spent three weeks in Washington
recently and had better opportunity
to study Afro-American contemporary
opinion than is possible under the most
favorable conditions in New York or
Boston, or any of the large cities of the
| republic. Being the seat of Govern
ment, more Afro-Americans ofreputa-
ton, local and other, reside perma-
nently in Washington than in anv
other city; and too, at one time or
another during the year, nearly every
prominent Afro-American in the
Southern States may be met with in
Washington. Those who think that
prominent men of this character are
few In nu nber have very poor idea
OF the tremendous changes which
have taken place in Afro o-American
development in the past thirty years.
There was a time when Frederick
Douglass stood out single and alone
as the leader of the Afro-American
people.
1t was of absorbing in terest to me
n lIct ctar, 30 T.
leadership, by William Calvin Chase,
the editor of the Washington BEE, at
the Congressional Literary, when with
cool impudence he brushed aside all
leaders OF his race who have made
regulations in many walks of life, and
declared that there were no leaders of
his race, and the only man in the situa
ton who is regarded as such, Booker
{. Washington of Alabama, was put
forward and sustained by white men
and not by black men. 1t was inter
esting and pathetic, on the principle
that none are so blind as those who
will not see. And the discussion of
the paper was along the same low
level, an apparent inability to grasp
the meaning of leadership or to recog-
nize leader when visible to the naked
eye. Such men spoke as Ex-Governor
P. B. S. Pinchback of louisiana, Con-
gresham George H. White of North
Carolina, ex-State Senator Tohn P.
Green of Ohio, Col. William A.
Pledger of Georgia, and many others
OF similar reputation. None of these
men spoke word of rebuke of the
essayist for the peculiarly unfair posi-
ton he took toward Booker T. Wash
lngton; that was left to the writer
thereof, who believes in rendering I'm.
to Caesar the things that are Caesar. s
and who is not haunted by dreams of
leadership, nor anything else, on his
own account.
t. Thomas Fortune.
From the letter of Editor Fortune
in the Boston, Mass } Daily Trans
crypt, he would impress one with the |
idea that the distinguished men pre-
sent who heard the paper of the ed
tor of the BEE, entitled "0ur new
leadership" could not under
stand the word leader" and |
hat he alone was the apostle and
philosopher and the nestor of rea.

THE HEALTHY MAN.
aualitie. Which, According to q
Medical J0arnal, Constitute q
Perfect individual.

One of our medical contemporaries,
the Texas Medical News, thus sums up
the qualities which constitute a per-
fectly healthy man. He should have a
strong, healthy heart; one not weak
from disuse or the excessive use Of to-
bacco, alcohol or other causes; lungs
well developed and that expand
rhythmically with ample breathing
space for health and a surplus for work
or disease; muscles well rounded and
elastic, made hard and strong by use
and carrying, like the camel's hump, re-
serve energy for trying journeys;
nerves, natures electric wires properly
insulated and connected, bringing all
the various organs of the body into one
perfect system, and all under the con-
troll of brain of just proportions, well
balanced and convoluted, not soft from
disuse or destroyed for the need of rest;
educated for the high duties it was in
tended to perform, not only to stand
guard over and protect the health and
life of the individual, but at the same
time to furnish feeling and thought and
pleasure for the human being. All of
these organs, when properly construct
ed ard adjusted and perfect in every de-
tail, 60 to make up healthy individual
and one possessing within himself
power of resistance not easily overcome
by disease-produciug organisms.

SO often the case with houses of this

floors are laid in paint. All door jambs
are rabbeted plank, with 3-inch grounds
and 5h reeded casing, with foot and
head blocks. Panels are formed un-
der the windows in each story of the
house, and the base in all parts matches
the casing. The closets are shelved and
hooked in the usual manner. The doors
are seasoned pine, paneled and nodded,
the outside doors being 1A inches thick,
and the inside doors 1ss inches thick.
The front door is heavily nodded and
has heavy butts, lock with night latch
and bolts. All others doors have suit
able butts and mortise locks; sash fas-
Jennings to all windows.
All outside work usually painted has
two coats best paint; inside filled and

Furn,.he. Valuable SCOT,

The flame of acetylene gas has been
found to furnish a SCOT which is es-
pecially valuable in the color industry.
When such gas is burned with a smok-
ing fame the result is the production Of
three or four times as great a quantity
of SCOT as is the case with mineral oils.
Moreover, it is very light in weight
and exhibits an absolutely black color
without tinge of brown and has none
of the tarry admixtures or other sub
stances that Enthusiastically appear
IN lampblack. The substance is like
wise noted for being very bulky and is
found to be admirably adapted for In
dia ink and the colors of fine inks for
such photographic work as requires q
positive black. It is now being manu-
featured in France by patented proc
ess, almost absolute purity of color and
texture being obtained at a compara-
lively small cost.

Climate and Consumption.

I am in favor of treating tuberculous
patients near their homes and in the
same O. nearly the same climate as that
in which they will have to live and
work after their restoration to health.
My reasons for advocating such princi-
pies are founded on the experiences of
all modern phthisio-therapeutists who
have demonstrated that the hygienic
and dietetic treatment in special sani-
tariums is feasible and successful in
nearly all climates.
know from personal observation
that cures OF pulmonary tuberculosis
effected in u ordinary home climates,
which are on the average not considered
as especially favorable to this class of
sufferers, have been more lasting and
more assured than cures obtained in
more genial climes.
And. with all due Difference to the
opinions Of others, l do not believe
there exists any climate which has a
special curative quality for any form Of
pulmonary tuberculosis. Climate can
only BIO considered nv q more or less
valuable adjuvant In the treatment O.
