1t is novel experience to find manu-
facturers pleased that inquiries for their
products are diminishing. For long
time they were troubled because their
business was too light, buyers being in
clined to take rests which were unpleas-
antly frequent or disagreeably protracted.
They almost despaired that the day
would ever come again when they would
be driven to their full capacity and would
feel Indifferent toward buyers. But so
many cases of this kind are now develop.
ing that they are becoming a matter of
comment in market reports. Manufac-
turers feel that customers who favored
them with trade during the long business
depression are entitled to considerable
treatment when activity sets in and the
demand is squarely up with the supply.
But their old customers are so far exceed
ing past requirements, and SO much new
trade has developed that in many lines
not enough can he turned out to go ronnd.
The scarcity thus causes anxiety for the
future among consumers, and the danger
was fast becoming imminent that orders
for future delivery would be placed SO far
ahead as to make prices rise much nigh
er than their present high level Such n
contingency is earnestly deprecated by all
manufacturers of experience The effects
of very high prices are too demoralizing.
Hence, period of comparative quiet Ia
welcomed as affording an opportunity TO
work of accum ulated orders and put fac
tories in shape to handle new business
with more satisfaction to consumers.

There was some talk awhile ago of

In the course Of his speech in New
York, Senator Frye, speaking of the FIJI
ipinos, said:
We will give them good government,
relief from burdensome taxation, ample
security in all their civil and religious
rights. We will build highways, con-
struot railroads, erect schoolhouses and
churches. We will allow them to partici-
pate in government so far and SO fast as
we may lind them capable. We will give
employment TO labor and good wages to
the laborer. We will arouse In them an
ambition to become good citizens, compe-
tent to manage their own local affairs
and interests We will make 1t possible
for them, some time in the future,s to
form stable republican government,
capable Of making treaties, enforcing
their rights under them and observing
their obligations.
1t is hoped that Senator Frye's predio-
tlon will lie fulfilled, but there is reason
70 doubt. Thirty years ago we urder-
took to confer upon the negro in this
country political rights and protect him
in the exercise Of them. Today the great
majority of colored men enjoy no more
political rights than they did in state of
slavery. Furthermore we undertook to
guarantee to them equality before the
law But today the courts at the South
are practically closed to them. The only
law that they have much of any expert
enoe with is mob law. They are de-
prived of their lives without due process
of law, indeed without any process,
whatever, and the national government is
powerless. to protect them. After falling

sanguine of success in the Philippines?

a political speech than for the crime OF

there seems to be no great amount OF
Indignation on the part Of even the best
citizens over the murder OF a negro, no
matter how slight the provocation. A

nounced by the newspapers, but 1t is very
seldom that white man in indicted for
participation in q negro lynching, and
when one is, he Is certain to escape. This
would not be so IL there were a strong

tainly not when the victim had been gull

deal of agitation over these lynchings
for several years past, but 1t does not APP
pear that things have improved material
ly II at all. The general government
has no power to put an end TO the bust
ness, and the state government no dispo-
sition to. apparently. So far a. we can
see lynchings are likely to go on until the
negro, goaded to desperation, under
takes TO retaliate, when wholesale
slaughter OF both white and blacks is
likely to take place. But for the nearo's
timidity and his indisposition to fight
there, would have been general massacres
long before this.

THE HOME.
SOUR MILK AND SODA.

The housewives who always use sweet
milk and baking-powder In articles
where suchingredients or their equivalents
are called for, little guess the superior
results which may be obtaind from the
use of sour milk or buttermilK and soda.
If sour milk is used, it must be freshly
soure1, not stale; hence, the best time TO
use it is in the summertime. Butter
milk is preferable all the year round.
Biscuits. griddle-cakes, waffles. corn
breads, mullins. gems, ginger breads,
cookies, etc., are all of them more tender,
delicate, and probably more wholesome
(since che majority of baking powders are
adulterated) if they are made of butter
milk and soda. A general rule is one
level teaspoonful of soda to one pint Of
buttermils or freshly soured milk. The
soda must be first pulverized by rubbing
with a knife on the table or bread board,
then added to the flour. to be sifted with
it. 1t is even we'll to sift the flour, soda
and salt together two or three times to
insure an even blending. In "a very short
time one learns to guage the soda exactly
to the acility of the milk to be used.
Baking powder cannot give the best re-
suits in the class OF articles enumerated
above
1t requires little skill or experience to
use SODA with nicely, but it is worth
while to acquire such skill; indeed there
is scarcely an item in culinary processes
which better repays one for intelligent
experimenting The bicarbonate of soda
used today is very different article from
the carbonate of soda or saleratus with
which careless cooks made spotted bis
cults in our grandmothers' time Used
with an acid, as buttermilk, it is as scieu-
ti1cally wholesome as any article EN-
ployed as an adjunct &c cookery. In many
instances baking powder cannot give as
good results as soda.
1t is scarcely possible to give an abso-
lutely exact rule announcements for soda,
as brands differ somewhat in strength,
and milk varies in degrees of actdity.
But general rule Is one level teaspoon
full of soda TO one pint Of sour milk. Be
sure TO pulverize the soda before measur-
ing. -Woman's Home Companion.

