TIE NEGRO IN HOT WEATHER
lie Likes the Heat on His Head, Hut
he T-ics TO Keep His HceIs
Cool.

II has often been said that the capao-
lily of the negro race for enduring heat
has never been fully tested. An acct
dent related by dairyman living on
The outskirts Of the CITY seems TO bear
out this assertion. He has a young
negro boy Who looks after the cattle
and does chores around the place The
only effect that the heat produces in his
case is 4 desire to slulnber. The dairy
man. had a young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife sent "Carlina" out
10 turn the calf loose, so that he could
seek shady spot. After waiting an
hour for his return the housewife went
to the barnyard to investigate. There
she found both boy and calf curled up
III the hot and sitting barnyard- The
calf was dead from the effects Of the
sun, but the boy was slumberng peace
fully by its side. says the Jacksonville
(Fla.) Times-Union.
While a negro can stand any amount
OF heat on his head. he loves to cool his
heels. II is a common sight in the Win
ter to see negro boy on q frosty morn
ing with hs.s head bundled up to keep
out the cois!, and at the same time walk
ing unconcernedly along the frosty
ground in his bare feet One of the hot
test places in the city OH hot Gay is at
the lumber wharvcs Of the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsula~railroad. When the
meE knock off for noon they Frequently
take nap With their faces upturnctl to
the rays of the blazing sun; al the same
Tune they get their feet under the shad-
CIV of some friendly lumber pile.

PAY FOR A SPOT.
a Mothers Ingenious Little Idea for
Teaching Children to
Re Neat.

Two mothers Of large families were
discussing domestic matters one day,
and the younger Of the two spoke with
sigh OF the way in which her table
cloths were spotted through the daily
mishaps of her two boys.
Perhaps you'd like to know how I
have helped my boys to be careful! at
the table, said the older woman; 1T
is the plan on which my mother
brought me up, and I've never found
better.
The rule in our family" she pro
ceeded, when urged by her friend to eN-
plain her method, lis this: Any one
who makes a spot on the tablecloth
must cover it with piece Of money,
and the piece must be large enough to
hide the stain entirely; no rims are al
lowed! The children have to provide
the coins out Of their own pocket
money. This rule applies to their ia
Their and me as well as to them The
sum goes to buy new table linen.
The first year I tried the plan we
had money enough for three handsome
tab!ecloths, but since then there has
been less and less. This is the fourth
year, and although none of my boys has
yet reached his fifteenth birthday, and
they are by no means unusually deft in
their management Of knives, forks and
spoons, they have learned to serve them
selves and others SO we'll that ] am in

Independent Contemporaries.

We said the other day that the
press of Virginia was never more in
dependent, never more defiant of the
political machine than it is today.
We repeat that assertion, having just
finished reading the weekly papers of
the current issue.
The Brunswick Gazette reminds
the political bosses that "there are
some things higher and holier than
so-called party regularity"
The Louisa News, which was one
of the most ardent advocates of the
doctrines of the Chicago platform in
1896, says "the people should pass
judgment of diSapproval upon any
so-called Democratic organization
that does not duly and truly carry
out their will" Every sort of stuff, -
it adds, sis not Democracy" In
short, the Louisa News is now fight
ing the machine.
The Staunton Daily News boasts
that it wears no party's collar, and
calls attention to the interesting fact
that its nelghbor, the Staunton Ar
gus, which in lS96 denounced bolt
ing, is now encouraging the boilers
in Augusta county. if it has not in
deed become the bolter's organ.
The fredericksburg Free Lance,
one Of the eblest aud most progress
siye newspapers in Virginia, makes
bold the opinion that the great need
in Virginia today is respectable
minority party.
The South Boston News SAYS that
there is no interest whatever among
the people OF Halifax in the campaign
that is now going on. The reason for
this indifference, it says, is that the
people have been thoroughly disgust
ed with machine methods, by which
the voice Of the people is stiiled.-
