The Globe-Democrat argues that the
Colored voters would benefit the Repub
lican party by leaving it. The New
York Tribune, however, seems MT tc
see the force of the q. D. logic and pub
fishes most complimentary account Of
a meeting Of Colored Republicans in
New York city which endorsed the Fas.
sett ticket. The trouble with the G. D.
is that it wabbles so much that it is hard
sometimes to tell whose side it is on.

The Georgia legislature which has re-
Gently adjourned, was guilty of some of
the most abomniable class.legislation
ever enacted in this country; separate
cars even on street railroads, revival of
the whipping post, forbidding the chain

etc, A state cursed with such legisla-
tive body almost deserves commisera.

Subscribe for The APPEAL, good race
paper and you will know something
about Colored people.
Most of our people think We are the
most ignorant people in the world, JUS,
because some white man says 80. BY
taking good Colored paper instead OF
two or three white ones we can soon
learn that all that is said of our ignor.
ance is not true.
Some of our men are complaining be.
cause SO few Colored men are employed
in building the elevated road of this ci.
ty. 1t is a shame that they should
debarred because of their color: vet iii
good thing in some respects; first, be.
cause it will show those that love the
pale-face so we'll that they cannot fill
places that are desired by the whites
even though the whites be of the lowest
type. Second; 1t will compel our
young men to seek new and higher fields
they will soon learn to want Fl lids OF
their own. They will he driven into
nobler spheres. Twenty years ago it
was a rare thing to see white coachman
or waiter; now most of the coachmen al e
white md the best hotels are nearly all
filled with white walters.
The Colored men that filled those pla.
ces once have been driven into different
kinds of business into Medical Law and
Business Colleges and other places here
they will become men. Let us not be
discouraged when we are not allowed to
fill those humble places; but let US press
forward with more zeal; and we will
soon reach higher level.

The AIT of Making Poultices.

The moist heat, which acting alone
will quell all but the most violent in
Examinations, is often most conve-
niently attained by means of poul-
tices, which it is desirable that every
girl who is studying household du-
ties should learn to make. We give
below authoritative directions for
making those most commonly used /:
Flaxseed Poultices.-Pour sUtfi-
cient boiling water over the ground
flaxseed to make it as thick cream,
and let the mixture simmer a few
minutes. Apply as hot as can be
borne.
Mustard Poultices-Mix equal
quantities of mustard, cornmeal and
-four in warm water until just thick
enough not to run. Spread it over
the poultice cloth, and if very
quick action of the poultice is desir-
ed, sprinkle a little clear mustard on
before folding the cloth over it. APP
this side next to the skin.
Bread and Milk Poultice-Simmer
old bread in milk until soft enough
TO mash smoothly. Crackers may
be used instead of bread, if neces-
sary.
Indian-Meal Poultice-Stir the
cornmeal into water, and cook like
mush for five minutes or more.
Slippery-Elm Poultice-Pour boil.
ing water over slippery-elm bark
(powde"ed) add a li,t!e powdered
charcoal, il nece"sa"v.
All classes of poultices should be
spread on one-half of an oblong piece
of thin muslin the other half should
then be folded over the spread mass
and the loose edges carefully joined
with needle and thread.

A Remarkable River.

On the African shore, near the
Gulf Of Alden, and connecting the
Lake of Assal with the main ocean,
may be found one of the most won
derful rivers in the world. This
curiosity does not flow to, but from,
the ocean towards inland. The sur.
face of Lake Assal itself is nearly
700 feet below the mean tide and it is
fed by this paradoxical river, which
is about % miles in length. II
is highly probable that the whole
basin which the lagoon partly fills
was once an arm of the sea, which be-
came separated therefrom by the
duning Of loose sand. The inflowing
river has a limited volume, being
fullest, of course, at high tide, and
has filled the basin to such an extent
that evaporation and supply exactly
balance each other.

Davis wv. Va.) Times.
It's too late for snake stories in
this neck o. the woods, but Colonel
Bob Eastman is our authority for a
real, genuine fishy truth. 1t is about
this wise: Cyrus Ellis, who works at
Henry's camp, about seven miles
above this place, succeeded in lands
ing about 1923 fine trout one day
last week without hook or line. He
fas ened a stout stick in the bank to
which was tied short piece of gum,
and TO this was attached strip of
red flannel, which was allowed to
float on the water. The fish would
take hold of the flannel, run as far as
the gum would stretch, and in the
rebound of the gum would be thrown
out on dry land. Mr.. Ellis was very
busy during the day and had not
time to fish in the old way.

His Picture in a Snakes Eye,

Butler (Pa.) Citizen.
A remarkable snake story was told
by Il resident of CLARION recently. A
farmer who lived neac Clarion town
was mOwiog in fed when he was
attack ed by a while snake fully 10
feet in length. The reptile coiled it.
self around the farmers waist and
gazed tl,;edly iu his face, evidently
trying TO charm him. Shah ;ng off
the dizzy feeling caused by the
snakes hypnotic gaze, the farmer cut
it TO pieces with the scythe, and then,
exhausted with flight and overe=e;-
ton, sank to the ground. The head
OF the snake, with portion of the
body, lay near him, and the Odor
caused him 10 pick it up. He found
it was an alhino snake. The.peculiar
formation of the snakes eyes caused
him to examine them closely, and he
discovered perfect reproduction of
his face photographed in the contre
of bis eye. He brought the snake to
town, where it was photographed
and preserved in alcohol. The Mega
tive taken by the photographer
shows the snakes eye with the farm
er's face as clearly as if taken with a
camera.
