FRIGHT AND NERVE.
Dynamite Drummer Displays Both
in Railroad Wreck.
travelling Man Tells why He Always
Moves in the Next Car when He
Meets Fellow Who Watches
HIS NaIise Closely

The worst case of fright and about
the best case of nerve l ever came
across" said the drummer to a Mil
waukee reporter, was chap who
was travelling through the middle
west for a firm last spring. l met
him on the train and found he played
good game of whist, so with two
other men we made up little game.
He was my partner and was a very
silent fellow. He didn't even mention
what his line was, which is unusual.
With him he had a satchel of very SUI
perior make, and the way he kept his
eye on that all the time, sneaking lit
tie nervous peel<s at it every two min
utes led me TO suspect that he was a
Jewelry man, and had big lot of
valuable stones in the grip. though ]
couldn't imagine why a man should
take such chances carrying such
things in a satchel. Well. the smash
came-it was my latest one, by the
way-just as my partner was on his
way back 20 the game from having
gone to get some water. In all the
excitement l distinctly noted the veil
he let out. 1t was the finest piece of
vocal work of that kind that l had
ever heard. AS the car sort of
crumpled up he made a dive toward
us, and l figured that he was think
ing of his satchel. My luck was with
me and 1 found a way out with moth
ing worse than scalp wound and a
collection of bumps. Pretty soon he
came crawling out after me. He
wasn't hurt, so far as 1 could see. but
he was whittier than a sheet. | gave
him a swig of whisky from my flask
and told him TO brace up. He took an
awful hooker, and then began to twist
his fingers and kind of moan:
My satchel! My satchel! Ny
satcheli'
We'll, what's the matter with
your satchel?' i said.
It's in there he said and Il
thought by his tone hewas going to cry.
It's in there where can't get at it.
Say, you make me tired, | said.
You ought to be mighty thankful to

Serum for Texas Fever.

A discovery of much interest ito those
who lose thousands yearly, owing to
the cattle pest, has been communicate
ed to the Academy of Medicine by NJ.
Lienniere, one of the leading scien-
lists on veterinary subjects, says a
Paris report. He claims to be able
to protect animals from Texas fever,
the worst form of parasite, by pro-
ducing the disease in serum from
animals which have been previously
attacked, thus alternating its viru-
lence and in furnishing vaccine virus
with which to inoculate and protect
cattle from the disease.

AN APPEALsTO RACE PRIDE.
December 18th. 1900.


One thing that the Gospel has dsne
Is that it has brought cut the value OF
the individual. The time was when q
single life did not count for much.
The community, the nation, the gov
ernment was everything.
The single individual, as an individ-
ual. was regarded as trifle. But such
is not the case with the present order
OF civilization, ano the high state of
civilization in our day, is the fruit OF
common sense and christianity.
No nation amounts to anything an.
til that nation thinks itself something.
No race need expect others to honor
and appreciate it when that race does
not honor itself II the Negro would
rise and take his place ameng the 9TH

others have and are doing-loVe him

Gibraltar fortress, always made him
self closely acquainted with the work

on duty.

in about IL or u o'clock"

AS to the moral condition of tn

AS to the moral condition of the
negrows, there appears to be good
reason for believing that it is now in
the way of betterment. Little as they
were disturbed in their conduct by
the sudden change in their apparent
place in the world, they were for a
time somewhat shaken as regards the
limits of their rights. So far as have
been able to learn, they are much less
given to stealing than they were just
after they were freed, or even as they
we're as slaves. Their marital rela-
tions, though leaving much still to be
desired, are improving, as is all that
relates to the care of their children.
Most important is the fact that loose
relations between white men and ne
gro women have in great measure
ceased, SO that the unhappy mixture
of the races, which has been the curse
of tropical states, is apparently not
likely to prove serious.

LADIES' COLUMN.
4 CLEAN CELLAR.

| A clean cellar is expected in the
home of good housekeeper That it
should be frequently aired goes with
out saying. But early in this month,
if it is not done before, every corner
should be thoroughly swept, the walls
swept and whitewashed, all vegetables
inspected, the refuse thrown away
bins, boxes, barrels, and crates emp
tied, and the entire place made as
neat as kitchen should be. No doubt
much so-called malaria-the fashion
able name used to cover multitude
of hygienic sins-is directly due to
foul air, much of it arising from ILL
kept cellars. The cellar air penetrates
through floors and floods living rooms
with untold filth. Hence the wise
woman permits no accumulation of
old utensils and debris of various
kinds, often including soiled and dis
carded kitchen cloths, to poison the
atmosphere and breed all sorts of dis
eases. During the month the sunshine
should be often invited to enter the
mace all hampers and register should
be closed before sweeping. AS san
itary measure it is well, at this point,
to call in the furnace man to have the
pipes and fur mace itself examined,
cleaned and repaired. When practi-
cable, open all the cellar windows to
let the air draw through and sweeten
the underground domain. Should it
be damp, keep in one corner an old
iron vessel with a lump of unslacked
lime, and frequently expose dish of
charcoal in lump. Should there be
any suspicion of an unsanitary condi-
ton, in addition to all these, wash the
walls with a weakened solution of
copperas. It may be done with an
old whitewash brush.-Good House
keeping.
