With a splendid physique, tall and
powerfully built. the swarthy com

crop of negro hair, white as snow, and
features while of the negro type, are
nevertheless full of emotional fire and
intellectual force, he looks every inch
q man born for distinction
His father he never knew. His
mother was a black slave, and he was
born on remote plantation lying on
the banks Of the Choptauk river, in
Maryland, February, 1917. ''amid the
LATEST and muddiest of streams, sur
rounded by q white population of the
lowest order and among slaves who in
point of ignorance and Incidence were
fully in accord with their surround
ings." It is a remarkable fact that
there was one. and apparently only one,,
exception to the general laziness and
ignorance of the black population in
the midst of which he was born, and
that one exception was his mother.
She could read, though how she could
have learned has ever been mystery
to her son.
All the world Is moro or less familiar
with the slave life of America, and the
only exceptional feature of Frederick
Douglass career was the fact of his be-
ing high-spirited, bright and intelli-
gent mulatto, with consuming desire
for knowledge and freedom. A lady
incautiously taught him his alpha bet,
and although the peril o it was speedi-
ly discovered and every effort made to-
extinguish the light thus kindled the
efforts were in vain. Do glass learned
to read and write and by and by he re-
solved to be free. 1t is difficult to
realize the desperate character of such
u resolution.
He knew something of theology but
nothing of geography, and did not
know whether there was u spot on this
side the Atlantic where he could be
safe. However, he and four or five
others made their plans, Were betrayed
and were plunged into mere hopeless
depths of slavery. At % years OF age
he succeeded IN escaping, and after
ward went to England fugitive slave,
Two quaker ladies of Newcastle raised
$3.50 for the purchase of his freedom,
and, as he himself pithily puts it, pro-
vided with this title to his own body
he went back to fight the battles of his
race.
In 1s47 he began in Rochester, n.
", the publication of "Fredcrick
Douglass Paper" whose title was,
afterward changed to THE North
Star" In 1859 he again fled to Eng
land to escape arrest for supposed inn
plication in the John Brown raid. He
assisted in organizing colored regi-
ments during the war, and in 1871 was.

The day of the professional politi-
clan has undoubtedly begun to wane.
The people OF this country are getting
sufficiently posted to think for them
selves and do not need to be told how
to vote. The time was when the pro-
fessional politicians could put upon
the people any sort of n candidate that
they choose, and the voters would
blindly elect him. That day is in the
dim misty past rs it were. Now, II n
candidate is not acceptable to the
party ut large, he is simply ignored at
the polls, and the other fellow gets

date action towards the consumma-
ton OF some plan by which the posi-
bilities which now stare us in the face

but we must bestir ourselves. 1t will
require decades to attain anything like
efficiency in trained force. and the
work OF education cannot begin too
soon, Legislation is far from being u
potent cure for all ills, but in this case
it is the one thing that will save US.

A NATURE woman who has not re

A MATURE woman who has not re-
spect enough for the dignity Of her
sex to cast off dolls and pinafores,
paregoric and pantalets in names
ought to be reminded that the quality
OF intellectual force thus indicated Is
not quite enough for the teachers
rank. The marvel is that women do
not themselves feel tho danger OF in
viting familiarity by tolerating pet
names after they are grown beyond the
age OF kitties and doggies. No woman
OF high breeding would permit any
one except members OF her own family
to address her by her childhood's
name. 1t is the more surprising be-
cause many OF tie names belittled into
contempt are themselves 30 fine 50
rich in reminiscence so inspiring to
high ideal and worthy self-esteem.

THE example OF other monarchs let
tho Car follow. The element OF
danger should not deter him. He
would, in fact, DO safer out OF his own
dominions than in them. Every civil
lied nation would be glad to give him
a safe conduct and even the wander
ing Nihilist would spare him, trusting
that the civilizing effect OF his travels
would send him home with large ideas
OF mercy and tolerance. BY all means
let the Gear travel.

THE imposing Of digni6ed obliga-
ton on those who are in need will give
them more strength than the humility
Of accepting outright gifts. To be
sure, there are many cases where a
promise to pay would be OF little
avail, but in many instances the
trust would be respected and the
obligation met. The gain by this
method would be twofold. The objects
Of charity would receive the same ma
terial benefit and in many instances
much greater moral encouragement
The payment OF goodly portion OF
these loans would make any given
charity fund go much further. One
finds pleasure in letting his fancy fol-
low the devious ways and varied SER
vices Of a sum set aside for such pur-
pose to be reapplied on Its return.

