because you see the recent converts
who were given control OF the party of
Lincoln, Sumner. Grant and Lovejoy,
in this State say to US loyal colored
Americans, "You are not needed any
more in your party; we, the new bosses
propose to do without you. We know
you are loyal but your skin is too black
and your Negro smell is offensive; we
cannot sit in council with you, so keep
OUT" and thus we are out. How can

made them arrogant, and dangerous to

Major Mckinley said:

Blanched almonds are the highest
kind of nerve or brain or muscle food,
having no heat or waste. says a writer
in Good Housekeeping. Walnuts give
brain or nerve food, muscle, heat and
waste. Green water grapes are blood
purifying. but of little food value. Blue
grapes are feeding and blood purifying,
but too rich for those who suffer from
the liver Tomatoes have higher nerve
or brain food qualities; they are thin
ming and stimulating. Juicy fruits give
more or less nerve or brain nutriment
and some few muscle food and waste.
Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food. but do not give staying
qualities Prunes afford the highest
nerve or brain food, supply heat and
waste, but are not muscle feeding. Or
anges are refreshing and feeding.
Green figs contain nerve and muscle
food, heat and waste. The great ma
jority of small fresh seed fruits are
laxative. Lemons and tomatoes should
not be used daily in cold weather; they
have a thinning and cooling effect.
Raisins are stimulating according. to
their quality.

Abyssinians Expert al Thatching.

In describing Abyssinia and its
strange capital a writer in Parsons
tells of its mushroom growth as fol-
lows: A crowd Of workers appears with
loads Of sticks some - feet high. These
Ire planted in the ditch to erect the
walls, and few more sticks are twist
ed in and out to keep them together.
Now comes the preparation of the roof.
A number of men climb up inside and
bind together more sticks like the
frame of an umbrella. AS soon as these
are In position they Chamber outside
like monkeys and set to work to thatch.
For this purpose they bring great
bundles of hay and Irvine it between
the sticks. They are not an artistic ma
ton, and they have next to no indus
tries, but at matching they are really
expert, and they turn out work which
would call for admiration even in
civilized country. They do not trouble
to produce an elegant finish, but this
often adds to the picturesqueness Of

LOVE AND NATURE.


Dsas Love. when spring has come, all nature
wakes
And from her languid lids the bandage takes
10 look with wondering eyes upon the world
The trees untold their robes Of silvery green,
And thrifty insects from the blossoms glean;
Each birding finds mate both fond and true
And /, dear Love, have you
Dear Love- in summer time each heightened day
To harvest fields tribute rich must pay
OF sunshine packed in grains Of yellow corn.
The earth is weighted with the seasons store;
No creature, tree nor vine ask for NOSE.
Nature has satisfied each bird and bee,
Has given you to me-
Dear Love, chill fall doth paint in colors rare
The forests and the fields that soon grow bare
As winter clasps them to her Icy breast.
Nature must wake and work and rest awhile,
Must sleep and cry, perchance, as well as smile;
And nature, life and love are one, know,
Because l love you SO.

A grain of sand in the eye can cause ex-
cruciating agony. A grain of pepper in
place of the grain of sand intensfies the
torment. The pain is not confined to the
organs affected. The whole body feels

1t is so when there is any arrangement or
disorder of the delicate womanly organs.
The disorder may seem trivial but the
