The Number Seven.

The most intelligent ritualists are agreed in common with the Roman Catholic church that there are seven saeraments. How they came to fix on the exact number of seven is not so well known, nor do they seem to be quite sure themselves Peter Lombard and St. Thomas did not invent the sanctity of the number seven, but only inherited it. When once the assump- tion had been made that numbers had some hidden meaning and when the assumption had been consecrated by religious tradition. it is ea~- to see how scribes and Pharisees buiIded on it an imposing but shadowy house of cards. Thus. when seven had been received as the perfect number, it was inevitable that the six gifts of the spir- it named by Isaiah should be corrected into seven; that seven mortal sins should be classified to be set straight by seven saeraments. But what is more to our present purpose is to in quire how the assumption came to be made. The answer to this question may be given at once. The sacFedness of seven rests on the regard paid, in the oldest astronomical system known to us, to the seven planets-the sun, moon Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

The Rise of Rnssia.

Ruric, Varangian chief, appears to have been the first to establish a monarchicaI government in Russia, about the year 862. His descendants ruled amid great vicissitudes till 1898. In that year Feodor L, the last of the race of Ruric, was murdered. Michael Fedorovitz of the house of Romanon accepted the throne in 1913 In 1882 Peter the Great began his reign and the progress of the Russian power under him and Catherine H. is un- equaled for rapidity in the history of she world

DESTINY OF THE NEGRO.
sker T. Washington Tells His Ides
 of If

of It.
 Booker T. Washington, principal ot the Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and h. dustrial institute, addressed the League for Political Education recently on the Hnbject of Race Problems, '' says the New York Times. He said that the so- lution of the race problem might be fnmmed up in the statement that in Proportion as the negroes were i'm proved along educational, industrial and moral lines in that same propor- lion would the evils affecting the race be eliminated.
 You cannot, however" said the speakeP, bring about these necessary Reforms in day or by any short cut. II is a matter of time and patience. Bring proper influence to bear upon Mhe negro, make his environments con genial and uplifting, work on him not so much directly as unconsciously. and the matter will in time solve itself. For, let me say that we are not going to stay here in order to help you, our . government and our country. <"
 The speaker then referred to the movement some years ago which sought to solve the race problem by transporting negroes to Liberia. But that won't solve it. the speaker add ed Those people who thought that sending 600 black men to Liberia would be the beginning of a satisfae- tory ending of the race problem for got that on the very morning that those negroes were transported 600 or more black babies were born Nor will the problem be solved by putting 43he blacks in any territory in the west. For first, you would have to put up wall about the territory to keep the negroes in, and then you would have to put up another wall to keep the white men out No, there is a better and higher solution of the difficulty than that. The negroes ought to be taught to do as good work as the white man in agriculture and in all industrial lines. The conditions with which they are surrounded should be studied care fully. They should be taught the dig nity. the beauty and the ciyilizing pow CT of labor. and that there is no dis grace in any kind of work. Above all, they should be educated wherever and as fully as it is possible, and then their ignorance would not be made pretext for keeping them down.
 Let me remind you that there are nearly 10.000,000 of us, and that wher- ever our life touches yours we either help or hurt you. There can be no separation of our destinies. Let us then settle the problem in a sensible and logical manner. Let Us, in short, make the negro a man so that he can do as much work as white man and meet him with full confidence in a business way. Make him useful and an important member of the commun- ny in which he lives, and then. be- lieve me, he will work out his OWE salvation

A GREAT OCCASION.
When President Consulted with
 President.

Vice-President.
 Vice-P President Stevenson used to tell a story which John c. Breckenridge had told him to illustrate the tradi- tionai relations between the president and the man whose principal business it is to wait for the possible death of the president in order that he may take the presidents chair, and the New York Mail and Express thus gives cur rency to it. Breckenridge said that Buchanan never consulted him about any important matter, although as a Kentuekian, having the confidence of most of the southern leaders, he felt that his advice might at times have been valuable to the president In the early fall of 1860, when Buchanan's term was nearing an end, amid the gathering clouds of war, Vice-President Breckenridge received an urgent sum- mons to the White House. He re- sponded at once, thinking that at last the president wanted his advice on the momentous questions then pending When he arrived he was shown into the presidents room, and Mir Buchaa- an. who was alone, called his private secretary and instructed him to see that they were not disturbed during the important conference which was to follow. When the private secretary had withdrawn the president unlocked the private drawer in his desk. took out a manuscript, sat down with great solemnity and said to Vice President Breckenridge in his most impressive manner: T want to read you the draft of my Thanksgiving day proclamation and to get your opinion of it." The vice president controlled his facial muscles, listened respectfully and se- riously, made some complimentary re- marks about the important document, and. with his customary courtesy, bowed and smiled his way out from the only interview to which he was ever invited by President Buchanan.

