RELIGION AND POssUM.-An in.
cident told by the Rev. V. B. Carroll
in The The Homiletic Review makes
apparent the necessity in this transi'
ton period of getting the Negro in
wardly right in order that his relation
ship to society may be right.
1--WE were driving out one Sunday
from Decatur, when we came upon a
Negro with club in his hand and
freshly killed 'possum on his shoulder
We stopped to examine his prize, and
the colonel said
"My friend, do you know it is
Sunday?"
"Sartin, boss"
care YOU not religious man ?"
81 are. I'ze jist on my way home
from church."
"And what sort of religion have you
got that permits you to 90 hunting on
Sunday ?"
"Religiou, religion ?" queried the
man as he held the 'possom up with
one hand and scratched his head with
the other. "Does you 'spect any black
man in Alabama is gwine to tie hissel
up to any religion dat lows a 'possun
to walk right across de road ahead O

GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES.

President Transmits the Report OF the Com
mission to Congress.
President Mckinley, on last Friday
transmitted to congress the report .
the Philippine commission. The report
IL synopsis of which has already beer
published, is quite voluminous.
The report is devoted principally tt
the elaboration of a plan of govern
ment which the commission deems es
pecially adapted to the government o
the islands. The government recon
mended is closely analogous to thai
administered in the territories of the
United States. 1t is proposed that
the Filipinos be accorded the largest
possible measure of home rule, especi
ally in local affairs, and that the civi

sion any attempt 10 establish a protec

increase our liability to complications
with other nations, some of which
would soon be trying to conquer the
islands for themselves.
In connection with the subject oI
government the commission reached
the following conclusions
|. The United States cannot with
draw from the Philippines. We are
there and duty binds us to remain
There is no escape from our response

To IAN SKINS WITH THE HAIR o.

TO TAN SKINS WITH THE HAIR On
A subscriber, who omits both name and
address, asks us to give method by
which he may tan skins and pelts
without removing the fur or hairs.
There are several methods, more OF
less complex, for the purpose but the
following will be found simple and ef-
(icacious "Take spoonful of alum
and two of sallpeter; pulverize and
mix well together, then sprinkle the
powder on the flesh side of the skin,
and lay the two flesh sides together,
leaving the wool outside. Then fold
up the skin as tight as you can and
hang it in dry place. In two or three
days, or as soon as it is dry, take il
down and scrape it with a blunt kuifr,
till clean and supple. This completes
the process, and makes you most eX'
celleut saddle cover. If, when you
kill your mutton, you treat the skins
this way, you can get more for them
from the saddler than you can get for
the wool and skin separately disposed
otherwise. Other skins which you
desire to cure with the fur or hair on
NAV be treated in the same way."-

HIS VISIT TO VESUVlUS.

An American who detests sightsee-
ing upon principle, loafed for six weeks
at Sorrento without stirring in the di
rection of places most travellers would
have thought it criminal to omit. His
only dread was the cross-questioning oil
kind friends when he got home. TO
confess that he had deliberately staid
away from all those celebrated spots
of interest, would bring down no end
of scoru and denunciation upon him.
But sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof, and the American resolved to
trust to inspiration to get him out OF
such scrapes. The first person he met
after leaving Sorrento was an Ameri-
can woman on the train, and the first
thing she wanted to know was if he
had climbed Vesuvius.
IL did," said the American without
a quiver.
"Oh, tell me about it !" cried the
woman. "How interesting it must
have been My husband never would
let me 60 up; but I'd just love to hear
your experience"
The American, having heard the
whole story many, many times, plung-
ed into it with much detail. He de-
scribed the long drive from Naples to
the foot of the mountain and the steep
ness of the inclined railway, and the
way the women in the party squealed
and all the rest of it. From time to
time the woman interrupted with some
searching question +; but so well did be
know his lines that never once did she
catch him mapping. At last, after a
realistic account of how, after leaving
the train, he had plunged his way on
foot through the hot, powdery lava to
the crater's very edge, the American
paused for breath.
"Aud what" asked the woman,
"were your sensations as you gazed
down that fiery pit ?"
"Madam," said the American, 81

liars."-New York Sun.

4. There being no Philippine nation ;

ples--there is no general public opinion
in the archipelago; but the men OF
property and education, who alone in

American authority, guidance and pro-
lection.

practical time, provide for the Philip
pines the form of government herein
recommended or another equally liber
al and benefcent.
6. Pending any action OH the part OF
congress the commission recommends
that the president put in operation this
scheme of civil government in such
parts of the archipelago as are at peace

ippines permit, public education should
be promptly established and when es'
tablished made free TO all.

SHE WANTED GOLD.

