The West Indies no Field fOf
FOreiSn Settlers.

Lord Brassey in a letter to the
Times, says: GAS a field for colo
nization by Europeans, and more
particularly by British settlers, the
West Indies cannot be recommend
ed. On the Hottest slopes of the
Blue Mountains of Jamaica a linn
tied area may perhaps be found
where northern race may enjoy a
suitable climate. Taking broad
view, these lovely islands are on
ly suited to tropical races, and
for these they may be made an
earthly paradise. At the pres
ent. time the British Governors
in the West Indies are much
engaged in efforts to elevate the
negro population into the condi-
ton of peasant proprietors.
Throughout the island vast area
available for cultivation is still
unoccupied. In Jamaica, with
$4,000 acres available, not more
than 612,57O acres are under cul-
tAFdliOh' no ONhCl0 VI GIlS sui,
the negro population would be
more prosperous than at present.
The labor required for the planta-
tons could be supplied by coolie
immigration. The West Indies
are now free from political agita-
ton. A happy mean has been
discovered between the auto
cracy of Crown colony and a
democracy, for which the popula-
ton is not not yet fitted. The
able Chief Judge of Barbados, Sir
William Conrad Reeves, himself a
man of color, considers that, in
their present state of advancement,
sufficient self-government has been
given to the people. 1t is crafty
ing to return home from foreign
dependencies with the favorable
impression of their condition and
prospects which 1 have endeavored
to convey, and which was derived
from personal observation, and still
more from information obtained
from governors, planters, bankers
and merchants"

views and have decided 20 offer Fire xood
instead Of Coin as prizes, and upon in
quiring around and getting prices quoted
by several dealers they settled on two as
the only ones whose rates were sufficient
ly cheap for business, calling upon the
one OF those whose prices were quoted
lowest, they had about concluded ar
rangements when they discovered that
his wood was worthless as it was worm
eaten and had dry-rot, SO dropping their
negotiation they called upon the other,
HUSTACE & CO., and after apologizing
for not coming there first they inspected
their Wood and found it in frst-class
condition-sound and good-and more
than doubly worth the difference asked;
without further argument the bargain
was closed and thus the objection to the

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The House reassembled at 2 P. NJ.
Noble MarSden read letter from
the President of the Board stating
that $4,000 would be needed for the
Board.
Rep. Smith supported the amount
of $3.50, 900. All were fully alive to the
importance of education in this
country, but he believed work could
be done at less cost if the Board would
follow different plan. They i'm
ported too many teachers from abroad.
The same work could be as we'll or
better done by making more use of
our own native supply. lCalls of
kokua and that's SOL 1t was not q
gracious thing to criticize Boards like
this composed of citizens who gave
their time gratuitously, but the Board
had certainly laid itself open to criti-
cism in its method of employing
teachers. Among these teachers were
many able men and women, but there
were among them also many most
undesirable persons. He could point
out districts where male teachers
Qoreigners) had been employed
who had exercised most de-
moralizing influence in the COM
munity. Complaints had been
made TO which the Board paid no at
tention. Parents were unwilling to
send their children to these schools,
particularly their girls. Women
could be employed at lower rate.
The objection had been made that it
was hard to get suitable places for
lady teachers TO live. But if two were
appointed together they could board
themselves. The Board would doubt
less say-why had not more COM
plants been made. 1t was an UNI
pleasant thing to do, which people did
not like. The fact was certain that
the Board, through its Secretary and
Inspector General, had laid itself open
to the charge of favoritism. and keep
Ing iii improper persons. He did not
wish to disparage the operation of the
present system; but he did wish to
say there should be more industrial
education. There should be more
schools like Kamehameha. The native
boys had better opportunities than
the white. If there were school like
kamehameha for white bows, he
would send his boy there. The most
honorable man on the face of the
eartu was the man who could earn
ms living by some useful employment.
The smattering of book learning was
OF little use. 1t had been said that oI

about one-third turn out fit for some
thing. He hoped the time would

Girls and Low Cut Gowns.

The question of when to wear low cut
gowns can lave but one answer, Never in
daylight" The rule chat obtains for the
assumption of mems evening dress-"from
dusk to dawn"-is adjustable to both. For
every function of society held from midday
to a late dinner hour a girls dress should
be worn high, with long sleeves. If on any
gala occasion it should be desirable to re-
lax the %stringency of this ordinance, it
should be only to cut the dress open a little
below the throat, and to wear elbow sleeves,
a pretty girlish fashion, in which her youth
full beauty loses naught. There is nova
days to be had such a variety of soft hued,
crapy, clinging stuffs, than which nothing
can better enhance round contours and fine
lines of nature, that a young woman need
not sigh for the additional attraction OF
neck and shoulders revealed to an artificial
light in the afternoon.
A few years ago the experiment was
made of hostesses receiving at large after
noon teas in low cut dresses, but the con-
trast between them and. their guests in
every variety of outdoor garb, including
tailor made gowns. soon brought the fash
ion to an end. At dinners, evening parties
and balls it is so universal a modern GUS
tom to equip young girls in decolletc gowns
that there can only be the question of lndi-
vidual judgment in the matter to combat
it. The cut of such dresses is, however, al
ways modest.-Mrs. Burton Harrison in
Ladies' Home Journal.

