" You's DEM"

Some time ago two colored boys, be-
tween whom there was a feud, met in
the street and began to quarrel. One
of them became very abusive, and call
ed the other great many hard names.
The other listened to him until his
stock of vituperation was exhausted and
then said, us you done?" The first
intimated that he had no more to say.
The other replied: Cali dem things
you say | is, yOu's dem" The boy doubt
less spoke wiser than he knew. 1t is not
an uncommon thing to hear a man
abused and called by all kinds of names.
But the abusive man is probably all
that he accuses the other of being. The
moral defOrmity and reprObatiOn that
he charges upon the other, is necessary
to generate his own vindictiveness and
cOntumely of abuse. No man will use
ugly words or give vent to harsh cpl
thets unless there is in him a warped
and degenerated moral character to pro-
duce it. The reply of the little cOlOred
boy is sound reason. Cali dem things
you say l is, you's DEM -Methodist

Columbia'S Emblem.

Miss Edna Dean Proctor puts the emphasis
upon tasselled corn as the emblem for America
which is closest to the soil. and which is every
where native and universal. In the arbutus and
the laurel and the daisy we have an emblem that
has much significance. and in the gOldenrOd peO-
pie have found fairly representative flower but
the corn is still more representative and stands
far better as the emblem for the continent. Miss
Proctor puts the case strongly in her breezy
words:
For the rareSt boon to the land they loved
Was the corn so rich and fair.
Nor star nor breeze DER the fartheSt seas
Could find its like elsewhere.
1t has universal claims as Americas fruit and
flower. and nothing comes up to it as of equal
service and benefit. Miss Proctor continues:
THE rose may bloom for England,
The lily for France unfold:
Ireland may honor the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold;
But the shield of the great republic,
The glory of the West.
Shall bear a stalk of the taSSeled corn,
OF all our wealth the best,
The arbutuS and the gOldenrOd
The heart of the North may cheer,
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters rear;
And Jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the South adOrn.
But the wide republics emblem
Is the bOunteOuS. golden cOrn!'"

There's nothing meaner than scandal. Always
try to stop an ugly story or hint whenever you
can. Say nothing yourself of anybody behind
his back that you wouldn't say to his face and
before speaking against any one, ask yourself
rs it true? Is it necessary" 1t was said of a
certain pOus woman that when she was told a
tale against another in her village her reply
usually was: Come, we will go and ask if that
be true" The effect was something wonderful.

In God We Trust"

The motto, :" In God We Trust" which is now
stamped upon all gold and silver coins of the
United States, was suggested by an old farmer
living in Maryland This conscientious Chris
tian gentleman thought that our currency should
indicate in some way the Christian character of
our nation, which he argued would be best done
by putting a motto on our coins, expressing a
national reliance on divine support in govern
mental affairs. 1t was in 1861, when S. P. Chase
was Secretary of the Treasury, this man wrote to
Washington respecting his pet idea. His letter
was referred to Mint Director Pollock who dis
cussed the question in his report of 1862.
Pollock and Chase were in favor of introducing
the motto at once, but Congress gave the sug-
gestiOn no attention whatever.
In the next annual report Director Pollock
again referred to the matter this time in firm
theological argument saying, " The motto sug-
gested, God Our Trnst,' is taken from our ma
tional hymn, The Star Spangled Banner the
sentiment is familiar to every citizen of our
country; the time is prOpitiOus; it's an hour of
national peril Let us reverently acknowledge
his sovereignty, and let our coinage declare our
trust in Cod.
a twOcent bronze piece was authorized by
Congress to be coined the following year, and on
April %, 1864, the first United States coin was
stamped with the legend. "In God We Trust"

Mark Twain's "Scoop."

Here is another story of Mark Twain When
he got his first position as sub-editOr on Cali
fOrnla paper. his crOnes used to swell his record
by giving him exclusive news. One night a
friend brought in an account of a fatal smash-up,
and Mark, tickled with the Scoop sent it up
without reading it. Here it is as it appeared in
the paper:
distressing Accident.-Last evening about six
O'Clock, as William Schuyler, an old and respect
ed citizen of South Park. was leaving his resi-
dence to go down town, as has been his usual
custom for many years, with the exception of
only short interval in the spring of 1850. during
which he was confined to his bed by injuries re-
ceived in attempting to stop runaway horse by
thOughtlessly placing himself in its way and
throwing up his hands and shouting which, if he
had done so even single moment sooner must in
evitably have frightened the animal still more in
stead of checking its speed, although disastrous
enough to himself as it was, and rendered more
melancholy and distressing by reason of the
presence of his wfes mother who was there
and saw the sad occurrence, Notwithstanding it
is at least likely, though not necessarily so, that
she should be accommodating in another direction
when accidents occur, not being vivacOus and
on the lookout, as general thing, but even the
reverse, as her own mother is said to have stated
who is no more but died in full hope of a glorious
resurrection, upward of three years ago. aged
eighty-siX, being Christian woman without
guile, as it were, or property, in consequence of
the fire in 1S49, which destroyed everything she
had in the world. But such is life. Let us all

we come to die we can do it. Let us place our

A House With 1000 Rooma

The Vatican, the ancient palace
of the Popes Of Rome, is the most
magnificent building of the kind in
the world. It stands on the right
bank Of the Tiber, on q hill called
the Vaticanus. because the Latins
formerly worshiped Vaticinium, an
ancient oracular deity, at that place.
Exactly when the building was
commenced no one knows. Char.
lsmagne is known to have inhabited
it over 1000 years ago. The pres
ent extent of the building is enor-
NOUS, the number of rooms, at the
lowest computation, being 4.A22.
Its treasures of marble statue, an
cient gems, paintings, books. man;
uscripts, ETC., are to be compared
only with those of the British Mu'
scum. The length of the statue
museum alone is q fraction over
mile. Conservative writer's say that
the gold contained in the medals
vessels, chains and other objects pre-
served in the Vatican would make
more gold coins than the whole o.

