about Majors Cement.
The mutitudes who use this standard arti.
Gle know that IL Is many hundred per cent
better than any other cement, for which sim.

MIR. Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us
that one OF the elements OF his cement costs
while large share Of the sO-CHlled ccments
and liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than siXteen-cent glue, dissolved in
water or citric acid, and In some cases,
altered slightly In color and OdOr by the
addition Of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement Tetail- at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when "A dealer

larger profit
The profit on Majors cement r. as much

cement. And this H. doubly true In view OF
the fact mat each dealer gets his share Of
the benefit of Mr. Majors advertising, which
amounts 20 over $500 month, throughout
the country. Established in 1876.

T|.e cake walk proper had It's origin
among the French negroes of Louisi-l
ana more than century ago, says the
New orleans Times-Democrat. There
is little doubt that II IL an offshoot of
some OF the old French country dances.
lt resembles several Of them In form.
From New orleans IL spread over the
entire south ana thence north. IL wasl
found of convenience 10 the plantation
negroes. They were not welded by Iii
ccnsc and IL was seldom that the serv-I
ices OF n preacher were called In. At n
cake walk n man might legltlmatelyI
show his preference for woman and
thus publicly claim her for wife.
In effect the cake walk was not diff
forcnt from the old scotch marriage
which required only public acSnowl-i
cdgmcnt from the contracting parties.
SO this festival became I'm some sense
n woolng, nm acceptance or rejectlonl
and n ceremony. This explains Its pop
ulnrlty with the blacks outside OF it's
beauties, with the accompaniment Of
music, which IN competent at all tines
90 command negro support.
Cake walking has improved, as dol
most things that are constantly prac-I
ticcd. II has lost lts old Significance
In the south. Negroes now get married.
when they marry nj all I'm the white
folks fashion. II has become, howev-I
cr, n pantomime dance Properly per-
formed, II is n beautiful one The cake.
Is not much of n prize, though the ne
gro has n sweet tooth.