NaDoleOn's Mother.

Public attention does not seem to v
been directed toward Napoleon's mother
until her son was proclaimed emperor in
1904. She then received the title of Nine.
Mere, and an income of l 1000, 900 francs was
settled upon her. And that she might
have a position of political Importance she
was made protectrice generate of all the
charitable institutions of France. Such an
Office admirably suited her. She frequent
" solicited favors of her son for others
and was happy whenever her exertions met
with success.
On one occasion, upon learning OF the
arrest of the Due d'Enghien, she even
threw herself upon her knees before Napo-
leon, imploring mercy for the unfortunate
prince.
After this it seems a pity that truthful
ness must make us say that even this great
woman had one littleness, il we may call
it so, of character. She evinced sometimes
a resemblance to the brother whose parsl-
mony her sons had resented in t. cir chlld'
hood, by showing a love of &c .nomlzlng.
even upon trifing occasions. 1nls proved
a source of frequent amusement among
the gay circles of Paris. The emperor
himself was sometimes Il little scandallzed
at her actions, although this did not nil
der him from most highly respecting her
character.-Chambers' Journal.

An Old Story Retold.

A merchant died at Ispahan in the earlier
part of this century who had for many
years denied himself and his son every
support except a crust Of coarse bread. On
a certain occasion he was overtemptedSto
buy d piece of cheese, but reproaching
himself with extravaganza he put the
chess into a bottle, and contentedh himself
and obliged the boy to do the same, with rub
bling the crust against the bottle. enjoying
the cheese in imagination. One day, res
turning nome later than usual, the mer-E
chant found his son eating his crust, which
he constantly rubbed against the door
"What are you about, you fool2" was his
exclamation. "It is dinner time father
you lave the key, so, as | could not open
the door, l was rubbing my bread against
it, as l could not get to the bottle.'' Can
not you go without cheese one day, You
luxurious little rascal? You'll never be-
rich" And the angry miser kicked the
poor boy for not having been able to deny
himself the ideal gratification.-CasselYs

Where Popular Education Has Failed.

Where Popular EuuCaClOn has Ealle0sH4
The educated critics of the practical res
suits of public education complain that
lawless violence continues to break out
just as it did before common schools were
thought of, that lynch law is familiar in
the United States, riots common from Ber-az
lin to Seattle, and assassination an avowed%
means of social and industrial regenerass
ton. Even religious persecution, these
critics say, is rife. The Jews are ostracized5
in educated Germany and metropolitan
New York, and in Russia are robbed and
driven into exile by thousands. Are votes
less purchasable now than they were be-
fore the urban graded school and the state
university were known?
On the other hand, the least educated
and most laborious classes complain that
in spite of universal elementary education,,83
society does not tend toward a greater
equality of condition. They allege that
the rich man in modern society does not
bear, either in peace or in war, the grave
responsibilities which the rich man Of for
mer centuries. who was a great land owner
a soldier and a magistrate, was compelled
to bear. They point out that wars are.
more destructive thar ever, this century
being the bloodiest of all the centuries. IL!
universal education II abolish or even
abate in seventy years the horrible waste
and cruelty of war, can anything great be
hoped from it for laboring classes?-Presi-
dent Elliot in Forum.

Sweet Words in the Home.

There is a tender sweetness about some
of our common phrases of affectionate
greeting, simple and unobtrusive as they
are, which falls like dew upon the heart.
Good night! The little one lisps it as,
gowned in white, with shining face and
hands and prayers said, she toddles off to
bed. Sisters and brothers exchange the
wish; parents and %children; friends and
friends. Familiar use has robbed it of it's
significance to some of us; we repeat it
automatically without much thought.
But consider. We are as voyagers putting
off from time to time upon an u~nexplored
sea.
Our banks of life set sail and go onward
into the darkness, and we, asleep on our
pillows, take no such care as we do when
awake and journeying by daylight. OF
the perils of the night, whatever they may
be, we take no heed. An unsleeping vigil
lance watches over us, but it is the vigi-
lance of one stronger and wiser than we,
who is the eternal good. Good and God
spring from the same root, are the same in
meaning. 'Goodby" is only God be with
you" Good night"i is really "God night"
or ."God guard the night"
It would be a churlish household in
which these gentle forms of speech were
ignored or did not exist. Alike the happy
and the sorrowful day by day may say
"Good night."-Harper's Bazaar.

