 'let 'er
go" again, this time pounding out
Where Is My Wandering Bow To-
Night" and several other things of
equal artistic merit.
Now, ladies and gents,n said the
auctioneer, when the young man paused
for breath, .'dat's performance dat
speaks for itself. Remember dis piner
is jest off of grass. Hasn't been handled.
for six months. What am bid?;'
But there was no bid.
The ladies went out of the room by
twos, threes and tours and left only the
men to enliven the occasion by calling
out, Let 'er go once under the saddle,

and my Japanese friends ate it with
great gusto. In Corea it is not un-
common for the fishermen to take a
bottle Of pepper-sauce along with them
and eat a fish as they take it from the
hook, sprinkling a bit of red-hot chill
over it, and eating it down without
cleaning anything off except the scales.
The Coreans are by no means par
ticular as to the manner in which their
fish and meals are served. The en-
trails are sold and eaten as well as the
rest of the meat, and common dish
at a big dinner is chicken baked,
feathers, entrails and all, and served
whole on the table. The Corean is the
greatest eater in the world, and more
than any other man in the world he
lives to eat. The average man the
country over eats everything he can
get his teeth on, and he will take a
dozen meats day if he have the
chance.
had sixteen chair-bearers in a trip
which | took into the interior, and
these bearers stopped at every village
and almost every house to rest and
feed. They would dart off one by one
into fields of turnips by the wayside,
and for the next half-mile would go
along eating raw turnips.
The bigger a mans stomach is Tin
Corea the more wealthy he is supposed
to be, and you see pot-bellied young
sters everywhere you go. A Corean
has a short sack which comes down
just below the middle of his waist, and
his full. baggy pantaloons are tied up
under this. Some Of the baby boys
have outgrown the size of their jackets.
and you see belt of fat, yellow skin,
between the ends of the pantaloons and
toe beginning of the coat.
Some of the wealthy ones wear bus
ties over their abdomens in order to in
crease the size of their fronts The
king usually makes a present to those
who have an audience with him. He
sent a lot of provisions to the Ameri-
can generals a few days after they ar
rived in Corea to recognize the army,
and there is no lack of good things in
the palace. The Corean country pro-
duces good meat, and the Coreans are
greater meat eaters than the Chimes,
or che Japanese.

Appetite of the Coreans.

The Coreans are egg eaters and
many of the japanese like their eggs
raw, says Current Literature Raw fish
is a common article of diet in both
Japan and Corea. and I attended a

of white, uncooked trout were brought
in covered with ice and served as one

lHey were a Strange Slght-those
swarthy Moors -swathed to the very
eyes in coarse white cloths and stretch
ed at full length upon the rich rugs,
each gravely and silently putting away
at long amber-tipped pipe. and each
lost under the influence Of the subtle
narcotic he was smoking. They were
there with US in the body. but through
the power of the mysterious drug hid
den in their quaint pipes their spirits
were far away, reveling in the Mussel-
mans paradise with the fair houris Of
his faith. Surrounded on all sides by
dirt and degradation, their lives but an
intending succession of pitiable depri-
vations. their horizons limited by the
fanatical barbarism under which they
live, only in such hours as this do they
escape from their environments and
rise above their daily miseries. It was
sad enough spectacle to see the de-
scendants of people once famous for
a high culture and ripe civilization
forced to find their solace in joys as I'M
substantial as the curling smoke out
OF which they were formed, and which
would but leave the unhappy dreamers
the more enervated and the more de-
pressed.
Thus felt we all, and, as after our

RICHMOND, Va, May 3O.-The crowded
condition of the streets indicates thousands
of strangers are here. They are pouring in
on every train. Two fine military companies
from Alabama and Mississippi have arrived.
Captain L. B. Trout, of the Zollikoffer
guards. Knoxville, is here. Governor Gordon
and staff, and General Longstreet, are also
in the city. General Beauregard writes to
General Charles G. Anderson that he is at

decorations are the handsomest ever seen
here Hon. David c. Richardson mailed to
Col. Elliott F. Shepherd, of the New York
Mail and Express, letter in which he asks
that he will relent in his wrath and leave the
southern people in the enjoyment of the con-
stitutional liberty to honor the memory of
the great and good Robert E. Lee. He closes
his sarcastic epistle as follows: ''If this favor
should be granted us We cordially invite you
to be present, and to show our gratitude We
promise you all the notorlety you seek by
publicly exhibiting you before half million
of our people as the only man in this country
who has ever conceived the thought that our

