As patient laborer the negro has no
equal. He never strikes, and does not
object to long days work. the free
negroes of the South are numerous
enough to supply all the demands for
unskilled labor, and they are making
themselves felt in mechanical and man
ufacturing lines, as we'll as in the cot

average negro laborer receives. and,
with cheap house rent and the low cost
of living, he has larger margin than

it is not probable that with the present

When the cashier or teller or any
other employe of bank makes use of
its funds for his own purposes, he is
guilty of embezzlementi in appropriating
money that does not belong to him. If
man having control of the manage
ment of bank and keeping an account
in it himself overdraWS his account. he
is making use of money that belongs to
other depositorS and not to him. The
creditors of bank that failed some time
ago at Fostoria, o., have been making
an investigation of its affairs and condi-
ton. and among other discoveries 1t has
been found that the man who controlled
and practically owned the bank had
overdrawn his own account to the eX-
tent Of nearly $3.50, 600. In other words.
he had to that extent appropriated to
his own use money that belonged, not
to him, but to men who had intrusted
their funds to the bank to be repaid on

the public schools until he should be old
enough to look after himself and has
been teaching him herself in order that
he might not fall too far behind other

Master Freddy came gravely up to his

routine was ended his mother put a few
leading questions:

"Three hundred and sixty-fve days"
"What is day?'
"Twenty-four hours-and an hour is

knitted his downy brow a brief space
while he thought. ''Oh, yes, know,

mother, totally taken aback. "Why,

Beds In the Russian Empire.

Not until recently have the inhabitants
of Russia known the use of beds, except
ing in the case of the luxurious patri-
clans who were able to purchase them.
The peasants slept on the large bake
ovens to be found in nearly every house,
while the soldiers were provided with a
sort of cot without bedding. The mid
die classes and the students, on the other
hand, contented themselves with wrap
ping blanket about them and lying
down near rather primitive looking
stoves.
Not SO long ago beds were introduced
into the boarding schools which abound
IN that empire, and now the use of beds
has become rather general. AS is usual
in this absolute monarchy, the introduc-
ton of these articles of comfort had to
be brought about by special edict from
the czar of all the Russias, and as mat
ter Of course the servile schoolboys and
others who have been allowed to use
them by royal behest naturally look
upon his highness as a great benefactor.
They might well do so, for never before
have the babies even known the exist
ence of cradles, cribs or cots.-House

The EIenhant,s Sense.

Why an elephant should be afraid of
mouse is a mystery. Some have
doubted the generosity of the elephant
because of his aversion to small animals.
but none can doubt his intelligence.
Button, notwithstanding his idea of the
mere mechanism of animals, spoke of
the elephant as at the same time mir
acle of intelligence and a monster of
matter" Ernest Menault happily re-
ferred to him as the animal that carried
his nose in his hand. Hence the mar
yelous intelligence of his trunk. The
senses of touch and smell cooperate.
The nerves which extend through his
trunk are so numerous that they equal
in number all those distributed over the
rest of the body. The elephant can keep
perfect time to music. He has the ear
perfectly organized, and the hearing is
extremely fine. The eye of the elephant
is distinguished from that of other ami
mails by the pathetic expression of senti-
ment. Take him all in all, naturalists
agree that he is the most intelligent of
animals. And why should he be afraid
of a mouse?-New York Tribune.

A HOtal Beat

LET me look at the letters in the B
box, please" said man to the clerk in
I one of the up town hotels this morning.
The elegantly attired gentleman behind
the marble bestowed stony stare upon
the other individual and in his most icy
tones demanded:
What name, sir2"
"Brown-Alfred Brown"
1--WE have no mail here for you, sir" Z"
said the clerk in accents that froze into
icicles as the words dropped from his
lips. 'You will probably find it at the
postoffice."
''This set of bores," said the clerk, sis
the worst that beset US. The men who
lounge in our easy chairs, swipe our sta
tionery and make themselves generally
at home in the lobby are nothing COM
pared to the fellow who will have his
mail sent in the care of the hotel of which
he is not and has never been a guest.
The public have no idea what terrible
nuisance and how much time is con-
sumed in dealing with these individuals.
As soon as we get onto their racket we
send the letters back to the postof1ce.
Many men will take room for day or
night at hotel and then go to a board
ing or lodging house, just for the pur-
pose of having their mail sent in our care
and so they can afterward use our sta
tionery. We quickly tumble to them
and send their mail back to the postof-
flee, and in nine cases out of ten this will
freeze them out. ut."-Washington Star.

The Rockies From Denver.

