equal to tho angle 6. The problem is to hnd

that their attempts 10 do mems work are met

case, what possible reason can Mr.. Hilson give
for his expression that they ARE taking the
means Of livelihood out OF the hands OF men in
nearly everything" There are a number OF men
who feel q little bitter c Wards the opposite sex,
and Mr.. II. Is probably among them. All men Of
his class are ''phyicaily" strong. but a good. capa-

problem. 1t leaves the depot. runs for one hour.
breaks down for one hour, and resumes at three
ffths speed. and arrives three hours late; but
had 1t run the other nifty miles before the acci-
dent occurred. then twenty minutes Of that time
would have been saved, which is the key to the
solution. suppose. then, that after the accident
tina train had run fifty miles at its former speed,
II would have been at that mark, instead of
thirty miles. which is the distance covered at
speed. and twenty minutes being the
saving Of time that would have been made on the
fifty miles. then it follows that at the reduced rate
the remaining twenty miles had to be done In
twenty minutes. Now, two hours being the time
lost. not including the hour for the accident,
shown that the distance covered at three-hfths
speed was 800 miles in 600 minutes. or nve hours,
which, with one hour for time OF the accident and
one hour for run before. gives the time for the
journey, seven hours; and, as the speed OF the
train before the accident was t~wo-ffths greater,
then 1t ran 100 miles In an hour. which. added
to 900. gives 400. Am / right! The speed

The Ghosts of Negroes Are Black.

10 ihc Eui'or'
The ghosts Of negroes are black. Why should
they not be! A ghost Is one thing and the
spirit another. There are ghosts OF living men as
well as dead. A ghost is a transient materialized
form. and the actual body is merely a more per-
manent form, The spirit behiad this form Ia
neither black. white nor green. It Is the thing
that has been. is and Will be the Cosito ergo sum
OF Descartes. All material manifestations are

tons. whether actual bodies of ghosts are con-
cerned. are subjective experience. This Is ac-
