Give Him a Courteous Greeting.

A gallant old, American soldier who
at one time was well known il. Kansas
had many idoiosyncrasies, not The
least Of which was an irrepreasible dis
like for young lieutenants when first
sent out from West Point. The name
Of this soldier was Gen. Starr. and at
the time Of which we write he was q
major in the Sixth United States
Cavalry, though during the civil wor
he had been e brigadier general.
In 1874 Gen. Starr was in COMMAND
at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly
came to his quarters with message
that Lient. Morrison, just from \ West
Point, WAS at the post ready to pay
his respects and report for duty. In
response to this message the old gen.
eral was starting for his office, when
his wife, motherly old soul, plucked
him by the sleeve aad said: .'Now,
general, promise me that you won't be
rough with that young man."
''Rough?" said the old man, smil-
ing amiably upon his matrimonial COM

cream unless the young dog riles me-"
Reaching his Office the general was
confronted with dapper little fellow,
as spick and span as though he had
just come from the hands Of his bar
Der and tailor, while he had the half

Bile from the 6rst stages Of military

Tornadoes are Costly.

1.-THE physical features of hurricanes
are we'll understood,' says Prof.
Bigelow, Of the Weather Bureau.
''The approach of hurricane is usual
ly indicated by long swell on the
ocean, which forewarns the observer
by two or three days. A faint rise in
the barometer occurs before the grad
ual fall, which becomes very pronounc-
ed in the center; fine wisps Of cirrus
clouds are first seen, which surround
the center to distance of 200 miles;
the air is calm and sultry. but this is
gradually supplanted by gentle breeze.
and later the wind increases to gale,
the clouds become matted, the sea
rough, rain falls, and the winds are
gusty and dangerous as the vortex
core comes in. Here is the indescrib-
able tempest. dealing destruction,
impressing the imagination with It's
wild exhibition of the force of nature,
the flashes of lightning, the torrents
Of rain, the cooler air, all the elements
in an uproar, which indicate the close
approach Of the center. In the midst
OF this turmoil there is a sudden
pause, the winds almost cease, the sky
clears; but the waves rage in great
turbulance. This is the eye of the
storm, the core Of the vortex, and it
is perhaps twenty miles in diameter,
or one-thirtieth of the whole hurri-
cane. The respite is brief and is soon
followed by the abrupt renewed of the
violent wind and rain, but now com
ing from the opposite direction, and
the storm passes of with the several
features following each other in the
reverse order.
"Cyclones or general storms may be
1000 miles in diameter. Hurricanes
operate on path averaging 600 to 800
miles wide. Tornadoes are very much
smaller. They may be only a mile
wide at the top and but few feet at
the bottom, but they are much more
dangerous than either Cyclone or
hurricane. They form in all parts of
the temperate zone-at sea they are
waterspouts, and on the desert they
a9e sand storms. Sometimes q whole
family Of tornadoes will be born at
once from the same cloud. AS many
es fifteen tubes have been observed at
one time. In winter months they
OCCUR only il our Gulf States, but iu
summer they occur in the North, in
Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa and
Minnesota. The average is twenty
five year. They are simple examples
of vortex motion. A mass Of air
rotating at low level runs into vor-
tex, and tube is projected down
ward. The velocity Of the lower end
Of the tube may reach 200 miles an
hour and it is the partial vacuum
caused by the whirl and the sudden
thrush Of the outside air that causes
the disastrouss explosive effects.

The Manual Training School.

Mr.. " alter B. Hayson, who has for
years given excellent service as an
instructor in the Washington High
School, is being urged by a host of
friends for the principalship of the Col
oIed Manual Training School soon to
be established and for which a liberal
appropriation has already be en- made
by Congress. Mr.. Hayson is scholar
and gentleman and possesses qualIfi
cations for such a post that cannot be
doubted by those who know hIm. He
is an original advocate for the desirabIl
ity of industrial training for the Afro
American youth and besides thorough
mental equipment he would bring to
such a school a personal interest and
enthusiasm that would guarantee its
success from the start. Mr.. Hayson
would make a most acceptable princi'
pal and we should like to see him ap-
pointed.

FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.

Booker T. Wasnington's Idea |
From an Authoritative Source
The Races Most Practical
Leader.
From the New York Tribune.
Probably no man In the United
States is better qualified to adyise both
white and black races for their com-
mon good concerning the Negro prob
lem than Booker T. Washington. En-
tirely free from every trait OF the
agitator and demagogue, and candid
in recognizing the Negro's faults and
the practical obstacles in his path, he
is also perfectly self respectful and
cours sgeous in claiming for the black
man his full rights under the COnsti-
tuition, and in claiming them as much
for the sake of the white man as the
black. Mr.. Washington has just pub
lished volume on the "The Future of
the American Negro" which is the
most sensible, practical and clear sight
ed treatment Of that subject that has
challenged attention for long time.
If every white legislator who is in
clined to vote for laws to suppress and
degrade the Negro as q man and voter,
while protecting ignorance and crime
in the whites, could read it carefully
and with open mind, he could hardly
l. ho nf "a
race problem is to help the inferior
race to q higher cIvillzstion, lest in
degrading it the superior degrade itself.
And If every hopeless student who
thinks the Negro has no future in
America could once grasp the full
meaning of Mr.. Washington's idea and
learn " hat be and others working on
the same plan are doing for southern
prosperity and harmony he would see
that the Negroes salvation and that Of
his white neighbours is IN being the
producer and developer OF the yet un-
developed South.
The South needs skilled wOrkmen
in every industry and offers splendid
chances to trained Negroes as pro-
ducers, while it has prejudice against
them as politicians or parasites. Mr.
Washington believes that the intelll-
gent Negro should be protected IN his
voting as well as the white man, and
the ignorant white man should be de-
nrived of the franchise along with The
ignorant Negro. He wants TO see his
race occupying high positions in bust
ness, professions and the state, but be
believes that the ideal must be reached
step by step, and that the present duty
of the Negroes as body is to learr
to be law abiding and prosperous

snect of the white man because they