It surprised me to discover that Den
yer was a city of the plains. There is
nothing in the appearance of the plains
to lead one to suppose that they tilt up
like toboggan slide, as they do, or that
Denver is mile above the sea level, as
it is. But part of it's enormous good
fortune is that although it is plain city
1t has the mountains for near neighbors
"a long peaked and scalloped line of
purple or pink or blue or snowclad green,
according to when they are viewed.
There are 200 miles or more of the Rock
les in sight In clear weather. As there
are but 30 cloudy days in the year, and
as these mountains elevate and inspire
even the dullest souls, think we can
forget that it is city of the plains and
ever associate it with the mountains
hereafter.-Julian Ralph in Harper's.

An Advantage Men Have.

| The longer live the more firmly con.
vinced l sm that men have the advan-
tage of women in everything in life, and
We shall never be their equals in the
struggle till we can have many more of
their privileges than custom is willing
| to grant US now. For instance, if a man
wants new spring suit he simply goes
to see his tailor-the same tailor he has
patronized for years. The tailor shows
him one line of cloth. The happy man
gives quick but comprehensive look at
the goods, selects that which suits his
taste from the group of materials that
suits his pocket, and the deed is done.
He relies on his tailor's judgment as to
whether the coat shall be sack, cutaway
or frock, and so walks off.
1t never occurs to a man to get sam
pies of the goods and then run around to
every other tailor shop in town to see if he
can't get bargain or little bit cheaper
material that would ''look just as welL"
1t never occurs to a man to talk it
over" with every male friend, to discuss
the new cut in trousers and whether
such color would be becoming to him.
He relies on his tailor to furnish not only
a reasonably good style to his suit, but
also one that is suited to his customers
individuality.
Imagine man getting on street car
and meeting two men friends and pro-
duclng lot of samples, saying: "Ohl
Charley, / want to show you some sam
pies | got of nv new coat Now. don't
you think I'm too dark to wear that
color? But it's so cheap" etc., etc.,
while Charley and Francis gave their
opinions and inspected the samples.

scene completely: "Yes, but that's old.

WEARING THE TARTAN AND PLAID.
An Interesting Phase of Scottish Charac-

| an interesting Phase of Scottish CharaN
ter Brought Out In Debate
There was an interesting debate in tbs
English house of commons a few DAYS
ago touching what is probably, next tc
the Roman toga, the most famous article
of clothing that has ever been worn by
man. 1t arose out of plan to consoli-
date the killed regiment known as the
| Seventy-ninth or "Cameronian High
| landers" with the Scots Grenadier
Guards, axregiment which has nothing
Scotch about it beyond the fact that Scott
was the name of its first colonel.
This plan was no sooner noised abroad
than it excited in Scotland the deepest
indignation, being considered deliberate
attempt to blot from existence one of the
renowned highland regiments which in
kilt and tartan have, under the Brit
ish flag, filled the world with Scottish
glory. 1t is now nearly century and a
half since these regiments were raised,
and for fully century they were, if not
highland, really Scotch regiments. As
the supply of real highlanders began to
run low, either through emigration or
dislike of soldering, the lowlanders be-
gan to feel themselves highlanders under
the magic influence of Scott's novels.
Those only who remember the account
which Macaulay gives of the loathing
with which the lowland Scotch in the
eighteenth century looked on the high
land garb and highland manners and
customs will be able to appreciate the
force of the spell bywhich Scott succeed
ed, early in the nineteenth century, in
disposing nearly every Scotchman to the
notion that the kilt, the tartan, the phila-
beg and blue bonnet were his original
national raiment. in which he looked his
best and which nothing but the advance
of gross and material civilization COM
PEELED him to lay aside.
The fancy for the highlands with
which Victoria and Prince Albert were
seized in their early married life COM
pleted the conquest which the Wizard of
the North had begun and converted
nearly all male Scots into true high
landers to whom trousers or "breeks'
were genuine incumbrance. Every

and salmon ,illing, put on the kilt and

was 80 taken with the dress that she even
insisted on putting her German sons-in-
law and grandsons-in-law into it in the
summer and autumn. regardless of the
danger to their hochgeboren knees.

are gamekeepers, gillies. guides and tour

question Of the Cameronian Highlanders
In the house of commons the other day
said, "An honorable and gallant gentle
man, Scotchman and a member of a
great clan family, speaking on this sub
ject 10 years ago, said that for his part
he had never yet seen in Scotland a
Scotchman wearing kilt unless he was
paid to do 30 by an Englishman. Ma