Most comical stories are told at the
expense of the fair sex regarding their
lack of familiarity with banks and
their methods. One came to the ears
of the Saunterer that apparently has
the merit of newness.
"My wife had saved up her pin
money, or what she hadn't had occa'
sion to use of it," said the relator of
the story, "until she had $40 in bills
of various denominations. This she
was extremely desirous of securing
gold for, and every day when l came
home to dinner she would haul me
over the Goals because I had forgotten
to procure the shining metal. Finally
she said she would attend to the mat
ter herself. That evening she greeted
me with triumphant smile.
"'I got my gold," she exclaimed as
soon as l entered the house; 'but l
had time in doing it, though
"Then she told me how she had
gone TO the mint with her bills and
been refused the coveted coin because
the notes weren't gold notes. Next
she hustled around to a bank and
secured four $40 gold pieces. These
didn't suit her because they weren't
new and shiny, so she trotted back to
the mint with them and exchanged
them for two double eagles, fresh
from the dies. 1 listened to her recital
and asked her to let me see the
coins.
"'Let you see them y she exclaimed
in surprise. why, haven't them
any more, you goose!
"'Haven't them any more" l re-
peated. what did you do with
them?'
"She looked at me with mingled
scorn and contempt.
"I deposited them in the -
Savings bank, of course. That's what
l wanted the gold for. What did you
think 1 was going to do with them
Keep them around the house to look
at?"

then and for half an hour afterward,
to make any reply."-The Cincinnati

THE WAY TO "BoIL" EGGs.-Ii
you want soft boiled eggs cooked to
perfection, don't boil them! An egg
that is actually boiled, be it two min
utes, three minutes, or any other brlel
"syllable of recorded time" may, in-
deed have Il soft yolk but the white
will be leathery and indigeslible. Here
is the perfect method, which, once
tried, will never be abandoned: Let
the water-sutlicien in depth to cover
the eggs-be brought TO a hard boil.
Then drop in the eggs, and immedi'
ately remove the vessel from the fire.
1t should not boil an instant after the
eggs are in. Let the eggs remain in
the hot water II or 15 minutcs-a lit
tie time, more or less, will make no
difference. When opened, the whites
will be found deliciously soft, as well
as the yolks, and equally digeslihle.-

CHARACTER In RED HAIR.-Red'
haired women are ardent and viva
cious, especially if with it they have
hazel eyes, in which case they have
bright and quick intelligence.
They have a great deal of natural.
felicity for study, and good memories
Red hair with blue eyes shows the
same warmth of character but not so
much intelligence bright golden hair,
of rich, deep color and of a crisp and
waving texture, growing thickly ON
the head and somewhat low on the
brow, shows an ardent, poetic and
somewhat artistic temperament. 1t Is
the signature Of Apollo, the sun. Peo'
ple with red-brown hair which is very
thick, and redder over the ears and at
the temples than on the head, are
courageous and energetic. This sort
of hair gives sense of color in painters,
force of language and eloquence in
poets, and power in musical compost

 Dinner Served by Pupils. :

Montevallo, November 29.-(Special) )-The pletely captivated by Montevallo and the Girls Industrial School today. The mem bers came from Montgomery on a special train, arriving here at Il o'clock
 There were 15O persons in the legislative party, including several ladies, who had come at the invitation of President Peter son to inspect the great school of which Montevallo and the entire State is so justly proud Monevallo's hospitality to the legis- latve party was perfect and a thoroughly delightful day was spent inspecting the departments, buildings and grounds and en- toying a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner perfectly served by dainty maidens of the school.
 President Peterson did not dismiss the school for Thanksgiving, and when the leg islators arrived and were conducted through the buildings they found each department carrying on it's work as in the regular reef tations. The legislators marveled at what they saw After a complete inspection of the departments the school girls were as sembled in the chapel, where exercises were held. President Peterson in short speech extended a hearty welcome to the General Assembly and presented Senator Meador, who presided during the remainder of the exercises.
 Senator Meador was enthusiastic in his response to the welcome, and it was clear that the school had made a most favorable impression upon one legislative leaders. The sight of four hundred bright school girls, beautiful in their conduct and so devoted to their president, striving to ob- tain mental, industrial and physical train ing, completely won the Senator, as, in fact, all of the legislators. There were several short talks by members, Senator Jones' re- spending to industrial Training" Rep resentative Hefiin, to Woman, and Rep resentative Erie Pettus, to TAlabama,'
 Senator Thompson, who is a member of the board of trustees, presented the school a splendid life-sized picture of Dr. George B. Eager, formerly member of the board. At the conclusion of the speech-making, Thanksgiving dinner was served in the din- ing hall of the dormitory. Work on the new dorma tory is fast progressing and 1t will soon be an ornament indeed to the State when completed.

CHINESE SITUATION.
Rusia Favors Revision of the Penalty
 Clause.

London, November 3O.-Dr. Morrison, wr- Ing to the Times from Pekin yesterday, says:
 ''M de Giers, Russian minister who had previously assented to all the terms of the conjont note, including the death penalty clause. has now intimated to the Chinese envoys that Russia ever actuated by a sincere friendship for China, will insist either upon the revision of the death penal- fly clause, substituting a provision that the guilty shall be punished by the Chinese in a manner acceptable to the powers or that the terms of the note shall not be irrevoc- able, but may be modified by negotiations with the Chinese envoyS.
 Russia has thus again proclaimed how farcical is the so-called concert. The Chi nese envoys are kept well informed re- garding the discussions and disputes of the ministers at their meetings. So intimate in- deed are the relations of Ii Hung Chang with the Russians that there Is no reason why he should not be invited to attend the conference of the ministers.