Americans Abroad Frequently Pay Too
 Much for Services.

An American recently arrived in London from a southern city, and be- ing in haste to continue his journey to Paris, hired a cabman to take him on one of his errands. Handing the man two shilling piece, he directed him to a certain number in New Bond street. After seating himself in the cab, the passenger waited for several minutes. expecting the horse to start. At last he left the cab and found the driver on the box inspectin the coin, which was double the usual fare. What is the matter?a asked the in- dignant traveller This seems to be very small coin for so long distance" was the surly response. The Ameri- can smiled grimly and remarked that the cabman could drive him at once to Scotland Yard. As this is the head quarters of the police, the driver per ceived that the American was not a man to be swindled. HI drive you to New Bond street, he remarked promptly, if you will get in, sir. !" Wait a moment said the American. T want you to look me over carefully. Now tell me" he continued, what it was in my appearance that led you to think me an idiot. Was it my hat or my collar, or the cut of my oyercoat? l have already paid you double fare for the distance l have asked you to go, but I'll give you as much more if you will tell me wha, there is in my gen. eral makeup that encouraged you to believe that I could be fool enough to allow you to cheat me The cabman by this time looked sheepish and un- comfortable. sI took you for an Am eriean, sir" he said and thought l could work another shilling out of you, Here is one of the shiIIings you gave me and am ready to drivt you to New l Bond street. The American had made two mistakes. He ought not to have paid double fare, and he ought not 10 have paid in advance. By violating the ordinary rules observed by people who hire London cabs he encouraged the cabman to sWindle him. The most l judicious course for a traveller in 8 1 foreign country is to learn the customs of the people in it, and not throw away money by overpaying cabmen and tip ping servants too generously Youth g l Companion

Diver with a Record.

The greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of South America, when diver named Hooper made seven descents to 6 depth of over 200 feet, remaining at one time forty-two minutes under the water An authority states that the greatest depth to which a man has been known to descend does not exceed 220 feet, which is equivalent to pres- sure of eighty-eight and one-half pounds to the square inch.

THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.

The City Board of Health met last
evening and took up the important
matter of some Improvement in the
ability of the municipality to cope with
the constantly increasing amount of
garbage and night soil.
1t will be recollected that at former
meeting there was proposition before
the board to let a contract to the r. X.
Giffin Reduction Company, on basis
OF $4,000 per year, the city to deliver
the refuse at the proposed new plant
as at present to the crematory, give
the company a free site on the hillside
and free gas and water. At a second
meeting this action was rescinded, and
the solicitor was instructed to draw an
ordinance appropriating $4,000 for the
repair and enlargement of the present
furnace.
Last evening representatives of the
Reduction Company were again pres
ent, and submitted a new proposition,
the effect of which was that the COM
pany would be willing to so modify its
contract as to erect plant and reduce
the city refuse at the actual expense for
labor at the crematory now upon the
city. This amounts to 500 per month
or $1,000 per annum. The amended Of
fer was a material reduction upon the
one first made, and as it will, in ad-
ditIon, save the Guy the $4,000 proposed
to be expended upon the present fur
mace, the committee thought well of
ii, rescinded its former action, and will
recommend the new proposition to
Council for adoption.
In this connection it may be stated
that there may be resolution offered
at this evenings meeting by Mr.. Miller
proving that the city shall erect a
reduction plant Of it's own. and operate
the same for whatever profit there may
be in it, and if this is done, prolonged
discussion may ensue, with possibility
that final action may go over until
another time

The supply wagon at the Atlantic En-

The chemical attachment at the

would also be useful for hauling. I
wish to call your attention to the loca-
