BookerT. Washington, without qucs-
ton the brightest negro in the country
to-day, said in his address in Atlanta
last week that he could sec no differ
ence between that slavery which COM
PEELED man to. work for nothing and
that which denied him the right to
work for something. Those unctlous
northerners who prate about the stain
of slavery, yet who lynch negroes who
come into honest competition with
them, should ponder awhile on this
philosophic utterance. In fact, there
is much food for thought throughout
his entire address. His recommends
ton that negroes avail themselves OF
every opportunity to become better
citizens by selecting a specific trade
and studying it to proficiency is pre-
cisely in the line Of sure progress and
development. If his labors are more
evenly distributed in the workshops.
the mills, the mines, the fields, con-
struction, &C., one industry is not SO
easily pyramided by sudden influx OF
labor, and there will be none to deny
him the right to follow his legitimate
trade, If the State recognizes the ne
gro as a permanent citizen; one who
will have to live with us and share our
fortunes, even for the next generation,
it behoovcs her to put such manual
training into his hands as will fit and
equip him for branching out into other
fields and learning q trade. The little
smattering of "book rarnin'a given
them is a decided disadvantage. ifthc
same sum is spent toward teaching
them something really useful, we will
make better class of citizens and take
q long stride in the direction OF the
solution of the race problem. 1t IS
better and cheaper. rs Mr.. Washington
saws, in yicw Of the fact that every
idle negro has to be kept up directly
or indirectly by the white people,
for the State to give its money TO
the erection of schools OF industry
for the idle negroes than to sup

or with tax money after they become

He Worked the Grocer,

A true story Of a dog found guilty
Of obtaining goods under false pre-.
lenses has been recently told. The
animal Is very fond Of crackers. and
has been taught by his owner to 60
after them himself, carrying a written
order in his mouth. Day after day he
appeared at the grocer's, bringing his
masters orders for crackers until the
clerks became careless about reading
the document. One day the man came
in and complained that he had been
charged for much more crackers than
he had ordered. There was quite a
dispute over it, and the next time the
dog came in the grocer took the trouble
to look at the paper. 1t was blank;
and further investigation showed that
whenever the dog felt a craving for
crackers he hunted up a piece Of paper
and trotted off to the grocery store.-

and oldest animal that was ever pet
ted by any man.
This pet Is a sperm whale, nearly 20
feet long. He came through the mar

which Is walled In by q coral reef,
when quite small, and remained until
he had grown so large that he could
not get out If he wanted to.

Beetles Bore Into Corn Plants.

In some parts of Kansas last year
during June a beetle with a strong bill
or proboscis was found boring into and
eating young growing corn just below
the surface of the ground. The same
species is destructive to corn in the low.
lands Of the southern states and has
been recorded from New Jersey and
Canada. Noting these facts in the Kan
sas Farmer, Percy J. Parrot Of the
Agricultural college advises: If, after
an attack by the beetles, the corn should
be seen to wilt and die, a number of
stalks should be opened and examined.
If larvss, or worms, are found in them,
the remaining infested stalks should be
rooted up and destroyed. In the fall
after the corn is cut all the stumps
should he rooted up and burned in or
der to destroy all pupm. IF ar attack
by the beetles is anticipated, much Of
the young corn could doubtless be saved
by an application Of paris green or Ion
don purple. Should this insect be found
to be common in the coarse grasses in
swampy or moist tracts, such places
should be drained and cultivated.

In my opinion, the secret Of money

to the rule Of not overworking. Too
much work Is worse than no work at
all. 1t undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally and phys