MnwAuKEk, Wis, May 3C.-The following
declaration of principles was adopted by the
mass meeting of Catholics in this city:
1--WE, the members OF the first state con-
vention of the German catholics in Wiscon-
sin, consider it our highest and most noble
duty to assure the common father of all Cath
Ole christendom, his holiness, Pope Leo XIII,
of our unconditional submission to the in
fallible teachings of Christ's representative
and successor of st. Peter, and do assure his
holiness of our unconditional submission to
his fatherly and loving care
Together with this, our humble submis-
sion, we express here our most ardent wish
that the so just and reasonable demand of
the holy father and of all christendon, that
the patrimOny of St. Peter or the annexed
papal state may, in accord with the ail-wlse
guidance of God, be returned during the life
time of his holiness to the religious heirdon. "
The convention recognizes the duty of
Catholics as members of the church and cit
Zens, points out the sacrifices made by Cath
olics in defense of the integrity of the union,
and concludes:
I've fully endorse the resolutions adopted
by the convention of Catholic benevolent So
sieties of the state, in reference to the Ben
net law, endorsing the same in all their bear
ings."
The declaration closes with An endorse
ment of benevolent societies.

German Catholics.

MILWAUKEE, May 29.-At the convention
of German Catholic societies, in session here,
Bishop Flasch referred to the Bennett law in
his address, and upheld the right of the
church to go into politics when its interests
were attacked. He was followed by Bishop
Katzer, of Green Bay, who took off his coat
rs If to emphasize his earnestness, and pro-
ceeded to attack the Bennett law IN the bit
terest manner. He said the law practically
denied the right of the child to obey its par
ents by putting its claims before those of the
parents. ''The friends of the law" he said,
''tell US that the child has rights which the
states must see is accorded it. But the par
ents have more interest IN the child than the
state. The governor and his little German
boy will be well taken care of by their par
ents if the state will let them alone" As
the bishop proceeded he warmed to his su5-
ject and fairly brought his hearers to their
feet by the intensity of his manner. He be-
came angry, pathetic, and sarcastic by turn.
'sThis Bennett law" the bishop continued,
sswas conceived in the minds of freethinkers
and those opposed to the Catholic church
and her schools" He was told recently, he
said, by Mason, that the Bennett Law was
first suggested by the Masons. The man
said, 81 could prove it to you if didn't put
60 high a value on my head, that the Bennett
law was first agitated in the grand lodge of
Masons of the state of Wisconsin"

Trouble in an Alabama Town.

BIR,rINGHAM, Ala. May 31.-At Six Mile,
fifty miles southwest of this city, four young
women were walking along the principal
street of the town when they were met by
three negro women. Dora Carter, Lille Bel
cher and Mandy Johnson. The sidewalk was
narrow and both parties refused to make
any room. The negro women then pushed
the white women into the street, at the same
time applying to them "a number of vile cpl
thets.
The same night party of white men went
to the houses of the three negro women, and.
dragging them from bed in their night
clothes, gave them terrible fiogging. One
cf the women was beaten into insensibility
and all of them were whipped in a brutal
manner. This created great excitement
among the negroes, and at an early hour ne
gro men began to assemble on the streets and
talk the matter over, at the same time threat
ening vengeance against the whites. They
soon became demonstrative. The whites
grew alarmed and began to arm themselves.
The negroes were ordered to disperse, but
showed no inclination to do so until they
were attacked by the whites and driven off
the streets by force. Many of them showed
fight ana for a time bloody riot was threat
ened, but the negroes being outnumbered
and poorly armed, drew off to wait for re-
endorsements.
All the negroes for ten miles around the
town are gathering in the vicinity of Six
Mile. and yesterday they telegraphed several
orders for guns and ammunition to this city.
They are much excited and threaten to burn
the town and kill every white man who at
tacks them. The town is guarded by two
hundred men, whites, who will kill every ne
gro who attempts to make trouble.
The latest reports from the town say that
the negroes are receiving guns and pistols
and that a conflict = pypactpH The naproaS
are congregated in large numbers near the
thwn and 1t is thought that they will make
an attack. The men who cowhided the three
negro women, It's said, wore masks. and the
dispatches from Six Mile do not give their
names.
