THE RACE PROBLEM.

The New York Sun devotes a
large amount of editorial space to a
review of the late address of Ex-Gov-
ernor MacCorkle before the Montgom-
cry, Ala, conference on the negro
problem in the South, and has some
very kind things to say of the speaker.
For instance:
1T was. by far, the most important ut
terance at that conference of Southern
men and has a philosophic and statesman
like dignity which has been generally abb
sent from both Northern and Southern
discussion of the negro franchise since
the impossible proposition for the repeal
of the XVIII Amendment was made
1t is impossible to agree with all the
Sun says, however, regarding this able
discussion of a great problem. A case
in point is the remark that:
THE apparent indifference with which
even the Northern States that united in
the ratification of that Amendment have
regarded its annulment by the great body
of the old Confederate States would there
fore be a manifestation of political de-
generacy provocative of reasonable alarm
for the observation of our political insti-
. tutiops At indicated more than the wear
iRess caused by the long agitation over
Here the Sun is manifestly in error.
The apparent indifference" at the
North in the "annulment' of negro
votes has been almost entirely the re-
suit OF the popular verdict that the en-
reimbursement of the blacks in the
South was premature and a political
mistake of gigantic proportions. The
ex-slaves were not ready for anything
like an intelligent use of the ballot
thirty years ago; but small proper
ton of them are fitted for the fran
chise even now, and the action OF the
whites of the South, although irregu-
lar under the law, was and Is a meas
ure of self-preservation to be condoned
by the situation there. The attempt to
limit the southern negro vote is not
simply the exclusion Of ignorance and
iiliteracy 1t goes beyond that 1t is
the determination of the white man to
rule, as is exemplified in India, in
Egypt, in Africa generally, in Hawaii,
III the Philippines, and long
ago in the United States, in Cuba,
in Mexico, and in South America. The
white man will not submit to control
by an inferior race. He never has and
he never will. And in the South the old
tendency has been followed out

When Mrs Potter Palmer was man-
imously elected president Of the board,
she BOD never pesided>at q meeting of
any Kind In her lie. She was Utterly in
experienced in managing bodies of wo-
men, The board of women managers
was new departure-a collection of I'M
tried women in a fresh field without Ell
Their precedent, definite direction or OBJ
Iceland, further, it was a gathering of
many different kinds of women, with
widely varying aims and views. To weld
this chaotic mass into harmonious
whole, to turn it along a path of credit
to the board and to the country at large,
was task to try woman of the widest
executive experience.
In the months succeeding the first gath
ering of the board of women managers
Mrs. Palmer thought out for the board a
policy to be pursued and an objective
point to be reached. On the one hand, the
suffragists, the temperance advocates and
every woman or body of women with a
hobby were clamoring for recognition and
help. On the other hand, the large mass
of INDECENT female workers ycarned to
fill the Women's building with crazy
quilts and statues made out of butter
With delicate iirmness Mrs Potter put
all these offers of assistance and contri-
button on one side and steered her
ship and crew through shoals and past
reefs to the safe harbor. She organized
her great, unwieldy board into a splendid
working body, which, scattered over the
land to north south, east and west, car
ried it's work and mission into the far
thermost corners of this great country
and interested every woman in every
community in the aims and objects of the
board. Each commissioner who crossed
the seas to tell the rest of the world
what we were preparing here took with
him special commission from Mrs
Palmer.-Caroline Kirkland in Ainslee's

If you don't believe this, just inter-
view all your country bred women friends
who have become city residents, and you
Will discover that this is true. Asphalt
and cut stone pavements are responsible
for this popularity, just as they are re-
sponsible for the increased sensitiveness
and enlarged growth of horses feet.
The feet of the thoroughbred that has
never cantered over anything save the
yielding sod of stock farm or the soil
OF the race course show a marked differ
ence after the same horse has been driven
several years over the hard city streets.
Were it not for the skill of the veterina-
rians and the adjustment of rubber pads
about the tender portions of the hoofs
they would often be obliged to suffer ex-
cruciating pain.
AS the soft yielding earth is the only
natural thing for man and beast to tread
upon, both man and beast must suffer
more or less when an artificial substance
is substituted. Mems feet are Just as
much affected by the transition from
country to city life as women's, only they
don't notice it, as very few men know
or care what size shoe they wear.
In the feet OF woman who has al
ways lived in the country the muscles
are soft and supple, while the same mus
Giles in the feet of the city woman are
firm and hard. The reason of this is that
when the city woman walks those mus
cles are brought into what you might call
gymnastic exercises with the hard pave
ment as each step is taken. With the
hardening of the muscles there also is a
graduu enlargement of the entire foot.
EMU III of the evil effect of city pave
ments upon the human foot can be neu-
tralized by care and attention. The wo-
man who has just moved to town wants
to bear in mind that she must in time
wear a larger shoe and that it is well to
attain to No. or gradually and not
cling to the old number until her feet are
almost ruined"