In the hallway of Philadelphia doc
tors house stands fine example of a
grandfather's clock, the possession Of
which the medical man owes entirely to
pinch of snuff Some years ago the
doctor in question set his heart upon such
n timepiece and devoted two Of his vaea-
tions to clock hunting. He visited many
New England farmhouses without sue
cess.
He was about to return home disconso-
late when he was called into consultation
over patient dying Of quinsy. The re-
sources of medicine had been exhausted
when the Quaker City doctor bethought
himself of an old snuffbox he had picked
up during his wanderings In which still
fingered a modicum of snuff. pungent as
of yore. With this powdered tobacco the
doctor assniled the nostrils of the sick
man, who, sneezing violently, broke the
abscess in his throat that was choking
him to death. Stimulants were admins
tered, and the sick man recovered.
The Philadelphia doctor left the place
the morning after this remarkable opera
tion, but he had not been home weeL
before the grateful New Englander sent
him n grandfather's clock, accompanied
by card upon which was written, "This
clock, which struck the hour of my birth,
would have also marked the hour of my
death. IL your skill and knowledge had
not staid the hand of the Destroyer

Perhaps no class of persons meet with
so much or SO severe criticism as teach
ers. Much Of this criticism Is unjust and
exists solely because parents and others
listen to unverifed reports and do moth
ing to acquaint themselves with the real
inner workings of the schoolroom. Any
person experienced with children knows
that these reports, even when absolutely
truthful from their point of view, cannot
be relied upon.
Again, any one who has had the train
ing of children has experienced the NOR.
tifying fact that even the best trained
children sometimes woefully lapse from
their knowledge OF good manners and
courtesy when away from home among
other children. Some mothers will not
tolerate any correction of their children s
manners by the teacher, taking 1t as a
direct insult to their home training, when
it is but the result of childish needless
ness or self will.
No greater injury can be done a teach
er than to condemn her at home In pres
ence of her pupils. There are many
they usually allude to teacher as a
schoolmarm-whop persist In believing and
encouraging that schoolteacher is
never to be regarded with other than sus-
picion.- Reinette Lovewell In Woman's

LEGISLATURE
Will be Asked to In
crease Tax Levy
For Purpose Of Erecting Charity Home
In Akron-Annual Report.

In Akron-Annual Report.
The erection of a new Charity
Home was the subject of much dis
cussion at special meeting of the
Union Charity association Tuesday
afternoon.
The association owns o lot on South
High st. near Market and IL present
plans do no miscarry, q 2o,OOO brick
building will be erected.
Hon. ]. Park Alexander explained
to the members the scheme of unit
ing all charities in the city and the
necessity of central home for all.
1t YVES decided to select committee
of which Senator Alexander is to be
the chairman, the other members to
be chosen later, to draft bill and
secure its passage in Legislature.
The idea is to levy tax upon all
property holders. A levy of seven
tenths of mill will cover the ex-
pense.
With the completion of the new
home, the Industrial School will
have increased facilities and other
features could bo added to the work.
One of these new departures would
probably be a night-school, where
young women, who work in shops,
could be taught the fundamental
principles of housekeeping and
homemaking.
The proposed plan was favored by
all present. Mr.. Frank Fiebeger
Mr.. F. G. Stipe, Rev. A. B. Church,
Mrs. d. P. Wheeler, Mrs. A. Adam
son and others all spoke in its favor.
A letter was read from Mrs. J. w.
Little, thanking the association for
the kindness shown in her late be-
reavement.
General Secretary Church is in his
Office every day from 8: 80 am. until
11:30 a. m. The annual report will
soon be issued and will show the
association to be in good standing.