Mon Ce,r the Sarcastic Girl.

The sarcastic girl may possess talent laz
above the breezy creatur who candluly
admits that she would rather read one of
ssThe Duchess" novels than an essay of
Emerson.
She may be able to converse in seven Dill
ferent languages. She may be as beautiful
as an houri, but men will be afraid OF that
sharp tongue, and the purely feminine
creature, who weeps and laughs by turn
with Phyllis and Molly Bawn, will win
the admiration and preside over the holne
of the greatest catch of the season, while
her more brilliant sister, with her danger
Gus sharpness, will be left to her sarcasms
and solitudes.
Sarcasm is not wit, though wit may be
sarcastic.
One can lie bright and say all manner of
things without hurting the feelings of
others by keen knife edged opinions that
are subtle with bitterness and teeming
with gall.
Sarcasm is not u quality to be cultivated
1t is a rank weed that once started grows
! and grows, choking out the little plants OF
kindliness, forethought and consideration
until it overruns the garden of the mind,
dominating and controlling each thought
with a disagreeable pungent odor that cali
not be eradicated. -Rehoboth Herald.

ir the world in their appearance. Take up
some nasturtium roots in the autumn, cut
back the ends and the buds, and in a few
weeks they will begin to bloom again,
giving you the prettiest decoration possible
for your salads.
In fact you might have a regular little
kitchen garden in pots and boxes with very
little trouble, and it will be almost sure to
interest and delight your cook. There are
no end of things that make pretty gar
nishes for a dish. A few fried onions help
out a beefsteak immensely; French chops
look particularly nice if laid in orderly
fashion around q neat hillock of mashed
potatoes; a handful of watercress greatly
helps the look of a roast of beef; c%roquettes
served in a napkin look twice as we'll as it
laid in a dish. A fragrant %geranium leaf
floating in the water of a finger bow looks
fresh and dainty.-Chicago Journal. ,

there will be few seen, except perhaps
Upon some to whom that style is particu-
larly becoming. AT a reception a few even
ings since which was given in honor of f.
debutante the pretty young girl wore a
quaint gown that might have been made
O. hundred years ago if it hadn't been too
fresh and crisp. 1t was of white India
muslin sheer and fine, and had a plain
skirt set with three headed rutfles of grad
uated width. The berthe consisted of
three ruffles Ct white chiffon. The sleeves
were of muslin. Around the short waist,
in fact forming all the waist, there was a
pink ribbon sash tied in a large windmill
bow with short ends. The hair was dressed
a la Josephine and had a tortoise shell
comb set with brilliants for sole ornament,
with the exception of the large pearl han
died white ostrich plume fan which she
carried.
should not neglect mention of an i'm
ported gown for a young lady whose en-.
gagement is just announced. The under
dress is a princess in rich white MORE, and
over that falls a lace gown to the feet
from the berthe, which is made of white
satin and marine blue velvet. Many ladies
do not like the skirt of their gowns falling
from the armpits, and SO they compromise
by having an undergown of some kind and
a fall of lace or tissue over it. There are
many such, and they outline the form
dimly under the lace or tissue, and are
usually taking, though reminding one
somewhat of Il little girls pinafore.
By the side of that dress that cost nj one
knows how much have placed a picture
of a dinner gown made by one of OR own
~dressmakers, and it is particularly elegant
and tasteful. The skirt of silver gray faille
has a velvet rufie in dark green, and above
that three rutfles made of ribbon of pale
pink. The sleeves and belt are of the greer
velvet, and the corsage has Il V shaped
point of pale pink silk, over which is a fal.
of white lace, and there is a fall of lace or
each sleeve at the elbow. The whole dress
is exquisite and somehow seems to suit az
American wom better thar gowns made
abroad and sent over here to be worn by
some one whose personnel is unknown. In

Prevention of Blindness in Children.

The readiest and most efficient way of
meeting and overcoming blindness among
infants is to put a knowledge of the dis
ease in possession of the mothers and
those having the care of newborn chill
dren. The public at large must. be made
aware of the irremediable evils that are
likely to follow from the neglect of what
has been regarded as a simple and innocent
affection. One medium through which
this knowledge can be extensively dissem-
mated is the various charitable organiza-
lions, municipal and private, with which
our country is SO a~bundantly supplied.
Let every society or organization which
has to do especially with women have
printed and widely distributed among its
people cards containing something like
this:
IF the newborn baby's eyes become red
and begin to run matter, take it at once to
a doctor. This condition is dangerous and
may lead to total blindness" a.
BY this means thousands of eyes that
would have been lost will be saved. There
is no need to appeal to the humanitarian
sentiments of readers; a simple statement
of the facts is sufficient, we are sure, to
arouse their interest and enlist their CO
operation in such a work.-Dr. Swan M.
Burnett in Century.