There is nothing that will afford quick
er relief from the annoying poison of Il
mosquito bite than simple household am
mona. This is also good for insect bites,
but for those of the mosquito it seems a
complete antidote. 1t is worth remem-
bering that small bottle of ammonia
within reach Of your pillow viii take
away all pain and itching and prevent
any swelling if you are not too sleepy to
use it promptly.
To many persons the bite of a mosqui-
to is fully as irritating and almost as
lasting as the sting of bee. If am
monia is not available, a piece of or
binary yellow soap answers the same
cooling and healing purpose. Moisten
the soap and spread it thiCkly over the
spot. In serious cases. onions are eff
fectual but the sting should be well
pressed out before the cut onion is rub
bed upon the skin.
If you live in mosquito neighbor-
hood and cannot get away from the
buzzing nuisances, the next best thing
is to keep the mosquitoes away from
you. In the mountains ''smudge' Of
thick smoke is often used for the same
purpose But plenty of campers would
prefer the mosquitoes.

All the architecture of the world is rep
resented in natures iceberg designs.
Sometimes little berg will have the
appearance of an Arabs white tent as
it rides on a desert looking sea. Anoth-
er, its sharp outlines softened in the va
porous atmosphere, will appear like a
domed mosque in green marble. A clus-
ter of Chinese pagodas comes drifting
slowly down the current, followed by a
stately Gothic cathedral, early style. Then
comes a coliseum, and beyond n huge
man-of-war floats down the current, its
stem submerged, with foam breaking
over it, the stern 70 feet aloft.
For every cubic foot of ice above wa
ter there are seven cubic feet below.
When a large berg is seen, it is there
fore quite impossible to realize its full
size. The mind can hardly conceive that
an object which has all the appearance
of actually riding on the surface should
in reality only be raising one-eighth Of
its bulk above the water.
Even those who have studied icebergs
at close quarters find it impossible to
conceive their colossal bulk. A berg that
stranded in Melville bay, for instance,
weighed 2,0000O0O00 tons! 1t was
aground in water half mile deep. An
other berg was found to measure 2la
miles in length and two miles in breadth.

Tim CnI,es For Fuel.

In many parts of Normandy spent

ing, and then, by means of very primi-
tive sort of press, they make it into
cakes, which very uch resemble peat

shelves erected on the Y Is of the house
and garden and prctecte>. from the rain
by little sloping roofs.
These tan cakes make excellent fuel,
and in Caudcbec, little place between
Rouen and Havre, it is much used. It
seems that thousands of tons of tan are
thrown away annually, which at small
cost might be converted into excellent
fuel.-London Mail.

The Women of Morocco.

