Booker Washington's address before
the National Teachers association at
Charleston was the drawing card.
He made strong and convincing plea
on behalf of the colored people for
fair play. One point made by Mr..
Washington was the injustice of iudg-
ing of the capacity and the future of
the colored people by the least worthy
representatives. They ought to be
judged by the best among them and
by the actual progress being made by
the more inspiring, ambitious and en-.
terprising.

which has been found to be the most
effective way
In the navy compressed gun-cotton
is still largely used for torpedo
charges and other submarine ground
mines; but the army favors the more
powerful nitro-gelatine owing to its
enormous shattering power. When
bridges, stockades, walls, forts or any
similar distractions have to be re-
moved gelatine is the substance that
will do it the most effectively.
Gelatine, as used for military pur-
poses, consists of 80 per cent. of nitro
gelatine and s per cent. of nitro-cot-
ton. A certain percentage of camphor
is sometimes added to this compound,
as a safeguard, camphor having the
property of rendering the gelatine
less explosive. Gelatine, at an ord1
nary temperature, is quite elastic to
the touch and looks very much like
beautiful straw-colored jelly. When
lighted with a match it burns with
an intense white flame. 1t is insensibe
| to shock to friction, and to the pres
sure or action Of water. A powerful
detonator must be used to explode it.

MRS. CLEVELAND.

The recent birthday of Mrs. Grover
Cleveland will bring before the public
eye again the charming woman who,
as mistress of the white house,
achieved such popularity and inspired
universal esteem. It was very natural
that as first lady of the land she was
the cynosure of all eyes and what she
said and did was reported throughout
the country, but that today living as
she does a quiet and retired life, there
will be wealth of good wishes, for
happy birthday is a mark of genuine
admiration. It is a recognition Of the
sterling qualities which Mrs Cleveland
possesses and which make her the
type of the ideal American woman and
mother. The life Of Mrs. Cleveland
has been a singularly happy one. She
was born and received her early edu-
cation in Buffalo. Mr.. Cleveland be-
ing her fathers law partner she early
became acquainted with him. Aftes
her fathers death she and her mothe
moved to Medina and later, when her
course at Wells college was finished,
they went abroad. Her marriage to
Mr.. Cleveland was celebrated very
quietly at the white house in 1886.
mistress of the white house early
demonstrated her ability to be the
leader of the many social functions at
Washington. She became noted for
her tact and graciousness of man
ner, and it can safely be said that the
more popular hostess than Mrs. Cleve
land. After the life of gayety and
excitement to which Mrs. Cleveland
was accustomed at Washington one
wonders how she can be so content in
her quiet home at Princeton, N. J.
Ruth, Esther, Marian and her little
boy-and her devotion to them ex-
plain this, however. TIC surround
these children with all that is good
and beautiful and to have them grow
up blessing to their parents and
country is Mrs. Clevelands aim.
When the children were younger
Mrs. Cleveland established a kinder
garten for them and some of their
friends at the white house under the
supervision of Miss Mary Willard
Now that they are older they have

They are not wearied, however, with
regular hours for lessons or studies,
but the whole day is one of educa-
ton. Every new thing that comes up
day by day is explained and in such
way that their interest is aroused
in the subject. Thus learning to
them means pleasure. That this
careful training will result in their be-
ing noble men and women is without
doubt

HELLO" TABooED IN CHICAGO.
Telephone Girls Must Cultivate New
Style of Salutation or Quit.

"Hello!" is no longer a catchword
on the telephone system OF Chicago.
The word is tabooed by the manage
ment and the operators are now taught
TO ALLURE it.
Furthermore the girl who cannot
answer calls with rising infection
and a musical lifting tone loses her
job and gives way to one whose voice
capabilities and evolutionary adapta-
bility enable her to jolly the sub
scriber into the belief that she is glad
to hear from him.
General Manager A. S. Hubbard has
established a sort of school of tele-
phonic oratory calculated to make the
responsive tones of the telephone girl
confidential, insidious and fattering.
If the subscriber pulls down the audi
phone and growls:
Central four-eighty- eight" with a
falling infection, he is Immediately
shocked and edited by a musical So
prano which limpidly gurgles:
Central four double eighth" with
rising infection that is at once an
invitation and challenge. He is
ashamed of his bad elocution and
raucous delivery. It is the rising in
Election which does it. If the girl is
on to her job she gives the lifting
tone as though she were glad you spoke
and wanted to continue the converse
ton in the most confidential manner.
The subscriber concludes that the OPP
orator is glad that he spoke. He Is
jollied If his temper is ruff1ed, it be-
comes smooth. If he has burrs in his
voice he tries to Danish them.