MEN are apt to accept faith which
allows them to fold their hands and
await the coming Of a better day, when
all mankind shall have equally with
them learned to love each other. They
hear from the pulpit that when the love
OF God fills all hearts there will be no
lack OF justice, and go ON collecting
usury and taking legal advantage Of
their fellows with the consciousness
that the coming day will not seriously
disturb their occupation.

appointed assistant secretary to the
commission of San Domingo. In 1876
he was made United States marshal
for the District of Colum bia, where he
remained until 1881.
Subsequently he filed the Office of
recorder Of deeds in the district, but
was removed by President Cleveland in
1886. His commission to Hayti has
been held by the eminent orator since
his appointment by President Harrison.
Through what other vicissitudes his
wonderfully varied career W IL take

A GREAT ucnl OF the help rendered
unfortunate people with n view to
making reforms. as we'll as alternating
present suffering, fails in one OF Its
purposes on account OF the way 1t is

is something that may revive pride In

The Bengal tiger has more courage

who states that the matter was tested
in this manner: "We placed shoot

fired the fuses AS soon as the fuses
began to burn they attracted the at
tention Of both animals, but in a wide
~ different manner. The lion drew
into corner and watched the proceed
ings with distrustful and uneasy eve.
The tiger, on the contrary advanced to
the burning fuse with firm step and
unblnchlng gaze. On reaching the
cracker he took his paw and began to
roll 1t over the floor, and when it ex-
ploded beneath his very nose he did
not finch but continued his examine
ton until perfectly satisfied. The lion
betrayed great fear when he heard the
report OF the explosion and for quite a
time could not be coaxed out of his

Women Travelling Alone.

Never in twenty-five years exper-
fence have ! ever seen so many women
travelling alone as there are this sum-
mer. Almost half the passengers in
the sleeping cars on my last three
trips were women unattended by es-
cort. They were all going off some
where to spend their vacations and
were as Independent 40 you please.
Most of the women carry those INFER
nal Kodak cameras, and were too
much occupied taking snap shots out
OF the car windows and OF the other
persons in the car to care for the men.
l have noticed for the last three or
four years that women are getting to
be more independent and are travel
ling about alone rs freely as drum
mers. They are lots of trouble,
though, most OF these women. They
want too much for their money, and
are too inquisitive to suit me. The
old hands Mt travelling are little
less exacting, and know two or three
ladies who are as easy to get along
with as man. They 60 all over the
country alone, and you are just MS
likely to run across them all in the
same town in California as alone IN
the cars. They do not know each
other, and do not appear to want to
make any new acquaintance. One of
these IS a Boston woman of means.
She takes in every big show in the
country, from the "Native Day" in
California to the Mardi Gras in New
Orleans and the Charity Ball in New
York. She knows as much about the
different roads and hotels in the coun-
try rs any man ever met, and seems
to enjoy life in her own peculiar way.
/ always see her at least four times q
year, sometimes more.-St. Louis

Some Uses of Kerosene.

II n tablespoonful is put into quart
OF tepid water and this used in wash
ing windows and mirrors, instead Of
pure water, there will remain upon
the cleaned surface abolish no amount
of mere friction can give. If flannel
cloth dipped in kerosene, then wrung
dry, be used in rubbing off dirty finger
marks from paint, the grateful house
keeper willrepeat theexperiment often.
To clean and brighten brasses and
copper, wiring out piece OF soft fan
mel in Kerosene, and with this apply
Putt pomade to the tanished surface.
When well coated, rub hard with old
linen and polish with dry flannel. The
result leaves nothing to be desired.
The shining brasses OF locomotives
and ferry boats are cleaned in this
manner. For white spots left upon
polished furniture by scalding water,
tea or coffee, rub hard with kerosene,
then polish with dry soft flannel.

ButtermIIk a Tonic.

Buttermilk is in much greater de-
mand as summer beverage than
sweet milk. AS a therapeutic agent is
given now to sick persons when moth
ing elseis allowed. 1t is powerful
nerve tonic. Butt rmilk is now con-
sidcred better than sweet milk for per-
sons inclined to dyspepsia because
one OF the difficulties OF milk-its slow
digestive qualities--is removed at
once, as buttermilk has already gone
through one process OF digestion.
Iced buttermilk is o fashionable fad
now. Ladies offer glass OF butter
milk to their friends in summer just
as they do the 'cup Of tea" in winter.