FL Dorado Was q Man.

There is nothing obscure in the
etymology of the Spanish phrase
El Dorado, which means literally
"The Guided" yet to such an extent
has it been abused that few know
that it originally related to, q man
and not to q country. In the latter
sense it has been applied to almost
every gold-bearing district encoun-
tered in America since the discov-
cry; and there is scarcely mining
camp in California but has named
its richest ledge or most popular
resort, whether grog-shop, billiard
saloon or theater, "El Dorado"
As early as the Sixteenth century
it served to designate an imaginary
region abounding in gold and pre-
clous stones somewhere upon the
Isthmus Of Panama, near it's west
ern boundary; but prior to this ac-
ceptation it had become a synonym
for the most remarkable legion Of
the New World, the supposed east
ern proximity of which invested it's
unexplored territory with the CLAM
our of Oriental romance. The term
was, indeed, an application of royal
ty, and Ell Dorado, perhaps verit-
able King whose daily attire is said
to have been q simple coating of aro-
matte resins followed by a sprink-
ling of gold dust blown through q
bamboo cane.-Panama Star.

Gold for Snake Bites.

An antidote for poisonous snake
bites is reported as the latest dis
covery of medical science. This
will be good news to the prohibi-
tionists when they remember that
as much hard liquor as man could
possibly drink has heretofore been
regarded as the only hope for a hu-
man being into whose system the
poison from the reptiles fangs had
been injected. The discovery ia
credited to Albert Calmette, q sur
geon in the French Navy and d.
rector in the Pasteur Institute at
Saigon. Experiments with the sub
stance which he regards as an anti
dote for sneke-poisoning have been
made upon patients bitten by the
deadly najas snakes, which, it is
asserted, kill 10000 persons every
year, and it is said the antidote has
proved entirely effective. The anti.
dote is liquid, having for the base
a salt of gold. Subcutaneous injec'
ton of the preparation, it is de.
clared, not only destroys the effect
of a snake bite, but makes the man
snake-bite proof for life. Only one
application for the remedy is neces'
sary to destroy the effect OF the
worst sort of a bite, according to all
accounts, and the remedy is alike

Ate His Fortune.

A certain old-time Gloucester
shire squire called Rogers, who re-
ceived an education at one of the
universities, made the "grand tour" "
after the fashion of his day, and
then concentrated all his attention
upon the astronomical art.
His fathers death placed a large
fortune in his possession, and he
devoted it to the palate, keeping no
one in his house who was not an
accomplished cook; butler, foot
man, housekeeper. coachman, all
were cooks; while for cooks proper
he had three whom he brought from
Italy, each q famous one, one who
came from Florence, another from
Siena and q third from Viterbo,
whose duty was confined to the pre-
pairing of one special dish, the dolce
piccante of Florence.
He had q messenger constantly
| on the road between Brittany and
London to bring him the eggs Of a
certain kind of plover found near
st. Malo. 1t is recorded that one
dinner, which was prepared exclu.
sively for himself and consisted o1
but two dishes, cost f58.
In nine years he dissipated his
fortune of ESQ., 900, and was found
starving by one of his friends, who
gave him q guinea, and. going soon
after to the wretched garret in which
the ruined epicure had found refuge
discovered him roasting an ortolan

Az to Blondes and Brunettes.

Blonde women are becoming
scarcer every year," said an eminent
anthropologist to a Star writer.
"You have not lived long enough
to remark the fact, but women with
blue eyes and light hair are gradu-
ally though surely passing away as
q type. In each successive genera.
ton there are fewer of them than
in the last. Already such a thing
as real blonde, purely such, is SO
rarely seen in this country as to
excite remark. Golden tresses are
so very infrequent that real ones
are usually suspected of being dyed.
In short, it has become evident that
before very long there will be no
blonde women any more.
"The same thing is true of men.
Among their sex light hair and blue
eyes are fast disappearing. You
may judge how rapidly they are
going when you consider the fact
that whenever a brunette man mar
rice blonde woman, or vice versa,
66 per cent of the children born have
dark hair and eyes. At that rate
not very many centuries will be re-
quired to wipe out the blonde type
altogether. You wonder how this
matter has been determined with
such accuracy? Simply by includ-
ing such statistical observations in
the census of nations. In Germany
and France the very school children
are examined and have their char
acters recorded from an anthropo-
logical standpoint.
"Observations made in this way
so as to cover millions of persons
Of both sexes have resulted in the
discovery that the dark people bring
more children into the world than
do the light people. Furthermore,
they have greater muscular vigoz
and live longer. "-Washington Star.