Morocco is a paradise for the woman
hater.
He who has been scurvily treated by
the unfair sex may there find balm for
his bruised spirit. Either woman is not
seen at ALL or, if noticed in the public
ways, is cursed and cuffed. Her highest
ambition is to fatten on sweet stuff as
Gagged bird on rapeseed.
When her youth and beauty leave her,
and kohl and henna no longer stave off
the ravages of time and domesticity she
is thrown on public charity as private
nuisance. TO the Moslem way of think
ing the new woman would be as impos
sible Of acceptance as is the New Tesla
ment.
During his first few days in the land
any American feels his blood boil at
signs Of skinny and accomplishing old
hays keeping pace painfully ON the hot,
sandy highways beside the mule that
bears their husband, son or brother, but
time softens the shock, and to his first
impulse Of rebellion in favor of an limo
walton Of Equality" much abused in the
fair cities of the north, there succeeds Il
cynical acquiescence in this compromising
survival of male ascendency and female
obsequiousness, this relic OF the old order,
at the gates of Europe and not quite at
the antipodes Of New York.
Woman in Morocco, he soon perceives,
is no more than a domesticated ANIMAL
but then students of social evolution as
sure us that She was once Oh that foot
ing, purchased and fed that she might do
the work of the house and bear the race,
in what are now civilized communities,
1t is the utter misconception Of the ro-
nance Of marriage that has raised her to
a throne that she often shows herself
wholly unable to grace.
They manage these things differently in
Morocco. The grave old pasha pays a
good price to her parents for Fatma, and
Fatma by the same token he keeps with
in doors, carrying the key of her apart
ments in his sash or intrusting it to a
slave answerablc with his head. Fatma
is pampered as long as she is young and
may even be treated With kindness in
middle life

Palmer-The Old Love Letters,
Woodstock is a little town in Illinois
where a number of good and honest peo-
pie live and an especially enterprising
woman who devotes her time to the rails
ing of a new breed of rats that promises
to be the coming pets. In fact, Mrs.
Edith Kingman Poyer has invented the
new PETITE Peruvian cavy, an orna-

like ball of soft corded silk, with the

superstitions of Housemaids.

People are likely to regard house serv-
ants as persons of a prosaic turn of
mind, little given to imagination. The
contrary is the case. Nowhere do SUI
perstitions linger with such force as in
the kitchen. Every little incident there
is big with the mysteries of fate. Mys-
terry and imagination are with the house
maids life and career, from the time
when she rouses herself unwillingly from
her heavy slumbers in the early morning
and flies to the dream book" to see
what strange and wonderful happenings
are predicted by her latest nightmare to
the hour when she is about to retire to
rest. Before going to bed she makes
sure that the kitchen clock is wound up,
for if it should stop in the night it is a
sign that her employers will have visit
from country relatives, which will neces-
state a great increase in her work A
hunchbacked guest means luck, and this
is why, when waiting at table, servants
hover around the chair of the deformed
person, passing and repassing it as often
as possible. If knife is dropped, it
means that a strange woman is about to
visit the family; if a fork, the stranger
spoon will suffer some grievous disap-
pointmcnt.
A visit paid on a rainy day by red
haired woman to the mistress of the
house means "a months notice" to the
maid, so auburn haired women are adj
vised to stay at home instead of paying
calls in wet weather. To drop flatiron
means death in the family.

on the second syllable, and whichever
way you pronounce it one of them is an
CRY at you. Nobody ever seems certain
whether to say Cecil or Sessil; some ac-
cent Janet in front and some behind;
even comparatively simple names like
Caroline, Emmeline and Madeline are
given one time with the long sound of i
and the next with the short sound. There

Phoebe and Hebe were made monosyl-
lables.-Chicago Post.

The Inventive Woman.

There is the toothbrush handle. \ man
never thinks of a toothbrush rs anything
but n toothbrush, but woman knows its
endless capabilities. If a window frame
rattles at night, she wedges it with the
toothbrush. If she is suddenly required
to stir dose Of medicine in a glass, and
a spoon is not at hand, she promptly uses
the toothbrush handle She has even
been known to use it to loosen the mold
in a flowerpot, and in extreme cases she
can drive in tin tacks with the same use
full article.
Then there is the hairpin. The uses TO
which a woman can put hairpin are al
most innumerable. Does a cork find its
way to the bottom of n vial, woman
will Immediately spear it with a hairpin
and extract it, Does she wish to bore Il
small hole in a piece of wood, she will
heat a hairpin and burn the hole out
with neatness and precision. With Il
hairbrush, unless it happen to have a sill
yer back, she feels able to drive in the
largest NALL to punish the most vigorous
small boy and to convert lump sugar into
the finest of powdered sugar.
She can make an excellent hammer
with the heel of her boot and can con-
vert a case knife into an efficient screw
driver. If woman knew the process Of
building a boat she might he east ashore
on an uninhabted island with nothing
but hairpin, toothbrush and an ordi-
nary sized boot, and within a month she
would turn out Il seaworthy boat in
which she would escape to CIVILIZATION
